MEPs are surprisingly accessible, because the public and journalists hardly ever bother with them. Journalists tend to focus on domestic political theatre rather than the boring details of actual policy.
Not to mention perversions of democracy like gerrymandering and the use of easily hackable electronic voting machines.
It can't exclude things merely because people (or the government) don't like to hear them. But it absolutely doesn't follow that it must therefore include everything someone could say. And it doesn't. The US knows many exceptions to Freedom of Speech.

> In the defamation case Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. (1974), the Supreme Court said that there is "no constitutional value in false statements of fact".

Somehow the "free speech absolutists" always show up when it's about the Holocaust, yet the comment sections of defamation trials are not littered with their opinions...
Gaining 4g of fat requires an intake of quite a bit more than 4g of food.
You might not know how to make a sophisticated ai for censorship, but looking at the code and infrastructure, you are likely to figure out where is the blackbox/political censorship is. And since it seems that Musk is going to get rid of most of censorship(or rebuild it in his favor) that's most likely what he's asked trusted engineers to look at.
i have a website. i host it in America. i do not check where my visitors are coming from and just comply with American law since this is where me and my server are.

am i "operating" in zimbabwe, or moldova, or fiji? no.

if twitter stops selling ads to EU entities, closes any offices, and hosts just outside the EU borders it does not have to comply. if for no other reason then the eu loses its power to enforce.

Yup. Using NetNewsWire.
My son is into mechanical watches but he's also into shooting a black powder muzzle loader. Before he got into that I thought you'd be crazy to shoot a gun without cartridges but I found it was pretty fun when I tried it out.
Twitter makes sassy teenagers of us all.
If software engineers end up automated away before truck drivers are, (not a completely harebrained concept given that one type of AI is doing better than expected and the other worse), it will put a hilarious spin on the "truckers should just learn to code" concept.
My initial reaction to new technology these days is skepticism. From the start, I'm looking for the catch, the 'gotcha' that will be my undoing.

I attribute this change from trust to skepticism to a changing of demographics on the internet. Back when I was more trusting, the internet was different.

Early internet felt more like idealist hobbyists sharing their creations with others The demographics now seem to be more representative of the population as a whole. There have always been more scammers in the world than dreamers/tinkerers, it's just that there was a window where that wasn't true of those sharing on the internet.

As the demographics changed, the average behavior did too. At least, that's how I rationalize it. I'm sure we'll have another golden age in another form in the future!
Well, I expected this article to be about bribes, because I assume it happens a lot. However, there were no bribes. Does anyone have actual experience with bribes in India (not traffic police)?

Edit: sorry, one person openly asked for a bribe, the Panchayat. I would like to understand more about this. Do they just ask for an amount?
as someone else said, it looks like rezoning and that might be hard in many other place.
For instance in France, you could be per-empted until late in the process by the SAFER, the entities managing agricultural land. They might buy it from the vendor at market price when you try to buy the land, and sell it for another price they see fit to a farmer of their choice.

Not as frustrating as what OP described. Still. Simple Administrative formality can fuck up your plan badly.

CF a fine piece of self reflection on our own adminstration. ( I love our admin, it's a fine piece of Napoleonic technology. But. yah. )

I suspect there are just too many real things it would actually break. Alarm clock websites, for instance, off the top of my head.
> not in any meaningful sense, no. I can tell you, "if something's fishy about the situation, just leave"

"Fishy" is doing a lot of work in this sentence. How much training went into refining an instinct for what's "fishy"? Do you not agree that everyone has a different view on what's fishy?

> I think if anyone knew how to build complex agents with rich internal states that have the intent and communication abilities of humans we'd do that.

I'm not so sure. There doesn't seem to be much commercial value in having an agent with intent and its own goals, and most AI advancements are for commercial entities these days.
Microsoft servers have been fueling DDoSes for months
Every new piece of paperwork that requires an additional face-to-face hand off or brings in a new entity provides another avenue for corruption to occur and a place for money to disappear.

I've had employees (in Brazil) who don't ever claim reimbursement on personal expenses because if their paycheck varies too much their bank freezes their funds (in the name of preventing money laundering) and then the employee has to go to the bank and bribe someone to get the funds unfrozen. Just showing the cause for the variation in payroll doesn't cut it. As the employee puts it, every requirement to show up in front of an official for anything requires a bribe.
You're thinking in the wrong axis.
Adobe Steals Your Color
I would like to point out that the deep marketing/priming is what drives you to the product to begin with. The ability to self-regulate our minds and inherently our decision processes is closer to the root of the issue. That requires a fundamental shift in our education which doesn't see any incentives on the horizon to reform itself as long as low attention mindless caffeine/sugar driven zombies are needed to buy all the stuff we are presented with. We already have a deep seated bias towards comfort in our mental architecture. It's quite easy to piggy back on that for marketers to condition our minds. For someone to constantly be aware of this before making a decision is a bit of a stretch especially in our GO culture. The incentives are simply not there yet, the churn of getting fat and losing weight is too profitable to go away. Just like oil derivatives and other friction profiting cycle products.
Do you mean training or trading as in stock trading?
Being too early is the same as being wrong.

My oculus sits unused because it’s bulky and heavy, the resolution needs to be much better, the games on it are mediocre, the chat is full of early adopters I want nothing to do with, and worst of all the headset is a headache inducing vestibular system disruptor that makes the entire experience an unpleasant chore.

How long should we be patient? A decade? The experience needs to be much better in so many different areas. This thing might as well just be paired with sex toys - it’s not good enough for widespread adoption and frequent use for anything else.
Not blocking certain users in a jurisdiction where these blocks are required by law is, by definition, illegal. Obviously, some countries have more power to enforce those things than others. Also obviously, the EU is among the front runners of power to be able to enforce those things. And I am fairly sure the US won't start a trade war over Twitter the way the EU and the US did over Airbus and Boeing.
I use a Raspberry Pi 4/8G as my maine (ha ha) development machine. I have a special case, which is that I mostly ssh into my websites hosted by digital ocean. I usually have several terminal sessions (+3), some local terminal sessions and firefox. I use the pi mainly because I can have two monitors at once.

I just installed ubuntu 22.10 desktop and it appears to work well. I use ubuntu mainely because it is what I run on my remote systems and as long as "it just works" locally then I don't have to deal with many differences between the systems.

The best thing I did was to have it boot from a cheap kingston 120GB ssd ($18 now). Makes a world of difference in speed.

My biggest complaint is that firefox is a little slow on the uptake, I am usually debugging some web interaction with developer tools and once the page is up it is as fast as I need.

I don't play games, I don't edit videos (haven't tried) or other things.

Key take-away: for development
Wellp, time to delink Twitter from the internet. I bet Liz Fong-Jones is placing the calls to upstream ISPs now.
> There’s a lot of issues with this post, which basically completely misunderstands what markdown is, what its purpose is, and why it’s successful.

Yeah, he didn't call the color effect fresnel. He called the reflections fresnel. You're right that the color effect is called iridescence.

Hot reload would still be an improvement on top of fast compile time, but yeah, the most important part is the compile/link part of the iteration.

Saving/reloading state could be done at the framework level, and it can't work in all cases (typically when memory layout is changed between iterations).

But I think that we collectively realized how slow compilers had become only recently (something like five years ago) because it was a slow boil frog situation.
The term for that is a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). No idea about libraries of BRDFs for common materials but considering how even games have moved to physically-based rendering there must be.

Having been a remote worker for close to a decade, I've tried a lot of approaches. The best one I've found has been classes. Sign up for classes at a community college. Or language classes. Or sculpting classes. Anything that sounds interesting.

The real goal is to make sure you get to talk to people multiple times. That's the way you build relationships. One off meetings rarely lead to anything.
My sense is that meta currently reflects the value in the market it should have. Generally markets expect during a down turn, slimming of staff, focusing on the core fundamentals, and improving net operations. Mark is doing the exact opposite. Continues to move away for core add business, no big firing drives, no efficiency improvements (or even announcements of said action), but retaining of staff(mostly), lots of the cash on hand going to new (unproven) profits. The announcements on firing people have been weak and don’t show up on the balance sheet because meta keep hiring for the new project.

Definitely Mark defies markets and people are pulling out. Estimate forecast revenues are used to determine future value in the short term. That 100 value are the people believing in the long potential and existing value.

If Mark is right and the browser is the past, and googles are the future (what does a future like that smell like? - unbox therapy) he could become even more wealthier, if he is wrong (most certainly he is, 3D tv didn’t make it) fb will continue to decline. Until the value is the core business minus ceo risk minus fun projects.
It's a rather typical look for industrial appliances. The article mentions MIL-STD-461 - US Army standard for electromagnetic compatibility, which may suggest intended use and type of customers.
"COULD" is a certainty, so quarantine measures are already in place. The question is, are the quarantine measures sufficient?

The answer to that is "we don't know". And the corollary, unfortunately, is "... but we can make a lot of political hay out of taking guesses."
Because Telegram complies with demands from law enforcement, despite what they want you to believe.
Reminds me of when I my dad had acquired two decommissioned hard drives that were used to store seafloor scans for the Halifax harbour and surrounding areas.

From my own poor recollection, their dimensions were about 2' x 3' x 1.5' - and obviously quite heavy.

They stored 1GB each.
If he wants to leave the European market he is free to do so, but unless he wants to provide Twitter without getting any revenue stream, closing physical offices is not enough.

As long as he wants to sell ads here, Twitter must comply with our rules and laws and can be cut off from it's (paying) customers otherwise.
I think they're saying that there's no secure language-level VM for Rust, compared to JS or, say, Lua.
For those who are not using Windows as the main daily driver: On Linux, you can just run the `lscpu` command, which reads info from the /proc/cpuinfo file, but there is a CPU-X[1] GUI app too. Free software gathers information on the CPU, motherboard and more. Similar to CPU-Z for Windows but works on Linux and FreeBSD. It isn't possible to trick /proc/cpuinfo on Linux, it always gave me the correct info.

The fresnel lens/effect is used in a number of places

- Those "invisibility shields" you see videos of

- In (vision) glasses, to correct for double vision (you can get prism in the glasses or, if the double vision is too much for that, a sticky "fresnel" lens that gets attached to the glass. I have one setting on my desk that I was using before my corrective surgery, actually... woo, tangents)
Maybe I should clarify glasses that people want to wear-- I mean like this https://www.newsanyway.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/trac-v...

It would need to last at least 4-5 hours and probably have a 5G modem. I don't see that happening any time soon. That's to say nothing of the software side.
Yes - we have those already. We call them banks.

They only agree to take on those roles when they have the tools available to offset the costs of doing that business.

In particular, they want to be able to do things like: Reverse transactions, correctly identify all parties, freeze accounts that are in dispute, fine users who abuse their services or mislead them.

So again - how are you avoiding trusting other people, exactly?
Actually, there are many good reasons to think it's close:

What if you no longer need meetings? Take accounting software for instance. This function will probably go from an entire team of accountants to one of the C-levels just triggering the right software at the right time as part of their normal duties.
Interesting scam^W money-making venture. "You want oil/this project? If you invest in our sand castle project, it would make us consider our business deal more favorably. Investing involves getting your logo on our website.". And so famous names or even governments might get attached to this project.

And they could get some money, tell some guys in hard hats to drive some tractors around the desert, wait a few months, "Oh, we ran into some difficulties/new economic reality, project cancelled. Your money? Hiring men to drive those tractors weren't cheap you know!" (Read: "The men were South Asian slaves but the construction company boss is driving a new Mercedes now, and hey, he's actually my cousin and we're going golfing tomorrow!")
Interesting approach, I use a very similar methodology in Marmot (https://github.com/maxpert/marmot) to do CDC for SQLite via triggers, and then these changes are published over NATS, replicated over to other nodes. So row-level replication powered by similar outbox except it uses NATS and JetStreams's quorum property to ensure reliable recovery.
He's young, and could benefit from a more serious theoretical framing. Ng's focus is on the theory of statistical ML, but there's a whole classical side to AI and statistical learning is a subset. That's where I would want to look for theory. Most recent advancements in StatML just come from classical systems engineering permutations of the plug-and-chug ANN (let's cascade them! let's use different algebraic relationships! let's use frequency domain!)

If you want a quiet computer without the HW configuration constrains of single board with no slots, I recommend older HP EliteDesk G2 (or newer) 35W SFF. You can get them for about the same price as RPi 4/8GB and they have the option of M.2 SSD and ram expansion. The fan is down to minimal RPM (imo not even audible) and it stays cool. I have been using these for my home servers for years. Just like you, I cannot stand the noise of fans and these are sitting directly behind me and are completely quiet.
Even with the slowest cpu options (i3), the performance is in multiples of Pi)

It's both a democracy and a republic. The terms are not mutually exclusive and an indirect democracy is still a democracy.

Edit: Also, it's not just a single system. At different levels the positions are directly elected.
Would you consider a Pi 400, the model with the C64-like keyboard? They still seem to be available, and seem ideal for the daily computer use-case. Though I guess the difference between 4GB & 8GB RAM is significant.

I think part of why it's popular is that it's a sexier implementation of HTML, and as a writer, I found it frustrating to hand in edits to editors (for news websites) in Word format. Being able to give people a plain text version of my article and have it translate anywhere was/is amazing, and it's much smoother to write "" or "*" than it is to put "<em>" or "<strong>".

I use Markdown a ton because it's easy to use converters to get that HTML code for blogs or have it built into plugins for Notepad++, Sublime or Atom.

I signed up, the idea sounds cool. However I wouldn't focus on _only_ outdoor sports. I have my phases where I'm really into being outdoors and then periods where I just want to hangout in a bar.

The site and the description here kind of seems to shame people who enjoy being in a bar, for example:

> or hang out with party-hard hostel crowd.

I'd recommend to focus on creating a community where remote workers can get in touch with each other and not too much on the activity they can or cannot do.

I hope around between two major EU cities and hanging out with other remote workers is definitely different. However I wouldn't want to ONLY go do an outdoor activity with people.
Yep. In a previous iteration of my file server I killed a WD green drive in about two years because I unwittingly left the head park feature on. It was parking after 8 seconds of inactivity, and in two years it had accumulated like 2.5 million parks.

This could still happen in the USA. The electors (the 538 people in the Electoral College who actually pick the president) could vote for anyone they wanted, and if enough wanted Weird Al then he would be POTUS. States have made laws to require electors to vote for the person who won the state election or face punishment, but that is not a Constitutional requirement or anything.
Well, not necessarily true. Your body is not composed of 100% fat. Actually it is composed mostly of water and when you gain 4g of mass most of this gain is from water, too.

I unfortunately can't tell you how efficient body is at digesting various types of foods including digesting pure fat.
Everything is. The balance between stay and remain within EU is not especially weighted towards remain in an increasing number of countries. The EU deciding to take any sort of a meaningful stance against free speech or free expression is, IMO, much more likely to push those still in the middle more towards leaving the EU than it is to push them towards remaining.

It's an irrelevant act on its own weight, but there always comes a straw that breaks the camel's back. Now is just such an absurdly horrible time to do something that might agitate.
I don't agree on the Dropbox part (bash script with rsync does the job for me) or the GIMP part (although I had some problems exporting as a proper PDF for professional printing tasks), but heavy creative work with audio/video would also drive me away from the RPi.
