I agree and that's where I think we should be. I don't agree with your interpretation that it's only evidence of our inability to collect evidence I agree with your ambiguity. I have no idea what this is about I have no personal experiences of any of this but I don't doubt the people who say they have. What I doubt is the so called program insider whistler blower testimony. maybe that's ungenerous of me but I just suspect that it's probably easier to run a disinformation campaign with a small number of vocal so-called insiders actually just disinfo agents than it is, to get all of these people making up stories.

Tho as other people have said maybe they're just copying other people. Which I think is a good point but I'm reluctant to believe that. I genuinely trust the people who come forward and say this crazy shit happened. Because there's so many of them and it's gone on for such a long time. Also, i see there's no motivation to fabricate, not because there's no money and no fame, not because people are uninterested in money and fame, it's just because I don't think that so many people are so morally corrupt that they would just invent this stuff as a way to get money and fame for themselves. I guess I just have a little more faith in people perhaps a little too much faith than to think that.
Anyone remember the Dominos Pizza "deliver in 30 minutes or it's free" guarantee of many years ago? A couple of accidents by delivery drivers and it was a "Gentlemen: Start Your Lawyers" situation. This seems eerily the same kind of thing.
I am not an Oxbridge or ENS graduate but I felt compelled to point out both had a competitive entry exam. I am unsure Oxbridge still does. The ecole normale system presupposes a national baccalaureate with ranking. The French took this seriously for decades. It was wafer thin egalitarianism because poor smart kids had a path in.

I have little doubt nepotism also plays its part, but the fundamental underpinning is ranked - elitism that was tested.

I've worked with many Oxbridge graduates and met, presented to ENS students and they were super smart.
Biotech startup reports early cancer detection breakthrough
You a starting to get my point.
Microsoft provide a fantastic program for creating Windows boot disks that "just works" (Media Creation Tool), and have done so for years.

It doesn't support Linux images, though, for reasons that should be obvious.
My IPA WTF moment was when I learned that "t͡ʃ Voiceless palato-alveolar affricate" and "t͡ɕ Voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate" are two different sounds. The first is English ch (as in church), and the second is Korean ㅊ (or so they say), but even being a native Korean speaker, I just can't tell the difference.

(They do sound somewhat different but that's because English ch is always pronounced with rounded lips.)

Also, seriously, couldn't they think of a better name than "palato-alveolar" vs "alveolo-palatal"?
Meta: I'm really happy that there is a non-english article on the front page of HN. Can we make this happen wore often?
There's that time he tried making some smug Twitter dunk about how anyone concerned about this is a "snowflake, believing online propaganda"[1], claiming that "the Internet grew up wonderfully free from govt regulation" as if he isn't old enough to have personally seen it grow up on publicly regulated phone lines.

There's also the time he suggested that setting basic standards for ISPs amounted to "Obamacare for the Internet"[2], a patently ridiculous statement clearly designed to pander to a base that thinks any government is too much government. (Crenshaw has made similar comments, claiming that "They want to do it by classifying the Internet under a law from 1934"[3] - referring to the Communications Act, literally the one that established the FCC and gave them the power to regulate the aforementioned phone lines. It was also superseded by the Telecommunications Act, passed in 1996, but who's counting?)

There's also that whole thing where he's spent the last several months pretending that he didn't spread lies about the 2020 election that led directly to a terrorist attack, but now I'm getting off topic.

Except not entirely, because there's also the time three days later that he called Donald Trump's Twitter ban "Big Tech's PURGE, censorship & abuse of power"[4] as if it weren't already well-documented that the only reason it didn't happen sooner - given his numerous violations of their ToS up to and including calls to violence - was his status as a head of state.[5][6] (I would link to examples of some of those violations, but... you know...) Which, specifically, also flies in the face of the same laissez-faire capitalism bit that he would throw around over topics like Net Neutrality - since, if he really believed that, a more logically consistent position would be that Twitter is a private company and is allowed to make its own policies.

In a broader sense, the GOP spent the entire Reagan administration maligning the Office of Technology Assessment, a Congressional office whose literal job was to educate lawmakers so that they have more knowledge about these topics than Ted Cruz displays in public, before eventually defunding it in the mid-90s - an act which directly contributed to a Congress which has issues like this, or like "Senator, we run ads,"[7] or like that time AOC apparently had to explain to colleagues what Twitch even is while they were attempting to legislate about it.[8]

"All possible services are good for society and the only valid criteria use as to whether they are offered is whether they make someone (probably Facebook or Google) money"
That’s a pretty compelling argument of course.
Wow, that item link points to a literally blank page. The site template is there but there isn't even a title header.

Sadly even the web archive's copy of the page has the empty version :(
I get great mileage out of Etcher but I need Rufus to make a USB boot to Windows install.
One of the other capstone projects my year was a large local company (600+ employees) that asked the students to design a system for keeping track of the differences between contracts for different employees. Not only was this a non-issue for them, they actively embraced it.
You shouldn't need it on linux because you can just use dd
What a mess. I'm reminded of the quote: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

It's incredibly dystopian how people are made to satisfy this buggy app, while meeting the conflicting quotas, all with their livelihood on the line. /r/AmazonDSPDrivers is eye-opening.
I doubt that most people keep the backup codes.
I feel like I didn't get anything out that as far as the title goes.

I just got a lot of "be loyal to each other before being loyal to Kelsus" and "Kelsus" and that's kinda empty.

Being "loyal" to your friends can be just as much a recipe for bad choices as good as far as I read it...
I am an avid meat-lover but it does play on my conscience that I am in fact eating a former sentient being and potentially contributing to environmental devastation.

I would appreciate answers to the following two, albeit simplistic questions that always plaque me when I consider stopping eating meat products:

1) Is it really unethical to eat animals when the natural trajectory of most animals lives was likely to be eaten by other animals or die some horrendous death in their natural environment? Isn't it better for an animal to live its best life on a free range farm being grass fed, then get quickly and humanely slaughtered?

2)If I made a personal decision to stop eating meat, would there be any significant impact at all on the overall environment realistically? For example, I recently watched the documentary Seaspiracy which showed the negative effects of commercial fishing. However, the reality is that me (not) eating a bowl of sashimi once a week makes no difference in the context of, say, countries like Japan slaughtering millions of fish daily (regardless of any change in behavior on my part or my small circle of influence)?
True, it warns you when compiling with -Wall. I still think it's helpful.
The local burger joint closest to my house is 100% vegan and uses Beyond patties. It’s also, in my opinion, the best burger in town.

I’m a carnivore and would definitely notice the difference in a Pepsi challenge of the patties themselves, but the overall taste and presentation make this place pull ahead of all the meat-based alternatives.

I feel like we’ve crossed a threshold. This was literal sci-fi just a couple of years ago.
Truly, how would we survive if wine and almonds were a bit more expensive. An unlivable horror.
It’s weird that it’s 2021 and when I have to go do a bare metal OS install I still make sure I have a DVD burner/drive because I can’t 100% rely on installing from USB.
Yes. And if the promotion possibilities are limited, every competitor you knock out, increases the chance for you to be promoted. On the c-level it's more about budgets, reorgs and getting ownership over more topics (power) - every competitor you make look bad will not get more budget, will not get new responsibilites, will not get the new department.

Many people at the top of large organizations got there by knocking out many others, the most political are able to rise to the top over time.

Luckily I came into c-level positions by startup growth, byouts and acquisitions, not by going through the ranks.
No! Lions eat to survive and do not have choices due to evolution. Humans on the other hand can choose how to source their nutrients.

I don’t believe that animals eating animals in an abstract sense is wrong. The problem for me is necessity and scale. We don’t need animal protein to survive and the scale of the death and environmental harm is too much to ignore.
Nice to watch!
Twitter seems to be ignoring the development of its website entirely. This is not the first feature that’s been exclusive to just the mobile apps:

- Fleets, launched months ago, is still app-only

- Spaces, the Clubhouse clone, is also app-only.

- Now Tipping.

- Even the uncropped images that launched yesterday (for vertical images) is app-only.
The early UEFI days were just a headache for everyone involved, really.
Gorbachev is directly responsible for collapse of USSR, — he ruled it when it collapsed. So he is responsible for both of the disasters.

Shouldn't you be a little skeptical, when he tries to blame one of his disasters for another?
IANAL but from a Trademark perspective, it might only matter that they are both software products. When we registered a trademark for our software in the EU, the application form only asked our industry (software development and consultancy).
That's interesting. Can you give me your job? I mean, there are millions of people all around the world who are living in poverty and you are occupying a job that they could have had. There are many people who commit suicide because they no longer have any economic opportunities.

I like how modern people can pretend they don't live in the real world because it is hidden behind abstract complexity. Life is a competition with every living thing. You can pretend that it isn't while you order your uber eats and massively overpriced food, but you are only doing so due to some kind of psychological need.

The further you get into the city, the further you get into the lives of rich people, the more you see this "please think of the animals" attitude, because you become so removed from reality that you think the world is completely different to what it actually is. The irony is that you are in the most privileged place, taking the money that other people could have used, and using it to buy overpriced burgers.
I have been one of the toxic persons in a workplace. I was young and immature and an ungrateful arrogant prick. Not saying I'm totally reformed now (I still have my moments!). But every so often I see a little former-me running around. After a certain point I stop them and ask them to please calm the fuck down, because they are acting fucking nuts. That can sometimes result in a 180-degree behavior change (especially after a manager has already talked to them) because they usually don't want to get fired. I can't "fix" them, but I can give them the benefit of the doubt that they may want to be better, and may just need a nudge now and then to re-adjust.
Firstly, thank you for preserving some of the natural ecosystem on your farm. That is a tricky choice to make but from what I see driving about you are in a minority.

You take a drive from Melbourne to Sydney and you get to see the effect of livestock farming, it's been completely denuded of natural vegetation everywhere where it's flat enough to smash down.

The destruction is right there in front of your eyes. Knocking down scrub for cattle farming wipes out the natural environment, there are some species where it does good for them or kangaroos and birds that like open grasslands but for everything else it's really bad.

Drive from Melbourne to Adelaide you get the same thing.

Australia knocked down more open forest in the last four years than they did in the Amazon - 90% for beef farming.

You can grow crops on a much smaller area, without even mentioning organic crop growing where you don't use chemicals to wipe everything out.
I tried this once but was annoyed at it being an Electron app, and sure enough it has analytics that spy on your usage by default including "information about the type of SD cards and USB drives": https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/more/collected-data/#balena...
If you have some please send me some links I would love to get more answers and understanding about this.
"Systemic racism" is a conspiracy theory. It is a very convenient term because it is not disprovable easily yet allow to make a whole group of people responsible to all the problems of another one.
Rufus is a light and effective tool when Windows user want to create USB bootable.
In the past, I faced some issues about disk partition. The Windows Media Creation Tool usually created MBR partition but my disk was on GPT partition. Rufus did well on creating USB bootable with detail log. No need to type complicated command. No need to copy and edit files. Just select, select and press Start.
Well... look up things like “cow eating chicken” or “deer eating bird” on YouTube. Not saying it’s common, but “never” is perhaps too strong a word. And of course I really meant it in a larger sense, not the direct ruminant/person relationship.
> It nullifies the extra security of a hardware key, turning all of your phones and tablets into weaker second factors, whether you want it or not

Don't you have a second authentication factor to login on your phone? Fingerprint, pin, faceId.

I don't see how this is worse than a yubikey.
What would be a better career choice?
After graduation, I started working for a company and it's been 2 years. what would be right choice either to shift to a new company or pursue masters in countries.
Sorry to be picky but…
"less greenhouse emissions" -> "fewer greenhouse emissions"
You're stopping way ahead. Things are done for reasons. Why did Africans not invent electricty?

Turkic peoples invented basic steam engines, so did the Greeks, why didn't they use them for anything?

Ultimately the reasons for this are going to come back to material reality, ie, your surroundings.
You might have been better off not having dwelt on what was in their deepest thoughts, as long as what was in their deepest thoughts did not result in you getting arrested for no reason, getting killed by the very people who you thought existed to protect you for no reason, your kids not getting accepted in the schools, or after school programs they deserved for no reason, etc.

It’s amazing to me that brown people, like myself, who do really well in this country relative to most minorities, live to pretend as if they should just be the model minority without realizing that the only reason they can is because of all the blood sweat and tears spilt by the minority, often black, activists before them.

Of course, the ultimate irony, is that there is no evidence that victim hood is practiced by actual victims. If you consider the past 4 years, for example, it was spent with the President of the United States complaining on a nearly daily basis about everything. His entire base is built on little more than a laundry list of grievances. Their entire political movement at the moment can be reduced to complaining about “cancel culture” which is little more than complaining that white people cannot get well paid speaki by spots to spout racist bullshit.

If victim culture exists on a racial basis in the US, it exists almost entirely within the majority community, which shows that there’s absolutely no evidence that discussing real victimization causes a sense of victim hood amongst victims.

In fact, there’s good reason to believe that understanding that the racism they face might be systemic both allows the victims of the racism to not feel like victims anymore, but instead look for ways to succeed despite it, and allows them to not look negatively upon individuals anymore, because they learn that the racism is systemic and endemic, and as a result, is something that is exhibited by them as well.
Ironic that you write that a few days after Montana announced that it is cancelling unemployment benefit to force people into jobs.

Few people have the luxury of SV-style job agility, so having a basic survival guide is useful. It might just keep them sane until they can make a change for the better.
nonono, arrogant language lawyer types in robes pretending that natural language is more precise than formal logic codes is the big problem.
Yeah it's funny that we don't even have an agreement as to what the logical reasonable stance on this topic is. I think that's maybe an indication of how far out this topic is in terms of how far away it is from our human faculty of logic and understanding to be able to make sense of it. That alone I think is reason enough to just basically distrust a lot of things about this and keep an open mind.
This has been my go to for years now. It’s especially useful whenever a friend or family member hits me up with a “computer question” that inevitably leads to “let’s just reinstall whatever you had before” and I just need something quick that works.
That's how I noticed the issue this week. The no value was green, which was a bit suspicious.
Please can we not? And if we do, can can we make sure the title is at least in the same language as the article?
You won’t always have that option. In ‘02 I ended up taking a job as I had been out of work for 9 mos, it paid 1/2 of what I was earning previously, and that was just the start.

But, I had no other options at the time. It took 2 years to gtfo, and the next place was minimally better (I got ptsd from pager noises there).

So, yeah, learning to survive a toxic work place is a good thing.

I have some health problems now that I blame on the stress.
It's also used for training singers. For instance, in grad school, I taught Singers' Diction in various languages. Being able to transcribe any given text into IPA, and then of course pronounce it accurately, is a core skill for classical singers. The usual languages covered are English, German, Italian, and French, those being the most important for classical music. Interestingly, the language that a lot of native English speakers have the most trouble with is...English! You'd be surprised.
Yes. I love it.
Except they have no evidence for it, so I’m not sure why we should be bothered what they might “think”.

There’s also little a priori reason to believe that might be true.

> That, said, I've tried going vegetarian multiple times before and honestly I felt awful - I'm naturally very slim and not particularly energetic to begin with, and when I was on a vegetarian diet I felt totally lethargic.

The same thing happened to me when I first tried going vegan. It wasn’t until I went through a major effort at planning my meals — to the point of making an outright diet plan for myself — that I was able to make veganism work for me.

From your description, it sounds like you were eating too little calories.
Valid. Different messaging for different markets perhaps!
Confirmation bias. For this to end up on a site of someone who refers to themselves as any type of scientist is frankly embarrassing. Not a good look for a company blog
> Tip Jar is an easy way to support the incredible voices that make up the conversation on Twitter. This is a first step in our work to create new ways for people to receive and show support on Twitter – with money.

I hope this will create an incentive for people to be less partisan and divisive and look for donators outside of their algorithmic bubble.
Thanks to prove my point, literally.

Oh man, the worst are those that pretend to be benevolent but end up firing you after a vacation. The one who writes memory-bloated code, who keeps state around, that loves to cross types has the gaul to do a single performance review after 8 months to criticize your code quality and fire you. (Recent experience)

Or how about the one guy that shouts at people when they ask ANY question on why things work that way, responding with things like "NO!! It's not how we do it" and berating newer employees with their lack of legacy knowledge.

I've seen a grown man, extremely well educated, data scientist make a fellow data scientist cry. I've. Seen. Things.

I also made a conscience decision to focus on people, co-workers, and foster those relationships where I can. Sometimes I have to leave those behind when drastic life changes happen, but ultimately I'll always be there should they need me. Kudos to the OP for including the Sinek clip, love that guy.
You're missing the point. The current narrative of systemic racism and the victimhood culture it creates isnt helping, it's exacerbating the issues and reinforcing itself.

By conditioning people into believing that an outside force is the primary, if not only factor impacting their lack of success, you demotivate them from trying to adjust other factors that could improve their situation. The issue isn't that we address racism, it's that racism has become the end-all rationalisation for any deficiency at the individual level.
Why? Grain is its own thing, it doesn't need to stand anywhere between Rust, Haskell, or OCaml.
> Donald Trump's election in 2016 has been dissected and explained hundred different ways. But it is undeniable that his victory (despite the fact that he lost the popular vote by approximately three million) is attributable in part to popular resentment against political and business elites

It's very deniable. This simply cannot be the explanation.

Trump is an elite. He inherited vast amounts of money and vastly underperformed with them. He went to an Ivy, Wharton at UPenn. Sure, he sounds like an idiot, but it's undeniable that he is part of the political, educational, and business elite. The idea that this is a movement against elites when it is literally spearheaded by an elite is just absurd.
Some people have tunnel vision.
