Wow, so they always knew this.

They released pictures before, so the bomber also knew they knew this.

So they have kept this timing hidden only from the public. (Which also made it much harder on the public to identify anyone)

What a political cover up.

It was also strange on the released photo of the bomb, it wasn't disarmed. This is because the timer had run out. And they also fully knew straight away about if the 'powder' was explosive, strange that's also not released.

...'his company didn't think like a traditional medical institution. "We're engineers, we're scientists, computer scientists, we're cybersecurity nerds. We think a little differently than people in health care do."

"We took the entire model and just threw it out the window," Doroshin added. "We said to hell with all of that. We're going to completely build on a new model...'

These kinds of statements from founders should always be a red flag. Dig deep, if you hear some variant of domain experts are hidebound and dogmatic. The parable of Chesterton's Fence[1] applies.

What I believe Covid proven, at least in Serbia, is that you can’t have hospitals built 50 years ago serve almost double population of Belgrade.
It shows how politicians didn’t invest in healthcare.

In my mind, the whole thing is so overblown because the medical sector works on fumes. Doctors and nurses are working in Germany, and our hospital are few and far between.

We have thousands of young and educated leaving the country every year.

That’s the real tragedy.

However, this is not to say I’m against measures. I wear a mask, I social distance, I haven’t seen my friends in months.
Don't forget that F-Droid is a thing, and Android still has at least that much freedom - to install your own software.

Who would have thought 30 years ago someone would be saying "People can run any code they want on their computer" as a shocking thing.
If you listen Hitler-Mannerheim birthday party recording in 1942, you understand that Hitler had realized already he had fucked up totally. Hitler complains bitterly: "Russians had moved Panzer factories to the Urals and making 100 new ones every day, what can I do?".

That is why Hitler even made the hazardous trip to Finland. There was no other sane person anywhere near him to ask advice. It was decided there and then that Finland will stop advancing and aim to some kind of deal with the Russians. After the defeat Germany will have some kind future, but Russians will exterminate Finnish people totally like the have done to all other Finnic nations.

Sigh. These kind of things, as well as the Signal outage, are not helping efforts to help people switch to better messaging alternatives. It nicely illustrates the centralisation of power though.
A degree of hubris, yes. An irreverence, certainly. It is necessary to not operate within the intellectual framework of a field in order to revolutionize it. Incrementally modifying the framework is extremely difficult because there are usually networks of reinforcement of the current structure (or it wouldn’t be stable..) so a non-incremental “jump” is required to climb a different hill. This jump is mythologized as starting from scratch, though often times most of the weirdness goes away and only the essentially advantageous difference remains as the company or project matures.
Exile is one of the most traditional legal punishments. (Everywhere.) I think a couple of things tend to undermine it in the modern day:

- Very free movement between regions.

- No norm of distrust for strangers. In a traditional society, when someone new shows up, the default is that nobody trusts them to do anything. Any transaction that doesn't settle immediately can't be done, etc. But modern people are supposed to treat strangers as if they didn't just show up because they got ejected from their home. This means exiling people more or less corresponds to screwing over the hapless, trusting society they get exiled to.

There is a solution implemented in the US, the sex offender registry, meant to address this exact problem. ("What if someone enters our community, but they're not trustworthy?") The problem is that the formalization of the sex offender registry (1) is the same everywhere -- not a big problem; the old norm of distrust for strangers doesn't differ in that regard -- and (2) supersedes the old system whereby a stranger could, over time, become trusted. You might personally trust someone who once urinated in public, but he'll never be officially trustworthy no matter what happens.

> “Our restaurants receive pure tuna, mix it with mayonnaise and serve on a freshly made sandwich to our guests.” In a statement to the New York Post, a Subway spokesperson called the allegations “baseless” and “frivolous.”

That's an unusually strong statement for them to make if it's untrue, there's not much wiggle-room there.
no, quite the contrary. Subway contributes to the depletion of humans. They're woke and they don't know it.
> I always used Creative commons for hardware, is CC in its variations not good enough for hardware?

It's a poor fit. The Creative Commons licenses are primarily designed to be applied to artistic works, like literature, photographs, or music. It's unclear how some parts of those licenses would apply to hardware designs or software programs; indeed, Creative Commons discourages the use of their licenses for software.
Only new ones. At least my installation is still there.
Do you use US layout?

I’d say most of those very difficult on non-us (especially Mac!) and after I switched from Nordic keyboard to US I had a small epiphany about why we use the symbols we use in programming.

But honestly it doesn’t matter. I glance at the key it while typing. There is nothing wrong with that
“We’ve carefully explored the current solution space, and we’ve decided it was best to build a new solution from first-principles”

It doesn’t have the same ring as “throwing things out the window” outright, and it’s a lot of extra work. Stopping to see where the old solutions failed, and if they had any merit to begin with? Ugh, out with the old already.
Yes those social justice warriors are just looking for things to indict and have a feeling of power.

That or they are complaining that a tuna sandwich doesn't have the advertised ingredient.
Yeah. One wonders why this product being vegetarian is not advertised that way.
I don't know, I've lurked there a bit in the past (for amusement/actually got a couple of good tips from the more serious end of posts, didn't see DFV/RK on GME at the time unfortunately!) but when I looked last night it just seemed filled with obviously new people commenting, membership has tripled or something. I didn't really participate in its 'culture', but I think it would be a shame if it lost that - after all I don't lurk on r/investing or get any amusement from it. I suppose probably they'll get bored when there isn't an official announcement that the next quick buck shall be X and here is a step by step guide on purchasing shares and options, and move on.
I have identified this issue during whiteboard interviews. I was not able to write code on a blank piece of paper/plastic. It turns out I have delegated part of the coding activities to tools like IDE and Google.

I made a conscious decision to fix this.

I have switched from Java to Go, effectively lowering the level of abstraction. Then from IDE to Vim, getting rid of autocomplete.
I turned off syntax highlighting, allowing my brain to parse and interpret code more effectively. Last but not least was starting to use embedded documentation `go doc {{ package }}` via terminal and reading language sources to learn how internals work.

It was hard at the beginning, and my productivity dropped for some time. Later, when new neural connections were created in my brain, things started to improve.

Some of the benefits that I enjoy now are a better understanding of the code, improved knowledge of language libraries and interfaces.

I have tested this approach by coding in planes and trains without access to the Internet, and it works well.

Did it fix my problem with whiteboards? I do not know, but I am happy with the new skills.
Frankly I'm annoyed that I wasted time on this article. Flagged.
Mostly yes because server chassis are very compact and sometimes use proprietary connectors and fans. Still, many people have done that with good results, have a look in YouTube to know which server models are best suited for that kind of customization.
I wonder if their “tuna” could be vegan in that case
It's been remarkable to watch the sad old "first they came for them..." saga play out in real time over the past few years.

At first there were just a few, heavily downvoted, voices saying that Twitter shouldn't be deplatforming obnoxious cretins on grounds of free speech principles. And now here we are with open source chat clients getting removed from the app store.

I know alot of smart people will try to argue Its Not The Same Thing, but I'm with the side that says there's a direct line through these events.

>in the interim there's https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.app/ but it's a few versions behind.

Honest question: Why is the F-Droid option a few versions behind?
My concern was just with trianglem misrepresenting reality. “Literally no plan” means: literally no plan.

You’re making a different (and better) argument here, which I have no problem with at all. Although if you look at the situation in Europe right now, you’d probably have to admit the US did a better job on vaccines. In my country the Moderna vaccine looks like it will save the day for us. We didn’t make that happen so fast and so effectively - the US government did.
The UK actually ordered that vaccine way before the EU, the UK essentially paid for manufacturing to start.

EU didn't, and only ordered it after it was clear it would work. 3 months later than the UK.

So astrazeneca started manufacturing doses in the UK 3 months ago, but the manufacturing teething problems in the EU factory are 3 months behind.

Essentially the EU, at best, are trying to jump the queue, which is very frowned upon over here in roast beef. At worse they were too slow paying for their own vaccine, are shocked to find you can't magic it out of thin air and are now trying to steal it from the UK to save face.
Warning: weird analogy is coming up.

I learned to write java code (structure, basic io (terminal, file, datastructures) blind like in word or notepad and it would run without errors for a google interview; It is not that much you need to know actually but when you learn it once, it lingers around for quite a long time and it gives you a different feeling of confidence that you actually know java (i was writing java code for 6? years before that already so i do know java).

Its very similiar to my personal experience with doing push ups: If you never have done them you don't have any muscles at certain areas; Now after going from 0 to 15 push ups over a few month, i gained a general better physiology on upper body strenge and it still lingers around.

Non of both are critical in a day to day scenario but both experiences were fun/interesting and this base is now here where it was not before.

It brings me, mentally speaking, closer to really get something like java.
The tweets say that pure math is an important part of the ecosystem of scholarship at a university (slight paraphrase) and I agree with that. I don't really have any concern about axing medieval literature though.
As far as I see, some people are questioning why EU didn't prefer Chinese or Russian vaccines. I know only one of the Chinese vaccines: CoronaVac (developed by Sinovac)

We still don't have clear phase 3 results. The announced results (by Turkey, Brazil, Indonesia) are so different. It is not easy to trust it at the moment.

BUT WE ALREADY VACCINATED ALMOST TWO MILLIONS IN TURKEY :D

So the real results are coming... Just wait a couple of weeks more.

Appologies for the shitpost but found the blog post a bit low effort as well.
Tuna aren't a single species, most of them are not endangered. The one you would usually use in sandwiches or salads for example is the albacore or skipjack tuna which is not endangered. Bluefin is critically endangered.

(Edit: Saw that albacore is now "near threatened")

After all the reports about users getting randomly banned from

going to put myself in a place where I have to rely on them.

It's not thaaat clunky. With my phone I click the download link, it downloads the apk, asks me if I want to allow to installing apps from the browser and then asks me to install the app. Installing a program in Windows is more complicated 95% of the time.

On top of that, if you have a rooted phone, you can use F-Droid to automatically install updates. For me updating apps from F-Droid is actually more convenient than updating apps from the play store, which I have to manually install.

There absolutely could be phone vendors selling LineageOS phones with F-Droid as the default app store. The only really important thing that would be missing for a lot of people would be WhatsApp.
(Akamai, Google, Google) if you consider in terms of CDN providers of those platforms.
I don’t think anyone has suggested that it’s vegetarian. Could be mystery meat.
It is utterly bizarre to me that not only are the answers almost universally “no, I couldn’t” but also, “no, and it’a totally ridiculous to expect anyone to be able to.”

I make myself do it occasionally just to make sure I’m not getting too lazy about paying attention to details. I can build a basic web site in both golang and nodejs, from scratch, using a plain editor with no autocomplete. It’s actually a very good feeling. I can even do a react app from scratch if we aren’t counting webpack config.

My last proof of concept project at work, the server side was running behind so I spit out an extremely basic but totally functional node server and frontend in an afternoon without using any fancy frameworks and the Java dude was still trying to build the same thing three days after the demo was done. It’s pretty useful to just be able to write it straight from your keyboard without having to go googling a bunch of stuff.

Why is everyone acting like it’s impossible or unreasonable?
> As far as I can see he was greatly helped into power by Labour repeatedly choosing an unelectable leadership

I don't disagree on this, but Corbyn predated the Brexit referendum, and BoJo made his series of choices that left him in power knowing full well what the opposition looked like. He certainly had a fair share of luck, but the idea of him bumbling accidentally into No 10 is both naive and playing exactly into his hands.
Help me understand, if the blockchain has 100% uptime, how would there be outages in the infrastructure? To take down a large blockchain, you'd have to take out the entire network, or basically the whole internet.

What errors would occur if all the rules for transfer of assets were encoded on-chain? Crypto is already moving hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tokens 24/7 every single day. There's no central bank entities or clearing houses. The collateral for loans is completely tracked on-chain and fully auditable on the ledger. Tell me why that's not superior.

I think a better analogy to illustrate izacus’ point would be:

"""The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread."""

Apple have defined the rules, the rules which Apple have defined mean that Apple apps do not look scary while Facebook’s do.

Are those rules fair?

I happen to think “probably yes”, yet I am prepared to be incorrect.
Modern NVIDIA GPUs (since Volta) drop that pretence at the ISA level, each thread has its own instruction pointer there.

Your GPU ISA is scalar, not vector on modern NVIDIA machines.
IIRC back in 2013 when the horse meat scandal was bubbling in the news and DNA testing meat was all the rage, I read a headline that Subway chicken meat was aledgedly found out to only be one third chicken, the rest being soy. My initial though back then was pretty much the same.

Sadly, I can't find the "one third" claims any more, closest I can find right now are several "less then 50%" articles with addenda from around 2017[1][2][3].

>Hitler compounded the situation by declaring war on the US after pearl harbor freeing Roosevelt to open supply and support the allies,

Except that's not how that went down at all. The Lend-Lease[0] policy was in place long before Pearl Harbor or the German declaration. What's more, Roosevelt strongly supported the Allies even before that.

Your users still benefit from less centralization. The main matrix.org instance might ban them for whatever reason, but their access to your internal server is not touched. It's different if all of you used Signal or Discord and their account got banned e.g. for using an alternative client.
If you can, the app is too simple. The soft-ness of software means you always have a lot of choices about how to do things, and those things are a very deep tree. Knowing one specific solution is generally not that useful, because softness is about malleability.

The real skill is understanding what you're making. What are the constraints, and of those which are hard to satisfy? Which choices are binding once committed? Everything else is fill-in-gaps, or choose a sane default: "Page needs my corporate background color, can't remember the CSS for it. I need a DB, let's go with pg. I need to make sure passwords are done sanely, let's double check the django docs. For some reason I keep getting an error with the page, let's google it."

It's also a skill to recognize when you have to backtrack on your choices. Maybe you missed the bit where it says "don't use this lib multithreaded" and you have to find another. With some experience your backtracking won't take you all the way back to square zero.
The Administrators make their power play: declaring faculty redundant. They no longer want pesky faculty thinking about things that don't earn money, so the math faculty has to go. The end goal is clear: a University is a business, being sold to students and Alumni, for the purpose of profit.
Why does SpaceX need permission to launch? Why is the FAA concerned about anything other than SpaceX having the clear airspace needed to develop new spacecraft?

If you want to get really good at something, you have to practice a lot. We need the FAA to get out of the way, or we will be stuck on this planet, with no backup for humanity in the event of an extinction event that affects the whole of Earth.
I am a pure math guy who absolutely loves the Canterbury Tales.

The only people who should be axed are the administrative windbags and "bottom-line" scallywags. So clever, aren't they? I am sure they can survive out in their precious "real world" that they are so infatuated with and sneer others about.

That is completely off topic.

It's really bad in itself, but not related to vaccinations in any way.

Correlating them is an Ad Hominem (ad institutum?) at best, and a libel at worst.

By correlating those, politicians and 'alternative' media are using the (proven right) distrust for testing to distrust for vaccinations. That is disingenuous and dangerous.

I was banned for "flamewar" comments that I have been indulging in "for months". Sure I was banned for the last comment that ticked the mod off (a comment against privacy violations of users who had their data stolen through theft) but the decision was
not based on that alone. It was based on comments leading up to it: Most of which concern Big Tech Censorship. You can check my comments section if you are sceptical. It's publicly accessible anyways.
Thanks for your reply, the basic things i was missing at a first glance:

- Could not find a way/command to simply clear ALL the cache (cookies, cached images and files, Database storage, etc.)

- The ultimate goal would be some way to replace the functionality of "Temporary Containers" or alternatively "Cookie Autodelete" (you keep all the history, but everything else is in Incognito mode except for whitelisted sites.)

- Can't disable WebRTC (= unique device id can always be tracked)

I can understand the choice for Chromium btw. Although i can't bring myself to using/supporting Google's monopoly... so i'll stick to Firefox as my main browser.

Never used it so far, but recently came across the NEO keyboard layout [1]. Unfortunately the website is in German only, but just looking at the interactive graphic should give you sufficient information how it looks like. The only German word you need to know to understand the graphic is „Ebene“, which means layer. What I find particularly interesting is „Ebene 3“, or „layer 3“ and the corresponding repurposing of the capslock key. Personally I definitely intend to try the NEO layout soon.

A lot of universities do not have a pure math faculty. It can be good or bad, it depends on the goals of the university and which faculties it wants to specialize on.
This is a really cool idea. At least it would serve as an inspirational or educational project. I would be willing to support this in some capacity. Would anyone else be interested?

Maybe set up a chat and see what happens?
