Why did original middle class residents leave? Because American suburbs are built unsustainably. Because maintaining or replacing infrastructure built 30 years ago and designed to last 25 years costs more (prohibitively so) than new greenfield development. Because they're moving into the city to shorten their commutes rather than further out to lengthen them.
> It seems strange to me that the European Union is allowing this. The fact that a foreign company has a backdoor in every computer running in European countries is so concerning on so many levels. Defense ministers from European countries should wake up and outlaw this.

Can't find source for this, but a few months ago I read that US (NSA, CIA) and EU (BND) agencies get the same Intel CPU WITHOUT IME, even more NSA made it a requirement for Intel that IME must be completely removed.

I develop in both. Used to like .Net better before Kotlin. Kotlin came in and converted me to Java.

But now, I'm a .net core junkie. The build tools, VS Code, C# itself. I just find it has the perfect mix of features for speedy development.

I don't dislike coding in java ever since kotlin, but even with IDEA I just prefer the .net core ecosystem overall.
Any power banks you have, too. It's an extra full charge or two, which can end up mattering a lot.

Lots of phones have battery saving modes, I know my Motorola can stretch the battery for probably 3 days or so, on the battery saver mode. Turn the display brightness way down. Every little bit helps.

If course a lot of things are more important than phones, but communication should not be neglected.

There is no solution for these suburbs: they aren't economically sustainable

If the outer suburbs manage all the services you mention with an even lower density then of course the inner ring suburbs could do the same and should in fact do better. This is not an insurmountable obstacle.

However, OP doesn't diagnose the failure and therefore has no answer other than having the cities throw money at these suburbs.

I would LOVE them to expand and make, say, clothing and hair gel with that same intelligent, no-nonsense craftsmanship approach. Not to mention operating systems and search engines. For now I'll dream of Directory Opus for Linux and not even get that.

For some reason every week I get like 2-5 songs with the same beat, but a bit remixed or covered by someone else. It's trying way too hard to recommend similar songs sometimes.
Does it still use a ridiculously low number of iterations of a KDF that is neither time- nor memory-hard for deriving symmetric keys from passphrases?
It occurred to me, though, that this is wide open to hackery.

Find a popular song that is likely to be on a lot of people's playlists. Make a new song that is a close match to it for raw audio modelling. Launch on Spotify.

Yeah you'll probably only get one or two plays per user, but spread over a large number of users (who all listen to the whole Discover playlist every Monday, like I do) it's still significant traffic.

Or have I got this wrong?

I played a variant of this which was quite fun for 3+ if a little more complicated...

An animal/mineral/vegetable is written on a card for every player but one who gets a blank card. For a couple of rounds you each draw a line before finally voting on who you think doesn't know what you're drawing. The main group is trying to demonstrate to everyone else that they know what the item is (and so drawings become very abstract) without making it obvious to the hidden traitor.

>“Didn’t I” by Darondo seems to be a good example of this. A fantastic, forgotten soul song (and from the Bay Area!) that was assumed to be a recognition of my friend’s unique taste in his car... until the other four people inside revealed they’d all had it in the last two weeks, too.

It could be popularized by DJs who are playing it, e.g. Four Tet, whose personal playlist on Spotify now has close to 39 thousand followers.

At least in that case specifically, I doubt it's due to distribution rights. There are no new releases indicated on Discogs, which seems likely if someone new acquired them.
That looks so incredibly wrong.
Whether protests work, or do not work, in one instance can not be used as a blind support or condemnation of protest in general. What ultimately matters is the message, the means, and most importantly - the public response. For instance I think the Occupy protests did a phenomenal job here of spreading their message. One measure of their success might be this [1] Google trends on "the 1%" result. As typical there was a brief spike of interest but even once the protests had ended, they seem to have left a clear and growing impression on society. There's always a question of whether they were a cause of this change, or an effect of an already existent change in society but in either case I think it's some evidence of success.

So back to this specific protest and type of protest, what are the goals of these protests? What change do they hope to effect? What exactly are they protesting? These protests have become incredibly divisive even among the very demographic that they presumably are seeking to unite and inform. Personally to me liberalism has always meant emphasizing the value of free speech -- including speech I vehemently disagree with, never resorting to violence or intimidation to convey a message, and an understanding that though democracy will on occasion produce undesirable results, it is far superior to the alternative. Somebody recently linked Russell Bertrand's 'Ten Commandments of Critical Thinking and Democratic Decency' [2] which I think falls very much in line with my worldview. Nonetheless, the democratic party seems to be moving in way such that views as these are no longer within the zeitgeist. Perhaps, again, the protests are an effect and not a cause -- but I'd certainly be interested to hear how you see them being productive and valuable.

I'm afraid it is so extreme that I feel lots of my discover weekly recommendations are based on solely of what I listened on discover weekly last week.

Which would be quite bad, but that is how it often feels.
"Heads Bodies & Legs" is great fun, especially if the other person is similarly puerile.

Intel
ME is used as a component of DRM (see PAVP), which is what I was
referring to. But this is quite an odd argument, by that definition your
CPU would be a circumvention measure. And while you can use a CPU to
circumvent DRM, just having a CPU isn't enough.

Also, a normal user of a computer cannot do whatever they like with
Intel ME, so its the least useful circumvention measure I've ever heard
of. GDB is infinitely better.

Not to mention that most DRM depends on the encryption being done outside of the computer's CPU. HDMI's DRM relies on the local computer not being aware of the contents of the stream and the monitor itself does the decryption with burned-in keys.

Stuff a rag partway down the drain pipe, and fill to the top with expanding PU foam (also known as spray foam). It's used in construction to fill gaps, such as between door frames and walls.

Is it ideal? No. Is it a pain in the ass to remove? Yeah, kinda.

But it expands and hardens to a watertight closed-cell foam plug, which is what you want. If you have a hardware store nearby, it's relatively inexpensive.

Again, your are making the same mistake. Civil disobedience is fine because no one should be forced to do something. Blocking a road is not civil disobedience.

People can protest by not showing up on stores, or maybe not paying taxes, or withdrawing their savings from their accounts. But blocking a road? That's annoying and endangering your fellow citizens and not the government.
In case you didn't know, Spotify categorizes music into genres behind the scenes. You can use this site to find out what genres your favorite artists are categorized as: http://everynoise.com/engenremap.html

You can use this information to then check out Spotify's auto-generated playlists for each genre. They have at least three types for each one: "The Sound of <genre>", containing definitive representation of the genre, "The Pulse of <genre>", containing songs that fans of the genre listen to now, and "The Edge of <genre>", with unpopular songs (not necessarily of the same genre) that fans of the genre listen to.

This has been a great way for me to find new music that I like, especially "The Pulse". I even created a small script that takes a spotify playlist as input, parses all the artists, converts to genres, and creates a new playlist with "recommendations" based on the Pulse playlists, with each genre represented based on its percentage in the initial playlist.

Basically, I never use Discover Weekly, because I know it will eventually converge just like all my Pandora stations that cycle through the same 20 songs after a few months.
I used to listen exclusively to Discover Weekly for a while. One week a finish rap song made it to the list, and I skipped past it every time it came on. Next week there was 2 finish rap songs. Then 5. Eventually half of my discovery list was finish rap, something I have no interest of. Canceled my subscription shortly after. Their algorithms are feeding themselves. I wish they had a dislike button so I could at least give them some sense of direction.

The fines you are probably thinking of are mostly antitrust law based. I don't see grounds for making this issue an antitrust case - at least as far as I can see, nobody else says so either.

You are also talking about defense politics, i.e. the military sector. That and the secret service sector is not covered at all by EU legislation and EU executive.

Also, I don't see why after looking at interests banning Intel from doing so would be advisable. Most relevant EU countries have close cooperation with the US in the military and secret service sectors.

That said, defence ministers usually don't outlaw things. It would be the parliaments. And EU law might actually hinder them from doing so, given that it first and foremost focuses on enforcing open competition and free flow of goods.

At least some infrastructure is reusable and you get residences closer to the city therefore much more valuable than outer suburbs which are doing better. You beat the city by offering a real backyard. There, sold.

Some people will still live farther out and others will remain in the city but you should have no trouble finding younger families happy to live there. This is not the issue.

This prompted me to recover my AOL account and backup my email, which I got when I was in 6th grade and stopped using when I went to college (a friend gave me a coveted invite for Gmail). I had to call them because I hadn't accessed the account in 10 years, and use my parents' names and the name of a pet that died 10 years ago as a security question. I was happy I got the account back but... they purged all of my data because I hadn't used it in 180 days. Quite disappointing!
You should branch out from only listening to "Discover Weekly". Use the daily mixes, make your own playlists.
A variant of that game that I've played a lot is to write a sentence, then next person draws that sentence in pictures and folds (hides) the sentence part, next person needs to verbalize the picture again and fold the previous part etc. Often the end result is hilarious.

Yes, and? When a butter thief finally stops stealing butter it's a direct admission that the butter shop security is catching them too often and beating them too hard. But there is no direct bridge from that direct admission to the direct admission of wrongdoing. You're giving them forgiveness for what they did not repent of in clear terms that make backpedaling impossible. Your call.

I have the complete opposite experience compared to you. All of my Discover Weekly and Daily Mixes are at least 75% music I like, even if I didn't know it beforehand, or only knew the artist by name.
Brick is great. It’s got some quirks, but it’s the best TUI library I’ve used.

If you’re looking to make a TUI application and want an excuse to dive headfirst into Haskell, brick is a decent place to start.

Not to mention all the potential operational problems it can cause.

At a previous job a new system was deployed to help the customer service team. I can't remember the details, but it was backed by this pretty meaty database so we could collect lots of data for later analysis. The etl processes was delayed for some reason so a couple of people were given 'temporary' access to the production db. Lo and behold, a week later the whole thing mysteriously grinds to a halt as an analyst left some huge query running in the background that locked up all the important tables until an admin can in and kicked them off.

Letting people run arbitrary workloads on a system you want to be stable is a bad idea.
Spotify seems to mostly stick with the ~5 or so most popular song by a particular artist, so I am seeing some repetition. I don't mind, since I like most of those songs, but you should really take them as artist recommendations, and explore their other songs.

I've found, that if you put in more effort into discovering music yourself, Spotify's recommendations improve.
