Very different situations though. Hillary conceded. And no one I personally knew really thought that Trump would not become president. Most people believed there was Russian interference, but most didn’t believe they were literally changing votes. The Senate agreed with that assessment.

While I’m no fan of Trump and vote mostly Democratic I do think Trump won in 2016 and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t. I have a much smaller social circle of Republicans and they ALL believe Trump won this year.

"Strain" is defined as a mutation that causes a change in behavior.
How would you manifest that partial trust when it comes to political power, though? The problem with that power is that splitting it up is a zero-sum game - you can give less to "the masses", but then somebody else is getting more. Who would that be, and why would you trust them?
>If you reject the idea that people are intelligent enough to think about politics for themselves then you reject the idea that they're intelligent enough to govern themselves.

Elegantly put. It seems you've triggered an avalanche of replies looking to stick asterisks or [#] footnotes and caveats to this statement to suit their biases of the day.

Bang some caveats in there and you put universal suffrage as a concept in question.
When i read the title, I first thought to myself that those 2 billion dollars will be pretty much worthless once everyone uses ipv6. But as soon as more ipv6 adresses are used (or CG-NAT), ipv4 adresses will become cheaper, so there seems to be a natural balance which will keep the state of "There are IPv4 adresses left" and "IPv4 adresses will run out sometime soon"
The article reads much like an 'Ode to Lynx' without providing real reasons on why one should use it.

> Many things we selfishly do endanger others. Ever driven a car?

Yes, and I take various precautions when doing so to reduce the risk to those around me. But, driving a car gets me from point A to B. There's a trade-off. Near as I can tell from the available data from studies on the new vaccines, the risk and consequences of getting COVID outweigh the risks and consequences of getting the vaccine, perhaps by several orders of magnitude.

The number of both cases & deaths have reached nation-wide highs, and basically all states are seeing upticks in prevalence, likely to be made worse by Christmas. The tests on the vaccines have shown it to be effective, and have had minimal side-effects (I've heard some reports of non-life-threatening allergic reaction, and 1 more serious case that is being investigated. There were 43,000 people in the Pfizer study alone, I think. That is significantly better than the confirmed COVID-19 case rate. https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/09/covid-19-vaccine-from-pf...)

> I may have some bias here because the only 2 times I've gotten the flu as an adult are the two times I got the the flu shot, like you're supposed to do. So maybe that's just coincidence, but my operating theory now is, no more flu shots until I get the flu again. If I do, then I'll reconsider.

It's just coincidence:

> studies show that flu vaccination reduces the risk of flu illness by between 40% and 60% among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are well-matched to the flu vaccine.

This, reverse charge.
I wish I had the same idea.
Yes you are right Sennheiser does have a very wide budget offering. However, beyerdynamic also sells 150$ headphones. What I meant was this weird cult following they have and this determination to do something very different from the rest of the industry and what is generally being considered as an upset to the established rules. I am of course talking about the unnatural bright sound profile for studio headphones, where the goal usually is to have them as flat as possible.

Also they do seem to care more about nice materials and Style than other brands, which is reflected in their commercials as well.
No. There is nothing inherent about sales tax that makes written prices shown pre tax.

In Japan pre VAT prices are regularly advertised to consumers. In Denmark receipts shows percent and nominal VAT of every purchase.

There is nothing defining to sales tax that makes it impossible to have sales tax and requires retailers to advertise post tax prices.
The embedded promo video specifically mentioned they support the right to repair which was nice to see, and they include the service manual with the tractor for self repair purposes.

Of course, having that at launch is one thing, but future decisions could always be made by the bean counters leading to a locked down platform.

It's only a limitation if you run one machine. These are cheap and employee-less. You just run a gang of them around the clock.
So if the strains change every year because the virus mutates so much then the current strain wouldn't be so common. It's basically what happens with the flu. Also a new strain can be more infectious, which I believe was the case with the mink strain.
Contrast this to the accusations of election meddling in the previous election.

At this point the farce has exceeded its self. Yet raging partisans still manage to suspend their disbelief where it suits their biases.
I think there was a lawsuit against one of them recently. But the gist of it is they’re opening a bunch of LLCs and registering their IPs with ARIN.

When you “geolocate” an IP, you’re really just looking up the registered info for that IP’s ASN in the ARIN/RIPE database.
I don't think so. I believe that is related to the immune system's ability to "forget". I believe a new strain which evades the current vaccine schemes would need an entirely new or significantly altered vaccine.
It’s not “learning” anything though. Difference is causation vs correlation:

If I learn how to boil water for example, there is close to 100% causation that heating water causes it to boil (notwithstanding we do not know everything about Physics, eg before we would say the earth is flat because we learnt it so, but that was incorrect, ie not everything we learn is true, it’s just a super high level of correlation)

However if a machine learning model says the probability of water boiling is 99% after heating water, that is actually correlation. So I would distinguish it from learning

In this example there’s not much different. But when you apply to more complex examples, the difference between causation and correlation become clearer
You could probably still do it and do fairly well. Go on BlackHatWorld as a starting point. I did this circa 2011-2013, but really all I did was arbitrage between webhostingtalk and BHW/Wickedfire. I ran a bunch of squidproxy instances and let the server providers convince me that I couldn’t have more than 256 IPs per server, so I way overpaid.
There are plenty of free UI kits that you can download and print off for paper prototyping purposes which is essentially what this is. These are nice from an aesthetic point of view but I’m irrationally irked by these being called “flow cards”. In UX we typically think of user flows as journeys across pages and channels. What these cards are useful for is a collaborative exercise called paper prototyping to define page structure and content hierarchy.
A rewrite with performance as the primary motivation is likely to be faster in general, but yes: avoiding garbage collection pauses is a substantial advantage for a video game.
Yeh so do I. I don’t get it. I do the math every time I get a new phone and result is always that I pay the exact full price of the phone over two years down to the cent, but I limit my choice of cell plan to the ones supporting that phone.

I find it amusing when Americans tell stories about malls being ghost towns. In Australia they are almost reaching the limits of how many people can fit inside the buildings and the whole road and public transport systems are based around the locations of them.

I have no idea what the difference between here and America is. Amazon is not super big here like it seems to be in America.
it's an advantage, sure, but still he was right in saying he did not use internal connections as alleged. calm down everyone.
>and that it is rather conspicuously applied along political lines. There are many non scientific, ideology driven ideas that have been bullying their way into every facet of communication these days.

Yes, but not all of them are equally dangerous, so there actually is no reason to assume they ought to be evenly treated. There are ideologies that lead to people shooting up a restaurant or behead non-believers in the streets, and then there are people who are just annoyingly woke, or to take that example from the comment below, are overly cautious about climate change.

There's a difference between something that is merely non-scientific or silly and something that gets people killed or threatens democratic society or peaceful transition of power. That false equivalence seems prominent in US discourse when it comes to identifying and dealing with radicalism. The numbers of domestic terrorism in the US by political orientation actually make that very clear as well.

It'd be great if you could plant crops or breed animals using dispensers - it's weird that you can't when you can e.g. shear sheep with them but not feed the sheep. Those are my two main pain points currently.
No, different reason, booster shots, are needed to "remind" your immune system that the virus is still out there, and keep it on fighting shape, and as far as I am aware, the early discussions for booster shots, were about 6, to 9 months. But all of that is up in the air, there's no data for how the vaccine will develop that much into the future yet

Anyhow, if the spike proteins vary too much, then we'll need a new vaccine all together, not just a booster for the current one
Each situation is morally relative and ineffective at resolving conflict, instead only deepening the divide. You cannot fight hate with hate and achieve love. We all must be more tolerant of people and their fallibility in order to reach common ground and discover that we are all much more alike than we are different. Don't love the sinner, hate the sin. MLK nailed it when he said that the means are the seeds from which the ends grow. You cannot hope to bear fruit when starting from a rotten seed. It's so easy to retaliate but true power is the confidence to de-escalate.
I work with FP languages for 4 years now and I still have no clue what a Monad or GAT is.

I wouldn't call Singapore a democracy. It's an authoritarian one-party state that happens to hold elections. These elections are always won by the same party.

The democracy index rates Singapore at 6.02/10. About 0.03 away from being a "hybrid regime" and currently rated a "flawed democracy." It's ranked as worse than places such as Ukraine (currently in a civil war), Thailand (run by a military dictatorship), etc.

Having been stuck in the lockdown they imposed earlier this year, which was widely unpopular with the city's residents and which lead to the biggest support for the opposition in the country's history, I would not at all call Singapore a democracy.
Depending on which Regional Internet Registry you belong to (based on country of residence/incorporation), the process is roughly:

A) justify an AS and pay the fee
B) find someone to buy IPv4 addresses and pay them (probably a deposit)
C) justify IPv4 address space to the RIR and pay the fee to transfer from your seller
D) pay annual dues

If your RIR actually has space available, you might be able to skip step B. And you can get IPv6 addresses without finding a seller, because all the RIRs have IPv6 space.

RIR processes are generally human driven, so you might get more questions if you're filing as an individual.
Yes, the "re-enter" behavior uses more cache instead of re-requesting the page and its resources.
> foreign governments and other actors actively seeking to polarize society

> What are some better alternatives?

I have no idea if it's mathematically possible but I'd be optimistic about the potential of a (hypothetical) privacy preserving web of trust metric. It would be really nice to have at least some limited indication of how the person behind the account fits into the world at large. Right now you can't reliably determine (arbitrary examples) country or even continent of residence, paid posts by an organized campaign (PR, propaganda, etc) versus organic occurrences, etc.

Of course, Facebook is the ever present counterexample where people proudly attach their full legal name to hate filled streams. But at least I personally know for certain that they're local people who actually exist and aren't being paid for their posts! Silver linings and all that.
Yeah that’s the easy finger pointing part. The hard part is doing things and making sacrifices yourself.

n (n Knuth up arrows) n (n Knuth up arrows) n = n (n+1 Knuth up arrows) 3, so that's not really impressive either. Your function is comparable in size to f_omega(n) on the fast-growing hierarchy. [1]

At any rate, it's known that BB(18) is larger than Graham's number [2]. In fact, the same person has a bunch of long-lasting Turing machines for values around 18 [3], giving the lower bounds:

BB(15) > f_omega(2046) > 2046 (2046 up arrows) 2046

BB(16) > f_omega(f_omega(5))

BB(17) > f_(omega+1)(10)
BB(18) > f_(omega+1)(7e57) > Graham's number

BB(19) > f_(omega+1)^3(9) > f_(omega+2)(3)

BB(20) > f_(omega+1)^4(7e57) > f_(omega+2)(4)

BB(21) > f_(omega+2)(f_(omega+1)^2(4))

BB(22) > f_(omega+2)^3(f_(omega+1)^2(4))

And for larger values again [2]:

BB(38) > f_(omega2)(167)

BB(64) > f_(omega^2)(4098)

BB(85) > f_(epsilon_0)(1907)

Of course, we expect the Busy Beaver function to grow a lot faster than these bounds.

I'm not sure what AS11917 is for now but the lion's share of WhatsApp now runs over/in Facebook's network/datacenters. WhatsApp chat connections are terminated on the FB edge like most other FB traffic and it shares FB's common CDN for media. AS11917 might be some legacy stuff or, as was mentioned, special policy stuff. But assuming things are as they were a year or two ago most of your WA traffic is via AS32934.

Wow, never would have thought this would happen by chance like that!

Several things:

-Thank you for the wonderful game! This is my favorite tower defense game hands down - I never played another one after Gem TD.

-Hope you'll post about it here! More people deserve to know the awesomeness that is Gem TD!

-Things like Gem TD proved a great distraction when I was going through things in life. And one round doesn't take long, it could be played in small increments. I feel like there is a lack of games that.

Good luck in whatever you are working on - including the HTML5 Gem TD! :)
So why not then support the process of:

1. Signature matching on mailed ballots

2. Broadcasting the hearings in the accused states (MI, PA, GA, WI, AZ, etc)

3. Actually hearing the cases at both the state and federal level, and then throwing them out on the facts presented, instead of refusing to hear them on "lack of standing" to begin with?

Win in the court of transparency. Make the crackpots look like crackpots, loudly and publicly, through a process of transparency that then becomes impossible to challenge or cast doubt upon, except for the most hardened of partisans.

Why is there such a refusal for this to happen?
Nothing is free when you get it from a profitable business.

EC2 prices are pretty high compared to other offerings if you run the machine permanently. The "free" IPv4 address is certainly a part of the price. (There are other parts like good maintenance, which you don't necessarily get from cheaper competitors)

Scaleway charges you 1 € / month for such address whether you use it or not. That's a 25% premium on the cheapest machine when in use. Much cheaper than AWS whether in use or not.

Not sure how many customers could perfectly live without the IPv4, but AWS seems to be in the market position to (covertly) charge them, too.
Is this a product that helps create say the same user in multiple accounts and helps onboard an employee?

One way to simplify sales tax without destroying the funding of local governments is to have the relevant portion of sales tax flow to the local governments while removing their ability to set rates and rules on the sales tax - so they get equitable funding, but it's uniform across neighbouring municipalities, and a business can ignore the complexity of how the tax is allocated between various levels of government. This obviously has a political impact and would cause local resistance, though, so it has to be pushed on from above.
I think you should extend this thought a little bit further.

If tech companies start deciding that certain gun content (to use the example in the parent) shouldn't be allowed, that will of course have an effect on the general population's opinion about guns and gun rights given their market control of online video. To me it's fairly obvious that this channel of media can be used to control what people think is "normal" or "allowed".

Realme X7 Pro full review and honest opinion
Your point raises a couple of questions. First, do you think it is only your outgroup (Fox News, Republican politicians, etc) that would use misinformation? Democrats and other media outlets don't stand to gain from its use, or are too moral to resort to it? Second, the precedent this sets is that the government can state one set of facts to be true, and force compliance to that truth from media. Do you not see this as a potential problem? Even if you believe that your group would never abuse that power, do you think that they will remain in power eternally? Is it not possible for this "defense" against "weaponized misinformation" to be used against you?
Ok, that's pretty embarrassing. It's obviously less straightforward than I thought.

Well, I guess I'm cheating - only my water heater gets an automatic "off peak" signal, coming via the electric power grid. For all the others, since I don't run them every day, I just have my watch reminding me when it's "off-peak time" and/or delay them to night off-peak...
So which strain are the various vaccines targeting? Or are they multi strain vaccines like the flu vaccine?
