You will read the occasional horror story of people getting CPS called on them by some out of touch busybody because they let their kids walk to the park, but honestly that is just as rare as stranger-danger abductions. It's on the order of a case every few years. Basically nothing worth worrying about.
A common misconception is that helmets protect you from cars, according to the helmet manufacturers they are not:

You're right, we should ban the camera and paintbrush as well because people can make illegal materials out of them too.
Such a system is still vulnerable (I'd daresay even more so) to account takeovers. And it might even have cascading effects depending on how your ban one level up goes. For a first approximation, even if one user can only invite 2 users, exponential growth will mean that bots may still pose a problem.
I'm not saying the media is blameless, but this seems like a lot of post-hoc thinking - you're treating the media like they should have known that omicron would exist and so they shouldn't have reported the effectiveness of the vaccines on earlier strains, or reported whatever was the current understood science of the time because things later changed when they didn't know that.
> Think asking for a generic question around trust is probably not the right question to ask, and the answers aren't really insightful.

I agree, I’m not really sure what not trusting the media means. I generally speaking think in broad strokes the New York Times and NPR try to get the facts right.

But I suspect this basically means less that they think they are objectively wrong and more that they don’t share their perspective, and people seem to focus more on the high profile mishaps and less on the day to day. No one would be trustworthy if you only focused on our high profile mishaps.

Seeing only percentages without also relative sizes of each groups makes it hard for me to infer that. If someone identified as independent due to not feeling like there were differences between the parties in the past, maybe the growing divide in worldview of each side caused them to start to see a difference. Put another way, maybe the independents who trust the media found it harder to not pick a side.

The latest electronic gadget is NOT what it is about

It is whether the democracies of the world will abandon democracy and allow dictators to take over their societies by threat of force or force.

If we are not both better armed, better prepared, and willing to fight, we might as well hand over the key to Putin, Xi, and Un, and live under their dictatorships.

If we want freedom, we must risk war, and if the threat is nuclear war, then that most of all must be faced down. There is a reason we don't negotiate with terrorists or blackmailers — because if we negotiate and let them gain from terrorism or blackmail, we get a short period of peace before they try it again, along with every other wannabe dictator who can get their hands on some weapons. This all applies even more strongly with nukes.

It sucks, but there is no other choice.
Walking to a store everyday to buy only their daily necessities would end up costing them a lot more than if they were buying a bunch of what they need in bulk, and nobody ( especially an elderly person) is going to walk home carrying around their items in bulk sizes.

Even for people lucky enough to live in those rare areas where you can walk to a grocery store, it's extremely useful to have access to a car you can fill up with large items.

I'm American and the photo of the bikes parked at the school shocked me. I've never seen so many bikes in one place. I'd estimate that bicycle usage in the schools near me at around 1%. When I was in high school (800 students) I was one of 4 people who regularly biked to school.

I'd love to see the US start to organically shift toward the infrastructure you have in the Netherlands.

Using MacOS buys you some more time. Linux is a dumpster fire (no its not the year of Linux nor will I try Linux Mint for the 1000th time). While its not open source, MacOS still acts like an OS from the Win 7 days...for now anyway. They will probably end up going down the road of Win 11 but I think its going to take many more years till they get there.

They also offer excellent support. Their hardware gets like 10 years of OS updates. An M2 Mac today will last well past the next two US presidential cycles.
There is action and there is the reaction. You could argue that the action is identical. But the reaction—internal, institutional, political—was and is not participating similar.

That's not what what virologists mean when they say "gain of function." By that definition, almost all lab virology would be considered "gain-of-function." If you strictly regulated that, virtually all virology research would grind to a halt.

The gain-of-function debate began in the 2010s over a specific set of experiments that were done on influenza. The term is used to describe changes that render a virus that has the potential to become a pandemic more virulent or more transmissive.

I have no problem with people rewriting their projects in whatever language they see fit.

What stood out for me in the article is him saying that it's difficult getting developers with experience in both Python and C++.

So, I wonder, if his in-house devs could pick up Rust that they previously couldn't write, why does he think he can not hire a good programmer and charge him to learn the stack the company uses.
Why must they employ someone that already writes Python or C++.

Is Rust such a straight-forward language that people new to the language can write a very performant programme
I think the comment you are replying to is saying that "the news" cannot be reported on objectively simply because there is more "news" that can be reported on than any given news organization's available bandwidth (with print papers this is immediately obvious, since the limitation is physical space; but it also affects any other medium).

The act of choosing what to report and what to leave out is a subjective act, just like the same photo cropped differently can tell opposite stories!

So there is yellow and bad journalism, but even "good" journalism cannot be objective.
That analogy doesn't work because unlike an art work, you can't sell a 20 line snippet.

My point is that winters in the continental United States are significantly different than the winters in Northern Europe.

The infrastructure appropriate for one isn't necessarily appropriate for the other.

For what it's worth, Oslo is still 10 degrees F (5.5 degrees C) warmer in the middle of winter than Eau Claire.

London, Ontario (used in the video) is further south than Madison, WI.

> The cold season lasts for 3.3 months, from December 3 to March 13, with an average daily high temperature below 38°F. The coldest month of the year in London is January, with an average low of 18°F and high of 29°F.

It's a bit nippier than Assen but its quite a bit warmer than Eau Claire in the winter.

It really is, that’s why the basic mathematical principled discovered in India, Mesopotamia and Greece have spread and been further developed throughout the world. Because they work just as well everywhere. The Maya discovered the natural numbers and zero, did arithmetic and performed calendrical and astronomical calculations. China developed their numerical system independently, calculated Pi, performed division, root extraction and linear algebra and many original techniques. The forms of expression and some techniques were unique but maths is maths.
So they can be the center of it and control it, of course.

That's not true. While it isn't a huge number, I've noted that the bike racks at the local elementary are usually full unless the weather is crummy. Granted, they don't have a ton of racks so it's probably only a couple of dozen bikes or so but that's not nothing. A decent number of kids in that neighborhood walk as well.

My kids ride the bus, mostly because there is a gap in the sidewalk where the road dips into the neighboring county between my house and the school and that road is rather busy. It's an unfortunate quirk of the geography for the elementary, but it will be possible for them to bike to the middle school if they want to.
You could draw maybe a closer analogue to the first Gulf War than to the Iraq War. Of course the direct involvement of Russia makes neither all that close of a comparison.
> My comparison would rely on running several bitcoin networks in parallel. Of course it does not make sense economically speaking, but it allows for a back of the envelope estimate.

Mmmm, I understand you're looking for a convenient way to mathematically equate the two on a per transaction basis for comparison's sake, but its just really difficult. For example, your several bitcoin networks in parallel doesn't really exist, because separate networks running in parallel are not interoperable (Bitcoin vs Litecoin). You lose the utility of network effects, etc.

Its like comparing energy costs of bicycles and ocean freighters, but no amount of bicycles could ever tow freight across an ocean.
I'd argue Python is strongly, dynamically typed, and that "weak" and "dynamic" are on different axes.
You'll want to look at Github Apps as thats closer to how those works vs how personal access tokens work. Apps have a private key that is associated to Github, which is used to create and sign JWTs that are valid for some period.
All locations are potentially unsafe locations. An interlock prevents people from being in a place they aren't supposed to be, it does nothing for when something goes wrong in a place you are supposed to be. You can take precautions to reduce the odds of something bad happening at the place you are supposed to be, but there's always something else that can go wrong.
The survey question asks about trust in “mass media,” which most would interpret as corporate media outlets. I doubt survey respondents would consider stuff like AlterNet and The Daily Wire to be “mass media,” even though they report on the news. Here’s the exact survey question:

“In general, how much trust and confidence do you have in the mass media -- such as newspapers, TV and radio -- when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly -- a great deal, a fair amount, not very much or none at all?”

I do think the question should be clarified though.

It just makes you wonder what they would even be spying on if they were adversaries, because you could just go to san onofre beach with a set of binoculars if you wanted to observe these formations coming out of camp pendleton in an even more discrete manner than some newfangled drone that the military might very well detect, because you can never be sure of the adversaries capabilities.

> They can be stored and used on schools systems and distributed to pupils and students. They are interactive and link to further information from technologystudent.com. They can be used without an internet connection, as a stand-alone revision and learning tool.

It seems like one of the goals was to make them available to be used offline. It may also be easier for e.g., schools to just send these out to students via email rather than maintaining a web server or under some "resources" file system that some education management systems have. Fewer and fewer schools are standing up their own websites for individual courses and are instead using systems like Canvas, which can make it a pain for an instructor to provide HTML content. They also seem to be targeting a global audience, so it may be useful in countries with poor or unstable internet.

I agree this seems to be the currently in vogue practice, but I am confused by it!

SSH keys are public-private key pairs, where the private portion can live in a hardware token or software agent that only signs individual challenges and never exposes the private key. (It's possible in theory, although admittedly not common, for the user agent to limit approvals to a particular repository using the techniques in https://github.com/StanfordSNR/guardian-agent . It would be nicer if GitHub would enforce granular permissions on SSH keys!)

If I understand right, HTTP access tokens are... bearer tokens where I have to handle the plaintext (so I can transmit it to GitHub) every time I want to use it? I agree it's nice to have GitHub enforcing more granular permissions, but even so the trade really doesn't seem worth it. I may not be getting something here.

> It's rather offensive to assume that a group of UX professionals decided to take on a massive overhaul just for fun.

Not fun, but giving themselves work.

Unfortunately, no UI team ever got rewarded for leaving a good product alone. They're hired to work, so they work.

Anyone old enough has seen the quality of certain products peak and then decline, after the company just couldn't leave well enough alone, and ruined excellence with needless tampering. I've hung on to various applications long after their EOL because the new versions were really worse. History is replete with great websites absolutely ruined by redesigns.

This field needs more of an old traditional craftsman appreciation for excellence.
If that's your argument, then what do you even need the XD strain for? You could simply assert that because natural omicron has spread widely, any lab chimera with the omicron spike must be safe. That seems remarkably cavalier though, considering that (a) natural omicron continues to spread, and kill people every day; and (b) while China's reported case counts are probably inaccurate, they probably do still have a large population that's completely omicron-naive.
I just bought a house in a streetcar suburb of Philadelphia, and this is among the reasons why. I've lived in some places that were more walkable and some places that were more car-dependent, and I know for sure that when I'm raising kids I want them to be able to get around on their own. I (mostly) had that benefit growing up and I don't want to deny that to them.
Yeah to me the definition seems dependent on the experimental results. If the experiment succeeds in creating Captain Trips, it was GoF. If not, it wasn’t?
Agree. I think the so called "cloud" is _the_ abstraction layer for apps and even across apps. Anecdotal example that just happened to me, I'm reading a PDF on my iPad with an app called PDF Expert. When I highlight text in PDF Expert, I'm able to see the highlight in the native PDF Reader on iPad OS, and also when I open the file in the Kindle app, I get prompted to pick up from my last read location (from PDF Expert). All of that is possible because I store and read the same file from an iCloud drive.
The ability to share state between apps and in a format that they can consume and mutate is they key here, so the user does not think about what software OS is actually running underneath, or even which application. The latter still needs more work to allow interoperability based on standards, the missing ingredient there is motivation not technology.
