Huh? You think it’s some kind of projection? How do you explain the great, huge underwater vessel the 4 pilots saw? It was seen visually. The FLIR and radar reports were from different people on two separate training exercises and from the Princeton.

The pilots claiming to have seen the large underwater craft and the tic-tac saw it visually only. The radar on their planes could not pick it up. They watched it for 5 mins and engaged it ( flew at it aggressively, they did not have active weapons). That is where they saw it acting erratically and stopping and starting as if you threw a ping pong ball inside an invisible box before “noticing” them, and mirroring their movements as fravor flew down in a large circle, before cutting across the circle at the tic-tac. It then flew past them as “incredible” speed.

That would be quite the laser pointer to make that scene.
You can find them on Amazon pretty easily. That's how I bought my 4k dumb TV.
This headline seems a bit sensational in trying to blame favorite privacy scapegoat, Facebook. I would first blame the device maker for selling such data, but I bet half the reason this occurs is due to figuring out which CDN to use given Akamai is one of the companies receiving the most data?
You said very little, I asked you to clarify, this is a cop-out. You have a faulty definition of skepticism, it is an easy-for-you-to-attack caricature. Plus, you've made no claims that require skepticism. You only implied them. I asked you to make them explicit but you got cold feet or something. This, combined with your comments in the other thread about wanting to believe there is something greater and that we are not alone, is enough for me to stop engaging.
"and I don’t know Fermin, but taking a CSO role there would suggest to me that he believes in it."

Sure, but Fermin was also offered a fairly ridiculous amount of money and a serious promotion :)

I mean, he doesn't not believe in it, of course, but i also think most folks would have taken the role in his situation.

IE it's not the kind of offer that really required a lot of faith

I'll try to write a bit more later after i think about how to frame it :)
I’d rather not name drop individuals or companies, partly because I don’t know that these entities want their business relationships public, but neither of the companies you named. I’ve also used it myself (you can too, at lgtm.com). I’m aware that MS is a customer, but I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone there about their experiences with it. As far as static analysis goes, which is inherently limited, it’s far better than anything else I’ve tried (which is most of them).

I do. When you say this is an "unidentified aerial phenomena" or an "unidentified flying objects," that means it's unidentified. As in: we do not know what we are looking at. You don't get to say, "well, we don't know what this is; therefore, it must be aliens." You say, "We don't know what this is. Until we have more information, there is no conclusion to make." Nothing more. Full stop. The end. And, certainly not technobabble.

From the video it seems they had instructor's access.

But in the real life they could save a draft and view it a student to see if they can hijack the session.

Another perhaps lesson - if security really matters - perhaps instructors and students should have completely different decoupled apps to do the job. (security through obscurity)

> If that's the case, why not read the pilots into the test, even at a summary level?

Because (1) need to know, and (2) fueling conspiracy theories to keep an appropriate background level helps when you want to dismiss actual conspiracy as a conspiracy theory, which the government periodically needs to do, and people can play their role in that best when they believe what they are saying.
Amazon sells dumb 4K TVs.
Is part time available?
It’s called ACR data and it’s very common. And yes, TVs are phoning home with it.

And GDPR only requires that you opt in. So when you sign into the TV for the first time, it gives you an opt in choice and many do it. The States is less regulated but will be soon.
Good. This will enable cheapwr cara nationwide, if not worldwide. Hopefully reasonable federal standards will fill the gap quickly.
Jesus, is this really that hard?

Suppose you had one legitimate transaction, and one fraudulent transaction. Now, suppose the bank had certain evidence to show that the legitimate transaction is legitimate that is sufficient from a legal perspective to refuse your refund request. Then, suppose the bank had no such evidence to show for the fraudulent transaction.

And now pay attention: THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE FOR ONE OF THOSE THAT THEY DO HAVE FOR THE OTHER MEANS THAT THE BANK CAN DISTINGUISH THEM. Got it?

I was talking about cases where the bank is NOT ABLE TO DISTINGUISH an actually fraudulent transaction from a legitimate one. Your response "but if they are able to distinguish them, they have to refund you!11" is just completely irrelevant to the point that I was making.
At least Bret Victor’s lab found some funding to keep going, HARC’s LA lab was completely disbanded.
Now that I think about it, I lost faith in the Internet Archive some years ago. During the rise of ISIS (or whatever we're calling it now) I occasionally came across Internet Archive links for their English publications. But whenever I clicked, I found that stuff had been taken down. And I'm pretty sure that the publishers hadn't requested it.
Some smart TVs will join open networks if you don't give them one. And I expect that if 5G works as advertised you'll see surveillance capitalism adding 5G connectivity so you no longer have control over connectivity.

But what about the next experiment?

How are you going to keep the other pilots from figuring out they're test subjects?

Especially if any word about the experiment got out. Swearing another pilot to secrecy versus letting them think you're nuts for the rest of your lives, I think they're gonna pick door #1.

The redesign is objectively terrible, adding megabytes of bloat to each page load for the sweet sweet ad revenue.
At twenty, I had a wife and a five year old daughter. We had been living on our own, in our own apartment for about a year (no longer floating between parent's houses). I was in my second year at university on a near full ride (tuition totally covered, books and living expenses were mine). I had just taken my first programming class and worked nights for a friend's start up making $8/hr (2003) programming in php between 10pm and 2am a few nights a week. I was also the youngest student hired at my university to work in the graphic design department, and worked maybe ten hours a week there. Upon graduation, I would leave tech and not return for ten years. A very hard ten years.
I prefer to architect to use redis in an ephemeral way. Redis isn't exactly safe in the same way postgresql was up until very recently on newer linux. The semantics of fsync on Linux have been esoteric and poorly understood in the error cases. I would try to cause fsync to fail in another process, while memcached is shutting down and immediately recover. I wonder if the authors checked this scenario. Redis kindof does the right thing and will eventually put the right thing on disk but why do it?
If you're going to call his use of those terms incorrect, can you explain a craft travelling supersonic without jets or rockets, leaving no emissions, utilizing no airfoils, consistent with our understanding of physics?
I hope it's communicated that they're not expected to finish. If I was given a coding challenge with a time limit I would assume I was expected to finish inside the time limit and make any sacrifices that needed to be made to achieve that - including ignoring testing and hoping I just don't make too many mistakes.
>How is the world now so filled with people who are afraid of ideas?

Catholics used to attack Evangelicals. You see the Evangelicals had dangerous ideas that had to be eliminate lest the common folk would be lead astray.

People have always been afraid of ideas. This nonreligious religiosity is novel but we've seen this play before.

> IRC is objectively terrible. If you ask a question, the only way to get the answer is if you stay logged in until someone answers you. That's like buying a phone that doesn't ring unless you're already holding it up to your ear, or an email client that deletes all your email unless you happen to be looking at your inbox at the moment a new message arrives.

Well it's a good thing Slack and Discord don't work exactly the same way but with a nicer UI and no need for a bouncer to emulate a persistent session.

Say this was some new aircraft or FLIR spoofing secret test and the US knows that (insert adversary country) intelligence is aware of the program. How would seeing this video affect the adversary?

I guess what I'm saying is (whether real or fake) this could be a controlled leak for strategic benefit.
Lots of repetitive data with a relatively flat structure can be a good argument to get away from JSON, too.

Let's set aside binary formats for a moment. I once sped up populating a large-ish table of data by an order of magnitude - and achieved a pretty decent reduction in data volume, too - just by switching the format to CSV.

Here in NJ, its required but I rarely have one. My Audi A6 didn't come stock with a front plate holder (and honestly wasn't aesthetically designed for one) so didn't have one for its 3-year lease. I was never pulled over for it.

I removed the front plate off my Wrangler to install a winch and haven't been pulled over yet.

I do prefer to back into parking spots, but I'm curious why you think it increases safety?
Exactly. I understand skepticism when it comes to ufos, I’m of the belief most of the reports are nonsense and/or the ramblings of the mentally ill, attention seeking, etc. but, I feel like people should at least have read or listened to the pilots to have an opinion on this one.
Not the OP, but I'd say use only Kubernetes if you have the time to dedicate for the team to learn that technology and it's mental model.
ah yes, those virtue signalers always calling for UBI, just like Nixon, the worst of them all!
Sorry fsync_always is a redis setting, not memcached. The fsync is to a real disk.

The parent poster's comment about redis being crash safe to 1s is just the default.

Which is why I obviously was not talking about that.

OK. Now, the bank demonstrates that you committed fraud (that you didn't). Now what?
Completely agree. I used Sprint's 128kbps roaming and it's better than nothing, but so many basic things just won't load. iMessage and Google Maps were decent (particularly if you download the map for offline).

What doesn't get mentioned enough is that 128/256kbps roaming absolutely kills your battery because the phone's radio has to stay on so much longer.

Not for attribution. It’s for exposure. If Pepsi buys $1M in ads on NBC, it only knows the DMA and time slot/programs it bought the ads on. It doesn’t know the households it bought the ads on. With ACR data, it will know that you were exposed. From there, they can do a few different things. Audience studies (like they reached 2000 households with a certain income etc). Or they can run attribution studies. A company called Data+Math looks at exposure of these kinds of ads, understands which households weren’t exposed (as a control) and gives statistically significance calculations on linear TV ads to understand lift of sales (one example).
Oh no! They have a business model!
It depends. Say you spend 8 hours of dev work to save 1 second of processing time per call. It will take 28,800 calls until your time investment pays for.

This assumes the cost of dev time is equal to the cost of CPU time. In some cases the additional speed is going to return more value then the cost of the dev working. And other time the additional value of getting the product to market is going to win out.

Archives are reflections of the societies that build and curate them, and the Internet Archive is no exception. Over the curse of centuries, every society is undergoing cultural changes and archives do adapt to those. The Internet Archive's practice of immediately and almost indiscriminately publishing everything they just archived on the internet very much reflects the spirit of the early internet of making everything accessible to everyone everywhere but it has become too radical in an US that is increasingly pro-censorship. It's only a matter of time before they implement means to at least hide content that is offending select incredibly powerful groups. Had the archive existed 100 years ago, it would have had to bow before the National Legion of Decency. Now it has to bow to others. Bowing to different kings as their rules sprout, blossom and wither is just the business archives are in.
> In the end we would ask ourselves if the economics of transporting grain from remote areas is worth it economically, and we can leave the environmental issue out of the equation.

Looking at complex issues - especially issues involving the environment - through the single lens of economics is dangerous. It's like deciding that the best way to get someplace is to drive 140 MPH, because it's the quickest. And you can leave safety out of the equation.

Um, other countries actually have laws / regulations / entitlements around PTO/annual leave. America doesn't. Literally any day off is a gift from your employer or something you've negotiated, not something guaranteed to you by law.

When it's guaranteed by law, it's a totally different dynamic. You accumulate your PTO. You put in requests. They are usually approved. You don't need to provide an excuse. You carry them over the next year if unused and you get them paid out when you leave your job. This is what Americans don't understand about this concept.

On the flip side, people don't just wander in and out of the office and disappear when they feel like it (as senior people in the US tend to do) without telling anyone. Everyone puts in leave requests even for an hour, even the boss.

Well, it's "socialist" in the sense that the society (OK, the state, but whatever) matters far more than the individual. But I do agree that they used the term to confuse people.

That doesn’t make better business sense. Latin America and Iberian Europe already have great local papers obviously with local flavor and politics.

Ban collection. Permit surveillance with a warrant.

There's currently an amber alert for a 5-year-old girl (presumptively) abducted here in NJ [1]. They don't (that I know of) have a license plate but if they did I don't think any person nor court would have an issue with a warrant enabling automated surveillance of that plate number.

In an idyllic scenario, you could even enable automated collection and storage but only allow access with a warrant.

Hundreds of thousands? Most people don't go that deeply into debt. I think the average is like 30k. And that includes loans for housing costs.

Also, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Huge chip on your shoulder about something that has nothing to do with you. You are so mad about someone else thinking their college experience was worth it.

Don't disparage people who felt like their education was worth it.

You have no idea about other people's life experiences and how they came to the conclusions they have come to.

So maybe accept that some people got a lot out of college and your experience is not universal.

> What if your partners mothers mom was put in charge of a maple tree conservation arboretum, and decided to cull all the oak trees, but she kept confusing maples for oak trees?

She’s not in charge of any arboretum, that’s the point I’m attempting to get across.

We have reached a point where the collective We are treating random people having random casual conversations as if these random casuals have the same weight as experts in their fields. We have collectively started to treat what used to be completely understood as casual forum discussions and casual opinion pieces as if these hold the same weight as an authority in their field publishing a well documented, far more rigorous, and well cited paper. We’ve allowed a fogging in the ability to distinguish between casual people and rigorous experts and this is the outcome. An intelligent collective should never hold these two opinions at the same weight.

My idiot cousin by marriage, who has a very real lack of critical thinking, who has a degree in “google research” from “the school of hard knocks” however, she does have a knack for writing in such a way which absolutely resonates with uneducated mothers. She writes as if she’s an authority in child vaccinations, she regularly goes into her closed facebook group and convinces other mothers why they should ignore their doctors and not vaccinate their children. Her words have more weight than medical research and medical professionals.

She seems to pull the card which almost always seems to work on a certain segment of the population – the “narrative” card. The target of this “narrative” charge is for some reason automatically assumed to be nefarious and the person who spotted this so-called “narrative”, their words now hold more weight than the actual expert in their field who had a “narrative.

We need to get back to a point where my words regarding the best methods to pick coffee beans mean little when compared to an actual coffee bean farmer, because my field of expertise lies elsewhere. I can read an article or three on coffee beans, but there is no rational universe where my words should hold the same weight as actual experts in coffee bean farming.

Until the collective We are able to say, “I don’t know.” or “I can give you my opinion, but you’d be far better off listening to Jill, she has far more knowledge on the subject.” until we get back to a rational discourse, we’re going to continue to find someone who is outraged because some idiot on a forum or some idiot made a video, used the wrong term and falsely labeled someone.

We need to get back to a point where the smartest people in the room are the people who say “I’m not sure. I’m not an expert. I don’t know. I don’t know the nuances of that vast field. I don’t know.”
