> Being a native Spanish speaker, I am accustomed to knowing how a word is spelled just by hearing it, although there are some cases where there might be doubt (like the homophones b and v, or the always silent h) […]

And then there is the double l, «ll», which is pronounced as «y» in nearly all varieties of Spanish. But, yes, the Spanish spelling is far more regular and straightforward compared to many other languages.

> Now, Finnish? It's way, way more regular.

… at this given point in time and history. The relationship between the spelling and the pronunciation is a notoriously complicated affair due languages being living things that keep on evolving with the spelling and pronunciation inevitably diverging over extended periods of time. There is not guarantee that, for example, either Spannish or Finnish will be pronounced the same way in, say, 200-300 years time as they are spelled today.

Different languages with their respective writing systems have resorted to different ways of dealing with the problem. English and Icelandic, for instance, have retained most of the historical spelling representing the no longer accurate historical pronunciation (with some complications), whilst, for example, Tibetan (being one of the more extreme examples) and Burmese languages have retained the archaic spelling in its entirety – both are spelled today using the pronunciation that existed hundreds of years ago. Other languages have resorted to regular historical revisions of spelling rule to purge obsolete spellings or even purge the disappeared sounds, e.g. Russian.

On the opposite side of the spectrum we have Chinese characters that have remained [mostly] unchanged over a very extended period of time, however, the pronunciation has changed several times, i.e. 越 as /*ɢʷaːd/ in Old Chinese -> as /ɦuɑt̚/ in Middle Chinese -> as /yuè/, /yuht/, /yad6/, /oat/, /uêg8/, /hhyq/ in modern Chinese languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew and Wu, respectively).
Yep. The old wacky tobaccy will make you do that kind of thing. Back in the ‘80s I managed to go through an entire bulk warehouse sized box of Cheezits in an evening… dipping each crispy cheesy square in a quart sized jar of butterscotch Carmel sauce.

I often get up at 5 to have my top 2-3 hours of energy and calm. Let me note that I gained in perspective and THIS is something invaluable and productivity-enabling. Other than that, try to resist.
Also, Zuck said that a significant portion of them were deranked... it could be 99% of them for all I know.
“Guessing the 5 missing digits” isn’t exactly trivial, there are thousands of combinations. In the US you might figure out the area code, but good luck if the person isn’t a local (or if you just entered a random email).

Also I don’t see the rest being true. If I only enter my phone number, it still asks for the password. And I can’t reset my password unless I also enter my email address.

I do agree though that probably they should just email me instead if I forgot the password.

There is no net positive impact from social networking services, or indeed any other medium powered by advertising where the operators thereof have realized that hatred can be monetized. People have always disagreed with one another and clashed over political views... but only in the last 15 years have people been so polarized, and I think we can directly attribute it to conditioning as a direct result of participation on networks that incentivize people to consume hatred for clicks.

In Chicago they sell some pretty heavy duty umbrellas because the wind is very strong. I've since left Chicago and do cherish the umbrella I got there for how heavy duty it is and the fact that even monsoon level winds will not flip it inside out due to the reinforcement in the frame and fabric.

I guess we just hope and wish that a restaurant would have a "terroir" for a certain type of food or flavor they are good at or something authentic in any way. My soaps from Unilever will at least be different because the recipes are different, but something tells me those soups from that kitchen all taste the same.
If that isn't what happened, the response isn't convincing anyone, and clearly isn't meant to. This tactic concerns me more than any figurehead.
What non-Chinese options do hobbyist boards have? NXP chips seems almost impossible to get for the hobbyist market. I’m not sure why. Broadcom for the RPI’s we’re probably only possible because the creators had worked at Broadcom.
Same.

The author says when you enter an email, an SMS is sent and number revealed.

What really happens is that it asks me for a password. Below that there's an option to get a one time code. Clicking that reveals the first digit of the area code, then the last 4 digits. You must then click yet again to make it actually send.

So in short, it didn't immediately send an SMS and never showed the full number.
There's nothing in the article about a machine which identifies suspicious information, or information control, or an apparatus of repression. Perhaps you're referring to some other thread?

There is however, an open-source AI, and a github link to it. If you're familiar with Python you can literally read the code yourself and look for anything nefarious.

What was funny to me was the name "Taste of China" and when you look at the menu, none of it refers to common chinese food. All of it refers to indian food.
I have to disagree. Nowadays, limited liability companies are literally an optimization mechanism for turning profits.

Believe me, if consumers were not aware and the law not enforced, there would be (are ?) companies making clothes in slave-like conditions.

This nicely did the trick! Adding the line at the top of /etc/pam.d/system-auth makes sudo authenticate use the fingerprint, which is nicer than always typing my password and gives a streamlined experience between SDDM and sudo.
nobody was prevented from discussing it. Facebook just didn't disseminate the story

Facebook didn't disseminate it so you never got the chance to start discussing it.
This. Forums live and die on moderation. I've seen a forum self destruct and it isn't pretty. We can't allow black boxes to tell us what is false when you can look out your window to know the thing is lying. And if something gets that big and ugly without enough human moderation or self censorship it will collapse into a firey whirlwind.
If you try to say something to a 3rd person standing next to us and I shout you down, that is censorship.

If I refuse to tell a 3rd person (not present) something you tell me, that is not censorship.

I have no obligation to repeat your nonsense.

I suggest reading the articles before writing in the comments:

> Facebook did not completely ban sharing of the article, but instead limited how much its algorithm automatically shared it to other people for a week, while third-party fact-checkers tried to verify the reporting. So while people could post the article and discuss it, it was less likely to spread organically to new users.
Being social influencer is good until you meet all kinds of censorship. Both from a platform (ban) and from a society (gate).
Is clippy necessarily evil? I mean we have the floating action button in some apps, clippy just provided FAB like functionality with some personality.

Then again, the FAB is pretty horrendous too most of the time, so maybe it's not the best way.

But I think in some very limited cases it could be a good way to provide shortcuts that bypass huge stacks of menus. Modern apps have gone in a more lightweight direction though so maybe we just don't need that.

I did some quick googling to put things in perspective:

Mach1 is ~ 0.3 km/s (+/- 0.1 varies with altitude)
Artillery is ~ 1 km/s
Earth orbital escape velocity is ~ 11 km/s

6km high is 20,000 ft, around low regional turboprop aircraft.
10km high is 32,000 ft, around airliner cruise altitude.
15km high is 50,000 ft, where Elon Musks private jet sits.
20km high is more where U2 and SR71 start to operate and require space suits.

ISS orbit is ~ 400 km
Elon's Starlink is 550km
The linked paper on arXiv[1] starts off with: " We observe a significant number of objects whose nature is not clear. Flights of single, group and squadrons of the ships were detected" (emphasis mine)

The word "ships" is a bit of a stretch to say the least without some really good evidence.

What's their "scientific" evidence? In the synopsis they say: "Adobe colour system" which... umm... how can I put this politely... they looked at the pictures in Photoshop!

The calibrated scientific instrument that they used to quantitively gather evidence for visiting aliens is the eyedropper tool.[3]

This is what I'm talking about. There's no evidence, just people promoting themselves to make a buck, get published, make insurance claims, or just have a laugh. Call me when they have an in-focus picture that's not just a splotch a few pixels across.[2]

[1] There is no special requirement, peer review, or any of the actual scientific process required for publishing a pre-print on arXiv. It's just a dumping ground for students, and is about as authoritative as GitHub.

[2] They have their photos in the paper. Go have a look, they're hilarious! These could be anything, such as airliners, satellites, or whatever your imagination can come up with: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.11215.pdf

[3] This feels like kicking a puppy, but I have to point out that in all PC colour systems, including Adobe RGB are non-linear and require gamma correction to obtain scientifically-relevant linear light intensity levels. The Photoshop eyedropper tool specifically does not do this, returning the encoded non-linear values. The paper mentions none of this, yet they use the RGB values directly in formulas to estimate metrics like distance. They also mention "RGB spectrum" as if that means anything without the context of the camera filters, sensor response curves, etc...
"Why not"?!

There is couple of fundamental difference to Unilever example:

1. Similar sounding names to existing brand is trademark infringement. Here this particular entity is deliberately copying the restaurant names to mislead people into selecting them (when original restaurants are closed).

2. Assumption is Unilever creates different brands with same exacting manufacturing standards, and it stands behind them (packages will follow federal labeling guidelines). It is for A/B testing of brand collaterals (name, packaging graphics, colors, copy etc.).
Here obviously that is not the case.

It is very obvious that deception is the end goal, so really don't understand "why not" remark.
It is known as a limited hangout.
Comparing this to FCP is a cheap swing. Obviously this is meant as an iMovie/MovieMaker alternative, not for professionals.
A cardinal rule of choosing restaurants is to avoid the ones with huge, unfocused menus. The quality is uniformly terrible and the kitchens are often unsanitary. I imagine that running one of these in the dark is not going to improve on that baseline.
Wow! Its X-ray proof and has AI!
I live in Australia in a rural area where the best internet connection I can get is on the Optus cellular network (I have clear line of sight to a tower 400m away used by fewer than 200 people; it’s actually the best non-commercial supply I’ve ever had for both speed and reliability, typically around 45/15Mbps five years ago when I moved to the area and with less than one observed downtime of less than one hour per annum, though where available NBN fibre should generally be able to be better these days). Actually, this is cheaper than it would often be, because it depends on what supplier I’m with at the time, which often depends on available introductory offers. My current arrangement amounts to 20¢/GB, the cheapest I’ve ever had (it’s interesting looking back even four years, when the best available was $0.90–$1.10/GB). When I finish the current one in a couple of months, it looks like I’ll switch again and be back to the ballpark I’ve had before, around 30¢/GB. Skip introductory offers, and you’re mostly at $0.60–$1.00/GB, or circles.life a bit lower but I refuse to use them again because of bad service and shameless illegal conduct that they refuse to acknowledge or do anything about (like sending third-party advertising text messages from CirclesLife, which has been illegal in the absence of explicit consent since the Spam Act 2003).
Lol. Literally just lol. Why would you do that? That isn't what is happening either.

Here's NYT telling you it's real. They put it in the 27th paragraph of a low circulation article a year after the election.

>People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.

If you omit writing <head> and </head> in HTML syntax, there will still be a head tag in the parsed result.

(This is different from XML syntax, where omitting the start and end tags means omitting the element as a whole so that there will be no head tag in the parsed result.)
It’s possible to do none of those things.
These days, blocking random isn't a thing anymore. /dev/random and /dev/urandom just do the same non-blocking operation.

It's worth pointing out that the commit that did this was made by a Microsoft employee who has been working on the clipboard API, not a Google employee.

At a glance and without very much context, it looks to me like this engineer was working on implementing Web Custom formats for the clipboard API [0], but broke the Google doodle sharing while doing so. It appears they were trying to restore old behavior as a temporary measure, but ended up breaking the checks altogether.

Their commit's comment[1] claims that the added variable should only be true if reading/writing a web custom format, but that obviously isn't the case (anymore?).

EDIT: Here is their original commit, which broke the doodle sharing: [2]. It extends the interaction requirement to custom formats, which wasn't true before. Their followup was meant to just undo that part of this commit, but appears to have done much more.

This has far greater implications than dead zones, yacht's (or) Oil rigs; 'Telecommunication during natural disasters'!

With increasing number of extreme weather events, Our conventional telecommunication systems(especially base stations) cannot stand a chance against natural(man made?) disasters. Yet, Apart from few nerd group projects like disaster.radio I see no real work in building disaster resilient telecommunication network.

P.S. If you live in India, Especially in south-western India and are interested in https://disaster.radio project for your region then give me a ping. I've been trying to get it started for ages.
I use Slack’s free version in a 2-person workspace with just my partner. We use it to message each other during the day. It probably costs Slack almost nothing, but now we’re getting somewhat cut-off.

I’ve also advocated for Slack at my company of several hundred employees, at multiple previous companies, and would’ve continued to at future companies. Mostly because they’ve had goodwill and been a joy to use in my personal life.

But now I’m mad at them, and going to move to a new chat platform, with my partner, on our tiny little instance.

Will me being mad at Slack affect their bottom line? Probably not today… but when more people like me have moved past Slack and see it as old annoying tech, maybe it’ll start to have an affect. We’ll see.
Wow. This is so eye opening.

Not surprised, Naples is quaint but also quite dumpy, especially compared to the rest of Italy. Overall Italy and Spain are tons of fun but also full of thieves and sketchy people who prey on tourists and rip them off or steal from then. Definitely not safe compared to places like USA, Canada, or Australia.
Anyone who says you shouldn't rely on wikipedia because it's inaccurate is confused about what wikipedia is, and what encyclopedias are supposed to be used for.

The lesson teachers should have been teaching was that you shouldn't cite the thing in a scholarly work as if it was a primary (or even secondary) source. Just like you shouldn't cite the Encyclopedia Britannica, or any other encyclopedia, in a paper.

Clipchamp seems easy enough for most amateurs. It’s great to have a completely free watermark-free alternative from Microsoft. Of course it can’t provide all the features.
Well, that seeming ambiguity basically just means that English and Finnish prepositions don't match up 1-for-1.

(We have the same between English and German. Most of the time, you can translate the prepositions with a simple lookup table, but they aren't completely 1-for-1.)

Many of the files posted by 4chan were already found on Biden’s abandoned laptop via an iPhone XS backup, according to the Washington Examiner.

Former Secret Service agent and cyber forensics expert Konstantinos “Gus” Dimitrelos previously told the outlet that the contents of the iPhone are authentic.

“Based on my analysis of the iPhone, I conclude the same results as my analysis of the MacBook Pro Laptop hard drive and iCloud synced data. The person who owns and operates this iPhone XS is Robert Hunter Biden,” Dimitrelos said, according to the outlet.
That's not how CPG business models work. Unilever doesn't "churn out thousands of brands" to cannibalize their own portfolio. What they are doing is building brand equity and competing for sales and shelf space vs other CPG brands-- that costs a lot of money and takes years.

> Spoken Mandarin would be a great basis for a logical world language.

Grammatically, yes (with a few caveats). Phonetically… perhaps not so much. Mandarin has a pretty poor phonetic inventory having lost a large number of sounds (including finals) throughout the history of its development. Words in Mandarin tend to be longer (as in having 3 syllables on the average) compared to other Chinese languages that have retained more sounds.

> The only ”weird” parts are tonality and those darned counting words.

There is nothing specifically weird about them. English has them too, they are called «collective nouns», i.e. «a flock of birds», «two shivers of sharks», «an ambush of DevOps engineers», «three pandemoniums of webdevs», «murders of Deloitte consultants», «a dazzle of Rust developers» or «a pitying of enterprise architects». Flock, shiver, ambush, pandemonium, murders, dazzle, pitying are your «darned» counting words.
It is a major story, but not in US. Why do you think states lost respect and credibility worldwide?
The pricing step is crazy. There's no way it matches the expense from Slacks side, but I guess they're just saying "you're not our target market" by charging that much per user.

The weird thing is that if that's the case, their target market doesn't really need a free tier at all - maybe a time limited demo. So I expect more restrictions in the future.
