RIP. I'm sure this acquisition will be great for the team but it's pretty obvious Getty will fill the site with tricky sponsored images. They will also likely start fading out new free images until the site is mostly stale or filled with sponsored image links. I could also see them playing around with image licensing so it's less obvious how you can use them. Welp, I guess there's always Pexels.
[citation needed] That's a pretty bold statement. I'm pro free speech, but believe it should have limits in a civilized society.

I don't know what the answer is, or where the line should be but entirely unrestricted free speech isn't the infalable utopia that the US is conditioned to believe.
I actually made a lot of money with it. So I don't think I'm biased because of that. It dropped to 4k afterwards ( I could have purchased again, but if something falls from my watchlist, i don't care about it anymore).

What is probably biasing me, is that I had a digital magazine and the #1 hit was for "how to recover Bitcoin password".

Which also leads me to my conclusion: "There's currently no replacement for a official and trusted centralized authority in Crypto".

This. Whoever knows and respects science knows it's a process, it's slow, it's full of contradictory results, hesitations, contrarians and cliques. It's the best we have for getting closer to useful truths about the world, but if you think you can take the last published paper and use that as the final support for your worldview, then you didn't understand how it works.

My objection here is that code should be self-explanatory, and icecream or ic() doesn't explain itself, so at least I'd prefer a name like icecream_debugger and replace ic() with pr(), perhaps.

Lying is lying. Instead of lying they could have simply said, "Here's how to turn a tshirt into a mask. If anyone can mass produce masks, start now!"

No lie needed. In fact the lying made things worse. Saying masks arent needed means people didnt work to produce masks early on.

Some of they definitely are. One of the most famous, Phoenix canariensis is endemic from Spanish Islands. The Mediterranean has also several native palms, and even ecosystems when palms are one of the dominant species. Chamaerops humilis, the palmito, is a small palm. Is a 100% legit European palm (and a fairly decent vegetable also that could fit perfectly in this list).

I recently started uploading pictures to Unsplash. I'm not sure I'll continue with that.
It would not, because gRPC is agnostic to the payload format. You simply pass it pre-formatted payloads instead of passing pointers to proto messages.
The reason for that is because both Taiwan and China insist that you either recognize Taiwan xor you recognize China, but you cannot recognize both. (This is basically what the One China Policy means).

Additionally, world wars are never triggered intentionally. World War I broke out essentially because the decision makers ignored the wider consequences of +1'ing their opponent's military preparations (one author characterizes it as Europe sleepwalking into war). World War II broke out unexpectedly because Hitler underestimated the spine the Allies had when he requested they add Danzig to his list of silver platters. World War III will likely break out when someone crosses a red line to one party that isn't clearly communicated to another party--and a Chinese attempt to invade Taiwan is one of the likelier options on that list.
I just started using it a bit and can see myself using it as an alternative for simple stuff I would otherwise do in Excel / Google Sheets.

> Achieving high-tech autarky is a first step towards a war with china becoming viable.

That's a false dillema. The choice is not between self-sufficiency and war with China, and dependency and ever-lasting peace with China.

The choice is actually between war with China when China controls all the industry, and war with China when it fails to control and restrict access to that resource.

Given the choice, achieving self-sufficiency is more likely to ensure peace/dissuade war than dependency.
Those companies only want to offer BTC as a payment option but don't want to hold crypto themselves. So they didn't really choose BTC to start with. Which makes sense since most companies need to pay their costs in fiat money.

Getty already offers free images through embeddable content as well as brand partnerships, so it's natural for them to want a fresh injection of great work. Especially since their library has been rather stale for so long. It's hard to keep nice pictures coming in when photographers are getting royalty statements of only pennies. Of course, that's still more than Unsplash photographers receive. It will be interesting to see how Getty leverages this new model of 'images as ad network.'

The Unsplash dashboard features the number of image views/downloads very prominently and artists treat it as a kind of cachet. An image with 100,000 views at $2.00 CPM is what, $200? It's strange to me that photographers brag about their view counts when it's plain evidence of how much the company is making off their shadow labor. Credit to the Unsplash team for taking this dissonance to its apex - it really did require a new way of viewing images as assets that hadn't exist before. I'm hopeful that they can bring that kind of thinking to Getty. I'm not that hopeful that any photographer benefits from this new partnership.

"Now 26, I moved back to L.A. to publish a magazine and go to grad school and write a book ..."

I'm embarrassed to be a little jealous. I grew up in a similar place, albeit more like "Trailer park boys" and "Gummo" than a romantic western. And, the best outcome one'd hope for a school's valedictorian is to not die of opioids or poor health before they're 26.

Anyway, I'd love to read similar types of stories from other countries. For instance, how about a Chinese boy who abandons his studies at Peking University in Beijing to move to Xinjiang and back again. Is there such a thing?
Yes I am, but not in specifics. It's already been mentioned since 2017...

Oh, motorcycle teams, didn't even occur to me to work on motorcycles despite ton of my friends race on local tracks.

I hung around in a pit while I was in college, just an extra hand helping my friend's dad who competes in drag races. That was a super interesting experience, but a lot of unsafe, messy (arguable illegal) shit going on. Being an Asian in an all "country boy" environment wasn't pleasant, but I enjoyed my team's company. I can't even imagine how freaking cool it would be to work on F1 teams.
Not sure I'd trust the expertise of someone who doesn't know how to redirect to https...
Well that's wasn't even a comment about gun laws or anything like that, just that kind of "raw" mentality of "I need to display a weapon on my motorcycle openly to be respected" is straight out of Mad Max, where cars and motorcycles are adorned with weapons and spikes to strike fear and respect in your enemies. At least that's how I read it.
That is a reflection from the MacBook screen
I don't see that as a waste of time at all. The programmer learned a lot and didn't damage the codebase, assuming the changes went unmerged. This sounds like a pretty good way to come to grips with the problem domain.
If by "strictly enforced" you mean a colleague will change your lock screen background to a goatse then that's how I learned.
I think that last part is a really important point; lots of talk here about logical solutions to the problem but depression isn’t logical. You may rationally know daily exercise could be as effective as your meds, but finding that motivation when you can’t get out of bed is a large gulf to cross.
Good for you mate, just keep in mind that a large part of your purchase decisions are still influenced by paid media (not only advertising) - as long as you're aware of that, you're safer, that's the true adblock.
I've tweaked my post slightly; I was referring to the perception of it being rushed for political reasons. It's clearly safe and pursued using proper scientific methods, but there was legitimate concern that the President would apply pressure to approve something prematurely. That would be very much in character -- as we saw when he applied pressure to change votes.

Korean corps hate china almost as much as us corps. CCP has been running anti korea product news for years which have eviscerated their businesses. Lately they have been going after cultural theft saying that they invented their language, their traditional clothing and even kimchi. Korea is fed up, and when forced to choose china or the west, they are choosing the west as a long term business investment.

I am unclear why Getty Images would be interested, unless the purchase price was less than the cost of internally building its own loss leader open source image site that allows them to try to upsell to “premium” photos.

Users have limited loyalty to any particular source of “free”. Getty presumably has a far larger library from which to pull images, so there can’t be any advantage to Unsplash’s library.

I am guessing it was a very low purchase price.
My Faith isn't based on rules--it's based on forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins. Through that my past is washed clean and I'm able to directly communicate with my Heavenly Father and receive the gift of salvation. If you believe in Jesus Christ, it should change your behavior and you'll hopefully live with the fruits of the spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Faithfulness, Meekness, and self-control. Religion is the various rules and bureaucracy that we put on ourselves. Churches that promote rules and not living out your faith shouldn't be supported. I don't participate in a religion, I try to live my Faith and love others. I choose to participate in a church that supports community and loving others. We aren't meant to go through life on our own, I firmly believe that we need community and spiritual support.
"Antiscience is the rejection of mainstream scientific views and methods or their replacement with unproven or deliberately misleading theories, often for nefarious and political gains."

The problem with that definition is "mainstream" science is also full of unproven theories, often for nefarious and political gains. The only real difference between what they consider science vs antiscience is how mainstream the views are. That seems like a poor way to determine scientific credibility.

Exactly. It pissed me off to no end when at the beginning of the pandemic the health minister of my country mindlessly parroted WHO in their initial "masks do not help" stance. How can anyone treat what we are being told seriously when instead of telling us the truth (masks help, but please don't hoard them because we need them for first responders) they choose to lie in the simplest things.

Same thing with real numbers of people that suffer issues after receiving covid vaccines. The only countries I know of that are truthful in this is UK (their yellow card scheme) and USA(VAERS database). Anyone can see that in UK there were around 500 deaths that occurred shortly after vaccination (20 mln people vaccinated) and in US around 1000 last time I checked (for 60mln vaccinated). Anyone can search those databases and compare incidence of for example vascular issues, stroke, or anaphylaxis to their "natural" incidence in the population. However, in my country where we have 5mln people vaccinated half of people are fearing "death by vaccine" because "few cases of stroke" are linked to the vaccine. Coincidently there is no open database of issues. Clearly politicians think people are too stupid to be told the truth that the likelyhood of "death by vaccine" is extremely low as compared with "death by covid" in pretty much all age groups. Instead of presenting real numbers they claim "there is no risk" in taking the vaccine.

Additionally people stopped believing the bullshit they hear after hearing multiple "experts" telling us various versions of:
"uv will kill covid so it'll end by the summer"(then brasil had huge outbreak), "children do not get ill", "children do not pass the disease to adults", "you can't get infected outside or if you keep 2 meters distance" "no need for masks at work if you can maintain 2m distance". Then a year later: "we're closing nurseries and schools because despite teachers being vaccinated we see high numbers of children spreading covid to their families" and "40% of covid transmission happens at workplaces despite adherence to measures put in place". One doesn't need to be a genius to understand those were lies of convenience and wishful thinking. I seriously hope politicians in charge will be brought to justice after this pandemic ends.
I think the first option (backdoor patch) is actually the most likely for a dedicated state actor - especially since it needs to pass all the CI tests anyway.

And given large amount of resources you’d be adding something that would only trigger when combined with something else on the target machine (think Stuxnet).
Improving Shell Workflows with Fzf
At the time, it was pretty clear to me from the guidance given that:

1. The efficacy of masks for protecting against SARS-CoV-2 was unknown;
2. People in high risk professions will need to wear them as a precaution even if they might not be as effective as we would like, so the advise to the public was to not buy them for this reason
But why? Why are they a bad idea besides “Windows does it and ‘Windows bad’”? Why is DNS case insensitive (example.com and EXAMPLE.com are the same), but not files (.Xauthority and .xauthority are different)?

Case insensitivity lines up with the average user’s expectations. For example, if I’m searching for a file, I want a case insensitive match. Because if I named a file “Resume.txt” and searching “resume” didn’t bring it up, I’d be pretty confused. Now imagine the average Joe trying it. Explaining to them case sensitivity won’t convince them it’s a good idea because “Resume” and “resume” are the same thing.
I think in future more companies will adapt a complete all-online format specially after the pandemic.

One my friends have attended Apple Developer Conference in past and he loved the whole process. But there is lot of money spent traveling to California, hotel stay, food .... But now with events being online it should save small companies lot of money too and hopefully Apple gets more participation with online format.
Actually they are pretty relevant, because they can provide merchant protection, currency exchange, scalability and privacy to cryptocurrencies. You don't need to use them, but they're useful to many.
