Why prepare when you can just bully people into doing what you want (in person school). No options will cause most people to just go along.
This is all by design. I plan to vote out every member of my school board except the one guy who actually responded to my emails.
It is a video app. Couldn't you embed the embargoed data into the media content using steganography. All the receiver of the data would need to do is download a modified version of the client, then collect the data. From the server side it would just look like a normal TikTok app watching videos.

Yeah, ironically COBOL is more modern than C in language features, yet C seems to still be quite appreciated for a 50 years old language.
I'm constantly baffled by the number of tech-literate people who don't use ad blockers. I don't know how they can stand it.
1. The diagram is saved in the localstorage only when the save button (or Ctrl + S) is pressed. I think I should add a warning message when navigated away without saving.

2. I am also adding a feature to export diagram and save in your computer and import later.

3. I just realized that there is no way to start a new diagram without deleting the existing icons :). I will add this feature too.

Thanks for the feedback and trying out the app.

The signup feature (coming soon) will enable you to save diagrams in the cloud and edit anywhere. Right now everything happens in your browser.
You’d be surprised. From experience most people I’ve known with gambling addictions could go on the worlds longest luck streak, win all the money in the world, and then figure out a way to gamble more. The station in life thing just gets redefined and redefined because the addiction is to (imo) the chemical madhouse that goes on in your brain when you’re in the thick of it.
Data is a copyable asset. Most other assets are not.

Any copyable asset is worth zero as long as any copy is in the hands of someone likely to make more copies.
I mean, it's 'whaboutism' by some definitions, it's just that those definitions aren't the ones that the rest of the world uses. :~)
I think you may have misunderstood my post. I was asking how that particular employer handled the topic with its employees.

I'm trying to understand how much negotiating power software developers have with their employers these days; in general and on this topic in particular.
There is an old line of thought on this, that views DNA/RNA as crystals. Crystals branch out/reproduce in predictable or unpredictable ways depending on scale. At large scales a dry lakebed may seem a mass of randomly-aligned crystals but at the smallest scale each crystal is identical. They each formed from the same starting conditions from which random precursors settled into identical patterns. Such logic would suggest that DNA/RNA, if beginning in near-identical conditions, might also settle into nearly-identical patterns. At large scales the crystals would appear different and random but at the smallest scales life could well be similar or even identical... if one sees life as a form of crystal.

US Government bodies do a lot of public outreach, many have twitter/social media accounts as part of that effort. There are many reasons for this- the aforementioned help at budget time, Government officials geniunely want to be seen and celebrated as doing a good job, and a surprising amount of belief that the American people should see what "their" government is doing.

The interplay with that last point (belief in transparency) interacts with institutional secrecy in weird and hillarious ways. I remember one project I worked on was shrouded in secracy to the individual teams working on it until a news program showed up and talked to the public affairs office and senior leadership. After watching the broadcast, we all of sudden understood what the heck it was we were working on!

I don't understand why in-person and hybrid would be planned separately. Any realistic plan for in-person has to account for periodic positive tests followed by isolation, that is, you have to plan to be able to switch to virtual with little or no notice if one person in a group is infected. If you planned for in-person without also planning for virtual, you weren't actually planning, you were just bullshitting.
The objections are obvious, which is why I didn’t bother to include them. Anyone can think of them. People don’t bring this idea up, because it’s ridiculous on its face.

But I did bring it up, because I find myself wondering lately about the objections to those objections. Assume the objections; then try to work out a world where this happens anyway. Do we live in a world that’s anything like that world? What would have to be true, for this to end up being what we do?

For example: right now, during this pandemic, we have government medical officers the world over dictating what are effectively bylaws to cities, and what are effectively regulations to businesses. In a climate crisis — say, a country entering permanent heat wave, becoming entirely non-arable where it previously relied on internal food sourcing — could we potentially see see government ecological officers of such countries given similar powers? What would then happen at the UN, if some of those countries were prominent members?

Etc.

Keep in mind that I’m a science-fiction novelist, not a futurist. I care a lot more about the could-happen than the will-happen. :)

Some (including myself) would argue that a repeal of section 230 would go a long way towards solving some of these issues.

A large part of the problem is that social media companies algorithmically serve content to serve their purposes, but are not liable for the consequences of algorithmically served content.

To me, using an algorithm to select what content to show a user is exactly the same thing newspapers do: editorializing. I don't understand why its treated any differently.
Don't they basically have a massive fleet of buses that cart in all the kids to work who cannot afford to live within 10 miles of the place? Are those buses natural gas?
That was perhaps misleading phrasing. Animals have both true multicellularity (shared with plants, fungi, and some other algae), and much higher behavioural complexity. Multicellularity is almost certainly necessary for behavioural complexity, but it obviously isn't sufficient, because as cool as plants and fungi are, you don't see any of them doing anything that one can imagine leading to intelligence in any form that we'd recognise.

Now, broadly, I think (in my capacity as an armchair biologist) what we care about here is an nervous system, or something like it that is capable of fast communication and complex feedback loops that can be built into complex "computation". Interestingly, nervous systems aren't present in sponges, which are most likely the basal animal group (and which are immobile), but are present in all other animals. I'm therefore speculating that "able to develop a nervous system" could be the filter we care about for behavioural complexity.

Being non-photosynthetic (so more advantage to being able to move around and find food), not having cell walls (so potentially more able to be motile, and form flexible structures), as well as just whether there are existing cellular pathways that control ion gradients in a way that can be co-opted for communication (which are present in sponges) all seem like plausible things that could predispose a multicellular organism to develop nerves, but if it is a filter, it could well also be that it's really hard to develop something as complicated as nerves, and an early animal got very lucky.
No. Use Bitmask
It it strange phrasing to be sure. I interpreted it as sooner from birth (at younger ages).
I don't have hard data about the second part, but it strikes me as the two cash streams would be largely separate for most people who live in Las Vegas.

I posit that they'll simply carry around the "cashout" tickets, and scan them back into the system the next time they visit the casino. I hypothesize that they rarely, if ever, actually cash out.
It's still insane that parts + labor costs £700 for a keyboard. I bet the part costs £70. I highly doubt labor could be reasonable valued at £630.

Offsets are better than nothing, but they're not sustainable. Low-hanging fruit will be used up at some point, and actually removing CO2 from the atmosphere is really expensive (most optimistic figure I've seen anywhere estimates $50/ton for the mid-to-long term). So the incentive is to push for actually zero emissions instead of net zero.

And as sibling comment mentions, climate change is bad for business too, so that's the incentive for net-negative.

The act of spinning the wheel is its own reward, dopamine wise. The anticipation of winning it big. The colorful displays. The hope as the wheel looks like it's going to land on the big payout. Even losing is its own rush.

And if you do win... can cashing out for boring dollars ever compare to the excitement of being allowed to spin the wheel again - for the chance of an even bigger prize?
So was I, but it's the social aspects - the clubs, and maintaining your standing in the club structure - that are the incentive.

I can certainly see that being enough to persuade some people to spend hundreds, maybe even thousands. But there are always outliers, which is why I can swallow the idea - even though it's bonkers - that somebody might spend $400k over 8 years, or still be spending $600/month even though they know it's bad for them.

What do you do with it? I remember trying it out like 2 years ago and didn't find it that engaging / useful / interesting that I would want one at home.
Yup. Notice that this can't work on WebAuthn (or its predecessor U2F), which is why everything should do WebAuthn and you should ignore attempts to downgrade you to any other method.

An attacker can play the legitimate WebAuthn request from the real site, which will (statistically certain) be nonsense if played by their phishing site.

Or they make their own request, which doesn't help them because it's not valid on the real site they want to sign into so it's pointless.
Yet another scenario where we're collectively being bitten in the ass because most of the world is still lacking a proper digital identity system.

If you're thinking that sending pictures of identity documents or bills is going to fix it no, it's clown-tier identity verification and will just postpone the issue a tiny bit with massive human resource cost and false negatives.
Having worked in that industry within the UK, these "requirements" are seldom carried out.
Sorry, but if ARM+Nvidia GPU already runs rings around everyone else besides Apple and Nvidia already has access to all of Arm's IP (and there was no threat of it losing that access) then why does it need acquire ARM to 'solidify' their position?

In reality it's not winning in the mobile SoC market and owning Arm will enable it to hinder its competitors.
Sure, and the article mentions other possible signs of civilization as well, then it goes on to say:

> So it might take both dedicated and novel detection methods to find evidence of a truly short-lived event in ancient sediments. In other words, if you’re not explicitly looking for it, you might not see it. That recognition was, perhaps, the most concrete conclusion of our study.

I'm not bullish on pre-historic civilization, and neither is the article, but the takeaway is we may not have reason to expect that we'd have found these tiny industrialized traces without a search aimed specifically at them. As far as I know, such searches have not been carried out in earnest to date.
Sure, it's a missing feature "," creates 2 spins of the filter.

As a point of order: flooding an engine refers to having so much fuel in the cylinders that it cannot be ignited because there isn't enough air to support combustion.

Filling the cylinders with water results in hydro locking an engine because the liquid cannot be compressed on the compression stroke. This can result in damaging the internal parts of the engine. Bent connecting rods are a common issue.

If you've gotten in deep enough to get water in through the intake manifold, it's quite likely that a great many other things that shouldn't be gotten wet have (wiring, interior, etc.) and it's not just the engine that will need to be replaced.
Hell yeah, a microbe released on Venus atmosphere decades ago and has not only survived, but produces already a measurable atmospheric effect?

That would be a amazing sensation. Terraforming would then be much, much easier, than expected. But I doubt it.

Browsers / webviews must have a special visual state for OAUTH requests. As it is very easy to mimic.
The Great Filter theory has a very big assumption attached to it, and it's troubling that it's seemingly become accepted as fact by the constant references to "The Great Filter" as a real thing. The assumption is that in a universe with other civilizations we'd certainly be aware of them. I can't say what prior we should have on that, but it's definitely not 100%. Certainly if we find bacteria on Venus all of the claims of "The Great Filter was the creation of cells" will be wrong, and in retrospect it will be shocking to think we could be so ignorant as to be unaware of bacteria on our nearest neighbor for so long. In other words, if it took us this long to find bacteria on Venus, why should we assume anything about our ability to determine life beyond our Solar System?
Thanks for the feedback. I will take a look at the bugs :)
>Is it me, or does it seem that the BSDs are really losing more and more mind share as time marches on

Well BSD is dying was said already 15 years ago, BUT the project should be more responsive, an example:

You send in a patch with a updated port, and you wait 3 month until it's in the tree, in the meantime already a new version is out. I think if the users make the work and send in patches (just with a changed version-number and zero or nearly zero dependencies) some porters @ freebsd should act much quicker (some are super fast and helpfull but not as many), otherwise they will change the os or make there own fork of the package tree like i do.
> No, this is false. Banks do not "loan out deposits".

See [0] for an explanation why this is false.

> As long as the bank believes the the risk adjusted return on your stream of payments will exceed the obligation of their IOU, and as long as they have a sufficient amount of capital pledge to cover a percentage of the loan (usually a few percent, again depending on the riskiness of the loan. A non-collateralized business loans requires more of a capital pledge than a collateralized loan) they will go ahead and issue the IOU and create a deposit in your name at the bank for the amount of the loan. Then you can use that deposit at the same bank to pay for the investment you want. Banks create money out of thin air (but not willy-nilly). The amount of money banks create is not constrained by how many deposits they have -- rather the lending of money creates deposits.

This is false, the amount is constrained by regulation and the the regulation requires that loans are made up to a limit of a multiple of deposits on hand.

> The sum total that an economy spends on investment is equal to the sum total that ends up being saved, regardless of how much people in the economy wanted to save. You, as an individual, can of course choose to put a portion of your income in the bank instead of buying some good, but that decision deprives the seller of the good of their income. So while individuals can choose how much of their income to save, their individual decisions in aggregate also determine how much income they earn. If too many people try to save at the same time, total income is reduced and they fail to save. So whether or not the individuals in an economy succeed in reaching their savings targets depends on whether a sufficient amount of investment occurs or not. So you better hope that there is enough investment happening in the economy to meet everyone's savings goals otherwise some people will fail to meet their targets. (Laid off people tend not to achieve their savings targets.)

None of this contradicts what I was saying.

> The ability to pay is determined by your income, which falls if everyone tries to save at the same time.

Only when measured from a baseline where there is no savings.

> Merely abstaining from spending money and letting your financial savings sit idle in a bank deposit does not cause anyone to purchase an investment good, because banks don't lend deposits and deposits don't create loans (see above).

You keep repeating this falsehood but even in a fiat system where money is created out of thin air the amount loaned is tied to the amount deposited by regulation. Other things you have said are quibbles and do not address my points. Savings is defined as deferred consumption and is necessary in order that there be surplus value available to invest. This is basic economics and is true as a matter of identity (if you consume everything there is nothing left to be invested).

Is Tracfone an MVNO in the US?

EDIT: seems they are. I feel it’s weird for the article to start talking about consolidation among the main 3 providers when an MVNO isn’t really in the same business.
The plant will be fine and so will your children and their children. If you live in a low lying area like Maldives then they might not be living where you live now but they will certainly be able to live. Alarmist claims like "everyone will die" only serve to discredit scientists even though they aren't the ones making them.
It was a good explanation of some issues with current social media platforms. But I don't think that ad driven business models and algorithmic content manipulation are the biggest problems we are facing in all this. The fundamental problem is we humans aren't wired to deal with information and social connection and this scale and speed. It's too easy for just about anyone to find and confirm anything they want to believe and so many others that believe it. On the other side of that coin it's too easy for anyone to reach an audience with whatever they want. Focusing on the algorithms and business models is a bit of hubris and a distraction from the harder problem of empowering mobs. I know people caught up in the conspiracy theories. They aren't finding them through Facebook. Some of it is through YouTube rabbit holes but a lot of it is just websites found through Google (which is really just popularity ranking) or text messages shared between friends & family directly. People have these biases and want to believe these things and the access to these easy tools of connection and communication are amplifying us. Maybe regulation, moderation, filtering and defensive algorithms can help? Maybe we will learn to deal with it better and society will change to accommodate it but it's becoming a rough transition at the least.
Humans could have come together and agreed we would move entirely to clean sources of power and be 80% of the way there.

That clearly hasn't happened either.

Surely you've been in a meeting room with more than about 5 people? All of those people have conflicting viewpoints, theories about the situation, risk analysis and so on.

Can you imagine being a board member who spent 30% of a school budget on remote learning only to have in-class instruction all year?

Hindsight is 20/20. School budgets are generally tight, their IT teams have less-than-desired-bandwidth, and they've already had to handle costs and challenges with the current situation such as getting mobile hotspots and video conferencing solutions up. Remember that not all kids have laptops or internet at home - and school IT gets to handle that situation too.
> For every city abandoned by floods, inland cities will swell in population and prestige

That will be poor consolation for the inhabitants of the flooded cities. Also, a lot of infrastructure (think docks and roads) is located on the coasts, often associated with the cities. This will be very expensive to replace in a carbon neutral way, especially as the sea levels continue to rise.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Not sure how these games work, but what do you mean "destroy your economy"... Are the coins people win used to buy other in game products, so too much winning would lead to in-game inflation? But what would be the problem with that?

Also, any idea who these games pay to get the installs? Mainly Facebook, Google... or others? Trying to think of where the money is flowing from these more nefarious apps... how wide is the economic benefit from these clearly troubled whales?
Axiom is also not a normal Lisp program. Maxima can be loaded using ASDF and you can hack on it like any other Lisp project. Axiom in the other hand generates Lisp code from some other format and is rather incomprehensible to someone just coming into the project.

Not that Maxima is all that easy to understand either. The nature of the software makes it complicated, but there is code in there from the 60's, which carries with it some more the classic issues with Lisp code from that era, short symbol names, use of dynamic variables, etc.
