If this scenario happens, BTC will have demonstrated enormous power and value, and it is supposedly designed precisely to resist such attacks.

I also doubt on the feasibility of a global crackdown on miners in the entire world.
I want to experiment with deep learning by training on the GPU, but the price even for used cards just makes me put it off. :-O. If it doesn't come down soon tho, I might cave and buy one.
Perhaps the flagger simply put this post in the "truly terrible" category- it retreads old and tired arguments without ever introducing any new depth or nuance.
Pressure sensitivity on a musical keyboard is known as "aftertouch" and is generally implemented in a "monophonic" way, the effect of pressure on any key is applied to all the currently depressed keys. The CS-80 implements aftertouch on a per-key basis, rather than common to all the keys. This allows it to be more naturally expressive. There have been a few MIDI keyboards that implemented CS-80 style aftertouch, but it's extremely rare and many of the implementations have been less than brilliant (but Ensoniq deserves recognition for even trying to do it on some very reasonably priced equipment).
Court cases aren't just about the verdict. What was revealed about the inner culture of KP was very enlightening...and I suspect we're about to be enlightened about similar things at Facebook and Twitter.

If at the very least these conversations start happening out in the open, this case is a large step forward for the gender discussion in tech.
It's hard maintaining great security because, security and speed are usually in direct opposition.

In terms of hardware/OS:
Turn off everything incoming except for HTTPS, SSH, and ping (optional).
Make sure everyone uses SSH keys (no passwords)

In terms of programming, focus on security roles is tricky at first. So you want to be careful in describing how user roles or user permissions work in your site.

Create a staging server with test data that mimics your production site (nearly exactly). Any penetration company company will ask you to sign a "This won't hurt anything", when smashing up your server.

Another place to focus is how backups are copied, who can access the data, etc..

This is a really big topic. Your insurance company when you apply will have an excellent check list.
Basically, some attacker (suspected to be the Chinese government) hijacked Baidu (and Baidu users) to perform a DDoS attack on specific Github repos pertaining to GreatFire.org (a site dedicated to mirroring sites/content that were censored by the Chinese government).

The attack has since been addressed by GitHub (it relies on XSS, so GitHub was actually able to inject a Javascript `alert()` to each attack attempt; this not only warns the user that the site is doing naughty things, but also stops further JS execution IIRC), and it seems the attack itself has also stopped.

There are a lot of jobs in tech, but they mostly seem to be small companies trying to pay little. So to get by at 15€ a hour, you'll probably find a lot of offers.

Accommodation is cheap, I pay 400€ for 50sqm, a friend of mine pays 550 for 70sqm with 3 rooms. That's in a central part of town. In general, between 320 - 600 you can find a pretty reasonable place for a person to live alone.

Döner costs €2.50, a chinese meal off a stall costs €3.00, a restaurant meal in some small restaurant 5€ or 6€, in some normal restaurant maybe 9€ to 12€. Beer costs €3 in most clubs and bars, cocktails €4.50 to €8.00.

Transport costs €70 a month for the train? Not so sure about this. Parking is easy on the outskirts, but the very center of town you usually need to pay in a parkhouse.

Lots of english speaking people, and it's very popular for euro-immigrants (france, england, spain, etc), so a very western europe scene, and very easy to get by on english only.

Berlin generally has a bad work climate (I've heard people say), so if I were you, I'd apply for 10-20 jobs from Warsaw, then come over, stay a week in a ferienwohnung, do all the interviews and if you find one you like, move here. Moving without a job could put you under undue pressure. Warsaw is just 4 hours by train, is it not?

I believe there are a lot of young companies in Berlin, so I don't think the Airbus style jobs are really available here.

Did that really help? On my screen, your paragraph is about 10 characters longer than his, and about twice as opaque.

> Seventeen is prime, not because of any empirical evidence, but because it has to be prime under the definition of primality.

This is rather question begging. There are plenty of sets of rules that are inconsistent. The real question is why following the rules of arithmetic/primality never seems to lead to contradiction. There are mainly two reasons why we believe these rules to be consistent: we've used the rules over and over and have never found any contradiction, and we perceive the rules to be about something - the natural numbers. If you perceive the natural numbers the way that I do, then it should seem clear to you that searching for a contradiction in arithmetic is a fool's errand. So are these natural numbers that we perceive "real"? How do we perceive them? My opinion is that philosophy of such matters is a rather hopeless endeavor. I'm sure the philosophers have lots of new definitions and concepts built up to describe the situation, but how much progress can you really hope to make here?

Transactions aren't armchair quarterbacking. Binary backups aren't armchair quarterbacking. Separating development from production isn't armchair quarterbacking. Kindly, you have no idea what you're talking about.

You can't give them credit for the repositories being mostly intact, when the ONLY parts that broke were the parts they mucked with to tie them into their database.

> but the reality of startups is that it very much is a race and features, for availability or recovery

And those are exactly the places where they screwed up.
Reasonable yes, but I don't think you can go as far as to say that it's ideal.

The ideal state for an economy is one where the rate of inflation/deflation is determined by the market. This would happen if central banks were disbanded and the production/circulation of currency was left to a (regulated) private sector with a healthy number of competing companies innovating to have the best currency on the market.

What we are seeing now is a natural adjustment to years of accumulating debt under an artificial, inflation-targeting central banking system. Central banks have tried their best to prevent deflation in order to support the debt-driven "fractional-reserve" system that has created an unsustainable network of debt that is no longer tied to the productivity of real assets. A system of competing private currencies would remove artificial signals manufactured by central bank monetary policy and gov. fiscal policy.

This article links to https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-sees-spike-in-carjackings..., which links to the actual source article https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2021/2/22/22295471/grand-t....

The latter article offers slightly more detail:

> Rep. Marcus Evans Jr. wants to amend a 2012 law preventing some video games from being sold to minors. Friday, he filed HB3531, which would amend that law to ban the sale to anyone of video games depicting “psychological harm,” including “motor vehicle theft with a driver or passenger present.”

> Besides addressing carjacking, the bill also changes the definition of a “violent video game” to one in which players “control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal.”

(Chapter Two is left as an exercise for the student?)

The comment “What an idiot I was,” I thought. “That was just an axiom, it is called commutativity. One doesn’t prove axioms.” is interesting. What's chosen as an axiom, and why, is an advanced question. Unless you get into foundations of mathematics, that question is seldom addressed. It's way beyond most pre-college math teachers. It's the sort of question that occurs to smart kids, but there's no easy answer you can give them. The usual answers are theological, and boil down to "shut up, kid". Here's a discussion on Stack Exchange of that subject: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/127158/in-what-sense...

(If you get into automatic theorem proving, you have to address such issues head-on. Adding an inconsistent axiom can create a contradiction and break the system. This leads to constructive mathematics, Russell and Whitehead, Boyer and Moore, and an incredible amount of grinding just to get the basics of arithmetic and number theory locked down solid. In constructive mathematics, commutativity of integer addition is a provable theorem, not an axiom.

I once spent time developing and machine-proving a constructive theory of arrays, without the "axioms" of set theory. The "axioms" of arrays are in fact provable as theorems using constructive methods. It took a lot of automated case analysis, but I was able to come up with a set of theorems which the Boyer-Moore prover could prove in sequence to get to the usual rules for arrays. Some mathematicians who looked at that result didn't like seeing so much grinding needed to prove things that seemed fundamental. This was in the 1980s; today's mathematicians would not be bothered by a need for mechanized case analysis.)
Haha just had a little competition with my French wife. I sound more French than her with my Basil Fawlty-style accent!

I don’t agree. Your examples are both extremely touristy and stereotyped heavily in media... largely produced in those locations.

The regional stereotypes I’m familiar with are... stereotypes. They’re true. They just might not be true about any particular individual who lives there. And they’re true because these are largely learned behaviors.

Are they useful? Well, in aggregate they might give you some patience and understanding if you’re going to that region and have to interact with the people. Lots of behaviors you might consider rude might actually be friendly or at least polite there. And while you may not be able to assume an individual from a place matches the stereotype, it’s a pretty safe bet if they match the stereotype they’ve got a connection to the place.
No comment on the rant other than to say that when I read this I thought to myself that given the author is referring to WRH then that’s definitely got to be Xanadu. And Wikipedia has just confirmed that it is!

My point being that should anyone ever want to see this argument made much more cogently (while also getting to appreciate one of the greatest films ever made) maybe give Citizen Kane a watch.

For most people in most companies, the choice is between hacking something together in Excel over the weekend that will mostly work (with a few bugs); or to give your project to the IT department and wait at least six months for them to fail anyway.
It's not a reporter's job to protect people from their own conflicting interests. They can choose to withhold parts of a story after processing the ethical considerations, but "associating my name with the thousands of pages of opinion I've published on controversial subjects would damage my reputation" isn't a clear cut issue. It's a judgement call, he could have done it either way, but that Metz went ahead and attributed the works to their actual author doesn't make him an asshole.
Yes tinnitus can come and go. Generally it is worse when things are quiet. Some amount of background noise can reduce it. I have hearing loss induced tinnitus and just wearing hearing aids seems to suppress much of the tinnitus due to the increased background noise.

Another thing to be careful about is some medications can aggravate tinnitus. My me it was my BP medicine. Switch to a different one made an immediate improvement.
> The most important thing is to be able to think what you want, not to say what you want. [...] Draw a sharp line between your thoughts and your speech

While this is wise life advice, it's also an invitation to hypocrisy. A collective hypocrisy in which everyone might think one way and speak another. And sometimes this will have consequences: will you defend from public lynching the one who said what everybody thinks? Will you betray yourself when you thought you were in a safe context, only for your words to be reported and used against you?
Holy hell, this is terrifying! Let me get this right: do 14 different things you're not at all used to doing. And if you make a small error, you can easily trash the motor, break your wrist, cause an accident. Have I summarized this correctly? Wow.
Until I made as much in my side project as my day job. It was interesting because I simultaneously jumped jobs so I would increase my salary, and now my side project had to match the new salary haha. But it was worth it because I was making 2x my salary for a time.

JS implement numbers as strings (has bitten me once).

Last time I looked at, there was no blocking IO at all (there is continuation, but it does not solve the problem because there isn't any locking mechanism - yep, I'd like atomic locking at my bytecode too). That's even the main "selling point" Node.js people throw around as if it was a good thing.

By easy integration I mean the hability of using capabilities available at the system, but not exported into the language runtime. It can be solved by something that would let me query the sandbox enviroment for the existence of a "library" that exports foreign functions, and use it. Also, something that by the other side lets me write and distribute one such "library" so people can install them on their browsers let JS use its functionality.
We had a guest lecture from a visitor who worked for a penetration testing company. It was surprising how easy he described (in person) social engineering to gain access to privileged areas and information to be. I can imagine that's one of the hardest areas to defend, especially when some companies have so many potentially vulnerable members of staff.
No, let's look at it from a more philosophically objective point of view.

Some info that would be helpful to understand your situation more:

- which country are you based in? (each country's job market is wildly different); are you native of that country?

- do you apply in response to job ads, or find companies you like and apply even if there are no openings?

If I can advise something regarding no responses: finding a recruiter (on LinkedIn etc.) and talking to them directly might yield better responses than applying via a blackbox website (although this is just my gut feeling).

Honestly, Signal's UI/usability used to be a valid critique, but now it's pretty much up to par with WhatsApp/Telegram. The only minor quip I've heard from friends transitioning to it is the lack of bold/italics/etc, which Signal announced they're working on by implementing markdown.

I just wonder what city will arise as the capital of the Eastern American Empire. How long did the Roman Empire last after the split? 80 years (395-476, give or take). Yeah, I don't expect to live that long, but it's going to be rough downfall.

Hopefully we can create some kind of planetary federation to keep a lid on this privacy/freedom shit before it gets too out of hand.

It kills me that Joss wrote one of the better "tree of liberty" quotes in recent memory ... maybe that's just where we're at as a culture:

"Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave."
In theory you're right but I've often see reporting that is plain BS and serving some underlying political agenda rather then cold facts and/or reasonable analysis. So in those cases first hand info from the people who are actually there could make more sense.
The problem is every hospital is forecasting a dire need for ventilators in the next few weeks. COVID patients can take up a vent for nearly 3 weeks. Any vent that's sent to another hospital right now will likely be gone for the entire duration of this outbreak.

Anecdotally, my wife's hospital, in a rural county with 1 case, is already at ICU capacity and pushing the limit on vents.
We can’t build temporary quarantine centers, hermetically sealed units, gas mask or ventilators. We could predict all this and did, but incompetence. We could had made a coronavirus vaccine that could had potentially worked now, years ago. We could have general tests or fast tracked specific tests months ago.

All this seems like a much bigger problem than the virus itself. Our system is incapable of being efficient, effective or proactive.
And Europe send help to Asia a few months ago too. Korea happens to be an exception imho.
