>The USA created a democratic government in the hopes that the troops could be withdrawn and the local Afghan government would maintain its own affairs and keep terrorists from operating in its country

Lemme stop you right there. Even the idea of "voting" was foreign to them. You have to understand, we can provide security, but if they think democracy is stupid what do we do? Tell them democracy isn't stupid?

>There are many Americans that care that after 20 years the Taliban will take over again shortly after the troops are gone.

Yeah, No. I mean, psychologically it's weird to see the place we were at for 11 months get overrun by Islamists but at some point we've just realized that Afghanistan is their country. If they want to run it that way, with an Islamist political party running the entire government then that's their right. The US should stay out of it.
The Coliseum was used pretty much as a quarry for centuries: during the Middle Ages it was considered a symbol of the persecution of the Christian rather than an archeological site, as such it was OK to destroy it in order to collect precious marble to build churches.

Right now it's pretty much at the center of a roundabout...

There are lot of things in Rome that were studied and them left underground because it made no sense to expose them in a museum or just to the elements. The Coliseum, on the other hand, has always been above ground.
Apparently, it's an AI hype startup that fails to deliver. I'm not surprised because image to text AIs just aren't usable yet. But you would need them for making an image gallery accessible.

Putting aside whether it's technically possible, do you know if any groups are actually having good success with this approach (NNs on microstructure) in live trading?
If you screw it up with a building or a bridge, you might go to jail, and we as a society are fine with that. Why not in this case as well?
Let me guess the hackers are from and protected by a few rogue nations which MNCs love to do business with.

> I don't buy the argument that if not everyone uses it, nobody should get it.

That's not the argument. The argument is that for every N people who use the feature, X*N ( X>>1 ) will accidentally enable the feature and thus require an expensive tech support call.
It’s not about stopping the hackers from accessing the exchange, it’s about preventing businesses from being able to pay ransoms.
No. Buy you seem to think your policy buddies care about finding the right government structure. If they are true establishment and not just cogs they don't care about anything other than game theory and maximum extraction of value.
Then maybe look at https://lit.dev/ it might be perfect solution for you, stencil i've heard is also nice. Since its custom-elements you just add custom tags and they will self upgrade.
Thanks for pointing that out. I agree with your first point about the book deal.

On your second point, she has stated repeatedly and explicitly that her position is that she doesn't know what the origin of the virus is, natural origin is not ruled out either, and that all she is asking for is that both theories are credibly investigated, for example here [1]. Of course she talks a lot more about the lab leak, but that's largely because she feels this side has not been discussed sufficiently, which was certainly true until 2/3 months ago.

On your third point, you're right that she truncated the quote, but I think her interpretation is the one many readers would come to: "lab leak=conspiracy theory". The quote is dishonestly structured to start with, lumping together lab leak with 5G/Bill Gates silliness. It's the same mistake that the Andersen paper made lumping lab leak with bioweapon. I wouldn't count that as a win on either side.

Just a month or so after the attacks, one of our large government clients signed up to no less than three such vendors and deployed their products to almost all of their production servers.

I discussed this with their security team leads, and they answered with a straight face that it's okay because they had to spend their budget before the end of the financial year.
I'm not a combative, I've just tried to put the things in a more relatable perspective.

It is easy for persons with power (over other people or animals) to justify why the exercise of power is justified or moral. But if we would try to imagine ourselves in their shoes or hooves and being subjugated for extreme exploitation, than that could open a door for a bit of empathy at least.

For theoretical continuous/nonlinear/convex optimization, your #1 is the bible, together with

"Convex Optimization" by Boyd & Vandenberghe.

However, beware that both are grad textbooks. They can be tough going at times. Unfortunately, I never found undergrad textbooks I liked much, for theory.

If you're interested in discrete optimization too (the other half of math optimization), the classics are:

"Optimization Over Integers" by Bertsimas & Weismantel

"Integer and Combinatorial Optimization" by Nemhauser & Wolsey
UK companies act hundreds of summary criminal offenses covering all aspects of corporate responsibility for any director.

A 1977 case precedent established in the event that a director relies upon the advice of a accountant for making company directions, he or she will be liable to be banned from holding a directorship for life. The appeal failed. This is because the only essential role of a director is to be themselves a competent assessor of the company affairs.

If you can't knobble the board of a UK limited liability company for letting go their own primary competitive asset (the more important consideration for the law designed to govern the behaviour of directors in fulfilling two goals : justify public indemnity to the extent of any shares they own in the company in the event of collapse ; and do their job without prejudice to the shareholders or the crown treasurer to pay negligence.

Summary criminal charges are convicted on bringing proof and a judge not being shown disproof. Criminal intent doesn't come into it.
By using some of these tools they are under the false assumption that things that are otherwise considered security threats are somehow okay because for example the tool rotates passwords for you. It gives a false sense of security and allows you to do things that would otherwise be considered security threats.

It's as if someone sells you a laser that shoots intruders and tells you, you can leave the front door open from now on, but that laser only works 1 in 3 times.
> I really don’t want to have the government locking people up for being well-paid fuck-ups.

If you go to a doctor and he fucks up: he (or his insurer) has to pay you. If he really fucks up, he ceases to be able to practice medicine.

The same with nurses, lawyers, accountants, architects and other professionals.

Software's much better—then they point to the "we take no liability for any errors" clause in the contract and everyone carries on as if nothing ever happened.
I had a vm where attackers were always scanning the same dumb pages: admin consiles etc...

So I decided to mess with them: Give a plausible response, but send 1 byte per second. Or send a gz bomb. Or an infinite redirect loop.

The smarter scanners didn't fall for them and generally stopped scanning for a few days. The dumb ones believed everything I fed them, and their attack traffic multiplied heavily.
And with that I welcome you to the international union of communism.

Parrot Anafi AI drone’s 4G connectivity feature: innovation or marketing stunt?
Yeah, the real question shouldn't be whether something looks productive on the short term, but whether it has a good chance to help us move forward or not. Sometimes we move a lot... without going anywhere; and I don't think that's necessarily terrible, we can also learn a lot from it, but it definitely shouldn't be the only model. At some point you should be allowed to try to go on a long journey. Everyone needs to decide for themselves whether what they are making is relevant or not, and from there on we just need to trust people.
All of them were slaves, if they fought well they could buy back their freedom and become freemen.

The important part is that "they were not sent to die"

They costed a lot of money to their owners and matches were often just representations of battles, like modern wrestling, not real battles.

It wasn't uncommon to fix matches, they had to provide entertainment, not death.

But more interestingly, many gladiators trainers rented them to fight in the Colosseum and they had insurance policies on their lives, if the gladiator was injuried or died in the fight, there were penalties to pay.

Most of the games were paid for by low level politicians that wanted to make a name for themselves and rented the gladiators from the trainers.

Also the thumbs up/thumbs down it's also a myth, it never existed as a gesture, if the organizer decided to send some gladiator to death because the crowd asked for it, they had to pay the aforementioned penalties to the trainer.

Not surprisingly the organizer had the last word and often times they spared them.

Most of those that died were war slaves already sentenced to death.

It was games, like we intend them today, they also had a referee on the ground.

It was a very modern take on the matter at the times, to the point that we still use the same setup for sports entertainment.
Are you sure about that?

The customers who had experience with remote work and already knew that SW products would help them in this situation was a fixed number.

The number of companies who had no clue about how to do remote work, and after haphazardly had to switch to it may still have no idea that you need to use products provided by SW.

Also do you really need any of that to do remote work?

Of course not.
It doesn't work in Vivaldi on Android either. You have to download it and open it in Google Photos to see the difference (all other apps I tried work exclusively in sRGB too).

Please add an ATOM that connects to anything which allows for a decent Gantt chart. As an architect-come-product-manager, I really need visibility of a gantt to see where we are in a delivery cycle, against what your other ATOMs provide (issue tracking, PRs, etc). No tool comes close to offering this, especially when my team is tied to Jira. There are Jira plugins but they suck, there are calendar views but they suck, there are gantt tools, but they’re external to Jira/GitHub so break context when jumping between them, or require some browser-window-fu to lay out nicely on my screen. The latter is impossible with an iPad, and not great if I want to present either in a meeting or permanently on a wall mounted TV.

Also something that could maybe display some charts based off a JSON URL, that could be sweet for viewing data, and allow us devs to specify the data we want.

I’ve signed up for a beta so would love to give it a go.

I just received this email from Sendgrid:

Ahoy,

On June 18, 2021, Twilio SendGrid discovered that open ports on some internal hosts were temporarily exposed between June 15-18, 2021. Upon discovery, Twilio immediately began our security incident response process, secured the ports, and remediated the vulnerability that led to the exposure. We have thoroughly investigated this incident, and we are confident that the exposed data has not been accessed by any unauthorized actors.

You are receiving this email because you are a Twilio SendGrid customer and the DKIM key(s) used to sign your email were a part of the impacted system.

What do you need to know?

Data exposed include private DKIM keys. Private DKIM keys are used to digitally sign the email sent through your Twilio SendGrid account, configured through Domain Authentication. These keys provide a way for mailbox providers to confirm that the email was sent by you and not by someone trying to impersonate your domain.

What do you need to do?

While we are confident that this data has not been accessed by unauthorized third parties, in an abundance of caution, we are either proactively rotating DKIM keys on behalf of our customers where possible, or we are recommending that customers rotate their DKIM keys on their own accord.

For customers that have domain authentications that are exclusively enabled with automated security, we will rotate DKIM keys over the next 4 - 6 weeks. This requires no action from you and will not disrupt your email delivery.

For customers that have domain authentications configured with manual security, we recommend that you rotate your DKIM keys at this time.

Information about DKIM and how to determine if you have automated or manual security can be found here.

Sincerely,

Team Twilio SendGrid
Adelaide kind of has something like this: the city centre is surrounded by a ring of trees, which is in turn surrounded by a big road.
What would you rob from someone on the street, who isn't carrying any expensive item, especially no fungible ones?
In the past, there were often abductions for ransom. This has mostly stopped, as the police always got the abductors when they tried to collect the money.
At first I thought this is some kind of generic contributors driven sensor network for all kinds of data. I thought this might be really cool.

Let he who hasnt tried to slip it in raw while the groupie from last night sleeps cast the first stone.
I got a powder culture from Amazon because I am using raw milk and it would just not work with yogurt from the store. There are several different cultures available in 10 or 12 sachets and you might need a new one every 6 months or so. I tried a few different ones and I cannot feel the difference between them.
That has the risk of assuming an invasive species that has adapted well is native, further propagating the problem. A mixed approach would be ideal.
Veganism is not only related to food, it is conscious decision to lessen the unneeded suffering and exploitation of animals. Which includes using them for food but is not limited on food.

People on carnivore diet do not have that overarching ethical stance which guides their decisions.

So saying "people don't have to go full blast vegan" is not the same as "people don't have to go full blast carnivore" because people rarely go vegan because of the diet, they do it because of the animals.

Doing it only because of the diet would probably be called "plant based" eating now a days.
Interesting! I wonder how it would work on other kinds of data. For example, take a checkerboard image, rotate it (by, say, 15 degrees) and then seriate the result. What will it look like?
A modern open source web based email client to have an alternative to Outlook, Gmail and the like. It should also have calendar integration an the possibility to use an existing address book.
I agree. It seems to me that even after the allegations against Assange were proven wrong, people still refuse to accept his innocence in this case and try to find something else to blame him for. As when you're proven wrong in an argument and then try to defend your ignorance with a fallacy; "yeah you're right about this problem, but you still smoke weed and voted for Trump".
Such a front exists, but problem is there's a big discontinuity at one round trip. If you add 2-4 extra us, you need a sizeable edge advantage to justify that.

The it, in "they could have fixed it," was referring to the unique interface of the client. Which I do believe could have been standardized, at least to a larger degree than it was.

Sorry you got drawn on a goose chase.
I've been hearing the "we're headed for a crash" thing with the same logic since at least mid-2019. Either we're not heading for a crash, or the market has become so irrational that it doesn't even matter any more, and we can build castles in the air forever.

BSL4 or not is not really important anymore, as Dr. Shi did her experiments in a BSL2 lab. From the article:

"Unnoticed by most, however, was a key difference that significantly shifted the risk calculation. The Chinese work was carried out at biosafety level 2 (BSL-2), a much lower tier than Baric’s BSL-3+."

BSL2 is not much more than "wear a lab coat".

So the nicest BSL4 lab does not help if you do not use it.
We have operating systems for which remarkably few known exploits have ever been found.

VMS now "open" and recently running in a VM on Xeons.

I have always suspected that the silence that resounded suddenly about security prowess of VMS coincided with the release of extensive POSIX compatibility layers and the vaunted ports of years old open source nix wares as a excuse to play buzzword bingo at that time. But anyone writing a native VMS application I'd firmly embraced by a deep architecture designed to provide accounts for the time when DEC silicon and their own leading fab was creating a explosion in processing power and the number of users capable of being supported by a OS that has still incredibly well integrated system programming tool chain languages including Digital BASIC that can do about anything BLISS can low level. This virtually (sorry) made it a overnight imperative to get the security right and tight. Alpha had hardware security rings almost certainly to give VMS the chance to serve the maximum number of users and steal account wins.

Rome was an empire that extended from Atlantic Ocean to the middle east, from England to Egypt, it wasn't just Rome.

and existed 2 thousand years ago, one would think that we learned something during the looooong period that separate us from ancient Romans, don't you think?

Why don't we look at modern times with history eyes as well?
Tbh he and his ego (and probably mental problems) did it to himself.

He hid out in the UK to aviod questioning in sweden because they were going to ship him off to america. This would be a legitimate concern if the UK were not the worlds most agressive at shipping people off to the US to 'face justice'. He was actually at far greater danger in the UK, which he had to know because he leaked the UK role in the extrodinary rendition programme, than pretty much anywhere else in the world.
Russian state getting blamed for it in 3, 2, 1...

I don't want world War 3 over stupid ransomware because of bad sys admin work and some stupid criminal groups.

We should stop with this blaming. It is in Russia and other states interest to stop the ransom attacks even if they may be coming from some small group of people in their country. They have just as a hard time finding these criminals than we do finding them in the US.
In the context of discussing the value of the colosseum I used the wrong word here.

The simple remark that started this was just someone expressing wonder over how many people must have died there, purely for the entertainment of the masses.

The point that zzzpaz appears to make is that we should be ambiguous to anything that happened in the past, because at the time those things were commonplace.

Surely there is some better word that covers both the amazement about countless colosseum deaths and feeling resentment towards modern day atrocities, but I can't think of one. The fact that these things are not really connected is actually the point I am trying to make.
Lit elements looks nice and it's good to see first-class support for WebComponents. I'm just a bit concerned about having to write declarative HTML in JavaScript functions. Mixing declarative and imperative code can lead to some unwieldy templates so I prefer am approach with minimal templating enhancements sprinkled into standard HTML. What would be an approach, similar to Vue, to enforce the separation of imperative business frim declarative layout definitions using LitElement, Polymer, or similar WebComponents frameworks?

People shouldn't go to prison for being fuck-ups.

Those negligently responsible should be fined and go to prison for leaking private data, endangering physical safety, possibly for compromising national security, damages from the toxic sludge they produce etc.

Note that the US does deploy it's national security forces to fix some of those fuck-ups, and at least threatens to use physical forces, so it's not just a private or civil matter.

There's nothing urban about a muezzin's call to prayer. Muezzin's call to prayer everywhere in the country.

The quip on 'Sunni extremism' sounds like barely concealed racism. And this has aged very poorly or is woefully uninformed since the Taliban captured Ishkamkish recently and captured 5 more districts in Badakhshan this week!
