The seller can _ask_ for any price they like, not unilaterally "set" it.

They're only going to get that, and thus set the price, if there is also a buyer who agrees to pay that price.

In technical terms, I was using "set the price" to mean "discover the the market-clearing price that allows a transaction to happen."

But from the post and the Dan Ellsberg testimony, it sounds like the news agencies even as far back as the Pentagon Papers were extremely aware of these needs, and especially Assange himself was, and proceeded with extreme caution and very deliberate understanding of the necessary costs to be weighed when consider cases where publishing e.g. an unredacted name was clearly in the public interest and far outweighed the risk to the named party.

If you're concerned about Zinn's sourcing you could read Takaki instead. Takaki is a bit like the undergrad-level Zinn, if you think of Zinn being suited to high school.
No. He's implying that the fact something is a law doesn't mean your employer should lecture you about it.
If anyone thinks that Zinn is not offering precisely a counterpoint to history as written by the victors, they have not understood his message.

His memoir is literally titled: "You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train"
If you really insist, I can correct myself and you, too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension

"In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a mathematical space (or object) is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it."

Since we can define an order and enumerate all possible gameplays (not just states -- all possible gameplays) from 1 to however many possible games there are, the game is only 1D.

Which means you can describe any game from start to end with a single number.

Your assumptions about dimensionality are completely incorrect. Just because something can move in different directions doesn't mean these are different dimensions.

Think about idealized ant moving on idealized string. Well, you could say it is only 1D because you can describe its position by giving the distance from selected origin. Now, even if you crumple the string into a ball, the ant might be able to travel in different directions in 3D space, but the movement is still 1D movement on the string that can be described with a single number -- distance from origin.

With regards to chess, you can reduce the game the same way. Let's start from easy to more complicated:

1. You can reduce the board to 1D (line all fields one after another, preserving their names, but giving them order that will let you describe position of a piece with a single number).

2. You can reduce entire game state to 1D. Since there is finite possible game states, you just need a function that will map the board to an integer, so that you can refer to all possible board states with an integer that uniquely identifies it.

3. Just as with #2, you can do the same with an entire gameplay. In this case a single integer can describe not just board state but entire course of the game from start to finish. The game is now 1D.

In general, if the state space of the game is finite or countably infinite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countable_set) the game IS 1D.

ssh -W requires that the gateway support port forwarding, which is probably disabled if its enforcing interactive logins. (-W also implicitly sets -T, though I don't know if that would fail the login or not.) Likewise, -J is shorthand for a ProxyCommand that runs nc on the gateway, which also won't work if the gateway requires interactive (i.e. TTY interposed) logins. (EDIT: Looking at the OpenSSH source code, -J is shorthand for generating a ProxyCommand using ssh -W. Either it was refactored to use -W after -W was added, or I'm misremembering how -J used to work.)
This feels like a reduction to either/or thinking. Sure all history is biased. Everything is biased. But I think you probably believe that some things are more biased than others. The argument above seemed to be that Zinn is more biased and this is perhaps less worthy of our attention than somebody who makes more of an attempt to reduce bias. Not taking a position on Zinn btw.
What is a network?
Well put!

My parents are very much of the "no politics at work" generation and I really question why that cultural strain has carried itself into 2020 since it only serves company board members/executives and categorizes rank and file employees as automaton code monkeys who should "shut up and type".

Armchair thought: in this odd period of history where, ostensibly, capitalism "won" as the political system of choice and "the end of history" was declared we have entered an alarming stage of hyper-capitalism mixed with growing discontent/civil unrest. More than ever there seems to be a breathless determination by upper-middle class professionals to not rock the boat in any way in the hopes that these mega-corporations will continue to prop up the stock market, pay out outrageous salaries, and keep the gravy train running. It's a kind of cognitive dissonance where we can see how much damage the big players in tech are wreaking on global society - there's ample evidence - but to recognize and face it would sully the deeply held ideal that tech is some kind of great, benevolent force in our society (more cynically: confronting it would also mean confronting that fact that we as tech workers have ethical responsibilities to society at large that we have at best ignored, at worst defied).

Practically, it's not. Yes, you can catch up on how your cousin's new baby is doing, but you can't disentangle that from the extremist propaganda, disinformation, and real harm that these platforms incur by leveraging human psychology against us. Taking the view that ethics and work are separate silos is hopelessly naive. Almost every profession requires constant awareness and ethics in order to be a benevolent force: doctors, lawyers, builders, scuba gear manufacturers, car designers all have a responsibility to their end user and I can't see how tech is any different. I doubt people would react the same way if this were GM instead of Facebook and their employees were up in arms after learning the car they had been designing and building had a track record of blowing up and killing people.

I've eaten both european and american sandwiches. American ones are certainly better "value for money" but only in the sense that they typically feed a family of four.

They're kind-of excessive. the US didn't invent the foot-long sub for no reason, worldwide obesity scores had to be earned.
I think I know what you mean, and me too. But... mandatory diversity training at work is typically very bland, sticks to communicating what the rules are, and is very apolitical compared to forums, employee banter, or stuff you find on the news or Facebook or YouTube. Having been through a bunch of them at several companies, I wouldn't put them in the same camp as 'politics' at all.

Is it undesirable to aim for objectivity? Zinn seemed to believe it was his job to shape American society not record its history.

Reshaping American society may be a fine goal. And, Zinn certainly has been successful at that, but it does not sound like history to me.

People die regularly when doctors and nurses don't wash their hands properly. In that hospital I'd be surprised if it's not at least once a week.

So this isn't a big deal. We kill off patients all the time.

If that worries you, perhaps you should stop frothing at the mouth because of "ransomware" and worry about all the other things that matter first.

Another good example of people dying in medicine is the fact we over-engineer everything so much we lack equipment and access because it's just to hard.

The re-routing here probably was for optics in part. The over engineering means by passing the buck to another hospital they can't get blamed for anything.

Eric Hobsbawm's account of the "long 19th century," as told in his The Age of Revolution, The Age of Capital, and The Age of Extremes, is something that readers who are interested in Zinn may also be interested in. Hobsbawm appears to have a significantly better reputation among professional historians than Zinn does.

Hobsbawm still frequently appears on university reading lists for history majors. I remember the trilogy as engaging and easy to read for an outsider to the field. He is less polemical than Zinn, even if his political sympathies are similar.

Why? Isn't making people aware of laws how you abide by them? The risk of not educating people and being caught ignoring abuses is fairly serious. Broadly speaking, some of the laws we're talking about are laws that specifically require making employees aware of their existence.

Good point.

It never seemed like the distributed "selling point" of Git (and Mercurial et al) really caught on. I remember trying to extoll it's virtues to our team at the time (pre-Github). No one source of truth as such, just everyone swapping changes as needed. It's kind of ironic that Git's most popular incarnation is based upon a centralised model.

Is it just a case of the distributed workflow just not being that useful for most people? Beyond the obvious example of Linux kernel development, of course!

> Rural people love their subsidies. We should encourage people to live in denser areas, not all cities, but towns. How many rural people do you think are involve in food production? It's only around 10%.

I have no idea. It's a hard question to answer. You are sure with no citation so I think you're wrong.

How do you define "rural" and how do you define a "town"? The US Census—which probably was directly or indirectly the source of your 10%—defines rural as not urban. Urban clusters must have a population of 2,500, [1] which already excludes a lot of what I'd call towns. And as a spot check, I don't see Grundy Center, IA on the list, despite meeting the population requirement (and not being included in a larger urban cluster AFAIK). Maybe it fails one of their other requirements. It is in their list of "incorporated places".

How do you define "involved in food production"? If I live with my family on a farm but picked "truck driver" as my occupation, am I involved in food production? If I am a teacher to farmers' kids, in a town of 500 people (see above), am I involved in food production? etc. Farmers don't exist in a vacuum. They need services like everyone else.

Even if you are right, "only about 10%" doesn't mean you won't cause pretty significant problems for everyone by messing with those folks...

You have no scientific evidence to support your claims. Take your L and stop spreading misinformation.
How many weeks are these projects, including the 2 free weeks?
Fine, by that metric, the ventillation would have to be 12 times more effective than wiping down to have the same cost/benefit ratio. So if the wiping is 8.4% or more effective than it will always be the cheaper alternative; and even if wiping is less effective than that, odds are the ventilation system is going to be far less than 100% effective.

And again, wiping surfaces does more than fight covid. The flu, the common cold, and countless more diseases are very effectively countered by washing down surfaces. If you make federal minimum wage and you miss work for 2 days because of the flu, that's $120 in lost earnings. The average person flying probably makes significantly more than that. Even if wiping down your seat only reduces the odds of getting the flu by 0.15% you're still coming out ahead at minimum wage; if you make $100k/yr it need only be 0.02% effective.

Also it's worth noting that contact with contaminated surfaces is still believed to be a major means of transmission of the disease. It is airborne transmission of covid which is still being debated though there seems to be mounting evidence in support of it as an additional transmission pathway.

sigh Thunderbird has so many great features under the hood, but the hood is the biggest issue I have that prevents me from switching full time. Classic and wide layouts are not optimized for wide resolutions in modern laptops. Their vertical layout is unusable. The columns in the list of messages are horizontal, taking up too much width. Each layout is a tradeoff on whether I want to message pane to be usable or the list of messages to be usable.

Well that's all I'm asking for here. A practical proposal.

Removing tetraethyl lead was certainly doable. Removing every car from the road was not. One was a targeted change that improved the industry, while the latter was so impractical that they never considered it.

Here's a thought - you assume a priori that shutting down social media would be a net win. How did you come to that conclusion? Did you spare a thought for the people who's social lives revolve around spending time with friends online? You'd advocate for taking away these people's social networks because you're certain you know what's best for them?
Good question. Simple answer: no.

I've thought about it though, but haven't settled on anything yet. I can't inspect files. I'll add an abuse report notice soon, abuse@ is already live. I'll attempt to manually review cases. That doesn't prevent illegal sharing, but I think that's the best I can do. If things get out of hand, I might take the instance down. I don't want to support hosting illegal stuff.

A newer Send version (yet to deploy) also shows a clear warning, and requires users to tick a confirmation box, when downloading through the webpage. I hope that helps preventing malware installations.

Thank for the suggestion. I’m really trying to learn more about hardware.
I bought the original Razer Mamba mouse and just now replaced it after ~10 years of happy use. I bought the latest Mamba model, Wireless 2020 or whatever it's called.

Quality is just awful in comparison with the original.

They removed the docking station, battery life is terrible and the drivers are buggy.

I'm incredibly disappointed. I wish they still manufactured the original product instead of this new mouse whose only improvement is that the LED changes colour.

Oh and it doesn't work in wired mode on the mac ...
Is anyone else having problems with this, after migrating from Enigmail on Thunderbird 68?

It fails to associate my accounts with my keys in my keyring, so I try to import an exported key. Whenever I do this, it gets stuck in a loop asking me for the passphrase for an old, revoked key :( Even after I deleted the revoked keypair -- which I know I shouldn't -- it's refusing to cooperate.

So it looks like I've actually lost this feature by upgrading...
My info is 5+ years old at this point, but when I last looked into the ESP8266 they were the de-facto easiest/best way to add Wifi to your microcontroller. I have an older ESP8266 board that i used to create a tiny server and tweet stuff for me.

The older board didn't have integrated USB, which made the dev process annoying.
That's actually the deal with Thunderbird, too. Supported S/MIME and needed a plugin, Enigmail, to interface with OpenPGP. What is happening here is that the thunderbird add-on interface is changing and they decided that instead of porting Enigmail they are integrating OpenPGP straight into Thunderbird like S/MIME is.

> It would be worth avoiding at that initial stage, but would be less and less of a factor as the company grows and matures.

Everything always depends... But the initial team tends to turn into the top management team, and a company managed by people that can do its main work is completely different from one managed by people that can't. It's reasonable for somebody to want to avoid it.
You are deliberately ignoring the reality of it. It’s not “good” to do something when the opportunity cost you passed up is that X-hundred thousand preventable malaria deaths or waterborne parasite deaths occur.

It’s a luxury to blow $1 billion in donations to Cornell. That’s not humanitarian anything. That’s not charity. At best that’s gross negligence, at worst narcissistically relegating hundreds of thousands of people to preventable deaths.

We’re not talking about wasting a few thousand dollars on selfish consumption. This is egregiously wasting the better part of $8 billion. It’s gobsmacking, the scale of it.
