My point was not to single out the Ottomans as the only bad actors in the historic context - that's what I meant by those times were cruel. The west was still shaking off the last few years of the dark ages when the Ottomans established their presence in Europe, and those times were nothing to be proud of. Even so, all empires' histories are written in blood. Even the more progressive ones - from the wiki article you posted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_the_Ottoman_Em...) :

"For strategic reasons, the Ottomans forcibly converted Christians living in the frontier regions of Macedonia and northern Bulgaria, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries. Those who refused were either executed or burned alive."

I agree with you about the nuances of history. I also have a gut reaction every time I see a discussion about the "glory of XYZ" empire. I like the art, architecture etc, but those came at a cost, and I think most are quick to hush hush it as a strategic necessity - the history of the USA included.
Dissident Music Subcultures of the 2020s
If they just worked with the users I'm pretty sure a lot of us would be absolutely proud of reddit for making it big and raking in the dough. All this time they'd left open old.reddit.com as a nod to us who've been here through all these years, and the new users were content with the redesign that was designed to get reddit paid.

Could you imagine how it would go down, if reddit had quietly negotiated with developers to allow for user API access and limiting the rates to that which a normal user would consume? (e.g. 400 calls a day or whatever). This would both allow for 3p apps to continue hooking us up with the oldschool forum board we like, WHILE preventing LLM models from scraping 1 Gigabyte of text every day.

Literally everyone would have been happy. Users would have the slight inconvenience of maybe having to re-log into their app, LLM and Researchers would pay for the privilege of getting to scrape 1 Gigabyte of text a day.

The only loophole here is malicious apps scraping the user's data as they browse and selling that black market. But is that really such a big hurdle as to completely discard the approach?

> The manifest has ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.

This seems like the problem? And it explains why the app can upload your GPS coordinates directly after querying the Android location APIs.

According to the developer docs, Bluetooth apps should only request ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION "if your app uses Bluetooth scan results to derive physical location". And if they assert that they don't use BT to derive location then the user won't be prompted with a location permission dialogue, just a bluetooth one.

This app isn't deriving location from Bluetooth alone? But I'm guessing it has an embedded map inside that shows your location, and that's why it needs ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. Meaning it's unrelated to Bluetooth. From reading the docs linked by the GP it seems that for Bluetooth communication only purposes an app shouldn't request that permission.
LineageOS used to be able to do this and more by spoofing apps with fake data as an independent permission system the apps couldn't bitch about. Google forced them to remove the feature.

Transformers are not forced to use a specific input (or output) shape; the original ViT paper demonstrates interpolating positional embeddings to inference with arbitrary image shapes.
If you're willing to mess with audio and have an AVI/MKV, you could extract the audio from the two tracks you want, convert the 2 channel (from the surround mix), then flatten to mono, and put track 1 and 2 into the stereo left and right channels. Then get an adapter that takes stereo and outputs each to a mono 3.5 connector, and then convert that back to stereo for the headphones. You can do this with a mix of mkvtool, audacity, and ffmpeg.. although it is a fair bit of effort.

> I think that's only true for IPO shares

Not quite: By buying shares in a company, you positively influence its share price, which reduces cost of capital for the company (in case it needs it).

Arguably, the difference in impact (in terms of enabling/steering companies to do things) between the IPO and secondary market these days is probably negligible compared to any two single private funding rounds.
I haven't been keeping as close an eye on this for the past few years, and apparently I am partially incorrect on this because my knowledge is not complete.

ITP 2.3 update a few years ago broke this feature, so on browsers with ITP - basically Safari and Firefox and Chrome on iOS - Google was essentially forced to change the UI, so that website owners implementing this feature now have the choice of either always displaying the unconditional dialog button like your screenshot, or not displaying at all on such browsers. Predictably, Google chose the default to be to display, and I would assume most website would not turn it off.

https://developers.google.com/identity/gsi/web/guides/itp seems to be their doc on this.

So both you and my original comment are conditionally correct. It works as I described on browsers without ITP 2.3, namely Chrome (except on iOS) and Edge (IIRC). On Safari and Firefox, it sounds like it would work as you described - I haven't tested this on those platforms yet myself but no reason not to trust the doc here.
Thanks for the feedback, we're looking into it right now!
Not true. CAFE was amended in the late 2000s to provide more fuel restrictions for smaller cars while keeping the same fuel restrictions for bigger cars. The result is bigger cars being made.

"no safe level of exposure" is facially absurd. One atom of lead (or any element) is going to poison you? Come on.

There might not be a practical way to keep exposure to a substance low enough to be safe but that sort of nuance is not dramatic enough to sell an article!
I think the point (at least the one I gathered from the article) is that turmeric is sometimes artificially colored to make it the right shade of yellow, and that lead is in the chemical often used for that coloring. Thus, evidence of artificial coloring is a heuristic for presence of lead.

I suppose your turmeric could fail the test, and you could decide that the failure is not a sufficient proof of lead presence, because it might be a different lead-free artificial coloring that caused the test failure. That is absolutely your right to decide.

Yes, and it’s interesting that Prayer in Christian Churches is essentially a form of group meditation!

These practices date back thousands of years, and likely came out of the understanding of the importance of meditation for a healthy society.

The importance of meditation, yoga-like practice and so on has been muddled in our neo Christian western cultures.

Christianity separates mind, body and soul.

So perhaps now US style Christian prayer has become more about worship and less about self awareness.

> Pretty sure that used to be a thing in Android.

Android grant/revoke style permissions are a retrofit. You used to have to accept all permissions before installing through the store, and internet access was one of those. But if you didn't accept, you don't get the app.

That's still how it works for some permissions, but many have a grant/revoke instead. Internet access is still a permission, but google play doesn't prompt you for it anymore. All apps get to have it. (But if they don't ask for it in their manifest, it doesn't work)
> The HFTs only work because the market would be made a moment later. A buyer and a seller already exist.

Not at all. If you, for whatever reason, need to sell right now, putting in a market order in an illiquid market can cost you a lot.

It can be discussed how big the contribution of HFTs to market making really is (large companies or exchanges often employ dedicated market makers, I believe?), but the benefit of market making itself should hopefully be obvious.
Finally let the dog out on its death bed.
True, there aren't very many.

But I was shocked to learn that the wife of a friend of mine had grown up in Oregon City (15 miles south of Portland) and she had only ever traveled to Washington state and had never pumped her own gas.
I had this happen because I was (still am) using the vent with an adapter to put the phone. One time it slipped and I was trying to adjust it when all of a sudden it called 911. First thing I did when I parked was to disable it as 911 called me twice when I was driving and I couldn't reply the first time.

How's the shortcut useful when nobody has an idea it even exists except those who stumble upon it by mistake?!
How could that possibly harm anyone?
Can you provide a source where I can read up on this - how could Google influence Lineage OS?
This seems to be a common sentiment – but do you know what HFTs actually do, and why it works?

I was pretty skeptical too, but the more I look into it, the more it just boils down to market making (providing liquidity) and arbitrage (improving price quality across exchanges).

There might be dirty tricks there too – I'm only speaking for legal trading practices here. And if an HFT makes its profit using illegal methods, what's the difference between that and other financial crimes like insider trading, collusion to frontrunning etc.?

I don't really get the (to me somewhat irrational/uninformed) focus on HFTs, when things like payment for order flow probably "siphons off" just as much from retail investors' trades.

Setting up A VPN is more complicated than a single webapp necessitates. I'd recommend using Cloudflare, with Cloudflare Access, and expose your VPS via a Cloudflare Tunnel. (You can use all of this for free.)

If you really want to go down the VPN route, you can use something like Tailscale (which uses Wireguard under the surface).
This is readily exposed to the user, and has been for a long time.

I love stimulus. And Hotwire. I find everything more maintainable and faster to developer when rails on the centre of the universe. Obviously a personal preference.

I faced a similar display toggle-able use case for form fields recently.

I did find that I used stimulus to hide the fields there was a slightly “flicker” as they appeared and then were hidden in the connect() function.

It didn’t affect my use case, as I could default hide and then toggle them to appear with stimulus.

But in the event they should appear by default and then be hidden based on some logic within the stimulus controller, is there a better way to handle this?
Meanwhile after all our debates, it happens again a few days later.

I'm a homeowner as well and although I've benefited enormously to the tune of 100s of thousand of dollars in equity gains, I'm disgusted by the lack of will to fix this problem. I'm not the most selfless person in the world, far from it but I would never vote against someone else's right to build cost effective shelter (building regulations/requirements) or acquire the land needed (zoning/land use policy) to do so. I don't understand how people don't get that everyone should have a right to be somewhere on this planet: anything less is completely inhumane.
xoa is kind of correct in describing IPFS as a giant CDN but there's a key difference here between IPFS and "IPFS gateways".

IPFS gateways don't host any files, they act in the exact way that xoas comment talks about.

> They don't host content, they don't discriminate, they just route traffic.

Indeed an IPFS gateway does not "host" content either, it merely shifts bits around in the same way a proxy or VPN shifts bits around. It's not correct to say that when you're connected to a VPN that your VPN provider is hosting Google or Netflix, it's the exact same with IPFS gateways.

The only difference between IPFS gateways and a proxy in that sense is that a proxy serves the client HTTP content from a HTTP source whereas an IPFS gateway serves HTTP content from an IPFS source.

Equivalently imagine a proxy that could proxy traffic from any publicly accessible FTP server to HTTP. Is it correct to say that the proxy is hosting the content that resides on the FTP? No, it's not. The FTP server is hosting the content and the proxy is piping it to clients from FTP->HTTP without storing anything.
> Additionally, this doesn't seem to have been a problem when it rolled out on Pixel devices a year and a half ago, Pixels are certainly common enough for that to become a known issue.

It absolutely was a problem for me and I disabled it. I attach the phone to my car vent with an adapter and it slipped and when trying to adjust it called 911 twice while I was driving (couldn't pick up the first time).

How come such a critical shortcut be so unknown is a mystery to me. I can't imagine anyone ever used it intentionally.
Corporations were all willingly taking less than the maximum profit they could before and coincidentally when interest rates go to zero and governments provide unprecedented financial support to citizens all the companies decide to get greedy. I'm more than a bit skeptical of this narrative.

(to be clear, I was never a Harvard College undergrad. I was a degree candidate in a Harvard Extension program before transferring, and I worked for Harvard for over two decades, one of them full-time.)

Firstly, a big part of the allure of CS50 is the fact that it's one big ol' nerdy computer party and you're invited!

Secondly, and I'm not trying to sell the Harvard mystique, but considering that Harvard's acceptance rate is 4%, the students handle brick-wall challenges gracefully.

Additionally, they don't necessarily want students that are going to do poorly in CS50 to pursue computer science at Harvard, so I'm sure it also serves as an effective bouncer for all of the students who haven't decided on their concentration deciding that they'll do CS because tech is sexy right now. The lectures look pretty straightforward, but we had to write code involving basic data structures and memory management in C on our paper midterm exams, with no reference, administered in a lecture hall. It's probably tough for kids that are used to acing everything, but it's a lot easier to find out you don't like CS in CS50 than it is to find out after choking on discrete math or a compiler class.

And as my first-year expository writing professor said after assigning like 70 pages of close-reading Kant for a weekly assignment, "Will it be difficult? Yes. Reading Kant is like running in sand. But that's why you decided to go to Harvard."
Let's take one of the source studies linked in other comments and investigate:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5415259/

The product recalls mentioned are all American brands, and their origin is unspecified - other than South Asia, turmeric is also exported from China, SE Asia, the Caribbean and South America. In the absence of FDA guidelines on lead levels in spices, this study has used the lead levels in candy as the threshold (0.1 ppm) The study also highlights a previous case study in Boston where 4 pediatric cases had lead exposure - of the 4, only one had detectable lead in the family's turmeric - at a level of 1.4 ppm. This was a 12-month-old baby, so wasn't consuming the turmeric, and the case study doesn't suggest he was.

The Indian food safety standards restrict lead in spices to below 2.5 ppm, with turmeric especially tested for lead chromate (FSSAI standards allow lead upto 10 ppm (!!!) in turmeric, while AGMARK allows only upto 2.5 ppm). Turmeric being exported from India to the USA has several additional mandatory certifications required, for other dyes like Sudan I - IV, aflatoxins, pesticides, etc. Since the FDA has no limits published on lead, the Indian limits of 2.5 ppm probably apply. Is that an acceptable level? Probably not great, and there is no safe level of lead. However, lead will show up in any agricultural product, so we need a reasonable 'acceptable' range. For me and most other Indians who consume turmeric on a daily basis, we defer to the Indian certifications.
I really like this and would recommend being able to add extra field(s) when doing a custom one. I know that it had a custom one, but I couldn't format the text. It only adds bullet points. And, I could only use 1 custom field. I'd like to be able to add multiple.

Also, it would be great if one can format with markdown syntax.

The other thing is that I imported my resume (pdf) and it didn't pick up things for the right fields. I know it's a WIP, but hopefully the kinks get worked out soon as I'd like to use it.
