Not that you're asking for a code review but a couple things I noticed:

- You left your twitter IDs in your code. Not sure if it matters to you or not.

- Your buttons probably have some stuff in common (corner radius at least), so consider making the them all inherit from the base LoginButton class.

- You can put multiple lets on a single line, like `if let accessToken = AccessToken.current, let facebookAPIManager = FacebookAPIManager(accessToken: accessToken) {`
I think it is actually, you see, the elections and such.

I think you're overestimating the privacy benefits afforded by using two browsers. Both browsers are using the same IP address which means that google can identify you in the other browser with high certainty. I also have two browsers and use only one to log into google. Yet, google firmly places me in my filter bubble even in the other browser.

It is sometimes argued that one can find answers about philosophy in the even more abstract field of metaphilosophy–philosophy of/about philosophy. Given that the study of X is usually termed Xology let's call the study of philosophy philosophology. An ugly word, safe from thieves and brigands. Pirsig uses it in his Zen and the Art… reboot Lila–I came up with it independently recently if you're so inclined to believe me.

The world is not divided up into stuff we believe because we have empirical evidence for it and stuff we don't because we don't. For instance, the animal that jumps on my lap and purrs is called a cat. Would you say that I know its a cat because of empirical evidence? Would you say that I know that it is called 'cat' because of empirical evidence?

Philosophy is a discipline. Discipline can be divided into how and what. _How_ are the methods. Hence, a title like 'Discourse on the Method'[0]. So part of the business of philosophy is to train your mind to be able to manipulate certain thinky-stuff in a reliable way†. Like learning to ride a bike. You don't need empirical evidence that philosophy does this. That's one of its raison(s?) d'etre! One can learn these mental habits in other disciplines, sure–but philosophy is especially concerned about them methodologically speaking. Secondly the _What_. This is what people mean when they ask the question, What is philosophy about? or What is it for? That is trickier … :) but I like the Wilfrid Sellar's answer,

“The aim of philosophy, abstractly formulated, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term”

Of course, the devil is in the details!

Maybe I am missing something here, but how does this help against being tracked by google through google analytics and/or their ad-network?

Sure they cannot 1:1 link your {analytics, ad} identity to your actual Google identity, but I am reasonably sure that they have all the data necessary to do it via (not too many) connecting dots.
In the US, it is a well-settled point of law that the defamatory act is the publication of the false image. The statement that the image is fake is not a defense unless it accompanies every publication of the image and identifies the fake aspects of it at every occurrence.

You can certainly argue that the defendant didn't intend to defame someone and included a statement that the image was fake. But as I said, that statement would not eliminate your liability for the tort; it would merely mitigate the damages.

Tort law is complicated and isn't something you can just pick up by browsing the internet for a few minuets. I've handled these types of cases before. Have you?
Lets ignore that "cool" is not really well defined for a moment.

> Anything creative will never be seen as cool outside of the niche it lives in.

In my experience the exact opposite is true. The cool kids back in my school were the ones who were into music and art. It was mainly the lifestyle surrounding the "creative, don't care" type.

Even now that is still the case in my culture. People whose main profession is writing/painting/producing music are "cool". But maybe that is different in your culture.

Oh, the delivery medium and medium are relevant. Not to you, that much is clear. But we've already established your viewpoint is an outlier. The person you're referring to is Bryan Cantrill [1]. For each expert like him, there are also Linux kernel experts, so I am not buying that one [2], sorry. He's been able to rant successfully in text, as you can read on the Wikipedia page. No idea why we'd have to see extremely long videos of him. I'm sure a shorter, to the point argument can be made by him. So if Cantrill (& friends) could sum it up in 10 min read in a 2018 sauce, that'd be great.

Kessler Syndrome is very unlikely in GEO orbits. The reason is twofold: first the distances are enormous, but more importantly all of the satellites are traveling at the same speed in the same direction. Even a defunct satellite that didn't get put in a parking orbit and starts drifting will take years before it even has a chance of colliding with another satellite, and the odds of that collision are infinitesimal.

In LEO you have a completely different story. The distances are still large, but not as overwhelming as they are in GEO. Also, satellites are flying in every direction at very high relative velocities to one another. A piece of space trash could have thousands of potential collisions per day, so even if the odds of any one collision are small the cumulative odds start to add up over time.

Of course the other problem is that when we put people into space we put them in LEO. People have not ventured beyond LEO since the Apollo program. In the event of a full blown Kessler syndrome manned space flight would have to be put on hold for decades while we wait for the skies to clear up.
I'm not sure what makes that farcical - in the first three seasons, the car swap was required because battery capacities were too low to power the car for the whole race. Now the battery capacity requirement is double - isn't this pushing battery development forward?
I had no end of issues with Nvidia cards on Linux, I had to buy a ridiculously expensive AMD GPU (thanks crypto miners!) which has since been rock solid. I needed monster card that can drive four 1920x2160 displays, and the liquid-cooled fury didn't dissapoint (plus it's nice and quiet.)
They are using the word democracy in the colloquial sense. If you read the article it’s clear they are talking about a growing disconnect between policy makers’ decisions and the needs/wants of the public. Just saying, “never has been one” isn’t helpful.
Actually a republic is a type of democracy.

> He wants accuracy in historical depictions, not over-representation of (insignificant at the time and place) populations the way they do in stock photos to show how "diverse" a company is.

“Accuracy” is not possible if your depict a smaller group then the whole, as any story (regardless of media; visual, text, or otherwise) that focusses on a small number of focal characters to illustrate something about broad society and time period will not accurately represent the composition of the broader society.

You either exclude lots that was present by focussing exclusively on the most common or overrepresent minorities that were present in the broad society by having them present at all in the small focal group, and in practical terms you end up doing some of each. But you can't losslessly compress history; you just have to choose what's appropriate for your purpose.

"hundreds" is actually what I meant by insignificant to a modern driver.

For example: https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph11223/86100.png

Granted that's a 1060 but since we're looking at driver CPU overhead that shouldn't matter much. So 2.3 million draw calls per second in DX11 single threaded.

It's not until you start getting into the 10k+ draw calls a frame that you are putting your 60fps at risk.

It's often worth the work to avoid this anyway, after all faster is better if you're an engine/renderer, but it takes a lot for it to be an actual _problem_

Gave the map of the route to fake. Without that you'd need time to trace round buildings and training areas you see in satellite pics. Which is the kind of thing governments have the time to do (imagine mapmyride seeing an uptake in users in N Korea); I didn't.
I do understand that, they engaged in fraud, slight of hand, whatever. But my main interest is what happened after they exchanged USDT for Bitcoin. When they did this, or as they did this, they added $2 billion or marginal demand that didn't exist in dollars to the bitcoin market. However, if they subsequently and along the way sold the BTC for USD, they also extinguished that extra demand, so the bitcoin market net-net had no extra demand - all purchases ended up being backed by USD.

I dont know the answer to the above, but its critical for the future price of bitcoin and is really really important. Everyone just seems to assume they held the bitcoin, which is a crazy move. If they could have sold for USD, it makes sense to me they would have...thats why I think its an important question. It doesnt seem to interest anyone else tho, which is fine.

The comment above said liquidity dictates they could not have, that they must still be holding bitcoin. But I also say today, bitfinex'ed, the blogger that has been on this story, says they redeemed 330 million in past 24 hrs. Which is far above the 10% of 2 billion number he said of the entire crypto market is backed by USD. So to say the liquidity doesnt exist doesnt seem to make sense, there seem to be a lot of dollars into crypto. 1 million people with $1000 invested is a billion alone. That isnt crazy.
I've been beating the same drum from the moment I heard the announcement. I also think the city is Boston and always was (don't live there) and not Austin and definitely not Atlanta.
I wish that was enough. The articles that show up here on HN from time to time make me think they can cross-reference data and fingerprint you through many data sources and more advanced tracking (things that we discover from time to time like canvas, css). People that have you on their contact list, your e-mails that hit their servers even when you don't have a Gmail, DNS, CDN, cloud services, your phone unless you go full tin foil hat, data they acquire from other companies. I try to protect my privacy but I think it's all futile, they have too much power.
Bots will only increase as AI improves, and throwaways are important. They should definitely be honest about their numbers, though.
I agree, as an AMZN shareholder, it's quite ridiculous for this kind of "woo'ing" to occur related to states' economies and income.

I hate reading news articles about tech stuff from "leading news sources", they never really know what's going on. It's like they use technology to scare people into either voting for someone or buying something from someone.
This is an extremely muddled analogy. Local municipalities competing for a company headquarters is basically nothing at all like an individual considering different job offers, across a whole bunch of very important dimensions. It's hard to find any relevant way in which they're alike.
Okay fine. Just don't call it motor racing then. Given that the cars are obviously running in some artificially crippled state compared to the 'boosted' car. Call it ... Car-big-brother or something instead :p
It would take an unbelievably catastrophic Kessler syndrome to make it too dangerous to boost through LEO. It's not a game of Asteroids, we're talking about collisions on a yearly or possibly monthly timeframe. Bad enough to ruin LEO for satellites, but not so bad that it blocks you from space entirely.
IMHO the distinction is that situation the events must be true. The person can't prevent you from portraying the facts, but if you wan't to take some "artistic liberty" about what happened, then you'd better either get their permission or change their name.

The batteries have been, and remain, standard parts, used by all teams. There's no on-track competition pushing battery development forward, they're just put out to tender every few years by the organisers.
There are significant technical obstacles to overcome with the switchover to PoS. The switchover was supposed to happen more than a year ago (i.e. given the current ETA they are more than 2 years behind schedule) and the release date is being pushed back essentially as we go.

In fact the technical problems are so severe that it's questionable if the switchover will happen at all. All current PoS coins use centralized control due to these technical issues.

NVIDIA GPUs are actually typically more efficient for mining most coins, AMD cards are only preferred because they have quicker ROI. If mining profits continue to decline, that efficiency comes more into play. And, NVIDIA may be about to introduce a new generation which further improves efficiency.

If they do, god only knows what the prices are going to be. They're already nuts on Pascal, let alone if miners are snapping them up for the efficiency. Availability is going to be shit too.
There are lots of homeless in San Diego and LA, however, they don't have the same level of density that SF is nor the same level of social services.

>I don't think most addicts or mentally disabled people have the wherewithal to make a move from, say, Chicago to SF.

There is a distinction between people with mental health problems and mental disability. Things like addiction and mental health exist on a pretty vast spectrum and have massive variations day to day.

As to how homeless people get around - well I see you haven't been on the greyhound much but that's a major way to travel for homeless both with their own money or with tickets paid for by various cities.
My controller and implementation is currently proof of concept stage.

I have slapped together few components to create a working prototype, STM32 Nucleo board with STM32L452 MCU, Texas Instruments development board with Bluetooth 5, some RTD temperature measurement development boards from MaximIntegrated, a bunch of relays, current sensors, water
flow sensor from Digmesa (actually replacement part from one of Saeco machines), etc.

I am using a test board to detect existing espresso machine operation and perform readings using multichannel laboratory thermometer that measures external boiler case temperature, group head temperature, brewing water temperature (inside portafilter), tank water temperature and external temperature along with signals (when the brewing starts, stops, etc.) to provide experimental data to build the model.

I am using Matlab and Simulink to help me generate parts of the software using gathered experimental data. This lets me play with models and observe how it could behave without actually brewing any coffee:)
Thanks, I really like the core ideas of ssb but the nodejs implementation and lack of a security review give me a lot of professional reservations.
