The author claims that RT is a "state-sponsored propaganda outlet." That paints an unfortunate and misleading image about RT programming. RT, for example, is the home of On Contact -- a Chris Hedges program, as well as former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, and "conservative comedian" Dennis Miller. To imply that these people are useful stooges in a foreign propaganda apparatus is rather insulting.

Why would your personal data be safer with an advertising company? Google is amassing personal data so they can charge higher rates for their so-called targeted/personalized ads. With all your personal data residing with a single ad company, it will be far easier to offer discounts to certain people, in-effect introducing tiered insurance pricing. The health insurance companies just want to figure out a way to charge sick people more, and healthy people less so they can maximize their customer base. It won't happen overnight, but then again Google started with the mission of organizing the worlds information. Hah, how often do you hear about that from them? You can barely go past page 10 on search results from the "millions" of supposed results.
Huh? I can mute groups very easily, and it has been possible for almost as long as they existed AFAIK.

It’s cool to see a real lab-on-a-chip that works. I remember reading about these in college over a decade ago, and while they always seemed “cool” from an aesthetic standpoint, there was always a question of what could you actually do with it (i.e. how is the chip better than just basically mixing things in a test tube + centrifuge).
> One is they make your functions colored

This is definitely a good thing. All computations should me "marked" as total or effectful with various possible effects (blocking, async, nondeterministic, possibly non-terminating etc etc).

Reasoning about your program is hard when each computation is a blackbox possibly containing any side-effects which could cause unpredictable changes in the control flow and result in a completely incomprehensible way.

Async/await thing is indeed least sound and ergonomic way of doing this. Monads with monad transformers are a bit better. Algebraic effects are the best in terms of composability, ergonomics and mental overhead, but not here yet (though OCaml may be soon become the first industrial-grade language incorporating them [1])

DisplayPort supports MST to drive multiple monitors from a single output. Your displays may support this already. If not you can get a relatively cheap hub. Here are some: https://www.monoprice.com/search/index?keyword=displayport+m...

I have a CalDigit and a KVM switch to support a desktop and laptop. The setup works just fine with one DP out from the CalDigit, one DP out from the KVM, and an MST hub driving two 1440p monitors. Cabling looks like below. I'm ignoring power and several peripherals.

The only cable I deal with on a regular basis is the thunderbolt from the CalDigit dock to the laptop. When coming or going, that's the only cable I need to care about. I can switch all input and output at the press of a button on the KVM.

Adding to this: BeQuiet cases. You want that internal sound dampening on all sides of the case (so avoid tempered glass) to get rid of any annoying high-pitched coil whine, not just to silence the drone from fans. I have an overclocked 9700K with a BeQuiet case, the stock BeQuiet fans (which are quiet) plus a Noctua heatsink and extra Noctua case fan. After having adjusted the fan curves it runs cool and is inaudble (from less than 1m away) without headphones.
You are conflating Reg NMS NBBO with a broker-dealer’s duty of best execution. RH has a fiduciary duty to customers to (on balance) achieve best ex. And a fiduciary duty means they must act in the best interest of their customers — including putting customer interests ahead of their own. Here RH was clearly prioritizing their own interests ahead of their customers.
you have redirected to a false dichotomy: at no point was fitness ever discussed in this thread.

there are probably all sorts of involuntary health conditions that can be exposed via these devices that trying to make this a vice vs non-vice debate about "lifestyles" isn't useful, similar to how car insurance companies can infer that you go to the liquor store 2 times a week despite the sensor ostensibly being for things like acceleration and maximum speed.

This is moot. Rust prevents data races.
The reason primarily is that they have rolled their own crypto, which based on a lot of reading and comments from other experts suggests is the wrong thing to do.

To this end I havent seen a good explanation from Telegram as to why they have taken this route given there are so many proven & battle tested methods and algorithms. "We havent been hacked yet" doesnt seem good enough for me.

What does it mean to “not be given the rules”? If you set a child down in front of a chess board with the pieces nearby and they are not aware of the rules, I doubt they’d ever figure out how to play even a single correct game of chess. Heck, the child may decide to put the pieces in their mouth or dress them up as make belief characters.

Without any concept of the rules you have no way of even knowing that you’ve set up the pieces for a legal starting position, never mind executing a legal move to open the game.

This is really bizarre.
HBO's movie Fatherland (1994) was filmed in post-communist Prague. They used both matte paintings and real locations (of Prague) to depicts never-built nazi city of Germania.

This use of real-life locations leads to some (for locals) hilarious moments like scene where gestapo tries to catch some man who is running away from them by train. The chase goes from station A to B where the man is killed. But funny thing is that they used just one real station to shoot both locations of A and B and they are actually just some 100m away.

2. On a related note, is the thesis that Americans (as opposed to New Zealanders?) distrust science, or scientists, or the reporting of work by scientists. My observation is the mistrust increases as you go down that list, but it is only the last item that most people ever really experience.

Expanding on "could be guilty" meaning not just "I might be guilty" but also "I might be perceived as being guilty"
It's a mixed bag. Some people (mostly also those who have zero ways of even starting to debug it) seem to have a lot of trouble with it, also on dummy OSes like Apple's, while for me it simply works on a heavily customized Android where a ton of stuff breaks and indeed a lot of other messengers have trouble with it (ranging from Keybase which shows nothing at all ever to Matrix which pops up a notification every 5 seconds for 0.2 seconds "checking for messages" in order to make it work).

It seems not to be a Telegram-specific problem, and I haven't heard from anyone who actually had the issue and even attempted to find what's wrong.
How is it a tax cliff? My understanding is that after you hit 1 million they will start taking 30% of money that comes in after that for the rest of the year.

I used Atom for a year on a break from Vim. I got it working JUST like Vim but the biggest thing missing was a decent Git experience. I found a plugin that was a lot like Magit (the thing I liked most about Emacs). I used that until Atom got a good Git experience. Later I tried the same thing with VSCode. It's Vim-ish experience is just not as good. I'd love to go back and try it with this though. VSC's default Git experience leaves a LOT to be desired.
In fairness, the work on the mobile front has shown a lot and I appreciate that! The android app used to take so long to load (and half the time it would just sit in a permanent loading state) that I flat out didn't use it. Lately it's improved a lot and is 'good enough' for my use case. The phone, at it's core, isn't really the tool I want to use for any long-form writing but it's totally sufficient for referring to documents now.

My biggest "speed frustration" right now is opening a new window in the Desktop app. Searching + navigating to a page within an existing window has gotten to be super speedy, but searching and cmd+enter to open in a new window still has quite some lag to it.

It's not about being guilty or not being guilty. For worse, the police in the US have become (or are perceived to be) generally antagonistic towards the communities they police. It's not a universal truth, but it is a common truth.

Can somebody please explain the challenges associated with miniaturizing and speeding up the ELISA test?

On wiki [0] I see:

> In the most simple form of an ELISA, antigens from the sample to be tested are attached to a surface. Then, a matching antibody is applied over the surface so it can bind the antigen. This antibody is linked to an enzyme and then any unbound antibodies are removed. In the final step, a substance containing the enzyme's substrate is added. If there was binding the subsequent reaction produces a detectable signal, most commonly a color change.

What are the pain points in this process?

This is probably true for junior roles but gets much more important for senior roles or ones where they are testing out your potential to take on greater responsibility shortly after joining.

An answer to a vague behavioral question can make a ton of difference. EG:

Question: Have you ever managed people?

Answer A: Nope, always an individual contributor.

Answer B: No, but at my last job I took ownership of a project that involved coordinating work of 50+ developers, UX people, QA, etc to deliver.

Question A is technically correct and "not a dick" but if the person has it in them to figure out to provide answer B (assuming it's true) they are more likely to get a more senior job and make more money.

I don't think so, there is no context of that in the article. This perpetuates the mantra that cops are an evil force out to get you. In my country, police are quite respected, and the ability to go over to a police officer and ask for help means that a more trusting relationship is built.
How can the US ever hope to achieve police reform with this kind of antagonistic attitude!

Maybe the line instead should be, if you believe you are being interrogated by the police, do not speak until you have an attorney present? Different entirely.

For me, this makes it farce. Partly because the guy continues to do it after learning it bugs everyone else, and partly because of the earnestness around what fonts someone uses in office emails.

My biggest issue with spotify is that when a playlist is played to completion, it alternates randomly between a set of 20 or so recommendations. However I usually don't notice right away, and this ends up polluting the recommendation system at large, to the point that my most-played song of 2020 is one that I now absolutely hate, by it keeps on coming back.
I watched some of one video whose content would be described as a cute cat video. It was mainly cats playing around.

YT’s algorithm seemed to think that I needed to keep being exposed to this, so filled my recommendations with more cats.

Like the parent, it has taken over a year of me choosing ‘not interested’ for YT to stop trying to persuade me that I should like most cats and actively seek to pet furry critters who are different from me.

I’m not sure how it works but I am mad about it.

> The Creative Cloud, for example, installs as root and installs admin-permissioned services.

So don't use apps that do that! Creative Cloud has no business installing itself as root.

I realize that's probably not feasible if you e.g. need Creative Cloud professionally, and that's a perfectly valid reason to leave SIP on, if applicable. Although Adobe and similar vendors still need to be yelled at.

I think SIP—like Gatekeeper—is a great default setting for novices, who should trust Apple over themselves. But if you're a power user, turning off SIP is not going to spell disaster. It leaves you with equivalent security to most Linux distros like Debian.

More importantly, there's no way to have a feature like SIP while also granting users full control. I get really frustrated when I see people say they're switching to Linux because macOS is too locked down. If you want to switch to Linux, that's wonderful, Linux is great! But if you otherwise prefer macOS, just go ahead and open it up for yourself.

Long ago I did. The options ended up being worth less than the paper they were printed on. The upside was, that since I took a very low salary and could do the job of several groups, I survived many layoffs, mergers, layoffs, mergers of the dot-com era. I did not really sacrifice lifestyle, as my work was also my hobby.

I think that most of the time companies offer options over pay, they will get mostly naive people hoping to win the lottery. The exceptions will be if the prospective candidates research the company, its leadership, board members, investors and the success history of all of those folks and determine it is a smart business choice. In that scenario, they may get they people with a good deal of experience. The people with experience will also know to negotiate a non-dilution clause.
