I am not really sure how a scholarship could do otherwise, but arguably it's better to support 10 LGBTQ kids who aren't in a position to be able to get the credentials to get a scholarship.

Ideally you'd do both, I'd hope, just because we haven't solved world hungry doesn't mean scientific research is a waste of time and money. Don't get me wrong, it's ridiculous that we haven't solved world hunger, but we can also both support people with a social safety net and also support education.

Still waiting on that social safety net though.
They didn't lose their lives for destroying cars. They lost them for attacking Rittenhouse.
You can add the top directory you use for dev projects to Windows Defender exclusion list. Also, your build tools or IDE processes can be added. For example excluding devenv.exe has a very important impact on Visual Studio performances.
And they complied? It would be more worse if they didn't comply or respond at all.

What's the issue?
Normally, both natural and artificial persons have responsibilities as well as rights. But a gorilla or a river obviously can't have responsibilities... Therefore at most they can be considered a rather limited kind of person, more like a human infant or an intellectually incapable adult than a regular human or an organisation of regular humans.

Then of course it falls to humans to determine what the best interests of these "persons" are, and to actually pursue those interests, and to judge whether those humans acting on behalf of these "persons" are actually acting in good faith (and what do we do if they aren't?).

Seems to me this "personhood" concept mainly muddies the waters (so to speak) and it would be simpler to pursue conservation ends without it.
> If there was a protest in the UK and someone brought pepper spray, would that be interpreted as a sign to use it?

Pepper spray is also illegal in the UK.

> If during that hypothetical protest, there were people jump kicking him and swinging skateboards at him, and he used the pepper spray, would he be charged with battery for bringing the pepper spray in the first place?

Basically, going prepared with any form of weapon in the UK is illegal.

If you picked up something off the street, a piece of 2x4 that was lying around, that sort of thing, then you're likely to be OK if it's clear you were under attack. But if you're packing weapons ahead of time to go out to an event then you should either not go or expect that you will be charged with a criminal offence if you get involved in any trouble.
Data hacked for 400k Planned Parenthood LA patients
Wow. This is both very bad and very good.

Good in the sense that we’re definitely going to see some patients that are publicly against things like planned parenthood yet still personally use their services… wonder if we’ll finally see them shout for stronger data security.

The bad is quite obvious.

Also of note: The greater LA metro area is populated by roughly 19 million people - equivalent to the combined population of the lowest 13 states.
If Billionaires must give away their money rather than give it to inefficient gov's in the form of taxes I'd much prefer that do they do things that involve market forces that improve the world as a whole.

A great example of this I feel is (and I'm biased here, I work for one of his businesses) Andrew Forrest.

Using his business connections and buying power to try and force a clean supply chain from slavery.

Using his investing and business building capability to develop Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia supplies and doing it in places that can utilize their renewable resources to export them.

etc etc

Its not a perfect set of solutions, but it fits in a capitalist gov corrupted world, so that we all benefit.
Putting himself and his money out there in a way that benefits everyone and also those not involved. Making market forces be profitable AND responsible in a way that isn't just greenwashing or just dumping money into a pet charity.
Netflix, in it's early years, actually had a really good recommendation engine.

But then they figured out there's more money in not just giving you what you'll like best.
Mackenzie’s money is as tied or not to operational realities as Jeff’s, as their fortunes are in the form of Amazon stock. Both of them are capable of saying “I am selling X shares to give to philanthropy” except only one of them does it.
It's fun too to see how the translator decides to translate things. For example I wouldn't translate "Eristische Dialektik" as "Controversial Dialectic" instead I'd prefer "Eristic Dialectic." It might be on account of reading the Illuminatus! Trilogy in my formative years, but I prefer the more literal translation of that one.
Will do, haven’t had a chance to write that up fully yet!
Most of those would be rewritten to a more descriptive title if they hit the front page.
That doesn’t make it correct or fitting.
To me, one reason that Knox's Decalogue is interesting is that it's venerable enough for there to be stories that deliberately play with it. I'm particularly aware of the visual novels Virtue's Last Reward (which arguably makes a point of violating the letter of each of the rules while preserving their underlying intent) and Umineko When They Cry (which is hard to explain without blatant spoilers except to say that the rules wind up being much more important than they initially seem). I'm curious as to whether there are other examples of this phenomenon.
Note that the readme is outdated. With the upcoming 0.17 release, which is in the making for almost a year already, you can link multiple versions of ring in one executable: https://github.com/briansmith/ring/issues/1268

Similarly, while the policy is still that ring only supports the newest rust compiler version, due to the fact that there has been no update for months already, you can use it with older compiler versions.

Last, the author used to yank old versions of its library, which caused tons of downstream pains (basically, if you are a library and are using ring, I recommend you have a Cargo.lock checked into git). This yanking has stopped since 3 years already, too. Don't think this was mentioned in the readme, but I feel it's an important improvements for users.

So a great deal of things has improved, although I'd say only the first bullet point is a permanent improvement, while the second two might be regressed upon. idk.

WTF is with all the Twitter replies?
In 1324 Mansa Musa gave away so much on his pilgrimage to Mecca that he crashed the North African gold market for ten years. On his way back, realizing that he had caused massive inflation, he borrowed as much gold as he could with high interest rates attempting to bring the price back down. It's the only time in recorded history that a single man controlled the price of gold for the Mediterranean.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansa_Musa
They made that decision themselves.

This isn't a case where they attacked him and then he pulled out a pistol and shot them. This was open carry with a rifle. To answer the point you made, they made the decision to attack a clearly armed man and thus evaluated that attacking those cars was worth their own lives.

Interesting, but misleading beyond the title. One part that deserves attention about the Israel outbreak:

"Fourteen fully vaccinated patients became severely ill or died, the two unvaccinated patients developed mild disease". This seems to imply an adverse effect of the vaccine. On the contrary, what happened is that patients were either older or had comorbidities - check https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.E... and https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/table/10.2807/1560-...

The last phrase of the article, though, has its merits:

"It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures."

This is true. New measures like the new italian "super green pass" exclude unvaccinated from certain activities (cafes, theaters, cinemas) even when
they can exhibit a negative Covid-19 test. This makes no sense; the latter
group has fewer chances of transmitting the disease than the former.

On the contrary, it could make sense to have an "admission priority" in hospital wards when they're full, depending on whether you're vaccinated or not; because, hospitalization-wise, that's totally relevant. No vaccine would imply lower priority when requiring access to medical wards.

I am a 3rd year undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas majoring in computer science (and dabbling in quantum physics).

I'm looking for Summer 2022 internships/part-time work related to cutting edge cryptography research and security (doesn't have to be related to cryptocurrencies). Work related to Fully Homomorphic Encryption and Zero Knowledge Proofs is ideal.

I'm currently taking a graduate course in cryptography, am working through the Cryptopals Crypto Challenges (https://github.com/TheEnthralled/cryptopals), and am currently one of less than 100 students nationwide to complete task 1-7 of the 2021 NSA Codebreaker Challenge (https://nsa-codebreaker.org/home).

If you would like me to do some "pre-emptive onboarding" by reading up on material, sharpening skills, etc., before Summer 2022, I'm sure I'm able to do so.

Thank you!

Works great on my Android phone in Chrome. Oddly there's a message on startup saying WebGL won't work on mobile.

EDIT ah, it's unity's fault apparently. According to caniuse WebGL is golden for all mobile browsers. They should get with the times ;)

One thing that the demo could improve on in the mobile department is that scrolling is too sensitive. Most attempts at tapping to modify the structure result in a totally random change of the camera.
I actually really like it, it's great.

That this thread includes a couple of comments like this is really interesting.

> I am not really sure how to scholarship could do otherwise

There are whole countries where higher education is provided to all interested residents, e.g., Finland, Norway, right?

I’d agree we should do both -- I don’t actually see a distinction between solving hunger and supporting education, they’re two sides of the same coin.
There isn’t an issue and I don’t know why you’re looking for one. This news resolved the issue that existed.
The readme there refers to WFC as "constraint propagation with a saved stationary distribution" which makes sense; the goal is to have distributions of tiles similar to the sample image.
"We are often told that the poor are grateful for charity. Some of them are, no doubt, but the best amongst the poor are never grateful. They are ungrateful, discontented, disobedient, and rebellious. They are quite right to be so. Charity they feel to be a ridiculously inadequate mode of partial restitution, or a sentimental dole, usually accompanied by some impertinent attempt on the part of the sentimentalist to tyrannise over their private lives. Why should they be grateful for the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table?"-- Oscar Wilde

I was well aware that Leonard Bernstein didn't want to be "just the guy who wrote West Side Story" -- he did lots of more serious stuff. But dammit! None of it ever made as big a noise as West Side Story did. I guess Sondheim felt the same way.

But you know, that's a pretty good life's work, right there.

"Send in the Clowns" could be call a tired lounge-act song, but when you hear it in its proper context, in "A Little Night Music" sung by the aging actress, you understand why it was a success.

The NYT said:

In the song “Somewhere” from “West Side Story,” for example, the highest note in the opening phrase is on the second beat, which means that in the well-known lyric — “There’s a place for us” — the emphasis is on the word “a.”

If you're really a perfectionist, I guess that's a problem. Most of us would be thrilled to write anything 1/100 as good as that song, even if it did have an emphasis on "a".
The effect doesn't appear to work very well at all in chrome on my Android phone.

I'd agree with you, but we hold publishers liable to whatever they publish.

My understanding is as follows. As a platform, the rationale for section 230 protections is that you are not the one making the comments, and are thus just a platform for the speech of others. The speaker, and not the platform, is thus the one liable for the speech. Conversely, a publisher, while not the one writing (contributors write, and the publisher publishes), still bears the brunt of the liability.

I thus think it is intuitive (to me at least), that after a degree of control is exercised, this flips into being more like a publisher than a platform, and should be treated as such. The question then becomes where to draw that line.

I like this man. I think the only thing we'll look back on is, considering how those who came before us delivered so much with so little (compute power, parallism, safety, tooling), how we fell so far from grace and fuck things right into the ground with slow, unsafe, useless piles of garbage that don't even perform their primary duties well other than collect data.

Much better mood and self-confidence. I feel attractive, and that helps in interactions, and capable of handling challenges as I feel stronger.

I feel physical progress rather than decay, so I feel confident of a healthy future for myself. Group exercise has also helped me socialize.

This is definitely a prelude to some kind of blockchain thing they will attempt to undertake.
I think this guy is very optimistic on cloud if he thinks in ten years people will still view it as the right way to go. A bunch of monopolies are using various levers to push companies to shift to a model with uncapped spending (literally), with a huge extra profit margin. Cloud has benefits for two narrow segments of business: Rapidly scaling new companies and extremely globalized companies, and makes basically no sense for anyone else.

As regulations catch up, national borders continue to impact how businesses operate across networks, etc., I doubt the cloud model will still look good in ten years. Half the benefit of the cloud is just being... newer. Interfaces are often more modern simply because, well, the Windows Server team all started working on Azure instead. A decade from now, people will look at the pains and problems of working with AWS and Azure the way people look at dealing with Windows Server and hardware maintenance today: Looking a little rough.

I can't guess Bezos' reasoning and philanthropy beyond that -- I don't have access to his taxes to state if he gives some amount secretly or not. I would be more surprised than you if he doesn't give anything as there is a substantial tax incentive.

But a lot of people give away or become art benefactors in the U.S. because taxes. At the end of the day, I would suggest we don't wait for anyone to feel bad about us to give us philanthropy. If they do great, but if they don't we should take care of our society's kids.

One of the greatest gifts to the world is Capitalism.

Lots of us thrown stones at Jeff Bezos, but as I said in these pages before, he is responsible for directly hiring millions of people. And the halo effects support and feed tens of millions more.

His work (not her work) as a capitalist allows his ex-wife to donate her money to the causes of her choosing. Which is great!!

The good thing about capitalism, is that whether good intention or not, its the best way to distribute things to people hands down.
> This man was a senior developer

Dude, let's not be generous. Could he write code? Yes. But this is a guy who wrote everything in Node, but absolutely _refused_ to use any existing libraries except for ones he personally wrote. He didn't "trust" them.

He wasn't even hired on as a dev, he was hired to be the "Cloud guy", essentially a sysadmin for AWS, and basically spooked the CEO into giving him the keys to the castle.

You are correct. I also do like to write, though I don’t think I’ve reduced my reading by any means.

Writing itself is an art form. Its important to have tldr; sections, to consider your audience and not to just braindump and call it a day.

At the end of the day though most orgs live or die by how aligned are their members, and how tenacious they are. Both of which require information to flow through it. And I think its way easier to tone things down/ignore/filter if you have too much than to try to infer “what other people actually mean”.
