Who is this?

> I saw recently a video of a guy trying to report about Uyghurs concentration camp

https://youtu.be/zZCq7wLgpEc
This? This guy is using this to seek political asylum in US. I watched his previous videos on Chinese website, this guy had been planning this for a while. The validity of the video is up to you to assess.

>All this spotlight on NK, China, Russia

If you look closely at all the spotlights, then you actually can find that most of them are minor issues. Even human rights violation are less diabolical: uygurs are put into rededication camp, while Afghanistan/Iraqian/Syrians were blow to pieces...

Bot of course, one might believe putting into rededication camp is worse than being blown into pieces.
This is a weird comment in my opinion. MO says regular colleges are good too. She doesn't say "just as good". Of course going to Harvard can (not necessarily does) provide certain advantages. She didn't deny that.
They're helping by being well wishers, in that they don't wish them any specific harm.

People's experiences of vaccines like MMR lead them to assume otherwise.

If you can prove it was harassment and not someone just saying something the other party didn’t like in a place both parties had a right to be.

If we’re both at a bar we have a right to be at, and you keep saying you think I’m a jerk and should get kicked out - is that harassment?

If you follow me there every time I go? Probably. If you don’t, probably not.

Proving one way or another can be difficult.

They do, but you can ignore it -- it's mostly lies and bluster. If they insist, ask them the last time they participated in (or even saw) an uprising due to government theft by civil asset forfeiture.
The reason many municipalities ban public drunkenness is because it intrudes upon other people's freedom. Very many people tend to behave badly while drunk!
This is a horrible take. A Chinese company stealing IP is very different from China stealing IP. Google was caught using IP from Sogou for its pinyin IME, but we don't say America stealing IP.
Interesting perspective, though I'd like some detail around the 'worry about getting shot' comment.

I'm in my 50s and have lived in the US all but 2 of my years, and have never been concerned about getting shot (in the US or abroad.) In what kind of situations have you found yourself that you've actively had this worry?
Too little too late. Even in 2012 it was obvious that ipv6 is the future; pretty much everything already supported it, maybe the hardest obstacle was overcome. Maybe 15 years earlier some alternative format could have gotten traction, but then dot-com boom was in full swing and nobody worried about future and ipv4 exhaustion.

The crazy thing about this to me is that Chinese spy hardware is actually the best defense against the US Gov spyware if you live in the US. There is less reason to care if China is spying on you, they are not going to suddenly arrest you. The US governments will though.

>ITS RIGHT THERE, Patreon is working just fine to keep a lot of creators paid with no ultra-inefficient distributed databases or cryptocurrency or whatnot. Just some profoundly unsexy credit card/PayPal/stripe transactions.

Why don't you take a look at https://www.patreon.com/policy/benefits? Millions of creators are disenfranchised by Patreon.

Also, you need a credit card / bank account to accept transactions from Patreon.

With crypto, you can create a wallet in seconds and immediately start accepting payment.
I'd probably support an asbestos ban for most construction (though I'm not a chemical or civil engineer, so I could have some blind spots here), and this probably comes across as pedantic, but I didn't see anything that indicated that there's broad public support for banning asbestos. Again, that's not saying that we shouldn't do it, just that I'm not sure it's a great example of the "will of the people" being overruled by a corporate interest.
That would be corporate suicide. Ignoring the inevitable lawsuit (from Apple) that would result, the loss of 25% of your revenue is a sure fire way to destroy a company. Then there'd be lawsuits from your investors over that, and it becomes a whole mess.

Not to be cynical, but it's also why big YouTubers have their own support person they can email with issues, while the little ones don't. It's not necessarily because YouTube (as a company) cares about them, but because the loss of ad revenue from those million+ subscriber channels would be a bad idea. People there definitely care about those YouTubers, but ultimately, YouTube as a company is dependent on those channels existing. Without them, watch times are lower, which leads to less advertising revenue, which leads to less motivated YouTubers, and so on.
That seems plausible; I don’t work there. I think that further supports the argument that “10x engineers” are not paid 10x.

Using an ETL framework vs. writing yet another ETL script
> This is true for Ethereum, but if you look at other top 10 chains like Cardano the fees are much smaller!

Isn't this a temporary state of affairs? As a chain gets more popular, the fees will necessarily go up. A Dapp that must continually migrate to newer chains to provide a similar value proposition is vulnerable to being shut down, is it not?

For technologies that have gatekeepers, popularity eventually drives down costs. The tradeoff for these gatekeeper-less platforms is that popularity must drive costs up for them to work.

While it is possible to imagine use cases whose value equals or exceeds the cost at any point in time, it is difficult to imagine a use-case that scales in value at a rate equal to or exceeding the rate at which the costs do. Blockchains must continually find new higher value use cases or collapse in value. This isn't exactly the greater fool dynamic, but instead a 'greater foolishness'.

> And proof-of-stake so it's not destroying the planet (I know Eth is going that way soon too).

Proof-of-stake substitutes assets under management for transaction costs, but there is still an adverse selection problem that only gets worse over time.

I don't think that the vanilla scheduler would get abandoned, instead, it would then acts as a fallback scheduler when customized userspace scheduler crashed or getting an update and so on.
Good point and as expected, I have no idea. The question is if I have to file the lawsuit in China. My knowledge of law goes towards zero so I can’t even „armchair lawyer“ it. However, the question would be if it was possible to file the lawsuit in a country where TikTok has a headquarter.
And this is something very useful. There's been a lot to show for the last decade of crypto development.

It's just not useful for you. Which I understand. Not everything is for everyone. But you seem incapable of understanding that it's useful for many who are not you.

Hi! Founder of Evervault here.

You're totally right in saying the number of developers who are actively integrating encryption is pretty small as of today. What we're trying to do is improve developer experience to a point where encrypting all sensitive data is a no-brainer. Still early days here, but we're expending a lot of energy to make this happen.

Re: third-party dependency — we think the same way at Evervault. We bring third-party vendors into the mix if we think they can build something better than we could do ourselves, which is why we partnered with AWS on their Nitro Enclaves[0] product. Our root of trust is the AWS Nitro System. For customers who still aren't comfortable with us managing their security posture, we also offer on-prem and in-VPC options.

This is an amazing effort. I'm looking forward to trying this out. I've been a fan of Wirth's writing for a while but there haven't been many practical (or at least well-described) ways to actually play around with Oberon.
The student has stated (on reddit) that he has identities and proof at ready for police and/or the university.
The ones that block freedom of the press, block and censore the internet, deploy military force against civilians, anex peaceful territories by force, push other democracies to overwrite their history, and commit genocide... So the Chinese government.
This is actually correct behavior; you can observe it in an original video like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRlgjMmdbV0.

"Unused" blocks is a probably misleading terms - "partially used" is more precise.

The simulation performs significantly more reads from "Unused" blocks, so I'm not sure, if it's exaggerated/incorrectly modeled, of if the virtual disk is an edge case (I suspect the former case).

Here's another video, with the same behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syir9mdRk9s.
I would qualify your comment about "prosperity and success" to say that the CCP (which is not the same as "China") cares about average prosperity and the further entrenchment of the ruling elite. Chinese people are too numerous, varied, and under-studied (since no honest political surveys are done there) for me to comment on their overall culture.
Depending on how they handle it, they could end up blacklisted by all Chinese students - which is likely a whole lot more than 200 students.

That it could also (in an extreme case) cause many employers with Chinese ties to avoid alumni with Perdue ties to avoid backlash from China is an outcome they can’t ignore either.

CCP is not known for rational, reasoned responses in situations like this.
This is a great suggestion, thank you! We'll get to work creating this.
Thank you!! My thoughts exactly but I've never been able to express it so well.
>I think it's really telling that porn has not embraced blockchains, crypto, or NFTs as a way to get paid

Uh, how do you think Pornhub accepts payments? Crypto has been the only option for paying for Pornhub Premium for several months now.

(I know this because I read a news article on it, just to be clear)

Edit

Sorry, ACH is also an option, my mistake. But Pornhub Premium's sign up page says they don't accept credit cards.
I was talking about yours. The thing i initially replied to.
You follow the letter of the law, not the spirit.

Or maybe you do not: examples given are not similar to what GP refers to.
I'll take not being able to drink on the street in some parts of the US if it means I can criticize the government without being harassed (or worse) by government officials.
I'm not a seasoned Haskell dev by any means, having only played around with it for parsing and then more recently for Advent of Code, but tooling has come a long way in the past 6 months. I was able to use ghcup to very easily install and manage versions of GHC, cabal, and HLS (Haskell Language Server), the LSP server that the community has thrown all of its energy into. All I had to do then was configure the LSP client for my editor and everything just worked. I had function signatures/docs on hover, go to definition, and symbol renaming working in about a half hour.
I hear you. Like I said, all attempts using decision trees have up to now failed miserably. The main problem is that for any given set of symptoms, the ~5 most likely diagnoses will be very obvious to most docs, but there will be a gigantically long distribution tail of less likely diagnoses not even worth testing for. This is especially problematic for rare diagnoses, and I'm sorry to say that your wife unfortunately fell into that category. Then come all the other UX issues, such as what search terms to use (different users will use different names), etc.

I know a decision tree seems attractive to someone coming from science. But in clinical practice, it's totally useless.

yes, the ft does that. i guess it’s against their t&c to just copy their articles and they want to make that clear. they do have share button that allows a number of clicks without needing a subscription.
Open source software license should include a clause saying that it is mandatory for commercial users to pay a certain amount of contribution annually, let's say 0.01% of gross revenue?

So if they find it too expensively they can simply turn away and build their own, which is good for whoever get the chance to do some lower level programming, and if they find it OK the open source authors/maintainers can get some good money. It's a win-win. Of course this might request open source authors/maintainers to form a more rigid organization (how to share the profit).
I suppose that means You become more liberal and unfortunately more communist as you become more impoverished. But to what end?

Your argument is to listen to the people who were in reach of the golden ring but failed to grasp it, over those who managed to succeed.

I choose to believe in capitalism with all it's opportunity and not the self identified victim proletariat who has an unrealistic view of authoritarian regimes and central government oppression, in search of some impossible fairness in an unfair world.
Do you really need a answer?
What is the rational reason, if any, for bringing up things like these?
The time to have this discussion would have been in like 1993 or so. Now, IPv6 is what we have, and the standards are what they are, flaws and all.

The only reason I can think of is psychological: People don’t want to learn new things, so they find reasons to dislike the new thing to be able to pretend they don’t need to learn it.

People who don't know shit about economics sure love to bust out their ignorant opinions.
Does NZ have an equivalent of the 2nd Amendment?

In the US, States can regulate, even those without strong ties to manufacturers. The fact that many haven’t makes me think the 2A is a bigger issue than profits.
Only if the project owns the copyright or otherwise has been granted such powers in their contribution agreement. Otherwise, no. They’d have to get approval from every autho/rewrite the code they don’t have a license for to provide a copy that isn’t GPL.
We will never know China's pandemic outcome because the data their govt releases is not trustworthy. Perhaps you meant only their economic outcome?

Interesting. I see it as another way to pull another ladder up so that the kid who didn't get to go to the private prep school to train to take a test isn't being discriminated against for his parents' financial position. There are literally entire private schools where I grew up whose average student performs better than the best public school student.
The context here is that applicants are overwhelmingly white and male. Most of the time it won't matter because you're the only category in the pool.
Does Chinese government pay the tuition for these students? That sounds like too good to be true.
Because minimum wage job is supposed to be temporary. You do it right after high school, for couple years, before you decide on what you want your "real" job to be. Or you do it part time to pay your expenses while attending college. No minimum wage work should be something you do your whole life.

Simply - if you are working only for a single customer within a certain time period/receiving the majority of your income from a single source, you are considered to be an undeclared employee and not really a freelancer (= business) - and that exposes both you and the company to big fines. It is not the only criteria for this but a pretty large one.

Both France and Germany have such laws but other countries do too.

The point is that many companies would otherwise stiffle workers by forcing them into becoming freelancers because then they don't have to provide legally prescribed healthcare benefits, paid vacation, contributions to pension, etc. that employees get.

And at the same time those workers don't have really the position to meaningfully negotiate their contracts to e.g. include extra pay for that missing vacation or healthcare/pension insurance. I.e. we are not talking about IT consultants but delivery drivers, cleaners, etc. - low paying jobs.

I.e. Uber's business model - and that's exactly why it was banned/had big problems in many EU countries (in addition to completely flouting the existing taxi service regulations).
If the rich kids are also getting SAT prep books AND tutoring on top, and everyone gets maxed out scores, seems like it's a waste of everyones's time and we're better off just skipping it.
It's designed to discourage people from exercising their GPL rights. If they push code every day and the only way to get the most updated code is to pay for a CD to be mailed to you, it becomes quite tiring to keep an up to date online copy.

They have a benchmark for expressiveness (as opposed to performance). Part of this inquiry has been to form a "standard library" of Dataframes operations.
And university/college is generally when they hit the wall of reality that it can’t and won’t happen any more.

Inflation has been well below goal levels in recent years. Their goal this year was to have it well above average to make up for the past and keep unemployment low.
Ah interesting. Like so w the algebraic stuff I meant like, well if you have a semigroup or a monoid homomorphism it translates nicely into a parallel distributed computation problem- hence the semigroup flag works nicely with the reduction ops

So I was wondering how I could exploit Awkward’s typing system to use/implement some goodies from Haskell a la https://wiki.haskell.org/Typeclassopedia

Like, for instance, what if I could make an array of heterogenous ufuncs, and apply that to a similarly shaped array (like an Applicative).. like if I wanted to implement eg graph re-writing by applying a rules ufunc array to an adjancency array, etc, or even , to get very meta, apply a rules function array to another rules function array

Or if I wanted to compute eg the fixed point of a series of those applications, etc.

Or maybe if I wanted to use Arrow types to abstractly represent computations within each cell, do some fancy stuff in each cell, perform some rudimentary ’compiler optimization’ by inspecting which cells would end up doing unnecessary work (in the context of whatever problem I am doing; eg suppose I only permitted 3 chained ufunc calls per cell or something weird like that), that would be really cool too

Or eg if for some unknown reason I wanted each cell to fire off 2 concurrent ufuncs within each cell, and I only was interested in the result that ‘won’ the data race for each cell, I could use eg an Alternative in the style of the Concurrently library.

Or if I wanted eg each cell to be like a MonadPlus; do some work in the cell but also provide builtin “recovery” capabilities per cell if the cell evaluated to empty/missing/None

Ah now another interesting possibility could be a matrix of lambda calculus statements..!

Musings and sketches.. :)

Very very cool work indeed!
I mean alright but even if you pay $1,200 every other year for a new phone... that was never enough to cover rent anyway.

Some people are probably blowing $1,200 a month on stuff they don't need... but it certainly isn't the source of widespread income inequality.
