A Tale of Two Taiwans – perspectives from an offshore wind engineer
Thanks I'll look them up. I asked because I genuinely want to educate myself on this subject.
No, looks to me like the quote says that Israelis are the warlike ones, not the Jews.

"I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired..." https://archive.ph/BQ5RW (kamau bobb's website)

EDIT: I was lazy and didn't see the second quote lower in the article saying "If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself."

The article mentions the Tinker case, but recently there has been another case argued with the Supreme Court: Mahanoy Area School Districts vs BL: https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/04/justices-ponder-narrow-ru...

This is the infamous "cheerleader" case you may have heard on the news. I'm optimistic that the Court will rule against the school district and guarantee more free speech rights for students; I think it's ridiculous how schools are increasingly intruding more and more into the lives of children.
Twitter keeps saying they’ve “cracked down” on bots and yet the bots are still just as much of a problem as they’ve ever been. I’d been on twitter for over decade — back when you tweeted via SMS — and deleted my account in the run up to the US election because it was impossible to discern real content from the content designed to churn the outrage machine. Whoever uses the term “crack down” to describe Twitter’s periodic deletion of only the most egregious bot accounts deserves an auto-reply meme bot featuring Inigo Montoya.
They are completely different products. Everything searches just file names, while Windows indexer also searches file contents. It is a much more time consuming task.
That's still only a 6.5" woofer, my bookshelf speakers have 6.5" woofers :-)

I consider a 10" woofer to be the smallest size for a speaker to be considered large, and 12" or 15" is preferred.
> Rich people naturally hold more power, proportionally to their wealth.

This ends up being a cop out. Everyone consumes, and rich people consume less than poor people relative to their wealth.

Generally rich people get rich by selling stuff people want.

> Right now we can blame government officials and the rich people who benefited from pollution and paid them.

And we can also blame poor people for putting those rich people in power and consuming their wares.
Universities can now penalize students for what they do in their private lives'? Well that's dystopian. Reading the article, it's pretty clear this can, and will, be used for ideological ends:

"Students whose off-campus behavior has a significant adverse impact on the University community, its members, and/or the pursuit of its mission and educational objectives."

They do specify that violence is one of the two reasons, however in the current ideological climate, violence has been classified in a super broad way that does not match the conventional description of violence. Some institutes have classified some speech acts as violence. Which is alarming.

Also, disrupting the university's "pursuit of its mission" is a very ominous turn of phrase. It's reminiscent of the phrase "anti-revolutionary acts". Imagine being sanctioned for "acts which disrupt the mission of the institution"?

Others have pointed out that I grabbed an old version of the document to quote. Fair, that said however the text when updated includes:

"[that] which causes substantial disruption to the University community or any of its members"

Again, disruption to members can, and has been, classified as "making feel uncomfortable". The language of this, in any revision shown, is dangerous. Someone being upset could easily argue that the "disruption" caused them harm, and prevented them from carrying out the institution's academic goals. Different wording, same impact.

' Updated from initial wording to avoid spreading mistaken information.
Did you try disabling it in shim-signed instead of the BIOS (method 2 on this page [1])? I'd expect that to be more consistent and/or reliable since BIOS quality can vary a lot from vendor to vendor.

You might also try signing the kernel module yourself (the manual method at the bottom of that page)?

My example is not hiding anything beyond the fact that most people are clueless about how big Java ecosystem actually is.

Not everyone is doing Websites or Android apps.

PTC isn't using Hotspot, rather their own JVM implementation.

Just like C++, Java enjoys multiple implementations.

Just like C++, the best ones for embedded deployment with soft real time capabilities, are commercial, directly supported by hardware vendors.

it's less of an explanation and more of a summary in my opinion.
That's not cynical, that's overly hopefully to think the students will defeat this. The most likely scenario: and disciplinary decisions that arise from this will be arbitrary and capricious (like anything school administrations do, from university down to kindergarten), and won't have anything remotely resembling consistent enforcement.
University students are not children which means no one should be monitoring their activity without the normal legal proceedings. I'm also hopeful the supreme court makes the right call but just wanted to make sure we are not confusing uni students with minors.
Genuine question:

Where in the original policy is there any reference to active monitoring? The quoted section of the policies say that the University "may apply the Student Conduct Code" to off-campus behavior.

But I don't see anything in the policy document that discusses any kind of active monitoring or active searching of social media accounts. The word "monitor", for example, doesn't appear in the linked PDF at all.

It seems like they have updated their policy to clarify the language of how off-campus behavior impacts the Student Conduct Code, but I think the headline is extremely misleading, unless I've missed something from the linked policy. Can you clarify what I've missed?
Taking the sibling commentor's analogy to mailto: links further:

Imagine "digital wallet" apps, that would register themselves for the payto: scheme at the OS level — just like web browser apps are registered openers for the http: scheme, or like email client apps are registered openers for the mailto: scheme.

(I mean, you don't actually have to imagine them, they already exist. Apple Wallet is a "digital wallet app" on iOS. Native-app crypto wallets are "digital wallet apps." Paypal's mobile app is a "digital wallet app." None of them register for payto:, but they all could.)

Now imagine that, like web browsers or email clients, every OS default-installed its own minimal first-party wallet app, so that it had something to fire up in response to a click on a payto: link, if you didn't have any other piece of software installed. Think "Outlook Express."

Like with web browsers or email clients, you could install your own wallet apps, and then choose which one to make the default for the payto: scheme.

There could be single-service wallet apps (created by your bank; by Visa/Mastercard/etc.; by Paypal/Venmo/etc.), and multi-service wallet apps (created by bigcorps and ISVs); just like there are single-service email apps (the "native Gmail client" kind of apps), and multi-service email apps.

If you had multiple equal-priority scheme associations for payto:, your OS would pop a menu to ask you which app you want to use to open the link, just like it pops a menu when you go to open a file and there isn't a clear default association.

The apps themselves would be free to ask more questions (or not) upon being intent-opened. If you click a mailto: link, then some email apps, when configured with multiple accounts, ask you which account you want to send the email as; others don't, but instead just let you switch the "From" field between your accounts, and do all the book-keeping to move the draft email between services, etc., in response. Same idea here.

> Flying for example. In Europe, where trains are a viable alternative to shorter-distance flights, still lots of people would not even think about taking the train because...

Because the pollution of flying isn't adequately accounted for and priced as an externality. If we had a proper carbon tax (which I dislike the name, it's actually simply a carbon price) then green transportation would be cheaper than flying (and then all second-order effects would kick in: more incentive to invest in green transportation, more incentive to leave flying, etc).

Removing antibiotics as a cheap default option (as it is in the US) creates an economic incentive to ensure livestock health and welfare. In practice antibiotics are used mostly to compensate for unhealthy conditions and to increase yield (i think only by about %10 for milk, for instance). Keeping livestock on broad spectrum antibiotics continuously for their entire lives is not only medically unnecessary, but deeply irresponsible and a contributor to rising antibiotic resistance.
> You want to draw two disjoint circles and a line connecting their centers.

I wouldn't say two circles connected by a line is very useful in UI to be honest.

Such relationships are more commonly seen in animation software, modeling software, engineering software and games, 2D or 3D, where such relationships are explicitly expressed by scripting or specialized binding systems (like inverse kinematics). The general metaphor for such software is not a tree, not a graph either, but rather a set, upon which set operate a set of systems (like physics and AI etc.).

But all of those things sit, in my mind, distinctly apart from what UI is. And the distinction between UI and just "things on a computer" is that UI is entirely artificial and made for the purpose of conversing with the user, rather that representing or simulating existing phenomena, natural etc. So UI does NOT have to be arbitrary. But it HAS to be easy to comprehend. That is its purpose.

The only place I've seen this used in UI I can recall is Reason (audio software), where you can flip your rack of modules, and connect inputs and outputs with wires. It's quite gimmicky and becomes a mess (just like real cable management does), so I think this also informs us how well arbitrary graphs look on screen. They don't help and become unintelligible at scale.

While a clean hierarchy tends to stay clean, so it's useful in UI where we control our metaphors and optimize them for comprehensibility.

> It can even be worse if those objects are laid atop of others, and things are switching on the Z axis. You’re now breaking the structure or rather changing it constantly. The parent-child relationship often feels forced.

I'm sorry that's a bit abstract, can you provide an example again? You see, a list has a clear enumeration order, you can make the first or last item be "on top". A tree also has a clear traversal.

A graph has no clear traversal order at all, so how would a graph help you at all figuring out z-index for your UI?

If anything, having your UI as a graph would take away the common-sense approach to rendering order which allows you to NOT assign a z-index to literally every element. I've had to deal with such problems, and trust me, you don't want to have that problem. The tree is a friend.

> Or even simpler: you have two objects in different containers, but with the same margin to appear aligned. What you’re trying to express is their alignment and not their relation to their “parent” which might be very well invisible.

A visual example would help. The "parent" exists to provide a transform reference as much as anything else. So it's unclear why you wouldn't use a parent for the purpose it exists, only to eventually do the exact same thing.
While I'm clearly not using my real name here, I'm also not hiding it generally. I'd be hard pressed to advocate for hiding as well. I wouldn't say anything with a pseudonym that I wouldn't say with my real name. inb4 "not everyone has that luxury!" Yes, I understand that already. Everyone has to evaluate their own risks, and decide for themselves; thanks... But that's the point I'm attempting explain. If you wont sign your name to it, why are you willing to say it at all? Where's the line between what you believe, and what you're willing to accept responsibility for believing?
On balance, sure, but there will be a few students who don't follow proper opsec and end up being severely hurt by these policies. The idea that students need to follow opsec to prevent their school from causing immense damage to them is itself an indictment of the present age.
This is an interesting approach to take. I have taken the opposite approach by using my real name in almost all cases, and my name in unique enough that a google search will directly lead to me.

The benefit of using my real name is how what I say ties into other people that know me through other channels. Someone might read a post I made about a multiprocessor Arduino design, and recognize my name as it related to Subaru stuff. These connections, in the real world, are the primary benefit of social media in the first place.

There is a downside.. if I had something negative to say I have to give it some consideration given the easy linking. I'm not sure that is always a bad thing, but it isn't always a good thing either.
Well in the current ideological climate "silence is violence", as they say, damn this 1984ificaton of speech sucks. More specifically I think this is targeted at any views they don't like which really sucks.

Okay, so I need only upgrade for those features? Except wait, you only get 3 projects in the free tier. Three!

I would be more okay calling it a free service if 99% of users wouldn't need the paid tiers. But that tier is definitely just a trial.
I'm certain the University can rely on activist students to report any problematic statements to the proper authorities. If that sounds improbable, there are already organizations in many universities called "Bias Education Response Teams".
It's not hard, it's just a lot of different stakeholders that need to be coordinated for it to work. And it took a long time for said products to get organised, meanwhile companies still needed convenient ways of allowing customers to contact them....hence the contact forms.

It will be the same problem here. It's safer not to use a payto scheme if it is the difference between a future customer being unable to buy your services because they haven't yet got the latest associations installed.
I certainly think that's one reason. There are way to many stupid posts from Twitter, and Facebook, which are blown completely out of proportion and taken to level of conflict which wouldn't have happened previously.

Sure there are absolutely some issues from social media that are worth highlighting in the news media, but all shit storms and online controversies aren't created equally. To often one or two posts are taken out of context, especially on Twitter where people try to cram their message into as few words as possible. That is then elevated to "This person is horrible" or "All people in this group are bad".

The reality is that some people are just assholes, and while annoying and terrible, it's simply not worth writing about.
Will be interesting to see the outcome.

Not sure I'm a fan of active monitoring.

At the same time I have little sympathy for "I made a public post on the internet under my own name for all to see, and other people saw it!" type situations.

Isn't this just the other side of bowing to pressure when a student says something controversial on social media (or said it long before being admitted)?

For serial connectivity, I always just use a terminal server (like from Perle). They're just boxes that allow you to make serial console connections via ssh/telnet over a TCP port (or if you must through a virtual COM port driver). These are used widely in datacenters to connect to switches which have serial console ports for configuration.

They're not unreasonable in cost (start at like $100 for 2 ports), tons of features, and not flaky like the USB-rs232 adapters. Not so sure about latency, but throughput is fine.

>How many of these people make comments about Hamas' rocket launches targeting civilians in Israel, or their use of Palestinian civilians as forced human shields?

Hard to say. I know among the people I know personally quite a few of them. I myself above said there's plenty of blame to go around on each side for the violence in that region.

Some of the people that have commented on Israel might have some reasonable comments about Palestine and Hamas' responsibilities as well. Often we are only given a brief snippet of what people say on the news so as far as politicians it would require a lot of research.

I'd bet that some of the people criticizing Israel are doing so due to antisemitism but there are likely many people that aren't. It shouldn't be a surprise that lots of people are generally anti-war and anti-human suffering in general.

My issue is that people are so quick to claim antisemitism at the slightest criticism that its more reasonable to assume that the people who do so are hysterically pro-Israel than to assume the person that was being critical is an antisemite.

Another thing to consider is that even if a person decides that Israel is entirely at fault, you and I might disagree with them, but that opinion could easily have nothing to do with Judaism.
That's unbelievable, and yet, entirely believable. Wow. I'm sorry he was a part of that, and I'm glad he got out. It's such a nasty, awful industry. I've done some report generation stuff for banks (way before they called it data science) and it was strange being around people who were so highly strung and odd. I mean, there's parts of their personalities that just gave off "I could snap any moment" vibes.

Anyhow. Yeah. Finance sucks. They ought to make it illegal to work more than 40hrs in that industry, right away.

Not really. Jet fuel prices peaked in 2008, without adjusting for inflation. [0] So fuel consumption has been a lot less important over the past few years. It is also questionable whether carbon taxes will be placed on jet fuel in many cases. At least in Canada it tends to be exempt.
