What do you mean by "fraud of the elections themselves"?
Canada's guarantor system is still in place, although the guarantor currently doesn't have to be a licensed professional.

As an American immigrant to Canada, I don't see the point - the US has never in my lifetime had either a professional photo requirement or a guarantor requirement for its passports, nor even a digital requirement.

Certainly, paying someone like a pharmacy for passport photos is not rare in the US to reduce the risk of out-of-spec photos leading to a rejection. But that's just a common personal choice and not obligatory.

I suspect Canada's guarantor system is inspired by the UK's, though I don't actually know.

Agreed on both counts.

The other big one I'd add is yoroshiku (+onegai-shimasu), which in the abstract conveys that the speaker anticipates some kind of help or cooperation from the listener. It can translate as anything from "looking forward to working with you" to "Please help, I'm counting on you", or even "I'm leaving this in your hands, get it done" depending on context, tone, honorifics and so on.

Perhaps your exhaustion stems from defending a position, rather than seeking knowledge?
First, I think you're missing a "not" in your second sentence?

The certifications are an interesting additional detail that I wasn't aware of. So if I understand correctly, the program wrote one set of rules for purchases of individual bonds, and then a different set of rules for purchases of ETFs. It allocated more money for individual bonds, but the Fed discovered that those rules meant that no issuers wanted to participate. So the Fed instead purchased ETFs.

I think I'd still say that makes the ETFs more convenient? Certainly that's true under those rules; and to the extent those different rules exist for good reason (e.g., because with a diversified and liquid index, it's easier to avoid both the appearance of political favor and the actual thing), that seems fundamentally true too. So I don't see what that changes in my initial statement, though it's interesting that it happened "by accident" instead of by design.
> "if I have a thousand photos of faces and I think one of them matches the blurred face, I can figure out which one with high confidence",

Is that actually a practical attack here? I can see it working if you have 1000 passport photo or mugshot frames photos, and a blurred photo with the same level/front-on framing. But is there a practical attack for non direct-facing-camera blurred pictures? (Assuming the scale of "locals at a local protest" instead of "Find Edward Snowden's blurred face from any BLM protest, no matter what the cost!!!")

I found an example, which I've added to the parent post.
Sitcom is a conjoining of two word: situational comedy. I wonder if that makes it a great example or a poor one. Now I’m curious of other conjoined words...

Edit: doh. I forgot there is a word for that: portmanteau.
Given that a lot of ways of using it seem to parallel "own", consider a sentence that is said to use it to mean "proper":

"Non è questa la sede propria per parlarne"

The original source translated it as "This isn't the proper place to discuss it."

You could say this means "This is not the place that belongs to talk about it". That's stilted English, but in my opinion, better than proper or appropriate, it captures the relatedness of "own" with the different senses of something belonging. The word "proper" confuses things because it is spelled more like the Italian word, but functionally it's more specialized.

I went and read about this because "proprio" made me think of the English word "proprioception" which was coined in the early 20th century based on the Latin "proprius" meaning "own". And then French "propre" comes to mind.
Every time I read about them I go look, but seems like my library isn’t big enough for Kanopy. They have Hoopla and Libby, but not Kanopy yet.
Battery swapping was an idea that made sense when battery tech wasn't as good and ranges weren't as great, but its window has passed. You might be thinking of Better Place, which actually launched a battery-swap station. It made sense (some) sense at the time to spend 5 minutes on a battery swap that would otherwise take 6 hours to charge for 111 miles of range. But today, right now, you can spend 20 minutes to get 174 miles of range at a supercharger.
>Back on topic though

You over-philosophized to the point of bringing their kitschy koan off-topic.

How I interpreted the use of the koan : Apple has no history of legally chasing those who virtualize their operating system; as this is a non-topic thusfar -- who cares?

The hammer may fall one day, but so far 'why are we worried about a legal response that doesn't seem to exist?'.

The answer, of course, is that anyone who builds product based on a legally grey area is at risk when that area begins to crumble.

>it's too bad Apple doesn't allow licenses for running things headlessly like this.

agreed, but I think Apple wants to drive everyone to a hardware solution.

At one point 'enterprise-ish' hardware was offered, but now it seems that it'd be in their interest to offer virtualization licenses while trying to smooth out whatever troubles exist between their software and the major VM hyper-visor offers out there -- mostly since there are huges holes in their hardware offerings for those seeking to do 'enterprise-ish' things en masse.
Same thing happened to me when trying to learn Clojure without Java knowledge or F# without C#. It's a big hurdle.
Article doesn't mention SILLIAC, a similar computer at Sydney University.

> Like most of the IAS family, SILLIAC was not an exact copy of ILLIAC. One important change was the use of 2C51[6] valves in place of the more common 6J6.[7] The 2C51 had been developed by Bell Labs for use in undersea telephone repeaters and had about 5 times the life (for 6 times the cost). This decision significantly improved the reliability of SILLIAC compared to its contemporaries.

Interesting, seems like he is validating the findings of the paper that grinding cooler beans produces more fines and you should strive for fines and derive the rest of your technique around optimizing the fines.
How does nostalgia differ from wistfulness?
thank you! and thank you Saagar for reminding me to policies. I just saw them. Either way, my point is simple. If a person pays for the device, they should have the right to do whatever they want with that device. A business should be able to replace with after market parts, just like any car (where I don't go to showroom to replace the original part, but after market because sometimes they are equally good or i could afford to break my glass twice instead of paying hefty for apple care! its that simple. I am all for freedom of choice as a user. If the business brands it as original iphone part, then they have the right to sue them, but in this case its not!
I hope one day apps like Signal will be the default for everyone, not just protesters in a time of crisis.
I can't say for sure that the time I've spent working with Emacs has been overall net positive, but I enjoy it, and it's changed how I think about the interface between users and their programs.
I’d argue Scala still owns that niche. Kotlin is nice if you’re stuck on Android, but with the speed Java is progressing I don’t see a huge difference. Especially in 2-3 years.

Also with Scala you get a best in class JS compile target, a great scripting platform in Ammonite, and Graal native image for binaries with fast startup.

You misunderstood. (Ignoring the earth being a sphere.)

A satellite directly overhead means you need to travel to that altitude. However, if it’s not overhead light is traveling the hypotenuse of a right triangle where X is the distance to a point underneath the satellite and Y is the altitude of the satellite. That distance is the square root( X^2 + y^2). From there you need to travel to a different base station.

Assuming an ideal path where the satellite is directly between two locations that are 680 miles apart, that adds up to 2 * ( sqrt(340^2 + 340^2) ) ~= 961.7 miles vs 340 + 340 miles, or an added 281.7 miles not 680. In other words 1.414x the distance rather than simply adding 680.

Clearly the earth is not a flat and your very unlikely to be in that situation, but assuming you can reach several satellites at the same time it is likely one of them will be roughly in the direction you want to go.

That's a good point. I've already seen at least one other person on this post comment to a Github repo that blurs faces. It might be secure, it might not be. I wouldn't trust it by default.

With a static overlay, the method is simple enough that I can evaluate the security. With a blur, I don't know the difference between a good one and a bad one, so I can only trust the reputation of the author.

I like to be able to look at the output of an anonymizer and to be able to tell myself at a glance whether it worked.
OK. Issuers need a certification to sell to the Fed. My understanding is that no one wants to sell to the Fed because the first person that does will be seen as having a weak financial position. This was the reasoning for TARP - the Feds made every bank take money, even if they didn't need it.

If no one wants to sell to the Fed, why do they need a certification? Also they're buying ETFs of bonds, are you saying this is materially different than buying the actual bonds?

If there is something preventing you from making trades it means you have lower liquidity.
I can only verify as he had public profile, I am 51% sure the improvetter probably is also. but saying that is against policy. So, I keep my mouth shut. I can only see some bias going on here. all I am saying is user should have the freedom and business should have freedom to repair as long as they are not claiming its apple original part or using their brand in any means and this case it doesn't look like!

A similar philosophy has made the "tidyverse" a much-loved extension of the statistical language R.

Compare the following 2 equivalent snippets. Which one seems more understandable?

iris_data %>%
names() %>%
tolower() %>%
gsub(".", "_", ., fixed=TRUE) %>%
paste0("(", ., ")")

or:

paste0("(", gsub(".", "_", tolower(names(iris_data)), fixed=TRUE), ")")
I'd interpret that koan to mean that those in isolated woods can make noise without being heard.

Say I have a personal project with a few dozen users. Somebody reports a bug on osx -- I don't do windows, I don't do macs, so I'd need to rely on my small community to fix it. With a pirate copy, I'd be able to do the fix -- and none would be the wiser.

Scale that up to a company, put it up on a public repo's CI, and that's when people might hear the tree fall.
FWIW You're not being trolled by me. Good initial post - glad you brought the topic to the fore.
Ni. On one hand that's exactly what it means, yet the fact that a sizeable fraction of Italian speakers accepted a new lexeme in their heads means that it has an extra expressive power, perhaps due the word play, that conveys an extra layer of meaning that would be lost if you just say "yes and no" (i.e. "si e no" or "no e si").

Funny enough, sometimes it's even hard to transate the untranslatability of something.
One has to wonder about behind the scenes heuristics as it pertains to taking a chance distributing a backdoored version sideloaded into the App Stores. One also wonders about whether the encryption or app are possibly compromised generally (even if the source is vetted and distributions are verified)

Perhaps most of interest though would be how many phones are owned otherwise, to give access to the protester Signal comms anyway

And also metadata must still fly around anyway, no?
> Many thousands are today posting about how black people are being continuously killed by police, but yet no Twitter fact checks. In reality, just 10 unarmed black men were killed by the police last year.

Do you realize how you moved the goalpost? The second sentence does not contradict the first one ...
10 of any tragic thing is too many. The question is if that constitutes a trend, epidemic, pattern, etc in a country with 18,000 police agencies, 800,000 police and 330 million people.

Twitter made the case that Trump's tweet was false by saying "These claims are unsubstantiated, according to CNN, Washington Post and others. Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud."

Why can't that statement be rewritten to say that "Experts say that police killings of unarmed black men are very rare".

and most of those 10 were attacking police officers when they were killed
I think it's really hard to compare because of credentialing.

In the legal space there is a ton of free information and resources out there, and plenty of ways to work personally or professionally with the law that don't require a JD. For example part of my job is to advise colleagues on contracts and IP issues. I have no formal legal training; I learned on my own and have built up trust in my ability based on demonstrated competency. Not that I'm some special flower; I know other people with similar responsibilities.

Of course we also have actual lawyers on staff, and I'll never be able transfer to that role without shelling out some $$ because it is a formally defined credential. By definition there's only one way to become a lawyer.

Conversely, the lack of formal credentialing in software development makes it hard to evaluate the quality of the "professional training" that is available for free. If I go through the COD3 curriculum linked up top, what job can I reasonably expect to get? I don't think COD3 is comparable to a 3-year post-graduate degree in law.

The free-for-all that allows for open-ended innovation also allows a lot of open-ended promises about the value of free things. And because they're free, there's not really any accountability if the promises fall short. I don't think this is a bad thing; but it does make it hard to cleanly compare it to more formally credentialed industries.
The difference should be readily visible. Various aspects of visual sensitivity can certainly vary between people but I think it's far more likely that your monitor isn't very well calibrated or is possibly just of low quality.

In my case, the difference is barely visible on the profile I typically have loaded because I modified it to maximize brightness and text legibility at the expense of significant color accuracy.
Please provide an example. Thank you.

The point is that there is mail in ballot fraud, Twitter claims Trump's fear mongering is wrong because it's extremely rare. Posted below, butt there are 18,000 police agencies and 800,000 police officers in a country of 330 million people. 10 is not an epidemic pattern just like Twitter claims that 500 mail in ballot prosecutions (over multiple years) is not a pattern.
How is Signal getting money from the US government? I don't know much about them, but that seems rather surprising.
Sure, but in a larger project your won’t be coding in shell script, right?
- Bash is awful (should be replaced with Python, and there are so many Python-based shells now that reify that opinion)

It has its pain points, but the things that (ba)sh is good at, it's really good at and python, in my experience, doesn't compete. Dumb example: `tar czf shorttexts.tar.gz $(find . -type f | grep ^./...\.txt) && rsync shorttexts.tar.gz laptop:`. I could probably make a python script that did the equivalent, but it would not be a one-liner, and my feeling is that it would be a lot uglier.

- Various crusty bits of Linux that haven't aged well besides the above items (/usr/bin AND /usr/local/bin? multiple users on one computer?? user groups??? entering sudo password all the time????)

In order: /usr/bin is for packaged software; /usr/local is the sysadmin's local builds. Our servers at work have a great many users, and we're quite happy with it. I... have no idea why you would object to groups. If you're entering your sudo password all the time, you're probably doing something wrong, but you're welcome to tell it to not require a password or increase the time before reprompting.

- The design blunder of assuming that people will read insanely dense man pages (the amount of StackOverflow questions[0][1][2] that exist for anything that can be located in documentation are a testament to this)

I'll concede that many GNU/Linux manpages are a bit on the long side (hence bro and tldr pages), but having an actual manual, and having it locally (works offline) is quite nice. Besides which, you can usually just search through it and find what you want.

- And of course no bideo gambes and other things (although hopefully webapps will liberate us from OS dependence soon[3][4])

Webapps have certainly helped the application situation, but Steam and such have also gotten way better; it's moved from "barely any video games on Linux" to "a middling amount of games on Linux".

> Trump was fact checked by Twitter a few weeks ago for claiming mail in ballots are linked to voter fraud

No, his claim was not that they are linked ... I will not replicate his tweet, but his claim was much much stronger in the tweet.

If you are trying to create intelligent arguments, you need to be more careful. If you are just trolling, good job.
What would be likely frequency range for the laser transmission? What would the send/receive stations look like?
Is this related to avatarify at all? I tried that a few times and the result was very similar to what is in the recent videos section.
The other part of that is that the original article mentions that often the morphing is not visible to humans, so its possible you can get a morphed image guaranteed just like any other.
The -E on the grep makes no sense. I do not see any ERE. Looks like everything here could be done with a single invocation of sed. Can anyone share some sample output of kubectl?
On one hand, the tech is well enough understood that making a clone is doable.

On the other hand, 2012 called.
Fair for that "who will receive a ballot" point. If that's all Twitter was fact checking my point would not stand.

But disagree on the other point of their fact check - which goes with my argument. Here is the quote from the top of their fact check of his tweet:

"Trump makes unsubstantiated claim that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud

On Tuesday, President Trump made a series of claims about potential voter fraud after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced an effort to expand mail-in voting in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. These claims are unsubstantiated, according to CNN, Washington Post and others. Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud."

This quote could literally be written to disprove any of a number of liberal arguments - but yet curiously isn't.
