And the Truth and Reconciliation Commission final report is public. It's right there to read.

Volume 4 is "Missing Children and Unmarked Burials". http://www.trc.ca/about-us/trc-findings.html

Pressure is building right now to fund these projects and make a proper accounting of the unmarked and uncounted dead. This is just one of dozens of crime scenes. Consider telling your MP you support this effort.
If we're going to be mixing metaphors here: should we expect firefighters to do post-blaze media panels where they answer questions like "how do you feel about not being able to save everyone in today's fire?" Those tears would be lucrative, and viewers can assuage their ghoulish interest with the knowledge that a portion of the ad revenue benefits the fallen firefighter's fund. –__–

Also job responsibilities aren't eternally immutable. Tennis existed long before televised press conferences, and may well outlive it too. Naomi's advocating for better working conditions.

Lastly, only having one source of jobs stretches the concept of "freely" entering into an employment contract. And anyway, we have higher responsibilities than the contracts we sign.

In this case, we have evidence of a whole lot of abortion of female fetuses.. and less, but still a notable amount, of infanticide: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1985/01/08/c...

Note that there was a big shift in the gender ratio before sex determination by ultrasound was widely available in rural China.
Yup that’s basically how it works. Usually when PFS is involved the keys are session based as opposed to using the same keypair for every session. This mitigates passive monitoring and future private key compromise/legal pressure permitting historic decryption of sniffed TLS sessions.
This is such a weird comment.. nothing about the OC suggests they were talking about front end dev; not to mention that writing for hours before actually running it is a pretty terrible way to code. Typescript is also not a workaround for volume binding, which can accommodate any stack.
Also if you live near to high quality, it is easier to keep quality high. I worked in one place with a lot of C servers. Any time they segfaulted, the developer got an email with the back trace and a link to the core. Counts were kept and managers made sure people knew to fix them. For my code, it was always easy to fix each segfault. They were rare and usually the stack trace showed all that was needed.

I also worked in a place that was far from quality and they had totally given up on memory leaks and most segfaults. If the segfault happened deterministically enough, it might be fixed. infinite loops would be fixed. But sporadic segfaults were just ignored. It was too hard to get close enough to quality to make it worth fixing.
This is not at all what a softcore is to me.
This simply means that it is not a cpu which takes physical space on the FPGA whether you use it or not, it would only takes some celle of the logical array if inferred.

But it is rather redundant to say vhdl and softcore, plus there are no riscv hardcore yet on FPGA.
In uBlock Origin I've seen a few domains with the word `cookie` in them and after investigating them, they are serving Javascript that by virtue of being a third party, are scooping up personal data, not protecting it. Of course I blocked these in uBlock manually, but it breaks the site since the banner overlaps the content and I can't read my article, so I have to manually remove the offending HTML element using uBlock's element picker. Such a ridiculous farce!
None of the information has anything to do with a specific location, every single individual house has specific internet options.

You can't say, oh all of rural Japan gets 10mbps. Cause every different part has different options.

You need to go look at a real estate website that has internet availability information.

Japan is very difficult to immigrate into, and I'm not sure what foreign ownership of property is like - I'm guessing unfriendly. Someone will likely comment in reply if they know better.

These are also very barely within the definition of a house by Western standards. Houses in Japan, especially these ones are less permanent affairs. Poor construction quality, no central heating, etc.

This is not a good opportunity for people outside of Japan.

I personally believe VR and mainly AR are the next and natural step in personal computing.

It's somewhat bizarre to me to see you criticzing the idea that people should be held responsible for what they put in their mouths, chew, and swallow. You write like it's such an awful idea that people could choose to eat healthier foods or exercise more.

It is well established that the ARPU from richer demographics (income levels, countries etc) is much higher than that from poorer ones. The redistributive effect is real, though perhaps there may be other ways (e.g. reparations) that have less harmful side effects.
The Iran-Contra affair is irrelevant to the topic at hand

If I made a list of 100 questions regarding Sciento-vibro-homeopathology, an exam so to speak, I am reasonably sure that this silent majority who think it's nonsense I just made up on the spot, won't even be able to answer 5% of the questions.

Because they don't know Sciento-resonant-homepathics. At all.
IMO even with all those incentives I just don't see the typical age at first child getting to 16-24 in any Western country even with strong incentives.

Not just because of costs, but the harder to modify cultural reasons like people valuing independence, "casual dating"/FWB more common instead of dating with intent to marry, less social pressure/shaming from parents ("why don't you have a husband/wife/kids yet?!"), freedom to "find yourself/travel" or "get sexually experienced/have a ho phase before settling" for years after college, etc.

Most people don't want to go from college to marriage and kids right away these days, and a few years of this type of casual dating/exploration after college eats up a lot of prime reproductive years like you said. But these cultural factors are very hard to change especially with the absence of religion/strong communities these days.
Huh, that's fascinating
I wonder how long Adobe is going to care about professional photographers for Lightroom. That sounds crazy, I know, but I would bet that the percentage of Lightroom users who are actual working pros is tiny and shrinking. At some point it will be more profitable for Adobe to abandon that tiny and demanding customer group to some other company and focus on prosumers with Lightroom CC.

Pros who need Photoshop will still need Adobe. There is nothing remotely close to replacing Photoshop. And AFAIK, every Lightroom competitor ships with an “open this file in Photoshop” button.

Apple did this with Final Cut. After years of being proud that Real Hollywood Films were edited with Final Cut, they gave up Hollywood and pivoted the product firmly toward prosumers. It has not hurt Apple at all, and probably saved them some money and heartache along the way.
With a leading question like that, why would he answer. Don't agree with Rand myself, but it seems like "the weak die" is nature's law, or the law of the jungle if you will. Break that rule ams you run the risk of breaking evolution amd incentives for self improvement. Most moral codes in the soft amd declining West deny this. A case could easily be made that this is why they are in decline.

The vast majority of people on the planet cannot afford $4 for a cup of coffee, though Apple tends to not care about most people as much as its rivals (so it doesn't market its phones to most people).
Big media is controlled by big players in the US as well. People stopped trusting the media. The people seem to be falling for it in your country. Is there anything you can do to educate them? Without a population who questions all is lost.
Even in the 90s, SSL (and PGP) used hybrid encryption. The data is encrypted (and authenticated) using symmetric primitives and the symmetric keys are exchanged or established using asymmetric cryptography. Asymmetric cryptography is also used to authenticate the counter party.

RSA encryption was popular for SSL/TLS but because it does provide forward secrecy it was deprecated. These days RSA is only used in digital signatures (which are not encryption) while key exchange is done using Diffie Hellman (specifically ECDHE).

CBC mode cipher suites used to add up to 8 bytes of padding (for deprecated 3DES) and up to 16 bytes of padding for AES, but the mac-then-encrypt TLS construction turned out to be very hard to implement correctly, so TLS 1.3 only allows modes based on CTR (AES GCM, CCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305) so not even minimal padding is done.

I wonder why microsoft is forced to use same adware tactics to encourage people to use their products

Wouldn't products automatically get users if they are good? specially when they are made by the vendor of the system?

maybe the issue is they are just bad products?

The author starts by expressing a severely limited ontology, sets up a convenient dichotomy, and then assembles some straw men from some exclusively secular and materialist constraints. For what is this the sugar pill? Ah, right. The homogenaity and fungibility of humanity, resistance to a single global authority is futile, give up what you have, etc.

His is view is the seed of this universal morality, surely?

Mapbox is the probably the best GL based mapping client but it is no longer free on the latest version. Although, its not designed to work with PostGIS explicitly you definitely can. (i.e. querying mvts, map tiles, through PostGIS)

Leaflet as others have said is another good option, but is really made for old slipply map tiles.

Most of the ESRI based web clients I think look and feel terrible IMO. Rendering just looks off. What features are you looking for in a mapping client?

Thanks. I know a guy who was trained to place demolition charges on the US warheads in Buchel in case the base was overrun, and I had gotten the false impression from him that all of the warheads had since been removed.
It’s not about good and evil, the problem is the mismatch of power between merchants and customers. This is a matter of policy and if it can be taken advantage of, it will. Stop it with the “bad evil company dark patterns” junk. Incentives matter.

US is "so much richer" than Russia. China is "so much richer" than Russia.

France is not "so much richer" than Russia. You chop 40% of France's GDP and that's the GDP of Russia. Sure that's bigger but then Russia has 2x the amount of people and... 30x the country size. 30x.

I have absolutely zero doubts that Russia is going to overtake France's GDP in a not so distant future.

Since losing the Waterloo battle France went from world's 1st superpower (debatable) to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (in the eighties and maybe still in the nineties?), then 6th and now 7th. And the path seems pretty clear to me.

(I'm not russian btw and I don't approve what Russia is doing here but I know how "cocorico" french people can be and I wouldn't want others to be mislead so I simply present facts: chop 40% of France's GDP and you've got Russia's GDP. Russia has 2x the population and 30x the land of France)
This is only a problem for cultural relativists. Morals always exist within a cultural framework of expected behaviors. If we can agree that some behaviors are wrong (the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia for example) We can say unequivocally the west is a morally superior culture to Saudi Arabia on that point.

Dominant cultures always impose laws on subordinated cultures. In the 19th century the answer to this problem was simple. "Just go over there and make them follow our rules." These days we tie ourselves into knots doing the same thing while pretending to respect other cultures.

A PhD and being good at whiteboarding (I've started algorithmic challenges at around 10yo) got me a L3 job. Which levels.fyi values at a total of $190k, but in my location was actually around €100k. Anything above that, you have to show something more valuable than coding on a napkin.
That’s not obvious to me at all. I comment on both YouTube and HN, and I don’t feel I’m part of any “community”. I just think the quality of the average, highly upvoted HN comment is about 100 times greater than the equivalent YouTube comment.
>…at MP3 quality.

Not necessarily... why? We have been very successful with amp / pedal modeling through regular DSP methods. You'd be very hard pressed to find an album that doesn't use one nowadays. What makes NN methods fundamentally different?

>it's not going to be nice to play through if it's incurring any significant latency.

Yes but this is a non issue for many of the current systems, actually since a couple decades ago. 1-2ms latency is pretty achievable, especially with a RT kernel. That is the natural latency of a sound source about 1 meter away from you.
I didn't intent to say we need to "crush" people into changing, rather the definition of our tribes should change.

You know, when a president says "we gotta unite the nation" in a speech, that's kinda what they're trying to do. Except just saying "oh yeah, let's unite" falls quite short of achieving that goal.

But no, it's not about coercing and crushing anyone.
I think PyCharm Professional's docker-compose remote interpreter[0] does too. It was a lot of setup but it's the only way I know to have your code run inside containers and actually be able to stop at breakpoints inside them. (I don't know much about Docker.)

That's fair. In my news feed, this is mostly an issue for independent developers than companies (all providers). We are a startup (year and change old) and we have human contacts in GCP. And not because we have personal connections in GCP teams. GCP reached out to us, we have had a few calls and so on, like any normal vendor. Our experience has been totally contrary to what I hear from independent developers.

Dialogue Management: A Comprehensive Introduction (2021 Edition)
Suddenly Wealthy from Markets, Some Millennials Are Stressed
@yboris. Your account says that you are an 'Effective Altruist'. In a nutshell, Ayn Rand believes that altruism is immoral and argues why.

Given your eloquently put understanding of her philosophy, I doubt that you are interested in digging deeper. But in case I'm wrong, everything is summarised in a short interview with Mike Wallace (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHl2PqwRcY0).
You don't need to brake to go over a speed bump if you're already going slowly enough, and there's no reason either way to immediately accelerate up to the end of the street where you're just going to have to slow again, regardless of the signing.
Just for Facebook though. Bet you they’re doing very little to encumber themselves in that respect.

Newer Nokia/HMD dumb phones come with a Facebook app, they are not running Android.
Microsoft actually had a winning formula. Make cheap phones that work alright. And they were getting market share with later wp7 and throughout wp8.

Between wp8 and WM10, they merged the phone team with the regular OS team, and eliminated (or at least gutted) their QA teams, and they decided to target the high end market only. There were no low spec WM10 phones, and there hadn't been many high end buyers anyway, so who was going to buy WM10? And upgrading to WM10, when available, was often a bad experience.

Also, mobile Edge had a nicer renderer than mobile IE, but it was sooooo much worse UX (laggy, slow, navigation buttons went into some sort of button press queue to be resolved seconds later). When you've driven away app developers, ruining the browser isn't a good choice.

So, it's not that you needed more money (although I'm sure it would help), you also need to not abandon the market niche you found in search of an unobtainable, but potentially more lucrative one, and you need to make releases be consistently better each time. (It would also help if one of the big players stumbled, but you can't count on that).
How’s the covid situation over there? Is it under control and are they ready to accept the risks that tourists bring?
Most (all?) prior mediums were initially pay to play. Print, radio, telegraph, TV, cable, fax, ATMs.

Then there's some kind of phase change. Like maybe when costs reduce enough for Metcalfe's Law to kick-in.

[I don't quite recall what some other theorists have said. Shirky's observations about cost of coordination. McLuhan's distinctions between passive and active engagement (aka push vs pull).]

Apple's privacy power play may be the first time someone manages to put the toothpaste back into the tube, for an entire medium and by extension ecosystem.

Some mediums, like rail and phones, manage to remain pay to play. Maybe there's something to be learned by compare and contrast.

The choice of the word universal is a bit ironic, as the nature of the (physical) universe prevents such a thing from being possible.

Unified morality, like a unified concept of what is “human”, is a temporary consequence of centralization in a single location. Right now, that’s Earth. But good luck maintaining a uniform conception of right and wrong when it takes a few decades to get to the next civilization.

For that matter, good luck maintaining a unified concept of human being. Mars, for instance, has a number of qualities that will select for certain traits over others. A colony developing there, sufficiently isolated, would start to develop into a variant quite unlike us earthlings.

Bad news: that means it is absolutely a part of your job not to do any work for your competitors.

Or you can move somewhere that noncompetes aren't honored, or refuse to sign that contract. I've yet to sign an employment contract exactly as it's handed to me.

You can always decide that your contractual obligations don't apply, but don't be surprised when the counterparty pursues one of the remedies for defaulting specified in that same contract.

I also think it's kind of insulting to claim that a clause specifying that an athlete must do media appearances is at all comparable to noncompetes. The latter are banned in California for a reason, and I think that should happen more widely.

By contrast, entertainers promoting themselves is a basic part of the job. Do you really think that sort of clause should be declared unenforceable by statute? On what grounds?
Its cousin, the American paddlefish, is still around, though it's vulnerable.

Among other similar reasons (overfishing, pollution), dams are related to its decline: "Series of dams on rivers such as those constructed on the Missouri River have impounded large populations of American paddlefish, and blocked their upstream migration to spawning shoals.[29]"

But it's not too late...

My apologies. "Replication crisis" (or Ted Talks, really) strikes again. I should have said "demonstrated," though that's probably a cop out.

From the wiki article and its meta research source, it seems that researchers do support the general idea that housing, enrichment and social conditions affect addiction. Popular science has just overstated the results.

"While the Rat Park studies did not use methods that are reliable by current standards, enrichment has been shown to reliably reduce opioid consumption and this effect can generalise to other drugs of abuse."

Incidentally, I don't understand why stuff like this is still ambiguous. This is a classroom experiment, resource-wise. Why hasn't it been refined, replicated and conducted at scale sufficient to be reliable?
