>Should your immediate reaction be to assume the statement is false?

No, they have provided evidence, their statement they were assaulted by x. Whether that evidence is reliable is a different matter. Not making your mind up but proceeding as if they are telling the truth is a logical action.

A comparable event would be a stranger coming to you, saying person y was assaulted, and there is evidence x was responsible. You have no way of knowing how strong the evidence is, or if it even exists. And their motive for telling you this is unclear. The burden is on them to provide some kind of evidence before that statement should even be considered undetermined.

In this case, I don't doubt the ransomware attack happened, and I assume they have some idea of who is responsible as ransomware requires communication with the hackers. The claim that they have links to the Chinese government is extraordinary enough that evidence is required.
In machine encoding formats, "much less likely" is the same as "very likely". You're either OK for something to happen or you categorically make it impossible to happen.

Invisible characters also mean you can no longer call a data format "human readable".

The special ASCII characters you're referring to are mostly a historical oddity today.
With modern combat aircraft the easy part is the working airframe actually. The YF-22 first flew in 1989 and finally entered service as the F-22 in 2005. F-35 had a similarly long development time and while its technically been operational for years, its software is like a modern EA release. A lot of the good stuff missing and available as later DLC. They are still patching in drivers for weapons that legacy aircraft already support.

While its definitely good that NGAD has produced a flying prototype so quickly, it isn't proof that they have achieved the goal of faster development.

The primary hinderance has been and still is the software. The defense industry has been slow to adopt modern coding practices. Sometimes that's a good thing. But on the balance its bad. F-35's software development has all of the hallmarks of a project saddled with a great deal of technical debt combined with outdated practices and overburdened with compliance.

Boom is designing the plane around e-fuels, essentially ethanol, which will be created from direct air capture of CO2, water, and renewable electricity, making the fuels carbon neutral. But you can't drop-in replace A-1 with ethanol, potentially the entire platform needs to change.

Depending on the type of renewable energy used in the production of the fuels, there might be some land use issues, but this is about as close as possible to the least impactful transportation option ever designed. Speed is always going to decrease fuel economy, but we're not going to tackle climate change by taking things away from people. Tech improvements like these are exactly what we need to move forward.
When I go to log into Gmail I get “Unknown Error”
Firefox 58, OpenBSD. I know old software is bad, yada yada, but can we not break stuff like log in prompts? I have wasted over an hour today trying to log into my email.

In about 20 years of using web mail services I have never been prevented from logging in by an "unknown error."

The thing is flat() is a poor name for a method and inconsistent with the other array methods which are verbs.

Sacrificing a simple name that will affect 1000x more developers to not break an unmaintained website that’s somehow still up (how? Why is billing being kept up to date and domain names being renewed but the site isn’t being maintained?) was a bad idea.

Also attempting to reframe the controversy as about people misunderstanding smoosh - when it was about ‘flatten’ not being used for a bad reason.

And how do you associate a given NFT as being issued by the true owner of a real-world asset? The answer: by trusting a centralized external authority to verify the association. And if you're already trusting that centralized authority, what's even the point of the NFT?

That's not how I'm thinking about it.
certainly you can avoid being partially culpable for your nation's actions - by dropping out of society, refusing to pay taxes to it, and probably supporting yourself via a life of crime.

If however you are a functioning member of a society and do things to support it you are partially to blame for the things that society does. That amount of blame is not the same for everyone - and for some people it is so minimal it hardly warrants mentioning - but you do have a share.
Do you think people will be able to acknowledge that predisposition to suicide is what killed him and not the gravity of the DA obsession to convict him? The US doesn't have the most people in prison because long sentences caused everyone to kill themselves first, its because people do the time.

I just see so much focus on needing to identify a catalyst (which doesn't affect most people) instead of the pre-existing mental health issue of the person. I think this hampers the necessary conversations to be had on suicide.
They are no doubt kids in age, but from reading a little about the girl, she's been making very adult decisions with real consequences for awhile now. And watching the video of the 12yr old in court, he's vacant and zero emotions.

Honestly, I feel bad that they obviously have had rough start to life but they need real consequences. They need to be out of the juvenile system and in the real courts to have real consequences before they do kill someone. Hopefully that includes lots of therapy but also real jail to protect everyone. They were already in a home for troubled kids because of the juvenile system and it obviously doesn't work for them.

BTW -- I'm not advocating (at this point) they be tried as adults and wind up life in prison etc, just that they are not allowed back into the child offender system where they get put in places which are insecure and unable to deal with them.

That's not apples to apples, necessarily.

Ransom requires a response to incentivize further crime. You don't get paid, it's not an option.

Two points:

- this is how our society is structured generally, the top extract their wealth from the bottom. Credit cards specifically being this way is not an anomaly, it’s consonant with the rest of our political economy.

- Notice the responsibilization of the individual here: though the article uses the language of “systems” in some places, the overall frame is blaming this on the person using the card. Watch the tiktok video- they’re saying “when you use your card, the guy behind you using cash has to pay more so you can get your free flights”. In other words, it’s bad to do this and you’re bad if you do this. The proposed solution is for merchants to tell customers about the processing fee the merchant pays, so the customers will feel bad and pay a different way. That’s not what systemic critique is. Again, they’re using the language of “systems” but really pushing the responsibility for this onto individuals.
It wasn't a tweet they provided at least some of the surrounding context in the article.
Why does this hit different? (Stackoverflow and Prosus)

Vistimo (the full version at https://www.vistimo.com) does too.

It turns out the project management space is full of neat tools with clever abilities, but it's very hard for a team to switch between those tools. It's expensive and time consuming!

Vistimo Quotes is an attempt to pull just statistical estimation out on its own, so you can use it no matter what you use for your project management.

(A note: this and EBS are pretty different in their actual math -- they just seem similar because the next closest thing is "everyone agrees on a single number per task and we add them up" which is so limiting that just having a statistical model puts EBS, 50/90, and monte-carlo into their own category.)

> Escaping is too easy to ignore

This is why we have editors that do syntax checking as we type. Editing CSV by hand is just not important enough for such editors to be commonplace. CSV files are exported and imported.

And since we have JSON, whose spec is stable, known and at this point consistently implemented, CSV should really just be sun set rather than "fixed".

Also, the simplest escaping format is wrap in quotes and represent quotes by typing quotes twice. That's easy to remember and relatively hard to screw up even when editing by hand.

Maybe you need to read that a little slower. You were clearly not correct.
"Diversity and Inclusion", and woke ideology writ-large has turned into a complete farce. I have zero respect for these people because their concern is a facade - it exists only to exert power over people that you disagree with.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that the only value that the creators had was making a nice UI. I truly meant it as a compliment. There is hard work involved in creating a product out of an idea. Seems like this will be a very useful product. Congrats to all of the people who have worked on it.
Wow, guess it's a good thing our courts love corrupt cops more than they hate everyone else?

What this guy did is one of the very few things that someone should actually get hit with the CFAA for. He abused access to police databases as a cop but he's off the hook because even though he was explicitly not allowed to do so, he was able to (as in, the system did not intend to prevent it). I guess if that's what it takes to narrow this bad law, fine!
Arguably, they're more about the "typically not harmful" things than about the severe cases.

The severe cases are bad, but they're also obvious. Your ordinary management should be able to handle that. They often don't, and it helps to have a special level of appeal when the chain of management fails, but that's not the real reason for the job.

The real reason is that those "typically not harmful" cases are cumulatively harmful. They're bricks in the briefcase of every employee being discriminated against. They get all of the usual problems of life, plus a new set aimed at them. So they don't perform quite as well, and aren't the best when promotion time comes around. Then you end up with a whole chain of command who thinks that those "typically not harmful" cases aren't the reason everybody in authority looks like them -- and then do nothing about it.

Dealing with the explicit cases is easier, even though companies often fail at that, too. If they can't handle the easy cases, there's nobody looking out for the hard ones. And worse, people often say, "Look, we fired the blatantly racist guy, why are you still complaining that every single manager is white? It's just a coincidence, OK?"
I reject this way of thinking because it groups second generation Irish immigrants with those who inherited wealth from the days of slavery.

I get that you're trying to be charitable but there really isn't a valid defence for an ideology that tries to slap a label onto heterogeneous groups of people with nothing in common beyond their skin tone. It is a racist way of thinking and should be called out as such.
The original statement "It is true that white people kill black people with impunity in the US" is problematic without contextualizing it.

If he means in a general sense (which he most likely didn't) then its obviously a false statement. If I as a white man in the US murdered a person of color, most likely I would be arrested and convicted.

If he means in the literal sense that in a country of 350 million people that its possible for a white person to kill a black person and get away with it, well then you could probably say that about any demographic vs any other demographic because its impossible to make sure that never ever happens in a population that size.

What I suspect he really meant is that there's a problem with American police getting away with it when they are involved in unjustified killings of black people. But he chose to word it in an exaggerated and inflammatory way for emphasis. Then you also have to take into account that we were presented with that one sentence out of a larger blog post so perhaps he added the context that would have made that sentence make sense.
You can obviously see the difference between "democrat party", a derisive epithet used by conservatives and "Democratic Party". You even used it correctly in this post, albeit in quotes.

I think of NFTs as analogous to signed copies of a limited run of prints of an original work. And they have some interesting financial characteristics.
1. Their value can be a proxy to the underlying art
2. The NFT contract can give the artist some of the appreciation upside of the NFT
My opinion is that NFTs will come to be part of many artists toolkit.
NFTs are a better signaling device because although you cannot hang it on your wall, you change make it your avatar.

Sure, if you only look at the first 5 years after the white paper. Post-1945, the Palmach were actively bombing police stations & bridges, I know this for a fact, my friend/acquaintance was literally there doing this, he disliked Etzel/Irgun, but they were both fighting the British at that point.
If Getty signs an asset saying chime bought it at 'getty.com', that's proof enough. If I buy it at totally-legit-stock-photos.example.com, then it's on me to resolve the matter with Getty when they say my NFT is invalid. Getty's crawlers can still go around the web looking for stolen images. But if the images have a signature from a different vendor, then instead of just going after the gullible users, they can go after the signers. And if the images do not have any signatures, they keep doing what they've been doing already.

Copyright is big business and big business is copyright. Disney could absolutely start signing all of their media with NFT and every license holder would have X years to implement it properly. After that they can automate takedown notices for any commercial site/platform that uses their non-NFT'd images. Right now they need to manually verify if the Hulk coffee mug on Overstock.com is using licensed images or not.
Worth noting that human sound perception is logarithmic, not linear. A 90% reduction in sound is -20dB, which is significant. But in human perception terms, that’s only about a fifth of the range of the typical soundscape which ranges from the 20dB of a quiet room to the 120dB of an ambulance siren.
> A copy of a painting can be a work of art, but it is different. It did not sit at the artists' atelier, it hasn't traveled through different places to finally hang at the buyer's living room.

Yes, and a copy of a digital work still has some value, but there's only one NFT that the artist issued to represent ownership of the digital work. These are precisely identical stories. Even if you could create a physical copy of a physical painting with arbitrarily high fidelity (perhaps at the atomic level), there would still only be one painting that sat in the artist's studio, and I suspect the art world would still only value that one as the original.

In other words, the fidelity with which one can create copies of an original work is irrelevant to the determination and valuation of originality.

I'm surprised they're not taking the McDonalds approach and buying the land surrounding the charging stations, while only providing the basic infrastructure themselves like power, plumbing, and possibly a basic brick-and-mortar building that can be leased out.

If everything goes according to their plan, these supercharger stations and the surrounding areas will be potential consumer hubs since they provide a steady supply of a temporarily captive consumer base. If you need to spend an hour charging your car, you may as well get some lunch and do some grocery shopping or whatever.
Good question! Right now we are fortunate to have some AWS credits to subsidize some voice costs :P. At the moment our focus is on usage, but our goal is to have a freemium model based on the size of the space, premium assets, etc.
There are lots of different "infinities" floating around in mathematics, and that probably doesn't help the matter.

The extended reals or extended complex plane do behave as you describe (and infinite cardinalities have the same property), but infinitesimal treatments of calculus do not. You're instead working in an ordered field that contains the reals and some element greater than all reals.

Supposing such a thing can exist (they can exist in ZFC), the fact that you're working in an ordered field gives you a lot of infinitesimals and infinities (and also a lot of numbers "between" the ordinary reals).

While I agree with what you've written, this sentence, "This is not so unlike how NFTs work", is the critical point that remains to be seen. My opinion is that it's unlike NFTs enough in the average human mind that the analogy falls over.

Yes, pretty much all of the value in expensive works of art is in the provenance of the artwork, not the actual image. But the fact that that provenance is embodied in a non-copyable physical piece of art, versus a ledger in the literal ether that is just a piece of text that says "Yep, this person bought it", is a critical difference that I think is unbridgeable.
