Can you give an example of a tribe and product offering? I’ve been researching Canadian indigenous communities and it seems the autonomy is even less than US tribes, but that the provincial and federal governments is just much less staffed (big area, low population, low interest, apathy)
Another controversial translation is the English localization of the "Ghost Stories" anime [1], which the authors were desperate to sell to Western audiences despite flopping in Japan. The show is full of hard-to-translate cultural references, so the translators quite drastically changed the tone of the show.

I would say Ghost Stories is a successful example of "satisfying the market" via something like an "official parody" of the original work, but it definitely doesn't remain faithful to the original. I'm glad it exists, and it has creative value, but it definitely fails as a "translation".

As always, you just have to follow the money. The Conservative side of politics is intertwined with the resources industry as this investigation by investigative journalist Michael West in conjunction with Greenpeace showed [1].

With regards to the election result - I wonder what proportion of LNP voters are actually just plain selfish? I imagine it's high but there must also be a proportion that are just taken in by the false narrative (I know at least one). There were two massive lie campaigns, one pushed by the LNP and one by Clive Palmer (at a cost of $80 million allegedly), which were amplified by a mainstream media that no longer appears to consider checking whether claims are true is any part of their job.

> there have not been any groundbreaking new jazz artists in the last 30 years.

Speaking of ignorance...

> [rap] literally incorporates and uses so much jazz.

It incorporates a lot of jazz via sampling, but otherwise unless we're talking about freestyling then it's missing the central component of jazz.
The SWC benchmark is not an effective way to test bug detection tools. The SWC only contains contrived examples that are not representative of vulnerabilities in real code. As such, it fails to capture important outcomes like false positives, which quickly lead to developers uninstalling the tool, and rewards "noisey" tools that simply alert on everything.

It would be more effective to test bug detection tools against a database of real smart contract code with precisely identified vulnerabilities and example patches. Any benchmark must contain more than simple tests: it must approximate real software with enough complexity to properly stress tools for automated bug discovery.

There is more discussion about what a good bug detection benchmark looks like in our own Challenge Sets from DARPA (https://blog.trailofbits.com/2016/08/01/your-tool-works-bett...) and something we were working on that is similar for smart contracts in "Not So Smart Contracts" (https://github.com/crytic/not-so-smart-contracts).

You'll note that ETH Zurich and ChainSecurity came up with their own benchmark that meets the description above when they evaluated VerX in the paper I linked above. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of those test cases since they'll help us improve the functionality of many of our tools.
Hand-written HTML may have had the occasional error but when tools (remember FrontPage and Dreamweaver?) started to be used their output was dramatically worse. This was certainly not controversial at the time. Nowadays with templating languages and frontend frameworks (React is operating on the DOM but it is still just HTML elements in the end) there's still a human picking the elements and attributes that are rendered, even if there is a layer of indirection. So I don't really get the argument that hand-written HTML is bad, especially since it's ubiquitous. HTML was designed with hand-authoring in mind.
I assume by precautions you mean have periodic eye exams to verify that a particular contact lens prescription and model is still right for you. Once you have that, it really doesn’t matter what reputable source you get the lenses from.

Arguably annual exams/prescriptions are overly frequent for some people. On the other hand, bypassing verification on line is fairly trivial.

While I am 99.9% certain you are correct, there is a chance it malfunctioned. What you are saying is exactly what people were saying when people first started claiming they couldn't stop their Toyotas from accelerating years ago, and then it turned out there was some merit to their claims.

inferno is cool because it takes a lot of great ideas Ken and rob pike came up with for plan9 to address unfixable architectural flaws inherent to Unix's overall design, and basically makes an vm based portable OS/userland that is everybit what Java could have been.

And then of course Rob Pike, Russ Cox, Ken took what they learned from their background at Lucent and paired it with Robert Griesmers background in developing innovative VMs for Javascript and Java and they essentially put everything they learned to develop the Go programming language.

Which if you get into the architectural aspects of it. You know actually dig into how it's implemented deep down you will see a lot of code that is essentially derived from plan9 and inferno's code in many ways.
Its been so nice since iOS has had a QR code reader natively in the camera for a few years

Mobile devices having this natively was a dream back in the beginning of the decade

Android OS doesnt have this natively so the devices dont reliably have that still

Reason 25 to just stay away since there a fundamental limitations to android getting better that have nothing to do with overpowered hardware and customization
That shows that it's not practice that makes perfect, but perfect practice that makes perfect. Making the same mistakes over and over again will not make you less likely to keep making them.

People also write various texts a fair amount during their school years, but we know from experience that hardly everyone is great at writing because of it.

I stopped using Indie Hackers because of its terrible UX.
Maybe I can consider this in more familiar terms, as if both sides have guns. Do they use them differently? I at least can't know for sure. What it boils down to for me is which side do you want to win? Being fair and impartial doesn't mean considering that both of the nations are the same and the outcome will be the same if either side wins, with only a different name and flag for the victor.

If the US wins, a rough semblance of the freedom and democracy the "West" is accustomed to will be able to face other existential internal or external threats. If Iran wins, the end. We start over at square one winning back our freedoms. Maybe we start immediately, maybe it takes 1,000 years. If I have to choose, I want the US to win this one. It doesn't matter who started it, who is doing it worse. I would like things that support the regime in Iran to stop supporting that regime (in the most humane way possible). And I would like the US, with all its warts and flaws, to win a cyber war with Iran if one must be fought.

Maybe this all sounds extremely unlikely, but the first step towards a superpower like the USA to lose to Iran is for the USA to not be trying at all, and Iran to be trying very hard. Also nuclear weapons are a great leveler.

Therefore the USA must do two things at minimum. Try to have cybersecurity supremacy over Iran, and try to keep Iran from having nuclear weapons. If both of these objectives can be met we don't need to fight them, we can leave them in peace. If either is not met, this war might have to get very physical very quickly. So right now the sanctions don't look so bad, among available options. Not saying there aren't better options, but it's above my pay grade.

I think this is true in agggregate and over the longer term - but can run into collective action problems where the narrow interest of some is to get richer quick or who can perversely help themselves in the short term by ruining others.

Equally there’s the possibility of some of the rich not really understanding this or not buying into this philosophy- look at some of the countries with increasing inequality and a disappearing middle class and you’ll always find some lobbying against spending money on services - including things like education which serve as an economic common good and which drive the economy over the long term.

This is an interesting outcome. It is something that I've also been bothered by the Dark Matter hypothesis which is how it is always "somewhere else". Dark energy theories tweak the equations the other way and are equally troublesome. The idea a bunch of people can be used as a detector is pretty humorous too.

I expect that resolving this question will be the source of many Nobel prizes.

Like the author, I also never pay attention to lyrics but unlike him I hate most jazz.

I don't like it because of several reasons. Firstly, the saxophone doesn't translate well to electronic mediums; it reminds me too much of the buzzing sound of a fly. It gives me a whiny, nagging feeling... puts me in the mood for swatting a fly.

Secondly, I associate it with the concept "superficial" - Probably because of the way it is used in movies.

My understanding is the omega-3 oils are problematic for humans too, they’re just not as acutely toxic as the omega-6 oils. I started avoiding seed oils in college. It was not the specific intervention I needed, but I believe avoiding this anti-food has helped keep me from deteriorating like people commonly do...
Wealth is relative to others in society. If the pie grows, I maybe better off in absolute dollars. But if the percentage of the pie I control decreases, I am relatively poorer. Comparing how much wealthier/happier/successful/beautiful I am to my previous self is niether as satisfying nor as real as comparing to those immediately around me.

I also wouldn't think a conspiracy is necessary. Just lobby to write tax, tariff, and property laws out in the open that benefit one class of people/industry more than another.
My kid had a Palo Alto summer camp around 2009 where they did this. It was a new camp for kids too old for Foothills. Just a week, and they did several things, the last one being dropped away from camp and told to find their own way back (in groups of three). One group made it in 45 minutes, a couple more in an hour, and the rest...ranged from 3-5 hours later.

He thought it was great, but Palo Alto being Palo Alto that was the only week that particular camp operated. Sadly.
"Supported" in the sense of "not letting being conquered completely by Iran." Who was carrying out its own mass executions of non-Muslims and implementing its own cultural revolution around that time.

America definitely had some self-interest in protecting Iraq, but it's not like the alternative was clearly a better choice either.

Hm, I get a different impression from the article. In both examples the author gave, I preferred the "improved" translation over the author's translation! And these were his hand-picked examples! Needless to say, I'm one of the people the author mentions who find more faithful translations "endearing" even when they have small mistakes.

I think I mainly take issue with "cultural translations" that intentionally alters a story (even slightly) in order to make the characters/plot/context more appealing to western audiences. When I consume translated media, I appreciate it when the translator makes an attempt to preserve the aspects which made the work appealing to the original audience.
They're not, but Vancouver is a very international city and owning a single family home is hardly a fundamental right. People who choose to live in Vancouver on Vancouver salaries pretty much have no hope of owning a home. That most locals can't afford it doesn't make it unsustainable unfortunately as long as there are enough people willing to live there anyway.
My heart breaks for these devs. I've been able to launch a successful development career specifically because I was born in the US (and my parents left Iran). If I was the same person in a different geographic area I'd be struggling under sanctions.

Companies definitely need to push back on extra egregious legal teams who want to block services Iran, as it's mostly paranoia and not that the services actually fall under the jurisdiction of our sanctions. I know amazing people at Google who are doing this work, and I hope others at other companies do the same.
If I remember correctly, no. The encoded string has a format like `WIFI:T:WPA;S:mynetwork;P:mypass;;` (see https://cweiske.de/tagebuch/wifi-config-qrcode.htm).

It's up to the qr code scanner to share the string with the appropriate app.
You don't have to clean daily disposables (like Hubble).

I mean, I'm sure some people are reusing daily disposables, but the idea is to just use and toss.

I switched to daily disposables a few years ago (out of ~15 years of contacts use) and I kick myself for not doing it sooner. I no longer have to spend like 4-5 minutes a day cleaning the lenses or throwing 2 week disposables 1 week into use due to protein buildup, and they no longer aggravate my allergies either.
I am an instructor (for the scout leaders) for that kind of trip, and love winter camping. It's a lot tamer than that these days. But some of the kids get excited and take it up "on their own time". We've had some great sub-0 F trips with some of the more adventurous kids.

US scouts are always shepherded around by adults. In Germany you see them moving around autonomously.
"Jazz" encompasses such a huge variety of styles and sounds, it's almost meaningless to say you categorically like or dislike it.

When people say they hate jazz, it's probably because they had the misfortune of listening to jazz they disliked before listening to jazz they liked.
Some people like to think of/portray China as being uniquely nefarious on matters like this. It's reasonable to point out that occurrences that could be considered comparable are happening in Western countries too.

FWIW: I'm not expressing any opinion on whether events in China and France or elsewhere are comparable or not, or whether one is substantially worse. But I do appreciate having these things pointed out so I can consider and research them myself.
Agreed. It's very much a sunk cost/escalation of commitment fallacy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escalation_of_commitment

Also bad is that junior engineers see shoddy client side code and internalize it. As an example, one junior engineer asked me how he was supposed to iterate over an array server side when I told him he didn't need to use Vue on a page. Server-side rendering fixtures had been completely forgotten.

I accept my responsibility in causing this mess though. I niavely pushed the SPA on my myself, my coworkers, and our end users years ago and have to live with that sin daily.
In pretty much the same time it takes for the HTTP 200 to arrive I can also download a few kilobytes of HTML. Latency will still dominate.
I tend to agree that I don't like the harsher saxophone sound, but there are some great usages of the sax without that. Paul Desmond (played with Dave Brubeck) is a great example of this in my opinion.

Well I consider my self a "real" Greek (being Greek and having lived here all my 37 years of life).

I'm not giving excuses to why Greece has come to this state; this is a very long discussion but I don't think that the Greeks are the only one to blame.

Yes some of the things you mention are true but what's the cause of this? I mean why would an average Greek buy a Mercedes to show-off instead of invest these money to his business as western EU people would do? That's what I tried to (I guess very naively explain): This is a culture thing; it seems that the Greeks have a different mentality than the western Europeans, a mentality that is closer to the Middle Easterns.
I've toyed around with the template-strings-to-markup approach before, but couldn't quite figure out how using `map` to generate dynamic lists avoided doing a full O(n) loop upon each update without some kind of diffing engine (other than the browser's own markup diffing).
A piano rendition of a song previously only sung can still be recognized as that same song. However if you sing a song previously only heard on piano, recognizing that song might not be so easy.

Although now that I think about it, the only instrument that can really compete with throat singing is the Jew's harp. So in that limited respect I think you might be right.

I don't think you need a conspiracy to get to a place where in aggregate the decisions of people in control create or perpetuate a poor underclass.

Just like some companies make decisions for the benefit of the next quarter, rather than the next 5 years. If you are able to make a decision that increases near term metrics, at the expense of some other metric you aren't even paying attention to (like making poor people poorer) I can see that happening independently thousands of times a day.

Take payday loans, more commonly used by people with a lower socio-economic standing. They aren't there to create an underclass, they are there to provide a service (loans) at a cost that matches the risk (ignoring the conversation about the cost not matching the risk due to predatory loans). But if decisions are made to increase profit from payday loans, a natural consequence is that the underclass is going to be made more of an underclass.

This is just one example, and it's clearly got some issues. I have no problem imagining many other decisions that will help create an underclass. Maybe the impact is 2 or 5 steps removed, but each one makes a difference, and leads to in aggregate "the rich work to keep the poor, poor".

But what do I know. I'm a developer who took one econ course.

Solaris, from which came OpenSolaris, which was forked into illumos, from which SmartOS is built.

fsync(2) there does exactly what POSIX says: it will only return success if the write safely made it to disk.

This is the #1 reason why all my infrastructure runs on a combination of Solaris and SmartOS and the primary reason why I don't run GNU/Linux on anything that's mine. #2 reason is that Solaris / illumos and therefore SmartOS will not overcommit memory, whereas in GNU/Linux this must be explicitly disabled, since overcommit is enabled by default.
As the former PM of a competing dating app, I agree.
There are of course arguments against doing this and in support of sanctions, but I feel for this person.

I think, given that the Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts, never met a first amendment argument that he didn't like, these restrictions could probably be eliminated if not narrowly tailored.

Any significantly large software company could sue to overcome general software export restrictions on First amendment grounds, but most likely they won't. Politically it would be shooting themselves in the foot and inviting wrath from Trump, and they don't get paid to support free speech, they usually just do it incidentally.

Perhaps a little more likely, The EFF could sue again.

Somebody should ask the EFF about export controls on software during their Defcon panel on the 10th or something.

Let's be specific what we are talking about here. We are talking about a country funding lots of militant groups that kill lots of people.

So, let's rephrase your original statement to instead say "just because they continue to fund militant groups that kill lots of people".

Rephrased that way, your original comment does not sounds so reasonable.

- The nations with the most freedom also have complex, efficient industries and markets that provide high standards of living
- These nations have complex governments designed to protect people from each other and from external threats
- These nations are technologically advanced and highly reliant on things attached to networks
- These nations have a lot more information freely available, and access to things

All this adds up to a much larger surface area. It's like we're in a stone throwing fight and one side is living in a glass house and the other side is in a mud hut. Losing a cyber war could destroy governments and economies in the West. Imagine no electricity everywhere, no water, no sewer, no planes or trains, no tv or internet. It would be an apocalypse. The same thing happening to Iran might be difficult, but mostly annoying. I'm not sure. In North Korea most people wouldn't even notice.
