My rule of thumb in these situations is always: if they could, they would.

I've seen enough blatant disregard for humanity to assume any kind of honesty in the powers that were.
Probably because some code already defines “bool”, “true”, and “false”, so adding those to an existing header would break it.
> Across the 27 EU member states, more than a quarter of Europeans between 15 and 29 years old reported living in overcrowded conditions in 2022

For those curious about what "overcrowding rate" means here, I assume it's this definition from Eurostat: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

It's not entirely clear to me if this is intended to be the sum of the criteria, but even if it is, I suspect people taking a survey are not going to be able to parse that correctly.

Also not defined: Whether bathrooms are considered "rooms" for this purpose.

Assuming bathrooms are not considered separate rooms, it seems the only way to be overcrowded is if you have people sleeping in common areas, or more than 1 to a bedroom if not a couple (2 to a bedroom is fine for couples, 12-17 year olds of the same gender, or children under 12).

I live in a city where the housing situation is quite dire and I still don't anyone between ages 18-29 living in such conditions. Lots of people do live in very tight spaces though (less than 75 square feet to a bedroom, with very little common area space) which to me seems like it should be considered overcrowded, but the definition given would consider this fine, whereas two unpartnered adults sharing a 600 square foot studio with a divider would be considered overcrowded
Major's government was pretty unstable, with multiple scandals, rebellions etc. And they competently destroyed some public services. I would say his govt is responsible for the now dismal state of public transport in the UK.

I hated Tony Blair when he was in govt, and I did like John Major. Reevaluating later, Blair's government was more competent, stable and presided over a positive time for the UK. In many ways I liked Major because he seemed so inept.

https://lu.ma/ and https://partiful.com/ are the most common (for new tech events) right now. Discovery isn't great, but it's what everyone is using.

Luma is rolling out more discovery features, and I search twitter for "lu.ma San Francisco" to find other events sometimes.

Nothing that covers the feature set of Meetup though, but much better to use.

The trip reports for datura are legendary for their outlandishness.

Oh Meetup. I miss you.

I first started using Meetup in the middle to late 2000s in the Bay area. It almost kick started my tech career after meeting a ton of people at a computer music event. I wasn't quite ready yet and made a detour through moving to LA, starting a pirate radio station and then becoming a carpenter in the art world for 5 years.

Meetup was there for me when I finally re-engaged with software engineering and computers. I would go to events almost weekly and met tons of interesting people who taught me about all sorts of subjects from 3d printing to category theory. I got to see the inside of many different startups and eat a ton of bad pizza.

All the way up to the pandemic i was a regular participant. I don't think I have been to a single event since the pandemic. I still live in the same place and do the same sort of work. I have a really hard time motivating myself to use the site and whenever I do, I find the schedule rather sparse. I have heard the same story from others many times.

Perhaps this is post-covid trauma? Or perhaps this is part of the price we pay for shifting so hard to remote work? Or perhaps this is the result of the shitty Meetup UX making it difficult to find groups I relate to? I don't know, but I suspect it is all of the above.

I miss the sense of IRL community provided by my local meetup groups.
Sounds exciting. Looking forward to trying out the extension!
It depends on exactly what is learned from looking through them. If you end up copying shapes and segments then there are possible grounds for a lawsuit. If you’re able to determine the rules to make a good font from your analysis, however, then nothing is stopping you from applying them.

0.1% of federal prisoners in 2012 were in there with possession being the most serious charged crime: https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/dofp12.pdf

I would bet good money that rate is even lower now. Many states proceeded with decriminalization campaigns for possession in the meantime, most reasoning from false premises.

The issue with the NIST curves is that they were generated from a PRNG with some kind of completely random seed. The conspiracy theory there is that the seed was selected such as to make the curve exploitable for NSA and NSA only. Choosing such a seed is somewhat harder than complete break of the hash function (IIRC SHA-2) used in the PRNG that was used to derive the curve.

On the other hand, there is a lot of reasons to use elliptic curve that was intentionally designed, so, DJB's designs. And well, in 2009 I would not imagine that the kinds of stuff that DJB publishes will end up being TLS1.3.
You assume doing drugs is a sign of a dysfunctional person. While it often is, plenty of people use drugs responsibly, in moderation, because drugs are fun.

I hope they come down -- I have reduced my restaurant spend considerably since restaurant (even chain) prices went up by 30-50% in my area compared to pre-Covid.

According to a quick google search Walmart does not commingle inventory. However, I think they will eventually once their tech can support it. Target started commingling inventory so it is only a matter of time before Walmart does. From a logistics standpoint it makes 2-day shipping much easier since you can spread inventory out across the country.

>but they were not more criminal

I know that my grandparents sold booze illegally to bolster their income, my dad worked under the table a lot. Honestly how do you know how criminal anyone was in the 40s and 50s? Do you think they caught remotely as much theft, smuggling or tax evasion at a time when security cameras didn't exist? The state didn't even have a fraction of the capacity to trace lawbreaking that it has now.

When our great grandparents were around most cops probably didn't even have routine motorized patrols, who on earth even bothered to report a violent altercation during the Great Depression
I said that we don't make them tour. They can do so if they want, but they don't have to do so to run a profitable show, and so they don't have to run themselves ragged doing it. They can just tour for short bursts when they're all feeling up to it, visiting only large cities where it makes sense, staying long enough at each city to treat the place as a short vacation, and taking a long break after the tour before the next one.

Yes, but perhaps the poster's point is that the drug use isn't the problem, it's the harmful behaviors of the person who is using the drugs.

So perhaps their point is that the crime should be the harmful behaviors, not the drug use.

If you had actually ever tried datura, there's no way you'd be so dismissive of people's reports of using it as being "outlandish".
Do shareholders actually act as a substantial check on companies though? And it's this a check towards positive behavior, or negative behavior (for the company, society, etc.)?
It's very unlikely the seeds were random, and they weren't even ostensibly generated from a PRNG, as I understand it. Rather, they were passed through SHA1 (remember: this is the 1990s), as a means to destroy any possible structure in the original seed. The actual seeds themselves aren't my story to tell, but are a story that other people are talking about. For my part, I'll just point again to Koblitz and Menenzes on the actual cryptographic problems with the NIST P-curve seed conspiracy:

I personally use a file provider for the dynamic traefik configs (yaml files) loaded from a bind mount in the same folder I keep my compose. Auto-reload on changes, and it makes it clear what I'm routing to and from by having proper indentation for my router, service, and middleware fields. And since everything is in the same network, I can just define the container name as hostname -- the DNS entries are automatically created.
It's not cheap to pay for inventory storage, warehouse workers, logistics, etc. When something like Amazon/Walmart/other can take on those liabilities for you, the costs come down.
You must not know any designers. Pretty much everyone I know would consider that to be pretty fun – this is exactly the kind of thing artistic kids say they want to do when they grow up. And most of us would rather get paid to design cereal boxes than to do many other things, and almost everyone would rather do it than to not get paid at all.
You're still not recognizing the difference between corrupting a single academic cryptographer and corrupting a whole bunch of academic cryptographers. This isn't so black and white.

For what it's worth, I do think the US government could corrupt academic cryptographers. If I was an academic cryptographer, and someone from the US government told me to do something immoral or else they would, say, kill my family, and they gave me reason to believe the threat was genuine, I'm not so sure I wouldn't have done what they told me. And I know this sounds like spy movie shit, but this is the US government.

One last thing though, if you're giving me the black and white choice between blindly trusting the outcome of a US government cryptography standard competition or distrusting the field of cryptography altogether, I choose the latter.
Normally I'd be deep into Hanlon's law and things, but the assumption there hasn't been a conversation about ramping up supply is faulty. I am sure there has been and it's been fraught because just like during mask times, manufacturers want guarantees of income and investing in the supply chain stocks and labour and production and logistics incurs costs up-front. In the mask case, the domestic suppliers said "we used to make this stuff but you went least cost and we lost money on the capex, so tell me why I should be fooled twice, which is more fool me"

I think that seeing the bottom of the barrel is euphemistic for "guys, we really have to settle this contract" -not "there are no more shells"
A lens performs a Fourier transform just because any process that groups light waves by spatial frequency is necessarily performing a Fourier transform. That's because a Fourier transform is defined by how it relates input and output, not by whether it happens via a piece of glass, or a pen and paper, or a FFT software routine.

So this might be just a philosophical matter, but as far as I am concerned, there is no distinction between "performing a matrix multiplication" and "performing the operation that a matrix multiplication performs", such as projection, mapping, rotation, scaling. If you can mentally picture a plane being stretched, skewed, or spun, along with all the points on that plane, then you are mentally executing (in that case) 2x2 matrix operations. But we do this so effortlessly that we don't notice it.

As a kid learning to read, you might start by recognizing individual letters and sounding out the words. But at some point in fluency, you hardly even notice the letters anymore -- recognizing them disappears into an effortless task that is executed so quickly you might not even notice it's happening. That doesn't mean that your nervous system is no longer performing some kind of best-fit-comparison between an optical image on your retina and a set of learned characters; it certainly must be, but it's just happening (basically) with hardware acceleration.

You might think you aren't doing matrix multiplication because you aren't consciously iterating through [A1B1 + A2B1 + ...] like a child sounding out vowels, but the operation is necessarily happening somewhere along the line; it's just happening at the hardware level below your conscious perception.

I can do digital matrix multiplication with Numpy, but I can also make a circuit that does analog matrix multiplication using op-amps, where the addition and multiplication happens in voltages; I can make a mechanical device that does matrix multiplication using gears and levers, and I can certainly coax neurons to multiply matrices. It's hard to imagine a better structure to implement a matrix multiplication than the dendrites of a neuron.
The middle initial being included is often a subtle but pointed hint to that effect.
Nuclear requires time to build and expertise to maintain. You can't correct decades of bad policy instantly, even if you have the will to do so (which Macron doesn't).

Every producer lowers prices trying to kill competition. It's a major reason to lower prices, and lowering prices to kill competition is how goods over time become cheaper.

I think you misunderstand the reasons prices actually become lower for many goods over time. Or why some producers get replaced over time by more efficient producers. Without this process there's be no lower prices or more efficient production over time.
Usually rural wind farms are placed on privately owned land. The landowners willingly lease land for hosting the turbines. This is not a lot different from land owners leasing land to grow crops or graze animals. Large land owners probably don't live "near" those turbines for the same reason they don't live near all their leased pasture land -- their holdings are too large for their primary residence to be near all of it.

In my experience the complaints about wind farms in the countryside come mostly from smaller landowners and/or people who don't get their income primarily from the land. This includes people who moved to a rural setting after retirement and "lifestyle" farmers who don't need significant income from their acreage.

In my county the hearings about a new wind/solar complex attracted supportive comments from a half dozen working farm families and negative comments from a zillion non-farming families. The small number of supportive farm families probably owned more land than the critics. They were hoping to collect lease payments from wind turbines to supplement income from agricultural output and offset the variability of agricultural profits.

It's hard to say which side of this conflict, if any, represents the "elites." The electricity will mostly go to urban areas, because that's where consumption is concentrated. (Of course, that's also true for typical rural products like beef, wine, and onions.)

The large farming landowners could be considered "elites" because they own a lot of land. But they're also typically making thin profits from each acre, and get rich only if they choose to sell the land.

The critics could be considered "elites" because they are basking in the rural ambience without depending on the agricultural or extractive activities that typically dominate rural areas. They'll be economically fine if wind farming is banned. Or if cows are banned. In that sense they share the sentiments of the anti-wind-farm crowd living in Martha's Vineyard, who believe that energy should be produced Somewhere Else where it is neither heard nor seen.

YMMV, but having worked at a remote-first big-tech company, then an in-person startup, then a big-tech remote-first company that bought our in-person startup, I feel a stark difference in engineering velocity.

> they are purchasing and holding assets on their customers' behalf, so your florist analogy makes absolutely no sense

No, they were accepting customers' cash in exchange for something undefined. Crypto being unregulated, we can conclusively say that something was not "purchasing and holding assets on their customers' behalf."

FTX is, in many respects, more like a florist than a financial firm. Certainly for purposes of this case. (My florist's books are better organized.)
