I don't want to see Chrome (and Chromium) die, I merely want to see other browser engines flourish. Heck, even Trident, if we could turn back time and have Explorer become a good web citizen.

My problem with Chrome dominance is that it's both a dominance of a single company (since Chrome is by far the dominant "fork" of Chromium, and owned by an advertising corporation), and a dominance of a single browser engine. The latter is IMO a really big threat, as it leads to browser engine monoculture. Monoculture leads to a single point of failure, and in this case, a loss of knowledge about how to build a browser engine that's "the websites that are actually out there"-compliant. Much more relies on the web now, so it's paramount that we have a useful alternative browser engine implementation.
I think everyone knows that. Personally, I don't spend any time taking countless photographs of myself and my buddies eating and traveling. That's not me, and I think it's a little sad that people can't have any trust in strangers to the extent that they must look up a curated PR profile of them and believe that. Yes, the world has changed. That doesn't mean that everyone is better off that way just because 80+% will go in whatever direction the wind blows. Even if the inevtability of being strange for not being active on Instagram is something people should accept, it shouldn't be the deal breaker that it often seems to be.

> As for the rest, it sounds like speculative nonsense.

That's not particularly respectful.

Maybe you could name some of them?
No. Promiscuous mode, like normal mode, is still connected to a specific SSID. It just instructs the network adapter to not drop IP packets not addressed to it.

Monitor mode is a level higher, and allows for capturing all wireless frames regardless of what SSID they are for, and regardless of whether they contain IP packets or are just signaling like beacon and connection requests.
Germany would have problems if not for French nuclear, and a great many, rather expensive, gas power plants. For exactly how much, just look at what has happened to the UK as they left the EU wide powersharing agreements.

Its also worth nothing that the rising power prices have largely prevented germany from moving away from using gas to for stoves and heating, which is a huge part of their total CO2, and pollution output.
The files are not removed or blocked, they just can't be shared publicly:

> When it’s restricted, you may see a flag next to the filename, you won’t be able to share it, and your file will no longer be publicly accessible

So it's probably a combination of things, including piracy. They're not forbidding people from storing or retrieving the files, just not allowing anyone to publicly host whatever they want on Google's servers. Seems reasonable.

Hi Nathanie. Do you have an email address or a method of contact?
It is and the Mayor is going to accelerate re-funding the police after decades of being underfunded.

The DA has prosecuted a fraction of the crimes compared to prior years as well.

Part of the problem is right now that SFPD is stretched too thin and many stores just can't make 20 calls a day for provable shoplifting. I have several friends who have worked in "Loss Prevention" over the last few years who say things are entirely out of control. Most of them have been assaulted by shoplifters, several other news reports cover stabbings to LP staff, those go generally unreported and unprosecuted due to the DA's neglect.

China is very good at pretending that everything is OK.
I guess it is always just sort of gross to view such blatant discrimination head-on regardless of where its happening. I suppose in the U.S. we just sort of brush this under the rug by allowing a hiring board to say it behind closed doors rather than making it public and in print.
> cannot be attributed to a party allegiance in the US. There are as many if not more liberal vaccine refusers as there are conservative ones

Why must there be a single attributable factor? It seems likely that there are multiple. Party allegiance certainly appears to be one of these from numerous polls and analyses [1]. Poverty and insurance status is likely another [2].

That's a good question, I'd need to ask a neurologist friend of mine.

IIRC there are some areas that are localized almost in the sense of a circuit.

Hearing is an example, which needs to process sensory information much faster (and more direct) than ordinary pathways would, in order to be able to construct spatial representation from latency differences.
If you have to stipulate in a legal statute that something is not discrimination, then it's highly probable that that sentence in that statute is the only thing that makes it not discrimination.

Someone ignoring that sentence, but otherwise applying sound reasoning, will come to the conclusion that it's discrimination.

For instance, if the criminal code said that "a person commits an offense if they thumb their nose at a passing police cruiser", then that would be the one and only sentence which makes that a crime. It could not be deduced from anywhere else.
Hi. I have a question. Do you have an email address or a method of contact?
It's surprising to lump asexual people with bisexual, lesbian, etc. It's like lumping people that hate cars with members of Mercedes and Porsche clubs into a "community".
Students speaking to each other or texting each other in class would be reprimanded. This really is no different from before except that they can more easily get away with it by using another device to communicate. The students are fully aware that their school device is monitored during class.

I can’t tell what your point is but nothing here seems to contradict anything I said. It’s just some facts about diseases.

I didn’t say every one was going to survive omicron. I said the spread was unlikely to be materially higher than its predecessor and likely have a lower negative impact.

A disease that spreads twice as fast is unlikely to infect twice as many people (over the long term). A disease that causes fewer adverse effects, let’s say half as often, needs to, by definition, infect twice as many people over the long run in order to cause the same amount of harm.

As a dumb mental model, if omicron is 30% less dangerous, then omicron needs to infect 42% more people to be as harmful to society. That is very difficult to achieve, especially given our collective immunity achieved so far. I would say there is little chance of this occurring.

How is Codecademy pronounced correctly, "code academy" or "code cademy"?
Awesome! Hopefully the distros will keep up.

I saw in some other comments you mentioned some performance lift coming from thread level parallelism in Go. I wonder -- can you get oversubscription issues if the user is doing their own parallelism (I assume some folks will implement 'parallelism' by throwing a bunch of independent processes at a bunch of independent records).

I know in openMP (for example) this would be something where the user is expected to keep track of it, but maybe the Go runtime handles this stuff gracefully?
My point is that some of these people are subject to the law, and could get an honest to god actual legal request to do something, not just explain their procedures, just as easily. People should know whether they have responsibilities under the law or not.

Chances of that happening is minuscule and if left uncheck, global warming will kill more than that.

Or they figure out better ways to use it that don’t involve killing people.

If Omicron turns out to have better health outcomes than Delta, even with the increased transmissibility, will we see countries welcoming Omicron-infected travelers so that it might spread and out-compete Delta?

Omicron is coming either way.

So, do you own your own tweets?

Yes. You own your content. It's a manifestation of your mind and is protected by copyright laws. A tweet is a contract between you and Twitter governed by their terms of service. Either side can terminate that contract by deleting the tweet.

This is lazy, legally incorrect, and one of those things that everyone in SV "knows" but is simply not true. It's embarrassing and I encourage anyone who wants to converse with people outside the bubble to learn the actual law.

EULAs do not circumvent US law. The US is a liberal society and you cannot enter into a contract in violation of civil rights. For example, one cannot sell themselves into slavery, whether or not a contract is given. The same people who argue Twitter should have the right to censor speech arbitrarily would not let ISPs ban speech. They would not let other private companies neglect to serve a person based upon race or gender contra the 1964 CRA either.

A more accurate assessment of Twitter's relationship with you is that Section 230 lets them have it both ways: they are indemnified for any bad content you post because that's yours, but they are also not responsible when they restrict your content either. That will be modified one way or another in the coming years, because Twitter/Facebook/etc. are the public square.

That's not what is happening here at all. It's a specific term regarding sexuality from a specific culture.
Is this clunky? Yes. Is there a better way of doing it? Maybe. Is it an explicitly biased policy? Yes.

However, correcting a biased system requires that there is a period with enforced change bias to correct the existing bias. This is because there are many ways previous explicitly biased policies entrench that bias even if the current environment is no longer explicitly biased.

Even if we were to assume that everyone is suddenly 0% biased on anything, a lack of explicit corrective actions will necessarily be long and dragged out continuing to harm the classes that are no longer explicitly discriminated against.

So given we know that hiring biases do still exist, and we know that many groups are underrepresented due to historical biases we end up stuck trying to fix a complex problem with very clunky binary tools.

As a very simple example: imagine you have a job where the starting rate for one group is $2 and for the other group it’s $1. Everything else is fair people get raises at the same rate (eg 10% or something). Then one day the law says “no, that’s bullshit”, and now everyone’s starting rate is $2. At this point all the people who were already employed are still earning half as much as their colleagues, despite the policies now being completely “fair”. If you just leave things as they are, eventually things will end up equal across both groups, but you have a potentially multiple generation latency. You could tried to correct the incomes, but that looks like discrimination: “we’re doubling the income of everyone in group B, group A is explicitly excluded”. The thing is in this case, even with this biased 2x income, the disadvantaged group is still worse off, due to the years of unfair compensation. If you try to correct for that you end up with another super biased behaviour.

What we’re seeing is an attempt to correct historical biases, and any such correction is necessarily biased, because otherwise even a perfectly unbiased continues to harm historical victims.
> Federal government has limited purview of its citizens, but can more easily regulate the people in the military and interactions with them.

Congress passes these protections, the military just lobbies for them internally because they cause problems with the operations of the military. Some things I saw a lot:

- A Private, PFC, or Lance Corporal who lives in the barracks (therefore has the most straight-forward pay with little extra incentives) [1] gets approved for a car loan on a used car at 20%+ APR or credit cards which revolve into 20%+ APR with caps well above their means. When they can't pay they will attempt to contact the chain of command and pressure the military into intervening. Eventually they'll settle, the car or items get returned, the Marine gets busted down, and then they go on to do the same thing all over again with the same car.

- Lending services know that military are fixed income and that they are also low income, and will therefore shop predatory rates to them as a means of "refinancing". Really, it's debt consolidation because military members also have a high rate of divorce and debt.

- Banks will attempt to repossess homes while military members are on deployment and cannot access internet or financial services. Also happens to reservists who are without their primary income and are deployed. (ServiceMembers Civil Relief Act) [2]

Military just face some very unique situations, but a lot of it derives from the fact that we pay enlisted personnel (the greatest in number) dirt for their trade.

It's fly-by-wire. Uncontrollable in a power loss scenario.
Is this still going somewhere? Their Kickstarter for the second model was a huge fail. The service is cloud based and not self hosted so you really have to trust them at their word on privacy which is not much different than say Apple (sans the vendor lock in)

And the service doesn't seem to have improved much since I last tried it (though to be honest neither have Siri and Alexa, not sure about Google). All voice assistants are still really stupid and scripted. Even a simple question like "what did you just say?" or "turn off the bedroom lights and turn the air purifier on". I have to say "Hey Siri every time to deliver it in bite sized chunks". Or sometimes it thinks I said on instead of off and doesn't take into account that the light was already on so why would I have asked for that??

I really hoped we'd be a lot further along, it's almost 10 years since these came out. AI was supposed to give these things a big boost but I don't see it. A commodore 64 could run the logic part of a Siri conversation (not the recognition of course)

Agreed, there's a lot of unthinking Sinophobia.

I wish we had visa-less travel so more people could visit and see that it's not a scary place. It's a different system for sure, and you can be jailed for saying certain things, but that's true for almost everywhere except America. Germany jails holocaust deniers.
Nobody in America is going to know about or expect to be bound to the laws of 100 different jurisdictions because in theory someone could visit from that country.

If we had a serious pandemic where dudes were dropping like flys on the street and they had horse drawn carrages stacked with bodies, I don't think many people would have an issue dealing with it. The problem with covid is our response to it was way out of line with the actual illness. People kinda have a problem being asked to make huge sacrifies for something they don't perceive to be a major problem.
It should be noted that Qubes is thus far the only actually secure X environment.

The hardware X server runs in a secure X VM, which has exclusive access to input devices, the GPU, and the physical frame buffer memory. (Ordinary X gives all programs access to all traffic from all input devices, and the whole frame buffer.)

Each client VM runs an X server that really only manages window contents. These windows are mmapped to memory the secure X VM exposes from its address space, It copies pixels from the shared regions to the real frame buffer. UI events that happen in each such window are forwarded to the client VM that owns it.

Regular desktop "panel" widgets and other UI stuff is managed by the secure X VM.

USB devices can be attached, via the secure X UI, to a chosen client VM, or taken back. Likewise, input devices such as microphones. The VM only gets PulseAudio streams forwarded from a microphone, and has no access to the sound chip.

The only awkward thing is that client VMs have no access to any GPU acceleration. This is not a problem for normal use -- browsers all can use CPU-only graphics modes, and they are fast enough for the usual things, including youtube videos, albeit with increased power consumption.

Good explanation, I havent experienced all of Canada but did notice that indigenous representation efforts in BC at least spillover into the rest

Is it really fair to calculate an annual interest rate when the loan term in question 14 days (literally one payday)?

I'm not defending payday loans but it seems like an intentionally skewed comparison when you're looking at installment loans of terms in the years or something revolving like a credit card.
High-speed trains are awesome. We absolutely should be building more of them for the people who'd like to use them.

But if someone wants to go directly from point A to B in a "gimmick jet", why should we try to prevent that?

I'll reiterate with your example. Building high-speed trains, and developing "gimmick jets" are not mutually exclusive endeavors. It's clear that you are not personally interested in a "gimmick jet", but there are people who would be. Why exactly should we be stopping those people?
> there would be a fairly standard treatment protocol that could be applied by people without 4-8 years of medical training

No, there wouldn't, because, among other things, comorbidities that must be managed, especially in the population most COVID hospitalizations come from.

> Combat soldiers learn basic emergency medical techniques, even to the point of running IVs

Which allows them to serve as, basically, better-than-nothing EMTs in the absence of anyone else, which is useful on the battlefield to keep people alive to get to proper medical care; they don't replace doctors and nurses, though.
While yes, Germany profits from the European grid to offset some of its over or under production, it doesn't really affect Germany's or France's nuclear energy production.

As you can see even at time when wind provides more than half of Germany's total energy production, the red nuclear bar remains nearly unchanged.

https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c...

If you check France's energy production at the same time nuclear energy production isn't affected.

It does affect oil, gas and coal, but hardly affects nuclear.

Teaching history is for the history teachers, not the art teacher who took a single critical race theory course in university, and now thinks Ibram X. Kendi, and Robin DiAngelo are great sources of historical truths.

An activist is a clearly biased source of information, they have already picked a side, and should not be trusted that they're teaching accurate history, and not just manipulating kids for their own ends.

You're under the assumption that these "teachers" could never do wrong, but how would you feel if some Christians were having secret clubs teaching your kids about Christ?

Wouldn't you want to make sure the teachers running some of sort of bible club were from some sane branch of Christianity and actually respected your children personal opinions and not Westboro baptists, shaming and them in to thinking they have to attend the club otherwise they're bigots...I mean sinners going to hell.

Parents should be worried about these clubs and how they're teaching kids, because there's a fundamental difference between liberal interpretations of rights, and non-racism, and the radical subjectivism of modern LGBTQIA+ groups, and CRT anti-racism.
