They're wearing Carhartt (an unusual choice for a metropolis like NYC), reading Dostoyevski and gathering to "listen to the wind." I will say most teens are like this and I certainly was myself, but I hope they are careful not to cultivate their own "artisan" brand of snobbishness (as I also did as a young punk).

Also, does the NYT Style section have a reputation of elevating some tiny little clique into a "trend" that goes nowhere because it's not a real trend, just a clique that got written about?

I'd love for something like this to be an actual trend (sans the snobbish performance), but I'm skeptical this anything at all.
The document dump contains evidence of government agents telling Twitter to "look into" things and Twitter responding that they "handled" it.

Government thugs don't need to give explicit orders to have their wishes followed, especially if the thugs in question make it sound like they share your ideological goals.

The government working with Twitter to create broad misinformation policies and then issuing requests for takedowns under those policies once adopted is a great way for the government to violate the first amendment with plausible deniability. I guess we’ll see what the courts think.

JXL has the feature set that is better than any other solution.

Joe doesn’t constantly talk about himself, let’s guests talk, is curious about everything, open to non-mainstream ideas. That gets you pretty far. Lex is similar but with a stronger niche in tech, and ML in particular.
For small projects, sure. But it breaks down in larger ones, ask me how I know. The reality is React and other tools solve problems at scale, plus they're genuinely nice to develop in, while vanilla JS simply is not.
Appreciate the verge link. The post link doesn’t really bring new info to the conversation until the trial.

It doesn’t seem like there are good answers on how to resolve this issue sadly. I wish there was more transparency on how much these social media giants are spending on this issue, how much is removed per year and average time the content was accessible. It’s hard to judge on the outside the size and scope of this problem and the resources being thrown at it. And that doesn’t even get into the psychological issues that this has to do for the reviewers. This is truly some of the darkest stuff that humanity has and scale makes it hard to resolve.
This is very regional, and it's hit and miss with regards to talent - on both sides of the camera.

I used it a lot when I lived in Scotland, but after moving to Finland the site has nobody local at all which was a real disappointment.

It has to be said that as I was leaving the UK there was a sharp rise in the number of fake profiles, and people trying to take deposits in advance, which seemed like the start of a downward spiral, but I guess I never knew for sure how that turned out.

That's a fair response, makes sense. Thanks.
Renewables don’t really oppose fossil fuels. Not to the same extent that nuclear does anyway. Nuclear can 100% replace all fossil fuels as a drop in. Renewables on their own can’t and need significant battery capacity as well to even out the load. Additionally, there are industrial use cases that need high temperature (like 300+ degrees C if my memory is correct). Nuclear power plants can generate this no problem because it’s a massive furnace already. Coal too. Solar and wind cannot.

I strongly believe who think renewables can replace all carbon energy sources are not realistic about what is needed and don’t appreciate the nuance and just think of it as “energy source” rather than as part of a complete energy production / distribution problem.

This seems to be correct - it appears to be the "a model is not that which it models" argument, which is Searle's only response to the Simulation Reply to his Chinese Room - but a model of a thing can have properties of that thing (a model boat can float, create a wake etc.), and an informational process can be modeled by another. Are minds informational processes instantiated by brains? It is plausible, and the model argument does not rule it out.
I agree with you 100%, my point was that being surprised at the capability of humans to be cruel, lack empathy, and destroy is itself a sort of lack of empathy and understanding - traits that ultimately lead to the first three traits I described

That's fair criticism, and I appreciate your sharing it. I'm not always mindful that tone doesn't carry well by text, and I could have done a better job approaching this.
Well sure. When you effectively ban nuclear through regulatory hurdles, why is it a surprise that you don’t builds any and why is that a conclusion you can draw about the efficacy of nuclear itself? Somehow China is building out quite a bit of nuclear capacity while the west is sitting around dithering.

There's probably a large overhead in storage used. It would probably result in much larger overall storage than 37GB. And I agree preprocessing would be painful.

But I'm curious on how lookup speeds would compare to the author's 1ms.

I'm also curious on how addition of a new hash would compare against adding a new hash to the single sorted file used by the author.

Leveraging any database is probably better in any case :)

I mean, Twitter was so accomodating of warrantless government requests that they built a friggin portal for government agents to submit them. Does that not set off any alarm bells?
Xen 4.17 Is Released
Need to understand a few more details here. First as world human population is aging, mortality is expected to rise regardless of new diseases. Second, some frail individuals may have lived a couple of years longer if not for COVID-19, but how many would have lived 10 years longer? We may see a temporary dip in mortality going forward if most deaths were only hastened by relatively short time. Finally, how many of the deaths were from various aspects of response to virus rather than the virus itself - crime, suicide, missed doctor appointments etc?
They reported users/posts for review. Happens on my forum all the time from all sorts of users (public, lawyers, etc). Up to the publisher to make their call from that point. In one case I bothered reading in this set, they mentioned that legal docs would follow if they were seeking to identify and pursue an author (pre-action discovery).

It didn’t seem that the FBI were going into detail on any cases. I wondered if some were likely to be considered concerted foreign interference that they’d unearthed and policing that was within their remit. I assume there’s some overlap between Twitter’s ToS re misinformation and the FBI’s assessment, if that makes sense.
> As an independent it looks to me, the FBI trod dangerously close to censorship (as in the Government censoring speech unwanted by the gov).

That's possible, but only a judge will be able to determine that and possibly your ideas about censorship do not line up with the views of that judge. The questions is who will bring suit?
I mean, since it’s a purchase that people make that’s designed to recoup an upfront cost over 5-15 years, it seems like making a dramatic pricing change that retroactively screws over everyone who had previously installed solar would be a great way to ensure that people are extremely cautious when they install solar.

This at least gives new purchasers some degree of confidence that they’ll be able to rely on the present pricing when costing out an install.
It's incredible that this isn't the official recommended way to use slack in a large organization. It shouldn't even ask to issue notifications if there will be a ridiculous frequency of them. Organizations will eventually not purchase a service if that service destroys productivity.
His goal is artificial general intelligence, something that seemed to grab his attention after he was already actively working on VR. My guess is that when he started teaching himself machine learning, he realized that he needed to focus all his attention on it if he was going to take it seriously. Facebook's failings just accelerated this for him.
I’m renting a house with three bathrooms. Two of the three toilets, on separate occasions, spontaneously cracked and leaked water. Both happened between 5am and 6am-ish. I was awake for one and heard it, and woke up shortly after the other one happened and found my kitchen flooded. The cracks in the two toilet water tanks were identical. Given the comments about the water temp and lobby temps, I’m guessing that hour and temperature changes could be linked.

I was able to get the owner of the house to see the wisdom of replacing the third toilet water tank.

I mean, if they can compile the latest version of sshd to run on SCO OSr5, that's great! If they can't because it's no longer compatible or whatever, are you saying they may as well stay with telnet? Obviously, not using legacy software is best, but it's not like people can just snap their fingers. Software needs to be ported, people need to be trained, etc. Work and time is needed. In the meantime, using sshd seems like an easy upgrade.

On "ancient", the ciphers and kex algos used by the OSr5 sshd above were deprecated like 4 years ago. I'd like to think that among the select group of probably-not-technical people that have access, it's not exactly the same bar of technical ability to inspect the contents of a plaintext connection as that to inspect the contents of an encrypted connection that uses ciphers and kex algos deprecated a few years ago.
How? The same as you would if the farmer providing retail-ready carrots didn't exist.

In California's case the grid generation capacity was made up of nuclear (fixed base load), natural gas for dynamic load, and solar/other renewables (wind, hydro etc), and import/export.

If you look at the grid operator stats on https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html#sectio... - I find it interesting to compare days like May 10th (where solar + base load lead to exporting) vs something like Sept 1st (where solar + gas + imports was barely enough) vs today (Dec 16th, where sun is limited and we rely on natural gas + imports to fill the gap).

PG&E probably loses money on days like May 1st where a large portion of their power is acquired at retail, but makes a killing on the other two example days by selling wholesale generated/imported power at our jacked up rates.

IMHO They want to make a killing on the plentiful springtime solar surplus too. Now that they've got everything they asked for don't expect that this will reduce rates for non-solar customers - it'll go to investors.

I still think a tune-up of NEM2.0 would have been better. Other places seem to get by just fine with an 80%-90% buy-back rate vs NEM2.0's 100%.

Modern Transformers are amazing. Way better than in the '80s.

You have to buy the collector-targeted stuff, though. The current line is called Legacy. If you are willing to pay, the Masterpiece line is also excellent, and there are fantastic third-party transformers as well: these have lots of metal, ratcheting joints, complex transformations, and usually cost over $100, up to $300. I will plug https://tfsource.com/

Avoid the kiddie-oriented lines (Cyberverse) and the mass-market lines (usually co-marketed with the most recent movie).
It seems like it. But I’m no legal scholar.

Would love to see how something like this would fare in a Supreme Court case.
Then I'm sure it'll be easy for you to produce examples. Until then, this discussion is worthless.
Andrew Ng's online courses are great to get your feet wet. You use Octave/Matlab to implement the basics of many machine learning models from scratch, and build yourself up to using python to design several popular deep learning models including convolutional and transformers. It's not required, but a good idea to understand at least the basics of linear algebra and calculus.
I disagree with the premise that the US has been threatening to take down social media companies, so I didn't feel it was worth responding to.

Also, the guidelines ask you not to write comments like that.
> of course sometimes things like Chernobyl happen

Chernobyl is an older design than plants we builds today. if I recall correctly Chinese plants include a lot of passive safety features especially in the wake of Fukushima (gen III / gen III+). Fukushima by the way, despite repeatedly ignoring warnings of the risks of not being prepared for realistic tsunamis and earthquakes it might experience, survived relatively well all things considered. If I recall correctly they used a mildly updated design than Chernobyl.

It’ll be interesting to start seeing gen IV reactors coming online since they have an identical safety profile to fusion. If anything goes wrong the reaction stops rather than the runaway reactions common to traditional reactor designs that are basically fission bombs hooked up to a steam engine.

California should never have bailed out PG&E. They should have been forced into liquidation and taken over by the state.
just start a new project and port each route over one by one. it doesnt take that long once you figured out the 4-5 api breaks you do have
No government entity should be involved in the slightest in policing media in order to "protect" elections. It's very subjective and extremely ripe for abuse.

The only reason election outcomes are so vulnerable to media manipulation is because the US political system is captured by cynical corporate interests that draw an arbitrary line unrelated to idealism across a set of issues to split voters almost perfectly at 50/50, then do everything in their power through corporate media to minimize third parties and use legal challenges to remove them from the ballot.

If viable candidates that actually served the interest of the public rather than the ruling class were given fair access to the process, then we wouldn't be so vulnerable to manipulation.

The FBI's role is to protect interests of the corporate elite in their backdoor dealings with various media outlets.
Fantasic work.

Thank you.
>They're standing up for decisions forced on them by their parents

That is quite literally the point of being a parent. They're children. They're not supposed to be raised by other children or by social media personalities they want to be like, but by you.

If that means having to be the bad and unfun parent who they get mad at because they can't get to do the thing everyone else is doing that's the job. Good parents give children values that last a lifetime even if the kid doesn't understand it or like it.

The chat bubble thing is a reference to a surprisingly widespread clash between kids with iphones and kids with android phones (https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-apples-imessage-is-winning-...)

Can this be used as a replacement for organice on Android?

The UI for this looks fantastic, which cannot be said for react based organice.

Ability to edit the org file in chrome on Android appears to be all that's missing.
The claim was not that VSCode is a better editor than vim or emacs, but rather that "VSCode is the greatest productivity tool in the history of software engineering". To me, the tool that matches that description is the one which most increases the productivity level for the most people. Emacs or Vim might be better at increasing the productivity of a single individual (super huge might here – I personally found VSCode improved my productivity much more than vim ever did), but once you multiply that out by the number of people impacted, I doubt there is much contest.
I’m reminded of someone I met at a party who actually worked for Sears. They’d spent many years at Amazon on the retail side of the business, in the earlier days of Amazon. Sears hired several people with this background in Seattle to turn their business around.

Pretty quickly, they figured out upper management had no interest in their ideas to make Sears into a viable online retailer. Everybody left or started coasting. They all knew the company was doomed but cashed their paychecks. After all, that’s literally what they were being paid to do.

Every model I have seen shows 80%-90% renewables with almost no storage. Where are you getting your estimates?

Fusion is not a realistic power source for decades, and there's no reason to think it will be cheaper than fission, or that it could ever be cheaper than massive amounts of storage.
A few years ago I joined an employer that doesn't have chat at all (a university, schools and government seem to be where you're most likely to find this) and after a few months I marveled over why I was getting so much done without working overtime and why I wasn't so exhausted when I got home.

I am healthier in every way (the visible change literally makes people's jaw drop), I have energy for a social life and side projects, and my work is higher quality than ever. I'm making a lot less than I could elsewhere but right now it's worth it.
I'm desperately looking for a hackable webcam that isn't a huge privacy risk

RPi is no good for that? If they are available.
The alternative to censoring "Americans, Vote today. Democrats you vote Wednesday 9th." and "If you're not wearing a mask, I'm not counting your vote." is a dead VP? I don’t see a connection.
Yeah, no, you don't need a DSLR. A point and shoot with a good sensor is more than enough. My Sony RX100 runs all day without issue and acts as a fantastic webcam via a cheap HDMI to USB adapter. Total cost used < $500.
Honestly, the best of both worlds would have been to have the simple kernel implementation and put the boilerplate recovery code in the system libraries. For instance, libc's write() should handle interruption resumption, and libc should also provide a write_interruptable() (okay, appropriately shortened for the symbol limits in early linkers) to expose the raw system call in the uncommon case that the programmer wants to manually handle interruptions.
Yeah, I also stopped reading at that point. It should have said "the square of the differences." My take is it probably saw "(x - a)^2" and put "difference" ahead of "square" simply because of the order of the operations.
It's not even just the cost of digging. The cost of the design and the cables is also way more expensive. The wires hung on poles aren't even insulated, while buried cable needs some pretty fancy cabling (lots of insulation, lots of armoring, etc)

> "Corporations are people" after all.

corporations aren't people, and I think you know this. "corporate personhood" means that a corporation has some (not all) of the rights held by individual people. it certainly does not mean that it makes sense to tax corporations as if they were humans that filed a W-2 each year.

what do you think would be solved by jacking up the corporate tax rate specifically? or put differently, whose pocket do you imagine this money comes out of?

the owners are already taxed on any income or capital gains they derive from ownership, employee pay is taxed on both sides, and retail customers pay sales tax. none of those taxes are necessarily optimal, but their impact is at least better understood than corporate tax.
Tomica is another choice.

> Barely no one buys newspaper anymore.

So.. everyone buys newspapers?

> A lot of masks are coming off.

The only mask that's come off is Musk's false commitment to free speech and good governance of Twitter. He's plainly not interested in either.

But it was always going to be this way. Musk is an authoritarian at heart. He simply can't help himself.
