This is nice. I really love this.

I think you're really onto something, but I would offer a slight modification. The value of watching something live is knowing it's an experience you are sharing with other people. Have a single live channel, where the purpose of the channel is that it's the live one that people across the country can be watching at the same time.

You could do multiple channels, but I think if you really, really want to capture the "I'm watching this with the rest of the country" feeling, a single live channel would be the safest bet.

It also may have value strategically, because there are some shows that "work" more as a live show, and there are some TV series that have better cultural impact if they are released in a serialized way. For instance I suspect Game Of Thrones has been more successful at permeating culture by releasing one episode a week than it would have been had the whole season been dumped at once.

I run an 8 disk hardware RAID6 at home for entertainment. It's not far from some fairly serious home theater equipment. Right now I'm thinking back on the timing of various faults and I'm pretty sure I've DOSed myself, lol.
It would be interesting to see a candid interview with what the real reason for not liking then is. I suspect it’s rooted in the Muslim conquests which are still mentioned in Buddhist texts. Needless to say the Muslim religion is not held in much regard due to that, as opposed to Hinduism which is considered worthy of debating.
The biggest one I’m always reminded of is “Do you have a phone?”... The always-on, cloud-connected device that you carry everywhere at all times?
>If the platform were to offer a random choice, the fact that the resulting view was not organic would need to be tracked separately

They didn't grow up with games at all. They would have been in their late teens and twenties just as the first games came out. Keep in mind gaming as a genre is still really young

You have an interesting sister in law. In all the blacklisted stories, there is something shady going on with the sender.
It's more the style. Often the technical jargon is arcane and there's usually not a clear distinction between when the author is using a very exacting mathematical term or just a generalized english term unless you are knees deep and spend a large number of your waking hours in a very specific field.

Then there's the naming ... P(X) and we're in probability and X is a random variable but if we are using just "p" then we're in physics and talking about momentum. If it's "P" then it's power, unless it's P(x) and then we're talking about geometry. And then you can italicize it, bold it, put a hat or a dot on it or under it, make the braces square, straight, or curly, and you get something else entirely; I mean completely different fields. Sometimes the same thing is used in multiple fields and then you need substitution syntax when using the two together. Great system!

So if you have a job where you are juggling 6 or so disciplines and you see a jumble of stylized letters in an equation along with a description, it's a fairly absurd system especially when the author assumes that all the readers know what they mean when they say i+p(j)/k or that when they use common everyday words which, in that particular branch of mathematics are actually very specific technical terms.

I often read things and think "what on earth is this person saying?" and then have to go back and decrypt this terribly designed mathematical language everyone uses that we are all supposed to say is a glorious and perfect interface. It's not, it's god awful and horrendous. The vast majority of humanity run screaming from it and can't interface with it to work through even simple concepts that they probably already know.

It's the modern version of ancient latin and it's become equally heretical to insist that we must create a better, more humane, more consistent, more discoverable, more flexible interface to describe the world that isn't just vestigial symbols from far-flung authors spanning 3000 years thrown together in a huge dumpster fire.
To avoid such things, I have a notebook in my drawer in which I have all the passwords to all my online accounts written down. If I change a password, I update the entry. If I create any sort of online account, it gets added to the diary. I figured if someone bothered enough to physically steal my diary from my drawer, I'd have bigger problems to worry about than my YouTube credentials.
The Fire is not using an original rendering engine.
If that were all that could do it, sure. That's not the end of it, though. I was trying out anonymization methods a while back, and created an account for use through Tor + a VPN (yes, I know it's Google). I recently tried to get back into it, but since I wasn't "where I usually sign in" (and can't actually say what city they thought that was), I'm locked out. I have the correct password in my manager, and I can even answer that "when did you create this account" question because of that, but Google still won't give me any way in. Since there's nothing important in there, I'm fine leaving that particular address behind rather than escalating things, especially after reading the article, but there's a few really dangerous implications there if you do want to habitually decouple your IP from your physical location.
Yes, and it doesn't have to be an alloy.

Structure is the basis for 'invisibility cloaks', materials with small-scale structures which confer optical properties not found in the same unstructured bulk materials. [1]

Another example of where structure confers strange properties on elements (not alloys) is light emission from indirect-gap materials like silicon. Make silicon particles small enough and you can get light emission that you can't from bulk silicon. See quantum dots [2] and other similar structures.

Structure can really change things.

Nothing special. The same happened with email addresses from ISP and they get closed if you ever change provider.
I'm in favor of a (more) progressive tax system, but I'm not sure that means we should tax corporations heavily or at all. The thing about a corporation is that its costs are borne by some combination of customers, employees, and shareholders, some of whom are rich and some of whom aren't. If we want to soak the rich, we should do that, rather than go after entities that are imperfectly correlated. Of course, it is then important to not let rich people shield their income with corporations.
Negative sum means all players on average are worse off.

Think of it as a poker game where each player hands 10$ to the dealer to sit at the table. Now, if the players are exchanging chips individual players may end up ahead, but on average at the end of the night everyone is down 10$.

Transaction fees are very much playing a deal to sit at the table. Miners do spend money to get tokens, but nobody in the game receives that money it's just gone and miners need someone else's money to get paid.

You missed a factor of 1,000. 100 bytes * 1B = 100GB/day. You Still got the 36TB/year part right though.

Another thing to keep in mind is 100GB/day / (86400s/day) = 9.2MB/sec ~= 90Mbit/sec Internet connection. That's not a small potatoes connection...

It's not an unknown alloy.

I dug around a bit and it's a 3d layer printed nano-composite of very high purity bismuth and magnesium doped with some other trace elements and a crystal structure that they think indicates it was grown in a zero-G environment. Apparently even the wiring is baked in. I mean if we didn't know how processors were made, they would look like magic under the microscope as well. But I guess they genuinely don't understand how the layering was achieved.

What they say they don't know is how to manufacture it.

> Chicago has some all-night rail service, but it's mostly just buses, for instance.

Anyone that can tends to avoid (e.g. prefers to live off the red/blue line) the lines that do not operate 24x7. Not providing universal service means you lose peak time ridership as well, as witnessed by ridership numbers on those lines.
It seems to me whether that is good depends on what you conceive of as counterfactuals. If you truly believe that the investments would have made you a zillion dollars in a worst case scenario for the economy, then the fact that they've made almost nothing when the market has gone up & up & up doesn't seem that bad.
If they're not enforcing it or planning to, why even do it? Ballerinacat69 will just say their name is ballerinacat69 and then what has anyone gained?

In the end they're going to get users reporting people or even harassing people for having "obvious" fake names (and many of those reports will be against trans people using the name they actually use).

So either they're going to have to do something about fake names or they've just established a cultural norm for their site that will be toxic for many of their users.

Or you could just assume people are being hysterical as your first default assumption I suppose.
There might be easier ways depending on where you live. For the new year (and new job), I'm trying to find an apartment ~1mi away from work along a pedestrian friendly route. I plan to walk to/from work on every good weather day. If I get an hour for lunch, I could even go home for a quick lunch.

I used to do this when I worked in Manhattan and the 1.5hrs of walking were great. I'll admit this may not be enough exercise for your needs, but it is a good forced way to get very regular exercise, and perhaps part of a good overall plan that incldues a gym as well.

> Harvey is just a name... A name of an old, white, male US citizen.

I'm not sure why, but it seems like the name Harvey was also very popular among Jewish Americans 50+ years ago and beyond. Almost every famous American Harvey I can think of has a typically Ashkenazi last name. Often that happens for names that are Hebrew or German in origin, but looking it up it seems the name Harvey is English, via the Bretons.

No. I don't have a phone. I don't need one. No one in the world at any time for any reason may simply interrupt my current cadence. If it is good news, I can wait, if it is bad news, I can wait. If it is part of a job, I want 20k, (so I don't get issued one).

Because skills gained from reading fiction transfer relatively easily into more productive pursuits: studying, programming, writing. Not to mention that reading isn't "consuming stories passively". You need to develop an imagination and draw pictures in your head.

It's hard(er) to develop useful skills from TV watching; the only thing I can think of is maybe learning about filmmaking, and that's only if you're watching to learn rather than watching passively.

I read mostly fiction as a kid and owe most of my career to my reading and writing skills.
There's a better way using an obscure Coin algorithm.
Most of the coins people are purchasing today have been around less than a year and probably have less than 1% of the users of Bitcoin. They're pretty unproven.
If a device can't do what users want, they won't buy it, no matter whom you consider to be at fault.
I disagree, somewhat.

Shares are an "I owe you dividends, if and when" and they also represent voting control that a buyer could use to extract value from the company. Those both mean the holder of the paper is owed something even if it's much more vague than a bond.

I guess there are stocks these days that have neither dividends nor votes, though. That seems like a scam though.
In my experience, that is 100% true. I made an app and uploaded to the Play Store, but it was rejected for whatever reason, and I was told I'd hear back from them within 72 hours. 8 days later after not hearing anything from them despite multiple attempts, they got back to me only _after_ a friend of a friend connected me with someone who works at Google. The iOS store was a piece of cake compared to anything Google related.

I play this game semi-often and as the popularity has risen, the performance of the game has gone down hill.

Interestingly enough almost all the issues occur when starting the game - after the first question the game runs (somewhat) smoothly, even though there may be 400k+ viewers.

I wonder what technical hurdles their hitting that causes the app to lag at the start (an issue the commonly delays the game by 30-60 minutes).

>Buddhism is about peace, fundamentally and (in nearly all cases) in practice.

There's a slight subtlety to this. Buddhist ethics are very different to Judeo-Christian ethics. The Buddhist equivalent to "thou shalt not kill" is the first of the five precepts, "panatipata veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami", which loosely translates to "I undertake the rule of training to refrain from killing living beings". This is not so much an absolute proscription as a broad axiomatic principle.

In western terms, Buddhist ethics are most closely aligned with negative utilitarianism - broadly speaking, Buddhists seek to minimise net suffering. One study found that, when presented with the trolley car problem, Buddist monks were drastically more likely to push the man off the footbridge than Americans.

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/06/how-d...

The main religious support for the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya comes from monks affiliated with Ma Ba Tha, a hardline nationalist group. From their perspective, the Rohingya represent an existential threat to the Rakhine people and the republic of Myanmar. If this assessment were true, then the expulsion of Rohingya people could be interpreted as the least-harm option, even if it involves substantial violence. Although the vast majority of Buddhists condemn the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya, it is not intrinsically incompatible with Buddhist ethics.

This conflict is not new. Rohingya Islamist groups have been fighting the government of Myanmar/Burma since 1947, with the aim of establishing an Islamic regime in Rakhine state. The current crisis was most likely precipitated by an attack on border guards in 2016, which Islamist militant groups claimed responsibility for. There is clear evidence that Rohingya guerrilla groups are being trained in Bangladesh; there is also substantial evidence of ties between Al-Qaeda and militant Islamists in Myanmar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_insurgency_in_Western...

I strongly disapprove of the oppression of the Rohingya people and the silence from the civilian government, but I do think that the western media has presented a grossly over-simplified narrative that frames the actions of the Myanmar people as senseless and unprovoked. I would ask the reader to consider how their country would react if Islamist guerrillas were active in their own back yard, sponsored by a neighbouring Muslim nation.
Lack of a good news filter.
You are a victim. ‘Victimless’ is of course a relative descriptor. A ‘victimless crime’ is generally a crime without violations of civil liability. Drug use is still widely considered non-victimless, on the grounds that drug use generates wide untamely chaos and cruelty. And so we banned it. When I say drug use is a victimless crime, I mean to reasses that view. To me, it’s an unfocused assessment of the issue and a reactionary solution to boot.

Losing friends to drug overdoses is terrible and not to be devalued. I’ve lost 2 close friends to drug overdoses: one heroine and another prescription painkillers, both while I was off at college. I really understand.

If we map an event chain to the tragedy, things get existential fast. We have to ask why they used the drugs. Maybe it was peer pressure, maybe depression, self-esteem. My cousin is addicted to painkillers prescribed to him for a back injury from his best friend hitting him with a jet ski. My point is just that things are usually very complicated. Naturally, we want someone to blame, but let’s be cautious, lest we create new problems.

Concluding we are victims of the substance makes sense in numerous ways, but doesn’t hold up to scrutiny and has failed outright as a solution to the problem (see war on drugs) and I think we can do better.

If we intend to prevent it from happening again to you and others, we want to look at the causes with an open mind.

I agree with everything you stated, when dubs are good it vastly helps with the experience and I remember movies better if they have dubs.
That being said though when movies are dubbed badly it seriously detracts from my experience and I used to switch subs if it is early in the movie and they sucked. I eventually gave up of this practice and just watched with subs because there where so many bad dubs.
