Personally I hope this expensive boondoggle built by the worst space company of the last decade gives us a huge fireworks show tomorrow and gets promptly cancelled, like it should have been a long time ago.

A classmate of mine went unconscious, fell forward, and smashed their head through a glass coffee table, so I wouldn’t say “no risk.” Yeah it’s “technically not the nitrous but gravity!!!”, but that would be pedantic.

Oh, it's absolutely not easy finding that niche content. You're going to need to swipe past a lot of cleavage to find anything else. To get more of whatever you're currently on, re-watching, liking, commenting all probably work. To get less, either swipe past quickly or long press (I think?) and you can choose "not interested" or something. I think there are other ways to block particular creators and sounds (and maybe filters?) if you don't want to see that specific thing.

The search does leave something to be desired - the app is very much designed for just endless scrolling.
There really needs to be a consumer law to ban hidden fees... Without that they will continue to exist.

For example, I can browse airbnb on the French website, or the australian website, and I get the real total price. But if I browse on the American website I get a fake price (which can be much much lower than the real price).

Google flight is pretty good as it shows "estimated prices" and not fake prices.
> The overwhelming majority of people probably know just as much as you and I do about the uses to which TikTok puts the data they gather.

As a very technical person in this industry, do you really think you don't have a better understanding of the data TikTok collects and what it will be used for than Average TikTok User?
More generally: continuity from one image to the next

If you want a set of images with the same artistic style for example, especially a distinctive one, that can be hard to do

If you want a set of images starring the same recognizable character or object, in eg. different situations, that's gonna be real hard to prompt

It should be simple enough to have a baseline allocation, along with an increased price after that's used up.

It's also worth noting that water probably doesn't need to be very expensive before usage starts getting curbed quite heavily by the main consumers. If there's no price, might as well use as much as you're allocated - there is no direct consequence for doing so.
Because the quality control rot is not something that most people are prepared to accept. Most people are unwilling to accept that things have gotten worse.

Best Buy will be gone soon. The only thing keeping it alive is legacy competitors (Circuit City, Sears) dying first and handing over rotting corpses of business.
It does actually work really great. With old sites going down from time to time and DMCA requests making it difficult to find new piracy sites via search engines, having a list is very convenient.
Actually probably makes less than zero sense.

If a customer is using an ad blocker, and they're on your site spending money, then they got to your site without you having to pay anyone for their traffic. They're already higher margin than a customer who you'll have to pay a conversion fee for if they make an attributable purchase on your site.
Literally all they had to do was make this vaccine optional. Say "hey this vaccine is available. Here is the data we have. We recommend taking it, but of course that is your own decision."

But because of the attempts to force people to take the vaccine (which I did take, btw), trust has already been eroded.
I thought Fall Or Dodge In Hell was pretty good, probably just because I don't know anybody else who has tried to answer the question... what would it be like to be reincarnated in that way?

Here's some zoom-out options.

If you travel a lot and have to work, you need mobility, but possibly not as much as you think. If compact wireless input devices and a hotel TV, borrowed screen or correctly configured tablet may be adequate, then you only need a compute box not a full laptop and you can consider higher end ARM boards and a purchased or custom battery bank.

If you don't have a huge travel requirement, you may be better off buying two desktops than one laptop as they are far cheaper, easier to maintain/repair, provide better input devices, better and far more upgradable. Carry your data around on a USB stick or SSD.
It was, now it's been reflagged.
I just tested moving the ecoflow to another room (both door closed ~5m between the ecloflow and the monitor) and used an extension cable to power the monitor.

The issue is still happening.

Unfortunately I don't have a different HDMI cable at hand now. I'll test another cable as soon as I get my hands on one.
Yeah, Money is the system. The more you have of it, the more you've won. It can be measured in terms of dollars or when you compare countries it's GDP or GDP per capita.

You can get all moral about it with his opinion or her opinion or whatever and I get that happiness != money and all that jazz. But in general the one quantitative metric closest to the concept of "winning" is money.
I thought the point was mainly

"Because certain senators wanted the SLS pork and they had to have a mission for it and Mars was too complex"

And then after the moon was decided on they made the other points up as justification. I don't think NASA was really bothered with going back to the moon.

I mean seriously..

1) Humanity has been to the moon, that's the most important thing. What genitals or colour they had doesn't matter for science. They can be the first on the next small step for a woman. Like Mars. Which would be even better than having to not so boldly go where men have already gone before.

2) This isn't even a real plan yet. Something you may or may not do in the future is now a reason to spend tens to hundreds of billions? And why the moon? Other locations make more sense from an orbital mechanics point of view.

3&4) You don't need the moon for this. You can do them there, sure, but it's not a reason to go there in the first place.

5) Really what clues are there left on the moon? It's the most well understood.

6) The moon obviously has a much lower gravity well but really mining water there is going to be so costly that it is much easier to just bring it from earth until robotics improve. And then we don't need humans there anyway.

7) Ok back to the cold war are we? It was kinda a pissing contest the first time around (the 'conquest' of space didn't really net the US anything which is why the moon was abandoned so quickly). But ok, this seems at least a half decent reason in terms of the current geopolitical situation. Mars would be a much better goal though.

If fusion ever takes off then the He3 thing is another decent reason which I'm pretty sure it's why the Chinese are so interested. I'm surprised to not seeing it mentioned.

I'm not against exploration but I think we should be going to Mars and other places that are not yet explored by humans. And have much more to offer in terms of science. Doing the moon over again is just a distraction IMO. And pork of course. A lot of pork.
> Sorry to belabour this, but by "it" you mean the setting in about:config called privacy.resistFingerprinting right?

yes, it's definitely the about:config option.

>If so, welp, no idea (aside from the Nightly thing). It consistently breaks for me and others though. Guess you're just lucky.

Just for fun I tried with various VPN servers across two different providers and got

5 / 5 working on provider A

6 / 6 working on provider B

One possibility is that they fingerprinted me and determined that my fingerprint was "good" (despite having RFP enabled) and therefore all the subsequent attempts were whitelisted. The other possibility is that RFP spoofs the user-agent to be the latest ESR version, and this causes issues when you're using nightly because it might have different fingerprinting characteristics (eg. TLS fingerprint) compared to the actual ESR release. An anti-bot system might flag that inconsistency as suspicious and therefore ban you based on that.

Seriously? Why would I do 6 operations (select, copy, open notepad, paste, select, copy) when I could just do one?

The only argument I can see for this is if you already have JS disabled.
If the data was truly in dispute, it might be a worthwhile debate, but this paper is published by two people that have never published in the field before, and it's riddled with obvious and blatant errors. The fundamental claim, that there was no excess mortality in 2020, is clearly wrong.

This is nothing that is worthy of having a debate over - it's just disinformation spam. It would be like replying to every piece of spam email you receive.
>Everyone who pretend to be "politically neutral" will always be helping former.

I'll assume you mean latter, easy mistake to make.

Personally I find the "if you aren't supporting the ridiculous things we're doing you're supporting the enemy" argument ridiculous. I'm capable of thinking both need to seriously change, and think it's a better use of my time to try and change the Western Democracy I am a part of as it's supposed to change if I disagree with it. It's strange how that point of view gets me labeled a (possibly unintentional) traitor.

Yeah this design is pre-mmu and virtual memory, and NeXT/Apple solved it with bundles (store the streams as separate files in a specially named (ends in .app, .bundle, .framework etc) directory that the OS presents as a single file).

I... kinda want to see how this could be done with ELF now. It seems totally possible.
Recent ~forced Ubuntu LTS upgrade to 22.04 broke lots of things. They really need to improve their testing processes.

Yes! Even as a viewer, you're (very intentionally, I'm sure) lulled into a Vegas casino-like sleepwalk of infinite scrolling.
edit: never mind i had somehow missed the GIMP Python extensions. So extensibility is not a point in favour of Krita, though looking at both APIs, I prefer the Krita API though that’s subjective
Sounds about right for a government program. SpaceX is putting them to Shane. We should just shut NASA down and privatize it’s functions. Maybe it won’t take so much time and money to actually do anything.
> ....and no one ever mentions the third part because it was so long and poor that the book would be better without it.

The consistent thing about Neal Stephenson books seems to be that nobody likes the endings. In a way, I guess we want them to go on forever?
I was the first hire at a company that grew to 5 people in total. I got told pretttty much everything, though usually after the fact. Business decisions I was sometimes asked for my input but with the knowledge that I was just providing my opinion rather than it being "a vote".

There are no secrets in a small company.

When we went under, I wondered how it was that we had run out of money. The boss was always transparent about cash - I was always able to look at the books, and I was aware things were getting grimmer by the week. In the last week or so he took me through everything. Lawyers are expensive :(
I do not want to see it fail. I want to see the SLS launch be a complete success. Everything we've dreamed it could be, finally. I don't want to see all the pork-barrel waste of money literally explode and be for nothing.

But if it does, I hope it leads the US government to change course on this nonsense.

We need to switch to purely fixed-cost contracts, that do not pay in full without full success, for all space launch related endeavors.
You’re thinking of Riker, LaForge, Worf, and an (unnamed?) civilian as assisted by Troi in season 6’s “Schisms”.

> This is whataboutism

This is contemporary liberal anticommunist whataboutism. Whataboutism once described when you point out bad thing X someone else is doing, and they respond by pointing about totally unrelated bad thing Y that you're doing, such as when the USSR responded to the US criticisms of their economic system by pointing out that the US was an apartheid state. It's an ad hominem.

What you're doing is yelling about your neighbor beating his wife when you're also beating your wife, and you're not going to stop beating your wife.
It just sounds like a lot of work trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. Point taken that the content (maybe) exists on the platform, but if I can't find it what good is it? As essentially a worldwide daily competition for virality, it seems like it'll trend to what is mass entertainment.
What's to say the ad blockers aren't visually hiding upsells though? This might actually cost them a lot of money. There are plenty of visual hiding rules in the most used blocklists.

It's always fascinating to read people's takes on Stephenson's corpus.

For me, Cryptonomicon to this day remains one of my most favorite books of all time. It harkens back to Douglas Adams and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in that it meanders through what many would describe as filler. Some seem to dislike that. To me it helped paint such a great picture.

I guess some people are more interested in the destination than the journey. Stephenson is much more about the journey.

I love his description of those who just seem to have a gift for cryptography with the example of the street map of London [1]. Likewise his satire of academic writing with the paper on beards [2].

But it also captured (at least for me) the spirit of the dot-com era like nothing else I've ever read. It also wove together a cohesive mix of the (then) modern era and the code breaking of the Second World War (eg the abhorrent treatment of Alan Turing by the British Government).

I really don't know if it would translate to the small screen (it's too long for the large screen and it would be a crime to try).

Snow Crash, which I read years earlier, was highly memorable. It was really the closing days of the Cyperpunk era and I loved the world building.

Both of the above suffer from Stephenson's achilles heels: actually ending a story.

Anathem I also enjoyed. But the Baroque Cycle I never finished. I can't even remember where I stopped. I think it was early in the third book. I just found it so tedious. Early on I find it way more interesting.

Well, it depends.. are you talking about significantly mitigating harmful uses of stable diffusion or completely stopping them? The latter... of course it isnt going to happen but there are plenty of practical things that can be done to mitigate.
The most common form of one-time password is the bank tokens that banks give to online clients for authentication. Some banks only use the token's random number for logins, while other banks will ask for a fresh random number from the token for extra specific tasks while online.

Ah, I see people see this argument reasonable to dismiss out of hand.

I wasn’t aware that the C19 vaccines have been scientifically approved safe for use! Since these mRNA applications have passed numerous tests on humans with no significant side effects and harm, it must be indeed a preconceived brief to think otherwise!
The two researchers actually have a number of publications in data science, please sniff again. Your kind of argument is called a an appeal to an irrelevant authority. You also forgot to cite your sources or link to the data you are advocating for. Please consider taking the time to properly advocate your point
In the article, a Wizz Air rep explained it’s meant to charge bots and other automations for booking, but is catching users who use ad blockers as a false positive.
They market it as a pure sine power supply: https://eu.ecoflow.com/products/river-portable-power-station...

Is there another appliance that I can test to see if that's the issue? I don't have an oscilloscope.

Edit: I just tested powering it from a UPS: It's flickering more now and when it show the correct content it stays for a second more then when powering from the ecoflow.

The monitor model is: BenQ GW2780-T.
On the other hand, if your problem is with the thin portrayal of women, and you like a more conventional Space Opera kind of thing, Atwood isn't interested in "robots and spaceships and all that" so maybe try Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy ("Ancillary Justice" etc.)
All these comments and still no one really talking about their experience... For what it is worth, the biggest put off for me was that they no longer allow to export data in PostgreSQL compatible way, i.e. You are locked in when you start using them.

We actually had a term for that, informed consent.
The Russian Revolution was an outcome of many decades of events and revolutionary activities, which were hotly debated among dissidents and activists for many decades before that.
> TikTok didn’t, and lots of people think that they are just a cool app for teenagers to record their dancing.

TikTok was literally attacked by US Presidents of opposing parties in two subsequent terms, and has been credibly threatened with total bans.

So it's more like telling people China bad.
I think this is not going far enough. This is way too much code to show allowed transitions. IMO a state machine should be define first in a list of valid state transitions.

Perhaps something like this:

/// the states
states States {
Green,
Orange,
Red,
}

/// the valid transitions
transitions SomeTransitions for States {
fn green_to_orange: Green => Orange,
orange_to_red: Orange => Red,
red_to_green: Red => Green,
}

// now create a context
struct Context { /\* ... */ }

// implement the transitions
impl SomeTransitions for Context {
pub fn green_to_orange(self) -> self {
/* ... \*/
}
}
We did this for years at TMC and to good effect, the format was a monthly newsletter sent to all hands with sections for each part of the company (sales pipeline, past jobs, future jobs, lessons learned, finances). It was the glue that held us together across many years.
No I’m not because Adobe has pricing structures for non-profits and other markets.

In the context of this discussion, the question was why companies aren’t funding GIMP development, and the ones that can’t afford a $20/mo aren’t the ones who would be funding development anyway.

Yes, of course there’s a market for free stuff. But the price of admission into the existing paid for products is low enough that there’s little motivation to fund it.
Twitter's response was so soulless, it's unclear if it's a bot. This is what i find most unacceptable. Others have expanded on the censorship problem in this thread.
They do seem to have a policy of asymmetric warfare, for example turning a blind eye to the export of fentanyl. It's not exactly far fetched. See the book "Unrestricted Warfare" by 2 PLA colonels.

The CDC has routinely published junk science concerning Covid, yes. Is it all junk science? No. But they've proven themselves to be willing to advance "science" that is little more than propaganda.

Here's just one example so egregious that even the Atlantic had to call them out on it:

First rule of optimisation - don't.
Second rule of optimisation (experts only) - don't, yet.

However in this case this is the hot path half the internet uses (granted, M1 specific in this case), and a 6% speedup is significant. Some companies rewrite their SSL libraries completely to get single digit percentage increases in performance. When multiplied out over 50,000 machines, it's a significant business win.

I mean obviously TikTok keeps their data close so we only have anecdotes.

But anecdotally for myself and anyone I know who has used TikTok, the app is just so much more addicting than any other social media has been before. I'm not a social media newcomer, I have used social media nearly all my life. I have used instagram in the past.But never before have I felt the same addiction/compulsion that exists with TikTok. I don't think this is that unusual an experience, have you tried using the app yourself?
