> Israel themselves have fostered the narrative that Israel represents the Jewish people by constantly conflating an attack on Israel as an attack on the Jewish people.

Israel’s attempts to equate itself and its current policies with the Jewish race and identity are definitely a reason (an additional reason, on top of many others) to be disgusted at the governing regime of the State of Israel and its government, but they aren't an excuse, even a little bit, for the bigotry against Jews qua Jews for Israeli policy (indeed, that is rewarding the violent bigotry of the Israeli regime, which actively seeks the protection of whataboutism that being able to paint opposition to its apartheid and lebensraum policies as anti-Semitic provides.)

The Israeli government, Israeli Jews, Israelis, and Jews are different groups, and the actions of the first don’t justify hatred of any of the latter groups, all of which include fierce opponents of pretty much any action you might blame thw first for.
Really interesting, I wonder if it’s irritating me as well. What materials did you use with V60 so I can experiment?

From what I read on the subject, this _was_ the main way of dealing with calculus, but it was not rigorous. The first rigorous definition of a limit was given using the epsilon-delta approach, by Weierstrass, with of course many many contributions by his predecessors.

Everybody switched during the 19th century, because epsilon-delta was in fact the only rigorous method.

Abraham Robinson gave a rigorous foundation for infinitesimals only in 1960.

Indian Covid variant now UK dominant strain after another 5,400 cases in a week
One way to improve it might be to add a new JavaScript function into HTML which causes all further network access made by the current document to be blocked; the user who downloads the file can insert that command at the beginning of the file if they want to disable network access. (Since it is called before the rest of the document can change its definition, it will be effective.) (It is one of the many things which will need to be fixed in a newer web browser program, I think.)
I may have an extremely pessimistic view of things, but things aren't going to change until the incentives have changed.

This is nothing new, or surprising if you look at human nature. The big issue with security these days is that bad behaviors are not just common practice, in many cases they are incentivized. Many companies have pushed the risk into cyber security insurance policies, or if they haven't they can create massive paper "losses" when a cyber incident happens. Prior to ransomware, if companies were smart, they can actually make money off a cyber incident, versus spending money to prevent an incident.

I would say the tipping point for many executives was in that realizing that the Equifax breach (one of the biggest in history up to that time) had literally zero impact to their businesses long term. The company was focused on monitoring credit and many would have assumed the company would have a responsibility to secure its data.

Unfortunately this was a light bulb moment for many execs and the light bulb wasn't a good one for their customers or society at large. They basically found out that data breaches don't really matter and if you weather the storm there is very little impact to your business. Yes your customers lose their data, but if you need to minimize overhead costs, why spend a ton of money on a security program that doesn't have a guarantee in stopping it anyway.

Fast forward to 2021, with crypto being so ubiquitous and realizing that companies have largely forgot or shut down their Business Continuity Planning (BCP) programs they stood up after 9/11, bad actors are having a field day. Actors were very active stealing DBs and trying to extort people, but they largely found that people just either didn't believe them or didn't care.

With ransomware, they basically prevent the business from doing anything and that is something that is just not something that can be ignored like data theft/extortion attempts. If someone steals your customer ACH information from your accounting database, no big deal, but if you can't accept payments from your customers... They are literally not making money.

I have worked in information security for ~20 years and I don't believe that there will be any improvements until there are major changes to the incentives that customers have to protect their customer information/data. If anything the ransomware threat is one of the few things actually causing many companies to invest in their security programs.

One lesson we learned is that one of our kids has attention-deficit problems. They were not a concern at all in the schools because the classroom was managed in a way that worked for him. But at home during the pandemic, it was a disaster. It took us most of the year to figure out what was wrong, get plans in place, work with the remote teachers, and get even a semblance of a good education going.

I'm not against homeschooling - I love it in theory. But people need to be prepared to adapt to the childrens' needs. What works for one person will not work for others, and you should know what you are getting into.
In the end, a good engineer rarely becomes a professor. This is both because the industry pays better, and the universities don’t value engineering expertise. The best SE courses in my university were offered by “guest” teachers from big software companies. (Which were very rare.)
That's clearly not the motivation behind it otherwise age and political diversity would be similarly prioritized.
The lifecycle of software is a lot longer than five years and most people stewarding languages are friendlier to that notion. ANSI C & C99 still have the best support to this day.

Just because Python core can say that they support for five years and act like they're being generous when they do so does not make them less like asshats. Most software is not a living, breathing thing.

Remember that Apple's end goal is to ultimately reroute users through their own devices and experiences, where they can ultimately take a cut of the profits. Nobody is truly benevolent to the user in this case, it's just a matter of Apple's dystopian capitalist future versus Google's dystopian capitalist future. The tiebreaker for me is which company is willing to be more open, and accept users who want to extend their products. At the end of the day, that's Google, Microsoft and (to a lesser degree) Amazon, who have at least put in the effort of giving developers documentation and API access.

I can't support Apple's crusade to change ads if they just want to take me out of one Matrix battery pod and into another, Space Grey one.

Yes! It's wild!

That's sorta what might be happening in the brain. I do brain stimulation experiments where we generate electric fields in the brain by passing currents across the scalp: 0.5 V/m or so (which you get by putting 1-2 mA across the scalp) is enough to do some really wild things to neurons, even in a big primate head. This is cool, and potentially useful for various kinds of rehab/neuroprosthetics/etc.

The crazier thing is that the neurons themselves generate much stronger electric fields themselves (~10x stronger, in some parts of the brain). Whether those fields are actively used or merely "tolerated" is hard to say but....woah.

Guix and Nix don’t actually solve constraint problems, though. By design, they omit the dependency resolution that other package managers do, and humans manage the dependencies. If you want to change versions, you need to do some hacking to update things and propagate requirements through the package graph.

You could think of Spack (github.com/spack/spack) as a nix/guix-like model, but with a solver. Spack uses ASP (which is prolog-like but reduces to SAT with optimization) but packages are written in an embedded python DSL.

This is a surprising anecdote to hear. Most public schooling I've heard of, certainly my own experience, was that classrooms are miserable for kids who are attention deficit.
A racial construct has been used to shape every facet of our society and we can't make right those wrongs with out maintaining an awareness and understanding of that construct. We can't undo the historical (and current) harms of racism with out continuing to see race.

This is why the colorblind approach to solving racial issues failed. All it did was make us blind to the continuing harms of racism and there for unable to change those systems and solve those problems.

I have a good friend that is a High School Vice Principal and she more or less said the same thing. The top 20% handled it well with only a handful having issues (Any issues got worked out), the middle 60% was hit or miss with some students improving and some doing worse (The school had to be flexible but firm in its expectations). However, what she said about the bottom 20% was pretty shocking. A lot of them would just disappear unless the school staff was chasing them down 5 days a week. Many of the bottom 20% just disappeared and no one at the school knows where they are. The school calls, texts and emails (If they have email) but they never hear from anyone.
It made her realize that High School is just glorified babysitters for a lot of kids. Just a place to warehouse 30% - 40% teenagers until they are 18 with the hope that the school can get the basics into their heads before they are unleashed into the world.
Obvious fad.
I think there is some leeway in the sense that

"If you're going to work with other people, some of them will probably at some time possibly, or you might even know about, something bad they said that might apply to you."

At that point the question is how that gets worked out. If the other person has since apologized, and it was a long time ago, then I don't think it's too much to ask that other folks maintain a professional relationship / work with such people.

You have to remember that Ring has outdoor battery-operated stickup cams. When you compare this with what else is available on the market, where often times you have to run a hard wire and have a proprietary NVR then Ring is a great option. Some devices like Swann will go on sale that are wireless or PoE and allow you to use open source applications, but running a wire through the wall in my apartment was a non-starter... the convenience/price of alternatives to Ring isn't that great.
"Diverse teams" does not mean having a proper ratio of white, Hispanic, male, female, straight, gay or ginger. It means having people who have complimentary skills for a task and everyone got to that point differently. A legal team made up of one person from Harvard, one from UCLA, one from Princeton and one from a no name school is a type of "diverse". It's even more if one person was an engineer first, one was JAG, another was an accountant or some other profession before getting into law. A legal team where everyone is from Harvard and that's all they know since they've done nothing else with their lives, but check off different minority boxes, and have a token redheaded stepchild ginger, is not diverse. It's pandering due to both being lazy and being useless.

Someone that diversifies teams actually has to know the team well, what they do, and identity their strengths and weaknesses. Then, they need to figure out what kind of person can bring the neccessary perspective or skillset to round out the team... but that takes work. It's easier to just say, "You dont have a ginger on your team, here you go. Diversity achieved!" This is why people hate "diversity heads". They're glorified checklists.
Is there a connectome data set as well? I'm interested to see how small that can get.
You didn't even have to utter anything. During McCarthyism (aka the second red scare), false allegations of communist sympathies was an easy way to eliminate competition for particularly immoral opportunists, especially in entertainment.

None of those excerpts are concerning on a personal blog. I assume his removal is based on something more substantive.

Maybe you're imagining the reaction if "black" and "white" were reversed in the writing. It would be very different because it's very different to be black rather than white in America.

>White people kill Black people with impunity

>Hey lets take a look at why people may be feeling in some manner

>Perhaps it's time to focus our inquiry on white people who may have complex emotions regarding their changing position in society

All of these are painting white people with broad strokes. More importantly if you replaced "white" with any other minority it would be socially unacceptable. There's also a problem with the framing of the argument here - any criticism is premptively dismissed with accusations of "complex emotions" which is conflated with "white fragility" and eventually racism. The CRT inspired framing is basically whites as a demographic are wrong, must step back and allow us to force them to collectively atone for the sins of past whites, and anyone who criticisms this forced transfer of power is a racist. The grand irony here is that the entire premise is fundamentally racist and falsely justifies increasingly socially acceptable anti-white sentiment.

Either racism is socially acceptable, or it isn't. Normalizing this talk about problematic whiteness is only opening a can of worms, regressing progress toward race blindness, and the backlash will be severe. It's exactly the sort of perceived disenfranchisement that CRT accuses whites of doing, except it's being done intentionally and subversively here - hidden via intellectually dishonest rhetorical technique.
One has to note that he also made homophobic comments (available at https://archive.is/dp0n7):

If I were to pretend to be gay, that isn’t something that I can just wash off and tell those who know me and saw me, that I was just pretending, it was just an experiment. Sure you’re not a homosexual. Having had that thought, I realized that within my inner emotional core, not only do I not agree with homosexuality, I still despise it in a way that I would not want there to be any connection between my personal character and it.

Given that such comments resurfaced during the Pride Month, I'm surprised he hasn't been fired.

Original post, please don't read: Weird - I've been angry before, but it never made me racist.

Updated post after getting dang-slapped: Is being angry an acceptable justification or mitigating factor for racism? Does anyone care, or should anyone care, whether a white person may just be angry when they are racist against a black person?
Check the existence theorem on page 23 (I'm looking at the paper edition): "Let R be the ordered field of real numbers. There is an ordered field extension R* of R and a mapping * from real functions to hyperreal functions (i.e., functions on R*) such that Axioms A - D hold." Note that he just starts with the reals. The actual definition of R* is in the middle of the proof:

R* = {tau[epsilon] : tau(x) is an element of T(M)}

Note that the proof uses Zorn's lemma, so it's definitely not "constructive" in the strict sense (in case that's what you meant).
If you do business and give data to a company, whether through an app or some offline interaction, then they know who you are and can sync that data with Facebook or other ad companies as long as it follows regulations.

This change only stops easy syncing of a profile based on a stable device-level identifier, often used in (semi-)anonymous situations (like app install ads). It doesn't mean companies can't share data ever again.
