Gold has a large cross section, which basically means it presents a big target (amusingly such measurents are made in units of 'barns'). It's also stable, so you don't have to worry about natural decay events polluting your data.
I am a starving programmer.

I don't know where you live, but I live in Mountain View, Calif.

Here's how I do it.

Expenses:
I spent half a year living in my car. I now live on a couch in a garage. I pay $600/month.
I have a high-deductible health plan. It's $70/month.
I have a cheap car with minimal insurance. I'd estimate gas/insurance/maintenance comes out to $200/month

Living:
Free food is everywhere. I go to a lot of meetups, food is often donated by corporate sponsors.
Free internet is everywhere. I work out of the Mountain View public library during the day.

Income:
I'm living off savings right now. When it comes down to the wire, I'll do a quick contracting job off elance.

I watch my expenses very, very closely. As long as you are young and in good health, this is sustainable for quite some time.
A single instance of being censored, soft or otherwise, sends more people running from a discussion than a slew of 'toxic' comments. If discussion cannot take place without fear of ai misinterpreting me, It will impeade more than it helps. To me, this whole concept and apporoach by google is toxic. Their guile of couching it as diversifying communication is particularly gag inducing.
I couldn't care less about this rich person's beach nor the people who want to surf on it, but I do care about the property rights issue at play here and how it intermingles with popular perception and treatment of "rich people" (a relative term that, for most people reading this, almost certainly is applied pejoratively to them by those who have less than they do). I don't like the idea that someone feeling entitled to something I own factors into the question of control over that thing -- I worked and paid for it, I should get to do what I want with it. It seems to me that this simple principle is thrown out when the owner is deemed "rich", which is frightening to me.

> To what benefit to ones self can you possibly point?
I worry that tolerating the entitlement of the many over the rights of the few will result in a degrading of those rights. It's this dude's beach today, what about a website that I suddenly charge for tomorrow? Or hey, lets be realistic here, what about my future beach when that aforementioned website makes me my billions :)
Also from Opera and Google Chrome Mobile I can't download the pdf version... I just get a corrupted file.bin from the Dropbox :/
In terms of morality the government directly controls one third of the economy I want to live in a world where they legislate wisely and enforce laws effectively in a clear and transparent way. In terms of reality I can only observe and describe.
Sure, but when you dip your card, the magstripe on that chip card gets skimmed and the camera captures your card number and PIN entry.
The answer to that should be related to the above. If it's something created by the artificial mind comparable to human, then that mind should own it, regardless of who created the mind itself. If it's not on that level, then no one should own it, like it's now the case with animals.

Creators of the artificial author shouldn't get any copyrights on those works in either case.
It is easy to change the scroll speed in tmux, although the default is 5 lines at a time which seems like it should be fast enough...

Mouse and scrollback and clipboard are some of the more complicated areas of terminal emulators and ones where applications like tmux have the least power so they will always have the potential to be a bit fiddly.
I was mostly sedentary until about 1.5 years ago.

I have tried almost every form of exercise, but the only thing that has truly hooked me so far is circuit/interval training (for both cardio and resistance). I have done almost 400 sessions so far, almost without fail at 5 days per week (which is the real testament to how addicting it is).

Actually I find the cardio classes to be more interesting and challenging than the resistance / weight lifting classes. Although the focus is cardio, they do not neglect training your muscles, they just tend to rely more on body weight than barbells (burpees, jump squats, sprawls, etc) with the occasionally machine thrown in (rowers, bikes).

I have not lost much weight (that requires a better diet) or gained a huge amount of muscle but my body feels way more tuned. The classes are pretty intense and burning 1000 calories/hour is common. My heart rate used to max out at 180 and my resting heart rate was 80-90. Now my max heart rate is 160 and my resting gets as low as 50. I used to struggle to do 50 push-ups now I can do 100 without much struggle.

The real benefit though is that I feel healthy and less afraid of things like heart disease.

Calvin and Hobbes always had a peculiar prescience about it.
>- The ideal backup for this is to have a separate key, both authorized.

This in particular is important. Security is only as strong as your weakest link, so any backup methods (e.g. "forgot password" flows) might as well be your primary method, if you actually care to strongly secure things.

Adding another (or more) key gets you same-security redundancy if one fails or is lost. Nothing else will achieve this.

Degrading to "forgot password" may be entirely fine for [person's] use of a security key, but you must be explicit about that decision, or it's mostly security snake-oil.
I'm not a fan of the traditional credit reporting system. It is often a black box that makes it difficult to understand how the actual credit scoring algorithm works. Although one of the important aspects of the current system is that all the inputs are known. We don't know exactly to what degree each input matters, but we know the inputs. A new system needs to keep that aspect or else is going to cause pain for a lot of people who are financially punished without being aware of why. This type of transparency is also important for fairness. As other commenters have mentioned, some traits like race would be a good indicator of credit worthiness due to a variety of systemic socioeconomic issues. However that is generally considered unfair and is illegal to take that into consideration.
If twitter bans any mentioned of a laptop full of any incriminating evidence right before the election...
For providing free support, have you considered a meetup group?

I run a self-compassion meetup group and it’s been a wonderful platform to create an online space for sharing emotional support together, and free for members (I pay the meetup organiser fee).

It feels rewarding and meaningful to offer support out of love, not money. Just humans being caring to each other. :)

People in the tech world used to use the term 'corporate censorship' freely. This was prior to the emergence to Big Tech as our virtual town square and its precise alignment with tech world virtues. Now we get pedantic lectures about the exact meaning of censorship; interweb lawyers refining ever deeper regressions of definition that neatly factor out every fall of the ban hammer.

> they can't speak to the user that blocked them

To be fair, the primary effect of twitter blocking isn't to prevent the user performing the block from seeing the person tweeting, the primary effect is preventing the blocked user from commenting on particular parts of the site-- and preventing third parties from seeing their messages.

Reddit recently switched to this model too: if you block someone they can't comment in threads where you've participated unless they're a moderator.

I understand why-- just blinding yourself to someone harassing you just lets them defame you unchallenged. But a block function that mutes people is vulnerable to abuse.

Why so?
When talking about investments, "profit" is generally a synonym for "net income." Of course, many people may disagree on which specific income measure should really be used to represent the general concept of profit, but there are pretty good arguments for net income being that value. Investopedia [0] has an article that discusses the difference; Motley Fool [1] argues it's the same.

If we want to say that positive cash flow is a better measure here, you can argue that, but that wasn't the claim made in the comment I replied to.

That would be nice and all if the SOC could allow decent internet browsing experience and MM support.
So sorry i don't see how putting out a device with hardware which only slightly better than the original N900.
Yeah you'll have BT 4.0, decent WIFI and LTE but then again you won't be able to browse YouTube on that SOC properly.
I'm sorry but i really don't see the usefulness of a device with a single core 1Ghz CPU and 1GB ram these days and it's a damn shame, the whole idea behind Meamo/Meego is the freedom to do pretty much everything why put hardware in it that will not allow you to do anything?

"Felled by a freak storm' is a pretty ignorant mischaracterization of people deliberately hacking down trees to see the statue.

That said: I agree with the theme of consternation over outmoded content distribution methods, not adapting with changing demand in the market place is a good way to becoming outmoded yourself.
I remember the heyday of "real men don't x" from about forty years ago, and of course the term "quiche eater". It bored me then, too.
There's already Ninth Circuit precedent in favor of it. For example, Sony tried to sue two commercial PlayStation emulator developers and the Ninth rejected the lawsuit on all counts (and one of those cases is even cited in this opinion).

The court has to talk about programmer skills because Android (at least, the versions before they switched to OpenJDK) was not entirely source- or binary-compatible with Java SE programs. In fact, the reason why they couldn't license Java SE was that Sun insisted on Android being locked into compatibility in the first place. So this entirely represents an expansion of existing fair use precedent: now, not only does fair use apply to full reimplementations for the sake of interoperability, but also partial reimplementations made for the sake of programmer convenience.
If trust-fund babies can coast through life without working, and those are taking over everything, when the poor still have to put in 12 hour days to live, even if they have it better than the past--that's not jealousy, that's simply asking why does person X have to work so hard when person Y doesn't under a system that supposedly claims all men are created equal.
I read somewhere that the Galaxy A51 was the biggest selling mid-range phone globally. It's about 30% of the price of a flagship, but there aren't huge compromises on performance and camera quality like there is on the A20, A10 series.
I don't feel bad, those sellers did it to themselves. They gamed the system too hard and that's where they landed.
How would you think about the best way to provide services to members of our society that are less able than others?
I think I mixed it up with expensify. I use a number of bookkeeping software.
Probably not? The crux of the opinion seems to grant fair use because it enabled a "new and transformative use," which is a box that a different line of encyclopedias doesn't seem to check.
First section of your link:

>>> But I want to ask all of you: what replaces it as arbiter of truth?

A strongman.

An idea that I attribute to Imre Lakatos, is that if you strip people of the ability to debate and discern facts, you create a power vacuum that can only be filled by those who can act in the absence of debate and facts, notably thugs and tyrants.

I believe this is the actual motivation behind the "war on truth" and the flood of misinformation.
I wasn't able to view it either. Another like I would like to view, the link to the Pixelache 2010 event in Helinski, was also broken for me: https://www.pixelache.ac/pages/pixelache-helsinki-2010
He explains this at his github repo, it's a statistical parameter to try to adjust for lack of proper control group (this is based on real-world data and not on an experiment):

https://github.com/dviraran/covid_analyses

"However, an underlying assumption here is that the incidence rates of those that were vaccinated early are similar to the general population. Previous analyses have shown that this is not the case as older populations have lower incidence and lower socio-economic groups have higher incidence.4 Therefore, we perform a sensitivity analysis by adjusting incidence rates using different levels of beta values (Figure 1)..."
No, “a bunch of people online” decided that if you have jarring security practices in one avenue, it’s totally unsurprising if it turns out that you have other doors wide open too. Which is a completely reasonable assumption.
LibreOffice also has a tray icon pre-loader you can enable on slower machines.
Nano has been discontinued. All the latest Tata cars have global ncap 4/5 rating. Whats disappointing is that foreign brands like like VW, Ford don't have 4/5 stars ncap rating cars in india.
There are plenty of well-paying tech jobs that don't require you to work nights and weekends. No need to 'find a different industry'.

You kinda sound like you buy in to the overwork and are trying to convince others of your own decision. I would say: the company never really appreciates or rewards it, and becoming a kool-aid salesman is often a path to ruin.

That's the expected IFR granted everyone gets proper healthcare access.

Roughly 10% of those infected require hospitalization, and you can't just put anywhere close to 10%, or even 1%, of the population in the hospital at any given time. Those resources simply don't exist. It also affects IFR of anything else that requires a hospital.

If I get severely sick with COVID-19 (or literally anything else) where I live at the moment, I won't get a normal healthcare access. I'll need to get airlifted elsewhere. We're at 120% ICU occupation rate. Most of the deaths here are happening during transfers to other areas.

It's seriously concerning that we have to repeat this after a year.
You also need backups and cloud redundancy , if something would happen.

You'll need a devops team as soon as you use the cloud ( eg. kubernetes)

Those will cost easily more.
No, they're not. It works by: if either a or b in a[b] is a class/enumeration type, call a.operator[](b).
You're right that the damage to trustworthiness was always there. (I.e. they did the damage when they stopped publishing their source code, and they compounded that damage the longer they declined to publish their code). My point was more that the damage now seems to be directly attributable to the new payments integration.

Prior to seeing this post, I was already concerned that adding a crypto/payments integration would damage the Signal project, and this appears to be an immediate example of the kind of harms/perverse incentives I was concerned about.

(A counterargument to my theory here would perhaps be "Signal was always doing stuff like declining to publish their server code even prior to the payments integration", I'm not familiar enough with the history of the project to know the details there.)
I'm probably going to make a few enemies with this opinion, but I think modern C++ is just an utterly broken mess of a language. They should have just stopped extending it after C++11.

When I look at C++14 and later I can't help but throw my hands up, laugh and think who, except for a small circle of language academics, actually believes that all this new template crap syntax actually helps developers?

Personally I judge code quality by a) Functionality (does it work, is it safe?), b) Readability c) Conciseness d) Performance and e) Extendibility, in this order, and I don't see how these new features in reality help move any of these meaningfully in the right direction.

I know the intentions are good, and the argument is that "it's intended for library developers" but how much of a percentage is that vs. just regular app/backend devs? In reality what's going to happen is that inside every organization a group of developers with good intentions, a lack of experience and too much time will learn it all and then feel the urge to now "put their new knowledge to improve the codebase", which generally just puts everyone else in pain and accomplishes exactly nothing.

Meanwhile it's 2021 and C++ coders are still

- Waiting for Cross-Platform standardized SIMD vector datatypes

- Using nonstandard extensions, libraries or home-baked solutions to run computations in parallel on many cores or on different processors than the CPU

- Debugging cross-platform code using couts, cerrs and printfs

- Forced to use boost for even quite elementary operations on std::strings.

Yes, some of these things are hard to fix and require collaboration among real people and real companies. And yes, it's a lot easier to bury your head in the soft academic sand and come up with some new interesting toy feature. It's like the committee has given up.

Started coding C++ when I was 14 -- 22 years ago.
> What is the most efficient way to learn the minimum viable amount of statistics?

You need to add 3 constraints to the question

1. What is your starting point and current knowledge of mathematics and statistics?

2. Minimum viable for what? What do you need the statistics knowledge for?

3. How much effort can you afford to put into this over what period of time?

Then the answer ranges from "here are a couple of good youtube videos" to "here is how to design your own degree in statistics using freely available material".
Is it weird if I still use vanilla JS most of the time? And some jQuery where absolutely needed?
They multiply!
Well, even normal BD is very resilient, apart from delamination. But that's a gradual problem you can preempt with multiple parity discs for each bundle of data discs, along with periodic checking of the discs (delamination is optically quite obvious).

I've considered the same question myself. The global per capita median income is a little under 3k USD. If you wanted to make global income inequality better you'd probably start by making the west dramatically poorer.

I am sure there is someone who would pay you $60 million to prevent burning the Mona Lisa. I don't value it that highly. David even less so. Sistine Chapel in my mind is worth more than both.

You and I disagree on the ability to measure disasters in terms of money. OK, how about this: let's measure it in terms of Iraq wars.

If you had the choice to put our national/world life through this N times or the Iraq war once, how large is N?
This is excellent. I've been thinking about making demos like this for my application lately.

Some comments:

* The textboxes to create a project should clear the text when I click on them or have nothing in them. Having to clear them myself was frustrating.

* The workflow needs to drop you on the next step. After I created my project I wasn't sure why I wasn't already seeing options to get going.

* It wasn't easy to clear out slides from my project. I ended up just deleting it and starting over on every mistake.

* Sharing didn't seem to require a password when I entered one.

* It wasn't really clear how to create the nice demo you made or just make the demo play automatically. The slide concept is interesting but if it just auto-played that might be better.

* I wasn't really sure what the first option I was presented with meant after I clicked edit.

* The screen could probably stand to be taller.

A very nice start and a good recording product. Well done. Keep it up.
I fully subscribe to your point of view. Now, what's the approximate probable cost of those unpredictable consequences?
Offtopic, but from the article:

"'When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow.' This sentence includes every sound in the English language."

I see immediately it seems to lack the "oo" of food, so I don't think that's quite right. I would be very interested to see what an actual sentence is that does have all the sounds.
