> The content is made by people, just like physical things are, if they don't get paid, it doesn't get made, it's that simple.

This is patently not true. Maybe it's true for a subset of the high end content like Netflix series, but the vast majority of creative content e.g. music or paintings are not made with the primarily goal of being paid. Some good examples are how Myspace gave way to thousands of artists, the works on Deviantart or how Open Source is made by volunteers.
That is hilarious, they're actually going for the whole recording consent angle. Jesus Christ. VICE has always been sensationalist and desperate, but this is a whole new level.

Look into Orthotropics and Mewing. Oral posture does wonders. The jaws should grow forward, not be retracted by braces and extractions. There should be enough airway space. Look for airway-focused dentists for treatment.
Ticket walls are an unfortunate outgrowth of continued management incompetence in software development.

Unfortunately, once it starts it spreads like the plague, and combined with defensive internal service monopoly empire building, results in anything being done taking 10x more as a task passes through a half dozen first layer and who-knows-how-many second layer ticket walls/SLOs.
I'm afraid that the radius, not the diameter. The diameter of the airy disk at f1.6 for 500nn is of 2 microns, and for a line pair you'd need double that, not a single, so a line pair would fit on 4 microns. Over an 8mm sensor that's 4000 lines, 2000 line pairs. Note that even here contrast is reduced by diffraction as we are operating from the first null. If you use the Rayleigh criterion and relax your standard for resolution you're at 4000 barely distinguishable line pairs. IIRC that would 4000LP at MTF15, so at MTF50 you might be at around 2500-2600?

And this is of course the very best you can do at 26mm equivalent focal lengths, if you want a tighter or wider shot your image quality degrades because once again the optics don't fit and you'll have to reduce your f number.

2000 line pairs in perfect conditions is quite low. Better is expected from cheap DSLR zoom lenses.

How to spend money for maximal happiness
I don't think so.

Primitive proto-life has little moral value, just as vegans eat plants, hypothetical super-vegans only eat blue-green bacteria, and hypothetical hyper-vegans have a 500 year deadline to be electrically powered.

I don't believe in a hard barrier between life and non life, so any discrete moral function would be non-computable, and therefore I reject it outright.

In addition, at least here the taxes and fees add another 10 to 15 percent. If the house does not increase at least that much in value within the time you live in it you lose money, plus the trouble and work of buying and selling.
I still don't understand the underlying argument to be honest.
That's basically where I am with streaming sites. Exert minimal effort to find version of mediocre quality, let it run for a bit and then decide if I want to actually pay for the content or just stop watching.

The other big thing is that the illegal streaming site has everything. So part of the whole "Okay I want to actually pay for the HD version of this" is "Okay now is this on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, or...?"

I've honestly mostly just gone back to dvd.com. It has everything (except for digital only stuff that never got a Bluray/DVD release), you can actually get 5.1 or 7.1 sound, and since I live 45 miles from the San Jose facility it's 1 day shipping.
It's good to reflect on your career and whether it brings fulfillment, and in your case, it sounds like your advice makes sense.

However, pivoting to something you think brings happiness is not always a great advice. It's worth mentioning the "So Good They Can't Ignore You" book by Cal Newport, which basically argues (I give you my simplified interpretation, I might be botching it) that happiness comes when you become very good at something, and changing careers in the pursuit of happiness will make you be less good in something and in extension, also less happy.
If everyone had more money to spend on food, then food would be more expensive. People having more money doesn't generate value, it just drives inflation.

But the quote you are replying to makes no sense anyway. It doesn't "cost the economy". This is that same old fallacy that says if the economy has "grown" and there's more bits of paper moving around that we are somehow better off. If anything a bigger economy just means we spend too much of our finite lives trying to make sure others don't get more than we do. It doesn't correlate to a better way of life at all.

Turbo uses Ajax for most of its functionality too. The WebSockets bit is an optional add-on if you want to push updates from the server e.g. for notifications.
It's sad how true that quote is.

The average person votes on rhetoric not actions, like voting record. All you got to do is give them a reason to vote for you, and it helps to have an excuse for your actions to prevent political attacks (like the quote above) and your voters will turn a blind eye to everything else.

I see this sentiment repeated often, but what does it mean exactly? The government has borrowed from SS, for example, since its inception in the 1930s. The entirety of SS assets are held in government debt and all efforts to diversify these assets have become politicized as "privatizing SS".

So on every single thread about apple's walled garden when someone suggests that Apple should allow installation of 3rd party apps, everyone immediately goes "oh no, now my mother/father/grandma will install some dodgy app and it will steal their data".

To which I say....have you seen how complex the process is on android?? I can't imagine that that is going to be a problem. They will be just sent a dodgy website link that will steal their bank details, not some app that most people won't figure out how to install.
This is a bit of a non sequitor. Parent didn't mention polygraphs, and the lying is which prevents you from moving forward. At the same time, I concur that polygraphs are not fully accurate measures of lying.

On one single movie, no, but the expected revenue for a movie informs their negotiations (and the demand for their services). The reason high tens of millions of dollars are spend on VX for blockbusters is because they make a lot of revenue.
But then you should just fork it and add it back? Isn't that the point of the whole custom ROM scene (Lineage, Mokee, AOSP etc.)? Adding features and support for phones.
It's the same crowd that keeps telling us that we shouldn't want root on our phones. It's better that some corporation somewhere has root to your phone, but not you.
OOP is merely a way to arrange your code. There's no magic sauce, it's just topological distortion without deep semantic significance. In other words, there isn't really a difference. Maybe the code is easier to understand in the OOP style, maybe not, but that's in one's head.
There's no single structure that all random strings fit, but most random strings have an accidental structure. You can abuse this property to remember strong password simply streamed from a CSPRNG.
What is "cheating" exactly though? Isn't that also culturally specific? Like why shouldn't the collective benefit from the work of a few, if the few are willing? That was certainly the attitude of students of many different cultures when I was in college. Many called sharing work "cheating" I'm certain they saw it as "stupid not too" and "helping their countrymen".
Apple most definitely won’t keep Rosetta 2 around forever because they want developers to release native apps. Apple doesn’t care if you can’t run an app that was last updated in 2010.

I'm sure actual physicists have a thousand observations that prove it's not a possible explanation.

But to me the concept is interesting in that it explains why there's time dilation, reference frames, warping of space, relativity, MOND, etc without any magic - epicycles that only exist from the viewpoint of speed of light being the center of the universe. They can never be reconciled with quantum if they don't actually exist.
Sleep deprivation to provide "realistic combat stress" is a goal in military training. Also giving the trainees 30 hours of work to do per day is a realistic although brutal way to teach prioritization. Certainly, after graduation, most officers are going to use radio procedures or legal processes or excellence in first aid is expected a lot more than calculus on the job.

Personally I thought army basic training was OK other than not having a full nights sleep for two months. Certainly I could never pass a calculus exam on a couple hours of sleep over the past weeks. It really is amazing how unproductive humans are after a couple hours of hard work or even just ten hours sitting in a chair.

Also your job assignment for officers is given based on your GPA and your GPA will be based on a curved test. So its not that cadets are accepted in a grueling process and then it smooth sailing, its more like the grueling process just begins and whomever high scores the calc test gets branched Aviation in three years whereas the guy at the bottom of the calc test gets Chemical corps or ADA (supposedly the work-life balance of ADA is the worst in the entire Army...)
Git clone: a data-driven study on cloning behaviors
I'm sure that, given the right incentives, that 'objectively very hard problem' would be 95% solved very quickly.

Of course there are corner cases that are really hard, but that is no different than audio/video recognition, where a 95% solution (that also has many imperfections) gets forced on users anyway.
The one performance concern on distributed systems is on data coherence. You optimize it, and treat anything else as relatively free.

Rendering (or anything else that you can choose to do on the server or the client) has no impact on data coherence. Thus, as optimization goes, it's something you care about less than nearly anything else.

By the way, I have seen my share of really horrendous code though my life. Only twice I have seen something that isn't data coherence being a bottleneck to anything. Both times were really stupid bugs.
If you're used to SPA-style frontend development with React, Vue, or any similar framework, then yes, this will probably be a big mental/development shift.

Turbolinks (the project at Basecamp that Hotwire grew out of, now it seems it's called Turbo Drive) was a way to bring single-page style load times to traditional, server-rendered apps. Hotwire is the evolution of that: Turbo Frames let you dynamically replace certain parts of the page on the frontend, rather than having to throw the baby out with the bathwater on every page action. If you're used to developing server-rendered applications without much JavaScript using Ruby on Rails, Django, or a similar "batteries included" backend framework, then you'll be able to add a more dynamic feel to your web app without much of a mental shift: certain template partials (basically the components of your frontend) will be wrapped in this `turbo-frame` HTML tag, which will be slotted in to your page dynamically by Turbo.

>> and explores/tests the "system" of magic in more depth.

I particularly liked the section where Harry is trying to find out how magic "works". He starts with the gross physicalities: the materials the wands are made of, the sounds of the recited spells. He ends up with the mathematics underlying physics, learning how to create new spells. He uses his new found knowledge to create a very powerful weapon spell he uses to kill a mountain troll. If you want to know how the spell works, you'll have to read the book. I highly recommend it. (I've read it more than once.)

Even with this in mind, conglomerate bills are only an enabler of this bad behavior. The underlying problem is the back scratching in the first place, I'd rather bring it to a head and force the politicians and their constituents to resolve the underlying problem than to just let it continue unabated forever.

Sounds like Google Play is treating Tor Browser like any other app. Randomly rejecting every 4th or 5th release of a long standing app for some random minor reason.

I get they need to keep trojans, spyware, adware, etc out of the store, but as a long time app developer it just seems like the algo says, "We have not rejected this app in a while, so let's do it this time."
You know, there is a rule about presuming good faith. Accusing me of "giv[ing] them up to the lynch mob" is not that. Knock it off.

Here's the issue, either you're advocating for something useless, or for the suppression of speech.

On one hand, you have the idea of criminalizing violent responses to unpopular speech. This is completely superfluous; we already criminalize violence, what will adding another law do, really? The theory might be that it'll dissuade action, but someone furious enough to literally lynch their neighbor over speech isn't rationally balancing the pros and cons. "I strongly disapprove of this and therefore I want whoever does it to be locked up forever" might feel viscerally good, but we know it's a bad way to run a country.

On the other hand, attempting to protect people from non-violent responses involves the suppression of speech based on popularity. You might have the right to say whatever you want, but I also have the right to tell you exactly how I feel about that. You can't abridge my legal right to say that because I happen to be in the majority any more than you can suppress my speech if I was in the minority. And if my push-back to your original speech is noxious in its own right, then maybe I'll suffer social consequences for my own speech, as is completely fair.

Oh, and remember that any tool you give the government might be abused. We're already seeing local cities trying to pass "hate speech" laws against anti-cop sentiment, which is probably not what the original authors had in mind. The path between "we need to suppress the mob" and "my political opponents are a mob and must be suppressed" is very straight and very short.
Thanks. The response is quite enlightening.

It seems most people still hold their love for coding or what spawns from that coding. It is the environment in which they code, that creates most of the frustration (and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon).

I wish you the same luck.
Given all of the problems of our world regarding energy, a public smear campaign against undefunded unproven technology which looks like one of our only potential options for improving our situation seems like an odd direction to place your effort.

Quality Is an Environmental Issue
A very good point! Presumably the appeal of a system like this is the potential for graceful degradation where if sockets aren’t working or some requests are failing then the default html behavior should still work: links will just take you to the original destination, but there’s no indication that this is actually what happens.
Frink! https://frinklang.org/ sounds exactly what you want. It has built in bignum support and mathematical functions. It also does units and their conversation natively.

It runs on top of the JVM so there's an Android port also. The Android app appears as two icons. One as a simple calculator and the other as a simple scripting editor for more complex requirements.

> They don't care about paying artists more

They are like any other corporation in not wanting to pay more. My employer doesn't want to pay me more. No one has yet used that as a justification for taking our product off the shelves and sticking it into their backpack.

> they don't care about working to provide a platform to curb piracy

That's usually where the 'tying in knots' comes in.

"Why should I pay for a huge package when I only use a few channels?"

"Why should I spend all this money for individual channels, they should put it all in a single package"?

"They don't pay the artists enough so I'm helping the artists by taking a stand."

It's no longer plausible that these entities do not provide the right platform. Every platform provided just produces a new set of justifications.

I'd be curious about this. I think what would make sense is to write a V4L2 driver for it, then any app that uses V4L2 could use it (on Linux). Or, is it far easier to write an OBS plugin than a driver?
Rethink your thinking.

NATO was preparing for Russian attack through North-Eastern Europe effectively since its creation, and been keeping new Baltic members under spotlight for the last 20 years. At least, these countries will fight — something that is not so certain about countries down south.

Where NATO needs to look now is its soft Southern underbelly. You now have a lot of weak, assorted statelets, ripe for the taking there. None of them will stand even a single tank division.

I don't care about the samples; I care about the detection/non-detection rates in a historical, logged, public-record context... who detected what, when, but perhaps more importantly, who didn't detect what, when?

In fact, if VirusTotal doesn't do it, perhaps in the future I'll create a website -- send a file to VirusTotal AND create a historical public record about what VirusTotal said about it at that exact point in time.

VirusTotal already does the first part; I want it, or some third party, to do the second...
