Superiority complex is a westerner thing (eg. Semite, aryan, American white). Chinese historically has no notion of racial superiority like Nazi Germany or even Imperial Japanese. They don't even consider blood purity like Japanese. Their cultural norms is to preserve what they own. Like HK, Macao, Tibet and Taiwan. They will take decades or centuries to get it back because that is what they own even if it is millenia ago. The closest this idea would be Israel...but unlike them Chinese dont view it as God-given. It is more like it is because it is as nature dictate. China and Russia wont be allies for long because of difference in races. But as long it serves their immediate purpose they will do so. Read up how Jin fall to Mongol because the sourthern Song want to appease the Mongol. In the end they fall too. The northern also killed their best general because that can buy appeasement with Mongols. Chinese historically is like that all in tactically but very short-sighted when it comes to long-term strategy.
I think there is a more important concept embedded in this essay. Don't only assess something once and provide useful feedback during those assessments.

One of the criticisms I have of midterms in university is that you could end up getting the results back weeks or even months later. How was that useful for students to learn?
I think the point they were making is, the effects policing (even in a police state) aren't felt uniformly by everyone. A society could throw "almost everyone in jail" and you might not feel it at all.
That's very similar to what SmartScreen is.

It does not have to be 16 bit. A lot of 32 bit programs I wrote in Virtual Basic 5 or 6 does not work properly in Windows 7 or later. This is not for a lack of runtime files, but the program will either exit early with cryptic error messages or have extremely glitchy UI that makes them unusable.

I've flipped the steak a few times already and I'm still waiting for it to brown.
The butter is not melted either.

Not really surprising considering the pan is cold :(

Even with a hot pan, I would have put the butter first, not after the steak.
Yes, I perhaps failed to state one very real advantage... due to the advanced codec and fairly generous bitrate of HD Radio it will pretty universally sound superior to analog FM (unless there's something going wrong somewhere). That said some stations do make the decision to run their HD2 at a much lower bitrate that results in reduced quality, but usually that's done when their HD2 is talk or news programming only, and HDC at low bitrate handles voice pretty well even if it does get some noticeable raspiness in the high frequencies. Because radio tends to have such a bimodal distribution between "mostly music" and "mostly voice" I wondered if there has been work done on using a dedicated speech codec such as CELP or a derivative, but I think that in practice AAC (which uses the MDCT method that is also common for speech coding) performs well enough for low-bitrate speech that a dedicated speech codec would not gain a lot of efficiency or quality. Moreover, since decoding was to be implemented in hardware having any radio station using a different codec would end up driving up the cost of receivers...

People tend to look down on HD radio when I saw "98kbps typical" but it's important to realize that HDC performs very noticeably better than MPEG 1/2 at those bitrates. It does not sound like a <100kbps MP3 would.

Unfortunately, probably due to the low adoption of HD radio receivers it seems surprisingly common for radio stations to have quality problems with their HD audio due to misconfiguration. One station in my market had some kind of failure that resulted in no audio at all on their HD feed and it persisted for over a week.

Did MSN/Microsoft maybe do this many years ago?

For some reason I don't associate it with a bank (they have a personal phrase they include in official messages), but do with one of the SSO accounts I had, and feel pretty confident it wasn't Google.

Maybe Yahoo?
Ruffle is an awesome project, but there's a huge amount of work that has to be done to support the entire catalog of Flash content.

> AVM2 is ActionScript 3, which was introduced with Flash Player 9 (June 2006). After the release of Flash Professional CC (2013), authors are required to use ActionScript 3 - making any movie made after that date very likely to fall under this category.

> Ruffle is still working on the foundational support for AVM 2, and does not yet support any content that requires it. A warning will be placed in the log when you attempt to play AVM 2 content, for this reason. We do plan on supporting this soon!
Similar to me. I’m 26, but only got on the social train in 2015 or so. I scroll for a few minutes, but I’m just seeking for something interesting to learn about. To distract me, a video or article need to trigger that thirst of knowledge. And it’s not something you find on most social platforms - which is why I check HN more than anything else these days.

While "transcribing music is hard for humans", it is by far one of the best ear-training exercises a musician can possibly do. I don't transcribe music regularly, but on the occasions I did (prompted by not finding existing transcriptions of more obscure songs by well-known jazz artists) it greatly increased my understanding of the composer/musicians' approach, and my own musicality. Worthwhile project, but sometimes the journey is as valuable as the destination.

You have to assume that the state is collecting every scrap of data that MS gets from telemetry. I'm sure MS is collecting a ton of data for themselves as well. As much as the company line might say that PI is scrubbed we know anonymization is a joke, and PI isn't limited to names and credit card numbers. You can learn a lot about a person by the contents of their Prefetch folder, their Steam folder, their internet history, the amount of *.h *.c *.py files are on their drive and how often they are updated etc.

I'm sure on enterprise systems MS is pretty hands off. They've got a very stable cash cow there they don't want to scare away, but home users are probably screwed and you should expect that. MS has been making their opinion of their user's right to privacy and to control what their own computer very clear over the years. They've repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to leverage their OS against the users and their wishes for power and profit. Act accordingly.
You kinda did this to yourself by using Swift when it was not stable yet. Meanwhile old Objective-C code continues to work just fine on iOS 15.
I agree.

I recently read the book "American Muckraker" by James O'Keefe. It has quite a few examples of that in modern US.

Based on unconfirmed rumors, similar things do happen here in Montenegro as well.
The same reason car break-ins are still a problem on public streets.
Except, while in many urban places you can pay for protected parking for your car(ie a garage), you can’t do the same for bikes. Ooneepod.com is trying to improve this in the USA in particular by offering extremely low-cost and secure ‘pods’ around urban areas for people to leave their bikes.

Note: not affiliated with Oonee in any way, I just think it’s a cool way to try and address bike thefts while also improving the public space.

I don't think it would be useless, you'd just have to deal with the locked-in part - probably easy to pick - and then replace the seat tube.

So, first: I don't really know anything about stealing bikes. I've just built a couple from parts, and read articles about bike theft.

AFAICT bike theft prevention is really about deterrence. It's about slowing down a thief to up the risk of them getting caught in the act. If it turns out that these bikes are desirable (which, they don't look that way to me), and it's viable to cut the seat tube then deal with the locked part in a safe place? These bikes will get stolen.

What I don't understand is where a stolen bike like this one goes to get resold. There was an article here several months ago where a group in the US was tracking stolen bikes to a shop in Mexico, and it was especially upsetting because the guy was running his stolen bike shop in plain sight on Facebook. But they were all rare, customized, or otherwise high-end mountain bikes, multi-thousand-dollar bikes that enthusiasts dream about having.

This Yerka bike is not that, it's a boring commuter bike. 'Chromoly' steel can be a great material for a bike frame, but welded steel frames have been out of fashion for a long time. If this was using high end tubing, they'd be talking about the brand of it (i.e. Reynolds 853, not 'chromoly steel'). Most of the rest of the parts are standard low/mid grade stuff that are likewise not going to excite anyone.

The wheel locks are are also a gimmick. Not because they are easy to defeat - although probably are - but because the 3-speed integrated gear hub is going to be difficult to mate to most bikes, meaning this Yerka rear wheel is not going to be in demand. The front wheel is just a front wheel, not special, so maybe if those get stolen a lot then the Yerka ones are at risk? IDK.

This is not to say the Yerka bike is not a good bike, I just wonder if the nature of the bike is as much or more a deterrent as the frame lock and special wheel nuts.
The interesting thing about this is that YouTube is clearly trying to make it more difficult for non-official clients to stream video, as is evident from the required workaround described here:

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecom...

The legal defense of youtube-dl is premised on the idea that there's no circumvention occurring [0]. I 100% support youtube-dl and I want YouTube to stop interfering with it, but I also think we're being a little too cute when we pretend like ytdl isn't circumventing anything... it seems obvious to me that YouTube is trying to put up roadblocks and we're trying to get around them. I would feel better if we could find a way to defend ytdl without the pretense of acting like this cat-and-mouse game isn't going on.

I want aware that had become so well supported. Something to remember for later.

Though for personal projects I'll stick with self-hosting, and in DayJob we unfortunately still have to support IE11 to an extent (and beyond that some of our clients strictly whitelist everything and will reject a 3rd party they can't fully audit, ruling out CDNs for those at least, every with SRI).
If the frame is sawn, that kinda defeats the rationale for theft.
Yes, it's a problem for some. I've had the same email address for almost 20 years.

For me, marketing emails is spam - even if I signed up for it. Often you need to sign up temporarily to access a service, and their signup option doesn't always let you specify what types of emails you want to receive.

> and can be dealt with an email rule, GDPR complaint, or both.

Both take more effort than a simple whitelist based system. I simply press a keystroke and the address is out of my whitelist.

I also can now sign up for anything if I need to and never have to put in any effort to prevent it from hitting my inbox. When you step back and think about it, it's hard to recommend "Really think whether you want to sign up, and later unsubscribe/set an email rule" vs "Sign up, and don't worry - it'll never go to your inbox."

For most of my email life, I followed your route: Be careful about what I signed up for, and spend time filtering/unsubscribing. When I switched to whitelists, it was just so much better. Of all the things one has to deal with in the world, spending time tending to the inbox is just wasteful.

In the last day, I received 14 emails. 2 were personal. A few were alerts I've set up (e.g. credit card spending exceeding X amount) - I wouldn't want to lose these, but I also wouldn't want them in my inbox. The rest were for things I signed up for because I needed to buy something but did not offer an opt out option while signing up. I'm not going to spend any time unsubscribing from them.

Ukraine is trying to stay alive. All the blame for wars (World War III or otherwise) is Putin's.

Side note: it's impossible to take this writer seriously when he writes an article asking why the West didn't try to negotiate with Putin[1].

He also (pre-emptively) blames WWIII on the Trump/Russia investigation, which is equally insane and/or disingenuous.

Depends on where the facility was I guess, as they burned through many states/provinces (underfunded?) places pretty badly when covid started. Hard to manage when the usually-part-time staff is either the transmission vector or flees the scene. Perhaps Covid revealed that far too many of these places are merely storage containers for those unable to live on their own?
Excellent advice. In my experience it works only if you tried really hard the first time though, even if you failed.

You realize most of what you perceive regarding Ukraine is manufactured psyops? Zelensky is a construct, propped up by far more powerful interests in the shadows, one of which is the oligarch Kolomoisky.

One problem here is that they show it off first with images, which basically makes it a very awkward and slow compositor. If you want to work with images there is already Nuke, Houdini and Touch Designer.

Using nodes to manipulate images hasn't been a problem for a few decades. They need to show more general cases, how to iterate, how to debug, how to manage state, how to manage errors, etc.

As a white American who identifies non-binary, no. It can potentially help you understand overlapping concepts, but it’s a fundamentally different experience to be ‘unusual’ in a cultural context you mostly share than to be an outsider in the cultural experience you inhabit. Even though I prefer they/them pronouns I can conveniently be male, with my beard and my masculine presentation, for any situation that warrants it. Even if I couldn’t I’m being evaluated as a member of the same community. I’m only othered in situ. The only reason other nationalists (in Orwell’s usage) would care to take notice is to exploit divisions in situ or divisions between how their “nation” regards my gender expression and how ours does, for whatever value of “ours”.

Edit: I wrote this kind of in a rush and I feel remiss that I didn’t address “overlapping concepts” more: this is at the root of intersectionalism. Some of the experience of every marginalized group is similar to the experience of other groups. Recognizing those similarities is really valuable especially among people marginalized in different ways. I don’t mean to dismiss your recognition either, because this is a good instinct to have. My point is it’s different, even though it’s similar. But its similarity does matter as you’ve recognized.
> video games and social media are in the same class as drugs and alcohol.

Disagreed - one key aspect of the latter is physical dependance where withdraws are potentially life threatening.

It's similar sledge hammer approach to putting weed on class 1 or treating all wrong doings as 'sin'.

They are not the same things, should not be thought as the same nor treated the same.
Go watch the map. See the big picture in Russia military strategy. Setback is common in war. If Putin complete his objectives in 2 years, it still beats Americans in Iraq and Afghan 20 years. Even better than Korean and Vietnam war. Even better than Libyan and Syrian wars. In absolute terms Russian lost way more than Hitler. In fact a Tiger easily destroyed 20+ Russian tanks towards the end of the WW2. You are thinking like George Bush Jr of "mission accomplished" photo ops 20 years ago. Russian simply dont fight short war. They fight effective war of attrition. They dont have rule of engagement like USA. They mowed you down when you are down. Kiev is now about to get boxed in with the last bridge about to be blown up. All the destroyed Russian equipments are old stocks. Their Ratnik elite soldiers havnt even make appearance. You are talking emotionally. I am talking logically even if it is extremely unpopular and get downvoted heavily.

>I read his blog sometimes and all too often come away feeling disgusted. The comments sections are all echo chambers and his dialog on certain sociopolitical issues (recently, vaccine passports) is nothing short of fascist.

I used to read it frequently and enjoyed it, especially around the time he was setting up DNA lounge. Then after a while I started to notice this odd regression, as in, day by day it seemed to get younger and more naïve. When I eventually gave up it was like reading the livejournal of an edgy 15yo who'd just finished Das Kapital, or a stereotypical r/latestagecapitalism mod.

I definitely feel resonance for your position that estrangement is sometimes the best option, and is the one sure way to end a pattern of abuse that cannot otherwise be broken. I was lucky that my parents used it so much in my youth that when it came time for me to use it on them, I had seen many examples.

I might say that your family only has the power to haunt you that you now give them. Truly being able to say "you are no longer of significance to me" might lead you a place that you had not expected.

There's nothing concrete whatsoever in your comment. It just reads like generic anti-Western rant. Can you perhaps turn it into a specific anti-Western rant and give examples?
If they killed the speaker and a bunch of representatives Trump would declare martial law and lock down congress. In that event no handover of power to Biden ever took place and it is very unclear what would happen next.

The electoral count act is now out the window entirely and Trump has a bunch of the GOP claiming the election is fraudulent based on no evidence but that doesn't matter. Eventually after Trump has it all set up the house reconvenes and picks Trump as president because GOP has the most delegations and the vote was "fraudulent".

You see, all that really needed to happen is for them to create enough disruption for Trump and his allies to find a way to set aside the vote and let the house pick based on number of delegations.
The brooks brothers riot basically did something similar. Created enough disruption to stop a recount.
