Right, but the point is not "are we brutalizing people on a scale comparable to Nazi Germany?"

No, obviously not, by orders of magnitude! But we are doing it and that should be a warning to us. Also the consider that mass incarceration and poverty in America, which disproportionately affect minorities, are brutalization of a different sort.

Again, this is not me or anybody claiming that America is bad, or directly comparable to Nazi Germany.

But, it's our duty to rigorously analyze ourselves and think about which parts of America are good and which parts resemble fascist or otherwise evil regimes. I honestly cannot think of anything more fundamentally good and patriotic!

Just as we hopefully think about ourselves as individuals and think about which parts of us are good and which parts are bad, or perhaps represent the seeds of something bad.

A Conversation with Dan Friedman
So, uh, don't respect robots.txt in your search engine? It's not like there's a law that you have to, and that you can't pretend you are Googlebot. The only real obstacle I can imagine is that some firewalls might be configured to be more permissive with traffic originating from Google subnets.
Agreed. I switched to DDG a few weeks ago as a default. I appreciate the privacy, but for some categories (like tech questions) the results are just... not as accurate. For general queries they're comparable. For searching specific issues, Google is more likely to show relevant discussion threads of the exact issue.

Linking directly to the image file (and in fact a cached version of the full image) is one of the best reasons to use DDG.

Reverse image search is also intentionally gimped, unlike non-US jurisdiction Yandex which is quite good.

It's certainly for legal reasons, not technical, but Image Search has gotten progressively worse every year. It used to be godly effective 10 years ago.
I would agree, up until the point that she bragged about getting people to spread her misinformation.
Street cred!

More realistically, interviewers delve into specifics. Applied to a computer security position? Well, you'll get interview questions that touch those.

You don't have to hide your knowledge - you just have to hide what exactly you worked on at Apple.
I figured out a way to do this in Lightroom using the stacking feature. It's not quite automatic as you need to run a command. Basically, there's a stack-by-time-taken option in a drop down menu and you set a time difference that fits your bursts (which it will save as default for next run).

I use this to auto-stack iOS motion photos with the still version so I just see one item. I set it to auto-stack all media that has a capture time within two seconds of each other. This works for what I need. Sorry, I don't recall the name of the specific menu item. Hopefully, my description is enough to get you in the ballpark (if you use LR).
I think I could deal with monochrome for coding. But these monitors are still way too expensive for me, if they retailed for less than ~1k$ I'd consider it.
Right - I was aiming for something analogous to your rule, which has the condition of even inputs. I do prefer your simpler example. Either way, I'm not sure your rhetorical strategy would be persuasive to someone who was unsure of the parity of zero (because, as you say, zero is an exceptional number).
If the point is security - then it should be virtual machines not containers. I wish QubesOS was more popular.
looks about 10 FPS to me which is indeed very good for e-ink.
Yes, e-paper auto-adjusts. But so do phones if they are set right (best done with a matte screen).
What evidence are you saying is “quite solid”. So far everything has just a been inferred from the epidemiology and the error bars are extremely wide. I wouldn’t call that solid at all.
> She is not obeying the rules of the capitalist market economy; she is not behaving in a way that will maximize her profit. How un-American.

I refuse to concede this point.

Instead, I invoke the memory of Johnny Appleseed, an American folk hero, who dedicated his life to planting apple orchards across the United States, and the American frontier.

Which he did with no thought of reward, in the spirit of fellowship. And we remember his name to this day.

Merry Christmas everyone.
I think my ideal laptop would have a 16" screen like this one, a mech keyboard, and a nice long battery life. Just work outside all day.
Yeah I don't know your situation, although it sound like an intense one, so my observation was more a general one. But you also don't and didn't know the situation of the others in that cabin so your interpretation of how "they misread you" not true either. Maybe that "white knight" was worried that you would get in the way of him getting it on with your ex, maybe scared of not measuring up to you, but couldn't navigate those feelings and acted aggressively towards you by intentionally misreading you. My guess is as good as yours...

The first "gigabyte" multisampled libraries appeared in the 2000's, when memory was even tighter and spinning disks were the norm, so you're underestimating the technique here - it's always been streaming-intensive, and the software is doing a lot to mask I/O latency. A faster disk goes a long way in this respect, letting you run more instances with smaller buffers.

Memory does pose a bottleneck for huge arrangements in the studio, but in the live setting you literally don't have enough performers at the keys for the same constraint to apply. The stuff they might trigger can be bounced out into multisamples, so the remaining bottleneck is with effects processing.

HART (the light rail system they're building) is a complete disaster, for the same reasons.

I can't see the government there being able to handle much of any major infrastructure project. The airport expansion is moving at a glacial pace as well. And it's a miracle the H3 ever got built.
There is some other point I heard recently on Twitter - the appearance of new variants with increasingly faster speed of spread (BTW, if anyone remembers, there was a mutation in Australia, which had shorter incubation - 8 HOURS), may quite soon cause rise of true strains, and, it might potentially lead to the ADE, when suboptimal vaccines will make disease much worth instead of easing it.

It would be great if Google had a little "hide this domain for me permanently" next to every search result. Not only would it improve that user's own search results, it's a very strong signal that other users also might not like it, for de-ranking purposes.
What is typically called ‘ethernet’ is actually a family of interrelated protocols. Correct implementations are costly since they require quality components and fine-tuning between hardware, firmware, and software levels.

Most consumer products just use generic components that some factory negotiators were willing to offload for cheap. The high end products with megabucks contracts are the ones capable of hitting guaranteed reliability targets.

Apple, like for most other components, is the only big consumer brand that consistently uses something better than whatever was cheapest in Shenzhen. Even business oriented brands, like Western Digital, Brother, etc., have been cutting costs in these areas recently for their cheapest lines. Boutique smaller brands like CalDigit, Lacie, etc., who justify their premium pricing with quality, also usually puts effort into doing it correctly.
I feel we (US) should absolutely be closing the border to the UK, Japan, Italy and whoever else has the new strain/variant. Why would we wait on this when the evidence suggests the new version is more infectious?
The tiny tweak behind Covid-19 vaccines
They're pretty old. I remember when Google added an option to block domains (the option you want) around 2011 and they were the first thing I removed from my results, along with Wikipedia mirrors.

After the option to block domains was removed around 2014-2015, I rarely came across those anymore, but it seems they're back...
I’d love to be able to block a domain from showing up in my search results.

Pinterest being an obvious offender, but I can imagine people wanting to block certain news sites, or Fandom/Wikia sites, or all sorts of link farm spam sites.
Thanks for the explanation. Sometime pragmatism has to overcome idealism/semantics to keep things moving.
Soo hard to get a ticket. I was there for 35c3. Worst part is that since you don't know if you will get a ticket or not and you book hotels/flights only after you nab a ticket, you are paying increased prices vs booking far in advance.

Defcon has CCC beat in this area because you know you will get a ticket at Defcon. On the flipside, Defcon 27 last year was a complete mess because there were so many people. It was more Linecon than Defcon. However I am thankful to DarkTangent and his crew's efforts. The Goons did the very best they could and I am glad they are still doing it.

At 35c3 I got totally ripped off by Leipzig Taxis and my hotel which was cheaper but further away and not on the train path(at least easily).

Was it worth it? YES. Was worth every last penny. I am so thankful to the Chaos Computer Club for their efforts in putting on such an amazing event year after year. If I manage to make it back there again I will be volunteering as an Angel. I just wish it was cheaper to make it to Leipzig from the US but I understand that they are stretched to the gills in terms of capacity.

I heard a rumor that they have already maxed out capacity at Leipzig and there is no bigger place in all of Germany?
You already have residency rights, you don't need the scheme, and you are fortunate you don't ))

The absolute minimum costs of immigration paperwork for UK for a couple is £20,000, and that is only if you are your own lawyer and can perfectly understand all the regulations, which change every year, and don't make a single mistake in several hundred pages.

It costs £3,120 for NHS surcharge for five years, almost 2K for Tier 2 Visas for 5 years. That's the cheapest kind of Visa there is, with your employer sponsoring you. Then you are eligible to apply for permanent residency, which takes ~£2,400. Then you can apply to citizenship, which takes another ~£1,500. There are also costs of language proficiency test, and then 'life in UK' test where you have to know the height of the London Eye in feet, etc.

You will need a lawyer to explain something at some point, or help you put documentation together, so £30K is more realistic. Amongst the things you have to prove is that you have a 'genuine relationship' with your spouse, and you demonstrate that by providing your What's App chat history, and pictures.

My path was moving from Russia -> EU -> Britain, I had to apply to entrepreneur visa, and the application I sent by post was ~400 pages of forms, bank statement, letters, etc and weighed over a kilo.

It was also a massive headache, so a scheme like this would be very valuable. However, these are not the kind of decisions people make on a whim, so running it for 90 days doesn't make sense to me.
"When automation comes around"

Fact is we are very far away from that, and just where do those who want to be "rid of unproductive people" expect them to go?

Most won't be productive, and one would think they have something to say about all that.

And what they say and how they say it won't be pretty, unless there is a reasonable, human answer to these kinds of questions.

We are all in this together. "Those other people" are humans, same as anyone and the meaning of "productive" can, does, and should vary widely.
Software engineers are not Engineers if we use the strict definition of Applied scientists.

Presumably HN mods resubmitted this through the second chance pool (which treats an older submission and its comments as if they are new, but in some places that magic leaks ;))
Even if the AI identifies many people, there still have to be humans checking them out. The limited number of humans may have more time to check each suspect out than they would have without the AI, because the AI takes over some of the work.

Humans can be aware of the limitations of "AI". It's very rare that somebody drives into a lake because of GPS failures.

Concentrating contact tracing resources on cases of the new variant, where they'll do more good than applied randomly on all Covid cases. Targeted local shutdowns in locales where the new variant appears to have gotten a foothold. Enhanced screening of people with recent ties to the high risk areas. All the stuff we did, or should have done, for Covid itself when that pandemic was in its early stages, but with focus on the new variant.

And sure, border closures too. They're late in that the new variant is probably present at some level in most of Europe. But the fewer cases you have to start with, the longer it'll stay contained at low levels. You might even be able to contain it entirely for a while. All the cases of B.1.1.7 in Denmark (0.4% of their sequencing) appear to be part of the same cluster. They should be able to manage that much better than if the variant was being constantly reintroduced by travelers.

For the UK specifically, they're doing a bunch of things differently for their Tier 4 level vs. Tier 3, which was introduced specifically in response to B.1.1.7. Are you suggesting that all of those measures should have been done everywhere anyway?

In x86 (intel notation) you can also:

add rax, rbx

rcr rax, 1

It explicitly uses the carry flag from the addition as the top bit of the right-rotated result.

Not super useful for anything other than averaging two uints but that's x86 for you.

What I missed in my first pass was

* Forgetting exactly which register was the low index and which was the high index
* Underflow if array size was zero from setting the last index to (size - 1)
Abundance is relative. The berries may sometimes be locally abundant, but they aren't available everywhere in the world unless someone does the shipping. Shouldn't they be paid?

It seems like you need a small, isolated population to have abundance. When there is trade, it becomes a cash crop.

Apple devices have the same issue. Any device running iOS 8 or lower can’t connect to tls 1.2 sites which is the majority of the internet.
I remember when I was doing live sound that my mentor would switch out EVERY battery in the microphones EACH show for fresh ones. Those batteries were probably still 75% charged after 2-3 hours, but the risk of accidentally having a battery you lost track of dying during a show was just too high -- easier to replace them all. Ultimately not that expensive in the scheme of things.
It's only a matter of time. Here is a glimpse on how it could look like: https://youtu.be/AvLbGDDUI3I
The problem with issues like the ones you describe is bad management. Like they may reward their police officers based on the number of arrests or "tickets", not on actual real problems solved.

And the data issue is there whether you allow "AI" to analyze the data or mere mortal humans have to analyze it.

Advantage of AI may be that you can fix mistakes ones and they are fixed forever (like, let's say, an unjust bias against black people), whereas humans tend to fall in the same traps over and over again.
Some things are more complicated, and some things are less. RESTful resources which seem so core to Rails were not part of Rails until 2.1 I believe. Also Bundler and the Asset Pipleline while having some growing pains really did solve significant problems of early Rails apps in production. Personally I still prefer the old school ujs patterns over the new JavaScript but I’ll still a request/response proponent so I may in the minority there.
There must be some very special political reason for keeping borders with UK open, so even Fauci seem to approve it. I wonder what is it?
Python will reclaim/reuse tuples sometimes, but I'm unsure if it will fully "intern" them the way it does for ints (and java does for some strings).

Regardless, even if that optimization is present, the overhead of checking and deduping the tuples against the intern cache as they are constructed after the split operations would likely be considerable. Indexes would likely remain the very fastest strategy.

An optimization theoretically exists which could make tuple splitting as fast as index accounting (representing split results as slices/views into the original tuple), but I do not believe python does that, as it would cause unexpected memory growth in some situations, unless accompanied by a very specialized garbage collection scheme.

I would think the site owner’s cost of being indexed is the same for every search engine that indexes the site.

The benefit varies with the quality of the search engines, and that will vary between search engines, but it does get larger the more a search engine is used, so a cost/benefits analysis may show Google and a few other large ones are the only ones worth supporting.

Well, the preprint (https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/reports/uk-novel-vari...) from the UK has this:

>Third, we modelled increased susceptibility among children (aged 0-19) by assuming they could be as susceptible as adults (aged 20+) to infection by VOC 202012/01 given exposure.

Basically they applied their own model on a lot of noise and data and assumed certain things. It's wild were we are at this point after almost 12 months...Can't wait for the retraction of this, but by then the the harm will be done, and no one will care about the fact that most of the papers on COVID were just bad, rushed and eventually retracted, but the harm and panic they pushed out are already there and we will never be able to get over some of the things that they claimed.
People appear to be expecting there will be "weaker" variant/strains/mutations of this virus as time goes on. I am not sure why this is the mainstream thought.

Shouldn't these viruses get selectively better at fighting human immune systems? And we're throwing 750.000 new hosts to this virus worldwide every day.
No, even by that definition, most COVID restrictions are no more totalitarian in nature than existing health and safety codes. They’re more intense and broad restrictions, of course, in response to an intense health crisis, but they’re hardly different in kind than existing regulations. And yes, I’m sure there are exceptions.
If the redox developers walked away from plan 9 thinking that "everything should be a URL", it seems to me they've completely missed the point.

plan9 is all about composable namespaces, and everything being a sort of polymorphic file path resolved by how the resolving process' namespaces have been arranged.

URLs pull what are really site-specific/usage-specific implementation details up into the path, where they really don't belong when viewed through a plan9-colored lens.
