I grew up in the Bible Belt in post 9/11 America. Being first generation, I was given the culture of India from my family while also playing baseball and having Windows '95 when I was 5. Also, I was introduced to the Gospel of Jesus when a youth pastor decided to give me his Bible as a gift because he sensed my hunger for wisdom, which I still have 12 years later. My grandma told me Christ and Krishna had the same gospel but for different people of different temperaments, all rivers lead to the Ocean. I have never explored Islam but can understand what a Muslim feels because I've been bullied for being brown and 'looking like a terrorist'. I've felt very lonely at times being an outcast amongst my culture and in America for being a dropout, for not getting married at 25, for choosing experiences over things, for not resenting or worshipping success. Having the Dharma and the Gospel as a guide has helped me stay aligned with what really matters in life: service to others and savoring life in the moment. Without them, I would be lost in the rat race chasing after desires that would never satisfy me fully.

tl;dr - All rivers lead to the Ocean, take whatever raft works for you but see it through to the end and know all the others who preach love and truth as the highest virtues as equally valid.

There's truth to this. I tend to roll my eyes when people say: "I can't believe they won't take responsibility".

It appeals to our personal morals, but not the world we live in. Nobody's willing to fall on their sword.
yeah, they do :(

They are always unswitched, with the exception of some houses where a wall switch controls a receptacle on the other side of the room (for lamps).

There's no room for a switch on the receptacle, and North America has used the same plug arrangement since the 1910s (a ground prong was added later, but an ungrounded lamp from 1915 is still compatible with modern receptacles). Changing it now is not likely to happen. It is possible to buy a combination unit with a receptacle and a switch on a single yolk and wire it up so that the switch controls the receptacle, but I've never seen it done.
The hardest part is the actual phone bits: calls and texts. I get that through my service (Google Fi), but that's not a common feature.

The rest of the features are nice, but not necessary, and I could absolutely just use my laptop instead, provided I had access to WiFi consistently.
yes, but fentanyl is usually unwanted and is much more dangerous than the others (due to wildly varying potencies). Some shelters have been handing out fentanyl test strips - fentanyl contamination has dramatically increased the number of fatalities among opioid users
Subject matter expertise and teaching experience up to six years make teachers better, as measured by students’ results. That’s better than nothing. There are lots of things we reward teachers for that have no discernible effects, like education degrees but if you go from a system where many of the Math teachers have humanities degrees to one where they all have Physics/Math/Statistics degrees results will improve. Ditto if you go from everyone having a Bachelor’s in Math to everyone having a Master’s. Teachers are far from completely useless, even if selection effects are far stronger than treatment effects.
... that's not what's happening in your link?
The best math teacher I ever had throughout all my schooling structured lessons that way. There'd be an introduction to a new topic, with problems we'd get a chance to work through alone then aftwards we'd all go through them together. That was pretty much the extent of the lecture part. Then we'd get an exercise to work on for the last half of the class that covered what we learned. The teacher was always extremely patient and would help everyone who needed it. Sometimes explaining the same thing over and over to different people without ever becoming frustrated. There was optional(but highly encouraged) homework if we wanted more practice. The teacher would be available for an additional tutoring session to work on the optional homework if people wanted it. We weren't graded on it. All our marks came from exams.

That class was really the first time a lot of concepts actually started to make sense for me and I went from being a pretty below average math student to having some of the highest marks in the class.

The position is self-defeating. How can you hold it and at the same time advocate against their choice to use a system that doesn't have the ability to install apps from untrustworthy sources? The availability of such systems is obviously an increase in available choice, not a decrease.

For people who can use an EV, and for people who are willing to accept that a single vehicle can't do everything.

Most people don't want to keep multiple vehicles to cover all their bases. Just look at the number of pickup trucks sold in the US. How many of those people are hauling stuff or using it for work? While there are landscapers, tradesmen and laborers who do that, the vast majority of them are essentially commuter cars. People often get them, among other reasons, because they might come in handy if they need to move stuff. These are the same people who will never accept an EV because it doesn't have the overall utility of their other vehicle.
Thanks for the rant. I saw that video back then and immediately suspected that it was a "so clever it's stupid" design.

I hate it when companies do that stuff and get away with it, or even praised for it.

Have a look at OnioNS (Onion Name System). It's a method for allowing users to claim unique names while limiting the effects of squatting, as it takes continuous computational power to retain a name.

This probably isn't going to help with your web app, but it's an interesting part of the theory to understand.

syzbot is already fuzzing the latest two stable kernels and has found hundreds of bugs, including lots of use-after-frees. All these bugs are listed here:

- https://syzkaller.appspot.com/linux-4.14
- https://syzkaller.appspot.com/linux-4.19

As far as I know, no one is doing anything with the syzbot bugs against stable kernels directly, since no company using Linux is paying anyone to do it as their job. But some are getting fixed; e.g., some get reported against mainline too, then fixed and backported.
> Why the hell are pronouns a centerpiece of a CoC?

Because aggressive misgendering including by refusal to use the subject’s preferred pronouns is currently a significant form of harassment which is actively promoted by certain groups.

> Just be nice to people.

The fact that people aggressively refuse to do that is exactly what pronoun policies are responding to.
I remember seeing a lecture by Aaronson where he described the idea of a “relativity computer” where you set a computer running on some exponential task, but then hop in a spaceship and fly off at nearly the speed of light, and come back to find the answer in an amount of time only polynomial for you.

He “debunked” this by mentioning to do it you’d potentially need an exponentially large supply of fuel to accelerate yourself to a speed exponentially close to the speed of light as the problem to solve grows more complex.

I wonder if something similar could be true about quantum computing. Maybe it is theoretically possible to solve problems polynomially that can only be solved exponentially in a classical computer. But maybe it requires “exponentially more” of some resource, like a power supply to power the physical devices needed to do an amount of error correction to make it physically realizable as the problem size grows.

Would it be possible for the Church-Turing thesis to be false mathematically, but for the amount of quantum error correction to require an amount of physical resources that grow prohibitively and prevent it from being practically possible (like the fuel limitation prevents the otherwise physically possible relativity computer)?

Same. I have AT&T gig fiber after switching from Comcast. 3 Years in, no complaints. My 2yr old son ripped the fiber line out of the house, and they came the next day and fixed it in like an hour, no charge. Been very satisfied with AT&T.
It's hard to break in with no experience. I'm not sure everyone can filter out companies based on mentorship.
> The truth is that people aren’t good, and a lot of them would love to put people in gas chambers and all it takes is the people in power allowing them to do it.

Is this a fact, or a theory?

If it's a fact, are you able to convince a very open minded person like me of it?

In addition to learning the theory, anyone that wants to trade options beyond the just messing around level should really learn and use whatever their broker's desktop trading platform is. All the ones I've looked at provide far more information (the greeks, IV, and lots of other stuff) than the same brokers' web interfaces. Also as a bonus the data update is much closer to real time and not every minute or so.
North American plugs also only go in one way, unless they are unpolarised, and pretty much all modern appliances have polarised plugs. The only stuff that doesn't are stuff like cell phone chargers, which is actually great, because sometimes it's more convenient to have it pointing the other way.
They're even using the platform to vent their frustration. A few might delete their accounts, most will put their pitchforks away after a while and come crawling back.

I think there's some confusion in this thread: yes, all programmers should develop their ability to solve problems alone. But new programmers should definitely avoid accepting a position where they would be the only programmer, if at all possible. If you get such an offer and are worried it's the only offer you'll get, I think you should bank on that being wrong and stick it out and wait for an offer with an actual team.
I don't know much about this aircraft but this appears to be a winged aircraft which unlike quadcopters and helicopters,losing an engine or rotor does not translate to a crash(?) because it had n number of rotors on each side,if one is lost,you lose altitude maybe and turn off matching rotors on the other side,which naively appears safer than a helicopter.

The failures of the Linux core team to properly prioritize security is quite well known. A lot of people have poked the bear by trying to bring this up, also with specific real examples, and got a tongue lashing from the team and moved on to other things.

I'm amazed the GRSecurity people have managed to do it for so long. Even if merging their stuff mainline legitimately wasn't practical, I've seen plenty of snark and dismissiveness from the Linux team towards them and others. And GRSEC does actively bring in CVEs into their kernel patches all the time and get paid via sponsors to do so.

I'm sure going through old CVEs is a great way to find "zero days" and/or relapses after old patches. Or even just following the work GRSec does there's probably plenty of stuff for a highly motivated company like NSO to exploit.
The vintage toaster you want, no bagels, is a Toastmaster 1B16. my parents have my grandfather's toaster of this model and I have one from ebay. Perfect toast each time. Sunbeam made a similar one though it had less adjustment as seen in the video but I think it was inferior to the Toastmaster; I have both and both still work

Please note, whomever is using the name now is certainly not making a toaster of the same quality.

they weigh a good amount but that tends to be the case of anything from the forties and fifties.

By analogy, you might as well be asking if I've ever seen Rolexes get cheaper. Why are you talking about Rolexes and not watches?
it's fairly well known that small kmallocs do not fail, and that there are many, many instances in the filesystem code which assume that small kmallocs do not fail. there have been two LWN articles on this exact subject.
Are your first and third scenarios mutually exclusive?
Why do you ask? OP's question isn't asking about things that should be regulated, just asking which ones aren't. We should have a similar discussion about things that are regulated that shouldn't be.
I fired my therapist for asking that too often. Not really. But that is uncomfortably close to the truth.
Could be, I hope so. I really want to ride in one if they are indeed safe. With all of those motors and props in the air, that's a whole bunch of parasitic drag if it is able to glide.
I will not counterargue your main point because this is indeed a matter of debate from a 'technical' standpoint.

However, in broader economic terms, I think the idea that AI may 'accelerate' the world in general is largely indirect: for instance, by saving time and money in other areas of life (because better tools, cheaper means, infra, etc), people become more able to perform their job. There are obviously diminishing returns to such optimization, as to any natural/economic process.

Apple actually has made new iPhone 11 $50 cheaper than the phone it replaced.

Furthermore smartphones in general _have_ been getting cheaper. It's only top of the line flagships that are getting more expensive while also being much more powerful and with better (AKA more expensive) tech inside them.
You are lucky if you get to bounce ideas off of someone. The relationship you describe doesn't exist between peers and reminds me of a teacher student relationship.
That's correcting the previous commenter, which used "he". That's not objection to gender-neutral language.
The cheap car isn't the same cheap car though. Try finding a 2-door sedan with manual controls and an AM/FM radio. Even the cheapest new car has bluetooth entertainment controls and backup cameras. It also has airbags in every zone and a decent crash rating.

Nobody produces the cheap base-model car of yore, if they did they could easily do so for well under 10k. But that doesn't support the bottom line especially when you have to cut in the dealership.
My Sociology teacher in high school did a much tamer version of this experiment when we were reading Lord of the Flies. As we read it chapter by chapter, he kept asking, "Does anyone believe in the Beast?" One kid finally said yes and he got all giddy, gave the kid a special seat by the front of the class and gave him a stuffed animal "beast" to hold.

As we read further and further he kept asking classmates? "Do you believe in the Beast?" He would give small things to the growing group, leave class 5 minutes early, some candy maybe, little things. But one by one the whole class joined the group, just as the true meaning of the Beast became apparent. Such an interesting lesson!
When I was a kid, there were about 3.5 billion people on earth. I've watched that double. Growth of 3.5 billion people. You shug off another 4 to 5 billion like it's no big deal. Maybe you're just happy to hear a prediction if leveling off, and the number is meaningless. Let me tell you, 3 to 4 billion is a LOT of people. I remember when it was ALL the people, and what it looks like to have that many more. Dont kids yourself, it's a LOT of people. The notion that the entire world will modernize and have a reduced birthrate is also an assumption. I hope we can handle it.
This is supposed to justify putting millions of more people at an even larger risk of getting hacked?
Should they? Maybe it is not that pretty but it is functional. Many modern sites on the other hand show big nothing picture that one has to scroll down and hunt for info. And I love that light grey text on white background which is nigh to impossible to read for many not so young eyes.

And since they have pretty specific product I am pretty sure that their customers do not give a flying hoot about how the site looks. They need specific functionality from the product
This is incorrect. The inflation adjusted price of the first smart phone is ~$600. I can get a vastly more capable device shipped to my house for $129 unlocked for any carrier.
The most barebones available car has steadily dropped in price relative to average income while becoming drastically safer, more reliable, and lasting longer.
> Apps are required to be notarized. You can turn the requirement off, but that doesn't negate its existence.

I don't understand what you're saying here. Users can run apps that aren't notarized. Therefore, developers are not required to notarize their apps.

If you want users who refuse to run non-notarized apps to be able to run your app, you'll have to notarize your app...
Excellence at what they are instructed to do. The heart and soul part seems bang on to me, they just happen to have rather imperfect leadership, I would say due to how radical change/ideas are discouraged in their culture.
Mass Extinction and the Structure of the Milky Way
Very comprehensive history of the "breaking" of minesweeper records.

A similar crisis of faith seems to repeat itself across many games. The main table game decades ago was 'carom billiards.' No pockets, the target was hitting a target ball indirectly, bouncing off a rail or another ball first. You try to make such shots as many times in a row as possible.

One great player realized you could nudge all the balls against the wall and repeatedly gently tap the line of balls to score a near endless series of points. The technique was called nursing, and it basically destroyed that game.

There's an amazing skill in pushing the terms of a game to its limits, there's a genius to it. Sadly that's not the skill people are trying to measure at the time, so it makes everyone angry at their records.

There should be a separate list of record holders for people who excel at that, people who have broken games.
That's because you already knew haskell and knew what you were missing out on. Elm having a less expressive type system makes it a much better introduction to concepts like ADTs and pattern matching, higher order functions, and enforced immutability, because there's less to trip you up.

If they honestly don’t know the persons gender then it isn’t clear to me why they would choose a pronoun to begin with. If I don’t know someone’s name I don’t just start calling them Bill, I ask them their name and when they say “Hi I’m William but I prefer Bill” and move on with my life knowing to refer to this person as Bill, not William.

If it was a genuine accident I personally see no problem with it and from my personal anecdotal experience the only place I’ve seen anyone get upset over an accidental misgendering or accidental dead naming was on outrage pieces done by outragePorn news sites just looking for ways to clickbait vulnerable anger-prone clickers.

If someone intentionally misgenders another I personally just assume the misgenderer is an asshole, just as I would if someone intentionally and repeatedly calls someone by the wrong name.
Yes, that's a textbook Daming's phrase, that quality is about variance, to the hell with specifications, and you must be able and willing to measure it yourself, because it should be on every step.

I don't remember exactly his biography, but I remember he was mildly respected at the US, and that's why Japan called him. There he made his name, so when he returned, he was the most respected thinker of his area.

It isn't just happening in the US, manufacturing of cars is going to be hard hit in other countries. EU manufacturers aren't exactly tripping over themselves to go EV, VW claims it is but looking at its schedule and its still damn slow.

they have to answer to their unions who have board seats and the know that EVs will gut jobs. it will clobber more that just the manufacture of the cars and those jobs but also all the the third party parts suppliers will take a huge hit as the majority of their stocked parts are related to petrol engines and transmissions which have quite a few wear parts.
