> what's the real difference between TikTok and watching TV?

One is a heavily regulated medium where people spend millions of dollars and work together in teams of hundreds. It's content is overseen by numerous regulatory agencies before it airs. Tons of powerful people stand to lose a lot of money if anyone screws up and sneaks porn onto the news - even a nip slip on live TV can become a major scandal that's remembered years later.

The other relies on a team of inconsistent, overworked moderators to delete a deluge of inappropriate content in a vaguely timely manner.
The term is accurate. The man in question held the rank of "pilot major" which is a specific type of navigator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_major
Baltimore city and PG county voted for a democratic president. Rest of the state was red.
This is actually common for a 2 stroke type engine and used in things like gas golf carts and snow machines. The direction the engine is started is the direction it runs.

So to accomplish this for propulsion, you'd add a reverse polarity switch for your starter and you're good to go.

I imagine that part of the selection process was ensuring the Bb videos were all in-tune. I'm imagine there were many videos rejected because they were out-of-tune.
A plus of this law would be if this would force social media sites to stop locking down read access behind a sign up wall.

I think the barrier to entry with creating a new account on each site right now is low when no ID is required - so social media sites lock everything down.

With the new friction of requiring ID, it could be harder to get users to create accounts so locking down everything won't make sense from a viewership access perspective.
There's very few tools available, so license suspensions have been just a general purpose tool to annoy people.

In cases like child support, I think it probably does work to some extent. They have a ton of people that they think could pay, but are dragging their feet.

Would you prefer send them straight to jail?

BTW I take the extreme stance against almost all license sanctions. That said, I have to admit without them, and without the threat of jail, many crimes would have little deterrents. Same story IMO with criminal records and going after people's careers.

We would need to develop creative new sanctions, and arguably should anyway; but I see no good ideas.
Programmers Introduction to Mathematics by Jeremy Kun should get you started.
Look on Amazon.
Then you can decide if you want to do a formal course and which one.
I would also strongly suggest you buy yourself a personal copy of Mathematica which will give you a very powerful portal into Mathematics via a notebook interface and an elegant functional programming language. The documentation is probably the best I have ever seen for a software product.

Book overview for Jeremy Kun book from Amazon
A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics uses your familiarity with ideas from programming and software to teach mathematics. You'll learn about the central objects and theorems of mathematics, including graphs, calculus, linear algebra, eigenvalues, optimization, and more. You'll also be immersed in the often unspoken cultural attitudes of mathematics, learning both how to read and write proofs while understanding why mathematics is the way it is. Between each technical chapter is an essay describing a different aspect of mathematical culture, and discussions of the insights and meta-insights that constitute mathematical intuition. As you learn, we'll use new mathematical ideas to create wondrous programs, from cryptographic schemes to neural networks to hyperbolic tessellations. Each chapter also contains a set of exercises that have you actively explore mathematical topics on your own. In short, this book will teach you to engage with mathematics. A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics is written by Jeremy Kun, who has been writing about math and programming for 10 years on his blog "Math Intersect Programming." As of 2020, he works in datacenter optimization at Google.The second edition includes revisions to most chapters, some reorganized content and rewritten proofs, and the addition of three appendices.

Do you happen to know how they stopped traffic? Are there warning lights at the ends of the bridge? I have seen bridges of this sort but they are fairly rare.

I'm wondering if that's how they stopped almost all of the traffic. Flip a switch, most people stop, a couple of assholes blow through the caution and FAFO.

I wonder if the "prop walk" effect might be stronger in shallow water.
I wouldn't count on that. I think most courts have moved to say "we never care" for fairness, and other reasons.
I love the thought! Just a friendly warning - gift cards attract the fraud industry. This could result in a wide array of undesirable effects. Make sure you or someone on your team or someone you can call up and consult with knows the industry of gift card fraud really well. This will be very helpful in early planning and feasibility studies.
Ah, that’s interesting. My company, Matchory, focuses on market research and supplier discovery by analyzing bills of lading and crawled web content, then building a huge database from that. By now, we have a few hundred million BOLs and roughly 14 million companies in store. If you’re interested in having a talk about any kind of collaboration, contact me. Email in bio.
Your question is valid, but your subsequent statement is silly and dangerous.
I think they're just trying to keep it simple (which is totally fair, KISS principle is valuable).

You can keep soft real time perf with this scheme, just like you can keep soft realtime perf on any system with a soft fill TLB.

I say all of this as I used to be the lead for a real time kernel that would allow more than 8 regions on a task on a Cortex-M0/M3.

It's pretty easy to hit that amount with a combo of fine grain access (you probably want your RO section different than your TEXT section, you probably want your stack discontiguous with any mapped section, you've got all of your MMIO regions your task cares about which necessitate other MPU regions because the difference between normal memory and device memory is configured by the MPU), combined with breaking some apart to get greater granularity/packing like they talk about here.

Lol at the infinite channels on TV part really highlighting.

As an adult, I don't have cable, I use an antenna. Yes, I have streaming some streaming services.

As adults and/or parents we can make decisions that help our kids (and they might help us too)

I also use Adblock.

The TV argument is the same as devices too; We had one family TV growing up; I still refuse to have a TV in my bedroom.

In conclusion, seems like we've hit the generation where our parents used TV to parent and so now we don't know how to parents -- or, for many people, be.
If your argument is that the judiciary can afford to be independent because the US will ignore them and just take anyone who they think is important to their interests then yes, I can see that as a reasonable possibility. But it is also a reasonable possibility that the courts cave in. It depends what sort of pressure the US brings in to play.

If you're arguing that the German judiciary had influence over the fate of Khaled El-Masri then I'm not sure how the argument is meant to hang together. They seem to have been powerless in that instance. The outcome depended on the CIA's judgement.
You are talking about an Optical Disk Emulator, and a few have created for the Saturn. It takes files from an SD card and supplies the data to the console as if an optical drive was reading the data. I personally own one. Just dropping the correct keyword in case anyone else is curious.
In smaller channels and similar it's not that uncommon to have crash barriers. For example in many Berlin channels and rivers.

And while I'm not quite sure what it is for the bridge had concrete pillars orthogonal in front of the pillars (this picture shows them well, to be clear I do NOT mean the power line isles: https://www.upi.com/News_Photos/view/upi/7191ba50f17c5a68307...). They would have stopped the ship if it would have went orthogonal to the bridge (i.e. if they mistook where the pillar where in a otherwise normal situation). Through not sure if that was the purpose of them.
This discussion has gotten a bit convoluted. I apologize for not being clear. Original idea was that the government can’t kick every kid off social media because social media is the public square and kicking people out of the public square is wrong.

The reason why this argument is bad is that online social media platforms aren’t the public square. They’re not the public square because they are something else: a coherent speech product.

They are allowed to kick people off because they produce a coherent speech product.

But you are right, the fact that they are allowed to kick people off is not directly related to the fact the government wants to bar kids from using these sites.

Are you and I in full agreement now? I think we might be.

Should we be looking for evidence of LoRA style transmissions for SETI? The energy required to get a loud conventional signal to go dozens or hundreds of light years is insane. But it seems like this kind of modulation might allow interstellar range with “only” gigawatt scale power levels.

It’d be an ideal way to create a signal with the potential to reach, say, a large fraction of the galaxy without requiring a Dyson swarm to power the transmitter.

Of course there are so many modulations this might be combinatorially impossible unless we can make some rational guesses about what a rational intelligence would use for interstellar communication if they wanted others to notice.

I'm working on a tool for sharing things like API keys using encryption apis built into the browsers, https://www.oncer.io.

What I'm working on at the moment, and am sort of stuck on, on is how to make a web app doing in-browser encryption secure - since the server delivers the code that does the encryption in the browser, users sort of have to trust the server anyway to deliver that code. I would like to at least somehow, maybe through a browser extension, assure the user that the version of the web app running in the browser is at least is the same as the build output for a given release in the repo on GitLab/GitHub/the like maybe... then it's sort of like 2FA in the reverse direction, 2 sources (https server connection + extension doing code check) confirm that the real web app has been delivered to the browser.

Appreciate any thoughts on this head scratcher! Maybe there's some way to assure the web app code integrity I just don't know about! :)
If you think sports don't involve faith, I think you're being naive. Sports have rites, involve hopes for a better tomorrow, and carry belief in the social value of certain behaviours (the discipline).

What powers the typical football club "factotum", showing up every week to cut the grass, inflate balls, wash shirts, clean changing rooms, etc etc...? What powers the cyclist agitating about the need for bike lanes, or proselitizing the sport? There is no seriously rational explanation. It's a type of faith.

FWIW there was a special investigation into the US spying in Germany but it didn't lead anywhere because there was no political desire to create any consequences. It seems to boil down to everyone in government who was affected already having been aware that the US is likely spying on them and shrugging it off as a cost of doing business with the US. Additionally the US used to have a legal provision in West Germany that provided them a carte blanche for various covert ops shenanigans due to the outcome of World War 2. Officially this contract ended eventually but everyone aware of that history seems to be certain that it was merely replaced by similar but less publicly visible agreements.
My point being that if raw milk has bad bacteria introduced from outside of the cow and it is not pasteurized, that bacteria has been shown to be harmful for us
This is how roll-your-own cryptography often works out. You set the parameters of the attacks you want to defend against, defend against them perfectly, and ignore the practical realities of what attacks are actually coming.

If you are great at it, you will come up with something very efficient that defends only against the attack surface you need. If you are not great at it, you will have an insecure system.
It's important to keep in mind that this is not just about the US. Countries not aligned with the US may have an interest in exposing the US but most countries do not have an interest of being exposed in a similar manner and setting an example with Assange not only deters exposure of the US but exposure of any of the countries aligned with the US and supporting the extradition.

> For instance, a child object can survive the death of a parent by being adopted by another.

This is loosely speaking what the qcell crate provides already, via TCell. But the "adoption" protocol involves the use of complex patterns where compile-time "token" types (which one could also see as capabilities for the underlying object) are passed to the relevant code.
Does it have an air inlet??
All of this pretending to be concerned about children is really about doxxing and creating lists of political undesirables.
Blocking on the future isn't a feature of the function that you asked about, and in fact as a comparison to javascript if you expand the example to include an `await` on the returned promise (and include something that's actually async) it also blocks to wait for a result in the same thread. Those are features of the future/promise, not features of the function.
This makes sense and is probably true, but Netherland still hits well above its weight in agricultural production; production is extremely intensive, and very high for the land area. From what I understand, Wageningen University of Agriculture is world class and has for a long time been pushing the limits of agriculture.

Of course whether such intensive agriculture is actually a good idea is another matter; we've got quite some pollution issues here, and aren't exactly known for the tastiest produce.

Did you get exposed to far right propaganda, dehumanizing women, incitations of violence, practical suggestions of suicide, cartoons about rape followed by pregnancy and a miscarriage, or similar content on TV when you were a kid?

This is the kind of shit that’s everywhere on YT now, and your kids will stumble upon (father of one here). The “faces of death” stuff we had access to once in a blue moon is not even close.
The bridge is part of I-695, which is a beltway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_695_(Maryland). Inner loop refers to the inner lanes (traveling clockwise), outer loop the outer lanes (traveling counterclockwise).
That understanding really breaks down when partisan politics are involved - if it's us vs. them you can do a lot of stuff without your base raising a stink as long as it's posed as being against your opposition.

> This is why Facebook engineers proposed using Onavo, which when activated had the advantage of reading all of the device’s network traffic before it got encrypted and sent over the internet.

This doesn't make sense, they wouldn't see the traffic before it was encrypted. They would see it encrypted, but using the MITM certificate instead of Snapchat's. Given the inaccuracies in the article, it makes me wonder what else they got wrong.

Using a VPN client to monitor how much, when, and where traffic is going is bad, but MITM'ing a user's connection is much, much worse. I'm really skeptical that's what happened, especially given TC's inability to articulate accurately what Facebook did.

Big government forced licensure upon motor vehicle operators because early on they demonstrated a tendency to cause societal harm. There is a place where libertarian ideals have to be curtailed for the greater good.
The problem is that once such a thing fails, it gives massive ammunition to future naysayers that get to conveniently ignore all the implementation failures because campaigning for/against will ultimately boil down to bullet points.
Are we willing to lock all humans into an antiquated medium for the sake of this control?

I ask this as someone who now watches only a tiny amount of television now. I watch a lot of content online and even create my own content. The only reason we need overworked moderators is because anyone can be a creator now. I don't think you can put that genie back in the bottle and I don't think it's necessarily better if you did.

You can't. End of story. Thankfully, most people don't care and will happily use it anyway.
You can make a lot of money if you are able to implement the WiFi and cellular protocols in hardware, which are a complicated mess, and riddled with patent traps.
In your scenario you're not accruing a legitimate debt, you stole something (admittedly with the intention of paying for it later).
> Despite our initial aspirations for robust community engagement, the reality has fallen short of our expectations. The level of participation in activities such as contributing open-source software, creating wiki articles, and providing assistance on forums has not matched the scale of the program.

Putting aside the substance of this announcement, the way it is worded doesn’t make a good impression. It comes across as “we are disappointed our dreams of getting open source developers to do work for us for free didn’t come to pass”. Talking like that is not encouraging those dreams to come true.

I have never run OpenVMS, but sometimes I daydream about installing it, even having a go at porting some software to it-just as a hobby. But thus far I haven’t got around to it. Hearing this attitude from the company that owns it, is making me think, maybe my “not getting around to it” was fortuitous

this is an interesting thing to contemplate, the different degrees of sustaining power a community centers upon. If it centers upon trifling things the entropy of the community will just disband over that thing since it has no real drawing power for longevity. Centering upon less trifling more significant things more longevity. Centering upon the deepest things you find a bonding power to overcome the repulsions and noise and can cross the multigenerational barrier. I'll have to think about this somewhat.
