> John Paul Jones is perhaps the most famous American Privateer. In 1776, when the Revolutionary War started, John Paul Jones and his ship was off in Europe on other business. Hearing that war has been declared, he began to attack the British Isles on behalf of the USA.

John Paul Jones had been living in the american colonies for a few years before the war broke out. He was a member of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia in 1774, and personally knew Richard Henry Lee. When the war broke out in 1775 he joined the American navy and was a lieutenant serving on the USS Alfred, the first ship to be commissioned by the Continental Navy. While many of the missions he commanded involved commerce raiding, he was never a privateer and never carried Letters of Marque.

> Alas: the American Flag was described to him through letters. So he really didn't know what it looked like.

John Paul Jones was actually the very first person to hoist America's official naval ensign, one of his duties on the maiden voyage of the Alfred. It was actually Ben Franklin who didn't know what an American flag looked like, and told the dutch it had blue stripes.

> John Paul Jones was captured however and charged for Piracy. Fortunately, he had an American Flag flying on his ship, so he was "legitimate".

He was not captured and charged with Piracy, he was in a Dutch port and the Brtish asked he be handed over as a pirate, instead of as a commander of an American vessel. He knew perfectly well what an American naval ensign looked like, and had been flying one, but it was shot away in battle. In fact the whole ship had been sunk and he transferred over to a British ship captured in the same battle. Further, this event occurred in 1779, more than 3 years after Jones had joined the American Navy, and was actually the last American ship that he would command.
No, there is nothing all that specific about vector spaces. This is true about general algebraic structures.

What you want to care about here is preserving structures: How would you define addition on a disjoint union? e.g. If you have V⊔W you can add two things in V and you can add two things in W, but what about something in V with something in W? Which zero vector is "the" zero vector?

If you don't have all those properties that make a vector space, then it's just a set. Then, yes, if for some reason you want to do the sum of vector spaces V and W as sets, you will get the disjoint union of these sets. That would be a pretty odd thing to do though; in that case, why are they vector spaces?
I would love to see how that applies to Copilot!
I prefer a coding standards document that is divided up into hard and fast rules and guidelines and clearly states which is which. Otherwise, reviews can quickly degrade into arguments.
> except that he continued to not read the language documentation before asking a bunch of questions

Can't really blame people for that too much, most language documentation is utterly unreadable unless you already know exactly what you're doing. And even if you do get it, it's in one eye and out the other. Most people just don't learn very well from reading technical information you don't need to use right away. You might be a happy exception and got to build up your notoriety that way
The point is, he didn't opt in to being surveilled by Amazon. That it had a positive outcome is irrelevant to the point. It's a strange anecdata.

What's the difference between what you wrote and responding to someone who is in favor on limits of publicly brandishing guns with: I don't know about your neighbor. But my neighbor (a black man, fyi) was very happy that I sat on my porch with a loaded shotgun every evening, and shot the dude who climbed through his window and stole his kid's MacBook.
Yeah I was too negative. Vendor lock-in sucks so I'm glad someone is tackling it and I should have started with that.

But I think people shouldn't hold back criticism either just because something is free or open source. Stability AI (Stable Diffusion) just sold out and took $100 million from investors after being open source. Even if they're providing something altruistically now you never know if that will change after VC, buyout offer, or some other event.
I think I’m more worried about the lifecycle of that key. Pritunl issues new keys all the time. What does Tailscale etc do?

Because these keys aren’t the short life, in-memory session keys[1], but auth keys. Knowing this single key effectively bypasses any MFA you may have.

Seems like Tailscale has 180 days by default[2], which feels a bit too long for a person who expects MFA to be more proactive than this. Sure you can change the default to 1 day, but how many users know it’s possible or would even think to change that?

Compare that with OpenVPN where you can force every single auth attempt to use a password plus TOTP code for instance.

you are confused with the concept of "most"
does that help you?

Yes, thanks!

Do you think I should add Youtube?

No, you are right, youtube is very popular.

As for the circles, honestly, I don't know. Since nobody else mentioned it, it could be that only I have that problem. And in that scenario, you can safely ignore it. If more people complain, maybe they will have the perfect solution.
I can't understand their argument that a text file 'isn't a web content'; seems like a bullshit excuse.

I learned this from Gallipoli (1981 Peter Weir movie about WW1). In the movie they get totally screwed by this trick when it turns out it’s overcast.
Tangent, that movie is great, the synthesizer music is odd but to me it works and the whole movie is beautiful.
You can say the same thing about health. A year of less stress at age 30 is more valuable than when you are 60.
Regardless, a video is poor medium to communicate the idea. Publish at least a summary with actual work shown, or the video is just useless self-promotional fluff
What is happening in the UK and Europe right now is a preview of a future where fossil fuel supply is rapidly curtailed before alternatives are ready.

It's a cautionary tale about moving too fast in the right direction.

It's easy to say "stop oil now" and things like that, but the reality is that there is only so much suffering the population will take before they turn to right-wing populist politicians who promise to roll back the progress that has been made, or their governments bankrupt themselves by subsidizing the pain away. These changes need to be made gradually.
I doubt there is any solution that is both robust and simple. In a sense, it is the same problem as that which ad blockers are attempting to solve.
The socioeconomic impact of a grocery store is far more important than anything happening in the SaaS world. Towns live and die by grocery stores-- food deserts as they're known in areas that go without. It's fair to be critical of a sector with tighter margins because food is rather low on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. SaaS is expendable, food isn't.
BTW, my dad once was negotiating for a mortgage with the local bank branch manager. He said the manager gave him a long cock-and-bull story about how mortgages worked. Finally, the manager asked him what brought my dad to town. My dad replied that he'd been hired as head of the finance department at the local college.

My dad said the manager's expression was priceless.

No, I am not confused about things like compound interest, what the sum of all the payments would be, etc. I often tell kids who complain "who needs math" that failing to learn about compound interest is going to cost them plenty.
I can sympathize with this. I love discovering some generalization that subsumes all the complexity. But what if we follow this to its extreme? Suppose we find the one perfect symbol that precipitates all other concepts? What then does that symbol even do but just reflect or perturb its environment? Isn't that just like moving the goalposts? Makes me think of the concept of Kolmogorov complexity. That's the idea that the informational content of some signal is equivalent to the length of the shortest computer program that can produce it. But what interprets the program? And how complex is that thing? It's all circular. And I'm not sure there's really a way out of that. It's just an inherent feature of looking at the universe conceptually.
Hmm, that seems oddly short. Don't nuclear subs regularly go 20 years between refuelling? But then again they use weapons grade enriched fuel so that's probably why.
What I mean by one shot is one shot in that product. You only tape a given chip once (unless you screwed up and somehow still have the money for a redo), but you absolutely expect that you are going to tape out more than one chip if you are a chip company. So it is genuinely part of a process.
OK. I'd say that it depends on what is meant by "treating software engineers as factory workers."

Elsewhere in the thread I reference Team Software Process (TSP) which is a development methodology that uses feedback to continuously improve the development process in a way that's very similar to manufacturing methods. I've done it; it works.
The RasPi kinda is that, at least when they're in stock. There are several IP camera software loads for them, whether it's for local storage, or streaming over the network.
Lots of people who complain disproportionately about immigration are fed lies by Fox News.

And yet, illegal immigration is absolutely not a good thing and it should not be called racism to be concerned about the impact it has on the country or on border communities.

You are correct only in the narrow sense that it has nothing to do with the response to the Uvalde school shooting.
Thanks for that! (I felt like I had to be missing something, with how useless rsync progress usually was.)
I thought this was a very high quality lecture in that it managed to be very accessible despite being grounded in very high level physics ideas. It's a very narrow path to walk between the chasm of confusion/boredom, and the chasm of misleading pop-sci explanations.

The first estimates from Ioannidis from the flawed (in every possible way) California paper were less than 0.1% IFR. He later revised them to 0.16% IFR, not sure if subsequent "revision" (=admission of being wrong) was done afterwards.
Bear in mind, that was his IFR estimate for March-April 2020, when a lot of treatment was being done wrong (=intubate early) and even steroids were not supposed to be used for treatment outside RCTs.

Meanwhile, the CFR at Diamond Princess was at 2.6%, so refrain from the idiocy "1 in 8 IFR estimates" as only completely uninformed people will fall for them.
The state is just people though, and people like money. It's pretty naive to think that the politicians in charge of this stuff don't get huge kickbacks from private prison operators.

I am not completely sure whether most of Ioannidis' own research is "false" - but all of his covid takes (in whatever form) are.
You never know where something will take you. I’ve had a 3d printer for the past 5 years, but connected a few dots earlier this year and have been paying all my bills with a small business built around a very niche item I design and sell.

Cloudflare is balancing on a razer for this TOS technicality.
More fundamentally, does this tech actually make one's life completely legible to tech companies?
Not sure, but I feel you might not get the point the above commenter is saying.

The 9th gen iPad costs $329 , the 10th gen costs $449, and, while it's clear that is a considerable raise for a "budget" tablet (+36%), the author, added an extra $249+$99 (keyboard + pencil) to inflate the price of the iPad 10 up to $800, then compares the new price to iPad 9 price. Doing basic math here, we might be tricked that the new price is more than doubled. Which I consider it a logical fallacy, where you tweak one side of the equation to reach a desired result.
People are taking issue that you imply only women can raise children. I hope you can realize that is not remotely factual.
that's true

aside from such a wide range of parts, there is also a wide discrepancy in what LA natives do and care about, compared to what transplants do and make reference to. almost no overlap.

I think we can correlate what I'm referring to with the monthly rent though
Obviously the definition of freeloader is not wanting to use violence to extract money from others. Clearly there is no way to build a road exclusively with voluntary transactions.

First of all, at least you are honest about commenting on something for which you have no basis to be commenting on, having not read the article.

Second, the appropriate response may not be to ban all of those things outright, but comprehensive regulation is certainly within the best interests of society.

Finally, the casual assertion of abortion as a right is noted and summarily rejected. I won’t engage further though on that point, in an effort to not drag us off topic.
Hm, yeah, true, you do need to pay for reads, you're right.

Is this the first piece of major non-voluntary regulation big tech has seen in the past decade? Not surprising it came from Europe, US politicans are super subservient to capital, but the EU doesn't really have any reason to care about some billionaire throwing a tantrum and launching a campaign attacking them
Haven't we collectively learned the lesson, globalization makes for an extremely vulnerable world.

It's an entire infrastructure and skill base which is being maintained.

When the need arises the government can cause growth. They can't cause knowledge. There are skilled workers and organizers that make shipbuilding happen, likewise a skilled workforce of engineers, navigators and shiphandlers that know how to operate vessels. These things take years or decades to master.

Articles like this are just more globalist rhetoric pitched in with some neocon export-your-slavery.

If it gets too bad, that's how you end up with riots, local politicians dead, buildings torched, etc. Food riots are not something you fuck with.... If history has anything to say about that.

I don't think we've seen that scope here in the US... Yet. But given the number of guns, "it's a when, not an if" if the politicians allow extreme food scarcity to happen in a wide area.
The difference is that your example is made-up while mine is true, recent, and (I believe) representative of normal people's attitudes. Normal people love cameras because normal people much prefer being surveilled by Amazon (or, in most cases, by Amazon's cheaper and less secure Chinese competitors in the camera business) vs. having their home broken into and their pawnable electronics stolen.
This is a great trick and with practice you don't even need a watch, heck you don't even need an object to cast a shadow.

The sun is over there, a shadow would be that way, it's about 5 o'clock. That must be north!

What I've always thought of as witchcraft is this.

Jab a stick in the ground, mark the end of the shadow. Come back some time later say 15-30mins. Mark the new end of the shadow.

Draw a line between marks and that is an east-west line!

In the Northern hemisphere the stick is south of that line, in the southern hemisphere it's North!

What!!
Great to see you guys take all the things into account.

James Webb telescope is great and all, but I have to say I think the older image is more stunning and more aesthetically pleasing. Cleaner, simpler, nicer colors, more mysterious looking.

I know I’ll be downvoted for this.

Personally, I get it. The statement is perfect: “what’s the point of beautiful art if there’s no habitable planet to appreciate it in?” I get that the art wasn’t actually damaged, and a large part of me is thankful for that..

But I would love to see a stream of priceless works of art irreparably damaged by Gen Z’s. It’s too poetically perfect. The statement? “Earth is a priceless work of art, damaged by profiteers from the previous generation. So vandalism is fair game, right?” I think Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Son” would be quite the statement. And I can’t imagine an artist hanging in the Rijks who wouldn’t agree with this sentiment on some level either.

Besides, if Banksy can do it and suddenly it’s worth even more money…
Not true… if you are good at time management you can still do almost all the things you used to do. Especially with 2 parents and 1 kid!
There are books on the topic e.g.,
"The End Of Physics" by D.Lindley.

There are two questions:

- whether there are laws that describe everything there is to know (e.g., the answer is yes for chess—there are rules that describe it). It is the "fundamental" dimension (particle physics at the moment)

- whether there is something to do once we know all the laws. The answer is yes ("knowing rules do not make you a grandmaster") e.g., we likely know all of the fundamental physics required for turbulence or brains but it doesn't solve these fields (there are interesting unresolved problems). It is the "applications" dimension.

Nice! much better now without Instagram and Twitter (at least for me), good job!

I'm going to give the Google results column with the same width a try, maybe you are right. I think it also depends on the specific user’s screen size. In any case, I would recommend you let each user decide the width of the columns.

About ordering, yes, I was referring to manually, but I hadn’t thought in automatically mode tbh, but based on relevance it is probably best as you mention now that I think twice about it. I don’t know how easy or hard is to implement this feature the right way though, it may even depend on each user specific search habits, but it just a thought.

And regarding changes, yes, those would be the must-have, highest priority, and most valuable features you can add imo.

Ironically much of the problem in California is that California essentially adopted German forest management practices, which don't work in California, because Germany has a very different climate. Germany is much wetter, and so when a tree falls in the forest, in Germany it rots. In much of California, it just sits there until it catches fire.

What this means is that in Germany, suppressing every fire is a good strategy, because eventually the energy embedded in the dead wood is consumed by bacteria. In California, it can only be consumed by fire (or potentially mechanical removal). Constant suppression only serves to make the fires much worse when they inevitably do happen.

I'm, generally, not bullish: But only because the predominating "what value do products like this bring" arguments from those who are bullish is some variation of "it's great for learning/beginners". That's simply no way to build a venture business (and replit has received... $105M).

Higher layers of abstraction can make sense; no code tools can be killer; but that isn't really replit. Replit is just a weird product on the side of the abstraction spectrum which requires its devs to understand a large chunk of what would be required to get, say, a nodejs server running on, say, Heroku.

The API is at the same state across all versions of Orion as far as I can tell, which means that at the point it works on your iPhone it will also work on iPad. I would guess that it will be quite soon considering even a couple of weeks ago uBlock didn't work 100% and now it is fully functional.
