This sounds very much right. Turkey's biggest problem with US, is that it doesn't know what trouble the Americans have with them. Every few years US politicians put something new on the table, and say it's a (new) problem.

Turkey is the biggest military ally USA have. Loosing it will be a "before, and after" moment for NATO.

Truly, USA's biggest problem with Turkey is exactly them being such a strong, and prominent military ally, throwing discord in US dominated bloc solely by the fact of its existence.

Points:

1. Turkey's ultimate political alignment is NATO

2. Turkey's current political position can be rationally understood, in comparison to more irate allies, playing their double, triple, quadruple games. It has tensions with NATO, and US, but not because its ultimate alignment, and commitment to Atlantic Bloc changed.

3. Turkey is a way more useful military ally US have than any EU NATO member. Both in military strength, and level of commitment.

4. Turkey is the sole country US can consider a real military ally among dozens of "ally" countries which USA buys with billions of dollars per year in defence aid: Saudis, Egyptians, Emiratis, Pakistanis, Jordanians, Israelis... they are all basically a $100B a year black hole for defence aid.

5. Turkey is the only non-white country with commitment to hosting American nuclear weapons, and other serious defence assets after South Korea, and Japan quit. This is currently American's sole proof of not seeking a "rich white world alliance" as its foreign policy vision — hugely symbolic.

Yes. Saint Pepsi killed vaporwave.
To be even more pedantic: there was a deal where Vivendi's games properties was merged into Activision, the combined entity was renamed Activision-Blizzard, and Vivendi got controlling interest in it.
Landlording is a weapon the property-owning classes use to get away with not doing anything. [1] It’s the same with the other type of property: intellectual property. Big companies buy patents and trade secrets to monopolize knowledge to starve the commons, imposing their non-modular single-use black-box products on the working class. Society would be so much more effective and beautiful if knowledge was free and land registries were 1000% more transparent (they should be completely open).

Is it really a democracy when only a small group of people have a bird's eye view of the systems and programs that run society? Does Bezos work 2,687,125 harder than warehouse workers? Fuck no, yet: “Bezos’ net worth is 2,687,125 times the median US household income and equivalent to 0.85% of US GDP“. Those numbers aren't even recent by the way, they're from 2018.

> Turkish MIT graduate who played a central role in the development

I am sure being Erdoğan's son in law helped more to obtain his position than being an MIT graduate.
Ruby has Sinatra, .NET has Nancy (which preceded Microsoft’s WEB API framework IIRC)
Vague article
Kodak matters? I figured they'd gone the way of RCA and Westinghouse
Jira to me is a mostly a tool for managers to coerce developers into a more manager-friendly interpretation of “agile” than anything else rather than something developers would use out of choice.

When you’re doing something for the sole purpose of keeping someone off your back about it then you inevitably half-arse it, so in reality we’re paying Atlassian a small fortune for nothing more than a wall of fairly bullshit estimates. Don’t even get me started on how slow and flakey the UI is on the cloud version, it’s such an intolerably poor quality bit of software to actually use as a dev. I’d be very surprised if Atlassian actually dogfooded the cloud version because it really is an abysmal effort.
Businesses shouldn't care about business they should only care about my own personal view point on politics.

Yeah, Hollywood is doing the same thing as Kodak. I don't have your will power though. I still watch movies, especially Marvel and Disney. But at least I admit it.

What pisses me off is a friend of mine who boycotted a company who supported China but then he still watches American movies. Like do you not realize the whole industry is sucking up to China? Either make a stand for real or don't make a stand at all, don't be a hypocrite.

*Obviously* you're not doing what my friend is doing. You're *Obviously* not a hypocrite. You must not watch any movies or TV shows at all.
> "Blizzard's reputation collapsed." The question is, did it collapse among a significant number of their actual customers, or did it mostly collapse among a vocal minority of Twitter and Reddit users?

I gave a hearty chuckle when I read that WoW players had staged and in-game protest as a result of this most recent fiasco. I can't think of a better way to signal that you have no intent take meaningful action.
Azerbaijan used both Turkish and Israeli hardware. Probably others too.

But the Azerbaijan/Armenia conflict is widely seen as a proxy war between Turkey and Russia. Israel will sell their drones to (almost) anyone, and they haven't been seen as particularly decisive in this conflict.

The Turkish drones have very different strike capabilities that are much newer in this field.
Archive.org will probably take a lot of stuff but they have to be very conservative about what they make available, due to their high profile. OP mentions the UTZOO usenet archives which apparently are no longer available there, likely because someone asserted a copyright claim.
This was after he finished his job. I assume he was spending a lot of time learning during those 7 years. Good on him tho.
You have to be impressed that a world famous guy with a huge bounty (25m) on his head and who was pretty recognisable (6-5 in a country that averages 5-5) took so long to catch.
Let's be real. First, HCQ and ivermectin will most likely be vindicated. You might not like to hear that, but if your loved one was ill, you'd want them to be treated by Dr. Varon using the MATH+ protocol that he's used to save many thousands of lives. The old, cheap medicines are being suppressed for legal and profit reasons.

Second, there are thousands examples of the MSM saying things that we later learned weren't true, but those videos won't be blocked, and those accounts won't be suspended or banned. On YouTube, you can say whatever trash you like if you're on the VIP list. If you're not on that list, telling the truth is no defense; if you contradict the official story and are getting any traction, you'll be squashed.
As someone who lost my beloved grandmother and an uncle last year to this virus (all overseas), and after watching my mother become a shell of her former active self after 2 bouts of battle with this virus (also overseas), I am very thankful that my State's government did not follow the approach of many countries overseas and actually locked us down.

As for the deaths you refer to, the great majority of them were in private nursing homes, regulated and administered by the Commonwealth government. Yes I'm very sad and angry that that happened, but my criticism is solely targeted towards the people responsible: the federal government, in particular the Minister for Health, Greg Hunt.

As for the mental health issues you name, yes it's very sad, and very tough, but pandemics have costs. No one is doing it easy.
Printers: a completely destroyed product. I gave up on printers over 20 years ago. They are shitty ruined products I do not waste any time on anymore. It's far easier to just have more screens than deal with the shit show called printers attached to computer networks failing to be a useful utility.
In 2008 when my kids went to VPK in Florida I was surprised to find out why they memorized words instead of learning how to read. The lady I spoke about this was a veteran teacher of 25 years. She said it was all BS and that a decade or two earlier they had used a book called ‘Learn how to read in 100 lessons’. With that systems, she said, they never had anyone fail. Every child that passed through learnt reading. She said it was like a miracle. But, at some point, the higher ups fell into the trap of having to introduce new regiments and systems because of ever changing fashions. They were forced to introduce silly approaches, changing them every few years, leading to kids suddenly unable to read. Whenever she met parents she would tell them about this book and everyone had success with it and was as shocked as I was how it worked and how it was missing from the school curriculum. I ended up teaching all of my children how to read with it. It’s one of the most precious experiences. They all learnt to read at a very early age. There are many stories like this about writing and early math. Many years later, I read the episode In Feynman’s book ‘Surely you must be joking’ on his encounter with school text books and his disappointment - to say it lightly. One great experiment I can highly recommend is collecting textbooks from the 20th century and compare the decades and (basic) skills taught.
Saturn has completed slightly more than an entire orbit in the time I’ve been theoretically designing a video game. Someday/maybe indeed!
Next you’ll be telling me to use a paper todo list and just bloody well get on with it! And you’d be right.
I'm dubious about the order of operations here.
A good cost/benefit analysis would have to include this. And yes, I personally think that the developed world can drive change in other countries, otherwise I wouldn't donate to an NGO that attempts to do just that (not for plastics though).

One problem is that what I'm saying could easily be framed as "white people telling brown people what to do", and then everyone would drop it like a hot potato because it smells like colonialism. So it's politically safer to stay in my lane and buy a MacBook pouch made from recycled PET bottles instead.

(What I agree on is that the developed world should not export its trash or otherwise sabotage foreign countries.)
Interesting, did you follow Twitter's recent acquisition of Scroll? They might be moving into this space themselves.
Vaporwave is anything but dead - it's been completely absorbed into mainstream aesthetics instead.
I have a friend that previously worked in the industry fir several companies, including Blizzard and Activision proper. The stories are indiscernable. The industry itself treats enoloyees like chattle because there 10 people waiting fir the opportunity to be exploited by their favorite franchise.
The campaign took a different focus on each parts of SC2. I personally enjoyed this, and thought it was much better than a much shorter storyline crammed into one game (or alternatively a delay of several years before release).

IMO SC2 was a great success, but it feels like they are no longer giving it much love because it’s not a recurring revenue driver for them :(
I’m surprised no reference to:

They have no buyer protection at all? A jurisdiction which breaks the assumption you are sold working objects is a problem, I suppose.
Can someone who has read the whole thing spoil it and tell me how someone illiterate wrote a big, long article for the BBC?
That is where it really stands apart- while it can get hyper-specific, its consistently mixing novel content types. Some has appeal based on a look-alike type of matching, others to general appeal, and more still to new and small creators. Once it has a sense that you're in a session you're not likely to abandon it takes greater risks on trying fringe content. Let me put it this way: give it a solid 2 weeks and you'll start discovering new parts of yourself.
HTTP/1 is deceptive, because you think "oh, I'll just read RFC 2616, make a state machine, and I'm done!". But then writing a browser-compatible HTTP/1 client is a whole another bag of problems that weren't even documented until recently.

For example, Content-Length isn't just a single header with an integer, like the spec says. You need to support responses with multiple Content-Length headers and comma-separated lists of potentially contradictory lengths, and then perform garbage error-recovery the way Internet Explorer or Chrome did. Getting this wrong will make your client hang, consume garbage, or allow response stuffing.

This problem does not exist in HTTP/2.

Semantics maybe, but if you ask the FDA they will say the vaccines are not approved.

Look at the package insert for Pfizer: "FDA has authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19
Vaccine, which is not an FDA-approved vaccine."

This study was very well done, the people on the study very well regarded in the field; I believe the results. That they found the most shrinkage in olfactory regions is consistent with one of the most common symptoms.

As for whether this is a matter of degree rather than kind, there frankly have not been enough studies done of pre-post illness, and there should be. I know that depression is common in cases of severe pneumonia, and maybe there is a loss of gray matter in those cases too.
I wish there was a way of giving objects that are now digital, with the same tactile pleasure. Like perhaps some of your friends, I also resent being given physical books: I travel too much, where do I put them? My kindle is so much more convenient. But giving a digital isn't very pleasurable, and you can't easily (if at all?) gift kindle books you have purchased on your account.
There's a difference between being paranoid and not willing to risk it. You don't actually know which it was asking for, being that the access controls aren't fine grained enough is the problem here.
Hm, in that case, where does the research bias come from? What's the selection procedure for test subjects? Why does under-represent dark-skinned people?

"Racism" is a word with a wide range of meanings, from deliberate discrimination based on a consciously held world view at one end of the scale to subtle unconscious prejudice at the other. By the latter meaning, racism by definition involved in the causality chain anywhere that a racial group is statistically underrepresented.

All that being said, as a layperson, I find it perfectly possible that pulse oximeters are simply inherently more difficult to calibrate on dark skinned people. The article didn't outright say there was a systemic error in a particular direction, only that accuracy was a problem. It may be that a best-effort attempt was indeed made on an appropriate range of demographics, and this is simply a limitation of the technology. It may also be that this could be fixed with sufficient research, but racism means it's less of a priority.
> I hate being trapped with rude people talking and using their phones during the movie.

FWIW, it's not like that in France, Sweden, Belgium and Japan, to cite countries where I've been to the movies.
Financialization also created the thing.
It's absolute insanity. One thing we know after 1.5 year of dealing with this is that outside in the sun is the least likely place one would catch the virus. Yet they are forcing people to stay locked in, not get sun, no gym, order eat out food and stay away from society. This would have been a perfect opportunity for governments to encourage healthy living, eating healthy, exercising, losing weight, doing cardio, going out and getting sun etc but they did the exact opposite.
I do have a list, but it's not one I'm planning to go public with.

As far as I can tell, no measures exist:

* It's perfectly legal for most government employees to lie.

* Academics can lie so long as they don't engage in research fraud as defined by the OMB, which is a rather complex line. Most can find ways to lie without coming close to that line, and when they do, the punishment is a slap-on-the-wrist.
You can code in any programming language you'd like to create your project, so long as the language is part of the Debian/Ubuntu or Arch package repo (or one of the language-specific repos, like Rust's cargo). Please limit build steps of the project to three or less steps.
I see. Though you still need a way to prevent rogue actors exploiting or gaming the system. The popularity (on chain) has no meaning if it's trivial to grow it (see google's page rank), or if it's not transparent where it's coming from (for example I would not trust a bitcoin address if I knew its inputs are coming from criminal activities).
If being authoritarian means being horrified at US school shootings and making sure we have sane gun laws so that doesn't happen here, or being horrified at the costs of the US health care system so making sure we have an effective insurance system that covers everyone for free, then yes, as an Australian, I'm quite proud of being authoritarian.
Put a self-inflating armband around your upper arm (like those in blood-pressure meters), let it inflate without anyone noticing, and the pulse in that arm will disappear.
The causality is backwards here. He achieved his position first, became the CTO of probably the most important Turkish tech company and then met Erdoğan's daughter.

What is a good resource to learn modern git properly? I have been using git for 10 years and get around with a really small set of old commands.
> Some places like Okinawa and Kamakura beach are generally cleaned

As for Okinawa that seems to depend on the island. When I was there some years ago, many beaches on the smaller islands were covered in trash (mostly of Western origin – one could often still decipher the letters on e.g. beer and shampoo bottles).
> We get our news from reddit, YouTube, and tiktok.

We are doomed.
There is a long-running debate over whether it is ethical for printers to be attaching this information to documents without users knowing. In fact, there has even been a suggestion that it is a violation of human rights and one MIT project has tracked more than 45,000 complaints to printer companies about the technology.
Canon copiers and printers in early 2000 could scan and print Indian Rupees, dont ask me how I know that.

I assume the note needs to have the euro constellation, if its not there the copier/printer would work normally.
He did learn to read and write eventually.

Of course. We’d only ever censor the news organizations that are really wrong.
> it's not really feasible for them to receive a megabytes-large CSV of data in whatever format Amazon decides to provide, and then transform that into the necessary format

okay yeah you're still describing Article 20:

CMYK processes can also do “rich” black, which uses some or all of the other inks in addition to black. The result is darker than black ink alone.

Oh interesting. I didn't realize Vivendi was still involved. I thought they sold the games department to exit the industry but I guess it was the opposite.
That was fun. Thanks!

Off to shave my head...
Normally, that's a recipe for cronyism(like with the other relatives of Erdogan) however in the case on that son-in-law, the situation is not so bleak, at least for Turkey.

The guy graduated from Robert College, which is an American established school in Istanbul with a historically exceptional education and high standards to get in. Later he graduated from Istanbul Technical University, which is 250 years old ivy league university, one of the best in Turkey - again high requirements to get in and famous for being hard to graduate.

Then he receives scholarship from University of Pensilvania for his masters degree. The next school is MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) where he works on autonomous, aggressive maneuvering of Unmanned Helicopter Systems.

His father is an industrialist(Also an Engineer, who studied at METU - the other prestigious University in Turkey, which is founded with help from the USA), the founder of Baykar. After his studies he becomes the CTO of his fathers company, which again raises red flags but under his watch the company actually gets transformed into one of the leading companies in military UAV.

Later in 2016, he married Erdogan's daughter. A strategic marriage? Who knows, but that's way after he becomes an accomplished engineer.

There are early videos of him workings his ass off as if he is in a SV company. When Turkey fails procure foreign made UAVs, Turkey partners with Baykar and the guy actually works on his R&D in the remote parts of the country at the front lines together with the military personel.

When Turkey engaged in military actions in the past years, these drones actually proved to be very effective. Numerous Russian-made air defence systems were destroyed, making the headlines for being first.

Although I feel uneasy using this word for situation where human beings were killed, there was a constant feed on r/combatfootage of spectacular Bayraktar UAV footage engaging with enemy targets.

BTW, I find the guys political positions very repulsive. He tried to help his father in law during the elections and all his statements were hostile and divisive as of those of right wing extremists. Maybe he should focus on the engineering and get over all that Erdogan's son in law thing.

Also, I need to point out that he is not in charge of Turkey's drone R&D but CTO of only one of the companies. There are multiple UAV developers, private and state owned companies that has nothing to do with Bayraktar. They do higher end stuff or other kind of drones like kamikaze drones.

Turkey enjoys some rather strong technical talent in Ankara, the capital, where some of the best schools in the country are located. Ankara, having comparatively small population to Istanbul(6M vs 15M) doesn't have the best career opportunities as Istanbul makes it a hot stpot for hiring for the defence industry.

Unfortunately, due to the political situation in Turkey, a lot of talent is fleeing abroad. Last year it made it to the news when the Dutch ASML hired from the Turkish defence industry en mass.

That was what I was going to say.

Also, they don't actually build the thing themselves but rather buy all the parts. Not that any of it matters on the battlefield. Certainly not to their current enemies. They get blown just the same
There's definitely beauty in Lisp, for sure. I wish I could spend more time with it instead of Terraform and JavaScript, but at least I get to tweak my Emacs configs with it now and then :)
In theory there's no reason. Yet aside from Yifan and Polgar there is no women GM which could go toe to toe with the top male GMs. The same is true historically.

It is unclear why, this requires further research - the Chess world decided to just roll with it and have separate tournaments.
