I don't think suspensions are the answer either since kids will just play video games at home. But what about in school suspensions? Doing your homework in a broom closet for the entire day without your phone or seeing your friends will quell disruptive behavior quick. It worked at my school doing just that.
Ha, thanks for the feedback. I'll address all the things I can from your list. Of the visual artefacts, only the last one makes sense to me, a lost mouseout event overtaken by events (yes, I was lazy.) Think it's possible the first two weirdnesses have to do with browser / video driver render optimizations? If you give me your OS / browser / ver / possibly graphics card, I could see if I can replicate it or do something about it.

The first two kind of look like a glitch introduced by a boundary of a blur filter. The individual tiles, when blurred, have an SVG filter (feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="3,3" or "7,5") applied to them. As a performance optimization, think this SVG library (Snap, successor to RaphaelJS) sets that filter to just barely fit over the element in question.

But if the elements move or if the viewport is manipulated to accommodate pan and zoom, these filters visually glitch. You start seeing parts of the blur kind of weirdly clipped off in middle of nowhere. To counter this visual glitch, I overrode the sizes of these filters to an absurd amount, going from -10000,-10000 to 10000,10000, and that fixed the initial rendering problem. But what you're showing kind of looks like a browser or library isn't honoring the set size of the blur filters and render updates from a mouse over/out are triggering a bad restoration of appearance.

As to the wonky grid, think it might be partly due to scaling and integer precision of the hexagon positioning and how various transforms are applied. The positions of tiles are transforms, ints with no decimal precision, but the transformation matrix for the zoom function is very floaty. How a browser handles that intersection of numbers and precisions is magic. At some zoom levels or window proportions (when i fiddle with it), the spacing gets truncated this way and that and some of them look like they round up or down. Maybe I'll offset those pixels by 0.5 and see if there's improvement.
Or they just use the USB2 cable from their previous iPhone.
Most organic matter decaying behind dams is carried in by the river after the initial flooding. Rivers carry a lot of organic matter like tree branches and in floods even entire trees down stream and sometimes all the way to the ocean. Some of that ends up as driftwood on beaches, and some of that gets turned into methane “biologically in anoxic (oxygen-depleted) sediments at the seafloor.”

>You can never trust that your connection is end to end encrypted unless you run encryption yourself

I also can't trust that the meat I buy in the supermarket actually has in it what it says on the packaging technically speaking unless I slaughter a pig myself. Obviously this isn't a reasonable standard to treat anything by.

When a company goes out of their way to actually sell you E2E encryption and the company actually is fairly known and thus liable I can at the very least assume, for practical purposes that they're not lying to me until proven otherwise because they're risking their entire reputation and probably a very costly legal battle.

Do-it-yourself encryption isn't really realistic because it's not going to be used by ~99% of people.
I've always found it frustrating that a lot of fantasy has to be in trilogies. I almost always wait for all three books, for the whole story to be finished, before I'll start.
One of those easy methods might actually work by affecting the "calories in". I mean, not everything you eat is processed by your body; some potential calories may be simply excreted. I can imagine how a pill, composition of food, or even the timing of it, might influence the gut flora, which in turn would change how many calories are actually extracted from the food.

This is the danger I see in simple slogans, that they make people automatically dismiss potential solutions. Of course, if a successful solution is found, it will be obvious in hindsight that CICO didn't actually contradict it. But no one who is happy with CICO as an answer is looking in that direction now.

EDIT: Same objection applies to "calories out". How do you spend calories? Typically by exercise or sport. But that way you can only spend calories that are currently stored in your muscles. What about calories that are currently stored in your fat cells -- how do you move them from there, into your muscles? Again, I imagine that a pill, or a change of diet, could make this more easy or difficult.
A. Chinese government coercion typically only extends to users who are physically in China. They mostly just want to suppress organized political behavior. So they don't usually care about what users are talking about outside their borders.

B. By not being based in China, they can publicly say something about IF it it happens to be the case otherwise, and also have the choice to exit China if they wish. If they were based in China they may be forced to keep quiet.

(That said, there is also US government coercion, so it's about which evil you think is worse, I guess. I'd honestly rather they were based in Sweden or some other place.)
This article lacks any substance. Don’t waste your time.

We'll have to run our own fork of Chromium, just to run uBO. And that makes sense: it's strange to call a browser supplied by an ad company a "user agent".
It was hyperbole, but the point still stands. 3000 kids, not everyone is making the soccer team.
I generally prefer long, integrated stories (I have reasonably good discipline about only watching one episode a night). Next Gen and SG-1 both occupy a nice middle ground, because even if the episodes are self-contained, they still engage in character development and reference previous events. Those shows are also nice in that manage to tell compelling stories without being overly melodramatic - so many shows now (especially sci-fi) are just re-skinned soap operas.

Watching shows like ST:TOS are painful for me now. That there is absolutely no connection from one episode to the next means that I have pretty much no investment in what happens. I only watched TOS just to complete the Star Trek lore, but in general I avoid such stories.
Another tip: Do not waste any time applying to posts by recruiters. They are mostly useless for coding, and they are totally useless for people like you. Find out if the application is a recruiter before you send anything in, as lots of them make posts that sound like they aren't middle men. This is what stack overflow jobs has done so well... way better signal-to-noise than any other options.
The general population doesn’t easily install software. They’ll just lose access to FTP. PDF viewers got integrated into browsers because some users don’t have standalone PDF viewers installed, or they were broken, or they couldn’t find the PDF they just downloaded.

Average people use what comes preinstalled. They might not be allowed to install software. Users get stranded on old versions that have to be supported. Install base, “it just works,” and lowest common denominator is crucial if you are working with anyone outside your household or organization. Internet downloads made software distribution much cheaper. App stores fixed the “first Google result is malware” problem. But people will still install an app at much lower rates than clicking something that loads in the browser.

FTP as a whole should be replaced but the average person doesn’t have an easy SFTP client installed.

Not OP, but I was similarly tired of building optics and plays on permanent roles - that is inevitable part of the ladder competition. I also love programing since being kid.

Now I am expert for hire, contractor, mercenary. Surely I try to read politics for my own benefit, is it for securing contract extension or jumping onto more interesting project within the organization.
However I don't have to play games to chase bonuses and perks - solid daily rate exceeds all that. No racing with goals or reviews - choose own path, trainings, conferences, transferable skills. No need to believe in management success propaganda - we do professional business, I sell my expertise they make use of it. Not volountieering my precious weekend time to make bosses happy - overtime? eventually, here is the rate.

A bit of ego and sales talk is needed too to get foot in the door and then sometimes to convince them to hear your advice. I am there to help, get job done under agreed conditions and leave with more experience, grown reputation, and new contacts in my network.
As long as I can't middle click it's a proof of concept for me, not a game.

The main reason is FTP is often used with untrusted external third parties and configured by enterprise IT staff who only half know what they're doing, and SFTP is really SSH. That makes it really easy to misconfigure it in such a way that the SFTP users can get a shell, which is a giant footgun.

Meanwhile the biggest problem with FTPS is just that people misconfigure their own firewalls to prohibit outgoing connections to arbitrary ports for no good reason. (Spoiler alert: All the bad outgoing stuff these days is on TCP/443). Which fails by getting your users to complain to you to fix it, instead of failing by silently giving attackers instant RCE.
"squeezing their customers yet again"

What qualifies as that exactly?

But why then can particles in different universes interact with each other (or even themselves)?
I wonder if some part of the answer is in the vibration affecting cell behavior (regeneration, reduced inflammation).

Vibration sometimes increases circulation to areas being vibrated, and increased circulation feeds more oxygen to cells while they are being agitated.
Mozilla is almost entirely funded by Google.
It was Opera perhaps?

In the nineties i was in the bussiness of dial-up internet providers here in Brazil and remember how handy was Opera back then.

For instance, it was a great dial up manager back then, and it made the effort of installing dial up clients on Windows machines very easy.

Considering many people have already voted and probably do not care about this issue it would be unlikely to affect the outcome of the election anyway.
I love this idea!

That is just wrong. Tesla might have some QA issues, but claiming its easy to grow 40-50% a year just because you have some QA issues is one of the single dumbest things I have ever heard.

And while they have some issue, the quality in terms of the actual core component of the cars is superior to what anybody else has. Not to mention things like software that absolutely suck ass on my cars.

Just look at all the recent issues other companies had with quality of these things. But of course those are not in the media even 1/100 as much so people who only look for reasons to disparage Tesla find easy ammunition.
Very likely. But more studies would be needed. The best phase diagram for H2S and methane that I could find only went up to ~140 barr. Though there were some interesting papers on clathrates and methane in the kilo-barr range, but I'd not think those were interesting for deep earth experiments. The deep earth is ~3.3 mega-barr, for comparison.

The New York Post is not a serious newspaper; it is a sensationalist tabloid. Sometimes the NYPost will report on real news, but I believe absolutely nothing they report until it is verified by the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, or other major broadcast outlet with actual journalistic standards.
First, it takes years to become true expert in a particular branch of software development. There is no switch career button. You just have to put in the hours to grow as a developer. You will spend the rest of your thirties just catching up with your peers. It's for you to decide whether you have the patience to do that persistently.

Second, like any other white collar job, your earning potential is heavily backloaded. An early career software developer doesn't really make a lot of money. Even assuming that you are good, you well be well into your forties before you start making the big bucks. In the meantime, you'll be earning significantly less than your peers.

Third, you could really screw up your WLB if you don't choose your employer right. People with non-traditional background often end up in terrible companies which use developers as expendable labor in stead of investing in their growth.

I highly recommend that you explore opportunities in software development, but be aware of the challenges.

Much like the HN thread that applauded FB getting rid of some thousands of accounts related to “right wingers”, QAnon, et cetera, I equally applaud this admirable move.

I hope that FB, Twitter, Google, Cloudflare and others continue to block and close accounts to prevent the intervention of democracy as much as possible.

A similar case to this may have been the reason why Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election in 2016. So these are all parties who are trying to right the wrongs here done by destructive state actors from abroad.

These are all companies who own the servers that this content sits on, and it’s well within their rights to get rid of it if and when they wish to.

If you don’t want your content removed from there, then don’t post there and don’t use their services. Simple as that.
Spotify GDPR data request–here is what you get
Three days ago in the discussion of Spotify making it harder for third party services to transfer playlists from Spotify to other services, the idea of getting that data via GDPR requests came up. I made such a request, and the data arrived today. This submission is a description of that information.

It was a zip file that included a Read_Me_First.pdf and 8 JSON files.

The 6 page long PDF is just some information about your GDPR and California privacy law rights, and contact information to request more information such as technical log information, extended streaming history, or other special data they collect to provide and troubleshoot the service. It's 6 pages because they have that information in 21 languages.

The JSON files are named Follow, Inferences, Payments, Playlist1, SearchQueries, StreamingHistory0, Userdata, and YourLibrary.

Playlist1 appears to contain all of my playlists, and would be sufficient for recreating them on another service.

For the curious, I'll describe the rest in a comment.

Is music better off now than 100 years ago?

Sure, there is a greater variety of music than probably ever in the history of humanity.

On the other hand, I think a much smaller proportion of humanity is participating and creating music than ver before - the rise of recorded music has made folklore music all but obsolete - there is essentially no new folk music being produced, maybe for the first time in history.

Of course, Spotify is still driving in this same direction, and maybe it will be even worse.
Here's what else is included:

Follow is a list of artists I follow. There does not appear to be a distinction between artists I purposefully followed and artists Spotify automatically followed on my behalf, but that could just be because I have never purposefully followed anyone.

Inferences is a list of strings such as "2P_Nexcare_IRI > Buyers Of Nexcare Brand Products Within Last 104W > Verified_10July2020_US", "3P_Reality TV Enthusiasts_UK", "Cookie Audience NOT Matched to PPIDs", "3P__Isotonic Beverage Category_Heavy Buyers_US", and a bunch of more like that. Almost certainly something to do with advertising (although I have a paid subscription, not an ad supported...and most of them reference products or even entire product categories that I have never once in my life bought or even showed any interest in).

Payments has my credit card information, with all but the last 4 digits of the card number masked.

SearchQueries has my searches from the last ~3 months, tagged by platform ("DESKTOP", "IPHONE_ARM64"). I don't think the IPHONE_ARM64 is actually my iPhone. I'm pretty sure most or all of those were from my iPad.

StreamingHistory0 appears to be every song I played through Spotify in the last year. For each it lists the end time in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" format, the number of milliseconds the song played, the track name, and the artist name.

Userdata is what you would expect. It has fields named userName, email, country, createdFromFacebook, facebookUid, birthdate, gender, postalCode, mobileNumber,, mobileOperator, mobileBrand, and creationTime. For me createdFromFacebook is set to false, facebookUid set to null, mobileOperator is "None" and the other mobile fields are null. I'm sure they could have probably deduced some of those, but have not, and I've never noticed them asking for that information either, so I'm curious how they ever get populated.

Finally, YourLibrary has information about your library. The JSON object has separate properties for tracks, albums, shows, episodes, bannedTracks, and other.

The album property corresponds to "Albums" in your library, and the tracks corresponds to "Liked Songs". How the rest matches up, I don't know. The library in the GUI has "Made For You", "Recently Played", "Artists", and "Podcosts". I don't have anything in any of those, so don't know how they map to properties in YourLibrary.

I have one album in the album section of my library, and that shows up under albums in the JSON. All the tracks of that album show up under the tracks section of the JSON.

If you're going to repeatedly insinuate in your comments to me and others that the price to manufacture could have gone up over time, you should have some theory to back it. It's not my job to disprove pure speculation, especially when it goes against the general and well-known trend that manufacturing yields go up over time, and this drives down cost.

I used to have serious sinus issues but these days it's mostly fine.

Once again, it seems the issue is less about Google (or any company) restricting you having a personal opinion about issues that affect the bottom line at work, but instead is about the disingenuous pretense that they don't restrict you.
