You've nailed. Language is a great examply where our intuition about how one learns is wildly incorrect.

Babies are prewired to rapidly learn language, merely by hearing it around them. They do this regardless of the language, with teachers who have no idea what they're doing. It's an incredible process but because it happens so easily it leads us to think teaching a computer these things must not be all that hard.

But we're not generic computing devices, and our linguistic developmental skills are innate and incredibly well adapted. We just can't see it so we take it for granted.
It's not about happening, it's about happening "just as much". A couple of Amish examples don't prove that. Not to mention that the guy was Amish, but not necessarily part of the communities that invested, in the sense of the article.
> first remove all internal compression from PDF streams, and then apply LZMA to the resulting PDF

And this out-compresses PDF's internal compression?

Could PDF be updated in future to support superior compression algorithms?
My experience with Sprintly was that it was god-awful slow and had a user interface straight out of 2008.
Doubt it. I went to community college.
It's a classic Apple privacy protection move.

Apple wants to allow users to make map data requests anonymously using a random identifier that changes frequently.

Google wants to link the device requesting map data to a particular user account.

Google was playing hardball and refusing to provide turn by turn directions (as they did on Android) unless Apple stopped protecting their user's privacy.

Rather than give in, Apple decided to roll their own mapping service.

It's all about the difference between how the two companies make money. Google chooses to monetize their users' data. For instance, using their location data to tell it's advertising customers that a user has entered a store that sells their product. More recently, they have started buying credit card purchase data from third party data brokers so they can go farther and inform an advertiser that someone who saw their ad ended up buying the product advertised.

Indeed, I hadn't meant to imply otherwise.

I like the tool though. Couldn't get compact.exe to work, it reported compressing 0 of the files in the directory. CompactGUI worked fine though. Maybe it invokes compact.exe once per file, rather than across the directory.

I don't think the city representing all of it's citizens expressing their power to try and have services provided equitably to all it's citizens throughout the city is stupid.
Sure they are not market driven and screw up the economics for the company. But if you look at what tools the city has available then most of that stupid becomes an understandable compromise.
Having just googled it, I'm surprised to see that ext4 doesn't support compression.

Some people have different experiences. I have never had a spiritual experience on psychedelics. But dissos? Quite a bit.
No. These people exploit loopholes in social trust contracts to gain personal power. It's not about liking them or disliking them. Recognizing their techniques is a learnable skill. Such people really are quite different from the norm, but without training you won't spot them because they're very good at blending in.

Sociopaths, narcissists, and borderlines are real, they are of a particular kind, and their differentness is not bullshit like astrological star signs.
This is why we need cryptocurrency.
Can someone explain to me why people and companies even use credit cards? Why not bank transfers? Why credit cards are often in exclusions to other payment methods?

I wanted to support 3blue1brown on Patreon and I can't because I need to have a credit card. Even PayPal requires a credit card.

If I want to have a server on AWS or Google Cloud I need to have a credit card.

Why not prepay trough bank transfer? It's some American thing that is just imposed on Europeans because why not or there are some valid reasons why companies try to force credit cards on me?

As I see it, if I send someone money it's up to me and that person, eventually to a court, to resolve any issues. Why bank can't be a neutral third-party?

To me it seems like a beneficial deal to companies. If they got the money then it's up to them to return them or not, so they are in beneficial, safe position.

Currently I try to somehow go around need for credit cards with virtual credit cards that are prepaid, but it seems like they are banned quite often... E.g. I haven't found a way to do prepaid for Google Cloud, so I can't use it.

Nietzsche was against any ideology, he argued that each of us should think for him/ herself and that following some leader or ideology was just making us dumb.

So in Nietzsche's view, the person Trump is doing pretty well because he doesn't seem to follow anybody. But Trump's fans would be his textbook example of how mankind is losing its way.
Well, frankly, your software has:

1. a big banner with angry text about commercial and trademark stuff

2. a widget about Netgate selling you stuff

3. A Netgate Device ID so you can track pfSense and no way to remove that

Basically, pfSense is Netgate's b!tch, and almost none of the FOSS community spirit is left.

You don't see this with other projects, it's clearly a direction chosen by Netgate and the paid people. It's about money, and about being commercial. The community forum is a commercial outlet, and anything that might even come close to not giving netgate sales is censored.

About TNSR, it does look like a neat set of features for the much more integrated cloud world, and SDN setups, but there is no easy to find information about the state of licensing, cost, sources etc. It's very easy to buy this stuff already, the only interesting things for most members of our implementors forum is having a FOSS solution with paid support and perhaps enterprise extras to buy like Elastico's X-Pack. Even if TNSR were to come out on top in terms of features and compatibility with existing infrastructures, it wouldn't have any space to operate in, at least not in the current markets we are servicing (which is pretty much eurasia except china and russia, plus brazil and canada).
This reminds me of the famous Leary vs. Lettvin debate (1967): https://youtu.be/Gq3Fp-xp0l0

Leary's sitting in the lotus position was always a red flag to me ;)
I don't advocate a prohibition at all, but I think there's something wrong with attempting to conceive some sort of an ideology to back up the drug use.

Lettvin's point - "but the problem is whether the navel really replaces TV" - still stands ;)

This is a very common misconception. Whilst auditors should always report fraud if they find it, an audit is not there to detect fraud. They call this the "expectations gap".

An audit is trying to demonstrate that the accounts of a company show a 'true and fair view' of the companies performance. Things that interest auditors are things like, is the stock all there, will the company be able to sell the stock for what it bought it for, does the income booked to these accounts properly belong in this time-frame, are these assets still worth their book value.

Obviously this turns up various kind of fraud, but wouldn't for instance detect a fraud like Libor.

edit:

> So the firm has an incentive to draw out the process and gamble that the auditors won't find anything actionable before the clock runs out.

Auditors are trained to look out for this, but it is certainly possible to some degree. I would say it is getting harder to do, because much more of the audit methodology is about 'analytical review' (do the results seems possible) rather than 'substantive testing' (checking documents). If the audit partner is not happy with the access he has been given he can always 'qualify' the accounts in his statement. This is then public information, and a qualified audit would raise a lot of suspicion with counter-parties

Toronto police issued a warning after noticing “a significant increase” in calls from victims who report having been defrauded of thousands of dollars in this way.

The phone calls often come from fake numbers created online through technology that allows the perpetrators to change phone numbers and spoof caller IDs.

This technology makes it challenging for law enforcement to track down the numbers, but the task becomes even more difficult if the schemes operate overseas.
My takeaway from witnessing countless arguments about Nietzsche: Nietzsche wasn't very good at expressing what he meant. If he were, there wouldn't be so much arguing about how to interpret his works.

Do you mean a PS/2 connector, or a five pin DIN? Or even one of the earlier connectors; I had an IBM keyboard once that was something I can only imagine predated the 5 pin DIN. PS/2 to five pin DIN (and vice-versa) was easy enough, but I never did get that keyboard connected to anything.

I'm typing this on a Model M I picked up from my keyboard corner just now. As I recall, this one doesn't work well; pretty soon, it will stop registering some keypresses. Never have been able to work out why :/
Credit cards offer a lot of benefits and cash back (essentially a discount).for bank transfer to compete they’d need to offer the consumer similar fiscounts in lieu of the benefits and cashback.

Some cards can offer 3-5% of the transaction back, on top of a slew of benefits including extended warranty, 90 day accidental damage or theft reimbursement, price protection (a refund if the price changes), return protection (a refund if the store doesn’t accept a return).
My dude, if you can't read and comprehend how am I supposed to do that for you? The article includes extensive linked references with code examples that are far more credible than me on the subject. What don't you understand here:

"As ASLR has improved through 'full' ASLR, attackers have needed to read memory in their exploit code to adequately determine what data to target for a successful exploit. This step in exploit development is one of the most time consuming, but also the most powerful, because in many cases not only can you craft an exploit to read the target address space and bypass ASLR, you can also write into the target address space."

If language is a barrier or something, that means, in simple words, ASLR is so minor a speedbump as to be a safety blanket.

I don't know that it's fair to simply say his statement is false.

The problem with your reductio ad absurdum is that the rich in such countries do not create wealth. Their economies are aptly described as crony-capitalism for this reason. It's a redistribution of sovereign wealth (resources) rather than the creation of wealth.

Your argument more broadly is that wealth is created by the needs of the market. But I think that you cannot ascribe it to any particular one of the things you listed. Regardless of who determines those needs, someone also needs to fulfill such needs. On top of someone to fulfill the needs, you need capital to fund the venture too. Thus, you end up with a small number of very rich people who use their capital to fuel wealth creation.

I don't know that the full thrust of the parent is correct, but he's not totally wrong either. You may need a middle class, but you need the other classes, however transient, as well.
I've used a Model M from 1985 for the last 6 years. I don't know how much it had been used before and I've recently started to think that it might have started to wear off. But all that time it has been the best keyboard I've ever used. I'm serious, my typos went down to less than half, instantaneously.

The sound does annoy me, though.

The cherries I've tried (mechanical keyboards - though I don't know the model names) felt like cheap toys in comparison. I think the inexpensive Dell SK-8115 is much better than those. The Dell has distinctively shaped keys and a solid activation point. Not a mechanical keyboard, though, and probably wears off quicker.
The Model M keyboard is the "I use arch btw" of keyboards.

Just how on Earth have you inferred this statement from the OP or from the parent's comment? Have you read either?
it's unnecessary to remember the whole book just for explaining it to someone what you've read. that isn't worth another 4 hours.

for a non-professional book, it's the idea behind the story or the art of writing or both, that values. if you can't explain what you've read, i think it's most likely you haven't catch the main idea of the story rather than the story itself.

Well did you choose a vocational course at college, or did you choose a degree at a University.

The former is for learning a job/role, the latter is for learning about a subject. The academic development in a subject/subjects may make you better for some jobs but that is not their primary purpose; you often need to add on your own extras if you want to be career ready.
That's ok, he wasn't writing to be understood by everyone! among scholars there is much agreement about what nietzsche meant of what he wrote.
I bought one of these for myself last year, as it was on my wishlist from when I was a kid. My primary school had IBM PS/2 computers in ~1992 when I was in grade four, so I bought a vintage Model M keyboard made in 1992. I learned to type on these keyboards, so I've always had a sort of affinity with them.

Buying this keyboard was one of the best purchases I think I've made in my life. It's just a joy to type on and brings a love for computing hardware back that I feel I've lost as computers have become commodities.

If you're on the fence, pull the trigger.

I got mine from https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/store.
Yes, that would explain why customers may want to use, so companies may offer them as an option, but why companies don't offer bank transfers? In Europe we do most of the day to day payments with bank transfers and companies seems to be OK with that.

Calibre (2018) Film Izle Full HD (Netflix)
Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: "I seek God! I seek God!"--As many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Has he got lost? asked one. Did he lose his way like a child? asked another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? emigrated?--Thus they yelled and laughed.

The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. "Whither is God?" he cried; "I will tell you. We have killed him--you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon?

What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him."
Probably a dick move, depending on the ambient noise level of the office.

Typewriters are still worse, though.
There are no rules in my office. No one would use "blues", though. Plenty of people, including me, have mechanical keyboards around - just not audible ones. Of course they would give you the "classical" caps hitting the chassis sound, but that is quite normal and acceptable where I work.
Although it does help, I would say its only a bit faster than actually just setting a breakpoint of where you want the code to stop, and running till then, unlike Microsoft's example which shows 85 step intos, as if people actually do that.

I have enough experience with schizophrenia and mental illness to take a stab at this.

This is written by a schizophrenic, or someone in psychosis, or someone attempting to mimic that.

Schizophrenics are experiencing a very different reality than us, and psychiatry is inherently trying to tease them out of that reality-- which many of them reject. They are prone to paranoid delusions as well, so the combination of these things is very bad.

I once knew a schizophrenic person who told me about the "bad men in the white coats who gave him the pills that made the voice of Jesus go away."

He's figured out something that's partially true, many of the things we define as mental illness, are not. Our society causes some mental illness with the chronic and unnecessary stress is places on people. But he's incorrectly extrapolated that to "there is no such thing as mental illness."

There is a sort of "luddite" form of Christianity that even I think is problematic. My family is mostly teachers and preachers. I'm a Christian and am raising my son as one also.

For instance, my uncle who is a preacher was completely barred from using his iPad to store and read his sermons, because using such a thing as a tool to preach was somehow evil. ????

A big part of the existing doctrine is to try to help you identify things which are sinful, which basically means will separate you from God. And there's a place for that. But there is also a huge modern movement which focuses on Jesus' interaction with people, the actual words he spoke and the things that he did which are very loving, forgiving, and accepting of even the worst of sinners.

Which is more effective? (A) "Don't take those drugs, you'll go to hell!" or (B) "Hey man, I love you, and God loves you. I think these are having a very bad effect on your life. I'd like to help you with that, and will be here for you when you want to talk."

In my opinion, (A) is more of what the old-style doctrine preaches, while (B) is closer to Jesus' actual actions in the bible.

Anyways, I'm done. I wanted to also make the point that I fully believe you can pursue science and physics and all of that while still being utterly amazed at the breadth and beauty of God's work. But this post is getting too long, and people have in the past accused me of being a fence sitter for holding that opinion. I am not.
why the downvotes ? there's more bacteria in milk than there will ever be in any drug im just saying op's point make no sense.
Justifying the tax to provide a service with an existing private provider would be very difficult since the goal is building out service for the under serviced residences. If the city service tried to operate city wide, the private company would sue them claiming they can't compete. The company may sue even if the city is only trying to extend service to the underserved for the same reason.

Some of these success stories are more luck then repeatable solutions.
Agreed, but I also came to accept these things change quite slowly, when taking into account existing code, habits and beliefs.
