Western countries don't wage war in the way that lets you hold Afghanistan. Contrast with a successful historic conquering:

"In the Mongol invasion of Khwarezmia (1219–1221), Genghis Khan invaded the region from the northeast in one of his many conquests to create the huge Mongol Empire. His armies slaughtered thousands in the cities of Kabul, Kandahar, Jalalabad etc. After Genghis Khan returned to Mongolia, there was a rebellion in the region of Helmand which was brutally put down by his son and successor, Ogedei Khan, who put all male residents of Ghazni and Helmand to the sword in 1222; the women were enslaved and sold. Thereafter most parts of Afghanistan other than the extreme south-eastern remained under Mongol rule as part of the Ilkhanate and Chagatai Khanate." (Wikipedia)

Modern gentlemans agreement wars only really work between modern Westernized industrial societies. The idea that you could ever nation build in Afghanistan on a mere 20 year period was laughable even in 2001. It's possible results would have been different given a multi-generational timeline but when you aren't annexing the country it's hardly worth the effort.
I am also a boardgame.io maintainer, so happy to hear feedback about it too.

I think the framework has some gotchas and there are some improvements to be made (i.e. the whole thing about player being a string), but I still think it benefits a lot my productivity compared to doing it from scratch. Happy to hear in what cases you think otherwise.
what would I miss out on?
Thanks! Feel free to reach out to the community on discord
Of course it is relevant. The OP wants access to FREE SOFTWARE and to websites. I am telling you that this can be done if we use the “fancy” technology
AMD and Intel are fighting different battles right now.

AMD is competing with Intel today. They're offerings are better so they're winning market share and growing.

On the other hand, Intel really needs to be compared to the Intel of a few years back. They had ~100% of the server, laptop, and workstation markets. Whatever they released, people would buy it, and they could charge whatever they wanted. That level of dominance isn't going to come back. There is too much competition from AMD and ARM.

I'm not saying that Intel won't do well. But while they have to deliver competitive CPUs, they also have to succeed with this GPU push (which btw is not their first attempt) and probably also succeed with fabbing other people's chips (which has also flopped in the past). So they need to not flop this time, and they have to continue to execute well since these areas all have competition.

As a consumer, this is all excellent. It's seriously amazing what healthy competition brings.
I have the same problem! I'd really like to turn off autocomplete completely to resolve it, but Chrome doesn't allow that. :( Remembering to manually remove the site from my history every time isn't gonna happen.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - C S Lewis

Of the three with data they could abuse, I’ll take the thieves everyday of the week.
See, the thing about waste is that it doesn't actually achieve what it claims that it's going to achieve. So wasting it on education isn't going to result in more actual education.

(And yes, I know it isn't binary. It can be 70% waste and still produce 30% education, which is 30% more than we would have had - which I think is your point. It's still 70% waste, though.)

Maybe the answer is to stop letting government spend huge amounts of money, and let the people do so instead?
I hope Apple treatment of low performance iOS webviews will be treated similarly
Yeah... This is tough. I think Mathematica and Matlab are both far more powerful than most in our industry realize. But competing with open source is getting harder every day.
Too lazy to search, but within the last year I remember a series of podcasts exploring systemic racism from a vaguely reputable source (sorry) that at one point cited a (supreme?) court case where it was established that law enforcement actually has no obligation to "serve and protect", and all other expectations that don't follow from that.
My experiences follow yours. My nephews/nieces are obsessed with Fortnite and video games in general; they'll play it for hours until their mom or dad tells them to cut it out and go play outside, where they will proceed to pretend-play "king and princess" (there can't be dragons because "she will be too scared"), or "house" in an old barbecue box, or any number of invented games. Or they will make pretend cheese soup in toy pots and pans and go around "serving" it to everyone.
Not sure what you mean by "divisive."

I think "externalize their imaginations into real what if this happens scenarios" is pretty much what I was saying, although maybe I am tying it a bit more to why it is useful: i.e. practicing for real things that could happen, so they will be able to handle those situations better than if they had never considered such possibilities previously.

Where to begin...As most mentioned they have come from other tools. I too have used OneTab and SessionBuddy along with various others. I'll admit it was a bit of a learning curve for me and not by much. I went a step further since he uses org file I started using emac to view it and Android app to view them on my phone. You can't do that with the others. His early adoption of using the tab group function is the best thing he could have done out the gate at least for me. The linking of what is open and visualization in the BT sidebar is awesome.

So much potential. Tak a look at his Vision Statement/Overview http://braintool.org/overview. I am also appreciative of his responses to feedback and willingness to follow through or discuss. I don't expect him to follow every feedback.

Bottom line, take it for a spin with an open mind and willingness to adapt, learn and ask questions in his group. Definitely, I cannot stress, reading his links and watching his video.

Thank you.
The one who pays doesn't matter. Unchecked and applied to adults that line of thinking gives right to terrible things, including slavery.

Children are a different story, they are not free, they are under the control and responsibility of their legal guardians. In fact, the status of a child and the status of a slave are not so different, that's why there are very strict laws regarding child labor, because otherwise it could easily end up in actual slavery.

Here the problem is not parental control, that is fine, the problem is that the backdoor is now in place and could be potentially used against adults with all the nasty implications. Again, I think the fears are overblown, but I understand that it makes people uncomfortable, especially since they may have bought an overpriced device on the premises of privacy. Most of the most egregious privacy violations start with "think of the children", even more than terrorists and covid.
Because the people are getting too angry, and might start to actually look at what's going on?
In the DOJ’s world, it’s called collusion.
We shifted from “common knowledge” to “on the record evidence”, which is a pretty big step in my opinion.

The new info is that it is now available for legal action. The optimistic view would be that Epic is enough into it to bring more changes than Microsoft’s default browser ballot.
Oh wow, I literally have a blog post queued up about how different kinds of "documentation" can be split into similar categories. Great to see that someone else has had a similar insight!

My categories are Source (Reference), Procedures (~Tutorials), Examples (How-tos) and Meta (Tribal Knowledge, history, etc).

In the context of software teams (and others I'm sure) my anecdotal insight is that without a balance of these kinds of information, certain team functions break down:

- No Source/Reference, no shared deep understanding

- No Procedures, difficulty scaling processes (and difficulty onboarding new team members)

- No examples, harder to develop new skills / level up existing skills

- No meta, no context or "why", leading to less motivation
My parents never let us have a television except for around Christmas. My dad would buy a cheap TV set and we’d watch holiday movies but after Christmas it went in the trash. We amused ourselves by playing Star Wars in the yard with hockey sticks for light sabers. I’ve fought Darth Vader (my brother) more times than I care to remember and sure got a lot of bruises in the process.
I've noticed a rash of flagging within the last N months.
Glass makes a good observation here:

Since I was your age, for example, people have been working with machines. It’s not a new idea, but it’s always going to be the same problem. It’s important for you to understand the problem right now because you won’t waste time on things. How do you get to a better place?

How many times have I charged ahead thinking I was one of the first to address some particular problem? Well, a lot. It is good to step back and take a look at the problem and the previous attempts made to solve it.

But can you maintain calories out? You don’t know what they are, you have no way to measure them, and your body processes will change them in an attempt to maintain homeostasis.

I realize that people can fight homeostasis short term, but very few successfully fight it long term. We need to figure out the real causes of obesity, because calories in/calories out doesn’t appear to actually help very many people.
Did the root comment say this is "INCREDIBLY" effective before Delta? Why is it so hard to understand what I'm trying to convey here? It's not "INCREDIBLY" effective now.

Now waning immunity - did Pfizer or Moderna warn the world about it? Did they warn us about potential variants? Absolutely no, right? They posted the high numbers to pump their stock price. Vaccines are effective to some extent. But those two companies are not credible.
Hot damn! What good examples.

Two weeks ago I had only seen TikZ mentioned in passing, as something key which a publisher wasn't supporting in their pipeline.

It's just simple game theory. People will choose to use the hardest money in a free market, and so will governments. It'll benefit everyone in the end. There's a reason why nation states adopted the gold standard, and bitcoin is following the same trajectory. Governments that ban it, will be left behind.

It has almost nothing to do with anarchism, other than restricting the power of governments, and fostering collaboration instead of coercion. It'll return responsibility to governments.

There could be an anarchist shadow economy, if governments banned Bitcoin, but I'm not talking about that. It makes economic sense for governments to adopt bitcoin instead of fighting it. In democratic countries, there's no way to legislate the banning of bitcoin.
I do this with Google Play Books, and my notes magically appear as text files in Google Drive.
I was, too. Still remember that slowly dawning realization that the greatest communication medium ever created could also function as the most intrusive personal surveillance system ever created.
That's an awesome idea.

Love that the default is private and you have to add @reply to actually reply. I'll give it a try. Do you plan to make money from it? It's not super reassuring to start relying on it if it can get killed tomorrow. Also is there a way to restrict permission to a specific repo for the GitHub integration? "Act on your behalf" is a little scary as a permission.
Definitely a weird writing style. Struck me the same way.
It's touted as a minimalist phone but the very idea of a product category for minimalism is funny. If you don't want to get distracted and lead a more minimalist life, the act of resisting the distractions must come from within. Buying a minimalist phone is treating the symptom not the cause.

I guess there is such a thing as a minimalist aesthetic (think japanese/danish uncluttered styles) which has very little to do with the minimalist philosophy. Minimalist philosophy is much closer to resourcefulness/ingenuity than it is to consumerism.
Why would their opinions matter?

As for health, I think you might be alluding to pre-existing conditions? Can you elaborate on how you would see this affecting the result?
> They can be a part-time employees and chose when they work without having a fixed salary.

In a way where it actually makes sense for uber to hire them? If someone can sit in their house and push a button to start being paid their full rate, and doesn't have to actually do anything for the company during that time...
Digital thieves aren't that organized, and mainly seem to be trying to defraud banks. When thieves do their thing, the narrative is automatically biased against them - nobody spins their activities as justifiable, and there are many government agencies that work to track them down and stop them.

Meanwhile commercial surveillance also consists of explicitly malicious parties. LexisNexis isn't storing your data to benefit you. But when Surveillance Valley does its thing, their activities aren't even illegal. And it takes many years for the media narrative to even acknowledge the harm.

So no, I'm not terribly worried about information thieves. Most news stories that focus on them seem like simplistic distractions to focus people on the wrong threat.
It doesn't matter how much the device cost or how much you want control or how justified your access is, if you are able to intercept private messages sent between two other people then those messages can't reasonably be considered encrypted end-to-end
More similar to that than? The current AMD chip+io die approach? Sure.

As I said, "chiplet" just depends on a definition, there is really no good single one. Almost certainly the dies could be used standalone, and it wouldn't be surprising if some were for low end SKUs (modulo the statement in the article that they won't for this generation) -- there are some mesh IOs on some length about 1/2 the die on two edges, that's it. Not much area.
Calorie in/ calorie out is reasonable if you start counting the calorie effectively absorbed by your gut (the “IN”), and find a way to measure the energy spent by your body in all directions (including temperature keeping, brain activity, etc., the “OUT”).

The killing joke being that the “OUT” has been times and times shown to be regulated depending on the “IN”, so reduction in calorie intake generally cascades in reduced calorie spending in a variety of ways.
Why not free internet?
Seeing as it's now an essential service. (Although totally crazy that we are so dependent on it.)
> The idea that the corporate scientists are all utterly corrupt

I don't believe the scientists are corrupt, but there's been enough corrupt businessmen in America that I take everything they say with a bag of salt. Promoting boosters sooner than needed is par for the course
What monopoly? I use FDroid without any problems thank you very much.

Now if Google has a program to make happy its customers so that they don't leave... I wish all companies strategies were like that!
Google is another shitty company that employees shitty people. they waited till the payout day to suspend ad-sense accounts so they can keep the advertisers money. also, one of their employees who is very popular here is a creeper.
Because they missed a politician’s speech and read the transcript in the newspaper. Or read a transcript of a historical speech, like the Gettysburg Address.

Because they read their own medical records.

Because they want to watch television on low volume so they don’t wake the baby or partner, and turn the transcript on.

The fact that you have a university degree having never once done these things is indicative of an abysmal education system.
You are probably right, but what is the alternative? banning prostitution is to me a very bad idea, it won't end it, it will just force the women to work illegally without the protections of the state.

I've been a customer of several sex workers in many countries and most of them are actually OK with their job and lifestyle (I've asked several). In many places it's the best/only opportunity they have to earn good money and be independent. They find it better to sell their bodies for 1 hour tops with rules and regulations to several men than to have to marry and stay with one man that hits them and makes their life miserable

Another thing I've found by experience is that most women see prostitution as a temporal thing to make some money and then quit. I'd love to see research on the topic but from my experience it's a job that they do for months, maybe 1 year at maximum, but do enough money to quit and do something else.

I think overall legal prostitution is way better than black market prostitution. No-prostitution just won't ever happen no matter what, isn't it the oldest of jobs?
I didn't say anything about its utility. I was just curious what docker containers and snaps have to do specifically with python developers.
I've stopped trying to attribute infection rates to other statistics, especially individual ones. There seems to be very little rhyme or reason to the incidence. Sometimes there is a very clear mistake made, like in the Netherlands they opened up night clubs and bars and suddenly we had the fastest-growing wave so far and anyone outside of 15-25 years old wasn't even participating. But most of the time it's really not so clear what is causing or preventing infections without rigorous research. At a minimum, one should also be looking at test rates and incentives to not get tested (needing to go into quarantine iirc in many countries, having to pay €40 just for a single low-quality nose test as of Oct 1st in the Netherlands, those sorts of things), since merely the incidence does not tell the full story. Then there are weather changes (temperature, humidity, time spent meeting others indoors vs. outdoors), avoidance of close contact or travel, face mask requirements, adherence to rules and recommendations, etc.
I haven't used online dating in almost a decade (OKCupid circa 2012), so aren't familiar with their predatory practices, but I don't think you need an algorithm or even any form of gatekeeper at all to lead to a situation where undesirable people have almost no opportunities and desirable people have more opportunities than they know what to do with.

This has been the case for basically all of human history (if not longer) across a broad spectrum of different domains.

If the platforms are deliberately fostering this dynamic or exploiting it for profit at the expense of their users' mental health, that's of course unethical. I don't think it's a new thing that they've created, though.

When was the last time you had serious input into national policy?

And I don't mean with a (token) vote. I mean actually designing and implementing national policy, designing and setting up monitoring of outcomes, and reporting back to everyone else on how the policy idea performed.
I'm pretty sure what they mean is "No idea could be further from the truth than the idea that consuming information is the same thing as acquiring knowledge". In which case, unless I misunderstand badly Koshkin's implied criticism of charles_f is entirely unfair.

Koshkin, if in fact you think that what OP means is "Actually, consuming information is the same thing as acquiring knowledge", why do you think that?

Playing through Final Fantasy VII as a kid (albeit emulated) was a great introduction to that dichotomy. The game mixes both 2D and 3D art styles to varying degrees of success, but there's definitely a reason why the game's art direction is so iconic. Looking back on it, all I see is a watercolor, handpainted haze (as opposed to games from the system that haven't quite aged as well, like Metal Gear Solid)
I am a big razer fan, my only beef is that my orbweaver needs to run under the old version of synapse.

I also think it is crazy to run docker directly under Windows, I run a real Linux under virtualization and… it ‘just works’.

Any widespread warrantless surveillance of the private physical property of US citizens, performed at the direction of the US Government, would be an absolute clear-cut unambiguous breach of the 4th Amendment.

I'm not saying the US Government wouldn't care that it's unconstitutional—we know they'd ignore the constitution when they can get away with it. But they'd also have to convince Apple's lawyers to go along with unconstitutional surveillance. You don't think Apple wouldn't be itching for another opportunity to prove their strength against a Government? Especially now? Apple would love nothing more than to have more opportunities like they got with the San Bernardino iPhone.
Nothing like a good cheese soup, especially if it has a dragon in it - they really add to the flavor.
we don't know it wasn't; it's only mentioned that night vision didn't illuminate it.

night vision systems are , most typically, very low-light sensitive cameras that occasionally have specific-wavelength illuminators -- they aren't generally thermal cameras.

I tend to think something with a run-time like that is liquid fuel based, too.
Fuck companies that have codebases with long compile times and code in a way that you have to search multiple hoops to get to the actual cod e that matters (modern c++ in case you're wondering)

Iteration times should be one of the major tenets in our programming books other than the stuff they recommend to derisk your software.
Files get uploaded and then distributed across nodes in the entire network. They are accessible via gateways which could be centralized, but you can also access the files directly as well from a browser that supports it. Brave supports it.

So as a piece of infrastructure for hosting content and websites, it's decentralized and as more nodes come online it becomes more and more fault tolerant.

Google Maps has a better data collection method (bugging their userbase to collect data for them, encouraging users to collect even more as Google Scouts) and also the dataset of Waze, while Apple has a much more laborious process where an Apple Contractor (initially in Austin or Cupertino) modifies points of interest, business hours, road alignments, etc manually.

Apple started to ship this operation over to India 5ish years ago, and their contractors over there produce much worse results as they are not hiring professional geographers with degrees like they did stateside.
Nice opinion piece.
