It isn’t a continuum, though.
There are distinct discontinuities.
Chromosome count is one such example. Polar bears and grizzlies have 74 chromosomes. A panda has 42.

You can’t gradually go from one to the other.

Absent some mechanism we don’t know about, conception simply doesn’t work when the sperm and eggs have different numbers of chromosomes.

To be clear, the concept of chromosome isn’t as objective as one might think… nevertheless, it’s an example of the type of genetic difference that simply precludes reproduction.
>If the elites in Beijing are locked in their apartments for months on end, and start to go hungry... idk

That's why Beijing is getting better treatment.

>A defence of Beijing’s strict border controls might stress the importance of shielding the central government from outbreaks. But that does not explain why pandemic rules inside the capital have been strikingly lenient, compared with those imposed on humbler places like Langfang. For instance, more than half a dozen covid cases were found in April in Jiuxianqiao, a district of Beijing near modern-art galleries and posh apartment blocks. A compact “high-risk zone” was drawn around that outbreak as if with a scalpel. Nearby schools, shops and restaurants stayed open.

Does anyone know if these algorithms are practical on real problems on real machines, or is the constant term large enough you would normally just use a more traditional algorithm for most work?

> Absent fathers and broken family units are major factors for many social ills. It’s obvious but no one wants to talk about it.

This is just not true. It's almost constantly talked about, it's even a trope in movies, jokes, singers saying about it.

What is really not discussed is the other side of the equation. Who chooses those men?

Are women equally capable to make moral choices (I believe they are). Or are they just kind-of-sentient robots that are programmed to have kids, will grab any man that will make them pregnant and deserve only compassion when that "random choice" does not turn out to be a good dad?

I think (in terms of culture) this is closer (than what the author claims) to the truth: Complain about men not pulling their weight. Never mention women responsibility. It's taboo to discuss it openly in a good faith. So now we have a fringe claiming men are only victims of women evil, which is another side of this stupid-coin. We can't meet in the middle anymore.
It would be good to make a Joel Test for employment contracts.

I don't really know why most employment contracts are not from a standard source anyway: we will pay you this much, this often, for this many hours' work during that period. You don't take or destroy our equipment or represent us badly in public. When you leave you give us our equipment back, and don't solicit our employees for 6 months after. You get a bonus on these terms, and share options on these terms. Only things you make at work OR using our equipment belongs to us.
Salmon has highly variable quality. The best salmon, in my opinion, is high-latitude wild Pacific salmon e.g. the kind that often comes from Alaska. If you've ever tasted salmon side-by-side from various latitudes just along the coast of western North America, the change in quality as a function of latitude is unmistakable. New Zealand also produces respectable salmon. I've never had salmon from the Atlantic basin that compares to the best of the Pacific basin.

There are several different species of salmon, and the heuristics are dependent on the species. I eat a lot of salmon (I live in Seattle where fresh high-quality salmon is abundant) but largely restrict myself to northern Alaskan King and Sockeye. Those two species of the fish are both premium examples at opposite ends of the character spectrum.

As sashimi, a fresh salmon from a top-quality fishery is quite good. It is often difficult to find top-quality salmon at sushi joints in many parts of the world. Whether or not random salmon or random tuna is better depends on where you are, often as a function of how close you are to high quality fisheries.
There have definitely been signs of serious disquiet amongst the western business community; earlier this month the European Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai sent an open letter saying in the usual diplomatese "this can't go on, it's a serious problem." [1] The Japanese did something similar. [2]

This is not out of humanitarian interest. It's starting to affect business very significantly.

While I get the desire to charge for free software, I am a bit perplexed at the choice to make it as hard as possible to get the source code and build it.

The reason I'd want all the software I use to be open source is so I can compile it, be confident it builds and matches what I am running, and then be ready to modify it when a need arises — along with publishing the changes to the public.

If any of those steps are hard, you might as well go with another license (like any of those read-only source licenses).

So if one makes it deliberately hard to do the above (or rather, to exercise freedoms guaranteed by GPL), why go with that license in the first place?

The biggest blocker for me in paying for free software apps today is the fact that I want to pay after the fact (after I confirm that the app does what I need it to do, because so many simply don't).

On the phones, it'd be great if there was an easy way for f-droid to highlight how much you've used particular apps and offer to donate (though at the same time, I always struggle to find the same email client I used on last reinstall, all based on the same codebase).
With AWS prices that must be burning money (if you honestly pay the AWS bill).

The article has the answer inside.

The Olympics and big theme parks. E.G. from memory: EPCOT, back in the day, was supposed to be a perpetual worlds fair. It was still sort of like that even at the end of the 1990s.

Worlds Fairs also included a heaping dose of Nationalism. A combination of competing countries and major industries showed off. Today the companies prefer to either have their own events, or various industry trade shows.
I wonder how easy it is to use a collision in that context (SSH)?

The best place to archive it is your current computer which you use every day, ideally with a VM of the machine that can run that code (maybe Open Virtualisation Format can keep it useable longer?). Then hope that when you want to use that program again in the future the VM will still boot on whatever host you have available.

Then come back to it at least once a year to run it again and make sure it still works.

At present we are lucky enough that Windows programs from 1990s still run under Windows 10 to some degree. Thank the folks at Microsoft for maintaining their operating system as a digital museum of archaic bug-compatible APIs.

Something to keep on the shelf would mean you ignore it for too long and it stops working.

Even something like a Python script may stop working due to changes in the language, and old versions of the interpreter no longer being maintained.
I doubt their model is that people are perfect. I think their model assumes that if they set strong enough incentives, the human-error will only be a second order effect and can be safely ignored. I don't know how well they've estimated the political price for some of these incentives, and whether they have the political capital to expend to maintain this lockdown for much longer.
I like to use an analogy where every country is represented by a couple of people in a bar. China is the group who plans their consumptions two months in advance and sticks to its plan. America is the group that gets into a brawl in one moment, and in the next, builds a functional rocket in the parking lot.

Putting a button on GPIO8 makes perfect sense. Off you are not holding it down during power-up, everything is normal, and it is ignored by all code except yours, otherwise. Arguably it should ship with a button there, as wifi routers do routinely.

The whole article seems to be about nothing working at all, and all the ways it is found not to work at all. It would be helpful to know if the author has ever got anything working anywhere, or if this is his first time coding for a GPIO pin.
SMB is absolutely terrible over latent connections.

I don't understand how SMB could work unless there was geographical replication to nodes closer to you, with some kind of load balancing to change the endpoint you're using to be closer to you.
I spent some (too many) months looking into this domain so I can maybe give some context.

The astonishing improvement here is that we can compute exact flows in almost-linear time. Previous algorithms for computing almost-optimal flows in almost-linear time have been known for some time, and hence it was expected that someone would eventually find an algorithm that finds optimal flows in almost-linear time. Well, looks like it's finally here!

I've only skimmed the paper but it seems to me that the authors draw on a set of techniques established for the almost-optimal case. These come with rather enormous constants, so it is unlikely that there will be a practical implementation of this algorithm any time soon.
Even better, you can pay Beeminder money to jump to the big penalties right away. Very clever upsell since anyone who needs to lose thousands to be motivated won’t miss a fraction of that. :)
Earlier versions of TLS use MD5 + SHA1 not repeated, but applied side-by-side to produce a 288-bit hash; this presumably has a multiplicative effect on the strength, since now you have to generate a collision which satisfies both functions simultaneously.
Who told you a new car and owning a house is an "entry level" thing? If you expect somebody to give that to you you're up for a disappointment. A new car is an expensive thing, and a house is even more. You need to work a lot to be able to afford expensive things. Sure, you can make the life satisfying right now - e.g. by buying some drugs. But it will become very unsatisfying pretty soon after that. Because there's no such thing as getting expensive things without working - for most of the people. Sure, tiny minority gets lucky. But the majority works - and gets those expensive things after a long time, because it takes a long time to earn them. And one of the reasons it may be harder to earn them now is that a lot of people have a desire to consume, but no desire to produce - but somebody has to produce what they consume. It's no wonder it becomes harder for the people who produce something to get by - the unearned consumption has to come from somewhere.
No, property is far more risky than that. However even if nothing goes wrong, revenue tracks local rents, not overall inflation
Some things that make shell scripts have performance issues
The constants are enormous enough that you'd never want to use these algorithms in practice - for now, at least. There's a key problem that uf resolved would allow quite efficient implementations of this family of algorithms even on the GPU, something that previously wasn't really possible for such graph algorithms.
You pasted the guidelines yourself.

In this case, election had global consequences which goes beyond many things in the recent history. We can see posts about war regularly on here, which are not flagged. And the war is only about politics by definition.
If the author is reading, I believe the problem noted at the end is actually that the code isn’t going through the thunk API and thus no memoization occurs. (Consider that there is no call to Set in the evaluation tree!)

fib = func(n int) int {
if cache[n].o.IsSome() {
return *cache[n].o.val
}
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
}

Should be:

fib = func(n int) int {
return cache[n-1].Force() + cache[n-2].Force()
}
Why are they even encrypting the stuff? 1024 bit key? On such a long term mission, KISS is pretty crucial.

Some combo of all. What have you tried so far?
> Filesystems keep checksums of every block of data.

False. A limited number of filesystems keep checksums of data - most notably ZFS and btrfs. Some like ext4 and APFS will do it for metadata only. One of the most commonly used filesystems, NTFS, does not for either data or metadata.

> Typically it's done at the filesystem level or higher, including when using self-encrypting drives.

I don’t know where you got this idea from, but it’s basically the opposite of true.

> If single bits are flipped then they can be corrected.

Also false. Most checksums are used for error detection, not correction. CRCs as are typically used for filesystems are not particularly well suited for error correction.
The capital requirements result in something similar. In the end, a loan by JPM of $100 is backed by about $90 of deposits and about $10 of JPM equity. In practice JPM has more capital than that, but there is some adjustments to the loan amount given the risk of any loan etc.

So, JPM needs more equity if it wants to ramp up it's loans.
I'm going to challenge this based on the idea of fractal geometries, wherein a universe exists in which the number 1 doesn't exist.

I'm not a proponent of slavery, nor was I one 20 years ago the first time I set up a slave server. You don't think it's the least bit wrong to artificially call people names just because you decided to change the language in a completely ridiculous way and they didn't want to play-act along with you that you were doing a great thing for the world?

The "honesty" is inherent in calling a thing what it is. Red and green still exist, whether or not there are blind people who can't see them. Asking people to avoid the word "red", as in "redlining", is asking people to agree that 2+2=5. Some will do so out of fear. Some will do so because they're browbeaten with retarded arguments like the ones you're giving.

2+2=4. The people who thought the Great Firewall was a good idea for Chinese nationalism are just like you. They believed in doing the best thing for the most people, at the expense of anyone who disagreed with them. And like you, their real reason was not in fact to help anyone; it was showing that they had power to push their agenda.

>> I guess it's easier to be indifferent when you don't despise the cause behind it...

This is the real nut of it. If you find yourself indifferent to something because you're in favor if the cause behind it, but you would be outraged if you were against the cause behind it, then you had better speak out against it - because it will come for you eventually.

It always comes back and bites you. I'm a grandchild of holocaust survivors. No one spoke up for us. You are creating the conditions by which everyone is afraid to speak their mind.

I hope your own people do come for you first, and I'm confident they will find something in your Facebook or Twitter history to kick you out of society as language changes in the next few years and you find yourself left behind. My advice to you then is: Remember that you didn't speak up for anyone else you disagreed with.

This'll be the end of this; I'm done wasting my time on someone who can't understand the basic principles at work here. I hope the best for you and people like you when the fascists take over and tell you which words aren't inclusive of their idea of equity.
100% agree, but I'm still not seeing the flaw in the argument.
New Zealand farmed salmon is the only farmed salmon I will eat, because it is legitimately much higher quality than farmed salmon I have eaten from anywhere else. No idea about safety per se. I have easy access to fresh wild Alaskan salmon and typically eat that from sources with known supply chains. Nonetheless, experience has convinced me that New Zealand produces the only farmed product that is remotely comparable in quality.

New Zealand has a legit below-the-radar farmed salmon business, mostly because their salmon has quality unlike any other farmed salmon I've experienced.
What if you didn’t need the state to enforce those rights? And everyone agreed the ledger was ownership. That is what we have today, and 13 years and counting. You are free to ignore that ledger.
I believe Darwin envisioned that, and the Tree of Evolution was just an introductory notion (I never read his book) before going into subtler reasons for new traits.
The trick here is that you compare overall earning over the US (including rural Arkansas and such) with "mid-city" rent - i.e. only select places. According to https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/average-ren... at least half the states have median rent below $1000. And yes, you can't live in San Francisco on Arkansas salary, but if you ever tried to hire a plumber in Bay Area, especially for a job beyond "my faucet is leaking", you know very well it costs a real lot.

I simply said that we can talk about Russians' hurt feelings when Ukrainians aren't being killed by Russians.

Quote where I said Russians should be killed? No one's killing Russian civilians. I never said anyone should.

Russian media and leaders have said Ukraine should be wiped off the map. Mariupol is no longer a city. Tens of thousands of civilians murdered. Women raped. But people are being mean to Russians? You're literally whitewashing a genocide...

How about you say what the Russians are doing is wrong?
Some DVDs are definitely noticeably low quality transfers, but the vast majority are are fine. I have a 60” 4K screen and don’t really notice in a way that bothers me, at least.
Yeah, this is probably going to bring in overconfident, unmanageable cliques far more often than great cohesive teams that aren’t looking to strike out on their own. I say this as someone who graduated from an elite school (so not sour grapes or anything)...
Sockeye is a delicacy. I love it on its own, prepared just about any way.

Here’s hoping we find ways to restore their populations. It’s gotten to the point that I practically feel guilty eating them, knowing the fishery is practically imploding.
Journaling means that there is a two phase commit to the metadata of the file system. This helps avoid file system corruption on unclean shutdown and speed up recovery after an unclean shutdown. But it has nothing to do with data checksums. You can’t perform any scrub like behavior to validate your on, e.g., ext4 just because it has a journal.
For compressed images (such as JPEG), if you flip a bit in the image section that breaks the compressed data, and the decompression algorithm won't make sense. However it could also be that there's a checksum on most of the file data. That would explain why you can't open the image at all.

NFT Tool – Feedback Wanted
I'm currently building a Ethereum NFT Rarity Lookup Tool (whoa, I need a shorter way to describe this :D). We are fetching every token in a collection, analyze their metadata and rank them accordingly.

You can check it out here: https://cavar.io/

I've launched last week and I'm looking for feedback. So if you have NFTs, thinking of buying or have a general interest in the topic I would love to get your feedback on this.

Right now, we don't offer much features. But here is what we have so far:

Add projects(collections) to our database: Other than most rarity tools, we allow users to add projects to our database. If we don't have the collection that interests you in our database already, you can just add it. Depending on the amount of projects currently in queue it might take some time, but you can see the progress on the Projects Overview Page: https://cavar.io/projects

Projects Rarity Ranking: You can see all tokens in a project on the Project Detail Page (for example: https://cavar.io/project/proof-moonbirds). You see what see the ranking for each token at first glance. If you want to get more information about a specific token, just go to the:

Token Detail Page: Here you can see the traits and the respective values of the token (Example: https://cavar.io/project/boredapeyachtclub/1337/129943780)

We're adding new features on a daily basis. But most importantly: We're constantly fixing bugs (because we're still in alpha stage). Right now, our tool is FREE to use and we would appreciate any kind of feedback.

If you have feedback, please use the Feedback button on our page, leave me a comment here or hit us up on Twitter: https://twitter.com/cavarioNFT
I have been sorely disappointed by the shear amount of selfish, entitled, prejudiced behavior I observed in Bay Area, so what? The exact nature of prejudice may be a bit different, but it's still very much around here. OK, the difference in the Bay Area you pay 20x for it, I guess.
