Just this days I was looking on how to handle a large chunk of videos and came in contact with WebTorrent.

Both bitchute and Peertube use Webtorrent, but seems that you're done if you want money to come into play.
Air is a ridiculously bad thermal conductor - it's thermal conductivity is 0.024 W/mK, so to deliver the same heat flux as a 100W light bulb through a meter of still air would require a temperature difference of about 4000 K. Most heat transfer through air occurs through convection (wind). Even then, if you can keep a 5 foot buffer zone of still air between combustible material and the raging inferno, you're fine. This is how you see pictures of scientists standing 5 feet away from a moving lava flow.

As the article states, though, it really is all about the embers. If you keep burning material from landing on other combustible material, fire is not going to start. That's why it suggests using non-combustible materials for roofing, avoiding areas where embers can catch, and keeping treetops away from structures.
> AFAICT, You can't use the platform without authenticating to the centralized servers of blockstack

Nope, this is not true. You can authenticate to an application without a Blockstack Core node; the only thing the Blockstack Core node does in the authentication flow is to pull up someone else's public key and storage routes. You can choose which node to use for this; both the blockstack.js library and authenticator give you the option. I use my locally-running node, for example.

> It's been a while but last I checked, you had to register a domain (with $$$) to blockstack in order to run an app.

On-chain names are not free, but only because they require Bitcoin transaction fees (and shorter names require an additional Bitcoin "burn" to dissuade squatters). If you send two properly-formatted Bitcoin transactions, then all Blockstack Core nodes everywhere will process them once they confirm and register your name to your public key.

Off-chain names can be given out for free, and do not require the user to wait for any transaction confirmations before using them to authenticate (this is what the product offers now by default). Off-chain names are first-class names like on-chain names, and have the same safety properties (they have slightly different liveness properties though -- details here: https://docs.blockstack.org/core/naming/subdomains.html).

Today, if you register a Blockstack ID via Blockstack's authenticator product's onboarding flow, it will be an off-chain name that ends in `.id.blockstack`. Your signed state for this name, as well as other names registered at around the same time, will be hashed and anchored to an on-chain "name update" transaction for the "id.blockstack" name and replicated to all Blockstack nodes once the transaction confirms. Until it confirms, other nodes will redirect lookup requests on it to the registrar for id.blockstack (but once it confirms, any node will be able to handle lookups).

This matter-of-fact tone irks me. It implies that the reader must see life as a competition ("outperformed", "achieved more") just to understand the sentence.

It was all over the news. We have the BBC on one screen at work constantly. I saw the footage a few times the day after it happened completely inadvertendly. Not to mention it being all over social media and pretty much unavoidable.

"Just don't watch it" is an idiotic response.

This is only example provided:

>>In 2016, an investigation by Bloomberg found that Amazon tended to withhold their same-day-delivery service from minority neighbourhoods. Gilliard pointed to the example of Roxbury, a majority black neighbourhood in Boston. In Bloomberg's reporting, Roxbury was the lone area where same-day-delivery wasn't available, completely surrounded by areas Amazon would deliver to.

In other words, Gilliard expects companies to not target their services to neighbourhoods where they are profitable if the unprofitable neighbourhoods where the services aren't provided are disproportionately populated by minorities.

That's not reasonable, and calling the refusal to do so racial discrimination is absolutely irresponsible. The activists are asking for special treatment for minority groups, so that rather everyone and every neighbourhood being judged by a color-blind algorithm, the algorithm takes the individual's race or the neighbourhood's racial composition into account and reduces the penalization people of certain races receive for being low income.

"Wrestler exaggerates."

From another Hogan lawsuit: "Belzer sued Hogan for $5 million and later settled out of court. On October 20, 2006, on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, it was claimed (with Hogan in the studio) that the settlement totaled $5 million, half from Hogan and half from Vince McMahon. During his June 23, 2008, appearance on Sirius Satellite Radio's The Howard Stern Show, Belzer suggested that the real settlement amount was actually closer to $400,000."

Regardless of this, the point still stands, Thiel was very much more involved in the Gawker lawsuit than "paying legal costs" and that, regardless of the validity of Hogan's claims, or the trashiness of Gawker, troubles me. "Billionaire bankrolls lawsuit against someone he has a beef with, but could not himself sue, and appears to stage manage case."

I actually just came across this one this morning and happen to have it open in a tab. I'm only about halfway through but it's really interesting. They mention that some states have constitutional clauses that would seem to prohibit these sorts of arrangements altogether. I'm planning to check Westlaw to see if anyone has ever brought suit alleging the breaks to be unconstitutional but I haven't had a chance yet.

Welcome NVMe/TCP to the NVMe-oF Family of Transports
In my opinion it seems the Pi was too good at fast and cheap prototyping and people started shipping products based on it, overlooking the fact that the hobbyist and unreliable nature of the board wouldn't necessarily scale as hoped.

It always looked to me like the Pi was supposed to be used some steps before hardware integration and shipping.

I am glad products are built on it but I was a bit worried when I had to evaluate a Pi based solution for digital signaling last year. Maintenance was a key factor in the proposals.
I don't know what order your experiences happened in, but one thought in the first is wrong because of the second: There is no upper bound.

It's something I've seen in other comments here in the past, too.
That was, inadvertently, pretty funny, although I was more referring to the way that you usually wouldn't tell someone, "Oh, just go read Rudin" if they really wanted to understand analysis. Instead, you'd give them Rudin and an entire semester's worth of lecture notes and recitation sessions -- which is how we actually educate people.

That's not entirely true. If you mess up you can end up rebreathing your own air in the tube.

It has small holes that are supposed to allow fresh air to mix in even if the machine is not providing any. But they are small.

If you are a normal sleeper you would normally wake up and remove the mask if you feel suffocated. (For example a power outage.)

If you are with someone who uses such a machine you can test it - unplug the machine, and see how long it takes them to do something (wake up, or remove the mask in their sleep).
High RDIs/AHIs are directly linked to orders of magnitude higher risk of heart attack (and I think also strokes).

>Your grandmother, doctor, etc are not aware they can use a password manager with a master password such as "dandy-pencil-colonist-precise-populate-stardom"

They are. My grandmother in particular cannot handle such a thing. At all. This exactly the sort of dismissive tech myopia that comes from people who get too deep into the tech trenches and lose sight of huge swaths of the general population. It's very easy to take for granted the huge amounts of meta knowledge and mental models of abstract systems people like us possess. With those as frameworks lots of things make total sense that are utterly confusing to those without them, even ignoring sensory trouble.

>which would be more difficult to crack than finding and copying a fingerprint on your device.

Really? Seems a lot easier: there that person is hunting and pecking (you don't think touch typing even is universal do you?) in public, hard of hearing and totally focused on that, while someone else stands behind them and just watches. Even assuming there are no cameras looking down of any kind around of course. Using words like you suggest makes it even easier, if you know each section is a real word then even missing parts will make it easy to fill in the blanks, heck just hearing it would be plenty to narrow the search space. Or how about using WiFi transmissions directly to recognize keystrokes ("Keystroke Recognition Using WiFi Signals": https://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2015/papers/p90-aliA.pdf )?

>Its only a matter of time until one of these is cracked, and with touchID and faceID they're going to get cracked before said password is cracked.

Uh-huh, sure thing. That's why we read all the time about the vast gangs using harvested finger prints and 3D face scans to unlock iPhones, but have never read about shitty PINs getting brute forced or people reusing passwords or password reset mechanisms getting abused because people forget them all the time or password databases getting leaked or...? Yeah, passwords are certainly the best!

>PS: Just a piece of advice, your tone throughout this thread isn't going to convince anyone. On the contrary.

Right back at you. Your comment comes across as a typically dismissive, smug put down of the needs and requirements of large portions of the our fellow humans who do amazing things but just not in our specialty. And it's an attitude that has actively harmed security.
Thanks. Visualize Keras model is easier than other kinds of model, as TensorSpace's API is designed based on Keras, you can easily use keras-like TensorSpace API to build TensorSpace model and visualize it.

You still can. Biggest marker to avoid those problems is to avoid first-time founders. While repeat founders are quite rare in Berlin, most of their startups are compareatively healthy from what I've seen.

They minted 1,000,000 MKR tokens a few years ago and were selling small amounts every month to the public for the past few years. They have less than 500k tokens left right now.

There seems to be anecdotal evidence. I've read about and talked to founders who have said things like "They just could't get hired" or "couldn't handle working for someone else" and "had no other option but to start their own business".

>Is anyone aside from beach-front property owners in favor of bailing them out?

Totally anecdotal, but I have 2 friends from the time of doing my PhD in Germany. The first one is a brilliant person, hard-working, always determined to get to the bottom of things, but is not very charismatic. The other one is totally relaxed, doesn't care about what he's doing at all, but is extremely pleasant, cheerful and willing to agree with everyone just to make them happy (and will forget what he said 5 minutes later).

5 years after graduation, the first one tried several positions from an architect to a senior researcher, couldn't stand the politics and infighting and ended up as a software engineer in a fairly conservative enterprise. The second one started as a sales consultant in a smaller place, shook a few hands and is now a project manager in a Fortune 500 company.
I always thought of Airtable as a simpler FileMaker for the web - just to mention another comparison.
On my Pixel 2 you can (though not conveniently) plug a typical USB-A Security Key into the USB-C port via an adaptor and of course it just works.

I enrolled a key this way (USB-A key plugged into an adaptor on the USB-C port) once just to see if it works. Bizarrely Google will let you do that, but, having proved that it works, they then immediately tell you that you need to install Desktop Chrome before you can enroll any other keys. No idea why they think that's a good idea let alone necessary.

> Unpaid overtime definitely conflicts with labour law.

I can't find any evidence that it does. It seems to be common practice:

https://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/topic/342740-unpaid-ove...

If you receive a salary, you don't get paid by the hour. If your contract says you don't have a right for compensation (monetary or otherwise) for extra hours, then you don't. Negotiating such terms is up to the employee (or the unions).

> There is also a maximum amount of hours you are technically allowed to work on a day, which is ten.

That's a different thing from not being paid for hours you work extra.
Propaganda. Soros fear was manufactured in response to (very legitimate) concerns about the Kochs’ influence on US politics. The right needed their own boogeyman and so they blew up Soros far out of proportion to his actual influence.
I think it's a matter of interpretation. "A house can be thirty feet from an entire forest on fire and never burn down" is not equivalent to "A house thirty feet from an entire forest on fire will never burn down."

It's a bit tricky because in truth a house may be touching trees that are one fire and "will never burn down" (in the sense that it won't that time) can also be a true statement.

I think a generous interpretation is that "A house can be thirty feet from an entire forest on fire and never burn down." is meant to mean that a house thirty feet away from the forest fire likely won't while a house right next to the forest fire likely will.

It was poorly worded, but it isn't necessarily saying what you state.
