I suppose I’m fortunate that displaying oneself as trans in my country and state (US south) does not bring huge social opprobrium.

Interestingly, you’d be surprised who is trans and who is cis as it’s not like people have a sign over their head “I’m trans opprobriate me.”

So, in my city at least, it would be as simple as checking a box identifying as trans and no social stigma would even be possible. Unless the potential employer “outed” the applicant somehow. But that seems not only unethical but illegal (again, at least in my state).

Since I live in a prett backwoods area, I assume there are many other areas that are much better.
I just Googled population of the US and China, that's 326,766,748 (For US) vs 1,415,045,928 (For China).

So,

> China produces twice the amount of CO2 as the U.S. does

1,415,045,928 / 2 = 707,522,964

And

707,522,964 > 326,766,748

People in the US, please save some energy will you?
You don't have to display as a gender in order to identify as it though. Supposedly gender is about self-identification now, not outward characteristics, so if LLVM are up on the progressive playbook they know they can't reject you for not "passing" as female if you claim to identify as female.

This is true until you try other things. E.g. I found that if I got attached to units, I tended to be worse off in later scenarios. If you're continuously developing lots of units you always have opportunities to level up & get automatic healing, for example. Of course I say this having never tried anything harder than the medium difficulty setting.

Who says it's a problem? It's not up to anyone else to judge my motivation for changing my gender. If I want to change my gender for 10% discount on a pair of sneakers, that should be my right.

> "Both programs also contain another value of 43. This is the constant that was written directly into the program." (p. 29) — I have no idea what this means.

> I believe that the author thinks that integer constants are stored somewhere in memory. The reason I think this is that earlier there was a strange thing about a "constant being written directly into the program." Later on page 44 there is talk about string constants and "setting aside memory for constants." I'm wondering now…

Yes, most of the book is wrong. In this example, the author probably also presented this idea in a wrong way.

But the author is correct for having the idea that "constant being written directly into the program" (by the compiler!) and "integer constants are stored somewhere in memory", they are correct and make perfect sense. Of course the integer constants and string constants are all allocated and stored somewhere in memory (or somewhere that can be mapped as memory). They are usually known the text segment and data segment.

Good enough IMHO. It is true that an array "name" is a pointer to its base address.

It's a series of problems that confound each other, some artificial, some organic.

First, we have geography. Auckland is located on an isthmus that ranges from 1 km wide to 10 km wide. It's basically on an island. It's also covered in volcanoes. Wellington is bound by the sea on one side, and hills on the other. It's wedged in the middle. They can, and have, expanded into the sea using land reclamation, but there's only so much of that you can do. There's only so much land you can put buildings on, which is a major problem when growing.

NZ also suffers from NIMBYism. People in NZ don't want to live next door to apartments, and they also don't really want to live in apartments either. Everyone wants to live in a detached house with a back yard. This problem is particularly prevalent in Auckland. The poor state of public transport and congestion on the roads in Auckland also limits how far out you can live if you work in the CBD.

And lastly, the rate of immigration has been so high that they just can't build houses or infrastructure fast enough to keep up.

So these 3 factors have worked together to cause a severe housing shortage in Wellington and Auckland in particular.

Christchurch is the only city where house prices and rents are stable or decreasing. However, the city suffered a major earthquake in 2011 which knocked out a lot of the housing supply. Whole suburbs were razed, and will never be built on again. A lot of houses only needed remedial work, rather than full reconstructions, so the housing supply has bounced back reasonably quickly. Christchurch is also the only city of the 3 main cities in NZ that is built on flat plains. Christchurch has practically unlimited space to grow inland.

Most immigrants move to Auckland though, so Auckland has borne the brunt of this housing crisis.
Or... both can be true.
You don't need to download them from HIBP. You can freely download all major breach databases from databases.today. There really aren't many passwords not represented in those databases which are present in others, but for everything else you can just automatically download grab dumpmon like Hunt does.

Also, try google dorking site:vk.com/doc and "@gmail.com"...there are many large password and email databases you can find that way which have not been publicized. This includes many which are not in HIBP. I've tried to call attention to this before but there isn't an active effort to crawl these.

Once you download, normalize and deduplicate the entire corpus of password databases, you can find matches in real time for e.g. signup requests.

Context: I like the Bloomberg site and their drop-down menu is cool. Purely as a challenge, I set out to mimick the styles and behaviour of that menu without using JavaScript and trying to keep the HTML/CSS as minimal as possible. Their menu widget does not work if you switch of JS (but this was not a motivation for me to make this).

Tested on IE 11, Edge 12, latest Chrome stable and Firefox dev on Windows 10.

>Visa the company here doesn't actually function as a credit card like in the U.S., rather it's directly connected to your bank account

People get these concepts confused a lot.

Visa is a payment processor - that is, a company that facilitates electronic payments.

Different "payment types" (credit, debit, gift card) can use the Visa network.

Visa, the company, does not issue any credit cards or debit cards directly themselves, they only make agreements with other financial institutions who issue cards that use the Visa network to process payments.

So your debit card is issued by your bank and uses the Visa network to transfer funds.

Visa debit cards are also extremely common here in the US as well.

MasterCard is like Visa in it's just a payment processor, it doesn't issue cards itself. American Express and Discover, however, are both payment processors and issuing banks, they issue credit and debit cards themselves. It gets more complicated because other financial institutions issue credit cards that use the American Express payment network.

So because of all this I've had a debt card that switched from Visa to a MasterCard when the bank's agreement with Visa expired and they got a better deal with MasterCard. I also had a credit card that switched from using the American Express network to the Visa network.

I've lived on four continents, so I'm at least hazily familiar with the problem. I agree money transfer could be better. But there's zero reason to think blockchains are a particularly good solution to that except in the narrow case of making transfers that are illegal on one end or the other. That's just not a big market, and it's self-limiting. Significant success will provoke regulatory response. We already see how much Bitcoin-related efforts are having to conform to AML and KYC laws.

I don't think high inflation on its own destroys access. I think a failing economic system definitely harms it, just as it harms every other business activity. Last I heard, if you were going to run your own Bitcoin node, you needed reliable connectivity and power. Try doing that in Venezuela right now, where people are barely getting food, and where the government has cracked down on people getting around its financial controls. (Somalia's a bad example; inflation there is reasonably stable now.)

And if you're not going to run your own Bitcoin node, but instead are using a service, then there's really no point to having a blockchain. At that point, you are just using a bank with a highly volatile currency and an overcomplicated transaction database. You'd be better off using a regular online bank and some stable currency.

Yes, I know, "the consumers shouldn't be so dumb". But there is always the group of a society that will bite. The seller may make a good buck, but these tactics have many downstream effects that just get compounded for the people buying this garbage.

There should be some kind of protection for the consumers in this case.

I know it would be hard to define the line, but in this specific case, it's clear that it shouldn't be allowed.

I still use a pretty complex password algorithm:

I like not having my passwords tied to a device, private key I could lose, etc. With an algorithm, I can still avoid credential stuffing, since all my account use totally different secure passwords, but I can derive them without having to look them up.

I realize someone could figure out my algorithm, but they'd probably need several of my passwords and at that point you're talking about a targeted attack.

A constant can simply be part of the actual assembly instructions in the code segment. Depending on what type of constant and how large it is, it might just be inlined instead of using a memory load. Shared use can also be a compiler heuristic, a large constant used 100 times is more likely to be a shared reference instead of inlined.

What do you mean practically with intellectual property? Trademark is out, copyright as well, maybe trade secrets or patents? In case of a trade secret, don't share it with someone whom is able to compete with you. Regarding patents, IMO they've overused plus something artificially created. If China doesn't abide by patents, then maybe the short term financial benefit should've been investigated a little bit more.

Japan improved greatly (many years ago) using somewhat the same method (copy + improve) and seems they're respected for that.

I largely agree with the consensus, although I can see how my comment may have been dismissive of that. I'm pro-legalisation (or at minimum decriminalisation) for all recreational drugs and I believe the War on Drugs has been a complete and unmitigated failure in its stated goals.

But I don't think it's the only reason that recreational drugs were banned and have been kept banned. My other theory on why prohibition is popular is due to conservative Protestants believing that mind altering substances are immoral. I've encountered a lot of people who are against recreational drugs for the very fact that they are recreational (while hypocritically still enjoying alcohol).

Unmasking A.I.'s Bias Problem
> The Controlled Substances Act is flawed because of the locked and immutable nature of it, besides the fact that the drug wars are a failure and it is a health issue not a criminal one.

The Controlled Substances Act has multiple flaws. For one, the CSA explicitly grants different rights to different people on the basis of disability; which is not equal. "Equal Justice Under Law" is etched across the US Federal Supreme Court Building.
The US (and now Vietnam) Declarations of Independence read: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."

The Controlled Substances Act is predicated upon flawed logic: in order to prove a universal quantification ("it doesn't help anyone") one must show that for person in all_people: for condition in all_conditions: doesnt_help_with(x, person, condition;
which is impossible when you're not an agency that funds drug research on all people with all conditions.

A single counterexample (an existential quantification) disproves a universal quantification.

Maybe computers and radar required logic skills that would've gone into law.

Furthermore, (1) write a function to determine whether a given Person has a (natural inalienable) right: what information may you require? (2) write a function to determine whether any two Persons have equal rights.

Furthermore, does the Constitution grant legislators the right to grant right-granting privileges to non-legislators?

> Any drug on the CSA should have to be re-proven every 1-3 years to be medically dangerous to be kept on the list.

One epidemiological statistic which could be used as a threshold is called "Margin of Exposure" (MOE). If alcohol sets that standard for legal dangerousness, most other substances are not too dangerous for persons with rights to Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness.

> We need a Right to Body amendment at some point to get the state out of it and make drugs a health related matter not a criminal one.

Alcohol Prohibition required a Constitutional Amendment; the Commerce Clause was already in place at the time and yet they felt that the Constitution did not enumerate the power to ban alcohol.

Regarding a person's liberty over their own body and mind: liberty is a natural inalienable right. As is pursuit of happiness.

A person can go buy, say, a chainsaw, and on their own property intentionally remove a limb while holding an apple in their mouth to be shot with flaming arrows on live television, and the government claims no loss; indeed the government has no right to claim loss due to dangerous acts entered into by citizens which do not infringe the rights of others.

Phaser is just an all purpose 2D game engine, what kind of game you create doesn't matter. It gives you a lot of tools and functionality you're probably going to end up creating yourself if you used something that's just a rendering engine like Pixi.js instead. Phaser <=2 was built from Pixi.

OP didn't really build this from "scratch" in the strict sense, they used Three.js. This is kind of the 3D equivalent of Pixi.
