What if someone were to offer you, oh, $50/mo for that feed?
Right, I think you just need to be more willing to make friends with people who don't necessarily share many of your interests.

The great thing about a big city, at least in theory, is that whatever sort of weirdo you are, you can probably find a group of people that sees it as a positive rather than a negative. On the flip side, many people in cities are very busy and don't have much room for new relationships, so it can be hard to establish close friendships, the kind you can hang out with on a daily or weekly basis, without some catalyst like school or (non-remote) work.

In a smaller town, people will have time for you and it's easier to integrate into a community, but you may have to water yourself down a bit to fit in. It's tough to have it all!

This paper might be of interest:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.05178.pdf

it explains the 'concept' of these kind of attacks and why its kind of impossible to make an abstraction which does not suffer from such flaws in the presence of high precision timers which are in turn needed for high precision applications (not sure what, i guess realtime applications or things which need to measure super precise.. maybe audio / video ? )

the paper goes a bit further and imo is a bit simpler to read than the original spectre / meltdown papers.

This describes my own views perfectly as well.

WRT. the perceived amount of "accidental moderates" being small, I don't think it's just because of voting systems. I see two other factors.

1) When you speak up on some issue, people tend to immediately pigeonhole you into a drawer with a political affiliation label on it. I've been called an illuminati NWO supporter by some, a Marxist by others, roughly in the same time, just because I voiced my opinion on two different topics.

2) "Accidental moderates" are not a uniform group. I'll bet that you and I have plenty of differences of opinion - on one issue, I'll be leaning left and you'll be leaning right, on another issue, it'll be the reverse. So once someone wants to leverage group support for one of their positions, they essentially have to sign up with one of the extreme, well-defined groups, that support that particular position. And while internally, they're still an "accidental moderate", to the outside, they just look like another partisan.
Are the deposits applied to the self-serve plastic cups? Also, I believe, the deposit on plastics should be higher than on cans. Recycling or not we should do more to discourage the use of plastics.
It’s difficult. I had a job before where I could work from home and they told me it was only 40 hours a week but I really ended up working more like 70 hours. Also got calls over night and worked on holidays too.
The best approach IMO would be to plan it six months or more out because it would give the customers time to know you will be take some time with plenty of notice. Then talk it up when you interact, not like a robot repeating I will be off during the week etc., rather talk about how you excited to get a chance to go visit whatever with the family.

You really should not use "Drunk" to mean some one that has had one or two drinks - it shows your huge (presumably unconscious bias) from your upbringing.
No. There isn't because it's not actually open source and this is bullshit.
While "I met a guy, didn't like him, I think this is why" is a bit too dismissive, your dismissal of a desire for factual data is disturbing.

One person's experience, no matter how broad for an individual, is still just one individual's anecdotal experience. This is true even if they have a sharp mind, decades of experience, and the best credentials.

The principles of fact checking and bias analysis should not be relegated solely to academia.

restingrants, a place to sit quietly and vent
I need help with something much more nefarious. I know of a location in a downtown area where someone has set up a malicious wifi "thing". I'm guessing the PWNAGOTCHI since the device changes patterns and comes and goes? It has learned how to use deauth to do man-in-the-middle attacks and absolutely closed down wifi in a half block radius by sending RTC packets of 12 second wait times and also waiting for others to send RTC packets and transmitting over them. Businesses close to it have no wifi. As you move away, wifi starts to improve. And no, it's not flooded as there is plenty of open air time not being used by the many devices there.

Steps taken:
- Have talked to multiple business owners nearby and they can't figure out why their wifi won't work.
- Comcast Business is worthless and weeks of calls by business owners and multiple tickets have led to nothing.
- Have talked to the mayor of the town and their tech guy agrees something is wrong.
- A "smart guy" that works for the government doing security did a quick scan and said it was because one wifi was on a channel between 1 and 6 so the overlap was causing the problem... that wasn't it.
- Have approached university researchers to see if their students would be interested in looking at/for it. No response.
- Have walked with laptop watching signal strength and know roughly which building it is coming from.

From what I understand, there is NOTHING one can do to attack it, other than sending massive RF interference, which would be a crime in itself.

How the heck does one get rid of this thing? Any suggestions?

It's very frustrating when the hide elements that are very useful. They're trying to guide people away from what works toward things that don't work, in their quest to make PCs work like cell phones.

Sort of related: MS has done something that stopped my DVD function from working. My drive plays CDs, but it won't recognize DVDs. I uninstalled the latest update, but that hasn't fixed it. I've searched and found this problem has existed and been reported for years now, as though it's a continual effort to prevent DVDs from working on all Windows machines over time. There are a multitude of 'fixes' that have worked for some and not for others, because there are many different ways to create the same problem. It strikes me as Microsoft's attempt to steer people away from "legacy" hardware (my new laptop wasn't even offered an option for a DVD drive) and toward the cloud. Well, I paid a lot of money for my DVDs and I don't have the money lying around to purchase the entertainment that I already purchased just because Microsoft has seen fit to break a product that I paid for. I've already wasted hours of time trying to fix it and I'm resentful of these people who have no respect for their customers.
I'm the OP, and if by counting from 0 you mean "how many apples are there? Let's count 0, 1, 2, 3", then that's not what I meant and not an educational approach I necessarily agree with.

All I meant was what I said: If you're presenting numbers according to "numeric order, but with a weird exception due to the history of typewriters, which BTW your children have never heard of", then it would be simpler to remove that one weird exception. Or, to put it simpler: 0 is less than 1.
Rogue APs are generally defined as APs that you don't manage but have been connected to your wired network. Obviously this could be a significant security risk. I don't think they're sending deauth messages to every client/AP they see.

While I take a lot of issues with the article itself, I concur the core message completely due to having done the experiment myself.

Two months ago I gave up my phone for a week, for a class on ethics along with a single other student.

Not being able to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and music everywhere I go, I fell into so many more conversations than I normally would in a week.

what I realized was that, while I didn't feel addicted to my phone I definitely was missing out on a lot of unique interactions by wearing headphones everywhere I went.
They would consider that a small price to pay. Being liked is not a goal they care about. The Poles have hated the Russians for many generations. And?

The Russian geopolitical innovation has been to hugely leverage the logic of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” from within an internal domestic context. That’s now why there are so many apologists for Russia defined by party-political lines.

Edited to clarify last sentence.
I'm curious how you feel when you skip the usual meal time. When I start feeling ~hungry and willingly avoid eating, I naturally feel "stressed" but I can sometimes channel the void into another activity. It's as if going full head on this other topic 'feeds' my brain chemically.
No report, been thinking about it.

Would then drive around with 4 devices collecting data on different channels simultaneously. With GPS and signal-strength you can calculate how often this is.

Been walking around in my neighborhood with a GPS-logger and a simpler setup (WiFi hopping to gather data). Found 4 houses where these signals come from in a 300m radius.

Yes, but the net value is increased. It’s because giving $20 to a homeless person has a different effect than giving $20 to Jeff Bezos. The homeless person goes and spends it immediately, whereas Jeff Bezos’ spending habits won’t meaningfully change because of that.
I don't understand why he decided to do his experiment after the students told him it was because they didn't understand the words in the book.

But anyway, I think some of this is true that things like social media have gone to far in attracting our attention. But also a lot of blame is with the structure of education. Listening to one person for at least an hour with sometimes a hundred other people in the room is not a good way of learning, at least not for everyone.

Also learning to remember to complete a closed book exam is not a useful skill anymore. One of the good things about phones is that almost any information can be found almost instantly almost anywhere. No need to remember formulas or dates. Instead how to find information, verify it, and use it is far more important.

I still have trouble with giving time estimates that seem realistic to me when I feel the customer will think it should be done in a shorter amount of time.

Okay, let's discuss just two details:

- They discuss an effect size related to gender based on the observation of n=7 chimpanzees. Unfortunately, the software didn't stop them from calculate t-tests etc. but this is simply ridiculous. At this point, we simply ignore the fact that the chimpanzees "participate in experiments on a voluntary basis". Self-selection bias is unheard of.

- Other statements are based on the observation of n=1 chimpanzee. Again, unfortunately the software didn't stop them from calculating an anova. At best, this is a case study. Don't get me wrong, case studies can be very useful and informative. I'm a big fan of good case studies. But you shouldn't disguise it as something else.

If you don't have data suitable for statistical analysis, forget about it. Do something else. Don't pretend you're a physicist.

BTW I don't question that animals respond to music. Why not. But just repeating piano samples doesn't make sound music -- not even techno. Don't ask animals to dance to sound no human would dance to.
> All California cities will go bankrupt because of 8% public pensions in a matter of years. (This is well-documented.)

It's really not. It's widely accepted that most local governments in CA will need to cut services or raise taxes due to pension costs, but not at all that “all cities” or even many will need to declare bankruptcy.

Not sure what the 8% you are referring to is.
The Unix API even returned a pair of file descriptors for the pipe syscall. Most ISAs have a way of returning multiple values eg for structs by value. However they fell out of fashion, I think only NetBSD still has a multiple return pipe on some architectures.
This is the sort of thing that the W3C committee and open-source web-companies should be researching/solving instead of "HTTPS" and "SSL pinning", "new HTML5 tags", "web notification", "location apis", and "DNS over HTTPS" type of stuff (although they are important on some level). We shouldn't have to rely on JS in order to do these sorts of website analytics. It could arguably be part of the browser stack and within the users' realm of control.

Instead we now have disable GA or all JS in order to not be tracked. GA is a huge privacy issue, and I have no idea why no one is looking at this more closely than some of the other things I see as trivial.

Google controls most of the web's search. It controls a huge chunk of the browser market. And a huge chunk of the websites out there use GA if not google-ads. Between Google and Facebook, we are constantly being tracked and monitored for maximum benefit/profit.

Case in point: Even without GA, I recently browsed a blog that had a Disqus comments section embedded on it. The embedded Disqus script did a post to "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/iframe" that had a referral header telling google exactly the page I was at, and it included a few other potentially-tracking tokens. Bad? You decide. But this is not what we should be allowing the players on the web to do, and we shouldn't feel like conspiracy-theorists for being bothered by it.
My take on this is that the network effects of living in a big city vs. small town actually increased post-internet. Ie. the value proposition of the physical city network is even greater with internet.

One obvious example is on demand food delivery. In a small town you still just get one or two places delivering food, the internet cannot solve that.

But in a city you’re immediately connected to every provider in your radius. It was technically true before but required walking around, local knowledge etc. The internet removed that upfront investment and made the physical network available to anyone immediately.
Adding HighDPI support certainly wasn’t the reason WinForms took the place of VB6, but it’s one of the things that VB6 doesn’t have that WinForms now does (it’s far from great but it’s something).

Perhaps better examples of things that were difficult to shoehorn into VB6 apps but first class in WinForms: multithreading, x64, Unicode.
>then it is not likely that you would be able to produce such a citation

I will prove you wrong. There's a citation to this usage in the OED back to 1811 that is specifically as I stated. If you had even tried to verify what you are writing you would have found this on your own. This is also flagrantly against this board's guidelines of arguing in good faith and not wasting time with flame bait writing such nonsense.

And look, if we're talking about an English word it is not unreasonable to reference the first instance of the word that language's country. But you sure did put effort in that point that technically speaking, there was an earlier police force, which also has almost no bearing on the idea that the word pig has been used to describe professional police for basically just as long as the english language would have been used to describe police.

Top factors affecting used car valuation
It may be an unpopular view, but I disliked this quote ever since I saw it. There is value in order. In particular, there is value in order over justice, when justice is pursued with scorched earth tactics that risk leaving everyone worse off, even those that were meant to be helped.

To use a perhaps extreme example: there's lots of injustice happening right now in China, and not a lot can be done directly to fix it. Are the people seeking justice willing to risk a nuclear war with China just to force changes? Would that help anything?

I worry about this, because I see that quote (along with an abuse of Popper's paradox of tolerance) thrown around a lot these days, by people who I don't at all trust to be of good will. The times we're living in are of great potential, but they're also incredibly fragile. Too much pressure, too much disruption, and the civilization may break down - which means not just rolling back a good thousand years of progress, but also leaving the next hundred or thousand generations stuck in these conditions on a thoroughly broken planet. You can't just reboot a technological civilization. Which makes me think that there is a solid argument to be made for minding the order, and not jumping to extreme action in pursuit of justice.

EDIT: I suppose this may be the "accidental moderate's" answer to the complaint about "intentional moderates". It's not about unwillingness to commit, or being extremely conflict-averse, or trying to appeal to all sides of the issue. It's about refusing to engage in actions - or call to actions - that lead to too much of collateral damage.
Use the guide I posted here to locate the device responsible using the signal-strength in Wireshark (search for NKOM).

The wording was very clearly made to avoid any doubt about “we need to track people to survive on ads”. As I said I think it’s sad that so far the fines have been for data security and not yet for tracking-ads-without-opt-in.

I really do hope regulators will take a few high profile sites and make an example with a massive fine for blatant violations.

The rule is: if I visit a site then tracking is OFF until I switch it on. Seeing the content can’t be conditioned on accepting, and the default “ok close the popup and show me the article” should always result in the miminum cookies allowed - that is, typically no ad networks at all.
The issue here is the interface to the operating system, which should be as universal as is feasible. Having multiple return values would work against that, just as using macros does.
Only marginally lower, but a common example is Ada.

You can actually describe hardware registers sanely and portably in Ada. You cannot do that in C.
