Time to get on the ball and upgrade to Latin-1.

The closest previous work would rather be Facebook BOLT I believe: https://github.com/facebookincubator/BOLT
I think a big thing that isn't being said is that the government is also attempting to manage civil unrest. There is an old saying about there being a gun behind every blade of grass in this country. We have a very different culture and risk situation than a place like China where they literally welded people's doors shut and let them starve to death.

I think they know certain things need to be done, but they have to also manage expectations and make enough of the population/media/state govt be "demanding" these enforced lock downs before it is really feasible.

Lastly, I think most companies are doing the right thing. 3M is cranking out industrial N95 masks as fast as they can since the govt dropped liability protection (since they are not rated for medical use). GM and others have offered to make ventilators. The defense production act only needs to be invoked if factories/suppliers are not doing the right thing. The specifics of the invocation haven't been announced yet, but I suspect one or more companies started misbehaving, and that resulted in invoking the act.
What are the shortfalls of tenant rights in your area? and how would you answer the previous question in a world with "ideal" tenant rights?
Once the liquid electrolyte was injected into the batteries and the missile powered up at launch time, it was only going to be operating for 30 to 40 minutes. So it didn't need a lot of cooling capacity.
People should be really careful before they jump to a VPN provider. The amount of data transmitted over the connection and exposed to the VPN as an intermediary is grossly underestimated. The only real explanation for so many iffy VPN providers popping up over the last few years is that they're mining the data for something, whether its selling analytics, setting up a honeypot, manipulating traffic/piggybacking on VPN users as a botnet (cf. Hola), or whatever.

That said, if you really need a third-party VPN, FoxyProxy's branded VPN service available through https://getfoxyproxy.org is probably pretty good odds. I've never used personally so I can't vouch all the way, but it's supporting an open-source project by someone who seems to really care about his users and has put more than a decade into supporting a great extension, so that puts it far ahead of most of 'em from the get-go.
There are places that demand your high school and/or college diplomas even if it's been 30 years. There are places that give programmers tests with flow charts. At some stage of maturity you realize there's no point in worrying about pleasing everybody, because many of them are unreasonable and you'll never get the chance anyway.

Whenever there are unreasonable rules and you really do want to get around them, all you have to do is find a way to demonstrate your talent sufficiently that people will bend them for you.
I havent read anything that could be convincing that it has gone up (no new paradigms, no new architectures, no novel technology just endless horizontal scaling). So , statistically it can only have gone down
Exciting times indeed! I just replied to your email.
https://infinit.io/faq

> How can Infinit be free and unlimited? And will it stay free?

>> Infinit has the unique advantage of being built on a peer-to-peer technology, which connects two computers without using an intermediary. As a result, the vast majority of files sent on Infinit are not stored on a server (the main cost to file transfer and file sharing companies).

> What happens if I send to someone who is offline?

>> Your file will be encrypted on your computer and uploaded to the cloud. When your recipient comes online, they will first download all of the parts of the file from the cloud before connecting directly to your computer to finish the transfer if there are any remaining parts.

> How secure are links?

>> Files shared with links are not encrypted and are neither private nor public. When you generate a link to a file, you are the only person with the URL. Anyone to whom you share the URL can access the download page for that file.

So, in answer to your question, it sounds like a mix. Links are likely stored in their servers and then made available, sharing files is likely pure p2p and only stored on your device.

Nothing is stopping you from sharing from device to device though - although I don't think this is a syncing solution, but more of a sharing solution.

Still though, I would be interested to hear more about the architecture behind it.
That has also probably helped police track them and stay on top of the problem.
The answer is always a boxfan taped to whatever filter you want to use.
You can do either! We offer a bunch of automation features directly through the Web App but people have also used the SDK to write their own algorithms. We have seen a lot of different annotation processes now so we can often direct people on the best flow to automate their labeling.
not for me...
Personally, I found the list in general interesting—I wasn’t aware that a lot of these were originally trademarks. Escalator, flip phone, hovercraft; I just assumed that these were the basic term for those things. Learning that they weren’t is interesting in its own right.
One more thing that has no solution now but I'm sure Tesla will not fix it at all or will charge a lot for it:

White interior and black seatbelts. Despite Musks's promises how durable white interior is, seatbelts they use are dyed with I don't know what and they mar the seats. It's permanently baked in and cannot be removed.. Tesla responded long time ago that they are looking for solution, but whatever they will change will definitely not apply to any existing (screwed-up) white interior owners.
I think people can be good programmers and poor software architects at the same time. Sounds like that's what has happened in this case: brilliant abstractions that are misused and result in a buggy product and less productive team.
This looks great! Combining this with Nim would be extremely powerful. Is it a matter of changing compilers like musl or would some tweaks need to be done for it to work with Nim?
I'm afraid you missed the joke here =)
You single-handedly gave up 25 years of the entire population's wage increases???
This assumes writing crypto code is the most common use case for random numbers.

How often do you write crypto code?

vs

How often do people use random numbers + threshold for A/B tests? How often do game developers use random numbers for gameplay variety? How often is random used for animation variety? Do these use cases need the overhead of a cryptography RNG?

A former employer had the same issue as in the article - the security team implemented an automated vulnerability scanner in our github enterprise instance, and it spammed comments and marked a review as requiring changes if it edited any merge request which touched a file which used java.util.Random. It lasted a day before the security team was made turn it off as on our team (and many others), literally 0 uses of random numbers were those requiring a secure random.
Not all but you would be enlarging the pool of potentials that currently go into other fields for financial and status reasons.

It's false for the rich, but true for the upper middle class. People making $150k pay a much higher average tax rate than those making $25k.
A screenshot or demo on the page would be very valuable, so I know what's going to happen before I install!
Not really, the real question is at the end of article: "There's just one question: Do we love our Seattle process too much?" There is a choice - you can have process, permits, etc or you can have fast connections. The problem is that we pretend that you can have both, or that there is no cost to the Seattle process.
The author is right to doubt his statements about accountants. I know 10x accountants. They exist mostly because the bar for "competence" at the big four accounting firms is extremely low. This results in incredible variation among accountants.
But, it's dead simple to use an IDE. Plus the code you debug within the IDE is the same as the production code.
It allows to use breakpoints, and watch vars.
There are a bunch of free IDEs, what don't you like about using one?
i fasted for 14 days on spirulina tablets and water as an office bet to prove its effectiveness and still take it everyday. every now and then i do 3-5 day fast to cleanse my body, but technically i'm still eating food. i have yet to do any blood tests to prove its effectiveness besides my own experiments and what i've read. i also don't recommend people doing a fast for 14 days...maybe 3-5 days at first.

after the first few days without eating normal/cooked food it became easier per say, as cravings went down and your body goes into fast mode, even when consuming raw spirulina. i found weekends to be tough as you tend to go out more, and ads are everywhere for food.

also, after the second day you really start to shed water weight and your caloric intake dips into the negatives, as spirulina has about 10 calories per serving which is about 3g. i took an average about 30-60 tablets a day, roughly 2/3g (4-6 tabs) per doze. you drink a lot of water (which you should be doing anyway) m-f was easier for me as you're busy with work when compared to the weekends.

it was asked, how will we know if i'm honest and actually don't eat? we decided on the honor system and we did the math, loosely. in 14 days i should lose about 14lbs, at 1 pound /day, so i did a weigh in before and after. on the last day i weighed in and i did lose about a pound a day with a total of 14.6 lbs lost and i felt..good?/fine, lost weight, had new perspective at starvation, and food itself. you still should eat more than spirulina, which i did at 9pm that monday...green apples and raw chocolate bars were my choices :)

spirulina (cyanobacteria) gives you insane amounts of energy and contains a boat load of nutrients (rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene), B1, B2, B3, B6, E, and K). it also converts sunlight to protein more efficiently than any other living thing. it has the highest content of protein of any other food source around roughly (65-71%). its ancient food, and one of the important foods of the future. it along with other raw foods (fruits/veggies) IMHO is better for you than any other human made sludge/supplements. you can't beat real food and nature.
>i.e. blood atonement for sins of the world

That was never a christian belief to begin with.

The atonement was (supposedly) because of God's own incarnation as Christ, our of love, not because of some blood offering to God (i.e. the crucifixion, which was not even meant as such, anyway).
True, and it is not like Las Vegas, it is like buying a used car which is a gamble exactly to the degree there is an information deferential. The less disclosure to the unwary, the more opportunity for disaster.

The new SEC rule affects disclosure and allows more ill-informed investments.

Also if you gamble in Las Vegas it doesn't destroy the tech industry as a side effect like a bubble will.
This was around the Android 2.1 days; I considered switching to OpenGL but I think I was deterred by inconsistent device support at the time and thought the Java option was less of a headache.

I'd be very interested in more details about the solution you mentioned!
You can avoid most major relationship mistakes if you actually care about your partner, as in, as an end-in-themselves rather than as a way to get laid. Unfortunately, this is the part most people miss.

I guess a lot of people don't realize how dumb their selfishness really is.

Oh well.
Easy to implement?

This is just my theory: I think that GFW is currently entering its next stage, which probably includes MITM attack to TLS traffic and some attack specific to websites outside China. I suppose that since everything now is in a "research" stage, they are just trying to see if the technique works and how much it could go.

Disclaimer: I was an user inside China and being blocked from the real Internet. So please take my words with a grain of salt.
> why is so much of the document censored?

The direct reason is that the responding agency, the FCC, asked the manufacturer and an undisclosed government agency what should be censored.
Landing page spells "Exmaple". Other than that looks good, expecting more customization options as this gets developed!
maybe the point is to scare people into preemptively blocking Chinese IPs so the Chinese gov doesn't have to swat flies with the Great Firewall. it's good marketing too: "look at all those foreigners who refuse to let us access the free internet!" "anti-Chinese prejudice!" etc etc
Safety procedures in airplanes are generally not based on "passengers are going to notice and react". If you have a specific role for some passengers, like subduing disruptive individuals or opening and operating an emergency exit, the passengers are informed and qualified for the job. For instance, if you sit on an exit row, you need to be physically agile enough, and the crew instructs you to learn how to operate the door.

Unfortunately in 2021, lifting people out of poverty still always implies increased carbon emissions (historically that's how rich countries got to where they are). After the death of colonialism, poor countries also naturally want to have the same luxuries rich countries already enjoy. But now we realize that with our current scientific advancements these luxurious lifestyles are not sustainable for such a large global population.

What you said is 100% right, just the tone was a bit harsh. Since this site mostly has people from rich countries who refuse to learn history and accept any blame, you will be downvoted.
I tried Gumroad for about a year and I really loved it but unfortunately I was forced to move to Paddle due to the lack of some core payment features (eg. localized pricing, VAT-inclusive price, wire withdrawals, ability to change subscription plans for an user). I was told that although those features are planned, it will take a really long time before they are implemented, which makes sense considering the fact that Gumroad seems to be in a maintenence-only mode.
Oodle is very expensive though.
that was lying to the FBI actually
Videos can be used for a lot of different things. You can animate textures, obviously, but you can also animate things like normal maps to get really interesting effects. I recently read an article that described how one of the more recent Assassin's Creed games used animated normal maps to make rainfall patterns on the ground.
fetchmail can run as a daemon and fetch from imap with IDLE. As far as I can tell, mbsync doesn't do this.

I haven't found a single other program that does this well; there are tools to sync entire directory trees that can idle, but they don't seem to support "download everything and delete it" the way fetchmail does.

Many e-mail services throttle new connections, so it's not the difference between getting your mail now and 1 minute from now, it's the difference between getting your mail now and 5-10 minutes from now.

[edit]

Another thing keeping me on fetchmail; I have all my filters setup with maildrop. Most other programs want to deliver to a local folder directly. Maybe there's a way around this?
For example: I have 21 expenses in Simple. They're as small as "Spotify: $16.25/mo" and "1Password: $60/year". As large as mortgage, kid stuff, groceries, annual car registration, car insurance, etc. Plus about 8 savings goals.
> Large nuclear military ships likely have some port restrictions anyway.

The restrictions are more to do with the size of the ship, not it's propulsion mechanism.

Routinely, US Submarines and Aircraft Carriers (all powered by nuclear reactors) sail into normal civilian ports around the world for various reasons.
They're likely just band-aid patching the exact hole they use to get in, rather than securing the whole system.
It sounds just like it. All I remember from that affair is learning the phrase, 'That's not even wrong'.
If you're on osX there's no "setup a ruby system" you type a one line command and then you can use "show". You might have to use the full path to `show` to get it to execute depending on how it installed. You don't need to know anything about ruby -- I've never touched ruby and I was up and running in less then 60 seconds.
OS Features: Bigmem support has been missing. This seems to be about ready for prime time. Really good SMP, which just gets more irritating as more cores become commonplace. Really good threading, which hampers porting and/or running some ported software on OpenBSD.

Hardware support: mostly cards from various vendors who won't release open specs. Like Adaptec, nVidia, et al. For Linux you get vendor blob drivers or quote open source unquote drivers written under NDA in which the actual functionality is obscured. Or various things on laptops don't work, or whatever. These limitations are not much problem for me, but they bother some people. If I build a server I spec it out with compatible hardware. No big deal.

For many applications none of the above matters, or matters a lot less than the benefits gained. I like OpenBSD and use it for servers and workstations. OpenBSD has pros and cons, like any OS. For my usage, the pros are a long list and the cons don't matter much. But if I were tasked with building a processing farm with tons of cores and memory to run a massively threaded crunching program then I'd pick something else. But I'd still keep the farm walled off behind OpenBSD.
I don't know. If this kind of Foo situation is analogous to racial discrimination in your mind, perhaps you haven't studied many situations of actual discrimination. There's no need for hypothetical situations, we have innumerable actual examples to choose from.
I came to complain about the poor precision -- thanks!
Apparently it only works on unencrypted backups. Here's what I did to make it work:
1. quit itunes
2. go to the directory, temporarily rename the random-string directory that has your encrypted iPhone backup (e.g. add zzz to the beginning of the folder name)
BE CAREFUL: make sure you can change it back
3. open itunes and deselect "encrypt iphone backup"
4. let it make an unencrypted backup. you'll then be able to use the iPhoneTracker program
5. when you're done playing, go back to itunes and reselect encryption
6. quit itunes
7. go back to the backup directory and delete the newly created, unencrypted random-strings folder
8. rename the old folder (from step 2) back to its original name
Well even the most lenient interpretation of the old testament leads one to believe that God is angry and vengeful, especially if not respected. I think the idea that God only exists if he's a nice guy is a bit of a strawman argument promulgated by atheists.
To crib an idea I saw a few days back on hn: if something doesn't work in absolutist terms, perhaps it shouldn't be expressed in absolutist terms.
Set up a passcode, now they can't access the data on your phone unless they have the passcode, or your iTunes plist file ...
I asked this question to a MD from Techstars, their response was the following:

1) Keep the blood pumping - Ensure you have enough money in the bank to sustain the business as you grow or until you raise.

2) Attract top talent - Create a story so that you attract top employees who are willing to make your business succeed.

3) Shared Vision - Make sure each employee knows the overall objectives of the company so that they can execute without your direct oversight.

Totally, but its such a grey line. If you posted some pictures and certain groups use it as their "personal materials" privately (without sharing), I'm not sure how we can stop that
It's unfortunately not required that they do their jobs. This is established case law - in Castle Rock vs Gonzales.
> This website just aggregates them, but there's technically a live link to these pictures.

What you see as a technicality is actually a big difference. No one on wikiFeet would have seen the pictures of the interviewer if someone hadn't posted it.

Posting something is not explicit consent to do whatever with it. Would you say the same if these pictures were appearing on a shirt for example? Or if they were used in a movie, or in a newspaper article?
It is worth to point out that one is a stock (debt) and one is a flow (GDP), and the right way of comparing them would be by taking the net present value of the flow, or comparing the cost of servicing the debt per year to GDP (so debt servicing cost climb to x percent of gdp).
its not the same situation. But Volcker acted sensibly and makes more sense now than congress or the president do.

It is clear what must be done. Or at least not as fuzzy as you suggest. We must face the music, stop playing games and start practicing sensible policies.

we should stop supporting things that have failed certainly.

And subsidizing risk is definitely one thing that doesn't work.

But we are continuing to do so, especially in the housing market. And we are doing so that nobody needs to deal with the reality of the actual value of their homes. Or the actual sad worth of the balance sheets of banks.

Instead we are asking those who acted responsibly to pay for the mess. Or rather we are borrowing like mad so we can dump it upon them later.
I don't think using a set of online lectures as your primary source of education necessarily implies that you can't supplement it with someone who can answer your questions.
The internet has a lot more specialized experts than <random school>. Ask the right IRC channel and you'll find help on most topics at most times of the day in real-time.
You're talking about writing as communication (i.e. essaying); he's talking about writing as aesthetic expression (i.e. fiction and poetry writing.)

The difference between the two is the difference between talking and singing: everyone needs to learn to talk; not everyone should attempt to get in front of a microphone (however much they enjoy doing it in the shower.)
It's not just the browser, people often want to create mobile apps today and there is no standard language that works for all platforms (you can try C# with Xamarin but it is not the native choice of all the platforms). And there is not always good, still developed, standardized UI libraries for every language. Many people starting with programming want to see something on the screen and then you need this. And there is usually some people who wan't to develop serverside web code which should be supported by the same language.
If Xamarin was open source or free I think it with C# would be a great way to start programming. For now Javascript works.
23 is. Though I am pretty rational person, I can't seem to explain why I see 23 all around. (Guessing it is some sort of psychological bias -- but the evidence from my everyday experience just baffles me).
