Sorry, but I don‘t believe anyone who says this while looking at a modern day M1 macbook. I have the pleasure to own one for software development and graphical imagery work and frankly it‘s the single best computer I have ever used. No windows or linux machine comes close.

People conclude that tanks (sometimes, armour in general) are obsolete because the most modern anti-tank weapons defeat exactly the 70s tanks they were designed to defeat in the 90s. If anything, when someone makes this point, it tells you they are clueless.
The hub is a Ugreen branded one with two USB type C connectors which you can plug directly to your laptop. It also has 2 HDMI, 1 USB type A connectors, USB type C power input, and SD+micro SD card reader. I don't advise plugging this hub directly to your laptop because it heats up and that heats up the laptop's battery which I'm sure doesn't like it. I just keep it on two short USB type C cables so the heat doesn't transfer to the laptop. I've been using it for two years like this.

The DisplayLink compatible adapter is then connected to that hub via USB type A cable. It is made by Startech and has two DisplayPort connectors as outputs. I only use one out of those.
Lets just proceed with the premise that note taking is useful and answer the question.
Are you sure this isn't a bot that is merely responding to the headline? The comment has almost nothing to do with the article text.

Look at the comment history.

"If the headline was "German bombers drop smart anti-infrastructure water-bombletts into thames \ blitz getting more expensive by the day \ pratchett fans cheer for modern Ankh Morpork" it would describe a similar situation, without the disney googles and nobody would celebrate it.

Ankh Morpork is a Disc World reference that has nothing to do with German bombers or disney or google.

Non free firmware is a huge ongoing problem for me. I am posting this from a laptop that has some major failings because of the lack of updated firmware.

Slightly apart from the main issue here I would suggest that there is an opportunity for communication with some of the parties that matter most. Producing media that shows how much happier customers are with products that have freely available firmware with updates might convince some manufacturers to change their ways. If it were clear that power users would direct purchasing for whole organizations based in part on availability of firmware then there would be a clear profit motive for doing that. At this time makers see providing firmware as an expense and a risk that only diminishes their position.

Yea, a unix based system with a good Desktop manager in a powerhouse of a laptop. Horrible, right?
It's the same problem as the lack of widespread technical comprehension in the general public.

New blood politicians may know more about tech, phones and services from a _user_ perspective, but most of them are still politicians, not engineers - and just like the vast majority of the general public, will mostly not appreciate the implications of any details bellow the surface of modern technology. What we think of as common sense are based on principles in this domain that is invisible to most people.

There is no simple solution to this. For government specifically, perhaps a new specialised division that dictates policy for technology use throughout the government (I say new because I would not be surprised if some antiquated and dysfunctional version of this already exists).
The UK government hates its own country and people, why would they bother with something so trivial as national security. That would be like a serial killer worrying about infection whilst dismembering their victim.

Yes, they are. Of the big three (Intel, AMD, Nvidia), only the Nvidia drivers aren't open source (there's an open source driver for Nvidia, called "nouveau", but it doesn't come from the manufacturer and isn't that good).

I believe the lack of insects has a different cause since insects have become much more rare already. Some data suggests otherwise, but the quite simple windshield tests of people riding motorbikes seems to be most convincing. Helmets don't get dirty anymore and I doubt we killed all insects with motored vehicles.

Buying is throwing away money too, often just as much as the rent you were paying. Yes some portion of what you pay goes to principle and you eventually own the home but the following amounts are just lost money:
- interest on the loan
- utility bills
- property taxes

You also have to replace anything that breaks and are responsible for all repairs on the property. Many of these replacements and repairs don’t increase the value of the home.

At best buying a home is a forced investment plan. It forces you to take money above and beyond the cost of rent and put it into a savings vehicle that generally generates good returns. But if you’re renting you could just as easily put that excess money into the stock market if you have the discipline to not spend it.

It's not remotely difficult, and I'm sure 99.999999% of Labour Leftists with nigh-identical positions would not be so compromised. Can't understand why the Labour Left had to (politically) die on that hill.

Western media tends to use Ukrainian claims, generally saying so.
The video links to an overview of the backing research program, https://medium.com/swlh/neurosymbolic-ai-to-give-us-machines... , and from there I would look at the MIT site: https://mitibmwatsonailab.mit.edu/category/neuro-symbolic-ai...

The underlying big idea, as quoted from the medium article:

They posit that humans are born with a pre-programmed rough understanding of the world, in some ways analogous to the game engines used to build interactive immersive video games. This “game engine in the head” provides the ability to simulate the world and our interactions with it, and serves as the target of perception and the world model that guides our planning.

Crucially, this game engine learns from data, starting in infancy, to be able to model the actual situations — the endless range of “games” — we find ourselves in. It is approximate yet gets more and more efficient — to the point that very quickly, humans make instant mental approximations that are good enough to thrive in the world. And, the researchers think, it’s possible to replicate this type of system in a machine by embedding ideas and tools from game engine design inside frameworks for neurosymbolic AI and probabilistic modeling and inference known as probabilistic programs.
"Hundreds per hour" is hardly a denial of service.

If we assume the very high end of "hundreds", 900, it's still 15 requests per minute. Your system is a disgrace if it can't handle that kind of traffic. This incident was in 2010 so even that is not an excuse.
Mirror neurons seem to be the primary mechanism of learning from other members of the group. So in a sense, every species able to learn from others (by replicating the behaviour) would automatically also be able to identify the "self"? This seems like a too broad "definition", but maybe it actually isn't at all (i.e., maybe learning by replicating is actually a "stronger" condition than knowing about self).

When I mentioned the "itch", it was mainly about the reflex a lot of animals have, not a "conscious identification". Think about reflexively licking your lips when you see someone else get sauce/cream/beer-foam on their lips, or even the reflex of getting aroused when observing others being aroused?

Hiring easily with an open mind to firing quickly sounds like a good idea but civil rights law, at least in the US, makes it very difficult. Let's say that "fire quickly" is one of the few women or blacks you've hired. Even worse, let's say that the "fire quickly" contingent is disproportionately women or racial minorities, through no fault of your own. I hope you're ready to pay a lawyer and a decent settlement. It doesn't matter whether you've actually done anything wrong. It just comes down to the economics of the chance they draw a sympathetic judge, the chance a jury will buy their sob story, the amount of money it would cost you to litigate the case, and the amount of money they're willing to go away (i.e. settle) for. Hope no one in your workplace sent a stupid joke over email that will make you look awful in front of a jury. That makes the settlement number go up by a lot.

You can maybe get away with this practice with a small enough company, but even then, I'd advise extreme caution. If you can filter people out before offering them a job, you're in a much safer position legally.

Edit: I think you're in the UK. I don't know much about employment law over there, but I gather the situation is actually better.
>I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with watermarking. The problem is with this particular poorly tested implementation.

There is. Audio watermarking is inherently audible, because that is the only way to avoid being stripped out (deliberately or inadvertently) by the incredible technology we have for removing inaudible information from audio recordings: lossy audio codecs. The artifacts must be so salient that the codecs deem them important, audible information - codecs designed with elaborate psychoacoustic models, especially to make that judgement call with maximum efficacy. There's no way out.
Technically the ban isn't on foreign home buyers, the ban is on foreign capital coming into Canada to buy homes. This indirection may make enforcement more difficult, but the intent won't be hard to figure out if one is caught.

The one advantage of blind bidding is the slowness. You’re able to consult with everyone you need to between bids. In a live auction you might not get to call your family before having to decide if you want to go $10k higher. Even if your wife is there you don’t have time for an extended discussion on whether it’s worthwhile.
Why should investment properties be taxed worse than say, stocks?

If property is expensive, it means there's a demand for it. The price is a good signal that the area needs more properties built. It's only the gov't (local gov't perhaps, or NIMBYs) that are stopping it from happening.

Raising taxes isn't going to fix the problem. It only forces existing investors who are on the margins to get pushed out.

Sweden had a lot more covid deaths relative to its population than its neighbors (Norway, Finland, Denmark). Significantly more all-cause excess mortality too.

That's true, but that's Genesis 4. A continuation of the story in Genesis 2, but not really that creation story itself anymore. My comment is more about the structural similarity of the creation in Genesis 2 story to those "folk zoologists", than about what it means in the context of the rest of Genesis.

The fact that according to Genesis 4 other people did exist is a very good but in my opinion completely different issue.
I can't speak for the US, but here in NL, I don't see things changing very soon for various reasons.

Very few voters actually care to solve the issue. Home owners still far outweigh those who don't. Quite a few of the older generation bank on their property/properties to carry them through retirement. No one wants to see their house go under, even if they can realistically endure it without severe consequences. There's no incentive to increase interest rates, but banks obviously don't want to carry more risks, so individuals aren't getting the same mortgage-to-house price ratio as before.

"Figure it out" mentality. Even if there is a national or even global trend, responsibility to solve the issue is pushed onto the individual. Or worse, global mentality shifts to accept what is going on. "Yeah buying was normal back in the day, now you rent. Get over it."

Grandfathering and "empathy for the fortunate". Yes, I get it, you don't want your lucky uncle who worked a bad job for decades to lose his retirement. You don't want Mr. John in his McMansion on the other side of the road to lose his fortune. Almost no one wants to be the bad guy. Yet special ruling to keep the "haves" in their position continue to be placed at cost of the "have nots". No one wants to hurt anyone. As a result, the solution often seem to be continuing the same fruitless endeavor which changes nothing for the "have nots".

As mentioned before, population has yet to peak. Governments are still incentivizing people to come in or reproduce above replacement rate, despite it becoming evident we're just not capable of handling them. In theory we can handle way higher populations. In practice, there's no incentive to do so without severely punishing the working class further.

We're slowly normalizing a cyberpunk dystopia and most people seem okay with it. "At least you have iphones" is going to define gen Z and gen alpha at this point.
Great article. Really applies to so much happening during the covid times, and explains why there seems to be so much cognitive dissonance with the educated population.
So the topic you wish to discuss is "rhetoric used to ignore bigotry".

Feel free to demonstrate where this exists in the comment you replied to. I can just as easily decide the more relevant topic is "rhetoric used to ignore ethnic nationalism", which your post could be.

EDIT:

I'd also note the comment you replied to says:

> Israel plays the anti-semitism card much too loosely to be taken seriously

your own comment elsewhere (on Noam Chomsky):

> Noted genocide denier (repeatedly) with zero credibility on anything.

Why is dismissive labelling ok in one case, and not another?
Pass is a wrapper script around git and gpg. You can get the functionality of `pass` by running git and gpg commands directly.

Learning git itself is non-intuitive, but the gpg utilities take the learning curve to a whole other level. If you want to make simple use of the gpg utilities, you should plan on setting aside a few full days to learn how they work. Or just use pass, which additionally leverages git for password history.
I have misunderstood you then, I thought you were saying this was an purge designed to target Jewish members of the party, which didn’t seem to be the case to me.

The truly obsolete weapons platform is the $1.2 trillion manned F-35 program. A multi-role fighter that is too expensive to fly in this new combat space and cannot survive the multitude of anti-air missiles. The drone air war is a numbers game and unmanned fighters are both cheaper and have better operational specs.
> You'll hear people say things like "if evolution is real then why are there still monkeys?"

The only person I've ever met in my life who did not believe in evolution was a catholic priest. It's honestly bewildering to me that evolutionary sceptics are common enough to warrant a note in mainstream media or even just normal conversation. To me it's comparable to finding out there are still geocentrism apologists.

Although from what I've read it's more common in US. I'm in Europe so that may be the source of my bubble.

No, it's because they need money for new tactical missiles, and standoff weapons.

And because US marines conceded on the idea of fighting China amphibiously. Honestly, the idea to take, and hold those tiny islandlets in the South Sea by force landing is ridiculous.

----

No tank, or just anything will "live" if being sent into a know killbox, and Russians keep doing that repeatedly. This is what's happening in Ukraine now. Literally this: a clueless battalion sized force wades into a killbox, gets annihilated to last few men, next day, another battalion is sent to exactly the same spot...

Russians could've easily lost as much with modern, or other kind of military hardware than tanks.

Most Russian tanks were disabled by artillery, and missiles, not in tank vs. tank battles. No tank in the world would survive a 40kg missile, or an artillery shell hitting its roof. So, the quality of hardware is irrelevant.

Most of Russian military hardware losses are not from battles, but from soldiers routing, and abandoning their vehicles, which are LATER destroyed, or captured.

What is really telling is extremely low quality is the Russian military leadership.

The key here is to understand that losses do not come from 40kg missiles themselves, but from Russian generals knowingly sending their troops into ATGM, and artillery killboxes, and from Russian troops knowing their generals intentions, and acting accordingly (routing upon first battle damage)

----

In the context of above, it's very clear that amphibious landing in the age of satellite reconnaissance, infrared optics, 100km artillery projectiles, and antiship missiles is not a smart way to wage war today

I was in therapy for a while and I don't buy that therapists are good at actually solving people's problems. I saw a couple therapists and a both would often parrot whatever zeitgeisty feel good advice was common on Instagram - stuff like "self care" and the like - these sorts of things just encourage you to sink deeper into whatever problems you have and not address the root cause. I don't have any hard data on this but I imagine the majority of therapists are like this - average and not able to get people to solve their own problems.

Because they are a fundamental human need, and in limited supply. Good land is fundamentally limited. You can't build more of it.
Houses are listed artificially below market to expand interest and create bidding wars. No one expected to sell for $950k and if that was the only offer they got it would have been rejected. I had this experience on a property in Toronto where they listed at $1.5 million didn’t get a bidding war, rejected our offer, relisted at $1.71 million and eventually sold.

Above asking is a meaningless number because asking isn’t a reflection of what anyone expects a house to go for. It’s a game price designed to attract as many of the right people as possible to the property.
