> That said, I’m in favor of everyone on the planet having a Wikipedia entry if anyone wants to make it for them.

I can't imagine a worse idea for some many reasons.

- Wikipedia isn't supposed to have original research, and most people haven't been researched.

- I don't want to search for composer John Williams and then see 300,000 other random people that fewer than 10 people want to read anything about.

- Moderation is hard already.
Yes, please!

And also for the command line. Why there's no global option to switch off tqdm and all similar "modern" clutter? Like NO_COLOR but with all terminal animations and stuff.
> Can you explicitly state

I can’t explicitly state that because I can’t look at the code right now. What I can say is that I would be very surprised if it was. XCheck isn’t meant to be called explicitly by integrity detection. Detection should make its own decision and take the action on the account or content. During action enforcement XCheck is implicitly called.

But anyhow, if you’re looking for an employee to explicitly state that XCheck isn’t used this way, here’s one (https://twitter.com/guyro/status/1579835594980864001)

> The stories are simply incorrect about the cross-check program, which was built to prevent potential over-enforcement mistakes. It has nothing to do with the ability to report posts, as alleged in the article.
"Visually identified as quadcopters" was way more specific than I was expecting, going in with "mysterious drones" and thinking of recent UAP report disclosures. And they held station for 2h 20m? And one landed on the deck?!

I was really impressed by the Youtube video soundtrack, too--the information logging & collection training for that moment must have been so epic. Seems like that sailor did an awesome job. Calling out _any_ information other than "whoa, seems like a drone??? what time is it...let's see" is just not normal human nature.
It’s a system where relentless money printing cripples it by forcing that perspective. You need to gamble in order to keep your shirt, or you need to raise prices.

Simple solution is not to print money. Capitalism is not the problem.
Thank you! Great info.
Fair enough I suppose. That said, I personally would rather delete a comment that potentially has a brigade incoming towards it while I still can, than wait too long and suffer the consequences of malicious people.

I mean, I still have the original comment saved on a wordpad if I decide to put it up again; but at a slightly later time when those people have moved on to whatever it is that annoys them next.

I'm also new here, so I am doing my best to curtail the effects of the malicious against me as best as possible.
Where does this meme come from that China is this horror show held together only by torturing and enslaving their population into submission?

History? Until Deng's reforms created a private market in food, block and village Chinese Communist Party (CCP) committee had absolute power of life and death over those under it through their issuing of food ration coupons. This data from some Chinese grad students I knew who lived through that and the transition, plus it was generally known. See also how the one child policy was implimented. They also still execute a lot of people, and politically a lot of corruption cases which sometimes go that far are clearly Xi and his new Tsinghua clique eliminating competition. Which has created a great many enemies in the CCP, that is its ruling class especially now with the suppression of tech companies.

At a higher level, the estimated 70 million people the CCP killed after gaining power in 1949? That may be high, a lot of it is from Mao's enemies, but on the other hand we keep increasing the estimates of deaths from the Cultural Revolution. Which Mao used to regain power after his very costly Great Leap Forward and the ensuing famine per those estimates killed tens of millions and cost him de facto paramount position.

Post-Mao and the Gang of Four the rulers of China made various agreements to ensure such things would not happen again. Xi and his new clique shredded them, and for a less contentious than the issues with Xinjiang Muslims example look at the brutality of Xi's Zero COVID policy. If Xi navigates the current every five year congress meeting to get his third term there's no reason to expect things to get better. Very possibly the same if he fails and is effectively deposed.

Those thousand year old traditions? Mao did his very best to stamp them out, especially in the Cultural Revolution. I would wonder if they're done at any greater than a cargo cult level today, although that might be enough for the public. Except of course those members of metro areas that are getting smashed when a few cases of COVID are found in them, those "owning" real estate, or those without a social safety net where 4 grandparents depend on 2 parents who depend on 1 child for the extremes of the effects of the one child policy.

For the economics you cite, also see how the residential property bubble is bursting now. That's not necessarily the fault of Xi, was inevitable sooner or later, but it is happening now in concert with other negative things including backlash like this very uncertain in its effects US chip tech embargo (the US Commerce Department has a great deal of discretion in what it will license someday).
That's exactly my point.

Sure, it is possible to model these things as functions, for example by "passing" the entire world as a "parameter". However, it is an extremely contrived modelling, basically you're hammering the square problem domain into the round function hole with the biggest hammer you can find until it "fits".

It is also possible to model these things as Turing machines, or NAND gates...
I think they are working on both. If it’s an IOT OS this one might have a radically different goal.

Problem is the mono C# compiler is several years behind Roslyn in terms of features. It's pretty much a non-starter if you don't have nullable types in 2022.
It makes sense from a technical perspective why you'd build a system like XCheck. The problem is that once you build XCheck you actually need to say to your C-suite and PR department "Actually no, you can't say we treat everyone equally, we're manually going in and exempting certain people from scrutiny, and that's entirely within our discretion."

The problem isn't technical, it's legal - you can't build a system that operates one way and then publicly misrepresent it.

I think you’re missing the point. Let me try this: there’s a tipping point where you have 50% occupancy and charge $x0,000 for 500 sq ft and make just as much money as you would at 100% occupancy with a charge of $x000. The difference between these two is in the latter scenario, some people have no place to live because they can’t afford the $x0,000. The owner corporation doesn’t care, they make just as much money either way.

When tampering gubment censorship, one should apply the usual opsec rules and thus stick to mature and proven solutions and refrain from experimenting. This means Tor or reputable commercial VPN provider, not yet-another-tor-killer. And the developers in general should invest more efforts into low-level attacks like GoodbyeDPI instead.

I certainly agree with that, but that level of detachment and comfort with technology comes with time. When you start out, programming is your tool, until you grow and discover new tools, usually through the help of other people. Certainly communities, conferences, meetups, websites centered around specific technologies, niches and programming languages make sense. They are not “fake.”
I go to some pain in my talks to say "instruction count is not a good proxy for performance", but unfortunately folks do still use it. It's handy to say "hey, there's no loop in this output" or "this loop does 3 multiplies; the alternative does two and an add" or similar. It's a mixed blessing to have brought the compiler output to the masses, I can only hope it starts a useful learning process!

I don't disagree with you, but it's the volume of the "pointing it out" that is tiresome. I was hoping to see an interesting technical discussion of the new OS, but instead any that might exist is drowned out with an avalanche of dumb. It's not a verboten thing to say, but it is very low effort and uninteresting, and when it makes up 90% of the comments on an otherwise pretty interesting announcement...
No, I mean the unnecessary margins around literally every structure “minimum setback requirements.”
I have low-motion set on my android device and support for it is let's say highly variable

I also have no idea why the system bothers with most of the animations -- the material 'hero animation' where there are two different animations with sequential curves is awful https://docs.flutter.dev/development/ui/animations/hero-anim.... The 'stretch at end of scroll' feature was making people sick if you believe reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/qcadhq/the_ove...

These also take upwards of a second, which is a lot of time when I'm trying to get somewhere. I suspect they're being emulated on the CPU on older hardware, contributing to jank and battery issues

Some apps respond to low motion mode by replacing smooth motion with high-frequency flicker, which seems like exactly the wrong thing to do. I kind of wonder if this is the OS battling some framework like Lottie

Fancy 'different parts of the layout have different scrolling rules' in e.g. android google maps are deranged and make everything worse

Rip it all out and focus your energy on making usable software for people maybe?
I have nothing against being called a resource and treated as such. It's a clear deal for me. I do my stuff and bear as much responsibility for your business and care for it as much as lump of iron.

Any other arrangement seems to me like different flavor of "we are a family" dishonest.
No I don't think that's right. From the article:

> “This emerging threat has forced local fire departments to divert resources away from hurricane recovery to control and contain these dangerous fires,” Scott said. “Car fires from electric vehicles have proven to be extremely dangerous and last for a prolonged period, taking in many cases up to six hours to burn out.”

The concern is not the risk the fires pose to firefighers. The concern is the risk posed by fires diverting the attention of firefighters from other hurricane related matters. The electric car fires are particularly dangerous in this regard because they take much longer to put out, diverting firefighter resources for longer. Every firefighter spraying water on an electric car for six hours is a firefighter not helping people out of flooded buildings, or whatever else they'd otherwise be doing. In the hurricane scenario, electric cars are a unique concern because they catch fire in situations where ICE cars don't; when flooded.

In a wildfire, car fires aren't a diversion from fighting the wildfire because it's all part of the same fire. And in a wildfire any car caught in the fire is going to burn until it is a pool of molten aluminum, regardless of what kind of car it was. Replace all the electric cars in a hurricane with ICE, and there will be fewer car fires. Replace all the ICE cars in a wildfire with electric, and there will be just as many car fires.

tl;dr: Wildfires burn all cars. Hurricanes burn electric cars specifically.
I find it hard to believe that there would be no cultural heritage after ~700 years.

* Those pages have to be stored somewhere. They're all MB of space and they make DB tables longer and introduce other issues and generally clog up the rest of the site

* Those pages all have to be moderated (and who will moderate irrelevant pages), all open wikipedia to charges of copyright infringement, slander/liable and other issues

* Those pages distract from actual, useful pages. At best they actually distract from it, at worse they will actively contradict it

* It encourages people to edit wikipedia for the wrong reasons. We already have issues with politicians and CEOs editing wikipedia for personal gain.

* Privacy. I am not notable. There should not be an article about me, even though I have published research. The last thing I want is an article about me I then have to either correct or leave incorrect, that pops up when you google me. I have more than enough social media already thanks, the last thing I want is an "account" where I am not even in charge of what it says...

* Lack of sources. If you let in 1000 small articles, you have to allow articles with few to no sources. If you do that, you will get important or popular articles being created also with no sources. Banning non-noteworthy articles also bans un-sourced articles.

>A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

I don't love that criterion, because it just ends up upholding biases from other media. That's how you end up with situations like how the Gorn (a throwaway character that Captain Kirk encounters in Star Trek) has a more thorough Wikipedia article than many Nobel Prize winners.
> That last bit is strange because ECC is reportedly very good as a validation tool for overclocking builds

Well, yes, but it's not the only tool. In practice you'd use some validation software suite to find a reasonable stable configuration and afterwards prey. Overclockers, who rather than spending extra money on a CPU which assuredly delivers requested performance stress their hardware beyond specifications, are least likely to pay for the extra bits.

Yeah, well, people want housing to be an investment and we've all seen where that got us. People want hour long showers and 1L big gulps of soda and NFTs. The will of the people doesn't count for squat, people are idiots.
This is mostly a distraction from the underlying issue. The algorithm helps sellers to maximize prices given the supply & demand so, yes, this probably is responsible for a few percentage points of increase in price, in the same way that price comparison websites are responsible for a small decrease in the price of car rentals.

But the underlying problem here is the supply & demand! Rentals are competitive, an algorithm can't force people to pay more than an comparable rental property is charging.

It's the lack of housing supply in areas like SF is responsible for rents being a multiple of what they could be.

Developers want to build apartments, but are prevented from doing so by local regulations. So we need to change those regulations or, as is increasingly happening in the last couple of California's legislative sessions, take control away from local authorities (e.g. SF Board of Supervisors).
Ironically, what I meant was the land that is currently undrivable asphalt. Have you ever been to Plantation? It’s just one big tarmac basically.
Yes. Without a doubt. More so, if dynamically typed languages are the only ones you know.

I've been avoiding them as they were Windows only early days, and Entity Framework Core was too immature at the beginning after the open source wave.

Some points, from my PoV of developing business/CRUD type applications;

- .NET framework is well engineered solutions to most of the standard requirements in software development. I've spent countless hours looking for solutions in Python for common things like structured logging, validation, websockets, datetime utilities, cryptography, cli, unit conversions etc. when working with Python.

- There are a lot of features for reducing boilerplate. Getting better with every release.

- Static typing doesn't get in your way. Just the opposite. Eagerly waiting for discriminated unions.

- LINQ, especially when combined with EF Core, is godsend.
> In the early years of our sample, women were less likely to be selected as members [of AAAS and NAS] than men with similar records. By the 1990s, the selection process at both academies was approximately gender-neutral, conditional on publications and citations. In the past 20 years, however, a positive preference for female members has emerged and strengthened in all three fields. Currently, women are 3-15 times more likely to be selected as members of the AAAS and NAS than men with similar publication and citation records.

You are mistaken.

That is actually market success by any measure.

A drone big enough to carry useful munitions would also be large enough to identify on radar and shoot down.

The risks a small drone plays are either using itself as a physical projectile (kamikaze) or information gathering (transmitting that information) and then self destructing to avoid identification of source.

An the defensive side, directed beams of energy (including just "light") should be enough to render a drone ineffective at its job. And surely there are ECM measures which could be used at military ship power levels that would fry a drone.
