Not sure, but could be true if you look at the antics of Faeser and her bizarre ideas of general surveillance, backdoors and the like.

Maybe it would be good if he does not get replaced by someone, who could do more harm by talking less bs and actually doing something bad.

At least all that talk about cyber cyber nonsense does not do much apart from wasting tax money and creating mountains of paper.

Imho it is a really bad idea that the BSI is subordinate to the ministry of interior which also is in control of police and the Verfassungschutz.

Both institutions which are somewhat influential and usually pro surveillance everything, regardless the cost, technical feasibility and compliance with civil rights.

If you look at the debates around Stasi 2.0, Zensursula and Vorratsdatenspeicherung it is easy to see that those really need someone to keep them in check.
That's just a ground heat pump no? I have the same on my house. It's pretty great. I get cooling in summer and heat in the winter.
I stopped drinking entirely for about 4 years due to stomach pain caused by acid. Pain is a fantastic motivator for stopping doing something - physical pain is of course the most obvious. It eventually cleared up and I've started to enjoy the occasional drink.

I didn't notice a single benefit to not drinking, but I only have one and done. An arguable upside is it stops me snacking. I imagine the problem isn't alcohol as such, but going over the top. Someone at work says it's impossible for them to just have "one drink" because it leads to more, and if that's the case, I imagine going teetotal will yield bigger benefits.
I didn't see it mentioned in the article, but what is the perf cost to this change? Will there be more GC due to new variables every loop iteration?
Sure you can do exercise whilst doing something else. I get about an hour's exercise in daily whilst moving to places I need to be.

The idea that exercise needs to be an activity in its own right is somewhat toxic. It puts a big burden on beginning the activity which needs to displace something else. Even for those that manage to get an hour at the gym or whatever, it doesn't necessarily make up for the rest of a sedentary lifestyle.

They appear to be using a somewhat costly handheld thermal camera, which likely has a FLIR Boson or equivalent sensor. Those are pretty bulky and expensive, making it hard to use this attack without hanging out near the keyboard/keypad you want to surveil.

A FLIR Lepton series[0], or similar, is much smaller, but still ~$160/ea., and even though it is "smaller", it's not as easy to hide in an ATM as a cheap pinhole camera. It is also much lower resolution and has lower thermal sensitivity. Which would most likely greatly reduce the places where you could deploy this equip in a leave-behind covert setup.

It looks like a neat proof of concept, but probably not a day to day risk the average person needs to be concerned about.

Do people with an iPhone and an iPad have a use for a PC? I don't think so.
I wish they had some details on routes, cost, time and etc where they plan to use them.

This reads like a press release and it's not clear they know exactly what they're going to do with these things.
And before the pandemic PC sales have been declining/stagnating for a while. Nothing surprising here except that WSJ is also getting into the clickbait-headline-useless-article territory.

Yes, with a serious ticket price also. For most destinations inside the country, flights are cheaper (and faster, obviously).
This is just a market site yeah? nothing that I can sample?
I would say that this is the easiest part of layout to understand; it is a gross physical requirement that anyone who has cut a piece of paper with scissors can reason about, rather than an electrical or signal processing problem.
> Airlander generates up to 40% of its lift from aerodynamics by the passage of air over the hull

At a max speed of 130kph that does surprise me - they don’t look very aerodynamic.

Hosted in Europe, but on AWS which is a US company bound by the patriot act.

There are tons of decent european-based cloud providers,… like upcloud, Scaleway, exoscale or OVH to name the ones at the top of my head.

I would love to know what motivated this choice outside of "nobody got fired buying IBM/AWS" or résumé-driven development.
One might say you wouldn't be surprised. Security practices at start ups have never been good (no regulation, focus on sales) but to see this lack of security awareness in a company protecting PII is shocking. But what do VCs know ...

As always when something like this happens, here are some good open source alternatives with appropriate security policies and bug bounties in place:

I am not suggesting we use EV batteries for grid storage, just ~double the number of batteries created with half going to EV’s and half going to the grid.

Of course different constraints means different chemistry and form factors etc, but that’s only going to make grid batteries cheaper.
Yes you do (by default), same as any other worker. At least that's what it said on my tax forms and pay stubs.
In your defense, at the time you probably thought the vaccines were super effective at preventing transmission though. Now that we know they're not, most of the private sectors companies have quietly dropped the mandates, although you still have the health related ones that do a certain percentage of Medicaid/Medicare work that require it.
Based on some extremely back of napkin math (e.g. doing one of those activities where you cycle to power a light bulb) that seems pretty far off. Was the flow rate extremely low? Have a link?

As someone with a mostly daily workout habit for the past 10+ years, the trick I’ve found works best is not to exercise, but do a sport (that you enjoy). Then everything else falls into place on its own.

I used to lift. That got boring fast. Then I got into boxing. That hasn’t gotten boring ever. Eventually I started running, you know, to have more stamina in the boxing. That has lead to several marathons and a motivation to beat the magic 3-hour barrier. Now I’m back to lifting because it helps with the running and the boxing.

Running has actually turned into my me time. A socially acceptable way to be alone, outside, ignore the world, and have no responsibilities. Great time to chug through podcasts and audiobooks too.
Given the goal is lifespan extension, the implication seems to be the person is trying to do this for an entire lifetime. You can't eat at a calorie deficit in the long term without starving at some point, so that means 1500 KCal at some point has to be equal to your TDEE. There is no way to get that low permanently while having any meaningful amount of muscle.

The comment below claiming TDEE of 1900 for a 190 lb "active" male is interesting. I currently use the Macro Factor App to track meals and TDEE, make everything from scratch from raw ingredients, weigh and measure absolutely everything, including any cooking oil, so the estimates are good as you can get without checking into a metabolic ward, and I'm a 41 year-old male who currently weights 187 lbs and my TDEE is roughly 2900. That's at an activity level of lifting for 60-90 minutes 6 days a week, walking usually one to three hours a day at a pretty leisurely pace, usually while listening to a podcast or playing Pokemon Go, and I live in a four-story house so walk up and down stairs quite a bit.

The famous study on Amish body composition and activity levels had them at an average of 18000 steps and 9% body fat, and they were eating ungodly amounts of food, pounds of potato and grain, upwards of 4000 KCal a day in most cases. I suspect what a western white collar worker considers "active" is skewed a bit. I doubt there were many pre-industrial adults outside of nobility who got by on 1500 a day. Maybe some had no choice during a very harsh winter, but not as an everyday thing for years.
> a system favoring the wealthiest party

Evidence for this bias is scant. Instead, complaints centre around perceptions [1], which while valid, need to be balanced against the constraint to launching litigation in the hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs.

This is a terrible business plan; the homeless don't have any money. They should criminalize exorbitant wealth instead. The richest 30% control 97% of total wealth.[1] Poverty is a virtue, wealth itself is strong circumstantial evidence of exploitation, theft and civil rights violations. Start with the 3300 or so billionaires, and incarcerate them until their wealth falls below 30%, then, if ever necessary, move down the pyramid in 2% increments. I'd invest in this type of venture, at least a little while, and dump it before my personal wealth breached the criminal threshold. But I don't see how there is any money in criminalizing poverty. It would not be sustainable.

Yes this is one of the best answers. Exercise makes such a huge difference.
Do you have Joe Rogan's permission to use his like-ness?

Do you have Jobs'?
Maybe he should have tried reading some of Aristotle's books.

What’s the process here- generate a transcript with GPT-3, deepfake the voices?
The thing about functional purity is that the point of a lot of programming is to get the side effects.
I agree it's a fantastic PoC. Jobs' voice sounds very heavily derived from keynote speeches. People speak with different intonation and cadence in different situations and the uncanny valley effect here is due to having him speak casually on a podcast but in keynote voice. It'd be like training a Paul McCartney AI voice solely on Beatles songs - it wouldn't sound anything like McCartney's real life speech.
The difference is inflation creates jobs and taxes don’t. They have extremely different effects beyond “reduce purchasing power”
> There was a lot "follow the science" during the pandemic w/r/t vaccination and masks and, while in principle I appreciate the author's point, attempting to create a more facts-based public policy will necessitate trusting that some facts are true without demonstrating the validity of the stuff upon which they rest.

I'm curious how you came to believe that this is necessarily true.

> Paul Graham puts it well: To be a successful scientist it’s not enough just to be right. You have to be right when everyone else is wrong. Conventional-minded people can’t do that.

I suspect the definition of "conventional-minded" in this phrase is a tautology, since Paul does not have knowledge of all people's minds, despite how "clearly" it may seem to him that he does.

Well, I'm the author of both :-)

Honestly, my wife has insomnia and it is not only difficult to manage but it interacts with all the other issues: increases stress, makes eating healthy difficult (reduction of will power) and exercise is harder to recover from.
Why is "idiomatic C" equivalent to "long functions and few internal interfaces"?

The whole point of having a small surface-area for your ABI with plenty of detail hiding is that you are free to do what you like beneath it. If the code uses a struct named "hash_map" that takes a generic hash function and stores void pointers, but runs fast for my purposes, what do I care? These techniques give you a controlled way to build black boxes.

C is a very flexible language, and it is possible to build up quite a variety of patterns in it. Your job as an engineer is to look in your toolbox and select the best tool for the job. Adhering to a "correct idiom" gets in the way of this.
It's both and, instead either or. We don't all want to reduce stressors, but find ways to deal with it better.

Sometimes you push hard, and a good glass wine is exactly what you need.

Sometimes you push hard, and you had enough wine the week before.

Therapists are overrated, no scientific backing in learning how to deal with high stress situations.

I recommend everyone working out, but when you had a stressful day or week, a gym workout might just add more cortisol.

Provide him a piss-proof house. It can be small, but make the entire thing a bathroom/shower that can be hosed off.

And every month or so hose it off for him.

The percentage of people who would actually continue to do so is small, but would be provided for. Anyone else in a similar house could just use the toilet.
Oh I know. And it's only free software now because it was LGPL licensed to begin with.

Otherwise they would have closed it.
It's configurable: https://nilfs.sourceforge.io/en/man5/nilfs_cleanerd.conf.5.h.... Cleanerd is responsible for maintaining a certain amount of free space on the system, and you can control the rules for doing so (e.x. a checkpoint won't be eligible for being cleaned until it is 1 week old).

It's also worth knowing NILFS2 has checkpoints and snapshots. What you actually get are continuous "checkpoints". These can be upgraded to snapshots at any time with a simple command. Checkpoints are garbage collected, snapshots are not (until they are downgraded back into checkpoints).
Yeah but what VC is interested in funding /that/?
Technically, it makes sense for Python to work like this because your functions are being bound to a variable i which is located in the global scope.

I wouldn't call this a design mistake but more of a misunderstanding of how scope works.

You posted the comment I would have added. But let me ask, what do you have in your existential toolbox that helps you do this?

What have you experienced in your life which might make this easier for you than for others?
I remember that. I reported it to YouTube and never heard anything back. Days later it was still running.

I remember looking at the chain and seeing over 6 figures sent in to the address. It was also timed to line up with one of Musk's "big announcements", which helped it be plausible.

As you said, it was very convincing to a layman - but YouTube aren't laymen, and they must have had dozens if not hundreds of reports about that scam.

Thanks for reminding me of that.
ZIP with non-deflate compression is just silly. If you are not going to create defacto-standard compatible .zips then you might as well use a better archiving format.
Product idea: audio book but with the (synthetized) voice of their author. Does this exist?
I'm not assuming anything. I'm sharing my experiences, which are the only experiences I've had, and the basis for my knowledge and understanding of the world.

I will also share the experience that addicts in general are experts at self-deception. They'll have long lists of reasons why their addiction is uniquely impossible to break, and most will dismiss trying anything as a waste of time, not from reflection but as a reflex.

I feel like avoiding the use of LOOP could be a Master Foo koan.

An ambitious young student of Lisp came to Master Foo, seeking to deepen her knowledge and understanding.

One day, during their studies and practice, the students stopped and said, "Master, I am troubled. In Lisp we have minimal syntax, and we use S-expressions to convey structure, and this syntactic uniformity gives us great power to build our own composable syntax constructs. And yet we have LOOP in the standard, which is an ad-hoc imitation of the same arbitrary syntax of other languages that we use Lisp in order to avoid!"

The next day, the Master brought the student on a hike into the hills. As the sun was setting late in the afternoon, they reached a small cabin near the summit of a hill. A village of huts was visible in the valley below them. "Observe that this building is constructed from many small pieces of wood, each nearly uniform in size and shape. With those pieces I long ago built a hut that resembles the shoddy huts of the village, yet this one is both strong and easy to modify. You could even build it yourself from plans." The student observed and agreed, and was very impressed, but was also confused. "Master, what does this teach me about Lisp?" she asked. Master Foo continued, "You shall stay here on the mountain tonight. Return to me in the morning."

With that, the Master drew a key from his robe, firmly locked the door of the cabin, and hiked away. As he did so, a cold rain and steady wind began to blow. The student spent the night cold and damp on the ground beside the cabin, and awoke enlightened.
It's faze btw.
Cold turkey.

What is the amerimutt ethnic group?
Okay, I'm going to reply to yours as well before calling it for the night. I keep trying to, but people keep on replying and I hate seeming to be rude by ignoring people. Especially when they seem to mean well. (But seriously, this is the last time, lol... I need to sleep.)

I accept the premise of your argument, since it makes sense on the simple side of things. But... I think you forget to include the fact that people just go to a new supplier if they find their smokes getting more and more expensive.

Up here in Canada (Can't speak on the states) people just buy smokes from the reserves instead. And since government and agencies that collect this sort of data are likely getting their numbers from legal sales, but not illegal ones or grey market at the very least; that means they are missing numbers that tell a different story.

Menthol cigs for example are technically not allowed here anymore; but people still manage to get them. From gangs, reserves, random people who managed to smuggle them across the border, etc.

Now, I keep saying I'm going to go to sleep here, but it's starting to feel like a run on joke now.

Sure, government might not always tax things that are harmful; but it also depends on who's running that government. And my experience thus far has been that they will tax harm, if they can get away with it. (I wish I could italicize that last part.)

Now, good night. Maybe... I keep trying to listen to tunes first, and maybe that's the mistake.
Crime statistics split by demographic are commonly used as a dog whistle by racists. The people posting them typically aren't interested in discussing the reasons behind a particular demographic committing more crime beyond asserting that it's due to inherent traits.

That those statistics were posted as a dog whistle is backed up by the user's other posts.

I haven't had a drink in almost 5 years. I still consume cannabis and psychedelics.

I talk to a LOT of people about this. But I am not a professional.

Tip #1: You have to stop beating yourself up over it. It's brutal. I get it. At my lowest I woke up for months wanting to eat a bullet. If I had better tools and coping skills I wouldn't have as close as I did.

Tip #2: Know you want to quit. Know that you CAN quit. It doesn't have to be today. But there will be a day.

Tip #3: Acknowledge that it's difficult and that you're doing the best you can.

Tip #4: I hate AA. I still think it's incredibly helpful for a non-insignificant number of people out there. I'm an atheist. I never bought into the steps. But the stories... hearing people say things that I'd never been able to put into words... was life changing. I wasn't the only one that couldn't put it down. It helped to hear that in words that I can relate to.

Tip #5: Get a mindfulness practice. I think a blend of meditation and stoicism (per William B. Irvine's book) is a great start. Skip the meditation if you have any trauma unless you're guided by a professional.

Tip #6: Make new friends, cut back on the old ones

Tip #7: Hobbies. Find some.

Tip #8: Keep doing what you're doing: asking for help.

Good luck. I hope you find your groove. My life is so much better today because I don't drink.

> How did Linus not go on a rampage after breaking userspace for an entire year?

Linus' commandment about not breaking userspace is frequently misunderstood. He wants to ensure that user-space /programs/ do not break (even if they rely on buggy behavior that made it into a release), not that the /user/ will never see any breakage of the system whatsoever, which is of course an impossible goal. Device drivers and filesystems are firmly system-level stuff, bugs and backwards-incompatible changes in those areas are regrettable but happen all the same.
The description of CL format in the cited Wikipedia entry has its own charm. Here’s a sentence:

“The second special character, #, is substituted by the tally of format arguments yet abiding their consumption.”
What's simple to solve is homelessness.

You give them a home. Then they are no longer homeless.

The fact that this is also demonstrably (in several different jurisdictions now) less costly than either imprisoning them or dealing with the other consequences of a significant homeless population should make it a no-brainer.

But too many people have internalized the idea that no one should ever have anything they haven't "earned", including the basics necessary for survival (food, shelter, clothing, clean water, etc), so there's always angry opposition to this. (Plus, of course, the racism angle, which is fairly significant, if often unspoken.)
It's separate parts of the city, at least where I was talking about. The police issue the citation and collect the revenue, not the garbage collection part of the city.

Fundamentally it's just the same thing as any other city service: they have no actual obligation to provide any service. Your recourse is to move to another jurisdiction, which I did.
