Here's the thing: people adapt. We hear about various unthinkable horrors in Russia or the USSR, and think that people lived in fear 24/7. No, people still lived their lives, went to schools, got married, had children, worked, got paid, went shopping, went on vacations, etc. Various things were different, for example long shopping lines, or the constant fear of informers. But you learned to keep your tongue, stop thinking about frivolous things such as "inalienable rights", mutter the right incantations, and life was livable.

I know this because I was born in the Eastern Block.

Life offered lots of little moments of joy, such as going to math contests and getting awards (for me as a kid).

Just think of the times of Covid. In January 2020 we could not fathom the idea of being trapped at home for months, and then it happened just like that. Life went on.

The same with Communism. It's horrible, but (most) people adapt and keep living their lives.
> Does Debian not have a vibrant PPA community to fill the gaps like Ubuntu?

Yeah, it does: the Ubuntu PPA community. (See https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA, and similar.)
I've played 3000+ games of competitive Halo Infinite over the last year while climbing to top 1% and only had 1-5 games with noticeable cheating. It's nowhere near "ubiquitous and rampant". In the singular game with blatant aimbotters, it was actually a really close and exciting game because while their aim was perfect, their strategy and game sense was atrocious. So with good communication and coordination on our side, we were able to outsmart them and win.
One part is compliance, it leaves a paper trail, if you're a really high performer you could pretty much ignore them. They're not going to fire you if the form is not filled, but if you're not, they become justification for termination.

In any case, the important part for me is to make sure that when you have your yearly or quarterly conversation there are no surprises. If there are, communication broke at some point earlier on and you and your manager should work on fixing it.
Right, that's why I'm really surprised they aren't doing something like that. Especially because they presumably have some amount of idle compute at Azure that could be used to work on this when it's not needed for something else.

I don't agree on the Blizzard stuff but in this instance I agree with what the US government is doing. Adobe is a stronger hold on the design tools market than any other company and Figma was good competition
I use AdBlock+, never had a reason to switch.
I like the e-mail service, especially for newsletters, but the UX is also a little weird the other way around: I ended up disabling the feature by accident, because I didn't know it was tied to the privacy extension which I otherwise didn't feel I needed.

As a former Opera user, I'm all about feature bundling, but it's a little unintuitive what you get, especially when you're using a different search engine than DDG. :)

One issue I have with The Button is that tends to compete for space with other password manager buttons, but I don't know what the ideal solution is.

Phone numbers have geographic structure. For mobile phones it's just the area code, but for landlines there is also information in the exchange portion. For example, I grew up in Medford MA which is 781-39x-xxxx.

I expect there are also patterns in other countries?
Because officially you still have to talk to every person in a neighborhood and get them to care enough to fill out the form or to let you do it on their behalf. That’s not a technical problem.

Still, I think it would get them a hilarious amount of bad press to fine someone for submitting true statements about broadband availability at houses they don’t live in, so I say go for it.
That'd cost shareholders potential revenue. There's no chance of any action that isn't prying it from the hands of those in charge of the company's bottom line

Politics is just decision making in groups of people. Similar analyses can be used whether you're talking about government, schools, your workplace, open-source projects, your household, etc.

As a general rule I tend to always interpret these discussions as "how humans interact with each other" unless the discussion itself is about the law.
>Someone else’s cool AI project doesn't make your project less valuable.
Superconductivity in TBG was originally sold as "unconventional". This article reaffirms that claim by showing how it cannot be a BCS superconductor, and more. Very interesting.

It's worth reiterating that while graphene can have some niche uses in "the real world", the main reason that it is so highly prized within academia is that it is a superb platform for studying fundamental physics, as in this work. Maybe in the future this will lead to room-temperature superconductors or something along those lines. Maybe not. Nobody jokes about how the Higgs boson has failed to leave the lab.
It still wouldn't work. People will complain that either they are not properly checking people are who they say they are or they will say it is too difficult to get an id and it will disenfranchise the poor/minorities.
> Furthermore, Bishops are not franchisees. While the Pope does exercise a kind of special authority over the Bishops, they are largely independent, especially so financially.

For all the pomp surrounding the pope, like most apostolic churches the bishops in their individual capacities hold most of the control and power. And while in theory the pope can depose bishops, in practice it can very difficult unless there's a consensus or at least acquiescence among other bishops. Upsetting too many bishops for too long is how you get schisms, and the whole point of the church as an institution is to avoid schisms. Outright deposing bishops is very rare (thus the molestation controversies); usually what happens is a bishop is enticed into taking a titular see, or strong-armed into retiring.

The Roman Church has seen a lot of political consolidation over the millennia, but you can't get too far away from traditional episcopal authority without contradicting scripture (or developing a radically different interpretive model, as some more modern churches have done). Most non-Catholics, and many Catholics, see the church as a monolith, but the pope has de facto and de jure limitations to his authority, and that's before you even get into the complexity of civil law in all the jurisdictions around the world. As you point out, most property and assets are generally held under local civil law by individual dioceses, parishes, monasteries, schools, etc, with the local bishop in turn having direct or indirect control of those organizations, ecclesiastically if not civilly. It follows that an archbishop doesn't control any of this, either, unless it's organized under his regular bishopric. I believe the same is true of the pope--anything he controls directly (like Pontifical Universities) is incorporated as part of his territorial jurisdiction as bishop of Rome--but I'm not a canon law scholar and at this point the general rule might succumb to nuance and exception. Monastic orders can also be exceptional--they developed in parallel to the regular church and I believe abbots and even abbesses often hold some powers independent of episcopal authority, presumably sometimes including control over property and other assets.

In apostolic Christianity there's a strong tradition of practicing obedience, however. Obedience to civil authority, ecclesiastical authority, etc; of individual parishioners to the clergy, of the clergy to the bishop, of the bishops to the patriarch, etc. It's couched in terms of practicing humility. All the politics and back-stabbing notwithstanding, that tradition does operate to grease the wheels in terms of compliance with papal commands, but the pope has to stay in his lane, so to speak.

From a game theoretic perspective it's all incredibly fascinating, whether you're religious or not ;)
Interesting. Romans built roads, killed a whole bunch of people in the name of the empire and had no problem with slavery. And yet, sufficient amount of time have passed to allow for a detached look to what they did and how it was accomplished. Were Romans so much better than Nazis or just so far back in the past that their relative badness does not register?
It would help your point if you stated what your business area is. Upvoted your post anyway.
I understood that washing eggs also removes a protective skin from the eggs that would otherwise stop bacteria from passing the shell.
Maybe it's a chicken and egg problem then.
> Could just be that QI is too big an issue to pick up over a case as marginal as this one.

A citizen suing police officers for a custodial arrest without due cause in retaliation for exercising Constitutionally-protected liberty is not a minor QI case, it is a major one; a minor QI case is something like the case that actually gave us QI, a prospective government contractor suing government officials in their personal capacity for abuse of discretion in dealing with the contract resulting in someone else winning the contract. (Pretty much all the QI cases that make the news these days are major cases, that is, ones involving law enforcement agents (often with the support, tacit or explicit, of their agency) using force, arrest, etc. against civilians, without legally sufficient cause, and often on the basis of race, gender identity, religion, or protected speech.

The allegations here are, on their face (though I’m not sure exactly what cause of action they were litigated under), a civil violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act as well as a criminal violation of Civil Rights Act of 1968. Honestly, I think the entire problem with QI would go away if it was clearly stated that charges under the “color of law” provision of the Ku Klux Klan Act, 42 USC Sec. 1983, were categorically outside of the scope of QI, and a sizable share of civil actions where that is an issue would themselves go away if the federal government enforced the criminal provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, 18 USC Sec. 241, more thoroughly.)
But you will still be subjected to Debian crazy rules regarding applied patch sets.

Nowadays you can get a full featured, well integrated and properly working user land on Linux with next to zero customisation with systemd and Gnome. I really recommend using a distribution which stays as close to vanilla as possible.

Isn't peer review supposed to catch stuff like this? I mean, that's supposedly the "gold standard" for studies, right?
I've asked you three times what your talking about. I've looked myself. You still can't manage to tell me. So I guess I will never know...
Criticising the police is unlikely to get you in jail. Theoretically he was arrested for impersonating the police, which is a crime. It's just that when it's a clear parody, then it's not illegal. That is a bit nuanced, though. And you can see how some officer may get that wrong. By the way, now that this has been tried, it's extremely unlikely you will be arrested or investigating for creating a parody page in Facebook. At this point, they would lose in court if sued for wrongly arresting someone that did this exact same thing.

Anyway, if you do things that are in the boundaries of the law, you shouldn't be surprised if you get arrested.

"How FDA Failures Contributed to the Opioid Crisis"
https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/how-fda-failure...

1. Failure to Properly Enforce Marketing Regulations

2. Failure to Obtain Evidence of Long-term Safety and Effectiveness

3. Failure to Manage Conflicts of Interest

Special mention:

> A former senior U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration official who spent three decades at the DEA, specializing in preventing the diversion of prescription drugs like OxyContin, is now paid to advise one of the largest opioid manufacturers in the country, Purdue Pharma
I don't mean to sound like a grump. I was taught this back in highschool in my 2010 psychology class.

How is this different from the long standing understanding we already had that blue light inhibits melatonin?

This isn't some groundbreaking new development. Blue light therapy has been around for over a decade to help people correct their circadian rhythms.

It's why the Kindle claims that it shines a warm light across the screen rather than directly at you. It's why mobile phones have begun to incorporate a night mode that can warm the backlight on the screen from a blue white light to warmer oranges.

Did the extension always say that? Including people who didn’t install it this week?

Is it at all possible that this is a feature they added and hasn’t been there (and advertised) from the very beginning?
Simply, the Twitter algorithm is designed to require you to put in 10x the content to get seen. Since Twitter controls which tweets get seen, they naturally steer them to the tweets that cause users to stick around. On Mastodon, there is no algorithm; your feed is the tweets of the accounts you followed, period. (Okay, there are plenty of other options but they all appear to be non-algorithmic.)

So the folks who post 100 times a day are probably getting less, but your average person who posts once a day or month is probably getting more. Infinity more, because Twitter simply does not show tweets from average users at all.
Those who are a bit tech minded – consider adding DNS filtering on your home network (using pi-hole or something else). It has drastically changed my web experience for the better, including across iPhone apps, smart TVs and other surfaces where ad blockers can't help.
35k per year doesn't cover the difference when I can live in a "lcol" city and buy a house for 400k that's probable 2M+ in the Bay. Mostly talking about people interested in raising a family in a home and not renters.

Practically speaking, you might actually sorta get away with it by using a single if-check, as long as you go with the aria-label approach instead of the <h#> sibling node search.

My logic is that it is very unlikely that another website will copy over the exact html layout of Google News, so the <h#> is only going to work there. But I bet that Google News is far from the only website that has the article title text inside the aria-label prop in the <a> tag.

So you can cover a heavy majority of websites you care about (if not all of them) by just checking both the inner text and (in case the inner text is absent) the aria-label prop. No need for any custom logic implemented just for Google News, as it would likely solve this issue for a lot of other sources.
Hey thanks for Magic Lasso. I've had it installed for years. Only after starting my app library from fresh did I realize how much I missed it (and it took me quite a while to figure out and remember that it was magiclasso doing the heavy lifting - easy to install and forget!)
Sure, if you find Gnome to your tastes. I can (just barely) live with systemd, but I am very allergic to Gnome.

Family sharing would help a lot with AirTags, sadly they don't support it. I have one on my dog, and warns my wife each time they go for a walk, since it's paired with my iCloud account.

It looks like it should be a relatively simple software fix but somebody made a dumb call early on in design.
This depends: Do you care about details, or not? If not, a hand wave in the direction of "everything's the same" will suffice and the discussion's over.

OTOH, if you think there are good, detailed reasons why XFCE is not KDE is not Gnome is not LXDE, then you can probably see why standards are helpful, insofar as they can be designed to be reachable without compromising unique leverage points.
> KDE Plasma 6 releases to wait out until the it becomes more stable.

IIRC KDE committed to never break users again like they did with the first releases of KDE 4. It's expect the first releases of Plasma 6 that the distros will actually ship to be stable, and to be mostly a Qt5 → Qt 6 upgrade. You should be able to run a stable version of Plasma (5 or 6) in any case during this period. KDE 3 to 4 was a disaster; last versions of KDE 4 were rock solid. First versions of Plasma 5 were a bit lacking but rapidly became very stable and usable, and you could actually keep using KDE 4 in the meantime. I expect the Plasma 6 transition to be even smoother. I hope I'm not wrong.

But otherwise I agree, Cinnamon seems very good and I tend to recommend it and pick it for people who I install Linux for.
That's making a huge assumption on someone else's part, which is a funny thing to do given the comment you responded to. Oh well.

> The “that amendment only restricts what the government can do” excuse comes up a lot when companies censor speech that they don’t like, and it is pretty funny to see it applied to some of the lesser–known amendments.

It's not funny at all, it's shockingly ignorant, actually, if anyone thinks what you posted.

Additionally if I recall correctly, Ubuntu is one of the few distros that's set up to handle secure boot correctly out of the box (with the other I know to do this being Fedora).

This is nice if you're dual booting Windows 11. It's also probably going to increase the Ubuntu's representation in desktop Linux by virtue of booting without any EFI setup tinkering, because a lot of people's patience ends exactly where things cease to work as expected.
I wanted to do this but never figured out where I could get access to the data. I think with setting up the inputs correctly to handle 0-5 heroes chosen per team it could work. Once you have a model you just need to rank remaining heroes by the expected win probability if they are included with the team. If you have a way to get data I would be interested.

I also use it like this. I got into it for the sandboxing, although I know there are a "few" lurking issues on this point. But, some of the sandboxing definitely works, and were I a flatpak engineer I'd want to see some indication of traction to justify working towards goals of completion, and no other project with any packaging base I can think of is anywhere close, so, I use it.

In fact...I think I have all the software packages you have, except Obsidian, but also, Signal, Anki, and Element.

I did consider using it to deploy and update a CLI on (multiple) Linux(es), but found that the design of common shells make that kind of thing uncomfortable, as you need to teach them about autocompletion and the user also has to muck with getting the utility into $PATH. Normal-style packages simply have the privileges to muck with /etc and /usr/bin and that's the end of that, but it is somewhat unsatisfying that this is almost necessarily the case.
More than a red herring, the multicast could be valuable because it obscures who's actually listening. Everyone on the network is receiving these packets so there's no way to single anyone out. Seems like a great move for spy software, 100% plausible deniability. (but I really doubt that's happening here)
The usage of "foster dad" and "his child" to me implies that the child was not a foster child. However, foster homes are typically (completely depends on local laws) held to a fairly high bar for safety, so an allegation of neglect against a child (adopted or biological) will be fully investigated.

On the other hand, if it's anything like where I am, then foster parents are at least used to allegations. My wife and I had at least one abuse allegation per year filed against us when we were foster parents. It was somewhat disconcerting the first time. The fifth time, when the social worker showed up it was more "Hi Zoë, how's it going? What's the allegation this time?"
I think the key thing is for the AI company to actually let the user know that this is a language model, and the information it spits out should not be trusted. Obviously, Microsoft is not going to do that as they are trying to market the new bing as a information search engine.
The problem happens further up the funnel than the actual law. The usual pattern is something like: parent gets reported by local busybody, gets investigated and/or arrested, everything is dismissed after a couple of weeks but in the meantime their life has been massively disrupted. Changing the law doesn't necessarily fix that because what the parent was doing was never illegal in the first place.
It can also be inside the egg: "Salmonella also can contaminate the egg’s contents while it is forming inside the chicken before shells are formed. Today, a lot fewer egg-laying hens have this problem than during the 1980s and 1990s, so eggs are safer. But some eggs are still contaminated with Salmonella."
