> however the fact that CHOP armed guards killed more black teens in that ~2 week period than SPD in the past 6 months made me question if it was possible to logically consistently support both CHOP and BLM

Being able to hold conflicting beliefs simultaneously is the hallmark of a failed political ideology.
Yes, "interesting" what narratives people emphasize without evidence to support their worldview.

The great thing about the Apple ][ was that it was largely the work of Woz and thus it was very much possible for a single person to fully understand the whole thing. Even the addition of AppleSoft BASIC and DOS didn't keep it from being comprehensible.
Thanks for the reply. Aside from the coherence and consistency issues you've noted, does the output actually conform to the specified plot summary, or does it deviate from it?
What is on your future roadmap doesn't matter at all, if it's not going to ship in time to compete with your rivals in the current generation.

In the next generation, Apple is going to gain a process node advantage, and level the playing field for the first time in respect to power and thermal envelope.

Given that they were already in the same ballpark as Intel and AMD without any of those advantages, we're in for a sea change.
Actually, this raises a very good point. I'm Tate, a co-founder. Our publishing system works in a way that users will be able to publish malicious modules, yes, but our registry is not decentralized up to a certain point; let me elaborate on this. If a user finds that a module is malicious and wants to report it, we can remove it from the registry completely because the registry is centralized. Though this data will still be accessible from the blockchain and the import url will be functional, we're building a system to warn the user whenever the url is imported from a Deno-specific response header. Now, after a certain amount of time has passed and a module isn't reported as malicious, we're building a system to automatically publish the entire registry to the blockchain as well, so that the registry AND the module are immutable. This is called Fossil, our "archiver." You can see its code here: https://github.com/nestdotland/fossil Again, thanks for bringing this up. I hope this explanation helped. Our goal certainly is not to promote or enable malicious code!
> The converse of this is that protective trade policies have a cost. If the US government is going to protect its native semiconductor industry, it will be shielding inferior engineering from competition, doing so at the expense of US consumers and taxpayers.

Protective trade polices have a costs, but free trade polices have costs too--they're just different ones.
> Did you just say "said nobody ever" to someone who literally just said that?

No they did not. If you read it carefully you'll note there's a slight change. I missed it too on first read.
From the statistics I've been seeing, of the people who get it, the mortality rate is closer to 10%. And the virus is so damned contagious that with no counter measures taken everyone would get it with say 18 months. And that would literally decimate the population. Not to mention all the devastating follow on covid-19 side effects some of which, it appears, never go away.
We've already established their irrationality. They're more afraid of a 3-in-a-million chance of something versus a 5000-in-a-million chance of the same thing via a passive path. The question is why. I do agree that social media can amplify the effect, but so can two people who share the same fear sitting in the same room. How did those two people get that fear in the first place?
Not related to this case, but GitHub is a rare "social network" in western world that also available for mainland Chinese people.
>Fortress rolled off the drawing board and onto the runway in a mere 12 months

Now that's something you don't see these days! I wonder what has slowed development so much, is it more complexity? It seems like a B-17 would be considered extremely complex in 1940.
Why don’t you apply for unemployment benefits?
I run GoboLinux on all machines I own. The distro provides an infrastructure for experimenting with different ideas at the filesystem and package management layers, which are activities aligned with my personal interests. I've been a core developer since its early days for a reason :)

The problems are associated with the fact it's a niche, research-oriented distro: due to the lack of man-power, one often needs to write compilation recipes for several programs (and potentially having to patch them) before being able to build and run them. Many things that are taken for granted when you run a major distro are not there.

Despite the limitations, I always have a hell of a good time developing and using the distro; it's been 18 years so far. We also have a small community of people who identify themselves with the distro's proposals and who are comfortable enough to live with its limitations. Many of them became active recipe contributors over the years.
The title should probably have a (2016), that's the last release.

Sounds useful if you have to work with some limited/restricted systems where you cannot just install something.

However, the listed limitations sound like a blocker in every somewhat modern distro. No ASLR, no VDSO. ASLR can be disabled temporarily or for selected processes, but disabling VDSO is not easy without reboot I believe (have never tried)

Did not understand whether the limitations apply to source or target system or both.

Maybe there is a reason that this promising tool is not well-known? Or does anybody here use it?
A breakdown of mortality by age group and prior health conditions shows that not everyone is equally at risk.
This is a really fascinating conversational pattern. It's like I said "when I let go of a ball it falls down to the ground" and you said "the meaning of 'falling' is a question as old as Genesis, and 'down' depends on your frame of reference." There's a sense in which both of those things are true, just like everything you've said here. And yet.
For a brief period in 2013 the facility was looking for money and allowed public visitation. I visited during that time, and I loved the experience of seeing these animals face to face (through glass) in person. Sue was not there (supposedly sick... but perhaps looking back this was just an excuse). It was a little weird how the staff interacting with the Bonobos were (I believe) all related to Sue.

Few photos of my visit (felt a little like Jurassic Park while entering).

Another long article about Kanzi and another famous ape, Koko: https://slate.com/technology/2014/08/koko-kanzi-and-ape-lang...

Disclaimer: Like many things I've done in my life (visiting zoos and aquariums, eating meat, etc) I'm not sure whether I made the right ethical choice to visit. Certainly was a selfish decision, not sure I caused any harm or if that harm was worth my enjoyment.
What exactly led you to believe that the anarcholeftists who set up CHOP and the racial justice folks who started Black Lives Matter seven years earlier subscribe to the same "political ideology"? This is like arguing that technolibertarian atheists and born again evangelicals can't agree on God, therefore conservatism is a failed ideology.

For the record: put me in the "police are needed to deter obvious crime and violence" camp AND the "we do WAY too much policing of things other than immediate criminal behavior" group. How's that for failed?
Who'd guess that advocating for less policing without providing a clear alternative would be terrible for everyone except for those who can pay for private security.

Even bad cops are better than no cops.
I've never really thought of twitter as a social network more of a collection of grandstands or soapboxes or something all with people holding megaphones with a 10 second limit all yelling at the same time and sometimes the people around your megaphone will yell your message out to the people near their soap boxes. The more important you are, the taller your soapbox and and the farther the sound goes, but your megaphone still only works for 10 seconds at a time.
Intel refusing Apple's business and not moving into handheld mobile devices put a whole lot of R&D money into the pockets of Intel's rivals.

I doubt TSMC would have been able to afford to catch up to Intel without their current high volume business.
That, or they slap huge markups for these otherwise unpopular products.

Try to find a popular 16-bit ADS1115 ADC on digikey. They offer SMD 10X2QFN chip for $8, 10VSSOP for $10, assembled adafruit board for $22 (!!!) or DFRobot board for $15 (exact same board is half the price on ebay).

In comparison, ADS1115 boards from aliexpress are $2.
> I don't think I ever observed crash.

It got a lot better quickly, but running with thread was crashy with a lot of threads. I don't remember crashes with single threaded/forking mode though, and I ended up with a forking config when I was setting something up at my last job.
If you join a company that grows fast enough and put enough work in, you should be able to hit seniority and get promotions really fast. I'm usually able to master a segment of an entirely new tech stack within 6 months, no matter how complex, assuming that it's well documented.

Generally, a lot of companies prefer that someone has ownership over a segment of the architecture, so there will be opportunities to grow, assuming the company is decent.
The top reason would be our body and or immune system was impacted the first time.

I still disagree.

More harm is killing children. Distance learn if possible. If not, then yes, we're not going to be teaching them like we should. Killing them and their families isn't a realistic alternative.

Does this situation suck? Of course. Massively so.

Without other alternatives (like a vaccine or a massive reduction in cases that can allow for contact tracing) I'm not seeing how sending them to avoidable death is acceptable.

Per the politicians, call them and demand change. Write in local papers about them. Do something other than giving up. It;s a lot easier to call their offices than to attend zoom funerals.
In my mind, it is only a social network if I know whom I am networking with and they know who I am in real life. Reddit isn’t a social network since no one on there knows who I am and to the best of my knowledge I’ve never interacted with the same person on there twice. Anonymous is not social.
There is no reason to assume it will endure either.

What we need to do is be conservative and gather data and work to understand better.

Right now, our understanding is limited. We do not yet have a full cycle behind us. That's one year minimum.

Until we have a more solid basis, the risks are minimized for everyone by operating in a risk adverse way.

We are in a global scenario, rapidly moving to endemic mode.

Far too many are not reasonable and prudent and we all will pay for that.
I covered that in the 2nd paragraph. Publishing hate speech is not against the law, it's not even a real definition. The greater point is that the company can do what it wants but we should be wary as companies turn into major oligopolies/monopolies with arbitrary unaccountable policies. See Youtube and Facebook for the current crisis.
Also, what a lot of arm-chair-from-the ivory-tower-quarterbacks don't understand is that most people that don't buy brand new vehicles or even certified pre-owned vehicles is that depreciation isn't really that critical.

Because if you are using your already well used car or a newly purchased well used car, the vast majority of the depreciation has already happened. The main reason you keep it is for tax reasons, not to calculate profit.

My 10 year old car is in great shape but has 175k miles on it. It would work fine to drive for Uber with. The resale value is $3500 at best. Putting another $100k driving for Uber would not affect that resale value very much and even if it did, it can only go to zero.

And no, maintenance doesn't become significantly more expensive on a higher mileage car. In fact, as a 10 year old vehicle, it is significantly less difficult and expensive to have it repaired and the replacement parts are significantly less expensive as well due to the availability of aftermarket and salvage options.
It sucks though, as you can only run one sandbox at a time and there is no notion of persistence.
I understood that joke to mean, "Maxim components are so expensive that the grey market is about the only place the layman can afford them in more than 1-off prototype quantities."

At least that was my experience 8 or so years ago when I made the mistake of purchasing a lot of 100 MAX7219 off eBay for $100 shipped from China...$1/ea was such a tempting deal to a younger, more naive self when these chips were selling for upwards of $7/ea from ECIA-authorized distributors at the time.

Never fell for that trap again.
A well written overview. I think what is sometimes not read well by 'why don't we..' type comments is that the non-deterministic quality of this is quite strong. We can say your predicted risk as an 80 yo is higher than an 8 yo but we can't say much else. So, the 1% mortality and how it distributes over a cohort by age, sex, (ok more men) co-morbidities (ok so overweight, type-2 and pre-diabetic) .. but then we can't really say "oh, you're the high risk for subsequent heart attack" or "yep: you'll face life crippling mental acuity hits" or "we have to amputate now"

Ask anyone if they will take 1 in 100 risk and they will casually say yes. Ask again, if you present them with real risks of life changing outcome at shorter odds, they may reflect.

I wouldn't stand in front of a 1-in-100 russian-roulette machine personally.
30 years ago it was the left that was criticizing globalism. Apart from a fringe wing of the Republican party [Pat Buchanan, etc.], anybody on the "right" or "center" was doggedly pro free trade until just a few years ago, and those of us on the left who protested the introduction of NAFTA, or opposed the WTO, IMF, or the G7 or (like myself) got teargassed at the Summit of the Americas weren't shouted down and called "racist" but told we were economically illiterate and just you wait, all this free market will make China democratic...

In Canada the only party to consistently oppose NAFTA and the FTA was the NDP, the left wing party.
I am working on a non-profit and open source idea[0]. It is at a very early stage. Let me know what you think. Happy to chat. My email id is in my profile.

Just last week the project was invited to participate in Mozilla Builders Open Lab. Let me know if you want to join me in making education completely free and at the same time increase income of education institutions and its staff. This is not very easy to achieve, it will take a very along time and lots of efforts. But with technology it can be achieved. The stakeholders in this project are government(education policymakers, politicans), education institutions, students and businesses.

Let's work through this example. You're a manufacturer of devices using FTDI chips. You make an emergency system for airplanes which e.g. releases breathing equipment, or life rafts, or similar. Or a backup avionics system. Due to a supply chain slip-up, a small number of counterfeit devices slipped in.

An emergency comes up, and the instant the emergency system comes up, it turns out to have been bricked. People die. Is this a good outcome?

If I were a manufacturer, I'd want to know about this ASAP. Would I want devices to stop working? Especially the examples you gave where people's lives are on the line? Absolutely not. I'd want them to work as well as possible until a replacement can go out.

Pro-consumer would be a pop-up letting the user know they received a counterfeit devices. I can then contact whoever sold me the device, and ask for a replacement. During cross-shipping, I can keep working. Anti-consumer is having my business trip and fall on its face when all the pen tablets which allow people to work from home are bricked during a pandemic.

Of course the counterfeit manufacturers are the bad guys. But FTDI is a company I'd never do business with either. If I'm an FTDI partner, and I got the wrong product, we were both cheated. I'm no more at fault than FTDI.

Should FTDI smack me and my customers upside the head for it? Well, that means we're not really partners.
Oh, I'm sure of that. But the point I was trying to make is that he wasn't going for accuracy to ancient myth, just as Ginsberg wasn't.

Many if not most just see Uber driving as a stop gap. So they are basically just trading equity in the vehicle they already have for money to get by right now and they know it.
Do you have good insight into the effect on the economy of randomly killing a high percentage of type-2 diabetes? I know we like to ideate the poor into this state, but have you considered the effect on the economy, if the supersize-me generation at large in the economy at all levels suddenly took a king-hit?
Actually if you do proper yoga and meditation you'll get a better handling of your thoughts. Provided that things are so volatile today in day to day life ,it might not guarantee the same effect as it did hundreds of years back.
Recommendations for command center/dashboard to centralize scripts
I’m starting to amass a number of scripts. Some are manually triggered, but some can be automated to run routinely. Is there any software that provides an interface to centralize these scripts to make it easier to execute them? Like a dashboard? Most of the scripts are either Python or Bash. Appreciate any thoughts.
> BTW the long term costs are equivalent because of gas and maintenance savings and the lifetime of a Model 3 being 3x longer, and it also keeps your family alive unlike the Skoda or other cars which are not as safe.

The same argument have been used for VW/Audi diesel cars since the 90s, alongside resale value. It doesn't hide the fact that Tesla are extortionate outside the USA, and have used some questionable practices to survive in this cut-throat market against long established corporation.
What is this phenomenon where garbage proliferates?

I'd like to note, this is from before the Mayor ordered the cops back in to break it up.

This quote however is a worthy take away:

"As for “Defund the Police,” that slogan doesn’t mean get rid of the police completely. It’s to cut their budget and demilitarize their roles while boosting social services. This is a rational goal, but we can already see one possible unintended outcome if the people of Seattle perceive that traditional police services are declining. Those with money will just hire their own “high threat private protection services.” They’re already doing it.

There’s a ton of work to be done reforming the police. But going back to the Pinkerton’s era has got to be one of worst ways to reduce inequality in a city already riven by it."
You might not buy em from eBay/Alibaba - but the guy your contract manufacturer goes to might end up getting them from the same source as the eBay/Alibaba vendors do - either knowingly or unwittingly.

We ended up with 3 spools of counterfeit WS2812Bs that had cheapskated out on some data line capacitors on the die. Totally fucked the emitted RF noise levels compared to the same thing build with genuine ones, and intermittently flaked out when trying to run high speed data updates long-ish distance - the lights 6-7m and 40-50 leds from the controller weren't reliable...

Manufacturer and their supplier were very good at fixing things for us once the problem was discovered and attributed to bad components, but it was a very stressful lead to the xmas supply chain back then. (Then the entire company fell apart for different reasons, but the stress and expense of that incident was quite likely a strong contributor to those the triggering of those company-ending reasons... :shrug:)

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I do think that loans are a definite room for improvement in terms of reducing the cost of higher education.

I will think how to approach this if I choose to do. I do not feel motivated to go into the political space - which is why I prefer a technology-focused approach. I will sit on these thoughts and see if I can come up with something I am comfortable taking on - thanks again!
I use Arch also, as a desktop. I like:

* Rolling releases which mostly doesn't break things
* Solid package management
* Doesn't handhold too much, while still not being too much of a pain to get a desktop going
* Doesn't start services because you install them (Debian/Ubuntu)
* Doesn't try and force snaps and an essentially proprietary store on you (Ubuntu)
* Still popular enough to have momentum behind it (problems are Google-able)

I don't really like:

* systemd. It's almost a necessary evil at this point, but not quite

I also use Alpine on my personal server. The package manager is blazing fast, and it uses OpenRC, which I prefer over systemd. I know the musl memory allocator isn't all the fast, which bothers me, but not enough to rebuild it with a different distro. busybox is also a bit bothersome sometimes (/etc/network/interfaces syntax is a bit limited, for example).

It is very difficult to transform N2 to a molecule that is biological useful, only some bacteria can do it (some live in special nodules in the roots of some plants) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_fixation and there are some artificial process to do it (mostly to make fertilizer and explosives) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process . An excess of fertilizers (directly from plants or from the mature) can produce problems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algal_bloom

(Anyway, that sentence about N2 is very weird.)
If I recall correctly, FTDI took some well deserved heat, but quickly discontinued this practice.
Get a mosquito net for your bed, and screens on doors and windows. Fans facing you (ex: watching TV) is good for preventing bites inside.

For outside, covering yourself with clothing is the most effective. The only two repellents shown effective in trials AFAIK are DEET and picaridin. Picaridin is much safer so use that.

Also it’s good to be aware of feeding time. In my area the species of mosquito feeds at dusk, so I’m never outside at that time.
