I second your recommendation of Balkan Insight as a reliable source. I've lived in Croatia for ~5 years training local LEA's in modern cyber and intel techniques (OSINT being a large part of it).

The older population is still deeply divided over the horrors of the war with many veterans living on government money (some of them have never seen a fight). I have a lot of trust in the younger people who are sick of it all, want change and believe in integration, free movement (within EU) and modern values. But if you go out for drinks in a less touristy bar that you'll find yourself amidst a celebration of war criminals and/or people who benefited from the spoils of war (and organized crime that goes hand in hand there). Fun facts: the owner of Rimac is building his car company on his fathers criminal empire, the hooligans supporting the local Zagreb club (some of them Neo Nazi's) are being celebrated for enforcing the law in places where the police has no power or helping with local community efforts (rebuilding the city after the earthquake), ...

There is a saying in Croatia "Where were you in '92" that is reserved for the older population. You never know who you are befriending and what crimes they got into during the war.

Among the most horrible people that stem from the place are the modern elite. Anyone who shows their money and who often no longer live there. The owner of "Konzum", a huge grocery chain where the owner built his empire on war money and extracts the revenues via off-shore companies while sitting comfortably in his flat in London while his employees scrape by with shit working condition and terrible pay.

There is also the puppet-mayor of Zagreb who peddles most of his contracts to the Bosnian mob and who is unable to speak up. It really pisses off the older Croatians.

The top lawyer of the country is in the mob, as are several judges. The Hack club "Mama" in Zagreb is constantly harassed by the local criminals who want them to vacate the premises so they can rent it out for higher prices, despite a long term contract being in place. Many of the trendy cafe's are run by the mobsters wifes, GF's and sisters. You can get a great deal there in the middle of the town for lease for your new restaurant or club idea and once you're in - BOOM! the rent double or triples. People wonder why restaurants and clubs never survive there more than 2-3 years and often shut down while they are at the peak of their popularity. It's not because Zagreb constantly plays with new ideas, it's because otherwise you might lose a couple of fingers, or worse. Also cops are useless there (unless you pay them) ... in fact I got some of my best weed of a corrupt cop in Zagreb.

There is also the question of Dubravka Šuica who is now in the Vice-President of the European Commission, a corrupt individual who got rich as a teacher moving into politics and supporting the local "construction projects" and benefited from pork-barrel projects in her home region Dubrovnik.
reminds me of pageflakes/netvibes/my.yahoo days -when rss was prevalent and super useful.
You're spot on. But beyond that, the idea that there's any kind of general public enlightenment to be had by spreading the most impactful (not necessarily accurate) videos by algorithmic selection in the face of considerable uncertainty and risk is absurd.

The youtube algorithm and social platform is not some kind of careful dialog for mutual enlightenment. People aren't trying to rationally assess conflicting and limited evidence, and youtubes algorithm certainly doesn't reward any such painstaking work.

As such on youtube which is what this is about, any such discussion is not at all likely to inform; yet because convincing tales sell better, whatever claims are made, are likely to sound convincing to at least some people - truth and honesty are entirely orthogonal issues here, or worse actively selected against (because they're usually messy, unclear, and thus boring).

And thus on youtube the appropriate strategy is at a bare minimum draconian censorship. I mean, ideally they'd dump the sensationalism-boosting algorithm, but that ideal is obviously not a viable request to a platform that depends on user engagement (of any kind) for its survival.

Just because we don't want to live in an Orwellian nightmare doesn't mean all speech is necessarily a value-add, nor that there aren't any social dynamics that can reliably induce harmful speech. The world isn't that simple.

So while it's reasonable for people to seek certainty in uncertain times, that doesn't mean youtube is the place for everybody to debate ideal drug regimens.
I tapped on the developer link on the app's main page in the mobile Play store on my phone, and it said no results found. How can that app be in the store of a publisher that doesn't exist?

No, they have a harness called Caravan that has no I/O buffers. I calculated Ft=65 GHz on this process and have a 1-15 GHz amp working in simulation (pre-extraction), though I don’t know if I’ll have time to apply for the next run.
I don't think we can say that this question is settled yet.

The origin of SARS-COV2 is still a mystery and there is not enough evidence to support any explanation so far.

The initial violent pushback and recent relaxation around the lab leak hypothesis is suspicious, but it might be unrelated to the truth.
Hi peter,

Did you move just the folder in steamapps/common? There is also a file like steamapps/appmanifest_220.acf that tells steam the game is installed in that folder. It should detect those in all game library folders on start.
Damn, it started well but you went into some really deep prejudice. I’ll take note that Taiwanese are the best ROI for low cost immigrants - apparently much better than Mexicans.

How about putting some reins on the real estate and trading markets instead of “getting better immigrants”? Sounds a little bit more logical.
> Which is farcical when you look at how mainstream and accepted ideas from the left are in the culture of the west. Unless you shift the definitions of what far-left and far-right are

OK. Far right idea are built on a simple idea. We (our group, nationalist, cultural, religious) are inherently better than the others. This can be proven by Y[0]. But right now, we are feeling inferior to (our neighbours, elites, educated people, [1]). The only rationnal explanation is that (the liberals/the communists/the jew/the illuminati/the deep state) are plotting against us from within. Once those are purged, we will get our rightfull place in the world.

Far left: A class war exist. this can be proven because X[2]. The non-essential properties should be communal. The mean of production should be owned and paid for by the men and women who work them. The undemocratic republic is a tool for the bourgeoisie to keep people content with an illusion of choice and power. Police and armed forces are the other tools of the bourgeoisie to protect their property more than to protect lives[3]. The bourgeoisie must be purged for the working class to thrive again.

I think both are pretty prevalent, one we talk much more about the former than about the later.

Do you think i misrepresented one part? If so, don't hesitate to correct me.

Yes—and my concern is that old binaries will suddenly stop working on newer hardware. This has happened before!

The whole reason the top bits are sign-extended in the first place is to discourage these kinds of shenanigans. I remember the pain of switching 24-bit to 32-bit on M68K Macs.
This is scary.

How could the publisher MA Department of Public Health do this themselves, or why would Google allow this?

> Look at old game consoles (like a regular old PlayStation) and what they were able to render on what today would be laughably slow hardware. They could do it because developers learned the stack inside and out.

You're oversimplifying the situation and drawing conclusions from it. The PSX had dedicated hardware for geometry transforms, video decoding, sound processing, and rasterizing. The CPU was used for game logic and queuing up the render pipeline. So it's not like all PlayStation developers were doing black magic in every game, they were using a lot of dedicated hardware with well known and relatively modest and fixed constraints (NTSC/PAL, stereo audio, and relatively small frame buffers).

It's interesting you picked the PSX as your exemplar because it's CPU/GPU/MDEC and audio processor were meant to be black boxes so developers didn't have to code to bare metal. The IO stack was much shorter and the OS (such as it was) was single tasking, single threaded, and didn't have any networking.

Slowdowns in modern systems are much more complicated that a simplistic "inefficient code makes them slow". There's hundreds of small stupid latencies all over the place in modern systems. The USB and Bluetooth stacks are filled with little latencies, retransmissions, and just wait loops. Unless your inefficient code is full of accidentally quadratic loops it's usually compounded latencies making systems "feel slow".
The point is Sony continued to deny the existence of the rootkit for years, despite overwhelming evidence. If this malware was commissioned by the MPAA or something, I think they would have no issue with telling whatever morally dubious firm they hired to make it look like it came from stereotypical hacker types. They know that security blogs love to make conclusions on the origins of malware based on strings that could be trivially obscured.
Because Google has to satisfy the legal requirements of the country the user is actually in.
This is a nice compilation of resources on methodology, but a new EM could be misled by thinking this has much to do with managing people or leading.
The San Francisco Board of Education have made many displays of incompetence and malice this past year which have been covered by both local and national media.

During the pandemic, the Board of Education announced that 44 schools were named after oppressors (many were justified, but the names committee also made numerous errors) and that principals and families needed to come up with new names for their schools over Zoom. Board member Gabriela Lopez defended even the egregious mistakes, demonstrating that she only cares about “uplifting” and “holding” people of color but not facts https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/how-san-francisco-ren... Unfortunately, Lopez is not up for recall yet, but her enablers are.

Alison Collins led the resolution to remove academic admissions to San Francisco’s magnet high school Lowell High. But instead of debating the pros and cons of having a magnet school, she caricatured the school as bed of “toxic racism” and dismissed the Asian parents who supported an admissions criteria as “a bunch of racists”. https://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1316582760954331136?l... Afterwards, people discovered her previous tweets stereotyping Asians and her pattern of abusing her power (https://twitter.com/hknightsf/status/1391039211747172352). When her colleagues selected a different Vice President, she lashed out with a lawsuit calling her opponents racists (https://missionlocal.org/2021/04/alison-collins-strange-and-...)

The other board members haven't done anything offensive but haven't shown any leadership either. They just enabled the radicals. We don't know exactly why SFUSD didn't open the schools this year (negotiations were behind closed doors), but I suspect it has to do with the board members' extreme deference to the teachers' union that endorsed them.

I encourage anyone who is a San Francisco citizen to print out the recall petitions and mail them in https://recallsfschoolboard.org/

The fraud on the FCC's public comment process is an object lesson. The fraud itself (fake FCC comments under false and stolen identities) was committed by social media consultants with names like "Fluent"*, "Opt-Intelligence", and "React2Media". They were in turn hired by the trade group "Broadband for America", with contractual language that keeps BfA at arms length from the crimes. BfA in turn is a separate entity from the large ISP's that fund and direct it -- the biggest ones being Comcast, Charter, and AT&T. Two levels of indirection.

There are working proof of concept attacks. The only reason you don’t hear more about this is that the mitigations being complained about here are universally enabled in the most vulnerable targets, like cloud hosts.

Otherwise it would be pretty trivial to weaponize the original demonstration, deploy an image to AWS or Google Cloud and read out all your neighbours’ secrets.

The success of the mitigations in rendering these attacks unworkable is literally the only reason people are under the mistaken impression that the cost of the mitigations isn’t worth it “because these attacks don’t happen”.

Every time something like this comes up, I think the same thing:

"Register as a professional engineer, jerk."

If you've done actual engineering work for 20+ years, getting a PE is neither that hard nor that expensive and confers quite a bit of legal protection as well.

If your cause-du-jour isn't worth taking the time to go get a PE, perhaps you don't believe in it very much.

As for the vast hordes of HN who think they're a software "engineer" because they can open Visual Studio Code, go pass the the FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) exam and get back to me. Every professional engineer has passed that exam. If you can't muster up that much effort, why should we call you "engineer"?

> Is giving a speech about how to treat a broken bone considered ‘practicing medicine’?

Quite possibly. And what happens when that speech gives the WRONG treatment for a broken bone?

> Who gets to decide the answer.

Generally the licensing board for precisely the reason I gave above.
> In fact the language spoken by the Swiss cannot be understood by almost all Germans, yet it is still called German.

It's called "Schweizerdeutsch" (Swiss German) and is indeed a separate language. In fact, every region in Switzerland has a different dialect :-)
> Without trivializing the work and scholarship, are there generalized take-away messages that you think the public should know from Questioning Collapse?

Sometimes, the most important generalized take-away message is that there aren’t generalized take-away messages. Many times the causes for collapse are different and multi-factorial that an overarching theory that tries to generalize across a bunch of events is more misleading than helpful.
I think the work factor is addressable to some extent. For example - my team was unhappy about working on a legacy , monolithic codebase so we pushed for rewriting it , convinced the leaders about the benefits and now are spending significant time on it.
I grew up in Southeast Asia and durian never smelled bad to me. Pungent and strong, yes, but not bad. It definitely does not remind me of a dumpster.
Nowhere, man.
But “success” is a fleeting metric, is the point. In your meth use example, the addiction and codependency are due to a physical dependency. Child-rearing is a choice, not a physical addiction. Can’t compare apples and oranges.

Happiness is measured in happiness. We can also measure health.

But “success” is too subjective to matter as a useful metric.
> And here is Merck, that sells Ivermectin, but whose vaccine didn’t make it through clinical trials, discouraging the use of Ivermectin for COVID-19: https://www.merck.com/news/merck-statement-on-ivermectin-use...

If Ivermectin worked on COVID-19, the manufacturer of Ivermectin that has made no money on vaccines for COVID-19 would probably be pushing it wouldn't they?

You are misinformed. Merck has a particular formulation of Ivermectin that they sell but the vast majority of it is made off patent by other manufacturers for very little profit. If they had an exclusive patent on a drug that they could make any flimsy case for effectiveness against Covid I'm sure they would be pushing it, the way Gilead has with remdesivir.

Better access to funding, networking, bigger talent pool, access to some sort of "water-cooling" conversations if you are the social type who loves to mingle. But it is true that the world is getting smaller. Even as an employee, for many places getting a 50% of what you'd earn in the US without having to move there could be worthwhile.
What is an Engineer Manager Anyway?
Well, the fact that they did not ask questions about book on violence against property and space occupation as a mean of democratic manifestation (which is a far left position) but about books on how homosexuality is immoral and should be banned, i'd say this study will pretty much have the result the researchers want.
The cargo cult goes beyond that.

The belief it was created alongside UNIX from the start, when it was used to port UNIX V4 into high level language.

Micro-optimizing each line of code as it is written, "because it is fast", without even bothering to use a profiler.

Even though lint was created alongside C to fix already known programmer faults using the language, in 1979, the belief that only bad programmers need such kind of tooling.
And now we are back to square one: my initial comment.

I've only used it for fairly basic work, but DaVinci Resolve[1] seems pretty good. Not open source, but the free version is licenced for commercial use and AFAICT it seems to have a fairly complete feature set. I suspect it would be sufficient for many use cases.

Susan Kare Explains Macintosh UI Ergonomics on the Computer Chronicles (1984)
the nucleus of a eukaryotic; mammalian cell [a.k.a. humans]
is surrounded by a membrane, this membrane has a number of protiens studded into it, some are channels, others "do backflips" to transport things across the nuclear membrane.

why do this ?.... protiens are made outside of the nucleus and must be inserted into the nucleus.

some of these are structural protiens, others are enzymes, and others are signals to the nucleus to switch operations for the time being, constantly chasing after homeostasis.

Ivermectin disrupts signal transport protien, and becomes cytotoxic, in higher doses due to its effect on the genetic expression signaling system.

[ADNDM]
the claim is that CoV2019 infects a cell then produces a protien that enters the host nucleus and ultimately modulates interferon production, by the infected cell, and that Ivermectin can disrupt this.

when covid imports a specific protien this lowers the signal the infected cell attempts to give surrounding cells that there is an invader, and to harden up molecular defenses.

the problem is that the cell relies on this nuclear transport of signals for proper functioning, so you cant just block it, and expect the host to be spared cytotoxic effect.
