So that raises its own set of interesting questions that hits at the core of the issues that the article discusses: why is it the case that 9.4% of businesses are black-owned yet only generate 3% of revenue? Are there issues with, say, obtaining a loan? Do they face challenges to growth that white-owned businesses do not? When fixated on the statistics, it's easy to forget the human questions around the disparity.
For context :

Blacks own about 2.6 million businesses or 9.5 percent of all U.S. businesses

The 19 million white-owned businesses have 88 percent of the overall sales, and control 86.5 percent of U.S. employment, while black businesses have a mere 1.3 percent of total American sales, and 1.7 percent of the nation’s employees.

___

The article doesn't clarify if by percent they mean number of loan applications approved or % of loan funding allocated.

If it the former, then black businesses have received far fewer loans than their representative amount. If it is by revenue, then it is actually inline with the ir representation in population.

___

> Monday shows that of the 14 percent of businesses that chose to identify race in their loan application, Black-owned businesses received 1.9 percent of loans while White-owned businesses received 83 percent.

Might be interesting to see if this trend held when black owners did not identify themselves.
This makes a lot of sense actually, motorized vehicles have a lot more trouble with slopes than people (and pack animals) do.

Also, in Roman times road construction had to be done entirely by hand and out of stone. Modern "pouring" of roads with asphalt or concrete was not yet a thing back then, so it makes sense to try and limit the hard work of construction as much as possible.
> Congress will have no choice but to make a law breaking the promise and repatriating the land out of Native American hands.

Oklahoma seems to have only five US Representatives (and two senators of course). It would be ridiculous if seven Congress members can hold a nation hostage.

I don't understand the full implications of this ruling but I don't see how I can support breaking more promises because of political gamesmanship over five representatives out of four hundred and thirty five.

From what I read in this thread, all crimes will still be prosecuted, but by a federal court of law. I don't see a problem.

Why is this "modern replacement for OpenSSH" when people use ssh specifically because it's so simple and doesn't have webui? There have been many ssh webuis in the last decade, none of them were "replacements" of ssh, just wrappers for people scared of terminals. What exactly does it do that 20 other ssh wrappers (or even portainer for containers) don't?

> Until today, the imposter's colleagues still know her as Chen Chunxiu, say media reports. Her degree has since been revoked and she has been sacked from her job. A government report says she is still under investigation.

Is it nuts to anyone else that the more powerful, socially connected person stole the poorer but better scoring person's identity for not only school, but continued to be her professionally for years after?

I was reading and wondering what good this did if someone else got the degree, and was flabbergasted to see that the imposter just decided to take over the identity in perpetuity. I would assume in the west that usually only happens when the imposter's original identity is problematic (a criminal, poor and trying to hob-nob with elites, etc). In this case we have the child of an obviously well connected (and I assume well-off) official willing to take over someone else's identity.
It's a bit messy. The US defines them as "domestic dependent nations". You're correct that they couldn't do those things - Federal law has been deemed to apply to Native Americans in most scenarios, and treaties (often broken/disregarded) give and take certain rights.

In any event, a tribe trying to build a nuke would likely be in the same scenario Iraq and Iran find themselves in, regardless of law or treaty.
Seems like this mainly notes changes in this release.

https://gravitational.com/teleport is the landing page with more feature details.

I think a short list of features interesting to me is:

* SSH CA integrated with whatever SSO you have, removing need to distribute SSH authorized_keys files.

* SSH Bastion & Server with audit logging. Record sessions, who did what. Needed for many security-sensitive environments.

* Reverse-tunnel mode, where devices without public IPs (or a vpn) can connect to your bastion server. Useful if you're deploying computers "in the field" that you want remote access to, without needing additional VPN or port forwarding, etc.

If Congressional lockdown was useless, it would've been fixed. Clearly, there's plenty of interests that favor a Congress/Senate that isn't able to move legislation forward.

The recognition of what right? How is it right to govern without consent? Take a moment to consider that the world can not go back to 1950 as some Republicans would like and it can not go back to 1850 as apparently some Democrats would like.

You believe its right to subject a person who lives in Oklahoma, who has never lived in a country other than the USA, who has never stolen anyone's land, to the non-representative rule of a person (who's land was never stolen) because of their racial origin?

I'm very interested in the ideology that led you to these beliefs.
Gorsuch is definitely my favorite Justice. His opinions are always fun to read. You know when the words "Trail of Tears" appear in the first sentence of a decision that things aren't going to turn out well for the government...
All fallout from the war on drugs. I wish lawmakers would see that prohibition does nothing to curb drug production and use. It just pushes everything underground where a vast market is controlled by ruthless gangs who think nothing of torture and murder. We should accept that a) humans have used drugs for millennia and hoping this will just stop is hopelessly naive, b) invest in actually helping people who’re struggling with addiction instead of criminalising them. Also, as a bonus, c) explore medical uses for substances currently banned.

It may be simpler to play with ZFS on VMs. The VM-disks will be small and inefficient, but "good enough" to prove whether or not the system works.

Not that I've tried any of this before. I happened to have an old computer lying around with ~4 small hard drives that I messed with to learn the ins-and-outs of ZFS the first time I used it. (Shuck hard drives, pull them out of laptops, etc. etc. Its not really that hard to get 4 hard drives to play with, especially if you ask your friends for ancient laptops with 200gb drives or something)

Yeah they needed a lot of big paving stones which I'm guessing were a relatively scarce resource,

Not to mention that road building was a military practice done by the army to facility the moving of large armies. Travel time took priority.
Just because there are huge profit margins doesn't mean that there aren't people who were relying on pocketing the street value, or something similar. Whoever can move such vast quantities of drugs obviously employs hundreds of people who expect to get paid.
What nonsense, firstly OP clearly is specifically referring to the budget outlay for education, and even if taken more broadly I can assure you throughout the world there are plenty of governments whose spending is constrained by current income and who very much do aim to minimise expenditure for a given outcome (predictably often with the effect of greatly worsening outcomes).
Of course better off people prefer these areas to high density housing. Even better off people might get into gated communities, which could be called extended family just as well. And this is a far worse situation.

Yes, the suburban happy family living the American dream might be a touch too idealistic, harsh building regulation might drive prices which disadvantages poor demographics and there were maybe people that used it for racist purposes. Doesn't mean everyone did. And high density housing is probably a lot more stressful even without a family apart from the most expensive options available.

Here's a different take. I tried a few times over the last years to figure out his last name, and failed. I didn't spend much time on it, but there was definitely a barrier there. Had the NYT published it, not only would that barrier have disappeared, but a large spotlight would suddenly have been shone on the name, and probably an onslaught of much-higher-profile internet articles about him/it, and quite possibly a large scandal. We're getting a bit of that with things like this New Yorker piece, but it's probably nothing compared to what it would have been if the NYT article had named him and the blog had stayed up. You seem to be arguing that not much would have changed since his name was a poorly kept secret anyhow. I think that has to be wrong. Tons would have changed. There has been a minor avalanche of attention as it is, and probably like a lot of casual readers, I know his name now. But deleting the blog was maybe a good way to prevent the minor avalanche from turning into a major one. Of course, that doesn't mean that his stated reasons for deleting the blog were his real reasons. My thought was that he was looking for an out anyhow and this was a good pretext, though that theory isn't consistent with participating in an NYT profile to begin with (edit: unless he realized partway through the NYT process that it wasn't going to be in his interests to go through with it).
I agree, it's far past time to remove California's unconstitutional gun laws.
The only way to stop our neverending war on drugs is a Constitutional amendment that guarantees every American the right to consume anything they want for any reason. In the next several decades there will be un unprecedented number of elderly Americans living below the poverty line with no pension and medical issues they can't afford to fix - euthanasia will become something of a nuclear option that they'll want available as a last resort. An amendment that guarantees the right to consume any plant/drug/chemical/etc. will have a chance if it's bundled with a 'right to die with dignity', allowing elderly individuals a euthanasia option.
> humans have used drugs for millennia

That's ignoring the modern refinement of drugs into far more powerful substances than they were even 50 years ago.
This reeks of fake.

I would guess the 'sound proofing' is to hide drugs.

You can use the PPP to pay yourself as well.

That said for me it didn’t seem worth it, as I wouldn’t get unemployment during that time - and if I somehow screwed up it would mean I’d need to repay it. No chance of that on unemployment.
No, the real value is the wholesale value at the port. What someone might pay to be able to pick up that amount at that place, or alternatively the marginal price i.e. what it cost to get the goods to that port.

Is the “real” value of a field of corn ready to harvest the cost of the seed? the market price per bushel? the retail price of the tens of thousands of boxes of corn flakes?

The value of anything accumulates with every action that is done to it and every piece of capital involved. A wholesale good at port is in the middle of that process and has not had all of its end value added yet.
Perhaps, but how often do you hear tortured, nonsensical phrasing like "the suspect's gun shot the victim" when discussing non-police incidents?

Sometimes the voice switches mid-tweet when the subject does:

> Washington, D.C.: Protesters struck a journalist with his own microphone.

"A photographer was shot" (cop), "A reporter was hit" (cop), but "Protesters struck".

>But, rather than an irrelevant "bitter" lesson about how big machines can perfom more computations than a human, a really useful lesson -and one that we haven't yet learned, as a field- is why humans can do so well without search

I think the answer is heuristics based on priors(e.g. board state), which we've demonstrated (with alphago and derivatives, especially alphago zero) that neural networks are readily able to learn.

This is why I get the impression that modern neural networks are quickly approaching humanlike reasoning - once you figure out how to

(1) encode (or train) heuristics and

(2) encode relationships between concepts in a manner which preserves a sort of topology (think for example of a graph where nodes represent generic ideas)

You're well on your way to artificial general reasoning - the only remaining question becomes one of hardware (compute, memory, and/or efficiency of architecture).
think mobile - isp are the place to conduct baseband attacks from.
I wonder this about VPN providers. I mean, spinning up the infrastructure could be made push-button, all you need to do is slap a website together and give it an ad budget. If I was a state security service, I'd be running at least a dozen of them - probably at a loss so I can hit an attractive price point. Multiply that dozen by the number of state security services that exist...

Perhaps a call to action would be better communication then, rather than your clumsy attempt to raise awareness. You came across as condescending and critical. So well done you in your volunteer work, but perhaps work on your communication style if you were actually looking to promote donating to the cause instead of criticising someone else's achievement.
Yes, when Bill Bixby (founder of CPLEX and Gurobi, companies that made and still make the fastest MIP solvers in the world) revealed similar numbers a few years ago, many of us practitioners were astounded too.

But those improvements were also a product of lots of smart people funded by cash-rich industries (i.e. oil & gas, airlines... MIPs are big bucks commercially. I recall at one point a commercial CPLEX license was $100k list) poking at the problem for over 30 years. Many Ph.D.s in operations research and mathematical optimization were generated on this topic alone.
It would probably kill snapchat and force many groups to other platforms.
Rules e.g. establish markets and enable competition: Standard screws or standard contracts. The absence of basic rules like disclosure of service prices is doubling the cost of US health care. Other rules force the airlines to compete on services and price but not on safety.

> Since you don't propose a 3rd possibility

n.b. off the top, the whole problem here is you're reasoning about this like you're omniscient because theres a finite # of logic gates, but we're human and know there isn't a finite number of possibilities, so it's nails on a chalkboard in what otherwise is a coherent argument

I affirmed the 3rd (n.b. of many!) possibility you offered already, so I won't waste your time by reaffirming it
I wish people could take a step back from the “shrink government” debate and focus on making laws more effective and efficient.

I could write a piece of code that adds two numbers but takes two days and all available memory to compute the result.

A lot of laws are on all levels of government from both sides of the isle are well intentioned but the costs surrounding the laws are prohibitive.

That doesn’t imply we need less laws, that doesn’t imply we don’t have enough laws, it means we need to take a hard look at where the bottlenecks are and streamline the process and to achieve the desired result.

The answer at that Stack Overflow question is seriously incomplete (and even it doesn’t say there’s no cache). Browsers today will, for the most part, cache CDN responses, not need to revalidate them, and share that cache across sites (though I think first-party isolation changes that to a per-site cache).
There is a movement for polyamorous marriage. A city in Massachusetts just recognized that arrangement for domestic partnerships. I think, like with same-sex marriage, most people would struggle to think of a reason to be against it that isn't rooted in appeals to tradition.

> Reverse-tunnel mode, where devices without public IPs (or a vpn) can connect to your bastion server.

This may be a ridiculous question, but what's wrong with a VPN in this scenario? Or even a SOCKS proxy, which is already widely deployed and supported? You say "without needing additional VPN or port forwarding", but I'm curious what advantages it offers over using a VPN.

Probably some local law? There are 50 states and much more cities, every one of them can have an "Assault Weapon" legislation with whatever definition they want, starting from the color and ending with the "shoulder thing that goes up".

Also, barrel length is one of the most common theme in firearms bans. Usually those consist of legal limits on the minimum barrel length in an effort to prevent people from concealing it, I guess.
Right, so you could say that "being available for PC soon" means that's "where the puck is going", correct? Which was my original point. The PS5 is a video game console, but isn't just commodity hardware, but is actually pushing the limits of computing in a way that the PC industry will soon adopt.

Also. It might be much longer than "soon". Though Sony is targeting the next gen SSD specs (unlike Microsoft), there will need to be a new generation of motherboards and CPU upgrades before PCs will be able to come close to the PS5 bandwidth, even with the same exact next gen SSD.
Well, Congress is only able to abdicate their responsibility because we have departed from our "Constitutional design." All 3 branches now write law, not to mention other unelected government agencies, so Congress is now free to avoid doing their job and point the finger at someone else instead.
