Brand is not being executed. There has never been a principle in US or English law that you have to do business with everyone all the time. There are, in modern times, certain protected classes that you cannot discriminate against. Otherwise, you are free not to do business with someone, or to set the terms on which you are willing to do business with them. Alleged rapists are not a protected class.

In fairness there is a discussion that needs to be had about private businesses that have the de facto power to wreck people's lives if they decide to de-platform them. I think that applies more to businesses like banks and payment services providers that can literally make it difficult for you to obtain food and shelter than it does to social media or content hosting platforms, which are relatively easy to self-host. In any event, it has nothing to do with the criminal law concept of "innocent until proven guilty".
Before let/const, scopes could only be introduced at function level, so @babel/plugin-transform-block-scoping transpiles it using an extra function:

var _loop = function (i) {
a.push(() => i);
};
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
_loop(i);
}

The key is that the scoping happens for each iteration, not around the entire loop. That detail is nonobvious, given how many other languages have gotten it wrong, but I wouldn’t say it’s wild.

(If you’re curious how Babel deals with the more complicated cases of break/continue, labelled break/continue, and return, try it out at https://babeljs.io/repl.)
> I wasn’t sure what type of math function would work for this

Usually people use "easing functions", which are convenient since they typically have a range and image both in [0.0 .. 1.0] [1] (although sometimes the range is slightly above 1 or below 0 to produce some "effect"). CSS has a cubic-bezier function [2] that can be used to replicate pretty closely all sorts of easing functions.

Functions that look like an "S" when plotted are called "sigmoids", a popular one used in graphics applications is called "Smoothstep" [3].

Dear Community,

Here is the second update regarding the issue:
We have prepared a bash script that you can use to check the presence of malware in your system.

Launch Instructions:

Download the linux_malware_check.sh script and give it execute permissions.

You can do this by running:
chmod +x linux_malware_check.sh.

Execute the script by running: ./linux_malware_check.sh.
Please note that this script only identifies whether the mentioned potential threats are present on your computer, it does not remove them. If malware is detected, it is highly recommended to reinstall the system.

We once again sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that might have been caused.
I’d say valuing shorter syntax is better which is subjective, but then measuring it is objective. Requiring 3 chars per variable is silly when many languages only require 1
Understandable. Thank you for the reply, great product, best of luck!
Absolutely not. You can sue for being discriminated against based on a protected class (as said in the sibling comment), but otherwise the entire internet hinges on platforms being able to ban people who they "don't like or agree with" since they usually disagree on 'how much spam is acceptable' or 'whether hardcore porn should exist on YouTube.com'.
what should be policy is that the educational parts of such counseling should be part of the general school curriculum. children need to learn to care for each other, to listen to each other and respect and love each other. there is a lot you can teach about friendships and relationships in school that doesn't need to be done in the intimate situation of couples counseling.

A reasonable point, but the lack of transparency from YouTube's end means their pitch to content creators is basically 'trust us.' There's no way for new entrants to the market to predict how much they can make in proportion to views, so they're incentivized to just chase the lowest common denominator all the time.
Ten-ish years ago, Google was still trying to make Google Plus work. I don't think it's been a particularly competent company for a long time.
I have no right to enter a Walmart store, or any store. Private businesses can refuse service to anyone. They can make rules up, like I must wear shirt and shoes. Some restaurants refuse service if I don’t wear a jacket and tie. Aside from discriminating against protected minorities and ADA violations, businesses have considerable leeway when it comes to whom they choose to serve, or not.

Look at how Elon Musk arbitrarily treats people he doesn’t like, or who criticize him, on Twitter. He’s probably not breaking any laws. He owns the platform, he gets to make the rules. No one has to use it, and no one has a right to use it.

Reality may not match how you or I would like the world to work, or what we think of as fair.
I would even say normal is a stretch, even on average. At least in my area of expertise, a whole host of new jobs are available now than they were five years ago. There are so many more remote/hybrid jobs that were around before, healthcare is still seeing shortages, manufacturing/fabrication jobs are plentiful like I can’t remember, and the effects of “college bad, trade schools good” have left us with less engineers than can be utilized, across man disciplines, as college enrollments continue to fall.

This is just anecdotal data, from m monitoring of various job sites regularly over the years. Of course, it could be that Indeed, Linkedin, etc have gotten more popular over the years, but I see increases everywhere. The local hospitals were laying people off in 2018-19 for example, while now they are seeking doctors, nurses, EVS, Bio-Med, and many other positions.
The letter of the law allows anyone to be guilty of rape, in the U.S. at least (as opposed to the UK).
That's only half of it. It's a question of fidelity. If I am genuinely interested in reading about the latest celebrity gossip or a local crime story, ad tech sites with videos and irritating things flying across the screen is actually what I'm looking for.

I would assume that those lists are internal, but if you look at their acquisition history, it seems like pretty much any company that is profitable and can help them in an area they're involved in, even if indirectly. Look at how they snapped up Mojang (Minecraft) and Activision, which gives them a ton of leverage in gaming. But also Github, which combined with VSCode gives them a ton of leverage in the developer space.

It's pretty incredible to me that this kind of stuff still gets discussed by executives over email in this day and age. Not that this content is particularly scandalous (beyond the fact that they're talking about acquiring Nintendo like it's not a big deal, man they really aren't worried at all about antitrust regulation) but it's extremely candid about their overall strategy and they have to know these emails becoming public record due to discovery in some such lawsuit or hack is a big possibility.

Check his own FAQ.
They cost about 250,000 each from what I read. If the constellation is 10K satellites that is 2.5 billion every 5 years. If revenue is $80 per month per subscriber, you need about half million subscribers to break even.

This doesn't include launch costs, but starship is supposed to minimize that further. Add in other overhead, then 1 million subscribers is well within spitting distance of break even.
I would expect these are more likely to be used either for testing or for very niche applications, and would never be expected to be competitive for general purpose workloads. So I'm not too surprised by the cost.
Everyone is debating whether "theft prevention" is the valid argument.

That's like banks blaming you for "identity theft". No, the bank failed to safeguard your identity or validate your transactions.

Similarly here, the valid argument, and target of such changes, is unscrupulous “repair” shops, aka the market makers for these stolen parts.

Whether cars, or phones, after-market repairs are riddled with hazards, and it's not those shops that end up in the news when someone's brakes fail, tire treads separate at speed, or a Samsung or iPhone explodes their face off.

The SimulaVR can't even run Office natively, right? The hobbyists who purchase it will need to use LibreOffice or run Office until emulation, correct?

In contrast, Vision Pro users will be able to run Microsoft Office natively, with an interface optimized for the device.

Where we don't disagree: For you and other folks who need a literal desktop (nosetop?) PC, SimulaVR is clearly the answer.
> How long into the future is an achievable and desirable duration for encryption (barring any rapid, unforeseen paradigm shift)?

I don't think "years of expected security" (as used to be popular for e.g. RSA key lengths for some time) is a meaningful metric anymore:

AES-256 and elliptic curve encryption are resistant against classical attackers until beyond the heat death of the universe, so their "time of security" is, for practical purposes, infinite.

I'd expect that, for quantum-safe asymmetric algorithms as well as for AES, there is a similar number corresponding to fundamental pyhsical infeasibility, and then we can also just pick that rather than any low or high number of years.
> If someone or something is doing it for you (and others) automatically then it eliminates the 'payment' and undermines producers ability to produce.

Doesn't it also undermine producers ability to produce if you just get really good at quickly looking away?

It seems from your argument the "case could be made" that it's at least a little unethical to not spend at least a little while paying attention to each ad when reading a newspaper.

Like there's some scale where the left side has "0 attention spent, 0 ethical" and the right side has "maximum attention spent, maximally ethical".
Kafka can sustain sub 20ms at millions or even billions per second scale. Processing time delays is bad consumer code and partition design smell. Aka , your consumer shouldnt depend on a slower resource within an ordering domain. This can also be mitigated with an async consumer
They're all just superellipses.
No one is forcing you to argue that position. You said “my phone has never been stolen… Apple shouldn’t solve this… sell me a steal-able phone”.

My counter is that a primary reason you never had a stolen phone is the anti-theft solutions implemented by private companies.

Personally, I think removing the incentives to theft is a great way to reduce it, and this is particularly effective. Sure repair-ability would be nice, but I repair it so infrequently and it’s sufficiently cheap that I don’t mind. As an example, expecting the police to successfully hunt and remedy every petty theft of all the phones that would be stolen instead would be a lot less resource efficient for society. We have enough crime as is that the police have better things to do than fail to find a lost phone.

I used to work data entry as a research assistant, for some non-profit academia.

We saw flaws in the data collection - basically the people tasked to collect data were being lazy and some were making stuff up. We know the made up stuff when we see it. Outliers are fine and some groups do better than expected, but an entire group from one data collecter shouldn't be 100% outliers.

But we had to enter the data anyway. We were told to smooth the bad data to what was expected. So the outliers that were low were smoothed high, the high outliers were left alone because they seemed right. But those of us who were spending hundreds of hours on data entry had an intuitive feel of what an outlier looked like.

IMO everything should have been entered as is and the computer data would just be filtered out if it was deemed from a corrupt source. But the data in the computer was biased to match what the research wanted to prove.

So I agree that non-profits can be corrupt too, just because of the incentives each part of the way. We were being paid about half a cent per column of data. So some assistants were lazy and filling in data that could be right, or skimming on fields like address which are longer and less likely to be flagged.

> Courts continually hold that a business must serve persons they don’t like or agree with.

In the US, at least, generally only when the act at issue would discriminate on a specific, enumerated, legally protected basis that applies to the business and business transaction in question, and if the business does not have some right (including its First Amendment rights) that trump the specific application of the law in question in the context of the actual act at issue.

The exception is for the fairly narrow set of businesses to which stricter neutrality regulations apply, like phone companies, but that’s a very small set of businesses.

What Is Happening to Cuba's Numbers Station?
It makes perfect sense if you consider that String Templates don't just support interpolation, but also /escaping/ of values. Therefore, Java's existing syntax for escaping stuff is the obvious choice for consistency reasons. If interpolation is all you want, use `STR`. In the future, we will see libraries with template processors for regex patterns, SQL, XML, etc.

They say that the new licence does not apply to existing installs. However, those installs are counted for determining if you cross the new sales threshold. That is a prospective change.

You're complaining that the licence for runtime instances should be locked to the one that was in existence when you wrote the game (using the editor). This is entirely reasonable, but not a right you have under the old or the new licence. They could change it again!

The model has little to do with the electric field and much more to do with the probabilistic mechanics that underly observable phenomena. The fact that such phenomena are observable, stable, repeat, mean the probabilistic models underlying them are special. But the generative AI process has nothing to do with electricity or thermodynamics. Cool that insights from physics are useful in statistics (which has a rich history of such examples)

That's likely simply because they don't want to switch fingerprint formats again just yet. (They are currently in the process of upgrading the format for a non-cryptographic reason [1].)

Signal fingerprints, which users can manually verify in person or over a trusted channel, are just hashes over the public keys of both users involved – and if these keys change (e.g. due to a quantum upgrade), the format would need to change as well.

Update: Seems like that's actually due to a fundamental restriction of the quantum-safe primitives used and is addressed in the technical specification [2]:

> The post-quantum KEM and signature schemes being standardized by NIST [...] do not provide a mechanism for post-quantum deniable mutual authentication [...]

Seems like Signal's neat trick of using Diffie-Hellman in a three-way manner [3] doesn't work here, since the primitive used (FIPS 203, [4]) is only a key encapsulation method, and FIPS 204 only offers "regular" post-quantum signatures of the non-deniable kind.

Signal highly values deniability, and in this version they seem to have prioritized that in favor of quantum-safe mutual authentication.

Of the two comprehension syntaxes in Haskell, Python picked the wrong one. Do notation (or, equivalently, Scala-style for/yield) feels much more consistent and easy to use - in particular the clauses are in the same order as a regular for loop, rather than the middle-endian order used by list comprehensions.

And if you are wrong, are you also willing to apologize for hasty decision making? Or will you hide behind the crowd and say 'well everyone else said X!'
