Country A is still involved in their transactions with country C. The only way they are exercising any power is through their direct involvement in the trade network. This also isn't a legal court case with a crime and jurisdiction so it doesnt even really fit the idea of where crimes are evaluated in a court of law - international trade wars are not criminal law unless there are crimes against humanity involved, which I already put a disclaimer about as one of those crimes considered having universal jurisdiction. Though you still have to invade them to be able to prosecute people, in which case you extend your jurisdiction by turning the country into a territory as in ww2
You missed the point where Canonical brought their own apt-get that just installs the snap anyways. So no, you can't install stuff through your traditional package manager.
How? It seems like "Quick Directs" are curated by Runnaroo. The scammers would have to gain control of the server.
Gosh, from Wikipedia’s section on Concorde design there is this set:

- Concorde

- Mini Cooper

- Miniskirt

- Spitfire

- Tube Map

- Jaguar E-Type

What could be added to this list to induce total industrial design hysteria? InterCity 125? Instamatic? Mellor traffic lights?

ah! I've fallen for Copernicus as well.

it's funny it's not like I ever had a debate or read about his nationality, until the topic came up with some Pole while talking about Chopin he also went and you know who else? Marie Curie and Copernicus and then it struck me we always call him "Nicola Copernico" in the school curricula (at least we used to in the nineties) and I just assumed it was Italian by name association alone, without even inquiring about his origins until much later in life, as the topic dropped.

I think a lot of these kind of factoid form into people mind for "absence of correction" more than active research on the topic.
~/snap is really just wholly unacceptable, how did that even become a thing? Do the people who develop this software never use their own systems?

I believe the reasoning is that Ubuntu users do not care about the technical mechanism used to ship the software that comes with Ubuntu.

I mean: clearly some people do care, given that that this thread exists. I think you'll find that they aren't your typical Ubuntu user though.

Users who do care are quite capable of adjusting their configuration, and Ubuntu doesn't get in the way of that (configure apt not to install snapd ever, and it won't).

This is only an issue for users who want to push their political opinions on to other Ubuntu users.
2. "you're kind of like a video game." I think this is a fair characterization. It's obviously not a video game, but there is enormous overlap, once you've successfully modeled your perception in vector space.

This is actually my entire strategy for approaching autonomy, I make as much of the problem space a game; just a serious one. And the most successful optimizations and solutions are the ones that adopt techniques from games. Many academic solutions are formalizations for old-school game "hacks".

In my line of work, training, in many occasions, is about making deep computer vision match ground truth, generated by game tech.
Learn to sew. And to repair and maintain your things more generally, but sewing seems much more overlooked than e.g. car maintenance in this thread, even though more people wear clothes than own cars. You can fix minor rips in your clothes quickly before they turn into major issues. You can do basic alterations by hand (e.g. hemming). I like to put loops in my towels so they hang better on hooks and to embroider my initials on cloth items I might lose. Recently, I repaired my roommate’s rocking chair — the seat is made of canvas, which had torn along a stress point, so I sewed it back together by hand using a thick piece of replacement canvas to add reinforcement. With a sewing machine, I was also able to make a weighted blanket (much cheaper than it would’ve been to buy) and a couple of cloth face masks. Learning a bit about garment construction and fabric properties will help you evaluate clothes, so you can tell if something won’t last just by looking at it in the store, so you can spend less time buying clothes. You can also learn enough about basic hand sewing to get started attaching fabric to other fabric in like 15 minutes.

Also, get some kind of physical hobby that doesn’t involve looking at a computer. It’s nice to spend some time on evenings and weekends not staring at a screen, and I find that doing things with my hands is grounding.

I always find code samples of SIMD instructions to be so esoteric it makes it harder to follow that necessary.

It's 2020, who uses variable names like 'acc', 'a' and 'b'?

There's also no real explanation of what 'a' and 'b' (or 'p1' and 'p2') actually are. It's just magic.

I get that it's just an example, but the example feels so useless it doesn't demonstrate why these SIMD calls are helpful at all.
This policy does not prevent students from attending the universities. It prevents them from living in the US. Since it is July, there is no way that universities would fill slots left open by international students who withdraw their attendance at this point. This policy cannot produce an outcome of enabling more Americans to attend top universities.
I currently have the remarkable V1 and have used it "extensively" (211 pages in 19 notebooks, plus 10 books like PHB 5e, CISSP guide book, and various other nerd things and white papers). I am super happy with the product as it solved my use case of wanting to keep my notes handwritten yet on my person without having to carry around multiple notebooks. I also love the fact that I can have a notebook that goes from us legal lined paper background to large grid background, and back multiple times.

It's PDF capabilities are fine, and you can write on the pages which is nice, but I've not really tried to access any of these notes outside of the device. The did roll their own cloud sync capabilities though so you can use their apps on devices for that. There's also the 3rd party options that exist for that too.

As mentioned by jagraff they expose ssh and allow you to login as root. The whole device is a linux machine so if you want to setup syncthing to run on it you can[1]. If you want something else like zotero, or google drive, I suggest checking their wiki[2] and the github repos[3] dedicated to curating some of the stuff written for it

TLDR; Super happy with remarkable v1. So happy pre ordered V2. It gives you root on a linux box.

All the time. I work with a team that pretty much agrees on commit message detail and format. It is so nice to have all changes documented with the "why".

We keep as much of everything as possible in Git, including configuration. I can look back to every time we've adjusted the memory of a service, every time the number of instances has changed and have descriptions as to why that was done, associated tickets, etc.

Another great reason is integration with hosted Git tools. I know that Bitbucket and Github (and likely many others) will populate a pull request title/description with the commit message. Putting all of the necessary background in the commit message is a great way to supply the reviewer with information surrounding the commit, which decreases turn-around time for PRs. That history and reasoning is now ticketing-system agnostic and available in all of the popular editors that I've used (Vim, Emacs, VSCode, Intellij).
> That higher fee is used to subsidize the fee of in-state students

An uncited, flimsy excuse. Most universities could function just fine without out of state students, but that might result in a cutback of some of the wasteful spending these institutions create.

In any case, the seats are a finite quantity. Most public universities in the US have competitive admissions. Guess who's not getting admitted in place of students on visas? That's right, the most underprivileged parts of our society, which is why I said seats.
Gotcha, that’s an interesting history and the additional context definitely illustrates the authors point.
If a category 5 hurricane destroyed a university, and then ICE deported international students because they were no longer attending classes in person, do you think that would be news? It's just existing policy, their hands are tied.

Or: why is it news that Trump refuses to wear a mask? Obama never wore one.
> You haven't really at all explained any justifiable reason for Canonical to open source it.

I've explained why it would be in the users' interest for Canonical to open source the Snap store: it reduces vendor lock-in and allows the users to enjoy the benefits of open source software (the ability to use, study, share, and improve the software with no restrictions).

Whether open sourcing the Snap server benefits Canonical is irrelevant to the users.
We generally don't, most of the passengers on these trains only go part of the route. Train trips taking 2-3 days (like Moscow to Urals) used to be more common, but flying has become cheaper years ago.
This is a technical restriction with PIP not allowing for elements to be drawn in the PiP modal (or more specifically; HTMLVideoElement is the only thing that can be PiPed currently)
interesting idea in theory. won't work in practice.

the 4h has to be shared. everyone on the team has to be in menstrual synchrony, so to speak. this type of work requires one to get "in the zone", or achieve the "flow" state. everyone has different biorhythms and won't even maintain the same time schedule on a daily basis or even weekly basis.

in an 8hr day you might get 3-4hr of good performance. yes you can do better, but not on a sustained basis. yes more hours per day will give you more but after 8 it really starts to become a diminishing returns thing.

if you tell people to only do 4hr of work, the output is going to be 1-2 hr of efficient work.

you are basically claiming it's a team sport but want to apply a principle that would only work for you personally. now if you can hire only people "like you" then you're golden. or, if you can pay (say) 2-5x market, fire quickly, compel people to have a very specific training-like schedule with execute-or-GTFO practices, have a high demand but high performance environment, only hire high experienced devs, then you might have something. it's not generalizable to the extent that it is usable advice or recommendation.

lastly does your 4h of work include communication and coordination functions? if so, it's reduced to 2h of work.

>why would more choices make making a decision harder

fucking what?
I wonder how this could be done ethically but in a way that doesn't allow peer reviewers to cheat. One thing that comes to mind is ABX testing. Show peer reviewers both a paper which they should accept, and a paper which they should reject, and then give them questionable papers to classify.

At what point does it become unethical simply to be a peer-reviewer for a broken journal? That's the implicit question that should be asked in this sort of ethics review. It does no good to punish just a submitter of papers, if the entire journal is unhealthy.
They can be motivated by profit, as all businesses are. The problem is they aren't regulated by any means - for example, the amount of "ask your Doctor is blahblah is right for you" kind of ads need to stop. It's not the patient who needs to ask the doctor which medicine is right for him, it's the doctor who needs to act in the patients' best interest to provide the right medicine. Not to mention the kickbacks doctors get for prescribing certain drugs.

I no longer work in Python, otherwise I might volunteer to pitch in. But that's not why I'm replying.

I am replying to say that if your projects are burning you out this badly, then you really ought to step away fora bit. It's okay. You don't owe anyone anything. You can return to them in the future, if you like.
And that is exactly why it would be very expensive to open source it. All this revenue ($30000 * number of paying organizations) would then be gone.
In principle yes. I can think of a few possible problems though:

1. You’re focussing on a much smaller subset of the market. It may be hard to find enough investments

2. It is probably illegal.

3. You may not get the best VC’s. The best VC’s will focus on total return and probably fund from a wide pool to find rare outliers that may grow huge. So founders may have worse VC experiences. VC includes mentorship, network etc, so this could hamper startup success.

4. You may also not get the best African American startups. The very best will be able to get attention from the top VC firms. So, there will be an adverse selection problem for any VC specializing in African American startups

#2 is probably the main reason no one has tried. But #3 and #4 in combination are also deadly.

But, if discrimination is a factor in startup funding, there would certainly be a market opportunity for VC’s to focus more attention on underserved groups.

Edit: Another poster points out backstage capital is doing this. So, maybe it doesn’t violate any laws? I’ll be very interested to see how their returns are over time. They fund women and people of color. They may well have hit on a market opportunity.

Found this article when I searched Backstage capital on HN. They’re a startup too it seems: https://news.crunchbase.com/news/founders-arent-giving-up-on...
Deep Searching: the inclusion of relevant results from other targeted search engines to deliver better results quicker.

That doesn't sound like "deep" searching to me. That sounds like search aggregation, like DogPile used to do a couple of decades ago.

To me, "deep searching" would mean the company has its own crawler that indexes the content that the other search engines ignore or discard because it hasn't been updated in the last six hours. The world is losing its knowledgebase because companies like Google only care about what's trending, not what's information.

I want a search engine that shows me all the things that Google has decided aren't important because they're not trendy. Show me the stale web. Show me things that are so good they don't need to be repackaged every six months. Show me hobby sites, reference sites, stores of knowledge that don't exist solely to play the SEO game. Show me things I can't get anywhere else.

I'll give Runnaroo a chance. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint. The world doesn't need another bubblegum search engine.
I'm posting this because I received an email from Airbnb saying I was opted into this automatically and without my permission. While their cause appears just, trampling user privacy and removing active consent to accomplish it is unethical.
I do not think anyone disputes Ubuntu's goals or intentions.

The problem is that the snap store is managed by Ubuntu without any community oversight.

By not releasing source code to the store, other distributions cannot create their own.

These are the reasons what is holding snap back for broader adoption.
I'd like to see a sample of this if it would be possible. Through the years I've been tinkering with new odd Lisp dialects based on ideas I've picked up along the way, and this might be another thing to test out.

Haskell-like languages can look vaguely Lisp-like when fully parenthesized due to juxtaposition meaning function application, like in lambda calculus. They also tend to have "$" to open a group that self-closes at the end of the expression (implemented as a very low precedence right-associative operator), which can greatly clean things up. It sounds like your "|". Haskell itself has a little-used "literate comments" mode where everything not prefixed with > is a comment: https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/literate.html

Mathematica leaves something to be desired when it comes to being a tree rewrite language. I do find it to be very useful for some of the knot theoretic calculations I'm interested in (for example, the language makes it fairly straightforward to work with the braided monoidal category of tangles up to the HOMFLY relations! and display morphisms as linear combinations of pictorial representations of basic tangles!) But... I'd like to be able to more easily compose different tree languages together without worrying that my rewrite rules will conflict with the standard library in unexpected ways.

Recently I've been learning Lean, which has been pleasantly ergonomic (yet still frustrating -- proof assistants are still in their adolescence). It's been making me think that languages of the future really need a built-in system that let you prove the correctness of your programs. This can help with basic things like subtypes, array bounds checking, and so on, that compilers can struggle with because they get little help from the user. Also, all the infix notation actually seems to improve legibility and ergonomics, though this would not be the case if Lean did not have an LSP server that lets you query for the definition of pretty much anything, including bespoke notation. It would be interesting to have a Lisp built on maybe dependent type theory where you can make sure your programs satisfy any property you might want, adding types and proofs to your program in an incremental way.

Another interesting thing about Lean is how it embraces a certain kind of metaprogramming, but in the form of a semi-inscrutable write-only language of "tactics". The UI presents the objects that you have and the objects that you want to have, and the various tactics help you perform steps to close the gap. This is more useful for proofs than programs (yes, proofs are programs, too, but they have some minor differences due to the propext axiom), but it makes me wonder if there is something in here that could be useful for writing programs in general.

(By the way, Macaulay 2 has been helpful to have around every once in a while when I need to do some basic calculations with modules. I was impressed how the language seemed to be designed to appear mathematician-friendly.)
> I think you got it backwards. Chinese students are not stealing the knowledge [..]

No this are not thinks I believe. This are claims which came up one different articles in the recent year(s) on hackernews and are things you might hear from people which are strongly anti-foreigen students or people like Trump.
+1 to all of this.

As someone who's been running small tech businesses in the UK for a while, I think it's also fair to say that the GDPR was unusually onerous even for government regulations. Over the past decade or more, only the VAT mess was comparable for anything coming out of the EU that I've been involved with. The similarities in those two cases are striking.

Each was meant to address a legitimate and well-established problem with how big businesses operate. Each also caused disproportionate expense and hassle for small businesses, even if those businesses weren't the intended targets and what they were doing was basically OK before.

Each had significant ambiguities that were either open to interpretation or missing key details, and so probably needed expert advice on compliance in many cases.

Each required businesses to change their record-keeping, documentation and processes for compliance, even if the substance afterwards was still much the same as before in each case.

Also, in each case enforcement seems unlikely for smaller businesses, so those who either didn't know about the new rules or wilfully ignored them gained an advantage over their competitors who were making a good faith effort to comply. I don't like good people being penalised just for trying to run their businesses legally and responsibly.
My point is that HIPAA has absurdly high compliance costs. It's like buying an apple for a million dollars. The problem isn't that apples are bad, but we sure shouldn't buy any more for that price.
They could try.

But this completely misunderstands how scary it is to be trying to follow the rules as somebody on a visa. "Let me try this weird loophole and hope that no agent comes to me and says 'get out of the country by the end of the week' for violating the spirit of the law" is not a compelling option.

US Immigration is already a Kafkaesque nightmare of confusion and uncertainty. Creating the equivalent of a green card marriage in an almost completely transparent and obvious manner isn't going to put people at ease.

People might not randomly meet in the street, but they certainly meet through hobbies, work and random social events. If you have some dating requirement that instantly cuts your dating pool significantly, the chance of finding someone at a generic event also drops. This holds true for both divorced seniors and gay people, but with being gay there's the additional difficulty of narrowing down people at an event - at least the divorced seniors can identify the seniors in a room.
