>> But on a mountain, sometimes it is black and white, right? I mean, you can be as rah-rah relativism as you want, but sometimes the world makes it very clear that you’ve made a mistake. All else being equal, if you survive and the other guy doesn’t, your decision was right and his was wrong.

>> Yeah. But I make a point of not judging people. You can’t go up to them and say, “Nyah, nyah, I was right and you were wrong.”

Especially if the other guy doesn't survive. Then, no, you can't go up to them and say that. I mean, presumably if they're dead they didn't even come back down the mountain, so what are you going to do? Climb back up and thumb your nose at them?
Haven't really used it enough to say. I used it to work on a Ruby on Rails app that I used to dual boot exclusively for and it was seamless and fast.
>Anyway, I'm not going to debate whether such a person exists.

Of course, because you made up that person. You made up the problem. Can you quantify how many people are being prevented for caucusing because they can't take a day off? What are we talking about here, apart from imaginary situations?

>If you think there exists such people, but it's a small enough set that the merits of a caucus outweigh the disenfranchisement of that set, we can discuss that.

That is the argument. It's a big country with hundreds of millions of people. Lots of things are happening all the time. I'm sure a person broke their leg and couldn't caucus, or they found out they were pregnant and were distraught, or their mother recently died, or they couldn't take a day off work, or they don't care enough. So what?! There's an election every 2 years. There are local, state, and federal elections. If you miss one caucus because of life, it's not the end of the world, life happens. Go to the next one. Besides, it's a representative democracy, a single voter isn't dictating policy. Your neighbours and like-minded voters will be pushing for policies you care about. In Democracy, it takes a long time for people to be converted to a new position, so it takes years of grassroots organizing to enact change because every person has their own ideas.

Jesus Christ, you're making it seem like it's China where nobody is able to vote. Or as if it is a crime against humanity if a life event prevents some individual from participating at some political event - to the extent where we need to reform the entire system that worked well for hundreds of years. And by the way, life will happen no matter which way you redesign voting and democracy.

- Reach out to your contact list, any relevant person that might know someone

- Reach out to UI/UX meetups, most of them will allow you to make an announcement or post a message somewhere

- Finally, go to some gig-based website, PeoplePerHour/Upwork/etc, start with a small contract there and as time passes you can both see if you want to get continue full time
That's not pedantic, it's a good comment. I had the same thought when reading the article and wondered if others were wondering the same.

I know that, but the point remains that the supply chain has not “recovered” in any meaningful sense. Capitalism, in fact, guarantees it will not (too expensive to switch production from commercial to residential TP). We’re going to be seeing this phenomenon until people can go back to work.

Unless you are using a VPN/Wireguard/Proxy your ISP can simply look at the source address on the IP packets and do a reverse IP lookup to find out what site you are accessing. Doesn't matter if you are using DoH, DNS over TLS, DNSCRYPT, etc....

At a conference I was talking to one of the OpenDNS engineers on the DoH project and when I asked "so how does DoH help snooping if people can just look at IP headers?" they conceded that it really doesn't help if someone is determined to snoop.
Yep, I was trained by the US Navy to perform electronics calibration, and basically learned how to troubleshoot and fix almost any electronic device (given schematics and a manual) in about 9 months of training, total.
We're also making hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines that may not work just like HCQ. Is that dumb? I certainly don't think so. It's a fast moving situation and if something MAY show promise, it makes sense to obtain a ton of it.

Stop trying to make an issue out of nothing.
At some point, there was a whole panic about people using the OK hand symbol and how it was a secret Nazi symbol.. and even ADL had to say to slow down and look at context [^1].

Context matters. Yes, the Nazi's used a red triangle. So does the emoji standard. It's also the symbol for family planning [^2]. It's.. a pretty generic symbol as symbols go. If you're going to make the claim this is a secret Nazi power move... well, you're gonna have to provide the evidence because you're making a spectacular kind of claim.

So, it's an anti-pattern of an architecture.
This has been considered. For example, Virginia greatly restricted cul-de-sacs[1], and my understanding is that the mechanism by which they accomplished this is changing the rules so that only "through streets" would be eligible for public maintenance going forward, hence if you had a cul-de-sac or private loop road or something you had to maintain it yourself. But I think that's only forward-looking, it doesn't change things for all the private roadways built in the past.

I looked at the book and it is. His way is perhaps useful for not scaring off amateurs from learning quantum theories, but ultimately he is tricking them into learning a part of linear algebra without a foundation upon which more complex concepts can be built.
Thinly veiled political agenda
Engineers should understand the underlying physics plus know how to use it for something useful. There are degrees such as "electrical engineering technology", which cut out the harder fundamentals (and advanced classes that require it) and just focus on things you can do with current technology. Such skills become obsolete faster as technology changes.
70% infection Suggests a LOT of pre-existing immunity.

Moreover, even if 100% antibody + rates does not rule out a lot of pre-existing immunity. If I am naturally resistant to coronavirus (e.g., COVID patient sneezes in my face and I get a mild fever 10 days later), I'll probably develop antibodies from an exposure and otherwise be fine, I'd call that pretty damn good pre-existing immunity. According to your logic, that would be "no [pre-]existing immunity at all."

Are you serious? Crimean population difference between 2001 and 2014 censuses is less than 5%. And considering that population was slowly dwindling since 90s, number of people who left from Crimea to Ukraine is even less than that. Can you provide any sources claiming that more than 6 people have died in Crimea during 2014 events?

I think you are trying to confuse others with numbers describing the Donbas conflict, not the "annexation" as implied in your message. A really low effort fallacy I must say.
That's your entire answer? Get insurance? Pretty inadequate for a discussion that's shifted to what's moral and not. People don't carry insurance on everything. A business, maybe, but I picked that as an example through which I could more easily illustrate the point. Same thing applies to a television.
I think like any company of a decent size, the truth is it depends. On the team, particular individual etc. At least in the engineering side of things, I haven't seen a culture of fear. There is a bit of anxiety going in, because of the reputation, but pretty soon I realized it was pretty exaggerated.
It’s better to have a stockpile of things that might work than to not have a stockpile of something if it’s revealed to work and suddenly there’s a scramble for that resource.

We need to accept the government wasting money in disaster preparedness if we want to ever actually be prepared.

Yup!

I hear people ask "Why weren't we ready for Covid?". Then in the next breath ask "Why are we stockpiling a drug that doesn't work for Covid?".
One thing the segment registers are still used for are thread local storage (on Linux). So you read data from FS (different per thread) segment but same address, if you've prefixed your variable with __thread.

(Having said that, I remember optimizing thread local storage away by explicit pointers some time ago in my code, because it was calling some function to get the address constantly, so maybe there are some subtleties there)
Wat? We are discussing the "annexation of Crimea", not the larger context. I just provided examples for comparison to show that the "annexation" itself is indeed can be called "effectively bloodless".
Funny that the first sentence of your comment also contains 14 words. I'm not saying it's also a coincidence in the ad, but trying to do numerology without statistics is pointless. A big pile of examples isn't statistics.
It being the first that comes to mind doesn't make it the simplest, because its implications must be considered as part of the explanation.
It's also a design problem. There are perfectly adequate designs that cost a lot less and function just as well, but if something isn't part of the official standard it generally can't be used. The official standards are set with a lot of industry involvement, and unsurprisingly they're not focused on being cheap.
The other icons used in the campaign are very generic. Even my Telegram has such a triangle not too far away from the also used "slow emoji". Another explanation could be that it is used by the antifa. It might not be as prominent as the flags, but it is a first-page hit on an image-search and I have seen that symbol multiple times.

At the very least it is not plausible at all that the trump campaign intentionally and openly uses Nazi iconography to mark them as to be gassed, using an additional 88 (=...) symbol in tandem. That is not plausible. In particular because of the source.

In a day or two this will be officially proven to be a complete lie, but no one will care. And submissions to document this will be ignored like they always are.
> China is working its ass off while we're looting on the street because BLM, or we're fighting for LGBTQ to make sure it is something you should take PRIDE in.

Yeah, the march of orderly progress in China isn't ever obstructed by internal social problems. (And if you disagree, you will be reeducated if you aren't first crushed under the tank treads of orderly progress.)

But it's interesting how the defenders of the American Right are so ready to lavish irrational praise on (even nominally “Communist”) authoritarian regimes, including those they paint (often accurately) as dangerous competitors abroad, just like their Dear Leader is.

> USA is hijacked by the left and socialism

Much as I'd like that to be the case, at least if it was democratic socialism, it is really just that it was taken over by the far right, but the way they've been running the show has managed to alienate much of even the solid-but-not-far-right, leaving the far-right isolated without it's less extreme erstwhile allies; calling everyone who doesn't support them “left” and “socialist” is reflexive, but not accurate.
And we are about to do exactly the same thing with vaccines, to preemptively produce them before we even know they are safe or useful.
Yes, but that doesn't mean those people won't go on to develop antibodies if exposed to a significant dose, e.g., in a tightly packed community. It means they don't need to already have the antibodies to have a pre-existing level of resistance. It takes weeks to develop an antibody response from scratch.
There’s a lot of gross stuff that your ISPs (which includes your mobile phone provider) do to further monetize your relationship with them, and having a VPN can negate that.

ISPs can observe your DNS lookups to their servers and assemble a profile on you based on the domain names you look up, and put you into a series of audiences that marketers can then use (for a fee) for ad targeting.

ISPs can also observer your DNS lookups to Google’s or anyone else’s public DNS servers.

ISPs can snoop on your unencrypted traffic, proxy it, and inject headers into HTTP responses to facilitate (you guessed it) the creation and sale of audience data to advertisers.

ISPs can transcode (and downsample) multimedia content to decongest their pipes or airwaves.

If you are a spy or a member of a disfavored political group, you should almost appreciate the scummy practices of ISPs, as it drives a bunch of non-spies and people not associated with disfavored political groups to adopt privacy-enhancing technologies.

If I worked at the NSA or CIA or FSB or Mossad or wherever, I would highly encourage lawmakers to enact laws to protect consumer privacy in order to drastically reduce the perceived need for people not in the above groups (et alia) to adopt VPNs and other technologies; there would be fewer “boring” people using such technologies, giving the needles a lot less haystack to get lost in.
Objectively you are right, subjectively I think what matters is short term contrast. 535 vs 536 has a much steeped drop in quality of life than 542 vs 543.
The cold weather would kill crops in all but probably tropical latitudes. The lack of sunlight will slow plant growth. Placing plants in greenhouses / growhouses would keep them warm and you could supplement sunlight with LED lighting to feed the plants.
Yes, but that doesn't really contradict what I said. As long as manufacturers are willing to support Linux for their products even those that require special hardware, and in spite of having a closed driver this is possible and will work very well, so well that an entire profession can be better supported on Linux than on Windows. And that's very interesting, especially given that CUDA is an outflow of gaming hardware which was better supported on Windows.
You can use those software repositories through WSL2, using apt as per usual. And Windows now has WinGet so you can install software just like you would with apt/yum/pacman etc.

It's definitely not as robust - you can't uninstall stuff using WinGet but the concept is there.
How susceptible are we to another catastrophic volcano eruption? We're apparently not very susceptible to a few degrees of global cooling, so at least we have that going for us.
Good to know, but I fled CapOne a year ago because they stopped supporting OFA and broke Moneydance transaction downloading. And, I hate what their website has become since the acquisition of Ing. Ing was great, I wish they never sold to CapOne.

What's an effective strategy to combat this? Will re-encoding all externally sourced videos work or do you have to do something else?

I'm not familiar with attacks against video codecs. I always assumed that malicious videos would use buffer overflows injected into metadata for videos (or subtitles). But if they can be injected into video streams directly, will they carry over when re-encoded?

I wasn't making any comparison in particular I just think that not allowing doctors to access the material needed to help their patients in order to suppress the flow of information is a good microcosm of soviet society.

The US was no saint during the Cold War but the Soviet Union was so much worse. Trivial Example: Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen are still alive, but the people they betrayed were executed in the basement of the Lubyanka - without trial.

> While the times are definitely changing, a lot of people are still very averse to finding a new workplace.

This is one thing I've coached career-focused and executive aspiring women on.

If they are worried about being assertive and being called a "bitch" at their current organization then they are already playing at a disadvantage.

The competition is full of men that got called "cocky" and self absorbed at many organizations, before landing in one at a senior level in a different place that needed someone new to shake things up or "make the hard decisions".

I don't really see that factored in to the outcomes.

Whether this idea results in a bunch of women finding that no organization wants their assertive attitude? Time will tell. A level playing field definitely involves normalizing behavior.

http://zudvpn.com does not provide complete anonymity. The idea is that you control your own server and you make sure that nobody is logging your every move. Even though public VPNs claim that they don't log, you should not blindly trust them.

Check GH repo to see how https://ZudVPN.com generates SSH key on your phone and locks the VPN server with the key that is only available for you.
I’ve been speedtesting a few VPN networks, and the biggest surprise has been how fast Mullvad + Wireguard are. I need to try NordLynx (NordVPN’s flavor of Wireguard) for more of an apples-to-apples comparison, but at least on the speed metric, it looks like Mozilla chose a good partner.

Making deeper data exploration possible is a work in progress, but you can see what I have so far here: https://vpnwire.co
Namecheap vs. Facebook on Privacy
Yeah, I think "VPNs won't protect you from the law" is far too broad a brush to paint with. There's no credible evidence that these services won't prevent a court or regular law enforcement from tracing an IP to a name without some specific arrangement to unmask you beforehand (there's a specific case where Private Internet Access replied to a subpoena saying they had nothing to provide), so people worried about that might benefit from a VPN, but of course it does nothing for the rest of the threat model. Torrents are pretty much the perfect crime in that it's a simple exchange of bits between parties that have nothing to do with each other, most other types of illegal activity involve myriad other ways to get caught that have nothing to do with a VPN. People who rely on VPNs alone to protect them from getting prosecuted for things like hacking and people who say VPNs are useless are wrong in exactly the same way: they don't have a complete/realistic threat model.
I'm currently working from home, accessing my Windows 10 desktop machine in the office via Microsoft's own Remote Desktop over a VPN connection. This works fine on my old 1920x1280 17" laptop, but connecting from my new 4k 15" laptop runs into quite a few edge cases, and plugging an external non-4k monitor has led to at least two unworkable situations.

I've now reverted to RDP-ing from my old laptop, and using the newer one for video calls, scrum boards, Spotify and other stuff that doesn't require a VPN connection or access to my dev machine. It mostly works OK in that configuration.

I've seen other weird things happen when using other Terminal Services clients, though.

Apple is both the developer of Apple Music and the operator of the iOS App Store.

Apple's Apple Music app is using a tactic on the Google App Store, while Apple's iOS App Store is blocking certain third parties from doing the same.

The implication isn't "Apple Music should be barred" but rather "If Apple is working around the 30% cut in other companies' walled gardens, maybe they shouldn't be blocking apps that try to do the same to Apple's 30% cut in Apple's iOS store"

> USA is hijacked by the left and socialism and is on its way to hell, with China is catching up, our days are numbered.

Lmaoooooo. Socialism isn't even remotely a thing in america as decades after the cold war, propaganda of the red scare is effective amongst large swaths of the population. Then again you probably think socialism is the the government does stuff.

But ha you're right, Americans should just suck it up, and accept extrajudicial educations and power abuses because american exceptionalism means we always need to be #1.
Then it should be easy to demonstrate using some indisputably innocuous control group. Have at it.
