Well, it is not legal to shoot someone for stealing in Minnesota so I'm not sure how this would be lawful violence. He would need to have said something like "when the looting starts, we will attempt to arrest anyone that we see, if they then threaten the officers' lives instead of stopping or running away, then the shooting starts".

It is NOT legal for the Minnesota police to shoot a citizen that they believe is committing a crime unless their life or another person's life is under direct threat.
I always remove NTP functionality because even though NTP is innocuous, the servers still have a perfect opportunity to see when a box is online and keep logs of that. I just go to https://time.is/ and configure my clock manually.
Interview with Musician/Producer Sean Kongery
My experience is quite different. I enjoy contract work. And it is quite rare that I am treated very different than an FTE. While I don't get the same benefits, I am paid more, in fact I have a prepared statement for when FTE's ask how much I am making to avoid the awkward conversation after. I pay for my own HC and Roth and still make more than FTE's doing similar work as me at the same company. I control my WFH schedule, vacation, sick, etc. I also enjoy working at different places so I may be working at a financial company for six months, about half way through that I will start looking for a new gig (if I don't have one already) and that new gig might turn out to be a utility company. They often ask me back for projects as well. So it's nice to see old friends again. I obviously don't work on the help desk or racking servers but in tough times I wouldn't turn down datacenter work. Most of the gig's I work at approach me about coming on full time but at most I might extended my contract a few months. Most of my work I find on my own but I also work as a sub-contractor for a few places I like if they need help and our schedules align.
I'm not sure I understand. If you're a programmer, that's a trade and there's work out there.
What kind of utterly ridiculous policy is hiding posts for “glorifying violence?” So if I write a post about the Bangladeshi independence war, saying how great it was that we beat those damn Pakistanis, my post would get hidden?

Any remotely legitimate mailing list will respect unsubscribe requests, lest they run afoul of the CAN-SPAM act and/or start getting blacklisted.

Years ago I worked at a large email service provider for bulk mailings on behalf of large customers and we took unsubscribes very seriously.

And for the really truly spam/scam emails, the unsub link is the least of your concerns since delivery and tracking pixels confirm the address is real and being used. The true spam usually doesn't even have an unsub link. In those cases mark as spam and hope that your email provider starts flagging them as spam before it ever makes it to your inbox in the future.

I'm an aggressive unsubscriber and 99% of the time it works. Very little junk flows into my inbox these days.
SHA-256 is still secure for plenty of applications, but for awhile it's been regarded as a suboptimal choice for password hashing. SHA512 is probably overkill.

Really? Ignoring the "Spam" folder (which I never check), I get way less junk email than snail mail. And the snail mail is reliably 95% unsolicited garbage.

To be fair, Fastmail lets you set rules to route stuff to Junk, whereas USPS actively facilitates routing garbage to your mailbox [0].

I'm asking if you or anyone else has video proof of that. Are national news organizations exempt from an order like this to move (I know in some cases they are, but again, the lack of contextual proof here makes me question what they were told prior to what we've seen).
The design of Poly1305 was directly informed by this very technique, with the addition (heh) of performing the arithmetic on the x87 FPU operating in 80-bit mode. It even has some zero padding bits placed strategically to aid the technique, hence the security bound of 2^106 instead of 2^128 or 2^130.

This is really dangerous advice to be peddling on internet forums. Statements 1 & 2 are both misleading.

It is certainly true that a few high dosages of vitamin D are not harmful. The issue is the negative effects of having too high of a vitamin D status.

Anyone taking more than 2k IU/day should do so after consulting their doctor or at least testing of their vitamin D levels.
I don't think it's economically feasible for them to do so. Microsoft invested in WSL because they are trying to lure developers into Azure's cloud ecosystem and Docker + Kubernetes is a big part of it.

Laws that give the police _less_ power are generally written in blood. Meaning, there has to be a pattern of clear and obvious abuse for any change to happen. For instance, the now near-ubiqitous police body cams are a result of multiple well-publicized unprovoked beatings and murders.

The reason for this is that no politician is going to willingly step up for more police oversight and restricted powers, for at least a couple of reasons:

1) They will be painted by their opponents as "weak on crime" or even "supporting criminals" at election time.

2) They risk losing votes from emergency services workers, which are quite a large demographic in local elections.

In the update and the responses/interviews the author gave he clearly states that Microsoft copied his source, an absurd claim considering both repos are public.

He goes to say that "If I were the patenting type, this would be the thing you would patent. ps. I don't regret not patenting anything."

I mean come on. Every package has a .yaml manifest where there's a download link for every architecture, a hash, a version and an installation recipe. There's nothing to patent here. It would be extremely hard to argue there's no prior art, considering most languages and distributions have been shipping with package managers built just like these for years. Even my text editor has one!

Realistically, the author managed to get a lot of attention for his other startup for almost no cost. By bashing the company that's trendy to bash right now.
The article "Is Sunscreen the new margarine" argues that "what made the people with high vitamin D levels so healthy was not the vitamin itself. That was just a marker. Their vitamin D levels were high because they were getting plenty of exposure to the thing that was really responsible for their good health—that big orange ball shining down from above." [1]. If this is true, we have mistaken coincidence due to a common latent cause for causation.

The article "Limits of Vitamin D supplements" is a summary of the Lancet meta-analysis: "Vitamin D status and ill health: a systematic review", which is paywalled [2]. The review shows that Vitamin D supplementation has no clinically beneficial outcome on heart disease, stroke, or cancer.

FWIW, I have been supplementing with Vitamin D for over a decade. I would rather like Vitamin D to work because I have chronically low levels and it would be good to have such a good silver bullet of a nutrient. I have not stopped my supplementation but I do take more frequent walks in the Sun.

You still haven't refuted the argument. You disagree with my conclusions, but you've offered no proof that it's wrong. Twitter must editorialize all, or none. That's the deal in Section 230, and they violated it. In my opinion (that means not based on fact, just me here) the contrapositive with Theil would see a swing of vitriol from left to right.

I get that you disagree, but censoring proves the point.
In the video linked here -- which you seem to be referring to -- the reporting team is surrounded by police throughout and can't move anywhere.

If there's video from earlier that shows the reporting team doing something arrest-worthy, it would be good for your argument to link to it since there's nothing here that looks like it.

While a circular doubly linked list is an interesting data structure, this is a slightly strange site/resource - at least as far as algo/ds go.

Perhaps I am being too harsh, but the site is "alphacodingskills" yet appears to teach just the very basics of various languages. Additionally, all of the algorithms on the site are sorting algos (except one). For data structures it's just stack/queue/and variations of linked list

I'm not sure if I were to only know the basics of say Java, how to sort various ways, & basic ds that I will have "alpha" coding skills, or pass a rigourous FAANG-style technical interview (there is an interview question section on the site).

Edit: Overall it's a promising resource, IMO it just needs more content to be a serious one.

In the paper they say it took 3.14e23 flops to train. They used v100s to do it. This is an insane energy cost (and financial cost).

Nvidia's v100 product page [0] says that it gets about 15 (single precision) - 125 ("deep learning") teraflop/s at 250-300 watts (joules per second). That means that if everything's as perfectly efficient as a marketing product page, it gets about 250/125-300/15 = 2-25 joules per teraflop, putting this model at about 0.6-8 terajoules.

A gallon of gasoline has about 120e6 joules [1] (though if you wanted to compare with burning it in a car, it's only 20-25% efficient at best [2] so it'd be fewer joules/gallon).

This model took the equivalent of about 5,000-67,000 gallons of gasoline at best and at ideal perfect energy efficiency. I get that openAI has made a decision not to be efficient with their dollars in order to see what's possible with future tech, but that means not being efficient with energy either, and it's getting kinda crazy. Sure, microsoft data centers aren't gasoline powered, so maybe it is closer to this ideal energy efficiency, and it's definitely going to be a better carbon footprint, but god damn it just seems wasteful.

Hell, the new A100 (again going off marketing materials [3], so at least it's apples to apples) could do it about 4x more efficiently. Is this research really worth what it costs, when waiting a year makes it that much more efficient?

Americans are a little different from many other peoples. Every one of us has a chip on their shoulder. I'd expect it to be different, in a country with a docile population.

> I can't speak for the US, but it isn't normal in any city in Europe for your car to be rifled through every 2 months in a nice area of a city.

I don't know how you have knowledge of the normal number of car break ins in every neighborhood of every city in Europe, but yes car breakins are not infrequent in the urban US. Ours was probably particularly frequent because it was being targeted by some sort of organized setup, but it is not uncommon.

It's a function of the amount of inequity - Europe is generally has somewhat less wealth inequity in the United States and less generational poverty.

Way more than that if you count diseases from ticks.
Another data point: 5000 IU of D3 daily for years, after testing initially at around 20 ng/dL (iir the units c); this spring my level from a blood test was >90 in the first test since then. It seems like taking 10000 IU instead would've been overkill for me.

I supplement K2 and Mg also (plus a few unrelated things). I also get sick less, though I made enough other changes I can't tell whether to credit the supplements. (The K2 definitely helped a skin issue -- I could reliably bring it back by stopping taking the K2. That's probably a pretty idiosyncratic problem of mine, but it's an example of a supplement clearly helping.)

Chris Masterjohn has suggested that high levels of vitamin D could make you more susceptible to the virus, because some papers suggest that D upregulates ACE2 expression. He thinks it's best to aim for a blood level in the 30-35 range. I don't know how seriously to take this suggestion. For now I reduced my supplement to 1000IU/day.
General anesthesia often has this effect on both sides, because muscle tone is lost late in induction and regained early in recovery. If you've been surprised to find yourself wrapped snugly in a sheet just before being put under, this is why.

She posted that tweet more like 11 hours ago. Since that time it has become somewhat infamous - I've seen it in my deliberately not-politicized timeline and separately here on HN. What is the chance their content moderation team hasn't seen it?
Clearly rhetorical, but the reason is that's where the audience is. They will tolerate a lot for that reason but there's presumably some limit. I would not be surprised if whenever Trump leaves office, he announces he's leaving twitter for some twitter clone he's a part owner of geared for conservative audiences. He might be big enough and important enough to his supporters for this exodus to actually be meaningful.

Don't think he'll do it until he loses an election or his 2nd term is up though.

yeah, the plot thickens on this week’s episode as our protagonist tries desperately to not get kicked off the island and lose his conch of invincibility, even though we all know he especially deserves it.

it’s a small squeak though, unlikely to last more than a news cycle. he just loves the twitter limelight too much, loves being a bully, and really needs the media distracted on him for the next 6 months. we’ll get a bunch of these tirades as he tries every outrage to see what sticks with the media and keeps that sweet camera lens on him.

> ''But it's a lot less violent than ordering the military to shoot people.'' You know, he is president, that gives him right to use or threaten with violence if he thinks that safety of country is seriously in danger. If you think that he is breaking constitution there is court to decide about that.

That's actually not true. There are legal bounds to what violence he can and cannot threaten. The President is not a dictator, in which case you would be correct. And we don't have to wait for a court to decide that the order is illegal. Members of the military are actually supposed to refuse illegal orders, not obey them blindly like good little Nazis.
Don't be so disingenuous. The phrase is famous and it obviously is obviously not intent on trying to quell violence. I know to be contrarian and radically 'rational' is popular among tech types but it doesn't mean you have to bury your head in the sand when what is being said is so clear.
