From "Bill Gates had some meetings with Jeffrey Epstein" to "Bill Gates had sex with underage girls trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein" is ... quite a leap, no? I mean, enough of a leap that I don't see why anyone would make it.

(In the absence of further evidence, that is. E.g., someone mentioned that allegedly Gates's acquaintanceship with Epstein was one reason for his divorce. Maybe that's nudge-nudge-wink-wink for "his wife divorced him because he was having sex with underage girls", since otherwise it seems like insufficient grounds for wanting a divorce. But this is all speculation founded on hearsay, and in any case the thing you originally linked to says no more than that Gates met with Epstein a few times.)

FWIW, QR isn't the best option for the real world - it's extremely fragile and susceptible to damage compared to DataMatrix, the other commonly used 2D symbology. DoD uses DataMatrix for marking all aircraft and other components for traceability, for instance.

I've used it on oilfield prototypes just printed on weatherpoof laser labels, and they're still readable even with big gouges and divots missing. By contrast, despite the redundancy, you can scrog a QR code with a single unfortunately placed scratch. (As I reconfirmed out this week trying to read the wiki/docs link for a secondhand laser cutting module I picked up: a screw on the rail had dragged through the QR code in a horizontal line - not through the timing section, but enough to make it unreadable. Fortunately, the model is identifiable visually on the mfr's site, so I can be sure what kind of safety goggles I need!)
A steelman of that perspective (full disclosure: I'm leaning more libertarian, but my stance is complicated, and nuanced), is that you can just not use facebook, but government's laws are full liability -they enforce (rather than describe) norms, and stances which can suffocate non-represented minorities, and you can not opt out in ways other than moving.

People are many, and weird, and different; the attention of lawmakers & govs are limited, and this can (and have repeatedly made) roadkill of you, with no recourse other than privacy.

In security, to make an assessment of overall risk of a potential vulnerability, we take into account both the probability, and the impact of exploiting such vulnerability. Facebook, and corporations in general, ultimately want to move merch, and, at worst, make you vote for candidates of their choice: probability of being successful is medium, but impact for the individual is relatively low. Goverment laws can roadkill you: probability of this ranges from low to medium, but impact is super high. This advises for being especially vigilant for gov interventions, especially where freedom, and liberties are concerned.

No, these aggressions happened in the recent history (< 100 years) before NATO accessions. Once in NATO, these countries were off limits (= main lure of the membership).
Not OP, but probably a lot of people had faith that if the foundation behind Wikipedia says they need money to keep the servers online, they just believed them without trying to find details behind a "Beware of the Leopard" sign. It'd be similar to if a trusted family member said they needed some help.

But guess what, maybe their faith that this organization is misplaced.
Is your brother still in the industry? If so, what are his thoughts about the current working conditions and the possible strike beginning Friday?
Well, it kind of makes sense if you have e.g. a big youtube channel under and alias and people would know who you are based on that (e.g. Veritasium) but less people would know what your actual name is. However I don't use twitter so I have no idea how liberally this sort of thing is applied
I think the primary user base will be human rights activists and journalists, similar to Google’s Advanced Protection Program.
I don't expect 2 to be printed. I think you're conflating scope with calling conventions. x is locally scoped to the function. `f` behaves like a lambda/closure.

Would you expect `(define f (lambda(x) x))` to have awareness about some global `x`? The only difference with Python is that the closure has access to the global scope unless the variable is locally defined and a new reference is created in the frame.

> Sure I can. It is called a submarine swap.

You can call it whatever you want, someone still has to sync with the main chain, where all the utility is. You can get together with your friend and give each other IOUs all day every day, it doesn't somehow change the fact that bitcoin's throughput is severely crippled to be the speed of a dialup modem.

Have you ever stopped to think that other cryptocurrencies don't have second layers because people don't want them and their chains don't need them? Why go through all this when there is no reason to have a crippled chain in the first place?

Using regular cryptocurrencies is incredibly simple and elegant. It's only when people started to believe propaganda about disk space and cpu time (that never made sense with the most basic examination) that somehow something that worked amazingly well is now a complete mess.
What language/frameworks are you using for your api?
python/Django for server
and android/java for the app

also i use ejabberd library because i use XMPP protocol to communicate my app with servers

Do you have any instrumentation on your servers to see what is causing the issues? i see the metrics using aws metrics also i can see data on PGAdmin4 postgres

It could be as easy as a missing index or something different.
yes i think so, i dont have experience with indexes, i dont have indexes on my database

>The moment the US left? That’s a different story.

So in what scenario can the US military "leave" the US? You are pretty much proving the guy's point, no?

Yes, the US military could scorch earth its backyard. Nobody really denies that. What would be impossible is maintaining that control for any meaningful amount of time. This is also assuming somehow that 100% of the military and 100% of its assets are on board with whatever "regime" comes to be, which I just don't see happening.
I don't think it's for storing music.
I think a partial, but substantive explanation is related to fragmented domain expertise across the stakeholder base and lack of ownership of the vision of what the stack is meant to achieve. The recent blog post from the Lago folks about why they exited the no-code reverse ETL space discusses parts of this problem [1].

> Marketers often already have access to data, at least in ‘read-only’ mode, and can download it in CSV format. They don’t really explore their options, not because they would need to learn SQL (no need with spreadsheets), but because this would require them to study the whole data structure of the company.

A database usually contains dozens or hundreds of data tables, and understanding how they are organized, how they relate to each other and how often they are updated is a huge effort. Therefore, they say they want to be more data-driven, but they rarely acquire the knowledge that is required to do so, because the bar is pretty high and because this would add up to their existing workload

The inverse observation here I believe is also relevant and rings true. Engineers often don't have have the marketing/sales/analytics/business domain context to make decisions that inform optimal infrastructure decisions. There's a bidirectional dog-piling effect that just gets worse over time.

My own personal experience has led me to believe that this is largely an ownership and governance issue. It's not enough to just give marketers access to the data warehouse, and it's also not enough to sync up with engineers about KPIs and OKRs on a weekly basis. The result of that is the equivalent of a kids soccer game where everyone is chasing the ball rather than playing their positions as a team.

Adding tooling complexity on top of all that, pressed into the service of fixing "pipeline woes", compounds the problem substantially.

The hype of Blockchain is an astounding thing, and the cascading hype for systems merely because they are based off people in the Blockchain space is equally as befuddling.

There are a lot of cases where you have to be available on chat. Either sit at your desk and do nothing for 12 hours straight, or do anything you want and just have your phone on you. This could either be a slow day at work, or an actual off day like being on call on a Saturday. A lot of companies aren't going to buy you a separate work phone.

If there's a lazy security option that can be enabled, a lot of companies are just going to inappropriately turn it on because it doesn't bother them that your phone can't do anything fun. That doesn't cost them money. Even if you're a web designer for a small shoe store where obviously nuclear power plant level of security doesn't really make sense.

I remember android phones like 10 years ago or so had some corporate policy option so any time the screen is locked, you need to enter a 20 character password that has uppers, lowers, capitals, symbols, and numbers.

Any patterns / words it decided were too easy to guess were rejected for a password. This wasn't a "Lock after an hour of inactivity." It was "Lock immediately, and set screen timeout to 30 seconds."

Best ones I’ve used are MindNode and XMind. I actually used MindNode for personal stuff and XMind for work, but now I’ve been gravitating towards XMind alone because it also runs on Linux (besides Mac and Windows) and I can sync my mindmaps to the iPad with SyncThing.

XMind does have a couple of irritating bugs on Fedora around keyboard input (I can’t move focus with the cursor keys, it creates a new node) but it might be specific to my setup. Their support/developers don’t seem to care much, though.
What do you do for a living, exactly?
Again your analogy is flawed. YouTube displays ads and you circumvent them in some way and take the product, in this case a video.

Similarly you go to Walmart, the equivalent of YouTube.com, find a product, analogous to finding a video, and take it without paying? Analogous to watching the advertisement.

Your analogy makes more sense for Google search in that you can search and see results and simply choose to not click ads, whereas on YouTube you cannot choose to not watch some of an ad, without paying.

The key part in a metaphor around this is that you must circumvent in your comparison, since that's the main thing being done here. Simply choosing to not do something isn't circumvention unless that's the implicit expectation (e.g. paying for something you took).
Reading the post in context, I think it seems like they were trying to say that they went out of their way to ensure race was not a factor in the layoff decision process, but it does come across… as not a great look.

It reminds me a bit of the “asbestos free” xkcd comic. Like, I’m sure there are some companies still who would try to first fire the black folk or the Indian folk or whatever. But… is there really a big tech firm where that’s a possibility? I kinda doubt it.
>On the other hand, it is a failure of open source - Databricks Spark is full of proprietary extensions that are not in Apache Spark. AWS Spark (in EMR and Glue) is full of proprietary extensions that are not in Apache Spark. Same with Cloudera, IBM and other players.

Well, can't disagree with that.

>There's also the story how Databricks people blocked IBM patch to Apache Spark that was supposed to make it faster on IBM POWER platform - they didn't want to help competition.

Any link to that? I can't find the story.
Consider search engines and searching for content more generally: are you certain that natural language is most often used?

When I search for content, I use key terms to produce refined and better results. If you don't use such terms then what you're looking for may be difficult to find.
It's probably even more humorous if you understand that Scheme was created because Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy Steele wanted a way to experiment with Carl Hewitt's actor model, which is based on message passing. Which, itself, was based on Simula, Smalltalk, etc.

Sussman and Steele came up with a way to do lexical scoping in a LISP, thus closures in LISP were born. They then acknowledged that actors and closures are essentially the same concept (I'm assuming with mutation, i.e. Scheme's "set!" and friends because otherwise message passing to update independent actors would be meaningless).

And to put the cherry on the top, what do Java, Common Lisp, and Scheme all have in common? Guy L. Steele worked on the language specs of all of those. Which makes the dig against Java a bit hilarious, though understandable.

I was choosing one word to refer to a contiguous population of people. I could have chosen to call them formerly-homeless, but the distinction felt moot, because typically we are referring to people unable to provide their own shelter as homeless, whether or not they havea place to stay (hence the term homeless-shelter).
If you can pinpoint the data in OpenStreetMap we could try to figure out if this is something wrong in the map data (Anyone can fix it!), or maybe it's a tag they should be filtering out on the OpenRailwayMap rendering.

iPhone 14 Pro Camera Review: Scotland
Sometimes people are famous under a username or pseudonym. Also Twitter generally verifies people at risk of being impersonated. It doesn't matter if you know who say CZ is but if thousands of people would pretend to be him and others will fall for it it helps to verify who the real one is.

Though clearly they should disable name changing post verification or something so the checkmark itself doesn't help to impersonate others.
Patagonia mostly sells fossil fuel based products (polyester, etc). The idea of reserving all profits from such a company towards fighting climate change just makes sense to me.

We live in a fossil fuel based economy; the profit from fossil fuel based companies should be reinvested towards transitioning away from fossil fuels. This just makes sense.

I doubt more companies will follow suit, but if they do, that would be a sign of hope for the world. (Imagine, for example, if all the major oil extraction companies dedicated most of their profits to genuinely fighting climate change.)

edit: I've never gotten downvotes so quickly on a post. I don't mind downvotes, but would appreciate a thoughtful reply in response. Thank you. :)

In some publications (mostly CS conferences), there are associate chairs or 'meta-reviewers' whose sole job is to manage the peer review for a paper. They will read the reviews and if there isn't consensus, they'll ask the reviewers to read the other reviews and have a discussion. It is usually 3 reviewers and 1 meta-reviewer per paper, so there are often 2-1 splits.

The meta-reviewer doesn't just send the reviews to the authors with no commentary. They write a summary of the reviews with a recommendation about what to do next. If there are contradictions and no consensus is reached, it is their job to decide which concerns the authors need to respond to in order to get it published. They aren't bound by the reviews, they can disregard one if they feel like it is unfair, although sometimes the rules say they must get another reviewer to write a 4th review.
I'm a long time NB user, I still use it as my daily driver.

The transition to Apache has been tough, but it's honestly amazing how well it does. The singular task of just "keeping up with Java" is load enough, much less adding on features. And, indeed, it doesn't have any formal sponsorship like it did under Oracle.

My singular nit with the project is that they rely a bit on external projects.

If there's one real power feature to NetBeans is that it's a first class Maven IDE. It works really well with maven.

Many of the "New Project" wizards are simply wrappers around maven archetypes.

But therein lies the rub.

Many of those archetypes are NOT "owned" or maintained by the NB project, they're 3rd party. You have NB maintained code designed to work with a specific maven archetype maintained by someone else.

I appreciate how the team doesn't necessarily want to be a domain expert in some specific aspect of the vast Java eco-system. But now you can't submit a pull request to the "team", you have to go to someone else who may, or may not, deem the request worthwhile.

So it causes a bit of friction of not having a single source of ownership to various features of the IDE.
If I remember right they're actually required to ship all trash back. There are no trash landfills in Antarctica.
youtube is a pit of spam in general. Basically any bigger video, every single comment that's even just somewhat high up either has a respond that says something like "check this out <video link>" or "see here <video link>", or a comment left by someone with a username along the lines of "click my profile picture for my pics" with a suggestive avatar
It's not paper or digits it's a social contract i.e. 'power'.
That's fair. I will say that my parents are loving it. They live in a very rural area.

Until Starlink, the fastest speed they could get from Verizon (the only provider they have access to) was maybe 4 to 5Mbps. And it was still capped at 20GiB a month. Starlink gets them 60 to 70Mbps during overcast/rainy days and 100 to 120Mbps on sunny days with no cap.

I know it isn't altruistic of Starlink to cover these areas, but at least they are. I can now see my parents via video chat multiple times a month vs. seeing them a couple of times a year.

Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, the cable providers, etc. just don't care about them. And rightfully so. They are an extremely small market. It annoys me how much money the US government has given to these ISPs in the hopes that they'll expand rural access, but they never do. Or they use the money to pay lobbyist to say "4g is fine for them"

No problem. People think that structural engineering is some kind of mystic art because the licensing and code regimes exist; however, the truth is that it's normally very straight forward if you have a basic grasp of Newtonian physics and a simple project (for some complex projects it is a mystic art - skyscrapers, tunnels, bridges, etc. are all situations where you have to invoke arcane spells like FEM, empirical approaches, and archaic portions of the code). This is especially true for shallow foundation design where the concrete behaves well (because the loading is so simple) and the code specified soil parameters are excessively conservative. Rather than looking at the code and going through the straight-forward analysis contained in the tiny little section that's applicable (and appropriately titled) most people will see that the code is hundreds of pages long with hundreds of sections and give up before realizing that the building code contains provisions for almost every scenario (building with concrete? there's a section. building with steel? there's a section. building with timber? there's a section. wall? section. beam? section. foundation? section. special circumstances like earthquake or wind or frost? section). Engaging with the code like you did assures that you are not taken for a ride by an unethical contractor or engineer, and it's something I would recommend every owner does before they embark on a project, but honestly a lot of the simple stuff (like a light foundation) is stuff that people used to just do themselves without designing anything and it's not any more safe because you have to get it stamped now. Your initial gut reaction for this simple stuff is usually within an order of magnitude, and often it will be more than is required because people don’t have a good sense of how strong modern building materials are.

As an aside and based on your other post, a slab might not have been the most economical solution for your particular problem. You probably could have just installed some small diameter piles under each solar panel post. I'm surprised your engineer didn't recommend it as this would have much more easily addressed the wind loading issue. Value engineering like this is the real benefit of engaging a knowledgeable/experienced engineer.

Cool Solidworks model. Easy 3D modeling has very much changed the game for small scale projects by allowing people to build a project on their computer and figure out all the little details that you'd normally screw up without an engineer. Having a working 3D model means that your design is probably at a higher level than most. It's cool to take something from an idea to a concept to physical reality.
