Can anyone explain why the query without having needs 14 separate queries? That seemed insane to me.

It seems like the author is using one query per country. Where it seems like you’d just group by country and year, where country <> US

You would need some unions to bolt on the additional aggregations, but it’s more like 4 queues, not 14

Eg

select c.ctry_name, i.year_nbr,
sum(i.item_cnt) as tot_cnt,
sum(i.invoice_amt) as tot_amt
from country c
inner join invoice i on (i.ctry_code = c.ctry_code)
where c.ctry_name <> 'USA'
group by c.ctry_name, i.year_nbr
I wish we had a way to just enter all measurements and filter out clothes that won't fit. Clothing sizes are still in the middle ages, with the same unit meaning something different with each manufacturer and not everyone even uses the same units.
Money is just a promise.

It is a formalisation of "Bill, here's a pig, owe me one". Then Fred does some work for you and you say to Bill "don't owe me, owe Fred".

Humans know who they owe and who owes them. We write it down when society gets too big to hold all the people we might owe in our collective heads.
How does this compare to Common Lisp or Scheme macros in in terms of amount of code needed to generate things? How does it compare in terms of what kind of functions and instructions are used? Can one use standard Java language to use it? Could one for example throw a for loop in there or directly write something like "class Point { ..."?

Some huge damage to the planet here for very little relative reward. No comment on how the rainwater distributes these chemicals, too. Also no mention of how firefighting drills with modern fire suppressants at airports and military bases have poisoned the earth and local water supplies; it's not just the rain that's a problem.
With both lambdas and @ComeFrom instructions[1], it’s impossible. I’m impressed that a feat of modern programming (say, started with Java 8) makes the code difficult to understand.

This is revisionist nonsense. Ancient texts, both sacred and secular both describe a extant caste system.

Full Self-Driving Capability

All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.

The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

-------

It never once says or implies Full Self Driving is available now. Tesla intends it to really be "full self driving", when it's ready and has regulatory approval.

Ask around about the big things everyone would like to change and where the scary code is that nobody wants to touch, and with those things in mind, fix some bugs.

That's exactly it.

We're not trying to use computers less, we're trying to be used less by computers, specifically someone else's computers that they've so pervasively embedded into society through monopolistic practices that would make Rockefeller blush.

That would make it seem that the lengthy hybrid discussion in the blog is a misdirection.

I will grant you that this does support your argument.

EDIT: Actually, what you have said does not seem at all correct.

In DJB's Apon complaint, we find this text:

'For example, in
email to pqc-forum dated 30 Oct 2019 15:38:10 +0000 (2019), NIST posted technical
comments regarding hybrid encryption modes and asked for feedback “either here on
the pqc-forum or by contacting us at pqc-comments@nist.gov” (emphasis added).'

If hybrid encryption is entirely beyond the purview of the NIST PQC competition, then why did this discussion and feedback request ever take place?
Mmmh... no.

I grew up and learned programming in that era, bought magazines, typed pages and pages of listings.

98% of the listings in these magazines were BASIC, 1% were assembly, and the rest was... well, others.

LOGO was a niche language then, and Forth even more so.
The reason why monkeypox is so prevalent right now is because the way it spreads isn't limited to gay sex, despite what the mangled messaging around says. It spreads by any sort of close contact (including bedding and clothing), and there have been many straight individuals turned away from testing because they weren't deemed 'at risk' despite them having all of the classical signs of monkeypox. So it ends up spreading among crowds like swingers and what not most publicly, while privately it spreads among the more traditional crowds that end up not getting tested.
That's exactly why the LGBT community pushed for the term 'non binary'. People mock a lot this term, but it's raison d'être is teens or young adults not feeling like the gender they are for multiple reason, one of which being attracted by the same sex, and one which 12 years ago was considered by my LGBTQ friends as the principal: feeling like gender stereotypes from your parents/environment crushed you. Your dad calling you 'not man enough' or your mom saying 'man up's when you were sad. Your mom calling you a tomboy and unattractive, forcing you to wear dresses and heels.

With the ease of gender change surgery, this term is even more needed than before imho.

And i feel like for an anglo country who worship Hamilton, this is weird to be against more information tbh.

As a sibling comment points out, they got only 30% of the votes and they came into power only thanks to the broken political system that allowed the president to appoint whomever (on threat of dissolving the assembly), political manoeuvring by a guy who thought he could control Hitler (von Papen, and spoiler, he couldn't) and the previous guy on the job (von Schleicher) insulting the wrong people.
Oh absolutely! Browsing through these pages today, I find myself reading the ads a lot more than the actual articles, which haven't aged well.

But back then... man, these ads were cancer and they made up 80% of the weight and price of the magazine.
> They sure as hell had it much worse after

Which is very different from your original absurd claim.
> There is a ton we do know. From literature/art to archeological excavations.

What do you think 'we' know? Is 'knowing' even a group activity? It is not of course, we can only know what we personally verify.

Now you can say that you are familiar with what an archeologist has written about what he found, but it is another thing to look at the sources for yourself and see if you concur with the conclusions.

I'd be interested to hear more on how you know so much about your family in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially if they were poor. If you have good information and sources that would definitely be unusual, at least as far as what I have found. Most people have hardly any records of their family history.

> So you deny the rights of a community of people to decide what they deem legal or illegal ?

That’s irrelevant. Whether a community has a right to pass laws based on the fact that they are against trans people is not the issue. Whether people are. manifestly against trans people is the issue (and they very clearly are.)
I agree completely. I have a large collection of original shellac 78's some as early as 1930's as well as true vinyl LP's from 1970's. They all sound terrible, what make them cool and collectable is the originality, not some magical thing about them being on shellac or vinyl.
The new digital sound quality is far superior, hands down.
Buying a reissue vinyl is a waste of money IMO.
The letter said LGBT books for kids were added to the library. The flyer made LGBTQ CONTENT AND PORNOGRAPHIC SEXUALLY GRAPHIC MATERIAL 1 category. They didn't say there were pornographic books in the kids' section.

The letter said Gender Queer was placed in the library. The flyer said it was discovered. Where did you read it was prominently displayed?

I looked up Gender Queer. I can't say if it belongs in a public library because I didn't read it. But it seemed like the explicit drawings were a small part and had a purpose. Graphic and pornographic are different.
I was expecting this to be a lot worse before I saw the example, since most of the data is already public. Even if you set your account as private, the name, ID, location, description, avatar etc. is still publicly visible.

The worst part is that you can find the email address and phone number, but in order to obtain that information, you already had to have one of those. So you can't just take a random account and find out their phone number if you have no idea what email/number it is already registered to.

>2. are there encryption methods that actually do not suffer from reductions in randomness or entropy etc when just simply running the algorithm on the encrypted output multiple times?

I think all block ciphers (e.g. AES) meet that definition. For AES, for a specific key, there's a 1-to-1 mapping of plaintexts to ciphertexts. It's impossible that running a plaintext through AES produces a ciphertext with less entropy, because if the ciphertext had less entropy, it would be impossible to decrypt to get back the plaintext, but AES always allows decryption.

I mean you're quite frankly arguing with a straw man, and being vague with the word "healthy", no trans community is advocating that taking opposite hormones is physically healthy.

They push for it because that's the only viable option for them to appear as the opposite gender which helps them mentally.

Although it is funny you're in a way talking about how men are turning into femboy meme.

Then you know all that is to be known about what an human is.

You don't need to understand "dolphin-ness" to know that by enabling a dolphin to talk or fly you created a post-dolphin.

Post/Transhumanism is not just about physical changes. Those changes , of course, will create/lead to philosophical/metaphysical questions, but no one understands transhumanism as a "branch of philosophy that questions itself about ...."
they dont. Libraries are financed at county/town level, and if you live in a rich city (like menlo park) you will not see peasants from poor cities coming to your town's library.

Local taxation and financing is exactly economically conservative view when rich towns get gorgeous libraries, while poor counties get very bad libraries.

Idk what the effect of taking blockers for 3 years and then realizing its a mistake would be. Do you experience puberty for the same duration, to the same extent? If youre male, are you going to be shorter for instance?

Regarding clothing, maybe its just wrong to emphasize gender in the first place? I think a lot of people are cool with kids doing whatever, its just weird when the people around them start really reaffirming the decisions made by someone we dont trust to have autonomy in most things.

Maybe transgendered people have some biological or psychological drive thats distinct and not related to the people around them, but if I were around this rhetoric as a kid I can very easily see how it could have wrecked me, considering how I dealt with the subject of gender from pre to late teens. Maybe itd be a worthy price, Im skeptical but trying to make sense of it
Now you assume this wouldn't be something that is common for most mammals. In places where there is always sun there is no reason to evolve away people having more sex when there is sunny.

Meanwhile here in northern Europe we get markedly more children during March-April. Which of course could be a sociological thing, or depend on something else, but still.

You're right, but the damage is not squarely due to customer or the packaging design. Some of the boxes arrive at my doorstep (from Amazon or what else) has clear shipping wear on it. It has banged around in the box, thrown around in an envelope, etc.

The box is worn, but the product is not damaged. Even I return the box unopened, the seller can't ship it back out. It needs to be renewed again.

Good point but I believe the issues are dissimilar. With downloading you are dealing with 100s of millions of people who can trivially foil all efforts to stick them with a bill with a few clicks.

Return fraud is orders of magnitudes smaller and as it involves physical goods changing hands spoiling anonymity. A single user committing a single act of fraud might yet retain relatively good odds but a massive portion of fraud as with retail theft is perpetrated by a minority of offenders which could well be correlated by requiring an ID for all returns and dealing with a tiny number of major offenders very harshly.

An environment in which you hear news about fraudsters facing prosecution or financial ruin would be perceived as riskier further dissuading offenders.

What you mean by that? Except for "mind uploading" I don't see what you referring to...

Like the Iron Age didn't succeed the Bronze Age in one night there is nothing to understand or to prepare to pass into a "transhumanist society"... because we already are...or even we always were.

I've used them. They're pretty comparable to the average textbook. Maybe a few more typos than some 31st edition (which fixes a few typos and swaps the order of a few common homework questions so you can't buy the last edition) but it's ... fine.

There's some textbooks that have more personality. But the OpenStax books are pretty much the same as any other mainstream book (the kind that are assigned to most classes).

Maybe the calculus class was just boring? The textbook is there as a baseline to cover the derivations, example problems, and how to do them. I can think of plenty of reasons why a calculus class is just boring (too hard, too easy, or it's taught in a boring way).

What might be going on here is that the UV induces radiation damage, which leads to endorphin release as part of the body's response to injury and pain.

I know how dangerous sunburns are but if I was a rodent I would likely seek ways to repeat the experience.
