I'm a San Diego resident that was falsely accused of a serious offense a few years ago. Surveillance footage from a restaurant saved me from prosecution.

I know that this is a minority opinion, but I'm in favor of cameras in public places. There will always be the potential for abuse even with strong restrictions, but I think the benefits are worth it.
10 years ago (!) Instapaper changed its tune and started requiring emails for new accounts. Before it had not required emails (just usernames) and even didn't require passwords, and after living with that for years Marco decided to switch back to the more traditional form.

https://blog.instapaper.com/post/2318776738

It's interesting to think that times may have changed and that people are hesitant to give out their email addresses anymore, but you are giving up some real benefits by leaving it out.
I think plenty of people will just wear masks in public in general going forward. There's really barely any downside. If anything, hiding my face in public & making me less approachable is worth it without the health benefits!
Communication For Designers – When communication is conflated with “sales pitch”
One more than "good", actually phenomenal thing about LetsEncrypt from my experience is their community. It is pure gold. People are super helpful in the https://community.letsencrypt.org/ forum. I had issues on setting it up and lots of people got involved and helped me out, the responsiveness, the cordiality, that is high quality "support" that no money can pay.
Haha! Using Thoreau's essays to defend rioters and looters plus criminals being killed by "racist policing..." Welcome to the internet, where the real problem is. A place where one criminal's death (2.9e-10 of the population) can be glorified and shared as fuel to spark outrage amongst entire cities to destroy innocent people's lives and homes.
It's not healthy long term though because humans have to exchange bacteria and get sick.
That's another thing I've wondered about. Did the Apple I also output 7 pixels per character? Since it doesn't do color and doesn't care about the color burst frequency, it's free to use any size of pixel it wants. With a 5x7 font, I would have guessed that 6 pixels per char would be simpler.
That was James Clapper I belive you're thinking:

There are much better ways to reduce criminality that don't violate our privacy. As long as those solutions haven't been tried seriously, as they have worked in other countries, then there is no justification for this.
I think your tone is a little abrupt, but I'm all for laws that mandate, at the very least, high level descriptions of data processing algorithms.

A bit of random adjunct, but if I buy a piece of KFC, how would I know if I'm allergic to one of the 11 herbs and spices, if the company isn't legally obliged to reveal it?

Likewise, how would you know if a company is processing data for a nefarious end, if you don't know how it's processed?

I know alruism seems unlikely, but how can you be so sure?
I don't think this is "contempt for users," it's a position that configurations that appear to setup a web server to run without monitoring for years are deceptive and harmful to the admin taken in by them. It's an ethical (and technical) position that tools should push their users to adopt maintenance practices that are seen as responsible by the wider community. It's not contempt to inform people about the level of work you expect is required to do what they are planning. It's also, if letsencrypt happens to be wrong, not contemptuous to be wrong!
"Teach people the proper techniques."

I read quite a long article once, it was about efforts to teach Iraqi farmers how to use modern techniques and modern equipment.

The main problem they encountered wasn't conservative mindset. No, the farmers were willing to try something new.

It was missing infrastructure. Once you start using any sophisticated equipment, you need repairs, distribution of spare parts, good documentation in local language etc. Such a system is not easy to set up in a really foreign country, much less so if security is problematic.

> Maybe once you've made a small committment it's easier to make a bigger committment.

It's definitely not the whole story, but this is a pretty well-studied thing in psychology. A similar trick in social engineering is to ask your mark for a small favor, which will make them more likely to do you a bigger favor later. I've read about it many times, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called...
From the article

> In the first two weeks of August, the who processed nearly 200,000 influenza tests, and found just 46 were positive. In a typical year, the number would be closer to 3,500.

So sounds like this is based on a test, making misclassification unlikely to be the root cause?
Init only setters are a dream come true. Property initializer syntax to me is very readable and lack of read-only support after initialization was the main reason i avoided using it
The prologue to Underworld is amazing and can stand alone as a story in its own right. If you like that, then you're likely to like the rest of the immense book. White Noise is the obvious other recommendation. I also really enjoyed the Body Artist (and it's very slim).
A lot of replies to my comments mention environmental pollution. I definitely agree there is less now. I was recently shocked to see that the once nasty brown river that runs through my home town is now Nile blue. The numbers on pollution levels agree with this anecdote too.

However, no one I asked had seen a horned toad or armadillo in years. And these are definitely the kind of folks that used to. Cicadas used to deafening on summer evenings, but now they were barely audible. Sample size = 1, but the numbers seem to bear out these anecdotes too.

It's totally possible for both of these to be true. Pollution can go down at the same time that animal populations are suppressed for some other reason.
Yeah, I have a number that I "hand over" and another number I don't. The public number is inundated with spam SMS to the point that I don't even bother checking them anymore. And this is with pretty conservative behavior: even though I have a dedicated number for this purpose I still avoid entering it unless I absolutely have to.
"What if I have no children but I have a grandparent who is ill and requires care"

At least where I work you are entitled to the same leave that is being offered to parents to help anyone in your family/household/etc.

"Perhaps we should relax the expectations for EVERYONE and not find one circumstance more special than others"

Like other parents I made it clear to my boss that if I was required to work from home my productivity would be lower because there is a toddler running around my workspace. It is not that my circumstance is "more special" as much as that I am being required to work from an environment that makes work more difficult. My company operates a large system of offices for the purpose of providing employees with a workspace that improves productivity and I have been forbidden to enter any of those offices for six months.

(Just to be clear on what it means for a toddler to play in your workspace, given the opportunity my son will try to "type" on my keyboard and wreak havoc on whatever code I am writing. If I close the door, he will start banging on it and then crying if nobody opens it up. If I step into the kitchen to get some coffee he will chase after me and demand that I read him a book, and if I go back to my workspace he will start crying. My son is starting to figure out doorknobs and it is likely that by the end of this month I will not actually be able to keep him out of my workspace by closing the door.)
Bluetooth Bug Opens Devices to Man-in-the-Middle Attacks
We make people cover certain small parts of their bodies which were historically found “obscene” to expose which circumvents the free expression right and those requirements don’t exist in many places and are generally eroding. You can’t make the same argument about masks.

Even now nowhere is it actually required to wear a mask in public. Go read an order, they’re all written in ways that say “you must” but carve out exceptions which make them impossible to enforce if they were backed by enforcement at all. This isn’t true inside commercial establishments but only in public.

If tested in court they would all fall flat that dont rely specifically on the government power to regulate commerce.
I've played every Civilization since the first one, I believe. I think 4 was my favorite, especially since it had the best music. I sing old music professionally, and it was such a treat to enter a new era and hear some of the best musicians in the world singing actual music of the era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g7jOKLUus8

(the music in that video is by John Sheppard, a decidedly Renaissance composer (not Medieval, as indicated by the game), but the music is so good that I can absolutely forgive that inaccuracy).

Lately I've been wavering from the series though. My biggest complaint is that every game is so long and requires so much micromanagement in the mid-late game. Even at the fastest setting, a full game seems to take at least 10-20 hours. Sometimes I just want to go through the tech tree in a different world without having to spend such large amounts of time on it.
The gag about not being to plug the USB cable in correctly was a nice touch
My point was that RDP, the protocol, works very well and is able to adapt to network conditions.

For your "nested session", the problem is that the adaptive nature of the protocol breaks down if the first hop has a very good connection to the destination. However, you're holding^w using it wrong. In this kind of scenario, I think MS recommends using a remote desktop gateway, which also works very well. I think one of the great advantages of RDP over ssh X forwarding is that it can use UDP.

I definitely dislike how you have to have a Windows server installation and specific license to set up remote app, though. But I've filed this under "it's Microsoft, what can you expect?".

I also find windows administration horrible, be it via remote desktop or keyboard plugged directly in the server. I grew up with Linux and macOS, so it was always a pain when I absolutely had to give someone a hand with something windows-related (my client has a bunch of Windows servers).

But still, I'm not the kind to throw away the baby with the bathwater and to think that if I generally dislike and would avoid a company's products every single thing that they do is bad. I really wish Linux could have something similar to RDP in performance. It makes me sad when I vnc to a computer across the room and the thing lags more than RDP to some windows box in another country.

edit: Regarding your having to work with several RDP sessions at the same time, it baffles me that the worst RDP client I have ever used is the windows one. I don't use windows on my machines, and the Linux client (Remmina) is absolutely a dream, especially when running on i3 (so there's no conflict with win / alt-tab / etc). Also, MS's mac client works very well and there's no key conflicts there either. You may want to look into the new Remote Desktop app on windows (not quite sure what it's called, it's on the windows store). It now supports window resizing and easier switching between sessions.
It's also well over $1000. I imagine that's not the competition that AMD is going after this iteration. They probably want to compete with the graphics card people will actually buy.
That title brought back memories of some really old MUDs that would let you chat escape codes (mostly meant to make colorful chats in ANSI color), and you could chat the bell escape code to make everyone's PC beep. But it also kind of froze the computer for a second, so you could send a bunch of them and freeze everyone (including yourself).
I wouldn’t describe role=presentation like that. Rather, it says “ignore what you know about what this element should be, pretend it doesn’t exist and only consider its children”. Technically, that is “replace this node in the accessibility tree with its children”. And then in the case of <img> specifically, it doesn’t have any children, so the effect is removing the entire thing from the accessibility tree, same as an empty alt attribute or aria-hidden=true.

Specifically I’m finding fault with “the screen reader can determine what it wants to do with it”. This isn’t true because the screen reader will never see the image, because the browser removed it from the accessibility tree.

But yeah, https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#presentation_role lists this as the first of three common uses of role=presentation:

> Hiding a decorative image; it is equivalent to giving the image null alt text.

But still I echo how jscholes ends, and how the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices document starts: No ARIA is better than Bad ARIA. Be careful what you do if you’re straying from the beaten track, and test things out. In view of this, I will confirm that I have not tested anything that I have said in this comment in order to verify it, though I believe that my mental model of how the accessibility tree and the mentioned details works is accurate.
Same reason that McDonald's loses ground to high-end burger joints -- they're about broad, consistent mid-level quality.

If you want something fancy, specialized, or something that isn't designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, then you go to a specialty / local place.
For EC2 instances and the like it will be almost all X86 for a long time.

But much of the cloud is made up of services like S3, RDS, Redshift, Route 53, etc. ARM can be very competitive for many of these.
Amateur diagnoses of psychological conditions by someone who has never interacted with the patient in a clinical setting deserves to be downvoted. The problem there is that you wrap it in terms that mean something, but you don't have the education or access to use those words correctly.

It's irresponsible and amounts to un-informed gossip that questions who someone is at their core.
This isn't applicable to 64-bit Arm at the user application level, don't worry about it.

Prior to that, unaligned memory accesses were perfectly usable on ARMv7 (and even v6) too, this was fixed a while ago.
Unless I missed something in the article, this has nothing to do with sensor or lens size. This is purely an artifact of default image processing settings and ignorance of white balance. Any user with any digital camera can perfectly capture the color of the scene by simply setting the white balance manually to daylight.

Realistically, the gentleman would be without clothes, but because of the times and the fact that the company did not sell smelling salts, they chose to keep the model clothed.
Thanks! I have been hearing the plugin feedback a lot lately, and I will be thinking about making a plugin API in the future.
This seems more like a reason to avoid Dell than AMD.
I politely claim that your view is unrealistic (for published content). You may legally own it, but the instant you make content available to a party other than yourself, you lose any guarantee that you control it. Like I said in my earlier comment, if I find your site and like it, it gets downloaded and saved into my archive. Somebody else could trivially copy and paste or screenshot it to facebook.

I feel similarly to you: I want to own and control what I create. However I'm also realistic about the consequences of publishing it, so I don't publish anything I create beyond personally showing stuff to people who are close to me, and preferably from my own equipment directly. Unless you're doing the same, you don't actually control your content.

This may seem like a neurotic approach, but if you actually care about your content, it's not. It's not difficult to find cases of content being stolen and reused without the creator knowing; e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7ZQoN6UrEw
While I don't like Midnight Commander's keybindings, do note that it can do quite a bit that Norton couldn't (e.g. ssh - incredibly handy).

If you want a closer clone to Norton Commander, try FAR Manager: https://www.farmanager.com/ (Windows only)
Tearing has nothing to do with network transparency and everything to do with crappy closed source drivers. Xorg on Windows doesn't have these problems nor does it on Linux with supported hardware.
I have not heard it lately, but a few months ago I heard that Uhaul can't keep their trucks in certain places. Anecdotally, there is also account from several places of people being upset that out of state people are flooding in, e.g., certain areas of FL, ID, MT, UT, Texas (more than usual). It's either the more not-liberal minded people finally getting that last push to make a major change, or it may be a broader movement of people in way that is not being reported/investigated. Considering the changes to the mortgage interest deduction and the standard deduction in general, I could see these draconian dictates in certain states pushing people to make the jump.
You assume I assume. This is well documented and highly reported on.

"According to a recent study by Edison Research, Facebook is hemorrhaging users in the US, losing about 15 million people since 2017. The largest drop is among teen users and millennials."

"As of February 2019, 62% of 12-34 year olds in the US log into Facebook. This is down from 79% in 2017, and represents about 11 million of of the overall decrease"

"Senior citizens in the US are the fastest growing group of Facebook users, nearly doubling in numbers between 2012 and 2019, a vast shift from the platform’s beginnings as a service for college students."

Hearing younger folks say the same thing first hand only validates the research and the numerous articles. All of the statistical data can be skewed and I imagine any small study (pew, edison) is going to have different results. So where does that leave me? We'll when you have backyard full of teenagers that are all well off with mobile devices and all of them tell you facebook is for boomers and talking to grandma, that tends to hold a little weight coupled with some of the statistical data. Interestingly enough we can find data that makes the opposite claim so what does one do when presented with competing data? They use the data they have which in this case is directly from a reputable demographic/source.
Because covering your junk is based on judeo-christian morals which are reflected in our law in ways that certain “obscene” things have historically fallen outside of free expression rights... those are going away and you won’t successfully argue that not wearing a mask is obscene.
It seems like this approach (including the major version number in the package name) has been practiced at the distro level for a long time. E.g. SDL 1.2 vs 2.0 have distinct package names on every distro I'm aware of.
I believe the term you're looking for is "plausible deniability".
> Please do not go out and about if you have symptoms.

This is hardly a rule that anyone follows, unless symptoms are severe. That's one of the reasons COVID spreads more widely than the flu - mild symptoms don't make anyone change behavior.

Just as a data point: I'm a member of several Discord communities, none of which are gaming-related.

I've also noticed more recently that people are starting Discord communities around all kinds of non-gaming topics. Very commonly they seem to revolve around a public persona, like a YouTube celebrity, a musician, or a podcast host.

AllenAct: An open source framework for research in Embodied AI
5 years of process stagnation (Intel) will do that. Samsung's 8nm process used in Nvidia's cards is not as good as TSMC 7nm and that shows in their power consumption. Historically Nvidia's architectural efficiency has been much higher so it's not a given that RDNA2 will be more efficient even with the process advantage.
Civ 6 seems like a game where it would have been good for them to add hooks for people to add their own AIs easily.

I suspect the built in AI does okay if you place units in a limited area (which is likely how they tested it), but it struggles getting armies around the full game map with complex borders.
They're implying that you're not a hacker because you appear to lack the hacker's mindset. Maybe you have it for some interests but not others but from the hackers that I've seen it's usually a driver for much of their technology interaction.
I suppose my heckling comes down to being skeptical that you are as adamant about shouting down nipple restrictions.
Personally I haven't been hit with spam to truly random addresses with my catchall. Is that a common issue people run into?

The spam I've received on my catchall is either based on previously breached sites (which I once signed up to) or to very common mailbox names (e.g. postmaster@, info@). I just add those to an auto-reject postfix filter based on the intended recipient, which keeps my inbox very clean.
> There are 308,915,776 unique six-letter identifiers. Go to eight and you have 208,827,064,576 names to choose from.

To be scrupulously fair, no one wants to name their package "udjwhc"; the problem is more "protobuf" (by google) vs "protobuf" (by someone other than google), both implementing similar but subtly different interfaces for doing the thing they're named after.
Performance too. Wayland adds at least one extra frame of latency and so is unsuitable for gaming and similar scenarios where one program needs to monopolize the framebuffer
I'm almost positive that if you're talking about AMD GPU's your going to be out of luck. For Deep Learning especially NVIDIA is really the only serious option.

Seconded. I've been working on a webapp that's meant to work on iOS and I haven't figured out any way to debug it from my Linux machine, even with my phone being jailbroken.
