>Would be nice if we could just recognize Taiwan as an independent country.

Trump, as president-elect in late 2016, took a congratulatory phone call from Taiwan's president, something that had never happened before since normalization of US-China relations. I suspect that a second Trump administration will see him visit Taiwan, and restoration of formal diplomatic relations as opposed to the current "American Institute in Taiwan".

I hope Trump goes further and explicitly encourages Taiwan to build nuclear weapons. Had the US not twice squelched Taiwanese efforts in the 1960s and 1970s, East Asia would be a much, much calmer place today.
I would also suggest at least initially anything which is not pure ASCII alphanumerics, eg starting with _ since those may be special for say DMARC.
> GIT is already best model for keeping history of textual changes

Git doesn't even keep history of changes, just snapshots before and after the changes. A very common problem is viewing history of a single file as it gets modified and renamed - this information just isn't stored. It's common for tools to show file history incorrectly - i.e. a previous version is removed and the new one (with small changes) magically appears.
Prepayment fears delaying smart meter roll-out, warn MPs
Hey, now that we proved that permanent attrition wars are a "viable" option that won't kick in a full scale war, we can start more! Think of all the profits! In fact under the threat of a full blown nuclear war, we can bring back full scale conventional armed conflict on the table, like the good old times.

um, yes? I mean if you build it from cardboard especially. that doesn't mean they deserve no support, of course they do, they most likely live in some by-thy-bootstrap central crazytown), but it's not a good strategy to keep encouraging/enabling living/building without the appropriate measures to make it sustainable.

I'd be shocked if this helps significantly. My understanding is all major browsers are shipping builds with LTO and PGO already. We investigated whether there is any obvious performance left on the table in another engine (WebKit) and came to the quick conclusion that there just isn't much that you can do this easily. (Which, to be honest, is not entirely surprising.)

For the thankfully very short period that I ever used SVN, I remember it being massively painful if the network was down. The local processes would just hang and then your entire workspace was pretty much unusable. Couple this with a single-core 32bit machine and less than 1G RAM and you're pretty much stuffed for any sort of productivity.

If sustainability is your metric, you should prefer cities. The general environmental impact and resource usage of rural living is much worse per capita than city living. (And yes, that can be true while cities generally use much more resources and pollute more: they also have many more people living there)

Money. Charging the higher end of typical consulting rates. That's your competition.

It's OK to want to help the young engineers, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't charge the company while you are at it. It would be foolish to do it for free, you effectively wouldn't do it for free even if you still worked there.
Nah, you don't want bureaucratic gatekeeping. You want the 14 year old in Kenya or Ukraine with technical competence but no ID to be able to report the bug he finds.

Yes, highly controversial and the scandal it's still infamous on every media and press.

Mediatic in my language (and almost by extension it could in English by adapting Romance roots) means something widespread in media but as highly broadcasted over and over because of being scandalous/controversial.

I really enjoyed my visit with my (then) 4yo son, but I agree. It's warmingly reverential but almost everything is behind glass. They're computers, they're machines, they can do amazing things just with a screen!

The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge (UK) explains as you go in that says unless there's a sign, you can play with anything you see. There's clearly an expert for each machine, so they are set up with who has games, word processors, educational software, a banking back-office (??), typewriters... so much more exciting.

My partner is the current President of the ISSS (International Society for the Study of Surrealism) https://surrealismstudies.org/ which is a vibrant community of people interested in surrealism. They have annual conferences, still engage with the last few living surrealists (it was born 100 years ago, but the movement still attracted artists up to, through, and after WW2 as a way of processing and expressing what was happening), and of course it provides a way to connect all of the academics and artists (any medium) globally.

As an indication of how engaged that community is, when a paper is given over Zoom, it's not unusual to get 80-90 people in that Zoom all actively engaging with the content and discussing for several hours.

Interesting detail in the judgement:

Ok, I have an idea, lets stop printing new money directly into the housing market through the federal reserve. Without it, there is no guarentee that a house will appreciate, in fact most homes would be considered depreciating assets. The cost of homes would plung 80, maybe 90%, and housing would be radically more affordable. Id be totally hosed, but I would find that a reasonable compromise.
My take on this is that there is no magical "emergence" that appears when grouping elements together into a larger system.

The thing is that we use different (and incompatible) abstractions to describe processes in differing contexts.

The map is not the territory.
This is all about representing signals inside a computer. Audio played from a speaker (or as it exists in the physical domain) is continuous and your ear doesn't have a sample rate. So there's no concept of a Nyquist limit or aliasing with physical sound.
In hacker world, the liability is distributed just like in corporations

But whoever trades the liability only gets a little bit
Obviously everybody is different. No two people are the same. No two men are the same either. But that doesn't mean that in normal social interaction, and especially professional interaction, people do deserve the same level of upfront respect and trust. At least until those are squandered by their own actual actions. But instead, it's, even now, still too common that some people get denied that respect based on prejudice about gender or race, rather than their own actions.

> Now you can force and harass people to do this or that.

You can set certain professional standards within a company, community, field or industry, but the issue in this example is that the difference in performance was caused by the prejudice from the customers, and that's not something you can control.

> I personally think it is better to to let individuals be natural and a/ allow making of mistakes and b/ allowing for the opportunity of learning from those mistakes.

But how can you do that when people are being held back from being their natural selves by unfair prejudice? And educating customers is hard to do when it might be a completely different customer every time.

> The idea that there is some known perfect state 'equal' is a nonsense

Which is why nobody is talking about that. I'm talking about obstacles that are needlessly holding people back, and about what can be done to remove those obstacles. Using fake names is an ugly fix; one that appears dishonest and doesn't really address the underlying prejudice, but it does mitigate the immediate symptoms of that prejudice.

I totally agree that forcing and indoctrinating is wrong, but what do you do if people have already been indoctrinated, and as a result are forcing other people in a way that restricts them both?
I'm not advocating for either side here, just want to explore my ideas for a bit.

During some rough patches of my life, I found solace in being vulnerable with my friends and speaking about how I felt.

At other times, taking a more stoic approach worked wonders. Learning to notice feelings and emotions without them leading you into a spiral of debilitating self-pity or self-loathing, for me, is the ultimate life skill. And to be honest, I only could really progress with such a skill in relative solitude.

The way I have it now, the approach of reaching out for help with mental space is more like going to a doctor. There's a certain threshold of suffering that needs to be reached, for you to take deliberate actions. Practising mindfulness and all the stoic narratives is more like doing fitness. It helps with the ongoing, everyday, low-key pain, as well as prepares you for the bigger issues in the future.

I'd further argue that it would be important if your program does anything useful without the GPL parts; if so, you can probably argue that it is not a derivative work. If you however only build an extension to some GPL'ed software that fundamentally needs the GPL'ed code to properly function and cannot (easily) be used by any other software, then you probably will create a derivative work.

A more generous interpretation of their comment is that they are glad that some legal precedence has been set. The same case would not go through courts for another decade.
Employed over time, and reading between the lines, lots of part-time and probably temporary workers given how they were hiring and the pressures on those women's time. Normally even co-ownership structures have earn-in periods, so this isn't a huge surprise. In a time where only capital-rich folks could invest in businesses (still the norm outside our contemporary VC tech bubble where vesting and cliffs etc are commonplace terms in employment negotiations) this was pretty radical.
Every single example comes down to "why didn't they humiliate themselves further by sharing the content of the lies and defamation brought against them?"

This is sophistry. This practice is a good way to get away with defamation though, by tricking the victim into repeating your falsehoods themselves.

I accuse you of being a child-sodomizing warlock, and shame you for not telling anyone you go crying to that you've been specifically accused of buggering kids.

This is just more abuse of victims, and an impressive new low. You hijacked my post for this?
> cross-sectional relations between self-reported conspiratorial ideation and measures

I think self reported is the key here.

I find it interesting that people would admit to 'believing' a conspiracy theory (which I see as a negative). I suspect they mockingly call it a conspiracy theory while internally believing it to be consistent (but I have no evidence for this). They seem like interesting people to study. Shame I can't read the text.

That seems similarly sexist to me, is it not? "We massively value men in software development because their abstraction skills are better".
Right out of the box, with a completely empty buffer, the app's canvas is much wider than the window, so it presents a horizontal scrollbar. Even at maximum width (1920), it horizontally scrolls! This is an absolute dealbreaker for me — it's just far too inconvenient to have to wrestle with text escaping the viewport all the time.

I think that the separation of the power to issue a currency from the state is profoundly dangerous, undermines the source of legitimacy of our society, and likely to destroy any possibility of a kind and fulfilling world for billions of people.

The current form of money that we use relies on the structure and status of the states that issue it, and the relationships that they have with one another. This is not positive in every way, for example the military dominance of the United States underpins the value of the dollar internationally. However, some measure of democratic accountability additional to brute force and pure market economics has allowed some diversion of wealth to create some measure of social justice.

I think there is no sign at all that crypto will provide this and instead if it was allowed to run wild the world would be ruled by people like Elon Musk with no restraint.

Apart from that it's fine!

Fair enough, but it's still not entirely clear what constitutes linking, especially when it comes to Python, and what the situation is with plugins. The GPL FAQ Says:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#GPLPlugins

> It depends on how the main program invokes its plug-ins. If the main program uses fork and exec to invoke plug-ins, and they establish intimate communication by sharing complex data structures, or shipping complex data structures back and forth, that can make them one single combined program. A main program that uses simple fork and exec to invoke plug-ins and does not establish intimate communication between them results in the plug-ins being a separate program.

> If the main program dynamically links plug-ins, and they make function calls to each other and share data structures, we believe they form a single combined program, which must be treated as an extension of both the main program and the plug-ins. If the main program dynamically links plug-ins, but the communication between them is limited to invoking the ‘main’ function of the plug-in with some options and waiting for it to return, that is a borderline case.

No company should ever do business under terms that are this unclear. It's just asking for trouble. Use another licence that is not this ambiguous.

Well, because the AI already knows how the Germans looked in WW2, the "problem" is the censoring in place. If you removed the censoring from the algorithm, then it would generate the accurate images you asked for.

Not advocating removing all censorship on these models, but if you actually need WW2 images for some project, say a Youtube video, getting a bunch of images of black people with Stahlhelm's isn't really ideal. Just imagine a serious-styled amateur Youtube WW2 documentary using AI-images here and there, but almost all of the German army consists of minorities, it really sets the wrong tone! There is a sweet spot for this sort of thing.
