Exposure is neither a sufficient nor necessary condition. But exposure increases the propagation. You have this realization yourself when you say "grew up surrounded by", which is one way people get exposed.

There are many case studies in the real world.

"Go find a racist podcast and see how many episodes it takes for you to start thinking that jews and black people are inferior."

That is what happens, though. Not with probability one, but with a probability decently above zero.

Rwandan genocide being incited over radio, 1930s/1940s Germany being incited by the press and speeches, same with 1930s Japan.

Many mass shooters that targeted specific ethnicities were radicalized online. Dylan Roof. Also the recent guy that wrote the N word on his gun. These were white nationalists. The latter said it wasn't his offline world, it was purely online where he got radicalized.

You're just making assertions that it's not like this but our best understanding of ideas that they are social and contagious.
A plea to front end developers: make your text larger
> Symlinks are just as problematic honestly, an app writing to it will change the object in the persistent "immutable" storage.

Well, anything stored by git-annex has read-only file permissions. Apps will follow the symlink, yes, but they will fail to write to the location if they try.

> The way the "check out" feature works is also weird, causing a change in the shared version history.

Unlocking a file changes it from a symlink to a git-annex pointer file from git’s perspective (git-annex accomplishes this via git’s smudge filter interface), but you don’t have to commit the unlock. You can unlock, modify locally, re-lock, and commit the new changed version in one go. It’s nice that you can commit the unlocking action itself if you want a file to be unlocked in all clones of the repository. You can choose whether to commit the unlock depending on if it fits your use case.

For curious readers, https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/unlocked_files/ discusses these topics in more detail.
Actually asked a recruiter about this because I'd noticed the same. More people staying put, so fewer replies, so they are blasting out to a wider audience and loosening search criteria. It's a numbers game even more so.
And you'd think someone with three decades of experience would have seen the cycle of software "novelty", ignorance, and rediscovery turn a few times.

I feel like I have to comment. I can't speak to the others, but Lil Nas X is hardly political. He is just black and gay. And people don't like that, because it undermines cultural expectations of black people and gay people at the same time. He doesn't fit into an advertisement checkbox. This makes people with narrow viewpoints uncomfortable. And so his very existence becomes 'political'.

He does regularly troll on twitter, but it isn't like he is pushing an agenda other than trying to exist /how he exists/ and not for /how you would like him to exist/.

If Lil Nas X is political, then so is Kieth Urban. Both of them are just writing songs about what they know, but somehow only the less mainstream artist is considered 'political'.
Getting gas is not easy. But have a solar or wind slowly charging an easier to maintain vechicle … why 1st world. In fact due to apartment living some cannot go there.
There's discourse on social media, often in the form of comments. IG comments, YouTube comments, etc. I bin HN in social media where speakers are generally unverified, expertise is little known, and there's little social punishment for lying. Arguably the quality of discussion is higher here than other places, but I don't think so. I just find the topics here more relevant than other places.
It does. Look at Alex Jones and Trump. Their reach was significantly cut after deplatforming.

It's not about surefire ways to silence someone. You're setting up a burden that's too high for no good reason. It's about whether it works in practice to an extent.
I don't buy this argument.

Most people can charge during the day. Employers often provide free EV charging, but even if they don't, power will be mostly free during daylight hours moving forward (due to solar). Also, employers that require people to commute almost universally provide parking lots that could be retrofitted with chargers.

In the worst case (only charge at night, run battery to 0% every day at sunset, leave at sunrise, power company bans charging at night), someone could install a stationary battery with about 120% the EV's charge. That's overly pessimistic and still only a factor of 2.2 on the price of the battery.

Over a 5-10 year period, EVs currently pay for themselves in saved money on gasoline.

Crossing the Mojave seems easy enough to me. There would need to be charging stations evey ~100 miles. Finding space for the necessary solar capacity would not be an issue. The stations could charge 2-4x "city' rates and would be very profitable.

You can already cross the Mojave in even a low range tesla, for what it is worth. (Victorville -> Las Vegas; they say you need to charge for 20 minutes in Baker, CA)
Oh, sure, there’s reasons they’ll take our bucks. And if what we’re buying is “value add” and not basically raw resources, there can be other issues.

But slurping up the middle East’s oilshake whilst sitting on our giant reserves is a good trick whilst it works.
"That said, I don't see where they say that fuck poor Asians, or where they say that being black entitles someone to more social help/justice than being a poor Asian. "

It isn't just Asians, any racial minority that is "too" successful, like Jews, Indians, Asians, Persians, etc, would be hurt by Kendi's ideas because they are essentially just the same philosophy that is mocked in the story Harrison Bergeron. Kendi thinks any difference in outcome between racial groups proves racism and thus must be fixed.
"We need to move to a model where we are openly, explicitly granting and enforcing monopolies on the production of certain works in return for some societal benefit. Not just assuming that society always benefits when monopolies on reproduction are granted."

Yeah, right. See my reply to Worldblender, it's my more detailed and pessimistic take on things.
Agreed. There are lithium production issues for the near future so plug-in hybrids mean you can make 10 PHEVs with a range of 40 km instead of one EV with a range of 400 km. Making PHEVs instead of EVs will cut fuel usage more.
My big question is "what's for lunch?"
I live in Vietnam and we have EVs for "normal people" here.

EV doesn't mean "cars". The V is for vehicles. We've had electric scooters on the roads for many years. In some cities, especially in the north they are nearly the majority of vehicles on the road.

But even if you limit yourself to cars, a friend just bought a Volvo S90 Recharge electric car to drive in Ho Chi Minh City.

And the first electric bus route launched earlier this year.

Toyota will never be very popular in Vietnam. If anything the Kia Smile is probably the most popular car and will be for a long time.
I just recently listened to 2 great of Darknet Diaries covered Citizenlab, NSO, and Pegasus.

https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/99/
https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/100/

The gist is that the NSO group is a company that sells malware which they claim is only ever used to catch bad guys, but the podcast makes a pretty compelling case that they know that repressive governments and even companies use it to target journalists and activists.
Proving the absence of a 0 day for whatever your solution you are using is always going to be difficult. But dwelling in thoughts like this is close to crossing the border to FUD territory. And who says there isn't a 0 day for Firebase auth?

We can put our faith in systems that have been hardened over the years and are easy and reliable to implement. And email + hashed/salted password belongs to them. And by that, I specifically mean using a library that takes over the hash/salting part for you. For me, not rolling your own crypto not only means not implementing your own hash algorithm, but also staying off-the-shelf with the code that calls said cryptographic functions.

I also like to stay conservative with regards to session cookies vs. JWTs. One has been around for more than 2 decades, is well understood, and has some really solid cross-browser security measures behind it (HttpOnly, Secure Cookie, etc.)

I personally like using the Django contrib auth library for this purpose.
Agreed. But "going to bid" will almost certainly constrain to a profit motive.

Even if there was a case where a bidder is non-profit, I can't fathom how they would bid on a project with the intent to be in the red. Maybe there are more exotic ways to run a lab, but it seems like the choice is to either figure out how to work with a profit motive or be a primarily civil servant lab.

The govt can sometimes try a "best value" award instead of low bidder, but that tends to make lawyers skittish because it opens up avenues for the losing bidders to protest the award.

They aren't that now. You can get a used Leaf for $6k.
whaaaaaaaaat, liquidated directly from the paypal account, does that mean with connected accounts too?
Hopefully that is talking about the messages you can attach to payments and not off platform messages.
> EVs are definitely going to remain a first-world item

And that's fine. Remember, EV cars don't just compete with ICE vehicles. They compete with walkable cities, bicycles, scooters(ICE or EV), busses and other mass transit. They will face that competition even in the first-world.
History is replete with examples of this
> in PayPal’s sole discretion

So I’m deleting my PayPal account.

What do they consider “obscene”. Is it me saying ‘piss’ ‘shit’ or ‘fuck’? Why can’t we have clear guidelines with these things.
Ooooh nice!!! That is amazing but how viable is common lisp for low level programming. Instead of embedding CL, what about a DSL that creates binaries, does something like this exist?
Not in easily accessible Western media, obviously. You have to follow Indian, Chinese or other unaligned sources. Indian outlets would be the easiest. However the best and most striking is to follow the Russian/Slavic channels in Telegram. The footage there is incredible (not gore). They post what Ukrainians post online - drones in flight just before hitting their target. Drones passing over. Multiple drones flying in and hitting their targets despite immense air defense fire. One drone even hit a weapons depot and the resulting fire from the explosion lasted for a day.

Is the $2500 fee new, or are they just changing the text?

If it's new... I would never consider doing business under those terms. Some of those clauses are vague enough that you're all but agreeing Paypal can just take $2500 from you whenever they feel like it.

Sure hope they never have any financial issues where $2500 seems a lot more immediately valuable to them than your future patronage.
Those tools didn't work well for things that need to adjust to different screen/window sizes or even for localization causing text elements to change size. For that kind of stuff you need some kind of dynamic layout like springs & struts, flexbox, etc. I think Qt and XCode have drag and drop UI designers for layout systems that work that way, instead of picking an exact position for things you pick their location and size relative to their contents and things around them. I find just using CSS to be easier to think about than those but they're nice for trying things out.
Doesn't matter. The ideas are sound. Also, those ideas are not unusual for the people who were around during the inception of the early Internet. We all thought like that, that was the norm. We still think like that.
I'm not clear, is the system enclosure plastic? Not trying to detract from this good-looking project, but that's not a great material for conducting out heat.

That's not too far off from the cost for a replacement for the Model S packs. It can be much less expensive than $200/kwh for third party shops, as the bad battery can be refurbished often offsetting much of the cost.
The point is that doesn't make them a bookseller!
This is effectively just another generic "you will not do anything we don't like" clause that allows them to punish you for whatever they want.
Lithium is plentiful. Refineries and mines might be scarce, but that (and dozens of other supply chain issues) will be fixed, and all of a sudden EV supply will skyrocket.
You really think the average player has long term memory, reads multiple newspapers on a daily basis and knows all the shenanigans of Google?

Unlikely, I don't know what "continental Europe" means here, but DE&I is gaining a lot of traction in Western/Central Europe. In countries whose history is completely different from the US' and where it makes literally no sense to think of race this way.
The Toyota hybrids get better fuel economy in hybrid mode though. The Volt is better than a Prius due to the electric-only range, but not better than a Prius Prime.

It's crazy they cancelled the Volt to bring out the Bolt which is short range and slow to charge.

Sounds racist. I’m not comfortable with that.
Excuse me? How is it even legal for paypal to do that? They are basically fining their customers? Are they going to send debt collectors after them if their paypal balance is negative? This is absolutely insane.

Why would anybody want to do business with Paypal now?
Why will there be excess gasoline? They will reduce production.
Most browsers render nearly everything with the GPU. Chrome and Firefox render most of the browser via Skia and Skia can render with many different native GPU APIs or fallback to software rendering. Safari renders via Core Graphics which is also GPU based.
>You may not use the PayPal service for activities that

It absolutely does apply to off-platform messages. If, for example, you have a website or other service that takes payments via paypal, it applies to anything said there.

Years ago your users would be educated professionals in different large organizations or the government. Today, anyone can be your user. Creating easily usable software for the general public and daily use is more difficult than creating software that will be used for educated professionals.

It’s intuitive to any user who has used a web form anytime for the last 2 decades.

Breaking default browser behavior because you find it unintuitive is generally a bad idea.

Now if you’re dealing with something that isn’t really a web form—as in you’re overloading input fields for some interactive non form like behavior—then I can see it.

In my case, if the person had some well thought out reason for doing it, I might let it slide. But the vast majority of times I’ve seen it, it’s because the person doesn’t even know how to use forms. Not understanding the underlying technology at at least a very basic level is a strike against you in my book.
Yeah, they sold books, I didn't say they didn't. The couple paragraphs above the one you link talk about Bezos wanting to participate in the internet business boom and then the ones you link talk about commerce.

I mean, they quote Ian Carnelli in the article, saying that he expects a "much bigger deflection than (he) had planned". That said, the article also mentions that it will take Earth-bound telescopes/radars at least a week to get initial estimates in regard to the change of the asteroid's orbit, and then three to four weeks before getting precise measurements.

I think the real takeaway here is just that something unexpected happen. They're monitoring as they would have regardless, and results will come in time. Expecting results and/or a conclusion this early is, well, jumping the gun.
There’s not enough material right now to make EV batteries for everyone; that price is only going to go up unless a new battery recipe is made commercially viable (including the necessary mass production facilities), or new deposits are made available at similar prices.
I think there is a difference between people not caring anymore and it actually being over.

I see a lot of the same things, but at the same time, everyone I know who has gone on vacation anywhere has come home with COVID. My mom has COVID right now and she doesn't even do anything.

There is the argument that it's just a like a cold/flu now, but I know more people getting COVID than any other illness. There are also still a pretty significant number of deaths, which will likely have it it the top 5 causes of death for 2022.

It's not as bad as it was at it's peak, but it doesn't feel over. We've thought it was over several times so far, and each time people started to relax, a new variant came out and cases spiked. In theory, future variants should be less life threatening than the early ones, but only time will tell.
Paypal limited my account for no reason. They claimed I bought a gun but I own no guns. False positive in their AI routine.

> How is it even legal for paypal to do that?

It is part of the user agreement you're required to sign in exchange for being allowed to use their service. It might not be lawful, but you'd have to sue them to find out.

> Are they going to send debt collectors after them if their paypal balance is negative?

Probably not, but they'd be within their rights to do so.

> Why would anybody want to do business with Paypal now?

Many people think that their activities will never, under any circumstances, be considered obscene or otherwise objectionable by PayPal. Other people, such as myself, will continue to use it, but will take precautionary measures in order to reduce my exposure to this change.
Charge at home. If you can't now, eventually all the landlords will be racing to install charging because demand for it will rise.

Thank you so much for posting! I have an old Byte magazine issue with an article about the PC RT and I’d been searching for more information about it! You just made my day m8!
IMO the biggest challenge is the rapid recharge (< 5 minutes).

You just think of a college football Saturday where 100k people drive in, tailgate all day and then either stay in a hotel or head back the same day. Often coming from 3-4 hours away.

It’s simply not realistic for all those vehicles to need to do 45 minutes of charging.

When that gets solved, you’ll see rapid adoption.
The article used a picture of Pepe the frog as Captain America and says things like:

"...but Gab.ai is attracting conservatives as an alternate social platform."

"At the moment, Gab feels like a conservative chatroom..."

"It also appears that Milo Yiannopoulos, a conservative writer who was permanently suspended from Twitter in July after his attack on actress Leslie Jones, has joined Gab."

"... Gab’s early, ideologically-narrow success plays into a larger trend in social media..."
Major versions of Linux used to be awaited with bated breath. For many years I ran a "Linux kernel major release pool", which probably nobody here remembers, but it was fairly popular.

I have to conclude that this is more than just a profit consideration.

Maybe? But in general they're pretty morally agnostic - they don't go shun other "controversial" businesses. Except the cannibus business here in the US, but that's because it's technically still illegal at the federal level.
