> How does the first amendment protect your right to photograph others

I'll leave you to read the numerous SCOTUS rulings (and, for the purposes of freedom in other jurisdictions, analogous court rulings) instead of trying to explain myself.

In short: the fact that a photon bounces off of your face does not entitle you to control every person who might capture it, in perpetuity, throughout time and space.

I was born with eyes capable of a materially identical task as a CMOS sensor: must I look away any time you I see you in public? Must I refrain from remembering that I saw you? If I testify that you shot my friends and neighbors with impact munitions - a nightly occurrence in this city - will it be as reliable as if I had photographed you and compared your face to an index of known violent repressive forces in Portland?

I find this logic to be the maximal case for ego: to believe it, you have to believe that light itself is made for you alone.

> how does it protect your doing whatever you want with that photo

Do you generally dispute that people have a right to think about and process data however they wish? Must I cover my ears if a state secret is uttered by a journalist or friend? Must I refrain from thinking critically about whether it implicates a powerful person in criminal activity?

Well, isn't it the same if we, the people of Portland, seek to compile photographs of police officers who have been repeatedly abusing and terrorizing us and use them to recognize their faces?

> their right to privacy, which is clearly secured by the forth amendment?

I know of no such plausible argument being made about the faces of people appearing in public, and certainly no actual jurisprudence in the Western legal tradition.

When in public, you can be reported on. You can be photographed and recorded. If you decide to spray chemical weapons at people, you can be held accountable.

> You don't have an unlimited right to publish other people's imagery for commercial purposes absent permission, even if they are photographed in public

You 100% absolutely do if it is in public when it comes to publishing, even commercial publishing. Where do you think news gets their photos? Travel magazines? Professional photographers? You don’t need permission to publish or sell a photograph taken in a public place regardless of who or how many people are in it.

The techempower benchmark predates me and original drafts of my blogpost mention it but I suppose that got cut for various reasons.

The trouble with that benchmark is that (and they're fairly open about this) they aren't keeping things the same between frameworks - there are multiple variables. If you look at the Flask code all the queries are being put through SQLAlchemy but for various async frameworks they're using the database driver directly and using native code libraries for JSON decoding.

I think techempower's benchmarks are interesting but they don't help you do a comparision of async vs sync.

Additionally on the particular benchmark you've linked to #1 is a dead experimental framework that is not in wide use and #2 is Falcon, a sync framework that is in wide use.
Ada isn't not dead yet, in fact NVidia choose Ada in detriment of Rust for their automated vehicles project.

It is also one of the few languages that has managed to keep a room at FOSDEM since I can remember.

It might be dead for FOSS hype projects, but in real life production code that actually affect people's lives, still has more deployments per year than most Rust projects.

They are fundamentally different philosophies to coffee.

Starbucks, as a large business, needs to worry about creating a consistent product which appeals to a wide range of consumers which have an expectation of what their coffee will taste like from week to week.

Smaller shops often cater to subcultures looking for ‘interesting’ coffee, so they often source characterful single-origin coffees and don’t worry about their week-to-week consistency so much, since their customer base will often accept this inconsistency in exchange for the extra character they’ll get.

I’d thus also argue that Starbucks coffee isn’t necessarily worse (even though I count among the independent-coffee shop fans), but that it is a different drink altogether.

Coffee is not unique in this kind of specialty fragmentation. It exists in craft beer, single malt whiskies etc.
I saw that sentence about it, but accepting 7 out of more than 200 countries seems incredibly limiting to me. The bit about expansion, it seems not much more than a vague promise.

> It's 8 K B per thread, so you can scale a thousand times further than you thought. One dark secret of the async movement is that if your goal is C10K (10,000 concurrent clients) then actually bog standard threading will handle that fine these days.

Default virtual memory allocation for threads on Linux distributions tends to be 8 megabytes. Actual memory used is the peak stack depth used, rounded up a bit. It'd be pretty unusual to only use as little as 8 kilobytes per thread; just the standard per-thread libc context information for concurrency is a few kilobytes, plus at least one page of stack, plus the kernel's information about the thread (which isn't counted against the process)...

Yes, you can spawn thousands of threads on relatively modest hardware; I was spawning thousands of threads a decade ago.

Spawning 5000 bare-minimal python threads that do nil seems to use about 300 megs of ram on my system; real threads that do anything substantial will use a whole lot more, even if their use of the stack depth is intermittent.

Not to mention allocators that cache part of freed heap per-thread, etc.
So if I develop StreamApp today that runs apps in the cloud and just streams the view over the net, and somehow polish the integration with iOS so it is good enough (sharing etc.), would this argument change?

My understanding is that the "traditional" notion of civil disobedience excludes acts of violence (the crimes that the parent was probably referring to) and for the participants to be willing to accept punishment for the law that they are breaking (i.e. you must be prepared to be arrested, fined, etc.).

The point is to show respect for the rule of law while at the same time calling attention to an injustice.

The notion that you can commit arson, theft, assault, vandalism, and so on with impunity as long as you self-proclaim you are doing it for a just cause is not what "civil disobedience" is about, IMHO.

Your reference to the founding of America only seems relevant if you think the current government is illegitimate and needs to be replaced forcefully and in its entirety (i.e. you are making a revolutionary argument). If someone wants to make that argument then I think they should be able to justify that drastic measure with a rationale that is a bit more coherent than protest slogans and be able to explain what they intend to put in place instead of the current government.

Hi, very interesting tool. Thanks for sharing.
While playing with it, I see some weights that are confusing. In some portfolios I see weights that are > 1 as well as some that are -ve (and I have long only portfolios) - so not sure how to interpret this (does >1 mean use leverage?
I haven't read the blogs in detail yet, but are these portfolio weights static (ie equivalent to buy and hold in these ratios)? Is there anything like recomputing weights periodically and rebalancing the portfolio?
I was about writing that I have tried medication and for me it doesn't help against that, but this was some seriously interesting reading!
No what I am thinking is that the top tier of male athletes is probably significantly heavier than the top tier of female athletes, probably there is a height difference too. I might be wrong but it seems if the goal is just to make sure people competing against each other are within the same tiers of athletics, there may be other ways to do that.

But I have not really done any research on how the top men under x pounds compare to the top woman under x pounds, so their performance might not be comparable

I know you're talking about within an organization, but this made me realize how long it's been since I've used a client like Pidgin/Adium/bitlbee that could handle multiple chat protocols all from one client.

I'm pretty sure the majority of the protocols I used to use in these apps aren't even around anymore (other than irc and xmpp).
Charge for new features like traditional software did. Subscription software is literally rent-seeking... pay forever or your stuff stops working.

"It is the almost hilarious case, but perfectly true, that while the CIA "cousins" use banks of computers in which are stored millions and millions of facial features to try to match up the incoming daily flow of photographs, Britain uses Blodwyn.

An elderly and often ill-used lady, forever harassed by her younger male colleagues for a quick identification, Blodwyn has been in the job forty years and works underneath Sentinel House, where she presides over the huge archive of pictures that make up MI6's "mug book." Not a book at all, it is in fact a cavernous vault where are stored rows and rows of volumes of photographs, of which Blodwyn alone possesses an encyclopedic knowledge.

Her mind is something like the CIA's computer bank, which she can occasionally defeat. In her memory is stored not the tiniest detail of the Thirty Years' War or even the Wall Street stock prices; her mind stores faces. Shapes of noses, lines of jaws, casts of eyes; the sag of a cheek, the curve of a lip, the way a glass or cigarette is held, the glint of a capped tooth in a smile taken in an Australian pub and showing up years later in a London supermarket--all are grist to the mill of her remarkable memory."

So the negative weights are just ignored during the forward and back tests. They are there just to show you the raw portfolios without any filtering.

As for the other question, the weights are just proportions of your money that you should put in each stock. If a weight is negative, that means just short with that proportion. You can simply normalize the weights to sum up to one if it's harder to read them without them being normalized.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to answer.

There's probably almost two sub-markets in gaming.

There's the crowd that ogles price-performance, that buys things like Ryzen 3600s and RX480s and 1050s. They're DIY builders.

Then you've got the splash-the-cash crowd, who buy machines from boutique shops and expensive prebuilds with $500 paint jobs on the case and "We have a GPU that's 2% faster and 40% more expensive". Apple could potentially build something in that niche.

However, their shift to home-built silicon is not going to do them any favours as long as most gaming takes place on Windows.

Same list but with population >10M.

Belgium

Sweden
France

So 4 countries worse and 5 better. If you count excess deaths then Netherlands is also worse than Sweden so 5 worse and 4 better.

Anyway the point is that counting UK, Spain and Italy with the same weight as countries one tenth of their size doesn't make much sense.

I have done this! It's harder/more stressful than you might think, but it's absolutely possible. We installed relay radios powered off the photocell plugs to bring low-speed internet to a family friend's farm, so the actual installation doesn't even involve wires between poles, just shims under the streetlamp photocells. Presumably they'll get knocked out when the streetlamps are upgraded... but it's been six years so far with no issues.

This seems to be an incomplete logical deduction.

Premise:
A) many people prefer other coffee
B) Starbucks has the resources to make high quality coffee

Assumption: Starbucks values high quality coffee as it's own end or needs to have good coffee too compete in the marketplace

Reality : Starbucks does not care about coffee quality as it's own end, only about profits, and they judge their current quality level to be the correct tradeoff for maximizing profits.

My wife really likes Scrabble, in-person ideally, but on-line as well. The iOS app was something you could sign in to, or play as guest, but with login you could play your friends. It was clearly buggy as hell, unstable, with all sorts of weird quirks. When it worked though, it was fine (enough).

They've basically started shoving users away, and now there's a new app. I think you might have to sign in with Facebook or some such nonsense, but anyway, it's like the expectation is that it's hung over a baby's crib. Flashy blinking cruft everywhere, and of course the board is shrunk to make room for the superfluous, distracting crap.

Can't you (ie the programmer) still use them though? You can write C11 code which freely calls the C99 API. By using C99 the API is compatible with a wider range of compilers and callable from a broader range of languages.

(Also where would the API itself have benefited in any significant way from the use of atomics or generics? Recall that compiler support for atomics is optional in C11.)
If the false positive mechanism is contaminating one sample with another, the false positive rate will depend on the true positive rate in the samples that the lab/testing site is processing. The other possibility would be if positive control amplicon contaminated the lab, which does happen.

Right, and anybody who knows enough to ask you about sidelobes likely also knows enough to know that too.

That's why, if you reply that "there are no sidelobes" you're only harming your own credibility.

A good reply is something like "there are sidelobes, but they peak at -{believable number} dB and are contained to within {small area}. We believe this is more than sufficient to address sidelobe concerns because of {standards}".

That's a reply that earns trust.
To my knowledge, the most common failure mode is that the concentration of viral RNA in the sample is below the limit of detection. This could be because the swab wasn't done correctly, the patient wasn't shedding very much virus, the sample was mishandled (heat can break down the sample), or the sample wasn't adequately mixed.
