>All the political action is bathroom bills and sports bills coming from the right

It's hilariously disingenuous and backward how you mention the reaction to the encroaching transgender ideology without mentioning the action itself that prompted it. The bathroom and sports bills are defensive measures against the ideology infiltrating institutions and allowing the easy access of vulnerable spaces to mentally unstable individuals.

>what political power is the 'transgender ideology' wielding.

Other than

- In [1] an academic professor is fired for publishing a book critical of transgender beliefs

- In [2] a school covered for a trans rapist who raped a teenager in the girls bathroom, he was eventually transfered to another school where he raped a second teenager.

- In [3] an. archeologist is fired for trans critical views

- [4] documents several other cases of harassment perpetrated by trans ideology supporters in academia

- In [5], a British political party struggles with the definition of a woman, party representatives repeatedly refused to answer straightforward questions about basic female biology to avoid angering the trans lobby

- In [6], as in [5], a US Supreme Court judge refused to answer the question "What's a woman", citing that "She's not a biologist".

- The social media giants ban any dissenting discussion. Examples too numerous to mention, and can be empirically reproduced for yourself.

You've got the gist of it, this is like a client certificate + metadata about your and it's mediated by the blockchain and not a specific company or authority. Essentially your "account" anywhere is this.
Would love to hear from folks who worked on this!

Was this an ongoing thing? Did it have to be pitched hard? What finally made the difference? I'm assuming here it's not because of LAPSUS as some speculate. This seems like it must have been in the making for quite a while.
> Their depositors wallets aren't "on the blockchain" -- if they were, they'd be in the the depositors custody not coinbase's.

If the users' wallet values are really just database entries referring to some miniscule portion of the mega-wallet whose private keys are actually owned by an exchange, then what's the point of using the blockchain at all?

What is the value provided by exchanges other than an asset database that (hopefully) has bank-level security?

Just a way for regular folks to speculate on cryptocurrency?

Couldn't that function be equally served by some kind of high-risk brokerage account that has a crypto investment option?

I struggle to find the answer too. I want to plant exclusively plants in my garden that are native to my region and find other properties. These sources do provide some information but none of them are really pleasant or on par with quality.

- http://eol.org # This shows some nice graphs of what pest might ward of other invaders but its quite the challenge to find it. For illustration on what I mean with the graph, here's a good example: https://eol.org/pages/45515235

I am dreaming of having the time and budget to expand on this website of EOL and develop an open source farm where non-tech users can contribute through tools like iNaturalist and collectively create the graph of life. In such a way that we can formulate the world as a LP problem where we maximize for bio-diversity with respect to the surroundings. Imagine being able to insert any terrain, be it France or Somalia, and have a recommended plantplan over time be delivered.

Since the deadline passed I guess Nvidia negotiated, or they were bluffing.
a recruiter for a space startup which shall remain unnamed but which anyone can guess who i am talking about, called me one day because of my experience with realtime embedded stuff in c/c++. i told her politely i was happy to consider applying but that the compensation was going to have to be significantly increased for me to consider joining, and she could not understand why i expected to be paid for my experience and education, background etc. after all, who doesn’t dream about working for a SPACE company????? i then also mentioned i will not do any coding interviews, under any circumstances, but that i was happy to share samples of my work and talk about decisions i made designing hardware and writing firmware, middleware and user space applications. she then balked BUT WE ARE SENDING PEOPLE TO SPACE! and insinuated i must be a fraud or liar since i refused to deal with their standard bullshit procedure. the conversation then quickly ended with her turning it back on me and making me feel like i was completely stupid / unexperienced / incompetent etc. needless to say i will never work for these entitled people.
I agree that this is a cool. That being said, the results show that we have a long, long way to go. The topics are pretty incoherent: what are "would", "should", and "use" doing in there? The words have no context, so (for example) "self" clearly refers to the python reserved keyword, but you have no way of knowing that. Not to mention (as another comment brings up), the topics aren't named so it's pretty hard to actually figure out what they're about. If we think about real-world usage this output would be practically useless - it tells you that people talk about investing in r/investing and pytorch in r/pytorch. If you want meaningful, actionable information about what people are talking about in a large corpus of unstructured text data then for the forseeable future you'll need to involve humans in the loop even if ML assistance plays a big part.
This is getting into the weeds, but I'm keeping an eye out for information on whether the 6a will have a subscription option like the 5a (24 payments of $15 = $360 for a $450 phone).

Of course, my 5a will only be paid off in another 19 months, at which point a hypothetical Pixel 7a will presumably be available for upgrading, hopefully also with a similar subscription plan, but meanwhile whether the 6a even has a subscription plan is an indicator of what the offerings will be in another year and a half.

I am glad that the 6a has a Tensor chip (that's the one significant limitation of the 5a compared to the rest of the current lineup), so whatever else, I can be reasonably certain that the phone upgrade will have one too.

I find the urge to conduct kremlinological analysis somewhat annoying, but given that my subscription agreement just says that I will have an opportunity to upgrade at the end of the payment plan, with no indication as to the price or value of that upgrade, it is hard not to worry.

It is interesting though that the present value of a subscription hardware purchase is now hinging in part on the future upgrade opportunity (and in the sense of replacement with a new version rather than expansion with add-on hardware) just like software.

That said, even if that future upgrade opportunity turns out to be crap, I'll only be disappointed rather than feeling burned. After all, a sizable discount and an interest-free payment plan on a solid mid-level phone was a decent deal regardless.
Wow, this is big for Linux & Nvidea isn't it?
I agree with you on Manifest V3, the restrictions are somewhat understandable if Google didn't stand to gain so much from blocking the behaviour they now restrict.

The Magisk project is kind of a weird one, I 100% expected Google to neuter that when the dev behind it got hired but it's clear that that's not happening.

SafetyNet is a requirement for almost every media company out there. Android would die a quick death if Netflix, Disney+, and friends would suddenly stop working because Google turned good and disabled SafetyNet. There are some enterprise advantages to SafetyNet as well, sometimes you want to be sure that some internal applications work on phones with internal security intact only.

As always, if you don't like the product, vote with your wallet, or in this case your data. Don't use Chrome/ium, don't sign into your Google account, download from F-Droid and Aurora exclusively and root your device if you wish. Firefox is still a decent mobile browser, despite Mozilla's efforts to change that.

/e/ is an excellent replacement for almost the entire Android ecosystem and I think if that became popular among non-techies, Google might start to listen. It might also not and Android might be doomed, but it's worth a try.
Shingles is very commonly brought on by stress. It's latent chickenpox virus, which is usually kept in check by the immune system, but stress depresses immune response.

I had a coworker who developed shingles as we were nearing the deadline on a project that had all sorts of problems in layers of the stack we didn't control, and my sister developed shingles after being laid off. The first thing I associate with that disease is stress.

The plot seems unrealistic then, based on human history, at least as portrayed through the book Sapiens. The author notes that it is through the memetic exchange of ideas that we created civilizations and took over the planet.

You should know that COBRA can be retroactive.

You do not have to sign up when you terminate your employment. You can sign up when you actually need medical care that you want to be covered. Though, at that time you have to pay back for the time since termination.

It makes it a little easier to walk away and "hope for the best" on the healthcare front.
Nvidia... THANK YOU!
I am not sure the comparison to regular tools is very accurate.

For many people, programming language and compiler/interpreter design is one of the major parts of computer science that they are interested in. Language development is an entire subfield of computer science on it's own!

Languages are a lot more deeply complex than what they may appear on the surface, and choosing a specific one for a specific task is also a little more complicated than choosing a nail vs a screw, with the tradeoffs not always being so clear cut and there being many more factors and "dimensions" at play. Style is also a big part of it, with some people just preferring certain styles and opinions more than others.

Nouveau is still needed if you want open-source userland; the new nvidia open source thingy is only kernel-side and presumably works only with their own userspace drivers.

So I have an acquaintance who is a sneaker head, and they spend wayyyy too much money on shoes. For most sneaker heads, the Nike Air Jordan 1 is the ultimate pair to acquire. Old ones, new releases, they all sell for exorbitant amounts, and the games necessary to acquire them are legion. Or you can just go on StockX and pay the going rate.

So the other day he sends me a pic of a pair of AJ1s that are the "banned" originals that the NBA told Jordan not to wear. They were in mint shape, and that's unusual in kicks because the glue binding the soles to the leather usually breaks down. Any foam padding usually breaks down too, so a pair from 1985 would look like crap. Yet these looked perfect.

Now Nike re-releases AJ1s all the time. But they're not the same as the original, for a variety of reasons I won't get into. And people want the original style, or as close as possible to it.

Turns out there's quite a few people crafting "new" AJ1s that look identical to the 1985 AJ1s. You can even buy them with authentic soles. These shoes are handcrafted with really well dyed leather, the correct stitching etc. They get the soles from buying beater kicks on eBay etc, or you can even send in your old shoes to have the soles re-used.

I owned an original pair of AJ1s (not the banned version) from 1985, and there was only one detail that was overlooked. My friend didn't care, but it annoyed me that they had missed the detail. And then he told me how much the hand-crafted versions were selling for.... $800. This was back in the first part of the year, and now the prices are like $1250.

The same companies will create bespoke editions for you, typically starting at $5K a pair.

Cuben is actually now known as DCF and not exactly the same - it is a laminate (not a woven fabric) like silpoly or silnylon. There are products that are very similar to silpoly or silnylon that are essentially woven UHWMPE fibers (dyneema is a brand of UHMWPE along with Spectra) either with a waterproof coating like the above or laminated to a layer of plastic (like Mylar) for waterproofing.

There are also lots of other woven UHWMPE products (like cut resistant gloves), etc etc etc. While these are somewhat expensive now I do not see any reason why they have to be super pricey if production was scaled up significantly. Garments made of UHWMPE would be impressively durable and resistant to heat, cold, chemicals, and other environmental hazards. As far as I know noone has yet to make woven UHMWPE with fibers as small as we get from Nylon or Polyester but if that could be innovated it could be a big game changer.
I had a similar situation with Physics PhD a few years ago. Now things have turned, I'm doing my startup and we urgently look for people like you.

Since I don't want to tamper my anonymity here, let me tell you a few tips:

First, find out for yourself whether you want to work in enterprises or startups. Whether you want to apply scientific methods/conduct private research or not.

I had a clear idea for myself: startup+research. Once you know this, you can basically let yourself "go with the flow": Look up interesting people and topics (at TED(x) conferences, at youtube, at fairs or conferences) and ask if you can work with them. Works best if they are CTO/CSO at their startup (such as I am) :-)

> Can you name any candidate that wouldn't harm any group?

No, I can't. That's the problem with voting for representatives or officials—you inevitably end up voting for a politician. The candidate pool is made up of people who see force as a reasonable means for solving problems, real or imagined; those who don't see it that way have more productive things to do than run for political office in a system they consider immoral. Occasionally you get an idealist who thinks they can change the system from within, but it's too well entrenched—the corruption ends up infecting them instead.
Wow, that's hilarious.

Hey man, my first year at summer camp all I did was basket weaving, leather working, and pottery. I originally planned to do swimming and some other adventurous stuff but was too overwhelmed by the swim test to be allowed in the lake and had a bit of a meltdown before changing course. I spent the whole week chilling in camp or the crafting grove working with my hands - it was great.

A few years later I went to a different summer camp as a senior patrol leader and finally got my swimming badge along with canoeing and rock climbing - that was a great week too. Point being: there's value in the "boring" stuff, maybe even more so now that I'm established in my career and looking for a little more peace these days. Lately I've been strangely interested in weaving and am thinking of making a simple loom - maybe this goes back to my basket weaving experience when I was 10?

Most hardware wallets use the same standard to generate your keys (BIP39, BIP32 and BIP44 I think) from a long recovery phrase of words. So you could for example restore your wallet in a wallet software if your hw wallets dies. As long as you have all the words and the correct order you should be able to restore your funds somewhere else.
With this announcement, I'm now interested in trying out some Nvidia graphics cards on the Pi again. Nouveau had some issues, and the official drivers had no source available, so I couldn't hack them to work.

With the source available... it could be possible! Of course, CUDA support may never happen there, at least not using open source code.
If they did, they would had enough votes to win popular ballots. They don't, they need biased electoral system that guves more power to minority.
Scheme is a lot smaller, simpler, and more elegant than Python.

Though I like that Python takes some inspiration from Lisp, it has a lot of unnecessary complexity and inconsistency which leads to a lot of gotchas.

Python's additional syntax make it less readable and harder to write for me than Scheme. It's only more "beginner friendly" if you're used to Algol-like languages, otherwise Scheme is simpler to understand.

Just my 2c

This doesn't actually solve the major standing issue with Nvidia's drivers as far as I'm aware, because the biggest thorn has been the secretful FALCON units, and the code signing of firmware blobs that's kept projects like nouveau from being able to gain traction.

Remember, it isn't enough that the kernel module is FOSS. The firmware is where the crux is.

It's good advice for any abbreviation to define or provide the expanded form the first time it's used; The A11y Project does this in the top heading on its home page, "a11y stands for accessibility." It might be helpful for the project to include that explanation on every page, even if it's just in the footer.

"a11y" is useful as a hashtag, is shorter and easier to spell. A11y is a good search term; content containing "a11y" will be about digital accessibility. Content containing "accessibility" could be about DNS issues, account authorization, or a number of other topics even before search "helpfully" expands the search to include "accessible," "access," and other terms.
Thanks for doing this. Looking over some of the actual call sites and there commentary was interesting.

For all the folks who say it's all totally innocuous (or even beneficial). Even if it is, I can tell you, I have no interest in my computer doing this while I'm using it.
> but talking to friends about favorite video games while weaving them was like free therapy.

This is backwards. Your friends aren't cheap knockoffs of a therapist. Therapists are people you pay to pretend to be your friend.

Most animal feed is the byproduct of things we are not eating[1]. This same study also address the land use concern. Most of it is not fit to grow crops with. I agree that people should reduce meat consumption but I find the general framing around this topic to be dishonest.
