> If Reddit and other similar sites want to make a point, a banner won't be enough. They need to do the unthinkable: Block all access from the EU.

What they need to do is work together in a unified manner like the media and the politicians have done. Instead, they are bickering and fighting against each other while the journalists and politicians form a unified front against freedom and free speech.

> Legislators are relying on a population who is too distracted to care what they're doing.

Exactly. They rely on a lazy populace and of course relentless anti-tech propaganda from news organizations.
Link target also (almost always) make money when visiting the site. They want the publicity from all sources. Nobody small lives on direct traffic.
It's interesting (and a bit disturbing) to see our public agencies embroiled in domestic and international political struggles.

Personally I have no means to determine veracity and don't have a reason to believe anyone who says anything at this juncture. Here's what I do know: there is a lot of money and power at stake and a number of interested parties who would like to sway public opinion, in the US, KSA and internationally.

I believe Trump has had some run ins with the CIA, and them giving him a black eye politically could be a motive. Trump probably has to play nice with KSA, there isn't a practical economic way around that at the moment. MBS also has made a lot of enemies in KSA, many of whom no doubt have incredible means and connections. But really no way to tell what the truth might be. Not sure it matters for me personally other than a disgusted headshake at all involved parties.
According to Wikipedia Reddit had 230 employees 2017, so they are scratching the threshold or are already over it.

i agree that this is a problem in the biosciences as well.

the dead ringer for these groups is a PI who has a reputation for taking on extremely ambitious projects with all sorts of funding sources. typically, the PI is vindictive and controlling in my experience.

but yeah. you can see them from a mile away. they tend to run sweatshop-style labs where everyone is very hard pressed for results. so "results" are produced, whether or not they are real.

fearlessness takes the agency out of it though. courage on the other hand is an affirmative action in the face of danger (and so it's more admirable to me).
What is all this love for middle class welfare? If your dad requires $50k a year in end of life care, why should he be able to leave you a $500k house in the suburbs? I guess it’s unlucky for you if you build up some assets then expensive end of life care wipes it out, but so what? Why do those folks deserve taxpayer support when so many, not even poor people, but median people, never managed to build up any assets at all?

I don’t have any problem with tax dollars helping the neediest, people who would fall below the minimum standard otherwise. I have a huge problem with tax dollars going to help protect the relative financial status and security of middle class families.
You get a reward for doing the chores, so they have to slow down how fast you can do them so you don’t buff forever super quickly. The chores are repetitive: chop wood, carry hay, carry water. So they could be perceived as annoying or as peaceful and relaxing, depending on who is playing.
We are seeing actual progress in science! This is good.
> Public opinion about MBS was quite favorable a few short months ago, and it is this story alone that threatens it.

No, also his prosecution of the war in Yemen.

> By skipping that step and jumping right to PR to help fuel moral indignation in Americans, the CIA is way way way out of bounds.

The US at its best stands up for a free press, and against, for example, authoritarian states being free to murder their critics worldwide.

> Quite likely most senior CIA officials have far more blood on their hands than MBS.

In the light of Saudi Arabia's actions in Yemen, this statement is clearly false.
Yeah, the antivirus recommendation sticks out like a sore thumb, and makes me wonder if anyone with a good background in security vetted the rest of it.
> It's a long time since js needed a good stdlib.

To me this illustrates a fundamental problem that JS has to deal with that is virtually unique in the programming language space: multiple browsers across multiple browser versions. It is incredibly difficult to get all browsers to adopt a "standard library" and even then it takes years for all users to adopt those browsers that support the standard library. Even on top of that, not all browsers implement the standard library properly. It really is a nightmare grown out of competing browsers with users that do not update them enough.

> Maybe because js projects have an order of magnitude more dependencies than a Python/Java/Go, etc project.

This is because JS file sizes matter a lot. We have huge libraries like `lodash` which are like a standard library, but nobody wants to use them because they dramatically increase the filesize of the JS bundle. I would rarely want to bring in lodash for a couple utilities, even with treeshaking and the like because it still dramatically increases bundle size. We have pretty excellent datetime libraries that most people hesitate to use -- like moment.js -- because they are huge. So what's the result? A ton of dependencies with very limited scopes because developers do not want to bring in massive libraries that do everything.

Let's flip to Python. Let's say magically you can run python inside a browser starting tomorrow. The second you bring in a library like `numpy` you're looking at a bundle size of 40 MB, and that's just one dependency. In the JS world that is utterly unacceptable. All the languages you mentioned take advantage of the fact that they can download those libraries to the filesystem and forget about it. JS has to download libraries over the wire, it's a completely different game.

What I'm trying to say is that the JS ecosystem didn't invent a bunch of problems to solve or that the people running the ecosystem are script kiddies. There are very unique problems that need to be solved in this ecosystem that make it different, especially when referencing the three languages you mentioned in your post.

With all of these "JS sucks" arguments I see a severe lack in empathy or even remotely trying to understand why JS has the problems it does.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure which version added it but /etc/installurl is configured to use cdn.openbsd.org during install. Prior to this, I believe /etc/installurl was populated with the mirror you chose during install. That had been around for at least a couple/few versions, IIRC.

FREE CARDING HELP AND CASHOUT SERVICES
Hi

Any site is cardable if you are failing its because of two things. Either your fingerprints or your proxies are wrong. Fingerprints consist of the browser your using, fonts, timezone, screen size, canvas image, etc. Each individual shopper has their own unique fingerprint which sites can recognise. Fingerprints can be bought in `configs` which you can then use on antidetect and also save to return to sites for further purchases as your cookies are saved on it.

The second reason your failing is because your proxies. Each proxy has a score and if it is too high your payment will be declined. You should only use residential proxies supplied by luxsocks.ru. I can provide them if you cant afford registration cost.

I teach for free and offer other services for a shared percentage. Am on ICQ everyday. See u there ;)
Based on safety research [1][2] I’ve read on numerous databases, I’ve learned that there is almost always a big difference between vendor promises and reality. Thus when reading claims of order of magnitude performance gains against one of the most well tested databases in the world, I lean towards the assumption that the gains are due to shortcomings, whether intentional or not.

Citation for the first assertion?

You're making it sound like he just popped in one day and had a sandwich and a chat with the people working there. Your own citation, though, is to "the time he began working at Cetus". The "visitor" NDA there is more like "visit" in the sense of "visiting professor" -- someone who will be there for an extended time, working alongside the other people there.

And your original link to Wikipedia's summary says:

The Stanford lab in which Holodniy worked had been working on developing better HIV tests, and wanted to try the new PCR method, so Holodniy's supervisor had arranged for him to work at Cetus to learn the technique ... [a]fter completing his training at Cetus, Holodniy then returned to Stanford where he and other Stanford employees tested the HIV measurement technique.

If you work somewhere for a while and they give you training in the stuff they do, they're going to want you to keep that confidential and probably want to make claims on anything you develop as a result of what they taught you. You are heavily misrepresenting the word "visitor" to make it sound like he was only there for an office tour or something.
"Slay" is a funny word. I think of it mostly having a connotation of a just person killing something evil. So I could slay a dragon, but not a chicken.

It has connotations of heroism.
> I mean, almost every image posed on reddit is a form of piracy

No it's not. It's called fair use. As long as it is changed or altered in some way as a means of commentary/criticism/etc.

Using your logic, everything is piracy, even "original" content.
So what do we do about big countries that does military and political pressure on smaller countries enforcing their copyright laws? The Pirate Bay comes to mind, as does Kim Dotcom. I'm sure there are more but I'm not that interested in the movie garbage from Hollywood to keep up.

That the EU starts doing copyright law like this is due to pressure and lobbying mainly from USA.

No, I think what people are implying is that commercial licensing of software solves the trust/responsibility aspect of software. With proprietary software, there are legal remedies to malfeasance.

This is common enough that it seems psychology as a whole is more art than science.

It's like alchemy - they noticed some patterns and have some success exploiting them, but the abstractions and explanations they provide are mostly bullshit, so the predictive power is basically 0.

Excellent points. I agree. I think one thing that is very clear is that the CIA should not under any circumstances be acting to promote domestic PR about political events. That is out of scope and was until a few years ago illegal.
Now how is this different from a Russian or Chinese troll factory? All these puppeteers playing political technologists, bother. Are they really thinking this stuff is changing hearts and minds over to the right cause?
But the issue is still major, because the results are nearly always announced with broad applicability. I.e. the headline was "The simple act of smiling can make you happier!" not "The simple act of smiling can make you happier if you are an 18-22 year old college student living in Virginia." Plus, a lot of these explanations seem really statistically dubious. The whole point of applying p-values is to determine the probability that your sample represents population at large. If you did a very poor job picking that sample and extrapolating to a larger population that wasn't warranted, that's a real problem in and of itself.
It needs to be a "tagsonomy" - associate similar traits rather than a strict hierarchy...

George H.W. Bush: War Crimes, Racism, and Obstruction of Justice
Anyone using this ?
Saying ‘I won’t stand for building a system explicitly designed to control and oppress people’ is “whining” and “screaming like privileged babies”?

Have you read the reporting on this? The Intercept described Beaumont, G’s head of ops in China, as intentionally excluding security and privacy teams from key meetings about the project, undermining privacy reviews, and taking whatever measures he could to make Dragonfly a fait accompli with no oversight. One googler says that “[Beaumont’s] ideal circumstance was that most people would find out about this project the day it launched.”

So I’m not sure what choice there would be other than to make these objections publicly. Google management doesn’t want people knowing about this because they understand how bad it looks, and they’re going to great lengths to circumvent the normal processes that would prevent this kind of product from seeing the light of day. My favorite bit was that Dragonfly would blacklist the term “Nobel Prize” from being searched. Is there really an argument that participation in this kind of oppression isn’t morally reprehensible? And if there isn’t, don’t employees who are able have a responsibility to try and prevent it?

Complaining about your company’s vacation policy might be whining, being incensed that the company’s stopping free lunch might be privileged, but speaking out against building the machinery of oppression definitely isn’t.

(Intercept article: https://theintercept.com/2018/11/29/google-china-censored-se...)
UUID is not enough to prevent duplicate resource creation. Consider the following steps: 1. Receive a request with uuid, 2. Persist the fact that system received this request, 3. who or what processes it? Even if you are working off atomic persistence, the resource creation process (the kick-off process) needs to maintain the state that it plucked one off the queue or table, atomically update the state in persistence as it creates the resource somewhere else and log the successful creation of this resource as yet another entry in the persistence store. This way, requests that exceed their SLA can be retried and the downstream systems must act with correct idempotent behavior in order for all of this to work correctly in the presence of failures.

It is all very technically possible, but it goes beyond just a UUID (in other words, UUID is necessary but not sufficient).
I suspect that to the ancient Greeks, math and natural science were not yet separate disciplines. "Geometry" means something like measuring the world. They had to be aware of the relationship between their math and the ability to function as a minimally technological society, surveying land, navigating, and so forth. As I understand it, they believed that math was telling them something deep about reality.

I think turning math into a purely abstract game came later, and we owe our fun to the discipline's more humble origins.
If you have any more than zero experience modelling, Blender offers this and a great number of other tools for modelling, rigging, and animation.

Also, Blender is coming up on a big release which should make it a lot simpler for newcomers to get started. If you are willing to save often, you could just start with the 2.8 Beta now, and you won't have to do any adjusting when it comes out as stable.

So the argument is that running buggy code makes your replication tainted. So ideally experiments replicate everything, meaning part of replication is implementing the code & collecting a dataset. The exact code & dataset aren't suppose to be required for the results: you should be able to replicate the results by substituting your own code & data. When you have a rat maze experiment, it isn't expected that they include a 3d printer blueprint of the maze & genomes of the rats involved

Or, more succinctly, code & data are left as an exercise for the reader

likely you would breed them to the point they create milk and then crush and strain the results, repeating in huge batches. Industrialized farming has many traits some would find distasteful if they understood it.
Agreed. I think all fields should require pre-registration, where studies are announced before they are run to help counter the positive-results bias. Still not a 100% fix (I could imagine a lot of studies that look like they'll show no effect then move into the "oops, nevermind, I knocked over the test tube" variety), but certainly better than what we have now
Research is often funded by firms that want the study to serve as a “scientific” basis for the efficacy of a product or service. Experiments that cannot be replicated are meaningless. That standard should not be compromised.
Your story sounds like what I have seen, but biology is not a "hard science".
SportSpot – Robinhood for Sports
Hey everyone,

I'm working on mobile app where we create a stock market out of sports teams. Rather than betting on a game, you invest money into a team and based on how the team performs (wins/losses), the stock would go up or down.

A more detailed example would be if the Warriors pool (all investors in Warriors) is $2000, and Celtics pool is $2000, and the two teams play, and the Warriors lose, Celtics shareholders would get 1/82 (because there's 82 games) of the Warriors pool. This 1/82 would be distributed to shareholders based on how much percentage of the Celtics each person owns. You could buy or sell stocks throughout the season and everyone would be liquidated at the end of the season.

20k rounds at 2 minute rounds is under 1000 hours. I would expect anyone that played CS1.6 or CSS seriously to have that on de_dust2. Probably many have played 20k de_dust2 matches too.

Pretty sure I had well over 1k hours on de_dust2, de_nuke in practice/competition games alone (not public), and I considered myself a casual clan player.

EDIT: seems rounds were shorter than I remembered
Why would anyone pay you for linking to your site? Presumably you can charge money for the content, solicit donations on the site or run ads.
You would use PUT in the instance where you have the same id (in other words, the same resource representation/URL), and PUTs should be idempotent, meaning that you can re-attempt creation multiple times without side effects.

POSTs should not be idempotent. It shouldn't be expensive to generate a new ID, so you can just return the new ID/URL and then the client can check to see if/when that ID is created.

An important factor in REST is that it moves state processing to the client. The clients need to track transactions, not the server. The servers don't have a concept of a session like old-school web apps did. Any state (like an ID that was just created) should be tracked on the client.

Either a 202 Accepted for that ID resource that's not yet created, or a 4xx level error (4xx mean 'retry, this is not a permanent failure') such as 423 Locked could be appropriate while you are actually generating that resource.
