I game mainly on Linux (since most games interesting to me happen to be on Linux).

Valve has been and is doing a lot of work to expand Linux support. I wonder where Linux gaming would be today without them.
Ok, let's try a nice straightforward story. A child is bitten by a dog that definitely has rabies (this can be established by autopsy). The child's parents refuse any treatment (vaccination). It is about a 99% chance that the child will die of rabies without the vaccination. Do you believe the state (or any other actor) should have any power to intervene?
Nobody actually knows the real number of victims since it was not just the population of Dresden but also refugees from all over the place who had taken to live in Dresden. These are not accounted for by the city statistics, so 25 000 people killed is probably on the low end of actual numbers.

https://www.britannica.com/event/bombing-of-Dresden

> The U.S. Eighth Air Force followed the next day with another 400 tons of bombs and carried out yet another raid by 210 bombers on February 15. It is thought that some 25,000–35,000 civilians died in Dresden in the air attacks, though some estimates are as high as 250,000, given the influx of undocumented refugees that had fled to Dresden from the Eastern Front. Most of the victims were women, children, and the elderly.

Finding Invariants in Deep Neural Networks
> Facebook only sells access to eyeballs coupled with anonymized targeting based on this personal information you refer to, not the information itself.

True, but that isn't a whole lot better. Surveillance companies like Facebook like to make a big deal out of this, but I don't think it means as much as they like to pretend.
Watches are somewhat unique in that expensive mechanical versions perform their function more poorly than cheap quartz watches (with the exception of Zenith and maybe others).
Except your comment was about refusing to engage in the activity, analysis of the themes and subtext.

The whole point is that of a subjective analysis, with infinite interpretations which aren't objective views of the text, but a product of the interrelationship between: the text, the context of the text's writing (inc authorial intent), the analyser, their context, and the context of the academia around the text pre existing. These aren't objective measures, but the aim is to have something to say, to have enough insight into the world to link ideas up and make something up that sounds convincing.

Saying the book isn't as good as other people said it was isn't that, and it isn't really very useful, even as a personal opinion, and is completely missing the point of the exercise.
Whole hearted agreement about selling to unstable countries for profit.

But selling to our friends/allies? I like the French, I'd be overjoyed if they thought my weapons were so chic/dangerous that they'd protect their countrymen in their most perilous times. Same thing if the Germans, Canadians, Japanese, etc bought my wares. Why not?

Saudi Arabia... not a fan, I don't think that's wise at all, I think that's going to come back to bite us in the ass and that it's a mistake in progress.

The system isn't perfect, I admit.
keeping the price high is why people cannot afford treatment.
I feel like the other attitude is popular because it gives people an excuse not to exercise real activism - propositions, getting out the vote, public education etc. Just eat a veggie-burger now and then and say "well I tried".
They is Netflix, and other post-production oriented users. You know, what this article and discussion is about?
Communist’s perhaps biggest point was that the means of production (a bakery in this case) should belong to „the people”, which in practice meant the state.
Yes, it sucks to be told you are a sinner. What language would you suggest people use in order to encourage people to be vegan? Suggesting it is the moral choice seems like a good method to me. Then again i am inclined to seek the moral and respond to guilt.

You seem more concerned about not being condescended to; for such an individual, what language would you find cogent?
Trains to airports are though.

You are looking for a Data Scientist who is a star with R or maybe a Dev who is a wiz with PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Ruby, Python, React Native…well unfortunately that isn’t me. But as you have already “command F” to here for one of those terms, stay for another 17 seconds.

You also need someone who can properly represent your up and coming product to potential clients, create marketing materials that drive home your value, run user testing, and generally make sure fires are put out …and work on processes so fewer fires happen.

I cofounded a small startup, made some mistakes with it and learned from them. Previously I ran experiential marketing deployments in the field. Just got back to the US a few weeks ago and now looking to devote my skills and towards creating and enhancing value for a company. Willing to do a deep dive and learn. Travel is ok.

The FDA has extremely long review cycles. To say that this could be not be improved, while still keeping the same standards (or even better ones) is unlikely. Anyway, I don't think it's likely that we will see anyone touching the patent system anytime soon, so it's merely a thought exercise at this stage.

You (or someone who believes the same) should actually try this experiment and see if the reality matches the expectation, to any level of (potentially) destructive accuracy.
I think more than that is required. I think that they should be held liable even if they do not know. I think it should be their responsibility to to find out and to design corporate structures that don't incentive and conceal illegal activity by their subordinates.
As far as I'm aware, mobile home owners have renters rights on the land, which means you can't exactly do that to them either.
>> it’s shocking nobody is going to jail in relation to a fraud guilty plea.

> They are though. From the justice.gov article:

> "Dennis Balius, the SPI testing lab supervisor, led a scheme to alter tests within SPI’s computerized systems and provide false certifications with the altered results to customers...Balius pleaded guilty in July 2017 and was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay over $170,000 in restitution."

Was he the instigator of this scheme, or were his superiors aware?

I'm not seeing the incentive for someone in testing to fake results on their own. I would imagine the motivation would either come from sales (to close a deal to sell product they couldn't actually produce) or manufacturing (to cover up costly quality problems). Balius seems like a fall guy.
Per the PR comments, a workaround I've been using is to have VSCodeVim use VSCode's own undo/redo stack (appended to settings.json)

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
"before": ["u"],
"after": [],
"commands": [
{
"command": "undo",
"args": []
}
]
},
{
"before": ["<C-r>"],
"after": [],
"commands": [
{
"command": "redo",
"args": []
}
]
}
],
Two points:

- Focusing on adding e2e encryption for messaging services serves as a nice deflector for FB's privacy issues. Their advertising systems aren't going to change in terms of efficacy and revenue potential if private messages between users are inaccessible to Facebook. I'd be surprised if they're using this data anyway, but it's Facebook, so who knows. In any case, expect the messaging to focus on increasing privacy through message and video encryption, which completely ignores the underlying issue of profile-building and behavior modification that Facebook's non-messaging platforms allow, and which I didn't seem to hear any plans around addressing.

- IMHO, pretty much all posturing around privacy by Facebook should not be taken seriously until they announce a change to their business model. Since they haven't, it doesn't take much effort to tease out the rest: their business model relies upon surveiling user behavior and selling behavior modification products, so you can expect no announcements around product changes that would undermine those efforts significantly in the name of privacy until their business model changes. Everything until then is just at best noise, at worst dishonest framing to take the heat off of them by those who are ignorant of the underlying dynamics, like regulators or the general public.

What market? If you get problems from regulation and the solution is always more regulation you eventually get a Rube Goldberg state run health system. If the US wanted cheaper medical care they could disaggregate medical care and actually try to drive down costs. As it is the supply of people who want to be doctors just keeps going up and there are plenty of foreign doctors who would be delighted to work in the US who aren’t allowed to do so. The AMA doesn’t want nurse practitioners and it doesn’t want foreign doctors and they’re winning. Hell, look at India, they have something close to a free market in medical care and factory line hospitals where people get better at the procedures they do by doing one thing many times and list prices. Why can’t the US do that?

https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2015/medical_tourism.html

> One of the things I like most about India is it's medical system. As an American, I've experienced both the Indian and US medical systems, and at this point I have a very strong preference for the Indian one. Somewhat surprisingly, the Indian medical system is based on free market capitalism, and as a result it tends to provide a much better experience than the US system.
Well McCarthyism removed just about everyone who would have fought for public health care in the 60s with the rest of the western world.
> I don't say the Mark Zuckerberg is evil

"Evil" is a a loaded term. I think it's more accurate to say that Zuckerberg is knowingly deceptive in an effort to ensure that Facebook can continue to engage in pervasive surveillance without too much public outrage.
This seriously can backfire, though. The hospitals where I lived... they took folks to collections. They would take you to court for a fairly low amount of money and garnish your wages. Sure, it takes longer, but they'll get their money. IIRC, in the state I lived in, they can take 25% of your pay as long as they leave you an amount equal to 30 hours at minimum wage.

It generally just takes years longer.

He never had much support once the smear that “two women accused him of rape” was intentionally leaked and broadcast. Most people don’t dig into the details, and no one wants to defend “a sex offender.” And, since the British high-brow media are such a bunch of weasels, he didn’t have much chance of overcoming it.
Yes, this is unfortunately a reality.
The Cleaner Wrasse: A Fish That Makes Other Fish Smarter
Depends on what you want it for.

For use on earth probably but there's also a lot of unexplored potential surface and near surface resources on the moon where going deeper and deeper into the earth is quite expensive and dangerous in it's own right.

For use in space especially consumables like water it makes a lot of sense to find them in space as much as possible because the rocket equation is a royal pain in the ass from the ground. Starting in space drastically increases the amount of mass we could move around. Eventually we could build the bulk of the structure in space and only lift up hard to manufacture stuff like life support and computer systems to install in space (and eventually, hopefully, be able to build everything off earth but there's a LOT of industrial base to build up before things like ICs can be manufactured off world).
