Am I the only person who found that entire presentation awkward? That guy just seemed...uncomfortable up there.
Guns are weird because to be effective they typically need to be rifled. You can obviously make a shotgun with some home depot pipe but the pressure bearing components of a gun can't be 3D printed. Even with 3D metal printing, you still need to machine the parts to final tolerances and your average garage setup is not remotely capable of rifling a barrel. Hence, when you hear about people 3D printing an AR, they're making the lower receiver which is both a trivially simple part, largely non load bearing, and also due to US law, the legal "gun" part of the gun. In most other countries the pressure bearing parts are the controlled items as those are the hardest to manufacture. In the US you can just buy an upper with the bolt, barrel, and chamber without a background check and manufacture the controlled lower however you want to obtain a complete rifle.

I guess this is all a long winded way of saying the 3D printing panic is both right and wrong but neither side is looking at it in a factual way.
In theory. I know plenty of Christians who would agree with his statements about this world being fallen, but who still try to move their country towards a Christian pseudo-utopia where their own values are mandated on others. Of course we can't know whether the author falls into that camp or not.

EDIT: To be clear, I also know plenty of Christians who do not try and impose their values on society.

Clearly it's not solved by preloading, since an old list invalidates the preload, and not every site supports HSTS, and I imagine they would have individual expire times (but perhaps not as a preload)

Also, does that site even work?

It's not a matter of legitimacy (which is a social construct) but of foundation. Russell, Brouwer and Hilbert believed that mathematics must be based on a solid philosophical foundation so that it leads to some "Truth." I am not saying this is the only way to think about the philosophy of mathematics -- in fact, my original comment said just the opposite -- but it was very much at the center of the mathematical world in the early decades of the 20th century, and is still a matter of debate among logicians. The philosophy of mathematics is a deep and complex subject. It does not seek to mathematically derive theorems from mathematical axioms, but to derive mathematical axioms from philosophical underpinnings -- whether they are physical reality, some Platonic reality, or even common sense. Logicians don't think the subject is silly at all, and if you're interested in learning more about it, the SEP link I provided above is a great place to start.
> Feudalism and slavery were awful, but don’t come close to the concentrated human misery inflicted by the utopian projects of the 20th century.

By that I assume you're largely referring to the Soviet Union and China during the cultural revolution? Yeah sure, those were bad, but it's hard for me to say whether they were particularly better or worse than slavery (at least from the perspective of a slave).

Moreover, I think that the assumption that those 20th century projects failed because they were utopian is unsourced. I think I could equally validly claim that they failed because of a fundamental failure to understand basic economics and/or a deep lack of empathy or realism on the part of national leadership.

1. Find online degree at REAL university.
2. IF they don't let you challenge the final exam, then let the videos run on a separate machine while you work. THEN take final.

That doesn't /seem/ right - executive can /veto/ a law before it is passed, but I don't believe they are given the ability to not enforce that law once it's been passed. That is effectively creating law, and is reaching into the legislative branch, still.

The roads are engineered wrong. If you design a road for 40, then set the speed limit at 25, it's not going to work. You have to re-design the road for the 25 MPH speed limit. There are several ways to do this, and they are well known.

Of course cities are chronically underfunded for infrastructure, so this is really hard to do in practice.

It absolutely does because then you have the money.

It might not make an individual share worth more (because of dilution), but it 100% absolutely makes the total value of the company go up.
> They actively encourage seeing it the home teams way

I can't speak to the rest of your comment, but this might not be "actively encouraged" since it is universal in every sport. Every single study that I have seen on sports refs shows an inherent bias in favor of the home team. It is just human nature for your actions to be subconsciously swayed by how you know the 10,000+ people around you will react. This is one of the many things that makes up home field advantage in sports.
We don’t allow people selling certain homeopathic remedies to make certain medical claims while selling the product. So we do regulate speech.
You would have expected Apple to test its keyboard designs in the same way - we know how that turned out.

Ironically - if that's the word - I think a larger laptop format device with a tactile folding hinged screen would be more interesting than this enormo-phone.

This device will probably sell moderately in the nouveau Asian markets, but I doubt it's going to be a storming success, or the template for the next generation of devices.

It has status value that other phone style devices do not have. I am not into showing off with fancy watches, shoes and having to have the latest iPhone but I understand plenty of people are.

Now there are lots of people that could benefit from this because you can have bigger letters on the screen. So it is far from a vanity product, like the latest and greatest iPhone it does have genuine utility.

There is also a class of people who are vastly richer than everyone else, you see them drive in stupidly expensive cars. For this type of customer the $$$$ of this gadget is not a consideration.

This gadget won't be 'displaying three apps at a time' any more than your desktop has three windows open side by side on it. It matters not about the keyboard, this is for consuming content with big type. Everyone has a regular phone already, this will sell well as soon as they can get the production volume up.
There is stuff that passes my credibility filter for "probably true", and it comes up early in the web searches, specific statements about specific policies from first-hand sources of people in the relevant positions in the cold war, or at least I've seen no challenges that they aren't who they say they are.

The people/entities who would publicize this and make it "officially official" have every motive in the world not to, so you're not going to find something like a 60 Minutes report on it or anything. (I think that for all the "officially official" sources casually commit lies of commission all the time, their true power is in the lies of omission.)

I have to apologize for the vagueness, but the HN gestalt would not particularly care to examine the details of this matter too closely. It would result in... nontrivial cognitive dissonance.
> where the dust or whatnot could be left on their hands to be ingested or inhaled in some manner.

This by far would be my number one concern. Proximity doesn't seem to be much to worry about (238-Uranium has an alpha decay and doesn't travel far in air). But inhaling or ingesting radioactive material completely changes the danger level.

> Natural radiation sources like these are all over the place in Arizona.

Or... Grand Central Station. But... you have to consider context, which a lot of reporters don't. Consider this quote.

"It's worth noting that if Grand Central Station were a nuclear power plant, it would be shut down for exceeding the maximum allowable annual dose of radiation for employees."[0]

Yikes! We can trace down the dosage level to 120mrem/yr[1] (1.2mSv), which we can indeed see is on the order of average dosages for radiation workers [2] or 1/20th of the allowable dosage! BUT we can look at [2] more and see that 100mSv is "Lowest annual level at which increase in cancer risk is evident (UNSCEAR)" (threshold model).

So when I see articles like this I'm always a tad hesitant to even read them. They frequently focus on the first part of the last paragraph and give no indication to what these things mean. Or even worse, are misleading like that gizmodo article (I would in fact call this dangerous reporting). Radiation quotas are purposefully (and I agree with this) put to be far below what one might also call "safe" (I'd _upper bound_ "safe" as <100mSv/yr but think most would agree 20mSv is "safe"). Yeah, we should pay attention and not expose ourselves to radiation unnecessarily, but let's also be realistic about the danger (especially when we're in such dire need if we're going to solve our climate problem).

That's a pretty good summary. There are many different sets of approximations and simulation techniques that make different trade-offs of accuracy/scale.

They're essentially using outputs of a higher-fidelity model to tune the free parameters of a lower fidelity model, and using ML to explore the parameter space efficiently.

The higher fidelity model is itself still an approximation, but there's a lot of interest in this approach and quite a few groups doing work like this targeted towards various material properties, since there just isn't nanoscale experimental data to train models that depend on nanoscale material features.
Completely true. I challenge a downvoter to reply with any pro sport without confirmed fixing, PED use, and predatory hiring.
There have been prosecutions under this law, but they're remarkably difficult to find. The UK press has a weird habit of not reporting actual terrorist convictions in very much detail.
In the US it is interesting to compare the AAA to the NRA, in terms of the amount of lobbying they've done over the decades to avoid serious repercussions in driving accidents and as much as possible shift blames to pedestrians, including the long interesting weird history of creating the "crime" of jaywalking.

Lisp shines for codegen and creating DSLs and new control structures, but if you're just writing out tedious imperative code, it isn't really better than Python. Its lack of popularity means it can't offer as many libraries waiting to be reused.
So they will be able to engineer it to fail exactly around the time the next Samsung phone comes out.
I should have said speech instead of ideas. I think it’s clear from what I wrote what I was getting at. All societies regulate speech. I don’t know anyone who thinks speech should never be regulated.
Considering the first iPhone was $600, $728 in today's money, and did basically nothing. I don't see how $1000 is completely unreasonable. Video games still cost exactly the same(without inflation), with 100x the budget, as they did 40 years ago, and people still bitch. People love blowing things out of proportion.
Seriously. Permutes get harder as you scale - VBMI on CNL is an indicator that 64-way is pretty good but it's still considerably more expensive than 4 16-way permutes on the same architecture.

There's a reason that gather is hard to do; I think if you rocked up and asked the architecture guys for a gather that was competitive with small-scale permute they would reply with the time-honored Intel putdown ("You are overpaid for whatever it is you do").
Yes, all the more reason to disallow it in the standard so it is caught by the linter: green/mediocre programmers write a lot of code (which you most likely use).

You can also add "tired programmers" to your list of easily-confused programmers, and that pretty much covers everyone at some point.

The comment is so horrible I have to post it. I highly appreciate your comment about the ceddit trick.

>The real DevOps scam : ( must read) Few months ago I was contacted by a person on linked in from India Hyderabad he said I could work remotely for few hours and will get good wages, asked for my resume and then he called me on my phone and said I need to provide job support to Indian students in US who are working in IT Companies on their job tasks... This confused me and I was curious to know everything about it.
He then set up a conference call and here I meet this girl named V ( a finance student from India in US) she shared her screen and said she needs help with a Python script to update DNS entries... She was reading the Jira and I got to know she does not know computers beyond uploading selfies to insta. She gave me access to their dev account aws keys and per jira story I wrote the script for her.. And later guided to push to git... Here she was paying to the guy who found me on linked in and that guy will pay be weekly.. 200 usd per week.
More than the money I wanted to understand what's the whole scam about. Later in few conversations with V I got know that she is on a student visa and does not know anything about IT.. She paid a job consultancy to get her a job who set up a fake interview and got her the job of a devops Engineer and her route to stay in the job was through paying someone in India to do her job.... She was working for a really big company :) as a contracter in NY... Everyday she would go to work and share her screen... I will work remotely on their computer chat with their team mates in slack lol and get money... Later she also got her boy friend through fake interview in the same job and I was doing his job support too .. Lets call him S...
V and S would share their sprint tasks and login credentials with me and I would work them and send it to them via email I did tell them what they Re doing is out right wrong and must quit to which they said they can't get job because they have no real skills and fake interview and job support from India in rampant in US
They said they have several friends who are working as fake engineers...
They both got fired later on and in few months again via fake interviews got the job..
This is happening only with contractor jobs in US .. Let me know if u want to know more
Sure there are. Kernel makes this a bit easier since you have heaps for objects of a given size (which means it's much easier to overlap old structure when you know the size). Browsers (for JS -> native escape) make it a bit easier by allowing you to allocate lots of objects and having pointers everywhere. In many cases you can also spam all over the heap and hope for the best, since allocations are almost always aligned.

I think most browser exploits are actually use-after-free. Check out how simple they can be: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/40946

Fair, but why state it as fact if it's impossible to prove?

>But it does seem fair in response to ask if you can prove, with the same 100% accuracy, that any one of children in the videos identified in the article are being exploited and/or abused?

Also a fair point, and I can provide at least two articles that addressed YouTube removing content involving the exploitation of children in the past. Granted, these aren't "the videos identified by the article", but they're strong evidence that, contrary to OP's claim, children have been exploited on the platform.

Dunno why. Swim diapers are only to keep solid poop from escaping into the water. They aren't at all meant to keep in urine. To keep urine (or liquid poo) from escaping you'd basically need some kind of completely waterproof barrier between the kiddo and the pool water... which would be pretty friggin awkward to wear.

It is very unlikely that such a configuration will perform remotely as fast as a native SIMD implementation, unless there is some truly heroic specialization going on under the hood. Obviously the work is still possible with vector ops, in the same way that it's still possible with scalar ops too. But will it be fast? My guess is no.

The easy solution seems to be to just paint the stripes through the intersections. There's no good reason not to.

I think the need for distinction arises from the fact that nothing in the foundations of radfem that presupposes trans exclusionary ideology (especially considering the evolution of the science of gender).

Trans exclusionary groups are pretty proud of the exclusion in and how it differentiates them from other feminists (or radfeminists for that matter) grouts. So TERF seems pretty apt to me.

Granted Im pretty naturally biased given they'd say I don't exist but the point stands.
