If you are not feeling confident in approaching strangers to start conversations, you might be tempted to start every conversation with something like, “Hi. I don’t know anybody here and I was hoping to …”. It’s okay to be thinking that but skip over all those words as you speak and just say something like, “Hi! Are you enjoying the conference so far?” You will (usually) get an immediately warm and polite response. If you like the person, keep chatting. If it isn’t, wish them well and keep moving.
He won't say that until after he has been inaugurated when absolutely nothing has changed yet. That is how we went from "struggling under Obama" to "best economy ever under Trump" in a week or two last time he was president.

Also, his supporters will go from saying "lower gas prices were rigged by the president to steal the election!" this month to "Trump brought us lower gas prices!" after inauguration without any sense of irony.

Well, get the popcorn ready because the next 4 years are going to be interesting, to say the least.
What are you talking about? Biden was utterly incoherent at the debate. She stepped up, and got the party behind her immediately, and brought hope back to the Democrats. In terms of her campaign, she did far better than we could have reasonably expected.
> Trump is a sociopath, again amongst other things, but he is very very clear about where he stands on things and what he's planning on doing.

I don't know if you'll agree with this, but I actually think that one of Trump's gifts, or maybe his campaigns gifts seems to be to convince everyone they're going to get what they want, and is in fact not very very clear where he stands on things. He's sort of emotionally clear (tarriffs and illegal immigration)

But I also think...

If you ask a blue collar worker, they'll tell you Trump is pro-union
If you ask a business owner they'll say he's anti-union.
If you ask someone on the ACA, they'll tell you he'll protect it, if you ask a fiscal conservative, they'll tell you he'll abolish it.
If you ask a woman, he'll keep abortion with the states. If you ask a catholic, he'll abolish abortion. He's friends to muslims but will also deport them.

He's the friend to the blue collar worker, enemy of the elites, but also friend to billionaires willing to work with him. I think this is why Trump would have beaten Sanders. Sanders would have never gotten the support of the business class, and if he did it would have eroded his support with his base, Trump is somehow immune to that.
> but instead of a code to send to the UK authorities, they handed us printed photos and a web link.

I had a similar experience with getting UK photos at a chemist, they said they could do digital photos and didn’t. So I went to the Photo Warehouse and it was smooth sailing. I guess the specialist photo outfits are more likely to know what they’re doing.
How is it twisting words when the context is Trump refusing to say he will accept the results of the election every time he's asked, "joking" about staying more than two terms, and actually trying to overthrow the Republic on Jan 6th?
Intelligence agencies aren't known for their history of providing proof to the public. This review has been in process for over a year though.
You're missing the point. There's not enough Euro or Yen denominated assets to make that work.

Repository boundaries are affected far more by the social structure of your organisation than anything technical.

Do you want hard boundaries between teams — clear responsibilities with formal ceremony across boundaries, but at the expense of living with inflexibility?

Do you want fluidity in engineering, without fixed silos and a flat org structure that encourages anyone to take on anything that’s important to the business right now, but with the much bigger overhead of needing strong people leaders capable of herding the chaos?

I’m sure there are dozens of other examples of org structures and how they are reflected in code layout, repo layout, shared directories, dropboxes, chat channels, and email groups etc.
> unless you are an aspiring empire, or if you are surrounded by enemies, or if you have a huge debt.

Or if you depend on future generations to take care for older ones once they reach retirement age, which is all of them. (A savings account can't care for the elderly, so debt doesn't really have much to do with it; you can see the problem entirely while staying in real economic terms without looking at money.)

You can make up for some of that with immigration, but whether people will be very accepting of something like a >50% immigration rate over a single or two generations is also questionable.
Deflation is known to be bad. Much worse than inflation.
No I think there's a clear difference. I've seen this several times: Somebody changes teams and now they're no longer responsible for a bit of code, but then they learn that it is broken in some way, and now they're sneaking in commits that--on paper--should now be handled by somebody else.

Dev's *like* to feel ownership of reasonably sized chunks of code. We like to arrange it in ways that is pleasing for us to work on later down the road. And once we've made those investments, we like to see them pay off by making quick easy changes that make users happy. Sharing a small codebase with three or four other people and finding ways to make each other's lives easier while supporting it is *fun* and it makes for better code too.

But it only stays fun if you have enough autonomy that you can really own it--you and your small team. Footguns introduced need to be pointed at your feet. Automation introduced needs to save you time. If you've got the preferences of 50 other people to consider, and you know that whatever you do you're going to piss off some 10 of them or another... the fun goes away.

This is simple:

> we own this whole repo and only this 10% of it (the public interface) needs to make external stakeholders happy, otherwise we just care about making each other happy.

...and it has no space in it for there to be any code which is not clearly owned by somebody. In a monorepo, there are plenty of places for that.
It isn't the poor that fund either political parties.
There's a lot of people in the midwest with germanic heritage, I like to think about how it rhymes with the relationship between the "uncivilized" barbarians and rome
What conspiracy theories?
Trump has a lot of faults, but it’s not that he can’t keep his messaging at a level even the most uneducated of voters can understand.
This right here is incredibly stupid. One of the stupidest takes and a rampid and dangerous misconception among mostly young men I see as of late. Elon avoids taxes not because he likes this country, but because he benefits from it. Anything that maximizes his personal wealth could very well be hostile to the well being of the country. You should see how he treated his own children. Incredibly naive. Many rich men end up giving back to the communities that made them (Gates and others for instance). Elon, a child of parents that cashed in on apartheid, is certainly an exception.
Yes, they definitely over extended on legal immigration, although it should turn into a net positive maybe a decade later assuming they cut back on it now.
I think you misunderstand.

A number of people from marginalized groups literally fear for their lives right now. That's based in reality, coming from Trump's bigoted rhetoric and the people he allies himself with. Whether you think they should feel that way or not, it's the way that they do feel and it's valid.

It's a reasonable reaction when you believe your life is in danger to try and get yourself out of that situation. You saying "it's not that big of an issue" and "where's the evidence" is both tone-deaf and beside the point. This person is scared. They have bigger problems than your opinion that they should stick around and vote. Help or stay out of it.

Indeed, during my parents generation, the big cities had huge dance halls that were filled every weekend, if not every weekday too. My parents remember going to those places, as did my in-laws. In fact, I got a gig with a band that had been a major touring group in the past, and mentioned it to my in-laws. They said: Oh yeah, we danced to that band in the 50s. They frequented the ballrooms that dotted the Chicago suburbs.

Of course I credit it to people being cooler back then.

And one of my relatives remembers from her early childhood the music scene in pre-war Berlin. There was an opera on practically every corner. And movie theaters. Those are virtually gone too.

Today I play music for a folk dance group, and they have weekly dances, but a dozen people showing up is a lot.

are they really able to claim to be democratic if they are analyzing and storing forever all this data without the informed and explicit consent of the surveilled?

I suggest that the number of people who are aware of the full extent of the scale of this surveillance AND have fully thought through all of the future implications of this comapred to the populations is a rounding error. A minority are capable of mouthing something cynical like "oh yeah they record everything." With no further thinking beyond that. Perhaps even here in this community.
If that 20% does not include those raising kids, then it's crazy high. People should be free to live their own lives and make their own choices. And those with nurturing instincts should be well compensated to care for those we can't or won't tend to 24-7. No one should be alone with around the clock care of another human.

Of course we should all pitch in with whatever capacities we do have. But it must not be all consuming. And not block off our own opportunities to a life of our own.
The sun is bright, but it's not bright all over in the lower VHF/UHF ranges. The quiet sun has a mimimum radio emission at about 50 MHz and then linearly (mostly) increases up to 10 GHz (and more). So at the lower frequencies radar echos can be detected as long as there are no active flares/etc going on. http://a.superkuh.com/radio-sources.jpg

Although it's emission (due to the transparence of it) is not just a disk but sometimes increases on the limb depending on frequency, http://a.superkuh.com/solar-disk_relative-brightness_vs_sola...

Here's a diagram of how the ray paths from an Earth based radar reflect from the soft target that is the sun, http://a.superkuh.com/what-solar-radio-looks-like.jpg
I think his argument holds. We should apply the same standards to Meta. Zuckerberg has explicitly harmed our democracy. Let's treat all companies that are hostile and run by those that despise America with deep hostility (look no further than his private practices in Hawaii for examples). That's my personal opinion. The same standard is the most democratic path
What was insane was Jan 6th. Both sides are not the same.
> This has also been the catalyst behind the ban of TikTok in the US

No it hasn’t. The war in Gaza is a foreign policy issue, which means most Americans tuned out from the start, and one that was a top issue for a very, very narrow slice of the electorate.

The sad truth is we’re aware of atrocities; we simply aren’t too bothered by them. (If you’re honest about yourself, you aren’t either. Nobody sane could be. There are too many of them, and they’re all burning furiously and it has been this was for a long time.) TikTok is about China, not the Middle East.
How can the US actually enforce laws against Bytedance? Are they going to allow us to audit their operations?
Assuming you're arguing in good faith, here is the transcript from someone who was in the room with Trump when he was saying all of this:

> He's looking for obedience. This is the thing that shocks him about American generals and continues to shock him, is that they swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the president. That's what he's looking for, personal loyalty. And we know that from many other discussions we have heard around him.
>The moon base example I think makes the argument very clearly. If you have an economy which produces nothing then it has a GDP of 0. If the increase imports for whatever reason, their GDP is still 0, which means that imports doesn't subtract from GDP, otherwise their GDP would be negative which is nonsensical.

It's technically true that imports don't decrease GDP, but that's only true if there's no substitution effects. But for most goods substitution effect does exist, and therefore we should expect a GDP drop from imports.
> Had a single email been altered, you can be sure that the DNC would have been shouting it from the rooftops.

Easy to imagine they would not in some cases. Often people do not comment on on going investigations. Or in international espionage I know it is common to hide what you know and what you do not know to keep your competitors/enemies in the dark to give your self an advantage. So the USA spy organizations may not want the DNC to show its hand.

I can not make the assumption that you are putting forth at least.
Reminder that all of those states were amazing for Democrats pre-1968. Everything changes with time. Many of those states are becoming unaffordable because there was so much displacement from blue states. It’s not easy to predict how voters will respond in 6 or 16 years…
This (incorrect) attitude is another big reason beyond economy for the D loss.
This is a post about Canada.
You're right, I misread. I meant to allude to the fact that Perot's run was really the only viable 3rd party campaign in recent history. Nader got about 2% of the popular vote, Perot got ten times that, at about 20%. Candidates looking to replicate or even one-up his success need to, likewise, circumvent traditional media gatekeepers to get in front of voters constantly, incessantly.
After using Cursor (another AI focused fork) I'm 100% on the fork train. AI built natively into the IDE presents another layer of speed and isn't subject to the limitations of the extension system (which is awesome in its own right, not a knock on it).

Well ... yeah, of course. This isn't some unusual thing.

Lots of things are foregone conclusions for a long period of time before you have the data to know it.

Think: A competitor is working on a product that massively outcompetes yours, but you don't know that until it is launched. Or you have cancer that is progressing but you don't know until it is diagnosed.

I think this turned out to be like that.

Not arguing that the carbon tax is legit. It hasn't been proven yet that it isn't just a way to collect money while pretending to do something about the environment.
a lot of comments here seem to think that mono-repo has to mean something about deployment. I just don't want to have to run git fetch and 5 different repos to get everything I need and that's good enough reason for me to use one.
To be fair, it kinda makes sense. The person best equipped to criticise a game or work is probably often someone who's experienced it for the longest. That way, they get to know all the things that don't add up, get repetitive on repeat playthroughs, various UI and UX annoyances that get worse the more you experience them, etc.

There's a reason the biggest fans of a game or film or TV series tend to give some of the harshest criticism, and why the most active users of a tool or program tend to have the most to say about it.

That was more to do Nixon's southern strategy than any change in policy. Remember conservative bulwarks Jesse Helms and Trent Lott both started out as staffers for Democrats.

Meta open-sourced their complete stack: https://github.com/facebook/sapling

Microsoft released Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar) although it's not a complete stack yet but it is already planning on releasing the backend components eventually.

Have you tried Sapling? It has EdenFS baked in so it'll only materialize the files you touch and operations are fast because it has a filesystem watcher for activity so it doesn't need to do a lot of work to maintain a view of what has been invalidated.
I think the big issue is that Harris knows she’s making empty promises and doesn’t like to do that. She also know that the problems were in fact caused by the policies made 4 years ago.

Trump knows he’s making empty promises but doesn’t give a shit as long as it wins him the presidency, he’ll wing it all later, and people won’t remember that he didn’t keep his promises because they only care that he said he would try.

It was something about people remembering how you made them feel, instead of exactly what you did.
It’s your people who decide to see it, not a foreign govt. Chinese media like cnn and nyt exist, no need to imagine either that or the situation where China buys cnn and nyt and gosh now you have to watch their propaganda.

The essence is, by denying agency of your country’s users, you deny the whole set of ideas it bases on. If that’s a natural vulnerability of the ideology, addressing it by banning media is a patch over a bleeding wound.

Canadian teens will simply learn about VPN, like they always do in other countries which ban internet resources. Not a single one of them will leave tiktok.
Did you just say you find Trump hot? Ewww
We have leaked emails proving that the DNC colluded directly with her campaign, Sanders had to file lawsuits against them to get access to information he was entitled to, and in a lawsuit following the leaks the DNC's own lawyers argued as their defense that they had zero legal obligation to run a fair primary. (see https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Wi...) Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned following the scandal and as payment for her services she was gifted a cushy position working for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

You're not wrong, but it's tough to see how electing a more pro-business (ultra pro-business) president/party is going to fix that. They're going to take away even more worker rights as they favor business.
I've been looking at SVMs for use with a binary classification experiment. Training and operating these models is quite cheap. The tooling is ubiquitous and will run on a toaster. A binary decision made well can be extremely powerful. Multiple binary decisions underly... gestures broadly.

Obvious contextual/attention caveats aside, a few thousand binary classifiers operating bitwise over the training & inference sets would get you enough bandwidth for a half-ass language model. 2^N can be a very big place very quickly.
By banning them from operating in the US. The implementation really isn’t complicated - it’s a simple statute outlawing the company on national security grounds, and all the tech companies (viz Apple and Google) will have to abide by it or face huge fines and criminal sanctions.

I wouldn't worry about it the truth is the internet forgets quickly. Important popular things disappear quicker than you expect. User data and logs exponentially becomes less valuable as time goes out. Know you are at McDonalds now is much more valuable then that you visited 10 years ago and being able to connect this data becomes difficult when devices switch. Video from 2005's is generally not easily consumable because of format changes and quality from a few years ago makes older video painful to watch. Even facebook starts forgetting data you upload.. stops being searchable after a few years.
