'Trump is an russian asset' . How can it not be a yes/no question, he either is or isn't.

I dont understand why I need to read few books. What can't someone just tell me the answer to the question.

Let’s ban homophobic politicians from the App Store then. And AWS. And Twitter. Don’t worry we aren’t restricting their free speech, they can say whatever they want in the public square...
Yeah - but they don't have to be much smaller.

Let's use the simple example you reference from the paper.
If we just use the mean as point estimates, then indeed we obtain an extremely low probability that there's no other intelligences:

def prob_of_no_intelligence_in_galaxy(p):
prob_of_intelligence = pow(p, 9)
planets = 100e9
return pow(1-prob_of_intelligence, planets)

prob_of_no_intelligence_in_galaxy(0.1) -> 3.720086311124783e-44

However, there is already a 82% chance of an empty galaxy if the parameter p is halved:

prob_of_no_intelligence_in_galaxy(0.05) -> 0.8225792614407508

Now of course halving every probability is a lot, however now there's no single or few events that have a very low probability of happening. The Great Filter disappears.

I've been watching with some interest, and feel like I don't know anywhere near the whole story. We all look for "good guys" and "bad guys" to make sense of a narrative, but I come away with the feeling that Ms Jones is not solidly in the former camp. One data point I have for this is the way she tears down others who are doing their best work, for example a very public feud with Emily Oster: https://twitter.com/GeoRebekah/status/1344067350216265729

We have some serious work to do. I'm very hopeful that we're going to have a very solid team at the national leadership level in 3 days, after a year of a vacuum, but I'm still concerned about state and local levels. I don't think these types of personality fights are very helpful.
Statistics is one field in particular where it's easy for non-experts to reach completely false conclusions.

Agreed. I do hope they keep USB-C. The one cable that works for all was actually a convenience for me as I could charge a macbook, ipad, and even a samsung galaxy phone all with the same single cable.

> Bullshit. We know nothing and have literally no way to know (only speculate) about anything 10k years ago.

I think you're missing the mark here. Advances in archaeogenetics and newly found well preserved specimens have added an enormous amount of detail and color into the origins of anatomically modern humans, even in the past decade or two. I mean, the stone age itself began 2.6 million years ago, and we found that out through archaeological evidence.
Note that Chinese webdrives will detect and ban "illegal" contents, even if it's just your own nudes.
Ok there might be more to this case than I had originally read. I didn’t know of the other parts as mentioned below :/
The use of Sherpas to open routes is restricted to a relatively small number of the most popular and lucrative routes, usually in Nepal. Most "proper" climbers look down on any notion of routes bring prepared - fixed equipment, ladders, etc.

There are a good number of expeditions of a higher standard of mountain ethics which still happen and still many new routes to claim in the Himalayas. But these are far removed from the world of the stereotype of the type of person who wants to climb Everest who get all the media attention - look up Nick Cienski for a good example of virtue signalling, ego and narcism.

If you're interested, The Alpine Journal is an excellent resource for capturing all the lesser known alpinists doing amazing things with little to no media attention and a tiny budget. Among the low key mountaineers the is even a bit of a culture of not reporting first ascents, due to the bureaucratic nature of permits - allowed to climb one peak, but not one next door. Those in the know, who are looking for a more pure climbing experience, prefer India and Pakistan where permits are easier to obtain, there are virtually no climbers and hundreds of new routes to do in unspoilt valleys.
I suspect the key word there is "she".
That's cool. Either I haven't seen this before or I've forgotten. :)

I do think (as I said elsewhere here) that ultimately people will adopt WebAuthn via their browser/OS vendor. Support is widespread! But for relying parties, there are still challenges to solve.
You can get USB A to C and vice versa adaptors not cables. They are a bit weird in that you cant plug the cables in both ways up but they do work. More convenient and cheaper than lots more cables (and lots of items have captive cables).

I don't see how it's any different from the great filter explanation. It's just great filter with statistical distributions.

Chinese have a story called 天仙配, where a fairy maiden married to a mortal. That girl is called seventh fairy, as she’s the last of 7 sisters.

So it is very similar to the lost Pleiad, but the seventh fairy is taken back by her god father.
I use an MBP for work. If I had a macbook for my personal laptop, I'd still prefer touchscreen for all the use cases above. I wouldn't think I'm the only one either, but maybe I'm wrong.

I don't see what Apple gains by not at least offering it as an option. That way people who didn't want one wouldn't have to get it. I'd pay maybe $150 extra for it. I'd also bet it would outsell the non-touchscreens ten to one.
I use a Yubikey daily and the OP is greatly exaggerating the issues in my opinion. Vanguard for example it took less than a minute to set up. I don't have an "application" installed locally for the Yubikey, it was plug & play. No special software needed.

I honestly think Yubikey type devices' largest problems are -
1. Marketing. People simply do not know they exist or how they work (simple or not).
2. Support - Many websites do not support Webauthn yet. We really need developers and businesses to consider this a priority.

I have bought some keys for my family members and they love them once I demonstrate how they work.
Not a good start.
Ok, yes, what’s your point?

iPad != iPadOS != iOS which was your original modification to the title.

My point is, it’s iPad specific. So iPad/iPadOS is fine here, and not iOS.
A function f(n) is O(g(n)) if the graph of f will be underneath the graph of g(n) for a big enough n.
(If we want to be more correct, then I would have to add that if there exists a positive number c, and cg should be above the graph of f)

So f(n):=3n+28 will be O(n^2), because choosing c as 3, for every n greater than or equal 4, 3n^2 will be greater than f(n).

It would help if I could draw some graphs, but hopefully it helps.
Is it common in the Windows world for you to be able to copy software which you purchased on one device onto another device and expect it to work? Last I checked DRM is still the norm over there. Note that if the OS didn’t do this, you can bet the app developers would be including their own anti-piracy checks in the apps.
Flash loans can totally be (and are) attacked like you describe. In fact much of DeFi can be frontrun. Most commonly it’s large trades to AMMs, where the original buyer ends up getting significantly more slippage than they expected.

The future is likely private smart contracts like Secret (https://scrt.network/)in which the contract’s internal state and the function calls are entirely obscured using sMPC or by leveraging SGX enclaves. This makes it impossible to frontrun in most cases.

Whether an unauditable financial system is a good thing or bad thing is still up for debate.
Even there, though, there are many competing standards. My MacBook has an SD card reader, but I need an adapter to plug the microSD cards from my Raspberry Pi into it. My camera's CompactFlash cards require a USB adapter. To use the high-speed SD cards, I need to bypass the built-in SD card port and use a USB adapter, anyway.

So it turns out it's easier to just buy a multi-card adapter. My computer's built-in SD port never gets any use anymore, not even for full-size, non-UHC SD cards.

We found Vanta very helpful for identifying and managing all of the to-do's (gap analysis). Our initial discussion with an auditor was very paperwork-focused, and Vanta helped us see the gap analysis as technical/process focused (with the paperwork following, describing what we were now actually doing). It would have been much more challenging to achieve SOC-2 compliance without Vanta.

From a cost perspective, Vanta + a Vanta-partnered auditor was less expensive that just an auditor (presumably because the information was organized so the auditor had to do less work to complete the audit).

The Vanta platform ends up being a place to put documents so the auditor can find them (which is more useful than you might think if you haven't done a SOC-2 audit). They offer several Vanta-developed continuous monitoring tools (e.g., endpoint configuration monitoring, AWS vulnerability monitoring), which are not as well developed as independent tools (e.g., Kandji, AWS Inspector) but are convenient for auditors documenting continuous compliance.

As I understand it, they are working towards being more of an integration center for independent tools, so Kandji/AWS Inspector information can flow into the Vanta system.

I just did an ingonito search for "!g ETA",

I got 3 results on the screen

Which all look the same, and seem to charge $99 for the 'service' of filling in a form the Canadian government charges $7 for.

After that there is a wikipage for the Spanish terrorist group, two more wiki pages, then finally

The official site: Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA): How to apply - Canada.ca

Searching google for "Canada ETA" gives the above 3 adverts and also a link to https://www.etatocanada.com/ which charges £69 for the service.

Which of those degrees qualifies her as a data scientist capable of contravening WHO recommendations?

Moreover, she is repeatedly referred to in the press as a data scientist, but all accounts of her actual work are that of a dashboard developer. Having done both myself, I can attest that they are very different types of work warranting very different training.
> Risk. YubiKeys have no password lock of their own. At least my crumby Android has a fingerprint lock to prevent people getting my 2FA tokens. But if you’ve stolen my laptop and the YubiKey is plugged in, then you’ve got the keys to my kingdom.

The key is only the second factor. You need to lose the key *and* have your password stolen in order to have your accounts compromised. At that point, think about what you're doing wrong as a user.

If even that. I think in a lot of cases, it doesn't really matter, and most already allow linking to a library, which works well enough for Python at least, and should be fine for most application development purposes.

Languages like Rust and Zig are just on a different level, for cases where performance or hardware restrictions are the number one concern.

> You keep missing my point. Stop focussing on the specifics of this case, that's not relevant to my argument.

Seriously? You blame me for using the very example you brought up in the first place? Well, that's a new low.

> A shift in society. That is my point. Historically free speech was seen as an ideal to strive for. Now it's considered a bad thing.

Again, that's not free speech. Whether Twitter or Facebook or a random IRC channel lets you post there has nothing to do with free speech.

It has to do with their own internal policies, but they're not the government, and never have been.

Freedom of expression includes the right to pornographic images, but that never stopped Apple and Google from banning such apps; they always had a number of different limits on their app stores. Sure, they've probably changed a bit over time. That...basically always happens with services, especially when they scale up. What works when you're small doesn't always work when you're big.
Regarding videography: professional digital video isn’t usually recorded to SD cards (nor was it ever, ever since “professional digital video” became a thing.) 4K RAW was “too big” when that was what videographers worked with; and 8K RAW is “too big” now. It’s not just that you’ll fill up the card before you’re done a single recording session; often an SD card just won’t have the IO bandwidth to persist writes at the speed the camera wants to stream them in at. (How do smartphones do it? By having lots of RAM for buffering, and expecting that you won’t record for very long.) The SD Forum is always trying to bring new SD interfaces to market to up the total bandwidth; but the needs of professional videography always outpace the implementations of those standards arriving in the market.

What we do instead:

• DSLRs, when used as video cameras in professional workflows, are usually wired directly to a computer, streaming down the wire like a webcam.

• Purpose-built professional video cameras record directly to SSDs (either regular ones, like Samsung T7s; or proprietary ones, like RED’s “mini-mags”) that you’re expected to mount to your computer over USB — either by them being regular USB3 devices themselves; or, in the proprietary case, by the manufacturer selling a USB dock you’re supposed to buy for your editing workstations.

Regarding commercial photography: SD cards have gotten so large — and wi-fi sync so fast — that even the largest RAW photos sync instantly and hardly make a dent in your storage. There’s no real point in taking a 512GB SD card out of a camera.

Keep in mind, integrated ports are only really a demand of professionals when urgent, portable connectivity is a requirement; i.e. when even the time required to find and plug in a dongle would be SLAs broken and revenue lost. This was a true need for professional photography when SD cards were small, as you’d often fill up an SD card in the field and need to “dump it out” onto your laptop to continue shooting (or swap it for another while handing off the first to your editor to establish a pipeline.) Today, it’s not.

None of the other tasks you listed have ever been urgent, in-the-field tasks; they’re tasks where you do have time to go back home/to the office, and plug in an SD-card reader dongle to do the task.
Lots of highly educated people are on opposite side that lockdowns are very unneeded and government is overplaying/lying about the severity including the one who founded most valuable space company.
There is no principle involved. ‘Wall garden’ isn’t a real category’.

People should be able to choose to enter a walled garden if it suits them.

When a corporation like Epic uses the law to take away people’s rights is rarely about principle.

Epic vs Apple is about nothing except Epic profiting from Apple’s work, and removing a relatively safe place to buy software.

At the very least if Epic and Tencent are in fact bad actors, we should be curious about why they are motivated in the case.

It’s not out of altruism.
Ah right, that makes sense, I read your comment in more of a snarky manner before.
> Which of those degrees qualifies her as a data scientist capable of contravening WHO recommendations?

Literally all of her research involved gathering and communicating relevant insights from vast and disparate data sets, which is the role you just described.

> Having done both myself, I can attest that they are very different types of work warranting very different training.

She's educated as a data scientist specific to a given field. No different than a rocket scientist running numbers at a hedge fund. And I'd argue training v. education are vastly different; education gives context to job-specific training.

That's right, but Epic is also in actively working against supporting Linux. Walled gardens are bad, but Epic is definitely not a company that will fight that fight. They just want the iOS userbase. There's no sense in supporting them.

I've had a similar experience to yours. Even when I'm curious and motivated to learn, I find it hard to learn more and improve. There seems to be a lot of assumed knowledge from most tutorials and articles about where to place code snippets, configure things, what ui elements are called, etc. One thing I'd recommend is joining the spacemacs discord/slack and just asking for help on the questions you get stuck on.
In the UK there was a problem of commercial companies setting up look-alike websites and charging a fee to do stuff that is free to do via the correct gov website. It's not as common now, partly because UK orgs put pressure on Google to fix it.

Here's an example:

[change name deed poll]

https://www.google.co.uk/search?sxsrf=ALeKk00J9KQR_SH1ZlvHgi...

For me the top four links are clearly marked ads. (Although some people may miss that [ad] marker). After the ads there are two links to the proper gov.uk website. Then there's a link to a commercial site called "Deed Poll Office", who charge for a services that's free.

In the past that TheDeedPollOffice link ranked higher.

Similar things used to happen for passports and tax self assessment.

Thank you, I was not aware
“Sons of god” is a translation of the Hebrew by non-Jews and is just plain incorrect. It gets passed around as legit probably because it enforces the idea that Christ is a son of God.

But If you ask Jews, who wrote that section of the Bible, benei elokim translates as something like “those who are free”:

“Who or what exactly are the benei elokim? Who are the nephilim? How are they related to each other? And what does it all mean?

One thing benei elokim does not mean is “sons of G‑d.” In fact, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai would “curse” anyone who translated the term benei elokim as the “sons of G‑d.”1 The word elokim in Scripture, while generally referring to G‑d, is in essence merely an expression of authority.2 Similarly, the term benei does not necessarily mean “sons,” but is often just a title. Benei chorin, for example, means those who are free—not “sons of freedom.”
