> Testing our hypothesis

> We set up the apparatus used to test Bell’s inequality. Entangled photons emerge from a source and head in opposite directions. Eventually they get their polarizations measured. We allow the first photon in the pair to enter a double slit experiment. As it passes through the double slit, it interferes with itself, producing a wavelike diffraction pattern on the detector.

It's a confusing paragraph. It i possible to do the double slit experiment with polarized or not polarized, entangled or non entangled photons (and all the combinations, and a few more). All of them produce the same result.

> Then we change the experiment by measuring the second photon in the pair before the first photon reaches the double slit. This will break the entanglement, causing both photons to enter well-defined polarization states. When this happens, the first photon will behave like a particle as it passes through the double slit experiment.

Measuring the double slit experiment with entangled photons to get the same result in both is theoretically possible, but in practice it's impossible to align the grids with enough precision. So the experiments to measure the Bell's inequality use polarization instead. The QM rules that predict the pattern in the double slit experiment are the same that predict the result with polarization.

Once you make a setup to measure the Bell's It's very easy to make any of the arm longer, to ensure which photons arrive first to the measurement part. The experimental result is that it doesn't mater. If you see only the result of one photon it doesn't matter if the other photon arrived to the other extreme of the device earlier of later.

So a variant of this prediction has been already tested, and the experiments disagree with the prediction.

I've been using vertical tabs in Firefox for longer than Edge existed. Currently I'm using the treestyle tabs extension, but there are others.

I find it interesting how we have a perfectly viable alternative in Firefox, but even many privacy informed users still promote Edge or Chrome. The author is a perfect example of this, he says he wants to box his "privacy exposure" to as few companies as possible. That would somehow make sense if all "companies" (in the broadest sense) were equal, but Firefox is made by a non for profit with the explicit goal of keeping the Internet free and private. And for the argument regarding Apple, Apple is perfectly happy to milk you for all your private data as well, they just keep it all to themselves. Why else the locking to their ecosystem.

Anyone who hasn't actually lived in the Great Lakes area might be confused by the title. As the article states:

"I'm talking thinner-than-a-saltine thin, with a shatteringly crisp crackle and just enough structure to hold its own weight against a heavily seasoned sauce and a caramelized layer of mozzarella. It’s probably topped with hand-torn nubs of sausage, maybe a sprinkle of hot giardiniera. Forget the puffy, handlebarlike crust of a New York pie: Thin crust has sauce and cheese all the way to the edge — an edge that comes out extra crisp with a frizzle of nearly blackened cheese overhanging it."

It's a great side to beer, and a real treat I like to point out to visitors.
Hey Stephen, I wrote the original article. Had no idea that MS actually tried to port the Ruby forms engine to the CLR—what a fun twist. Did it end up being too difficult technically, or were there other factors that killed it?
> Why do you think they make huge profit on bandwidth.

Because I have a rough idea of what bandwidth costs me at a data center, I can make some conservative extrapolations for their economies of scale, and I can read the AWS price page.

(I have also negotiated discounted bandwidth fees for AWS, and while they can be substantial, AWS is not going hungry.)
Can someone here point me towards the most current literature/sources on this topic? I’ve seen Beneckes EU-parliament talk and found the numbers presented there (probably the same ones you can see in the paper) very concerning.

In my opinion there are better examples, such as how AWS' managed products are deliberately hobbled and handicapped to make it complicated to migrate away from them once you're in. Two examples that I have first-hand experience with:

It's easy to set Aurora up as "slave" for accepting replication data from an external MariaDB/MySQL server in order to make a smooth low-downtime migration into AWS, but there are... oddly peculiar kludges... when wanting to set Aurora up as "master" and have it feed its binlog outside in order to migrate away in the same smooth fashion.

For their managed Redis ("Elasticache") they have intentionally disabled a few functions that relate to exporting/migrating live data from one Redis instance to another. In particular the "MIGRATE" function, which is used specifically to make a fast and accurate dump of all data when you want to supplant (read: migrate) a Redis instance. Instead you have to hack manual outbound migration together yourself, key by key, database by database.

While having Linux preinstalled is without doubt a good thing to make more people familiar with the ecosystem and soften the learning curve by eliminating the install process, note that this doesn't protect from any kind of spyware, branded crapware that pushes users into buying products or services, or simple telemetry. Users who know how to do a fresh Linux install should do that anyway before they put their personal data and files on the device. That would be good practice also with Windows preloaded laptops, where having a load of added garbage became the norm.

i started reading some of paul therouxs books and its given me a refreshed idea of what travel can be and how much some people are ok with opening up about. travel is so hard and expensive to do, were basically all beginners at it. even if you think your well traveled. visit 20 countries sounds like a lot and you start to feel like you know what your doing, but if you did 20 drawings your still clearly learning the basics.
Wait until you find out about the trap that is "default page or home page" in Edge... What poop show.

What’s the solution for the latter point you mentioned?

If they proactively contact someone as part of their verification?
Yes, it _was_ that bad.

I worked on a Backbone app for multiple years. Integrated numerous plugins to try to fill various use cases (view lifecycles, event processing, computed data, UI composition). It was a _royal_ pain.

React solved _all_ those pain points.

React has its own tradeoffs, but I get to focus on much more meaningful decisions in the app, and have _vastly_ more flexibility in how I build it.
I would assume real gold bars of this size would have some kind of notion of a certificate of provenance and/or authenticity stamped into it or associated with it, e.g. specific symbols or ID numbers that would fall under international forgery laws if duplicated. Because one and 10 troy oz bars come with loads of identification. Of course those can be faked too, but who would be dumb enough to trade in dubious unmarked "gold bars"? The only answers I can come up with sound like James Bond plots.
It's not just a selling point, it's a reflection on how providers see customers. I've been struck when using other platforms (OCI, some PaaSes) that it feels a lot more like a partnership, where everybody makes money when I succeed, than a short-horizon extraction machine. And sure, maybe they'd change their minds in AWS's position...but they're not, and maybe nobody should be allowed to be as big as AWS?

OCI also doesn't charge for NAT gateways, which makes sense because it's a configuration in a router that already exists and is already doing things. AWS, on the other hand, brings out the knives for you.
Interesting observation. Why do you think it's like this?
Fascinating! I’ve never seen the point of owning gold and have wondered why people would buy gold coins (or why they sell simply for the price of the underlying content) rather than just buying plain old bars of whatever size.

I still don’t understand why people buy gold but at least I now see why it’s sensible to buy coins.

My mum married draped in gold jewelry which was too soft to be worn again. I’ve seen the photos and saw the gold as a kid in their safe deposit box, where it’s sat for 60 years. Given that she moved to the west, what was the point?
They use ngrams[0] and provide much more current dictionaries that won't flag non-dictionary words that are popular phases (think Urban Dictionary-like words/phases). The closest thing to something like Grammarly, Microsoft Editor, or Google's Enhanced spell check that you can run locally is Language Tool's local HTTP (java) server[1] combined with the Language Tool extension, and installing an ngram database[2]. But that won't give you the up-to-date phase information and you'll get red-squiggles under common phases that aren't dictionary words yet (e.g. Fluffernutter, Copypasta, Deplatform, et al).

Is it worth using these services given the privacy implications? Only you can answer that. I personally wish we had better local offerings, but I just don't think anyone wants to fund it when there's almost no revenue to be made.

Interestingly, when I booted up a Win10 VM (with internet access) a few weeks ago some Edge window appeared, took over the screen, and wanted to force me to go through their preferences/setup wizard.

By "force" I mean "giving no other options". No "skip", "do it later" (or similar), and no way to quit.

Had to outright kill the task in the windows process manager, as there's zero chance I want anything to do with Edge.

So "don't use the software" is workable for people who know how to kill tasks.

But MS will be pulling that shit on average consumers too.

I can't prove it, because I don't have data: my GitHub page is useful.

My CV is two pages long, and it's still too long, recruiters don't read it, probably just look at the keywords or IDK how they work. Previous version was 17 pages long, it was a bad conception (just listed projects, etc., as described in the book, of 30+ years).

But if you look at my GitHub page, you can get a far better picture. I only have my own repos, so you get a relatively good idea of what I do, how I work (most of my projects have documentation, tests), what quality code I write, even if the picture is a bit biased, because of some non-public and of course work projects are not included.

How fascinating that Schola Medica Salernitana is best for aspiring doctors and surgeons but worst for bookish types.

Contrast that to today, where my friends growing up who went on to become doctors were among the most bookish people I know.

That suggests that the skills needed to be a successful surgeon or doctor back then are way different from the skills needed now.

At my company they still initially failed to make payroll. Eventually around 6 pm Pacific on the 15th the direct deposits started landing for most people. Although not everyone.

I think they did it via some kind of one off point process since I didn’t get an email and the Rippling web app didn’t show me as paid until midday on the 16th. Normally those occur at the same time I see the direct deposit hit.

Very unhappy with Rippling here and will advocate my company change processors. They initially acted as if they would cut over to JPMorgan and be fully up on Monday, but as time goes on it becomes clear they had to do a lot more than just change the account they staged payroll through.

They also failed to have a secondary banking relationship in place, credit revolvers or other contingencies that let them handle this in house, etc. In 30 years of getting paid and working through times like 2008 when major disruption to banking and credit availability occurred, to me Rippling stands alone as the only company that failed to run payroll on time
and it took a single point of failure to make them fall.
> every course would only provide a review of a student instead of grades

Would it? You'd think that a hiring manager would rather see a description of what the student accomplished, and with what level of skill, rather than a rather opaque letter grade.

Of course, that would make it tough to run "cattle car" courses with thousands of students being graded with multiple-choice tests. I don't think that would be a bad thing, either.

I'll admit I've used them. In particular, I've used paperswithcode to find implementations of ML models. There are often a number of implementations of the same model, and the quality is highly variable. I've used stars (which paperswithcode displays) as a pre-screen. Spoiler alert, the highest started implementations are not always the best. But it still helps to triage, as a proxy for how well used it is

This is interesting to me ; I am a regular cyclist and I commented recently on the fact that when I was a kid, there were always 'clouds' of gnats in the evenings that typically swarmed around and you would bike through them...

I havent encountered a swarm of little gnat in a very long time.

However, I blame this on glyphosate which decimated the insect environments.

The other thing, in the early 1980s in Lake Tahoe, there was a grove of trees near my elementary school where the Monarch Butterflies would congregate and an entire pine tree would be completely blanketed in them - havent seen that in decades.

Milkweed is their only food and egg-laying spot (on the underside of the leaves) - but milkweed has been eradicated with glyphosate and thus no more Monarchs.
In comparison to everything else, it is tiny. All of banking could be significantly automated to the point that we don't need to build physical buildings all over the planet and stuff them full of humans who drive their cars to work every day to take your money and write it down on a ledger. Talk about absurd.

Remember also, this equipment is being turned off because ethereum has grown to be more efficient. It is now proof of stake instead of proof of work and it has been a relatively huge success. Over night, this single change wiped out every single GPU mined network out there by removing all the profitability. That was the plan from day one and I'm glad it worked!
> corporate firewalls

Yeah, just like how last week I requested IT to open up twitch.tv so I can watch programming live streams over lunch, but I was denied (however Youtube is wide open, so I could just watch the VODs anyway) and instead I just used my phone's data to watch twitch on lunch.

If corporate firewall is anything but a slight inconvenience for you then you are not technical.

Last part is such nosense I can't even respond.
You know that's not what happened during the French revolution, right? Like, at all. Most representatives wanted to keep it alive after he was captured in Varennes. They wanted an English-style monarchy, with a stronger parlement

If he had not conspired against France with the Hapsburgs, and let letters proving he was actively participating in the war effort to trap and kill his own citizens (or rather subjects), the representatives would just have kept him under house arrest until the end of the Austrian, Prussian, Spanish, Italian and English aggression (they had no casus belli BTW, maybe the Austrian could justify one, but this was an illegal aggression, I refute the name of first coalition war).

And had he not done it, 'la montagne' would not have taken control of the parlement, Paris' sans culottes would not have been radicalized as much, there would have been less deaths in province. Also, he was one of the investigator of foreign aggression, so less war, less death on the battlefield.

Also, had the pope kept his army in his pants, other Italian and Iberic Nations would have too, and at most the cardinals would have taken an haircut (given the amount they stole, it was only right), and most catholic churches would suffer as much as protestant temple : nothing.

I don't know how you draw parallel between Caesar assassination and Louis XVI lawful execution.
You are likely not important enough to scam. The first people I can imagine this being shown to are VCs in pitch decks who are only going to see this on a powerpoint and not actually on github.

You're the kind that checks everything. Even if you had something valuable, a scammer wouldn't waste their time with you then there are easier fish to bait.

What was the RSA crack effort you mention? It doesn't seem feasible, considering finding a SHA-256 collision would take so much compute power we don't have words to describe it, and even coming up with thoughts to frame the problem is hard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9JGmA5_unY). I can't imagine cracking even an RSA2048 key with everyone working on it.

>Kyiv regime isn't Ukranian

I'm not actually arguing that. However: Zelensky was elected largely by the voters in the eastern regions of Ukraine, and largely because he promised to bring peace to those regions. He has failed in that promise and betrayed his voters. Most likely because of Western influence.

>Putin sees the Kyiv regime as Western ... ... he says so in the speech I linked above.... etc.

I read the entire thing and I don't see it. Which paragraph are you talking about? Is it this one:

"...the leading NATO countries are supporting the far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine, those who will never forgive the people of Crimea and Sevastopol for freely making a choice to reunite with Russia. They will undoubtedly try to bring war to Crimea just as they have done in Donbass..."

because that's certainly not about "Ukrainians" in the sense that you keep on implying.

>Could you answer if you believe the Kyiv regime is Ukranian?

Let me try. The current Kiev regime is made up of Ukrainian nationals. However, it is no longer acting in the interests of Ukrainian people. It has become a sock puppet of the NATO countries. So I believe that it is "Ukrainian" in the same sense that the ruling party of China is "communist" or that Donald Trump is a "conservative". Hope that answers your question.
