Reminds me how you can compute pi in a hilariously inefficient yet very interesting way with a physics engine by counting collision of 3 blocks bouncing with one another: https://youtu.be/HEfHFsfGXjs
As far as I know QML still only supports ES5. That’s not very appealing if you’ve been working with Typescript or Babel for awhile. Plus all the node libraries people may be used to working with would be available.
We could solve a lot of those problems if we put a camera, or quartered a soldier, in every home.
I reject the idea that moving away from home is a necessary step to becoming a self sufficient adult. You don't have to move out to start taking care of yourself - you just have to pull your own weight, to contribute equally to bills and upkeep without having to be asked. Sure it's easy to fall into old routines, but I would argue that if you can't be independent while living with others then you really aren't independent.

I live away from my parents, but that was a choice of practicality - the amount of money I make by doing so vastly outstrips the amount I would save by living at home.
This just highlights the inherent contradictions in wanting a 'free market health care system'.

People say they want a free market health care system, but also they want 'fairness'..... and most people feel that being charged more for something outside of your control is 'not fair'. These two notions are at odds.

The only way to solve this is by having a single payer, universal health care system.

I rolled into Burger King and bought a normal whopper and a Impossible whopper for the express stated purpose of being able to say the thing I was pooh-poohing (meatless burger!? let's be serious, I said to myself) was something I had tried before.

Besides being slightly too burnt from the flame grilling of a high school kid, it tasted delicious. Quite comparable to the usual fast food burger in terms of taste, look, and texture. I would not recommend it as a steak replacement though. Could be hamburger helper if it retained its form when boiled.

I will opt for it again when available, admittedly I eat at BK approx. once a year.
I misunderstood your post. Sorry. I am actually for helping Hong Kongers.
I agree! I’m saying we should explain this phenomenon of luxury housing supply opening up more lower end units to people, rather than throwing our hands in the air and lamenting that people just don’t get it
Now THIS is the Great American Novel.
Sorry, that was referring to the homeless population from the article.

They won't pay for any energy costs[1]. That's a pretty tall incentive for a data center.

That would mean a lot to me, actually. 5 years isn't a "gold watch" anniversary. I hopped so many jobs early in my career that the "this is the longest job I've had" anniversary meant a lot to me.
I'd recommend you go watch Gattica.
Neither of those two things are facts. One is an opinion, and the other is speculation.
As a parent, I reject this disingenuous pretense of concern for "the children". Folks are eager to invoke children to justify the surveillance state while conveniently forgetting the plight of children when it comes to concentration camps, poverty, and climate change. Secondly, children themselves have frequently been the victim of surveillance abuses and there is no reason to suspect that this instance will be any different.
Not a Haskell expert, but I think I know what you mean -you are passing items by value to many functions and complain it's not modified in others, when you call them, or you need to compose flow so updates are properly "bubbled".

But with assumption that code was working before and you had for example function: use :: Item -> Item, and you change duration in this function, what else do you need to change to "bubble" new state? I don't get this.

BTW What's the problem with global store and passing only IDs ? I feel like this is probably valid approach and anyway ECS are implemented in similar manner AFAIK - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system
It's already been mentioned in this thread that the pre-1917 Russia had a lot of people living in poor conditions and had fallen behind Western Europe.

I am also not an expert, but my understanding is that they made some progress on things like education and literacy rate. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_Soviet_Union

It doesn't excuse the many things that went wrong during the period. But my intuition is you cannot say it was composed 100% of bad actors and total maliciousness or even incompetence.
attaching legs to a door sounds like overkill. For many years I had a door on top of 2 sawhorses. Easy to move. I used an indoor door so lighter than an outdoor door. Had no issues. IIRC I put cloth over the sawhorses both because the door sat better on cloth and because I could arrange the cloth to cover the end of the sawhorse sticking out to avoid spliters.
Housing is perfectly reasonably priced in all sorts of places. Because demand is lower. Because jobs are fewer and the salaries for those jobs are lower. This isn't a coastal elites vs. working-class midwesterners issue, either.
Lolli does this by only paying out when you accrue enough, and possibly uses the lightning network for payout which makes micro transactions of bitcoin much cheaper. Pei, does this as well.
> I don't suppose, the data can be moved to some other DB.

In most cases you can, depending on what you are switching to/from it might be a pain in the ass, but it is entirely feasible.
In a medicare for all situation, the biggest problem would be pumping up the system to handle a huge influx of new claims. I imagine roll out would be "in 1 or 2 years, everyone will be enrolled in medicare". Which would give the federal government time to hire enough claims processing agents.

Hospitals are already setup to bill medicare so that isn't an issue.

After that, it will just be businesses making the necessary arrangements to cancel current insurance plans.

What is going to be weird is "How do we handle HSAs" and "What does supplemental insurance look like?"

The industries I see negatively impacted by this are the healthcare industry (harder to charge huge prices for medical treatments in a single payer system), the insurance industry (I doubt many individuals or employers will opt for supplemental plans), and the pharmaceutical industry (government has more negotiating power over price when it isn't a single patient paying for it).

An optional medicare plan would be, IMO, a disaster. It is basically the worst of all worlds. Everyone pays more for medicare, not everyone can afford it, and we are still in a weird mishmash of payment that will depend entirely on who your employer is, if you opted in for medicare, etc. If it goes down like Obama care did, I can also see some red states deciding "We aren't going to allow medicare opt in!" which would, frankly, defeat the purpose of making the opt in happen. Further, it sets itself up for easy repeal later on.

Medicare for all, once given, will be near impossible to take away.
I gotta say, the Figma team's blog has been on fire with quality posts about their sandbox.

They've posted all details about their sandbox implementation, then all the details about this dependency vulnerability that they were on top of, they showed how they reviewed logs for exploitation traces to find there was none, and finally described their strategy for future proactive protection.

Kudos all around!
> Who do you turn to when you get scammed, hacked or robbed when it results in lost crypto funds?

The same thing has been said about self-checkouts ("Who do you turn to when you can't find an item?"), self-serve purchasing models like AdWords or AWS ("Who do you turn to when you need customer support?"), and self-employments platforms like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Postmates, etc. ("Who do you turn to when you want time off or career development?")

The actual response to all of these is "Well, I'll figure it out myself." People who use self-checkouts generally know how the aisles are laid out in their favorite supermarkets, or they just walk until they find things. People who use low-volume AdWords, AWS, or SaaS vendors turn to forums & StackOverflow when things go wrong. People who drive for Uber just stop working when they want to. Similarly, people who want to avoid getting scammed, hacked or robbed with cryptocurrency do their research on vendors; they do Google image searches on headshots of ICOs and look up founders on LinkedIn to see if they're fakes; they keep their crypto on a hardware wallet in their physical possession; they use strong passwords and 2FA that they don't re-use for any other sites; and they don't talk about their Bitcoin holdings on the Internet.

All of these developments are controversial, because you actually are losing a human interaction that some people found helpful. That hasn't stopped them from growing quickly, because they take the human (and their associated salary) out of the loop. This lets firms offer a service to groups of people that it wasn't previously able to afford it. If you wanted to buy ads for a global, targeted audience before Google, you just couldn't do it. If you wanted to host software before AWS, you went to a colo or dedicated hosting provider and put in a lot more effort than their self-serve solution. If you wanted a side-hustle before the gig economy, it generally wasn't worth the search costs of trying to get an additional job.

If you have less than $10K in deposits (which is the majority of people these days), the bank is not your friend. They try to get you on little fees for everything, and pay you effectively zero interest, and occasionally go down for maintenance when it's exceptionally inconvenient for you (aside from many of their services only being available from 9:00-4:30). When the alternative is that, then the idea of a global, decentralized system that charges a flat fee per transaction and no fee to hold your wealth gets pretty attractive.
It’s another direct shot at Snapchat.

They’ve already tried the “close friends” feature with Instagram stories. Anecdotally, hardly anyone is using it.
Not often I get to invoke the 3rd Amendment. Get out of here, you Loyalist!
It was specifically "war on some drugs". Americans love drugs, and we even love dangerous or mind altering drugs. But some drugs, for various socioeconomic reasons, we have declared evil.
Yeah it could use a more accessible categorization for named exotic scales. The amount crammed in there is impressive but depending on what you're looking for, it's too much.
The only chance at security is if you can tap your network connection at the dumb wire layer, and verify that it's encrypted with your own private key.
Every android phone I've owned can install apks just by opening them in the file manager. Not all Android phones allow this, but many do.

On top of that many brands (asus, oneplus, even some Chinese brands) let you unlock the bootloader with official tools. Using this you can take full control.

So it's far from 'none'. I recently bought a zenfone 6 because it satisfies this criterion. Asus is even sending devices to alternative os developers to help them out. So we can choose to not support walled gardens, and it's not even hard. It's a question of getting people to value software freedom higher.
The first sentence in the article is this:

> “The operating system is no longer the most important layer for us,” was the message from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella yesterday.

But I can't tell if he actually said those exact words, or if that was the message that The Verge writers interpreted him as saying. If he didn't say those exact words, it's a bit dishonest for The Verge to lead with that sentence, in quotes, as if he's quoted as saying that.
I’m all about the single keyword and it being standard compliant.
Is there a straight-forward deauthorize / re-request ux loop to allow for changes to app scope over time?
There's a difference between living with your parents because it's more practical and living with your parents because it's all you can afford. It's fine to create a society that values taking care of parents as they age, but not okay to create one where parents are taken care of because their children have no other choice. I also have a hard time calling the parents of a 26-year-old "elderly." Young adults today don't hate their parents, they just want the same opportunities they had.
Not to mention that at as a comment gets downvoted it'll turn more and more desaturated and harder to read, literally silencing someone over a disagreement.
The title is too strong, while the message of the piece is more subtle: Microsoft no longer has the Windows-or-bust strategy. Their goal used to be to fight to be the computing platform. Windows is still important, but they're no longer insisting that it be the foundation of their strategy, which means they're no longer insisting that the world run Windows in all the things. They're conceding ground in one area, so they can flourish in others.

Fair enough, I can think of a few situations where a facsimile can cause moral problems, sex I've mentioned, pedophilia, dressing up as a nazi/kkk.

Obviously that feeling isnt as wide spread as I thought though.
You're not quite getting it.

You measure accuracy of detection via a training set of definitely known examples, and comparing it to the detections reported by your system.

You can say with certainty that their system catches 99% of your training data set, but that doesn't mean it Will generalize to "all permutations of child abuse ever".

That's two totally different things. In the end their use of that statistic illustrates an attempt to lie with statistics more than anything else.

What other DB does this better?

At work I constantly have to create temporary tables instead of CTEs in MS SQL server to avoid crashing the server completely.

I guess Oracle maybe but I've never used that db, or DB2.

But regardless of who does it better, this is very very welcome news for postgres in any case :)
> do we just bite the bullet and build a TON of housing all at once?

Yes, we absolutely should. I live in a tract house/neighborhood from the 40s in the East Bay, which is a cookie cutter house that was constructed en mass, and was cheap (For the time) and high quality. I believe the house was initially purchased for something like ~8k (~140k in 2019 money), but it is worth many more times than that solely because no more housing has been built en mass since the war.

We should of course move onto building multifamily homes, and away from the mess SFH suburbia created, but the principle remains the same: More housing availability pushes down prices for everyone.
I was surprised to find a Spectrum notice tacked onto an unrelated HTTP site this morning. It looks like Spectrum are editing customer traffic to inject a DMCA notice page that loads their own unsecured scripts.

Other ISPs like Comcast have done this in the past[1], but this is the first time I've seen anything like it from Spectrum, who normally keeps their hijacking limited to ad-riddled search pages for failed DNS lookups.

I use HTTPS Everywhere[2] and rarely visit sites delivered over HTTP, so I can't say if this is happening only on unsecured pages or everywhere.

Even with all the possible 're-education' camps, USA is still the country with more incarcerated. Even though they have much less population.
My understanding is that critical bugs pushed back the implementation deadline even for existing applications.
Banning single family zoning would eventually cause single family homes to disappear. Without legal limits, the market will always converge on what’s most profitable to developers, which is currently “stuffing as many units as legal/possible into the space.”
The article never makes the argument you're objecting to. It merely states that E2E is likely to allow certain crimes to avoid detection. That seems both plausible as well as empirically correct considering their whatsapp/messenger comparison.
Interestingly enough, no Muslim country is officially criticizing China, they're all on the officially supporting side.
Watch out for the 50 cent trolls!
I agree there is some nuance, but a lot of the reason why people move in and build in that poorer area is that they've been zoned out of the wealthier area where it's impossible to build any new housing at all.

Look at Palo Alto and East Palo Alto.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Palo_Alto,_California

So... yeah, build a ton of housing, but start doing it a lot more in the rich areas that have been exempt from it for far too long.
you're absolutely correct. my apologies.

It wasn't my intention to accuse them of lying. I guess I genuinely don't understand what their point is.

All I (unsuccessfully) tried to point out is that the two scenarios are different.
Because Americans would not make that trade, and that makes the government worker's job harder. So they spin it in a way that is more palatable so they can erode barriers to their job.

They (government workers at the agency) have no real incentives to fight for privacy other than having to live with eroded privacy, which most people just don't think about as giving something up until it affects them anyways.
Off topic, but what companies, besides Redhat or Google, will pay you to work on Linux. I imagine that would be an enjoyable job.
Noise insulation isn't a type of material, it's a construction method. Hanging drywall on resilient channel, staggering 2x4 studs on 2x6 bottom and top plates and weaving insulation between them, solid doors, and dual/triple pane windows are all examples of this.

The international response to this has been bizarre, and several majority Muslim countries consider this an 'achievement':

"In July 2019, 22 countries including U.K., Germany, France, Spain, Canada, Japan and Australia signed a joint letter to the UN Human Rights Council urging China to close the camps in Xinjiang.[27][110] In reaction to this, 37 countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Sudan, Angola, Algeria, Nigeria, DRC, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, Philippines, Myanmar, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Palestine have signed a joint letter to the UNHRC praising China's "remarkable achievements in Xinjiang."[0]

You are unable to tell whether any service uses E2E. It is best to assume we don't have E2E services and adjust own opsec accordingly.

Desirability of housing in particular cities changes over time.

Argentinian prices are taking a serious beating due to the crisis. I'm myself looking to get an apartment there (but the prices of apartments haven't tanked enough yet, in my opinion) or at least some more of Argentinian REITs ($IRS, $IRCP).

Transhumanism: Where Physical and Digital Worlds Meld
the limit is typically measured in families, and within those families we’re usually not talking a dozen children each. a sperm bank that limits to 10 families per donor will probably end up in the ballpark of 10-20 children. (10 families is a very conservative limit - most banks go higher.) there can be a mad scramble to buy “sibling” vials from an otherwise retired donor if a family decides that they are done with extra vials.

ivf nowadays is also very much more strict about what you transfer. i did ivf a few months ago and we only transferred one PGS tested, day 5 embryo because a second one was not going to do anything good for me or the pregnancy odds.

2-3 decades ago both the tech and the feelings around donor identities and limits were very different. but nowadays we’re moving towards smaller limits and open identity of some sort, while fewer donor gametes are necessary for people to get pregnant. it’s curious.
Wonder if that would be because computers are not that important any more because they are no longer "personal computers" personal computers are now phones. desktops/laptops ... previous generation of compute devices live on primarily as a means to connect to other companies computers that are typically running other OSs which also does not matter.

Much as I may prefer a compute environment where OS choice was meaningful we are a tiny minority and will have to adapt
to a world with less choice because it makes no sense to put effort into something that does not matter.
>This is such a lazy argument

I mean, I agree with you on the argument completely, but I disagree that it’s a lazy argument.

It’s an extremely effective argument, relative to its factual content. The west is culturally conditioned to accept terrorism as justification and child abuse justifiably gets people riled up.

What’s lazy is people who can’t be arsed to look at complex things from multiple angles.
