It wasn't a switch as in politicians jumping ship from party to party in most cases, but instead a high level policy switch of voters, purging politicians from one party, and gaining new ones on the other as Dixiecrat voters felt betrayed and were welcomed into the Republican party as a new policy shift of that party.

Framing this as the civil rights act being solved and now voters focusing on other issues is ahistorical, and essentially just propaganda.

That's what the mean by a party switch.
I remember being on a decent wired connection, working late in the office in London. All of a sudden, I got a call from the IT manager for Europe, who wanted my help to figure out which device was performing a DDoS or was part of a botnet. He had received alerts about the number of connections and the bandwidth.

After a few minutes, I realised he was talking about my laptop. I presume I had been promoted to a supernode thanks to my location and bandwidth. This was around 2009.
I’m ashamed to say that I’ve tried every diet under the sun, including the 16-8 IF and I was failing miserably at it. It’s by no means healthy but turns out I’ve always been an all-or-nothing type (complete lack of discipline) so I’ve been trying the 5-2 diet for the past couple months and I’m finally seeing results. It allows you to eat up to 125% of your daily calories on eating days and up to 25% on the 2 non-eating days. You can ramp it up by eating absolutely nothing on non-eating days an even alternating between eating and non-eating every other day which I’ve had some luck with. For me personally the advantage was simplicity and the ability to eat the things I tend to eat (within reason) without having to put too much effort into it. On non-eating days I just keep myself occupied with work, activities, etc and after a few times it’s surprisingly easy not to eat.
I remember him very carefully offering a distinction of what hacking meant in terms of him. He describes the old school term, meaning hacking programs together to make something, not the one meaning to break into/steal.

GOOG, FB, and AMZN extract all value out of the web, the music industry, retail, IT/cloud, soon e-learning, and basically everything, with content creators getting nothing. In music, we've already seen the effect of no monetary feedback for too many years now; save for very few counterexamples, we haven't seen any innovation since the 1990's; instead we have raised a generation of YouTube addicts. That is the problem to solve sooner rather than later; it doesn't matter how and why we got here, and it's not a question of whether Google or someone else did anything wrong. It's about how we can go on in a civil society with large public investments into eg IP networking, law enforcement, etc. to only line the pockets of very very few.
Agreed that this downside is not worth the convenience. But, I think iOS 14 provides a great solution to this problem; you can pattern match against the contents of the clipboard without reading the contents. Then you can always read it if it matches.
The ambition of this project (Open Goldberg) was a bit wider. We wanted to make:
- A software score (MuseScore) which has all of the advantages of a canonical digital document vs a picture (which is what IMSLP offers)
- A public domain recording
- A download of the unmixed stems so that people could mix their own (open source model)
- A MIDI version

So... that's what we did!
Well, the first half of it was a podcast about that trader. Then it abruptly shifts into ... I don't know what. A general talk about trust or something.

It left me confused and unsatisfied.
By the same measure, The Wire or Django is racist for using the n word... It's a work of fiction, the characters and the narrator are fictionalized artistic devices and don't necessarily represent the author's views.

Quarantine has always been a precautionary measure, applied to both sick and healthy people. The point is that you don't know who falls into which category.

The origin of the word is quarantena, Venetian for "40 days", the period of time a ship suspected of carrying disease had to wait outside the harbor.
That is rough. I was unaware of the heavy import taxes. But they’re the ones buying so they should pay the tax, expecting me to sell internationally tax inclusive was weird, and possibly a miscommunication with an intermediary, or someone was trying to pull a trick. I think my competitor must have done some transfer pricing with a local branch.

I understand the rational for protectionism and at the same time worry about the future it will lead to. The ability to buy just about anything from just about anywhere was one of the things I really liked about the US.
It’s not at all obvious to me that the accuracy threshold should scale with city size. Some small town shouldn’t use a system that is 1000x less accurate.
The trouble is that lack of public tender means cosy deals, national champions and less of a free market.

If some costs aren't being priced in, then procedures should be changed to price them appropriately. I'm not sure the answer is to permit cosy deals between politicians and their patron companies, or depriving citizens of the services of best providers in the market.
I presume they must have done something like actually preparing a terrorist attack right?

It’s hard to decide what to do with children in such a scenario, but I cannot imagine prison is the best solution.
>I'm pretty confused how America keeps going down this path even after an actual 50% of the entire population revolted against the 'good' ideologies and voted in Trump with religious fervour.

About 60% [0,1] of "the entire population" voted at all, and out of that population, votes for Trump and Clinton were split almost evenly, with Clinton still getting a slight majority of (a couple of million) votes, which isn't actually relevant due to the electoral college. At the end, the margin that decided the election was about 80,000 people[2].

I'm assuming good faith on your part, but the premise that half the country revolted against political correctness by voting in Trump and handing him a mandate is a populist myth. Trump is the result of having gamed the system slightly better than his opponent and nothing more, with far less than half of the population voting for him, and many doing so because he was the only option their party provided.

Your argument is already assuming its conclusion, i.e. that all speech should be free. But then you also recognize that, no, actually, some kinds shouldn't be (i.e direct threats).

The point is: that line you're drawing is arbitrary. You can define it narrowly and precisely, and I think that's what you tried to do here, but at the end of the day you chose where to draw it.
>It was so wasteful and almost no one in the building had a comfortable temperature in their apartment all because it was cheaper/easier for management to just keep burning a ton of oil instead of investing in a bit of insulation.

Making old housing stock efficient at scale is fundamentally incompatible with the laws in MA (local as well as state) that make it possible to both make incremental improvements as budget allows and be on the right side of the law.

People suffer through expensive old utility systems because they can't do X without hiring a licenses pro who can't do Y without pulling a permit and the town won't grant a permit for Y unless Z that has to be touched do do Y is brought up to modern code at the same time which would be fundamentally incompatible (usually for cost reasons) with the goal of the work.

Incremental improvement is more or less disallowed by law or at least massively dis-incentivized. You either have the cash to completely renovate a building and put all new everything in or you do nothing.
I seriously doubt censors missed that. I think they were playing the game as well. Seksmisja quote is a good example of that.
The content looks quite interesting for a mathematician too—so I'm sorry that the advertising needs to be antagonising.

But even Keep the Aspidistra Flying was basically mutilated by circumstance [1] and it's still a great book. So, I'll take the insults towards mathematicians with humour and actually read some of it—I often switch between grumpy rigour to applicative speed. We all need to earn an income.

Edit: Just to be clear, my comment on mathematicians is not on your quote, but this quote from OP's post:

Got a source for this? Not that I find it hard to believe.
Graham has some compromat on him (he used to hate Trump and suddenly became his biggest supporter over night), Cotton was the guy who wanted all protesters killed, I have no clue on Blackburn. But this bill has zero chance of passing; it's merely yet another case of political grandstanding. Lots of things get introduced that can never pass.

> Keeping with what's new in society is important insofar as having an informed population is vital for the correct functioning of a democracy.

I would say this -- the correct functioning of democracy -- is among the most important things there are.

So we surely need journalism ('the news industry') to improve, not just go away.
Nearly all HSMs that store an arbitrary number of keys can be compelled to dump those keys via a special firmware update from the manufacturer of the HSM, or at very least remove checks to allow it to be used as a decryption oracle.

Apple was able to say no, because they weren't in physical possession of the HSM, which meant that they couldn't be subpoenaed for information that wasn't actually in their possession, but a judge wouldn't look as highly on google's case.
It looks very proming, congrats. I use ClickHouse in production and I'd love to see how this project evolves.
My main disappointment is the amount of aggregation functions: https://questdb.io/docs/functionsAggregation
Clickhouse provides hundreds of functions, many of which I use.
It would be hard to even consider QuestDB with this amount of functions.
I'll stay tuned, anyway.
Keep up the good work!
What Is the Future of Recruitment?

When I was on Linux, back in the glory days of Skype, I can tell you that it never worked well — if it worked at all, since I only remember it having support for one or two Ubuntu LTS versions and so on other distributions it was a Hail Mary event.

Nowadays you actually have a chance to make an audio call, even if you're not on the right Ubuntu LTS version.

And I've been using it on MacOS for the last couple of years. Not as a main communication channel, but it's a good meeting place and it supported video chats in our group of 10 people without issues, but granted I don't have experience with more than that.
Hang on, did they just accuse Chelsea Manning of attempting to hack computer systems? Is that a new allegation? To the best of my knowledge she only ever used access she already had, not attempted privilege escalation.

I built three cigar box guitars for my son, my father, and myself make from repurposed wood from my son's', my father's and my baby cribs.

Coolest computer related thing? I used to run http://uptime.openacs.org (which I port from Oracle -> Postgres) and http://myturl.com (a tinyurl clone written in AOLserver). But as things tend to do, both projects are shutdown.

I still find the cigar box guitars the cooler thing.
Why Birds Can Fly over Mount Everest
I'm in my early 40's and started programming 20 years ago. Did C++ and Java with touches of Perl (recently Python) and SQL databases. Also have 10+ years in quant finance.

I gave up trying to "keep up with the Kardashians". I know software development (and finance) but I'm aware of the fate of older guys if they need a new job: in the increasingly disfunctional environment that's recruiting, not only we're required to jump through more and more (automated) hoops, if you're old you have to know everything. One wrong answer and you're out the door.

So apart from doing my job and working on a finance / trading side project, I'm limiting myself on recapping / reading common crap that's asked in interviews. I sort of mentally settled for the fact that either I make it through my side project or one day I'll be phased out. When you're phased out it's always your fault, problem is no matter how much you struggle the way things are progressing, failure, bankruptcy and homelessness are inevitable.

I'm thinking that rather than struggling desperately and still failing, it's better to fail through just not caring.
> Betting policy on a miracle vaccine is a bad idea.

There are several promising vaccines that are already fairly far along in development. One of them (the Sinovac vaccine candidate) is going into Phase III trials as we speak.

Throwing away hundreds of thousands of lives when a vaccine might be available within months is just a terribly cold-hearted thing to do. Add to that the fact that many countries have now suppressed the epidemic and have partially reopened, and the US response to the pandemic makes even less sense.
This is painful but it's a step in right direction. They have to serve ongoing processes for a couple of more weeks/months. All subsidiaries that can be sold will probably be sold to pay creditors. Hopefully all toxic parts will be removed and a few healthy ones will stay, in one way or another.
GIMP stuck at GTK 2 which prevents them to work properly on modern hardware. I hope they release 3rd version soon. They should have made Kickstarter campaigns like Krita did.

"changing your pronouns" has a link to "tying your identity to how you are being referenced" (i claim this from observation). Using the wrong pronoun is such much more likely to be seen as a personal attack than using your pre-marriage name.
I would buy the ARM one only if I was developing native apps for macOS. I don't believe there is any other scenario I would advice doing that.

As for the switching to Windows/Linux, I am in similar position (developing on Mac Pro for 8 years) and my next hardware will be definitely not made by Apple. I don't find new models/macOS changes really "pro"-friendly. The most positive thing that happened recently was that they restored a working keyboard (just wow). Otherwise it just gets worse with every generation (both hardware and software).

While mostly true, I think there is a social contract of modern democracies to let people have their opinion, even if it is bigoted and wrong. Don't you think consequences have increased significantly?

Associating an employer with the opinion of employees if prejudice itself for example. Not wanting to drive that point of course. Should I be more offensive with my indictments?
Yeah no, it really depends on the working piece (geometry), material, manufacturing and so on...its incredible complex, some milling machines work 24/7 (even without a piece in it) just to uphold the overall machine temperature. A HVAC could make stuff even worse when your piece or machine comes in to the cold flow.

Now that this is a standard, I'd hope that e.g. public institutions (but also enterprises, in an attempt to present themselves as sustainable) start adjusting their internal rules for office equipment.

"Any device bought for operation in our company must be category B or above" is quite a bit easier to verify than "it should kinda be repairable..."

Sorry, I don't understand this at all.

You really can't spend the 30 seconds needed to think about "hmm, maybe be a bit careful about the words I'm using here in case my message gets lost in criticism of my language"?

As others have said, finding a non-offensive synonym for "Black market" takes a single search, about 5 seconds. Is it really that time-critical? Where are you sending these messages that those 30 seconds are "life or death" yet they're spread widely enough to be potentially offensive?

"messing up" involves what, exactly? Because it seems to me that using a racist term is more likely to divert the attention from your message, not less.

Well, facebook is designed to exploit addictive behavior so it should be no surprise.

> What does this mean?

That you can not trade the stock for now. Trading has been resumed. On many stock exchanges there are rules for this. Something very common.

> And what is the reason behind that? Is it guaranteed that
shares of a company that files for insolvency are worth 0?

No. The company could recover, could get bought etc. As a stock holder you are the last in line. Should the company get liquidated, bond holders will have a higher priority for any money recovered.

> And therefore the exchanges want to save uninformed investors from buying them?

No. Please look up Hertz, the car rental company and what is happen recently the stock. They are bankrupt, people are buying the stock and Hertz was even allowed to issue more shares.
The Munich prosecutor's office, which is already investigating Braun on suspicion of manipulating Wirecard"s accounts, said "We will now look at all possible criminal offenses."

I'm not surprised. Online reputation is making and breaking, shaping people and businesses.

This kind of behaviour is rampant, you even have individual resorting to harassment of people who disagree or said something they don't like.
Facebook and twitter revolve around this behaviour, presidents and political figures engage in this behaviour and at least a dictator gained power using it (see duterte in philippines).

Add to this that the larger the corporation and the higher in the hierarchy means the impunity is almost a given (see HSBC laundering scandal, facebook multiple scandals, etc.)

To me the surprise here is that the information got out and that the authorities actually acted on it.
yeah, but I don't write desktop apps any more, so it's not something I use any more.
> If google actually creates a good system for paying news media through e.g. microtransactions...

They had something close to this with Google Contributor:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Contributor

You add a few dollars to your online account, nominate which participating sites you want it to work with, and you would get an ad-free / paywall-free experience on those sites. The sites would determine the price per page - some only charged 1c, while some smaller blogs charged 5c. Some large Australian newspapers signed up, and apparently Mashable and The Onion were part of it at launch.

Ultimately every website I followed pulled out of the program. It seems that advertising revenue earns more for newspapers than anyone is prepared to pay for news. I never even used up the $5 I put into my Google Contributor account.
