I've been a PC game pass subscriber since they started it up and haven't been disappointed. I honestly think it's one of the best values in gaming right now. Not every game on game pass is something you're going to love, but they have big depth and variety and a commitment to NEW releases, no waiting years for big titles like PS+ (to be clear, I own a PS4 and a PC, no actual Xbox).
There is also the Bonerowski Palace hotel in Krakow, formerly known as the Boner Palace.
This is illegal and exactly what Reagan tried during Watergate... Under article 2.

And he had better arguments. Like actual leaked confidential documents.
My experience is that small to medium size companies, where the person managing you is also screening resumes, pay much more attention to cover letters. I've had my cover letters explicitly mentioned by these companies when hiring. I've also hired based on cover letters at these companies.

Big companies don't look at all. HR or recruiter finds you by keyword OR you get referred by a friend for the job. Then 5 people who don't care take 20 minutes of their day to interview you. There's no chance for the cover letter to come up in this scenario. When I worked at BigCo I interviewed a decent amount of people and HR never handed me a cover letter to look at.
There can always be side channels. Side channel means some information channel that your model doesn't account for. By definition, it's not possible to be sure an implementation of a model doesn't have any side channels. The best known class of side channels is timing attacks, where the amount of time that an operation takes leaks some information about its content. This is a well-known area of research, and most modern implementations of cryptographical algorithms do take it into account; I expect this one does, too. If you can model the time an operation takes, you can prove that a given implementation has no timing channel. But any number of other side channels could potentially exist in this (or any other) implementation.
So basically I tell you to do a bunch of stuff and give it back, and you have no idea if the computation is a partial application/full application etc. Neat. Next question: if my previous statement is correct it seems that it may push a lot of the work back onto the client, otherwise I don't get how a server couldn't figure out relationships from access patterns on blocks. This would limit the utility of the server right?
> roughly 40 to 50 times the compute and 10 to 20 times the RAM that would be required to do the same work on unencrypted models

Too bad Moore's Law is dead, otherwise it would have been possible to run everything we run now in 10-12 years using Fully Homomorphic Encryption for the same cost!
Who's the original author? Does it say @manekinekko or something in the top left, next to the title?
Good points, there are definite examples of double standards regarding US and its portrayal of rival countries like China
"Worldwide, the rate of infection with herpes simplex virus—counting both HSV-1 and HSV-2—is around 90%" [0] That virus might be a contributor to Alzheimer's and other neurological problems.

Serious, long term health problems are a pretty normal part of the human condition. Serious long term damage is not actually an automatic call for action upending everyone's lifestyle. There needs to be a more precise explanation of what the problem is for it to be meaningful. Background risk for disease is already very high; as you point out normal flu is already threatening and most people basically ignore it.

Just know you can run a full Linux desktop experience on top of twenty-year-old spinning rust just fine. Micro$oft drooped the ball big time if one needs a ssd just to use a OS.
That's a good point, the best argument that the OP gives for present tense is that it removes the idea of there being an invisible narrator who is physically removed from these events and characters, which feels true for first-person present tense, but third-person present tense feels like a voyeur who watches but never engages, which doesn't feel like any interesting distinction from the typical third-person past tense narrator.

(The reason why I like third-person past tense is that I like to imagine that I as a reader am not just reading the book for myself, but reciting the book to someone else as a form of active storytelling. I don't find the "invisible future narrator" to be a problem because to me, that's me! But maybe that's just, er, me.)
Bing is a social media company?
Yeah, this stuff is cool so I'm trying to wrap my head around it. It sounds from what you're saying that you're trading a lot of efficiency for protection, but I can't see any way around it.
This would be hugely disappointing, the first international appealing social network outside of US Tech giants and they're potentially being forced to sell due to US Govt political strong arming. The world could use some diversity away from the US Tech giants.

As an aside, TikTok is the happiest & most enjoyable social network I've frequented,
a few seconds to show off some talent is a great way to burn some downtime with unique entertainment. Would hate to see it fragmented & acquired, especially to a US giant.
"For an EU citizen it makes exactly 0 difference whether it’s a US agency spying on them",
> "just let your sensitive information spill everywhere, who cares they got it anyway"
This is not even an argument. US is a foreign state and there's zero reason they should default access to our information. There's no guarantee they won't turn up their hostilities and abuse this access.

> "The purpose of all EU privacy regulation is to tariff foreign companies, apply pressure on foreign companies to move more operations to the EU, and to provide a competitive advantage to EU companies."
Great, as it should be. Imagine that, promoting domestic companies and progress. I've long thought that the Chinese Firewall was a subtle win for the Chinese. They have a flourishing information ecology of their own since they couldn't just use American product like Facebook or Amazon.
There does not need to be a written contractual relationship to invoke tortious interference. The followers clearly intended to support Owen financially, not Patreon itself, so there is a financial relationship between them.

But given that Patreon was clearly and obviously a man-in-the-middle of the relationship and had policies which could be violated and which would terminate the relationship, and all parties knew this up front, then it is also clear to me that Patreon can freely choose to stop being a man-in-the-middle, and as such I don't think the tortious interference claim makes sense in this case.
I disagree. Trade is bilateral. If China plays dirty and bans apps left and right we should encourage them to stop doing that by retaliating, much like we do when they give state aid to their private companies (which skews the free market in their favor).
How did China hurt you?
Another hint on timed coding challenges: most of them involve array or string manipulation, you can do these much faster if you learn how to do them via functional programming in your favourite language
Well it's true isn't it? People make bad career choices all the time. And people also build failing business and we shouldn't save those companies because "they deserve it".
Which isn't exactly reassuring or clarifying of any brightline, so of course this question continues to be in the air — unresolved. Will a stable framework of technological trade emerge between east and west besides "consult your legal oracles"?
If the focus is not in a text field it doesn't make sense to paste.

But if the focus is in a text field (where it actually makes sense to paste) in a web browser, then middle clicking does in fact paste, just like it does in every other sane X application.
Then their comment becomes even more suspect.
> EU would be wise to restrict American access to our information ecology.

When it comes to intelligence the opposite is happening - we are becoming more integrated with each other and the US. I personally think that’s probably a good thing. Our combined efforts encourage positive cooperation.
The US doesnt seem to have a problem taking down websites its found to be illegal, I don't know why a PWA would be much different. They dont need any buy-in from browser developers.
Of course you can, but the parent didn't call that ridiculous, but me talking about China's retaliation.
I use both, but I admit it's a bit idiosyncratic.

When immediately pasting after copying, the primary X buffer is obviously superior as it requires fewer actions, and only one hand.

However, if I'm selecting something to keep in the buffer for a bit before pasting, I'd often screw myself by overwriting the buffer via random clicks in between.

Now I'm in the habit of using primary in the cases when I know I already have an input field or prompt ready and waiting, and the very next thing I'm going to do is paste. When there are steps left to be performed after copy but before paste, I use the clipboard.

I know it sounds overcomplicated and perhaps insane, but it's actually totally automatic at this point, and doesn't feel like it costs any mental cycles at all. For the first case, either I just readied the other program for input within the last few seconds, or at least it's visibly waiting for input on my screen. If not, then Ctrl+C it is.
>109+ applications later, I landed myself more than 60 interviews. These comprised more than 60 introductory phone interviews, 50+ technical phone screen interviews, 18 take-home coding projects, 11 coding challenges and 8 on-site interviews including 3 virtual ones.

Rearranging slightly, into filter pass rates:

application: 55%
recruiter screens: 85%
technical phone screens: 72%
second tech screen: 21%
onsites: ?%

Obviously not every company follows the same process, but it seems like the author found it hard to make it through tech screens into onsites. So I'm not sure how much I'd weigh on their advice in that stage of the hiring process. But maybe someone with better access to the data can do a more nuanced analysis, like how often completing a code challenge led to advancing in the hiring process; I found those to be quite easy on average, but surprised to see how hard they were for the roles I was applying to -- it's not often an SRE would be assigned a programming task involving clique analysis.
After going through a few of these, I'm coming to the same conclusions. Even though I enjoyed some of these, I hate the entire process, mostly for the time consuming aspect of it. You're going through a series of stages, each taking time and causing you to be on edge, and then waiting a couple of weeks for an answer that end it suddenly, just like that. I'm too old for this shit. I want to have an two way street conversation and technical discussion to determine if I can be a good fit for a position and maybe if interest is on both sides, continue on technical discussion on the merits of the job, rather than writing code in an online document.

Sadly, most big well know valley companies are doing the leetcode obstacle course, because there are many many applying for the highest salaries in the industry. I can't see it changing anytime soon.
I think very few use the voice feature, but those who do will hate losing it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that only a few percent of iPhone users uses Siri.

The hype surrounding digital voice assistants have died out. It’s still useful in a few situations, but not having one isn’t as huge a defeat as it would have been 5 years ago. Microsoft could drop Cortana completely and be fine.

Got it. I took another pass through the article and was able to understand it a bit better with everyone's comments. Thanks all.
I think the friction of an act contributes to the analysis. It isn't hard to get a bitcoin account. It's a number. With other fake numbers assigned to it. Get people to send fake numbers to your fake number.

Should a 17 year old lose prime years of his life? Is there a better way to educate/reform the person?

If you say "Well in this other instance, the book got thrown at so-and-so". To this, I would ask, does that make it right?
In this instance, the simplicity of the system was its down fall.

I think the use of human pilots complicates a system. You are relying on a component to the system that is susceptible to tiredness, distraction, threats, rage, revenge, self destruction, and sudden death. Complete automation would replace one extremely complex and unpredictable component, with a less complex and more predictable component.
The comment by "Ibmresearcher" says that:

> Once one can do multiplication and addition all other operations can be bootstrapped from there so you can indeed do anything a Turing complete computer can do.

This is apparently iterated on many articles about FHE, but it seems false to me: to do Turing-complete stuff you also need comparisons, and the ability to change your flow depending on comparisons. But clearly you cannot do that with FHE, otherwise you could extract the encrypted content, one bit at a time.

My understanding is that an FHE computer can only execute a fixed net of additions and multiplications (or whatever operations they've got). So you can emulate an "if" clause by computing both branches and then selecting one of the two multiplying by 0 and 1 appropriately; you can do bounded "for" loops always executing the maximal number of times, but you can't do unbounded loops, therefore bye bye Turing completeness.

Of course there are a lot of interesting algorithms that can be executed without being Turing complete, but the general statement is false. Am I missing anything?
Using “Zionism” to describe the regime in Israel is misleading. Hertzl was an emancipated Western Jew who was on a personal mission to reinvent the idea of Jews like himself. Western, educated Sephardi. Not Eastern Europeans living in the Middle Ages, which he was culturally and emotionally detached from. Most Sephardi Jews would not marry Eastern European nor consider them to be Jewish at this stage. Hertzl wanted to take on a colonial project to prove the world Jews can be as assertive and proactive as other people. At this stage of history it was to colonize something. He didn’t see Israel-Palestine as a destination nor was he religious. He wasn’t even aware of the activities of the failed “lovers of Zion” project of couple of Russians that tried revive a Jewish homeland in Ottoman Palestine. What happens next was a takeover and repurposing of his agenda, one the two movements “merged”, which eventually will coincide with the holocaust.

Ps Ben Gurion’s treatment of diaspora Jews, ruppin’s race pyramid and eugenics plan for the Jews, and other “anecdotes” are beyond the scope of this discussion, but should be remembered. There’s nothing saintly about pre-state Israel, nor innocent.
Great product, solving exact pain point we have right now: non-technical team members glued to Django Admin all day long and waiting days to get much-needed data from engineers, who cannot find the time to write simple views with relevant SQL queries.

I have signed up and started testing your product. Looks great so far. If things check out, there is a good chance we will sign up for real and pay.

Congrats on the launch!
In the past when applying for many gigs (and writing cover letters) I used the opportunity to gauge how much I wanted to work at the company. If they didn’t read it or respond to it iiwii.

You're confusing a pure "free market" with "democracy." A democratically elected government can ban anything they want, as long as it is constitutional (and this clearly is). A democratically elected government can be as logically inconsistent as they want. And if these are things the people want as well, then the government will get re-elected.

America has never been a pure "free market," it's a mixed market, just like every current economy in the world.
The thread was explicitly about apple suing other companies over using their patents. You know that’s the context.
> For Twitter to be legally safe, you would only be able to subscribe to Twitter itself, and I'm not sure why anyone would do that?

1. The cases are still going to Arbitration. The only victory here, is that Patreon has to abide by its own TOS (at the time of the dispute).

2. It's not clear to me to what extent arbitration creates precedents.

3. In the very worst case, Twitter could just not remove people from its platform. There are all sorts of other things Twitter could do that would have nearly the same effect without the legal risk (e.g. shadowban someone from the rest of twitter except their current subscribers).
I put in my favorite poorly conceived product name: chocolate stool

It warned me that it contained the words 'ho' and 'chola'. Not really the result I expected.
The difference between the West and China is that China has been able to maintain its civilization state and it has a continuous history. The West's history is discontinuous
> Am I being overly charitable

No, you're being reasonable in your assessment. It's an entirely common reason for why it happens. People rationalize away things that make them feel uncomfortable, scared, or things they simply don't want to deal with (if they confront it, it forces a change in their life, or a difficult choice and similar).

There's a finite load that people can handle at one time, whether that's trying to quit smoking or dealing with problems with their children or work, etc.

Ignorance plays an important role, no question, however it's related to the unwillingness to confront an issue first and foremost. An unwillingness to confront a thing (eg ignorance about SARS-CoV-2) is a consequence rather than cause; that unwillingness is often caused by the existing mental tax, life stress, the person is under (and all people have varying capacities for absorbing that, some people can't absorb much). This is another reason why childhood education is so critical, it can be very difficult to find the time to properly educate yourself later in life, as life's burdens attempt to swallow you; and your brain is more often going to spongehappy (knowledge nom nom nom), versus a more resistent adult brain that recognizes the effort and untangling required in dealing with/reconciling internal knowledge conflicts once incorrect information is in place. Teaching children how to think is hugely important, versus the person attempting to remake their brain processes later in life (such as during a global pandemic, as they're losing their job), when it's guaranteed to be a huge struggle with existing cruft/debt.
I would agree that general Nvidia troubles don't particularly stand out in the PS3 hardware design clusterfuck, but Microsoft's and Nvidia's falling out really is indicative of terrible relationship management even if it was from both sides. Again my point is that Nvidia just doesn't understand how to work together, how not to view everything as a zero sum game. That doesn't mean that Nvidia is the only bad actor in these situations, but Nvidia really does end up in these situations quite a lot.
The problem is I can't tell which companies will have an HR/recruiter vs a manager as the first filter. Almost all calls I've gotten from startups (most of which would be considered "small" companies) were via a recruiter.

I guess if I apply to an established, small/medium company that is not a startup, it's more likely to be read by a manager.
You are incorrect - there is a legal concept known as strict liability that defines an instance where one party is completely liable for damages to a party, regardless of the negligence of any other party. I am sure Twitter didn't run afoul of that concept here, but the question is, "should they?" Presumably, a skilled person with only a few years' experience was able to find a flaw in their system so severe, that multiple political and business leaders' accounts were manipulated. It's a dangerous embarrassment.
Sure, but no one would argue, I hope, that British society would have been improved if the British government had changed their laws so that the Tea Party would no longer be a crime.
If stealing a cookie is all you needed then FIDO isn't relevant to the picture at all.
How do you go back to Xorg? Logout/login and/or reboot or is there a better way? I'm asking this because I often need screen sharing to work with my customers (demoes, check problems, etc) and I'm sticking with Xorg because Wayland doesn't do screen sharing.
because none of them exist for qt, or fltk
On the other hand, Tiktok is the only social media platform I absolutely can't stand. Low quality content, repeated jokes, people desperate for attention, impersonal, memes, and all of it video so there's an unavoidable fixed time cost.

With so much good high content available on the internet and how little time people have, it saddens me that so much time is spent on the low quality noise.
> (...) because TikTok itself is banned in China; Chinese users have to use Douyin

Seems to me that it's not banned at all, they just release a region-specific version for a specific market.
> This is a typical orientalist take.

Yes. As I mentioned these ideas are not mine but advanced by 3 books which explain the Chinese perspective. These books are bipartisan and multinational and explain this principal.

* Henry Kissinger's on China (Republican)

* Destined for War by Graham T. Allison (Democrat - Joe Biden recommended book)

* The China Dream by Liu Mingfu (Chinese PLA General)
Pretty sure they do this by taking over the domain... Not sure if that would work in this case...

exactly -

The problem is that there are three logical states that need three different actions

1. if nothing done yet: start async computation

2. if async computation in progress: wait for it

3. return result as computaton done

Atomicity in the sense that no other Python code can run during a setdefault, is not relevant.

Waiting for something that is running in another loop actually isn't easy either; I'm not sure that Python really allows it - won't you get an error:

The future belongs to a different loop than the one specified as the loop argument
Ctrl+V is for quoting a control character.

IOW: if you press Ctrl+D, it will cause EOF on the input stream. If you press Tab, it causes your shell to attempt to autocomplete. But if you press Ctrl+V Ctrl+D, or Ctrl+V Tab, it will insert ASCII code 0x04 or 0x09, respectively, into the input stream.
