I see a downside to this for everyone else; I'm not faulting you because it may have been this way before you got your land...

...but now that you (and everyone else) owns that land - no one else (unless you let them, or there's some kind of government-mandated form of easement to allow for it) can use that land: They can't hunt on it, they can't fish on it, they can't go off-roading on it - they can't even hike on it and enjoy nature.

So in other words, it's a classic case of "I've got mine..."

I don't blame you for this - if I had the wherewithal I'd do the same. Heck, as it is (for my budget), my wife and I have been talking about moving out of the city and on to a plot of land (much smaller - even with the cheapest land we couldn't afford 3200 acres - not to mention any upkeep or whatnot, nor taxes). Not that we dislike our neighbors or anything, we're just getting to a point not liking the bustle of the city as much. Our greater concern is more of "how long will it take to reach a hospital for an emergency" (well, that and high-speed internet access - but even that is becoming both less of an issue, as well as something I am beginning to wonder if it might be better to be without).

But more and more, these spaces which used to be public property are becoming private, and rarely do the owners (whether individuals or corporations) allow for any others to set foot on the property, at least legally. I guess, though, that this isn't anything new.
Since their mentioned that Gear VR and Oculus Go apps are binary compatible, I guess their definition of standalone is this one is work like GearVR + Samsung Galaxy Phone Built-in.

And how would you enforce that? What would prevent anyone with access to the code from building it and using it? I don't see any way except maybe stripping the code of significant parts
Usually, you just declare the module interface separately from the implementation. I don't recall there being any to "work around" e.g. declaring mutually recursive types in two different modules[1]. (And I don't think that's in any way sane, FWIW.)

[1] Of course you can parametrize one of the modules with a signature declared elsewhere and the other module implement that signature, but that's really just regular old dependency-breaking, so I'm not sure that counts.
Earlier iterations are buggier and have poorer dev tools. So the God intelligence has more need to smite and command the AIs within the game.

After a while the bugs are ironed out, so God can settle back and gently tweak parameters at a distance.

No idea then, sorry. The only time the git module has failed with me is due to me fucking up my SSH settings in a convoluted environment (SSH Agent on windows workstation -> ansible controller on vagrant ubuntu box -> remote AWS bastion -> repo host with a very restrictive sshd config).

In that case, running ansible verbosely gave enough info to point me in the direction of fixing what was wrong with my ssh setup (can't remember now what it was).
The lesson here, clearly, is: tall poppies get mowed. It is known. :-/
Right. I've noticed in multiple areas of science that often the pioneers of some technique/theory knew how to do it properly, but lacked the right computational, or other, technology, and had to fudge it in some way they were clear about, but others aren't. People then persist with that unsatisfactory approach, or data produced with it, long after they shouldn't. Reading the original work is definitely worth risking a little wasted time.

More specific detail regarding this was revealed today[0]:

> Wednesday's report, citing unnamed current and former US officials, said the help came in the form of modifications made to the Kaspersky antivirus software that's used by more than 400 million people around the world. Normally, the programs scan computer files for malware. "But in an adjustment to its normal operations that the officials say could only have been made with the company's knowledge, the program searched for terms as broad as 'top secret,' which may be written on classified government documents, as well as the classified code names of US government programs, these people said."

It comes down to a multiplier effect. If you have no privilege, your multiplier is 0 or inconsequentially small as a risk multiplier for the amount of risk you can feasibly take.

No surprise that there are better options than Audacity, but for those that don't already have the Adobe subscription, Audition is going to be a bit expensive.

Less famine, much more war. Population densities don't stay down on their own -- people can breed quite rapidly in good conditions. What happens is that population rises to the point where there is no longer enough food for everyone, and then territorial clashes start happening, until someone identifies a weak neighbor tribe and slaughters them. So everything is better until that week you're fighting for your life, and the life of everyone you know and love.

This is exactly how chimpanzees live today, and matches well with most of the archaeological remains we have of primordial hunter-gatherers. Our forebears lived very violent lives.
i'm pretty excited about flatpak et al, because gnu/linux will finally get application sandboxing that is reasonably easy to enforce. the dynamic lib bullshit that the community got hooked has been a huge impediment to implementing good application-level security on the linux desktop imo

not so much the fact that they are using dynamic libraries, but the foolish idea that you should keep all of your applications and libraries in a single namespace in a messy pile. plan 9 showed y'all the way, but you don't listen, b/c y'all are obstinate.
I mean its not unheard of for a company that size to build out a hardware lab on site in what over office space they're leasing. My previous employer did that through 3 office moves (+10 racks of test gear).
For a lot of companies, it's a fast track to becoming a real estate holding company that happens to have an operating business attached to it. You want to focus your business operations on the kind of business you want to be - it's why it's very dangerous for a SaaS business to have a couple really big customers that get whatever features they want written. You wind up as a consulting shop, not a SaaS business.

Target is a good example of this. It's a $32B company that owns $24B of real estate.
I'm scared, have you even seen plants vs. zombies? Hoping Open AI takes a serious look at this one. [Levity -> Serious]: Imagine that this was applied to animals or even humans?
So this is neat. I disagree with a good bit of it, though:

- I wouldn't go with a Yeti (which, despite all the idiotic memes around it, is fine for a starting microphone). A condenser mic is generally going to be more touchy and more susceptible to room noise issues, which you'd probably rather avoid. Instead I'd go with something like the AT2005USB[1]; its DAC is fine and it provides an XLR output as well (and you can use both, which I do for some tasks such as voice comms in games plus routing audio to my mixer). Knox also makes a good knockoff[2] with similar characteristics.

- Audition is a good call, especially at $20/month, but IMO (and this is all totally subjective, don't take my word for it) Logic Pro X is my jam. However, these days, live-shows-to-podcast seem to really taking off, particularly on Twitch; to that end, you're probably going to be mixing in either OBS/Xsplit/vMix (eww) or mixing in your audio app and routing to the video compositor, so be ready for that.

- Zencaster, Skype Call Recording, etc. are all fine, but they all have one really big drawback: they're most useful for offline shows. The work required for Skype/VOIP guests in online shows, unless you're happy letting Skype mix the voices for you (and you shouldn't), is nontrivial. I'd try very, very hard to stick with in-person podcasts with local people until you can really hack it, because VOIP'd casts are noticeable and often have a big hit to both flow and to audio quality.

I wonder if it is the case that mindfulness is helpful for certain types of people, ineffective with others, and actually harmful with some people. Maybe all the effects cancel out when you do a study with a large sample, and that is why it seems to be ineffective.

Fortunately it wouldn't be a regulation passed by individual countries. It would be a treaty on war crimes:

It would likely pass and be agreed to easily just like treaties on mines, chemical and biological weapons.

"We could thus imagine, as an extreme case, a technologically highly advanced society, containing many complex structures, some of them far more intricate and

The autonomous vehicle engineering landscape (+ what happens next)
I don't understand--why would you need or want a "digitally phased array of microphones"? What problem is it trying to solve that normal multi-track recording doesn't? Get five reasonable dynamic microphones (elsewhere I linked the AT2005USB for $79 and a Knox knockoff for $59), sit people about four feet apart (you can do closer if you have to), and treat the walls a little.

Professionals will do basically the same thing, only upgrading the mics to ElectroVoices or something.
Do you happen to have any of these available on GitHub? Particularly #7 would be very useful.
The Pyrenees mountains have been a natural border splitting the two regions basically forever. Also, Occitania is doing slightly better than most of Spain, likely due to the proximity and earlier acquisition.

As for the rest of France, Caesar conquered Gaul sixty years earlier, slaughtering up to a million Gallic people. That's the kind of thing that can set your economy way back.
The trick is to not do it at all.

Dunno, taking @revelation's word for it? Mentioned they were missing it. It sounds funny to me though. I'm not a Debian user.

edit: The Debian page on security features confuses me (https://wiki.debian.org/Security/Features).
I understand the plight and I think that has certainly occurred in some instances, however, in reaching the ideal, the importance seems to be inclusiveness yet straightforwardness in purpose.

We should aim to promote gender inclusivity, but not stigmatize traditional gender mindsets, i.e. 'aggressiveness', as negative in the process. If an institution starts accepting females and then (oftentimes purposely) loses that common mindset, it simply reinforces gender stereotypes.
I assume your response is coming from a low-carb/paleo perspective? No leafy greens or vitamin-rich vegetables. The vegetables that are there (root vegetables) are carby and not especially nutritious. Huge vitamin deficiency across the board.

++ on the AT2100USB. I mentioned the AT2005USB elsewhere but this is a very similar mic (the sound profiles are basically interchangeable). And it's cheaper. And it's not a condenser. And it supports XLR without having to buy a "pro" model.
Technically, that kinda describes my current situation, and it's been this way for a while now. I live in what used to be a suburb when my home was built in the early 1970s (now it's more part of an "inner ring").

I "commute" about 15-30 minutes away to my job (software engineer) where my employer is located in an industrial business park area, on the more outer edge of the city (but not the extreme outer edge).

My last three or four employers have been like this mostly, but this one has been the closest to home, and it is pretty nice not having to drive so far for a change.

Custom headers are better, imho, if you have an ajax-driven app. There is 0 chance of csrf ever happening if you require the session token be passed in a custom header and hold the session value in localstorage.

Collaborative filtering methods vs non-collaborative-filtering recommendation methods.
I have found it best to treat Anti-virus products like mal-ware themselves. They only get to live inside a VM for the sole purpose of antivirus scanning. This VM has access to several different antivirus products, and I use a battery of them (after updating signatures) to scan any file that I am leery of trusting. I delete the VM afterwards.

This is not impractical for my situation, because I do not have a large throughput of dubious files, perhaps a couple every 6 months or so.

That is a terrible idea, as anyone who knows anything about Russia would tell you.
I think a small podcasting setup is maybe the only situation where the simplicity of a USB mic makes sense. I don't have first-hand experience with Blue mics, but I'd have no hesitation in buying one of the Audio Technica USB mics and not bothering with a separate audio interface, if that's all that my requirements were.
I wonder why none of the feature phone OSes have been open sourced? Is it because they only work on the one device they were installed on? Cricket and all the other feature phones before smartphones had tons of Operating Systems, maybe that would give people a head start?
> Data Structures Are Antithetical to Functional Programming

Interestingly I've heard a similar pov from the 'pure OO' (Smalltalk style) world as well. Specifically avoiding 'data structures' and embracing late binding.
Most of the AT USB mics, except (I think) the 2020, support XLR to keep using them later. And, as I mentioned elsewhere, you can often drive both USB and XLR in most (all?) of them, if you play and record games.
Yeah, when I worked at Malwarebytes we did not really care about this issue. If people are doing to download it they are going to reverse engineer it.

We also did third party security audits on a regular basis, but still wouldn't be comfortable allowing that to be done with other countries. Purely my own opinion here, but my concern wouldn't be a security one so much as an intellectual property one- it's pretty well known that other governments (China, Russia) have strong links to their commercial sectors and little regard for IP protection.
I’m not even talking about beauties ... the average looking chicks are equally coveted and possibly sought after more then the hot ones.
The #1 risk for modern SV is likely interest rates.

Low interest rates spurred a search for returns by pensions, endowments and SWFs which would unwind to some extent as interest rates return to historic norms, as lower risk yield instruments become viable again.

Many startups' growth and hiring are being driven by equity capital rather than operational revenue, meaning that any causes that would undermine the flow of capital from LPs to VCs to Startups would lead to companies folding and increasing unemployment in the region.

A negative signal to LPs from an exit outcome standpoint may have an analogous effect. For example, Uber dying would be a very significant negative signal to LPs.

What I wonder when thinking of this is what the ratio of startup jobs to bigco jobs looks like these days.
I have a genius IQ, dropped out after starting to work in IT (SysAdmin) at 15. My career fizzled out. "Could've been Bill Gates" talk infuriates me. Looking at how money affects success shows that anyone who thinks otherwise (healthcare, networking, education and the like are benefits of having money) is completely delusional if they think education isn't important or lead to success. Most billionaires are dropouts because Mom and Dad were able to front them cash to get their company rolling. There're exceptions like Jack Ma and the eBay guy, but yeah...
It is a rare situation where you want to be recording multiple people off of one mic.
Having done all 3, I'd order them from the hardest as selinux, pulseaudio, apparmor. Out of these 3, apparmor has the most user-friendly tools to apply changes. It also allows you to easily turn off a single profile without disabling the whole system. Given those, I don't expect that many issues.

But also, worth remembering that this is a proposal for an experiment. One of the things they're going to judge is how much does it affect regular users.

Online dating has diluted the decision making requirements of dating. Rather than getting to know someone, over time, dating websites allow us to flip through massive numbers of people. With this impression that there are massive numbers of people to choose from, it tricks us into believing we can be more selective, and dismissive of attributes. These websites, IMO, have the negative affect of giving us "too much" choice, and so people never settle or make choices, or take chances.
