"but rather readying themselves for a Ukraine-Russia escalation" - but rather *pushing* for a Ukraine-Russia escalation.

You should read not only what the state department tries to claim, but also what the russian official figures are saying (google translate?). Objectively, you are advancing troops to Russian border, and not Russia advancing its troops to yours. And you have the history of invading other nations, not Russia (though you would claim Russia invaded Ukraine, remember that Ukraine was part of Russia long before the american state came into being, that no one ever considered Lugansk and Donetsk "ukrainian cities", and that the current ukranian neonazi government, supported by US in its role of a battering ram against Russia, tries to ban the Russian language in Ukraine, and glorifies WWII collaborationists).
I'm surprised by the PSP sales numbers. I don't think I've seen one outside of Japan.

Rogan has never promoted white supremacists. That is slander by the media.
I quit Facebook in the latter half of the 2000's. Some of my family and friends suddenly stopped inviting me to things. I think anyone you lose because they have to send you a text message or email instead of a facebook invite/whatsapp message isn't really worth having as a friend.

Especially if the reason you ditch Whatsapp is for ethical/moral reasons.
As big as that black hole is, its gravitational field is nowhere near large enough to hold the galaxy together. What everything is orbiting around is the center of mass of the whole system. [1]

'Everything', here, includes that black hole, all the planets of all the stars (which orbit along with their suns as a solar system), and also the dark matter, if there is any. Dark matter has been hypothesized to explain why galaxies generally seem to be rotating too fast to hold together, based on the mass of the matter that we have observed, and it does so by proposing there is more mass than we thought.

There is another hypothesis (MOND) that posits that the anomaly is on account of gravity being slightly different at long ranges. In this view, too, everything is still orbiting around the center of mass - what's different is the size of the gravitational force each body is subject to.

Note that, in general, you cannot calculate the velocities within a galaxy simply by assuming a point mass, equal to that of the whole galaxy, at its center. In a spherically-symmetric situation, only the mass inside of a body's radius counts, as that outside of it pulls in all directions in a way that cancels out (AFAIK, this is so for symmetric disks as well. [2]) In practice, the motion of any body close to our galaxy's center will be dominated by the central black hole, as it is located close to the galactic center.

The vast majority of the code in that repository is in the IO monad and uses carefully placed “!” eager evaluation annotations. Both facts only serve to reinforce my point that a programmer must have control over the way in which computations proceed to build interactive applications. Haskell does allow some level of control over this as I said but it ends up not looking like Haskell, it looks like C with funny syntax.
It's not sensible at all. They have the right to do whatever they want on their servers but scanning my computer crosses the line. It doesn't matter what it's for or when it happens. What matters is I don't want it to happen at all and their software disrespects my wishes.

End-to-end encryption is meaningless if they see your data before it's actually encrypted. There's no point if the endpoints are compromised.
Fair point, though at that stage, early cancellation only may apply, because you can back out of the trial on/before seven days.

Early cancellation fees will apply after the trial, is the wording that is the clearest, I guess.

This is a really interesting exploration of word choice though. I must say, I had not considered that the word "annual" could be perceived to be unwieldy in this situation, for example.

This isn't a normal GDPR situation where the user's data directly is being stored in a way that's accessible to the user as well.

It's you that fails to understand the GDPR: that situation is not possible. In this case, the IAB is acting as the data controller for this data. As per GDPR requirements, when they share this data (for whatever purpose) with third-party processors, they must ensure through their contracts that the processor can comply with data deletion requests coming from users through the IAB.

If they cannot comply with that, both the controller and the processor are in violation of the GDPR, the controller doubly so because the GDPR requires them to audit their chosen data processors for GDPR compliance.

The tunnel is the only way, besides helicopter to get to Whittier besides the port.

https://dot.alaska.gov/creg/whittiertunnel/faq.shtml

Why is Whittier so important to the Alaska Railroad?

From an economic and geographic standpoint, Whittier represents the Alaska Railroad's only viable freight interchange point for its barge service connecting Alaska with the lower 48 states and Canada. Seward and Anchorage are not viable port alternatives for barge interline service. Anchorage is not free of ice year-round and Seward requires traveling over a mountain pass at a 3% grade (it would take six locomotives to haul a heavy load from Seward versus two from Whittier). Whittier is a year-round, ice-free, deep-water port. It is located only 50 miles from Anchorage and has slight grades for trains and engines. For these reasons, all the Alaska Railroad's railcars, locomotives, and rail-borne freight must enter and depart via Whittier.
Sure, just as police use unions today to escape accountability for bad behavior. I'm certainly not arguing that every single thing a union has done or stood for is universally moral or just. What institution in any period of history bats 1000 in terms of doing the right thing by every person in society? Feel free to name one. But we absolutely take a lot of what labor movements have given our society for granted. Child labor laws are another great example.

The underlying point still stands: a labor force that works together is vastly more powerful and therefore much more of a threat to the ownership class than a workforce that acts individually. It's in the best interests of executives to facilitate the conversations around DEI to avoid that anger spilling over into collective action, especially as sympathy in the labor movement continues to rise in America.
I don't know what I'm missing, but I've tried to use Time Machine many times over the past decade and every time it's the same thing. After a few weeks, it forgets what it's doing and has to rebuild the backup from scratch.
no particular concern with the article, simply prefer to have access to as close to the source as possible. The more layers, the more chance of miscommunication.

If the original source is easily available online, and in English, then I would much rather read THAT, than read a second hand report based on it.
Ha! Coincidence I'm fiddling with RGB mod deblur right now, I think I'm blind as I can't see difference. A lot of this is personal preference. I tried playing Goldeneye in my ossc, honestly to me it's a better game on an emulator, it runs at 60fps, can appreciate the draw distance they achieved as I can make out the baddies instead of a jumble of pics.

Same with wipeout 2097 on PS1 emulator.

However Ive noticed played 1080 snowboarding on real hardware is way way more responsive. So it's a tough call. Also emulators have bugs, like Mario's triple jump not working etc. It's all trade offs really.
As a CAD system it's okay, I've tried it. However, for mechanical design and manufacturing integrated CAM is a huge advantage. CAM is really a related problem in open source to having a good CAD system... it's just about as complicated (if not more) mathematically and there's a big advantage in terms of complexity of the software and ease of use if CAM is integrated with CAD.

Lots of people have noticed this with Fusion 360... the ability to switch back and forth between workspaces, from Design to manufacture(CAM or 3d print or whatever) is huge.

So if all I needed was CAD, I'd consider Alibre or Rhino. For CAD with integrated CAM, there's no alternative to Fusion that doesn't cost over $10k per seat. Which sucks, because it's an Autodesk product and a subscription service rather than stand alone software.
What you say sounds like someone from the 70's bashing video games as a gimmick because their son got bored of playing Pong. As I said, it's too early for VR to catch on; there is still a huge space to explore there. Infantile avatars in VR is Pong in the 70's. Headset itself may be a temporary gimmick as we will surely get better ways to connect our senses to virtual worlds, but VR isn't going away.
I found this amusing:

Except the batteries on that rover are long dead. Many, if not all, of the plastic and paper insulators exposed to vacuum are now brittle and broken. All labels or painted surfaces are likely bleached white. Differential expansion during lunar daylight cycles has likely snapped a few things here and there too. Fifty years of exposure to static electric charges on the moon has put lunar dust in all sorts of places it doesn't belong. Powering up the electrical systems would be interesting/scary. Any metal parts that have been touching each other, again in vacuum, are now contact/cold-welded together. The wheels might still turn, but the bearings are likely shot. And that is all before any talk of micrometeors.
Changing it to pure s-expressions would be easy though, I guess just `let` isn't following that rule? I do love the no-parenthesis lets though.
I agree that many outlets are screwing up their editorial policies, and Spotify definitely doesn't seem to be putting any effort into that regard. But I think Joe Rogan also screwed up his editorial responsibilities to some extent. He said it himself, that he doesn't research the topics beforehand, he just begins thinking about things on the spot as the interview unfolds and that he doesn't present the opposite views or make clear what level of disagreement the topic has.
>That's one of the things that's great about Apple's iAP and Apple being the handler of transactions. There's no tricks

If you don't cancel a three day trial before the end of the second day, you are automatically billed. That's not a three day trial, that's a two day trial. A full 33% less than what you are explicitly promised[0]:

>If you signed up for a free or discounted trial subscription and you don't want to renew it, cancel it at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

>If you cancel during a free trial period, you might lose access to the subscription immediately.

(Note: Although it says you "might" lose access immediately, in my experience you always loose access immediately)

That means it's basically impossible to "trial" software for the period Apple advertises. No matter if the period is 3 days, 7 days or 3 months. It's a dark pattern, a dirty trick that is blatantly consumer hostile.

The answer to that can be found in a statement that Spotify's CEO made during a company town hall earlier this week[1]...

>"A publisher has editorial control over a creator’s content — they can take action on the content before it’s even published,” he says, like editing episodes, removing guests, or preventing one from publishing at all. Ek noted that Spotify does have editorial control over the properties it owns outright, like The Ringer and Gimlet, but emphasized the distinction between those studios and Rogan. “Even though JRE is an exclusive, it is licensed content. It is important to note that we do not have creative control over Joe Rogan’s content. We don’t approve his guests in advance, and just like any other creator, we get his content when he publishes, and then we review it, and if it violates our policies, we take the appropriate enforcement actions.”

So contractually speaking, they can't edit the content, essentially making it all-or-nothing when it comes to an episode. If Rogan feels strongly enough about having an episode put back up but with the kind of edit you suggested, then the onus to do so is on him, not Spotify. That's the deal that Rogan signed.

> If i am remembering correctly, there was a company that was using videos of lava lamps for encryption or as passwords or some such.

The method dates back to SGI's Lavarand: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavarand

A related system, LavaRnd uses webcams that have their lenscaps on, so the sensors are only detecting thermal noise:

https://www.lavarand.org/

But Cloudflare is the most famous implementor of the technique:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/randomness-101-lavarand-in-produ...

ISTR that US embassies tried using atmospheric noise as a seed for generating one-time pads at some point, but that was deprecated as being too vulnerable to undetectable outside interference.

By comparison, the Cloudflare system with the lava lamps in the lobby is tamper-evident.

> The claim was that it is un crackable because truly random. I wonder if this can be used to emulate the physical process and break that encryption.

No. Chaotic processes are so sensitive to initial conditions and perturbations from the environment that any simulation quickly diverges from the actual process being simulated. Other common macroscale systems that exhibit this property are the three body problem and double pendulums.
The difference is that .sort() only uses the sign of the return value and ignores the magnitude. Ultimately, all the sort algorithm needs is the boundary condition, e.g. a comparator. The SDF equivalent needs both the sign (is this point inside or outside of this implicit surface), alongside the magnitude, to determine the closest hit.

I don't see how they're that interlinked other than saying that signed distance functions are a subset of comparators.

As someone who lived directly across the river from the Bohemian Grove for about a decade, I can tell you with certainty that the only thing he was right about is that it exists and its members are wealthy. There's nothing secret about the existence or timing of the gatherings, as they're discussed in the local paper. Jobs are advertised for caterers and cleanup crews. The people hired always return, just like any other summer camp type job.

What you mention here is not a "replication crisis", it's simply a settling of proofs that are at the advancing edge of the subject. Analysing recent papers is not what the "replication crisis" is about.

The "Replication Crisis" is about confirming long-standing results that are widely accepted, and yet when re-examined for the purpose of replication cannot be confirmed.

Let's not classify all spam blacklists as the same. UCEPROTECT is in a special class of extortionist cowboy, because it's basically just an inaccurate protection racket throwing a wide net across cloud providers who won't play their game. Some other blacklists are updated regularly and only contain IP addresses that have actually sent spam. By contrast, UCEPROTECT3 just lumps ISPs into the list even though an address has never sent spam.

I run a mail server on AWS, and we use some blacklists to drop mail. It's quite effective and that's why people keep using them. A properly curated blacklist is a powerful tool, and more accurate than the machine learning mush that people have come to rely upon.
That stick carries no data, so it's not "error correction" as it normally means in this kind of context. And if you tried to apply any data in the angle it would immediately be destroyed. Or if you distinguished between "stick up" and "stick not up" you're now applying error correction to a digital system with 2 states.
It's not black and white thinking, it's a threshold, as stated.

For an average income person

- A Porsche is expensive
- A Ferrari is expensive

The fact that a Ferrari costs a lot more than a Porsche does not make a Porsche "not expensive", because there is a line (for the buyer) beyond which they consider a car expensive. There's problem a grey are below that line in which a car may cost more than they are comfortable spending, but have enough useful features that they will consider sacrificing for it. And there is a large area to the right of the expensive threshold where a lot of such cars lie.

The fact that lots of cars are past the "expensive" threshold for someone doesn't mean they're thinking in black and white.

You gotta remember the average 'layperson' is just as smart as you. Do you need people worrying about what information you see or hear? It's like worrying people will be corrupted by South Park, gangster rap, etc., etc. There's plenty of crackpot doctors that make all sorts of claims- is it blasphemous to doubt that the Food Pyramid, and three meals a day, are the correct way to eat? People can handle their own shit.
I would hold that the change to DoT rules was fundamentally reactionary, unwarranted, and not rooted in any sort of reasoned argument. The rules change seems to be based in the idea that we simply can't expect people to contain their emotions when they are asked to leave a plane they have already been seated on. I think we should maintain this expectation, and more generally maintain the expectation that people control their emotions and remain calm and reasonable in day-to-day interactions. This would all have been avoided if the fellow just got up and left, as he was told, and as the airline staff were entitled to tell him.

Also, a half-hearted apology and a bit of compensation is all the fellow is entitled to in this situation.

To me it looks like it is the way to shift responsibility from intelligence community to a political figure. If intelligence community presents some evidence, they bear responsibility if that evidence is wrong. If they have only some intelligence, they are not 100% sure and Administration must take responsibility for any actions based on it. When Administration says they have confidence, they basically say, ok, we think that this data is correct and we take political responsibility for believing in it. Whether I’m right or not, I do not know for sure. But look at WMD „evidence“ presented by Colin Powell, and it starts looking the same.
