I believe the components are indeed drawn to scale! The cell is a mess, there is virtually no central coordination, just individual molecular signals. A protein gets phosphorylated by a receptor, then its on its merry way till it hits something it interacts with and maybe because it's phosphorylated it activates that thing to do something else, or maybe, luck of the draw it doesn't. It's amazing that it even works, but it does so because billions of years have shaped life to be resilient to chaos. Some context:

Unicellular life is roughly 3.5B years old

Eukaryotic life is roughly 2B years old. It took 1.5B years to figure out how to build and use organelles

Multicellular life is roughly 1B years old. Another billion years to figure out how to coordinate and specialize cells.

Sea sponges, essentially "animals" are 700M years old

Animals that can move around are about 500-600M years old, backbones in animals show up around the same time, then we're off to the races.

This sort of patterning is maybe in the 700-800M year old window. It took billions of years for life to figure this out, you can do a lot by evolving that long.

I find the clarification about cookie walls being out of compliance with GDPR to be a real headscratcher. Here's part of the Dutch authority's FAQs[0] thanks to Google Translate:

"At a cookie wall, website visitors have no real or free choice. It is true that they can refuse tracking cookies, but that is not possible without adverse consequences. Because refusing tracking cookies means that they cannot access the website. That is why cookie walls are prohibited under the AVG."

I find this fascinating. Is there really not a free choice to simply leave the website? A paywall is surely legal. But it is illegal for me to "pay" using something other than money.

Am I allowed to offer users additional functionality in exchange for access to their data?

I'm fairly surprised this comment is at the top right now.

Honestly, while your comment probably isn't entirely wrong, I'd hesitate to say that painting is the kind of activity where a pre-requisite is learning to draw.

The concept of painting is bringing your vision to life on media. Whether that's a scene with obvious shapes or not. There are plenty of art pieces where drawing or knowing how to draw before creating the painting would've been unnecessary.

> In my book, the problem is that you are not allowed to provide a link to your payment website inside your app.

This is especially damaging to small companies. Most people have heard of Spotify, Netflix, Pandora, etc. So it's somewhat natural for them (if not a bit akward) to go to the website if they can't get premium in the app.

But for small companies that connection isn't immediately obvious. In my company for instance, we aren't allowed to put ANY reference to our website in the app (as it relates to purchasing premium). As a result when a user signs up, my only option is IAP. I cannot just assume they will naturally go to the website.
I agree with the vast majority of your post, but..

> Wait, does this person think you can ad-hoc change your kernel version without considering whether your low level and/or kernel specific packages are compatible with it? That's _the point_ of system packages being parameterized on kernel version in NixOS.

Linux has done an amazing job of clearly defining the kernel and userland boundaries while fanatically maintaining (recent) backwards compatibility from a new kernel to an older userland. The kernel and the modules/headers associated with the kernel should be treated the same as any other package, and arguably almost no other package on the system should have a hard dependency against a kernel package. It's entirely reasonable to wish to build a rootfs/userland and ship it to be run under an arbitrary linux kernel you dont control. (i.e. paravirt vms, container images, and devices only supported by a vendor kernel).

Mostly the problem is a) you still need to file taxes, which is complicated even further by being overseas, and b) the US imposes substantial reporting requirements on any foreign bank which serviees its citizens, which leads to a lot of banks simply refusing service to them. When people are willing to spend $2000 (it may be small to those making over $105k, but most people renouncing their US citizenship after moving overseas are not making that much) and give up their citizenship over something which is basically just paperwork, it's got to be pretty bad.

It goes without saying that drawing is a way to represent 3D objects into 2D space.

Once the fundamentals are good - i.e. "accurately reproducing a 2D perspective projection of an anatomically correct 3D horse from any angle", you could develop your own style, make caricatures, cartoons, hyperrealism, figurative-expressionism, etc... You can have the freedom knowing that your skeleton (figuratively speaking) is correctly placed in 3D.
It's all subjective in that most people who want to draw or paint, likely have completely different ideas of what being good at that is.

"Drawing from the right side of the brain" is basically just a brain hack to allow a person to essentially trace what is in front of them. To some people that might be the goal. To make a reasonably accurate copy of what is in front of them. For others they may want to be able to draw an accurate picture of something from their head. Others may want to create wild stylistic abstractions. The original post referenced impressionism. In that case a more informed knowledge of color and composition might be more helpful.

Personally, as someone who has spent my entire life drawing(and a chunk of it painting) I cringe at that advice to learn from that book. I have read it and it will definitely help someone to render and accurate version of a photograph or object in front of them. But it really boils down to a shortcut as opposed to fundamental learning. Its like teaching math with just a series of steps to get the answer without teaching the underlying fundamentals of what is happening. In the short term you'll test well, but in the long term your growth will be stunted if you do not also learn the concepts involved.

Hope that is a bit more clarification. And with all that said, for some people that book might be wonderful. I do think it is well written and I did enjoy it and I imagine others will as well. Its a fun read and set of exercises. Just wanted to give you a bit more perspective on the opinions presented.

With that said, the general advice given in what you are replying to is way over the top. No one needs to spend 6 months drawing cones in space. That smells like your typical exaggerated internet advice that tends to prevent people from taking the first steps.

No one seems to be claiming the "anonymous call" was made up, as far as I can tell.

The "call" as such wasn't made up -- apparently Tripp did make a call the company, and in a state of considerable emotional agitation.

Rather, it's the part about threatening to shoot the place up that was (according to the local Sheriff involved) basically made up (by the company, in its reporting to the press).

2) They are putting on steam largely because of the USA's shit healthcare system

I know both sides of this. Obamacare was truly a boon to me when I was an "independent consultant." We in the USA need to value our liberty. But if you want people to value liberty, you first have to keep them safe from Kafkaesque nightmares which involve their bodies not working correctly and not getting fixed. Basically, it works just like hunger.

In particular, in the present day US, the societal cohorts which create media seem to be comprised of 1) out of touch left-leaning upper class people or 2) people with so few resources they are at risk. Together, they form a larger faction. This is a recipe for a society that stops tells itself it wants freedom and changes into a society that wants to take care of people. (1 are people who identify as those doing the taking care of, and 2 are people who would be taken care of.)

If you want people who appreciate and take care of their freedom, you have to make sure they're not hungry and sick. History shows us this clearly.

As someone who paints I ask myself the same question on how to play piano. I'm told the same thing I tell everyone else - practice.

Obviously practice fundamentals - understudy drawing, form, color, composition etc.

One thing I think a lot of people think is when a painter looks at his work he'll say "this is a badass painting" when in reality everyone like myself I met is it usually ends up as a collection of compromises versus what I wanted to achieve :)

Personally depending on the medium invest in moderate to good supplies. Don't waste money on that one off brush, you'll find better utility getting a good round brush from 0-5, a nice flat and a sturdy fan brush. One thing to help with experimentation is invest more in palettes and newsprint paper or cardboard.

If you're into digital I don't know what to tell you. I desire the feedback of my hand on the brush and the way the hairs course through the surface spreading the medium. However I'm sure it provides as much relaxation and meditation as painting the conventional way it does.

Godspeed :)
No. Do it OpenSSH style. At first every identity is unknown. Then you get a mail signed by a key tied to an identity (on whatever keybase), then as you email each other your trust grows.

Sure, maybe you're trusting a scammer more and more, but at least when you get a new email from a scammer that's trusted by millions (let's say by more than one EV cert signed the key that signed the email), then it's pretty sure you're just being scammed by Apple to further their regular bottom line.
I'm pretty sure the wealthiest go to the US because they have some of the best doctors, and they can afford to pay for it?

There are private clinics here if you have money and don't want to wait, but of course it doesn't cover very specialized things. When I wanted to see a dermatologist, I would have had to wait 1-2 months for my first appointment in the public sector. I went to a private clinic and paid 200$ (plus like 75$ each subsequent visits) and was seen in 2 days.

If you have a life-threatening condition, you're not gonna wait months. If they can't do the operation in Canada because of whatever is lacking (including equipment or personnel), they can send you to the US and the government will pay for it.

You're neglecting the fact that the incentive system in the US is reversed, such that patients are more likely to receive more unnecessary surgeries and have extended hospital stays, both which is dangerous to patients [0].

Also, wealthy persons will travel to a foreign country if that country is like to have a "world-leading" specialist in a certain surgery. Sometimes this place is the US, sometimes it's Canada, sometimes it's the EU.

Furthermore, if you want private care in Canada, you can receive it. I'm not sure any of your points make sense in light of the above.

how so? the production chain is almost as deep. the damage model it's close in detail, and it's not terribly broken (whips anyone?) which should count as far as features go. you can actually caravan, explore people and exterminate faction without being restricted into adventure mode. and when you ask a neighbor for something in the caravan, you get what you asked. weather and climate is much more prominent, including more dangerous event like dry thunderstorm; the storyteller driven game is also quite ahead of seasonal invaders. husbandry is about the same and farming has terrain and light modifiers.

No so much that they are not real issues, but that the doctors don't know of anything they can do to alleviate it.

Indeed, image maps seemed to be the simplest way to implement this, fitting into my goal of reducing the complexity of the content rendered on the web client. I still use CSS, but only in one place (for showing the cached timestamp in the corner). Technically I do use JavaScript, although only for getting the window dimensions, and it is optional.

An absolutely positioned CSS div is an interesting idea, if I recall correctly I actually tried this first, but ran into various problems (with scaling as the page is zoomed in/out, I think) and the image map worked perfectly. area shape="rect" works well as it translates directly from puppeteer's await page $$('a') boundingBox().
There is work being done by a standards committee on a common high level Cypher like language:

https://www.gqlstandards.org

Long term that's maybe a promising target. That's out of scope of pggraphblas now, but like RedisGraph uses GraphBLAS internally, one could implement a Cypher or GQL look alike using the foundational bits of pggraphblas.

Edit: and to answer your actual question, if Cypher, or SQL/GQL for that matter, is "high-level" user experience then the GraphBLAS API experience is sort of aiming for the "mid-level". Still quite technical, but more powerful tools than for "low-level" which would be writing graph algorithms by hand in some procedural language.

One of the key goals of GraphBLAS is this sort of meeting of the minds between the hardware experts and the graph problem solvers. This one page poster kind of sums that up nicely:

Something I can appreciate about Erlang is their dedication to improving the platform and language, without the features ever really feeling "bolted on".

For example, I personally hated the way records were done in Erlang, but in Erlang 17 they added Clojure-style maps to fix that. I hated that in order to do a loop in a lambda, you had to implement a y-combinator, but they fixed that.
That's how the GDPR is designed. I'm not a lawyer or a GDPR expert, but I believe this means that unless your service actually requires a particular type of data collection to function, you're not allowed to make access to that service contingent on that data collection.

http://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/r43.htm

> Consent is presumed not to be freely given if it does not allow separate consent to be given to different personal data processing operations despite it being appropriate in the individual case, or if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance.

In other words, people aren't allowed to sell their data in exchange for services. I suppose the argument is that people are really bad at valuing their own data. They don't know how it can be combined with other datasets and how it might be resold and repackaged and never go away. There are other things people can't legally sell, such as organs, votes and sex, so it's not an entirely brand new idea.
Maybe it's pessimistic, but I also see a profit motive here, the "psychological" CFS treatments have the potential to cut into modafinil/etc recurring profits.

I wouldn't call GDPR "carefully designed" at all. It is ridiculously broad and vague, and so far all implementations (including the cookie warnings all over the internet) are best guesses.
