> They wouldn't write "tried to sell the computer to Jews".

No, because they'd say "tried to sell the computer to Israelis." Jews are a race and Russians/Israelis are citizens of a country.
This is amazing! Will the data be public after it's assembled?
There’s two costs to the US legal environment: Insurance premiums and defensive medicine. It’s in the doctor’s interest to run every test because it’s free to him, but failure to do so raises his risks. So you wind up spending money non-productively and you have a non-zero rate of false positives, unnecessary treatment, etc.

Their national affiliation is the salient point, and there's no way in hell she'd successfully make contact directly with a Russian intelligence agent. They work through civilian operatives, so your replacement would be incorrectly specific.

Your example doesn't apply, because "Jews" is an ethnicity and "Russians" is a nationality.

> QML is commonly used on <1 GHz embedded devices.

Yes, I know as an owner of Symbian 9.x device ;)

But, here I literally means that actual QML coding style stuck to requirement of modern GPU with OpenGL 2.x (GL ES 2.x) even OpenGL 3/4 support.

My laptop has integrated GPU mostly limited to OpenGL 1.x, so all those CSS/QSS animations, which depends on higher OpenGL features, just blows my CPU/GPU into flame.
Chalking anything up to geography or density seems like a reach. Ireland and the UK are islands and are doing rather poorly. South Korea has high density. Canada has low density, but a highly urbanized population. It’s done better than the US which has similar urbanization but worse than the nations that I mentioned earlier.
I'm not sure I'd call varints a stunningly bad decision. It seems more like the kind of tradeoff one would make if storage and network transfer costs are considered to be more important than the serialization/deserialization speed.

That being said, the fact that that particular tradeoff was considered to be good for Google doesn't mean it actually is, or that it's applicable to one's application.
It basically means you need to learn about double descent:

Your model might otherwise memorize the data instead of learning features.

I would like to say, "teach me" but unfortunately it does not work that way. Over time I learned that there are different brain abilities. Some people are blessed with more, some with less, some people have synesthesia some aphantasia.

Anyhow, it would be cool if we could learn how to tap into potential... As I personally think that people who have a more vivid imagination have less fear of death. As they have more colourful dreams, it is easier to imagine "other" worlds... equally as it is easier for a person who seen to imagine colours than those who were born blind.

But I guess, at the end of the day, for the sake of the spices' survival, all those differences are essential as they push as to excel in different fields, and therefore survive.
I think the quote isn't referring to somebody having a direct impact on you, but rather that you have to put up with their immoral behavior (in your view). In a free society a religious fundamentalist has to tolerate atheists.

Drunk driving and public drunkenness laws are mostly practical. They are a restriction on people's freedom before they've harmed other. The laws are preventative in nature and exist to preempt harm that reckless behavior could cause. They're not good for modeling the principles of a free society on, because you'd quickly arrive at a paternalistic surveillance state. The laws are a compromise between safety and freedom.
That's the assumption I've been led to believe by my doctor as well. Doing some searching does show that there's been some discussion of refractive surgery post-CXL, but I can't imagine that putting any more stress on my baggy, distended corneas would be a great idea. >smile<

I'm a little bummed I missed the possibility of CXL. I was diagnosed with KC in 2004, at age 27. I saw a couple specialists at the time, one of whom mentioned trials (in the US, where I am) for a procedure to strengthen and stabilize the cornea using UV light and riboflavin. He felt it was too new and unproven to recommend I explore it.
> live at least five years after diagnosis,

Five year survival rates don't give you much information, because the US engages in massive over testing. You need to know all cause mortality, and the US does worse here than the UK.

The US over tests people and over treats cancer; that costs a lot of money and isn't pleasant for people but it doesn't make them live longer.

If hypothetical Beth dies age 82 does it matter if she is told she has cancer at age 75 or age 79?

What would Bangladeshi villages be like if men could decide, like in America, that they don’t want the responsibilities of fatherhood and it was socially acceptable for them to abandon their families? The society would break down completely. Death and calamity would result, because unlike in America the government can’t afford to throw money at the social ills that would result.

And that’s exactly what we see in places like Chicago, but nobody who is allowed to speak can put 2 and 2 together. Except when Barack Obama mentioned it that one time, which was promptly forgotten.
Counter-intuitively, it is often difficult to reach low latency with "narrow bandwidth" (you mean low sampling rate), because many SDR interfaces are designed to fill full packets with data, not send tiny packets (ex: Ethernet packets). This problem goes away above 1-10Msps.
Ageist how? Who says you have to be a certain age to be a parent or grandparent? Sounds very ageist to me.

No relationship. Just bored on a day off. I am passionate about Covid related topics because I am frankly concerned by the rhetoric around Covid. It boggles my mind that this has become so politicized and opposition is equated with homicidal disregard for human life.

There is also so much sensationalism around Covid that it's impossible to actually discuss. Mask compliance for example. I've heard so many times that if only dumbfuck America would mask up we'd be sitting pretty. Except the US has some oh the highest mask compliance of western nations. People talk about anti-lockdown protests as being pawns for the far right and hating science, yet these protests are not unique to the US or the Right.

Essentially our response to a pandemic has devolved into people shouting memes at one another while 30 million unemployed are liking up at food banks. It's fucking crazy
I think the author sees technosolutionism (TS) as a blind faith that technology will solve each problem we have... eventually. Of course, like capitalism, if the problem is harder or less profitable than another, it will receive less attention than lower-hanging/sexier alternatives and perhaps never be addressed at all, much less to a degree of competence or integration that provides lasting improvement to our world.

That said, I think the principal problem with TS is its essential entanglement with novelty. We are drawn to novelty like moths to flame, often responding with disproportionate favor to the sexiness of the Next Next Thing, regardless of its prospect for real utility (e.g. the Segway...). The invention doesn't have to add significant value; it just has to capture enough mindshare for the inventors to use the favorable press to sell off the business. Then the product is absorbed into a bigger fish's ecosystem where filling a niche profitably, however trivial, is good enough.

The fundamental problem with TS is that its impact is mostly promotional and ephemeral —- that of introducing A New and Better Way. While revolution is sexier, it's much less viable to make lasting impact than evolution. It can't be sustained in an ephemera-based ecosystem driven only by advancing the next quarter's mindshare. For TS to escape the surly bonds of Earth, it has to be driven by more than enthusiasm for the latest cool demo.

In decades past, large firms with deep pockets and long term tech agendas (IBM, Intel, GE) provided persistent inertia to turn TS into lasting infrastructure. But with their demise, I see no Next Next generation firms to fill those shoes. Perhaps the only form of invention left now is TS, and I agree with the author; that's clearly not enough.
Citizens of members states can, for instance, travel through Germany and remain there indefinitely so long as they're financially independent or actively looking for work, but they are not automatically residents of Germany. The two situations, EU member states and California compared to its peer states, are obviously not comparable.

There are clear reasons why individual US states haven't been able to provide universal health care. It's not because the idea is unworkable at a national level; it's because you can't do it state-by-state.

(I oppose single-payer health care, for whatever that's worth to you. I just think the bar Rayiner set for this discussion is silly.)
To be precise, it's implementation-defined whether it's undefined behavior, prior to C11. You are right that in C11, if uintptr_t is used to store the xored value, behavior is defined.

thanks for your interest. I can't at this time, as the research is ongoing. The org would have to approve publishing their name. That's the only part up to them as far as affecting what I publish. The experiment has been ongoing for about a year. I don't think it's anything new, but apparently, if it is bringing results, then at least it's not widely practiced.

I would summarize the idea as "If you can't promise and pay developers "fuck-you" money, at least don't fuck them instead".

I will be writing more on the topic, but I aim for about 2 years for the experiment, as that would be the minimum to establish success in retaining talent.

Well, in salmon30salmon's defence: the mainstream media are completely and utterly missing in action when it comes to COVID.

They only parrot what the gov tells them and investigate nothing these days.

There are countless credible scientists saying that we are getting this incredibly wrong on so many levels yet mainstream media does not mention anything other than government narrative.

When did you see any news coverage of criticism of the "vaccine"? I mean, on a scientific level, not government ineptitude at rolling it out.

Edit: I can't reply for some reason but here's a video talking about the "vaccine"[0] and here's the Great Barrington Declaration[1]. Here is criticism from the BMJ [2] stating that (according to my maths) it's only 19% effective... in addition, it's designed to TREAT the symptoms, not cure you... what kind of vaccine is that?

It is a bit an "elitist" comment in the beginning of the thread. The original comment can easily be interpreted (whether it was intended like that or not ...) as "there's no problem, I'm not affected, easy to avoid" to which the GP reacted "well, yeah, good for you, but other less tach davy people won't do" to which I would append "and they shouldn't have to. We should try to get such traps out of the net. Joe Average should be able to use the net in a productive and safe way"
Good point, though I’d suggest most consumer software, at least office apps and similar needed by the government, are mature enough they don’t need rapid iteration. Most new features being added to them these days are optional at best.

If people are to be judged by the assertions of their jilted former lovers then we are all in for a very bad time.

Any time there is a headline with a very serious and inflammatory claim, like the one above, you would do well to scroll down past the hyperbole and look for the evidence offered (if any) for such a serious charge. The only evidence cited by this article in this accusation of a series of treasonous felonies is purportedly an accusation by an ex-lover. Unfortunately the level of mania is so frenzied in the country right now that rational thought is out the window. Especially concerning to see on Hacker News, where presumably necessary skepticism and critical thinking would be in higher supply.
Same here, I have been running my own domain for 20 years. I have gotten the 'reverse' though... trying to register somewhere using a gmail throwaway account and getting the message that they do not accept free service emails.
I wonder how much truth there is in the theory that insurers are incentivized to let costs go way up and may be complicit in it. Basically the theory I’ve heard is that Obamacare limited by law the percentage margin that insurers can make as their piece of the pie. So then one of the only easy ways left for them to grow their profits in an absolute sense is to increase the amount of money flowing through the system.
This seems unnecessarily mean and dismissive. I have a software engineering degree, have been doing professional software engineering for 20 years and I love JavaScript. There are lots of things I dislike that are written in JavaScript or for JavaScript developers but I like the language.

The thinking in this article also explains the logic behind the solid metal fuel -- like iron powder for example. Basically oxygen reacting with iron (rust formation) results in heat generation.

One important detail around use of hydrocarbons for fuel to power things like cars is that you need the energy to be delivered in a timely manner -- typically within milliseconds of the spark. Whereas something like a power plant could be happy to have just a hot pile of iron metal powder giving off heat for weeks at a time rather than in one massive flash explosion. Using something like iron powder that is in a pure Fe unoxidized state would require some process to get the iron into that state. Likely requiring energy -- so probably the cycle for iron powder power plants would be to use solar/hydro/wind power to generate the power liberate the oxygen from the FeO2 molecule, then transport the iron to the place where it would be used that has poor access to solar/hydro/wind, then use that there.

Anyway, articles like this really do a great job of making people think about things..
My first impression is that this would be really easy to detect. One look at the source of a page using whitespace steganography and you’ll know something is up. Whereas with images and LSB steganography, unless you’re looking for it with software there aren’t any obvious tells.

HTTPS-only is valuable for three reasons. Firstly it prevents MITM attacks that inject Javascript (or other) payloads into web pages which can be used e.g. for DDoS attacks. We saw this with the Great Firewall being used to attack Github for hosting material that was censored in China by hijacking an analytics script that was being served over HTTP[1].

Secondly, it makes passive surveillance and data gathering much harder. You can still track which sites a user connects to, but you can't see which pages they access or the contents of those pages. You can still actively intercept those connections via MitM but that requires users to manually install an MitM certificate on their system so they should be aware when it's occurring.

Thirdly, it makes it harder to intentionally block or break HTTPS altogether at the network level to force users to fall back to unencrypted HTTP. (TLS downgrade attacks are different from and much more difficult than, for example, just blocking all traffic on port 443.) If there's no unencrypted fallback, then users will complain loudly when they can't access sites.

If your main concern is old computers the solution is to use a proxy that strips the encryption.

I do not believe this is correct.

From the OECD, average length of hospital stay across rich countries:

https://data.oecd.org/healthcare/length-of-hospital-stay.htm

We pay more but we generally consume less. EDIT: let me add this comparison of health prices across countries from the Health Care Cost Institute. See Table 1:

https://healthcostinstitute.org/hcci-research/international-...

Our prices are higher.

The US is an obese country, but you will find if you look that obesity rates are similar or worse in (e.g.) Mexico and some Gulf States (I think the UAE though I don't have a source for you).

We are not a wild outlier in terms of measured unhealthiness. Life expectancies here are lower though, despite vastly higher expenditure than other rich countries.

There are important failures on the supply side of the market:

From the OECD, we have fewer hospital beds per capita than most rich countries:

https://data.oecd.org/healtheqt/hospital-beds.htm

We have fewer doctors per capita than most countries:

https://data.oecd.org/healthres/doctors.htm

Failures of competition throughout the market (including hospital consolidation) keep prices high. We do basically zero evaluation of cost effectiveness.

Depends on the network filtering done by the company.

I have my router setup with port-forwarding for the Synergy protocol. Combined with stable IP addresses internally on my network and dynamic DNS pointing to my home network, I am able to use this tool even when the client machine is on VPN.

Of course, it's important to realize that by doing this you are sending keystrokes across the internet, so it's important to enable the option in Synergy to encrypt the traffic.
One of the reasons why a blanket full disk encryption policy and encrypted data-at-rest policy is needed in large organizations. Laptops go missing and get stolen all the time.
I never said anything about loans.

What I'm suggesting is food stamps. Everybody can pay cash. If you can't, you get government assistance in the form of a cash-like subsidy that can be spent anywhere food is sold.

It's a fast, efficient way of ensuring universality of care while benefiting from the market discipline you get from having a (mostly) competitive, cash market. Not to mention, there is no insane "food insurance" bureaucracy. You swipe the card at the checkout line and you're good.
You are welcome!
