> Aren't thumb drives (USB) also vulnerable?

Yes.

I wonder if it is also possible to find a vulnerability in OCR software that could be triggered by a scanning maliciously formated sheet of paper.
Thanks very much rychco!
One one hand, this is exactly the the sort of less-work more-productivity UBI and universal healthcare should unlock for everyone. Gig heaven not gig hell.

When I heard "creators" I was worried this was some sort of platform where we had tiny aristocracy living off rents. But I gather it's turn-key software one runs on their website? That's great!

No platform means it's a lot harder to extort your customers. Meaning this is much more likely to be "the real deal".
You’d be surprised how often they do.
Supportive of one's educational ambitions ~= having the money to pay for one's educational ambitions to be realized.
One of the things I've learnt is the size of your audience doesn't matter - at least not initially.

What is much more important is that the messaging you use cuts through the noise. That means they read the half sentence of your headline and think "I need that".

You have literally four or five words to show them that you 1) understand their problem, 2) know it's a problem that they NEED solving and 3) have the solution they've been waiting for.

The rest of your copy just consolidates this initial impression. And without that "I MUST HAVE IT" initial reaction the biggest audience in the world is a waste of time.

Sometimes the size of the project you’re working on — or looking to work on — can be daunting. At the day job, you have a manager to break down the work for you and pass it around the team in bite-sized chunks.

You have to be that manager yourself — breaking the app or product down into small components and working out what should get done first.

Build a list in a form you’re familiar with — even if it’s a form you don’t like such as Jira. Break it down into large chunks and smaller assignments. Then start on the small stuff, ticking them off on by one.

When you see tasks being completed and the list moving, it builds a sense of momentum and it gets easier to keep going day after day.

If you don't know what you're going to work on or haven't decided what to build yet, then stop what you're doing and work this out first.
Yeah, between emacs and the shell I do 90% of my file manipulation in “CLI” environments.

Even when I use Finder, I use it like a CLI: typing and shortcuts for everything and minimal clicking.

The only exception is that I occasionally drop files, urls and documents from GUI applications into iTerm, rather than type out the whole thing.

If I could put the glass into the liquid it would be fairly easy. But, isn't the glass stuck to the top of a flatbed scanner in this case? Makes it a bit hard to put it into a liquid without breaking the scanner.
The commenters on either side of yours make it look like doubting the validity of economics is the province of people too lazy to make a real argument. I really don't want to take their side because of how they're presenting it. But somewhere in that idiocy there's a decent point to be made.

I've always been a bit uneasy about economics because people's behavior depends on their beliefs, and their behavior as economic agents especially depends on their beliefs about the the economic theory that motivated the design of their habitat.

I expect that if a population that grew up in a system designed under assumption X and happened to eat well and always have a roof, then they will behave in a way that confirms theories compatible with X.

On the other hand, if they experienced extreme economic strife under leadership that believes in the validity of X, then--as data points--they're more likely to influence economic theory testing in the opposite way.

How can you know whether your predictions are correct because they're objectively true about human behavior, versus them being correct because your sample set has been influenced by the same economic theory that motivated the prediction in the first place?

Is statistics really so powerful that it can eliminate the circularity from the situation?
PrivacyTools doesn't have a deal with any VPN company or any other company. They can become our sponsors, but they won't get listed as our recommendation on the website [1] (we don't even have any sponsor at the moment), also we can't profit from it personally and everything is transparently shown on OpenCollective [2].

Don't vehicles emit other greenhouse gases too? Or would the carbon cover the overwhelming majority of effect?
The tiny European country where I come from, the occupation classes with the seemingly most bargaining power are nurses, teachers, air stewards, as they seem to be striking every other year. At the same time they are still payed lower then other similar jobs with similar education requirements. I tend to think that their lower salaries can easier be attributed to the fact that these jobs are majority women. And there is still a significant gender gap in this country.

I’m sorry to say, but I’m little skeptical on how much bargaining power explains different pay gaps.
Their paper is also free to read on arXiv:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.00205

"We present two algorithms that proved useful in finding conjectures: a Meet-In-The-Middle (MITM) algorithm and a Gradient Descent (GD) tailored to the recurrent structure of continued fractions. Both algorithms are based on matching numerical values and thus they conjecture formulas without providing proofs and without requiring prior knowledge on any underlying mathematical structure. This approach is especially attractive for constants for which no mathematical structure is known, as it reverses the conventional approach of sequential logic in formal proofs. Instead, our work supports a different approach for research: algorithms utilizing numerical data to unveil mathematical structures, thus trying to play the role of intuition of great mathematicians of the past, providing leads to new mathematical research."

Noah's spot on about the tedium and emotional frustration of studying macroeconomics-- of staying up to late hours to learn something that not only may not correspond to real-world behavior, but demonstrably doesn't.

I'll point out that at the University of Michigan, where I believe Noah was before Stony Brook, there's exactly one class available on the philosophy of modeling and economics. And it's for upperclassmen and grad students.

I happen to think this really sucks and that the methods of model construction and model-oriented thinking should happen much earlier in economics study. Is it different any where else?
Or just look for swollen tops and leaks, which is probably all of them.
It's honestly worth going through election monitoring training in your state to find the answers to these questions.

> And, is this process identical (in design, and confirmed practice) for all states

No, of course not. The elections are run, independently, by each State. By design, the rules are different. Because we are a Federal government, made of multiple States. This is on purpose.

> Reality itself, and human measurements/opinions/"facts" about reality, are distinct entities. Related, but different.

Yes, and it is only rational to have beliefs based on evidence. And we live in a system of laws expressing how that evidence is to be gathered, evaluated, and decided upon.

This week, a ton of people rejected that process, because they FEEL like they can't trust it, proposing nothing to replace it instead.

> It may be "possible", but is it practical?

Voting irregularities are investigated, yes.

> Is the current approach perfectly optimal, or could it be improved?

Perfect is the enemy of good.

And we're discussing THIS election. I welcome a different discussion about improving the process for future elections.

> Did we spot check any ballots?

Yes. Please inform yourself. The information is available.

> How much evidence do we have that demonstrates or suggests that there precisely zero anomalies anywhere in the system

You can't prove a negative. Literally, you cannot.

We mitigate the risks. We look for evidence of wrong-doing. And when we can't find it, we look harder. We think about designing a process that is as good as possible, we enact laws, and we move on.

> Only if your premises are flawless.

I propose a method to gather evidence and evaluate it. A system of laws. We have that. We do that. It is not flawless. It is what we have. Improving that system by proposing better processes and laws is wonderful. Rejecting that process by violently storming the Capitol building, smearing feces on the wall, and murdering a police officer, is not wonderful.

> The above questions.

I don't think you asked any interesting questions. You asked questions that indicate you have not invested much time in researching them, and you asked epistemological questions. Neither were very constructive, for the current election, in my opinion.

> Also, it's probably worth pointing out that neither of us (or a combination of us) are guaranteed to have 100% comprehensive knowledge of all possible points of failure.

I don't propose that I do. I propose that we have a system of laws, and courts, and checks and balances, and a Fourth Estate (the media), to helps us evaluate possible points of failure and prosecute wrong-doing.

> Do any comprehensive conclusions logically (and inevitably) follow from this event,

She doesn't know what she's talking about. That is a logical conclusion.

> I would expect that someone was assemble a FAQ or Wiki of some sort that laid out the details

There are literally hundreds of books, hundreds of web pages, hundreds of explanations, millions of hours of explanation.

I agree there needs to be some reform of Section 230 in that direction. The law simply can't handle what the internet and social media have become.

When a platform is curating and recommending content to users, it should be treated more like a publisher and be held responsible for the content it promotes. It doesn't matter if the curation is done by hand or with algorithms.

Providers that simply allow the hosting and basic browsing of content should be protected as long as they are willing to remove illegal content when it is found.

Also, I wouldn't call it censorship at all. If a newspaper publishes an article they claim some responsibility for its content. The same should apply if Facebook highlights an article or YouTube recommends a video.
No, the government banning something is meaningful because they have the monopoly on violence. Reddit admins banning a sub and reddit mods banning a user is the exact same thing, it's just moderation of a private forum. Forcing private companies to publish pro-genocide speech, for example, is anti-freedom, not pro. If we're going to force reddit to publish pro-holocaust speech then all moderation everywhere must be banned as well, including on this very forum, to be consistent. I for one think this forum benefits greatly from active moderation, however.
> Research has proven that the nasal vaccine is the best choice. Coronavirus also attacks through the nose

> injecting the vaccine intramuscularly only protects the lower lung. A nasal vaccine can protect both the upper and lower lung and can prevent transmission of the virus as well as an infection

I'm not a biologist, but that just sounds strange.
Oh I didn't mean to suggest that a complete lockdown is not draconian. It is. Look at San Francisco: yes, stay-at-home orders were clearly effective there, but what once was a bustling city now has boarded up storefronts everywhere, it's depressing.

And for what it is worth, taking the opposite stance and being lax in the name of freedom or whatever can also be devastating, e.g. read anything about covid ravaging the US mid-west in the past few months.

As for the statistics, I think they are great for a 10,000 miles view, but at the same time, they can really support whatever narrative we want. 0.5% may seem like nothing, but if we instead point out there are 80 million people dead worldwide, it now sounds pretty darn scary. Regardless, there's all sorts of trickle down effects that are easy to gloss over when just looking at numbers: frontline doctors will probably have some very strong opinions about freedom SJWs, and likewise I'm sure jobless people facing imminent eviction will have strong opinions about their governments' response to covid.
The barriers to entry, usage, and understanding are just too high for average Joe. That and how the value of their money fluctuates compared to fiat makes it more difficult to use as a daily currency.
Also, when things go wrong there's nobody to turn to in most cases.
Sorry, but who are you to say who saw what and what officers MIGHT have been negligent during all that chaos?

If it is determined that the people who SMASHED HIS HEAD IN WITH A DAMN FIRE EXTINGUISHER didn't intend to kill him, the 2nd degree murder charge might possibly be downgraded to felony murder or manslaughter.
> I do have to say it doesn't take long before you just get sick of eating meat.

I got tired of avocados first. After several years, I still can't stand them! But keto is a lot more than meat, it is nuts and berries, dairy[1], and lots of green leafy vegetables.

The # of things I can't eat on keto comes down to bread, potatoes, rice, and super sugary fruits, but it isn't like the 170 grams of sugar (!!!!) in 1/2 a watermelon was ever good for me.

Just a side note, to compare a slightly similar situation (with far less potential for violence).

It happened in Germany several months and three officers defended the Reichstag building from radical anti-Corona protesters until reinforcements arrived.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc-56opg-Xg [cellphone source]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1AxyHaHYIY [actual news]

The key difference is that the German protesters didn't bring automatic weapons, molotov cocktails and pipe bombs. I sincerely hope federal authorities will get every single domestic terrorist involved in the Capitol storming.
Thanks for reporting the problem.

I just deleted the AAAA entry for this machine. In the meantime, if the result is cached for you, you can pass the `-4` argument to force IPv4:

git clone -4 git@git.deuxfleurs.fr:Deuxfleurs/garage.git

The US has less than 5% of the world's population. Which means if the qualities that make someone a great programmer are evenly distributed, 95% of great programmers are born outside the US.

That is the question isn't it -- are those qualities "evenly distributed" around the world?

Africans make up a lot less than 5% of the great marathoners
in the world. Does that mean the remaining 95% of great
marathoners in the world live outside of Africa?

There are usually a whole host of other intangibles associated with exceptional performance, which are sometimes directly undermined by a change in physical location.
Could you elaborate on that; why would politicians care?
Every social system is gameable. Trust based upon reputation is far far simpler than government. One thing bitcoin gives the world is the blockchain; there has never been a historical record that is free to access and to add records to, but impossible to modify. That's HUGE.

As for libertarians, you clearly don't understand at all. They want to avoid systems of conflict resolution that depend on violence; that's their whole point. Their obsession with trade, contracts and money arise from their view that those are voluntary ways of interacting.
Try using the Vim plugin (Vintage or the newer one, Vintageous) with Sublime. That way, you can gradually get used to modal editing.

I worked like that for 8-10 months then made the switch to Vim. I've gotten so used to modal editing (not to mention window management etc.) by then, that I didn't even skip a beat.
Contrary to the majority of predictions here, this would be a positive change: We should all at one point or another, hopefully not too far into the future, realize we've been led tragically astray in terms of our nutritional health by well meaning but unfortunately ill informed government officials and doctors. The current common wisdom will likely reverse and take with it many of the diseases of civilization: diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, maybe even cancer. That out of the way, current debates about socialized medicine and escalating insurance costs would turn into bad memories and we'll think "how could we have been so ignorant?" We'll live better, healthier, cheaper and maybe even longer. Local economies will revitalize, the environment will benefit, and it'll be "easy". Of course, current dogma will fight tooth and nail, proclaiming the new path leads to disaster, but disaster is what we have now, and it'll be soundly defeated. Nostrademus has spoken… :)
Selfish? At least as long as Elon Musk is the CEO of the
company, the main goal of Tesla is to transition transport
to away from non-renewable resources. He was also
explicitly asked that question by an actual shareholder
in a shareholder conference, and the answer was something
on that line.

I'm a huge Tesla fan, I applaud what they're doing in a major way. That doesn't change the fact that they are a for-profit publicly traded company who has an independent board of directors. Their goal is to make money. They'll make more money if they can extract tax breaks from states for building their factory in the region. They'll make more money if the franchising dealership laws are overturned.

It may be a beneficial outcome for humanity, but the pursuits are still 'selfish' in the sense that it's not some public interest group influencing the legislature, it's a company that will directly profit from its influence.
You can experiment with this very easily for yourself by asking yourself what problems you have right this moment. It turns out you never have problems when you have the time to ask yourself that question. The book The Power of Now is well worth reading. Most importantly, Tolle doesn't ask you to "believe" or have faith in what he says, just that you try it. And it works :)
The portion that was open-sourced was actually only the static portion of the site (the 'Learn' side). That was taken down before I got here, so I'm not sure on the complete backstory, but I think it confused a lot of people since they assumed it was the source for the whole site.
Perhaps my original statement was a bit strong. I guess I should say that our level of understanding is not proportionate to the types of conclusions we accept when it comes to food.

Compared to our understand of fluid dynamics, our understanding of nutrition is almost non-existent. Are eggs good for you? Should I drink cows milk? Do multivitamins do anything?
> nutrition science is not real science - we don't have a full understanding of how our body processes foods, etc to be able to model it properly. So it's not real science.

So, does this mean science is happening only when we have total understanding of something? What have these physicists been doing all these years!? Of course we don't know it well enough. Science is pretty simple, though: cause and effect. If someone eats only celery, they will die (lack of calories). I don't know what you're talking about when you talk about "real science".

>Variety and everything in moderation

And this is exactly the point op is making. You don't get that variety by eating only these. So the options are:

1. Have total faith that their good enough for you to eat every day (and thus trust the makers)

2. Don't eat them at all (don't trust them)

OP wants to trust scientists, not just some guys making food in their kitchen. So he chooses the latter option.

I’m confused. Why do you need to snapshot live processes? Are we concerned about startup time of Postgres or whatever? Also, why is isolation needed for e2e tests? Lastly, why is docker-in-docker a requirement, and how is that easier than qemu in qemu or qemu in docker or whatever?
Sounds like an opportunity to exploit for faster Internet speeds. Work out how they detect it and always have it thinking you are running a speed test.

High inflation usually goes hand-in-hand with some degree of corruption that immensely benefits the connected and powerful.

In Venezuela the government implemented exchange rates controls which were much more favorable then market based rates. Those with privilege and connections could purchase dollars at the official rate and then sell them at market rates at 10x what they paid for them. By this method an immense measure of the nations wealth could be expropriated.

Commodities can be siphoned from producers with price controls and then liquidated at market rates. Eventually asset owners can be forced to sell when they can’t produce what is demanded at below market prices.

Those that are close to decision makers can front run markets as the everything degenerates into a command economy.

While not all inflation is theft inflation can facilitate theft on an epic scale. At some point all economic and political power shifts to those that benefit from inflation and it becomes politically impossible to “fix” inflation as power derived from it.

This further strengthens my belief that Glicko 1 is much more preferable to Glicko 2. It's simpler (no volatility parameter), nearly as predictive (if not just as predictive), and it wasn't specifically designed for a monthly chess schedule, so it fits online games much more easily.
