It is entirely nonsensical to me that buying from alibaba would save you from an overly-inquisitive domestic government.

In any country, you'll end up in a steel cage regardless of whether you bought your computer or software from the KGB, NSA, or a homemade kit in a bazaar in Nicaragua made by a kid from Chile.

My kids will be strongly discouraged from going to college. Colleges have somehow devolved from centers of education into something else entirely. Colleges now often push extreme viewpoints that lack evidence, colleges have dangerous drinking and drug cultures, and colleges bury their students in debt that enslaves them for life.

A good education can now be had on YouTube... I have spent the last year learning construction there and the quality of content is excellent. Years ago, I learned to program quite well using online courses and I am sure those have improved even further. I tried to learn diesel mechanics from a textbook That was the top rated in the field, it is shocking how terrible learning from a textbook is.

I am going to have my kids do a combination of apprenticeships and online learning.

China-Email: Would be interesting to buy email hosting from a super secure email service based out of China. Basically a "trust in math" approach where they operate despite adversaries. With huge claims on the website:

- No physical security: our offices don't even have locks

- Pro-crime-CEO: our CEO is a known (and future) criminal

- Political: we seriously try to read your email for the cops but we cant :(

- None of that matters because our protocol is open source, blockchain enabled, and it doesn't matter if you trust us at all.

Seems like a joke but you get my point. In God we trust, for everyone else use math.

I don't know of any hospitals that were closed due to a lockdown, do you?

the pandemic's affected them a lot, yes, I'm just talking about government imposed lockdowns, which have little in the way of data backing them up.
> Nobody challenges that women are physically weaker then men.

I have encountered multiple people in my personal life who are offended by the idea that women are physically weaker than men.

There is also plenty of evidence of this in the raging debate surrounding transgender (specifically male to female) individuals and their physical advantages competing against non-transgender women.

So yes, I would say there are many who challenge that notion.
depends on the note that you are taking.

Forgiven loans are surely also a handout, although… the whole point of how the forgiveness was structured was to prevent people from firing or laying off their workers. So I think your comment is based on a false premise.
It feels like a PR move before book publishing.

How is that a "kickback from the publishers for forcing these (always crap) textbooks on their students" ?

I'm not denying that black sheep exist, I am denying a pervasive conspiracy of "big textbook" to the benefit of the professors.

Also, an easy solution to not everyone buying Kinko-printed spiral bound lecture notes easily comes to mind...
We can’t all be plumbers.. college is worth it. You get access to technology. For computers it was that way until the 90s when you could get access outside of universities. All of the front end JavaScript web apps will be replaced with automation and drag and drop UIs. This will let some people scale but all those code academy kids will need to find new skills.
The problem with learning advanced math is that math is isolated.

Like if I learn accounting, I know why I'm learning it; to learn how to create, audit, or read the financial statements of a business. If I learn math, it comes across more as "here are these arcane puzzles you need to solve." Like no one does double entry bookkeeping in the abstract; you learn the history, the methods, etc in the confines of an express purpose.

But trying to learn precalc as an adult (which i do get), what's striking is how little purpose or context there is to it. Why do I need to know how to factor imaginary numbers, or know the slope of something?

I think math when isolated is a big reason why its so hard to learn. They teach the toolset but people don't have the need to use the tools unless they go into a separate subject.
You would see a 25% cut in revenue (yielded crops to market) but also would see a cut in your costs (you aren't tilling, planting seeds, harvesting, putting wear and tear on tools, transporting to market) that would offset it.
Not all non-service income, just the income of the standard boogey-men, those very loosely defined as the 1%. Basically those whose income is primarily from capital rather than from labour, and other classes of rentiers.
I don't see where you are coming from. The debt owed to other portions of the government are no different than external debt. Both must be paid in the same way. Neither can be defaulted on.
Out of curiosity, why "the first white person"? Were there other races practicing vaccination? What's the relevance of 'white' here (genuinely curious, not trying to reprimand, etc)?
The media did themselves and the public a disservice by gluing the two theories together and blending them. Several friends - college educated, intelligent professionals - were confused enough to approach and ask me about the lab leak/release theories.

The intentional lab release theory is the stuff of nonsense conspiracy theories. The accidental leak theory has always had some support but is now more widely accepted (but will likely never have hard proof).

For a time, both were bannable offenses on Facebook, Youtube and others. Likely because the media glued them together and assigned them both as "disinformation".
It's in significant use in humans as a dewormer, though. It's used in humans to treat river blindness which is caused by a worm. It's also used for the prevention of worms in dogs. It's fair to call it a dewormer, even if you disagree with including the 'horse' part.

It's not an anti-viral in any sense of the word.
That is very much like running it into the ground. They could have had a strong platform to pivot existing customers to cloud solutions or made on premises better. Instead a book retailer pivoted to that.

OK, that's an argument that the original title is misleading, in which case the site guidelines ask the submitter to rewrite it. If that's why ilamont rewrote the title, that's legit and I made the wrong call.

It's more than fair to say in technical documentation you intend others to use having a grammatical error or missing word is confusing and a problem. It's the writing equivalent of having a bug in your code. And it's definitely not "writing to a target audience" as the parent comment suggested. We all make mistakes but don't try to call a mistake effective documentation.

Centralization and a bureaucracy applying a decision upon a large territory is a good recipe for disaster if the decision is a bad one.

Any "overnight flip to" anything is often a bad decision.

What about what? You can’t drive drunk.
A comment for outsiders: Russian elections are multi-layered. When dominance of Putin and his party is threatened, then the state will employ everything it's power. But within his own party, and on many local levels, there's also a lot of competition — and there, elections can be much less fraudulent. So, those local crooks can't rely on repressive apparatus of the whole state, and have to revert to political technologies and tricks which are usually used in developed democracies.

Boris Vishnevsky, as many other candidates (including my own father) are being elected not through centralised party lists, but through single-mandate districts. (I think it's similar to UK electorate system). And while United Russia (Putin's party) total numbers over the whole country will be very tightly controlled, results of those district-based elections are, in general, much more honest.

That's interesting - wouldn't that be because the actual fathers changed their names in those cases back to the non-Russianized versions (Moishe/Mikhail) when e.g. emigrating to Israel when that ceased to be forbidden?

But in any case, those particular candidates had their names and surnames changed but for whatever reason their patronymics were left intact.
And a 10% inflation rate would be great.

Piketty was wrong you know, in his book, he argues that the capital income increase (compared to labor income) mean that all productivity gains since the 70s were captured by the capital. But he argue that taking the GDP numbers (inflation-adjusted). Because production is hard to mesure with other tools than GDP/GNI. But other economists argues that GDP - especially since QE, but truthfully since the 90s - do not mesure productivity increase, but a mix of productivity and asset inflation (and GDP is only corrected with "regular" inflation).

So Piketty was wrong. Capital income not only captured all productivity increases since the 70s, it even ate through labor income in proportion.

The only marker that can equalize thing in our capitalist, market-oriented economies is a higher rate of inflation. We should aim for that. We need regular inflation superior than asset inflation.
> leapfrog at the cutting edge

is there anything cutting edge about DJI products aside from volume? TBH I think probably the only thing truly special about DJI is that their software interface actually works, but in the world of "all software" it's still pretty janky (the bar is low in drone-world).

The constitution of the US (a liberal system) contains this phrase you might be familiar with. "All men are created equal". Equality is a central tenet of liberalism.

The argument that your parents make you not equal is exactly what liberalism is trying to reject. Someone should not be treated differently based on their heritage (monarchies anyone?).

In fact, since you believe you can't be equal due to parentage, you probably agree with some of what progressives have to say. The current system isn't equal.

Correct, and while it's use as an anti-viral has been noted pre-covid we don't understand what it's method of action is, or why it sometimes behaves as an anti-viral.

I'm not recommending using drugs we don't understand or have a full picture of. I am recommending to stop calling it horse dewormer. At the very least call it an anti-parasitic in use in the 3rd and 2nd worlds.

From what I can tell, Awk really shines in two places, transformation and collation, both of which require some form of structured file. You can transform one structure into another and you can process record by record to some form of collation or summary.
Not sure this would be a solution. In this case it seems like Protonmail wasn't logging IP but then was compelled to by law. So my assumption here is even if they stripped IPs, law enforcement could compel them to unstrip them going forward for an account. And that's what happened in this case.

That said, if there was a third entity that removed IPs for Protonmail, maybe that could get away with it. Kind of like how Tor is functioning.
Let me introduce you to this thing called rhetoric....
Nobody is saying they don't count toward diversity. What people are saying is that the conspicuous exclusion of less favored racial groups does not get erased because they have some people from other groups.

Put more frankly, the success of recent immigrants does not erase America's long history of brutality and exploitation toward blacks and Latin Americans. The latter is a problem that we have to solve regardless.

And I think it's worth noting that some of the immigrants have brought their own biases with them, such that caste discrimination is now also a problem in Silicon Valley: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/27/indian-...
Dang. You need to get off the Internet. These so called "intelligentsia" just doesn't exist.

Why would hiding their ip matter? This article blames Russia without even that easily faked evidence.
I definitely agree with that, absolutely.

I guess my point was, ineloquently put, humans of any color are very apelike in general. It's sheer curiosity on my part whether AI is -only- making this type of mistake with black people, not any cry of racism or reverse racism or unfairness.
I don't think cree manufactures any chips period. They make wafers, which other companies use to make chips. They make their wafers in the US, in north carolina. They are building another large factory in upstate new york.
"Dialect" here means mutually intelligible. Mutual intelligibility is a fuzzy threshold, incidentally. I was in Spain once hanging out with an Italian guy. The Spanish speakers around could make sense of his Italian but he couldn't make sense of their Spanish. I think the essential problem was that they were more interested in understanding him than he was in understanding them, so they put in more effort.
Why Western allied nations in particular? I'm also not sure that list is as universal as you think. For instance, the no drugs thing would likely not apply to the Netherlands.
There is a trade-off indeed. My overall quality of life improved.

I wore a fitness tracker then and now. I averaged about 10 km in a given shift, where as my daily total now is now closer to 5 or 6. However, now I have time and energy at the end of the day to do an actual physical activity instead of coming home like a limp noodle and taking the next day to recover.

Mentally, there is comradery that I absolutely miss. This is something really hard to explain unless you’re in it. When things got tough, the dark humour got us through. We took care of each others’ loved ones (at their family’s request). We demanded excellence from each other, and (rightfully) called out unsafe practice and supported staff as needed.

However, my home life suffered. It was fine at first as my partner is also a nurse so there was a mutual understanding. However, it started to wear on me when I had kids. I’d come home and my kids would be asleep/at school/daycare, so I’d have missed out on a day’s interaction. I realized that they’re only little once and no job in the world is worth missing out on them.
swapoff + fdisk + mkswap + swapon takes two minutes tops. I much prefer that to partition "fragmentation".
It's not about relations, it's about schemas and types. My complaint is that none of the schemas and types are communicated by the OS in an explicit, uniform, programmatic way.

Everything in 'special' mounted filesystems like procfs, sys, cgroupsv2, etc as a start. These all use implicit schemas of particularly named files with particular contents that you have to learn about out-of-band to just to do anything.

Requirement 1: Everything has an inspectable schema.

All the configuration files with their own home-grown format that you can only validate by restarting the program that relies on it and hoping that it doesn't crash your system is for the birds.

Requirement 2: Files that must have a particular format must also have a well-defined Type that can be validated to be correct in a uniform way outside the program that uses it.

Also found LLVM to be pretty poorly documented - often what's out there is out of date and incomplete. The sheer scale of it makes it hard to narrow down what you're looking for too - I've resorted to searching the source code a few times to see how something works.

I love its multi-language, multi hardware target abilities, and wicked fast compiled code - but its complexity, glacially slow compiles, and sloppy documentation are currently a drag.
The article aptly describes what it's like to start working with essentially any large code project, be it open source or proprietary. Unfortunately you are never going to see a project with comprehensive documentation, I'm not sure what that would even look like.

Good, maintainable code therefore becomes an important part of the documentation and being realistic about this from the start probably improves your "reference" or "manual", where it's better to focus on high-level or architectural concepts, and link to where to find the nitty-gritty in source.
SaaS benchmarks series: Revenue growth
> In summary, Sri Lanka has been facing an economic crisis and is struggling to pay for imports with rising exchange rates. One of the effects of this has been a push to reduce dependence on foreign imports across many sectors — including fertilizer.

I was following it as well, but still got dragged into off-topic.

The root cause was the current Marxist government committing a complete fiscal suicide, and then trying ham-fistedly to ban people from spending their Dollars under every silly pretext.

Sri Lanka is a DEEEPLY DEEEPLY indebted nation after two previous governments, the current opposition's one, and previous incumbent's government maxed out country's credit card to buy votes, and draw fictional economic growth from debt.

P.S. And ironically, the complete economically inane political leadership will now smash Lanka's FX account even more by destroying the few of country's export items.
People do care, but it's a hard problem to solve well without the help of browser makers. I don't know why Mozilla aren't trying to move the web forward in this way, but the usual argument is that browsers shouldn't implement features that web developers aren't going to use, which causes a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

The main disadvantages of SecureBookmarks are that the address bar contains the Data URL (rather than a trusted domain, with a padlock) and it is difficult to upgrade a bookmark. Technically, though, it should be possible for the server to keep a record of the latest version the user has opted in to, and that value could be signed by the user's password which the server never sees. That way only the initial web app bootstrapping code is not upgradeable.

I agree that the response from the Signed Pages devs has been disappointing, but for balance I should say that their claim seems to be that protecting against downgrades would necessarily prevent gradual deployments of complex web apps. I'm not convinced about that, but haven't looked deeply into the technological limitations. In any case, the lack of downgrade protection doesn't make the extension useless, since it improves the security of web apps from having to trust an online TLS key to trusting an offline PGP key.
A modern NVMe on PCIe 4.0 can deliver up to 5GB/s, which is only 4 times slower. You can get faster by using RAIDs and I believe some enterprise class stuff can get a bit faster still at the expense of disk space. PCIe 4.0 would top out at 8GB/s, so for faster you'll need PCIe 5.0 (soon).

The next step in the line of reasoning is that their genetics have divine provenance. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_Wealth_Gospel

Essentially: I'm rich because I'm smart, and I'm smart because God wanted me to be, therefore God wants me to be rich. Conversely God wants poor people to be poor. If He didn't want that, then He would have made them smarter.
