Disclaimer: I'm an amateur artist that at one point almost went to art school. Some professional artists talked me out of it and 20 years later I am still thankful.

Its such a well-known meme that attempting to become a professional artist by dropping $250k on a BFA is a fool's errand that I wouldn't feel bad about being an art teacher.

Now, if they make you lie about it and repeatedly tell students they are gonna be making 6 figures upon graduation that's a different story. That would be kind of unethical.

The advice that I got was basically this: If you live and breathe art, you will be a professional artist and a degree isn't going to have much of an impact on that. Make a portfolio, apply to jobs, and maybe some day you might want to take a few classes that seem interesting. There are no shortcuts to being a competent artist. Anyone CAN learn to draw/paint/sculpt incredibly well. Almost nobody will because it requires 1000s of hours of practice. Art school can't give you that passion. If you haven't already spent thousands of hours honing your craft, maybe you aren't passionate enough.

They were totally right. I like to draw once in a while, but I have other obsessions that I was passionate about, and I got incredibly good at those (good enough to land my dream job without a degree) while I merely liked the idea of being an artist.

Another critical bit of advice: Art is not like many other professions, the 80 year old painter is usually at the peak of his performance. Not only is he probably better than you, he's probably also much much faster at being good. If you do freelance work, he will be your competition.

That doesn't mean you can't make it, but you gotta find a niche that works for you and you it has to truly be something you are passionate about.
I've recently discovered The Hill (https://thehill.com/). It's very refreshing. No sensationalized language in titles and I haven't been able to detect a bias for the left or right. They seem to present information pretty objectively.
The irony of your generic complaint followed by overstatement about my what you believe to be my generic complaint is genuinely fun.

This isnt a character attack, it's a substantive attack. And you should care. This ego maniac has his sights set on being the representative talking "tech guy" at the highest form of culture. He was a featured guest on Joe Rogan spouting his empty rhetoric and he indirectly represents us.
This is exactly right. The government's case against Assange hinges in large part on alleging that he actively assisted Manning in obtaining the documents that were published.
wow this is incredibly insightful. Security Research could be a really good/niche starting point too.

Was WikiLeaks part of exposing Prism as well? Or was that mostly The Guardian?

I remember after 9/11 I grabbed a bunch of books about the Taliban from the library, and my dad said ‘look, the government is going to put you on a list now’, and I naively said ‘No dad, this is America’ (he was an immigrant).

Sad stuff, they did put people on a list.
it literally doesn’t matter what the original rationale for the naming was. impact outweighs intent. and if it impacts even one person, the intent just doesn’t matter.

> x = y+1; return x;

Funny you should use that specific example, because your analysis fails to account for the case where a) this is C or C++, b) y has a signed integer type, and c) its value is the maximum value of said type. In that case the behavior is, infamously, undefined, and anything can happen including accessing memory out of bounds. This is exactly the sort of corner case that fuzzing is designed to reveal. Formal analysis of the function would, of course, also flag the fact that the set of values of y for which the program is well-defined is not the entire domain of its type.
That applies to physical objects not information. One odd corner case in the US it’s legal to buy bootlegs but not make them.
It should be no surprise that these people might retire from military and join local state police and enjoy killing similarly less fortunate American citizens

> helicopter pilots exchange banter about the slaughter in the street below: ‘Ha, ha, I hit them,’ one says. ‘Oh yeah, look at those dead bastards,’ the other says. They have mistaken the camera held by one of the journalists for a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, unlikely though it was that armed insurgents would stand in the open in Baghdad with a US helicopter hovering overhead. They shoot again at the wounded as one of them, probably the Reuters assistant Saeed Chmagh, crawls towards a van that has stopped to rescue them. When the pilots are told over the radio that they have killed a number of Iraqi civilians and wounded two children, one of them says: ‘Well, it’s their fault for bringing their kids into the battle.’
Thanks for the feedback! I plan to add this shortly! Where did you get stuck?

> We don't need to, we know who their source was (Snowden). If Assange wants to claim he's a journalist, that's fine, but then he either needs to accept the consequences of protecting his sources, or out his sources.

Journalists are legally required to put their sources or they are on the hook?

I suggest you revisit the case history on this subject.
This is like...not even wrong.

Or better yet take the family photo sharing out of Facebook. I don't consider it a safe place for that. I just use Facebook for groups and events now. Family stuff goes through vzg.me or shared albums. But I agree within Facebook it would be cool to have them classify post types and let you filter: Family, Flamewar, Humblebrag, Meta

A developer of Symbiflow toolchain once described Lattice Semi as very friendly and cooperative towards them [1]. I was wondering why they suddenly changed their attitude. It may have been a clause that they introduced without giving much thought. Happy to see that at least one vendor has the right idea about tooling.

The opposite of "lockdown fatigue" could also happen where people get used to and better at carrying out the necessary restrictions and precautionary measures in their day to day life. There's just not enough hard evidence to be sure what factors would cause what effect in any un-controlled experimental setting.

Nevertheless, masks don't hurt so one should go with the Pascal's wager argument.
You could always have a lock file alongside the main to signal to other instances of the app that the file's in use. A bit janky, but workable.
The hypothetical scenario of "if they don't pay the ransom, the data is leaked, and they are now liable under GDPR and will likely have to pay a (very large) fine to the regulator for the data leak." has not materialized. The grandparent post is based on the thieves making an empty threat.

If criminals compromise your systems and steal data that you are legitimately storing in a reasonable manner, then the breach by itself is not a justification for any major fines under GDPR - but not reporting a data breach definitely is punishable.

Here's a recent example of a data breach in a telecom company- https://www.timelex.eu/en/blog/belgian-data-protection-autho... - "the data breach was correctly reported and that the company had taken appropriate organisational and technical measures. A data breach therefore does not necessarily give rise to a fine."

The only scenario where this threat might be real is if the breach would expose some previous wrongdoings, e.g. if the company was collecting the data in an illegal manner and had kept that fact hidden until the breach, if then, sure, that could be a valid basis for blackmail because the breach would suddenly expose the fact that you deserved some regulatory action long ago. Of course, any disgruntled employee also could try the same blackmail. However, if you're a legitimate company doing everything as required per law (including proper notification of data breaches), then the consequences of publishing that data would involve reputation costs and perhaps some civil claims for damages, but not any GDPR fines.

There's a potential for fines if breach happened because of your gross negligence, there's some precedent for that - for example, the Mariott data breach case. But again, the fines and their amount aren't automatic (the law just sets a ceiling), administrative proceedings take into account the circumstances and intent, all the largest fines assigned so far are significantly below the maximum. However, we should expect that the scenario of intentionally paying a ransom to hide the breach and "avoid the fines" would actually result in more severe penalties (because it checks pretty much all the boxes for aggravating circumstances) while properly handling a breach would result in reduced fines even if serious negligence was involved.
Surprising considering hardly anyone wore them.

My understanding is that shield laws are different in every state, but the US doesn't have any federal shield laws. Since Assange wasn't in a state when he made the leaks, he wouldn't be protected by state laws.

I also understand that no journalist has ever been successfully prosecuted, but no case has ever gone to the Supreme Court about it either.

My understanding about the Assange case in particular is that they are pursuing other crimes because they are more likely to stick and more likely to result in extradition. But that doesn't mean he's not guilty of other crimes.

I'm not a lawyer though, so if there is other information I'm missing, I'd definitely like to learn about it.
That is why they are torturing Manning. The problem for her is that the part of America supposed to help her is so tied into the Russian fiasco. No allies really.
I thought I cared about declarativeness, turns out I don't.
I totally misread this as "Julian Assange in a Lambo". Dyslexia for the win :)
It was really Greenwald and Poitras, and the Guardian just happened to be Greenwald's main outlet at the time. However WikiLeaks did help Snowden with his legal defense and flight to asylum in Russia.
What I'm saying is that when black people kill more than ten times more black people than cops kill black people, somebody is not wrong to ask why the focus should only be on the cops.
I'm pretty sure that that's covered under the option of "the machine itself", as that is a computer running an instance of the algorithm.

I'm actually a bit surprised that this legal territory is so poorly explored, I would have assumed that at least there would have been challenges, lawsuits, and court cases on the validity (and ownership) of copyright for procedurally generated artwork long before now (of course, this would still leave as an open question the issue of whether such a work infringes on works an AI was trained on).
> SQLite has much stronger backwards compatibility guarantees than PostgreSQL. We have to continue to support design errors made decades ago

Any plans for SQLite4 that will let you get a fresh start and break backwards compatibility so that you can simplify, correct design flaws, etc.? I saw this[0] so I'm guessing it'll just be SQLite3 for now.

That's the worst part, you never become really good.
This was no analogy, as my point illustrated - not any more than name dropping any atrocious historical event into the discussion for rhetorical shock value.

The article discussed here specifically builds a significant part of its argument on the way violence inside black communities is silenced because it does not fit the current narrative. The article does not talk about police brutality itself, but about the way reality is bent and picked to fit a minority viewpoint.
> I suggest you revisit the case history on this subject.

Can you point me at some links? I'm not a lawyer but my understanding is that shield laws are state by state, and there are no federal protections.
Who owns the product of an arthouse? Of a manufacturing plant? Of a farm?

The creators and/or owner of the algorithm own the product.

If they use it to train with other artists creation, that is the same as taking inspiration. If they release the alg open source, then its the same as any product that makes things, the maintainer of that instance owns the production of anything created from it.

I think the key is to document but not enforce unless it's really clear over time that enforcing leads to better quality. Strong documentation, loosely observed.
I'll try that, thanks. An additional complication was that virtualenv (the script) was bokred on that computer, but maybe pyenv would have helped.

Found it (Google didn't help at all) on page 19 of the oral history of David Ditzel at the computer history museum.

But I sort of remembered it wrong. Here he talks about having to switch from IBM but in page 16 he talks about the new lab not being able to make chips for a whole year as being the problem.

"In the end, Transmeta didn't make it, and I'll just say here I think it was not because of the technologies. It actually turned out to be manufacturing problems. We switched fabs. The fab we switched to actually had a problem, and couldn't actually make our chips for a year. We had to prove where the issue was in the fab, and what was happening. They're not happy if I speak too much about those details. But, the technology itself worked fine."

> In what way does being capable of considering multiple issues simultaneously require protest for all of these issues, or equal prominence for all of these issues?

Because that's what considering means. It takes more than just declaring that something is under consideration while not really paying attention to it or doing anything about it.

We don't actually consider all issues at once equally. That's why it makes sense to question their relative importance.
> Finally, there are very few cases where you should have a large number of Chrome tabs open anyway.

from what i observe in others, it seems that tabs get created when a new task needs to be done in the same site (that is already open) but dont want to loose context of the previous ones...

from my own personal experience, i like to reuse them as much as i can, but it gets harder as more and more get added, its easier to start from scratch and get a new tab open and go where i want to go...

i think browsers could be doing much more than just tabs and bookmarks to help people organize, because right now it seems like the equivalent of a desk with lots of papers strewn around where someone grabs yet another blank peice to start writing on...

While I don't really like JA, tend not to trust him, and disagree with a lot of his choices, it is unquestionable that he suffered a lot of injustice; while the public turned on him and continues to fall for simplified coverage of all matters involving him. The latest example, I believe, was the report on his life at the embassy and how he received the email archive in 2016.

[1] is the popular CNN version, while a week earlier El Pais reported [2] very differently on the very same material. And that still doesn't address CNN's suspicious depiction and emphasis of the evil hackers (German CCC members) who visited JA.

That reminds me, since the ECHR or CJEU—I don't remember which one—ruled that you can't sentence a person to prison forever, wouldn't it be inhumane to extradite someone when the potential degree of penalty is over 150 years?

What you have described basically is how you install Chrome and a lot of other commercially developed apps (e.g. MS Teams). At least it is in the RPM world and I thought it was for deb too.

You download the RPM and click it to 'execute' in your downloads. It opens in software Centre. That package sets up an extra repo and then installs the program you want from that repo.

Oh dear. You have falsely ascribed words to the guy and did not even acknowledge it when I brought it to your attention.

To the contrary you doubled down: this time you are saying that the editor was indifferent to raised concerns, despite the fact the he actually did acknowledge them and communicated that in his opinion other considerations overrule. That’s not indifference, that’s disagreement.
> Open source shouldn't be political

The more times you can bring people of different opinions and beliefs together, the more good can be done in the world.

The activists of today just divide people, and cause more net pain in the world than the moderates.

Deep down I think these kinds of divisive activists are actually just fighting their own personal deamons and need a way to vent their anger, because their real personal problems in life are unchangeable.
I was expecting some math but there is only a norm, I would be more interested in how to transfer from advanced math to code. example : what would be a good code abstraction for a Borel Space
I have read arguments that unsanitary masks, for example, resuing masks without cleaning them properly (which I have been told is at +90 degees Celsius) is not a healthy practice. But to make a policy, one has to measure the risks from not wearing masks (eventual Covid infection) vs risks of wearing masks (bacterial infection). At the time of peak infection rates, it was sensible that the former risk was higher hence the policy for mandatory masks was necessary. But during current low infection rate period, policy might need to be reformed after calculating the two risks again. Hence the dissatisfactory mood of the public "For how long will this go on?"

Of course then there are non-physical risks like social perception, social relationships, discomfort and so on and so forth which are more difficult to quantify.

Journalism source protection under EU does not look kind to forcing journalist to out sources. The European Court of Human Rights have already ruled against the United Kingdom High Court on a case where UK tried to demand journalist to out sources. It is in a very bad style and not very civilized to go after journalists and demand that they out their sources.

I think he means "ravie" or "ravle".
