We seem to be making some variations of the same point here. The implication I was trying to draw out is that in GGP's "natural" aristocracy, there is a separate power structure that maintains that society's shape. That means that the "natural" aristocracy is neither natural nor an aristocracy, since it is artificially maintained and is subordinate to the separate power structure.
I wanted to share a library I have been using for multi-objective optimization that I think deserves a bit more visibility. I've found Pymoo to be the best and most modular library to experiment with evolutionary algorithms and custom-defined black-box optimization problems, mainly for issues I encounter in hardware design or unique challenges that arise in my research. Most libraries I've seen are limited in their extensibility, mainly due to the way the API is designed. Although a bit lacking in documentation, the API and the code for Pymoo have been a joy to use, read, and extend for many of my use cases.
I far prefer fonts that are accessible to the most people. Anti-dyslexia fonts might be too odd at first, so I avoid using those for now. I've read that sans-serif is best for text on screens, and serif for text on paper. The font should err on the side of larger rather than smaller. Functional is beautiful.

It’s more on the Croatian side, but the languages are basically the same.

Yes, but I guess the neutral spirit of your comment is just “Things are getting out of hand so maybe we should all just cook for ourselves”

I'd say it's pretty crappy ui if a new user can't immediately identify what's causing the beeping. If I'm in car going highway speeds and it starts yelling at me not knowing what to do will result in a more dangerous situation.
I saw that constellation the same weekend. It was stupendous, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

If I hadn't heard it described to me before, I might've worried it was a train of ICBMs or something. I've seen more satellites than I can count, I saw two of them that night before I spotted Starlink, but it was unlike anything I'd ever seen. There were so many of them, at first I thought it was a contrail.

A thought I had shortly after was, "if there ever is an alien invasion, it will look exactly like that."
Fraud is a crime, what good is "insurance" here?
It does make a difference if the resulting SQL is unperformant.

Someone who is good at SQL can look at a query and see where the query planner might go wrong, then make subtle tweaks to get better performance. Optimizing queries in a compile-to-SQL language basically has to be left to the compiler, which may not have the context needed to write performant SQL.

Compiling a query is different than compiling a whole program to assembly, because the query makes assumptions about schemas and indexes that cannot be encapsulated in what you're feeding to the compiler at that moment.
As far as reputation goes it looks like Caesars paid the $10m ransom after having the loyalty member db exposed with drivers licenses and social security numbers. They also have no real guarantee the data stolen will be deleted.

Still might be better for them being a "quiet" incident as opposed to disrupting operations like mgm.
I don’t think this is hard at all, especially in the tech industry when you can easily find a different (likely better) job. I’ve flat out refused things on ethics grounds multiple times in my career (startup life is like that), and while it resulted in me leaving the company twice, once I got promoted, and most of the time I experienced no repercussions personally at all and the person being unethical was dealt with.

Ethics is a personal choice and if you have strong ethics, refusing to commit fraud is effectively a no-brainer. There’s no difficulty to this decision. Your “boss” at work isn’t actually in charge of your actions, you get to choose how you want to live your life on your own terms. Most managers are incompetent and sleazeballs abound in business. There is effectively no leverage these assholes have over you except continued employment working for asshole liars.

Publishing null results is the opposite of harmful
yeah, and the test is not relevant, so it should no longer be used, and instead people should be hired on past projects and skills, perhaps on a 2 week trial.
Just an opinion: "I think this data set is valuable, and I want to keep it available for use in free countries. After some thought, I think the best solution is the one you propose: go ahead and ban me in Denmark."

Shorter version: "Your move, asshole."

But that's just me, and it's easy to talk big when it's not your neck on the line. So I reckon you should go with what you think; you're the one in the firing line if they figure out how to come after you.
That seems like a pretty significant limitation. Bulk entity matching is an art form outside of the scope of many. To enable meaningful comparisons, as many identifiers as possible need to be included.
To me this seems shameless and of poor taste.
Like, you better not make a good game that is installed more than once.

Pay-per-install seems like a really bad way to charge dev costumers by. E.g. a nice long lived game will be charged way more than shovelware, due to users reinstalling when they buy new machines.
I think it’s a little different when we’re talking about classified documents and national security. I’m ready to assume Israel has nuclear weapons. It’s a shame NASA’s independent study team did not review classified reports.
What's the practical benefit over just sharding a decryption key and handing out multiple shards to each person?

Does anyone know of a tool like this that’s maintained?

I actually would like to use this for a fairly out there use case but it hasn’t been updated in 3 years and it doesn’t look like the author has even been active on GitHub since that time.

1. You need all the shards of the key to decrypt the text instead of just reaching a threshold.

2. The full encrypted text is available to each person, making it vulnerable to a brute force attack at some point in the far future.

I'm not entirely sure if this implementation actually covers that second point though. It could be including the entire encrypted text with each copy. But it would theoretically be possible to protect against brute force attacks in that way.
> Putting the FROM first isn't sufficiently compelling on its own.

Personally I see that as not even neutral, it's a downside. Optimizing for autocomplete is an antipattern, code is read far more often that it's written and the SELECT clause is the interface to the following code. It should be easy to find when skimming, not buried in the query.

The SELECT clause is also akin to an assignment and it's extremely rare I see anyone advocating flipping the order of those to match what they say they want in SQL.

Edit: Since I'm sure someone is going to jump on it, yes, I'm conflicted about the WITH clause: It's extremely useful and I like what it does, so I do use it, but I don't like where it's positioned. I've been toying with indentation to work around it so SELECT is still just as visible as otherwise.

the problem is that leetcode style interviews are used by all companies now and not a % of the market.

what you fail to see just like most other engineers is that it is being used to discriminate and as a tool for keeping compensation under control.
This is a story I had no idea about until recently and happens to overlap with conferences and topics of my research. I started my Ph.D. a few years after all this went down, but it's still shocking to think this happened in a field I submit to and I still had no idea about.
The rule to use is this:

If your employer asks you to do something and there is no moral imperative to to what is being asked, even if you do not think it is wise to do it, just do it.

If your employer asks you to do something that has some moral imperative, you need to ask yourself if doing this makes your moral standards, are you willing to compromise your moral standards or will you stand upright and be the man and face the consequences from your employer.

Either way, you will face consequences and if you fail your own moral standards you have to live with that.
I would go with "I was not present for any penetration testing at launch, and I'm unable to find any reports related to it. However, penetration testing done that long ago would have little current value anyway. What I will do is talk to my leaders and get regular penetration testing scheduled, and get that schedule to you asap".

That sounds like a great slogan for a kinky dating web site.

It's relevant because good sex probably has a diminishing effect on polarization between the participants.

Or in some encounters, among the participants. :)

To be clear I’m not saying China somehow invented the idea, but the scale, breadth, and depth is unparalleled in history.
The nuance is resolved in the courts. Presumably the judge would allow you to change the assigned sex when that is justified, after which you should no longer have the same problem because you were able to change your assigned sex to match your personal circumstances, and you'd have a document to prove it (or a photo of the document on your phone, at least).

However, you seem to be arguing that it's better to leave things as they are, in which there are no clearly defined rules, and whether there is "acceptance of difference and nuance" is a wild guess, depending on who you run into.

So in the worst case, every single time that someone makes up a fuss, you might be arrested and/or have to go in front of a judge. Every. Single. Time. Because you'd have no document that would clearly say "it's always OK for you to go to these bathrooms". I really don't see how that is better...

I forget what it's called, but something like "airplane view" architecture is also bad urban design. It's when centralized planners have lofty goals and design huge neighborhoods and plazas that look good from the air. There are towers, gigantic lawns, and a projection of power rather than chaos. There are various Latin American cities guilty of this. I'm struggling to recall the words and examples, so please help me out!

Good riddance, boys; if your product can only run on ads because people won't pay for it, you know you have a shitty product. We need higher quality games in the market, not higher quantity of your chaff.
Assuming you have python installed on the system, yeah.
Sure, you can want that but if you want to win, you have to play the game that's there, not what you'd personally want. Of course, you can reject that game for a different one but then you lose out on its benefits, such as massively higher pay.
My family lives there. It's considered mild relative to the Arctic, one of the harshest environments on earth, but it's not compared to most places people actually live. Hurricane force winds and blizzards are extremely common during the winter months. You can open the windows in spring and summer if you're willing to deal with the bugs (which don't include mosquitos, thankfully), but you'll mainly be outside already trying to get your annual supply of vitamin D. Storms are fairly common most months, like everywhere else in the North Atlantic.
I was thinking of cold emailing some professors and implementing some random papers/reading one of their papers beforehand

This should be the right order:

1. Read papers about topics that interest you

2. Implement/modify one of the papers, put it on GH with a detailed README and pretty plots

3. Contact authors and offer ideas and/or free labor to expand/continue their work

This worked for me to get into research.
Exactly what goes on inside such groups? How are the candidates trained?

Do you think that some undeserving candidates get in because of the polish?

Do candidates from here go on to do hard subjects like Maths, CS, Chemistry, etc.? Or most are buying the Harvard tag through easier degrees? What percentage of successful candidates go on to do STEM vs. Gender Studies/similar?

You’ve given me something to think about. Luckily, I only have to amend my mental model a bit, to assume giving a permission to any vendor’s app is to give that permission to every app from that vendor. In most cases where that would be a problem, I already run such apps under a separate user profile, which fully prevents IPC.
> I wish there was a new standard for that, instead of everyone brewing their own thin client app soup

One hundred million times THIS. It’s truly insane how much wasted human effort has gone into half-assedly recreating the same UI patterns over and over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. If we had this standardized from the beginning, the human race would span the solar system, there would be no war, no hunger, no famine, cancer would be cured, and things would generally be pretty rad.

But alas.
Didn't GOFAST/GIMBAL and the Nimitz tic-tac video leak? That could have given them convenient choices to look like they were cooperating.

Could they be covering something up? I can't say it's impossible.

I'm just saying that between the tendency towards overclassification, the UFO stigma, and seemingly legimitate counterintel concerns, it doesn't seem like this refusal is evidence of a cover-up in and of itself.
Question:

Do you think he pined for the establishment of and recognition of an American aristocracy?

I took from the reading less that Jefferson was desirous of it, and more that he recognized the inevitability of something indistinguishable from it arising, and wishing to somehow thumb the institutional scales as it were to amplify the "aristocrat by virtue" rather than merely the "aristocrat that came into it by heritance". He was very concerned with the tendency of heritable wealth to snowball, but, also to result in increasingly incompetent wielders thereof.

Remember, this is the same guy who wanted a new Constitutional Convention every 19 years when the next generation came of age, and mandatory sunsets on all acts of government. To be clear, if you were an aristocrat in charge of things/in a position of power in Jefferson's imagined world, you were not in for a fun time. Wielding that power would be a hell of a lot of retread ground over and over and over and over. In fact, the only way to exercise power in that circumstance, would have been knowing how to use it effectively. There'd simply be no room for maintaining your personal capricious self-edifying precipises of power, because of the sheer effort of keeping them in place against the march of time, and the agreeableness of those you're sharing the world with, and who ultimately bear the burden of doing the work.

The system we have now, (First pass the post, and once it's in it's in forever) is quite the opposite.
Casinos are a luxury vice where participation is optional. Hospitals are a necessity of society who know that they will be supported by the government if required. I also believe it is technically illegal to pay the ransom, and given the tight connection between hospitals and government, may have more red-tape to sign off on such an action.
Related, I’m currently in Greece and the price of locally produced peaches is higher here than the price of the same Greek-produced peaches is in Romania (from where I’m from). Noticed it today and it blew my mind, not sure how the people of Greece put up with this bs (the price of gasoline is also way higher).

Surely you mean _not_ publishing null results? From what I understand, null results are just as scientifically important to publish as alternative results, they just aren't published as often because they aren't as exciting.
When most people say walkable they mean safe to walk in. The trains don’t make it unsafe, and other than commuting you can do a fair amount using just walking or a bike because of the preponderance of small businesses that are safe to walk to. And you walk to and from the train station.

This is mostly meant to contrast to non-walkable spaces, where to walk to a store in an American suburb often means walking in a 3 ft wide path next to 55mph traffic and the crosswalks for said road are a half mile apart, if you’re lucky. The safe paths are circuitous if they exist and the pedestrian signals, if you can get a green one, may take minutes to cycle to and give you thirty seconds to cross 6+ lanes.
Interview with the Developers of Dredge (Black Salt Games) at the Bitsummit 2023
Funny, because Google denied my Hole genre game that was real multiplayer. Their reason was that it was too similar to Hole.io, which was single player.
Edit 2: after seeing the replies, my revised advise is to schedule a cheap pen test (can be done in less than a week for less than $2k) and tell the client “Our next pen test is scheduled for next week”. Doesn’t need to be harder than that. Pen tests for satisfying compliance requirements are easy, cheap, and quick.

-

My advice: get on the zoom call and when asked about the pen test, repeat something like “we have a security policy in place that obligates us to do a penetration testing at least annually”

(Assuming you have such a policy. If you don’t, then you and your company is out of your league selling to governments)

Assuming you have a basic set of security policies (almost all of which will say you’ll do pen tests annually), just repeat the line like “we have a security policy in place that obligates us to do a penetration testing at least annually”

And if you’re asked again more specifically whether you’ve done one in the past year, don’t answer directly and repeat the quote again.

The key here is do say the maximum amount of (positive for your company) truthful information and deflect or redirect away from questions where the truth would hurt the sale. Engineers often have trouble with this because it’s most engineers have a tendency to want to answer questions directly and literally.

And, make sure the sales rep is in the call. If the client backs you in a corner and you don’t know how to redirect or deflect, then you hand the baton to the sales guy.

Edit: Or, just do a freaking pen test. You can get one done in less than 2 weeks for less than $2k.
Questions swirl around Xi’s motives after 2nd top minister disappears in China
I'm seeing now that it was a proposition not a question (I read it as "Is it" rather than "It is"), my mistake there. But I would've responded in the same way regardless, so substitute this with, "you proposed something and I responded to it."
my first reaction is that the author is a student of religion, and expands and retells modern religious evolution. You could say that the writing gives "voice" to religious thought. This topic of study and publication alone is in large contrast to many non-religious or even religious-hostile comments here on YNews

second note is that "voice" is not an accidental word.. it is literally human sound, in religious context, to others who understand it that way.. Generally, to read words, almost always means repeating the sounds in your mind with meaning at the same time.

In my view, religion is significant, is not "fake", does provide meaningful ways to see the world and is relevant to human coping and human discovery. The sounds of voice giving names to change, threats, adversity, some-definition of Evil, etc.. do matter in my view and also the view of Haberman. So I chose to amplify that writing, called a voice, with a comment here, to draw attention to the work, its inquiry, its contents and the value system that is related to those..
I'm not against bicycles and electric bikes. I'm against "not" electric motorcycles. If your e-bike goes beyond 20MPH under power and goes beyond twenty miles in range then the primary mode of locomotion isn't supposed to be the pedals. The pedals at that point are a backup, like a reverse moped.

Ideally we'd return back to the 1890s-1910s with public transport consisting of fixed line trolleys or light rail covering distances larger than five or six blocks while walking or bicycling covers distances less than that. That's where EV technology would be ideal because you could run a combination of overhead, third rail, and battery power depending on available infrastructure and space, all using the same cars city or town wide.
