I can say i have never seen this document, nor have i read anything quoting it.
I can also say it therefore bears zero relevance on the legitimate evidence about Hunter Biden’s biz, via laptop and Bobulinski.

Update: long response from one of the authors of the draft: https://mobile.twitter.com/BaldingsWorld/status/132193469593...
Nah people will just go with whatever junk is on the service they signed up for in the past 2 years, which is why these guys are so aggressively trying to get market share.
When learning something new, it's usually best not to fight against the stream. After you understand it well, then your efforts to bring it into your old way of doing things will be more fruitful.
It's not "their" politics, it's just politics. What politicians do matters. Politics matters. "I don't want to hear about how our country is being run because 'politics'" is a really weird attitude to take towards a news outlet. This IS the news. Why do you think it's weird for it to get covered?
Because compression, as normally considered, does not generate entropy. It causes gas to become hotter because the temperature has to be higher for entropy to remain constant, as the volume is reduced. This is a reversible process. But shocks are inherently irreversible.

But as my last sentence said, as the mach number goes to infinity the density increase across the shock is finite. Therefore, compression cannot be the (primary) source of the heating; dissipation is.
This idea of a shadowy unified people that control everything is a poor way to try to make sense of the world.
How is that even legal?! I mean I know the gov gets their data via abuse of the third party doctrine, but just straight up selling your data? If I had to guess they slap a dubious label of"anonymized" data...
Haven't read every comment, but I read quite a few and I'm shocked that people are thinking the new world of streaming is "the same" as cable.

What I get from streaming that I didn't get from cable is: no commercials and the ability to watch on demand without recording or other hassle. I would pay more than cable prices for those two features.

I don't except to pay one company and get all companies' products - in any context. You don't get Whoppers at McDonald's, Ford doesn't sell Toyotas. Intermediaries create their own islands of exclusivity (you can only get X on Door Dash and Y on Uber Eats).

What I'm worried about is streaming services not letting me pay to not have to watch commercials.

Last thought - if you think there's "nothing good" on platform Z you may be burning through content way too fast. I don't think we can or should put out endless hours of great new TV content aligned to each person's tastes.
I mean, the HS teacher that told me this had a masters in Mech E. Or so he claimed, hmm...
This is why the antri trust against Google is so important, to make it easier for the media to sell subscriptions so as not to have to resort to clickbait.

I don't know if you follow the piracy news much, but the crackdown has only increased in viciousness.

Tools like youtube-dl get banned from github, and private torrent servers are taken down, and the data the site has is used to subpoena email providers and ISPs for individuals to sue.

I know we all come from the background of imagining information wants to be free, but it's only going to be another 20 years or so until having a general purpose computer in your house will be as suspicious as having a chemistry lab in your basement.

The next step I'm expecting is some blurring of the line between civil and criminal penalties for piracy, and for police to seize someone's house because it was used for piracy.

What he meant to say was: "the FBI has confirmed there is a laptop". They have no commented at all about what's on it, only to say that these emails and salacious photos were being shopped around Ukraine last year and were most likely stolen at a different time.

I suppose if you’re already using an Android device, why not?
Sure I can mention my experience. It's a common path I see on https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics/ or https://bioinformatics.stackexchange.com/. For me I moved to a new state (wife's job) and checked out Craigslist to look for interesting jobs. The local university Cancer Center had openings for experienced software engineers. No bio background but they had great bio people and I could help them analyze their data, take their R and Python code and clean it up, make it faster, add tests, scale to the cloud, etc. I kept a bio notebook on the side and attended talks and lectures, spent time with people on the bench, read books/textbooks etc, and gradually picked up a lot of the bio (it's a massively big domain—OOM bigger than I realized). It's a great combo when you have people with bio experience + people with software engineering experience. I was able to help lots of teams with various technical challenges, start my own projects, and met a lot of teams throughout the country + world doing interesting research and am still involved with various research endeavors.

A key challenge in biology now is the huge amount of data and wrangling that requires smart software, so someone with strong software engineering skills can be the difference between publishing a paper in 3 months vs 3 years. If you search any of the many top tier bio research orgs (Allen, MD Anderson, Broad) in the USA you'll see lots of openings for software engineers without too much consideration for prior bio experience.
I usually look through a site like IMDB[1] who regularly updates what new releases are coming out on services.

I suspect that might be the case for some people. I also suspect a large portion of users will migrate back to torrenting (or Popcorn Time).
It's mind-blowing that we live like this.

We forced every adult into being a single atomic worker by completely eliminating jobs and benefits that enable single earners to care for their entire family (through the "unpaid" domestic work of the wife). Then, when we need to actually care for our families, we outsource that to the private sector, so that other atomic worker units can do the job for us. We have to do this, because nobody has time to care for our parents; we all have to work!

What did we get for doing this? What life improvements were gained?

The collective grief of the millions of people who have died alone is not worth any of this.

Well things are a little fuzzy right now. I was just telling someone who asked me this, the plan is to make it open source eventually (after I refactor the code so that people can actually understand it!), but I would like to make a little money from it too (stupid covid!). So if I can make some money through patreon, crowdsourcing, youtube ads or something like that, then that's what I'm going to do.
My main hatred is the simple one

Lat/Lon or Lon/Lat, and what about altitude? especially when libraries have parameters like x, y, z and you have to triple-check which value is going into which vaguely named, not well documented, field.

Because there are different conventions on which value goes to which depending on your background.
There's no irony in finding limitations when building on a poorly planned foundation that don't exist when starting from a clean slate.

150 years ago we didn’t have cars or telephones. The bulk of the world’s population lived on farms.

To be clear: I am not saying it’s not happening, or that we should do nothing or be unconcerned. Just that I have confidence in human creativity, ingenuity, and technological advances.

Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) provides solutions for many problems affecting data transmission.

The most important aspect, reliability, is addressed via acknowledgments and retransmissions, and shapes the "TCP state machine" (insert diagram here).

Congestion control is another one. One mechanism of congestion control in TCP is the Nagle's algorithm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle%27s_algorithm

Disabling Nagle's algorithm is usually done via the TCP_NODELAY flag.

The article says the glass does actually have a viscosity, so maybe she was not quite that wrong - just about the magnitude.

I think glass has a viscosity, but other solids do not, but will creep.

I hope my understanding is correct - if not, can anyone help explain?
Because that’s not how the world works. This is evident by living in it. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened.

What’s happens in the real world is that you abide by contractual agreements and if a party breaks the agreement, you sue them for breach of contract. This also requires that you can sue them for breach of contract. Otherwise, you can kick dirt.

Understand now?

The op-ed page is not the same as the news, which is what I remember Bill Kristol being hawkish in.
Same for me between R's data-frames and Python pandas' data-frames, they kind of do the same thing but they're also just different enough to make switching hard, you're constantly stuck in an uncanny valley
“They” refers to the teachers in this context. Sorry to assume you spoke English as a first language.

He must not have been the top of his class if he had ended up a HS teacher.

Which is actually kinda sad. Pay and working conditions for teachers shouldn't be so that being a teacher is regarded as a failure.
Judith Miller wasn't an op-ed columnist.

OTOH, ISTR that she was at least accused of actively deceiving her editors.
It’s amazing a man would work for a masters degree and end up teaching mainly below average people at a public institution. What’s a masters degree worth?
Nope, not op-ed. This is a reference to Judith Miller, and others, that published false information in the New York Times about Iraq's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction on the front page.

... wow we strayed far away from nsa backdoors. Let me just say this: as someone who had "east german ministry of state security" as part of the school curriculum, i can only warn those who did not about the immense dangers of a database with a profile of every citizen created by invasive surveillance into their private lives. In less realistic scenario: they might be building a baslilisk in that utah data center that ranks citizens for termination by drone strike and that can go very wrong in case of a singularity. Arnie even traveled back to 1984 to warn us ...
Different from the OP, but Youtube Premium now feels like "we will just make YouTube worse and worse to sell Premium".

Even with all of the pushing toward Premium they have done for me, the only values I even know are "you get the ad blocker experience without installing an ad blocker" and "we stop blocking picture-in-picture support".

I hate that ad blocking causes the channels I watch to not get financial support, but at this point I refuse to let Google be the middle-man and make money off of providing a purposely horrific experience.

Of course there is a way to duplicate a line in Emacs by default. Like in vi, you compose simple commands.

Let's see:

; Duplicates the current line
S-C-backspace C-[y y]

; Duplicates the current line
C-[a k k y y]

; Duplicates the current line
C-[a SPC n w y y]

; Duplicates the current line
C-[a SPC n] ESC w C-y

Repeat duplicating until it looks like enough:

; Duplicate again until happy
C-[y y y...]

; Duplicate again until happy
C-x z z z...

Duplicate 3 lines instead of 1:

; Duplicate this line and the next two
C-[a u] 3 C-[k y y]

Duplicate 10 times:

; Duplicate the current line 10 times
C-[a k k] C-x ( C-y C-x ) C-u 10 C-x e

; Duplicate the current line 10 times
C-[a SPC n w] C-x ( C-y C-x ) C-u 10 C-x e

; Duplicate the current line 10 times
S-C-backspace C-x ( C-y C-x ) C-u 10 C-x e

Remove duplicate lines instead:

; Select region, then
M-x delete-duplicate-lines

Is it regarded as a failure? Teachers in public schools work part time for 25 years and get a scaling pension they “negotiated” with the politicians their union dues elected. I’d call them fantastic winners. Grifters? Sure. But certainly not losers.
I agree with that, I just don't think its merely if/then logic like I had been exposed to earlier, but more calculated thought process
Given The Economist's neoliberal bent, why would the sale to "globalists" change their values?

Also, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not - but using the word "Globalists" as a pejorative for the Rothschilds is a very common anti-semitic tactic.
The ones here all say "No Roller-blading", which should be a good indicator as to how relevant they are.
Sadly research has proven otherwise:

1. Users do not understand the difference between an EV and a DV cert. We spent a decade training users that the padlock is all you need.

2. Company registration norms are not standardised across the world, and you can easily get a certificate for Microsoft Corp, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15904513 for eg.
Are they though? Most VR games just lower their graphical fidelity enough to get similar/better performance as non-vr games even on relatively mid range hardware.
I can't make sense of your claim. Compression could be done adiabatically, or not, but that doesn't mean it's isothermal or somehow inherently adiabatic. In fact, for it to be isothermal would require the transport away of compression heat, which would be decidedly non-adiabatic.

The parent is correct.
You are the one regarding them as failures. I had a variety of teachers in school, some were very educated (PhDs), and simply found a calling in teaching. Not everything is about money, you shouldn’t look down on teachers.
It's not always that simple, there may be potential uses that are uneconomical at current prices but kick in at 10x or even 2x reduction. The increased demand would prevent further collapse. See Jevons paradox[1] for a more general case of this in coal and road usage.

Injecting that amount of mineral wealth into the global economy would be pretty much an unalloyed good. So many things would become cheaper to build.

My hunch was that TouchBar wasn't about the keyboard, it was about the screen.

They were looking to do away with the laptop screen entirely, and the keyboard would be the computer. You would always need to plug your laptop into an external display. Many people mostly just plug their laptop into external monitors anyway. The benefit is you could cut the cost of the laptop drastically and make it more robust.

But to do that, you would still need some display on the keyboard for various scenarios (mostly to resolve any connection issues with the display), hence the TouchBar.

But just a theory.
> Almost everything we think (including me) is probably trash. We just need to accept we are mostly idiotic.

I do not like this attitude. Everything is false, because the truth exists only in ideal condition of math. But it doesn't mean that we are all idiotic and know nothing worthy knowing. The trick is to understand the relation between knowledge and the reality, to feel this relation in your guts. It helps to know a lot of falsehoods, and to be smart, even wise and knowledgeable.

> We are all mainly dumb at most things.

I could agree with this, because to really know something one needs to spent all his life researching the topic. And even the life full of the dedicated research might be not enough.

But as I see, to be dumb is not so about having no knowledge, as about having no idea of limits of one's knowledge.
This would probably be awesome as an immersive VR “game”.

I read it, or at least as much of it as I could get through. Good writing and due diligence are the last words I would use to describe that piece. It was more of a rant than an article.

It isn’t. Free countries don’t enforce the laws of oppressive regimes for them.
I have seen financials for a number of nursing homes owned by friends. They get paid by Medicare for short term rehab in their facility and the rate is about $400/day. The majority of the people are long term on Medicaid and the reimbursement is between $120-200 per day depending on case difficulty. There are certain games they play to increase the reimbursement such as getting most of the patients diagnosed with depression. I have heard zingers such as “there is a very fine line between optimizing patient care and Medicaid fraud”. At Medicaid rates the only way it works is if the people providing the care make about $10/hr. All the good caregivers tend to work at the best run facilities, so quality tends to be bimodal.
If you have better numbers I'd like to see them. 24% didn't seem right to me so I wanted to see where that figure came from. Low income households pay negative federal income tax rates (7.65% for FICA included) after the earned income credit is applied. You can make a case that the 7.65% paid by the employer also lowers wages, but if you want to discuss second order effects like that you have to also get into the weeds that taxes on corporations increase the costs of goods and and are a indirect tax on consumers.

Calculating the actual rate is almost impossible as you'd need to factor in property taxes, gasoline taxes, sales taxes, costs involved in vehicle registration and other permits and so on.

Even then people disagree on what a is a tax and what isn't and argue that some of those things shouldn't be included. For example, the individual mandate in the affordable care act levied what was called a fine to people who did not have health insurance the previous year (Individual Shared Responsibility Payment) but in real terms this wasn't very different than a tax and was collected by the IRS.

Similarly, some would claim Social Security and Medicare payments are not taxes due to the fact that those programs directly provide services to the party who paid into them. This is also the justification for phasing them out over certain income thresholds as after you have contributed a certain amount to the program you are "paid up" as it were.

My point is in order to discuss this first we must agree on what constitutes a tax in the first place and that is much easier said than done. If we take the all non voluntary payments to any government and their second order effects route we are probably talking about a rate of over 50% on average, however under that same definition Facebook is paying much more than 4%.
