Sure, but it rather pokes a hole in the concept of general computing, does it not?

I don't see how. I pretty much think anyone should do whatever they want with their computers. Windows is acceptable for some, and not for others. I can't see the point of getting mad about what software other people are running.

I have never used WSL, but if I ever do, it definitely won't be for gaming.
Well, the author's other "single C file dependency" project is somewhat popular I hear, so maybe.
The single market implementation is completely bogus. That's not anyone's fault. It's just that laws that restrict are contravariant against the interface. So European Parliament decides that everyone should have something that meets at least something, so everyone has a piece that meets that something and then more in whichever way they like. But that makes the interface useless to build against. So you meet the German version and the French version and then let all the rinkydink economies like Greece just use those.

US laws leave a lot less to the imagination, they are hyper-constrained in general, and there's a large body of work on how to bypass them. Like, Romania may use GDPR to hunt down journalists and company bosses but you know California won't use CCPA that way, so you're cool.
Well, I think the lesson is that the safe thing to do is don't say anything on social media that could ever be perceived as remotely controversial (and given that's hard to predict probably don't do it at all), don't post photos with people because who knows might be controversial some day, and don't do anything like donations that are a matter of public record especially in a political context.

Now, most people will be fine with those things up to some point, but if you want to minimize risk you avoid those sorts of activities. And you may give up benefits if you don't do some of those things as well.
Google is a US company though...
GM basically lost money in Europe for 15 years straight.

Ford does make some money in Euope thanks to their commercial vehicles mostly, they don't actually make all that much money on the personal cars either. That said, Ford did much better in Europe then GM and are actually profitable there.
Quite the opposite - it's archaic to use thin clients.

Yup. It's hilariously naive to think that as GDP goes slowly up over time (with the occasional dip) people are gonna somehow accept lower standards of living, smaller cars.

Society just doesn't go backwards in terms of living standards unless there's literally no other choice and forcing it backwards artificially is not something people will take kindly to.

Given a sufficiently strong government you might be able to get people to suck it up for awhile but that "awhile" is gonna end with a lot of people getting shot.
I was trying to reply to a post that got flagged, so I'll repost at the top level instead:

I strongly disagree with [the other poster's lack of concern about war crimes], but I want to try to paraphrase the part of your intuition that makes sense to me.

Facebook gets criticized by its users and governments both for taking down "too much" and "too little", sometimes with regard to the same post or subject area.

Suppose user X posts something related to an armed conflict, violence, suffering, or death. This post might be part of a crime by X against Y, or evidence of a crime by Y against Z, or evidence of a crime by Y against Z, or not really a crime at all but just really disturbing and upsetting. Also, in various circumstances people might want records about violent crimes against them to be destroyed, or publicized, or not destroyed but not publicized (only used by some judicial process, or truth-and-reconciliation process, or historians, or something). Also, user X might have an intention that's different from the primary value or valence of the content, like prurient enthusiasm for violence, or making one of the parties depicted look bad, or trying to intimidate one of the parties depicted.

In order to figure out which category (or categories) a post falls into, Facebook has to (1) learn the language(s) involved in all posts, (2) learn the political context of violent conflicts, (3) perform some level of adjudication and fact-finding about political conflicts and disputes, and maybe even (4) try to understand the motives of the person who posted something on each particular occasion.

Is it reasonable to expect Facebook to do all those things, compared to other choices that are consistent, neutral, and inevitably result in various type I and type II errors with respect to the nature and purposes of posts related to violence?
Yeah, ever since devops became a thing they’ve placed themselves in this position where they’re somehow better than the application developers, even though until a few years ago those same developers were doing the exact same things.

I swear, sysadmins were annoying as an application developer, but devops is something else.

People with one year of actual work experience get hired as devops, and have all the privileges I would need to fix their mistakes, but I can’t, because I’m an ‘application developer’. So instead you end up teaching them how to do their job.

I’m not salty at all.
Treason in the context of the United States is the act of a citizen betraying his/her fellow citizens by aiding our enemies against us. Neither Assange nor any other non citizen can commit the act of treason against the United States.

Assange is being accused of conspiring to break into a government computer not treason.

The fact that extradition isn't an equal thing isn't exactly shocking its a function of treaties between the relevant nations and wherein a power imbalance exists between those nations the terms are less likely to be equal and the US is still one of the most powerful nations on Earth.

The US does rarely extradite for example

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/u-s-citizens-extra...

Ivo is getting extradited for attempted extortion which he committed in the Czech Republic and when people commit crimes from the US against international parties they can also be charged with the a crime for those acts supposing they are against the law here.

Punishing acts where victim and criminal are members of different nations is often complicated. Few nations are eager to subject their citizens to foreign laws.

So much of what is beautiful about cars is the ability to choose one that fits your needs, desires, and lifestyle.

Whether you are commuting 40 miles each way to work, hauling large loads for work everyday, bringing your ATV to the trail, or your trash to the dump.

Being able to hit the road in your own private vehicle is a great joy of life, and an essential liberty in America. So much so it’s quintessential of the “American Dream”.

Some people look at these things, and then decide they personally don’t like them, and only see a massive opportunity to regulate or tax them out of existence. Or they see the negative first order effects (e.g. traffic fatalities or pollution) and don’t consider both the first order benefits, nor the second-order costs of eliminating the thing itself.

I doubt I’ll convince anyone, but at least here is my alternative thinking on this. It is extremely important to reduce traffic fatalities, and reduce pollution per mile. Likewise it is also extremely important to allow people to choose their preferred modes and means of transportation.

It is merely a lack of creativity to pit these two goals against each other.

We are on the cusp of a clean energy and clean vehicle revolution, as well as what will arguably be one of the greatest technological accomplishments of humanity; a self driving car.

Dreams of regulating away SUVs or the right of private car ownership are over. Preferences will not be shaped by excessive gasoline taxes much longer. And passenger vehicles will only continue to become safer and cleaner from here on out.

Ultimately the war against private passenger transport will be lost to the Robotaxi. The marginal cost per mile will be lower than public transit, so they will be left to compete on point-to-point speed, safety, and convenience. And by safety I mostly am referring to safe from crime and safe from viruses, not collisions which will be exceedingly rare. Some cities might have a public transport system that can compete, but most will not.
Compact cars are popular in Australia, even though we have big open roads and most people live in the suburbs. I think running costs are a big factor in choosing a car, if you are comparing between 5L per 100KM and 15L per 100KM, and the price of petrol is around $1.40 per litre ($3.70 USD per gallon). Registration and insurance is also more expensive the bigger the engine. Once popular sedans like the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon have all but died out, as people no longer wanted a petrol guzzling 6 or 8 cylinder engine.

I think an electric car the size of a Toyota Yaris / Honda Jazz would be a big hit in Australia, since that category has been popular for decades. Whereas I think the only popular sedan nowadays would be the Camry, and they are mainly used for taxis. Family cars tend to be SUVs with underpowered petrol or diesel engines to try and get the fuel economy, even if it struggles to climb hills.

Another big seller I think would be a plug in hybrid ute similar to a Hilux, since they are the main vehicles used by tradies. If you could get maybe 100 - 200km of travel using electric only and then petrol for the rest, I think that would be suitable for people who mainly work in metropolitan areas. You could also use the battery instead of carrying a petrol generator.
You'd want to compare the total number of dinosaurs that ever lived against the number of fossil-izable and recognizable artifacts an industrialized society ever created.
Because that means you’re writing a different dialect of JS. Especially in the Svelte case, where you just need to be aware of what the compiler knows and what they don’t. A leaky abstraction, broken magic IMO.

BTW) I would say that writing a whole compiler to add UI update logic is much ommore over engineering than this solution, or just about any JS reactivity system.
> If your sysadmins don't have the technical skills to diagnose these problems, they are incompetent and must be replaced.

The actual result of this is that the sysadmins are not replaced, and the application developers end up in an emergency conference call at 3am to tell the sysadmins which buttons to click on the production environment, since they’re not allowed access themselves.
Apple's “benign dictatorship” of the App Store leaves users the dark (2012)
It's pretty easy to come up with "algorithms" in the intuitive sense that are not Turing computable; just violate any of the finiteness constraints.

The fact that you might object to considering such procedures algorithms rests on the fact that the "thesis" is providing a definition.
Bingo. The day I can put things in cron in WSL and have them run without needing a window open is the day I stop running a Linux VM.
If you're dual-booting, you can go one better and virtualize your Linux distro in the windows environment. It works fairly well, the only problem is making the disk available for both types of uses; virtualbox has the ability to use a disk partition, but for hyper-v or other, you may need to work around it by mounting a disk image. (Doing something like this is really only useful if you have to actually boot windows natively for gpu acceleration or other reasons)
I’ve read at least several hundred books in English, and probably hundreds of thousands of news stories and blog posts, and don’t recall encountering it before. It seems to appear mostly in searches for its definition and gre prep...
You are posting a climate-change denying site as your source for this? Consider me incredulous.

Edit: From my quick perusal, the warming for the Younger Dryas period is not mysterious at all. The main theory is that there was a sudden cooling due to the failure of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation around 12,900 BC. This cooling was then rapidly reversed back to the median warming trend about 11,700BC.

Pretty much this.

I don’t understand how Republicans can argue cutting funding to the IRS will save the government’s spending. Instead their goal is to make the tax base richer by cutting taxes of the rich. Many of them are all about cutting taxes to the rich and corporations, doubling down on the trickle down. They even blocked payroll tax cuts to the lower and middle class:

Even in your own comment, equating Superposition and linear combination, you are almost there but not quite. A spanning set of linear combinations is not the same thing as reference to the concept of linear combinations. One might argue small difference, but we are talking about the precision of language here.
Honestly, there's probably money in making people feel better about outrageous things in some way. I think Reddit does an okay job here since they let people bicker on subreddits and 'award' people on either side. They sell people the illusion of impact, and that's probably worthwhile.

So I think I've changed my mind completely. People don't not care about war crimes, etc. They care about them through the identity of being someone who cares about war crimes. In that respect, it is amazing what Facebook is doing since they are throwing away a pretty concrete engagement opportunity. Fascinating.
Humans can also weather having to exist in the same world with people who believe different things than they do, too.

Station wagon with a roof rack can do any two of those things at once. And I say this as someone who also owns a minivan and a couple trucks. I actually prefer station wagons for hauling sheet material that's too long or wide to fit flat in a pickup bed because it's less of a pain to deal with strapping it to a roof rack than any of the other options.

The problem with this approach is that despite the fact that modern vehicles can support thousands of pounds on (or in) the passenger cabin and that modern air suspension and dynamic shocks (as found on many higher trim SUVs these days) would be fine with the extra weight) it is not socially acceptable (and social norms are very much defined by vocal minorities) to use vehicle at 110% their capacity if you can reasonably avoid to. Imagine the "think of the children" themed hate you'd get if you posted a picture of a Mercedes wagon hauling 300lb of I-beam on the roof or a minivan hauling a ton of paver bricks or a bunch of people crammed into a Honda Fit for a road trip. That's why we can't made do with less.
It's still hard to find quality tabs that go beyond chords. Even ultimate guitar with its "official" tabs is not great - they don't match the recording or are accurate with notes, but are not possible to play (things like ghost notes on 2nd fret between two barre chords on 8th).
Do you not have express trains? We have some in chicago and for example, the naperville to downtown express takes 34 minutes to go 30 miles downtown because it literally goes straight downtown without stopping at any other stations.
I would guess that the Taxpayer Bill of Rights is one of those silly "does not create a private right of enforcement" non-laws. As in yes, it's a law, but nobody who cares about it has the right to enforce it in court.

Not my money, but a better ROI could be obtained by investing in bringing down the EU. Or simply run a relocation service to move those startups to the UK.

The EU has created a highly bureaucratic environment in which governments do not compete in a positive way (they compete in destroying taxpayer wealth).

He seems to think there is something other than statism that makes European founders less successful than their counterparts elsewhere. There's no lack of money, there's too much State.
The car market right now is dominated by huge cars and I hate it. I grew up in a rural area in mid 70s and throughout most of the 80s and my parents had tiny Datsuns (aka Nissan) and we got along fine. My aunt and uncle had 10 kids and they managed to get around without an SUV or a minivan (of course we didn't have car seats for kids and barely seat belts back then but still)

Right now there are very few new cars for sale under $20,000 which seems crazy https://jalopnik.com/heres-all-17-cars-available-in-the-u-s-...

I don't know, I thought I would be using a mac for the rest of my life because it interoperated so well. I could run windows, I could mostly treat macos like unix, and I could boot linux if I wanted to.

But they went down the navel-gazing path - everything pointing inwards to their ecosystem and picking off the useful interoperability stuff little by little until almost nothing is left.

wait a minute, instinct? So hard wired behaviors are different than acquired behaviors when it comes to self awareness? Come to think of it, no one has defined self awareness so how can we begin to say who has it and who does not? Is a three year old self aware? A three year old clearly responds to other people but many would say he/she sees the world as part of him/herself.

I disagree with your book comparison. Tabs describe a piece of music, in particular, a specific part of it (guitar). A rewritten book based on another book is not a description in this sense. In my (non-legal) opinion, tablature should not be copyrightable because several people could write the same exact sequences without each other’s knowledge and there would be no way to prove who created the work first.
The worst, IMO, are excessive calls to action with incomplete or vague information about what the product is, or what it's feature set is.

Turing machines and being turing computable doesn't require any finite constraints. Both infinite time and infinite storage space are expected for a universal turing machine. We obviously have never built one.

I made the move towards not so much shower reduction(a few times a week still, and stick deodorant) as soap reduction, because I realized that what is true of most surfaces is true of my skin and hair: it's not the soap that gets it clean but the scrubbing, and a little bit of scrub with a washcloth is going to be enough to get most of the actual gunk while preserving the microbiome. Soap is for when you actually need a harsher cleaning agent than water, which is going to happen only occasionally. Exposure to sunlight also does some natural cleansing, though not everyone is in a position to sunbathe.

And yes, for the first few weeks this did make things a little more smelly. Deodorant suffices to cover it.
There's ways to have the windows boot loader do it, but unless something's changed that really means the windows boot loader reboots the computer. EasyBCD[0] can do this, but only on an mbr partition with bios boot, not on gpt/UEFI boot.

My first job ever I befriended one of the senior sales guys at an after work drinking event. We built software that integrated into and with a range of embedded devices of which many were medical. He was one of the guys that worked closely with our EMEA customers who were notoriously slow to sign.

Three years later he drove in to the office lot with a brand new Porsche 911 which was a portion of his commission for closing the deal after something insane like 33 months.

He was happy to have that deal done.

> Is it reasonable to expect Facebook to do all those things, compared to other choices that are consistent, neutral, and inevitably result in various type I and type II errors with respect to the nature and purposes of posts related to violence?

I’ll grant that we’re in uncharted territory as far as the scale and depth of what a company like Facebook has to deal with on a regular basis regarding the amount and variance in the content that they see and manage. That said, Facebook constantly tells us how they want to change the world for the better.

If that’s not just marketing bullshit and they want us to take them at their word, then they need to recognize that the position they’ve put themselves in demands a level of accountability and responsibility that they’re clearly not comfortable with. Ultimately, citizens should be able to define what’s reasonable to expect out of Facebook, not the difficulty of a particular content problem. Becoming one of the largest tech companies in existence doesn’t grant one immunity from real problems involving their content.

If Facebook can’t manage their content at scale to address these kinds of issues, then perhaps they shouldn’t be managing content at this kind of scale.
Are there state border crossings doing additional inspections I am unaware of?

Just to make a more concrete example, washing out salvage title in Oklahoma comes down to showing up at the DMV and getting a stamp.

>Change of classification. Vehicles over 10 model years old may go in to, or come out of, salvage at any time. _No inspection is required to bring such vehicles out of salvage_.

>Out-of-state salvage titles. Vehicles over 10 model years old entering Oklahoma with an out-of-state salvage title may receive either a salvage title or standard (green) title with a salvage date listed.

For comparison in Germany you can lose registration title for mounting non TÜV certified spoiler/bumper/hood.
