Trying to eliminate the concept of race for those that aren’t racist only further empowers the racists. You can’t jump the gun. In your personal life I think it’s good to end any acknowledgement of race, but you still need to keep the social dynamics in mind. Like an atheist in church, don’t go around yelling God’s not real. Sit down and think about how these people collectively keep this idea alive.
We're talking about Washington, a one-party state with extreme left politics. This is how it actually works:

Vaccinated person goes to the hospital for a cough and fever - "oh no dear, it can't be COVID because you're vaccinated, it must be the common flu" - not counted.

Unvaccinated person comes in for a wrist sprain, tests positive on the PCR - "OMG UNVAXXED HOSPITALIZATION" - probably counted twice, too.
It's a shallow comment that doesn't add anything of value.
I moved from LastPass when it turned on its subscribers. I tried Keepass..loved it's offline model but it was not a smooth experience. Then I tried Bitwarden.. found it useful and user-friendly and I ended up buying subscription for my entire family.
I do think the parent thinks that. But it's simply not true based on my research. COUNT(*) doesn't need any actual data from the rows, so I'm wondering if there's something else.

First result in Google confirms that at least for Postgres: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2016/10/12/count-performance/

Another one from stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2710621/count-vs-count1-... with a citation:

> Don't be fooled by those advising that when using * in COUNT, it fetches entire row from your table, saying that * is slow. The * on SELECT COUNT(*) and SELECT * has no bearing to each other, they are entirely different thing, they just share a common token, i.e. *.
So, how reliable is gRPC-web? Is it production ready? Can it be a good replacement for AJAX? I have been itching to use gRPC because, I just hate REST and everything JSON.
Is that really bullshit work? I seriously doubt you’d be able to completely solve the problem of lost luggage. You could cut it down, yet you can’t scale down the number of jobs dealing with it very easily (one per airport at least, and you can’t hire half a person if there’s only half a workload).

A similar thing could be said of bloated code.
Well, alternatively, the guy who streamlined his job got fired so someone else can do it cheaper. Accounting managers will not thank them for making their job easier with better tech, they will say oh that's easier than I thought it was, let me get someone else to do it for less. They have no incentives to accept better tech, in fact their incentive is to make it worse so they cant be easily replaced.
Most people have a yearly interaction with the flu vaccine, where it's made perfectly clear that you can still get the flu, but it will be mild and the efficacy is something like 60-80%. (At least this is what my pharmacist has told me every time I get the flu shot)

Yes, but on the subject of plausible state actors -- Israel is among them. They also have a very advanced cohort of computer scientists and a booming crypto industry. There were even early cryptominers produced there, iirc.

It would not surprise me in the least if their state was behind the SN pseudonym.

Also... SN could have used any news article from any publication discussing the bailouts -- they made a choice to use a page with a massive graphic of Israeli tanks rolling into territory, rather than, say, any page from a more financially focused paper like WSJ... This could be just noise or it could be there as some form of nationalism or affinity for the image and storey.
It is if you think it's as simple as 'processing a transaction'. Anyone can design a system that records a transaction. It's very hard to make one that can't be deleted and can't be reversed. Doing this unlocks some amazing things, in particular hard, inflation resistant money.

And if you don't think inflation resistance is important, consider how many poor people have been robbed by those who just print more money and give it to their friends. It's been happening for centuries. It has destroyed whole countries just just once or twice but many times. Coin clipping to fund wars is as old as coins. So is stealing people's money at the point of a sword.

On the outside it might not appear 'efficient' when you don't have to implement all the same features bitcoin has. But if you actually try to build a system with these features, there is no better way so far.
Copyright assignment is what you’re describing, and yes they are able to distinguish, because dedication is not the word for that and more generally people aren’t stupid. Copyright assignment typically has a number of formal requirements to succeed including being in writing and being signed by the assignor. Next time tell the joke about a signed copy :)
> Indeed, in the 620s the Persian shah Khusro II almost captured Constantinople and was on the verge of destroying the Roman Empire. What would have happened had he succeeded remains one of history’s great counterfactual questions.

Not really. There were a lot of people that "almost" captured Constantinople. Persians, Arabs, Bulgars, various other Steppe nomads.

Constantinople due to its geography was pretty close to as impregnable as could be given ancient technology (especially when they had naval superiority).

It was only the Crusaders of the 4th crusade in the 1200's and the Ottoman Turks in 1453 that successfully conquered Constantinople. The former had naval superiority thanks to the Venetians, and the latter had gunpowder.

In fact, because of the strength of its defenses, one of the main strategies of the the Byzantine Empire was the tie down the bulk of the enemy's armies before the wall of Constantinople, and then attack their rear, which is exactly what the Emperor Heraclius did to the Persians leading to their defeat.

In addition, the outcome of the war didn't matter so much, because it exhausted both Empires and made them ripe for being conquered by the Arab Muslim armies (the Byzantine Empire pretty much lost all their Middle Eastern provinces, and the Persian Empire was completely conquered).
Agreed, I used lastpass in 2016 and tried to switch to keepass. I'm more than technical enough to use keypass and sync a vault across all my devices, but I needed this to be as easy as possible. I know myself enough to understand if something doesn't feel as easy as humanly possible, I'm much less likely to use it. A decent chunk of people are not like this, which is why I believe there is this huge debate over "Keepass vs 1Password". But anyway, I switched to bitwarden and the UX was more than good enough for me. It "just works".

I even started self hosting it this year and it continues to "just work" - although I don't recommend it to most people since I now have to manage a server. I was already self hosting a lot of other things last year (wanted to move away from google/apple services) so the "cost" of self hosting Bitwarden was negligible.

Anyway I know I rambled a lot, but just wanted to chime in and throw in my opinion about bitwarden
Another take: Antiwork is a much needed uprising in america for low paid workers to finally stand together and stop dealing with an unfair system.

OK to be honest let me amend that, because you make a valid if not snarky point!

Oh, well. Okay, then. Sorry for lashing out at you a bit too much maybe, it's one of these days where I am on the edge.
I think that aligns well with recognizing that it's not a dichotomy of success and failure anyway, it's a vast spectrum of outcomes and possibilities where the majority are varying types of progress.
Oh for sure - and that's kind of what I meant in my original post - years of lack of focus, incentives and interest in specialized education and manufacturing processes.
Note that I said on your own domain.

iCloud email hiding generates addresses on iCloud domains, i.e. services will begin to flag them as a commonly-used disposable address provider and disallow them.

Also completely worthless to the vast majority of people who are not on Apple devices.

Also also, 1Password's integration with the email isn't managed by them. They talk to Fastmail, Fastmail spits out an address and tells it to 1Password, who then fills the form with it. I can ditch 1Password at any time, even delete my account, and lose nothing.

The whole thing has been out of touch as long as I've known about it (10y). I won the lottery one year but sold my tickets out of conscience.

It's possible for a developer to disable GA cookies and/or provide a different client ID to GA, which would make cross-site user tracking and identification of individuals more difficult.

Google would still always get the IP and user-agent though, so maybe that's not enough. Proxying calls to GA and stripping anything which could contribute to a fingerprint should logically make it "legal" everywhere, I would have thought?
"Hey folks, I'm going to implement this script, I'm concerned in doing so, you will just fire me and keep the script, I enjoy my job and working with you all, is there a way we can find additional tasks for me to do in the business" is a fine conversation to have with your manager, sure.. you don't have to, but in my humble opinion, then pretending you're not stealing from the company knowing what you know, is questionable at best.
I think you are on the money here. I hadn’t spotted this but they have a k8s plugin for example:

This solves the “restart pods when my secret is updated” issue which suggests to me that they are not just paying lip service with these integrations.
> The safest solution is to use an analytics provider that keeps data on your own infrastructure.

People don't want to run their own infrastructure anymore. Everything outside of their own business differentiator they want to outsource. Whether they "should" do it debatable and a long conversation with context like business value, cost effectiveness, velocity, and other non-technical things as part of the conversation.

This would be a great advertising moment for an EU based analytics provider. A SaaS.
Not much different from airplanes but eventually will be way more frequent. Asking about birds/clouds is missing the point since these are natural phenomena.

There's already a technical way to subtract it out via stacking, and it works very well. The concern is that with enough deployed satellites, the streaks may be come very difficult or impossible to eliminate, especially if what you're trying to photograph looks similar to a satellite.

Double vaccinated and hospitalized. Must mean the vaccine is working, right?
It's more as if you decided to call Austrians "Germans" too because you can't be bothered to make the distinction.
Just to say thank you for this closure ~15 years later. I was on team lighttpd back in the day (I think I liked the config syntax more? I honestly can't remember) but this bug caused a lot of grief and at the time, it appeared like no one knew the cause. Still, lighttpd/fcgi was still better than the epic custom Apache C++ module disaster in the previous iteration.

Do you think that art - not in the sense of "something artistic", but in the sense of "a piece of art" i.e. something that belongs in a museum - can be mass produced? I think most people would answer no, since mass production loses some of what people value in art - which is that it's unique (or limited) and purposefully made.
I'm exactly the opposite. I love VR and I now find non-VR games boring and old like trying the play NES or C64 games (which I used to love).

Half Life Alyx is arguably the best Half Life experience to date. No Man's Sky is amazing in VR but zero interest outside of VR. In VR I'm actually in a spaceship or actually on another planet. Outside VR I'm just looking at someone else's travel photos. Seeing vista's in VR is like the difference between looking at a picture of the Grand Canyon and actually being at the Grand Canyon. The first is a pretty picture. The second you actually feel it's 20 miles the other side and a mile deep. Seeing a smoking volcano in Farpoint, again outside vR is just a picture, inside VR the mountain actually feels 1-2 miles high with 7-10 mile plum of smoke. So now non-VR games that don't get then sense of presence fill like something is missing.

Further, well made VR games (which is definitely not all) are often way more intuitive than non. The 19 buttons on a dualshock or a mouse and 101 buttons of a keyboard, a good VR game you should reach out and touch stuff in the game.

There are also experiences like Jet Island or Eye of the Temple you just can't have outside VR.

VR Rhythm games actually force me to dance, vr non-VR rhythm games which rarely do that.

As for AR, I used to be more excited, but I suspect reality will be tracking, constant ads, and distractions. And further, it's kind of hard to turn reality into any setting, something VR can do easily. In AR, in my living room, maybe I could have an AR pet that runs around my furniture. In VR I can escape my living room for another planet, an underwater adventure, a dragon's lair, a space station, a secret lab, a zombie infested factory, etc...

The biggest problem with VR is just lack of great content. Looking forward to Horizon Forbidden West as the next true AAA VR title.
The problem here is boring and practical: how do you make `bind` (or, in Linux land) `mount --bind` secure and still allow you to authenticate as a separate user, elevate permissions to change kernel config, and so on?

The authentication mechanisms on most Linuxes are based around suid binaries that read configuration files in order to decide on what to do, so if you can bind in a namespace, you can fool the authentication mechanisms.

In plan 9, this is solved with the kernel capability device. It's not particularly exciting, it's just one of the things that need to happen when you remove the concept of a global 'root user' from the system.
The title of this post is just the website url - there's no indication it's actually an advertisement. The whole thing is designed to trick people, and I'd say most people don't like being tricked by marketers
The physical games are barely VR games imo. Everything is in front of you. You don't physically move where you're standing too much. Beat Saber is great fun but it can be done pretty much the same without VR, and is done, at arcades.
I don't hate outsider art. Morally, I like that someone can aspire to make art despite being untrained, and that a good concept can be valuable despite a poor execution. In practice, though, I don't usually find it appealing.

I love some abstract art, but hate others. I like Kandinsky and Picasso, but dislike the scribblers and color-field painters who cross the line into "my kid could have done that". One of my favorite artists is Xul Solar, but I like him for his surrealism rather than his cubism. I tend to like realism, surrealism, and symbolism.

I like tonalism a lot. It combines a realistic image (landscape) with an emotion (distance, calm), which is great. I understand tonalism is exploring the emotions in simple colors and shapes, in the same way a fully-abstract artist like Rothko or Twombly would, but it's also exploring landscapes and realism. It also looks like it took effort and care instead of random scribbles.

I guess I have a lot of interest in precise brush strokes, shading, etc. If I see a painting or drawing which looks sloppily-made, I get the urge to go in there and fix it.

I know art doesn't have to all be super complex and precise, and sometimes there is meditative beauty in simplicity. But there's usually more beauty in complexity. I always hated places like the Rothko Chapel, which just feel to me like zero effort was put in... I guess that counts as "muted abstract", sorry. I can kind of see the appeal, but it just feels like "not art" to me.

Even Rothko tries to be aesthetic, though. The worst is stuff like post-conceptualism and performance art. I'm sure there's somebody out there farting on a canvas and trying to charge $500k for it.

I was reading about Charlie Chaplin the other day and found that it wasn't unusual at all for silent movies to be written without a script because... You don't really need one.

"Writing" has a few different aspects. One of them is developing the scenario, one of them is choosing specific words. There was a big fight about who was responsible for the creativity in the 1960s Marvel comics between Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Illustrators worked closely with Lee to develop the story, but Lee had a special knack at the word-by-word level.

Kirby wrote this (excellent) book himself

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAC_(Buddy_Blank)

Although he worked brilliantly as a "one man army" his writing was not so smooth as Lee's.

I worked at a Big Important Place, and two or three times a day I'd shut down an online transaction system, back up a file, move a new file into place, then bring the online transaction system back up. Took maybe two minutes.

On any given day, I'd do literally five minutes of work, maybe eight.

I didn't need to check any logs at the end of the day. That wasn't my job.

Because it was a contracting gig I think it was more or less lateral. If it was less, not by much.
Via Google, it seems this is a multi-generational argument. I learned with phonics and my cousin learned whole language - I had better facility with new words (think ML/AI, edge conditions) but I was the better reader to start with. Given that one needs both vocabulary and phonetics to be able to read and speak, we might just be arguing over the order how things are taught. Perhaps phonics could be taught with the simple rules how words are constructed/combined after a base vocabulary is in place?

The cooking classes are really good, especially the Thomas Keller ones. Some of the ones from writers / creative types are interesting just for the insight into their personalities in a format different from their usual presentation - for example Steve Martin basically talking about being Steve Martin. That said, the vast majority of what's on Masterclass is just fluff. In fact I'd say that as time has gone on, it feels like the subject matter is getting more and more nebulous "Famous person teaches creativity!" Also, at least on my Roku the app has gotten much harder to actually find content and visualize the full scope of what's available.

It ain't glamorous, but I really like Wondrium (formerly The Great Courses). Some of them are clearly quite dated (look like they were filmed 20+ years ago) and the professors don't always have great presentation skills, but the actual content is generally strong.

There's relatively little archaeological evidence of ancient humans generally. The conditions favouring preservation are fairly strict.

Given that:

1. Human populations tend to travel along and settle near coastlines and rivers, or in low valleys with rich soils whether supporting agriculture or nonagricultural hunter-gatherer societies.

2. Sea levels during the Quaternary Glaciations periods of maximum glacial extent were as much as 100m (330ft) lower than today. Many settlements, communities, and artefacts would be under water now, and many likely degraded.

3. Glaciers themselves would destroy many other terrestrial remains in regions subject to glaciation. Glaciers in particular scour valleys.

The Quatenary Glaciations are multiple periods of cooling and warming extending back over 2.86 million years ... or roughly the entire time since genus homo split from its common ancestors with chimpanzees. Anatomically modern humans are about 200,000 years old. Much of our evolutionary and anthropological history has been subjected to the same stresses and transformations of repeated periods of glaciation and warming.

The places that traces would likely remain tend to be lower latitudes, nearer the equator, away from coasts, and geologically reasonably stable --- sedimentation helps preserve remains, violent tectonic activity not so much. This tends to favour Africa and south-central Asia.
