Never mind that the author is dealing with a country that is committing genocide right now simply because some Muslims believe in Allah and not the state.
So because he generates functionally-equivalent output, but in a way that passes some vague moral purity test he's the good guy underdog then?
True, but I think there's a strong case to be made that it shouldn't be. It (further) opens the door to subtle biases on the grounds of ethnicity, age, and attractiveness, and has no obvious upside.
Yes thanks, fixed
Has there been any evidence released to the public that shows how and why the Russians are being attributed to the SolarWinds hack?

I’ve looked at the source code that Microsoft and others have realeased of the initial backdoor but I don’t see anything in those few lines that can positively attribute to anyone.

In fact, the only thing that looked familiar was the crypto that was used to create the sub domains on the fly that hid the victims Fingerprints looked similar to what has been used in mobile malware created by China but that is still too flimsy to attribute anyone to as well.
And none of this has anything to do with anyone's skin colour.
My 350 square foot studio in a luxury building in Hong Kong served my wife and I fine for the first year of our marriage. (A last minute opportunity came up for her to join me a year earlier than expected, and the brand new luxury tower next door flooded the market and made it difficult to find someone to take over my lease.)

The two of us now live in a 700 square foot 4 BR, where we use one BR as a walk-in closet and another as a study. Our landlord claims 13 family members lived in this unit when he was a kid.
I would agree with the revoked pharmacists license, criminal mischief for destroying 10K worth of property, probation, and restitution.

Anything more is bloodthirstily for a crime where nobody was hurt, and likely nobody will be hurt.

Are you basically saying to remove protections from platforms that take an active role in the content propagation, Like Facebook ranking algorithms? If so, I agree that this would be a step in the right direction. But what paradigm replaces the original comment's statement that platforms treat all content as good instead of vetting it for quality? I'm skeptical of how we could have a system that vets for quality without introducing more/other issues. That's what I wanted to learn more about.
Weight lifting is definitely good for you, so I picked that up in my early 40's and I have no regrets (although be careful and learn good form and don't hurt yourself -- stronglifts is a good resource to start with). After a couple of years I can lift just as much as the 20 somethings who are the same size as me. Besides the physical benefits it kind of encourages you to eat better and drink less too.

But yes, Almond milk probably not so much.

Yes, I remember those times! Somehow even the custom build communities have moved away from that. Do you have any thoughts on why? Just because nowadays more fun stuff is available as standard?

Recipes take skill to produce and in some cases significant effort to bring together exotic ingredients. That's not the case for media that can be copied almost effortlessly.

Outside of running restaurants, people who innovate in recipes tend to make money via either writing cookbooks or hosting TV shows. Both of which are protected by IP.

If your minimum thrust is > 1g then you can't hover and so have to use a suicide burn. Manned rocket launches have a sustained 3g force. Rollercoasters commonly hit 5g.

There is some room in suicide burns between what humans find easy to handle and what is possible to make the rocket work. But you do have to think about this.

> I'm simply asking you why you're very bothered by union dues, but not by shareholder dues

I said nothing of the sort. Instead I responded to someone who claimed that unions make me no worse off. And I have described how that is false.

That is the only thing that I have said. Please do not put words into my mouth or say that I said things, when I did not say them.

Can you please stop lying about me saying anything, when I have been extremely clear regarding my original statement?

It seems like you do not disagree with me that the original person is wrong though.

> You'll be better off as a union member, through the superior negotiating power of collective bargaining

Not if I don't want that contract, or if I don't want to engage in collective bargaining, that I am now forced to join if I want to keep my job. There are many things in actual real life examples of union contracts that I would strongly oppose.

And no, I will not accept you talking about some hypothetical union contract that does not exist, where you claim that this non standard union contract, that has none of the bad things that I brought up, would help.

The only thing that I will accept as arguments, as for why unions are good or bad, is actual real life examples of contracts that have been enacted in the real world, because anything else is just a story that someone made up in their head.

And there are many examples of concrete real union contracts that I would absolutely not support.

> Why not give a straight answer?

A straight answer to things that you are lying about, that I did not say? I have already given you a straight answer about exactly what I believe, and that I have made no comments on any completely irreverent thing that do not disagree with what I said.
I was speaking to US unions in general. Your quote matches my understanding of the Alphabet Workers Union as well, which is essentially the same thing as a social club. It provides no legal protections, and Alphabet has legal obligation to recognize them.

That's not to say I don't like like the idea, which I prefer to traditional Unions where participation is forced.

The point of Ethereum is to leverage smart contracts on the blockchain to create a "world computer", ie. a completely decentralized compute layer. Some cool stuff can be done today, but we're not quite at the place where we can build truly generically useful stuff yet.

Ethereum 2.0, which is just starting to launch now and will take another 2 years probably to be actually useful, goes a long way toward making it really powerful as a platform though, imo.
That's fascinating. It sounds like there is some overlap with hypochondria.

I am especially interested in the hallucinatory angle, which seems to be outside the scope of DSM. Is there a mental illness that might explain someone having something akin to a one time religious experience, too real for them to dismiss? If certain drugs can do this, is there any reasonable evidence to demonstrate that such substances can spontaneously be created in sufficient quantity under the right circumstances?

This is from a country that lets its state officials run wild with claims that it was imported from the US army into Wuhan, while keeping a tight enough leash to disappear any citizen when they cross arbitrary lines, and whose official line is now that it came to Wuhan through imported frozen seafood. We'll never know the origins, realistically.
Yes, the yoga ball helps somewhat but it is a training tool not a permanent solution as it is quite awkward to sit on. I've been there long time ago, it was recommended by a chiropractor. I used to have bad issues and was seeing a chiropractor 20 years ago but am doing really well now. As a matter of fact I'm in much better shape in my 40s than I was in my 20s and I don't work out like crazy. It was all about fixing sitting/standing and walking postures then the benefits became apparent.
You seem like you're on the right path or even are in good shape yourself. Leaning on the back of the chair or supporting on the armrests teaches us to sit wrong and while maybe comfortable at the time it will soon start to mess up with the sitting posture. And sitting on the front side of the chair is a good way to sit. Also I find that bringing the keyboard as close as possible to the lap and the body (desk or keyboard extender) promotes good posture. (elbows close to the torso and body straight, head above torso not sticking out front, adjusting the screen at eye level helps with that).
Thanks for pointing this out. I'm not going to read the article.

This long-form stuff is particularly sticky. If the story is told well, you're likely going to remember it as true (or at least credible) even the story wasn't credible in the first place.

This is like someone going "I installed NLTK and it's slow and doesn't support transformers or word2vec!". In fact, I think the author of the article may have actually done exactly that.
“ What the U.S. officials learned during their visits concerned them so much that they dispatched two diplomatic cables categorized as Sensitive But Unclassified back to Washington. The cables warned about safety and management weaknesses at the WIV lab and proposed more attention and help. The first cable, which I obtained, also warns that the lab’s work on bat coronaviruses and their potential human transmission represented a risk of a new SARS-like pandemic”

The point I'm making is that if his business is only possible because of Google, it's silly to ask what his alternatives are.

It's not like he'd have a thriving business if only Google didn't exist. Instead, he's reliant on Google choosing to rank his page highly enough to get traffic for search queries that will result in people clicking on his affiliate links (who he's also reliant on). Google doesn't owe him any particular ranking. If people search for his example "cheap portable generator", does Google have some ethical responsibility to put his site at the top? Or even on the first page? Or to never change where they rank it once it reaches the first page?

For any skeptics out there, take an open-minded look at this article:

https://nerdhaspower.weebly.com/blog/scientific-evidence-and...

It goes quite deep into the genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 relative to existing bat coronaviruses, laying out the case that it is definitely of a non-natural origin.

I am not anywhere near knowledgeable enough to fully evaluate the claims, but I would really enjoy seeing a rebuttal that is as clearly written to make the case for a natural cause. To me the Nature article just says 'nah, evolution is random, therefore SARS-CoV-2 randomly happened.' but it would be nice to see more detail. Especially with the closest ancestor of RaTG13 being decades of evolution away. (not to mention the questions around the origin of RaTG13 on the author's site...)
I've found sparse good for many-columns (10K+). However, for graphistry's graph workloads, we do most scipy-size graphs at much higher speeds via cudf + cugraph. Similar apis, more speed.

Ex: Preprocess many cols with scikit sparse (genomes, many-featured fraud, ...) -> cudf (= gpu dataframes) for most of workload -> infer relationships with gpu UMAP then gpu k-nn -> graphistry for visual analysis.

We're starting to experiment with bigger-than-memory (TB etc) scale via the gpu-enabled dask libs. I definitely recommend trying. If interested in adding visual analytics here, these'll be hitting our free + self-hosted layers soon, and drop a contact method if you'd like early access. Exciting times!

There actually isn’t a reserve requirement anymore. That 10% requirement was removed sometime in mid 2020. Frauds that act like a bank or are a bank can last quite a lot longer than most people realize even if their deposits are lent out, collateralized, or lost altogether. You only know who’s swimming naked when the tide rolls out.

From what I see, USDT (Tether), is still one of 6 prominent stable coins on Poloniex. Prominent enough to be listed first. If USDT stopped being worth $1 for too long, I’d assume the exchanges would remove it. According to this chart, Tether has done it’s job fine through the ups and downs.

Manufacturing requires the ability to marshal human, technological and financial resources at scale. The US policy for the last 50 years has been to invest heavily in the technological and financial capabilities of the equation and outsource the human capability to other countries.

COVID-19 has made it apparent that there are significant advantages to having the operational capabilities to organize human resources at scale. The US, for example, was unable to staff an effective test and trace program even while a significant percentage of its population sat idle or to mobilize healthcare resources to hot spots. Effectively the US traded 300,000 lives because the US couldn't effectively organize 300,000 people quickly.

And that is why you should read the text of the laws that you vote for.
I would think that the perfect setup for that size would involve a queen-sized loft bed, but with a flip-down catwalk so that getting out of bed, you swing your feet down and they hit the catwalk at what would feel like normal floor height. Then steps at the end of the catwalk to get off it.
Then have the steps and catwalk flip up during the day to give good access under the bed. On the underside would be a divider running the length of the bed in the middle, separating the two halves. Connected to that divider would be a good office desk on either side (so two people could work from home yet have their personal space).

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a real advertising push for solutions such as this during the last year. I can visualize it and probably draft up plans for it (when I do woodworking I always do my own plans). But I haven't seen this exact concept anywhere.
Is it at all normal to be spending millions of dollars a year at Facebook and not have a dedicated account rep? Apparently not and that boggles the mind.
Same reason why there is a shortage of toilet paper. Kids are home, everyone needed a printer. I bought two printers since March and have since printed over 1,300 pages of school-related things for my 7-year old...
Perhaps paradoxically the fact that other betacoronaviruses have made the jump to humans naturally, would increase the probability that this was a lab accident: scientists want to study the most likely candidates for a pandemic.
Agreed, but there is a "cheap enough" threshold where that doesn't matter. Netflix was like that ~5-6 years ago where there was all kinds of content available. Today I need Netflix + Amazon Prime + Disney+ + who knows what next to get the mix of content that I previously had in that one subscription. I'm at the threshold of no more streaming services now. Fragmentation can destroy markets. Striking a balance between competition and mergers is non-trivial.
For those who maybe clicked through to the comments before reading or didn't make it several paragraphs into the article, this is a direct result of Prop 22 which was passed on the backs of a nearly $200m campaign by Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies. This is one of the exact results predicted by opponents of Prop 22. Also there is basically no way for Prop 22 to be amended or repealed through the state legislature. These companies effectively bought a law and are already repeating the benefits at the expense of the workers of California. Expect other industries to follow this path in coming elections.
I don’t think there’s any LPDDR4 4266 available with ECC, so it couldn’t use it. The error message probably just indicates M1 supports ECC as an option.
