The 1994 assault weapons ban implemented by gun control advocates defines it as a gun with a bayonet mount on it (among other cosmetic definitions that it used).

So going by that definition, I would be curious as to why the OP wants to ban bayonet mounts.

Perhaps that is unfair but that is the literal definition that gun control advocates used!

Lets say the OP is instead talking about semi automatic weapons as at least rate of fire is a quality that a reasonable person could identify as being dangerous.

If they are talking about that, we'll then I'd like to point out that basically all weapons are semi automatic.

So that means that the OP either wants to ban bayonet mounts or wants to ban almost all guns.

Both of these positions I'd regard as ridiculous.
That’s why logic is superior to many “scientific” studies.

It’s clear that the environment we evolved in lacked much alcohol, therefore studies showing alcohol is healthy should be taken with a grain of salt.

if they were prone to revolution, you'd think "get a danged job" would be the path of least resistance (pun fully intended).
Or perhaps narcissism and attention-seeking behaviours are "a really common thing now" and, as a consequence, referring to wealthy strangers by first name is also becoming more common.
This is so amazing. I've often wished I could keep refactoring commands on a git branch that could be replayed on a future version of the program. This allows that and much more.
So, in your world, the best software developer gets paid the most (gold), the second best gets paid less (silver), the third best gets paid the least (bronze), and everybody else works as slaves because they're losers.

It's not just you. Your point is entirely valid.
Given the date I thought this might be fake, but it seems the program is real:

That said, the article also claims "Shinto" Abe was the first person to enter the program, but besides mispelling his name I can't find any other reference to him being involved with it at all.
Fair enough.

I'll add the caveat that the product they sell or use for revenue needs to be the tech they are developing. So, once again, Nike sells athletic apparel, and while they use tech to do so, I wouldn't consider them a tech company. But Facebook and Snapchat don't sell a product (other than user info) but depend on the tech they develop to make money.

It's a fine line, but I think we can see what might divide tech and non-tech companies.

Why is it misleading? It's mostly impulsive acts of violence. Most, but not all, of it is against the self.

The key method of reducing violence to other people and reducing death by suicide is to reduce access to means.

Reducing access to guns would help both problems.

Probably unrelated, but Java really needs to fix its Classpath Hell issues. On so many sufficiently large Java projects, you end up descending into the inclusion/exclusion madness with your build files because your app is inheriting `log4j` from 50 different libraries. Or the infamous xerces hell[1]. And fixing that in maven is not pretty :(.

Your parent comment used a definition of four people shot.

If you use the number of people killed (excluding the perpetrator), then depending on how medical care goes, the YouTube shooting today might involve 0 deaths. Nonetheless, it reasonably appears to be considered a "mass shooting".

If i were to abstract the entire universe to one formula with perfect soundness it would not be some model of society or physics, but 0=0. This formula is not debatable, it's perfect in its simplicity, and it has 0 real world value.

I feel the same about nihilism. "If we abstract everything away then we end up with nothing", and then claims are made based upon that ("so live for yourself"), but that's not valid reasoning. You can't prove anything with an empty premise.

The entirety of morality (doing things for yourself vs doing things for the group) isn't restricted by accepting nihilism while people often (including this article) make it out to be the answer of it.

Can you elaborate a bit on the recommendation of KMS (Amazon or Google's key management service)? It seems to me that bringing in a new external service as a dependency, and trusting that external dependency with your encryption keys, adds a risk that isn't necessary or present with NaCL or other well-reviewed cryptography libraries. How can you independently audit the correctness of KMS? What if Google or Amazon becomes evil, or incompetent, or are put under nation-state pressure, etc?

I know next to nothing about today's shooting and was not suggesting today's is a mass shooting. I hope, for the sake of all those involved, that it isn't.
Guns are certainly part of the American identity, for many Americans at least. Sadly, there are some pretty horrible biases and misconceptions as well.

There is a theory that democracy flourishes, when the Government is not that much better armed than its citizens. So, the idea that we need to be armed against tyranny.

There are a couple of problems with this, in present-day America. First, as citizens get better armed with greater lethal force, simultaneously, the police have militarized. So while people are better armed, authorities are too.

The other problem, requires some deeper understanding. Tyranny is always a threat, but the tyrannical government of the 21st century won’t bust in to take your guns. They don’t need to. The tyranny is more subtle, often financial, and when they control public opinion they don’t need to take the guns.
He founded Metaweb but unless I wasn't paying attention he doesn't have a PhD. He's the same age as me so his academic career was in the 80's. jg isn't a big time AI guy but he is very smart and he's been deeply involved with AI projects for at least the last decade.

You know the old saw, “quantity has a quality all of its own.” I’d add that these guys could have done both. They could have high follower count identities, medium, and low. They can have highly active accounts, and “sleepers” and everything in between. It would be unwise to make too many assumptions based on limited press releases from Facebook. It’s more sensible to think about what they could have done, and then move on from there.

They could have had tiers of accounts, all for different purposes. They could have used a ton of low accounts to simulate a grassroots response, to openly troll and be banned, and all kinds of things. They’d have cultivated more and less popular, and obvious accounts as well. If they were smart they’d have a whole layer of accounts designed just to be caught, and give a misleading impression of their competence and methodology.
> but I was responding to somebody who made it sound like wealthy people pay no taxes, which is an utter misrepresentation of the situation

I wish you were right, however:

https://globalnews.ca/news/3773729/richmond-incomes-downtown...

A huge percentage of recent sales are to overseas investors (untaxed money), most of the appreciation wealth is accumulated by people who bought > 10 years ago, so no tax as it is their primary residence. So even though it seems hard to believe, in fact the majority of the money in this system is untaxed.

I hit this just recently with an in-house dependency injection library. We upgraded the version in an application, it worked great, we deployed it to a cloud environment. Lo and behold the application wouldn't start up, and more importantly wouldn't give us a real reason why. In the end I discerned from cryptic logs that it was because Java had loaded up both the jar of the version we wanted and the jar of an older version that happened to be in the classpath too. You can't have two dependency injection systems running at the same time, so they fought and came to a stalemate. Deleted the bad version and it was all good.

I know that this isn't entirely Java's fault, as that second jar shouldn't have been there to begin with, but it's pretty ridiculous that two versions of the same dependency can be loaded and in use at the same time.
I guess Iraq and Vietnam didn't get the message on this.

"Defeating" the military isn't the goal, in the same way that the goal of Iraqi and Vietnam insurgents was not the goal.

The goal is to make the conflict so expensive and costly that they decide not to continue it.

For example, imagine if those hundreds of thousands of uninvolved civilians that died in Iraq were instead innocent Americans caught in the crossfire of a war.

This would be an extremely high cost to the ruling government.

Yes, even if the government is "evil", because real life entities are not comic book villains.

They are rational entities with rational motivation. And presumably one of those motivations of any government, even an evil one, is to not rule over a desolate wasteland of ashes.

Or in other words, sure the government could launch hundreds of nukes and kill all of its enemies. But it would do that, because the government is not a literal doomsday cult.

The point of an armed citizenry is to act as a DETERRENCE. It is to increase the costs to the government by saying "yes, you can win this... But only by killing millions, and since you are not a doomsday cult, this is a high cost".

It is a deterrence in order to stop the government from becoming an evil dictatorship in the first place, kinda like have a nuke pointed at your own country.

”Real estate for docks is probably not cheap”

Floor space is expensive in large cities, so neither is real estate for non-docks. That’s why some cities forbid companies from using public space to park their bicycles (just as they won’t let companies place soda machines or newspaper kiosks wherever they want)
So I can pay Amazon anonymously. That's nice. Now what about anonymous delivery? It could be done, with the address being sent to the Post Office as needed, for example; with Amazon not delivering the package.

RMS might want a law saying that whoever sold goods, couldn't also deliver them?
As a frequent rider myself, dockless is way better for several reasons:

1. Much Lower Price: In my city, docked bikes start at $5 for 30 minutes. Dockless bikes are only $1!

2. Less wasted time: I can end my trip right where I want to go, not 3 blocks away at a dock (or even further if the dock is full or broken).

3. Ease of use: The docks in my city are clumsy, require swiping a credit card and entering a code to use, and make it hard to get the bikes to unlock and release. The dockless bikes use a modern app and the bikes unlock instantly.

4. Choice of vehicle type: Several of the dockless providers here also have electric-assist bikes and electric-powered scooters scattered around - much better for hills! The scooters especially are very popular here.

I'm in no way affiliated with any company in this space. I just think the dockless companies have a MUCH better product in nearly every way from a rider's point of view. It's like the convenience jump between old-school taxis that you have to call and then take 2 hours to show up and refuse to take credit cards compared with ubiquitous ride-share that shows up in 2 minutes and everything happens instantly in an app.

Sort of, but not really. In reality a lot of the streaming contracts with record labels dictate that they must promote certain artists more than others.

They don't target American companies. American companies makes themselves targets. If anything it is the US that tries to hurt European companies (actually any business that isn't American). If US law can't control a business like Facebook, somebody has to. One can only hope it rubs off on American citizens too so they get a bit more privacy (let's forget NSA for a second).
You're right, it's not the EU's agenda to try and bring down American tech companies - it is strictly Margrethe Vestager's political ambition to ride the hardline, protectionist stance against American tech straight to the EU President's office. Thankfully, she's burned so many political bridges that her own country is railroading her plans.

Maybe Apple's. LPDDR4 is surely more expensive.
First you say it's not primarily about insulin, then you say that excess of glucose drives up insulin, leading to fat deposits. It's the insulin that directly controls fat deposits at th cellular level, is it not? And you do not have to have insulin resistance in order to drive your insulin up - just eating a pile of pastries will do it. You probably know more than me, could you please clarify?
Thanks, this is interesting and I'd like to learn more.

The TLDR: some (e.g., Facebook, Netflix) have parity between mothers and fathers but most of them (e.g., Amazon, Apple, Google, MS, Twitter) give at least some extra weeks for moms and/or birth moms.

"Merit" is not a quantifiable characteristic. All your plan would do is give the power to the people who define "merit."

It's like you're advocating for correctpersonocracy. Put another way, literally every government that has ever existed would call itself a meritocracy.

The actual word 'meritocracy' comes from a book that warned about the dangers of creating easily-gamed draconian systems that needlessly exclude people from the process of governing. I wish as many people would read the book as use the word.
Flops is a useless metric in general, there are benchmarks for machine learning that make valid comparisons between CPU/GPU/NPU/etc.

I was planning on cleaning up some hardcoded values so I could push it to some git service, but haven't gotten around to it. However, I'm not above a code dump. My IP is hard coded, but then again, I'm going to link you to my website hosted on that IP, so it is what it is. :)

http://ruka.org/~toast/steal/ (note the README which is going to tell you much of the same thing below in different words)

Here's the scoop. This is a FreeBSD program which opens up netgraph sockets against two physical ethernet interfaces and one virtual one. The physical interfaces are a) one connected to the ONT, b) one connected to the WAN port on the Residential GateWay. The virtual interface (ngeth0) is the one that you configure as your internet connection for FreeBSD (These interfaces are hardcoded in init_netgraph in steal_util.c; sorry!)

Everytime a packet comes in from the ONT, RGW, or FreeBSD, there's a decision for what to do with the packet. Mostly the RGW and FreeBSD packets go to the ONT, but through the libalias NAT engine for connection tracking. Packets inbound from the ONT are checked in the NAT tables to see where they should go... if there's no clear place to send it, then it goes to the FreeBSD. That's mostly in steal_util:loop. I haven't figured out how to setup the virtual interface in the program, so see the bottom of README for how i do that.

steal2.c is a little bit insane, it's basically setting up hot code loading. It's annoying to restart the daemon because the NAT tables are dropped, and I do a lot of Erlang work in my day job, so I really wanted to be able to hotload some things with this. So it uses dlopen and dlfunc to load steal_util.so and calls the init and loop functions. If init fails on a reload, it continues to use the old loop. There's some provision for updating the state data structure in a safe way.

Theoretically, this might work in Linux too, I think netgraph got ported there a couple of times, but I don't know if libalias did. Anyway, the main ideas could certainly be ported into whatever tool is available; namely: proxy 802.1x to the RGW, drop EAPOL logoff packets; oversend ARP packets, spoof mac address of the RGW, make pcaps of packets you don't know how to handle, etc. :)

Also of note: the ONT/RGW send packets with VLAN 0, FreeBSD strips this when reading packets via netgraph, and I haven't found a way to send packets with VLAN 0, which hasn't been a problem (yet?). If it becomes a problem, I suspect I'd need to switch to the packet apis that tcpdump uses (BPF), I think there may be a sending interface there too. And I'm also sadly moving out of AT&T fiber's reach this summer, so at that point, I won't be able to test anything else.

Inline: Efficient Source Code Editing and Manipulation with Code Portals
Curious, have you actually read their specification? I ask because it is oven much longer than people think. The cars are configured to "warn" you that the oil needs to be changed, but the miles to change is a soft configuration that is under-provisioned (presumably due to $$ made by people selling you oil you don't need). You can ask the oil changing people (or do it yourself if sufficiently motivated) to change the interval.
Well they're not hiding it. "Miracles" inherently bypass those rules.

OTOH, if I ask Google Photos to show me pictures of me on the beach with my friends X and Y, it shows me a picture from 2005, of exactly what I asked. (literally "me on the beach with X and Y").

And if I ask for pictures of me and my friend Z in a party, it shows me pictures of me at Z's wedding 4 years ago. (literally "me with Z in a party").
I hope they scrap it for a better model. Shared memory + locks is not the only way to handle concurrency and can be difficult to reason about. I don't quite understand what problem it's solving that message passing doesn't already.

Anyone have any insight on this?
