I'm quite aware of the etymology of the word "slave". Why is that relevant at all to this discussion?

It's about socioeconomic and class status. There are lots of poor white communities that suffer serious oppression and missed opportunities too, but that's not the point of my post, or why I found your post disgusting. There are lots of rich East Asian people who've never had to do any manual labor in their life, or worry about their infant not being able to eat; just as there are East Asians who watched as Japanese soldiers tore the infants from their pregnant mother. Or German/Russian Mennonites who watched as Slavic peoples(as you call them) come in and murder their village. The common denominator here is class, power, and social status, not race.

Are you saying that the rich and poor have equal human experience? Please, answer that point first, instead of redirecting into this tired anti-"white guilt" narrative.
If that is insane, you may not have issue with this specific line but you surely have issue with the 2 “insane” lines that follow it?
I remember visiting a fully automated store already in the 90's in Tromsø, Norway. It was like an extended vendoring machine. It was quite fun watching the robot hand go up and down based on your order. I believe such stores were already common in Japan at the time. The shop didn't make it, though, and was discontinued after a year or two.

Today automated checkouts are popping up in more and more shops in Norway, though they're not present in all stores yet. You simply do your shopping as normal, but instead of having a shop clerk beep them for you, you have to do it yourself. It's pretty straightforward, and no app is needed. Sometimes there will be a guard overseeing the terminals, but mostly you're left to your own devices. Otherwise there's usually a normal teller on hand for questions or for products that don't scan. Or if you simply want to pay with legal tender, which Norwegian shops are still obliged to accept per law.
This is a great example. Especially as it's quite possible to make delicious jerky without sugar.

But especially as Americans we demand sugar in everything. When I started removing sugar from my diet I couldn't believe all the places it hid.

- Ketchup
- Yogurt
- Salad dressing
- Coleslaw
- Spaghetti sauce
- Soups

Etc etc etc. After years of avoiding too much added sugar, if I accidentally eat any of these my mouth almost feels sick with the sweetness.

I grew up listening to the marketing and science that said FAT = BAD and so stuffed myself with raisins, low fat cookies, and baked chips. Took decades for me to recover from learning to eat that way.

1. Nope - the attny explicitly pointed to massive penalties and interest, that go far beyond the shortfall. Once they got a hold of this scheme, they REALLY did not want it to continue, and were happy to make examples of anyone stupid enough to keep trying it, or anything like it.

2. Yes, these may be possible under some circumstances, depending on the details, e.g., perhaps the program explicitly counts the not-discounted value as real-time income and pays the taxes, or, perhaps as in the original article, the are common but not actually legal.

Having started at a lower ranked school and ended at a higher ranked school, I can give you the following advice (which mostly applies to technical fields). First, do not fall into the trap of thinking that where you get your PhD, or whether you get your PhD, is some kind of indication of your worth. What matters is the quality of your work. People at top schools can do mediocre research, and people at low-ranked schools can change an entire field. Do the best research work you can do; nobody is going to care where the work was done.

Second, set expectations with your advisor -- you are not there to further your advisor's career, you are pursuing your own career goals and are not just cheap labor. If you start doing random tasks that your advisor needs done, tasks that are not related to your own research, you will find yourself doing those tasks all the time. It is like any other job, you need to make it clear that you are not going to work outside of your role.

Finally, and most important of all, keep your dignity and remember that you can always take a more satisfying job (for better pay). Make sure you pick up a master's degree ~2 years into the PhD program, it helps if you want to leave. You should never feel like you are trapped; years spent in a PhD program will count as years of relevant employment at most tech companies (at least those I am familiar with). The only reason you need a PhD is if you want a tenure track position, and you should know that junior faculty face a new lineup of BS as they work towards tenure.
I can't help pointing out that the root cause here is that the email server is signing various things in the email that the email server did not originate. There would be no problems with forwarding if the originating user signed the email instead. The identity of the email originator is what the email recipient is actually interested in. The UI could then show if you actually know the entity sending the email rather than if your email server knows the originating email server.
Actually at my favorite supermarket these people are not only staffing checkouts, they are running the store : there are no managers to be seen.

OP could just not connect to the internet, job done, right? The issue isn't so much they want privacy, it's that they want us all to have privacy.

It's not reasonable to expect average-joe to know about coreboot, seek out hardware that specifically supports it, then find a collection of browser extensions and communication tools just to have a private conversation with a friend.

Instead we should have regulations in place that make it possible to buy the computer at the local store and talk to your kids online without being monitored every step of the way.

Oh my fucking god, the number of times I've been bit by this and had hundreds of tabs closed from under me because the shortcut I press hundreds of times per day is right next to the "close everything with no confirmation". Yes, if you click the X button to close the window you are treated to an "are you sure" dialog. But if you accidentally hit Ctrl-Q that doesn't happen.
The syntax has one major insurmountable problem - it uses space as a separator and so doesn't allow spaces in target names and therefore doesn't allow spaces in filenames.

If that is the only incompatibility, it would be easy to make a patch that checks if it is called as "grep" and default to "not -rHInE" - so one could ship ripgrep as default and yet have backwards compatibility. Some busy boxes already do that iirc.

EDIT: So I've quickly looked into it and it seems nobody did an extensive comparison to the grep feature set or the POSIX specification. If I have some time later this week I might do this and check whether something like this would be viable.

Please stop thinking that one can know how “the states” are from a distance. The US is quite large and diverse. I’ve lived in four states and they were each significantly different in terms of legal structures, policies, culture, daily life etc. As an American I would rarely claim to know how things are in “the states.” I only know the parts I’ve lived in, or the few things that are actually federal in nature.

The US may be more homogeneous than Europe given its shorter history and mostly common language, but it’s far from some uniform block that you can summarize from what you saw on TV or a tourist visit to New York.

And don't get me started on trying to click on a missed call to either find out more about the number, access the voice mail or simply get rid of the "new notification" dot. I more often than not start calling the number although that's the last thing I want to do.
Under-acknowledged here is the relationship between the networks that make our devices useful and the increased homogenization of the devices themselves.

When I last truly owned my computer, connectivity (if it existed) was via dial-up.

The other thing I'd note is that we have more and better ways to communicate securely today than ever before. In the world I grew up in, we had phones, and Ma Bell knew who you called and how long you talked, and possibly even what you talked about. There was no real privacy or encryption possible; we all just pretended like those calls were private.

Private communication is possible now on Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, and I assume ChromeOS, right?
With exception to graphical score options, Dorico is by far the best out there now. Especially for orchestral/band scores where one stave normally has multiple parts (2 flutes, etc), Dorico can handle that natively now.

Dorico has great out-of-the-box defaults and the people behind it genuinely care about great engraving.

Perhaps Dorico has better graphical score engraving by now, but it didn't when it came out. I personally don't have much use for that, so I haven't followed.

And he is not wrong about that. The HTTPS/SSL infrastructure is byzantine and less concerned with actually encrypting information, but establishing trust that whoever you as the browser are communicating with is in fact the server that you expect them to be. This is not an easy problem to solve...

For the longest time, this introduced the ecosystem to professional certification authorities, which are essentially profit-oriented organisations that gauged prices.

Let´s Encrypt made some of the situation slightly better, opening up small websites to encryption, but you are still dependent on an external CA and the goodwill of the browser manufacturer to distribute their root certificate with their browsers.

> Also, how much does the bread we get at a supermarket today resemble the bread people ate 500 years ago?

I grind my own grain at home and make my own bread. 100% difference from what's available in stores vs. at home.

You'll never find any of the artisan-style almost-burn loaves that you see on pinterst using 100% whole grain. Will never poof up like that, you'll get something closer to German-style brown breads.

They pull the wheat germ -- essentially the plant embryo, but also a source of nutrients that can go bad -- out of the flour to extend shelf life. Ditto for taking out all of the bran -- fiber! -- though "whole wheat" flours will add some of that back in later. But for the most part modern breads are nothing but refined carbs with a touch of fiber.

The germ is sold separately, as a health food or feedstock for animals.

The difference in taste and shape is noticeable. It's also much, much more filling and satisfying. Not as great for avocado toast, but does pretty well with a little cream cheese and tomato (plus a pinch of salt).

I posted my bandcamp stuff in another comment, but on this thread I'm mainly looking at peoples soundcloud links because they are easier to scan through, here's mine:

This is an overly simplistic calculation. They are only taking into account the current days vaccination rate instead of calculating the rate of change in vaccinations to extrapolate the future trend. The problem is that new vaccine production is increasing, and distribution channels are improving.

It also fails to include immunity for those who have had covid. While not a perfect measure, proven cases can be used to estimate a persons immunity duration as well as the number of people who had covid but were never diagnosed with covid.

The third variable to consider is the rate that vaccines will become available as some countries reach herd immunity. For example, the US is likely to reach herd immunity by summer based on the above information. Once that happens, more of the vaccine production will go to countries that are still working towards herd immunity.

With that said I would look at this as a worse case scenario for herd immunity and not as any kind of actual case scenario.
I personally disagree. The title is succinct and well understood by people in this domain.

If completeness is defined by theory and chemical tests then that statement could be correct, but if one see form the point of what the body absorbs in terms of nutrition, that would be almost totally incorrect. Animal proteins almost always are better digestible and have less substances that irritant your gut. Plant proteins often need the right processing ( cooking, grinding, soaking etc.) to make them digestible and generally have substances that will irritate your gut. Consequently one of the most unsaid/undetected problems that vegans face is protein deficiency.

All this can be can be empirically observed. It can be a red herring when people start talking about amino acids, 'studies' etc.

> job training for lifeguards is not feasible (why?)

Growing up anyone that could swim well was desperate to become a life guard. Well above minimum pay and for 16+ that's pretty good. Plus there's an aura about being a life guard that was incredibly interesting. You get to wear shorts and t-shirts all day too.

That being said I assume most of these upcoming life guards have disappeared to do a tiktok dance...
It is silly if by "escape government control" one means avoiding taxes, buying illegal substances, etc.

But if by "escape government control" one means a currency that the government cannot interfere with to censor/stop transactions, or a currency that cannot be debased on the government's whim, the public ledger is exactly why bitcoin can do what it does.
I agree. I've found self-checkout (of the variety common in US supermarkets) to be no faster than employee-run checkout for normal grocery loads. It may be faster for a handful of items, but once the shopper has many items, particularly a lot of produce, the lookup mechanism (picture matching, usually) for he produce slows the whole thing to stand-still. Add in manual ID verification for alcohol and drug purchases and it slows even more. Add in problems with coupons, payment, or other errors, it slows more. And then most of them have some sort of scale on the bagging end which never works well - bulk items, too many items to fit on the shelf, etc.
I think the average online shopping experience is, at least for me, far preferable to the average supermarket experience with queues and so on.

This is really surprising. How do these proteins evade digestion - or do e.g. fish not denaturalize proteins during digestion at all? I would assume that they do to protect themselves from pathogens contained in their food?
Stealing is still a crime, so there is no need to have direct access to your account. At the very least you would owe the store for what you stole, just like if you're late on an electricity bill. You essentially can't escape that without emigrating.

I'm not sure that'd be a solid strategy. You have to scan your ID to get into the store. So just to raid for a 10L of milk, you'd have to then break and enter, not just steal the milk. The store is probably riddled with cameras and, with the low population density, there's not a great chance you can get away with breaking and entering, much less stealing.

My point is that the perceived "ubiquity" of notation is far exceeded by the plethora of ways music is recorded outside notation or recorded in a symbolic format that is nothing like western notation (from which is obviously the context of the OP).

I can think of sample-based music (MPC/Decks/Acousmatic tradition/Ikeda/Microsound/Chartier/Field-recordings), improvised music, as well as the most obvious modern development of MIDI data and the piano roll which is not an interchangeable format with a "score".

If we aren't exclusively talking about "notation" in a more general sense, we haven't even touched on the wealth of folk/traditional music out there with literally no recorded symbolic formats or concept of a written history such as australian aboriginal music.

>In fact, most of my mentors at Brain encouraged me to enroll in the PhD program. Only one researcher strongly discouraged me from pursuing a PhD, comparing the experience to “psychological torture.” I was so shocked by his dark warning that I didn’t ask any follow-up questions, he didn’t elaborate, and our meeting ended shortly afterwards.

What he did was discounted the unpopular and negative opinion because it was so polarising: “psychological torture”.
