Many people accept as virtue what is more luck or fate. In many, many cases stuff like layoffs are determined by inscrutable factors.

Hiring too. If you’re not in the magic club of universities or don’t have an in, your abilities don’t matter at all.
The targeting of the education system is insidious. Hong Kong youths may be known for being outspoken about democracy today, but Hong Kong youths tomorrow will become passionate about the CCP. We are seeing a turning point in history.

"Those with professional degrees (e.g., JD, MBA) and PhDs were the only education groups without a decrease in hesitancy, and by May, those with PhDs had the highest hesitancy. To our knowledge, no other study has evaluated education with this level of granularity, which was possible due to our unusually large sample size (>10,000 participants
with PhDs). Further investigation into hesitancy among those with a PhD is warranted."

Thinking mortality is intrinsic to being human is pretty close to saying that it's right and proper people should die, and I really don't accept that framing either.

There's value in acknowledging we probably can't solve death, and coming to terms with that, but if you had a button sitting in front of you that would completely eradicate cardiovascular disease, you'd press it, right? There's no form of death that I'd even think about keeping, with the exception of suicide and maybe execution.
Only if your VPS is not in a big data centre, as they already block most of those.
Nope! Still ongoing in Tokyo district court.

I worked with Fortress 2019-2021 to get a deal for creditors to have an early out, though. The Trustee agreed to give creditors a rapid exit option in December of 2020, and scheduled the vote for the ‘quick’ exit for .. wait for it.. October 2021. If creditors approve that plan, then they’ll have an option for an early payout. I have no idea what quick means to Kobayashi though, given that the bankruptcy has taken like 7 years at this point.
Let me remind you that you had been dead for 13.7 billion years before being alive for only 1/1,000,000,000 of that time and you call death a break?
>The term dog whistle is regularly used as a covert form of Ad Hominem that I find logically annoying, basically "ignore everything this person said because" insert assumption of what was meant and derogatory term about political affiliation.

Agreed. "Dog whistle" basically means "I can't find something to attack in what ideological opponent said, so I'm going to pretend that what he said actually means something else, and attack that instead".

You can write off a business dinner as an expense. Upper management also gets company cars, company phones, with company paid plans that they often use for private purposes as well.

I think the public blockchain is the only basis of a non-dystopian metaverse. With it, ownership over digital assets can transcend any specific proprietary platform. For that to happen, a general consensus needs to emerge that the public blockchain is the canonical source of truth on ownership of works of arts, and a convention needs to be established where platforms respect blockchain-based claims and reserve for possessors of such claims exclusive use of the respective artwork.

Without an open ownership system, people will be compelled by market forces to converge to using a single proprietary platform that can provide a consistent account and set of rules on claims to digital property, and this platform being mutable by the proprietor, will make that proprietor inordinately powerful in a way that disfigures the socioeconomic landscape to make it less functional.
Is that really a recent thing though? Or has it always taken some places weeks to count votes, just not in close states?
Yep. And probably sold it when he doubled his money
In the past three weeks, US citizens sent over 40,000 messages to their senators to ask them to support a carbon price. Citizens Climate Lobby is now doing the same thing with the House of Representatives: https://citizensclimatelobby.org/house/

This is one of the best chances we've had in a long time to pass some serious climate legislation. A majority of Americans of both major parties are in favor.

The solution to this is so simple that it's frustrating these people can't see it. License all of your content for the global audience and refuse any licensing deals that restrict by region. License holders will soon get on board if they're offered fair prices, when the alternative is no audience. Use the cost savings from the engineering efforts on this ridiculous cat and mouse game to fund the additional license fees. Done and done.
What good is a paper audit when the ballots can be mixed with boxes of “mail-in votes” that ultimately get separated from their envelopes, breaking their chain of provenance? You can keep counting them, and the count will match each time, but can you verify that each ballot you’re counting originated from exactly one registered voter?

If you think this is evidence of a secure election, I have an unpickable lock to sell you. Anyone repeating the talking point that this was “the most secure election ever” sounds like a partisan hypocrite, especially when you can find videos of Democratic Congress members warning about the security of elections as recently as in 2017.

Or, maybe it’s a coincidence that polls asking questions about election security – an objectively non-partisan topic – find a distribution of opinions weirdly aligned with support for the red or blue team.
They do.

And if they didn't, AR can also 'solve' that problem, by putting their virtual storefront in front of your eyeballs.
I don't really get this, shouldn't you get paid more? If more people worked from home that means the company is paying less expenses. Less floor space, less internet costs, less office supplies. To me, cutting pay for remote workers is basically the company double dipping.
If you’re selling 10k at a time you’re going to need to make 1.2 million sales so you better get cracking
Unfortunately there are currently ten states using voting machines without a voter verifiable paper trail (VVPT/VVPAT) in at least some jurisdictions. These numbers are dwindling over time as machines without VVPT are no longer being purchased on a meaningful scale, but most states can afford to replace their equipment only very infrequently. Over the next decade or so most of the non-VVPT machines should hopefully go out of service, this is a policy requirement in some of these states.
The resolution and detail on a “real” camera is killer for me. I can save photos with the crop much more easily. Also, portrait mode is good, but nothing beats real bokeh.
> this recent idea that it takes weeks to count votes, that we might not know the results for weeks – is completely unacceptable

Why on earth would that be? The "counting period" was originally set at 5 weeks. Between laws saying that you cannot start counting mail in ballots before the close of polls on election day, laws that (rightly) limit how many hours that can be spent counting ballots, etc. I'm not sure how to square that with instant results.

Maybe we just be patient counting the scores in a contest that takes 18 months to run?
Imposter syndrome can also manifest via factual evidence even when it isn’t indicative of being an imposter.

I got a FAANG position without completing a degree. All my peers had degrees in CS. I thought I didn’t belong because I lacked formal accreditation. Having skill wasn’t as measurable as having a degree.

Thankfully, I’ve learned to see getting there while self-taught as validation since then.
terrible advice. almost all vps provider ip ranges are blanket banned
fuck these guys. seriously.

I've been using this product since 3.x. I chose it because I could use a wide variety of syncing solutions. It did what it said on the tin. Gave me a place to store my passwords that was secure.

I was a happy user buying upgrades whenever they came out until 7.x where it took me over an hour to figure out how to buy the non-subscription/cloud version and instead find the link for the standalone version.

I paid for versions that I honestly didn't have any features I cared about simply because it kept doing what I wanted it to do.

Gone are the days when you can buy a hammer, and use it to hammer just as many nails as you like until it breaks. Now we have to rent a goddamned hammer apparently. Even that wouldn't be so bad if I could still keep my passwords out of their cloud provider.

They've fucked up, they don't think they have.

So what are the options for someone who just wants a simple place to store a bunch of passwords encrypted in a secure way. With decent clients for ios/mac/windows/linux that lets me be the only person who has their hads on those encrypted bits?
> free medical for my family for life, as well as my children’s college paid

I worked on blockchain based voting system way back in 2013 for a year before coming to the same conclusion.

Blockchain considers secure private key management outside of its threat model which is crazy when you think about it.

The best argument I think I could make in favour of using paper over any electronic voting system is the scalability of an attack.

Generally speaking changing one vote in an electronic system is just as easy as changing a million. Scaling a physical attack against paper ballots is much harder and actually increases the likelihood of getting caught.

Also for blockchain in particular. It solves no problem existing mixed trust voting systems already solve more efficiently.
You also assume that someone that's poor pays the same amount of money for a junk car than you do. Poor people pay 2-3x more than the value of a car over its lifetime, due to credit issues and predatory lending.
> that's just plain old developer incompetence

People who make flippant comments like this have most certainly never worked at high scale sites.

These escape sequences were known as ANSI long before the invention of ANSI.SYS. I suspect the standardization may be for the syntax and not the specific commands.
And do you get any PRs/issues? Are they all solved?
It's recent because of the huge amount of write in ballots. Usually the winner is called the night of because they* just ignore the mail in numbers, even in battleground states. This year, there were too many (and they were too different a population from the in person ballots) to do that.

* "They" meaning the news media. The official vote took longer and counted the mail in ballots
Got it, thanks for explaining so clearly. The way I see it, because of nuclear weapons, no other country can actually conquer the US, so I much prefer free speech to any sort of propaganda initiatives meant to strengthen the US against other countries. We are already basically almost completely protected from other countries by our nuclear weapons. We do not need censorship and propaganda to add any sort of meaningful further protection.
I hear good things about Bitwarden.

This is one of the more obvious reasons to have as many children as possible and to raise them as well as possible. Fact is otherwise nobody is liable to care about you when you’re old and even if one of your peer friends does they’ll be in the same boat.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have, because without someone to actively advocate for you it won’t go well.
what a wonderful job! this project has indeed brought us some new ideas!
Take a look at some of the things being done:

Under the guidelines, students as young as six years old are expected to learn the names of the four offences under the national security law – subversion, secession, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces – as well as the national flag and anthem and the city’s law enforcement agencies.
Schools have also been advised to call police under “grave or emergency” situations involving pupils’ staging campus protests, displaying slogans or forming human chains, while teachers were told not to approach the national security law as a debatable matter.

You have a super computer in your pocket. There is no reason counting votes should take any longer than it takes to receive them.
Yep. It's trivial to fork, not trivial to maintain. Especially when it's something where security is important - mosh will allow anyone to connect to the server directly if there is a bug there.
Mail-in ballots must be separated from their envelopes. This is the only accepted way to achieve a secret ballot, which is required by constitution or law in most US elections. That is, losing the provenance of the ballot is the point of the voting process.
Anyone who values diversity or civil rights has to acknowledge that the Chinese Communist Party is the largest scale force seeking to destroy diversity and civil rights. Conquered people with culture different than the majority Han culture like the millions of Tibetans, Mongolians, and Uyghurs are often punished for practicing their culture or speaking their language. Uyghur families are forcibly separated, Uyghur adults are forced to labor in sweatshops far from home for little pay, and Uyghur women are forced to get abortions. These people used to learn their cultures and languages in local schools, but now are forced to learn Han culture and speak the language of the Han majority, Mandarin. If you are serious about civil rights and diversity, then you have to be fundamentally opposed to the Chinese Communist Party and their policy of violent forced assimilation of their minorities.
Human rights are not a thing in communism. The only thing that matters is success of the party. Its accumulation of power is the measuring stick. Capitalist economics are only allowed because it helps the party succeed and not for any other reason. That's why they execute and fire billionaires all the time. If they are not helping the party succeed in its quest for global domination, they get fired and lose all their assets, rights and even their lives.
“Privileges” aren’t a legal concept. You have the right to bear arms in the US, but that doesn’t mean the government will send everyone a gun in the mail.

Working, commerce, and social behaviors are all protected in US law to varying degrees.
ADTs like the one described here for remote data is a good start, but I haven’t yet found a good way to compose multiple pieces of data that is in potentially different states.

We use another class based concept on top at work where you can compose multiple pieces of remote data together, but it really only works well for the happy path.
And books, tv, gaming, rock and roll? These complaints don’t seem all that new. People do like escaping. I certainly don’t want to spend all my time socializing, and when I do, I prefer part of it to be digital.
We canceled our Netflix subscription something like six months ago, on the basis that there was literally nothing worth our time to watch.

It feels a bit like when I quit social media. I freed a surprising amount of time, and liberated this just incredible reservoir of emotional energy that was previously allocated to the Void.

Thanks to that surplus, I learned how to dance. Seriously leveled up my cooking skills. Walking away from the prolefeed made my life better in a cornucopia of ways.

Ditching streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) feels the same.
Death is neither good nor bad, nor permanent, in my opinion. Given eternity arbitrary close combinations of matter in space and time that composes you will arise again and again. My opinion is that when we die we pretty much begin a life extremely similar to the life we just lived except maybe some infintesimal thing is different. Thus if you want a better life then start creating it because you have been living variations of the same script forever.
Silver Lining: Woman Who Chose to Not Have Kids No Longer Forced to Explain Why
The smart thing to do is to pull $1m out every week or so - big exchanges have the capacity to do that much.
Any economic system works because people choose to believe in it. Specifically, people with guns. For instance, I have US Dollars, and I can exchange US Dollars for goods and services because everyone agrees to let me do so. I don't have them on me though--my bank has a record of how many US Dollars I have, and if they suddenly decide I don't have US Dollars for a sufficiently bad reason, that's some type of embezzlement, and I can go through a process involving highly trained professionals arguing on my behalf in front of someone wearing a black robe, and eventually men with guns will force them to give me my US Dollars back.

Likewise, we also all choose to agree that the owner of a car or a piece of land is whoever holds legal title to that car or piece of land according to some records maintained by some government office. If you think you own my car, and you make a duplicate set of keys and drive away in my car, I can get men with guns to go try to stop you from doing that because the official record says it's my car. But if you're the repo man, and I miss enough car payments, you can get the men with guns to take your side instead of mine, according to a similar process involving trained professionals arguing in front of someone wearing a black robe.

So yeah, the actual value isn't on-chain. What the chain replaces is the system of implicitly trusted institutions keeping records and adjudicating disagreements. Sure, out there in the real world, you have my car, but it's the record keeping that helps the men with guns decide whether to let you keep it or throw you in a cage for the next few years.

They're rhetorical questions that pertain to the topic in the OP and are related to the GP. The ability to install apps in the background is related to Google's antitrust issue, but there are other problems when it comes to Android app distribution.
I've had a few. All solved except one. I suspect only a few people are using my lib, and all are hobbyists. A particular challenge with this lib is I'm attempting to support most (newer) STM32 variants using a single HAL lib, which makes ops testing tough. (This allows me the flexibility to choose whichever variant I'd like on future projects without modifying the code base). I've published code so others can use it as an example.

Reading between the lines of your questions: I'm not throwing spears at the lib maintainers; I'm pointing out that relying on 3rd party code may cause complications. In my case, I made a decision on each individual lib.

This story is very complex...

1. According to the clerk, these passwords are only held by the Secretary of State (or Dominion techs) (not sure how legit that is).

2. The Secretary of State then raided the office of the clerk (with dominion techs, supposedly) while they traveled to the Cyber Symposium.

2. At the Cyber Symposium claim to have imaged the machines with someone on the ground in IT and the clerks help. These images were brought to the Cyber Symposium today.

3. Ron Watkins and others spent today reviewing the image by VPNing into a machine where the read-only image was hosted.

Timestamps of analysis 1:57:00 - 3:51:00

https://rumble.com/vl05im-watch-mike-lindells-cyber-symposiu...

Personally, I have no idea what to make of any of it, but it does appear like some weird stuff was on there. Particularly 3:29:00 - 3:35:00 they discuss a batch file which seems to do something ominous sounding, but without seeing the image no idea.

Only thing I take away from this, we need to just count paper ballots. Potentially, keep images as backups.
This use case is a development machine on a VM.

Docker driven development is generally code on your host and run the app in a container. Considering their git pull takes 20 minutes, it makes sense to go the VM route.
