So there's this thing called a wave, and waves with wavelengths that form a simple ratio interact to form periodic waveforms that are observably stable.

Yes, exactly. I could tell that Ansible could do it but so much of the documentation assumed you would be using it with a fleet that I eventually gave up figuring it out.
> Private company tells other private company which speech they should be censoring

Welcome to the new era of information folks. You thought private companies were too powerful before, well, guess what? You've now given them the power to control almost all forms of communication.

"But, but, private companies should be able to decide who they want on their platform! What about the free market?"

Wake the hell up. Read up on monopoly. And then read about the network effect. And then go and try starting your own social network that believes in freedom of speech, and convince 1 billion people to join. Then come back and tell me that the private communication industry is a free market.
I'm not even sure how accurate the map is, though. St. Petersburg is at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland, and it would seem that it should be in the same square as Helsinki. St. Petersburg is definitely bigger.

I guess it ends up in the same square with Moscow and thus doesn't show up but either the map doesn't show the shoreline of the sea very accurately at all or it's wrong about the location of St. Petersburg.
This is good, Intel won't fix the CPU in my old Thinkpad W701ds because it's too old now for a firmware upgrade I guess. But the thing is not only more than fast enough for today's use, it also has 32GB RAM and I just got a couple new Chinese batteries for it. There's no way I'm switching from it, you can't even get a real keyboard in a laptop any more.

If operating systems start to beef up security more aggressively then I won't have to worry so much about having old microcode. OpenBSD is ahead of Linux on this too afaicr, sadly though it doesn't like the Nvidia GPU in my computer.
Bitcoin ATMs probably have surveillance cameras.
They continue to attempt to try to associate your connections/use dns cookies. CtrlF 'pixel' when you are visiting one of their pages (not frontpage)

They also attempt to correlate .onion traffic.
Sometimes things or people change. Something or someone that would have taken advantage of you before, learns its lesson and becomes trustworthy.

When it comes to things that you are bigger than, things which you can stop if need be, giving second chances is noble. But when it comes to things that are bigger than you, things you can't change at all, one chance is all they should ever get.

Verizon does not "respond [...] to public pressure," they just have a PR team that is leveraging some current narrative for their own benefit. They aren't changing, and they will never love you back.
The the phrase "shouting fire in a crowded theater" has am interesting history.

It does not come from an an actual precedent, but dates back to a supreme court decision that prohibited political speech on opposition to the draft during WWI.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouting_fire_in_a_crowded_t...

In my opinion, the unanimous decision on that case is a travesty and the use of the term to justify abrogating free speech indicates a lack of understanding of the history of the government abrogating free speech when it serves their interests rather than for the common good.
I hate when Quora pops up from searching for something. I loathe Quora and wish they never existed. They make searching for things a lot more annoying.
Thanks for the deets :)

I was under the impression you were using skipping-locomotion as exercise, rather than running or skipping rope. I was wondering if that was a thing... skipping for exercise.

I had naively thought the term “Apps” was coined by Apple during the initial iPhone release, as it had been called “Applications” on the Mac ever since the time I had switched (from XP to OSX Tiger).

Seeing the Archimedes screenshot with “Apps” in the taskbar made me realize I was sorely wrong. Does anyone have any interesting history on who was first to start using “Apps”?

That is a fabulous article.

I also love Caddy. In fact, you can run it on Fly.io (and even opt out of our TLS/cert stack). I would love it if it could just put certs in Vault, though.
If you can work remotely, I’d recommend it. I did that in summer 2018 and I don’t regret it. Also, it seems that the value of property in the cities adjacent to the focal points of the Bay Area is going up. The value of my house went up 7% while the value of property in the main cities is depreciating.
This is written by a theorist so they do leave the important bit out. Of course, you know just from fourier analysis the uncertainty principle. The thing is treating photons as plane waves is an approximation (a fine one for most things, particularly theoretical calculations). A better approximation is thinking of photons as wave packets that thus have some localization but not so defined as to make their bandwidth too wide (so they can be considered monochromatic).

The important thing to remember is that photons, like the very idea of a planewave is always an idealized approximation.
I'm originally from the Midwest, so I moved back with my parents for a bit of time. Luckily, I'm a massive minimalist so it was easy for me to just pack up and drive across the country without any issues.

I'd like to come back, but my company has consider allowing me to stay here. If it's with the same pay, it would be a no-brainer. But I do love/will miss the Bay Area. I'll probably be back when I'm a bit more financially stable.
In my experience, there are a lot of cryptocurrency detractors that don't understand that the crux of their stance is essentially privilege.
You stated "all this seems absurd". An accurate description of American politics. I don't think you're missing anything.
If Trump got a swastika face tattoo and posted a video of himself goose stepping on the white house lawn, do you think we should see that, or should the media censor and hide that from us?
He also said he asked to slow coronavirus testing down. When his staff said we were misinterpreting him, he corrected his staff and said he said what he meant. He also used racial slurs to describe coronavirus. How many gaffes before we stop presuming good intent?
Show me one censored transaction please. Miners should collude to censor transactions and there are hundreds of thousands of miners.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. Questions that they pay for are generally of poor quality. When you pay for something, people rush in to produce as much quantity as they can. Even if they are also attracting good ones, they can be hard to find in the onslaught.
Monero miners cannot see the sender address, the receiver address, or the transaction amount. I don't know if they finished Dandelion which is supposed to remove the link between the transaction and the IP submitting it. As far as I know, without Dandelion, it can be censored by IP address if the people running the miners are paying attention to that part of the network, otherwise Monero cannot be censored like Bitcoin can be.
Small correction, It's not any view deemed acceptable. It's any view not deemed properly righteous. For any not displaying the correct righteousness will be deemed to have not just the views they expose, must also be hiding views deemed reprehensible.

For E2E testing, is the browser still totally necessary? I feel the React rendering test libraries (React Testing Library/Enzyme) manage quite well? I have used Selenium and that ilk before but find you get odd failures every now and then (i.e. browser problems but also resources problems when you run parallel tests).

Also, I am sure this will be pointed out several times, but snapshot testing doesn't seem like a great idea. Your test is wrapped totally around your implementation and it is kind of unclear what you are testing i.e. change something, run test, snapshot fails because of UI update, update snapshot, passes...if you introduce some kind of unexpected bug with that change, how do you know? It works if you are testing for the same result but if you are making changes to the snapshot, you lose all coverage...tests are just as important then too.

Tbf, you usually end up wrapped around your implementation anyway (i.e. checking to see if there is a button that has certain text) but I feel that snapshots are a bit shortcut-y and give false confidence.

Surely the point of UI tests is to really test the functionality from the point of view of the user...I don't think snapshots achieve this (and I have always got in trouble when I strayed away from this principle...personally).
Really?

Consumer facing telco is booming right now. TMobile has a purple ice cream truck selling phones in my neighborhood.

What is the PR hit of reducing ad spend anyway? Ads are the most liquid corporate spend, it dries up in days if not producing a return.
I think this is completely backward.

To a first approximation, Apple only cares about video producers, software developers, publishers, and musicians, in their Mac strategy. In approximately that order.

The only reason developers are on that list, is because XCode is how software gets written for the rest of their platforms; the dominance of Macs as personal workstations for Valley-style development is only a side effect of that.

These users provide a halo for everyone else. A college student might spend an extra $1000 on their laptop because they want to moonlight on some beats, or have a YouTube channel, that sort of thing.

I remember seeing this disconnect when the new Mac Pro was released and many here dismissed it as too expensive. Someone who works in CGI came around to say that, no, $50,000 is a normal amount of money to spend on their workstations and that their company was ecstatic to be able to keep working with macOS.
Apple IS trying do what they think the users are saying.
Do they use your data to train an algorithm and "simulate" what you like? Toss the data afterwards.

I'm a machine learning noob but it feels like they could train a vague representation of you with your data to throw products or sites against and get a thumbs up or down.
He’s posting factual inaccuracies about mail in ballots. Twitter appended the fact check information, so people could pursue their right to vote. Facebook did nothing

Link to the book itself seems to be missing.
OP said "not uncensorable" meaning it is possible to censor using Bitcoin. This in itself is a problem. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it can't. Tor was a DoD project, and so I automatically assume that it is possible for them to control enough exit nodes for them to control traffic. Even if it doesn't happen in practice, it is actually possible for anybody to do. Same with Bitcoin. Got a big enough budget, you can start censoring transactions. Bitcoin is not anonymous, Bitcoin is not private, Bitcoin is not censorship resistant.
How long did it take for opensource drivers for stuff like Ras Pi GPU ? On the flipside is there any support for recent nvidia cards in hackintosh ?

I seriously doubt the effort required to write a functional GPU driver is going to come from OSS for something as fringe as Hackintosh on a random ARM SoC, like you said they get replaced constantly and the landscape is fragmented.
The quality can be affected by poor upvoting. I've seen too many examples where the first comment is incorrect technically.

That has _not_ been my experience when reporting bugs to webkit.

I've reported a couple of bugs that are still there, years after I reported them.

See this one for example reported in 2016:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162512

Or this other one from 6 months ago and still no response from the team:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207049

Summary execution is not what is happening when a police officer kills someone who is a danger to others.
Hitler didn’t have much of a web presence, and I guess whatever’s left of the Nazi party hasn’t set one up. However, people have scanned some of the nazi propaganda:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camp_badg...

Also, at least when I was a kid, public grade schools covered WWII, and taught us about the triangles.

Here’s a story from the history channel:

https://www.history.com/news/pink-triangle-nazi-concentratio...

Red was reserved for political prisoners, and the LGBT movement co-opted the pink triangle. Good for them.

Have you seriously not heard of any of this? Are you not from the US, or have holocaust deniers been tampering with school curricula?
Ad spending is down universally, that much is true. [1] And everyone in ads knows this.

This also makes it very easy for execs to spin some PR in whatever direction they want.

It would be hard to provide 'evidence' that of the cynical take that VZ is just using this as an excuse, but there's no doubt the calculus works.

I'm not sure we want to work with "the most general data structure possible". We can use a Hopfield-like network where every neuron is connected to every other neuron and to itself. It probably won't be very useful. NN design have been moving from more general to less general architectures.
Bitcoin ATMs definitely have surveillance cameras - if they don't, the area surrounding their location do. As far as I know there are only a handful of older Bitcoin ATM brands that don't have a camera and even the brand I'm thinking of Lamassu has added cameras in their later models.[1]

Sort of. By the time you choose the package that info should be known.
It's super useful for many reasons:

- to help make thread-unsafe APIs thread-safe

E.g., errno, strtok(), and so on.

- to store thread-private mutable globals

(Thread-locals are more like thread-globals.)

- to keep a reference/copy of global immutable
data that might get replaced in the middle of
a thread's handling of a request

- to keep contextual data that you can't retrofit
an API to pass explicitly (see also first item)
> used a nazi triangle

If anyone doubts that this was an intentional dog whistle to white supremacists: the first sentence of the ad with the nazi triangle had 14 words[1]. His campaign ran 88 [2] on the facebook pages for Trump, Pence, and Team Trump.

These are very well-known references used by white supremacists/neo-nazis they often use as dog whistles.

Facebook presumed bad intent. They presumed the president literally threatened to murder protesters.
Quanta are specifically the quantization of the EM field, so if you will, a single photon at least theoretically is the smallest amplitude of an EM wave you can have. You can see this mostly by noting the expectation of the number operator gives essentially the radiant intensity.

Call someone out for using a fake story about killing another human being just to further a point?

To anyone experienced or knowledgeable about defensive shootings and home invasions - the story above reads like the author watched too many action movies.

Positively ID'ed an armed intruder and then proceeded to have a complete conversation with said armed intruder in the middle of the night? Asked the armed intruder to allow him to "ziptie" their hands? The armed intruder doesn't run away at first signs that someone is home or awake, and still doesn't run when the occupant reveals themselves to be armed? Then proceeded to have a shootout with the intruder and somehow placed two accurate shots on target from across a room or hallway? All with adrenaline and a cocktail of other mind-altering, body trembling, dexterity-inhibiting chemicals surging through their body? Total BS.

Then went to jail for a week and couldn't apparently afford bail even though they then spent hundreds of thousands on an apparent criminal investigation for suspected murder (says they might still be in jail to this day) even though there's an armed dead intruder lying in the room after a forced entry? In a "Castle Doctrine State"? Ya, that doesn't happen either.

Most people can't speak coherently with all that going on, let alone fire accurate shots either. It's a myth "you can't miss" with a shotgun. At average room or hallway distances, the spread is about 5 inches or less with 00 Buck, and usually those shots are fired from the low-ready or hip positions due to the immediacy of the situation. It's pretty darn easy to miss in a situation like that.

The entire story is either grossly exaggerated, or completely made up. All for what? To appear to be arguing from some position of authority and make people accept OP's argument as fact? That's appalling, and it's things like this that make responsible gun owners look bad.
No, it takes no decision from the board to cut ad spending due to COVID, which is happening universally.

The bit about 'Facebook' is a very secondary thing and it's not in the same category of 'birds'.

One is existential to the nature of the business, the other is a PR line.
I would be surprised if anyone has enough resources or willingness to do that for every open source package they are using. For companies that go through auditing, they can CTA by relying on products like Nexus IQ.
(From my perspective) Apple needs to keep up the appearance of being a "pro" brand - a large part of their marketing to non professional users relies on it.

We also use base image which is a core OS configured to our liking with puppet and minimum bootstrap core that allows the system to ask "What am I supposed to be, again?" If we know that any of the instances are currently functioning or were functioning as intended than we know that new instance will be functioning as intended.

After that it takes between 60 seconds and 5 minutes for it to be inserted into service regardless of the complexity of its configuration and registration.
As the OP mentioned, many countries, including democratic ones, do have laws around hate speech. Wikipedia has a few words about it in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_France#The...

You also have laws against defamation that consider it illegal to defame people based on race and other criteria (since the 19th century in France).
Well, then I am gonna say it's even better to think of linear and logistic regression as special case of M Estimators or GMM.

Joke aside, the truth is that logistic regression can be understood based on several assumptions.

Above we have the latent variable explanation.
Then there is a Bayesian version. There's even a "random utlity" formulation, where one models explicitly choices of an agent with a probabilistic error. That one is good to explain hierarchical logit models and many of the "issues" with logit such as IAA.

GLM on the other hand I don't feel like it adds much except parameterizing the procedure, which ain't even a good thing. Nowadays we appreciate the semi parametric nature of regression a lot, which is why GLM has declined in use.
I agree with you 100%.

Over the next hundred years the next waves of human wars genocides and oppression will powered with deadly precession weapons powered by Tensor Flow, the Linux kernel and ARM chips.
