My impression of these services are that they are simply available so people can feel they have "done something" about someone who seems suicidal by giving them the number, then wash their hands of the rest of it. Not that someone else's mental health puts any particular obligation on you, but that's the dynamic I see play out. I've called these services twice over the years when I was young and naive and had friends I was worried about, and their entire objective is to trick you into giving them details so they can sic the police on these people and ruin their lives with an involuntary hold in the psych ward. One of the calls was more of an advice call, as in I (then 16 years old) was trying to ask them what I should do, and when I refused to give them the person's address the person on the line straight up asked me "what do you want me to do?" I don't know! I was a scared 16 year old kid and you're supposed to be the one who knows that! What is the point of you answering the phone!
In my college (late 90s) no one cared if you put an interface into promiscuous mode and there was no encryption anywhere. I had so many aim and campus system accounts from packet sniffing I didn’t know where to start. Following aim conversations of people in my dorm was pretty funny though.
Fundamentally, orbital mechanics still relies on the same old action-at-a-distance that plagued Newton. You can look under the hood of any software that simulates orbits and see that this is the case. No time delay is assumed for gravitational interaction. Celestial bodies effect each other's orbits instantaneously (the Poynting-Robertson effect also makes this obvious).

IF you assume that photons have mass and interact gravitationally (there are good reasons for making this assumption), then you can explain the double slit experiment classically via gravitational interaction.
ARM 21.10. Greatly improved disk performance. (Not measured, just based on my dev experience with the RoR + MySQL app I am working on.). I did find file sharing via WebDAV and SMB to be lacking so ended up going with sshfs.
github took down our eng dept probably half a dozen times last year. I don't even see how they hit 3 nines last year. It was insane. Even before that we had to switch off Azure. That was a sad joke of a service. They must be running their entire ops out of a log cabin connected with the bare minimum of cabling and bandwidth necessary.

That's also the thing the serverless/API-all-the-things/cloud promoters don't get. This interconnected web of services is incredibly fragile. It's to the point that every day is a new failure. One day github is down. Next day your CI process breaks because Docker shits the bed. Next day your E2E service is hosed. Following day you hit an API limit and need to go dump more money into the firepit. Everything is broken all the time.
I can point to several false accusations I suffered as an elementary school student that made me deeply skeptical and wary of authority.

"Even if I color in the lines, or intentionally dabble in creative thinking, some adult might yell at me... Hm. I don't need their permissions. They obviously don't see how great I am so they are a dumb nuisance."
Sure — complain all you want, it's gonna keep happening. Even if I agreed with the classification that all crypto buyers are greater fools, it's not like standard finance is hurting for idiots who want to get rich quick.
Great! This is a security thing, it sunset two years ago, PSF does not even provide security updates any more. There is no good reason it should remain on user computers.
The JWT is a perfectly good example of this, it's not hot compared to the sun but it's way hotter than the cosmic background. And that's if you're just reflecting light back to the sun, when you try to extract meaningful work from it you'll have to absorb a lot more energy.
People keep saying that and yet when pressed for some hypothetical application that might make sense to do with a Blockchain they just put forth ideas that don't stand up to scrutiny like deed management or transferable game assets.

I've begun to watch the video, I'm about 15 minutes in. Already I've seen an admission of bias against "hypercapitalism" as a cornerstone to the entire viewpoint, several obvious attempts to gloss over inconvenient details that the filmmaker is clearly aware of and understands, and a sequence of ad hominem attacks against prominent capitalist figures in the industry. Still, I'll hold judgment on the documentary as a whole until I've completed it, which I will.

My reading is that they weren't called to the principal's office to fix things, but after the fact and in a disciplinatory fashion.
Is it possible that a large portion of amazon's employees are only staying for the money? If I understand correctly, a large portion of the compensation is tied to the stock price (RSUs). What happens to miserable employees' stay/go decisions if the stock price stops climbing and the total compensation effectively decreases as a result?

What happens to the stock price if a larger number of employees leave?

This does not look like a stable system to me.

Sure, there are a bunch of related tweaks but the others aren't relevant to today's topic (the "Dutch Reach" to encourage car users to look where a bike would be before opening the car door)

The motor vehicle light sequence is different too, a Pelican had an extra "flashing amber" step which is because it doesn't know if it's clear, so drivers can proceed if the crossing is obviously clear under flashing amber, a Puffin does not have this step.

And the timers work differently, a Pelican with a local timer (e.g. in the middle of a street not attached to a junction) I believe runs its timer when you hit the button, so a 30 second delay means 30 seconds every time you cross, whereas a Puffin has an expiring timer, if the crossing hasn't been used recently (again this won't apply as part of an integrated crossing for a junction) its timer will have run out and it will give pedestrians right of way almost immediately, the timer just prevents excessive spamming if several pedestrians cross in succession.

And of course engineers can tweak any of this for a specific application, it's just that some of this stuff is available out of the box and gets re-used. Railway signals are the same, you can buy "off the shelf" a lamp that says RA ("Right Away", a signal platform staff give) or CD ("Close Doors") but if you decide what's needed is definitely a sign that lights up "HN" then you can special order that and the makers will build it custom, you just need to train all your staff how to use it.
This is quite disgusting. If there is one place where your privacy should be guarded it is there, plenty of places will forcibly admit you (at huge costs) if they see you as a suicide risk.

Two sentences in that piece are particularly amazing taken together:

>"Data science and AI are at the heart of the organization — ensuring, it says, that those in the highest-stakes situations wait no more than 30 seconds before they start messaging with one of its thousands of volunteer counselors[...]"

>"Others questioned whether the people who text their pleas for help are actually consenting to having their data shared, despite the approximately 50-paragraph disclosure the helpline offers a link to when individuals first reach out."

They better start offering a speedreading course together with their suicide prevention service because otherwise that's hard to reconcile. In all seriousness, milking suicide prevention data in any shape or form to make more money, can we go any lower? There is only one legitimate way to handle data here, for law enforcement or medical professionals, otherwise delete it.
Around 1983, me and a few friends were into "war dialing". We found a bank, did about a half-day of research (default logins for popular systems used by banks), and were able to get into the system. We all got bored and stopped poking around after a day or so - we were kids, none of us understand anything about banking. But one kid continued to poke around for months, and he was making changes, too - like, creating his own "backdoor" accounts. Well, naturally we all got caught, not because of some technical task force or anything, but rather because the one kid was bragging about it on a bunch of local BBS's. Then he ratted out the rest of us.

Keep in mind this was around 1983; it was a different time - "computer crimes" didn't really exist, nor the people to investigate them. And that's basically how we all escaped any significant consequences. I was totally unaware of all this at the time, but it was explained to me later in life (by my mother, who is still bitter about it - sorry, mom; you bought me the Commodore 64! LOL) that the FBI didn't really consider it a crime because nothing was stolen. The local cops proposed "trespassing", but we never stepped foot in the bank; we didn't even know where it was.

Thankfully this was just prior to the release of "War Games". Everything changed after that movie. Law enforcement started to pay attention. There were stories about the FBI investigating kids on local BBS's, thinking they were working for the Soviet Union, trying to access military secrets or something like that.
E.g. generating performance-critical DSP code at runtime, depending on the execution environment, e.g. cache-line width. Of course you can pre-generate common variants, but code size will be exponential in the number of parameters.

"Patryn, who changed his legal name twice, was the co-founder of QuadrigaCX, a Canadian exchange that shut down after Patryn's partner Gerald Cotten suddenly died in India in 2018 while owing users around $190 million in crypto at the time’s exchange rate."

Most manga/anime fans in the west are young women. That doesn't mean they bring it to work, but they're not offended by manga having women without perfectly flat chests or anything. Remember, the attraction to those features is just in your head.

Actually this reminds me of an anime forum I used to be on that was so sensitive about this issue (because the other boards made fun of them constantly) they ended up being reduced to only liking shows where shirtless men got in homoerotic fights, because any women being on screen that wasn't a grandma was a sign of fanservice.

Around 20 years ago I fell in with a bunch of screenwriter wannabes. Roughly 100 people, plus or minus, including myself. A difficult, highly competitive creative field.

Every person in that group who worked hard at it has had success at some level. That varies from making distributed indie films to running a network television show, but some level of success.

None of the successful people half-assed it, none of the hard workers utterly failed, none of the half-assed people made it.

The degree of success is largely out of your control. Innate ability, luck, etc are all factors. But the time and effort expended are in your control, and they're the primary factor of being able to make a run of it.
Because in the United States, unprivileged kids often get thrown into what we call the "school-to-prison pipeline" for inconveniencing authority figures.

Exactly. You're a lot more likely to practice the tightrope (and benefit from the experience) when there's a [social] safety net.
Same. I follow ~700 accounts, and have ~10000 followers, but I get minimal spam. The vast majority of engagements seem genuine.

The last spam I got was where someone tagged me in some bullshit NFT giveaway, where entrants had to tag 5 of their "friends" to qualify. Definitely spam, but at a cursory glance, it was human-generated rather than bot spam.

Personally, there are enjoyable parts of shopping and there are the not enjoyable parts. Depending on which parts you enjoy, and the magnitude at which you like or dislike something, means that it varies.

Trying things on without the anxieties of mailing returns and what happens if a return gets lost or rejected etc. is amazing.

Waiting in line for 30 minutes+ because a typical American mall store is understaffed and has maybe one constant cashier is not fun.

It depends on how much you like the discovery vs. how much you hate the waiting. Some people who are big, tall, and petite don't get the joy of discovery, for example, due to limited in-store selections.
It's not normal. It is scope creep.

My partner is an executive chef at a private school. It's one of our country's top schools that gets the occasional visit from people with royal titles (and one might soon be King), so think super rich kids: there is a lot of pampering. All of a sudden through this Covid thing we're all working through, there are texts and phone calls at 5:AM "There's a kid with a new allergy coming in today. Make changes in the lunch menu to accommodate them." This is literally a situation where one could ask, "Shouldn't this be an email, CC'd to others involved, too? And maybe even the day before so appropriate food items can be ordered?"

It's super annoying and clearly goes against how things are normally done in a well managed business. A lot of companies are clearly taking advantage of all the workarounds this pandemic has forced us to contend with. Except usually the abuse isn't even related to pandemic conditions.

A lot of people are technically working 24x7 nowadays.
Interesting addendum on the matter of reversing “æsthetic”: I asked my parents what they reckoned, and they both went the other way, reckoning that if you wrote æ in the initial word it should stay æ; my dad said he wouldn’t write it that way in the first place, but that if you’ve written it that way you were treating æ as a letter more than just a way of drawing a certain pair of letters. In declaring otherwise, I was using the linguistic approach, which acknowledges æ as a ligature of the ae diphthong from Latin, being purely stylistic and not semantic. And so we see still more how these things are approximations and subjective.

The federal government doesn't necessarily need to fund the residency training of doctors, but if we want more doctors then that's the fastest way to get them. Most teaching hospitals are non-profits so if they had to self fund residency programs then they would have to raise prices to patients. Hospitals barely break even (or less) on many Medicare service fees so those don't provide much margin to fund residency programs. That is the reality of our situation regardless of whether you trust the AMA.

Yes the American Petroleum Institute is a good source of information on some topics. They're certainly biased and I disagree with some of their conclusions, but they publish some accurate data and it's worth understanding their perspective.

I see what you mean; I badly worded that. I meant more that any group of individuals could get together to decide to wage war and that the state doesn't have a monopoly on violence per se.
A lot of manga is written by women, and a lot of it is read by women. You're overreacting and being unnecessarily prudish. None of the art on any of those books is even remotely lascivious.
Some of these strike me as things where the software _could_ exist, but it's either not FOSS, or I haven't heard of it yet.

For instance, there are LVM2 snapshots. Maybe those do affect performance. If the cost difference is big enough though, couldn't you just account for that in the budget?

I agree that literal "bare metal" sucks, but self-hosted with cloud characteristics (containers, virtualization) is not totally obsolete.
I really hope that if Apple is ever forced to open up their devices, that it takes the form of allowing other app stores and not allowing side-loading.

This is more of a reason for reverting police funds to other efforts, such as people that can help in cases like you brought up. Law enforcement has just become a huge bucket that encompasses too much.
That is what I thought also, but how lucrative could that be in 2022? Also, seems like he is undervaluing it given 1 person could quadruple the revenue
I think the person you're replying to was saying that there was no reason to remove the statement form. The only thing that removing the statement form of print did was break existing code. You could easily allow print to act as a function by removing it as a reserved word in expression contexts.

They made print a function out of a misplaced sense of language "purity", where they made a random ideal and broke code to support it.

Let's compare to JS: 20 years of new features and old code still works. Keywords were added, and old code still works. Even code that uses those keywords still works. It took more effort from the language implementers, but that's as it should be: it took a bit more effort for a few teams (who make the engines), instead of a large amount of effort for tens of thousands of groups.
Until you realize the largest two cryptocurrencies are still using POW. Also, let me guess, who has stakes in this Algorand thing you mentioned.

I would bet they have a semi-persistent "non-logged user session cookies" to track you. Just like every other Advertising/publisher does already.

Decentralization, privacy, and censorship resistance are indeed goals of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. In addition, they also serve as speculative assets.

What's fraudulent about that? Cryptocurrencies do in fact provide all of that (not all of them provide all of these guarantees, but some do).
To this day I still don't see which changes in python 3 warranted breaking backwards compatibility with python 2.
How is that good for the bottom line?
