That may feel weird to some people (it does to me, for instance), but it's not in the same category of events. You paid for it. Rationally, as long as you know you're good for it, there's nothing massively wrong with it. I say it "feels" weird precisely because I know rationally it isn't wrong, or is so little wrong it doesn't matter much. (I mean, I've been in situations where it turns out I ate at a restaurant but didn't have my wallet, and I had to go make it right. That sort of thing happens. If you really get down to it, yeah, sure, it's wrong, but we can't run a society of human beings if we start bring in the legal system or something for all those things.)

I would also add that if the store owner came up to you and challenged you to please pay for that right now, you're obligated to do so. Considered as a whole, it's not a good idea for someone to do that over a bottle of soda for all kinds of reasons, but I'd say the right still is essentially there.
Thanks, I was hoping to figure out when it was distributed. But your comment encouraged me to search for the CVE, and it looks like it was fixed in the Android 04-05 security patch:

You're conflating morals with legality. The two are completely different concepts.

For example I can legally profile short people, but it isn't moral to do so. And I would rightfully be judged if I did so.

> but the degree of consonance that the input induces in the brain's frequencies

That sounds incredibly pseudosciencey. Why would the inputs of audible sound compare to your brainwaves? Given that light is also composed of frequencies, is there a link there as well, or because the numbers don't align as well, is it disregarded?
I paid 23&me to test my DNA. I have received the results. Now I have no idea how that information is being re-used or sold. I plan to submit a delete request of my data when CA’s CCPA law goes into effect.
Yeah trying to keep DNA private is a losing cause. You're constantly leaving your DNA laying around. How long until the average phone is capable of scanning for DNA on any random surface? I'd bet not as long as we'd like.

And the fact that you share so much of it with your family just compounds the problem with trying to keep DNA a secret.

I'd like my DNA to remain private but it's less realistic than keeping even your fingerprints private.
The administrative assistant who lasted only one day: A legendary prank from
Now I think we're running into the strange alleyways in our concept of depression. Do people with depression have no agency in their depression? I think it depends.

Depression can be a disposition, ie. someone is disposed to being depressed but not always depressed.

Depression can be a mental state, ie. I'm depressed right now.

Depression can also be a clinical diagnosis, ie. you are lacking such and such chemical balance and that is your depression and you require such and such to "fix" it.

Depression can be an emotion or a feeling, ie. I feel depressed, or that poet is describing or manifesting their depression in their words.

Depression can be a cause and a reason, in the sense that one (an agent) gives a reason for their actions.

The concept of depression has different degrees of agency. In some clinical cases, none at all. That seems controversial until you realize depression is a complex and flexible concept.

This study seems to have not clarified what exactly they are talking about when they describe people as depressed.
Thanks for your reply I am also looking to understand this report further

I think I see what you're saying:
The prices are already PPP (did you mean that instead of PPI?), thus the _additional_ adjustment of middle class as varying country per country (on a USD value basis) is then misleading/lying. E.g. Someone below the threshold of middle class in the USA may still be considered middle class in Germany.

The issue I see specifically is here:

>So the graph uses different definitions of middle class standard of living and conflates the results.

They use a _consistent_ definition of 75% to 200% (a percent basis) of the median income in each country.

What you interpret as different definitions stems from the fact that these countries have different median incomes.

And that's the whole point of the category of "middle-class" isn't it? Consider the edge case of some fictional country where their currency is gold bars and diamonds. "In America you'd be rich!" you may tell a middle class member of that country. "That's great, but I'm middle of the road around here actually" Is what they would respond. The fact that a homeless person in the US, with their scant possesions, would maybe be wealthy in Yemen (ignoring the myriad other issues) has no bearing on their current condition in the US.

If we compare these countries on a worldwide median household-income basis ($9,733 [1]), almost everyone in the developed world would be "middle-class" or higher. Would that mean there are no issues there? [2]

Does the brain really release feel-good chemicals? I’m not sure I believe that, but I am no expert. :)

Some relatives to me, who are depressed, tend to immerse in self-pity, and that feels good to them. It’s like they live in their own bubble, with a biased interpretation of the world, and they are in the middle of it.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
That may be absolutely true, but how does that relate to the title of "Reasons not to reveal your DNA."

> Don't reveal your DNA, because socks are a better gift.

The two are completely unrelated, IMO.
How did you manage to get an OpenBSD install that didn't include awk?
I think the backstory for this project is that QEMU is a full-featured virtualization project, capable of emulating many machines including actually emulating them (i.e., not using hardware virtualization features, just interpreting machine code), doing userspace virtualization (running a binary for a different CPU in the same kernel, instead of emulating an entire machine), supporting all sorts of hardware, supporting features needed for debugging OS development, etc. Most of that isn't useful in the cloud - in the cloud you've got hardware virtualization, almost always on x86-64 but occasionally on ARM64 and virtualizing the same platform as the host. In the cloud you're typically running an OS that can have custom drivers for your virtualization platform, you're not running old/historic OS images that need to run faithfully. In the cloud you generally want custom drivers for your virtualization platform because they're higher-performance, and you wouldn't want to emulate certain models of real-world network cards/disks/etc. in the first place - and in QEMU, those turn out to be huge attack surfaces. In the cloud you generally do not need a local graphical display and often do not need a graphics driver at all, since you're logging into machines over SSH (and if you need early boot debug output, you can do that over a virtualized serial port). In the cloud you don't need a floppy disk or a parallel port. In the cloud you probably don't need the standard PC bootup process where it starts in 16-bit mode for compatibility with old bootloaders, which themselves switch to 32-bit and then to 64-bit: you can have the hypervisor directly start EFI in 64-bit mode.

NEMU only does hardware virtualization on x86-64 machines and only exposes an emulated "machine" type that has the various virtualization-optimized devices and no emulation of real-world devices.

Maybe "production workloads" would be a better descriptor here than "cloud."
It looks like their defense is that they make it clear they're reading what someone else wrote and making jokes. That wasn't clear, but I do understand where they're coming from. I listen for the jokes, not the history. They should be more upfront about their sources.

It's similar to MBMBaM reading Yahoo Answers questions word for word while being silly about it. Except they do make the source clear. I do agree with them that it fits under fair use since it usually protects parody and commentary. They list all their sources now, so it's moot.

I was much more moved by hearing that Lore basically reads off wikis. They don't add anything. That's why I switched to Myths and Legends.
Personally, I find Airbus to be more comfortable.

This. People seek things that "understand" them. Misery loves company.
You'll find big SUV's and pickup trucks in every state. No US state is purely urban. Even when it is mostly so, there are still people who drive obscenely large vehicles (ICE of course for now) like these electric ones.

Or just subtract one karma from the person doing the down-voting as well so people only down-vote when it's "really" worth it. Prolific down-voters would float around the down-vote karma threshold and basically be rate limited by the number of upvotes they get.
National Dish
If something hurts, we usually stop doing it (feedback loop), unless there is something else at play: some short term positives, like taking drugs. So depression (even without music) persists because it actually feels good in the short term. I remember when I was a child, and was crying, I could cry myself even more, by just thinking negative thoughts, it kinda felt good to 'release'. Music amplifies this, so I would say this is why depressed people 'enjoy' sad music. Then, I was taught not to have self-pity, and didn't really care to be sad any longer. Instead I chose to solve the problems or move on if they're not solvable.

It's helped me. What do you think?
Maybe I’m wrong but broken heart sad seems a lot more transient than older generations of sad music like, say, Pink Floyd’s The Wall and The Final Cut. I would wager it’s really not a problem.
I like simplicity. I use i3, Firefox with enough privacy extensions, Emacs and terminal. And I love to be able to have a great keyboard, where sadly the ThinkPads are the only choice nowadays.

Using Mac OS X or Windows will give me a headache. I just don't like their user interface. And I've used both of them a lot; I had my G4 iMac with 10.0.0 back in the days, and kind of liked 10.3.0 until Linux won me over again.
I fully agree with you and recognize that a person can only become the way I am (and doesn’t necessarily) by growing up in a privileged environment where store owners are always happy to see you and your family and you have never been questioned by anyone.
I just ditched Gmail for fastmail because the user interface was finally so bad it was unusable.
Yeah, I understand their intention, but personally I am seldom intrigued by the alternate offering. Consequently, to my ears, each such crossover becomes a very long advertisement, and these crossovers have been popping up a lot as podcast networks continue to grow. If the preview were in the form of a short excerpt, enough to give me a sense of the other show's vibe, I would call that a livable compromise, but I can't abide having entire episodes foisted on me.

But maybe I am an outlier, and if so, I will just be unhappy about it all by myself.
Also if I do take something in I make sure I have a receipt for it as well as carry it in the store bag, but most of the time, if I’m in s car, put my things in the car. If transit, receipt and store bag to avoid scrutiny.
How many times are we going to let junk science poison our judicial system?
Good to see another version of OpenBSD out. I love it for servers, the easy setup, solid package management, and security are first rate. The only reason I can't switch to it for desktop is that the Jetbrains IDEs have some issues due to no OpenBSD support Pty libraries, so debugging doesn't work, otherwise I'd be a full convert.
I've been incredibly tempted to do an electricians apprenticeship, so it's cool to hear someone from an academic background that's actually done something similar and gone into a trade. My study was Electrical and Electronic Engineering so I imagine the career swap would be trivial, but it's a large time investment.

How did you find the time to do it? To become a licensed electrician in the UK apparently takes about 4 years, and I'd earn pittance until qualifying so that's the only thing stopping me currently. I assume plumber would be as similarly stringent.
guy is not a male pronoun
Yes they should, and others too (see my GP response above). Anonymity, such as it was, helped prevent risk. Now we need a law to limit the liability of a donor.

Are there already such laws?

I think you mixed up the units here.

In us oil changes are 3k-5k miles. which is ~5k km to ~8k km whereas in Europe it's 10k to 20k.

I find 8k-10k figure to be close enough and realistic.

5k km for old cars with non-synthetic oil.

20k km I highly suspect is a pipe dream from BMW marketing material ensuring that after about 120k the car would have no resale value.
Same experience as a DJ. You don't open a night with bangers - that's a great way to alienate everybody. Pick the light tone, don't go for anything further than nodding along to music in the beginning, and then gradually, track by track, pick up the pace, keeping an eye on the dancefloor.

Same principle also works wonders in sex, btw.

Big Math and the One-Brain Barrier a Position Paper and Architecture Proposal
I work for a fairly large corporation that was looking at Accenture (among other firms) to help augment our team on a complete revamp of a current web product. By the time we were taking RFP's and listening to pitches, we as a company had already chosen the stack and architecture of how we wanted this new product to be. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary: Typescript with React / Redux with various services hosted on AWS.

All the firms we spoke to were onboard with this and continued on with their proposals except Accenture. One of their lead devs was extremely combative and trying to tell us that going with Angular was a much better idea / React is a failure. On top of this, they kept pitching that they were going to rewrite all the backend services, which was not part of the RFP or even brought up as something wanted.

It really felt like they already had a generic turnkey product in place and wanted to sell us that instead.
Wirecard relied on three opaque partners for almost all its profit
I led the team that created the JavaScript interpreter JWST is using, and I still occasionally work with them on it. 16 (or so) years ago I was blown away at the amount of research NASA did covering all of the control language options, and of course glad that they selected ours. The language itself wasn’t so important as having adequate performance, robustness, memory use, reproducibility and extreme QC.. the way I remember thinking about it was that when your system is running a million miles away, you can’t send an IT tech to press ctl-alt-del when something goes wrong. IMHO they made a well-researched choice that continues to hold up.
That is quite a good theory.
I can relate to pop music just fine but those tunes are shallow compared to the information packed songs from Radiohead. But I've never loved Radiohead for their melancholy. Only for their outstanding musical abilities. They also seem to be bright, clever, intelligent even, judging from their lyrics and interviews. I don't consider them dark. I consider them bright.

I've been depressed tons of times. I'm bipolar, they tell me. But even outside of a depressive state I return to those artists that try a little harder than those who aim for the top lists.

I think most other people who are depressive by nature, when they feel good about themselves they shy away from things that remind them of themselves in a depressive state. But I love being depressed. It's a much better feeling than being manic.
1) It's not short term. Fortnite is constantly adding new features. This isn't normal crunch before a game ships then relax after patching bugs, it's literally crunch every week.

2) The actual employees are paid very well via a profit share arrangement. To my understanding, the issue is when contractors are worked like this. I don't believe contractors receive overtime or bonuses.

The entertainment police are out in full swing telling people they are being entertained "wrong."

Look, I really don't care for listening to music, it's just not entertaining to me. I can't explain the reasons why, just not my thing, music just doesn't tickle my fancy so I never listen to it. I also really don't care for live theater or art museums. However, I don't go writing wordy and overwrought op-eds or blog posts saying how I'm 'against' those things, because I different people understand people enjoy different things than me.

I read the first several paragraphs and skimmed the rest because its truly insufferable.
> A biometric ID is as obviously a lynchpin of a surveillance state as the necessity of a unique key to run a database.

That's disingenuous. A government is also a lynchpin for a surveillance state, so you'll support anarchy?

A biometric id is very useful for various purposes. Subsidy targeting, financial inclusion, simplification of various datasets, and cracking down on tax evasion to name a few.

Git is great. It also has issues. Scaling has issues. Changing a tool won't solve scaling issues.

A battery in an BEV has no direct counterpart in an ICE vehicle. However it most closes aligns as critical to the power train. Any major repairs or replacement of power train components can be comparable depending on the component and labor. Batteries can, like engines and transmissions, be recycled and so costs of replacement today are likely closer to peak than 5-10 years out. Batteries have also proven they last well over 200k miles with less degradation than originally thought [0].

The standard length of operation of a gas ICE doesn't compete with electric, even early in the stage of BEV.

It's fucking simple: millions of people died in famines and gulags in the USSR. You have the gall to compare "people who can't access health care and die prematurely" to being DISAPPEARED, TORTURED, MURDERED, AND STARVED, INTENTIONALLY, BY A GOVERNMENT THAT CLAIMED TO BE FOR THEM.

You're a filthy, rotten, leftist liar--forgive my redundancy.
I listen while:

* cooking or cleaning (usually politics or culture stuff)

* working if the work isn't too intense (usually lighter stuff)

* on the treadmill (30 minutes of tech stuff)

* doing random stuff and just want a voice in the background, like some people keep a TV on.

I don't listen while commuting because my walking-and-public-transit commute requires that I stay alert and doesn't give me any sit-down time. Nor do I usually see anybody with headphones on during the tram ride. For longer stretches that would make sense, or maybe in a car.

I don't really see much mention of how to bring middle-skilled jobs back, just how to embrace a world with more high-skilled jobs. I think middle-skilled jobs, along with the geographic problem, are the things that people really want. Accepting a world with jobs polarized along 'skills' and a very tiny bridge connecting them seems bad on its face. The quintessential American story is one of a little guy climbing the ladder through enterprise and wit. What happens when you remove the middle rungs?

Nearly everything is correlated with race or protected social status. For instance, it is farcical to be able to target advertisements on Facebook Likes, but not on race. These systems will discriminate on racial proxies, and the question is if you are ok with that, not if those features happen to be legally allowed.

I guess it depends which public key the device is willing to accept updates from. This exploit gets you the per-device keystore private key, which is not going to be being used by vendors to sign builds. But perhaps there's an option somewhere to allow running firmware updates if the payload is signed by the device's keystore key, I don't know.
