> Just to clarify the "hacked" part of the title:

> Technically speaking, even though the term 'hacked' is broad, what happened was an attacker utilized the server response/messaging capability to phish users (it was more convincing because rich text was allowed to display in the electrum client). The message provided a link to "upgrade electrum", but was actually installing a malicious clone.

> The attacker amplified their reach by spinning up more malicious servers which could loosely be considered a sybil attack.

> People using the correct wallet software and not clicking any links are unaffected. Electrum was no more "hacked" than gmail is hacked every time one of their users is sent a phishing email
interesting, python got a subset of that not long ago
It does have something to do with it, at least in the reflective case where surplus $$ allows street repair projects (among other things)

That's a huge red flag. Unless you have hope of that getting fixed, I'd start looking around.
Having some employers go out of business isn't a bad thing. It happens every day for all sorts of reasons.

Just in San Jose alone there are over 60 Starbucks stores, plus all the other chains and independent shops. Closing a few won't have much impact.
On Opera, anyway, there is no scrollbar, so the only way to see past the second row on any given page is to navigate downward via repeated tab button strikes.
I run marketing campaigns and my perspective is that retargeting is effective but you can't believe the actual ROAS shown. Companies that only do retargeting will pitch guaranteed amazing results because it's the easier part of the funnel and all your efforts from all your channels feed it.

Branded SEM is another area that you can't trust the numbers. You'll have an amazing return because people were searching for your brand in the first place.
Correct and acknowledged in my comment, good call.
Although that bit is written in the third person, Peter Jackson is the report author (according to the second page). That doesn't change your point but it does add a bit of flavour to some of the text.
Comparing the mobile products is a bit unfair. The mobile version of Fortnite is the same game as the console or PC versions. If you try both the mobile and full version of PUBG it is clear that the mobile version is pretty stripped down. The most obvious difference is probably the interiors of buildings.

It's been a while since I tried it but I recall the mobile Fortnite having control options that let you turn off autofire. I'm also pretty sure that matchmaking between mobile and other platforms is opt-in [0]. You shouldn't be up against PC players when you're on your phone.

Supercars are very different - if you steal one, it's a) pretty easy for cops to spot and b) pretty hard to exchange for cash. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, can be irretrievably exfiltrated in minutes.

I didn't downvote but the tone here is pretty patronizing:

>For you to center the conversation around those arguments shows you're not very informed on the topic.

The "it's too complicated for you to understand" tact is a tired, overly-used canned response from cryptocurrency evangelists, who seek (intentionally or not) to derail discussions about very real issues.
UUID has version and variant information encoded, but there are no fixed bits. So all 128bit numbers are potentially valid UUIDs. For forward compatibility, a database UUID type will set the correct bits when generating a UUID (v4), but many implementations will not check the version/variant flags while processing UUIDs.

Listen to the artists named in the article. Half of the players that are part of the recent wave are on the same record labels as your "weird new electronic artist". The Comet Is Coming, one of Shabaka Hutching's many bands, is a great example, and so is anything on Brainfeeder.

> We don't know that obesity is caused mostly by over-eating.

No, that part is obvious and we do know that more calories results in more weight. There's no debate. The only debate is in what causes over-eating.

> Many basic questions about diet are unsolved, including the reason(s) that some people gain weight while others don't and the reasons that the vast majority of people can't lose weight. We just do not know to what extent do genetics, gut flora, lifestyle, and diet affect weight. We also don't know what makes for a "good" diet, or whether the same diet is good for everyone.

Also flat out not true. You're creating some ridiculous standard for "knowledge" when in reality, you only have to have "good enough" knowledge in order to be healthy and not obese. Most people can easily adhere to, but for whatever reason, don't.

> This is not obscure knowledge. Literally if you google "what causes obesity?" you'll get pages like this: https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-conditions/healthy-li....

Yes, and? The answers are not equally weighted. Just because there are 3 answers, doesn't mean each answer is equally responsible in the cause of obesity.

> I am not claiming to be an expert, but I am claiming to be somewhat informed, yes.

I am claiming the same. My parents are biomolecular scientists and for them it is not contentious that overeating causes obesity. If we're giving weight to anecdotal evidence, I'm entitled to at least give my own evidence the same weight as you do yours.

> I am claiming that the scientific evidence is not there for obesity.

And there are people claiming that anthropogenic global warming is a myth, despite scientific evidence otherwise. However, I'll take claims that are true (overeating causes obesity - replicated many times), over claims that may or may not be true.

Please realize that you're in the minority on this, but the science is already settled. It's ok to admit that you're wrong.
>You still need to have the raw mechanical aim skill

Not even close to the extent you need to have it for a fast-paced AFPS. Watch some top-level quake gameplay and compare it to top-level Overwatch gameplay, it's night and day. Hell, some OW characters even aim for you or don't need to aim at all to be effective (Winston for example)

>but now there are a host of other mechanical, tactical and cooperative skills to master on top of that

Cooperation sure, OW does put more of an emphasis on teamwork. But as far as mechanical and tactical skill goes I don't see how you can make that argument unless you've never played an AFPS
Cash in the bank already is "electronic money". Cryptocurrency doesn't add any benefits, only complexity, waste and unnecessary risk.

> I'm not expert in JWT and just jumping in here, but wouldn't that imply total compromise of the PKI if this ever happens?

Not necessarily. Let's say I steal your password and use it against the auth endpoint to get 10 one-time tokens for your account. Re-rolling the master key is a solution, but a very radical one if I can just invalidate all your tokens don't you think? ;)
> Lexicographically sortable identifiers are critical for any distributed data store if you want anything close to consistency.

wat?

This doesn't make any sense to me. Requiring that events be partially ordered if not totally ordered is a consistency requirement, sure, but I'm failing to understand how a database's consistency depends on the data you're putting in the database.
Having lived through that, it matches my experience. It's one of the reasons that I now fully buy into the recommendation of not being the only remote worker on a team.

Sure, that's not really unique to Elixir though. You've had things like that in Ruby (e.g. %w, %W, %r, etc) and Rust (e.g. r").
Gotcha, thanks for that. I wasn't sure if you were coming from the place of a musician who's super deep into it, or a novice or non-musician who just can't really grok notation because that just isn't their world. Obviously it's the former.

I think your ideas here are so interesting! I totally see what you're saying with accidentals being reserved for quarter tones. I studied microtonal music in college and hated the notation systems. They truly feel "bolted on" to standard notation.

Have you developed any sort of concrete "replacement" system? If so, I'd love to see it. This is super cool stuff.

Unpopular opinion incoming:

I’ve known girls who have done sex work. Mostly smaller things like selling used clothes, or pretending to be into a guy for gifts, but a few who straight up were prostitutes. They always had a story of “having no other choice”. The reality every time (again, from those I knew. Not trying to generalize and claim I know them all) was that they weren’t “forced” into it at all. They just preferred that work because they made way more money than what they’d do working and it was easier. But they didn’t like the fact that sex work would negatively impact their future (jobs, relationships, etc), so they came up with victimhood stories to justify it. No idea if that’s what’s happening here, but if I had to wager money I’d wager it’s along those lines based on my experiences.

I see a few others in here mentioning that universities handle learning disabilities. I think if you’re so mentally disabled that you can’t hold a part time job, it’s probably not a great idea to invest 100k into a college education. I don’t know many jobs that require a college degree that are easier to succeed in than working for a min wage job at 10-20 hours a week. So sure, the universities are more accommodating. That’s because they want that 100k pot on your head. If the reality is you can’t hold down part time work for mental disability, I think we need to have yet another discussion on where the ethical line is for universities endenturing students futures for their short term financial gains.

> If there was any other revenue stream, Facebook would’ve used it.

I like to think that Facebook has too much of a desire to make money to employ less lucrative models of revenue. Maybe that's a point we should talk about. Is there a model that might generate less-but-enough money for the website?

> why don’t you benefit them as well by simply removing your ad blocker.

I'm trying to understand a model that works for both parties. Targeted advertising doesn't work for me.

> People usually feel obligations for others who have helped them (Them providing you the service) and will thus try to give back.

I agree entirely, which is why I'm donating time and effort to brainstorming a better solution. I mention in another comment something about a third-party members club, entirely voluntary (with minor perks), where members would subtly assist the vendor to help mitigate some kind of cost, somewhere. The kinks have no been fully fleshed out.

If you're interested in contributing I'd look into it a little closer as I don't think containers align with the security model of Qubes. They'd rather support spinning up single container VMs which run separate Docker instances... probably not even in a Docker swarm due to the security channels that opens.
>The battle royale subgenre started with the Minecraft hunger game mode, and grew more popular by H1Z1: King of the Hill, and then by PUBG.

Minecraft had nothing to do with it. PU was inspired by the Battle Royale novel/movie and The Running Man. He forked the Day Z ARMA2 mod and made DayZ: Battle Royale, and that predates H1Z1 KotH by 3 years.
I don’t get it. Why should anyone be thankful that they lost bitcoins, simply because the software was free? I really dislike this trend of absolving free software of literally any quality standards whatsoever. Don’t act entitled, sure, but you’re doing no one any favors by refusing to even express desire for better quality.
Probably because the author followed this blog: http://www.wildml.com/2015/12/implementing-a-cnn-for-text-cl...

If a person defines jazz as "swing or bebop music that sounds like it did in the 40s and 50s" then that person will have created for themselves a concept of jazz which (by definition) cannot evolve.

That person isn't going to get much value out of _complaining_ that jazz isn't evolving by their evolution-proof definition of jazz, though.
I used to use Netbeans for PHP dev and loved it but development of the IDE seemed to slow down and the transition to the Apache foundation took too long. I have since gotten very familiar to using VS Code with the PHP intelliSense addon. VS Code is very fast and light on resources and has an addon for almost everything.
You missed the point of the joke.

PUBG succeeded and vastly popularized the BR genre but it definitely didn't invent it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royale_game#Early_games...

While Battlegrounds was not the first battle royale game, its release to early access in March 2017 drew a great deal of attention, selling over twenty million units by the end of the year,[18][19] and is considered the defining game of the genre.
Are they equitable? There is some resemblance, but it's different enough.

Let's put it this way, despite the ills of the US Credit Bureaux, I would want the Chinese Social Credit system much less. Even with no credit, one can still get on a train, it does not affect what schools you can put your kids in, or penalize my spot in a gov't queue.
Looks pretty cool. I wish people stopped dismissing Clojure because for uninitiated it looks "weird". It is an amazing language.
The entire point of this is apparently leading to this bit at the end:

”Nowadays, unsubstantiated fears of monstrosities created by genetic engineering (including, God forbid, smarter people, drought-resistant crops, and mosquitoes that don’t transmit malaria) threaten to slow down research and development in crucial areas, including coping with climate change.

Progress, as was realized early on, inevitably entails risks and costs. But the alternative, then as now, is always worse.”

I found the article a very fun read with a completely disconnected ending. It’s almost like a school assignment where the writer said “Oh, I got my 5 pages. I’m done.”
Silly generalizations borne of ignorance.

> Anything since the 70s and rise of smooth jazz is just rehashed mockery

...oh dear...

> someone perform Giant Steps note-for-note, or do a perfect Ella Fitzgerald

dunno who's doing the former outside of Berklee practice rooms. And while hotels give venues to the latter, the heirs to Ella are people like Adele and Erykah Badu.

But maybe I'm just yelling into the wind; to a sufficiently snobbish snob, isn't everything "just rehashed mockery of a thing that once was"? Holding the past too preciously and scorning the present for its difference (while at the same time blaming it for that) is an unassailable position in the worst possible way...
There's a lot of game design baggage that big IP titles just can't resist including, I'd expect an arena revival to come from an indie shop trying new things and importantly leaving out a lot of other things.

I used to work for Boeing on the 757 stabilizer trim system. I can verify that the engineers who work on such flight critical systems are very much aware of their responsibilities to make them as safe as they can. None of them want anything to do with creating an unsafe design.
I still prefer NetBeans having tried the alternatives. Something just makes sense to me about how certain features worked that I couldn't get comfortable with in IntelliJ and Eclipse. These included:

- Jumping around code with clicks on functions

- The code completion with verbose JavaDoc/comment details

- The profiling and debugger tools were supper easy to use

- Automatic Maven dependency management resolutions
The shops don't create horrid stenches. The grow ops and processing facilities do create noxious odors, but the stores hardly produce an odor that can be smelled from the street, or even in the stores.

What kind of people do you suppose loiter at these shops? From my experiences here in CO, no one loiters at these shops. The stores often have pretty tight security and attentive guards. You go in, do your business, and leave with product in hand. I would be willing to bet that the kind of people who visit these establishments is far more varied than you are able to comprehend.
It's amazing to me that we still have paper processes like this. Similar is the situation when you want to rollover a 401k account. Many institutions insist on snail mailing you a check for the full amount, that you must the mail on to the next fund. Ridiculous.
Personally, I don’t carry cash on me. The only time I use it (kid’s lunches, lottery tickets for office pool (I refuse to be left behind in the unlikely event they win, otherwise wouldn’t play), and spur of the moment things requiring cash/check), I either withdraw right before needing or the night before. I also don’t do checks, really.

I’ve been able to get by with card for the vast majority of things, so it works for me.

We sold our vehicle because the monthly payment, insurance, gasoline, and parking costs were adding up to about $1000 a month.

I planned on downgrading from an Infiniti to a 3 year old Honda Civic or Fit.

I visited three dealerships in my area. The experience was horrible at all three. I consider myself a decent person, but I now judge people who work in car sales or car sales management and not in a good way.

Anyway, it’s been a year since we sold that vehicle. Our total transit costs this year have been < $1000 according to mint. Luckily we use a combination of mass transit and just walking places. The mass transit in my city isn’t that great, but it’s still thousands of dollars cheaper than the hassle of car ownership.

There’s no way I’d pay $40K-$50K for a vehicle to buy a Tesla. That being said, I hope the dealership model dies and these blood sucking, anti competitive conmen have to fall to a more honest way of living.
