Interesting. The intent was the opposite, as in, support of small-time street law enforcement dealing with chronic violent criminals, versus fear-mongering about extremists. Although I admit I’ve neither watched that movie nor read the OP article (forum foul; I know). I did spent a good portion of my life hunting terrorists, and along the way there are always to be found plenty of unquestionably terrible people that are clearly under no conviction that they are in any way serving some greater purpose. These are not very interesting and all too common. They’re so dumb and simple you can’t even hate them, and there are no medals for removing them from society. People want diabolical comic book superhero-villain stories. I’m not sure it works out that way. If it was as simple as taking out a few bad apples, we wouldn’t be permanently embroiled in multi-trillion dollar decades-long conflicts that end up doing exactly what I was talking about, peacekeeping through local police to establish law and order and sustainable communities. So when I see these spectacles at home, I think of when the old gunny admonished me, “We are not authorized to target any US person. No American is ever supposed to be the enemy.” It’s not exactly the same, but, it just seems like our first public mutual responsibility is to get all of our citizens to feel like they at least belong here, and believe that they can find ways to peacefully make small consensus steps toward some of the things they believe in, just as they may also make small concessions for the beliefs of others. People with coherent beliefs about something are nearly perfect examples of the easily-reformed. Thoughts can lead someone back to peace. Impulsive violence and exploitation of others, often from substance abuse, is nearly incurable. This is the real enemy.
Iran should embrace the reality that regardless of whatever diplomatic agreements they reach with the rest of the world Israel is simply never going to let them have nuclear weapons.
It's not terrorism but sabotage, indeed.

Why is it reasonable?

People are investing money into a business that they hope will be worth money in the future. Upfront losses are just part of that investment.

If I decide I'm going to retrain in a better paying field, should I be able to claim my college fees as an offset against future earnings?
If I’m understanding the situation correctly you’ll be in the 97% percentile of individual income while working on average 30 hours a week. You also can pick up and move anywhere in the country and be pretty confident of finding a comparably paying job. As mentioned, involuntary unemployment is all but unheard of in your profession. Within the hospital you’re near the top of the pecking order. Outside work your profession is well respected and rarely is the subject of hit pieces in prestige media.

I’m not saying it’s the best set up in the world, but it’s pretty good. Certainly a lot of people would consider it worth the financial costs of admission. (The hazing parts of medical training are unnecessary and unfortunate, different people are going to suffer more or less from that.)

Edit: Everyone is entitled to blow off steam. Nothing is perfect and there’s always going to be downsides to every profession. It just seems like complaining doctors is something of a cliche but I’ve yet to have one convince me that’s it’s not a pretty sweet gig, loans and medmal notwithstanding.
I've found Dolby Atmos for Headphones to be pretty good. I play the video game Overwatch and it integrates atmos into it's sound processing pipeline and the sound is incredibly accurate. You can tell when people are behind/in front/above/below you very reliably.

Israel does seem to be taking responsibility. Israeli “public radio took the unusual step of claiming that the Mossad intelligence agency had played a central role.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/11/israel-appears...
FPGA cores are based on CPU emulators, so they aren't more accurate than the emulator, and decapping a chip doesn't help. FPGAs are written in languages like Verilog that are still high-level and do some probably misguided tricks to make it look like you're programming them with a vaguely C syntax.
Israel has obvious motive for making attacks on Iranian infrastructure. Portugal has no such motive for attacking Texas. Having motive of course isn't the same thing as being guilty but does make for an obvious place to start looking. It's also possible that the Times has some information that they cannot source at this time. Or they're just making things up, in which case, keep this story in mind next time you read some story in the Times that has no credible source attributed but fits a narrative you're interested in hearing. Pretty much anything coming out of the media these days needs extra examination for their own set of motives.

Fax is the cheapest way to get forecast if you sail offshore through a service called "weather fax". Alternatives works through satellite with hefty monthly subscriptions. That service is the reason I bought yet another raspberry pi with a software defined radio module.
I would not be surprised if airline companies lobbied for unrealistically short pre- and post-flight times - much like how they often sell really tight connections that result in you having to run halfway across O'Hare for some reason.
The trick in Austin is to remember that 9 months of the year are pleasant not that 3 are awful.

There are plenty of high-speed services (up to 350 km/h) in northern China, Korea, Japan and Russia, all of which have severe winters and (on the west coast of Japan) some of highest snowfalls on the planet.
> Outside of media heavy applications such as video conferencing software, do websites explicitly do specific things to “support” Firefox beyond complying with the specs?

You'd be surprised. Apple Business Manager does not support Firefox, for example.

> uBlock filter lists can provide fallback shims that would be loaded in place of ad scripts to deal with this exact problem. The shim implements a neutered version of the original script so that all the surrounding (non-malicious) code can continue to run without errors.

My point was that ads were being accidentally blocked and that websites wouldn't get their ad revenue.
Assuming that the sources are trustworthy, and I trust the NYT in their due diligence on this, what incentive is there for the sources to lie about an admission of responsibility? Personally I don’t see one. If it was the opposite I might be more skeptical.
That's all the browser engines you get that can load most pages today so if one is out for being too far behind what's implemented and another is out for personal reasons that leaves you with Firefox. People not using Firefox anymore (95% on desktop and 99% on mobile) just have different personal reasons that outrank "I trust the organization behind it values me" when selecting their browser.

As far as fun tech things Flow looks like it could be interesting but they aren't interested in being your day to day browser (yet at least) and it's still early in it's life.

For "chromium browsers that aren't a megacorp" Brave and Vivaldi are oft talked about. I don't really see all the appeal of Brave myself but it does have some decent customization options while still being able to be typical Chromium. Vivaldi is the old Opera spirit of "your browser can be a pane window with a web page in it or modern emacs" but the way it is implemented causes it to become a bit slower than other Chromium browsers. Ungoogled chromium is also a popular thing, basically Chromium minus some stuff.

For another fun tech thing "wexond" is a browser built in... Electron :). It used to have some whacky ideas but these days it's turning into more of a "chrome built out of chrome's guts". It has (and still is) been a work in progress and I'm not sure it has a fully reliable security policy for use day to day but it's still interesting to check out for fun if that's your thing https://github.com/wexond/browser-base/releases/tag/v5.2.0 notably it's the only browser I've seen with a built in single line tabs/url/extensions/menu/window-buttons gui option.

I agree. For cleaning up a fingerprint I would think you could get good enough using Opencv. People have been cleanly vectoring raster images long before deep learning.

If you can automate it using a combination of Gimp filters + Inkscape, you probably can do it pretty easily convert that process into code.
Is it? I would have assumed that use of nuclear weapon would be needed for nuclear terrorism. The idea of 'nuclear terrorism' puts a very different picture in my head than this. If someone dropped a nuclear bomb 'Equation Group' of the NSA would you call that a 'cyber terrorism'.
Weird, maybe it's just real estate and medical then but several times we've been unable to get around it.

I initially wrote a fax App using the Twilio API to send some medical forms that could only be faxed. Since then I've had to use it for the sale of two homes, and this past summer it was augmented to receive faxes for closing on a home. My partner ask me for the number just last week to request some medical records from out of state.

Mozart became famous at the age of 14 by transcribing Allegri's Miserere from memory after hearing it performed in the Sistine Chapel. It was a piece of music that had been composed about 150 years earlier, and which was not permitted to be written down or distributed, only to be performed once a year during Holy Week services in the Chapel.

In general these sources are known employees of these agencies whom the journalist knows and can vouch for. However the idea is they would never give up their name. These same people may sometimes be quoted directly but we don't know. So the journalist believes the source that's why it is printed. If it turned out to be demonstrably incorrect then next time you don't trust the journalist and the journalist doesn't trust the source.

Remember this is a 2 way street. The intelligence agencies want everyone to know it was them, but they can't go claiming credit in public,so you get an unnamed source.
Scientology "science" by Hubbard. For anyone wondering.
I know amazon is a very organized and advanced company, but you can be sure that one thing walmart has invested in and stays on the cutting edge of is union busting. I would wager they are operating on a different level than amzn when it comes to union busting and union avoidance.

Had a friend that was a butcher at walmart back when there was talk of unionizing. It was a walmart in a small town and the moment even a rumor of unions started spreading, walmart was flying in corporate jets full of lawyers and psychologists and educators to make sure that no one unionized.

I guess they decided the risk was too great so they shut down their meat packing section in every store across America. I believe to this day, there are no butchers in walmarts. They bring in the meat pre-cut and pre-packed. Probably by a wholly owned subsidiary that they can easily shut down if things ever go sideways.
And Sigmund Freud a few decades before that. They're not slow on the uptake, even the false-memory crowd are a reaction to the idea of buried traumatic memory.
I think these classifiers need to be open-sourced. Can you imagine Google, FB and Twitter AIs voting on the filters? Who would trust that? With open-sourced code, people can check it and see for themselves. Maybe there could be multiple versions of the filters? That way, if some people disagree with the words classifiers, they can use the versions that they like. I think the key here is to give people tools to protect themselves, if they want to. On the flip side, there should be no censorship of the content for the general public. The default = all filters are off. If something offends you, - go get the filter and don't bother other people.
The valve index headset does a great job with this. They use speakers a few cm away from each ear. The sound is one of the most immersive elements in my opinion. It doesn't get alot of attention because it's so well implemented that it's almost hard to notice.

Most of the stuff in this article is misleading or straight-up wrong. Delaware isn't a tax haven, and most companies will see zero tax benefit from incorporating there.

The reason they do so is that Delaware corporate law is now the de facto US corporate law. Lawyers, auditors, tax professionals etc. all study Delaware's codes in school, no matter which state they come from. The entire ecosystem is extremely mature and up to date. Most other states on the other hand don't even recognize modern corporate governance. Try resolving a conflict between founders/investors about voting rights, class A vs class C shares, bylaws etc. in a court in North Dakota or Mississippi.

Delaware is, for better or worse, the corporate law version of silicon valley. Unless registration and regulation of corporations starts happening at the Federal level (which is unlikely), it will continue to be so.
I feel like statements like these do a disservice to the science behind them. The “fight of flight” is meant as a simplification of automatic behavior changes (which might involve different chemistry in the brain which increases alertness; and in evolutionary terms are beneficial to your survival and procreation). But it is a gross oversimplification. There is little evidence that the systems involved are a direct fight or flight response system. They are certainly involved in fight or flight but that is not by any means the only time they activate.

This article makes a passing mention of the term defensive response. I like that term a lot better as it catches things like potential embarrassment and failures as well.

I always thought it would be cool if someone made a sound-based gui alternative using spatial audio. Would open up capabilities on devices too small for screens.

I recently moved over to i3 (actually it's sway on Wayland, but that's beside the point). Before I completed the move, I anticipated that a tiling window manager like i3 would replace most of my use of tmux, at least for my laptop and desktop where I have a regular graphical interface and I'm not on a server somewhere.

I was right. Haven't reached for tmux even once since I made the switch. And this is coming from someone who spends probably over 70% of his workday in the terminal using tmux. Having the various shortcuts to move between screens work also work for moving between firefox, zoom, etc is incredible. I'm never going back.
I'm glad you shared it. I found it interesting and somewhat inspiring. Thank you!
You'd both probably like Microsoft Makecode. It runs in the browser and on lots of cool devices. http://makecode.com
I don't get the point of either argument. Whether he said he took too many drugs or not, you shouldn't kneel on someone's neck, chest, or back for longer than it takes to get restraints in place. If someone's so fucking high that they can't explain what's happening, they need to be restrained and transported to the hospital. If someone's obviously high and combative, they need to be restrained and transported to the hospital. No one deserves to die because they abuse drugs. And even if they did, that's the judicial system's call to make. I hope that the police involved did not intend to kill him. But they behaved in a way that they should have known would lead to his death.
I have been using Entity Framework recently. I've not had any past experience where I have liked an ORM. This one seems alright.

I do wonder if I will fall into the same trap as complexity grows. But the migrations are just amazing so far. For them alone I want to stick with it.
The difference in relative risk is high, but the absolute risk of dying in a car is still pretty low if you're sober, wearing a seatbelt, and not speeding. Oh, and apparently if you're not driving in the U.S. Geez, didn't realize we're such crappy drivers here.

I believe for years they have been trying to improve the experience for use cases that aren't an opinionated, old school, Java publishing pipeline. Both through the API flexibility and documentation that explains more about the concepts of what's going on behind the scenes(how the Java plugin configures a bunch of tasks by default, what they are, and etc).

The "new" publishing system is still a thorn in my side. It doesn't play well with existing Gradle paradigms(like configurations) and seems to force most people into giving up on it when they have some variation of the use case "Publish a dynamic list of files(aka unknown list) produced by task/subproject and not the stock Java tasks." There's a trail of frustration going back nearly a decade; unanswered questions, answers that don't address the use cases, and a general lack of acknowledgement that the "new" system isn't getting the job done for people in a friendly, flexible way.
Can socialism be thought of as this "investment into each other" taken to the extreme? Where we put all our investment into each other, believing the future output of anyone is a net gain?
This is, of course, silly but true, because fax has no endpoint authentication of any kind.
Not at all. Making a profitable business is super hard and you need a lot of luck. I have done it and it is hard work.

Over a decade ago, it was also possible to start a new browser engine from scratch. Now since the web is so complex, it's virtually impossible to make one nowadays.

I don't think you can compare the web of a decade ago to the web of now.
This is one of the most subtley funny things I’ve ever seen on H.N, specifically because the target audience is so small. You have to understand both C++ memory management and what an NFT is.
Is the body different from the mind?

Every experience of ours as a human, is rooted in the mind.

The author seems to confuse involuntary action with conscious thought.

"We" may not perceive the signals that drive the beating of the heart, but it is still driven by the mind.

Hindu yogic practices, especially those of Hatha Yoga [0] make it possible for one to feel even those involuntary processes.

Personally I'm longing for a new browser with focus on safety, security and privacy. Hopefully it will be written in Rust language or any other language with similar capability.
The way too long film gets down to this. Fusion power output is not the same as net power. When considering the energy needed to run it, the ITER fusion reactor produces zero net power. In fusion research, this is considered an achievement because previous designs had negative net outputs. The author's objection, and rightly so, is that the total output is being sold as the net or useful output in order to get continued funding, while the actual project produces no usable power above what it consumes.
Having actually worked at Medicity (later acquired by Aetna) I had the not so great priviledge of integrating Medicity's health record systems with both Google Health and Microsoft Healthvault. Neither gained the adoption rate that was anticipated by anyone. Medicity did a great job working towards more unified systems from all the siloed systems but it's (as others in healthcare have noted) notoriously complex and ever changing.
I sort of agree. It wasn't marketing it was the failure of regulators to enforce the same sort of regulations they used against Microsoft to stop apple et al from becoming monstrous entities in the back of policies that stifle innovation and limit choice.
If you're a frequent flier, and on the right route, most of those times go right down. I've walked into an airport 15 minutes before the flight, boarded the plane and gotten out of the airport 10 minutes after landing
Edward Snowden was originally an unnamed source. It's pretty common.

that's an interesting concept.

I think that might have an unintended (good) consequence - could airports with lots of inefficiencies work on their passenger flow to be competitive?
