It's worth noting that even among debate activities with very similar (even identical) styles, things sometimes "don't transfer well".

Knowing and understanding the nuances of the the judging pool and the competition are just as important as anything else, so teams that "transfer" between activities are always at a bit of a structural disadvantage. Especially at the elite level where the differences in raw ability and background knowledge start to become imperceptible.

This is often referred to as "spewing." It is common for contestants to ask a judge about the judge's preferences before they actually begin the debate. Some will specifically ask about the judge's attitude regarding spewing.

It is also very common for debates to be judged by people who are very inexperienced in debate. A single weekend tournament can involve hundreds of rounds of debate, many dozens happening simultaneously. So a tournament can require several dozen judges. These judges are often volunteers recruited by the hosting school. They could be parents, teachers, janitors, the lunch lady, bus drivers, you name it. In such situations, the judges might get a 5 minute overview of what they are supposed to know, then they are handed a ballot that is "self-explanatory" (not).

If you spew to a judge like that, their eyes will glaze over and they will mark you down. But even if they don't, spewing won't help you because the judges don't know how to "flow" a debate to track all the arguments made, countered, etc. And they don't know they are supposed to reward non-rebutted arguments anyway.

So, spewing is really only a valuable technique when you are in front of a judge you know to be competent. This is a minority of all debates. So you have to be prepared to go at a normal speed, which requires a completely different strategy. And you will use those strategies so much more often that they become your bread and butter.

Unless you play on the national circuit. Then you can expect sharp judges.
"Yet" is key. You can't say the RPi is the most open platform if it's predicated on some future condition.

That said, I shouldn't be so critical. The state of free graphics drivers on ARM SBCs is pretty abysmal and any improvement is a good thing. Mostly I object to the assertion "RPi is a free and open platform," but rereading your original post you didn't actually say that. Perhaps we should say "RPi is one of the least-closed platforms." It will be great to see the FOSS VC4 drivers mainlined into the Linux kernel.

> Managing multiple vehicles may end up being more cognitively challenging than driving a single truck, reducing the pool of available workers and driving up salaries

Tangential to this point: If this mode of truck operation becomes prevalent, I could potentially see a path where warehouses/loading docks get employees certified (a la forklift truck certifications) to operate the truck on premises to handle the "last mile" (i.e. on-site) operations. Now you've completely decimated the number of trucker jobs.

Chrome does a good job of notifying you when an extension needs new permissions, like if it's been hacked to keylog you on every page or something.

Of course, most users have fatigue for these sorts of dialogues and just hit accept (I have done the same in a lot of cases).

I also like Extension Update Notifier

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nlldbplhbaopldicmc...

Which pops up a toast notification whenever your extensions get updated. At least then it's not a silent upgrade and you can investigate if you wish.
No worries, I didn't exactly take it that way; I too meant it as you do. I.e the most competitive high school speech competitors don't compete in high school worlds competitions!

The most competitive ones, to start with, wouldn't blindly follow an LD style regardless in front of a judge pool and format which naturally abhors it and favors collaborativeness, wit, etc.

And yup, it is a bit more like this imaginary scenario: past high school, there is no more gridiron football (irrelevant sidenote: this does seem likely to happen given the CTE rates amongst players who don't proceed past high school) and so the next generation's Odell Beckhams will move to England after high school to become Premiership players. Which actually is a fascinating thought experiment too...

Yes, the tendency of focus on easy to measure metrics instead of what you actual care about is a whole other discussion of interesting craziness.

But isn't that orthogonal to this discussion? There are better metrics, but they still have the same large scale attention economy, filter bubble, junk food media effects as "engagement" does. "actual clicks on ads" is conversion rate x ad views and ad views is a function of engagement.

I don't see how more accurate measurements would positively affect the way content is written, presented and optimized. If anything wouldn't it just get worse?

> Now it is the chance for libraries and citizens who have been reticent to scan works beyond 1923, to push forward to 1941, and the Internet Archive will host them.

If individuals have private scans of rare books (1923 - 1941), how should these scans be delivered to Internet Archive for hosting?

Does "not being sold" mean out of print? Used, out-of-print books may still be sold. In fact, that's sometimes the only way to find a (possibly very expensive) copy for scanning and preservation.

I'm not quite understanding your point. They're just contracting exclusively with wind farms and solar energy. Is there a point I'm not seeing here? Sure, you might be burning non-renewable sources for your dev offices, but they have no control over that.
Awesome! Just installed. I saw in the privacy policy that you only collect domains, not full urls. Do you also only collect/store domains of sites we're opting into track, or do you store all visited domains?
It's a capacity issue - you wouldn't 'find somebody who ticked all the boxes, but didn't have a degree' in the first place, because their resume would simply not make it into the interview pile.

Do you have any specific evidence that the NSA is directly involved in pushing implementation of IME for the purposes of espionage? That's an extraordinary claim; the mere existence of the NSA isn't sufficient evidence that it's true.

Yes, the NSA exists. Yes, it's their job to spy on people. And yes, it's perfectly valid to include mass surveillance in your threat model. But these constant, uncorroborated claims that the NSA boogeyman is hiding behind every rock and tree are starting to become quite tiresome.

I believe the problem is right here:

"This is a high stakes and risk endeavor that not only is OPs dream, but it's a dream he's stapled his name to"

It wasn't his dream, bot in reality. If it was, he would have actually researched. Then he would have actually worked in the industry.

Instead he thought throwing money at a problem would make it work. Not in this industry. You can't fake running a restaurant, (at least I have never seen it, I'd love to be proved wrong!), and if you don't have the experience, well, guess what? You're shit out of luck and there is no way you can do it profitably.
iirc it even has Steam integration that he had to implement from scratch. :)

Despite their age, many of these books are still extremely readable even by young readers. I thumbed through Frog: the horse that couldn’t be tamed and really enjoyed it. The hand-drawn pictures in the book are also very readable and cool in a retro way. Makes me sad about the current quality of our children’s literature.
I wish this was extended to all stuff under copyright - I think this could do great things in eliminating the abandoned works problem (in my opinion the largest issue of our current copyright regime).
A whole lot of people's standards for "suspicious dress and behavior" basically boil down to "wearing a hoodie while black." See Treyvon Martin, who was literally murdered for walking down the street, and his killer acquitted based on nothing but his own testimony. So when people start talking about black men being "suspicious" without further explanation, the rest of are inclined to be skeptical.

And, really, "dressing suspiciously" is often bullshit no matter who's involved. As a white kid I got hassled for wearing a trenchcoat, and that was just as stupid as anything else. Adding race into it only makes it worse.

> Does visualizing time also fall under a number form phenomenon?

I think it depends on how it's visualized. Number forms are idiosyncratic two-dimensional visualizations of any numerical sequence. If the visualization is three-dimensional, it's spatial sequence synesthesia, which is a different phenomenon.

For me, months of the year are something like a sine wave, which is still a number form. The peak is in June, and the trough is in December.

Edit: According to Wikipedia, spatio-temporal synesthesia is also a thing. I think that's what you have.

The management engine is the little computer that is used to get the big computer running.

Back when I was a kid, after hiking to school in 4 feet of snow uphill with no shoes, if I were building a PC or adding a new card, I would spend a bunch of time flipping little DIP switches to set things like addresses and assign IRQs. I'd reboot and my Gravis Gamepad controller would work, but the SoundBlaster wouldn't. So I'd power down, flip some switches and try again until I could get everything working.

Those switches went away, but the underlying issues remained. The new method was some firmware that did a bunch of pre-boot configuration. That was refined over the years and now today there's an entire computer running it's own OS that manages all this stuff. It works amazingly well.

However, once the machine is up and running, most people (especially consumers) have no need for it after that. It would be nice if it just powered down and waited for the next reboot. However, a little hidden computer was too useful to be ignored and it's used for a bunch of things including DRM (it can have secure-enclave-like functionality) and remote management. I'm not sure we have an exhaustive list of what it can do.
Global Startup Challenge: Fin-Tech Series
Yes indeed. I'm always a little anxious when an installer (or something) prompts me for an administrator password, and some secure channel indicating that it's really the OS that's asking for it would help to assuage my fears.
I want to add to this, I also know exactly who you're talking about. Also the history of his club and how it was shut down are certainly interesting! Oh so deafening even..
I did policy debate for 4 years in high school and also judged for quite a few years after I graduated. At the time I would say there were a mix of what we would have just called 'speed debate' at the time and 'traditional' style.

There was a great deal of showmanship involved which could be really fun, and we frequently would change strategies depending on who we were debating. This was also prior to laptop and mobile computing so there was a lot of mileage you could gain from wheeling in a bunch of huge evidence cases (which might have just had your lunch in them) or alternately just a small box of note cards.

I can also remember the giddy excitement of cracking open a new issue of "Congressional Record" and looking for evidence.

I have say it was one of the most valuable experiences I had in education. Sincerely and passionately arguing for a policy and an hour later doing the reverse gives you insight into how opinion is shaped and frankly manipulated.

I had completely forgotten flowing! If you as a judge wanted to signal you had experience in policy debate, all you had to do is show up with a yellow legal pad and turn it sideways on your desk and say nothing else. This was basically a green light to the debate teams to 'bring the speed and spread'.

Either way, in my opinion, he just screwed himself from day one.

If the machine has two network interfaces, the management engine will only be active on one of them (always the lower numbered interface). If you don't need both, disable NIC #1 and only use NIC #2.

You will get the benefits of the management engine without any external exposure.
This advice is incredibly tone-deaf. If you're a professional in America, you're one accusation away from a ruined career unless you're someone who can get away with it.

People who decline meetings or are reluctant to engage women are the people who are afraid of false accusations and probably shouldn't have to be - if the thought of a professional meeting makes you anxious, how much of a predator can you really be?

These people don't need advice that's tantamount to 'this is how you talk to people' - they obviously know that. They need advice on how to avoid people who might make false accusations, they need advice on how to keep out of trouble. They need ways to derisk interactions and treating people like the rock only addresses one risk factor.

The difference is Class A is a complete custom body, Class C is a cutaway where the cab is built by the chassis maker but the house body is not like yours. Class B is basically a van body on the outside.

There are variations, Super C's, B plus and so on.
