I find it fascinating how kids, without being told, eventually realize that Santa Clause isn't real. Is it because they never get to see him? "Mall Santas" are a common thing all over the world, so I don't think it can be that.
> As an Aspie, (almost) every neurotypical person seems to be a patological liar, not able to make a small talk without committing a few lies.

Having a degree both in mathematics and computer science makes me have an often unerring eye for both potential hidden bugs in code and lies that people tell all the time. So, I can share your sentiment.

I often think: How can people become good at math and/or programming, where they have to learn to become very precise and truthful, if they are surrounded by (also "white") lies all the time. Yes, I particularly have all those politicians in mind who, on one hand, claim how important STEM skills are, and, on the other hand, lie all the time.
Is there an option to call an election void if no candidate gets enough votes? Have to rerun a special election, and maybe get a solid percent for a writein who actually has a different plan?

Security is an important issue to them so they feel they need physical direct control of the hardware and don't want it located somewhere else.

Also some of the equipment is old and may not survive being transported.

I remember them saying taht alignment and endian issues can only be found when compiling and running on the actual hardware. Cross compile to a different arch and emulators don't catch the same bugs.
I had one who would tell outrageous lies, growing from simple comments. It was ludicrous. "This window is a long way up" I'd say.

"Some animals can make that jump" he'd come out with. "Kangaroos can do it."

"No, I don't think they could. It's too far up?"

"Sure they can. I saw one do it! You calling me a liar?"

It was exhausting, the nonsense he'd spout. The first time I'd encountered such an obvious prevaricator. I wondered how he functioned.
When I did the 10 day I found it interesting that on the tapes Goenka told stories about how he interacted with people and gave them detailed advice during their sessions with him. But the retreats that are run in his name are totally cookie cutter and you get no individual advice other than basically just to keep going.

When I lived in Maryland I attended classes with Tibetan teachers for a few years and they always pointed out that you need guidance through the tough spots or either your meditation effort is often wasted or even harmful.

I guess us Westerners have a tendency to simplify everything to make it easier to sell. Sometimes it works but often it gets simplified too much as it happened with yoga (our "yoga" is basically just a milder form of aerobics without any depth) or now with mindfulness. There is some benefit but we completely miss the big point.
Does this mean GPUs might become less relevant in the future if CPUs can perform similar tasks at same speed?

You could use it to just "deploy software anywhere", and that's a neat idea, but it's not 'web' assembly, there's no protections thst make it fit to run arbitrary code from the web.

Manhattan renter here. NYC's slowly coming back alive. Hoping the commercial rents on storefronts go down a bit and we see some more novel shops open and some of the chain banks and fast food joints disappear.

Also, you can... pretty much, walk around town with a "to go" beer now which is really nice. It reminds me of Europe and taking a nice long walk, and then grabbing a bevvy is a nice change of pace from sitting at a bar in the before times.

A lot of stuff is still really empty, bike traffic is booming, the subways are surprisingly enjoyable to ride on due to the decreased numbers, and the beach is fantastic.

I don't have too many worries about the recovery here. Especially since the populace seems pretty good about masks. Hoping my rent drops a bit though!

Other things that I hope remain post COVID are some of the streets being closed off to traffic with lots of tables in the roads.

At the community board meetings they're already discussing whether or not they'll take a lot of the office space around me and end up converting it to residential. I think it's a bit premature for that but the city seems ready to adapt and thrive.
No, what's "odd" is the tu quoque style arguments that come up any time even the mildest criticism of China comes up. As if any other country being bad excuses China's bad behavior, or is reason to not point out China's bad behavior.

> If you go the handcrafted, lightweight and fast route, you're sacrificing a lot of features, possibly without even being aware of what you lose until it's too late.

The notion that an engineer signing on to make high-performance software in 2020 doesn't know what they're "sacrificing" is a little unreasonable. Conversely, it seems unlikely most people developing the kind of software you're advocating for understand the tradeoffs they've made at all.

This is all simply about where engineers start off today, and how woefully uninterested they often are in expanding their horizons, and how uninterested they tend to be in studying the history of their discipline.
> If you consider a post-covid world 5 years from now, do you think that SF with its museums, bars, restaurants, and proximity to nature will be an unattractive place to live?

As long as the city & county and state governments are as bad as they are, yes. San Francisco was easily the most disgusting American city I have ever been to. It somehow has managed to land in an anti-sweet spot of repressive laws aimed at the middle classes, while not enforcing any laws against the mentally ill who do things like defecate in public, urinate on the floors of even nice bars, accost one on the street and so forth.

San Francisco needs someone to do for it what Hercules did for the Augean stables.

The suburban area was much nicer, but still hellaciously expensive, way out of proportion to the quality of life. There's a reason why people are fleeing California in general, and San Francisco in particular.
If you are feeling more fully, through removing your mental blocks, then the fear is going to increase. That is necessary for it to pass through and eventually go away.

There's a world of difference between "a fun myth we share with our children that we drop as soon as they outgrow it" and "a blatant lie," and that context is also important for kids to learn.
I'm not good at multi-tasking and this would increase the likelihood of breaking my limited windows where I reach a high-productivity state.
It's a good example of the Tragedy of the Commons. We mostly solved that problem on land, and even ended up with industrial farming by allowing people to own pieces of land to run their own farming operations.

Would be nice to be able to replace off-shore oil rigs with off-shore fishing farms that sell the produce directly to retail markets. Might even be able to run aquatic "farm to table" restaurants!
> Are they NOT supposed to report credible threats of violence or terrorism?

Absolutely and the title should make it clear that is what is happening here. If this is the case then data was not shared because user was far-right, it was shared because the user's comments appear to be incitement and not protected by the first amendment[1].

This, ironically, would be lying to your kids.
There are very few (if any) pathological truth-tellers and you are likely not one of them. Any health adult would intentionally lies in certain situations and would be considered foolish/dumb if they didn't.

Your kids will inevitably catch you lying and their understanding of "lying is bad" would become "lying is bad if you get caught" and "You're allowed to be outraged when catching others' lies".

Teaching your kids how and when to lie, now that's a very tricky thing that I don't have a grip on.
Also, swapping the modem chip would (well, should) be a permitted use, as the IMEI is meant to be bound to the modem. When a separate modem module is used, the modem is the communication device, not the phone.

The pinephone is more similar to a laptop with an optional LTE module rather than an integrated setup like an smartphone where the CPU contains the baseband. It's not illegal to swap out modem cards in a laptop anywhere AFAIK.

"The study found the pathological liars were more likely to experience distress and impaired functioning, especially in social relationships."

I am quite interested in the behavior of Trump. As far as we know he tells a lot of lies but it seems the above quote does not apply to him.

Could it be that distress and impaired functioning only apply to people who are able to experience negative consequences of their lies?

Meaning two things:

* There are negative consequences, so they experience them.

* They see the consequences as negative.
I type at a little more than 70 WPM, but even when writing this comment, I'm writing far below that as I'm trying to gather my thoughts, as well as editing as I'm going along.

Now, when I sit down to write a page for my thesis, I'm faaarrr below the that 70 WPM, since those thought are even harder to sort in my mind.

False dichotomy? I think, as a technologist you'd agree we could do better than Gmail?

> The claim is that Google does a much better job of protecting and securing your private information

I concur, though (imo), it is a folly to assume Google would continue to uphold highest data-handling standards or could even keep all of the data secure despite employing world-class cryptographers and security researchers. [0] They may be better than most but their enormous cache is both a liability and a disaster waiting to happen.

If such laws mean they collect less data because they cannot stomach sharing it (nevermind whether for privacy or business reasons), that is a win? I think, we'd find out they don't care about privacy after all... just their bottom line.

If you're disclosing it to the vendor, then you're probably cooperating with them and are going to give them 90 days to fix it. If they don't fix it within that time, anonymously publish it a month or two after. That gives a total time of around 4-6 months between you discovering it and the "anonymous researcher" on exploithub "independently" discovering it.

Well, ranch perhaps not in the same context, but arugula on pizza is definitely a thing that fits SF quite well, and the unk pledges let seem to refer to arugula as (expensive, hipster-favored) “lettuce”, despite the fact that it's not at all lettuce.

We have a 12 year-old with ADHD, and I suspect he's a pathological liar; we call him out on it all the time, but even then, when we ask him a question - even innocuous things like "have you had breakfast" if he's up before we are - his first instinct / default is to answer with what he thinks we want to hear. He knows he doesn't get away with it in most cases.

I suspect there's two factors at play; one that he sometimes gets away with it, where we can't be bothered to double check, and second that he may get a little 'thrill' from lying and getting away with it, moreso than the adverse reaction from being called out on it. Mind you, that said, negative attention is also attention, so subconsciously for him it's likely a win-win.

Anyway, it's still annoying. It's not (yet) serious things, just mainly some responsibility dodging behaviour.

You and the parent post both sum up my feelings better than I can. We Aussies are being used as meat in the grinder between two companies that are each pretty awful in their own ways. I struggle to feel bad for either of them, really.

Probably the most depressing of all of this is how the ACCC - what has always been a very closely treasured and respected independent government body - has been used here as a pawn by the government-media oligarchy. It really soils all the really good work they've done to give us very robust and fair consumer laws and protections we enjoy. They've been used as the shitkickers for what is obviously a Murdoch-driven government play, where (not unlike the Five Eyes playbook) he hopes to ram through some draconian bullshit here as a proving ground, to which he can later point in the UK and US for similar laws there.

One of the best decisions I ever made was adding Newscorp's bullshit to my ad blocker so accidentally clicking URLs to it fails to load. One of the other best was disconecting myself from Google as much as I have.
A bot is something that looks like a human or pretends to be one, but is actually a machine. That always was the meaning of it and nothing changed here. In a game a bot is software controlling the player-character and doing things, like a human player would do it. In web a bot is software visiting sites and scrapping them, like a human user would do with a browser. In social media a bot is software which creates and posts content and answers, like a human would do.

But, as everything is virtual, you have no direct way to proof whether some virtual actor is human or software. Only the quality of their actions can give you hints on it. So people go around accusing people left and right if their arguyments are to much following the protocol, and don't show signs of self-thinking by their understanding.

This on this other side has an additional meaning in form of human bots. A bot technically does not nead to be all virtual and digital, it could be also a meatbag with wetware following a guidebook, just acting out pre-definend routes. You see this usually in companies, call-centers and propaganda-jobs.

This is BTW a funny roundtrip, as the original meaning of robot was coinend for humans who do braindead labor, just following the rules, not thinking on their own. It just later moved to machines.

More efficient than single-phase. In this case, it makes the inverter redundant, because the inverter's only purpose is to produce a 3-phase AC supply for the motor.

IBM does channel sales. They don’t want to maintain a sales force. They want to maintain channel partners and VARS.

Reminds me how it took me a pretty long time to understand that there are things people know to be true, but kind of wink-nudge pretend is otherwise.

For example gambling is illegal here in Japan. Yet there are pachinko games, where you get prizes, which you can later exchange for money. Everyone knows this is gambling, yet everyone pretends that it is not.

Now I wonder what else everyone knows to be true that I still haven't realized.

It takes more precision to lie and memorize who you lied to and about what and to not make conflicting statements around people whom you have told opposing versions of the truth than it does to tell the truth.

The time for Environment-Centered Design has come
So, the main result of designing a CPU is a series of masks that essentially indicate where to put what. For example, in this layer, inject boron anywhere the mask doesn't block. The masks aren't wafer sized- they are pretty small, and a machine moves the mask from position to position across the wafer to re-use it. But, at least when I was working on this, some masks would be larger than an individual square (die)- maybe the mask could do 2x2 at a time. In that case, maybe the application of the mask would get you one complete die, and three die off the edge.
Really cool! I have used it in my project.
AFAIK, a SIM card itself has a card id (ICCID), which should not be changed and is not used often. The subscriber id (IMSI) is in the "application" layer of the card and theoretically could be changed by the provider, or as a speciality, multiple ones installed.

That being said, I've never actually seen a card's IMSI changed. They usually give you a new sim and IMSI, even for a replacement card.
A pedantic point, buffer overflow protection and the GC are separate things. Buffer overflow protection is bounds checking, GC's are ensuring memory that is no longer in use is reclaimed. But the boundaries on the programs you mention, are more to do with the system not allowing these actions than the language.

Also, there are other ways to achieve memory safety for all but maybe a few cases without a GC. One being ref counted structures that have loops in the links. Another case, but it has work arounds, is postponing the cleanup until a later time. But C++ provides guarantees like, at scope end the destructors(finalizers) are run and the values are cleaned up. This allows for more than memory safety and can include other resources too. This is easier in greenfield projects where old idioms/C compatibility are more common.

To add to your point, high level abstractions allow for optimal code as it is more declarative. The low level constructs to make it fast are of no concern to the caller. And one can build upon this for new higher level abstractions.
