Ah, apologies, I see what you're saying now :)

It's even more confusing because the triple product is actually a signed volume (pseudoscalar). I admit that I also never noticed these problems until learning GA.

Nowadays, what source is completely reliable? The best you can do is sample a bunch of them and try to piece together the whole truth from that, because everybody seems to have an angle.
Yes, section 230 protects Facebook for public conversations. But as far as I'm aware it also protects providers of private communication, because as a user of the provider you could potentially receive illegal content from them. The provider, should they choose to moderate content by e.g. having report buttons and moderation teams, could still be treated as a publisher.
I don’t have the context on the intentions of these people, but what makes you think this? Isn’t it possible they only care about protecting children and the side effects are completely dismissed, rather than it being a power grab? Just curious what evidence makes you believe it’s nefarious.

The burden of responsibility lies with the Africans, whose numbers are artificially inflated due to religious ideology and Western aid. Migrating to Europe will not alleviate the lack of self-sustainability.

The same could be said of immigration movements in North and Latin America. Taking advantage of legal loopholes and dubious claims of persecution for asylum does not improve their home countries.
That is not an analogous situation. Keyboard layouts are entirely a software thing. Modern keyboards have zero knowledge of keyboard layouts. Their communications protocol does not deal in keyboard layouts. They effectively speak entirely in terms of ISO 9995-1 key positions and a big bitmap.

Check out NetLimiter 4

Has the same blocking capabilities, however it is not just install and run like LS is. It needs a little configuring to get it to behave like LS, and (For me) it took a bit till I understood what to turn on and what rules to enable. Once I had the rules setup, it's basically the same. Once an app wants to connect you can let it connect once, until terminated, for forever, to once domain only, or any domain.

So what specific kind of USB-C cable will be allowed to be packed with my next shiny for the decades to come? What kind of USB-PD will the phone be allowed to support and - if the phone supports a higher voltage/amperage combination than the EU fixed in 2020 - will I have to buy an additional cable to support this?

How did we ever switch from SCART to HDMI after the EU forced the TV manufacturers to only support SCART in 1996?
Oh, it didn’t.

This is complete and utter nonsense. Apple’s powerplugs for iPhone/iPad only ever came with USB-A - or now with USB-C. They thankfully switched their lightning port before USB-C was even published, when everybody was still selling broken micro-USB or barrel connectors. There are many problems to solve, but Lightning isn’t one.
It's like they're the mafia or something.

Honestly, this is probably part of the problem.

If you ask the AP Calculus student to calculate these things, they probably don't have that down solid.

If you ask the sweathog vocational tech kid, they will know what the units of measure are and have no problem.

Practice makes perfect.
I really can.

Bytecode is basically the same as source. Decompiled binaries are harder to read, but there are oodles of professionals who are very skilled at reading decompiled code. The actual structure of the program itself plays (to me) a much bigger role in the auditability of a system.

I can't speak to that - but they also haven't felt as much of a need to devote resources to it as they feel, accurately, I believe, that the NRA has enough resources and a loud enough voice on that topic.
Does it not seem somewhat disingenuous to lay the blame for the dip in religious affiliation and the rise of secularism entirely on liberals? Could the internet and increased access to conflicting information have played a role?

Not to mention the irony of addressing the toxicity and polarization of the internet by adding yet more toxicity and polarization.
My understanding is it's because XMPP expects the client to be able to maintain a connection to the server, which is typically not possible on iOS. Apps on iOS are generally not permitted to run in the background, with a few limited exceptions.

> When she someday establishes keys, and cryptographically proves her Twitter account, the Keybase servers will ping my apps and ask for me to make available the decryption key to her. My app will check the signed statement from myself, check her tweet, make sure the proof is valid, and then send the decryption keys to her, encrypted for her device keys.

> Keybase is not a trusted man-in-the-middle here, and no one else has keys. The only weak link here is Twitter: my assertion is like this, in English: “once someone who owns the @billieeilish Twitter account publicly proves a Keybase connection, I'll unlock it.” If Twitter gives that account to someone else or takes control of it, I'll be trusting Twitter's answer. @billieeilish is not yet a human. She's a Twitter account.

That seems decent at first pass. Keybase could maliciously not notify about her joining keybase, but everything after that seems like it follows a cryptographic path.

Is your concern that their code is improperly implemented (which seems the concern cited for triplesec)? I'm not seeing the abuse risk. Any pointers?
Writing Runbook Documentation When You’re an SRE
I use what I call "C+" which is C plus classes, basic templates, and light polymorphism when it is absolutely perfectly suited. I'd like to explore a lot of the later features but I haven't had the drive to do it. I write a ton of embedded C for money and learning C++ has lifted my C skills tremendously. It forces you into certain paradigms that you can easily do in C if you have the discipline.

Remarkable how these debates reveal how many have a "scientific" attitude. Generally very few.

There is no such thing as "done science". Science is about hypotheses that are questioned and challenged to come up with a better hypothesis.

I'm astonished how this simple thing is not evident in much of the debate.
Vaccine "skepticism" used to be more prevalent among the (mostly left) urban health freaks. But that is changing rather rapidly, see for example https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/27/anti-vaccine-repub....

This might be a good example actually of people self-sorting into one of the two tribes. And Republicans (not conservatives) have conquered the science-is-bad spectrum so thoroughly they don't need to fear competition in the foreseeable future.

C++ is probably a little different. There’s a lot of ways to do things due to accumulated cruft, for example. I’d wager at least a good 20% of C++/STL is to some degree redundant.

You are misunderstanding. The idea is that manufacturers are free to do USb D, E... Z, they just have to all agree on whatever is their next thing.

It also is just a charger, they can do whatever they want with data.
Right-wing media outlets paint a detailed picture of how Donald Trump is the victim of a fabricated conspiracy...None of that is correct

Day 1 after the election. On Day 1 after that guy was elected the media--95 percent of it, in lockstep--said the following: "Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia, etc, etc, etc." For years.

And then they dropped it when the shit didn't stick as planned.

So, yes, the title of the article is correct.
While I'm not sure I agree with your point about liberals "destroying" organized religion, I agree that churches (and other place of worship) unite local communities and the members look after one another.

We should really be putting far more effort into building similar non-religious communities. Things like book clubs, hiking clubs, or anything that involves shared interests.
I feel like there are people who inherently do this in any situation (eg. In person discussion), so for me, this just seems like human behaviour regardless of it being on the web. Sadly.
As far as I can see, the keyboard in that article doesn't have {} either. That's going to make a number of languages difficult to program with.

They passed this 15 years ago.

They gave apple the benefit of the doubt with the 30 pin connector and lightning that apple was going to make them standards, apple hasn't made that happen, so now the EU is saying they have to use an actual standard.
I very much love and hate NNT. I think my biggest gripe about him is most of his books and podcats are kind of the same story over and over again: fat tail/Poisson distribution realizations. I do find him interesting most of the time but I wish he would also cover more things. And sorry this is a generalization, I know not everything he puts out is this.
AFAIK that is the directive that that was already planned years ago.

I remember many years ago there was a new charger for each version(!) of a phone, so the EU said either the companies choose a common port voluntary or they will regulate them.

That was 2009 shortly after that every major phone provider switched to micro usb, except of course apple.

2014 the first regulation was voted and should have went in effect 2017.
It looks like this scheme is going to collapse now. The next important thing is to reinstate the price caps.
That's OK. People do move to platforms like Gab, but those platforms tend to be echo chambers in their own which has a limiting effect on their popularity in addition to the limiting factor of their initial toxicity.

They're not really good for recruitment (because they're echo chambers that only appeal to people already invested in a point of view), nor do they provide much amusement from baiting other people with very different opinions; these two factors are in stark contrast to mainstream platforms, which provide an abundant supply of both.

Naturally, you get cross-platform raiding where people organize on one platform to attack another and then enjoy the spoils if their attack results in upset, outrage, bans of the target etc. But off-platform raids are relatively easy for platform operators and target populations to monitor, detect, and repel. Likewise, the extremist or highly toxic platforms that people do congregate on function well for a policy of managed containment.
Trump Administration Loosens Obama-Era Restrictions on Land Mine Use
I wonder what that will do for security. It seems the publicly known exploits tend to use the wired connection to swipe data from the phone. It would likely be much more difficult to do that wirelessly. It would be a shame to lose the potential hardening benefits because of some lawmakers who may not have privacy as a core interest... or indeed quite the opposite.
Note that Apple adopted Qi wireless charging.

At that point my purchases of lightning cables stopped after I was able to take advantage of it.

Apple always, always fights for control. It is not nefarious per se, but it is usually at the (literal) expense of their customers.

Thank you guys for the response, super appreciate it.

I guess, I can understand from an abstract perspective that you can manually tune performance and optimize to a higher degree if you can control memory allocation yourself.

And for a lot of purposes where performance is imperative, like games or embedded devices it can make or break the ability of software to function properly.

But my question then is, if languages like Crystal, Nim, or D (or any other GC lang with similar speed) can operate either at/near the performance of C, why exactly do you need manual memory management?

And if you do need it, I assume many languages that cater to this audience provide some sort of symbolic annotation that allow you to manually control GC where you feel you need it, aye?
I agree — this is happening and people are dying. I just wish we could acknowledge the tragedy without creating a non-existent World War Z.

> the "2 x 4" has never been 2 x 4 inches.

Well, it used to be pretty close, until lumber manufacturers and builders cheaped out. They've been gradually "shrinkflating" by reducing the thickness, conveniently requiring less wood. This went along with the switch to fast-growing garbage pine. I lived for a long time in an early-fifties house, and the quality of the wood was vastly superior to what you'd find today. Though, the newer measurements did make things a pain.
Worth keeping in mind: Joel's pulling stats from a very dark spot, located somewhere behind.

Depends on the size of the fine. GDPR fines theoretically hit plenty hard.

15% of 100 infections is a different beast than 2% of 1M.

There were roughly 8,000 SARS infections and currently about 10,000 nCoV infections so the comparisons aren't quite as absurd.
Here is an article from CBC[0], the source of the original article that sparked this theory. It claims to debunk the sensational claims, going as far as to call them fake and a conspiracy.

No coronavirus was sent to Wuhan from that lab, it was a henipavirus and Ebola. It also wasn't sent by Dr. Qiu.

That doesn't prove the coronavirus didn't escape from the Wuhan lab. But it does debunk this popular theory that it was Dr Qiu.

Even if it did escape from the lab, it doesn't mean it's a bioweapon. Although the CCP are almost certainly working on them, possibly in their only known level 4 lab in Wuhan. I imagine there is a research overlap between bioweapons and treating people. They both require a deep understanding of how the viruses function.

There is an interesting unanswered question: what is the RCMP investigating Dr. Qiu for? They are very vague. It could be nothing, or it could be related to her helping setup the lab in Wuhan. The RCMP is a vain, inept organization IMO.

Have they seen this strain among animal populations? It seems logical to establish that animal populations can carry it, and in doing so it should be traceable there.

It seems in the avian flu they had established very early on the lineage of it. It seems very unlikely that they will not be able to identify patient zero.

There was a very far out article on zerohedge (not making any claims as to the legitimacy of the article or the publication) which had some interesting references about recent coronavirus research in facilities outside of China. I wouldn't normally promote it but there are some interesting references in there. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/did-china-steal-coron...
It would be kind of neat if there was a definition of different levels of the language and you could specify which level you allow in the file. This would be stronger than running a code style analysis tool. Not sure how viable this is but it would be nice to somehow phase out things like auto_ptr and others in projects.

Sometimes it's hard being a liberal when you have to deal with the fluoride idiots or the "EM radiation causes autism" ... not just from the lesser-intelligent, but from intelligent-yet-highly-misinformed people (e.g., I know severeal doctors who believe Wi-Fi routers might be dangerous and are worried about 5G deployment... yes, I said DOCTORS ... show me some double-blind studies, people).

Every group has their wingnuts, but I'm sure as heck am glad my liberal wingnuts aren't calling for the extermination of nonwhite/nonchristian/nonheteronormitive people.

That's fine for measuring most things, but not necessarily for survey work. Your reference points can be quite far away, and you are dealing with angles. So ever pretty tiny changes can be significant.

You're absolutely right. It's time we removed the quasi-metric garbage and replaced it with proper customary units defined on the same universal constants used by SI units.

I think a "just let it happen" attitude like Google Adsense's with fake clicks problem may be the solution. Google at one point decided instead of fighting bots and publisher's tactics to click on their own ads decided to allow the fake clicks reasoning that if the actual person click on the ad is not going to buy a product the ROI of the ad would drop on that particular publisher's website. Over time the system would correct for itself and just show fewer ads on that site or lower its cost per click for ads shown on it, hence solving the fake click problem in a clever way.

I think if we employ the same tactic and let polarization happen online there will be communities where the ROI of discussions drops exponentially and there will be places where less of that stuff happens for whatever reason and they will be the truly engaging places to hang out online.
