AsciiDoc is amazing. Take another look at the architecture diagram. AsciiDoc is listed under the Proposed Text Edit: https://i.imgur.com/8IMpAkN.png

Pandoc can convert between Markdown and AsciiDoc, so it really isn't an either-or decision. For much of the blog you can tell pandoc to use AsciiDoc as the source document instead of Markdown. The conversion to ConTeXt will (should?) generate the same output.

One feature of AsciiDoc that's quite appealing is cross-references. The main reason I gravitated towards Markdown was because of its simple and terse syntax.
>The management of the supermarket figured out that the appropriate thing to do was to ration the product.

Because they had a government gun to their head in the form of anti-gouging laws, or implications for the same. That's what I am arguing against.

If they were free to set prices, they might consider raising prices to keep stores in stock, rather than ration. They might not, if they calculate it will be a long-term PR hit. But right now, they are not free to choose.
I mean, it's not like the US would let the USPS fail, as that'd cause so many dependent businesses and services (if nothing else, the IRS and Census forms) to fail. Unless they plan on running a free internet line to everybody's house that can have messages jammed down it very cheaply, but that seems more expensive than keeping the USPS around.
They combine pretty well together.
> Testing people with symptoms is a waste of tests.

It's not, though. Someone suffering from severe symptoms that aren't COVID-19 may have other treatment options available, and may be placed in hospitals with less strict isolation requirements. In a perfect world we would have isolation beds and supplies for everybody, but that still doesn't get around the fact that treatment for COVID-19 and bacterial pneumonia are two different beasts, and both lead to similar end results.
Already happening right?

It's actually exactly the same thing. The Han Unification didn't smash together unrelated squiggles that just happened to look similar, they were semantically the same - scholars of the Han writing system spent a bunch of time deciding what is or is not the same squiggle just drawn differently, like Fraktur, and today people are annoyed because, as you'd expect some of them believed that "style of fonts" was integral to the meaning anyway.
It'd be interesting to ask him about that. I suspect his answer would involve some pretty direct comments about how a deal can be done, but I really don't know.

After listening to episode 321 of The Azure Podcast[0] my understanding was that Azure DevOps would eventually be phased out; question begins at ~10:30 and at about ~12:00 a rough timeline of 5 years was given with guidance to select GitHub if just starting out.

> And even for Android, I believe, its promotion from Google was more to mock Oracle.

It certainly helps them shift away from Java reliance, but have you ever actually coded an Android app? Android is stuck on Java 8 syntax, and Kotlin fixes that. It has a laundry list of QoL improvements over Java (delegation, type alias, extension functions, data classes, better string formatting, operator overloading, smart casting, to name a few) that make it so much more pleasing to use over Java. ESPECIALLY when coupled with the aging Android framework, which it enhances greatly.
Fine, you want a policy that's better than the one described in OP but feasible on a small scale? Have the city buy up land and rent it out at market price. Allow any kind of housing to be built on top of it, have no requirements for income etc.

Then use the profit this produces over the current system to directly subsidise low income households.

This is more efficient and has the same subsidy effect.

Well, Biden's plan may be a solution in search of a problem that fits that solution. The problem is real enough. But...

Maybe, as a first step, we ought to look at why college is so expensive in the first place. If you look at, say, Western Governors University, you see that it can be done fully online reasonably well, at least for certain majors. Can it be done fully online, still reasonably well, for more majors, for a lot less money? If not, why not?

Then there's the problem that too often, college is remedial high school. It would be a lot cheaper to fix the high schools.

Then there's the problem that, if you make college free, you're not actually making it free. You're just changing who pays for it. That's defensible. But even if "we the people" think we should pay for college, that doesn't mean that we think we should pay for unlimited amounts of college for unlimited people at unlimited prices. $50K/year for 40 million students is not what we think we're agreeing to. "Everyone" has to mean "not everyone", and especially "not everyone for as long as they want to go". Forty years from now, we shouldn't be paying for some 60-year-old who's still trying to get his bachelor's (or says he is, but the truth is that he just finds the life comfortable).

What needs to happen is that the government comes in and says that we'll pay for college, all right, but not at your price. Your college is overpriced, and if we're going to send you students that we pay for, you can't charge that much. What I fear will happen instead is that the price of college, which (IIUC) has been going up 10%/year, suddenly goes up 20% or 30% as soon as it's the government rather than the individual who's paying.

Now, Biden's plan may address some of these points. I don't know whether or not it does, and I don't expect to learn so from this article.
The article's description of submarine warfare is surprisingly similar to how modern air combat is supposed to play out, and parallels modern artillery's shoot and scoot philosophy as well. Hide, find, hit, and hide again.

You phrased your response in the form of a question, but in general that format doesn't preclude a commentator from misrepresenting another's views. Your comment was of the form:

In this case, statement A was a non-sequitur derived from an uncharitable interpretation. It appears at least three different people had a similar view, as I did not flag this comment.

It looks like the offset of the instruction that needs to be patched is known in advance, so there's no need to open it in a GUI editor (for example, to do some searching for the right place). A python script would suffice -- just open the file in binary mode, seek to the correct offset, and write out the new instruction.
> It'd be strange for them (or a third-party customer management service) bother blacklisting Fastmail

If it's not a blacklist, I think it'd be even stranger for it to be a whitelist, precisely for the reasons you mentioned. mzkply's comment makes me think that it might have to do with Fastmail's email aliases, which is the closest thing they have that's like Mailinator (an email provider that is frequently blacklisted for signups), but I don't think it's similar enough that this makes sense.

I agree with everything you said about NYT's incentives, but that leaves the question raised by this experience.

I opened up a chat with NYT to ask about it, but I was left waiting for an agent there for an hour before I decided to just close the chat.

>did they just sell a (really) optimistic story?

Lies by omission are just as bad as those by commission.
I forgot to mention that China sells us consumer goods at a very low price, keeping CPI down. With the dollars we give them for their goods they purchase US companies, bonds, and real estate. This pushes up prices of the assets they purchase. If the Chinese did not devalue their currency, americans would not be able to afford their products and we would see a rise in the CPI.
That's a long story in both cases.

For the Tibet case, a great book about the history of China-Tibet relations and the role the British played in it is "The Snow Lion and the Dragon", free to read online: https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft2199...

For the Xinjiang/Uighur case, I don't have a book recommendation. Uighurs are a Turkic people, so they don't really fit into China culturally. Xinjiang became Chinese about a millennium ago, but Uighurs continue to fight for an independent "East Turkistan". The movement's headquarter is in Munich, afaik.
> MITM is more than impersonation in that it must fool both end points, not just the user, of the connection.

You are correct, this particular implementation of the attack did not demonstrate MITM directly. But it did successfully demonstrate that a MITM attack was possible, because MITM directly follows from the client not validating the authenticity of the server. The fact that this implementation displayed their own page instead of proxying store.steampowered.com and logging the requests is utterly immaterial to vulnerability's viability as a tool for a MITM attacker.

If you're saying that this is not a MITM vulnerability because the vulnerability demo loaded their own page instead of Valve's... well that's a stupid argument, and it doesn't refute anything about the client application being vulnerable to MITM.

> You are insinuating a replay attack

I am not. The statement "The website believes that the user is anyone who can produce the user's credentials." is a universal truism that applies to every service ever created. This has nothing to do with replay.

> Literally all that happened is that the attacker intercepted traffic and redirected it to a different location that is not the intended server.

So literally all that server would have to do is respond with the actual html content from the store, and suddenly you would change your mind about whether this effectively demonstrates a MITM vulnerability? Your arguments are not making sense.

I was kind of close to Forsythe's first investigation was published and his next one was silenced. The New York Times's similar, and subsequent, investigation into Wen Jiabao's corruption gained it a Pulitzer in 2013. Bloomberg journalists widely and correctly thought that the Pulitzer process showed a clear bias toward the NYT in favoring the paper's derivative work on an outgoing politician, rather than the trail-blazing work on the man who is now China's leader.

Here's some context: In 2013, after decades of reporting, Bloomberg News had never won a single Pulitzer. It ate at Winkler. One of the reasons Bloomberg employed Forsythe and funded the investigations of him and his team was in pursuit of that prize. The news organization and the company showed a lot of courage in publishing Forsythe's first investigation. And it suffered huge economic consequences. Its terminal sales to banks in China slowed considerably after that.

Bloomberg won its first Pulitzer two years later, in 2015, for a series of explainers on corporate tax inversions. That was after it had re-organized and some would say eviscerated the projects and investigations team that Forsythe worked on.

https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2015/bloomberg-get...

What Bloomberg realized, of course, as Bezos has realized with the Washington Post, is that owning a real news organization makes doing business complicated, because the best news stories contain information that someone wants to keep quiet. Bloomberg News has learned to toe the line on China, and that should scare people. It's a microcosm of how China intimidates individuals and businesses (and non-profits like the WHO) around the world.

While I can see the appeal, this seems rather blogger centric. And the problem with basing a standard of interaction on that is the 1% rule: 90% of people only read, 9% interact with content and the remaining 1% actually produces new content.

Practically it seems more likely that the final method will be decided upon by the 99% of people following blogs, not the 1% making them.
How would be awful in c++? It seems trivial to do, basic_string is already templated and distinct instantiations are not mutually compatible by default. In fact wstring, u8string, u16string, u32string exist today in the language simply as distinct instatiantions of basic_string. You can crate your own by picking a new char type. Algorithms can be and are, generic and work on any string type.

The https://themarketear.com/ newsletter is pretty good
Idaho on 20 March was at 23 confirmed cases (above the "low single digits" metric you picked, but you can pick other points too and get the same result). On 31 March it hit 515.

That's a doubling period of less than three days. It was spreading every bit as fast as New York was. It looks like exactly the same chart with a different constant factor. Yet you insist that these identical results are somehow due to different underlying behavior? Why? Where's the research showing that?

Because the pretty obvious hypothesis is that the disease was spreading the same way because it's the same disease and doesn't care about whether you live in Boise.
We will 100% consider it and have been engaging with the community about the best approach. Cypher is by far the biggest graph query language and they seem to have the most weight in the conversation so far, but we are going to try to represent datalog as far as possible. Even if woql isn't the end result we think datalog it is the best basis for graph query so we'll keep banging the drum (especially as most people realize that composability is so important)
The graph keeps going up in an exponential curve, even the one with interventions, through the end of May. You can see even the rate increasing at the end of May, so that means acceleration of growth with no hint of a leveling off. If they see it leveling off at some point I don't understand why they don't then extend the date range so we can see that.

What I'm saying is that promoting UTF8 everywhere, without specifically stressing the fact that filesystems (in general) do no observe UFT8, leads to API/LIB designs that lack good support there.

Wow, I read your comment just as the movie top gun started on my TV. I really wonder what air-to-air unmanned dog fight would look like.

Are drone swarms a thing yet? a sky filled with drones would be terrifying. I would hope modern jets deploy drone like missiles manned by ground crew for dogfights,but if I learned anything about F22 and F35, they spend trillions to basically let middle parties steal the money and the tech is something designed decades ago.

If I was china I would pop out hundreds of thousands of cheap drones to augment radar capabilities all the stealth tech would be useless if the adversary has millions of eyes at different altitudes each capabale of visual/infrared/lidar detection of fast moving objects. US intel seems spread thin, I wonder if they do enough spying to know what their enemies are capable of. Chinese R&D has been catching up fast these last few years.

Leaping to conclusions about what his or her unstated assumptions must have been

If you don’t assume that the subtest scores are the same across sexes, the “qualified questioning speculation” that there is something wrong with control variables makes no sense.

How does one tease out the difference between inherent biological differences vs. differences caused by a lifetime spent in the differing social/cultural environment facing boys vs. girls?

This kind of unentanglement is usually done through twin studies: you compare how well correlated are monozygotic vs dizygotic twins. Since it’s reasonable to assume that both monozygotic and dizygotic twins share the same or at least very similar environments, if the correlation between monozygotic twins on a given trait is greater than in dizygotic twins, it means that genetic causation plays a role, while if the correlation is the same, there it is likely no genetic causation. Of course, it’s a bit hard to find monozygotic twins of different sexes, but similar ideas are used in that case.

The point is, we do have the tools to unentangle nature from nurture, and in general, all points in the direction of genetic causation when it comes to cognitive traits. I recommend reading the Jensen’s 1998 book I mentioned.
