I imagine it's a very small number, likely including elephants and great apes. However, even I struggle to grasp the concept of my own mortality. I feel like most people are in the same situation. They can tell you they're going to die one day, like they're reciting lines from a book, but they don't seem to truly grasp what it means.
A lot of people in this thread are missing the important context behind all of this, which is that China has been declared an adversary to the US. It's not just your average case of data privacy issues. It's an issue of a hostile foreign adversary that is collecting data on users and utilizing these platforms as propaganda tools.
My impression is that Assange has become the bad guy because he potentially torpedoed the presidential aspirations of HRC. Prior to that publication, unless you were the target of a leak, what Wikileaks was doing was in the obvious benefit of the people. As the bad guy, it becomes much easier to infer malicious motives.

That said, Wikileaks was very proud of its "reporting" track record, methods, and sources. Their minimal exposition was journalistic cover for their original sources that was typically so thin that it would be difficult to contain errors.

Based on that track record and lengths Assange has gone through to maintain that integrity, I tend to believe who he says his source wasn't, that he would not intentionally reveal a source - living or dead, and that their are likely intermediaries or collaborators that would be compromised even if the original source would no longer be affected. That chain of trust is how they help ensure other leakers come to them first, and it seems their opsec is good enough to keep those sources secret even when the organization is significantly compromised.

I completely agree that they often oversold their releases. There were often claims of a deadman switch as well. If that hasn't triggered after all that's happened, was it a bluff? did it fail? was it compromised? did it contain information about the wrong target?
That's not just Solidworks. It's pretty much all parametric CAD systems. I don't expect that to change any day soon. The problem they have is massive development, small market, big costs. Back revision compatibility would kill their development engines. It's a tough scene. I worked in it for 25 years.

The other thing people should realize is all the CAD tool vendors are generally funding complex PLM / PDM system development necessary for larger scale users to operate on large products and across many teams. This is a significant portion of annual license fees.

As a small team or individual, one can use STEP. Now, admittedly the ability of Solidworks to work with STEP files is limited. (I would not want that job)

Personally, if I were going to get a license and just run it, I would get a system much more capable in that area. NX, as an example, is excellent, and I know many who have older licenses who do a lot of work just fine that way. Most everything can be done, and the skillset is not unlike what we use in some of the open CAD systems.

A native file is not always required when the modeler offers direct modeling as well as parametric. Just FYI.

Finally, anyone needing to interact with CAD needs to build license costs into their rates. It's too expensive to do otherwise.

Let the work pay for the tool.
I feel sorry for any CEO who actually steps down to spend more time with his/her family. That explanation has now more or less been completely co-opted by "Our CEO got caught in an embarrassing scandal and they need to fade from the public eye for a bit." I now assume that anyone who gives that reason on their way out must have done something terrible that is yet or about to come to light.
Even if a foreign website complies with all of arbitrary rules in China, the government will ban them with no warning and explanation. Sometimes they get restored, but the damage is already done. Even Apple is not immune and ITunes got shut down in China.

Yes and no. As both I and others have said elsewhere in this tread, with the broad definition of dyslexia "students with reading troubles" who will most benefit from extra instruction have dyslexia whether they are diagnosed or not. Getting those kids properly diagnosed is therefore a better strategy because that comes with added benefits that aren't directly related to teaching like the legal protections and the internal psychological benefits I mentioned and that were mentioned in the article. Without that diagnosis, it is easy for the child and the child's peers to view it as a problem with intelligence which can be damaging mentally.

There are probably 3 or 4 providers as big as Huawei. So let's assume that they get the 20% of the infrastructure and the 10% of the phones/tablets. What are you going to do? Disable all of them? You will get 5 or 10 millions of angry Canadians, and they will get angry at the person that pressed the big red "disable" button. (How do you disable all that equipment without a back door?)

Never get to do business again means until someone reverse the decision. 5 years? 10 years?
Meh, the resolution is super close to where it needs to be to read comfortably in the headset and do real work (and with wireless headsets with inside-out tracking, the annoying setup overhead is all but eliminated). That can make it a valuable peripheral, like a nice monitor without all the space requirements.

It won't likely ever be as big of a platform as smartphones are, though. So I overall agree with you.
No, those attacks still work. Traffic correlation and timing attacks don't actually interact with Tor at all; while a Tor exit relay is a good spot to be in for one (if you're targeting streams that use it), all you need is two vantage points that uniquely identify the network route as a whole. So e.g., the client and server's respective ISPs, or in the case of an onion service, both guard relays. GP is correct though, onion service connections are e2e encrypted, there's no vantage point on the network that sees any plaintext or TLS client traffic. The author of this blog clearly has no idea what they're talking about.

Not impossible either:

"A Cedars-Sinai research team is in the pre-clinical stages of developing a technology that harnesses intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light for treating viruses and bacteria. The technology has not been tested or used on patients. Cedars-Sinai has filed for patents related to the technology and has signed a licensing agreement with Aytu BioScience with the aim of potentially enabling near-term use as a COVID-19 intervention for critically ill, intubated patients."

It was a suggestion to explore it (all possibilities).
No one can hold anyone major state accountable for anything. If you're arguing that we should stop trade with all major sovereign nations, that's pretty much exactly what I'm addressing, it's a question of the US training to maintain hegemony.

Case in point : the murder of 3 million innocents and displacement of 37 million due to US imperialism in the last 30 years.

If this was about holding people accountable for atrocities, then the logical and easiest place to start is at home. Instead, we have the Hague Invasion act.

> By the way the Antarctic ice sheet is currently at median levels (based on 1981-2010 baseline)

Careful: ice sheet != sea ice. The formation of sea ice is strongly dependant upon underlying sea temperature & exposure to daytime sun & nightime radiational cooling. Ice sheets form on land due to snowfall. Most of the Antarctic sea-ice disappears every year in the southern hemisphere summer.
A judge can't decide that until someone actually breaks them and then takes that to court. Someone needs to have "standing" to challenge the rule.
And democracy is generally a buzzword if one does not explain what in his/her opinion it covers. Are Democrats democratic ? Is the Us voting system democratic ? You can sense that if you frame the question like that you will have an endless debate that won't get you anywhere. What voting system is in place ? Are parties limited in the money they can get for their campaign ? Is there a independent institution that controls the voting process ? Etc.
Maybe the problem with Trump is not that he is a agent of Russia but the fact that he is an infantile billionaire with the worst industries such as oil and coal behind him. But I don't expect democrats to utter that critique since they are probably not clean either. Here is an idea instead, companies or rich individuals should not be allowed to contribute to a campaign more than a certain amount.

Fintech company Chime raises $485M via Series F round
When the US imposes tariffs on other countries, like Canada, we expect Canada to reciprocate.

Reciprocal countermeasures are crucial for discouraging the original activity, whether it be tariffs or bans on foreign internet service companies.

Thus, in response to the CCP's effective ban on foreign companies, we should absolutely expect India, the US, and other countries to reciprocate.

Failing to reciprocate would only serve to encourage actors to engage more in the activity (whether it be tariffs or bans on internet services), and in this case lead to a more greatly fragmented internet.

Just as reciprocal tariffs protect the free flow of trade by discouraging further tariffs, here, the US reciprocating CCP bans protects the free flow of information on the internet.
Using unsafe doesn't disable the safety features that Rust has like ownership rules or type safety, it's an acknowledgement that undefined behaviour can exist and that it's the programmers responsibility to ensure that undefined behaviour isn't introduced into safe Rust. There's no real way around this, if you want to write to arbitrary memory addresses Rust can't magically prove that you're doing so safely but if you can prove you're doing so safely then Rust will take care of the rest and make sure you're not introducing data races, use after free, buffer overflows, etc.

Photos and videos of people are not generally useful for ads

If that's true, then how come there was a big hoo-ha a few years ago about Facebook putting pictures of people's friends in ads for unrelated companies, as if the friends were endorsing those products?

Sounds like a very useful way to use someone's photos for ads.

Also, with the state of machine learning, it's hard to imagine how image processing wouldn't be useful for advertising.

I can type "cat" into my phone, and its on-device learning shows me all the pictures with cats in them.

Facebook has the technical ability to scan people's pictures and tell all the cat food advertisers, "Here's all the people interested in cats." Or, even more precisely, scan the photos products or logos and tell an advertiser, "Here's all the people who use your competitor's product."

It's not hard to see where this is going, assuming it's not already there.
Remember you're dealing with a very noisy, FP-prone test, and there have been millions of tests by now. At those levels there are bound to be some babies that tested positive and then died, so you can't infer from it that COVID actually killed them.

To put it in perspective, according to the UK govt's own analysis, it's very likely that all currently reported positive infections are false positives!

> That is, what's called "music theory" should be called something like "Western Classical Music theory" (as one commentor says it done in South Africa).

In Italy, Italian restaurants are just called "restaurants".

So Music Theory doesn't differ much from how History or Geography or Literature are taught all over the world. I agree that when speaking to a global audience, some clarification would be nice, but that's a very low bar to call it "white supremacist".

The comparison with literary canon is apt. The one I was exposed to in school was composed in great part of works that are completely unknown to English-speaking audiences. Yet we didn't feel the need to call ourselves supremacist for focusing our studies on our own culture.
Increasing the passphrase to four words would bring the odds up to 1 / 6,990,080,303,376. In magic-tunnel I believe there is a flag to change the number of words used by default. It appears that schollz/croc allows you to use your own passphrase, but not increase the default word size, that would be a good feature request.
Do you mean the intelligence community of the US or China? Because both would be applicable.

These aren't different bad things. They are the same bad thing! Trump wouldn't be able to blackmail Assange without credibly threatening him in the first place. No previous president has countenanced a prosecution so extremist in its attacks on basic journalism and whistleblowing. Even Obama, who certainly was trending in that direction, stopped before he got to this point. His administration didn't "set up" this prosecution because he correctly saw it as a threat to the freedom of the press. [0] Yet, somehow the legions of nattering Trump opponents who pretend to accept nothing he does have fallen into line completely with this outrageous miscarriage of justice. Some of them probably are stupid enough to think they oppose Trump by enjoying Assange's plight. [EDIT:] They aren't all that stupid, and weasel words like "To be clear, I don't think that's the case here" are a good sign of that.

A viable chance at getting off this rock.

500+ million years is a blink of an eye on a cosmic scale. Humans are the only species we’ve observed that has a viable chance or surviving on cosmic time scales; and we will likely bring other life along with us for that ride.

Short of another human-equivalent species evolving, or a hyper resilient organism that can piggy back on space debris, humans are literally the only shot life on Earth has.

I've been spending some time in Italy, and I've been surprised to notice that banks, services and tv advertisements are often talking about the Huawei Appgallery (it's listed as an alternative for Google Play or the iOS app store)...

Obviously, that's because new Huawei phones won't be able to ship with the Google Play services, so they had to invest in this, to be able to deliver a decent app ecosystem to their users and thus stay afloat...

But this also means that it's thus a viable alternative (unencumbered by US diktats) to distribute stuff like Wechat and Tiktok, example:

https://appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C5683

Obviously, enabling a third party store is still a form of sideloading, which opens you up to risks, but at least people won't have to manually manage APKs

The silver lining is that this might increase competition, and let also other 3rd party stores thrive (i.e. F-Droid, Amazon store, etc.)

Are you familiar with how muslims in muslim minority countries do banking? Are there sayariah banks / credit unions that I am simply unaware of due to my ignorance? Or do they simply not use banks? Or do most just not care about the rule as I think would be implied by conventional banking being more prevalent even in a country with as many muslims as Indonesia?
> China has less incentive to go after me, and what are they gonna do to me?

The Chinese government itself need not come after you. Anyone with access to their database (e.g. family members of politically-connected party members) can use it against you, which is what happened to me.
I am impressed how they redesigned both internal architecture and a public API while keeping the users happy. Many well written projects fall into the trap of being a great fit for the contemporary practices but become less relevant over time as the ecosystem changes. Well done, Vue!

You criticised their guess as baseless just to follow up by denying their numbers without sources. Only one of you two chose to present a fact without backing it up.
