I am still worried about privacy, and it seems like the design of PeerTube is no longer flexible enough to consider making the desired improvements. In particular, it sounds like peers can still know which videos somebody has requested.
It's kind of the point, in two ways. First, the constant usage of the Bible to justify political discourse is both a staple of the USA and also painfully stupid. It doesn't matter how nice of an imaginary picture is painted by the "city upon a hill"; it's still a religious and rose-tinted portrait. Exodus probably didn't happen, and so it is a nice story (like Harry Potter) but not worth bringing to the policy table.
Second, the Bible is just not very well-translated. Consider this instead:
You are the salt of the earth.
Your flavor brings merit and mirth.
But use too much extra, anybody could tell ya
Oversalted food has no worth.
You are the light of the world.
Like a town on a hill, you are pearled.
But in light we bask, only while it's unmask'd
So fly your town's flags high and unfurled.
Still terrible, but at least now it rhymes correctly.
Hypocritical, not ironic. You mean to highlight that the USA does not treat other sovereign states like the USA expects to be treated. There is no ironic contrast between the USA funding Crypto AG and China funding Huawei.
I really like how the current top two comment threads need to be glued together in order to get a coherent understanding of the timeline of this work.
As another algebraist (category theory and computational complexity), this makes a lot of sense. Euler's identity is capricious and Euclidean to me, and far from the most beautiful equation, although it is still remarkably elegant. I don't have any tattoos, but I might consider some categorical diagram; I don't know how I'd pick just one! Perhaps there is some cool way to draw the Snake Lemma with a realistic-looking snake.
Oh look, it's the gateway-drug argument [0] all over again.
The short version is that, for those other drugs that the grandparent listed in their comment, they are already scheduled for medical usage. Only the psychedelics are scheduled away from any legal usage.
Indeed, one would hope that the author knows enough category theory to know that choices of syntax are arbitrary and that choices of semantics are forced; any Turing-complete language will do, and the rest is optimization and trying to convince cooked rocks to do arithmetic.
Swift may have borrowed it from E, where the half-open variant is `1..!5`, read "from 1 up to, but not including, 5". It is extremely useful for 1-to-n sorts of counting tasks.
By your own numbers, this could translate to a 30-second AES key exfiltration in the cloud. This isn't a non-issue, even if you personally aren't affected.
Thanks for mentioning that not everybody responds well to Ritalin. I was medicated with it while in grade school, and it was not pleasant; the school nurse would check my mouth to make sure I took the pills each morning, because I would spit them out otherwise. To this day, I am not interested in taking medication for my mental health.
The norms haven't changed, but society is more atomized and thus the norms can't exert the pressure that they once did.
I would choose to starve, too. But I'd probably kill a few slavers before I went. Why not, right?
Put up a public Web page with your friend's location. Every time they do anything, update the page. After a day, show them the page, and explain what you've done. See if it gets through their thick skull then!
It's easy to make unethical technical decisions when you don't have to bear the cost, either. And yet, we expect better from people.
Presumably the garbage will stop getting posted as soon as HR departments stop writing it.
Right. We should all be using OpenTheory [0].
This pagoda and rock are nigh-unbelievable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyaiktiyo_Pagoda I am amazed that, despite all the traffic and building, the rock has not moved.
Presumably the grandparent is thinking of organisms like Pando [0].
Ah, and that explains the neutron star skepticism [0] too.

The Sea Peoples were real, and so was the Bronze Age collapse. There's no need to speculate about Atlantis when we know that there was a very real epidemic of Mediterranean civilizations collapsing due to pressure from invaders.
Foucault would politely disagree; he used "schizophrenic" (literally, "a mind split into pieces") to describe the way that (post)modern society uses symbols and signs to point at cultural features, without actually understanding how those cultural features interact. In such a society, the signs themselves, and they way in which they chain into each other, become the primary meanings, replacing the cultural features entirely.
The parent reasonably points out two families of sign-chains and sketches how they conflict by emphasizing how the signs espouse conflicting opinions on male sexuality.
What I find interesting is the implicit assumption that the underlying function being learned is differentiable or continuous to begin with. That's not always the case; for example, we often work with "categorically labeled" discrete binning problems.
You're entirely correct. As an Oregonian, there's really only one reason that I enjoy this law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjhhkuvTq9g
(If you're not able to watch videos right now, this is a video of a person using a plastic bag as a gasoline container at a self-service station.)
History repeats itself. LBJ knew that Nixon and Kissinger had sabotaged the Vietnam peace talks, and almost certainly ensured LBJ would lose to Nixon at the voting booths, but couldn't do anything because he came to know about the sabotage by questionable FBI techniques.
We can both blame the FBI for domestic misbehavior, and simultaneously recognize that, as LBJ put it, "Dammit, it's treason!" when Nixon and Kissinger interfered in foreign policy in order to sway an election. Or when Trump and Giuliani do it.
See, that name sounds like religion-down-the-throat. When I was younger, and I volunteered at a food bank in (let's call it) Foo County, it was called "Food for Foo County". Ambiance matters.
I'm not sure whether a covered car can be brutalist, to be honest. When I think of a brutalist car design, I think of go-karts.
Other features of brutalist design:
* By exposing the skeleton, the object shows itself as a platform that can be built upon. However, the Cybertruck's convex hull and covered, armored plating do not lend themselves to confident self-expression, but instead drown out any attempt at customization.
* The purpose of the object is apparent and plain in its construction. The Cybertruck's wheels give away that it is a rolling vehicle of some sort, but otherwise its design does not indicate that it is road-worthy, fast, durable, rideable, etc.
* One of the article's main points: The object should, in its humility, elevate a shared societal viewpoint. Quoting from one of the experts in the article:
The truck is consumerist, whereas brutalism’s monumentality is civic. The truck’s boldness serves the bravado of an individual, whereas brutalism’s visual power was meant to project the shared dignity of the public realm.
The other quote that is worth repeating:
[But] we don’t see any bolts or gaskets or other details of joinery. Brutalist architects would never allow this. They wanted the method of making and the assembly of parts to be legible — to be put on display as a way of being vividly honest. This was a core principle, and the sleek machined quality of the Cybertruck is ultimately a disqualifying characteristic.
The top 5% is not wealthy enough to be affected by the proposed wealth taxes that people are currently fearing. Even the top 1% is not totally affected.
Yes, some of us are in the top 10%, even in the top 5%. No, we are not going to be up against the wall just for having a modicum of success.
And yet this reasoning works for every newspaper with an editorial/opinion section: The opinion and editorial columns are not held to the same standard as the rest of the paper.
I work in a dozen-story building, colocated with a half-dozen other tech companies. There is a daycare on the first floor. There's also a couple loud restaurant. However, due to quality construction practices, adjacent floors are not audible.
I'll name two that meet every requirement except for passing. You tell us why they haven't passed. [0][1] Hint: Pro-labor legislation has difficulty getting votes.
