I read what I think is the Zhuan Falun years ago when the cult was newer and they posted documents online[*]. One of their beliefs that jumped out at me was that they believe that David Copperfield is an actual magician who is only pretending to be a stage magician, and was actually doing magic during his stage shows.

edit: The Falun Gong have three OTA broadcast channels in Chicago, but Iranian official government news is too dangerous for me to be exposed to.

> When I say the military, I mean, all the military, that's the minimum we the citizens of the world should be requesting.

You can ask, but you won't get it. Disarmament, and I don't just mean nuclear, requires a level of trust that simply does not exist, because a relatively small group defecting (in the game theory sense) would be able to conquer the world.
Slaboj Zizek had something to say apropos this that still troubles me.
Former Yugoslavia was obviously built on an uneasy, contrived social
balance, but it was not beneath the surface. According to Zizek humour
was racist, disgusting, commonplace and absolutely accepted part of
life. It started to disappear leading up to 1991, replaced by a
"chilling political correctness". He suggested that a culture of rude
banter was a necessary safety valve, and silence portends violence.
It seems plausible, but I've never heard another former Yugoslav
confirm that, and Zizek talks a lot of tosh sometimes.

Just as a note to other readers, this mod in particular "Reborn" is a completely different beast from the one you may have played back in 2020. The team from Tilted Phoques disbanded and reformed a few times, specially after some big controversies with SKSE that have been cited by other commenters.

This version "Reborn" is a complete rewrite of "Skyrim Together" which was available then shortly abandoned back in 2019/2020.

The team here has done a mind-blowing job, and this release in particular is extremely stable for what turning a singleplayer game into a multiplayer game is!
SKSE is reverse engineering of Skyrim, with a heavy amount of code that can easily be argued to be infringement if Bethesda wanted to. This means that if anyone has a bone in ownership, it's Bethesda, not SKSE.

Don't release mods or tools without open licenses for content you don't own. It's a conflict of interest. By SKSE "fearing it could be used for profit" they are harming themselves. Open license, ignore it. You don't have any responsibilities of how it's used. That is in part why open licenses were created. Negation of liability.

That said, yes, the Skyrim together project is a money pit that last I checked is unmaintained yet makes thousands a month. With a moderation team that is none too friendly and doesn't take kindly to legitimate criticisms.
It's propaganda though.

Some advertisers spend on relevant keywords, others pay for generalized brand awareness. Many do both.

Anything published by a government in a foreign language has an agenda. It's propaganda. In this case, "brand awareness" propaganda.

Maybe the goal is to promote tourism, or to give a boost to exports.

Maybe it's to keep the country/government in the front of foreign readers' minds, to foster a sense of commonality or appreciation.

Whatever. There's an agenda. It's worth discussing and thinking about.

Like with advertising, it's important to know what role you are playing in the publisher's agenda. Accepting the material uncritically is not a neutral position -- it makes you a unwitting player in their game.

You are completely correct that the US does it too, both internally (presidential mythologies, to use your example) and externally (Radio Free X etc etc).

I'm not sure what you expect. I'm not writing some law that won't actually be used. The idea should be easy to grasp - journalists publishing/broadcasting the picture/name of a murderer who is not at large will be fined. The fine could be set a number of ways, but should be substantial and graded based on the income of the individual and organization.

I think you're taking that "easy" quote out of context.
When money is allocated to create the methodology to affect climate, will money also be set aside to quickly decomission the implementation should unintended negative consequences be realized? In other words, is a "self destruct" mechanism funded into the design from day 1? Who or what is going to be the bubble-popper and how quickly will they all be tracked down and destroyed?

It doesn't even specify how many rounds of KDF are used in the readme. I really hope it's more than the default 4096. For reference, using KeepassXC, there's a "benchmark" button that finds the number of rounds for a 1 second delay and the number of rounds for my computer is in the 50000000 range.

Arrogant is a strong word and I think carries too fine a point.

The industry was interesting (bizarre) at the time in that the engineers were more or less left to run their domain. Upper management might give the overall direction of what to work on but beyond that there was not a lot of middle or lower management that could tell engineers how to do that.

This left a lot of the responsibility (and authority if you will) in the hands of engineering to accomplish what the company wanted. And so engineers chose code names. To be sure too they were not meant for (sanitized by) the PR department — they were strictly at the whim of engineering.

Engineers don't want to have to put on a "marketing hat", or get marketing to sign off on a codename (for chrissakes).

That one of those code names leaked somehow and caused bad publicity for the company — that was management's/marketing's problem, not the engineer's.

We're in a more modern era now where the balance has shifted to a much more top-down model — diminishing the broader role engineers used to have.

Incompetence is frequent and expected.

I did an assessment once where we were an add on to a third party platform. The assessor (from the third party platform) reports we are using a vulnerable javascript library! I said we're not even using that library, so he must've mixed us up with someone else.

Tons of back-and-forth emails. He eventually sends us a couple of screen shots from browser dev tools. It turns out the guy was talking about a library on their own platform. It took even more back and forth emailing, until we escalated and the problem was resolved.
The problem is that there's more than one view on ontology, and the dominant view changes sometimes.

Look at biology, where the knowledge is expected to be based on directly observable, highly repeatable phenomena like animals or plants. The tree of life that orders the species, families, etc up to the realms at root is constantly reviewed and reordered close to leaves, and had seen a few changes close to the root.

Ontology, being a lot less strict than disciplines studying more direct observation, would have much trouble producing a universally agreed-upon tree of notions, and a lot of energy would be spent around contested branches.

I suppose the only possible outcome is an ontological forest, or shrubs, like what we have now, which is only locally helpful.
Jews are not comparable to the Moonies. They are not a single organization but rather a loosely related set of varying ethnic groups and religious practices.

A better analogy would be to imagine people writing similar things about, say, the Satmar Hasidim. In which case it wouldn’t sound anti-Semitic at all (although I’m sure the Satmar might try to claim it was).

They're not arguing it's an economic harm to decarbonize, they're pointing out that it cannot physically be done, at all, without some way of storing energy.

This is needed because otherwise you'd only get energy when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining. This is especially true if you do not classify nuclear energy as green energy, but even with nuclear providing baseload generation you would want energy storage to truly take advantage of the energy that renewable sources can provide.

How is this anything other than an attempt to keep people from collecting evidence of bad police behavior?

Now that a large majority of people have a high quality video camera in their pockets, we've learned 2 things: (1) alien abduction was not real (2) police very deliberately kill members of racial minorities. I think this law is a reaction to (2).
I understand what you mean, some original creation needs protection if the author wants it, but this is not like a movie, the modders can demand money so the only protection they should get is crediting them for their work, why copy-right should protect stuff like "only download this file(that is not 100% original since is a derivative from Sky rim proprietary stuff) from this website" , or "do not make it easy for users to install my mod by making a mod pack" or "don't touch my mod , not fixes allowed, even if I am gone".

There are cases with mods that are broken now because of updates and because the author is not around to give their permissions the community can't put a fixed version up, they need to use convoluted steps to patch the original mod.

Would be great if modders would be inspired by programming open source/free software communities where at this moment you are allowed to fork and fix things, package/build for new platforms, mirror things on different websites.

The only significant difference between those models is the amount of data, the main(or the 2nd most important) reason why you're using a search engine is how much data is available on it.

If you want to search through an incredibly limited % of the web then yeah it can be a solution, but even the lamest search engine company out there would outperform a GPT-2 like model running from your laptop.

Tell me how this doesn't quickly devolve into a consensus-rules hellscape, where minority views are either ignored or certain minorities are artificially boosted.

There is no way that design choices (especially the ordering of results) can be made in a way that pleases everyone. So either you dumb it down to the point of meaninglessness OR you enforce a mainstream-only ruleset.

I ran it through Google Translate because I was curious. It appears to be something called the Unification Church?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Church

> The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, widely known as the Unification Church or Unificationism, is a new religious movement whose members are called Unificationists and sometimes colloquially Moonies.[2] It was officially founded on 1 May 1954 under the name Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HSA-UWC) in Seoul, South Korea by Sun Myung Moon (1920–2012), a Korean Messiah claimant also known for his business ventures and engagement in social and political causes.[3][4][5][6]

> The beliefs of the Unification Church are based on Moon's book Divine Principle, which differs from the teachings of Nicene Christianity in its view of Jesus[7] and in its introduction of the concept of "indemnity".[8] The movement is well known for its unique "Blessing" or mass wedding ceremonies.[9]

> The Unification Church has been controversial, with some early critics calling it a dangerous cult.[10][11] It also has been controversial for its involvement in politics, which include anti-communism and support for Korean reunification.
It's worth noting that this is a book review (though like all NYer book reviews, it obscures that info): Alexander Zevin, Liberalism at Large (Verso, 2019).[1] It's a deeply researched work of academic history. The examples given briefly in the review are detailed, sourced, and analyzed at length in the book. Perhaps the critics here will still be unconvinced; perhaps they (or others) will learn something new.

True, because Max comes with bandlimited oscillators and envelope

True. See above. A lot of things you'd make from scratch in Pd come in
the standard namespace of Max.

There aren’t meaningful disagreements in many disciplines as those who disagree and are smart are selected out of a field.

No, it is not possible to communicate any information by measuring one side of the quantum state. This is the no communication theorem: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem

This is an accounting problem. If you get your act together and buy a load of new hardware, hire staff to maintain it, there's a definite number attached to it.

If you let your teams get bogged down with crappy hardware and no support, you also pay, but nobody can count where the losses were and what they sum up to.

Like an invisible tax, you end up paying one way or another, but you'll never know how much and whether it was a good trade.

They haven't given up, they are staying exactly where they need to be.

All the mainstream search engines' priority is to maximize ad clicks/impressions (or collect data to target future impressions), either directly on their own property, or indirectly when linking to websites that embed their ads.

There's no reason why they can't detect ads or analytics and use that as a negative ranking factor (so that all other factors being equal, a non-ad-infested result would rank higher than the ad-infested one), but this would go contrary to their business model.

The thing you are missing here is that citations are often intentionally ambiguous as to whether they are neutral or negative.

I tease. But I do see the value of being mindful of cultural differences in companies that employ a diverse workforce. No, it has nothing to do with the taste of the orange juice, but understanding where your colleagues are coming from is still productive. The typical employee probably is unaware of cultural differences that might come up with colleagues from cultures they're unfamiliar with. I'm thinking mainly here of cultures that have different values or practices from the dominant culture in the company, like a devout Muslim or Orthodox Jew working for a secular American company.

Though, yes, people who build their career on diversity tend to go a bit further than just preventing stuff getting lost in translation across cultural divides, probably for similar reasons to why brands can't just be left alone.
Yes. It’s the accompanying suggestion of using github or gitlab that means it’s centralised.
