Yes, but humans are creatures of habit. Now that we are used to all of our food showing up to our house, I don't expect that many people, especially those that are past the 'lets go out with our friends 3 days a week' stage of their life will continue to order in more than they go out once restrictions lift around the country.
Then you risk being considered as though you explicitly denied it anyway - and the choice as to when and whether we move on is not so often yours to make alone. Do this sort of thing too often with the same people, and you are likely to get a reputation as untrustworthy - someone who might cover up a problem until it is discovered by others.

Your link and criticism are entirely inapt. The title was not using the dash for emphasis, and even if it were, it would have been inappropriate. The examples in the article you link are of a dash making a break in the chain of thought more emphatic. Dashes are not used to emphasize enclosed text itself.

We already know that, by design, macOS will report back to the mothership. If things are working 100% correctly, Apple will collect what programs you run and when you do so.

Linux won't report to the mothership by design. If things work 100% correctly, you don't have to worry about some company knowing what programs you run and when.
Yeah I should be clear I have never had problems with overeating myself so I am coming at the issue with an outwards viewpoint. I have been 6'7" and 190-200 pounds for all my adult life, and have cooked most all my own meals since I moved for university, so at least for being weight consistent I haven't had much trouble. I moreso have observed that snacking foods + sugary drinks + fast food leads to a partial negligence of the diet, we often eat too fast and eat hard-to-estimate caloric worth quantities to recognize in our gut we are full enough.
Might I suggest some research into Kant's categorical imperative, some time listening to your brain, and possibly the history of Joseph McCarthy?

Let's hypothetically assume that Trump was ahead in the counts right now. Would Biden concede? Hillary Clinton is on record as having said "under no circumstances" concede the election. Would Biden's team not be looking at their legal options to challenge the result? Would Biden supporters not be losing their minds on social media, news media, and in the streets?

This was a very partisian election, in which half the country was not going to be happy with the result. I don't see a smooth acceptance of the outcome regardless of how it comes out.
> There are significant military applications to our space program.

It's interesting looking at the military and space, since the military seems to be more objective focused than NASA. Early on (1960's), the military was planning on a manned station (MOL), but ended up going with automated satellites in the end because they made more sense. Likewise the Space Force believes it might eventually send up astronauts, but doesn't think that will happen for decades. They're interested in sending people up when it's useful to do so, not just sending them up for the sake of sending them up.

Do you really think they are committing fraudulent inducement when they explicitly say that they aren't when selling the service?

> There's plenty of value prop in pushing different ads to me if you know that I'm on vacation based on location metadata

Marginally, probably not much when they already know that from your cellphone location data, your browser location data, the credit card data that they buy, etc.

> or knowing that I buy new shoes and take pics of them every 2 months in order to push me shoe ads at that cadence.

Again, something they probably get a lot clearer a picture of from buying credit card transaction data than photos.
From what I understand the antigen test can give false negatives. So in his case he tested positive twice it would indicate he has it.
Couldn't it also be that criticisms are resisted because people literally remember the last 40 years of economic improvements in China, and attribute (whether reasonably or not) that improvement to the CCP? I'm not saying that's a good reason to fiercely resist criticism, but it's certainly an understandable emotional response.
Looks like I accidentally started a flame war here! Funtimes.

My answer to some common replies:

1) "But the [left/right] is much worse": you're sorta making my point. Even if the other "side" may be worse now, if you're honest with yourself, I'm sure you can see where your partisans have crossed some lines, too. And the whole point of this piece is authoritarianism and fascism grows slowly over time, so "We're slightly further down the fascism hill right now so we're better" isn't a heartening response

2) "This is 'Both sidesism'!!!" First of all, I don't claim there are good people on both sides, I claim there are bad people on both sides. Very bad, sycophantic people who see the worst in others, assume the worst motives, and are willing to stop at nothing, including murder, to achieve their ends. Yes, for many issues there is a "right" and a "wrong" and these could theoretically be discovered through empirical testing and observation. But we're not talking about individual issues here, we're talking about national / political identities and the complex social and tribal bonds that make people even choose "a side" in the first place.

3) "You have to speak out / choose a side, or are you morally complicit in evil" Don't entirely disagree. That said, extremism is polarizing and destructive of rationality and humane discourse, regardless of where it comes from. Just because we are all sort of forced to "pick a side" when the gravitational forces are so strong, that doesn't mean that the side we pick will be right all the time or even a force for moral good, just a temporary stopgap against moral evil. That doesn't mean you don't have a responsibility to identify evil and speak against it when you see it. It's just a lot harder for those people who see much evil amongst two large constituencies that see themselves as wholly Good, than it is for those people who are wholly convinced of their Good and the absolute Evil of the other side.

And although I don't claim to be either rational or in the middle, I do believe I am right about the creeping fascist tendencies present in the polar extremes of American politics -- and there's no better evidence of the truth of my comment that it is being downvoted and commented into oblivion by partisans on both sides :)
Google Photos with shared albums, works great for my family & friends.

It used to be impossible for everyone to get all the photos after a vacation / trip / event. Now we just create a shared album and everyone upload everything.

Edit: WhatsApp biggest flaw is the aggressive compression. It takes pictures down to an unacceptable qualify.
Linux operating systems don't spy on their users. This is false. Stop repeating misinformation.

The Ubuntu Amazon fiasco is, if anything, evidence of extreme resistance to this kind of thing. The Linux community rejected Canonical's opt-out ad partnership with Amazon collectively and almost unanimously. The program was relatively benign, but it went against ideals of both users and developers, and there have been no repeats.
I think it is an important reference.

Hari Seldon wasn't real. Psychohistory isn't real. I find the response to Turchin's work from the STEM and Humanities communities fascinating. STEM people drool. Here is this scientist who has systematized human civilization! Humanities people roll their eyes so hard they fall out of their head after encountering mountains of basic errors in Turchin's analysis.

His work is not good.
The broader topic is a debate about human rights that's actively being fought in elections, parliaments, and courts. The right to privacy and the right to repair, for example, and a nascent debate about the right to run whatever software you choose.

"Your computer isn't yours" is a powerful way to express the essence of those debates. Who has the right to do what they want with a computer, the company that built it or the person who owns it?

Software signing is admittedly a relatively minor battle in that war, but it's not completely separate from the broader issues.
From my point of view (currently mid 40s and undergoing my very first attempt at losing weight in my life), losing weight of course means consuming fewer calories than you burn. However, eating healthy foods is what makes that a less miserable experience. Eating foods that take a while to digest and sit in your stomach for a while making you feel full like whole grains, nuts, fresh fruit and vegetables, and enough protein to keep your muscle mass, will make it a lot more likely to lead to success than simply "eating less."
Religion works this way: you make a false statement, and punish anyone who does not agree with it. From there you can derive and enforce any other false statement (Principle of Explosion). People in power routinely used this mechanism to make false statements allowing them to take what they want at the expense of others.
> Saying a voting block was "tricked" or "bought" ignores millions of CA residents who read the law and formed their own conclusions.

This isn't a fair characterization of how people cast their ballots. They see the ad and it has some non-zero effect. If running ads was ineffective in swaying public opinion, there wouldn't have been a $200m persuasion campaign.
It's exploitable, sure, same as any shared ideology (twist it to your purposes, burn the heretics). But unlike ideologies that don't purport to be objective from humanity, religion carries the seed of its own undoing. Much like Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church door, an abuse of the ideal can be countered by the ideal. I can't think of any non-religious ideology that has done that; countering those abusive ideologies requires ascribing to a different ideology. Nazism didn't defeat or replace Nazism, but Christianity has defeated Christianity before.

But that said, I agree that someone saying "God is on my side" is inherently problematic in a different way than just "I have the most power to enforce my will". Of course, I don't see that as a value judgement on the existence of religion; after all, regardless of my, or society's, beliefs, the power behind the individual is still there, or not, regardless of their claim of God's support.

I...uh...just remembered somewhere I'm supposed to be...
Lmao, Dang must not be awake, because this is far more of a "political flame-bait' thread than basically any other I've seen on this website in quite some time.
Yeah 9/11 definitely enhanced the surveillance state which is deeply unfortunate, but we had security screening for planes long before we had 9/11, and it wasn't just 9/11 that made the experience miserable, it was the 10 follow on attacks targeting different vulns in the screening process (liquids, shoes, blah blah).

Actually there was no attack involving liquids. There was "chatter" indicating that someone might be thinking of combining liquids to make a bomb. We freaked and instituted the rule. Then discovered that it was a false alarm.

But, having alerted everyone that terrorists could try to make a bomb that way, we now have the liquids rule. (Though the arbitrariness of 3 ounces is made clear by the rule that now lets 12 ounce bottles of hand sanitizer through...)

The security measures need to be decently strong because we vehemently refuse to employ the more effective authoritarian technique of flagging passengers based on history and demographics like they do in places like Israel (eg, simply flag anyone with a higher probability of being a muslim because most attacks were performed by muslims). We are actually resisting the aggressive response in this case.

There are two issues at play here.

The first is that for political reasons, we don't want to do enhanced checks against the actual biggest danger - Saudi Arabia. (Half the 9/11 bombers were from there.)

Second, targeting on the basis of religion poses some major Constitutional problems in the USA. And religious affiliation is not information that we can rely on having about people coming from elsewhere in the world.

And third, the supply of potential terrorists is sufficiently large and Al Qaeda sufficiently well-organized that they could simply choose terrorists who don't appear to fit whatever our screening criteria happened to be. Israel doesn't have that problem because there aren't a supply of people from around the world who are willing to die for the Palestinian cause. However we had a British guy carrying a bomb in his shoe, a Russian (well actually Chechen) who set off a bomb in Boston, a white American shooting up an army base in Texas, and a Nigerian who carried a bomb in his underwear.

This has nothing to do with terrorism or 9/11.

To the contrary. I lived in New York when 9/11 happened. A ton of office buildings went from no security guard to security guards. Other office buildings that I later worked in in Los Angeles made the same shift at about the same time.

The timing wasn't a coincidence.

Thank you for confirming that; it wasn't clear to me.
Is the "authoritarian" part required? Two examples being Boeing or Airbus.
I'm reminded of the time Bill Maher got cancelled for saying of the 9/11 terrorists "whatever else they are, they're definitely not cowards".

> In either case driving someone is a service you provide to Uber customers.

No. Look at https://arcade.city. Their drivers are independent business operators, because they own the relationship with the riders. Uber drivers not only don't own the relationship with riders, but they're forbidden from owning it, which is what makes them employees. It's literally against the terms of service for Uber drivers to act as independent business owners, despite the expensive PR campaigns they run for regulators and the general public.

The CEO of Uber was literally fired for getting caught on camera berating an employee who was complaining that Travis had lowered the amount of money he was earning after the employee had taken out a huge car loan. If this driver wasn't an employee, he would have been allowed to set his own prices, so that conversation never could have even happened.
I don't have strong feelings about this article except for the fact that it once again uses REST to mean "JSON over HTTP" when, in fact, REST requires HATEOAS and the vast majority of APIs that claim to be RESTful aren't, and almost certainly shouldn't be, since they aren't using a hypermedia/hypertext.

https://intercoolerjs.org/2016/01/18/rescuing-rest.html

https://intercoolerjs.org/2016/02/17/api-churn-vs-security.h...

The API community made a mistake in appropriating the terms and concepts from REST (a description of the original web architecture) and we've been unwinding that mistake for almost two decades now, but the momentum of language is amazing...
Does this article have a point? It talks about several attempts to save the seas, some of which it claims were ill-conceived but seems to lack a central thesis.

He talks about instant antigen tests, not PCR. He is waiting for results of PCR test right now.
Mostly I'm reflecting on how I had understood this document previously. I'd read portions before 2016, and I'm now thinking it was not quite precise enough. Maybe I'd revise your statement like this:

Authoritarianism rises gradually and relies on [a critical mass of] people looking away from it, unable to confront inconvenient truths.

The story of Germany paints a picture where no one speaks up. Yet, as we've seen it can still happen with less than universal complicity. As a result I think the lesson shifts.
Hahaha, good correction. All that does is reduce my already low amounts of sympathy for Uber
probably the most underrated danger of the pandemic, the degree to which it crowds out and diminishes successes in fighting countless of other diseases and systemic issues. Food security, health and safety of probably hundreds of millions in the developing world is threatened and year long progress seems to be undone because everyone has to deal with covid 24/7. Damage is probably immeasurable.
I think you may be misreading that FAQ page, it mentions sidechain as the reason for using one thread for "dependant" tracks.

Sidechain is not mere grouping/routing like the chain PaulDavis described with ASCII art (different from Sends too), with sidechain the plugin needs the audio from the other track for actual DSP processing, that's why sidechained tracks become a single thread "dependant" signal flow.

That page also mentions Live can use one thread per Chain if needed (for non Live-users, Chains are internal routings inside one single track), so it clearly states Live can use more than one core for one single Track.

Also, plugins like u-HE's use multicore just fine for a single instance, if you disable their own multicore handling (which conflicts with Live's multicore handling).

For Live's own devices, I'm pretty sure multicore works just fine, just tested again with Groups and Sends.

Don't know what problem you have, but it is not simply Live's multicore handling, it is some specific scenario you hit upon.

You led with "my experiments with profile-guided optimization have been thus far disappointing". My point is that in many cases people get 15% improvements. Do you consider that a disappointing result? Are you disregarding other people's results? or are you disappointed that they don't apply in your specific situations? I originally gave you the benefit of the doubt by thinking it was the last of these, and speculated about how your situation differs. Now I don't know what you want, except to show off how smart you are vs how poor a reader I am, regardless of accuracy. I'm not interested. Bye.

Producing text more cheaply is a poor metric for technological advancement. Going to the basics of say energy production, heat engines are already close to theoretical limitations. We already have 60+% efficient power plant so nothing can double future efficiency, and even in theory hitting 100% is never going to happen. The world has better technology and more infrastructure than 10 years ago, but it’s almost entirely evolutionary not revolutionary. Even the tantalizing self driving cars in the near future come with a massive downside of congestion from cars driving without people in them.

As to nanotechnology, we already design molecules to interface with biology via synthetic drugs, so essentially biological nanotechnology is going to be about creating larger structures not smaller ones.
I mean do you see China becoming the next world power? I do myself, though not nearly as long as a reign as America had, I foresee a 15 year thereabout hold from China until the country falls into the typical issues that the Western world has faced + Japan faced since the 90's.
This has nothing to do with the problem we're discussing.
Since the world is turning diabetic and on track to bankrupt the healthcare system in a decade or two, it helps to recognize a few facts about "diabetes". First, realize that "prediabetic"/"diabetic" is just a stupid number in A1c or glucose tolerance where recommended care is to start giving you drugs. It doesn't mean the glucose level in your blood isn't destroying your body before you reach that level. Metabolic syndrome is a range of insulin resistance, and the sooner you reverse it, the better. Don't wait for some doctor to tell you after two or three decades of slowly increasing insulin resistance that, "Now, we will do something." There is growing evidence that Alzheimer's should be renamed Type 3 diabetes, and some questions about Parkinson's being Type 4 diabetes. The brain is specially sensitive to excess glucose, and special sets of cells are more sensitive than other neurons (like in Parkinson's).

So how to measure insulin resistance? The gold standards is a continuous glucose monitor ($500). Then the glucose tolerance test (not the overnight fast), which takes hours and involves ingesting slugs of glucose and sampling blood over time. Ideally we would directly measure insulin in the blood, not glucose, but that is much harder so far.

One new test that holds out the hope of predicting diabetes years or even decades down the road is the LabCorp NMR LipoProfile with Graph[0][1]. Not yet FDA approved for diagnosis, this cheap test ($40 Medicare reimbursement) calculates an insulin resistance score that can be tracked year by year. I first learned of this test in an article in Managed Care Magazine, which seems to have gone out of business, leaving only a PubMed blurb pointing to it[2].
I was interested enough in my numbers that I paid for my own test, about $90 after Black Friday discount, in November 2018 at WalkInLab[3].

Is "unified" the same thing as "shared" outlined here?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_graphics_memory

I'm curious if the same drawback mentioned for shared applies to unified

> A side effect of this is that when some RAM is allocated for graphics, it becomes effectively unavailable for anything else, so an example computer with 512 MiB RAM set up with 64 MiB graphics RAM will appear to the operating system and user to only have 448 MiB RAM installed.
