Gas-powered leaf blowers: the most polluting machinery still in legal use
There have definitely been riots in the streets. In some parts of the world, there was with the Panama papers. But there weren't really many important Americans implicated in those papers. Here, we decided to riot over police murdering black people and the election of Trump, but it was honestly probably more about being sick of living with the pandemic than anything else. I think you have to be willing to riot first, then something has to happen for you to react to, and then we point at that event and say it caused the riots. But I think history is more of a series of catalysts than a true sequence of cause-and-effect.

Snowden changed the discourse, but it wasn't a catalyst for change, unfortunately. I guess we're just not ready to change. When we are, maybe we'll look back at these events as early precursors that showed stress in the system before it snapped. Or we'll view them like we do the Luddites: trying to reverse the inevitable course of history.

In my experience seeing a black neighborhood errupt in protests after seeing another black man killed - while I personally think that black man in particular was not innocent - that neighborhood was ready to riot. The police in that area were brutal, abusive, and racist. The people in that area were subject to segregation that saw them receive worse education and job opportunities than the white neighborhoods. The government was unresponsive to their needs and, on the contrary, viewed them as a nuisance bringing down property values, and hurting their stats on standardized test scores. Then a black man was killed and they said they'd had enough of this, and then everyone says "the went to the streets because that man was killed" - which is both true and irrelevant. A small breeze will knock down a house of cards, but the fact that the house is made of cards is more important than the fact that the breeze caused it to collapse.
>Is that intentional from IKBR? I guess if they knew they'd raise their interest rate. If people start using this method more and more then it will disappear. Seen this pattern over and over again in many fields.

if you search around this method has been around for a while, so it's not some sort of glitch. Plus like I said earlier, it's not any different than using the money to buy stocks.

>Also once the money is out of the trading platform and into your checking account you could buy real bitcoin on Coinbase, withdraw to private wallet, flee to South America and never be heard from ever again

I don't think you understand how this works. They still have your stocks. If you flee to south america they don't really care. Should you fail to meet your maintenance margin your stocks will be liquidated to pay back the loan.

>Plus unless you are very wealthy financial institutions tend to look down on people who want to spend money or have the arrogance to think they can start a business, they always punish such behaviors with higher interest rates.

If the masses have taken a term and decided what it means, then fighting against by claiming they are wrong it is just pissing into the wind.

At this point cultural appropriation isn’t used the way you are trying to define it so you are just going to need to come up with another term for your nuanced take if you want it to succeed in the marketplace of ideas.

You do not like that they move money offshore, and that is for a good reason, the super rich have so much resources that they can unilaterally distort the economy. The more concentrated the wealth the more fragile is the economy and the more is dependent on the mood of a few lucky people.

I gave up on both in-ear and over-ear headphones, everything I tried would either fall out or become uncomfortable after enough time and I hated having to constantly fiddle with it. I finally broke down and dropped $160 on the "bone conduction" AfterShoks Aeropex that doesn't cover the ear canal, but pushes against and conducts sound through the bone right in front of your ear. It's been my favorite personal audio purchase ever. It's marketed towards athletes, but it works wonderfully even for pedestrian use-cases like video calls. This is the first headphones product I've ever been able to just put on and just "forget" that they're on for a whole day.

I like that it doesn't block sounds in my environment, it means I can remain aware when exercising outside and I don't get snuck up on in the office, but I can understand why that would be an anti-feature for some people (or maybe use actual ear plugs for that purpose?).

> In dependencies I import I want a perpetual v1 which doesn’t change over a decade and just slowly improves, not v31 - new improved rewrite this year!

> Which this rule explicitly encourages.

I agree with the first part (I'd much prefer having a MyFunction2 in a package if necessary, than a breaking change to the package itself).

But my takeaway from the design was the exact opposite - that it discourages breaking changes, by making them a little less convenient, and that the purpose of the feature was to allow major versions to simultaneously exist to avoid build issues [1]. I think I got that impression by reading the long articles that the team lead put out about the design decisions [2], and observing that the standard libraries themselves rarely break compatibility.

Unfortunately watching various discussions some people do feel encouraged to put out new major versions since upgrades are "solved" (even though that's only from a build system perspective, you're still causing client churn).

If you could do this and turn it into an API it would be quite valuable I think.
My current theory is that every time the masses take to the streets in outrage at the corruption of the system, the so-called "leadership" of the new social movement tries to divert it into their own political hobbyism.

Really? Spatial audio has been solved here for years, the last thing we need is Another Competing Standard that isn't open and relies on specialized hardware.

> If you have an Android phone, good for you. It doesn’t sound as good as Apple’s ecosystem.

If you have an Android phone, there's a pretty good chance it has an internal DAC, which puts it's objective audio quality above the latest iPhone. Sorry to all the psychoacoustic nerds out there, but AAC is still not lossless. And lines like...

> Yes, if you aren’t on Apple Music you are an idiot.

...don't do a whole lot to reinforce their argument.

If you're going to be objective, be objective. If you're writing an opinion piece, be opinionated. Crossing the two leads to head-scratching rhetoric like this, which makes me wonder if it's written by a fanboy or someone who genuinely does not understand hi-fi and spatial audio. I'd like to believe it's neither, but little in the article substantiates that.

> As engineers, it's our job to weigh the tradeoffs between different solutions given the resources and constraints of the situation. For the situation I've outlined above, I'd at least strongly consider a bloom filter but it's certainly not the only way to do it.

We should also not gloss over that with a bloom filter can't rule out false positives, and it's really not feasible to figure out which they are. Due to the nature of hashing, you won't be able to easily come up with a list of false positives. Finding just one hash collision in a wide hash is computationally stupidly hard.

> As with anything, there are tradeoffs and your requirements can change over time. Maybe the ad networks or malware creators start using new domains every 10 minutes to counter your blocking system so now you have to store more data and disseminate it more frequently.

Domains cost quite a lot of money so that is still pretty unrealistic. Sure you can have CN wildcards, but you can also do wildcard matching.

Actually this whole scenario is unrealistic, since you can just serve ads off a random URL. The way you would create a decent ad filter is to look for characteristics in the script itself (a bit like an antivirus program), not base it off the URL.

That depends on where your traffic originates from. Back when I tracked people on my site, I found I got very little from search results. Most of it (> 95%) came from links from social media and Github. On a blog that's heavily about privacy I wouldn't expect much to come from Google.

I don't mean to accuse bankers, if anything I meant to stress that this method has something which doesn't add up .

Think about it , even if your net worth is 1M you still have to go through a conversation with the bank before they loan you money. They want to know your intentions, what are you going to do with it and so forth. They size you up, and the 1M net worth doesn't even count as a tool to reduce the burden of questions.

This method instead : you post some securities and you get a loan with no questions asked. It seems too good to be true or intentional from the financial institution side as it completely sidesteps the due diligence process.

You missing historical order here. Ukraine gave up their arsenal long before they decided to drop Russia as an ally and play with Europe/USA (latter happens after "Maidan"). So at given time point (when Ukraine signs memorandum) they done it with _only_ Russia' protection in mind (as there was single country in past and they're both slavic)

You're still wrong. A data generator is a program that runs on some computer. Programs are strings with lengths.

If you'd like to use a purpose-built computer or decoder for each output, then you need to include the complexity of the computer or decoder in the compressed size. Otherwise you could write a decoder such as "when given any input, output the contents of wikipedia" and claim that it compresses a certain text to 0 bytes.

Donald Knuth: Programming, Algorithms, Hard Problems
Don't have 20 mins to read through but I get the gist. The main argument I'm seeing is that raising atmospheric carbon levels is still problematic. That's true, but I think the article is neglecting the source of the carbon emissions and why that matters.

Coal is a fossil fuel. Those hydrocarbons are trapped underground and have no realistic way of coming to surface in a human timescale. In essence, burning coal and releasing a ton of CO2 is adding carbon to the cycle that was never there before.

Compare that to biomass. Biomass collects carbon from the atmosphere. This is why planting trees is seen as green, a ton of dry biomass is about a ton of carbon removed from the atmosphere. When that biomass is burned, or decays, it will release CO2 back into the atmosphere, continuing the carbon cycle. Yes, that will raise atmospheric CO2, but it doesn't raise the net amount of carbon in the cycle. That's why it's called carbon neutral. Neutral isn't green, and it doesn't have to be. It just has to reduce the amount of new carbon entering the system

I don't think politically charged idea are the issue at all! I just think the way people end up using them waters down the original concepts, then people use it incorrectly/creates a new concept that is divorced from its original meaning. Where it also allows bad actors to use them for authoritarian or selfish means to further their agenda whether it's a politician or someone trying to boost their ego

>distills cultural appropriation down to "Did some non-white non-cis group do something first or value it first? Then white/cis people shouldn't do it or express thoughts about it."

That's my ultimate problem is that news and media regardless of their biases are financially motivated to water down those concepts. Mostly because they can't survive otherwise, it's more about the entertaining version of the news/topic and not the accurate probably boring complicated hard to digest content.

Paradoxical compression really isn't that bad of a problem in practice since you can just dedicate a single bit at the start of the data to indicate whether a file is compressed or not. This guarantees that a file is no more than 1 byte larger than it would be "uncompressed" (since in this case we just add on a byte to indicate we have not used our regular compression algorithm).

It is vivid evidence that macroeconomics, despite the thousands of highly intelligent people over centuries who have tried to figure it out, remains, to an uncomfortable degree, a black box. The ways that millions of people bounce off one another — buying and selling, lending and borrowing, intersecting with governments and central banks and businesses and everything else around us — amount to a system so complex that no human fully comprehends it.

Still not harder than modern physics or modern math. Unknowable is not the same as complicated. The lottery is easy to play and model mathematically but unknowable. It's not that hard to understand: an economy is a set of inputs: govt. spending, personal consumption, innovation, private investment, etc. and then based on these inputs the economy either grows or shrinks, and then this can be indexed to some baseline such as CPI. The understanding of this stuff dates back to the 50s. Just because recessions cannot be predicted does not mean the economy is a black box.
I hear what you're saying, but I don't think anyone is surprised anymore that the rich and powerful are manipulating the financial system. There's also a sort of unreal, weird aspect to these leaks. I get the feeling reading the article that there's either a lot they're leaving out (possibly just because it's too soon for them to have combed through all of the information) or that these leaks are orchistrated in some way to make certain political opponents look bad while other prominent politicians remain un-named and unscathed. I just get a distinct feeling that while yes, this stuff is likely quite true, it's purposely not complete (not blaming The Guardian here, I'm thinking the leakers are maybe leaking selectively).

They mention King Abdullah II of Jordan, but how likely do you think it is that there could or would be any consequences for him? It seems highly unlikely.

Also, they mention that Putin is not named directly in these papers, but we can be pretty certain that he's been involved in all sorts of financial skullduggery. Yes, they say that some of his close associates are mentioned, but even if it can be tied directly to Putin with 100% certainty it would have little to no effect in removing him from power as his power over Russia at this point is too strong for such allegations to have any effect.

And Who benefits from making Zelinskiy look bad?
