So I'm saying we shouldn't fully trust in the areas of science that are likely to be wrong, especially those affected by finding, bias or groupthink. Climate change is one of those areas. The climate has been changing since the Creation of the world. God has promised that He will give us seasons and the ability to plant and reap for as long as the earth remains. (Genesis 8:22). That doesn't mean the climate won't change, maybe it will be bad for some parts of the world and good for others. But I do know we have God's promise for seasons and He has kept that promise every year for over 4300 years. He's not going to break His promise. I'm also not saying we shouldn't be good stewards of earth. We need to rule over it and take care of it. But we don't need to be worried about this planet becoming uninhabitable because of climate change, man made or natural.

Humananity is not defined by the ability to think. Even before the first thought the human embryo is not just a collection of cells. It's a distinct organism. It is dependent on the mother but those cells are independent in the sense that it directs itself on how to form. If you could remove an embryo from the womb and give it a good environment and nutrients it would form just the same. The unborn baby isn't slowly assembled out of parts to make a whole, the embryo is already functioning, it's a distinct human life. It is already human. If you define humanity by thought would you say a 3 year old is less human than a 10 year because their thoughts are less complex? What about when you're sleeping, are you less human when you're unconscious? Humanity is also not defined by it's viability. Is a wounded soldier who will die without life support all of a sudden less human or less valuable because his life depends on an outside source?

The embryo is a distinct human being that can direct it's own formation. It is separate from the mother's cells. And that is why it is a human life.
"defund the police" means "defund the police", it is a clear and unambiguous sentence. If you mean "let the police do their job", don't run on "defund the police". It's not that people didn't look close enough at the slogans (and by the way we have seen many cities actually defund their police depts so it doesn't help the idea that the slogan means anything else).

I don't think that Biden himself holds leftist views but he also did nothing to distance himself from this fringe, and if he is not neutralised by a republican senate, I think there is a legitimate concern that he will be held hostage by the left wing of the democratic party and apply many of those policies (not the least because Kamala Harris would if he steps down for health reasons).

yes, certainly he did. He also refused to.

He takes both sides of lots of issues. You could make a page-a-day calendar out of quotes where he has taken opposite sides on an issue.

Sure, later he'll disavow us, but I got the message. wink wink." And then the people who oppose white nationalism can say "see, he disavowed it, so that clarifies everything - nothing he said before meant what it sounded like."

That's not how the parent is interpreting that statement; their interpretation of,

> If p and q share approximately half of their upper bits

That, of the upper bits, are approximately half are the same? Since the combinations of two corresponding bits in p & q are 00, 01, 10, and 11, and, if they're chosen uniformly, one would expect about half to be the same.

I suspect that your interpretation is what the article wants to say, but I think that the parent's interpretation is reasonable given how it was written.
A lot of replies are missing the point.

It's not "apps integrate better with each other".

It is "there are no apps".

So what would Adobe sell, if not the "Photoshop app"? It would sell the Photoshop "menu of filters", the "selector toolbox", the "color histogram view" and such. But the workspace where you see the image and apply the selectors or filters would be outside Photoshop itself. It would be a standard part of the system, where the image could come from and go into another organizing system (possibly provided by another vendor). You could mix organizing systems, sharing/versioning systems and filters/selectors/menus/views from various vendors, commercial or free or open source.

This would apply not just to images, but to all kinds of media - movies, documents, including "code".
Canada feels closer to what your parent described than to what I see in the US, for one. There are of course those at the extremes who are very partisan. Although most of those identify more with US politics than Canadian it seems. But for the vast majority it's much less of an issue than it is in the US. For one thing, most people are not members of one of our federal political parties. Local politicians don't even align with federal parties, nor do provincial ones in all cases. Many people will shift their vote between ideologically similar parties, especially the Liberals and NDP.

Basically, for myself and most people I know, we vote for the party whose platform most closely matches our own priorities and beliefs, but it's not part of our identities in the same way. The parties themselves are also far less polarized than in the US. And because it's a multi-party system, you can have minority government that actually functions by garnering support of opposition parties. (We also effectively don't have multiple veto points though, so generally the governing party is able to govern; I think that also helps keep things from getting overheated.) Of course, the system isn't perfect. For instance by virtue of being both multi-party and first past the post, the winning party usually has the vote of a minority of the population, and still generally holds a majority of seats in parliament. But I've really come to appreciate it in comparison over the past few years.
Back in university I learned the in and outs of RSA, and to be honest, it seemed simple, understandable, and frankly, quite solid. It absolutely depends that p and q are chosen at random, but besides that, should be basically uncrackable.

Please let me know if I am wrong (outside of a quantum computing breakthrough).

edit: I understand that p and q need to be large primes. But there are a gargantuan number of large primes. AFAIK, if 52 cards in a deck shuffled randomly outnumbers in possibilities than the number of atoms in the universe, than surely RSA beats that by many many orders of magnitude in terms of computational complexity even at 1024 key length?

> Landed within the confidence interval? Are you kidding? CI is generally 2-4 points in these election polls.

The models and their data are public. The 538 model predicted an 80%CI of electoral votes for Biden as: 267-419, with the CI centered around 348.49 EVs. That means that Biden had an 80% chance of landing in the above confidence interval. Things seem to be shaking out to Biden winning with 297 EVs. Notice that this falls squarely within the CI of the model, but much further from the median of the CI than expected.

So yes, the results fell within the CI.

Drilling into Florida specifically (simply because I've been playing around with Florida's data), the 538 model predicts an 80%CI of Biden winning 47.55%-54.19% of the vote. Biden lost Florida, and received 47.8% of the vote. Again, note that this is on the left side of this CI but still within it. The 538 model was correct, the actual results just resided in its left tail.
Over a month ago, I had the idea to build a malicious website detector without using any blacklisting or whitelisting technology.

There have been many times in the past where I warn people of a phishing website - on Twitter or just through IM - but that effort was not causing a high impact as I imagined. It was too late to warned them about a new phishing threat most of the time. Threat actors are evolving in a rapid phase. As a cybersecurity professional, I need to warn people whom I can reach about cyber threats.

So I built VIZZAG. I researched/coded/designed from 8 PM -> 11 PM on Weekdays after office hours and 9 AM -> 11 PM on Weekends. There are still tons of features missing (I'm working on Chrome extension next!) but, I think it's reached that - buzzword alert! - MVP stage where I want to see if anyone's going to use the darn thing.
It's free forever for personal use, and I will introduce paid API plans for commercial use.

Here's an example VIZZAG link: https://vizzag.com/?scan=https://example.com - I created an application which scans a website in real-time using expert and AI-driven detection algorithms to detect if the website is malicious.

I think it has some potential. What do you guys think?
> Not a single republican voted for the bill. I think that probably removes any intelligent reference you could make to Romneycare, which was bipartisan and for a single state.

McConnell threatened to filibuster due to the inclusion of the individual mandate which was in Romneycare (and still exists today in the form of a tax[0]). This was part of McConnell's strategy to prevent any democrat from doing anything, even things that have republican or popular support, even among republicans.

For example, while holding the majority, he prevents bills, which would pass on a floor vote, from getting that vote.

> It was Pelosi. Her position was my bill or nothing.

IDK, it sounds like she found a deal with the President, and McConnell refused it. I'd also expect that, like I mentioned above, the relief bill the house passed would pass a floor vote in the senate, which is why McConnell would refuse to bring it to a vote. If anything, it sounds like he's the one saying its his bill or nothing. Notably, you ignore the important point that McConnell also doesn't want relief to take effect until next year. Yes McConnell claims to want relief, he also claims to want to repeal the ACA. He claims a lot of things for political reasons that he doesn't actually want.

Your facts are wrong:

- humans can spread viruses to each other just by breathing,

-a piece of cloth won't stop the aerosol particles you exhale! Even a mask won't stop them.

Furthermore there is no good experimental evidence that masks work for anything other than surgery (for which they were intended, designed and tested).

What DOES work? Distancing, e.g., keeping away from each other.

Distancing is about disease; masks are an exercise in political theatre and political control.

Do you think you could name some of these topics you're thinking of? 70% seems like a substantial overestimate. As a back-of-the-envelope estimate, using budget as a proxy for "regulation and resource distribution", ~70% of government spending went to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Defense. You've called out national defense as something that should remain at the Federal level. Social Security spending consists literally of distributing money to individuals. Medicare and Medicaid in a roundabout way are essentially the same, and America's poor and elderly are certainly not uniformly distributed among the states. This leaves only a maximum of 30% of resource allocation that could even potentially be pushed back to the states.

It's the old qualitative vs quantitative debate.

County seats make decisions for cities. State makes decisions for counties. For now at least, I think state is independent to an extent from the center.

Example: Alameda county decides if city of Hayward should build more units than the denizens of Hayward itself. This could be an example of regional governance.

Do we need more decentralization and local governance rather than regional governance?
Most of these things boil down to a few very simple rules (because I rarely run into these problems and I certainly don't have more than a few simple rules).

1. If your pattern contains variable expansion wrap it in double quotes (but watch out for shell variable expansion characters like '$`')

2. Else wrap your search string in single quotes.

3. If you're gonna do any sort of regex at all just use the '-E' flag so it behaves like a proper regex, and learn how to do basic regex.

4. Know your shell. Some of these gotchas come from the way the shell interprets the command. Again, most shell gotchas boil down to a few basic rules too (eg the single or double quote thing). For example, in bash I always surround variables in curly braces: ${THIS}. It avoids accidental bash variable expansion, or confusion about the precise name of the variable when it is concatenated with other strings in the pattern.

One trick I like is how to use grep as a highlighter.

grep --color -E '(^|My text)'

This matches every line because of the ^ but has nothing to color except your string (since the start of line character is not visible)

Also, the -A and -B flags are useful for grabbing lines after/before the pattern. And while -C doesn't make as much sense as those, its meaning logically follows A and B: grab the lines before and after.

Lastly, if you want to search a gigantic directory structure for files containing an expression, but do not want to hit every single file (eg: restrict it to '.c' files), you can use this:

find /path/to/dir -name ".c" -exec grep -H "pattern {} \;

The -H forces grep to show the file name. This gets activated by default when you grep multiple files, but find command executes a separate grep on each individual file, so you lose the filename. -H explicitly adds it.

Once you the -H parameter, it's easy to remember that -h turns filename off*. For example, to make a playlist containing all Bob Marley songs that are used in other .m3u playlists:

grep -r -h "Bob Marley" /home/user/My Music/playlists" > marley.m3u

This simple approach avoids having to pipe the output into another command like sed or awk to strip away the path, which may not be as simple as it sounds because the file paths may contain spaces and all sorts of other junk.
No surprise you've been upvoted so much. Yours is a truly remarkable comment, and observation.

I'd humbly add that at least to my eyes, most of the time the discussions on disagreements between two political parties are simply ineffective at trying to solve the disagreement, and rather irrational or badly arranged. In other words: most political discourse you hear these days seems useless.

> We can disagree on politics

The problem here is that treating politics as 'just politics' is the realm of people privileged enough that they have never directly suffered because of those politics.

Transgender rights, for example, are never 'just politics' for me: they are a basic moral issue that deeply affects the life of one of my close friends.
> Had the Democrats put up anyone who was less divisive than Hillary Clinton then we are not where we are today.

Fun fact I recently learned, but a 2013 Quinnipiac University poll found Hillary Clinton to be the most popular US politician with 61% approval.

That's operationally the same thing.

Obviously they can't be perfectly neutral, but that should be the goal and the standards by which they're measured.

Certainly not. I'm just saying that sales is probably a bigger factor than you think. I'm going to assume that you're an engineer. Tech alone doesn't make a business successful. More so than not it makes a business fail. I agree that the statement "Everything about a startup is sales" is exaggerated. Although, I will say that good sales outweighs good tech the majority of the time. It baffles me that people don't recognize that.
