Most Jews in America are Ashkenazi and are essentially German, Polish, Ukranian for them most part.

i.e. 'Zuckerberg' 'Sandberg' 'Goldman'.

They are genetically not different from other Europeans other than for some possibly some minor specific linkage way back. That wing of the diaspora has been in Europe for at least 1000 years, originating in the area from Netherlands down to Frankfurt and spreading Eastward towards Russia.

Even many Sephardi jews, from the Med (i.e. Spain, Greece, Turkey), are more European than they are Middle Eastern at least genetically.

It can adjust itself in principle and orient itself. But maybe the motion of the boat might be to much.
There is nothing independent with Brazil’s court. They are just dismantling the executive powers so they and their own can be kept on power.

In Brazil, the Supreme Court is filled by presidential choice. Brazil had 25 consecutive years with social democratic and socialists presidents, so that every justice currently have been put there by them. Now that democracy turned to the right-wing, the losers aren’t accepting the results and the reforms being made, that takes out their privileges and positions of power.

I know barely nothing about India, but what you described certainly is not correlated to what is happening in Brazil.

Our mobile apps are lightweight in terms of resource utilisation. This is largely due to two factors:

1) We utilise low level pause and resume network calls provided by the operating system such that the VPN is only active when network data is being sent or received. Therefore, when a device is on standby, the VPN is paused preventing battery drain and resumed whenever the device polls for notifications or is awoken.

2) Most OpenVPN implementations on iOS/Android (e.g. https://github.com/ss-abramchuk/OpenVPNAdapter) utilise socket bridges, this has the effect of increasing the resource utilisation massively for a given throughput as you have to copy data to and from the network socket when sending or receiving data. Our VPN core writes and reads directly from the underlying tunnel socket which reduces resource utilisation heavily.

Both of these optimisations make our mobile applications very efficient. If you try it out and run into issues, we also have a very active docs hub where people ask questions and request features (https://github.com/ultrahorizon/UH-VPN-Docs).
"Sony is creating a new version of their Digital Paper 13.3 to replace the aging DPT-RP1 that came out in 2017. It was supposed to be released this year, but the company made the internal decision in Japan to delay it until April or May 2020. Sony Japan primarily designs the Digital Paper and they do the manufacturing in China. The software experience is undergoing a bit of a tweak, due to professional feedback from their business customers in the US."

I disagree with your being downvoted. But I also disagree with your points.

Because "role models" and "acknowledging barriers... identification, perspective, and connections" are codewords and a shield (and highly subjective and limitless ones at that) for making others adopt inappropriate solutions to a much earlier problem. Maybe not you personally, but that's where it inevitably leads.

It leads to people wanting to take the easiest path and just change the outcome by force at the last step. Rather than making the harder, longer lasting (and responsible) change to the pipeline and environment that produces people interested in whatever jobs or careers we're talking about.

I don't have a white male name. And yet I don't find your quoted stats surprising or offensive (or outrage-worthy), given the proportions of who have made up the pipeline of people skilled and interested in working at those levels of employment in the decades up to now.

It's up to [whatever demographic group you happen to feel like it's appropriate to segment people into] to train their kids, encourage them to pursue fields of interest, and the rest of society to make sure that barriers don't exist to their advancement.

It's not for you to decide on your own to adjust the percentage of some group until you're satisfied, and perhaps someday decide, because you saw enough inspirational "role model" stories, that we've achieved enough.

As an intellectual honesty check, I ask you to answer the question Justice O'Connor asked when she was deciding the last case about this. "When does it end?" All your steps and corrections to the rules and outcomes -- when does it end? Or did you already lose interest after putting in some temporary band-aid rules and assuming it fixed everything? And just for the group you were interested in? Or everyone?
Hold on, Bolsonaro is not a dictator. Federalism even recently screwed him over. He didn't act on COVID but individual states imposed their own measures and thankfully countered his opinion.
My wife is getting FLOT chemotherapy. She also does:

- cannabis

- bromelain and acetylcysteine

- the next two times longevity fasting mimicking during four days around a chemotherapy administration

Cannabis is well known for its medical traits. Bromelain is a meat-digesting enzyme, and a study suggest to combine it with acetylcysteine to reduce the adenocarcinoma. Another study suggests that acetylcysteine protects from neuropathy, a chemotherapy side effect. Fasting is said to switch the body into an energy-saving mode, protecting from chemotherapy, too; something which the tumor cannot so that it experiences the full brunt of the chemotherapy. Longevity fasting mimicking is not fasting but a diet having the same effects as fasting, but I think this is still dangerous. I hope that my wife compensates by eating more when she does not have chemotherapy.

Perhaps this is useful to others. Take care!

I've noticed the same thing, and on macOS, too.

Non-free operating systems have a really poor selection of terminal emulator software, both in terms of feature sets and in terms of performance. They're usually inflexible (Microsoft's old terminal emulator, like for PowerShell and CMD by default) or extensible but based on web technologies, and in both cases, they're slow.

iTerm2 can be made to perform passably, but only by throwing GPU acceleration at the problem, which doesn't seem to be necessary for popular and banal terminal emulator choices on Linux, like Gnome Terminal and Konsole.

The performance differences become much more visible if you're a tmux user, in many cases.
There isn't really an 'industry standard' for 2D animation. Animation productions will often have a mixture of off-the-shelf software and custom tools.

Some well-known apps in the 2D animation space:

- Moho: This has a long history and probably influenced some of the features in Synfig. Moho lets you rig 2D vector models with 'bones' that will save you having to animate frame-by-frame (although you can do that too). https://my.smithmicro.com/moho-pro.html

- Toon Boom: One of the most popular tools in the industry https://www.toonboom.com/

- TVPaint: Also with a long history and requires a dongle to run (remember those?!) https://www.tvpaint.com/

All the above apps are aimed at professionals in the industry, and have a substantial price to match.

I absolutely agree, you need to try to measure boy side of the equation, not only the outcomes.
How would you do that? What is a role model in your opinion? Can you teach children to ignore their sex and color? Can you teach children to ignore external influences like media and advertisements?

By your definition, isn't the main characteristic of a role model, that they didn't need a role model of matching genitalia and skin pigmentation and dietary preference themselves? Otherwise how could anyone be the first?

So yeah, choosing a role model without regard to those things is perfectly possible, and not long ago was considered completely normal.
There are a ton of terminal emulators out there based on HTML5, CSS, and Javascript, little Chromium apps and similar. And on some platforms they're often the only ones offering certain features or extensibility.

And they're naturally much slower than Alacritty and any normal Linux terminal emulator.
It used to be routine to openly pay women less than men merely because they were women. No vast conspiracy was required then, so why would it be now?

True. You cannot expect the judicial to be apolitical if it is appointed by the other two highly political branches of government. But we pretend it is apolitical in Brazil and in the US.
It's more than that though. It's not just the quantity of stuff you wouldn't want to see, but that FB would then be known for that type of content, and they'd lose the other content that brings in the money. Purely from a business model perspective, they want to keep that stuff off.
I don't think there's generally a cultural reason. It just doesn't happen all that often because the "someone else" coming along probably isn't familiar with the project workflow either so they don't know the right way to do it.

What does happen more often I think is that one of the maintainers or regular devs will make minor fixups as part of accepting the patch. (I do this for the project I work on for new contributions at least some of the time.) But that does take time, and usually the people working regularly on the project have a full todo list of stuff they care about or are paid to care about already. So if the patch is for an obscure and unloved area of the codebase (like, say, support for a networking protocol used only by ancient Macs) it's more likely to fall through the cracks simply because nobody working regularly on the project cares about that area. Niche use-cases which have users but no developers are fundamentally in trouble long-term, I think.
It's that kind of thinking that likely contributes to the low software quality.

The software failed and did so in a user uninformative way.

Except in things like network facing software or whatnot --where a segfault might also be an RCE--, a panic is not superior to a segfault. A panic can even still be a vulnerability: DOS attacks are attacks too.

That the failure isn't one that could have resulted in an RCE is only a small consolation in cases where the software doesn't have remote exposure.

I live in Berlin. I think it's too dirty and we should do more about it. I don't perceive dogs as a major problem. (My gut feeling would be the top problems are cigarette buds, trash from grilling parties and bottles from alcoholic beverages.)
As you say, the article is well written and interesting, it's also about a highly topical issue relevant to many in the tech industry.

It's also about why critical theorists flat out refuse to engage in debate over their beliefs. And Hacker News, a community that has more than its fair share of critical theorists, is witnessing a systematic effort to stop people even meta-debating why critical theorists don't debate.

Obviously defining a flag-worthy story as "one with a lot of flagged comments" is circular logic. The sort of people who want to avoid debate at all costs will certainly white-out and flag people who try to debate them. It's visible on so many threads here. That doesn't mean the article or comments aren't good.

Sad to say but Hacker News is really nowhere near as good at promoting intelligent curiousity as its staff like to believe. The software just isn't good enough to do that and nor do the owners ever upgrade or experiment with it to try and make that situation better.
If the attacker wants a cookie, then stealing a cookie gets them the cookie, but it is not necessarily the case that the attacker only wants a cookie.

Nothing compels Twitter to design their user administration tool so that it says "Oh you have a cookie well then it's fine for you to change Elon Musk's email address and switch off his 2FA".

For example it's perfectly easy to have a "Confirm" step for a privileged operation that requires WebAuthn authentication. But if you're the attacker that means a cookie doesn't help you.
While the usefullness is debatable, I'm a little concerned about the tree friendliness.

From what I can see on the pictures, the standoffs, including the side stability lugs shown in one of the pictures might be too small to avoid risk of damage to the bark.

For most trees, short mounting time, and light load it is probably fine as the page states, but someone walking into the table, or trying to sit on it, would likely damage at least some species of tree.

Use on your own trees as you wish, but maybe avoid things like this on community/park trees, at least not without additional padding and some understanding of how robust the particular kind of tree is.

Trees are very strong, but the bark isn't always.

Padding for trees should almost always be smooth on the tree side to avoid abrasion when mounting, no harder than the tree outer and inner bark, and spread the load ... sufficiently.

What is sufficient will vary from species to species, and to some extent by age, but considering some trees have a soft enough bark that you can at least superficially damage it with a fingernail, there are no obvious rules.

Err on the side of caution.
What I really want is an integration of automated proof checking with unsafe code, allowing completely safe rust programs.

Additionally, this could be extended to safe code to allow removing overhead from safety in things like bounds checks and Rc.
> He talks as if his work revolutionized the world and Jeff Bezos is a god among men.

I read the Tweets as an appreciation for Bezos’ vision, specifically acting on a non-consensus prediction at a moment when the core businesses was struggling.

The Kindle ecosystem includes the store and the reader apps, not just the e-ink reader. New business models that cannibalize existing core businesses are non-trivial to implement in a large company.
Isn't it a phased-array antenna? It can adjust itself at the speed of electronics, without moving parts, so that should not be an issue in any reasonable scenario if the software supports it.

A larger problem for use on sea might be that first generation Starlink sats do not have satellite-to-satellite links, so the boat and a ground station would have to be within range of the same satellite.
Where did you read the technical arguments? The article doesn't mention them. In fact, the article is very light on information, and only left me confused about the situation, like why are the presidents supporters calling for a coup? And how does blocking a dozen accounts change anything, really? Would the people behind them not simply open more sockpuppet accounts?
Can it be said that boys and girls have equal opportunity access to IT if girls get taught by parents or teachers or culture at large that computers are for boys? I would argue that it isn't.

So I agree with you in that simply forcing companies to hire more women is not a solution to the problem. But that does not mean that there isn't a problem, or that we can consider education, marketing and advertising, and other cultural reasons as unchangeable.

This is in fact exactly what people mean when they talk about systemic or structural inequality - there is no single point where things are going wrong, it is a whole host of different aspects of our society that together shape outcomes in a bad way.

But as we've seen with gay acceptance, change is absolutely possible, even on deeply divisive topics. And sure, it will take a long time to change the whole culture, and some people will feel deeply, sincerely, disturbed by the changes (like religious fundamentalists are feeling about gay marriage), and inequality will linger. But we do have the power to change.

Note: I'm not arguing equal outcomes in tech employment are as important as equal marriage. I'm just giving a relatively recent example of a massive cultural shift. Probably a more spent example would be the initial push for women's access to the workforce at all, but I believe that feels to distant to us.

Whyyyyy
an amoeba has consciousness.. and what you call the hard problem is a problem with the brain doctrine .. as the hands of a concert pianist have no trouble running the show with the rest of his or her parts cooperating to make it possible. .. the mind/brain looking on then .. as in many/most other experiences where a whole person is in flow.

its freaky to think my parts, glands, organs were not freely and willingly coordinating by way of the cns.. and i have no experiential evidence .. in the amoeba and up .. that a brain is even needed for consciousness.

The passive investment strategy was very good for me. I was quite active before, lost a lot of money, was occupied with the topic daily. Now I have peace of mind and a great return on my money.

The book that made me rethink everything is “The simple path to wealth” by JL Collins. It’s basically a round up of his blog posts. Although the title is a bit cheesy I can’t over recommend the blog/his book. It’s eye opening and straight forward to implement. He only recommends funds of Vanguard, John Bogle’s fund.
There are 11 or 12 supreme court judges. While one or two may present some "tastes" here and there, overall, all of them together are doing a good job til now.

Gilmar Mendes sometimes free their rich pals from prison here and there, but in other matters hes not that bad.

Dias Toffoli also do some shady things here and there but some bad things he did got reverted back by the other judges.

I dont think is fair to say they "represent the other side", first because this gives a dichotomistic way to see things that are far too simplistic.

Also because as a Brazilian too, im very thankful for what the two other powers; judiciary and legislative, have being doing to put the executive at least in check.

The president is nuts, and the country is without any sort of leadership, and if it were only incompetence, but the problem is that this guy is trying by any means necessary to do a takeover move over the republic..

And if those other powers weren't in opposition, trying to defend the democratic institutions, we would be heading to some sort of Putin state.

So of course that nothing is perfect, but overall i've been positively surprised about what they have done so far.
No, open source licenses impose no obligations on the copyright holder for their own code. For example, if the copyright holder releases their own code under a GPL licence, no law prevents them from also releasing a modified or unmodified version under a proprietary licence. This is allowed by law, but the proprietary version doesn’t of course negate the rights already given to those who received the GPL version.

If a project has many contributors (copyright holders), they would all have to agree to a license change, so in practice something like the Linux kernel is very unlikely to ever change to a proprietary licence, but it’s theoretically possible.

The copyright holders are never bound by the terms of a user licence.

I agree that in Berlin it is not as _major_ problem as in some other large cities, but still, it is telling that it is widely accepted as normal that all building corners that face the sidewalk are constantly pissed by dogs with the coloring of the walls clearly visible everywhere. As for poop, 90% of the times people pick it up, the rest can still ruin your day if you step into it.
Prototype guns are like startups you get a bunch of ideas and few stick. I probably should have clarified established gun companies and gun companies manufacturing established popular weapons. If I start a company building 1911's, AR's and AK's. Chances are the venture will be commercially successful. If I try to reintroduce the Bren-10 or a new concept gun, then I am playing a game of long odds unless I am an established gun designer with a track record of reliable designs e.g John Browning. Gun owners, other than collectors can be pretty fickle about reliability, it is why SIG, Glock and SAIGA do so well, due to the fact that they have multi-decade history of producing reliable guns.

The industry revenues are up, and all of that is going to the big labels and a token handful of artists at the very top of the celebrity pile.

The vast majority of artists are still getting screwed over by the labels. They're getting a pittance, if anything.

If at all possible, always buy directly from the artists or through sites like Bandcamp that actually pay out well.
