> Yet the Liberals threatening their own MPs with ending their careers if they vote their conscience wasn’t playing politics?

Of course they were playing politics - why would you sacrifice party unity when you can shame your political opponents on the left and still get the outcome you want?

You don’t seem to understand that your allies playing politics with something you really care about is completely different from your opponents playing politics with the same topic.

> Also love the part where you seem to be completely ignorant of Howard legislating to make gay marriage unambiguously forbidden. In 2004.

How does that help your case at all?
Male and female being a binary difference is an artifact of British colonialism?

Is that what critical theorists really think? That's as mad as a box of frogs. The world is full of languages that actually label every single noun as either male or female. They date back far further than the British empire. You have gods that are clearly male or female dating from thousands of years ago in any ancient culture. The concept of male and female being clearly distinct and without a third category has nothing to do with colonialism.

I mean, I get that my "crowd", such that it is, may seem offensive when confronted with these beliefs. And yeah, sure, not ideal. But this stuff sounds like what flat earthers believe. They have all kinds of weird arguments about why the world isn't really spherical that can sort of pass muster if you don't think about it much and ignore all the evidence to the contrary, but most people just say, eh, that's really mad and ignore it. I mean what you're arguing here contradicts a lifetime of 'lived experience', to use their terms.

The article you're pointing to - and let's generously assume the story is 100% factually accurate - says pretty specifically that this is a very, very rare medical disorder. It's not some sort of thing that needs to be taken into account in daily life.

But the notion of binary gender being the default state is supported by vast amounts of other evidence, so much that people don't even see the need to spell it out because that's kind of like how you end up trying to prove that NASA images of the Earth from space aren't Photoshops.
I can offer some advice from the perspective of an indie-hacker who has been independent about ten years via an e-commerce thing for law students (Oxbridge Notes).

I view each marketing activity — be that a reddit ads campaign, a series of responses on Twitter, an SEO play, etc. — as an experiment: You test the waters (ideally at limited cost to yourself) and emerge with data about its success. This data you document religiously, analyze, and integrate with previous findings. Slowly, but surely, you hone in what's effective for you and the double-down on it.

This is time-consuming, risk-laden, and laborious. You will face utter uncertainty. But every so often you strike gold — some repeatable, profitable marketing technique — and can milk that opportunity for years — perhaps even building a stable business atop it.

I recorded a bunch of screencasts on what I went through to get traffic to my site (up to 200,000 sessions/month). These might give you a nuts-and-bolts feel for what goes into the process:

Most do not allow US customers, but even BitMEX gives you a few days to withdraw your funds after freezing your account if found the be in the US (I’ve been told by people who had their accounts frozen). Some have KYC, sure, but in my experience, many do not and let you withdraw without issue. A lot of people (stupidly, IMHO, but that’s besides the point) trade 100x, its part of many of these exchanges selling points.

But if you were pulling the twitter scam, as I described, you would be risking a few $K on this trade in the hopes for making a million or two, while still being able to do the scam they did. Sure, there are risks (such as being able to withdraw at all after using the twitter hack to manipulate the market), but chances are there are plenty of others who will have shorted too so you’d be part of the noise and wait a week before withdrawing. Its not a perfect plan, but its straightforward with the potential to multiply the scammed money.
and, speaking from experience, the "slow" tourist one that's included with the JR pass. On the way to Osaka from Iwakuni, we found ourselves with a few other tourists getting to ride the Shin sitting on our luggage at the back of one of the cars. Not a horrible experience, obviously, and gave us the opportunity to have a nice 45 minute chat about "WE ARE IN JAPAN AND IT IS THE BEST" with people we wouldn't have otherwise met.

I got such a kick out of the "slow" shin still being worlds better than anything here in the USA.

Sure, that is a valid position, and I mostly believe the same that you do.

To me, the OSS movement seems to be split between a minority of extreme idealism (Richard Stallman's position on the importance of software Freedom), and a majority of mostly big corporate pragmatists, which have realized that is far more lucrative to share the burden of developing common infrastructure between themselves than the previous status quo; and who greatly dislike anyone who tries to co-opt the OSS movement into something which does not serve this purpose. There is also a 3rd camp of companies that want to sell proprietary software, but who have noticed that open source variants of their software are a better marketing strategy than the shareware and freeware of old.

I believe that this third group is the biggest annoyance to both of the traditional OSS communities, but also the only ones who can actually make money by selling software whe also showing users exactly what code they are actually running.
Rails, but I won't say rails was any way responsible for all this. It was poor design choices from our side.

It was a large database due to unnecessary complexity and we do have indexes but due to poor design it was hard to gain any significant performance gains from adding indexes.
Some self-promo before I start, I just started - https://hackerspad.net

Here is my plan

- First code out the part of the site relating to alternatives. About 80% there
- Next slowly start listing in startup communities that will like this project. I started with small subreddit , then Show HN, then some more startup communities before I go to indiehackers and producthunt
- Focus on organic traffic. Improve internal linking on my content which dramatically improves crawl rates
- Submit sitemap to google,bing and Yandex. Don't forget the latter two. They help big time.
- Next leverage some traction I will have gotten to reach out to atleast 50 people on linkedin. Offer them something for free or ask for a review for a free trial. I will make this as targeted as possible.
- Look at FB communities which can be a huge source of traffic. Entrepreneur, startups communities are all worth their time.
- If i was running a saas focussed on a specific audience, I would develop content on the site via those topics that may interest the audience.
- Build a community around the site. I have just coded a hacker news like option on my site under news and now will improve engagement via emails I have collected so far.
- I do intend to list at some competing sites but that is after I have some traction just for the backlinks.

Its not very hard. For content specific sites, organic traffic is still the best. Don't add cloudflare if you wish Google to crawl your site aggressively.
What research? The research with correlations that people who look at that are statistically more likely to do things?

Sure. If you take a sample of people with absolutely no interest and a sample with people who do have interest you would find the sample with interest would be more likely to attack someone.

Does the consumption of CP drive the desire or does the desire lead to the consumption and subsequent unwanted behavior in some people? Is punishing people for their desires and driving them underground really helpful? All to sate our sense of disgust? Is this even compatible with due process?

Ideally, you would advance technology such as to make artificial alternatives indistinguishable from reality and produce robots. Or whatever it takes. Disgusting? Sure. But, it is better than the alternative and it preserves the high standards we set for our liberal democracy.

You keep out of other people's business and they keep out of yours. No one tells you how to live your life, so long as you don't bother them.
I agree 100% that Apple are aiming at creative professionals. I do think that actual buyers are a lot more diverse though.

I've seen lots of iPad Pros in use in business meetings where the user is almost certainly not aware of the screen. In some cases it's because they just want a bigger screen. In others just because they wanted 'the best' iPad and the cost wasn't an issue. (I've actually heard someone come into an Apple store and just ask for the best iPad irrespective of cost!)

Graceful pure JavaScript fallback when GPU is not available.

This is a bad thing, not a happy thing to be advertised. Software fallback was of the most frustrating parts of working with OpenGL circa 2010.

If you're making a hardware accelerated library, stop trying to make it "gracefully" fail. Just fail! That way people can address the root problem.

On the other hand, as long as the library is sufficiently noisy about the fact that it's in CPU mode, it seems fine. I just hope they don't follow OpenGL's design decisions.

It's surprisingly hard to figure out the answer from the README: https://github.com/gpujs/gpu.js/#readme There's a "How to check what's supported" section, but it's also "mostly for unit tests."
I'm not sure if this is coming down to semantics here but the password is essentially encrypted to everyone except the client, I wouldn't call that sending a password over the wire, you may disagree. This is a unique value for every login attempt.

No it’s not. He/she has a brand new account. Hacker News isn’t exactly a new site so users with new accounts need to prove they are trustworthy. It’s the exact reason why they flag new accounts, because if you are using a throwaway account you are doing something you don’t want tracked back to you. What’s your defense on that? Or are you rushing to defend another ccp account?
This is cool and I am glad it exists as someone who works with nodejs often, but if you’re doing heavy server side computations where serious parallelization is actually important, I’m a little skeptical that investing in having those computations in JS is likely to be a reasonable choice in many cases outside of small hobby projects. I could be wrong, but I think the performance compared to other alternatives also using parallelization via the GPU would be very unfavorable and you also wouldn’t have rich complementary libraries for this as a result of the low performance ceiling for JS in this domain.
Yet just "no" would be an immoral act itself, since it is discrimination against an act that is morally neutral. Let us leave aside the question of the morality of the act that you hypothesize we might eventually decide to commit, and assume it is immoral. (I phrase it this way since these "unintended consequences" don't follow as a matter of fact but require people to decide to perform them.) Even if we in future might end up deciding to commit an immoral act, that is no justification to continue committing the present immoral act.
Buffett very rarely uses such absolutes in a literal way. He has said to buy with a mindset that you plan to hold a stock forever. It's meant as a mental tool, to keep you from over-trading, bouncing in and out of positions too frequently. It's meant to spur greater discipline and better investigation of what you're buying.

He's very much an advocate of selling if the situation warrants it.

He frequently sells stocks and doesn't need the money. He dumped his airline holdings (he owned 10% of all the majors) during the pandemic while sitting on ~$130 billion in cash. He sold a large chunk of Wells Fargo recently (a stock he has liked for a long time). He previously bought and sold Oracle, IBM, Walmart, and so on. He has made several mistakes messing with oil companies, including a bad one with ConocoPhillips in 2006 before the commodity bubble crash.

Buffett is always willing to sell, under two scenarios: 1) he comes to the conclusion that he was wrong in the assessment that prompted the purchase (a mistake on his part, as in Conoco); 2) something substantial changes about the the company or its context for the negative (or otherwise in a way that he isn't able to understand, something outside his lane).

The SEO Ranking Strategy That You've (Probably) Never Heard Of
I don't want to discourage the author but, to be honest, what I see is nowhere close to what I figure would help me to learn Japanese. Questions I see on home page have nothing to do with learning - some about traveling around the country, some about translating "good morning", etc. True - I haven't registered. TBH though I don't see why should I.

When it comes to learning any language, but Japanese in particular, I can't thank enough to the guys who created Mass Immersion Approach web page[0]. Their method is based on Stephen Krashen's "language acquisition through comprehensible input"[1] and... it just works.

I've been learning Japanese in the classroom for around 2 years. I've been living in Japan for 5 years and my Japanese was rather mediocre. I've left Japan for a year and forgot a lot. Grammar is gone now, most sentence patterns are gone, mose kanji (and I've never been big on kanji) are gone.

Now, after 4 months of MIA I am better then I've ever been. If you truly want to learn the language - read the page, watch their YT videos[2], just do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time.

PS. I am not related. Just a happy learner.

Even without self-destruct, a satellite not programmed to be captured could simply fire some thrusters if it detects an orbit change, and that would likely make some big dammage inside the capturing shuttle.
The trouble is all the things you would need for reading technical material (large size, note taking, etc) would detract from what you need to read fiction.

They probably should be two different devices. Personally I'm waiting for the new Remarkable.
only if that block, or something in its "trusted set" (my term, for things in the same module that can access private members) is incorrect, though.

safety/unsafety in Rust is factorable, which is a key part of the reason Rust is useful at all.
I'm aware that however it's done it'll be hard.

Does it really require formal semantics for unsafe rust though? I'm not familiar enough with rust to give an example, but if you imagine there's the unsafe rust level and beneath that the "machine code" (not actually machine code, just at the abstraction level equivalent to it) you should be able to hand write what the rust code is doing, without requiring the compiler to construct the machine level operations.

With a formal semantics the proof checker just checks that the written proof (at rust level) matches with the rust code, but requires as you said an understanding of how unsafe rust interacts with the proof, whereas with a proof written at machine level, you don't need to understand the rust semantics, you just need to translate the rust to machine level and then check the proof there.

Perhaps the machine level could be some layer in llvm? I'm only a little familiar with compilers, and hardly at all with more complicated compiler theory, but this seems reasonable to me.
YMMV but I’ve seen Teachable used well in cases like this. That should allow you to avoid reinventing the wheel.
There are standard BLE GATT attributes for reporting power output, cadence, etc. from indoor bikes (and tons of other standards for other fitness appliances, smart scales, blood sugar measurement devices, etc.). If the vendor had used these standard attributes there won’t be any need for reverse engineering their protocol.

Moral of the story: choose appliances that support standard protocols.
I have no idea how a researcher is supposed to show that CP induces demand in pedophiles without running into some pretty massive fundamental issues. There are already troubles getting people to admit who they're going to vote for anonymously, so getting people to admit that they are using child pornography anonymously seems like an extremely tall task.

I've also seen studies trying to show the opposite, or trying to show that there is no causation either way, so I don't think there is anything resembling a consensus on this issue at all.
One thing i think about is what where would NLP and linguistics research gone if another language (other than english) was the predominant language. Granted there is quite of bit interesting fundamental research in other countries and languages. But it seems many of problems and approaches developed in language understanding and NLP target specific idiosyncracies of the English language. If NLP researched with say German (which has a deep and overly explicit vocabulary) or Hindi or Mandarian, would the fundamental NLP approaches and problem areas be different and potentially better?
You know you're doing low level stuff when the guide mentions things like

> Also consider using older CPU microcode without the microcode mitigations for CPU vulnerabilities.

I don't think I even know where to find older microcode for my particular CPU.
Sounds much like sunken costs fallacy. ;)

As someone who grew a site from nothing to 200k/monthlies, here's my advice:

1. The best way is if you get people to link to you. This comes down 20% to having better content and 80% to putting in the legwork to share your work and get others to see it (and then link). This outreach work is back-breaking and filled with rejection. Which brings me to:

2. In my experience nothing is easier (at least holistically) than having a high _quantity_ of content (I'm talking at a scale of 1000s of pages). This is a long-tail play and doesn't require near as many inbound links. Consider finding a low cost (Upwork/algorithmic) way of doing so. This content must still be of value to human readers so don't create keyword-stuffed drivel.

3. Put a lot of thought into how your search snippet appears in Google (look up: meta description and micro-data). This snippet is your website's a sale pitch: you need to convince someone browsing on Google why they should other clicking through.

very bad decision
I did adress it though, but I formatted the post poorly since it was very late. I did acknowledge that in the beginning the authority in charge of elderly homes messed up, badly. But it's unfortunate that this fuck up drags the whole strategy into the ground. I'm very confident that had we simply enforced stricter care in the elderly homes that huge chunk of people would've not died in the beginning and fractions would speak a whole nother story. The strategy is working, unfortunately the media doesn't want it to work. As the other guy said in this thread add up the estimate for T-cell immunity and we're likely approaching 50% immunity.

But sure, all those people in elderly homes got the short end of the stick in the beginning. But please be level headed and don't judge the whole strategy on that.
> the brain already made a decision even before the conscious mind became aware of it. Thus putting doubts on our conscious experience of free-will.

Seems to conflate consciousness and free will. Just because you're not conscious of it, your brain still made that decision. And your conscious mind can still go back on the decision and "change your mind".
Those criticisms haven't really been true of JS for years. Google has invested many dozens of millions to make JS fast. And GPU acceleration is largely unrelated to the particular language that happens to drive the GPU.

If the critique is "static typing good, JS bad" then that's a fair argument. But personally I'm excited to have something akin to a scripting language for a GPU.

That's a wildly uninformed accusation.

There's a lot of problems with telecoms there, but WhatsApp actually has partnerships to enjoy "unlimited" bandwidth privileges with all four mobile operators in Brazil. Just checked and all four have such plans: Claro, Vivo, TIM and Oi.

The bans were because the courts were trying to coerce WhatsApp into responding to subpoenas.
For the majority of applications that follow this guide (or need to), the OS mitigations don't matter anyways:

1. They're running only trusted code.

2. L1 cache attacks aren't relevant if there's only one thread ever running on a given core.

3. Kernel-bypass networking means there are no system calls in the hot path anyways, so the OS mitigations won't even run in the first place.

If you're already doing all this it may be easier/better to look at using FPGAs instead. The advantage of this approach is that you don't need to procure a card with enough LUTs to house your design, and it allows the Ops team to contribute to performance.
If you are already using Postgres, then TimescaleDB is a natural fit - not having to deploy and manage a separate service is a real boon. You can also join with non-TimescaleDB tables, so if you need to combine time series data with regular relational data, that's another advantage.
