The threat model is different. Any such system should not be vulnerable to someone that is not even trying very hard and is not an insider attacker.
I think nuclear fusion may not be a very efficient method of converting mass to energy for very advanced civilizations. In absence of discovery of large amounts of antimatter, a super-advanced civilization is likely better off taming small black holes that can convert matter into heat. It doubles as a waste disposal mechanism as well.

The story of Mullaperiyar dam mentioned in the first paragraph is fucking insane. The dam was built in the current Indian state of Kerala by the British 125 years ago[1][2]. The water is heavily used by the water scarce neighbouring state Tamil Nadu for agriculture. And when British left, the state of Tamil Nadu got the rights to operate the dam for 999 years which is nuts. Kerala wants to build a new dam since if a failure happens a major chunk of Kerala, which is also one of the most densely populated states in India where millions live go underwater. The dam is located in a earth quake prone area and already suffered damages twice from earth quakes in the past[3]. But Tamil Nadu don't agree and says the Dam is in fine condition and blocks all legal challenges brought by Kerala to build a new dam[4]. Tamil nadu has no skin in the game here. Nobody is going to be killed in Tamil Nadu if Dam breaks.

I don't even understand what kind of justice system we have. Any sensible justice system would order to build a new dam if there is even a slight possibility that millions of lives are in danger. But not in this country! Things like this are the reason why i want to leave this country. It's run by idiots. My PRs get blocked for having a spelling mistake in the variable name but we allow to have a 125 year old damaged dam running without even thinking about decomissioning it at some point!!

I think the author equates English and American English, which as you observed is much different from the British English of Churchill.
They aren't all public. Let us say, instead, that most of it is public. Furthermore, let us consider that publicness, like privacy, comes in degrees (and perhaps kinds).
Really good point. In my first job, I spent quite sometimes to figured out where I need to change the code.
The article does mention Portacle, which is very easy to install on MacOS. I'd recommend you try it to see if there's any trouble.
Yeah, the dark-pattern to push you to their app is pretty annoying. Their app actually works way better than any mobile browser I've used. I don't know what underlying tech they built it on, maybe its optimized for their particular workload. Still, I'd want that option in my own control. They've already implemented a mobile specific front-end that works, why cripple it?

I was trying to point that a person can't become asexual (on the same way that no body can change is sexual orientation). Asexuals are born asexuals. Like a homosexual is born homosexual, etc.
If a subreddit forbids discussion of a topic, you probably wouldn't have been able to have a good conversation about it anyway. Don't go to the biggest subs! Avoid the places that have been taken over by the most aggressive enforcers of mass culture! Reddit's great redeeming virtue is that it's big enough for groups with more liberal discussion norms to flourish, if you can find them.
IMO it’s a major waste of time to go through a book if I can’t check my solutions and be satisfied that I understood everything the instructor intended to from the problem. I won’t be investing the time into this book. Algorithms by Sedgwick instead has (third party) Solutions online.

> In other words, obviously bad products won't be able to advertise this way because of negative comments

Negative comments can be downvoted and it's not a secret that you can buy reddit accounts and that there are lots of bots. A comment only needs what, 5 downvotes before it's automatically minimized by the default view? You're not seeing those comments unless you're digging, the same way you would on Amazon or anywhere else.
As far as I'm aware, they're not legally required to fortify, but once it's labeled as "enriched macaroni product," it has to meet the required levels from the standard.

This isn't unique to imports: standards of identity apply equally to domestic products. It's just that the FDA has tools at its disposal to block things at the border, which they used here.
Recently I've started thinking that some people have this unconsious uncomfortable feeling with the current society and how domesticated or perhaps over-socialized people have become, and that the solution they are reaching for without realizing it is to invert the common mantra into "crime should pay".

When I applied to enable Options trading on my Fidelity account, I had to wait 3 days plus they sent me a booklet which looked like it was printed in the 80s about the risks of options trading, they also pointed me to a section on their site with tutorials about options trading once they had enabled my account. By the time they were done I was rethinking my plan to trade options :-)

It’s different now. As one of those Digg refugees who has now been looking to ditch reddit for a long time, there just isn’t a good, obvious reddit alternative in the same way there was a good, obvious Digg alternative. The internet is too grown up, too parceled out, the big players are too dominant.

It is very hard to "save" something that is so volatile. Imagine buying 1 BTC for $47,000 today. If history does repeat itself, it goes down in price tomorrow. The buyer ends up with 1 BTC, that is now worth $20,000. Sure, you still have the original amount of BTC, which is a currency and a reserve currency/asset at the same time. However half of the dollar value is liquid and there is a market for it, the other half is imaginary and wishful thinking for the future. Let's imagine you run into financial problems and you have to sell some of your investments for cash. It would be nice if the buyer could pay the hospital bill in BTC's as they still have 1 BTC, but the hospital wants dollars. BTC's extreme volatility may double or half your savings at any given time. It's all good and dandy if you don't have to sell and you can hold on to it, but if you have to sell, you might both win or lose. I don't think that is how money saving works. It's how gambling works for sure.

I think the most important thing about files is being able to take a unit of work - a picture or a document - and interact with it as a single object, doing things like copying it or sharing it with others. Any replacement system that doesn't let me take my work and simply drag it to a flash drive is flawed. This doesn't mean we can't use a database, but it is something important to remember.

Rural areas are subject to brain drain where the best and the brightest disproportionately leave for more urban settings where more money is available to be earned.

For the past 5 years and the foreseeable short-to midterm. that mainly means ETH (Ethereum), preferably hedged by smaller positions in one or a handful of similarly scoped projects that could end up eating its mind- and marketshare (I won’t judge which are better bets but some candidates would be Polkadot, Cardano, Solana, Tezos. Stay away from EOS and Ripple, there’s nothing behind their curtains)

Other more specific projects mentioned here like LINK, REN, various defi-specific solutions like AAVE/Uniswap, are more perennial and more suited for someone who actually uses these protocols or services, not something I would see as an investment.

The NIH Vaccine
It's impossible to plant enough trees to consume all the CO2 we've dug out of the ground and still have human civilization not starve. That would require going back to forestation levels even greater than that of a pre-industrial era.

More so trees aren't a permanent carbon sink. They get knocked over, get burned in forest fires, and their leaf litter decomposes, all releasing the CO2 back into the atmosphere.
You should read up on the rates of plea bargaining, as well as the methods prosecutors use to push defendants to do so, which include:

- Not revealing all information they are required to.

- Parallel construction (see above)

- Overcharging, with the goal of making the plea more palatable than the cost/risk of defending multiple absurd charges.

- Lying to you while getting to throw you in jail if you lie to them.

As a result, only 5% of federal cases go to trial.

None of behaviors these are rare. If your understanding of the legal system is based on popular culture, as most people’s is, it is basically law enforcement propaganda that has little relationship to reality.
I downloaded the APK and then used "Profile or Debug APK" under file in Android Studio and ctrl/cmd+shift+f to search for strings.

I don't know much about Android development or APKs but it's not exactly "reversing." from what I understand the profile/debug converts the .dex files from the APK to .smali which is human readable.
In my opinion, that's like asking "which brand of ball should I buy to be a great NBA player?".

Tech stacks come and go, and which one you should use right now depends on where you live and what you'd like to do in the near future (web development? text processing? deep learning?). Algorithms, Operating Systems, Software Engineering and Networking basics, OTOH, are not going away anytime soon.

Look I do get it your good intentions.

But it will just make more problems.

If the reality hurt my feelings or others it is not reality that should be bent.

We need to be able to say and call it:

"HeY xxx group we have a problem, a long standing problem. We need to change our culture and start shaming people who does X or Z. We can't Protect anyone just because they are "our" tribe. Neither we can blame it for things done by other tribes centuries ago."

While we don't talk serious and frank we will be always around the issue. Every ten years we will have some new term to avoid this discussion.

I am a minority and my "group" was know for "scams" and troubles. It got so bad people like me avoided to speak our native language. The community started to exclude the bad apples.
And suddenly the bad apples did not have more "contacts" or networks and started to "adjust" or go back to our country.

We need to pursue and be able to say the truth. And we need to shame this bad behavior.

As *today* one friend of mine did a instagram video saying that she is not Afro-american.
That she is Haitian. That is an indirect call.

We non-whites already shame ourselves, the others and the people back home.
I need the good Afro-americans leaders and celebreties to shame the bad apples and not only appear when it is to blame white people.
What would be even cooler is if the website could turn some of the most interesting examples into spinnable (?), controllable animations to let you use them.
It seems that for years now whenever people try to justify the usefulness of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and smart contracts there are always 10 different, jargonic, and barely-understandable answers. There is no shortage of excuses given for why they haven't busted banks, credit cards, and payment apps.

For years decentralized technologies have been pushed as the future for the internet and yet they still aren't used by anybody outside hardcore enthusiast communities, while bringing ruin to many others as volatile 'investments'. Goes to show that the problem is in the technology itself, no matter how you present it. Unless it is changed to reflect people's actual needs (i.e: reject the ideology of decentralization for convenience and easy payments) it will never gain traction.

Totally agreed. The reason why these systems are network connected is to save a few pennies on periodical drive-by's but they open up a whole can of worms in terms of risk that those entities are very ill equipped to deal with. The same was happening with SCADA systems for building management. Systems that were quite literally wide open were given an IPV4 address based on the assumption that since all they did was run HVAC controllers on obscure UDP ports that they were safe and nobody would bother with them.

Coffee is the killer here. I never ever used to nap. I quit caffeine almost a year ago, and within a month of quitting, I started enjoying the occassional mid afternoon nap. Not everyday, just when I was tired. It's nice to know when I'm tired actually.
That ridiculous website prompted me to learn web development and ultimately resulted in the company I've been running for the past decade. (Which is loosely based on the throwaway project I decided to do to learn what I was doing, before moving on to the real site I'd make - some 'clever' million dollar homepage knockoff with a twist, that certainly would have failed!)

Recently, i realized my reddit frontpage is full of self links. It isn't a link aggregator anymore for me. Not primarily. It is a forum.
That is false. The suppression on Twitter was based on the argument that the data was allegedly hacked, was not verified and they were being cautious. You are also ignoring the fact that even conservative leanings sites like Wall Street journal passed on the story.

Finally, Greenwald published his resignation letter. Intercept also published their letter to him. It was never about news worthiness. It was a debate on ‘what’ the content was as I mentioned in my earlier response
The minimum karma requirements to downvote goes a long way on HN. I’d say they should add a limit to upvote as well, but that might make things worse idk.
I used to search around for various forums to post in or find answers in. Over the years, the little forums vanished and all that’s left is Reddit and a few holdouts. The only real advantage of the Reddit model is that you don’t have to read 5 pages of flame war and off topic “how is your cat these days?” to find a good comment. If the average web forum sorted posts by upvotes instead of chronologically by default (while letting a user choose their preference), I think small forums would still be a lot more common - Eg, hn, stack overflow, etc
While data related to a company doesn't fall under GDPR, the data of the person(s) in that company does.
I'm happy to see that the top comment is about his 25% credit for I Don't Know. That willingness to fold with grace is something that gets lost with standardized testing.

IIRC, he also announced that the top 5% of the class would be automatic (and the only) A+ grades, and the bottom 5% would be automatic F grades. But don't worry, there would inevitably be more F's than that, naturally, so nobody was going to get screwed by that rule.

As the international student base grew, I could imagine pressure from the dean to stop applying or even publicising that grading rule.

(edit: didn't state my assumptions here. The international students pay quite a bit more than in-state resident students. They are more likely to contain the "cream of the crop" from nations like China and India, both considerably larger than Illinois's in-state population. These students are likely to have different expectations coming in, due to the competitive schools they may have come from; and they are more likely to risk "breaking" the 5% threshold for F's)
pen testing often involves walking into a building looking like you should be there. If no one is around to let you in it also can involve half a minute of getting the door open with some primitive every day tools. No computers or software required.

Valve definitely doesn't treat developers poorly (well their commission is too big but they are quite reasonable in how they interact with developers).

> They’re bad at dealing with Japanese content, if you get a reviewer who decides it’s “more gross anime shit” (as millenials like to do) they ban your game sight unseen with no appeal.

No, they don't do that. They ban games involving sexualisation of minors (e.g. your Twitter links below). Also I don't think there is a millennial conspiracy regarding Japanese content. I'm French I have literally been raised on Japanese import and the content you are linking seriously creeps me out.
> marketing is bothering you to use Javascript-framework-du-jour on the backend so they can put it on their sales slide.

I’ve worked in frontend for five years and this has never been a thing that happened. If a framework is important to your marketing, that would be because your customers have to use it to interface with your product. The same would be true if your customers had to interact with your backend; they would want an API in popular languages, trendy languages and frameworks too.
Why did this get flagged? Seems like a legitimate topic of discussion.

This does not address the primary way I (ab?)use these brackets: to fill in the subject explicitly when the original author refers to it only implicitly.

So quoting the last clause in the above paragraph, I might write

> when the author refers to [the subject] only implicitly.

The obvious alternative is to quote a longer passage. Maybe this is one of those cases where conciseness fights with authenticity.

Another solution might be to substitute in the subject and just not indicate it with brackets. That certainly reads easier, but risks hiding a common type of misunderstanding.
