True. I am not sure exactly what hash is being used (though others seem to indicate md5)

I have heard from colleagues in the past that consumers of illegal pornography used to (or possibly still do) commonly apply a negative filter or hue shift to images to avoid hash matches and flesh tone detection. This helps when combined with other stuff if someone scans their disk or they get raided and have too much stuff for law enforcement to look through properly. They then set up their screen or display settings to counteract the filter when viewing it.

Thankfully I have no experience with illegal pornography and definitely don't want to gain any, so hopefully I will never be able to confirm that firsthand.
> That is false.

No, it's not. Notice how, in my example, the resultant list is updated in the function parameter, but not the initial var defined by defvar. Whereas if I made an array via (make-array), passed it into the function, and updated that by the way the language documentation tells you to (setf and one of the aref functions), you'd end up with both the function parameter and initial var both pointing to the updated value. These are two logically different behaviors! And that's exactly what my criticism stated: "When you pass a value to a function, is it by value or by reference? Who knows? Rules are non obvious, do not follow the principle of least surprise."

> Lists work this way because... It makes less sense to treat arrays that way.

Yes, that's exactly the point. The language is inconsistent and does not follow the principle of least surprise.

Apple Reportedly Wants Nothing to Do with the Metaverse
In my opinion, the movie wasn't trying to shit on the original at all. The Matrix has, since the beginning, been a really sentimental, romantic story that wears its heart on its sleeve and really directly states its themes. Meanwhile, the series ballooned into a big franchise that ran its course, its about to get put through the reboot-industrial complex, and its themes get adulterated and co-opted all of the time. The Matrix in pop culture is more associated with style and effects than the themes.

The new sequel did a really good job of adding nuance and deepening the themes already present in the trilogy. Specifically the way systems define our reality as a means of control. It did so while tying in really well with the first films world-building, expanding on more nuanced understanding of AI/programs that the sequels started to explore.

The film did take some time to reclaim its narrative, but I think it did so in a way that most fans can appreciate.
Probably true! Maybe it’s a good thing that I could see the controversy and try to reassure them. Would be even better if I could have prevented the panic cascade in the first place.

I had hoped they'd have learned the lesson of the sequels and this would be a good movie. However after 10 minutes it was clear this was going to be bad and I let all hopes of medium expectations fade. In that sense 'it was meh', and I am sorry I risked seeing it at the theater.

I think it did poorly because the movie was just plain bad, and the omicron variant is reaching a peek just as movies theaters were getting people to come back.

The feature was underused and I think it did not serve it’s purpose well. Having hangouts in gmail is useful, having official emails and casual chats together mixes well. But in order to add an calendar event you need to specify the time, event name, notes if you write any, add meeting links and then mention the person. This is not true for every event, but I think if you are going to send calendar invites these would be helpful. To display these the UI would become clunky and sending it from calendar is easier and you would visualise the timeline. I have never used this feature, but could see why it was a killer feature to you

Regulation is as challenging as adding features to complex software systems. Achieving the desired outcome without causing any undesired consequences is very hard.

In some ways, it's even harder than adapting complex software systems: At least software systems don't commonly consist of subsystems with independent, self-interest-seeking goal structures that lobby you during design for features they favor or exploit latent defects post-deployment.

> Pretty sure the airlines would love to not burn money holding a spot.

I'm absolutely certain they would. Monopolies are incredibly profitable, after all, and a repeatable strategy for killing off all newcomers is step zero.

I.e., that government rule was created to address a rational but pathological behavior in a market.

Lufthansa could always not fly those routes. But then the business would lose money to fines, possibly lose gates, and maybe go bankrupt.

So, yes, in the name of the business. And of course that business's behavior is completely predictable.

Anyways.

Pointing fingers at isms is a waste of time. Businesses operate in markets. Markets are human inventions. Especially in the case of something like an airline, a Market is a Market in the Stock Market sense not in the Bazaar sense.

The question is: how do we modify market rules without re-introducing the aforementioned pathology?

Which is a REALLY hard question! The simplest solution, from a market perspective, might be charging a fair price for carbon, such that this sort of behavior is no longer rational. Of course, that's a non-started politically, so... here we are.
Then it would be a crime in more or less any country.

Now the question is if it's hanging intentionally?(Software as-is) license only helps so much. Think the answer for this is not clear cut.

Without question a line was crossed.

I mean sure there are endless problems about how npm handles things, but it's more nounced.

Like e.g. you needing to go out of your way to lock dependencies instead of it being some form of defaultish behaviour is a problem.

People distributing CLI tools without having strict dependency locking is a even bigger problem/no-go.

And this showing how careless some people are when it comes to distributing software is probably the most interesting thing.
> That's ADHD (maybe modulo some external factors like scattered meetings)

That doesn't seem like ADHD to me. Getting to a super-productive flow state is notoriously difficult to do reliably for everyone, and getting stuck on a stupid typo you can't find even though you know it is somewhere in the 50 lines of code you're looking at is likewise a fairly common experience.

Folks with ADHD may actually be better at achieving a hyperfocused state of flow, but the flip side of that isn't hunting for a typo, it is falling down a rabbit hole of yak-shaving, procrastination (productive or otherwise), and other distractions.

Somewhere in between is the experience of trying to hold more and more context in your head at once, resulting in a feeling like your brain has been pummeled and leaking out your ears, staring at some code that has become entirely illegible. This can be the result of ADHD-driven yak-shaving, but more commonly is the result of needing to comprehend huge chunks of a badly architected system before you can make a change with any confidence.
The average american makes ~2m in a lifetime, 1b$ is 500x that. "Losing" 1b$ is ludicrous unless you are actively looking to lose it (or don't care about it, like musk & al).

You're not going to release anything people actually use in academia. Research is useful, but it's not product. Based on what he says at the end of that message, it seems like he wants to release a product; I take him at his word. To do that, he basically has to go into industry.
It's true that if you tell anyone out there that you live in Portland, their first response is "I'm so sorry," followed up with "it's turned into such a shithole". This is always said to imply that it's not as white as it used to be, and people will get more specific if you let them. But most of them only know this from watching TV. They never go to the city even though it's less than 45 minutes away.

So being close to Portland might explain part of their allergic reaction to hippies. But I'm not sure if it's the whole issue. Oregon isn't just a red state with one dark-blue enclave. It also has a history of extremist white nationalism going back well over a century since its foundation a whites-only state. Then, in the 1980s and onward it became a destination for white nationalist groups, along with Idaho and eastern Washington. Grant's Pass and Medford, in particular, are hotbeds of extremism.

Another little anecdote. When I was relatively new to town, I struck up a conversation with an intelligent, pretty woman sitting outside a bar one day. She grew up in Grant's Pass. We hit it off and chatted for almost two hours before I mentioned I was Jewish. She got a stricken look and said, "oh - that's the one kind of person my Dad would kill me if I ever brought home." I asked why and she said, "He loves Adolf Hitler". She went on to explain that her father kept all of Hitler's speeches around the house. She said she wasn't into "any of those politics". Well, so much for that one.

The author wasn't mentioned in the title at all: "colors attack." Names have to come from somewhere. The article is about some hypothetical future antagonist that puts a hack/bitcoin miner in their widely adopted package, or something. "Colors attack" is just the name of, effectively, the CVE.
The inner cynic in me can't help but notice that the media only started freaking out about democracy and civil war after Joe Manchin drove a stake through the heart of Biden's legislative agenda. It's almost like they are just trying to whip people up into a frenzy to distract from this. Fortunately people don't really seem to be falling for it, even the most liberal people I know are just kind of tuning it out. The media is digging its own grave in terms of credibility here.
The original intention was to have much less power consolidated at the Federal level, with each state essentially a nation, even more free than in the EU today. Sadly power consolidates until it implodes.

I have had the extension be pretty slow in the past, especially on weak devices. But I do like the syncing backend of OneNote (works pretty well), I just wish the whole 'notebooks' setup was a little looser - it's pretty restrictive.
I thought the same thing. I wonder if there could be a way to have you submit a posed picture (to verify that it was taken live) and then use facial recognition to verify your face is in the content. It would probably be hard to do all that on device. It would also be a lot of hurdles to place in front of users, the vast majority of whom are just legitimate victims.

But if they don’t do something like that, I could see submitting all the Pepe the Frog memes in an attempt to stop the proliferation of material that FB probably should have been stopping anyway.
From your post:

> Nevertheless, this experience took a pretty serious emotional toll on me. It's hard to feel like you're letting your students down.

I want you to know that especially among younger people such as myself, complaining (or "venting") is often used as a way of releasing stress after an exam. I don't think you should take it personally. Frankly, you sound like an incredible teacher for caring about your students' feedback about the exam, however misguided.

EDIT: I should add, the fact that your students felt comfortable complaining about your exam on your server, and not elsewhere, is a result of your inclusiveness (which is apparent in the actions detailed in your post).

You have it exactly right, but you left out two important factors. First, not everyone has equal access to financial markets. A retail consumer can't go to the Fed and take out a loan at the discount rate to finance the purchase of a house. They have to access that credit through a middleman -- a bank, and banks are a good-old-boy network. That complicates the system response tremendously because it brings lots of human interpersonal dynamics into the mix. The idea that the economy is a distributed system of rational actors is just wrong. And second, everything Milton Friedman says has to be viewed through the lens of his political agenda, which was radical libertarian. So whenever Friedman says anything you always have to ask yourself: is he saying this because it is actually correct and there is actually data to prove it, or is he saying it because this conclusion is necessary in order to bolster the case for abolishing government? Just like the economy, the dynamics of economists is much more complicated than intellectually honest scholars seeking truth.

Nonconcensual government has no place in modern society. Most people are born into countries and it makes sense to have a regular opt in vote to continue.

Most "civilized" people will starve or die horrible deaths if the current cold civil war goes hot. People who don't know how to grow crops, hunt, fish, or setup logistic pipelines. The side has military backing will end up killing a lot of people until one side gives up and by that time China and Russia will win. An armed conflict is a real loser for everyone. Lots of Americans on either side are armed and obstinate and it will get ugly fast. It might be time to visit a friendly foreign country until it all blows over, just don't expect much to come back to, wars are ugly things, and civil wars are often worse.

The only question is are we going to be flexible enough to let people go their own ways peacefully or try to hug a mountain lion until it hugs us back? The cart is being pulled in two directions and a peaceful legal separation is much better than the alternative.

No one is going to counseling and "live and let live" is dead. Irreconcilable differences between at least two factions exist.

> This is stupid and insulting for people who experienced a true war. Does she know what wartime is like? Because I do and Ican tell you this has nothing to do with what we have right now.

What's stupid is your insistence on trying to imply that a remark she made about the gravity of some acts is the same as her saying it's wartime.

And for what it's worth, yes she actually does know what wartime is.

I wasn't aware it was a requirement to be allowed to express one's concerns about the behavior of some people though and to relate it to despicable behaviors she saw first hand.

This holier-thanthou attitude is very well misplaced. It's also significant you choose to single her out on this and say nothing of Macron who made a war time speech. And Macron has way more influence than my mom.

Warner Bros does not get all of the $363 million at the box office, the theatres takes their cut. For domestic gross it's said to be roughly 50/50 during a box office run, with the distributor (in this case WB) getting the most during the first week, and then the theatres get the most, for Foreign gross it's much less, with China only giving 20% of the box office to foreign distributors.

Also the $200 million production budget does not include promotion/advertising.

So it's very unlikely that Tenet made a profit at the box office, however there's streaming deals, physical media etc which can earn a pretty penny, particularly if something becomes a cult classic. Blade Runner and Starship Troopers were box office failures having has made lots of money afterwards.

I know but this article is from 7 August 2020 so I got the impression, given the climate of the day, for this Matrix to be even more about it.

> Twitter is not bound by the 1st amendment.

Twitter is in fact bound by the first amendment when coerced by the government. We need to go back to all of two weeks ago to find an instance of a congressional candidate asking for their opponent, the sitting congresswoman, to be banned. Twitter did exactly this.

Interpretations for that ban are open to debate, but they're also open to debate in court. If found that Twitter tends to comply with government censorship for fear of retribution, they are liable.

Vaccines were more effective at preventing infection, but their effectiveness in that area has declined with newer variants. Lessening the length and severity of symptoms also plays some role in reducing transmission since coughing, sneezing, and runny noses are a great way to spew virus into the world around you.

Although I hope we will see vaccines that do a better job at preventing infection and transmission the benefits we're getting from them right now are enough that everyone who can should be vaccinated and boosted as needed to maintain those benefits.
Nothing wrong with taking away what you want from art, but uh.. you're exactly describing the 'blue pill' (the comforts of escapism), so there is some irony in that with regard to the Matrix in particular.
