This was actually quite interesting to use - walking around my apartment I could see when and where handoff was happening between APs. That was really useful as there some places I assumed that devices would use AP X, but they were using AP Y instead (...or at least my phone did). Seemed to work with all brands/manufacturers of AP.

Sure there are ways to do this with other tools, but this tied it together in a nice useful way.

> What about the people on the right leaving? They don't seem to care about retaining those?

Right, and usually they would. Growth and retention is the lifeblood of everything Facebook does; Zuck would rather cut off his own right foot than intentionally lose users.

Which is why the only rational conclusion I can find with the evidence I see is that Zuck is either afraid that continued inaction was eventually going to land him in jail (or put him through years of Congressional investigations) or they have hard numbers showing that for every X people on the right they retain, they are losing N*X other users, N > 1.
Definitely post on the /r/rust subreddit if you're new to Rust and struggle to architect your code. They're super helpful, and you often get responses from well known figures within the Rust community.

Perhaps also of interest, the Generic Associated Types (GATs) feature is due to land on stable soon (hopefully before the end of the year), which should bring quote a bit more flexibility to trait definitions, including around lifetime issues.

I can only correct this so many times, so here's my drop into the ocean on this thread:

The paradox of tolerance is that if you're too tolerant to nazis, they might take over everything and you wind up with less tolerance.

It is NOT a get out of jail free card for "you don't have to be tolerant to people that you label as intolerant, in fact terminate them with prejudice". You need a credible threat of the 'bad people' taking over and limiting tolerance for it to hold together.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

You're missing a massive distinction in your attempts of comparison.

Yes, your two examples are of a person commiting a crime.

The issue at hand is about the privacy of healthcare/medical status. You cannot say somebody aided in abortion if you cannot prove whomever they were around was pregnant. You cannot ask in a legal sense if somebody is pregnant, was pregnant, or is now not pregnant, and force them to give a truthful answer/disclosure, that's against pre-existing medical privacy laws. Does that make more sense to you?

And in an attempt to make slight sense of that to one of your answers - yes, the act of commiting FGM on a child, or perhaps an adult who was somewhat forcibly taken somewhere to have the procedure done against their will, is a crime committed by whoever did it. However - to convict this person of the crime, the person mutilated would have to testify. As it deals with medical privacy - they do have to and can choose not to testify. Especially with a child, it gets more tricky - the parent to a certain age can choose not to testify per their rights to their child's medical privacy. If somebody was hellbent on trying to make a child testify against the perpetrator, they could attempt a massive legal battle to get state custody of the child, who can then somewhat legally force the child to testify or face some sort of legal recourse. Otherwise, you're basically going to need video evidence of the crime being committed, or an eyewitness account from a law enforcement agent/FBI/etc for any chance of legal prosecution.

An electric k car (i-MiEV) was the one of the first mainstream electric vehicles, made in 2009, but since then charging infrastructure has not been growing at a very fast rate and is quite a way behind smaller European countries. There are several companies announcing electric k cars for release in the next couple of years but they are much more expensive than petrol and I think it will be decades before they are widespread.

Nope, sadly. Amazon apparently can magically skip the 2FA most/all times.

A similar one I just became aware of is Dissociative Identity Disorder, or multiple personality disorder. There seems to be a huge surge of people doing TikToks etc showing themselves going through identity changes (often "rapid switching"), some with hundreds of thousands or millions of views and seemingly a lot of supporters. There's a whole huge sort of jargon/ontology to this intersecting with other ideas and people identify as a "system" e.g:

Systems, Collectives, and/or Plurals are those who experience being more than one entity in one physical body [1]. Systems are under the neurodivergent umbrella, and are not inherently LGBT+, but being plural can impact sexuality, romantic orientation, attraction, identities, and/or gender (such as with systemfluid). Systems can also commonly intersect with LGBT+ experiences[2]. The experiences may overlap to the point of ones queer identities being a large part of headmates, such as within queergenic systems.

I am not quite sure what to make of all this, but we live in interesting times.

Regarding the treatment of Turkish immigrants in Germany, I'd recommend you read "Ganz Unten" (Gunther Wallraff, 1985) which sent shockwaves through Germany when it was published for revealing the racism people liked to pretend wasn't an issue at the time, and leading to many thousands of criminal investigations over the treatment of immigrant labour.

While that was a long time ago, it by no means it fixed the issues.

Educate yourself
That’s absolutely not an accurate representation of what I’ve said, or how this system works.

All it requires is somebody to send somebody else a colliding image.

This will send an event to Apple. There is nothing imaginary about that, it is exactly how the system works.

Now that Apple has this information, the only thing left is for it to be leaked or compromised in some way.

This is much simpler than the scenario you’ve described, because they require the attacker to first commit the crime of possessing CP. Its also possible to do without tipping off the victim in any way.

Apple, in case you didn’t know, is a company that had already been the source of a couple of the most notorious data breaches ever (and has somehow managed to so far avoid getting “sued for vast quantities of money” for them).

What you’re trying to do here is quintessential gaslighting.
I've noticed a LOT of interesting support/maintenance content from Siberian folks on various Japanese car forums. Things like Toyota Chasers, which are bullet-proof reliable drift sedans....but I wouldn't expect them to handle shitty Russian roads well.
> uname -a

so whenever you upgrade the kernel or change CPU all your programs need manual patching? you may answer, "well uname -a was a joke, you would actually check the libc version". this worked alright in a very specific time period with a couple of big vendors with nigh-unmodifiable toolchains with well-defined release versions. it became increasingly awful when people started making their own toolchains with free software and had to patch every single piece of software to properly detect their new libc. sitting through an hour of autoconf sucks, but slogging through ten hours of patching poorly written bespoke configure scripts is a hundred times worse.

edit: not to mention cross-compiling where you can't even run uname -a, and which was almost universally broken before autoconf, which, despite being painful, made cross-compiling mostly work everywhere.
The meet-in-the middle algorithm seems like it could be further optimized. It solves for (((i << 32) + result32) ^ ch) % 33 == 0 by checking each i in [0..32], but since the xor doesn't affect any of the bits of i, it only needs to be applied to result32, which means that the equation is equivalent to (i << 32) % 33 == (33 - (result32 ^ ch)) % 33, which can be solved with a lookup table. (Basically an inverse of the MOD table already used in the code.)
I agree that it's a very likely tactic if Apple and the TLAs are conspiring together. In my mind those two parties have very disparate goals.
> And on top of that. Japanese who have cars drive really, really little, even by standards of similar countries with a lot of big cities close together. (South Korea being the biggest antipod, they really drive around a lot)

That’s a pretty big assumption. By the time you get to Nagoya (3rd-4th largest city), commuting by car is common and families will have 2-3 vehicles.
That was indeed my experience. I used HC extensively, and loved it, but put up with its slowness. The speed advantage of the 68040 Mac over my 8088 PC somewhat compensated, but not completely.

HC allowed "code resources" to be added, like plug-ins, which I wrote in Pascal or C. That's how I created drivers. It gave me the performance benefit of course, while allowing me to deal with just the tiny bits of the OS needed to deal with my hardware.

The hardware was either homemade (microcontroller programmed on a MS-DOS machine), or plug-in boards made by National Instruments that luckily came with a C API.

While the term "jailbreaking" was introduced for the iPhpne, the concept was already familiar to me.

An odd irony is that the stuff I've worked on over the years has always involved relatively slow processes, so I've been able to live with the performance tradeoffs of "easy" programming tools.
Quorum Sensing
The courts haven't failed. If you are referring to the SCOTUS emergency relief ruling, that was entirely procedural.

Important thing to know is that via emergency relief, judges cannot strike down a law, they can just stop people or groups from enforcing said laws. The case that went to the supreme Court was asking for a group of eight different people that have them blocked from enforcing the law. 7 of them were state employees of various positions, one was a private citizen. For the private citizen the plaintiff asked the court to consider the that person as a group, but they did not have time to get that through the courts (I think). The private person ended up signing an affidavit saying they would not try to enforce the law.

If you go search the news, you will find a pro life group has already had a temporary restraining order placed against them from applying this law or assisting other people and applying this law.

You can also bet as soon as anybody brings a lawsuit about this, it'll be immediately dismissed as being in violation of Casey (Roe).
That's sort of an arbitrary distinction. Both are abnormal presentations that cause significant problems in day-to-day life and consequently have clinics set up to treat the issue. Whether the issue is voluntary for a particular patient is also similarly important in assessing an appropriate treatment modality.

Putting the obvious political agenda aside, I would argue teenage girls faking tourettes is pretty much the same phenomenon as teenage girls faking gender dysphoria. It's not helpful to pretend that faking tragic mental conditions isn't a phenomenon among teenagers.
Diesel being so widespread was mostly a European thing; the EU limits set following the Kyoto Agreement were very strict on CO2 (a climate change concern) and much less so on particulate matter (a local air quality concern), which led to a huge movement towards diesel cars in the EU.

I've been to dozen or so foreign countries, and everywhere I see establishments named in English (or even named "Hold the Door" or "Central Perk" - based on American popculture). Another example - quite suddenly, people in Poland started eating steaks and drinking whiskey - something that just wasn't done even 15 years ago.

Oh and the leading newspapers basically parrot a lot of what they themselves read in New York Times, incl. doing interviews with American book writers or even discussing American racial issues (hard to find an international issue less relevant than that to people on the ground in Poland) etc. That's also partly because most of them don't know say German, French or Italian, so they can't really be influenced by those cultures quite as strongly.
We've heard, and continue to hear, vastly, vastly more about the identity politics grounds than the more worthy ones, and in my observation, that's not entirely or even mostly the fault of the critics of merit lottery. It took me years to find any sustained, serious public promotion of the good reasons to do these things.

Instead, what made headlines was garbage like "I just don’t buy into the narrative that any one ethnic group [Asians] owns admission to these [selective] schools" from the NYC school chancellor. A clear attitude that all racial groups are entitled to proportional representation in selective schools regardless of performance.
This has absolutely nothing to do with religion. Unless the Texans protesting against abortion are surprisingly not Christians but members of some other faith that forbids abortion.

Some may claim abortion is against some vague "christian values" but those people either didn't read their own holy book or use it as a thinly veiled excuse to oppress other people.

I kind of agree with the larger point about story telling vs evidence, but this cuts both ways. Your specific example about global warming vs climate change has a history in the US, but in the other direction (excerpt from internal Republican strategy memo):

> “Climate change” is less frightening than “global warming.” As one focus group participant noted, climate change sounds like “you’re going from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale.” While global warming has catastrophic connotations attached to it [1]

> The phrase "global warming" appeared frequently in President Bush's speeches in 2001, but decreased to almost nothing during 2002, when the memo was produced. [2]

Reading the memo, he also goes on to suggest that the scientific consensus is closing against them, but the public is still uncertain, so there’s a window of opportunity for the party to spread doubt about this, and finding and promoting counter-experts works best.

I think, at the time, all these strategies were effective.

To be fair to (the strategist) Frank Luntz, he later had a change of heart, and now does the same stuff for policies on the other side of the issue.

This isn’t true. The term is enormously unpopular with latinos, only 3% use it. The entire spanish language uses gendered nouns, and unlike german has no neuter. The term may have originated with puerto rican academics but it is mostly used by English speakers.

The way twitter refuses to show you the actual tweet someone linked to in the middle of a thread is super-annoying. One thing that can help a little bit (on the desktop version at least) is to load the URL without the referer (i.e., highlight the URL bar and hit enter). It seems to use the presence of a referer as signal to hide the tweet you want to see (???).

But ThreadReaderApp is also a good alternative to just bypass the bad UI entirely.

This quote stood out:

“They are terrified of the thought that any concession by them that can be perceived as soft or liberal or sympathetic, might leak out and be another set of Daily Mail or Sun or Telegraph stories,”

There is a really toxic and dangerous relationship between a large segment of the British media (especially the tabloid press), a large segment of the British public, and the government. It very often feels like the likes of the Daily Mail are the tail that wags the dog, and I just can't see how this long-running status quo can ever end.

Their point is general because the discourse has been run through analogies instead of facts. They don’t have specific arguments to respond to. Any time you get to the facts, they’re weak. iOS may be closed source, but there are avenues for introspection: jailbreak, security researcher device program, disassemblers, proxies, etc. You’d be hard pressed to design a scanning system which implements behaviors such as “scan your whole phone” without detection, versus alternative server side implementations where the purpose and processing is totally opaque.
