I'm not saying you're wrong,but what was the deal with the lesbian author who was arrested for her books? There was this webcomic I read called 他们的故事 which is about a lesbian high school couple which has gone nowhere plot wise, and someone told me the reason why they stopped focusing on the romance part of the story is it was the author's reaction to the news about the erotic novel author getting arrested.
Python 3 was released in 2008, Python 2.7 had some kind of release last year but my memory is that up to about 2013 there was still a serious question of 2.7 vs 3 when you started a new project ("I know we should use 3, but then we can't have x-lib!").

So it happened once but it took up about 25% of the last 20 years.
This. Human rights are universal rights regardless of who attempts to exert control. Government is in particular interesting because of its monopoly in violence, but other powerful actors and groups need to be responsible and accountable as well.
We also don't know what the long-term fallout is going to be. Natural gas has been unusually cheap recently because it's a byproduct of fracking for oil. But low demand for oil means less demand for fracking which mean less natural gas production.

It's really hard to predict where prices are going to be in a year, because you really have to predict how well the oil industry can predict future demand in this environment. If they shut down too much production and then demand comes back there could be a price spike. If they expect a quick recovery and are wrong, prices could remain on the floor for a good while.

And particularly, that election was in the middle of the southern strategy switch, and the Democratic party didn't define itself as the left wing of acceptable politics in the nation as it does today. Particularly the Southern Democrats hadn't overwhelmingly converted over to Republicans yet. It was only after the Civil Rights Act was passed (which was six days into the race riots mentioned, so real actionable change that came from them) that the Dixiecrats really started switching, and that took time (a few elections worth).
Yes. The entire backend to my startup is Perl 5 (Mojolicious) + postgresql (albeit the postgresql part is obviously more important).
Your first example isn't about speech. The school had a policy of a white absence day (which is batshit, but whatever) and he expressly violated that as an act of protest and got fired for breaking the rules. He'd been clearly opposed to it from the start and not censored.

Be very careful with that second link, that story was spun like crazy in conservative circles, and even weeks later it's impossible to find an account of what happened from anything other than the lecturer's perspective. I mean, that Free Beacon story is one of the worst examples: find me anywhere in that story that quotes a student or explains what they were upset about. The go to Google News and search for the guy's name, and you find a giant list of stories from conservative outlets (and none from mainstream sources) all with the same odd skew to the reporting. I think the jury is still out about what exactly was offensive, I'm guessing it wasn't just because he read an MLK speech. UCLA has not said anything yet.

The David Shor one is a good example though. Something crazy happened there and no one understands why he was fired.

The online marketplace have more accountability. You know who you are buying from. Buy from name brand and you get name brand. Buy from nane brand (did you notice the n not M?) and you get from nane brand. This gives name brands lawyers someone to send their lawyers after and traceability if there is fraud. With Amazon cominguled good you don't know where the counterfeit came from so you can't play wack-a-mole with fraud. It just keeps happening.
The point of locking down everyone is to slow down the spread of the virus through the entire population, which protects the high-risk people from accidental exposure, until a vaccine can be developed and deployed. That way we get herd immunity without killing the percentage of people who can't survive a full infection, but will be just fine with a vaccination.

Having healthy people isolated is not about protecting the healthy people. It's about stopping the healthy people from spreading the disease to the high-risk people.

Quarantine should have been managed at the federal level. Instead we have seen 50 states each acting like their own country despite their codependence with, a paralyzed, executive and legislative branches. Had the us acted in January this would have blown over with few deaths. These lost lives now should weigh on the minds of our elected officials who resisted quarantine, who used this crisis for personal gain, who diminished the severity, etc.

Quarantine may be over in some places but strong restrictions are still exist in many. Which is more evidence for why pandemic response should have a top down coordination team.

Deaths may equal out to worst case predictions, in which case all of America failed.

What is consciousness, and what unique non-tautological properties does it give us?

I know of the general idea of consciousness, but I can’t boil it down to first principles. Self-awareness, on the other hand, is more tangible. AI would seem capable of internal cognition, reflection on past experiences, etc...They might not have the desire or need for such reflection, but they would certainly have the ability.
You can create building blocks of unlimited complexity or pure simplicity.

The key lies in your choice of primitives. Do you start off with a set primitives that are extremely complex or a set primitives that are simple but complete in the sense that you can build entities of unlimited complexity by composing simpler primitives?

I would say the latter method is easier. But there's no reason why the former method won't work. Biological evolution has built many examples of working machines with primitives of unimaginable complexity.
Whenever this topic comes up, there are always a lot of comments to the effect of "facebook isn't the problem, you are". Maybe it is best to think of facebook like sugary food. Many people have no trouble having one piece of chocolate and then leaving the rest for later. Many other people are unable to stop themselves from downing the whole 200g block.

I think these comments come from people who have no trouble engaging with facebook without any unhealthy habits forming. But there are people who are unable to engage with facebook in a healthy way. I personally struggle with facebook's newsfeed and have to put up some serious barriers to ensure I don't waste an hour of my day looking at it. Presumably many of the negative comments about how terrible facebook is come from people like me.

The first step to helping those who are impacted negatively is to acknowledge that there is a real problem here. The next is to attack the problem with various solutions. Some of them facebook will not like.

It has done very little to protect the high risk people I know, who are all going back to work soon, and nothing for any high risk people who worked in an essential service. I know of an 60ish year old person who was sent back to work at his meat packing plant less than 14 days after testing positive for covid because his life apparently didn't matter. If any of them had quit, they would have lost eligibility for any government support and ended up homeless
Yes, I switched from an oil burner (#2 heating oil) to a high efficiency natural gas boiler. The other key ingredient is that the oil boiler was 20 years old and did not have "cold start" (so it always keeps itself at temp even in the summer).

Any modern boiler (gas or oil) will almost certainly be cold start, so it only fires when there's a call for heat. This alone probably saves a gallon of oil a day at least.
That's all well and good, but as a privacy-conscious user I still want to (a) know about it and (b) be able to control/disable it.

You've touched on a slightly interesting topic. HTML has never had strict parsing requirements, for example, it was completely permissible in HTML4 to leave a tag unclosed if you subsequently opened a tag which could not be nested (as in your example of two <li>s in a row). Containers have always been implicit in most cases, so it's perfectly acceptable to start a table row without having started a table, the parser will start the table when it encounters the row. This is ultimately because HTML is derived from SGML, a markup standard that is visually similar to XML but with very relaxed parsing.

However, HTML4.1 for a time faded in popularity compared to XHTML, which was an "HTML-like" markup derived from XML rather than SGML. XML has significantly stricter parsing rules, for example always requiring full closing tags, trailing slashes on self-closing tags, etc.

XHTML's popularity seems to have been in large part a result of the IE6 backlash. Problems with web standards were widely perceived as a high priority for the web. This was the time period in which people kept putting "W3C Compliant HTML" badges in their footers. Because XHTML had stricter parsing rules, it fit into the general scheme of emphasizing web markup that was "correct" by allowing for strict automatic validation. Because it was XML-compliant it also fit nicely into both the popular-at-the-time "Semantic Web" (e.g. XHTML documents could be validated against XML DTDs/schemas) and dovetailed with browser support for XSLT (in which case a document could be sent to the browser as semantic XML with an XSLT "style sheet" for transformation to XHTML for presentation), which was one of those things that seemed like "the future" for about five minutes. I had done my personal website that way for a hot minute.

XHTML's vogue was somewhat short-lived, while it was a big part of the "web" scene in e.g. 2007, it was largely forgotten the moment HTML5 because available. What seems to have survived from XHTML, though, is a much stricter approach to writing SGML being seen as more or less required. I think a lot of people "grew up" on XHTML, quite possibly unknowingly, and so errantly view HTML itself as XLM with the subsequent parsing rules.

As always, there is often value in being explicit and verbose in markup in terms of maintainability. But in a lot of cases readability and maintainability are not harmed or even improved by saving some typing... as in cases like lists and tables.

That said, a big part of the phenomena is that hand-writing or reading HTML is decidedly out of vogue today, and so in general the readability quality of most HTML on the web is extremely poor, generally a result of it being generated by templating or composable component systems which often abandon basic indentation, as well as by the popularity of frameworks with unusual use of HTML such as non-semantic class-driven CSS frameworks. Of course this phenomena isn't entirely new, FrontPage and DreamWeaver were popular in their day and generated some pretty terrible markup, but it seems to have become more common, rather than less, for HTML to be machine-generated and thus extremely unpleasing to humans.

I frequently implement such features.

Of course it's not the code itself that is complicated, but what do you want the overall system behavior to be (are there upstream/downstream/breaking effects?) and why. And do you understand the system well enough to know the right way to make the change - sure it only took you 2 minutes to code it but that's because you already understood the system well enough to know the right place to change the behavior.

Not sure where the hostility is coming from. I didn’t read anything disparaging about Haskell in hencq’s comment. He/she just made a factual statement about Clojure’s approach to data types being analogous to Unix/strings when it comes to composition.

It comes with the same drawbacks (the lack of static typing is similar to strings with Unix; you have to be aware of the details of the data coming in and out because there is no type system to save you - unlike Haskell), but the benefit is easier composition.
I would hate being a newbie in PoE now a days. The game has gotten so bloated and ridiculously complex that it would take months to sort of grasp all the different league mechanics.

I honestly can't wait for Diablo 4 as a PoE veteran since beta, I just don't agree with most of the recent design decisions. Lack of visual clarity, mechanical clunkiness with movement skills, rng on rng on rng mechanics (just progressing through maps can be incredibly frustrating if you're on a dry spell and can't even get maps to drop).

It's almost as if the devs are intentionally creating frustrating mechanics, in a game...

Nope. You're wrong. Where do you think your MRs or your sibling comparisons are coming from? You're not getting anywhere with weak instruments from a few significant hits. You're also wrong that the only thing of value is inferring "how genes work", and that is the sort of extremely blinkered mechanism-centric attitude which blinded people to GWASes working, because gosh, it would be awful if polygenicity was true, because how would we build any 'scientific theories' on this? (Cue Turkheimer.) And yes, those PGSes are useful for all sorts of things like selective sweeps, enrichments, and clinical instruments, because of incremental validity. (By the way, what does '15% heritability' refer to? I sure hope that, since you're claiming to be an expert here, you aren't confusing heritability with PGS power, like so many supposed human geneticists insist on doing...)
As I tried to indicate, the microbenchmark-guided unrolled loops look better than the simple `rep` instruction because the benchmarks aren't realistic. They don't suffer from mispredicted branches, they don't experience icache pressure. Basically the microarchitectural reality is absent in a small benchmark.

There's also the fact that `rep` startup cost was higher in the past than it is now. I think it started to get really fast around Ivy Bridge.

This is all discussed in Intel's optimization manual, by the way.

The delay in deaths is due to the impotent response by many elected leaders, and the propaganda they've used to support their asinine decisions.

The cost is due to officials using a crisis to benefit themselves. Only people should be bailed out. Let the free market take care of companies that have leveraged themselves off the cliff.

> Instagram, on the other side, is a different beast. Even with the strong push by FB in order to monetize the network, I think that fact that people can't easily share other people's post, and are kind of forced to post their own material still makes it an interesting place.

>As long as instagram does not allow reposting, I think it'll maintain a certain degree of quality.

This is a fascinating insight I never considered. Disabling reposting results in higher quality, higher-effort discourse. Trashy memes and fake news can’t spread as rapidly or at all without the ability to easily, mindlessly repost them millions of times. It’s like a circuit breaker to our lizard brain, forcing us to actually think about what we’re doing instead of thoughtlessly queuing up another dopamine hit with a quick repost.

As someone who clearly saw the shortcomings of facebook from the get go and as a consequence never bother to register, I wonder what are the upsides you mention.

Facebook is mostly a birthday reminder feature hidden in a glorified walled garden email, its whole point is vacuuming personal data and find ways to make as much profit as possible with it.

IMHO email is vastly superior to facebook as it is open and offers interoperability.
I think choosing a community-run distro rather than corporate-run one is probably more key than being 'mainstream' or not. (Though Void Linux is my distro of preference as well.)

For me it's because I just don't trust Microsoft anymore. Whats stopping them from using their broad powers under their EULA from collecting information about any device on my network that will respond to the Windows 10 machine's request? The amount of telemetry they force you to accept just to use Windows 10 is unacceptable. If I want a local user account without the OS phoning home for anything other than Windows Update, I should be able to do that. Instead, on a default install of Windows 10 Pro, which I bought a license for, I get tons of preinstalled crapware / links to install said crapware, a barrage of attempts to convert my local user account to a Microsoft account, an antivirus tool that's so aggressive that some of my software development tools have had to include directions for whitelisting their cache directories, and just this persistent worry that Microsoft will push out the next update and break my PC or start collecting new data, or re-enabling things I've already disabled.

My ideal Windows 10 setup would be basically Windows 7 + a wizard of 'Do you want this feature / telemetry' that actually respects my answers.
Well, I'm tempted to setup my own self hosted git repository now, because I really don't like the way it looks and how the information is organized.

Having the latest release on the side is not really a gain, it should be at the top center, not on the side bar. I really prefer the way it was before with a bar having the license and releases and so on. They could have just added the release number there instead of making a terrible layout.
Are you on the new OS seed build?
That's not how I read it:

"The establishment of the attorney-client relationship involves two elements: a person seeks advice or assistance from an attorney; and the attorney appears to give, agrees to give or gives the advice or assistance[1]"

and

"That “special relationship” between an attorney and his/her client is generally established by mutual assent/consent. This is most often confirmed by a written “retainer”[2]"

Other states have similar determinants.

I'm pretty skeptical of your assertions, here's why I think this will be big:

Many people aren't even going to try to do anything involving code, and it doesn't matter if they could if they tried, because they won't.

Lots gets lost in communicating with a developer.

Creating one of these honey comb things is going to force who is working on it to be precise, in a much better way than talking to a dev (or writing a story). In no small part because one can play and experiment without being intimidated by a dev. It might be buggy but the feedback loop is tight, the creator can see errors and fix them fairly immediately.

The result probably won't be beautiful, but neither is anything I end up producing.
