As a kid, I had a tough time pronouncing, let alone distinguishing the vocal difference between -λιος and -γιος and other phonetically pronounced Greek words that demand attention to detail.

For instance, "sun" is called "ήλιος" but the way I was pronouncing it sounded like "ήγιος", which does not exist as a word, but sounded more like "υγιής" in a very wrong way.

My mother got petrified when she realized how I was using such words (be it ήλιος, ελιές, μαλλιά, Στέλιος and so forth), because my grandfather (her father-in-law) is a mumbler - lisper - stammerer...so hard to understand him.

So, she had to act quickly: she dedicated hours on me showing me in very slow visual motion the mouth / tongue muscle movements I should use and in what way so I could pronounce the words properly.

The approach kind of resembles to the procedure of how people learn to observe the mouth in Sign Language in order to understand what you are saying.

Her trick was to find words that either had a common beginning or end and pay extra emphasis on those to pronounce them correctly and then blend those two successful pronounciation on matching "problematic, lispy" words.

In shorter than 2 months, I was able to speak normally without a problem at all.

Maybe this approach could help a bit?

You have nothing to lose; give it a try.

Good luck!
I like the idea of DNS based on blockchain. Obviously money is involved there.
That's pretty cool. I remember using a rocksmith cable into my laptop running Bias FX as a last minute replacement for my amp when it died the day before a gig. Good to see that there is a product that fills in the niche for USB-C.

My biggest question for this product is the sample rate, and at what output the input clips. This would be fine for most passive guitars, but active EMGS or a Piezo system could definitely clip or distort the input if you don't roll off some volume.

It's overly generalised yes, but a vast proportion of the world is not over 6ft, yet this is often remarked as a minimum requirement on dating profiles. However in reality it often turns out that their real "height requirements" are far lower from anecdotal experience. The perception that being 6ft is the norm and that men should always be tall is highly prevalent
I just did a take-out today based on your comment here.

I received links to over 100 tgz files (4GB each), and checked a couple. Each had JPG files and JSON files with extra metadata ("geoDataExif", "geoData" (inferred from my location history?), "title", "description", etc).

I can't tell if the actual images are the originals I uploaded, but I can confirm the images were archived as actual images, and in a serviceable format/structure.

Fair enough, it wasn't so much blame more of a they only got where they are because of general purpose computing, like it or not, those are the people now acting as gate keepers. It was more of a 'I expected better', trying to lay the blame kind of thing.

In Australia during the 1950s, TB had become quite common especially with millions of immigrants coming in from disadvantaged parts of Europe after WW2.

So they had Mobile X-Ray Vans that travelled from town to town doing widespread TB screening.

It was very successful, TB was practically wiped out in Australia within 5-10 years.

Chris Hedges “The Politics of Cultural Despair”
To address your concerns:

> isn't whoever controls your code the "timestamping party"?

No (and sort of yes). The result of the timestamp is instantly verifiable against the timestamped data, meaning the results of the timestamp can be viewed on a public blockchain explorer or using an API that interfaces with the blockchain, without trusting our code. If another party doesn't trust our frontend code, they can build their own frontend logic that interfaces with the blockchain in the backend to independently verify results. If someone is using our app, they implicitly trust our code, yes, but they don't have to trust our database. That's the difference.

> In both scenarios, you have no proof of when the photo was taken. It could've been two hours or ten minutes ago. There is no way to digitally verify it.

This is a solvable-ish problem. What our app does is require the photos to be taken in-browser, and adds a small stamp to the photo before hashing it with the most recent Bitcoin block hash. This way, we have a window of ~10 minutes within which we know the photo was taken.

Can this be abused? Yes. But the transporter is exceedingly unlikely to know how, and they also don't have access to the cars before handoff, so the concern is really negligible. Faking the photos is now at least a few order of magnitudes harder than before. We can improve on this in the future.

> posting a photo of a different vehicle

We ask the transporters to take a photo of the VIN in the frame, along with other photos (body, odometer, etc.). This is a pretty foolproof solution.
I did some digging, and I believe this was implemented with the <keygen> element and the generateCRMFRequest and importUserCertificate JavaScript functions.

This is a great idea. FFMPEG is as arcane as it is amazing. This should have been written in a compiled language, however.
This is so much worse than anything I’ve read on the subject up until now. As someone who has worked closely with a man who was born, raised, and educated in China, I can attest to the brutality of the regime. He simply would not say anything negative about CCP. The fear was more real than simple anxiousness. I sensed that he believed there could be real consequences for crossing the government, even in private in a conversation with someone in the US.

> Giving those people access is only a benefit to everyone

From past experience at hardware companies that tried engaging enthusiasts and open source communities, I can tell you that these features benefit <0.1% of the customer base but come at a huge expense to developer productivity.

Once you start down the path of releasing and supporting things publicly, it's a totally different ballgame than simply handling changes and releases internally.
That's the point though: you should only need one package manager.

See my response to the grandparent comment for more details.

> When was it taken?

We currently verify this by including the last Bitcoin block hash in the photo, giving us a ~10 minute time window in which the photo was taken. Also, the whole handoff period is under 20 minutes, so the transporter only has access to the cars for 20 minutes (with many others around), before a timestamp is required.

> Who was taking the picture?

We've never run into this as a problem, but we can require a continuous video including a selfie of the transporter.

> What is the picture of? The car to be protected? Or someone else's car.

This we verify by checking the VIN in the frame (frame number check).

Not sure I agree with that statement. For example, I know that nUnit and jUnit are test runners for the .NET and Java ecosystems, and both of those are also runnable via the CLI.

As for the JS ecosystem, it's definitely developed differently than other languages, because it deals with a very different set of constraints. See this article for background explanation (which also links to further reading)

I love all of the comments happening in this post.
The trusted source of time is the Stellar blockchain, and the last Bitcoin block hash, giving us a ~10 minute period wherein the photo must have been taken. Essentially, we abstract the time synchronization issue away from the photo taker to an external trusted source.

The Bitcoin block hash cannot be known before it's calculated, and a new one is calculated every 10 minutes. Works great.
Welcome to voting systems.
And it's also possible China is completely in the wrong. I'm not even advocating for an even sided situation, I'm advocating understanding the situation first before throwing an accusation.

What we do know is this... we have people on the inside of Hong Kong and we know that in Hong Kong China is not conducting mass genocide or opening up re-education camps in Hong Kong. This is different from what's happening with the Uighurs... we need to know what prompted China to react much more heavily against the Uighurs (as opposed to Hong Kong) and we also need to confirm whether the alleged "genocide" is real.

The post that was called disgusting is indeed a valid alternative viewpoint quite possibly from someone closer to the situation than your average white guy.

Also keep the outrage in check. Even a modern western country in 2020 is capable of this crap. The US has their own detention camps open today. It exists using a technique called extraordinary rendition to get around American laws. The camp is called gitmo and there are some real pictures about some really horrible shit that went down at gitmo.
You're absolutely right. The thing America most needs to do is open her borders to truly free trade with the world, with the exception of Red China and a few other nations we want to topple. More than that, we need to build free trade areas (of which we are a part) in those areas, strengthening them further against her influence. We need everyone else on our side and that's a great way to make progress towards that goal.

> an append-only, distributed database that is cryptographically verifiable

You just described a blockchain. Why rebuild what already exists? A blockchain is a great drop-in solution and reduces our costs and implementation worries massively. And the distribution of this public blockchain is much more decentralized than we could ever achieve running our own nodes.

It makes it hard to alter historical data. It does not prove the data was correct to begin with. Blockchain isn't the only way to do this but it is a good way if you don't trust the parties holding the data not to attempt to alter it. You could avoid that by holding your own copy of the data and checking against that. What solution is best depends on the situation.
Looks great and something I'd love. It must have taken a long time to create.

Shame it's on Steam. Is there any reason you haven't made this available directly? You could offer both a Steam version that takes a cut of your money, then one on your website that you retain the full payment. Or is that against Steam's laws?
While you're right from an exercise standpoint, you're dead wrong from a design one, at least if you want to apply it broadly. A lot of us live in places where summer days can easily top 100 degrees, and the better part of the year it's just too darn unpleasant to walk outside. I suppose it's possible if one works at an office with showers and lockers to allow for changing clothes, but even then it's unpleasant and still unsuitable for everything else.
Suicide Accounts for Most Gun Deaths. A Libertarian Approach Could Help
You probably would be considering this opens a vector for account takeover if both auth identifiers are “lost” and you switch emails to a new one. Hope changing that is tied to sending some kind of notification to the original email when that happens, with instructions to undo.

To prevent getting there in the first place, could you do the type of “is this info still alright?” as part of the login flow every now and then?
May reduce some of the cases at least.

If this happens just too often, you may need to ask for another means of contact info. Additional email/phone, which should all be pinged whenever auth info changes.

Nobody said you were defending the US. Nobody tried to justify anything. No argument was made in favor of anything.

All he asked you was a question:

If there were terrorist attacks happening today that are responsible for killing hundreds of americans with no end in sight how would you stop it? What actions would you take to shut down these terrorist cells as fast as possible? What compromises would you make? The only thing you know is that the terrorist acts come from a small cultural ethnic group and that your family could be part of the next attack.

If you knew the perfect answer to this question that could be answered without compromising a single ethical principle, than likely China would've known the answer as well.
It's yet another word for libertarian communism / anarcho-communism / anarchism / communalism in the tradition of Bakunin, Kropotkin, Bookchin and Graeber. Obviously it has a long and interesting intellectual tradition. The basic principles are rejection of all forms of social hierarchy and inequality (nobody can give orders, and all work is voluntary), and rejection of private property (you get access to what you currently need from the shared resources of the community). Perhaps the only law needed would be to prohibit doing harm, or risking harm, to others, at least without their consent. The few practical implementations (in a Western, developed context) have generally succumbed to outside forces, such as Catalonia in the 1930s, and perhaps Rojava today.

I used hyperledger and even the example projects from the instructor were talking about all the threaded operations it can do, if there is no cost to the computation then randoms are DDOSing all the nodes in the system for no reason, which is exactly what happenes in real world hyperledger consortiums.

Don't feel too bad about it, there are far too many notations for the same concepts - completely dependent on the background of the author.

This becomes especially noticeable in hodgepodge fields like Machine Learning / Deep Learning, where you essentially have scientists from all walks of life/sciences, trying to convey the same ideas, but using their own standards of notation.

Check out this Math Overflow answer from none other than Terry Tao, on inner product notation: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/366070/what-are-the-benef...

Point is - he listed 18 different notations, on the spot, all "belonging" to different fields. Now imagine 18 different scientist, from their respective fields, writing research papers using their preferred notation.

Sure, there's going to be a lot of overlap - but there's still room for confusion, even for seasoned engineers and scientists.

(I just used ML and DL as an example, because that's the field where I've noticed the most of this - because of the nature of those fields)
Agreed. Without long exposures, nebulas are all but invisible. Even if you were inside of one, it would still be essentially invisible. They're really diffuse objects; the inside of a nebula is still a hard vacuum.

If only they had the robotics we have today for the initial clean-up process. I'm not saying the robots wouldn't have died from radiation, but better a robot discover a high source of radiation to its peril than a human.

It seems clear to me that autonomous systems will be the only way to go in such scenarios - most types of external communication are near impossible and the situation itself can be dynamic.

I've occasionally seen some very awesome work come out of Japan and the Fukushima nuclear cleanup process. Fingers crossed we can advance robotics far enough for the devastating scenario where they are really needed.
