If I'm reading the story correctly the villain is that lawyer who seemingly mislead everybody. The DOJ sought to prevent the loss of classified information which may or may not have ever existed related to spying programs that may or may not have ever existed. That's well within their responsibilities even if they were being overzealous.

I've never been one to put full trust in any politicians or bureaucracy but the balance of value is still overwhelmingly towards democrats. The odd botched investigation is a small price for supporting democracy, human rights and climate justice.
What is wrong with my question on delusional thinking? Is it not an active area of discussion among psychologists? Is it not important to understand what delusional thoughts are versus rational thoughts?

Looking back to when my father was alive with diabetes T2 in the late 80s/early 90s, nearly all the nutritional information turned out to be total bollocks. I would go as far as saying the information was seriously harmful. We still have a good way to go, but things are definitely night and day compared to 30 years ago.

Lol, what. American supermarkets and grocery stores are probably literally the best shopping experiences of any kind in the world. This is some lobby ass hit piece ass bullshit. Par for the course for this rag
Real reform is not palatable. The correct reforms include rotating appointments on the Supreme Court, abolishing the Senate, re-apportioning the House, and changing the presidency to have significantly less power. But something like this is not achievable with the current ossification of our dysfunctional political systems in the US.

Given that, I still believe ranked choice voting is the first baby step toward more representative politics.
Flowing water has insane amounts of energy even in tiny amounts. I would imagine that this affects ocean currents as little or less than wind turbines affect weather patterns.
All I keep hearing is that Apple is pouring a fortune into cracking this problem. They've certainly been snapping up every prominent person in the industry in the last decade.
Hard-power violence is mostly exclusive to governments, but don't underestimate the power of soft-power "violence" and coercion.

Another thing that sets the government and private sector apart is that the government is under (mostly, even if indirect) democratic control, or otherwise accountable to the public, whereas the private sector can get by with bad press, so long as they can continue to operate. As an individual of average wealth, it is far less difficult to influence government policy and politicians as opposed to doing the same to a private organization.

Really, this is not about choosing between "good" and "evil", it is about choosing which evil you are most likely to be able to contain.
Theoretically with all the tire wear, shouldn’t the road elevations eventually be much higher?
Boxes and arrows are a bad representation for complex systems with detailed relationships. Legible diagrams are limited to high level representations of a system where many details are left out. Constructing useful high level views of complex systems requires human judgement.

Generation of legible diagrams could be accomplished on a domain or framework basis where code is subject to local patterns and can be structured "for" generation. We see this with things like OpenAPI schema generation.

Ultimately I think diagramming isn't prioritized because diagrams themselves aren't that valuable. They're just a medium for the actually valuable thing: high level representations.
>Dear Spotify, can we just get table of songs?

No, you can't. This is a for-profit service, and a table of songs interferes with their ability to choose what you listen to, and prefer certain artists or songs over others. I would not expect a high-quality music library interface from any cloud provider, because the intent is to stream you the things they prefer, and not empower you.
> That's... I mean that's the FBI's job. That leak is clearly illegal, it's a crime. Their job is to enforce the law.

Ask yourself if the FBI is investigating the NSA. Did the FBI investigate the NSA before Snowden? You can enforce the law very selectively, prosecuting whistleblowers who are trying to reveal evidence of crimes committed by the government itself.
What's the definition of a planet's atmosphere edge? Does it just keep on thinning out to a light year and beyond or is there a clear transition?
What amazes me about Apple is that they have hardware and operating system that are really great. Every other software I have used that is made by them is buggy beyond belief. Have you tried Apple TV. I stopped using it not because of lack of content but was so unreliable to the extent that you feel like it says “fuck you”. You have one packet loss, your download is doomed. Starting is takes multiple seconds. Try to search something, the UI will freeze. I love Apple products and I hope they fix their services.
It happens in Spain as well.
I remember some time ago when airlines had paper magazines, there was a huge section just fur this. Not limited to Spain, but also UK companies.

I understand very well how other people look at it. They ignore logic when it is convenient. They say, "Yeah, look at those flat earthers, bunch of silly idiots", then turn around and swear they hear god speak to them at the same time. It's delusional.
I agree, spotifys ux is terrible. Nowadays though I dont notice it as much, probably because i use it every day. But I have complaints.

Ive mentioned it before but their mobile design sucks. I use it a lot in my car, so usually ill keep the playback screen open amd just swipe when I need to change songs, simple and probably safe. But if I swipe ever so slightly upward, it opens the lyrics function, so I have to look down, see what happened, swipe, then get back to driving. I get im not using it the way it is "supposed" to be used, but its an akward design choice anyways. When are the lyrics that on the fly important, and even when im looking at the screen I still mess it up.

That and the issues ive been having with the desktop app. Maybe its just my hardware but it never seems to just open om the first try, I usually have to close, then reopen it.
This is of course subjective, but I think the intermediate step with flat shading is the one I like the most. The initial naive shading looks pretty bad to me, while the final redesign is way too complex.
> The idea that because the courts will rubber stamp a warrant is not a valid rebuttal to unchecked power

But the crime is "release of classified material". That's not a rubber stamp, it's a clear allegation of criminal activity. I think your real feeling is that this material "shouldn't" have been classified (based on what you believe it contained -- the reporter never got it). And maybe that's true!

But the facts in this article are just OBVIOUSLY probable cause for a warrant, nonetheless.
One of the great things about print statements is that you can easily copy and paste them. Also searchable, as another poster has already commented on.

> big fraction of this could be done cheaper and with a higher agree of assurance by distributed ledgers than notaries

These theoretical benefits have been around for 10+ years with little to show for it. Ledger-based solutions tend to focus on a tiny technical step of a big process without considering whether that's a bottleneck or even a non-negligible part and whether improving it actually results in a better solution.

I used to sympathize and engage with the theoretical arguments; but at this point a more productive approach is: if the advantages are such and such, where are the companies benefiting from this competitive advantage? Maybe this competitive advantage doesn't exist at all?

In an IPO, the company sells a bunch of shares to banks, and this is a funding round for the company. The banks then immediately try to sell the shares at a slightly higher price to retail, and also collude and post a bunch of money on the buy side of the order books to give the illusion of demand. Psychologically this is commonly effective at getting retail to hop in front of these orders and purchase at higher prices and feel like they can sell at any time, leading them to be less discerning about what price they'll purchase at. And yes, they can sell directly into the stabilizing bid. It doesn't guarantee a price, thats too strong of a word for what this is. The bid can be removed at any time, the only thing exceptional is that the bid can be placed at all, as this would otherwise be sanctionable activity by the regulator or private litigants.

maybe it does not work within your current paradigms.

people never considered widescale remote work as an option, when it became a necessity, we found a way to make it work.

i don't like blanket "it cant work" statements - not possible for one person to have the perspective to make such a judgement.

people deserve to live a life of dignity, what's the point of progress if it does not benefit all of us. not everything has to be driven by cold hearted free market ideas. we did not choose to exist.
The only problem is that the car and cdr are not the first and rest of anything, when they are just used for tree structure.

Only when the tree structure conforms to certain conventions and intent of representing a list is the car "first" and the cdr "rest".

So of course those names are fine for nested lists: (ff '((a b c) d)): the "first of the first". But in, say, an assoc list ((a . 3)) 3 is not the "rest" of anything; it's the value of the key a.

The proposed functions go with the first and rest functions, rather than replace the cddr ones.

Now let's talk about something else: the order. In caddr, the order is just a condensation of the nested application of (car (cdr (cdr ...))), in the same order: it's easy to convert between the two, both actually and mentally. However, in left to right threading syntax, it's backwards:

(flow value car car cdr (+ 1))

corresponds to

(+ 1 (cdr (car (car value))))

so it condenses like

(flow value cdaar (+ 1))

You can see someone wanting a variant which has the letters in the opposite order.

With f and r functions, you can do:

(flow value f f r (+ 1))

which is almost the backwards "ffr" you might want.
During onboarding, the CEO told a story about how an employee's logic error caused a manufacturing plant to shutdown for hours. They of course corrected it, and production resumed, but the company was on the hook for millions in lost revenue.

Later that evening, the employee got a call from the CEO.

"I suppose you're calling to let me go."

The CEO replied, "Why would I do that after paying for a million dollar lesson?"

That's how I feel about nuclear.
so you can just quit and walk out the door?

strange country
Russia produces enough food, that we (=rest of europe) have problems if they don't export it and not vice-versa, they also have enough oil/gas, that again, we have problems, if they don't export it, they also have most of the raw materials available locally plus a lot of companies that produce everything needed for basic infrastructure.

They're also friendly with countries like china and india for the rest of the things they need, and have gas to export/sell to them to be able to pay for all that stuff.

I'm more afraid that Janez and Hans and Pierre will have to pick up crops to survive, and not Boris.

And it's funny, because this is a purely economical issue... pay more and you'll get workers to do the work for you. You cannot pay romanian paychecks to british workers.
Tacoma is similar in gameplay style to Firewatch, both amazing games.
The only reason companies like Telegram care about customer privacy is because that's how they sell their product and make money. They'll happily snitch on any of their users if doing so is more big-picture profitable than not snitching. You can never trust a for profit company bro, when will people learn this lol
Using iPhone 12 Lidar to Map Two Unconnected Underground Spaces
Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

Would I be OK if LinkedIn gave similar tools to recruiters? No, because an applicant has a lot less power than a company. But I can see that recruiters would want that. So why wouldn't we want that on our side?

The "hire for a day, then fire" issue is interesting. Companies would tread more carefully there, though. Once you've hired someone, then you have a legal relationship with them. In the US, employment is at-will, but protections for firing due to race, gender, etc. still apply. So there's a lawsuit threat that would make this a dangerous game for companies to play.

Other threads claim that Meta did not actually rescind - those were more visa issues. Why is this such a big outrage? Because it's a breach in the norms of how job markets work. Re your analogy - Coinbase would certainly prefer not to have all these people in a downturn. But it certainly has options that the person with a spouse with health problems doesn't have. For example, executives could reduce their compensation temporarily to deal with this. The entering cohort of employees would make Coinbase less profitable, but won't by itself cause it to fail.

Do I really think that the CEO of Coinbase would take a 10% pay cut rather than rescind several offers? No. But the point is that Coinbase has options that mean it can do the ethical thing.

There is no central storage of data, data are stored on each monitored system in a database called dbengine, that's all. Cool, right? They do have a data privacy page: https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/cloud/data-privacy

There is nothing paid, everything is free, both the agent and the cloud app. Do whatever you like with it. There is a pricing policy that will follow sometime in the future but everything that is free today seems that will remain free forever.
FWIW, I switched from Spotify to YouTube Music and both are certainly fast enough that it's not really something I think about.
Mobile phones an essential service?
It seems like a weird mia culpa. If I’m understanding right, they’re not sorry for sending the mailers, or working with a data broker to get the addresses, just for the fact that names were printed on the envelopes? I wonder who is concerned about the last one that isn’t more concerned about the first two.
I've written a few CPAN modules over the years but have never successfully used perl's interactive debugger (or, honestly, any other interactive debugger).

I do, however, know plenty of brilliant developers who can make interactive debuggers sing and respect different people preferring different approaches.

Note: If any of my perl code upsets the debugger it's because I didn't realise as a result of my preferences and I'll still consider it a bug.

Portal is an interesting case study in psychological torture. The cake (is a lie). The weighted companion cube(that you kill faster than any other test subject). The test result saying you are a horrible person and we weren't even testing for that.

It goes on and on. It wouldn't give it to kids that aren't old enough to handle complex and subtle emotional situations.

Not to say it isn't a great game, but the subtle violent atmosphere building up is a very core part of it.
In C++, if the construction fails (with an exception), no other member function - not even the destructor - gets called and the resource is not acquired.
> but the wording here is impossible to agree with

Why? You haven’t disagreed with my argument, only argued instead that winning against them is impossible so our only path is to submit and hope for incremental improvements by submitting extra hard.

These agencies only exist and operate (in theory) with the consent of the governed. In reality almost no one consents to this, so these agencies rely on mass apathy and ignorance. If we talk about what they’ve done wrong, and how they actively harm America a few things happen:

1) it becomes less socially acceptable to work for them, and they struggle to attract talent

2) it becomes more politically feasible to argue for their removal

The us-vs-them language is a feature, not a bug. People in large groups are (mostly) incapable of being both passionate and nuanced on the same subject. So sure, bringing up the children murdered by FBI and ATF at Waco doesn’t directly relate to ending mass illegal surveillance but it does help achieve the goal.

I don’t know if it was coincidence but I got two mailers the same week after I downloaded brave into my laptop, It freaked me out to think they already knew my address by just installing the browser. I hope everyone learns from this and use other methods of marketing for companies that market themselves as privacy first.
It crashes a lot on me on both the latest macOS and on Ubuntu 18.04.

That said, I'm not one to lose patience on FOSS and know it can and will improve.
Creating paper waste is making the world a better place?
I remember reading a blog post years ago (don't remember where or by whom, unfortunately) that claimed the compiler market was also eroded from the other end - many small-ish companies building compilers were acqui-hired by large companies trying to improve the performance of their RDBMS, so the compilers those companies produced often ended up as roadkill, or if lucky, were open-sourced (think OpenWatcom).

But maybe it just turned out the real money is in the tools - you can get all of Microsoft's compilers for free, but they still charge you big $$$ for Visual Studio, and lots of developers apparently are happy to pay that price. Intel still charge big bucks for their compiler, but I have no idea how widely used it actually is or what Intel's thinking is.
I would be very suspicious of mail coming from a company that touted privacy that had my name on it. Especially if I've never done business with them.

Brave is in a weird market. Unless you pay for it, you're still the product.

The best thing Brave or Mozilla could do would be to legislatively kill Chrome (and perhaps the iOS Safari-only policy).

With control of browsers out of the hands of advertising agencies (Google), these companies could then raise their rates on an acceptable ads program sans the tracking. More revenue, sustainable market, and better for the world.
So physical spam is their scaling plan?
> In all grocery stores I’ve visited, loyalty card discounts are clearly noted on the item's price tag. I've never seen any hidden discounts (or surcharges) that pop up only at checkout.

Yes. A surcharge won't show up there. The most common way to do things is to have a very high base price and give people variable discounts.

> decentralizing progressive sales tax collection is rife for fraud.

So is distributing sheets of paper that I can exchange for goods and services. It's pretty cheap and easy to do this and I bet it can be completely done offline with security good enough that the biggest issue will be retailers letting people skip the excise tax.

As a sidenote - why are people concerned with the government putting a sin tax on meat?
The FFXIII series did this really well. I took a year to finish FFXIII, and even with its complicated plot I was able to follow it because of the recaps that would be presented to me every time I'd start the game up. I think it's the best Final Fantasy ever made.
In Visual Studio if you drag the execution arrow up, it will rewind to that point. It works really well. It’s okay especially useful when you step over a line you wanted to step into instead.
