The therapeutic does you get doesn't make you "high", you get a small burst of energy similar to caffeine at most, nothing unsustainable. And since "euphoria" isn't a well defines concept you could see caffeine as causing "euphoria". Certainly seems that way when people say they can't function before they get their morning coffee.

So this comes up every time Windows comes up. I have a "Pro" version, went into Group Policy Editor and changed updates to require user action. This setting is supported by Microsoft and persists through updates. It only updates if I tell it to update.

Is that too hard to discover? Do you use a Home edition? (Obviously if you use any unsupported registry hacks it can revert to default behaviour any time...)
>I'm not sure how "associating a publicly broadcast BSSID with coordinates" is tracking a person.

But it's not just that is it? If you log in to a google site from that publicly broadcast BSSID, you will get tracked by association, even if you have your location tracking turned off.
It spread in the fall of 2019, which is late September, October, November, and December. That would put it in line with spreading in the US in December.
Link is down, here's the google cache: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:CzQkMc...
It works off the BSSID (ie. MAC address), not the ESSID (the human visible string).
Is it not using the MAC address of the AP? I figured it wouldn't solely rely on the SSID?
I’ve done quite a bit of Elisp hacking and concurrency is really the only annoying part for me. I haven’t run into any issues with namespacing and dynamic scoping.

I usually toss a few modern libs in there like dash, s, f, and cl, and it feels like any other modern lisp at that point.
The kicker will be when those companies all sell their SSID info to each other, so that Amazon can supplement Google's warehouse with the SSIDs of everyone who appended "nomap" to theirs, and Google can return the favor with everyone who appended "no_amazon" to theirs.
Yeah, I read "sites will opt-in" as "sites are free to not use google products".
A curious question (from a long-time open source contributor)...

From the perspective of IBM's customers of APL2 (not from the perspective of some other group of humanity), would it best suit their interests to have APL2 spun off to a company, or for APL2 to be released as FOSS?

I'm wondering whether, whatever the needs of those APL2 customers, perhaps the company would be more likely to satisfy those needs, compared to waiting for whatever emerges from FOSS?

(Of course, with FOSS, multiple companies could emerge, and also be motivated to compete. But they'd be competing with each other, and with free FOSS undercutting them, for possibly a small pool of customers that might not grow much. And I don't know whether it'd be viable to invest in that slice of customers, or to even be in that business at all?)
I honestly can't comprehend what this means or why it's called "10x productivity". You're productive, but overall performance is horrible? So you do lots but do it badly?
So... on par with any modern website (minus the 90s)?
Update: I pushed hard enough and FINALLY got confirmation that they are only collecting the laptop and I’m free to donate/discard the rest.

Thanks for your suggestions! Glad to have this behind me now.
> Hangs could be so many things, but it is the absence of information.

start adding information.

you need to know what the code is getting to and/or what its not getting to and progressively narrow it down. spamming debug print statements can be useful if you have no better ideas to get yourself moving.

or if you can manage to hook up an interrupt handler to be able to get it to dump a stack trace that'll immediately tell you.

or attach a debugger while its spinning in order to get a stack trace.

or attach something like strace to dump out system calls or ltrace to dump out libc calls. that can't catch processing spinning in "math" though, but that absence of information is a hint that eliminates lots of possibilities.

you may need to add a feature to the software in order to do this kind of debugging, so you write your own USR1 interrupt handler or something. it will be worth it.

i think the kids these days use stuff like systemtap?
Isn't that what the study is suggesting though? They are looking back (like you point out) and finding it earlier than we all thought?
Wifi SSID triangulation is incredibly common & is one of the primary ways phones are able to so reliably & quickly get a fine location, especially indoors.

Apple is also collecting & phoning home all SSIDs with a GPS location that they come across, for example. So is Mozilla for that matter, and Mozilla also uses the same _nomap suffix as Google does ( https://location.services.mozilla.com/optout ). It's how browsers on laptops are able to get a location, which is also true on again both Apple & Microsoft devices as well.

So no, Google can't just opt to not do this at all. Not if they want to be competitive. The entire ecosystem could collectively decide to not build an SSID location database at all, but since SSIDs are not identifying this is going to be a struggle to justify.
I can see this potentially working out well if the "atoms" are roughly at the level of design system elements (for example, maybe something like Tachyons).

At the level of class-per-CSS-property it just makes no sense to me. CSS properties are a well-defined and composable set of rules too.
Outrageous. I have to opt out by changing my network, instead of Google asking for my permission or at least providing a form for opt out. Reconfiguring the router and all machines that work with it is just too much work, also it does not work retroactively (but should imho). It's PII at least in some situations, and for someone with Google's power.
Stimulants tend to make anxiety worse. But treating ADHD tends to make anxiety better. So it depends. And there are other ADHD medications too.
Most of the time savings of a modern JS framework are in thinking/coding/researching phases, not "waiting for my build to finish". Even for a big site, startup time is not important at all if you have hot reloading.
I don't think so. I think they key off the mac address included in the ssid broadcast, not the ssid name.
Really cool site, thanks

Stop trying to tie it to your politics. Some people want real evidence before they scream about things like you do. It had little to do with Trump.
I think it's explained here: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/built-in-css-support

Basically strong encouragement and support for CSS modules, but some other escape hatches and approaches are supported.
Yes, in practice however it makes a difference. Consider for example computing the ReLu function for a neural network:

- With boolean circuits you need to run dozens of boolean gates, which means a lot of underlying crypto ops. Works but expensive.

- with arithmetic circuits, you would approximate it using polynomials. Works but not with high precision.

- with functional circuits, you encore the function as a single “bootstrapping” operation. Works in a single crypto op.

Performance / precision tradeoffs will be very different in these 3 cases
Just my personal take, but be clear about what you don’t intend to “fix” or incorporate. Say it’s not aligned with the project goals and it’s not on the roadmap.

This will help folks evaluating the project better assess how well it fits, and leaves behind a potential feature set for a new project (or fork).

In the long run, not communicating might be worse than a disappointing but clear answer.
I have met many ambitious European people in the US. Europe has ambitious people, they just don’t make it easy for them to do their thing; it’s better for ambitious people to just go to the US than to take on the monumental task of changing the culture in Europe or to swim upstream and try to start a business anyway.
What would be the ideal privacy standards?
Apple and the EU seem to be making these decisions so far as they roll out privacy features and laws, but the web still seems pretty wild west.

I want something like six known levels, prominently displayed in the browser for every page I visit, with the ability to confirm before loading pages above a certain level.

1: Telemetry is opt-in and never resold. The experience is not degraded by opt-out.

2: Telemetry is opt-in and resold. The experience is not degraded by opt-out.

3: Telemetry is opt-in and never resold. The experience is degraded by opt-out.

4: Telemetry is opt-in and resold. The experience is degraded by opt-out.

5: Telemetry is always on and not resold.

6: Telemetry is always on and resold.

What would your standard be if the dominant browser weren't owned by a company with a level 6 business model?
During my CS undergrad I got hired by a VP of a company before I graduated, as he also attended CS classes for fun.

I am decent with computers built gaming rigs, overclocked, built servers, set up home labs and networks, built html sites, wordpress sites and was doing extremely well in school. We often talked about how I always was working on different projects.

I have been IC at this company for 4 years now with minimal supervision delivering apps. I did not have an interview.

Therefore, I agree with this advice. Many companies are looking for developers who can develop apps for them as ICs, and OPs experience would be perfect.
It makes the laws really complicated too. Normally, I don't think there's an expectation of privacy for things that you transmit with a radio transmitter, so AFAIK it's still (mostly?) ok to own a radio receiver that can receive (almost) anything anyone transmits. (almost, because things like radar detectors are already illegal in some jurisdictions.)

I think there's a tradeoff here. Having people carve out more and more frequencies that become illegal to monitor might not actually make the world a better place in the long run.
I work with NX and Teamcenter(central data storage amd PLM software) daily and find the single threading during almost all the design work annoying (except for FE, drawings and maybe a few other things).
On the other hand the backwards compatibility is exceptional, opening 20 year old models exactly as they are and rendering the drawings exactly as 20y ago is quite useful (using the renderer of the version it was created with, sometimes with the ols bugs too ;) ).
Expanding NX with custom features and custom scripts is quite easy (plugs into MS VS). Afaik as i know you could use C, C++, C.net, python or even Vjsual Basic to access/modify the data.
> Hard work leading to social mobility has always been the exception, not the rule. Most will not beat the odds since if they did, those wouldn't BE the odds

These claims simply don't hold up against scrutiny.

In the US, children born into a family in the bottom quintile of household income have a 58% chance to step up into a higher income bracket as adults, a ~30% chance to realize an above average income as an adult, and a 6% to reach the top quintile.

Being born into poor circumstances makes things undeniably harder, but the claim that working hard won't lead to a better life is patently false (and imo extremely pernicious).

Reading through these comments, I see an onslaught of unverifiable claims. I'd really appreciate evidence.
One thing that AJE will show is the conflict from the Palestinian side, which is not something western media shows. They will show actual towns and cities in the west bank and Gaza, the israeli settlements which are what are actually causing the flareups in violence. There may not be a neutral source available - reuters and the AP have a pretty consistent bias of rarely mentioning settlements or evictions.

At the very least its nice to put human faces and see real communities in what is often a more rhetorical exercise.

> Would it be better if i said ethno-religious conflicts

Perhaps, I would just say a reading of the situation shows its less a religious conflict and more a political apartheid state. The borders and political rights are the true conflict here, with the religious element sometimes there to inflame and balkanize the factions. Having been raised in the US to think that its this mighty crusade-like undertaking of the jewish/christian world vs the heathen muslims, a real examination of the factors causing protest, violence and conflict has a lot more to do with secular power structures - thats why I think its pretty safe to say its much more akin to South African apartheid the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time. It also helps that the solution must be political.
This is just another instance of the same old discussion. Many things are perfectly okay on an individual basis. E.g. individual citizens can see my license plate, and this is fine. But when it gets correlated into a picture that effectively tracks where I go, now we're talking about something different entirely.
Results will vary for small vs. large programs. I've seen catastrophic space optimizations that out-of-lined very small methods like std::vector::at, because the call was one or two bytes smaller than the inline. Lambdas are inlined even with Os because they don't have names or multiple callers and can't be made smaller by out-of-lining. A functor class, or any function with multiple call sites could trigger the problems with Os.

If you do not have some sort of big problem in relation to suspected ADHD, then it might only help you to know yourself better. ADHD is only a handicap in certain situations.

If you have any interest in master's level engineering, you cannot get by without a strong understanding.

I took a single master's course as a deal to get my bachelor's and that was Random Signals and Stochastic Processes. Wow, you cannot get these concepts without a super strong mathematics background.

To this date I think it was both the hardest and most fulfilling course I took.
No, that is saying that f(0) = 0 which is correct but not what I asked about (nor what was stated in the article).

Incidentally, your correct observation is in contradiction with f(a) = 2 pi log(|a|) since the latter only holds for |a| >= 1. This is because f(a) is not a smooth function.
It does, but it gets the MAC address from the ssid broadcast. What this is saying is that if that broadcast includes an ssid name that ends with "nomap", then the broadcast will be ignored.
The interesting and useful part of the conference (to me) was the live video chat and Q/A with the 7 devs after the polished video, which is still going on right now.
The worst sort of bikeshedding imo. Changing a bunch of terminology to be more "inclusive" without adding any real value or addressing any real harms.

What a huge waste of time.
This makes since sense, but still feels too simplified. I used to spend many hours outside and basically developed a skin type that was easily two types higher than I have normally. When this happened, I found I could definitely do longer without a hat or other sun shades with no negative impact.

Fast forward a few years and I'm back to where the first few days mowing the yard will see me get burned. Give it a few weeks and I can go longer without a hat.
It is broadcast on the same band as the communications, which is almost always in an unlicensed band (if your wifi network used a licensed band you would know -- you would have had to fill out a bunch of paperwork and pay a fee for your license). The point here is that anyone can monitor your wifi transmissions, not just the AP beacons, for any purpose.
How many of your detection mechanisms were actually carried out?

I think the most useful measure that was actually carried out were the handful of places that take samples for flu surveilance that were able to retest the samples for covid. Of course, in many places, you can't actually convince a doctor to take a sample for flu-like illness, so there's no data.

This might be possible if the binary format encodes a sequence / tree of CSG operations. A binary blob might be difficult to merge / conflict-resolve for humans.
I saw this shift as well.

Project ownership was part of the reason I left acadamia.

I conceived, carried out, and kept 2 projects funded over 6 years that ended up in nature and science. I was elated by the pubs. A few months later a colleague I worked with asked me why I wasn't in the patents and I though, what patents? My advisor took out patents on the ideas and cited the papers in the patents without my knowledge. I didn't argue for the sake of leaving with a phd and the probability that those patents would yield financial benefit.

The whole thing left me disillusioned with acadamia...I'm much happier in industry.

How does recording the approximate location of SSID broadcasts "track where I go"?
As sad as this request may be, does anyone have a checklist or something of strategies to try with hospitals for bill negotiation?
I'm not denying that. Of course average standards are better now than they were in the 1950's. But that argument is frequently used as a distraction to avoid talking about very achievable ways that we in America could improve living standards even further, or about very real ways in which lower class people are still suffering even though they might have an Xbox at home. All of the problems I mentioned in my above comment are still valid even though a section 8 apartment is better than a tin shed, yet you didn't address any of them. "There will always be a bottom of the economic ladder" is not an excuse for the wealthiest nation on earth to still allow people to be financially ruined for visiting the ER, for example.

Also, the myth of mobility is not an entirely separate topic, in that it's another distraction frequently employed to place problems on the individual and avoid talking about systemic changes that could take place to benefit people on a broader scale.
I installed Windows without an internet connection and it pretty much feels like Windows 7
Who said anything about Apple and Google? Who said it is about telemetry? Unless you mean any and all data is telemetry.
I feel the same way. I switched my work machine to windows after I couldn't get displayport chaining to work consistently under linux and had to plug in my monitors in a specific order after booting.

Windows is by no means perfect. A bit overly provocative: With windows, if something is bad it is microsofts fault, with linux it's a user error. I don't like ads in the operating system (but I see it is hard to find a path to commercialize a consumer OS).

But I also liked windows 8.

I have Ctrl on capslock and so it's no problem.

To be honest, existing keyboard layouts are so bad that you have to remap a few keys anyway, whether you're an Emacs user or not. Tab and Capslock are gigantic for no reason, backspace is often too far away, Escape is also hard to reach and underused in many applications (or, worse, behaves in unpredictable ways), Enter keys are too small, and so on. As another example, my small 61 key keyboard has an extra large "\" key. Why? No idea.

The price transparency rule was kind of useless already in the setting of most people being insured, it doesn’t really tell people how much they are going to end up paying.

That's really interesting to me. I take methylphenidate as a (doctor prescribed) stimulant and don't get the euphoria much at all. Maybe a little bit the first time I take an increased dose. 5 mg made me feel drugged and tired the first time. At 10 mg, I very nearly puked at about 2 hours and 4 hours after the dose the first week but no euphoria. I just had a more normal amount of energy compared to how tired I am naturally. 15 mg and I'm pretty bright and alert, but wouldn't call it euphoria by any means. I don't know what a recreational dose is. I just got my prescription upped so that I've got a couple 20 mg doses available. If I have a suspiciously lovely day, I'll let you know. I'm definitely not addicted. I feel no need to take it except when I know I need it to get through the day.

What did give me euphoria and hypo-manic behaviors was Nuvigil at 250 mg after having been off it for 2 weeks. That was an inexperienced mistake on my part, but it was really fun.
