1. Her last name is Ocasio-Cortez.

2. Progressivism barely means anything. You can characterize virtually anyone who even just says anything positive about social change as progressive. Better to characterize her as a social democrat or democratic socialist, depending on your impression.

3. "Just the News" is an incredible source to list. A right-wing rag founded by the former editor-in-chief of The Washington Times. Might as well just refer to the actual tweets: https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1324807776510595078. They are about the typical denialism that follows reactionaries that did, you know, horrible things and not allowing their images to be blindly rehabilitated as public servants. Emphasis on remembering the actions of public servants, not whether someone will simply be denied employment.

4. Jennifer Rubin is a never-Trump conservative turned American establishment "centrist" (which is still a right wing position).
Yes. He's mentioning things in essentially the same terms and narrative order as the book.
Yep, same!

010 Editor is one of the few commercial tools that I just have to have a license for - I don't use it to make a living, but I've participated in some CTFs and challenges, and just yesterday I noticed that a WAV file had metadata which I didn't know was a thing, so I just opened it in 010 Editor with the WAV template and I could see how the metadata was stored, and all other fields!
Maybe I'm misreading the article (or your post), but isn't that first article saying exactly the opposite?

> When someone is infected with a virus they’ve seen before, the immune system tends to pump out antibodies created during the first infection. That immune memory normally helps fight off secondary infections faster, but that memory can occasionally backfire if the virus has mutated in the right way to evade those original antibodies – as happened with last year’s flu.

i.e. youth exposure to a particular 70s/80s strain of the flu virus actually worsened the immune response in 2014?
Greek here. The only way we use "sorry" is "I have done something to hurt you and I apologize in earnest".

For lighter things, like bumping into you, we might say "sorry" (as in, the English word), which sounds more casual and not as severe.
Also remember that Epsteins best buddy/procurer was the daughter of a man who was suspected to be a well connected spy and who had high ranking Israeli intelligence officials at his funeral:

So what you are saying is there is absolutely no reason to use any data service hosted in Australia or to trust any tech hardware they produce
The memory bandwith, amount of shader units, TMUs, fill rate, etc is different (slower) on the MX350. While they are surely the same archiecture, the MX350 is lower tier than the 1050.

And in this case, it'd make for a larger difference between Apples GPU and the nvidia. But then again, the M1 is a mobile SoC and the 1050 is a desktop GPU. So we shouldn't even be comparing them to being with.

Agreed, also the notorious Hearst yellow journalism, which generated spectacular wealth and influence.
I read that page through, and didn't find it particularly compelling. Do you have anything that isn't 5 years old, and that doesn't try to talk around the issue by redefining terms?

What I mean is that when I think of when I would say "the ocean is dying," I'm referring to things like declining fish populations, coral reefs dying off, and the oceans themselves getting warmer and more acidic.

These things are undoubtedly happening. We have measured them, and we are causing it. Your link seems to say something like "the ocean isn't dying, because we still can do something about it." I'm not particularly concerned with this "ocean health index" they mention. I am not concerned with what we "can" do; I'm only concerned with what we are and will be doing. And, at this rate, what we are doing is not enough.

Economic freedom is when you protect the interests of capital and the more you protect those interests the more economically free you are, regardless of homelessness, hunger, access to healthcare, or general necessity of working under poor conditions to have an acceptable life.
China was actually quite wealthy under the Qing Dynasty, and fluctuated between 10% and 35% of global GDP.

In 1949, when the PRC was formed, they represented 9.5% of the global economy. In 1990, after 41 years of Communist Party rule, China was 1.59% of the global economy.

You cannot blame that on opium or the west, that is the result of Communist policies like the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward, to say nothing of the ruthless control and censorship of information.

> It seems pretty clear that the play here runs "Look here's our entry level

Not quite. The play here is, "Look, here is our 98% of sales laptop". That it's entry level is only an incidental factor. 98% of sales volume is at this price point, and so they get the maximum bang for their buck, the maximum impact, by attacking that one first. Not just because it's the slowest or entriest.

Had they started at the fastest possible one, sure it would have grabbed some great headlines. But wouldn't have had the same sales impact. (And it's icing that the slowest part is probably easiest to engineer.)
Yeah that’s the one. Love that it’s not a half baked vim emulation.

> I'm sure you understand the performance differences between a 10W part with integrated graphics designed for a fanless laptop and a desktop part with active cooling and discrete graphics.

The problem here is that the obvious competition is Zen 3, but AMD has released the desktop part and not the laptop part while Apple has released the laptop part and not the desktop part. (Technically the Mini is a desktop, but you know what I mean.)

However, the extra TDP has minimal effect on single thread performance because a single thread won't use the whole desktop TDP. Compare the laptop vs. desktop Zen 2 APUs:

https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2633?vs=2635

Around 5% apart on single thread due to slightly higher boost clock, sometimes not even that. Much larger differences in the multi-threaded tests because that's where the higher TDP gets you a much higher base clock.

So comparing the single thread performance to desktop parts isn't that unreasonable. The real problem is that we don't have any real-world benchmarks yet, just synthetic dreck like geekbench.
Nobody is “faulting” Apple. They tend to avoid saying things for weird PR reasons.

In this case, they make impressive sounding, but almost completely meaningless assertions about performance. If anything, they are underselling an impressive achievement.

Intel does provide performance ranges in thermally constrained packages that are meaningful.
Incentives: The Forces That Shape Behavior
How long does it take to go to a restaurant and pick up the food yourself? 10 minutes each way at most + 5 minute wait seems the maximum reasonable estimate to me
"Sometimes the solution to a behavior problem is simply to revisit incentives and make sure they align with the desired goal." -- Use this post by Shane Parrish (his podcast is one of my favorites) to think about the type of incentives are being used in your organization, and which reinforcement schedules are applied. One must-have element in a working place is to add a clear and explicit definition (in writing!) of roles and responsibilities. People shouldn't try to guess what is considered a desired behavior.
Not all annual improvements are equal. The current M1 laptops have some real disadvantages- old industrial design, only two Thunderbolt ports, limited RAM, and limited software support for many apps. There are real compromises to switching to an M1 device as your main machine right now (unless you also have a separate x86 device).

MacBooks are due for a new industrial design, so it makes sense to wait. If you absolutely need a new computer, that's a tricky place to be right now.

Are you sure that weird byte at the begining is not a Unicode BOM (Byte-Order-Mark)? I've seen a few programs do that (or expect it) and other programs ignore it or go crazy on it.
Perhaps the weird byte(s?) were a BOM?

As I responded to someone else :

So while it is accurate to say that China's economy did poorly in the 19th and early 20th century, it is also true to say that the CPC proceeded to drive the nation into abject poverty.
Regarding war crimes, here's a friendly reminder that they're almost exclusively addressed against black Africans despite the many war crimes committed by others - and usually those with far more global power. In fact, the United States has spread the logic that if their members or those of their allies were ever brought before such a court, they would invade the Hague and retrieve them (i.e., do another war crime).
> Did you act on the basis of circumstances you wish were the case rather than the circumstances that are in fact the case?

This BTW is one of the most common source of mistakes I encounter. When offered choice between A and B, people routinely evaluate A in some ideal situation X which is not real, decide that A does not match this situation very well, and discard it, choosing B - while failing to notice that in real situation B is even further from achieving the desired outcome.

Example: we consider building option A and B for a feature of the product, and we know users like feature B much better, so we don't choose option A, even though we have neither resources not budget to actually implement B properly. As a result, we get half-implemented broken B instead of somewhat-less-liked but working A, and the users end up hating the whole thing. Seen it so many times.
It's always seemed odd to me that a language with significant whitespace like Python became so popular, because human languages naturally have separators like semicolons and periods between sentences; otherwise, it all looks like one big run-on sentence. I admittedly work a lot in C and C-derived languages, and while reading I mostly disregard whitespace (as the compiler also does), so the latter is what code in other languages without statement separators/terminators looks like.
I thought there was a decently-sized left contingent that could at least push back on them.

Alas.
Iceland, being a tiny island nation with only some 300k speakers of Icelandic, goes to rather extreme lengths to "preserve" the language from foreign influences, including names.

They don't need to be rich or powerful - they just need to have something to lose or be believers in the 'it's for national security'. You don't need to ask the guards to fall asleep. You just need to ensure the doziest guards are put on the schedule.

Why do it in the prison?

A controlled environment where they have access to the cameras and all recording devices, not to mention all technology(access logs etc.) as well as no members of the public being around.

Out in public, you run a massive risk of some random noticing something/some camera inadvertently recording something.(or some random/some camera noticing/capturing something from the time leading up to it).

It's an avoidable mess.

Plus, a death in jail - people can rationalise it away - for the exact same reasons I listed above - 'oh, it's a controlled environment - $authorities control who goes in and out - they're not going let a random person walk around'

Reading a book on a screen is basically the same as reading a physical book. There is no reason one would cause depression while the other wouldn't, unless it is due to the physical screen which is a problem that can be fixed. I've never seen a study saying that reading books causes depression, so it shouldn't.
Ask HN: What RSS feeds do you follow?
Yes! The 010 Editor's templating language is a nearly unique (in my experience) hybrid between C-like declarations and imperative flow that's exactly what I want for parsing arbitrary binary files.

The template executes like a script (with conditionals and looping) and a line like "int32 myNum;" is actually just syntactic sugar for "read 4 bytes from the current file pointer and label it myNum." Their example probably does a better job explaining it than I can:

struct FILE {
struct HEADER {
char type[4];
int version;
ushort numRecords;
} header <bgcolor=cLtGray>;

struct RECORD {
int employeeId;
char name[40];
float salary;
if( file.header.version > 1 )
int numChildren;
if( file.header.version > 2 )
time_t birthDate;
} record[ file.header.numRecords ];

} file;

Fair points - if you watch interviews by the creator, it’s pretty amazing to hear what they have coming.

What is wrong with the public raising its expectations on public figures, companies, politicians, etc? This is what I read every time someone refers to the "internet mob". It's a bunch of normal people being loud on the internet over a perceived injustice with nothing particularly toxic compared to the injustices themselves or the way speech is curtailed in other contexts (you can't be frank with your boss most of the time, e.g.).

That's not true, Python has semicolons and they're invaluable for composing `-c` command line scripts in a whitespace sensitive language
Did you really get paid much better? You're only as much as you save. Standardizing expenses to ensure a fair comparison usually surprises many.

Save to what? A bank account? Rather, let's say it's to buy some of the S&P 500 fund. Where's the savings leading? What's the growth rate? How much sooner does the extra dollars pull it into view?

For some it's not relevant, as they weren't saving (much) in the first place.
But I thought that was the whole point of Uber, to replace their workers with AI right? I'm guessing they now are just going to attempt to partner with one of the winners of the self-driven-horse-race, but I'm thinking that if you are the winner of the self-driving-horse-race you don't need uber, if you can build self driving cars/software you can probably clone Ubers functionality and do your own app.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It is absolutely the case that COVID should make us think very hard about how lucky we got this time. There's no reason to think this couldn't have happened with a virus 10 or 100x as deadly.

The latest news on that debugger is from a reply to an issue [0] on June 17th, 2020:

>As @ryanmkurtz mentioned work is continuing on the debugger, it is a large job and there have been many issues that have come up, not the least of which is COVID. We would really like to give you a timeline, but I don't want to promise anything and not deliver in a timely manner. Dynamic analysis and easy integration of dynamic information is important to the Ghidra community as is evidenced in the thread.

>IMHO, I would not hesitate to learn/use any tool, as the knowledge gained can always be ported to another tool. Time spent learning other debuggers, such as gdb or windbg, will not be wasted as the new Ghidra based debugger will be integrated with existing debuggers or have considerable overlap with their command sets and functionality. That said, if another tool fits your needs, use it. There are many great things about each RE tool and reasons to use or not use each.

>Rest assured we are diligently working on the debugger and we think it will be worth the wait. We'll share information on features and release when we have solid timelines.

>Thanks for using Ghidra in whatever way fits your work. Feel free to request features/improvements you see lacking and we and the community will try to address them.

>We'll close the issue for now.

--------------------------

Also from the What's New 9.2 release notes:

>Dynamic Analysis Framework - Debugger

>The debugger is very much still in progress. You may have seen some commits, in the Ghidra GitHub master branch, to get in sync with the debugger. Stay tuned for more on the Dynamic Analysis Framework soon after the 9.2 release.

The other way of looking at things is that, prior to neoliberalism, one full-time middle class income could pay for a house and support a family of four.

After neoliberalism, getting a house and two kids takes two working adults, and often jobs that involve much more than 40 hours a week. The situation for millennials and younger is even worse, as most of them have been frozen out of the housing market in regions where there are good jobs.

We all have cell phones now, but are we really better off if we (collectively) have so little time outside of work that we (collectively) don't get to see our kids grow up anymore, or if we can't afford houses anymore?

The other, other, thing to look at is that household wages have stagnated since the 1980s in comparison to GDP (see eg: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=bOfK) while unavoidable costs (e.g. housing, education, healthcare, communications) have exploded. There are lots more fancy toys available now than in the 1980s, but the median person has a smaller percentage of discretionary income to spend on them. I'm not convinced that taking away choice is a net positive.

Purchase Order: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchase_order

More important than the PO form is the entire rest of the corporate purchasing process it entails. You send them a quote, they try haggle you down, they might make their internal team send the bid out to multiple vendors for quotes and try to play you all off against each other (and how well you meet the requirements for the actual end user is not a a part of this process, just their checklist which is three degrees removed) they decide what quantities they want to buy, you confirm the price, send an invoice, they'll pay net 30 or net 90 or whatever their purchasing department decides via whatever payment method their department decides and you'll do it because with the bulk order amount and the markup you'll decide is justified for this hassle, the money is too much to refuse.
