it would be more like blocking students from nigeria from applying during a period of historical tension between the US and Nigerian governments. there are a huge number of chinese individuals in other countries that did not face any filtering.
The Wall Street journal is owned by the Murdoch's not Bezos.
It’ll probably be miso but the point stands.
For reference, can you please name the four or so factions you’re referring to?
I also recommend adding a search with the hiring keyword "remote". It really highlights had the pandemic not happened...
It's an outage.
Usually, users are not seeing the keywords. It's hidden from their eyes.
Show HN: Study faster by generating exams with any material
Hi everyone, i have made this website to help students in my university study better and faster.
Just so you can tend to your fragility around downvotes--you cannot downvote a reply to your own comment.

So he isn't the culprit.
I find the JetBrains integration spotty - I have to run ‘eval “$(mise activate)”’ in every terminal session for it to pick up the env. I have vague recollections of also having issues with running executables from the IDE as it is missing the env details.

The SDK discovery works great though :D
The Worlds of Stanisław Lem
Yeah, I have read a lot about the plants, Populus Euphratica, and a lot of others, but it still...

There just isn't enough rainfall. Annual average precipitation in the Taklimakan Desert is less than 100 millimeters. With drip irrigation, they can probably keep at it at reasonable expense, but that place is horrid. Just look at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuylRKAK1Tc
In terms of the jury's willingness to convinct, however, it is likely to weigh heavily.
There is a double standard though - when a common man is gunned on the street it’s just thoughts and prayers, there’s nothing we can do, etc. But when it’s an elite somehow that death is more important. If there is no justice for them, then there should be no justice here either. Otherwise it just reaffirms that some human lives are worth more than others.
Did you try https://devenv.sh/? It uses Nix under the hood but with an improved DX experience. I haven't used it myself personally since I find Nix good enough but I am curious if you would still choose mise over devenv.
You’re right, I only looked at basic graphs and confused “the quality of health care you receive” (the numbers I gave) vs “your health care coverage”.

Still, that’s a huge dissonance between personal experience and opinion on the nationwide state of things, and I find that interesting because I doubt we can fix it unless a significant majority of people find it enough of a personal priority to vote that way.
Seems pretty judgmental even if I'm not really in a position to weigh in on whether it's a particularly bad idea or not.
Why don’t you replace the battery? Third party batteries are usually quite affordable and good enough! Even yesterday I’ve replaced a worned out battery on a very old iPhone 5S (2013) for my son to watch things on youtube kids..
Neither? I appreciate old hardware and software because of what it could achieve despite its limitations - because it's simpler, with fewer levels of abstractions piled upon each other, which makes it easier to understand.
I have thought since I got a 13" mobile usb-c screen to not take a laptop with me, but the problem is that ios ux is not designed for this. It is a petty because the hardware definitely supports it.
Unfortunately those don't exist in the US anymore.
Still racism, even if there is a noble goal behind it. If an university in the US deliberately skipped over black schools when it came to recruitment drives, with the excuse that "they want the black students who are persistent enough", they would (and should) be raked over the coals for racism.

I would be happy enough if termux gained access to more sdk functions. I have been running jupiter notebooks and until some previous Android version one could run code against views of the system folders.
I'll believe it when I see it. I think it's a gimmick until I see otherwise. People don't want to expend energy figuring out what they want, and generating porn with ai sounds like a lot of work for shitty results.
That's amazing. I don't see any possible way Tokyo uni is guilty here but CCP isn't... otherwise it's some new level of 1984.
Fricas it's another CAS based on Common Lisp.

BTW, the current SBCL versions are much better than the stable/oldstable releases such as the ones for Debian or Ubuntu LTS.

Try Fricas, you might like it too.

On Maxima, beware, because your package manager might ship you a Maxima version built with generic and unnoptimized CL compilers.

GNU CLisp's performance against SBCL it's abysmal. On an n270 netbook, MCClim widgets built from Ultralisp (QuickLisp repo) run in realtime with SBCL. ECL it's a bit beter, closer to SBCL than CLISP. CLISP fails to compile due the lack of threading support on 32 bit. And even if it ran MCClim, it would run visibily redrawing widgets like Win32 ones under a Pentium as they did back in the day.
The U.S need to spend a ton to defend their "imperium" even though it is a bit different from how empires have worked in history. If it doesn't another country will take place and assume leadership of the world. The nice thing about the Pax Americana is that it is based on voluntary alliances that benefit from the relationship and more neutral third-party that are not punished for their neutrality (and thus are not available as allies against the leading coalition). So much so that you can count on your fingers the states that actually want to change the world order : Russia, Iran, China and North Korea and they are not even great allies to each other. So the status quo coalition is running the world and it's a good thing for the world. Interstate anarchy is a state of constant war and is awful for everyone.

Now you will say oh yeah but what about the war in Iraq. The thing is that it happened when US power was uncontested. It was a mistake in the sense that it has undermined the rules of the order it was supposed to guarantee. But nothing we should not be surprised that unchecked power is bad. Now that China is a (the only) real competitor with the U.S, the U.S actually has to be a good leader for the status quo coalition it gets its prosperity from. The equilibrium between leader and aspirant leader is good, let's hope it stays like that.
I started writing mise in a bout of frustration after trying to use nix
A better example would be Harvard blocking people from Iran
Does anyone know how the news is covered in the Chinese media?
Made an account for this. Like another commenter said, you certainly won't get a cross section of "Syrians" here, and even I as a diaspora born in America to Syrian Christian parents can only loosely proxy the "Syrian Response." It's split -- some relatives and family friends have hated Assad for ages before the war (e.g. someone they knew was "arrested", they got property essentially taken from them, etc.)

Overall, though, there's a lot of fear. Just recently family of mine were going to visit for medical/humanitarian reasons, but now won't any time soon. We all know people there who've been struggling economically for years with the sanctions, but there's a different feel when this sort of ambiguous future violence looms. I'd disagree with other commenters stereotyping "most Syrians are celebrating", it does vary with a spectrum of wanting "stability" and wanting "freedom". farkanoid's stuff about torture and the mukhabaraat (never seen that mentioned in English!), can somewhat confirm, but am personally further away from that since I haven't been to Syria since the war started. The most definitive thing to say is the variance in Sryians' responses is not completely explained by their ethnicity or religion, and that just like any political people, their feelings come less from geopolitical simulations and staring at battle maps, more from their history and connections.

I'm not qualified to give predictions. I mostly wrote this comment to demonstrate that there are sort of Syrians on this website, not to give detailed political analysis. And finally, the sample you see here ARE sort of the "elite" that aprilthird2021 mentioned -- my people are Christian doctors, and farkanoid's Alawite relatives I'm guessing are more well off than the median.
I have been told to prepare for the worst. Acquire some backup power because data centers and miners will cause brownouts to outages across Texas during peak usage.

We already have some outages in North Texas during these periods of high heat. Your 800k house turns into an oven when it's 110 outside because of the poor building standards across the state. Without steady power and cooling for 5 months of the year, the state is uninhabitable.

Thank you Gov Abbot for deregulation, it is working just like you planned.
Yes, and s/he did actually say:

"Can we talk about how we can address that?"

rather than "Can we talk about what you can stop doing wrong"

(Although maybe does sound a little little bit in that direction?)

Maybe the answer is "Too much stress and deadlines"? And it's the manager's fault?

What's something even more neutral to say, that leaves the possibility that it's the managers "fault" more open?
Not surprising considering the JavaScript ecosystem....

... I am just joking. Please don't downvote me for it.
It has been years already for me, I don't buy any Android phone that goes over the 300 euro barrier, and use them until they are no longer fit for purpose, meaning they die, or get stolen.

Updates are anyway a joke, so I stop caring for that to the point I only have a passing interest on what Android team shows off at Google I/O.

Apple stuff I only use via my employer/customers, but same reasoning applies regarding features I care about.
Yes, the attacker only has to find one weak point, but the defender must find and fix all weak points.
I don't think this is the distinction being made here. Abstractions may be useful framing, but the author contrasts, after hearing what addition is, are you going to start studying multiplication, or are you going to look at examples of addition. We'd never think about teaching a child multiplication before they know their addition tables. However, in higher level math, and I saw this in uni, it's common to study structures without knowing many examples of them. You can do proofs about groups without connecting any of these proofs to actual examples that show their utility.
Because Nix has dogshit UX and the team seem to be completely oblivious to it regardless of how many times it's brought up.
Yes, it's the famous satire and political stance that is invisible to people.

(this was satire)
> whole thing is a double standard on multiple levels

Not really. The double standard is in excusing murder as a political tactic because you don’t like the victim.

In this case, the Twitterati will hold their court. And then a real court with real people on the jury will convict. There may also be an inquiry into UnitedHealth, but it will be able to be bludgeoned into partisan death by the law and order bloc.

> only people that I’ve spoken to who has sympathy are other extremely well off individuals

The ones I’ve seen who sympathise with the killer are largely college educated, urban, active on social media and make more than the median wage. If you’re only seeing one side of this, you’re in a bubble, because the truth is it’s not top of mind for most of America.
Yeah even with "good insurance", there is a high likelihood that getting cancer will mean someone's life savings will be vaporized and replaced with bankruptcy levels of medical debt. People spend their adult life paying for future use of a product every two weeks. Then when it comes time to use said product the seller tells them no.

Meanwhile, the company they paid all of this money to posts record net income and its executives make millions of dollars per year. They scare people away from socialized medicine with phrases like "death panels" while in the same breath boast about using AI to automatically deny healthcare for their customers. It's so gross and reprehensible.
> People will say that this is necessary to remain competitive, but it just isn't

Out of curiosity, What makes you think executive compensation can be easily cut? Wouldn't the shareholders happily do that if they could?
OED has it https://www.oed.com/dictionary/ongoingly_adv?tl=true
Let's put it this way. If you can break it and are willing to commit crime - you can earn a lot of money. I'm personally not equipped to judge the level of security, because I'm not a cryptography researcher. What I understand is that the overall ZK cryptography space has been around for a long time, and basic properties are well researched. I tried to read the PLONK paper for entertainment purposes and it's quite easy to understand.

If you want to prove a program, you need to convert it to what is called "arithmetic circuits". This is a clever way of saying "a system of polynomial equations". It is as if you're converting the code to logic gates but instead here you use arithmetic: addition, raising to a certain power, etc. It is a process called "arithmetization".

The proof calculation involves folding this system of equations in various ways and collecting a "witness". Not sure if I'm explaining this correctly, but it's probably in the right direction at least.

The problem with all ZK proofs is that the last bit of calculating the witness is very computationally expensive. What takes milliseconds to run on the CPU can take many hours to prove. And a lot of research is focused on clever mathematical tricks that allow to speed up the proofs while keeping the risks of circuit compromise low enough. As you may guess, the more bleeding edge the research the less it is peer-reviewed.

So I'd say that "it depends".

As for DRM - probably not. At least not in a way that companies installing the DRM would want it to work. They likely want you to be unable to decrypt something at all outside of a particular chip, and watermark the video on top of that to be sure that you're not screen-capturing it.

UPD: there's a decent free into course into modern ZK cryptography: https://zkiap.com/
Which is precisely why I would expect it to be the start of such a discussion. The "use your smartphone as your PC" thing has been attempted again and again for, as you said, 13 years. Generally it's a commercial failure because it turns out that isn't something most people want.

That seems hugely important to such a conversation.
This is an important distinction.

A history teacher saying idgaf and mentioning it in an article on a university hosted website is one thing. Putting it in meta tags, on a graduate admissions site, seems a lot less like free speech and a lot more like fuck you guys.
to be clear, Japan killed millions of chinese citizens and started a biological weapons laboratory with gruesome human experiments near harbin (unit 731 commanded by gen. ishii). it is likely these medical and scientific results were given to the US to avoid trial of 731 members at the tokyo tribunal. imperial japan was like the nazis.

japan complaining about naval maneuvers pales in comparison. imperialists often continue to harbor resentment of those they attacked and lost against. china is supposed to be a subject, not an equal in their minds.
So then "no".
Or is the intent to resist the authoritarian behaviour of the CCP?

And if that's the case, isn't that a noble goal that all citizens and institutions of democratic societies should strive to do?

If all major websites did this it would severely degrade the ability of the CCP to function and they may be forced to stop denying the atrocities that they've committed.
That will never happen, unless they accept Android userspace is Java and not GNU/Linux, and adapt accordingly.
> Blame isn't a zero sum game.

That actually is a very good summary of your whole post, and it clarified a little bit for me. Thanks, I'll steal that quote for later.
…and he was under active investigation for insider trading - which is a real crime the government will prosecute because it affects other rich people.

Killing poor people is fine, cheating the investor class is not.
And you literally cannot be without health insurance unless you make a significant amount of money. If you're unemployed your health insurance will be paid by the state.
Anecdotally, this type of corporate behaviour seems to have infected the US health industry.

Doctors, Nurses, service providers, entrepreneurs, etc, all routinely have to deal with these insurance companies who refuse to pay for things, negotiate rates post-hoc, and generally engage in extremely unethical business behaviour.

That seems to have become normalized and I personally won't do any work with anyone in the US Healthcare industry any more unless it's paid up-front.
You're right that they are not the actor performing the filtering but neither are the students being discriminated against the actors performing the filtering. You spell it out in your post; they are "leveraging that behavior" for the purpose of preventing Chinese applicants. It would be no different than blocking all Chinese IPs if you believe that intent matters.
Not found.
The name is absolutely perfect.
I really want nix to succeed, but it has terrible UX and documentation. It also doesn't help that the community is still fighting over whether flakes should be a thing.
Is the consensus that third-party AV is worse than no AV, or that any AV (including Windows Defender) is worse than no AV?

In the corperate security "industry", anti-virus use is always recommended and required. The more invasive, buggy and annoying for users the better the AV probably is /s
There's a balancing act here. Each individual Chinese citizen is innocent, but their government isn't; how much should each citizen suffer the consequences of their government's actions?

On one hand, it could be argued that they're innocent, and shouldn't be punished.
It's not their fault, and they nave no real ability to change their state policies. They're the primary victims, we should be helping them, not hurting them.

On the other hand, any attempt to hold the government accountable for their actions will invariably impact their citizens. Tariffs, sanctions, war, all can punish a populace because of the actions of a corrupt leadership... and yet it can still be just (see the sanctions against Russia, for example). Being too precious about hurting their population just perpetuates the regime.
An Anesthesiologist does not determine the duration of an operation. It depends on the type of operation, how sick the patient is and how fast or slow is the surgeon. Anesthesiologist provides anesthesia for the full duration of the surgery. You cannot blame an anesthesiologist for a surgery than runs extra two hours because surgeons need extra time. It makes no sense.
it's complicated. When you are drunk you have access to emergency service. If you are sober you need insurance. Any skin growth or whatever worries you (which means you are in smaller part of population which cares about their own health) you check on private appointment right now or in two years in public health care.
The other day, I wanted something to hack on (wanting to use Linux to automatically play useful & fun playlists on a cron - but don't want it dependent on my MacBook). Looked through the closet, and realized I had given my Raspberry Pi to a friend - what else could I program on? Then I had a thought - I wonder how powerful the computers used for "POS" (point of sale / cashiers) are? I went to a local tech-oriented mall, and found many vendors selling small form-factor computers. I found a Dell computer, small case, with 8-16 GB of memory, Intell Core i5 processor, 256-512 GB solid state storage - price range was $150-250 USD.

I bought one! When I got home, I was thinking - wow, it's been awhile since making a bootable linux USB drive. After figuring that out, the computer booted nicely into Debian, install was easy, but it brought back all these memories from college (at that time, I was using Mandrake and Gentoo - also on a Dell!).

My mind - full of ideas & possibilities, have been plugging random things into it to see what works - Logitech 3D Extreme flight stick: Yes! Yamaha keyboard - let's see!

I'm now on a journey to figure out how to get the sound system to work at root-level (so that 'cron' can play audio when a user's not logged in)

The whole point of the comment is that (1) this is so much fun, (2) Feels surprisingly good to be in open-source labd and not in MacOS world, (3) Debian Linux feels like a sturdy workhorse tool (4) Exploring the creative possibilities of open source tooling (and having patience for their user interfaces). For example, Inkscape, Blender 3D, music production.

Note: Even Steam worked, and the first game I installed (Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime) worked on the first try (!).

If you're in end-of-year tinker mode, consider picking up a used "mini computer" ("mini" is relative!) - slapping Linux on it, and making something cool.
> Just like hospitals unable to or refuse to disclose prices.

Yep or they give an estimate which explicitly says it can change based on the procedure's outcome and then your real bill is 3x the estimate even though you have signed paperwork from a doctor saying nothing out of the ordinary happened so you call your insurance company and mention this and they immediately deny your grievance form and say you're responsible for the full amount that's not covered.

Then you bring this up with the hospital and they say "an estimate is what it is, there's nothing we can do" and then you ask for them to assign you to someone who can walk you through the itemized bill which says stuff like "Code 0234 Unknown" and explain why it costs $6,354 dollars and they don't comply.

This is all after you've called half a dozen departments ahead of time to try and get an accurate price quote but were denied by everyone. It's no surprise that bills get sent to collections.

For anyone out there in the US, I highly encourage you to record every single phone conversation you have with anything medical related. It will save you.
That is, for now, 100% effective. I'm a former lead software scientist for one of the leading FR companies in the world. Pretty much all FR systems trying to operate at real time use a tiered approach to facial recognition. First detect for generic faces in an image, which collects various things that are not human faces but do collect every human face in an image. That's tier 1 image / video frame analysis, and the list of potential faces is passed on for further processing. This tier 1 analysis is the weakest part, if you can make your face fail the generic face test, it is as if you are invisible to the FR system. The easiest way to fail that generic face test is to not show your face, or to show a face that is "not human" such as has too many eyes, two noses, or a mouth above your eyes in place of any eyebrows. Sure, you'll stand out like a freak to other humans, but to the FR system you'll be invisible.
You're making a different point than you think...
lmk if there might be a way I can help with that, I don't think anyone's posted an issue about jetbrains issues—not for a long time at least
