Totally agree that Facebook's label bypasses any nuance, but that isn't illegal and we can't make it illegal. It isn't defamation by the dictionary definition (it isn't a false claim), and it certainly isn't defamation by the stricter legal definition. Imagine what would happen if you could sue anyone for accurately quoting you but leaving out a piece of context. Could you sue a movie critic for a bad review that misunderstood the director's intentions? Could you sue for an internet reply that quoted only part of your comment and misrepresented your views? Could you sue a journalist for not printing every interview unedited in its entirety? Could you sue the NFL for stating that a team lost without explaining that a star player was injured at the time?

Edit: Actually, the fact check includes a lot of nuance and discussion, it's not just a "misleading" label with no other context. Read it here: https://climatefeedback.org/claimreview/climate-change-fores...
I got a question about Canadian PR.

Do I need to have a Canadian job offer before I apply for PR?

Assuming that I don't have a job offer, and I end up getting a PR anyway, then do I just fly to Canada and hunt for jobs there? It scares me to just go to a country without a job offer in hand.

From what I understand, getting a PR becomes easier if I already have a job offer. And conversely, getting a job offer is easier if I'm a permanent resident. It's like a chicken and egg problem :)

Also, my mindset has been that, if I'm taking the trouble to move to a different country for a job, that job better be an excellent job. But I also understand that I can get into a less excellent job in the beginning, and then look for other awesome jobs.

(Also, I'm not implying that there's anything "less" about a less exciting job; all I meant is that I don't have to move to Canada (or anywhere else) if I'm just going to end up being a Laravel developer, which I currently am).

Lots of uncertainties.

Also, if one is toying with the idea of moving countries, what are some other places a person in my shoes should consider moving to?
> This is strictly, legally false in the US.

GPs point is the only one that’s in question (covers your point 1), the rest should be straightforward to prove:

2- it appears on Facebook

3- they have appointed themselves as fact checkers and supposedly review the video. They have full access to it as does anyone.

4- the difference between this and other view counts on the platform should be enough.
I think that is over-simplistic, at least since the emergence of a) a genuine progressive faction among the Democrats, small though it may be and b) an insane faction that's taken over the Republicans who seem to mostly represent outspoken racists.
You can't pass off non-Wagyu beef as Wagyu beef unless the consumer doesn't know what Wagyu beef is.

I totally disagree with the organic vs conventional chicken argument. I would suggest that the difference you notice is the breed of the chicken.

Organic vs non-organic and free-range vs non-free-range is not something where you'd say that there is an information arbitrage opportunity. The concept was that this analysis could be used to identify opportunity, not that every single instance of label fraud was an opportunity. Sheesh.
I had a dell laptop around 2012 that had this same problem, on Windows 7. I also remember holding it up to my ear to confirm it shut down haha. And it did wake itself up and overheat in my bag a couple times. I've just avoided Dell ever since when I can. My current work laptop is some sort of Dell XPS, but at least I didn't pay for it.

For clarification, I was talking about the police department's media speakers, who are (at that point in time) the only people that have that information.

IIRC it varies on a state-by-state basis (much like for Florida Man) which data they have to or can publish.

Point being: if the police department only publishes "43 year old female", the media can't publish race, religion, etc..
Let's say it's 2000 years ago and building boats is the next big thing, and you are a boat builder. It's exciting, and you and everyone else are building a lot of boats. It seems very productive, until one day there are just too many boats and nobody needs them.

Someone will eventually tell you "You're a good boat builder, but stop building boats, go learn to make fishing nets instead". That's a bust, even though growth is still happening.

If you are using western accounting methods, it might look like things stopped growing and reversed (negative gdp growth), because you thought last year that the boats were more valuable than they actually are, but there are still more boats, it's not like the accountant destroyed them.

So a bust doesn't mean destruction, it's just a realignment of resources and a realization that what you had wasn't as great as you hoped.

The oscillations are related to feedback delays and how conservative you are about overbuilding. Basically, debt is what feeds a boom/bust. If you wait for your previous boat to be sold before you build a new one, and if buyers wait for the last boat to pay for itself before they buy a new one, then there is no boom/bust.

You can tune the feedback, and that's badically what lenders are supposed to try to do. In practice, policymakers need to be involved as well, because lenders won't do that great a job because they aren't lending their money. Maybe China has a different way of tuning. But basically, debt is the mechanism of boom/bust, and China has a lot of it, so it's hard for me to believe that it is somehow conquered. Good for them if they are better at tuning it, but it's not clear that they are better, and certainly not so good that they've eliminated all the oscillations.
Has anyone used this approach to memorize music?
E.g., for playing an instrument.

I used to be able to remember plenty when I was young and practicing a lot. And certainly professionals can remember significant amounts (and not just the music, but performance details, fingerings, etc).

Seems like a different mechanism, relying less on visual and spatial associations, more on hearing. But perhaps it's similar in that you learn a structure and attach details to it.

Or, having developed a good memory for music, can we use it to help memorize random facts? Perhaps associating them with places in a song.
>preparing for total independence on all fronts

I don't think this is possible, especially given China's energy and food import needs.

But looking at the fragility of being to dependent on globalization and the negatives that come with it (look at deindustrialization of US and what it did to jobs and economic prosperity for huge portions of country, and even COVID and supply chain disruptions and shortages) China can simply determine becoming more self-sufficient is better for them long term even apart from war and expansionist motivations.
You can do a lot more with index funds than you think. For example, you can buy sector index funds to get exposure to more limited stocks, and going further, you can actually construct linear combinations of index funds to gain exposure to single stocks. Maybe if you restrict them to only S&P 500 index funds then you could stop them from trading like this. I would rather they just be barred from trading on insider information regardless of the trading vehicle.
That's standard C# naming convention.

One is possibly true and one is probably false. They're very different statements, and they are about the same length, so there's no excuse to use a misleading phrase simply for the sake of brevity.
The laptops can enter a special standby mode that keeps the network alive, so they will immediately resume when the lid opens. This means, of course, that the laptops never actually shut down and run constantly.
Sure. Same thing
I think this is a good idea. Like a physical disconnect for camera and mics. At some level, I just don’t trust software, especially nothing as complex as an OS, to do the right thing 100% of the time.

Although frankly I’ve never had issues like this with a Mac. I’ve never taken a mac out of a bag and had the battery dead or laptop hot.
Same here (Keyhole)

Funny story:
Back then I was running keyhole with my son who was about five years old. Naturally you want to fly in over your house, so we did that. He saw the house and said "Dad, go run outside!"
GSMarena still does this for every phone they review.

The whole concept doesn’t seem thought out at all. First of all, if you want a phone that comes close to this concept, Apple has a pretty good track record. Second, the reason why it doesn’t make sense is because hardware technology changes/improves in a decade by a good margin and renders your phone incompatible besides basic functionality.
> I am more wary of a government policing what it sees as “misinformation”.

100% a goverment that decides truth is more dangerous than one that doesn't stop it's people from lying.

I think the "FB is evil" is overblown tbh. People are doing that on FB. FB is not doing it, it's just facilitating it. FB is the digital equivalent of a city - lots of people in close proximity, and some stand on the street corner on a soap box and try to get you to listen. It has all the people issues a city does, just bigger.

Or we get that time that the Baltimore (I'm like 90% sure it was Baltimore) PD stopped enforcing everything that wasn't an obvious danger to the public. The only two groups who didn't like that were the government who was missing out on revenue and upper middle class types who were really pissed off that people were riding unregistered dirt bikes on the street. It was kind of a nice break for the common man.

I don't think it has to do with defunding the police at all. I do think is has to do with removing the ability of the police to make arrests or when they do the person is just released. In Portland, when they arrest someone, the DA just releases them.
About a month ago the female owner of a coffee shop was blasted out of no where with an uppercut by a homeless guy. The dude was arrested and let out in less than 24 hours. How do you let someone violent like that just roam the streets? The only way the actually put someone away anymore is for murder. Stuff like this is definitely one factor as to why murder rates are up.

You might want to consider photographer insurance or a third-party warranty with weather damage coverage that covers you if it happens outside the country you're insured in.

Not GP, and fortunately not often, but I have seen that done to overcome race conditions. I pushed for it to be corrected by using a proper design. That was a stupidly hard fight, though.
You can isolate the discrepancy simply by considering just the bottom left quadrant.

When you flip configurations, an extra boy is shifted into the sector, forming the boy pair, so you can now count three boys in that sector instead of two. What is shifted out is just a fraction of a leg, so there is a net gain of one boy.

The remainder of the circle is constructed so that there appears is no net change in the number of boys there. The fraction of a leg which is shifted in replaces a fraction of a leg, and the boy which is shifted out is replaced by a boy.

But note that this is a paradox: you can't shift a leg into one end of a register, such that a person is shifted out of the other end, and yet have the person count in that register remain the same! That's like shifting a 0 into a bit register, such that 1 is shifted out the other end, yet the parity remains the same.

The subterfuge is that in configuration B, there is a Siamese twin body with two heads (A + 2 clockwise). The casual observer glosses over this, because the heads are fused together quite well, and counts them as one boy.

When the configuration is switched to A, this twin head is separated. There are no more Siamese heads sharing a body, and that separation is what keeps the apparent head count the same, even though a head is shifted out in compensation for a leg shifted in.

Another noteworthy feature is that when the boy pair is formed, it is also Siamese twins, sharing one leg. So in the A configuration we have Siamese twins sharing a leg, which gets counted as two people, but in the B configuration, we count Siamese sharing an entire body as one person, because the heads are so well fused as to almost look like one.

If you consistently count all instances of Siamese twins as either two people, or else as one person, then the count is consistently 13 or consistently 12.

The paradox here rests in a kind of "visual equivocation fallacy". The equivocation fallacy is that, during the course of counting boys around the circle in the two configurations, the observer's definition of whether a Siamese twin is one person or two changes, due to visual deception. Well-fused heads count as one person, but joining at the hip and sharing a leg counts as two people.

I stopped using my Microsoft Surface Pro because it had the same issues. It's a clusterfuck of bad design decisions at Microsoft, the most offensive one being that they prioritize the execution of their scheduled spyware upload (telemetry) over honoring the agreement with the user that a sleeping PC will remain asleep unless the user takes action. It'll even install updates at night and then make reboot sounds to wake you up. And the next day, your unsaved open documents are all gone. Plus as described here, many Windows 10 laptops will either burn themselves, or the battery will be empty whenever you need em.

In an event loop model, I've never felt the need to reach for ConfigureAwait(false). Maybe there's certain operations that could be sped up a bit by letting them resume on any thread, but generally I want to be sure that the event loop is executing my code. There wouldn't be much of a point to using an event loop if nothing ever returned back to executing on it.

The Power of Prototyping in User Experience Design
In my hands the iPhone 12 consistently performs better in indoor conditions than my old a5100 (basically a more compact a6000), especially with the awful kit lens.

I like shooting outdoor on telephoto (135mm+), and there the phones are nowhere as competitive, and won’t be for a long time, if ever. Actually that’s where the progress in standalone cameras is: more compact telephoto lenses, sharper zooms, faster autofocus, even less noise. And no, multiframe fusion won’t help when you’re shooting quick action.

Writing this from my 2019 XPS 15 7590 i9 with (extended) 64 GB RAM. The OLED display quality is still the best any laptop can offer, but that's where it ends. Had countless issues with sleep, reboots after being "killed in sleep" for going over Windows sleep "battery drain limit" (can be increased in registry but hey), wifi/bt issues after wake-up, short battery endurance, fan noise (mitigated by undervolting w/ ThrottleStop). (In case I may sound too dramatic, check their forums: https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/bd-p/XPS)

Then there's the classic Windows Laptop "goodness" like bad keyboards, bad trackpad (too much scrolling, jagged scrolling, bad trackpad surface), necessity to emulate Linux/Git/Wsl/Cygwin for any real dev work, having elaborate install.txt procedures for setting up a new laptop.

I wanted to have a "beefy" machine but since I can now do my play things on Google Colab (and my work on company's Macbook), I just ordered the last year's M1 Macbook Air and I'm done with this Dante's Inferno of Windows Laptop ecosystem. Windows 11 just reinforced my disbelief that Microsoft can produce usable operating system before our civilization reaches Singularity.

How is allowing my students, older relatives, etc - who wouldn't be able to use a laptop or desktop machine - to go online and talk to their children abroad using apps like whatsapp - disempowering?

It's the tyranny of the "minimum viable user" [1]. By making information systems that are safe enough for your students or their grandparents to use, the companies have to take away the customizability, configurability and assorted "sharp edges" that make those systems useful for more advanced users. I say "have to" deliberately, because the counterargument of, "Why can't they make both," never seems to describe a real world system.

Whether its Windows, MacOS or heck even Gnome3, the more an information system attempts to cater to the needs of novice users, the worse it becomes at catering to the needs of advanced users. And the terrifying reality is that inexperienced users outnumber us hackers by two orders of magnitude (or more).

Right, but that doesn't mean that the named entity is either the target or even a subject of the investigation. Because the FOIA request is for all documents relating to the entity, if there is even one document related to any investigation of anything that mentions the named entity in any capacity, it is going to be withheld for that reason.
