I went to a rural high school where 20% of the “senior” class every year was Chinese exchange students, a large portion of them continued to study in the US for their post-secondary education, exactly 1 of all the people I spoke to has a parent who is even an active member within the party and he is a mid level bureaucrat in a no-name city. It’s not nearly as common as you seem to believe. Many people go into debt to study in America, with their family’s homes used as collateral (which was the case for multiple students I met in college from India).

The one who "needs to hear the other side of things" is rarely the customer, and this is a good case study in why: no matter how much this customer "hears", they are right and Vlad is wrong with regards to the GDPR. By insisting that the customer needed to "hear the other (wrong) side of things" he looked worse than if he had just listened to the customer.

The customer isn't always right, but often is, like in this case. If you're a CEO, best to just pipe down, be humble, and listen to customers. Being open to being wrong is a nice plus, but either way, people will like you more if you appear to listen instead of argue. Even when you're right!

tl;dr: this isn't an internet argument between two otherwise-equal random strangers, this is a CEO talking down to a customer while being objectively wrong, which is 2x bad.

It's supposed to be usable "inline", so it shouldn't print a newline.

Some terminals have an option to still write the $ prompt to the next line and use an enter symbol (⏎) to signify that no newline was printed.

That's true, but you'd still need to find the unauthorized passenger already on board. Without a picture you'd have to flush the plane and reboard.

It's a lot harder to be an enterprise company or b2b startup (SOC2) and brush that off in front of knowledgeable auditors. I'm guessing most would miss it and rely on self-reporting, which in turn raises how 'loud' this issue is for most OSS terraform users.

We aren't heavy terraform users, so I'm not sure of the threat modeling here. Understanding these kinds of product decisions and OSS security ramifications is a pet interest of mine, and this is a fascinating one!

About 98% of hospitals has committed some form of medical malpractice. The major problem is when people start accepting this as acceptable behavior. There are multiple places where sharing information with advertisers should be greatly restricted, including hospital, lawyers, priests and so on. Government institutions like police emergency information centers should also avoid sharing data with advertisers, especially if that information get transported over the border.

Yes, people do bad decisions all the time. Hospitals are not perfect and mistakes happens. They should however not continue doing mistakes that harms patients.

It's microservice land! Most of those services are no longer in active development, and nearly all of them support a single actual product.

In my opinion, we split them to aggressively at the start - expecting some of them to be used by other people in the company, as a service type of situation - but that never happened. I argued for combining several of them - they don't share any paths for API calls, so it could literally be as simple as recursively copying various folders, and adding more route definitions to whichever service becomes the host. But it was never particularly urgent.

AI mind control abilities are also on the level of an extraordinary claim, that requires extraordinary evidence.

It's on the level of "we better regulate wooden sticks so Voldemort doesn't use the imperious curse on us!".

That's how I treat such claims. I treat them the same as someone literally talking about magic from Harry potter.

There isn't nothing that would make me believe that. But it requires actual evidence and not thought experiments.
I’m fine with that in research papers. They have a very different goal where practical applications are not necessary yet (or ever in some cases).

> The idea is that a "person of ordinary skill in the art" can implement the normal stuff (ie the current state of the art) around the new innovation, and the new thing gives that system a non-obvious benefit.

Why specify a protocol at all then? Im sure a person of ordinary skill in the art can also come up with a protocol without an implementation. Takes like 15 minutes if you don’t have to worry about pesky details like having a working implementation.

There is no benefit, obvious or not, because there is no implementation. Whether it is safer or faster or whatever would be defined by an implementation. They’ve patented the digital equivalent of letterhead while positing that it will make mail more efficient.
Offended by the question? Why? I’m sure you’re joking a little, but the question isn’t well formulated, not worth even being mock-offended over, and anyway, it was primarily about the audience’s point of view, not the artist’s. There are lots of crafts made for touch: linens, knives and utensils, clothing, furniture, violins, etc.. And lots of art is made with the hands, like sculpture & music. Isn’t pottery’s main criteria to hold things well and secondarily to look good while holding things? Unless it’s made as a sort of musical instrument, when is the sound of a pot important for evaluating it? I can see enjoying the touch & sound of certain decorative pottery (which may means it’s intended to be non-functional visual art, to be looked at and not meant to hold anything?), but generally even if I wanted to, I can’t pick up and touch other people’s decorative pottery or handle museum pottery unless explicitly invited. So yeah, if sound & feel is the intent, I can see it being quite difficult to share that.
I only have one proposal. If a company has a layoff in number of thousands, then the company should be barred from h1-b for a certain number of years.

How I recover a –$347 inversion in a week? taaft
#TAAFT #solopreneurs INVERSION ANALYSIS FOR OTHER SOLOPRENEURS AFTER 1 WEEK IN: -347 $ Get listed in taaft We did recover our inversion after 1 week in. wow? + 33$ (4th april) + 108$ + 9$ + 12$ + 45$ + 71$ + 3$ + 38$ + 31$ (12th april) = 350$ But take into consideration that not all the traffic in my site is coming from taaft, is like 40-50% of the total traffic so so so, we could say we only recover 175$ (half of 350$) of the total investement. Remember that backlink will last forever and we will be getting traffic from them for weeks after weeks. In conclusion, from my pov if you have a tool and taaft appears in your google search around you, well that most probably worthy to get listed there. Without much to say, if you like this post remember to drop a follow, will help myself to write and compile this kind of data for you guys more often

Sculpture can be tactile. I know it's not purely tactile, but thinking of it in that way is becoming a lot more common (eg at the Louvre). And then I went to find a URL for the tactile dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco (https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/tactile-dome) and it turns out there are lots of tactile galleries now:

Also they're not really "dumping" EV's in Western markets. The automotive market traditionally made low margins like 5%, until EV's where they're now trying to make closer to 30%. They're just sticking to the old pricing model.

Actually, yes, because racism is an ideology and a world view that says your own race/lineage is better.

Racists do exist, AND communists try to control society.

In the modern era, this is likely because touch doesn't scale. Think about it: we are all using devices which can replicate sound and visuals. Taste doesn't scale via electronic devices, but restaurants and home cooking ingredients are extremely commoditized and widespread. Visuals of food also are extremely popular – think of all the cooking YouTube videos out there.

Smell has perfumery, but this is a small thing compared to other art forms. Both food and perfumes also fit well into the market system and have an obvious market incentive for their propagation.

Touch-based art forms don't scale electronically (as we lack devices for implementing and sharing different touch sensations) and they don't have an obvious practical art purpose either, in the way that graphic design (for visual art) or music (for sound) does.

As a side note, I think touch is probably just as important to food as taste. Otherwise, why not just eat flavored mush?

The key word you want to look for on this is haptic art. Here's a good post about this topic, too:

https://ivanisakov.medium.com/haptic-art-7f55e995c576

Edit: I was looking into this more and came across an essay by Johann Herder, which is probably of interest:

http://csmt.uchicago.edu/annotations/herder.htm

https://www.jstor.org/stable/25622078

Part One lays out the foundation for Herder’s argument for the virtues of sculpture by distinguishing between seeing and touching. He recounts several stories of blind people who did not understand the concept of seeing to point out the fact that we see sculpture as three dimensional only because we have grown up using our senses of touch and of sight in tandem. Were it not for touch, vision would merely be a field of colors and shapes. In this distinction we find a theme common to media theory, the problem of distinguishing the ways we interact with our surroundings, while at the same time recognizing their interdependence. While Herder realizes that our understanding of sight as forms depends on our sense of touch, he would have us define our understanding of forms only through touch and forget about sight. For him, since the essence of sculpture is "beautiful form and beautiful shape," and a "physically present, tangible truth," (p. 40) to understand it only as a vision is a profanation, a grave underestimation of its potential.
PCI devices have always been able to read and write to the shared address space (subject to IOMMU); most frequently used for DMA to system RAM, but not limited to it.

So, poking around to configure the device to put the whole VRAM in the address space is reasonable, subject to support for resizable BAR or just having a fixed size large enough BAR. And telling one card to read/write from an address that happens to be mapped to a different card's VRAM is also reasonable.

I'd be interested to know if PCI-e switching capacity will be a bottleneck, or if it'll just be the point to point links and VRAM that bottlenecks. Saving a bounce through system RAM should help in either case though.

Presumably one would write an object-oriented version of quicksort to go with their OO C library design and not use the stdlib functions. For example GObject is OOP in C, and I imagine it has collection types with sort methods.

Inheritance is what will bite hard when hand-rolling OOP in C. For one, you can forget about the compiler enforcing substitutability and co/contravariance for you.
I think that's a pretty good presumption. Though a Random Orbital filter could be an interesting thing to see.

China also has large swaths of it's population still in a lower income bracket, especially the further you get from the coasts (though the demographics there are not much better).

I think it has to do with what you’re considering as artwork! There’s a traditional distinction between “fine arts” and “applied arts.”

Fine art, like painting, is almost definitionally not supposed to be touched.

Applied arts include fibers (knitting, weaving), ceramics, jewelry and metalwork, etc. Stuff that’s meant to be pleasing and functional.

Whether something should be touched is almost _the thing_ that moves a field from one category to the other.

Applied artists, and their product designer cousins, will spend a lot of time exploring and pursuing tactile qualities.
Anyone who says that isn't aware of how many wars there used to be. See[1] and look at the countries and regions involved, and how in this century it's down to a very very few regions. Since WWII, Europe has been incredibly peaceful after centuries of invasions, border conflicts, revolutions, empires rising and falling.

Pointing to one thing going wrong so you can call people 'privileged' doesn't change it. Nuclear Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), NATO, the EU, the USA, the generally calm dissolution of the British/French/Spanish empires, the end of new lands to find, has stabilised a lot.
