PGP’s web of trust hasn’t been a mainstream success because (and I say this as a dedicated GPG user) the UX is awful. I don’t think it has anything to do with the web of trust though; in fact GPG doesn’t really expose the web of trust ideas much to the user.

I can easily imagine a web of trust system with UX more similar to Facebook’s (and in fact this is basically what SSB’s clients are).
Streisand effect?
If that was true it would be hard to argue that photocameras on smartphones aren't meant to shoot porn or dick pics by the fact that, well, we know why.

youtube-dl works on many other web sites, not only YouTube, and downloading YouTube videos, even if copyrighted, is not a crime per se in many parts of the World
But you couldn’t get a test in March unless you were in hospital. The two figures aren’t comparable.
Not GP, but this seems like being upset by the environmental damage resulting from your city fire department driving diesel firetrucks in relative and absolute scale and scope.
Only if they say that every day, and it rains every day. If the most likely outcome happened every time, then the model is likely wrong/under-confident. The prediction is never going to be 100% accurate until the event is happening/has happened. Up until then, there's always a chance you're wrong or something can change. Being wrong once isn't necessarily a sign that the whole system is messed up.
IIUC workers (or at least worker larvae) can become queens under the right conditions, so it's more likely for the undesirable genes to be removed if the entire hive is euthanized.

Also, in the case of that video, IIRC having the still aggressive workers in the locations available to that beekeeper wouldn't be desirable, even if later generations were calmer.
I just hate clomping around in the boots. But I manage.

Now, do you have super-secret Scandinavian folk knowledge of good dog boots? Because I have tried, and he hates the damn things. And the rock salt irritates his feet quite a bit.
Nice ignore the part where they realized Mir was useless. They even went on an edit spree in their wiki page.

If Mir was so good and superior they would just keep developing it. Isn't that obvious? If the company who already spent all this dev time aka money on Mir doesn't believe in it, why would anybody else? They were even eating their own dog food and had some major industry pull at their disposal. The answer is they fucked it up.
I am criticizing their labeling of Trump's win as low probability.
Come on dude. You are not a lawyer and your assessment of the situation clearly goes against federal law. You can personally feel bad about this but if the government tells you to comply with this and your vendors tell you to comply with this (so they can comply with federal law) then there's absolutely zero things you can do.
Westnordost has been actively working on this the last few days, and talking about it in the OSMUS Slack. The query times are down to a fraction of what they've been, so assuming it all scales well, I'd expect the changes to be in a new version of StreetComplete very soon.
Perfectly valid questions that need to be part of the calculation and why I'm interested in this topic.

I don't think my wife experienced anything that would reach the bar of malpractice, but mistakes and poor operational practices definitely impacted her care. Because the hospitals retain this data I was collect all of the medical records from her experience and am currently seeking a subject matter expert to review them (very difficult to find it turns out). If I had requested that this data be purged without having a complete copy then obviously the information is not going to contribute to any follow-up investigation.

There are very real and concerning issues with ongoing custody of this type of data by any organization, let alone any of the access that is provided to it through relationships that we as consumers are unaware of. But I don't think the answer is wholesale elimination of custody, there's a lot of pros and cons that everyone should be in a position to understand and decide for themselves.
This wasn't a takedown request as it didn't include a link to it so github isn't required to take it down. They can legally put it back now. The fact that they did speaks to how they will respond in the future.
What do you think the citizenry of Crimea did wrong?
Hate to say about it but I'm ethically Chinese and I just happened to know some little thing about it...I know it's a great gambit so I hope I don't have to use the race card at the very least...

Go makes arbitrarily large codebases feasible. I find Python to be exponentially more painful as codebase size increases. For personal projects this is fine, but for industrial use cases Go has a significant competitive advantage.
I knew Google paid Apple for preferential treatment on search, but enough to account 14-21% of Apple’s profit? Wow.
We're talking about culture, agility, and mindset, not war chest per se. That is, lean and aggressive vs slothy enterprise.
You make some thought provoking points, but there are a lot of "ifs" there. So, even a chance that some savings might be achieved by cooking staple foods at home once in a while seems worth considering.

Most people end up leaving a lot on the table when eating out, and 100% of that food ends up in the trash / wasted.
> I'm also deeply skeptical of the notion that polling is even remotely correlated to actual results.

But it has been strongly correlated to the results in basically all elections so far in all democracies on the planet. Taking 2016 as an example there has been a very strong correlation between polling and the results. The national polling averages were only 3 points off from the actual result. If that's not correlated I don't know what is.
Java is actually better(faster runtime and less energy usage) than Go but where Go beats Java is memory usage. C beats all of course.

I am all ears for how we could solve homelessness in LA by defunding the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s entomology program.

Maybe you’re right, though - the progressive militarization of state pest control departments during the global war on terror is probably one of the principal ways in which inequality is perpetuated in this country.
They want to dump a tiny, tiny fraction of the radioactive material released from Fukushima. The water that they cooled the busted cores with picked up all sorts of crap, and they filtered out most of it. Tritium is really hard to remove though, so the cost/benefit ratio there is way higher than would justify removing it.
Wayland is a protocol, like X. X.org is an implementation, like a compositor.

Screenshots require a privileged application to have access to the whole screen. The X protocol doesn’t provide that, though some implementation might.
Where does this come from? Your parent was asked if he thought one should walk an extra 60 minutes to get groceries, he replied yes and gave a lot of reasons why. Completely respectful and polite.
You... You do realize they're trying to rid these wasps because they're an existential threat to our bee population, right? You realize that losing our bees would cost farmers billions of collective dollars and raise the price of food for everyone, right?
Do you realize you can kill someone with this comment, that beekeeper suit is optional?
You can use a library like that or you can draw your own decorations. There unfortunately is no other option. I don't see it as being likely that GNOME will support SSD any time soon, it just isn't designed for that.
> So not changing a spec for over a decade should not be considered pathological but actually commendable, if the nature of spec is complete enough for it's purpose.

The "nature of the spec is complete enough for its purpose" is the part that's not met, though (at least in many people's minds). The Markdown "spec" (either the description written by Gruber or the `Markdown.pl` file) has ambiguities and inconsistent behavior. My understanding is that there were many requests from the community for this to be clarified, but it never was. So I think a decade of inattention is not commendable in this instance. The CommonMark landing page[0] has some more about this issue.

The shy Tory factor[0] is likely to be even stronger this year than in 2016 when it comes to polls. After 4+ years of being harangued and called every name in the book by the vast majority of national culture (movies, music, TV, news, social media, news-entertainment), along with increasingly hostile projects such as https://donaldtrump.watch/ I imagine less of his more subdued supporters are going to be honest with pollsters.

WMs are not compositors. Compositors are more like a WM combined with X.org.
I use go (long term) in places where I need as part of my DR plan the ability to fix stuff without expert access. The toolchain is simple enough that I can maintain it in this scenario alone, and meanwhile the stdlib is complete enough as to be useful for solving a multitude of problems, while offering the ability to produce programs that run on many systems and integrate with them with sufficient efficiency. It's a really usable systems glue language, and it powers chunks of my telco infrastructure. This pro is mostly about the implementation/engineering design.

My biggest gripe with the language is that it doesn't scale that well for teams. It requires a certain culture & approach to produce maintainable programs that goes against the grain for many developers, and while I enjoy the simplicity it offers, that simplicity leads to cost of ownership problems in many team scenarios. This con is mostly about the language.

As a specific tactical item, the runtime multiplexer could do with a refactor. The merging of the pollers essentially could continue until it is much cleaner, there are more layers there than necessary to solve the problem. You can follow the FD close path to understand the strains of the current factoring. Such a cleanup could probably remove some overhead for io heavy workloads too, maybe even drop some lock contention. Oh, and the spins should all be removed from the runtime before we really start using it on very high core count systems. This opportunity is mostly a side effect of a long history of incremental improvement.
TFA is a good starter as to what is wrong with SMS. It's an authentication antifactor.
Murder hornets are a real threat to honey bee hives. A handful of hornets can take out a hive of thousands.

What's interesting is the way that honey bees defend against them. A bunch of bees surround each hornet, then they intensify the flapping of their wings, which then generates enough heat to kill the hornet. In other words, the hornets are cooked alive.
They set out to make a pretty generic ALGOL/C-ish/Java "OO"ish language with sharp corners filed off and some decent concurrency primitives put in. They executed successfully (they got the language out there, built an ecosystem, didn't undermine their own goal in the language design or make it unusable.)

If I had to choose between Go and C++, I'd probably pick Go because of C++'s complexity, so they really nailed it.

In the grand scheme of things, it's a really forgettable language. Frankly, I haven't programmed in it. I don't need to. I know ALGOL+(N+1) when I see it.
The negative correlation between NJ and AK is curious. What I'd like to see here (and in all of these forecast sites) is some confidence analysis. If you pick Trump in NJ, looking at the plots, you've selected a tiny fraction of the data to examine. Who cares if the predicted value is wonky; show me the confidence interval!

Treating this as a tea-leaf reading (that is, deliberately searching for meaning via free association, without investing it with a truth value) I'm reminded of the "own the libs" meme. I see folks on foxnews.com comments bragging about it; I see lefties complaining about it, but I suspect that it's overblown and not actually a driver behind people's decision-making. But that's what comes up for me when I see "NJ goes Trump" forcing "AK goes Biden".

I'm amused by the resulting thought experiment... if dems started airing "socialists for Trump" campaigns in otherwise safe GOP states, would it move the needle there? Even sillier: if you aired those ads in NJ, would it move the needle in AK?
No, but I've heard really good things about it, and even tried out the demo when it initially came out a few years ago. I was hesitant to change my Vim workflow though.

Thanks for mentioning it, I think I'll take another look at it now. Having a real IDE probably has more benefits once the code grows beyond tens of thousands of LOC.
nope, you're wrong.

A little more info on 1984. In Great Britain and most jurisdictions in the world, public domain kicks in 70 years after the death of the author. Orwell died in 1950, so all his corpus entered public domain at the beginning of this year. (In Australia, where these ebooks are hosted, the public domain for this period starts 50 years after the author’s death.)

In the US, the public domain system is different: works enter the public domain 95 years after the initial date of publication of that work. 1984 was published in 1949, so will arrive in the US public domain in 2044. For the next 24 years it’s illegal in the US to download a copy of the book that’s free by virtue of being in the public domain in a different jurisdiction.

This is a bit of an extreme example, as Orwell died just one year after 1984’s publication. In other situations it can work in reverse. For example, Thomas Mann died in 1955, so his works will typically enter the public domain in 2025. However, Der Zauberberg was published in 1924 so is now in the public domain under US law. This (among works by other authors) lead to Gutenberg being blocked in Germany as they weren’t willing to build a geoblocking system.

At the end of the day, if you want to stay legal (big assumption), it’s your responsibility to check PD in the jurisdiction you’re in. Going just by what websites claim is in the PD is not the best idea.
Python and Go is a dream stack. Prototype services in Python and when performance is needed, do Go implementation.
It seems like you are conflating probabilities with absolute certainties. If I had a 1:10 probability of winning the lottery, I would probably take it. If I had a 1:20 probability of getting injured if I leave my house today, I’d stay home. If I did get out but didn’t get injured doesn’t mean the model was wrong.
Yep. I see this everywhere, both online and in person.
I know bees are fundamental but I think we should adjust ourselves along with nature, and not try to always dictate things. We can live without honey, eat fruits instead (for which wasps and hornets participate also in pollination), they even provide better nutrients
This claim of first is not true at all. The Ruby community did all this at least a decade before Go existed, and I imagine there are other examples.
Note that the purpose of my earlier comment was not to compare wealth to IQ, it was simply to provide an example of a phenomena that both correlates and predicts but is not of interest to explaining human psychology.

That said, if wealth and IQ correlates—which I’m not sure it does—you cannot say which causes which, or even if either causes the other. It is just as plausible that wealthy folks have better training taking tests which will lead to higher test scores in general, including IQ scores.
Children can be trained for IQ tests. Your original claim seems to be much stronger than that. It was my impression that you were asserting that children are trained for IQ tests accidentally, merely by living in an enriched home and school environment.

There is no evidence for that and twin and adoption studies show evidence to the contrary: that adopted children and especially twins raised separately over/underperform their adoptive families and perform similarly to their biological relatives.

The only thing we know that can overwhelm innate ability is crushing poverty and the malnutrition and other extreme stresses that come with it. Otherwise, the effect of home environment on IQ is minimal.

It’s different, of course, with language acquisition. Kids learn more vocabulary the more you speak to them and read to them. Kids with wealthy upbringings can have much more opportunity to acquire language than otherwise. The extent to which that helps with abstract pattern recognition, mental rotation, etc is limited. And we have plenty of examples of kids with logical and spatial reasoning that far exceeds their language skills. It’s such a common phenomenon that we have a name for these kids: nerd.
Funny thing, can't submit this to r/politics, as they seem to have a tightly curated whitelist of allowed domains that must "Be notable, as defined by our domain notability guidelines. Notable domains will consist of news organizations, research organizations, political advocacy groups, governmental agencies / bodies, and political parties."

And apparently columbia.edu does not fulfill those criteria.
My natural way is very similar to that, going forward all the time.

Since I've been struggling for years to go from "running in my style for 15min" to 30min, I've instead switched to the goal of "running for 30min in any style", then working my own style back into that :).
Folding(at)Work
After 9 years of ruby, I finally switched to Go as my professional language 3 years ago, after a couple years of side projects with it.

My feelings after building for that long : safety and productivity.

I initially thought it was because of moving to compiler and type checking, but then I learned C for my personal use (an other thing passing through Go allowed for me), and was surprised to realize my C compiler was not allowing me close to the same peace of mind than my Go one. Go is just a well-designed language that makes everything straightforward.

The main reason I started learning and building with C is that I'm not confident the code I write in Go will age well. The discussions around Go-2 make me extremely nervous (it has something that reminds me of angular-2, python-3, symfony-2, bootstrap-3, and others major redesigns who left developers in a lot of troubles, I hope time will prove me incorrect).

So basically, I'm enjoying it, but I worry if it will last. I guess that means I really love it.
What limitations do you run into with the flask/python setup? (I’m not asking what ARE the limitations, I’m asking which ones specifically you run into)

Alex from SE here. Thanks for the mention!

From a quick glance I'm guessing that Planet eBook is just repackaging Project Gutenberg or PG Australia/Canada titles, or possibly even Internet Archive OCRs. A commenter below mentioned that italics in a book are in all caps, which is a common transcription affordance in PG texts. It seems they aren't proofread either, since on page 1 of Huck Finn there's a glaring OCR error that doesn't occur in the PG edition ("narra- tive"). And it looks like the PDFs have a Planet eBook watermark on every other page.

One of the goals of Standard Ebooks is to create ebooks that are commercial-level in quality, which after a glance I would say these are not. Our volunteers spend many hours making sure each ebook we release is a high-quality specimen in every way. And you don't get a watermark either.

We're always looking for contributors to make new ebooks. It's a satisfying effort because it takes a lot of different skills: HTML/CSS, command line/UNIX philosopy fluency, attention to detail, an eye for spotting typos, an interest in literature and fine art (for our covers), and more. If you'd like to work on an ebook to release to the world for free, send us a note!
Did you try asking the moderators to add it to the whitelist?
> Polls have more impact if they are more representative of statewide turnout among demographic things he chose like “black” and “low income.” This is why his predictions were so accurate for Obama’s 2008 and 2012 elections

I find this argument strange, because black turnout was unusually high in 2008. That should have a negative impact on the accuracy of statistical adjustments, not a positive one.
So many comments, not a single mention of Rust...kinda sad.
Omission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omission_(law)) creates the exact same liabilities. It's not about fishing for accounts.
Just because you're not being prosecuted, doesn't meant that you don't need to comply with law. For a large company like GitLab is a fiduciary responsibility to do this whether or not they have the federal government telling them to do it at the current time.
When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Random Numbers
The Wayland base can be implemented in a library, like wlroots, which complete compositors could use.

Currently compositor developers prefer separate implementations and it's really their choice.

Neuropilin-1 facilitates SARS-CoV-2 cell entry and infectivity
I really like it. It makes it really easy to have easy to develop monoliths--Go will scale (vertically and horizontally) and can easily handle doing everything. There are some annoyingly verbose and not DRY parts, like adding instrumentation or context, but it leads to less weird side effects.

The tooling is also very good, though I wish more of golangci lint would move into stdlib so I could just run golint.
Weaponising open source is a new low, even for this particularly clueless US regime. But this is really only meaningful in the short-term. In the mid-term (2030ish), the tech game is very likely to have drastically changed: Other countries will have taken the technological lead (china & co), while the US is still engaged in endless internal conflicts (in effect a mafia-state, akin to what happend in Russia after 1990). All the global talent that once powered the US tech innovation motor (droves of Chinese, Indian, Russian and European PhD students etc.) will have disappeared. At that point, we might see headlines along the lines of "Globally leading open source platform Gitea Blocked US Access". Personally, i would prefer to see yet another scenario, where the entire global Intellectual property market collapsed and was replace by "open source everything" - but that might be a more long term vision.
Some people can't think in anything more than black and white it seems :/
I find it depressing that you seem to be okay with the suppression of truth which contradicts the reigning ideology.
The author has moved to a flat file small script approach for bookmarks. Each file has a url.

People must have different reasons for bookmarks. Ideally I’d have all my bookmarks have full text search (including being able to log in to paywalls bookmarks or another work around).

Tags and descriptions are pretty important for me as well.

A url [plus title] of a bookmark isn’t enough for me. I might as well not use it.

That’s one frustrating thing with Pocket for me. It’s hard to paste tags or add tags at all to new Pocket url adds.
