Yeah. A coworker went back to school and got a finance MBA from a third rate school, and already makes more money than a programmer managing a team of analysts, and he only has to know whatever script Excel uses, not a million trendy pointless languages.
I doubt I was MIT material, either. It's fairly possible we just got some kind of PR tour they design to not distract or interrupt the researchers, but it just didn't come across well.
After being all in the Apple ecosystem for the next 5-10 years but wanting to use a Kindle I decided to use Kindle + Kindle App in iOS (iPhone and iPad), after reading I export the highlights and add them to a Notion DB of my read/reading list where I can easily review the highlights when needed.

At one point I think i will give up on Kindle as a book reading and go all in for the iPad and I will switch to Apple Books but I think i will still export the highlights to somewhere.
Nuclear is renewable through seawater extraction: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2016/07/01/uranium-s...

If we want to get pedantic, there's a finite amount of fissile material. But then again solar isn't technically renewable either, since there's a finite amount of hydrogen in the sun.
I used my old Moto G1 as a baby camera/monitor. Ingredients:

- RTSP Camera Server on Moto G

- Address reservation for Moto G on DHCP server

- VLC and Shortcut to URL [1]

Worked like a charm. Much better than other solutions I considered trustworthy.

It's strange to me that they could support linux and mac back when they were smaller, but now that epic owns them and rl generates 50M(?) per year, they can't.
The writer seems to exhibit copious amounts of Stockholm syndrome for his captors. From that standpoint it was a successful intelligence operation on their part. Iranian intelligence can likely count on him as an asset to answer questions over the phone for them in the future for some time.
Your criticism is correct. It is similar in the gaming principle but way way behind in user friendliness and polishing. That said, as far as I know, this is the best alternative that we have right now on Linux. Having played it with kids (who never played Rocket League before) I can say that it can be a fun activity.
It's not hard to hate Linux (Desktop) when you develop proprietary software since Linux seems to go out of its way to make it as difficult to deploy proprietary software as it possibly can [0]. Libraries are constantly changing underneath you in incompatible ways, there are several hundred "distributions" to deal with, etc.

[0] And frankly it is only slightly easier if you write FOSS software.
I'm working on something similar, specialized just for PinePhone:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL1GREqoqx8

So far it serves as a boot menu. But given that it's a full Linux kernel running, I expect it will also support OS installation over WiFi or flashing over USB mass storage, and some basic HW tests, sshing in, and encrypted rootfs unlocking, etc.
I doubt that what came out the bottom was the original. I’ll bet that the exhibit can be rewound and replayed.
No idea, but on Firefox just click "reader view" and it gives you the text nicely formated.
No, that's not the workflow. You work in the notebook as normal but from time to time (say every two hours) rerun the whole thing.

One advantage of this is that it forces you to name your variables such that they don't overwrite each other. Further down the line this enables sophisticated comparisons of states (e.g. dataframes) before and after (something data scientists need)
Do they still have to label irradiated food in the EU? IIRC many people avoid it because radiation is scary sounding. I have to imagine that chemically treated meat would be an even tougher sell, regardless of how benign it might actually be.
Around 500,000 people have died in Iraq since the US invaded [1] and maybe 147,000 in Afghanistan [2]. Police kill ~1000 people in the US/year [3].

The Jurassic had higher CO2 levels than today, but the rate of change in atmospheric CO2 was much, much slower than today.

To provide an analogy:
Most folks are concerned about our acceleration, not our velocity. You can accelerate to 60mph slowly and comfortably, or you can accelerate to 60mph fast enough to kill you. It's not like 60mph is the problem, it's that if your biological systems don't have enough time to recover from the acceleration you will suffer consequences.

Nuclear is safe until it isn't, then you lose a large area of the country around the power plant (Chernobyl, Fukushima.) Personally I don't think it's worth the risk, plus the building times you write about and the costs of decommissioning.

> Students? You're proposing we track students? It says something that the first example that's used (not just you, I've seen it many times elsewhere, too) is that we track the only group of people who by-and-large cannot consent, and not only that, but in a way that has permanent implications for their right to privacy.

As if we already don't track students? You just think it's somehow better if a fleshy neural net violates their consent and privacy by manually checking up on them when they are are truant because why...?

And who says everything must always be taken to the extreme? Just because facial recognition technology exists don't mean it will always abused. I'm a volunteer secretary at a local community center and I'm sick of manually performing facial recognition and updating a google doc to track attendance. It wastes an hour of my time every week. Is it so bad I want a raspberry pi attached to a camera that can auto-update the google doc for me?

Epic also owns one of the largest "anti-cheat" software companies. That refuse to support linux, or work with Valve on making it work on proton.

There are quite a few games that work great with proton, but can't be played online because the anti-cheat won't run. Like Arma3. It runs great in linux, but the binaries are always 3-6 months behind the windows ones. so your choice is to find a server with 2-3 people on it, or run it on proton, see lots of servers with hundreds of people, and can't connect.

> Imagine the worst torture you can think of that doesn’t leave the victim disabled, something you can’t deny is cruel: burning, flogging — take your pick. If the victims themselves would prefer this torture to imprisonment, the inescapable conclusion is that prison is worse, even more cruel. I, and every prisoner I have asked, would prefer any amount of pain and cruelty, for a limited duration, to the years and decades we’re forced to spend here—spirits crushed, hope abandoned, relegated to irrelevance.

People will say they choose all sorts of theoretical punishments that have no chance of happening. In reality, I doubt very many people would actually go through with it if actually given the chance.
Would you say the same thing about a laptop screen?

This is awesome for the DeFi community. Glad to have a trusted source to aggregate liquidity from. Seems like liquidity aggregation will be commoditized on a long enough time horizon (think in terms of Plaid/Stripe positioning in legacy finance) and 0x is the first one to position themselves at the top of the funnel.
Taxes destroy money? How so? Taxes take money from some private entity, and give it to the government. The government then spends the money, usually by buying something from some private entity. How does that destroy any money?

The FED would love for hedge funds to INCREASE their cash bond and derivative Arb activity. This would arb away the differential and hedge funds would make a tidy profit in performing this service for the market. The problem is that hedge funds, prop desks, banks, and pretty much everyone DIDN'T step in and arb away the differential. This led to a massive 10%! rate for O/N repo, which is supposed to be a risk free instrument.
XCP-Ng Joins the Xen Project as an Incubation Project
Some sectors of the economy are strong, but other sectors are doing extremely poorly. Agriculture and mining have been hit by several recessions (two consecutive quarters of negative growth) over the past four years, while sectors like finance and technology are doing very well. The mining and natural resources sector was hit by a recession in ~2015 that was worse than the 2008 crash.

The problem is finance is by far the largest sector of the US economy, so when you look at aggregate GDP numbers, the US economy looks great because the modest gains in finance are more than compensating for the huge reduction in output in the smaller sectors. It's the same story for the stock market: the market cap of the stock market is heavily weighted towards technology stocks, which is compensating for the poor performance in lagging sectors.
The US has 450 deaths from Salmonella every year, the UK has had 1 in the last ten years.

This is a bad idea. Just get a visa. I did that and had no issue with getting the visa nor entering. Do not try to break immigration law — you can easily get permanently banned from entry if you lie to immigration officials.
Basically no explanation of how it works or why it's better. I suspect the extra thick foam sole and embedded carbon plate are acting as springs that return some energy to the runner as the heel lifts on each step. Kind of similar to those running stilt things that are basically bent carbon fiber sheets working like a bow.
>Sure, lets all just drink hydrogen peroxide.

I use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect contact lenses. It neutralizes into water and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst. It would do that over a long enough period when exposed to air. I linked a paper in the thread elsewhere that shows the same decay for the chicken washes.

Using peroxide as a lens disinfectant has advantages over other multi-purpose solutions which cause increased corneal staining and are at much higher risk of allergic reactions.
At least along the coast and as far as 1000km inland, it won't just be the ocean ecosystems affected. Land mammals, birds and the forests themselves rely on nutrients directly from the ocean. The world as it is relies on oceans having life as it is. The oceans are tied to nearly every ecosystem in the world in some way or another.
I'm also using this. I have Mac + iPhone + remarkable, and recently discovered some neat tricks so I can "print to remarkable" from phone or laptop, using native print/AirPrint dialogs. It's pretty cool to treat the remarkable like real paper that you can print to.

I use this AppleScript trick + rmapi [0] so I can use the native Mac print dialog to print to remarkable. Basically, anywhere I can print a PDF, I can print to remarkable the same way.

I installed Printopia [1] on my mac to host an AirPrint server on my local network, which can share the print extension I created to print to remarkable. So when I'm on my wifi, on my phone, I can use the native "Print" functionality to "print to remarkable" via AirPrint on my laptop.

The only thing missing is the ability to get this setup working when my phone is not on WiFi. I've installed ZeroTier on phone/mac, and connected them to the network so they can ping each other, but I'm having trouble getting mDNS to work properly. The laptop is sending the packets to the ZeroTier interface, but the phone is not receiving them for some reason. Not sure if it's expected, since iPhone Network Extension can only setup the equivalent of TUN interfaces, not TAP (which is needed for L2 AFAIU).

Griner [the mom referred to in the headline] initially licensed the image through Getty but ultimately decided to get the copyright, which was registered in 2012, according to the letter. Since then, Griner has fielded many requests to use the image in advertisements and for online campaigns.

Huh. I didn't realize this. On the one hand, it's hard to know what's copyrighted and what isn't (at least for a regular Joe like me, but I'm not in the business of making money on images I found online). On the other, if you're making/raising money, you really should know better and make it your job to find out (because it is, isn't it?).
iOS crash reporting and analytics are built in, but requires explicit user opt-in. It's not a requirement that an iOS app use Crashlytics or similar to get this sort of data, so saying "every single app will use such service" is not exactly truthful. And, besides, saying that "everyone does it" is not an excuse for the behavior.
AFL is neat because it's conceptually simple, but practically revolutionized fuzzing, especially for non-specialists. The basic algorithm is

def run_test_case(input):
# return a set() of instructions that the target executes when ran on `input`
# or throw a CrashException if the target crashes

def mutate(input):
# mess with the input- flip some bits, delete chunks, set things to 0xffffffff... randomly
# return the mutated input

def fuzz(initial_test_cases):
test_cases = initial_test_cases
coverage_seen = set()
# collect coverage from the initial inputs
for case in test_cases:
coverage_seen += run_test_case(case)

while True:
fuzzed = mutate(random.choice(test_cases))
try:
new_coverage = run_test_case(fuzzed) - coverage_seen
if new_coverage:
# ooh, this input did something we've never seen before!
# save it, so it can be used as a starting point
# for even more mutation
test_cases.add(fuzzed)
coverage_seen += new_coverage
except CrashException:
# we successfully crashed the target!
# save fuzzed off to disk or something and log a happy message

There's more to it in practice, of course- for example, run_test_case doesn't return a set of instructions, it's a bitmap / psuedo-Bloom filter of basic blocks hit. (A basic block, to a first approximation, is "a sequence of instructions that doesn't have any unusual control flow" - so if you run the first instruction in a basic block, you'll run all the rest.) And there's a fair bit of complexity involved for performance reasons.

But the core algorithm is simple enough that you can actually implement it in pure Python, for Python programs, in < 100LOC - and that implementation will find real bugs in a lot of Python libraries.

Overall consumer prices and aggregate demand were virtually unaffected by QE. All the individuals who, for ideological reasons, believed QE would be inflationary got wiped out.

> Yet threads make backtraces and control flow much less useful, since they miss out important context from concurrent threads.

Threads' contexts should be independent from each other. If reading your stack trace relies on the state of other threads, you've got a very brittle design.

What is lost is the history of the state the current thread is working with, but the state should be fully encapsulated within the thread, except in the case of large shared read-only input buffers that are being processed in parallel. But those latter buffers aren't hidden from the current thread nor its debugging. Debug information can also be logged on state objects to show its provenance.
