Muhammad Ali's views about China & Vietnam/Vietcong

"I'm not gonna help nobody get something my negroes don't have. If I'm gonna die, I'll die now right here fighting you, if I'm gonna die. You my enemy. No Chinaman every called me a N or enslaved my people. My enemies are white people, not Viet Congs or Chinese or Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. You won't even stand up for me in America for my religious beliefs, and you want me to go somewhere and fight, but you won't even stand up for me here at home."

"Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years."

Cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, nutmeg and star anise are undoubtedly spices. Didn't mean to suggest otherwise.

However, a dish incorporating them isn't usually referred to as spicy in my experience. Unless it also contains chili pepper.
Not sure why 2020 would be different. When were they last relevant? Weren't they always a marketing platform?

Well obviously, but most of the contests against hard IQ data don’t have much merit.

GMV isn’t “gray matter volume”, it’s “greater male variability” - hence the mention of sex chromosome pseudodominance.

Game over for Hong Kong
I've been kind of disappointed by Snap. It seemed like it was a way to always have the latest version of software you care about available, but in practice, nobody updates their Snaps. I used it to get a newer version of Go, and while it is more recent than what comes with Ubuntu, it's still not the latest version. Apparently Some Guy updates it on a volunteer basis when he remembers, so it's nearly useless.

Even if people do update the Snap, it's clear that it provides too many features. It has some sort of isolation model... that every Snap I've ever installed requires you to disable.

It's also surprisingly expensive to run something in a snap. For example, getting the name of my current k8s context with "kubectl config current-context":

$ sudo execsnoop.bt
Attaching 2 probes...
TIME(ms) PID ARGS
7603 29266 kubectl config current-context
7612 29272 /usr/sbin/apparmor_parser --preprocess
7614 29266 kubectl config current-context
7626 29280 /snap/core/9436/usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp version-info
7630 29266 /snap/core/9436/usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine --classic snap.kubectl.kubectl /snap/core/9436/usr/lib/snapd/snap-exec kubectl config current-context
7632 29266 /snap/core/9436/usr/lib/snapd/snap-exec kubectl config current-context
7634 29266 /snap/kubectl/1561/command-kubectl.wrapper config current-context
7635 29266 /snap/kubectl/1561/kubectl config current-context

This adds 32ms of latency before the app runs for absolutely no good reason.

There are different types of mine waste. Certainly you don't want to spread waste contaminated with heavy metals, but most mine waste is just rocks that have been ground up and filtered by a sluice or shaker table to get the tiny fraction of the ore that is actually valuable.
That is irresponsible. For studying in the U.S., students have to rent an apartment, purchase necessities and do lots of other preparations. If they are not allowed to stay in the U.S. anymore, who would cover the loss for them?
What We Know About Aerosols and Coronavirus
Hey, Splitgraph co-founder here. Sorry, we don't mean to come off that way. We'll try to use less clickbaity titles in the future, and I'm sure we'll be writing some more independent Postgres tutorials/content as well.

Our goal in building Splitgraph is to improve the data science ecosystem, so we're doing all we can to gain some early adopters for what we really think is a useful tool. For what it's worth, we are trying to keep a balance in our blog posts between obvious content marketing and useful technical content, e.g. this article where we discuss building Docker containers with Makefiles.

> People confuse students with long term immigration even if that maybe the intention of the student. They are just students who are paying tuition and living in the US as far as anyone is concerned.

Even if it's only short term for the duration of their studies, it seems quite unfair to expect students who have setup in the US to return back to their home country for a term or two when they might well then have to come back to the US again the following year.
SAT measures your ability to complete the SAT, not your ability to solve math problems. If you are nervous in a testing environment or need to take your time with math problems or write them out beyond the scraps of paper they give you, you will have a bad time on the SAT. Even when I took the GRE for grad school, I ran out of time on the math section. It wasn't difficult, it was just trigonometry and very basic algebra, but I ran out of time anyway. I still got into grad school, so it turned out none of this testing stress mattered at all.
From the linked announcement: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3906

> Applications in this store cannot be patched, or pinned. You can’t audit them, hold them, modify them or even point snap to a different store. You’ve as much empowerment with this as if you were using proprietary software, i.e. none. This is in effect similar to a commercial proprietary solution, but with two major differences: It runs as root, and it installs itself without asking you.

This is a great summary of why people rightfully feel nervous about Snap. People run linux because they want visibility and control into what is happening on their systems. Canonical seems to want to take away that visibility and control from their users.
This is reductionist. The academic jobs OminousWeapons is talking about are not likely to be filled by domestic workers because they're severely underpaid.

NIH annual stipends are ~$25k for graduate students and $52-65k for postdocs [1]. There is a massive opportunity cost associated with these positions, _particularly_ for people coming from less affluent backgrounds. It's really hard to accept a 50-70% pay cut (assuming you could otherwise take a tech role) if you have an unprecedented opportunity to contribute to your and your family's financial stability.

> The choice of DHT typically has protocolar implications, such as the use of XOR metric in Kademlia, or the bootstrap algorithm.

> Furthermore, different DHTs have distinct properties, including provisions for fault tolerance, resource recovery, latency bounds, and byzantine tolerance, which here seems like a concern.

What in the RFC is dependent or contingent on those? from what I read in it none of those properties affect what is specified in the draft.

> All nodes must use the same DHT. As a result, this cannot be implemented without knowing the particular DHT in use.

Not according to the draft. Sure, if a zone uses a specific DHT and then other nodes not using the same DHT they won't be able to resolve addresses from that zones, but everything in this draft would still be valid.
I heard it said to girls in my class in Germany (this was in the 80/90s), the teacher in question when challenged said that it was an obvious joke and the girls just can't take humour.

I know quite a lot of women (both in science fields and ones who did not go into science because of this) who told me that they were told this.

I have read it repeatedly on reddit/HN and others by people (in particular those who call themselves geeks/nerds) who argued women and girls are not good at science.

Also one thing I learnt when talking to female colleagues and friends, is that some things we just don't see/hear, because they are said in private, e.g. in teacher meetings...
From their audit:

"The Auditors believe this clarification is an important one, as it signals that Facebook recognizes that messages warning of surveillance of the polls by law enforcement or immigration officials sends the same (suppressive) message as posts that explicitly use words like “arrest” or “deportation.”"

That's an ominous admission on their motivation.
They have a Debian base as well. Just incase Ubuntu relationship goes sour. It's called LMDE.
One of the first things I do on any Ubuntu-based box is remove snap completely.
The founders of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation are Marxists in much the same way that the founders of the United States were slavery advocates. That is, both statements are true, but somewhat incidental to the core idea.

If you reject the thought that the United States has slavery built deeply into its ideology, then you should award that same consideration to BLM and admit that the fundamentals of its ideology are not Marxism etc., but that Black people are fundamentally not given a fair shake by society, as you say.

This is leaving aside the point other posters have made, which is that Black Lives Matter as a slogan and idea exists outside this specific foundation. I don't think you can reasonably expect someone asserting "Black Lives Matter" to have made a complete study of this specific foundation and be in agreement with all its aims.
This seems like a problem:

> Snap packages are effectively black-boxes; they cannot be reproduced independently as the packaging data is controlled by the package maker alone.

One of the nice properties of debian packages is the ability to `apt-get source` and build it locally. Would be a shame to lose that.

Maybe Nix and Guix can provide the best of both worlds here: self-contained software but reproducible builds too.
Installed ubuntu 18.04, purged snapd. It was back after `do-release-upgrade` to 20.04
I only see the start of the pipeline. You're right though, it'd be nice to see it all the way through in order to better understand what overall impact we're having, if any.
I'd love to see an honest research into what happens with these STEM olympiad wunderkindern when they grow up. Something tells me a tiny percentage actually achieves something, most of them burn out very early due to incredible pressure their parents subject them to in their early age.
And that is the wrong decision at this time.
I suspect that it's mostly that air travel has gotten a lot cheaper relative to other modes of travel. It's true that you can't really travel "in the back of the bus" in an ocean liner any longer but I doubt if roughly equivalent first class tickets and dining are all that more expensive today. (Although I haven't done the calculations.)
Airliners at the end of their service life are usually very profitable, because you aren’t counting on their cost if replacement. And of course parts are going to be expensive on a plane that’s been out of production for nearly 30 years.
Serious question: can the schools just have a required course that's like, walk around campus for an hour with a mask and describe your feelings? Pass/fail, 1 credit.
The 777 is the safest ever plane with 5 hull losses, two of which were due to Malaysia Airlines "issues". And it is a fly by wire aircraft.
You should try to learn how to discern the difference between “<group> doesn’t have the skills for <activity>” and “<group> is statistically less likely to match selective criteria of <activity>”. It’s a pretty critical distinction.

If you use population-level characteristics to make blanket individual-level determinations, you are an idiot.
Keepass 1 is .NET Framework based. Keepass 2 is .NET Framework and has a Mono build of varying success. 1 and 2 are the originals and still actively developed.

KeepassX has stalled development since 2016 but was a true cross platform desktop client

KeepassXC is the fork of X and at this point in time is lightyears ahead of X.

I'm sure the developers of XC may have wanted to contribute to X but X seems to have been spearheaded by a single developer who stalled on letting other devs become maintainers. So the community forked it.

But to answer the question, it's impossible to merge X and the original because their code bases are in entirely different languages and arguably X doesn't give you anything than the one man dev show.
The reason for why the backend for the snap store hasn't been opensourced has been explained multiple times. Namely that it would be expensive to open source it with little benefit in return.

Canonical already spent a large amount of investment opensourcing launchpad and nobody other than them operate it. Mainly because the majority of the costs are for operating an instance which most other distros aren't willing to spend.
Not even Mint operate run or operate their own launchpad infrastructure. They experienced large backlash back then, open sourced it and nobody contributed.

The same problem applies here. Snap store specifically from what I gather is a bunch of operational machinery that doesn't make sense without also operating launchpad. Such a cost operating would benefit nobody but Canonical because
nobody else is bothering footing the bill to run an instance.

Second aspect that they wanted to avoid was the same pitfalls that they experienced previously with ppas and now being experienced with flatpak. Namely they want one location to find software, and one location to serve software.
If users have to use the command line to add a external repo that has unfetted access, then that defeats any usability gains. That and the whole aspects of malware/trust goes out the window.

I will remind people that the most popular PPA to this day is a Java PPA being run by some 3rd party that doesn't offer Java. That PPA has root access to thousands of machines.
well, people in Russia do take long train rides like even from Moscow to Vladivostok - 7 days - instead of air. And 2-3 days train rides are nothing exceptional. When you have more time than money...

It was propped up by governments for 27 years as a source of national pride.

One can argue that they got a lot more value out of it than the equivalent amount of money spent on fighter jets and bombers though, and those are just as much prestige projects.
The B extension spec seems to be stagnating. It will anyway be optional and probably rarely implemented even if ever finished. If we have to wait on B, it probably means not getting popcount.

Conditional move would be there implicitly if they had defined boolean "true" to be ~0 in the ABI: just AND. Instead they made it 1, so you have to negate it before you can use it for anything. This has been well understood in SIMD circles for decades; it is a mystery how they could have missed it.

I am ready for a RISC-VI, RISC-W, or RISD-V "fixed version".

If you study aerospace engineering you derive this in undergrad. Again, the whole reason supersonic transports were pursued in the 60s was to reduce fuel costs, and the attempts were abandoned when turbofans proved a better method of achieving that goal.
Ah yes, the real solution is always just round the corner. Then blockchains will take over the world!
As a Portland State donor, I'm disappointed at PSU's refusal to back legitimate scientific inquiry. Sending bogus garbage to journals occasionally is a reasonable way to test that peer-review systems are working.

The events I normally donate to support are canceled due to the pandemic, though, so I probably wouldn't donate anyway. Guess I can't really take a moral stance here.
How does Runnaroo compare to search engines like duckduckgo, searx.me and in the sense of openness and accessible source codes?

Is it open source? Does it have an openly accessible plugin/search feature ecosystem? How do you think people would trust you when it comes to the privacy aspects?
> The people who are anti-immigration are anti-immigration because they personally might be negatively impacted

That's generally untrue, though it is what people think. For one thing, the same flexibility that lets MIT pull from around the world lets a student in Boston apply around the world instead of being stuck with whatever Boston has to offer.
Then why did the Valkyrie B-70 have a longer range flying supersonic than subsonic?

So you can do a lot with it. You can even do sensitivity analysis with it! The devs are super responsive, I made a feature request and they implemented it in a day.

Microsoft really has to speed up the Xamarin.Forms / Maui development. The omission of Linux is a really a pity.
Yes, Excel is the ultimate data mashing/analysis tool for most of the office workers, especially in mid-market. Unfortunately, most users import data to Excel manually, collecting them across different systems and reports, and then manually uoload output of their data manipulation to web forms and legacy software, it seems unreal but people some time take a role of an interface between Excel and other systems. That's why we created visual tool for users to automate working with tables (from spreadsheets to databases) without coding, for some reason no other desktop automation software went that far with Excel/G-sheets.
It's also open source.

I think all search engines fail in providing a list of ordered results. What you actually want is a look at the graph that they were plucked from. As things stand, it's not just a case of being unable to see the forest for the trees, but being unable to see the forest because you are forced to infer its structure from a small basket of leaves.

The only company I've seen attempt anything like this is the (criminally under-recognized) carrotsearch.

IT-related search results seem super relevant. I wish other subjects would work equally well. E.g. supplement/condition-related search could also result in links to sites like selfhacked.com in the top (the actual articles there include references to scientific papers to back every particular statement) which Google actively hides from its results despite it's among my first go-tos.

Absolutely not. Maybe the US should, but according to the rules, a student visa is "nonimmigrant intent" and expressing the desire to stay in the US after your studies are over may in fact be grounds for denial of a visa because they may think you're going to overstay.
