> there's really no excuse for what China is doing to Uyghurs atm.

First make sure everyone agrees upon what happened to Uyghurs first.

China is closed to foreign examination in the sense that they do not want to show all the details. But BBC and western media decide that that's a legitimate excuse to allow manipulative reporting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS8EceIa1MQ&t=101s

You are not going to get people to be honest, if you try to force that with lies.
Manufacturing opinion is only one part of what they do:

The authorities used a phrase common among China’s internet police that refers to tracking down the actual person behind a social media account: “touching the ground.”
With growing frequency, the country’s internet police have hunted down and threatened internet users who voice their opinions. At first, its agents focused on local social media platforms. In 2018, they began a new campaign to detain users of Twitter inside China — account owners who had found ways around the government’s blocks — and force them to delete their accounts.

Now, the campaign has extended to Chinese citizens who live outside of China. The document spells out how the Shanghai police want to discover the identities of people behind certain accounts and to trace their users’ connections to the mainland. Its officers can then threaten family members in China or detain the account holders when they return to the country in order to compel online critics to delete posts or even entire accounts.

The supplier should publish designated content on overseas forums. They should increase the number of views of the post and ensure that the post appears at the top of the forum. The service should be provided at least 10 times per month.

Well an apology is usually the first step in admitting wrong-doing and changing a formal process like IRB reviews.
I'm so grateful for your interest in the upcoming chapters!!. I would love to take a look at your issue related to the array compilation to wasm. Anyways I encourage you to try to directly write it on .wat and compare the results for researching. I will definitely love to see more about this.
I think the opposition is by those which long for the simpler, lawless period of the internet - a time where Google seemed to always be on the side of the user, even overlooking the naughty things the users would get up to.
This change for those folk could feel as some kind of betrayal, like Google is complying to "the man", instead of shielding them from the realities.

Of course this point of view is silly - Google have done very well to make users the product. A win:win scenario for those which couldn't afford the pay-for equivalents, but their ceaseless ability to kill useful services proved that they were never benevolent, nor a charity.

The internet has grown up, and so has the ability to scan masses of data for liabilities - Google's change here is not controversial or unexpected, and realistically if people have a problem with the many problems with US copyright laws they need to pick up their pens, change who they vote for and vote with their wallet.

As for the implementation I think it's pretty fair - they aren't stopping the user from their 'backups', they're just preventing their hardware and bandwidth being used as a piracy BBS.
Not a Postgres expert, but a MS SQL one: performance of the storage in well configured servers, after the warm up, is the least concern for perf tuning. In query tuning physical reads are a flag for bad configuration, logical reads are the first and foremost indicator and a 20% increase in storage performance brings less than 1% in total server performance. This is because if your query is well written and covered with indexes, reads are performed in memory and large writes are very rare.

Nonetheless, the article is interesting as a way to understand how Postgres and ZFS go together.
You're mistaken. There's no disease on this planet that infects 100% of people, even when constantly exposed. Our immune systems are quite amazing.
Yes but a car and a smartphone provide so much more day to day value than the items being discussed so that's not really a good comparison. Tulips, while pretty and fragrant, won't help get work done, transport items and people to where they need to go or provide a valuable communication channel in an emergency. An, NFT, while potentially entertaining, is a lot more like a Tulip and has absolutely no similarity to a car or a smart phone in this context.
Grammar is/ought to be descriptive, not prescriptive. This is how people use the word 'myself' and has been for years. Ergo it is correct.
The easiest way to yield that kind of return is aborting on pre-committed spending. In fact, that's the way the poor generate this kind of income. If they have $100 for food this month and a sudden expense needs $50, then that means they just go hungry until their budget hits $50 for food this month.

What you do is you starve a day or two and sell your food bank food. Everyone is capable of generating income while depleting from stores.
Yes, precisely. The alternative is to have a much larger installation running idle 'just in case', this thing can react in the time it takes to spin up the larger installation if the load surge persists. They are super useful, the effect is the same as if you hook up a large flywheel to the grid.
Bob should certainly get a refund, prorated with reasonable costs for the actual services. In case service costs are spread over time and many users (i.e. you sell subscriptions to a service that costs $TONS_OF_MONEY to set up but almost nothing to maintain) some reasonable part can be charged - e.g. a monthly subscription cost - but charging beyond that, or maintaining subscription indefinitely, certainly would not be reasonable. Bob being an asshole and doing bad things is not relevant here - you can't legally rob assholes. You can refuse to do business with them, but that's it, otherwise the assholes have the same rights as everybody else.

Like fucking over the neighbouring countries by using them as batteries or using Russian gas?
I agree with the other comments in here: this article takes several complex, long-running debates (modularity vs connectionism, predictive vs feedforward processing, dualism/monism) and reduces them to simplistic flamebait answers that come down definitively on one side. It's really the worst kind of popular science writing, because it's overconfident and dismissive of the opposing view rather then separating the debate out into appropriate parts that can be tackled with evidence-based research.
In this case it means you misunderstand the model [1] which doesn't require conspiracy or malicious intent. The book they published on it is just a mass of evidence that this is how it works, check it out if that's what you want.

Yes, but couldn't it also be catastrophic if 1) the virus mutates to be even less deadly and infectious or 2) Omicron has long-term, currently unseen consequences?

I mean, not saying your strategy wouldn't be the better strategy in the end, just think it's hard to know the risk equation at this moment.

edit: not sure why someone downvoted this, I'd love to hear your thoughts if you did

Initially they went the way of the reed relay, then the 4066 happened and after that VLSI. I remember the difference walking around in the large (building size) exchanges in the 80's and 90's where a whole floor of gear would be replaced by something the size of a couple of refrigerators.

It appears LendUp was given plenty of notice of these issues, which look pretty correctable, yet somehow they didn't manage to do that?

Why? Surely simple things like "Your advertising misrepresents the way your service works" can be fixed by adding a few more weasel words to the claims?
I have worked in academia as a minority. To do so is to face constant exposure to discrimination on almost every front.

Honestly, I believe the entire concept of higher education needs a radical change and that projects like Khan Academy will lead the way.

Within the context of academia, though, I don't have any particular problem with small changes applied at a national level to try and address the systemic discrimination that the majority of people in the system are blind to.
Just want to say thank you for you and the teams work! It’s been really exciting to see the progress over the last couple years. What are the plans for 2022?
Very good article,

the linked code about vim is incredible tho (and not the good kind of it), I have actually spent a good part of my evening trying to understand how they end up with that implementation (I do have the same kind of spaghetti code and wonder the same about my code) :

https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/9cd063e3195a4c250c8016fa3409...
That line-breaking link is really great, I enjoyed it a lot! However it barely scratches the surface: there's no good line-breaking without hyphenation. And then even once you have a great H & J algorithm (Hyphenation and Justification), you have the visual problem of "rivers" (be it text or print): a "river" behind when on one line you have the space between two words nearly matching another space between two words on the next line, then third line, etc.

I don't know if modern typesetting software like InDesign do solve this automatically or not. The web certainly don't (although with CSS and the "shy" Unicode char you at least get some control on the 'H' part of "H & J"). Back in my typesetting days QuarkXPress had nothing to help with rivers: you had to detect them visually and then "fudge" the paragraph a bit (by forcing a line-break or an hyphenation).

I always wondered: certainly if you start with a good H & J algorithm, it must be possible to try a few candidates and determine, programatically, which one has the least obvious rivers? Fascinating stuff IMHO.

P.S: I also wonder if it's because algorithms for layout out paragraphs are so bad on the web that justification is typically frowned upon on the Web? (it certainly rules king in printed books)
that's just an example. You can have the keypair in a file or anywhere as long as you can load your address with the solana api. the client side is all js. For users who don't want to spend sol to build and deploy the rust on-chain program, they can just npm install and use the trusted id of my already deployed on-chain program.
1.5k nursing home workers out of a total of about 600k. That's 0.25%. Across the whole population, we've had 810k deaths out of 330M, which is also 0.25%. So we still have the same number of nursing home workers per capita. Except that, considered per nursing home resident, it's an increase, because the rate of nursing home residents dying has been much higher than the general population.
> Live like before

The people I know who have been doing this have all contracted covid at this point, unless they are a recluse who doesn't go outside.
> The things that were about flattening the curve were about avoiding acute health system overload and increased mortality that would result from that

So we agree it is about healthcare capacity. You know the best way to avoid healthcare collapse? Build more of it!

You know the unethical, immoral way of avoiding healthcare collapse? Force hundreds of millions of people into this purgatory we are living in right now while doing absolutely fuck-all to build capacity. Then blame them all for "not taking this seriously" when their brilliant plan of doing fuck-all fails.

Seriously. Do you not see how much bullshit it is to just expect the entire world, billions of people to put their lives on hold indefinitely for exactly one specific illness when the solution could be to simply build capacity to deal with covid surges? These governments did fuck all to solve the capacity problem. They dont respect any of us at all!! They pissed our lives away so they didn't have to do anything.

Do you not value your time on this earth at all? 'Cause if you do, I'm sorry to tell you but the government just hoodwinked you into thinking it was your job to sacrifice your life so they didn't have to do anything at all.

Life is short dude. Expecting everybody to do this because "original models" by some bullshit "expert" said so... bleech...

One off expenses don't happen 12 times a year. If you haven't been able to save $100 a month for five months, you just won't be able to save five times as much, let's be realistic.

Fail safes do fail. Often due to severe user error.
If you have $500 per month for one off expenses, you should have been able to build some sort of emergency fund.
Hardware for mining cryptocurrency is self-financing in a relatively short period of time when the electricity is "free" since you're using it for heat anyway.

Heat pumps require a significant capital investment which would have to be recovered on only their efficiency improvement, since they don't otherwise generate revenue.

The math is different for new construction. There heat pumps make a lot more sense because the capital cost is relative to some other heating system you don't already have. Then the higher efficiency will generally cover the relative capital cost even if it wouldn't cover the total capital cost. This might still be less profitable than mining cryptocurrency (depending on a variety of factors) but better than any other traditional heating system.
Commerce is a vulgar endeavor.

Whatever nobility or higher morality finds within it, it's just an exception that slipped through the cracks.

Idealism towards the external world will always be met with defeat (you simply do not have the power to fight more than one battle, with one person).

The only thing left is to serve as a role model, standing tall and never wavering, for your values and ideals---so that those around you may follow in your footsteps, if they so wish.

Perhaps you could start by refusing to play the KPI game? What is anyone really going to do, besides through vacuous diatribes about being a "team player," and such nonsense. The only power these corporate constructs have is that which is surrendered to it.
I agree & appreciate your response.

I have 0 time for this, but I also can't easily let go ;-)

I think MS went open plan starting in '07 with the "The Commons" campus. Some parts like Bungie were open plan much earlier. (The Bungie team demanded it, they felt it improved collaboration.)

But before that, regular MS engineers were often "temporarily" doubled up or tripled up in their offices, so going open plan wasn't as much of a difference as it might have been.

In the old days people's computers and monitors were physically much larger, you needed multiple computers to multi-task, and you needed lots of paper documentation. One reason we're open-plan now is that people can be very productive with a chair, laptop, and 24" monitor.
No the nft is not the image. That is precisely the point. If the NFT was the image how come I can download, distribute, and even sell (wether legal or not does not matter) the image?

Review: 'Bitcoin Widow,' by Jennifer Robertson (QuadrigaCX)
You're right, I actually had the benefit of chatting with somebody who organized the lab test network around covid-19 and asked if they (Belgian government) considered ramping up hospital capacity and training non-qualified people the basics of taking care of covid-19 infected people... turns out they never considered it.

Personally, after 2 months of being angry with the ridiculous response of the government I just accepted that you can't fight with mass stupid and moved on to areas of my life that are not affected by covid.

But I still get surprised from time to time you know, you'd expect politicians to accept that everybody had the chance to get vaccinated and lift all the restrictions so that darwinism can do its work, but it seems they want to impose vaccine mandates instead... trying to protect people who don't want to be protected, what's the grand idea behind that?

There's no real end in sight to be honest, it's better to ignore it as much as possible and focus on areas you do control
Slow clap... Popularism strikes again
This paper "Electric VTOL Configurations Comparison" [ https://www.mdpi.com/2226-4310/6/3/26/pdf ] presents a pretty decent energetic analysis of a few of these eVTOL projects (including Lilium) and is very generous to them.

Lilium is vaporware. Ask anyone who has worked in the space. Or just look at it. Or their promotional materials.

Ducted fans huh... meh. I don't think they have an interest in people understand how fly-y/hover-y things actually work.

I do applaud the investors for their vigorous desire to increase the velocity of money throughout society, it is important econometrically. Somehow I doubt they'll be happy to see their currency shredded by 36 rc brushless motors struggling to thrust an anemic wing into the sky though (before its glorious ~250km/h cruise to destination [of course])--and then ~15s landing hover.

What exciting times to fly in.
It doesn’t matter. This isn’t a case where an individual would be suing. This is the government regulation coming down on someone after being flagged by “a victim”.

You can tell because for profit(if staterun) companies are building them across the world. France is drawing significant profits from existing nuclear, and constructing new. Nuclear has been ridiculously profitable for most countries which built them, with the sole exception of countries which started building them, then forbid nuclear. Many countries in Asia are building them because its cheaper than coal power. Most countries impose nuclear specific taxes, in addition to long term disposal fees, which exceed the price of production by several times. Sheer state profit. Despite this, the main reason nuclear does not get built in Europe is regulation, the the risk of losing the investment due to changing laws on nuclear. Which has happened several times.

Byproducts, aside from nuclear weapons, which most countries do not have, are a negligible part. Sweden for instance built ample nuclear early, but never built the kind of reactor which is used in nuclear weapon production. Sweden also didnt subsidize it, but rather has been taxing it at an additional 300-500% in addition to long term disposal fees(so little of which actually went to long term disposal they introduced a second free named exactly the same 40 years latter). Despite also discarding the cooling water heat into the ocean completely needlessly, all it took for these plants to be profitable was not forcing them to shut down when public opinion turned. It took a while sure, but plants have been profitable for 30 years now, and could have continued to be so if they hadn't by law been prohibited from upgrading and researching.

Nuclear regulation in most places goes as follows: is nuclear profitable? if yes, increase safety until it stops being so. If technology improves so that the same safety can be achieved using less cost, further improve safety. If this happens while building a new plant, force them to start over. For what that looks like, look to the 3 complete restarts due to previously approved safety measures suddenly being retracted and increased during the construction of the Finnish plant.

Its this idiotic idea that they must guarantee zero percent risk which is the main culprit. Flying kills more people, and more people need power than flight, yet we require far more of nuclear. Many countries built dozens of perfectly safe plants during the 60ties for pennies on the dollar. If we could build those again, you know the ones where less than 0.25% had an serious accident over a 60 year history, and removed the massive taxes, we could have power prices at a fifth of what they are today.
