At least here (SF), everything is crowded. Every single trail, park, you are going to effectively be covered in people, runners panting on the sidewalk an inch from you. It's definitely not signaling and I'd much rather everyone put them on in this case when crowding is the guarantee.

I'd have no issue walking around unmasked if you were out in the middle of the night and you were the only one around, though. But the days are so crowded it's pretty much an indoor environment.
Hack
My question would be where to learn hacking
there are a ton of talented software engineering candidates who have their “10,000 hours” of coding experience, but don’t have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. Many employers are overlooking these candidates to their detriment.

10k hours of real experience would equate to 5 years of professional programming and in my opinion would likely make one an intermediate programmer at least and likely make most education credentials moot.

This however is vastly different from the case of a kid programming from the age of 12 and then attending a bootcamp and claiming 10k hours of experience.

In that case, I would assume the candidate is likely to have no "real" experience in my opinion and I would not hire them over someone with a CS degree.

Yes I realize that there are plenty of counter examples of child prodigies but I sometimes need to review 100 applications a week and unless an application from a self taught programmer with bootcamp credentials and nothing else came with an impressive letter of recommendation, I would round file it.

However if an application came in from someone with 5 real years under their belt I could not care less what their educational background was.

You mean it proved my point?

Mac users had to wait for Apple's permission to do it :)

You generally can't do things on a Mac unless Apple allows it. You certainly can't do them the way you want to unless it coincides with the Apple way. If you don't think so, try writing an app and giving it to your friends without jumping through all of Apple's hoops :)

Next year they'll tell you "Jump higher son!"
> the absurdly time-consuming character generation

Pick a target background, race, and class, and race, spend a few seconds rolling or assigning stats, pick a handful of options from your race, class, and background, and maybe buy a little custom gear (though the default for class and background often has you covered).

5e chargen is usually lightning fast, even with a non-first-level start, unless you are creating your character by doing something like original optimized level 20 theorycraft. Which is probably a waste of time, even if you are dedicated to min/maxing, because someone's probably done the theorycraft you want online and you can just look it up.

I agree without vpn nas security can be poor. There are a lot of open ports handled by obscure applications.

What would be the difficulty with a vpn? Synology has VPN on device. It seems to be a matter of enabling it. Routers also typically include vpn functionality.
Here's the best summary I have seen of what happened in Portland last year (at least, up through July):

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2020/07/20/what-you...

There was definitely some vandalism involved (and e.g. people shooting fireworks at the wall of a fortified building), but federal authorities were incredibly disingenuous in their descriptions of events and justifications of escalation.

Most of the dangerous violence was police-on-protestor.
I think there is a breakdown between how lawyers (and, perhaps courts - but none of this is really tried in court so that remains to be seen) interpret what software engineers mean when they say things because there is a lot of nuance to capture.

One can imagine the client going to their lawyers and spending a hefty amount of money for them to produce the SSPL license in a good spirit, but coming out with something like this which is ambiguous and weighted in favor of the SSPL provider (Elasticsearch, etc.) because when there is ambiguity lawyers tend to prefer ambiguity in favor of their client, not the other party.

Automation of small acreages is the answer.

We are covered for grains, commodities and essentials. But we can maintain off grid homesteads and grow niche and high value crops on small acreages.

Look at all the vineyards we have now, marijuana grows, lavender fields and an embarrassment of riches when it comes to gourmet consumption.

Farming is magical. We convert sunlight and water through alchemy and plant genetics. There is absolutely nothing that compares.
My understanding is that Google promises not to use data in gcp databases, while it openly says it will use Analytics data for its own purposes. But yes, you should carefully consider that!
I consider space stations to be far more realistic than Mars colonisation, which to me seems like a destination that no-one would actually want to go to when they realise that Mars has far lower gravity and far less sunlight than Earth - not to mention the hazards Martian dust. Even if we manage to terraform Mars, it'll still be a tough place to live.

Space stations however - you can make them however you want. I've seen concepts of rotating habits that are so massive that there's no "roof" on the inner-side, only walls to stop the atmosphere leaking out. No idea if that would actually work or not, but it looked cool.

For people without kids, distancing is one thing.

For those with small children it’s a whole different matter.

Guess which group tends To have extra money.

At a certain point social distancing is pointless.

Have a small home with kids? Your not going to keep them locked up for a year without major issues. Us and neighbors eventuality gave up on keeping kids separated.

At home learning in a big house is painful. I can’t imagine a small apartment.

Once kids go back to in person schooling, Congratulations your getting Covid.

A month after in person school started later whole family had Covid.

Not fun, but have had worse. Very glad to finally get it over with.

Kids only had a fever for one day.

Had many friends lose or risk losing their jobs and businesses during the past year.
So for many of them avoiding COVID may mean going homeless.

I remember Counterparty (XCP) tried something like this a long time ago. Not full blown smart contracts, but things like asset creation (tokens) and decentralized exchanges like on Ethereum.

Anyway at the time they received a lot of pushback from some Bitcoin core devs and some threatened to block them over their use of OP_RETURN. Wonder how sustainable Stacks approach is in comparison? Don't know if it works the same way at all - but assuming they write some data to the BTC chain to ensure validity, etc.

You can read some of the drama here -
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/80ycim/a_few_months_af...

I'm mainly curious if the BTC core devs still are apprehensive towards these Layer 2 projects. It is one of the reasons why I thought smart contracts on BTC were a dead end, and why I ultimately sold a bunch of BTC for ETH years ago.

"Possible toxicity of something that we deem safe could be an explanation."

This is a needlessly complex explanation.

Very low physical activity rates are the likely cause.

A majority of men in the US are obese or overweight[1] and, culturally, Americans barely even walk.

Testosterone levels are linked to physical activity.[2][3]

I was going to say I don't remember, but thanks to the longevity of RFC822 email, the thread to do with this is still in my mailbox. It looks like I reviewed the chapter on dbm. I also found, in searching for these emails, that an editor at PH reached out to me in 2008 asking for review help with the 3rd edition. As far as I can tell I never saw that email and didn't reply <doh!>.

If yes then not by law but by said company-wide agreement.
Agreed. Lack of a land tax is one of the largest policy issues the western world has this day. I find it strange how little discussion there is about it though.
I don't know how to increase estrogen levels in normal weight women. But you can definitely lower estrogen levels, by dropping below a certain body fat percentage. In fact, at some point, a women will lose her cycle if she's too skinny and wont be able to get pregnant.

My ex girlfriend had six pack abs, was a very fit person. Probably top 1% of all women. I suspect that my girlfriend was able to achieve her six pack abs for 3 reasons. Had a meat/low sugar/low carb diet, and did a lot of swimming. But I suspect, the biggest reason was that she probably had higher than average testosterone levels for a woman. That also had the knock on effect of her liking exercise more.
That's not a coherent question/goal. What do you want to accomplish?

And yet there are still accounts for torrent sites (@tpb is alive and well last I heard) and other sites that allow for the distribution of copyrighted material.

Something is fishy here, and I really really really don't see the motivation for Twitter to have done this by itself. If this were part of a sweeping crackdown on accounts that promote 'piracy' it'd make sense, but it's not.

Feels more like "a board member has a friend who made a phone call" kind of thing.
I thought this was going to be about how Elastic in their need to grow seem likely to build products that leverage their underlying tech. So if you have a product built with Elastic tech that is in an interesting niche for Elastic to attack you run the risk of competing directly with the organization on whose tech your product is built.

Products that Elastic has built that leverage their tech

As if Mozilla‘s recent Orwellian statements weren’t icing on the cake enough. Or the cheering on of hackers who just dumped Parler’s DB on Reddit with the purpose to dox a good perthousand/percentage of American citizens. Now it’s the otherwise privacy-wise infallible blockchain that is to be freedom-shamed because someone dared to use it as marketed.

These days lay bare the bigotry of the tech- and internet culture.

Decades of championing independence from prosecution, from surveillance, and from corporatist government overreach, as self-styled digital-freedom-of-speech-vigilantes, are now moot - as within a single week all quasi monopolists in the tech world did exactly what was fearmongered all these years - and the same culture stays silent at best because it was downright complicit at worst.

You see for the first time all those often signaled, highflying virtues weren‘t demanded in some third world country but right at one‘s doorstep - and we failed miserably.

Classic dictatorships need massive amounts CCTVs, intrusive artificial intelligence and a party apparatus to run their social scoring to subdue the public.

The west just needs us!
Yes, I could see someone putting forward the argument that the SSPL is so unusable that ElasticSearch isn't actually expecting anyone to use it, and therefore it's more of a marketing gimmic than a license.
The comment you replied to is about right-wing response to the virus.

Still, barring the political stuff (supposing that's possible)—your comment implies that people who wear masks do so because they are educated. I'd suggest that it is far more likely that they do so because they are deferential to authority by default.

EDIT: s/smart/educated
The problem is, SSPL is heavily based of GPL, using the same concepts, and inheriting similar problems.

GPL does not clearly define where the boundaries of a program is, but there is a fair bit of basis in the GPL FAQ and other writings from the FSF that suggesting that in their opinion, if I write a program B, that specifically depends on program A, then program A and B is part of the same program, regardless of whether or not it is linking in terms of C or if it is using it over the network.

> By contrast, pipes, sockets and command-line arguments are communication mechanisms normally used between two separate programs. So when they are used for communication, the modules normally are separate programs. But if the semantics of the communication are intimate enough, exchanging complex internal data structures, that too could be a basis to consider the two parts as combined into a larger program.
>Someone being murdered does not mean that the group formed and stormed the capital for murder. T

Well, I'm guessing that those posting on Parler that they were there to "HANG ALL TRAITORS" and such (there's more and more of this coming out - I'd wait till the court cases present evidence before you claim such certainty no one was planning murder), coupled with the weapons they brought, and the fact that someone did indeed get murdered, will make it clear that some did go there intending to murder someone, despite your not being able to believe it.

If you and your group write some violent manifesto, then attack some place, and someone dies, even if it is not the person you wanted, you will be charged with murder.

Accidental deaths are charged with homicide. The current charges are murder, as in pre-planned killings.

No need to reply. I think our sides are clear enough.
You're describing NAT-PT, which the IETF moved to "historic status" in 2007: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4966

Recent developments like DNS over HTTPS make it even less viable.
It all boils down to this:

a) Should twitter be allowed to cancel accounts who harm twitter?

If yes: b) Who decides which accounts harm twitter?
If the answer is "twitter", then they have effectively the right to terminate any account at their will.
I don't know what other answer is possible for b) except maybe "the courts", and I'm not sure I like that one.

If the answer to a) is no, for which companies does this apply? Must every company work with every potential customer? Who decides which companies must?

Going through the options, I only see viable: twitter can ban whomever they like, for whatever reason, except for the usual exceptions (religion, race etc).

I wish they wouldn't though.
It's probably a rounding error after one considers that there are probably some Americans in Canada, but Canada has three vaccinations (not just 3 doses) per citizen while the US only has 1 and change. It would be a bummer if Canadians were consuming the more limited US vaccinations in meaningful numbers. I'm "picking on" Canada here because while America has a lot of medical tourism from South America, it tends to be out of necessity (worse medical infrastructure and so on) as opposed to impatience.
I much prefer contactless payment with my phone anyway. I usually find it very awkward trying to position my wrist near the NFC reader on the terminal.
Read this with a huge grain of salt. Clearpath is a conservative lobbying organization. In the end they use the article to sell several bills (most of them sponsored by republicans) even if some of the bills it touts (the ones by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio) have nothing to do with lithium but are about rare earth metals instead.
I've definitely gotten the impression that some agencies really get a kick out of feeling like badasses on super-secret missions and the whole thing is just tax-payer playtime for bored cops who want to feel special.

Certainly it's an option in Canada. You call the 811 line and say "I coughed" and they have you in for testing later that day. I've done it twice since March. The only use-case for private testing I can imagine is if you need to schedule a test on demand for a border crossing or other specific situation.
I think just replace this with. Need Engineers
Note: for many of the "weird" things you list, there's _one_ place doing it, not several, like the use of plural may suggest (AFAIK).
> They're very pro AWS.

The author point of view is unbelievable. It's AWS here that's basically "stealing" others work to resell it. But to the author Elastic should have reached out AWS and encouraged them to contribute back. The author didn't even consider that AWS should have stepped up way earlier and offered to contribute/pay back themselves.
