The world as a whole is in one of its most peaceful periods ever. The 1990s saw a genocide in Europe, horrific civil wars in Africa, before that you had the Cold War with all of its attendant problems.

Growth and Peace aren't mutually incompatible aims.
>One would assume

One would be quite foolish to assume strong OpSec from drug seekers and their enablers. We've seen case after case resulting from these busts with absolutely trivial investigations necessary to locate the defendants.
Professional truck drivers usually leave lots of space in front of them.

Yes, occasionally somebody cuts in, but that does not happen too often.

The same would happen with automated cars.

One of the key road safety rules is: "Give way to the fool".
Issa.
Why not just pipe the output of tail -f through less?
This is an amazing thread, just want to make sure people in this one know.
I would have preferred this to only be submitted after the other half was published, given it's only tomorrow.
Yeah, I'm curious about that attitude. Not personally examining the grandparent (to whom I wish a long and happy marriage), but is that a real thing, that a woman would break off a promising life because of the lack of a diamond ring? If she would, does that indicate that she doesn't know how to otherwise value a mate, or sees it as an overriding signal of this mate's suitability (even over rational things like job prospects, attractiveness, health, kindness)?
Thanks for the pointers! I'll take these into consideration next time I'm on the market (which might be this year... I'm not a huge fan of my commute)
Yeah, the $0.25 transfer fee is going away. We didn't want to penalize platforms for transferring earnings to their sellers more frequently.
Webflow.com -- hands down. Having used Wix, Squarespace, Weebly and WordPress, Webflow just provides you with so much more control and pixel perfect accuracy.

Although the learning curve is a little higher than SquareSpace/Wix, it's actually worth it. As a non-dev designer, it has allowed us to deploy all our sites effortlessly with the same fluidity and crisp animations as you'd expect from a grassroots buildup. It also allows you to export your (clean) code.

I honestly would never go back to anything. Webflow is how a GUI for website builders should be.
"embedded" could be used in a spy context, but is not the right word for describe scientists. I would suggest cooperating or simply working instead.
The US is a very right wing country. If you're not from there then there's a good chance that the Democratic Party is more right wing than your countries major right wing party.
> Money in band account that is not used is just a number. As Fed puts more money into the economy, the velocity of money decreases as the money is used less. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V

A couple questions because I don't understand this very well.

Do we have an idea how much is actually sitting in a bank account vs being put into the market?

And, if people put money into stocks and park it there, wouldn't the velocity still be much lower than it usually is (when people are spending more on goods and services)? My interpretation of what's being shown here is that a large amount of newly "printed" money has gone into the stock market, thereby inflating asset prices. I don't see how low velocity refutes that.
My MVP is my son now, there's no time after work to do anything but take care of him. Do your dreams now before you have a family.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to reverse that order?

1. Identify good people.

2. Attract them.

Beyond a certain amount of financial security, what attracts me is probably not what attracts you.
Yes I'm serious, I'm 26 if it makes a difference. More than $50 million worth of GameStop stock was shorted today. When there are people out there taking such risky positions, proving them wrong and taking their money -- and even the prospect of doing so -- is extremely amusing. I stand to lose a few thousand dollars. Whoever is on the other side of this transaction stands to lose hundreds of millions, if not billions. The competitive aspect of it makes it exciting. The rest of my portfolio is not nearly as interesting, not even the crypto.
I find this type of argument confusing. Let's say we did live in a world where their hypotheses were true. To make it concrete, let's say that a SuperAI was 20 years away and would wipe out humanity. How would we be able to know that right now, other than through the type of speculative inference you're criticizing?

Put another way, just because something is impossible to demonstrate conclusively and/or via observed reality does not automatically mean it can't be true, right? Of course it does mean that these claims warrant far more skepticism, and probably the large majority of them are untrue. But it seems obviously incorrect to automatically assume that they can not be true. Am I misunderstanding your reasoning in some way?
SV isn't a city; it's mostly suburban sprawl. In most metro areas, you can get to reasonable property prices while still being in the gravitational well of a city even if you wouldn't want to commute into the downtown every day day.
Is this for freelancers or permits?
> Is SSG a static site generator? I'm pretty sure Known is a SQL database backed dynamic kind of thing. I looked at it several years ago and I don't remember it being static.

You're right, I glanced over it too quickly. Installing it is still too much for anyone without basic web development or system administration skills.

> I know very little about WordPress. I do know there are IndieWeb plugins for it. To what extent WordPress might be usable for you, I wouldn't have any idea.

From the chat log it's my understanding that the theme handles markup as opposed to plugins. So it seems unlikely that you could rely on plugins alone to get full functionality.
In India, they ramped up salaries after years of delayed pay commissions. Now cyber security guys in Government (even on contractual terms) are paid better than their private counterparts on average. For instance a malware reverse engineer might be paid around INR 600,000 (just starting out) - INR 40,00,000 (technical managers) on average in private sector. In Government, they vary between INR 10,00,000 - INR 50,00,000 per year along with a lot of extra perks. The downside is that positions are few, the hiring process is painfully slow and involves a lot of bureaucracy.

There is a woeful lack of cyber security acumen in government to actually amp up their hiring practices and strategy.
Start with a small set of binoculars! They are critically underrated. I think the best part of amateur astronomy is knowing the sky in an intuitive way. With a pair of 7x35 binos (~40 USD online) and a dark site you can see a ton of stuff and they're dead simple to use. And you'll still get a lot of use out of them as a finding-aid with larger aperture equipment. I keep a small set in my car just in case I'm ever at a dark site.

Even if you live in a heavily light polluted city, you can do something astronomy-adjacent with binos: satellite hunting! HeavensAbove[1] has a really nice free android app for it. Satellites are mainly visible at dusk or dawn, and dusk is a lot easier than staying up late depending on your schedule. Plus it's like a race, they may only up for less than a couple minutes, so you have to have a keen sky-sense to pick them out. It's cool being able to know what they are too -- "huh, that's some Soviet rocket booster from the 70's"!

It’s the first time I ever came across the opinion that anyone in the Middle Eastern region is considered native to historical Palestine because of Ottoman citizenship. At best, this is technically correct but practically useless. What would you say if a bunch of bedouins from the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula decided in 1948 that they were sick of the desert and went to conquer Palestine displace its present inhabitants?
The concept of exclusivity is one of the rights of ownership, generally. There's none of that when you "purchase" an NFT that represents a "digital print", and, while it does support the artist (just like a direct payment would), there is precisely zero to indicate that such an NFT would increase in value with an artist's popularity. It's not like if you pay 10x for it as the second owner you get to hang it on your wall and the first owner doesn't. Also, precisely zero of that value increase would go to "support the artist" - all of the profit would go to the original speculator.

I'm a big blockchain advocate and I can't see any point to NFTs either, other than for perhaps tracking ownership of specific physical objects. For digital files of any kind, there's no exclusivity that "ownership" confers.
Right, but somehow such page formatting
has become a favorite fad on the Web.

So, as usual, I had Firefox put the text
on the system clipboard, pulled that text
into my favorite editor, used a favorite
macro to insert a blank line after every
existing line, used a macro to flow the
text to a column width of just 60
characters, but honoring existing left
indents (nice macro), used another macro
to remove extra blank lines,
and, then, read the text easily, in my
favorite editor, with large, dark fonts.

Worked fine! Gee, such formatting can
also be done in HTML and CSS, right?
I thought so! Without JavaScript?
Yup. Without the screen jumping around
from JavaScript reacting to cursor
movements? Yup. So, that I can actually
read the actual text? Yup. Ah,
a world with such wonders in it!
Just a few editor macros to clean up
a total mess of a Web page and
enable reading the actual text!
The text, the text, the actual text,
being able actually to read the
actual text -- will wonders never
cease!

"Formatted poorly" you say! Such
delicacy, such circumlocution, such
discreet decorum, such reticence, such
dignity and restraint!!! Me? I'd
just scream myself hoarse with outrage
except I've done that too often and
found it doesn't help but just using
my favorite editor does! Or, just
have Firefox give me the HTML and
use my favorite editor to change
each case of <...> to a single blank --
that can work well, too!
Very cool - I've been waiting for someone to figure out GPU computing on the Rpi for a while now. This is potentially a very substantial increase in available processing power.

I don't see performance numbers there - could someone with a Pi please run the FFT and compare against a CPU implementation?

I wonder how similar the Mali design would be. Obviously the technical details will be different, but would it be similar in broad strokes? Most Rpi-alikes have Mali 400s or 450s.
Yes, sorry about that. It was a bug in some code we deployed this morning. It affected 172 comments. We've fixed those and fixed the bug.
It may be still too early to tell but it seems there is enough interest to keep it alive. It's been almost a year since the project started and it has over 120 contributors, over 2500 commits and doesn't seem very top loaded on the project owner (who is responsible for only 18% of the commits).
I thought about moving away from gmail too but to be honest, gmail has all my emails. 99% of my friends use gmail.
Fair enough. Though using COM seems like a terrible way to have to do this, which might explain why nearly no one (compared to FF/Chrome) bother.
Teletext was pretty big in the 90s before broadband took off. It was easily accessible to a lot of people, including older viewers. Television was the primary source of media for a lot of people (followed by radio and newspaper), and Teletext was pretty much the only way to get near real-time updates of what was happening at any point in time.
Expected to see a long list of algorithm design books, but was pleasantly surprised.

"In this case however it all still makes sense to be in one class, but the class simply grows too big." - would be nice to see some examples, I bet anything can be split in a nice way.
It's the ability which is best trained by studying mathematics (even if totally unrelated to programming).

Do not listen to those saying it's not possible. We do implement programming languages based on their specifications, we implement protocols by reading RFCs, we implement numeric algorithms by reading pseudocode in the papers, etc.

It's all trivial and mechanical. The latter notion is very important, one have to understand that there is very rarely a place for "creativity" and even thinking. You simply translate specification from one formal language into another, following simple rules. Thinking too much considered harmful.
That is just sad. So I guess that only leaves them with one option and that is to eliminate the other side, since educating/mentoring is not in their interests?
Passwords are in themselves not really secure. The problem is that when somebody gets a hold of your password somehow, he can log into your systems indefinitely. And leaking a password is easier than most people think (for example, a keylogger installed on a public machine or even on your own machine physically or through an OS exploit).

Hence it is much better to use one-time-passwords. And I guess what we need is a universal method to communicate these passwords to our computers, by means of an external cryptographic device. A good first step could be an infrared cryptographic transceiver built into our keyboards. And a cryptographic device could be built into our smart-watches (finally a good use for them!)
Mam is exactly what I am waiting for too.

It should be in prosody 0.10 [1] (not stable yet) but I did not yet have a change to test it.

(And XEP-0313 is still quite new and experimental)

I thought those were considered to be a bad idea because they blasted all of the germs from your hands all over the room?

Also, my kids won't use them because they're too loud.
'Richard DiBona, a 53-year-old software manager at Wayfair, sent a message to his team letting them know he would probably be “getting bugged more” by his kids due to his wife’s new high-level job.'

The obvious solution being for Mrs. DiBona to retire and apply herself full-time to raising the kids. That would totally free-up Richard DiBonas' time.

Seriously though, no business owes an employee extra privileges in relation to their domestic arrangements.
> People don't have too few assets because there aren't any secure assets to invest in. There are plenty already.

People have too few assets because they are constantly forced by society to support parasites.

> People have too few assets because they aren't paid enough for their labor to be able to save

Yeah, between zero percent interest rates and quantitative easing, the government and the oligarchs keep eating the fat out of their wages and they don’t have any money left over. Of course this is the point of monetary policy so we invented bitcoin to provide those people with a save haven.

> and another class of wealth won't increase the value of labor.

It makes wealth accessible to labor.

> impede democratic efforts to redistribute wealth to the poor, thus "protecting wealth" ... from the people.

You misspelled “oligarchs” as “poor” and then again as “people”
That's from an end users perspective. From a merchant's perspective if they provide that QR code they now have the additional burden of custody of a bunch of crypto assets which means learning about, installing, making a specific bank account to sell the coins, dealing with tax burdens, etc which is a lot of work and risk for someone already overworked and stressed by their primary business.

Or they can just use a payment network like Visa or Mastercard and not have to worry about any of that. You pay with BTC or ETH and the merchant receives USD. Everyone's happy. The merchant doesn't have to hire an additional crypto-specialized IT person or spend 6 months diving down the rabbit hole like we did. They just run their business.
But they do upgrade cars because they look old or because they can afford better car, even if the old one is still in good working condition.

Soon all phones will offer basically same functionality with only minor differences. After some point there will be no more gains from more camera or screen pixels, more cores, more gigabytes of storage. The only reason to buy a new phone will be if the old one broke or if you feel to switch to a new phone to follow trends.
Oh I don't know let me list a few:

* International transactions easier than regular currencies
* No third-party seizure
* Security and control (user autonomy)
* Anonymity, privacy and no tracking (just make sure your wallet ID is not to your personal ID)
* No risk of chargebacks (better for vendors)
* Transparent and neutral (how much did you trust banks in 2008?)

You may not value some of the above and indeed some vendors may not, but I don't think you can say that is true about everyone.
Seems like they could easily turn the PCB into something you can just order online instead of this labor some vinyl cutter technique.

> Do you recommend a professional if you have rental income?

Unless you know exactly what your cost basis is, yes. It gets complicated with construction loans, HELOCs, refinances, having lived in a property for quite a while before renting, etc.
There is also OpenTaxSolver: http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/

Which, if it works for you, is both free and open source.
> You also don't want to disable this visual warning because on slower devices it might take 2 seconds to load the page which is much different than an uncontrolled disconnect.

You can restrict the visual warning to the first load only, it would be pretty distracting otherwise.
A solid amount of suspension of disbelief is necessary to enjoy Christopher Nolan movies. It's quite awkward, actually, but it works because people love a good story more than reality (, which is quite relevant to entrepreneurship / pitching! :-) )
Almost every issue with software in general is because developers made assumptions.
From the article:

“MMT is not a theory of how the economy works, but rather a set of political memes to push for more deficit spending.”

Put another way, MMT is the fallback defense for why a “modern government” like the USA can make the money printer go brrrrr.
Can you point to any real world instance where someone is "marketing" NOFAP and profiting (or attempting to profit) from it?

This assertion seems odd to me.

More importantly: you should not assume that just because you do not suffer from porn addiction that others do not suffer from it.
This guys got it handled and boy is he tough.
>Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst is a salesman who makes shit art. Jeff Koons makes things that are at least amusing. I don't think that these are taken seriously by too many people, and they won't be in the future.
"The push has involved aggressively wooing brands and large ad agencies such as Omnicom Group, whilst simultaneously seeking to temper the dark underbelly of the platform — once a hotbed for far-right and misogynist groups — after years of criticism for perceived underpolicing."

Statements like this are humorous to me. While it's undoubtedly true that reddit was used by some disgusting far-right ideologues, it's still a hotbed for misandrists (TwoX and FemaleDatingStrategy), anti-white racists (BlackPeopleTwitter, many others), violent, radical left-wing ideologues (riot strategies discussed and planned in the open in summer 2020), blatant child grooming, and many other subgroups that are easily categorized as belonging to the "dark underbelly". As long as they're not right wing, they're not worth mentioning explicitly I guess.

The dichotomy of political concern, as well as the fact that reddit has an increasingly large and dominant population of literal children is why I'm awaiting this IPO with massive expectations that I'll be thoroughly entertained by how it turns out in the next few years. Community content curation by left wing ideologically homogeneous children seems like a very winning strategy for a businesses and advertisers.
I’m a fairly new user. I stayed away because I never use my real bike, but a friend got one and said it was helping his air efficiency for scuba.

I have to admit that this is unlike any workout machine I’ve had. Being totally silent is a big deal; I could watch Tv, take a call, or just generally feel less like I’m working. The classes are also a huge deal; I didn’t know my forms and I wouldn’t structure my own workouts to have the interval training they do. The leaderboards against both other students and my own personal PR push me every day (I just beat my last PR by 8%!).

I really hope the company stays afloat. This has been the best I’ve adhered to a workout plan in almost a decade.
Compasses and straightedges were their attempt to distill the nature of plane geometry down to its essential and simplest form (lines and circles).

Yep, I have look at nimrod, julia, and barely at dylan. My target syntax is more like python/julia/elixir, and all with relational programing as first-class.

The thing I'm now is how implement macros (and how deeply), not the syntax, is kinda easy to see the way with lisp, but still not with more "normal" syntax.

Also, I have tough (in a way to provide linq-like capabilities) if could be nice to have this = that (evaluate that and put on this) and this ::= that (get the AST on this and later evalualte this) and let decorate the functions with "fun(test:AST.LogicalOp)", so macros at runtime, not just compile time..
It's for this antiquated technology called a "book", where you lay out every other page to the right or left, respectively, to account for this thing that people once called a "margin".
Instead of forcing others to waste their time and money to suit your irrational need for a security theatre, why don't spend your own time and money moving somewhere else with lots of security - like North Korea.
Any pointers? I was under the impression that nobody besides socialists takes LTV serious anymore. And I gave some reasons why it doesn't make sense. I haven't heard any counterpoints that make me think investing more time into it would be worthwhile.

Edit: from Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value ) it seems quite a mess, perhaps a bit like planning economy where they add yet another equation to account for yet another problem, but they can never really capture it all. But at the end of the day, what is it useful for, other than making "worker demands"? Can you use it to compute anything useful? I highly doubt it. In another way it might just be saying "energy determines the price of everything", in archaic terms when energy was mostly "labor".

It seems much more practical and sensible to simply go with market prices.
Can someone marry this with QuickJS and make a micro node competitor with a web server, 0 deps and no install?

Wonder how far something like that could go, could be really interesting for replacing bash for me with something easier to write like JS.
