I think you are greatly over-estimating how often students are seeking help asynchronously. If the professor was actually flooded with texts and emails from engaged students who just have different communication expectations, I think that would have been mentioned in the article especially in the list of possible ways to improve. It seems more likely that the students are not attempting to engage at all.
My understanding is that Aristotelian logic could only operate with statements of the form:

- All x are y
- Some x are y
- Not all x are y
- No x are y

You could only substitute names for x and y, and there was no recursion. As a result, you couldn't express gometric and number-theoretic statements in this language.

The method of argumentation was syllogism, which is not much more sophisticated than:

All men are mortal. All philosophers are men. So all philosophers are mortal.

This is limited compared to Natural Deduction. I thought it was Stoic logic that was a lot closer to modern propositional logic. There appear to be traces of predicate logic in the Aristotelian system - making it original in a different way from the Stoic system - but only slight ones because of the absence of recursion.

I should say I haven't read the article. Busy.
No...

This is a story to a company overreacting and taking away freedoms because someone gave people too much freedom and the company didn't like that.

After reading the article, I still don't understand the exception Apple purportedly gets from its tracking rules. As I understand it, Amazon is allowed to use activity in the Kindle app to show personalized ads in the Amazon Shopping app without using the ATT prompt. Isn't that the same thing as Apple using News app activity to personalize ads in the App Store?

The part that is unfair is that no one but Apple gets to have an App Store or process IAPs, which has always been the problem with iOS. Trying to make it about ATT just seems like a red herring.

Nope.

The alternative to to not provoke a conflict when you are not ready.

ie invest in alternatives - so you aren't on the hook down the line, but don't provoke a conflict when you are on the hook.

Russia has the economy about the size of Italy - and as you can see by the progress in Ukraine, it's not going to be able to sweep across Europe anytime soon.

There is no existential threat - apart from the one we have just created by timing the conflict when we are not ready.

Not sure why System76 is going this route... Everyone is clamouring for a high quality Linux laptop and instead they're using subpar Clevo laptops and creating a new distro (with a bad case of NIH) that no one asked for...

The hardware they did make seems nice (desktop case and keyboard), dunno why they aren't parleying that into making their own laptops. Like, why buy their current laptops over a ThinkPad (which you know will be supported by Fedora since that's still what's popular at IBM) or an HP/Dell developer laptop, or any of the other "known to work" laptops?
This is a wildly editorialized title.

Not even mentioning Brexit, possibly the single biggest change in the fundamental economic underpinnings of the UK in the last 50 years, feels deliberately misleading to me.

Living in Britain right now, I can tell you nobody I've met believes in capitulating to Russian demands - any dissatisfaction is purely on the reaction to that, and mismanagement of the response.

And a completely tone-deaf political stance - the proposed budget just said the quiet parts loud of the general Tory stance and highlighted just how "different" they are to the average man on the street.
shh, your not meant to say these things out loud.

"U.K.’s High Gas Prices to Hurt Consumers All Year, Industry Group Says
Rachel Morison
20 January 2022 at 17:43 UTC"
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-20/u-k-s-hig...

Gas prices now are around the same levels seen in Q3 2021. Russian invasion of the Ukraine took place on 24 February 2022
FWIW, Valve is probably also selling the Steam Deck at a loss. $400 for an Xbox One-tier AMD chipset in a nice-feeling controller case? Something tells me they're not banking on hardware margins to sell this console any more than Nintendo did with the Switch. Valve's real boon (IMO) is that they're teaching the rest of the industry how they should operate - first-party app stores can charge whatever fees they want for convenience, as long as third-parties have the same degree of control over the hardware. And guess what: it worked! The fact that Valve is talking about Steam Deck successors means they're not losing too much money, and I think it makes sense financially. If Valve takes 10-30% of every game bought on Steam, the amount they're making from Deck users must be monumental. I'd bet anyone 10:1 that there's a dashboard internally at Valve tracking how much money they've made from purchases directly on Deck hardware.
Then why do they have all those incredibly questionable things in their privacy policy? What makes them "trustworthy"? I've never heard of them, but from reading this blog post it seems like yet another evil company trying to suck up PII from unsuspecting victims and sell it.
In Windows NT, you'd need a kernel mode program to do this. Then your device gets exposed as a special kind of file.
> Modern RocksDB also has an option to do key-value separation via Integrated BlobDB.

Neat! I had only seen tikv's plugin [0] implementing this before. But they've got their own first-party option [1] now too.

The gist being, as I understand it, that WiscKey [2] showed how you can improve both read and write performance if you store values outside of the main LSM tree. (Only store keys in the LSM tree with a pointer to the value.) See also [3].

Comparison between Titan and BlobDB [4] aren't awesome yet though. :)

I have a pretty well structured life because I enjoy it that way. Does it make me more productive than people with a less structured life? Maybe a little bit, but I doubt it makes a big difference. A rigid structure always means fragmentation, waste and unnecessary overhead.
I don't think the Navy calls their SEAD Wild Weasel. Their SEAD missions are similar to the Air Force's Wild Weasel missions but without the naming. They're both SEAD and use similar tactics and weapons.

But the movie's mission not including any SEAD was 100% suspenders of disbelief. The whole mission seemed to be planned by people that were the pilots' life insurance beneficiaries.

I'm not a medical researcher, but I think you're misinterpreting these results.

The efficacy does not "turn negative". It's negative for some time interval lagged after vaccination. This is expected, because some of the unvaccinated control will have been infected before that time interval. If you look at test and control 200 days after infection, the number of vaccinated individuals who were infected at any time is much smaller than unvaccinated. Do I have this right?

Here's an informative google search:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22finite+element+codes%22

I don't know about a recent uptick in "codes", but I know it is incorrect to attribute using "codes" to non-native English. As I noted in another comment, software for numeric and scientific computing is very commonly referred to as "codes". Finite element simulations are a good example of something where the code has been written and refined over many decades, and so the result is a treasured collection of discrete objects that are passed down. You can see that in how "codes" is used in the search results above.
How so? They claim they enter into contract with the people they deepfake
With webtorrent that is feasible, but requiring a client download would just ensure you weren't the largest anymore and probably infect your users with spyware when they downloaded a bad client.
Hey, dev here :)

Totally agree with you. WebAssembly has a lot of potential, but currently the entry barries is quite high and for some use cases, it's not mature enough. As you mention, tooling is unclear, and the ecosystem misses important features such as debugging capabilities.

However, at the same it's an exciting ecosystem for the same reason: there's a lot to explore and improve. Hopefully, these projects we are building gathers the interest from different communities and more people start adding ideas.

And for future ideas, what would you like to be covered in an article about WebAssembly? Thanks!
>they've only stopped them from doing overly-intrusive cross-app personal tracking.

It's important to remember, they aren't stopping them from doing the overly-intrusive cross-app tracking, they just make you actively consent to an app allowing that tracking.
privacy.com is one of my favorite companies.

They have saved me from fraud 2x in 3 years. Then I simply closed that "card" with the click of a button. No need to call my bank, cancel my debit card that I use at ATMs, and wait a week for a new card

I don't have to worry about remembering to cancel free subscriptions. I set the card max at $1. This has saved me multiple times from the free trial scams that you need to opt out of. Free trials should be opt in after the trial. Opt out is a scam to trickle money into a company from non customers.

They stopped a contractor from charging me over $2k when I specifically told them they needed to tell me how much before charging me. Of course they didnt tell me and tried to run the charge. Privacy put a stop to their BS.

It is mostly automatic or easy to set up once you are using Privacy. Some banks have started to offer similar digital card numbers similar to Privacy.
>> What is your point? That legal systems are useful? I didn't say they weren't... Simply that Bitcoin doesn't require one for its scarcity and transaction mechanism.

I disagree. Bitcoin DOES need real world legal systems built around transactions to be useful in the real world:

People have out-of-band trust relationships in real life which reduce the likelihood of malice. Bitcoin-style anonymous identities undermine trust relationships and are not needed for legitimate (not illegal) transactions.

Real life legal systems encourage good behaviors. If you have a dispute with someone, you can sue them. Bitcoin lacks these protections. If someone steals your Bitcoins, how do you get it back? How do you dispute fraudulent Bitcoin transactions?
No, you're not wrong. If Apple follows through with this it's pretty much the textbook definition of an antitrust violation: leveraging their market power in one market to circumvent competition in the target market.
Yes, agree very much. The energy war was a consequence that in a market economy it is almost impossible to choose options which aren't price optimal (cheap).

Germany gets a lot of flak for buying Russian gas cheaply the last 30 years in ever increasing volumes. But it seems strange to argue that Germany just should have bought gas from Qatar or the US for double the price from the start.

How should Germany have done that? Import tax on Russian gas? Laws preventing importing cheap gas from the east? Sounds a bit aggressive towards our big neighbor to the east.

No, I think the article is just plain wrong. Europe benefitted from cheap gas over the last decades and it will be somewhat affected by higher prices for this and next year, but it will accelerate the transition to renewables and strengthen nuclear in those countries in Europe where it is still an option. In the end it push Europe in the right direction.
Living in NYC I pay $225 a month for my gym that has non-crowded swimlanes + sauna, but ultimately I'd rather live in a shitbox apartment that costs 200/mo less and have the gym membership than live in a nicer place, cause swimming and sauna brings me enough physical and mental health benefits to be worth it. People talk about how good lifting is for mental health but I get way more from swim + sauna.
It obviously makes sense to consider the price tag when it's some mundane thing like a nice dinner or a pair of shoes or some other random discretionary widget. But if the bill of goods is "you won't get ARDS or kill grandma", who is thinking "hmm, I might get that but $100 is a little steep"?

> _I pay the same amount_ regardless of whether I get the flu shot or not. Therefore getting it is _free._

Unless that amount is 0 (which it can't be, right? The drug companies aren't doing this as charity) how does "I pay the same amount" translate to "getting it is free"?

Whether you pay at the front desk or you pay later in the form of a tax bill or insurance premium, you're still paying. In fact, you're probably paying for more than your own doses if you're earning more than the median (not that I think that's a bad thing).
It isn't sarcasm. They are saying recession is bad but giving in to Russia is worse.
> Right now I preface languages with terms like "familiar", "comfortable", "confident" to indicate the amount I've used a particular language.

I would advise against this, it really doesn't help especially for your worse languages. Put down a couple of languages that you've studied and you've done something significant with (even a small project) which you'll also be happy to work with professionally.
> What will go down as one of the worst blunders in history is allowing Europe to become so dependent on a single hostile country for energy.

Correctomundo, thank you so much for this. It was making my skin crawl to see this called an "economic blunder".

Your take is 100% correct.

In fact I would go farther and suggest that decision makers should be investigated at the highest level. Lots of German ones have interest in Russian oil companies. If "compromising European security to further your own interests" isn't a crime yet we need to make it so. One as serious as espionage or treason.

There are 2 types of nukes: the small (tactical) and the big (deterrence).

A few tactical nukes will wipe clean a front line. If putin's regime army on a front line does vanish in matter of few hours, expect the worst.

Deterrence nukes are those which will wipe clean all major Ukraine cities.

As far as I understood putin's regime goals, true or not:

- the since-2014 conflict in east-ukraine is "over".

- the so-called neo-nazi azov bataillon was wiped (now they should deal with their own neo-nazi wagner pmc...)

- the drug addicts???

- Some of the newly discovered fossil gas reserverd in ukrainian sea and land are under putin's regime control.

- other true or false goals.
What's the proof it was sabotage though?
This should be the top-rated comment.
> in a country with a strong and poorly addressed history of racism

Is there a diverse country that doesn't have a strong history of racism?

Is US worse than India, with it's caste system?

Is US worse than China, with it's Uyghur genocide?

Is US worse than Russia with it's Slavs-only rental ads?

Mind you, those are not the examples of past discriminations.

Is it possible that the reason you know more about discrimination in the US is not because US had more of it, but because you are better educated about US?
Where are these ads being delivered? Just the App Store, or are they expanding into somewhere else?
I'll take that over aligning with the politburo.
This isn't the revelation you act like it is. Because of course Google hides results. They don't pretend not to, and they even inform webmasters when it happens. The Search Console calls it a "Manual action" when they do so.

More importantly, the people asking for a "censorship-free search engine" are expressing an incoherent desire. The whole point of a search engine is to take the zillions of web pages that have matching keywords, push the crap to the bottom, and leave the gold on top. A system that does this is inherently censorious. We're just quibbling over what the criteria should be.

What our world lacks is a reasonably-quick way to hold Google accountable when they fail to represent the interests of the public who searches with them. The real-world consenquences of their filtering decisions need to filter back to the people making these decisions. Because "just don't make any filtering decisions" isn't going to result in a usable information retrieval system.
