I mean, it's par for the course across America during protests. It's important to remember "less than lethal" doesn't mean safe - I saw a photo of a dude who's eye was.. exploded by a tear gas canister. Forget where that was but it was not Seattle.

If anything's weird about the Seattle PD, it could be they remember the 1999 WTO protests and want to crush them this time. But overall they all seem to be around the same -- very low -- standard
Hello. Nice product, but some small problems:

- on MacBook 13", when editing calculated signals the dialog is bigger than the screen and the dialog cannot be closed (and maybe some other parts of the interface are hidden) - maybe add a max width/height on the dialog and a scroll

- the license does not work on windows (but works on mac build)

- on mac the feedback button the application splits in 2 identical views, with the mouse cursor movements mirrored (and an error about creating a folder .../bugs)

I've been using xrdp more extensively with WSL2 recently. Because WSL2 often gets a new network interface assigned, X connections back to Windows are terminated, while rdesktop to xrdp running on the WSL2 instance does not.

RemoteFX is active, but on my 2560x1440 display there is still a bit of sluggishness. However, it's fine to run PyCharm locally on the WSL2, which is my primary use case with this.
Intel has some absolutely killer politics, especially at the higher level, entire organisations will plan road maps deliberately contingent on deliverables they know other teams are going to miss. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the result of Keller just having enough of it and giving up. The fact that the press release involves an already resolved organisational structure that looks highly political is a big red flag.

It depends, like many things, this is very nuanced.

In my time at university, I knew many capable and bright people who cheated once in a while, but only in well-picked cases, not as their general policy. For example if there was a mandatory bullshit subject, or something that they regarded as worthless waste of time etc. and rather spent the time on the important things.

I think it's a very naive shielded "good boy" view of the world that there is some simple rigid moral rule like never lie, never cheat etc. It may work in a benevolent environment like rich protective parents and never dealing with adversity. One has to develop one's own sense of justice.

This can be easily misconstrued. The point isn't to believe in nothing, be exploitative and selfish. Rather, be mindful and don't just blindly follow someone's bullshit. Indeed much of the purpose of education is to kill this ability and to certify the capability for blind obedience and jumping through hoops without ever questioning it.

One guy I mentioned in the above parts is actually really honest in general and sometimes I wonder how he gets away with it in corporate environments, saying straight nos, not putting up with colleagues criticizing him for working too fast etc. I've usually been much more careful but he's more successful. And it's an art of picking your battles, refusing bullshit, sometimes openly sometimes secretly (at least don't lie to yourself), sometimes making a stink, sometimes just complaining to fellow students, knowing the unwritten lore of which courses are unofficially considered "cheats allowed" by most talented students and probably the teacher included.

The world is complicated, but for shielded kids with underdeveloped social skills it can be hard to learn how widespread "rule bending" is in real adult life and how much this is basically known, expected and part of life.

Again, this is not to say be selfish and disregard others. Rather, think for yourself, know when something is bullshit (there is lots of fancy official institutional stamped-and-signed authoritative bullshit out there, often coming from people who know it's bullshit but either don't care of feel their hands are tied).

>too unpalatable for too many people

And this is, I think, totally wrong. The soldiers in the Wehrmacht and SS are a representative section of the German population at the time. They are a far larger percentage of the population than you'd need for a representative poll. And, despite having no real consequences for refusal (no German soldier was never executed or severely punished for refusing to kill jews) most not only took part in the holocaust, but went above and beyond what was required of them, piling on cruelty above and beyond what their orders demanded.

I don't think Germans are the only ones to blame, that said. German soldiers were helped in the pogroms in Poland by ordinary citizens, for instance, many of whom took active parts in torturing and murdering their neighbors. I would imagine the only reason why this was not also common in Germany proper is that there were simply far less jews there, and most of them were already incarcerated by this point in the war.

I also think a lot of your argument rests on a dubious idea of what constitutes 'knowledge of the Holocaust'. If we're talking about specific knowledge of how operations at Auschwitz worked, I would imagine all the Nazis not directly involved (perhaps even Hitler!) would be 'innocent'. Knowledge of the camps existence was, on the other hand, commonplace[1]. Knowledge of the extermination program was explicit amongst superior officers, but equally, not at all uncommon amongst ordinary people, many of whom took a part in the project (doctors, for instance, with the euthanasia program). The link has some interesting reading about how the extermination policy did in polls - it was more popular than the CDU is today, for instance.

If CHAZ is successful, it'll be a template for other protests.. protestors will realize they can push for "autonomous zones" and it can actually happen.. if protests are battles, now land can be won, at least for a while.

I think that has conservatives (and probably neoliberals) pretty freaked, so they want to hit it like Waco, to snuff out the idea.

Just because it is unintuitive doesn't make it absurd. It is still well defined and its behaviour is understood and can be described. It's one thing to think 'this is so messed up that maybe the foundations are messed up' and it's another to actually find a new set of foundations which don't produce any 'absurd' results at all but are still useful.

I haven't read your book specifically, but many people have thought about the problematic nature of infinity in analysis.

> Due to the laws of thermodynamics, people don't gain or lose weight "regardless of diet". Some medical conditions can reduce metabolic rate or increase hunger, but even so for every person there is a calorie intake threshold below which they will lose weight.

No, AIUI there are metabolic syndromes where instead of losing weight, they'll just get sicker and die, even while gaining weight.

My understanding, based on stuff I've read and talks by the likes of UCSF's Lustig on youtube, is that in some cases people can be effectively starving themselves to death internally while gaining weight eating a normal diet because most the energy consumed is being stored in fat. When you lower the caloric intake, they don't lose weight, they just keep getting sicker and can eventually die without the appropriate hormonal medication.

If memory serves, one extreme example of this was a young girl with a small brain tumor whom after having it removed started putting on weight with nothing changed in her diet or lifestyle, no matter what they changed she wouldn't stop getting fatter - she just got weaker/sicker if they removed calories, while still getting fatter. They determined a region of her brain was damaged in the operation, IIRC it was the pituitary gland, and started medicating her with the necessary hormones to take its place and everything was back to normal. I'm pretty sure it was covered in one of the Lustig talks on youtube.

These are really fascinating failure modes that illustrate how the body has complex control systems for energy storage and energy release. The orthogonal thing to appreciate is that what foods you consume influence these control systems without removing the relevant organs. We can look at the extremes of brain damage and organ removal to see how the hormones have the final say over where the energy goes for better or worse. The more complicated part is figuring out which foods have what effects. Currently fructose seems to be the primary concern. A calorie is definitely not a calorie; fructose calories appear to be toxic.

Just watch a talk by Dr. Lustig, literally any talk will do. This one is pretty recent, and while it's more focused on linking sugar with cancer it still touches on the same general information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpNU72dny2s

My bandwidth is severely limited where I'm at, so I can't easily go digging through youtube videos to find the other I mentioned with the brain tumor patient. All of Lustig's talks have been insightful in the past however FWIW.
Such a memory... There is some lag due to network, but this is still a great and very promise project.
>so does the re-siting it into an art gallery de-facto make it art? If so that's a pathetically shallow achievement.

Yes it is art. There is no barrier to turning into something into art. You don't need to go to a government office and license your work as art. You don't need to go to an established committee of artists to approve your work as art. Art can be bad, otherwise good art couldn't exist. Every good artist started out as a bad artist. People started to think all art must be good because that's the only form of art they see and the only way to counteract that is by showing them bad or ugly art.
>The problem that the USA has with Iran is that they don't want a theocracy with a nuclear bomb

I don't think the fact that it's a theocracy plays any part in that or that it isn't democratic enough for that matter.

> At the time, my hyper-religious mind was blown to see students outright cheating in the Testing Center.

Then you would have lost your mind during some of my upper division STEM courses, where the normal class average is in the mid 40% on the high end and high 30s most semesters. We had a class average of ~83% in one of them, and when the professor was in total disbelief about how blatant they were being (several didn't even try not to get 100%) he got upset and decided to stop re-using the previous year's exams that were circulating amongst the Frats/Sororities and the class average dropped back down to low 30% for the last 2 Midterms and finals. This personally helped me as I got my average to a B+ range after my Lab scores were included.

Academia, be it online of IRL, it always going to have that element of corruption, there has just been so much money to be made that it drew the worst from other sectors into its administrations. Eric Weinstein goes into the depth about the artificial scarcity within STEM that was created in the US to favour a 'race to the bottom' approach to wages since the the 90s, and he went to both MIT and Harvard!

My best professors were often disillusioned and jaded after having been in Academia for a few decades, one even having to petition and protest to the Dean of their departments to be paid for having taught back to back Summer courses during the budget cuts. A person who went to Oxford for his BSc, no less...

All of this is taking place while hearing about some high ranking official or executive is in the process of being disgraced for having plagiarized their Masters or PhD thesis decades ago, which begs the question how the hell did it pass back then? Don't they all have to go through dissertations defenses and have academic advisors who are PhD or Post Docs in the very same department?

I won't even talk about the administrative led favoritism and vetting they did for foreign students during my time there, either.

I'm a proponent of of Online Learning in general, especially as its disrupting the Brick and Mortar University exploitation model; you can now get a Masters in Electrical Engineering from CU Boulder entirely via Coursera for $20k with installments and Financial Aid available where applicable, whereas that's not even the total cost of a single year of Undergraduate studies there. Which really sucks for incoming students, but could be a net boon if they can start reaching the undergrad degrees in time now that most Universities are having to do that due to COVID.

I just think its worth keeping in mind that this institution (academia) doesn't deserve to be regarded anything more than the corrupt money-pit that it is, which occasionally avails itself to allow brilliant minds to excel in their field, after having exploited them to publish and use their labs until the can make a name for themselves and operate outside of it. I just think about the wasted Human capital, talent, and drive that you only have when you're young, naive and idealistic and determined to make make a difference in the World.
An early heads up about what I am working on inside the neo.mjs context.

Please do not confuse this with multi page apps. It is like a SPA, where multiple browser windows can connect to a shared app worker.

```
onAppConnect(name) {
let me = this,
view;

console.log('onAppConnect', name);

switch (name) {
case 'Covid2':
view = me.getReference('controls-panel');

Neo.getComponent(view.parentId).remove(view, false);

Neo.apps[name].on('render', () => {
setTimeout(() => {
Neo.apps[name].mainViewInstance.add(view);
}, 100);
});
}
}

```

You will be able to move entire component tress into different windows. Without even needing to create new JS instances. As easy as this.
And sync multiple monitors to have the same brightness twice a day?

Even with brightness adjustments, working in complete dark at night the dark mode is much easier to use. The keyboard lights on the lowest level is a bit too bright in these conditions, white screens are a punch in the face for me.
> The union is something the workers create and run. If they think a union they create would be bad, what are they saying about themselves?

They think a union would be a bit like a homeowners association - in principle owned and run by them and never acting against their interests, but in practice a threat as much as an opportunity.
Data Partitioning for Amazon Athena Using Golang and AWS Lamda
Does it work on Safari? It has been initialize Shaders for the past 10 min.
I'm a strong believer in night light / f.lux / color temperature changes, but dark mode complements it nicely when working at night. Yes, it sucks to work at night when you need to go to bed. But there is a huge perceptual difference I can feel between f.lux + dark mode or f.flux without it. Using something like Dark Reader on Firefox/Chrome, you can achieve Internet-wide dark mode easily. I think this is ideal if you're in the unfortunate position of needing it. It may decrease legibility but it beats feeling like having ones retinas burned out at night.

Ah, I should have explained better. Page load isn't really my main concern. I used to embed dynamic graphs (Metabase or D3.js) and my laptop would lag like crazy plotting all of those points and allowing for hover tooltips (which were nifty but didn't provide me much utility). I use R in the backend and it plots 10,000 points in a fraction of a second. Web browsers only have to fetch and display an image.

If you have the skills to get the degree with 8 hours of work per day or to get the degree with 2 hours of work per day, getting the degree with the 2 hours of work does not mean you will not be able to do the job which will require you to do the 8 hours of work when you graduate.

These are decent tips without too much self promotion. The problem with VPNs is that all your internet traffic might get routed through your company depending on VPN-client and configuration as long as the connection is active. It is common for security purposes that it is set up this way. There is also the danger that you forget to switch it off and all your Twitter rants get captured by your corporate IT.

If you put all your work related stuff inside a VM however, you get a clean separation. No VPN client can capture the network connection from the host OS, so you are free to do the private stuff on your normal OS.

>From an antitrust perspective, giving away something for free isn't generally seen as benevolent, it is often seen as predatory. Microsoft got in a lot of trouble for giving away IE "for free." They did it to kill Netscape's business model.

It's predatory (dumping) if they lower prices to kill off competitors and then raise prices later. I don't see them doing that, at least with GMail; can't imagine them charging for it.

>A healthy market isn't one company giving things away for free, making their money indirectly, and squashing all competitors.

A healthy market is one that generates the most value for consumers. I don't see how consumers win if the government kills off all free email providers and forces people to pay for what they were previous getting for free.
