This response reminds me a bit of how politicians talk to each other. Politician A says: "I feel bad for SMBs that will suffer if we prioritize privacy." Politician B responds: "I totally agree. They should just simply ask me for my permission, that seems fair, no?"

Politician B is likely aware that asking for permission is going to cause the outcome that Politician A is predicting and is unhappy about, so in a way they are saying: "My privacy is more important to me than the SMBs' ability to survive." Which, to be clear, is a perfectly reasonable answer, and one that the majority of people will support. Except, that's not what they are saying. Their response ignores the inverse correlation between the two choices and paints a picture that represents the best of both worlds. Really smart and really effective - you help other supporters of your view ignore its downside and make them feel better about continuing to support it.

I've been asking myself why people argue this way, and PG's article titled Refragmentation [1] helped me understand some aspects of the new world we're living in. An alternative explanation is that it is - ironically given the context - all Facebook's fault which has been reinforcing the echo chambers of ideologies. If you believe that the Earth is flat and you wanted to find some validation, Facebook will be happy to do that for you. Just search for "flat Earth", join the biggest Facebook group on that topic [2], and within days you'll start getting content (and friend suggestions) that will make it hard to escape that alternate reality. They will feed you with convincing arguments that are better than what you can come up with, so that the next time someone says: "Dude, what about the ISS?", you'll be able to say, "I agree with you and think you bring up a valid point. I also think that [insert an argument that cannot coexist with the concept of the ISS]."

I am longing for the days when people would openly disagree with each other, because that forced them to actually listen to the arguments and then address them as opposed to talking to each other like politicians do, whose job depends on getting their constituents to support them even when their ideology is wrong.

Thanks! I never knew about this. Seems interesting.
Imagine we find a therapeutic that obviates vaccination, masking, lockdown, and all this moralistic nonsense.

And I think his most compelling point is this: where's been the effort behind identifying effective repurposed drugs?

It does seem to be all focused on novel things, expensive solutions, etc.

I have no idea why a person would pay for a VPN to trickle torrents when they could pay the same to get usenet and download 1080p movies in a couple of minutes, or 4k in ~10.
Considering how often people commit their credentials, it seems Git or GitHub need a --i-need-a-nanny option that would check if you're about to publish things that you would not rather publish. But then it would have to be an installation option because the people who goof up like this would not know/remember to add that CLI parameter; but I would bet a lot of people would turn on said nanny option that would warn you if you're about to commit lines containing the word "password" or "secret" or "key" (obviously it would have to be more clever than this simple text compare, otherwise it would warn on lines like "function checkPassword(String userSuppliedPassword) {"...

I'm interested to know how you rate the matlab alternatives on interacting visually with the data? I often want to do things in Matlab like plot a largeish data set, then zoom in to different features, or open an array of data in a window and check values. How is octave for that sort of thing? How about python?
Can anyone expound on the question of if the disposition of Oracle v. Google (concerning API copying) has any bearing for Octave vis-a-vis MATLAB?

Medical is beyond Science unfortunately. The club exists to protect their extraordinarily high wages and protect them from punishments.

There's a reason physicians don't consider themselves scientists. If they make an error they can claim they knew from Tradition/Art/Authority.

It's politically impossible to outspend the US Physician Cartel (AMA), so I doubt we will have a Science based alternative or science based reform.
For the keyboard layout, use a mechanical keyboard program it through qmk, loose 1 month adapting to it, and voila, problem solved.
Presence of an MX record should _not_ be used as a litmus test for a valid email domain.

RFC 5321 section 5 specifies that you lookup the MX and, if absent, use the A/AAAA record. I'm simplifying a bit, but that's the gist of it.

Using just the A record is more common than you might expect.

I know that even some people calls to their ISP complaining that "internet is down".

When ISP support trying to figure what's going on they found that actually Facebook as service is down.

But people think that Facebook IS The Internet.
maybe this wasn't clear, but I was referring to a live performer with "music streams". donating to make a song request doesn't have that gross feel. it's mainly the paying just to have your comment read that seems weird to me. in the first case you're paying for a performance; in the second, you are basically just paying for a human's attention.
Without a NAS what is the benefit of Plex over a DVD player?
This functionality does still exist - it's just changed a bit. When you full screen an app in MacOS Big Sur, you can add another app side by side with it in it's space.

It was better before as just spaces though. Windows does this right. If you add powertoys you can even go beyond the i3 tiling options but i'd argue i3 is a bit more naturally usable than the powertoys desktop stuff.
Don't blame the press on this; the "sophisticated hack" wording comes directly from SolarWinds.

> We have been advised that this incident was likely the result of a highly sophisticated, targeted, and manual supply chain attack by an outside nation state...
> Journalists should fundamentally believe bare facts speak for themselves and trust their readership to make the right conclusions.

I don't even mind someone spelling out the conclusion for me, as long as the article contains links to original sources so that I can verify it. But even that is rare. Most links in an article point to other articles written by the same newspaper.

As an example, suppose a newspaper writes an article about something related to Wikipedia. I would expect to see the word "Wikipedia" hyperlinked in the article many times, but none of those links would actually lead to Wikipedia; they would lead to random other articles of the same newspaper that happen to mention Wikipedia. It would be probably impossible to get to Wikipedia from the news article by merely following hyperlinks.

I don't know what services you're using, but I can download 4k in sub-10 minutes from my seedbox. My understanding was usenet did not have as many options.

Yes, so you can, at least if you explain persuasively that this is better than the status quo. Without considering it carefully, it seems to be tilted towards whover has the lowest latency, except that in this scheme what matters is being able to get your offers in last before the deadline, based on the latest information from other exchanges.

>I don't know how to make these different use cases clear without having pages and pages of explanation that nobody will read.

Expose the logic. Put a "?" Icon button on the add that lists every data point used in the decision making process, who collected the data, when, and how.

E.g:

1.1.2020 @ Starbucks on main st in 90210 you bought a medium coffee, a gift card, and a cookie.

1.3.2020 @ Barnes and noble you bought a book and m&MS.

So when the customer wonders why they're being shown advertisements for cat litter they'll be able to see how the ml algorithm thought they'd be interested.

If the logic can't be explained in real time to the advertised too then it surely can't be justified to the actual companies buying said advertisement.
Some routers allow you to change the DNS server. If you have or buy a configurable router, it should work.
In my case, the marketing department was using the FTP server, but their client also supported S3, so I told them to use the S3 credentials instead.

In another case around 2015, a coworker started and was learning the system. He found that a web store front was being powered by an FTP box that had a list of items in it, and the FTP box was periodically being updated by someone somewhere, but he couldn't figure out who or where. As far as I know, he never figured it out, and the mystery uploads continue to this day…
Only tangentially related, but I recently tried Plex to see what the fuzz is about, and the UX is horrible. Both on the smart TV side and on the PC side.

It always takes me forever to find out anything in the GUI and I can never find out how to do the simple things I want - that is - put bunch of files into one end and watch them on smart TV on the other end.
I admit I don't know much about this field (hence my question) so I will take your word for it. What sort of magnitude of problem are we talking about for the downstream effects?

>You also lose all the money that's driving technological advancements (like that fiber cable).

Isn't this circular? If they weren't capturing wealth created by other actors, they tautologically wouldn't have it to invest in the first place. That said, it's true that the money might not then be invested in this sort of technology.
Github already does this to some extent.

One of the major selling points of NextJS is precisely to address the issues with CSR (client-side rendering). It offers SSG (static site generation) for build-time rendering -- no client JS required. But also SSR (server-side rendering, ie at runtime), and automatic hydration for CSR too.
Bitcoin does not seem like a safe long term value storage.

Those that love using i3/tiling managers - what does your workflow look like?

I used Amethyst https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst an auto-tiler on the mac for quite some time but finally gave it up recently. I loved the auto-sizing but there were little niggles on the Mac e.g. some windows really needed to be floating and layout oddities when certain windows expected more width.

I tended to find I was mostly just using spaces to keep apps I was interested full screen and using the occasional split. I was just cmd/alt-tab'ing between apps most of the time. When I did have content in multiple windows it was then a faff to try and get the two windows I wanted in the same space. I didn't feel like I was making the most of it.

I've since gone back to SizeUp https://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/ and manually move windows to where I want them.

I feel like I wasn't and perhaps I'm still not using it as effectively as I could though hence the question.
Thanks, but I don't know what you mean by "operating one or two paragraphs at a time". I guess pinning search terms means showing them at the top so that you can click on them to search them? I don't think that would much value, because it would be faster to type, except on mobile. It might be useful as a reminder, though.

EDIT: Do you mean having two search fields at the same time? I always just open two windows when I need that, but it would probably make sense for thinktype to support it "natively".
I do this when I am the last to leave a building. "This window is closed... these lamps are off". I read about the transport-related part of it in this article: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pointing-and-calling-j...
When I was using i3 I heavily took advantage of the robust Workspace feature. I would keep max three windows open, minus dialogs, and switch between Workspaces instead. Each Workspace would be organized into a given task like writing, browsing, or programming. Luckily this workflow migrates very easily to GNOME 3 and I’m quite happy with it there now. I learned this workflow from ChrisLAS of Jupiter Broadcasting (highly recommended their shows!)
I believe that's the main selling point of OPA (as also pointed out by the_duke in the other comment).

While in Germany it has helped to increase the amount of foldable bags we carry around, latest surveys just show a large majority doesn't care about having to pay such kind of taxes.
Imagine a market that traded every hour. So everyone lined up their orders and what they were selling and at the top of the hour all the trades were processed. Now imagine this on 9/11, or a fed release. Prices from an hour ago are just really not enough information to understand what the prices should be at now, so it ends up being very confusing (and not to mention bursty!). You could put in an order only to realize your price was too low, and you don't get filled, and have to wait another whole hour! Tons of inefficiencies there.

Those same inefficiencies in the market would be seen at 59 minutes, at 30 minutes, at 10 minutes, but get less and less impactful each time. HFTs basically provide a service that gives you almost instant liquidity and market making, which is valuable to anyone who's looking to act quickly buying or selling.
Yeah, that sounds right to me. I would expect to see a temporary rejection with DEADLINE_EXCEEDED or something like that.

I think a lot of time and effort is spent categorizing errors from external systems into transient or permanent, and it's always kind of a one-off thing because some of them depend on the specifics of the calling application. It definitely takes some iteration to get it perfect, and it's very possible to make mistakes.

For a place like MDN, this really isn't a problem.

I presume Kuma had - and Yari will have, if it doesn't already - some way to prevent unsafe injection and other dangerous things.

This isn't to say that the issue doesn't exist. Instead, I would expect it to be the exception rather than the rule. After all, Markdown and its derivatives owe their existence to this very phenomenon.

The language of last resort, if you will.
It's a bit like vim.

There is a learning curve but once you've got it you feel like you can't go back.
There are lots of tools that do that. Obviously it’s always going to have false positives and false negatives. A dev environment that makes it easy to deal with secrets the right way is probably better
Nice jingoism, repetition of statements of faith (but not fact). This is clearly a waste of time.

Nobody is arguing against freedom of speech, what every other country objects to is is unrestricted freedom of speech, meaning protection of lies, propaganda, slander, calumny, defamation and inciting of violence as being acceptable forms of free speech.

I can explain it to you, I can't make you understand this: no other country in the world, no other people in the world, accept that unrestricted free speech is a good thing.

Moreover, those countries believe it so strongly that there are laws against it. European countries are functioning democracies. Clearly your point that unrestricted free speech is essential to democracy is false.

I'm not going to bother responding any further.
If you get a pihole you can stop the ads for the kids and save a few bucks.
I am definitely not implying that.

Twitter lets anybody publish small things. And it lets anybody select a set of accounts and get a time-ordered list of what they've published. That's how I use it. I follow a couple thousand interesting people, ones who tend to point to other interesting people and articles. If at any point I'm bored, I can drink from a firehose of good content.

I also maintain a feed reader, which is how I follow people who have their own sites. But I don't need to use those sites for discovery, the pattern you describe in the old days. Discovery just isn't a problem I have much. These days, my problem is filtering down to what I actually have time to read.
the problem is when you do this for a few hundred years, you go way past the optimal regulatory environment.

If applied correctly, I believe libertarianism is the ideal form of government. The problem of course is that no form of government can be applied correctly due to human greed and corruption, which would thus make libertarianism a terrible choice.

For example, without regulatory agencies, consumers would have to rely on publications such as Consumer Reports to determine which products/services are free of dangerous defects, etc.

The problem is information overload and the lack of critical thinking skills among the general population. Just look at the ridiculous things large swaths of the population believes today, even though we have more access to information than ever. What I'm saying is it would be very easy to game the system in a libertarian society.

Therefore, the best form of government in the real world may be a benevolent dictatorship.
I've used i3 for several years[0], and it's one of my favorite window managers out there. I had a couple of failed attempts on Debian/Ubuntu but NixOS made it so easy to switch to i3 and use XFCE as the desktop environment, which is great when you want to use i3 but not worry about setting sleep settings/keybindings for volume and display, etc., so I recommend i3+xfce for anyone wanting to give i3 a try without investing too much time configuring.

Also, i3/Sway handles external displays well, better than macOS IMO. When a display is disconnected, macOS merges the windows into the laptop display, but on tiling window managers they just stay in the same workspace number, which can be switched to on the laptop display, this is much more predictable and simpler.

[0]

I switched to Sway recently, the main reason being is that when you have an external display with a different DPI than your laptop display (which in my case is a HiDPI Retina Display), it's quite hacky to get it work under X, but it works flawlessly in Wayland. See my user config[1] for more, let me know of any questions regarding program compatibility under Wayland.

The configuration syntax is essentially compatible with i3 as well.

I'm not sure I follow. The musical analogy would be obsessing over "audio quality", which has nothing to do with music genre.
Environmentally friendly is not measured on one indicator. Perhaps in terms of energy-intensity, paper is higher than plastic. But energy use of store bags is relatively negligible anyway, not to be ignored but also not a grave threat. But in terms of the spread of plastics and biodegradability, a one-time paper bag is certainly better than a one-time plastic back, and not quite as negligible in its impact.

Further, the vast majority of plastic bags have not been replaced by paper bags, but by people's own bags. For example in supermarkets there's an 80% decrease in use of plastic bags since pricing them in the Netherlands (Dutch but google translate works fine): https://nos.nl/artikel/2325519-tachtig-procent-minder-plasti...

Besides, if plastic is being replaced by paper, it simply shows incentives work. If paper is also undesirable, the next step is not to reintroduce free plastic bags, but to introduce pricing for paper bags just the same.

Honestly I don't see how this argument pops up in every single discussion on plastic bag reduction every time...
I did find this software https://github.com/FreeAndFair/OpenCount

That was funded by UC Berkley and has a tabulator part that appears to work on the common voting systems.

Readme states "Tabulator currently supports optical-scan ballots associated with Diebold (Premier), ES&S, Hart, and Sequoia ballot styles"

Since Dominion acquired Sequoia in 2014, I am guessing some small changes would make this work for the current ballot images used in 2020.
The left-pad issue is about the package being gone, not modified. Without a cache of your own, there's nothing to prevent that?
Google Home Max is dead – Google shuts down production
I realise this is a devil’s advocate type argument, but I doubt Facebook is the only channel for most small businesses, and even if it was, it’s their fault for relying on a single channel and taking no precautions. Not even a website?

FWIW I know several small business owners (in Europe - well, in the UK) who use Google’s tools for business, Facebook, Twitter — most popular social media accounts, in fact. In addition to that they have a website, distribute flyers, publicise themselves with local newspapers/bloggers, and have “recommend a friend” programmes.

The paper A ubiquitous tire rubber–derived chemical induces acute mortality in coho salmon [1]:

By investigating this phenomenon, we identified a highly toxic quinone transformation product of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine) (6PPD), a globally ubiquitous tire rubber antioxidant.
