This. The Final Solution and the extermination camps only happened in 1942, after every major player already entered the war. Eugenics was reasonably popular at the time, so that wasn't a reason to go to war either, and while the concentration camps were immoral and at the start of the war they were comparatively humane and not much out of line with what was deemed acceptable at the time (US internment of Japanese, Russian labor camps and the current ICE camps come to mind). The conditions drastically worsened as the camps filled up, but by that time Europe was already at war.

What Hitler did was terrible, but that's not the reason we had a war. "Germany (or Japan) might invade us next" is what was really in everyone's mind.
Reversing very heavily obfuscated Javascript is doable. If you want to fully reverse a 1000 line obfuscated file you're probably looking at a day or two of work, depending on how in depth you want to go.
This is a fantastic, free resource. Excellent intro for those unfamiliar with basic HTML or Python, plus a quick and easy route to building something that works.

It helps that the entire thing is really well written. I'm surprised this is free!
I don't get why binaries should be more bandwidth-intensive than JS.

I guess in a sense you already have the JS engine installed with, say, Chrome, which is essentially a runtime.

Why can't other runtimes come prepackaged? What am I missing here?

In their write-up about Internet vanlife, they mention that they use Google Maps location sharing, which does work. If anyone needs an open source, non-google solution for sharing and tracking your location with others, OwnTracks works great. It needs a server set up somewhere with a web server, app, database and MQTT, but it works well. I love it for tracking my travels.

The problem is you have two types of people, you have the guy that sees his kid get blown up and is like F'it I am going to detonate myself. I get it, I could be that guy under the right circumstances. The problem is the world is just as full of people ready and willing to exploit that guy and that is what happens. The situation is a lot more complicated than the American imperialist kills babies meme. The problem is though when you go after the other guys, who need going after, some good people get killed and it creates a newly exploitable class based on that anger and resentment.

The guy who just wants to be left alone is constantly pushed into a corner by the guy that wants to control and manipulate people and those are the two types of people in the world. The American revolution was filled with guys that just wanted to be left alone. Congress is now filled with guys that want to control and manipulate. They are naturally attracted to power. It will take them pushing the US citizen who wants to be left alone (AKA the silent majority) into the corner before anything changes.

If Google wants to go off and make Google Web a thing, where it only allows Chrome to view content hosted by some variation of *.google.com, thats their choice, but that isn't "the web".
Not sure about that. People whose heart and lungs have stopped may survive longer if they're cold. At least that's what I heard relating to a case of a boy who was revived after spending a long time under the ice of a frozen lake/river.

Keep in mind that $25k for the van is for a home and transport. Where else can you get a home/transportation combo for that price?

It's a slang term.

Others have mentioned some meanings, but you could also say something like 'yeah, she's sorted' (meaning, she's a good friend).

Or generically something like "That's sorted, that is", meaning good.

Well sorted, innit m8.
I've spent some time in Vienna and gotten a general vibe that the past lives on in this city in a way that's particular and charming and unaffected. This includes the cool-but-nerdy computer-geek of the mid 90s, running a bunch of servers out of a closet at home, participating in some sort of pirate-radio setup, maintaining a huge quasi-legal library of all sorts of media and sharing it with the in-the-know kids. I hope this can hold the "cloud all the things" people back.
> how come we (think we) have free will?'

That’s easier than you think: what those who use that term for discussions understand that term to mean is mostly based on work made by religious apologists through the centuries. So the answer to “how come” is “to somehow excuse the concept of having all-mighty all-knowing god while people still do whatever.” Thus so constructed “free will” is the limit over which that all mighty can’t cross. That’s why it’s so emotionally defended.

If that hometown retailer put a bunch of MoreFire Fraudbatteries in the box with genuine Duracells and labeled them as genuine Duracells and then they burned my house down, yes I absolutely would be so eager.

Providing a platform that is engineered to confuse, conceal, and mix counterfeit and dangerous products in with genuine and legitimately-tested ones, and then insulate the "real seller" from even being found much less held liable, I feel should make Amazon culpable in a very large way. It's not like they don't know their platform is being used this way.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice, and I hope the law finds them malicious.
I find these articles (and videos on Youtube) fascinating!

> “with all these amenities, you’re trying to replicate an RV; that’s not what’s Vanlife is about. You’re not gonna like it.“

For some, that's the point. A lot of people who do this park in places where an RV attracts unwanted attention. Some people like being able to park somewhere and no one has any clue that someone's living inside.

In my case, my HOA prevents RVs. These kind of articles are fascinating, because I can park a van in my driveway. Maybe some day I'll convert a van into a "stealth" RV so I don't violate my HOA!

There was a royal procession to City Hall in Sarajevo, during which a grenade was thrown at the Archduke. It (barely) missed, they drove off, and had a meeting with some local magistrate.

After the meeting, Franz wanted to travel to the hospital to visit the civilians who'd been wounded by the errant grenade. En route, his driver, confused, took the same route from the morning procession. When they realized what was happening, they told him to turn around and get the out if there. When the driver stopped to turn around, they were ~1 block from the site of the first assassination attempt. One if the co-conspirators (who had lost his nerve the first time, and had been milling around and hoping that Franz would come back by), was standing where the car came to a stop. Two shots killed Fran's Ferdinand and his wife.

Fun fact about this--Franz Ferdinand's death was not the cause of the Great War in the way that people tend to think it was. The assassination caused the war in the sense that it was a convenient excuse for a war that the Austro-Hungarians already wanted, but not because (Austro-Hungarian Emperor) Franz Joseph wanted revenge or anything like that. In fact, Franz Joseph's secretary later said that he "almost seemed grateful" that Ferdinand (whose marriage was so problematic that he had been forced to proactively abdicate on behalf of his children) was out of the way.

It's phrased in a funny way, but this: ""two numbers that multiply to C and sum to B must have an average of B/2, so they must be B/2 + z and B/2 - z" is pretty obvious.

If x+y=B then the average(x+y) = (x+y)/2 = B/2

B/2 is then the number in between x and y so you can represent x and y as B/2 + z and B/2 - z (where z is just half the distance between x and y, or |x-y|/2)
Thank you, and I somewhat agree with those qualifications. The main point is that the Southern culture tried to embody and enshrine something akin to yeoman’s mindset and rights (if glorified given the limitations in reality) and the Northeast, while descended from founders who admired some of those principles, differed culturally enough to mostly abandon it.

Let's get the criticisms of the article out of the way:

--It has terrible formatting and typos.

--It puffs up something more important than it is.

--It is more about pedagogy than a mathematical idea.

--It suggests the idea is original, when it almost certainly is not.

--It doesn't link to the original (and better source).

Okay, here is the good things about the approach:

--It is good to shift your thinking about mathematical derivations and proofs and think about them as code that runs on people's brains. You input a derivation into someone's brain and they return a boolean value (this is true, it makes sense, etc.). Pedagogy is trying to optimize the code for less powerful architectures. Just like when you are optimizing code tiny little details of instruction orders matter, the same with mathematical derivations.

--Fundamentally, algebraic manipulations are uncomfortable and nonintuitive for students. They feel like tricks. Going forwards from (x+a)^2=x^2+2ax+a^2 makes sense but going backwards as in the case of completing the square is hard. It's not the same case for x^2=a vs sqrt(x)=a. This is kind of a similar case to math students feeling confused by adding and subtracting the same quantity when doing calculus limits. For any trained mathematician, this is obvious, but it really feels like a trick at first. The nice thing about this approach is that it avoids this issue and gives you a good reason WHY the -b/2 term shows up. Additionally, it avoids the problem of substituting, which tends to bog students down (try teaching the chain rule someday).

Students should still understand completing the square but I don't think this is a bad way to introduce them to the quadratic formula. It highlights the symmetric of the roots (at least for real values), which makes sense if you plot a quadratic.
Still holding out hope. I'll have to look into the suggestions again then! Maybe I could figure out a way to migrate keychain
As long as we're providing website critiques:

* "Google want to automate us" should be "Google wants to automate us"

* They should consider making the page about why not to use chrome in particular more discoverable from the main page

* "Google have been accused of ensuring other Google products don’t work on Chrome" should be "Google have been accused of ensuring other Google products only work on Chrome"

* They block Google search from indexing the page, but they also block all other crawlers. Why not let DuckDuckBot through?
Ad blocking is not illegal.
Of course they could do something about it, they just don't want to because it would be economically painful. Unified trade sanctions against China would likely have effects pretty quickly, but would impact economies significantly more than the Trump-imposed tariffs that everyone is already freaking out over.
The word "health" occurs precisely once in this article, and only in the context of encouraging job mobility. Not health care for all to end the obscenity known as "medical debt". Not health care for all to enable early detection of preventable illnesses and thus improve quality of life for those who aren't wealthy. Not health care for all to stamp out communicable diseases before they get a foothold in tight-knit poor communities.

No, just some tax subsidies to allow for easier HR headhunting.

I was once a capitalist. Then I saw how it worked. Accounting graduate. Interned and offered a permanent job at a Big Four. Drank the koolaid. Then 2008 happened, and the scales fell from my eyes. Capitalism's "growth for the sake of growth" ideology is the ideology of a cancer cell.
A lot of places? There is a pretty significant portion of the country where you can get a downpayment on a house for $10k and pick up a nice enough used car for a couple thousand. There are more options then living in an expensive city, a mcmansion, and a van.
You mean how the Bay Area, which is fairly urban, has precious few urgent care clinics open until 10 pm and, I believe, literally none open after 10pm? I went to one of these urgent care clinics once and got charged $650 for about 5 minutes of doctor time and a single DermaBond stick. The latter costs something like $20.

Oh yeah, I asked how much I would be charged before the doc saw me and they refused to answer.

Cities have some of the most expensive internet rates. The US has some of the most expensive internet in the entire world. Your distance argument only makes sense if you take away the billions given to ISPs to lay black fiber. Cities would be super cheap internet. That's not what happened. ISPs charge exorbitant fees for a service they barely keep up to date. Remote settlements are often what allows those cities to exist and who are you to tell people where and how they should live?

A heat stroke victim the body is fighting to cool itself and failing. You assist. That part is easy.

Getting the body to do the opposite of what you want is the hard part. ie. Cool down below basal body temperature, stop breathing to perform thoracic surgery.
Yes, but you'd see similar issues (to a different degree) with languages like Typescript and JSX as well.

Cross-compilation has been a thing for a while now -- WASM is the followup to ASM.js, which was already being used as a compile target for languages like C.

Now, reverse engineering ASM.js is easier than reverse engineering WASM (although ASM.js is still a giant pain). And reverse engineering minified Javascript is even easier -- most competent JS engineers could debug a React project without source maps, even if it took them longer.

But it's not clear to me that WASM makes the process meaningfully harder. As in, you're still going to want to use source maps like you use today, and it'll still be totally possible to figure out what a program is doing without the original source. It'll just be a pain.

And the benefits to the web as an open, language-agnostic platform that can be used for memory-intensive tasks outweigh the downsides of needing to work harder to reverse engineer software.
Top cough syrup: Effective cough suppressant for a dry cough – FitnessHealths
I’m going off what I know about Amtrak, the California high speed rail project and local municipal transportation. It’s all a waste; not enough ridership to stay profitable, massive and unpredictable costs (California high speed rail is a great example) and ultimately not able to move the needle at all in terms of environmental concerns. These are feel good efforts, vanity driven or genuine expressions of a vision for the future which naively and irresponsibly refuse the accept the truth about ridership and costs that any competent political decision maker knows to be the sad truth.
Is that really analogous? The apple tree is going to take time to bear fruit, but love gratifies immediately.

War seems to progress as follows:

0 - Peace
1 - Trade War
2 - Financial War
3 - Electronic War
4 - Shooting War

Note that 1 & 2 are different types of Economic war, and could be grouped together. The steps occur in order, but steps can be skipped.

From a US-centric point of view, North Korea and Iran seem to be at #3. China & Russia are at a limited version of #2.

Chinese/HK seem to be at #3 with each other.Given how invisible Electronic War can be, it's possible that they are deep in #3. It's also possible that #4 might be initially fought with HK Police forces as a proxy. Think of that as "4a".
The downvotes might be from the fact that the Nazi concentration camps only turned into extermination camps in the very last years of their rule, so the danger of extermination camps might be at least partially inherent in the concentration camps?

It's also just flat out wrong.

I didn't see this as a problem solved by war, honestly.

We need to weane ourself off a dependency on China for cheap goods. We need to decide that we value human life over a cheap phone.

China gets away with what it does because it feeds our need for shiney new trinkets. Frankly, it's disgusting. The world could stand up to China and say it doesn't want it as a trading partner. Maybe that wouldn't even help, but do we really want to be doing trade with a country that operates like China does?
