For me it is even more than this. I don't care about people's politics on literally any level. I don't hold strong beliefs either way on anything.

If I want to think about politics I will read an old political science book.

There isn't even any discussion of politics on twitter anyway. It is a weird type of recreational negative infotainment.

I really want to make a profile that I don't delete in a few days but it is impossible. The platform is basically unusable unless one thinks starting the day off with a flood of negativity is a good idea.
I know of a doctor who gave a seminar at our workplace.

His case was. The cure for most non serious illness, is mostly to wait. Not even medication.

This is why most people think homeopathy works.
Not risks, has become.
I don't think we should ban cheap sugar, just keep it in solid form. The human brain never evolved in an environment where thirst leads to calories.

If you split soda into water and candy, then at least candy intake is visible and controllable.
There seems to be a lot of evidence that audiences that prefer 24fps do so because they’re so used to it, and for that reason, expert film makers seem to be even more strongly biased than general audiences.

24fps wasn’t chosen by animators, and wasn’t decided on for it’s Impressionism, right? If you want Impressionism, 1fps is better than 24, no? Disney used to animate on 1s, 2s, 3s for both economy and style reasons, and no longer do. Live action films are also 24fps, because all films are 24 by default, and many people complain about live action in higher frame rates. Suggesting that Disney consciously chose 24 for it’s impressionism seems revisionist and inaccurate.

Kids watching modern TVs, however, don’t seem as bothered by 60fps video, because they’re much more used to it.

BTW I used to prefer 24 fps categorically, back when I worked in film. Personally, 60fps looks weird to me, but it’s becoming better. I’ve started really disliking 24fps when there are horizontal pans, that kind of shot is now unwatchable for me, it’s awful. I don’t know why it used to seem tolerable.
It does, but that selects and moves the cells not the objects and then redraws the cells? Actually, going back to have a play I see that it does allow some modification of existing objects but it isn't terribly flexible.

I've just done a quick search and found one that I've not spotted before, which is a bit closer to what I want in that one respect, but not nearly complete overall (and not seen a check-in in 8 years): https://textik.com/ - that might illustrate the key difference that I see missing in asciiflow.
Okay, if you can't google "EBS storage" I'm going to be frank and say you shouldn't be running a storage service.
I think the Public Service in Canada also suffers from extremely opaque hiring practices. Unless you're aware of what they're looking for in a resume or the PS style cover letter, you're just sending in your resume to the void. FSWEP is the unofficial actual hiring route. Then the average time for a lot of hiring outside of getting "bridged in" is 9 months or more. Most people find that absurd.

I do know some CCs and branches are trying to make changes but the PS in general is an absolute dinosaur for hiring and shows no signs of improving to match the bleed they'll have as people start retiring out.
I hate hate HATE this style of web site design. Great content but why does it all have to be scrollbar-triggered-dynamic? It never works right for me. It's completely unusable on mobile and incredibly tedious on desktop.
Mazda already wised up and removed the touchscreen in their newer models, everything in the infotainment is operated by a little rotary/dpad-thing located near the gearshift. I think it's quite nice, input wise.

Software wise it's a complete mess. The software itself is actually pretty OK, the navigation is just very verbose and it's strange that I can't just update it myself. The startup is also quite annoying. It's an embedded computer in a car, it should be instant.

Android auto support is a trashfire. It occasionally (when i drive for more than an hour) crashes the entire infotainment system, forcing it to reboot (a 1 minute process). Thankfully it resumes from where it left off after the reboot.
This reads like someone who just got dumped by a journalist living in Brooklyn.
I'm aware of that.

This is what I meant by how hard it is to talk about 'all'. Someone says all and then someone gives an example that's not all and so what are we talking about?

Ultimately I think there are differences between country A and country B's methods and etc.
> In what situation would increasing the size of a vdev be better than increasing the size of a pool?

When you want to add a single drive to expand your available storage capacity, without reducing the degree of redundancy you're already using. That use case should have been obvious given how much discussion it's already received in this thread, so I think you have some kind of blind spot about anything small-scale. This is why it's good to actually understand the competition, even after deciding which tradeoffs are right for you.
> You have to keep in mind that a lot of those highlighted "trivial" series of mistakes can be just the result of parallel construction, and what evidence really "did them in" can be completely different from what's stated by the prosecution.

If you had such capabilities, the moment it is known you have it would immediately neutralize any value you derive from that capability.

What is the logical course of action?

Deny. Deny. Deny.

Disavowing, deception, secrecy of such capability is what gives them the edge.

Again, there is no proof that Satoshi Nakamoto was some good hearted criminal/spook.
Mine from 2014 does, did they remove them? It also has the navigation nob in the center console that I love.
I've definitely run into websites where you can tell the developers only ever tested their work with a smooth scrolling multitouch trackpad.

Clicky vertical only mousewheel scroll? Sorry, spent $6000 on the maxed out laptop but can't get a $10 mouse to go with it.

Enjoy scrolling two pixels per wheel revolution because our scroll hijack only works right on trackpads.
No, but they intelligence agencies do the same stuff. And private hidden funders of politicians do the astroturfing... I don't really see much difference if it done by government or people who pay the politicians running the government.

OK, so did they die or move on to a better paying opportunity?
I'm a bit puzzled by the analysis:
"Note that Australia and New Zealand have high MADs. This can be attributed to the fact that these two countries had a low number of active COVID19 cases due to the highly restrictive government measures.".

From the table, Australia has 9.59, which is comparable to Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg and Switzerland, but also Nicaragua, Thailand, Tajikistan, Haiti.
Why is Australia a special case here, why does the same reasoning not apply to China (which has/had, to say the least, "highly restrictive government measures"), and why is it not weird that all these countries, regardless of their autoritarian status, have a "high MAD"?

"TikTok shares your data more than any other social media app" fits easily in the 80 character limit. No need to change "any other social media app" to "any other app" for that reason. This feels like it's actively trying to mislead people.
I'm a big fan of people building vehicles - I do - but there's a hot rodding expression 'beautiful deathtrap'.

People build aesthetically attractive vehicles, often with very powerful engines, spend a fortune on paint and visuals but there are lots of potentially deadly mechanical single points of failure.

Some of these vehicles are mostly trailer queen show cars, but the ones that are driven a lot often need some safety work. I know of a socal shop that fixes high end customs designed by TV show car personalities so they are actually driveable

> why do I want that?

The reason why you want to do that is because, given unbounded amount of betting, the bankroll of someone following the Kelly strategy will, with probability 1, eventually permanently exceed that of any other strategy.
For longer CSS files I use ASCII text to mark and visually separate the breakpoints. An advantage of this is the ability to see the breakpoints in the minimap. Something like this: https://css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mini-map.j...

There's even a Sublime Text plugin to generate this text.
I've got to say, while I'm not the biggest fan of teams, I've been using it daily for the last 5 years on all platforms: iOS, Android, Windows and macOS and while it isn't without its shortcomings, I can't imagine it enraging me enough to quit a job or pass up an opportunity. Sending this feedback to a potential employer seems kind of ridiculous too. I think I'd be more flabbergasted than anything to read that a candidate who seemed like a fit decided to pass on the job because they hated Teams with such fervor.
Name a single fusion plant that has been running uninterrupted for years.

Meanwhile Australia has retooled for 10% Solar and batteries in a matter of years, that number is rapidly increasing, and is turning off their coal plants.
You can drag edges, but it doesn't seem to have a concept of a "square" beyond the tool itself. So after you've placed it, you can't move individual shapes around. The select works more like a text-editor's highlighter than something like the lasso tool in draw.io
Your phone number is personally identifying info. Anyone with this info can positively identify you personally from phone company records.

The NYTimes seems to be doing quite well on subscription revenue.
To add another bit of anecdata, if either station has their PI mis-configured, you can get handoff without being in the AF list. 1st and 3rd character matching rings a bell.

Seen it happen in the UK with RDS and head units tuning to the higher powered (mis-configured) station.
Yeah from the 10 mins I spent in the docs I do not think there is one baked in. You would probably have to roll your own. It would not be pretty. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/synchapi/...
The concern is that experimenters are wasting time on experiments with promising looking Q plasma but with orders of magnitude smaller Q total (eg pulsed laser systems)

It’s important not to forget the big picture. Otherwise you end up optimizing one piece of the system, and causing another piece of the system to work less well in a way the degrees overall system performance.
> white supremacism has enjoyed profound resurgence and evangelicals constitute a huge bulk -- up to half -- of the population.

There has definitely been a resurgence in people using the term "white supremacy". Whether that is tied to a resurgence of white supremacy is doubtful.

The statement that up to half the population are evangelicals is just wrong.
Is the loan for you personally or for the company? There are a couple of services that specifically give loans to startups based on their recurring revenue (usually need access e.g. to Stripe).

My mistake, I meant 'acquisition' but was watching the news and typed the word I was reading on screen which was IPO. I've since corrected the comment.
My wife's car has the HD Radio stuff, and it's pretty neat to see album art for songs playing over the radio.

I don't find it distracting. I treat it like everything else on the dashboard and I don't look at it unless I'm at a stoplight or whatever.
Yes, many trackers, for many different companies that all serve their own ends. TikTok on the other hand only serves one master, the Chinese government. They only need this one tentacle, no need for multiple trackers.
What's "SAO"?
I read somewhere that the Mongolians believed flowing water was sacred and they had a taboo about defecating near it. For the wrong reasons they accidentally prevented cholera. If avoiding sleeping under trees prevents tree falls, lightning strikes, coconut comas, snakes from dropping on you, and whatever else then it doesn't really matter why the hunters don't sleep under them does it? Not having coconuts to worry about is just a happy bonus to the survival statistics.
> Who is?

That was my thought. Listing the 'good faith' operators might be feasible, if only because the list would be very short.
I may be wrong, but similar to BTC et al. vanity keys I don't think there is any actual loss of entropy.

FWIW Linux containers are OS-level with cgroups.
There are some awful looking guys, who nevertheless achieved quite a lot despite their lack of beauty. Naturally, some selection bias might be at play here ( as in -- you don't hear from the ones that did not make it about how they persevered and failed ).

There is no doubt about the advantages. Beyond the already present research, I have my own little anecdote of a friend, who was not great with computers and yet is now IT manager at a major corporation.

As for the white privilege, I can only say that I don't know. I come from a very white country. As you can guess, given the invariable laws of human nature, since nearly everyone was white, another other had to be found. I don't know what it is about humans that forces us to immediately label everything and self-segregate.
The loan is for me, personally.
Well, I'd just compromise.

Travel locally, by car. Trips of about 3-4-5 hours should be doable, for extended weekends or week long vacations.

If the Sinaloa cartel can just walk into an HSBC bank with literally blood stained cash then it would've been okay for everybody else.

The true professionals in this industry only use crypto as a reference in their private ledger stored far far out of reach to any Western government.

It's funny that these successful professionals are also the most paranoid and least trusting of crypto (they are convinced Bitcoin was created by the US Government itself).
It’s not what happened in this situation, but it’s not hard to imagine one that might. Perhaps the receiver software requires a regular data update via the 3G network, and when 3G shuts down the receiver doesn’t work anymore?
> Theory dictates that with stronger magnets, the reactor can be scaled down (with the square/cube, can't remember exactly), and thus cost and time to develop

OTOH, in a tokamak, the plasma volume (and potential energy output) scales quadratically with the torus' aspect ratio (ratio of major to minus radius), so I'm not sure that tokamak-based fusion really is particularly suitable to miniaturization.
I don't believe that this is entirely mis-stated.

We already know that fusion power plants are going to operate by igniting plasma in short bursts -- a few seconds, maybe 10s at most -- and generating a huge amount of power during that single burst. You then ignite it again and again.

The question is how much total energy you can extract from each of those bursts. By that metric, the total energy is what's important, not the power. Producing 10 quadrillion watts of power isn't that useful if it's only for 100 trillionths of a second. (Both numbers pulled from an actual recent result last August. [1])

"59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy" means a single burst produced that much. That's significantly more than the paltry 1.3MJ from that other result I just linked to.

Yes, of course you could get that much from a wall socket over the course of hours, but we know we haven't been able to sustain a fusion reaction for a few seconds, so that's the timeframe we're talking about for a single burst.

EDIT: And, at the bottom of the article it says that the reaction ran at 11MW, so plugging that in it sounds like, indeed, it ran for 5 seconds.
I admire the enthusiasm, but no.

It's alarming how insular the Safari team is at Apple. They legit think it's the best browser. To gather some data, I quickly skimmed through 20 MacBook unboxings by regular people on YouTube and the first thing they do is download Chrome. Every single one of them. Google would've taken over the iPhone and iPad as well because regular everyday people want and like Chrome but Apple's anticompetitive practices are not letting people access it.
> If you're using RAID1 vdevs, you could always remove and add mirrors.

This is still answering the wrong question, unless by "add mirrors" you mean "add another drive to a mirrored vdev and get more usable capacity", which I don't think is how ZFS works and would be strange to summarize as "add mirrors".

I'm trying to discuss an idea you don't seem to have any terminology for. Can you please try to meet me halfway and at least respond in a manner that makes it clear you understand there's a real distinction to be made?
Good concept for a Black Mirror episode
Theoretically, when you generate a Curve25519 key, you're meant to "clamp" it, which premultiplies the key by the cofactor. In practice, you can get away with just taking any random 32-byte string. Clamping (and its practical importance) is a whole big discussion among Curve25519-heads.

I think you're being too harsh on the C char. It is guaranteed sizeof(char) == 1, and it is guaranteed to be at least 8 bits long, i.e. long enough for any ascii character.

These requirements are perfectly good for the needs of a CHARacter type. If you need to control signed / unsigned because you want to use the char as a small integer, you can specify yourself whether it is signed or not.

In reality, where chars are used to store ASCII, the signdness of the datatype is meaningless because the highest bit is never set.

Wildcard certificate using Traefik on a secondary domain generated using DNS challenge. Since this gives Traefik too much permissions to my DNS (CloudFlare now has better RBAC, but I haven't switched to it) - I use a secondary domain for my homeserver.

For the few services where I want to use my primary domain, I run dehydrated once in a while from my local setup (which uses my password manager on a script). These services do end up exposed publicly on the CT Logs, but I'm okay with that.

I proxy these services over a DO VPN, but resolve these internally to private IPs using NextDNS. There's also a internal domain for every service (service.in.example.com resolves to internal IP and service.example.com resolves to public IP, and service.example.com resolves to the private IP within my home network)

Benford's law is not without critics, but the deviations measured and represented on the map would seem to directionally match the severity of policies that remove individual freedoms, and anecdotal reports about the severity of enforcement and ensuing controversy. I'm definitely seeing what I want to see in the data, and will readily admit the Benford technique is more of an investigative heuristic than a law in this case. However, I think the difference is while my opinions are absolutely influenced by the logic of some underlying beliefs, they're necessary heuristics that facilitate risk hedging.

In my own case, personally, I am pretty sure Canada's response policies are leveraging the pandemic as a pretext to impose a digital identity system designed to have the effect of reducing every person to a political minority of one, as a means to neutralize resistance to ever more radical non-consensual transformations of our society. Sure, get shots, take care of yourself, wear a mask if you think you are a source of risk. Rolling political compliance checks at every public gathering and turning principled people into an outgroup and a new underclass? No thanks. Even if it's a small probability, the impact is so huge that it's reasonable to index on mitigating it. There are reasonable and thoughtful people who are ready to draw a line. Data like this is pretty good, but even when it supports my particular flavour of ideology, I'd still treat it as an interesting anecdote, and not evidence.

Right, I actually see this as a very simple trade issue! China doesn't allow US social networks in China, so the US shouldn't allow Chinese social networks in the US.

Doing anything else means that Chinese companies have the ability to build international platforms—where both Chinese and US citizens can participate—and US companies do not. Furthermore, those international platforms could potentially be made to enforce the CCP's standards for speech, setting the tone for conversations about Uyghurs and Taiwan worldwide.
Indeed they are. Thanks for clarifying that.
