Yeah that's been my experience but since I've only been in 6-8 different groves I didn't want to generalize.

Sure, fallen needles make a good portion of the floor beneath, and they may be rot-resistant enough to resist decay for a while, but at some point they're going to breakdown.
You are right that the choice of inter-module communication technique does not have a bearing on the licensing unless the license explicit say so.

To be fair to FSF however, they have to my knowledge never actually said anything else. What they do say is that they will enforce the license at that distinction, a conclusion RMS arrived at many years ago when apple tried to make proprietary addons to GCC. The reasoning, as provided by a consulted lawyer Eben Moglen at the time, was that a judge would likely see it as creating a single derivative work out of the linked parts, and as such you need a copyright license. This story has been mention in a few talks because so far no one has yet to challenge FSF in court and prove it wrong, which is a fight that at least Eben Moglen have been all this years willing (and possible wanted) to take up if given the opportunity.

As a bright line in the sand the concept has served FSF well, but it is not a supreme court decision that defines what a derivative work is under software. It could be that the line should be drawn much more narrower, but personally my bet is the opposite. Courts are rarely on the side that want to abolish copyright control or limit its scope.
I'm not sure I agree. Everyone's situation in a PhD is different enough that the only general concepts you could teach would be high level and useless. Personal finance classes in high school are filled with junk like "make sure to spend less than you earn" and "here's how you balance a checkbook" and "never forget to pay your bills". For group work, the workshops I've taken for it talk about "listen before speaking", "repeat what the other person said so you are sure to understand it". Sure they're kind of useful, but mostly not.
My question is pure nuts and bolts.

A and B wake up one morning and want to trade MSFT. Both submit orders to "the market." You claim HFT somehow inserted itself into the middle of the transaction.

I'm asking if you can fill in the blanks on how this is possible.
It's Official: CDC no longer recommends asymptomatic testing for Covid-19
Others specifically mentioned Kobo as an alternative. I did a high level pass over the ecosystem before choosing them as an alternative to the Amazon monopoly, they seem somewhat equivalent to Chrome vs Firefox:

- supported formats, for the Linux issue: EPUB, EPUB3, PDF, MOBI, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, TXT, HTML, RTF, CBZ, CBR

- no native linux client: not a deal breaker for me

- is the company behind Kobo credible, will it be around for a while: yes, its owned by a credible company, 13.4% e-reader market share, probably shrinking

- could it be sold? Possibly: https://goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers/will-rakuten...

- is there an export path if they go under: its Adobe DRM, so assumably yes with their support

- does the store work?: Yes, the interface is reasonable if slow, I could find books on it and buy

- are prices comparable: no, Kindle is cheaper in some instances but there is a price match (I used it, it works)

- are the books I want on there: yes, ever one of the 5 or so books I looked at are listed on the store, newest version

- is the reader comparable to Kindle: yes, same settings I use on devices and laptop, fonts, brightness, clarity etc all comparable

One thing missing is 'X-Ray', which is neat but not essential technology Kindle has. Kobo has a book search that is ok, but not as good.
Bill Gates is also very, very heavily involved with defeating Malaria in Africa.

>if anyone was gonna do something it should probably be the British

Except the UK has much bigger issues ATM like dealing with the social, political and economical fallout of Brexit and Covid-19.

To put it mildly, even if they wanted to, it's tough for them to help put out a fire in a far away village when they have a huge dumpster fire in their own back yard to deal with first.
Lots of suggestions to place SSH behind other protocols or obfuscate the port number here. Let's be clear about one thing, OpenSSH is the least insecure service you are running. A lot of talented people have audited that code many times over. It may show its age but it is an order of magnitude simpler than SSL. Every pre-auth process is sandboxed.

Most breaches are caused by bad passwords. Use keys, or enforce good passwords, before doing anything else. That VPN might well be less secure, and port knocking is just an unusual authentication with a really short password.
What does 'rising' mean?
None of this can really be pinned on the use of passive voice. Attention is naturally drawn by the beginning of a sentence and to the end of it, and while the passive is a powerful tool for reordering sentences, its function is equally well served by verbs with the opposite alignment. There is nothing about "there were mistakes" or "mistakes happened" that attributes more agency to anyone than "mistakes were made", but only the last one is passive.

Rather, there is a rich history in English prescriptivism of misdiagnosing and blaming the passive for all ills.

Physical stuff exists to enable humans to live the lives we want to live. http://www.paulgraham.com/stuff.html

Stuff that is expensive to buy is also often expensive to transport. "Antiques" and the like may make sense in world in which people move very rarely and tend to occupy the same apartment for decades. They don't make any sense for people who live mobile lives and move frequently. As others have said, you want to own your stuff, not have your stuff own you.
I've set up MailChimp campaigns several times - traditional sales lists, transactional stuff, software update notifications - and never thought of using it as a hosted/linkable newsletter.

The "view this in your browser" link was always personalized for tracking, not semantic, IIRC. It did include the actual content of "Hello, {first name} {last name}!" tags, which obviously wouldn't work here for every unique reader.

How long does this stick around? As long as you have a MailChimp account?

I guess I assumed that the URL was unique per-user and would be deleted after 30 days, because the primary use case of Mailchimp seems to be not-quite-spam "We're having a sale!" bulk campaigns.
DevOps, DataOps, and MLOps: the three waves of operationalization
This post is very confused. If one entity generates the page and the ads, then they can already reasonably easily randomize URLs and circumvent ad blockers. Facebook does this. On the other hand, if one entity generates the page and another handles the ads (the typical situation where a publisher uses an ad network to put ads on their page) then web bundles don't do anything to resolve any of the coordination problems that make url randomization and ad blocker circumvention difficult.

I'm currently exploring using WebBundles to serve multiple ads in response to a single ad request, because it allows ads to be served more efficiently while keeping them secure and private, but ad blockers would still prevent the ad js from loading before the ad request was ever sent.

(Disclosure: I work on ads at Google)
> In the 1970's in the US it was possible to own a house and support a family of 4 on a single income in the manufacturing sector.

Modern expectations mean that this isn't what people think it is. You also owned one car per family in the '70s; new houses often have to build two parking spaces. Housing prices were held down because public housing was still being built; today it's unmaintained and often torn down. Old houses were built on small lots; suburbs today require a quarter-acre. Colleges received way more public funding as a proportion of their income than they do today, and enrollment was lower.

Housing has gone from subsidized to restricted and college has gone from subsidized to free-market while demand keeps rising. It's not surprising that the price increased. (And the protectionism lobby is now also the anti-housing lobby!)
Question Regarding Pl_MPEG
Did someone try it? Is it actually good?
Superblocks, and every node and leaf in every tree is checksummed. While it's possible to disable checksumming and copy-on-write for data, it's not possible for metadata (the fs itself).
Chrome’s PDF viewer launched in Dec 2010[1] with v8.0.552.

The release notes do note that a benefit of the built-in viewer is that it’s sandboxed. That’s fair enough, I guess — the Chrome team had a bee in their bonnet about plugins going all the way back to the Chrome launch comic[2].

Interestingly the Chrome team were using svn back then — that’s how long it’s been :-)

As a developer, you probably ought to just send a message to the server saying "I am throttled", and then later when the tab is reactivated send another message saying "I am unthrottled, please send me the current state of the game".

You shouldn't be expecting to queue up thousands of messages from potentially hours of the tab being backgrounded and handle them all when the tab is unbackgrounded. Nor should you process all the state changes as they come in even though the tab is backgrounded - no user wants to spend data/power/cpu/battery/heat on something like that.
Yes, I'm seeing the same to my non-standard port and the connection attempts are from a large number of different addresses (and only usually 1 or 2 attempts from each) that Fail2Ban does not trigger.
No no, those were all victims of circumstance. Western cultures are uniquely capable of moral reasoning and are therefore more culpable than everyone else. I think that's what pop culture is telling me...
You are absolutely right about Bitcoin (BTC) bureaucracy. It's hijacked coin by Blockstream company and all of this based only on censorship. I'm sorry, I'm not native speaker to describe all it here, but there is a good collection of materials about Bitcoin conspiracy, debates and controversy behind it:

They could maybe get rid of a bunch of unproductive employees, keep the pension funding at the same level, and bring on new productive employees.

It's no secret getting a job at USPS is for life. That should not be a thing for a supposed public "service" organization that's expected to not bleed money everywhere.

Maybe it would! But I'd prefer profile swapping become a first class Firefox UI citizen like it is in Chrome. Until then, visiting about:profiles is better than finagling with bash, at least for me.
If you have your copy of kindlegen, it will continue to work - it is a 32-bit statically linked binary, so as long as your kernel supports 32-bit processes and 32-bit ELF files, you are good to go.

That it is available for download changes nothing; it has not been updated for years anyway. The mac version was in worse shape, it was also 32-bit, so it didn't run on Catalina at all.

Only everything about the purchase flow that anyone reads or sees, or should reasonably be expected to read or see.

If amazon really wanted the customer to understand the fine-print, they could force that. They don't, so why should customers care?
Thanks, that's what I thought.
This is simply not true. Education, healthcare, and housing costs have far outpaced inflation.
Use an address with the domain of your paid email provider for site sign-ups. The email provider is going to have more to lose than you if control over the domain is lost.

Use a custom domain for person-to-person communications. This allows you to change email providers later without having to make sure all your contacts know you've changed your address, by just informing the sites you're signed up at.

The risk from losing your personal domain then is just someone impersonating you to your personal contacts (if they know them) or site users if you're hosting anything at that domain.
Yeah. For various article-context reasons I am concentrating on the blocking of "ads" here rather than on "malicious code". The latter is a much more complex problem to solve in the first place, though: like, it relies on a specific model of opponent that is also extremely dumb; amazingly, this opponent exists in the wild, but I swear it is only because people who go out of their way to block them with simple techniques are so rare as to not be worth investing into including in your un-targeted resource utilization attack. (And FWIW, the ad pages I run into that are maximally bad -- ones that abuse the browser using history state tricks, popping up notification boxes and printer dialogs, sometimes even managing to lock up the entire rendering engine on purpose in an attempt to get the user to agree to the terms of the scam -- all have URLs that are constantly being randomized so often that I have a hard time showing them to other people.)
I was in youth league hockey as carbon fiber sticks went from unheard of to ubiquitous. Carbon sticks failed in a spectacular way, but wood stills would also fail. They wouldn't break in two during a slapshot, but they would generally split along the bottom of the blade. If refs noticed it, you could get a penalty.

By the time my parents caved in and bought a wood stick, I was at the point of consuming one new stick nearly every time I was on the ice. At that point, the higher upfront cost ended up being worth it.
I'm outfitting my home with hardwood furniture. I think it's more durable, nicer, and with the right styles and finishes - aesthetic.

Depends on how often you have to move, and whether your stuff is easy to move or hard to move, and whether you're prevented from living where you really want to live by the things you own.

For most people, it appears that human relationships really matter and stuff exists to enable those relationships. If you are too busy caretaking your stuff, or choosing apartments based on what your stuff will fit into, you are degrading your relationships to care for your stuff.
That's what you should have QA pipeline ready to check before you'll be able to apply the config, right?

I show stuff like this to anti vaxxers and ask if there have ever been any vaccines they like.

They say that about cowpox and polio sanitation played a major role, etc. And that we don’t look at other variables.
I have seen a trend in UK PhDs in the last 10 years or so to include much more of the "practical skills" type work. There's certainly been a big push around the "Researcher Development Framework" [0].

I would say that there's no one-size fits all for a PhD, but that I think something PhD students need taught how to do early on is identify their own development needs, and either address them, or seek the support to do that.

It's important that we don't turn PhDs into a taught course though, since ultimately the goal is to learn to direct your own research project from fruition to results, as an independent researcher. There's also a growing number of "structured taught first-year" PhDs (that then last 4 years rather than 3, with the first year akin to a "professional masters" with qualification at the end of it)

EngD degrees are probably a bit more like the JD or MD (if you're doing engineering, that is), but I don't have much experience of that approach. It does seem to be more along the lines of what you highlight a need for though (the project planning, management, etc.)

Things are different, yes, but I'm not seeing any racism on the part of the school administration or school board.

You are in "a high income district". You were in "lower income minority school district". I don't know the racial situation in your current district, though I could probably guess right. It's realistic, though not very nice, to imply that "minority" is the opposite of "high income".

For the discipline difference, it's enough that there is an income difference. That explains everything. There is no need to mention race.

The high-income people, of any race, care about education and discipline. Getting a kid to behave is usually as simple as telling the parents.

The low-income people, on average, don't give a damn. Telling a parent about bad behavior will just generate a tirade of insults. Calling the police works, so that is done.

It's unfair to the low-income people who aren't terrible. Well, life isn't fair. The group you associate with will determine how you are treated.
American Airlines to cut 19,000 jobs when federal aid expires in October
Right, gotcha: the market needs intermediaries to function properly.
> you guys understand that Hong Kong has and always been part of China, correct? UK gave back a land that wasn't their to keep.

PRC signed an agreement with the UK that set out the legal parameters for this transfer of sovereignty, and PRC is contradicting that agreement with their actions. While it may not legally be the UK's to keep, it was not China's to take in this respect either.

> What can any Western country or US president can do? Do you declare a war with a country over a piece of land that is rightfully their?

Well, in the mean time, the U.S. has terminated the special status of Hong Kong which allowed it to serve as the conduit between the civilized world and a country with essentially no rules that regularly outweigh pure class/political privilege.

The English legal system and liberal order that the UK imposed on Hong Kong was in large part what made them so dazzlingly wealthy and dynamic; and if PRC wants to corrupt that, the result is that the benefits of the system they are corrupting disappear with that system.

Also, it is not always right to honour the law, when dealing with bandits. The CCP does not care for the law, so their assertion of a legal right to Hong Kong (which has not matured anyway) is hypocritical, and can essentially be ignored at no moral hazard.

Furthermore, even if we asserted that the CCP has some agreed legal right to Hong Kong that will mature in some years, I would not agree that it has a moral right to take its people as property.
I’m surprised they aren’t focused more on it. Not for us desktop Linux users, but for ChromeOS
>the company decided to take makeshift measures such as reusing credit card numbers of discontinued cards after a certain period had passed since cardholders canceled their memberships. However, there are considerable risks of fraudulent usage

What are the risks here, and why aren't they already present by someone generating credit card numbers with a RNG? AFAIK credit card transactions are authenticated by at least expiration date and cvv, so there isn't a risk of reusing credit card numbers.

>and a source close to the credit card industry said, "Increasing the number of digits is the only real way to deal with the problem. There will likely be a shift toward increasing the number of digits in the first half of this decade."

My assumption is that there are people that dislike how Gates earned his money.
Companies do not willing hire managers, especially executive level. There is always a reason. For instance, they were hired from a competitor and had information, could bring over employees, etc. Other times it is personal relationships. Notice I say relationship not friendship. Many companies are doing unethical or illegal things and are not going to hire someone they think is a boy scout narc into their ranks. Many are doing criminal businesses on the side. You think I am joking or exaggerating, but this is sadly the reality. It's nice to pretend stuff doesn't go on but it does. The good thing is that you can start your own business, be the boss, and run an ethical ship.
> I don't think that's quite fair.

It is if you're not going to accept a priori the claim that surveillance can be justified. If you need to have it demonstrated that surveillance can be justified, the only possible grounds for such a demonstration is to show the people the benefits--the actual harms that surveillance has prevented. If we the people can't see those benefits, how can we possibly judge whether or not surveillance can be justified?

In other words, the government of any free society is in a kind of Catch-22 position with regard to surveillance: it can't be justified to the people without revealing that it's happening and what it's discovering, but revealing those things destroys the usefulness of the surveillance. The only choices are to not permit the surveillance at all, or to accept an unavoidable loss of freedom--as a citizen, you will never be able to know whether the surveillance your government is conducting is justified. You just have to accept it.
I didn't downvote this (and don't generally do so), but here's a line of reasoning that might explain it: something has to go seriously wrong in the world for the lives of millions of people to be contingent upon the charitable sentiments of one obscenely wealthy man. Put another way: regardless of whether he's doing good, it shouldn't be the case that polio eradication depends on his material wealth.

Celebrating the beneficial outcomes of Bill Gates' charity without reflecting on why he's able to give away billions of dollars without breaking a sweat invites us to ignore the fact that the system that enriched Bill Gates doesn't actually encourage him to do any good (and actually involved him doing quite a lot of harm).
I imagine I'm atypical, but if I had to drive somewhere to pick up my online orders, my monthly car trips would go up between one and two orders of magnitude. But I do order a decent quantity of things on Amazon (for non-urgent things I use the "Amazon day" delivery option to help reduce their trips), and generally dislike driving and try to drive as little as possible (1-3 trips per week; pre-covid I could go weeks without driving).

I'd be curious to know what the environmental numbers are for someone like me.
A lot of people use substack now because it's easier, but I still use mailchimp for my newsletter.

USPS does not have that leverage, they are obligated to provide last mile support at a loss if necessary.
Running SSH on a non-standard port alone isn't worth much, but it's defense in depth. You don't have to not do all the other things if you run SSH on a non-standard port.
