And I admire yours. I also agree with you the revised version of the statement above. :)

Friendly advice: if you want to engage in meaningful dialogue here avoid making absolutist (and lets' be honest, provably false) statements like "Obama did nothing" since you won't be taken seriously.

I think it's more like, if you assume that someone is Italian and then find out that they're Mexican, it's awkward that you made an incorrect assumption about their ethnicity despite the assumption being neutral in terms of judgment.
Use Wirecast instead. It works better.

OBS just isn’t for macOS users. If you record video with it it’ll be corrupted. The performance is bad. It’s for people who stream to Twitch on a Windows computer.

The real problem is that the macOS security model broke virtual cameras in the latest version of Zoom.
I'm a t-shirt and jeans person but I will never go to an in-person interview without a button-down shirt. If a company judges me negatively for wearing that then it's not a place I want to work.
True, but on the other hand it is unpleasant to have a problem, be fully aware of the problem, and have every passerby point it out to you as if you are a team of idiots who can't see the obvious.
Clearly, a product which has been discontinued has less of a chance of violating your privacy, that's true.... I think there are a couple different non-intersecting conversations going on here...
Very true. You should think that LAPD or NYPD should be good examples how liberal cities are running great police departments but that’s clearly not the case.

If it's a big project, it gets its own repo.

If it's a small project, it goes into my single big repo for all small projects.

For reference material (I accumulate tons of PDFs) it goes into OneDrive and I put a link to the file in my wiki. This wiki is stored inside the same repo I use for my small projects.

Notes go into the small project repo as well.
I personally think it is unlikely to work, and at best might have a marginal effect. That is mostly because most of these early results don't pan out, so that is a reasonably safe bet in any case. And as you said, a very strong effect would likely have been shown by now, with all the attention and the large number of people getting the drug.

I was trying to keep objective when writing that, there simply wasn't any really well-designed trial yet. Though from what I read just an hour ago or so there is a new trial that is said to be randomized and well-designed that hasn't found an effect, but I haven't looked beyond the headlines there yet.
One more argument why do we need more (and more) fuzzing on a regular basis.

Basically everything where we can pass some specially encoded date (read as format or protocol) can be made with bugs and edge cases not covered by test or by intent look (how to say it properly in English? :)

So yeah, fuzzing.

I reworded my comment. My point remains in that a lot of possible issues disappear if I just choose to destroy the entire directory. There is a clear difference between one Chrome instance (and all its associated windows/tabs) segmented into one profile directory and in-process segmentation. The issues at [1] seem to invoke unexpected behavior in that you're asking for a new temporary container but you can't know ahead of time if that's what you will get. I'm writing "seem" because it's not clear from the description how that interaction works. They could be better worded.

With segmentation enforced at instance boundary (rather than in-instance), there is no unexpected behavior of this sort. All links open in the segmented instance that the browser window/tab you're using belongs to. If you want a new container, you start a new instance and you know that's exactly what you will get. There is no possible "fail open" result. Note that I'm not saying the Firefox behavior you described is a major issue, just that it proves you can have unexpected scenarios.

Moreover, jedberg is correct in that cross-profile data leaking is possible (partly what I meant by "implementing profiles" properly), except that it's very easy to see if that's happening without auditing Chrome. Use a tool that records all filesystem operations (e.g. dtrace on macOS).

At the end of the day, I choose one set of trade-offs over another.

And you're free to not ask them to leave, also... which is what we're arguing Facebook should be.
>"The issue also illustrates how seemingly solid assumptions made by software and hardware engineers sometimes aren’t. Software engineers look at the currently available CPUs, see how the fastest ones behave, and assume that CPUs can’t get faster by a factor of 100 anytime soon."

Disagree. Where I've worked (Oculus/Facebook and EA) we would never allow such assumptions in code reviews, regardless of how unlikely the failure may be. You never allow div/0 unless it's mathematically provable to be impossible. I'm sure other orgs have the same code review policy, and static analysis these days would also catch it.
A nice ritual (at least pre-covid) for the times and places for healthy competition and sportsmanship is to shake hands before and after, to put parentheses around that competition.

It's totally legal to pay the cash price if it's lower. It's not against the law to have insurance and not use it.

But if you try to make a claim later, I've never heard of that working. They'd either require that you pay the difference towards the price with insurance first, reject it entirely for not following in-network procedures (most likely), or else reimburse you according to out-of-network rates, which will be far lower. I can't imagine any scenario where you'd save money in the end.

If you haven't reached your deductible and don't think you'll reach it, then it can make sense to pay in cash and just not report it to your insurance company at all. That's fine (though it doesn't count toward your deductible of course).

But also note it's not a universal that insurance prices are higher than cash. At every doctor and dentist I've ever seen in New York City, insurance prices have always been lower than not having insurance. I ask every time, since I have a HDHP. One of the benefits of health insurance is often precisely that they negotiate lower rates with doctors, because (in theory) they bring in more patients to make up for it.

Of course, if you're paying cash the doctor can give you a discount if they choose to, if you tell a sob story... which I've never heard of happening with insurance.
>I don't think it does much to contradict the parent comments remark about Democrats being slightly better Republicans.

I understand an opinion that the parties are very similar on important issues.

However, the parent also said "when [obama] was running things he basically did nothing to improve the situation although the issues with police were well known."

It is up to an individual to decide if Holder's directive on civil seizure amounted to "basically nothing." The fact is an attempt was made. I know of the above, because I was paying attention at the time.

It is also worth mentioning Obama ordered the phasing out of private contractors to run federal prisons. This was also overturned by Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration[0]

I have been somewhat disillusioned in retrospect by the actual change Obama was able to accomplish, given just how good his image is broadly as a President. I have very particular concerns unrelated to LE I won't address here.

However, it is important that people know that Obama at least spoke about his concerns with the criminal justice system and that his administration did in fact do stuff in attempt to accomplish reform.

As a more material evidence of contrast between the Democratic and Republican parties regarding criminal justice, I point to a Harvard Law Review article by Barack Obama written in January of 2017, titled "The President's Role in Advancing Criminal Justice Reform."[2]

This essay is made up of four parts:

I. The Urgent Need for Reform

II. Reforming the Federal Criminal Justice System

III. Tools and Actions to Drive State and Local Reforms

IV. Work Unfinished

The article features citings throughout and is demonstration of the level of thought Obama had put into reform, and what he was willing to put on the record regarding his intent and where he came up short.

Six months after this essay was published, Donald Trump, President of the United States and leader of the Republican Party told police not to worry about injuring suspects during arrests. [3]

I can understand frustration with the pace of police, (or more broadly criminal justice,) reform under Obama's eight year term. However, there is obvious, enormous difference between these very influential leaders of these parties.

For me, it is not about my team or their team it is about the actual communications and actions (small or large) made by leadership of these teams. I am impatient for change yet recognize on big issues change is often gradual. (such as decriminalization and legalization of marijuana)

In the absence of successful attempts to disrupt the entire system and failure of reform candidates to break through on the democratic side. It is very important to know that there is a difference between these parties.

How don't H1B workers provide diversity? These are people from across the world who generally have such different backgrounds and experiences from a group of native-born Americans.

I assume he's talking about diversity of skin color, which seems so shallow to me it's hardly worthy of a response.

Not to mention - is there a university out there that isn't actively trying to recruit skin color diversity? Is there a large company that isn't trying the same?
> Low tax dividends and capital gains benifit individuals without active participation in the value creation.

Presumably, actively working (like with a job) to generate wealth to invest in other enterprises is 'active participation in the value creation'. I mean, sure, if you want to introduce steep capital gains on invested capital that was inherited, or won, or whatever, that's fine.
I tried to switch back to Windows numerous times, each time I hated that I can't just spawn a terminal window and do things on CLI. It is not impossible, but it doesn't feel right for me. Maybe if I were more acquainted with .NET libraries and powershell, I could achieve similar proficiency.

I feel like I am being suffocated when I'm using windows for development. My current solution is to keep a windows laptop for browsing/light gaming/travel, keep a Linux desktop for programming.

But we probably feel this way because we know Linux and many things are incorporated in our muscle memory. If we spent nearly equal time on Windows, it could be hard to switch back.
I liked this article. One notable point that felt like it was missing in the article is that the Prime Number Theorem, that the count of primes grow like (n / ln n) was provided such a map by Riemann in the letter in which he put forward his infamous eponymous hypothesis. That letter introduced the idea of using analysis to the Prime Number Theorem, extending the groundbreaking work of Riemann's friend Dirichlet who introduced the world to analytic number theory in Dirichlet's Theorem on the infinitude of primes in arithmetic progressions. It would take nearly half a century for mathematicians to digest the application of Fourier Analysis put forward by Riemann, and the proof of the Prime Number Theorem came only in the early 1900's. By then the analytic machinery would have been more commonly taught -- probably largely due to the advent of electrical engineering.

Erdos and Selberg eventually put out fully arithmetic proofs of the Prime Number Theorem. And generally the helicopter analogy from the article probably doesn't apply so well to mathematics because you can probably always reduce theories and encapsulate all the dependent proofs to arithmetic first principles, but of course you already have the map.

Recently the proofs of the Sensitivity Conjecture by Hao Huang and of the Bounded Gaps Between Primes by Yitang Zhang surprised mathematicians in how little new machinery these seemingly intractable problems required -- in the case of Zhang application of "hard work" on top of GPY and Hao Huang, a single clever insight.

At the end it says:

> Garett Jones (2013) builds upon Kremer's O-ring theory [...] He then goes on to show that small international variations in average worker skill per country result in both large international and small intra-national income inequality.

This sums up the situation to me. The value of the skilled worker depends on the value (and desired quality) of what is being produced with co-workers. So in theory if you could build up a distributed team of these skilled lower-salaried workers, have them work well remotely with each other, have a high sense of quality and share other relevant cultural norms, then high-quality/value products could be produced for such a market demand.

Huh, right.. so this makes it all even more confusing.

Are they saying that WHEN they implement true e2e encryption, it will only be for paid accounts?

Or are they saying the encryption they've already got, which they are inaccurately calling "e2e" when it is not, was formerly enabled for free accounts, but no longer will be?

Or something else?

(Who would have thunk that lying and calling something "e2e" that wasn't would end up confusing!)

I also still don't understand if you get the encryption (whichever one they are disabling for free accounts) if the 'host' is a paid account but some/all of guests are not...

Well, I can say that about anything. Oh... the rate of return on capital is higher than the rate of return on labor? Well that's only true of the past, no study has studied the concrete data of what is going to happen in the future (Hint: it's because there is none).
It is out of control.

I actually think between the HAL layer, OEMs, chipsets and 3P ecosystem it is very difficult to dig out of the hole that Android has built. Too much was put into short term thinking on annual releases and gap closing with Apple. While Apple planned APIs years out for end to end products, Android had to blindly copy APIs and everything is far less elegant. Android isn't working. It isn't capturing the smartwatch ecosystem well (Fitbit) and it isn't capturing the TV ecosystem well (Roku).

The net impact is harmful to developers. We don't get the reach and compatibility we were promised. We have very fragmented ecosystem to develop for. We have specific device SDKs we have to use to tap into novel hardware. I can't complain enough.

Android had a huge opportunity to define the next evolution of compute platforms on top of the linux kernel and it has kind of blown it.

I think there are even signs Google leadership sees this and is investing in a portfolio of strategies such as CameraX, Pixel, Flutter/Fuschia.

With the Huawei situation too, I think the general health of the Android ecosystem is some of the worst it has been. Globally I think we are going to see even more fragmentation.

We need something that ties this all together. It's not going to be a full blown OS layer, but something to manage the madness for 3P devs.
My dad isn't into sports at all. He lives in a very sports-focused city, much more so than where he spent most of his life, so I told him my little sports trick.

Sports fan: "Did you see the blank game?"

99% of the time people will fill in whoever the star player is and talk about how good they are doing or say no they were doing well but they haven't been recent.

I didn't care much about sports when I moved to Chicago, which cares a lot about sports, but now I have some knowledge about all the teams and friendships with a lot of sports fans I wouldn't otherwise know well. Go Bulls.

I hadn't heard of the Perlis quote, so I had to look it up. Source of the Perlis quote:

"It isn’t going to do us a bit of good to throw before them [those for whom FORTRAN is mother's milk] an APL one-liner that will do as well as 50 lines of FORTRAN. First of all, it will take the people a long time to learn how to use the one-liner and even more to write one, so that FORTRAN will continue to grow and succeed. And I don’t think APL will usurp its position; there’s no reason why it should. And it certainly shouldn’t be a goal of people who use APL to stand forth and say, “Why do you jackasses use these inferior linguistic vehicles when we have something here that’s so precious, so elegant, which gives me so much pleasure? How can you be so blind and so foolish?” That debate you’ll never win, and I don’t think you ought to try."

https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/perlis78.htm

Yes, folks, Alan Perlis is talking about APL, Greek letters and all.

Another quote from that:

"As a professor, one of the things I’m interested in doing is teaching people how to program; but it’s more than teaching them how to program, because to teach people how to program, any programming language is sufficient. The idea that only one language or any particular language is critical to learning what it means to program is false. If that is your goal, to teach people how to build programs, BASIC is perfectly satisfactory. There are some things you can’t do in it; therefore, you invent constructions for doing them; and the invention of these constructions is learning to program. Sooner or later, in all languages, we have to go to constructions which we build laboriously and arduously out of the components of the language. And we curse the fact that the language doesn’t have them already. But they are not all there now, and they never will be there. The word that I associate with programming — and I’m sure everybody associates with programming — is: “frustration”. Everything is possible, and nothing is easy. We sit down to write a program, and our initial, beautiful thoughts soon get bogged down in the slime of unavailable constructions. And we write procedures, or functions, or what-have-you, and more functions; we invent data structures, and more data structures; and the programs which start out so nice and elegant soon become mired down and have no structure. We find it difficult to describe to anyone else what they do. And we say, “If I programmed differently, if I used, for example, ‘structured programming’ this wouldn’t happen … if I had arrays of arrays this wouldn’t happen … if I had a while-statement this wouldn’t happen …” Nonsense. If it doesn’t happen today, it will happen tomorrow, even with all those things there. Because programming, by its very nature, is a kind of bootstrapping activity. What Iverson and God give you today, you’ll find insufficient tomorrow."

I love Alan Perlis.
I feel like taking from the poor and giving to cronies is a thing that also happened under communism (and a good chunk of contemporary 'socialist' states, and to a less horrifying extent, gas and water socialisms like Western Europe). This is a generally predictable outcome of state-led socialism, as predicted long before actual implementation of state socialism, by early socialists like Benjamin Tucker and others like Bastiat in the mid 19th century.
Would it have been possible for Microsoft to test for something like this, or would it be possible today? For example, is it feasible to slow down time to simulate an impossibly-fast CPU?
