Could any downvoters please provide information about any actual experiment which proves existence of space-time being of different kind than existence of a number.

Also it would be nice to see any non-interpreted physical processes which involves space-time.

Thank you.
> Was stored in an eBay warehouse: No, eBay does not have warehouses.

eBay used to have a service where you could take any random junk to their mall kiosk or a FedEx store and eBay would sell it on your behalf. That would pretty much require them to have warehouses.

Is that service dead?
they've intentionally selected the word due to it's negative context. The usage of "leaker" allows them to play to the 'orange man bad' narrative, which they value more than getting Snowden pardoned.

That sounds right. Except if you see encounters with the aboriginals of Australia, they looked in great health and had remedies for a lot of the problems above. Wet mud on the skin for insect bites, slippers made out of leaves etc.
> But we find that “post-transition” we still see high rates

But lower than pre-transition.

> but I believe that was also addressed and found unconvincing.

I can't say I understand how a paper would account for systemic discrimination, but even if they did so successfully, treatments for most things don't have 100% rates of success.

> On the other hand, I have heard therapy for gender dysphoria (GD)

Yes, and this is normally part of treatment for GD for anyone. It just very often doesn't work.
Many of us are not tightly attached to all parts of our identities. For some, they might care deeply about their identity as a devout Christian/Muslim, others might not really care. Some might care about their political party affiliation, others might not care. Some might care about their gender deeply, others might not care.
I think there is almost zero chance that Biden will debate him.

If he does pardoning Snowden and making that into an issue is a brilliant move. That will sting hard.
> When did he give them what information exactly?

He gave them the information when he got to China.

> The two sides disagree whether he attempted this. Snowden say he spent tremendous effort trying to report things through the proper channels.

I think if he had, he'd have a single shred of evidence that he had actually tried. I find it hard to believe that he gathered a ton of information that had nothing to do with his supposed reason for leaking the information, but didn't save a single email he could have sent to the people he tried to report it to.

Replying to myself: maybe that is working as intended for them, keep new people out and filter for those who can withstand meaningless grind during their work?
It would be a great way to stick it to the intelligence community which has been doing some questionable things in their investigation of Russian collusion. E.g. fabricating evidence for FISA warrants (see recent guilty plea)[1]

Amazingly HN loves to crap all over FISA warrants, but when it's used against Trump, nothing but crickets.

care to elaborate?

the Panfrost project has reverse engineered a bunch of popular Mali ISAs and now there's hardware support on the kernel for VA-API on these chips.

I really wish Opus would make it into wireless speakers and headphones. From what I've read, it might not be the most power-efficient format, however, and those tiny earbuds need to be /really/ efficient.

But I also suspect that popular wireless codecs (i.e. Dolbly's AptX, MPEG's AAC, and Samsung's Scalable) are powered by marketing fluff. I'd love an informed opinion :D
If he actually does it I'll seriously considering voting for him. He won't, though.

fyi, locked up Chrome when I loaded it on my Google Pixel 2 XL. Will load it on the laptop later
> The Linux gamer market is miniscule

Not for the matters of the Linux driver. Whether Nvidia cares is another question.

> The thread never said anything about gaming cards

And Linux gamers is the main driving force behind open drivers. Industrial users are too slow to have effect on that.

I previously read about this in the context of a company that claims they are working on a similar test:

This is an exciting discovery. There are a number of great amateur collecting spots for trilobites out there. I've been to a few and collected some nice specimens but certainly never found one with the eyes intact.
That was absolutely fantastic.

Keto is absolutely the missing ingredient in most dieters' arsenal. I'm sure most IF'ers end up keto intermittently anyway, but you'd be more efficient at it if you develop the full metabolic machinery for it by specifically targeting it. Would you believe you can avoid feeling hungry without eating all day if you're keto? I never thought it was possible until I tried it. Now when I "forget" to eat when I'm in the middle of a coding spurt during lunch I don't subsequently feel like shit the rest of the day. In fact, I feel great. It's kind of a superpower.
it's not a war over her race - it's one over what that race is called in america. a black person in germany and an african-american are the same race. that race is not "african-american." american is a nationality, not a race.

with nationality the question is, should she be called african-american. the answer in my opinion is no. after several generations in a country, you are now from that country. her dad was jamaican. his dad was jamaican. and so on so forth. many generations back, the person came from africa. and after a few generations in jamaica, i'd call them 'jamaicans.' the race of those jamaicans is the black race.

spain colonized belgium a long time ago. then a spanish person starts a family there. many generations later, a guy moves to america. is he spanish-american now? of course not. he's clearly of belgian descent. just like harris is of jamaican descent. in fact, he only speaks french or german. btw, the race of spanish people is white - not spanish, not spanish-american. but hey, don't let that stop us from calling white spanish people "latino" - or latinX. like mutantX the x-men b-side tv show. it's as offensive as calling the qatari and qataria "cuttery." but we do that too. nukular.

the issue here, which is what's actually being fought on wikipedia despite what that propaganda article falsely states, is that we mistakenly call all blacks african-american. an issue europe (where i'm originally from) does not have. heck, while living in france, I've observed annoying american tourists call french blacks african-american. the issue here is being purposely dense to serve a narrative and create an anger war, which the extremely bias article is doing.

harris is black-indian, or black-asian if you don't pronounce your r. that is her race.

now do we call black "african" just like we call white "caucasian?" that indeed is a valid point. however adding the "-american" to it, and calling the result a "race" makes that point unnecessary to debate, since the result is no longer a race. i wonder if the white people and arab people from africa are black too. i'm a white jew. I guess i'm african-american now too.
Snowden went to Russia. Julian Assange couldn’t physically get out of a FVRY nation.
Both sides-ism is a snappy accusation used by partisans to suppress access to information and context, predicated on the idea that coverage is equivelant to either an endorsement or proportional to the significance of a viewpoint or group relative to the broader population. If there are N perspectives about something I'm considering, or N significant actions undertaken by an individual or groups during an event I'm trying to understand, sanding off the ugly bits to fit a given moral narrative is a disservice to the audience.

I personally look to journalism for knowledge, and to help inform my understanding of the world. Not moral guidance.
I've always thought the Human/Wolf tag team must have been really frustrating for all the other animals. The two most successful persistence hunting species teaming up would be pretty lame for the prey species.
I think they’ll appear slower to us. We’d be sped up to them. I’d love to be able to travel at half the speed of light, a few months and I’d be able to return far in the future.
I think you've mixed up Snowden (whose leaks were all around 2013, well before the Trump campaign) and Assange (who fits your description).
True. But my larger point is that even aside from the current drop in overall USPS non-package volume, the USPS has a lot of experience in handling lots of mail. Think of every adult in every household receiving tax documents from the IRS and every employer, bank, and other financial company in January, then many/most of those same adults mailing tax returns to the IRS and state tax agencies by April 15.
Know These Life Truths
I'd like to argue a little bit for treating the voices in your head as real.

There is a phenomenon of "plurality" where you perceive yourself as a system of multiple people/personas with unique personalities and interests and identities. Psychologists would generally classify patients who show up this way as having dissociative identity disorder - but only if they meet the criterion of the symptoms causing distress/affecting your lives, and many plural systems seem to be just fine with it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/plural/wiki/faqs is probably a good starting point for reading about it from an inside-the-community view. (There's a plural community for essentially the same reasons that there's a transgender community.) https://smallcedarforest.org/on-transgender-and-plural-exper... is an interesting post from someone who connects plural and transgender identity. (FWIW, the one person I know IRL who is out about being plural is also trans.)

Going further back, we have stories across cultures of people who (either positively or negatively) claimed the ability to communicate internally with other personalities/identities, and occasionally those personalities would "front" (in the language of the contemporary plural community).

And then, of course, there's the case of the woman who heard voices insisting that she get a CT scan. Her psychologist, who was giving her medication to suppress the voices, decided to do the scan just to prove she was fine - and she had cancer that required operation. When she woke up after surgery, they said, "We are pleased to have helped you. Goodbye," and they never returned. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232271307_A_difficu...

And while I was trying to find that story, I found this one, of an organization that helps people who hear voices in their heads by telling them the voices are real and helping them work through it: https://www.minnpost.com/mental-health-addiction/2014/04/mos...
Hey Marshall,

Do you still work at Dyalog? Is this just a personal hobby project?

Why choose JS or Go as implementation languages if you're already quite familiar with C? I guess web browser support is neat, but what I've always really wanted was a single executable (no install) that can run as a REPL or build self-contained executables that bundle the code and interpreter. I think that could be pretty useful. I know J exists, but it is a huge install.
It’s not a mass phenomenon. Neither is Autism. Fewer people are trans than are gay, but nobody really knows. At the bottom end it’s 0.3%-0.6% of the population, but that’s only people who are out. If you survey people in their low 20s, it’s higher. We’re a little less common than redheads in all likelihood. Gay people in the early 80s knew there were a lot more gay people than straight people saw, but they had no idea what the true numbers were. It’s like that.

Most of the trans people I know aren’t remotely avant-garde. I know a bunch of suburban women in monogamous relationships with their spouses or partners. I know a couple of suburban trans guys who are still married to the men they married before they figured it out, one of them with kids. I know several trans guys in health care. I do know a few trans people who are artist and writer types and are more flamboyant. The first trans woman I met worked at the same Wall Street brokerage I did and was very quiet.

When I go to (back when travel was a thing) places that are less friendly than the coasts and people see the trans flag pin on my bag, I frequently have people come out to me and talk about how they can never transition.

There is really no orthodoxy beyond believe people about their gender. Trans people are very different from each other and their experience of being trans varies wildly. There’s some agreement around language and tropes that seem to provoke violence towards us, but many trans people use language to describe themselves that other trans people would be offended by. But that’s true of gay people too.
> Git is very easy to fuck up even during normal use (multiple people working on a software).

I disagree that git design is responsible for this. If you have enough people doing something, especially when they all have different subsets of knowledge about the tool they're using. The chance someone will do something incompatible with everyone else rises. Git is clearly more complex than a saw, but give one to enough people who don't understand how to fell a tree, and ask them to build you a deck, oh and you're not allowed to talk to eachother. Something's gonna go badly.

> Just because some people wanted a feature, doesn't mean I agree with their estimation of risk/reward. The risk being destroying couple days of other people's work. We were really close one time, didn't happen because my local copy was not yet synced.

There's a story here, that I'm interested to hear. But git was kinda designed to avoid this exact thing. There's a reason that your local copy is 100% complete by default. Which means if you really came close to losing a lot of work. All of you were going out of your way to use git in a very not normal way.
Opus files are often enclosed in the Ogg container format, so some of your .ogg files might actually contain an opus stream instead of a vorbis stream. Files with an .opus extension usually use Ogg as container format as well.
Interesting. Now that this info is published, Search Engines can use it to downrank all this organized SEO manipulation.
They're not responsible for counting votes. In many states (maybe most/all?), there is additional tracking done by the state department overseeing the elections to track when ballots are received. For instance, in Michigan I can check the MI Secretary of State's website to verify that my ballot has been counted.
They don't want people using geforce cards in compute servers/clusters. It's artificial market segmentation since the workstation cards are higher margin. They want customers to pay the big bucks since hypervisor setups are basically only used in business and big budget settings.

I would assume they had protected themselves before the SoftBank purchase. Also, it's odd that they refer to the new stuff as Apple Silicon.
In some grand sense i think you're right, but your comment fails to appreciate the economics of the issue. I put computer algorithms to work on problems I want to solve; it advances my goals. On the other hand, Git puts me to work on problems that are a necessity of some external requirement or some other purpose in the category of "distraction": I get paid for the computer algorithms part, not the understanding Git part.

You are right it's not hard, it's complex. My problem is that my actual problems can be both hard and complex... and putting a complex distraction in the way detracts from my goals: not enhances it.

I think many in technology fail to appreciate this distinction. I often hear open source advocates respond to complaints about software quality jumping up to suggest opening issues or contributing fixes... which is fine in its own right: but if those issues/fixes aren't reasonably in line with my own goals in trying to use some class of tool... and some other solutions such as a closed source solution meet the goals more readily... I'm probably not going to spend my time advancing someone else's goals at the expense of my own.
In general the command line is like navigating a cave with a flashlight. I love the idea of some multi-line hinting system that shows you common paths.
I've been thinking about some of these guys a lot lately.

When are we going to collectively unpack the fact the Media Lab/Berkman Center project has been a complete failure?

I worked at these places and mingled on the outskirts, and for a long time really believed all the bullshit they were spouting at the time - that the internet was a positive force, if we just connected enough people, surely their "stories" and "empathy" would "revolutionize" the world, etc., etc..

They were all wrong.

Digital, networked technology seemed exciting for a brief and beautiful moment, but has turned into nothing more than a global system of surveillance, advertising, propaganda and skinnerboxing, far worse than any television ever was - forget about your "global library" dreams.

And yet - they persist, despite their ever increasing irrelevance. Spineless hucksters like a Zittrain still get wheeled out occasionally for their take on some hot new trend in Wired magaize, they still get private and government grant money, and, of course, they still keep taking on hapless graduate students.

Just when will we call a spade a spade?

EDIT: This little tirade made me go back and re-read some of the Cluetrain Manifesto - I feel almost ashamed of myself to reread something like "markets are conversations" and remember thinking it was ever good, important, or even valid argument. I now see this as evil thought.
I'm uncertain here, but my gut tells me that potential positive and negative effects of whistleblowing are so hard to predict and fully attribute (they tend to be at a global geopolitical scale where lots of other cofounding factors are involved), that we should judge whistleblowers on their underlying motivations instead. Was the whistleblower/leaker motivated purely by a desire to improve the welfare of their nation's citizens? If so, the person should be praised as a selfless patriot. If there were other motivations, like personal gain, they're potentially a traitor.

Why I'm not certain about this:

- What kind of other actions does this philosophy of "the motivation justifies the ends" lead to? Assassinating political leaders suddenly seems on the table...

- What if the whistleblower is motivated by the welfare of the citizens of the world, rather than just of their own nation? I guess you can be a traitor to your country and a hero to humanity (see Nazi Germany etc etc)
It's pretty standard for novelty accounts to put disclaimers in their details, so I don't think that provides much information one way or another.
> What Trump is trying to do is access the libertarian/tech worker vote.

Thats a pretty small niche of voters. Not saying its a wrong assumption, but libertarians are typically a lot more concerned by trade and individual freedoms than whistleblower issues if you were to list up their top priorities.
He was not a Government employee at the time. Contractors don't get to be whistle blowers.

EDIT: Turns out the law does protect contractors, so I guess it's circumstantial that employees get branded whistle blowers and contractors get charged as spies.
Trump is in campaign mode, he tried to get the Latino vote after Mexican president visit. His team understand that most SV and New York tech workers are not part of their voting base, but Snowden being an important figure in this area can help him win some votes. 88022
I don't think either is a superset/subset of the other -- the Venn circles overlap, but there are definitely leakers who are not whistleblowers. Like, leaking salacious celebrity gossip to a tabloid is not whistleblowing.
At least one good thing can come out of Trump's stupidity. It's absurd how badly they treated a whistle blower against the ilegal machinations of the NSA.

It was "common knowledge" in the right circles, but that's not enough for a court to find that you have standing to bring suit when the government gets to claim national security against discovery requests.

In fact the lawsuit around Room 641A fizzled because the accuser didn't 'really know' what was happening in the NSA room that had split off copies of backbone fiber trunks running into it and the government didn't have to provide an explanation. So unable to prove standing.

Snowden's revelations lead to actual case law saying that quite a few of the actions of the NSA were unconstitutional, given actual documentation from the government describing their actions.
Plenty of devices have little bins you fill, some then automatically open those bins on the correct days.

However, pills are of wildly different shapes and sizes, which invalidates most of the seemingly obvious sorting solutions. Prescriptions can also call for multiple pills in the same day.
You're right on everything except for the trade deals. He did in fact deliver several major trade deals in the first three years.

That includes replacing NAFTA with a modestly upgraded USMCA. He got China to sign a deal that very aggressively favors the US (maybe they won't stick to it of course; which would imply they may never stick to any consequential trade deal). Along with the new trade deals with Japan and South Korea. The only major trade deal remaining is with the EU (and then Britain whenever they're ready to do so, likely after the virus is brought under control).

This single issue is not worth overlooking the rest of Trump and the GOP.
I see it like learning a build system: ultimately a pointless piece of trivia that isn't very interesting or worthwhile. This is in contrast to math or CS, which is generalizable and timeless.

But you're right, we should all understand this stuff. And if it wasn't for that one magic coworker (you're really taking one for the team), I probably would.
