I don't think TOR has to be justified by giving such use cases. Why can't I be a normal person and still use TOR for my browsing?
Don't forget the upper bound on monthly rent per sqm on buildings older than 100 (?) years. That plus public housing puts pressure on the market.
You can customize the menu (and I do) to add a Git menu sub panel (for lack of a better word) that has an up and down arrow for push and pull.

In the lower right, there's the vcs "where you're at" that shows the current branch. From there you can see the status of your branch compared to others (if you need to fetch them), or you can update branches (even those you're not currently on) along with branch specific operations including push. You can access the same in the git panel with right clicking on branches in the log.

At any time, you can double tap shift to bring up the "search everything" window. Within that, if you type "git push", it will display that action along with the menu that action is in and any key shortcuts that are bound to it.
Kinda. Germany is not famous for high salaries in tech.
This wouldnt apply for Switzerland, UK, Netherlands etc.
The number of Italians emphatically gesticulating with their hands is very likely 0 if you take a snapshot of people walking on the streets of some big city in an average morning. Yet, that stereotype is not entirely devoid of information.

It's crazy to me the amount that people who have never dealt with the cops think "I'll just show them x legal code so they can see they don't have the right to do that." Turns out, they don't care. For minor infractions, they'll use whatever intimidation and coercion they want, then make you feel lucky for letting you out because they didn't feel like prosecuting. In most circumstances, the word of the person with the most power is law, regardless of what the actual law says, and usually that's the guy in the uniform with the gun.

I love the idea of a roguelike farming game. Often I feel bogged down in lategame, and regret early decisions I made. Faster mechanics and restarts would help a ton. Good luck!
Recently learned that every continent, except for Europe and Antarctica, have at least one native species of bamboo. Honestly, I only thought it grew in South and East Asia, so this was pleasantly surprising to learn of.

A HP is 75 Kg raised by 1 meter in 1 second (and is roughhy 750 W):

Raising 1/10th of the weight by same distance in the same time should be 1/10th of that i.e. 70-75 W.

I say "click" but I really mean select. Mouse or keyboard doesn't matter to me. Something being a GUI instead of a TUI doesn't mean it can't be designed to be entirely keyboard driven (and hell that goes the other way too: since a TUI can get mouse events, you could write one that isn't fully keyboard driven).

The key point I was trying to make is that an interface that minimizes the amount you need to type out and that gives you instant feedback to your actions is a superior experience for working with Git in many cases. I say this as someone who uses Git from the command line a ton (to the point where I've added some custom command scripts) but then when I need to do anything complex or browse the logs and diffs I'll enter `gitex` to bring up the Git Extensions GUI.

There are 2 tiers of people in Theranos:
1) those 'in the club' - Epstein-tier
2) those 'not in the club' - rich but still outsiders

#1 had an agenda
#2 got clobbered
Not to minimize what happened with Theranos but I suspect a lot of discussion around it is and has been shaped by the larger problem it is a small part of. Yes, there was blatant fraud and lots of blame and harm of various sorts to go around the whole network associated with it, but for every one Theranos there's who knows how many more that are part of something more subtle but collectively no less problematic. Maybe Holmes was engaging in outright fraud, but for every one Holmes doing that, there's probably 100s across various fields bending the truth systematically to various degrees short of what Theranos represents.

I think it's possible to deny that.
I simply do believe that the central reason is that there is a lot of (also psychological) pressure to give lower time estimates than what is realistic.
I've watched the video three times and I have my doubts.

Why is the robot arm a right arm and the one manipulating it a left arm?

Why is nothing above the elbow shown?

I am not saying this is fake, but it wouldn't be hard to fake. A few little zipping noises, some body paint, speed it up slightly, add in some CGI muscles underneath the skin...

Again, I'm not saying it is fake, but it could easily be. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Agreed. But it makes implementing and testing a lot easier for us. We try to minimize the dependencies as much as possible.

Do you think it also comes in the way of understanding the paper and learning how to implement it?
You're talking over each other. It's plain to see. The conversation you're having rests upon the answer to the questions: "What percentage of Tor usage is malicious compared to VPN, electricity, crowbar usage, etc.? And what percentage is morally acceptable?". Just pointing out that Tor is used by some good people and some bad people some of the time is useless on its own.

Personally, I have a suspicion, that despite my love of freedom, Tor usage is probably primarily paranoid people and drugs, and a small percentage facilities anonymous exploitation of children in a way that no other technology can. I would love to be proved wrong and see some facts that Tor is actually a net good for the world.

Also one thing I've noticed is that the majority of good use cases for Tor you can achieve with just the Tor browser, whereas the majority of bad use cases you need Tor hidden services. E.g. as a journalist you can still use Tor browser to talk to your sources anonymously. But try hosting a drugs website or child porn on the clear net: you need Tor hidden services for that. Basically you'd only really use hidden services if you want to host content that is banned in every country, e.g. pedophilia or drug network. Whereas if you're a freedom fighter, why not use Tor to connect to a Wordpress website hosted in a country that's sympathetic to your cause? I just don't see a use case for hidden services. Yes, it is less trust in a central provider, but at what cost? You can also just move hosting countries. "At what cost" goes back to the first two questions and it would be interesting to know how we all feel about it.
I feel like local governments running some sort of federated network like that would be really cool, and could reduce some of the political influence twitter has. How local "local" is could be anything from a city to state/province to country-wide. Unfortunately, I think it would require centralized or federated identity management which is pretty complex, especially at a government level.
Would rather hear the props and motors than the music.

>> What will they like? Which places will be interesting?

That's the point. Pick something at random, you'll learn what you find interesting together. You can even bond over discussions about what you didn't like. As long as "random" isn't something that's a hard NO for either party you should be good.

This is myopic nonsense at best and most likely a cynical hit job driven by some dark agenda. Facebook is the natural result of a regulatory and cultural environment that has not yet caught on to the fact that as a species, culturally and biologically, we are not built to be interacting directly with millions of people in real time. We, as in the human race, need to take this challenge very seriously, and work to understand and modulate the astronomical imbalance between our individual data processing capability and the amount of information and disinformation that is now easily accessible.
To me that is way beyond some PR. Saying the rocket will be red and then it's blue, that might be PR, it doesn't affect the overall business and in the larger of things is irrelevant. Clamming you will be providing p2p travel to many destinations in the world is a whole other segment.

These announcements go beyond PR, they are borderline fraud.
I've not experienced this and I suspect most people don't is all. It's probably not personal and certainly not magic marketing sauce.

Indeed, in England and Wales:

"You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."

In Scotland it's different:

"You are not obliged to say anything but anything you do say will be noted down and may be used in evidence. Do you understand?"[1]

You're comparing highbrow literature reviews in leading magazines to short instant messages, which are a significantly different medium designed to be read by one or two people once, and then thrown away. Your best comparison is telegram style[0], which is not dissimilar to today's texts—complete with its own slang and shorthand. Nobody's writing "u up" in the New Yorker.

Well for one, it's not out yet, so all we have are reviews. It is available for pre-order and will be on the 9th of November though.
We can't know, of course, but I expect he would have applied his talents in some more practical field and had considerable success there.

I also think there were 100 just as talented people born in Germany at the time, who mostly ended up doing well working in other fields.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that. Personally I don't want to watch squid game at all, and am only slightly more curious about Parasite.

That's not because I don't sympathize with the politics, on the contrary. It's because I feel like I have enough reminders of what kind of world we live in already. I keep coming back to something Thoreau wrote: I didn't come into this world to fix it, but to live in it.

In some countries that became illegal over a certain threshold of expense the payment must be traceable).

I was recently told (but did not verify) that car sellers, in some countries, out of some regulation, nowadays will even ask you how you "made" that money. (And I replied that they'd better know better before being impertinent.)

You're absolutely right, and it's insane that people don't realize this. So many people that want police reform in the US think that somehow we can continue to let the police be mostly made up by people with a certain political persuasion and education level, and that we can simply control them with laws and incentives.

Whether they are separate issues or not depends on the company. There is certainly an incentive for companies to make their ethics secondary to profit. Therefore, right now, from a consumer's perspective, it is a matter of trust. And strong consumer protection can help increase certainty for the consumer.
Can someone please answer this? I'm so curious. The only real life use case that I've seen mentioned is "programmatically generating models, for example from a config file".

But due to Python's dynamic nature, this is already possible. AllenNLP is a great example of that.

Any records of what she actually said to investors? Imo, it was likely just the usual pitch with vague promises and a lot of "believe/estimate/think/consider/approximately/likely/close to/in development". Just like any other startup before they strike it big or lose millions.

Looks more like she "messed with the wrong mf'ers" as they say. Tbf, $1 billion is a lot of money.
"Does anyone genuinely believe any for profit company gives two shits about its customers?"

Yes. I've worked for them and with people who were very concerned about their customers.

Some of us actually care about value being delivered to a customer and the public. Were not all a bunch of greasy mountebanks gaming people to maximize returns.
git revert is probably what you want?
Even if the feature warned users, Apple and Google would not be off the hook. It’s entirely possible a prosecutor will go after them for implementing a feature designed to evade police and destroy evidence.

Us programmers tend to thing the law is black and white and a legal disclaimer solves all issues, but it’s not. The law can be (and is) a gray area determined by the courts on an individual basis. Judges don’t look fondly on technicalities for skirting the law. After all, they are humans, too. Not computers.
Scientists have exactly the same behavior, bias against the paradigm breaking new. Of course this does a good job most of the time filtering out crap, but any big changes that are legitimate are going to have a whole lot of pushback.

Did you expect a new country wise economic model to be purposed in this article? I believe the author was trying to say, "Poor people are getting screwed, some jobs dont pay well, the environment is bad, lets do something and not forget it."

It is a solution? No. I don't think it is trying to be though. It's just trying to be a reminder that letting everything go back to the way it was is the easiest route forward and the quickly route to getting back on the shitty path the country has been on for the past 20 years.
Isn't Dwarf Fortress somewhat of a roguelike farming game? It definitely features farming (and crafting, and raising cattle and ... literally everything else) and has been called a "honorable roguelike" before.

There's also different types of "smarts". I think ability to memorise or generally know a lot is very different from noticing patterns or understanding of how things work and relate to each other.

Especially nowadays, there's Google, you don't need to memorise a lot as you can just check everything.

I think even Einstein said that "don't memorise what you can quickly check up" or had a similar sentiment.

Very often trivia kings and queens don't know how to apply that knowledge practically and a lot of knowledge has benefits just to appear intelligent to other people.

Also not to mention street smarts, emotional intelligence, leadership int and many other aspects.

What made Einstein special to me is his ability to imagine how things work together and then he and or his mind kept endlessly obsessing over it to reach further and further conclusions. Essentially trying to create a model of the world and or trying to simulate in mind whatever is happening and which can lead to greater insights of what is causing what.

I think true understanding is being able to imagine and predict how something works as opposed to memorising a lot of information about the thing.

Is the article trying to say that the investors somehow wanted or at least tolerated that Holmes skirted the rules and scammed patients? That would seem incredibly short sighted.

It's much more likely that she misled investors, and isn't that exactly what the lawsuit is about?

> This dismal success rate is why venture capitalists historically have rarely invested in these companies. So why then did they collectively put $1.3 billion in Theranos?

Well in that sense, most venture capital investment stems from "greed", but surely that's the whole point, to leverage the "greed" of risk loving investors into funding new ventures?
I was an engineer on the Visual Studio team at Microsoft from 2002-2009. If you had told me it would eventually run in a web browser I would have thought your were crazy. Back then we had to work closely with the core Windows team (memory optimizations, etc.) just so that it could run natively on a semi-beefy PC. I'm pumped that the team has been able to pull this off!
I agree it's pretty grindy, but there was a free DLC that introduced "workers" (zombies) and that cut down on a lot of the grind.
Not sustainable or cost effective. Look at the amount of labor and processing it takes to make one sheet of plywood!

By comparison, plywood manufacture is a simple process. Entire logs are shaved into veneer sheets, rough cut, laminated together then finish cut.

302 Euros for a 4x8x3/4 sheet of 5-ply plywood that's inferior in most ways to hardwood plywood is crazy. By comparison, the same sheet of hardwood A-B grade plywood would run somewhere between $40-$80 a sheet.

Trees are a great sustainable and renewable resource, they just take longer to grow.
