My first undergrad degree was in another engineering major that wasn't CS -- you can guess which from my name. Wall Street was heavily recruiting from my major, despite us being taught absolutely nothing about finance or even business and only having the basics of CS teaching. The reason they were doing this is because we were smart and knew how to decompose really hard problems. We basically knew nothing about financial tech, but they wanted us because if you can do X, then you can probably do Y.

Even in my other engineering major, the complaints were the same. Everybody complained that You Aint Gonna Need It (YAGNI) for many classes and that _real_ industry wouldn't use it. However, if you can learn and use these really hard concepts, you can probably learn and use these _other_ really hard concepts in industry.

> Nope. He's not getting reinstated in August, just like the results weren't overturned in January, and just like he wasn't inaugurated in March.

Exactly. It seems the cry babies on the right have finally admitted defeat after throwing a massive tantrum and vandalising the Capitol.

On the other hand, I also do remember the cry babies on the left threw a massive tantrum on the streets and vandalised many businesses when the results of the 2016 election were contested for years when Trump won and even after.

> If anything happens, it will be Harris who becomes president.

Yeah, And this time the Democrats, Big Tech and the media WILL definitely do everything they can to make sure that happens.

Is this really a surprise to anybody? UFO means "unidentified flying object", not "alien".
No, the a argument in favour of the natural origin of SARS-COV-2 is that it's a novel virus. There are a lot more unknown viruses outside in nature than there are people working on making new ones.

Also, the Wuhan Institute of Virology is not exactly "nearby" the seafood market. It's 25 km away, well across the city and on its outskirts.
It's a great concept in theory, but in practice...find me the email list for Google Photos. Or Google Keep. These are two Google products that I use daily (including paying for one!)
Under Van Buren, merely saying in the ToS that [X] part of website is restricted access would not be enough to make it a crime under the CFAA.

In the Van Buren case, SCOTUS was very concerned with the potential for innocent actors to unwittingly run afoul of the CFAA. The website would likely have to take further steps to make the restrictions on access known to the user (such as a warning when trying to access [X], and probably also take actual steps to limit access to [X], such that one would only be able to access [X] deliberately knowing that they don't have authorized access to it.
Exactly this. It's a cultural thing, much like how you can be an American or a German or an African. There's no single ethnicity for any of those, but they're all cultural identities based on birth or citizenship.
Everyone tries to victimize each other because everyone latently hates big companies and technology, and political censorship is a good way to incense people who otherwise lack the ability to rationalize their hatred for technology, and desperately need ammo to fire at big corporations.

In that sense, it's a very effective double-whammy that pretty much any social-media user has fallen victim to at some point. While Facebook and Twitter certainly aren't benevolent, I completely understand how their unpreparedness to deal with political figures would be misconstrued as censorship or suppression.
Why does it feel like this report has been teased for weeks, almost akin to the release of a new blockbuster movie or similar cultural product?
Federal income taxes

Social Security taxes

It's pretty easy to get to 50 or 60%, depending on how much you make and what state you live in.

> Tax us less, far less. Here’s something to consider - today I pay >60% of my income to taxes; historically (pre-1920) if 20% of a farmers income was taxed that would be very high.

Consider that a farmer in the 1920s just might be in a wildly different tax bracket than you are.
> A skeuomorph is when you try to make a UI look like a physical object

Agreed, and the linked article specifically themes their tabs to look like a file folder, with a reminiscent color and rounded corners.

The very concept of a tab that contains related information in it is a replication of the physical tabbed file folder.

It's pretty much this: https://imgur.com/a/u2WgESW

And that is largely a hold over from the concept of a physical desktop in an office.
See: https://onezero.medium.com/the-document-metaphor-desktop-gui...

It'd be nice for some new concepts to be introduced and refined.

They sure are easy to set up and use though.

I mean the corporations that already sell software licenses to factories have AR offerings that integrate with their systems.

Convincing smaller shops to convert from a clipboard mounted to the machine to an app is probably more realistic than a start-up getting conquest sales from these companies.

Just to respond seriously for a second: it's good to remind ourselves that ML isn't magic. If it knew your weight and age it would use those for predicting life expectancy instead. Same for smoking history, sleep habits, etc. But all it has access to is the accelerometer, and a weak correlation is better than nothing, so that's what it uses.
Anyone know how to get my title bar and window border colors back? The "system" theme doesn't seem to honor my system's setting, despite the name. I had a nice bright red title bar and window border on my focused window before yesterday. Now everything's a drab gray, with no way to know which window has focus. Small rant: I try to make FF my daily driver each time a new update is released, but each update brings some new boneheaded thing to make me more and more hopeless that will ever happen.

You have way more disposable income than a 1920's farmer. But I do agree that anything north of 49% is completely outrageous.
There's a precedent for voluntary contributions towards government. Perhaps if government institutions inspired trust and confidence, while efficiently delivering valuable services, people would be more inclined to donate. As it stands, there's nothing stopping you from donating.

As to this being a largely libertarian website, I'm not sure I would accept that generalization. There's a fair amount of support for state programs here.

>. One was the method relied on by the old city-state of Hamburg and other communities—voluntary gifts to the government. President William F. Warren of Boston University, in his essay, “Tax Exemption the Road to Tax Abolition,” described his experience in one of these communities:

>For five years it was the good fortune of the present writer to be domiciled in one of these communities. Incredible as it may seem to believers in the necessity of a legal enforcement of taxes by pains and penalties, he was for that period ... his own assessor and his own tax-gatherer. In common with the other citizens, he was invited, without sworn statement or declaration, to make such contribution to the public charges as seemed to himself just and equal. That sum, uncounted by any official, unknown to any but himself, he was asked to drop with his own hand into a strong public chest; on doing which his name was checked off the list of contributors. ... Every citizen felt a noble pride in such immunity from prying assessors and rude constables. Every annual call of the authorities on that community was honored to the full.

Just because we know about a problem for decades doesn't mean it goes away automatically.

From reading this list, I can deduce OP just made up most of them, because over half of them contains details that are total BS.

Also I happen to think we'd be a better society if we all knew everything about each other. Instead of discouraging companies from analyzing us, encourage them to publish everything all the time. Let governments join in on the fun. Everyone should be tracking an analyzing everyone else.

Solves the issue with companies manipulating us to sell our data, because if they publish it they can't sell it. Solves the ransomware problem as well. Publish everything, no privacy for anyone. You can't blackmail someone for data everyone has.

I wanna know what you think right now. I'm not asking you to tell me, I'll scan your brain instead. And I'll know what your dream last night was. And you'll know the same for me as well.

Because the UFO fanatics have been hyping it as it might have lent them some legitimacy.
Right, in a way I think this opening tweet just undercuts the entire argument. It's a simplistic description of a problem, which the body of the article returns with a simplistic sort of solution.

The truth is that I want paste to match formatting sometimes, and putting that many emphatic "ever"s in the tweet reads like an act of denial towards how tricky design can be.

In the case of pasting, we've solved he problem with a pair of keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+v to match formatting, ctrl+shift+v to strip formatting. Effectively, this makes matching format the convention. I actually think matching is probably more common.

Now keyboard shortcuts are not sexy design. They aren't user friendly and are described derisively as "power user" features. But what they are is probably the optional solution to a design problem, and sometimes that's not exciting.
Those are separate things and they're treated differently. The illegal act is obstruction of justice, not the speech itself, which is why criminal OoJ penalties don't run afoul of the first amendment.

If you have insider information on an ongoing investigation and you tell it to your buddy at the bar who doesn't care one bit about it and immediately forgets, that's not obstruction of justice because the speech itself isn't the criminal act. If you tell that same information to the suspects though, then that's obstruction of justice.

With classified (natsec) information, on the other hand, telling it to anyone who you're not absolutely certain has clearance to see it is a violation and could land you in jail for years if you get a bloodthirsty DA. (again, IANAL)
But the internet you use. The roads you use. The courts you rely on for enforcing contracts the GPS network that makes location based business models even possible come from those grants and basic research.

If we ever have self driving cars it will be because DARPA -a government agency— hosted competitions in the desert with million dollar cash prizes just for college students to compete to have fun building self driving humvees; at the time no one thought it would be commercially viable.

I've heard a lot of credulous people describing these reports as proof of aliens. To me the idea that aliens exist is unsurprising, but aliens being here would imply FTL is possible, and that would be a huge discovery!

A lot of people are talking about social structures and conflicts in Africa, I think. The time where it's inappropriate is when used as a deflection from discussing one's own current situation and its historical roots. That's disingenuous and also frustrating.

Just an internet stranger's opinion, but I also think it might be worth engaging with some of these ideas a little more before writing them off, since it sounds like you share a position I once had - annoyed by 'problematic' stuff everywhere, for instance - and furthermore share an apparent misunderstanding of postmodernism with the Jordan Peterson crowd. But you can take a critical eye to the power structures and ways of thinking of the past, and their implications for our social structures today, without screeching or hysteria. At least be open to it :)
That's the strict definition, but to most people "UFOs" are still associated with "aliens".
Did anyone seriously expect the report to say that those things are "aliens"?

The fact that it says that (at least some) encounters did actually occur and that they cannot be explained is already some news.

USF is in Tampa, not Miami. The major Universities in Miami are FIU and U of Miami, but the latter is in Coral Gables, and is a lot like some other college towns like Cambridge, Berkeley, or Evanston.
Remember, when software UI was customizable? Developers somehow managed to build amazing customization options while adhering to OS design and QA had it all tested without any fancy "automated testing tools" we have today.

Firefox needs to figure out how to expose UI customization to all users, not only those who are comfortable enabling user styles and hacking CSS. Most UI styles probably are using CSS variables, so how about starting to expose them in some easy to use interface, with simple textbox or spinner? Of course, they should plop a huge banner, that customizations are not supported, but in the end this should help users to quickly fix their personal annoyances. It is impossible to make single UI that will satisfy all users, but such customization tool surely will turn more grumpy users to happy users. Imagine, how disabled person must feel, when they need to go through 10 steps of browser customization just to adjust a single color.

BTW, I practice dual path in my personal life. If I'm doing something risky, I have a backup. For example, when I work under my car, I put the car on two sets of jackstands, even though I use stands that are rated for trucks. I'd never rely on a single rope/piton if rock climbing. I cringe when I see climbers doing that. I carry an extra coat in the car in winter, and water when driving in the desert.
Not that any of this is incorrect, but there are two important bits of context to add here:

-Not all DoD hires are for the purpose of lobbying. A lot of the time it’s just because they already have the TS/SCI clearance which is necessary for working on servers in the government-only datacenters, and hiring people who have it already is a lot easier than getting a new hire and waiting the multiple years to get clearance (seriously: it’s a pain in the ass, especially when you consider that you have to pass drug tests including THC, which is an increasingly rare thing to find among developer-types)
- Amazon’s competition in this space is mainly Microsoft, who does the exact same thing. Indeed, part of the reason Amazon lost the JEDI contract is probably because Microsoft had been playing the ‘hire former Pentagon suits’ game for much longer.
"It isn't working" is also lazy, when you're describing an industry that powers half the economy, and frankly, civilization is trucking along pretty OK with the data industry warts and all.

There are certainly problems, but you haven't put enough thought into what the statement even _means_ (Would this eliminate EMR systems? Bank transfers? Credit scores?) to consider what "burning it down" means, or "it's not working" means.
For some reason all the news reporting I’ve seen about it breathlessly insinuates aliens without actually saying that because they’d be legitimately ridiculed. Alluding to it though brings in more viewers. Kind of disgusting.
I don't get why this is so easily glossed over all the time... yeah, absolutely you should be able to control your data and know how it's being used. You should be able to opt out of unnecessary data collection. But the idea that you're not getting compensated for your data just isn't true - you get some really amazing tools without paying a dime for them.
There are literally millions of people who expected this to be the big reveal about aliens. It's crazy how the US military has been teasing the UFO community during the last few years.
Yeah, it's a bit funny how (Small Regional News Site) thinks they'll be the main targets of GDPR regulators.

This is nonsense.

First, actors are not famous for being famous, they are famous because people recognize them and eventually learn their names.

Second, the name recognition is why they get cast as voices. Their name can then be used to promote the movie and the actors themselves can go out and promote the movie.

I doubt the forefathers would have thought there needed to be a law against me passing on info.
I live in a high-tax area (including local taxes), in a relatively high tax bracket, with few/no special credits or deductions, and I don't pay anything close to 50%.

Unless you own an absolute shitton of property and have an abnormally high property tax liability relative to your income, in which case you have an abnormal financial situation that isn't generalizable to other people.

Maybe this is typical if you're a landlord and your source of income is mostly real property, but that's not a typical situation either.

Also, Congress doesn't have much control over state sales taxes, property taxes, etc.
