I'm not agreeing with it. I vehemently disagree with current US intelligence policy, and I think 5EYES is a travesty and clearly intended to do an end-run around legal protections for citizens of each of the signatories from their own government. It's clear the US government is acting unethically, but that does not mean their behavior is illegal, and I'm trying to clearly point out the distinction.

There's a lot of Europeans in the comments who mistakenly believe that GDPR applies outside of the EU. It does not. The US is a sovereign nation with its own laws, and it does not have any analogous legal restrictions like GDPR, nor does it have any legal restrictions against the government using it's intelligence apparatus against non-Americans.
I have engaged with it. They definitely aren't receptive and development moves excruciatingly slowly, but I wouldn't attribute that to being negative so much as strictly limited resources.

Thunderbird is what it is; if you find it useful in its current incarnation use it (I do), but don't expect it to noticeably improve at the rate we've come to anticipate from other open-source projects. Even though Thunderbird is very popular by common open-source metrics for whatever reason it just doesn't move very quickly.

Yeah you're totally right, right clicking a search bar should also work and would be lower friction / less confusing.

> Still, it's just a toy anyway, I assume you weren't planning to turn this into a real service right? :)

Not a real service, but if it was more cross-browser I'd probably have bought a domain for it and spent a week or two trying to build more interesting games with the idea! I think this would have been a fun constraint to build some games around. But sure, this was never going to go far past "fun art project / party trick"
As a former pure mathematician turned software dev, I couldn’t agree more. The language and ideas of Category Theory are indispensable for doing modern algebraic number theory, but I have yet to see a compelling example of Category Theory applied to software development.
Sure, as long as it's ok if it makes up stuff that isn't true a few times per chapter. :)
> You may have an intuitive notion of "true", but with logic, the devil is in the details. In my experience, it is better to stick to the mathematical definitions, especially when talking about things like the incompleteness theorem.

> A completeness theorem is then a theorem that states that what is true is precisely what is provable. (Proved by Gödel for classical logic.)

As I pointed out in another comment, you are actually using a nonstandard definition of “true”/“truth” yourself; what you are calling “truth” is generally referred to as “validity”.

> However, when introducing a new axiom, mathematicians don't argue whether it is "true" or not

This is not representative of the historical development of mathematical logic and analytic philosophy at all.
Firefox updated the other day and started putting ads into my address bar when I search for stuff. “Firefox Sponsored Suggestions” or some other such nonsense. I had to look up how to disable it. At least I could.

Actually, bicycles are the best form of transportation around. They're the most energy-efficient, and least environmentally impactful form of transportation. Your doctor likes it because you get some exercise, too!

With e-bikes you can combine the best of both worlds - a reasonable speed yet you're still contributing to your locomotion.

Electric motorcycles would be next up if you need to travel a longer distance at a higher speed than is required in an urban environment.

I'm going to be controversial and disagree with this. If you're being onboarded to an app, and there's a "enable telemetry?" button and it's clear and checked by default, that's not awful. If your data is sufficiently anonymized, that's the only way you're going to get actual user data, otherwise it's skewed to be those that go out of the way to enable it - in other words, not normal users.
s/we/Microsoft/

I just took some time at actually configuring a MS Windows VM I "care" about, after not really having paid attention to Windows in well over a decade. They're still doing it. Ongoing countless pop up dialogs about "permissions", "are you sure", windows "defender", etc. I would have thought they would have worked on security, cleaned up the UI load by streamlining a lot of the popup questions, made elevated permissions into a better defined thing you enable once per major action rather than just something you routinely need, etc. But no, they really just took the same dumpster fire of an operating system, ported over notification hell from mobile land, rigged ads into various UI elements, and called it a new version. Shame on me for having expected anything more, but oof.

I guess the dynamic is just the equivalent of the US legal regime where individuals are forced into "consenting" to all sorts of vile things through unilateral contracts of adhesion. The only real purpose seems to be so that when someone complains about some poor outcome, they can be told it's their own fault for having accepted.
the argument for liberal arts education I always heard goes like this: "college is not to learn a specific skill, but more to better yourself for the real world" and I can't help but think how devoid that is from reality today. Maybe back in the 60's and 70's you could go to college to "broaden your horizons" but today only the wealthiest can afford to do that, everyone else needs a "reason" (that is what sort of job are you getting on the other end).

I think those classes are from a bygone era of when college was affordable and you could take a course "just to learn". Higher ed today is very different, I almost look at colleges are higher level trade schools if you're in CS, Engineering, etc.

The Dunning Kruger data is also just a statistical manipulation.
Equally broadly, there's huge pressure to report positive results. If the incentive structure were even tilted a bit to make reporting negative or ambiguous results less career-damaging, we would see much less of this. I don't think most scientists want to fudge the truth, but in many cases they feel that they have no choice.

The pressure in most of these sciences is to consistently get a paper for every expensive experiment that is done, but if you're doing that, and published work has to be a positive result, you're not really doing science. You could just publish your hypothesis and be done with it if you already know the result of the experiment will be ginned up in some way to be positive.
Surely there is something interesting that can be done with something that has such unusual properties, even if it's a corner case. It's basically a single-use "transistor" or "valve" for mechanical force.

Does the glass explode with enough force to be used as the primary detonator for a high explosive? I'm no explosives engineer, but seems like having an all-mechanical (no chemicals, no electricity) primary detonator could be useful in some situations where the system should be very stable for decades, like car airbags.

What about emergency release valves? Plug the release channel with the tough end of the drop. Use a simple mechanical system to break the weak end if the emergency conditions are met. e.g. a lever attached to a float that snaps the weak end if the fluid level is too high. That should work safely even in an environment full of flammable material.

Getting into more fanciful territory, could a professional assassin create one that was large enough to work as a hand grenade? Or encase the weak end in a jacket and then use it as a bullet with the tough end being seated in the case?[1] Seems like it could almost be a real-world version of the mythical "ice bullet", where after use there wouldn't be enough left for forensic analysis.

[1] Here's a video of someone shooting them from a shotgun, but there's no jacket or spin-stabilization to keep the weak end pointed at the target: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc9pPOrZ_0Q
From Outside of this weird polarization/persecution fetish bubble a lot of Americans seem to be in, the nytimes seems to be doing a decent job trying to be centrist with a left tinge.

Interesting. When I've been the one doing hiring, the cover letter was the single most important thing an applicant could supply. A resume/cv tells you work history, but a cover letter tells you about who the person is and gives clues about whether or not they'd be a good fit in the organization.

In my experience, assuming the applicant is competent, being a good fit is more important than things like what specific skills they have or what they're worked on in the past. You can train new applicants in whatever skills your specific position requires, but you can't train new applicants to work well with an existing team.

> Trying to stay closer to Debian and further away from Conical.

My thoughts are similar, therefore LMDE is the best choice!

Canonical's policy for several years goes into a bad side and reminds Microsoft more and more:

- He pushes to users with his sick ideas ONLY because of a business, for example many violations of privacy, spying for Amazon, Unity, obsessive forcing snaps (because they completely control the repository) ... etc. Here read more: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Host_Operating_System_Selection#...

- Ubuntu with every new version is getting worse and has more and more bugs, And with them all Ubuntu derivatives

- The publishing cycle issuing new versions using the force method at a fixed time limit, even when it is not fully ready and has full of unprotected errors (only marketing counts)

- LTS promises support and fixing errors, but does not keep the word and there are security errors never fixed

- Additional broker between Debian -> Ubuntu -> Mint increases the surface of attacks and errors in comparison to Debian -> Mint.

- Debian has been a bigger reputation from Ubuntu for many years. after all, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian, only broken along the way!

- The LMDE team makes a fantastic job, but LMDE is poorly visible in the galaxy and is very underestimated.

LMDE = All the best of Debian + all the best from Mint!
I'm glad I stopped Ubuntu over a decade ago. I didn't appreciate their "philosophy" nor technical choices.
from all of my experience

We are talking about the future.
The policies that cause 'publish or perish' to flourish are also heavily to blame here. If a scientist only is expected (or directly limited) to publish a handful of extremely good quality articles throughout their lifetime, they will likely make much more sure that the results are real.
The source is available under free licenses, so you can build and do with it what these licenses allow, which is basically anything.

Most serious companies however appreciate a proper business relationship with defined, vendor supplied builds, that they can plan with etc. Remember that somebody who builds from source can not call us asking for reactions of any kind.

That is were the EULA comes to value.
I (and very many others) very much like wearing our vision-aid glasses, thanks.

There is also an entire industry of eyewear crafted and worn just to look cool (sunglasses have not primarily been a protective aid in a very long time, they're fashion accessories now).

Of course all that's orthogonal to AR/VR, but the idea that "nobody wants to wear glasses" is a bit laughable.
Page titles (#) and web addresses ($) don't seem to work for me, but then they sound like they should be modifiers to the other search modifiers.

It should probably be noted that ^headphones like they suggest doesn't actually work, over here it only works with ^ headphones, since the ^ doesn't get applied until I press space and then the start of the address bar changes to "History" with a 'x' close option.

Looking at the article talking about this proposal, it appears that the requirement is actually that it's as easy to cancel as it is to sign up, not that it is "one click." A confirmation box is pretty standard practice in UX for destructive actions and it doesn't sound like that is prevented.

What the proposal DOES do is prevent dark patterns, like having to click through five screens of offers before cancelling. Overall this is a very poorly written article. But it's gizmodo so I'm not sure what else people are expecting!

The best statisticians I know are economists, but they don't know how to run a study to avoid the influence of outside variables.

The best experimenters I know in terms of monitoring and controlling external variables are chemists, but sometimes they just use the wrong statistical test.

Biologists seem to generally be bad at both, and physicists seem to generally be good at both. I honestly think this is about the culture of the fields rather than knowledge - they all start as good scientists and just unlearn what they don't "need."
>> While I'd personally love to see opt-in rather than opt-out telemetry

I think the vast majority of Linux users would not opt-in to any sort of telemetry. Some would consciously make a determination, but MS/Windows has trained the bulk of us to just say no to such things during any sort of install procedure. I personally would like telemetry to be done fully openly, with a running local text file showing in user-readable format exactly what has been shared in plain English.

If you believe in the Everett Interpretation, then he is wrong.

The Everett Interpretation, aka Many Worlds, holds that both observer and observed are quantum mechanical systems. From this it follows that the act of observation does not produce a "collapse", but it does separate the observer into multiple observers that can't interact with each other again.

So Schrödinger's cat is in a superposition of alive and dead before the box is opened, and after it is opened the observer is in a superposition of one who saw the cat alive, and the other who saw the cat dead. It feels bizarre, but there are no contradictions. And it is what quantum mechanics predicts.

For those who believe in this interpretation, there is a simple test of quantum gravity. Set up 2 Cavendish experiments to measure gravity. Based on whether there is a click in a Geiger counter, choose which one to put a cannon ball next to. Measure both.

This has been done, and we only see the gravity from the cannon ball that we placed, and not the alternate location it might have been placed at.

But believers in other interpretations of quantum mechanics will disagree that this experiment tests anything at all.

You had managers who "took the fall" for the team? The thread is about accepting blame and sacrifice, not about advocating for people under you
I think that's looking at it backwards. They both have more money than they can spend. They don't need something to be good for business. Rather, they need their business to be good for them. They grow their business to prove that their dicks are bigger -- metaphorically, until now.

They might even agree with that armchair diagnosis of megalomania. They'd just disagree that megalomania is a bad thing, if you are in fact the greatest human being in the world.

One does have to wonder what it will do for Musk's (metaphorical) dick if he manages to kill off Twitter -- not the lost money, which is pocket change, but the business failure. He certainly has SpaceX and Tesla to fall back on, and if he can push on to Mars everything else will be trivia.
