The article quotes a “US Footballer” that the change was made to show solidarity with women in Iran fighting oppression.

I don’t think teams should modify flags or other features of identity, especially not to make a political statement.

It seems like an odd thing to do here. Despite that I agree with the sentiment, oppose theocracy in Iran, and support the people risking their lives to affect peaceful change.

I feel like it’s a slippery slope where every team is applying an AR layer for whatever they want to support- changing flags, putting horns on players, changing names, obscuring female skin, etc
The perceived "availability" that social networks nowadays show people about us is just annoying.

The pressure created to answer if you're online, or people knowing that you know something so you MUST answer them if they ask you is just painful
Singh was the chief engineer for a major exchange. It's his job to know better than this.

If the chief engineer for NASDAQ put in a backdoor to allow a market maker unlimited margin, would you assume they just figured it was legit because someone said so?

He knows how markets work too well for a defense like that.
Feelings are useful for figuring out what your goals are.

They can be money, they can be something more vague like recognition, or truly nebulous like "a sense of human connection," but you've got to have goals. Otherwise you're just a child stumbling in the dark and yelling out.

Reading the post, I don't know what the author's goals are, and I get the impression they don't either.

It sounds like they weren't sure about their goals to begin with, didn't do anything to achieve them, felt robbed because other people's goals were misaligned with theirs, before finally accepting they can't change the past, which

Duh.
That seems over-charitable to me. It's a very specific change and the article implies that it was intentional

>US footballer told CNN on Sunday that it wanted to change the official flag for 24 hours to show “support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights” but always planned to go back to the original flag.
I imagine not in this case!
Side note but I do not like that font Reuters uses, it feels like it is mixed case with the different sized characters even when it isn't mixed case. It's messaging me like comic sans.

Iran’s true flag is perfectly easy to see on Twitter, removing words from it is actually harder because people familiar with the flag will be confused.

I don’t think the editing was malicious, just stupid.
You can do through their app. But it is almost always broken. It took me months before I managed to get the app not to give me a 'temporary error'.
Some examples of hidden information that doesn't generally get disseminated in exchange orderbook APIs:

* Attribution: who's making the order?

* Short labelling... are they selling or shorting?

* Non-display or iceberg orders (not common in crypto?)

* Immediate-or-cancel orders... the executions hit the feed, but not the original order details. Also whiffs (order but no fill) don't get disseminated in any way.

* Certain order types that may rest on the exchanges order book but either don't have a specific price or display doesn't make sense... market orders, midpoint orders, pegged orders, auction order books (less common in crypto)

EDIT: On the attribution side -- they could also know the leverage any customer is taking and use that adversarially (which was the straw that broke their camel).
Absolutely hellish indeed. I had to write a parser for some kind of custom IATA PAXLST [0] (passenger list) that was coming from an ancient automated email system and I was dumbstruck by the weirdness of it all while reading the documentation.

So is a flag with Allah removed a widely used symbol of their fight against oppression?

I think a much stronger message could have been made if teams turned out wearing hijabs before the match, taken them off on the field and set fire to them. Probably would have upset the sponsors though.
I think one of the problems is reach.

Back then your free speech had limted reach, nowadays the reach is globally.
Well you can get a ham radio license, spend $1500 on a basic radio and antenna and accessories, erect it in your garden, get on air and feel the joy of open communications all over the globe.

Or more realistically get blasted by people on contests or doing DX, hear about numerous health problems and waltz into casual racism, homophobia and sexism. The last bastion is CW (morse) where it's too much effort to be an asshole.
I picked three because they had free EU data roaming before it was the law. Now it is not the law anymore it seems that they no longer provide it to new customers (or those that made the mistake to "upgrade"), but so far I have been grandfathered in. I'll switch the moment is no longer the case.

"Hours after he published his thread and after Gizmodo and other media organizations commented on his allegations, Sweeney published a new tweet saying it appeared Twitter had lifted its restrictions."

Is this even a story? "Anonymous Twitter employee", "alleges", account not "suspended" but rather allegedly given "limited visibility", then amazingly the restrictions are gone.
For comparison, the last five years money I have paid for a rent are nowhere near the cost of an apartment I’m living in. Both cancer and a lack of room to live in destroys your life.

Assuming free market, the cost of total cure will probably settle on at least 2-5x of an average life expectation times a treatment cost per year, minus some minor operational expenses.
XML is a data interchange format specification that allows extensibility.

RSS is a protocol specification on top of XML. Whether the underlying data interchange format is XML or JSON doesn't restrict extensibility. XML namespaces are designed explicitly around the idea that document schemas can be embedded and remixed.

Ultimately, the mode and points of extensibility is a function of the design of the protocol and not the data format.

ActivityPub wouldn't be more or less extensible had it been built on XML instead of JSON (you can make the case that it would be a less wire efficient implementation on XML).
Yes, and in the U.S., corporations are legally people (with outsized influence due to their sums of money).

Stronger morals, perhaps, but also redirecting the collective moral compass from favouring the individual to favouring the collective. Today, one can feasibly frame working for a megacorp for $$$ as morally just to provide one's own family with a comfortable, safe life. Morality focused on the individual.

Things like effective altruism seem to be an attempt at redirection, but they have their own problems. Until someone or something succeeds with redirection, having stronger morals will only make the problem worse.

True! But that still falls into what I said about true double negations usually having subtext that justifies their existence. Compare "I don't hate it".

I'd argue that in "I don't not like my hometown" not-liking acts almost as a compound verb, similar to "disliking" (which is just using a Latin prefix to say "not"). Resolving the double negative results in information loss because it omits the subtext (which in this case is the important part of the answer).

In other words, saying "I don't not like my hometown" makes sense because "I don't like my hometown" implies negative emotions (disliking) rather than an absence of positive emotions (liking). The difference could also be conveyed in emphasis ("I don't like my hometown") but this is more subtle and easier to misunderstand.
At least they did not put a fish symbol on it.

But whoever did this clearly have no clue about the inclusion of the Shadah on the flag - it is like erasing "In God We Trust" from the US dollar.
vue-marquee-slider is a simple and easy-to-use component for Vue that allows you to create customizable marquees with just a few lines of code. It is a great option if you are looking for a lightweight and easy-to-use marquee component that works out of the box with Vue 2.

> how LIGO changed the understanding of how heavier elements are usually formed, guessing it changed the expected neutron star prevalence?

It's not about the prevalence, but about the light curves observed during the event AT 2017gfo. They indicate significant heavy metal ejection but, what's interesting, also production.

Unnecessary tangent.
> How do you deal with this type of management? A lot of questions they ask simply boil down to this isn't important because XYZ... It seems as soon as you start explaining the reasons they just stop listening.

What's there to deal with? Don't go into detail that they don't care about. Instead talk about requirements, outcomes, and consequences. If they don't care about the "why", given them only the "what". I don't understand why you're posing this like it's a problem.

"Mens rea" is a requirement for certain crimes, but not all, you definitely can be criminally liable for doing something without intent. The trivial example is murder vs manslaughter, the latter does not require intent but obviously can be and is criminally prosecuted.

Furthermore, even in cases where mens rea is required, it gets satisfied if you intended to achieve the prohibited result even if you thought that the result was permitted. "Intent" is not about intent to break the law, it's about the intent to do the thing that happens to be illegal. In this case, it matters if you knew what the thing you're making was going to be used for (e.g. hide some stuff from auditors) but your knowledge or ignorance of the relevant laws and regulations doesn't matter at all - as another poster noted, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignorantia_juris_non_excusat .

At a first glance the content is disappointingly similar to TikTok.
Also, as I expected, with this type of content language is a non-issue.

Does anyone know if I can get the real Douyin? A search in the AppStore shows Kuaishou first and TikTok second.

Daring Fireball has ads in the RSS feed[1]. If RSS was more successful, we could imagine services, marketplaces for that model. Of course the same personalization you have on the web wouldn't be possible, but maybe in some ways it would be better, because you would know that everyone else sees the same ad, creating common ground[2].

It doesn't imply honesty. It does imply liability, so if something bad happens because you're dishonest, you will lose the title, and suffer other consequences.
Wondered who the "US footballer" is, but I guess that's what happens when the article goes through translation twice. Looking for the exact quote, it's uttered by U.S. Soccer media officer Michael Kammarman: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/us-soccer-briefly-r...
Oh I think it's the opposite.

I think they thought of him as the second coming of Jesus himself, and he felt he had to do extraordinary things to live up to that image (which of course is impossible).

I think he secretly hated it and that's why he trashed his own hypocrisy in some interviews, saying that the charity talks were all an act and not true.

And I also think that's a big part of his "I'm stupid / I fucked up" line of defense. Yes, he may think it helps his case (but is he actually that naïve?) But the main goal is to tell his parents "see, the genius you thought I was is actually a complete idiot, what do you make of that?!?"

I think he's happy to suffer if that makes his parents suffer more.

(Of course that's all speculation and pop' psychology and as such isn't worth the electrons it's typed in; but it's a possibility.)
We're still at O(N * W) time. It might be possible to implement xor using only +, - and bit shifts (though I'm not seeing any obvious way to do so), but count_ones stays a bottleneck; I'm pretty sure you can't do that in O(1) even on a word RAM machine.

Not to mention, a machine where addition takes O(1) time is a massive cheat - at least definitely not what most people have in mind when talking about computational complexity. AFAIK, O(...) usually means "on a classic RAM machine" unless otherwise stated. With hash maps/sets, it really depends on what is expected to grow. Bigger input size doesn't always mean bigger keys.
In some old computers, the OS was simple and on ROM and responded/loaded immediately. An upgrade just meant you swapped the ROM chip. HDDs and FDDs were then just for user data or application programs.

Normalized Systems theory: the next phase of software development?
What I’m struggling with is that what was done is not illegal in its self. It’s not necessarily suspicious in itself (from the perspective of a single dev working on tasks), unless you assume fraud. Of course we know fraud occurred so we can look back on it and have our perception of the request tainted.

If my boss came to me and said, “continue showing customer funds sent to our “sister” investment company in the staff dashboards” I wouldn’t find that suspicious. I would probably push back and say that might be confusing unless we separate out that amount and rename the total to something that denotes part of this value is with our sister company. But I would assume design incompetence and not fraud.

But then again if I was just one of a handful of devs that worked with the company I would probably find it suspicious, as I would confidently know that nowhere else in the codebase do we support a close integration with our sister investment company and should therefore know we shouldn’t treat them any differently.

Also the modification to exempt the investment company from risk rules does seem suspicious, unless again you believed there was an integration somewhere and believed investment risk mitigation rules were handled on the other platform or something.
Yes... but a painless and damn near zeroconf one. It's wireguard underneath.
"Not caring" is not where I was going with that. It's the lack of alignment with normal people that makes me think of "let them eat cake" — it's very easy to be blind to someone else's economic realities with a mere x2 change in income, let alone when you're so rich your debt is the bank's problem if you mess up.

That said, there also seems to have been a set of significant personality shifts in the last 12 months, starting with Twitter being "yeah, I can afford it *shrug*" and him not even doing due diligence (he used to be cautious and signal risk of e.g. rockets exploding), to trying to back out of the purchase and saying the bosses were defrauding advertisers, to saying the purchase is a perfect opportunity for an "everything app" and comedy was ok now, to complaining about the advertisers who started leaving right after he let anyone blue tick themselves and some jokers got a blue tick and names suspiciously close to advertisers and memed away in various high-profile brand damaging satirical retorts against them.

I don't know if that's a mid-life crisis, side effects of prescription medication, experimentation with nootropics, recreational drugs, or something else, but he doesn't seem stable right now.
I have found great option for me is grayscale mode in Windows and Linux. For Windows you need to enable Color Filters in settings, then you can use Win+Ctl+C to toggle this feature. This help for me when I tired within a days to see colorful but not interesting content. From this I way out to gray monochrome monitors world, thank you for feature I don't need to by real monochrome monitor for me. But often I make monitor zero bright, zero contrast for most text typing tasks. This really help every day. An last but not least, I use only warm color temperatures.
Wasn't the religious phrase a relatively recent addition to the dollar (1950s)? I saw a recent survey about whether people think it should be removed again. It strikes me as bizarre that money should feature religion when most religions have specific rules against money, but then I'm in the UK and we're largely a secular society.
If you've not heard about it, check out nostr protocol -- https://krisconstable.com/check-out-the-nostr-protocol/

"nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". "The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all."

Jack stumbled upon it yesterday and created an account, so there have been a flood of new users already in the last 16 hours.

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr

I recommend https://astral.ninja as a first time user as it's easy to generate a key pair, which you can then use as you try the many other clients.

This is a very new protocol, so the clients are still dev level and not production level, but development has been very rapid on this protocol.

One thing that stands out to me as a privacy advocate, is that unlike Twitter or Mastadon, the admins (relay operators in the case of nostr) can't read your DMs, so nostr is already ahead of both of these technologies in that regard.

This is a core design goal for Pax. https://www.pax-lang.org

Pax composites a layer of native text and form elements on top of a canvas drawing layer. This solves accessibility across platforms, as well SEO on the Web.

This approach also enables a lean runtime footprint (<100Kb, particularly useful when targeting Web) because the runtime doesn't need to reinvent text rendering, selection, input, etc.

Still early days — have made very little noise thus far; it's pre-alpha — but you can see what's cooking at https://docs.pax-lang.org/ and https://www.github.com/pax-lang/pax
There are a lot more armed conflicts throughout the world that are proxies or partial proxies between the various powers in the world (US, Russia, and more). See Yemen, Syria, and many more throughout Africa. World powers tend to get on one side or another as they see their interests align and oftentimes this prolongs the conflict rather than bring it to any resolution.

Most american buildings talk about R10 to R15, and occasionally you might get up to R20 if you build it well. Verticals of balloon framing are usually ~R5.

New buildings in England need to have walls of R32 as an absolute legal minimum (and more for ceilings and floors). And England has pretty mild weather compared to much of the USA.

The tautological answer is that it's because we the people have made laws that in certain specific situations make people criminally responsible for how the product of their labor is being used.

The practical answer is that it's because we do want to discourage criminals from "splitting liability" by having most of a gang doing some illegal goal together stay "clean" and only delegating a single "fall guy" for the final touch; so criminal law is explicitly written to consider everyone who knowingly assists a crime to be partly liable as well.
