Unfortunately, I'm not making this up. Here's a link to Jonathan Cook's articles for the Unz Review:

I think that an important distinction is I imagine most actual consumers of deepfake porn want to watch someone who they have neither had sex with nor seen in porn before. The fake would be easier to believe in that context.
Oh come off. Forget parties, name anyone aside from Trump who would think slapping tariffs on Mexico would do anything to curb illegal immigration. Even if you're worried about this problem this is an idiotic solution.
Gene Mutation Confirms Gut-Brain Connection in Autism
Of course intermittency, and time matching electrical load to generation. Fortunately we have great technology for that: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/pges-recording-...

Battery technology, be it lithium ion or one of the numerous flow chemistries, is on a continuously decreasing cost curve, while nuclear tech is on a continuously increasing cost curve, or at best stagnant.

Additionally, with nuclear, we are locking in todays prices for 60 years, without taking delivery for 10-15 years. Investing in storage tech with a 15-20 life span allows reinvesting in a cheaper tech after that.

Additionally, seasonal storage technologies, outside of the currently existing hydro dams, are likely to enter the stage, such as synthetic fuel.

And since a huge amount of our emissions come from sources that can't yet be electrified easily, we really we will likely need some sort of synthetic fuel strategy, which would also turn into a seasonal storage tech.

Electrical generation is just one part of the climate solution, and honestly renewables plus storage plus HVDC is, today, a 95% solution. Getting that last 5% also solves the other parts of the climate problem. We need to be looking beyond electrical grids to other regions of our economy, and we need to be doing it five years ago.

If the nuclear renaissance of 2008 had delivered a desirable product, it would be deployed in far more places. Instead, it was late, and also way too expensive. Nuclear may come back in some form, such as SMR, but as it is, it's neither necessary nor desirable to tackle climate change.
A Comparison Between Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Highest-paid CEOs in healthcare in 2018
With launch costs falling and hardware getting smaller/lighter it's getting less conservative. It used to be everything was C99, VxWorks and SPARC or worse but a lot of companies are starting to look at newer technologies. Good luck finding one of those projects right now but it is happening.
Did that with Apple II+. 32 bit floats helped it be less slow, but it wasn't fast by any measure. I also exploited some PAL-M artifacting to fake more colors (with bigger pixels, which also sped up things)
The article is literally talking about physical bodies, in the context of sickness. And all the quotes from doctors using the word are from the 1600s. These new academics, eh?
Anyone who questions the official narrative with evidence and logic is deemed an alt-right conspiracy theorist now. I've seen people try it with Chomsky.
forget pokemon cards. Magic the Gathering cards are pretty valuable and you can definitely sell them for a bunch of money and buy a car or whatever. Ok, they have a use case because people play the game. But why do they play the game? because they feel like it - there is no "inherent value" to those cards either. Tomorrow, the game goes out of style for whatever reason and the cards are worthless. But today, while people like to play the game, they are valuable. Today, people shop on Amazon. Tomorrow, something changes and they stop shopping on Amazon and Amazon stock falls a lot. There is obviously a difference, but it's not as fundamental as people think.
It may seem parallel, but it really isn't.

I don't claim my assertion is hard to find, it's been all over every newspaper all over the world.

Whereas the originally offered assertion is one that's predicated on a big cover-up (that's the whole point of the submitted blog post). So the interested reader cannot actually find it himself, he needs the gracious support by the asserter.
China's new 'social credit' system
That's a good introductory article in that it starts from a very basic idea of just an assignment and ends up with a gen_server.

This explicit state management and immutability is very nice in large applications. You can see what is happening in a piece of code just by looking at the local context (a function or a module) since you'd have the initial state, the update operation, and the new state. If something goes wrong, tracing just that function can often reveal the error. Contrast that to an implicit "this" object with multiple levels of class inheritance, then things become a lot more complicated.

Further, when it comes to state management, process heap isolation is invaluable. If something goes wrong, you can safely restart just some parts of the application without leaving others in an unknown state. Operating systems have figured this out many decades ago, and going back to concurrency units that share a single heap feels like we are back in the Windows 3.1 world, where your calculator crashing also took down your editor.
One of the big problems was UWP's cross-platform approach was too narrow. The problem isn't writing across all Microsoft platforms, the problem is writing across all platforms, such as iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, etc. Platforms like Ionic solve those problems; UWP does not.

Not to mention how it was basically a more restricted WPF (which already is an over-engineered, confusing mess)
This should be a good enough citation: http://www.unz.com/jcook/endless-procedural-abuses-show-juli...

It's the same article, published on the UNZ review. The UNZ review also helpfully gives you a page of all articles a given author has published on their page. http://www.unz.com/author/jonathan-cook/

It seems conclusive that Jonathan Cook is a regular writer for the UNZ review.

It does incrementally make a difference. You want all your libraries to stay under a certain budget if you don't want to hit your users with a 500 KB bundle size.

It is not only about how long it takes to download, it is also about parsing that amount of code in low end phones.
For those who are interested in an alternative CAPTCHA service, we at NetToolKit are putting the finishing touches on a service that we hope to launch at the end of next month (June). The CAPTCHAs are interactive and meant to be fun for the user -- no machine learning training involved. We'd be thrilled to get some early feedback before launch, so if anyone is interested, please reach out via email or via our website (both in profile).
You can't. What is more likely is that central banks that can print infinite amounts of their own money are buying up bitcoin in order to make it useless. Bitcoin is seen as competitor by central banks.

The same happened to gold. As soon as one entity controlled the vast majority of gold the price ceased to be stable. Central banks already essentially destroyed gold as payment method. If central banks only sell 1% of their gold assets they increase the supply on the actual tradeable market so much that the price can be vastly manipulated. It would be smart if they do the same with bitcoin.
To people wondering why you would want to move to a standalone solution while Medium provides you with distribution and community - it does not (anymore). Well, not to the extent that justifies ceding the control over the representation of your content.

Take a look at this experience https://www.freecodecamp.org/forum/t/we-just-moved-off-of-me...

Tl;dr: Medium's practice of paywalling articles and preferential treatment of those articles over public ones kills the reach of your content. Also, they lock you in by removing the feature of attaching your own domain name. Also, their weird upvote mechanism. Also, the dysfunctional comment system. I can go on and on.
FreeCodeCamp Is Leaving Medium
If you publish your fantasies about a person, that says something about you and would be hard to mistake as originating from that person.

If your deepfake of that person leaks, that appears to be about them.
Interesting that he didn't add his affiliation to Unz in his about page. Here's one source after a quick google.

I'm at odds with your assertion, to me they sound like the kind of "in-fighting" I have come to expect when discussing /anything/ regarding sex. If you treat one as an "other" then you're a pariah, but equally if you do not then whatever gender is chosen becomes the defacto standard anyway.

The take-away for me is that science shouldn't be interesting in listening to those who enjoy politicking.

The last four paragraphs, taken out of context for the benefit of people who won't read the article first and wonder what the parent is talking about:

--

> She is also concerned about the approach taken by some research teams in the US which incorporate both sexes in experiments by working things out in males first and then repeating it in females. “It perpetuates the dated, sexist and scientifically inaccurate idea that male brains are a standard from which female brains deviate,” she said.

> Ironically, Shansky said, the ways in which the male and female brains differ may have remained under-investigated due to a backlash against the idea of there being meaningful differences between the male and female brain.

> “There’s a concern that research that shows sex differences in the brain will be weaponised by misogynists or used to justify and promote inequality,” she said. “It’s up to scientists to make sure that the message of those studies is not conveyed in a comparative way that adds any value. It doesn’t have to be a competition, it’s not about being better, it’s just about saying this is how things works.

> “There’s nothing anti-feminist about saying the neurobiology in the female brain might be different.”
> At least it's not optional to use it.

Zone.js is optional, although it is on by default. It's considered best practice to remove it when building standalone components with Angular Elements.
It literally is though.

> the Soviet government did respond to it seriously

If by seriously you mean covering up the problem so the appropriate experts could be brought in to contain the problem before the fallout covered half of Europe, or in not providing proper shielding for the first responders, or by not providing proper funding and training for the staff at Chernobyl... sure, they took it very seriously.

Why can't they just be a standup guy that has issues dealing with women in specific circumstances? Why are they defined by that specific case and not their holistic behavior?
Removing the option to turn off Wi-Fi seems like just another way to constantly spy on people.
They haven’t lost a FRAND case yet.

In the ideal world the phone would be like a PC, and you could buy an iPod touch from apple and swap in the qualcomm 5g modem or the intel one.

Apple pays qcom $14 bucks for the modem. In the PC world I think qualcomm would be able to price theirs closer to 50 compared to intels.
Bzip2 in Rust – Basic Infrastructure and CRC32 Computation
OK, simple question: would you be willing to get yourself contaminated with Americium-241 in the same way as the Atomic Man (for example, to proof how harmless a-particles in the body are, or, lets say for money)?

If not, what is the point of your contribution to the discussion?
I honestly don't get comments like yours.

The author of this repo built something to help people move off of medium (where their content is currently stored) to their own blog. This has become progressively more common and people might be putting it off because it takes too long.

E.G. the basecamp blog moved in January (https://m.signalvnoise.com/signal-v-noise-exits-medium/).

Furthermore, it is super easy to be critical of something that someone built but significantly harder to create something. Perhaps instead of taking the negative road you could offer suggestions, or build your own move your blog to medium repo... or literally anything that isn't trashing someone's hard work.
Mole Rats Felt No Pain, Even from Wasabi’s Burn
After reading the article, it's unclear to me whether they asked the test subjects if they identify as men or women. Based on this, I'm not sure if the article's title is accurate.
To be clearer, the question of what level of caution is appropriate is one that cannot depend on the approach being considered. It needs to to be one that can be applied evenly across the whole of the solution-space.

Approaches like insisting on fully and completely explore all the ideas that are readily palateable before we try to understand the potentials and risks of others seems like making policy primarily based around personal ick-factor. Which is great when choosing what to have for dinner, but maybe somewhat less than ideal when every delay means thousands more dead people.

Also, vaccines can run horribly off the rails. One cannot mutate into a pathogen, as you say, but tainted vaccines are a known risk. There may be unknown long-term risks or other things that haven't been fully studied. No approach is risk-free in this arena, and we do a disservice to humanity when we pretend otherwise.
You're getting downvoted rightly because your comment is completely ridiculous.

This is a little open source script for transferring Medium articles elsewhere. There is no reason to believe that this project is meant to completely address "supporting people who want to move away from Medium". It's fine to make something that does something simple like this. Perhaps you should create this application you seem to think should be made.
As the article mentions it seems like the show "Chernobyl" is a dream come true for the anti-nuclear crowd. Its dramatization of the event is truly horrific and actually had me questioning my support of nuclear power as a sensible alternative.

Watching it has me wondering a lot about how bad the accident actually was. I've done a little research and the number of fatalities seem to vary wildly depending on the source.

Does anyone have any reasonably good un-biased sources of information about the accident?
I think LGPL is really more reasonable than the GPL as VLC case did.

Also you could follow the JUCE library model they got their free version and the pay version with a very attractive payment model.

I like JUCE but the components for mobile still not native l&f, Boden looks very promise with clean code using c++17.

But please keep a reasonable price for developers that make free apps and easy to pay.

Also if you could get a Rust version that it will change everything :)
Damm did this thread get intervened fast! My other comment got 5 downvotes in one minute, and plenty more too! Top comment is a spin-filled bullshit, probably pinned. And these are my fellow humans for whom Assange sacrificed so much. Maybe we do deserve to be cattle for the deep state.
The curious origins of the dollar symbol
Cloudflare recently posted about competing with GitHub. Maybe this is a better place to compete if they are hell bent on going wide vs deep?

Medium, for me, is a weird shit show. There are people there I want to read, but I dislike the "medium". For a variety of valid reasons, ranging from page weight bloat, to killing the custom domain feature, and finally...to paywall experiments. I do recognize their strength in visibility.

Edit: happy to hear critical feedback.
How it could have been worse, and why. The layer after layer of lies and coverups going on within the Soviet government are very much at odds with the heroism of those actually on the ground.

Kinda like working IT in a big American corporation. :)
Kubelet Runs as Root Upon Restart
> France signed the Venice Convention in the 70s

Not only that, according to a friend the French laws about replacements are so harsh, that he:

* would have to use handmade wallpapers

* was not allowed to replace a very thin outer door with a slightly thicker one so that he could have steel bars run in the door to provide adequate security (he would not have been allowed to drill the holes the bars lock into on the other side of the frame either)

He sold his house after realizing that there is no way around these rules (and he worked in French bureaucracy all his life).

PS: IIRC it was a small 17th century hôtel particulier in a town some hours from Paris, off the tourist track.
Pardon the off-topic comment, but is anyone else finding the discussed web page to be sluggish to the point of unusability? (This is on Firefox 67, on Windows 7.) I'm not talking about page load time; once the page has finished loading:

- trying to scroll the page using arrow keys or Page Up/Down keys takes several seconds between key press and response

- when dragging the scroll bar manually, the new scrolled-in area is blank white for several seconds before finally filling in with content

- even right-click, or click-drag to select text, takes a few seconds to respond

I tried disabling javascript on the page, but it makes no difference, so it's not some runaway script. I'm guessing that maybe there are some very high resolution Mandelbrot images that are being scaled in the browser?
Google Chrome, the perfect antitrust villain?
Since you're replying to the top comment, are you saying COINTELPRO is creating this story in favor of journalism and journalistic rights, wanting to save Assange? That seems wildly counter to COINTELPRO's history.
Is there any indication of effect on the mosquito's natural predators, or on animal life that might eat the infected dead bodies such as different ant species?
That would just cause the price to increase, creating an incentive for more extraction. The practical, most economically sensible solution to climate change is also the most politically unfeasible: carbon tax
For a fun variation, check out this twist I made. I use Mandelbrot as a warp instead of visualizing the iterations.

If it doesn’t work in your browser because of the camera input, try replacing the iChannel0 input with one of the built-in videos. Firefox seems to work best for me to use the Camera input, and turning your head into MandelHeads is pretty hilarious...
Well the thing is what separates an agenda from being political or not is how normalized it is - not how right or wrong it is factually or morally. Pointing out AIDS is from a virus was once "political" because it undermined their "decadent lifestyles are to blame" beliefs.

The non-cynical why is to highlight how stupid issues of humans are harming research quality in a way that could put human health at risk. The cynical why is because it gets them clicks and both options aren't mutually exclusive.
Would be also great to see the experience of writing and publishing new posts and/or updating published posts. Otherwise, kudos for doing this. The GIF is amazing!
I really hope this is true, but there must still be something different, because there's been years of delay caused by the solar shade not deploying properly.
Because that requires keeping all the specialized machinery and knowledge alive for the duration of the whole project.

Given the length of this project, I wouldn't be surprised if at this point NASA couldn't order a second one built even if they wanted to.

The unfortunate thing about advanced technology is that if you don't use it, you lose it. More specifically, you lose the research and machining setups and people with knowledge about them in their head; the main problem here being that documentation doesn't capture everything - a lot of tacit knowledge is captured in e.g. tuning of the machines, undocumented fixes made on-site, idiosyncrasies in manufacturing steps, etc.
NASA sometimes does it. Mars 2020 is an upgrade of Mars Science Laboratory (aka Curiosity) spare.
The good news is you can turn off most of those and truecaller still works. I just checked and I only allow it access to Contacts, SMS and Phone which, given the purpose of the app, seems appropriate.
Especially in the studies they're talking about here, which are about cancer drugs. It's life-and-death stuff, and it's not so simple as "Well, we haven't proven this yet, so you just run off and die while we run a few more studies."

We have a hard enough time keeping desperate people from trying things that we know for a fact are scams. Perhaps doctors could put the studies in clearer context when prescribing, but they are always clear that these drugs aren't perfectly effective and that it's kind of a crapshoot.

When you've got patients who will die anyway, it's no surprise that we end up treating them as a final stage of clinical trials. You need to be honest about that and get consent, but many will give it willingly.
What is a 'carefully-controlled scientific experiment'? Please link me to the documentation of the safety controls they used and also to the body that verifies that they actually followed those controls properly and effectively. Hint: Neither thing exists.
No they don’t. Tourism accounts for just 2% of the Paris region’s GDP. Their GDP probably would go up if they got rid of their historical preservation rules, allowing more productive use of existing space.
Of course there is. Do you think many are willing to pay the price though?

Apart from some publicised exceptions virtually every person on Earth prefers to externalize costs onto the environment when purchasing products.
Cancer is caused by longevity. If you live long enough you will probably have cancer too.

The worst case scenario would have rendered large parts of Europe uninhabitable.

That worst case scenario was only avoided through a combination of luck and suicidal - not always informed and voluntary - heroism.

And its disingenuous to reduce this to "lives affected." Even ignoring the deaths, the economic opportunity costs in all affected countries absolutely overshadow the economic value of all of the electricity ever generated by the plant.
Very similar situation. But we are kind of the exception. I just happened to start loving programming/hacking around 6th grade. I spent all my time doing that, mostly sometimes in secret to avoid being viewed as a 'nerd'. Although it paid off, I am just lucky my interest was what happens to be flourishing at the time.
