It's an alt-right in-joke related to the incel subculture.
Distributing GCC does.
I remember watching a talk Brian gave where he touched on the meatspace implications of his reporting. Private security, threats of violence, doxxing.

This is the kind of stuff that people kill over. I'm really glad he's doing the work he does, I don't know if I'd be brave enough to if I were in that position.
The question is a bit ambiguous though. I could see people thinking "I'm sure a quarter of them have been on it at some point" rather than hearing the question as "what percentage of immigrants are on unemployment at the present time?"
He's right though. As far as the first amendment goes, books are the most robust medium we have. You can go to Amazon right now and buy a copy of Mein Kampf, hardcover, paperback, or Kindle. Surely Berenson's book is not worse than Mein Kampf?

Here's a though experiment, reductio ad absurdum, if you will.

Say you like Bezos' politics and agree with the stuff he wants to censor. Say tomorrow Bezos is run over by a bus and, through a weirdest twist of fate in history (bear with me on this one) Richard Spencer takes his place, complete with his own, very different editorial preferences.

Would you still agree that Amazon, as a company, has an unimpeded right to censor speech then? And if not, you need to think very carefully why you're _not_ against giving them this power now.
That's like saying that JPEGs can never be displayed because information has been lost.

The belief that you cannot identify someone from a blurred face is an extremely strong assumption that is just begging to be demolished using some sufficiently advanced technology.

In particular, if you only need to go from a list of 10,000 candidate persons (thanks cellphone mass surveillance) to three or four candidate persons (shoot them all and let god sort it out) then I am think it is fairly that you could do so with more or less existent technology. (essentially, use machine learning to transplant faces from DMV photos into the scene and then redo the blur and select the most likely matches).

Think of it this way: if you want to winnow 10k candidates down to four people you need to extract less than 12 bits of entropy. It's not trivial because the scene, pose, lighting, etc. make all your measurements noisy and non-independent.
Aesthetic. A blurred face looks better on a picture than a fat black box.

But like others have pointed out, you can achieve (allmost) the same effect, if you remove enough information before blurring, or just drawing a smooth gradient, but this alone is harder to make it look as nice, as blurring the actual image.
Sure, but if management moved to these countries instead of programmers moving to the US you could achieve the same thing, and those managers would have great cheap teams. And lower cost of living for themselves as well.
Yes, I know that's why. If that's a security risk, though, I'm saying I don't really mind if it's an official passport agent who has to take the photo, and giving them to power to say "suck it up, it's not a fashion shoot" to avoid drawing things out.

DMVs already do this for drivers' licenses. It's odd that passports don't work the same way.
I don't care though. What I care about is that it's a pain in the butt to do CI/CD pipelines for an application with iOS/OSX support. So if someone has a headless OS X contraption on offer, I want to hear some more about it.

The last time I set this up, a manager decided he wanted a laptop like the rest of us instead of the iMac he got. He asked semi-jokingly if someone wanted the machine for anything and I said "Yes, I do" before he even got the sentence out.

There was just enough memory on the machine for me to set up a few Jenkins agents on it, one for Safari, the rest using the Selenium-maintained docker images.
The thing is, if you want to build a shed, or a mountain cabin, or a boat, or even a hobby airplane, (which are all structures) there are a ton of free or low-cost resources and tutorials out there, many by working professionals.

There are also a lot of free in-person clubs and meetups for these things in many communities.
Unfortunately all media is biased, with most primarily taking a far left stance. This is likely just due to $$$ as we live in a capitalist society. If I owned a news station the questions I would ask is “what demographic is the most profitable to us?” and “what content brings in the most money?”
> In a dynamic language, whenever I need to double-check the contract for some code, I can't just go look look at its type signature, I have to go read through it. I have to fully load that whole subtree of information into my brain (recursively to any functions it may itself call), when I'm really trying to focus my thoughts on something else. This can be a huge, needless drain on mental resources.

Yes, this is a headache, and certainly a problem that afflicts Clojure. Spec doesn't really help much in this regard. There is a proper static typing system for Clojure[0] that does provide a lot of the editor integration you speak of, but as I recall it was a little too brittle and orthogonal to Clojure's way of doing things to be as useful as spec. Some of Clojure's core constructs are completely impossible to type statically.

As with everything there are tradeoffs and choices to be made. I've been writing Clojure professionally for 5+ years now and there's no other language I have much interest in dealing with full-time (yet). One has to choose one's poison I suppose.

Counterpoint: Yesterday's useless robotic dog [0] is... today's useless robotic dog [1]. I've been working on various autonomous robotic technologies long enough with no visible progress that it's starting to feel like vaporware to me.

It's too early to make the prediction with certainty, but I won't be at all surprised if 20 years from now "autonomous delivery drone" is right up there with flying cars and nuclear fusion on the "20 more years" shelf.

What’s the town in question, if I might ask?
The irony of WebGPU, is that we will be able to get it via Chrome and frameworks like BabylonJS, while the Android team is not willing to provide something similar to Java/Kotlin devs.

Sceneform seems to be dead, and Filament is nothing more than a tech demo.
I think it’s a crucial distinction that the police did not impose the curfew. The politicians imposed the curfew and ordered the police to enforce it.

After the multi-month long shutdown for COVID (and the very questionable justification for pushing 40 million healthy people out of their jobs) I think a several day curfew to limit widespread rioting and looting is both relatively minor and highly targeted by comparison.

But even if you disagree with the curfew, it’s not the police that imposed it.
i don't necessarily disagree, but what happens when other politicians/constituents aren't doing their jobs?
IPv6 gives you a ridiculously large number of different IPs... but they are all in the same /64, which you can pretty much treat as a single location. So, all these IPs aren’t really adding much to protect someone’s privacy.

You can use Docker Machine and whatever backend you want, including xhyve, VirtualBox, and VMware Fusion, and enable nested virtualisation in the created machine.
Your second stance is a great way to get tackled.

Whether or not you have somebody with you willing to defend you, which simultaneously forfeits their life, is the important thing. Turns out, people don't seem to be so willing to give their life for democracy. Unfortunate, because that's how it's forever snuffed.

Looking for backend/full stack dev as contractor to early employee/Cofounder

CoLife connects homeowners to fantastic, vetted guests based on their common values and living styles. It's like Airbnb + Match.com for housing.

Guests put in their information, values, and living styles, and press search. We show them their matches for free. If they want to move forward they do a background and credit check. If they meet and like each other, they pay a one time transaction fee.

Guests receive rent that's 50-60% less than if they had to get their own place. They get a much more stable living situation and an automatic friend. Rooms are often times furnished and the lease can be much more flexible because they are working with a homeowner directly.

Homeowners not only create extra income but a major part of CoLife is the human value proposition.

In the USA the average home has doubled in size in the last 50 years while we are now building half as many homes as we were, driving prices up. Meanwhile, isolation is our greatest health risk. CoLife addresses both of these problems.

We are bringing back the human pattern that was once in the USA and is around most of the world today of boarding houses, owner occupied home that rent out at least one room. In the 1800’s as many as 1/2 of residents in major US cities lived in them, and they filled an important role in affordability and social connection. Living in them would be several elderly people who stayed permanently, business men and students.

People are willing to share housing if it's made easy and safe. But their best options now if they do not have a personal network are not easy or safe. CoLife makes it easy and safe through high level matching, human review of applications, background and credit checks, and having Home Guides help people find their perfect match.

While we spent 2018 researching and 2019 manually prototyping, since launching the first iteration software 6-8 weeks ago we have hundreds of users sign up with very little marketing and have generated roughly $5,000 in revenue.

You can email me at derek@colife.fit

Having created a notable thing is not EXACTLY the same as being notable. Sometimes.
Looks great! Any plans to support SSR in say, the React use case? useEffect won't run on the server and obviously you don't have the DOM.

I'd love to use this for the table to come rendered from the server then hydrate on the frontend and enable AJAX pagination, etc.

Completely understand if you can't, after all, you'd likely need to more tightly integrate with ReactDOMServer.

Can you elaborate on how Clojure helped you tackle the complexity? I've considered learning Clojure (I have the Brave Clojure book sitting not far from me) but I have concerns about the learning curve (I'm a fullstack dev by day (C#/Angular) slowing me down in my own attempt to build a SaaS.
There's even more going on here. Take a look at the studies and note 1) the timing and 2) the lack of zinc. We've already had statistically significant results, where zinc is a significant factor with HCQ. Also the timing doesn't make sense. Wait 4 days after they show up so the virus can replicate, then give them a viral replication inhibitor? Huh?

It'd definitely be a harder sell for third party software to require a privileged container and /dev/kvm mounted when you run it in your environment, especially since nested virtualization is largely unavailable in AWS. It also requires that the correct kvm kernel module is loaded, etc.

However, if it was a product that required virtualization and that was recognized as a requirement, then also distributing a docker image that could do it would probably be useful for people in the "and if you don't have virtualization infrastructure, but have container orchestration and nodes that support virtualization, our service will also work in a privileged container" camp
> While the average American born in the bottom 20% has a 7.8% chance of reaching the top 20%, that number is actually 25% for Asians.

Exactly. Amy Chau wrote a great book called The Triple Package that points this out and the fact that its not just Asians (which broadly lumps Indians and all other Asian cultures together): Nigerian immigrants, Cuban exiles, Lebonese, Mormons, Iranians, Jews, all see roughly the same phenomena of surpassing average American household income. Its considered taboo to point out that income inequality is largely cultural.
Watched a lot of your youtube videos, really great help :)
However this should push down the salaries in the higher income areas and push up the salaries in the lower income areas due to lack of workers. That doesn't seem to happen much.
Except that there are laws against showing nipples to minors. There is no law about showing an (even unlawful) presidential order to the public.
Please supply some facts, then. I expect better from you.

I did some envelope math and I don't think we need improved supercapacitors, especially not for trucks: we just need a big bank of the ones we have.

All that's required is storage for ~35mph to 0, and you get 95% regen instead of 10%.

Can still shunt to the battery on long descents, but for UPS, this would be perfect.
I am wondering to what degree would actually work. As I understand it, lots of the most egregious equipment is picked up essentially as federal gov't / military "leftovers", and while it's nominally sold or auctioned off there's not exactly a lot of potential buyers. So cutting your local police force would just mean the one next door buys twice as much, and cutting everywhere just decreases every buyer's budget so the price just drops.

I suppose in this case we see the money going to programs that would, y'know, maybe at least help some people - assuming it doesn't get pitched directly into middle-class tax cuts, which seems more likely to me in any large city. But I don't see exactly how budget reduction would have any noticable impact on militarization.
I'm struggling to add this all up.

On the one hand, I have some evidence that my job is hard: I have spent ten years learning to be proficient at it, still know only a narrow slice of it, and find it challenging every day. I have a solid degree from a world-renowned university, so I know I am not stupid. I also interview candidates, and know that many applicants simply cannot do the job.

But on the other hand, there is such a sheer volume of resources like this, which imply very clearly that becoming a programmer is a trivial thing. So many in fact that I am starting to doubt the evidence of my eyes and ears.

So which is it? Is there a weird drive to constantly undersell our skills, a knowing wink to the managers who have always secretly suspected us of being nothing more than glorified typists? Or are the bootcamps right, and I've spent a decade learning replaceable trivia? And why is making statement #2 seen as positive and inclusive?

Comprehensive Formal Verification of an OS Microkernel [pdf]
"potentially" is the key word here

I could argue it was politicized the moment that politician claimed it was the be-all and end-all and his frenzied supporters declared it to work. All lack of success in science by the drug has already been dismissed as a political attack. Heck, the pandemic itself has been dismissed as a political attack too. The bodies are dismissed as a political attack.

And yet we still can't show the drug works.

I worry excess attention on this drug due to politic pressure is distracting from exploring life-saving treatments that aren't this drug.

There's an enormous pressure on science to deliver, and it has to actually prove it unlike the politicians.

Is your suggestion that the rioters and looters (and I make a strong distinction here between those people and peaceful protesters) are in fact an attempted insurrection and should be responded to as such?
I mean, I'm very much in support of the protestors, but...

They can't exactly institute a curfew after things get out of control. And they have gotten out of control across the country in the previous nights.

hyperkit is a fork of xhyve, plus stuff like bridges between inotify and kqueue/fsevents, or transparent tcp port forwarding.

Hypervisor.framework is an API to execute hypervised code, to build virtualisation engines that can run unprivileged; you still have to write an actual virtual machine.
JFTR, Actual thread mostly about post nuclear war world.
I recently watched Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice which also deals with the threat of nuclear destruction. The main character is having a birthday dinner when the news informs everybody about the nuclear threat. The simplicity in which this information is revealed and the transition from the mundane to abject fear connected really well to modern times.

It's interesting seeing film ideas repeat and be interpreted by multiple directors. It's almost like some ideas need to bounce from director to director before they find the right outlet. I Live In Fear begets Dr Strangelove begets The Sacrifice.

I could be totally wrong, and perhaps I should read that blog, but working in HFT doesn't sound very rewarding except perhaps in a pure financial sense. It seems to me that the field contributes nothing to society, and has only negative externalities like raising barriers of entry to markets and using insane amount of resources.

In some sense, yes, using GCC puts limits on what you can legally do. The intent of those limits is well explained by Stallman. In case of API I highly suspect the intent is there. Now, how that intent is interpreted by reading GPL is another matter - though it would be sad to find a company abusing the legal system.

> Regenerative braking isn't nearly as efficient on something like a UPS truck or semi, compared to your Leaf.

I don't get the point here. If it's 40% effective on his LEAF and 20% effective on a delivery van, then it is. Anything that increases range or decreases the cost of the vehicle is a big win. Regenerative braking is one of many reasons why electric delivery vans make a ton of sense, it's not the only reason.
Good to know. Anyone using it? Are there good examples I can take a look at?

Your comparison makes sense after I looked at the CUE docs. The explanation for booleans is exactly how it's modeled as a domain, it is isomorphic to the lattice of subsets of the 2 element set with true and false. Domains and lattices are closely related, I think there might even be a duality theorem that says they're equivalent (probably Stone duality but I'm not sure).
This is the real looting.
wonder if publishing the truth in this way before anybody else is the ultimate form of damage control.

I wouldn't be so quick to say it's an alt-right joke. Plenty of my friends will describe something/someone as a Chad and it has nothing to do with incel/alt-right cultures. Are those kind of phrases thrown out in those circles? Yes, but that's more of the general meme/internet lingo as opposed to subscribing to an ideology.
You're just spouting falsehoods that are not shown in the video.

The protestors had umbrellas for hours; they were not "deployed" shortly before officers initiated violence. Protesters were up against the fence for hours and did not push it forward substantially. The umbrella the officer grabbed wasn't in anyone's face.

Note that 12,000 complaints were filed about SPD's overuse of force after that night.

> you can see some flashing from the crowd side - not sure what that is

Bud, that's a camera.

> But there is a clear pattern of escalation, tension, and confusion.

I totally agree with that statement. SPD repeatedly escalates peaceful situations into violent ones.

I don't know how many they actually make/sell, but Hyundai-Kia seem to be doing a good job. The Kona Electric is 37k before credits and has a 258 mile range, and they can make "up to" 30,000 a year. I think the Nero EV and Soul EV share some underpinnings and are similar in range and price. There's also the IONIQ EV but that's slightly last gen.

Generally though I agree that there's a huge difference between cars on lots and plans for the future someone else has to figure out. I imagine Ford/GM figure most of the electric market will be similar to the sedan and compact market, and plan on ceding it to competitors as they have done with those markets, and will focus on larger and/or more brand-ey electrics like the Mach E versus something like a Leaf or Model 3.
