MMT is a philosophy or branch of economics. The Bretton Woods System was an actual binding set of resolutions (based on its own philosophies). They are not related or even sequential in any way.

Also, Bretton Woods was very much covered in my high school history classes.
Ahem, you need to full supervisor support as well with virtual memory (page table walkers, TLBs etc). And atomics. And floating point (etc).

This is all non-trivial and would make the design ~ twice as big and likely impact the cycle times in a rather sad way. But possible of course.

Anecdata: Full RocketChip (RV64GC) built for ECP5 85F comes in at 54k LUTs (out of 84k) and clocked at 14.8 MHz. However, the cycle time is related to the FPU which assumes retiming which yosys can't do. Without the FPU it's a more reasonable 50-60 MHz.

At least for certain types of art, sites such as pixiv and danbooru are useful for training ML models: all the images on them are tagged and classified already.
>@elonmusk We hear you are extremely confident that you’ll have level five next year (no longer need to pay attention at all). Want to wager $10k on that? We think you’ll win, but not that fast.

If Musk takes the bet he'll be $10k poorer. We all know it won't happen for years.
I've seen database profiling numbers from some of my clients, but obviously I can't publish those. To be clear all I'm claiming is that for most webapps the overwhelming majority of database queries are simple indexed column lookups, not that most webapps are putting document blobs in the database or using EAV style or anything like that.
Depends on how you do it. Some places do fines based on income, not dollar amounts. E.g., the rich Finn who had a $103k speeding ticket: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/03/finland...

In the US, especially during this new gilded age, I'd probably change that to be a percentage of total wealth or a percentage of annual income, whichever is larger.
The other scary part to all of this is that the AWS credentials for deployments are usually pretty super-powered.

If I was a hacker, I guess I know what servers I'd have my sights set on right now. A goldmine for super-powered AWS creds (and source code).
> enforce things like OFAC and sanctions.

This all the way. Not being able to just reach into your financial affairs would be seen as a huge affront. This is similar to how law enforcement believes encryption is a major impediment to building a case.

Years ago, at a time when money was tight, a bank transfer to my landlord for rent disappeared. OFAC seized the funds. The best reason I can come up with is that my landlord has a Muslim-sounding name (I don't actually know his nationality or religion).

It took many calls to my bank to learn this information. The whole thing was shrouded in messaging that it was delayed and would post "tomorrow," day after day. Finally, someone at a branch had some compassion and spent some time figuring it out.

I received a case number or incident number and was told that I could contest the seizure. A family member helped me cover the rent. I sent a form contesting the seizure and switched to depositing post office money orders into my landlord's local branch, which was a huge inconvenience.

Eventually, I received a letter from OFAC stating some excuse that I can't even remember why my case was moot. This was after maybe six months. I gave up.

It wasn't worth it, to me, to fight the government bureaucracy that I knew would be involved. Sorta like paying a traffic ticket that you know you could beat in court because it's easier than going to court. They can basically do whatever and get away with it by making things a pain in the ass to fight.

You're giving management one more data point that this situation doesn't make sense.

Engineering manager don't care about complaints you're making while smiling and trying to be nice, they care about employees churn rate.

Hopefully things will change for the good in the future.
You can of course deal directly with credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard - they have well documented APIs for interfacing with them directly.

Back in the late 90s, RedHat bought a small company in Pittsburgh which made a rather awesome product called CCVS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCVS) which allowed you to talk directly to the credit card companies, circumventing the merchant accounts.

My employer started using CCVS to provide direct credit card services at the time, and I wrote a PHP module which shipped for a few years as part of PHP core for using it.

Sadly, RedHat discontinued the product ; I'm not sure if anyone else has stepped up to do something similar but it was incredibly easy to use, powerful and got around the absurd restrictions most merchant accounts provide.

I'm assuming Square is talking directly to the CC clearing houses, which is how they keep their costs reasonable.

Seems like a very fun place to work .
It's for optimization, at run-time you could handle functions with more arguments, but with this it can be compiled to directly call the exact function based on the number of arguments statically used at the call-site and their type.

To do this though, you need a defined static type for the type of Functions each of a different number of arguments.

22 is just where they stopped to keep defining those types.
Negative externalities should be regulated to some degree. Otherwise we could have a tragedy of the commons situation.

I'm usually in favor of free market-influenced methods such as taxing negative externalities and subsidizing positive ones. So instead of forcing a company to install solar panels, the city could provide a tax incentive for everyone in the city to do so. The overhead of managing that could become large though, so I understand why sometimes more small scale and direct individual negotiations can be good.

>No, it's not a negotiation. Negotiation can occur between similarly empowered entities. There is no negotiation when one side has the power to lock the other up at gunpoint.

They wouldn't say do this or you'll go to jail. They would say do this or we won't give you a giant tax cut. It would be unconstitutional to throw people in one company in jail for something that's fine for others to do.[1]

>Are you sure Amazon, Google and Microsoft don't have this competitive stack because they don't want to enter that market or are in that market solely for themselves

They have "competition" in the market, it's just horrible. Because storage is hard.

>Storage may be a multi-billion dollar market - but it's also razor thin margin compared to where those brands focus their R&D spend.

I'm going to let you go back and review the earnings reports from the aforementioned companies. Razor thin margins? You wouldn't survive in the market with razor thin margins.

> I'd argue those you've named don't have interest selling storage to the enterprise in the form of legacy boxes.

I'd argue Azure Stack, AWS Outpost, and Google Anthos readily prove you wrong.

> Cloud storage is also recurring revenue where enterprise storage is considered perpetual.

Just... no. Enterprise storage has a shelf life of 3-5 years before maintenance or technology make it obsolete.

>The latter is generally frowned upon from the Street's perspective these days (good, bad or otherwise).

https://www.google.com/finance/quote/NTAP:NASDAQ

5 years ago they were at $20/share, today they're at $69/share. Reality doesn't appear to match your claim as to the street's opinion of enterprise storage.
We owe a lot of our modern lifestyle to lots of repugnant things that happened in the past that enabled progress for sure.
Yeah, I don’t think Scala itself caused the problem. There was this mindset: “if we just properly model the universe in the type system, the solution will just fall out!”

Because that was the obsession, they ended up spending all their time iterating on this perfect type system and not enough on the product. I think people with that issue are more likely to want to use Scala.
We already know. They're a private platform and they can remove / censor / de-platform whoever they want and you're only 'licensed' to use their software unless you violate their ToS.

Here goes the cycle.

1. De-platformed from Twitter or Facebook, Don't like it? build your own social network.

2. De-platformed off of AWS, GCP, Azure, Don't like it? build your own servers (i.e self-hosting)

3. De-platformed off of the internet payments level. Don't like it? Use cryptocurrencies.

4. De-platformed off of the IP level. Don't like it? Register and assign your own ASNs.

But don't worry, de-platforming won't happen to us, I'm sure that big tech always listens to their users! /s
I’ll agree with that. I think it’s more that the criticisms of the loudest voices has shifted. Once it was “why use an obscure language” then “ugh whitespace” then “dynamic typing is bad” and now more “it’s jumped the shark.”
Uh, mine doesn't have s remote, It's visible in living space, loud and doesn't effectively circulate all rooms.

I suspect that you're fairly lucky.
Just so people understand, Google is not happy that sites like Sugar, Inc.'s http://www.shopstyle.com/ are taking a chunk of commerce search away from them.

I'm sure it's all the more frustrating when they're building ad networks on top of their vertical search engines, too: http://shopsense.shopstyle.com/
Syntactic sugar implemented as double dispatch...I don't know what to think about that!
In Paul's essay, he suggested that a software company was any company that needs to have good software. I would say that Apple fits this description.
Info on how to set up your Mac to let iOS devices "print" to a PDF through it: http://i.tuaw.com/2010/11/16/how-to-create-pdfs-with-your-io...

Requires hacking with currently released version of Mac OS X because there's some controversy about when/if AirPrint-through-a-Mac-or-PC will be coming. Some say it's cancelled, but that sounds kinda crazy to me: why even ship the feature on iOS if it's only going to be able to print to a small portion of HP's line of printers?
Indeed. One of the great questions of the modern age.
Don't mistake patience and endurance for skill.
I _have_ read The Human Stain, which is about Coleman Silk, a Classics professor at a small liberal arts college, who is fired after an innocuous remark about two students who fail to come to class for the first couple of weeks. The comment is something like, "Are these guys spooks? Or what?" But the students turn out to be black, and so does Silk (which we discover later in the narrative; the administration does not know he is black by most definitions. Silk is ~72 and having an affair with an apparently illiterate 34-year-old maintenance woman named Faunia Farley.

The novel uses the incident to explore the nature of race in the United States and reactions to it; academic power; and the relation of the self to one's past, as Silk tries to erase or ignore his, while the tension with his father leads to recriminations but also success. Like many of Roth's novels, the writing is fantastic and the voice strong.

In other words, I have no idea what the grandparent is talking about either.

Or, perhaps a way to take the authentication hash + mid hash's from above to perform another function on someone elses account. (like changing the email, or changing privacy settings)

I think that you meant: 'code/decode.' 'codec' is a abbreviation for 'code/decode.'
Yeah that's the tough part. Since these people are the least likely to pay (why pay $10/mo to monitor a site that makes $20/mo), you may want to have a free option, subsidized by the affiliate revenue.

Then you can try to upsell them to your paid plan.

Organizations need to be refactored just as much as code does, and for similar reasons.
I read that too, when the epidemiologists were saying it could become endemic, but if it does, it's unlikely to be the current virulence, which is what counts when discussing deaths etc.

The evolution of viruses like this is they tend to mutate into milder strains as they become endemic. At that point the milder version may still cause excess deaths (like flu does, and unfortunately it would be in addition to flu deaths), but not at the same virulence.

But an endemic virus does not necessarily mean every human will be exposed to it. There are diseases which are almost but not quite eradicated by widespread vaccination, and keep going in clusters, surviving in pockets here and there.
> there are some vocal blind people who don't want websites to be able to know that they're running a screen reader at all, for fear of discrimination

This makes sense, it's probably not a good idea to give that information to the website. It would only make people using screen readers more vulnerable to scams.

Similar to how "scam callers" work. If a "scam caller" rings someone and an older person answers the phone. The fact that they can hear an older person, means that they have found an easy target, and can use specific tactics to take advantage of them (techno jargon, etc..). If they don't have that information, then it's much harder for them to use specialised tactics to manipulate people.

I am a multifaceted software engineer with a master's degree in computer science, research published by IEEE, and 11+ years of experience in tech. I am the author of the first linear time algorithm for rolling binary trees and some original data structures and integer sequences. I have extensive experience with the Java and JavaScript ecosystems and enjoy building customer-facing applications, as well as designing and implementing custom solutions for unique problems and use-cases.
I believe that the blame is hard to pin here. Instinctively I have blamed media for not reporting the truth, which led people to believing in so many mutually exclussive news. However, because the news media have to compete with social media they are bound to put out cheaper and more clickbaity content or go extinct.
Not switching, because switching won't change anything except for me not being able to message anyone anymore. WhatsApp has become the national messaging platform in my country. Giving it up would be like giving up SMS 20 years ago.
Certain permissions (internet is one example) are granted when the app is installed, other permissions (e.g. access to photos) require the user to give access through a dialog prompt (and from Android 10(?) the user will be asked again every so often, rather than just once).

All permissions an app can use are listed in the manifest file, and are displayed on Google Play.
That was the original business model of whatsapp
The demographics for these kind of products is very different. It's either those who do have enough money not to care about the cost or the so called aspiring ones: who don't have money but want to fit in or relate to the better off groups. It reminds me when the latest Iphone came out( the most expensive version). Guess who bought it? Our CEO and a member of my team,who was probably on the lowest salary in the company. Peloten is no different to this.
I'm happy with the CalDigit TS3+. I just got one and it's able to drive two external 4K 60Hz displays (one usb-c, one displayport) from both my Intel MBP or from my Dell XPS 17, hot swappable. In the latter case, that's over three 4K displays including the laptop. (I didn't realize the XPS actually had >4K resolution until opening the display settings tool).

I just started with this configuration two days ago, so we'll see. It's not completely glitch-free yet: I noticed the mouse (also plugged into the TS3+) glitched a bit yesterday, and once one of the monitors couldn't be detected from the XPS once and required reboot. XPS also shows a low-power charger warning in tray when plugged into it, which I wish I could disable but oh well. Still, it's worked way better than I'd expected so far with no hassle. Completely replaces my desktop setup and hot-swaps are generally seamless.

I haven't noticed any major CPU or power spikes. Fan isn't doing anything weird. But I'll look out for it.
Yep, that was the original fear after a couple of landmark cases against CompuServe (no filters, so they were ruled not liable for what people said), and Prodigy (they had a team of editors filtering content, so it was ruled they were liable for what ended up on their platform).
95% effectiveness does not mean 5% of people had symptomatic infections. It means there were 20 times more infections in the placebo group compared to control.

If you gave the vaccine to 1000 people and placebo to 1000 people, and 100 of the placebo and 5 of the treatment group got sick, that's 95% effective, as is if all 1000 in the control group got COVID and only 50 in the treatment group.
I have started pushing my friends towards Signal. Let's hope the Indian govt. does not create legal hindrances to Signal, as it is wont to do. Authoritarian tendencies are pretty damn strong out here.
Through [1] I found this article [2], and it seems even if you pay people for content (Blumenthal v.

(I'm not a lawyer, I find this kind of confusing sometimes.)

> Pressure those platforms to ban legal speech

Wait, direct threats of violence and child porn are legal speech now?

Because that's what you'll find on Parler.

Edit: for the sake of accuracy, Parler is unquestionably rife with threats of violence that they refuse to remove. Go visit /R/parlerwatch and despair.

They do, however, remove CP from the site if it's reported by users, but as of 2020-12-02 they admit they lack any automated systems for detecting and removing it at scale.
the idea I think is that certain platforms would emerge that have to allow all content or get into legal trouble. Even if those are just base layers such as an ISP

Not the same thing, but this level of discourse is laughable.
Are you saying that Qanon might be worth hearing out and given a fair shake on the national state?
It is too simplistic, heck, even for CPUs the executions are often in parallel, out of order, whatnot, depending on the type of task that needs to be performed. The same is the case with the human brain.

I’d say that they probably took the simplest task possible and see how fast the human brain could do that and ended up with 30Hz. Seems like a very silly thing to me.
Those kind of drones are not the kind of drone that can deliver a package, unless that package can survive a ballistic delivery to the ground.

Sure, by shaping the drone into a winged vehicle you can get the payload capacity up and make it move quickly as it goes from waypoint to waypoint on a "delivery route", even in windy conditions. But now you can't deliver the package itself neatly onto the ground adjacent to obstacles like you could with a quadra-copter.

If someone can figure out a reusable payload delivery parachute or something like that with the ability to keep itself on course even in windy conditions to hit a drop point on the ground from a couple hundred feet up, and make it work with packaged goods the size of a small book or video game, then it has a chance.
If you're doing extensive mocking, then you should be doing integration tests instead.
Hum, interesting, but SDMs still need to know how to code, it's even part of the interview process, do you know if this is true 100% of the time?
I would agree that on the surface the problem does seem to be solved by an actor framework.

The issue and main point is that I want that cross language, cross platform with isolation, tracing and debugging hooks.
Not to butt in, but if someone says something untrue, they are a liar. If I accused Amazon of killing babies, that would be a lie (I hope?), and you wouldn't be being defensive by calling me out for it.
Maybe it just shifts to the secure password you generate and suggest to them?
I know this isn't the right place for it but here we go: it's a total PITA when somehow the VM connection gets severed and "vagrant ssh" won't work and "vagrant shutdown" won't shutdown cleanly, so you have to kill it by hand and then reboot MANUALLY in virtualbox because the VM gets stuck in the grub menu after a non-clean kill. So then you have to wait for it to boot completely, then shut down normally and then run vagrant up again.

That connection dies for me periodically, like a few times a week. Anyone manage to solve that one?
The mined coins, sure, but you can include the transactions that were omitted in the revealed fork in the blocks after that. That's why the document states An attacker that controls more than 50% of the network's computing power can, _for the time that he is in control_
