I didn’t know audacity was adding tracking. The git repo says it’s opt in, but sends the data to google and yandex. They say you can avoid it by compiling from source with certain flags, which is a bit of a nuisance.

Why not set up their own telemetry server so people wouldn’t have to worry so much? If I recommend audacity to somebody, I won’t want to worry that the names of every file they edit will get sent to data companies during error reports because they clicked yes during install instead of reading the wall of text that usually says “say yes or the installer will abort”

“The winning odds of 1/3 on the first choice can’t go up to 1/2 just because the host opens a losing door,”

Wow. I've never seen it phrased so simply. _of course_ it doesn't change–if you picked the door with a goat, the host has no choice but to open the door he does. If you pick the door with the prize, whatever door he picks simply doesn't matter. There's no new information to learn about your own pick from that.
I was trying to think this through and realized it would be faster and more accurate to just write up a little script. Pretty sure this is accurate:

Thinking about this was a lot easier once I could look at the code. It seems like what's happening is that when changing doors, you are actually changing to two doors rather than one, giving you 2/3 odds?

Benevolence – The Lack Of
Yeah, if all your code and libraries are Kotlin then there's less risk of a collection being mutated under you (though even then, Kotlin gives you no way to write a method that only accepts an immutable collection - you can write a method that accepts a view-only interface, but it will always be possible to pass a mutable collection and mutate it in parallel while that method is running). But of course in that scenario there's also zero benefit from having compatibility with the Java collections.
>You're communicating with me as though I know what you're talking about and disagree with you.

You came into this discussion with a very strong opinion. It's only natural for other commentators to assume you arrived at that conclusion through your own experiences and research. If your claims of ignorance is genuine, on what grounds are you calling me "toxic" and "misrepresenting" earlier? Why are you making indictments instead of asking questions?

>So it sounds as though Epic offered exclusive agreements to studios that reneged on other commitments to comply with Epic? Why isn't the anger at those studios? How is Epic at fault for other studios' behavior?

The other parties have already received their share of backlash but Epic deserves to be singled out as the instigator.

It's one thing to pay indie developers a fat sum to bring their titles as a exclusive - nobody should be too upset about that. However, paying an industry heavyweight like Ubisoft to keep Anno 1800 off Steam is different: The latter has nothing to gain from not publishing their games on Steam, if anything they will miss out on some potential purchases put off by the behavior plus the bad publicity.

In other words, this deal would not have happened without Epic reimbursing Ubisoft for the potential losses and fallout, and this kind of malicious anti-competitive is what bothers me.
Interesting, that sounds like the philosophy of (modern) ToME, which takes some of those ideas to extremes, to its benefit I find! For example, potions are removed in favor of Inscriptions, that are equipped to limited slots and have cooldown-limited usage, but otherwise stick around forever.

I find ToME has much more unique classes too, doing a lot of interesting things, even if luring monsters into a 1-tile wide corridor is still the safest way most of the time...

It’s not obvious if you think revealing the car ends the game (and you lose).

That there is called profit taking from the whales due to selling on the news.

The quote isn't true. This isn't in fact Google's "preferred 2FA method". If I need another factor (for example if I were to log into my Google account from some random device) I can just use any of my Security Keys or other means to do U2F/WebAuthn, which is - in fact - Google's preferred 2FA method.

Also, as the article already says, as does Google's announcement, this won't do anything at all if you don't have any suitable additional factors.

I agree with you that "the universe resetting" is a dumb way to visualize or explain the problem. But if Mr. Hall opens the first door randomly (essential that it was a random choice), and it revealed a goat, then no, switching does not provide an advantage. You do not go from 33 to 67%. Instead, you are left with 2 options, both of which originally had a probability of 33% of containing a car, and which, now that the third option has been eliminated, are both currently 50%.
It's absolutely not a nitpick, but does that example still apply? I was under the impression that the 'clear and present' danger had been extremely narrowed to 'absolutely clear (as in an actual plan) and present (with explicit time)'. My recollection might not be right, but I could have sworn I remember the very justice that wrote the fire in the theater example rolling it back bit by bit over the course of the next several cases.
> techno (yes, created by African-Americans in Detroit)

if you define "techno" in a very particular way, that's true.

if you define "techno" in the broader sense in which it is typically used, it was created by Germans in Dusseldorf, whose music is acknowledged by the Detroit scene makers as pivotal in their own evolution.

You should try fine dining, if you like food and eating. It's a really fun and interesting way to spend an evening. Kind of surreal, especially the first time around.

You don't have to spend $250, although you probably have to spend $125 (based on my experiences in Europe).

I don't think of it as "a meal", at all, eating a meal usually doesn't take me three hours. It's more in the category of an event like a concert or the opera or a theme park visit.

The problem in English is more that it has lots of different names, and a lot of people think some of them refers to different mushrooms (e.g. champignon/crimini/portobello/white/brown/chestnut/button mushroom).

Anything you find sold in Western European stores without a 'proper' name, tends to be Agaricus Bisporus, just at different stages of growth.
And half the ones you find with proper names usually are too.

It annoys me to no end as it's about the most boring, bland, tasteless mushroom around.
> what's basically the sum total of human scientific knowledge

That’s an exaggeration. First, a lot of scientific reference books are not a Sci-Hub. Second, decades of published materials have not been digitized and are not available there. Third, very recent work (2020-2021) are often missing as well. And finally, there is a biais towards English and articles in other languages (for instance Korean, Chinese) are often not present despite being indexed or available on other networks.

Sci-hub is awesome and I use it almost daily but it’s not perfect yet and it’s not near "total sum of scientific knowledge" yet either.
I'd argue it's reasonable for core concepts to be taught online, but things like etiquette, social interaction, etc. slbe taught in person. For instance this allows kids sitting next to each other to learn different levels of math according to their ability, and then go tag with their buddies.
I lost a gmail account like that too. The telephone number is gone and I have access to the backup email address but the email address isn't enough, and it's gone.
Google has:

* Prompts. (Show a notification on a device)

* Phone Txt or voice

* Backup codes

* Authenticator App (ie TOTP)

* Security Key: Yubikey and the like. (You can use some Android phones as a Bluetooth security key)

I'd say google has more options than anyone else right now.

I sometimes wonder why apple/google haven't made a mode for ios/android that puts them into a school-environment specific calculator mode.

Not the usual calculator app. An actual mode where the device is just a calculator. No distractions. Locked in that mode for a duration or needing a code. Kind of like family locking but not that. Wifi etc is off. Maybe even a setting to ensure the phone is disabled. Another setting to present a blank slate so no notes. No ability to swap to different apps. No notifications. Maybe even have a configuration code that is easy to type in and verify so exam operators can easily confirm.

Perfect for the ipod touch. It could easily beat any of the scientific calculators out there, eg battery life.

Bonus points if it logs all activity for exam purposes.
11 since 1964, but only only two of those since 1967 - scratch that is now THREE since China just did it.

In other words was hardly normal for the historical space powers for the last 50+ years.

But I'm not even sure what you are arguing anymore.

First you say:

> What supports your belief that China are pushing this to become normal, as opposed to not being already the norm? A closer look at some of the large objects which has re-entered as well as a few cases of incidents and their origins, suggests the USA together with USSR then Russia normalised this practice decades ago.

Then:

> This list is both incomplete and doesn't take into account future known events, such as the one in OP article...

Everyone stopped doing uncontrolled reentries ages ago, and now China has started doing it, which is the whole reason for the OP. But you seem to want to redirect criticism away from China and back onto the USA and USSR/Russia.
A better word than "dismal" might be "stagnant".

Assuming you think we are better off today than 1000 years ago, it seems that calibrating to perfect conservatism is not the right approach. At the same time, that's not a blank check to unleash whatever fasionable idea on hundreds of millions of people, as that has gone horribly wrong as well.

Materialism does not have an imperfect explanation of consciousness - it has zero explanation of consciousness. Materialism does have a non-zero explanation of things other than consciousness, but there is no good reason to assume that this should mean its success at explaining some other things means that it has any possibility of ever explaining consciousness.

> Equality means giving kids who are born in a ghetto the same education opportunities and investment opportunities as someone who is born in a rich white neighborhood. It means engineering our society so that success isn't a lottery based on the income level of your school.

That won't work. We know from science that the IQ gap appears before school age so it's not caused by school. Also, people have tried special high quality schools for poor blacks and it doesn't solve the problem. The IQ gap also persists despite black kids being adopted into wealthy white families, so it's not an investment or income gap.

You can't find effective solutions to problems if you willfully ignore the scientific evidence for the causes of those problems. So far, the only politically correct scientifically based reason I've seen has been that it's mostly due to the behavior of black mothers. There seems to be some unknown thing they do to their preschool children which cripples them for life. If that's really the problem, then that's where the solution needs to be focused, not on whatever fits your personal political ideology.

You say there's zero scientific evidence for it being genetic, but you conspicuously fail to even claim that there's any scientific evidence for it not being genetic. I've looked for it, and asked people like yourself who I would expect to be motivated to find it, and it doesn't seem to exist. If there's no evidence either way, then you're not being intellectually honest by rejecting one hypothesis on ideological grounds.

People come up with the incorrect result because with 2 doors remaining, it would initially appear that they both have equal chance of containing the car. Because it is unclear HOW we arrived at the final two doors. If we arrived there randomly, the probability is in fact 50-50. If there was some manipulation - i.e. if the host knows where the car is AND deliberately opens doors that do NOT contain the car - then the probability is not 50-50, and switching away from the initially-chosen door is advantageous.
Brown, chestnut, crimini, portobello and half a dozen other names are also Agaricus Bisporus.

"Great philosophy" is an oxymoron. Philosophy has been and always will be nothing but mental masturbation. 98% of philosophical arguments are vapid debates about mere definitions of words. The entire discipline is completely unwilling to ever reject an idea, no matter how insane or nonsensical. Every philosophical question is answered with "well, Plato said this, and Hume said that, and Kant said this, and Descartes said this, and ...". If a philosopher ever accidentally makes a falsifiable claim, a testable prediction, or backs up his arguments with real evidence, he suddenly becomes a "philosopher and scientist". It's as if the term "philosophy" exists solely to describe thinking which is utterly useless.
This post would be a lot more persuasive if you:

1. Suggested a way that a study like this could feasibly be executed as a RCT.

2. Directly addressed parts of the study that you thought were insufficiently modeled.

I think the reality is that it’s very difficult to do both of these things, but it doesn’t mean studies like this shouldn’t be done because they can yield otherwise unobtainable information. Like all studies, they need to be fully evaluated individually on their own merits.
Show HN: Shell Framework for CGI
I never used to use 2FA because it was annoying to have a single point of failure that locked me out of all my accounts.

Ever since I realized that the 1Password desktop/mobile app can save and sync your 2FA code generators onto all of your devices, as well as automatically fill them, I have been a happy 1Password user with possibly hundreds of active 2FA setups.

Even if I lose all of my devices, there is at least a clear way forward with my 1Password recovery kit. I don't need to save millions of emergency recovery codes. Still, the biggest point of convenience for me is being able to access the same 2FA codes from my laptop, phone or tablet despite only entering them once on desktop.

I feel like I'm advertising for 1Password right now, but honestly this is perhaps the most exciting thing that has happened in over a decade for my personal cyber security situation. I have been able to completely decouple my phone number from my 2FA in most instances.
I guess I'd have to disagree that anyone who's position on chattel slavery is 'anti' is wrong about chattel slavery. It's honestly kind of a nitpick, but if I didn't read the essay I wouldn't have thought that by saying he was wrong about it you meant he was against it, but in the wrong way.

Of course, this could all be one of those weird linguistic quirks. There really isn't any way I could think of to provide evidence I'm even right in this.

Interesting point. If deciding whether to advocate for change or not, and you don't see much evidence that change actually happens (and/or works), that would certianly bias someone toward conservatism.
The host can never choose the door with the car, because then the game is over. Ergo the host has to choose the door with goat, every time.
> Let's not pretend that one greedy billionaire is the good one here.

Out of curiosity, are you responding to me or digesting my point? I’m not pretending anything.
At first I agreed with you, but then I thought about the variation with 100 doors (this is what originally helped me grasp the correct answer): you choose a door out of 100 (with very slim chance of choosing the correct one), the host opens 98 of the remaining 99 doors and there are goats behind all of them. Now it's obvious that the car is in the remaining door.

If the host is opening random doors, then:
* If you chose a door with a goat, in 98/99 cases we would start the game over because the host opened the door with the car.
* If you chose the door with the car, the game cannot start over because the host can only open doors with goats.

This means that when you choose a goat, the randomness gives you another chance to choose the correct door.
This patch got me curious how the kernel is even tested. I have yet to see a single kernel commit that included any sort of tests.

probably not the most efficient way to learn pieces, but sometimes i like to just read through one to two pages a couple times, every day. after about a week that section is mostly memorized, depending on the density of the music. then i can sit with it and let the fingerings i like naturally evolve. im a guitarist, so i think fingerings are a little more complicated and contextual sometimes. the constraints of the left hand, and the multiple positions to play a single note really up the possibilities. all the things mentioned in the article are good and in my experience mostly correct, except the fingerings, but that probably varies by person. i have two additional pieces of advice for fast passages, if you keep messing them up:

- make sure you can subdivide the bar in a couple different rhythms. often ill realize there is some kind of rhythmic discomfort i havent fully smoothed out. for starters, make sure you can tap your foot on the quarters. if you feel any hesitation or discomfort, then there's your problem.

- refinger something. its sometimes hard to know if a fingering is going to work at fast tempos, so just try a different one if the current one you are using isnt gelling. for a phrase maybe a bar long, id give it 3 days and if it isnt improving, id start to think about reworking it.
