Wow! And Serato is still my preferred DVS. In many ways I think it carries on the spirit of Be, in that it does what it does extremely well and extremely reliably. In my 15-some-odd years of messing/performing with it, it's only crashed on me once for a reason that I couldn't attribute to something else. (and luckily that was during a practice session)

Sadly, now I use it to drive a Pioneer XDJ console. And they made me pay extra for DVS support without the Serato box :( But it's a pretty fly 4-deck system!
> See Gosplan

I’ve seen a lot of Gosplan computer center. We were borrowing “untouched” versions of software for Soviet bloc-produced IBM-compatible mainframes there. At the exit there was a KGB post, they were checking for a permission for every single bit of paper that was being carried out. But we were not carrying paper, we were carrying magnetic tapes, and our contact at GVC (“the main computing center of”) Gosplan was too lazy to go get a permission for them. So I tucked a magnetic tape behind my belt and buttoned up my coat. Not a single time I was stopped. GVC Gosplan had a full detailed data on the Soviet economy and I could have potentially carried any secret data away.

But we were not carrying any secret data, we were carrying OS/360 21.8 and later on - VM/370 (do not remember the exact version for that, sorry).

So, while Gosplan was planning and financing the production and distribution of the “adapted for socialism” version of OS/360 (re)named ОС ЕС - their own computing center (and everyone else who could have got it) were using the original OS/360. I wonder if any mathematical model can handle such a situation properly.
Oof that sucks. It's like you got screwed because you got screwed.
And if the truth was actually "vaccines are probably not a worthwhile risk for a young adult without comorbidities?" Would that change your analysis? Or did you just feel the need to prove your COVID orthodoxy?
> people are confusing OS data collection permissions with app data collection permissions

Is that a meaningful distinction? "Oh, yes, we _do_ collect data from you, but have no fear, it's from the OS, not from an app!"

Either way, data is collected.

Engineering types often prefer to think in hard rules…either an approach is absolutely better or absolutely worse.

Saying medium-size services are best means that the engineer needs to use their judgment to determine where that threshold is. It becomes more of an art than a science, which many engineers are deeply-uncomfortable with, so they stick to their dogmas.

Add a middle layer between your bank and paypal.

Once you sync your bank account, Paypal can claw funds from your account for any reason it deems necessary.

Do not give them this access into your business's main operating account. Bite the bullet and open a separate, standalone DDA with another bank (not the same bank, that won't achieve its intended effect).
>I would be very, very surprised if the random guy using just a browser, no matter how many tabs were open, found a way to exhaust 8GB of RAM

LOL, that hilarious! I am an unashamed tab hoarder using Firefox, and regularly go over 24Gb just for Firefox.

I find it will still run but won't scroll smoothly or switch between tabs instantly when I go over ~150 windows (each with at least 20-40 tabs).

Yes, I have a problem. No, I don't care.

I can search tabs by typing "% keyword" in the URL bar.

Anyone who is getting 404:

1. The article is only available in AMP version so you will need to disable your AMP redirection tool temporarily if you want to read it.

2. If you are using a privacy-friendly browser, AMP redirection could be done by the browser itself, rather than by an extension. Look at your browser's settings.

3. The archive.org link posted elsewhere in this thread was also being affected by my AMP redirection tool, so I was being redirected to a 404 page on archive.org itself. This is also fixed by temporarily disabling AMP redirects.

4. AMP sucks, so don't forget to re-enable AMP redirects as soon as you're done reading ;-)

Agree with this take. As I said elsewhere - It's true that US production enabled the allies to win the war but that it's a mistake to think that the country with more economic resources will inevitably win.

> American view that the Soviets were useless and won just because of large numbers, General Winter and of course American help.

I think even harder to swallow is that Soviet technology was at least equal to US weapons. Their tanks are well known as being great, but their fighter planes were (especially the Yak-3, Yak-9 and La-7) were at least as good as comparable US and British planes.

Attaching that quote to that study, without the appropriate context, is disinformation.

The study didn't look at the risk of COVID infection in unvaccinated individuals. All this study proved is that COVID infection can trigger cardiovascular issues in vaccinated people. It doesn't indicate in any way that the cardiovascular issues were caused by COVID instead of the vaccine. You'd have to look at infected-but-not-vaccinated patients to have even a hope of answering that question.

Of course, the study was essentially designed to elicit that disinformative quote, so I guess that means you're not entirely to blame...?
Even if entirely objective in the presentation of "just the facts", merely through the act of curation (what is noteworthy enough to appear in the paper), we make memory selective, and therefore biased.

Why bother with half-measures? They should just make a short list of people to allow and get everyone else killed.
Good or bad, it does mean a general increase is "unique" behaviors which are taken for reasons besides "its good".

Diversity is important, but it has the drawback that compatability suffers. Monoculture is no better, but the tendency to dismiss what others find unique is a recognition of the general (biological) strategy, to conserve some status quo to build community.

General advice, don't have strong feelings about what others like - if they enjoy similar things fine if not their opinions are not worth much in the first place. At the same time, don't be afraid to enjoy what you like or find your tastes change over time, it's natural and not necessarily wrong.

How is Musk trying to 'reform' it when since he's owned it Twitter has had worse performance than ever, degraded features due to his bull-headed decisions and is literally burning money because he's chasing advertisers?

And the only one that started a public argument was Musk by making an incorrect claim and defacto blaming the engineers for something he clearly doesn't understand. He's trying to pull another Paypal and it's blowing up in his face now like it did then.
um, yes? Home building construction crews are not the ones making doors, or windows, or tubs/faucets/etc. They buy them as parts to be assembled into a whole. What did you think that the crews are pouring glass on site into windows, or firing up ceramic glazing ovens to cure the toilets and sinks?

Government incentives helped them get to their current level of profitability. Not just in the US either: in Norway, for instance, there's a huge environmental tax on gas-burning cars, but EVs are exempt since they don't burn fossil fuel, so Teslas end up being quite cheap by comparison and are therefore very popular there.

You're being disingenuous by claiming carbon credits are the only form of government largesse or incentive.
> Presumably objects (since beer mugs are objects in the conventional sense), but then what are the arrows?

This is definitely one of the most unintuitive parts of early category theory. The "objects" are not automatically the things you're studying; often they're best modeled as the arrows. It took me a really long time to internalize that.

Put it this way: the arrows are the actually interesting things, from a categorical perspective. The objects literally only exist to tell you which arrows you can fit together. The objects don't contain any other information. We often say that sets are objects, or topological spaces are objects, but that's only because we're studying functions or homeomorphisms, and if we want to chain those together, we need to make sure that one ends where the other begins or else the composition isn't well-defined.

No, we don't expect everything to be modeled directly as a category. That's not how the abstraction pays for itself.

Gold at least is shiny, dense and virtually indestructible, and we humans naturally value things that draw our attention like that. Gold has also stood the test of time as something that most people appreciate when they see/touch it. It'll always be possible in any country to trade an ounce of gold (in any physical form) for /something/ well above $0. Can this guarantee be as easy to make with Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency of one's choosing?

For most normal (non-techy) people, what's the allure of Bitcoin once you remove all the marketing? Perhaps gold indeed still relies on the greater fool, but that fool on average is still less of a fool than the greater fool who has too much "invested" in cryptocurrency.

>I'd put my money on something new taking Twitter's place way before Mastodon.

Something new, like what? When there's a big user exodus from some kind of service or platform, there has to be something for them to flock to right then. When Digg imploded, Reddit was there to absorb the exodus. Right now, Mastodon is there, even if it has significant downsides. Users aren't just going to wait around for something ideal to be built for them.

Yeah, I remember ~2000 or so it seemed like a lot of non-techie people were creating their own personal site on Geocities/Angelfire/etc. In high schools lots of teenagers (again, including non-techie folk) had their own web pages.

What was nice is that more thought went into it, since it was basically a blank canvas. There also was a focus on quality over quantity - your website was something you continually grew and improved. Modern content is something you churn out and forget about immediately after.

But as easier options became available, those sites disappeared. First blogs came along, which were more structured. And modern social media is even more structured as well. We went from a single blank canvas you could spend hours tinkering with to a coloring book page you're given for sixty seconds before it gets thrown away and you're given the next one.
If preview is possible, $30 bucks would definitely worth a try (though it's not a very competitive price in the market). But if not, even $5 sounds too much.

$30 is a small amount if we're supporting an open source project but when this comes to be a business...

And the people that funded the "anthropology" research of the nazis were... Americans.

The "Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics" (KWIA for short) was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. Without that funding, it would have closed during the Great Depression.

The eugenics programs of the nazis were inspired by American eugenics programs. The segregationism of the nazis was inspired by Jim Crow. Concentration camps were inspired by Indian reservations. And the list goes on and on.

And among all this shit you have "The blood of the nation, a study of the decay of races through the survival of the unfit" by David Starr Jordan, founding president of Stanford University: https://archive.org/details/bloodofnationstu00jorduoft

What do you think that happened after that book was published? was he criticized? No, the guy was honored by multiple universities in the US.

IBM and other American companies also had their part in facilitating the atrocities of WW2.

America was in many ways a disgusting place in the early 20th century. Especially California, where most of the eugenicists came from, and where at least 20,000 forced sterilizations took place between 1909 and 1979. That's right, fucking 1979.

Thanks so much! I so appreciate it!

Much of the inspiration for the style of challenge actually was drawn from Zachtronics! I also used to play CTFs frequently and handle the cryptography category, so that was a big push for why I wanted to try making this.

The original idea came from talking about whether we could make a puzzle around an OISC (one-instruction set computer) architecture, and after playing with it my cofounder came up with these instructions. I implemented the debugger and wrote out solutions, and amazingly it both worked _and_ presented a healthy challenge.
I would be tempted to throw things at the devs just to see what their response is like.
Why bother killing anyone? We're only talking about email here. The tech oligopoly can do whatever they want here, and no one can do anything about it. Well, they could, technically, but they're not going to: we've seen over and over that users will always choose the most convenient choice, not the one in their best long-term interests. We've also seen that governments will do little to nothing to counteract this oligopoly when it abuses its power or becomes monopolistic.

Presumably Sequoia wouldn't have done it if they weren't getting anything out of it. Is it too crazy to assume that they agreed to invest ~200M, in return for ~200M back and a percent of some token or stream? Both they and SBF would know a 200M investment would attract serious attention and retail buyers but both would need the other to make the headline.

I don't want to sound too conspiratorial but seems odd they would bother to do a transaction for this while lending their name unless they were getting something back.

There is definitely a element to high energy music which appeals to younger crowds. Same reason clubs tend to turn music up to levels capable of causing hearing damage.

I even exploited this fact as a way of staying awake a couple times while taking long road trips, as a stand in for caffeine.
