I realize, the site's aim is to help you escape the "echo chamber". But I've recently been mulling over this other idea from Seneca (writing 2000 years ago!) on limiting the number of books you read, hard as it is, for an avid reader:

[...] Be careful, though, about your reading in many authors and every type of book. It may be that there is something wayward and unstable in it. You must stay with a limited number of writers and be fed by them if you mean to derive anything that will dwell reliably with you. One who is everywhere is nowhere. Those who travel all the time find that they have many places to stay, but no friendships. The same thing happens to those who do not become intimate with any one author, but let everything rush right through them. Food does not benefit or become part of the body when it is eaten and immediately expelled. Nothing impedes healing as much as frequent change of medications. A wound does not close up when one is always trying out different dressings on it; a seedling that is transplanted repeatedly will never grow strong. [...]

"But I want to read different books at different times," you say. The person of delicate digestion nibbles at this and that; when the diet is too varied, though, food does not nourish but only upsets the stomach. [...]

Very easy, Baltic republics were in no way capable of waging war right after the independence, let alone get out with any hope of territorial gains.

And historically, USSR always been placing military members from ethnic minorities into weakest, and most "cannon-fodderry" military units, predominantly foot infantry, and motorised.

Even ethnic Russians from more far away places were likely never to see any advanced military hardware.
Why is the regulatory review not for some named date in the past?
I don’t understand what you mean, macOS and iOS share the same kernel. They are both POSIX UNIX.

Also, macOS isn’t going to stop being UNIX based, it’s XNU/Mach based on BSD, that’s not going to change without a entirely new OS written from scratch.

What’s not UNIX about Swift/Xcode, it’s just a language / app, what don’t I get here.

Do you think they want to abandon Unix and roll their own OS from scratch?
Ooh, I've been doing text-related ML for work, and have been tempted to do birdsong recognition for a hobby project over the break. Aside from that Kaggle competition, do you have any other resources you like?
That's a good one! :D
I found that to be the case with all of Chouinard’s books, especially “Let my people go surfing.” Tons of lightly veiled corporate propaganda.
I have no problem with that if it's done safely. But, I've had people try to blow through an intersection when I'm turning at a protected left. That's just asking to be hit.

By reading 1 dedicated shell book e.g. "Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting" you'll be at the top 10% of shell connoisseurs.

That said, I challenge the usefulness of deep shell knowledge.

If you're planning on writing 300 lines shell scripts, you're most likely doing it wrong, you should be using a full featured, modern programming language.
Our beloved Trello now has some critical bugs. Makes me very sad.
Because they likely would have pulled a 'Ukraine' on Lithuania if it came to that.

Unless someone exacts extensive damage to something like the electrical grid. In which case it would cause mass suffering and death. Don't underestimate the steel trap of that cold war mentality.
We should be careful with the "monitoring users" statement; no user data is sent to Brave. Any "monitoring" is done locally, by the browser itself. The browser doesn't pass user data off to Brave (the company) or any other third parties.

Much XNU is taken from FreeBSD.
TSP is NP-hard, like 2^N. The trick is that it's approximate not exact. This could be of interest compared to known heuristic algorithms.
The system in Germany is much less stratified than US, UK or even China. There are few "top" universities if you look at the global rankings, which probably comes from both the lower budgets and the lower incentives to compete on the ranking metrics. But the German universities consistently perform well; Germany really has no bad (public) universities.

The atmosphere is very different and having studied in the UK i see the merits of both: a UK university basically runs like a school with a very strong support system and 1:1 touch with academics. In Germany its really a more "mass" approach in lectures and then seminars with lower ranking staff, not the actual professors. Also less other support e.g. psychologists, tech support,.. To succeed at a German university you have to grow up ;)

Also interestingly German universities seem to be much more political places. The UK I experienced as filled with extracurricular stuff, while in Germany there's much less of that and in return a much more vibrant political and debate culture.
Similar to ODoH, which aims to do the same with DNS.
I'll caveat my remarks first by admitting that I nearly completely ignorant of Google's 20% policy, but since it was widely advertised, my workplace made a similar statement that one half of each Friday should be dedicated to learning something new to benefit the team and thereby our careers. All I could ever think of after this proclamation was that I was to do as I was told 85% of the time and innovate 15%. As a developer, I offended that my innovations are devalued to a time slot. I was under the impression that I was expected to innovate continuously within the confines of the deadlines given. My two cents.
Per this thread it does seem like they were severely overstating the problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25409535 (tl;dr, their benchmark is likely running _under rosetta_. NEON with native code is far more competitive).
Just because an attack originated in a certain place does not mean it was supported by a nation state. For some reason it seems like a large number of security folks don’t understand this. I know lots of intelligent Russian engineers who could easily break into US corporate or government systems or orchestrate a DDoS attack. And if they chose to do so there would be zero legal consequences since they live in Russia and are Russian citizens. Doesn’t mean they are on Putin’s payroll.
> "the more you upload, the more we throttle you. The little users don't bother us and the big users eventually just go away"

The thing is that I use the services mostly as envisioned - I don't upload > 2 PB of cam recordings (one r/datahoarders case I remember) into unlimited, so I fall into "little users", just like probably > 99% of users ...

> Wouldn't you get more peace of mind knowing that your provider was working hard to support and enable your use-case ?

Perhaps I'm naive, but usually I believe they do that either way. If I'm not happy, I'll go to another provider, but so far I didn't really have bad experience with "unlimited" services.
The number of powerful economic nationalists in US history can be counted - if the US is lucky - on one hand.

Assuming that the goal is saving the American industry (whatever that means) - if the plan is 'good people will save it' then failure is already baked in. That plan never works. The plan should be 'whoever saves it will become fabulously and disgustingly wealthy' - then greedy opportunists will save it for you and people can go protest about how greedy they are.

Relying on good people to act is dicey. Relying on greedy people to act is a safe path.
Small Business Promotion Is Mostly a Bad Idea
A three week delay is not "merited". If you want to require resources for people to determine if their subgroup (race, preexisting conditions, weight, gender, etc) then just set up a website for people to understand what the more personalized risk assessments are. Many subgroups will not be well represented even in large trials, but we can use techniques to show people relative risks. Which in vaccines cases, are basically always very low.

The FDA is supposed to issue EUA if the "benefits likely outweigh the risks". That bar was crossed after phase I trials, frankly, definitely after phase II, and is 1000x safer after a phase III trial (even if you don't love everything about it). The FDA is clearly not abiding to this standard, and is instead going with "almost no conceivable downside" standard. That has cost many lives.
Somtimes I ask for sources when I agree with someone and want to read more. Asking people to prove their statements should be the default, not something to be denigrated.
I bike sometimes (and jog too), so I'm aware of and supportive of the need to be safe around other users of the road.

Yet, I could still use more reminders of where bikes actually are going to be. Especially when driving in a different area of town where I'm not familiar with routes that bikes take. I know I've made some driving mistakes which I wouldn't make in my own neighborhood.
something I found interesting was the authors comments regarding a trade deficit. The author states that a larger trade deficit is good for the USA and the dollar since it means more demand for dollars with little given back in return save for debt. and yet Donald trump has repeatedly called for closing the gap with China while the new admin will return to the status quo.

Certainly if the economics work out then why not. How could it be bad? But I cant help but feel there is something so perverse about such a system. What ultimately feels like encouragement to consume and rack up debt to detriment to others.

I don’t claim to understand the forces behind the economics of this at all but my intuition tells me the pandemic has created more cracks to such a system.
If you want to follow the spirit of the advice, you should certainly cut down on internet forums before you cut down on books.
While we may experiment, it won't ever be a blackbox. The source is always available at github.com/brave/brave-browser and github.com/brave/brave-core. We'll be sure to document the process if it ever changes as well.
I want a sign that says "Cyclists can use full lane, on all roads"

I have had to explain that it is not illegal for a bike to ride on a road which didn't have "share the road" signs.
I think this is the right answer, combined with Python for data science.
Right, that's why the word "could" is in there. All of the crimes I mentioned have an element of either intent or fault attached to them. Coming close to someone, even at speed, without intending to do any harm is not "attempted murder" or assault in any form. This is fortunate, because to pass a cyclist, one often is forced to come within a few feet of them to accomplish the maneuver.
Magic-wormhole does require a server, although it isn't a very demanding job. Brian Warner runs the default server.
Well my Numworks[1] calculator comes with Micropython, is open source, and has a color display for $100 which is less than what Casio is asking for this one.

I actually have two of these, one that is "stock" and one where I added access to the internal jtag port so that I could run my own code on it.

I used to get bonuses for these monthly fees, from loans, cc use and balance. Now even they are going away. Then again it does make sense when I look at the actual interest payment on my checking account.
The author should fix their data visualizations.
That is not entirely true. Receipts for ink orders come in over email.
Too many snarky and overused jokes in this thread.

Anyway, was this hack related to the one for FireEye last week?
Indeed!
This reminds of a fun issue I ran into years ago with simd code(gcc, linux) . I was experimenting with various vector sizes, and found significant slowdowns for some vector sizes. I was about to call it quits, as in 'well, I'll have to do things differently', when I realized it didn't make any sense.
I double checked the actual values computed by the benchmark, which happened to be completely wrong. What I had actually found was a compiler bug !
I was a linguistics major in college and therefore am a descriptivist, not a prescriptivist about language. When I say I cannot say this, I mean that this construct does not exist in the ordinary dialect that I speak, in the same way that I can say "that doesn't need washed" even though speakers of many other dialects have to say "washing" instead. If it is in someone else's dialect, they can feel free to say it, but my experience is that it is rare.
It seems like this incident has impacted not only the U.S. Treasury, but other U.S. government agencies.

The Washington Post also stipulates that the group behind it also hacked FireEye [1].

Makes me wonder if the TTP used for this attack is similar to the FireEye breach (if of course it really was APT29 behind both attacks).

Edit: Reuters reporter Chris Bing says he is hearing the way FireEye got hacked is similar to these government agencies [2].

This may be why interrogative programming never caught on.
That’s exactly the point- Google in that time frame did a TON of prestige hiring, whether or not it made sense for the actual work they needed to fill.
Or the average over 12 months?
I'll keep that in mind the next time the same party as always tries to invalidate the votes of Detroit and other major metropolitan centers...
The difference is that there is a common understanding of what unlimited breadsticks means. If you asked people what a "reasonable" amount of unlimited data storage meant, you'd get answers all over the place.
Thanks a lot. I learned something today. I knew of the ISBN issue, but didn't think of it.

Having some free time on my hands I will take a look in the next few days. Looking for an alternative to GR and for something that tickles my interests.

Python, Search and literature. And open source.
Docker-compose, Postgres and connection refused
What’s a good data source for book metadata and covers these days?
Yes. lol

Did everyting besides my thesis, just can't find a topic/time.
Note: I'm on the board of a credit union.

There is no "legal paperwork" for accounts. The only real costs for managing accounts comes from mailing monthly statements. The last time we discussed these statements at a meeting, it was reported they cost about $1.00 (on average) to send.
5% per year? 5% per month? 5% per week?
Most buyers of early scientific calculators bought them to replace their slide rule. Early TI calculators had model numbers of SR-xx, which stood for "slide rule".
"Data stolen" isn't even remotely relevant here; Brave is built to preclude abuse. This is why we've gone to such great lengths to design the Private CDN in such a way to prevent us and others from knowing who is viewing/requesting what.

Brave is "Can't be evil," as opposed to "don't be evil." We don't even want the capacity to do wrong.
I think it's relatively common in british english.

Certainly, from cumbria, it sounds quite natural also.

It's more spoken dialect than written. "What else do you want to do?" etc.
> How does this harm a working class American that derives all of their income from working wages as opposed to assets?

Their wage-dollars will now buy less stuff.

> Cite and example where a country did not default/print money for their debt payments and inflation went to 30%

The US has the world reserve fiat currency, so there are no examples because a fiat reserve currency has never existed before, but we know hyperinflation is a likely outcome. Now, from the experience we do have, ~30% inflation like in the 70s is the best we can hope for. A zombie economy like japan's would frankly be fantastic given the conditions.

>How does this harm a working class American that derives all of their income from working wages as opposed to assets?

Their wage-dollars will now buy less stuff.

> Lastly, address how any of the above prevents an increase in manufacturing jobs, which was the intent of the measures originally listed.

Don't worry, americans will have plenty of $1/hour manufacturing jobs like asians do now (or the nominal equivalente to $1 in a hyper-inflationary world). The US doesn't have the technical capacity or workforce to compete in high paying manufacturing any more and will take decades of pain to build.
Nation State suggests the nations government. If you just say country it might suggest organized crime or other randos from that country.
I feel like access to Google's infrastructure + data definitely fits the profile here.
That push was actually interesting, since they were intentionally being open about their cyber capabilities. They also had a "press tour" about how they hacked ISIS [0]. There's clearly some mind games going on by showing your hand like that.

The word "like" was not there previously, nor is it on the title of the article.
Or just release it for the group(s) you have tests as and when they're done?
Thanks, but what I'm trying to do is split authors ... and I think I've worked out how to do it. The trick is to make sure you're looking at the "work" rather than the "edition", because when you're looking at the "edition" the author is immutable.
Water!
This might sound a little weird, but I use a nose spray (any atomizer will do) filled with water and spray on my closed eyes when I feel like it.
I started doing this this year and it helped me tremendously. No more eye strain!

Before that I tried EVERYTHING!

* Dark Mode

* Night mode (Flux etc.)

* Changing Brightness

* Changing ambient light

* a few different eyedrops

* Looking away more often

* Sitting farther away from my monitor

* Different monitor positions

* Different monitors

* Sitting less in front of a monitor

* Bigger Text

Nothing helped me. I asked my doctor and he couldn't help me at all.
Sprinkling some water onto my eyes? It just works.

(I guess my eyes are just overheating or something? But honestly I have no idea.)
Yeah but Israel isn’t in the intersection of usual subjects and countries that aren’t nation states.
US Treasury breached by foreign hackers
We're talking about trials and manufacturing, not development of the vaccine itself.

The former is R&D intensive, the later is op-ex expensive.

The former relies on talent, the later is mostly just bodies and money. The former can be done much earlier in the process if the risk equations are aligned, which they are not, which is why Pfizer ramped up in October, and not back in April, when the could have, but wherein it wouldn't make sense for them.
Your (former) main job sounds like a treasure trove of valuable career advice!
I did 1-2 tests/exams per semester.

Took me 4h a day for 2-3 weeks per test.

I don't really do anything fulltime. But yes, I work besides my studies.

The good thing is, every test gives you 10ECTS, so even when studying fulltime, you only have to do 3 per semester.
That's called Gsuite. And yes you can get living person on the phone in my experience.
Thanks! I did use an HP-55 for quite a while but it was the HP-41 that I really loved.
> 50% of the damage, and usually 100% liable

Not strictly, the driver (bestuurder) of a vehicle (anything requiring a drivers license, also mopeds) is considered a more capable participant in traffic. Pedestrians and cyclists are at the bottom of that food chain. If you hit something in the "lower classification" you have to prove you are innocent and the burden is on you completely. If the cyclist was using his phone, collect witnesses after you help the victim as you are in no way liable if you made every effort to stop and look. (e.g. in a low speed collision, assuming the cyclist made a mistake). High speed collisions are usually completely attributed to the driver as they should be aware of cyclists all the time. e.g. Not slowing down at a crossing (even one with traffic signs) is reason to forgo any rights if you hit a cyclist as you should be aware of any participant in traffic which is less capable (in the protection sense) as you are. Even if the cyclist drives though a red light as you should anticipate mistakes. You are usually liable for the 50% but it is not a given. Always go to court if you consider the cyclist made a mistake.

e: please not that in normal cases the damage is a percentage fault division to both parties, in case a pedestrian or cyclist is involved the minimum will rise to 50% for the other party to cover in case "overmacht" (force de majeure) cannot be proven which is where the "always 50%" comes from. There are however numerous cases in which this has been proven and can be used in a court of law. It will however almost never be 0% for the driver of a vehicle.
(2) actually remains constant. If you use energy to pay for energy, then one unit always costs one unit.

But if the world energy production doubles, do you think that scarce resources cost the same? Prices of e.g. concert tickets or art pieces will adjust.
Actually, all you have to do to dodge inflation is dump your idle currency into literally anything else. Rich people hang in the circles where these plans are made so you'll never take them by surprise. (It'd be interesting to look at Cyprus' banking records and see who would have been impacted had the haircut happened suddenly, two months earlier.)

So inflation is irrelevant for the little guy, and easily dodged by the rich, leaving the middle-class to get shafted.
My assumption is that Intel and AMD CPUs will improve in time as well.
Not an urban designer, but missing from this perspective: transit planning.

Lane markings could work if the whole area is designed for shared use: roads are made single-lane or one-way, speed limits lowered to safer levels (30km/h), roadside parking spots removed both for safety and visibility, buffer spaces around corners and intersections, raised crossings for cars... a lot of cycle paths in the Netherlands have no grade separation and while a little less comfortable, they are still pretty safe due to how the traffic is organized.

This doesn't cover grade separation etc but is a good look at some of those design principles: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2018/02/20/a-common-urban...
I love Typescript over JS, but starting from zero, I think that the type info adds too much cognitive overload for a beginner. Static typing really shines on larger projects with many developers. Starting out it's probably easier to work on a smaller team on projects that members talk about rather than have types/docs for working independently.

But definitely if starting on the JS route, get to TS whenever possible as there are many larger team/project opportunities.
For years, on the infrequent occasions when the subject of "The Crucible" would come up I would tell people, "But there were no witches in Salem."

That's the difference.

Undoubtedly, McCarthy was an odious individual in many ways. That has nothing to do with there being communists in Hollywood, the State Department, and wherever else.

Stay tuned. History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
> That puts Intel at 1.16x and 1.07x for this specific test

That's absolutely amazing result, and shows how wrong the current information in the article is. I hope the author sees what you did and updates his page as soon as possible.
