As someone who's pretty skeptic of US/west foreign policy, I see little difference, but still a difference.

And I do believe the authoritarianism it's a kind of protectionism, a strategy that allows them to grow economically and politically while defending from foreign intervention, and find likely that they will reduce the authoritarian policy to US levels if they achieve the kind of hegemony that US has... But I might be wrong. So there's real danger.
"stability" strikes me as the wrong word there; maybe "resilience" or "flexibility"?
Not if you just buy credits in advance for an account.
Ironically, it's way more difficult to harden OS X compared to hardening W10, due to the lack of community. Although OS X is more secure by default, there are pretty glaring security holes that aren't easy to fix without tools.
Hey, thx for your comment.

We do not do this things at the moment. Though, it is in our roadmap.

The excerpt is too small to fully articulate a complete point about ethics, but I agree with the small ideas: We have no idea what we're doing, we aren't good at thinking for ourselves and demanding ethical behavior from our employers, and we don't take the effects of our actions in the world very seriously.

Frankly I’d be more than fine if Sigma did not spend effort on adding another mount (M lenses, EF lenses can be adapted to L) and instead focused on their full-frame Foveon body or came up with something else crazy and uncompromising. I love to bits their maverick approach.

"‘It was great’: In leaked audio, Trump hailed low Black turnout in 2016": https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/21/trump-black-voters-...
Can I assume that you didn't read the article?
Tried to connect with Juice SSH on mobile and it looked quite ... abstract.
46. During the meeting, RIS 5 and RIS 6 instructed DEBBINS not to take a polygraph and offered to give him training on how to deceive polygraphs. They further encouraged DEBBINS to continue pursuing a career in the Special Forces.

Certainly not the message the article intends to convey, but looks like polygraphs work, unless you were trained to defeat them. Enough of an obstacle for Russian handlers to ask their agent avoid it.
It talks about a V-8 engine and an electric generator. Is “electric generator” a different way of saying “nuclear reactor”?

Yeah Arch mirrors in particular seem all over the place on quality. In true Arch spirit you def want to configure that yourself
I get the joke but you don't send Amazon money, you just tell someone else (after multiple third-parties and fees) to let them take some of the money you store with them.

It's not at all like handing someone some cash, I never "signed up" to my local grocery store and I don't need to login to make a purchase, I can just hand them some cash.
No. But I can assume that you weren't paying attention back when all this happened rather than this rewrite of history. Also, did you even read the article? It literally follows the thread I laid out but then tries to justify itself.

ie, "Around this time, Mozilla started paying serious attention to Chrome."

>>Verbal repetition requires greater process coordination by the attacker. Cues such as hesitation, discomfort, etc., may also be present.

Actually no... The most effective Social Engineering attacks are ones with simulated chaos going on in the call, and simulated high emotions by the caller..

There is no evidence or actual theory making a person repeat the same number over and over again does anything about annoy legit callers

This sounds very much like security policy created in the same manner of "everyone must change their passwords every 30 days" which we know now makes things LESS secure not more.

Again your data input validation should be taking care of that before you ever reach the agent in the first place
It's funny, I've been sucked into factorio after the 1.0 release announcement and this really rings true.

If you make a production line that has perfect throughput with no buffers then you get fantastic efficiency and productivity right up until a single train hits a biter and is delayed by 30s.

Then you spend 3 hours trying to deal with every machine being out of sync with every other machine with constant start/stops :(
Belatedly to add - look into the eshell-visual-* lists, to configure commands, subcommands (like "git log"), and I think some other traits, such that matching commands get their own ansi-term buffer.

It’s good to hear that Android supports this as well now, but I think you understate the difference in when these features arrived. From a quick search, the location example was fixed in iOS 8 in 2014 [1], and in Android 10 in 2019 [2], putting Apple 5 years ahead of Google on privacy features. Based on the list of privacy features being introduced in iOS 14, my impression is that this is still the case?

Please, stop using HTTP and JSON as a transport. I can't take any project seriously that thinks this is a good combination.

It's not that I chose to ignore you. I just didn't find your comment interesting from the statistical perspective.
> Giving something like a 95-98% chance to Hillary was arguably a fundamental failure.

Was it? What's the likely hood that someone who was polling as well as Clinton losing? 15% like The Upshot at the NY Times had? ~7% like with Sam Wang's model? Even 7% is around 1 in 14, not something shockingly improbable.

People often act like Silver's prediction was good because it gave Trump a higher probability of winning than many of the others, but that's not how probability works. If you say there's a 1/6 chance of rolling a die and getting a 2, and I say there's a 5/6 chance of rolling a 2, and we roll and get a 2, that doesn't mean that I'm correct. I don't think we've had enough rolls of elections resembling 2016 to really have a good grasp of where the percentages should be.

In general I question the value of assigning probabilities to election outcomes. This is especially true when you look at the probabilities a few months earlier - for instance, 538 had Clinton going from 49.9% on July 30, 2016 to 88.1% on October 18, 2016. Look at the probabilities they gave during the recent Democratic primaries, and they're also very bouncy. These probabilities lead people to believe that there's a much better understanding of the state of the race than what actually exists, to the point where I'd argue it edges up against pseudoscience.
I don't understand, is Cloudflare hosting their own mirrors or what?
I'm similarly unable to understand how this video shows Gears 5 isn't "brutal, grounded and satisfying".

It really seems like the same phenomenon I experienced with the latest first generation Pokemon remake. It has more resources, immersion, and engagement than the original releases in 1996 by any objective standard - but it feels less engaging, in some nonspecific way I've never been able to communicate to anyone didn't play the originals.

Yuck. I don't know how to categorize this kind of writing, exactly, but I recognize it when I see it.

It's "intersectionalist," fixated on race, anti-capitalist, and written in a way that is very hard to understand. I'm not sure if that's done intentionally, or if it's actually easy to read for those with the proper training in modern-academic quasi-Marxist thought.

It takes pride in being a little bit sloppy and not following the rules of grammar and writing.

Maybe the right thing to call it is "critical theory?" Genuinely not sure, but that's probably about right.
sponge buffers the whole input before writing the output. Its utility would be in reading from a file, working on it with other tools, and writing the result back to the original file, all in one line.
actually, it kind of does.
Technically, watching TV is a waste of time as well. But watching the latest show, i.e. Game of thrones, office, etc. Is not considered a waste of time, society almost sees it as a requirement.
Fintech Meets Foreign Policy (Maduro, Guaido, Airtm)
www.airtm.com (crypto & bank connected USD e-wallet and P2P forex marketplace) being used by Venezuela government in exile (Guaido) recognized by US as legitimate to distribute funds seized from Maduro regime to health workers on the frontlines fighting COVID in Venezuela.
I seriously hate this package and the manner of combining different utils with different names in a same package in general. The reason being, "sponge" is an actually useful tool and for me it's pretty much the only useful tool in the package. So I need to install whole moreutils package on ubuntu to have "sponge" and I have to clog my bin namespace with all this trash. It would be mildly annoying from the perfectionist point of view, but ok. But there is also "parallel" command in this package, which is trash as well. Meanwhile GNU "parallel" is not trash, but an actually useful program, maybe more useful than "sponge", and it comes in a separate package. So I either have to do some tinkering, or I have to choose which one I need more: "sponge" or "parallel" and install only one package. It's year 2020. This is stupid.

This is by the way the reason why GraphicsMagick is better than ImageMagick (I still use the latter, though, because it doesn't cause the same problems for me as moreutils does, and it's just more popular than GM).

You are using this argument in a thread about whether Candy Crush is a "video game". Not whether it is, shooter, RPG or racing game. Nor whether playing on subway counts as e-sports.

The problem here is that the breakdown is completely arbitrary based on "how much I feel related to people who play it". It is not based on hours played, someone who plays on console less of time can count. It is not by effort spent, someone who plays repetitive grinding games on console still counts. It is not even per who self-identifies as gamer, that is not question in the thread at all. The thread is all about whether candy crush counts as game or videogame.

"250 million adult Americans cook" is perfectly valid thing to write in a report, even of those people don't do special French receipts.

So really, what it is about is that some self-identified gamers take offense on the idea that games which target different demographics can be talked about as a games. And while there are many cultural/emotional things that make it so, it still seem impossible to come up with reasonable definition that excludes candy crush. Candy crush is an insult to most gamers despite majority of them not knowing next thing about that game, except that it was huge success among people they, frankly, find inferior.
See https://github.com/dtolnay/cxx/issues/1 for some of this debate.
Unrelated to the actual substance of the writing, I was completely mystified by this passage:

> In truth, solarpunk is functional AF. The primary colors of its aura are red, orange, and yellow: Courageously compassionate, creatively scientific, and awakened interdependence. In many ways, it can be more rigorous than so-called “hard science fiction.” Don’t @ the messenger;

I know science fiction is often shortened to SF but I don't know what AF is. The aura bit is completely baffling to me and seems like a non-sequitur, and the last sentence has a @ that I thought was a typo but I'm guessing maybe it wasn't.

I feel like I'm not the intended audience here, despite enjoying science fiction.
I believe there was a much clearer more charitable reading of the above than assuming the person posting doesn't understand the difference between a political party and a Supreme Court.

There was a action. That action was a effective repeal of the voting rights act. The Supreme Court performed that action.

A political party responded to that act by rolling back voting rights.

I ran rankmirrors (from pacman-contrib) on the mirror and the 5 upstream i got on https://cloudflaremirrors.com/archlinux

The results vary a lot sometimes cloudflare mirrors is the fastest, sometimes it's the slowest. Getting anything between 0.07 and 0.30

At least on Arch Linux you can specify multiple servers, ensuring you don't depend on a single one.
We use HTTP+JSON as the baseline default transport because it’s so ubiquitous and well understood. Anyone who’s ever touched a browser or curl knows how to use it.

However, Matrix isn’t tied to any single transport - you are encouraged to use more efficient or exotic ones, eg https://matrix.org/blog/2019/03/12/breaking-the-100-bps-barr...
> very limited space--if any--for exploration, decision-making, flexibility or creativity

If that's your criteria, then I really think the last 10-15 years of gaming has seen more of that than the earlier decades. Minecraft, Kerball Space Program, Factorio, Subnautica, Stardew Valley and many more have become mega-hits even if they didn't originate in the mainstream. Their influence on the mainstream games (Fortnite) is undeniable and has forced gaming in better directions, particular towards exploration and creativity. I was a kid in 2000 as well and if you had shown me Minecraft then, I would have been head-over-heels. Sure, there's still on-rails shooters if you want them and a lot of games are "open world" ala Far Cry 3's map-of-checkboxes-to-tick and not "open world" ala Minecraft. But gaming as a whole gives way more options (even just among best-sellers) for creativity, expression, and exploration than ever before. We're in a golden age for the medium right now and if I could experience that through the same eyes I had growing up, I'd be awed.

That part about iOS is confused. The focus on activation is weirdly myopic. If Apple wants to track your identity, location, and activities and send it to the Chinese government, they are going to be able to do that with or without that specific activation mechanism. They can do this in iOS or in macOS.

The fear of the potential iOS-ification of macOS due to the use of Apple silicon in macs also has some logic holes. Apple can iOS-ify macOS with or without Apple silicon, and vice-versa. This is conflating hardware with the software it runs.
