Imagine being dumb enough to believe that PR campaign. If you actually believe that the spooks don’t have iPhone back doors after the PRISM slide leaks, I don’t even know what to say…

Just lol
I am 38 and some of things I started doing these things since last 2 years or more.

1. Increase the font size. Starting with having a zoom of 150%+ on most websites. For example, on HN its 170% and on Reddit its 150%. On Visual Studio Code, I started using 18px as the editor font size.

2. Night Light on Windows 10 and low blue light mode on monitor. It sucks on some websites, but I am used to it now.

3. Blue light filter on my Glasses. This is recent and it seems to help.

4. Simple eye exercises and 20-20-20 rule for eyes.

The danger I want to avoid is private citizens being targeted for supporting unpopular causes they, in good faith, believe in.

Politically targeted violence in America is now a reality and police and prosecutors look the other way depending on the politics of their masters.

Nintendo used to provide a Pro build of the latest Unity that didn't rely on your existing licenses in any way to function.

IIRC you could even use it to make a release PC game builds, but I'm sure Unity could figure out what you were doing if you actually shipped with it as a workaround for buying your own license.
It doesn’t take much for an American residing abroad to have complicated taxes. I work a salaried job and am trying to save for retirement and that puts me into the complicated bracket because of the rules on pension taxation in my country of residence vs the US. Our options for investment are very limited, compared to every other resident of the country. My local brewery was doing a grassroots investment campaign and I couldn’t even buy £20 worth of shares to support them because as a US person that was forbidden.
H2 is a jdbc only in-memory database, so that's only an option for volatile data from/to Java.

That reasoning is precisely why we switched form Autodesk 3ds max to Houdini. And then we were positively surprised by its power and have never looked back.
>on the lower end of the privacy-violating spectrum

I think that's the thing, privacy minded people want solutions that aren't on the spectrum at all.

I can come up with some solutions for greatly reducing CSA that are really low on violating parental rights but they have little chance of gaining support because the only solutions people want are the ones that don't violate parental rights at all (except when parental rights have been suspended due to evidence of CSA being found).
The problem isn't paying tax, it is

1) filing, which is enormously complicated, and
2) severe restrictions on what financial services you can access.
That he demonstrated that those agencies were actually doing the things people said they would do, while being defended by people who used arguments quite like gp comment.

I used the word "Snowden" not to refer to him, but to the event. Why? Because I didn't want to type the three letter keyword into my comment. Which is an example of the chilling effect these activities cause.
it's the attitude that's the problem. Rolling your own terrible solution without asking someone or just googling first.

All of them.

I am honestly not debating any issue with you. I was pointing out that the statements you have made in posts above are supported, in those posts, by nothing more than your assertions. They are in effect tautological, nothing more.

While you propose some good points that would otherwise be interesting to debate, without supporting evidence these points are nothing more than strongly held opinions, cleverly defended. In this case, there is nothing to be gained on either side through the debate of opinions- other than satisfaction from preening in the light of one's intellect or the presentation of a clever argument.

I'm not strictly against this if it can effectively help protecting children (which needs completely separate discussions of course). But Apple's usual privacy/security PR masquerade doesn't seems very compatible with this, especially with the sentence "These efforts will evolve and expand over time".
FACTA

Rouge state that is using its economic might (and implied brute force) to bend foreign banks to their nefarious will

For one thing they are cornering the market on industrial scale money laundering. Making American states the last place standing where unattributable companies can be formed.

End of empire - a dangerous time.
Being a citizen of Cyprus gives him visa free travel and work options in Europe. As he hasn't renounced US citizenship, he certainly isn't taking advantage of that for tax reasons. The article seems to imply otherwise, but that's basically what bad journalism is... strongly suggesting an incorrect interpretation of facts while still "telling the truth".
Unreal Engine does revenue sharing and the whole engine is free to use for anyone wants to. IIRC until certain amount of money Epic takes no cut from the sales. That’s a million times better than what Unity is doing.

That's a paper from 2014 with different authors
There's a decent bit of optimizations that sqlite can do by virtue of effectively being single-writer that postgres can't without compromising a lot of other workloads. That's e.g. one of (but not the only) the contributing factors to why the per-row overhead in sqlite is smaller than in PG. And of course something like PG won't be embeddable into the address space of an application, which invariably leads to higher latency (even if it still can be low).

WRT "embeddable postgres":

Postgres relies on having multiple processes that collaborate on making database access fast. And it requires there to be only a single instance of postgres that can access the data. There's some inherent increase in difficulty of embedding something like that compared to something with sqlite's architecture.

Until recently PG didn't have a way to provide non-tcp access on windows, which made embedding on windows a bit more problematic. But since Win 10 unix domain sockets are available on windows, so things have gotten better.

I'd guess that after that the fact that a postgres installation consists out of many files, instead of a shared library or two, is the biggest difficulty. Those files are relocatable at least, but it's still far less convenient.

I don't know how much of a relevant factor the layout of the "data directory" is - for some database embedding scenarios it sure is convenient to only have to deal with a file or two. But moving a directory around isn't that much harder...

My guess is that somebody with interest could improve the situation measurably within a reasonable timeframe...
Not where I live. The trash from encampments is pulled up and down the shoreline (tons of bird and other life) with every tide. It's noticeable.

Tons of plastic in ocean for sure, but less noticeable unless you are in asia where the rivers and coastal areas are crushed with trash at times.

It's just weird our focus is on a plastic straw being disposed of in a restaurant. I mean, the amount of plastic bags in the shipping boxes I see on my street each trash day - mindboggling (airbags amazon and others use).
Was there big money donors for the 60’s civil rights movement? I don’t think it had billionaire backing but I might be mistaken.
> That's fair. A point that I didn't see mentionned is that what seems really easy for you may not be for others. I know about boolean logic, and bits, but I'm not comfortable with bitwise operation and they certainly don't seem obvious to me.

....how in the world can that be? Bitwise operations are just the application of boolean logic to each pair of bits in the arguments. If you know what "exclusive or" means, XOR should be perfectly comfortable to you no matter how many bits are involved.

Yeah, every Linux distro is just terrible now because of the Linux kernel monoculture.

Chromium is ~5 million lines of open source code. That's so unwieldy and impossible for anyone but Google or Microsoft to maintain right?

Meanwhile the Linux kernel is ~28 million lines.

Oh wait, there's also a Brave. Didn't they announce that they will not implement parts of Chromes manifest v3? Crazy how Google has so much control over open source code.

The actual title is "Observation-based early-warning signals for a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation."

The performative stuff has to stop. On the one vacation I am doing since this pandemic began, I saw a place in Northern Italy give out paper straws enclosed in plastic wrapping. You have to be kidding me. It’s missing the point and greenwashing at its finest (unrelated to climate).

You’ll meet plenty on the left, especially scientists, who are in favor of nuclear. Where I live (Switzerland[0]), the biggest NIMBY against nuclear are the provincial nationalists who are going nuts about installation of a subterranean disposal site in their area (proposed because it is the most suitable site due to geological properties). My turning point with nuclear was about 15 years ago when learning about thorium. Very eye-opening.

[0] - To the grandparent comment, natural born American who spent most of the adult life and all of childhood in the States. Emigrated a decade ago and still keep close tabs. This post is giving me serious flashbacks to the 1992, when Bush called Gore “Ozone Man”. Was that a genesis of the contrarian political differentiation?
I don't think this answers the question.

Is there actually a guide showing anyone having been able to click build in a recent version of Unity and run the output on a PS3?

Because I'd be shocked if that actually worked, back in the PS3 days I'm pretty sure Sony was shipping modified builds of Unity just like Nintendo
After seeing the global chaotic response to COVID I'm convinced that climate change will not receive a meaningful response until it is way too late. It apparently needs to hit the majority of the planet right in the gut (and then preferably the wealthy part) for people to get off their collective asses and do something about it.

I'm just about ready to pack it in and hope the next generation is smarter than this one because we sure messed it up. We'll go into the history books as the people that could have fixed it but didn't because we were too busy with our lifestyle.
Nuclear power is needed everywhere. All major grids. And all containerships.

Amen.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.
Apple always has the decryption key for your iCloud data. When law enforcement requests an account's data, Apple decrypts the data and sends it over. Apple's law enforcement guidelines[1] explain:

> iCloud content may include email, stored photos, documents, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, Safari Browsing History, Maps Search History, Messages and iOS device backups. iOS device backups may include photos and videos in the Camera Roll, device settings, app data, iMessage, Business Chat, SMS, and MMS messages and voicemail. All iCloud content data stored by Apple is encrypted at the location of the
server. When third-party vendors are used to store data, Apple never gives them the encryption keys. Apple retains the encryption keys in its U.S. data centers. iCloud content, as it exists in the customer’s account, may be provided in response to a search warrant issued upon a showing of probable cause, or customer consent.

This happens to thousands of accounts every year.[2]

This scares the heck out of me too. It just seems like such an obvious next step.

"Oh you run linux? Do you not trust the government, or are you trying to hide something?"
Their are claims of concerns about carbon emissions, but absolute opposition to any work around nuclear. If carbon emissions was the or a very important issue, you'd be going full out on lots of ideas.

It's a lot easier to find fault in a point-source danger in your back yard (even if the actual risk is low) than to be afraid of a much more diffuse danger will likely kill more people, but probably not you.
Serious question, what benefits do you think US citizenship and US embassies provide over and beyond what pretty much every other western country provides to their citizens?
Yes. I absolutely do think that.

Companies holding interests in copyrighted works would love to see general purpose computers go away, replaced by "trusted" media players that can't make unauthorized copies or be used to make unsanctioned independent creative works.

Totalitarian governments would love to take away general purpose computers to prevent end users from removing surveillance and anonymity.

Companies who want to control software markets would love it if all software licensing transactions ran thru their "marketplace".
The PhotoDNA platform doesn’t offer the participating organization raw photos, just hashes. The AI part is stitching photos with matching edges together, incase someone cropped them into different parts.

Again, Apple nor any company, have access to the source data, just hashes.
Sure. Yes, I was assuming a US citizen/resident working for an employer who has income from a few basic sources and is taking standard deduction--which actually describes a lot of people. (And I was mentioning 1099s mostly in the context of a brokerage account.)
Just like you say companies have to accept remote because it's hear to stay, some people are going to have to accept normal is going to return because, like you say, covid is hear to stay. Sorry, but if every day is anm state of emergency then no days are.
There are definitely many trade-offs with using a circle pack layout - I snuck a bit of the reasoning into the collapsed section halfway through the write-up! Overall, this layout worked best for me, with the nesting feeling very natural and the circles feeling very "atomic".

But big picture, this write-up isn't tied to the current visualization! It's more focused on exploring _how_ a visual representation could help our understanding of codebases. There are tons of jumping off points, including different vizes!

Even more reason to avoid them i guess, if there hardware is as closed ecosystem and useless to those outside it. At least before they shipped good hardware for multiple contexts, but perhaps those days are gone.

In a strict legal sense you're correct. But I think in practice there are a lot of "loop holes". A few are:

* donors are not anonymous but pacs aren't required to reveal them until the quarter after their donation, often after the end of the campaign. Even then a donor can create an anonymous llc and funnel the money through it to hide their identity.

* "Super PACs" are meant to be issue based. But your "issue" can simply be "elect candidate X".

* Super PACs can't coordinate with candidates. Unless they do it through the media. And SPAC staff can and do routinely meet with candidates to... Not coordinate. The SPAC to elect Mitt Romney was controlled by his family lawyer for instance. They mett regularly to... Not coordinate.

This is the system Citizens United and a few other cases give us.

I'm far from an expert. Maybe I've listen to too many conspiracy theories? I'd be happy to be corrected. But right now it seems pretty easy to anonymously drive a campaign and spend as much money as you like doing it. Ironically not even the candidate you support NEEDS to know who you are. Maybe Congress can find ways to make some of this work in practice without a major change to the 1st? I don't know.

I take your point about the risk of falling into the trap of "more is more", but we're not talking about how to build NAND gates - we're talking about how integers are represented by bits and how that knowledge can be leveraged. For instance, if the author of the code showcased in the article had a bit more knowledge about how integers are stored internally, they would have realized they could have simply divided by 2^22 even if they didn't have access to a low-level bit-shift operator.
I did mean to generalize because I’m betting the majority of people do enjoy Netflix or similar platforms. However I guess some people didn’t quite get that when I said “they are fun!” I meant “they are fun for most people” so I apologize! (I would edit the comment to be more specific but I can’t anymore!)
I agree. What I saw with the mathematics students during our Bachelors (I did CS, so adjacent, but still far away) was that they would have a really hard time in the beginning coming from school, but after a few semesters they would transcend notations and it would then become mostly a thing of preference. The thing is that all of these guys were already really talented and engaged in mathematics, and it was still quite hard combined with the fundamental difference of how we do mathematics in university compared to school.
I had an office with a door for 11 years at 2 different companies. It was great. Then I had to switch jobs where we had cubicles but we worked from home half the time. My current job is all cubicles even for managers. People are always talking on conference calls the entire day. I have been work from home since March 2020 and I get so much more done.

We are planning to start 2 days in the office in September. I'm hoping it gets delayed. I would love to have an office with a door again but I'm just happy we don't have a giant table with an open floorplan like some of my friends.
Thank you for pointing it out, I had no idea but I'd happy to contribute on this one. There is indeed a decent korean natural language process engine but it's severely tied to own ecosystem AFAIK.
