There's definitely precedent - small math conferences are often held in interesting locations, and everyone gets a travel grant to attend. Just need a couple meeting rooms for the sessions during the day. The more niche the field the smaller the conference - not talking about big resorts here.

Machine Learning Summer School (MLSS) used to have some nice locations, don't know what it's like these days.

You could go with a name brand, Brian Greene type. Like a "MasterClass Live" type thing.
Just looked over my notes. It was not email addresses, but a collision of two separate UPC codes concatenated with a timestamp. We never figured out which UPC codes it was or the timestamp (this was picking/sorting software for a warehouse in 2012). I wasn't there when it happened, and only heard about it after the fact (I was on my honeymoon). It crashed the software pretty hard.
I neither know nor care, but I'm grateful it is because it made me chuckle.
As often as not, those are precisely the people using these weapon words.
Is this surprising? Polities care about things happening in their backyard, and societies' goals tend to be much more pragmatic than what it says on the tin. The Palestinian situation is happening in their backyard, with people whose history is intertwined with theirs, and a refugee situation that affects them directly. There's not a country in the world that doesn't ultimately prioritize geopolitical concerns and a heaping dose of "people who look like me" prioritization.

For example, it's not "surprising hypocrisy" that Israel has a problem with racism towards some Jewish ethnic groups (Mizrahi, Ethiopian), despite Israel's supposedly deeply-held identity as a homeland where all Jews are welcome.

Note that this isn't a criticism of Israel! Just an acknowledgement that everywhere, people are people, and most people happen to be monsters. The fact that Arab countries care more about Arabs than a Muslim group halfway across the world seems almost tautological to me.
These are MIR books afaik, where would you get them?
The only wealthy state neighbouring the Palestinian territories is Israel (which is in some ways more of a suzerain than a neighbour).

Anti-semitism went through the roof when Zionists started taking large tracts of land for a new state that wasn't recognised by its neighbours. Pan-Arabists and muslim groups, knew their land could be next if the precedent went unchallenged and stirred up bigotry in response. The hatred was initially more of the idea of Israel than of Jews.

And they were prepared to throw Palestinians under a bus too, banishing them to a multi-generational life of homelessness and refugee status rather than allow full citizenship, so as to keep pressure on Israel and prevent normalisation of the situation. Of course they don't care about Palestinians either.

Now, in the Gulf states it's about business. Outside the Gulf States it's about domestic politics. But beneath the bigotry, the principled opposition to land annexation by foreign powers still remains.
I've found that the funds are generally quite clear where the money goes. Givewell have a separate fund for EA infrastructure.

A logical conclusion to this is that, if you begin the order flow, you will discover the price before finally submitting your order.

Enron signed a 30 year, $100 million contract for the naming rights to the Houston Astros stadium in 1999. Less than two years later, it was revealed that the entire company was essentially one big accounting fraud.
That looks like my dream keyboard - except it isn't available with an ISO layout :(
Yeah, it doesn't seem super usable for anything that might have to deal with external resources that you cannot control, such as databases or HTTP APIs.

I also went with keychron a year ago and I’m very pleased. My only complaint is that battery is shitty if you use the wireless mode with the led backlight on all the time (it will last about 4-5 days max).
I don't think I agree with that. Java isn't static. Python isn't static. C# isn't static. These are some of the heavy hitters in terms of total number of users. Stability is valuable, but popular languages still manage to add features to keep up with changing needs. Even C isn't %100 static.
>This is what Putin says.

Yes it is. Everything he says is propaganda, but not everything he says is false.

>Moreover, he argues that Ukraine has never been a real country

This is bullshit for the domestic propaganda mill. The equivalent of Iraqi WMDs. It's disconnected from the geostrategic reasons for the invasion.

>Unfortunately, this argument completely ignores the will of Ukrainians

Yes, just as WMDs completely ignored what was true and what was false. Grist for the propaganda mill is not designed to be true its designed to appeal to domestic audiences (& eastern ukrainians who are pissed off that their politicians are imprisoned, their media is shut down and their language rights are revoked).

>They did not want to join NATO because they wanted a war but because they wanted to avoid it.

I cant really believe that. Zelensky chose the exact point when Russia started sending troops home after months of saying "dont join NATO" to say "we are absolutely committed to joining NATO". They were years off membership at this point and had thumbed their noses at minsk 2 for six years. I cant really see any other reason to choose to say that at that particular time other than as a geopolitical "come at me, bro".

I think plenty of Ukrainians do want NATO membership purely for its defensive protection, just as cuba wanted nukes for domestic protection from US invasion.

This isnt why NATO wants Ukraine though. They want to use Ukraine as a bridgehead to balkanize Russia.

I have no idea what Zelenskys thinking but he either wanted this war, is a colossal idiot who sleptwalked into it coz he had multiple chances to avoid this invasion and turned down every one.
Yes, there's an actual no-till movement with organic farmers as well. It's popular for two reasons:

- It's a lot less work (no tilling, less need for getting rid of weeds). Especially for private gardeners, interesting to know probably.

- You can actually get good results with it. Healthy soil means plants have an easier time (less pests and diseases, which are generally signs of plants not doing great).

Simply using nature to work for you instead of trying to against it can be a huge time saver.

IMHO there are a few positive trends in agriculture:

- farmers are starting to like some of the organic farming practices. They work and produce good results. Also the produce is more valuable.

- high tech farming is all about being smarter with resources; including water, soil, labor, energy, fertilizers, pesticides etc. Low tech, intensive farming is mostly about blindly doing things at scale. It works but it isn't necessarily very efficient.

- vertical farming is much more efficient with land and increasingly used for producing high value produce. There might be some future breakthroughs with more nutrient rich things like rice or grains but that seems to be not possible currently.

- synthetic meat grown in a lab gets rid of a lot of CO2 issues associated with cattle.

So, the agriculture sector might look very different in a few decades. Plenty of new and exciting things happening.
>This is the new normal and is largely all an entire generation of farmers knows.

That might be true for farmers, but what about big/institutional farmland owners? If the practice is killing future productivity, surely they'd be incentivized to protect their investment? If you're a landlord you wouldn't be cool with renting your units to some crackheads for "the biggest short-term payday".
I'm familiar with the use case for this. I don't want to use the same keyboard for work (typing) all day that I'd use for gaming after work. I also don't want TWO wired keyboards. So if I can have a wireless gaming keyboard that I set off out of the way during work, and then can push my main keyboard (wired ergonomic membrane) out of the way and use the gaming keyboard (wireless mechanical), I have the ideal input device for each use case.

(If the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard came in wireless, I'd get one - one less wire making it sub-optimal when I'm ready to swap keyboards.)
Substract from that how much money you made from Iraqi oil and how many houses/infrastructure you destroyed there and the result might be negative, and that's for a single country.

This whole charity idea is stupid if you're a country like the US, it's like kicking someone in the balls then giving them an aspirin for the pain and bragging about how generous you are.

I have notice the uptake of extremism in tech, especially among those who frequently use Twitter or Social Media.

It's so risk-free that they have a clause buried in their T&Cs that states that crypto is risky and that they assume no responsibility for any losses...
yeah it's a naive take.
In my case, for the G710+ case especially, I did my research, understood what I want, did additional research and pulled the trigger.

Being happy with what I've ended with, I didn't dive deeper into that rabbit hole, because I have more important things to do than tweaking keyboards.

I'm like that. Do my research, pull the trigger once, consider the problem solved and move on.

Having many hats and ambitions limits one's time considerably. I for one only have tonight to be at home at dinner time, incl the weekend.

Sorry for not being able to live up to your standards in the mechanical keyboard realm, however being a sysadmin and programmer, I think I can want a dependable and semi-decent mechanical keyboard. Considering I've grown up with some of them. If you permit, of course.
That only prints file and directory sizes, not lines of code. Counting lines of code correctly is the hard part, though Ted's utility is just using a simple file line count as a proxy, though that's probably good enough for this purpose.
Even if the article is paid for the readers expect them to do some rudimentary level of gatekeeping.
And when the mining stops, all its value vanishes. Value stored on jelly. Bitcoin has a runaway implosion mechanism built in, and no floor on its price except 0.
Oh I completely agree that that’s the effect. There were still rules, and I’m pretty sure there were even reminders sent to people breaking rules in ways that were legitimately bothersome (albeit without the teeth of enforcement fines), they just eliminated the problem of the petty rules cop fining people $50 for having their lawn a half inch out of spec.
In the last three decades of having the opportunity to learn and use TeX, i have managed to avoid it. In the same time i've helped a friend with word processing for her dissertation. I'm still not sure how we managed to get it to work with all the horror stories about data loss and Microsoft Word at the time. But it did its job and I'm still in the WYSIWYG camp.

many of us choose crypto for this reason, it isnt backed by military force. it is backed by the work and collaboration and agreement of people all over the world.
Obviously there are tradeoffs involved in using containers. But aside from that, they also don't typically get you platform independence by themselves unless you also choose not to use any other cloud features (e.g. object storage, queues, IaaS, "serverless" features like DO Functions or Lambdas, key management services, IAM-type services, etc.).

In my experience, it's building for the cloud as a platform vs targeting a pre-cloud infra that ties you to a particular cloud. You can obviously DIY all of that in your own containers, but then you're making a choice to invest in infra instead of buying it.
> I don't get who this product is for, other than maybe someone who has heard mechanical keyboards are cool but is daunted by doing any research into what mechanical keyboard options exist out there.

I agree. For this price you could buy a great keyboard from Vortex with swap able keys .. which click the way you like it.
If crypto disappears today, ransoms will still be prevalent, but will be much higher as they will be more difficult to pay. It's not a new incentive at all, it just opened up the ease of payment.
Wow, that's really motivating to hear, thank so much :)
> Apparently some kooks decided to take over the term and others decided to yield it to them

They did that in the early 1920s. Do you have any sources for the alternative biodynamic agriculture you're describing, especially the use of that term to describe them?
I'm also italian

Turns out our system, while based on the same basic principles evolved in a very different way from the UK/Germany etc

For the UK the main difference is that most of their governments are majority governments, due to their electoral system either labour or the tories are going to have (in 90% of cases) an outright majority, so the government (at least the PM) is going to be pretty much known as soon as the election is over

In germany/the netherlands they have more often coalitions so you don't know until after the parties have negotiated post-election. This is closer to what we have in italy, however there are two differences:

1. There are strong conventions about the larger party taking the head of government position, something like what happened with the Conte I government where two parties agreed on a government but had to bring in a "neutral" PM does not happen abroad

2. Governments are more likely to last the length of the mandate, specifically it's quite rare to have governments fall and bring in a "governo tecnico" headed by a neutral PM

So turns out that other countries are much less used to have the PM be someone that hasn't campaigned at all

A third difference, in which italy is quite unique amongst parliamentary systems, is that both chambers have to give their confidence, almost everywhere else it's just the lower house, while in italy also the Senate must agree to a government.

This is similar to how the European Council also has to agree on the EU commission members but very unlike other countries, where the upper houses are at worst symbolical and at best very constrained in their powers

waht i absolutelly hate about "mechanical" keyboards is that unnecessary long key travel which makes typing slower. and that constatn freaking noise is cancer.

Please don't put your retirement savings in fine art or antiques unless you have spare funds that you can stand to lose. Collectibles consume wealth (maintenance costs) and do not produce it, so the only way you can make money is by accurately predicting what will be popular and paying to hold onto it for years. Most art and antiques decline in value over time, but you can get lucky. You should absolutely buy art that you love and can afford, but you should think of it as a consumable that can retain some resale value (like a car) and not as an investment.

Rural land is a slightly different story, as there is some underlying productivity there (e.g. agricultural use, or maybe there's something to mine), but tundra real estate doesn't sound like a great buy.
Really cool, I did something similar for a university project where I had to implement a Minecraft clone. I don’t remember all the details, but I used multiple, differently scaled Perlin noise “textures”, a 2D one was responsible for the surface terrain (which determined the type of the upper n percentage of blocks there), another 2D managed the height at each block column (with some interaction with the terrain texture’s value?), and a 3D one was responsible for caves under the surface. It was my first try at anything similar and a surprisingly easy code generated surprisingly good results.
Before 1967, Egypt controlled Gaza and Jordan controlled the West Bank. They administrated those territories in a far worse manner than the Israelis currently do.

The relationship between Egypt and especially Jordan and the Palestinians is extremely complicated. Consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September

I just read synopsis of a book titled "Fashion Figures". Following is the excerpt from that synopsis:

"Missy Maker is a middle school girl who loves math and fashion. She sees math in everything she does. She tries to hide this from her friends, because she thinks it's too geeky. Missy hears that the school math club needs more members, but she's worried about what her friends will think if she joins, and she's already committed to joining the fashion club."

The book is about "Gain an inside perspective on what it's like when you love math and science and happen to be a girl."

Is this true? If so, why?
I gave a cursory look at it and it's really too niche, complicated for its own good IMO.

I spent several years at a SaaS which was plagued with toxic positivity. The underpinning platform was slapdash and took 4x the expected time to add features because of it. Yet the GM walked around trumpeting that we were fielding a best in class offering.

Any mention of the reality of the situation was met with replies about not being a team player and showing negativity. It was an absolute morale killer for the development and SRE teams charged with on-call rotations which resulted in exhaustion and frequent outages.

Start-up code is often naive and hastily put together. Growth pains are expected as customer count and revenue increase. Don't bullshit the situation with false positivity. Address the issues and live to fight another day.

In the end, that SaaS has slowly faded away to obsolescence due to the lack of honesty about the actual state of the union.
Sure. But none of that speaks to whether to the alleged usefulness of Bitcoin. It has failed in every way to prove itself useful in any context it has been billed for.
> a functional currency should, by definition, not be a good investment

yeah, I've seen it said a currency that's a better investment than the economy it serves is a self-defeating abomination exactly because it incentivizes people not to participate in productive activity
Your comment could be read like: Muslim people "support" Palestinians because they are antisemitic... I mostly disagree.

1) While antisemitism was prevalent all over (including in Muslim countries) the world before Israel existed, we've seen a shift in the Arabic world, and more generally in the Muslim population, after the creation of Israel, and the series of conflicts ensuing. e.g. Before the creation of Israel Jewish and Muslim lived in relative peace together in Morocco. So a case could be made that antisemitism is ALSO driven by how Israel was created and behaved (and let be clear, I condemn antisemitism).

2) Jerusalem is an holly city of Islam (and of Christian), so of course, any big thing happening there against Muslim bear much more weight ! This point is not necessity linked to antisemitism.

3) Israel became also the symbol of "Western imperialism" and of the humiliation of third word, and particularly of Muslims. That is a "Western country" that is seen as having stole the land of people and evicted 700.000 people. That is a country that continues colonization, evictions and repression... while being very actively supported for decades by US. This symbolic weight also explain why such attention.

4) And that is an old story, with many episodes. Just like a good TV show (with all the element above), when you've been exposed to many episodes, you are more keen to see the new episodes...

DoughnutHole answered you about the refugees. Some countries also support(ed) financially Palestine and Palestinians (in Palestine or refugees).
> Science is empiricism. That is it. It is the idea that a theory about how the world works must be put to the test through experimentation. And it is also the idea that all theories are forever subject to falsification. There is no space for arguments form authority, personal preferences about how nature should work nor dogma.

Sounds great to me, can't think of a better way to go about learning things well enough that we can say we know them to an extent.

> But this is exactly how many contemporary "defenders of science" are treating science: as an authoritative source that must be trusted.

If not results from scientific methods, then what's the alternative that should be trusted? The part that's forgotten is that the body of scientific knowledge is constantly updated. They're merely the best answers we have at the moment, not final ones.
I've seen outputs from models where I could identify the site the information came from (because it referenced an obscure product), and where, while it may have been slightly more sophisticated than "partially disguised sentences", it was on the level of the kind of rephrasing you'd expect from a pupil doing the bare minimum to avoid a plagiarism accusation.

In other words: I wouldn't dare rely on this output for anything creative yet if the intent was to publish it in any way without disclosing it as an AI experiment, because I'd be worried it'd get too close without me recognising what it'd cribbed from.
