I really do not understand why you need to have root access to cameras.
I don't trust people having root access to my servers, why should I trust you having root access to my surveillance?
In terms of the qualities of the wood, the Asian and European Chestnuts are less dense, less strong and has coarser grain structure compared to the American Chestnut. I might be wrong but I've heard the other Chestnuts don't grow nearly as large or as fast.
The author of the article apparently shares your view about dark matter — could you explain what you find objectionable about it?

It seems to me that there is a class of concepts in theoretical physics that some people take an almost instinctive dislike to: dark matter, string theory, eternal inflation and the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics are prominent ones. I get the impression that there is a correlation; a person who is sceptical about dark matter seems to be much more likely to be sceptical about certain other ideas too, and to have a more favourable view of alternatives like Modified Newtonian Dynamics and Bohmian Mechanics.

It's as though there is a sort of partisanship in opinion about theoretical physics: just as it is often possible to tell what somebody's view is likely to be about a whole slew of political issues if you know their opinion about one or two controversial topics, the same seems to apply to a large extent in theoretical physics too.

I'm fascinated by this because in the early to mid 2000s I would have counted myself as both a dark matter and many worlds sceptic, but I take the opposite view of both now, and I find it difficult to put myself back into my old frame of mind.

My sense is that the divide is somehow related to different attitudes to falsifiability, abstractness and explanatory parsimony.
My information is outdated, but last I knew, Go always parked a goroutine when making a syscall. Seems like a lot of overhead to read bytes that you know are there from an epolled fd.
absolutely wild to me that Real Engineers (TM) complained about this in JavaScript for years only for it to be called a "newbie mistake" in Go.
Curiously, resistance to oxalic acid is also a question in human health. We are protected by the symbiotic bacteria Oxalobacter formigenes, which normally functions to prevent oxalate kidney stones and is lost with some antibiotic treatments. So my first thought was to find a similar microbe that degrades oxalic acid and teach it to live on chestnut trees.
It was the military that was committing genocide, and the prior government was unable to control them.

The US system is in the hands of the administrators. Not docs, not even the govt: administrators, usually belonging to a behemoth (private) company that has immense and intrinsic lobbying power due to the nature of the industry. There can be no shortage of buyers. Well, admins wanting to earn more just have one thing to do: reproduce by complexifying the system. Private healthcare is a garbage fire.

Hello there, thank you for contacting DigitalOcean.

I understand you are unable to connect to your Space bucket. Our engineers have identified the cause of this issue and have applied a fix for it swiftly. You should now be able to access your Spaces without any issues.
The team is also working to raise the urgency/visibility of these alerts when they get fired.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Kindly let us know if you have any additional questions.

Swimmingly,

You should have got an "Account review notice" and an "Important Service Update" email from them that says you have 90 days to transfer your funds out. After that your account would be locked.

I got my funds back within that period.

Now of course, it's questionable whether it's right to just lock up peoples' money after a self imposed time limit without their consent - even though it's for regulatory reasons. But that's not the same as them arbitrarily locking up your money.
I still don't understand. My coinbase wallet has collectables, but no way to prove ownership of the collectable. If I can't take a challenge from anyone a spit out a signed response without downloading/installing additional software it kinda defeats the whole purpose no?
how is that legal? you are telling me you won't know how much sometime costs until you have to pay for the service? is that not illegal? reminds me of Chinese scam of foreigners where women lure men to restaurants on the take and give you a massive bill at the end telling you it does cost that much but since you can't read Chinese its your fault.

Then train the models on real world data? Verify outputs enough until confidence is achieved.

The computer can do whatever it wants. People can do whatever they want. The question will be what level of security access will they have.

The key difference today is people are really good at making rationalizations for individual decisions. Computers are not.

Sometimes decisions are generally important, when they are important they require trust, and if these models never generate a method of demonstrating success/trust they won't be adopted.

The reason I asked is because I'm really not well educated on the alternatives. I've just used SysVinit a little bit (on older Ubuntu) and while I've been learning more and more sysadmin-related stuff this past couple of years, it's all been systemd.
Funny that you mention wart removal. I once got a $450 bill for wart removal cryosurgery. “Cryosurgery” meant a one second spray of the wart with liquid nitrogen. Outrageous.
I've had Der Struwwelpeter since I was a child. My mother had cut out a couple pages where the tailor cut the kid's thumbs off, thinking it was too horrific. All that did was make me very curious what the missing pages contained!

Anyhow, I always loved the great illustrations and stories.

Any fan should also look up "Max und Moritz" in the same vein.
Why did it fail,may I ask? Epic and Blizzard are US based but do significant business in the EU, so lots of stuff would apply to them.
No one argues that the California or Texas power grids were geared to be unreliable and fail, but they were deliberately engineered over the years in specific ways for specific reasons.

Our medical system is no different. Insurers developed byzantine claims departments and custom plans as a way to make medical coding complicated and error prone for the purpose of denying claims due to error. They setup private panels and doctors to reviews claims and treatment plans with the explicit purpose of denying claims as not medically necessary.

The system is designed to intimidate, overwhelm, and confuse and it's stacked against both the customer and the medical provider.
In this analogy, the Bitcoiners would be credentialed graduates of non-economics fields that contain relevance to Bitcoin, and bringing their scholastic experiences to bear on convincing economists about Bitcoin.

That wasn't the only black teenager killed in CHAZ. That was the second incident.

And they absolutely didn't dismantle the protest zone the next day. They dismantled the protest zone the day after protesters showed up outside of the mayor's house.

The glossed over and inaccurate nature of your comment reminds me of talking to someone who watches highly partisan media. I'm going to take a wild guess that you thought CHAZ was a good idea, didn't you?
Expanding on the theme a little bit, here's the opening from East Asia Before the West ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/0231153198/ ):

> In 1592, the Japanese general Hideyoshi invaded Korea, transporting over 160,000 troops on approximately seven hundred ships. He eventually mobilized half a million troops, intending to continue on to conquer China. Over sixty thousand Korean soldiers, eventually supported by over one hundred thousand Ming Chinese forces, defended the Korean peninsula. After six years of war, the Japanese retreated, and Hideyoshi died, having failed spectacularly in his quest.

> The Imjin War "easily dwarfed those of their European contemporaries" and involved men and material five to ten times the scale of the Spanish Armada of 1588, which has been described as "the greatest military force ever assembled" in Renaissance Europe. [2]

> [2] The Spanish armada consisted of thirty thousand troops on 130 ships and was defeated by twenty thousand English troops.

The Korean peninsula is about 86,000 square miles. Japan is about 146,000. (Modern) Spain is 195,000 square miles.

The fragmentation of Europe had really severe effects on the resources it was able to muster.
There used to be a televangelist that did something similar. He would light up his cigar and drink his whiskey, and yell at the audience he was not going to preach until a his audience called in with some donation threshold. He would then cut to footage of his/a horse running around in a field/pen.
That’s a really interesting observation. Well, the main thing I didn’t like was the labelling of an unknown as if it was a thing that was known. I don’t have anything against the theory, just the way it was named as if it was more certain to exist than it really is.
Right? My speakers are nearly thirty years old. My current set up, new, would be $30k, adjusted for inflation.
The concerning thing about glyphosate from a biochemistry standpoint is that it's a very small molecule. As any engineer knows, small objects fit in lots of holes. It's also got a phosphonic acid component which is not a normal motif in biology and could (maybe) disrupt the function of any protein that happens to bind to it.

The intention of glyphosate is reasonable, but the effect can be different.
Awesome! SQLite, from my perspective at least is feature-complete! Anyone else have any notable missing features?
Fastest selling, sure, but still selling far less than it could if there were more to buy! I have been trying to find one but it wasn't until I by pure luck got one of 5000 units that were sold out in 4 minutes. That was last week! If I remember the numbers I've seen correctly then the PS5 outsold the previous quarterly record (PS4 launch) in two months while most buyers couldn't find one. It's insane.

It is a nice piece of tech. I have two big slow-moving fans in my cabinet to make my PS4 shut up but now I can hear them instead of the console. I have yet to hear the actual console even though I'm playing 4K@60 and 120hz games.
Sounds similar to how I do my tax on gov.au here. There are a lot of federal government services on there, most I have never used, and an OTP app. Income tax takes a few minutes. It knows about any contributions. If you have simple financials it is reasonably painless. If you have a lot of money and investments you are going to an accountant anyway.

Yes, one anecdote of aboriginal neglect justifies wholesale removal of children from their families and ancestral traditions which have existed for millennia.

What kind of bizarre logic is this? Would you deploy the same logic if I found you an instance of child abuse for a "non-aboriginal" family in Australia?

If it’s true, or even if in this instance it’s not, it makes you wonder how many things there are that someone could just figure out with just the currently available information.
My gradma would read them to me when I had to go to sleep.

They were all pretty harsh and somehow we never talked about what happened in them.

TBH I never understood the appeal of dropbox, drive, mega, etc

Is it the UI? Is it keeping your data safe? Is it the sync?

I never used their native applications because I hate constant syncing for no reason and running proprietary apps (especially if they're always on), but I use some of their free tiers to store stuff.

If I had to pay I'd just buy some space on some server at the cheapest price per gb there is.
I recently asked myself the same question, found no satisfactory answers, and wrote a solution. It uses the backup software "restic" to provide secure hosting on a variety of cloud providers. Restic is immutable by design, and my software basically "backs up" the .git folder to a restic repository. I use S3, but you could easily use any cloud storage provider or local NAS or anything else restic supports.

Shameless plug: https://github.com/CGamesPlay/git-remote-restic
Spectre is a consequence of just about any speculative execution combined with shared CPU caches (or even shared memory busses, even without shared cache). Since nobody (including Apple) knows how to make a CPU fast without those things all high-performance CPUs are potentially vulnerable. Unless we go back to single-core single-processor systems without speculative execution (or flushing all cache on every context switch) some variant or other of a Spectre attack will be possible.

If you want to be invulnerable to this you're basically stuck with a microcontroller.

Are you saying ICE cars aren't at risk of incidental fire from other [burning] cars, what with their 10+ gallon gasoline tanks?
I was able to withdraw my money within the 90 day grace period, even after seeing the pop up. Have you checked if you're still within the 90 days from their email notice, and is your account fully locked at the moment (i.e. you can still go to your wallet and press withdraw)?
> wow where did you go that taught tech ethics 20 years ago!? that's hard to find anywhere 20 years later

Maybe it’s become rare now, I dunno, but I also took a computer ethics course at my state university about 20 years ago.
You better believe I have my credit reports locked now and for anybody reading this I recommend you go do this now if you haven't already (it is free and easy).

I've had to unlock them a few times and I can unlock all three in under 5 minutes.

I also have a fraud alert on my reports now which was only slightly inconvenient when getting utilities because I had to go in person to verify myself (utility companies don't report to credit agencies afaik but they do some sort of identity check through them).
Also, the Japanese government and individual national universities, including Hokkaido University [1, in Japanese], have regulations on the export of technology that can be used for military purposes. I work at another national university in Japan, and there has been a lot of internal debate, with political overtones, about how strictly those regulations should be enforced and how to deal with technology that has both military and civilian applications. I can easily imagine the researchers at Hokkaido University deciding that the military coup in Myanmar meant that deploying the satellite would run the risk of violating the rules of either their own university or the Japanese government.

I don't know how long you have been here, but the general HN opinion for nearly 10 years is that bitcoin will fail.
Let's be honest, the average user (even myself) will just click 'okay'. It doesn't help anyone and just causes annoyances for most users. If there was proper legislation to block the tracking full-stop then maybe it'd make a difference but in the end it's just a half-measure that causes frustration for both parties. The users that have to dismiss the prompts and websites that have to implement them.
The fact that you can post pretty much any video you make for people to watch is totally counterculture the media studio TV programming culture that has lost viewers to platforms like YT. It has become so big itself that it is now pretty much the defacto culture.

I don't think I've seen milk that's not rBST free, even the cheap store brands. Where are you even finding it?

Organic milk is often UHT pasteurized which gives it a slightly scalded flavor. That might be what your tasting, rather than any nutritional difference.
Great points. I suspect a non-degenerative model is orders of magnitude harder, in that good long prose requires much deeper complexity.

For example, I was just reading this excellent long piece from Rebecca Traister: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/andrew-cuomo-miscond...

Even if a language model had all the raw facts needed to write a long piece, there's a ton of structure here. She develops ideas, builds themes, assembles a thesis. She is not just going somewhere, but carefully taking us along with her. That requires modeling not just textual relationships, but taking conceptual relationships and expressing them in ways that require deep awareness of how the audience processes information.

So I'd be willing to bet a true non-degenerative model requires an increasingly complex and accurate theory of mind.
If depends if there is a physiological pathway between the mRNA and whatever neural structure is used for memory. This does not necessarily mean that the same effect can be replicated in mammals, a snail is several magnitudes simpler than your typical mammallia animal. It would nonetheless be quite interesting to study.

Hypothetically, if memory and experiences can be, to use a programmer term, serialized into mRNA, then that would be quite an advancement for brain computer interface technology as the mRNA can then be amplified and sequenced to extract out the information.
The solution proposed in that paper, nucleolus sampling, effectively solves this problem though...
If OP’s point was that Thomas Jefferson said something close to “All Lives Matter” 250 years ago in the Declaration of Independence, therefore it’s not a reaction to “Black Lives Matter” today, it seems most reasonable to examine the contemporaneous context of the original words.
Always always always challenge it. In the American medical system is that the first bill is a first position. Expect to negotiate down, even with insurance, by at least 20%.

It’s time consuming, and confusing, and people will fob you off. But it’s necessary unless you want to get taken for a ride.
Is there something wrong? Why isn't the clue `(O|RHH|MM)*` satisfied by blankness?
there are cases were coroutines and threads can be used interchangeably.

But often times, they co-exist together to solve the problem. That's the case in Go. goroutines run on threads after all.

Op's could have used a better example like a web/tcp server handling 100k connections and showed the difference between coroutines alone, threads alone, and both combined.
In my case the database is designed in a way that analysts have to use many tricks (nested windows functions for example) to get what they need. This technically can be fixed by a re-design of the whole database but in reality it's not practical.

One job that I have never seen a company does well is the transalation of business requirements through programmers and database designers/admins. Each has its own agenda and you need someone who is excel in all three fields to make the connection smooth and lossless. I have yet to find someone who is.

I'd also like to add that if business teams (analysts) stop complaining about database qualities, it doesn't mean you have implemented the right fixes. It usually means that they are so desperate that they decide to just live with them.
You seem to assume people accepted the definition and ignored the term. Try asking about withdrawing support for a public figure or a company without calling it cancel culture.

They came close actually. 53% said "people should expect social consequences for expressing unpopular opinions in public" was closer to their opinion. Only 31% said "There should not be social consequences for expressing unpopular opinions in public, even those that are deeply offensive to other people because free speech is protected" was closer to their opinion.

How many ordinary people were terminated because of a coordinated harassment campaign? Numbers not anecdotes.
I definitely agree it's not publicly available. I too applied in Dec 2020 and just the other day (09 March) received a key. Hang in there, it'll come :)
Did they provide a list of variants in the paper?

If so, selection among embryos for the trait could be done now via IVF and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis.

Most companies wouldn't offer the service due to unwanted PR but any competent bioinformatician could do it given the data, I'm sure some would do it for bitcoin.

Modifying humans is prohibited and dangerous with current technology due to off target effects.
As superb a piece of software as SQLite is, it's definitely still missing features that many would use. No FULL OUTER JOINs is maybe the most notable that I've encountered.

Are you using "human trafficking" when you mean "hiring workers who lack documentation"? These are not the same thing, and I don't believe anyone who knows enough English to have encountered that term would make that mistake.
As she should. Trust but verify. The biggest question is what will this be applied to. Without it we can't really discuss approaches towards developing that trust.

I'd consider The ability to output a rationalization in human understandable text (ie: english in my case) will determine success /failure.
Your article talks a lot about data but nothing about the negotiated rates with insurers.
The point isn't really for it to fall into the sun, just to push it to some kind of orbit that is irrelevant to the space junk problem.
Come on, I even gave you specific examples of specific issues that are widely recognized to be leftist. Denying it is like denying that anti-black racism is a predominantly right wing extreme.
You'd need tons. It's plausible but I don't think it's practical. Also, magnesium and titanium can burn in pure nitrogen, so it's not a panacea.
Especially worth watching the quote right at the end.
