I think the Tor Network is similar to the clear web in that it can be used the way its users want it to be.

Mind you, if you look to buy drugs on Instagram or Facebook you’ll find many outlets.

Your experience is limited to the markets because that’s what you were after presumably.

We created the BBC Tor site to help audiences access BBC News where they can’t and also to provide more secure access if they want.

You probably don’t know how bad the internet in China or Iran is. Imagine you can’t access any news site other than the government’s own outlets, and forget about social media.

We expected our Tor site to serve more users in Iran but interestingly we found more users coming to BBC Chinese, BBC Mundo and BBC Portuguese.

We think we are getting more users from Hong Kong and Brazil who are doing it for the sake of privacy rather than circumvention (our clear web sites are still accessible in Hong Kong).

At times when the news flares up, we get more users for BBC Russian, presumably because news consumers there want to have access to an independent source of news.

BBC site on Tor:

Yup, it's tiny and simple. But the goals are wildly different.

The same Prometheus binary you can run on a Pi scales to millions of series and millions of samples per second.

The Prometheus TSDB itself is only one part of a the larger system. But, compared to librrd, it's vastly more functional.

Besides the scaling I mentioned

* It's ACID compliant.

* It has WAL for reliability.

* It has CPU and memory efficient compression.

* It has an efficient mmap-based data loader.

RRDtool, while efficient from a '90s perspective, is a toy by comparison. And yes, I've used rrdtool. Back in old-school days when Cacti was the new hot shit compared to MRTG.
id.me blog post: https://insights.id.me/featured-viewpoint/stopping-massive-f...

One interesting quote is:

> Does ID.me maintain a database of faces that map back to original photos and who has access to the database?

> ID.me retains the selfie that was used during the identity verification process. ID.me is the only entity with access to this database. The only time biometric information is shared with a government agency is when there is apparent fraud and identity theft tied to the account associated with the agency.

I wonder if id.me keeps a copy of the photo of the government ID.
>I imagine that ancient pronunciation can sometimes be induced from things like poetry

It can also be induced from loanwords into contemporary languages, and you can find ancient works on language which explained how things are to be properly pronounced, including the pitch accent.
Even then, the manager needs to reaching out to those specialists, coordinating and nurturing those relationships. No one says the eng manager needs to be all of those roles, but as the member of the team without a "real workload" they should absolutely be the liason to the rest of the org.
In "the checklist manifesto" the author suggests one of the main benefits of checklists for medical procedures is that nurses or other lower ranked people in the room who know the doctor is about to kill someone or cut off the wrong leg by mistake can communicate this information without the Doctor ruining their career for making them look stupid.
It's a shame when articles show non-idiomatic Rust code to people who might be not realise it :/

fn magic_num(&self) -> usize {
return if self.name.len() == 0 { 2 } else { 33 };
}

The `return` statement is only used for early-exit, so this would be written as:

fn magic_num(&self) -> usize {
if self.name.len() == 0 { 2 } else { 33 }
}
AFAIK there is only a press release: https://www.tuev-verband.de/pressemitteilungen/e-autos-haupt... and a powerpoint presentation https://www.tuev-verband.de/?tx_epxelo_file[id]=858582&cHash... .

"In addition to defects in the fog light and the low beam, the Model S at the HU mainly has problems with the wishbones. " so not a lot of information in there either.
Because the outsourcing industry is really advanced there... People just figured how to make money off foreigners.
Typical salary for someone who is minimally capable of independently working (not senior level) is $4500 a month net. Rent is $400 a month, utilities are invisibly tiny (which isn't a surprise for a country with around $300 median salary). Developers have full time servants, gardeners, drivers etc., all in the middle of Europe.

But, surely there is a terrible infrastructure and the country is in the slow-baking civil war and permanently on the brink of foreign invasion...
> Scientists in California gave 9 men aged 51 to 65 a growth hormone and two diabetes medications for a year. The drugs seemed to rejuvenate the men’s thymus glands and immune function. They also shaved 2.5 years off the men’s biological age

The study itself says:

During the first week of the trial, rhGH alone (0.015 mg/kg) was administered to obtain an initial insulin response, and during the second week, rhGH was combined with 50 mg DHEA to evaluate insulin suppression by DHEA alone. During the third week, the same doses of rhGH and DHEA were combined with 500 mg metformin. Beginning at the fourth week, all doses were individualized based on each volunteer's particular responses.[1]

So the meds in question are:

- recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) [2]

- dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) [3]

- metformin [4]

If you wanted to have this treatment for yourself, how could you proceed? I assume that it would be just about impossible to convince your family doctor to prescribe this drug regimen for you? If you were to do-it-yourself, what would be the best way? It seems that metformin is widely available but I don't know about the availability and cost of rhGH and DHEA.

Very entertaining to read a thread of managers telling themselves they shouldn't do any work, and then simultaneously describing not doing any work as "many times the return of you as an IC" (presumably counting themselves not interfering with the people doing the actual work as equivalent to doing the sum of that work).
Double the capacity, no exotic materials, same size as a regular battery pack and not much more weight.

This doesn't sound like vaporware. I wonder what barriers there might be to scaling this up to mass production.
Joni Mitchell says she will follow Neil Young by removing her music from Spotify
That’s fair. My ISP not only doesn’t provide IPv6 but actively blocks using 6to4/6in4. They claim they don’t but I can clearly see that they do. It’s bad.
All stores charge a markup.
I could be OK with it if it exported some crappy machine-generated SQL, which lots of other tools can do. But yes, when you use these tools you're at the mercy of the vendor and their willingness to play well with others.

From a purely selfish perspective Alteryx is a disaster for me because I often need to see inside business process and Alteryx obstructs this more than other tools. But users swear by it so I have to grudgingly admit it's a "good" tool.

that's an interesting perspective - one that I'll take to heart, for sure.
Has that ever happened in practice? I find it very hard to believe that a company normally so desperate for new business as to spam people with sales calls and lock people into contracts (to make sure they can't leave once the service ends up being sub-par) would suddenly start saying no to people's money and cutting them off based on a technicality.
It’s interesting to see this article standing on its own. I don’t think it makes a lot of sense this way. It’s from his newsletter and it kind of assumes a lot and is more of an impressionistic sketch for people that already share his worldview.

If you don’t already share that point of view and haven’t read his book this will seem superficial and lacking nuance.

With that said I highly recommend his book, Dignity, which is a much longer and fleshed out discussion of how our society treats people and places that don’t matter.

You can also bring a Tesla to an inspection before the HU
Well, here you go:

"Tesla ranks almost dead-last on Consumer Reports reliability list" - Nov 2021

https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/Tesla-ranks-almost-dead-...

HN discussion:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29273140

Another test from Belgium from a few weeks ago where Tesla came last:

https://www.test-aankoop.be/mobiliteit/auto-s/nieuws/enquete...

Translation of title and adjacent:

"Tesla is the least reliable car brand. Owners of a Tesla report problems with their car more often than drivers of other brands. Those looking to take advantage of salon conditions in the coming weeks had better grab our ranking of most reliable car brands."

So it's TÜV, Consumer Reports and Test Aankoop where Tesla scores poorly, and they are all very recent.

Edit: "Test Aankoop is an association that informs, defends and represents consumers in Belgium. We work in complete independence, financially, politically and ideologically." - translated
What problems do IPv6 cause for your small ISP?
Note that this is model S specific and a German issue. There is a very simple reason why this is happening which has to do with things that play a huge role in Germany but not anywhere else.

* unrestricted highway speeds

* a structural deficiency on the model S which causes the A-arms to break at high speeds

* no mandatory manufacturer service but mandatory car safety inspections

Without unrestricted highway speeds the a-arms are unlikely to break. With mandatory manufacturer service intervals broken A-arms would be spotted ahead of the car safety inspection (TUeV). Likely without that a-arm deficiency this wouldn't happen either. So I would not expect the model 3 to show the same statistics.

If this topic is of interest to you, google for "Model S Querlenker" on the German internet and you will find many affected folks. Yet that particular issue is not anywhere else as widespread because people just drive slower.
OpenAI GPT-3 Text Embeddings – a new state-of-the-art in dense text embeddings?
Tesla stock price is based on 'CEO Founder Bitcoin Hype Mania and Rockets'.

Companies with visible, bold, charismatic leaders tend to bring a disproportionate amount of attention and hype to a stock.

If that CEO can paint an 'Unlimited Future' because they are doing something new, in a big market, the stock takes on some odd characteristics.

People become 'believes' as much as investors, more so among small retail investors who can collectively drive the stock up.

Your point about 'Self Driving' is reasonable, but I don't think a 'few years advantage' is going to help the winners.

Why? Because 'Self Driving' will be phased in over decades. It's not going to 'turn on'.

There might be some shakeup, but it seems at least one German, Japanese and American auto maker will have the wherewithal to 'keep up' to norms.

Most importantly, in the long run, people are price sensitive and for cars they care about brand to the extent it's related to quality. Late stage buyers are of a different mindset than early stage aspirational Tesla owners.

As far as this 10% failure rate, it's hard to say - Tesla has good brand positioning, but a constant stream of these headlines won't bode well for them.

Outside of American, Nationalism is 'normal' but it's generally not of the flag-waiving kind, it's more basic ethnocentrism. Germans take their cars very seriously and I wonder if after a stage of Tesla fertilization, they return to their 'Superior German Technology'.
Rural air pollution may be as hazardous as urban, study finds
But you shouldn't publicly claim 12 hour work days if you watch TV during those hours, that's ridiculous. That gives a completely wrong impression and may push some who don't know better to actually try and work 12 hours.

I love that “hacking language learning” turns out to be “mostly do what babies do”: consume as much content as possible. Babies take it one step further by trying things without embarrassment or any attempt at “getting it right”, only focused on raw communication.

Not to denigrate the efforts of folks who study and practice “the act of language acquisition”, I’ve just been surprised and delighted to watch my now 2 year old daughter learn to speak, which has made me think about how different her experience of “learning a language” is from all of my poor attempts at learning foreign languages.
One of the issues with metformin is how many times it has gotten recall for cancer causing contamination. Buying on the internet, you are never going to get notified
Not refuting anything you said, but I personally have dropped letters while traveling on a weekend, just because, so like dropping a letter in Oregon on Saturday evenings, obviously with proper postage, and my return address as in different state 800 miles away. One reason is If the delivery address is in same direction, i.e. if I am travelling towards letter's destination halfway, I like to see it as quick delivery and help to Post, like I am covering half distance for them.
I would take inflation that can be managed over the alternative that could have happened had the government not intervened. However and if I understood things correctly, it appears that banks, financial entities and ultra rich individuals got money absolutely for free; no strings attached. The rest of the population got stimulus checks , asset prices appreciation followed by inflation which will eventually eat away any appreciation at best if not do more damage. I don’t think society will appreciate this deal in the long run. Desperate politicians and ideologues will exploit this imbalance.
In the UK, consumer product liability is with the vendor. They will usually recover the costs from the manufacturer, giving them an incentive to deal with reputable companies. As a consumer I don't have to care about the vendor's suppliers.

>Unlike sex, race is not firmly biologically based but rather is a “construct of human variability based on perceived differences in biology, physical appearance, and behavior” (IOM, 1999). According to Shields and colleagues (2005),

>>with the exception of the health disparities context, in which self-identified race remains a socially important metric, race should be avoided or used with caution and clarification, as its meaning encompasses both ancestry … and ethnicity …

>Both race and ethnicity can be potent predictors for disease risk; however, it is important to emphasize the distinction between correlation and causation and to explore interactions among factors, while rejecting a unidirectional model that moves from genotype to phenotype.

NAT is a very simple idea that works very well. In fact for my private network with 20 odd devices I'd prefer to keep it.
I don't want to go down a rabbit hole about Snowden- we are already far from the original topic.

Right.. maybe it's because it takes some experiance and consciousness to give such a response.
But the mis-aligned incentives are there for Brave just as much as they are for Google.

No they are not.

Brave exists as a privacy-centric alternative. If they start violating user privacy, it would remove all incentive to use their product. There would be no reason for Brave to exist. It would be marketplace suicide.

Google exists as a privacy destroying organization. They can't hide this fact and they have never really tried to. And they can't stop now because their reason to exist would likewise be gone.
Cargo doc is nowhere near as useful as something like go doc, where giving a symbol name immediately prints plain text documentation in the terminal. Cargo doc is just… inconvenient in comparison.
Tor Browser is great for checking sketch links or for making an anonymous complaint
Unless you have a gazillion servers at home, port forwarding through a router is fairly simple and has the additional benefit of a rudimentary firewall. So there isn't a clearly visible benefit for most people. Most people can't even tell whether they're behind carrier-grade NAT. It makes no tangible difference in their lives.

Techies like you and I can appreciate the technical arguments, but if we want to convince anybody else who can actually make decisions for large numbers of ordinary people, we're going to need better arguments.
So what are the odds that we will have a solar super flare?
> In trying to apply a computer to a task that humans do, we often discover that it doesn't work. One common problem is that humans are able to deal with fuzzy concepts but computers are not -- they need precise representations and it is hard to represent a fuzzy concept in a precise way. However, if we look closer at such tasks, we often discover that the weakness actually lies not in the computer but in ourselves -- we didn't understand what we were doing in the first place.

This was still published before the latest iteration to evade the insight that your question is ill-posed took hold: AI magic!

Why go through the trouble to ask yourself if your classification system makes sense if you can just draw up some random examples and train a classifier? And if the classifier happens to perform poorly, it's clearly the fault of the algorithm and not that your classifications are completely arbitrary.

Modern algorithms are even smart enough to find out what you're "really" looking for and will happily detect skin color as the most significant feature for racial classifications.
I work at a large healthcare equipment manufacturer - the group I worked with automated many business processes relating to equipment field sales, service, and maintenance. The end users were generally internal sales or field techs. Most of the apps are basic CRUD and maybe some video links. We're a typical large enterprise, so it takes a very long time to execute new software projects and often by the time they are done the business needs have shifted.

The users started out by using MS Power Platform and SharePoint to create simple apps and forms and get some feedback from the users. After a couple of iterations they would finalize the desired flow and my team would give them an enterprise integration point (sometimes Boomi, sometimes custom code) to read/update the real data. We are currently evaluating Mendix and Outsystems to see if that will further streamline the process.
So how do you go about getting a faulty Tesla repaired in Germany? Tesla only allows repairs by authorized technicians.
I arrange my work so that it doesn't require much sitting and thinking. Instead I come up with a way that I can write code to visualize what's going on, iteratively test solutions, or read to select from approaches on the Web. I guess you're right, when it comes to something I would have to invent from scratch I panic about having to think for myself.
I believe you were told that. But I believe that's pretty ahistorical. See, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_suffrage_in_the_United_S...

https://www.history.com/news/slavery-new-england-rhode-islan...

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-black-people-a...

And that's just the basic legal stuff, like not being property. When you look at actual attitudes, Northerners were quite racist. You could read, for example, Foner's "The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery". It covers quite well how even Lincoln was quite racist in a way typical of the time.

You might also read Loewen's "Sundown Towns" which shows these attitudes not just persisting, but leading to ethnic cleansing across the US during the Nadir (circa 1870-1920). That includes New England: https://thenewpress.com/books/sundown-towns

There were of course excellent abolitionists and activists from New England, and there were pockets of goodness. But you can't paint New England as a magic exception.
Former German, same here. Personally I've never heard of people bringing their cars to the dealership which then does the TÜV for them.

People do often bring new cars to a dealership for regular inspections, similar to many other countries, where these kinds of problems would be caught. Still, I wouldn't expect these basic problems to show up in a pretty much brand new car but I'm no expert so who knows if that's reasonable.
I can assure you, my answer to that question will equally not show how I am perceived racially by the people treating me. Maybe the people treating me should fill it out? Maybe they should also fill out if they perceive me as rather dumb or rather smart, because that might also impact my treatment.
