So, you are giving up what seems like your 2 most important apps (Evernote and VMs) just so you can run X operating system on a laptop?

Excuse me, but this just doesn't make any sense. Applications are the reason we use computers, not OSs, and to have to make such sacrifices is IMHO just silly. The whole OS holy-war thing seems so played out to me...its 2019 just use whatever works..no one care really.

Add to that the apparent political nature of the openbsd "manifesto" and guidelines and I'll just say that I, personally, am not a fan of mixing politics and OSs.
I can’t address the root point in public. You’ll have to take my word for it that I didn’t know what the point was at all when I wrote about sources (though of course, being sentient, I had an idea of the kind of point it would be).

My attitude would be dangerous if Project Veritas were the only entity talking about the dangers of Google. But I find, opening a news tab, that everyone is deeply aware of Google’s reach and power and how it could be problematic. So ignoring known liars doesn’t mean I’m missing vital information. As I said: someone honest is probably making those points, and I certainly listen to such people, from both sides of the aisle, and some of whom I even agree with on some points!
Except for the functions in the touchscreen, where it appears they’ve taken Tesla’s approach but done a shittier job of it
It can be hard to imagine for some of us, but sometimes those bottom rung progressions are essential. Injuries can set you so far away from 'barely acceptable' levels of strength that you end up doing wall pushups for weeks before you can consider doing them from your knees. So absolutely, if that's where you're at, it's a pushup exercise.
Personally I think they do shoulder some blame. But I certainly think things could be made significantly easier for the average person to do the right thing.

Nutrition science is very complicated with very strong biases and conflicting results. It makes it difficult to actually know what to eat, the media doesn't help by regurgitating every single crappy study that has a catchy or provocative conclusion. (The rubbish getting published and the peer review process is another can of worms)

There are many companies with a vested financial interest in selling appealing but unhealthy food. People are effected by advertising and what is easy, that isn't their fault.

Exercises for staying reasonably healthy doesn't really get taught. Things could certainly be made easier, for the average person.

Google’s Jigsaw Was Supposed to Save the Internet. But It Became a Toxic Mess
> The reason YouTube is, and will remain, the pre-eminent video platform is because it was run at a profound loss for over a decade, losing hundreds of millions of dollars at a clip, for no reason other than to totally suppress competition.

No one actually knows whether YT is technically profitable as a sole entity. So the premise of your argument and the argument you're referring to is basically flawed unless you have insider information.
Wowza is a great product. If you want to build a huge custom VOD + live boradcasting product, it is a great way to do it.
What normalization? Physical violence is extremely uncommon, but grossly overreported by the media. If it bleeds, it ledes.
- using one RPI running as a cheap desktop/internet/YouTube computer in a living room, because I don't want to accept the "Terms and Conditions" on my TV regarding automatically sending all my usage data to the internet
- using another one to regularly backup all my data
- using another two for undisclosed projects
- planning to use another one as a Subversion repository server to store all my company documents which I share with my wife who is not a programmer but has learned to use Subversion (which BTW is better to store large binary documents than GIT)

I grew up on a poor diet and eating various (not all) veggies seemed bland. It only took about 2-3 weeks of clean eating (no meat, minimal sugar/salt) to "reset" my palette to where everything natural started tasting delicious.
> It's really a site by programmers for programmers

I question your use of "really" here. If it were really that, this wouldn't have happened. As far as I can tell, what it really is is a for-profit business, where the owners are the ones who decide things like what "a reasonable profit" is.

I agree, of course, that this is (somewhat) out of line with their previous ways. But almost any for-profit social site is an elaborate bait-and-switch, where it starts free and lovely and gradually moves in the direction of profit maximization. You'll find veterans of almost every social site saying how it just isn't like the good old days.

If you don't like that, maybe you shouldn't do a lot of free work for people who are making money from it. Wikipedia, for all its flaws, is much more accountable to its community than any for-profit site will be.
The answer to your last question is 0.

"Impossible" means "impossible", not "unbelievably improbable".

That's even more true when you ask about "mathematically impossible", as it reinforces the idea of formal logic being the relevant domain, where precise meaning of words is fundamental.

If you adjust your question to be "at what probability is it unreasonable to claim these problems are unrelated?", then the answer is subjective - different people have different standards for reasonability.

I think we'd need mountains more data than we have about the incidents to compute a meaningful probability, anyway.
No, the debate is fine of course. But you framed your question as an oblique attack, implying some sort of ethical deficiency on the part of the parent. It presumes the least charitable interpretation of Aloha's comment -- that they are doing nothing more than comparing lives to dollars using a binary criteria.

In reality, the debate over mandating safety technology is nuanced and not at all straightforward. Airbags are a great example. Yes they save a lot of lives, no question. But they're also explosive devices aimed at your head from two feet away, which can easily add tens of thousands of dollars to your hospital bill. Ask all the folks whose wrists are broken by airbags that deploy in otherwise relatively minor fender benders. Never mind the fact that airbags are a lethal threat to small or frail people like kids and the elderly and disabled.

Airbags themselves are quite expensive. They add thousands of dollars to the purchase price of a new car, and they cost thousands of dollars to replace, if their deployment didn't cause your insurance company to total your car, which it frequently does.

I keep only liability insurance on my car, because that's what I can afford, but that also means I probably can't afford to fix my car even after a minor accident if the airbags deploy. I appreciate the airbags' protection in the event of a catastrophic wreck, but I also live in just a little bit of fear of them because they can conceivably total my car and break my arms if I get rear-ended. It happens often enough that there are attorneys who have built careers on airbag lawsuits.

So yeah, there's lots of room for argument here, and no surprise that there are strong feelings about it. And it also shouldn't surprise you that passive-aggressive comments to the tune of, "So exactly how much is a life worth to you?" might get you frowned at a little.
I miss the Justin.Tv days. Made a lot of friends there.
I think geographical location of viwer makes a huge difference in all the factors.

As she emphasized when viewers are from India or Philippines the revenue is 1/4th the normal compared to US or other developed English speaking countries, as the publishers bid 4X more for those viewers.
There's a plaque on the wall of a building on the main street of a town I used to live in, which says something like "This marks the site of the tavern where the townspeople assembled in July 1776 to hear the Declaration of Independence read aloud. The news was greeted by much cheering and toasting."
How can they compare your appearance to a picture if they don't keep your picture on-file?

One thing I can think of is that R is not well suited for computationally expensive work --- by "computationally expensive" I mean something that takes months to run on a cluster. Not only is R 100--1000x slower than Fortran, but it also does not have strong support for parallelism or GPU computing. I have yet to see a computational fluid dynamicist using R. Though Python is also not much better in that aspect, it can be used as a glue language to interact with native C/C++/Fortran code under the hood.

I find it quite ridiculous that a discussion about the matlab language in the context of free software projects does not even mention the excellent interpreter Octave. I say "ridiculous" to be generous; in reality it seems mostly bad faith.

Cheap, gross pizza is a thing, and you just have to pick it up. IIRC a Costco combination pizza will provide enough calories for a largish adult for two days, and is $10. No oven, no kitchen, no gadgets, no cooking required. It'll even probably still be fine to eat day two without refrigeration. Ditto all sorts of other dirt-cheap gross pizza joints, not just Costco. Math works out almost as good. Or cheap frozen pizza on clearance (talking like Totinos or store brand here, not even anything as fancy as Freschetta) if you got a freezer and an oven.

It's also incredibly unhealthy if you ate it regularly, but hey. Cheap, tasty-enough calories hitting every "food group" from the good ol' pyramid. Though arguably not fruit, I guess.

[EDIT] I'm always confused when folks talk about healthy, fresh food being a slam-dunk price win over bad food. I can only assume they are not familiar with what's actually out there, in the bad food universe, and are just looking at how expensive full-price Frosted Flakes are or whatever. I find it damn hard to compete with $5/day/person like that Costco pizza, without resorting to a bachelor's rice-n-beans-n-whichever-veggies-were-about-to-go-bad diet.
So apparently the video was about how to light fireworks using WiFi, could it then be the case that it might fall under a 'dangerous handling of explosives' guideline instead of the 'showing users how to bypass secure computer systems'. The Google support pages says there are other guidelines not listed there.
"[R]econstruction of Thomas Jefferson's 'original Rough draught' of the Declaration of Independence before it was revised by the other members of the Committee of Five and by Congress":

https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/declara/ruffdrft.html

It already contains all of those. If anything, Jefferson was cribbing from George Mason. But all of these men were well read (e.g. in the works of John Locke), and they presumably were well read in each others' publications considering their political and social associations.
Doesn't Twitch have similar rules regarding not advertising other streaming sites? I mean, its reasonable trying not to give free advertisement for your competitors.
I wasn't aware of that, but it's charming to think of Pornhub deleting videos for being "Insufficiently Pornographic", and then for the uploader to argue that anything can be pornographic to someone. Eventually culminating in a court case based on the "I know it when I don't see it" principle.
The courts can draw this line & determine these distinctions, and they are doing just this right now. Jones is currently being sued by some Sandy Hook parents. It turns out we don't need to rely on Youtube of Vimeo to be the ultimate arbiters of this issue, and the system may just be working in this case.
What if Microsoft was offering the best solutions to enterprise, and that's why they kept their stranglehold?
This is another argument I hear often. Firstly I don't think many people aren't making that argument at all. People are complaining about Youtube's policies and how they deal with speech on their platform.

Youtube don't appear to apply their policies in an even handed manner. I think most people would be fine if Youtube if their enforcement was strict, IF it was fair.

However enforcement of TOS seems to be arbitrary and seems to be either politically motivated, incoherent or a knee jerk reaction to whatever the current moral panic at the time is. This isn't helped by the fact that any of the appeal mechanisms on the site seem to work on random chance principles.

As for whether Youtube is some sort of public service. Keep in mind it is a monopoly on online user generated video. There is no other site that even comes close.
Exploiting a buffer overflow in sprintf was a lab assignment in my computer architecture course, iirc I had to watch a few youtube videos to really understand what I needed to do (my TA wasn't particularly helpful).

Not to go all slippery slope, but are BosnianBill and the Lock Picking Lawyer next?
> i think kin selection in and of itself is supporting of consciousness

Why would you think that? Evolution operates on a population via shaping the distribution of traits via selection. The selection is being done by the environment, not the population, and requires no conscious entity.
Twitter notifications and DMs were also down today.
Indeed, and for a little longer than 12 years!

Flipping through a few of his notebooks, I guess he's from the part of academia that was core Matlab-land, engineering-style number-crunching. Mathematica is mostly people doing symbolic things, and people doing lots of stats are yet another story.
Does Google have a real life name policy?
Regarding commenting on other people’s appearance: this is something I find personally super tedious. When I am at work I really don’t want people to start commenting on my appearance, both negatively or positively.
I do not have the technical know-how to evaluate their claim that the video is unedited, nor have they earned the right to my time to validate it if I did. If the video is egregious enough, people with less mistrust than me will do the legwork, validate it, and will push it up the trust chain until I get it from a source I trust, which will say “this was originally leaked to PV, but we have done extensive checking and believe it is genuine.”

At which point, well, I still won’t be able to comment on it, but at least I’ll stop saying “dismiss this source out of hand.” :-)

(EDIT: small tweaks to spelling and phrasing.)
China cares about Unity. American coins are minted with a Latin saying "e pluribus unum", which means "Out of many, one". It's a reminder that there were 13 colonies that united to become one. Hence the name the "United States of America".

China and America are alike in that they value unity. The difference is that America has never lost a territory whereas China lost two: Taiwan to Japan and Hong Kong to Britain. In the process the people in Taiwan and Hong Kong who valued Chinese culture were killed by the Japanese and British and the ones who remain went along with the new regime to survive.

China is trying to reclaim their land and people. But unlike the Japanese and British, they don't want to reclaim it with force/violence because the people of Taiwan and Hong Kong are Chinese. Instead they are looking for a more agreeable path towards re-integration.

But honestly, it would be easier to do what Japan did to Taiwan b/c then the protests would end quickly and all you'd be left with are people who are outwardly compliant. It's a tricky situation and the western world is really playing it up to make China look like the bad guy while ignoring how Taiwan and HK were taken over to begin with.

Reminds me of how foreign powers split up Korea and Vietnam into North and South. After dividing these countries up they became weak.

Hence the importance of unity. China doesn't want to make the same mistake.
Does real-world code loops so much in constexpr code that optimizing its evaluation is worth it?

If so, why invent another bytecode to do the evaluation, with the risk of introducing inconsistencies? Couldn’t they add a flag “must be fully constant folded” to the compiler intermediate code, and, if (likely) necessary, optimize the LLVM constant folding optimization passes?

As a bonus, that could help other languages with a LLVM backend that want to do similar stuff.
I prefer the milestone level system for the same reason, you're leveled up after important character moments or plot advancement so you're not incentived to kill everything
"As of this week, the U.S. Treasury yield curve has now been inverted for a full quarter"

Just in case you don't want to be clickbaited.
I reduced it to a minimum so we could find points that we can agree on. I think self-awareness is a more complex system of consciousness, such as sentience. Which I do not believe an air conditioner is.

For example, is nature (evolution) conscious?

I mean this in the most literal sense, the system which created your definition of "consciousness", is that system itself consciousness?

The material that makes up our neurons once came from a non self-aware system. (basic minerals, etc.)
It was more that we clarified what was and wasn't patentable, as I don't think software was exactly patentable before that either; its patentability and the ability to enforce said patents were ambiguous. Patents on software are not quite completely banned, either, as, from your link's linked source, "Processes will still be patentable if the computer program is merely a way of implementing a patentable process."

Unless there's a client I can run locally, it's not decentralized in any meaningful way. Needs a link to the means I can sign up, login, and use this without relying on your web server at all.
You can find examples of unmowed yards that are still beautiful and functional in many desirable urban-residential areas of cities. I'm thinking particularly of Hyde Park in Austin, Somerville in the Boston metro, Capitol Hill in Denver, Burlington VT, and much of Portland OR. It's not until you hit the suburbs where HOAs have dug in their claws and stand in the way of "cookie-cutter" ever becoming anything but.

In Colorado, check out the Colorado Native Plant Society or the Colorado Cactus & Succulent Society. Denver Botanic Gardens is also wonderful with outreach and education efforts, but they're not strictly focused on native plants (as far as I know).
There has been immense progress in ammonia synthesis catalysts, in recent years. There should be a Nobel for them, but I doubt it will happen.

For small-scale production, practicalities of providing chemically pure nitrogen and hydrogen may be gating factors, rather than actual synthesis.
Oh I see, it was supposed to align in real time, I missed that. Thanks.
Sadly the mainstream coverage of this issue is woefully lacking. Yes, everyone knows that Google is powerful and that's dangerous but you rarely see very explicit evidence of this and how they are biased. As much as it pains you, you probably should take the 5 minutes required to watch the actual footage. At least then you'll understand why Project Veritas isn't an important part of this story and why people are strongly disagreeing with your position. Jen Gennai's words definitely speak for themselves (as do the leaked documents).
Don't forget all the people who are, you know, bowing. Seriously, I'm pretty sure it rejects your captcha if you do. Sheer evil genius all the way through.
Just the usual FUD combined with a generic comment that only makes vague assertions. It's really just nonsense.
YouTube's policy appears to ban videos that "promise users they will see something but instead directs them off site in order to view." As far as I can tell, mentioning that you have a Twitch channel should be fine, but creating a video called "my sick game livestreaming" whose content is a guy telling you to go somewhere else to watch your sick livestreaming might be seen as this type of spam. Honestly, that sounds pretty reasonable to me. Maybe I'm missing a story somewhere about them doing something worse?

I think this is the policy here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801973
It's not censorship by the definition used by law, no. It's still morally ambiguous...
> Privacy _is_ a binary thing, either something is private or it is not.

I strongly disagree. If I tell something to my attorney it is still relatively private, but obviously not if I had never told anyone.

If I have a deep secret and I tell my significant other that secret asking for their confidence, it is still relatively private but not as private if I had never told anyone.

I agree that, if you absolutely need total control of information, then the only way to 100% guarantee that privacy is to tell no one ever.

But I think being absolutionist when it comes to privacy expectations means you may have a very hard time convincing others of your opinions.

> If you let some company, which will do who-knows-what, record voice in your house

This is exactly the point we are arguing. We should be able to find out from the company what they will do, and if they deviate from promises they make they should be held accountable.

I should be able to let some company record my voice in my house, with strict conditions on what it will do.
This was my favorite feature in winamp and itunes. It doesn't seem to exist in many music apps. I couldn't find an android app that does it, and spotify doesn't do it on any system. On desktop, It's possible to script spotify behavior, so with some work I was able to define a global keyboard shortcut to choose a random album and play it. Not perfect, but gets the job done.
Player.fm has the worst of those I’ve seen, I can hit collapse HN thread reliably but their comparatively huge x takes 3-4 attempts on mobile.

I loathe it so much I stopped using it entirely and just book marked my favourite podcasts like a filthy savage.
OMG, the caged rocks that have shown up all over this place the last few years! There is no reason not to have a plant yard in Germany and Austria - even if you never water, there will be plants, and at most, running a lawnmower over them twice a month will keep the neighbors from getting too mad at you.

We have a sorry-looking conventional “Rasen” (grass lawn), but I’m looking into how to turn it over to clover for happier bees and less ongoing work.
>The same argument could be used to ban any videos showing weapons being used

That has actually already happened, to a certain extent (depends on the weapon). This is just the next step.
