The average person isn't necessarily the problem. Start with the people who benefit the most from the least help. Steady access to decent food, clean water, safe non-toxic housing, and preventative healthcare. Is that so much to ask for?
Have a look around the average university campus, look at the curriculum. Is it any surprise that those who went through these institutions come out ideologically lopsided? This is true for most of the countries I have experience with, it even holds true for a large part of pre-university education. Add to this the more recent phenomenon of trying to label all those who do not keep within the (narrow and shifting) window of allowed opinions and the recipe for producing an ideological monoculture is complete.

To me this is a sign of these institutions failing in their duties. It this situation does not get remedied it will lead to the creation of new institutions which welcome those who do not wish to align themselves with the current dogma, something akin to the way the Protestant church was founded out of disagreements with Catholic dogma.

Nope, science is just shifting the perspective.

There is a nice video of Feynman about it, appropriately titled "Why":

It can get you Juicero, or it could get you Android. That's the whole thing with investing, isn't it? It's rather uncertain.
Dirac worked four hours in the morning and then had fun the rest of the day. He would have agreed with you and it paid off for him ;)
I agree completely, and Linux runtimes generally meaningfully address the difference.

WebAuthn is good, easy to use, quick to complete, and more secure than "enter the number we send you", so I like it. Unfortunately most services (that I use, anyway) are stuck in the "let's make you wait 1-2 minutes for a SMS" or "use our/your authenticator app". I find this especially annoying in conjunction with services that seem to use "risk-based authentication", because using an adblocker and anti-fingeprinting = extreme maximum risk for those, i.e. let's force 2FA auth for every action even after five minutes (sometimes, seconds!).

And as far as RBA goes, if they don't go full-2FA, they'll often somehow go for password instead of second factor to verify. I tend to keep my password manager locked when not in active use, so that's more hassle for me on services that DO use WebAuthn (Github, Google) than if they'd just use WebAuthn for the "high risk action" verification.
If you grub around on YouTube you can find plenty of coverage of the London Underground's ghost stations.
It's not even really consistent within the US. Offices in (say) San Francisco, New York, and Atlanta will have very often different corporate cultures.
Where were the people you met from? In my city there's a lot of japanese people, they helped create a thriving steel industry here many decades ago. Many of them learned some portuguese, they could communicate but not fluently. Gendered words in particular seemed to be particularly difficult. The russian I met on the other hand spoke it fluently, maybe even better than native speakers.

How is Google ranking 10/10 on protecting user privacy if they considered people choosing to shut off their location tracking as a crisis worthy of pressuring OEMs to make it harder?

The thing Googlers and Xooglers alike seem absolutely unable to grapple with is that Google itself is a major privacy threat, and we don't want Google itself to have this information.

The fox is guarding the henhouse, and all the fox is doing is telling us it's protecting it from other foxes.

I agree following fixed lanes with stored maps and GPS won't work on snow-covered roads. But you lost me in two places.

First, does following others' tracks necessarily mean visual-range light? I'd expect you could see tracks on infrared. Probably also LIDAR—this isn't my field of expertise but obviously tracks have depth, so I'd think it'd work if the resolution/precision is sufficient. (Not sure how well LIDAR works while snow is falling but that's a different concern than the one you mentioned.)

Second, does using visual-range light (for some or all of the input) mean having automatic high beams on? I very rarely use high beams myself. (Then again, maybe automatic high beams very rarely turns on too.)

And certainly if other vehicles/pedestrians are actually present at the moment—when it's most important to be behaving like them—infrared, LIDAR, and RADAR are options for seeing them.
Going to have to say "duh" here. Short of an e2ee location sharing app, you have to send your location through an intermediary for your friend to see it.
> Australia does not allow tax combining.

Australia has family trusts, which can allow significant savings on tax. Or used to, I haven't lived there for most of a decade.
Hmm. In Finland all foodstuffs (apart from alcohol) have the same reduced VAT rate, which is somewhat easy to arrange but of course doesn’t exactly match the essential/luxury division very well. Everything from noodles to caviar has the same reduced VAT rate.

Anyway, whether something costs 1.06x or 1.23x is not a vast difference, so VAT brackets can be a useful tool, crude as they are. It’s quite a different story when it’s about something being literally free or not. You also have the problem of deciding how to ration all of those free goods, given that market forces aren’t there to control demand.

I thought it was the virtue signalling humble brags that were the bane of linkedin. Am I the only one who thinks linkedin is like the looking glass version of Twitter?

Twitter: "So and so is so awful, gnash, boycott shame! Have you read my blog?"

LinkedIn: "That sooo resonates with me! You're such a insightful thought leader, have you read my blog?"
I really can’t understand this reasoning. Google is part of the reason broadband is bad in the US, because they tried to fix it by competing with the telecoms? This like saying, a person has a gun pointed at your head, it’s really your fault if they shoot you when you try to get away.
>" The concept in one sentence: We overestimate the likelihood of events that are easier to recall. "

Yep, very true. That's why propaganda press (whether it is for political gain, financial or legal advantage) works.

Without special cognitive guards, the target population is extremely vulnerable to subsequent ill effects of such bias.

The guards, once developed, are often called (part of) critical thinking.

But I do not think they are universally 'natural'. Some people develop it early on in life (often due to life experiences of being manipulated), some develop it only later in life, some lack them completely.

Mick West and Phil "Thunderf00t" Mason have released videos debunking several of the "genuine UFO" videos that have come out recently, and I've found their explanations convincing.

I'm more interested in the motivations of the U.S. military for releasing footage that appears to be so easily debunked. If the reason is truly that they're fishing for higher budgets, that's taking a pretty cynical view of those responsible for making those decisions... Like, tossing a pie plate in the air, and showing that video to halfwit politicians and asking for more money for defense. It's a bummer, if that's what's going on.
My sister died of brain cancer a year ago. When she was on treatment at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, I accompanied her to see a Chaplain that specializes on counseling. I am not religious but my sister was. The Chaplain said something that stayed with me and I feel has helped me. "Be grateful", and she explain the scientific evidence. I don't let negative feelings enter my head. Many things are beyond your control, so there is no use on ruminating about them. Just be grateful, of the big things or the little things. Find something. I have a photo on my fridge where my sister has big smile it is from the day she got her citizenship. That is what I choose to remember, the smile, the good things. Focus on the good things and be great-full for them.
Others have talked about the history of UTF-16. I'll focus on that last part: You must not write 32-bit wide characters in UTF-8.

Unicode / ISO 10646 is specifically defined to only have code points from 0 to 0x10FFFF. As a result UTF-8 that would decode outside that range is just invalid, no different from if it was 0xFF bytes or something.

It also doesn't make sense to write UTF-8 that decodes as U+D800 through U+DFFF since although these code points exist, the standard specifically reserves them to make UTF-16 work, and you're not using UTF-16.

Not the solution you are looking for, but…

SSIS will generate a schema for a CSV file and then let you modify any column you choose (including what you described). All it does, really, is generate the schema that the “SQL Server bulk copy” tool interprets.
Sure, any given feature may be developed by a single company in a central location. But in aggregate, IIUC, Linux kernel development is decentralized. It's not like a proprietary OS such as Windows, where feature development happens top-down (including the decisions about which features get developed in which office). For example, recall that the hypervisor built into the Linux kernel, KVM, was originally developed and contributed by a little company in Israel (before they got bought by Red Hat). They needed a hypervisor for their desktop virtualization product, so they developed it and contributed it. It wasn't part of any grand top-down strategy for the Linux OS. IMO, that's the key difference.
It's an interesting question. I think there is something in distance + time + technological advances at the source? If you advanced your technology, in theory your new stuff could literally pass(collect) your old stuff? I think if you're intellectually advanced enough to send what you suspect will be a successful mission to another system, you can kinda reason through aborting/changing it based on the advances you might make in the time it takes to travel? Not sure that makes any sense.

The Byron Bay house you linked is a 7000sqft 7-bedroom mansion... doesn’t seem like quite a fair comparison, random little bungalows in the Bay Area cost the same.
Not sure, though I doubt it. Linear constraint solvers are generally good for layouts et al, but not great for more involved engineering tasks. I've seen finite domain constraint solvers used in more general cases as they better support more nuanced operations at the cost of memory and processing power.

You have to report taxes. Whether you pay taxes depends on whether there's a tax treaty with your residence to avoid double taxation. Australia and the USA have such a treaty.

A note: reporting applies to tax residents, not just citizens. Brendan will be reporting to the US for some years to come, simply by virtue of his long time spent in the US.

(Of course, I am not a tax lawyer, etc)

> If you don't feel committed to the US, then why would you put up with such a thing?

For the protections of citizenship and the right to vote. If you have made a life in the US that's worth having.
So if I take a million people into the gas chambers, and they are diverse in every dimension, then I have merely committed a mass-murder, but not a genocide? But if, in the minds of those people, just before I hit the switch, a collective identity forms -- "The People of the Gas Chamber" -- then my act is instead genocide, due to their internal mental state? (Interestingly, little would be so likely to cause such a shared identity to come into existence, as exactly this kind of shared threat.)
I'm supposed to trust one of the masses that doesn't understand that bias and biased are two different words?
Or better yet, that a large corporation and a mega corporation are two different beasts.

The latter needs to be regulated.

I disagree that a motto is just marketing fluff. Especially in smaller companies, a mission statement can provide guidance that, in practical terms, acts as a tool for decision making for every employee in the organization (and to some extent, partners and clients)

But once they’re large enough where they could collapse the world economy if the CEO snorts a bad batch one day and decides to fire everyone, then that type of stuff is meaningless.
LinkedIn = Instagram for business people.
I use algorithmic passwords. I have an algorithm that takes in several parameters and generates a unique password per service. For example, my algorithm `f` might be:

f(domain, secret_word, secret_sentence, rules)

= UPPER(KEY_TO_RIGHT(domain[0:3])) + secret_word + secret_sentence[LENGTH(domain)] + LENGTH(domain) + PAD_TO_20("X")

So if my secret word were "bottleneck" and my secret sentence were "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." my algorithm generates the following passwords:

google.com:

f("google", "bottleneck", "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." , rules)

password = "HPPbottleneckacknowledged,6"

(note that "HPP" are the letters on the keyboard shifted right from "GOO")

microsoft.com:

f("microsoft", "bottleneck", "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." , rules)

password = "ZOVbottlenecksingle9"

The "rules" parameter is because some sites have length restrictions, symbol restrictions, and you may have to truncate the password or replace symbols. Also in "rules" is how many times you've changed a given password. I store the "rules" in a google doc.

Anyway, the nice thing about this system is that the algorithm is in your brain and you can use it to generate the password for a given service without relying on a password manager. So theoretically if I got stranded in Europe as a tourist and my phone got stolen, I'd still be able to get into my accounts (assuming 2FA isn't enabled...).

Password managers definitely generate more secure passwords, but my goal isn't to be the most secure, it's to strike a balance between the things I care about (and I care about being able to get into my accounts if I somehow lose access to my password manager).
Nobody desires to to create well formed documents :) it’s just a rudiment of the technology we use, not the main objective
The history is very complicated indeed.

Rus (as statehood) originated in Novgorod (originally as a republic, btw). Then center was moved to Kiev. Then to Moscow.
At those times there were no such entity (and ethnicity) as Ukraine at all.

Significantly later it was Cossacks republic on part of territory of modern Ukraine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporozhian_Sich#/media/File:0...
At that time it was no Ukrainian ethnicity too. Cossacks (armed settlers) were multiethnic by definition - members were ethnically Rus, Poland, Tatar, etc. from all close and far neighbors as this was area and society of refugees. That mix eventually transformed into separate ethnicity.

In Russian Empire Cossacks were playing role of armed border guard/settlers were spread across border regions of Russia:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e4/Uk...

Ukraine as an ethnicity is relatively new entity. And needless to say that Ukraine as an entity with definitive borders was a communist invention, Lenin and later Stalin have drawn its borders - Russian Empire had no division on ethnical principles.

Really interesting concept. I like the general lines of the bike. Looks really well thought out/clean sheet mechanical design.

Two points of contention:

1)
After putting over 40k+ miles on various bikes, I never once wished there was a self balancing feature to make it stand up on its own. At a stop light; I put my foot down; at a really long stop light, I put the kickstand down.

If the self balancing feature can function as form of driver aid. Meaning you declarivity tell the bike "I want this line with this apex"; then the bike will follow through with it's active systems. That would be wild.

2)
The device right behind the rider gives me goosebumps. In a crash; seems like a great way to break your back and be pinned in the bike.

Background data:MechE background. Owned and crashed high CC several motorcycles. I'm doing totally fine healthwise; just really lucky.

At first I thought that has to be straight trolling ("Educate yourself about GNU/Linux"!), but I'm not so sure it is: https://github.com/nullworks/cathook

Either way, deeply weird to put Linux (ehm, "GNU/Linux") into the headline of your cheat that's literally only designed to make a game unplayable (https://github.com/nullworks/cathook/issues/1480).
I would love to have a control panel that lists who I'm sharing my location with. Not what apps. What people and companies, including secondary buyers. With an on/off toggle. And this list needs to include my cell phone carrier, the OS vendor, the hardware manufacturer and, perhaps even the government where there's no warrant. Then extend the model to other things... one can dream.
By that standard, you also can’t rule out disease-induced ADE, dengue style.

But the vaccine developers do know what they’re doing. IIRC, with SARS, a lot of research was done that suggested that antibodies against N might cause ADE but antibodies against S would not. If that carries over to COVID, then maybe one is better off with a vaccine than natural disease: the latter induces antibodies against N but the former does not.
linked in doesn’t solve the networking problem. maybe i’m different but i’ve never reached out to anyone over linked in to “network”. if i needed to do that i would call, text, email. linked ins real purpose is a search engine for recruiters to contact you. your whole contact list could be recruiters and no colleagues and it would be the same website
> You do a paper showing that problem X can be solved slightly better by downloading and training on a billion tweets.

That's true. Sometimes you might try to tweak the algorithm itself rather than the data, though, or experiment with different kinds of preprocessing or something, and in those cases it would be helpful to be able to do different experiments with shared datasets.

My limited experiences were from around the time deep learning was only about to become a big thing, so it might have been different then. Maybe you nowadays just throw more tweets and GPUs at the problem.

I don’t think that belief exists if you’re talking about the “Uber rich”.

There is a belief that you can get rich with hard work in the US. Rich being a few million and enough cash to buy a ridiculous house or exotic car or a boat.

But “uber rich”? Like $1B+, I don’t know anyone who thinks you can do that through hard work alone.
It’s a win win when things don’t go wrong, the litigation environment means that anyone taking offense or claim that they have been discriminated poses a pretty big risk to a big enough company.

It also assumes that managers are always competent enough and have sufficiently good soft skills to handle these sort of situations since involving HR is always “against the employee” as HR is there to protect the company.

Unions might solve this issue but sadly unions aren’t immune to the same corruption that plagues any sufficiently large and political organization so the union becomes self serving rather than serving the employees.

Some countries have better solutions like having an employee board in every company but in large corps these tend to be plagued by corruption as well.

This is speculation - you have no sources to back this up.
You can use the same sort of polite etiquette in well crafted form to undermine these polite attacks. It takes quick thinking and usually works best in the form of an open ended question that sets the BS in its place. No one says anything explicitly but everyone internally acknowledges it. It may be a bit passive aggressive but such is most modern business culture and meetings.
I think this is a blog post, not an article. They've really ruined any reputation that they might have once had by muddling the difference.
It does make technical sense: I haven't looked at Spark for a long time, but there are many mail services which route your email access through their own services so they can add features (e.g. snoozing emails). They don't need 2FA credentials (otherwise, for example, every time you fetched email from the server using a standard IMAP connection you would have to input a TOTP, which you don't). They can either use Oauth for some of these services or generate a token which provides specific access.
Apple collects location data solely to help you. They've built themselves no financial benefit to collect it, so they keep it only on the device and discard it as much as possible, while still providing all the features users want. If you want a location tracker on iOS, you can install one, but it's not a condition of using their mapping product.

Google has a financial incentive to violate your privacy, and all of it's products are designed to serve that goal. So everything that could stay on the device is designed to collect and send data to Google, for their purposes, while they tell you it's to benefit you.

It's a very distinct difference, and the entire design of their respective ecosystems reflects that.
The Wikipedia list says why each London Underground station was closed.

Several are now only for suburban trains. Others were closed when replacing lifts with escalators meant entrances had to be moved, and were now too close to the next station.

See also: http://cartometro.com/cartes/metro-tram-london/ , which marks the closed stations — you can usually see how close they are to other stations.
