> Critical theory is not revolutionary.

True. It may overlap with revolutionary views, but is not, inherently, itself revolutionary. It is a view of what is, not a view of what should be done about it.

> Socially, it is dominant

No, its not.

> (particularly among that demographic).

There is essentially no demographic, other than one defined specifically by adherence to critical theory, for which this is true.

> It is actually truly revolutionary to disagree with it, e.g., take the stance that capitalism is an effective way of organizing labour.

This has been the dominant view, across society (at least, as weighted by social power, maybe not in pure number of adherents terms), in the developed West for longer than capitalism has had a name (which it got from people disagreeing with that dominant viewpoint in the mid-19th Century.)

It is not truly revolutionary to hold what is both the dominant elite viewpoint and the viewpoint supporting the dominance of the elites.
Ok, but I don’t see the things you proposing changing supply and demand dynamics, but rather controlling for absurd outliers and gaming of the system by management. I’m down for that. But it doesn’t change the dynamics I outlined.

Prosecutors don’t make more than defenders. They typically make exactly the same. A quick Kagi would confirm this.

I’m not sure how you’re getting to diagnosing me with a psychiatric disorder. I would be thrilled if the public funding model paid public defenders and teachers substantially more. But you would still seek the best lawyer you could afford, and that’s not my fault or a psychiatric condition on my part. That’s human nature. Thus lawyers are paid a lot. When you need a good lawyer, you pay for a good lawyer.
I will often do "TL;DR:" at the top when realize I've written rather more than I'd expected.
People do exactly this with Ks in policy debate - the same person presenting a K in one round will be defending against it in another round. Nationally competitive debaters don't (in my experience) choose Ks because they believe in them, but because they're tactically effective.

Well as a classic example, you could debate "the unemployment rate is going down – is it good or bad?" (well, the Phillips curve…) and ask with Horkheimer/Adorno, if the entire notion of discussing this in terms of a relative change to a statistical rate isn't normalizing a dysfunctional aspect of economy, regardless, where it's at. This is still a debate, but it shifts the core argument to a conceptually more fundamental level.
Yes, if it's a paid product. Think of it as a commission and a fraction of a profit.

This isn't a new idea. In the past companies paid for every showing of a show and a small fraction went to the people who made it. This is important since most performers have an expiration date when they are no longer relevant. It gave them a road to long lasting success even if they can't get a new job.

The problem is that this doesn't work the same way for streaming. This biases actors against streaming and results in problematic incentives. It requires a new model.
With all due respect to Stallman, that's some of the worst advice I've ever read. I guess I should have never learned to program, according to him, even though I have always been fascinated with it despite the uninspiring books I read.
You don't. You always keep learning.

What I wrote was for people who truly think there's some one truth they want to argue; to explain to them why this is valuable. The real value is that this method teaches you to see all sides, and gives you both compassion and the ability to determine and assert what you think is right in circumstances you haven't encountered before - to think on the fly without judging prematurely.
This is BS.

The TPM on x86-based computers, as it exists right now, is _not_ suitable at all for any of the above.
What’s amazing is that you have formed an absurd hostile image of bicyclists in your head and actually post as if that was normal.

When confronted, you immediately suspect a concerted action against you by a group of bicyclists. Sounds very paranoid to me.
m, M, w, W, %, @ and i, l, ! (and so on) are the letters that create a challenge (or a room for creativity/individuality) ad they are so wide or so narrow. Wide letters often get cramped as they need to share se witdh as narrower letters. iA thought they could just modify those “extreme” glyphs to increase legibility (and readability)
In the age of Covid, I think TOC is actually relatively accessible for most of the country (or anyone with internet and a laptop, at least). A large large majority of the points that allowed my partner and I to qualify for TOC this year were from online tournaments that most people could enter (in fact, tournaments that have extremely high entry fees, like Stanford, do not give NPDL points).

I do think that much of kritical debate is concentrated on the West Coast, though.
Show HN: 4164 Horse_ebooks tweets read by 17 Festival speakers
Horse_ebooks 2010-2013 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_ebooks ) was an early Twitter account operated by Russian webmaster Alexei Kouznetsov who operated a network of such accounts to message and broadcast affiliate-seeded links for 'ClickBank'. The accounts did not engage in predatory behavior and stayed under Twitter's RADAR. To draw traffic from Internet searches Kouznetsov curated a database of text snippets culled from other sources. These were not conversations or statements, they were often fragments, at times passionate but never obscene. Always short and every 2 hours on average. Lacking in context, often surreal.

Horse_ebooks became a phenomenon of the non-sequitir and had as many as 200,000 followers, and has inspired performance art as a Zeitgeist of modern times.

I wanted to create more of a Horse_ebooks 'seminar' than an audiobook, and CMU Festival offered 17 diverse useable voices. Perl scripts selected from a shuffled list of speakers at random, and a second pass with command line 'ecasound' assigned one of 5 stereo field positions to them. A batch for correcting EQ of one voice, and concatenation with ffmpeg. Final EQ and room acoustics in Audacity. The reading is 4h 11m. A list in order read is here: https://archive.org/download/horse-ebooks-audiobook/Horse_eb...
> It seems a similar story with the rest of git. I have hopes for gitoxide aka gix, and think the approach of library-first is correct going into the future. A CLI is then simply a thin wrapper around it, mapping argv to library operations basically.

It's worth noting that there is currently a push to "lib-ify` git internals and it's a gradual process. I'm not actually sure how much of this work has actually made it into the tree yet but I've been seeing patchsets towards that goal on the mailing list since at least January.
I'm guessing they mean that it's detectable by humans at a 3000x lower concentration than sugar.
I made Kubernetes into a library once. Like the apiserver and default controllers, running in-process. Copying and pasting were involved. I was not expecting support.

If code is out there under a compatible license, you can do whatever you want with it. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
So wouldn’t that mean that the part of your comment that I quoted can be simplified to:

> Plainly put: You can never truly arrive at or trust your own beliefs
You should be more reluctant to label someone as “not trustworthy”!

FWIW today is the first I’ve heard of Leah and I spent some time reading their website (vimuser.org) and they seem to be quite conscientious and thorough in explaining their work and the rationales behind it. This whole thing has kindled some interest in using a free boot loader on my system. Looking forward to trying it out.
The author (Maya Bodnick) was ranked #1 in the country in the 2019-2020 season.

That's also true, if you're honest with yourself and don't become ossified.

I should stipulate though that you can arrive at about 99% of your beliefs and know them thoroughly enough to know why you believe them, while still being willing to change your mind if you're given new evidence.
I’ve had lots of USB mini/micro B ports do this on various devices (not C so far). I’ve never even heard of it happening to a Lightning port, and I’ve been through a lot of iDevices over the past decade.
People suck, so this is a non-solution. Review sites that accept fraudulent reviews are worthless so this should be seen as an existential crisis. I think should delete any reviews that were found to come out before a book could have been read, delete any other reviews they've written, and permaban their accounts.
Brazilian Central Bank will be giving the system to other countries that might be interested IIRC.

The reason a lot of countries don't do this is likely private merchant or banks lobby.
I imagine it's the same way they measure scoville units.

It's sensitivity.

How much of the substance is required for a group of people to consistently correctly guess which of two identical water glasses have been spiked with the substance.

If it's like this then 1/3000 is required compared to sugar.
Silly question: is this reasonable or unreasonable from Apple? I could see it going either way.
The history of it goes back to the same era when the US implemented prohibition. Sweden had a referendum about having prohibition as well, but the prohibitionists lost by a small margin, so instead of banning alcohol sales, they just kept the pre-existing WW1 rationing of alcohol in place even after the war ended. Eventually the rationing was removed but the government monopoly was kept in place.
> some prolific volunteer commenting on a bug report there speaks in a manner that comes off as brusque or dismissive

Maybe they are being brusque and dismissive. Maybe they're allowed to. I know I use a somewhat different tone when I'm filing bugs against a project I've been submitting bug reports and patches to for ten years, run by a developer who I've known personally for 20 ;-)
USB mini/micro B ports can break off the PC board when they’re not anchored solidly.
interesting point. in which countries that would be 100% legal in general? BrightData is set up in Israel, right? Is that the case there? But I wonder if having a US entity (NY) they are bound to US jurisdiction for this. Also, what does that mean for all tooling that scrapes/d Twitter?
Your outrage at this seems to be analogous to outrage of people who think that it is horrible that Unix has a "kill" operation. Basically, you don't understand that "decolonization" is a metaphor for a broader historical perspective, and instead you're trying to interpret it literally and in a bad faith.
I mean we crowdfunded a space sim to the tune of $550M. I’m sure we can find a way to crowdfund a few dozen million for these folks.
Yeah I guess that could be better. I literally just read every comment by that user (not realizing it was the same person), thinking "oh dang this is rough" and then at the end seeing the "EDIT lol nm" and realizing I just totally got misled, AGAIN. Super uncool. If your text is proven false, I don't want to read it or even glance at it (or even have to scroll past it, or have my network/browser load it, for that matter).
It gets used that way in the tech-adjacent community of twitter. It's a very particular culture. I think it's a way of sort of re-claiming the autism label from being atypical to being a 'superpower'ish thing.
> you must put yourself in the position of one who believes the opposite of what you do

This presuppose that I even have a position to begin with ...

I don't understand why anyone would adopt a position before the discussion/debate - the whole point of which is to decide what is the factually correct position.
I wonder is having a US entity (brighdata ny) makes things complicated
You would send some probe complex that includes small scout aircraft. Literally, NASA has done this. From many vantage points, Earth is a water world with no intelligent life on it. Most operators would send an interstellar probe based on that assumption. Things like living organisms can be application-specific bio robots that are wholly unprepared for anything like contact. Really, sending a bunch of military hardware on a space probe is obviously absurd. We have examples of literal scientists building literal space probes and they literally don’t send them with weapons.
> a cohesive desktop OS

What would that look like, then?
>What do you think speed limits are for then?

In the presence of vulnerable bystanders or users of the road (e.g cyclists on city streets), limit serves as protection against fatal outcomes in case of an error. That's the only case where no one could argue against limit.

Does UK track average speeds in cities? I'm not familiar with their system. But aware that Dutch use it on highways to make everyone miserable. While their east neighbor doesn't have a default limit on highways at all while still having one of the best in the world highway safety record.

The algebraic properties are those that formalize arithmetic, so this encompasses almost any reasonable system
Maybe they used 1/3000 the quantity of sugar and people rated each sample to be equally sweet.

Edit: it is based on weight compared to sucrose [1], so I happened to be right!

Ask HN: Is it worth making products that are not AI today?
Perhaps. Or maybe there is a completely different purpose in this exercise. We could pick a topic like "Passing by reference is better than passing by value". In the end we might not care at all about "getting to the truth." The topic could be "salt tastes better than pepper."

The point of this exercise could be to learn that "nine out of ten dentists" arguments are flawed and why. It could be to practice listening skills to be able to "flow" the points of discussion.

These practices might not be to get at the truth of any particular argument, but to learn methods to get at the truth of any and all arguments.
Anecdotal counterpoint about "yelling". I was having a conversation with my mother at a Cafe. After 15mins the lady next to us, very genuinely and nicely, asked if we were ok because we were yelling at each other. We're Italian. That was our normal conversation!

Someone's definition of aggressive discourse is definitely not everyone's.
It has happened before. But it doesn’t really matter whether that’s what’s happening here, as it doesn’t affect how you need to deal with it.
Socrates was already complaining about the sophists and their ability to argue for and against everything (destroying every truth on the way).

Don't get me wrong, I love arguing and rhetorics, but there are people who abandoned all sense of truth and rationality in debate. Rhetorics are a weapon, and like every weapon it should be wielded by people who know that with great power comes great responsibility.
Sure, one can argue about objective truth and whether it actually exists, but many who wield rhetorics don't give a damn about any truth, be it objective or subjective — they care about winning. And they don't care about the price everybody has to pay for that win.

Despite that I still think putting yourself in a different position to defend is a good lesson, but the goal of rhetorical training shouldn't be to form ruthless mercenaries, but thinkers who can wield the word and still admit they are wrong in an actual, real world debate, when they are shown to be so.

If you are one of those people (like me) who likes debate for debates sake, you have to be especially careful. Like people who like to use guns we have to be especially aware when we use it and for what reason.

Most people who use their rhetoric have never been given the moral compass to wield it.
77.8% as large, if you include the curved edges. But considering the format of content, the useful area difference is larger. If you're watching a 16:9 youtube video, the Pixel 7 Pro only has 64% the screen area of the Nexus 7, and that's with treating the couple millimeters wrapped around the edges as valid surface.
Wait til you hear about the new sign!
That's because Central Bank have a design guideline for Pix, and mandates where and how they should be on the app!
The way policy debate works (traditionally) is that the affirmative side gets to choose a particular policy to advocate within a broad space. A negative side that sticks to refuting the particular details of that policy is putting themselves at a severe disadvantage - they're always going to be behind in research and debate experience on that topic relative the affirmative (unless maybe they happen to use that same policy proposal themselves when assigned the affirmative). So debaters have used generic negative strategies for many decades, not just meta-critiques of their opponents discursive approach or assumptions ("Ks") but also "disadvantages" based on generalities like "your proposal will use up political capital and prevent Y from happening", and topicality arguments, where e.g. there might be two (or more) facially plausible interpretations of what's in scope for the topic, and they'll argue that whichever the affirmative has used to justify their proposal is incorrect.

Debate is competitive. Yes, each side wants to "get one over" or "blindside" their opponent, but that's not different with the K than with any other creative argument or novel bit of research, and at higher competitive levels everyone is going to be quite comfortable debating the K (at least since the 1990s).
I guess for the same reason many mods have lousy performance.

They are written by people that kind of dabble in Java, not people that are actually knowledgeable in the ways of Java and the JVM.
Recently I've seen that in our city new street lights on minor roads near buildings usually have a special form and lower height specifically to counter this problem
might do good for you to google the minimum length principle (MDL). minimum length classifier has been used for image classifying, so not a new invention. our research group used minimum description length for generating new test material. the archive test suite that found several cvs from the gzip itself was done like so also.
They preclude ASCII, but not Unicode diagrams.

Unicode block characters have constant width.

Unicode also contains fixed-width equivalents to ASCII letters: ａｂｃ. Just add 0xFEE0 to the code point.

And 0x3000 is an ideographic space, with the same width.

> We aren't going to journals

I do. Some of my peers do and some don't. It differs between fields and you're probably from CS (peer reviewed conferences) where progress is often faster than publication cycle, but it is not like that everywhere.

And it is important role which cannot be disregarded just because it doesn't match your idea of best possible promotion scheme.

Centuries? Can you elaborate? Peer review in journals as we know it is less than 100 years old.
What's an inferential system that is not axiomatic?

>> It is to improve your critical thinking and to recognize various techniques used against you in everyday life.

This is right on the money. That's why it's a shame to short-circuit any debate by conflating the person taking a side with the side they're taking. Come to think of it, that's also a great reason why it's good to force debaters to take both sides... because neither can be held liable as it's not "their" opinion, and they're free to use their minds without fear of being judged.
It's extremely low effort so even if just a tiny % pays it's still very lucrative.
I doubt it. The libreboot maintainer is just unstable and willing to cause huge amounts of drama whenever possible.
This already happens in Brazil ;)
doesn't is suffice to say that functions meet all the prerequisites of a vector space?

f + g = g + f

f + (g + h) = (f + g) + h

f + -f = 0

(a * b) * f = a * bf

a (f + g) = af + ag

(a + b) * f = af + bf

Sounds awful. All of the taste, none of the nutrition. Anything but moderation. We shouldn't be indulging the lack of moderation.
Those lucky scientists. The picture is honestly breathtaking.

Can’t even begin to imagine how they must have felt in actually being there…in the cold, sitting in the small watercraft inching closer by the minute as the operator navigates what looks to be an ice-minefield, and finally being face to face with the phenomenon…up close and personal.

What an amazing thing to experience. Something that a camera just can’t capture.

Wow.
Show HN: Sshield, a secure(r) SSH agent written in Rust
sshield is a drop-in SSH agent replacement written in Rust which stores keys in an encrypted SQLite database instead of in ~/.ssh. I opted to use russh, which is a Rust implementation of the SSH protocol and ssh-agent for greater memory safety.

It allows importing settings and keys from OpenSSH as well as creating, updating, showing and deleting keys. Whenever a program requests using the key for signing, a prompt is displayed to the user for confirmation.

This way:

1. Your keys don't get leaked (unless the server process' memory is dumped, but that requires root on *nix systems)

2. Your keys don't get misused and inadvertedly sign something malicious.

It is still a work in progress, but I've been able to switch with fairly minor inconveniences that are just the result of not having it globally installed. The repo will soon have a Nix overlay or package output with all the right settings enabled for daily production usage.

Other planned features include using one of the Linux sandboxing APIs, like Landlock or seccomp to further lock down server process to reduce the chance of an RCE being triggered and a way to store the database on different cloud storage mediums so you can use their ACLs to further lock down access to the database and back up keys simultaneously.
