Jeeze, they even went after a former police officer? Not saying former cops should get a pass, but you’d think they’d try and make an example out of someone involved in a criminal operation.

The ATF/DOJ loves to make examples out of people even when the case is pretty weak.
Correct, I just checked Netflix, and it is still the US Netflix, even when I hopped from a Paris AWS server.
But all french TV website are working like if I was in France.
And what's interesting is that the roots of short and mid height vegetation join together, creating a dense mat of roots and fibers, that contain a surprising amount of mostuire. When you combine that with spongy soils, buried wood, and shade they provide localized cycles of fluids and humidity. Overall it makes for much more resilient and productive food systems. Though you have to pay more attention to what you are doing.

If you plant one by one, neatly spaced apart, you won't have this type of nutrient cycling and moisture uptake.
I don't think comparing those scale of companies with a microstartup is apt.
Back of the napkin estimate is this is 1/6 of the way back to us splitting with chimps.
And even with Lambda you have to decide before. At least powertuning helps here a bit.
Because rational actors won't submit bids at all in a system designed like that. If they do, they'll almost certainly enter a situation in which they end up owning stock that last traded at a price less than they paid.
That's fine and all but the touchpad support on Linux is greatly lacking, though I know there's a project in the works to improve that. I can just as easily run a full screen Debian workstation inside virtualbox on macos with very little performance impact.

And I'm absolutely not going back to a 16:9 aspect ratio 1080p screen, ever.
There quite a bit of related thinking in the excellent book : Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
True. They certainly do prosecute some straw purchases.

But I guess my point would be - if they actually followed up on all straw purchase attempts (even just a call from the ATF saying “yeah, that’s illegal, don’t do that”) you could at least say the law is being enforced.

Right now the most likely outcome is the dealer just refusing the sale. You’re free to tighten up your game and try another dealer.
I believe post-secondary education offered both both in-person and with online options is commonly referred to as "college"

If you aren't seeking the higher expense full-blown 4 year experience, community colleges often are a decent route to explore.
I would like to know of a time where all of AWS was down, every region, every data-center, everything down

At most one region was impacted, and it is easy to be multi-regional in AWS, in fact that is kinda of the point

Further this comment is in service of the moronic axiom of "No one ever got fired for buying <<insert large company>>" my response to that has always been and will always be "sure they have and they should"

It is simply not true that buying AWS, IBM, Cisco, or any other large vendor is complete insulator from all responsibility to maintain reliable systems nor should it be

Any administrator or developer that is making buying choices based on that is not an person I would like to ever work or do business with
Black beans are one of the highest protein beans from what I read and a complete protein. Even so it’s 20g carbs to 7g protein. So for 190g protein that’s nearly 540g carbs a day which is over double what I need for my macros.

I also prefer real whole food over shakes as it keeps me from getting hungry as doesn’t digest as fast. Right now I eat 6 times a day and only my late afternoon snack is a shake with a rice cake, 20g almond butter and banana.

The assumption is: yes, the content creators who host their videos via P2P solutions like PeerTube would have to rely on external sources such as Patreon, or in-video sponsorships, or as another user pointed, use the built-in donations feature.

It's not very different graduating from a non-famous university though.

If anybody is interested, last year I wrote a detailed report [1] on Coursera's monetization journey. I describe the steps and experiments the company did to go from zero to $100+ million in revenues (and potentially over $200 million this year).

In my opinion, of all the online education providers Coursera grew the most during the pandemic. They also reacted well by offering free certificates and giving free access to their catalog to college students [2].

My company Class Central [3], a Tripadvisor for online education grew a lot during the pandemic. In the second half of March, we received 5 million visitors, almost a 20x increase. Though no longer the peak, we are still at 2.5X of what we were before.

they should be multi-regional. If they are only in US-EAST and US-EAST is down well yes I blame them for that.

show me a time where all of AWS was down in every region all at the same time
They do. If they don’t close a deal they are stuck with all the transaction costs. This leads to adverse selection of deals as a SPAC will always choose to do any deal over dissolving without a deal.
It takes nurturing if you want to speed up the process, but this is optional.

If you have long-standing piles of organic matter in a sunny location, make a garden bed there and you'll be blown away by how fertile the soil is.
I can’t vouch for Samsung but Vizio have said in the past that they make very little profit off their TVs and this is offset by data that is collected from usage.

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190114/08084341384/vizio...

Now I’d imagine that Samsung are making a hefty profit on the 75” 4K all singing sets (and still spying on you) but the cheaper ones seem to be priced so there isn’t much profit.
I've just been using this function in my bashrc:

kubea(){
if [ "$#" = 1 ]; then
KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/configs/"$1"
else
ls -1 ~/.kube/configs/

}

That way I can "activate" a specific config the same way I activate my Python virtualenv, for a specific terminal. I also add the basename of the config to my prompt.

Academics, under pressure to produce new studies, rushing to conclusions and making lofty claims on limited evidence? No way! Not these people! /s
Firmware updates are good. They can patch security issues and they can improve different aspects of the device. The security being the best plus obviously.

The point is that there are no "security issues" in a dumb media player like the DVD player I have. Suppose an "attacker" (and that is stretching the definition a lot...) can create a disc that can overflow a buffer somewhere and crash the player or cause it to do something "interesting", and I have been somehow tricked into attempting to play this disc --- so what? It's not connected to the Internet, the firmware is read-only, there's literally nothing of value to attack. I'll just eject the disc (manually if necessary) and not play it again.

Instead this stupid "update culture" has created horribly buggy software that's barely functional "because we can always change it", and now we somehow need an Internet-connected media player,along with all the downsides --- including security --- that brings, just so they can (try to) silently attempt to fix some bugs that should never have gotten out in the first place? My experience tells me that they will fix one thing and break something else in the process, so there's overall no real improvement.
2nd for FOAM. Its really awesome. this VSCode as a platform is taking off. There are other markdown renderers like dotgraph that can easily be embedded in your visuals using other extensions. And then all the power of VScode editing on top. It's a shame for obsidian tho...

I also like Typora as a markdown editor. Nice in-page editing. Obsidian is good for a project overview, with the map (graph) view but it's not that great as a single-page editor tool.

A good bit about food production has never been accounted for in "scientific" tests.

Science is about rigorous observation. Is reductionism the only technique that is valid for understanding ALL phenomenon? Seems like this consideration has not been applied all too rigorously.

As for reductionism: when dealing in this sphere it has thus far proven itself to be, well, limited, at least in providing a comprehensive understanding of food systems.

The understanding that is applied to food science, that has any merit, comes from botany, ecology, climatology. IMHO the best food science comes from the likes of Sepp Holzer and bill mollison, who at least the latter is an actual scientist.

The military food scientists thus far have not ss done well at applying most scientific advancements to the domain.

Since all war scientists started applying their trade to food production in the fifties, it's been one fiasco after the next. Empirically speaking, chemical, genetic, and mechanical intervention (so called enhancements) is meme science. If you study up on it, you'll see that there is plenty of empirical evidence that the genetically selected rice and wheat grains pushed on Eastern Asia were worse on almost all counts than their traditional seed. After more than a decade and a half of failure, they showed some marginal benefit, but only if the right amount of fertilizer was applied during a period of extraordinarily ideal environmental circumstancses-- and this is what it boils down to: chemical companies wanting to sell fertilizer and pesticides. Asian farmers kept planting these grains because they received subsidies backed by the local and US governments to buy fertilizer, machines, and pesticides, and received favorable purchasing conditions for providing
the right variety of grain. After getting locked in, or facing bankruptcy, many times they dont have a choice but to continue. The results are there, refer to Food Production in the 21st Century. It was written in the mid nineties by an academic worthy of your time if you have any interest in this topic.

If there is political motivation muddying up your science at the institutional level, it's not going to be rigorous.
These kinds of lower, often-slanted-up-and-back pockets are somewhat common in exercise wear. And they're great for the most part. Though your legs move a lot, they don't often move in a just-vertical up and down path, so as long as you have horizontal stability (very easy here as your leg curves) nothing really jostles.

They do have a nasty habit of losing their contents while driving (knees often higher than waist), or sitting cross-legged. Buttons / zippers / etc combat this of course (magnetic closures are my favorite), but they are also a bit more visible and sometimes uncomfortable :)
If I can make a suggestion for a pro feature, it would be good to be able to test/measure pages behind some kind of authentication, even basic auth would be useful
Investment Bankers are performing a service for companies that IPO. For this service they get paid. One of the ways that they get paid is buy allocating IPO shares to favored clients. If you change the system so that they cannot get paid this way, then they will end up getting paid another way: higher fees.

Is that worth the tradeoff? Maybe. But it's very unlikely that there is a free lunch to be had here.
At commercial scale, I think what is done on more modern farms is cover cropping after a cash crop is harvested, with a winter that kills the cover crop before seeds develop. Before is dies and becomes a thin compost residue layer, the cover crop is photosynthesising and converting carbon dioxide into carbon and other nutrients which exude through the roots into the soils, keeping the microbiology alive for the spring crop. That live soil is going to be as good as compost, and it doesn't need to be disturbed like compost normally is.

Before i built this extension i needed to click play on every Soundcloud track/mixtape that looked interesting and then manually click on the waveform to quickly skip trough to see if it was something worth listening too.

Now i can just hover any play button and it will automatically play sampels from the track/mixtape. See it in action here: https://youtu.be/DwsNiXsCZvo

Extra: Thought it was kinda hard to differentiate normal tracks from mixtapes on Soundcloud, so this extension helped me with just that. https://github.com/Hemmingsson/Mixtape-Highlighter

What security updates would you foresee being necessary for a traditional BluRay player? Perhaps I'm not being creative enough, but I can't think of what a hacker would accomplish.

Other than allowing the player to read pirated BluRays, I guess, but that's not the user's problem.

> I further predict that this will spark a creative gold rush among talented amateurs to train similar models and adapt them to a variety of purposes, including: mock news, “researched journalism”, advertising, politics, and propaganda.

The first mention of 'Elon Musk' (who left the board) and this sentence alone gave me the tip-off that GPT-3 had generated that (and the whole blog) and it's following prediction makes no sense.

Sure, it may be used for nefarious purposes, but no-one can train GPT-3 in any acceptable time except for those with access to large GPU/ASIC compute power (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA, etc.) Without the model, it is not possible to adapt it to any other purpose, unless OpenAI does it for them. Without a detection mechanism, it is very dangerous.

Nice try and a great GPT-3 hype experiment, (mostly by friends of OpenAI). I look forward to the day that GPT-3 gets proper scrutiny from the actual wider tech industry before we can safely use it with detection methods.
I would love to see this paper you mention. My wife loves all things green. Our house is filling up with house plants, which I am OK with as long I am not in charge of them. And the more she plant outside, the less I have to mow.

But anyways, she does a lot of cutting and if there is something else that can work, I would love to share it with her.

Not a huge fan of ads, but I would accept non-obtrusive ads in lieu of paying the certification fee if they wanted a traditional publisher revenue stream.
Yes, exactly!

And on the other end of spectrum, there are even systems where it makes sense to go further than killing a single process, and kill the whole container or even VM where a buggy condition was encountered.
This was just before (1977) computers were used to design chips (Mead & Conway 1980). So you see some irregular hand drawn parts here. I did a fair amount of hand tape circuit design myself in the 1970s. Pre-computer designs were prone to current bottlenecks and dead end wire. A computer could greatly error.

By the mid 1980s computer designed CPUs were a work of art with their regular symmetric lattices. And shimmered with rainbow colors as circuit lines shrunk to wavelengths of visible light.

I've been through this multiple times in the last couple of years, it's worked well for me to move domain authority around in this manner. Maintaining a 301 redirect map on the original subdomain should work fine (probably better than meta headers on reinstated pages, I haven't heard of Google paying much attention to that) and you should be able to claw back your rankings. Running something like jekyll-redirect-from within your old github pages project looks like the ticket. Good luck!
You don't have to go as far as Korean - that BS fails H A R D even with other Germanic languages.

It's like whoever did the translations just took the English version and chose the first entry in the dictionary without even a second thought.

The translations are definitely machine translations and not done by native speakers. This results in hilarious constructs that are hard to decipher even when knowing the context.

As soon as I saw inconsistent grammar and even simple words being completely mistranslated, I dismissed the whole thing.
Unmarked vehicles filled with agents refusing to identify themselves whisking away protestors to unofficial sites to be interrogated (but released hours later without charges) is not "justice as usual". It's crazy that we're trying to justify this.

If they've truly done something wrong, issue a warrant or do a normal arrest like every other criminal. It's hard to see this as anything less than extra judicial intimidation.

I bought some kuhl pants and the damn rivets that they put on the butt pockets were not only uncomfortable to sit on but have left unsightly gouges on all my dining chairs. I stopped using those pants once I realized where the gouges came from. All that in the the make of making a pant that looks rugged (I don't think the rivets really improved the pants structurally)

According to Wikipedia [1] the science is not as settled as I thought but my understanding is that from the nerves needed for breath control to various vocal apparatus, erectus’ speech would have been primitive at best. Speech, however, is not the only way to express language.

An innovation in spoken language is one of the theories used to explain the Great Leap in modern sapiens.

Professional magicians are perfectly happy using gimmicks and props if it makes their magic more magical, and helps their shows go off without a hitch (indeed, that huge machine on the stage probably isn't a real body-destroying saw, and the roulette gun probably isn't actually able to shoot real live rounds!). Elitist beginners simultaneously snub their noses and brag about how they only use the hardest possible methods, because they're just that good, and they love that there are so many others that'll chime in along with them.

But really it's because they don't really have an audience to worry about whether their routines are stable and will work reliably every time. They're only concerned with telling you and everyone in earshot/eyeshot how great they think themselves to be. It's an opinion of person rather than the quality of work they do. He's the equivalent of a heckler - nothing to add, no reason to entertain their opinions.

Comments like his, which are meant to deter people from sharing anything, are what dirties the water. Not the choice of other peoples' tools.

Anyway, it's the wuh wuh wuh. You'll never see the end of useless naysayers. Like professional magicians, you just shrug them off in the most hospitable / tactful way you can, and keep doing what you're doing, knowing that you do actually have an appreciative audience.

Besides, buddy has "marketing" in his name, but he's clearly lacking in people skills to pull that off. Don't take advice from people who prove themselves to be lesser than you.
