Yup. Tumblr totally doesn’t do any of that. I guess we are supposed to pretend it doesn’t because it’s a platform for the right kind of lies and hate?

I read this book some years ago: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B002FQOHTW

It was really good. But to your point, I'd say: don't assume that Europeans didn't believe the Plains Indians were incapable of the monumental architecture so much as a good many of the settlers actively wanted that knowledge suppressed, primarily for their own economic reasons (if it was on your farm land you made a living on, what would you do?)

A good portion of the potential sites were deliberately destroyed. Especially in the modern era. Huge battles about strip malls, highways, parking lots and other construction. People knew to some degree what was there and the fact that it was there was inconvenient to the other narrative: the rise of America and its glory. So artifacts were destroyed and sites suppressed.
They aren't "genuinely in the cloud business". They are a vampiric ancient giant slug that lumbers on by drinking the blood of other ancient giant slugs. They have zero interest in marketing cloud infrastructure to, say, startups.
Problem is that Microsoft still enjoys a practical monopoly on workstations and desktops, so there's very little pressure for them to actual do what people are asking. Case in point: we still have forced updates and ads in the start menu.

If there were a worthwhile competitor, I know a lot of people who would switch in a heartbeat, but even then Microsoft probably wouldn't care. I am increasingly convinced that it is Microsoft's unstated goal to kill off desktop personal computing entirely so they can push people into a subscription-based cloud service for everything.

Thanks. Not sure where they got it from. The Anandtech article that is linked to there does contain some TFLOPS numbers but I think they came up with those numbers somehow based on the CUDA core count so could well not be accurate.
Same here. read the rejection letter and went straight to bed and woke up to the acceptance email. I'm sure the initial 4k accepted all had the "reject" email.
Your legal analysis is incorrect. From the UK ICO's guidance¹:

> The ‘consent’ is a condition of service

> If you require someone to agree to processing as a condition of service, consent is unlikely to be the most appropriate lawful basis for the processing. In some circumstances it won’t even count as valid consent.
Instead, if you believe the processing is necessary for the service, the better lawful basis for processing is more likely to be that the “processing
is necessary for the performance of a contract” under Article 6(1)(b). You are only likely to need to rely on consent if required to do so under another provision, such as for electronic marketing.
It may be that the processing is a condition of service but is not actually necessary for that service. If so, consent is not just inappropriate as a lawful basis, but presumed to be invalid as it is not freely given. In these circumstances, you would usually need to consider ‘legitimate interests’ under Article 6(1)(f) as your lawful basis for processing instead.

And in regards to tracking specifically:

> You are also likely to need consent under ePrivacy laws for most marketing calls or messages, website cookies or other online tracking methods, or to install apps or other software on people’s devices.

Exactly this, if you've got crazy logic going on it should be removed from the view and done in the controller. The only code in your view should aid displaying model data and defining the layout output. I usually do my best but of course there are exceptions, especially if using third party libraries for views.

Sorry, but this comment is really kind of hilarious.

The "PC vs. Console" debate is something that almost predates the Internet and it has generated countless forum wars...

A high range PC has always been the more powerful and expensive gaming machine, since basically the first 3DFX cards in the late 90s, some people are OK with that, other prefer consoles as a perfectly acceptable alternative.

I'm a big fan of productivity engineering, but I find this article is a bit light on actual suggestions for increasing the productivity of teams.

I find automating the simple tasks has huge pay-offs as your team grows. Specifically:

* Linting - set up a linter which enforces code quality across the board
* Code formatting - similar to linting, but instead of just highlighting errors, automatically fixing them
* git pre-commit hooks - Use hooks to run the linter and formatting on pre-commit and reject commits which break company standards
* CI - Running test-cases and building on push is the single greatest time saver a company can invest in

I wonder what other things people do.
>Take "facts" with a grain of salt, at the very least until you have read the article. Do not take headlines as facts.

One consequence of social media is that headlines now have outsized importance in relation to the substance of actual articles.

Headlines, thanks to links and embedded snippets, get dispersed to 1000x more eyeballs than the articles themselves. So when they contradict or misleadingly oversimplify (which is often, especially since they are often written to draw clicks) it's the headline version of the truth that wins out, while the actual readers are left to chime in with "Hey, that's not what the article actually said..." in the comments below, swept away in a sea of respondents who commented only after reading the headline.

Journalistic ethics haven't caught up to this. They're still playing by the rules of legacy media, where you can bend the truth a little to make a joke or to draw people in. The problem is that in the digital age, that unfortunately amounts to spreading a falsehood that usually overshadows the facts of the piece.

It doesn't matter if the artist's meaning is portrayed, though, so long as viewers give it meaning. I'd argue that if the viewer doesn't give some meaning or attach some emotion to it, it has failed. I might not have meaning in mind when I create things, but I know others perceive that stuff in my art. I know a few tricks to make others feel things or think about things, and employ those. I'm mostly just making stuff I like for whatever reason, though.

These AI pictures would wind up being called art if someone purposefully produced them as such and if necessary, provided some meaning or context to them all.
I really wish this article would have mentioned the fake domain names used and include some screenshots or at least have asked MS for that information.
I'm also curious if these sites were hosted on MS clouds, then there might be some traffic data, etc. I wish they would also include that.

Lastly, I'm not sure how MS made the connection to Russia. Did they shared some data, IP, etc. with US government to verify this? Does MS have the kind of cybersecurity forensic to independently determine the source?

This reads more like fluff at this point.
The GDPR does not accept lack of action - dismissing dialogs, ignoring them, etc. as consent. You have to give clear, free and affirmative consent.

You basically have to have a modal "do you consent to tracking? [yes] [no]" dialog. Which obviously nobody who does tracking wants to do, but that's kind of the point.

No need to write the distributed log yourself, you just need Kafka.

You basically just independently conceived of, what is becoming a pretty popular architecture these days - event driven systems based on distributed logs.

The source of truth in your system becomes the idempotent distributed log of events (rather than your rdbms or data warehouse) which ought to be "replayable", allowing you to audit or even potentially recreate your application state (databases, etc), at any point in time.

Transitioning to a new version of an api/service means adding another subscriber to the event stream (and perhaps reprocessing some or all of its history), that runs in parallel with the old version - then when everything looks good you can quietly disable the old version.
Yep. I don't know what's wrong with folks these days - some even claim that the earth is a oblate spheroid and not flat!

What basis do you have for concluding it was an anti-trans false-flag operation in this poster's case? Nothing in their post would lead me to naturally reach that conclusion. Downplaying or instantly dismissing this kind of anecdata as the result of a "false flag" is naive at best and dangerous at worst.

Speaking from my own experience, I've seen a lot of stuff on Tumblr that leads me to think there's a very active, very angry, very threatening trans lobby on the platform. I've seen repeated threats of violence and worse from trans-identified individuals directed at feminists who want maintain female-only safe-spaces. These posts are rarely taken down and the community will often rally against the "TERFs" being threatened ("Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists").

I know one woman who'd posted about keeping changing rooms for females separated on a sex basis. Her employer and college were contacted repeatedly by a pair of people who said she was spreading hate-speech online. Their goal seems to have been to have her fired. These same people had been making threats of violence against her, culminating in a rape threat. At this point the police became involved and I'm not sure how it's since been resolved.

Obviously this is a tiny minority of people but it's a tiny minority that often aren't actively censured or disowned by the larger community, and whose extreme views are reinforced by a sympathetic echo-chamber of like-minded people. Some may be "false-flags", but I don't think they're in the majority by any means.

There is hardly scarcity in art now, though. Not as a whole. If you like a particular style, you can usually find it at an affordable price so long as you aren't going by "famous" or "brand name".

I'll also add that scarcity will be simply built-in. Most folks won't initiate such art - and such art has to be initiated. There will still be a personal selection process going on with a human behind the scenes. Just because the computer can make so many doesn't mean we'll see that many at all. I imagine it will eventually edge out some art forms: Making advertising graphics for movies and print, for example. Making logos. And so on.

Totally agree. In my experience, however, terminal changes occasionally happen but are unusual. Then, of course, there are places like Logan (BOS) where Terminal B has some sort of remote outpost- so even staying in the same terminal but changing gates can be a long haul to the connector because some of the gates are so far away

I'm not sure if you've spent any serious time in the hospital, but most of the night shift seems to be glorified babysitting. The nighttime hospitalist isn't going to do shit, so if you don't have a diagnosis and treatment plan yet, you aren't going to get anything done. He want taking any notes in the exam, just disrupting sleep for nothing.
Ugh. Sometime in the 90s we went to the Maldives and they used one of those beach nourishment devices early in the morning, every couple of days.

When we went scuba diving and swimming the consequences of their auto-dredging/sand spraying contraption were horrific, extensive and obvious to all. The organised diving trip to the local reef was to a mainly dead, slime covered reef.

Talking with the locals, who were the maintenance and wait staff, made it plain we'd chosen the "wrong" island for experiencing the Maldives.

It was that holiday and the stupidity we saw that significantly changed our environmental awareness and views.

This is correct. .NET Standard as the name implies is the standard by which each framework tries to match. If you make any libraries that are .NET Standard compatible they will run everywhere. They used to have "Portable Class Libraries" but that was a mess. Also .NET Standard wasn't as good till recently thankfully. The earlier days were a mess since not everybody (framework) supported certain things.

That's only the case if you add a DEFAULT value for the new column. Up until the soon-to-be-released v11 that required updating existing rows. Without a default it's essentially just inserting a single row in a row into an internal catalog table (pg_attribute). With a default in v11, we basically just store the default for a new column out of line, and reference it when the row is read.

In either case a lock has to be acquired on the table, which means if there's a longrunning transaction, you can end up blocking for a while...
No, you are wrong. Electrical current is the mathematical representation of a charged particle moving between two points. The value of the current is directly related to the amount of charge being moved.

As for your "wire" example, you're conveniently ignoring that a single (open-ended) wire isn't a closed circuit and as such there can be no current (and hence no accumulating charge). And if it's a closed circuit, then there are other elements in the circuit that consume or generate charge.
With denoising in place, the inaccuracies manifest as low resolution. (similar to pixellation or blur but not as even)

It's great for YC. If there's a large amount of negative feedback, they can use the excuse that this was an experiment (and the result of their... high integrity) and revert.
It seems plausible that a cloth bag requires a comparable amount of petrochemicals to make than a plastic bag, agriculture is quite fuel intensive and uses a bunch of other nasty chemicals in large amounts, while a few grams of plastic require just a few grams of oil - for me it's hard to tell whether growing sufficient cotton for a single bag (which is quite a bunch of cotton plants) can be done with a few grams of fuel.

Yeah, but those slaves are not the same sort of slave this article is about.

This article is about a specific set of rules enforced by a government, to single out one type of person, for the rest of their life. Indentured servitude should not be equivocated with slavery, which, by contrast, is for life, and was inescapable by law.

For Americans, reducing income disparity, which in turn would allow more money to flow within the US.

For foreign employees, ending a program of indentured servitude that dangles the prospect of citizenship in front of them while providing substandard pay and limited mobility.

Modern nation-state is a racket and oligopoly.

So-called "recognized states" make monumental efforts at disallowing creation of new states and at making citizenship scarce, to help keep their monopoly. This doesn't seem to be in the benefit of Earth's people, and also amount of "unrecognized states" grows year by year. Previously, this backlog could only processed by holding a World War.

It's an elephant in a room and I'm quite surprised I've never seen this idea discussed seriously anywhere.

"charge everywhere on the wire remains constant" - perhaps. But the charge is still flowing, it's still moving at a rate of dQ/t.

What is dQ/t you may ask? It's the time derivative of charge. It's the change in charge over time, the rate of flow of charge.

I=Q/t

Current=Charge/Time

Amps=Coulombs/Second

Are you from the US? Let me remind you that your country (and to a lesser degree other rich countries) often intervene in these poor countries to control politics and maintain their (corrupted) interests.

Do you think all these forced regimes were a force of good for the world?

Do you think they allowed for the honest and proper growth of all these countries?

Or did they cement bullshit ideologies (In my home country some people still cling on to calling any leftist opinion as "communist"),
and corrupted networks of international oligarchs (much like, regrettably, Russia seems to be doing now to the US).

<edit> Oh and let's not forget the stripping and funneling of natural resources to the rich countries </edit>

Corruption is indeed a big problem in poor countries, but it has been re-enforced and maintained by international interests of rich countries again and again and again and again.
