> like so many Chinese students spend years at overseas uni's, you'd think some of it would seep in. If not I'm very disappointed with the universities.

A Chinese friend of mine has said that, nowadays, most of the overseas Chinese students are rich kids who didn't make the cut in the Chinese education system. They're less curious about the world than previous generations of Chinese students, and have more to gain from the current Chinese system, too.

My friend comes from one of those previous generations, was more curious about the world, and it still took her many years to get over the propaganda.
It can destroy guilty lives, too. I.e. the punishment can far outweigh the crime.

I would say that Jon Ronson's book "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" (mentioned in the article), is also excellent. I would especially recommend it for anyone building social media tech.

> That's how US destroyed USSR.

Your arrow of causation is pointing in the wrong direction.

At the time, intellectuals in the US believed (and many still believe) that Communism(or whatever you call the economic system that was practiced in the USSR) is the superior economic system.

The USSR rotted from within due to fundamental economic problems like the principal agent problem[1] and the economic calculation problem[2].

The US didn't really have much to do with it, with the possible exception of "forcing" the USSR to spend a lot of resources it didn't have on weapons and space flight.

I’ve seen a lot of good examples of black being bad, but black also is a positive thing in many contexts.

Amex Black card? Or other cards? A sign of prestige.

Black limousines and towncars are seen as prestigious.

Black clothes make you look thinner; plenty of women like to outfit themselves in black as much as possible.

The gothic look primarily deals in black. Never seen or heard anyone try to link some sort of racial relation to it.

It’s weird that “black <something>” is now being looked at so critically, especially since “black people” isn’t even a properly descriptive term, but one that may even have roots itself as the “white man’s N word” back in the day. However it seems to the acceptable phrase. I’m now going to see what the epidemiology of that is, I’m curious who came up with it.
Interesting data sources and even RPC for remote things are in JSON though. But, I am only arguing that it shouldn't be slow because JSON is "slow", make the best of what we have.

No download statistics are currently available for Julia packages. That's essentially the issue that the Pkg.jl telemetry is trying to address.
I apologise as I can see how “you” could be misread as referring to the individual I was replying to, rather than a colloquial rejoinder to the use of “we”—but I would have thought that was self evident given that the Enlightenment was 250 years ago.

More broadly I don’t regret anything I have said in this thread. And honestly I find it difficult to take this form of criticism seriously; offering challenge to concepts voluntarily offered into this thread by others isn’t “abuse“ in any other context.

And I further reject the assertion that the other commenter did not react “in kind”. He even used “you” at me in the same colloquial sense.
Rollback more or less massages the differences between players connections. Comparing this to old netplay (Anthers Ladder & co) is night and day differences.

Teleporting rarely happens for me, if ever - and if it does, then I can cancel and move on to the next opponent who generally doesn't exhibit the issue. In a game like Melee, this is huge - you really need to play both to understand how impactful the difference is.
How about faculty? Professors are, on average, more than 40 years old. Do you think they should teach in person?
Technically, any justice administered by a mob is targetting innocents. At least, it used to be that things like fair trials were a requirement to establish guilt. Now is just seems like internet bullies can just bypass democratic processes and do anything they want to shout down, browbeat, hound, or destroy the people/companies they don't like. And they can get away with it as long as it has a thin veneer of the current moral issue...

Friends, I have a question but I don't have a Pi 4 sitting around to test this:

Is it possible to run a Pi 4 using UASP if I set it up to boot from a decent (Sandisk/Samsung/etc) USB 3.1 pen drive?

Also, is this a reliable setup, or will the device be more stable if booted and run from a MicroSD?
You're thinking of Brawl, not Melee.
Not really - the generated code isnt some mystic code, it's simple templates.

I originally got there by making a complex magic data structure that held relations to everything in multiple dimensions so I could generate a huge amount of stuff, but that turns out to be just like 4GL - a load of slow confusion. The reason I am doing it is exactly because of ML/AI hope - with enough data and proper structures, I can generate a lot.
What specific numbers? Everything I've seen shows way more people have been exposed than though, a vast majority of them don't even generate anitbodies, and the overall fatality rates all across the board are dropping.

Just go to the beaches in Indiana and Florida and you'll see thousands of people out on the beaches, and it's been that way for a month and there's no spike in Fatalities (and please don't go on about cases. Those numbers include PCR, antibody and everyone who is getting test now for regular procedures at hospitals who are testing positive but have had no or minimal symptoms).
"visualizing the harmonious ratios on objects such as Chladni plates (a field called Cymatics) reveals that there is something deeper to consonance and harmony than meets the number line"

Ok I'll bite. What does it reveal? There's nothing inherently meaningful here. We know that 'dissonant' sounds (those that create interference patterns) create wavelets that are smaller and with less contrast than the more 'coherent' patterns from ratios that are closer to whole numbers.

But in what way is this meaningful or useful?
Longtime traveler here. I was in india in the early nineties to witness thumbs up. Coke is a big bad corporation and that makes them evil, but when I traveled I always drink coke. Coke has always been obsessed with keeping its flavor consistent across markets. To get there they have to start with consistent water. That means their water is filtered and treated properly before it is turned into coke. So, when I am traveling, if I ever have a choice between coke and a local product I will go with coke. It is not the most enlightened decision but, having had a couple water-borne diseases in my day, coke is the safe bet.

(Conversely, New England has a variety of local "sodas". I do not hesitate to try those when I am in that area. New England is not India.)

One might interpret the yearning for prosperity, personal freedom and generally capitalist values as a toxic mindset. That then leads to unrest in the population, bringing down the government.

But while all that might have been a factor in the downfall of the USSR, I think other factors have been far more important.
There are a few, and they're not too bad, but it's still something that would be neatly solved with an option of a PCIe slot or even onboard eMMC like on the compute module (assuming the eMMC or built-in NVMe was much faster than the one on CM3+ and below).

If you want performance and you control both ends to the point that you don't want to validate the format, why are you using a lingua franca and not a specific solution? You could swap it out for bson or msgpack.

That would probably break the rules. With the password solution, they're not telling you anything you didn't already know.

If you like python but have mixed feelings about django and other opinionated frameworks, maybe try a project where you mix and match libraries instead of using a framework?

Have you tried using flask? I think you’ll find it closer to your experience with express.
I think the only solution here is strict enforcement of anti harrassment laws. Sending threats, harrassing someone's employer, doxxing someone, etc, should result in a permanent ban on the relevant platform and possibly jail time.
No one mentioned opposing viewpoints except you, and only to downplay real-world harassment as a mere difference of opinion. The radicalization occurring on Twitter is encouraging 'adults' to gang up on others (often children) and try to get their lives permanently ruined over ACTUAL differences of opinion, or for vastly disproportionate acts. So yes, we should use the word 'kill' when describing a force that destroys reasonable, well-meaning, and good people's lives every single day.

The "unreasonable" part is the the disproportionate and permanent effect of internet hatred in regards to comparatively non-permanent acts (that are still often harmful, but more often than not nowhere near to the same extent). The "narcissist" part is the need to do so for beneficial social points among those that do. Those that have the online support to keep the basic needs in life that they want to deprive others of. So yes, these people meet the definition on both counts.

It doesn't mean that those who are bombarded don't deserve to be reprimanded, just that they probably don't deserve to be bombarded with threats and harassment. You can express your opinion on Twitter without personal attacks and threats of harassment and violence. That part should not be a fringe opinion.
Pretty much. I've started seeing a lot of people saying "innocent until proven guilty only applies to courts" as an excuse for mob justice. It's mostly the same people who say "freedom of speech only applies to government censorship".

I'm going to be testing a few different thumb drives in my next post / video. I have a couple SanDisk models and an Arcanite USB 3.1 drive that I'll be testing... but I don't believe they use UASP (haven't had time to confirm that suspicion yet).
Oh, OK - I misspoke. It was the sub-subthread that started off cherrypicking statistics.

But if we're going to be pedantic it's worth noting that tearing down the things that you don't like is selective whereas burning everything to the ground is much more indiscriminate and there's a big difference there.

To put it another way, calling for the razing of America is totally unreasonable. But such calls are in actual fact extremely uncommon.
It will only matter on car vs car collisions. Fully loaded trucks and ground obstacles will still be a problem.

Also I am not a mechanical engineer but it looks like steel is really good at absorbing energy from impacts. Plastics tend to shatter when the impact force is too great. I actually experienced a minor accident in a fiberglass car. No one was hurt because the chassis held everything in place but the body was completely broken.

As the PROBLEM statement says:

Yes, you could tell them something that happens tomorrow or the next day. But if time is of the essence and you can't wait until tomorrow, then the Temporal Password helps you _immediately_ demonstrate your authenticity.
They seemed to have been destroyed by more external forces like a failed economy, mass starvation and political strife.
If you want to bookmark a page, that's the one that I update every year or two (usually after a new Pi model is released). The blog posts fade a little in relevance over time since I don't keep them updated.
I guess the above was more about keeping the comments terse (at best) by default, rather than instituting an ambiguous or arbitrary formality.

The overlay thought was similar to the map concept, where you can load and toggle data layers (comments of various verbosity or from a dynamic source) easily.
I wrote about this here:

https://austingwalters.com/on-committing-suicide/

Social media is effectively amplifying the smallest segment of society. An extreme left and extreme right, neither of whom really represent the vast majority of people. Worse, I don’t think companies or representatives realize how few even a few thousand retweets really are...

Further exasperating the issue is the fact we deplatform people with opposing opinions. Now Reddit is even removing people who upvote stories or comments differ from their ideology.

It’s getting real scary. That’s why my post linked above is called “on committing suicide”. It’s a dual meaning, I think the country is murdering itself and I’m also risking my entire career to say so.
It's really hard to get away from getting data in JSON these days. It's ubiquitous.

It was a bit contrived true, but when some are doing it in 0.1s and many are in the 1.5-2s range, and that was parse time, not loading the data or startup. If I would go binary it would probably be something like protobuf, not ad-hoc. Ad-hoc has issues with maintenance, interop, and tooling.

This thought just crossed my mind: I think we should stop using the yellow colour at the semaphore because some Asians may find it offensive, right? Like if it's yellow it's a warning!
Neo-malthusian arguments have been recycled by the same group of intellectuals for the last 50 years or so. You'd be hard pressed to point to a single prediction they've made that turned out to be correct. If there's a single fatal flaw, it's that they discount how much people will change their behavior in response to a change in circumstances. Unchecked global warming may spell doom for civilization as it currently exists... but adaptations will be made. Food will be grown in places that are currently too cold for it. Sea walls will be built. Air conditioners will be purchased.

If "top climate scientists" want to argue that preventing climate change is better than adapting to it, then that's something I'd engage with. But this? Absolute drivel.
I should elaborate my point slightly.

Even Wikipedia says this: “For many other individuals, communities and countries, "black" is perceived as a derogatory, outdated, reductive or otherwise unrepresentative label, and as a result is neither used nor defined, especially in African countries with little to no history of colonial racial segregation” [1]

So to many (maybe not in US) it already is an offensive term. My thought would be why not move past the term of black people to something more universal with no historical questionability, and not get caught up in “is black <something>” offensive. Instead of having to fight and question a lot of black <something> due to its actual color, embrace a more transcendent new term (much like Indian vs Indigenous Person vs Native American, that movement)

How is any of that external?
Humans love mobs. It makes them feel empowered, and gives them greater "authority" than they would otherwise have. We have seen mobs throughout human history cause all sorts of horrible incidents. But the difference between a physical mob and an internet mob, is that in a physical mob you can be identified, you are still risking some of your own safety, and you can usually immediately see the consequences of your own actions.

In an internet mob you can remain anonymous, you don't need to actually carry out any of the threats you make (others may do it for you, eg calling for somebody to be fired), and you aren't risk any of your own reputation.

I absolutely loath seeing mainstream media write about what happens on twitter/social media. It magnifies the mob far beyond reason. "Twttier in an outrage", "Internet blows up" it's just insane. Not only does it give the impression that vast majority of users on a platform are on the same side (they're not), it gives them pseudo-credibility. And unfortunately, the next step is for corporations to take them seriously.

The more I see these stories and see how social media has shaped and is shaping the 21st century, the more I wish it was never created. It was fun at first. But the dark side of humanity has been given a power it should never have had.
If you look at the linked data, you'll see that Sweden reached zero excess mortality by the end of May. This is a very good indication that their approach is working as they expected it would. Their execution has not been perfect, but they've been transparent about that and are working to address the known issues.
r/sino feels more like a circlejerk for mostly Asian Americans that somehow hate their country that has blessed them with all this liberty and freedom... it is so weird to see the posts there express themselves so well, in fluent English (then why haven't you moved to China?). I partially get what they're coming from because I also have been really impressed with the unhindered economic development in China, and without too much concern for politics, I would also find life in China, superficially speaking, a lot more stimulating than typical US suburbia, but I just don't get what drives their love and support for the CCP. For a long time I read r/hongkong and r/sino simultaneously to stay neutral.
Compared to an internal "mindset"?
Of course, if the proceeds of the carbon tax were distributed back to the populace, and if you stayed home and your boss flew his helicopter, the extra money he spent would end up in your pocket.

Actually, I'm of the opinion that when the government has more money to spend on programs for citizens, society as a whole anyway, so I don't think it even matters so much what we do with the revenue (as much as some programs are certainly better than others).

But, I don't like to use this argument, because I know a lot of people disagree about the benefits of government programs / wealth redistribution, and I would really really really like for addressing climate change to not be a political issue. Unless you flat-out think Climate Change is a hoax, there is no reason for us not to tax carbon.
That's inherent in the definition of "mob [in]justice". The mob is driven by passion, not justice.

At worst, at the instigation of charismatic or influential people with ulterior motive. At best, missguided by fear and other emotions. Never overflowing with rational thought.
It should be and is decent, but when we tried we ran into numerous paper-cuts:

- Needed to set up NTP to set the clock, it was always wrong.

- It can't power down through software, so you have to shut down and then hit the power switch like it's 1990.

- Audio was a mess and had to spend hours researching how to write and edit a bunch of config files to make it predictable.

- The weird set up program means you need to do a lot of googling on how to fix issues in a non-standard to linux way. It mostly works however.

- Raspbian feels not quite "finished." Was much happier with Ubuntu Mate, as they fixed 99% of the paper cuts like audio already, but it doesn't support the 4 yet.

In short, it is a bit too cheap. I would have definitely spent another dollar to see these hardware issues fixed. Or dropped the CPU speed a hundred MHZ, whatever it takes.

In the end, a friend gave us a ten-year-old used iMac for free. I installed Ubuntu Mate on it and it had none of the above problems. It's even a touch faster.
