So you're claiming if this was kept secret the odds of catching the person would increase dramatically?

What stats do you base this on?

>as would be standard under such situations

Where is this standard? There are plenty of indictments issued all the time followed by arrests. What evidence do you have that unsealed indictments has a higher arrest rate?

Honestly, I think the furries have it right, at least in concept. (I know a surprising many of them.) They've solved racism and sexism by abandoning the vestiges of these notions altogether.

I wish the real world was just as blind.

Why do people have to behave like the tribalistic great apes we descended from? It's 2020 and we have rockets that travel to Mars and beyond.

So many people love to bully...
I’ve been “blipping the throttle” to add accelerant to these kinds of absurd happenings for exactly this reason.

The sooner society recoils toward valuing personal liberty and responsibility again, the better!

These absurdly tone deaf and hateful “anti-fascist” fascists are going to go down in the history books as one of the most ridiculous groups of thugs we’ve seen in the short and violent (but mostly peaceful) history of America...

I find Ethernet, when available tends to work out best... I've yet to see a wifi printer that works well/consistently. Though lots of higher end routers can act as a USB print server as well.
You've reposted this same thing 3 times. Copy pasting it to every thread about Rust is called spamming.
i think any software that only highlights its benefits is inherently deceptive. i have to go and figure out the fundamentals and see if i can surmise the tradeoffs.

one top of mind example is event streaming like kafka. sure it has benefits but as soon as start using streams like a WAL and turn your application into a database with ACID guarantees you’re going to blanket regret going with event streaming. you might call that user error but enterprise support won’t tell you stop using it that way
The longer we live, the more I wonder if there is a time where we do have to start talking about population growth and the risks of people living longer. Should science bring us to a point of substantial extension and longevity, the demands on the planet will continue to grow exponentially.

It's going to be a hard discussion for sure.
The Lessons of Trump University
I'm not sure how well this is going to go over, but whenever I read something along these lines, I can't help but wonder, what's the end goal of all this?

Complete segregation? Apartheid? Set up bubbles where only people of certain colours or orientations can go, work, etc?

Why would anyone actually want this? I've met a lot of different people from a lot of different places, the things i've found the least important for determining the character of a person are their colour or orientation or any other equally superficial thing like the colour of their hair, or eyes or how tall they are or any of these other things that have absolutely nothing to do with the character and personality of a person.

Dividing, segregating, judging or making any kind of decisions based on a person's skin colour just overall makes you a shitty person. Regardless of who you are or how much privilege you think that person has over you.
I swear it's a modern day Shibboleth[0]. I mean, just look at the picture in that article of the pogrom. Villagers displaying pictures/support for Jesus during pogram == internet denizens (and companies) showing that they denounce racism. Or to use another biblical analogy, I suspect a lot of times when a company publically denounces racism, what they are really doing is painting lamb's blood above their doorway in the hope that the "destroying angel" (mobs) will pass by them.

why can "a kid" be lazy, but not a "homeschooled kid?

What's the role of literacy if you don't use it? What's the use of literacy without engagement?

There are lots of ways to learn things without reading. While I personally taught my kids reading at an earlier age than 10 (they are also not home-schooled), I've also seen kids learn "late" but still learn as needed. I also see a ton of kids who can't read even though they were "taught it" early.

On a side note, Montessori methods for teaching are quite interesting in how they use materials to teach concepts most traditional schools rely on abstract ideas and worksheets. They don't need to read to do the Montessori materials, but worksheets certainly require some level of reading to understand what's to be done.
practically if you are dealing with large enterprise customers it's better to use qualitative data from your account managers to figure out how much risk there is with each customer.
Is using IAM with managed serverless products (Run, Functions) effectively same as using IAP+VMs? Curious if there is a world in which managed Cloud Run + IAP makes sense.
> But yeah, if you use someone's services and then publicly talk trash about them? Why should they be forced to continue to do business with you?

Nobody said they have to, just that it's very dangerous to depend on such a service. I say bad things about companies all the time!
I have no idea what this is about after reading the first 3 paragraphs, so I stopped reading.
>Signal is OSS and you can start your own fork & network if you want to.

Resources and network effects make this a much much less likely endeavor than in federated systems. I can reasonably (and do!) self-host Matrix and XMPP servers for myself and a few friends; I cannot reasonably host a Signal server for everyone I might want to possibly contact via Signal. (And that's setting aside the effort involved in convincing everyone I might possibly want to contact to use my Signal server. It's just not going to happen.)

EDIT: Oh, and I don't think the VoIP side of the Signal server is FOSS? At least I believe that used to be the case.

>App publishing platforms not having a good binary signature verification system is the orthogonal issue that you're bringing up, that would in many ways apply to matrix for most users too. Most will never bother to sideload it.

If the main client developers are pressured to put a backdoor into their client, I would expect non-backdoored forks to rapidly pop up in the stores.

If the platform provider is also legally pressured to not allow any non-backdoored clients into the store... well, I hope that never happens, but if we get to that point I hope more people would bother to learn more and start sideloading things. Maybe wishful thinking on my part.
One of the fascinating aspects of the Trump phenomenon to me is how a globalist billionaire celebrity who started his career with a million dollar loan from his father managed to convince a demographic that hates globalists, billionaires and celebrities that he was the scrappy underdog and hero of the common man running against someone with a fraction of his net worth, a better pedigree of political advocacy and who actually held down a real job at least once.

Granted, it amounts to the difference between a silver spoon and a platinum spoon but it's still surprising.
https://github.com/KDE/kdiff3

In theory there's newer builds of kdiff3 but I've not had any luck running the Windows versions & I don't think there's been significant improvements to the manual alignment code which still require a lot of battling to get the right outcome.
Social media is truly terrifying, it seems to be leading to more and more extreme takes by each side of any issue. There's 0 middle ground, as should be obvious here (the article in question was about hate crimes against 3 Muslims!).
I have migraines. 1 day out of 5 (on average) I have to take a triptan pill that has quite nasty side effects on me. Those however are still better than what happens if I don't take the pill. The condition also imposes some restrictions on the food I can eat and on my sleep schedule. I can't drink alcohol at all. I can't function in poorly ventilated areas.
There used to be a larger such supplemental warranty, so the headline does match the content.

What's not clear from the article is what used to happen if you bought a Tesla on the cusp of the main warranty expiring. It seems to imply you were just out of luck. I doubt that's true.

Poorly written article.
> But, they're largely on the same side

There's no such thing for the people who buy into this kind of identity politics.

Any difference in views, no matter how small is irreconcilable. No leeway is allowed. The best option for any reasonable person is to keep quiet, stay as far away from these hypocrites as possible and hope that when they inevitably self-destruct, none of the fallout lands on you.
The era of asking for cookies has already become a thing of the past for me, it's gone the way of autoplaying videos, advertisements, tracking cookies and paywalls. All things to look back on with a feeling of nostalgia.

I think this is the most commonly used plugin for that: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu

(and yeah, it does accept all cookies by default, but the adblocker already deals with that).
Not going to argue with you that the field isn't broken -- it very clearly is -- but the problem the article explains is a rather simple one.

Your setting could be non-contractual. You might not be able to have reliable data to frame the problem as survival analysis with censored data. You might have different groups of customers with different behaviors.

Assuming a constant failure rate is the same as assuming the underlying process is Poisson, which is not an entirely stupid working hypothesis in many cases.

The moral of the story is "by the love of god look at your data before making dumb models".
AlphaZero / LeelaChess - neural net / genetic learning based ones; although they're not really commercially available, technically anyone can download the code to LeelaChess and train it if given enough CPU power. They learn chess by repeatedly playing chess against itself and in such a way simulate the organic development that has occurred in human play as well.

That's the next generation of chess engines - AlphaZero trounced Stockfish in a match of 100 games with 28 wins and 72 draws and not a single loss. And if you decrease the power a little bit (take an earlier generation), it makes significantly more human-like moves than Stockfish.
If you're printing a LOT of color, especially photo paper, those seem to be about the only good option around for most people.

I'm pretty happy with my color laser, I don't print much, just replaced my black and about to replace the color tonor cartridges after about 5 years on the ones that came in the box.
You can optionally add your public identifiers to Matrix (phone, email, etc), which lets people search for you via identity providers.

What Signal does is 1) require your phone number, 2) automatically upload every phone number in your contacts, and 3) send a push notification to people on Signal that have uploaded your number in the past that you have joined.

It's a world of difference. And a huge breach of implied trust for multiple people I've known, who joined and immediately uninstalled when they found out a bunch of random people were notified.

> EDIT: Heh, deep blue’s famous match happened in 1997. I guess this really is possible. It’s weird growing up with the idea that “every chess engine can beat humans every time”; I wonder when that became true.

There is an interesting section in Hofstaeder's Gödel, Escher, Bach from 1979 where he speculates that, despite the rapid progress of technology, computers might never be able to play chess at a human level!
This is the comment I was hoping to find here.

> Ideally we're all rationalists who can hear each other out and come to an understanding, but it's hard to think rationally about politics.

I wonder if it's not just hard, but maybe even damn near (cognitively) impossible to be rational about politics, and other culture war topics. It seems to do very strange things to the mind.
It's not possible to be racist to white people. It's not racist by definition.
> made a mistake in submitting her article unknowingly to a blog that doesn't accept articles from white women

I am still pretty aghast that the liberal side thinks that is acceptable without irony.
It's really dead simple, look at my other comment in the same thread. The only caveat is that all those fancy words before are actually necessary minimal hypotheses, not just fancy words.
If Tesla is now having the same policies as most other car makers, they're losing their 'we're different than big car makers street cred'

But they haven't yet shown themselves to be a big car maker in other important ways, like making a consistent product, or not attacking their customers (some deceased) on twitter.
I can only think of few more radioactive topics and just like in WarGames: The only winning move is not to play.

EDIT: A more nuanced answer less prone to misinterpretation: I don't think there's a clear good answer w.r.t the topic at hand because no matter how you answer, even the most well-meaning and best-argumented answer would be, well, prone to misinterpretation.
A snag doesn't draw any water, though, so it seems like you could leave them standing while culling live trees to reduce the areal water demand, right?

Your face can easily be mimicked.

Article: "I was ushered into a dome-like studio containing 50 cameras [...] The final model took a few days to generate at the cost of just over £300."

I don't how that can be characterized as "easily." Possible, yes, but not easy. And it still didn't fool FaceID.
Inkjet printers are for photos and fine art. If you're not printing those, you should probably go with a laser printer. If you are printing those, you should probably go with a laser printer anyway for all the miscellaneous documents you use.

(That said, I just got an Epson P900 which will do borderless 17x22"/A2 printing with archival pigment inks <3 <3 <3 which is a little bit prone to clogging as a general rule, but still)
Dutch state fighting open-hardware movement
I created an open-hardware project and got part of my inspiration while working for the Dutch State (TNO). The core idea is that a laser bundle is moved by rotating a prism. The Dutch state got a patent for a plurality of laser bundles but not for a single laser bundle. For the printed circuit board application, it founded LDI Systems in 2015. This failed and they wasted multiple million tax dollars. I only spent 10K dollars on a working system and paid taxes. I thought they would leave it there. But TNO requested a loan from the Dutch government (NWO) to pump 250K euro into a new shell company AM systems BV for the 3D printing application. This allows them to circumvent tender law and spent the money at free will. Most likely they will redirect the money to an optical consultancy.
This is crazy! How can a country that created Python be so against open hardware!? Why do nation states create shell companies to escape their own tender laws, they could simply change the law!
It was misspelt in the article. If you clicked through to the Twitter thread you'll see that her name is Senti, not Senji.
If I want to use modern features, I’ll just use Perl or Python, both of which are also available literally everywhere.
Its often cheaper to hire a few devs to work on opensource projects your company relies on than pay for some proprietary software. Also allows you to retain control too.
I think a safer approach would be "home after schooling" or to follow this new terminology "unafterschooling".

Basically give kids time for unstructured learning using the hours after school/after homework study time that are currently effectively used up toiling at zero sum, super structured activities strictly aimed at getting into college.
I've noticed a quirk when communicating over IM with many of my Indian colleagues. They use two dots (..) really often and I'm not sure how to interpret it. If I view it as equivalent to a three for ellipsis, it often comes across as rude or passive aggressive which I can't believe to be the intention.

Is anyone else familiar with this and can shed some light?
School auctions are great for finding printers going out of service, got about 7 years out of an old HP 4000 (BW only) before it died, and probably had 10 years in service before that, best $35 I think I ever spent, and never even had to order toner, it had a fresh large capacity cartridge when I got it.
WiFi printers work great--assuming you assign them a static IP address and you set it up by telling Windows/OS X to use that IP address as the port address instead of any goofy auto detect nonsense pushed on you by the manufacturer.
I think work arounds being easier doesn't really need any empirical data to back it up. By having the source code, a lot more people will be able to make sense of it and figure out how to change (or even fork) the original software. I'd say that's pretty much a corollary.

On the other hand, I think free software probably tend to break backward compatibility less mainly because it moves at a slower pace (be it because it's designed by committee or just lack resources). With software as a service in special, breaking changes is sort of the industry norm. So, there's also that cultural component to it. But it's difficult to measure the rate at which free software introduces breaking changes vs proprietary software.
great to see something that can boost tech-collaboration amongst wall street players.

I think for something such as a unix-style CLI tool that does one thing, and one thing only, non-commercial community-driven development works great.

For anything else, not so much. It is not possible to imagine a video game produced by an open community, because it requires the vision of an auteur, not design-by-consensus. That requires hierarchy, or solo development. Both realistically require a lot of resources and thus are overwhelmingly commercial in nature.

The year of the linux desktop seems to never arrive because all of the support and integration of the various components requires constant application of labor by an army of people, if it is to be usable. Android and Ubuntu might be able to succeed, but "the community" will not.

The community can maintain stuff that is "boring," where there is no controversy. When the right approach is clear to all. The community can write an emulator, but cannot write a video game. It can write a kernel, but cannot support a whole distro that "just works" for normal people.

Maybe in some distant future when there is no constant churn of new features and drivers and rewrites then we can have an open community-maintained distro that actually works for a normal person. Doubt such a time will ever arrive, but if it did then and only then would OSes become boring.

Web rendering engines are complex and happen to be open source nowadays, but are commercially supported and wrapped in proprietary packages. Mozilla is failing to keep up with gecko, so the last non-commercial rendering engine is dying a slow death. It was able to succeed somewhat because following standards is straightforward and thus can be considered "boring." Some have likened browser development to emulator development.

But packaging it all up nicely and providing the best possible user experience? I wouldn't count on it.
That's what they suggest using in "more information" article, which is hilarious.

I don't think any of those were alternatives for gaming, which is what it was (still is?) marketed for.

If you wanted to play a game and do voice chat with a group of friends, TeamSpeak, Discord, and Mumble were the only options that were group-first (easier to do lobbies than single-person calls). Discord's UI is 2 decades ahead of Mumble / TS, and it's free.
