Thank you for this.

He exposed clearly illegal activity and framing him as a leader changes the narrative.

He is a whistleblower who upheld his oath to protect the constitution of the US, in the face of severe consequences.
Title IX is not simply an attitude though. There was a “Dear Colleague” letter from the DOJ sent to all colleges some years ago setting out guidelines for colleges to follow in enforcing Title IX.

The implicit threat was they would be sued by the DOJ if they didn’t put those procedures in place. Yes, the law as passed by Congress is a single sentence, but the law as enforced by courts includes not only that sentence but also rules and regulations put forth by unelected government agencies. https://www2.ed.gov/print/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/col...

Those rules in the “Dear Colleague” letter have just been replaced by the DOJ with a new regulation promulgated under the Administrative Procedure Act, which also has the force of law despite greatly expanding on the single sentence of law passed by congress in Title IX.

Probably for this: "we skew white, male, and affluent. Those, as he sees it, are his people."

That appears to be an accusation of racism, sexism, and classism. He was in the public eye for decades, but didn't get those sorts of accusations until he dared to become involved in presidential politics.

The evidence points the other way. Just a few items, one for each accusation: He used to have a black girlfriend. He frequently put women in positions of power in his organization, and his campaign was the first successful one with a female campaign manager. When taking his wife out to eat at a fancy place, his own meal would be Diet Coke and a well-done burger with ketchup.

Fair judging standards should apply. The comment you made is clearly more applicable to the alternative: https://joebiden.info/

Someone used wrong command-line switch, and the merge commit was made in wrong way, destroying changes made in other branch. Then feature branch was deleted I think.

I don't know or care who did that or what was the command-line switch, the point is, the thing is too fragile.
People aren't perfect, they make mistakes. Good interfaces are designed in a specific way, to reduce the probability and consequences of these mistakes. In some areas like flight control I think there're even laws about that.

Well, maybe, maybe not.

At least, it incentivizes Amazon to chase the culprits. The question is whether that incentive is big enough for them to fix / improve things.
I often wonder metabolic switching between e.g. fat vs carbs as energy sources would be a good way to force cells to perform some acrobatics and die if they have a distribution of mutations that make them metabolically inflexible. Might be easy to test in a lab with radiation and different feeding cycles for cells/mice, look for rates of cancer development. May be negligible, hard to say.
Yeah, the forum political expert analyst is such a boring trope.

"So, pol nerd here!" —whoa, quite the credentials! It's just altogether offputting and exactly the thing we need less in discourse. We're all just guessing, so it goes a long way to admit that you realize that instead of sounding like the kind of person who thinks you're a "pol nerd" with their finger on the pulse because you do whatever you think you do that makes you an authority on the matter, like read Twitter.

A strict, short lockdown is far preferable to the five months so far of half assed containment that has failed to even reduce cases relative to the beginning of lockdown.

To make this work, there must be enforcement. From my observations, most spread is coming from people not following guidelines.
Cinematic portrayals can color our mental images. My mental image of Cleopatra is Elizabeth Taylor, as ahistorical as that might be. The oddest along these lines in my head is that I always picture J. D. Salinger as James Earl Jones, thanks to Jones playing a character in Field of Dreams who, in the novel, was Salinger.

> meaning of “non-interpreted”

Literally. Not being interpreted to support or confirm a current theory.

The abstract system of two clocks and an observer is just nonsense, since the first time it was introduced by Einstein. Abstractions put together to form another abstraction with supposed properties.

Any two clocks, bring man-made devices to support an abstraction of the mind, are completely unrelated instead of measuring the same phenomena.

Time dilation is just an error of measurement and of confirmation bias.

I am still looking for an actual experiment and at least one real process.
Yes ... Yes .. But meanwhile djt confers distinction for gratuitous and wanton blabbering on about what he could do, will do, can do under the law etc.. His talk is 1000x worse that what the average DC politician gas bags on about.
Any politician would. That's what they do.
Assange only fits the caricature of the description, but that's for another thread.

In brief though, he can not be a traitor because he is not American and never worked for the American government. The most traitorous party in the Assange case was probably Manning, who had his sentence commuted by Obama which was then lauded.
I've used this library on a few occasions on personal projects, and once the necessary system deps are installed (just a few apt-get commands that are well-documented), it's worked pretty flawlessly. Fairly low boilerplate, good examples--I haven't had any regrets on deciding to use it.
What the NSA is doing is wrong and edward should be pardoned, but he has said himself he is fine with a fair trial in court (fair is the key word here). So even if you are undecided on the pardoning you have to agree he should be given trial in the US unless for some weird reason you love the NSA that much.
But time dilation at 8% of light speed is less than half a percent. The so-called "blogspam" has that part much more right: "At eight percent lightspeed, the time dilation effect for S62 just barely becomes noticeable"

So where did they get '100 minutes'?

I'm not sure what affect the black hole itself would have, maybe that makes a difference?
Originally ß was just a ligature for ss (ſs) but it since developed its own meaning. ß indicates that the preceding vowel is long. Busse and Buße are pronounced differently and mean different things. The conversion ß -> ss destroys information that was present in the original orthography.

Hah, thank you for summarizing this so well. I never really connected the dots on “visible” = “can be observed”.
it isn't really considered a skills, it is kind of in the air surrounding you. For example i didn't take nor toothpaste nor toothbrush - it isn't an omission nor i'm anti-hygienic - instead i used small fir sticks to chew and to pick between and clean the teeth - the resin has mild anti-microbial properties and have that nice smell. Such possibility was mentioned to me once by a friend, one of the strongest mathematicians in our year, a city dweller, when we were taking a walk around campus (if memory serves me right it was in the context of discussing such a practice in some region(s) in India where a local plant is used for that purpose ).

It is somewhat puzzling and sad that despite large territory and amazingly rich Nature, there is such a profound separation from Nature in US. Almost all the land is private, and even if not it is still mostly fenced with limited access and permits for everything (and naturally the very few available places are overcrowded because of such a [pretty artificial] scarcity). Limited access to land also naturally affects access to water bodies. You can't just come to a body of water and say go for swim if water is clean, like you'd do say in Russia. From US land rights system POV even the Nordic private property system with "right to roam" looks like communism :)
> eBay does not actually touch the funds.

They do now. They are in the middle of moving most of their sellers to a program called Managed Payments. eBay handles the payment processing through the program. Sellers do not receive money via paypal, but their own bank accounts. eBay batches the proceeds of the sales and ACHs the money daily M-F.

The transition is ongoing, but the goal is all sellers with stores will move to it eventually.

https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/service-and-payments/ma...
Quite possibly, but this would be easily detectable after the fact as standard mail-in voting practices provide end-to-end tracking of the ballot. Most election security measures, including ballot stuffing in most systems, are really only detected after the fact.
Physical stores should do this too. Gets rid of the liability for what you sell.
It's worth noting that classical statuary was typically painted and not left as blank white marble (the practice has persisted in some Catholic statuary). I doubt that any remaining pigment on statues (which might be recoverable through microscopy) was incorporated into the models for creating these images, but it would have been cool had it been.

For more on the painting of ancient statues, see, e.g., https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/29/the-myth-of-wh...
If I remember correctly horse hide keeps the fleas away. Remember that from a book I read on the Mongols.
I left Dyalog in June and have since been taking a break from employment to work on BQN roughly full time. Eventually I'll get another job, but I hope to keep working on BQN and won't seek to commercialize it.

I hope to have BQN running directly on at least Wasm and x86 eventually. Currently I'm focusing on the self-hosted parts of the implementation, so the VM is written in whatever's convenient, portable, and fast. Because the VM is very small it's easy to port between languages—the Go port I did in about three days without knowing any Go beforehand. But manual memory management adds a lot of difficulty, particularly because closures can form reference loops and have to be garbage collected. I'd rather stay in a memory-managed environment for as long as I can to work on the unknown aspects of BQN before attacking the known but hard memory management problems, and when I make that jump I might skip directly to assembly/machine code because I have more control that way.
Interesting that Nero and Caligula resemble, more than anything else, frat boys.
I'm not a lawyer but I can only imagine it's quite tricky when the Foundation is a tax-exempt charity and the funds in question are being used to the primary benefit of a for-profit entity which it owns. It would be a bit like having your cake and eating it too, in terms of the legal provisions of the tax code.
ALAC (Apple Lossless) was specifically designed to be power efficient, hence its use in AirPlay.

Interestingly one of the most power efficient lossy codecs is still ATRAC, Sony's MiniDisc codec, specifically designed to sip lightly at your AA batteries.

Observable distortion of trajectories of photons by a massive body does not involve any time.

"My hair is purple."

"No it's not, I'm looking at you and I can clearly see it's brown. Unless you've dyed it for the entire time I've known you it's a natural brown."

"You can't assign hair colors based on physical characteristics like that! What is the 'correct' hair color for someone born without hair, or someone with hair heterochromia? Even though I do not belong to any of these tiny genetic minorities, the fact that these categories do not neatly apply to them must mean they are totally meaningless and I can assign whatever hair color I want to myself."

Sure, but the problem of storing messages indefinitely isn't from the protocol, it's from the client. The client may need to verify if it's actually seen a message before and keep a local index of them; it may need to double check the message still is what it expects before it tries to delete it; it needs to present you with options on how to handle message deletion; etc.

POP3 is actually less reliable at keeping messages indefinitely than IMAPv4 is, due to limitations of the protocol. Some clients have defaults which simply delete the remote copy after download (or reading, which is different), but again that's not the protocol's fault.
Seems there are many variations on this joke.

The one I know:

An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician go for a walk in the countryside. They spy a black sheep in the distance.

The astronomer immediately proclaims, "All sheep are black!"

The physicist thinks for a moment and suggests, "Some sheep are black."

The mathematician ponders awhile and says, "There exists a sheep such that at minimum one of its sides is black."
In all fairness its by no means over yet.
Git is a little bit different. It is a really good implementation of the 'history is immutable' philosophy of programming.

Learning the implementation details and reading the mystifying documentation to learn what something is called can be a bit wasteful but understanding the git model is very worthwhile. It is interesting to see how it handles the pragmatic issues of fixing the situation up when the history becomes snarled.

Learning git will make some not insignificant number of people better at concurrent programming. Most build systems don't do that..
I'd love to read a write up of your current setup outlined above, it sounds intriguing.
I agree with you in principle, but how can you have an apolitical discussion on a topic that is fundamentally and inseparably political? It's a conversation on treason, presidential decisions, exile, intelligence organisations... It's always been political. Hypothetically the president might want to pardon Snowden and then change his mind when he is in the country, then yes I'd like to discuss his motivations. And people have been burned by this man before so I can't blame their biases.
These are clocks with an extremely consistent speed, varying less than one part per trillion.

That speed varies by altitude in a very consistent way, and all the GPS satellites are showing the same clock skew of half a part per billion.

How is that measurement error or confirmation bias?

You could buy two atomic clocks yourself and watch how they differ based on altitude. They're definitely not "completely unrelated".

Opus is used by basically every company with an integrated product that they control, who doesn't own patents for inferior formats. That includes basically ~all VoIP software, games, YouTube on Chrome and other supporting browsers, messaging apps with audio features, etc. Basically anyone whose main business isn't audio. Because it's the best codec and it's free. It's be dumb not to use it. And if you control your entire product, you can just add support and use it without worrying about compatibility.

Unfortunately, the companies whose business is audio invariably have some sort of relationship with patented, shittier formats like AAC or even more obscure stuff that only exists to collect royalties like aptX, so they aren't going to market Opus to you as a consumer of audio formats or a feature in audio related products, nor promote support and compatibility across devices. And so you pay more, and get an inferior product :-)

> Does anyone think the Rocky Balboa statue looks like Stallone?

(This is the only one of those I've seen in person.)

I do actually. It's obviously not a perfect laser scan of his head, but I think it's quite clearly a depiction of the man, including the characteristic harsh lopsided nature of his face (which apparently is the result of nerve damage he sustained during birth.) That aspect of the statue is perhaps underplayed a bit, maybe out of respect, but I do think it's at least a recognizable reasonable depiction of him.
If they are buying the perpetual license and hiring the ARM expertise anyway, why not just get the company, which also includes giving nVidia majority control of the ARM roadmap as well.

You get the people who literally wrote the book on modern ARM, you get all the IP which builds up the patent chest (improving chances of counter-suit and cross-licensing in the event of patent infringement issues), you don't need to pay for the license, and you know you aren't going to get fucked by roadmap or licensing changes in future. And your competitors literally end up paying you for privilege of competing against you.

Not saying it's right, but there's certainly multiple arguments for it.
you misunderstand. I was saying that a special exception should be made for meshnets and only meshnets, and for no other application on the ham bands.
