Interesting. I never played more than a few minutes of this game, because the learning curve was more than I was willing to put in at the time, and I died on the first encounter.

Not to mention that you usually don't know about it until you get there, so you don't have time to look up anything about it to see whether you can avoid it. I read about it after buying my last ticket and learned about the passport thing, but that was because I'm interested in what the TSA does and follow security and privacy blogs.
I assume it is a typo. The comment is inconsistent.
Conversely, they depend heavily on Chinese manufacturing -- for something like 70% of their production and also rely on Chinese markets for a significant portion of their profits. When Xi comes to Tim Cook with the options: "lose 70% of your manufacturing and 50% of your sales or let us install this app" it's not really an easy choice.
Classical physics and quantum mechanics are already unified by shared mathematical frameworks. So not only is it possible, it's already been done, which is why people expect it to work for gravity as well.
I'd argue the best way would be to travel there and read actual histories from local sources. While it's nice to imagine a simple root cause to everything - it's not enough. When my great-grandparents settled in Appalachia about 100 years ago, they did it to find opportunity and escape the terrible working conditions of cotton mills. That side of the family are religious democrats who support unions and new-deal style economic reform and public education. They and their kids integrated culturally, most of them never left and never plan to. Their story is not an uncommon one, their desire for better government support is not out of the norm, and it does nobody any good to propagate a myth saying their culture of self-sufficency was decided 300 years ago when it was actually developed as a necessity after continuously being ignored. Cultures grow and Appalachian culture is no exception - we need to get past this shallow type of categorization based on original settlers.
Vast AI (https://vast.ai) are good, 1x GTX 1080 comes to about $170/month. You are charged by the hour unlike Hetzner.

There are obviously downsides to renting time from random individuals though, so it's not suitable for a server-like workload. Good for development notebooks or training.
If it is indefensible, I think at least the media should report what the protestors said in the chamber and let the readers judge.

What most people don’t realize is that Hong Kong does not have true democracy: both the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council are not elected from universal suffrage (the Chief Executive is nominated and elected by 1200 people out of a 7M population, while half of the Legislative Council--the Functional constituency--do not have broad representation), far from it. Also, some opposition members were disqualified after winning the election under Beijing’s influence.

One rationale behind storming the Legislative Council--which still had support after the event--is to make the point that the Legislative Council does not sufficiently represent public opinion. This claim is supported by the fact that, even though the pro-democracy group had far more votes, they had far less seats in the Legislative Council, partly due to Functional constituency. And many bills have been passed in the Council despite strong opposition from public opinion, where the extradition law would be the most recent example if the people did not protest in June. The lack of representation from the Legco is point 6 in the declaration [1].

I agree democracy is not to make demands then riot, but Hong Kong does not have democracy yet. And in the past month, a million went to the street peacefully, but the government did not respond to the voice of the million. It is indefensible that the government is not democratic. As for rule of law, one demand is to have an independent council to inquire the use of excessive force in the protest in June (point 8 in [1], see the news article [2]), but this demand was rejected by the government, which partly fueled this escalation.

I am sure Hong Kong people would consider better alternatives, if there actually is one. After the Umbrella protest in 2014 and the anti-extradition protest in June 2019, people learned that the government would not respond to a million on the street if there is only peaceful demonstration.

Regarding the flag, the flag is not a foreign flag, it was the flag of Hong Kong before the handover in 1997. Arguably the flag is related to the Sino-British Joint Declaration which protects the autonomy of Hong Kong from too much Beijing’s inflence, which the Britain just responded to [2].

It is sad that the media could only report the pictures but not the message. It is like reporting that there was a war leading to 4 July without mentioning the declaration of independence, and saying that the war was indefensible.

It's really bizarre the lengths to which the author goes to weave the "criticism by outsiders" motif into a critique which ostensibly targets a born-and-bred Appalacian. Three full introductory paragraphs about the guy who says “The thing I like about Appalachians is that they don’t need much to be happy. They’re content with making $24,000 year. They’re not showing off...” A massive full-screen width "When outsiders tell the story" Two long paragraphs introducing Vance without mentioning where he's from. A criticism of the Netflix adaption as "filmmakers from elsewhere will put[ting] their visual stamp on the region." 2 long paragraphs complaining about outsiders defining its territorial extent. 2 paragraphs explaining how politicians and outside media represent it. It goes on to promote it's own take on the region, unsurprisingly dominated by artists, activists and academics. But the force and worth of Vance's take would be ZERO if he was an outsider. They don't, of course, lie at any point about Vance's background, but it's a flagrantly dishonest critique nonetheless.

If the other commenter here is correct about Morganstown being only kind of half-Appalacian, as opposed to their claim of hailing from the heart of Appalacia, that really just puts the cherry on top.

Yes, monopolies might actually turn out for the better. I can't really think of an example but in principle why not, maybe this time it will be an enlightened monopoly.
I'm glad this article puts a spotlight on this, but my gosh! Could it be more vague? What are the subjects of the NSLs? Was this article written too soon after the documents' release to give a summary of the juicy bits?

To me this basically reads like "a company released some government documents". Is this typical of TechCrunch?
>They have to take abuse from narcissistic, harrassing men

The worst are narcissistic, harassing women who are presumed to be incapable of such behavior by people like you, and shielded from any consequences for their recurring bad behavior that spans across years.

Are Sixteen Heads Better Than One?
I stand by my whataboutism. A woman responding in a survey that she feels the victim of gender-based discrimination is doing nothing to substantiate her claim, not even giving her name if it was an anonymous survey. All it takes for her is to not get the promotion and some wheels grinding in her head going "Surely, it must be because I'm a woman". That kind of evidence does not weigh more heavily than evidence that exists in black-and-white in the form of rulebooks and institutional policy for funding agencies and science organizations which plainly state that women are to be put at an advantage. -- Some of the things I described were bits of anecdotal evidence. But the thing I wrote about the structure of the DOC scholarship is black-on-white evidence of discrimination against men, and many people commented with pointers to similar things.

About the survey: The question is actually a leading question. Why is sexual harrassment and gender-based discrimination being put in the same category? That very phrasing already suggests "If your boss got a little drunk at the company event, leading him to say nice things about your perfume, you clearly have a very good reason to presume that you not getting the promotion has something to do with that. Do you agree that's what happened to you in the last year?" If you phrase it like that, and 93% of the women go "Well, ... no!" then, really, I must complement the upstanding gentlemen of Max Planck!

About your third paragraph, which strikes me as a very recognizable feminist narrative from the 80s, just a few points that I'd raise as food for thought: (a) The way these organizations, in particular, work, it's not a game of musical chairs where you lose when you don't do the right thing at a key point in time. They are very flat organizations, more bazaar than cathedral, with reverse-hockeystick careerpaths. If you go away for a year, you just get to the same point in your career a year later. (b) Nowadays, men in Austria and Germany, when they have children, generally do take the opportunity that the law prescribes that parenting time can be split between man and woman. Not a single one of the men that I grew up with in Austria was an exception to that rule when they had a child. Not a single male colleague that had a child during the time I was working for a German company was an exception to that rule. When their wives interrupted their careers, so did they. Again, anecdotal. But there you go. (c) Austria is one of the countries with the lowest Gini-coefficients in the world. If everybody earns the same, what is the point of that "money is power is status and women don't have any" narrative? Many women prefer to be teachers, nurses, etc. If that doesn't lessen their status in society, then how do you explain it to a 5-year-old girl that wants to play with dolls, not robots, that you think that that's a problem?
Err. So they have two engineered mice that produce female babies only? So? What does this prove about anything other than that you can waste a lot of time making useless mouse models?
My guess as to the reason they’re in the directory rather than a separate folder is so you can rename/move it without losing all your metadata.

This is the single most thing that we all should be concerned about. I take it that we cannot do much about stopping government surveillance in the name of security. It's coming anyway whether we like it or not. A large number of population is already under this tech already.

I agree with you. This seems more like a "quality of usage" type of thing. Now when you look at who your Facetiming, it's like your actually looking at them, instead of their chin. Something like skin smoothing in the regular camera would be worse, in my opinion.

If true, this is worrying. It basically gives a handful of companies a monopoly over a potentially wide range of things. It is unreasonable to require everyone to meet a standard that relies on cutting edge technology.

>What if you do not want to trust anyone?

>Nope. Sorry. No easy to use options for you out there.

Sure but to an extent that's true about almost everything in modern society. If you don't want to have to trust those supplying you with food or water, there's really no easy options to completely supply yourself with either of those. And even with all the oversight and regulation there's still often good reasons not to fully trust (we all know about Flint at this point even if it was a bit overblown by the media)

It's hard to imagine a situation where someone would supply you with something without you needing to trust them on some level.
Maybe it doesn't, but I was planning to use it soon!

I'll have to pay a small sum to do the same now, but that's not a big deal.
I am reminded of a brief story about video calls in David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. Some excerpts:

Good old traditional audio-only phone conversations allowed you to presume that the person on the other end was paying complete attention to you while also permitting you not to have to pay anything even close to complete attention to her...Video telephony rendered the fantasy insupportable.

The proposed solution to what the telecommunications industry’s psychological consultants termed Video-Physiognomic Dysphoria (or VPD) was, of course, the advent of High-Definition Masking;

Mask-wise, the initial option of High-Definition Photographic Imaging — i.e. taking the most flattering elements of a variety of flattering multi-angle photos of a given phone-consumer and — thanks to existing image-configuration equipment already pioneered by the cosmetics and law-enforcement industries — combining them into a wildly attractive high-def broadcastable composite of a face wearing an earnest, slightly overintense expression of complete attention — was quickly supplanted by the more inexpensive and byte-economical option of (using the exact same cosmetic-and-FBI software) actually casting the enhanced facial image in a form-fitting polybutylene-resin mask,

If that was the case they could have just passed some handling fees to the indie artists -that would still be much more reasonable than the fees that the artists would have to pay to a publisher. I think the record companies -still in the process of understanding and adjusting to the new business model that Spotify established- pushed for this, one way or the other, to ensure that Spotify doesn't become a competitor like Amazon became to book publishers.
Invoke a slippery slope argument by name irritates me because the name comes from the slippery slope fallacy. It's poor faith debate because it's relies on the unfalsifiable notion that thing A will lead to slipping to thing B. Then you're just discussing feelings about how likely it is.

The Witness was one for me. The whole game made me look at the real world in a different light.

I played it with headphones on, and the volume loud enough to hear the crunching of gravel under my feet. The first time I found one of the "second kind" of puzzle, I nearly jumped out of my skin, and searching for them made me see things I hadn't seen before in ordinary places I visited.
>None of these capabilities have an existential requirement for a centralized networked infrastructure spanning the globe.

Yes, but I don't want to store every single movie, TV show, song, and news story locally and find a way to get them to myself without using the internet.

I'd love if more stuff happened locally on these devices, and I experiment with various other systems every now and then. I even have a fully self-hosted home automation system running on open source software using local-only radio systems (z-wave) to control things like lights, garage doors, and door locks.

There are things that do require some kind of internet access though, and other things that become much more reliable and easy to use when internet connected.

>Stop and think how ludicrous it is that your being able to...

I have, and so has my family. And we have made the decision that the tradeoffs are worth it for us.

Why can't people understand that I'm an adult, everyone in my household is an adult, and we are able to understand and comprehend the situation, and make a conscientious decision to accept the trade offs.

I'm not an idiot, I know there are risks, but the risks are low enough for me and my family to make it worth it. Just like how there are risks simply just getting in a car, and there are risks every time I turn my oven on, but they are all acceptable.

Maybe you should stop and think just how ludicrous it is that you seem to think it's impossible that someone else could find value in these devices, and that some are okay with limited tradeoffs with their privacy in return for devices and services which improve their lives. And maybe you should listen when someone tells you that they've weighed the pros and cons and decided it was worth it, rather than quickly jumping to the conclusion that they are wrong, didn't give it any thought, or are somehow being tricked.
Ranting about Gnome Shell Extension Writing
I like Gnome a lot.

The idea you can customize the shell using JS is just awesome, but... Nothing seems to work.

I'm reading the intro[1], where it first advocates the use of the Gnome Builder IDE

Fine, it's standard and should be easy. But it fails mysteriously after hogging yout CPU and provides you with unanswearable questions like:

> Rerun phase build
> Ignore and continue to install
> GIve up on module

Then the tutorial completely fotgrts about that and start speaking of Setting Up Eclipse, yeah.

Then they explain you it is not JS you'll be writing, bug kinda...

> const Workspace = new Lang.Class({
> Name: 'Workspace',
>
> _init : function(metaWorkspace, >monitorIndex) {
> // When dragging a window, we use this >slot for reserve space.
> this._reservedSlot = null;
> this.metaWorkspace = metaWorkspace;
>etc...

WHich honestly kinda rebukes me after page 2.

Then you need to learn a C API (JS my friends?)

> Clutter is a C programming API that allows you to create simple but visually appealing and engaging user interfaces.

> It works by transforming the c program API in general files(xml or custom files) allowing us to easily write a binding in another program language that can interpret it.

Please kill me now.

I wish we could have an atom plugin like ecosystem for desktop development. They seem to be heading towards not that different but with fundamentally different choices/constraints.

Again, please don't take this as easy criticism, just the first impressions of a dev willing to do cool stuff.

And Gnome guys, if you read me, please talk to the guys at Atom. Their thing is practically a JS OS and learning curve is close to zero.

Probably not able to completed during a single 3 months unless you do it full time, but I picked up a copy of SICP [0] and started reading through and working through every-single-problem. I got stuck so far on one problem in the first chapter toward the end at the moment. I will say, Scheme is fun! The problems can be challenging, short, and very rewarding.

However, maybe I'm not very smart and feel like I might have a very hard time with it. I'm not that great at math I don't think, nor do I consider myself genius like. Did people who go through this book do every single problem and figure it out themselves? There are a lot more problems then I expected. They are also, so far, some to be quite challenging and math heavy. It does really feel like it helps get my brain thinking differently about a lot of problems and I love it! But it also feels like I might start grinding a lot and burn out on it. Any tips or help or suggestions how to get through it successfully, get a good amount of education out of, and continue to be excited to keep moving forward?

If women have been earning more degrees than men since 1978, why are the majority of educated leadership still men? If women have been a majoritarian sex-based power movement for 40 years this should be plenty of time to replace professors, CEOs, business owners, presidents and vice presidents, grant reviewers, and significant, public-facing leaders of the world's top educational instutions.

Why is this not the case?
