Dunno, use a zip library?

No, SQLite doesn't have the same tools available as filesystems. It is very good, but not quite as good.

Not really. For one, it doesn't provide a filesystem-like interface.

Exactly, because you tend to make multiple round trips. If you can flatten that to just one, you avoid those overheads.
Why not SML/CML where you basically get haskell syntax and types, but get modules, no laziness, and you can mutate things when it's more efficient to do so.
It's also convenient for purchasing illegal stuff instead of having to go trough stuff like western union (if you think BTC fees are huge I have a surprise for you). Surprisingly acquiring bitcoin was the hardest part of acquiring controlled substances (coinbase transaction failed twice with my credit card and had a tedious registration process requiring photo, scan of ID, etc. etc. - ended up buying from localbitcoin using bank transfer but it felt risky and the markup was considerable) - the rest was as simple as using a online shop and it shipping to home address - even got free shipping for a bigger order :)
I wish "Redux" would go away. It's the worst thing about the React ecosystem. I use quotes because it's not even much of a library. It's like 100 lines that no one needs because the abstraction they provide is leaky to the max (e.g. no support for nested denormalied data). And it comes with pages and pages of documentation that says little or even nothing while tricking newcomers into thinking they're learning something about a useful tool.

It's remarkable to me that real clients like Relay haven't caught on as much while Redux wastes so many peoples' time.
> The first observation is that if you try to tally "global debt" vs "global assets", a lot of it appears to be missing.

Part of that comes through debt funding of future liabilities.

For example, if you invest $1M into a number of small businesses, those businesses make and spend money, buy and sell goods, hire people, and pay taxes in a variety of ways. Hopefully, they're a net positive in a variety of ways.

If you invest $1M into a bridge, there's no additional tax revenue, a brief burst of construction jobs, it will need maintenance, improvements, etc long term. You've created a net liability.

Therefore, many "global assets" simply disappear as time goes on while the debt/liabilities grow. This is why more and more cities are pulling in their borders (aka responsibilities) to let unsustainable streets crumble, water infrastructure collapse, and police/fire coverage dwindle. It's awful if you're in one of those de-annexed areas.
It's really not. The vast majority of people under the age of 30 have fully completed high school and have at least some college education under their belt.
AmEx likely did this because gyms have lawyers that will win the chargeback cases. They'll just FAX over a copy of the contract with your signature on it. Thus, AmEx will end up eating the administrative cost of the chargeback. You are not the first, not even the ten thousandth, person to try to get out of a gym contract by using the chargeback process.

5 BEST IDE FOR KOTLIN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
I don't think Dovetail will do anything past act like a third party payware developer under the guise of Steam DLC. At least they took initial steps to fix the horribly unoptimized engine which runs pretty smooth other than still loving to crash in certain situations.
I don't think anything is the unique selling point of laziness. Wikipedia[1] says "The benefits of lazy evaluation include:

* The ability to define control flow (structures) as abstractions instead of primitives.

* The ability to define potentially infinite data structures. This allows for more straightforward implementation of some algorithms.

* Performance increases by avoiding needless calculations, and error conditions in evaluating compound expressions."

In my several-year experience as a professional Haskell developer the first and second points are at least an order of magnitude more important than the third.

Could you crash the market a bit, buy a lot of BTC, and then wait for it to recover again? I wonder if that would be a zero-sum game or if you could gain from such a cycle. E.g. I'm not sure if the price adjustment is instantaneous, or follows with a lag (in which case you could certainly make money).

Also, it might be very hard to move large amounts anonymously onto an exchange, and if you did that (even assuming they couldn't trace the BTC to your nefarious origin, or they are clean), I'm sure you are violating some market manipulation law somewhere.

In my purely anecdotal observations, there hasn't been a great demand for entry-level work, especially so following the last recession. A college degree and no experience won't even earn you the benefit of a rejection letter. People instead find themselves "sustained" on low-paying jobs that don't count as entry level for anything but fast-food and retail management. If you're lucky to come from a family with some money, maybe you get an unpaid internship or two before landing that first entry level position.
While I agree that it easily can be abused, I quickly got the hang of it and found it makes a lot of my code more readable. One could think of it as a "then".

my_column %>%
gsub(" ","",.) %>% # Remove whitespace, then...
gsub("[a-zA-Z]+","",.) %>% # Remove letters, then...
strsplit("-") %>% # Split on dashes, then...
lapply(as.numeric) %>% # Make each vector in the list numeric, then...
lapply(mean) # calculate the mean for each list index

The alternatives here would be gigantic function calls that need to be read from the inside out, or multiple variable assignments.

Tentacles and Inverse Kinematics
This assumes that "bachelor's degree" is itself a constant measurement, which out of the context of this particular conversation virtually nobody would agree with. The number of people with "bachelor's degrees" can be going up even as the objective level of education is going down, and even if "the objective level of education" is very difficult to measure.

(There are some people with a "bachelor's degree" that I would consider anti-educated by their college, having gone to school for four years to learn to close their minds with the right invocations of words, despise knowledge, and condemn free inquiry that threatens to upend their ideas. Counting them as "educated" in the statistics doesn't much impress me.)
I assume that the attacker did one of two things: either they were somehow cloning the SMS messages so they came to both the customer's phone and to them, or they jumped the gun on an SMS redirect they had set up and the first TFA got sent to the customer; they then retried later and got the message on their channel.

The logical fallacy in your answer is in assuming that, just because the customer got an SMS with a TFA code, an attacker did not get the same or subsequent code and use it. We don't know that.

Of course, it's also possible that Uber's TFA is broken ...

This is a fundamental problem of democracy: a voting minority uses the government to extract wealth from other portions of the population.

Instead of uniting us, democracy divides us.

I can possibly agree with that notion of experiment. My point, in the context of the discussion, was that just because we do not have a an idea for an experiment that would test string theory, in some definite way, does not exclude that there is some possible observation within reach.
The baby boom generation, as well as the "Greatest" generation before them, have saddled our future generations with huge liabilities. Sadly, not every younger Gen X'er, Gen Y'er, Millennial, or Gen Z'er realizes the magnitude of the debt left behind -- and more importantly that it reflects future tax increases or government services that won't be able to be provided. The only hope is that the current generations will have accumulated enough personal assets to pass along to their kids and grandkids to offset some of this deficit.

True, but it is very hard to work for yourself these days. There is a reason why small business creation is at an all -time low [1][2].

Big corps (and their lackeys in Congress) would like us to "give our lives to some companies", not our business.

Here is how they do it:

- make it hard for companies to hire consultants/contractors on a corp/corp basis - you need to go through a third-party corp sucking away 30% of the billing rate

- increase regulatory burden keeping startups from going IPO and letting bigger corps just swallow some of the promising ones, thus growing even bigger

- bail out the selected "too big to fail" corps

- raise healthcare premiums - affecting self-employed rising 15% a year for the many years now.

Hidden in Plain Sight: A Powerful Way to Beat the Market
When you make this yourself you have to be careful not to let the sauce break. Add in the egg and oil and beat vigorously then slowly add the vinegar while mixing. You want a nice emulsified mixture. Also make sure you base every 5-10 minutes, thats a lot more frequent then you might do when normally cooking chicken, but you really need to build up the layers of sauce on the outside. Finally I have never gotten a good result off propane, so give it a try on coal if its not turning out right

I have found them to be very similar too. I started learning Haskell in earnest last September, following along with the exceptional "Haskell: First Principles" which I highly recommend. I had been toying with Rust around this time and I found a confluence of ideas between the two languages. Most things I learned in Haskell I was able to carry over to Rust.

The inverse was not quite as true. But I still love Rust. Any time I need something performant, or I just want to play around, it's my first choice.

"The result is that qubit 2 now contains the state of qubit 1 after Hadamard operation."

This is really going to be a barrier to understanding.

When I was a little kid I could not only grasp but very easily remember what OR, AND, NOT, NOR, and XOR gates did. They take two inputs and tell you what input 1 OR input 2 would be, etc. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are likewise easy to remember once you get the concept. These operations add, subtract, multiply, and divide, respectively.

What is Hadamarding? What does it mean to Hadamard something? Do we really have to use language studded with totems to dead people in place of clear conceptual descriptions of things?

Math itself has the same problem once you get beyond concepts that were discovered by people we no longer remember.

It's fine to memorialize great minds, but not at the expense of understanding for future generations.
> The vast majority of people under the age of 30 have fully completed high school and have at least some college education under their belt.

Well, no, the vast majority of people under the age of 30 have not. A majority (not vast, only about 65%) of those 25-29 meet that description, and it's lower as you get younger.

Younger people are substantially more educated than earlier generations were at the same age, but for a number of reasons (older people have had more time for additional education, life expectancy and educational attainment are mutually correlated within an age cohort, etc.) That affect is attenuated when looking at young people vs. older people rather than young people vs. previous generations at the same age.

We do not know that the attacker did not have access to the TFA code. That's an assumption. For all we know, it was the customer's roommate reading the SMS off his phone and sharing it to the pirates.

> "Accidentally" asking the language to do something time-expensive is as impossible in C as forgetting a free() in Haskell.

Unless you use GCC's cleanup extension (which runs an arbitrary function when leaving a scope, similar to Rust's Drop trait). Or evil macros which turn innocent-looking code into something else (a well-known project, in some compilation modes, redefines the "if" keyword to track how many times each branch is taken). Or both at the same time (like hiding GCC's cleanup extension with a macro).
SQLite wouldn't really be ACID-compliant if

I'm not so much concerned about durability. More about SQLite not responding to "SELECT v FROM t WHERE id=123" with value v but instead with something like "Error: v is currently being written by another process. Try again later" or something.

No idea if that is a realistic scenario. I'm kind of surprised I don't have this kind of problem with my filebased solution. What happens if process A reads from a file while process B writes it? No clue.
