The fact that the logo is ugly is not a problem in itself, honestly, who cares? The problem is that this makes it such a low hanging fruit; attracting a bunch of washed up hack designers looking to pad their resume with a logo, not realizing it's not about banging together something pretty in an afternoon, and in the meantime, wasting the resources of people doing actual work.
My favorite money has always been the guinea because it set the profit for middlemen. You would pay the auctioneer in guineas (21 shillings) and they would pay the seller of the item in pounds (20 shillings), giving the auctioneer a 4.75% commission.
I worked with sysadmins who used rpm based distros back then and their experience was basically mine: hunting down the right rpms that both satisfied the constraints and actually worked.
That's true, but that's why I read reviews of books I have no intention of ever reading. Conversely, GoodReads or Amazon are for books I might read someday.
There is space surveillance network tracks things in orbit. I don't think that covers all of the sky and could miss a rock.

There are early warning satellites that look down for ballistic missiles. I don't know if the infrared detectors would see the rock. They are probably best as negative signal with no rocket being detected.

The main signal that wasn't nuclear weapon would be the size and location. Nuclear weapons don't explode as high as Chelyabink meteor. Nuclear weapons aren't as big as Tunguska event. Also, hitting a city is unlikely, hitting one dead on is really unlikely. There would also no nuclear fallout detected.

>People don’t want a friend who occasionally becomes belligerent and spouts 4chan conspiracies.

You know those people exist in the real world, don't you? And it's not uncommon for folks to be friends with them because "he's actually a nice guy" or whatever else?
So a return to the fascism of the 30's would actually be an improvement compared to our current social order?
Exactly!

Psychedelics can give a taste of this with the experience of separation of self, where it feels like you're an observer behind the one way mirror watching a focus group deliberate on various topics.
> one in which the rules for macro systems and quantum systems are completely different and quantum systems collapse into a state consistent with the rules for macro systems when they interact with a macro system -- and one where there is only the one set of rules and no collapse

... and no clear relation with the states that we observe as it includes no rules defining macro systems?

Germ theory was also pretty new at the time and not something most working class people would know about, nor did Mary have symptoms.

Contrary to today, germ theory is taught in elementary schools and is well understood by basically everyone. And this woman was clearly experiencing symptoms bad enough to require an ER visit! Visiting the ER likely also means that most of the common religious reasons such as being a Christian Scientist are out the window.
Because that's what Apple has been doing for it's whole existence. Creating barriers to their devices outside of anything Apple. Honestly it's better to just not use Apple at all for these reasons.
They colluded to enrich themselves without end. Seeking monopoly rents and pushing infrastructure, social and environmental costs on to others to increase the margin.

My totally non-scientifi guess why ANC is uncomfortable is that it could be ear ”fatigue”. What you said about the imperfect noise counterwave is what I’m guessing is the source of fatigue in the ear, because even though your surroundings sound more quiet, the ear canal is getting blasted by soundwaves right next to it.

If I focus I can clearly feel my ears in ”active” mode when using ANC. A sort of soft pressure. I have a feeling ANC silence is not real silence.

Oh come on. Either your evil meter is out of whack or your bar for "pure evil" is hysterically low.
In this case they do not. These are research chemicals already in various stages of trials and are intended to help serious scientists conduct experiments. The promotion of potentially very damaging pharmaceutical level drugs is concerning.

I take plenty of supplements, including not particularly well known ones like Agmatine, NAC, etc. but research chemicals is a whole other level and has serious potential for lifelong issues. It shouldn't be promoted imho.
> Córdoba’s mosque-cathedral is an architectural expression of the complex, intricate history of Europe. And that, for some, is the problem. There has been a long campaign by the Catholic church to diminish the Islamic heritage of the building and to view it primarily as a Christian monument.

What the author, Kenan Malik, calls a "complex, intricate history" and glosses over, consists of Spain, conquered and colonized by Muslims for seven centuries, and used as a source of slaves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Spain#Slavery_in_Al...

Is it any wonder why the Spanish wouldn't want monuments on their soil to their former colonial masters and slavers?
And conversely -anything they don't approve of, we don't see.

I was assuming you were arguing for something like the copenhagen interpretation. It now sounds like you're not, but I don't understand what interpretation you're referring to where the wave function takes the shape of another wave function. Do you mean that there is one universal wave function, but the "collapse" is one where the universal wave function discontinuously changes to reflect a probability distribution where (say) a particle's position has much less uncertainty? What is this interpretation called?

Anyways, that's still an additional mechanism.

> MWI still has wave function collapse, the "we observe random part of the universe" part is the wave function collapse, that remains unexplained, why do we only see a random subset? You can't explain that.

That's not wave function collapse. The wave function just keeps evolving as normal.

I don't know enough about this to explain how the MWI maps on to our subjective experiences, I could probably find some links but I'm sure you're as good at that as I am. I'm not arguing that MWI is a better interpretation here, just that it has fewer mechanisms.
> one political segment of the population has in being forever offended by everything

Which segment is that?
This is my biggest reservation against using (any) noise cancelling headphones.

IIUC, they work by emitting the same frequency sound, a bit delayed, which cancels the sound in the targeted place - but doubles its amplitude in vicinity, because this is how waves work (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

I can't imagine being blasted with a loud sound in the vicinity of our hearing organs is very healthy. Instead, I just use those big headphones that cover my ears and dampen surrounding sounds somewhat. They're not stylish though.
Betting on social media as a news destination for the young
One way or another, they can detect "duplicate" accounts I'm guessing, so my fear is that because my Facebook account has been banned, so will the "Meta" account as soon as they realize it's the same owner.
I don't really think it matters what the research team wants or doesn't want. That is totally insignificant to what the decisions makers want and implement into the facebook product.

What you helped work for was to build a giant spy tool for corporate and government actors. Your own friends, neighbors, and even family surely have some kind of shadow profile on facebook, sleazily tied to other services, packaged, and sold on equally sleazy and opaque data markets.

Personally, I would support the government just shutting down facebook altogether, by force if necessary. They have lost all trust with me, and any benefit to society has easily been drowned by their numerous public failures, up to and including genocide.

Like, once your company is involved in genocide, that should be it. Game over.
AirPods may contribute to it, but we did just go through a few years of excessive emotional stress, a virus known to do all sorts of strange stuff, and used our wearable devices much more often.

Don’t just blame the AirPods in other words.

> Apple, a China laggard, has finally decided to pull the string and move itself and all its related supply chain out of China.

Apple got shaken down by the Chinese government right before Covid. If they didn't finally pull the plug after that, I would have to question whether anybody was awake at the helm.

You’re takin this far too personally to have any sort of productive discussion but here it goes against my better judgement.

Saying that marriage is not as important to society has no bearing on what value marriage should mean to you. I also never said that marriage is bad, or not for me. I’m married myself, but like I said, i saw it as a vow of love not a societal contract, unlike your statements that were all matters of societal contract that are neither solved by marriage but are also provided for by common law partnerships.

You inferred something because you took things too personally and saw things in the argument that weren’t there because you clearly took it as a personal attack.

In fact, your marriage is largely irrelevant to the discussion altogether since it’s purely anecdotal and doesn’t expand to the entirety of the human population, let alone the population of a single country like the USA where 1/5 of first time wed couples end in divorce, and who knows what percent of the remaining 4/5 include forced marriage or abuse.

Like I said, I’m married and I don’t think marriage is bad. But I’m also not so arrogant or narcissistic to extend my own life choices and extrapolate them to being integral to society.

I’m also not so narcissistic as to ascribe the success of marriage to the value of the people in the marriage. People change with time. Circumstances change. Marriage shouldn’t be a chain holding people together for eternity to the detriment of each person.

Also to be clear, I’m not saying you’re being a narcissist, though I do think your world view is clearly projected from your life choices based on your response but that’s not enough to judge someone online. Im saying that if I extrapolated my choices to others I’d consider myself a narcissist. Before you reply saying that I’m calling people names.

Marriage as a societal contract is archaic. I didn’t say it was dumb historically (marriage has a long and varied history, where love was often never a factor but made sense for the time), but it is archaic. Those aren’t synonyms.
> Barely launched, it's a much better experience than the average ARM SBC, and the review makes a point to stress this fact.

That's a very generous interpretation of what he said.

Took me a long time to get over mine when I first got it. I think white noise, while a helpful temporary distraction, does ultimately become a crutch. Ultimately what helped me get over it was just letting myself hear it and ultimately making peace with it.

It’s kind of ironic in that the “cure” is to train your brain to stop seeing as a threat the noise that it’s generating itself.

The size at which the outside world starts leaking into the system (and vice versa) in short timespans is pretty well defined both theoretically and experimentally, especially because quantum decoherence is a major annoyance to address in quantum computing.
I’ve heard this idea from a few different sources: after the breakup of a longtime partnership, give yourself at least a month per year of the relationship to recover emotionally. It’s certainly not widow(er)hood, but you’ve lost a big part of your life.

Four years, four months. Aside from treading water on your PhD, do as your therapist suggests and focus on “do[ing] things you like” these next three or four months. If you don’t know how already, learn how to cook a few of your favorite meals. You don’t sound like you have the #1 problem/cause of “rock bottoming” (alcohol use disorders), but you might want to avoid alcohol-focused interests right now.

On the flip side, at least she bailed before the marriage, mortgage, and kids. She’s broken your heart, but she's hasn’t ruined your financial future. That sounds a bit cold, but might be a non-negative thing to remind yourself of when you start dwelling on her.

(Edited to add)
My husband met me when he was 32, about a year after he’d finished his PhD, taken a couple of months to find a job, and moved across Germany for said job. It doesn’t feel that way right now, but you’ve got time.
Let's be real, you already can't criticize anything truthfully in the west either. You either have to tone it down to make it politically correct or not say it in the first place for fear of repercussions or reprisal on several levels.

The west is every bit as authoritarian as China but the rules are considerably less clear and it's a lot murkier. It's better to be strictly clear about what is forbidden than to guess about which rules can and cannot be bent or to have to guess about the "unwritten rules" that really guide everything we do.
Consider just the aspect of randomness alone. How can the universe implement it? It seems like a really awkward problem. [But the Everett interpretation gives it to us for free](https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2014/07/28/quantum...). It really seems like a killer argument to me.

I don't intend separate copies. But having some kind of compartmentalized structure to avoid possible package related issues? For e.g if I had a old defective version or with vulnerability, I don't want it to be broken across any & all workspace re-using it.

Thanks for your comment (despite the irritation that I can guess. I presume you expect everyone to understand what you already know in a single stroke. But that seldom happens in real world)

To someone unfamiliar with many of these Python configurators - it definitely helps. Thank you for answering.
Because it makes people to attach to them as if they were human/biological beings. They are not. Even if they think, they won't follow the same "rules" as we do. Think of how Lovecraft made his gods terrifying by allowing them different logic to humans.
No reason to stop at print("print()"), you can nest further, print('print("print()")'). And then you can short-circuit the process, write a single program which first does print(), then print("print()"), then print('print("print()")'), then the next level, then the next level, etc. And no need to stop there: once you have that program, you can print IT. And then continue the process.

Officers were following up a burglary in the 1700 block of West Second Street that occurred about 5:30 p.m. Brown said they were given a description of a black male wearing a black hoodie, jacket and skull cap and leaving on a black bicycle.

They also were informed that the burglary victim’s smart watch had been stolen. That person was able to track the GPS on the watch to nearby Hardee Street. About an hour later officers saw the bicycle matching the description and learned from a family member that the suspect owned it and was living in his car.

They located the vehicle, and the five officers noticed a handgun on top of the car and a man sleeping in the back. They decided to move the gun from the roof and open both doors at the same time, which is seen in the video.

The lead officer can be heard telling the man to wake up as they surrounded the car and kept flashlights shined on him. They repeatedly tell him to put his hands up and to step out of the car. He repeatedly responds "what's going on" and to get the lights out of his face. The officers begin to get a little impatient and one tells him, "Leon, step out, step out or we're going to pull you out." And within seconds for unknown reasons, the man fires a shot grazing the lead officer in the face, and all five returned fire killing him.

`pyenv` was recommended to me as a way to decouple my Python from the OS's one, in order to be able to run a more current one.

But it has been irritating me more that benefiting me, because apparently I need to recompile Python on every new patch release, also for ARM on a RasPi, which takes forever, and then manage the virtual environments related to it. I can't see it as a solution to my problem.

My problem was that I was using `virtualenv` and when I upgraded Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 it blew up all my projects until I recreated all the virtual environments. And I have a lot of them, at least three dozens dispersed on around 15 Linux installations. So I need to find a way to either migrate everything automatically via a script, or use something like `pyenv` to lock my projects to a specific version, so currently I'm holding back a couple of 20.04 installations.

I don't know what to do, this kind of exploded on me, I should have seen it coming.
