> I can create copies enhanced by partner genetics and trained by me who have the ability to fit themselves to circumstances I cannot foresee.

Normal reproduction is good for passing on advantageous genetics and parenting is a short-term transfer of advantageous memetics. The brain upload is for advantageous non-degrading memetics. Think of the uploaded brain as just a book with an intelligent query engine.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if we're able to make servants of uploaded brains it will be as vast a leap in human capability as when we got the written text. We gained the technology to pass ideas across time and hit a hockey stick in growth. If we gain the technology to increase that fidelity and permit querying informed by additional information? Making 10 copies of me, with varying plasticity, and then feeding them information to see if they find novel solutions to problems?

Forget training a neural network to detect answers. Just emulate the brain and you get a never-tiring never-bored (since you can programmatically dopamine-train this being) eternal intelligent searcher who understands all your queries.

¹ Not strictly, since it's not a clone, but clones are shitty anyway since they're less capable of genetic adaptation.
And why are police never punished, because police unions. Unions in their modern form are granted special privileges by the government and use those privileges to extort society. There is nothing wrong with people joining groups, collective bargaining, etc -- the problem is that they are given special privileges by the state.
It's not as unskilled as you might think it is. Professionals here put in a lot of thought and effort to their promoting their specific niche, brand, etc. Many of them have a solid understanding of lighting and photography and employ that knowledge to improve their work.

This is about as insulting as saying photography is "unskilled labor". Sure, anyone can take a photograph. But the people who are at the top are generally there because of hard work and business smarts.

Nope, the fact that the police was checking the database has nothing to do with the performance of Thunder Bay against COVID 19, their performance is pretty in line with any remote smaller cities across Canada. In fact they tried to know why they were using it so much, and they refuse to answer. It's the lack of accountability that is the problem. May be there was a real reason for them to use it (10x more than any other city???!), but since they refuse to tell people, anyone can guess.
The developer account is much cheaper than lawyers and process required to set up a 500M subsidiary, so I don't think we even need to think of this edge case.
How many documented instances of unionised militants trying to bully workers into joining?

History is full of private interests using the full might of the state and any trick they can think of to prevent unions.

So yeah, one is more likely than the other.
In math everything is persistent/immutable anyway, so persistent data structures are a given when working with purely mathematical abstractions.

On average it's about 15 houses, so postcode + date of birth is indeed around 95% accurate.
50-100 houses is not that much. You can find someone in those 100 houses with 1 DOB and post code. Maybe in very crowded areas you'll need one more var. Worst case scenario you'll end up with 2-3 people.
Gig workers are still workers. This whole ridiculousness would be avoided if they just paid them like the employees they should be.
I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding your point, but might a union actually help in this case?

The 30 hour mandate is from the federal government as part of the Affordable Care Act. If someone was moved from 40 hours to 29 hours because of this, that's bad, but they were likely not a union member, right? Unions would have a negotiated contract for however many hours they wanted (either more or less than the norm), and would have also already negotiated benefits on the side so the incentive for the employer to cut to 30 hours would be gone.

Regarding the fewer hours points - I wasn't advocating that shorter weeks are always better, but rather that unions are responsible for, or at least contributed to, many of the gains that workers got over the last 150 years, and that IMO have been eroding.

Pretending we lived in the early 20th century, isn't the benefit of 40 hours a week in a factory over >60 hours a week in a factory clear? In terms of health and safety, unions have also made sure that e.g. you were less likely to become trapped and burn alive during the workday [0].

I've been involved with Qt for a long time and got a Z10 as a conference freebie, but the great developer documentation is actually news to me! I prefer to just use phones, I develop for PC hardware for fun and embedded platforms for money these days. At the time, some of my coworkers helped with porting Qt to QNX. I worked on a different Qt project on QNX and I was also duly impressed by the technical quality and elegance of the OS.

The BB10 UI was built on something like QML (the language and runtime) from Qt 4 with their own UI elements and an OpenGL based backend from the acquired company The Astonishing Tribe. They had animations e.g. for slider switches running in the render thread, perfect 60 fps. Qt Quick (the UI framework based on QML, colloquially called "QML") only got an OpenGL backend in Qt 5.

Another very good Qt-based phone OS (after the Nokia N9, got one of these at a conference as well) that failed :(

By the way, the Ford Sync 3 IVI ("in-vehicle infotainment system") is also based on QNX and Qt and it received fairly good reviews. I think I made some tiny contribution to it, if only helping a coworker with something.
A tower controller at an airport talks to planes in the air as they arrive and depart. They are in the tower so they can see the planes visually, and may also have radar available.

Ground control also works in the tower, after all they have to be able to see the airport taxiways. They may also have a separate ground radar. They are only talking to planes on the ground.

At a busy airport, these will be separate individuals working each of these duties.

At a less busy airport, or during quieter hours, the same controller may work both tower and ground simultaneously.

There are also "center" controllers who work in the enroute traffic centers. They are not in towers and often not at any airport, as they talk with planes at altitude and work by radar and voice communication, not visual.

For example, in a typical departure, you first talk to ground control for taxi clearance and instructions. When you are ready for departure (near but not yet on the runway!) ground will say "contact tower on 123.45" (or whatever frequency), and tower will clear you for takeoff. After you've taken off, tower may say "contact center on 124.56" (again, whatever the frequency is).

While you're flying, each center controller will hand you off to a different center (and different frequency) which you cross between the different areas that the different centers cover.

For landing, it's the same thing in reverse order: center hands you off to tower as you approach the airport, and after you're on the runway, tower hands you off to ground (who again is up in the tower, but only talking to planes on the ground) for taxi instructions.
> They're pretty unpopular here. I was explaining why a British person might call them goons.

Yeah, no. We must be living in different countries. There are lots of large, powerful, popular British unions in a wide variety of industries.
I can assure you that OpenShift doesn't take this path because it is "better". It does so because bare-metal is a significant part of their market and there isn't a better option to automate the process currently.

I once worked on a competing product (before the OS update operator was available) and the update-in-place model was always a disaster. Various problems like dns, service discovery, timeouts, breaking changes to dependency pkgs, etc make for a problematic process. Combine that with the frantic pace of k8s develeopment, short node compatibility window (2-3 minor k8s releases) and various CVEs - you end up debugging a lot of machines in unknown states that fail to rejoin clusters after reboots.
In particular L7 at Amazon is roughly equivalent to L6 at Google, E6 at Facebook, 66-67-ish at Microsoft, and 5-ish at apple.

> Since it is practically impossible to confirm if a given sex worker is participating under duress or not, especially when it occurs "remotely" as in this OnlyFans situation, I would say it is always unethical to purchase such services.

Applying this kind of blanket rule leads to all sorts of ridiculous conclusions. Can you verify that the people assembling the very device you wrote this post on aren't under similar amounts of duress as you clutch your pearls over in this comment?
Come on, I didn't claim that. I responded to 'someone on HN claiming to have a pilots licence' who couldn't see a reason it wasn't plausible. I'm just offering three anti-plausability reasons someone else on the internet had.
I worked on some code signing code, and one of the internal customers, who had a lot of clout (but not as much as they thought) were adamant that I needed to provide them a way to pluck data out of the payload without verifying the signature first. I told them, in a variety of extremely diplomatic ways, to politely fuck off. In fact I did a sweep of the code to make extra sure that none of the data paths gave you anything before verification had finished (there were not barn doors but there were soft spots). When your dog is sniffing around, it's time to hide the treats.

The only reason you want to look at a payload is to make decisions about it, before you can trust those decisions are rational. What I did promise them is that I would continue to try to make the checks cheaper, which we did.

Ten years later, I still trust that I made the right call. Never expose a function from a security library that gives you the data without verifying it first. You are doing violence to the user, the team, the company, possibly an entire industry.
I have an inspiron with a 1060Q and had similar problems on an HP envy (forgot the card in there). I've tried a bunch of distros (I've been on linux for about a decade and mainly run Arch though).

You could get a good chair for way way less though. Matter of fact I'm sitting on a $30 couch right now. Which is probably what that chair of yours is worth after you buy it. What made you spend the other $170? Perhaps it gave you a good feeling? Maybe the picture did the same...

We use 5000+ CoreOS nodes in production and never want to go back to replacing VMs with new images for each update again. In-place immutable updates are more efficient and faster. Unlike RPM based OSes that are hard to patch, transactional updates provide a safe way to perform safe in-place updates instead of wasteful operations such as replacing full VMs for small OS updates.

This response is so completely unrelated to what I actually said that it’s genuinely hard to respond to. If you want to continue to discuss this matter, respond to what I said, rather than making up what I said and then arguing against it.
It should answer the question because the use case which you are stating (didn't before) is that you're using a headless environment. Which means you aren't using a DE.

IF you are using a server with a DE then it answers the question about how yes it does affect you because you are using a DE.

In either case, it isn't "just for gaming"
> What about them makes them anti-capitalist

They only exist because without them, capitalism and its advocates brutally oppress the workers, keeping them in a perpetual state of poverty. The fact that they are not literally trying to overthrow the regime doesn't mean they aren't anti-capitalist.

Partial Disagreement on the phrasing of this - there are many classes of assertion like `assertThat(expected).containsInAnyOrder(foo,bar,baz);` that would not meet this. Order often does not matter and cannot be constrained. There are other things similar to this.

I have absolutely never had issues with bit depth and dynamic range. In fact, my A7ii generally has more dynamic range than my friends on Canikon.

Sony is pretty open on their websites that their RAW files when compression is activated may have loss of bit depth in some cases. You can turn off RAW compression in about 3 button presses, and then you'll always have 14bit files.

Doesn't that mean pretty much all labor then?

I think my biggest counter argument to your otherwise excellent post is that I am not convinced that prohibition actually fixes the problem you're talking about. We all agree that alcoholism is bad, but making it illegal didn't actually do anything to stop it.
It's clear you've never worked with a union if you think the rules make sense or if you think the tradeshow had any say in this activity.

I use Haskell because it actually delivers on the promise of software reusability. In his book, John Ousterhout wrote a wonderful phrase: "increments of software development should be abstractions, not features.". I completely agree.

Even though the JVM ecosystem is great, I dislike the languages that run on it, Clojure being an exception. To filter out OOP, it fundamentally abstracts the wrong thing. Modules should abstract functionality, not data. And that's why I don't want anything to do with Java.
Procedural generation for plants is actually pretty common already Most trees you see in video games are from middleware like Realtree
This has definitely not been my experience running many hundreds of Red Hat CoreOS nodes in production.

So far, aside from a few small flakey issues, having the cluster nodes _and_ the OpenShift cluster update in lock step has been dramatically simpler to manage.

Yep, more that actually being able to turn interrupts off is a barrier to doing real time work on desktop OS's, for example. Even if you can disable them globally (I think on the Pi you can with some low level C), but stuff goes wonky quickly e.g. if the WiFi soc doesn't get serviced.

It's a good lesson to play with polling versus interrupts on a micro. Susprising just how many cycles it takes to jump into the ISR.
How can you be sure that if we could eliminate death, we would also be able to make life so great that our mind would find it worthwhile to keep living century after century? In other words, if we enabled people's minds to continue forever, how do we know it would be heaven and not hell?
This really highlights the underlying problem. People don't have an unhealthy attachment to sex. Who cares if Chinese children are being over worked and under paid to make your iPhone, but God forbid there be even one sex worker who is possibly working in unethical conditions. Let's just kill the entire platform and livelihoods of every other sex worker!

Security September: Fun with Fn:Cidr
Calculating state support as a percentage of total cost is misleading, since universities can make "total cost" be whatever they please. California spends 34% more on higher education than it did in 1975, adjusted both for inflation and for state population growth. If a university wants their budget to double, and the state won't double their funding, then the remainder will have to come from tuition. But that's not the state's fault, it's the universities' fault for spending more.

I'm a huge Apple fanboy, and I sometimes forget that the Safari marketshare includes iPhone and iPad too.

I use Safari on my Macs as the #1 browser. Not having uBlock Origin is alleviated by ka-block + pi-hole. (Also I think Apple is changing how plugins work, so maybe we'll see ublock origin after all.)

Second is Firefox, which I use for compatibility with some school stuff.

Third I'll use Microsoft Edge for the occasional thing that just doesn't work right in the other two. This is a rare occurrence nowadays for me.

In which actual country is forced unionisation a thing? It sounds more like stupid local laws than a flaw in the concept of trade unions.
Organizations that are poor and have no choice but to perform efficiently are the only ones that do. The catch is they get less done because they're poor. Buffalo doesn't have a subway but if they did you can bet your ass they'd get more for your dollar than than the MTA does. Likewise your local dirt and scrap haulers are making their trucks go further per dollar than the high dollar urban construction outfits could ever hope to. When you don't have a lot you care about how it gets used.

I dunno about where your parents live, but out here where I live, Target kinda took Walmart's place. There are very few Walmarts, and so the Targets are about as bad as Walmart is in other places I've lived in the past lol.

Honestly it is Thunderbird which I am most concerned about losing in all of this. Google & Gmail have done untold damage to what we know as email.
In this vein I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad choice to underscore the non-verified decode methods in token API's. Surely people would still abuse them but at least there's an immediate visual warning if you choose not to read the docs, "Why is this method underscored but the other one not?"
To me this just sounds like an argument against fact checking in general, all this is also true of any third party fact checking service, either way someone can be politically slighted, but also anyone is free to start their own third party fact checking service (at least in a free society)
Mmm. The people who don't like JWT tend to blame JWT here, but this type of mistake is a sharp edge in a library that has no good reason to be there except laziness.

We've been here before with HTTPS. Today the libraries most of you are likely to use to fetch https://example.com/something (such as Python's requests) will without any extra effort default to insisting that the remote server has a certificate for the name example.com from a CA trusted in the Web PKI and knows the associated private key.

But even just ten years ago the equivalent library might have a flag labelled "verify" that defaults off, and it turns out even if you do set that flag you're only causing it to check the server can prove it owns this certificate, not that the certificate is for the name you wanted, or issued by anybody you trust. So even if you jump through hoops it's useless.

That wasn't a bug in TLS, and I'd argue that libraries offering moral equivalents of jwt.decode() isn't a bug in JWT, it's a bug in these libraries. These libraries are garbage, their authors should be ashamed.

Imagine if you got a library with a sort() method and careful reading of the documentation revealed that oops, you actually mustn't call sort() if you want things sorted you need to call trickyOrderingMechanism(ORIENTATION, input, mode_flags) and read sixteen extra pages of documentation because the sort() method just uses the "default" sort of "not sorted at all". Brilliant. Library goes in the trash right?
The framerate didn't increase. It was still 60 or 50 Hz. The resolution did increase, but so did the size. The typical angular resolution stayed pretty much constant, I think.
Most every taxi firm in the uk has a piece of plastic water pipe and a bunch of ping-pong balls. As each driver comes back they take their number from the basket and drop it into the far end of the tube. The next call that comes in, and the despatcher takes the ball out the "near" end.

It is an almost foolproof FIFO pipe (literally), simplemfor everyone to understand and very cheap to run.
