When PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) ruled Mexico, things were stable. There was a plaza system. Whatever you see in India today is a microcosm of such a plaza system in Mexico. As PRI lost power, also because of the kingpin strategy used by the USA, Mexico is in shambles: emergence of many ruthless cartels. Many believe that Ex-president Carlos Salinas and his brother made billions from such a collusion between PRI, plaza system and crony capitalists. For instance, people say, Carlos Slim funneled money for Salinas, etc.

"Narcotrafficking had formerly been integrated into the PRI corporatist state, an under-the-table equivalent of labor, peasant, and business organizations. As such it was subject to a certain degree of regulatory control, and to unofficial taxation, in return for the de facto licensing of smuggling (the plaza system). The state’s abandonment of this form of corporatist inclusion contributed to the independent growth and power of organized crime syndicates."[1]

How awesome would it be if we could exclude specific dirs or files from bind mounts. Think of cache directories, log files, and, of course, node_modules.

The common workaround to this, is to create an empty volume and map whatever you don't want mounted to it. You'll end up with an empty directory in your host system, but its contents are available from within the container.

It has many problems though, mostly permission and ownership related, but it somehow makes Docker for Mac even slower and crash even more often than usual.

Example minimal docker-compose.yaml file for a custom "devcontainer" we use in VSCode that showcases the workaround:

version: '3.8'

services:
project:
image: devcontainer:dev
container_name: devcontainer
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
args:
ALPINE_VERSION: '3.13'
NODE_VERSION: '14.16.1'
ports:
- 3000:3000
volumes:
- ..:/project
- node_modules:/project/node_modules:cached

volumes:
node_modules:

This feature gets asked for quite often. Here are two issues on GitHub I was quickly able to find:

Correct, and I should have used the word unified here as I did later in my comment. It is possible that certain civilizations, without coming into any contact with each other, would arrive at similar moral conclusions based on observing nature.

But I still don’t think this is sustainable once we factor in evolution and adaptations to different environments.

> What would the world economy look like if China had reported their real numbers, and these real numbers had triggered a safety threshold and banned/heavily restricted travel from China for the 2 months December and January?

In late January 2020, China:

* Announced there was human-to-human transmission.

* Completely sealed off Hubei province (population: 60 million).

* Implemented lockdowns in cities throughout China.

Yet most countries did next to nothing for a month or more. It wasn't until hospitals in Lombardy, Italy started filling up that people in Europe and the US started to take the virus seriously. So my prediction: better information from China (which the Chinese government itself did not necessarily have anyways) and more dire warnings from the WHO would have had no effect. Following WHO recommendations would already have been a massive improvement over what European countries and the US did.

That’s an important distinction. And why I called out that much of the ratio imbalance is due to abortion and not literally people killing their baby after birth, although this does occur nonzero and is really horrifying to me.

Ancient cultures practiced it much more frequently and I think shows how different cultures have different values for life.
Every enterprise timesheet and expense system I've ever used was a slow, barely usable, confusing disaster. But I don't think that was because the VM failed to pre-allocate memory for some operations.

Without the superlatives and strawman attacks and with an actual description of how things should be done instead this would be an interesting read.
All of what you say may be correct, but

> Also, they rely entirely on WALS, which isn’t a great source of linguistic data.

the state of linguistic data is appalling in general. We have over 7000 languages in the world and yet, most of them are barely described, with grammars often being terribly inconsistent. I don't really know how to solve that problem except, in fact, hoping that the errors somehow do cancel out as you suggested.
> If you have attached a device to my vehicle without my consent, you've forfeited ownership.

Are you stating your personal take on the issue, or what the laws and courts have decided?
I just became slightly enraged and irrational at the idea that I could potentially be stalked by hostile police, and any defensive behavior could result in them misrepresenting my behavior in a legal setting and successfully convicting me.
Oh, I didn't know that. This is definitely an important consideration.
Ethereum (ETH) 2.0 Contract Sets a New Record
Japan has extremely good fiber connectivity. You can live in a small cottage high up on the mountainside of a small village and have the NTT monopoly get you near-1Gbps installed for 20,000 yen and ~5,000 per month. You can usually get cable for cheaper and even the LTE can be good enough for many.

She was a poor rural village woman.

Of course, forced sterilization is not going to work in the cities. Because people with some form of certain degree of intellect understand the use of contraception and can just forgo their job or certain possession to pay the fine.

Forced sterilization was never an explicit policy. Everyone with decent intellect knows that's ridiculous.

It was practiced, of course, out of middle and low level bureaucracy's sense of "meeting the goal".

Of course CCP has not enough resources to enforce a ridiculous policy anyway.

I tried to run this on my 16" mbp (8 core i9, 64gb ram, radeon pro 5500m 8gb). The starter 3rd person template maxed out every single core and I was getting about 17-20 fps.

edit 2016 !== 16", and it was apparently still compiling shaders behind the scenes. Now it's stable at 120 fps.
Thanks for taking the time to write all that out and share your experience!!

I'd say my definition of "free will" is this context is more a hill's slope than a traffic light.

In that the slope is the difficulty of making (or not making) a decision. Where addiction doesn't preclude "not", but makes it harder / less likely.

I.e. the internalization of the external "10/100 non-addicts would choose to do X" vs "60/100 addicts would choose to do X"

Or to put it another way, whereas someone might be able to avoid doing something on everything except their 10% worse days, an addict might except on their 50% worse days.

Would be very curious with how that jives with your lived experience? When you made decisions (positive or negative), did it feel like the odds were tilted? Or did it feel exactly like it did before you started using?
Well, this is going to be one of those things Americans wouldn't conceive, but the US should probably have federal schools.

As far as I know there are public schools, but the curricula are dictated by states and paid by states and by local taxes, primarily.

I might be wrong, that's just based on what I read in the US press.
In the recent(ish) movie Midway there is a scene where the IJN is wargaming the upcoming attack, and they get their asses kicked since some cheeky junior officer playing the Americans doesn't keep the carriers waiting in Pearl Harbor but rather NE of Midway (which is what later happened in reality). So they reprimand that officer and restart the game with the clause that the US carriers must stay at Pearl until the attack on Midway island starts.

Don't know whether such a wargaming episode happened in reality.
As another commenter mentioned, "refresh" tipped them off as a front end dev.

As a backend dev working in statically typed languages, I will sometimes code for hours without running, and I wouldn't say anything about it is terrible. I haven't worked with Typescript, but it wouldn't surprise me if it enabled a similar development process.

I wouldn't necessarily infrequent running as a technique worth emulating, but in certain situations it works pretty well.
"these old paddle fish species"

Unless you're including sturgeon in that group, there is now only one surviving species of paddlefish. That one, thanks to heavy conservation efforts, is listed as vulnerable, but not endangered. It's actually legal to sport fish in many states but takes are heavily regulated. The closely related sturgeon species are also struggling.
That's a novel argument. I believe what Rand was ultimately concerned with was a morality that is rational and objective; the idea being that one only needs to rely on one's own reason in order to judge what is moral and what is not. As to universality of moral doctrines, if I was feeling malicious, I'd say that the Catholic church was there first (that's what 'Catholic' means, after all). Some rather remarkable moral notions have historically been 'universally accepted', as you say.
>>“To find a fair probability of unauthorized control here, we would need to conclude the Hoosiers don’t have the authority to remove unknown, unmarked objects from their personal vehicles,” Chief Justice Loretta Rush wrote for a unanimous court.

Yup. Finders' keepers.

The only question is what is the most fun thing to do with it. Maybe a full teardown? Or, use a drone to deposit it up on the top of a tel/power utility pole a block from the police offices (or just attach it to a strong string and another weight and throw it waaaay up in a tree nearby?

There's surely more clever & fun ideas out there...
The source of that statement is the police, who have an incentive to lie at this point. And the statement is uncorroborated, and remains so by their own doing, since they're also apparently claiming the right to keep the warrant secret until after the investigation is over. Which doesn't sound too kosher. So you might've been right.
Honestly my experience is basically the opposite: Maintaining a coherent development environment is what makes programming tedious.

I'd much prefer to just specify in a dockerfile that I need this compiler, these tools and these env-variables, and then I never have to worry about that stuff again.
That might be different once you start wearing VR goggles.

The experience becomes more immersive if you see a realistic world, and not pixels.

The Amazon example is so weak. Who the f navigates to a product page by typing the ID in the URL?

The only argument I can think of in favor of this proposed alternative is if at some point in your business workflow someone needs to manually type an ID and cannot copy paste it. Sounds pretty rare to me. Even support is now done more and more via chat systems.
There were always reasonable people questioning the WHO and whether this was a lab leak, the problem is that they were out-shouted by crazies, then got swept up into various blanket bans.

In general this seems to happen to all moderate discourse during highly political events, to the point where I almost feel like it's a strategy part of the time.
I agree, for e2e/integration testing, excellent

Wealthy eyeballs worth more (a lot). Wealthy people most likely to pay to not see ads. A super high price to justify not showing ads to wealthy people will make the whole offering moot.

I don't have the numbers but if it's anything like the rest of the economy, top 10% is probably spending something like 60% of total spent. So removing the top 10% from the targetable population for ads can be a huge hit to ad revenues.
Lets remind us our dates.

July 4, 1898, the Newlands Resolution was a joint resolution by the United States Congress to annex the independent Republic of Hawaii. In 1900, Congress occupied the Territory of Hawaii, despite the opposition of most native Hawaiians.

Dec 7, 1941 is when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Hawai'i, an occupied territory.

August 21, 1959 is when they were forcibly turned into a state, after 60 years of occupation.

Note that Japan did not bomb native settlements and cities where civilians and natives lived - only the occupying force.

Edit: both posts are at -4. And indeed it's sad to see close minded nationalism take and keep hold. The world is bigger than from Hawai'i to Maine, and the USA is often the aggressor. I liken to consider myself a citizen of the earth, and not any one nation.

Stop conflating someone paying for digital goods as being a “rich person”.

If you’re serious about dating, you could afford to spend $10 a month. Most people can make $10 in less than an hour of work. You could probably afford $40 dollars a month easily. Don’t worry, your actual dates will probably cost you more than that and often you’ll get nothing in return...

People have been sucking on the teet of free social media for so long that the thought of even paying a couple dollars for something makes them feel they are buying a luxury good, when you are literally just giving up some pocket change.

Meanwhile, they buy $5 lattes and $10 burgers a few times a week and pay god knows how much for a myriad of streaming services, without a second thought.
Lighting is easily the biggest hurdle I encountered trying to build games as a solo dev. It's not particularly hard to understand the concepts, but it's quite unintuitive and labour intensive to get good looking lighting. It was also very prone to engine-specific bugs or tweaks in obscure settings, very frustrating.

I guess like many industries as these new technologies come in there will be old-hands who lament how easy it is for newcommers, but if I could do away with the whole lot and just look at lighting as if I were dressing a movie set, and materials acted exactly as you'd expect, it would be so enabling.
How does copyright work in that case? Can't we reasonably assume that GPT is reciting stories from random web pages, which belong to their author?

AFAIK GPT-3 was not trained only on public domain data?
Unreal actually already has an automatic LOD creation system (https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/WorkingWithContent/...), and there are quite a number of 3d Content middleware solutions that run this sort of mesh reduction processes. In one sense Nanite isn't anything brand new, but what is really exciting about it is that it operates from the sculpt downwards. As in, you import from zbrush raw, with the highest raw textures, and everything is automatically handled by the engine itself, in such a way that the LOD transitions are really hard to spot.

From what I've seen on Twitter, it looks like it really delivers, even in its early stage: https://twitter.com/IonizedGames/status/1397636481913610241
Agreed, we don't need people coming in trying to be woke PTA moms trying to nerf everything to a pacified, coddled uselessness.
The Millennium Challenge was a farce but _the Millennium Challenge was completely right_.

The point of the millenium challenge was to see if modern advances in C3 could allow a numerically inferior force to the one used in Desert Storm could invade Iraq successfully.

What they discovered was against a tenacious and unconventional enemy willing to use elite troops in daring and near suicidal ways then America would take unacceptable losses.

But.....

That's not the enemy they were going to face. They were going to face the Iraqi army. So whislt on the face of it the "reset" was ludicrous it was also appropriate.

And, I was a critic of the US military's strategy for the Invasion of Iraq, I thought the force ratios were insufficient and I was wrong. The Millennium Challenge did indeed show that C3 advances were sufficient to allow the lower force ratios to succeed.

(Of course the Millennium Challenge did have other failures in the limits of what it was testing. The occupation of Iraq was botched from the opening days as whilst the force numbers were sufficient to beat the Iraq army they were not sufficient to occupy the country in a way that stopped it descending into chaos)
It depends on scale. Certainly there are areas of our solar system with greater or lesser densities, but those differences are vast. There should be no appreciable difference in density across a few hundred kilometers.
Not OP: I have a fit band but it only gets notifications if Bluetooth is on. I'd be (ie, I am) surprised to find you couldn't turn Bluetooth off and that they purposefully provide a switch that doesn't work so they can fool you to thinking you can turn it off.

Presumably only Android works like this?
This is a good article, and the story is certainly emotionally appealing, with the maverick who goes against the prevailing wisdom being proven correct in the end.

I wonder how this sort of story would look when put into the context of a large scale investigation into military strategy and dissenting voices. When these contrarians pop up are they usually right? Maybe there are heaps of them and 9 out of 10 times conventional military strategy is the better option?

Modern military history seems to have so many examples of leaders being wrong, including 'successful' ones, it's hard to extract a clear narrative in many cases.

3] please pull over for secondary inspection before crossing the border
There was no indication whether that poster was Western or not. Only you read that aspect into the comment. The poster was ripping on China specifically. And then you magnified it into higher stakes: that the presumably Western poster must be skeptical of or hostile to all non-Western policymaking. That says more about your presumptions about Westerners than it does about the comment.

And yes, the poster ribbed on the word harmonious, but again, that wasn’t the point. The meat of the post was about being ruled by big brother Han. Interestingly, you didn’t object to that bit at all!

I don’t know if there’s some objective measure of “percentage of sensory perception occupied by ads” but I guess if there were it would be about 90% lower 50 years ago - and still people found things.

It’s not binary ads/no-ads, and not all are equal (e.g. product placement is often subtle and not in-your-face).

It is not unthinkable that 95% of ad budget is wasted. (I am sure the majority of ad budget 50 years ago was too, even if it was just 70%)
How is he doing in finding opportunities, has he found one yet? Whats the most revolutuonary thing they've done in the past five years, increased the character limit?

You cannot possibly be serious, assigning twitter CEO some super demanding nebulous task of 'looking for new opportunities' but somehow downgrading Wikipedia one to that of a middle-manager.

Both websites have a massive audience, both have new intiatives and the ones by wikipedia are actually productive. Both have to deal with attempts at censorship, inappropriate content, and both have to find a place in the rapidly shifting techbology landscape.

This judgement 'if it's charity work then it's easy' comes across as dishonest and presumptios.

If you're walking down an alley one night and someone grabs you and you punch them any reasonable court will find assault charges levied against you completely bogus.

Unless... that person is a police officer, then you could be charged with and likely be convicted of assaulting an officer. Police officers in America, and most other countries, need to adhere to a completely different and much more lax set of rules than most people - that's partially for a good reason due to the line of work they're in - but some people do abuse it and leverage law enforcement privileges and equipment to abuse random folks. Like, for instance, planting a tracking device on your partner to see if they're cheating on you - probably illegal and IA will probably come down on that officer - but they're much more likely to get away with it scott free.
