A wikipedia article with no context, really interesting
Indeed! One can think of time series data as consecutive events happening such as logs, where the series is going to give the historical evolution over time.
One of my favorite memes (in the sense of memetics) is the meme "conspiracy theorist". This phrase was weaponized by the CIA as a memetic self-defense mechanism. (Their own documents admit this!) But if you tell someone this, the meme itself is triggered in their mind, and their instinct is to not believe you, because you sound like a conspiracy theorist.
At the end of the day, it's always "for profit". Either it's the doctors getting paid by the state getting paid by citizens, or the hospital getting paid by the state getting paid by citizens, or the hospitals getting paid by the insurers getting paid by citizens, or very often a combination of the 3.

The issue in the US is the setup, not the fundamental principal
Yes, but "this" doesn't imply timing either way.

So if on Saturday you said "our dinner reservations are next Friday, not this Friday", that could mean

— "we didn't forgot to go yesterday, we have dinner in 6 days time" (where 'this Friday' is 'Friday of this week') or could mean

— "we're not going to dinner in 6 days time, we're going to dinner in 13 days time" (where 'this Friday' is 'the Friday in this rolling block of 7 days' and 'next Friday' is the one after that).

Sounds very contrived, but people do use it in both ways and neither really has a dominance unfortunately.

But any program that takes input is potentially vulnerable to this kind of attack. I honestly don't get the point.

Also, one solution seems simple: run the software inside a virtual machine.

To clarify, I didn't intend to criticize notepad++. I attribute this issue to imperfections in my eyes, and I have it on all screens and "dark mode" implementations.

I just brought it up because I feel too many people default to "dark mode better" without verifying that it is actually better for them. 50% of the population has some level of astigmatism and is probably better served by light mode.
I’d switch to dart-sass but I also know not to touch Rails’ default webpacker config. I know not to put my fingers in the sharp internals of the webpack configuration.
And you're always "in sight" of a Friday, so "this Friday" could always be in play :)
> You can acknowledge that they are real and affect you personally, but keep your identity and opinions separate from that

I think this is a good way to deal with the issue; they shouldn't be ignored. However it's challenging as you mentioned there are differences. It is not even feasible to merely ignore them if they happen to you and that's exactly my point here. You cannot presumably ignore them and "keep it small" as easily as the author suggests.
that article is SEVERELY biased to the right.

> Or to take an up-to-the-minute issue, the LGBT adoption article includes several talking points in favor of LGBT adoption rights, but omits any arguments against.

What if we replace LGBT "rights" with Jewish Rights during the Holocaust.

It'd go something like: just because "liberals" think Jews deserve to live, and we should all have equal rights, that maybe we should also have a fair "view" or balanced "insight" into Hitler's side of the argument, so people can choose for themselves whether they want to be racist or genocidal or not. Tolerance isn't for everyone, we should be tolerant of those not tolerant of anybody who isn't white, no? SMH.

It's an encyclopedia, facts should matter, if you're peeved that liberal facts are often more true or accurate than those based on crapola like the bible or oil-industry-endorsed climate change studies, or Presidential decrees that Bleach cures Covid-19, then honestly you should probably just stick to your facebook echo chambers, and please stay away from public platforms and politics in general.

I saw a meme once about the right trolling itself where they basically said -- GUYS stop showing statistics and studies they're all against us. Yes, they are, not because they're fabricated but because the conservative worldview is extremely warped and often just insane.

I mean 86% of flat-earthers are conservative. The majority of people who believe in bigfoot, also conservative. Only 32% of conservatives believe in evolution and there's probably a HUGE percent that believe the world was created 8k years ago by God (factually impossible).

Sure, Wikipedia should strive for FACTUAL neutrality, but not when facts are from a dogmatic source like the bible, it could still show those "facts" as it were as an "opinion" by Christian Seminologists, for example, however the majority of historians and archaelogists find flaws see: <insert page> etc...

Most articles I've ever read have been pretty darn good, I haven't seen much in way of not-neutral, but then I think neutrality doesn't mean allowing bigots free reign either.
Downvoters: OK, I'll tell you exactly why.

Historical price action of ETH suggests that it can reach the levels of >$4000 which is the all time high prices just like it did with its previous ATH of >$1000 prices in 2017. The same can be also said for Cardano (ADA).

It is clear that all other cryptos have reached or rose past their ATH prices of 2017 and most of them have maintained this price for months. But to get in now would not be wise to as you can see that from the ATH prices, which is why I warned to avoid jumping in at >$60K for BTC [0]. Now it has lost nearly half its value and has gone back to the prices since late January.

I expect another further pull back soon and we will be in the same cycle of people yelling 'cryptocurrency is dead xyz' and later in the months or years to come having repeated grumbling about how they missed out on the lows like they did in March 2020 and are celebrating that they have FOMO'd into February 2021's crypto euphoria.

Accumulation in the lows when the hype is over and taking profits in times of euphoria is the idea here.

As for stock (which is something completely different) to get into, probably $COIN or $ABNB.

> Equipment manufacturers collect lots and lots of data about soil, weather, yields, and other factors, which they can then share with or sell to “affiliates and suppliers.”

So a company selling seeds (with a no-reselling clause in their contracts) could buy that information, make a good guess at a farmer's profit margin, and individually adjust their pricing to the maximum that each farmer would be willing to pay.

Yet another way in which big players can abuse information asymmetry.

Griftlands is also great for a more story-driven / impactful decisions deckbuilder. Sort of STS wrapped in a well made RPG.

Similar game mechanics as you laid out for Monster Train/STS but with the "twist" that there are two types of decks that you build each run, one for negotiation and one for combat.

Many encounters can be approached either way, and your ongoing relationships with the other characters give you buffs/debuffs and shape the story.
So many conspiracy theories fall apart when you give it the smallest thought

Why not just start a rumour claiming the price is increasing due to huge demand?

If the attack is to e.g. get the software to report a different gene sequence to the real one, this isn't going to help you. For example you might encode such an attack to mask the gene sequence of a viral weapon.
The article or discussion in comments isn't about you. It is about human experience. The given advice is in good faith, as far as I can read into it. It is up to you to decide its worth. I don't think _your_ identity is under scrutiny.

The core of advice is to keep the identity _small_. That way I can pick my battles. The more labels I put on myself the more I will alienate other people. Each of those labels also means I'm not honest with myself. Label is just a single word for describing complex world views, preferences and emotions. If I attach this label to my personality, then over time I will also change myself to better fit it. It can also be source of frustration when I don't meet expectations that are set by any given label. For example, before I considered myself a bookworm and it was painful to discard this label from my identity as I found less and less time for reading.

Labels are still useful. They provide decent defaults for social interactions, and a sense of belonging. Birds of a feather flock together. It is too many labels that can be problematic, in a sense of crippling social interactions and turning them into ego duels. Again, this is just how my experience aligns with the article, and not at all scrutinizing _your_ identity.
If fees are less than 1/10th of a cent, it means they make less than $1 for every 1000 transactions. So how many transactions are they processing? In 2019, ~5000 transactions per month [1], so the entire lightning network was generating less than $5 per month in revenue. Something doesn't add up.

All I have seen is not having rotational vibration sensors.

> The Seagate 3 TB models failed at a higher rate than other drives during the Backblaze deployment, but in fairness, the Seagate drives were the only models that did not feature RV (Rotational Vibration) sensors that counteract excessive vibration in heavy usage models -- specifically because Seagate did not design the drives for that use case.
This is really cool and how probably most people would prefer to message, hope you keep at it. But I’m worried about connecting my private messages to any service, let alone one this young. Would be nice to see something on the landing page to alleviate my fears.
We don't write code for computers to run, but for other programmers to read.

Well, maybe sometimes we shouldn’t.

Let’s pick a topical example. Suppose we have a tool used by JS developers, itself written in straightforward JS. Its code is nice and easy to read, and it does the job. However, it takes 5s to process a source tree containing a few thousand lines of code.

Now suppose we could have an alternative version of that tool, written by a skilled developer using a more performance-oriented language, and placing greater emphasis on runtime performance even if it means sacrificing some readability in the source code. This might do the same job in well under a second. As esbuild¹ has shown, this scale of performance improvement is realistic.

Maybe this tool gets run 50 times per day. Then a single developer using it could justify spending about a week writing the faster alternative tool to break even on time saved over five years. (There’s an xkcd² about this that is worth a look if you haven’t seen it before.)

But maybe this tool doesn’t have just one user, it has one million. Then those frequent 5s inefficiencies add up to several hundred users’ entire careers in lost productivity over that same five-year span.

That’s a high price to pay for writing software in a way that is more convenient for developers but less good for users.

If you compare people to apartheid murderers and _don't_ specify how you mean, you can't exactly claim he's jumping down _your_ throat taking that the wrong way.

"Oh, these leftists seem like Adolf Hitler"

"Fuck you"

"Hey, hey, I didn't specify _how_ they're like Hitler, I just meant how he dehumanises people, not _any_ of the things almost everyone in the world knows him for"

This is why I hate the anti-woke, just incredible levels of smug, trolling styles of communication, constantly saying inflammatory bullshit and then pulling back and acting "attacked" and calling people "close-minded" for not asking you to elaborate on obvious "veiled" insults and bile.

What do you think you're saying? The fact that a word has the same meaning in contemporary French that it does in contemporary English is not relevant to whether it had another meaning in the English of three hundred years ago.

> I can't fail to notice you don't provide any proof for this improbable claim.

> Another unsubstantiated claim, and just as improbable on the face of it.

I'm not responsible for the failures of your knowledge. These claims are both quite obvious, if -- as I specified above -- you take the time to read the things that this set of people said and wrote at the time.

Here's a letter from George Washington in which he contrasts an "irregular and disjointed militia" with a "well regulated militia": https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/03-08-02-...

> The irregular and disjointed State of the Militia of this province, makes it necessary for me to inform you, that unless a Law is passed by your Legislature to reduce them to some order, and oblige them to turn out in a different Manner from what they have hitherto done, we shall bring very few into the Feild, and even those few, will render little or no Service.

> your first object should be a well regulated Militia Law. The people, put under good Officers, would behave in quite another manner, and not only render real Service as Soldiers, but would protect, instead of distressing the Inhabitants.

Here's a speech by George Clinton from 1798, in which, instead of referring to a "well regulated militia", he refers to a "well organized militia": https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/evans/N25292.0001.001/1:2?rgn=d...

> The means of national defence should rest in the body of the people. A well organized militia is the only safe bulwark of a free people, competent on all occasions to repel invasion and suppress insurrection. Standing armies are not only expensive but dangerous to the liberties of the state. In republics every citizen should be a soldier.

Note that this is not at all an unexpected meaning for the word "regulated" to have. "Regulation" as in command is related to "rule" as in rulership. "Regulation" as in correct operation is related to "rule" as in the straight line drawn by a... "ruler".

Code that's under time constraints especially needs good documentation. Do you still know the constraints of code you last touched 5 years ago? I don't.

As for your comment about the commodities. Yes, it makes it easier to onboard people, but by this, employers also make it easier for people to switch jobs and negotiate better terms. So I don't agree that this necessarily creates a worse situation for employees.

I genuinely don’t know why anyone buys Seagate drives.

Every single one I have owned with any decent level of usage since the mid-90s has died on me after a couple years. I actually bought a 4 Disk Seagate NAS and all 4 Seagate drives have since been replaced with HGST drives one by one.
I agree with your reasoning, the issue is that it requires a fair amount of work to restructure the authentication flow. Additionally, I would have to preserve the project and migrate it to the newly created account. At the moment I have higher priority usability issues that I'm working through, but I will get to it at some point.
Makes me think of various causality ambiguities in Polish, where a sentence can be written as [subject] [verb] [object], and [object] [verb] [subject], and all three words retain the same form - so you can't tell what's a subject and what's an object from the sentence in isolation.

I do my best to avoid speaking/writing such sentences, but I had a brief moment of frustration when I started to type arrows showing which noun is acting on each. So, [subject] --[verb]-> [object], and [object] <--[verb]-- [subject]. Only much later it occurred to me that the direction of the arrow is also something potentially ambiguous - even in computing, the arrows on the diagrams can mean the opposite of what you'd naturally draw (looking at you, UML class diagram), so they get mixed up.

My current pet peeve are the verbs that not only do not disambiguate between subject and object, but also they mean the opposite thing depending on context. "To rent" is an example in both English and Polish ("wynajmować"). If I say, "I'm renting a flat" (pl_PL: "wynajmuję mieszkanie"), it can mean that I'm either letting someone else live in my flat, or living in someone else's flat, and you can't tell which without context. Ugh.
The fraud is theirs.

But you're supposed to hide the murder weapon.
The diagram is 2D, and in 3D the most straightforward solution seems to swim to the side.
I simply meant that open borders can be implemented by a straightforward increase in quotas. Nothing else has to change. The quotas doesn't even have to be removed, they just need to be made arbitrarily high so that they don't materially distort the free movement of people on the long term. (Ie. it might take a few years to get through in busy times, but if it happens legally, great. Also the real problem is that asylum seeking is inextricably linked to this. And ideally it'd be great if asylum seekers wouldn't have to live in some godforsaken tent city for years if they are legally allowed to move to the US in a few years anyway.)

I'm not aware of a standard definition. With capital O and B, I think of the book: https://www.smbc-comics.com/openborders/

With regards to "defund the police" I'm perfectly happy to accept that it means different things to different people marching side by side with the same banners. And similarly with BLM.

I think it would be great if people would question others who use slogans without explaining what they actually mean. (For example even if someone is full abolish the police yesterday, sure, there's still a lot of explaining to do. How would this happen? By a federal law? Is that even constitutionally sound? Oh, by a change in the constitution? Oh, just a local thing? So the FBI/ATF/DEA are still on? Okay, so what will happen with all the police staff, and their hardware? And naturally what will be done to .. um ... fight crime? Neighborhood watches? Random deputyzation every time a crime is committed? Is there going to be a standing committee that handles this? How are the members chosen? Etc.. etc..)
Supply and demand. Companies need to offer more money, perhaps they could cut back on skinny lattes and avacado toast?
Exploring Android Development on iPad
I'm a post doc virology researcher whose gain of function research is, ironically, delayed by covid.

I think you're spot on with the description of the Science Game. It's depressing, and I'm considering leaving academia because I can't stand the perverse incentive structures.

I think you're misguided with respect to why gain of function research is done. The idea that we're doing gain of function in order to generate more stuff to study is sort of right, but missing the point. It's not that we've run out of natural stuff to study. We have plenty of natural viruses to study. It's instead that gain of function is a great way to practically test some hypotheses. Imagine you have a theory that property X of a virus enables it to replicate in humans. You can remove property X from an existing virus, but it's even more convincing if you can predict what adding property X to a different virus will do.

Also I would argue that "gain of function research" is too broad a term to be useful for making policy. It's like discussing whether "nuclear physics" is dangerous. Building nuclear weapons is dangerous, making a particle accelerator isn't.
There is the negative equivalent, when people want to prevent you to do something. "Don't do this! Imagine if everybody would just do like you?". No, everyone is not going to just do like me, there's room for most people's actions.
But people do mod CPU's... By overclocking, by hacking into SMM mode, by liquid nitrogen cooling...

All big manufacturers bought whatever supplies they could get their hands on as soon as the impact of the floods was clear.

If you like this idea, take a look at Nim. It has a syntax familiar to Python users with very capable AST metaprogramming built in.
On the other hand the incentive for people to innovate and make it accessible to anyone is often money. The criticism of capitalism is warranted, however the supposedly bad capitalist IP system is also the reason for innovation and cooperation.
