> If this is true, surely the right to not support people who's views you disagree with is just as necessary?

Totally agree, but I think one of the nuances here is that what "support" means can be pretty narrow or very broad.

For example, if you don't like someone's message and they're speaking at your college, you can show your disapproval by choosing a point on a spectrum of refusals. You can start light by going to hear them speak but refusing to agree with them, and get a little more intense by attending and listening and then rebutting their arguments (i.e. refusing to approve the message). Sliding further along the scale, you might refuse to go to the talk at all. Further, you might refuse to attend the college that allows them to speak. Further, you might refuse to use any social media that allows them to post. And so on.

The further you go on that spectrum, the more your actions cause other people not to be able to support the speaker (or even hear them without supporting them), even if they want to. Not attending the speech yourself may cause the speaker not to be invited back if there is low enough attendance, which is just about the most minor form of that. Further along the spectrum, refusing to use social media that gives them a platform could get them banned if enough people do it, which is a more intense form of denying others access.

That's really long-winded but I hope my point is clear. I think "cancel culture" isn't so much about retaining the individual's choice to not support something, but rather denying that choice to other people. And it's not even about supporting really; the ACLU that defended Nazis because they realized that if Nazis' rights can be taken away then so can any minorities' be taken away might not exist any more. Certainly they didn't support Nazism, but they felt that they didn't have to in order to defend them in a court of law.

I think someone once said something like "it's the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without accepting it" and I feel like at a certain level you have to trust people to do that if you want to live in a democracy. My interpretation of opponents of cancel culture is that they don't want other people to keep them from entertaining ideas just because accepting them would be bad. You have to be able to entertain an idea to destroy it as well. The more you know about racist beliefs, for example, the more easily they're destroyed. The less you know, the more appealing they are. Best to bring them out in the light and let them be destroyed by the truth (would be their argument I believe).

I guess it's a difference in world view. Some think you can put people on the right track by focusing on providing them with the right information, and others think you can put them on the right track by keeping them from harmful information. The latter might be the way you can instruct a child, but for adults, the former is the only way it can work healthily (they would say).

Not sure whether any of that makes any sense, I could be completely wrong, would like to hear your opinion.

There are some hints that they are redesigning some server processors to double core count but that may not be visible for 2-3 years. Also keep in mind that Intel has 75% server market share and is only losing ~5 points per year.
I guess this means dimensionality reduction for example with the use of a convolutional autoencoder.
Agh yeah that is my dream monitor as well. There are some 5k2k ultrawides that get close but the reviews aren't positive :(
When arguing about Critical Race Theory it's useful to keep in mind this quote from the person (Christopher Rufo) who brought the term to mainstream prominence over the past year or so:

“We have successfully frozen their brand ‘critical race theory’ into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all of the various cultural insanities under that brand category."

The whole purpose of this phrase as used by the Bari Weiss types is to be non-specific, hard to pin down, to mean different things to different people. In other words, to make productive conversation or debate impossible.
Slashdot flashbacks from 2001! Well played. Well played.

WSL. but.... if you don't need networking, it's pretty decent. you can even get an x server and run XTerm and get VT320 emulation.
Yes.

Look, languages are moving away from permitting constructs like "if (x = 1)" because it's difficult to distinguish from "if (x == 1)". Adding "if (x === 1)" into the mix is arguably a step backwards in terms of clarity.
Look into Ampere they have 256 core and 160 core dual socket systems for decent prices https://store.avantek.co.uk/ampere.html .

You get to collect a lot more data. Both Reddit and Medium don't earn much from most users directly, so they supplement income by selling data about it's users.
Super! Thanks everyone for your answers. A lot of things to explore!
Well...my days of thinking we're not quite out of the uncanny valley...are certainly coming to a middle.

Granted, the gliding across an unwalkable moving floor gear contraption didn't help avoid the perception that I was looking at an automaton.
Nothing and that wasn't the goal, current owners of the NFT can also develop bots for when the merchandise is released for purchase. It just limits the size of the participant pool, how many bots are being competed against and shows what those bot owners would be willing to pay for access because of what they think they can resell the merchandise for.

Adidas previously never had exposure to the secondary market of its goods, now it does and it also discovers the price at which people want to buy and sell at. Individuals can attempt to buy NFTs from the bot owner, the bot owner might have a price. If they do, the individual gets the NFT and can buy the merch. In all scenarios, Adidas makes some commission.
No. Intel worked out it needs to open its production capacity to other vendors. They will end up another ARM fab with a legacy x86-64 business strapped on the side. That's probably not a bad place to be really. I think x86-64 will fizzle out in about a decade.

I wonder what happens once this war is over. Will companies return. Or are they replaced by local or maybe even Chinese companies.

Sounds like you're fortunate enough to be in a country where you get to be shown a contractual agreement and are able to make a decision regarding data-sharing before proceeding (as long as you take the time to read the small print).
This is the core of it for me.

The base Raspberry Pi model is supposed to cost $35, because the Raspberry Pi Foundation has decided that offering a low cost SBC is important for the world.

Using a bot to buy up all inventory so you can resell it at $50 or $100 or whatever is unethical. You have provided no added value; you are just a parasite scalping others for your own enrichment.

If this is what a "free market" is, as many people here seem to think, then free markets are objectively bad for the commons.
Given the global shortage, it can be difficult to get machines right now. We're adding CPAP in a few months, and we're also offering CPAP alternatives to help people get care.
Speeding up the eye blinking would decrease the uncannyness significantly.
I worked for a large multi-national in London some time ago, and the commonly held consensus was that New Yorkers doing the exact same job were being paid slightly less than double. Benefits were largely the same. I think with even the higher cost of living in NY, the US does come out ahead.
Curious if this would work:

If you are in the US, try contacting google by every possible venue and keep a track / paper trail of your communications. If non of these methods work, then sue them in a small claims court. This is something for which you do not need a lawyer, and you can get up to $3000. They will probably take you seriously enough to try to solve it without going to court.

Glad to see mechanisms for the primary seller to accrue value from the secondary market.
Similar experience with one of my accounts and it seemed totally absurd that me giving them a phone number that has never been used for the account somehow verifies that I am the owner. It's clearly an attempt to extract more data from a desparate user.
> Two parties talking "past" each other is one of the most common sources of disagreement in my experience.

A prime and recent example of this is "defund the police". You could talk to 10 people at a protest and get 10 different answers on what that means, and that's among supporters. Any actual conversation on the topic has to start with "well what do you mean?". You would often hear a refrain of "nobody is talking about completely defunding the police." but there was plenty of actual support for that in just-outside-of-mainstream groups.

So many movements are united behind such vague slogans that they garner widespread support because everybody has a personal and reasonable (to them) interpretation of it's meaning.

"Cancel culture" just the next "Occupy Wallstreet", "Black Lives Matter", "Defund the Police", etc. It's a leaderless grassroots phenomenon with no stated objectives or goals.

I think people are much more concerned with finding a community to fight with rather than actually winning the fight.
Yeah, of course that's a problem, having a bigger platform gives you more political power.

This... isn't new. Money is the classic way to attain platform, and the US has repeatedly doubled down on the freedom to spend as much money as you want politically, as a core freedom.

Fox News is constantly broadcasting what I would classify as complete fabrications to their bigger platform, should the government be stepping in to stop that?

I agree these things are a problem, but that's the cost of free speech, the two choices are the government deciding who's speech is right, or individuals deciding who's speech is right.
If you want Photoshop then you either need Windows or macOS. I'm not sure if anything else (GNU/Linux) will work on it.
I worked at a shop that got to $8.5b acquisition running on centos, puppet, docker, consul and vault. Some bash, spit and glue tied it together pretty nicely.
The new block cluster shared memory and synchronisation stuff looks really really nice.
A handful of tech companies arguably have far more power to regulate speech than any government.
But OP isn't talking about newly-built plants. OP is doing what many pro-nuclear folks do, which is to posit a counterfactual history where we built dozens (hundreds?) of nuclear plants in the 70s. That would leave us with many, many obsolete nuclear plants reaching the end of their intended lifespan all at once over the last few years. (Nuclear plants were typically permitted to operate for 40 years, although may have successfully applied for extensions and continue to run today.)
I stay quasi-anonymous on here, but I worked at a company that bursted -- at the time -- to approx 1.5m requests per second. Average traffic was approx 400k rps.

It was run on naked boxes in many pops worldwide. We heavily used the jvm, which dramatically simplifies application distribution. Boxes were all netboot; they came up, grabbed the OS, and based on some pretty simple config figured out what jars to download and run.

We also costed out a move to aws, and it was somewhere between 5 and 6x as expensive as buying our own hardware.

Thousands of boxes worldwide managed with a team of two fulltime sysadmins plus two more primarily engaged in dev with sysadmin duties as-needed, plus remote hands services in the various datacenters.
I think it should continue. For a while I was leaning against it, but on reflection I realized that there is no obligation for me to listen to or engage with people that have abhorrent views. Rarely will doing so actually change their mind, or mine.

What corporations are allowed to do is one thing, but as an individual I've decided to take cancel culture to heart. When possible, I now just put anyone with awful views on my personal ban lists. Twitter and Reddit both allow this. I no longer see any of their posts and they don't see mine.

I'm far happier having done this an I don't think the world has lost anything by it. There are definitely issues I'm willing to engage on and discuss, but there are many that I am not. Hearing the same tired old propaganda talking points from people in certain camps is just poison to me.
I'm not missing that fact. I think that NFTs are a bad, customer hostile solution to that problem.
except oracle.
and pay wagons of staff to verify?
Google from the get go understood the rabbit hole of offering support to customers, and since most of their consumers don't pay, that's easy to make them accept there is no manual support.
I have no sympathy for Google, but it's always been that way, and, at least they did all they could to safety net people who can't remember their password by prompting to set an alternative/recovery address fairly regularly.
My point is that when someone says “the biggest differentiator between the students who scale up quickly and those who scale up a bit more slowly is their aptitude for memorization....” this is a mis-interpretation of the evidence that the “quicker-scaling” students remember facts they read more readily. What actually distinguishes these students is fluency in comprehending and associating material conveyed in writing/speech. Which may vary slightly based on inherent traits but comes down substantially to cumulative past practice listening/reading to complicated language. By high school students have more than a decade of practice, and between the most prepared and least prepared students there is probably something like 10x difference in amount and quality of past practice, most of it outside of school. Some students are barely reading the few assigned novels and textbooks while others are reading multiple (extra-curricular) difficult books per week on a variety of subjects and having extracurricular conversations where they construct and parse complicated arguments, etc. The latter group have a huge advantage.

Students’ skill at specifically remembering lists of atomized trivia (what people often mean when they say “aptitude for memorization”) is not as important, though this is also a trainable skill for anyone who really wants to do it.

Similarly, between the kids who play sports or do other physical activities all the time and have some amount of expert coaching and the kids who only play sports in PE class, there is probably something like a 10x difference in cumulative quantity/quality of past practice. Which ends up making it seem that some students are “athletic” and others aren’t.

And similarly for music, electronics, carpentry, abstract mathematics, cooking, shooter games, or whatever other skills you look at.

Shhh that's the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Peer reviewed studies using the scientific method is why we assume we are more logical than others. With that in question, we might have to admit we don't know a lot of things
There are a number of small units, the hose+mask will end up taking the majority of the space, which is annoying but not sure of an easy way around that. (Maybe short hoses?) Resmed airMini is pricy but very small, needs an external battery, Philips makes a portable unit that’s a bit larger and has an optional integrated battery. You’d likely need a solar charger for backpacking. Humidification is probably the biggest trick - there are in-line moisture exchangers that help a lot, but if you have dry mouth issues it’s hard to beat a water chamber. Suppose you could boil water on a camp stove for use as well.

Def recommend try to get a study if you can find/afford it. I have a mild case, but getting used to CPAP was still life changing. That said, I find sleeping on my side is enough to avoid most symptoms for a few nights, and if I’m camping I stick to that (there are tricks for preventing back sleeping if it’s an issue).
Your VOIP number can be resolved to your mobile number. Your cell provider has the link.

You withholding your caller ID only hides it from the receiving handset, it doesn't disguise it from the network.
I assume it's more data collection, stronger engagement, and less server load when using the app.
This completely leaves out that the tolerance for speech, even minor offenses, which used to be acceptable are now being weaponized to destroy each other in visceral, tribal fashion.

You can have an accountable society and cancel someone for crossing the line. That line used to be for things such as Pedophilia, encouraging violence, promoting rape-culture, etc. Truly terrible things.

I hope people will wake up or we'll end up with a worse place than ever.

> Never start coding (making a solution) unless you fully understand the problem.

If that were only possible.

For example, say you want to write a C compiler. You have a C Standard as a guide. Nobody fully understands it. And implementing the Standard is only a small part of implementing a C compiler.

Your implementation isn't going to survive first contact with a user, either.

P.S. Paul Mensonidas is the world's leading expert on the C preprocessor. That's a good indication that nobody else understands it :-)

Don't worry about it. Just start implementing the parts you do sort of understand, and keep iterating.
How do you manage quick iteration loops?
> The market is for the NFTs, not for the shoes themselves. It isn't clear to me how Adidas is able to separate demand for the shoes themselves from speculative interest in making money off of the NFT.

The real question is why assume that was a goal?

Adidas and many companies don't raise the MSRP specifically because they know they have a price sensitive audience and reputation. This gives them plausible deniability, the ability to sell an additional product and financial exposure to the volume in the secondary market anyway.
They should have started out more vaguely— I started reading it from the second page, and without Notgnihsaw I didn't have a clue.

Speech is far more free in the US today than in, say, the 1950s and 1960s.

But I would argue less free than, say, the 1990s.
For me, if I want to move quickly, there's just so many great example React + Firebase projects out there. It's so easy to get started, even if I would prefer to work with postgres over nosql. I could have just missed it in the docs or elsewhere, but I couldn't seem to find a really easy to follow todo or chat app or something like that. I created a database I think and then just had little idea how I'd tie it all together with my front-end. So I went back to firebase for an MVP.

> leave it up to manufacturers and consumers to determine how liability is structured in their private agreements, but make self-driving car insurance mandatory.

The free market's efficiency requires a balance of power and information. Similarly, in law, the validity of contracts depends on the relative position of the parties; the court will frown on a company that tries to enforce absurd contractual clauses on naive individuals.

A car manufacturer has incredible power and resources (including lawyers, actuaries, etc.) compared to an individual consumer buying a car. What will a consumer do, hire their own legal team to call the general counsel's office of Mercedes and renegotiate the agreement? It will cost more than the car. Have you ever done that with any agreement with a corporation?

We use our government to regulate where the market fails. Otherwise, we still have lead in gasoline, monopolies, etc.

> I assume any collision involving the self-driving systems would have an investigation to determine fault, much the same way they do already

agreed. specifically, I feel the manufacturer should design the system against some minimum level of maintenance and publish that. they would be liable for any mishaps that occur within design parameters. the driver/owner should be responsible for actually keeping the vehicle within that envelope. I don't feel that's an unreasonable burden.
Is "False." the new "Wrong."?

How to Make an Origami Masu Box
Right, the idea of the sticky bits is that you can execute a number of instructions before hitting a sync point, as compared with traditional condition flags or exceptions which have to potentially sync on every instruction. The hope is for that have less effect on performance. I don't know if it causes issues with modern FPU's. Are imprecise exceptions (like on some old machines) still a thing? I wonder if there is a way to record the exception info so its origin can be reported even if it is not noticed til later.

Yes. Why did they do all those crappy CG effects while showcasing photorealistic characters? Two people seated across a chessboard in a realistic room would have been more effective.
