I think you need to step back and think about what you hope to achieve by obtaining a master's degree in computer science. There are use cases but there are also many reasons not to get one. What are your reasons
Well, this is interesting. Just as people all around the world realized they don't need to travel all that much.

Though, it doesn't seem all that hard to verify who you're talking to. Perhaps there's a great business opportunity for a "secure, verified" communication app.
I have observed that some female doctors (from any academic field; h.c. or regular) like to put a "Dr." prefix in front of their names, in their social media profiles.
I guess some women do this to signal "I am open to interactions here, even with random people from the internet, but preferably on a professional level. I am an expert in something myself." - in order to receive less toxic content, less rudeness, on social media.

Perhaps he was thinking about doing something like this himself.
Smart!

I recommend you also try joining a Tennis Club. There's lots of humans there of various genders and with various qualities, likely including some of those you desire. Their bodies are above-average healthy and their backgrounds are often upper class. IQ is a little all over the place but that's an easy one to filter out. Prefer a Tennis Club that publishes an annual yearbook with all members' credentials so you can better filter their qualities by merging and processing data from public sources programmatically.
This seems like the first instance of deep fakes fooling politicians on a geopolitical scale. The repercussions of this are huge.

I really wonder how big the impact of this technology is going to be, especially since corona has made online meetings even more prevalent.
In JS, if (!variable) ... coerces the type to boolean, so anything falsy (0, null, undefined, empty string, etc...) will become true. For example if you have a timestamp of 0, it will be counted as false (but is defined and definitely not null)
> [...] but what that person did seems illegal to me.

Reminds me of this quote:

> “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

There are many laws which are unjust, what is right and what is legal does not always align. Maybe it was illegal. But should it really be?

To me what this person did looked about as illegal as someone breaking an entry into a burning house to aid the people inside.
>>All that is signed off and approved by the popultion.

Same with the central banks that inflate the currency. They are created by the government that the population approves of. You're making a selective argument against the principle of financial self-sovereignty that underlies the entire Bitcoin and cryptocurrency movement, that just happens to lead to a conclusion that decentralized finance is bad, whereas a decentralized currency - bitcoin - is good.

>>Then it was an organic growth of scrutiny because it was demanded by the population. Every megasocial system such as US, EU, China...even North Korea organizes itself based on the population desires.

There is nothing organic about massively complex political systems. They are as artificial/non-organic as anything else produced by modern human civilization. They are nascent forms of human organization susceptible to massive corruption and rent-seeking. Putting all that aside, majority approval does not justify violating people's basic liberties/human-rights, like the right to engage with other consenting adults in mutually voluntary economic interactions. That is true whether you are talking about the US, or North Korea.

>>Such attempts will fail because the target demographics is totally onboard with the authority.

What the majority approves of changes when technology changes. When the social costs of enforcing a particular type of law that limits voluntary interaction massively increases, for example as a result of the advent of widely accessible strong encryption, then the majority will become more opposed to enforcing such laws.

>>Sure in the ETH ecosystem

ETH-based assets will gain mass-adoption soon enough. And when they do, your final plausibly pro-crypto objection to DeFi will have disappeared. All you'll be left with is the argument that cryptocurrency, as a whole, is bad for society, by enabling non-compliance with politically enacted forms of centralized gatekeeping.

At that point, it will be even more obvious now that an argument against decentralized finance is an argument against the entire principle that Bitcoin is based on, and was created to advance.
There is loss, around 10%. One way to reduce it is to pre-heat the car while charging. Heat pumps in EVs are efficient/fast, and less annoying than waiting forever for a gas car to defrost.

There is also the additional friction from winter tires, and in summer drag from a bike rack. A bit similar to gas consumption, but does require planning stops on long trips.
Looked up some specs.

* A typical rack is rated for somewhere between 450 and 900 kg (your mileage may vary).

* A disk is about 720g.

* A 4U quanta enclosure is 36 kg empty.

* With 10 enclosures of 60 disks, that's a total of 792 kg inside the rack.

You will want to check what rack you have exactly and weight things up.

The rack itself is another 100 to 200 kg. You will want to double check whether the floor was designed to carry 1 ton per square meter. It might not be.

My personal tip. Definitely do NOT put a row of that in an improvised room in a average office building. You might have a bad surprise with the floor. ;)

Anyway. The project will probably be abandoned after the OP tries to assemble the first enclosure (80kg fully loaded) and realize he's not going to move that.
Current version of GPL is an absolute no go, especially if you need to import an api / sdk style interface into your extensions and tooling - the GPL is viral. You import a GPL library to interface and your stuff is now GPl.

and latest version requires release of encryption keys etc etc - all major studios WANT content protection to work and the GPL is explicit in its attacks on that
Amarok really lost me with the 2.0 redesign. I switched to Clementine instead, which carries on the Amarok 1.x design.

Lately development on Clementine has been lagging a bit, so I'm using a fork called Strawberry.

The Amarok 1.x interface is closely tied with Quod Libet as my favorite audio library/player, but QL is significantly less user-friendly, thanks to its extensive flexibility.
I can imagine this tech all packed up in a standard 40ft shipping container and dropped on premise.

This would be rather simple tech, that can supplement solar and wind on your farm, lodge, campsite or island. Another piece in the puzzle for smaller scale independence.

Not to replace metropolis-scale energy demands, as grandparent implies, but to smooth out fluctuations on hourly, household scale.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted because you raise a valid point: cities often “solve” their homeless problem by shipping their homeless to other cities. After all, a bus ticket is cheaper than providing shelter.

Cities that are extremely homeless friendly find themselves with an influx both organically (some choose to relocate themselves) and from other cities.

This is an issue in Portland and SF, to name just two.

Note: I’m not advocating ignoring or not helping the homeless. It’s just a difficult problem.
Simplest explanation seems to be when there's a bunch of mating-age humans in one place, some of them mate.

You see this with educational institutions, work, sports clubs, and so on.

What I don't see is that people join the institution with that market as an intention. At least I have a lot of friends and none of them have ever said they did anything other than perhaps a dance class in order to meet someone. Longer term commitments like university often end up being where people meet a partner, but don't seem like that was part of the purpose.
Most of the heavily populated places in the bay area are fairly flat, so that's not really a problem. Plus, with ebikes these days, hills just aren't the barrier they used to be.

The problem is mostly just infrastructure. Almost no California cities have more than a piddling amount of safe transportation biking support.
The solution is simple: PGP support in every video conferencing tool.
This could be something more like a planetary gearbox or a differential that can connect 3 systems (e.g. gas engine, electric motor, wheels in a hybrid car). But if requirements are too different 2 generators may be the better option.

The tower would probably need reinforcements for the additional weight, but I have no idea about the magnitude required.
I've been watching some Virtual Japan videos on YouTube lately, and it was really interesting how so many major streets in Japan don't seem to even be built for cars, people just walk in the center of the street and from location to location no problem, there might be some motorbikes but that's about it.

I don't think I've ever been to a city where they decide they don't need cars on their major streets. All of our cities presuppose that enough people will need to drive through it, and everything is much more spaced out because of it.

I'm sure Europe is similar.

Like here's one of Harajuku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VXKHlhJzd0
> Hm, you also need to consider that 5 trucks can have a much higher combined output than the 1 truck 5 times as high.

How so?
In Israel there are no F-150s, but their larger siblings like the F-350 and the Silverado are very popular (admittedly with contractors, you don't see white collar people buying them). Reason is, they are classified as proper trucks for tax calculation, so you get all kind of write offs and don't pay VAT (17%) on them.

The same people used to drive the smaller Japanese pickups (like Toyota Hilux) before, it just stopped making sense buying these when F-350 costs less due to the tax reasons above.

So it's funny like that when among the regular hatchback and compact car mix you see in any European country you encounter more F-350 monsters than you see in the USA (relatively speaking).
I'm guessing that they used the excuse of a bad video connection to make them almost get away with this.

> Do you expect everyone to create an accurate threat model? People have lives. So, some people end up blocking ICMP and internet "works" except .. of course it doesn't.

This is the internet eqivalent of dumping your sewage in the lake because it's too difficult to deal with properly.

People that do this externalise the costs of their choices onto everyone else, and it takes a bunch of specialists to identify what's happening and educate the problematic network operator, and/or clean up the mess.
Maybe this threat will finally make it more widespread and easier to use.
AWS in Dallas was literally in a mall (dunno if it still is)
I find the same thing with non-technical people at work. They're highly intelligent, but when faced with a problem they don't know how to solve they are unable to effectively use google. Invariably they can't supply the keywords that will bridge their problem to a solution.

Also, once they search they'll usually click the top link and if it doesn't work they'll just give up (instead of for example quickly opening the top 3 links in new tabs while you're scanning the results). Sometimes the answer might also be the result of 2-3 different pages each supplying a part of the answer to your context.

If cities don't want slums to exist, they need to provide subsidised housing. Shelter is a basic human need, so either a city builds it or people will build their own.

There is a context where self-weight, wind suction and pressure are not a problem even at large scales, while volume before deployment is severely constrained: space. Origami space stations could become a thing.
Where unattached adults meet, there will be ahem discovery and disclosure. But I think that its a serious mistake to get married without understanding the full financial responsibility and risk. Perhaps the educational system should make the teaching of this reality part of a mandatory curriculum of financial understanding.

Thanks for the clear explanation.

I'd like to add that with the rapid electrification of car- and soon truck and ships- fleets, we are already rolling out that giant battery-pack, as we speak.
It looks like this is a form-based GUI for invoking the Laravel equivalent of “rails scaffold” or “angular generate”.

A very interesting concept. Although I would probably prefer this to be integrated into IDE plugins instead of yet another (likely electron) app.

Most IDE plug-in frameworks have access to the already configured language runtime/compiler/interpreter.
There are numerous encampments near my house.

Options for upgrading the typical tent to shelters, yurts, microhomes would be awesome.

Society should also provide ad hoc sanitation, waste management, misc safety and convenience. These semi permanent encampments should automatically get honeypots, water stations, trash bins, and so forth.

Something, anything. Just to make their lives less terrible, less dangerous.

It‘s not like any one of those politicians knew his Chief of staff. Additionally, he was probably being translated from his native Russian, or speaking mediocre English. It would not have been difficult for any random person to „imitate“ him. The main Qualification would seem to be the ability to not burst out laughing. A deep fake of an actual public figure would be a different matter entirely.
I think this article, and the discussion about it, are outstanding.

I've been a casual Homebrew user for several years. It helps me set up an environment where it's relatively easy to access and work on my projects that involve lightweight software development, as opposed to lightweight ops, which is probably my strength.

Working solo, I don't have the bandwidth to understand the details of everything I touch. I truly appreciate that there are people in the community who like to examine deeper technical issues with package management and also have the communications skills to explain it so people like me can understand.
For some reason I've had this long standing belief that love is just a function of proximity.

In Emacs Lisp it's common to to include real ^L specifically to trigger page breaks from when printing code was more common (and it has page-aware navigation commands accordingly).

An interesting idea. For WebRTC this information could possibly be exchanged in the SDP offer/answer messages. An extra line in the SDP with a signature and some key info.
yep is a founding decision, so they can use free git/github infrastructure to run their entire backend, and someone else pays for it. To do what you describe would require hosting something outside of that, which would cost $.

Reminds me of at least 1 github engineering blogpost where they reference Homebrew repo(s) as pathological examples, repos that cause them pain to operate effectively because they just don't 'look' like almost anything else.

Is what happens when you build your entire architecture around using someone elses free-tier / public service.

I knew a girl at university who was there to find a husband, and she did!

In South Africa there is even a colloquial Afrikaans term for it: BA Man Soek, i.e. Bachelor of Arts in Finding a Husband.

It is of course possible that this is/was a sexist idea, but I’m sure it’s a bit of both. Especially as a conservative woman seeking a housewife lifestyle, it makes sense to make yourself available in an environment where there is a high concentration of available men who will likely be quite successful.

The end state of US malls is going to be when Amazon secretly purchases a large number of them, converts the department stores into distribution centers, opens them en masse, and provides a $1/item discount for orders picked up at the mall.

That will provide the necessary foot traffic to rent out the rest of the mall to small time players that will try to compete with Amazon. Unfortunately, they'll have all their sales tracked by Ring cameras, and eventually have their offerings cloned as Amazon Basics knock offs. On the plus side the food court and restaurants will do fine as there will be plenty of people burning $2 of gas to save $1 on a $10 made in China knickknack.
Easily MITMed for this use case.
Because morality should not be based on what "makes sense" or is an efficient use of things. The reason I used the term "organ harvesting" is the same reason people that talk about this "opt out" thing use the term "donation". But my overall feeling is that this is yet another thing that highlights and brings to the fore that the state pretty much owns us as essentially livestock to harvest things from.

At the very least, the default should be that your estate and/or your family takes ownership of your remains. Otherwise we're heading into territory where the state can say: "Why should you have a grave so your body can rot in there. It's not like we're going around killing you for your biological matter, so it's okay if we just take your body and decompose it into fertilizer to help rejuvenate the farm fields!" or "We've determined that you don't need 10% of the blood that you generate every day, so please make sure to go daily to your local "Blood donation centre" for your "voluntary donation""!

The way people are cheering this "donation" on is frankly very disturbing. Yes, I know it saves lives, but so would abolishing cars to stop car accidents and so would banning all knives and having people use feeding tubes instead!
Absolutely. I tried, but gave up and decided to spent my saturday morning with the familiy instead ;-)

I think a huge problem is how it is easy to mix up assembly that gets "processed" to /machine/ instructions with another kind of assembly that gets "processed" to VM ops. Which then get compiled again (usually JIT) before being executed.

ILAsm is a nice example for that: It's some kind of assembly language, and you could probably go right down to x86 instructions (at least with little change). But you'll never do that. Simply because it is a stack language; and while you can produce e.g. x86 opcodes that "do the right thing", the whole stack traffic will kill performance. Instead, the VM will push the opcode stream through a (I guess JIT?) compiler: Small functions will be inlined, others will get a prologe and epiloge, parameters and return values are arranged according to the ABI's calling conventions. And then there will be all the usual register allocation stuff. [edit] And a lot of other magic. [/edit]
Still, the original input is pretty much an assembly language.
Wind turbines use the tower to take parts to the top for maintenance. Regardless, you'd need to dramatically increase the wall thickness of the tower along with the foundation for the additional load, to the point it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Bad math, let's say we can use a lead weight 2 meters in diameter, 3 meters tall (107,000 kg) with 120 meters of drop available.

All of that gets us 35 kWh, or 0.035 megawatt hours of energy. Compared to a 2 MW turbine, it's a negligably small amount of stored energy, even if we scaled every dimension up by a factor of 2 (getting us to 0.28 MWh).

Possibly depends on the country and region. But I worked very closely with the homeless population in Seattle from 2001-2010 and the key issues prevalent in almost every case was chronic alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental illness.

I left Seattle in 2010 and went back a couple years ago to visit and it looked like the homeless population had doubled in the time since. Seattle has an enormous problem that they have no idea how to solve.
Yeah, that's true, I would prefer tracking things separately, which is another reason I don't particularly like the proposed idea.
