A lot of minerals dissolve in water. Without oxygen in the air (like here, before those nasty cyanobacteria released a lot of oxygen) you can get also iron salts disolved in the oceans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event#Geologic...

Also, if there are volcanos, they will create plumes dirty of hot water with a lot of disolved things. Something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_vent

And you may even have some floating islands made of pumice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumice_raft
I never said that Trump was Hitler. That's a completely irrelevant statement. Obviously no leader in a western country is going to say I will become the next Hitler, even Putin does not glorify him. That doesn't take away from the fact that he had/has extremely strong totalitarian tendencies, is continuing to undermine the democratic processes and sympathises with open white supremacists.

I as someone from a country who knows a big deal about how the dangers of fascism am certainly worried if the world's most powerful man talks like that.
What does "all available" mean in this context? YandexTaxi operates in 1000+ cities and is connected to 700,000 drivers.
In NPM 8 you can override sub deps quite effectively, even using references.

Another option is package-patch. Very light, elegant and yet robust solution for fixing anything in any package you depend on yourself without waiting for maintainer to fix it.
One trick that works is get your neighbor a few houses down to buy an absolutely huge RV they leave parked on the street.

And the neighbor across something similar, that narrow gap between them slows people down naturally.
So when law enforcement fails, instead of demanding better action from the Government, people try to force companies into doing arbitrary policing to their taste.

If you get someone in trouble, harmed or killed - you get jail time. If it doesn't happen, it's first and foremost an issue with dysfunction of law enforcement, not the mailman being liable for delivering the mail when you think he/she should step in because the policeman didn't show up to work.
My parents divorced when I was very young and my dad ended up getting a job in a different state. So by age 4-5 I was flying alone between parents semi-regularly. This was in the late 80s to early 90s.
> I’d love to hear this side of it.

RudyG finds a laptop of unknown provenance, riddled with likely to be stolen data, claiming to be owned by his boss' chief political rival's failson? The claim Rudy and co make is that the laptop proves Joe Biden corruptly forced Ukraine to fire someone to protect Hunter Biden's interests.

It seems phony as hell because we know:

1. That prosecutor Biden lobbied Ukraine to fire was known to be corrupt
2. Biden was executing Obama's foreign policy with respect to pushing Ukraine here, not his own
3. Other members of the international community had a stated policy of removing the same corrupt prosecutor

Given all that, Rudy's claims just don't hold up. That's ignoring other things we know, like some emails and other data on the device in question were modified after it came into the possession of the store owner. And the fact that the store owner says that things that have reportedly been found on the laptop don't match things he found on it.

> do you see a problem with this?

No–I think not promoting a story that is likely to be false should be the default. Why should Facebook promote any story? Especially ones that follow the fake news pattern of disinformation that has become so pervasive in the era of trumpism.
The statement '"the world" has "mostly tried to stamp [minorities] from existence"' is not propaganda, and if you squint enough, is probably true, but it's also so broadly stupid and over generalized as to be mostly meaningless. It's not wrong, but it paints a picture wherein racists and "the world" are equated haphazardly - the danger being that one can invert the idea into "its okay to commit a particular crime if the only person it hurts is guilty by virtue of their group ownership". People get particularly sensitive about that conclusion - especially if they've read the history of the 20th century.

It's not okay to commit crimes against other people because we're all protected equally under the law and because every human being deserves respect and contains something divine. This is the most basic tenant of liberalism. It has for sure not been implemented equally or fairly, and boy-howdy is there a lot of work to do, but I'd venture that suggesting that the baby ought to be thrown out with the bathwater does border on dangerous propaganda.
> Mathematically speaking it's impossible.

Only if you assume the "dating pool" is 1:1 men/women. If you take the view that it's 10:1 men/women then that conclusion is "obvious."

And at least in the context of Tinder, I have read that the ratio of users leans men.

>people are suggesting an edit button

And those people should've been ignored. I feel like I'm the only person who actually used twitter back then and still remembers its original purpose. The restrictive character limit and lack of editing were deliberate features.

The reason they're adding an edit button now is the same reason they relaxed other deliberate restrictions before: money.
Who defines "best security practices"?

Agreed. In my company, "best practices" means "what I want," "what I'm used to," "what the sales guy is selling", or "what my boss wants."

There is no such thing as "best practices," and certainly no "best security practices."

Such a thing would have to be developed, perhaps by NIST. And even then, it would only exist as a baseline so that middle managers could mark a checkbox off on a list.

The only solution I can think of is to make companies financially liable in a way that actually hurts them. One of the reasons that healthcare companies run around in a HIPAA hysteria is that HIPAA violations can actually cause them great financial harm. The same cannot be said for mot of the tech industry.
The whole idea of a "site" full of "pages" doesn't really suit a lot of modern use cases. What do you do when your "app" isn't really a "site" to begin with? Like most of the apps in Google Workspace, or Maps, Earth, etc. It's not their URL structure that gives them value, but the buttload of realtime clientside interactivity enabled by JS.

How are you supposed to "less JS" your way out of that?
People shift there because the content creators they like are there. A huge portion of the Facebook and Twitter user base is into news and they can shrug about security but if the journalists don't then they won't get their fix.
Python dependency hell in a nutshell. Impossible to distribute ML projects that can easily be ran.
I appreciate it, but it’s actually not bad for me personally. My wife wants a new car rather than need one. We can afford to wait but can also afford to buy now, and I wanted her to be happy. But I know many others are definitely not so fortunate.
First mention of using driverless vehicles as weapons I recall was Daemon by Daniel Suarez.

> Freedom of expression and democracy are intimately linked, and both are deteriorating on a global scale.

The article isn't talking about the US. But my claim is that US left-wing is attacking free-speech and the US right-wing is attacking democracy. I don't know how much more hand-holding I can provide to indicate that "deteriorating on a global scale" includes the US.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.

> I'd seen too many legitimate situations in which a metric declines even though there's no regression, such as bug fixes in metrics or occasional updates to the test data.

I guess you could keep both the old and new versions of the test data or metrics in parallel for a few cycles of model update to get a feel for how the old/new settings differ
“Not credible” applies to his testimony.
The PhD position at Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) is part of a larger project “A new era of room acoustics simulation software: from academic advances to a sustainable opensource project and community”. One of the main problems with the state of art in room acoustics modelling is the gap between developments at academia and the methods that engineers use. Together with the colleagues from the Acoustics group of the Built Environment faculty and several companies, in this project we will (1) further develop and validate room acoustics modelling methods, (2) develop a software prototype of these methods and (3) create a sustainable open-source (OS) community capable of continuing development and usage of the prototype beyond the timeframe of this project.

You will contribute to activities (2) and (3) of the project. Your first group of tasks will be related to the open-source code and documentation: you will design the evolution-resilient software architecture, perform ongoing evaluation of maintainability of the software being developed, and ensure that the documentation does not form obstacles preventing participation in the project of diverse individuals. The second group of tasks will be related to community building. You will design and evaluate ways of recruiting and retaining open-source contributors. Closer to the end of the project you will design of the transition strategy by transferring the ownership of the project to an open-source foundation.

Functie-eisen
MSc degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related fields
Interest in community building and community management.

Yeah, this is a good point. What happens if you get stranded or something. I haven't figured that out. One solution might be to give you more suggestions of who lives nearby so that you could ask someone else if your ride falls through.

I actually have not solved the schedule problem either. Basically just telling you who passes who and let everyone figure it out. Maybe I'll add a quick schedule prompt or something for folks who work different hours (to filter on or something).

Thanks for the feedback.
That's not proof of a coverup. People can be legitimately wrong. And you claiming that they phrased it carefully as part of a coverup is another thing that requires evidence.

Given that you and the other poster seem to be indulging in low-fact speculation, I think I'm done here.
Nah, dealers are hiding inventory. NPR didn't bother checking in the back.
>That acquisition agreement calls for "specific performance", which means Elon pretty much agreed to buy the company no matter what (he waived due diligence).

>So it's at least worth noting that this disclosure happens right at a time when it might help Elon.

I am having one hell of a time putting these two together.
Sounds like "an eye for an eye". Apparently "it leaves the whole world blind", and that is why it's undesirable.

The second thing is that there's no way to measure pain, and also what we feel as pain is more like two things, actual pain, as in nervous system reaction, and suffering, which you create in your mind. There's two-way causation between the two by default, but the effect of one on the other is not deterministic, and can be learnt to that you feel pain, but do not suffer (as much you did previously). So we couldn't measure the pain before, and now we cannot measure the suffering to an even lesser degree.

The third thing is, which usually comes up with regards to crime, is punishment vs rehabilitation. What you describe with the AI, as it stands, is punishment. It's up the person being punished to learn something there. I don't have high expectation of someone who's returned to society after such lengthy torture (or are we killing them afterwards, or keeping them otherwise captive?). In case you're a victim of a crime, or just someone affected, it's natural to thirst punishment for the perpetrator. On a societal level however, it seems like that we're better off with rehabilitation. It creates a better social environment for all.

This comment applies to the GOP but based on your other comments here it seems like you think it applies more to the Democratic party, am I understanding that correctly?
It's sad, because America is so large even in each city, it wouldn't be hard to have one suburb or neighborhood dedicated to "family friendly slow streets" and another elsewhere to "walking retirement community", etc.

Instead we get nearly identical developments repeated over and over and over again.
The issue is the busybodies also have that device and the opportunity cost for them to make false claims about your child's safety that result in weeks to months of harassment by authorities is practically nill for them. And thanks to the way the CPS reporting laws are written, literally illegal to find out who the busybody was or face your accuser.
Anticipation is high. relief even.
I do think it's different.

"<Person> shouldn't have their home searched for purely political reasons" is a completely valid argument. But when you realize the person is the unstable former US president, he was presumably searched out of genuine suspicion (I wouldn't consider it just "politics"), and then it contained a list of foreign spies and other documents it wasn't supposed to - now it's no longer reasonable. But I would also say you're no longer really arguing "<Person> shouldn't have their home searched for purely political reasons".

The two are barely connected. Yeah they are connected, but no rational person would jump from "home search for political reasons is unjustified" to "leaking spies to enemy states is justified". An extremist would understand, but extremists can figure out codes to communicate with each other as long as any speech is allowed.

Radicalizing sensible people is absolutely a real phenomenon which is happening right now in the US, and has happened many times before. But it's not free speech which has caused this. It's actually poverty and other societal flaws which make people upset, and when the "good guys" don't fix those flaws, people start listening to the bad guys. Sensible people can listen to garbage, but they can also listen to your side, and if they're still reasonable they can make rational judgement.
Can we appreciate someone’s contributions without idolizing them?

I would agree, yes, he had some objectively interesting ideas and proposals.

The idolizing masses surrounding him makes it impossible to critique things like his Synergetics textbook, which was … not good to be generous.
Purely as a political demonstration?
From my experience the bigger frameworks may have support for non-CUDA devices (that is not just the CPU fallback) but many smaller libraries and models will not, and will only have a CUDA kernel for some specialized operation.

I encounter this all the time in computer vision models.
If that imagine about zip was meant to help.. (truly, I do know what zip does. It's what zip does in context. Mapping your mental model of a list to a list of pairs in context is whats hard. And my head doesn't see lists as tuples any more than staring at an integral stops me internally screaming eeeee because giant E)
I'm not sure you deserve engaging, but I'll give it a try.

So you're just going to ignore a war involving two of the biggest exporters of some of the main raw materials we have (foodstuffs and energy) on the planet and associated supply problems on crucial things? Not to mention a pandemic that wrecked havoc on supply lines. None of that matters, your theory goes, it's purely a monetary phenomenon, because only countries with fiat money systems are impacted. Could you share some countries with alternative money systems that aren't impacted?
I don't like being ripped off. I don't like it whether it's a mugger, or a car dealership, or a bank.

I also don't like being lied to. I don't like being told the deal is X for $Y, and finding out later that it's X for $Y + $Z. In fact, one of my major rules is that I don't do business with people who lie to me.
How does google handle all those mentioned problems? Would be great to contrast that to twitter, especially how easy it is to read Twitter DMs vs gmail messages.
It goes in spurts - right after a "growth spurt" the kid will be quite uncoordinated until their mind gets the hang of the suddenly larger body.
That is almost certainly fair. I know I wore Speedo-like swimwear for water polo but would have worn nylon shorts of some sort at the beach generally.
Do you think software that changes more often is more secure? Seems backwards.
It leads me to think about writing a polynomial function that I know will have complex roots because I was taught the answer to that is "no solution",

By the time one reaches calculus they have been taught that complex solutions are valid solutions. They just aren’t real solutions. Therein lies one of the problems teachers of mathematics have. Conveying the concept of the answer depending on what the current algebraic object one is working on. We have to hand wave do some brain washing because the nuances involved are far too complicated for the students to understand at this level.
The only winning move with the manipulative is not to play. Their games tend to waste your time and resources.

Somewhere, somebody interested in delivering customer value will sell you a quality car at a price that is respectful to all parties. Buy that one. Do note that a respectful price preserves a margin for the dealer.
Direct messages. Control over accounts - not "information" directly, but also something depending on platform security.
The thing that this article mentioned and that your comment doesn't pick up on is that there is a new biography out on Fuller. This article is a quasi review, and the contents of the new book doesn't consist solely of uncritical praise. It's a proper biography and contains details that weren't widely discussed before. Unsurprising: not everything about a person's life will be good.

Opining about why people are talking about the less rosy aspects of Fuller's life right now is like if you transported yourself back to the release of Isaacson's biography on Jobs and concerned yourself with why people were discussing the negative details regarding the incidents that Isaacson wrote about.

The author worked with bfi.org to write the book. Calling this "hating on Fuller without understanding his work or ideas" or an attempt to cancel him is silly. (Not least of all because, you know, he's dead.)
Twitter isn't biased, people on twitter have opinions.
It's always 1:1. Dating implies 1:1 dinner.

Rappers, actors and people who feel the need to bring 5 or 6 girls on a date, that's so rare that doesn't even merit counting. And also it ends up pretty quick.
The words "Meh, if you can't do this, I'm probably fine with a used one. CarMax doesn't haggle. Can you make a quote, or am I leaving" usually get them to move.

Right now, some might balk. But you know what? That salesperson cares about their quota, and if your purchases pushes them over today's goal number, they twitch. Because the inevitable next buyer tomorrow isn't going to get them over the quota they need to meet today.

And if your dealership really plays hardball? Move on to the next one. Or buy used from a place that doesn't haggle.

The way to lose this is if you want a specific year/make/model - they'll get you. If your entire attitude is "anything within that set of parameters", it's much harder for them.
I've always wanted an edit button and I don't think it detracts from the "model" of twitter. Like GitHub, it should let you look at edit history though, because there are certainly interesting (and potentially terrible) implications to letting people edit stuff after the fact.
At least at the airports I've been to recently, it seems CNN lost that contract. The TVs are off or showing some nature scene.

Twitter direct messages are famously not end-to-end encrypted (unlike almost every other provider at this point) and are almost certain to be absolutely loaded with juicy political and criminal intrigue.

Furthermore, many Twitter accounts are pseudonymous or anonymous and disclosure of the true identity of the account owner could be scandalous or even physically hazardous.

And, assuming the identity of a famous person on Twitter would also be a powerful tool.

Many B2C / consumer-oriented companies have this "who cares" attitude and it is very toxic to the industry as a whole when it comes to security.
You do have the opportunity though. I bet you could find, say, 10 likeminded people and pool your resources and get those 2 apartments. Yes, you only get 1/10th of the cut, but if it really is easy money like that, then why not do it?
I can almost guarantee that Karl Popper (the person who wrote a book on the reductive tendencies of proto-totalitarian societies) would fundamentally disagree with this summary of his 750 page work. He might point to the next five decades of his life as evidence for a repudiation.
I agree with this. Allowing people to install software is not necessarily a security risk, but it can be if your company's overall security is vulnerable to hostile software on employee computers.

In software development, you need to install software in order to do your job. I've worked at two "big tech" companies, and both of them had a policy of allowing employees (at least in engineering) to have root on their devices and install what they need to do their work. 1. We're intelligent adults and trusted to not fuck everything up, and 2. Internal systems are properly secured against fuck-ups, so a rogue compromised laptop on an internal network should not be able to screw anything up anyway.

Then again, I've worked at smaller companies that thought their perimeter firewall and VPN for employees was adequate security. Once one got onto the internal network, there was no defense in depth. A compromised laptop (not to mention a disgruntled insider) that managed to get onto the internal network could literally wipe everything out.
