> They banned Trump because he incited a fucking riot on the nation's capitol and even after seeing the consequences of this incitement - in the form of a dead supporters of his and potentially members of our government being killed by an angry mob - Trump doubled down like he always does.

So what should happen to social media companies who supported BLM and the riots that ensued? Should they be banned? What about social media companies role in the color revolutions?

> Yishan's entire thread boils down to "social media companies don't give a shit about ideology until it manifests as an actual threat to public safety". I'm confused how you weren't able to glean that from his thread.

See the above comment.

> We absolutely censor libraries. Currently large portions of the country are obsessed with throwing out LGBT literature that kids might have access to. I'm sure you can guess as to why that is.

We talking libraries or elementary schools? Big difference.

> That doesn't make sense. For social media companies, engagement = money and having trolls, Trump, and outrage clicks is certainly more profitable than not having those things.

It makes sense if the advertisers don't like it. Advertisers aren't just interested in numbers. They are also interested in branding.

> Sometimes good business sense aligns with doing the right thing.

Most times good business sense aligns with doing the wrong thing.

Just in case you were wondering. Not a fan of Trump. Not a fan of the left or right.
If you are worried about asking you will be worried about just breaking it in the future. Keep that in mind when signing because employment/reference checks will become worrisome.

There are plenty of areas where Amazon doesn't compete and plenty of areas they do compete. If you stay away from bigger firms you should be okay.

Should you accept the offer is laying low a strategy you can live with for 18 months?
Isn't the actual material covered in these camps secondary? What people want is a certificate to put on their resume and some help with networking/placement. I mean I also think these programs are just as ripe for shady dealings as places like ITT Tech, but that's why people are paying into them.
Perhaps they just keep the data in a vault just in case it might become useful someday. Not many people need to know about that. It can be just some box sitting at the point where data enters the datacenter. That's the darkest theory I can come up with.

Anyway, I'm a happy DDG user (on devices where typing "!g" isn't a pain).
Fuck with rich peoples money, you're going to jail _for a long time_. Murder someone in a case of 'mistaken identity/residence', go to work tomorrow.
Yeah, there's no concealment and no beneficial ownership. "I'll vote as part of your bloc" isn't beneficial ownership. (At most it's delegating the 'control' aspect of the equity, but even that is a stretch - in context, it's clearly a statement of incidental agreement with his opinion on this point, not a total delegation of control no matter what he should choose to do in future.)
A certain philosopher named Occam would suggest that appeals to conspiracy are much harder to substantiate than appeals to incompetence or irresponsibility.
Ironically, Sun invested heavily in user studies and development for Gnome 2, which is why is was so user friendly. Sun didn't really benefit from it commercially, then thanks to thr CADT development model, Gnome 3 was a massive regression for normal users (and still was a few years ago).
Back when DDG first started, Gabe was asking for ideas/opinions on features they had and might add, and I talked to him on the phone for a few minutes. He seemed a pleasant, sincere and honest person, and I've seen nothing since to contradict that. Unlikely he's got that kind of time any more ... here's a (2018?) interview (with Vivaldi, they'd just made DDB their default search), listen for yourself.

Suspicious of most of the rotten-meat smells on the net as I am, I use DDG for everything.

> I'm pretty confident in stating that the average Chinese has overall better immune system function.

I would disagree with this, especially in Southern China in the winter. The lack of indoor heating has a huge impact on your immune system, to the point that it is extremely easy to get sick.

There is a reason a bunch of old people die in Hong Kong whenever the temperature drops below 5C, which is much more developed compared to the rest of southern china.
Considering Jekyll's deployable assets are just static assets, there's no reason they'll have to learn any configs at all.

Although I highly doubt learning a jekyll config would be harder than managing a PHP daemon, web proxy and mysql database.
I think this is a weak answer. Too many engines simply do nothing and provide you at best raw sockets. That's not a solution, and most of the time people use arguments like this, and they're not valuable, either.

It's like saying "The problem is difficult," it doesn't inform anyone and no one learns from it.

Further, most advanced engines simply allow you to construct payloads and `setReliable( true/false )` or something similar.
They make the alleged fraud public though, do they not? The comment you’re replying to seems to suggest a strategy of intentional non-disclosure. I think that’s a material difference when it comes to analyzing the legality of those two approaches.
The conditions under which the sale can fail to go through are enumerated in the document, and all of them are pretty much boilerplate. Practically speaking, Musk cannot back out unless there is a REALLY good reason that isn't enumerated in the offer. Here is the boilerplate:

1. Government approvals - self-explanatory.

2. "Confirmatory due diligence - making sure that Twitter isn't cooking the books or breaking the law (in an undisclosed way - if they have already told you they were breaking the law, that would not qualify).

3. The negotiation and execution of definitive agreements - writing the exact contract terms.

4. Completion of anticipated financing - I am assuming that some amount of the purchase is in the form of a leveraged buyout. This is about the due diligence of the lender, which is similarly restricted.

As LVMH discovered recently in their purchase of Tiffany, it would literally take an event bigger than the pandemic to otherwise get out of a purchase of a public company.
The law is quite clear. The question is if it includes "alternative tradable assets" i.e. shitcoins.

That's a lot of money for a platform that people can easily leave... Or, is yelling at one of the sides of the US political system worth that much?
This is a lot better, thanks!
> The alternative [..] sounds crazy

I also think that it is unlikely but, let's not forget that some unlikely things are regularly found to be true.

In 2019 many thought that a global pandemic was unlikely, in 2007 they thought that a housing market crash was unlikely, and so on.

Personally, I think an independent audit would go a long way in clearing up my doubts.
I have two MikroTik devices. ("Mikro", not "Micro".)

I encourage you to purchase their stuff, though I haven't researched the particular model you linked to.

I recommend using the terminal interface to configure them, exclusively. It is available via telnet, ssh, their web UI ("webfig") and their MS Windows-only GUI ("WinBox").

Please note that consumer-oriented concepts like "port forwarding" are not included. To set up "port forwarding", you add a firewall rule! See https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual%3AIP/Firewall/NAT#Port... (Personally, I had to add `inferface=ether1` so the rule wouldn't try to fire whenever I tried to visit any site on that port from the LAN...)

Like any device, keep your firmware up to date and do not use default passwords. There is some kind of auto-reconfigure script out there that will try to reconfigure your device..
ripgrep is a modern written-in-Rust[0] equivalent that I really like.

so is ddg becoming a google ?
from legal perspective definitely, usually its phrase "as long as its created during work time or with work equipment or its work related" its property of the company.

I am asking more from technical point of view, e.g. I guess the tech companies at least will have booting from usb blocked completely, or it triggers some bitlocker type lock
> By selling only expensive "Serious Business" hardware to corporations

This is a mistake IBM is making as well. There is no cheap on-ramp for their POWER and mainframe platforms. I doubt those machines are running many new workloads. Almost all new corporate software is developed for Linux-based commodity servers.

It's a shame, really, because they are magnificent machines.
Except it is actually quite easy to measure hearing thresholds in nonhumans as well as human babies via auditory brain responses (ABRs).
There's also the people who just need a bit of guidance before they can improvise.

They live on the spectrum of "independent self-learner" and "can only repeat from memory".
Was there a meaningful possibility he might have done that? Was your relationship close enough that he'd have regarded you as a competent authority on the subject?

I know people who have written missives like that to both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Nothing came of it, obviously, because nothing could have come of it.

Omicron does seem to be more contagious, but given that other regions of China have successfully contained it, not so much more contagious that strict lockdown won't work. It appears that the Shanghai 'disaster' has been caused by the typical combination of complacency and attempts to balance with business as usual.
I don't see any of these options in my plugin. I have NoScript 10, and it looks like there is a NoScript 11 out there; is that what you have? Maybe the feature was introduced in 11 and I'm missing that update; checking their changelog now...

Edit: Correction - I do have NoScript 11; but don't see those options.
At that point it was probably the free Franz Lisp that was included in BSD Unix 4.2 or 4.3, which had an interpreter and compiler (with basically MACLISP semantics so it could run Macsyma) on VAX and mc68k platforms. As an undergraduate in 1986 I ported it to the CCI Tahoe, which was a VAX clone with a slightly simplified instruction set (and the main platform on which the BSD 4.3Tahoe release was developed).
It would be cool for ARM support. I'm not sure how hard that is but seems like it's hit or miss for various linux distros if you can get them to run on apple silicon.
I don't think that's a very productive line of reasoning at this point. It's extremely likely that Chinese COVID deaths have been fudged, but that fudging still places them pretty close to the top of the list in terms of proportional COVID deaths. China isn't able to cover up two large metropolises disappearing off the face of the earth - I'm almost certain there is a fair amount of statistical fudging but I think we can be confident that the numbers are in the same ballpark.

So, at the end of the day, I think the rest of the discussion remains unchanged.
What? This is not just wrong, it's comical to even think of what it would mean if it were true. The board would have to clairvoyantly foresee any possible acquirer who might be interested in the company, or else reach out to every company and individual in the world, stating its willingness - or otherwise - to be acquired. That would be, uh, quite something.
This is great advice! We're pretty on top of our finances so we have a decent (but finite) runway to get everything figured out. My wife is a VERY driven person, which is the main reason for the push to get a job quickly. If anything I'm trying to convince her that she doesn't need to feel the pressure that she does, haha.

She has been loving the quality time with our children while job hunting which I think is helping to convince her to slow down and find something that really fits the work/life balance she's aiming for.
The article is entirely unclear about whether she paid anything to Lambda School, or whether she currently owes anything to them.

> She took out $30,000 for its six- and 12-month computer science programs

"Took out" of where? Her bank account? Why would she be in an income-share if she paid $30,000 up front?

> for any student’s ISA payments to be activated ... landed a role leveraging skills learned at Lambda School that pays $50K or more in salary.

She has not earned anything from being a web developer. So it would appear she doesn't owe Lambda anything. Are they suing her?
I'm not sure what to answer, except that we live in different realities and in my reality Java is pretty terrible even if a lot of effort has been put into it.
Give non-alcoholic beer to 100 people who don't drink beer. I don't know the number, but I would be surprised if there weren't at least 10% who reported feeling tipsy and acting in stereotypically drunk ways.

I know that some psychedelic researchers use a suitable dose of niacin as the control arm. The person will experience some flushing and a faster heart rate. If they are new to psychedelics, they don't what psychedelics are supposed to feel like, and so they assume it is the real thing.
I recall there being a Pizza place in New Jersey or something that was a publicly listed company on the OTC worth tens of millions of dollars. Prime example.
I'm impressed these are done with MS Paint. I'm somewhat curious why he either never found, or doesn't like, paint.net. For me, it's a nice middle ground between something like MS Paint and expensive paid tools, and has a ton of both built-in features and plugins that would make his work easier.
I think that's a different matter. Using checklists to automate a task, and make sure you don't skip any is working. Random obstacles before dangerous acts IMO make little to no use.
Before destroying a house a checklist can ensure that they checked if there are anyone in the building (i seriously have no idea how they do that), but requiring them to stand on one leg with pinched nose, I don't think that'd have any use.
Wow. Just last night, I had a dream where I had taken my family along to a conference of AppleScript and HyperTalk developers.

Family enjoyed the hotel and the glorious metropolis of San Jose. A dozen or so programmers thought about ways to take AppleScript to the next level.

(We could call it... AppleJava for Apps!)
Well, not using DDg anymore, based on this and the comments down below. Any recommendations?

Maybe I’ll give Lycos a try again xD
If Linux developers are actually afraid of that, then they should simply switch the license away from the GPL, or dual license it, or do anything else than what they're currently doing.
Everyone still has to jump through the Leetcode/whiteboard/design hoops to get in the door. My impression from working with bootcamp grads is that they are well-prepared for this trial, better than CS grads. The bootcamps don't teach them any theory that will "never" be used on the job.
Remember that this IS Musk; not very predictable. But I'm going to try...
Since Musk has stated that this was NOT to make money, I imagine that triggering the poison pill, and THEN dumping the shares would tank the stock. Musk did say "final offer, and if rejected, re-evaluate". The poison pill trigger? Not something talked about.

I hold some shares of TWTR, and would continue. For the lulz.
I think the answer is that "the interests of shareholders" can be interpreted in a much broader fashion than some people, including board members, like to pretend.
If you want to learn pretty much anything the information is there, but it's not curated, and you don't have the support of a guide. Especially if you're new to the field, you don't necessarily know how to even ask the right questions about where to start or how to get unstuck.

To make an analogy, if you were learning to exercise for the first time, the information is out there, but there's a ton of bad and conflicting information out there too, and if you're not careful you'll make no progress or even get hurt. So it makes sense to hire a trainer or learn from friends, especially in the beginning.
Yes I'm sure there are other factors, including pollution etc.
But wrt. to Covid the main risk factors seems to be blood sugar / blood pressure problems. Possibly because these are most correlated with immunosupression, various deficiencies, possibly immunosupressive medication (to mitigate chronic inflammatory conditions) etc.
My guess is the community college can't attract a teacher who knows the topics well and a bootcamp can. Note: I'm not saying all bootcamp teachers are good, nor am I saying community college teachers are bad. Rather I'm completely guessing that bootcamps pay teachers significantly more than community colleges and I'm making the assumption that would attract more talented teachers "on average".
I have the Orenz Nero, the Kuru Toga and even a Faber-Castell alpha-matic, but my favorite is a Faber-Castell e-motion with its lovely tactile wood barrel and expressive 1.4mm lead.
You have lived in a world in which the government can confine you to your house your entire life.

Thanks for the pointer, I'll be looking it up shortly.

Anecdotaly, I've found myself getting a phantom tone in the 15khz range (sounds just like a flyback) when in a quiet house. This could be entitely placebo effect, but I've gotten some relief by doing a bad emulation of active noise cancelling headphones, namely
playing a quiet 15khz (ish) tone through my bone conduction headphones. It's not perfect by any means, but often the very act of trying to tune my tone generator to the right frequency can be enough to stop it annoying me (it becomes less noticeable).

Im curious if anyone else has tried similar?
Sorry, but this doesn't make sense to me. There has to be a boundary - a person who got all the answers wrong can't underestimate their performance, and a person who got all the answers right can't overestimate their performance. You could make the case that boundary effects are all DK is about, but that's not what the article is doing (and also I don't think such a claim is supported by the DK plot).
Are you talking about Parler and the overt fascism and racist postings?

No global corporation will allow that in their midst. You’re a fool if you think there is any long term viability to those psychotic beliefs.
Unless I'm missing something, 'leveraged buyout' doesn't specify that it's Twitter's equity which has to be leveraged. Off the top of my head, I think Elon Musk has some other bits and pieces which he could scrounge together for collateral.
> Labs (ethically) work with pathogens all the time, they obviously don't inject viruses into humans without substantial cause.

There's a long history that shows this is clearly not how lab leaks work.
Or by Occam's razor, I would say the goverment simply screws up (so badly) at their top-down approach at this stage.
I don't think anyone should use finalizers in Java either, but it hasn't stopped anyone from doing that.
In the 90s, we had “PC.” In retrospect, it was a very mild strain of what we have now.
Cargo and crates.io have been specifically designed to be reliably reproducible, and had a chance to learn from npm's mistakes to not repeat them.

Cargo binary projects have Cargo.lock by default with checksums of all dependencies used. crates.io doesn't allow changing past releases, and has a policy of not deleting any crates unless legally required (user-accesible "yank" hides, but doesn't delete). Crates.io index is a git repository with full history of all changes to the registry, so you can recreate its state at any point in time (in case you lost your Cargo.lock, you can reliably remake one from the past).

And on top of that there's `cargo vendor` command that makes a local offline copy of everything you use, so you can fully archive a Cargo project and rebuild it any time later.
> what happens if you exceed the bandwidth limit for several frames in a row?

There's no way deltas would exceed deltas that are just full frames. If you can't send a full frame over the wire, then you are trying to push too many pixels and need to downsample on any of the 3 dimensions you have to play with.
It seems like she took the ISA, then took out a personal loan to cover external expenses of taking the course. This is unfortunate, but it doesn't look like it's Bloom's fault.
In my teens and early 20s, I had all the time in the world to experiment. As a middle-aged father, I get very few hours to learn, and so have to use them efficiently. Being spoon-fed helps a lot with that. It's an especially acute problem given how much junk info exists on the internet.

If you can afford the time to spend a whole day learning how to solve the problem yourself, it's probably the best way to learn. But if we restrict the industry to those who can afford that time, we'll be poorer for it. Many people can be good developers despite going through a different learning path.
Nice!!

There was also a really cool foldable keyboard for PalmPilot as far as I remember. Might be a good option for this treatment too. Probably even easier.
The degree to which voices are silenced is definitely quite different. Canada has recently been having a very difficult discussion on Native American deaths and disappearances at residential schools - this is a discussion that could never happen under the Chinese government.

Yes, it's wrong to say that voices are completely silenced in China and completely free in Canada - but it's pretty disingenuous to suggest they're on equal footing.
I'll bet you that it is fewer than 3 million deaths.
> I have sudden deafness in my left ear (meaning: I just woke up deaf one day and they don't know why)

Ah, me too, but no sound at all. A specialist told me it was caused by a virus, but I never looked into which one, or asked for more info.. There was no treatment, except cochlear implant, which didn't sound too great. Hopefully it doesn't happen in the other ear also!

I am not using any standard lines, I am an internet commentator from the US.

If China were lying about it's numbers, it would be obvious from antibody tests of people traveling from China. It is clear that they are not undercounting deaths by millions.
