I have read the whole article. My point was that they should start the article with a good point, not a ridiculous one. The bad thing about the initial point is that even people who are very familiar with Ratajkowski would not recognize her as the figure present in the photo.
Might be for someone, but I never had that experience. All my experiences have been very very rapid, and there was certainly no sense of being somewhere for hours or even minutes.

Really I can't even speak of time in this context. It felt more like a series of moment instants, and usually, before I even located "myself" in the experience, it was over.

I'm going to be bold here and say that if someone speaks of experiencing time dilation or loops on DMT, it is more of a question of the rational, linear mind, trying to make sense of a timeless, or non-linear experience of time (which it is not able to comprehend), by imposing familiar, linear concepts on it post-facto.

So, someone might speak of a time loop after the trip, but while you're actually having a DMT breakthrough experience, there simply is no "observer" there to generate the thought "oh, I am stuck in a time loop here". Therefore, the feeling of anxiety or terror, which might normally be associated with such a finding, will not arise.
The reason it "some sparks" caused such huge destruction is because PG&E was also not maintaining the brush underneath their towers. All they were doing was literally fanning the flames by flying over it with a helicopter.
> Because they are based on a racist ideology, "'critical' race theory" and they are more akin to soviet style struggle sessions than any sort of actual training. In fact what is practiced in US would be probably illegal in a number of European countries.

It might not be legal in the U.S. either, at least some of the stuff that's going on. TBD.
White hat I presume.
That’s an argument you could make in any kind of liability lawsuit. It falls flat because the lawsuit isn’t worth filing in the average case, so nobody ends up being held to account for anything.

Example: a roller coaster has broken seat belts. Usually nothing bad will happen because physics keeps the rider in their seat. In one case, a rider falls to their death because they were leaning a particular way on a particular turn. Should the theme park not be punished because nobody was hurt in the average case? Or everyone who rode the roller coaster and wasn’t injured needs to sue for their piece of the pie (because the average damage is one death divided by the total number of riders)?
Don't forget scrapping basically every environmental initiative that the Rudd and Gillard governments put in place, pretty much on his own personal conviction that climate change is not human-caused.

It depends on what milieu you mix in. Some neuroscientists study electrophysiology of the brain in primary terms.

Evolutionary biologists see both systems as inextricably linked. The Schwann cells that encase axons to provide myelinated insulation are separated by gaps in which ion channels gate the charged fluid flow which propagates electrical activity like a mexican wave in a football crowd.
Wow. Hellava good write up. Def appreciated. I learned a lot from last two examples.
No thanks. Sticking to VSC
I have a mac vscode running alongside a windows vscode connected with synergy with a physical kb and mouse. At first the different shortcuts were annoying but with enough practice I just got used to them. Some of the lesser used ones like delete file I have to resort to using the mouse on mac, but I do try to make a conscious decision to learn both sets of shortcuts.
How you just brushed over that police shoot to kill and the military in a war shoots to wound completely baffled me. How is that a defensible position?
I think the average gamer cares about how much they pay per game.
You should check out logseq.com! Has all the features you’ve mentioned (KaTeX, beautiful and functional graph). I’ve been using it for hours each day and it’s been amazing, ze mind is so free! Their extensions platform is coming this month though, so it’s not quite out yet.
This is good advice, but does not help mitigate IAM issues. IAM is a global service.
Given the context the the article provides, and that the raw table does not, I am inclined to believe the pew research article, and would suggest the linked table needs to also have some methodology and definition of what it thinks it is and is not capturing.

The pew article also looks at statistics like "In 2019, 20% of households are shared households, up from 17% in 2007."

The weakness in the pew article is it's forecasting growth in household size from one year of its model, obviously we need to wait more time to see if it's model is correct.
Google and HTC both independently failed to match Oculus. I don’t think an open source implementation at this stage would work at all.
Fires can start from natural causes too. It's ignorant to say that this sort of disaster can be prevented by fixing behaviour, and it's a special form of hubris to think that you can "unstupid" everyone. This is the worst plan you can have. Relying on all individuals not doing something stupid for a long time is a lost cause, just look at the state of covid in the US. There are people literally throwing parties or sending their kids to school while they know that they have covid.

>BIT-Coin is not a replacement for credit card so it's like comparing apples to oranges.

Except it's being used almost exactly like credit cards, so it is an apples to apples comparison.

>Think of it more like cash. If you give someone 2k in cash nobody is going to find that person and refund you.

Wrong. Tons of cash and debit card transactions can be undone, and banks can and will give you money back from fraudulent transactions.

I gather that BINARY_SUBTRACT in this context means type-independent subtraction of two operands. Not subtraction of two binary integers. So we aren't yet seeing the dispatching which decides what type of subtraction to do. Integers? Floats? Strings? Some object that defines subtraction?

An important thing to realize about CPython's implementation is that almost everything is really a key/value map underneath. Which is why number-crunching has to be done in C.
We're all thinking about C-hooks because that's what failed here. What if the foundation had failed? Or any one of a million other things. I'm not saying that PG&E are clear by any means, just that it's really easy to point fingers after an incident. Be very wary of hindsight bias.

So very much of America's infrastructure is aging and used past planned capacity. How can you tell ahead of time which infrastructure will bite you the worst? Water control structures (dams, levees, locks) are a great place to look because of their potential for widespread, costly disasters.

If this C-hook had failed during a rainstorm, there would have been localized power loss for some time, and extra work for a repair crew.

Now, as it happens, California is naturally prone to wildfires; add to that climate change, poor vegetation control, people wanting to live next to trees[0] - it really is only a matter of time before people are killed. Just look at all the fires burning now. How many of them were caused by faulty C-hooks?

Take the example from Fight Club:

> "Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

The Narrator has provided us with a very vivid example: a fiery crash caused by a specific part. But what about all the other components? What about the other cars on the road? What about the guy that falls asleep while driving an affected vehicle and has a single car accident? There's a lot of noise in the real world.

0. For instance, I also live next to trees and love it (but not in California).
I love some of the Dropbox features, but the thing that annoys me EVERY time I log into their website is that it wants to try and shove team plans in front of me.

I actually logged in just before posting to check if it was still there and yep. Giant popup in the corner of the window[1].

I have dismissed these types of notices multiple times. What I don't understand is WHY. Surely it can't be a good idea to harass every one of your individual users to become a business user.

"why can some sparks in one place cause such huge destruction and can we do anything about that?"

Forest fires happen naturally all the time, but we've gotten so good at putting them out quickly, that at some point a huge buildup of dry underbrush will have amassed in a huge area, until a fire happens that is so big that we have no way to stop it. We're basically accumulating these huge powderkegs instead of letting the gunpowder burn one handful at a time.

Trackpads are really un-ergonomic when they're attached to the laptop. Both your wrist and neck are bent because the trackpad and screen are attached that way.

Consider getting a separate USB trackpad and putting it in a "mouse like" position so your wrist is straight and you can raise the laptop to just under eye level.

Yes (under certain, decently reasonable assumptions), but all solutions have very significant tradeoffs.

High latency mixnets (e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_remailer ) have the drawback that latency means it cannot work with interactive protocols.

Dining cryptographer networks have much lower latency but scale very poorly. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dining_cryptographers_proble... )

Tor (a low latency mixnet) trades a weaker threat model for low latency and scalability.

So basically you can pick two of scalability, low-latency and resistence to global passive adversaries.
Making compliments on physical appearance is considered harassment - especially if it is done repeatedly.

The OP absolutely did the right thing. Romantic fraternization should not be initiated in the workplace.
> I'm not sure I'd say the US has consciously made that tradeoff, though maybe you aren't claiming that. If anything it's likely a side-effect, imo.

The US has consciously made that trade-off. See how even Sanders doesn't propose to raise taxes on people making under $250,000, and Biden is up at $400,000. The top income tax rate in the Scandinavian countries kicks in at around $70,000.
Oh wow looks great, I'll keep an eye on it as it becomes more stable! Love that it syncs .md files to GitHub. It's also nice to see it using datalog queries, I've been considering that as well for my own app.

Agreed.

I moved back in with my Dad with my husband. I'm 32, hubby is 30. He had two strokes and my little sister didn't want to be the only one nearby. It's been 6 months. Is it the easiest? No. But it's amazing to have this day-in-day-out time with my Dad again after not having lived at home for years.

My older sister moved back in with her husband and two kids for 2 months as she studied for her medical school USMLE exams so she could take advantage of the free baby-sitting.

Neither my sister's family or my own would've made this decision without the pandemic. My husband and I were both pushed remote (same salary) and my sister's child care plans went up in smoke.

While 2020 has been shit, moving home in some cases isn't an indicator of a problem. It's just a smart reaction to the new reality of working from home.
But sadly Sketch is garbage now. I've gone from paying for v.x.0 - x.09 and its solid and stable. Now I pay $XX a year and it bricks with every update. It was a great program for awhile there. Its making me look at XD at this point... SMH
If your adversary has a god level view of the network then it's really hard to achieve strong anonymity. The article mentioned large network operators that can monitor a significant fraction of all traffic in the country. If you were the Chinese Government you would have an even better view into the network. Especially if you send a large file somewhere which makes it easy to correlate the TCP session.

For real anonymity you need something that scrambles and delays your traffic to make it harder to track. Something that breaks big transfers up into a bunch of small transfers, sends them via different routes, and generally makes your experience miserably slow.
Despite all the effort that went into investigating the cause of this fire, remember that someone started an even bigger fire this year by doing a gender reveal party. So it really is irrelevant how careful everyone is; something will set everything ablaze eventually.

His opsec was so poor, even if parallel construction was a possibility, im not sure why they would bother.
so, this isn't kennedy-specific, but from a mostly outsider's perspective (I worked at google for a long long time, but not on any of this stuff), I think it's motive. apple sells hardware to users & google sells eyeballs to advertisers.

the most benign explanation for google's constant UI redesign is that it is, as the GP said, some "guy on blogger team who's role is to make up bullshit OKRs and get promotions". as a user of these products, that pointless churn is incredibly frustrating.

The less benign explanation is that it's about increasing my eyeball time for advertisers. as a human being, that's incredibly infuriating; especially when the "redesign" doesn't offer me anything in return (I'm looking at you google music / youtube music)

Hold the line! Let's make the term useful. An 0-day is an 0-day before public disclosure and for 24 hours after.
If you know about the bug, but manufacturer does not provide any patches, you can still mitigate it, put in place detection measures or just stop using that software. You can't (necessarily) do those if you don't even know about the bug yet as it hasn't been published. That's why 0day is a useful term.
Yeh but only by say 4% since the 60s, but the poorest and middle class are getting richer at a much faster pace.
Ydz- you replied this comment with a very useful comment that is “dead” either because you were downvoted (impossible) or because the megalomaniacs who run this site consider you persona non grata.
Good question. I don't personally know any, so here's pure conjecture, and please read it as such. I'm totally open for feedback!

(I'm internally sort-of answering "Why wouldn't you move to Germany?" since that is where I was born)

* English is easy. It's probably already required to become an engineer. So you move to an English-speaking country.

* Everything is cheap. Labor is cheap, bureaucracy is low. If you dream about starting your own company/idea/dream some time, the US seems like the place to do it.

* The people have a reputation of being easy-going (if superficial) and the country is already culturally mixed. You're not going to stand out.

* It is culturally dominating. Name any piece of popular media that was made in the last 50 years and chances are 95% that it's American. That's not a good reason, but I would say it's a strong biasing factor.
Normalization of deviance.
Why wouldn't it? IP only provides best-effort delivery anyway, yet TCP which is built on it makes the connections reliable. Similarly you can use IP which isn't anonymous to build strongly anonymous systems.
I think the point is that if your career (and life) were to be unexpectedly destroyed months or years down the line as a result of this (even if you were acting both in the spirit and within the letter of company regulations at the time), you would be in a strictly worse position than if it had never happened.
I see a consistent definition for the arguments of others: "You have zero days until this can and will be exploited. You have zero days until you need this patched."

A zero day starts with it's exploit or public disclosure and ends with a released patch. It's not a zero day for private disclosure.

Wage i.e. income increased is exactly what did happen. Billionaires and millionaires aren't bad. And income equality not a good goal. If we create more rich people at the same time incomes increase for the lower and middle class at historic who cares about the ratio split.
> Because this particular task really feels like the killer app that we should already have -- frictionless, non-heirarchical notes that you can just dump into the system and then retrieve based on a few relatively simple axes, date, keywords, a little semantic analysis, etc.

I was super confused by contravariant functors until someone gave me a concrete example of an instance of it as "the left side of an arrow".

With a regular functor you have:

fmap :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b

and you can think of something relatively straightforward type that fulfills it it, e.g.:

newtype Identity a = Identity a

instance Functor Identity where
fmap f (Identity x) = Identity (f x)

With a contravariant functor you have:

contramap :: Contravariant f => (a -> b) -> f b -> f a

The Identity type can't fulfill Contravariant, because it makes no sense to apply some transformation a -> b to a value and somehow get the preimage of it. However:

newtype Op a b = Op (b -> a)

instance Contravariant (Op a) where
contramap f (Op g) = Op (g . f)

Unwrapping this all, you get something like:

contramap :: (a -> b) -> (b -> c) -> (a -> c)

which makes a lot more sense! You can apply some mapping from a -> b before going from b -> c, giving you a -> c: the contravariant mapping of a function is just the reverse composition of a function!

Of course, there are other kinds of contravariant functors, but this was the one that stuck out the most to me.

You're right that it does draw attention to other systemic problems that we need to address. Forest management in a changing climate needs to change and we're definitely socially negligent there.

But let's not apologize for PG&E. Read the whole Butte DA report. It's extremely damning without needing to resort to hyperbole or sensationalism. PG&E has willfully ignored problems and chosen to "run to failure" effectively their entire system, ignoring outcomes of those failures.

And on top of that, they're absolutely milking the ratepayer.

The Toonify produces avatars which match the source photo in terms of detail and feature correspondence. In that regard, at first take, the algorithm might appear to be working at a near pixel level of granularity. However, at least in the examples I tried, there is a loss of similarity and recognisability, to the extent that I don't think my friends would get that my avatar is me, and I don't get that feeling about the avatars generated from pictures of my friends. For that reason, I am wondering if the algorithm is based on feature recognition (eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows etc), followed by a feature level of replacement/distortion rather than pixel level?

The celebrity examples might be a different case in terms of our recognition sentiment, because of their familiarity, and the juxtaposition of a number of phenotypically diverse celebrities in one set, which gives a correspondence in the diversity of the input set and the output set.

What modifications would be required to the algorithm to score consistently higher in facial recognition of the avatar by people who view the avatar cold without access to the original photo?

I'm asking rhetorically, of course. Such research might take a long time. Toonify looks like a good foundation for what might be an open ended project.
Telegram treats every single person on the contact list as your buddy and advertises it when they sign up by default.

e.g. If you had stored a plumber number 10 years ago, you'll receive a notification telling that the plumber is on Telegram now. Of course likewise, if you start using Telegram today everyone who has your contact and uses Telegram will receive the notification; be prepared for some awkward conversations with people whom you have forgotten.

•Telegram's latency seems to be low when compared to WhatsApp(Although part of which could be optimised code, data center proximity should account more and if so how a supposed renegade group of techies with no revenue afford better data center facilities than their Billion$ competitors?).

•Their feature update notifications seems to create a sense of consumer focussed entity when compared to the competitors.

•The bot API has made the platform extensible than others (Messenger restricted several features of their API after Privacy fiasco).

That's all, I don't buy the argument of Telegram USP as security and marketing it for one seems to be disingenuous at best and malicious at worst IMO.
There is an A Tribe Called Quest album with a skit that almost always made me turn around to see who is talking behind me when listened to on headphones. AFAIK they used stereo microphones on a mannequin to achieve this effect. I don't know what my point is but I guess it's a bit surprising that it took so long for this to enter the mainstream as we've certainly had the ability to do his with minimal extra processing for quite some time now.
