The key to happy Facebooking for me is to keep it to people I don't routinely have any other way of keeping in touch with - so it's mostly hobby groups, people I've met while traveling, a few former co-workers...

In particular, I do not friend or follow any family, neighbors, current co-workers, etc.
Your conclusion is debatable. Europe is mostly a functioning society (and has been for 20+ years) but its equity market has not necessarily beaten the risk free asset (depending on the country). So I would not necessarily correlate a country's equity market perfomance with its well-being.
Adam (cofounder) - Yes we evaluate applicants holistically. Rust is still newish and we have a mix of team members that came with lots of experience to just some familiarity. I have a strong philosophy that Ditto's success starts with a great team (build the inputs to get outputs concept), so aptitude is a major factor - please apply if interested!

It is anyway a lot easier to simulate a solid that has no defects. But many properties found that way turn up in defect-ridden, real materials too.

A truly periodic substrate lets you wrap it in a closed universe just big enough for what you hope to make live in it.
The penalty point is an important one for the above. If you only plan on holding them for the minimum of 12 months and the second half interest rate is 3% then your effective annualized return is 5.48% (1.0962^.5*1.03^.25).

>I-bonds issued today yield essentially zero percent after inflation, and this will be true for as long as you hold them.

Yes and no, I-bonds use a trailing inflation definition so you receive a real advantaged proportionally to the difference in current and past inflation rates; this is of course speculative.
Indeed, I think the American or perhaps the Canadian or Australian models were what Swedes had in mind when the allowed all the immigrants in from the Middle East. However, I think the entire point of the article is to point out the fact that not all immigrants - or cultures, in general - are the same. "Time" did not prove to be a miracle drug in ethnically and religiously war-torn Lebanon. And, given the ethnic and cultural proximity of these immigrants to Lebanon, it could be a more accurate reflection of the type of social tension that Sweden may be heading into, especially if the immigration from these countries continues. I'm not even making a value judgement at this point. I'm simply pointing out the fact that "Time" did not appear to cause Syria or Lebanon to be like Sweden as it was 20 years ago, or as you imagine it a hundred years from now. The thought that immigration always works out, even when the underlying cultures are incompatible, could be an illusion - one that Sweden is paying dearly for.
So grab a random “standard” USB C cable. What are the chances that it will charge my MacBook Pro 16 inch that does support “standard” USB C?

Will that “standard” USB C cable that comes with my Beats Flex headphones charge my iPhone 12 Pro Max? My Anker battery?
Thanks, I knew there were discussions of it back then on bitcointalk and probably bitcoin wizards irc, just not where to find them. The bitcointalk thread seems to confirm #1 - it was just technically difficult to do back then.
> So they monitor all chat for badthink.

"Badthink"? Please. They engage in automatic moderation based on keywords and maybe some ML to detect spam, like any other company. And only based on chats that happen in already-public servers that have opted into the server discovery feature.

> Inappropriate access to hardware and private information.

Inappropriate? Private information? Name one server that wouldn't store some analytics data about your user agent and IP.

> So not only do they monitor chat they monitor it for someone's life being in danger. Not sure how this is their responsibility.

If Discord gets a T&S ticket about a possible suicide attempt, what do you think they should do about it, ignore it? I would hope that Discord would use their best judgement and the information at their disposal to notify the proper authorities, as long as the authorities in question could be trusted to act in a non-confrontational manner (unfortunately, most can't and often inflame the situation)

> Say something 2 years ago that is logged forever and law enforcement goes on a fishing expedition when the party in power thinks its wrongthink.

Okay, and? How is that "discord is just spying equipment"? If you have a server with archival logs and search capabilities, which are feature that users really, really value out of discord compared to e.g. IRC, then you're not going to get out of the requirement to present those logs to authorities if legally required.
I don't see them challenging the veracity of media any more than photoshop and video editing already do, specially since ML can be used to automatically detect tampering. So, what's the damage to society you fear?
I think something that's missing from this discussion is why Sweden has had such liberal immigration policies the last two decades. It's often chalked down to some sort of misguided naivety, but the truth is the entire welfare system is in real trouble unless the proportion of young people isn't inflated somehow.

The generation born in the '50s and '60s is retiring now, and it's much larger than subsequent generations. Retirement age is 67. Their healthcare and pension is paid for by the working population, who hope the next generation will pass on the torch.

That's just not going to work if the elderly equal or outnumber the working-aged population. Liberal immigration is at least a plan to avert this demographical trainwreck of a disaster. Is it sustainable? Is it even a good plan? Dunno. But the other option isn't pretty either.
>This protest hasn't received world wide attention in the news

I'm in faraway Nigeria, and I'm seeing this stuff on the news much against my wishes even.
Maybe it's the 3D sphere
I’ve read a lot of conflicting research about warming up before exercise. With evidence it improves, does nothing, or reduces performance depending on the specifics etc.

My intuition is cold hands would be a risk, but I don’t particularly trust such intuition.
Services doesn't necessarily mean internet based. If I run a local coffee shop, I can sell one bag of coffee or a subscription to monthly coffee, just pay upfront and come in to the store to pick it up.
Maybe not, but what's the alternative? Should we give up because of incompatibilities and go back to proprietary cables for everyone? Do we move back to DC jacks that offer no voltage negotiation so you can blow up your 5V battery pack with a 24V input?

You're letting perfect be the enemy of good here.

Also I think the ideal endgame is that your Beats Flex headphones don't come with cables at all because of standardization. Look at Apple (and most phone manufacturers) no longer packaging chargers.
Its true that Weston Price's work is controversial, but stating that he is a quack and not accepted by the mainstream does not mean that he is wrong.

It was also mainstream at one time for doctors to not wash their hands while delivering babies.
Seriously, when I first landed on the page without reading anything else I thought it was text to speech with the “micro machine” example and I was floored. The speech to text is obviously mind blowing too.
It's true that the one who counts the votes matters and this doesn't change with mail voting / in-person voting

The one advantage of physical voting I can think of is the ability to just be close to voting station on voting day, counting people who go in there, asking people (who are willing to share) for whom did they vote. This allows to independently check if fraud exists.
What I found funny (but apparently was easily misunderstood) is how the poster I replied to was talking so seriously and correctly about stabilizing mechanisms in real (as in world) currencies in the first half, then gave the details on the ‘stabilizing’ mechanism of the ‘stable coins’ - which is they collapse and die if the gap gets too big, and it’s impossible to ‘withdraw’ without spending more on tx fees than you’d get out.

Which, I believe is correct and also about as stabilizing as a deadman’s switch on an explosive vest held by an gorilla. Which, hey, gorillas are pretty smart, if they know they aren’t supposed to let go, they’ll try. But it’s not a good idea to spend much time in their vicinity in such a situation.

I’d assumed it was an attempt at dry humor, straight man/ad-absurdism style, which I appreciated.
I don't care how much money you have or make. $4 billion can buy an enormous amount of stuff, it is in no way essentially nothing.
There's been a gradual relaxing of adherance to the hijab in Iran for decades, and this year a woman was murdered because of her 'lax' hijab. You are entertaining the idea that this _could_ be an israeli plot, which you don't have evidence for, alongside the idea it's just "angry women". So yes, even _with_ the context, it sounds a lot like you're spouting conspiracy theories behind a veil of "but I'm just asking _'what if'_?"
I think it is how it works since always. Book tours on bookstores and book interviews (newspapers, tv, and radio) are a way of promoting book sales on launch for some time. Just added podcasts to the mix.
i think they were using waxes/oils that were not fluorinated in any sense, last time i looked.
If we're selecting for mediagenic authors with a lot of Twitter followers, we're going to get the culture we deserve. I grant that publishers have always selected for things other than the quality of the book alone, just observing that this has an effect.
In my experience, contractors will build exactly what I ask for without challenging unimportant details that would have made things easier. My interpretation is that because they have so much internalized knowledge, they assume that I obviously know many of the same things that they do, and that I have already considered any such changes and actively decided against them. I've since learned to do what was suggested above.

It's been a valuable lesson for myself to question just how much of my internalized "obvious" knowledge about technical matters is apparent to clients and partners. Never assume.
We have to process the request regardless of whether we actually have your data or not.
They actually wanted medium-bypass engines. Low-bypass relative to modern airliner engines, but high-bypass relative to supersonic military turbofans.
I am also wondering about your confidence given the fact that there are obviously memory bugs during development... what gives you so much confidence that no memory bugs exist in released versions? Do you have an extensive test suite with valgrind /etc to ensure that there aren't any memory bugs before a release but some can slip in in intermediate versions? Or what do you do that gives you the confidence to say that there aren't any memory bugs in the released versions? Or what is involved in all the extra effort it takes to make a memory bug free c program?
With different adjectives = "good", "stable", and "supported" are three fairly effective ones.
As you say though, the cost is all the difference. Is business class the correct proxy?
Is there a self-hosted option?
When you buy a plane for 1 pound/franc, and don't have to worry about paying any development or manufacturing costs, you should be able to make money. If you can't, it's a serious problem!

And I'm not sure that Air France was actually making money. The story I heard was that AF wanted to retire their fleet after the accident, because they hadn't made money on it. BA balked because they were making money but having to pay full costs of fleet maintenance equipment, rather than splitting those with AF, changed the numbers enough that BA would have lost money, so the whole fleet was retired.

Microsoft has been a particularly bad actor in this space. They have been hiring lobbyists to advocate at the state level for shitty "consumer privacy bills", specifically because they want to forestall and kneecap federal legislation.

Well, if you and your spouse had put in 10k at the end of 2021, and again in 2022, and then put another 10k at the start of 2023 you will have built up your I-Bond allocation to $60k in about a 13-14 month timeframe.

What is nice about a position of that size is that that amount is in the ballpark of a typical families expenditures in a year (ignoring the occasional big ticket items like a car), which means you have essentially hedged away your exposure to inflation.

So yeah, $10k is not a lot, but that is an annual limit, not a lifetime limit. And a good way to hedge inflation is to build an I-Bond allocation that is equivalent to your annual expenses which for most households should only take a few years to get to. And an added bonus is that selling your I-Bonds early has fairly minimal penalties and can be sold at face value (i.e. not subject to market swings) so your I-Bond allocation can double as an emergency fund.
What's the deal with these expensive Chromebooks? Who needs a $1K Chromebook when you can get a good laptop for that kind of money?
Those are good slogans, but they represent different, parallel ideas.

This is what I'm getting at; in changing the language, you change the idea, and an abolitionist agenda becomes a reformist one.

If you want to advocate for reform, then that's great, that makes sense. But telling people who are advocating abolition, "you're doing it wrong because you aren't doing it my way or appealing to my sensibilities," is patronizing.

And it won't be long until someone says, "Safer Police alienates law enforcement, we should call it 'Better Policing', that way we're sure to be taken seriously," and after a few rounds of this you're left with nothing. It's a losing game.

Society at large will take you seriously when they can't pretend otherwise anymore, because you have repeatedly demonstrated the veracity of your views, often for decades. There is no end to the excuses people can come up with to dismiss you if that is what they want to do. People either won't change their minds, will change their own mind, or will have some experience that shakes up their world view. The rhetoric you use almost doesn't matter; you can't change someone's mind _for them_, no matter what you say. The most you can do is share your ideas, giving them the opportunity to change their mind, if they so choose. What matters is that you're a part of the conversation, and that what you're demanding is just. People will come around. The ones who don't will get old and die.

"Safer Police" would've been radical 20 years ago. Many people's world views were shaken up by repeated videos of police misconduct. "Defund the Police" is radical currently; in 10, 20 years, it might well be mainstream.
That was.... highly unexpected.
Youtube already has it's own HDR video codec with VP9. Also, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision aren't HDR formats, they're formats for storing dynamic metadata that can help TVs better display HDR video. The article seems to misinterpret what their purpose is. HDR video can be presented just fine without HDR10+ or Dolby Vision.
First off, it seems that the model can easily run on M1/M2 with minor modification. However `aten::_index_put_impl_` operator is current not supported and fallback always slows things down quite a lot.

Second, is there a bug with how the script processes incoming audio segments? For a short 4 second clip, what I got was:

> [00:00.000 --> 00:03.760] Okay, Eunice, travel plans. I need to be in New York on Monday, L.A. on Tuesday, New York on Wednesday, L.A. on Thursday. You're knocking Friday. Got it?

> [00:03.760 --> 00:28.760] Got it.

However the final segment should have been shy of 1 second.
It mistakenly thinks the last segment was 25 seconds long and makes you wait for processing.
Further, editing your message to completely remove all trace of the original is highly disingenuous.

Even if there is strong concern for CIA and Mossad in this situation, do you think your snark does anything to improve the situation? Do you think it brings people towards, or pushes people away from your position? Or perhaps people just read your snark and think "im not going to even fucking pay attention to this guy"? Or is it just for your own shits and giggles?

You know you're relying on Sweden's council for crime prevention to provide an argument that Sweden's council for crime prevention is doing a good job at handling crime - right?

The thing you excerpted doesn't even make sense. Let's write <country's method of rape count>-<country being evaluated> - so, S-S is Sweden's measures of Sweden's rape count, and G-S is Germany's measure of Sweden's rape count. What this article is saying is that S-S is by far the highest rape count in Europe. G-S is significantly higher than G-G. But, if you were to go through all the countries of Europe, and find E-E then G-S would be somewhere in the middle. What? What kind of a methodology is this? How would Sweden rank if you took G-E for every country in Europe?

"Sure, we're a global leader in bombings. Yes, we're a regional leader in shooting murders. Yes, we're a regional leader in humiliation robberies targeting our children. And, yes, if you look at our official statistics we seem to be the regional leader in rapes as well - but this is a right-wing conspiracy because of this nonsense analysis!"
You might be underappreciating genetic component here. Difference between sexes are very likely evolutionary, rather than social.
Very weird that the bombings and violence happen in the cities yet the vast majority of SD voters live deep in the countryside or in much smaller towns.
Something is fishy… maybe the real issue is that people in the country-side everywhere in the world (US, France, Portugal, Sweden, etc…) feel like they are losing and have been losing for a few decades now.
That's not a fair summary of what happened in those cases. The article doesn't even argue those judges were wrong! It just says, in essence, "Here's a list of cases where judges said this didn't happen, as opposed to Missouri v Biden where a judge said it did, which we will spend the rest of the article discussing." And the person I'm responding to for some reason listed the former rather than the latter in responding to someone looking for examples, and somehow I'm the one getting downvoted.

Dammit, there's a reasonable discussion to have over this. Biden said, "Misinformation on Facebook is killing people." Facebook said, "Oh crap, the president is calling us out, that looks bad so let's block stuff." Is that censorship? Maybe! It kinda is, and it kinda isn't! We could argue about it! But not while we're arguing over semantic crap like this. It felt like a good and useful thing to do, to point out when something is taken egregiously out of context like that, but now I really regret even wading in.

I've been a GeForce Now subscriber since the start. It's a good service that is prevented by publishers from being great.

Two major pain points for me:

1) I can't play my whole library. During the beta I was able to play pretty much my whole steam library but that changed after GFN went live. I accept that some titles may have technical limitations but thats far from universal. Like, why can't I play Red Dead Redemption II on GFN but I can on Stadia? Pure publisher bullshit, that's why

2) I wish Nvidia made it possible to apply mods to games. Steam workshop mods work if supported but the majority of games do not support that. I don't often mod but when I do its usually to correct some 'quality of life' issue.

I ended up buying a Steamdeck to game on instead of GFN.. I hope the arbitrary restrictions holding it back disappear someday
An RSS reader with a curated list of sources is good too.

Google News has become a trash heap, full of gossip and propaganda, and changes constantly in relation to what I last searched. It's converging with the Facebook feed

I couldn’t disagree more strongly; the fact that you can write this and not worry for the rest of your life about being killed is the whole point.

I urge you to reread 1984, and focus on how people who broke the rules were treated. People weren’t deplatformed or cancelled, they were murdered.
In most fields of study you can't really perform double-blind experiments. We know that smoking is linked to cancer through decades of correlational studies and careful analysis of confounding factors, for example.

The article discusses how the study looked at different universities during the same time period, some of which had access to facebook and some of which didn't, and discovered that in the first case there was an increase in mental health issues over that period. There could still be confounders, sure, (or the sample size could be too small etc.), but at a first glance, that's not an unreasonable approach, as it tries to isolate the variable "facebook yes/no".

That said, if you haven't read the article, I'm not sure why you even felt the need to comment? This is exactly the same kind of shallow dismissal I was calling out.
This reminds me of the question: if a jailer asks an inmate to have sex, and they do, has a crime been committed? Perhaps not, but when the government "asks" for something it's hard to interpret it as anything other than "bad things are going to happen to me if I don't." Unlike some tech company, you can't really run away from the government.
I agree, he's pretty great. Really intelligent guy.

Creative expression is related to intelligence, but if it was linearly correlated then the most intelligent modern humans would be the world's greatest artists with few exceptions, which is not the case. It is a distinct ability, which is why some children are very good artists despite their comparative lower IQ in contrast to adults. Other creatures that approach the intelligence of human children don't exhibit creative expression. And no, training apes and elephants to paint blotches on a canvas really doesn't count since it's not of their own accord. Other animals, and every other ape we are distantly related to are not artistically creative beyond tool making, but tool making is utilitarian and not a pure form of creative expression for its own sake. Thus, it's really not farfetched to assume that other species of Homo aren't as artistic given a lack of art demonstrated to have been produced by them. It may have nothing to do with intelligence at all.
aztec.network is a L2 for Ethereum that is private while still allowing interactions with (some) smart contracts on L1. It batches requests to them.

Similar tech to this could become standard on Ethereum L2s in the future after more optimisations.

I'm pretty sure withdraws from Ren darknodes are private as they come from the network itself and aren't correlates to your node.
I've noticed instagram does this too.

You try to create a second account and they will "suspend" you automatically and force you through a verification system.
