>> Is there strong evidence that he was "being groomed for a coup by the US", or anything to support that kind of conclusion beyond speculation and innuendo?

> Yes, the strong evidence is an ongoing 70-year-old trend of US trained military leaders plotting coups.

That is not strong evidence; that is speculation. Honestly, speculation turning into "evidence" is a hallmark of conspiracy-theory style thinking.

> The increased propensity of coups cannot be explained by increased competence leading to more success.

Then perhaps the factor is increased confidence, not increased competence.
I contend that is unfair to levy a societal benefit solely on customers of taxis during the hours at which taxis would be available anyway without government mandates.

I would even go so far as to say if the government is mandating something, then the costs should be distributed amongst that government’s tax base (can be progressively distributed, but across the whole tax base nonetheless).
> one being that what doctors find might have never developed far enough to cause harm and so the treatment might actually be more harmful.

This is not a reason to not screen regularly. If treating very early is the problem then you should still aim to detect it early and then closely monitor it until you have enough information to decide whether to act or not. There are many people that will simply not go in for testing until there is a major problem if you advise against regular testing. A close family member of mine just passed away recently because he didn't go in for regular testing and they caught the cancer way too late.
Algolia limits search results to 100 pages. The youtube.com results started at 99.

So the list was cut very short.
Having come across them in Japan many times, they can get as big as 10 cm across. Slightly less than a hand, but still extremely distressing when you run face-first into one.
In my case, the big advantage is the automatic insertion of resamplers between different clock domains, meaning you can connect anything to anything. Pulseaudio tries really hard to make sure there is only one clock driving any connection graph, so that's why there's no arbitrary connection support without loading things like module-loopback that add the resampling themselves.

Another thing that helps is that in some ways PipeWire is less featureful than PA. For example, it limits the max audio buffer size to ~180ms which means it doesn't have to implement rewinds, one of the buggier features of PA (with the downside that power consumption can't ever be quite as low as PA).
> Video is of course not necessary, just sufficient.

It should be so, but that means writing different materials, one for the actual presentation, and one for everyone who couldn't be there. It would be better to have the video.

Mind you, for accessibility and general user-friendliness, you want both. But audio/video is a great help because there will be things that the off-line materials miss.

> It would be preferable if more presentation media had a “front of card/back of card”

Yes. PowerPoint and the like generally have a public / presenter distinction, but we want three distinctions: online / off-line / presenter.
I do work on all levels, that's the nature of working independently on large projects. If all the work you have is below my level, though, then clearly I'm not a good fit for the role and the role is also not a good fit for me.
I noticed something along these lines when designing pages on a website that I'm working on.

Each page is the answer to a question. If you don't define the question well, it's difficult to know what that page should show.
Show HN: I wrote a good React book / website
Pre-covid, I was traveling full time to teach ReactJS to corporate clients. My students (mostly developers at banks and insurance companies) would ask me 'What's a good React book?' and I would struggle to recommend something, knowing that all the books sucked or were really out of date. When all my face-to-face training work dried up and I really didn't want to do online training, I magically got a contract to write a book.

I started by reading all of the best-selling books on React, and, yeah, they were all really out of date, incomplete, or just wrong.

As I started writing what I hoped would be a really good React book, I also wanted the website to be something useful and a notch above a typical book website. So, I tried to have working examples of the code listings on the site and to organize them in a way that would make them useful for when I started teaching again, or for anyone who doesn't want to buy a book and just wants to see how things are done.

The book just came out today! The website isn't perfect or done, but here it is: https://reactjsfoundations.com .

How'd I do?
The most salient difference, in my opinion, is that Amazon stood in front of Congress and lied about it.

If they instead told Congress that this is a long established retail practice, I would be more sympathetic to that argument.

Keep in mind that the author is not neutral here: Since he's expressed his position against trans people, and by doing that parted ways with Danielle Foré before (who previously identified as Daniel Foré and participated in his youtube videos), and also you can see that it refuses to use the actual name for Danielle; it's not surprising that he wants to reach a conclusion against her.

Yes, but Fortnite pushes this to the absolute extreme. It's one thing to visit a store with thousands of products where there's a discount on some of the items and a few limited-time offers. It's a very different thing to visit another store which has thousands of products but only makes eight of them available for sale each day, always as a limited-time offer, with no information about the rest of the catalogue.
You might want to look into 'bug grabbers'. We have one and it really does work as advertised. We use it regularly on large spiders, stink bugs, and occasional wasps.
I prefer to run Ubuntu machines and at least in terms of provisioning a new secure server I built an Ansible playbook I called 'ANU' (as in A New Ubuntu). I'd expand to other distros, but then I'd have to change the name!

https://github.com/MitchellCash/ansible-anu

It is based on the DevSec OS/SSH hardening playbooks, but I lean closer towards ease-of-use over security where I think it makes sense. For example, I disable forced password rotation and I keep the default umask value of '022' instead of the more secure '027'.

When I come across something the upstream playbooks change that "gets in my way", I will disable it if the security trade off makes sense for me. I'm not running highly sensitive systems, so these trade-offs make sense for me, and maybe they will for you as well!

In terms of ongoing security upkeep, I run the usual `apt update && apt dist-upgrade` when I can, but I’ll be keeping my eye on this thread for additional advice.
The article basically explains how Americans that have nothing to do with Russia are getting caught in the race to destroy or shut down anything perceived as russian.

If you don't delete historic data when calculating outliers, you can avoid that problem. Or using a dozen other methods. You're describing an extreme strawman of an algorithm.
Theoretical max upload is always just below the other side's max download.
The Internet — both the network backbone and the many websites that operate on the Internet — is mostly operated for profit, and running it isn't free. Collecting payment from Russian sources right now is dodgy; payment providers are unlikely to help, banks are sanctioned, and the risk of not getting paid is high. Moscow currency exchanges have been shut down, and we see the government decree that bonds denominated in foreign currencies will be paid in rubles. Certain foreign entities are seeing their property and businesses in Russia nationalized (as a kind of retaliation for ceasing business).

This environment of elevated risk is ample reason for any international business to avoid business with Russian nationals, other Russian entities, and anything to do with Russia, generally, at this time. It is unfortunate that Russian citizens may see less of the outside world as a consequence of these high level sanctions and of this politically risky situation. It is not the responsibility of these operators to remedy that.
Presenter notes though are intended to help the presenter, and their form is not great for users who missed the presentation. As well, the presenter often does need presenter notes that are terse and not suitable for the public. We need slides that are shown at the presentation, slides not shown at the presentation but which are public, and presenter notes.

Difference is that on a sports team, you are under contract to be a player and there's not really any chance to just be promoted to being a coach.

If you have a high performing dev who wants to be a team lead and you hire someone else for that role, you risk demoralizing them and causing them to look elsewhere.

Morale is important. Promotions, real promotions with more responsibility, are important
But what about the phone number?
It's still typically a massive change in quality of life. The left ventricle is what feeds your entire body blood; the right ventricle only feeds the lungs. When the left ventricle fails, blood backs up and starts overflowing into the lung space in addition to the rest of your body slowly suffocating. It's exceptionally unpleasant.

The right ventricle is usually in much better shape so an LVAD can be almost like having a functioning transplant, except that there's a big wire going out of your chest/neck (which is a constant infection risk and can't really get wet) and you're now battery-powered.

Any kind of heart transplant comes with huge problems, even besides the immunosupressants etc. The nerves don't reconnect, so the heart doesn't respond to commands to speed up. It makes any kind of exertion difficult and unpleasant. Diet is critical, clots are a constant fear, etc. By the time you get a transplant you've usually spent a while with insufficient bloodflow, and your organs have been slowly dying.

It's nothing short of incredible that people can get 20+ years out of transplants. The deck is stacked against us hard.
Well, we certainly do set up people for [heart] failure in our culture. Standard American diet is atrocious and I often day-dream about what it might take to transition to a culture around healthy, whole foods.

It's hard to imagine. And looking at the westernizing diet of the rest of the world, maybe that's a ship that never sails back. Maybe tech breakthroughs are the only hope we have if major cultural reform around health and food never arrives.
Nice, I like that!

> enjoy slightly/moderately less profits than they could maximally get in exchange for a safer and better society

This is an enormous assumption (frequently wrong), and precisely why the costs of a government mandate should not be implicitly laid on a select population.

It actually results in attempts to cheat and incentivize corruption. For example, NYC had or has a problem with cabs not taking people to poorer neighborhoods. The government can mandate it all day long, but they did not stop cab drivers from discriminating. The correct solution in this case, would be to pay the cab drivers the market price for going to the poorer neighborhoods.

The payment obviously would have to come from the government, either given directly to the poorer person or can be given directly to the cab driver. But either way the incentivizes would be properly aligned, increasing supply of cab drivers willing to drive to the poorer neighborhoods.

Where this falls apart is that it requires increase in government spending, meaning increase in taxes for rich people. And obviously, they are going to oppose this wealth transfer. It is much easier and cheaper to simply require cab drivers to go to poorer neighborhoods under threat of fines or whatnot, and sit back and let the status quo continue.
>"trust the science" means "trust the science based on best evidence available right now."

That's an easier ask when we have reason to trust the CDC, Dr. Fauci etc. But when they embrace the concept of "the noble lie", that will obviously lead to people not trusting them.

This article is reminiscent of a favorite book from 2005: The Plausibility of Life[0], though the book focuses on the generative ability of evolution to create novelty, and this article focuses more on the resilience of organisms in coping with change, including damage.

Of course, these can't be neatly disentangled, and both the book and this article make the point that organism resilience is what provides the multi-generational "breathing room" for evolution to do its thing.

Is this sandbox intended as a security feature?

According to the Redis documentation [1], "The sandbox attempts to prevent accidental misuse [...] Scripts should never [...] attempt to perform any other system call other than those supported by the API".

(Also "reduce potential threats", but that doesn't sound like the primary purpose or a particularly strong claim of security.)

I read the link and while I learned more about Tor, the article seems to describe how to secure Tor traffic that is forwarded to regular Internet hosts, for example if someone using a Tor client visited ycombinator.com. My question is, if you use a Tor client to visit twitterhpgjerufcvrmzerg2novpipy42rk3anvb5b7np4zggm4rwaqd.onion, why is part of the route through regular Internet hosts (afaict) and what are the implications of that? The article shows what I am describing in this screenshot; the blacked out parts next to "Portugal", "Germany", and "United States" are IP addresses:

https://www.jamieweb.net/blog/forwarding-tor-hidden-services...

(Also, my original post had it backward: the traffic goes through regular Internet hosts and then through Tor relays, not vice versa)

Again, maybe I am just missing the implications of what you are saying.

This is so incredibly sad. At this point in my life, I empathize with the involuntary donor quite a bit. While the author might not understand his position not wanting her to have any contact with him or his family, I certainly do.

It's clear this doctor has a pattern of deceptive behavior beyond merely his practice. It's also clear that if one doctor does it, someone else has or will. I wonder how the medical board can better filter out chronic deceivers or at least better regulate it.
> Lichess will not remove Russian or Belarusian flags from user profiles. Russia and Belarus exist as countries, and removing their flag does not change that. There are also many Russians and Belarusians who disagree with the war and are protesting it, whose bravery we respect, but by nationality still identify as Russian and Belarusian.

In these days I think deliberately displaying the Russian flag on one's profile has to be interpreted as supporting Russia's government.
Regarding "Russia and Belarus exist as countries, and removing their flag does not change that" - no one wants to remove Russia nor Belarus as countries but Russia wants to do so with Ukraine with the help of Belarus.
I also would have wished for Lichess to communicate their stance more quickly.
It's only one self that can determine if one self is in balance or not. Just like we can lie to ourselves telling "everything is alright" while in truth it's not really the case.

But yes, as adults we can determine for ourselves. But it's a poor character trait not to be responsible for how you feel.

Google is kind of like "email verification" brought forward since they own 65% of the email market and even more of the browser market.

We also "verify" and authenticate, but that is where we diverge. We also help websites manage "profiles" and "accounts" and that data can be made available for customization and personalization. From what a user sees to how they interact with a site or app.

Finally, we give the user the ability to retroactively "revoke consent" to their data. When they turn it off, the site and app no longer have access to it.

I disagree and this is an assumption on your part, not a forgone conclusion.
The ACM Flight Simulator
Thank you for the kind words! Just to clarify, the core technology here is free and open source, anyone can use it right now for free. We do have commercialization plans in addition - we may explore things like additional paid features for enterprise use or paid tiers of extra support.

Regarding LSTMs, yes. We're aiming to support all machine learning model architectures: do you have any particular models you're interested in that we should be prototyping with?

For CGRAs, we don't have any immediate plans to explicitly support them. What kind of use case do you have in mind? Generally, any platform that can implement a blob of generated RTL should be something we can work with quite easily.

>I also worry that while the West seems to be in complete agreement that harsh punishment on Russia is fair, it may or may not be the case in the future that such punishment is reserved to those who "deserve" it.

Nor is it immediately clear that this strategy is actually a wise one when you consider all other geopolitical variables in play. Setting the conditions for a Russo-Sino alliance in the Pacific Theater is something that should give everyone pause given CCP's increasing bellicosity regarding the Taiwan question. "They deserve it" is not really a guiding principle for policy grounded in anything other than whatever peculiar moral constraints elites set for themselves.
I got the impression that the two main things holding back Japan economically were overwork and a social signaling of "loyalty" arms race. Both are divorced from actual productivity efficiency and effectively make a minor martyr culture where the emphasis is more on sacrifice than results. I cannot speak to actual conditions, only observed tropes which may be outdated. Even before COVID-19 forced changes.

Regardless limits to extreme hours and more robust enforcement to better avoid off the book hours would probably be more effective there.
Isn't that something that you could sue for?
