In short, is this an intellectual exercise or something that should be in an SVG producer's toolkit?

This is exactly how transport worked when I was a kid in India.

A nearby city is hub of everything, doctor, shops, food, fashion, ration everything. 15-20 villages are between the next similar city. A single bus starts from City A, usually empty in morning, & picks along people on the way to City B. There,it turns around, & conductors start shouting City A & Villages names, along with dramatic words like Leaving Soon, Hurry Up, Almost Full, Lets Go, Run etc. But it will run only at either its designated time, or if full, whichever is earlier.

Thank goodness we live in a republic where majority opinion from non-specialists doesn't determine policy.

I'd wager that 95% of Americans are not qualified in any way to speak to conservationism and the myriad of inscrutable legal issues that come with it. Of course you'll get a load of positive replies when you ask a random person on the street if they support the "Endangered Species Act" or if they would prefer to see it "weakened".

Until you've seen a $150 million data center project abandoned because the FWS wanted a multi-year, multi-million dollar study on its effects on the local spotted boll-weevil population you don't fully understand how destructive and absurd the legislation has become.

We need to be environmentally conscious, not because of CO2, but because of real pollutants that are harmful for human health. For CO2 we need technology to control weather, which is not as crazy as it may seem at first. Even the most naive approach of building large number of aerostats to change the amount of light certain regions get would work, it would require large investment, but all the solutions suggested by climate change people require large investments too, and this one would be actually useful.
Of course this affects DoH servers, too.

No, I don't think so.

The protocol in question is entirely internal. They could rip it out and replace it with something totally different, apps shouldn't notice.

The CTF server can also be made to validate its inputs much better, again, no compat impact.

This is another case where Google seems to just take delight in screwing Microsoft and its users here. The 90 day deadline is meant for vendors who don't take security seriously, but Microsoft do. I'm not sure what is gained by releasing this before it's fixed.

If there was any reason to believe that the authorities were "altering the narrative" or trying to hide information then I would agree with you that there's a case for this being a pretty valid case of whistleblowing.

Given that the death apparently occurred an hour before the post and a news outlet reported it less than an hour after it that seems like more of a stretch.

No real way of knowing, but it seems likely that OP was just trying to achieve notoriety through their access to privileged medical information. I'm not really ready to cheerlead that, especially if it muddies the water with any ongoing investigation regarding (unlikely) suspicious circumstances.
Another thing that people do is to "see" patterns in random data, and perceive "trends" from anecdotal experience that aren't necessarily happening.

America never had faith in expertise, that's just your younger self being blessedly unaware of people around you.

Very politicized headline IMHO. Legislation gets "traded" all the time. Not every liberal proposition is good or bad. Nor is every conservative proposition. Nor libertarian, etc. The congress-people trading votes for other votes, and block voting to pass or block legislation is the crux of the problem. Each item should stand on its merit, rather than be a beachball batted about a concert venue. I watch local enviro-lobbys, some whom I support, engage in the politics more than the environmental stewardship people typically picture them as. And we don't need a law for everything.

Basically, no, it doesn't (unless something has changed a lot since I worked there; I haven't kept up very much since then). Intel designs and makes their own chips, so they don't want or need a contract manufacturer.

This is like saying Ford's factories have no competitors, and that's true too. Ford isn't going to farm out their car manufacturing to some other company. (I mean the final assembly; of course carmakers routinely get various components from suppliers, such as airbags, infotainment computers, seats, etc.)

Chipmaking is a little weird because, unlike carmaking where the automakers all own and operate their own final-assembly factories, or aircraft makers like Boeing which own their own factories, chipmakers are frequently "fabless" these days and do the design work but partner with a fab like TSMC to actually make the chips. Intel is an exception and doesn't do this.

Do you have a source for any good bone conduction headphones? I have a damaged eardrum that stops me hearing low frequencies.

Recently tried a demonstration at SF's Exploratorium which involved biting a metal bar, and the result was incredible!

Most bone conduction headphones I find when searching (eg AfterShokz) appear to rest against the bones around the ear, so I'm not sure if they're as effective.

One thing is trading features for money, the other is artificially crippling the product just so you can release a cheaper version. For what, to justify unreasonably high price for complete version?

The second part sounds kinda like “They don’t know they got screwed, so it’s completely fine”.
Point taken.

At the same time, I'd note that anything can be debated ad nauseam, so nearly everything can be considered subjective.

So indeed I can't aim to 0.00000 tech debt, nor identify "avoidable" tech debt with 100% accuracy.

But I _can_ follow certain practices and have a given team follow them. Those practices being quite objective, benefitial, and superior to the status quo of the industry.

My wife has fairly classic synesthesia, with letters and numbers having colours and "character" etc. I don't have that, but I do have exactly what you described with numbers, months of the year, and years having an unchanging position in a mental 3-d model. The model for each of these is a bit different, but each could be described as a kind of winding road.

So I wouldn't say I'm synesthetic, but at the same time I can't really point to a clear difference between how my mind associates numbers with locations in a spatial structure, and how my wife's mind associates them with colours.

I also can't really say how those associations are different from the kinds of associations that the mind seems to make to anchor new experiences and information into memory. I'm not explaining that very well, but overall I half think synesthesia seems more like just an atypical manifestation of a probably universal human trait, and less like a rare oddity.

I don't know either. People seem to automatically assume that a Western response means military intervention. That's just unrealistic. The US and Europe have significant diplomatic and economic carrots and sticks at their disposal. As you say, asset freezes and travel sanctions are the most likely as would economic sanctions.
It's called Windows for a reason ;)

Even in Windows 10, the Windows kernel does a LOT of stuff that's GUI centric. Indeed the entire Windows API is totally GUI centric. The fundamental IPC primitive is window messages, which is a microkernel-esque very fast inter-thread/process context switch tool. Like in seL4 or similar you get to send two numbers this way and not more, and it's optimised heavily. Other IPC systems you'd expect to be GUI independent like DCOM end up using this under the hood.

It used to be that the entire GUI subsystem ran in kernel mode, because context switching was very slow and it made a big difference. In Vista+ large parts of it moved out into a separate privileged process, but the kernel is still involved in IPC, I believe. So when Tavis says "the kernel is creating a new window on behalf of the process" that's not quite correct, I think. Various subsystems get involved in creating windows and mostly not running in kernel mode anymore.

Question 1: For Arrived residents with enough equity, is there going to be an option to liquidate and "buy out" the property they live in?

Question 2: What kind of stability can the residents expect? In particular, can the portfolio offer some stability in rents after moving into a property or do renters still have to worry about rents being jacked up x% a year ad infinity? Similarly, is there any risk of being not "renewed" on a lease (i.e. portfolio decided to liquidate the property)?

Except general phishing sites won't use them, which means they won't do anything for investigating phishing. There's no need for phishing sites to use them since users don't notice.

The only real scenario where they'd be used is in a spearfishing scenario where it's worth the risk in order to snag a high-value target, especially because it's a lot less likely that your misleading EV cert will be captured by investigators (once you're done with that one target, take down the site before anyone can look into it).

I set up custom search keywords in every browser I use for this, among many other custom searches. In that particular case I query xe.com from an address bar search (not affiliated with them I've just always used the site) as xe <amount> for my most common currency conversion and others like xeyen for Japanese rates, xegbp for British Pound, etc. Takes me right to the page.

Even for various Google services I set them up to save unnecessary clicks.
To be fair a lot of the time I can get the info I need directly from the search.

- I use Google as a calculator and a unit of measure converter including currency

- I don't hesitate to "define WORD" when I don't know a word which gets displayed at the top

- What is the capital/population/square miles of

- Who is/cast of/CHARACTERNAME actor

- What muscles are used with movement/machine

- synonym/antonym WORD

- SONG lyrics/"turn off your mind relax and float down stream" song/'Tomorrow Never Knows' band

Actually, every single time I open a Google tab I query "define define" first so that I have the search bar at the top and not in the center of the page. Don't judge me, you do weird stuff too.
Style-Based GANs – Generating and Tuning Realistic Artificial Faces – Lyrn.ai
One of my hobbies is comparing and contrasting apparent synonyms and trying to discern the contours of thought through language usage.

This made me want to muddle around in the middle ground between rational and sane. Immediately at hand we have the 'human being' use case; when do we call humans 'rational' and when do we call them 'sane'?

Similarly we can ask what sorts of non-human things do we call sane and which do we call rational.

Rationality in humans appears to be quite temporal, while sanity moves much more slowly. A person can be rational one second and irrational the next, then 'get over it' thereby becoming rational again. Whereas generally we speak of sanity 'slowly slipping away'.

The outcomes generated also seem to have an effect on which words we use. When the outcomes behind events seem outsized relative to proceedings, we might call the whole thing 'insane'. Whereas 'irrational' seems to refer more to smaller-scoped outcomes, the operative aspect simply being that they're intransigent to ordinary reasoning.

As such, 'hypersane' seems to be a similar quality of sanity, and on a continuum you might put 'insane' at the far left, followed by 'irrational' then 'rational', then perhaps 'hyper-rational', followed by 'hypersane'.

What does this leave out? Could someone be hypersane and irrational at the same time? I don't think that's the intended understanding of the hypersane concept. In fact, I would venture a definition of hypersane to be someone whose 'irrationalities' are actually expressions of a more universal rationality. When Diogenes did seemingly irrational things, he was really picking up on broader social themes and dynamics and acting in ways that would confound and amaze rather than merely annoy and hinder. Diogenes' self-expressions might be more or less rational at any given time, but that he had a finger on the pulse of ancient Greek culture is undeniable, so he's eminently distinguishable from a 'mere' madman.

Whereas someone who is insane's irrational expressions are expressions of individual rationality, hopelessly entangled with the individual's own personal foibles.

So what is sanity, if rationalism captures the idea of 'self-expression being intelligible to others'? Even a madman is going to have prescient moments, perhaps they abound in them, as far from the mainstream they are. Perhaps it's the 'capacity of output' that makes up the difference. Terry A. Davis' life, may he rest in peace, was made infinitely better by his masters-level education and programming skills. They gave him a form of agency and ability to fascinate and participate in society that the guy in the red outfit that I pass by frequently on my way to and from work doesn't seem to have.

It sounds exactly like you're making fun of these people for not getting as authentic an experience as you think they should have.

"If you can't be a tourist the way I think you should be a tourist, then you should just stay home and look at photos on Google Maps!" Do you have any idea how much of a pretentious person this makes you sound?

Personally, I avoid any American restaurant chains abroad (and usually do at home too!), but I'm not going to tell people to just "stay home" because they aren't backpacking and staying in hostels like I have. That's some pretty serious arrogance. At least these people are getting out of their comfort zone a little. It's pretty impossible to travel in a foreign country without being exposed a little to the local culture, even if you have a tour guide escorting you around everywhere.
Too bad. Otherwise they could have traded some equal sized land back, like Finland and Sweden did with Märket.

Any thoughts on how someone could validate a set of cables to ensure no trojans exist?
It remains to be seen. What you described is exactly what happened though, that's just truth. Whether someone murdered him, or he was conveniently allowed to commit suicide, it's just as bad, and just as much a sign of corruption in the government. I keep seeing people argue that if it turns out that he really did just commit suicide, then the conspiracy theories about murders must not be true. But that's completely false. Epstein simply being able to commit suicide is every bit as much of a sign of corruption and criminality within the government, as someone sneaking into his cell and murdering him.
Correct. Apple doesn't make money off of your interaction with BofA either way. They care that you have the best experience and continue to use their platform, but whether you use bankofamerica.com versus a mobile app, it doesn't matter.

Note here that using the mobile app is in no way any form of lock-in, because the exact same app will exist for Android too, and it's free, so there's no barrier to switching platforms.
You're right - it wasn't a very good example, and it is a valid idea for a community. There are plenty of communities online for people with depression, anxiety, people on medication, people with mental illnesses...

I think there's more than a translation issue here though. I don't think the author really knows much about the community he's trying to serve - and its not just a subtlety of language thing.
