Because being direct with the truth is far more preferable than some bullshit weasley unrelated excuse for why they're terminating the relationship. This is the case in all situations, even when the truth "hurts".
Nope. Overseas offices in those regions still get attacked from the same locations in "the East". There is only a small local component, e.g. because some local ISPs filter SMTP on external gateways, but not internally, e.g. in South America.
No, because they cannot ask BBC to publish an article about that
It does address clock distribution, though the distribution method is sneakernet, in other words "synchronise clocks at one location, then walk away and come back with it".
Does rcmd expose an api to e.g. call it via shell action in BTT? I would like to keep using BTT for higher level config.

In BTT I have currently set right cmd as a second hyper key (first one being caps). I could see rcmd being useful if I can define on a per key basis if it should run or not.

Most people do not assume good faith, especially online. Depending on the person, they will often go directly for the least charitable interpretation possible. The goal isn't to be humans together, it's to win.
This is the kind of privacy that I (along with a large majority of unsophisticated tech users) care about most. I don't care if machines access my data and serve me better ads, I do care whether customer data can easily be viewed by a HR person / angry ex / private investigator / controlling ultra-religious parents / crooked cop of a third-world-country with a bullshit "this person wants to commit suicide" excuse.

I have actually talked with non-tech-savvy people about this, most of them have heard of tech companies tracking their users, and most of them genuinely believe that there are tech company employees out there going through their private lives. This is why I really dislike the use of the word "tracking" in a tech privacy context.
All I'm hearing is you aren't able to discern the difference. Everyone else has so I think we can safely put a pin in this.

It wasn’t quite 40 years ago, but there’s a line in the film The Hunt for Red October (1990) that explicitly describes SOSUS as a submarine “warning net”. Knowing Tom Clancy, I’d guess there are similar references in the book (1984).

Everybody wants to reduce gang crime, but that is a separate issue unrelated to what the conversation usually is.

People often use gang violence in stats they use to argue for increasing gun control. Bringing gang violence into the conversation makes no sense, since gangs historically get guns no matter how many laws prohibit it. Doubly so since often gangs are in cities and urban areas: the places in America that already have the most strict gun laws.

Acting like armed groups of criminals breaking the law to fight each other fall in the same category as a mentally unwell individual shooting innocent civilians are in the same category, and using the same term to refer to them both, helps nobody and just muddies the conversation.
I wait for the day soon to come when AIs will "actively" participate in. And we have to find a term that encompasses both humans and AIs. And anyone not using the currently correct one will have their lives destroyed. Or if someone finds recording from using previously correct one and does the same.

What I'm not getting is...

1. You've got a cache miss
2. You need to evict something, so look at the next item due for eviction.
3. It's a candidate for promotion, so you reinsert it.
4. You still need to evict something, so goto 2.

Isn't that a potential infinite loop? And even if not (because there's some other exit clause), how is it quick?

My understanding of the way dependabot works is that they read your repository's manifest files to provide alerts about vulnerable dependencies. Then after you patch the repository they re-read it to identify the new package version you've moved to, and if there were any build errors introduced from the update. That info is anonymised & fed into an aggregated dataset, creating suggestions for other users like "95% of repositories impacted by this CVE upgraded from v1.0.4 to 1.0.5". Dependabot doesn't read through your code (unless your code is in `.manifest` or `.package` files).

That might still be too much for you, everyone's line is at a different place. Dependabot works better the more data it has, so personally I'm fine with that level of detail being returned to an aggregated service, for that very specific purpose.

There are other private providers of dependency scanning out there. I'm fairly sure they all work the same way Github does, just with smaller datasets.
For those of us that are not on the level of senior engineers or even non-senior engineers, it is an interesting way to get more exposure and practice with all of this. I would have no idea where to start if I wanted to do some of the stuff I can do with langchain. Not that's it is world-changing but my dev knowledge just hasn't reached that point yet (but I would love for it to). Learning to do all this on my own in better and more efficient manners would be incredible but I wouldn't even know where to start.
This is off topic (I owned an Atari 2600, and loved Atari, but never owned Video Chess), but I've come up with a chess variant I call "Transposition Chess" (not to be confused with Transcendental Chess).

The rules are the same with three major differences.

I) Black has the option of transposing any two pieces on their back rank before play begins. If they do they must transpose the parallel pieces on their other side to make their setup symmetrical (unless they transpose the king and queen). White must adjust their setup to mirror Black's, and then play can commence.

This creates 11 possible setups:

1)b>RNBQKBNR
w>RNBQKBNR

2)b>RNBKQBNR
w>RNBKQBNR

3)b>RBNQKNBR
w>RBNQKNBR

4)b>BNRQKRNB
w>BNRQKRNB

5)b>NRBQKBRN
w>NRBQKBRN

6)b>RNQBBKNR
w>RNQBBKNR

7)b>RNKBBQNR
w>RNKBBQNR

8)b>RQBNNBKR
w>RQBNNBKR

9)b>RKBNNBQR
w>RKBNNBQR

10)b>QNBRRBNK
w>QNBRRBNK

11)b>KNBRRBNQ
w>KNBRRBNQ

Castleling is only possible in the first five set-ups, and will always be with the piece that occupies the Rook's original square.

II) Pieces can be demoted by moving them to an original pawn square (on one's own side of the board) and declaring a demotion. However, there must be at least one of their pawns captured that they can "exchange" it for. Note that the new pawn could deliver checkmate/stalemate.

III) Pawns can only be promoted to pieces currently captured. If no pieces are currently captured, the pawn may not move to the promotion rank (as if a piece was blocking it). Note that it may still deliver checkmate/stalemate in this position, as normal.

The thinking behind the first rule is to make book opening memorization less of an issue (without making things too complicated or unusual) as well as giving Black compensation for moving second. The thinking behind demotions is to make games that would normally be draws due to lack of material (or skill) winning. The thinking behind the last rule is to make over-the-board play easier (e.g. no confusion about whether a piece is a pawn or queen), though it also potentially makes "two for one" exchanges more attractive for the person capturing two pieces (I recently saw somewhere that there's some evidence that when the queen is exchanged for two rooks or the rook for two minor pieces, the person losing two pieces typically does better, though nominally they have less in material value).
I was sold on the features but never got the hang of how to work with it.
The power of any of these large platforms (and how they apply their "policies") is bewildering.

I once listed some GPUs for sale on Amazon. Out of nowhere, without warning, they closed every account I had across Amazon platforms (including AWS). That was fun. Many people have reported the same thing with Google.

Just this week a woman tweeted about a Lyft ride that went sideways. Of course some skepticism is warranted on versions of events because it is a bizarre story but Lyft summarily cancelled her account for "jumping out of" a Lyft ride[0]. Even after multiple attempts to give her side of the story they refused to re-open her account. It was only after the social media response that they reversed their position - which is incredible because they seemed to do this without any new facts. If she was really that dangerous to the platform they would/should have stood their ground.

I have a similar story - I once had someone join me for an Uber ride and they yelled at the driver. The next day Uber sent me a notice that they "don't tolerate violence on the platform" and banned me from Uber worldwide for life (their description). It was embarrassing, I don't condone it, but I have to think the driver likely reported it as some kind of physical contact because I have no idea how yelling constitutes "violence". I didn't bother to pursue it in any way because if they don't want my money I won't give it to them.

Yup, there are cheap salts with their own toxins and even expensive Himalaya salt can probably contain bad stuff.
But at least here in germany, there are (non government) organisations that test food for their poisons and you can buy their test results, also for salt, in the shape of a magazine.

And even they can be wrong, sure, but I can still avoid poison where possible, so if I see no reason to voluntarily add cyanide on top of all the other shit for no good reason, I simply won't.

That's left her unsure of "what to make of it and feeling paranoid," she told me via Twitter.

This is the level we're generally working at - first or second party to the authors of the research papers illustrating implementations of concepts, struggling with the Gradio interface, things going straight from commit to production.

It's way less frustrating to follow all of the authors in the citations of the projects you're interested in than wasting your attention sorting through blogspam, SEO, and YT trash just to find out they don't really understand anything, either.

There is no unrestrained capitalism.
This is the doing of the managerial class, and they managed to get so much power because of central banks. Especially after 2008 the major central banks have bought assets on the stock market and financed all kinds of projects without a second thought.
They print money and make companies like amazon huge.
This is 100% government 's doing. Total fake economy.
In a free market there is no limited liability, but even if there was companies are subject to profit and loss. The profit and loss mechanism has bren destroyed by goverment, companies now operate based on incentives derived from what's fashionable among the managerial class, not what serves customers and make money.

Also I would not exclude that these companies can be put in their place by using already existing laws. No need for new laws, it's a matter of political will.

That's the problem with giant do-everything companies like Google and Amazon. People should never be locked out of critical infrastructure without (the equivalent of) a fair trial. I mention Google because they have been banning people who [feces]post on Youtube, locking them out from all services including accessing content they paid for, checking the calendar on their phones, and even receiving emails.

It is possible to do better. Valve does what should be the absolute minimum; tracking community forum bans separately from anticheat bans, neither of which stops you from accessing single-player content you paid for.
