This is a unique way to think about it. My issue with the Unix way of doings things, though, is the user unfriendliness/large amount of weirdly-named commands/syntax and one letter flags that make reading other people’s code hard. It doesn’t help that shell script syntax is also finicky/strange compared to other programming languages. With physical things like synthesizers, you can reason about things spatially/physically, understanding each component in a way that is hard to do with unix programs with dozens of flags and slight incompatibilities between platforms.

Still, Unix is good. I just wish there was a system that provided this kind of modular toolkit for software in an easy to pick up format without worrying about backwards compatibility with generations of Unix systems and the quirks of those past systems, hard to describe environments, and scattered config files/complex build processes. I think some form of a standard structured data format and some kind of type-checking at an OS level would be neat, too.
I'm sorry, but "we're merely acting as bad as the Chinese government here" does not seem like a very convincing argument.
The subsidiary is for legal purposes only, all of the tech is built and operated from China and is subject to Chinese laws.

In fact, even after divestiture this will be the case for some time. The Chinese entity holds the IP to the algorithms and other underlying technology that make Tik Tok as viral as it is.
I think it wouldn't be that hard to cut open a hand either...
I’m unsure what you’re responding to. As I understood it, the comment took issue with saying that you can make guarantees about safe Rust but not unsafe Rust because unsafe Rust is not verified in that way and opens the door to violating guarantees in your “safe” code if your bugs leak out.
The nuance is in the first paragraph:

"Facebook (FB.O) said on Saturday it has put a global block on certain accounts controlled by supporters of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro implicated in a fake news inquiry [related to the 2018 elections], a day after it was fined for not complying with a [Brazilian] Supreme Court judge’s order to do so."

May I suggest a follow-up article with the title 'Journalism is politically less diverse than its audience' in which a rallying cry is heard to shake up the market? To do anything else would be rather hypocritical given the great drive for diversity in everything and anything.
> In contrast, very few people go to Voat who aren't already true believers.

That's exactly the problem. It creates a space where there is nothing but fascist propaganda so that anyone who ends up there gets trapped in an extremist bubble where nobody who could bring the back to reality ever goes to rescue them.

Meanwhile if you want to give them a recruitment tool, start censoring anything even slightly right of center so that moderates start looking for a platform that doesn't.

Which plays right into their stupid conspiracy theory narrative because now they have real instances of censorship they can point to in claiming the "truth" they're telling you is being suppressed.

> If there are people who believe in a Jewish conspiracy to destroy the white race through miscegenation, and they advocate for violent resistance in response, then "learning to accept" that is not in any way a solution.

Violence isn't speech. Violence is illegal.

If somebody wants to argue that you shouldn't marry outside of your "race" because of some ridiculous Jewish conspiracy, make the argument why they're wrong. If they commit an act of violence, put them in jail.

> the overwhelming majority of political content consists of arguments presented without rebuttal

It's a discussion forum. The rebuttal is you posting a rebuttal. There are more of you than there are of the fascists, right? Because otherwise we've already got a bit of a problem, democracy-wise.

> Have you ever watched a debate between a fascist and a non-fascist? Even in response to comprehensive dismantling of their ideas, fascists remain completely insensible to facts (they can always fall back on "fake Jewish science") or reason. Some small fraction of viewers may be convinced by the debates, but the mere fact of something having been cogently debunked does very little overall.

You're not expected to convince the zealot. You're expected to convince the audience why the zealot is a zealot. Appeals to "Jewish science" and the like are how they lose the audience, because the only people who are going to buy that are the other zealots.

Having the debate does very much overall, because it's how we got to the point where most people aren't fascists. The fascists are the ones whose ideas aren't strong enough to stand without censoring the opposition. When your position can stand up to scrutiny you don't need to censor the opposition.

The paper describes “event-related potential (ERP)” [1] measured via EEG.

“The N170 is a component of the event-related potential (ERP) that reflects the neural processing of faces, familiar objects or words.” [2]

They also measured the inverse of recognition “...improbable events will elicit a P3b, and the less probable the event, the larger the P3b.” [3]

FTR, note that this is modeling, not experimental evidence.

I'd love to see actual, hard experimental evidence on aerosol transmission (the latest Nature paper on it doesn't qualify: only part of the samples were actually used to test viral replication in cells, and only part of them actually had detectable virus).
Maybe I'm getting more conservative and irritable in my old age, but I've really gotten saturated and tired of diversity, diversity, diversity -- "we should reflect who our customers are", etc. As if that's the durable standard and goal of our society. I just don't buy it.

Here's what I'm for.

I'm for removing barriers to anyone being able to be interested, educated, and encouraged to do the things they want to do. And we should work to make it easier for people to be identified as having skills and talent in whatever field they choose.

Then let the chips fall where they may. This push for equality of outcome + diversity is political bullshit of the moment. Every field and industry and job will reflect the demographics of who is interested in doing that job, the pipeline of people who seek to become educated and qualified for it, and the proportions of who succeeds at showing their skills. You will not escape that truth -- and trying to do so will cause more frustration and political backlash than working within that truth.

Fashionable as it may be to latch on to a message right now, I don't think the majority of people buy the idea that diversity in itself means that any selective field ought to equal the proportions of the groups you choose to divide general society into. People can simply see that it's not true as an outcome. And that movement will lose.
Swvl bus-sharing user data hit by security breach
Assuming it's still the case, Red Hat used to release all their RHEL-kernel specific changes as individual patches, but apparently it made this too easy for Oracle to copy and cherry-pick in the ones they wanted, so the Red Hat released source code became a big giant squished patch.

They felt it still complied with GPLv2, and TBH, I don't think that it doesn't. Not necessarily in the spirit of the license, but a necessary solution against Oracle in their minds.

GPLv3 defines it differently, but I doubt you could convince anyone of this in court. I think getting the source in any form would be a good enough start for most of the companies flaunting the GPL.
> "you can't beat the market"

You can, but not consistently according to the Efficient Market Hypothesis. If you are referring to e.g. factor investing, that's not "beating the market" in the traditional fund manager way, just holding it differently and taking more systemic risk for a higher potential upside (if the factor is indeed based on risk and not irrationality of market participants).

> And best of all, with zero commissions, super tight bid-ask spreads, and easy to access APIs, "quant-lite" investing is more accessible than every before.

I'm conservative here and would wait 10 years before jumping on some fancy new technique to make more money. Why? Because fin history is littered with fancy new ways of making money that primarily made the manager money. Any real advantages are going to be quickly taken up by competing money makers anyway.

> In conclusion, every portfolio is an active portfolio, from deciding a equity/bond ratio, to investing in real estate, to deciding to buy some TSLA. It's all the same, so stay away from any dogmatic approaches to investing

This is dangerously wrong advice. "Passive investing" in the Bogleheads sense and choosing e.g. a equity/bond ratio is based on science and 120+ years of available data (Efficient Market Hypothesis, Modern Portfolio Theory), buying TSLA is not. Real estate is a very mixed bag (for US research, see e.g. Beracha et al. 2012 "Lessons from over 30 years of buy versus rent decisions" in Real Estate Economics Vol 40 No 2, and https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/house-of-cards-morn...).

Conclusion: the "dogmatic" approach is absolutely the right thing for 99% of retail investors to follow.
Reconfigurable Eco-system for Next-generation End-to-end Wireless
Argos was first developed at Rice in 2011 as a 64-antenna base station, becoming the first Massive MIMO base station ever built. Since then, Argos has evolved with two newer versions. The most recent version of Argos (ArgosV3) has been already deployed around Rice campus as part of the ArgosNet project. Argosv3, now known as Faros, is developed by Skylark Wireless and now commercially available.

The RENEW platform aim is to serve three goals: 1) Integrate and deploy on the POWDER platform, at the University of Utah campus and areas around the campus. 2) Empower custom testbeds, using Iris and Faros, to enable novel applications. 3) Work closely with other open-source efforts, like OpenAirInterface, to empower next-generation of wireless equipment.

The RENEW team will be part of the 1st international workshop on open software defined wireless networks (colocated with MobiSys 2020)>>See more

Decentralized microcommunities is how people interacted for the vast majority of existing.

Only recent, after settling down, feudalism, growing cities, and the last blip —globalization—, moved us towards centralization.

If anything, humans are great at managing small communities, and very bad at operating in a large, centralized, globalized world. Radicalism is often a product of that globalization, and would be unable to exist in a hunter-gatherer tribal system of small moving groups.
Well, not exactly. Costumes can just be suffocatingly hot. Bulky, poorly ventilated, possibly used in an environment that isn't air conditioned. If the SFX crew for your movie is on their game, you have a cooling system built in and it's not that miserable. But I've heard stories of some people properly suffering in particular roles because it was just so goddamned hot.

If you go to a convention, like Adam is fond of doing, you're gonna be suited up for hours, without support crew. So it's gonna be tricky, and he makes money doing videos about tricky things...

That said, he did start with a surplus EVA (or was it fighter pilot?) base layer with the cooling tubes built in.
Standards are convenient, but a lot of issues would be resolved if products were publicly documented. To my knowledge PostScript was never standardized and PDF has been standardized for about half of its history, yet they were both fairly well documented by the vendor. Contrast that to other popular document formats, or this bike, which had to be reverse engineered. Yes, documenting implementations adds overhead that inhibits the rate of progress. On the other hand, not documenting implementations are usually inhibits progress as well since it is all about short term gains.

One reason could be that journalism typically requires a college education and then doesn't pay that well. Many media internships are also unpaid. That means you need some source of "runway" in the form of previous savings or family wealth to get started and build your career.

Deep in the comments, someone posted this:

> If you slow down the audio/video to about 25% speed, you'll notice that the sound for 'needle' begins a fraction earlier than 'storm'. This is because the 's'-sound (in storm) actually begins in the 'ee'-gap of 'needle'. The 't'-sound of 'storm' atches with the 'dl'-sound of 'needle'. The whooshing sound during the 'ee'-gap of the 'needle' sound is heard by our brains as an 's'-sound and - since the brain is already primed for 'storm' - we hear the rest accordingly.

> have acknowledged America’s faults, including the absence of universal healthcare. This isn’t meaningfully “a consequence of capitalism”

It seems pretty clear to me that it is. Specifically lobbying and campaign donations by the for profit health insurance industry is a direct consequence of there being a for profit, capitalistic motive within that sector. These capitalist incentives are directly lobbying against universal healthcare.

And no, I do not blame all of capitalism for this, Nintendo is not responsible for the lack of universal healthcare in the U.S., just in case this really needs to be said.

> as indeed many European countries with their public sector healthcare have capitalist economies.

They tend to have mixed economies with a strong regulatory system and a social safety net.

I know in the U.S. the success of any public service gets overlooked, its failings get attributed to socialism and capitalism's failings get overlooked, so in the end capitalism wins.

In the EU, we know you can mix the two. You don't have to pick capitalism or socialism, they can be mixed and matched as it makes sense, which indeed seems to be the best approach.

Not every aspect of capitalism is great and not every aspect of socialism is terrible. This seems to be forgotten a lot in American discourse and everything is very black and white to you, it seems.

Can I ask, since I am curious, why misinformation != lying?

To me, I have always found that the statement "truths are the best lies" is very correct.

To me, you can tell a little bit of truth, and leave a large amount of true information unsaid. However, that does not mean that the whole encompassing "truth" - whatever you end up expressing in the listener's mind as a whole - is true. This is not about whether they believe, but how they perceive. Whether the listener believes is another story.

The kindle could have been the best, no clue what happened but development just seemed to completely stall. It's sad because the vast majority of consumers don't even realize there are incredible advances being made to E-ink displays, they never see it.

Last summer I was sitting in a library and had noticed the person across from me was using an E-ink device I had never seen before. I showed the person my kindle and asked if they like their device more or less than mine. I vividly recall the woman's eyes light up with excitement as she handed me the device and pen she was holding. Perfect written text on an e-ink device the size of a paper notebook with what felt like an almost identical weight to my kindle. Stunning! She told me how she had been using it exclusively for note taking and the battery life was fairly comparable.

I wish I could recall the name of the device but I think it was something by Sony. I couldn't help but be stunned though, Amazon is completely missing the opportunity with these devices and I feel bad for the people who will continue to purchase their obsolete products.

I agree. I remember hearing Clifford Stoll interviewed on the radio around 1995 and reading reviews of his book "Silicon Snake Oil," which was published the same year, and thinking that he was obviously wrong. It was just such a game-changer for me to be able to sit in my home in Tokyo, and, through a dial-up modem, get information I needed from throughout the world—information that otherwise would have required a trip to a major library or bookstore, if it was even available there. And to be able to find people interested in chatting about topics that no one else in Japan would have cared about. The Internet was clearly the future.
