> do you think a 16 year veteran of the KGB - a warmonger with a lust for the Soviet Union - and a vendetta against the west for brining it down, with total control over an enemy state is more likely to or not to be conducting destabilization campaigns in enemy states?

I'm sure it was the KGB behind the thousands small amount donations from verifiable United States and Canadian citizens.

The Spetnaz are probably behind the bouncy castle and hot tub the protester brought! Look at these dangerous criminals! [0] [1]

> Somehow, these private schools offer better education for less money than that.

They don't have as many "problem" kids who get one-on-one dedicated personnel, self-contained classrooms with two staff just for ten kids, et c. Nor do their regular classroom teachers have to put up with as much disruption, both because there's less to begin with and because they can kick kids out much more easily than public schools can.

And even "private schools" is too broad a category. Most private schools are no better, or even worse, than nearby public schools. Often this is because their appeal is religious, first, over education. However, many of the secular or more gently-religious ones that look better on paper may actually deliver worse education, but look superior purely due to selection bias—this can be revealed if their students move to public schools. They don't always come in and breeze through because they were ahead (to be clear, that does sometimes happen if the school was good!), instead they may be badly behind, despite having had good grades at their expensive private school.
If something even slightly threatens the capitalist dogma, it has to be reduced to a performative half measure. From healthcare, to housing, transportation... etc.
Datacenter speeds were a different part of the graph.

I thought about this some more and it might be referring to WiFi speeds. Those have been steadily increasing over time with the transition from 802.11b networks of old to modern WiFi 6. Of course WiFi only became a thing in the very late 90s/early 2000s.
yes! I went through this a few years back. My god, what a pain in the ass. According to MDN, the TextMetrics API is fully supported by all modern browsers. Chrome added the necessary height support in version 87 it looks like. But the entire API is still marked as experimental. Maybe them moving Google Docs to canvas helped that out.

Chrome also introduced the Local Font Access API. Which sounds like a privacy nightmare. You can get access to the font's actual byte data and render it yourself, bypassing the browser entirely. Sounds insane to me. Imagine trying to beat your browser or OS at font rendering, but doing it in JavaScript. I guess Adobe or Figma have deep enough pockets to try though.
Don't people have anything better to do? Why can people not just have the browser block stuff if they don't want to be tracked?

There's still people trying to puch encryption backdoors. Most devices are unrepairable and nobody is trying to fix that. We all depend on the internet and it could all disappear overnight if politics went bad, and we have no mesh or decentralized solutions other that terribly performing crypto promotions that nobody seems to have any interest in.

The governments almost everywhere still use Windows...

Tracking should be solved in the browser. Cookie laws won't help you that much if there's some tyrannical government, because... why would they protect you from... themselves?

It might be good in the long run, but I also worry about how it will affect low income people. Right now the business model is selling your data. Will I still have a Google assistant in 10 years? Why would they keep running it if they can't use it to sell data?

Why don't they focus on building more private alternatives first before fighting what's there, like with a FOSS grants program to develop a whole parallel ecosystem, so they can just let the spyware fade by itself?

> prepend my resume with a table containing the job requirements vs. my experience

That's an interesting approach. But what I think gets somewhat lost in this, and why I don't quite think a job description serves as that set of questions, is that there's so much more color and character (culture?) that can come through if the questions are good.

For example, a bad question, or something that should satisfied by the JD and résumé, would be "Do you have experience doing X?" If that's important, just say so. A better question might be "Why are you interested in building X for Y industry?"

I think résumés and job descriptions as they're currently written do an okay job of checking off raw qualifications. What's missing is clarity and direction for the less quantifiable bits. Done right, it could be like a low-pressure, no-expectations first interview in lieu of a crap email that's tedious to write, tedious to read, and likely only helps a hirer understand whether the applicant can write a good cover letter.

What's a good alternative in the US? I've been wanting to get into electronics and microcontrollers as a hobby. I have a old Arduino Uno that I got for free from some conference but I have none of the other stuff I would need to actually make something. I thought about getting a Raspberry since I found the Arduino to have very little RAM.

It's probably a bad idea to authenticate on a public machine to begin with. How can you possibly know what that machine might do with your account once you log in?

But let's say you want to do it anyway. There is no need to memorize or type the entire key; a site-specific private/public keypair can be derived from a memorized master password and the domain name (for uniqueness) via a KDF. The site never needs to see the master password, so in the event of a breach all your other logins remain secure, and there are no key files to synchronize, just a single password for access to all your accounts.

You do need to trust that the PC you're using to log in is secure, though, since it has access to the master password; I'm not sure how you would get around that without involving some other trusted piece of hardware, and if you have that you could just use it to access the site instead.
I didn't mean to imply that there'd never been any kind of "container escape" vuln before userns creation was opened, just the "create userns, escape with magic privs" kind was new and largely because of that change.

(I do think the change will be a net good in the long run, because rootless docker is probably a net improvement, but I think maybe it would have also been a good opportunity to reconsider how they inherit these global capabilities)
Even NIST has stopped recommending password rotation, so it’s irksome that there are still organisations that require it.
Yes. By a lot.

And of course when the talk of violence comes up in regards to protest, it's important to recognize that in many cases that violence is instigated by agents provocateur in order to delegitimize said protest.

Given the confusion the NOTAM created and thus resulting in this discussion one could argue that it might make sense to email the FAA and kindly ask them to reword the NOTAM. They could even join in on the discussion here.
> Last summer, for example, could have been the reopening, and we'd have better data and "science" to support it.

Things trended well last summer, but 1) everybody expects a lull in warm weather and 2) vaccination numbers were still low. It was reasonable at the time to hold onto precautions hoping the unvaccinated people would come around before fall. And good thing too, because delta proved to be a real pickle before being displaced by omicron.

At some point, it becomes obvious that a large number of people just won't bother getting vaccinated, and you can't realistically keep asking the entire country to go out of their way to protect the people who won't protect themselves.

We'll see another wave in the fall, either omicron or some new variant, and hopefully our vaccines will stay ahead of it.
I’m pretty sure that’s just a tongue in cheek joke
If you re-read your own post, but this time think about the Jan 6th violence at the Capital or the 2014 Bundy standoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundy_standoff) do you feel the same?

The "voice of the unheard" argument is a nice rationalization when we sympathize and agree with the violent actors, but, at least for me, it doesn't seem to resonate much when I don't. I can listen to the Jan 6 people say the election was fraudulent or I can listen to Bundy say he should be able to graze his cattle on public land for free... but after listening to their plight I still disagree and I still hold them responsible for their violent actions.

Personally, I'd rather we accept that large groups shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of a few affiliated people, while holding individuals responsible for their own actions.
Heads of State as individuals are not any stronger, smarter or better than the rest of us. They become stronger and more powerful because of their support system. If you participate in a system, you are propping it up to at least some degree.

Your philosophy sounds like a dictator’s sweet spot. Lie, cheat, steal, intimidate, coerce, punish, etc. as much as possible, but not to the point where the people want to do anything about it. Make them feel disconnected, powerless and dependent on you. Present yourself as their protector, their savior, the only one between you and a world that wants to destroy the things important to them: their family, their job, their culture, etc.

So yeah no one citizen is directly responsible for their leader’s actions, but we’re all responsible to some extent for our country’s actions if we’re not resisting them effectively.

You don’t always have to kill to resist. Some people start an underground newspaper. Others collaborate with foreign governments. Others practice civil disobedience. Others flee the country. Others make art and comedy that helps turn popular sentiment. Others practice economic boycotts. There are lots of ways to resist if you’re willing.

But you can’t be neutral on a moving train.

Semantic versioning serves a purpose - it makes it possible to automatically update dependencies to the latest compatible version without breaking code.

If you don't need automatic updates, then any kind of versioning is fine. Hell, you could get away with just using a single incrementing integer. v1, v2, v3, ..., v225883, etc.

LanzaTech, a competitor in this space, just made a big announcement that they've had excellent results with a scaled up bioreactor that "eats" co2 and makes acetone or isopropanol. They claim a 120L bioreactor (compared to the 1.5L mentioned here) and high yield, both of which they say is an indication they are ready for large scale.

A regularly scheduled commercial flight on which a passenger happens to be a Russian citizen is not being operated for the benefit of that person. A chartered private jet on the other hand would be.

The point of this is to prevent those who would normally fly a personal private jet from just chartering one from an owner elsewhere in the world, or simply continuing to use their personal jet that is legally registered to a charter provider or offshore shell company.
Yeah, I had a great real estate agent in Portland who really encouraged me to get a payment I could afford long-term. Bizarrely inflation might be good for me: if my pay keeps increasing by 5-10% every year the relative size of my mortgage and the payment will shrink
There is a ton of entitlement nowadays, that's for sure.

One should be grateful to those who do release their hard work to the public domain or under a FOSS license, rather than being resentful toward those who don't.

People absolutely deserve to be compensated for their work, if they so choose, and they are absolutely permitted to release their work under any license they want.
With NATO unable to intervene militarily due to the threat of nuclear war, it initially looked like Ukraine was on its own. Once again, the Russian bear would do as it wills.

However, coordinated sanctions backed by the crucial will to take an economic hit if necessary have made it possible that, if it the bear cannot be fought, it might instead be fenced in and driven back with starvation.

Germany is still importing Russian oil, but less of it. Do they and the EU have the will and the coordination to turn off Russia's last pipelines of money for munitions?

If the West can tame the bear without fighting it, that will be a huge win for Western diplomacy. It will prove that the post WWII world order can do what it was designed to do. It will prove that its possible to tamp down the aggression of bad actors without threatening the world with nuclear war.

If the West fails in this and either lets Ukraine fall or decides to roll the dice and intervene militarily, then the future security of the world is going to take a big hit. The bear must be tamed, but without war.

If you're in Germany, tell your government to ban Russian oil. This will hurt Germany, but could be the key difference that keeps nuclear conflict off the table.

Fuzzy logic was pretty closely tied to Neural Networks at one point (80s to early 90s?) in terms of which researchers talked about them and even just which books info about them was located in. I think dedicated analog fuzzy logic chips were, as you say, steamrolled by Moore's Law.

(My zorojushi rice cooker still mentions fuzzy logic, but they must be just implementing the fuzzy "transfer function" with an mcu at this point, right?)
I've been wondering how the EV adoption will play out in Canada. For example, the city I live in with a population of 162k had a record all time low of -48.3 C, and average lows in January of −17.9C, and 4 of months of the year have average lows below -10C.
This looks great. It reminds me very much of the old vt100 font except that obviously without visible pixelation and gaps. Nice job.

Ok so let's say we take the best possible actions to fix "the systems" that are the cause of illegal and violent activity.

What do we do in the meantime with the illegal and violent activity? Ask the police not to take actions to predict it or otherwise manage it?

Your proposal creates a model where there are now two problems. It sounds like you're saying only one should be allowed to be worked on.
It's "inspired" the dbt transformation part by using the same models and logic/part of code of generating them. We, for example, had a funny thing of computing metrics in 4 threads via multiple dbt models, and this is also done in elementary in a very similar way :)

The lineage part is independent (re_data uses lineage from dbt), so I haven't looked into that much.
I think that something similar happens in HN. Pro-Ukraine comments often gets downvoted quite a lot. It makes no sense to have so much pro-Russian voices here. It doesn't fit with the experience that the western world is clearly against this invasion.
What I read here is that except Tesla, Audi and Jaguar, all vehicle manufacturers use badly designed batteries. For Tesla, temperature is only a slight problem for model S and it is because it is by far the oldest model. Newer models (X, Y, 3) do not have a temperature dependent-range. It speaks of the quality of lithium ion batteries in these vehicles. While German manufacturers and other US brands have a long way ahead until their vehicles can be deemed reliable. I do not own a car but if I did and it had to be electric I would buy a Tesla. Unless I lived in the hottest country on earth where Hyundai's batteries, funny but true, have 10% extra mileage for free ;)

Have you considered, as an able-bodied young man, doing the honorable thing and "cleaning up" your country?

Young American patriots did the same back in 1776. Maybe it’s time for your people and country to enter the modern era.
European politics is a textbook example of the Shock Doctrine [1]: they will not do anything unless they're forced to do so. Which unfortunately often means too little, too late.

In the intro to this video he mentions analogue computers predicting tides. His video before this one[1] goes into detail on that, and it was incredible.

In the 1800s, Lord Kelvin spent years working on tidal rise and fall patterns, applying Fourier Transforms to break them down into ten individual sine waves, then combining those sine waves back together to predict future tides. And built analog computers to do all the involved integration, multiplying and summing. It's a part of the history of computing I'd never heard of, despite hearing quite a lot about the dawn of electro-mechanical computers in the early 1900s.

None of what you are describing makes sense.

If the Ukrainians can push Russians back why wouldn’t they do the same everywhere? Crossing the border becomes an act of aggression, only Russia has acted aggressively here. Everyone else is trying to avoid conflict.

If Russia detonates a nuke in Europe the entire country will be obliterated immediately.

The difference is that people warm up their car for comfort, not necessity. At sub-zero temperatures a modern gasoline-burning car[1] doesn't need to warm up for more than a few seconds, at least once it is properly started. The only practical reason to let them warm up before moving is to get some heat into the passenger compartment.

I don't understand this point of view at all. Parents aren't expected to do homework. Furthermore, I consider it to be fundamentally the responsibility of parents and guardians to educate their children. The outsourcing goes in the opposite direction. If that education is insufficient, the ultimate responsibility lies with the parents, not the school. Maybe the parent can engage with the school to improve the situation, but that's not always a given.
You are never going to figure out that the drop rate for rare cards go up by 1% every time a non rare is rolled from a base chance of -5% yet this is a critical information for pathing choice. It doesn’t matter at ascension 1 or 2 because they are easy (I have a 100% win rate at both and I am in no way a good player) but it gets critical later on. Same thing with some of the weirdest monster loops. The fact that the first three encounters of a floor are drawn from an easier pool and you should therefore aim for a fourth floor elite is never made clear. The game is full of information you will be hard pressed to figure out just by playing repeatedly. The fun of the game is making smart decision to neuter it’s randomness. The ramp up to reach this point is far too long. The sole reason I played hundreds of hour of this game is because I watched a stream of it semi-randomly. In my opinion that’s a flaw.
Me too. This game definitely did not come naturally to me. I could only brute-force it and backtrack.
Good call. A lot of red flags in here, including one I haven't seen in the other comments: the relationship with the brother. If you're both technical, you have more seniority than him but he has more shares and co-founder status? You're in for recurring headaches about who owns the tech, and you'd always be in the minority.
A more interesting example would be From software issuing a “moonlight sword” nft (maybe for an achievement like 100% elden ring) and various indie devs creating souls-like games choosing to honor it within their game.

Does this in essence similar to the aws deeque project but fancier and more inclusive of edge cases, common scenarios? (https://github.com/awslabs/deequ)
unless you do this in the left lane or something, it probably doesn't change throughput that much or at all. A major cause of traffic jams is cascades of braking, so leaving a safe distance allows for coasting instead of overreacting to brake lights, and prevents a traffic jam. You can get higher capacity temporarily, but eventually by reducing distance, you just cause a jam that destroys throughput.
Well, the war is merely a week old. The changes that happened aince are profound. And the EU did deliver thousands of AA and Anti-tank missiles. Sure, loads of those are basically Cold War surplus. But deliver they did, figuring out deliveries of weapons that cannot be packed on a truck is different, just look at the length the US had to ge before lend lease was passed to get planes cross the Canadian border.

I don't think I can remember such a unified Europe in my adult life.

EDIT: NATO dod sends tons of help before, mostly money. It's fair to assume that money wasn't spend on new smartphones for everyone.
Just checked out your startup and it looks interesting. I glanced through the different brands but didn't see anything related to public schools. Are you guys doing anything on that front? In your opinion, what are the challenges to more widespread adoption of Montessori in the US.
