>>> the flaw... only exploitable on Windows 7 and older Windows systems, which are end-of-life and no longer supported by Microsoft

Windows 7 is supported until 2023 in enterprise. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a quarter of the userbase.
It doesn't mean its productive. We could be spending half a trillion on civil engineering to rebuild cities, roads, high speed rail, canals, etc. That has appreciable and visible benefits to society.

Occupying a desert on the other side of the world largely to disrupt oil pipelines seems less effective as stimulus.
> suffering of others

I always ask Uber drivers why they are driving. The reasons are alway to the tune of:

* Part-time (sick family member, needs extra cash, etc)
* He can drive 14h/day and make bank (up to 5 times the minimum wage)
* He is unemployed
* Previously worked a blue collar, minimum wage jog with a shitty boss. Makes almost double minimum wage with no shitty boss

The "suffering of others" isn't caused by the gig economy.

Simply removing the gig economy does nothing to help those in need. It serves only to pat yourself on the back and think you are ridding the world from capitalist oppression.

Focus on removing the suffering of others first, and the gig economy will collapse on its own.
Common Lisp is not terribly slow to start, and people rely on its REPL when programming in it. Even Python's REPL is quite popular, and it's not slow to start either.

The REPL is relied on because it's useful for exploring parts of a system or program. It's like being able to both dissect and vivisect the system without having to go through all the normal issues of setting up a debugger and instrumentation. The environment and program is just there.
Race is a protected class. It's a protected class because it has been used to discriminate in the past and it's unchangeable.

Speech or opinions aren't a protected class for discrimination.

So your analogy isn't apt.

Does anyone else feel we're suddenly supposed to be anti-China? Is it because of Hong Kong? (Honest question, I have no strong opinion .) Because it feels like after Russia and Muslims now China is the new enemy. Kind of stupid imho. Anyway, the high road would probably be not to ban any apps but to make the operating systems safer..

It always mystifies me that philosophical debates can even get that far when it's impossible to prove that a mind can know a truth because it begs the question.

It's hard to even follow that previous sentence with my own view because it presupposes its own conclusion: Some things you just have to take on faith. For me, the definition of free will is action outside of the constraint of fate. And I'm not sure if it's a fantasy or not, but if fate does not exist, I'd be much more likely to take it on faith that free will does exist. But again, the whole playing field of this discussion is denied because it presupposes that a mind can know a truth, and I've yet to see any reasoning that that can be proven, let alone an actual proof.
It seems strange to me that you want Quibi to die so that you can get your attention span back. To cut these things out of your life.

Why are only millionaires your candidates for who people who could be powerless in this situation instead of the vast majority of the non-millionaire population?

As for JK Rowling's essay, it's one of those things everyone should read for themselves. The vast majority of people reading it will not come to the conclusion that Rowling is anti-trans, and they will probably agree with her. Rather, there seems to be a lot more smoke than fire when you read it after hearing how anti-trans Rowling obviously must be.

I'm not a fan of the "dogwhistle" accusation. I just see it as a fashionable way to accuse someone of saying something that they didn't say. Like people claiming the Harper letter is clearly anti-trans when the only "trans" in it is "transgression": https://twitter.com/LLW902/status/1280547024014905346/photo/...

> At some point you either have to admit [...] or that you have created some arbitrary line in the sand

Life in a society is full of arbitrary lines in the sand. When is a person allowed to drink alcohol? Where does your lot of land end and your neighbor's begin? How fast are you allowed to drive on this particular piece of road? Why do you consider the tax rate, of all things, to be so arbitrary?

For a functional society, you have to draw the line somewhere. Ideology instead of pragmatism is a recipe for failure. Being pragmatic is not hypocritical.

Part of dns actually prevents that. So long as you are using a browser that has implemented its use, dnd entries specifify the public signing key of the destination server, so if the browser receives a packet signed using a different certificate the Browser will prevent you from navigating there.

I know for a fact that Chrome and Firefox have implemented this as standard behavior specifically to prevent this kind of man in the middle attack, and have explicitly come out against previous government attempts to subvert this guarantee of privacy.

The biggest problem isn't that your own government might swap that orange you wanted for an apple, it's that by making it possible they also make it possible for a foreign government to do so, and they're likely to replace the orange with cyanide.

The US government has tried and failed to push this kind of idiocy through every other year for the last 2 decades. Every major tech company tells them they will flat out refuse to compromise everyone's safety to accommodate idiocy and the attempt is ultimately dropped.
Wuhan locked down before hospitals were overrun - there were only a handful of deaths by Jan 23. The lagging nature of cases, severe cases, and deaths means locking down needs to be well in advance of the spike to be completely effective.

With all respect, you seem to be retreating here. I don't think I disagree with any of your remedies, they sound fine. They also sound like pretty much the way our society and internet culture already work.

So I can't tell what you're arguing against. If "cancel culture" isn't the giant problem you originally jumped into argue against, and our existing protections are already in place... what are you arguing against?

I'm not saying that people aren't jerks on the internet. I'm saying that (1) it does happen at anything like the scale people like to think of (i.e. there is not Great and Terrible Woke Conspiracy), and (2) the excesses that are happening, at the scale they're happening at, are just not something we can "fix" via any remedy.

And the Rowling thing seems like a complete misinterpretation on your part. HUGE quantities of ink have been spilled at this point (including on this very site) explaining why the trans-exclusionary position is hurtful and counterproductive to modern feminism. Don't tell me she wasn't engaged with productive discourse. Rowling herself did like half a dozen interviews on the subject! You're acting like no one was willing to listen to her, when that's absolutely not the case.

You're saying that because someone was an asshole that means the rest of us are too? J. K. Rowling wasn't "canceled" in any way that matters. She was just wrong.

> It doesn't require 2FA reauthentication

I'm sorry but that's really being pedantic. Re-authentication is an authentication, again. You can change (remove!) a security factor with no confirmation of that particular factor for that particular action.

> You could say: "You don't need a password to log in to anyone's gmail account"

You could say it and it would be true, just not very interesting as this is exactly what everybody expects. But if you'd say you are allowed to change the password without entering the old one it would sound pretty much like what's happening here, no?

Google is not consistent with how they treat the 2 factors (password vs. second factor). At the very least they should make it clear when enabling it under what circumstances it can be disabled. No guarantee people will read but at least the more security concerned would. You can defend their decision if you want but contradicting the situation is really not "factual", it's just playing with words.
I'm wrong. _

That's essentially what it's supposed to do out of the box. The chip already communicates to the OS what its "best" and "good" cores are for single- and low-thread count workloads: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15137/amd-clarifies-best-core...

These are the cores that can turbo the highest.

You can attempt to manually OC higher, but that by & large doesn't work without extreme cooling. Typically instead it's about achieving higher all-core frequencies than the built in all-core turbo, typically via higher voltages & power limits (and of course much better-than-stock cooling)

Indeed if you look at single-thread cinebench numbers you'll find the 3960x & 3970x right in the middle of the 3700x, 3800x, and 3900x pack: https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_ryzen_threadripper...

They all hit around that same 4.5ghz single core turbo mark without any overclocking. And Zen2 by & large doesn't really go much beyond 4.5ghz anyway, so there's not all that much manual overclocking you can do without going sub-ambient cooling anyway.

The only real downside to Threadripper 3rd gen is the price. It's already a pretty killer jack-of-all-trades CPUs otherwise. It's a very competent gaming CPU without any tweaks at all right out of the box. It doesn't at all have the cons of the 1st & 2nd gen Threadrippers, which were actually NUMA and therefore came with huge gaming downsides.

The problem I have with images is that it is so easy to say things with them without having to take responsibility for any speech. Just imagine an Instagram feed but instead of pictures, it would read "I am so much more wealthy than you all" or "Look at me, I am happy" or "Hey! See how many friends I have?!" or "I've got such a beautiful body"? That would be more fun.

I think things are often planned on Twitter to some degree. A lot of the quasi-planned looting and rioting was mapped out on Twitter, for instance. It's a very rich source for information on these sorts of things.
There are links sprinkled all throughout the comments of instances of people having views erroneously attributed to them and the public pressure causing them to lose their jobs. Here's one I just read.[1] How prevalent these are, and whether they outweigh any positive effects of the behavior (or if you even believe there are positive effects) is probably a more nuanced question.

As a counterpoint, I imagine the amount of money the US government already spends on MS Office could fund development of something as good or better than Office, while giving it away free to the rest of society improving productivity. Although, I wouldn't bet on the management of that project playing out like that.
Evidently it works just fine since the bottom 60% of the population runs a surplus against the government since at least 2012[1].

If you find this interesting, there's a podcast by Eric Weinstein called the Portal and he has a 2+ hr long interview with Thiel. Some of the time they talk about these concepts of aggression and violence in societal terms, political correctness and Trump etc...

> China is Apple's second largest market.

At least for now. It's important to note that the Chinese government has a very strong campaign against American phones (and it's working), as backlash against the US for banning Huawei.

This is also why Apple is even less likely to do anything to further upset the CCP, not to mention they manufacture the bulk of their products there. But if Apple loses enough market share and/or moves enough production out of China, then they might change their tune as well.
This is not even true. We have symbolic processing that can manipulate and formulate with non-rational expressions. This article is so worthless.

When would i use your website?

The reason is simple: I need a resume.

Now what irritates me a lot is simple: Why would you offer a subscription?

I think you offer a subscription because you would like to have a self sustainable business. You were looking for something small to build and want to make money. Subscription means easy money.

But thats just wrong. I'm finding your webpage in the moment i need a resume. I need it now, i need one pdf to send to companies and thats it. I don't need it monthly and you spend resources in building something which doesn't fit my need

So how to make it better?

Think who would like to use you: a) a student -> money is tight, never wrote a resume b) someone who worked before and probably has enough money

This person needs to see in a glance how much it costs to get that resume, how easy it is and how it looks.

Your funnel needs to do this.

You need to tell someone 'you will create a super simple and smart resume and you will be able to download it at the end by paying 5$'. You can extend it after that person has created the cv with 'look if you pay now 20$, you can update your resume for the next 8 month and we also have 3 additonal features you can use'.

Then make it savable so that if that person, really should not have forgotten you when searching for a new job again, they are able to go to your website and continue where they left of.
I'm not sure this is correct. The REPL 'phase' of feature development tends to be useful before you want to ossify things in tests; it's excellent for exploratory thinking, and it encourages you to build a small suite of tools and state to tinker with, whereas tests cut through to use the minimal required tools and state to formulate the completed, trimmed down thought.

A subset of the studies you mention have in particular looked at illegal drug usage. Why are black people arrested at higher rates than white people if their rates of illegal drug use are the same? Surely it must be discrimination?

Not so fast. That's the conclusion often drawn, but at least one recent study has shown that Marijuana purchasing behavior differs significantly between blacks and whites.

From the study abstract: "Using trivariate probit regression with demographic, drug use, and drug market covariates, analyses reveal that African Americans are nearly twice as likely to buy outdoors (0.31 versus 0.14), three times more likely to buy from a stranger (0.30 versus 0.09), and significantly more likely to buy away from their homes (0.61 versus 0.48). These results provide an additional explanation for the differential in arrest rates between African Americans and Whites."

> China is Apple's second largest market. They are not removing it from the US App Store unless they are legally obligated to do so.

That's true. However Apple's hands are tied here due to this and they always bend to the side of China. Due to this, they are still being accused of hypocrisy.
China has been an American economic foe for a while. The CCP has stepped up measures and started to push their agenda and censorship globally. They have stepped up their presence in the South China sea and claimed ownership of international waters. They have clamped down on Hong Kong and other provinces, put Muslims in concentration camps using them as slave labor, stealing their organs, shaving their heads and selling the hair on the market. They've been using their state controlled enterprises to spy on people outside of their borders (I'm not saying the west is innocent 100% on that one.)

So...I don't think it's stupid at all. China (the CCP) is anti-freedom. The west is generally a liberal society.

I have often considered blogging anonymously because I do not feel free to write my nuanced philosophical views about the world anymore, as nuance is mostly dead in the public discourse and anything I write could easily offend someone and cause me problems. But I decided that if I believed something and I was willing to say it aloud, I should be willing to write it down with my name attached. In the end, it has had the effect somewhat of self-censure, because I know some things I cannot write down, so I won't say them aloud either, even though they're perfectly reasonable and not prejudicial. The flip side has been that it's freed me in other ways to be radically honest about who I am in my writing and has helped me to more carefully identify people who are worth attempting a rational dialogue with.

To a large degree, I think a lot of the challenges around nuance and offense-taking online are just a consequence of how communications being mediated by the Internet dehumanizes people. My experience has been that having a deep conversation over a drink in person generally leads to more positive outcomes, even with irreconcilable disagreements, than writing something online which can be excoriated on social media.

This article seems more focused on situations in which you are concerned about government action, but I think here in the West we've found that "cancel culture" and the like is more insidious and far-reaching in its own way.

But this information is already being cataloged. It's being published on a platform that explicitly catalogs it, for the public. Anyone tweeting on Twitter is doing so with the full knowledge that anything they say might get signal-boosted by someone with a high follower count and become a major public incident. It happens with extreme regularity. The idea that there is some kind of expectation of privacy here seems far-fetched to me.
