I'm not trying to say that the communication platform is the most important factor, but I don't see how it hurts to pose a question about it.
I've actually had coca tea, and it's basically just tea.
Yes, you're right. This opportunity hasn't been completely arbitraged away. Devote your time, and a moderate amount of technical chops, to this and you can likely make millions over the next 10 years.
I'm also quite liberal, and bought my first AR back in November 2016. I share your concerns. Your timing is bad, but I do think having a gun (preferably a modern rifle) is a good idea.

You're right that training is important. I don't think you'll find beginner classes right now, but I don't think an in person class is essential. The Shooting 101 series Lucky Gunner Ammo did is a decent start. Some outdoor ranges are still open, but that may not be an option where you are.
It does not help that our current president, AMLO, thinks "Abrazos no balazos" is the solution. Hugs not guns

Then he captures the son of El Chapo, and because they began threatening the government they let him go. It's just a disaster. At this point my only hope Trump is reelected so he puts some pressure on him to actually do something about the problem.
It's nice that Cloudflare provides their services for free but scrubbing has existed for a long time. With your own address space and an appropriate budget it's not difficult to have Cloudflare/Akamai/AWS announce your IP space with a higher weight than a direct path to your infrastructure. That will give you a little bit more fault tolerance for incidents like these.
The forehead-slappingly stupid attempt to cancel Steven Pinker
Australia's is an interesting case because the recent spike coincides (~2 week lag) with the lifting of most of the restrictions. It's also only really spiking in one state (although NSW may be slipstreaming Victoria).

This is evidence that the lockdown rules were having a significant effect on suppression, and eradication may have been within reach had the easing been delayed another month or two.
I don't know of any company that would be using a public VPN service for anything related to work. Typically "work VPNs" are running on systems that the employer controls, set up by someone employed by the company, and meant solely for employees to connect to - there is no reason any company would want or need to use a public VPN provider for their corporate network VPN. It just doesn't make any sense to me why you would suggest it.
It is completely different product, any GSuite accounts gets this included for free.

It has weird relationship with Hangouts. It was previously called "Hangouts Chat" but that was too confusing (doh) so they've changed it to "Google Chat"

When someone sends you a message there, it sometimes pops in your Gmail Hangouts widget... So a lot of people are not aware it exists.
Exactly. I know people who shoot 2000 rounds in a weekend of target practice. This might be a large amount in a country where guns are rare, but it's nothing in the US.

Most of these companies made fatal mistakes. Hertz bought compact cars as the market shifted towards SUVs. Neiman Marcus failed to build a robust e-commerce offering unlike their competitor Nordstroms. Jc penny probably wasn’t the fault of exec team as the market shifted away from malls.
I think you need 3 levels. First level gets you to the second level. 2nd gets access to web-based email and bitcoin or single-use credit card payment to get the third level, which accesses data.

Obviously you use assumed identity.

With only two layers you'd need to access emails, say, for account confirmation direct from your own system; with 3 you put a VPN in that gap.

Do VPNs re-pack and modify the timing on packages they pass on to clients? It seems like they're need to if they're too avoid coordination attacks.

I'm recalling how a research paper showed an extraordinary high number of pages visited (80%) over HTTPS could be identified using page size alone. If a TLA is watching all traffic into and out of a VPN's server can they pair upstream traffic to downstream clients at all?
So you've got a situation where the natural reservoir of the viruses is geographically proximal to a lab that was set up to specifically study these diseases. It's a conspiracy theorist's wet dream
It has happened before multiple times, so clearly it can happen.

This feels like confusing weather and climate, and working backwards from a conclusion.

The evolutionary chance to make a single virus so well suited to human hosts is probably very small. If you take a single event and work backwards it seems very unlikely.

But in aggregate over time, it'll happen fairly regularly, hence the warnings.
What are the chances? None of us know, so speculating on it seems both ghoulish and pointless.
For frame of reference according to the CDC 31 total deaths of children age 1-14 since the pandemic started.

That’s not a typo - 31.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Ag...

130 died from flu.

675 died children in car accidents.

What do you mean other types of data?
It's less directed self-study as tutoring and mentorship.

My experience is a bit different; the trick is to:

1) first expose kids to the general concepts

2) build them out in as broad a range of contexts as possible, slowly and gradually. Write some code. Do some engineering problems. Etc.

3) Go back and formalize it once the intuition is there

The earlier you start, the better. But you want a different calculus book for a college student, as for a high school student, as for a middle school student, as for an elementary school student. The earlier you go, the more you want pictures and intuition (and the more time you then have to build out the formalism later).
Id rather use my ISP because they will see it anyways.... Why introduce a third party for no good reason?
I have trouble seeing how this is Something That Needs Fixing(tm).

It's a shareholder problem because it's shareholder capital being spent on these bonuses. Both pre- and post-bankruptcy, shareholders are in the primary position to fix it.
Why would you trust a VPN when any TLA/CIA/NSA/FBI can set up 1/10/100 options relatively cheaply. Unless you go through TOR or use a false MAC address you have no guarantees, even then fingerprinting and fake TOR exits points are a serious risk if you are trying to be truly anonymous.
The same thing applies to Capitalism. It always leads to tyranny on one hand and serfdom on the other.

In truth there is nothing wrong, per se, with Socialism, Capitalism or Communism. Merely the way in which they are implemented.

There is no country in the world that does not have a mixed economy, with facets of all three Socialism, Communism and Capitalism interspersed. Sure, there will be weasel-words to prevent the truth coming through, like 'Common Good' instead of 'Socialism'. But one country's 'Common Good' is the next country's 'Socialism'.

(Roads and Highways, Single-Payer Health Care, Unemployment Assistance, Food Stamps, Business Bail-Outs, etc, etc.)
Few people would, that's not the point. It seems you are not understanding this part: "shift from large-scale to small-scale extraction". The claim is that cocaine would partly shift to "at home" and local production, which GP correctly points out is currently very common with DMT. The comparison is made because DMT currently has a similar legal situation to what GP suggests for cocaine: legal plant material, but the purified/extracted substance is illegal.
As trustworthy as the US equivalent. (I've met and worked with members of the CAS in ICT and they are people of high integrity and competent leaders in their field of science)
The expense I think is just a side effect of working in this space. Mayne when things open up prices will go down. As for the softwares usability, I don't know how much it's changed in the 10 years since you saw it last, but I really like it. Everything is clickable, the work flow for flashing, symbol loading, fiddling with registers + peripherals, is better than really any other system I've used in the space.
I think what you are missing here - drug cartels are essentially mini factions that govern areas in the society. The cartels are the government and the government is public face for the cartels essentially. How this evolved over time has been interesting, but make no mistake about it. They both protect each other interests domestically. It's not that they can't its that they wont. They attack themselves when they're disputes. Its very fascinating and no secret down there.
It boggles my mind how people use drugs and not realise that for the drugs they bought, a poor mexican person will have their face cut off while still alive.

Buy drugs, fund the cartels. Have mexican people killed.

It makes me wonder why life is so bad for so many that they need to use 'the hard stuff'.
Get mad as hell, yes. But also revel in your victories. This is a long and arduous journey. People don't have the energy to be mad through all of it. They give up when we don't show how we're making progress. NO ONE IS SAYING STOP WE'VE WON. No one. But recognize that moral is low and it needs to improve. So let's celebrate the small victory and with our new and improved moral continue pushing forward.
> At least on a 8x V100 machine, for Christ's sake. Because that's all I got.

Well that's still one powerful supercomputer and allows you to pretrain BERT from scratch in just 33 hours [1].

I mean that's $100,000 in hardware you have at your disposal right there, which is still orders of magnitude beyond 8k-level workstation hardware...

It speaks to the sad affair that is SOTA in ML/AI - only well funded private institutions (like OpenAI) or multinational tech giants can really afford to achieve it .

It's monopolising a technology and papers like this help democratise it again.

>Who would substitute cocaine with coca tea?

There are really two things to respond to here: first, all powder cocaine starts as the leaf, so the powder cocaine market would move downstream to extraction from widely-available coca leaf. This is the biggest reason we haven't tried this already. However, I hope that the economics will not favor transporting large amounts of still-illegal cocaine across long distances, so that instead it will mostly be produced near the point of consumption, with lower profit margins and less violence.

Second, addicts are more likely than you think to recognize their own usage as a problem, yet rely on the drug to do things that most people expect to be able to do. Someone who uses cocaine so they can focus on work or participate in social activities would probably be willing to substitute at least some of their usage with tea, if it were cheaper than powder and legal. Drug abuse isn't usually a problem of simple uncontained hedonism. It's not a perfect analogy, but the availability of beer probably likewise moderates the demand for spirits.
Practically all traffic over a VPN is encrypted because most traffic going over them is encrypted, so I'm not sure how much traffic a VPN provider is really going to be able to sell. They aren't really going to be see very much of what you do if you take even some basic precautions like using HTTPS websites, or using SSL newsgroups, etc. Maybe bittorrent isn't encrypted? I can't imagine that it wouldn't be encrypted but I am not as familiar with how that works.
TL;DR - we'd like someone to add warnings to ifconfig etc. if no netmask is supplied. I could do it but don't have the time.
edit: I removed my comment that was here. It was confusing in a way that I didn't intend. It was going to merely generate toxic responses. That was not my intention at all. I'm sorry.
Just read this after my comment. You are ABSOLUTELY correct. What you see is some warring within that is political anything else is smoke and mirrors.
The Artist and the Technologist: Collective Art in a Networked World
The bats that carried RaTG13 are 1000 miles away from Wuhan. It's unclear how it would have migrated to Wuhan given that horseshoe bats do not live near Wuhan.

On the other hand, the one thing we know for certain is that RaTG13 was present in Wuhan and was brought there by researchers at the WIV.
The same applies to every other industry where unions predominate.
Or spend a few thousand hours learning and mastering the craft.

Surely the point is that you shouldn't need to spend thousands of hours "mastering" something like CSS? It's not that complicated and it's not that important. If you told a developer working on desktop or mobile applications that they'd need to spend years "mastering" the design tools in whatever GUI framework they were using before they'd be able to independently build a good user interface, you'd be ridiculed.

Anyone with the aptitude and interest to become a web developer, which isn't a particularly high bar as technologies go, should be able to get the hang of all the important parts of modern CSS in at most a week even starting from scratch. The fact that we don't reliably train new developers up that efficiently is a damning indictment of the current state of the industry.
uh - I'm unsure about that. Can you please cite a reference why you believe the US is a narco state?
But we're shareholders grant the effective tools for controlling?

I think there is none such tools for shareholders to curb such misconduct
Yes, things have always been this way and if you really want to see just how long, look at speeches and other “news” from Ancient Greece.

The significant difference today is how quickly and widely falsehoods can be distributed and redistributed, and how many different sources this can happen to. Pre Internet, if I started telling my friends about this thing called QAnon, how far and how quickly could it really spread? Not far and not quickly. Today however it can spread across the world in a day and be picked up by every major news outlet. It’s disturbing, and we should all be very concerned.
I used to have a JS-free site, and even though it had background animations, they could all be done with clever CSS. Unfortunately I wanted these animations to persist as the user clicked around the site, so that they could grow in complexity or interesting-ness over time, instead of resetting. This is not possible without a JS framework to turn the site into an SPA, so I switched the other way, from eleventy to gastby.
> X11 maintainers jumped ship to Wayland.

Some maintainers, last time i checked others like Keith Packard are working exclusively on Xorg.

> Once again, just about everyone who knows thing one about graphics on Linux is on board with the Wayland transition.

I know "thing one" about graphics on Linux and i'm certainly not on board with Wayland transition.

> Just like everyone who knows thing one about virology or epidemiology is on board with social distancing and wearing a mask.

That is not a good comparison.
I should have done it then but I just never imagined we would be where we are just 3.5 years later. Would have given me time to train and educate myself.

The pandemic opened my eyes to a lot of things. Things not even related, at least on the surface, to the pandemic itself. I’m kicking myself for not seeing it till now.

I’ll check out that series, thank you.
This isn't just about science. Conspiracy theorists and unethical people with agendas use documents like this to support their beliefs, and it becomes impossible to refute them. In the age of social media, misinformation and conspiracy theories can cause real damage.
Did NYT follow through with revealing the real name of the Slate Star Codex author?

That's one data point in opposition (although not exactly revealing a 'source', the difference is splitting hairs).
Effective interest rate is, to my understanding, not related to inflation. It's just a way to make loans with various compounding periods easily comparable (I'm mostly citing this from Wikipedia, I'm far from expert here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_interest_rate )

I just mentioned it for the sake of providing more information to whomever was reading my comment.
Suburbs are hot now but my prediction is that it's not going to have an effect on house prices in the suburbs long term. No doubt that covid and remote work make the suburbs more attractive for many. But remote work also means people can spread out more and fewer people moving in to areas with opportunities from other cities/states, which means demand in many hot places will slow down.

My point is, if you look at any major and expensive area, most of the expensive suburb residents are people who moved to the area because of work. Without those people moving in, prices wouldn't have been expensive to beging with.
It isn't shareholder capital; it's almost always creditor capital when a public company is going bankrupt. It's a broken process when creditors don't get a vote in whether a company can apply for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (as opposed to Chapter 7 where the company assets are just liquidated). It incentivizes shareholders to vote for Chapter 11 because they know during a Chapter 7 their shares will be worthless anyway, because there won't be much (if anything) left after paying off debt.
That’s not even incompetence. Dit is Berlin!
A: all good comments about NewPipe are being downvoted

Tell me again how they missed the obvious sarcasm.
Swiss, US and UK Banks (HSBC) are not far behind though. But agreed, Deutsche aims to be participant in any possible scandal.
Does PeerTube pay people? Or is the assumption that creators should get all their revenue from external sources?
I think this is happening in order to identify specific people who can be demonstrated to have some sort of link to other, unidentified instigators that the feds are after (e.g. linked via drone or bodycam or other footage showing interaction). So they pull somebody off the street in this manner, conclusively identify the person, and then pull and add that person's metadata to the Palantir graphs, in order to identify the people they can't find, or people they suspect are running the instigator show. That this is happening in Portland in particular does not surprise me at all, given the history of the city and the level of organization at protests and riots there in the past (something I have personal experience with and know a bit about). I strongly suspect that local law enforcement is fully supporting these operations, even if they are not doing so outwardly, or even denying it.
So what should i call what bitwize does in a comment below where he essentially writes that not being into Wayland is like not being into social distancing and wearing a mask?
why should viral "behavior" be "intuitive" in any sense at all? (unless of course youre a bioligist of the requisite experience). here is one idea that might reframe your intuitons: viruses are so small there are billions of them on you right now. intuitions about the behavior of such tiny things, even outside your body, are tough. does a piece of paper block them or are they small enough to pass through the pores of the paper? any idea? and what happens to them inside your body? your intuition ought to break down by now unless you have good mental models of the biological process.

Uber and Lime didn't create the electric scooter, they created the sharing/distribution model. Segway created the vehicle but failed at the distributing.
Which is notably not like cocaine.
It can be both bad and encouraged by incentives. Doesn't make it not-bad though.
I wasn't aware of that at the time. Having used it a bit now, some of the choices do baffle me. It has such wonderfully granular control over bitrate and background behavior, but no option to play the videos you tap on without having to hit a separate "play" button after the video is open? Very odd.
They've tried guns for 4 decades and look where it's got them. I'm not saying hugs are the answer. You still have to punish the existing bad guys. But guns definitively are not the long-term answer. It's time for a different approach - one which prevents new bad guys.
Why do you think Canadians don't have cartel problems like this?
It is normal for ICUs to be at or near capacity. This is also misleading journalism. Most ICUs are in “surge” cities right now are 20-30% Covid.

Reporting that they are at capacity intimates that they are packed full of Covid patients and overflowing.
What about cardiac coherence training?
You aren't wrong - we've vacillated between personal and cloud(mainframe, shared, or centralized) for many years now and it seems that we'll probably continue on this hybrid approach for a while.

Personally I prefer to own my own compute, my own storage and my own hardware. Cloud isn't any cheaper in the aggregate long-term, but it does spread risk and costs across a longer term.

Considering everything I'd rather own the risk and up-front costs just for my own privacy and self-determination.
No, that's my fault, not yours. It originally did say it compiled, but that turned out to be some kind of error with repl.it, which appeared to be down as part of this outage (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23875692). When I tried again, it didn't compile, and I thought I could sneak edit since you hadn't responded. Sorry!
The article says you don't notice the blackout and flashing, but I always did. Can other people see it?
I agree it should be but that doesn’t seem like a huge deal

I respectfully disagree. Encouraging people to upload data that will probably be very personal in some cases, such as photos, videos or messages they store on their phone, without proper safeguards is at best negligent and/or abusive depending on your point of view. The fact that the other major mobile platform is even worse doesn't make the former situation any better.

Epidemiologist Ellie Murray said it better than I could, so I’ll just quote her: “Yes, the chance of a virus like SARS-CoV-2 suddenly arising is fairly low. That’s why we have so few pandemics!!

But conditional on being in a pandemic the chance that the virus that arises to cause it is like SARS-CoV-2 is super high!!

There’s no conspiracy, just statistics”[0]

That said, the fact that the outbreak started so close to the Wuhan Institute of Virology is certainly suggestive that it escaped from the lab, though that doesn’t mean it was necessarily “man made.”

That's not research. That's opinion pieces from research organizations. There's a question of values, which is a personal question. I don't want the moral weight of risking that my child catch COVID19 and cause someone else to die.

If I were a teacher, I wouldn't want to be in a position where a mistake I make can make people die.

I can run the numbers as well as the next guy, and I know the risks. I don't want my schools to reopen. If you're from a different culture, you can run the same numbers, get the same risk profile, and say "Heck, if n people die to keep m more kids in school, that's worth it," for the exact same values of n and m.

On questions of values and culture, reasonable people can disagree. Every fiber of my being can scream to prioritize life, and every fiber of your being can scream to prioritize schooling. It's entirely a question of values and culture.

As a footnote, my concern is less about death and more about long-term disability. There, we can more-or-less speculate about the risks.
Coca leaves are not a substitute for cocaine. Most coke addicts will switch to amphetamines and booze if they're desperate, not some tea.
