One of the things to keep in mind is that any one study is part of a larger picture and part of why I recommend people do their own searches so they can see what kind of studies are out there (or to start with reviews). For any individual study you have to at the minimum pay attention to sample size/population, what kind of study it was, and often looking at the methods/study design as well. There will often be caveats or additional wrinkles. For example:

Shiroma, Eric J., Howard D. Sesso, M. V. Moorthy, Julie E. Buring, and I‐Min Lee. “Do Moderate‐Intensity and Vigorous‐Intensity Physical Activities Reduce Mortality Rates to the Same Extent?” Journal of the American Heart Association 3, no. 5 (September 16, 2014). https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.114.000802.

"Among men, but not women, additional modest reductions in all-cause mortality rates are associated with a greater proportion of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity performed at a vigorous intensity."

Fisher, Gordon, Andrew W. Brown, Michelle M. Bohan Brown, Amy Alcorn, Corey Noles, Leah Winwood, Holly Resuehr, Brandon George, Madeline M. Jeansonne, and David B. Allison. “High Intensity Interval- vs Moderate Intensity- Training for Improving Cardiometabolic Health in Overweight or Obese Males: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” PLoS ONE 10, no. 10 (October 21, 2015). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0138853.

"While both exercise groups led to similar improvements for most cardiometabolic risk factors assessed, MIT led to a greater improvement in overall cardiovascular fitness."

I'd also say that while it's tempting to just skim through the abstract and the conclusion, oftentimes, the Discussion is where the real meat is, and in cases of controversy, careful attention needs to be paid to the authors, the raw data (sadly, especially in the nutrition space, there is often discordance between the observations published, statistical massaging, and the conclusions drawn...) and followup commentary.

For the HIIT study you referenced, I did find this commentary, which was pretty interesting (it's worth noting that I don't consider this topic area to be particularly controversial/heated - differences seem modest, and honestly, the biggest thing seems to actually be getting any physical activity, vs none for most people...):

Coswig, Victor S., Paulo Gentil, João P. A. Naves, Ricardo B. Viana, Charles Bartel, and Fabrício B. Del Vecchio. “Commentary: The Effects of High Intensity Interval Training vs Steady State Training on Aerobic and Anaerobic Capacity.” Frontiers in Physiology 7 (October 25, 2016). https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2016.00495.

Nobody is forcing you to use Wayland. Or are they? On Fedora it's a single line change em /etc to disable it (which I do because of Nvidia).

Hello, but why are backups not a thing? It's like the majority of these companies don't even bother with them.
Clearly this information should never have been allowed to be stored digitally. Those to blame are those which neglected to put the necessary precautions in place. Where I come from, if you forget to lock your car, police can collect the key and fine you for your ignorance. Same should apply when health data gets lost. The patients have virtually no control over what happens with their data after someone entered it into a system. So all the mishap which happen need to be blamed on those which run these systems. Not doing so is a pretty blatant attempt of ignoring responsibilities.

Thanks. Sounds like it'd be workable as a backup target then, but would probably suck being the primary place to grab source code.

That being said, maybe it would be ok as a primary location if there are more localised caches (eg lower response times) commonly available.
I agree it's not racism on GitLab's part, but the U.S. officials behind these sanctions themselves do use phrases like that they want to 'choke Iran's economy', that is in the middle of a pandemic where people's respiratory systems are at risk, it certainly doesn't look good on their part.

Also worth noting that GitLab has previously banned hiring from China/Russia, so it's no stranger to blanket bans of questionable nature.

How did the two companies do? I never understood how someone could hold two c level jobs at the same time. How do you handle all the work?
> No, no, no. It’s got to be one company at a time, one job at a time. Right? Only investors can do that. [that= have a multi-career path]

Investors have a single career path: being investors. And you have a diverse portfolio you invest in: company A in AI/ML, company B in B2C, company C in biotech, ...

Similarly, as a C-level, you have a single career path: being C-level at [company]. And you have a diverse portfolio of project you invest in: geo-expansion, new line of products, internal reorganisation, raising money, ...

As an investor, to job is to find projects and teams to invest in, then let them do their stuff. By definition, the amount of time you will spend working inside projects you have invested on should be pretty limited.

As an executive, your job is to execute. And that takes a tremendous amount of time and energy. If you believe you are going to be able to execute well on multiple companies at the same time, dividing your focus and energy, all companies will suffer. AT some point, each company is going to need someone with 100% focus on that company. And person should be the one in charge.

IMO we are using the language of someone who we know to act maliciously on a massive scale (tens of thousands of people, including minors)as if their words can mean anything without corroboration. Frankly I wouldn't believe a rapist saying "but look at what they were wearing" or a serial killer for saying "but they went home alone".

Similarly, I don't hold any credence to a black hat saying "but look at how insecure they were".
While this works for some datasets with known statistical properties, it seems unlikely to become a universal option. Differential Privacy relies on the intuition that something is only private of it happens once in a dataset. Multiple times? Must be something humans have in common.

The issue is that you need massive datasets for everything non-personal to start repeating. And one of the parallel constraints of protecting privacy is not centralising massive datasets.

Encrypted computation needed.
GitLab (the company) are legally not permitted to export their product: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-group/code-of-condu...

According to them, that includes downloads.

So no luck there either.
You’re not wrong, so far as I can tell. Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Iran has some serious issues, but they don’t appear to be worse than the Saudis or any number of other countries we (the US) consider allies.
There is a massive audience from that, when you consider the popularity of websites including Gutenberg, openculture, and others. Although the user experience from a platform like Kindle Unlimited is hard to beat, some people don't read that much and may not want a recurring subscription, while others don't like Amazon in general. Once figuring out how to buy/download and load up an ebook on a mobile device (depending on their experience) maybe they'd do it again. Or just decide a platform provider like Kindle or other publishers is way more worth it.
Of course they could have done that, if gitlab had at least given a prior warning...

Some of the screenshot show them even trying to get a temporary account with support just to get what they've been locked out of to make a backup.

For sociology, you can use graph to model friendship relation, for example.
With dpipe you can create ready to use datasets from paths or list of files.

You should specify the type and the location of the input and target. The labels are assumed to be the name of the folder containing the file (if you need to train a classification model).

Is it so? Are you conveniently forgetting the privacy violations, data sharing with third parties and manipulation of public sentiment that FB was the agent for, not long ago?
That would be ideal, however, you could just re-use the existing `pip` infrastructure.

e.g. pip install wvdl-plugin-youtube
Not a problem for Git or even PR workflow then.
Of course. It's patently obvious that the current education systems pander to interest groups that are not necessarily in the best interests of the recipients of said education.

Educational policy is not exclusively for the benefit of the recipient either intentionally when pandering to teacher unions or unintentionally when said policies set targets that drive the system in the wrong direction per Goodhart's law.
> Wayland is really slow.

I think you don't mean that the Wayland protocol forces slowness but that the compositor you used was slow. The one I use is fast.

> And if you don't like the window decorations (say, they take up too much screen space) your choices are suck it up, or if you're lucky and willing to spend a bunch of time reconfigure every different toolkit your apps use.

No, there are protocols to negotiate whether an app has server side decoration or not and the compositor has the last say.

> basic stuff that worked fine on X11 doesn't work on wayland in the name of "security"

On only the core Wayland protocols you're absolutely correct, you can't even implement desktop shells with those. This means there must be extensions and there are 3 different classes: KDE, GNOME, wlroots, with tools for and incompatibility between each. The wlroots extensions are designed to be accepted into the standard and for wider Wayland acceptance they probably should be.

Screen sharing is still a particular issue that we are starting to see solved with the advent of Pipewire.

Wayland desktops are definitely usable. I've been happy with a wlroots based one (Wayfire) for a few months and KDE before that (from what I see GNOME has been perfect for a while).

One of the last standing real issues I'm facing is kerfuffle with Nvidia drivers, especially the ones paired with Intel GPUs, but I think (surprisingly) Nvidia are actually working on fixing that.
Yeah - I have no clue why you're being downvoted. I have the exact same professional experience where Wayland is slow out-of-box vs X. I also share the experience of getting X to work on ancient hardware without much difficulty.

Let's be real here - if you're needing something to "just work" you're going to install X. Sorry Wayland, you're just not there yet.

> The reason why Sweden's strategy consists of letting covid19 spread like wildfire

This is so far from the truth that it's not even funny anymore. You are obviously not Swedish, and you obviously have no idea what the situation is actually like in Sweden.

If you think you're getting an accurate view of Sweden's strategy, response, and outcome through non-Swedish media, you are completely mistaken. The amount of misinformation in foreign media has been absolutely off the charts this year.

Here is the official Swedish strategy, read it yourself and stop spreading crap:

https://www.government.se/articles/2020/04/strategy-in-respo...

"Point 1: Limit the spread of infection in the country

By limiting the spread of the virus, the Government aims to relieve pressure on the health care system and protect people’s lives, health and jobs."

That's pretty much the opposite of "letting it spread like wildfire".

> Sweden's population density is a fraction of Italy's and Spain's

The national average population density tells you absolutely nothing in this case, and the number is that low because Sweden has a whole lot of land where noone lives. You bringing this up in a corona discussion only shows even more that you know absolutely nothing about Sweden and obviously never been there.

For reference, Sweden is 87% urbanized, while Spain is only 81%, and Italy even less at 71%.

To me that means the odds of me existing are so small that out of personal curiosity I want to appreciate it.

> It's a fluke and nothing you do during your time here matters at all because you yourself don't matter at all.

Yep - nothing I do one way or the other will meaningfully affect the universe or it's future, only the people/society around me that I care about.

Odds are 100 years from now I'll be utterly forgotten.

> so why pretend that doing good and spending your time wisely is important?

Treat others as you would treat yourself, I treat people well in the hope/expectation they'll do the same, I care about the environment because I don't want my step-son or other kids his age to grow up in a world worse than I did.
One of the things Iran's unambiguously guilty of is these same kinds of access restrictions. If you've ever wondered why Google's sanctions-related controversy was focused on Google Cloud, it's because that was the biggest Google service allowed at the time - search, Gmail, and Youtube had already been banned by the Iranian government.

So while I share the skepticism expressed upthread that blocking websites is effective diplomacy, it's hard for me to look at the situation and see a one-sided problem.
That's really cool!

If you want to further add vertical resolution, Unicode 13 introduces 2x3 mosaics (from the TRS-80, Teletext and others) that are supported directly within VTE (so people don't need to install a font). Slightly more complicated are the "smoothed" mosaics (from Minitel 2, IIRC) but they offer diagonal lines (and complement PETSCII and ATASCII symbols also introduced in version 13).

I expect 2x4's to be available for version 14, but it'll be a while.

2x3's (and 2x4's) are kind of funny, because you still won't be able to use more than 2 colors per cell, so it works for cells with two colors but that can be subdivided in thirds (or quarters). Finding a best fit for a cell and a mosaic is not a trivial job.

These threats are exaggerated and are not in my opinion why the industry likes locked down things so much. I think the real reason is DRM and control over the platform; malware gets used as the stick in this argument, and is mostly a red herring.

There used to be a time tech-minded people widely considered this kind of control evil. I wonder when the cultural switch happened that people in a site called hackernews started considering it acceptable.
