> I haven't heard of municipal light companies making it illegal to generate your own electricity or not connect your house to the grid, apart from general fit-for-occupancy laws.

It sounds like you haven’t done much research on this but anyone who has tried to opt out quickly discovers that these things exist. For example, in many municipalities it is illegal to occupy a dwelling that is not served with electricity from the grid. Having discovered this myself because the power company refused to sell me power, because they couldn’t confirm my identity, because they only way they were willing to confirm my identity was through a credit bureau asking me about my credit history, of which for some reason they had no records, (respectfully) I’m unwilling to do the unpaid labor of searching the internet to prove something I know very well from personal experience. Suffice it to say I rented a house and was unable to legally occupy it for a week because I had to get someone else to call the power company and turn on the lights. There are laws that prevent people from opting out.

> In general for any given decree, one can always choose to to ignore it and bear specific consequences. This applies to de jure governments and de facto government alike. It takes a functioning market with many different options to diminish those consequences to the point where they can be accepted as some natural order rather than centralized diktats.

Agreed, and thanks for the reply.

As an Australian this debate sounds very incomprehensible to me, too.

That's because what it really is is a fairly unnuanced shake-down by the government on behalf of Murdoch media[1][2].

> With a ToS you can make it up as you like. Speaking against having pets could be hate speech against pet owners. I mean it could mean whatever the mods want it to mean. You can circumscribe it to only affect people you want affected for whatever reason.

To be fair, Congress could, on a whim, change the definitions of hate speech whenever they felt like it. If you're arguing about selective enforcement with TOS, the police already selectively enforce laws. Hate speech would just be another one they could use against people they don't like, while ignoring those they do. There's no good solution.
Wow. Thanks for the answer and for the paper !. I myself implemented this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.05934.pdf in go.

The issue with retraining is that you need new labels (assume supervised ML). so I wonder what process do you use to get those.
On most file systems, just deleting a file simply deletes the link between the filename and the data on disk, the actual data remains fully intact until the blocks are overwritten by new data. It's trivial to recover recently deleted files, and often not much more effort to recover less recently deleted files. It only becomes a challenge if the data has been long deleted or was intentionally overwritten before deletion (or the disk wiped using random data), in some cases becoming effectively impossible to recover.
Google response (from Jan):

"Our security systems automatically lock an employee’s corporate account when they detect that the account is at risk of compromise due to credential problems or when an automated rule involving the handling of sensitive data has been triggered. In this instance, yesterday our systems detected that an account had exfiltrated thousands of files and shared them with multiple external accounts. We explained this to the employee earlier today. We are actively investigating this matter as part of standard procedures to gather additional details.”

>> Many of our programmers had worked twelve hours a day, seven days a week for ten months. We would bring dinner in for them because we were afraid if they left, they might not come back. The last month or so we gave them every other Sunday off so, as one of them pointed out, they could see their family or do some laundry.

Maybe, but I doubt it. I'm currently working on another NASA rover project (going to the Moon, not Mars) and we don't use any third party code. Our code is based off of another open source NASA project (Core Flight System), but we don't open-source our exact flight software. Mostly this is simply because we have to go through a lengthy vetting process to ensure we don't inappropriately release anything that falls under ITAR or EAR, and we just don't have the extra time or budget for it.

Typically at NASA it's the more open-ended research projects that have time and support for open sourcing their code. There's less benefit in releasing a specific rover's flight software than there is in releasing the general framework that said software is based on.
Apparently the way it works at Google is they fire you when you don't rubber stamp everything.

They don't really compose nicely. (At least from my point of view, as I prefer fluent interfaces, eg. those you usually find in Rust/Scala/Java.)
I don't disagree either to be honest, but the reality is we live in a world where almost every business is dependent on a presence that shows up in web browsers. This puts enormous pressure and real dollars spent on making web browsers and the HTML & CSS ecosystem super fast, accessible, etc. Thousands of developers are trained every day how to make basic HTML & CSS experiences. Any UI system that throws all that away and tries to build up a similar ecosystem from scratch is going to be churning and churning for years.

Don't forget browsers are pretty spectacular runtimes. V8 and its JIT compiler is arguably one of the best runtimes of any language in the world. Sure the very first view of a page is going to do some parsing, etc. but as it runs it gets faster and faster with core functions and components compiled on the fly into platform machine code. The sandbox and security and encryption support in browsers is top notch and supremely battle-tested and hardened. With WASM now pretty mainstream we're starting to see entirely new frontend UIs coded in languages like C++, Go, Rust, etc. that are incredibly fast too. If you squint hard enough the browser is really no different than the JVM or .NET CLR these days--it just has 20 more years or so and an order of magnitude more developers working on improving it.

The file is still there. A regular delete just tells the disk that the segments of memory are available to be overwritten. Zeroing out (or /dev/urandom) the memory is an option, but even that is not 100% safe, especially when it comes to forensic labs with the ability to read and analyze platters removed from a complete, sealed disk. Really safe deleters will overwrite the segments of memory multiple times to scramble magnetic signatures

On the other hand, I also wonder how easy it is to connect her, ways of doing things, contacting other people, to other secret entities. And they can even watch anyone who was spooked after the news and anyone who went silent. Because detection works both ways.

I recently read somewhere that secret angencies likely watch suspects and see when they turn off their phones or when they turn them back on for example when they have a meeting. This is a good way to narrow in on other people connected to the suspect by watching their patterns.
The way I understand the appeal is that there is a notion of (virtual) authenticity. It is like paying for the signature. Imagine you own a copy of a painting by Van Gogh, or a painting which cannot be authenticated, then it is suddenly worth a lot less than a painting with a certificate that it is an authentic one and another certificate that you obtained it through legal means.
I think at least part of the reason is because they own it. Per https://www.statista.com/statistics/1200477/bitcoin-mining-b... 65% of all bitcoin mining is in China, this means majority of newly minted coins are in China, but also they can launch 51% attack at any time.

Garmin.

Garmin has always had about the best track record with data accessibility, by far.

Apple Watch is probably a very distant second -- especially now since they've really nerfed the health data exporting. Launch Health app, click on user photo, click "Export All Health Data", wait forever, have "fun" parsing it.

Thanks for the additional examples. Another good one is the moon landing. I don't strictly know we went to the moon, I don't have direct proof, but based on the evidence available to me and the crappy arguments from people claiming we didn't, I'm pretty confident it happened.

As usual these arguments never really end, but thanks to prediction markets, this time the people who believed the possible-but-highly-unlikely outcome, "Trump actually won", ended up donating lots of their money to the people who believed the much more simple and plausible scenario: "No, he didn't".

As a hobbyist that'd be hard to justify. At work I manage two standard LAMP servers only. So I am not really your audience.

I think I'd like some kind of alerts on some specific events (disk space, some logs, IDK), systemctl management and status/reporting, some instantaneous “update as I type” filtering/searching in logs, cron and/or systemctl timer management, space usage graphics, booting reports, etc. ... maybe these are just things I usually do and think a GUI would be nice to have if I had to do it for multiple servers. Not enough experience with that in a professional setting though so take it all with a grain of salt.

But as-is, I think I could justify asking for 50 bucks for the product if I needed it.
I have a few HDs with bullet holes in them, and the platters are still intact. I've messed around with a lot of drives and never shattered a disk like glass.

As I understand it, the issue is the false claims in the visa application more than the military service. If they'd known she was an (apparently) active member of the Chinese military, she wouldn't have gotten the visa in the first place. In her visa application she admitted to prior military service and still received the visa so military service itself is not a fundamental blocker for Chinese visa applicants.
Is the theater of starting the process worth the concessions I can win?

It's not bluffing if you're willing to do it. But it's a lot cheaper if you don't have to follow through.

China is scary because of the big risks they're willing to take. Like giant earthquakes or drowning Shanghai if their hydro power system has the failure that western civil engineers have predicted.
This is a neat gallery!

I'm personally thinking of getting a split keyboard soon, but I'm so split on what I want. Currently using a Preonic and find the ortholinear/compact layout fairly pleasant, so I might just want to get something like the Let's Split. Still, I can't decide if I'd prefer a board with thumb clusters and/or staggered rows (like the Ergodox).

I'd honestly be fine going back to a more traditional layout on a split keyboard (not ortholinear, punctuation keys in normal places, all that stuff), but I've been really unimpressed by what I've seen of those in terms of features. I really want QMK, and I'd also like boards that are flat/don't have a strong tilt since those tend to be a bad ergonomically (in fact, I'd ideally like optional negative tilting). I also want something that's relatively low profile, which is also tricky to find in my experience.
Because China has already announced DCEP as their national crypto. So the chance of them making btc their currency is basically none while China has already cracked down on btc in various ways in the past. They could in theory use btc as some kind of reserve or exchange currency, but not sure why they would need to when everyone has to bend to their will to trade with them.
Ha, if you think that's a lot, I've got some news for you. That might be the price for just the CPU, but the price for the avionics package (basically a RAD750 with the necessary boards to manage power and IO) is a whole lot more than that. (I'm probably not allowed to name the exact number, but you're going to need to add a zero for sure.)

Infect does have a negative connotation but I can't really think of a non-negative term with the same viral connotations and that side of the connotation is rather accurate. The GPL aggressively applies itself to full code bases that adopt it - it might actually be a bit more accurate to call it cancerous I guess?

At any rate it is a rather negative word but I don't think it's fair to say that "infect" is a mis-categorization of the behavior of the GPL. And all this from someone who does personally appreciate MIT licenses more but is quite pro-GPL licensing on code.
Right, it seems like there would be plenty of gamers more than willing to replace those ASICS given the opportunity.

I haven't really kept up with this, but last I heard virt-manager was deprecated (on RHEL at least) in favor of just Cockpit, hence the comparison.

Cockpit is definitely nice, but it still feels pretty incomplete compared to virt-manager.

virt-manager appears to still be developed, though, just without the same blessing/level of support from Red Hat.

While I think breck's phrasing is a bit overstated, and sometimes you really do want to have two contrasting clauses in a single sentence, their statement was (I presume intentionally!) self-illustrating:

> I respect your comment but you can ignore the left half of any but comment.

"I respect your comment, but..." isn't doing any meaningful work in this sentence; it's not contrasting anything, it's just introducing the actual point: "You can ignore the left half of any 'but' comment." You don't really lose anything by taking out the left half.

I think there's a real difference with this usage compared to "infection vectors" as used by pundits - everyone in the UK is an infection vector and migrants aren't particularly more likely to be infected than any other travelers[1] so their usage is a clear mis-attribution intended to slander a class of people.

I would take a look at (and consider donating to) FIRE to understand the current state of academic freedom in universities.

https://www.thefire.org/news-and-media/

Just to give two examples:

Bret Weinstein was fired from Evergreen for not participating in a no-white-people-on-campus day (and he was also subject to credible death threats, requiring police escorts when present on campus)

Gordon Klein was suspended for refusing to promise to give higher grades to black students. https://nypost.com/2020/06/10/ucla-suspends-professor-for-re...

And then we have the epidemic of academic mobbing, where colleagues engage in herding behavior that focus their rage on one of their colleagues in a type of modern equivalent of Monsters on Maple Street. It is estimated that 12 percent of those mobbed end up committing suicide. https://www.universityaffairs.ca/opinion/in-my-opinion/acade...

There are many, many things that will get you fired or subject to attack in the modern university, and I don't see any reason to view academia as a place that provides more intellectual freedom than private industry. Indeed, it is often the epicenter of cancel culture and petty utopian dictators.
