120Gbps repeaters will be expensive. Making circuits that fast is incredibly tricky, with power, heat, rf (and more) issues.

If you think it's cheap make one and get rich.

But it's most certainly not cheap or easy or low cost.

I am not commenting on anything to do with the discussion at hand, purely just commenting on Wikipedia and the idea of "primary sources."

Wikipedia articles are not really vetted by any authority nor are the sources. Anyone can simply add citations to claims; there are no standards for what constitutes a valid source other than a URL exists to some resource.

You can even take a benign article about something that is not political and start clicking through the sources and realize a lot of them don't support the claim they were cited to support on Wikipedia. In my experience, its less than half the sources I've clicked on are credible and support the claim but this is anecdotal. A lot of Wikipedia is editing by people with ulterior motives now that its so often presented and received as fact.
Other wxWidgets apps don't have this problem.
Are those countries growing with birth rates alone? I thought immigration was what was helping the populations stay stable
> Why does the government need to step if it's it's obviously such a good deal for the employers right now?

Because employers have had disproportionate power over labor for a very long time. Might not be so much for engineers/doctors/lawyers/etc, but 80%+ of people are walking into a negotiation in a weaker spot with less info than the employer.

That is why in the past couple years, we are finally seeing signs outside Taco Bell and signs on bus driving advertising pay rates. Until now, they have enjoyed a better negotiating position than the employees.

> And why would I ignore a company with a wide range? I don't care if the range is wide, as long as I get the upper end of it.

Because if I am capable of getting the upper end, and another employer is offering the upper end, but with a higher lower end also, I am not going to waste my time risking getting a lower offer. Applying to a job and interviewing have costs.
I used to work in Amazon Supply Chain Systems Software, many years ago. Yes a key component of what amazon does is software, but... that is not all what supply chain systems are. They are human processes, and physical things.

There exists many systems that lets you take orders online and put them in the mail. There are not many systems that lets you cheaply ship things to users in like 1-2 days.

Best of luck!
Seems it's more due to a number of scalpers who use(d) automated scripts to make bulk purchases from online vendors in order to sell at a markup on sites like amazon.

That's why the legit vendors like Adafruit now set a quantity limit and also require registration (with phone number IIRC) to buy them.

This project has come a long way, very fast. Great work to all involved. The biggest security holes in Tor are most likely going to be from the browser going forward.

Hardening the browser is tough, but that's a win for everyone (including those not using Tor).

This sentiment was one that I shared in my Rust work:

> the pickiness of the compiler has been a great boon. Generally speaking, if our Rust code compiles and passes its tests, it is much likelier to be correct than our C code under the same conditions.
So what makes the state follow the rules of evidence? Anything?
As someone who lives in Mexico since over a decade ago, and well outside the tourist bubbles, I'd say that your personal view of the situation is ridiculously rose-tinted. The violence isn't plainly visible as it's been in Syria, for example, but it's very real and vastly destructive. Not to mention the amount of homicide that goes unreported and the disappearances that likewise don't get reported. Furthermore, your own sources actually do more to back up the argument you're rejecting than to prove your own claim.
All religious movements thrive because of the virulence of thought virii. This is true for Christianity or Veganism or normalization of puberty blockers.

Thought virii should be able to replicate really fast to populate host environment to take over and also defeat resistance from competition. Public schools in America are very conducive environments for such transmission.

The mythos of western religion is that of a man who is the son of god..first denied and then died because the sinners nailed him to the cross. His divinity is enshrined through resurrection after living a mortal life. This is very powerful and even if westerners abandon religion, it works on a sub conscious level. A victim is not ‘weak’..they are divine and worshipful.

In Hindu mythos(I am from India and am Hindu), for example, this would never stick. So it’s definitely a cultural thing altho the notion of a god sacrificing himself for humanity is a common theme throughout the ancient world. In Hinduism, it is our Sun God, the child of Divine Mother Aditi..she left him like a square lump of flesh in the realm between earth and heavens to serve humans. And so Surya burns himself and sacrifices himself so mortals can exist. He is unapproachable who is like a strict father, but he exists for all humanity so we can work through our karmas. He is not a victim of mortal follies. Etc. One has to die to be reborn. You will find parallels in Norse mythology etc. It goes all the way back. But as the youngest and most prevalent religion, Christanity's lapsed congregation take the archetype but abandon the faith.

religion is a faith based belief system. if we remove it, something else has to replace vaccum it leaves behind in the collective psyche. communism, science, war, art are all the usual suspects. everywhere, one has to suffer to establish their commitment. currently, it is social justice causes. in america..because we have leapfrogged due to tech and prosperity..and there are no more wars or famines and there is relative prosperity as baseline compared to other countries, we are running out of protected categories of people willing to be nailed at the cross and as a cause to follow for change.

The Abrahamic religious archetype requires a victimized god who will resurrect to show truth to the world. It is also the ‘contagion’ in a sense because this needs to replicate fast and dominate the host body of culture/civilization.

One has to die to be reborn. But someone has to kill the one first and for that we need a victim and a victimizer. The roles are defined. But who wants to play?
Hallucinating with Art Models
No, I did not miss that. If it's not in the linked article, the implication is that we all just know to shower with our mouth closed. 2.9 million people, vs 149k.

It's hyperbole, without the details.
Having lived in Europe, this feels exactly like the kind of reporting they love. “Did you hear what happened in the US?” Or “did you see what happened in the US?” It’s a big damned place and I only personally care about certain parts of it, so no, I probably didn’t.

I used to expect better out of the BBC…

There needs to be better laws protecting individuals that use aliases and what not for registration. Technically, there are certain federal laws that can make doing so illegal in certain circumstances.. while not enforced at a high rate, I do see them occasionally being applied unfairly and don't like knowing that by using aliases and what not that I could be opening myself to criminal prosecutions.
Other companies keep the lid on when it happens to them. Samsung has the decency to inform you quickly and clearly, gotta give them that.
> It also seems like the player might get rather frustrated that they can't hit an enemy ship that is five feet in front of them because the player ship is not exactly at the same elevation as the enemy ship.

Ha, I even had this problem with a 'modern' game, Uncharted (2? I think?). The one with the tutorial level with you on a dock having to shoot pirates or something. Aiming was impossible on the DualShock because you'd either not move the crosshairs or the crosshairs would just way overshoot once it started moving.

I ended up having to run up to the goons to land shots.

Thank God for Gamefly, that game went straight back even though I'd spend hours already getting it installed and then mandatory patches done.

The state taxes casinos and sports books an insane amount on top of regular federal taxes and whatnot.

It’s not totally extractive but they are obviously still profitable.

The thing is, everyone gambled before legalization. You didn’t even need a bookie, every online casino has taken bets from US citizens and then pay no taxes to the state or country.

Bookies are even worse than online casinos because they offer a line of credit and later coerce you to give up your business, sell drugs, etc.

All in all it’s very similar to drugs. People are going to do it anyway, might as well make it legal.

You can contact any casino and request to be excluded from play indefinitely. You can set deposit limits and cannot lift them for a month at a time. There’s some “harm reduction” required by law.
That's a very cliche and unnaunced point of view. If you like thinking about your code, you have assembly, I think x86 is a very nice flavor for you, will all its 40+ years galore of special cases. There are Turing Machines, for really testosterone-heavy programmers, there you don't even have registers, registers are for weaklings, am I right ? I think you will like them very much, just an FSM and an infinite tape, the sky is your limit, so much thinking.

If you want even more kickass bragging rights, you can program in a Lambda Calculus, where every single thing you try to do with the language will force you to think about it, more thinking ! yaaay ?.

Generally speaking, yes, the entirety of good design (in general, in all walks of life) and modern PL research comes down to "don't make me think about how I code", because good programmers don't think about the code, they think about the problem the code is trying to solve. As per Alfred Whitehead (a mathematician, so very much a fan of thinking) : "Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them.", so is programming language research. It advances by allowing you to forget as much as possible that you're even programming a computer, a good language fades into the background, ideally you're not even programming a good language, you're simply stating the problem to be solved.

This is hampered by leaky and unreliable abstractions like Exceptions. They are a step backward in Error Handling, no static gaurantees, no static type checking, aweful synchronization between use sites.
The GDPR has a massive enforcement problem though, so in practice, you have little recourse if a company breaches it and misuses your personal information.

Yeah, the next decade is going to be interesting to watch.

In Taiwan, for instance, the working age population peaked just five years ago[1], so I doubt that the fact that their worker shortage is permanent and going to get worse has yet sunk in the brains of the management and political class in Taiwan.

Give it ten years, they might start understanding what's going on. Based on China's and Japan's responses, they'll have no idea what to do.

How can I submit my own workstation? It's very messy but its mine :) Walking/standing/sitting desk with enormous $10,000 PC, the L-shaped desk had two matching white IKEA tabletops until one was damaged by the pressure of the multi-monitor clamps so now one tabletop is a brown MDF sheet that I got from Home Depot for $40. The walking treadmill I ripped out of a surplus deask/treadmill unit so the control panel doesn't have a complete enclosure, the circuit board is exposed --only low voltage though, gets power over a long serial cable.
Fascinating read and a lovely example of a simple and pragmatic socioscientific study. Cool!
FIRE is primarily funded by conservative and libertarian foundations and pg (much like most VCs) is libertarian. I'm not saying this to dunk on them, but it's unsurprising that pg would tend towards FIRE over ACLU, which is funded by slightly more progressive libertarian foundations (unless you consider George Soros a leftist).
In Search of the Golden Brain
I’ve watched Jon’s videos for years now without knowing he added captions… thanks for the tip !

Yes, just the fabs. Where do they import the bulk of the chemicals and other inputs from?
US birth rate: 1.70
France birth rate: 1.87
Japan birth rate: 1.36
Pakistan birth rate: 3.45

So Pakistan, unlike many more developed countries, has a birth rate higher than the replacement rate, but significantly lower than it’s 1950 to 2000 highs over 6 - and trending downwards.

The population would be expected to drop precipitously, but not soon.
No, I won't give them anything. They don't need to take this information. They shouldn't have it. I think they and everyone else collecting data should be held far more accountable than they are for the damage they do when that data leaks.
According to that story which I’ve listened to before, that partnership had a very specific set of goals, once those goals were achieved or deemed unachievable (as the case may be) the purpose of the plant no longer existed so they shut it down.
That info is generally already public and easily accessible. Try googling yourself or a relative. You can find their date of birth, address, phone numbers, and neighbors in a couple of minutes.

bread and circus, same reason they are legalizing or decriminalizing drugs after resisting for decades. They want the masses sedated and distracted. 100K+ people die from opioids every year and that number is rising rapidly, yet no national emergency declaration or real action to try and stop it
Came back from Berlin to NYC.

In Berlin there was no gates. You just walk to the train. You were suppose to buy the ticket and show it if they ask for it. Even that is unnecessary in the US. The best payment system for public transportation is no payment. In the US it doesn't cover much of the fare anyways but has so much overhead for the MTA. People who try to dodge the fare are actually poor and the most deserving of not paying anyways.
They banned my account for ridiculous reasons, and after explaining I did nothing wrong they replied nothing would change.

I think the only way you can get your account back after being permanently suspended is getting a lawyer involved.
18 hours is overnight.

Last night "Hmm. Toothpaste almost gone. Let me check the linen closet. Nope. Excuse me while I whip this out. (gasp) Swipe, tap, tap, t-o-o-t-h (autocomplete), scroll, tap, tap, tap. Done."

Used the last this morning, new toothpaste delivered at noon.

I shop online exclusively because one of my first jobs was in retail and it is my solemn duty to do everything I can to annihilate the brick and mortar store, to erase it from existence to the point that it remembered only as a distant cultural echo by future generations.

This is all I can do, and it is enough.

I even get booze delivered so I don't have to stand in line as some tweaker tries to buy lottery tickets with handfuls of quarters at the liquor store.

Despite what the internet might have you think, fulfillment centers for every single distributor or retailer are run the same so I choose amazon because they can get many things here in 4-6 hours, most of the rest the overnight, and weird stuff in two days.

I've encountered some APIs that use this. My question is, why? It doesn't really improve security - someone determined enough can match the fingerprint or send requests using the same library that the originating app uses. It feels like a security through obscurity tactic to me.
In practice it's better to go dig limonite from bottom of the lakes, rivers where it has already been concentrated. Bog iron (mostly goethite) from bogs is also a good source of iron.

Please stop spreading unsubstantiated FUD. If you have the data to prove otherwise, please share the links.

I have had an iPhone 7 for many years; yes, same device. I don't remember the exact time when I got it, but it might've been around 2017. So this device is over 5, if not 6, years old. In all this time, I've had to replace only the screen due to physical damage, but the phone is otherwise perfectly functional. I've been told a few times that the battery needs replacement, but that's primarily because the phone reports battery's "Maximum Capacity" is 73%; but I'm reluctant to replace the battery because I haven't had any problems with the current battery.

Another data point: I bought an iPad Air 2 in November 2016 for my kids, and it's been used by my kids, changing hands as the older one grew out of it, and has had zero issues. Yes, it's screen has got scratches, and it's got blemishes on the body. But it's been running along just fine for over 7 years now. It's getting OS updates, even though it's been discontinued for over 5 years. I cannot say that for any of the Android devices I had bought, not even the ones made by Google.

Before getting the iPhone, I was firmly in the "android is best" camp, and I was almost against buying Apple devices, primarily for the cost of the hardware. I have bought phones, and a tablet, powered by Android, but none of them lasted long enough for me to extract value out of my investment. Either they died early because of some hardware failure, or because the device stopped getting updates.

After trying iPhone, and Apple's other hardware, like MacBooks, I have become a fan of the _quality_ of their products. Their products may not give the customer the same freedoms (of choice) and flexibilities that we've come to expect from Linux and Android worlds, but their products serve the needs of their customers for long durations, and in a way that no other company possesses the ability to do.

If you are of the type who pines for products of a bygone era where the products used to last decades, serving the customers faithfully without much fuss, I think you should seriously consider buying Apple devices.
Not exclusively a British idiosyncrasy, given gangs and tribal habits elsewhere, but you're quite right that we Brits do take to various ways of distinguishing ourselves on sometimes questionable grounds! Location, education level, schools, universities, colleges within universities, accents, vocabulary, class, sports affiliations, it's endless!
Worthless comment, right? If you'd read the link you'd know I'm quoting directly. It cites studies, like this one: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4392651/

...which declares other correlations: "cannabis use has been linked with increased use of other drugs, including opioids" again adding "however, a causal relationship has not been established." Should we assume the bad stuff is causal, too? I don't believe we should.
My area has banned billboards on the highway and otherwise. They also have strict rules about signage in general.

It's really wonderful and when I go somewhere else and am bombarded by those ads I am reminded again how assaulting they are.
I'm OK with pairing a significant amount of time if it's async. I find traditional sync pairing draining after an hour or so. If you are pairing all the time something has to be off, it's not efficient at all.
Why do maps have north at the top?
> Better to have the demand served open and legally than forcing people underground. Alcohol prohibition should have made it abundantly clear decades ago that attempting to ban vices will only leas to criminal empires, and it's just the same with gambling, prostitution, porn and marijuana.

It's not obvious to me that all vices are created equal here. If forcing gambling underground creates a criminal empire or two but results in, say, 80% fewer gambling addicts who end up damaging their lives and those of their families, which is the larger harm? Fake numbers, obviously the benefits/harms would depend on several different factors, but I don't think a one size fits all approach makes sense because "illegal gambling gangs" didn't seem to cause the same sort of larger societal problems the last several decades that "illegal drug gangs" or prohibition-era alcohol gangs have. I would assume this is because the lack of a need for the same sort of supply chain that you could attempt to monopolize and dominate.
I'm sure it's possible, but 40Gbps fiber bundles probably win easily on cost per bandwidth over any significant distance.
