I now understand how to differentiate between the two but how would anyone in the right mind think that the average person would realize that "Paid for by" implies it's political. At least when they say it in TV ads, it's very clearly a political ad based on the abundance of context clues.
Patreon is actually a way to lessen reliance on ads.

You could have just used an ad blocker and then spread the $120/yr you're giving to YouTube amongst channels you enjoy, and you'd be helping the people making the videos a lot more, while experiencing no less convenience.
> The credit is essentially in escrow until a decision gets made, but it definitely hasn't impacted my bank balance in any way.

That's perfect, but I guess our mileage may vary. I was charged the amount and VISA later credited it when everything was resolved (about 3 months start to finish). I didn't miss the $1300, but I'm sure it would be a concern to some.

41,000 deaths in Dachau.[1]

15 deaths in ICE detention centers.[2] If you add 2017 it would be about 25.[3]

I am not a GH employee nor do I speak for them.

But I think a fair point of view is that it would be GREAT if the employees of Xerox and Canon and Lenovo and Apple and Ford and the airlines and even the farmers all took the same stance as GH employees.

If that actually happened, ICE would cease to be able to function incredibly quickly.

Which would be good. This is basically the point of these protests.

Hi, almost all the comments are missing the reason why copyright was infringed. To be fair, the Wikipedia article does not make that clear, and the rhetoric on both sides of the lawsuit tries to frame it as an issue of editing content and preserving the artist's wishes, which is not.

From a source article for the Wikipedia article (https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=4026743&itype=NGPS...)

> CleanFlicks is a distributor that produces copies of Hollywood blockbusters on DVD by burning a scrubbed version onto a blank disc.

They made copies of substantial portions of film without changing their essential creative expression. Today we'd recognize it as clear-cut copyright infringement.

On the other hand, as much as creatives and their publishers dislike it, the law is friendly toward those trying to subvert a work's creative expression; e.g. parody, remixes, etc. are protected by fair use.

If, for example, CleanFlicks restricted its operations to selectively scrubbing bought VHS tapes (without making copies), there wouldn't be a case.

I don't know why it gets peddled around that it's easy to find jobs in CS. It seems as hard as finding a break in hollywood.
From an early age, my dad told my brothers and me, ALL the time that we should never hit a girl or woman. Ever. He drilled into us that there is never a reason to do this.

Fast forward to high school and college, and I freeze when a woman gets physically aggressive and starts to seem violent. A part of my brain expects to fight back, but years of inculcation of the mantra, "never hit a woman" stopped me from responding (and it's not quite in my nature to run). So I just tried to shrug it off while such things happened.

But, yeah, people should not hit people, unless in self defense, etc. Definitely if someone is attacking you it should not matter their sex when defending yourself. Ideally, anyway.
I killed a project a few years ago that had spent about $8M on some project to implement a pretty straightforward business process. No end was in sight. The catalyst was Access 2003 going end of life, and this little app doesn't work.

I don't know why one of a 3 BAs couldn't figure out WTF was happening and fixing it. We had an intern futz around with Access for a few weeks and it's been running fine to this day.

I get that the people doing this don't seem to care, just as the woman you describe doesn't seem to hold the 4th in high regard.

I'm not assuming politicians are in control of these datasets. I'm assuming the politicians and the judges they elect are control of the laws and rules that govern the government agencies and employees. And the politicians are elected by Americans.

You point out that many Americans don't feel they have anything to hide, so the 4th doesn't seem to matter to them. I've noticed that too. And so what I see in government and the agencies is a reflection of the these priorities (e.g. Patriot Act, no pushback against NSA, etc). I don't think Americans can absolve themselves of responsibility of the surveillance state. That'd be too convenient.

The 13th amendment abolished slavery for everyone except prisoners. The fact that migrants are being treated like prison labor is evidence that they are performing slave labor.
And both sides have been claiming it has been a problem for all of those years. Every president since Regan has talked about the problems at the border and Congress has done barely anything to both enforce the laws, and make the system smoother for immigrants.
It was highly controversial, but it's a choice. Obama chose to have some people not show up for their court date. Trump chose to keep people in inhumane conditions and separate children from their families.

htop is an excellent tool. I appreciate his valiant effort to explain what load average is; it's confused Unix users forever. His explanation is more or less right but I think misses a bit of context about the old days of Unix performance.

It used to be in the early 90s that Unix systems were quite frequently I/O bound; disks were slow and typically bottlenecked through one bus and lots of processes wanted disk access all the time. Swapping was also way more common. Load average is more or less a quick count of all processes that are either waiting on CPU or waiting on I/O. Either was likely in an old Unix system, so adding them all up was sensible.

In modern systems your workload is probably very specifically disk bound, or CPU bound, or network bound. It's much better to actually look at all three kinds of load separately. htop is a great tool for doing that! but the summary load average number is not so useful anymore.

Yeah either the calculator is wrong or I don’t know what I’m talking about. Gravity at the surface of the black hole or the event horizon may well be 1G but all world lines point towards the singularity. I think what is missing is a sufficiently large black hole would have a really low average density at the event horizon thus you wouldn’t get speghettified instantly due to the huge discrepancy of gravity on different parts of your body.

Came to add my two cents and found this. Ditto to what you said.
> I can't seem to find a list of cultures that can't map down to "first name, last name".

It's the meaning of them that's mainly the problem. In western cultures, the first name is your given name and the last name is your family name. In eastern cultures the first name is your family name and the last name is your personal name.

So without more information, you don't know whether to call them "Mr [first name]" or "Mr [last name]". If you don't know what to call them after they've filled in the name fields in your form, that's a pretty fundamental failure.

> I can still see many cases for needing to have a legal name.

Sure, but first name / last name is not a good way to do it.

Counterpoint: cynicism is too easy. Actually giving a shit is harder, it's uncomfortable, it involves compromise.

Yes, there's ambiguity.

Yes, the line the law draws is very loose. Github can't legally let someone from Iran or North Korea host repos, but just about anything else is legal. If Golden Dawn (the greek fascist party) wanted to use your product, nothing legally prevents you from having them as a customer.

This is no excuse to avoid the question.

Every person has to decide for themselves the boundaries of who they're willing to work for. If you work for a company, you have a voice in that company's decisions. I think many tech workers underestimate how much power they have. Good engineers are in tremendous demand.

The cross-section for capturing on the Sun is much larger. The Sun is there, and it is old. There are many Suns, and they are old. I'm unaware of the observed sudden disappearance of a known star.

Ergo, the number of planet-destroying black holes running around is likely to be small.

The much bigger risk is having Earth's orbit disrupted slightly by a passing solar-mass scale black hole. We wouldn't get much warning that such a thing was coming, but it could alter our orbit enough to get us into thermal trouble.
We have another holocaust going on right now and none of the major world powers cares enough to do anything about it.
I'm ... no longer sure what your point is, but just one reply to note that you can't put responsibility for slaves on plantations onto "poor whites" who "were easily pitted against blacks". They were rich people who enslaved others just because they thought they were superior and could get away with it. No economic solution was going to solve that.

I've been dealing with a hormonal issue that's been negatively impacting my deep sleep for almost two years.

There was a week in early February this year, right after surgery, where I felt like a million bucks. Normally, I have a pretty low-grade chronic headache (yeah, it's as horrible as it sounds). However, that week, my head felt "clear". I don't know how else to explain it other than I felt like my brain had been washed. I was going to bed at 9-9:30pm, and waking up at 5am, and felt incredible. I reverted not long afterwards, and believe I recently figured out the root of the issue (fingers crossed!), but I 100% believe that you need deep sleep to function well. IMO, it's not sufficient to get light and REM sleep; deep sleep is when true brain recovery occurs. I feel like I should know; before I started treatment, I would go to bed at 9-9:30pm and sleep until 8 and still feel exhausted. You need quality sleep in addition to quantity.

Wrist-based sleep trackers are basically useless, FWIW. I've been using one pretty consistently since before my health issues started and they really can't discern the difference between light/REM/deep sleep phases. If there's anything which mirrors how I feel after waking up in the morning, it's HR dip, but even that isn't 100% reliable.
Yep, when I was in Iraq there was another base that was found to be throwing all kinds of things in the burn pit that weren't supposed to be in it. Stuff like old mattresses and amputed limbs were being thrown in an open air burn pit, and apparently the pit wasn't very far from sleeping quarters. After that was exposed, they started marking off "Exposed to burning waste" on everyone's medical records, even if they couldn't be sure you had been.

You are absolutely right.

After those 11 years in molecular biology, I am absolutely convinced that the bottleneck of the field is not some fancy method, but a total lack of automation.

Modern "CRISPR" cool methods are done with essentially the same tools as the research from 50 years ago.

I would claim, that computer scientists are lucky ones: they have skills to create their own tools. To make a better, more automated programming language, you would need same skills as to use that language.

Biologists on the other hands are different. The skills to do biology are totally different from skills needed to automate biology. And so the gap appears: biologists don't even think of automating, and mechanical/electrical/computer engineers are not even aware of the problem
[1] argues that ASD lacks validity – in other words, "ASD" is not something which actually exists in nature, it is simply a largely arbitrary grouping of symptoms, and those symptoms have a diverse array of unrelated causes. Given this, [1] argues that the use of the ASD diagnosis as a basis for research should be abandoned. Instead, researchers should look for the causes and associations of each individual symptom included in the ASD diagnostic criteria, irrespective of whether the individuals having that symptom have been diagnosed with ASD or not, and irrespective of whether they meet the overall diagnostic criteria for ASD or not. If [1] is right that the validity of ASD is dubious, then any research based on the diagnosis of ASD is also dubious, this study included.

They absolutely can; political affiliation is not a protected class. Probably not good for their bottom line, though.
It may already be controlled for, but if not, the increased Acetaminophen intake could be from narcotic painkillers, which are often combined with Acetaminophen in prescription preparations to help prevent abuse. The same people seeking and using those around birth may later seek to get an ADHD diagnosis for a child for access to amphetamines, as narcotics use and amphetamine use are highly correlated together.
You are looking at something that weighs less than mount Everest and thinking that's an unrealistic amount of mass to control.

In actual fact, moving mount Everest To The Moon is trivial in comparison with the task of creating a black hole. It's a feat only accessible to Kardashev type 2, at the very least 1.5, civilisations. We are talking about civilisations that can move small planets at will.

The most credible approach is to build giant gamma-ray lasers, and focus so much energy into a spot to small, that the weight of light itself will collapse the spot into a tiny black hole made of pure energy, Kugelblitz.

Once you would have a black hole formed that way, you could continue force-feeding it with lasers or particle beams to weigh whatever amount you desire. It would be a very energy-inefficient process.

At some point the black hole reaches a mass where it's Eddington limit allows it to feed by 'normal' means faster than it evaporates by hawking radiation. At that point it could server to convert matter to energy.

>It'd be fun to throw together a modern CISC-V or something that does a better job than x86 from an instruction encoding efficiency perspective, and see how it stacks up against modern RISCs.

It'd probably be about the same since the combination of microcode and macroop fusion makes RISC and CISC essentially the same thing internally. You're basically just trading complexity of the instruction decoder for code density.
> But people you utterly hate have friends too, and they see something different than you do, and we do not have a singular moral world-view.

That's not how language works. People can't just redefine things to suit their political needs (even if something terrible has happened to them in the past).

It's 100% expected that people who break the law will be imprisoned if caught. A prison is not a "concentration camp", a detention center for illegal aliens is not a "concentration camp". People end up in those places because they broke the law, not because people rounded them up out of their homes and shipped them there.
