even assuming that's true and all other things being equal, people passing bots off as natural users rather than clearly marking that they're bots is simply lying and detrimental to discourse if for the sole reason that these bots are being mistaken for authentic users.

Given the crude tactics outlined in this article, with accounts making 400 tweets per day in regular intervals, duplicate accounts of the same alleged person and so on I think it's pretty bad that platforms like Twitter do not pursue the issue much more agressively.
Do you have blank templates of your Sheets workbooks that you could share?
It is commonly used as a transparency placeholder for a reason - nobody wants to actually see it.

My memory from my days in television was that magenta was used to represent transparency because it was the opposite of chroma green, and was easy to generate electronically. That's why it ended up being in one of the palettes for the primitive-by-today's-standards CGA adapter in the early IBM PC's.

Chroma green, magenta, and superblack were three "magic colors" that made TV production work in the pre-digital age. Sadly, there is no wikipedia entry for superblack even though everyone saw it all the time, and few understood its utility.
Yep, I meant salaried exempt.
Why can't they use a multiplatform GUI toolkit like Qt, and compile for all platforms?

My mother did this on my behalf when I was an infant, just a few weeks old.

"Nothing is staying down. Always throwing up. Not gaining wait."

"Oh yea yea sure new mother. You'll get the hang of it. Come back next month see you then. Naturally under weight since birth it's normal for the kid. Thanks bye."

Rinse and repeat until some doctor got bloody tired of the repeat visits. "Fine, come on in and I'll take a look." A few minutes later it was "oh fuck" and I was on a gurney being wheeled into surgery.

So now that it's decades after I didn't starve to death thanks to a procedure that didn't exist before 1912 [official diagnostic criteria at 1888] ... yea. Maybe sometimes you should bother your doctor(s). Sure, humour them and leave a lot of the time but when you know it's Not Good ... make them stop humouring you.

And yes, "I have the scar to prove it".
The thing with ADHD is that some type of kids are overdiagnosed, while other types are underdiagnosed. Basically if your kid suffers from:

- Poor academic performance

- Hyperactivity

- Poor social skills (gets in trouble, fighting, etc.)

Then they're most likely gonna get recommended to ADHD evaluation. But as you might guess, a lot of kids suffer from those things without necessarily having ADHD.

Some kids, like myself, mellowed out, and lost pretty much all the traits other than those of ADD. But I did just well enough in school - despite putting zero effort into it - that I flew under the radar.

Teachers figured I was just too busy fooling around / lazy / uninterested in some topics, while my parents argued that I was too hung up in sports / gaming / playing instruments.

And unfortunately, by the time you're a teenager, you only have one idea of what ADHD looks like: It's the troubled kids in class that got diagnosed early on, and can't cope in school; The "academic losers", as they are unfortunately branded.

In fact, that's the reason I didn't get diagnosed until my late 20's. My ex-gf hinted to me that I scored very high on ADHD / ADD checklist, but no way I thought, the only people I know with ADHD are those that never graduated from HS, and now are either criminals or minimum-wage workers.

Well, got myself evaluated, and sure enough, ADD. It was a thorough process, and took a LONG time.
Most of these are still schedule 1s though, so if an insurance change forces you to a new GP you can get the prescription yanked - there's no guarantee of access to methylphenidate in the US, there aren't any over the counter methylphenidates and any other acquisition route would probably break the law (like buying it in Mexico or from a friend).

That said, at some point it's going to be worth it to just pay out-of-pocket for five minutes of your old GP's time to write a new script if things are dire... but the fact that this barrier can exist is troubling to me since being in that ADHD hole makes it so much easier to get over these barriers.
Sometimes. Depending on the context. But usually in SV VC circles it's a dismissive term.
Devil's advocate here: if it has a low ROI why should they?
Compared to the Tiger Woods' school of thought where you put a golf club in the hands on an infant it's very late.
It deems accounts as bots if they post and retweet a lot and are newly created? Being familiar with the Yang Gang, people are extremely passionate almost to an addiction of supporting Yang. They follow his every move, his surrogates words, and engage with any tiny bit of content they can. Many are new accounts because few have ever followed politics and want to keep separate from their main accounts.

Yang has one of the strongest audit scores with 95% of followers being real. Contrasted with Bernie Sanders at only 69%. https://www.twitteraudit.com/andrewyang | https://www.twitteraudit.com/berniesanders

While there may be a few bad actors, it is definitely not representative of those that engage with Yang and his campaign. It shows up on the ground as well where Yang's following shows up in biggest numbers.

At least in Iowa, there were hundreds and hundreds of volunteers that flew in to canvass in the snow, outnumbering most campaign ground forces. In San Francisco, weekly hangouts have been growing to 30 people, and volunteer events turn out 15+ people regularly. I believe this is nationwide as well, there aren't many campaigns that have been matching the grassroots volunteer forces.
I believe Sartre had magic mushrooms before writing that, and weird things kept happening for a while after, like many months.
If the government encounters one of their kid's DNA, that's enough to identify them as a son/daughter of the person with that DNA profile.

If a medical insurance company purchases their DNA, analyzes it, and anticipates that a child of theirs is likely to have medical costs 5x the average, those costs will be passed on to those kids, absent legislation to the contrary.

This applies to everyone you're related to, as well.
Wikipedia is an incredible achievement. It's one of the only information sources I find to be consistently useful across a broad range of topics. It's also one of the only remaining sources I feel to be mostly trustworthy.

These days I append either "wikipedia" or "reddit" to most of my Google searches in order to get useful information. There's so much SEO'd garbage out there, but Wikipedia remains a breath of fresh air.
It's a start.

Now do the Sacklers.
It probably would have been different, based on other stories of twins that have been on hackernews or siblings in other news reports (the % ethnic background should be considered a guestimate)

"For security reasons" is laughable.

They want your phone number because their "advisors" blow up your phone every month or two trying to get you to use their financial services (which I'll never do). They also like telling me in the UI that I'm "not putting enough of my money" to work or some BS, just cause I like having a little nest egg.

That being said, it's a massively useful tool. I'll gladly let my Pixel spam filter their calls every couple months in return for being able to track my net worth and investments so easily.

I like this one:

I was thinking of Schopenhauer. And it's actually pain rather than terror, which should make us all feel a bit better.

I suppose he would argue that happiness is transitory, as is terror (usually).

“The basis of all willing is need, lack, and hence pain, and by its very nature and origin it is therefore destined to pain. If, on the other hand, it lacks objects of willing, because it is at once deprived of them again by too easy a satisfaction, a fearful emptiness and boredom comes over it; in other words, its being and its existence itself becomes an intolerable burden for it. Hence life swings like pendulum to and fro between pain and boredom, and these two are in fact it has ultimate constituents.” (The World as Will and Representation)
Running and diet improvements did great things for my ADHD, but it's not consistent. I'd fall into slumps due to ADHD-fuelled depression, I think. The stimulants do a great job warding that off and keeping me consistent with exercise. Consistent exercise tends to keep me consistent with diet.

If anyone argued that stimulants are bad for my health, I could only point out that without them, my health suffers acutely through sheer neglect and it's a downward spiral.
I'm pleased to say that a handful of past search subjects have gone on to become SAR volunteers themselves, so some people already do this without needing a judge's involvement.
So in this case do you need 1 receiver for every service you want to stream simultaneously? I assume your controller can do on-the-fly zone designations, but how do you control it all from other locations (or is that what you meant about control panels)
Would my symptoms disappear? Unlikely. They've been with me my whole life.

Would my symptoms be an issue? Possibly not, depending on how brutal the camping experience is.

I will concede that this semester I've reduced my workload and it's helping me avoid burnout and stress. Stress makes my symptoms significantly worse. I'd bet most people don't do well under sustained pressure, though.

That said, my problems aren't just limited to classwork and such. Doing laundry and cooking and other stuff I'd always have to do can be a genuine struggle for me. Even on the weekend, even on holiday break. Even with no pressure, I have these symptoms.

I only went on the ADHD route after exhausting all other alternatives. As I gain more responsibilities in life it's becoming obvious that I need treatment. And it works for me. Maybe something else is better for you. IDK. But don't write off ADHD. Nobody would go through these tests and take these medications if it wasn't genuinely helpful.

Saw an analysis of game sales on Steam for 2019 recently. Way, way down compared to 2018. Yeah, sure, it could be everybody is busy working, but it didn't look good.
Wikipedia is good for a broad definition of the term "duty of loyalty" but in CA that duty extends to all employees (see e.g. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/sd-fi-eaton-26...).

The issue is that many banks treat "read access" as a piece of verifying info that can give full account access.
This makes no sense. Most people only go to paris once, of bunjie jump once, or a billion other things. Just because you do it once doesn't mean it is no sustainable.

I sent a saliva swab and got my dna analyzed by 23andme. I got back information I already knew such as where I came from etc.

Serious question. IF the government catches a relative of mine who is a rapist or a murderer from my dna, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Could someone please explain what could go wrong. Keeping our community from heinous criminals is a good thing isn’t?
How much more complex is streaming sound going to get that a play5 gen1 won't be able to do it anymore? Lossless already audio works fine. It was maybe even Sonos themselves that solved that problem in the first place
For macOS you're probably right; a Vulkan rewrite is likely not worth the expenditure.

> Firstly, what do you mean by competitors? I'm pretty sure none of xCloud, Playstation Now, or Nvidia Now use Linux systems.
I see no reason why Nvidia wouldn't use Linux where possible. Windows, especially cloud based Windows, has weird and sometimes expensive license charges that any Linux-compatible game does not need. They're likely still going to run Windows VMs out of necessity, though. I don't know the game streaming market well but with the groundwork Valve laid down for SteamOS support, I can see Stadia competitors choosing to use Linux as a cost-saving measurement. Still Google is quite some party to ignore.

Aside from dropping generic Linux support (which, of course, has an infinite amount of configuration options, especially when you encounter Arch and Gentoo users) they're also dropping SteamOS support. SteamOS (Debian with a layer of Valve software) deals with basically all issues you might have with libraries and versions for you.

This sounds like a choice based on economics (cost of testing Linux packaging vs income from Linux users) but if I were a Steam box user, I'd want the money I've invested into the game back. Based on the laws in my country, I'd say the product will be mostly broken (the main component, online play, will be intentionally disabled) which might be reason to terminate the purchase agreement (i.e. trade the product back for money as its manufacturer will not fix the shortcomings introduced). They'll likely fight tooth and nail to prevent this but one big lawsuit and the cost of maintaining limited Linux support would likely outweigh the cost of killing it after selling the game with Linux compatibility.
I think you may be overstating the degree to which the sexual revolution has been rolled back. Its two pillars were universal birth control and sex outside of marriage--in other words the decoupling of sex from family and procreation--and those are very much still in place. MeToo isn't a rollback of those changes. Maybe there is a Puritan element to it, but there has always been a displaced Puritanism among certain elements of the left.
Yeah, that is awful. And it's a shame that such a useful concept got a negative connotation.

I'm on the side of allowing all employees, including executives and rank and file employees, to quit and work for a competitor without being sued. This is how a competitive labor market is supposed to work.

If you have eaten a good meal and you have some fat reserves you can spend a long time without having to ingest food (barring some minerals that you need every day), but that doesn't mean your body has become independent of its need for nutrition. You can do things that make it so you can last longer without food, but ultimately, the idea of independence from nutrition is ostensibly silly. Distorted views of self-reliance, in this analogy, is like believing that you can go without nutrition because you've become strong enough to do it.
Your citation is only a case study, so I would say that it's too soon to say anything has been demonstrated yet. My understanding is that marijuana inhibits memory formation[1], so I'd be very hesitant to recommend it to a student.

I just went through this as well. I found a used HTD Lync 12 (12-zone multi-channel amp) on craigslist for a steal from a person who never had the time to set it up. I was notified of it about a year after I created the search notification and jumped at it.

This past fall I spent a week crawling around in my attic wiring up every room on the 2nd floor with some JBL 6" speakers, that were also somewhere around $50 per pair. I figured if they weren't good I could very easily upgrade them in the future, but they sound great. I ran the wires to a DIY network cabinet in my basement.

We have two Chromecast Audios hooked into it, so my wife an I can stream simultaneously. We use it daily: Podcasts in the shower, white noise in whatever room the baby is sleeping in, music in whatever room we want, whenever, and the guest room TV is hooked up as an input so we can put the news on and listen anywhere. There are never sync issues, and the quality is absolutely excellent.

Wiring it all was not fun, since this was all done in finished rooms - which meant a lot of drywall patching and a fairly concerned wife. But it was so absolutely worth the time and effort for the system as-is. Also, I'm getting pretty decent at patching drywall.

Obviously, I get the draw for a wireless system. It's significantly easier to set up, and the features are lovely. But I'm glad to know my whole-house-audio will continue to work for many years regardless of what happens to any entity outside of my home. I can upgrade the speakers as needed. I can replace the receiver as needed. In a similar vein, it's mind-blowing how much better wired ethernet performs over wireless, especially in the realm of video streaming.

As for overall cost - I'm just under $1k, but that's because I found the amp for a great price on craigslist, which is pretty rare. If it weren't for that, I probably would have gone with the Monoprice Amp and still fit into that budget. Full price would be significantly more, but not much more than a Sonos system.
Where I am (Australia) an employer is not allowed to pay a salaried employee less than they'd earn working the same hours as an equivalent role paid on a per hour basis.

When I've had employers try to claim weekend/evening work was "theirs", I've sent them a link to that legislation and a pro forma invoice for all my time during employment with them for the difference between 168 hours per week at equivalent hourly rate and what they've actually paid me so far. That nicely sets the tone for further discussion.

(I only got threatened with being fired on the spot once for doing that, on which they did not follow through, and I was already interviewing elsewhere anyway...)
Same here. For my initial consultations they figured I couldn't have ADHD, as I already had a Bachelors and Masters degree. I had to walk them through my academic years, explaining that it was a long, long string of all-nighters and last second hand-ins; It just so happens that the school material was something I picked up quite easily, while I totally and utterly failed in easy electives which did not interest me.

The person I keep in mind on this topic of "it's never too late" is Colonel Sanders. At the age of 65, he was destitute and living in his car. Then he started Kentucky Fried Chicken.

It's never too late.
Notably, 32 bit floats are insufficiently precise for representing latitudes and longitudes. I seem to recall doing the math on it, and in California the next line of longitude representable by 32 bit floats was like half a mile away. Don't quote me on the number though.

32 bit integers are precise enough. If you define 180 degrees West as INT_MIN and 180 degrees East as INT_MAX your precision is about a foot.

Although 32 bit floats are precise enough in some areas of Africa because it's closer to the 0,0 point. But it'll fall down if you're anywhere else in the world.
I think some of the looser outfits in the Bay Area are being shook out. For each one of those names there were problems in terms of product-market fit. (e.g. Intel can't get 10 nm to market)

In the bigger economy I am concerned by the pause in 737 production which must be hitting suppliers, employees, their families, businesses they frequent, the state welfare budget, etc.

At the higher end of higher ed in the US we recruit foreign students, faculty, and staff who become part of our networks and it would be unhealthy for us if any sort of foreigner such as Chinese, Muslim, African or otherwise did not feel comfortable here.
It has a nice warm in look. I wish electronics usually wore in - the iPhone 5s in space grey was as close as I’ve ever seen to this.
Yang's campaign has been consistently growing and growing as other campaigns have dropped out. He raised $16.5M last quarter. Polls show him at 5%+ with an up arrow attached to it. And that's not counting that polls don't capture his base (first-time voters, independents, disaffected conservatives).

As for the article, I'll address it in another comment.
Five years? All things considered? Lives ruined? Deaths? Etc.? Is a slap on the pinky finger. It'll be a country club prison. Sentence will be reduced for good behavior. Etc.

Better than nothing I suppose. But not by much.
Seems like they’re making money hand over fist and releasing nothing besides cosmetic items.

I’m super happy to support the game developers because I love Rocket League, and I do buy cosmetic items when I like them because the 20 bucks here or there doesn’t really bother me so much.

But when I read the forums all I see is complaints that no one is listening, that there’s been no improvements on tournament play and organization, that there’s been nothing new for years except skins and decals.

Better training packs would be awesome. Being able to access training packs in any manner besides these 16 or 20 character hashes or whatever would be awesome.

Being able to favorite a training pack _after_ you started playing it would be awesome.

On the switch I can’t start a training pack from a 16 character code, then favorite after I start it, I need to reenter the entire code and then remember to click favorite.

If I ever do want to switch to a better platform than switch I can’t transfer any of the items I paid for, I’ll have to figure out the market place to sell my items then buy new ones on a new account, and I probably won’t be able to transfer friends lists or anything else.

Maybe it’ll get better if they’re supporting less platforms but seems like they could start introducing a bit more than cosmetics here and there considering the money they’re pulling in.
If you mean terahertz, 5G is supposed to top out around 85ghz. Also terahertz range is the start of infrared light. If you think that is dangerous, you might not want to sit too close to a campfire.
Not the poster, but also an ex-bay area tech.

The amount to which I was steeped in tech due to being able to do things like dumpster dive for computer hardware in the 80s definitely affected my career path, but _that is not a thing anymore_. And you are already interested, so having a seed of 'what's that?' isn't so necessary.

I've been out of the bay for 5 years, and worked there for almost 20. The opportunities I had were about a time and place, and _today_ that place is far more online than physically based.

If you can make it to the bay, it is a wonderful place, full of tech and culture and people from all over, but it is not the only place with all that. It's also hella expensive.

I think the Bay's time as _the_ place to be is over, but it's still _a_ place to be.

Good luck!
