> Not at all necessarily - this is what allyship is all about.

That doesn't really work. It means that you have to disguise support for your cause by spending most of your resources to support several other causes which may themselves already have more support than yours.

Moreover, "mix your money into a pool of money from other people that then goes where you want it without anyone being able to tell who sent what where" is basically how money laundering works. If that is allowed then you might as well abandon the pretense of tracing the money to begin with, because the "bad guys" will just do the same thing.

> Some funding sources may be illegal, and I would hope that tracing advertising to foreign intelligence agencies would do something to discredit it.

That is still basically an ad hominem attack. If the Russians get hold of Clinton's emails and release them, the fact that it was the Russians releasing them doesn't do much to disprove that she wrote them.

Moreover, if the funding source is a foreign intelligence agency, it's not as if they're going to file a disclosure statement saying "Funding Source: KGB" instead of using the name of a cutout. You have to prove it was them using some other means than what they disclosed, which makes the disclosure requirement pretty useless at catching the bad guys while still imposing real costs on people who are not doing anything wrong.
It's not that rare, especially when viewed as a subtype of overall IBD. All in all Autoimmune diseases affect between 20 and 50 million people in the US alone
That part also left me kind of shocked. Not collecting taxes is one thing, but paying money to companies is another thing completely.
I always thought it was from the patch date. As I understand it there are 1-days, and 2-days, where people rush to make exploits for released patches to capitalize on the lag time between patch availability and wide deployment (and also zero-days which were recently patched), which is why zero-day denotes that there has been no time since a patch is available (since there isn't one). So, I would say this was a zero-day up until the point Chrome released a patch, and as of now it's some low X-day.
Blog – Quirky DIY Projects to Make This Spring
> These guys are not regulated. There is no transparency. There are no external auditors. There is no control.

But that's a feature, not a bug, at least according to the crypto people. But, so far, all they have managed to do is rediscover lessons about the need for regulation, oversight and accountability that the financial industry has learnt decades or even centuries ago.
> They are not only intelligent and sensible, but also often exploited by the hierarchy and underpaid.

They are so intelligent that they submit themselves to all of that when they probably have better options...?
I know this is just a small part of what you're saying, but you don't have to use label glue. I use clear packing tape to both tape the box shut, and tape/cover the label.

But you're still right. No matter how easy Amazon makes it to ship a return, its still easier to return in person. The only exception is if you're not already going to that store, or don't have a car to go back to the store. I could see Amazon's hybrid in-person/online return options being the best of both worlds.
> I really wish there was a paid social media service that everyone used. I would gladly pay $5-$10 a month for something that didn't sell my data.

There was App.net, which attempted to be a fee-based better Twitter, but of course not everyone used and eventually shut down.

The only way to have a social network that everyone uses and is fee-based, would be to take one of the free ones and start charging...but then everyone would leave.
I'm about to use Flux.jl for my next project.

I have previously tried using TF but it was super painful so I used Keras instead.
I've not used Facebook in any personal capacity but the same thing happened to Twitter, especially in the speed department. Twitter is so slow now that I don't use it.
What if one person on antidepressants frequently visits most rooms in the building? I don’t see how we extrapolate from doorknobs to people.

Exactly. Everyone's leaving Facebook for Instagram, so at the end of the day, basically nothing is changing.
English isn't the author's first language from the feel of it.
> Apps need it to determine where to place elements.

Could they hide the actual window dimensions from website javascript by only allowing a special kind of sandboxed function to access it? The website's code only really needs to do arithmetic on those values, so the browser could deny access to the actual values and force the code to manipulate them symbolically.
Anyone know if this is a solid-state unit?

I've heard Velodyne has a new solid state array in the works, but no idea how it compares to something like this. At CES this year there were quite a few vendors with various flash LIDAR tech.
That's exactly the circumstance.

Found this one from upcounsel; https://www.upcounsel.com/advisory-agreement and another one from Founder Institute; https://fi.co/fast

Will check if they'll do the job for now. Thanks for the tips and pointers!
Yes, the KHTML base for the rendering engine was started back in 1998, so C++ was a fine choice then. It's grown up as a code base significantly since then.
Not accurate. You can trace the life of a particular 'coin' value -- which is generated in the coinbase reward in a block and spent later on in a UTXO (unclaimed transaction output). We like to pretend that bitcoin is fungible, but it strictly is not; You can trace the life of every 50, 25 and now 12.5 Bitcoin from birth to currently unspent. They all get mixed, so it can be difficult.

Also, what you are describing is the so called 'account' model -- used by Ethereum, EOS, etc. Bitcoin is a 'utxo' model, which allows specific inputs/outputs to be traced.
It's their strong customer and product focus. I answered in more detail in another thread:

Venlafaxine (Effexor) costs 20c a dose for generic versions. Inthe US, where drugs are expensive. Under 10c (euro cents) here. I doubt the industry is TOO excited about ‘shackling’ people to it.
Teach in a CS and Design Bootcamp in Palestine
I don't think your analogy is very good. it's true that many (maybe even most) people have secrets that they would be embarrassed to share with their friends, family, or coworkers. if you asked them whether they would be okay with letting some stranger who they would never meet look through their phone, they might not do it for free, but I bet a lot of people would do it for $5-10.
Follow-through.

Google is infamous for this sequence of events, time and time again:

1. We made this great new thing that's gonna change the way you verb! Hope you enjoy it!

2. (1-5 years of product stagnation)

3. Hey, thanks for the all the good times. We're closing the thing at the end of the year.

Amazon (for all their warts) is much more adept at keeping customer experience in their crosshairs.
>>These platforms may unlock new potentials within our cities and lives. They’ve definitely generated huge fortunes for a very small number of people. But mostly, they’ve served to make our lives marginally more convenient than they were before. Like so many other parts of the world tech has built, the societal trade-off, when fully calculated, seems as likely to fall in the red as in the black.

People who work in the "servant" (aka service) industry using platforms like Uber are happy to have the opportunity.

Giving people more work options is good, not bad. This idea that letting suppliers and consumers compete in a free market leads to a "race to the bottom" is an old trope that has been around since at least the time of Marx (Marx himself claimed that free market exchange would lead to the impoverishment of workers as a result of mechanization).

The reality, as confirmed by economists and demonstrated by statistical evidence, has always been exactly the opposite: real wages have steadily increased over the last two centuries, meaning people are forced to work fewer hours to meet their basic needs, and have more time to do what they genuinely want.

Even in a perfectly free market, overcoming the challenges of organizing a complex economy to raise the standard of living is a daunting task, strewn with the carcasses of dead startups, and years of sacrifice in funding and building out businesses to test new models, and in maintaining and administering established businessses to provide people with the goods/services that let them live their lives.

We don't need to add to these difficulties with paternalistic restrictions on private property and free exchange rights motivated by bad ideas like the author's.
I think it comes down to how they handle success at a smaller scale and tend to prioritize for their higher value experiments. I think the better example, on the other side of Google would be Apple, where almost all priority is in the Phone first, Tablet second, everything else after.

For google, you have one line of business than generates billions in revenue and another that generates a few million in profit, in the larger company, it's not likely to gain traction, where in another company it might be larger than the rest of the company.
> Be aware that printk output is no longer time-sorted. Actually, it never was, but now you see the real timestamps. This seems strange at first. [0]

It seems behaviour relying on printk to be time-sorted was relying on behaviour that wasn't actually the case. It's just being spelled out in this patch-set.

> According to the official release notes, this vulnerability involves a memory mismanagement bug in a part of Chrome called FileReader. That’s a programming tool that makes it easy for web developers to pop up menus and dialogs asking you to choose from a list of local files, for example when you want to pick a file to upload or an attachment to add to your webmail.

It sounds like the bug occurs interacting with external code, win32 or equivalent. Even if chrome were written in a "safe" language this section would likely be in unsafe block.
>The social network hasn't had any interesting feature added to it in the last couple of years.

If I recall, correctly, the last major feature (read: that had any fanfare) was when they added the ability to have hi-res photos (and more of them), which was timed with the release of the Transformers movie? So, yeah, it's been a hot minute since they did anything substantial.
>90% of us do, or at least that's what I'd reasonably guess.
There are governments that can knock you over the head and take your wallet right after you unlock it.
I agree with you completely.

Instagram is social McDonalds. Quick gratification from pretty pictures of friends doing cool shit, ranked so that the prettiest friends appear on your newsfeed first.

Try putting a serious post on Instagram, nobody will see it and it will fall flat.

Meanwhile I put out a post on Facebook asking for help (after my house was burgled) and had about 15 people messaging me within a couple of hours willing to come around to my place and lend me a hand.

You can't even share links on Instagram, so I'm sure that the GoFundMe that was set up to help cover the money that was stolen from me would've gotten a lot less money than it has.

I like Instagram as an entertainment platform for looking at cool photos, and for posting the occasional photo myself (never of myself, always landscape of event photography), but it's absolute trash as a social media platform.
every satoshi can be traced from birth until unspent. There are most certainly individual satoshi. they live in UTXO's.
This is awesome. Other things I'd like to see added directly to Firefox are things like Ad and script blocking, HTTPS everywhere, and maybe something like a Tor button so that I don't have to rely on third parties for these critical privacy features.
An anecdotal story about this - a couple of years ago I built a paid, ad-free privacy-focused social network, did several Show HNs for it and even here, in a community that seems quite receptive to the idea in principle, there was extremely low interest in it.

I got probably 50 sign-ups over a few Show HNs, no more than 4/5 upvotes and comments on the most well-received Show HN, and those who came in just posted one or two test posts, found obviously that nobody else was on there and left never to be seen again. Obviously none converted to a paid account (you could get 10 connections for free then afterwards pay $2/month).

Bootstrapping any social network, let alone a paid one, is hard. But I did try :-)
D was released in 2001, KHTML in 1998, it's like suggesting they should have written vim in java.
I have to think people are deriving some value from it, but I cannot imagine what it is.

I know a couple of people who don't have any Facebook "friends" connected to their accounts, but they follow brands and companies they're interested in keeping up with.

It's sort of like RSS, but with more companies on board.
> If you whip out your smartphone while I have a conversation next to you, even in a private or semi-public space, and my records get send somewhere without my knowledge, did you just violate my privacy?

Yes. Privacy is everyone's responsibility. And I say this working in the digital marketing space.

> If my boss has a speaker on his desk and I can't reasonably expect to be listened to, but he records me anyway, how do I prevent this?

You have many options, the most extreme is by not working for people who put you in situations like that. But maybe having a talk would suffice. "Hey sorry I feel like my personal liberty is being violated here, I would prefer not to be recorded without my consent" If your boss insists, then you have the choice of not revealing anything you are not comfortable with being recorded all the way again to the extreme case of replying to everything your boss says with some same crafted response, as an example, "I would love to reply/answer, but not while being recorded".

> Privacy needs to be understood as a social good, not as an individual right.

100% emphatically absolutely not if not for the simple reason that this is contrary to American liberty and where our rights come from, and once you go down that hole, there is no going back.

> Privacy needs to be drastically expanded to have meaning for connected people in a social environment.

One of my favorite writers on this exact topic is Daniel J Solove. (He's the author of one of my favorite papers of all time "I've got nothing to hide and other misunderstandings of privacy" which is now subsequently a book called "Nothing to Hide")
I do hope 4-star works out. It's worked great for me a few times for last minute decent gifts (including for a kid and difficult to buy for relative).
At least back when I was online dating, some platforms let you filter by education level, which is probably correlated with SAT score.

I will admit that I chuckled when I read the suggestion of SAT filtering, but now that I think about it that's mostly because I'm in my mid-30s now so SATs would not be an up-to-date indicator for me. But if I were 17, education level would be a useless filter, and I might use SAT instead.
To me, Anna Karenina is really mostly notable for having the second-greatest opening line in all literature.
It looks like the charts default to 500x300. It would be nice to be able to pass a parameter specifying the size of the image returned. Then I could set the width of the <img/> to be half of that to get it to show properly on retina at an arbitrary size
That wasn't quite my intention initially, but I realized that it was an additional benefit. My initial intention was more to add an extra source, which sometimes has the additional benefit of having a marginally different perspective.
I don't think I would recognize Alex on the street anymore. My he's changed. Wow, 78 years old.

Also it feels weird to see him announce this in his game show host persona. Maybe that's how he copes or owns his own destiny.
What's the accounting for people who still have Facebook accounts but realistically never or very infrequently check them?

I've had no interest in using my Facebook since it became Babybook, and maybe I'll poke at it once a month to see if I've missed someone's huge life event (you know, other than people having babies)... but that's it - I just have no more interest in surrendering my thoughts, photo copyrights and what's left of my privacy there anymore.
Tax free at receipt is great. It should be tax free at exercise, too, and only taxed when the shares are sold. It's asinine to get taxed on something you cannot realize any actual gain from.
I think Mathematica uses the GNU multiple precision arithmetic (gmp) library itself in many cases.
Cyber wasn't a thing when the NSA started. When its predecessors came about, the state of the art was intercepting telegrams (more or less).
Craigslist was tainted by the unsavory element of prostitution and stolen goods and isn’t a resource that I seek out.

IME, Facebook Marketplace is far from free of scams and stolen merchandise. That's why some people call it Fencebook.
Are you also going to download every resource listed in every @media section of the CSS regardless of screen size?
The common solution is to, you know, not fill your database. Old data should be archived whenever possible.

If you really need to keep around more data than can fit in a single server, the PostgreSQL wiki has some documentation to that effect [1], with PostgreSQL-XL [2] and Citus [3] being specific examples of systems which can shard a Postgres database across multiple nodes.

A more DIY alternative to the above is to leverage PostgreSQL's support for foreign data wrappers [4] to include results from other servers. The cool thing about this approach is that the other servers don't even have to be PostgreSQL servers; hell, they don't even have to be SQL, nor do they even have to be servers.

The great thing about most/all of these solutions is that you don't have to worry about them upfront; you can roll them out when you're closer to actually hitting practical/theoretical limits. No need to prematurely optimize :)

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I was on 75 mg of venlafaxine (effexor) for several months to a year. Then my insurance ran out. I thought I had an additional month worth of doses, but it turned out that I only had a few doses left. I basically ended up going almost cold-turkey. I basically spent an entire week either sleeping or reading fiction in bed. The brain zaps and nausea felt terrible. I think I am lucky that I can sink that much into fiction and I won't notice the passage of time. After about a week I had to attend an event and during it I felt fine.

I have to say though that venlafaxine didn't really do anything positive for me, nor did the previous SSRIs. I still got the side-effects and withdrawal symptoms when I missed a dose though. I assume they don't work for me because that wasn't my problem in the first place. My own guess is that my issues are from ADHD, but I've only intermittently had insurance since then so I haven't been able to find out.

My experience wasn't like yours, but the withdrawal was terrible. I've read about it online and it seems that many other people seem to have found withdrawal from venlafaxine to be really bad.

It's not solid state because it's moving. Solid state usually uses an IR flash technology. :)
You're both wrong for different reasons.

0day refers to vulnerabilities. t0 is when a vulnerability is discovered. t1 is either when the vendor issues a patch OR it is exploited and t2 is when >50% of vulnerable systems have applied the patch.

tl;dr: something is 0day once it's discovered. It is no longer 0day once an action is taken with the vulnerability.

Firefox primary on MacOS and windows. Chrome only for work related tasks. Firefox or Safari on iOS, depending what I’m doing. Firefox in Debian.

You can donate to Firefox. Not to chrome.
An EV is supposed to be much, much simpler than even a decades old ICE car. Aside from the tech inside the batteries, it should be pretty easy to tinker with.
Back when Chrome was getting started there were no memory safe languages that did not come with huge downsides.

Now one could argue for Rust, but let's not pretend that C++ was a bad choice. C++ was the overwhelmingly best choice at the time.

> Surely "LEAST" would be doing only non-invasive sensing, and rescue digs? Many digs still aren't.

You're nitpicking and you know it.

>> digging test pits and strips, to avoid complete site exposure

> And oh, the care taken when digging and refilling pits, to minimize, for instance, the impact on the site microbiome... err, the site microwhatsit? Picture the careful brain surgeon, picking out his dropped bits of pepperoni and cheese, licking them off his greasy fingers, patting the cranial flap down, and beaming proudly.

This is a shit comparison, and you know it.

> Archeologists celebrating their standard of care... while being largely unfamiliar with even the current states of research in genomics, remote sensing, computer analysis, robotics, and much else, let alone their forseeable futures... Yes, jewler's pics are better than miner's pickaxes, careful troweling than careful dynamiting, and hand-held DLSR visual-light photos better than hand-held sketchbooks... but by how much? Compared to what's coming over the next hundred years?

This part is kinda incomprehensible but it seems like you're being critical of how archaeologists apply innovative tools and methods in their work. You don't know, however, that archaeologists are arguably the most interdisciplinary researchers you can imagine, and use methods from all sorts of other fields to address questions of archaeological concern. There is (in my experience, anyway) lots of care to apply these methods in ways that are ethical, in ways that are respectful towards local communities, and in ways that meet the practical constraints that archaeology faces (rugged terrain, slow pace, low funding, limited timeframe, non-reproducible data collection, coordination of methodologically-diverse projects, etc). No tool is recognized to be useful in its own right, it has to be adapted to suit the circumstances and goals of archaeological projects.
This is an example of US economic dynamism. In France or even the UK people would be saying, "How can we let such a large, profitable company lay off people so easily?"
