sounds like you want to define that for me
From a simpletons perspective, I don't understand why we get to have a say of how a country reclaims its former territory. Especially from Westerners(not even land connected) who have no claim whatsoever. Why do we have a negative outlook on our former empires colonizing the world while at the same time doing everything possible to retain profits/power from these bad things we shouldn't be doing? Very hypocritical to simpletons. Someone is shutting off our outpost, ofcourse we won't let it go without kicking and screaming to get everyones attention to what?

But the same generation was in power when we launched our twenty-year War on Terror, and the comparisons to Vietnam that started popping up a decade and a half ago didn't manifest in any sort of wariness to move forward and keep moving forward with our attempted "regime change." If anything, it's that which has changed our willingness to step forward militarily. The conclusion is that we spent our war capital on frivolous quagmires when real threats were looming but not being taken seriously.

Comparative data across the Tesla fleet, by model and production years, is so interesting!

I love the Tesla approach to continuous improvement, and the Nikola app seems really cool!
> Good grief I have no idea why these debates always descend into alarmism and philosophizing. Virtually every democratic country on this planet has national id cards. Switzerland, a bastion of democracy does, Israel does, South Korea does, Germany, does, if you emigrate from the UK to Switzerland, does anyone feel they've now entered a fundamentally new relationship with the state because of an ID card?

What is your argument here? A lot of countries do it, therefore it's okay?

> If you buy booze online in Germany on Amazon you can type in your ID and your age is verified within a minute, and the standard actually demands that those requests are ephemeral. Can anyone tell me why that's worse than some patchwork of private verification industries who leak your data every two months or sell them to god knows who?

Can you tell me why this is preferable to having someone look at an ID and verify it with their eyeballs?

> Does anyone seriously think not having an ID card stops the government from unifying data?

Absolutely.
Another thing not to be underestimated: C and C++'s build tools and dependency process can be intimidating for new users. Rust uses a configuration file to specify dependencies and compile options, then runs with `cargo run`. This is notable on embedded, where the process for Rust is similar as non-embedded, with the addition of installing a CLI app like `probe-run`, and adding a config file specifying memory available. On C and C++, vendor-specific IDEs (Like STM32 cube) are appealing to configure the build process... and the starting files created with these are complicated, even for `hello world`.
Hong Kong not being able to diversify its economy beyond real estate and finance disabled it from having strong leverage. The Hong Kong that was rich enough to support Sichuan after the 2008 earthquake is now arguably less economically dynamic than Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and of course its neighbour, Shenzhen. Hong Kong was in a weak position unable to dictate terms to Beijing. And I think Beijing of course prefers that. I think there is a lot of schaedenfreude in the hearts of mainlanders also, as Hong Kong people used to look down on mainlanders, especially when the HKD was worth so much more than the RMB. I remember people complaining how mainlanders would break toilets by squatting on them because they didn't know how to use sit-down toilets.

China's basically like, "Look at me. I am the captain now."
This exactly. We have nuclear weapons now unlike the millenia past so that could lead to terrifying ends.

resolv.conf never worked for roaming users. glibc famously only read it on application startup.
Spotify flashes non-stop (the left sidebar and the bottom control strip, but interestingly not the main app window).

> Quartz Debug: There are some apps that reduce your battery life in an insidious way where it doesn’t show as CPU usage for their process but as increased WindowServer CPU usage. If your WindowServer process CPU usage is above maybe 6-10% when you’re not doing anything, some app in the background is probably spamming 60fps animation updates. As far as I know you can only figure out which app is at fault by getting the Quartz Debug app from Apple’s additional developer tools, enabling flash screen updates (and no delay after flash), then going to the overview mode (four finger swipe up) and looking for flashing. This same problem can also occur on Linux and Windows but I don’t know how much power it saps there.

Yes. A few times (6-7) across several years.

Perception of time is altered (slowd down mostly), you can see intricate pulsating, kaleidoscopic, patterns in ordinary things (flowers, the floor, carpet, etc), you get deep thoughts and feelings (can be a rollercoaster), it greatly enhances music (it's like seeing in color for the first time). Sex on it is not bad either...

I want to say that defence treaties, are a bit special in the context of USA.

Why USA has historically entered into so many treaties?

They reason is is because USA's constitutional arrangement makes it really hard for the US government to declare a war... on the paper.

So, by giving a treaty, USA was giving the strongest assurance that by turning a treaty into its own law, it prevents the chance of anybody in the constitutional order of precedence stopping, or reneging on the obligated retaliation.
I read (probably on HN) that Google keeps paying FF, so Google can point to FF as a viable competitor during anti-trust investigations. Since it seems those investigations are able to launch in the US, it will be interesting to see what happens to the relationship afterwards.

It is unknown what will happen to Taiwan.

It will depend on the overall relationship between US/China, and between China/Taiwan.

If Taiwan declares independence or develops nuclear weapons, expect war within a year.

If the status quo continues, then peace is likely to continue.

China will probably acquire the capability to militarily invade in 2025-2030 even with US intervention.
Not if it’s a military base, or a navy in the ocean.
> Didn't hear them complaining back then in the asian banking crisis when China bailed them out with the money from exploited chinese workers

China “bailing out” Hong Kong is a common myth popularized by the CCP [0].

China refused to interfere with Hong Kong during the 1998 financial crisis, according to former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa [1].

The Monetary Authority head did not acknowledge any help from China back then [2].

A few tips for Spotlight that made me stop using apps like Quicksilver and Alfred:

1. Typing something and pressing CMD+B will open a browser and do a Google search for that

2. Typing math works now

3. You can change your Spotlight preferences to not include files you don't wanna search on, essentially always showing apps (if you just want it do be an app launcher)

Alfred does a lot more than this, but for me these were the key automation features I needed to stop using it.
The key word there is former. We don't get a "say", there is an equal opportunity for influence because it is the former territory.
AFAIK one of LKY’s stated goals was to compete with private corporations for the best talent by paying comparably. DPMs are paid quite handsomely but not incomparable to C suite pay at large companies.
Lua is a tiny, relatively simple language with a simple data model built on a small runtime that's very fast for an interpreter and easy to embed into C/C++ applications (once you dealt with the stack, mentally or otherwise). Startup time is ~nil.

Python is a large, complex language with an exceedingly complicated data model built on a runtime where the core interpreter is about ~4 MB, which is also a pretty slow interpreter (mostly due to the exceedingly complicated data model). Python is certainly not hard to embed on an API level, but somewhat annoying to package up for a build. Python is very hard to sandbox, whereas Lua is basically sandboxed by default. Startup time is on the order of ~100-200 ms.
True, but this is the ancient rhetoric almost word-for-word. The words are triggering for those of certain generations.
I tend to use /etc/hosts to block sites on my desktop, like YouTube or HN. YouTube DNS itself is somehow special because it stays cached for new browser windows. So I further cripple it with ublock origin by disabling JavaScript.

I can undo these things easily enough, but it's sufficient that my monkey brain can't just open a tab and go there without my conscious permission ( which disturbingly is how habit forming these sites are for me.)

I keep them available on my mobile, but I have an old, slow phone and I never keep it on my desk, I put it out of reach and with notifications on silent.

For things like Facebook and Instagram my solution is simply to delete my account and never let that abomination steal precious minutes of my life. I don't miss them at all.
You just need to use var properly. I.E. only when you can tell the type from the rvalue.

var a = new ArrayList<T>();

not:

var a = o.getThings();
I only tried it once. The worst I can remember is finding out the next day that there were this very unhealthy substitutes (such as the N-Bomb) being sold instead of the real thing, so I can't tell if I took actual LSD. The experience was fine. It went through several stages. First it was visual, then more introspective. I felt something I can only describe as being dead, meaning that I felt very aware of being matter, and I thought of that beauty around us that is not alive and is simply indifferent and potentially destructive to life and any sense of purpose. Then at some point I was cleaning some fresh basil to prepare something to eat and I found a caterpillar among the leaves and carried it to the garden. The caterpillar jumped and I felt like an electric shock had gone through my body. Later, while sitting with my friend (also on LSD), I narrated this experience to my friend and I started crying. My voice sometimes sounded robotic to my ears.
Wow Contexts looks incredibly well designed. I'm not sure I'll actually use it over my current Hammerspoon setup, but they combine all my favorite quick selection techniques like smart ordering, fuzzy matching, providing two-character hints which will definitely select a certain item, persisting things to keep hints consistent, shortcuts where you press a modifier type and then release to activate ...

What I really want now is for Alfred to copy all of Contexts search features so that I can use them for generic search matching in Alfred workflows.
Pioneered by the US in the modern day AFAIK. I remember the news reports from embedded journalists during the second gulf war.
"BLM still isn't Marxist even if its founders are."

That doesn’t compute. An organization is ultimately inseparable from the real ideological positions and goals of its leadership. The entire 20th century is replete with examples of front groups, secretly working for the extreme positions held by their founders while using rhetoric that the public would view as more middle-of-the-road, and enlisting supporters and low-level employees that remained apart from the founders’ thought. (Marxist, capitalist, whatever – such front groups existed on both ends of the ideological spectrum of the Cold War era.) Why should we believe that a contemporary organization like BLM cannot be the same?

You can certainly argue that the ordinary people protesting in a general BLM-inspired movement are not necessarily to be identified ideologically with the founders of the BLM organization. But the criticisms of the BLM organization remain valid. And participants in the general movement who attend protests led by the BLM organization can be accused of unwittingly lending support to extreme positions, of neglecting their duty to look into who exactly has planned and organized a particular event beforehand.

Those of us who protested the Iraq War in certain street protests that turned out to have been organized by Communist parties for their own shady purposes, have been burnt and we don’t want antiracism protestors to be exploited in the same way.
I wonder if the alternative is for the Rust foundation to one day buy out Firefox and pull it out of the claws of Mozilla if they are just going to have a nonprofit receiving donations not even going towards Firefox. Has anyone figured out what jacked up reason this is? My best guess is that if Mozilla is seen as selling adspace services (default browser search engine in this case) it is somehow seen as a for profit venture and would not allow them to have a non profit status, but at that point why not just have Firefox be like Chromium vs Google Chrome? Firefox Libre and Mozilla Firefox.

I fail to understand why we cant directly donate to Firefox and only Firefox. Most people really dont care for anything else Mozilla is doing outside of Rust and Thunderbird and tbe latter two seem to have a solid future as far as I can tell.
Won't that cause tons of errors in the services logs
>iTerm2: An alternative Terminal with just so many features. I particularly like the ability to split windows into panes, which Apple’s Terminal does not have.

Terminal actually has it, View -> Split Pane or Command-D - and has had it for ages (as well as tabs).
In 2017, there were 24 other countries with an export volume at least 10% as large as China's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exports

If export volume is the only factor, we'd expect to see e.g. Polish companies sending seeds at about 10% of the volume coming from Chinese companies.

One possible explanation is that EU exports frequently stay within the EU, so Polish companies would be more likely to try to get fake reviews from e.g. German customers.
That sounds like a different theorem. While it conincides with sums of squares of distances for the Euclidean setting, for the case of a sphere or other manifold it is decidedly about triangles, not so much distances.
Rust has plenty of advanced language features that can entertain the same kind of people who enjoy writing C++ template metaprogramming as a brain teaser.

I skimmed the literature a bit, and the results on this seem to be pretty mixed. Basically, exercise boosts serum BDNF, except when it doesn't. In particular, it doesn't seem to be clear what the necessary conditions are for a sustained effect on BDNF, as opposed to a previously sedentary/untrained person getting a transient boost from a single bout of exercise. One study's [1] introduction summarized it thus (a lot of parenthetical citations removed for brevity/readability):

> Animal studies have implicated the neurotrophin BDNF and the growth factor IGF‐1 in mediating the beneficial effects of exercise on hippocampal function and structure as well as cognition. In humans, findings are less clear since exercise‐induced increases in peripheral BDNF have been consistently shown only immediately after a single bout of aerobic exercise. Studies involving longer exercise interventions (i.e., 6 weeks up to 1 year) have reported mixed results. While the majority of reports have found no changes in circulating BDNF and IGF‐1 at the end of the training period, Zoladz and colleagues (2008) demonstrated increased plasma BDNF after 5 weeks of endurance training in physically active male adults. Further, Leckie et al. (2014) found that 1 year of moderate‐intensity walking significantly elevated serum BDNF only in individuals older than 65 years of age. Lastly, Heisz et al. (2017) reported that, although no group differences in serum BDNF were found following 6 weeks of high‐intensity interval training in young adults, participants with greater fitness improvements had higher serum BDNF levels than their counterparts with lower fitness gains.

This was a reply to another comment in the thread that suggested a user use sqlite. I commented using the Octal ios app. Not sure why it didn’t post it correctly....
Yes. Twenty+ years ago. Crazy stuff. I wouldn’t want to take it recreationally, too risky I think. You get truly confused and risk having very bad experiences (I’ve had those and they can be like living a nightmare that you cannot wake up from).

But, it also gave me some interesting experiences, like the confusion of senses. Truly smelling colors was a weird one, one that I remember very vividly.
Other than that, it’s lots of fireworks for the mind.
It’s rather more tricky than the sleeping barber. It’s more that their are 100 hairdressers, each household has a set of seven of them and each hairdresser only has a fixed amount of hair colour so not everybody will be served, and you need to be able to repeat the visits deterministically based on a random seed so the only whole process is verifiable.
Well, it all depends on what operations you need.
exact key lookup/write? -> Easy, just use any KV store and append the version to the key, then do a ceil/floor lookup in the KV with the key+target version.

Supporting efficient range scans is hard though.

EDIT: yeah, OLAP will be hard.

I had the great pleasure of adminstrating and deploying AIX for 6 years. It really is an extremely solid OS. During that time I also worked with HP-UX, which compared to AIX felt stuck in some oldschool UNIX limbo especially concerning storage handling felt extremely clunky. As mentioned in the article AIX's LVM implementation is a joy to use giving the administrator the ability to extend and SHRINK a live filesystem and LVM mirroring with AIX was rock solid. The AIX LPAR technology was very impressive and fun to work with. Perhaps the years have given my memories a rosy taint but working solely Linux now (OpenShift), I sort of miss those days with AIX.
Ignoring my main concern that any digital project led by the current government will no doubt fail and be used as another excuse to funnel billions to "friends" (not alarmist, but fact), as someone else comments:

"It’s not just about government. Introduce a digital ID and instantly it’ll become a requirement to give your digital ID to do anything at all - register a mobile phone, a bank account, an online shop, a library, a pub ... anything. Thus, as the article says, your whole life can be linked together and surveilled, not only by government but by dozens of unaccountable corporations."
"Note: The complaints and the event itself happened in 2014."
> If they completely flip to the opposite position on an issue, the response is often that both their earlier position was correct and that their new position is also correct.

A wonderful thing about nuance is that this is often ok.

Sometimes, their actual earlier position and new position are consistent. But will anyone listen if they try to explain why? Usually not.
This thread is about Black Lives Matter, which is a movement focused on the injustice of police brutality and criminal justice reform. Your point - which I take to be that that tribalism is bad - is less potent because you pointed out “forgetfulness” of people who support black lives matter but not in people who support the status quo of police use of power, which seems to be a demonstration of tribalism rather than a repudiation if it.
The people of Hong Kong aren't to blame for the original injustice, so why are they the ones being victimised?
I received one of these packages from singapore yesterday. There is no website on the packaging or inside of the envelope. Therefore, I don't understand the amazon review thing. Its just a package of seeds in a manila envelope.

This is a hard comparison because pretty much all of these libraries call a BLAS implementation under the hood, so what you might be comparing is actually the cost of stuffing the array with your data in each language (which is obviously task specific).

I think it'd be difficult to argue one way or another: Eigen gives you flexibility one way (custom kernels) and Python gives you another (interactive debugging and easy visualization). Cython/Numba make it even more muddied.
For me, I don't believe I really ever saw anything that was different than reality, but the attention to my senses was heightened. It was a new curiosity about everything I saw or heard. if you wave your hand in front of your face there's a trail behind it. This sort of thing is heightened. I remember going to a racquetball court and it seems like they were many balls in the court when there actually there was only one. I went on top of a mountain and looked down at the trees below and it was almost like the trees were vibrating with life. I remember the sound of super Mario jumping giving me the giggles because the sound was completely different and interesting and it reverberated through the room. So there is a certain curiosity that is derived from the senses. That was my experience
