Actually, it seems that this did go into production - you can now verify identity using the service. For example, you can identify yourself for Govt. of Canada services (immigration, taxes) by logging into to your banking platform that then vouches for your identity using a service called SecureKeyConcierge / Verified.Me - note that ALL of Canada's major and quite a few minor banks are signed up to the service.

See this page:

https://services.securekeyconcierge.com/cbs/saml/login?l=1&l...

The way the service works by getting permission from you, the user, to share some part of your identity with the destination and you can chose what you share. You could pick for example just to share name and not DoB.

The one reason I hate this otherwise superbly designed service and refused to use it is that is has a dark pattern where it creates a "SecureKey / Verified.Me Concierge Account" for "you" when you use it and starts proxying/pre-emptying the bank-login-as-verification process.

WHICH IS STUPID
AND SCAMMY
IF YOU ARE READING THIS VERIFIED.ME, THIS IS DARK PATTERN BEHAVIOR AND IT IS NOT RIGHT OR FAIR

/start rant

From my perspective, the whole point is - inhale - "I sorta trust my bank because I have to so I will log on to them so that they can vouch for me but I definitely don't trust you so why are you being a dick and making me make an account with your service that I don't trust and will never trust" - exhale

Just let the bank vouch for me each time, this is what I expect a reasonable and non-scammy service provider to do. Don't wait till you have my info then tell me, hey, I will make an verified.met / secureconcierge account for you so that <insert your preferred monetization rationale here> before you do what you promised to do.

I get the idea that they want to consolidate a profile so that you can pick what to share without entering it each time but they way it is done right now feels really slimy.

Yes, but they don't celebrate Christmas.

Anyway, Americanized Muslims tend to be quite "moderate", that is, they are either apostates or firmly on the path to becoming apostates. I don't know if this follows from selective immigration or from social pressure to assimilate into the liberal civic religion, but it is so. So it's not surprising that they would embrace the secularized counterfeit that many Americans already celebrate, just as they probably end up watching the high feast known as the Superbowl and joining into the national prostration before the Almighty Game.

Thanks!

1) would love to rotate the model to see how it looks from all angles.

This our current product can do, if we were are able to get the side and back garment image from retailer (surprisingly a lot of them don't carry these images).

2) being able to customize the model to look similar to me (so I can get a sense for how the clothes would fit on my body) would be awesome.

This one is very hard, despite a lot of ask on it. We're working on it!
I disagree. Climate change is a terrible example to prove your point. It's an easy one and weakens your argument about balance. Climate change has scientific consensus and has gotten better over time. Most political issues left/right are concerned about issues that are far more nuanced and there isn't enough data to back it up, or even if there is data, there are gaping holes in methodology and eventually boils down to philosophical/ideological discussions about rights, duties of citizens and the governing bodies.

People that follow the ideology of echo-chambering that you're proposing is exactly what we don't need at this time. Labeling centrists with condescendence of fetishism is uncalled for. I suggest RTFA.

The press is doing a poor job of omitting facts (which is different from lying) because they don't echo back in their chambers. People that follow your proposal would be illinformed of the facts that are omitted.
This is one of those ideas that may sound good in theory, but will be impossible to apply fairly. There are many "meme" coins that are now dedicating a portion of each transaction towards charity - saving apes, funding animal shelters, etc. Is that enough utility? And there are plenty of ERC20 tokens that are not meme coins that, debatable, serve no real purpose except to enrich their creators and early investors.

And while I'm no fan of NFTs, they seem as to have as much inherit value as any piece of art (whatever someone is willing to pay).
The economy is there to the benefit of the people in it, not the other way around. An ever-increasing number of people on this fixed sized planet is simply unsustainable.

If we can live with less people who are happier, what's not to like?

> Real Translation: Covid has made people miserable in their jobs.

No, people were miserable in their jobs prior to the Covid era. The Covid era just gave them the repose they needed to reframe their job experience and their relationship to their employers. That's a positive development for Americans and their employers.

Nonsense. There are tons of video compilations showing Democrat leaders using the exact same turns of phrase that Trump did, talking about "fighting" for their political beliefs.

Further, the Democrats were urging violence throughout Trump's presidency, but the default US media never claimed that they were "attempting a coup". Democrats were attacking federal buildings with fireworks, arson, shooting high-powered lasers into the eyes of the police, and on and on. But those were "mostly peaceful protests".

https://thefederalist.com/2021/01/08/10-times-democrats-urge...

This is really why we can't have nice things.

Claims that 1/6 was an attempted coup are just so far beyond the pale of honest discourse.
Seriously. I thought I had to be missing something, it's so apples-and-oranges.

This moves it into a niche for criminal activity, rampant speculators, and gamblers.

The purpose of banning a type of financial transaction is to avoid stories where a retiree, or other vulnerable person loses their life savings because they got hooked into a get rich quick scheme. These bans only make sense when it's deemed utterly irrational to participate in the transaction for either all buyers or all sellers.

It's pretty easy to understand why someone who has a modest nest egg/retirement portfolio could be pushed into a bet the house situation if they don't understand what they are buying and aren't particularly financially literate.
It sounds like you're asking for a payment verification system, not an identity verification system.

Does Discord need to know my identity, or does it need to know that my card hasn't been stolen? If it's the latter, then I'm unsure why Stripe is offering the business access to my passport/license, and I'm unsure why we would want to build a government ID system for Discord instead of a government payment system.

SF is a bit of a one-trick pony these days, sure, but to me this is a broad over-generalization that is easily proven false.

The individuals who occupy the upper-echelons of this world in SF tend to be the unusual kinds of unusual people. They often have unique upbringings, come from distinctly not-obvious academic/work backgrounds, and keep much more dynamic forms of company than the typical "Backend Engineer 3" at Amazon or Google.
Indeed. Imagine having to lower real estate prices because demand falls. Fossil fuel use going down, less useless crap produced for less people, less pollution. Having to raise wages because of less unskilled labour available.

Sounds like a nightmare (for some).
IANAL, so I can’t say. You could try using the “code is speech” argument like what encryption advocates in the 90s argued. It worked then, but I doubt it’d work for this.
>I think those worried about authoritarianism should be much more concerned about the power of tech and big corps to control the public square than having the "wrong" people win elections, because the defending the process is much more important than the worrying about the outcome.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, because the "wrong" people winning elections is - in part - exactly how the process gets destroyed. Once in power, they twist the system to stay there - that's the pattern.
> I tried this experiment: read nytimes, wapo, fox, national review and politico.

Those are the sources you tried to balance with? Every one of those is a fringe hard-leaning source, except maybe Wapo which can't be trusted because it's owned by Bezos. You need to seek more moderate sources to begin with.

The Five Hearts (of social media feedback)
That was a very interesting article to read. Thank you for sharing.
I think there are a lot of people like you, just as there are a lot of alcohol drinkers who are not alcoholics, and a lot of people who can smoke one cigarette a day and not become chain smokers.

There are also a lot of people with a vastly different experience with internet porn. Since we’re sharing personal anecdotes, allow me to describe my experience. I’ve first encountered internet porn in my teenage years. A harmless habit eventually escalated to daily 1-2 hour sessions, with maybe a hundred tabs open searching for that “perfect” video or picture. I would download terabytes of torrented porn to find that one specific video. Looking at porn on my phone would be the first thing I did in the morning and the last thing I did before falling asleep at night. It has poisoned my intimate relationships and my views of women in general (when 90% of ones experience of the opposite sex is from online porn, it warps ones real world perceptions). The sessions would eventually start leaving me drained and depressed for a few days after, to the point where I had to time them around important events (like work presentations, etc.) so that I would feel up to the task. I strongly suspect it caused some dysfunction with the real thing, ranging from never quite being satisfied (I would be back looking at porn an hour after sex) to some psychological and physical issues like premature ejaculation and not being able to get aroused for days at a time.

Like many addicts, I tried quitting a few times. The first time was after a week long vacation where I didn’t have easy access to internet. I felt better and got interested in the topic (despite the above I never considered my porn usage “a problem” until then). Turns out there’s an evolving community of people sharing these issues. I abstained for maybe half a year after relapsing. Similarly how smokers who quit talk about being able to experience smell and taste in a new way, this was a revelation. What attracted me in women started to change. Things became more subtle and interesting. I also felt like I no longer needed to have sex all the time and it greatly improved the quality of my relationships.
Most recently, I quit using https://easypeasymethod.org/ (a rewrite of the classic “Easy Way to Stop Smoking” but for porn) and I hope this time for good! If anyone recognizes themselves in this story please do yourself a favor and read through that website - if there’s a 1% chance of it working for you it’s worth it.

I think you can agree that my experience is not “normal” or “healthy”. I also believe a lot of people are in the same boat, as the availability of online porn is only becoming easier with time.

Knowing what I know now I wish I’ve never came across it back then and I’m dreading figuring out how to educate my children about this. The easily available, effectively infinite internet porn is the problem, not just porn in general. I don’t see getting hooked in the same way on magazines or dvds, as repetitiveness gets boring pretty quickly.
Sounds like there's some interest in this routine... If only there was a database you could submit it to..... ;)

In practice when Mozilla is the only real competition to Chrome and wouldn't exist without Google's funding, it's a conflict of interest regardless.

All it does is make the situation more 'death by a thousand papercuts' than any single standard/extension.

Because Joe Rogan has a habit of hosting individuals who are blatant frauds and plays it off as "representing both sides". When you have Alex Jones on and let him spew outright lies for an hour without questioning any of it, you've lost all credibility.
I think the other comment has a point though: these frameworks are definitely powerful, but they have no right to be as large as they actually are. Nowadays, we're blowing people's minds by showing 10x or 100x speedups in code by rewriting portions in lower-level languages; and we're still not even close to how optimized things used to be.

I think the more amicable solution here is to just have higher standards. I might not have given up on Windows (and UWP) if it didn't have such a big overhead. My Windows PC would idle using 3 or 4 gigs of memory: my Linux box struggles to break 1.
Here's another example:

The google vs DuckDuckGo search results for the same exact phrase "list of conservatives banned by twitter" yield utterly different results. None of the admittedly right wing websites are even listed in the google results for that search. The only site in common on the first page is Forbes, but even then the two articles are different even though they came out the same exact day.

If you use google, you'd think that twitter isn't censoring conservatives. If you use duckduckgo, you'll think that they do.
The recuperation of leftist language critiquing capitalist politics as pejorative to anti-capitalist is a sight to behold.
His Mars trilogy includes a plot device where the Martians invent the biotech necessary for 400+ year lifespans - initially they try to keep it a secret, but it doesn't last as a secret for long. When word spreads to Earth, the debates rage - who gets it? Those who can pay for it? Thus increasing the inequality and also, massively surging overpopulation.

He's been thinking about this for a while, for sure. And I do wonder what is going to happen if we all get a 'chance' to live to 300 or something. Or forever. Yikes.
This isn't true. Lower rep ranges will better acclimate the CNS to higher bar-weight, but that's not really the same as "strength".

On the flipside, higher rep ranges don't give you bigger muscles - overall training volume (total weight moved per movement) is moreso the determining factor on "size"[0]. In general it's best to just do whatever you find difficult. Lots of "powerbuilders" use Undulating Periodization (sometimes Daily) to try and get the benefits of the CNS acclimation + the increased work capacity that higher rep ranges bring.

Here's the problem - replace [currency] with any of many other things and the statement is still valid. You need to explain why crypto specifically deserves more hate than, say, Forex or options trading.
It certainly seems like it would be a good thing for the economy, if you define "the economy" as how well all the humans are doing, as opposed to just absolute GDP and how wealthy the wealthy are.

He strikes me as someone who has been burnt by the packaging issues that have been around in the ecosystem for years.

You're right that the existence of PyPI doesn't mean everyone is forced to link back to it, but damn it would make a lot of stuff a hell of a lot easier if it did. I've been bitten by Debian packages being years out of date, I've seen packages modified by maintainers in ways that are poorly documented and useful for Debian users rather than Python ecosystem participants.

I've managed to work my way out of that now and would never go back to that world if I can help it as the trade of reduced engineering quality (along various axes) for increased "freedom" is not one that I value (personally, or at work). So I can really empathise with this persons position.

I think they handled it poorly, communicated poorly, came to the wrong conclusions, and left the discussion in a bad place, but all of that just screams frustration to me, and I can understand where it comes from.
I think because Joe Rogan-ites tend to be "apolitical" in a very specific way (at least in my personal experience). They are fundamentally different from the hippies, but still believe in sampling many opinions
What Frenk is effectively saying is that he doesn't want his packages redistributed by distros. Since this is a dependency of home assistant, this means home assistant (as the whole package) can't be distributed if his wishes are respected.

Additionally Frenk didn't react to any proposal to still distribute home assistant and it's dependencies while respecting his wishes. This seems like a pretty clear-cut case of involving the upstream community, to make sure they're aware and ok with their dependencies trying to block distribution or to change something if that's not the case.

The whole saga left me rethinking my home assistant usage, since it seems like this could become a larger issue with other distribution mechanism not sanctioned by upstream.
Read TFA and the press release linked therein. If you're a "digital asset exchange" operating in Thailand, offering your customers to trade the banned items will lose you your license, and if you continue operating I imagine at some point the police will show up at whatever physical presence you have and arrest people, and your assets (including bank accounts) will be seized.

No, that is not 100% effective in stopping people from trading these coins, but it doesn't have to be, and it' not even necessarily the intention - note that it's not even a law but an SEC decision.
On visual studio, the main() is not the entry point of the program.

The entry point is automatically generated by the compiler, it calls a few functions depending on what the program does then calls the main, I think it had to do with initializing the standard library. You can see the stub using a debugger or a disassembler.

It's possible to set the entry point point to any function name. See advanced project settings.

Now about the arguments and return type. With main the caller is responsible for pushing arguments onto the stack before the call, then popping the stack after the call. the return code is in the EAX register if I remember well.

Because of that, it doesn't matter what's the signature of the main, the invocation will work irrelevant of the arguments.

People may ask what's the point of knowing any of this? One major use case is to write executable compressors like UPX. Another use case is to make a custom entry point written in assembler.
have you seen last podcast? he questions a lot of Alex' stuff.
Further are the three AJs podcasts great entertainment
Because he has a tendency to be misinformed and spread that misinformation.
Arguably the home assistant community is fragmented. What if Debian policy or whatever distro they use is targeted next?

IMO there was no discussion in that thread just "remove from no" "we can't do that" repeat
The company that the candidate previously worked for is typically not permitted to say anything about the candidate without prior authorization. Your proposed solution is not workable.

I've previously hired contractors with minimal interviewing because they came from a trusted partner to my organization, so I asked the partner about their productivity and skills and they were given good reviews relative to what we were trying to accomplish.

Each of them were a net negative with respect to the project. The time it took me to review their pull requests and help them write code which was passable was longer than it would have taken me to write the code myself. Additionally, the code that was passable has been a constant source of bugs.

A more thorough technical interview may have avoided hiring them. In retrospect, the correct course of action would have been to not hire anyone until someone qualified was available. This anecdote does support the grand-parent posters theory that operating with fewer incompetent people is better.

Additionally, their proposal is generally workable (which again, yours is not).

Competence is a spectrum and so at some level of competence there will be people who are competent but unable to pass overly complex interview questions. The fact that this overlap exists seems to be what you are complaining about. Even still, not hiring people in this overlap is probably safer than hiring people which make the system worse in my experience.

Just do whatever's difficult. Some days show up and do 10 sets of 3, some days show up and do 6 sets of 4. Total volume is the deciding factor (other than, of course, recovery).

Mike Isratel's work on Maximum Recoverable Volume is probably the best piece of work for deciding things like rep ranges.
Yes. I'm reminded of the woman who had survived the Holocaust and was asked to be interviewed — where they would also bring on a Holocaust denier ... you know, for balance.

Thankfully, she declined. But the point is of course: here we are.
