When will you guys stop being fools for a few minutes and stop being coincidence theorists? For once, try assuming that there are 'people' in charge who have nothing but contempt for people with views that run directly counter to reality and are utterly dismissive of valid conjecture and independent investigation. They've lied to you about the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines (they have no idea about safety or efficacy and that should be clear with "boosters" and Pfizer's extensive criminal history regarding forged trial results), they hold big biosecurity events that directly precede releases of dangerous viruses.

https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/fda-asks-federal-judge-to-g...

The FDA has asked until 2076 to release the data they used to approve the Pfizer "vaccine". Deny it all you want, excuse away this behavior with "Occam's razor" and your belief in their excuses all you want. If you do not question at this point what is going on then you are being led by the nose like a fool. I can't believe personally a community of self-professed "Hackers" has devolved to a collective preaching blind trust in omnipotent, proven malevolent authorities..

The one where small vials of smallpox are occasionally found abandoned in lab freezers.
I think it's interesting phenomenon on its own that Kasparov is taking a fairly centrist stance here through a careful choice of words (cancelling books getting tends to be done by one side and cancelling professors is often done by the other side) and specifically calling out to promote more freedom regardless of what side you're on, but here in the comments people are looking at it from a bipartisan blame-shifting perspective.

The parallel to my immediate life that comes to mind is when my kids are bickering about some inconsequential triviality and I say "I don't care who started it, I only care that you stop fighting". It must surely be an "important" topic for them that they feel the need to argue about it, but in the grander scheme of things, the resolution shouldn't come at a cost of a losing a core principle (i.e. aiming for resolution through vengeful means is not a productive course of action).
> Would "I think you might be misunderstanding ego" have been a better way to phrase it?

No.

"The way that I understand the word 'ego,' is thus..."

If you really can't live without applying a slap, may I suggest:

"I feel that this word is often misused. The way that I understand the word is ... If it is applied in the way that I understand it, then ..."

I'm a fairly decent chap. I have some experience and knowledge, relevant to the OP. I'm not at all interested in being a bloviatasaurus, and, if presented with corrections, or alternative points of view, I'm always more than willing to concede the point. I'm not really interested in being a foil to someone's strawman.
I'd say rants are a tad longer. :)
While the broader technique should work for those applications, the platform (smartphone ToF sensors) probably won't. Smartphone ToF sensors have a pretty limited range. We were only able to detect cameras within 1 metre of the smartphone because we're really using the hardware for something it's not intended for.

For the applications you suggest, there are some existing military-looking devices out there that use multiple lasers to find sniper scopes, for example. My basic searching shows at least https://www.ldsystems.us/product/sniper-optics-detector/#, though I'm sure there's more.
Couple of things to clarify here:

- In that article, Kasparov only says that the Trump administration said that, and then he discusses the discourse around that claim in 2020. He does not "[admit] that China definitely covered up evidence from their Wuhan lab" or anything like that. EDIT: I stand corrected on this point.

- Nobody in that thread has actually yet mentioned that COVID claim (at the time of my comment), they're all sticking to what Kasparov's piece is about, which is mob mentality and group think.
You can tell which vested interests have a stake in the outcome by the fact that they choose "risk" over a more neutral word like "probability" or "chance". To the 1% audience, lower housing prices are a "risk" just like fair wages are a "risk".
Hacking the closed-circuit cameras probably only works in a James Bond movie, since all you have to do is keep that circuit air-gapped to prevent it. I imagine that physical access to the cameras' control system is also guarded.

Few reasons why Databricks platform shines here.

There certainly is underutilized housing - many cities will have examples of property being bought for investment and then maybe being an airbnb or totally unused.

What there isn't yet is unsold housing.
BLM's problem[1] is that it's a national movement about local problems. It's city cops, not the FBI, that kill people with impunity. The presidential election is generally not the right place to take action, IMHO [2].

In any event, it seems to me that BLM should focus on police money, and ways to put that money in the hands of people who feel that killing unarmed civilians is wrong, the militarization of the police is wrong, and who is willing to peel off some of that money to fund wholly independent police accountability policies, and non-police solutions to community problems (e.g. community intervention, mental health, etc.)

[1] I am highly supportive of BLM, but even more so of the implied general movement toward police accountability. Blacks get it more than the rest of us, but everyone is victimized, regularly, to greater or lesser degrees, by a totally unaccountable police force.

[2] Except in the unlikely event that one of the candidates is overtly racist, approves of violent behavior, and even pardons military and law enforcement personel convicted of murder and torture. Of course, such a candidate would never be a problem in the USA. We're too good for that.)
That's not how its working here. We are getting near 100% representation from about 56% of votes.

The ballot is approval style voting, you can vote for X of Y candidates.
The suprising thing is not that houses are expensive in Amsterdam (though 500K buys quite a bit of house just outside of Amsterdam), but that houses are unaffordable for average people throughout The Netherlands.

It seems obvious to blame local governments all over The Netherlands who fail to make enough space available for building new houses.
“health officials said there is little chance the virus would spread. “No special precautions are recommended at this time for the general public,””

Deja vu.
Yes, but those are open to very broad and potentially inconsistent interpretations.
Lots of evidence is circumstantial.

Contrary to popular believe, circumstantial evidence is not bad evidence. In isolation, it might not be enough to convict, but when used in conjunction with other evidence, it can create a damning case.

1. The camera contained pictures of owners desk.

2. That model camera was purchased on amazon by the owner.

3. The serial number of the camera indicates that it was sold on amazon and produced around the time of purchase by the owner.

4. The camera was found in a place the person had reasonable, unrestricted access to.

5. owner was found in possession of pictures that look to have been taken by the device, in the position where the device was originally discovered.

* I'm not asserting these facts are true, just stating them for the sake of example.

In isolation, each of these pieces of evidence don't prove much, but in totality, it is highly unlikely that all of those things would happen to an innocent person. Jury's don't need to be 100% certain to convict, they need a preponderance of evidence.

I can see why a prosecutor wouldn't pursue this case against a rich person though. The police are unlikely to do a good job at collecting evidence, a good lawyer will get enough of it thrown out, victims probably won't want to testify anyway, and being a business owner, this person might have clout with local politicians who will make trouble.
There's no need to fear the .gov or big pharma when it comes to smallpox because there's no need to trust them in the first place. The smallpox vaccine is old and very well proven.
I don't know if this is true. I've had a couple of friends go through manic episodes, and while I very much did not enjoy it, there's a world of difference between them in normal-mode, and manic-mode, and I don't think I trust them less as a result. Maybe it would be different if violence was involved - but I don't think that's very common.
Nope. They are more busy than you can imagine and don't have time to waste on things that aren't their specialties.

Assuming the product is as good as you say it might take them 40 hours to really evaluate it. The product might be free but their time isn't.

People have an expectation that GUI applications are bad, especially free ones. For instance, if you use Word much at all you would notice it is mysterious how the selections for "Bold", "Italic" and such work. It seems like your computer is possessed by the devil, fighting against you to select ranges of text in nonsensical ways. This isn't just a problem with Word but it is widespread in most applications that copy the same interface. (Like those HTML-in-HTML editors) I guess there is something broken about the conceptual model behind them; about once every other year I notice somebody else really gets it that there's a problem here, but most people seem to accept it unthinkingly.
I think it’s clear that social media (or more broadly, “the internet”), is exacerbating mental health issues. At the very same time, the ability to connect with people around the world is undoubtedly also reducing mental health issues (for some) by building bridges to friendships and social connections they otherwise would not have.

It is a double edged sword. The internet serves to amplify the extremes. At least that is the conclusion I draw.
Outside of a lab, I seriously doubt anyone would get more than a laugh. Maybe my workplaces aren’t serious enough.
Firstly, the title only vaguely relates to the product. Secondly, the word ‘cream’ outside of a culinary context usually either means some sort of medication you rub on your body, or it’s a slang word for ejaculation.

Bipolar is a tragic disease. It's something that's pretty rampant in my family. You eventually get to a point that the author is. You can't excuse your behavior, but you want people to know desperately that those actions aren't the normal you. There's an acceptance that people will cut you off from their lives, and that's fair. Hurts but its the way it is.
It's also not 1988 anymore, so the "Religious Right" is about as relevant as the Free Silver movement.
Sorta. To your point, it hasn't been proven that it's a lab leak, though evidence has shifted toward that direction. My issue with OP's comment is that he stated it was a lab leak with absolute certainty.
I'll take anything on that list with static typing, and discard the rest. I've certainly enjoyed many of those languages but I wouldn't build anything with dynamically typed language unless I were forced to.
Right-wing cancelation happens, but it is usually reported as a campaign of harassment.

Instead of calling your advertisers to complain about perceived racism, think unsavory stuff like spam and GamerGate threats.

Right canceling grew out of troll and gamer culture. Left canceling SJW grew out of decades-old activism.

It is of similar type: ganging up on someone your group picked as the next victim, robbing them of their safety or speech without a formal and fair judgment.

But left-wing canceling (say, leaving 100 bad reviews on Yelp for a family business of someone going viral for a 10 second out of context clip on Twitter) is way more advanced and sophisticated. 4chan lost gamergate the moment the press focused on the death threats of a few incapable of expressing their autistic rage in an argument.

The left is more savvy. It knows that a single newspaper photo of 3 activists has similar value to a hundred uncovered protests. They know how to wield the taboo of racism as a weapon to avoid critique. They make you remember why their victim deserved it.
That's a great question. I'm not totally sure if this is possible. If it was, I think one-way mirrors would use this technology. For now, it seems like they only work because they only let 50% of the light through + there's a brightness differential between both sides. Perhaps someone more informed about this could chime in.
Thank you for the explanation. But initially I posted that in answer to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29238005 where someone asked about if it would make sense to clone/reimplement somthing like Genera.

With the intent to not having to start from scratch, not necessarily using it as is, but to take inspiration from.
Or not, and really pushing it forward instead, but that depends on so many factors. However, it is possible.

Besides that, did you really have the impression 'innocent people' had to be warned of the consequences, wasted time, whatever? ;-)

Furthermore, either Common Lisp is Common Lisp, or not. So what does it matter, if only few people ever used that?

As soon as it's getting graphical there is nothing besides the two commercial vendors(so proprietary), and old McCLIM.

So who really cares? There is Movitz and Mezzano, why should there be no effort to make Medley modern?

Would McCLIM on steroids be better for SBCL and Clozure?
Who knows?

I for my part like to look deep into such things, to see how I can adapt the concepts(not necessarily code) into my dabblings on FPGAs.

Sometimes I had my mind blown, by things I haven't seen before, didn't even know the possibility thereof. Learning new concepts, applying them.

Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bM3Gut1hIk (not related to topic)

Anyway, I like to go back into the roads not taken, to at least partially re-branch from there. There is much to learn from. From that what we have now, not so much.
Depends on the flu, and on how effective that year's flu vaccine is. The 1918-1919 flu had its highest mortality rate in the young adult range, where it was unquestionably higher than covid-19 (although the lack of PCR tests or equivalent back then make it difficult to arrive at precise numbers infected). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu#Epidemiology_and_p...
I’m not familiar with edit templates, they would be ok as long as they can be stored for later reuse, this is because the typical workflow in news is that you don’t edit 300 photos all at once at the end of the month, it’s more like: you edit 10 photos every day, and sometimes you edit 5 of them at noon and another 5 at 6pm (numbers and times are made up obviously).
It was originally launched as a defensive strategy against Facebook Instant Articles. Those never really took off, so AMP wasn't necessary for anything.

Weird, I pay taxes to fund the NHS, and I get a great deal here in the UK compared to the US. From my perspective your medical system squanders money on inefficiency and lining pockets, while you pay more and get refused treatment more.
Are there any tools that can scan my dependencies and point out names that are typos of older or more popular packages?

Something like: you said "times", did you mean the older and more popular package "time"?
What effect are you talking about? And what does the production process for vegetable oils have to do with anything? This article is about palmitic acid which apart from obviously palm oil, is most abundant in animal fats like butter (~30%), tallow (26%) etc. since its a saturated fatty acid.

Most vegetable oils like canola and soybean have much less palmitic acid.
You can't prove your paper ballot was counted or that ballots were not omitted or stuffed in mass. You also end up with "hanging chad" ambiguous votes.

All this nonsense about recounts last election is because provably counting paper is hard.

You can however prove this in a cryptographic election with results published publicly.
Good luck getting that mentality ingrained into society.
There's no such thing as "tax abuse".

It's either illegal tax evasion or operating within the established legal framework. If a territory is "missing out" on tax revenue perhaps they should take some time to introspect and think about why rather than blame the evil business owners doing the rational thing.
Totally agree with this notion, and also wonder if this article takes into account how much of a wildcard we're all in right now. Standard monetary scrutiny may not apply because we just lived through a global disaster and the world is changing before our eyes i.e. "new normal", "the great reset", etc.. My wife and I are working from home forever and they're just going to have to work with that.

Really? Contacting the CDC after finding "smallpox"-labelled vials in a vaccine research lab sounds like the responsible thing to do and completely unrelated to MBAs.
You can see smallpox with a microscope? I thought viruses were too small to be seen except by electron microscopes.
Anecdata, but my smallpox vaccine scar is a small, ~1cm spot.

The risk of "inadvertent autoinoculation" was my bigger concern - if you touch the site before it's fully healed, you can spread the vaccina virus to other parts of your own body. In rare cases it's been known to cause blindness. Fortunately a Tegaderm dressing kept it contained to my shoulder, but damn did it itch like crazy for those few weeks.
It works pretty well, but might not if making org2/repo55 a copy of org1/repo55 (i.e., forking) weren't free for the user (namely, org2) and maybe a venture-backed startup can afford to keep it free for the user, but a non-profit cannot.
No law enforcement != no action ("pretend that did not see it"). Classic strawman. You definitely got your money worth as your post has all the qualities of an MBA type.
A 5x difference largely skewed towards the elderly and obese fits the definition of “comparable”, but ofc this is assumed to be a downplaying tactic.
The entire Python default windowing system relies on TCL, and companies like AMD use it for a lot of their internal test frameworks because it's easy to implement and well supported. So for embedded, which is people's argument for fourth, TCL is way more useful as evidenced by it winning the industry.
Those quotes describe a taut rubber band that could easily be released in the next 1-2 years.

> With families building up savings during pandemic and increasingly working from home, demand for property is on the rise...

Return to office, taking deferred vacations, etc. winds down the savings.

> labour shortages, global supply chain bottlenecks

won't last forever.

So there's downside demand-side risk and upside supply-side risks, with identical underlying causal triggering conditions (end of pandemic). Oh, and how long can central banks hold off on rate increases?

The risk of a violent crash has less to do with the probability of a rapid post-pandemic renormalization and more to do with the tight causal links between the risks of upside supply and downside demand. Less like "crash will definitely happen" and more like "X_1, ..., X_n all have unknown but likely highly correlated probabilities, so if one happens they all happen and if you get X_1, ..., X_n all at once there'll definitely be a crash"

I think.
