Sounds as if you could also say that all photos people ever take, should be accessible to the government and police, to protect the children. And things people say in their homes, need to be accessible to the police, to maybe rescue kidnapped children.

I heard about someone working as a nurse, in an emergency room, and because of witnessing injuries from traffic accidents, she decide to never be in a car again. I can understand that, I think that decision makes sense.

But not handing over people's communication to people like Trump and Putin etc and their men.
Not sure exactly what you're looking for, hosting vs guest, but start by calling by phone in whenever possible.

I'm kind of blown away by how quickly people started using Zoom and how they still choose to totally ignore security/privacy issues.
These gatherings have become a precursor to violence and looting. It has gotten to the point that forced dispersion before they get to that point is the greater good.
I'll be interesting if the gadgetness continues once the cost to build an EV drops below a basic gasoline powered car.

My commute is 8 miles of which 6 is on a freeway. Doesn't feel like a burden. Unlike say a tech bro doing his 50 mile commute down 101. So I'm dubious an autopilot would be a big win from me.
They should because it would be the right thing to do... and Firefox is more popular then the Tor browser, so it would help spread Tor adoption... a lot of people don't understand the benefits of hiding your IP... so they aren't going to download the Tor browser
> The problem: Supply is high, visibility is skewed.

Actually, the problem is supply exists where there is insufficient demand.

Create the things consumers want to consume.

Maybe there's lack of visibility into what consumers are demanding. If platforms like Gumroad published a zeitgeist of search terms that consumers are looking for on their platform that aren't resulting in sales, this would be the useful information that producers could tap into to drive their product decisions to align their efforts to create supply that consumers demand.
While I share your skepticism of the suit, I think that that line may be seen as misleading. Google Analytics is NOT a website I visit, in general. Still, despite the Incognito mode, GA may well track me across the internet.

Personally, I always took Incognito/In-Private browsing to be just a "delete cookies and history on exit" mode. But the way it is presented may suggest to many people that it is significantly more than that, even with the disclaimers in Chrome. I would not hold my breath for a successful suit based on that, though.
Excuse for...?
Facebook is a cheap replica of the internet. It already lost the young crowd, the middle crowd and the old crowd. It's non-us people that make up the majority of the platform now. It would have been a cemetery if Instagram and WhatsApp were not sold by the founders.
If the same thing happened in X trying to render an i3 background, for example, the way you'd recover is starting a new session - which you've proactively setup to not launch X automatically - and inspecting logs and configs to see what went wrong.

It's basically the same thing here, but without some physical keys bound to 'switch to new session'. And maybe you can do that over adb anyway, which is about as (not) normal user friendly.
Dockerfile Boilerplates for All
Tested and ready to use docker boilerplates / templates for most common progamming languages. Like a Hello World! but for docker images.
I mean, I don't get this argument at all, I have several photos taken with my phone printed on A3 format and hanging around my house, I don't see any issue with them that would show they were taken on a phone. In comparison I have a few pictures printed out, taken with an old W1 Sony camera and they are awful, would take pictures from my phone over those any time.

Here's my latest printed picture:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6P5ZbNjQ5FD9nkzdB_TnfsA4li...

And the actual source image:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iVenWHP4TesmhTWAY2qMDQs21u3...

Having said all of this - I find it incredibly rare for people to print photos at all, which is pretty sad in itself. I get not needing albums, but having pictures to hang on the walls is always nice.
>"If mining operations migrate to more diverse locations in the future and become less concentrated on a single power source, this cycle will cease to play such a significant role."

Why should that happen? After the initial very diverse mining, it only ever got more concentrated to places with cheap energy. The place my change but there will always be an optimum place.
SV censorship: Snapchat will no longer promote Trump's account in Discover
PRüfer Sequence
So after 6 years at his position, Holder put restrictions on a certain type of civil asset forfeiture that was (according to the article you linked to) "a small total of assets seized by federal authorities, so the overall impact on forfeiture practices was relatively muted." It's not nothing, but I don't think it does much to contradict the parent comments remark about Democrats being slightly better Republicans.

I think one of the big problems with these systemic problems is that the partisan nature of American politics makes most people blind to the failures of "their team." Any failure is handwaved away, excuses are made, and nothing gets done. The only answer seems to be "vote for my team," even after decades of doing that have failed to make the changes that people want.
Every time there's a new programming language which claims to be "safer" than existing ones, I look at what they do differently. In some cases, they've come up with a new way to restrict computation so that undefined/error cases aren't possible. In many cases, though, their solution is more along the lines of "don't do that", often with syntax that discourages (but doesn't forbid) it.

The trouble is that it's really easy to say "access the 10th position in a 5-element array". It's possible to make a programming language that doesn't allow you to say this, but it either makes it really awkward to do anything with arrays, or simply pushes the error somewhere else -- or both.

It is the 90% rule - when you really look at the quality of most works, 90% of the people won't notice differences in quality between "good enough" vs. "excellent". And 90% of the people who do notice do not care.

Professional photographers, and people who truly are into photography, are the 1% that do care. 1% isn't trivial - that is still more than 3 million people in the USA alone, for example. But when looking at overall consumer habits, the 99% eclipse them.
It seems that all the forms of collective control you listed are perfectly legal. If the majority of workers prefer workplaces like that then those places will thrive.

What you are implying though, is that the government forces all workplaces to conform to your desired control scheme. So fuller democracy equals government limiting choice, as long as it is your desired choice.
To the extent that it is a systemic problem in Minneapolis, self-investigation would be compromised. Could Ferguson have investigated itself? Sure, and it did. Unsurprisingly, that investigation by the system that the federal investigations found deeply and thoroughly broken somehow missed the problems with the same system that the federal investigation found.

But, yes, and the State of Minnesota could also investigate.
HSBC has a United States banking license, employs tens of thousands of Americans (in America) and is traded on the New York Stock exchange. Thus it (a) has to abide by US finance laws and (b) is afforded some US protections.

If having ones head office overseas would provide immunity from US laws it wouldn't be a very effective system would it? :-)

>Huawei did not lie to the US government

That remains to be seen (as I understand it - maybe you have evidence to the contrary?), but I can't imagine how they would export so much equipment without doing so.

>This simply seems to me like the US trying to impose it's power over foreign transactions.

I agree to an extent. But since everyone (especially banks) need to do business in the United States it's unavoidable.
Replying to your update: the reason you write out the invariants is then it becomes perfectly obvious in code review that the method only works for certain images and isn't protected against being called with unusable images, at which point the review can say "don't land this".

Truth in advertising. If this had been named "getHistogramOfSRGBBitmapElseOOBE" nobody would have stamped it because that's obviously dumb.
> Multiple prominent journalists came out saying this like: "if you take HCQ, you will die."

Any good journalist said "might". A dangerous drug is one that might be bad.

Even if the drug has zero positive effect for Covid and only the known side effects of HCQ, it's a bad drug.

A non-expert pushing it as a cure or even a potential cure is dangerous because it risks hoarding, shortages.

Basically: no one really cares whether the drug works or not. I don't care whether journalists did a bad job, or whether there was a terrible fraudulent article from some scientists or a company.

I very much do care whether politicians are doing their job and not acting like experts, however.
> police officers organizations, as a rule, strongly defend officers involved (demonstrably so, not merely accused) in corrupt and abusive acts

Got a source? I've worked with/dated/am related to quite a few LEOs in various parts of the country. This has never been true in my experiences. That's hardly a "rule".
It's a real cop-out to say his hands were tied.

For some reason CGP Grey's video called The Rules for Rulers was recommended to me recently by The Algorithm. It sort of clarified in my mind all the vague ideas I'd absorbed from countless online and in-person conversations. Basically, even a dictator has to have the support of the keys to power. We can speculate that a president's hands were tied by one of those key groups. We can also speculate that another president has different key groups, and might be more willing, with the consent of core key groups, to reduce their numbers in ways not previously/recently considered an option.
Again? I love Germany, but I honestly can't tell whether this is an old news brought back to life, or whether it's a new story at a glance. Deja vu anyone?
Police accountability, inequality, corporate welfare, domestic surveillance, ... the list goes on.
That is happening.
This is not a concept, but an observation. What you're talking about already exists. It's the capitalist cooperative, where people voluntarily come together to pool capital in order to build some company that produces things or services that are of benefit to the collective owners and/or their customers.

However, while the price of membership in such a unit decreases with every new participant, the ownership is also diminished with each new owner, until effective control over the unit or process becomes very difficult. This will inevitably lead to frustration and feelings of powerlessness as needed change is slowed more and more.

As the saying goes, more votes, does not necessarily mean more democracy. It simply means that it becomes harder to get anything done. Meanwhile, bureacracies grow and rule uninterrupted under such conditions, since a vote every fourth year, and the meddling of one or two representatives, can only ever make small and incremental changes, instead of giving the organization the far-reaching and overarching reorganization that it actually needs in order to become fair and effective again; a thing that is usually contested and opposed by those making up the bureacracy of that organization in the first place.
>... end-to-end encrypted...

How do you verify that you are connected to the person you think you are connected to?
No, I more meant that it's a huge hassle. For example, with the phone you can't compose very well because you have to wait for each frame to expose before you can make a correction. With the SLR viewfinder, you can just look and see what's going on. Then you have the issue of not being able to capture a specific area using a narrower lens (if your subject requires it), and just the experience is going to not be great.
One of the most important points (from the acquirer's point of view) is retention.

Most aquihires I know lead to an increase in salary and a retention bonus (a pool was set as part of the aquihire negotiations).

Since payout is tied to % employees who stay on for X years, both sides care deeply to keep them on board
Being famous and rich is not what got Trump in and the factors that got him in would be somewhat different for a liberal. And in the general factors that matter for a president, Zuck has about 0 of the ones that matter (charisma, likeability, relatability, toughness, outspokenness, bluster, comedy, incisiveness, a relatable or admirable background, etc).

He’s a privileged rich white kid on the spectrum, I give less-than-Bloomberg chances (same charisma, less experience and relatability).
There's plenty of innovation on the hardware side - the move to mirrorless cameras has been the largest jump since digital became a thing (although most pros a sticking with DSLRs for now). Sensors are continually improved, and lenses are better every year.

The software side...not so much. The amount of customization in cameras isn't up to par. For instance, Nikon DSLRs have an image quality button. That's a button that I never want to hit, as it can change the quality from RAW to 'Basic JPEG.' The only way you'll notice that happened is if you see the amount of images you can fit on your card jump up. There's no way to disable it, and on the D750/D610 it's right next to the damned primary ISO button, and they even swapped places between those two cameras.

Fuji has some good film emulation postprocessing for their jpegs. I will say though that a lot of the postprocessing that's done on cell phones is to make up for their limited capabilities. I actually have everything turned off on my DSLRs, as the postprocessing effects the jpeg that's built in to the RAW file. That means what you see on the back on the camera isn't necessarily what you took.
Statements and actions are two very different things, and as far as I can tell the rioters have the support of both corporations and the state, as absolutely nothing has been done to deal with the unrest.

That is, unless you start to cause trouble in the wrong neighborhood, then the police will absolutely take care of it: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/nypd-...

I'm not sure why people are eating up the media lie idea that the government is some fascist entity supporting corporations, because the government's actions show that the rioters, politicians, corporations, and government (state and federal) are all on the same side.

Revolutionaries that signal on the same lines as Sony, Target, Walmart, Google, the state governments, and the federal government... It's honestly laughable how well this is orchestrated and how incredibly naive or stupid the people are that are eating it up for social brownie points.

The only people not being represented by anyone are the small business owners who don't wan't their homes and businesses eviscerated, and normal citizens who keep their heads down.
Passion can cut more than one way. It’s quite possible that the poster you replied to is, as you said, super passionate and is turned off by Take Two’s hardball tactics to the point that they don’t purchase the game when it’s released.
You know people can complain about the way they are treated without needing to come up with a solution, right? Your comment is akin to defending a bully whise response to their victim's pleas to stop bullying them is "make me". Besides, there are a variety of actions and reforms the protesters call for, and just because they may differ, or arent being actively chanted in the streets, doesn't mean they aren't being made. At the very least, I'm sure everyone protesting would agree that they want to see real consequences for uncalled-for police violence going forward, instead of the current system which has failed in this regard. You may disagree with that solution but to argue it isn't being proposed at all is just wrong. If you haven't seen the proposals people are making, you aren't paying attention.
That's pretty cool ... I'm left wondering what a visualization of the state accumulated by visiting different websites would look like, e.g. google, twitter, nytimes, etc.
Thanks! The tech in the link is awesome...might be above our pay grade.
At this scale, collaboration would probably slow things down more than it helps. Finding a consensus among so many parties is hard. Building separate solutions first and then unifying them later might be better.
Another commenter agrees with you, writing:

> it soft-bricked their phones (ie. they had to factory reset their device)

But the whole point of coming up with the word "brick" was to describe the set of scenarios where even things like factory reset won't work. This is "literally" all over again.
`~` contains these dirs: `inbox, lib, code, proj, org, .archive, .sync`

Things arrive in inbox, and get sorted into lib or code. Org contains notes. Files are symlinked from lib/code/org into proj &/or .sync.

Lib folder structure is kinda similar to how 4chan is broken down, plus an irl folder for important shiz.

PDFs have reasonably descriptive titles or at least the DOI. I recommend ripgrep-all for document search.

Tried library systems like Dewey and they're a good way to hide your files from yourself. Single folder plus search tools and non-terrible titles (terrible titles are deemed acceptable only in the inbox), then symlinking out into project folders makes more sense to me.

The code folder also has a `gh` folder for GitHub projects I'm checking out.

It's all about lenses, specifically the ability to vary them to achieve a wide variety of looks.

If you see those great professional movies that are "shot on iPhone" or "shot on iPad", if you could see their shoot, many of them have a selection of after-market lenses they are mounting on the phone or tablet for different shots.

Thanks for your comment. I need to think about your other points, but what if we changed "data" to "behavioral data?"
I think the evidence disagrees. I mean I get the on the face justifications, which in Aspen Institute type circles revolves around the fall of the nation state as the threat actor and the move towards a reality where a single non-state actor can be a viable threat, but thats just the surface level justification that makes it palatable to the average person and policy maker.

I think we just have to look at the history of surveillance not just since 9/11 to understand this. Forest and trees and all that.

No conspiracy is necessary. There is a mass emotional desire to contradict anything Trump says. Agreeing with something Trump says has become very taboo, particularly in academic social circles.

...and I think it's possible that's what we see here. An emotional decision to publish, and then no one wanted to contradict because no one wanted to be viewed as a Trump sympathizer.
This looks really good.

Is it possible to mark yourself as away? I could see it might encourage the expectation to always be present on the receiving end.

You’re not limited to grocery stores.

The fundamental problem is that there’s less demand for unskilled US labor than there are unskilled US laborers looking for work. Fix that, and most of the issues people are worried about go away.

That likely has to be solved at the federal or international government level.
If you have the tech to fuse hydrogen the amount of fuel you would need for a nearly unlimited amount of energy is tiny, you would save very little by harvesting it off a comet/asteroid.
It is much more lucrative to make the version for Americans. The other country ends up with whatever's cheapest to make, which is more likely to be a localization than a parallel effort (the better cultural fit for an independent product would not be worth the cost).

There's a handshake before you accept a connection to anyone. Each peer generates a keypair and sends the public key to our servers (which they're authed with). On connection, peers receive the public key from the Squawk servers, and perform a handshake to verify their identity. This all happens p2p.

It’s sad to see elite American economists fumbling around with productivity and employment issues that Swedish economists like Wigforss, Karleby, Sandler, and the Myrdahls had worked out in the 1930s and 1940s.
It's a petty game that both sides are engaging in, but one side is a singular person who is currently the "Leader of the free world". It's bizarre to me that people shrug off his behavior as if it's ok for him to be so petty and childish while wielding such immense power.
"Can't believe someone is saying this right now."

Yeah, this is definitely the endgame of "both sides" equivocating at all levels— all media is equally unreliable, all politicians are equally corrupt, all people are treated equally by police, Obama's EOs were just as bad as Trump's. It's super harmful to the state of discourse when people are unable to see the shades of grey on these things.
Trump is the only president, as far as i know, that has made comments about wanting to fuck his own daughter. It makes him unfit for most jobs, let alone the presidency.
His life has been under a microscope. If there was a smoking gun to be found, it would have been found. Nobody's opsec is that good, especially with number of people involved in the kind of conspiracy you describe.
