Improving legislation is a dead end strategy. Look at politics in the last 2 decades after 9/11. We have increased surveillance in every part of life. Sure, the largest amount of users doesn't understand or mind surveillance because the dangers are abstract right now. They will understand later when the owners of information use it against them. You could never achieve a success that way. We increase security without there being a problem, it is an intrinsic characteristic of old and aging democracies it seems.

No, the only strategy is to create realities just like the internet did with its inception, just like encryption was established. We would never have it if we tried to legislate it into reality.

Additionally legislation is completely ignored by state actors that put the population under surveillance. The battle for legislation was lost.
Wagtail for Web CMS. It's powerful and well thought-out with all the Django goodness.

Plone for CMS that goes beyond web content, and in security-critical environments. About 7 years ago, I lead a team for a Fortune 50 to build a CMS which was a knowledge base for hardware and software products, intranet for their supply chain team, authoring/publishing environment for technical manuals, vendor extranet, and distribution platform for device OS images. That project is still going strong and once or twice a year, I get a call from one of their engineers/devops asking for advice about some new functionality they're adding to it.
I have a suspicion that almost every immigrant to the west is close to a horrendous story like this one.

My family were immigrants to the west as well and also had a crossing-the-water story. Nothing happened, but friends had stories about falling into the water and having to swim. My oldest cousins still remember it.

I acquired a teenage sister after turning 20, suddenly. A friend of the family brought her as the child of a woman he'd married, and was now divorcing, forcing them to return home. Turns out, she was not the child of this woman. My parents had a couple of days to decide to keep her, as the guy had decided to leave for the old country to look for another wife.

This is not even the only terrible arrival in the West story in my own family, but I'll spare you the other one.

I suspect if you go eat at certain ethnic restaurants in the major UK cities, you will meet someone with at most 2nd hand knowledge of sitting in the back of a truck going under the channel.

When I investigated the immigration stories is friends, the most reasonable ones seem to be from parents or grandparents who came in the 60s or earlier. Sailors who happened to decide to stay in the West, that kind of thing. After that most of the stories are hairy. Escaping some regime, crossing water in a crappy boat, that type of thing. Not a whole lot of current dinghy-over-the-channel stories, but that mainly owes to my age.
I believe that the more glycolytic the type of exercise is the greater the impact. Thus, higher intensity exercise is preferable if the goal is to improve insulin sensitivity which I reckon is a transient improvement and that a lot of it is thanks to GLUT4-translocation within the muscles in response to the exercise. This translocation means that less insulin needs to be secreted to deal with carbohydrates after training.

It is pretty common for police to have first responder training, as they are often literally the first to respond to medical emergencies by dint of already being in the area.

OTOH, if you are responding to a scene where someone's head is bashed in, there's really not much point in attempting CPR...
they need better leadership. As of now i can see we will observe huge amount of terrorist activity.
No.

Some people say artificial sweeteners have bad effects on your insulin metabolism because your body reacts to the taste as if a slug of sugar is on its way. But it must be complicated by conditioning; seems like after years of drinking it, the association would weaken.

I don't know of any reliable results on that.
It needs some work but it goes like this:

Estimate X is 10000 (amount, time or whatever). It will come from A (5000) B (3000) and C (2000). A will come from A1 (500) A2 (1700) A3 (1300) A4 (1500). A1 is derived from A1.1 (200) A1.2 (200) A1.3 (100). The deeper you go in the analysis the more difficult it will be for anybody to check all the data and prove you wrong.

I manage most of my investments through my bank: basically funds that represent a certain part of the industry, managed by external firms. I have invested in quite a few different ones, everything from the technology sector, to biotech, to emerging industries funds.

Compared to about 5 years ago, the total value had increased by about 40% from what it was initially. This year? Everything's back to around 0% - some of those are in the red, some have measly value increases, but overall it's just like stashing money in a sock somewhere, instead of actually investing it.

In a sense, it's telling of the greater situation economically - and that's even when you ignore the funds that had some Russian investments as a part of the portfolio (the trading of which was suspended altogether).

When you consider the inflation that we're having here (Latvia) and now also the situation with the overall value of Euro, it doesn't look too good, to be honest. But hey, I'm paid comparatively little anyways and people working at US companies probably make in a month what I make in a quarter, so no point in crying over insignificant amounts of money.

I'll continue to have some financial stability, just will never have things like nice cars or owning my own housing at this rate.
Yes, 100% efficient. But a heat pump is over 100% efficient because it pumps in additional heat from outside instead of just using the electricity's heat.
During many years, I have been very fat and all attempts of losing weight have failed.

Eventually, I made great changes to what I was eating and I began to weigh everything that I ate, to ensure that I eat no more than planned, and in somewhat less than a year I have lost one third of my previous weight, reaching a normal value.

Previously, I have not been drinking much Pepsi Cola or Coca Cola, but I have been drinking a lot of various fruit juices, all of which contain excessive amounts of sugar.

By far the most effective change in my eating habits, leading to weight loss and better health, has been to stop drinking any other kind of beverage except water and herbal teas without sugar.
I assume that would reduce lottery proceeds significantly so is a nonstarter. I know the numbers, but I'm not so sure it's always illogical (in a human/emotional sense) and you get quite a bit if middle class people playing when the payouts are significant. YOLO
Thanks, that's exactly what I meant!
I think Bose has always been an outsider in the audiophile community due to their more innovative and less ‘purist’ approach.
Re: their noise cancelling headphones- I understand that for many years their aviation headsets have been the market leaders in large part due to this feature and this transfers down to their consumer headsets.
Which appstore is going to allow apps that implement these protocols? They will just be forbidden. Back to square 1.
But the serious part of my point is that the eye didn't evolve in a vacuum. It isn't "just a sensor" in an evolutionary sense because it evolved along with the brain and other senses as part of the holistic vision system. It's not like the brain is born with a blank slate and the eye as a sensor. It comes prebuilt with firmware and drivers, so to speak. That's then catalyzed by experience.

I think this is part of the problem in computer vision. Everyone just takes cameras and stitches them into a computer, hoping to be able to figure it out. It basically doesn't work. I think there needs to be embodied vision. I'd love to see any research that explores this. I have an intuitive suspicion that our vision system and processing is tightly bound to our body, in particular our neck and hands and legs. (This is unfounded, since I'm not a biologist or cognitive scientist, and is just my naive hunch. I'd be surprised if it's far off though.)
Do you have any real evidence that poor people would prefer a 1/300M chance in winning the lottery versus a guaranteed paycheck for their monthly expenses? I would love to see the proof for your assertion.
is it just caloric absorption, or are various essential nutrients also absorbed more and less? asking because coffee can speed up my transit time dramatically, and I'm always down for cutting calories!
Thanks, interesting link.

In attempt to tackle the economic crisis that the Turkey is in, last December the Turkish government introduced a banking instrument indexed to one of the USD/EUR/GBP currencies where you can put your Turkish lira and earn interest of up to %17 but if the Turkish lira loses more value than your currency of choice the government will match the difference. So at the best case you earn up to %17 interest and on worst case you don't lose in terms of foreign currency.

Anyway, they made it available to foreigners too in attempt to have the Turkish diaspora in Europe and UK bring their money to Turkey. Unfortunately it failed to fetch any significant demand and BBC Turkish made a small documentary with the Turks living in the UK and talked with them on why they did not took the opportunity.

The answers were actually shocking: Turks were working illegally so that they don't pay income tax and receive state benefits and as a result they couldn't put their money in the banking system because Turkey started sharing data with EU and UK. It turns out, there are many Turks who are officially unemployed but are actually working illegally and not paying taxes.

I don't deny the existence of leeches, I wish they were caught. EU made a significant progress with the Turkish cheaters and their money is no longer in heaven in Turkey.
So true. He should go do the 4X4X48 challenge.

Is the broadcast Streamed live on Feb 22, 2020 still running or not? It is not. When re-enabled a new broadcast will begin.

> The titles makes it seem them streamer is gone/ended permenantly.

No it makes it seem that the continuous running broadcast was ended. It doesnt suggest the account was banned permanently - "YouTube Bans Lofi Girl" would be misleading if not a straight up lie.

> YouTubes DMCA policy is well documented with abuse and general nonsense sometimes

This comment is misleading. sometimes???

> but credit is due here when they do the right thing and figure it out

Designing a system whereby the known copyright owner can be claimed against and the claim acted upon with zero review or thought seems like they are not doing the right thing at all. making an exception for a high profile channel is not an example of "figuring it out", its slapping a bandaid on a shotgun wound.
You don't need to interpret what Musk might mean. Musk publicly predicted people on Mars by 2025, then 2026, then 2029. He predicted a million people living on Mars by 2050. He has been specific, if not consistent.

I don't see how humanity will go backward if we don't colonize Mars. That's the kind of thing a cult leader says.

In the meantime Musk is squandering $44bn to buy Twitter just to show that he can.
If you buy a lot of brand new AAA games with all the DLC it'll be expensive. If you buy a few games, old games, games on sale, and play them for a long time, it's a lot less expensive. You also don't need as expensive of hardware to play old games.

Ignoring who is wrong or right here - you made the claim, it's not very helpful if you refuse to substantiate it or suggest someone else needs to substantiate it for you.

Airplanes don't land in trees either.

If you want something capable of driving down a street, you need something that can navigate and interact with the environment at human scale.

An approach that would work, albeit slowly, is the one I outlined. The current model of trying to push something out NOW so we keep the stock price up, clearly hasn't worked, nor is it likely to.
"would have been a great NFT project "

My favourite from the comment section on the article.
No, that sounds highly implausible to me. A guaranteed paycheck of $1,000/month to every American (in current USD) would be way better than what I suggested. This idea presumes scarcer resources.

I'm talking about something more like the difference between a 1/10 chance of $1,000/month for a year with a new drawing in a year vs $100/month for a year every year.

I have occasionally thought about so-called "economic uncertainty" over the last couple of years. When I was in undergrad a long time ago, I had a course that touched on cultural differences. One of the claims was that a significant difference between, for example, American culture and several Asian cultures was that Americans tended to be okay with high uncertainty, while Asians preferred low uncertainty. (Let me say for the record that I have no idea if this is true or not; just something I came across in university.)

While the thesis was that this difference held true across many aspects of life, one possible implication was that Americans tended to be more innovative and risk-taking, while Asians tended to be more risk-averse (and conservative in approach) and less likely to fail when finally making an attempt. Maybe this was like "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" versus "look before you leap" mentalities.

Then suddenly in the past 5 or 10 years, I have heard and read so many American business leaders and pundits whining and warning about uncertainty in the business climate. Taxes, regulations, supply chains, demand risks, or whatever else, I don't even know. I mean, I understand that uncertainty is a massive risk for entrenched incumbents and stodgey old behemoths, but I have occasionally wondered where the spirit of innovation, risk-taking, and, as TFA discusses, adaptability has gone. (It's all gone to start-ups, of course; maybe?)
Long before my notice period finished (3months) I had, everything I owned that was company property, already returned to them.

Almost one month of free time. Spent that time learning new stack and landed a job that paid me twice as much as the old one.

In Europe its not so bad to get some spare time while still getting paid.

Friend was in similar situation, but he had 3 months of paid free time.

There have been plenty of attempts to modify gravity, general relativity, etc to explain the anomalous behavior at very large scales. None so far has come close to a satisfying solution which has testable effects and doesn’t introduce inconsistencies with already observed behavior.

Clearly there is a gap between theory and reality, the best candidate right now is that there is a whole lot of matter out there which so far we can only observe through its gravitational effects and which does not interact with electromagnetism.

Without much knowledge it’s easy to say “why don’t you just” but plenty of people have been trying and finding nothing that works or explains anything.
the flipside of this is the attitude that suffering and deprivation is virtuous if it is mutual, that you have a 'responsibility' to buy in to a failing and now outright neglectful educational model out of poorly conceived notion that this is leveling the playing field. it isn't, it never has and it never will. the parents who compound the maximum advantages for their kids will win out and the ones who can't or wont will be stuck with another decade of 'no child left behind' given a new, vaguely utopian name.
Exactly. But this laissez-faire approach is politically untenable. People would need to be distracted from that while simultaneously be empowered to educated their kids so they are able to deal with such content.
I wonder what the going rate would be to deploy airbags at the point of impact.

Sameish numbers here. I thought KDE doing just as good (and even slightly better) than XFCE (in the RAM department) was kind of a well established fact at this point.

What weird hill are you trying to die on here? You're saying that 150 of a watch means it's mass-produced, ie that there's a heap of them, that they're made en masse, in bulk, whatever terminology you want to use. You understand that because it's exactly what you were getting at. The point is that 150 of them is still bugger all.
Or not. If you've been living under a rock, crypto prices are deservedly going through a rough time.

Of course I wish he never has any problems ... but on human rights and fairness grounds, not because he's a famous athlete. Others in similar situations might not be celebrities.

Everything has downsides as well.

In the case of the unions, the plus side outweigh the downsides.

It is a pity that one country that fought so hard to have them a century ago after its first capitalism collapse, nowadays has a society that pushes back to a feudal system (aka gig economy and perks instead of salary/decent work hours).

Pyroprocessing was AFAIU developed so it could be done completely hands off. But that produces metallic fuel which is poorly suited to water cooled reactors.
I use it to load books onto a kindle and to process ebooks. I like adding metadata, making basic style tweaks or edits (like fixing OCR typoes or em/en/- mishaps), and tagging and cataloging. There's a setting to load all files plopped in a directory into the calibre system, which is both accessible through the GUI and as an author-grouped directory structure with standardized filetypes, which I find quite helpful. Also useful is the DeDRM plugin to make books bought from Amazon or Google Books accessible with any format (plus all the other benefits of DRM free media, like customizability and portability).

One aspect of working with digital books I haven't solved yet is syncing bookmarks and highlights across devices, or making them easily searchable. I'm sure there's a plugin or tool which makes it easy, yet I just haven't found it yet.
You mean Libya that was bombarded by France and other European militaries with relatively small US involvement? The same Libya that bombed planes[0][1], killed people in front of embassies[2], helped prop up monsters like Idi-Amin[2], waged war against Chad[4] and Egypt[5] and suggested breaking up Switzerland because dictators son brutalized his servants[6]?

The country which was in midst of protests which their government, dictatorial btw, decided to violently suppress?[7]

Yeah, nice guy all around that Gaddaffi. Oils the only reason anybody would want him gone.

I've recently read some deliberations on that here:

https://acoup.blog/category/collections/total-generalship/

Many pre-modern armies couldn't really be commanded around the battlefield much or at all, and indeed if they could (to limited extent, eg the Roman armies) then there'd be severe limits on command propagation (horseback rider reaching a centurion who then needs to get some trumpets sounded, but there's only so many trumpet sounds you can make and train troops for), plus the general (and everyone else) have an extremely limited view of what's going on to start with. The author states that it wouldn't be a very enjoyable game if all such dynamics would be simulated.

But I myself would like to see some studio take a stab at something like you suggest, and see what comes out!
No. I want fewer police, and more mental health, parks, and educational services.

And even if I did, the standard for getting a gun should be higher than this.
Fortunately she believes she is popular and is busy prepping her bid for PM, at the moment.
I understand the why - the state felt challenged - ultimately when the state is the supposed victim, the crime is inherently political. It’s nice to see someone in this thread acknowledge the political nature of his situation and thus his status; elsewhere in the discussion there is some pushback.

My primary point is that the Sackler’s company actions have a body count that is sky high, and they will walk with a monetary fine. This is because they accept the primacy of the state, and the victims are not as important and it may be dealt with as a financial compensation issue. That result is as much about the primacy of the state as it is about the standing of the Sackler’s in American high society. In other words it looks like two justice systems: one for the rich, and one for the proles.

In Ulbricht’s case, the hypothetical dead in the murder for hire allegation are known to not exist - the state admits to fabricating all of it. Well not all of it, they claim he was aware, and that he believed their lies. I wouldn’t be surprised if that part was a lie too, since they are admitted liars to achieve their stated goals.
The purpose of a gift is to be given/received. It is given to convey a sentiment.

What you do after receiving it is entirely up to you. Don't fall into this trap of feeling obligating to keep an object you didn't ask for, nor expect. Love people, not things.
