AMD Ryzen 7 5700G: first impressions on Fedora 34
Wow.

Patronizing: you know what's patronizing? The notion that this kid simply doesn't understand the realpolitik. Of course he does: it just punched him in the face. He's fighting it. I respect him for that.

Infuriating: you know what's infuriating? The person who claims to share the values this guy is standing up for but can't stop trash-talking him.

Naïveté: you know what's naive? Thinking that rolling over and accepting realpolitik bullying is going to make things better.

La-la land: you know where that is? It's right between cynicism and self-loathing. Of course things can get bad here! That's why we need to fight whenever they slide in that direction! Of course the West isn't a bastion of moral purity above all reproach! That doesn't excuse China's behavior, it doesn't make them the lesser evil, and it doesn't mean they aren't worth fighting!

Stop navel-gazing and stand up for what you believe in. At the very least, cheer on those who do.
Because it’s bad for privacy.
I compared US' __police__ spending of $100 billion, to the __military__ spending of other countries.

I assume you missed that. The comparison is not between militaries, but US' police vs the military.

:facepalm:
Why would you look at just the lot sq ft and ignore the house or other factors?
I'm a bit conflicted on this story for the same reason. One the one hand I agree what happened to him was horrible, but on the other hand it's almost to be expected. The kid was enrolled in a Chinese university and decided to criticize the CCP on the internet under his own name. So yeah what happened to him was horrible, but not unexpected.
This is a load of bs. This whole post is about chinese politics yet you complain about calling out india’s similar policies.
I've come to like a cleaner separation, so I would reach for things in the order of function, interface and then subclassing as the complexity demands it. The downside is I've had a hard time with type hinting and enforcement on callbacks in Python. Ideally I'd like to register a function with a decorator (like in "language integrated registration" or "language integrated declaration") and get highlighting/prompting in PyCharm.
One theory is that they are getting ready for E2E encryption of iCloud photos. Apple will have zero access to your photos in the cloud. So the only way to get the authorities to accept this new scheme is that there is this backdoor where there is a check client-side for sexual predator photos. Once your photo pass that check locally, it gets encrypted, sent to the cloud, never to be decrypted by apple.

Not saying it will happen, but that's a decent theory as of why

Was about to comment the same. I had a severe headache this week, the second headache episode for this year. It's not chronic so it's off-topic, but I was wondering if the reason headaches are not catalogued here is because pain management clinics don't handle them.
> A recent survey conducted by Abacus Data for Medical Cannabis Canada found that those who access medical cannabis legally pay on average 34 percent more for their medicine than if they bought from the unregulated market.

I’m unfamiliar with the weed market in general, but it seems like this problem is self-inflicted.

They’re simultaneously oversupplied and overpriced. Lower prices and both problems sort themselves out, plus they can slowly out-compete the illegal sellers by undercutting their pricing.

It seems the real problem is that they are afraid to cut their margins because it would break their financial models and risk the stock price. It’s strange that they’d rather destroy excess product than try to move it at a steep discount.

I’m also afraid this could create other problems by giving them a huge incentive to try to push more and more weed consumption among the public. Whatever your thoughts about weed, I hope we can all agree that over-consumption is not good and that it could be a problem if multi-billion dollar companies are stuck in a situation where they need to greatly increase the public’s consumption of weed to become profitable.
Where specifically did Apple say they will never try to detect for the presence of CSAM in your iCloud Photo Library? In fact, people mistakenly assume that they do already.
I guess statements like this are basically all you have.

How else can you show direct disapproval? _not_ buying a device in 2 years?
That’s not how this works at all. You don’t get to make claims and then tell people they should go find supporting evidence themselves.
You didn't mention what field(s) but Arxiv Sanity Preserver has top papers users have added to their libraries.

A world of difference. Both in practical terms and principle.

To start, once you upload something to the cloud you do - or at least are expected to - realize that it is under full control of another entity.

Because of that you might not use iCloud or you might not upload everything to iCloud.
>Why would we trust law enforcement to a posse of private citizens (albeit with a congressional charter)?

What they're doing isn't law enforcement. Charging people with crimes, arresting them and throwing them in jail is law enforcement.
You're suggesting this is an accident. Lawmakers don't write any laws any more, that happens on K-Street by lobbyists. But the same idea applies to whoever is writing these horrific things. We're still living with the DMCA all these years later too.
But that happens in the US as well? See all the stories about farmers dumping milk during the pandemic.
“Think of the Children” and “terrorism” are two of the most used excuses for overreach, usually reserved for governments, but apparently for some companies too now. Why is it Apple’s business to stop crime, regardless of severity or type? How does “solving crime” help them sell devices? The more conspiratorial-minded individuals might actually suspect some government collusion in this, because it makes no financial sense otherwise to do this.

Nobody is dismissing CP (or terrorism). Simply put, it’s not Apple’s problem to solve.
Yes I was surprised that the article ended after what I thought could be the introduction to the topic
I understand you wanted to refute the former comment, but, ironically, that is indeed the case in point: when we cannot trust that the the thing we support won't be exchanged with something else in the future we don't support, without our knowledge, then we indeed should not support it.
Sorry, what I meant was I was looking at the data for my specific city. For some indicies statistics Canada has a breakdown to specific cities.
And most of us are very happy to support supply management! "Cartel" has very negative connotations.

The issues in this article are also entirely different.

edit: you forgot to mention our nefarious healthcare cartel!
NASA missed an opportunity not conducting the study over the last 15 months. They could have recruited hundreds of millions of study participants with no additional costs or fundamental behavior alterations required.
This is puzzling to me because all this effort would have been more effective if it were spent on fighting the actual problem - people becoming filthy rich and then essentially leaving our system of government and taxation.

Fighting tax loopholes increases the revenue without "tax-increase" optics, and it's extremely popular.

This is happening because our system is completely broken beyond the point of return. Once wealth takes hold of law-making powers, that's it.

I guess I answered my own question.
> Patronizing: you know what's patronizing? The notion that this kid just doesn't understand the realpolitik. Of course he does: it just punched him in the face. He's fighting it. I respect him for that.

I disagree. His Chinese girlfriend was begging him to stop, but he carried on. It’s either hubris or not realizing what China is willing to do to stop people from criticizing it. He was also enrolled in a Chinese university, and was undoubtedly warned about criticizing the government.

Actually, the discussion benefits from everyone stating their arguments clearly, even if you don’t benefit. Most of the discussion of this change has been FUD, making it difficult to tease apart actual privacy regression from imagined ones.
Is there a reason why the US has never introduced Local Loop Unbundling?

For those unfamiliar the idea is to allow various providers to use the same shared ‘last mile’ to provide competition without the need for a bunch of connections to each property.

In the countries I’ve lived in that use it, it seemed to work quite well. Lots of options with varying levels of service and competitive pricing.

I don’t think this would do much to solve the US’ issues in rural areas or areas without decent infrastructure already. But it does seem like it would help in the areas currently lacking competition as described in the article.

Not a pair. The number of possible perturbations of each example image in deep learning are enormous. This blithe quote implies that a hash code somehow can provide a flexible match against the billions of perturbations even a single image can undergo. It's a specious claim, and intended to cow anyone from disbelieving in the effectiveness of such a brute force match model.
I have to say, any definition of "framework" that claims the general concept of higher-order functions is a subset of frameworks, does not seem particularly useful in the day-to-day.

In this case, `map` is given as an example of a micro-framework. While it does illustrate the author's point, I think all it does is showcase that the separation really isn't as clean as they want it to be, and it undermines rather than reinforces their philosophy.
Also the following account of his experience in China, which certainly served as a greater pretext than the tweets of an account with 10 followers:

> A Chinese professor there told him that his Ph.D. topic was «boring» – a euphemism for being too critical of the government. As a part of his fellowship, he also had to attend classes, and says today he couldn’t believe how much censorship took place in the course of everyday university life. When he submitted an essay on reeducation camps, he received the lowest grade possible. In an email to his professor in St. Gallen, he wrote: «Maybe I've just been unlucky.»

I am deeply bothered by this totalitarian allergic reaction to criticism at even the lowest level. However as someone who is intimately familiar with life in the soviet union, this is not simply a case of bad luck if one takes actions that significantly increase one's radar signature to the censorship arm. If you are perceived as being "troublesome" by those who stand to lose much through being affiliated with someone openly critical of the regime, they may well take action to smooth out this political perturbance in their lives. They may do so whether they are staunch believers in the status quo or simply wishing to remain neutral at worst.

Now I am not saying he should not have done what he did, but he should have been more aware of the possible outcomes to avoid being so blindsided.

It would have been far more effective to relay his thoughts through more sympathetic channels. If the first person one's government criticism goes through is not a fan, that is a shaky start for one's efforts. A support network is needed. One can't shout into the void alone.

By refactoring, I mean cleaning it up once it works. But in my managers mind, as soon as the code works it’s good enough. Doing anything beyond that like sensible variable names, comments, making the code easier to read and follow is gold plating. So the second your hacked together development code works, you’re supposed to merge it and move on to the next ticket.

The pipeline stuff is gold plating because it takes longer than two minutes to configure and it then blocks merges and PRs when the code doesn’t pass linting etc (which slows us down right now, never mind that it’ll save a lot of time down the line)

I’m mostly just venting with like minded peers though. At that point, I’ve given up on fixing anything. I’ve tried, it burnt me out, and had no effect. Now I just put my 8h in, get my paycheck, and watch as we’re setting piles of money on fire. You can lead a horse to water etc.

I consider MPN far less shady than Fox, CBS, NBC, WaPo, or the NYT. It's really nice to have a news source that applies a modicum of skepticism to America's "foreign policy".

From your link:

> "BuzzFeed News in 2013 described the site as having "an agenda that lines up, from its sympathy with the Syrian regime to its hostility to Sunni Saudi Arabia, with that of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

If we're talking about bias; how biased is it to claim that since MPN don't agree with regime change in Syria, and they don't go along with America's (twisted beyond belief) "friendliness" towards SA, they must be working for Iran?

And, isn't it weird that the wiki page makes no attempt to link to any of MPN's responses to such claims? Looking over a recent one makes a lot of the claims made in your comment and in the linked wiki page look ridiculous - https://www.mintpressnews.com/a-biased-newsguard-honors-mint...
I wonder if this is a continuation of the same research the habitat podcast was based on:

The podcast was an interesting big brother style reality show depicting 6 people living inside a potential Mars habitat for a year as research for NASA. Descriptions sound very similar. May want to listen to the podcast before you volunteer :-)
> Also slavery disappeared from Europe, except for Spain

Slavery was unfortunately very much a thing in Anglo Saxon England.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Britain#2

Pre the migration of the Saxons into England (not long after the Romans left leaving the inhabitants unprotected) they would raid coastal areas and carry off slaves back across the sea. Later, Viking raiders would do the same…

HN is the best people. Thanks for the apology and no hard feelings here.

And I'm sorry if you had some bad experiences in grad school. Some of us, at least, are trying to be better.
As someone with a rare neurological disorder that hadn’t even been clinically recognised when I contracted it (it was seen as a weird subset of migraine in the few places it’d been studied systematically) this is fantastic advice. I also had the joy of being put on SSRIs only to find out they interact horribly with my condition and there’s many reports of this that doctors for the most part seem totally unaware of. I won’t touch anything of the sort ever again as a result, I can only describe my experience as a bad trip that lasted around nine months.
We should never petrify ourselves into solving a particular public problem with either an entirely governmental solution or private solution. Instead society should leave opportunity available for the both, while picking a winner to support wholeheartedly. When that winner begins to abscond their duties, it is time to reconsider who the society is choosing. In this case, American society is stuck with large telecom corporations whose profit motive antagonizes Americans who want a fast, affordable Internet connection.

We should closely examine our policies. How do our current laws choose the large telecoms as winners? Rural telecom companies already receive $1.5B USD a year.[0] They argue they should be considered utilities like water and electricity, so then local governments will choose one of them as the winner of a bid and subsidize them even more.

30% of the 43 million Americans living in rural communities had Internet access less than 25Mbps down and 3Mbps up in 2018. We've been in the Internet age since AOL was snail mailing floppies. What have the telecom ISPs been doing this whole time? How much longer will they test our patience?

Papers are obtained from Arxiv.org on a regular basis. Their license for metadata allows one to build these kind of things (I am not a lawyer).

Thanks for the bug report. Have to double check once I get to my laptop, but that’s probably intended behaviour. Select All is a short for... Selecting all the topics. Once you uncheck it, you can select and deselect individual topics at will. Let’s say I clear all the topics as you suggested, what should be displayed in the list of papers then? Anyway, wouldn’t defend that dropdown too much, at this point!
It's possible. It's also possible that this was the only email, but she got a warning from some Chinese government agency through another channel.

There is of course also the distinct possibility that the professor was personally offended by the tweet (or imagined the offense taken) and made up the "emails from china" to make it seems more impactful.

A valuable insight. No single position is perfectly ergonomic; Shifting one's pose as the body requires it loadbalances stress and maintains bloodflow.

The shops on the main roads in SF have a certain aesthetic to appeal to a new audience of smokers.

My question is, who has funded this feature all the way from PoC to product? How did Apple calculate the ROI on this feature?

It’s not like end users are tripping over themselves to have all their photos scanned. Does Apple just have gobs of money to burn on things like this that will not increase its bottom line by even one penny?

There is probably funded from somewhere, and I’d like to know who is paying for it.
Isn't eye-witness testimony considered evidence? Maybe the professor is lying, true. But also professional emails tend to be more cordial than in-person conversations. In terms of motives, the student has more motive to lie than the professor, since the professor has nothing at stake.
Feels like one of those “better is worse” situations. Yes - “most” people prefer the selection/prices if Target over the (relatively) overpriced mom-and-pop store, but downstream effects weren’t clear, undervalued.
Legally, I believe, they are responsible for distribution of CSAM that may wind up in their cloud, regardless of who put it there. Many cloud companies are under considerable legal pressure to find and report it.

I remember the Biosphere 2 project from the early 90s which was everywhere in the news but didn't work out.

"Biosphere 2 was only used twice for its original intended purposes as a closed-system experiment: once from 1991 to 1993, and the second time from March to September 1994. Both attempts, though heavily publicized, ran into problems including low amounts of food and oxygen, die-offs of many animals and plants included in the experiment (though this was anticipated since the project used a strategy of deliberately 'species-packing' anticipating losses as the biomes developed), group dynamic tensions among the resident crew, outside politics and a power struggle over management and direction of the project."

>isn't even really a logical fallacy. In fact, I can think of a number of circumstances where it turned out to be true.

This represents a very common misunderstanding of fallacies, IIRC it's called the Fallacy Fallacy: fallacies don't give you any information about the truth of the conclusion, they only indicate that the logic that ties that conclusion to the premises is unsound. So "slippery slope fallacy" means "worse things don't logical follow in increments from better things" but that doesn't mean that in any real situation "worse things follow in increments from better things" is not true.

The most common example of this misunderstanding is probably Occam's Razor, it says nothing about whether things are or aren't more complex in any real situation, only that it's easy to reason about things if you don't add additional aspects that aren't needed.
Probably why every system update requires passcode input.
It’s a shared planet and resources but unfortunately you don’t own any of it.

Political ownership calls the shots. Might look different if the politically detached organized against rent seeking and monopoly but you’re all busy building rent seeking startups, easily monopolized blockchains for pump and dumpers funded by nation states.

What a shock politics are going fascist.
