The conclusion is just a rant, it doesn't pick up on the any of the points.
I personally think in the current form, the paper is very weak and should be reworked.

Especially the methodology is very convoluted.
The method should be clearer, significant increases should be shown from the data first.
Next a model should be given, then the significant increases can be explained as only coming from the rally.

Trajectory is calculated from 10 weeks before the event.
Model isn't given only as increment of cases.
I would expect a fit to some exponential function.

If I would do this with an exponential curve, at a later time the increment would just be bigger.
Increase after rally should be even higher than previous estimate anyway.

It would also help to give the data used in the paper in some simple graphs.

This is only my opinion after a brief skim, I could have missed some stuff.
It'd presumably have to be a contributor who wrote some of the code they can show is in the new product.

Of course, in a normal situation, I imagine no one would care unless they'd contributed a significant amount. Acting this way sure seems like the best way to get someone to persue it on principle though.

They are not being "introduced". The natural wolf populations in areas surrounding the northern wilderness of WI spread into open territory. The packs in WI are only in forested areas in the north naturally. For the wolves to reach southern wilderness they need to pass through the heavily civilized river basins into new mountainous territory, then that isolated population needs to expand on it's own, because they are not being introduced.

You're right about relocations though, it's a class issue. The wolves that predate on livestock are often relocated. Normal wolf sightings though can be reported to the state to increase their coverage: https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/WildlifeHabitat/MammalObsForm.asp

> Some libraries require you to use a specific runtime because they rely on runtime internals to provide a solid API for you to use or wrap their own API around an existing runtime. One example is the actix_web web framework, which wraps its own API around tokio.

So if you want to use two libraries that follow this approach, now you have faced with the hurdle to combine two async/await runtimes into the application.

Even C++ knows better in this regard.

I think expats anywhere should integrate. That doesn't mean to give up everything from your home culture, but it doesn't mean to form a walled enclave with little cultural interaction, either.

Travelers/tourists/etc, is different. I don't expect any integration-- just a basic effort at courtesy.
The problem is in coordinating with other people who are different. For example, meeting with someone else requires you both be awake.

The article is about xenophobia.

Ah, I'm sorry I guess English is not your first language. The article says the following had happened:

"250 people marched through the city centre waving Turkish flags, yelling violent threats like: “We are going to kill the Armenians.”"

This is the literal definition of ethnic cleansing. If you disagree, do you mean that this did not happen? Or are they looking for specific Armenians that were part of the event you are talking about?

I don't know the details of this project but if he is the sole author of the software then he owns the full rights over it and can decide to do whatever he wants.

Of course a major issue is that such projects often accept submissions from other people, which creates major headaches if a change a license is later sought.

Edit: an issue that it is very often not discussed or clear on what basis people can make contributions, and I think that the default position must be that they retain the copyright over their contributions (but is it implied what licensing they are agreeing with?)

Edit 2: I understand that he is not the the sole author, but that does not make anything I wrote incorrect or irrelevant. A lot of drama for some reason...
The fact they claimed it was a complete rewrite shows they don't misunderstand: they knew they were doing something wrong and tried to hide it, just now they are caught they are just trying to gaslight their way out and claim they are the victim here.

I absolutely buy some people were shitty about them deciding to create a commercial product. That in no way justifies stealing from others who contributed to the project, which is the reality here.
Dark mode is not a good solution, from my point of view.
The initial problem, is merely that the white default background of Microsoft Windows, is simply not appropriate :
What is appropriate, is Sepia background, like in Amazon Kindle reader for PC.
I really don't understand why Microsoft did nothing for that, as the solution is so simple to implement. In Windows 98, you could choose another color for default Windows background.
Don't worry, tons of us loved that movie with or without film study backgrounds. It was great either way.
Erasing history in any form isn't great, really. Which is why I was quite specific in the original reply about acknowledging _all_ of it, not just specific bits.

I mean, you can still say that someone was an asshole about a few things but you still loved them. Other people can say they didn't love him at all and have nothing positive to say. They're intimate feelings.

It's not the same as going to someone who is grieving and celebrating and saying, don't forget that he did X, Y and Z though! Where X, Y and Z are hideous things. It's not a place to start trying to change people's minds about someone.

That'll happen all by itself over time, as we can see with people such as Mother Theresa and Jimmy Saville.

All that is probably truth (even if serfdom was a thing until 1861 and so late like 1915 they were still dealing with the consequences), but there is a clear historical fact, whatever the soviet propaganda said: people well feed and happy don't start communist revolutions.

I've tried lowering brightness multiple times, but the decreased contrast and color vibrance that causes on backlit LCDs always bugs me too much, and then I crank the brightness back up.

On my phone it's a different story, since it's OLED. Especially in lower light reducing brightness has little impact on contrast and vibrance.

Can't wait for OLED or microLED to become the standard in desktop and laptop displays so we no longer have to deal with the drawbacks of backlights.

This unfinished book was dropped in favor of "Perelandra", which I think was a good choice.

Numenor was briefly mentioned in "That Hideous Strength".

In Brazil the first two books were translated to Portuguese but, as far as I know, "Strength" never was. That was probably also a good choice as the more familiar you are with British culture the easier it is to like that book. Even for me it is my least favorite and given that I had a computer project named "Merlin" when I read it I expected to enjoy it more.

Edit to my previous comment: there are 10 candidates, not 12

I'm new to these terms, but when I look up "condorcet winner" in on wikipedia, it's defined as: "the candidate that wins a majority of the vote in every head-to-head election"

So, I'm assuming "every head-to-head election" would be 10 factorial elections in our case (one for each pair).

Let's look at a couple of these elections and then extrapolate on the rest of them:

J vs A:

Voters 2 and 3 didn't put A on the list, while they did indicate that they liked J, so they would vote for J. Only Voter 1 would vote for A.

D vs A:

Again, two voters didn't put D on the list (1 & 3), but did indicate that they liked J, while only one voter (voter 2) likes D over A.

You can see that, for each candidate besides J, only one voters like them, while all voters at least like J a little. This means that J will win "every head-to-head election" and thus be the condorcet winner.

The only problem with this proof currently is that STAR doesn't explicitly elect a winner, so therefore it is not "choosing the wrong winner" as it isn't choosing any candidate. It is eliminating the condorcet winner though, which is concerning, and I believe a more complicated example would show STAR choosing a non-condorcet winner.

I like STAR more than RCV after reading up on STAR more. I believe that approval voting might be better though, as it completely elimintates the spoiler effect I believe. Though it may have other problems.

Thinking about this more, I believe a condorcet winner can be chosen with RCV (and STAR with some assumptions) just by changing the tallying system. I was able to dicern from my example who the condorcet winner was, so why not do the same in an election? Just simulate all head-to-head elections to find the condorcet winner. I must be missing something.

Here's a scenario where STAR elects a candidate that is not the condorcet winner:

Voter 1:
5 for B !
4 for C
3 for D
2 for E
1 for A !
Voter 2:
5 for G !
4 for H
3 for I
2 for J
1 for A !
Voter 3:
5 for L
4 for M
3 for N
2 for A !
1 for B !
Voter 4:
5 for Q
4 for B !
3 for S
2 for T
1 for A !
Voter 5:
5 for V
4 for W
3 for G !
2 for Y
1 for A !

I've marked important votes with a '!'. All others are unique votes for candidates with no support.

In this scenario, B and G get the top two scores with 9 and 8. B wins the election with 3 votes (voters 1, 3, and 4) over G's two votes (voters 2 and 5). A is the condorcet winner though as they win every head-to-head contest (with close elections (3-to-2), against B and G). A was eliminated though, as they only scored 6 points.

This was complicated and too much fun to write, so it probably isn't practical in a real world scenario.

From everything I've read, it is on a spectrum. 12 is on the spectrum, but supposedly the longer the period the more marked the effects. I'm not sure at what point the curve flattens and drops off.

12 is better than, say, 8 or 6 (e.g., snacking at night).

Did you attach a phone number to the account?

I had a similar issue with an outlook account I abandoned for a few years. They claimed that the account had been used to send spam (a bloody lie.) It was an account I used for RECEIVING spam (I don't see how that's a violation of terms of service).

They simply wanted collect my phone number. Try to go through the recovery process. They might simply be trying to get your phone number.
So, that's creating new systemic biases. Here, you are talking about creating a fresh start. The only thing reservations do is actually create divide. During Independence, it was compulsory move where caste discrimination was serious. But today, due to industrialisation it holds no meaning. Now, there is only worker class and ruling class. New Generations(majority) are not taught about castes and discrimination around it, the only time they came in contact with such nonsense is during college entrances. I would also point the superior mentality taught in top colleges is also a reason. The way they are indoctrinated in these colleges creates a superior mentality in students and if your classmate scored less than you and got into college, you would also extend that superior mentality to him/her as well.
Ask HN: My girlfriend is “permanently” locked out of her Facebook account
Facebook has locked my girlfriend out of her account for supposed violations of their Community Standards. They state that the decision “cannot be reversed”. This is very confusing because she very seldom even posts to Facebook and had not posted recently. She is not involved in anything controversial or off-colour either. She has some photos and posts in her account which she would like to recover. Also, it’s very frustrating that she can’t communicate with certain friends.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Any suggestions?
I was super excited about the idea of AutoCAD being listed as normally us non-web engineers are left out of “tech” but there are some screwy things with these rankings. For example, many of the CAD postings are like this one,

What part of the response is vitriolic? Or unequivocally supporting Connery? I've read every reply completely and all I see is a group of people wrangling what is a difficult topic.

I'll note you seem remarkably dismissive of any viewpoint that isn't full agreement, and even the parent's reply isn't good enough to meet your standard.

All I can say is that if you wanted to rake someone over the coals rather than have what seems to be a pretty mature discussion, I don't think you'll find what you want from this. Otherwise, there's a lot to unpack in what I think is quite a philosophical conversation.
There is correlation between surnames (or the lack of one), language dialects, dietary habits and caste. But the signal here is very noisy and unreliable except for a few cases like having a well known surname.

To my knowledge there is no correlation to place of birth. While there may be statistical differences in the distribution of characteristics such as say skin colour among communities which I am unaware of, you will find a reasonable representation of all physiognomies? in each community.

The ultimate realization of self driving will be successful, and will have profoundly positive impacts on society

This is clearly possible in principle. After all, fully autonomous vehicles can have much more capable sensor systems than any human driver, can process the input from those sensors faster, and can then apply any necessary adjustments to the vehicle's behaviour almost instantaneously, all without ever getting tired or distracted. No human driver will ever match that potential.

The problem I have with this whole argument, and thus the reason I'm not sure the moral/ethical arguments stand up either, is that we don't know how to reliably write excellent software yet.

The entire argument for autonomous driving rests on the premise that we will at some point in the usefully near future reach a situation where the cars drive themselves much better than we humans collectively do. But there is, to the best of my knowledge, no evidence so far that we as a society can actually create the necessary software yet.

Until we can, any autonomous vehicle control system will be at risk of life-threatening bugs. In particular, it will be at risk of widespread failures of the same type that could cause much more harm than any single human driver's failure could, whether caused by defects in the software alone or by a malicious actor exploiting a security vulnerability. That is a huge risk that is getting far too little attention so far IMHO.
