Massachusetts state police posted a photo on twitter from inside one of the emergency management command post whatever facilities.

In the background was a projector screen showing a web browser and in the toolbar was at least one link to a facebook group for one of the occupy movements.

Of course, no visible bookmarks to any of the state's numerous white supremacist or far right groups.

Those polo-shirt-and-khaki wearing clowns? From numerous accounts by witnesses, reporters, and photos on twitter they received what amounted to a police escort from the public transit station where they all parked, all the way into the city...and then from the transit station to their protest site. And then back again.

See: FBI report from a decade or two ago citing the huge problem with white supremacist groups infiltrating law enforcement.
I'm not sure why you needed to quantify autocratic. From what I have seen of democratic leaders, scientific warnings tend to enter their decision-making only when convenient.

To be perfectly pedantic, this should only be confusing if referring to the Mastadon employees. Otherwise, if referring to the non-person entity, singular or plural appropriate syntax would be “it”.

I agree; the haters have politically-motivated brainworms. The actual user experience is a lot better now than when Dorsey was in charge, especially if you live outside of North America.
No Toyota Tacoma…probably the most popular truck in many US states. No Ram trucks. No Subaru WRX, nor BRZ. Really neat concept, but I wish it had more US vehicles.
The Soviets did not spend massively on their military just because of paranoia about the West. They spent a fortune maintaining an empire.

It's not any more "cheap Chinese product" than anywhere else. CoolerMaster keyboard is made where it's made whether one buys from Amazon or Best Buy.

Personally I get stuff from Amazon almost daily because I don't want to go to, e.g., Walgreens to buy toothpaste and dishwasher detergent. For a large number of items, there is no benefit to inspecting the item prior to purchase. Going to store for such items would be a waste of time.

Moreover, I can buy the thing immediately ftom my phone. No need to set up going to buy x as some chore in the future.

The problem with plastics (polymers, really) is that if even 1% off collected polymer of type A (say PE) is off type B (say ABS), then their melt wont mix.

If the mix doesn't melt you get spinal decomposition, as microstructure that looks like lamella. It is very weak compared to plastic A or B. Therefore you cannot simply melt plastic back together unless you have an almost 100% pure feedstock.

But melting things together is the easiest and cost effective way to recycle anything really. Metals aren't as finicky and they are relatively easy ways to separate them in a dumb fashion (big old electromagnet).

With plastics you can just break down and make (relatively bad) feedstock or burn it for energy (actually a good solution).

Burning plastic, however, has the risk of burning chlorinated or fluoridated plastic and that really sucks.

Polymers are amazing, but they also suck.
The closest available metric is probably the BEA's PCPI[1], which is $42,315 for WV. So about 30% more, but I think a more fair metric would probably adjust for differences in social entitlements and welfare.

(Per capita for both also doesn't tell us much about distributions, or even sheer numbers: the two states that have lower HDIs than the least developed region of NZ have nearly as many people as all of NZ.)

Why Germany's coal mine struggle matters to all of us
you emailed me yesterday about a full-time frontend position, but made no mention of salary ranges. I'm not looking for a job right now, but if i were I'd want to know that up front so i could decide if it was worth my time. just a tip if you're trying to poach folks.
And it seems to be decomposing in front of us. I asked my Amazon device to play the Beatles from Spotify. The response was “I could not find a band called the Beatles”.

Of course, when I dropped the “from Spotify”, there was an app that only played the Beatles. With ads.

Oh good, abused via an API. /s

Over the last 24 months, I have seen some weird increasing rate of vulnerable API endpoints in my own research. One of which would allow a bad actor direct access to over $2BB in funds (from a major organization worth more than $10BB), another plain-text credit card numbers and billing addresses (same application as the first); another were more plain-text credit card numbers (much smaller org, but still sizable). Both attacks were alarmingly non-trivial and would be scored as critical.

Why this trend is seemingly increasing, I don't know.
"If this anecdote is false then the effect is simply to tell ourselves something flattering - that even the poorest of the poor Americans in the Great Depression were prosperous compared to people in the USSR. Delusional thinking is not healthy."

You're assuming that after someone hears that anecdote they form or change a view. I also pointed out it matters what you do with the view.

People in the US being better off compared to the USSR is subjective and could be true even if this information isn't true. So it may not matter.

", you absolutely should not take the NYT at its word."

It's not "trust or not trust", it's a probability combined with what the information is being used for.

If I see that it's going to be 75f outside I'm not going to double check that because the probability they are wrong is extremely low and the negative effects are minimal.

Since every person, business, whatever has lied at least once using that as a bar makes no sense.
Of course the attention economy is threatened by the Fediverse
It's also a very old method. In fact, he/she is a later evolution of the English language. "He/his" used to be more equivalent to "it/its". It wasn't until ~15th century that the modern "he/him" and "she/her" fully evolved. "They/them" meanwhile was in full use by the 14th century
> The point of war is to kill soldiers.

Not really. The point is to impose your will on the enemy, so to persuade him to give up. Killing soldiers is a means to an end.
> Perhaps this is just my autism speaking, but am I the only one who gets completely freaked out by sentences like the above?

Hi, fellow autist here.

Yes, it feels like my brain hits some speedbumps with that particular pronoun. I wouldn't say I get "freaked out" though; it's just unfamiliar yet.

Despite what other comments claim, I doubt this is agrammatical. "It" is part of the same grammatical class (the class of pronouns!!) and so fits anywhere "he" or "she" does.

> "It" refers to inanimate objects, things which can't have free will

Could you bring yourself to see the choice of "it/its" pronouns exactly as a self-identification with things that feel no agency of their own? I don't know why Maia claims those pronouns, but I'd get this motivation for sure.
Do the majority of MacBook Air users or customers need them?

Though it feels wasteful (making assumptions about the use-cases) I’m guessing grade school kids need them for the same reasons or non-reasons as mostly everyone else.

That these are coming from a PTO fundraiser and not a tax-funded budget makes it okay in my book (setting aside the reality that other kids might attend schools with much less productive PTOs —a problem I think for a public system).
Almost none. If you aren't sorting the plastic by type (the number in the package) it probably won't get done and will be routed to a landfill (or river) in Asia.

Big corporate consumers of plastic can recycle because they guarantee that its all one type of plastic (say a fisherman's nylon net). So recycled plastic does exist. But mostly of it isn't.
The Process of Making Artistic Manhole Covers in Japan
I deal with hundreds of these types of selectors from some inherited code. When a disable changes 2 lines of code to wrap functionality in an if block v adding many scattered if blocks to accommodate the enable case, I'll probably go with the low code solution. If I can easily accommodate enables then sure but it's just not always that easy.
Based on what you found, "possibly happened" seems charitable.
OP didn’t say they were required. Maybe they are just beneficial. They are light, have a great battery life, connect without many issues to the sum of humanity’s explicit knowledge, etc.

The key point in context being negotiate. Drama on TV goes to confrontation for an asymmetric outcome ("winning") when real live goes to BATNA and "win-win" more often. (I am hopelessly naieve!)
Yeah, I was at Chirp in 2010 and they couldn’t have been more explicit that they didn’t want people working on third party clients, which made for a weird atmosphere at a developer conference.

> This screening of “The Grapes of Wrath” in the Soviet Union, however, did not land the way that Stalin anticipated. Rather than stir up anti-capitalist emotions, the Soviets that viewed “The Road to Wrath”, as it was titled in the U.S.S.R, were in complete awe that even the poorest of the poor in the United States were able to save their money and afford an automobile.

This reminds me of the time a Soviet president visited an American supermarket and was amazed by the variety of foods available.

> [Boris] Yeltsin, then 58, "roamed the aisles of Randall's [grocery store] nodding his head in amazement," wrote Asin. He told his fellow Russians in his entourage that if their people, who often must wait in line for most goods, saw the conditions of U.S. supermarkets, "there would be a revolution."

> In the Chronicle photos, you can see him marveling at the produce section, the fresh fish market, and the checkout counter. He looked especially excited about frozen pudding pops. "Even the Politburo doesn't have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev," he said. When he was told through his interpreter that there were thousands of items in the store for sale he didn't believe it. He had even thought that the store was staged, a show for him. Little did he know there countless stores just like it all over the country, some with even more things than the Randall's he visited.

I wrote another response earlier, but found myself ranting ;)

ChatGPT is currently best at things programmers would think about. You’re correct about spatial reasoning. But try stuff like this:

“Write a python program that calculates the static forces on a cantilevered ledge 15 feet long, with a support beam”

Haha it took the longest I’ve ever seen. You may have a point. It’s really good at writing code though.

Caution. I tried my example with matlab instead of python, and I think I may have set a server rack on fire ;)
I have participated in so many online debates where someone attempted to show overwhelming support for their position by citing multiple articles writing up the same dubious study, or, worse, citing sources that don't even address or outright directly contradict their claims.
> Again, read the paper. Numbers were thought to be an intuitive concept - they are not, not even amongst humans.

Your link doesn't prove anything, it contains testimony from experts arguing both sides. Odd that you think one side is automatically correct from one study that was inconclusive and a clear example of an exception to the rule, at best.

> Basically look to any example, where what is discovered is not a recombination of preexisting knowledge but the emergence of new knowledge and you'll find search is pointless

I think you'll find it much harder to argue this point than you think. Most such discoveries result from simple observations of the world, so the information was already out there, people just didn't notice it before.

> Now I challenge you to, even in wildly hand-wavey fashion, to describe the creation of a turing machine that could, from the basis of knowledge of an individual of such times, "discover" the secret of hand washing

Exactly the way it happened: someone noticed that fewer people died in hospitals where the doctors washed their hands after performing autopsies. The scientific process is reliable because it's mechanistic, repeatable. All scientific knowledge derives from simple, repeatable observations like this.

The closest thing you'll find to true invention is maybe math and various logics. But even then, this is often simply a process of permuting existing axioms, and adding a new randomly generated axiom to see if anything interesting haopens. This is a search process, most of whose results will be internally inconsistent and so get discarded quickly by the human mind with it's effective pattern matching.
And they were born in 1999. We are dealing with a unique mind here.
Cory Doctorow recently coined 'enshittification':

>When switching costs are high, services can be changed in ways that you dislike without losing your business. The higher the switching costs, the more a company can abuse you, because it knows that as bad as they’ve made things for you, you’d have to endure worse if you left.

He wrote it in the context of Twitter/Facebook, but it fits for other 'closed' ecosystems like the Apple ecosystem.

Ah well, I can dream, I guess :)

Every now and then, I ponder putting some of my scripts together into something I could actually hand over to someone else, but have not yet had the time.
> Whether or not a film was banned in the USSR because it showed citizens had cars doesn't really matter except in discussions like this. Meaning, what's the loss if it's not true? Not much. What's the value of deception here? The USSR is gone.

Well, a cartoonish and inaccurate depiction of it could lead people to erroneous conclusions about things in the contemporary world too. I see a lot of analysis of world affairs that seems to start from the assumption that the leaders of many states are sadists or lunatics with no goal beyond doing evil for the sake of it, which I think leads to silly conclusions most of the time.
It's not inherently bad. It measures what it measures. It's just a terrible measure of prosperity.

Genuine question, how many big leaks have Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc experienced? If even companies paying top tier rates cannot manage the problem, I am unsure what recourse there is.
Part of the problem is caused by regulation.

For example, financial companies are required to get reams of highly sensitive data to do KYC checks. The thing is, most companies would greatly prefer NOT to have to access and store this data, but they are legally required to. As a data point, when Stripe came out with their Stripe Identity product, many were surprised that, unlike their credit card processing where a merchant never gets to see any card data, with Stripe Identity the full image of highly sensitive data like drivers' licenses and passports are available to the Stripe clients. But the reason for this is that KYC rules require this data to be available to financial institutions. See top comment on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27502993 and Patrick Collison's response.

IMO the only way this problem will ever be solvable is with some sort of broad-based tokenization solution. It's just impossible for most large companies to keep this data secure forever.
Cool I am up to 22 years of free credit monitoring, maybe I can make it 25
I think you're confused. The main person in the OP is crimew. The Daily Dot article talks about her in the first few paragraphs but towards the end they talk about a different security researcher that came across the same-ish list from a different source

> I got this somewhere on the internet:

While revenue was up 1.9% year over year, the company’s profit for Q4 came in well bellow Netflix’s own projection of 36 cents per share. The streamer attributed that to “a $462 million non-cash unrealized loss from the F/X remeasurement on our Euro denominated debt as a result of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar vs. the Euro during Q4 ’22.”

So investors probably aren't attributing the earnings miss to anything NFLX did wrong. They just got FX-d. Happens sometimes especially lately with currencies all over the charts.
Non-binary people tend to prefer the they/their pronoun too.
I quite like the sausage. Hope you enjoy it.
Indeed, the de-editorializing of the title made the interpretation more ambiguous. I'd actually prefer the real title ("how to completely own an airline...") or a more clear adjustment ("how to hack an airline...").
How else could you look up your unclaimed property without this information? I don't see a better alternative.

I would (naively) assume that if the government is confident that your address is correct and up to date, they would inform you of said property à la USPS instead of posting it online for all to see.
Are you asking why they need a Mac or why they need a laptop?
yeah thats part of what the mpc60 felt good to me about, you could get a ton of dynamics with a very light touch.
> Yeah but what's the likelihood that an order like that by Stalin would be documented so explicitly if at all?

That's what makes it look suspicious when stated as fact. I could imagine it being in someone's memoir, though, but the anecdote wasn't attributed to a person.

It's straightforward anti-trust - currently Twitter-the-company is bundling Twitter-the-client-software with Twitter-the-service, using the market position of the latter to maintain the market position of the former.
Also because one of the best ways to become part of the zeitgeist is to force people to have time to talk about it, anticipate it, and generally stretch things out. You don't get the Lost/GOT/etc cultural phenomena nearly as strongly if you release them all at once.
To save people time: this has absolutely nothing to do with Markdown. The parallels drawn to Markdown are utter nonsense, specious and disingenuous.

What it is is a language for executable mathematics, using Unicode characters heavily so that the source form looks generally much more similar to customary writing styles than the likes of TeX’s ASCII-based $…$ syntax, but which for most people is completely impossible to type in a general-purpose text editor—thereby pairing something mildly similar in concept to Markdown (though not novel to Markdown) with the absolute antithesis of Markdown (which is firmly designed for ease of entry). (Yes, it has ASCII alternatives, see https://github.com/iheartla/iheartla/wiki/Keywords-And-Speci..., but is clearly aiming for you to use the Unicode.)

(I make no comment about I Heart LA beyond this. I am only criticising the mention of Markdown, nothing else.)
