OK, following up on my last comment - pyscript is teh way to go. One can import anything and the functions are very light, decorated etc.

It looks like a very good solution for more complicated automation (and for simple ones as well, it is just two lines)
I don’t think it’s fair to chalk it up to “unwillingness to think things through”, though, and that’s my point. RMS doesn’t seem to me to fully appreciate the emotional landlines in some of the subjects he discusses. When you’re talking about software licensing there’s some wiggle room, but when the subject at hand is pedophilia, successful communication requires a degree of tact and nuance that I’ve not often seen him use.

If you say something that 1% of the audience completely misunderstands, so be it. There’s always going to be some contrarians; haters gotta hate. But if the majority of the people have a different interpretation than you meant, then maybe the problem is in how you said it.
> Unless the people is willingly supporting corruption, a corrupt state cannot be democratic, by construction.

There is nothing about democracy or its construction that precludes corruption. You literally just made up nonsense.

> You're just looking for a fight.

No. I believe you are projecting.

> Go for a fresh air walk outside instead.

Go read about the solomon islands. This issue is about corruption in solomon islands - a democracy. Or go crack open a book and learn about democracy and its history. Why everyone from the ancient greeks, who gave us democracy, and the founding fathers, who gave us modern democracy, all distrusted democracy.

As a matter of fact, democracies are by nature corrupt ( tyranny of the majority ) and that's why most democracies have measures to product the citizens from democracy. Rather than regurgitating nonsense you've seen on tv or the news, learn about democracies or take a moment to think about it.
really interesting suggestion, I like it

what do you think would be good markers of a bad video? other than the obvious (clickbait terms, repetitive/generic titles), I'm not sure what could work. any suggestions?
Why is this needed? Genuinely curious.
I think we actually could do it today. The major issue is we couldn't do it without some major costs (It wouldn't be cheap or free).

What we'd have to change is the way society consumes energy. Right now, we operate under the paradigm of "I request energy, the grid ramps up and down to fill demand".

Instead, we could to switch over to "I ask the grid if capacity is available and use energy when it is".

That would require the ability for the grid to say "no" and for industries to respond to "nos". Nothing terribly hard about that with current data connections.

Easiest way to set that up is with energy bidding. When production is high and demand is low, price goes down. When production is low and demand is high, price goes up. Some applications could even chose to just ignore it and always take (However, everyone could not do that).

What would be the consequence of such a system? That'd mean things like manufacturing would have to have some ramping capabilities. Homes might have to tolerate temps shifting higher or lower than is comfortable. Goods might need to be transported at a much slower pace (Trans oceanic shipping, in particular, would need to be completely changed). And some industries would probably die all together with current tech (such as the airline and cruise industry).

The next question is what do we consider as using fossil fuels? For example, I wouldn't call burning wood a fossil fuel (even though it releases CO2 into the atmosphere) nor would I consider turning vegetable oil into plastic as using a fossil fuel. Both could be done today to keep the same amount of products, but would significantly change the cost characteristics of such things. Plastics would suddenly become a lot more expensive, for example.

Steel production might go down, but would not be eliminated.

Concrete would be one that you'd have to define what you mean by "fossil fuel" as it would release CO2 but isn't technically a fossil fuel. The process of making concrete can be done without burning oil.
Just sent you an email for a test account:) Thanks!
“The effect may stem from a lack of calcium and protein in their diet, as well as the fact that they tend to be thinner and so have less flesh to cushion a fall.”

Been mostly vegan for about a year now, still got a booty. I wish they would have talked about activity, like could it purely be that non meat eaters engage in more activities that put them at risk for breaking bones? A study comparing athletes on meat versus non-meat diets and injury would be interesting.
(a) I don't sit 6 feet from someone indoors either.

(b) The problem is we don't know, and I'm in a risk group, so I don't want to take chances until something is proven to be safe.
I'm very pro-mask as a reasonable measure for controlling transmission however masks have been politicized and turned into a symbol of in/out group dynamics on both the left and the right. Masks are now triggers to the extremists on both sides and it's impossible to act reasonably and please either group as I'm either seen as a fascist anti-masker or a recruit in the red army. It seems the loud minority on both sides can only think in a Hitler/Stalin dichotomy with zero nuance. I choose to ignore the unreasonable and do what I think is good and reasonable and above all charitable, despite the discomfort.
Because Amazon has a history of product quality and control problems.
There is no such thing as a perfectly safe distance but there is a "you're really risking common spread in most situations if less than" and that's where the 6 feet/ 2 meter number somes from and why it's relevant not because the virus counts out 6 feet and drops dead. I don't think anyone here is claiming that by referencing it either and you always want more distance if it's reasonably possible.
thanks! Is there a favourite resource you've come across?
Intel shuts down its AR/VR volumetric capture stage
Yes, this. I can feel a nice cloud of moisture coming off runners that pass too close on the trails.

I think the key difference with the outdoors is that aerosols don’t accumulate easily, not that you couldn’t infect someone by blasting them with your breath.
The point is that if you tear down a Tesla there's plenty of parts that have a black market value. "But DRM!" is a silly refutation to the possibility of theft.
I agree. Medium dying in a fire seems like the best option...
To add on, players like this feel enough that this behaviour is very convincingly replicated by Riot in Valorant, which is a CS-like game on Unreal engine.
In my city many small streets have been closed to traffic. Haven't seen anyone complain about runners/bikers not using masks in the street. But we have more than a few runners on those same blocks not masking on the sidewalk.
He certainly lied at a much higher level than other presidents, let alone any president. His volume of lies is massive. I think it’s less his delivery style and more that he also lies about so many insignificant details.

If you don't prosecute for petty theft, you get what we see in San Francisco, where stores can't operate because their shelves are empty.
Judging by the replies a lot of people agree with those concerned citizens. I hope that the majority are terrified by this. It is one thing to recommend masks for legit health concerns, but it's a very slippery slope that we've already gone far down towards them becoming a religious/ political talisman that signified whether you are willing to shut up and agree with your leaders, or be an "anti-masker". We need to be more outspoken about all these baby steps toward complete submission to superstition.
> Burglary is violence too. So is pickpocketing.

They literally are not. If I have my pocket picked or my house burgled when I'm out, I may not find out until later. There was no violence or threat of violence employed against my person.

Robbery and theft are legally defined as separate crimes. The former is treated far more harshly than the latter.
hard to transition otherwise :(
You’re getting a lot of answers that aren’t outright wrong, but don’t really answer your question of “Why is Apple successful where other companies aren’t.” Or phrased another way, “Why does Apple repeatedly innovate new product categories where other companies can’t?”

As others have pointed out, lots of companies attempt the same thing as Apple and fail before Apple is successful. Others point to marketing, timing, etc as reasons, which I think losses what is fundamentally different about Apple’s approach.

Apple is focused on products, and the user experience, where other companies are focused on technologies. Jobs seems to have built this approach into Apple’s DNA.

There are key differentiators for every product example where “someone else did it first.” For the iPod, no one took the time to deeply consider an interface like the scroll wheel, or a music library (instead of folders). For tablets, other companies considered it from a perspective of bolting it on to their current offerings, instead of rethinking how it enabled new kinds of interactions. For wireless headphones, no other company prioritized size and effortless pairing. That is, in all of these, no company approached the products uniquely from the customer’s perspective and a blank slate, and only then deeply dove into what technology would enable (or forcing the enabling technology into existence).

I think that is the unique thing about Apple. They are excellent technologists and have incredible manufacturing capability, but so do other companies. No other company is so purely driven by the user, nor has such long horizons for decisions (ie, patience), nor has the leverage to create enabling technologies.

This is what Wall Street has totally failed to understand about Apple for decades, and I think a lot of nerds do, too.
I am surprised that game engines aren't set up to test simple scenarios programmatically. I play a lot of Overwatch and the bugs / patch notes about fixing those bugs amaze me every time; they tell me a lot about how the software is designed and tested.

There was one bug where a character has a deployable ability that doubles the damage and healing of all projectiles that pass through it. One day, the patch notes read "fixed an issue where healing was not amplified when passing through the amplification matrix". And, I totally get it... every conference talk I've seen out of Blizzard goes into details about all the infrastructure they've made for play testing their games. It sounds easy to get your coworkers into a build of your latest PR and try it out. But things like these subtle numbers adjustments just don't translate well to play testing -- sometimes the enemy is doing so much damage that you can't really be sure that the problem is the Amp Matrix isn't multiplying the healing by the right number. So, from time to time, refactors break it!

But, in a world where you could easily write integration tests, this problem would never happen. You'd write a simple scenario like "create empty room. place baptiste at position 0,0. deploy amp matrix at position 10,0 with orientation 90 degress. place sombra at position 20,0. set her health to 80. make baptiste fire a healing grenade along vector 1,0 at an angle of 45 degrees. wait 10 ticks. ensure that sombra's health is now 200." The framework to be able to write tests like this is not difficult (you can do it in their "workshop"), and it's not difficult to write a test like this for every ability, and even every combination of abilities. And, it would mean that play testers never ever need to be suspicious of numbers; the automated tests already check that. You'd make developers more productive (the computer can check the basics like this), and play testers more productive (they don't need to test simple stuff anymore). But... I don't think they do it. The buggiest releases are when the team is under time pressure to hit a deadline (Overwatch has seasonal events; the patch that introduces a seasonal event always has some weird bugs), and I don't think automated tests miss things under time pressure -- but humans sure do.

The one thing I'll give Blizzard credit for is that their games are fun. All that playtesting is certainly a good idea. I'd supplement it with some gameplay-focused integration tests, though. They have the money and the tools teams, and their games last longer than a few months, so it just seems like a smart investment to me. So it just baffles me what bugs ship to production.
That is not the point I'm trying to make at all. You conjured my talking point out of thin air and then attributed it to me. I should have expected this...

I'm not gatekeeping. I'm saying that we spend a lot of effort to lower the bar to software development when it is already very low. It is certainly already low enough that anyone can become a software developer. I would like to see that effort used for something more productive.
Or just wear a mask for the same reason you wash your hands after you take a piss. It's basic courtesy to the people around you.
Sure, although I think "missing" has negative connotations that don't actually apply to this. When unmasked, your interrupt handler usually just runs until there is no more work to do, which is (again, usually) discoverable. Your device driver is still awoken promptly if the interrupt arrived during a critical section.

Thank you very much for your time and feedback!
The scars are indeed not too prominent. In fact we had ours of discussions about the intensity of the scars - in the end we decided to go for a scar intensity that equals the average scar after about 2 years (so they wouldn't be too obvious in reality either).

The survey has 88 picture pairs that are mixed randomly. These 88 pairs are the absolute minimum to cover all relevant breast conditions in a way that allows us to get good statistical data.
We calculated the average decision time per picture pair with 3 seconds - hence the 5 minutes.
However the survey is structured in a way that if a participant only clicks 10 pictures, we can still use the data from those 10 clicks. So every click counts - and if someone is kind enough to click all 88 pictures, we get a full set of data.

Thank you very much for your interest and support!

It's not a threshold.

For getting infected, it's like lottery tickets.

For severity of infection, a bunch of "winning" lottery tickets make it difficult for your immune system to catch up. Getting a large exposure is like giving the virus multiple viral generations of a head start without being noticed by the immune system.

Yes, and there is an anniversary edition. The book is mentioned in Wikipedia.
For comparison this works out to 3.7 megabits/sec, which is less bandwidth than most DSL connections! That means if you're a heavy downloader, you should seriously consider switching to DSL.

What I find especially galling is that the first 1.2TB costs half as much ($10 per 100GB, assuming a $120 monthly bill) than the subsequent data, even ignoring the fixed cost of the connection. I think if they merely charged a fair decreasing rate for usage, rather than trying to price gouge heavy users, they wouldn't be seen as such villains.

Alas, muni fiber for the win. Gigabit symmetric and forget about it.
Last I checked the Zen3 Ryzens drew around 7-8W per core as well, which isn't a massive power draw difference.

You could add a hard disk to the original PC, but it wouldn't boot from it as the code in the BIOS wouldn't recognize your HD controller card (initially MFM like you said, a few years later RLL before we moved to IDE/ATA and eliminated such complications).

With the XT the BIOS would search upper memory for extra ROMs and the one in your HD controller card could patch the entry code for INT 13h so it could try to boot from the HD. If that failed it called the original INT 13h which would try to boot from a floppy.

On the software side we had a similar evolution. The first versions of DOS included all the drivers for all devices you might have. If some manufacturer wanted to add some new hardware it would have to ask Microsoft to compile a new version of DOS just for their machine. That didn't scale at all and soon the extra drivers were split into their own .sys binaries which could be loaded by autoexec.bat as needed.
> Because I currently cannot get a LCTF from the city... I had no need for that before corona virus, I do need one now.

I'm not questioning that you really do need a LTCF, but with COVID and the protests and the election suddenly everyone "needs" a gun.

So there's reduced capacity + HUGE surge in demand + severe budget shortfalls. It's not a conspiracy. It's just queuing theory.

> Bucks county is issuing it in 15 minutes. Philly does a whole interview process which goes beyond a basic NICS check and they have chosen to be poorly staffed for a very long time.

Allegheny is far less onerous than Philly but also has long wait times.

Also, these super long wait times are a relatively recent development. I expect Sheriff's offices will do what they can to address the problem in the new FY.

> Anyway, it's all really arguing something that should be moot - A persons right should not depend on the government service choosing to open its office.

Again, priorities. Tell that to the people waiting in jail for far longer than constitutionally permissible for hearings because of delays in the courts. Should we reallocate cash from judicial processes to CCW processes and have those folks wait in jail an extra few months so that folks who got all jittery a few months before the election can forget to show up to their CCW appointments?

I must insist, because it's not just about my perception (I'm neutral about drugs, for I respect bodily autonomy) but the average person.

Even with the recent changes, a history of drug use has a negative connotation. Weed is minor bad, cocaine is bigger bad (except in finance, but that's another story).

By suggesting that MJF disease was fueled by his drug habit:

- you will be causing more people to see him with a negative light

- you might impede what seems to be his good will effort to put his money and fame against the disease

There is no perfect solution, but I think we should at least be aware of these second order effects -- see also The Dark Knight for when Batman decides that preserving the previous good reputation of Double Face was more important, because it gave hope to people.

My personal take: Disease do not come from doing "good" or "bad" deeds - they just are. As someone else said, even if it was 100% due to drugs, that does not precludes compassion.

Also, even if I'm neutral on drugs, lots of people aren't. Therefore, making this connection, while technically true, may bring very little upsides but lots of downsides, so it's better not to, if only because we should leave MJF himself decide what to disclose or not, while by default extending the benefit of doubt.

It's mind-boggling to me that people act so irrationally. Maybe one won't get very ill if they are infected with Covid-19. But it's also possible that they'll inadvertently pass it on to others who may become gravely ill (or worse.)

What does it cost you to wear a mask? It's uncomfortable and annoying - I agree! If we make mask-wearing complicated (over nose, under nose, under the chin!) people will just do the most comfortable thing and it'll wind up being completely ineffective.

The coronavirus doesn't care if you are republican or democrat.

Simple rule: wear a mask when there's other people around - your life may not depend on it, but your or someone else's grandmother's might. If a vaccine is truly around the corner, we can actually cause some people not to die by wearing masks. There's just no good reason to be this selfish, prolonging this nightmare in the process.
But in a time of extreme public anxiety, and especially one where the topic of taking some action to try to avoid unknowingly infecting your community has become controversial on its own, is doing a simple thing which signals to the people around you that you're likely taking some level of precaution and are understanding of public health guidelines not worth its benefits to the community?

Some kinds of signaling are useless at best, problematic at worst. But wearing a mask even if you believe you technically don't require one to avoid being contagious seems like a common sense way to promote community during a stressful time to be around strangers - they don't know you, they don't know your medical history, they have no way of knowing when you wait near eachother in the grocery checkout line whether you're carrying antibodies and presumably not capable of being contagious or whether you're just flagrantly ignoring public health advice.

(Ignoring, of course, the subset of people who would inevitably falsely assume they were not capable of being contagious for whatever reasons even if they really could be... we probably all know that friend who swears they had COVID earlier in the year, but did not get tested at the time and have not had an antibody test since to verify. Do we really want those people getting the idea that their anecdotal illness is an opt-out from face coverings in public?)

The many interpretations of public health messaging around the world have shown us pretty well over the last 8 months that many people do really poorly with developing science and/or nuance. "Wear your mask in public, always" removes a lot of room for error, either malicious or just misinformed.

System configuration is just another store item, but symlinked, copied, or referenced by other places outside the store as well. Such as systemd services.

You're likely right though that compatibility between the two projects will continue diverge. My true dream was that vendors wouldn't have to build for Snap, Flatpak, Guix, and Nix. They could just use either Guix or Nix and have something usable by either user base. In the end the outputs are just writing stuff to the store.

But the fact that the store paths are already different would make it a huge migration for that path to change in the future, and unlikely to ever happen. Still, I can dream.
>"Wage theft—employers’ failure to pay workers money they are legally entitled to—affects far more people than more well-known and feared forms of theft such as bank robberies, convenience store robberies, street and highway robberies, and gas station robberies."

Are we to ignore the fact that the crimes mentioned involve life-threatening situations for those affected? Apparently, human life is not as important as the amount of money lost.
