It's the gradient applied over the whole ocean that causes the tides. In other words, the forces are not enough to create any kind of local change in the depth of the ocean. It's not a gravitational "pulling" as we're accustomed to think about, but more of a global squeezing of water from that gradient applied to the entire ocean. I'll have to give some more thought to the idea of a gravity source on the surface of the earth, but I doubt it would work the same way (we're comparing a relatively small mass in a concentrated location on the earth with that same mass distributed mostly evenly over the earth).
Yes but a private company has absolutely no requirement to provide you with free speech forum.

Also Freedom of Speech is nothing if it is not somehow enshrined in law. There is no universal freedom of speech, like gravity or the speed of light. Freedom of Speech is whatever is detailed in law, so the 1st Amendment is probably the best example of it however. It allows hate speech (if you dont call for violence), because you can be free to express your opinions without the government shutting you down or arresting you. But that protection does not mean others cannot avoid you or withdraw services from you if they diagree with you.
Why do you think it fails as basic security against the government? Honestly curious. And what would you suggest instead. To my knowledge many dissidents and activists around the world are specifically using TOR because it supposedly does indeed provide protection against government tracking.
Enough is enough. I just downgraded to 76.0.1 and it should be good enough for a long time. Here is what I did on MacOS:

1) Uninstall Firefox
2) Install v76.0.1: brew cask install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/40b6b69674d6a068105059668163476f21d94258/Casks/firefox.rb
3) /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox --allow-downgrade
4) Quickly disable auto update in Preferences
5) Be happy with the old bar ;)

Now, v77 is already "Install Pending" in "Show Update History", but it can be ignored. But still, does anyone know how to remove it being pending?
Experiencing tear gas doesn't come without long term effects on health. There are also many varieties available, but CS is pretty rough and the most common form used in the US.
I have to agree. This hurt authors everywhere and authors can't allow this kind of precedent to take hold or authors can't afford to eat. Nor can readers, really because without well-fed authors, there's nothing to read.
This is just a fantasy. We are now just pretending that IA did something other than what they actually did?

> Public libraries get licenses from publishers for the e-books they lend, and publishers receive payments, according to the terms that are set. Internet Archive doesn’t get licenses from publishers but instead relies on donated or purchased books or copies it acquires through collaborations with physical libraries. The books are then scanned and made available for one borrower at a time, for 14 days. With that restriction removed, the archive is now operating more or less like a free digital book site.
The human readable urls are a nice touch. It's nice to see tor becoming more user-friendly in the most recent releases.
There's unavoidable telemetry. I.e., there's metadata about your interactions with Microsoft's servers that Microsoft inescapably derives from those interactions. You can certainly ask them to throw that metadata away; but—if you're paranoid enough to be worried what they'll do with it in the first place—then why are you trusting them at their word?

It would seem the only route to privacy, in such a world, is to never interact with their servers at all; which means never receiving updates; which makes any OS into a lame-duck product vulnerable to all manner of exploits; which probably means you should just never touch a computer in the first place, "to be sure."
Wendy Carlos is a well-known name (mostly for the Clockwork Orange soundtrack I think), but her recordings are not as accessible as they ought to be. That is, there are no (legal) digital downloads or streaming options for her oeuvre, and the CD's and records have been out of print for years.

I only recently discovered Switched-On Bach (and the other three albums that followed: Switched-On Bach II, The Well-Tempered Synthesizer, and Switched-On Brandenburgs), and you are right; these are really interesting performances of such well-known classical works. Worth exploring!

And for a light classical snack: she created a 'sequel' to Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals with 'Weird Al' Yankovic in 1989!
I moved to Cali from Illinois. These numbers look correct. A similar, but smaller property was MORE than 10x greater in California.
> For the first time, Tor Browser users on desktop will be able to opt-in for using onion sites automatically whenever the website makes them available.

Good. This is, in my opinion, one of the bigger pain points of the whole Tor experience.

I don't personally think the problem is with understanding how onion addresses work (I've explained them to my mother and she understands the concept pretty easily), it's just the user-experience that has always been kind of a pain - even for people that use Tor often and understand it well.

I don't use the Tor browser for a number of reasons, so I can only hope other browsers follow suit.
Using different ones for dev and prod still might be good idea. If either one is compromised, there’s a chance the other is safe. You can still rotate them regularly, and/or if either one is compromised.

The argument is whether actions like this are the best way to "return sanity to copyright law," though, right? It seems to me there's a lot of space between "eternally extending copyright to keep the first Mickey Mouse cartoons from entering the public domain" and "anyone should be able to do whatever they want with other people's work at any point regardless of the creator's objections."
It should really allow you to continue scanning but prevent you from paying until the associate confirms that you're not stealing. That's 90% of the issue with the weight sensors -- the sensor stops me from moving forward with other purchases because it's making me wait for someone to check my stuff. But if they left the notification on while I continued to scan that would eliminate my issues with it entirely. Then they wouldn't need to rely on flaky AI.

The other issue I have is that the barcode scanners are not activated until the weight sensor settles out, which can take several seconds up to a minute, so it's way slower than going to a checker. If the weight sensor didn't gate barcode scanner activation I would have a much better experience.

All they really need to do is verify the weight of the total transaction and have the associate check on any discrepancies. And they can probably use a very noisy weight signal with a low-pass filter. They don't need to blow a ton of money on an AI solution that is about the same level of inconvenient.

If I had 10 or 20 million dollars I'd build a better self-checkout.
I'd love to see how npm would deal with tensorflow. It's a tough package to compile from scratch.
I think I've enjoyed card based games more over time for this reason. Lots of variety in game pieces look great on sites like kickstarter, but end up being boring. The modern games from the 90's a d 00's seem to have hit a sweetspot in terms of fun rules and complexity.
The cops should never be escalating. That's the point.
No when life gives you lemons, there is no need for whataboutism. Let’s keep pressuring and working to get to training and accountability too.
No, developing a semiconductor manufacturing process requires far more than the equipment.
That might fix things for you. But it doesn't fix things for the nation, or the world.
Yeah, it's generally a great organization, but that doesn't mean you can't do bad things.

When they announced it, I wrote a friend at the IA and told him it was a big mistake. I tried to get them to change their mind. They had plenty of warning and thought their good works would insulate them.
Maybe they aren't sure if they can get their 5nm running?
> if there is 1 looter and 99 peaceful protestors, is it a peaceful protest or a riot?

It is both, and the peaceful protestor must be very careful to watch out and squash agent provocateurs. Anyone causing unrest from within the peaceful group should be dealt with accordingly, not have their behaviour copied. And yes, this means that the crowd resorting to violence against the agitator (who is acting with violence) is a reasonable response.

The trouble is that the demonstrating bodies are very often made up of naive, impressionable youth who haven't yet formulated their own strong opinions, but have been spoon-fed what to believe through academies and media. The crowd itself has the ability to twist an individual's regular reasoning and they'll follow the pack mentality. You can reason with individuals, but to reason with a crowd you need influence and a platform - such as that of the State itself. No shortage of examples where the State has led people to cause atrocities on its behalf.

The polarization is certainly happening and worrying, but it is not accidental. There are people funding terrorist organizations like Antifa with the aim of causing unrest. Universities are being funded by China to promote communist values. Saudi oil money is being pumped into sillycommie valley to gain influence over tech companies, who then influence larger audiences. Then there are internal traitors who are probably the most dangerous. Basically, there are anti-American forces who want to disrupt the American way of life and many people, especially the liberal and privileged college classes, are falling for it.

This is not true, and I wish people would stop repeating it like gospel.
ML platform Amazon SageMaker integrates with open source Kubeflow Pipelines
Thank you for breaking it down so well.
Microsoft actually makes something in crude terms. Software companies create value with the product they build. The IP is the product.

Publishers take someone’s work in crude terms. They might build a bit on top of it (proofread, format, etc) and then put it on a medium for distribution. Medium is technically the product here.

To me a better comparison would be a company writing the windows installation to a CD and then selling = publisher.

I could be wrong so am very open to hear the reverse argument.

PS: recently a friend wanted to publish his own book and the publisher asked for him to pay the entire printing cost and a lot of other fees plus taking a % of sales. This is the closest I got to interact with the industry and was a bit shocked and also understanding that they can’t find everyone but still... came to be as a bit greedy
The social media fake news conundrum
DoubleSpeak – How to lie without lying
As a non-lefty I support these measures.

I’d rather see the government aggressively silence everybody’s voice than be drowned out by screeching blue haired Marxists working for global mega corps sneering “it isn’t censorship if the government isn’t doing it.”

I doubt anything can change my mind on this issue either, radical leftists run social media, and even cooperate to take down anything they privately decide is hate speech.

So let’s all join hands and go to the gulags of the future, together.
There were definitely authors before copyright existed.
Disliked the lazy load speed on mobile. Clicking through the feature tabs with the videos left me waiting for them to load (which I didn’t know would happen).

A placeholder with the “sheen” type effect might work so I know something is loading.
Depends on your gaming culture. If you're friends with a lot of people who play games, and you learn games from each other, then it will be very rare to have a game that no one present has ever played before. When I think through the games I play, I remember being taught all of them by other people.

I wonder whether maybe game-makers are usually in this sort of environment, and so don't think as much about the experience of a group of four beginners sitting down to try out a game?
Some around here hassle people for their receipts near the exit. It was already my least-favorite place to shop for a ton of reasons, so that was enough to stop me ever going. It's one thing at Costco where I agreed to it and they're very fast and nice. I'm not standing in line to get permission to leave friggin' Wal-Mart (yes I know you can just ignore them but they sometimes try to stop you and make a big deal of it and that's just not a situation I want in my day)

Interesting idea, might be important to brush up on the implementation rationale of Unix.

To that end there is The Design of The Unix Operating System, Bach [1]. Or A Fast File System for Unix [2]. Or The Design and Implementation of a Log-Structured File System [3]. It seems to me that files solve for the problem of how to deliver an economic memory management system, and they do it by paging cheap disk space so that it's an effective proxy for fast-but-expensive memory. Also files, with their file pointers, can certainly be used as data structures, but this 'understanding' of what each section means is clearly variable, so is best left to specific applications and it's not good to build into the system as a default. Different applications will want different structures for optimal performance...

It's baloney. Powell books was open and hiring staff to handle online orders. And if you must, there was also Amazon.
As far as I know the spec doesn't allow it for some reason. I guess one reason could be the power side (which I haven't mentioned and I am not familiar with it)?

Let's assume the hub requests 19V from the upstream port. Unless it has built-in, variable, per-port voltage regulation, it will not be able to respond to power requests from the downstream devices if they differ from what is coming from the upstream port.

This isn't a problem when providing USB-A ports because you either request 5V from upstream and pass it through or request a higher voltage and have a single 5V regulator and pass its output to the downstream ports.
So let me get this straight...

The complaint is that you've been able to use a laptop, for 7 years, where no other manufacturer has even COME CLOSE to the longevity of apple equipment, even at the same price range.

So for SEVEN YEARS, you have not given a CENT to apple. and have gotten free software updates, no pay for new OS's. ( again, no one does this ).

...and the complain is that you don't "love it".

are you serious?

Well, maybe you should remember that people tended not to love their hardware manufacturers until apple decided to pivot to making great hardware.

I would say "vote with your money", but its clearly that you don't do that, since well, you didn't give them a cent for 7 years...
Sure, maybe there is limited use in some of this equipment. But my small city police department recently got a grant for 450 high powered assault rifles and armored vests, on top of the hundreds they already had. There are only 700 officers including things like traffic enforcement.

Of course the police union lobbied for more.

They have armored trucks and undercover vehicles. They have mobile towers to survey. They have closed circuit cameras at every major intersection. They have Stingrays. They have purchased LRADs which can permanently deafen. They have helicopters, tear gas cannons for hundreds of officers, batons.

And they trot it out for peaceful protests. The police did not come equipped to protect, they came equipped to escalate and occupy.

Hell, they even manage to bust a lot of the equipment out at concerts and festivals. I stopped going to a local outdoor concert series when they decided to gate a park off and start pat downs and metal detecting everyone who entered.
On other hand, it sounds way more real than previous rumours of AMD slapping ARM frontend onto Zen
I think this is spot on, and not just because of creating the impression to people looking at police. I also think that if police see their tools as the tools of a soldier, they are more likely to act like soldiers.

I don't remember who said it, in relation to sports - "Look good, feel good, play good." I think how you look can absolutely affect how you behave.
Clearly there is market for these kinds of games, but I agree. At some point, it just makes sense to make a video game and just let a computer handle the display and fiddly bits. Plenty of games have crossed way past that that line.

On my own code I don't need debuggers, that is the scenario that Linus is talking about -- is Robert C. Martin a renowned programmer? :-)

For other people's Python code, especially if they mistakenly think that Python is Haskell, I do need a debugger. I've seen "scientific" Python code that is iterators all the way down and can only be understood by running the program.

Of course no actual science is being done with such programs, but that doesn't seem to matter.
The saving money and path toward more complex games are the main motivations for me, yup!
Neat. Check out his robot basketball backboards.
This is clearly a warning, among others, that the bad Microsoft is back.

Using certificates and app signing is OK as long as it is done properly, with as much clarity as possible, and an inexpensive way to get our apps signed.
I wasn't aware of that. I don't use it a lot but I assumed the same thing and that something like https://www.invidio.us/ would be necessary to make it usable
Great to know thanks!
How to Use uBlock Origin to Blacklist Videos on YouTube
Below you can find the code:

----

! youtube subscription blacklist

! youtube search + trending blacklist
youtube.com##div[class="style-scope ytd-video-renderer"]:has-text(/jake paul|logan paul/i)

----

The keywords are non case-sensitive thanks to "/.../i"
You need to separate each new keyword with "|"
If you add "|" before "/i" without writing anything (as in "|/i"), you will blacklist everything!

This code works with newest Youtube Layout as of 2020 June.

EFF: Don’t Mix Policing with Covid-19 Contact Tracing
Software testing only helps if you're an average user. Most of us here are guilty of doing stupid edge-case bullshit at least occasionally.

The well-known quip of "search for an answer to your problem, find a forum post from ten years ago resolved with an 'I figured it out, thanks'" only happens when you're far outside the idiomatic usage of the system.

Sometimes it's necessary; sometimes long-chosen buisness constraints force down the bad arm of an X-Y problem. But that doesn't make it any more likely that anyone other than you (especially the software vendor's QA dept.) will ever independently encounter your problem.
Where can I get one of these? Sick of involuntarily being included in the Talpiot Program.
The assertion is that a new organization should have been formed that owns the books and performs the lending, but has no access to the rest of the IA's assets. Then, in the event of a lawsuit, the only thing the publishers could seize would be the actual books.

As it is, the entire IA infrastructure could be torn apart overnight.
One game with a version of this mechanic is Fabled Fruit. It's a worker placement/ hand building game. There are 6-10 possible actions you can take each turn: the initial 6 are relatively simple but as the game goes on, old actions get discarded and new ones, often with more complex mechanics, take their place. You're encouraged to keep the game in the new more complex state the next time you play it.

Even the initial state is too complex for young children but it might suit what you're looking for if that's not actually a requirement - I don't think you'd really enjoy playing phase 1 of his Carcassonne adaptation either.
It's the new one that he doesn't "love". The one he just bought. Seven years after the previous one.
It doesn't matter. If the authors can't eat, they can't produce. You're still taking food from the author's mouth when you read an unauthorized copy. This hairsplitting baloney about whether the word "theft" applies is a distraction.

Thank you so much for the possibility. I grew up with scanners and am truly reminiscing while listening on these intercepts.

Here in Europe there is close to no police still using analog and listening to air traffic control or couriers just does not cut it for me.

There are a large number of companies that make the equipment for the fabs. For example, Applied Materials and LAM Research in the Bay Area also make a a wide variety of machines. ASML makes mainly the lithography equipment which turns out to be quite expensive. Its like each vendor provides some of the equipment in the kitchen and TSMC is the chef.

Back, how? I don't disagree with the gist of this article, but that SmartScreen window has looked like that for many, many years. It's not new, nothing is back. Microsoft was never fantastic.

The only thing that's new about this article is the bit about WinGet, which is so beta that it's hard to assume that its "SmartScreen means malware" behavior will remain like that.

I do agree with it btw, it's just like how Gmail's spam filters make it super hard to self host email. This is monopolistic behavior under the guise of protecting users, plain and simple.

When has legislation ever solved the underlying problem (uncontrolled violence in this case)?

Legislation almost always winds up being the softball nearby target that does something visible, not necessarily something useful.
