I wrote a short quide on installing searX on a Linux system back in Feb. 2020

One word. Jurisdiction.

What is on the device in their hands, on US soil, is subject to their stupidities, whatever those stupidities may be on the day their grubby hands get hold of your phone.

What is located remotely, in a privacy conscious jurisdiction, say Switzerland, is outside of their remit. I know US courts like to think they have power over the world, but they don't. US courts and US law power stops at US borders.

The trick is to make sure nothing gets cached on your local device (including authentication credentials, obviously). A bit like the old Thin Client computing really.

If you want to go one step further, don't travel with working credentials. Rely on someone outside of US jurisdiction to provide you the last piece of the jigsaw in a secure manner once you are in a safe location.
Oh yeah in the sense that it's a bad idea for cohesion to have a military that looks like officers all race 1, enlisted all race 2, I agree. The idea that it gives an innate advantage over an opposing military of all one race is ridiculous.
How Mustard Became the King of Jewish Condiments
That's half of my complaint, that the GTK+ devs consider "stable" to mean "frozen". You are supposed to code against the latest completed version (e.g. the final GTK+ 3), which will not receive compatible feature updates, and then if you want to get the new features you have to port your code to the next version.

Whereas under the old model (GTK+ 2.x) it was forwards compatible (if that is the right word) - you code against a stable but actively developed version, and your code will work with no or minimal changes for multiple years, and you will receive the benefits of new versions (historical examples: changes to file open/save dialogs, theming changes, window resize grippers, dragging windows from menubars, ...).
Ventoy works surprisingly well, almost exactly the way you describe. First you run the tool that installs software on the USB stick and then you can just add/remove ISO files to it whenever you like. The boot manager installed on the stick detects them and allows you to boot through any of them.

"VS Code uses 13% CPU when idle due to blinking cursor rendering"
I enjoy Fortnite, play it with some old colleagues most weekends. It's simple, cross platform for all of us, been around and not going away, and has several modes to mix things up with. Barrier to entry is $0 allowing any of use to play as casually as we'd like without needing to make an investment. That last point is what should hint the game is going to be pushing sales heavily.

When you launch the game you get full screen ads for newly released skins you have to click past to acknowledge, entire seasons are designed and themed around marketing deals with cinematics of the new stuff and click through walkthroughs about season skins you can by. If you don't have the battle pass there is constant advertising to get it and when you do it provides enough free virtual currency to run you through the virtual store at least a couple times per year so buying the cosmetics feels familiar.

So you have heavy 3rd party ads (as mentioned next season is going to be all Marvel) and heavy first part ads (in game store purchases) every time you launch the game, join a match, participate in a match, finish a match, or leave a party. Just because the ads are integrated doesn't mean it's not an ad riddled garbage fire.

But overall it's a decent enough game that lets me interact with some folks who otherwise wouldn't play something so I like it. I'm just aware I'm being served ads constantly in it.
How could two organizations of thousands of people ever be completely 100% identical, and why does that matter at all if neither party has rolled back these massively unpopular policies, even when controlling both houses of Congress and the executive?
Doesn’t matter. Much of the US roads aren’t anywhere near trees - ie the southwest. Huge amount of roads and solar power potential there too. Also, cleaning crews are a thing that have existed in the past and should again.
It's not "need" as much as increasing efficiency and profit. There are at least a few studies now that have shown that multipurpose use for both agriculture and solar will provide greater output than doing only one; for example you may lose 30% of maximum potential solar production and 40% of agricultural output, but it's still not >50% loss for either. These studies were not performed with this type of semi-transparent as in this article, so perhaps the boost could be larger, if the additional cost of the panels is not too high.
There are a handful of state courts in the US that find passwords testimonial, and therefore the Fifth Amendment prevents compelled production of passwords. [1]

Elijah was wearing headphones. Since you’ve seen the video, how long from the moment the police are out of their cars before they put their hands on Elijah?

Would you put your hands on someone Who showed no physical resistance in that amount of time?

The Police escalate quickly, and then, since the situation has escalated, feel justified in their response, which killed Elijah. They killed Elijah.
Calling your congressman makes the most sense, IMO. As technologists we have an inclination to jump to the technical workaround, but the workaround should not be needed to begin with.
The Pentagon is the top of the top- the C-level suites for 5-6 different corporations and their staffs. Actual acquisitions are handled by the services and distributed throughout various bases. There is much more civilian involvement at this level- usually there may only be one or two military or gov't employees involved in day-to-day design and technical decisions, and civilians usually have no problem telling them they're wrong, albeit probably in a more respectful manner than your usual group of codebros.

Teenagers don't, obviously. But when you are 30+ and you are watching a movie with your father or mother - none of you is embarrassed by it typically. Exactly because for grown-ups it's just sex.

And anyway - how many movies you can name with graphic sex scenes that are now porno? I can think of barely 2 or 3 maybe

"Teasing out the actual business logic is as much a part of the job as anything else..."

That's the definition of a programmer analyst or business analyst. If the business is too cheap or clueless to create business process maps or hire someone as a process efficiency expert, then they are certainly too cheap fund properly developed software and too clueless to intelligently answer the questions that an IT resource has to use to tease out an answer.

I do agree that no-code is not going to replace the need for software professionals.
Rose-tinted glasses seem to often filter out yellow journalism in discussions concerning journalistic decline. In the late 19th century yellow journalists were largely responsible for starting the Spanish-American War. And mainstream publications were hardly saints in the past either, for instance in the mid-20th century the NYTimes made themselves an uncritical mouthpiece for Stalin with denial of the Holodomor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial_of_the_Holodomor#Walter...

It's hard to have a meaningful conversation about the present state of journalism with such a sanitized inaccurate understanding of the history of journalism.

From my perspective, modern journalism isn't doing great, but neither does it seem to be unusually bad. You might say the American press participated in starting the Iraq War, but in that case they were uncritically parroting what a US president was telling them, rather than pressuring a president who wanted peace into declaring war, as the yellow journalists did in the 1890s. Relative severity of these wars aside, it seems to me that journalism is presently better now than it was then.

I work in engineering using CAD everyday, and I have a toy project idea I am developing using LISA FEA software, FreeCAD's dll, Blender rendering, and C/Python(Hylang) code to make it all work. The idea is to input the maximum working envelope of your geometry, input a load and placement(s) and have the system evolve a workable and aesthetic design to meet the need. I had this idea a long time ago based on my study of neural networks and genetic programming from the 80s, but the tech wasn't there yet. Take a look at what Autodesk has been researching in generative design [1]. FreeCAD has a python API and so does Blender. There are lots of hooks to each with exporters/importers. I particularly liked this Blender/Hy fun demo [2].

> Both groups are NOT equal, and frankly American conservatives (as a group) are far more often to be targetted and spreaders of conspiracy theories and misinformation.

If only this were even remotely true. Every time you hear about 'white nationalists' or 'the alt right' doing X, that's a conspiracy theory. And we know who spreads that nonsense. Also, Russia-gate. And how the Senate refused to call witnesses, some large conspiracy. There's currently conspiracy theories floating around about mail sorting machines being removed. In 2016, there were conspiracies surrounding the destruction of primary ballots that were in favor of Bernie Sanders.

It's hard to reconcile the evidence with your opinion. It seems to me, both groups market in conspiracy. Both groups think the other group is full of potatoes.

If you work at Google, please throw in your 2c.

Your argument, if you can call it that, is completely incoherent.

You seem to be under the impression that anti-trust is isolated to monopolies, when clearly it is not. Apple and Google do not need to have a monopoly for the government to decide that their app store business model is anti-competitive, and there doesn't need to be precedence.
> The fact serial killers get marriage proposals does not mean that people who are not serial killers necessarily get marriage proposals.

Yes, you are correct that the fact serial killers get marriage proposals does not mean that people who are not serial killers necessarily get marriage proposals, however that was not the argument that I was making. Serial killers have extremely undesirable personality traits which, typically, one would assume should exclude them from the dating pool. Despite these traits, however serial killers manage to be attractive to people. The conclusion to be reached here is that there is a wide range of personality traits, including negative and antisocial traits, which women can find attractive.

>I suspect if somebody is hideously deformed and does not have a working penis, they're going to have a lot of difficulty finding a romantic partner.

Again, yes, you are correct. But I was not arguing that it was common, rather, I was arguing that there is a wide range of physical attributes which women find attractive, and including deformity implicitly includes the entire range range of attributes one would consider non-traditionally attractive as well, and again (refer to the previous argument) most incels likely do not fall outside of this range in terms of their physical appearance.

Therefore, the argument that every incel is somehow undateable due to immutable and innate characteristics is demonstrated to be false when the variety of physical, psychological and social traits of the entire population which is dating is considered. Edanm's comment above is correct - there are very few, if any, incels for whom a person with practically the same physical and psychological circumstances couldn't be found, but with a partner.

>Presumably there are large numbers of people who have those and similar issues. I think they should be allowed to talk about that, and not have people respond by comparing them to Elliot Rodger.

If they don't want to be associated with people like him, they shouldn't self-identify with a community that considers him a hero and a martyr for their beliefs.
It's completely insane that, in America, police are allowed to direct paramedics to inject a person with _anything_. Anesthesiologists go through how many years of schooling and training? And even then, nobody is injecting kids with shit on the street.

I was first confused when I learned about the McClain story; I had known Ketamine to be a recreational drug, and i had never heard of cops injecting something into a person they were arresting before. Since I have become better educated, I am much more concerned about staying in America long-term. This is not how normal law enforcement should be operating.

>Go ahead and keep arguing about whether or not nuclear is a good idea. Earth doesn't care. The water will be lapping at your feet soon. How's that for externalizing a cost to future generations?

Agreed. The reality is there is nothing like nuclear energy. We lost (and continue losing) decades of nuclear development and deployment due to the anti-nuke movement (environmental or otherwise). This resulted in hundreds of billions of tons of CO2 emitted that otherwise wouldn't have been emitted (imagine if the developed world invested in nuclear to the same level as France in the 70s) - emissions that would have bought us more decades to tackle climate change.

But physics are physics. Nuclear will come back because you cannot beat the energy density of nuclear in a world which requires more and more power, with a growing population and living standards, and is dealing with the double environmental whammy of global warming and your generic environmental collapse. Things like wind and solar need huge surface areas to operate in, and require environmentally disastrous mining as well as huge swaths of landfill once decommissioned ... and need fossil fuel base load to be viable.

I watched a YouTube video recently that compared nuclear-powered and diesel-powered aircraft carriers [1]. The diesel-powered carrier needs to refuel every few weeks, while nuclear-powered carrier needs to refuel every 20 years. That is just insanity. Living in the modern world, we have an intuitive understanding how often things need to recharged and/or refueled, and nuclear just breaks your mind.
