A someone who continuously lives between Edinburgh and Glasgow, yer talking oot yer arse.

Edinburgh is one of those places where it's a "nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there" - i.e. it has some tourist spots - and is getting worse due to lack of infrastructure maintenance let alone building new infrastructure. Glasgow has been turned into a literal shithole. Both thanks to 15 years of a Nationalist Socialist administration hell-bent on nothing but breaking up the UK therefore cares nothing for the people it governs and is one of the most corrupt governments in Western civilisation.
If Debian didn’t want politics in their tech decisions, they should have focused their scope on tech decisions rather than politics.

Not that there’s anything wrong with an organization holding forth on “issues of the day,” per se. But there is an iron law, effective ever since GamerGate-style tactics of “collecting receipts” and cross-platform and offline hounding became normalized as righteous retribution rather than harassment and bullying: your organization can have at most two of (1) transparency, (2) candor; (3) broader social relevance.

How Ukraine’s Internet is still working despite Russian bombs and cyberattacks
It is frustrating. It's easy to villainize the producers and their lawyers. But on the other hand, it would be nice if consumers weren't so lazy and would instead stand up for themselves and fight back. But then that becomes hard if there isn't sufficient competition and choices in the market. At the end of the day, I think that the occurrence of consumers losing on actual lawsuits (much less even being involved in one) is sufficiently rare that it wouldn't justify the increased cost of goods if the risk were more balanced.

You didn't answer the question and in your example you assume there is enough information in the teacher's comments to fix the design, this was not stated in my example. The discussion wasn't about fairness either.
Last I read Telegram is on very good terms with the Russian government. I have already posted link to the source in this thread.
FDA authorizes fourth Pfizer Covid vaccine dose for people age 50 and older
I don’t know if I agree with this. My experience working for a federal judge made me much more confident in the criminal justice system. In the media we only see the situations where the justice system got something wrong—which is inevitable in a country of 330 million people. Looking behind the scenes made me understand that for every case where there is a conviction on shaky evidence, there are dozens of cases where a conviction or guilty plea is supported by a mountain of electronic evidence.

For example, my wife handled a murder trial where the government prosecutors not only had closed circuit video of the defendant shooting the victim, but of him getting in his car and driving home through town back to his house. They just cut from one closed circuit camera to the next and the next showing the entire journey.
Shouldnt i have the same concerns with software from the US? You dont really have to nationalize to force devs to push malicious code (looking at you Australia)
It seems pretty clear to me that this was nothing but a move to either get free representation or to generate outrage among his technical peers. Maybe a tweet "in the moment" because he just feels entitled, like Zoom owes him something. The Tweet has been deleted, if he really felt justified or in need of a lawyer, it'd still be up.
Empathy, also called compassion or karuna in Buddhism, is one of the most sublime mental states that exist. The trick is to learn how to experience compassion without also wounding yourself. This is what Buddhist practice teaches you how to do.
The problem with that is often times "codifying" things with government regulations ends with several orders of magnitude of unintended consequences that often do not improve the lives of the people you are targeting while at the same time making the lives of everyone that do not have the problem today worse by creating similar or other problems for them
"KT said fake EDRs don’t have to come from police departments based in the United States, and that some people in the community of those sending fake EDRs are hacking into police department emails by first compromising the agency’s website. From there, they can drop a backdoor “shell” on the server to secure permanent access, and then create new email accounts within the hacked organization."

This sounds extremely unlikely.

Maybe in 1999 someone would have hosted their mail server on the same server as their web site. But today?
Oh please. Like American corporations haven't been fighting off Russian cyber campaigns for years.

Why don't we just export control operating systems and the x86 and ARM architectures? Then Russia won't have any technology left to worry about, will they?
And now Russian hackers will retaliate. Do we really need this?
I think your might not understand the medical terminology. There is a distinct difference between curing an acute infectious disease versus putting a chronic condition into remission. In the majority of cases, cancer can't be cured either; it usually isn't possible to eliminate 100% of malignant cells so if the patient survives long enough then the same cancer will eventually return. While a low-carb diet can often put type-2 diabetes into remission, if the intervention is removed then the condition will return.

This is not a failure of the medical industry and no apology is needed.
The White House campaign to explain its Russia policy on social media did so via Chinese properties Zoom and TikTok. I don't think we can rely only on domestic production right now.

The latest school shooting in the US was fewer than 30 days ago: 1 dead, 2 injured. It hardly made the news. There was another 3 days before that. In February there were 3 shootings. In January, 7 shootings. That's just this year. Hardly any of the shootings on this list even made national news, let alone were media feeding frenzies:

When was Kasepersky ever considered a dirtbag? That company has written a lot of technically in-depth security reports over various threats for a long time.

>It'd be economically viable if what I pay in local/state versus federal taxes were flipped.

It really wouldn't. I don't think there is a mechanism for making the above infrastructure sustainable short of tearing it down.

wondering the same.
> Are you suggesting either something on the ballot is different, or that people would making a different vote if it was counted differently?

That's clearly true, in addition to the obvious fact that campaigning would change dramatically. The OP's point however was that we don't know the extent to which it's true.

An obvious example of people making a different vote would be in California - I know more than one Republican who either didn't vote or voted for a 3rd party 'statement' candidate for president because they knew that all of the electoral votes in CA were going to the Democrat anyway.

Undoubtedly the same thing happens with Democrats in TX or TN or wherever Republicans hold a huge majority and Electors are winner-take-all.
I don't consider synchronous programming as being legacy.

For many projects synchronous programming can work just fine, and it lowers complexity.

> We basically can't have a decent court system unless appealing to it is extremely rare.

This is a defeatist attitude, and one that allows bad actors to thrive. Landlord-Tenant law is a particularly relevant example here because most jurisdictions have substantial regulations that put substantial obligations and limitations on landlords -- far more than most other areas of contract law. However, many landlords can ignore these regulations because their tenants don't have access to courts to enforce them.

I would also argue that family law is an area that is a counter-example to your statement. In cases of divorce, especially with children involved, the courts are almost always involved, even when the parties come to an amicable separation agreement. You'll also note that the processes, personnel, and facilities of family court tend to be a lot more economical than a prototypical court of general jurisdiction. They stand as an example that if we want to make access to courts more widely available and economical, we can.

Are we wrong about Web3?
The first time I read about HTMX here on HN I didn't get it, thought it was pointless. Then it clicked, and I think it's awesome. Fits nicely with Django, super easy to understand and the docs are great.
But that's not the point of the article.
More pedantism. Well if you sell parts of your company to other people, then it's a gang bang. Multiple people fucking the employees.

Let's just stop here. It's pointless.
Not all public sector jobs pay poorly.

However, there is a dynamic where good performance by employee A is frowned upon by the majority of other employees because that will expose their mediocrity. It’s a complaint I’ve heard from a couple of people who’ve worked in the public sector.
I can't work out what problem this solves. Personally, I'm not a fan of SPAs, but there's still a middle ground between that and a more traditional full-page reload, server-side rendered approach. React, Elm, etc, should all allow for smaller parts of a page to be dynamic while the rest remains static.
Where the claims that meat is mind control or Soylent Green?
To some degree, but I think a lot of more objective fields like natural sciences and engineering like to exaggerate the "artiness" of their work because they don't want to come across as uncreative robots just as the more subjective subjects like to exaggerate the "science" of their fields (even often naming their field <name> science which is a bit like how communist dictatorships liked to call themselves "democratic republics").

Today they use the same crappy hosting company as in 1999, that does the same thing it's always done, just only slightly newer hardware. Especially on a municipal level, there still is not much of a standard when it comes to such things.
I think Flask here is just a placeholder for "a simple backend framework". I agree that Django probably ends up the simpler choice once you need the stuff you'll almost certainly need. But that would have spoiled the flavour of this tutorial.
Yeah, me being a backend guy didn’t think of the client side of things.
America elected Trump and then Congress knowingly rejected evidence that he colluded with Putin to defraud voters and steal the election. He then occupied that office for four years, while additional evidence continued to mount against the increasingly obviousness of Russian interference.

Not only did a sitting President betray people and killed millions with anti-masker/anti-vaccine rhetoric, he did so to aid a foreign country that is known for murdering political dissidents, and did so during WW2, during the Cold War, and the post-Soviet era that exists today; but also our Congress, most of those still occupying those seats today, aided and abetted him. What Trump and his Congress did is terrorism without being formally charged with it, and is hardly any different than the pre-Stalin era of Soviet Russia and the pre-Kristallnacht era of the Nazi occupation of Germany.

So, please, I'd like you to tell me why you think people shouldn't be seriously alarmed? You sound like all the deniers in the history books: "Oh, the Nazis wouldn't kill Jews and political dissidents", "Oh, Stalin wouldn't (also) kill Jews and political dissidents", "Oh, Chairman Mao wouldn't just starve tens of millions to gratify his own ego". People keep saying this, it keeps not being true.

History is a goddamned broken record.

Splitgate is annoying because some skins look red and blue and you can't tell what team they're on. I haven't played enough to find out how long it takes to get used to that. It's also a poor quality game and precisely the type of thing that comes to mind when I hear F2P (I realize Splitgate may have started out as a fun project more than a microtransaction cow from the outset). I quickly returned to Halo. I prefer playing games that actually feel like real products and are created by people who know what they're doing.
Code is nowhere near as dense as it can be in most languages - we make considerations for human readers by making languages verbose on purpose to a much greater extent than most math (of course there are exceptions like e.g. J and K and similar languages). Most math violates the intent of pretty much every coding standard there is in focusing overly on density over readability to someone not intimately familiar. On top of that, math very often omit a lot of detail in a way code can't, that requires a lot more effort from the reader. I get that it's intentional - the focus is on expressing what is different in terms of a shared context people familiar with the math already has, while in code only a few fringe languages tends to take this approach over favouring readability.

And yes, we need familiarity with formal, logical reasoning, but the primitives you need to be able to understand coding are really basic, and often easiest introduced by showing people code rather than giving it the mathematical treatment.

It's not necessarily math itself that is the issue, but mathematical notation and the way we teach it - there's a very stark divide, I've observed, between those who prefer those really terse notations that you must take time to decipher, and those who want notations that can be read like prose. For my part I'm firmly in the latter camp.

This is sort of a dodge, isn't it? The question wasn't, what rhetorical device are you employing? It's, do you truly believe the situation is as extreme as you imply? If the answer is "no", then there's an implied invitation to lay out what you actually believe. If the answer is "yes", there's an implied request to justify why you think that way.

Saying 'this is what we call hyperbole' seems to imply, 'my ideas stand so well on their own, I don't need to respond to your criticism; the problem is not with my ideas or how I've expressed them, it is with your inability to recognize a particular rhetorical device.' Which is both patronizing and wrong. Your use of hyperbole was recognized and is being interrogated.

You're under no obligation to respond to that challenge, no one here has a right to your time, but if you're going to, it would be more productive for everyone if you did so in good faith.
I have an easy time using cast iron but I do have a futuristic induction cooktop that measures temp either with a probe or a conductive thermometer.

I both agree with and disagree with your post- I agree that induction has not met its potential yet. If every induction range used the Control Freak's control systems, people would be abandoning gas in droves because it's better in every way: https://www.amazon.com/PolyScience-Temperature-Controlled-Co...

I disagree that it's specifically worse for cast iron, especially when you have a good device. The problem there is the quality of the cookware, cast iron works, and an aluminum or aluminum cored stainless steel work perfectly if they're well designed.
Windows has had "Microsoft Security Essentials" built-in for longer than I can remember (10+ years?). It's not a terrible thing and keeps out of your way and doesn't seem to bog your machine down.

MSE is really all I've used since binning AVG which turned into bloatware.

Just curious how a place like Liberia would be considered 'emerging'? Not to slam Liberia, but even most Liberians would readily admit that there is an enormous difference between Monrovia and Accra. It's just reality. I mean, Liberians are trying to get settled in Ghana, not the other way around.

“educational privilege”
I imagine that test preparation is far more accessible when you have well funded schools and parents who can cover any additional tutoring/preparation. For me the game changer was community college, it gave me a second chance at a price I could afford and with a clean slate I earned a 3.9 GPA and got into a top 10 engineering program.
> Google is a search engine that makes money by showing ads. It shouldn’t be surprising that there are multiple ads on search results.

Google grew to be a hugely profitable behemoth having a small number of easily distinguishable ads per search page. I don't think anyone is saying that they shouldn't be hosting ads; it's more the ever-decreasing quality of the product.

Every few months the number of ads goes up and they become harder to distinguish from content. Meanwhile, the quality of search goes down.

Google search now is a significantly worse experience than ten years ago. Despite a decade of engineering advancements and hardware improvements, they keep degrading their own service.

Google grew so big despite (or because of) the fact they didn't try to squeeze every last drop of profit out of their business. This generated a lot of goodwill which has now evaporated and gone into the negative.
Thank you!

We have domesticated wolves so much that we call them dogs now. So we could actually call dogs "disciplined wolves", yes?

Like a "wolf" behaves differently than a "discipline wolf", "empathy" will express differently than "disciplined empathy". It is inauthentic.

This was a pretty compelling argument to get rid of the current rigamarole of the college admissions process. Is the purpose to get an education or to audition for a reality show? Why are we making 17 year olds craft a narrative about their life and judging their worthiness based on that?

> But I do make sure that all of it fails gracefully to 'normal' when something interrupts HA.

This is why interest and trust don't have to go together. Sometimes the people who are most adventurous are simply the ones who are comfortable with a lower level of trust, because they can manage their risk.

I'm comfortable playing with new or niche technology because I'm able to keep it low stakes. My most tech-phobic family members, on the other hand, act like they have complete faith in the software they use even when they say they have zero faith. They don't have the savoir-faire to do things that limit their risk, like withholding sensitive data and backing up important data in different places, so they resent technology as chronically treacherous and agonize over whether they can "trust" individual pieces of tech in an absolute yes/no way.

Your grade in an English Literature class basically comes down to what grade the professor decides to assign you regardless of the grading method. There's no objective determination for what makes a paper an A paper versus a B paper, and plenty of people have stories about getting a C on a paper they thought deserved an A.
"verify funds locally via a dedicated or trusted computing environment located on the device itself"

This probably can't go wrong, and certainly wouldn't motivate groundbreaking research into breaking TPMs.
I failed Physics 101 in my first semester of college because in the first week the professor was covering everything to know about vectors, velocity, acceleration, etc. I never heard the word "vector" before, much less understood what a velocity vector is. Was I to blame for not knowing that? I certainly suffered the consequences, but it seemed like a failure on behalf of the teaching staff and curriculum.
Is that the limitation of arrays being addressed by an int instead of a long in java?
> That's a fairly bold claim. Honest question: how did you come to that conclusion.

I didn’t conclude anything. This is merely a suspicion, I explained my reasoning below.

SAT being an IQ is a stretch. SAT is a scholastic amplitude, a far more narrowly defined construct. In fact IQ (according to psychometricion) should be immutable and somewhat inheritable, while SATs should reflect the work you put in during your school career and should be fair across demographics. IQ is also normally distributed while SAT has a negative skew (raw mean around 1050 with arithmetic mean of 1000).

You might have meant to say that SAT is correlated with IQ. While true, that is by design and is scientifically uninteresting on its own. SATs are far simpler and cheaper to administer. We have way more SAT data on the general population then IQ data. If your model includes scholastic amplitude but you measure it in IQ, you will not only have a less accurate model, but you will also make gathering data way more expensive and difficult.
