Okay, but none of that can have any bearing on the interpretation of the 2003 legislation, since as you say, it was a treaty ratified by the executive after Parliament had already expressed their intention.

If your point is that there is in fact an express importation of the various treaties’ terms into UK law, you need to point to the words in an Act of Parliament that say that. If your point is that the threshold requirement in the first section of Part 2 of the Act that a treaty relation exist actually constitutes an importation of treaty terms, or that an express importation is not actually required for this kind of thing, then go ahead and argue that based on UK statutory interpretation law. The defence didn’t manage it, but I look forward to seeing their attempt in any appeal proceedings. It’s not really obvious how “Extradition to the US is enabled by this treaty” is an argument for either; you’re only really saying it meets the threshold requirement, which was a given. You have to argue based on the words in the Act and UK law first, and your instinct about what treaties should mean second.

Edit: While you’re at it, you’ll have to rebut quite a lot of points about the intention of Parliament in EA2003, when it deliberately omitted the previous domestic implementation of treaties that refer to political offences. Read the judgment 41-63 over and over to see what you’re up against.

You're making some fundamental assumptions about federation that I think are completely wrong. Are you telling me that you never need to communicate with anyone outside of your organization? How do you intend to receive invoices? How will you communicate with outside vendors? Sorry, but you need some text-based way of communicating with people and email is the best way, that's why it's survived so long despite being problematic. If you have internal, asynchronous chat, why would you need internal email?

Sorry my dude, but business runs on email. Saying lets get rid of it is as naïve as saying lets get rid of Excel. It's just not going to happen.
My understanding of these RISC-V vector instructions is that they're limited to a vector register, which probably won't be too big, perhaps 512-bits or so. Compared to the cost of a context switch, the cost of finishing the current instruction should be negligible.

I had a similar experience with my iPhone 7+. I had forgotten I'd turned it off. I picked it up, and wondered if the home button was broken, because it wasn't moving when I pressed it. Then I realized it was off, and had that OH YEAH, it's just a sensor with haptic feedback... pretty amazing!
It did take some persuading. I think the main reason I was able to pull it off was ironically because they're not that technical. I bet most of my friends don't even know what Slack or Discord is. That's not to say they're dumb or anything - they just don't spend as much time online as one would think.

Previously, we were mostly using group texts or Snapchat/Instagram to communicate, so the biggest selling point was the fact that we can share full quality pictures and videos between iOS and Android people.
I really wonder why economical penalties enforced to a country through its citizens or people born there or with ancestors like the USA does with all of its embargos aren't considered just as terrorism. You are punishing other people for something they didn't do just to pressure on their governments. Just like terrorists injuring people. (Yeah I know terrorists usually kill people but I'm pretty sure many people died due to economic embargo as well)

We should do away with names on applications as well. Names can tell me about the gender and often the ethnicity of the applicant, which are both also ripe for discriminating against. With an online application, we can just replace the applicant's name with an ID number and associate the two in some database that the employer doesn't see until the applicant is hired.

Actually, now with remote work, even after the applicant is hired, we still never have to see or hear them at all! We can just keep referring to them as Employee #1672378623, use a randomly-generated avatar for our Zoom meetings, and filter everyone's voice through voice-changer software. Bias-be-gone!

Exactly. My grandpa died and we came back to his house a few weeks later and people were already living in it. Took over a year and a lot of energy and money to get these people out and by then they'd already stripped the house of anything of value and removed the copper from the walls and destroyed everything else in spite. If we had just stormed in guns blazing--we would have been the aggressors in the eyes of the law. Unfortunately, it seems like the laws in California protect the elites and criminals, but not normal/middle/working class people just trying to get by. You're free to shoot heroin on the steps of City Hall in SF, but god forbid you park for 20 minutes at a 15 minute meter.
Based on her previous writing, I suspect that she was talking about Python with a forking WSGI server like gunicorn, not Node.js. Node.js would have the same problem, but to a lesser degree; since it's natively async, you don't need as many worker processes.

It doesn't matter what it was marketed as. It matters what it is.

But they made it deflationary and a good currency needs to be inflationary otherwise you just hold onto it instead of spending it. Which had made it more like a digital gold.

You would be somewhat right, this is known as the landscape problem. Technically string theory has no free dimensionless parameters (by the formal definition, values which need to be determined experimentally).

edit: to expand, the landscape problem is more about finding the right parameters for compactification (folding up the geometry) that produce the universe we all know and love, or at least a realistic one. This makes them similar to free parameters.
That's the 'ol false dichotomy. Sure we can have digital currency (in fact, the dollar is mostly digital already). We just don't have to burn 2% of the American energy budget calculating it via insanely expensive ways, when traditional methods can 'do digital' without that.

It's plausible, and could be proven very easily that this happened. Presumably, some progenitor strain is out there, spreading more slowly and making less of a mess. Eventually, a SARS-CoV-2 screen will turn it up and we'll sequence it. Then we will see a strain that's diverged from all other sequences in the phylogenetic tree, with a common ancestor back further than ~1ya.

GNU Phones suck. You have to drastically lower your expectations and pay more for the experience. For instance, Librem 5 USA costs a cool $2,000. That's $2,000 for a phone with specs comparable to phones in the mid 2010s. To make it worse, you would have to expect near-zero support, and healthy dose of RTFM and DIY mindset along with it.

Thus, for the vast (and I mean VAST) majority of consumers, Librem and the rest of the open source phones were dead on the spot even if it cost 1/3 of their current price.

It's a pipe dream up there with the "year of the Linux desktop".
The majority of people don't see any value in it, sadly.

At least we can hope terminal + tools as separate app bundles approach takes off.

This article does a really good job, IMO, of addressing the controversy inherent in the title and the implications therein.

But rather than just reading the headline, it’s a really well written article on “Gain of Function” research, and the history of contemporary bioweapons and infectious disease institutions. Particularly the funding, beginning in the 50’s, and exploding during the war on terror. It’s simply fascinating.

The desire to place blame, the political implications (plenty bipartisan), the funding — it’s not very hard to see why this subject provokes such strong reactions. But dismissing it out-of-hand misses the opportunity to delve deep into a field that is as consequential as nuclear weapons research.
I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I didn't realize OpenSSL wasn't GPL compatible.

Am I wrong to be surprised that the Linux community is okay with this? I guess because it's still considered open source, and isn't a part of kernel?
It's not just connect based, you have to connect and send an email. Which would be spam. Most systems I've worked on score based on how much your server looks like it's doing its job and moving on.

Connecting without sending an email leaves you in the grey list queue.

There is to my knowledge not a great way to pre-warm for grey-listing

Are there actually any phones for "normal" Linux users?

I've used GNU/Linux as my desktop OS for nearly a decade: Fedora for years, then openSUSE, then Pop!_OS for the past couple of years. These distros seem to have provided a good, current, stable out-of-the box experience (Out-of-the-Box + RPM Fusion and Packman for the former two.)

I just don't enjoy constantly fixing issues on my personal systems, in fact, after work I just want my computer to work. I get some people enjoy tinkering, I simply want my device to work AND provide me the freedom to do what I want if I feel adventurous. I don't distro-hop, and I don't like rebuilding my OS if I can help it. I'll spend a week getting everything the way I like it and expect it to last me at least a couple of years. I use Linux for everything: gaming, writing software, web browsing, you name it.

For as long as I have looked into it, GNU/Linux phones are an absolute nightmare for someone like me. I remember reading an article full of workarounds to get a dialer app to work on some project phone. I just want a phone that works, and could allow me to access root, setup my dot files, and tinker to the degree I'd like. As of now, my only solution has been LineageOS (Android fork) which has a proper terminal emulator with root access by default. As nice as this is, I'd love to support a GNU/Linux Android-alternative, as it's anyone's guess how long LineageOS or other forks will be compatible to the degree they have been in the past.

I can’t speak for Microsoft but certainly at Amazon there was a very strict policy about working from specific US locales for tax liability reasons: it wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn Microsoft employees are quite explicitly banned from ever taking equipment into places like Iran. Would they ban themselves if it did happen? No, but also it should never happen vs. this case where they have an employee working from Iran.

+1 for the 3blue1brown recommendation. Between the two, a non-mathematician can acquire a layperson's comprehension of the Riemann Hypothesis. Additionally, John Derbyshire (of the unfortunate views regarding race) wrote a very good book "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics" that covered both historical and mathematical aspects of the Riemann Hypothesis [0].

My old i5-2500K based build was like that for many, many years. It sat on my desk on top of an anti-static bag (that the motherboard came in). The new graphics card I had, which was a gtx 480 maybe, wouldn't fit in the old case I had.

It took me at least 5 years to get a new case, much to my wife's annoyance.

It was fine. Swapping SSDs was easy. >.<
> For instance, Librem 5 USA costs a cool $2,000.

This is an extremely misleading example. You pay $2k if you want your phone to be produced in the USA. How much do alternative phones produced in the USA cost?

Standard Librem 5 model costs $800, Pinephone costs $150 or $200.

They care a lot about control over credit markets. The entire premise of central banks controlling inflation via the money supply becomes precarious when people are able to issue and access credit outside of the controlled money supply.

You're entirely right that they want their cut, but they also don't want to end up like a country such as Indonesia or Vietnam where all the financing has to be organised in the USA. The US FED can print money during a recession to ease credit conditions; many non-western countries have no such luxury because while they might have a sovereign currency, all the serious enterprise in their country is financed in New York and cities in Western Europe.
Yeah, that feeling still does not go away for me. It really feels like the phone is dead, when it is off / the battery is actually dead
Note that there are 297 hidden items in that issue so you have to click "Load more..." ceil(297/60) times to read all of the comments about how APK packaging is soon necessary for latest Android devices so the termux package manager can't just dump executable binaries wherever.

FWIU:

- Android Q+ disallows exec() on anything in $HOME, which is where termux installed binaries that may have been writeable by the executing user.

- Binaries installed from APKs can be exec()'d, so termux must keep APK repacks rebuilt and uploaded to a play store.

- Termux shouldn't be installed from Google Play anymore: you should install termux from the F-Droid APK package repos, and it will install APKs instead of what it was doing.

- Compiling to WASM with e.g. emscripten or WASI was one considered alternative. "Emscripten & WASI & POSIX" https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/9479
UI redesigns of desktop operating systems are usually opposite of exciting these days. You could be damn sure they'll further optimize it for touchscreens no one uses.

Here's an opinion: desktop UIs are mature. They serve their purpose outstandingly well. The best thing you could do is revert most of the last 10 years of "innovation" and then leave them alone forever. Stop reinventing stuff that has worked well for decades.
For my part, I don't have buy in yet (Because I'm not convinced Matrix is ready) but I think I could get it. I have 7 or 8 friends who do not use Discord except to talk with me and a few other friends that I know can be convinced to at least start using Element next to Discord. Once I feel like my homeserver is in a state that I can invite these non-technical people in, I'll be in the same place.
Andy should be experienced enough to be able to handle non-sugar-coated feedback, unlike you, it seems (based on your comment).

My sugarcoated feedback to you is to please try to refrain from resorting to name calling when disagreeing with another person. It shifts the discussion from facts to feelings and that's typically counter-productive. I hope you'll take the time to reflect on this and attempt to change your approach in the future. Thank you and good luck with your endeavors in 2021 and beyond.

The first technique is challenging because the filter needs to have a specific frequency response, without shortcuts. Such high quality filtering can be done more simply and more exactly with an inverse Fourier transform.

The second technique doesn't seem promising because shuffling is very crude: differently shuffled small blocks are going to have border artifacts, repeating small blocks are going to have worse periodic artifacts, large blocks are going to approximate white noise rather than blue noise. Higher quality would require precomputing blue noise images, losing the advantage of on-the-fly computation.

The third technique, being sequential, is unlikely to be practically cheaper than an inverse Fourier transform.
> Probably no reasonable human being would assume that Quantum Mechanic as we know it is the "holy grail" of physics.

Fully agreed. This, however, rests on the assumption that there is a 'holy grail' in physics (aka a theory of everything). It's a matter of taste, but I don't like that idea that there is a theory of everything because it doesn't seem reasonable that every last bit of our universe is explainable by a single theory. Why would that be? Seems like a conspiracy, if this was the case. To me, it's rather quite comforting to assume that there is something (be it the position and momentum of an electron) which we won't ever be able to understand because it just seams realistic. If this wasn't the case and we could show that there is a theory of everything I would immediately start my quest to find Morpheus to ask him to give me the right pill to wake up.
