> They wrote awful words, and put them in his mouth, in order to support a narrative in which he said something which he didn't.

Actually they did not do that, they simply parroted what had been posted on medium by Selam G.[0] in her call to remove Stallman[1].

Not trying to defend the media, they clearly did not do their job of fact-checking and jumped of the bandwagon of making outrageous headlines to make money, but the actual responsibility of misrepresenting RMS words to call for his removal lies on the original author.

I learned this and other interesting history from the audiobook version of "The Ultimate History of Video Games" (even though it's slightly dated now, the history is still the same). I'd recommend it if you're at all curious about the stories of the formative years of video games.

Actually it's not Turkish. It is an Armenian food, some of the Balkan states also had it in different forms and different recipes at the same time. Those predate even the ancestors of the Ottoman Turkish empire. This is again, part of the genocide. After committing the actual murders, the culture is stolen all good things are now claimed to be Turkish. They did this also to the Greeks, Assyrians, and some of Balkan states.
And what standard is that—not allowing leaders to discuss cases objectively in public in case they might be misconstrued?
Selling the 'We' trademark to your own company is damning. It's difficult to feel like you need a deeper understanding of Neumann after that. Maybe even more so is WeWork entering into lease agreements with properties he had a stake in on the same day that he obtained that stake. Unbelievable.

> But I think DoH is catching up since Firefox and now Chrome are going to support it. I would assume Apple and Microsoft would follow along and add the DoH support to their browsers.

I think DoHs will end up being the standard that 'wins' as such because DoT can be banned by governments who do not want you doing it.

In addition to that I can see at some point DoHs becoming DNS over QUIC. It seems as if QUIC is now a part of HTTP/3 so that's quite likely.

When the standards finalize:

• https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-transport/

• https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-huitema-quic-dnsoquic...

What is interesting is DNSCrypt https://dnscrypt.info/faq also acknowledge that fact under the section for DoHS:

I like this idea a lot! It would also be neat to just distribute the material from certain core subjects like history across several other courses. So in history you're learning about the Ottoman Empire and in home ec preparing börek. Or WW2 in history and cryptography in computers class.
Clarify your goals. You can do.
I find this whole thing absurd. How could a Stallman that leverages a US military contractor to do good in one area of rights, exist if he could not bend his own logic into a pretzel in a way that accepts evil money and redirects it based on pragmatic logic?

The US is engaged in finding an equal hated group among the left and right and then attacking anyone who is remotely associatable with them or willing to make any argument that implies a defense of someone associated with them. We have seen this behavior before and it does not ever end well.
This is good advice, you don't want to find yourself in a lawsuit with Oracle.
The fact remains that when not following 'best practices' - you leave yourself (and those that you horde data on) at risk.

I think that the upsetting part is that most don't volunteer their data to these guys. They simply get spoon-fed our data, profit greatly from our data, and then grossly mishandle that data, failing to follow even simple security best practices throughout.

> You can check if this holds by inspecting the covariance matrix.

Just a clarification: if that’s somehow correct then it’s not about the 2x2 covariance matrix that gives the linear relationship between two variables. Because two variables can be correlated and the joint distribution be a multivariate Gaussian. And two variables could be uncorrelated and not be independent; the covariance matrix doesn’t contain much information about the joint distribution (unless joint normality is assumed).

That outcome is academic, as the parent specifically said it wasn't an issue.
All three metrics you mentioned can be evaluated using writing. In fact, writing makes up most of the communication in a remote environment.
I suspect there might be a better way of phrasing this, though I am not quite sure how.

The example you are showing here relies on dynamic typing. When you use dynamic typing, pretty much all bets are off. When the website mentions error handling, it talks specifically about using exceptions. Take for example the following Ruby code:

def foo
# lots of code here
raise TypeError, 'Foo must be of type X'
end

When you call this method, you have no idea what it might raise. If you're lucky somebody might have documented this, or maybe there is a test that clearly shows this. This is what we mean with unexpected errors: an error popping up (intentionally or not) that you were not aware of.

Inko tries to tackle this by requiring you to tag methods with the error type, and limits you to only a single error type per method. Combined with having to use `try` or `try!` for such methods, this makes it immediately clear that (and what) a method might throw. If a method tries to throw without the tag, it will not compile.
> It's worth a huge premium because it's getting a monopoly.

A monopoly on real estate?

Yeah no.
Another easy solution, if your kernel is appropriate (goes to 0 at infinity such as a Gaussian, Matèrn or Exponential kernel), is to set a threshold under which your covariance is set to zero and to use a sparse representation for the covariance matrix (you can even be more extreme and set a fixed number of entry to be non-zero giving you a fixed memory use).

One feature I really like to see in projects like this is the ability to break the 'result' window out in to a separate tab. Codepen does it (the 'debug' mode), but it loses the live refresh. I think Codesandbox can do it too. It makes them much more useful.

Why? As long as both people are consenting I don't see an issue with it. What makes the person "lower than dirt"?
I can’t help but think that this is an example of jumping to the wrong solution too quickly. Is the problem that the web doesn’t contain as much high-quality content anymore as before; or that independent content providers are having a hard time making a living. I don’t enjoy the web as much as I used to, but I am pretty sure that in the early days almost nobody was making money off the content they created. So maybe the problem is discoverability rather than compensation. It would be helpful to see a little more of the analysis that Mozilla has done to define the problem.

Can we please stop excusing bad behavior with some form of "oh because autism"? It's an insult to the many, many neuro-atypical people who don't say shitty, stupid things online, who don't act creepy around women, who don't have a sign on their MIT office that says "Knight for Justice (Also: Hot Ladies)", who don't have a gross mattress in their office where they encourage people to lie topless, who don't try to pressure women into dating them by saying they'll kill themselves otherwise. All of those things describe RMS, things that have been mostly quietly ignored and hand-waved away for decades.

We don't have to tolerate people who make women feel unsafe and unwelcome in our (or any) industry.

You seem to be arguing the usual tired old thing: "but he's a genius and does such great work that we should tolerate the bad things he does". I really thought we'd started to move past that over the last few years.
Coming Up with a new mention monitoring tool
The concept is simple: Tracking mentions worldwide for any given keyword or phrase. (Your company, brand, your competitor, keywords of a campaign, anything)
The data is crawled from all the search engines, news websites, social media sites, blogs, forums, communities, review websites and video sites.

The launch plan is to give free subscription to 1000 users.
And the platform will be closed for signups and it will be invite only. There is another option of submitting your details and we may approve you to be a free user.

But my question here is will this low end disruption model work? Do you guys use mention tool and if not, would you use a free one?

If it's one thing i really dislike within both the scientific and the technological sphere it's this arrogance disguised as common knowledge. Because it's not.

Something like this happened to me. My wife and I were in a serious car crash; we were almost entirely uninjured, but I apparently lost the ability to form new memories for several hours. I also temporarily forgot some older memories and permanently forgot almost everything that happened over the past 36-ish hours. The doctors checked me VERY carefully for brain injury, including a CAT scan (so I'm told!) but couldn't find anything, not even a surface bruise. Professionals I have met over the years have hypothesized either a psychological effect due to shock or some minor, hard-to-detect internal brain damage just from it sloshing around inside my skull.

The most interesting part, for me, was that while I was in hospital I was visited by a guy I'd met for the first time the previous day, during the lost 36 hours. I instantly remembered his name but was also quite sure I'd never seen him before. That was weird.

I have an unusual stance on this as far as I can tell.

I for example almost agree with the dummy deconstruction on JFK. What I think is missing from postmodern talks is that such an interpretation while possible is strictly below the actual reading of words.

You can theorize about how and why things were said, but claiming to understand the deeper motive for a statement is irrelevant to the truth of the statement.
> RMS has called himself "borderline autistic".

As someone actually autistic, he doesn't get to blame being a douchecanoe on being autistic.

Then _learn_. Also, we're not talking about not getting social cues about when it's okay to start talking, we're talking his considered and repeated position on issues such as sexual assault, and his _actual actions_ towards teenagers.

No, the lesson is: don't treat women poorly, period. And if you happen to be a notable public figure and treat women poorly, it'll be that much worse for you. Giving your work away for free and being idealistic doesn't give you a pass on bad behavior.

I would agree that the severity of RMS's remarks regarding Epstein/Minsky is lower than the press is making it out to be. But Stallman's bad behavior stretches back decades, and this oddly-shaped, not-entirely-correct straw happened to finally break the camel's back. Good riddance.

The scientists were holding their discussions in a small room, and as they talked, “[Epstein] was in the back, on a couch, hugging and kissing these girls.”

This object is clearly not a one-off. The people who made it made similar objects, perhaps many similar objects, and probably made other objects with similar skill requirements. This is the only one we have, however. What else did they make? What sorts of tools, clothing, weapons, houses, wagons, etc? We can only speculate. Still, I doubt they were what we would consider cavemen. These were civilized humans living in a fashion most humans today would recognize as human. We have to go back quite a bit further to find anything I'd call "the dawn of man".

Keep in mind, there are tribes living in "neolithic style", with little or no clothing, no tools besides rocks, etc. still today. The existence or even domination of such people doesn't determine the timing of the "dawn".
