As a kid in communist Romania, with basically no TV to watch, I spent much time reading whatever I could get my hands on, and fairly tales were a big part of the 'curricula', especially when I was younger.

There's a series of books published here named 'Povești nemuritoare' (Immortal Fairytales) which were hugely popular back then with kids: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pove%C8%99ti_nemuritoare

I don't think they were much sanitized if at all and some stories were really disturbing. I see that the emphasis on what to censor lays on violence (ex: hero cutting the head of the dragon, chopping off toes to fit in shoe, stabbing the groom) but that never bothered me as a kid, I barely noticed that to be honest. Probably because I had little realization in their gruesome meaning.

But stories involving the inevitability of death disturbed me and there were a lot of them. One is Romanian, I fucking hated it: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinere%C8%9Be_f%C4%83r%C4%83_b...

Otherwise the stories tended to be grouped by source/nationality. Like "German stories" or "Arab stories" or "Chinese stories". If these were movies, German stories would be "action & adventure", Arab stories would be "comedy" (loved them) and Chinese ... "Horror and drama" :) If you want to traumatize your kids, give them unsanitized versions of Chinese fairy tales :)
Or: nothing really interesting happened here at all, the USAO figured they were 2-3 years out from wrapping up a trial on these charges, that the only toothy charges they had for Assange were conspiracy charges for which Assange's active participation was weak, and so the sentencing guidelines would likely have left him at "time served", which is not a good use of the prosecution's time.

But, I mean, sure, maybe Biden directed DOJ about an open case, and AG Garland just rolled with it, because he sure seems like the type.

I love all the magic tricks and fake doors you use to bypass this evil shit.
Without severe government regulation, capitalism always moves towards oligopolies and monopolies that use market size to deny new entrants and who can have minimal to no innovation to consume precious profits. This is only possible due to a locked-in consumer base which has no other options available to them.

Closed source being anti-innovation is the fact. Competition is enforced by governments and laws, not by any goodwill of corporations, who would sooner see higher profits and lower costs. And all the competitive advantage is useless when the market size of current players prevents entry into the marketplace via patents and outsized war chests -- this is, for example, the current state of the search engine market. Several search engines which were far superior to Google have folded in the last 5 years due to Google’s sheer size and the barriers to entry it enforces due to that size. Even major alternatives are on literal lifelines and starving for lack of users. Yet Google no longer “innovates” for the consumer, and does so purely to enhance it’s revenue stream at the expense of the consumer.

On the flip side, open-source forces constant innovation because nothing is hidden. Any company putting out open-source software cannot hide behind market monopolies or suppress similar products via patents, or have access to any of the other competition-killing tools that closed-source has. Because anyone else can quite literally fork their entire product, constant innovation is at the core of remaining the market leader.

> The vast majority of hedge fund clients are high net worth individuals, with very few pension clients for the typical hedge fund.

This is definitely not the case if you are talking in terms of the % of AUM. For all the hedge funds that I know about the vast majority of their AUM comes from institutional clients like pension funds.

For big hedge funds even by number of investors the majority is probably institutions because they don't encourage individual clients and instead target their marketing at institutions so they can raise more AUM.

Source: worked in the securities division of a major wall st firm for 8 years and had a lot of hedge fund clients, then worked for a hedge fund startup. Have close friends who have launched 2 hedge funds and have seen the whole process for them including cap intro etc. Worked at a software company where one of my clients was one of the largest hedge funds in the world so spent a bunch of time embedded onsite at that fund.
It sounds like your rapidity was found remarkable. Not everybody has that. Not all mathematicians have that. Perhaps respect was due.
It would be cool if an array of numbers was sorted by numeric value by default, instead of the values being sorted alphanumerically, yes, that’s a gotcha.
I wonder if they do not have a contingency plan for this kind of scenario.
Two most used OSes on the planet - iOS and Android - force you to create online accounts and do not allow you to fully use your device without online accounts.
No one complains about it and instead they praise this as a great feature.
Windows does not force you to use the online account to access all the features of your computer, it tries (more and more forcefully) to get you onboard so you get similar backup protection as what you have on your phone but minimally technically savvy users can still create local-only accounts (which is near impossible on the phone OS).
The UK have already heavily bent (broken) the extradition rules in the favor of the US. I don't think the UK will mind as long as it doesn't cause public uproar.

Most notably, the UK-US extradition treaty, which has exemptions for political offenses (e.g. espionage), has been found not to apply.

This article is decent https://theconversation.com/julian-assange-how-british-extra..., but from the middle of the trial. Craig Murray's blog is also a good source of info.
I'm incredibly pro-tech as a rule, but my first reaction here was a groan. We'll probably be forced to use plastic replacements that are 100x more expensive and come with a new set of problems.

I hate it with a fiery passion when environmentalism is disconnected from numbers.
Have to be careful with how you look at those numbers. It was already the case that most people who are homeless are not "chronically homeless".

I don't doubt that there was some degree of reduction but if you are looking at it as a "50% cure rate" or something like that, you shouldn't be claiming things like "fact" or "success/failure" regarding the topic, without at least adding some more context.

> Having no access to walkable areas, fresh food, education, safe water, or public amenities in general is not a dignified way to live for most people.

These things are easily found outside of Manhattan (in my example, or whichever large downtown area you prefer).

In my little suburb I can walk to just about everything I could need, multiple farmers markets for fresh food (probably more than in Manhattan since there are many farms within an easy drive; not too many farms in Manhattan!), top rated schools, public parks, libraries, theaters, etc.

The only thing missing here compared to Manhattan is tons of bars within walking distance for the nightlife. There are a couple breweries within walking distance so that's good enough for me, given all the tradeoffs.
Thanks!
We are also exploring different use cases. Right now, we saw people using this for travel plan, brainstorming, research (market research, product research, etc)

Workflow builder is an interesting idea, could you elaborate more? Did you see any similar workflow builder?
Thanks for sharing the article. I liked it. Unfortunately, it does not provide any solution to "bloating". I guess that the root of the issue is that Google optimizes for the time that ads get displayed, and quantity over quality sites will display more ads per actual information provided.
You have it backwards. It is not an infringement of copyright if an archive or library reproduces and redistributes according to the exceptions set forth.

The Internet Archive quite clearly does not abide by those exceptions, and as such they are infringing copyright and not an archive protected by these laws.

If the Internet Archive (or anyone and anything for that matter) wants to spend my tax dollars, they can start by first abiding by the laws and regulations of the legal jurisdiction they reside in, in this case the USA's.
TfL not only gets your Apple Pay device account number (DAN), but can also associate it with the primary card number (PAN). Both magically appear if you add the primary card to your online TfL account and have used the associated Apple Pay device with TfL before.

It's hard to fully trust a device with ecosystem like Android's, but there are more and less annoying options.

I tried a cheap Lenovo tab and was pleasantly surprised how little lenovo crap was on it. Additionally, it let's you uninstall pretty much everything, including their apps, plus they stay uninstalled even after system upgrade. It supports multi user, so you can have "kids space and parent space" if you want (which can have separate sets of apps). It may be obvious, but tables like Xiaomi fail on both of those aspects. Screen is a bit dark though, I have it at 100% most of the time.

I'm not sure how big screen you really need, but for cheap phones I tried Realme twice and was impressed. Their <$200 tier is perfectly usable speed-wise, look good, also has very little realme software and let's you uninstall anything (permanently).

I had zero problems with F-droid on any of those. F-droid basic updates in the background with no use intervention, so it makes an interesting tinkering device.

While having git built into file explorer would be welcome, I'd rather it be limited to mostly read-only actions, with nice indicators (tracked/untracked/modified). The only real write-action would be to add/remove files to the index.

I don't want a bug in explorer mangling my git repo and pushing the changes.
Woz is a technical genius, no doubt about it.

But Jobs is who made the boxes something that non-nerds wanted to have in their homes. There were dozens of computer companies at the time, some (not many, but some) of which had Woz-level engineers (e.g. Jay Miner and team at Atari). But only Apple survived.

Someone once said there would never have been an Apple if there had been only one Steve, and I agree.

Was he a jerk sometimes? Yeah, definitely. But he's not the first genius who's been a jerk. At the extreme, Isaac Newton was a horrible person.

I once saw an .ini for a log parser:

The thing worked. Without any errors. And yet it took:

Pattern="[error] <pid>

..and then considered the rest of the line a comment. It didn't even error on the fact that the quotes were not closed.

Gren works equally well for backend and frontend apps, Roc is only backend I believe.

What a crazy idea.

Cost to orbit is huge. Power availability will depend on pushing enough solar up there. Data centres use lots of power.

Getting rid of excess heat is a major problem in space and data centres generate lots of it. Terrestrial cooling is trivial in comparison.

Hardware obsolesce will be a major hurdle as will repairing stuff that fails.

Radiation is a significant problem in space. Shielding will be very heavy or the hardware will have to be build tolerant which is much more expensive and results in a much slower solution.

Much easier and cheaper to install lots of solar and batteries in the middle of a sunny desert somewhere really cheap and build your data centre there. Then build fibre connections to wherever.
"Julian Assange published evidence of war crimes committed by the US Army."

I assume you mean the famous "collateral murder" videos?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_12,_2007,_Baghdad_airstri...

That is my biggest issue with the whole wikileaks thing. Because it might borderline a warcrime by being careless - but it was no murder.
Yet it was framed as the US army just killing journalists for fun. But it was not at all like this.

There was active fighting, the journalists that were killed were embedded with active fighters - and their camera misstaken for an RPG. Those things can happen, especially if the journalists do not mark themself as journalists.

"The cameras could easily be mistaken for slung AK-47 or AKM rifles, especially since neither cameraman is wearing anything that identifies him as media or press"

The second attack while civilians evacuated and the children killed in the van - that was the bad thing. But it was still in the context of US troops receiving fire. So not at all allright, dirty war in a urban area - but not intentional murder. It was collateral damage in a wrong war.

Being a short-order cook is a trade you can be trained for in a few shifts. Sure, you can get great at it over many years, but you're done learning most of what you need to learn in a year, tops. Working a station at a fine dining restaurant requires YEARS of knowledge built through experience, and usually, a culinary arts degree. That someone working a station in a Michelin starred restaurant wouldn't be as good at short-order cooking as an experienced short order cook is like judging an automotive engineer by comparing how quickly they do oil changes compared to a guy working at jiffy lube. Beyond that, those fine dining cooks have probably worked at paces that would make those short order cooks heads spin. Manhattan restaurants will easily do 500 covers on a weekend night and the amount of work that goes into each dish is absolutely incomparable. In the last fine dining place I worked in, one of my shifts was always in the pastry station-- those plates involved made-to-order tuiles, made-to-order sugar decorations, foams... and that all needs to be coordinated with everybody else in the kitchen. At a diner, they put stuff on a hot surface to make it hot and put it on a plate and the whole process takes about a minute, so you don't even have to talk to anyone, let alone calmly strategize while you're literally on fire. Those line cooks could walk into a diner and get dragged for the first two shifts by guys that have been cooking the same 15 dead simple dishes for a few years, and then by the third shift they'd be everybody's boss. One of those diner guys would walk into a michelin starred restaurant for a stage and ten minutes later, after failing to chop onions with the requisite precision, they'd be handed a mop or told to go home.

It's inevitable that they go dark. They piss off too many people regarding IP rights, and people hate to have proof out in the wild of what they said or did in the past. Plus a ton of other reasons; more people have an interest in it disappearing than have an interest in it surviving.

I mean, when it dies it will be a greater tragedy than the burning of the library of Alexandria (at least many of the books there were copied elsewhere), it will be a tremendous blow to our collective knowlege and memory.

But it's inevitable that it will go away.

OCaml isn’t pure. Elm will not support mutations, exceptions or unmanaged side effects. This makes it easier to reason about code, even code that you didn’t write yourself.
At some point such source comes as good enough source for collection of very likely true facts. Like when something was released, some dates of tours and so on. Things which they have no point to lie. Or time points when something was reported. This information is also elsewhere, but collection from one source on topic would still be valuable.
That is talked about in the article. Normally yes, but not in this case.
> But he's not the first genius who's been a jerk. At the extreme, Isaac Newton was a horrible person.

Luckily, we had a spare: Leibniz (and others) covered much of the same ground as Newton.
They have also gone back and changed scores in light of more recent information. Like parts-pairing in more recent iphones decreasing its score months after the initial review came out, despite the part seeming easy to swap. I appreciate that.
The first paper is not making the claim that eating breakfast is unhealthy—just that you don't want to eat right as you wake up. These are different things. The second paper references two different studies where, when people at more than 33% or 50% of their calories for dinner, they were more likely to be obese.

I agree that eating from noon to 5pm can be an optimal eating window, but you are going to have to eat a large amount of food at noon and a relatively small meal at an early dinner if you're not eating breakfast. That's possible for some people; but I think the vast majority of people prefer to eat 3 meals a day and are better off consuming the bulk of the calories earlier. My personal experience with people that skip breakfast: they tend to have a moderately large lunch and a moderately large dinner, which is probably not optimal. And that's because when delaying food intake in the morning, they tend to grow relatively hungrier as the day progresses.
No, it's about not being lied to when looking up a work of fiction.

Revisionism of historic facts and artwork is one of the oldest forms of political manipulation and has never served a good purpose, no matter how well meant. If you want to alter a story, make it clear that you altered it, don't replace the original with your version and then lie to people.
Most of the independence stories are complete B.S. They were enabled by the US to kick out the Europeans out of their colonies. It has resulted in the creation on some of the most corrupt and mismanaged governments and centralization of power in the hand of these rulers. Indonesia could have been 20-30 separate countries.

The punchline is that this is hurting the US even more now as that keeping these governments aligned is a much harder job than imagined and they are being scooped by Chinese influence in the present day.

Was there any point when you could get a 30 year fixed loan at 3% in the UK?

It makes sense that some banks might be offering them now at 7% since they have little to lose but I don’t think low interest longterm fixed mortgages are really possible without significant government interference (like in the US).
I didn't understand why a vector is defined as a = torch.tensor([[3], [4], [5], [5]]) and then, a paragraph below, it's a = torch.tensor([1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0]) or b = torch.tensor([1.0, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125])

Also someone might be puzzled by the use of the tensor method while the notion of a tensor has not yet been introduced. I understand that it's quite difficult to introduce all concepts at once, though.

Anyway, thanks for the resource and keep it up!
Are you (or your husband) really trying to tell me something like this[1] is an archive or a library?

That is one of the more, if not most, flagrant demonstrations of the Internet Archive not understanding what an archive is. There's more where that came from, including stuff like their one:many digital book lending program.

The law stipulates what an archive/library is and how they are protected from certain copyright prosecutions. The Internet Archive does not abide them, and thus I would absolutely not want my tax dollars sent their way. If they want to engage in flagrant piracy and political activism, they can do so on their own dime.

"One of those journalists working for The Guardian proceeded to publish the key to the entire database, ensuring everything was leaked"

It might have been somewhat leaked before, maybe because of misscomunication/individual action. But it was not known widely before - still, Wikipedia made the decision to publish all unredacted on their own:

"WikiLeaks said that on 2 September it would publish the entire, unredacted archive in searchable form on its website"
