The problem is the social graph. You need to know the ID of all your contacts at some point, right? Either that's stored on the server (e.g. your Facebook friends), but then the server has access to it, or it's stored locally in your app, but if you lose your phone then you lose your graph. Signal has been working on a way to store your graph securely on their servers, but it's hard, and not there yet.

The great point about your contact list is that it is decentralised, and it exists already (so you don't have to exchange an ID with all your friends manually).
If we’re thinking about sources:

Teacher primary source on policy

Student secondary source on citation policy

This blog post is third in line

It could be that the teacher is explaining to students, don’t copy and paste from Wikipedia, go to the source, and use Google Scholar to find your sources. If they’re using Scholar, are they still Googling? Maybe to a child.
How is a (effectively) tax rebate going to cause inflation? Nothing was created out of thin air, they took in more money than they needed in taxes and so they are returning that to the population.
The only email provider I'm aware of that still doesn't require a phone number during sign up is protonmail. Maybe tutanota but IIRC they wouldn't let you sign up over a VPN.
Also see Lindsey Jordan of Snail mail. Midwest emo like Mike Kinsellaof American Football, Owen, & Cap'n Jazz, et. al, and Evan Thomas Weiss of Into it Over it are also fantastic examples of clever tunings. My personal favorite is Chad Matheny of Emperor X - such a unique artist
There is extra latency in this setup but some of it can be mitigated by using a cron job to pre-lookup / pre-cache the most common DNS names that your setup requests. Unbound can also be told to set a min-ttl on all records at the risk of answer becoming stale but I find that to rarely be an issue.

There are a handful of less expensive VM providers. Ramnode is one of them. I hear they have been improving in the last few years but I no longer have any VM's so I can't say for sure.
... And at the same time, the English-language mathematics section is a fairly reliable and—in some cases—very broad reference, covering a range of viewpoints that would usually require trawling through half a dozen books for different subjects and target audiences. (It is rarely a good introduction, but then a single reference for a skilled reader is doable while a single introduction for every taste, background, and motivating problem is nigh-impossible.)
I have 100Mb/s internet and I cannot notice it on Ethernet on my M1 MacBook Air or on Wi-Fi on my iPhone or iPad.

Not sure this qualifies as printing money, CA cannot issue currency, they will be spending from their budget which is tax payer funded no?
Is giving back money going to increase inflation? not sure how much of an impact a $1k payment will have on overall inflation. I would guess a lot less than the existing outside factors including the war in Ukraine and the impact of covid disruption and relief.
My Tongue Cancer Story

Very wise. No matter who it is, everything in politics is about image and voter influence. Im grateful for the help when it is offered to me, but I don't ignore the real purpose behind it all either.
I haven't been to Norway, but I've been to Sweden which seems like it should be similar. All houses there have central heating.

Maybe you are thinking about district heating? There are a few places in the world where the heat for an entire town comes from the same plant and is piped around. This is also called central heating which makes it confusing, thought district heating is the more correct term from what I can tell. I'm talking about a single heating system that handles the whole house, not a system that handles the whole town.
Gladwell biased his measurement to experts in their field, did he not? 20 hours can be enough in many things to get started, 150 hours decent enough to begin to command income from those efforts, and if it is pleasurable to you and provides value to others, the road goes up from there in a positive feedback loop.

That has been my experience. Consider giving it a go!

Edit: I wish to add the paraphrased concept: Don't let perfectionism be the enemy of done/accomplished... Another lesson I am working on :)

Similarly to police unions, teacher unions prevent many of those checks. Public servants do not serve society by having unions.
What exactly do you mean by "ignoring the counter-evidence"? I don't think I am (if I did in the literal sense, I would be thinking that it was a lab leak with 100% certainty, not the 60% or so that I actually have!), and if anything, the actions of the US ruling class at the height of the COVID years were closer to something you could describe as that, as they were the ones who sought to banish discussion of the possibility of a lab leak from the public sphere and prevent further investigation after a small-scale one performed by people who were (in my eyes, quite convincingly) argued to have conflicts of interest.

As I said, I'm by no means certain that COVID originates from a lab leak, and I would actually like to get greater certainty as to whether it did. COVID was very costly to society at large (and to me personally), so we should be willing to expend a lot of resources on minimising the likelihood of something like it happening again as well, which includes determining what the best way of spending resources is as well. If it was due to a lab leak, the optimal way of spending resources looks very different from if it was due to a natural animal-human transmission; among others we may want to significantly tighten safety protocols and enforcement in infectious disease research and review if it may be optimal to suspend certain classes of research entirely (i.e. pay in foregone discoveries). If it was animal-human transmission, we may instead be interested in limiting interactions between humans and wild animals, which also has a high (cultural, organisational, enforcement) cost. If you frame this to be about the "thrills of the game", what can't be framed as that?
This.

You have to trust something at some point. What you trust just depends on your threat model.
MIMD Interpretation on a GPU [pdf]
A lot of words to say something that essentially boils down to, "Make sure your findings replicate."
I gave it something I thought would be a "tougher" one than a massage parlor: a flying car dealership, and it handled it great outside of obviously not having access to a real flying car picture. The "about us" generated more of a testamonial, but it was coherent and on topic.
"Sorry son, you're going to have to quit hockey because dad is having a midlife crisis and is going to switch careers"

Is the problem here the external factor of my son's desires? Or is it a problem with myself, putting his desires above my own?
In my experience, being blunt without the sugar coat can have a massive change on people as well. Having a mortgage and kids can be seen as a reason or excuse not to embark on change/risk but it could also be seen as a great reason to do so. We decide how we want to look at it. The old saying "actions speak louder than words" will outlive any self-help new age fad. No one cares what was said or what was thought, but what was done.

"I judge myself by my intentions but I judge you by your actions".
> "scholars" citing Wikipedia could very well create a circular reference supporting some falsehood on a Wikipedia article.

Using Wikipedia and citing Wikipedia is perhaps ill advised.

Using Wikipedia and not citing Wikipedia is a real problem and how you create the circle of falsehoods.

This idea of not using Wikipedia introduces students to the academic dishonesty game. Priority one in writing a research paper is that it be a truthful reflection of your research, including limitations, accidents, mistakes, failures, etc, etc.

I'm working on a framework in Ruby that's designed to be deployed on the edge. It's got a Virtual DOM on the server and it streams updates to the browser, so having low latency is very important. It doesn't matter if the database is far away, its fine if it takes time to load data as long as the UI is fast.

I'm running the example app on fly.io, and if each instance can have 30 concurrent sessions, that means I can have 90 concurrent sessions on their free plan. 30 more sessions for another $1.94... I haven't done any benchmarks yet, but it will be interesting to check the performance on different instance types.

Deploying apps like this will certainly reduce costs, because you can deploy your app to where your users are. If you have a lot of users during daytime and few users at night time, you only pay for the users you got during daytime. You could have more servers in regions with active users during daytime and less servers in regions where users are sleeping...

Sidenote from something I noticed from the rest of these comments: SMS is not the only form of 2FA. It is the most common type, but also one of the most insecure versions of it. You should not be using SMS for 2FA.
Even (high-end) consumer SSDs can saturate a PCIe gen 4 x4 link if you are doing sequential reads. Non-sequential hurts on even enterprise SSDs.

just a slight supply inflation (binance smart chain deflation is greater than this over any month time span), about $80 million was successfully moved to censorship resistant blockchains but as they ran out of liquidity they had to move into censorable stablecoins, which were frozen for their addresses

all validators on binance smart chain disabled all block production and have subsequently updated to freeze the minting function and also disable the hacker's address
Seems like a bad situation. But follow the timetable:

1) Austin buys the property

2) Begins renovations on vacant premises

3) Vandalism takes place

---------------

4) The conversion is complete

5) Property officially offered to homeless residents

Steps 4 and 5 haven't happened yet. So homeless people who "generally just destroy the living space" isn't a good fit for what's going on. This is simply a situation of an unsecured construction site that has attracted squatters and vandals.
I love that you did this DIY. I just had a guitar built by a guy who also winds pickups per your specs - I loved that I could have him dial in the tone exactly how I wanted.
The killer we've seen is data egress costs. Crunching the numbers for some of our pipelines, we'd actually be paying more to get the data out of AWS than to compute it.
I'm going to be frank, as a long time federated node admin. In the last few years I've seen so many admins act just like Ash. They have a huge heart and a lot of passion for federation. So they open their doors to thousands of users.

And I keep thinking that it's just not sustainable. I've worked in ops for over 20 years, I feel like that background has given me a healthy scepticism and a respect for Murphy's law.

So when I launched my Mastodon instance 4 years ago I decided from day 1 that it should be focused on my country, my language, and require new users to request access.

Just like the old BBS scene, you have to write a short motivation on why you want an account. This motivation is 100% for vetting out robots. Because let me tell you, I get on average 2 robots a week trying to sign up. Why? I have no idea. But my strategy has brought the number of spam robots on my instance down to 0.

I could never imagine being one of those admins who just left their doors wide open. Because I've been online since the 90s, I know how we used to exploit web services back in the day. I was part of that whole 4chan scene, doing online hooliganism.

If you're opening your doors to anyone, and hosting their content online on your domain, there is a whole slew of problems coming your way. And the "main" instance mastodon.social got to feel that when an AV vendor blacklisted them. Someone had been using their public profile to host C&C. Of course, why wouldn't they?

So now I see a very sad thing, my fellow admins are begging for rent and food money on Mastodon. Because they're spending so much money keeping their instance running. And God only knows how many robot accounts are taking up those resources.

I've said this so many times, but I'll keep saying it; keep the instances small and put focus on federation rather than fast growth. We want many, small, well connected instances rather than a few huge monoliths that need corporate money to keep going.

I don't care what all the naysayers in this thread are whining about, ActivityPub is amazing. Until someone launches a completely decentralized network that WORKS, AP is the one for me. Scuttlebutt looks interesting though.

I'll never get over the magic of looking at my public timeline and seeing posts cascade in from all over the world. A dozen different software platforms, some homemade, some unpublished, some open source projects, they're all talking. Thousands of forums from dozens of countries are all communicating with MY little instance. It's magic.

I spent my twenties doing nothing but working. I put no time into learning basic self care skills like cooking, cleaning, or exercise. Weekends were wasted mostly lying in bed exhausted. I never dated.

In retrospect I was obviously depressed, but I took me nearly 10 years to understand why. My relationships with my parents and peers earlier in life had been so fraught that I became convinced I could never have a healthy relationship with someone. I had so little exposure to people whose relationships were healthy that the possibility hardly occurred to me. It’s difficult to describe what believing this for an extended period can do to a person.

I ultimately realized my mistake and set myself towards bringing more people into my life. However, in trying to correct this I made another mistake. I started taking finasteride in an effort to maintain my appearance, as I believed early baldness would negatively affect people’s initial impressions of me (particularly in romantic contexts). As it turns out, I’m one of the unfortunate few who have severe adverse reactions to this drug. Now, in addition to being socially and romantically inexperienced and out of shape, I’m also constantly fatigued, sexually impotent, and ironically still balding.

I again find it very difficult to imagine anyone, particularly a woman, would want anything to do with me. I see others my own age with families of their own now, while I have done nothing. It’s hard to manage the despair.
Assuming some value is delivered every month, should the party in office stop delivering value during election season?

Otherwise, there will, certainly, be some value delivered, that can be accused of being political, as it coincides with elections.

Seems better to have a steady delivery, than having to stop the government for election season.
Some of the other parties to the conversations saved them. Then the court was like “wait a sec Elon, Mr. Whomever has this Signal conversation with you, where’s your copy of this conversation?”
My attempt:

Old people are frail. The world appears frail to them. And as you age, the flaws of the world become more apparent, and the world appears even more like it is hanging on an edge.

Of course most people also have rosy glasses about their good old days, where people followed the law and things just worked.

So old people think adhering to rules and avoiding chaos is what kept everything from falling apart.

Also, as you get older, your routine becomes everything, as your neuroplasticity decreases and ability to deal with change. Rules keep things the same.

EDIT:

Also, one of my favorite explanations of popular vs nerd people in high school: popular kids spend all their free time being popular. Nerds work on school and other things.

In that vein, old people don't really have anything to do other than be nosy. They sleep less, are retired, and living off social security means "hanging around where you're at and not doing much".

They are perversely like teenagers.
You can run z/OS on the Hercules emulator. It is a violation of the license, however I doubt that will bother a hobbyist much.

Here's someone's blog explaining how: https://famicoman.com/2018/06/28/emulating-a-z-os-mainframe-...
Lol. Brutal.
Something that is overwhelmingly most likely in a general case may not be overwhelmingly most likely in a specific one given additional information. The vast majority of people do not die of violent causes, and yet we still have murder investigations. Relative probability is not preserved by conditioning: in an investigation seeking to establish if someone was murdered, the general prevalence also does not backpropagate to affect appropriate levels of skepticism towards concrete possible mechanism of death. For example, if you had a mysterious case of arsenic poisoning where you had trouble in explaining how arsenic wound up in the dead person's body except by teleportation, it would be unsound to argue that it wasn't murder because teleportation is not known to exist, but the theory that it teleported into the victim naturally should be above scrutiny since natural deaths are extremely common.
What do you mean by full text search over their contents? I just found a full published article? Do you mean that there's a competing article on libgen? If so, that's fairly normal with science, it changes year to year or month to month, those articles can both be valid in some sense because they are time dependent.
Short answer: No (for levels.fyi)

Is it typical for you to receive payments via Wire rather than credit card? If not perhaps the customers are fraudulent. Also I'm not entirely sure how SEPA works but could you just accept wires via your bank directly? For wires we've found it's easier to just have it sent directly to our bank account.
Despite all the modern alternatives, I'd bet my life that a majority (>50%) of the web is still being served by httpd.
> Redhat decides to turn Ceph into yet another garbage storage product

Is Ceph still a viable alternative in hardware and operational cost and reliability to HDFS to store hundreds of PBs of data, if not EBs? I kept hearing people recommend Ceph over HDFS, but was unable to find examples of large deployment of Ceph for HDFS-like workload.
The biggest problem is students don't care. It's why encyclopedias had to be "banned" from reports when I was a student; the teacher wanted us to actually do some modicum of research beyond rewriting an encyclopedia article.

Both were still a decent place to start, but they're both often only "right" from a certain point of view.
I used to do a similar thing many years ago. Since my then DSLR was atrocious above ISO 1600, and barely usable at 800, I had to learn to be patient.

But the results of minutes-long exposures in the dark were absolutely crazy. Colors were very deep, and there was an incredible nuance in the tones of even the darkest corners.

Highly recommended to anyone not used with taking pictures in such conditions. This could even be tried in one's home at night. All the random LEDs shining around in the dark actually create an eerie atmosphere if you look long enough.
> And it works just fine for them.

Until it doesn't because there's a fire or huge power surge or whatever.

That's the point -- there's a lot of risk they're not taking into account, and by focusing on the "it works just fine for them", you're cherry picking the ones that didn't suffer disaster.
That Liu Kang kick where he used both feet and sounded like a chicken was damn near impossible to defeat when your opponent was spamming it. Every now and then I could block and upper cut but mostly I would upper cut and start getting kicked again.
> Currently, people who cannot use or rely on 2FA are getting locked out of their accounts even if they weren't hacked and knew their password! Isn't that worse?

Not if it's happening to fewer people than the alternative.
Messaging was a solved problem until we wanted to make it secure and private.
nothing's stopping your local city council, library, or fire department from shoe-horning the ActivityPub protocol into their existing website (like WordPress or Drupal or whatever CMS they use) and immediately turning their site into their own Twitter service.

I'd like to see RSS come back in a big way, but replace RSS with ActivityPub and instead of nationalizing shitty centralized commercial services, adopt the protocols that allow for distributed and federated social activities.
Huh, I thought the static in the hair thing was a solved deal. It’s one of the first examples given when explains static electricity! At no point did someone mention “but we don’t know how it works.” Thus I imagine, no one tries to figure it out.
Yes, and in school (wikipedia didn't exist until after I graduated) I still was not allowed to reference an encyclopedia. We had them in the library and they were considered at best a good introduction before you find real source material.
Originally it was permitted, but too many people abused this and wasted a lot of volunteer time. :-(

Now you need to get cited by someone else before wikipedia will accept it. (and preferably someone else needs to be cited too of course)
> Currently, people who cannot use or rely on 2FA are getting locked out of their accounts even if they weren't hacked and knew their password! Isn't that worse?

I don't think so. You seem to presume the end state of both is that the user is locked out, which is only half true.

With a lost 2FA device, the user and everyone else is locked out of the account.

With a compromised account, the user may be locked out but the hacker is not. The hacker is free to impersonate the user to social services, hospitals, potential employers, etc. If there's no mechanism for the user to regain control of the account, the hacker will have that access until the user can contact all of those people and give them a new email address. That could take a while, especially if we're considering that the user has a high chance of not having a phone at the moment.
Yes and books are moving targets as well, we have figured out ways to deal with that, cite the edition. Similar should most definitely cite the access date when you cite wikipedia.
It's all part of the scam. What are we gonna do about it? Legitimately asking.. Have a 7yo and I'm afraid for their future.
Same here. I do sometimes click a link, and it crashes or restarts. But then my full history is there, and new messages come in. Only have to relink when I buy a new phone.
