Yes, women seems to be attracted to guys with dogs. As a guy, I have a dog, every time I take him out to dog park without my wife, I get hit on.

But dogs are so much work and they are needy. If I had to do over, I would get a cat. My friends with cat can take wknd trip without taking or boarding their cats. Sometimes, they have no idea where their cat is.

My guess is having a dog is not about masculinity but it shows that this guy can handle responsibility and needs of others.
I agree. The basic interface design seems really neat but it's so easy to run into horrible problems with it. For one it doesn't really deal with errors very well: once you've thrown a message into it there's basically no mechanism to know if something goes wrong with it (and it certainly used to just straight up assert in many, many error cases, which sure made it hard to use the 'reliable central broker' mechanism they advocate in the docs). The implementation is also really brittle: it's basically trivial to cause all kinds of misbehaviour if the other end does not act as expected. The problem is there isn't really many good alternatives that are actually similar. Other 'message queues' are basically big databases, not a library. I feel there's room for something with the same philosophy but better execution.
+100 for this, I fought through bland math classes at university before using z transforms for antenna analysis in my rf course.
Please please please start with the use case and then introduce the solution, for me problem, solution using tool x, theory of tool x is the way to go.
Our solution lets the transporter timestamp the odometer reading and car body with photos at time of pickup, on a blockchain. When the car is dropped off, it's just a matter of comparing the blockchain record with the car's actual state. Our system lets many parties who don't know or trust each other view the same "shared state" on a public blockchain ledger (Stellar), enforcing between these parties.

I have a friend with a similar use case. His company solves it by taking Polaroids, and both parties sign the backs.

Not just the US, China exports stuff everywhere. I think this can be mitigated by making planned obsolescence illegal and somehow forcing companies to maximize quality.

We don't need crappy pens, toys, electronics, etc...

I don't know about you, but I'm personally happy to own one ballpoint pen that'll last me for 20 years (and only have to refill it from time to time). If anything, just to not see some poor guy work as a slave (long work-days, minimum pay, suicide nets). Right now you can just go purchase 10x crappy pens that easily break and dry out for around €2, whyyyy?
Thanks - good viewpoint too
The return value of some forms is implementation dependent, but all forms return a value in CL:

CL-USER(1): (defparameter *foo* (declaim (special x)))
*FOO*
CL-USER(2): *foo*
(X)
CL-USER(3): (defparameter *bar* (declaim (type integer x)))
*BAR*
CL-USER(4): *bar*
(X)

In other cases, e.g. `(values)` which is an expression that returns no values, the value is nil

> then they can risk encouraging 10% of the population to cast, say, 4 extra votes (for their deceased grandparents), without worrying that the dreaded Purple Party might exploit this laxness and give Purple the win.

The calculus of voter fraud will definitely change. But I don't know. In order for an individual to commit voter fraud, they have to believe that the benefit is worth the risk them as an individual.

And, for the individual, voter fraud would only "work" to the extent that they think everyone else will do it too.

I intuitively feel that voter fraud is a much bigger bogeyman than people make it out to be.

I think the bigger fear is corruption of the election commission; such that they turn a blind eye to or even contribute to voter fraud.

Of course, no system is incorruptible, and the test for acceptance shouldn't be perfection, but improvement over the status quo (this idea of iteration is the cornerstone of our constitution).

That being said, I'm not convinced that the voter fraud risk makes this proposal more corrupt than the system we currently have. Voter fraud is an easier problem to solve than voter suppression, IMO.
Only that? What about non-editable history?
By no means all people. He became very well known in the tech community in the 90s because a significant number of people were interested in what he was saying.

He won the MacArthur award in 1990.
The search for a right handed W boson is ongoing. As far as I’m aware there is no theoretical reason explaining why it shouldn’t exist.
The whole Marx and state violence somehow came to be mentioned as response to following:

> The private sphere is where the most severe abuse happens.

> It family where publicly charizmatic people stop trying to be charizmatic and start being abusive. Also, it is not rare, both private part and abuse part went up during lockdowns.

There was literally no mention of class warfare. And the fact also is, feudalism had whole philosophy of classes and keeping them in place too.

For that matter, John Brown said that slavery is war against own people (meaning blacks), so really, while exact rhetoric he used may be marxist, the general simple idea of conflict between classes of people is not.

But most importantly, it is completely unrelated to what I wrote.
In can do some of the things you'd use a notary for.

Or, just use an entirely conventional database, operated by the notary.
I wonder what the verdict would be for a guy who has a bird?
>If we don't switch solely to solar and wind worldwide in the next ten years there's going to be an apocalyptic ecological event.

Well, being as how there's 0% probability of us ending fossil fuel usage in that time, I guess we'll put your prediction to the test. Personally, I don't see it happening...
It would be interesting to see how this looks like for a different planet.
The central authority is useful in reaching disputes, but is not omniscient. Registration of deeds is a fairly inconsistent and non-centralized process. Still. So this record would be useful in the case of disputes.
This is not merely expressing an opinion, it's justifying genocide.

It's abhorrent, on the level of holocaust denial.
At most (all?) venues, betting on both guys is worse than not betting on either guy. So this sounds like a bad plan.
ZeroMQ is used heavily in the backend of Jupyter and allows for a huge variety of non-Python kernels. It's brokerless, which sets it apart from all the other things you listed here.
Not to get too esoteric, but at some point a trillion years is meaningless. Nothing really matters or doesn't matter - it's how you want to look at it. And distracting yourself with pointless stuff is totally valid. In fact, it's probably what we're all doing in one way or the other.
You don’t need to boycott 100% to be effective. Boycotting 80%, or even 10%, is surely better than doing nothing.

I’d also say it’s surprisingly easy to boycott Chinese goods, as well as companies kowtowing to China.
I'm using "you" to refer to the reader, not the OP. English can be confusing at times.
I was unaware that copyright in the UK was so extreme. That's unfortunate.

The topic at hand, however, is a DMCA action between two US entities (the RIAA and GitHub) and so is purely a matter of US law AFAIK. My understanding (possibly mistaken) was that the courts here had nearly always permitted making personal copies of otherwise legitimately obtained media. In fact, my understanding is that reversing this status quo was one of the primary motivations behind the DMCA; by disallowing circumvention of protection schemes, in many instances it effectively outlawed the tools needed to make otherwise permitted copies.
Finding a notary trusted by all parties may prove an issue, especially in international contexts. A blockchain may be cheaper.
You can put the word in your corporate press release for a price pump. Lol. As blockchains are the worlds most expensive and slow databases, that also have silent bit-rot... You must run your own computer that verifies that what you've written stays written, and doesn't get forked away, and that it even wrote in the first place, as the block could be full or your 1st block you are "in" gets orphaned.

Thus, you must really, truly need censorship resistance to accept that sucktitude. So what are people censoring? Financial transaction, social media posts (but they must for moderation anyway.) Websites are also censored, which is layer down the stack from social posts, The low throughput of blockchains makes them inappropriate for this purpose. Probably also for the social posts as well. Good luck!
How do you undo any dents that may occur during a joyride though?
Haha. Owning a dog equals responsibility. How the standards have fallen.
> Going out further on a limb I would speculate that the men showing dogs are not displaying poodles or shih tzus but rather dogs that were traditionally trackers and hunters like shepherds and pit bulls.

That is out on a limb because:

- poodles were traditionally used for hunting ducks

- this is sort of a case in point where people often don't know (or need to know) the history of dog breeds, so their traditional uses per se are often irrelevant.

However, I think people's understanding of modern breed-specific associations (e.g. a belief that pit bulls are prone to attack, use of german shepherds by police and search-and-rescue) are perhaps enough to explain how people would use them in social posturing.
It's a one-time $25 cost. It is also entirely worth it.

iOS users spend an order of magnitude more money than Android users, so that was the creator's logic - use them as the "whales".

> One of two PHP major web frameworks borrowed everything they could from it.

Weird flex.

So you're saying that an aged veteran in any sport who observes and learns from his younger peers should be looked down upon as being on their bandwagon? Their growth, improvement and continued success should be discounted?

> Even PHP is on _Rails'_ bandwagon .... XD

I fixed that for you.
But isn't whether it is superluminal a question of the latency, not the bandwidth?

(Where, the bit rate, bits/second, would, I think, be a measure of bandwidth. I could be wrong.)
QuickJS is quite a pleasure to work with, for variety of reasons. Not using setjmp/longjmp and having a nice internal resource leak debugging mechanisms are just a few of them. I've already replaced most of my duktape uses with QuickJS, and I'm quite happy with the result.
It is worth mentioning that his policies have simultaneously alienated the EU, making it more difficult to build a large coalition. That said, you're right that Trump has done more to curtail Red China than most prior presidents, at least individually. He'd likely have had a hard time anyway considering that Red China has bought a significant chunk of Europe and the developing world via her Belt and Road Initiative of debt-trap diplomacy.
Like "I have a bird in my pants?"
That's truly impressive.
This is why it's important that the White House challenges China for the right reasons with the right strategy. Trump is certainly the most anti-China president in years, but he often contradicts himself and frames it with racist, partisan, and protectionist rhetoric, actually damaging human rights-based anti-China opposition. Not to mention he's intent on weakening the levers of soft power that the US has traditionally used as he damages alliances and withdraws from global organizations like the WHO.

It's not enough to be publicly anti-China. Effective leadership demands a focused message, effective coalition building, and unifying rhetoric where Trump has turned it into a partisan wedge like everything he wades into.
I've never heard of that. The dog was domesticated recently, long after wolves existed as a species. So I don't see how you could even reconcile that with your story.
In addition to the other comments - underlying health issues related to sleep (i.e. apnea) can destroy recall.

The Amiga was out in 1985. The PC did not have comparable graphics and sound to the C64 until the early 1990s and to the Amiga until the late 1990s.

Sure, you could - at any point in time - get a good frame buffer card from e.g. Matrox and a good sound card from e.g. turtle beach or Gravis. But the baseline targeted by most software was a SuperVGA du jour and 8-bit soundblaster (Adkins compatible!). 16 bit sound became common only at the end of the 1990s, whereas the Amiga had 14-bit capable sound in 1985 (required a trick, but was there all along).
North Koreas stories can be much worse, but typically are not found outside of religious groups like Voice of the Martyrs.
Is it not a responsibility? Owning something that requires care and attention certainly seems like a responsibility to me.

Worth noting that despite it's a women oriented thing (they get in touch with you only if they want to) on their website you could look at others' stats - how many visits they had get, how many "charms" they've received (how many men expressed their wish to get in touch with them) and how many messages they've sent - which for the time I was there could estimate than the number of messages could be around 3-10% of the total of "charms" they received
> but to distribute the underlying films as part of a commercial offering they need copyright licenses to those films

They sell tickets to these events. It's still fair use, (and it would not be possible to have these events without someone first acquiring a digital copy for archival.) You're arguing that they could broadcast the video with commentary but they can't make (or take) a copy? This is prerequisite to the activity! And many of these publishers may no longer exist, as not everyone agrees these movies are classics.

Also section 117 of Copyright Act explicitly calls out the making of a copy for archival as an allowable exception.
The DMCA makes not just copyright violation but circumvention technology too a criminal offense. This is an amazing tale about copyright enforcement, cat & mouse, but here in America, we've outlawed & made criminal anything mouse like.
What...?

Every set {1/n^k | k in N} for n in N is a basis for R over Q, in the sense that any r in R is a Sum[0, inf)[q_i * b_i].

It’s not a finite basis, but it’s definitely countable.

It’s not generally the case that a countable union of countable sets is countable — that only holds in the finite case, as we see with power series representations of real numbers.
Owning a dog has always been a large responsibility. Why do you think that's a fallen standard?

Not everyone handles that responsibility well, as is the case with most things, but it's still a large responsibility.
Airbnb recruits ex-Apple design honcho Jony Ive
True, but it depends on the lifetime of the contract. A century-old family-run law firm in Liechtenstein has much less risk associated with it than any technical solution. TCO rather than upfront cost, in other words.
Actually, I'd say the American cultural standards of responsibility for a dog owner have risen dramatically in the past couple of decades.
I definitely agree that SRS can reasonably be thought of as a learning superpower. I very much regret that I didn't start using Anki until college.

To save my own kids from such a regret, I've created Boethius, a SRS web application for the classical liberal arts to augment our homeschool curriculum. It's now in public beta here: https://www.boethi.us/.

Let me know what you think!
You could definitely start a non-profit building a site for helping people with this problem. Here's the idea: you have a court date, you can submit documentation to the service, and it will try to automatically purchase an uber for you wherever your location is. You could setup a profile ahead of time so all information can be verified and let people who need to get to the court decide on when/where to schedule their car. As I'm sure you're well aware of, this would mean having to be a little more flexible since the location where they would be picked up may not be easily predicted depending on the day. This is an interesting technical and UI/UX problem!

There are a lot of other interesting CS problems building a project like this because of the optimization problems you immediately hit: how can I most effectively distribute the uber fees to people who need them the most. Criteria could include: how many bus transfers they have before being able to get to the court house, how "fragile" this process could be (because of late buses, etc),

I guarantee if you could build an MVP in your free time and show it on this site, you should be able to raise some money, at least enough for an experiment to show the website works correctly and effectively helps people get to their court dates. If that works, I'm confident you could get enough donations to get this project off the ground permanently (well, until the drug problems are fixed).

Because drug enforcement has clogged up so much of our legal system, it is conceivable that building a system like this could end up saving the state some money on fees since it would make it easier for people to show up on time. Also, since you have a centralized system with data on all interactions, you could improve your distribution algorithms by making sure people don't end up at the court late, causing the system to be unnecessarily further burdened.
Doctorow is a pundit and pseudo-futurist who thinks he can write (or at least has convinced some small subset of this particular delusion.) In small doses like short stories or selected snippets from his novels there is a bit of fun, but too much and it becomes apparent that he is better at the idea than the literary execution.
I used this analogy in a narrative allegory after reading pillars of the earth.

https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/07/14/the-serfs-of-facebook...

I like this part:

> Jonathan looked upset. “Why do the knights support this work? They are skilled farmers, couldn’t they tend their own land?”

“The earls offer the knights a comfortable life, high salary, and pleasant work (though curiously poor housing). Life outside the earldom is uncertain and difficult.”

“Do no knights strike out on their own?”

Philip was quiet for a moment. He pointed across a vast vista to a large castle in the distance adjacent to that of their own Earl Zuckerberg’s. “That is the castle of Sir Brian Acton of the former Earldom of WhatsApp. Sir Acton was an idealistic farmer who rejected the ways of our earl. He promised the serfs he would take no part of their data harvest they produced from the land he provided them, and instead the serfs even paid him a small cash fee for his protection. He had no knights to watch and report on his people and no heralds spreading pronouncements.”

“What happened?”

“He was too successful. Earl Zuckerberg saw many of his serfs begin to leave his lands to work the lands of Sir Acton (at the time he was known as Farmer Acton). This was a risk to the power of Zuckerberg’s earldom, since an earl without serfs to tend to the data fields has no harvest to interest others. In the end he offered Sir Acton a knightship and such enormous wealth that he could not refuse. It’s said he now lives in that vast castle alone, is rarely seen, and rarely speaks. The serfs that were in agreement with him now belong to Earl Zuckerberg as they had before, their deal was broken, and once again they tend to our earl’s data harvest.”
Serious question - which of these advance American national interests or prevent human rights abuses?

The first item in your list is President Trump calling the virus the Chinese virus. Aside from maybe bringing his supporters as a rallying cry, what does that actually achieve? It feels more like hollow political rhetoric and not something that delivers any kind of results.

What do the arms sales achieve? Is it merely profit for the American industrial complex, or are you saying Hong Kong now has some chance against China in the event of a military conflict?
It does though? You have to have a stable life in order to keep a dog. Vet bills, food etc. might not seem like a whole ton to you but we're still thousands of dollars a year at best. Also like OP stated, you can't just take off as a dog needs daily care and attention.

I want a dog but I haven't been able to make the time nor can I afford one at this point.
The topic was really about how we may not know we're being studied by unknown aliens, just like ants. My response was about the ants not knowing the why but still aware of existence. So far we don't know about the existence of aliens, hence the part about how they'd have to be doing passive and remote studying.
I think "The Vow" was really interesting where the first episode made you think "wow, they've really developed a revolutionary technique for self-help" but by the last episode you were completely disgusted.

It made me realize why people actually get sucked into these things.
Over the course of my life the tinfoil to warranted concern has been the general trend. Mostly in areas where unchecked ambition for control, power, and influence have allowed greed to convince people to do evil unto others.

The natural cost of information is the marginal cost of copying. It's the creation of new, useful information that needs to be incentivized; that's where UBI or some other hire more public works creators / maintainers would be good.

The hardware still matters too, and much of why _that_ is under attack are greedy actors who want to have a cartel of control and manipulation; so that they own all things and can have them work against end users.
What's more worrying is people I speak to regularly now don't even know who he is. And if they do it's because of the toe cheese incident.

We're obsessed with celebrity trivia and judge the person rather than the message being delivered. I see that a lot in other areas these days as well.

This is a broken society in my mind.
I tried to define Japanese words from the ground up starting using emojis and then using the word already defined to define more complex words.

https://drdru.github.io/stories/intro.html

It is doable. There is a book called Lingua Latina per se Illustrata that does it for Latin. I have to admit that it has some limits. At some point you want to go back to using your mother tongue. English is not my first language. I live in the UK everything I read is in English. There are some words I have seen a thousand times and I sort of know what they mean but they become mine only after I look up for their translation.
I'm curious what entitles you to claim I am "susceptible to anti-China hysteria"? How could you possibly know that? And what do Uigurs have to do with the Middle East or Korea? And what does American foreign policy have to do with me? I am not an American.

There's no logic or reason in your response. You write like an AI bot trained on nothing but Chomsky interviews.

We ought to have been making very good friends in South America and Africa starting about ten years ago. We need to catch up very quickly now. They can both replace Red China for cheap labor and keep her from gaining influence in the developing world.
