They don't have to know it's an avatar. For most jobs if they make any decision based on how the candidate looks they are in the wrong.

It's not any different from make-up, really, which is also hiding your real face, in a different way.
Pretty sure a free service to do this was posted here a few months ago. I used it to get a lot of stuff removed, was very effective.
It takes less space so it downloads faster.
But this isn't a linux issue - this is by design.

If you're deploying code without knowing how networking works, you're always going to have problems with this like this.

Perhaps my example was a little too simplified as AWS is my day-to-day cloud host but I find it hard to believe opening up ports on your VM and exposing it to the world and then placing the blame on docker is fair.
It's because politicians are bought and paid for by the very companies we're talking about. The only way to bring about change is to vote out the incumbent every time for 20 years I'm afraid. That's about the only pressure that will actually work. They are voting the way they do for self preservation via campaign contributions. The only way we can counter that is threaten their self preservation by voting them out every time.

Between Andrew Jackson to U.S. Grant, there were no 2 term presidents. Maybe they knew something we didn't.
Or rather, why don't we force them to login when most of them oblige. Those who refuse are a tiny minority which is insignificant anyway.

Online “platforms” have always been publishers; CDA Section 230 was adopted expressly to preserve that without exposing them to traditional publisher liability.

Following up my last video on what American culture is doing to what could be one of its jewels, here is a shorter, punchier view of Washington Square Park today.

The quote, “Pride Destroyed the Park,” comes from a woman who stopped me while I was taking pictures to tell me the park had 10 times more garbage a few hours earlier. Several people told me so. You can see teams of people cleaning it, around 9:30am.

It is not a sanitation issue.

It is not just a parade issue.

It doesn’t matter who was in the parade.

You can make a difference. You need never buy bottled water, soda, takeout, or nearly any packaged food again in your life, starting this moment.

I agree about the use of cannabis but if you’ve ever lived next to a meth den I don’t think you’d see that and think, “we should legalize this.” Pot heads are one thing, and they don’t usually commit crimes just because they are high, but hard drugs are a completely different ball game that are a lot more nuanced than, “what you do with your body,” meth heads kill people all the time due to the paranoia associated with the drug.
This was discussed a few weeks ago from another source.

It's such a slew of hilarious decisions.

I don't know if the year of the Linux desktop will ever come, but if I had a gaming rig just out of reach of the required specs, I'd be hoping Valve would bail me out by 2025 - and I seriously think that could be the best first choice if they keep making up ground.
I was friends (more aquaintances now since I haven't seen him for quite a few years) with an incredibly talented artist / illustrator. I worked with him for a period and would place him more than anyone else I have ever met in the genius spectrum based on a number of factors. One of them is that I know that he can vizualize fully formed images, to the extent that some of his work is just transcribed directly from what he sees in his mind.

I have never been able to do anything close to this, and similarly have self-diagnosed as much weaker in this "power". I mean I can visualize things in my mind but it is fuzzy and fleeting, like focusing on any detail collapses the field of view.

This episode of radiolab about a musician who can maintain a 3d mental image of four orchestras playing at once always stuck with me, and seems relevant to this topic:

I've often considered building something like this, but shy away each time when I remember that many brokers won't deal with you unless you're an authorized agent of the user you're representing. IIRC, DeleteMe works the way it does because it's actual humans behind the scenes doing a lot of the work.

Anyway, props on the launch, but it's ultimately a very sad indictment of our society that products like these even need to exist.
Put simply, Amazon is about more conservative values, meritocracy and getting things done. Google is about less structure, more politics, and more creativity.
Every posting about one of the larger scale companies have to have a “why does it cost x / take y engineers to run this thing?” comment. It’s like everyone at google / Facebook / Amazon are too stupid to realize they can run the entire thing out of a server in the basement maintained by 5 engineers.

If it was so simple to host Instagram for peanuts I wonder why no one has done it.

Seems like poor network architecture to me. The fact that you can misconfigure a firewall on a VM or server which in turn allows public traffic is pretty dangerous.

One thing I really want to do is work for a start-up with very few people so everyone gets to take care of one piece of the puzzle and no one is there to shoulder responsibility.

At the end I think ownership weigh way way much more than money and stability, even when I'm towards 40 and need money for the kid and house. With ownership you can really enjoy your work instead of doing someone else's shitty work. And TBVH once you get enough ownership I think money is not going to be far from you. You can bag huge amount of experience in short time and sell it to whoever has the $$$.
Question: aren't lots of commercial buildings in the US built with steel (or aluminum??) studs? What are the advantages/ disadvantages? From observation, the metal studs are about the same size as a 2x4, but constructed like an I-beam, with open parts. I don't know how they're joined--bolted? Riveted?
Good call, though these can also be modded to be louder. A newer scooter is really not bad.

Here in CA, cruisers seem to be the loudest, but spot bikes are not far behind.
It's already dangerous because those chunks of concrete can fall on people or cars.
The only superior alternative is robots and UBI. And it is inevitable. Deliveries can be done by wheeled drones, and drones are cheaper.
Honest questions:

Do people with Aphantasia dream vivid dreams with images?

How about masturbation without visual input? Are you not capable of visually imagining something arousing, like a person you find very attractive etc?

I don’t _think_ I suffer from it but would call the images in my head very clear or detailed or very accurate.
MySpace is alive and well! Come back to Tom!
I don't agree. The reason that average people eat average quality food is because they get paid average wages, not because they don't value the good stuff.

For instance, pretty much anybody will prefer high quality ice cream to basic ice cream, but the reason that basic ice cream still exists is because the fancy stuff costs 5x more.

The problem with making a "fancy" ketchup is that ketchup is a completely artificial food. The quality of a ketchup is in how balanced it is. And balancing a ketchup is a fixed cost not a marginal cost. Whoever makes the most revenue will have the best ketchup.
But you’ll restart with it in not-yet-lost-it state and will lose it eventually. There is nothing useful in /dev/random, really, apart from the entropy for crypto. Trillions of trillions of … of trillions unique virtual atoms of no particular value.
I understand what that argument is asserting and I'm sure that brands believe it, but as a consumer of YouTube content I just don't think it's true. I have absolutely no association between the YouTube ad that plays and the content of the video. Maybe children and older people used to traditional tv make that association? I just find the whole argument frustrating personally.

By claiming that the companies are colluding and have raised the price, the charge is leveled that the companies are behaving immorally.

When people learn that the "old insulin" and "new insulin" are completely different products and that "old insulin" is still available at a low cost, the narrative and goodwill is shattered.

People hate being lied to and they hate being manipulated.

If you want to have a discussion that we should make the "new insulin" available for at low cost of for free, that is great! We can talk about the cost to manufacture and to develop drugs.

There are many smart people here and around the world, when we put our minds to a problem, we can find a solutions.

But by not acknowledging and downplaying the time and effort that companies and people have put into the "new insulin", then you are cheapening the work they have done and are signaling to everyone that you would do the same to their time and effort as well.
Plexxi tried something along those lines. It was cool, but very expensive, so it didn't really go anywhere.
Not to be combative: It seems like you're implying that this failed because Facebook is powerful, but I interpeted this the other way around -- "Facebook is a popular blue website, and maybe did some stuff, but who cares? There are lots of websites."

I agree that if they brought the case they should have had an argument, but it's less clear that they should have brought the case, or that size was an issue.
I always thought my visualization abilities are pretty good. I can recall people's faces pretty well, along with their posture and gestures. I can imagine 3D shapes and rotate them and fit them together. I can visualize different shades of colors.

But this blinky screen plus white noise gave me nothing after 5 minutes except some slightly brighter and darker areas, and I aborted. <Hercules> Disappointed! </Hercules>
> To end this loop, lets just legalize anything that doesn't hurt others and let people decide what is good or bad for themselves

I used to think that but I don’t anymore. Not having your shut together and not being a contributing member of society hurts others, so drugs aren’t harmless. Drug users are people’s kids, parents, etc., who have responsibilities and often can’t meet them because of their drug use and that hurts people. And the ship has probably sailed on letting drug users die in the street if they need help so the cost of welfare and services are also a burden.

The real question to me is whether making drugs illegal actually creates more burdens than it avoids. I suspect the answer is that if the culture condones drug use, you’ve already lost that battle and making it illegal is pointless. Laws should help reinforce norms. If the norms have broken down, enforcement of the law needs to be too coercive to be feasible. For example divorce also imposes tremendous social costs, but we probably can’t fix that by repealing no-fault divorce laws.
So the park got cleaned up then?
since you brought up the supreme court I am going to assume you are in the US (correct me if I'm wrong).

We in the US like to plaster freedom everywhere. And it's FREEDOM this, FREEDOM that. But I'm sad to report most people don't understand what freedom means. Freedom means that you can do whatever the f you want, anything, as long as you don't impact other people. If I drink alcohol, smoke weed or do heroin or mushrooms, or like to bang my head against the wall - as long as it does not impact you you should not care about it. Period. That's true freedom.

When it comes to legalizing or forming an opinion about something IMHO the question should be: is this going to impact me? If the answer is not I believe that be default we should not put any gates or laws or rules in place.

I think the govn should step in only to regulate the quality of the product (ie: if you're gonna sell weed it better be weed, if you're gonna sell alcohol it better be alcohol etc) not to dictate what is okay to sell and what is not okay to sell.
I hate to say this, but almost anywhere in North America has the right weather conditions, and lack of local/state/federal funding models to cause this problem. I don't know enough about the south to comment, but I could believe MX and below have the same problem due to lack of capital works programs

I believe in the US governance space there was a proposal for a 10-40y roads and bridges reconstruction effort. I have no idea if it survived factional politics.
Yup, and then they take it down, but re-buy it from a partner next month. And that’s why this service is recurring. They all working together.
Most places have sound restrictions though, not the building or community but as a city ordinance.
Sounds like the turcot to me.
Hmmm. Imagine for a moment that someone argued: "this is such a cold winter! See, I told you global warming is a hoax!"

That would be laughable. Yet people have no concerns about cherry picking anecdotal evidence when they say "see, it's so hot today, that means global warming".

Tobacco is a sacred plant in some contexts, like in Native American ceremonies, where it's not used for its stimulant effects.

Cannabis too can be used sacramentally, spiritually, recreationally, or medicinally. It can be an appetite stimulant or a sex enhancer. Some can get insight through it, while others prefer to get so stoned they can't think.

It's helped me to reconnect with my feelings and motivated me to seek therapy. It can be a wise teacher if you listen.

Or you can watch cartoons on it and eat snacks..

The many uses of it are not mutually exclusive, but how you use it and what you get out of it is your choice.
> I agree about the use of cannabis but if you’ve ever lived next to a meth den I don’t think you’d see that and think, “we should legalize this.”

“Meth dens”, like “crack houses”, are a thing which prohibition may punish, but does not prevent, but instead creates.
It is. But people can adapt. Many people these days grind up their oxy and snort it. Probably not a healthy thing to do in many ways, but still safer than injections. And definitely better than having used needles lying around.

Patches would also be a very viable option. My partner once received a fentanyl patch at the hospital for an injury. She later told me it was an instant trip to a very happy place, and she could understand why some would get addicted to it.
Hanlon's whetstone: Sometimes it takes so much effort to be stupid, the malice is implied. Just, not necessarily in the direction you think.
Totally agreed with this. MongoDB’s default security posture is ridiculous, and amazingly it used to be even worse.
is this causation or correlation? do you know potheads that are wildly successful? because I do. And it does not seem to be linked to weed
I don't have a source, but as a Dutch person: there is no legal way to actually grow cannabis in this country, nor to sell it to stores ("coffeeshops") that sell it to consumers. Thus all cannabis sold necessarily[0] comes from illegal growth operations, which is the kind of thing that's very lucrative for organized crime.

[0] if you want to be pedantic about it, owning up to 5 cannabis plants is decriminalized, but nobody is under the illusion that such personal use scale agriculture is fueling the commercial trade
Yes it's far too repetitive for more ambitious learners.

Also, all the delays/animations are really bothersome. If you set it up well, learning has its own rewards, so you needn't focus so much on gamification.
I used to work in an old building with six floors. The bathrooms were all in the common area hallways, only two stalls per floor. It was a challenge to find an empty one between 8-10am, running up and down the stairs frantically trying door knobs. You either got there early, or you waited and then suffered the smell of the last peoples’ business while you did your business.

Oh, the frustration of stealthily making your way to the hallway only to get stopped by a chatty coworker as your bowels begin to churn. The ticking of the clock as the sweat drips down your face. The movement of your coworker’s lips in slow motion as small talk pours out of their mouth while everyone else sneaks off to fill the bathrooms up.

Nah, can’t say I miss that part very much.
How much effort would you put into a major project if your boss had two weeks left on the job and your new boss was likely to want a wildly different approach to the issue? And what if your outgoing boss was ramping up the pressure to finish it ASAP for personal reasons?

I think I’d understand if whatever you handed in maybe wasn’t your best work under those circumstances.
Well, you/one personally really can't worry about the structural safety of all buildings and infrastructure you're exposed to. You simply don't have knowledge, permission or time. That's why we need the system to take care of this and prevent such accidents from happening, as well as imposing general emergency safety in case of fire etc.. Otherwise, our current life would simply be impossible.
Robotizing Data Centers – tests [video]
Nonsense. If you know what you are doing, the feature automates things you know you want to do.

As several other comments point out, to setup your DB server so that one open port can expose it to free access from the Internet is incompetent on multiple levels.
Another plus about row/bike ergs is that they work even if the power is out.

A really good article about the very complex interactions in natural environments.

My mother is not going to set up a RSS feed for herself of a list of forums that interest her. She does know how to log on to Facebook and look at the feed.
That’s ridiculous curry smells amazing
if meth was legal and readily available, would you still have this issue? slap a big warning: causes death. Have programs in place to help people with addiction and let things work themselves out
They filed for IPO. If this goes through, the stock will likely be listed on some stock exchange, and a stock broker will facilitate your purchase of them.
Yes, but nothing explodes or breaks if they miss that budget. A single missed frame isn't ideal, but it's not considered a system failure.
Highly subjective article.

You should of course practice solving the kind of problem you want to solve or enjoy solving.

If you’re optimizing for an IC career at a large company, then you should of course practice that kind of work (and get mentored and get depth and everything the article says).

If you’re an engineer trying to transition to building businesses or being an investor, then you should of course NOT do what the article suggests. You should instead practice startup problems (probably at startups or by starting your own), like prioritization and resource allocation and networking.

And if that’s the goal, then you can easily find business mentors or startup mentors that will make an impact on your career, and what the article pejoratively calls “breadth” in software problems will actually turn out to be depth in business or startup problems (like prioritization and resource allocation and networking).

tl;dr – Sure, find mentorship and get experience, but make sure you articulate your goals first.
The problem with decrim is that it forces users to interact with criminals to get their fix.
I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. My fever dreams are distinctly different from regular dreams, but it is pretty impossible to explain. Sometimes my fever dreams involve innate objects that dwarf me in size, and I gradually seem to feel smaller. That statement doesn't quite catch it though.

But yes, I get the fever dreams.
Poor soils can be managed with good foundations. You can put a building on water with the right foundation design. In the case of an office, the safety factors in design are usually pretty high. I’m assuming soil sampling is for modified proctor density. Usually, the criteria for those are fairly arbitrary. Some soils are so sensitive to moisture content that density measurements aren’t very informative. Not blowing up a multi-million dollar construction schedule over a few mm of consolidation is probably a reasonable take.
It seems that the media is specifically targeting Amazon and and try to create a negative impression of it. It appears that left-wing journalists have quite a grudge against Amazon.
Saw or herd nothing. Haven’t lose presence. Only difference is now my eyes are tired, after looking at screen for 10 minutes without blinking.
Did anyone else go read the article to see actual train bridges? Like the kind the train drives across? Especially titillated because train bridges have been pretty train bridgey for the last +150 years and the promise of something new was exciting?

I feel dumb. And had.
The same control ARE applied to cannabis. You cannot drive high and claim you're not drunk. The punishment (at least in my neck of the woods) is basically the same.
Bring back menus, QR codes are terrible
The distinction you are going for doesn't matter to me

I can respect any organization or individual that plays the cards they were dealt

Here, they have an efficient innovation consolidation engine and political will and resources and are executing on it

Who cares what “they” - a private person or the government - invented. Its the actions that are important and interesting here.
This is the third YouTube related suspension I have seen in less than 4 hours. The last two that I'm aware of was posted here just recently. [0][1]

Don't you see the problem? Like I said [2] YouTube won't change and it will only get worse. 'The Algorithm' is the only thing that changes and it doesn't benefit the creator.
