> You can see that the number of rape reports have almost doubled since the invention of web pornography.

This is the worst case of cherry picking data I've seen in a long time. First, if your supposition is true then why would the number have dropped with the rise of internet pornography from the late 90s all the way through 2012? Second, what's the per-capita rate instead of absolute number? Third, what other confounding factors are there (did the reporting method stay the same)? This chart tells me nothing except that something weird happened after 2012 and that's it.

Populism is implicitly an argument that, on some issue or portfolio of issues, there is a coherent will of the decisive majority of all people, such that the opposing view on the issue(s) is democratically illegitimate (because it's an elite interest, or a concentrated interest in a collective action problem). Populism is thus an implicit rejection of pluralism, the idea that groups of people are complicated and contain multiple overlapping and often incoherent sets of issue preferences, and that the goal of politics is to accommodate that.

Populism can be tactically useful in a democracy, especially if the ground truth on some issue is that its politics really have been captured by elite interests, and that all of the variance in opinion on that issue comes down to "elite vs. popular". But those issues are pretty rare, and as a formula for the broader project of governing, populism is a disaster.
Modeling a business’s processes does not equate to modeling a business’s data.

Starting with modeling data will immediately cripple software engineers from building what the business needs.

Starting with business models and then deciding what data storage is appropriate is a more practical way of designing software. Operational data very often fits in schema-less document storage.

Relational databases are excellent tools for analytics and reporting.

I stopped architecting software with relational databases “first” 7 years ago and will never go back.

Document databases are highly adaptive and denormalized data is inherently faster.

I’ve since found very rare cases where a boundary requires a relational database.

Welcome to my Domain-Driven Design rant.
If that works with any libraries built on the CPython C API it would be worth calling it out in the docs - it currently reads like pure python or numpy work, but I assumed that was because you'd reimplemented numpy, not managed to dlopen it (and worked around those libraries relying on the GIL).
Pay people enough to afford it? Lol, that would be socialism. Selling at cost means they can make some housing available but at no cost to themselves. It might still work out to be a better deal for the employees though--if they were paid more and bought houses from commercial developers, they'd probably have to pay twice as much for the house.
If you are programming literate, I can't recommend plain .txt and .md enough.

Some random benefits:

• Text files make interfacing with GPT super easy.

• You can use Apple Shortcuts and IFTTT to read and write from text files in iCloud or Dropbox.

• In VIM, you can use arbitrary bash commands to edit text. For instance, you can select a bunch of lines and use :!tac to reverse them.

• Text files are easy to backup, and don't lock you into particular vendors.

Perhaps the fact that I work exclusively on the front-end is why I also derive tremendous value from GPT-4, and I have been perplexed by others saying they find no value in GPT-4 for coding. There is so much boilerplate BS that GPT-4 just nails down and lets me move on to bigger things.

Just yesterday, I needed to mock up a quick prototype for a new feature we're developing. I just paste in my existing React component (and it's all front-end code with no sensitive/proprietary information), tell GPT-4 what I want it to do, and it does it.

Is it perfect? No. Does it sometimes get things wrong? Yes. But it's still easier and faster to help guide GPT-4 and tweak its final output than to have done it all myself.

There’s nothing wrong with being lonely. Nor with feeling that talking to an AI is safe.

AI can be told be be supportive, caring, non-judgmental, loving.
And once told it can do that consistently.

Any person who tries to do all those things will fall short sometimes. Professional therapists included.

The problem is the rug pull. The problem is that the people behind it turned out not to be trustworthy.

Again. The ai was trustworthy. The people were not.

Therein lies the problem.
People are going to have relationships with AI. It’s happening, it’s going to happen more. When this happens with corporate controlled AI, people who depend it them emotionally will be let down.

We need to really understand what that means not just sweep it under the rug with “people shouldn’t form relationships with ai”

However, large percentages of middle and high school students reported past-year marijuana vaping—8% of eighth graders, 19% of 10th graders, and 22% of 12th graders.
Congratulations on the launch! I think it's always a great thing to have people who know what they're doing put a new design out there. Raises the bar for everyone. For example, I think the Rust folks' work on error messages has really raised the bar on what is expected of systems is that regard. Sometimes people working on older systems feel a bit uncomfortable they see the bar being raised on them (it's weird to me to think of Julia as on "older" system, but I guess being around for more than a decade counts), but I actually prefer to think about it in the opposite way. There are lots of forces in systems design that push production systems towards conservatism. "We now have a million users, is it really worth spending the time/effort/risk on this new experimental parser/optimizer/feature, etc?", but if the rest of the world raises the bar, it's a great incentive to keep up and make all our systems better. So I very sincerely wish you the best of luck here and that in the areas where there might end up being overlap between Julia and Mojo people will start complaining to us that we need to be better, because we might just take them up on it ;).
Note that the SPI bus sniffing attacks on dTPMs are simpler to mount (being passive) but also require direct access to the bus (motherboard), and unlike this attack can be prevented in software by knowing the public key of a primary key object on the TPM (e.g., the endorsement key) and using it to authenticate the TPM to the host.

That said, even a host using a dTPM with proper authentication of the dTPM has a problem if the SP is vulnerable to voltage fault injection attacks, because even though SPI bus sniffing wouldn't yield the unlocked FDE keys, the attacker presumably could get full control of the CPU and recover the unlocked FDE keys there.

In other words, the problem here is the voltage fault injection vulnerabilities in general. The fTPM part of it is not as big a deal as the total compromise of the whole system due to those voltage fault injection vulnerabilities.

The Fed pays interest on those reserves to keep them from being lent. A narrow bank wouldn’t be able to lend its reserves. As such, it makes no sense for the Fed to pay interest on them.

It's also a really good argument for not putting all our eggs in one basket and for avoiding total homogenization of the systems by which we live. This is not currently practiced at scale, as anyone who has boarded a plane in one state and lands in identical surroundings in another state can attest.

Is your manager or anyone else in the team harassing you?

If not, then your anxiety might come from an expectation that you must love every part of your job. Use something like pomodoro (this is simple and works: https://brainpls.work/) to do one task at a time. Once your work day is over, go do something you enjoy.

The way I would explain it to a 6 year old would be like this:

Infinity isn't a number really, it's a concept, like the word many or the word few. If someone says they have many of something, you don't think is that odd or even you just know they have a lot of it. Infinity is kind of like that, it explains the idea of things going on forever, not an exact quantity of things like the number 10 or 11.

The problem isn't the TPM. The problem is the CPU (SP) being vulnerable to voltage fault injection attacks. You could be using no TPM and still have all your secrets leak if the host is fully compromised.

It's extremely rare to get a nib that isn't tuned pretty much perfectly if you buy a brand new pen made by one of the Japanese big 3, Pilot, Platinum and Sailor from an actual fountain pen retailer (online or brick and mortar). I've never gotten a remotely bad nib from any of those nor have I heard of someone getting a remotely bad nib from one of them.

If you buy from eBay or used elsewhere or for that matter Amazon, you do sometimes get a bad nib because someone has tried to tune one of these nibs and botched it and then decided to try and sell the pen new.

You have to fill up your cup before you can fill others. Perfectionists are well known to hardly ask for help and in life that's the catalyst for being able to make more time for yourself.

Say no to more things. Spend more time on finding out more about yourself. Start to understand your emotions around the constant trauma you're living through and have lived through.

You don't need to pay somebody $150 for this advice. Go pick up any well known book on stress, trauma, etc and it'll start to make sense.

Here's some to start:

- The Stress of Life

- The Body Keeps the Score

- When The Body Says No / The Myth of Normal

- The Drama of the Gifted Child

- The Courage to Be

- Awakening the Soul

You can also read ancient mythology, philosophy, or religious texts which will repeat familiar stories that help you ponder a deeper sense of purpose. There's many ways to get closer to your soul.
I am personally fine with whistleblowers going to the press if they are more comfortable. The systems in the government, and especially the military, are very harsh and unforgiving to mistakes and unpreparedness. It's hard to whistleblow properly to the government, and so if there is an important topic that needs to be surfaced, then as far as I am concerned I would prefer people do whatever is necessary for their own safety and security to do so.

I respect your stance as well, but disagree that it's always the best. A messy situation like the Manning stuff had numerous avenues of approach and none were great.
I haven't looked closely at the TPM protocols lately, but I think this doesn't help against active bus attacks against a dTPM. The host can (I think) reboot the dTPM and send an arbitrary sequence of PCR changes to the dTPM, and the dTPM will believe it. And then the host can ask the dTPM to unseal something, and it will.

This won't help break a PIN that is protected by the dTPM, but it will fully break any protection relying on the host to verify a PIN. (Which is the default BitLocker behavior.)

I have the exact opposite opinion. They should get out of the rendering engine business and start using Blink like just about everybody else. Take Blink and make a better browser from it using those 20 side projects. Pour resources into them and move them from mediocre to great. Take what Google gives away and spend resources on what Google ignores. Battling Google and Apple on rendering technology makes no sense to me.

If Apple allows third party browsers and Chrome is adopted by enough iOS / iPadOS users, everything other than Blink will be non-standard in a de facto sense.

This is a fairly new opinion for me. On Windows I've started using Edge alongside Firefox and I find myself using Firefox less and less often. On my machine doing the things I need to do, Edge is significantly faster.
Start using RSS feeds and start applying filtering against those RSS feeds.

Beware filter bubbles.

I didn't want to hear about Kanye West, but I missed him running for president until I went on Twitter one day.

Likewise, Kim Kardashian may do something incredible for humanity, and I'll never know about it.

With that in mind, apply filters against titles, not body content. Also helps prevent false positives where someone may invoke a comparison to in an article.

Don't forget one for Prince Andrew.
Ah, that's a standard merge but a 3-way diff. Many DVCSs have that (including Mercurial).

A 3 way merge would have "original", "version a", "version b", and "version c", where "original" is the common ancestor of a, b and c. Mercurial disallows merges like this, but git supports them. I have no idea why git allows it.

But yes, older VCSs ignored the "original" concept, which meant diff tools could just pop up "a" and "b". Which is just a way worse idea than including the original as well.

I think the NRA convention should have unlimited guns all throughout the convention. The actual irony is that the Secret Service knows weapons aren't safe and will happily enact policies, not laws, at a convention that is designed to promote 2A freedoms while completely trampling on those rights all because they're protecting an individual who apparently has greater rights to not be around your guns.
