> Antifa isn't an organization

Maybe not with centralized governance like Proud Boys, but PayPal definitely cut off payment processing for "Antifa Sacramento" and "Atlanta Antifascists" last year, I remember reading about it...
I've self-taught myself undergraduate-level Mathematics, and am currently enrolled in an advanced Masters program specialized in higher category theory at Université de Paris. Here are some thoughts:

First, the amount I learnt on a day-to-day basis from self-studying in my free time pales in comparison to the amount I learnt from a structured course ending with an exam, in which you have to commit to studying 2~4 hours of math every single day.

Second, classroom lectures mainly act as a structured table-of-contents for working through various textbooks. The problem sheets they distribute in the tutorials are very helpful, as is the discussion of problems that some students might have got stuck in.

Graduate-level math textbooks are fantastic, and the authors have poured 10+ years of their lives writing them. No online course with cute interactive video can substitute them. Having said that, there are some video lectures that can act as good motivation for studying a subject. For instance, Wildberger's lectures on algebraic topology (find them on YouTube) are a great starting point for the subject.

You first have to decide on what you want to learn, by looking through various fields, and narrow your scope. Mathematics is a huge discipline, and you have to decide what you like, and work through the prerequisites in a disciplined manner.

I cannot emphasize the importance of working through exercises enough. All mathematics textbooks have exercises at the end of each section, a subset of which you must work through.

Having said all this, you might find the following site interesting: it contains a lot of unpolished notes from studying various math textbooks, but it requires a lot more work to be useful to a larger audience. Look through it, and pick something you like. On request, I might find the time to add some material.

RNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna) require storage at -80C, because RNA is a molecule that can degrade easily at higher temperature.

Other vaccines can be stored at -20C, usually.
Talking as if this didn’t already happen in the McCarthy era. What good company to be in. Same tactics, different ideals. Just as wrong. Just as convinced you’re right.

Yes, I think many people commenting here have jumped to react to the headline with their own political views, not the article. Perhaps the title should reflect it's over money laundering, not content of Epik's clients.

Anyone who has read stories of or dealt with Paypal before knows they will cut off access if they even have an inkling of illegal activity happening. Their relationship with the banks and payment processors depends on it. So it's no surprise Epik advertising tax evasion using Paypal would get them terminated.

Epik doesn't really help their case with the response letter, it's written in a unhinged fashion without any substantiation of their claims of censorship by "Paypal executives".
Here is a summary of at least 6 articles on pre existing t-cell immunity. https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3563

Furthermore, I know of at least 3 leading statisticians that hypothesized (very early on) that the variance of infection trends pointed to pre-existing immunity in various populations. The evidence supporting this is mounting.
> Computers are good at parsing, and adding syntax to a language should be comparatively rare, so why would I choose a language that optimizes for this case, rather than one which optimizes for human readability?

Having everything be uniform has other advantages, but I think they end up being more subjective. Some people like the regularity, because they don't have to remember so many different kinds of syntax. Other people prefer different kinds of syntax, because they find it easier to read. I don't think there's an object measure here, because it all depends on your past experience and your preferences.
NASA Live: New Science Results from NASA’s Sofia
> it means a part of a system of power that benefits people considered "white" at the expense of others.

This definition doesn't even bother me on face. Obviously, systems can be designed to advantage one group and disadvantage another group. And, obviously, Jim Crow effects the distribution of family wealth to this day.

What bothers me about BigCorp diversity training is something a quite different. Choose a random public company. Its stocks are almost certainly disproportionately owned by white people. Many of the older companies even did business with apartheid states in the USA (and elsewhere) pre-1960. The ones that have been around for a century might've even done business with Nazis or were even run by anti-Semites (eg Ford). But even if not, just due to the fact that wealth is disproportionately owned by white people, so too are most stocks in large companies.

Racially skewed allocation of large company's stock due to a combination of historical discrimination lumping capital into white folk's pockets until ~60 years ago and the compounded nature of wealth is EXACTLY the sort of thing actual social theorists mean when they say "structural racism".

The problem with diversity training at BigCorps is not that they talk about structural racism per se. The problem is that they use the training as a way to distract from the actual structural inequalities in our financial system and instead put the onus of change on low-level employees who have almost no access to actual power and agency within the org (or larger society). I'm half convinced that this sort of diversity training is intentional miseducation.

When I listen to these training seminars, I can't help by hear them as the board/CEO saying "please don't pay attention to our mostly white and ivy-educated executive's stock-based compensation plan or our disproportionaltely white stockholder's dividends, which are actually excellent examples of structural racism in action; look over there instead".
Ha! You aren't wrong.
"Wine Is Not an Emulator"
I mean, that's just common sense, and something the media is actively choosing not to raise.
They could have afforded to pay you more, but they chose not to. You may or may not have been an outlier in the distribution of wages, but overall wages have not increased with productivity.
There is no singular definition of HFT. The extreme end of low latency is really only applicable for market making systems, but there are plenty of systems in the HFT sphere that do not rely on market making latencies. For example, those microwave links you're talking about? Those are specifically for cross exchange arbitrage. In that domain acceptable latencies go up quite a bit, and general purpose computing is still quite competitive.
This is as ridiculous as people who say "Why don't we all just get along?"

Some are skeptical of megacorporations controlling the economics of information, the potential wrongs of moral control, without necessarily defending detestable people, in the same way those who defend freedom of speech aren't defending Mein Kampf.
Thankfully for the other German manufacturers, BMW has released a line of grilles for 2020 that will forever distract us from whatever shenanigans are going on out back. MB had the award for Tackiest Grill nailed down forever with that light-up star thing - and along comes BMW to blow them out of the water.
I think you are missing the point: if there is "little-to-no purpose-built rental construction" I guarantee it's because of laws and regulations preventing companies from fulfilling demand. Think whether people or companies can purchase any land and build whatever they want on it. No they can, local governments must zone it as residential, and then they usually have strict restrictions on how many units can be built on each area, licenses, permissions, building codes...

You are right to complain about this issue, but don't blame free markets, because they are not free: government intervention prevent the necessary competition for the market to work and fulfill demand.
Over a geological timescale, the Earth will cease to exist once consumed by the Sun.
It doesn't matter what the circumstances are. Your very post here proves my point more than any further elaboration on my part ever could.

A mere 30 years ago, everything you just said here would have gotten _you_ banned from most clubs, small businesses, shopping centers, and religious organizations. Today, you get rewarded with a bunch of social media points for making statements like yours.
Google ‘MT5’ Achieves SOTA Performance on Multilingual Benchmarks
Daily new cases means nothing - it's a completely artificial figure that can be inflated or deflated by simply changing how many tests are conducted.

Deaths is the only relevant measure.
It's an entire industry devoted to wasting enormous energy, resources and intellectual capacity.

There are simply no material external gains from HFT etc, it's completely zero-sum other than maybe a 'job creation program'.

The site ridiculously talks about 'levelling the playing field' by extending HFT opportunities to other players, which is rich, considering the playing field could be 'levelled immediately' by some really basic regulation and a few smart queuing algorithms for placing orders.
Even China has huge problems with nuclear. When they took the French EPR design, they thought each would take less than 4 years to build. Ended up taking 9 years.

Western countries aim for a decade of construction, but will probably take 2x as long as the initial schedule.
I’m genuinely surprised..

Does this comment really read as flamebait? The article is about vaccines. A vaccine has to be administered to everyone to work. But I’m very skeptical that it’s actually going to happen given the way our medical system works here. So, I predict that there’s a good chance we won’t get herd immunity. I just don’t see how that’s flamebait. It’s more, known facts and extrapolation.
The US imprisons more people than China. The US enslaves its prison population. The US justice system tricks innocent people into pleading guilty using a clearly corrupt plea bargaining system. There is nothing just about American justice.
Colleges Slash Budgets in the Pandemic, with ‘Nothing Off-Limits’
Up until about 2 years ago, I used to use the same method as you've listed! Actually, I still use this method, but do it a bit differently. I have a ZeroTier network setup to connect a VM and RPI for internal communication, then I use nginx with the stream module [1] in order to do SNI proxying down to the RPI from the VM over the internal ZT network.

Why use the stream module vs the normal proxy module you might ask? You can forward TLS connections down to an edge device without needing to have the TLS certs on the cloud server. This is especially useful so I can easily share the VM with other people without having to worry about if they can intercept my network traffic, while still being able to host other things on the machine. This also has the added benefit of allowing me to forward full wildcard subdomains down to the edge device without having to create a new config entry for it each time.

Now, I use (shameless self plug) sish [2] to set this up. It uses SSH, so I get the added benefit of all of the above, but I don't really worry about using an internal network for ingress communication. It's also very easy to share the service with friends/coworkers so they can get the added benefit of it too. I also make use of the loadbalancing feature for test pi clusters when doing distributed testing which is a breeze now.

There are a bunch of these popping up now which I'm happy to see (serveo, remotemoe, even ngrok has a SSH gateway!) so there's a ton of competition here. I definitely recommend checking at least one of them out since they're pretty easy to setup and can be used in a variety of ways!

Speech is not terrorism, nor physical violence. It is hyperbole to argue otherwise. Yes, many forms of speech are distasteful, or downright grotesque (hate speech, for example), but it is absolutely not the same as an act of terrorism.

[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.” -- Justice Samuel Alito [1] [2]

I'm in the trial. It's really exciting, not least because form a purely selfish point of view, I might be immune already! ...or not. But it's exciting either way!

A decade ago Facebook and Twitter were small in a nascent industry.
What would I miss if went all transfomers without spaCy? I don't get the idea of a wrapper API through spaCy.

I'd like to be as close as possible to the core transformers API without any intermediate layers. Nothing against spaCy but also when looking at huggingface's side and all the pre-trained models... it feels that nobody talks about/uses spaCy if they use transformers already.
> If some of y'all put the time you spent into defending white supremacists and hate platforms

And how do you define this? Have you ever once considered you could be wrong and they could be right?

The freedom of speech is the freedom to disagree. It's the freedom to talk about things we know are unorthodox and offensive, and not fear prosecution from our government (In the context of US/constitution speech).

At one time, saying homosexuality can be a normal and healthy behavior was considered hateful, evil and dangerous. People lost their publications, their friends and sometimes their lives for that idea.

At one time saying black people should be able to have all the same rights as white people; drink from the same fountains, have the same bus seats, and use the same bathrooms, was considered wrong, insane, and a dangerous idea.

The freedom to say things has never been easy. In some countries, we try to protect it. It was one thing when it was the printing press or books, but now we're talking about massive distribution platforms, with insane reach, and very very few companies who have risen to positions where they can be gatekeepers.

You can say it's fine when they go after someone you don't like, but what about when they cut funding for your Mastodon server or phpBB board because of a few posts you've put up they don't like?

That's not quite true. In 2018 Amazon paid an effective tax rate of -1% ... they claimed a $129m rebate on profits of $11.2bn.

There is a strong argument that a lot of currently private companies ought to be reclassified as public utilities. Like ISPs, for example.
I don't think it's pushing a narrative. I think it's just sloppy thinking/describing.

A nuclear detonation presents multiple risks/dangers, on multiple time scales. One of the longer term dangers is the dispersion of radioactive material over a large area, resulting in that area becoming uninhabitable. That is what the author is describing. They're not trying to scare you into thinking the material is going to explode

Yes, they are vastly different on a legal level. Still, I think the parent comment's analogy is very valid.

AFAIK I don't know any instances of, say, car companies refusing to sell a car to the KKK or some other neo-Nazi group, and I think a lot of people would be very uneasy if all your purchases, even from private companies, were vetted based on your political ideology. To clarify, I don't think that's what's happening in this instance (as others have noted this looks like a set of pretty standard KYC questions), but I think it's very fair to ask why we think certain company behaviors that would be pretty unacceptable in the physical world should be acceptable in the online world.

what are some good alternatives to amazon? this year I've started minimizing my use of google and amazon services. I built a PC with parts from microcenter where possible, and bought hard drives from best buy when they were price matching on prime day. I've also started buying books through a local bookstore, which has been my favorite change as I know the money goes to my community rather than 'huge but not as huge as amazon' business like best buy.
The leader isn't even white, nor are most of their members. He was on a youtube podcast recently, with Tim Pool I think, something definitely doesn't make sense between what the media is constantly parroting about them and what they actually are.
Again, when reviewing real things, it adds quite a bit.

I do this regularly and have a / b tested a ton of times.

The fall back is shared photos. Good, but not great.

In the readme it is stated, My ISP blocks incomming traffic. That is the reason I asked.

Yes there are privacy reasons but that is not mentioned.

Hello, I created rocketcrab! Who posted this?? :D thanks i guess? AMA if you want!
You mean "fish hook theory", the idea that centrism is somehow inherently ideologically aligned with the far right?

AFAIK that's simply a fantasy promoted in certain corners of the internet (like the ironically-named r/EnlightenedCentrism). It's not supported by any actual quantitative evidence at all, nor am I aware of any credence given to it in academia. It's essentially made-up. There is no political scientist I'm aware of who takes it seriously.

To my knowledge, it's nothing more than a talking point invented by progressives to try to convince other progressives not to be pulled to the center.
Basically all robust HFT shops are using Java, python is great for prototyping but in the end too slow.
> That's not true at all. Canada has both strong anti-hate-speech laws and a far lesser (though still existant) problem with racism and racial justice overall than the US. Freedom of speech always has limits.

Canada also has far less "visible minorities" than USA.

Notes for the “Clean Architecture” Book
nVidia is the overwhelming leader in GPUs that people care about, so if you don't mind excluding the majority then it sounds like a great direction.

Hope it works out for you.
Thank you very much for sharing this.

>Until now, this vaccine has only been tested on laboratory mice and other animal species and this is
the first time that the vaccine will be given to humans.

Is it possible to know which species those are?
I studied biology/pharmacology in undergrad but now work as a SWE. I can try to help with your decision. A colleague of mine studied Mechanical Engineering in college but is currently finishing a master’s in SWE to get into the field. Have you considered doing a bootcamp?
Sure but it would reduce the number of deaths by a lot.

If we just vaccinated 65+ year olds, we'd cut deaths by 80X%, where X is the effectivelness of the vaccine. Even if the vaccine was only 80% effective, that's still 65% reduction.

Add in people with dangerous conditions, heart conditions, cancer, morbidly obese, etc., and you could probably knock it down further.

And as the percent of the population with immunity rises, the spread will slow quite a bit.

We don't need heard immunity to open back up.
I once reduced the speed of our test suite from 10 mins to < 5 minutes by changing 2 characters in 1 line...

Then bcrypt work factor! It was originally 12, reduced it to 1 (don’t worry, production is still 12)
I was basing the comment in some other vaccines - Sorry I did not state it. I hope I'm wrong and it's much shorter time :)

Can you also share some of those sources you mention? Thanks!
Ah, a much better reading than mine!
Consumer Reports these days looks like nothing but a marketing catalog with unclear monetization plan. We regularly get some sort of a "teaser flyer" addressed to a previous resident, and it's filled with clickbait titles and short scandalous blurbs telling the reader to pay for the full article. It looks like a cross between a tabloid and a product catalog. They might still do some valuable testing, but they've definitely been taken over by marketing MBAs, and are "optimizing their content".
Agreed! That Hispanic couple who immigrated to the US, built a small business and want to pass it to their kids, screw them! Tax it all away. Let their kids start over!
> "I'm white, and I recognize that society treats me a little bit better cause of that".

That's a complete crock. East Asians top the charts in income by ethnicity, college admissions, and have the lowest rates of criminality. For a supposed system created to benefit white people it sure is doing an awful job of it.
Cheaper and generally more mature ecosystem. I've found more things have been "solved"
Also, Esp8266 has the wonderful Sming framework while ESP32 does not (or it's WIP)

https://github.com/SmingHub/Sming/

It's basically Arduino but instead of having the central infinite loop it's all callback based. So it feels more “proper” I guess. It's a bit closer to how you're supposed to program a mircocontrollers without Arduino. And it makes going back to Arduino feel clunky

That said.. Maybe there is some equivalent for ESP32? I'm just not aware of it. You can do some other cool stuff with ESP32s. Like run Micropython and Javascript. You can also have wifi and related interrupts on one core and realtime stuff on another core (though I haven't exactly figured out how you'd set this up without using an RTOS)
