Vague video. I have never looked at Portugal from a country stability point of view. Let's look together.

Unitary semi-presidential constitutional republic

"Socialist party" recently took power in the country; 47% of the seats from 36% of the vote. So they have a misrepresentative electoral system that is disenfranchising the vote.

2nd Quarter of 2020: GDP shrank -3.8%

3rd Quarter of 2020: GDP shrank -13.9%

Portugal is in recession.

2013 or so unemployment was at 18% and has been reducing consistently since down to roughly 6%.

Inflation since around 2013 has been very unstable. The country has been teetering on deflation for 7 years in the same period as the high unemployment.

Bank interest rate has been set to 0% since around 2016.

Balance of trade has been negative for at least the last 25 years; the wealth of the country is escaping.

Government debt to GDP is over 100% which is bad; currently at 117.2% reduced from peak of 131.5% in 2016.

The government just balanced their budget.

Corporate tax rate has reduced from 55% down to 21% over the last 35 years.

Personal income tax has increase from 40% to 48% in the last 25 years.

Sales tax is at 23% up from 17% in 2000.

Participation rate was around 60% during the 2000s but during financial crisis reduced to 49% and has increased to around 56%. Huge sign that the incumbant government tinkered with this number to reduce the unemployment figures. Bad sign that other economic numbers have been tinkered with.

Employment rate. 55.8% before Covid, 53.2% now. Unemployment 6.7% to 5.6% now? Confirmed government is erronenously tinkering with the numbers. I would estimate their unemployment rate is up around 10-12% right now.

Minimum wage has increased from 565.83$ to 740.83$. Their unemployment is very high and minimum wage is increasing? This is a very bad sign.

HOLY SHIT, Private debt to GDP peaked around 2012 at 320.8% reduced to around 248.2% currently. This is 148.2% too high. Portugal is in a debt crisis.

Credit rating of BBB. This is the last rating before it's considered 'speculative' or 'junk' so basically Portugal is about to be in financial crisis akin to Greece.

The only good news I can find is that household debt to income has decreased below 100%. It's most recently at 93%.

Portugal is about to go through a very tough decade. Legalization of drugs is the very least of their concerns.

I think a lot of people only experience ikea through the absolute cheapest tier of their products. I actually like this stuff because it tends to be super light, making it ideal for the phase of life where you move to a different apartment every year or two. stuff inevitably gets damaged during a move anyway, so I mostly have cheap furniture that I don't care about.

even with the cheapest stuff, I find a little care goes a long way. my cheap ikea bed frame has been moved and reassembled twice now and it still holds a mattress off the floor just fine.
I don't think it is a foreigner thing. I have travelled a lot in India as well and I find your statement not representative of the actual ground situation.

Infrastructure sure is not well done but the electricity bit is not true at least from what I have seen.

If you are in a city like New Delhi/Mumbai, most homes/hotels do have reliable power. For rare cuts most have power through power backups.

If you visit remote places, it is definitely worse. They have electrified a lot of places, but power is absent most of the times in the day. Some people rely on solar powered batteries for basic electrification at night. I have never seen a powerline burning though.

In cities there are internet providers which do better than others, so it might have been your luck with some bad provider; but they are not even present in remote places.

LTE based mobile internet has coverage problem in cities with pockets that get bad coverage, otherwise the provider 'Airtel' that I have used while traveling does seem to perform well in cities. Remote places have no coverage from LTE providers as well.

MONEY BEHIND...that's something else. And the Athletes don't pay for the Stuff, AND it's not in every sport and not every sport profits from doping.

They guarantee 7 years of availability for Compute Modules, including this one, so... prepare to be surprised.

They had plenty of time over the last 16 months since the launch of Pi 4 to decide how many SKUs to make for the Compute Module. This certainly wasn't done on a whim by some inexperienced team, which is what your post seems to imply. They've been doing this for years, and they realize the commitment they're making.
Hey! Thanks a lot for the appreciation!
Yes, as we need access to the serial port to connect with the Arduino, we currently need to rely on a native app, the browser does not allow us to do so at the moment. If this would be the case in the future, we would consider this of course as well.
I went to a restaurant the other day and it had one of those Coke Freestyle soda machines. There was a QR code on the screen which I scanned with my phone. This opened a website with drink choices. I put my cup under the dispenser and pushed the Barq's Root Beer button on the website on my phone which dispensed the drink from the machine.

> When you invest in a startup, the money directly goes to the economy to build up a business, to create jobs and to actually contribute to the trickle down economy. On the contrary, investing in the public market is simply buying stocks from other investors.

This was a very informative and well-written article, but it pains me to see this misconception.

Buying investments in the secondary market does not in any way "keep money out of the economy". Aggregate savings equals aggregate investment. Period. It's one of the most fundamental tenets of macroeconomics.[1]

How do we square that with what we actually see? Certainly it's the case that if you go out and buy 100 shares of Apple, it's not like Apple receives a check. Yet for every buyer there has to be a seller. If you buy 100 shares, the seller now has $120,000 of liquid cash to reinvest somewhere else.

That seller may then originate a new primary investment himself. Or he may turn around and make a secondary investment, in which case the next seller faces the same choice. He may even just park the cash in a bank, who will then use his reserves to make loans (primary investments) or buy securities (secondary investments).

But either way every secondary investment results in a net cash balance, that then has to be reinvested by the next party in the chain. No matter how long the chain is, the supply of secondary investments is fixed. Any new capital invested in the secondary market must result in new economic investment in some way or another.

I think the poster is referring to sub-Saharan yields, not these test plots.
The catch is this is like LeBron James saying, 'see it is easy to win championships in the NBA' because he's a .00001% outlier.

The system like the ones in the linked article are complicated, and the stated yields and profits likely represent an idealized top 1% percentile.
There's a "no news" zone between a discovery and proliferation. In 1997, deep blue become superhuman.. proving the point. The average consumer engine was still like average tournament player with really weird moves. It took another decade before superhuman engines became widely available to normal people.

That decade gap is where we often mispredict the future. Once a point is proven, we expect instant impact. Reality takes time.

It took 15-20 years after superhuman chess engines were invented before they really impacted chess. Cheating is one impact, but novelty is another one. "Computer moves" are learned by GMs and played in world class tournaments. Contributing novelties is a mark of influence in chess. Even computer strategies are starting to appear in human tournaments.
But the principle of equivalence is not included in the Poincaré group.
"Big impact" is understating it. It's caused at least one financial crisis when Scholes and Merton's hedge fund (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management) went boom in the late nineties.

Since then the assumptions present in Black-Scholes and similar pricing models have caused considerable chaos elsewhere in finance. One of those things that perhaps it would have been better that they had not invented. Professionally it was great for the inventors though: they won the Nobel Prize at the time.

How much money is behind those sports? Hint...NOT much. We Talk about Cycling, Athletics, Football and so on..

No you don't.

BTW: I knew for a Fact that Lance Armstrong was the biggest Cycle Pro ever born and he would never need doping because he was just in another league then anyone else.

I would assume this applies to LineageOS users as well.
Thanks for sharing, that site is awesome.
@octoberfranklin. Agreed. You are correct. The law is more nuanced. Mine was intended to be a short example for a layperson. I thought a nuanced 10,000 word response might be overkill in this forum. :-)
My intention was to point out that a short provisional patent application prepared by a non-expert in patent law may end up not providing the intended protection.
Yes, we are working on it for Windows at least. As we are doing this project on the side, I unfortunately am not able to tell you when the Windows version would be released.
A PWA is not possible at the moment due to the missing access to the serial ports, but once this is granted, we intend it as well!
If embedding grants the site owner the ability to execute privileged code on my system, it is unreasonable. I wouldn't expect or want YouTube to gain full access to my system (or my user account at least) when I run a chat program.

Bug bounty reporter cashes out on someone else's vulnerability exploit
Monero staff has stated in the same HackerOne report that even though the bug was plagiarized, that they are unable to withdraw the already-paid sum of money.

"NB: this disclosure was stolen (!!) from Guido Vranken's original disclosure without any credit given to him. We missed that this was ripped straight from there as our focus was on reproducing the issue and fixing it. This is beyond scummy. Please don't do this. We've reached out to Guido to pay him a bounty; sadly we can't redact the bounty from Everton Melo."

IKEA has different product lines at different price points. They give the option of going with particle board, but spend more money and you get much longer lasting furniture.

Realistically, for people that move around a lot having a very cheap option to fit each living space is just efficient. Particleboard is effectively a form of wood recycling so using it is surprisingly environmentally friendly even if doesn’t last very long. However, once you buy a place it’s time to get something that lasts.
I think it's a human thing. It bypasses your logical mind by making you angry and it happens fast. Without you even realizing.
Mutation is the scapegoat here. It's all about expressing intent.

Eg: I would take a count_if(condition) function over filtering and then taking the length.
That depends on where you are. Here every billboard and its cousin have a QR code. So does the beer at the local gas station.
> What is often overlooked about Jordan Peterson’s views on the subject is that he is totally on board with using inclusive language in a private context. He just doesn’t want it to be legally enforced. This is an important distinction.

I much appreciate the author emphasizing this point, because I think it's crucial and often missed. It's perfectly fine for people to use language that they feel is more inclusive, but not so fine when they try to enforce the boundaries, particularly at the point of a gun, which all laws imply.

But I think that distinction should extend to non-legal "policing". If I say "guys" or "mankind" in a sense that is meant to be inclusive, but someone else interprets that as not inclusive, I don't feel responsible for their interpretation, any more than I would feel responsible for someone's misinterpretation of "niggardly". They can choose to be offended, but if that clearly was not my intent, I don't feel the need to accommodate them. I've found that some people have a desire, even a mission to feel offended, and don't feel that it helps either of us to tiptoe around their neurosis. Because of the seemingly infinite flexibility of their offense taking, I couldn't fail to offend no matter how much I tried, and I've learned that by trying and trying and trying.

If I say a phrase that has long meant "all of you", but you have now decided means "all of you males", then I don't think I'm responsible for your offense taking. I think you're responsible for purposely redefining the clear meaning to score some kind of points.
I mean its likely both. What you describe is the majority held experience. But risk takers who are willing to cut corners exist at a lower prices and are the poster child for building failures, making it worse for the competent builders.
What a weird take.

Once this woman had been granted probate the courts have said that she is legally responsible for handling the estate. Apple said she needed a court order but they don't appear to recognise the authority of the court granting the probate document.
2020 will go down as the year the internet age truly began
I would not call it secrecy. It seems like the more local hardware access is secured the more data goes to the cload for ad-harvesting.

And I feel secrecy is most ofent forced upon the users. How many would have a password or even user name on their Windows or Mac machines unless forced?
I recently read about one of the cities, New Delhi introducing benefits to increase EV adoption.

The same report also mentioned an EV by some Indian manufacturer that seemed to have good specs on paper.

So I am assuming there should be EVs in future from more of them as is happening in most parts of the world now.

After reading TFA I'm actually concerned about the opposite: it seems that Apple will unlock the account for the widow as long as there is a court order, despite no clear indication of willingness from the deceased (other than the story told by the widow, which, despite being heartfelt, is still a story).

These days private communications and stuff are placed under the stewardship of third parties under a false sense of privacy, and often preserved for eternity. I have emails dating all the way back to when I was 18 backed up on Google's servers, for instance, and private notes dating back almost as far. I'm not completely comfortable with the idea of giving my next of kin unfettered access to those.

Is there a solution to preserve your privacy post-mortem, other than not using non-E2E encrypted services in the first place, or erasing all unencrypted copies of private materials before leaving this world?
That’s the thing. Without doping you can work as hard as you want and still not beat the guys who do it. Even as amateur I have seen how much people improved their physique and performance once they started using steroids or HGH and there simply is no way to compete with that.
What if Siri got a degree in Engineering and Business?
Thanks for following up with added info! I’ll look forward to seeing the project progress; It’s an area I’m super interested in. As far as naming systems better at privacy than DNS, I’m not aware of any serious options. Personally, I’m working on implementing something that hopes to improve the verifiability of naming resolutions, but thats a long ways off: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-watson-dinrg-delmap-02

No. I was one and I didn't. And I knew a lot of athletes. I know how most of them were thinking. What you said is simply not true.

> Incidentally, this is the same concern that archivists and historians have --- that our present era may be so concerned with secrecy that nothing remains of common life, and only "carefully curated" information survives.

That's a weird take, imo. They then must be absolutely thrilled when they find out about that thing called the internet. The carefully curated information with a billion likes is nothing more than a drop compared to the vast ocean of mundane nonsense that gets posted every day. Just because the carefully curated content gets the most attention doesn't mean that everything else is not out there. And never before has it been easier to find that stuff.

I did something like this once and it backfired. Well not the first time and certainly would not be the last... but instead of suppressing the version response of our DNS servers, I set it to a Monty Python quote. A customer lost their mind that someone would dare do such a thing and not give the exact version of bind we were running. I told our CSM they could just ask for the version and I would be happy to share. Nowadays that is not so taboo.
I can't understand your response at all.

The article shows that a flame-retardent increases risk of autoimmune condition with 94% confidence.

And you downplay it because... it's less than 95% confident? (by the way, the paper finds its main finding at p < .02)

To my mind, a major post-mortem is necessary, government funded. How many other flame-retardents cause health issues? How did they get past approval?

In the meantime, an immediate injunction against flame-retardent laws should be passed (numerous tobacco-lobbied laws REQUIRE retardents), and all used retardents should be listed on the labels of all products.

I expect the people in charge of public health to be as anal about their job as I am about mine.
I had a math exam a long while ago. One of those three hour long and the professor had me seated by myself in the math library. So I asked:
- There's tons of math books here. How can you know I won't cheat?
- Bjourne, do you intend to cheat?
- No, of course not.
- Alright. Good luck on your exam!
One thing I don’t understand is how does matter bend spacetime? Isn’t this video describing the force of gravity on spacetime instead of on things moving through spacetime?

I am almost 100% sure that Bolt is taking something. It was the same with Lance Armstrong. Pretty much all the guys he was beating got caught one after the other. It didn’t seem possible that there was one athlete who is so much better than everybody else without doping. It’s already hard enough to win with doping.
Doesn't the Arduino web IDE access the serial ports? I'm possibly missing something here but why not do it how they do it?
Same. I was looking for the ‘comedy’ but all it is is mostly teasing about how some computer guy says “no comment” to questions.

In addition, it appears the director of the DNI is saying this story is not part of a “Russia conspiracy” as a few Democrats are claiming.
Even if Ripcord is "safe" it is not safe to use. Discord will ban Ripcord, and Ripcord users, if it ever gets popular. They've already said that Ripcord is a violation of the terms of service. They've banned third party before and will again.

They make their money by selling their users and they can't do that if they allow other clients. So they have their policy of not allowing it and banning all third party. Of course they only act when it begins to effect their money. So for now ripcord is usable.
Works for me on Firefox (desktop, Linux). You've got to use the horizontal scroll though. If your mouse doesn't have a horizontal scroll wheel, try scrolling while holding down shift.
Many had the same thought after AlphaZero
i.e. some sort of expert-iteration for any (formal/combinatorial) domain what can be tree-searched

But it turns out, that interesting problems have existing refined algorithms that are difficult to beat

I agree that (DL + something) is the next step

Do you lean more towards symbolic search + neural heuristic or neural representation of symbolic domain ?
I have Dark Reader and it shows the CSS there too. Very cool.
Same here. There's probably space here for an off-topic thread on words we misread/mispronounced as kids and how long it went on. In my case it's about 45 years.
I'm sensing a trend in the replies here, which is that this was too low a pay out, perhaps we should have a discussion about what is a worthy payout, because we based this off of what we saw other companies paying out.

Our bug bounty page on H1 (invite only currently) lists critical vulnerabilities at $3,000 for a bounty, we decided to up the pay-out to $5,000 for the thorough report on the exploit - even though the vulnerability was not in our code, we paid extra (from our perspective...) because the vulnerability did after all ship in our software.

I compared this to similar payouts for RCE's, for example, slack paid out $1750 for a similar RCE earlier this year, due to lack of context isolation (https://hackerone.com/reports/783877) - although this did get published after we paid bounty - so it did not influence our decision.

Clearly there is some discussion to be had about what is fair. For context (which might be missing), this was not a 0-click drive-by RCE, and to exploit involved 4-clicks you had to be sent the embed, (1) click the "play" button to launch the iframe [we never load iframes with 0click], (2) click play within sketch-fab to load the 3d model, (3) click a small "1", and then (4) click a "+" in the tooltip that pops up in order to trigger the exploit. I'm curious if anyone has prior art or opinions on what would be a more appropriate bounty?
