What stake do you have in either of the debates that you're referencing? When was the last time a politician's family member or a trans person did anything good or bad for you, personally?

If you didn't allow social media to get you invested in these manufactured pseudo-political pseudo-events, you'd be free to realize that Trump and Biden are both obvious idiots and crooks; that people's gender identities, biochemical makeup, and surgical history are obviously completely irrelevant to complete strangers; and that many other things that you waste your time constructing your tribal identity around are obviously complete bullshit that someone artificially planted into the discourse for their own benefit. That someone couldn't care less about your best interests as a person, anon291.

The problem isn't that Twitter and Facebook censor one side of those debates and promote the other. The problem is that people are using them in the first place! That way, social media is the thing that forces those debates to exist in the first place - by making you feel like you have a stake in events that are completely remote from your life. Whose agenda is being promoted is tangential to the fact that these unelected, unaccountable corporate bodies have entrenched themselves in a position where they can basically replace our individual world-models with this sort of outrageous nonsense. That's what's fucking democracy up, and in the most elegant way, too: your right to make free choices between alternatives is preserved, but only inconsequential choices are ever presented.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog; on corporate social media, nobody cares that you aren't a dog.
I'm not left or right, but I see the hypocrisy of you cheering for the exact mistreatment you fought against a month ago. How's that about irony?
US culture doesn't trap people in minimum wage jobs their entire lives. Even fast food places have raises and promotions. Maybe you're being hyperbolic there? It does generally require people to work and try, which can appear impossible if they lack a working parent or other role model to help them believe they can do it. This is not something welfare solves though. It possibly makes it worse. Something like shop classes in schools (which used to exist) and apprenticeships would be a direct solution, because as we constantly hear, the jobs are there looking for people.
All of those places are very safe, more so than most of United States. I'd add my country, Poland to that. Street level crime is very rare.

The switch can use usb Ethernet adapters; you might need to look up which chipsets are supported, but it supports an 10/100 adapter I already had, seems like it supports some 1G adapters, but I have < 100M to the internet, so 10/100 is plenty.

> If memory serves right, violent crime in the US increased between 1970s to 1990s and has since decreased.

From 1960 to the mid 1990s crime rates in the US almost quadrupled. They’re now at about double what they were in 1960[1]. People adopted measures to avoid crime. They left urban areas, greatly increased security measures of all types, dropped the assumption that most people were generally trustworthy. Without those measures of adaptation things would not have improved. Those are costs and they’re ongoing. In the 1960s and 2020s the US had large scale urban riots and each time people learned the lesson that they couldn’t trust the government to protect them and their property from rioters. But if you live far from dense concentrations of people riots are very unlikely. Thus suburbanisation.

List of ie words sorted by commonness (*):

https://onelook.com/?w=*ie*&scwo=1&sswo=1&ssbp=1

Not sure I'd be in a rush to say "aye" was the default pronunciation. At best it may be marginally the single most common one.

(*) meaning the number of dictionaries the word is found in, not frequency of usage.
It should be possible to be even more prescriptive. E.g. write a "screenplay" (or even let GPT3 generate it) -- basically just a progression of tags -- and then pick random videos that match that.
You cannot cut and paste freely when indentation matter
> And ei is pronounced eeeee in English

No it's not. English spelling is irregular enough that I'm sure something is pronounced that way, but all the examples I can think of are either like "d(ay)" ("dei", "eight", "weigh", "veil"), like "b(e i)t" ("reiterate", "deity", "being", "weird", "deceit"), like "(I)" ("either", "neither", "height"), like "p(i)n" ("foreign", "sovereign"), or like "wh(e)re" ("their", "heir").

Edit: "stein"/"skein" maybe? I'm not sure if those should be like "st(ee)r" or "st(ai)n".

Edit: "seize", so there is in fact something that's pronounced that way.

> Because ie is pronounced aye in English

Neither is that: like "b(ee)": "wield", "thief", like "wh(y e)lk": "science", like "s(ee e)lk": "sapient", "salient", "orient", "sierra", "siesta". Actually, I can't think of any cases where "ie" is pronounced like "aye"(/"d(ay)"), either.

Absolutely fascinating reading. Whatever the origins and authority of 'Roman Emperor' Sponsian the analysis of gold coins minted in his name reads more like a detective novel than a scientific investigation. It would seem to me that this new investigation may spur on modern-day treasure hunters equipped with metal detectors to find more of these coins and determine the exact location where the earlier discovery was made. If 'matching' coins were found then we could finally put the provenance/authenticity issue to bed and allow for proper archeological investigation of the site.

That would open up a whole new avenue for archeologists and historians to investigate who exactly Sponsian was. Clearly, anyone with the power and authority—official or usurped—to be able to mint Roman coins in his image ought to be a part of historical record. The fact that Sponsian is missing from that record means that new investigations are needed.

Dirty cities aren’t a matter of people cleaning them so much as industrial processes and car fumes not dirtying them.

There’s also the different materials they use - everything in Tokyo is covered in concrete (not sure if that’s good or bad) but buildings also strangely tend to be covered in what I’d describe as bathroom tiles. I wondered about this, but realized it’s just so humid they’d be growing mold otherwise.

Also if you’re comparing to NYC, it’s just particularly dirty because everyone leaves their garbage on the street, since the government is incapable of organizing anything better.
Finland and South Korea are absolutely held as a model of civilized society. Very low crime rates, very clean and very orderly. Don't know about Czech but it's possible that being culturally homogeneous is a necessary but insufficient condition, after all I'm sure most of us can name some very homogenous countries that are an absolute nightmare to live in. That said, Dubai and Singapore are also very safe and orderly but they are very culturally diverse, so who knows...

Does anyone know what Australia is like? I hear good things about it, and it is very homogeneous.
For anyone interested, Koyaanisqatsi is on sale on iTunes for $5, and the bundle with Powaqqatsi is $10. Highly recommend for anyone who’s never seen it— it’s definitely an experience. Also if it ever goes to 4K, iTunes will upgrade it.

Wouldn't having multiple competing open source window managers be considered a good thing? I'm not sure what you mean by unified desktop experience as well, can you clarify specifically what that means to you? Do you mean like why don't all Linux desktop apps use GTK3 or Qt? Or why don't all Linux desktops use Gnome or KDE?

I do celebrate that Docker, Podman, Colima advance container solutions and increase exposure to Linux for server apps. My point being though is that if the point of Finch or Colima is to get a slight increase in performance in an already non-native VM experience then IMO the time would be better utilized either forcing Mac to implement native namespace and kernel-level support for containers or to adopt a native backed for containers. I can't tell you how many times I've seen developers implement poor practices coming from non-native development workstations because to them what does it matter if your container is a bit slower if they already are used to subpar performance and functionality.

Why use Rust for bioinformatics? Defining the problem space
Currently we have a CLI that demonstrates multi-device synchronization in principle. You can install it using `cargo install noosphere-cli` (it installs a binary called "orb"). We also have pre-built binaries of orb for x86_64 Linux that you can find on our releases on Github (e.g., https://github.com/subconsciousnetwork/noosphere/releases/ta...). We'll be expanding our pre-built binaries to include other platforms soon.

Also, we have recently released a Swift package that gives a path to easily install our project as a dependency in XCode. We're turning the corner on offering the same FFI backing implementation as a TypeScript + WASM package, too. But, as I mentioned it's early days for us, so set your expectations accordingly.

The best way to stay up to date with new things you can do is join our Discord. I make regular announcements there about our technical progress.

Equally a fault of the people as it is the urban environment which shapes them…

> You can drink alcohol outside but in the US people would just be drunks everywhere and trash the place. And they trash the place without drinking.

Maybe if 95%+ of Americans weren’t indoctrinated since WWII with the concept of “a single family home and white picket fence” as the American Dream (and anything else is to be thought of as less than), Americans would grow up with a sense of and respect for shared space and environment. Instead we usually look at anything that is not our home/backyard/frontyard as “not ours” and thus “not important”. We see this in the lack of flagship public plazas/squares that you can usually find in even small European/South American/Asian towns, but also the continued shrinking of funding for libraries, neighborhood parks, etc.

If there’s no public realm in the first place, it’s no wonder most who grow up have no concept or respect for it. It’s a vicious cycle, and one many Americans (regardless of political affiliation) will insist is the “only” way, and actively fight anything else, since it’s all many know.

The US is incredibly strong. That does not mean the dollar is in good shape. Too much strength for your currency of exchange / account is a bad thing. It is why crypto cannot be a currency even if the blockchain was rock solid tech. Nobody in their right mind will use a currency that is that volatile. You cannot price anything properly or run a business. Same with usd. Sure the guy above is exaggerating and he probably knows that, but dollar strength is a bad thing beyond a point. People in finance already understand this very well.
I'm not sure I fully believe the algorithms promoted right-wing content, although I do believe the algorithm promotes controversial content, which is one of the strategies on the right, as more of a cultural underdog trying to get visibility.

It's also self-evident, honestly, that the human moderators, which overviewed the decisions of the algorithm in Twitter 1.0 were predominantly left-leaning, with many LGBTQ+ members working as contractors, moderating from home.

The sad thing for me is the hypocrisy. Here is Elon coming and proclaiming himself a "free speech absolutist" and "comedy is now legal", and then start banning accounts in large swaths on a whim based on whatever right-wing $8 badge buyers tweet at him, including a whole group of apolitical comedy accounts.

This will shrink Twitter and turn it into Parler.

The right see the destruction of Twitter as a win, and it is a win, but quite a short term one. This network will rebuild itself elsewhere, and you won't have $44 billion ready every time for the next hostile takeover.

I see this as a huge missed opportunity to have a truly inclusive platform that welcomes everyone and takes no sides. I have no idea if Elon Musk lied about this intentionally or he was coached and tricked into it by his right-wing supporters, but he shot his investment in the foot.

There are lots of games available for the M1. The Mac Gaming Wiki has a pretty big (but not exhaustive) list of M1 compatible games: https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/M1_compatible_games_mas...

It’s clearly not every game, but it’s a lot of games (many gaming hours, if you look at it that way), especially when you consider there are many many games available that aren’t on that list and that some percentage of those other games are also supported.

Or are you conflating the concept of “interested in playing games” with the concept of “must play every brand new game”? I’m pretty sure there are plenty of people like me who are interested in gaming but feel no compulsion to play the newest hottest games that you need a top of the line graphics card just to be able to run. There are plenty of good and great games out there that don’t have such strict high requirements. Even when I had a “more suitable” computer, I didn’t feel the need to buy a super powerful graphics card just so I could play some games since there were so many good games that didn’t need that.

@utopcell do you have a reference for incremental FFT? I'm not sure if I understand what your implying.

Given a polynomial f(X), obtaining f's evaluations over the n-th roots of unity takes O(nlogn) using FFT. Are you stating that obtaining g(X) != f(X) evaluations over the n-th roots of unity should take O(n) time assuming some precomputation derived in the FFT for f?

Ignore all counterpoints and just accuse them all of not caring about x victim's predicament. Surely that will convince them.

> In particular, the complexity of the new assignment schemes like prefix delegation and SLAAC needs to be paired back.

Prefix delegation to customers is necessary if you want to avoid NAT. IPv4 stayed with delegating just one IP address to customer (household) because everyone used NAT in home routers due to IP address conservation.

SLAAC was introduced because people wanted a simpler alternative to more complex DHCP. That is why it is mandatory, while DHCP is optional.

> but at this point I think everyone has admitted that v6 is simply too difficult for most IT departments to implement.

I do not think that IPv6 is too difficult to implement, i rarely heard this argument. The main reason that there is no transition is that there is no economic nor political incentive to do so for individual organizations, so there is a coordination problem.

Coinsquare Data Incident
Just got this in my mailbox:

We are contacting you about a recent data incident and we recommend the below security measures. We note that your assets have always been, and remain, secure in cold storage and are not at risk.

What happened

On November 19th, Coinsquare observed unusual activity in our systems, which led us to suspend the platform temporarily in order to thoroughly investigate. We identified an intrusion and took immediate steps to block access points. We have now safely brought our platform back to full functionality.

As a result of this incident, we believe that a customer database with personal information was exposed and may have been accessed by a third party. This personal information is limited to: customer names, email addresses, residential addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, device IDs, public wallet addresses, transaction history, and account balances. No passwords were exposed. We have no evidence any of this information was viewed by the bad actor, but in an abundance of caution we wanted to make you aware.
No he did not. What he did was suggest that betting against FTX was equivalent to betting against the idea of electric lights or indoor plumbing
