OK, let's strain this analogy even more!

In memory, sure, the image is in a block (although not really, it's composited (not composted) then shipped over a wire).

But the functionality is basically everywhere. Similar in minds. We can see images "trip" localized circuits when they are recognized, but the comprehension and processing of the scene is muuuuuch more complicated.

Similarly, where is the little 8bit block that handles a click on the start button, and why God Almighty is it so _far_ from the start button image!
This might be OK if the HBOmax app wasn't one of the worst apps out there for video streaming. On my top-of-the-line Roku it is horrible sluggish. Comically so.
out of curiosity, why do you maintain a catch all? would it not be easier (and less of a privacy issue) to just reject them outright?
> Reddit seems perfectly usable as an unauthenticated user.

On desktop. The main mobile version blocks essential features, like browsing subreddits or viewing all comments on a post.

(Alternatives like old.reddit, i.reddit and teddit aren't completely broken but aren't great on mobile either)
Are there any theoretical attacks on git's usage of sha1?
I run it in docker on my file-server machine, with an extremely lazy .sh file with always-restart enabled, so I just run once it and then it comes back up on reboot, too, nothing fancy, just manually change the version number on the image and restart it to upgrade once every few months. The built-in web interface is good, and though for a long time the Roku app was in a weird state where most videos would fail to play, it's mysteriously started working fine again, though I think it's still missing some features (collection browsing, as in grouping media as "the Jaws series" or "the MCU", notably, IIRC). Dunno how the other interfaces are, as those are the only ones I use. The Web UI is pretty good for correcting metadata guesses it gets wrong (a very capable, integrated, non-TV interface for managing media sources and metadata is something I really wish Kodi had). I haven't worked with it in a while but I think it's as easy as providing the correct TVDB or IMDB (or whatever) ID and letting it re-scrape that item.

Somewhere on my probably-won't-ever-get-to-it list of projects is writing a Retroarch "core" with a very basic Jellyfin media browser, using the existing Mplayer core (probably having to re-package and wrap it with mine) to play the streams. That'd be perfect.
You are speaking about the editorialized title "Mental Phenomena Don’t Map Into the Brain as Expected", right? Well, yes, I would have titled a bug report exactly this way now that you say it.

For reference, the original title is "The Brain Doesn’t Think the Way You Think It Does", this is the one I reacted to.
Yes, clearly they recognized the need to backpedal somewhat from their long string of intimations that these languages have savage and primal qualities.

Did you think that passage was a total non-sequitur? Are they cautioning you from believing something you would have no reason to believe? Or do you think they were aware they had unduly created that impression.
Of course that would be your result, it is the median use, after the elision
"[sexual] intercourse".

"Intercourse" is not "/sexual/ intercourse": it is just "intercourse". (This should just make it evident, really: if "intercourse" becomes "sexual" after the elision, it is because it is so /only/ after the elision.)

This is speaking the language vs speaking a group's language. If a group bends the language towards some direction, it is that group's business.

When someone uses language, you cannot assume they are speaking the language internal to a group. Do not, because some simply will not. Incidentally, one cannot even guess what kind of branching one's language may get in some region.

And in fact, it is not justifiable that one should use the language of the interlocutor's culture, especially when this is unidentified, instead of just using language.
I'm guessing if all cars become Waymo right now, there will probably be reduction in vehicle fatality by 99%.

But people have hard time accepting with the notion that unmanned vehicle may be part responsible for that 1%.
Then put that junk in a secure enclave (that unlocking doesn't touch), or in a separate chip. Don't screw over your users who want to have some control over the device.
Ideally, there should be an option to not give it. It’s a security risk for those with MFA elsewhere.
I agree, Anyone who runs a Go web service would probably concur. Switching to Go for my web applications has not only enabled me to make faster releases but has also increased the capital efficiency from the cost savings for HW resources(Because of efficiency).
I think being able to talk about issues in your life and have an attentive ear is 50% therapy right there. Too many men keep things to themselves for too long.

Once they feel cornered, their only perceived course of action is usually anger and violence in extreme cases.
Agreed on both points. However... while I don't want to ride in a car full of sensors, I think the popularity of CCTV and Facebook demonstrates that a lot of other people are much more OK with that. Just look at busses, trains, and even gas stations -- I'd never want to have ads thrown in my face the way all of those systems push them on you, but a lot of people just seem to be... OK with it.
This sounds like the release candidate of GPT-3 which hasn’t made it.
What good was served here? The products are still stolen and are still going on the books as a loss. Since they can't be used, they're likely going in a dumpster. And none of this apparently led the arrest of any perpetrators.

Hard to imagine what purpose was served here, other than Samsung broadcasting what kind of power they have over devices you own.
I don't doubt that lockdowns are happening, which is why I listed the presence or absence of them as one of the two obvious things that can be observed by people living there.

I do have doubts that their actual case numbers are too far off from reported case numbers. (Because mass sickness and death, just like lockdowns, would also be obvious to observe.)

Questions like that can be interesting but unfortunately there is no way that a comment like this will lead to interesting responses—just flames from users who, for whatever reason, have other, stronger feelings than curiosity right now. Therefore it's best, as the site guidelines ask, to "Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

Not dumb at all. This code is at the bottom of the notebook cell that actually generates the image. By default it's a one-shot deal, this allows me to continuously generate images with some perturbations in the input to build in some variety (seed value, some prompt 'modifiers' that tend to have a style transfer effect).
The EU regulates tracking cookies. They're not banned, but the requirements for their use are rather strict, due to the interactions between the ePrivacy Directive (2002) and the GDPR (2016).

To GP's broader point, "what about GDPR?" the GDPR basically steps back when other laws apply. Processing personal data requires a legal basis, and one option for legal basis is "Legal Requirement," so if another law says it's required, GDPR says it's OK. And furthermore several provisions (like erasure) don't necessarily apply. GDPR would impose some restrictions like access and notice. The biggest issue is going to be "who is the Controller?", i.e. who 'owns' the data and who is in control of the processing?

my experience with their customer service is abysmal.

they took months to answer a ticket with a canned non-solution reply.
I shall give my usual plea (for the OP and feed authors alike): except for podcasts, please deal in Atom rather than RSS if you have a choice. Let RSS die. Outside of podcasting software, everything supports both, and Atom is the technically superior format, including resolving various unspecified behaviour that does lead to inconsistency across clients, such as with respect to HTML markup in titles (which RSS has no answer for, so that one way or the other all clients will mangle some titles that contain <) and in content (where the main but far from ubiquitously used RSS answer is to leave a blank <description> or <summary> or whatever it is, and use the <encoded> element from the http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/ namespace).

For this project, that would mean emitting Atom rather than RSS. And possibly the autodiscovery needs tweaking too, as I observe it not finding the feed on my site https://chrismorgan.info/, which is properly specified; my first guess is that it’s not coping with the type=application/atom+xml attribute.

In related news, MergeFeed is currently vulnerable to injection attacks because it mishandles Atom titles that are specified as text. If you specify a title as HTML or XHTML, it filters out a <script> element properly (good! and while retaining inline formatting too!), but if you specify a title as text, it doesn’t escape the HTML (which is what it should do) or filter it (which would have been wrong but would at least have closed the security vulnerability). Proof of concept: https://mergefeed.net/-?urls=https://temp.chrismorgan.info/x...
From that same link:

> Update as of 04/23/2021: The plan to disable TLS 1.0/1.1 by default is being updated for Internet Explorer and EdgeHTML (the rendering engine for the WebView control). TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 will not be disabled by default for both until early 2022. Organizations that wish to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 before that time may do so using Group Policy. Microsoft Edge Legacy is no longer in scope for this plan as the support ended on March 9, 2021.

> There are no changes to the plan for the new Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium). TLS 1.0/1.1 were disabled by default starting in Microsoft Edge version 84, and the SSLVersionMin policy that permitted enabling the legacy protocol versions will be removed in version 91.

I'm guessing postponed due to not wanting to interrupt business during the pandemic where they may be short-staffed or other preoccupied.
Thanks. I broke my reddit habit when I realized that most of the communities on reddit are just ideological echo chambers where you get banned for saying anything the community doesn't agree with. It lost most of it's value when honest conversations couldn't take place anymore. Now the only time I use reddit is when the only search results with the answer to a question I have point to reddit, and I've grown very weary of their tracking and harassing me to use their spyware app. Teddit is a nice way to get the information I'm looking for without being jerked around by those stalkers at reddit. We'll see how long it lasts before being blocked.
More time to work on important projects instead of me mindlessly scrolling and clicking in circles.
The punchline:

And what happens when you transfer it to a mixer? A self-hosted wallet? Or the EU regulate exchanges to the point you can't transfer your Bitcoin to a wallet you own?
I first noticed that watching... the ... 81 tour film (album was 'Still Life' IIRC), I think, when I was first really digging in (well, it was ... probably 1990 when I was watching it, but that was still relatively 'recent').

I've watched for it in most videos and live perf since then and yep, didn't seem to change much. Unsure if it was a jazz-flavored thing or what, but distinctive.
McDonald's is a place people come with their community. Older folks sit there for hours etc because it's air conditioned/warm. The community doesn't really intersect with the employees though, besides the employees being friendly when the people order.

I believe fundamentally people are ill equipped to deal with this kind of complexity. When labeling people, rather than using a small set of discrete terms, it's closer to a probabilistic clustering problem where each individual is represented by a high dimensional vector where the clusters are generated on the fly and per-use, parameterized by time and space and the observer's viewpoint.

This complex representation is what the area of academia that studies identity has come to call intersectionality. I.e. being black and gay is a particular experience that is also modified by the person's other demographics.

But imagine translating that level of complexity to national discourse (i.e. a CNN article). Doing so leads to two simplifying approaches: one is to attempt to simplify by using broad categorizing terms ('black', 'white', etc); the other is to attempt to reject those terms by not using them. You're describing problems with the first approach. The problems with the second approach are that it can sweep actual experiences under the rug. For example, while 'black' is an incredibly broad term, that is in fact how a large portion of the population labels another large portion of the population, irrespective of their background, which does create a shared black experience that can and should be talked about, but then always at the risk of ignoring other labels that also make sense in context, such as wealth, education, etc.

I don't know a rhetorical way out of this situation. This is why academic texts (by that I mean authors who are attempting to tackle the subject without any undue attempts to simplify) dealing with the subject can become so twisted and hard to read, because actually describing the context of an individual person can lead to a per-person book-level explication of their experiences that also includes a not-insubstantial explication of the author's experiences.

This is a problem with language. Every time I'm personally in a situation that ends up getting written about in the media, a situation where I'm sufficiently involved to understand the nuances of what happened, the article feels like a comic book simplification and reflection of what happened. But then did I experience that event in the same way that other participants did? No. That's the subject matter tackled, for example, in Roshomon. An 'event' in history is a generalization and narrativization of something that will be probably be interpreted very differently by the actual participants involved.

The problem with exercises like what I just wrote is to use the lack of conclusive and easy categorization to justify inaction or disengagement, i.e. "There is no black identity, let's just treat everyone as though they're the same race." That flies in the face of a great deal of lived experience. Especially because a white person in America can afford to act that way, but a black person cannot.
They might not have invented it, but they popularised it. UTF-16 would be dead and a footnote in history if it hadn't been for Microsoft's adoption of it.

I think people vastly overestimate the challenges of weather conditions for self driving. With modern car tech (traction monitoring, ability to redirect torque to a specific tire, ABS, radar) an automated car is going to have an easier time navigating snow/ice/rain than a human driver.

The real challenges when navigating city streets are the human ones – delivery vehicles blocking lanes, municipal worker fixing a manhole with a single cone to redirect traffic, pedestrians/bicyclists appearing out of nowhere, no one following traffic signs. This is the kind of stuff that tests "intelligence".

Funny, I've been calling it Bonjourdevous for what seems a very long time.
Personally, I prefer trackballs (specifically the "thumb" type) because they minimize wrist movement and finger contortions. Using a trackpad or mouse for an extended period of time, my wrist gets quite painful, and clicking on a trackpad likewise makes my finger joints painful. This is probably not fundamental, but trackballs just seem to make ergonomics easier.

Secondarily, with a trackball it's easier to cover a large area "ballistically" i.e. with a mouse or trackpad you might have to do multiple side-to-side traversals in order to go across your screens (or set a very high DPI which also gets tiring after a while)

Ah right, so men-on-men violence, it doesn’t count? Because all men are pigs, right?

Are you asserting that women can’t do anything about it? Try harder: In 1914, they demonstrated so that single men go to war, because they wanted to be protected.

And up to today, the men who date are the ones who are feminist, ie the ones who require other men to do things for women. When it’s men-on-men violence, it’s often in the name of women, who will complacently benefit from, for example, men establishing a large company at the expense of the people who were overworked.

The ones who date men do turn a blind eye on the competition men face at work, as long as they have a nice date, a nice holiday together or a nice family. But all those require to be at ease with money, risk bankruptcy for those who create a company, truck accidents for those who work day and night, shootings for those who enter a big drug coup, and cardiac arrest at 45 for office jobs. And god forbid, not annoy the missus with those “details”. It’s just risks we’re talking about, why bother her before they are realized.

Old news... also the people announcing it are actually idiots or misinformed on terminology because they aren't talking about local wallets on your computer. By "anonymous crypto wallets" they are talking about anonymous wallets on exchanges, which is very different than most people would think at first glance. This is not "send in the public key of every wallet you've ever touched to the tax service."

Tell me what you think it says. I can think a lot of reasons why that would be the case, including unwillingness to learn a foreign language, requirement to pay US taxes as an expatriate, immigration level differences between countries as well as population difference.
If it ain't broke(1), standard operating procedure is not to fix it. So a lot of corps (and orgs, and individual devs) end up on TLS <1.2 without giving it any thought.

It can even be hard to reach them... A lot of stuff gets automated, and it takes a level of discipline to avoid routing some of the low-level error messaging to /dev/null (or its spiritual sister, an infolog nobody ever reads) that surprisingly many institutions lack.

(1) Security is extra-hard, because it ain't broke until it's broken into from the point of view of the end user.

When you point out hypocrisy in HN, you will get downvoted and comments on how you are using "whataboutism". Most of the traffic to this website comes from the US, so you probably understand the clear bias.

I remember our school administrator used to delete all our silly images we'd made with paint on the school PCs. We asked why but never got a good answer.

I figured out that putting a certain character in front of a file name made it not show up in explorer. So I did that to a folder in my home directory and put all my stuff there, accessing them from the command line instead. Never had them deleted, again.

Everyone is logged into an account + Tweets (and share buttons) embedded all around the web -> way more data for advertising.

That's the underlying fact that make Facebook and Google (and to a lesser degree, Pinterest) so valuable for advertising. Facebook and Google have organic signups (FB for FB, Google for Gmail, Youtube, etc.), but Pinterest does what Twitter's thinking of doing here--it locks you out of content until you have an account. Pinterest also has "share" buttons (and the accompanying JS, cookies, etc.)
Good question. We’ve so far noticed that going direct can still be a painful process, where deals can take a long time to close (3-6 months) or take a lot of legal fees ($100k+). We've also seen that companies lending at a larger scale are still trying to diversify their source of capital.

This is definitely a challenge we will face as we continue to try and serve larger customers and are hopeful that by focusing on having integrations into financials and streamlining the process, we can make Level the first choice of capital even as customers hit larger lending volumes.
My understanding is that they are trying to use the Lightning Network. Though my brief googling of this only shows speculation that this is the case, rather than confirmation.
This sounds like the sort of "perfectly safe for human drivers who know the roads" that actually results in a fair number of road deaths.
There's definitely the principle of the regulation dodging. That said, aside from the existence of a matchmaking company, I'm willing to bet that the legal structures around a large shared extended family home probably doesn't look a lot different.
