Of course they're "just like us". Just much more open to manipulating others into doing their bidding.

Lots (most/all?) of people have this trait, but few seem to be able to use it to its full extent.

I, for example, heavily prefer to do everything myself and don't bother anyone unless I have something to offer. Terrible way to live btw.

I do sometimes think how great it would be to have other people do my bidding and make me rich.

The reality that everyone has their own mind is what's off-putting, I would not force or manipulate anyone, I'd rather have robots do all the work instead. This seems to be a common mentality among "tech inclined" people.

Naomi Campbell and Clinton on the same flight. I bet that was an interesting flight.
That document does recommend "school measures and closures" and "workplace measures and closures" for severe epidemics, and it also does in fact recommend "internal travel restrictions" once it becomes a pandemic.

Hence my question about what you mean by "lockdown." This document actually argues in favor of the sorts of things called "lockdowns" in the media, and against quarantines - which was not my personal position, but I think it definitely does not back up the claim that lockdowns (in the media sense) do not work, either.

I would also note that right beside all of the things you quote is a column "Quality of evidence," and the recommendations saying that you should avoid home quarantines and border closures are based on evidence of "very low" quality. So I don't think that you or the WHO actually have evidence saying that these things don't work. The WHO just went with their gut feelings that they were bad ideas. Now we have facts, which supersede feelings. That is an appropriate, science-based reason to change your opinions.

(Also, SARS-COV-2 is not an influenza pandemic, it's a SARS pandemic, and this document is about influenza.)
So you're saying I should have to type a secure passcode every single time I want to read or send a message on my phone?

Oh, believe me, we have hired Corey Quinn (Duckbill Group). AWS budged on some things, but not on the EBS cost.
> did I mention the interpreter took forever and sometimes failed on errors in files that had NOTHING to do with yours, leaving you to manually debug each line?

This is a common (and horrible) issue with dynamic languages that pass functions or blocks of code around. There have been some major improvements to Nix error messages which were included in the last release, and there's also ongoing work to address this through gradual typing.

There was a talk on the latter recently, with some examples that I think make the overall issue pretty clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0J-SclpRYE
This would be difficult to prove. They would have to know for certain the evidence was on there to begin with. I don't see the prosecutor easily meeting their burden of proof on this charge.

This is how the statute is worded here in Illinois:

"A person obstructs justice when, with intent to prevent the apprehension or obstruct the prosecution or defense of any person, he or she knowingly commits any of the following acts: (1) Destroys, alters, conceals or disguises physical evidence."

Ugh. It's a vague law. I don't even know how they would prosecute that for virtual evidence held on a device that they didn't already have a view inside of.
Is it really that hard to believe someone would do it somewhat regularly? I certainly don't do it every day, but more often then not I'll do the same kind of things in the morning (wake up around 4 - 4:30am, meditate, exercise, shower / clean, ...). It's just basic habits

The part after the schedule is weird for sure, but the schedule itself sounds fine.

I use both, though I only use fugitive for "git blame" and I use Lazygit for log browsing and partial staging. With me, it's just what tool will stick, fugitive might be great but I just don't stick with it.

She seems to be sociopathic, it wouldn't be very surprising if she practiced variations of a schedule like this with the intent of molding herself into an image/fantasy of success, as she was appraently trying to do with quasi copying Jobs. It is certainly unlikely she was able to rigidly maintain a daily schedule like that.
"if an employer wants to not hire you because of your race/gender/nationality etc, it can do it anyway in a later stage"

First, you're increasing the probability of discrimination by making it possible earlier on. The number of people that could exclude you goes up; e.g. the initial, possibly external, recruiter (who is screening hundreds of candidates) who would never otherwise have seen your face, can now discriminate on appearance.

Secondly, people are less discriminatory to people they've actually met and gotten to know somewhat. A picture of an anonymous person, with very little other information to go off of, may affect someone's judgement quite strongly; whereas, when you actually meet and talk with someone, have a lot of other information about them, and they are no longer anonymous, physical appearance will have less influence.
How Data Breaches happen and why Secure by Default software is the future
Ulbricht was caught via poor OPSEC and not via a Firefox/Tor 0day afaik. Though there was/is speculation that a Firefox/Tor 0day was used to bring down some Tor markets and possibly to locate the Silk Road's server. Silk Road 2.0 was brought down in like a few months, which could indicate such a 0day existed. Or that it was ran by some former Silk Road staff members who got doxed when Silk Road 1.0 was shut down.

If you read into more detail, it's also easily seen that outside of Japan only few countries tentatively allowed business verticals in the 3.8GHz-4.0GHz range, it's just european "mid-band" overlaps 3.7GHz-3.98GHz that is proposed as a block in USA - and where FAA complains about frequencies closer to 4GHz (4.0 GHz to 4.2 GHz being radar altimeter range)
Many of the books in my library came from used library book sales, especially those I read as a child. When I read them again I always look at the checkout dates and wonder about those people, whether the book had the same impact on their lives it had on mine decades later.
Wait, they have? They haven't responded too any issues posted recently, and I heard from the guy who recommended this extension that you can't even pay for the premium anymore.
I would say this trial isn't as polarizing, so we don't get social media fights between two groups of people. That's, after all, type of an engagement that boosts the trial's virality.

Or the intermediary making money out of the investors want exits, and only get paid when a deal moves through. For many investors they need neither exits, dividends or anything other than capital growth.
Where is any evidence of Tor being a military surveillance project? I find it hard to believe an open source project like this has been infiltrated. Yes, there is suspicion some ECC curves are compromised, but only the ones provided by NIST. I'd really like to see evidence of Tor.
> If people value an item more than those who bought it, they are perfectly entitled to indicate that they would be willing to pay more on a secondary market, and see if there are any takers.

By which point the item may have already been consumed (if not a durable good) or whoever bought it at the discounted price may not be willing to sell at any reasonable price. At least if scalpers get the item you know that they have little incentive to keep it for themselves.

Do you mean changing the American system, or do you mean moving, as an individual, from America?

If "changing the American system", then I think that's what he wants. He seems to want industrial policy, possibly state control of industry -- whatever it takes to employ everyone and give them good wages. A Republican pivot to the working class.

(Or even a Democratic one? (Though that's arguably what the Green New Deal is supposed to be about, even if it ends up being modest.))

If "moving from America", then I agree that's the option he didn't even consider. It may be possible to simply escape the competition. Doing this would rest on geographic arbitrage and the privilege of having been born in a developed country. That might make it "bad" in some peoples' eyes, but it might work for the individual. Even a fairly poor American could be a fairly rich person in another part of the world, by taking their (unfair) Fedbucks with them.
Do you mean domino logic?
>Find the shortest path from one node to all other nodes in a graph

That is precisely what Dijkstra's algorithm does. The limitation of that algo is that it only finds one path from the start to each other node, not all possible paths. As a really simple example, consider a 2x2 graph:

A---B
| |
C---D

If you want to go from A to D, Dijkstra will return _either_ A-B-D or A-C-D, but not both. The "k path problem" tries to find all paths from A to D
The flu mutates at a way faster rate, though. If the current pandemic was caused by an influenza virus, you'd have a whole lot more strains to worry about.

We're only seeing 'this many' Covid variants, because right now it has so many hosts to work with. Whether through vaccination or infection, that will change over time however.
I always liked this one I found in the Illinois statutes - it basically criminalizes every person online:

Barratry. If a person wickedly and willfully excites and stirs up actions or quarrels between the people of this State with a view to promote strife and contention, he or she is guilty of the petty offense of common barratry[.]

Mini-MIPS isn't that different from a conventional out-of-order superscalar microarchitecture. The article even says:

However, the MiniMIPS pipeline structure can execute instructions out-of-order with respect to each other because instructions that take different times to execute are not artificially synchronized by a clock signal.
I think they do it in pieces to get them to start saying yes to stuff, both to get them on a roll and to have a place to pick back up that's not the very beginning if they say no to something along the way.
I think I might pick fan fiction. I'd like craft a story that somehow ties together Xena: Warrior Princess, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars.
"They also found that participating firms attached less importance to interrupted work histories or other negative signals for minority candidates. This suggests that anonymizing resumes may have made it more difficult for employers that were originally more favorable to minority candidates, to identify these candidates, and to assess their application in light of the adverse employment conditions many of them face."

That makes sense. It's sort of like how I wouldn't expect someone from Kentucky to have the same internship opportunities as someone from the bay area, but if I cant see their location then all I have to go off of is the listed experience.
Can't you just produce an article with LaTeX and self-publish the article in relevant forums, a la the Bitcoin whitepaper? Maybe find some researches with published articles about this problem and send it to them asking for comments. If it is indeed a breakthrough it will make the rounds.

Or do you specifically want to publish in some journal?

"Universities in the early 90s had networked X services everywhere."

Some universities did. Mine had computer labs with non-networked PC's running DOS and a single machine with a printer attached that you lined up for so you could take your turn to print. But to be fair it was a liberal arts school with no computer sciences or engineering program.
I cannot wait for EVs to hit the mainstream and see what happens to public health stats. I predict not just air pollution death improvements, but improvements in cancer rates, allergies, IQ, heart disease, headaches, etc.

I have no specific modalities or mechanisms, just that there are so many chemicals and pollutants even in modern unleaded gasoline between the combustion, refining, extraction, etc.

Too bad there's not much we can do about the inevitable temperature rise.

> Why not just deploy Wi-Fi?

Everyone has a potential wifi access point in their pocket. The only people who have the ability to run their own cellular networks are either a) respectful of frequency allocations or b) know a thing or two about SDR. Interfering with 5G systems is difficult to do on accident and has a much higher barrier to entry to do intentionally.

And this is important for one of the use cases listed in the PDF: sports and entertainment venues. When you have a large venue, you will always have people who are using their phones as wifi hotspots (many of them having simply forgotten to turn them off), and this eats into valuable airtime. You can have your APs send deauth packets to rogue networks, but you could still end up not having enough bandwidth for your own purposes. I'm reminded of an article I read about the unveiling of the first iPhone[0]:

> The software in the iPhone’s Wi-Fi radio was so unstable that Grignon and his team had to extend the phones’ antennas by connecting them to wires running offstage so the wireless signal wouldn’t have to travel as far. And audience members had to be prevented from getting on the frequency being used. “Even if the base station’s ID was hidden” — that is, not showing up when laptops scanned for Wi-Fi signals — “you had 5,000 nerds in the audience,” Grignon says. “They would have figured out how to hack into the signal.” The solution, he says, was to tweak the AirPort software so that it seemed to be operating in Japan instead of the United States. Japanese Wi-Fi uses some frequencies that are not permitted in the U.S.

While wifi has come a long way since 2007, if you need a reliable, high bandwidth system in an environment with lots of interference, this is a good choice.

The cover-up in question was pretty plainly a news org not wanting to get sued by incredibly litigious participants (namely Dersh and Prince Andrew).. It's insane to me that people think a Clinton sex scandal wouldn't get covered because of some mysterious reasons.. Were none of you alive during Watergate?

The accusations against Epstein (and association with Trump/Clinton/Dersh/Prince Andrew/etc) have been reported for like 15 years now but for whatever reason it took the Miami Herald's reporting in 2019 to break through..

QWERTY keyboard is widely used for information processing nowadays in Japan, United States, and other countries. And the most frequently asked question about the keyboard is: "Why are the letters of the keyboard arranged the way they are?" Several papers in the field of information processing answer the question like this: "To slow down the operator." It's nonsense.
In this paper we reveal the prehistory of QWERTY keyboard along the history of telegraph apparatus: Morse, Hughes-Phelps, and Teletype. The early keyboard of Type-Writer was derived from Hughes-Phelps Printing Telegraph, and it was developed for Morse receivers. The keyboard arrangement very often changed during the development, and accidentally grew into QWERTY among the different requirements. QWERTY was adopted by Teletype in the 1910's, and Teletype was widely used as a computer terminal later.
> Why did Hwang create a horrifyingly brutal contest that holds human life so cheap? “Because the show is motivated by a simple idea,” he says. “We are fighting for our lives in very unequal circumstances.”

Are you making a profound point about capitalism? “It’s not profound! It’s very simple! I do believe that the overall global economic order is unequal and that around 90% of the people believe that it’s unfair. During the pandemic, poorer countries can’t get their people vaccinated. They’re contracting viruses on the streets and even dying. So I did try to convey a message about modern capitalism. As I said, it’s not profound.”[1]

The director begs to differ.

There's lots of money to be made there - in your examples, the people selling used vans (and then re-buying them cheaply from new companies going out of business), and the internet megacorps selling advertising to all the dog groomers trying to be heard. In a gold rush, most of the miners get nothing, but the people selling shovels can have a good business.
Executives, whether they're sociopaths or not, don't have to hold that schedule all on their own.

PCLX-001 is similar drug in clinical trial that target cancerous cells but spares the healthy one, it's not the same target as the one in the article but I think (I'm not a biologist) that it's a similar mechanism. They even have a test to know beforehand if it's going to be effective in a particular cancer. It's developed by a company named Pacylex.

Computing study refutes famous claim that 'information is physical' (2016)
Sure, if you don't break it down to individual pixels, the data is way less. Ultimately, getting a well-performing GC is finding enough idle/spare/background cycles to scan memory and recycle it at a greater rate than allocation. If the GC falls behind then inevitably you are going to end up with a big pause. I don't think there's enough memory bandwidth to decode 4k video the naive way, but a small terminal will probably be OK. That said, it's still less efficient than just poking the bytes in memory.

Apparently I am in the same league as I returned a book 21 years later. I was an avid book reader and I used to read tons of books from my hometown public library. Then when I started Uni in another town I was home only in week-ends and I switched to technical books to take from said library. Apparently one of those got lost in my personal books when I moved and stayed at the bottom of a box for those 21 years. Meanwhile I got a wife, kids, you know, life happened.

So a few years ago (~2017) we moved again and this time I decided I have too much crap in some boxes and wanted to do a cleanup, therefore I took personally by hand each box in my garage. Lo and behold, at the bottom I recognized this book from the library and when I visited my mother in one of usual monthly visits I also took the book back with me.

Funny enough, the same librarian lady was still there as last time I saw her when I was a student, very near to her retirement. I explained the situation and apologized, returned the book and she laughed off. No late fees, though the said library does still had late fees and would've been quite the sum (a little bit more than my monthly salary). The book in question was an electronics catalog dating from middle of 90's, mainly about diodes and thyristors.
I keep pretty quiet about this out of embarrassment (there's stuff from me from when I was like 14 still hiding on the Internet --- I think there's a tfile somewhere where I breathlessly explain how to use `ls`) but if you email me, happy to share. I was an H/P/A/V board scene person. If you knew NBFC or Whammy Bar, you knew my Chicago social scene; if you knew UPT, my actual interests. My silly Chicago BBS was kitted out to look like a Gandalf X.25 router.
