Because I'm summarizing. Go pick up a Financial Times.
I think it's an incredible bargain to be honest. Everything is really well produced and the content is top notch.

Thomas Keller explaining his techniques is more than worth the entire price.
Well if your Krav classes include live sparring (not point or light sparring) then it's going to be more effective than the classes I have observed. And that's kind of the issue with Krav, maybe you'll learn some useful techniques and maybe your classes involve sparring, but there's no guarantee. And if you do have sparring it just ends up looking like poor boxing and BJJ. Why not just learn the real thing?

At the end of the day, of course techniques matter, but it's far more important that your martial art incorporates LOTS of live sparring. It needs to become second nature to apply your techniques against live/resisting/struggling humans that are trying to apply their techniques on you. That is why wrestling/judo/BJJ/boxing/MT are so dominant in MMA, NOT because of the "rule-following" techniques they use.

If a guy who has spent his training learning "street" techniques that you can't actually spar with (eye/groin/throat attacks) had to actually fight someone who has spent his training applying "non-street" attacks live for hundreds of hours, it wouldn't even be a fair fight.
We do understand that the CLA will discourage some from contributing.

Audacity is transitioning from an entirely voluntary development team to a team of many engineers, designers, testers, project managers, and a product manager all working full-time on the project.

While we welcome and encourage community contributors to the project we anticipate that most of the contributions will be from the dedicated team.

MuseScore underwent a similar transition to where more than 85% of commits are now from the dedicated team, while the number and frequency of commits has also significantly increased.

We expect Audacity to be similar.
The idea worked for Instagram, where the aesthetic for regular posts ended up so forced nobody wanted to just make random everyday posts anymore.

For Twitter I didn't see the use, though posting a Fleet does bother people less than spamming, they're too hard to make without ending up ugly.

I'd rather see a change where the search doesn't let you stalk random people by searching for what they posted 3 years ago…
It’s time for fungi to admit their role in gut pathology
Arghh, they should have conviction and pushed this one through. The latest design wastes so much space.
That's not true. You might be thinking of the Missoula floods that carved out the channeled scablands of Eastern Washington. But the Grand Canyon's river is generally the same size it always has been, and slow erosion forces created it.
The original meaning of "...the pen is mightier than the sword."

The clause in the sentence before that part reads "Beneath the rule of men entirely great,..." It was referring to authoritarian government.
Platform shouldn't have the right to an opinion on content.

Same way that when you open a store you can't pick and choose your customers.

Platforms should just obey law and at most create a process where users and lawmakers can express and enforce their opinion on content.
It's a little bit different when it's outside the family, though. Inside the family, a homophobic parent might feel emasculated, or like a failure, if their kid turns out to be gay. But when meeting an adult gay couple at a social function, or working with a gay colleague, the same person will probably at least remain cordial, if not explicitly supportive.
Nova (PBS) had a show recently:

It highlighted a few Bay Area startups. Sounded like smaller commuter planes would be first. There were also hybrid designs, which reduced fuel use significantly.
You're welcome. Note that depending on the ride height this is going to be made worse as you get lower to the ground and you have even less time/space to react. Low racers are probably the highest risk category recumbent, both due to the (easily achievable) very high speeds and the fact that there is hardly any clearance at all between the frame and the ground.
> Smart pointers are a weird example because they're ancient.

I am an old man, and to me 2011 doesn't feel ancient, but fair. C++ 11 has unique_ptr and shared_ptr (if your library uses a previous generation of smart pointers you're in worse trouble than if it had raw pointers) and that's what you'd probably teach in class today.

> Also it's still completely normal to use raw pointers or references when a function doesn't care about ownership.

This is true. So you can't tell. And, with a different hat on it's also something that Kate Gregory has given talks about. As the new maintainer for several MLOC of C++ what can I conclude about this function that takes a raw pointer to a foo ?

Maybe, it just wants to look at a foo, immediately and then has no further interest in it.

Maybe, it will mutate the foo, immediately, and then loses interest.

Maybe, it will hang on to this pointer and use it later, who knows when. Thus, now it "owns" the foo, I hope it will clean up after it ceases using it because I can't now.

Maybe, I'm supposed to provide an "empty" foo and the contents of it afterwards are the primary result of the function.

Those are pretty different, so it's disappointing that we don't learn which it is from the function signature.
It looks like the issue was the amount of time that Google took to comply. Per the article:

> “With the historically high fine, the Higher Regional Court makes it very clear that court decisions must be observed without restriction, regardless of whether YouTube assumes a violation of its guidelines or not,”
to follow the example closer, you need to put in work every day, however small (continuous river flow), and that will carve the channels in your life (eh?) to enable the torrent of work that might come when conditions allow.
i think as we see crises accelerate, the only ones with true freedom to act and make the world they want to be in will be the nihilists.

everyone else is busy playing calculus looking for solutions that fit into existing logic and political economy, when the truth is that survival and creation irreducibly exist for their own sake.

bringing a child into a dying world might be the ultimate selfish act. it's also the only option that doesn't feel like suicide. and once they're here, there's nothing left to do but devote all your energy into making the world the best it can be.

i think this is what "family values" ultimately missed. family became the default, an inwardly-focused tradition and culture decoupled from praxis, and action was taken for granted.

Your eyes deceive you. Prior MacOS versions have more overall padding (50pt) but it's put entirely within the tab itself. The new tabs have some margin between each tab and a much smaller padding within tabs, for overall what looks to be ~40pt.

The new design sacrifices the 'X' hover-over on the left side of each tab, presumably in favor of an 'X' that overlaps the tab title.
It sounds a lot like what you're saying is "only christians matter", or worse "everyone should either be christian or pretend to be", because I can't see that working any other way. If jews go to temple and christians go to church, and muslims go to mosques, then they don't have to be exposed to each other's opinions. If jews and muslims pretend to be christian and go to church then they can't expose any opinions that go against christian worldview.
Definitely agree. Having worked extensively with some large banks I've found that they are absolutely cutting edge in technology in one area and one area only: credit card fraud analytics. That's because credit card fraud creates a material financial risk for the bank that they can't defer to someone else. Most other risks banks deal with are managed through complex financial hedging, government backstops, or insurance schemes and so they invest very little in doing anything "correctly". Rather, almost everything about banking compliance is driven by checkbox tickers and not by experts.

Headphones really are the solution. I used to have wired ones and these were quite uncomfortable to handle - cable messed up all the time, and even when you untangle them you have to avoid pulling it, so I used speaker most of the time anyway.
I finally bought wireless buds a year ago and I really understood why so many people have these and talk about it - it's just too easy

This is similar to my experience.

Part of the problem is, the entire idea of making the “next big thing”, which will make millions of dollars, in just 48 hours is ridiculous. Even just coming up with the idea is kind of a stretch, but making any sort of prototype and presentation which would seek this idea is very, very rare.

I like the concept of a “game jam” better, because then you’re just making games. Or something like that, where the entire goal is to make a toy project. But then it’s harder to get approval and/or funding, I guess.
except the car has multiple steering wheels, one for each passenger. final direction input is a black box convergence function across all of them.
> Europeans who live in major cities might enjoy their good public transport options, but in minor cities, towns and rural areas, public transport is crap to non-existent

I just opened up google maps, picked out two random small towns in Germany, and the driving distance between them is 200km/2hrs, while the transit length is 3hrs (with a transfer in a major city). Doing the same in the Northeast, one of the best areas for transit in the US, resulted in two towns 120miles/2hrs drive distance, and 18hr/6 transfers transit distance. So yes, a car is more convenient in both cases, but transit is a competent alternative (which is what I said). France and Italy had comparable results to Germany, Spain did not. Germany, France, and Italy makes up roughly half of the EU population (add in Belgium or the Netherlands if you wanna be precise, they've got decent transit too).

> US has 800 cars per 1000 people, but Italy and Spain have 650/1000 and even Poland, which is significantly poorer than US, has over 700 cars per 1000

You appear to have taken this article [1], and picked out the top three EU countries.

> In Europe, car ownership is only slightly less of a necessity than it is in the US, and I think if you look at the data that measure cars not per capita, but per household, the gap in car ownership between US and European countries would be even smaller.

"Owning a car" is not the same metric as "Needing to own a car to do literally anything because there are no alternatives". Germany, France, and Italy all rank higher than the US in annual passenger-km's of rail travel, despite each having populations 1/5th to 1/4th the size of the US[2]. Or look up modal share by country for other info - there's no handy Wikipedia summary, unfortunately, but for example, Germany is about 30% transit commutes.

Those threats were never serious though, because YT is too big, but also because advertisers know they can advertise on certain subsets of content that is not offensive.
I have indeed been accused when I didn't agree with the objective harm caused. Thankfully, I typically didn't further escalate the situation and act like a jerk by denying their perception of the issue. Just because you don't immediately mount a fiery defense doesn't mean that you own their position, their feelings, or have to agree with them. This is emotional intelligence 101.

Typically a quiet, non-escalated discussion can help both parties feel better, clear up misunderstandings, and if apologies are merited (even from the initial accuser) they can be had. But only if you don't get someone's hackles up in the first place, or deny their right to air a grievance.

Again, the fact that you are already considering it a contest to be won or lost (or avoided immediately without discussion, which is a sure indicator to folks how much you don't care) probably says a lot about the lens you view the world through.

Referencing the connotation means that there is a general accepted usage, which is not the hyperbolic "didn't absolutely agree with their grievance" that the original post I replied to was making. In general terms, I think it has come to include unconscious manipulation in addition to the previous, narrow definition of conscious, machiavellian attempts to dispute concrete facts.
This is the hard truth. With a business and internal data, _especially_ customer data, you need to think of the liability if any of that data leaks or is accessed inappropriately. It will not look good in a lawsuit if a judges asks why data was so easily stolen and your response is that you didn't know some exploit was possible and didn't want to pay for experts to secure access to it. Managing certs, securing an internal network, etc. are just part of an ever evolving and changing security and threat landscape. You need to dedicate resources like time and money to constantly stay on top of it.
I have been a party to some discussion around the laws with mid level government officials and this was a bit like an episode of Yes Minister.

One of the government consultants spoke about "Data sovereignty". When someone asked what it meant he spoke for like 10 minutes without actually answering the question. "Data of Indians must belong to Indians", "Data is the gold of modern world" he then referred to various international reports without actually telling what those reports say.

"We must protect our citizens data" one official said as others nodded in agreement. What they imagined here (I think) was data sitting on a hard drive and protected by people with guns creating a parameter around it.

The files of these regulations moved across many tables and many offices. I am told the real estate companies in India had a big role and influence on these regulations.

Yes, ultimately it is a ridiculous law that does not help anyone. It does not protect anything.
Nim to me is basically compiled Python. I really root for it, but it honestly hasn't gotten the traction it deserves
Both are instances of the state compelling a private enterprise to act in a way that is against the enterprise's interests.
I think the worst volume UI is the one on the Ubuntu machine i'm using right now. It's exactly like the volume UI on every other Linux desktop you've used, except that it doesn't actually change the volume.

You spin the wheel on the keyboard, and the overlay appears on screen to let you know the volume has changed. Or you pop open the menu and adjust it there. Everything looks good. But the volume doesn't change.

Because sometimes, the sound is coming out of the speakers, but the volume control is somehow attached to the monitor port on my microphone. So when you're adjusting the volume, you're adjusting the volume of that.

This is a corporate build of Ubuntu 18, so it's pretty ancient. If i boot into current Fedora - same hardware, same desktop environment - it works fine.
It is absolutely not a technicality for the purpose of this discussion, and I'd argue that it's actually imperative.

The US Government can not demand Twitter remove content (of US citizens) without violating their rights, which was implied by the actual article given that a large percentage of these requests came from the US Government. Conversely, Twitter can remove whatever it feels like without violating the rights granted to every US citizen. If Twitter is succumbing to US government pressure then we have the legal means to push back. If it is Twitter moderating content on their own volition, there is currently no legal means to do anything about it.

> And you are bringing something up that just isn't relevant at all, that nobody brought up, but yourself.

It's all over this discussion, not just this thread.
You can't mute anything in a link though, so it can't be used to block spam or people who reply to everything with their gofundme.
I guess we just have to agree to disagree. There was no benefit for them releasing the zero day.
By this standard, any social group is an echo chamber.
They're similar in an actual sense. The pretty little UI in front of us is a facade for the reality of events. Having a legal framework that rests atop the foundations of a delusion is absolutely something we should chafe at, and not just accept.

Our society needs to come to terms with the reality that you can not just "show" someone a piece of information such that they no longer have it. We can't "move" information such that one party now has it and the other does not. And we should not provide legitimacy nor legal protections to the idea that some byzantian DRM encryption scheme can "hide the message" from the person who is receiving the message.

All of these gymnastics just to fit old square ideas into new round internet holes. It chafes me and it should chafe you that we have wasted all this effort on delusions.
> may cause harm

Literally anything can be argued to be "harmful."
> They caved to censoring things that were reasonable, but now anyone can make them censor anything as long as they have some poltical power somewhere.

Can you define "reasonable" here in an objective way that we could all agree on?

There's no such thing as neutrality. Leaving up a popular anti-vax video is just as political a decision as taking it down.
It fills me with a deep sorrow knowing that I will never be able to visit Iran as an American. I don't know if it's just the "forbidden fruit" aspect of it or not, but it's my number one bucket list destination.
Banking is highly regulated, AFAIK the government even gets to audit you server deployment and security measures.

Nothing but yet another American company that would like India to behave like a colony.
I think that largely depends on where you are, and what the cultural norms are. I go out of my way to smile at everyone I see, and most people smile back, even if it takes them a double-take before they do. I'll never not smile at someone, because it's a known stress reliever to do so, especially when my smile elicits another's smile.
Never heard of all these services? How comes? It's like Poly that closed in June. Never heard of that until I heard it was closing:

https://blog.google/products/google-ar-vr/poly-browse-discov...

Is there a full list of active services provided by Google (or other big tech) somewhere?
No it's not? At least not raw Python. Python calling C, C++ or Fortan could be fast enough but not raw Python.
Or reverse causation, even... I've known more people turned alcoholic to cope with their christian family than people turned christian to cope with their alcoholic family.
Maybe I misunderstood your first comment. It appeared to me that you were criticizing the stimulus checks as a whole, rather than just the number or size of checks that were sent out. If we're only talking about changing the number and size of checks that were sent, I assume there was room for improvement.
I completely agree.

Unfortunately, this is the United States we're talking about. Not to be unnecessarily morbid, but I think if one is waiting for the United States to decide the atrocities of an economic partner justify ending the economic partnership at major domestic economic cost, one will be waiting for a long time. The last time the US did something internationally that caused major domestic pain was the Vietnam War. The lesson the country seems to have learned was that it was not worth it. All subsequent international interventions have either been massively asymmetrical power situations or low-domestic-cost affairs.
