From my observation, you are being downvoted for politically motivated reasons. I would not expect a discussion of quality or fairness about this topic on this or any other website. Anyone can look at Assange and see in him whatever they want to see, and both the media and politicians have exploited this for six or seven years and the people on this forum really are just like people on any other forum.
I think in the USA is exactly where Trump wants Assange.

It is not good or bad, it is what it is. Unless biographies of females are actively being suppressed, it is simply irrelevant: they are not being created because nobody cares, literally.
"Consent issues" are rape. That's pretty much non-controversial, outside the incel rape fantasy boards.
To see people bash both being female online, and polyamory on a forum like this is pretty disheartening.

IIRC it was like a 17yo hooker or something like that. Nobody is checking a lot lizard's ID. While certainly not something one intends to do it's one of the risks inherent to purchasing those kinds of services. Unintentionally screwing a 17yo that you didn't think was 17 sounds pretty minor to me especially since other countries have laws that put the age of consent much lower than the US.

Edit: Turns out she was 16. My point still stands though.

Yeah, the most important fact for the humanity that they did it, they created the first image of a black hole, is it a man, a woman, a child, a muslim, a white man, what does it even matter?

I kinda hate the recent trend to focus more on gender or race if somebody achieves anything. Look what Morgan Freeman said about racism [0]. Is it really important that she is a woman? Do people think a lot of women can't achieve these things? And if 1 woman achieved this, all women are better than men? Do everybody just expect men to be smarter and if they do something outstanding it's ok, but when a woman does it, it's extraordinary... Why focus so much on this?

In discussions like this we should really focus on the person (and also the team behind her/him, I doubt she could do it alone without the team), not the gender or race or whatever.

I really hope this positive discrimination hype dies out, it doesn't help anybody. Let the best person for the job get the job.

> it goes against how RAII is used in C++

That's an excellent point. To be honest, I think it's a problem with how RAII is used, conflating execution scope and object lifetime in a way that makes "move" a bit of a mess. That's why I prefer explicit "defer" like some languages have. Nonetheless, it's a common and useful enough idiom that breaking it is not something to be taken lightly. Maybe it's not really a solvable problem, given the paths that C++ took years ago, but I'd say "too bad it's necessary" is even more applicable if that's the case.

> Well, I guess that's debatable.

What part of it is debatable? The article clearly states that it is just a notational improvement: there was really no flaw in calculus, it was more a wart in notation. This change would not result in different answers unless the original calculations were done incorrectly.

I'd regard the current notation more like an irregular verb, or something that is spelled differently from how it is pronounced: it's inconvenient to deal with, but everyone adept at calculus knew about it and how to deal with it. This article is just describing a notational improvement that would make it easier to get right.
Yeah, this comment section is really bad.

As someone who's been interested in astronomy my entire life, and considered getting a degree in it but only ended up with a minor since I sensibly prioritized CS and wanted to graduate in four years, this is an awesome, amazing, really clever accomplishment. And yet many of the comments here are just so negative, either outright sexist, picking nits and trying to argue that it isn't a big breakthrough or anything, or going through code contributions line-by-line trying to establish that really someone else had more to do with it.

All I know is, she must be insanely intelligent and hard-working. What an awesome PhD project, and at MIT no less!, an institution that I have enormous respect for and that I somewhat identify with because my dad attended and I've been there for many events. I'm jealous. This would've been the exact kind of thing I'd have gone into in astronomy for (because of my background in programming) had I seriously pursued it, but I know I'm just not diligent enough to have seen it through. And being honest, I didn't apply myself well enough in undergrad to have gotten good enough grades to get into a good grad school.

It sucks that so many people jump into "push people down" mode instead of "life people up" mode in these kinds of situations rather, because this is an amazing scientific accomplishment that deserves celebrating. One of the PIs in one of the press conferences said that this was the most important accomplishment in astronomy since 2014 [when Rosetta landed a probe on a comet], and I tend to agree. It's not just about this one image, but about establishing the feasibility of a virtual planet-sized radio telescope that is capable of imaging lots more than just black holes. A lot more discoveries are likely to come out of this technique, and guess who came up with the algorithm to make sense of all those petabytes of data?
First of all, Manning was trying to crack a system, which has nothing to do with hacking, properly understood.

Unfortunately too many people subscribe the idea of startups bringing disruptive changes into car transportation because other startups could do the same with entirely different problems. Just because Elon Musk created Paypal it does not mean that he will be able to jump the hoops to get self driving cars on the roads by end of this year. Many people who are intimately familiar with self driving car technologies predict that we need at least 10 years and several innovations before we can seriously consider this as an option.

Preface: I am not at all an expert on WiFi

In WPA2 you can send deauthentication "frames" to clients to get them to disconnect from the access point. Later I was told these "control frames" can now be encrypted, with an extension/modification to WPA2 supported in the better consumer wireless routers like Linksys?

In response to your Denial of Service point: Does WPA3 make it harder to disconnect clients? (or are you talking about simply overwhelming the airspace with traffic/interference/jamming?)
FWIW, this is still an ideal model for backup storage: If your more regular backup model is robust and your network is well-secured, you'll never need retrieval. And if you need it, you need it, and it's justifiable to spend big to save your business.
The manifold is well-behaved and continuous at r=1, and mass is one of the few characteristics a black hole has other than spin and charge. Gravitons from within the event horizon won’t escape, but the event horizon itself can be thought of as the entire black hole (for everything outside of the black hole).

Although I agree with the point you have raised, it can sometimes be a little tricky to draw the line. Should we have Microsoft cited for projects completed using their software or system? Should we always cite Newton when using calculus?

The whole point of a brand is that people make buying decisions based on irrational ephemera as opposed to utility. Once you establish a luxury brand then charging ridiculous prices for the same utility only reinforces brand perception because consumers have no ability or desire to judge things based on utility and so they equate paying more with a better product, or at least with personal prestige.

> Omnipotence means "being able to do anything that is possible to do"

Would you say that omnipotence includes the ability to define what omnipotence means?

My limited understanding of theology is that polytheistic religions resolved a lot of this by not having omnipotence, and by having hierarchies of gods. You had a sort of overarching force of nature thing that gave creation to everything else, and to which gods answered. And then you had gods like Zeus that were almost all powerful, but still bound by laws of the higher tier being/force/whatever. And below gods like Zeus you had another tier that obeyed even more rules, but was still more powerful than a mortal.

Dualistic religions postulated that there is god and an evil counterpart with which god is in eternal struggle. God in this sense is not omnipotent since an omnipotent god could defeat any foe just by changing the rules of the struggle.

Monotheistic religions hold that there is only god, an omnipotent being and the source of all creation. Christianity is an inconsistent mix of this and dualism where god is omnipotent, yet cannot just do away with the devil.

This is why I get annoyed when somebody argues that Tesla doesn't do false marketing. Why would this guy think that autopilot is safer than a human driver, when they aren't even comparable. Why would you compare an assistance system to a human. Isn't that done to imply that autopilot is actually driverless?

I don't see the irony. The lender wishes to purchases a future stream of payments, and is willing to accept a certain amount of risk proportionate to the interest rate they are willing to lend at. The borrower wishes to purchase cash now, in exchange for paying it back in the future plus some amount of interest.

The only question is whether or not a lender is willing to sell their cash now at an interest rate that the borrower finds agreeable. Sometimes, if you really have a bad track record, you can't get any financing, but in most cases financing is available, just not at an interest rate the borrower is willing to pay. The borrower also has the option of obtaining financing via selling equity.

Bottom line, financing is available at terms that have positive expected value for the person with the cash, not based on how much the borrower needs it or not, as with all other vendor - consumer relationships.
One thing I do consider a real value add for AWS Glacier though has been their native support for offline media import/export. Ie., you can just send them a hard drive of your own for data load, and pay to get a hard drive back out as well. As gigabit (or faster) class WAN slowly spreads this will someday become unnecessary, but right now in many, many places a company could easily have terabytes to backup but 10/1 ADSL as their best available connection. Even with faster connections, aggressive data caps are sadly not infrequent. Whether it's for initial load, ongoing use or faster recovery, sometimes there is still nothing like a multi-TB drive or two in the mail.

There are 3rd parties that will do it for you (Iron Mountain is at least one) but that's an extra cost and Google takes no responsibility for it. I assume this is an example of a place where Amazon is able to leverage its wholistic business, with a Cloud service that can also take advantage of their physical logistics system. Google's service here is quite significantly cheaper and has some nice features though, but even if it's not worth a $4/$1.23 premium for Amazon I could definitely see continuing to pay Amazon some premium ($2 vs $1.23 say) for that alone anywhere with limited high speed WAN availability.
My living in the past is YOUR opinion. There are many millions of FOSS users who are highly opposed to MS having any influence whatsoever on FOSS. They have an agenda and it's never in the best interest of the FOSS crowd. Do you think they are doing what they do out of benevolence? It's done for MS software compatibility with FOSS, so users will choose Azure and their other cloud offerings. It's done purely to keep them in the game and relevant. No other reason. I heavily distrust MS, as over the years they have given many reasons not to trust them. Ever wonder why so many people abandoned GitHub after MS bought them?
