lol, by authoritarian you just mean "not leftist".

The UK is far more authoritarian than anywhere in Eastern Europe, arresting thousands of people for speech crime every year, refusing to allow the registration of opposition political parties, engaging in massive surveillance of the population, illegally jailing political dissidents etc etc. Did you advocate kicking us out?

No, of course not, because it's done in the cause of liberal globalism (people are jailed for saying things that offend left wing victim groups, the people surveilled are "right wing extremists", the parties refused registration are "far right", the dissidents jailed are "right wing populists" etc) so people like you have no problem with it.

I mean you literally advocate "punishing" countries that fail to submit to liberal leftist ideology, and say the EU needs more "shows of strength", you're not "anti-authoritarian, you're just a left wing authoritarian.

But yes, go ahead and kick them out, they'll be lucky to be free of the EU's subversion of their national cultures.
I’m the founder of a company called Impira (https://www.impira.com/) which specifically solves this problem. We don’t scan the documents for you, but we do solve the other steps you mentioned. Feel free to sign up on our website or reach out to me (info in profile) if I can help think through a solution!
Nice.

If you, like me, are blind as a bat may I recommend `Xcursor.size` as well.

Anyone know how to get mouse cursor comet trails in Linux?
I have to disagree on that one. because in practice, the difference between min and max would be several order of magnitudes larger than 10. (IMO)

I did consider mentioning average or median, but of one self over different times rather than comparing different people.

As others mentioned, 10x is symbolic not to be taken literally, and I have not done a study to feel comfortable with the number 2.5x (as I said, I personally don't agree with this number)

btw, I'm looking up that study. do you mean "Peopleware - Productive Projects and Teams"?
I’m also curious about resale. Batteries degrade and a good portion of the vehicle’s value is the battery. Right now the resale is quite good on EVs, but I don’t know if that’s attributable to the novelty of EVs or some other factor that won’t last ten years. Perhaps someone who knows more than I do could weigh in?
liberalism is the definition of cultural degeneration lol.
But this wasn't a pump-and-dump, and it wasn't misinformation.

I have lots of shared experiences with my parents, but there is no bridging our moral/political divide. The assumptions they use in their model of the world, as well as the data, are completely inappropriate. At least to accomplish my goals.

I think unless conversations agree on the assumptions and agree on the data sources and data itself, and even the logic, it’s going to end in disagreement. My parents can hold conflicting viewpoints simultaneously, in sentences one after another, and have no problem with it.
How a civilization would expand at the speed of light? Unless it lives directly on the fabric of space or something like that, matter is discrete in the universe. You settle on planets that are not everywhere, or in space stations built with Oort cloud or asteroid belts materials, but it takes time to settle and expand in each new ground you get. You are not talking about the speed of light anymore there.

Of course, here I'm trying to think like an alien civilization that is far ahead from us in technology and scientific knowledge, besides having an alien way of thinking, but the same goes for the article.

In any case, if that is like any disaster spreading through the universe at the speed of light (big rip?) not only we won't have time to notice, we won't be able to feel the effects neither.
You don't pay income tax at tax time, it gets withheld from your paycheck on an ongoing basis.

Suppose you make $20,000/month, i.e. $240,000/year if you made that the whole year.

In January through March you make $20,000/month. Under a UBI you receive $1000 but then pay $6000 in taxes, a net payment to the government of $5000/month. Under a negative income tax you pay 5% on the first $4000 ($200) and 30% on the remaining $16,000 ($4800), and expect to receive no credit because it fully phased out, so a net payment to the government of $5000/month. It's the same.

In April through December you make nothing. Then you get the $1000 UBI/credit and there is no tax. To receive the net money from the tax credit before the end of the year you would have to be able to claim it without a job, and to set your withholding amount to a negative number that month because you have no income. Which is theoretically possible (it would be what happens to anyone making <$48,000/year), and either way you still get the same total amount at the end of the year when you file your taxes and reconcile.

F-Droid is both a client and a repository. The official F-Droid repository has policies that were clarified in other replies, but it's also important to note that you can add arbitrary repositories and manage software from them with the F-Droid app.

The "build your own if you don't like it" answer is often absurdly impractical, but not here. Someone who feels it's important can put up an alternate repo containing clients preconfigured to connect to Gab and even an alternate build of F-Droid preconfigured to use it in an afternoon.
I agree broadly. I think it's just institutional momentum. We could do settlement within minutes for 99% of trades. The only reason we haven't is because 100+ years ago people though 2 days (T+2) was quick and we haven't updated it.

The EU is gradually forcing its members to do T+1 and eventually (I think decades in the future) wants same day for most products. That reduces risk and it makes the market fairer (RobinHood have had cash flow problems they wouldn't have had with T+0 settlement and the big boys don't have to worry about that).

I guess we have to wait. Some of these places are still using COBOL, a language first introduced in 1959!? That's how complex, legacy, under invested etc many back office setups are.
You have seven submissions in the last day, with a total of three comments on them. Slow down, please.
No, one does not have to respond to “citation-needed” requests for bolstering arguments. Others are perfectly free to discredit me for that, ignore what I am saying, that is fine, but nobody is “required” and nobody “should” engage with that in every case.

In this particular case I think the arguments have been repeated many times across all the different GME threads. My goal is not to repeat them here, only to register dissent, which is a perfectly valid goal for me to have.
What are the security downsides of Firejail vs. Flatpaks? Complexity wise the former looks wildly more preferable.
great, I might use that one. I used the term output, but perhaps activity is a better description of it.
This kind of assumes that a “maxed out” civilization can expand at speed of light, but I don’t think it is given. It may very well be that meaningfully massive transport cannot exceed even a small fraction of c. After all, propulsion has to make energetic sense.

1. There is energy to get to speed

2. Mass of fuel to decelerate (and you have to accelerate that fuel in the beginning!)

3. Highly blue shifted CMB (that alone limits how close to c you can get before becoming plasma)

4. Collision with micrometeorites (so the “ship” has to be microscopic or probability of collision quickly goes to 1, and there is no way to survive even micro collisions while moving at c).

5. Limits on how fast you can give impulse (because your ship is made of matter with finite strength). Eg You cant reasonably railgun something to close to c without converting it to plasma.

There is also all the things you do when you get somewhere before sending more probes to expand, presumably it’s not a single location that seeds everything else (and if it is then the energy budget of that is also complicated).

Now, even at 0.1 c and with many pauses to replicate on the new worlds it would still take only a few million years to span the milky way, but if someone was mid-expansion we would see them way before the bubble hits. Being limited to 0.1c also means that those not in our galaxy will likely be unable to expand into ours (and vice versa).
I guess we have different tastes. I actually canceled Netflix streaming when they started charging separately for it and only picked it up again when House of Cards came out. And I still remember telling a Netflix exec I knew that their streaming movie catalog wasn't very good. His response was that people come to Netflix for movies and stay for the TV shows.

I read people saying what you did but it just doesn't match my experience; I kept a DVD subscription the whole time until fairly recently.

But I don't think any of the streaming services are great for movies. I watch what they have and then either rent from RedBox, buy a disc if it's something I think I may want to rewatch, or pay for a streaming rental.
> That there is an ideological element to the GameStop buying spree is witnessed by the involvement of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Never one to miss out on a left-wing cause, the New York congresswoman tweeted her outrage on Thursday when trading app Robinhood briefly suspended trading in the shares. ‘This is unacceptable,’ she tweeted, complaining that while the retail investors driving the surge had suddenly been banned from trading, hedge funds were still able to trade. The share price duly plunged by 44 percent — which looks like being more than reversed today as soon as Wall Street opens.

She's so brave!
They postponed it again to make room for the two Oscar hopefuls, Judas and the Black Messiah and Minari. Minari was last years Sundance best film and a too small release, and Judas has a good premiere right now in the current Sundance Festival.

Originally it was planned for the new year (Jan 1) if I remember correctly.
Trivial and possible are the same. If colonization is possible it will eventually be mastered and then you get geometric growth. Covid has given us all a quick refresher course on the nature of geometric growth.

On the timescale of the universe, geometric growth in colonization is functionally hyper rapid.

So either colonization (and thus, geometric growth) is impossible or there's nobody else out there.
> buy seems very sensible advice.

It is. However, I think the situation right now is a prisoner's dilemma where this type of "snitching" means most people will lose. If nobody sells, a lot of people will win and the hedgefonds will lose.

The hedgefonds are very much trying to provoke "sensible" decisions at all costs right now. They need people to be predictable and afraid.

> How disconnected from reality of using the stock market as money making vehicles rather than investing in the success of underlying companies is what's on display and needs to be shaken up.

This. WSB isn't the problem, they just highlight it. The naked shortselling is the malicious part. The hedgefonds weren't just speculating against GME, they were inducing Gamespot bankruptcy. That is fucked up. That shouldn't be allowed. Nobody should be allowed to bet on someone losing, especially if they got all-powerful money at their hands. I think most people just don't realize how much a billion dollars really is: More than 1,600,000 stimulus checks. And they game with it like it's nothing.

May be obvious to some, but the braces can be replaced by BEGIN and END keywords by multiple methods, including careful editor search and replace, or use of a preprocessor before compiling (may not handle tokens in strings or comments), or maybe the best option, by hotkey mappings, like BEGIN to some key combo, and END to another.

What lack of maintenance? The wires and panel work fine. The house is the same as it has been for years no electrical issues.

That "quick job" costs a lot of money probably $15K not to mention the labour and time involved. And to a garage that doesn't exist.

My point being adding modern things more power hungry like an EV are not easy for older homes. Renovating to update the entire electrical system is not cheap.
In light of the (re)emergence of cancel culture of the past few years, and the recent escalation to deplatformings, it occurs that we may be witnessing the emergence of a modern 21st century form of 'excommunication'.

Similar to the power of the Catholic Church in pre-Reformation Europe, even heads of sovereign nation states are subject to the exclusionary power of the governing agencies and power potentates of digital societies.

This post is intended to prompt a discussion of this hypothesis.
This engine was never storage for Outlook, nor I _think_ Visual Source Safe (but can't be sure of that). The JET Blue engine often gets confused with the JET Red engine, which were both completely different implementations of the JET API spec. See notes bottom of this page:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/extensible-st...

I say "we" because I am one of the developers who has worked on the engine for the last 15 years (around half of it's existence).

Since I have worked on the engine, it has had a limit of slightly less than 2^31 database pages, which since it has a variable page size, has historically been 4 to 64 TBs.

Even before the 2nd rewrite in the 90s, I believe it had a 16 GB limit, so I really think the 2 GB is JET Red.

"that mythical milky way isn't part of the view at all."

Light pollution!

I see it from here. Look me up on a map: Waitati, Otago, Aotearoa.

The milky way is spray painted across the sky. I wonder what you mean? Is the light pollution in the cities far from you bad enough to obliterate that?

In a 200 mile radius of me there are probably not half a million people, concentrated in one direction, and a city of 120,000 fifteen miles away across a thousand foot high mountain. Seems odd to me I can see it and you cannot. Is it more visible in the Southern Hemisphere?

I go out most ever night. If it is clear I look at the stars, usually one, at random.
It is unbelievable what you can see. 20 years ago I was on a small island in the gulf of thailand, 30 km away from shore, and with the great thing that all electricity on that island was generated by engines which were switched off at 10pm. The sky was full of stars.
Yep. I think a big reason why Teslas are so popular and other EVs (and to a lesser extent Hybrids like the Prius) are not is the styling. Teslas look like normal cars. The others look like caricatures.

It's subjective, but the styling of Volt, Bolt, Leaf, Prius, i3, id.3 are all turn-offs for me.
In your book example... I don’t think you can (legally) redistribute your book. It’s just publishers don’t really care if you do, because cost of enforcement is too high. That’s why they like kindles.

Software used to be like this too, back when it was distributed as a physical thing (disks).

DRM was about protecting copyright, your book/kindle example was a perfect illustrator of that. But I agree, it has been weaponised and misused.

A second collective realization I'd like to see is that the SEC is still using the same faulty Value-at-Risk model they were using before the 2008 crash to estimate clearing funds. They should probably not use this model to do this any more.

There is a mistake in the article, the 2nd graph is repeated. There is no figure 3.
Personal experiences are not facts- they can be cherry-picked, they can be biased, they can be exaggerated and even just made-up. When reporting a supposedly objective fact, you have at least the benefit of multiple independent points of view over it- something observable happened and multiple people reported on it. When you hear a personal experience, you're often hearing an unconfirmed and un-confirmable recount of things that are entirely outside of public verification.
Yes, this is a good point. Intra refresh does reduce variability of the bitrate, but the bitrate is still higher than it would need to be if rtcp was supported.

This is false. The Signal APK is signed with the same signature as the APK on Google Play. If the signature was different then Android would not allow me to overwrite/update my Google Play Signal installation with the APK that I just downloaded from that site.

On Android, APKs are almost always signed by default (even if they're only self-signed).
In the in-storage form (database), the mappings is synchronized at all times.

Many-to-many relationships in the purest form is described as records of ItemAId/ItemBId pairs. `List<{ account: Account, customer: Customer}>`. There isn't any cyclical relationship in this form.

From `List<{ account: Account, customer: Customer}>` one can derive `Map<Customer, Set<Account>>` and `Map<Account, Set<Customer>>`. Bank can have copy of both mappings and use them as double index, synchronizing both mappings as operations goes by, while at the same synchronizing both mappings to the in-storage form. Or not!

We're talking mostly about data-modelling in a programming language, which applies to the in-memory form. `Customer { accounts: Set<Account> }` and A
`Account { customers: Set<Customer> }` is its in-memory form, a layer of indirection from its actual form, the in-storage `List<{ account: Account, customer: Customer}>`.

If informations of Accounts, Customers, and the many-to-many relationship of both are laid flat in its purest, source-of-truth form, the in-storage database entries, why are people suggesting that there is/should be a cyclical relationship in its representative form, the in-memory objects?

Hi guys! I've just made this visually clean and simple tool that lets you access any website mobile version from Desktop.

This is useful for me as I hadn't a tool like this and sometimes I dont want to open DevTools for checking mobile version of a site, or also develop on localhost with DevTools opened.

Hope this to be useful for someone else!

Having studied both in Prague and the UK I can attest that British students are getting their money's worth of leisure and luxury. An interesting side effect is that the same facilities enjoyed by the largely native undergraduate students attract foreign nationals who made up 54% of the postgraduate and 49% of the doctoral student population in 2018/2019, and on whom Britain depends for staying competitive in this local optimum of an education system.

Analogy: humans have existed for something around 100,000 years, yet we only explored the whole ball - and began affecting it to the point of worrying about making it uninhabitable - within the last few decades. Any lesser culture/species was dominated or destroyed before they could come to grips with the expansion ... not so much because of malice as of “bug vs windshield”.
