There are few other crimes so heinous and with such a high recidivism rate as sexual abuse of children. Attempting to reforming such people appears to be a fool's errand (and that's leaving aside that retributive justice is a real and necessary component of a serious society).

I know the usual response is that not all pedophiles are going to actually carry out their fantasies, but really we have no evidence that "non-offending MAPs" or "virtuous pedophiles" (or whatever they call themselves) are a real or significant phenomenon; plenty of those who have claimed these titles have been exposed as abusers.
It makes some kind of sense for them to keep the private key. Most customers are more concerned about data loss from losing the key than snooping.

Except, they say your data is unrecoverable if you lose your public key (which presumably serves as proof of your ownership of the data). Of course, it is not technically unrecoverable, they just won't recover it for you. In other words, this negates the one good reason for them storing the private key. I'm confused.

(Also, why is the private key generated on the client and then transmitted to their server?)
> clean shift to a predominantly nuclear grid started closing in the 1980s.

Our nuclear future was toast by April 1979 because of an extremely unfortunate coincidence:

March 16, 1979: Premiere of the film The China Syndrome - the plot to which involves a near-miss at a nuclear power plant that could have "render[ed] an area the size of the state of Pennsylvania uninhabitable."

March 28, 1979: Three Mile Island power plant in Pennsylvania has a major meltdown that destroys one of its two units and releases a small amount of radioactive material into the surrounding environment.
It’s slightly weird to think this will happen at a certain time for us but presumably at this point space time will be bent in such a way that what does time even mean anymore…

Well, I have an MD in the household. But I get anxious when measuring blood pressure because I'm scared it will be to high. My dad has it, and I'm always afraid I'll get it too. When she ambushes me and measures it when I don't have the time to panic, it is usually fine.

On the other hand, I had a regular blood test several weeks ago, and my blood sugar was borderline high for a fasting period. I just went out and bought a glucometer and tracked it for days later, it was much lower. It just happened on that one reading at the lab. The only explanation is that I was fasting for too long (close to 16 hours) and the lab was not the first thing I went in the morning, I had one more place to visit before. So my body was already fully woken up and/or my liver started doing its thing and produced glucose from fat or whatever.
What populist leaders have done since time immemorial is to rally large crowds by tapping into their desires. Trump does this handedly, as you can see from his rallies. In Roman times such a person was called a tyrant, i.e. someone who gained power by exciting the populace directly, instead of farting around with the right senators and rich people. At some point to get a crowd going like that means you have to let go of your own convictions and “play the room” as it were, which is what the roman leaders didn’t like about it. Through trial and error the tyrant learns what incites applause and leans on those rhetorical devices as opposed to having a more coherent goal or plan. Comedians play the same game but for laughs. It’s the ultimate form of engagement optimization, and it works very well. A bad comedian will be booed off stage in minutes, likewise a would-be populist leader would get no traction if his statements fell flat on his audience.

So what happens when “the room” is social media instead of a stadium? I can only imagine the sheer thrill of tweeting my thoughts and receiving 100000 replies in the same day. No less, SM would be directly aligned with my ultimate interest of gaining power, because SM companies are also interested in increasing immediate engagement.

All this is to say that I don’t think trump is to blame for very much other than existing as the manifestation of a large number of peoples desires.
Sure, but calculus makes infinity sufficient, but not necessary for describing the physical world. Integers, rationals, and apparently complex numbers (presumably those with rational components) are actually necessary for describing the physical world, given our current understanding. Irrational numbers and infinities are extremely useful, but not strictly necessary.
There is also a distinction I have seen ignored - everybody (any individual) vs everybody (all individuals).

Take a group of randomly selected non-rich people 1 to N and assume you have a "dart board" of varied strategies and their return in this iteration. Take the normal distribution over time and the outliers at the right end of the bell curve you will find that some will become rich in the proper flux.

You can't all just throw them at the same spot and get an absurd economic yield. It would in the end regress to both a standard distribution and the mean.

Competition mostly diminishes the returns in a given investment faster. The price differentials close through the generation of profit and fulfillment of demand. You are being paid to be a servant of entropy lowering things to their base state. This isn't a bad thing but one specific plan will not last forever.

Resource scarcity is weirdly peripheral to all of it and how you define rich in absolutes vs relative.

I'm confused not more complex large-scale software projects are written in Ada. The way I understand it, they are not complicated enough you need Ada.

For example, Ada makes it easy to structure one's code in a strict tree hierarchy (whenever you with a package put pragma Elaborate_All (..) on it, which works well with any Ada compiler I've tried it with and is in the Ada standard since 1995). It makes monolith creation by mistake impossible.

Strange you had memory management problems in an Ada application. With all the focus on safety and security within the Ada community, it makes me wonder how the software engineers were using the language in that project?

> I am troubled when I see media reports refer to ivermectin as a livestock drug and omit the fact that it absolutely is used in human anti-parasitics

I think the association comes from the fact that human dosages are prescription-only, and supposedly no doctor would give a prescription for it to protect from Covid, so supposedly anyone taking it on their own against Covid is taking the over the counter veterinarian dosages for animals.

Actual doctors. Don’t like Fauci pick another actual doctor with expertise in infectious disease and they will probably say similar things.

The reason people’s lives are being ruined is because idiots won’t vaccinate and so we can’t achieve herd immunity fast enough. We could have probably stopped Delta if people listened to experts in medicine about medicine.

Do you listen to dentists about software engineering? Why do people who would never trust armchair opinions in their own field think you can listen to celebrities about medicine? Or politicians?

It’s not a partisan thing either. The antivax thing was a loony left thing before Trump brought in the new age, and if Biden started saying stupid shit about COVID I’d ignore him too. He’s not a doctor either.
I agree with others that therapy is going to help you fix this problem (and others) more thoroughly than trying to muster up the willpower to do what you know you should be doing. You aren't a screwup, you aren't stupid. But you did get dealt a crappy hand and you're (naturally) struggling to improve it.

That being said, the number 1 thing that helped move me out of a situation similar to yours financially (grew up in poverty, poor impulse control, etc) was listening to the Dave Ramsey podcast every day. It probably doesn't matter if you listen to Dave Ramsey or one of the others mentioned in the article, so just go with someone. Though I will say that once every episode Dave Ramsey has someone come on and do their Debt Free Scream where they tell their story of getting out of debt, and then they shout at the top of their lungs, "I'M DEBT FREE!!!" And that was incredibly motivating, and at times emotionally moving and I even cried sometimes.

Anyway, listen to it as often as you can: on your commute, in the shower, while working out, while cooking, while eating, etc. Get it in to your bones.

What this did for me was it began changing the way I think about money. As I listened to hours of Dave Ramsey tell people everyday that saving money was cool, paying off debt is cool and the best way to financial freedom, that the 7 baby steps are achievable, my thoughts around money slowly changed, and so did my behavior. At first I disagreed with Ramsey a lot, especially how he treated some callers (that has improved a fair amount over the years, thankfully). But eventually I saw the wisdom in what he was saying.

> Both immersat and iridium connect 112 and 911 to their own operator

Not unless that’s changed recently. The last time I tried with Iridium (when in an actual emergency) calling 911 wasn’t supported in any capacity. I had to call someone else and have them relay my call.
Given that language is also created or modified by people in order to get their ideas across, wouldn’t it make sense if one can have thoughts arise that don’t fit into language but then they cannot be shared without the creation of appropriate language. I often have the experience of having ideas that I have in a sort of mathematical reasoning space (this here makes that there impossible) that I have to translate into English. (Eg If the the call is routed at the IP layer then they can’t reach this no matter what DNS they have access to)
There are tools that will provide a virtual drive backed by files that are encrypted on disk. I use Cryptomator [1], which is cross-platform and is designed with cloud syncing in mind, but on mac you can just use Disk Utility to create an encrypted DMG.

What if instead of disabling alert etc. browsers just changed their appearance so that it doesn’t look like a system dialog? Make it equivalent to something users could replicate with pure DOM manipulation.

That would prevent tricking users into thinking the alert was a system thing or spamming them with unblockable popups (the alert would only freeze the site not the browser), without breaking any sites.

Your adoration of a fruit themed capital construct is empowering a company that is just as malignant.

Personally, I use encrypted sparse disk images. (You can make them with Disk Utility.) It makes a disk image using many small files in a folder. Might leak some information related about size or number of the contents, but the contents and metadata of the filesystem are encrypted.

This method can result in corruption of the disk image if you’re not careful.

Edit: This is probably the most seamless way to handle encryption. It’s built in to the OS and you can save the password in Keychain if you like. Used it with Dropbox for years. Just make sure to unmount and let it sync before opening the disk on another system.
Core ML and TFlite are just tools for running ML models. Generating the models is the hard part, and that is what encryption will make more difficult.
So far, there isn't even a service. It is only software, which you can use to self-host your pictures, which can serve the same purpose. Both are certainly GP alternatives.

Trump has more of an influence on american society than joe Biden ever will. Honestly, this man is out of office why is everyone still obsessed with him? By all measures he was a decent president, especially good economically and maybe weak with rhetoric and bipartisan appeal. What more needs to be said?

And Jan 6 rioters were upset at changes made to election policy without consultation of state legislatures, which federal courts have agreed is illegal, despite doing nothing about it.
This is exactly what targeting is. Arbitrary GPA thresholds with low ceilings to achieve desired ratios. You can bet there is some rigging in the background for "special" families.

For me the features that make Google photo, Google photo are:

* it's free and comes by default with an Android phone.

* it just works.

If you can make an effortless way to get online backups of my photos at a reasonable price while regaining privacy, then I'll switch in a heartbeat without a single thought about any of those ML-based moat features Google has crammed in their service.
>So you're going to implement algorithms then?

Jeesh, that's easy.

You encrypt the algorithms too.
I tend not to have flow in programming for more than 3 or 4 hours. In writing my experience is that you can have flow for days but at some point it starts to peter out and then you grind to a halt, and because you have been running on flow for such a long time it is difficult to force yourself to just write, because you hope to get the flow back, so then you spend a few days doing nothing but a paragraph or two until you realize you have to do the work and the flow is just not coming back by itself.
Charts CSS: Replacing traditional JavaScript charting libraries in 2021?
Okay it's easy to downvote, but I'll elaborate instead. First of all Google is trainihg AI models on your data and also able to create shadow profiles for people including those who decide against using Google services.

They also used dark pattern on Android for years by enabling cloud sync by default for everything. So a lot of people got all their photos uploaded while they had no idea about feature.

So it's not any different from Facebook that constantly tried to collect as much data on you as possible. Do you know what is evil about facebook?

Nobody is suggesting they should have kept Bagram instead of Kabul. That would have been just as stupid. The facilities are very different, and they needed both. Here's Tyler Rogoway in the War Zone article I linked:

"Beyond shuttling people from Hamid Karzai International, helicopters could be used to pick up evacuees all over the country at unpredictable locales and they could then be flown out of Bagram."

Gen. Milley suggested that the only reason they gave up Bagram is lack of personnel. Biden apparently didn't want to send any extra troops, even temporarily. (Note that they were forced to send extra troops anyway after things went to shit).
To demonstrate this more fully, consider the case of having the wheel flanges on the outside, with the conicity of the wheels pointing the other way. Gravity would still tend to centre this arrangement, but I'm told that if you build such a system in practice, then it won't run nearly as smoothly.

(PhD was 'Residual stress in rails', for what that's worth. Judging from the profiles of the rails I saw, direct contact with the wheel flange plays a substantial role in keeping the train in place on curved track. But on roughly straight track, I'm satisfied that the argument about conicity applies).
Some employers want their remote employees to keep their camera on for various reasons, from not trusting their employees to believing that leaving webcams running emulates in-person office environments.

I wouldn't agree to it, but I've heard about such requirements from others.
