None of this requires a surveillance system. The landlord could visit the property before and after the guests stay, or pay someone else to do this.

Cameras achieve a similar result at a low cost to the landlord, but at the cost of the privacy of the people renting the home – I certainly wouldn't want cameras pointed at the swimming pool!
I think you might be missing the point. It's not that an utterance/proposition has "only one meaning", but that it is meant to represent only one concept (the speaker's) at the time it's spoken.

Also, I thought that the argument about the impossibility of distinguishing between equally probable meanings (in terms of frequency in a corpus) was a good one.
I purposefully didn't put "Stolen" in the title because who's to say that this contract was not executed as intended. Who defines what is the intended use of functions that reside on the blockchain?

I also had a similar experience both on the US and Polish side. The US math exercises that I experienced through my niece were really much more focused on reading comprehension, but almost hoping that the student trips up. Maybe its because I am not a native speaker, but this seemed to be not constructive to the task at hand.
BitMEX confirms it has reached settlements with CFTC and FinCEN
'The inmates are running the asylum' has a discussion about an element I think they are missing: personas.

The book discussed how 'user' is elastic: The average user is defined so vague that you can stretch the definition in every way you want. Enter personas. Each is a description of an invented but recognizable person, including name, lifestyle, background, ... A bit of an advanced cliché. Then you can say how well your program fits for that persona.

For gnome, you could have Ginny the grandmother who prefers everything easy and with a cat background. You have Eddy the console addicted linux expert. You have Danny the 9 to 5 bigco developer who just wants to get his work done and go home, and some higher up forced GNOME on him.

When these personas are reasonably well known, the development team as a whole can discuss UI changes in their terms. We're going to remove all but one shutdown option? Ginny will like it, Eddy's gonna hate us. But Eddy knows all hotkeys, maybe hide the more advanced option under the ALT button? You can even exclude personas: Gnome is developed for Ginny, Eddy should go away and use KDE.
It's not that risky. Most people over-estimate both the criminals and law enforcement.

In general, the FBI aren't looking for you. Somebody has to lose a lot of money and report you, or rat you out, or make up some bullshit about terrorism (like SWATing for black hats). It's also not hard to hide your connections from them. The people who get caught are ratted out by their friends and are very predictable.

In terms of "crossing someone"... these are script kiddies who paid for some malware on a forum, or paid for someone to build them a botnet. Most takeovers happen via social engineering... these people aren't very smart. Even if a criminal gang wanted to track someone down, it would be pretty hard if you did the least amount of covering yourself and didn't tell anyone. But hackers can be lazy and have big mouths, so...
I only know my neighbours, because of a dog.
GitHub has these ~hour-long outages like twice a year. In the early 2010s it used to be much more frequent.
For a few persistent applications (terminal, calendar, chat client, email, ticket dashboard, wireframing tool, etc) I have them tiled on specific workspaces/monitors and I use a keyboard shortcut to jump to the relevant workspace. (I don't know about Elementary, but workspaces is what Gnome recommends for this kind of thing.)

In cases of transient windows (reference materials, docs I'm reviewing, internal wiki pages, screenshots) I just let them pile up willy-nilly on my desktop. When I need to find a specific window that is no longer visible I either tab through the application switcher or select it from the multitasking view.

It may sound like a "messy" approach to window management, but finding an open window using an app switcher or multitasking view seems neither more nor less efficient than finding that same window minimized in a taskbar/dock.
> If you charge every night, 1000 cycles is about 3 years.

If you drain to 0% every day and charge back up to 100% every night it is. Another way you should think about 1000 cycles is that if you have a 300 mile range, it's 300,000 miles.
Decentralization doesn’t mean everything is decentralized, it’s a range of decentralization from fully decentralized to fully centralized. You can use DeFi without ever touching centrally-controlled assets like USDC or Tether. The key thing is that you get that choice.
A natural extension of these systems would be to enforce copyright, no? Of course it would be cause press to sue anyone possessing copyrighted content. A more measured response would be to have it disappear from iCloud, with a message that it has been put in the memory hole.

That was the marketing message. They became for-profit in 2019 and took investment from Microsoft. Many people were skeptical before that because the main investors were mostly known for for-profit ventures.
But incense was only burned in the temple, with no one around to enjoy it, so what's your point exactly?
Just because there is no central authority in control of crypto transactions like traditional banks does not mean laws and courts no longer exist. You can steal someone’s bitcoins by hacking their wallet but you can still be ordered by a court to pay it back and/or face jail time.
I saw a Ron Howard movie that starred Tom Hanks which told me the Holy Grail is really a metaphor for the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. I read a book by Immanuel Velikovsky that told me that around the 15th century BC, the planet Venus was ejected from Jupiter as a comet or comet-like object and passed near Earth. Venus is made of up hydrocarbons which spewed out and fell to earth, turned to carbohydrates and fell as manna, then Venus on a later flyby caused the earth to stop turning (and the sun to appear to stand still) and the walls of Jericho to fall. Somehow, not only did Joshua and his armies not get knocked flat on their asses when the earth stopped, but the entire earth did not become magma as the energy of rotation turned to heat.

People have been speculating about the "science" of the bible since the scientific method was a thing, and there's a shitload of absolute insane woo.

I find doubt/skepticism like this unimportant & irrelevant. I am far more interested in a Tim Orielly style "Follow the Alpha Geeks" mentality, of mining the scene for what is interesting & empowering & novel, understanding contributions & possibilities.

Deno brings two main things that seem undeniably critical & without peer:

1. Fantastic rust integration. Node has neon & napi-rs, but neither of these present as rust-first & readily available extension point, to replicate what node did: be the incredibly super successful bridge between the native platform & the javascript language. Whatever success Rust has will strengthen & alloy Deno's position.

2. Unparalleled web platform support. Always bet on the web. The web is everywhere, it's platform is excellent & healthy & robust, some last cracks of missing capabilities are being filled in. Deno presents as a possible server-side desktop-side web environment in a way nothing else does. Whatever success the web has will strengthen & alloy Deno's position.

Fretting about where in the adoption curve something is is uninteresting to me, a geek. I would rather focus on the thing, know it, assess it's potential, see others assessments, & make my own projections of usability & adoption, than look about for signs. Hopefully the brilliant things will have their due day.
There is no realistic historical concern of the US being invaded since WW1, arguably some time before as well.
I am not advocating, I am speculating what could likely happen. The Poly project seems to be obscure, low quality, so maybe it’s better for investors and users to lose what they had, so they can be smarter next time?

Also it seems the project was not very decentralised if everything was stolen with a single private key.
That's not a TL;DR of the article.

Yes they do. At minimum Mathematics have a why in that it is something that is arrived at logically, and provable. But when you learn mathematics, whether it be algebra or geometry and trigonometry or calculus or discrete, there is another why added, that of real life solutions. Why do we care about geometry? Well it ends up being useful in optics and physics. We like Trigonometry because it can help you build a building or bridge or shoot a cannon and take down said building or bridge. Calculus has innumerable uses in engineering and physics and finance and biology and everywhere.
If maths don't have a why, then programming languages don't have a why. They're both abstractions.
Re: not a bad thing -

I had a really bad reaction to the second shot of Moderna and I was rather pissed about it until I realized that the symptoms were almost exactly the same as those of my father who actually had Covid. Except he had it twice as bad.

So the take-away for me was that if you have a bad reaction to a vaccine, consider yourself lucky, because it would’ve been much worse if you were to contract the actual virus.
That's an interesting take, as I rather enjoy The Prefect and rate Chasm City as one of his more "eh" books.

I guess I'm weird.
That's a really interesting demo. What makes the responses so laggy? Does the model take that long to generate text? You can also experiment with things like repeating the user question or adding pauses like "hmm let's see" to make it less noticeable at least some of the time.

Too bad they asked you to pull it. What's the danger they are worried about? Annoying thing from their press releases is how seriously they take their GPT3 bot impact on humans. Despite all the hype, it's difficult to see the end of humanity by GPT3 bots any time soon. Honestly they need to rename themselves - can't see what's open about openai.
Given the speculation that Epstein was blackmailing people, I have to wonder if he was blackmailing Gates. What happened to all the evidence the FBI seized at Epstein's homes? Is the FBI doing anything with it? Does it still exist? Why has there been no news about it? What did it consist of? Just because Epstein died does not put an end to the many questions his life has raised. Someone needs to be watching the FBI carefully as well since powerful blackmail material could just as well be misused by the FBI. It's not as if they haven't done it before:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/martin-luther-king-fbi_n_4631...

Maybe there is some huge investigation going on that we don't know about but all that is visible currently is the Ghislaine trial and now the Giuffre trial. I'm really surprised that nothing more has come out given that the FBI reportedly seized the video recordings from Epstein's surveillance systems:

The Ray ecosystem is actually chalk full of integrations, from XGBoost Ray (https://docs.ray.io/en/master/xgboost-ray.html), to PyTorch on Ray (https://docs.ray.io/en/master/using-ray-with-pytorch.html), and of course hyperparameter search with Ray Tune for a variety of libraries, including Sklearn (https://github.com/ray-project/tune-sklearn).
Working from home / remote has had significant effects on collaboration and execution especially for more junior employees. Only a handful of more senior engineers have been more productive from my experience. Additionally, company politics are real and if you work remote, you may miss out on opportunities for growth.
You're right - just noticed the note at the top. Do you know of a better and/or current synopsis?
> The Genesis story is Jewish, and predates Christianity by at least five if not ten centuries. And most importantly, early Christians were Jews first.

Just thought this contradiction was amusing.
If by politics you mean the liberal lean, then yes - Republican voters are leaving Illinois. There are currently 13 Democratic reps and 5 Republican reps from Illinois. With the new census and redistricting, the state loses 1 seat. But it will be a Republican seat - 13 Democrats and 4 Republicans.

Based on the limited census data we have, there is a small-to-mid possibility that it will become 14 Democrats and 3 Republicans in 2022. It will probably all be in the southern part of the state. I'd put it at even odds that in the northern part of the state, they redraw boundaries a little bit to shift some Republicans from Underwood (D) to Kinzinger (R) to increase the election odds for both.

If you lean Republican, you might think politics are broken. If you lean Democratic, you might think politics are exactly right.
Assuming I'm understanding the ask correctly, x11vnc will attach to an existing X session in place. Dunno about adjusting resolution; not sure VNC can do that.
The report looks fine, but the title is misleading. From the article:

> “It is important to remember that 19 out of 20 COVID-19 patients do not need any therapy,” Arber said. “After a window of five to 12 days, some 5% of the patients start to deteriorate.”

It's a phase II trial to test if a new drug is safe. As the article report, it's still necessary to make another study to to test if the patients with the new drug have a better outcome than without the new drug.
And yet, people find their way to install all sorts of other programs like Chrome, Discord, Slack or Steam even though Microsoft includes some competing programs by default in the start menu.
>> Should you be given free shit simply because you exist?

>Yes?

Surely you understand the logistical problem this brings: if you get given free shit, there must also be a party who is giving free shit. Let's say you live on an island with just one other person. You are both entitled to free shit, but somebody has to put in the work to get the shit. Should the other person work to get his own shit and your shit, or should you work to get your shit and also his shit?

Where is the shit going to come from, in a way that doesn't require slavery for others?
Windows+h (h == hide, I guess).
Also, as others have mentioned, virtual desktops.
It's been reported that younger gulls initially try to open clams (the animal clams, not plastic containers) by pecking. I believe they learn the dropping-from-a-height tactic from observation, and suspect that the pecking at a plastic container is merely due to them not having seen it being open by a gull before. Also, worth considering that in their natural habitat, the only transparent things around (jellyfish) are squishy and stingy.
I lot of people speak many Scots words day to day, but won't necessarily consider themselves to "speak Scots", or even realise that the dialect they speak has an official name.

To test this theory, I just asked my mother in law (who is from the central belt) about Scots, and she replied, quite seriously: "Whits that? I dinnae ken whit that is, I spik proper!"

(I'm Scottish, from the North East)
It's stability vs reliability. I know Arch is reliable enough that I can depend upon the community to take the right decisions, Find what I need in their unparalleled documentation, Find bleeding edge binary packages of open-source tools in the community repo etc.

Yes I occasionally don't know what's causing a problem and I have to reinstall some packages. It's definitely not stable.

But if I needed stability I would have gone for Cent OS or what ever stands for stability nowadays. And that's the beauty of Linux, There's something for everyone.
> It's not clear that retirement is particularly healthy, longevity wise.

You're essentially saying that not working may not be healthy. That's one of the strangest things I've read today.

You may not view it as "not particularly healthy" because of the frame of reference, not because of "a fact" that not working is unhealthy.

If people "retired" at the age of 25, could you reasonably argue that we'd have an unhealthy population?
They can do the same thing the hackers did and launder it before withdrawing to a new wallet
(Article author here) Agreed! Instead we passed a law locking the size of the House at 435 members. And the present political interest in changing this seems limited at best.

Interesting point, though: smaller states end up at the extremes of both over- and under-representation under the current system (though there does appear to be a systematic bias in favor of small states). I wrote about that in a previous article: https://l.bit.io/census-apportionment-bias. Larger states tend to be close to the national average constituent-to-population ratio while smaller states are more likely to be very over- or under-represented.

What is wrong with viewing the data relationally?
It's not hard to just cover your skin with clothing. I haven't used sunscreen in the last 10 years and generally have avoided any sun burn. I gauge how much sun I'm getting and just cover up. Each summer I get quite tan and can tolerate long periods of sun exposure before having to cover up (this increases over the course of the summer obviously). Fear of skin cancer is over blown and the increased sun exposure while avoiding sun burn will more than outweigh the risk with other benefits for health.
I remember how I switched almost overnight from consuming Web things and personal email on my trusty laptop to my ipod touch (iPhone without 3g really) and one month in I had almost forgotten I could do it on my laptop.

The Web and mail experience on ipod touch was simply great, not sure I could explain it better than 'just great'. Nothing world shattering, but it seemed the thing was just natural for surfing and emails. And music of course (but heh, ipod). Didn't care about apps, or anything (or plants vs zombie was a great fun time waster). The thing was thin, nice to hold, nice large screen, capacitive keyboard and... So much better than my n900 or my palmshits for Web and personal email. No 3g then! Just WiFi. It was a simple, nice blend.

As soon as I got hooked up on this, next phone-break I bought... A galaxy s2 then stayed android (mostly because iTunes, iTunes and iTunes, which I hated as much as I can hate any software... Talk about learned helplessness...).

The original ipod touch was the best Web terminal at that time, I think.
It will create a separated session different from the local session. Basically if I used my desktop in office, and when I remote in from home, it won't show me the same windows I opened before.

Well, if all the cabins burn down one year due to it becoming a wildfire nuclear apocalypse, and therefore nobody wants to build cabins - I guess we might get a short window until everyone forgets about it? Usually <= 5 years from what I’ve seen. Though <= 2 years might be more realistic now a days.

And California seems to be heading in that direction, though not there yet.
Interesting that everybody accepts that this was a "hack".

Initially the idea of crypto was that "Code is Law". The code sent the funds somewhere, correct? So by the "Code is Law" standards, this would have been just a legit transaction.

Now it is like in the old world. Whoever has the highest reputation is right.
Everyone wants no central authorities until they're being enslaved by their regional warlord.
So I didn't go too indepth about the relationship between the teams for reasons, but suffice it to say they both aren't internal teams.

With that said, it definitely was a breakdown of communication, which is something we highlighted in our post mortem. We do have efficient ways of communicating, but due to the time of day, etc. the communication was very lack luster. They did tell us about removing the API token, but it was after they had already done it and we noticed the errors.

In terms of monitoring/user complaints. Some of this was poetic license. We were engaged with users during the partial outage and they alerted us when they noticed all their requests were failing and it had moved to a global outage. I just described it in a way that was better for story telling and removed some context so the article wasn't 15 mins long.
Interesting design choice. I use OSX (work laptop) and Linux Mint (home PC) and your comment got me thinking about their "minimize" button: I hate OSX behaviour of the minimize button: It hides the window and adds an additional icon in the task bar... before getting used to it for me it seemed as if OSX was "hiding" windows from me. Linux Mint has the expected (i.e. Windows 95) behaviour. Nevertheless I don't think I use a minimize button as long as I did before.
Honestly the memory cost isn't that much.

Code size has not grown as fast as memory and storage capacity has. One is constrained by manufacturing progress, the other is constrained by programmer output.

Deno is sub 50MB

For any non trivial app, your assets and working set data will likely dwarf the code size itself.

EDIT: Was looking at an old bug, deno is closer to 100MB. Starting to feel a bit large but still.

>Overall both class and teachers didn’t like memorizers. On the other hand, it was possible to pass pretty well by memorizing. Sometimes teachers would put in random bits in tests to throw off memorizers. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. All in all, memorizing and actual learning lived side by side.

I find it hard to believe, given my personal experiences and the fact that having to memorize a poem or a short story and then having to get up in front of the class to recite it word for word for a grade was an extremely common recurring homework assignment in literature classes in my Russian school (from elementary to high school).

Extra details about that type of a homework assignment for those curious: they cannot call up every student due to time constraints for each class period, so for every such assignment, only about half the students get called up (for some specific works that are "more important", they might call up everyone, but over 2 class periods; that was extremely rare though). But those assignments were so ubiquitous, you essentially got called up to the whiteboard to recite at least once every week or two.
