Well, I take you on your bet. Now you can go and retry it and if you manage to get that 99% I'd be genuinely surprised: from my experience, it's about 20% if that, and there are lots of Ukrainian-administered groups VK support team pretty adamantly refuses to "deal" with for the last half the year.
> Biden was introduced by Susan Bro, mother of Heather Heyer, who was killed during an August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. "Her murder resonated around the world, but the hate did not begin or end there," Bro said.

Not quite as resonant was the murder of Jessica Doty Whitaker [1], or the victims of Kori Ali Muhammad [2], the injured in the NY subway attack [3], or the killed in the Waukesha parade attack [4].

By pure coincidence, no such cases were so much as alluded to in this speech. But, since this is coincidence, the situation may well be reversed in the next speech Biden gives on hate. Or if not that one, then the one after it.

Because focusing on crimes committed by only one group, and ignoring crimes committed against that group, is something one would expect from hate-peddling tabloids, or 3rd world dictators getting ready for ethnic cleansing, and is certainly not something the leader of the free world would ever stoop to.

I worked for a local farmer in high school. One of the novelties he grew in small quantities were “square” watermelons[0]. When grown in a square fibreglass enclosure, the melons would conform to the cube shape.

I wonder if a pumpkin could be grown in a kayak-shaped mold to improve the maneuverability of the pumpkin boat.

I visited Costa Rica this year and this is what the rental house had. Bit freaky.
I recently finished up a leadership coaching training program of which a significant component was working with our dreams. Our instructor held that our dreams are a reflection of waking life, and vice-versa. That by becoming aware of and interacting with the images in our dreams we can learn about ourselves.

She showed us a process for "opening up" our night dreams. By writing them down, identifying patterns, and then looking for deeper meaning. Not through a fixed interpretation of symbols but something more fluid. We opened up a few of our night dreams as a group, including a couple of my own, and I was floored by how powerful and revealing the process was. We learned to use the same process for opening up situations in our waking lives too.

I was incredibly skeptical at first but now I'm sure there is much more to our dreams than we give them credit for. I remember reading once that for many ancient cultures, dreams played a significant role. At some point, probably during the Age of Enlightenment, we discarded them as frivolous.
Persuasion if you're thinking optimistically. It will be a brainwashing tool and propagandists wet dream come true and the political class will call it an education breakthrough.

The only detail left is to garbage collect and cancel the ones that won't fit the hegemony projected there.

Humanity is playing with fire all the time as it doesn't show to have enough psychological self-defense for that and is creating more ways to self-inflict that kind of damage than is able to heal it.
When I teach people, the most effective thing I find is to give them small usable projects at the end of each little milestone.

That helps them have something they can use right away, which helps with a few things:

- at each milestone, they have a distinct goal that’s reachable

- they can understand concrete use cases immediately

- they get a little dopamine hit if satisfaction of having completed something.

Whenever you’re doing a course that doesn’t structure itself that way, it’s good to try and break down the components and set yourself little tasks as you go.
Ideally your own hardware with nothing else running on it. For convenience you could use a VM assuming they were setup identically.
The entire thread is about Ethereum...
> Or perhaps more importantly, what is the c64 of my kid's generation that I can buy for her?

Raspberry Pi. The Pi 400 is especially close, with the same keyboard form factor and all.

It’s not as immediately programmable as the 8-bit micros were (hard to beat booting up right into a BASIC prompt for that), but Linux is still more tinkerable than most other devices you’ll encounter and the default Pi distro has a bunch of educational stuff preinstalled.

Using an old desktop that my dad had installed Linux onto had a huge impact on me in my formative years. I credit that for at least part of my career success.

What is even the point? Some of sort tax benefits?
My first thought is... how is this free if it's similar to FIGMA?

It sounds like they have basically bundled in a lot of their own icons/svg stuff and that's their business model? But even then building such an app seems like a huge investment if it's just a platform to sell your icons. So I must be missing something.

And how does it compare to Penpot?
I suspect marketing it as a decentralized computer that "doesn't have a cryptocurrency" makes it not a good fit for /r/cryptocurrency (probably a better fit for /r/cryptotechnology), though I think a shadow-ban is pretty excessive as a response

And to the point about it "not having a cryptocurrency" I didn't get a response on my last comment on Kindelia (copied below), but I think saying it "doesn't have a currency" is misleading, to be generous:

This is interesting. It's "not a cryptocurrency" in the sense that the network doesn't have an official token for paying transaction fees. My understanding is that users would still pay fees to make transactions, they can just pay those fees however they want (assuming other tokens of value are supported on the network).
There is still a cryptocurrency that produced for a block reward, used to incentivize proof of work consensus (it's not clear to me why proof of stake wouldn't be possible since there is a limited supply of this reward token), so it seems dishonest to claim Kindelia is a p2p computer that "isn't a cryptocurrency"
Yes, to me this basically sounds like ESPP without the discount
Another thing to keep in mind is that FedEx is a big time rail company. I can't imagine the rail union strikes are doing much to help with that.
How do you deploy this? I want to run slack bots on 0 running costs where possible.
Most houses are wired with master breaker(s) connecting the house to mains lines, and various slave breakers connecting the various lines around the house to the master breaker(s).

If you plug a generator into a wall outlet, that power will pass through the slave breaker protecting that particular circuit as the power flows around to the rest of the house.
the way our cities / communities are designed. Most Europeans will walk 10,000 steps in their average day; most Americans will struggle to get half that. It makes a huge difference over several years/decades.
They'd be better off just eating the tax hit. $250k salaries for sitting on a board of trustees is nice, but it ain't nothing like a $500 million inheritance
There are UX solutions to the problem of a messy feed. Let me go and choose my exclusion filters if I so choose.
There's a fun little book called "There Are No Electrons" the premise of which is that most early education on electricity is full of bullshit analogies, but that those are also misleading and confusing, so it basically sets out to present a different set of incorrect-but-useful analogies that're easier to understand and are good-enough to give you decent intuition for how electricity works—even if it's "well ackshually" entirely wrong.
The author linked to wrk2 but I think he ended up using a k6 executor that exhibits the problem wrk2 was designed to solve.
That hardcoded secret in the powershell script really was the key to the Uber ride-hailing kingdom – https://blog.gitguardian.com/uber-breach-2022.
A bit of that even though apl arguably push things too far (maybe that's what you implied). Parametric types also help making point, abstract combinators, recursive schemes.. All very helpful to define and manipulate ideas.
> The problem is that no automatic method we have now will catch context.

I disagree. The problem is that nobody is willing to be realistic about the limitations of automated moderation and proceed accordingly.

If we can't create an automatic method that catches context, the solution isn't to bemoan that AI can't magically do what we want. The solution is to remove the rules that require AI to understand context in the first place, because it is fundamentally outside of our technical ability, and any attempt to achieve it will fail.

The problem is people who think that context-based censorship is reasonable for a massive platform. It simply is not. It is reasonable at an individual level. It is reasonable at an interpersonal level. It's even reasonable at a small-group level, where specific individual human beings who are invested in the community can be aware of these context issues.

It is not reasonable at Facebook scale, full stop. Facebook should not be in the business of deciding to ban things like this. That is a responsibility that belongs at a lower level. What does that look like in practice?

If an individual posted it on their wall:

* That individual uses their judgement and chooses to post it or not

* The people who see it use their judgement and click the block button if they don't like it

If an individual posted it in a small group:

* The group can socially police such actions by commenting that they are upset by it

* The group's administrators can privately reach out to the person who posted it, explain that they can't post such things in that group, explain why, and explain what actions they could take to remain in good graces

* The group's administration can make a judgement call and remove the post, not on the basis of crude keyword detection, but on the basis of human understanding

If an individual posted in a large group:

* The large group can adopt clear and unambiguous rules that do not require context to administer, and enforce them accordingly on a case-by-case basis

* The large group can pre-commit to not dealing with such issues, and require their members to deal with it privately, like human beings

Trying to automate this process will always fail, and it will cause massive false-positive and false-negative issues as it does so. Engineers used to understand these concepts when I first entered industry 20 years ago. It's very disappointing to me that they either can't or won't now.
My mother in law is in a legal profession and they are constantly mailing stuff. For the past couple years she said they’ve switched to UPS even for overnight stuff. FedEx was way too expensive. She said even USPS could be faster and cheaper than FedEx. Shipped a few things overnight this year and UPS was cheaper.
Can you expound on this a bit? As the other commentor indicated, this is very interesting. Thank you for exposing me to this tidbit!
There is the Anderson connector for DC applications. The concept could be extended with a center ground contact and retractable shields.
Unless it is installed properly, that is just as dangerous as the cord in the article, as long as you remember the "plug generator in last" rule.

In particular, both can kill hapless power company employees by unexpectedly backfeeding into downed parts of the grid, and they have similar carbon monoxide/fire hazard issues.

(Not that there is anything wrong with the product; I wish they were mandatory, so they'd reliably be inspected after installation!)
Haha, thank you.
If you tell nginx to limit itself to 4 workers x 1024 connections per worker = 4096 connections, and hurl 10k connections at it, of course it's going to throw errors. It's doing exactly what you told it to do.

That's just one example of how OP's "optimized" nginx config is barely even optimized. There are lots of other variables that you can tweak to get even better performance and blow Caddy out the window, but those tweaks are going to depend on the specific workload you expect to handle. There isn't a single, perfectly optimized, set of values that's going to work for everyone.

The beauty of Caddy is that you get most of that performance without having to tweak anything.
Yes, the pretext matters. Border searches is the topic of the article.
Don't you think that would be a pretty big PR risk?
Thanks. That’s an idea.
I bet you my now defunct and cobwebbed Facebook account that they're using AI algorithms for large-scale content moderation, with individual "suspect" cases being forwarded to an Amazon Mechanical Turk style place where people make pennies on the dollar following strict lists of instructions where any deviation or any leeway in free-thought is punished by immediate dismissal.
Well, there is a single value. It's called the speed limit. All roads in my country have one.

I trust you will support dynamic vehicle speed limiters based on the local limit when the technology catches up in a few years.

In the meantime, how about 100 mph (which is 15 mph faster than the highest speed limit in the continent of North America)?
We’ll I was specifically asking if there are examples of people being killed by police for refusing a search without a warrant, so it matters insofar as it’s the question I asked.

I’m not here to defend policing as it stands in the US or dismiss any wrongful killing. I just disagree with a particular narrow assertion.
This is one of the best lines from any movie ever.

I used it on a much younger co-worker of mine when he was having an issue with a website and it turned out to be a problem with cookies.

It was clear to me from his facial response that he had never seen the movie. It didn't go over well.
You can always tell ads to fuck off with the fuckoff.yt extension.
Depending on your volume, you can negotiate better rates. (I work for a company that audits Fedex and helps customers get better rates)
Counterpoint: cats.
Why on earth would employers want to eliminate those massive returns? That's been an amazing tool for employee retention, especially for FAANG. If they reverted to paying cash plus bonus, they would be less competitive when hiring and retaining people.

The companies that are changing this are the ones whose stock tanked, and they are worried that employees will leave because of it. Companies whose stock did not tank are retaining their normal compensation programs.
Christmas lights typically are male/female so that can daisy-chain the together to cover a longer distance. Rather than have to buy a 400 foot cable you would have 4x100, or 8x50. This is useful so you can more freely extend your decoration, or replace a smaller failed section. If you start with them the wrong way, you have to reverse all the cables.
Corporate security teams are built on three different traditions:

1. The policy/compliance tradition - the kind of people who looked at PCI-DSS and decided that was what they wanted to devote their life to. The accountants of the tech world. You've got resources and want to roll out U2F? That's not in the policy document, we'd rather spend the resources on this great audit of our suppliers' compliance that I've been planning....

2. The be-lazy-be-popular tradition - for the team that hires a guy to reduce other people's workload, not increase it. Resources to roll out U2F? I won't stop you if you've got the money to spend, but what we've got is probably enough - a lot of companies don't use U2F, you know.

3. The hacker tradition - the kind of people who see every real, exploitable vulnerability they find as proof of their 1337 status. They don't care if a policy document says you should disable paste, that's bad advice, don't do it. Rolling out U2F sounds like a great idea - but a lot of corporate environments will chase these types out, or curb their enthusiasm by ignoring their reports.

Perhaps kirbys-memeteam worked in companies with security teams that tended more towards traditions 1 and 2, while your employer's security team had more of tradition 3?
Your chances of admission are probably significantly better than you think.

I did my BS in computer science at a mid-lower-tier state school - it wasn't like I was all-world Stanford/MIT/CMU or anything. I did a bunch of GRE practice tests and have always been a very strong standardized test-taker so I had that going for me.

I also had cultivated strong references at my undergrad institution. My references were professors I had multiple classes under and that I had actually spent time with during office hours. You may have those sources available to you but I would guess that a decent fallback might be former commanding officers?

The school where I got my MS also had stories about active duty Air Force students coming in full-time for a PhD, mowing through the check-lists of to-do work, and finishing their PhD in the three years the AF gave them to do it.

Your military background may be a strong point in your favor. Also, I vaguely remember that military retirees often had some tuition assistance programs. Grad schools LOVE students with external funding sources. Look into this.

Lastly, it sounds like you have a good story to tell. Tell that story in your application letter!
That depends mightily on the subreddit though, as always. The better ones flair or ban the propaganda posts.
I often tell people that if they want to see a fun movie, see Hackers, but if they want to know what hacking is like, see Sneakers.

... though the all-nighter scene in Hackers where they just "flow" out some code while techno plays over the montage is also pretty accurate.
My point was that we can just establish that "have a sec?" is (typically) never spooky, this is a different way to combat anxiety and ultimately makes working together more straightforward and simple.

The scary stuff is always meant to exactly resemble an innocuous request in the attempt to exactly not panic the employee even though they have all right to be panicking
Holiday lights are the main scenario (which is why these signs are often seasonal). Someone will spend hours stringing up lights only to find that they strung backwards with the female end dangling near their desired outlet.

USB cables / “plug & play” have made this more confusing for those with no understanding of electricity; nor do we as a society routinely educate children (or adults) on basic electrical responsibility.
Except getting assets out of Figma is a huge pain. Trying to select the layers you need (if even possible), not being able to flatten layers into an exported image, not being able to compress the exported image...
Whoever green lit the decision to use a female NEMA plug plus a specific converter box should be banned from product design. It would have probably been fractional cents more expensive to use a male plug on the snow blower.
For the tech sector it's really been more like the last 22 years. There hasn't been an extended downturn in US tech stock since the original dot-com bubble. The 2008 recession ended up being a 1-2 year blip. The COVID contraction was extremely brief. By comparison, if you invested in the NASDAQ in 1999/2000, you'd need to wait 12-14 years to break even.

I don't have a crystal ball, of course, but to me things are looking a lot closer to 2000 than 2008.
I think they still are.

But it now covers a much wider space of topics. While there are certainly some things which have become annoying or boring, there are also a lot of really fun and exciting things.

I specifically have gotten into machine learning, deep learning, and this gets really exciting currently. I think all the topics around artificial intelligence, robotics etc will see lots of further excitement in the upcoming years.
How will you prevent people from using this technology to create DIY pathogens? If the answer is "I won't" or "it'll be open source, I won't be able to", consider doing something less harmful instead.
It at the low end of mid-level developer salary range. Some companies will pay close to that to a bright, promising Junior with 2 years of experience.
No. Your total compensation is fixed. You're deciding how much of it goes to stock (as opposed to your _grant size_ being fixed).
That statement is confusing to me, by ambient temperature do they mean surface temperature? I thought it was impossible to cool something below ambient without adding energy into the mix?
The entire package bundled and minified is ~14.4kb. No extra dependency needed. Just one package `@dflex/dnd`.
Stock Grants are not an "expense" under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. So by paying in stock, instead of salary, it increases profits on paper. It does help with cash flow and other tangible benefits.

Most employees would be wise to divest much of their company stock as soon as they are allowed. Don't have all your eggs in one basket.
As a foreigner to the US I see this as a simple display of power: See how powerful we are over you, we can and will exert control over you, your data and your belongings. If you want to enter our Empire you will belong to us and will allow us to plug all your orifices.

No way I felt like that when travelling to the UK or to continental Europe.

The real answer is to avoid traveling there. Empires crumble when they become irrelevant. And for US citizens, they should definitely strive to create a society with more freedom and privacy for them. But only if they want that, which doesn't seem that way nowadays.
Startups will offer stock and win.

If tech workers were united in fleeing giants to found or work at nimble upstarts, we would reap nearly all of the rewards.
You can probably buy pictures of IDs from India or some other place where people don't care much about not being able to use Twitter.
It made me smile - I'm now using WACUP for my mp3s, but this was a great bit of nostalgia, thankyou :-)
I hope California wins this. This is such a frustrating thing that Amazon does enforce. They will ban you if they find out you are selling the same item for cheaper on your own website or on eBay.

To me, this is akin to the credit card companies disallowing a discount for paying with cash/check. Which was made illegal. Though I'm not sure if by law or legal case.
I run a social media marketing service; we stream all reddit content (~110 posts/comments per second). We run text analysis on comments and bot detection on popular posts.

Most people don’t understand how many bots are influencing public discourse on reddit. It’s really concerning, particular that the “real” users on reddit tend to be young and impressionable.
Learning the soroban (Japanese Abacus) as an adult, 1 year review
If the primary (not sole) purpose of college is to land a premium entry level job that sets you on a significant wealth acquisition trajectory as a laborer then they are not worthless at all and may be the primary thing you care about.

Everyone knows this in these institutions but the kayfabe is that this is not the primary purpose of college, despite it so clearly being the case for the vast majority of students.
