maybe you can start a business to provide this kind of undercover intelligence to VCs, e.g. you get paid a monthly retainer by some prospective investors to work undercover at a sequence of maybe-joking-startups and write dispatches reporting on what you see really going on.
The reviews are not coming from peers. The are exclusively coming from a niche section of the population: urban, young, affluent and left leaning. Not that this it would be OK even if it was a "diverse" gang of censors.

I've seen many people do a slightly wrong thing once and throw their bodies out of whack for days or weeks, if not longer, when weights are involved. With cardio, you can pretty much do what you want with cycling without too much risk of injury (aside from falling or collisions) so long as you don't overdo it. But with cardio in general (running, swimming, cycling), people often get too excited and start off wrong, or have wrong form in running, and either injure themselves or exhaust themselves and drop out.

No matter what the exercise is, ease in, find a trainer (you don't need one for long depending on what you're doing), and be smart.
Yup, the output of df became so cluttered that it became useless. So I created this alias:

I think the "transparently shifting the processor between its real and protected modes on the fly" part was referring to how a DOS extender had to switch modes, and copy stuff between low and high memory, when calling out to DOS (e.g. INT 21h). It was basically like the switch between user mode and kernel mode in an OS today, except that ironically in this case, it was the "kernel" that was limited in its access to memory.
So you blame the stupidity of your parents and others who believe idiotic conspiracy theories on platforms not banning things? How about we expect people to be minimally educated (because that is all it takes to figure out the difference) and have critical thinking so they can decide? Some of the things the CDC and WHO have put out should have been banned by this logic. Now we're supposed to trust Jeff Bezos and his crew to be the arbiters of truth? That's beyond absurd.
I don't believe that anyone is absolved of responsibility for their platform simply because the platform is "performing as designed", which is to say, with minimal moderation and policing of "self-managed" communities. It's hypocritical to hide behind the algorithm, the product, or the source code that allows extremist groups recruit when you're the one that built the product, and you're the one actively choosing to pursue market power at the expense of social good.
Are there any algorithms that are not squares or include line art?

Low certainty * "large reduction in risk of infection" doesn't equal masks being marginal though, does it? (Not rhetorical, I'm an amateur at statistics) That means they need more data, but if an effect exists, it is large?

And I feel like we can reason about this to some extent from first principles - If the virus is spread through particles from faces, then face coverings will decrease the numbers of particles from faces that 1) get into the air and 2) get into peoples' faces, no matter how crappy the face coverings are. It seems more plausible to me that the problem is lack of data rather than incorrect conclusion, which seems like a reasonable interpretation of this particular study?

I do not care what the children's book store owner decides to publish. But Amazon is a near monopoly. Different rules apply.
This appears to be an unpopular opinion, but I like snaps and Canonical's philosophy in some ways mimics that of Apple's where they care about usability over configurability.

Snaps have been my preferred method of installation for a few years now. I really like how I know where the files are being installed to and if I uninstall the software it will be removed cleanly. I also like how for most software snaps contain the latest release of the software which has not been my experience with distro specific apt repos. I can even install beta, nightly or previous releases very easily using snap store channels. I've never experienced any package manager on any OS that has made it this easy.

I've also developed about a half dozen snaps, some of them were open source contributions to existing software, others were my closed-source projects and one was some contract work for a third party who wanted to snap their existing software for easier distribution. And although there were some pain points, I found the process and YAML based manifest file to be far better than most tools.

My only gripe with snaps at this time is that there is no system like PPAs so if you want to use snaps for your privately distributed app then you need to do it through Canonical and more advanced control features will cost you extra.
>There are keys to control when these snap updates will happen

There is no option to permanently disable auto-updates which is the problem being discussed.

If I install a docker image with version A and it auto-updates tomorrow to version B then the docker container is no longer reproducible.
What is different now compared to before? Fares have increased faster than inflation, trains are overcrowded, the seats are a lot more cramped, just as worn and dirty, no faster than before and the sandwiches are still as bad as the ones you get in petrol stations.
> You trusted the app developers as soon as you installed that app on your computer with full privileges.

No, I don't.

First, most apps' code won't run as root. Only install scripts, written my distribution's maintainers, run as root (except for core applications, of course).

And secondly, I trust app developers to write their app properly (to a certain extent), but not to write install scripts that won't mess with my system, because it's outside their domain of expertise.
Selenium has standalone images with the browser so that you can use them with Docker.

While police where protecting his house a police station went up in flames. I don’t care who you are, you can see there is wrong on all sides of the picture here.
Why so many cops protecting the accused? Why no cops protecting their own station? Why no national guard IMMEDIATELY when it’s obvious the police have zero handle on the situation?

Because the leadership at any level could not address this so we are obviously left to destructive behavior on all sides. But that conversation doesn’t attract eyeballs.

It's not just about racism, it's the concept of anonymity being eroded so people tacitly know not to ask what could very well be a legitimate question. Haven't you heard that phrase "no dumb questions" as you were growing and being encouraged to learn. That's being taken away, and besides, you've already written off what they said as overtly racist. What if it's a question? What if it's a place they want to get into as part of the debate and broader framing of the question. Did you read the article? Were those questions overtly racist?
You're never forced to update. I'm don't even think Arch natively supports automatic updates. You can also tell pacman to skip a package from being updated if you're aware of a problematic update but you want to update the rest of your system.

And yes, Arch takes in the upstream vanilla packages, though there are testing phases before updates reach stable repos. I'm not sure any of this is a bad thing. It also means you don't have to wait 6-12 months for the newest version.

Is it? So Netflix is going to install a massive rack of storage in every cell tower, with expensive power and cooling and risk of vandalism and theft? Even if you cached the enterity of netflix, it's still only 10% of Internet traffic.

Backhaul is becoming less and less of a problem as more and more sites get fibre backhaul. Point to point links can easily do 10gig/sec now even if they don't have fibre (to another tower with fibre). That is almost certainly as much if not more than the total capacity of most cell towers even with a stupendous amount of spectrum allocated.
That might be the case of what's trending in the US on Twitter or in the media, but that's hardly a representative sample of the actual population.

FWIW I switched from Ubuntu to Arch recently and to me the setup was a breeze. Just follow the instructions. I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.
>..if there is any risk of damaging the sensor I will not be taking it. YMMV.

curious.

what would it take for you to be convinced it does no harm? Just a psychological curiosity -- not trying to annoy you.

The opinions seem fairly stacked, and the corporations seem to be fairly non-chalantly enabling video/high-volume sampling on these sensors.

The only person in your linked SO thread said "it might wear out the sensor because it wasn't designed for that amount of sampling", so one google's 'Can you wear out a CMOS image sensor from over-use?', and get linked to another SO thread where it's more-or-less concluded that the CMOS sensor doesn't wear practically.[0]

I can understand the 'calculated risk' mentality, but honestly it seems like physical jostling from unpacking the equipment from its' case or exposure to a mid-high level humidity environment, stuff that's done every day by photographers around the world, would be many times more damaging to the investment that just running the solid-state components more often.

Not many DSLR appliance failures are from solid-state device failures.

That conclusion is based on the premise that their software would have been priced the same if they hadn't bundled in "free" software. Not sure we have enough data to make that conclusion.

Ultimately you were charged for the "free" bundled software, you just couldn't get a line item break down of how of the bundle price was made up by that "free" software.

Not saying that Microsoft should break down their OS prices by bundled software, or that it makes sense. But without that breakdown you can't make the assertion that "They never pushed up costs".
not that it's really an argument for or against but if you try to tell cops that they can't carry guns, they'll all just carry their own personal guns.

While I'm not an advocate of piles of diatribes, I think Amazon's ability and desire to censor is a topic still worthy of discussion. If Amazon is in the habit of censoring things it doesn't like unless it gets a lot of bad PR about it, that's a problem.
I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and asked about this, since I'm not overweight. The doctor said it's more about the structure of the mouth and throat than obesity. There is an area at the back of the tongue that gathers more fat and can block the throat, but palette structure is a big factor. Along with jaw size and throat size.

I remember reading not too long ago on HN an article about our dental health in modern times: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-we-have-so-ma...

It could be our diet contributing to smaller jaws/palettes that increase the prevalence sleep apnea?
The increasing trend of large tech conglomerates to use one money printing product like AWS or search or the Apple Store to tactically snipe competitors to destroy or acquire them is absolutely abysmal in the long run

It doesn't matter what you think..The only thing that matters is whether they have the legal authority and can show the consumers are harmed.

Amazon selling their in-house brand based on their private sales data could meet that threshold. Amazon making money on AWS, OTOH, will probably not meet that threshold.

Covid-19 is leading to desperately unequal learning levels
My number one complaint about Snaps is that they're not portable (despite being labelled "universal packages for Linux"): they start to work less well outside of Ubuntu, and they don't work at all unless you're running systemd. I find this slightly ridiculous given that Flatpaks really do work more universally - they don't require systemd - and they come out of Red Hat - the home of systemd.
Is there a reason the course uses Java and not Kotlin for developing a app?
If you use LXD, then LXD is provided as a snap.
Snap is currently the only packaging for LXD in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I think the Ubuntu 20.04 runtime should be better than Ubuntu 18.04. More fixes, new features and updated versions of packages.
Mint. It's Ubuntu without the nonsense. I switched when the Unity thing happened, and haven't looked back. This news about snaps reaffirms my confidence in Mint.

From reading the other comments, people just don't like having security updates done automatically - they'd like to have more control when they are performed.

Kind of like in Windows, where your computer suddenly shuts down to apply a service pack while you were in the middle of an important World of Warcraft raid that you were planning for weeks.

There's always a trade-off between keeping your system secure and being available. Most people don't like to trade off availability, and it makes sense.
You have to remember the US military is projecting power across the globe. What the paper is likely referring to is regional scenarios. Regions take time to reinforce, and other theatres may be active at the same time, while having their own requirements in terms of force projection/deterrent.

To say that military Y has a mere x% of our budget and therefore we should win is a gross oversimplification of the complexity.

It's an LTS, upgrading every two years. No different than many other distros. If you want a more frequently-upgraded distro, consider OpenSuSE Leap (yearly upgrades) or Fedora (upgrades every 6 months).
That's not true at all! We have little idea how or why it influences us outside of the basics (sell ads, make money).

People are looking at these feeds, often daily, for a significant amount of time. We don't know if it's intentionally showing us more of our racist uncle's posts because we buy things when we're angry, for example... and that's just one small example in a vast sea.

We can't adapt because there are far too many unseen factors to be aware of. And I'll say it again... most people do not understand that every post on these networks is being fed through a biased algorithm. I've seen large numbers of developers on this site agree that Facebook should remain neutral when it comes to certain ads/posts, without acknowledging that neutrality has been gone from every post on Facebook for years and years at this point.

They know who you are, where you are, who you're with, and what you do. Data that spans billions of people. For people with Facebook on their phones they can essentially track your behavior 24/7 and have been doing so for years. This type of unseen influence could be dangerous even in benevolent hands.

I have not adapted because I don't know what to adapt to. I've just removed myself from the environment as completely as I can.

To dig into method_missing a bit more: when you call a non-existent ruby method on any object it has to check for and run a method called method_missing, which can contain arbitrarily complex code, on the object itself as well as every class in the inheritance hierarchy. Because ruby is a dynamic language with dynamic dispatch, you can't easily precompute the results of doing this.

Yours is a real grievance, though most of the people on this thread are complaining from the perspective of a search consumer, not from a commercial advertiser.

Lots of businesses use Google ads to great success, and I get that it's frustrating when your one source of new business changes terms on you, but this is the game. Google now has a lot of power over you, that's the market working.

But your relationship with Google is not necessarily adversarial. After all, they still bring you new business. As long as the cost for ads does not exceed the revenue from new business, the relationship you have with Google is mutually beneficial, though it might hurt when they change terms on you.

That's how business works. It frustrating, but that's the game.
