"Real" vs "apparent" simply follows from what we can infer from the picture, i.e. the galaxies appear to be several because of the light-warping effect of gravity, in reality they are not.

> While debate around the use of ICOs continues, Initial Loan Procurements (ILPs) have emerged as a new fundraising method. Similar to an ICO but in the form of loans rather than coin acquisitions, ILPs enable borrowers and creditors to enter into a loan agreement through legally binding smart contracts. With an ILP, a creditor's investment is contractually tied to the performance of the company and eliminates the wild swings of volatility that have been associated with a vast number of ICOs. In simple terms, as long as the company makes a profit, the creditor gets annual returns.

> Two Estonia-based companies, Blockhive and Agrello, have formed a partnership to provide the first ILP of its kind, 'Blockhive'. Blockhive's model removes the issuance of tokens (in the anticipation of future appreciation of those tokens) and replaces it with a contractual entitlement to 20% of their annual operating profits.

That sounds more like equity to me than a loan.

Whatever the structure, it isn't new. Putting it in a fancy blockchain is new, but the agreement to pursue some endeavour and share in the revenues, either as an obligation or as a percentage of profits, is ages old.

And just as old is the fact that you have to actually do what you said with the money, or else it's fraud.
Hilariously, I get told a lot that customers have trouble using the online system. Maybe I'm just a young, hip tech geek, but the online system is easy as hell. I love it. Old people suck at computers more often than not, so they are always dependent on a human touch, no matter how frail it is.

TEMPEST shielding ranges from not at all cheap, to breathtakingly expensive, and what you’re describing is just one part of high level shielding. It’s not just the facilities that cost, but the fact that your electricians and janitors need clearance as much as your devs and analysts. Even if data centers wanted to go that route, it would have to pass the costs on to the customer, who would need to be s very particular kind of customer with deep pockets.

>for an English speaker, there probably won't be any need to explicitly learn the grammar, since it works mostly like English //

For a period in the UK there was no English grammar taught in schools. This caused me great problems in Russian class (second high school language) as I had no idea there were cases in English and so had no reference for why a case was needed and what it did. The entirety of my English grammar training was learning a poem by rote for homework, which I didn't do ("A nouns the name of anything [...]"). I learnt the little grammar I know from French lessons. So, YMMV depending on the English speaker.

What is your basis for saying that no such animals exist? Exactly how many states there are depends a great deal on the level of analysis. How many states does a 6502 have? At the physical level, an enormously large (possibly even infinite) number. At the level of analysis appropriate for programming one, considerably fewer.

Thermite is dangerous, essentially impossible to extinguish until it burns out, and would burn through any realistic oven. It also emits a dangerous amount of UV so you need welding goggles and distance from the burn. If you really wanted to burn a body (illegal in most cases) it’s a matter of good airflow and the right accelerant. And disarticulstion of the limbs and head, which for me at least, would be a difficult thing emotionally. Once you’ve hacked your loved one into roughly even pieces, dig some ditches lined with steel drums, get some charcoal and wood, wrap the pieces of your loved one in natural fibers soaked with jet fuel, and light it up. Make sure that you layer their “chunks” on a scaffold or logs, and try to make sure that there is a clear “intake” and exhaust at opposite ends for airflow. If needed take the remaining remains and subject them to a second pass with jet fuel.

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be able to do that to a total stranger, never mind someone I cared about.
They shut down a huge number of firearm/alchohol/tobacco related subreddits in the last month, many of which were very mature and welcoming communities, without any warning they they were going to do this to the moderators.

Places like r/beerswap and r/pipetobaccomarket, which allowed users to swap product unavailable in their local areas.

Now the moderators of big subreddits like r/pipetobacco are organizing alternative websites for their users to go to, before the inevitably get banned without warning for not aligning with Reddit's new image.

I have to wonder if HN has a higher population of “food snobs.”
Is this a good summary:

Results of current dark matter (effect) detection experiments have yielded different than expected results.

These results don't seem to fit any current single theory about dark matter* (it would be nice if there was a nice short enumeration of theories and WHY they didn't fit with the combined set of observations).

Therefore we should spend more money, building more and different detectors in different areas run by different groups, and collectively gather more and varied data so that 'we' can attain a more clear understanding.

--

However, aside from some of the changes in 'sensitivity' for existing detectors yielding *"new data" (unexpected results) (this seems like low-hanging, confirmation of theory, modification of existing experiments). Lacking from the article is a proposal of what, in theory, the new detectors might detect and /why/ they might be detecting that, or how different outcomes from the proposed experiment might provide support for or against current theories.
The link clearly shows that significant rise in CO2 did not occur until after 1900 so it could not have caused weakening ocean currents that began, at the latest estimate in 1850. I do not understand where anyone got the idea that a constantly changing climate is abnormal.
> but it is a genuine source for a company to generate revenue.

That's a common cultural belief that I do not subscribe to, seems to come with our currently trendy variants of capitalism/liberalism. I personally belief it is more akin to a crime that is currently not punished.

> probably could not exist as they do.

More industries have been outlawed in history.

> I believe without advertising that the internet would not have been what it is today,

I can take that as fact. But I do not think that "without ads" (on the internet or not) is "economically worse". I think without ads we would produce better quality; it's complete guessing, but that's just my expectation.
You should read a little more history.

The US has a long track record of violence, threat of violence, and social power being used to suppress women and black people, for example. The #MeToo campaign happened recently not because women weren't being sexually exploited in the past, but because their power has finally grown enough that some of them can start to speak with less fear of consequence.

Studies show that this power imbalance continues online. Accounts with female and/or black get a lot more crap. Crap that acts to suppress not just the people receiving it, but anybody who sees it happen and thinks they might become a target of it.

So if you're running a platform, you have a pretty clear choice. Somebody's getting silenced. The question is whether you let the people who want to silence others run rampant, or whether you protect the voices they're trying to suppress.

And I'd add that the left talks about racial and social issues quite a bit, so I think your characterization there is at best misleading.
Truthfully I don’t have many thoughts on that combination.

The channels abstraction was the driving force behind our choice and at the time there wasn’t anything that stood out in the Java world.

You're leaving out the possibility that the charities, like most other marketers, didn't bother to get affirmative consent originally. If they had been following the spirit of the law instead of just what they could get away with, then they would have gotten affirmative consent previously. They are not immune from committing bad marketing behavior just because they are charities.
I think it would be hard to evolve to protect against something that only happens every half million years. We're probably going to need to observe the behavioral changes the next time it happens to have any clue.
On the bright side, I think product placement manipulates people in less problematic ways than companies like Cambridge Analytica have been able to do with precision-targeted advertisements. At least product placement needs to involve actual products, and if you try to go beyond that it'll be pretty obvious. Although I guess there's a cross-section here: one of the really sinister details of Facebook's advertising is it gets presented in the same context as pictures of your friend's puppy, so our filters don't engage like they would looking at something that resembles an ad container.

I'm not surprised at all to hear that I have blind spots outside of "dev". I've been working on shipping games for a decade, so I'm very fixated on the types of stuff I run into day-to-day in that dev process.
I worked in the restaurant POS space until very recently.

We (and our competitors) are partnering up with Grubhub, Eat24, etc. to solve the hassle of multiple tablets at the counter. Orders can just flow seamlessly from Grubhub's web site / app to our software (which the restaurant already uses), and the restaurant staff just has to confirm the order.

Unfortunately the margins all pretty thin, and ultimately you try to make money off payment processing.

Does this shift into a new type of asset class side-step SEC and other regulatory scrutiny? Is this a move for ICOs to dodge the current crackdown?
>That is a weird stance to take if their only goal is to sell more cars.

That is only to weasel out of the legal issues. They are doing marketing stuff that pushes the feature as vastly more capable on the side..For ex Elon Musk tweeting videos that shows cars traveling by itself on unmarked roads..And having declarations such as "The human behind the wheel is only for legal reasons, the car is driving all be itself" and such..

So the actual marketing is based on this unrealistic projection, and only these "statements", which the public will soon forget, is based on its true capability..
But if it's an entitlement to a % of profits, then it is much more like equity.

This is really great advice. You're right - it's really easy to make assumptions about the code and it's definitely caught me at least once!

So far I've been trying to keep my changes in service of a specific feature, and keep as light-touch on existing code as possible whole still making improvements. Wrapper classes have helped with this a lot.

Good catch.

If the projection matrix is extremely non uniform (e.g. orthographic with very large Z size and very small XY size, or perspective one with FOV angle very close to zero), the described problem can still be encountered.

But I did mentioned “a few edge cases”, this is one of them.
I think that ICOs are about the initial creation of a virtual commodity that can easily be made fit for use as currency; and ILPs indeed more like digital IPOs where the shares are traded on-chain instead of on-SE.

Since the trading of the ILP stock happens on-chain, a chain traded virtual "crypto" currency comes in very handy.

> That sounds more like equity to me than a loan.

I agree wholly.
I agree, and looking at their site, they don't seem to have taken steps to avoid this problem.

I wonder if we could have a standard api, like window.requestAPI('ipfs' or 'eth' or whatever) returns a Promise, and the user gets a 'page is requesting' bar like we do with location requests.

That way, you wouldn't be leaking information about your browser capabilities to pages that you don't wish to use those capabilities on.

There are multiple ways to embed a webview in an app. The SFSafariViewController is an out of process webview that you can embed in your app. It can share cookies with Safari and it will use whatever content blocker you have installed. The hosting app doesn't have any access to the cookies or any information you type in. Feedly uses this web view.

Firefox doesn't use SFSafariViewController. It uses the WKWebView (?). The WKWebView gives the hosting app a lot more control over the webview and whatever you do in the webview is accessible to the hosting app. Cookies, bookmarks, etc. are not available to the hosting app.

They are actually on separate power networks (red and black) at least the ones I’m familiar with.

There is also a minimum distance between the computers that must be adhered, in fact there is a minimum distance and shielding requirements for the in wall cabling between different networks including power.

How about this: we live in a rare oasis in the Universe where the things are more or less 'stable', and due to this, we can form more or less consistent concepts (not 100% consistent, but enough for most practical purposes). Beyond this oasis - who knows, maybe the notions of space and time themselves become fuzzy (not unlike ice, by the way - though you objected to comparison). And this view is not that far-fetched - look no further than quantum mechanics, which is an example of what happens when we cross the boundaries of the 'oasis'. We still can write formulas, but we don't understand the meaning. I personally believe that just everything we "know" - applies only in the vicinity of our habitat. Won't be surprised if all our observations about the Universe turn out to be illusions resulting from infinite warping of just everything :)
No, that court got it right. That woman was seriously injured by McDonald's negligence above and beyond a simple coffee burn. If you spill coffee on you today, it's just hot and painful. That's because the woman in the McDonald's case spilled the coffee on herself and suffered third-degree (i.e., permanently scarring and disfiguring) burns. As a result of the settlement, McDonalds lowered the temperature of the coffee so that it would no longer maim people.
