Threats of violence occur because in the last ten years, many reservations have suffered a silent invasion by Mexican drug cartels.

This has occurred in reservations all through the US, along Northern and Southern borders, creating large areas of lawlessness, at horrific human cost. It's not anti-government types so much as Mexican cartels and their types.

If they talk to any outsiders, it can mean death and torture.

Tribal police are strong in some places, but they're laughably insufficient in most cases, and there's an intersection of tribal pride, corruption, distrust of feds, and being overwhelmed that have given cartels a large number of virtually untouchable strongholds.

There are places law enforcement cannot and will not go inside the borders of the US under the control of drug cartel strongmen. Human trafficking, murder, disappearances, drug trade, murder for hire, money laundering, and so on are being hidden under the veil of tribal sovereignty.

The number of girls and young women that go missing is an atrocity, but the ones that go unreported are worse. These people are owed more.

I'm not sure what the solution is that preserves native sovereignty and roots out the cartels, but the US is headed for a dramatic escalation of violence inside the borders. I am as against the war on drugs as anyone, and support blanket legalization as a necessary tool in neutering cartels and their influence. The trouble now is that cartels with militarized presence and sophisticated logistics will need US military intervention within our borders, and on tribal lands, and that's a politically untenable proposition.

So it festers. People disappear. Outsiders see a superficial veneer of anti-government sentiment but the problems are much deeper and more destructive for native cultures. The longer it goes on, the higher the eventual cost will be.

It's shocking that this isn't better known, but maybe Americans don't want introspection of truly scary things.
Does it matter? Not sure I follow, can you elaborate?
Are the ports in pairs at each location? Then it sounds like they did a Very Bad Thing and ran one cable per pair of ports; 100Mbps uses two pairs, so why use two cables when one cable has four pairs, right? :(
I've seen that a lot in much older installations, but I'd expect better from 2015 construction.

I'm busy retrofitting Ethernet in my house by pulling cat6 through the walls and pulling out the old cat3 phone cabling. It's much harder work doing two cables (not least because none of the phone cables were in conduit, so it just starts off harder already) for each pair of ports, but it's very much worth the effort.
I am an accountant. Automation is for sure coming for a lot of my jobs. What I have seen is that automation guts out the middling jobs. So, you still need data entry clerks, and you still need "strategy" type roles. But the middle ground are the ones that go, or rather, you don't recruit for those roles. The machines get them.

Opensubtitles has a VIP program at $15 a year.

It's quite easy to find the person who runs the site and, according to their CV, this is basically their job. That'd make Opensubtitles a for-profit piracy site, i guess.

Note: Article is from June 2020.

Nice article. The Clue is a more powerful version of the BBC MicroBit in the same form factor, that runs CircuitPython and has a lot of sensors (SHT, acceleromters, gyro, etc.), Bluetooth wireless, and a tiny TFT display (1.3" 240x240). It's on the expensive side at $40 but you get a lot of stuff in there. Unfortunately, like so many other boards of this type, it lacks a realtime clock (the Sensortag had it). That makes it hard to use for environmental logging which would otherwise be an obvious application. It does have Stemma QT ports (I2C with a standardized tiny JST-PH connector, lots of plug-in peripherals available) and I think Adafruit sells an RTC board in that format, but it's more stuff to deal with.

Power consumption is not stated. The Sensortag had a much weaker CPU, but it was able to run for something like a year on a CR2032 coin cell. It had some annoying drawbacks and was never popular, but I keep waiting for someone to make a newer modernized version.

The Clue has been around for a while but I suspect it hasn't been that popular, because of its high cost and because the Micro:bit itself never really caught on. The Raspberry Pi Pico is getting more traction, I think. Maybe Adafruit or someone can do an RP2040-based version of the Clue someday.

The article is useful in informing about the Clue's capabilities, which aren't breathtaking but are a useful combo that's not that easy to find in a convenient package. I had been aware of its existence but didn't realize it had quite so many sensors, so this gives it a little more of my attention.
This story really shows the hype of nginx. It wasn't the backbone of half the internet until 2021.

Don't get me wrong, I am an nginx user now for the past decade at least but when it first came out I was very skeptical. People were saying apache was too bloated but you could already run apache with as few modules as possible so that was a false argument.

Then there was the c10k challenge of course. Basically, a lot of hype for nginx but it came out on top in the end so I guess it doesn't matter.
Still no sources. Just talk and repeating your own interpretation as authoritative.

> which are appeals to emotion that are without substance

No, they are repeated appeals for source to an extraordinary claim which obviously would be more commonplace if it was true since large political camps would have a lot to gain from it. But the lack thereof says a lot, that's why I keep requesting a reputable source to back up your claim that goes deeper than a superficial glance at a social spending figure.

> How many examples would I need to dig up of academic authorities concurring on what the statistics clearly show, before you concede I am right?

You can start with providing a single one?

As much as I dislike linking to this article it's relevant to this because it shows how not even a right-wing pseudo-intellectual media-outfit that certainly can't be dismissed as having a "union-led left-wing bias" agrees with your claim:

https://quillette.com/2021/04/07/what-happened-to-social-dem...

"Starting in the 1970s, such things as foreign competition, mass immigration from developing countries, automation, and the growing financialization of economic power undermined this progress. In the United States, data from the Census Bureau show that the share of national income going to the middle 60 percent of households has fallen to a record low since the 1970s. Wealth gains in recent decades have gone overwhelmingly to the top one percent of households, and especially to the top 0.5 percent. Social mobility has declined in over two-thirds of European Union countries, including Sweden. Across the 36 wealthier countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the richest citizens have taken an ever-greater share of national GDP while the middle class has shrunk. Much of the global middle class is heavily in debt—mainly because of high housing costs—and “looks increasingly like a boat in rocky waters,” suggests the OECD."

When will you concede that you're are practicing dogmatism because of your ideological bias?
The official position from Israel is that it must control all sorts of things because the huge threat that Hamas and others pose to its national security. Their official position is also that they only target Gaza in proportional retaliation, and even then only against combatants.

What we see instead is that Hammas has less and less ability to harm Israel, but Israel is still systematically killing Palestinian civilians - an almost 20:1 ratio is not a sign of a democratic state defending itself from terrorism, by any reasonable measure.
Yes; if you read the introduction to the version of the "Lions Book" which was republished in the 1990s with the 6th Edition UNIX source code, you can see that the only reason it happened was that the executives in charge of the company who owned the UNIX copyrights/trademarks at the time (SCO before they went evil) were enthusiastic about the project and pushed it through the legal department, and that similarly Dennis Ritchie had acted as the internal champion within AT&T to get the OK from their lawyers.

I don't use visualisation tools but I sometimes need to write in plain English the code's intention.

When my brain is in a feedback loop from the complexity, writing simple descriptions can bring calm and help me grasp the required logic. It's usually a last resort.

I'm making a web game currently, as a side project for work. The complexity has snowballed because of all the timers, sequences and rapidly changing conditions. Honestly, visualization tools would get in the way and just add more complexity. Something else to maintain and update, no thanks!

It's a personal thing, but something about boxes joined to other boxes with lines, is very much not how I see code or programming logic at all. I leave that to managers who use those tricks to show other managers how the tech stack is organised.
Except ipfs content disappears if no one is pinning it. And you can find IPs of hosts which are pinning it. Yes there is FileCoin but there are minimum and maximum file size and contract duration limits. So someone has to periodically check pins, contracts and keep purchasing new FileCoin contracts to keep it online.
What could be a correct counter argument to this?
I wanted to know what time it was for things like how long till my talk starts and how I was doing for timing. :)
Opensubtitles is definitely for-profit. They sell lots of ad space, including ads injected into the subs themselves.
For anyone out of the loop, Sean Parker is the founder of Napster, a peer-to-peer file sharing / music distribution platform. I don't fully understand the details, but I hear Napster was pretty well-hated by these big corpo music industry companies at the time.
> the crime rate is low

> given strong deterrence

This is a theory that doesn't fit the facts. The US has some of the highest prison sentences of any first world country. Where I live, there are some of the shortest and gentlest, and yet, crime is very low. There is no correlation between harsh 'deterrence' and low crime.
There is some misconception about the optimal strategy in the article.
You can only win in poker if you recognize how your opponent deviates from the optimal strategy and then play a strategy to exploit him. You have to play an exploitable strategy yourself to exploit someone else.

Think about playing rock paper scissors agains an opponent who always chooses rock. If you still play the optimal strategy (choosing randomly) you gain nothing...

> I think art should have to pass a test

Don't fall into this trap. Art does not need any objective, universal tests or categorizations. It is by its nature subjective and impossible to precisely define or measure. Yes, it is this subjectivity that modern art abuses, stretches far beyond the point of breaking, saying "if you can't precisely define it, then anything can be art!", so it's tempting to try and find a test that would exclude modern art, and validate the art we hold dear.

But this is a misguided effort. Like being told by film critics that the Minions movie is just as good or better than the Godfather, and then trying to find some objective, mathematical test to prove them wrong. That such a test doesn't exist doesn't make the two films equal, or their claim any less absurd.
> ones that want to work or ones that want to collect the UBI?

It’s likely that a country with a UBI will have better paying low level jobs even adjusting for tax action than a country without. That’s going to attract people who want to work. A tiny country implementing UBI may be swamped by people seeking UBI, but I doubt the global pool of people willing to move just to be very poor in some country and are willing to stay that way is all that large.

Put another way, many countries have a functioning social safety net. But immigrants tend to be seeking a better life which is generally why they became immigrants in the first place. It’s a massive filter on people willing to step up to new challenges which is why immigrant populations tend to be more economically mobile than native populations.
No it isn't. Among other things he claims that the energy grid needs energy taken off from it at times (yielding pockets of negative energy prices), and Miners could stand ready to do that. He writes more stuff, certainly more than "it's not that bad".

Blizzard used to make awesome games that were fun to play. They came up with some of the most enduring game franchises, and their games are still classics. Now, not so much. Actually, not at all. It's all just repetitive shite based on the same old tired universes.

That's not much a problem, usually a characterization is for use by others, you don't necessarily have to agree. Germans don't consider themselves living in "Germany" either. Or, names like "Balkans" are not necessarily preferable by those there, but that's life.

We are, right now, pumping CO2 into surface seawater, in massively industrial quantities, acidifying it. For every creature at 3000 ft depth that could in theory be harmed by excess carbonic acid, thousands suffer near the surface, today, and it is worse every day. (This is why putting sulfates in the stratosphere is such a bad idea: we need to get the carbon out of the air, not just reduce temperatures.)

It's about numbers. The carbonic acid produced by excess atmospheric CO2 dissolving into the water is concentrated in the few feet right at the top of the water column. If we took the top 50 ft of the the ocean and distributed it between, say, 3000 and 4000 ft deep, the excess acidity per unit volume there would be 1/20th what we have at the surface. Furthermore, the number of animals there dependent on forming shells is many fewer than 1/20 the number near the surface.

Keep at it long enough, without actually reducing the atmospheric excess, and you end up with the whole ocean too acidic, not just the top. But very soon, on a geologic timescale, we will perforce radically reduce the atmospheric CO2 overburden, or civilization will collapse and do that for us.

If you asked residents below 3000 ft if the extra dissolved oxygen coming down is worth the extra acidity, I am certain they would not say "no". (Full disclosure, they wouldn't say anything, but hey.)

> I personally think it's a missed opportunity is all

I don't agree with all your criticisms but Google utterly botched the development of gRPC, it could have been much better.

I had conversations with some of the developers about this in it's early days and they seemed totally unconcerned with actually making it usable by people outside of the very specific environments they had in mind.
Love Bitwarden, I personally onboarded dozen … but they must heavily invest in UI/UX and fix their apps (+ extensions) It’s not easy and intuitive for non-techies.
I phrased this intentionally vaguely, because the details are more complicated, but also don't matter.

They didn't care, they just laid some sort of cable because that's all they had to.
The abstract says the process produces gallium oxide. We would need to recycle that into gallium, which is probably energy intensive.
The hard thing with VRChat is finding "your" people and particularly people that aren't screaming/younger teens. But it is funny, I still feel anxious talking to a stranger in VR. It's wild though... I mostly spend my time alone (moved to a random state) and I can just dive in somewhere and talk to random people. I do feel old in general though on VRChat ha.

I suffered with motion sickness too it gets better over time.

I will say I'm not a generally all-around likeable cool guy either so you do have to vibe/give something (be interesting). Ultimately as far as making friends or something... that's hard. I'll get invited to discord servers and then it dies off in a few days.

This whole thing is a misconception about poker.
Poker is never about calculating odds in your head, but bluffing convincingly and reading the opponents tells.
Computers have no tells, and I doubt if any ML can learn to recognize tells of people, since they are very subtle.

The statistics part anyone with basic math skills can figure in their head - that doesnt guarantee any win.
> If it's really so crazy then how come the openbsd and wireguard people - presumably better hackers than you - are just out there doing it?

Probably precisely because they're better? I can see why people who are struggling with malloc and off-by-ones (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29990985) would think it's crazy.
> However, by default on most platforms, nslookup is specifically configured to use /etc/hosts (or the equivalent) or other local lookup facilities (like NIS) before using DNS.

I can find no reference to this, nor does nslookup do that on my system. Maybe on Windows, its “nslookup” (which is not the real Unix nslookup) command does this?
> As a software engineer can you imagine supporting every version of your software you ever released? Sounds like a nighmare.

Perhaps we (developers) need to get better at this. We care so much about pushing features and being agile and all, but when it comes to supporting old releases: "umm, no. It's a nightmare".

>Question: One thing I keep reading is how inefficient it is to start a new process for each incoming connection. Could someone explain to me why that's such a bottleneck? I imagine it being an issue back when CGI was used everywhere, people moving away from CGI, and forgetting about it. But hasn't there been improvements in the meantime? Computers from today can run circles around those from a few decades back. Has everything improved except the speed / efficiency of starting a new process?

It's not as bad as you think it is; just change the webserver to pre-fork. From this link[1], and the nice summary table in this link[2] - I note the following:

1. pre-forked servers perform very consistently (the variation before being overwhelmed) and appears at a glance to only be less consistent than epoll.

2. For up to 2000 concurrent requests, the pre-forked server performed either within a negligible margin against the best performer, or was the best performer itself.

3. The threaded solution had the best graceful degradation; if a script was monitoring the ratio of successfull responses, it would know well beforehand that an imminent failure was coming.

4. The epoll solution is objectively the best, providing both graceful degradation as well as managing to keep up with 15k concurrent requests without complete failure.

With all of the above said, it seems that using CGI with a pre-forked server is the second best option you can choose.

I suppose that you then only have to factor in the execution of the CGI program (don't use Java, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc - very slow startup times).

One thing that just occurred to me: Maybe the headset was not correctly positioned in front of your eyes or the interpupillary distance was not set up correctly. If these are not perfect (but good enough) you can still get depth perception and immersion but the fatigue will increase a lot.

Also, the headset must basically be “glued to your face”, so it does not sway when moving the head. A high-performance PC is also very important, every FPS drop will induce nausea.

I can play HL Alyx for hours on end but still get dizzy when I become dehydrated or hungry. I only have first-hand experience with an HTC Vive (1st gen) though, which uses room-scale laser tracking. I also only ever played room-scale.
I mean, it may not have been publicly solved, but there are definitely bots out there in the wild that are beating human fields on online poker sites.

But also I think Pokersnowie is a bot made with more traditional ML methods (i.e. training on hand histories rather than solving an entire game tree with CFR), which basically fits the description.

I think mixing of socially constructed races and genetic ethnicities is a recipe for disaster. The only thing the latter is good for IMO is to highlight how the former is a social construct.

With that in mind, tying cultural heritage to "where did my close ancestors come from" seems like a more sensible approach than genetic percentages, since that actually connects to a social context.

Having said that, cherry picking one out of thirty-two great-great-great-grandparents over the thirty-one others sounds pretty absurd. But I'm not from North America so I probably miss some social context to understand the logic behind that.
