Its frequently one of the few times during the day where I do not have to interact with someone, especially when traveling for work. Sometimes I just want 10 minutes to myself to think.
It can also be used to 'ratfuck', if a video is released with a politician saying a gaffe, they can release a bunch of similar but fake videos and then claim that 'all of them' are fake. The confusion would sow doubt- the technique could be used offensively as well as defensively.
Politicians and greedy monopolistic companies are the number one culprit for aerial fiber in the first place, so...
+1 that Durham is the most interesting part of the RTP. Having lived in Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Morrisville, and Chapel Hill over the years, I liked Durham the best. But like a lot of cities, gentrification is causing a lot of social and cultural upheaval in Durham and the surrounding suburbs.
Options are going to affect the returns so much in good times rhr insurance probably isn’t worth it.

A better idea would be to go long short, 30% short, and 100% long has always been popular. The leverage from the shorts lets you juice the long side while also giving you the 30% short protection. This should allow you to achieve a better Sharpe ratio than the market.

If you can’t get the leverage, consider buying a S&P ETF that has downside protection in exchange for capped returns.

Not from the evidence you've marshalled so far.
The difference is that those sites don't let anonymous users run arbitrary code on their servers, unlike Jsfiddle.
"It’s important to note that the marketing came from ODD Company, an agency known for elaborate campaigns, such as grass slippers, that involve creating fictional products or staging stunts for an existing brand."
And even then, scammers can always switch to custom domains. It seems futile to block arbitrary code execution unless they only allow whitelisted domains.
1. full-blown virtual UNIX servers running at bare metal speeds (joyent-branded zones).

2. ability to run virtual Linux servers are bare metal speeds (and their applications).

3. simple and easy container management of 1. and 2. with imgadm and vmadm.

4. OpenZFS - easy capacity growth, checksummed data, silent data corruption detection and self healing.

5. lightning fast, faster than GNU/Linux performance on the same hardware.

6. same application portfolio as GNU/Linux (14,000 applications available with a simple pkgin command invocation).

7. ability to create virtual routers and switches out of thin air with dladm, join and partition physical links in terms of percentages, simplifying network topology in virtualized environments.

8. OS paranoid about protecting and self-healing itself and the data it hosts.

9. ability to pick between KVM (slower) or bhyve for paravirtualization of non-Linux OS's like Microsoft Windows, OpenBSD, FreeBSD et cetera (although this process is poorly documented).

10. NFS V3, V4, fiberchannel and iSCSI which work correctly.

There is one major downside (I don't consider it as such, but I know others do): one must pick the hardware compatible with SmartOS from the Joyent's hardware compatibility list, not the other way around: https://eng.joyent.com/manufacturing/bom.html.

But when it does fire up over the network and once one groks it, holy shit, it's like being taken into the future with a time machine.
Hi,

Thank you for the honest feedback.

Please take a look at the 2 following videos: https://kerkour.fr/blog/the-just-cause-and-the-infinite-game...

To understand the structure of the article.

This article is not intended to everyone, it's intended to those who believe what we believe. The early adopters, the potential contributors.
Number 50, Two Stepsisters, is the source of my favourite expression in the Norwegian language:

USSR in 1986 was not autharitarian as depicted in the series.

There were no inspections at gunpoint - people went to certain death to save lives of others. Knowingly. This is Cold War's 80s, even schoolchildren knew dangers of radiation, including symptoms of radiation sickness etc.

Evacuation started as soon as disaster recovery team got evidence of dangerous levels of radiation, there were sanitary norms and pre-planned measures for any kind of problem at the station.
The people speaking at events as experts on crypto mostly don’t know what they are doing.

I think you covered most of my objections, the only thing I'd add is that the expensive catalysts have (or had? surely it's improved?) a sharply limited lifespan, so your $60k fuel cell could only run for 1000 hours before requiring a full rebuild.

Basically these "H2EV" things are EVs with a range extender, and the fuel cell range extender that they're using is in all ways inferior to a biodiesel or ethanol fueled range extender.

Hi, it's great that you still had time to comment this post :')
I was going to make a joke, but actually a good answer to this is that users could just direct people to checkout their blog linked in their bio. This is assuming the person you are responding to didn't mean block all URLs from the site; just from tweets.

Technically it doesn't solve the scam problem though:

"I'm definitely the real Elon Musk. No question about it. Click the link in my bio to get 40 ETH, but you need to send me 20 ETH first so that I can verify things."
It sounds like you're conflating blocks and rectangular grid plan. A block is just a cluster of buildings in an urban or semiurban environment that don't have streets between them. They don't have to be rectangular. When used as an informal distance, it means the distance between subsequent urban cross-streets that you should be able to walk in about a minute. If you've been anywhere in Europe that has more people than sheep, then you've definitely seen blocks without realizing it.
My advice, learn Git from the command line. Not all of it. But at least enough to do what you want to do...which isn't very much...set up a local repository, connect it to a remote repository, commit, add, push, pull. There is nothing special about LaTeX in relation to Git.

There are many git tutorials. Git Immersion http://gitimmersion.com/ is the one I used. Not claiming it's the best. Just that it has a long track record, has been updated since Jim Weirich died, and worked for me.
Eight hours spread over several days will probably be more than enough and you will learn much more Git than you need.

The reason I recommend learning the Git command line is that it decouples version control from editor choice. If you try a different editor a month from now, only your editor changes. You don't have to learn how it handles Git...that's the Unix philosophy: compose little programs that do one thing well. All that changes is the editor part of your workflow.

The other reason I recommend "just learning the command line" is the many times I have spent many many hours looking for the perfect tool, wading through redundant Google search results, downloading and installing software, learning new special programs, only to find that underlying issue remained. I didn't understand the program I was trying to avoid learning.
Seems so. I also find it interesting that people have sudden moral realisations working in industries designed not to be morally respectful.

Ad industry is about convincing people to buy things they don't want using any trick available, the result here is entirely predictable and inevitable.
This became obvious a few years ago. I went to a startup pitch event (actually to get pointers on how to write my own) and was genuinely horrified at what all of the ad-tech guys were up to.
There is no reason to assume any moderation or morals here. The naked greed of surveillance capitalism is such that all of the precautions that might have looked like the province of tinfoil hat wearers are now justified.

A textbook publisher is not obligated to publish every textbook where there is the slightest demand for it.

A newspaper is not obligated to publish every letter-to-the-editor which comes its way.

A scientific journal is not obligated to publish every article submitted. Articles are even retracted.

Their failure to publish is neither "cutting someone's tongue" nor "censorship". Or, if it is censorship, it's been around since forever, making the term meaningless.

Why should Google have an obligation to publish that no other media company has?

(I also agree with DanBC that what you wrote is not true. Among other things, why are there so many anti-vaxxers when the anti-anti-vaxxers have used the techniques you mentioned, and more, and when there is no credible doubt about the lack of connection between vaccinations and autism?)
We need more software engineers in this space (and not just at the edge). The way some of these core networks are maintained just makes me shake my head. There are way too many manual processes and way too much push back whenever software is introduced to standardize configs.

Sure, the best place to start is The Century of The Self:

It’s a great look at the rise of marketing, individualism and hedonism in the 20th century.

Democracy In America is another great source:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_America

It’s an extremely prescient, outsider’s look at the tyranny of the masses.

I would also suggest studying the context of the 20th century, especially the lead up with the industrial revolution and both world wars. It’s often lost on people that Western life as defined by American sitcoms was an anomaly powered in large part by the rest of the first world being nearly obliterated. This leads ultimately into global recovery and globalism which I see as a normalization of life after WWI and WWII.

Post-modernism is good to learn about as well. I feel like a lot of people mistake modernism and post-modernism. Post-modernism can actually include a lot of things modernism rejects, such as traditional family structures. It just does it piecemeal framed in a totally different (non-religious) context.
A friend of mine worked for Acxiom, and when they looked themselves up they found 6-7 different profiles, all fantastically wrong, some clearly mixed with information from other people.

Admittedly it's a very private person that I'm talking about who deliberately obscures themselves by leaving incorrect or misspelled information when forced to give any information, and who moves, switches jobs often, has an odd name, and changed that odd name through marriage. But I think that a lot of us are falling for the marketing of these intelligence companies, rather than judging them by predictive effectiveness because we don't have any access to that.

There's no real theory of mind behind all of this stuff; it seems to be that it will only ultimately be effective for creating black/whitelists where you don't care about a lot of false positives.
Some fun facts about these tales:

"East of the Sun and West of the Moon" is the original source material for Disney's Beauty and the Beast, being the inspiration for La Belle et la Bête.

Collecting Norwegian folk tales was a result of the national romantic (you could say separatist) movement during the 19th century; Norway was a part of Sweden at the time.

Most Norwegians haven't read more than a few of these. They are perhaps best known as stop-motion/puppet films by the director Ivo Caprino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dMbxrspfoU&list=PL6B529FE04...

Here are the ones that I think are most entertaining/recognized to such a degree that they are worth reading:

- The Three Billy-Goats Gruff
- The Ashlad Who Ate a Match with the Troll
- The Ashlad and his Crew (the film above)
- East of the Sun and West of the Moon
- The Husband Who Was to Mind the House
- The Boy Who Went to the North Wind
- One's Own Children Are Always Prettiest
- The Ashlad Who Made the Princess Say "That's a lie!"
- Soria Moria Castle
- The Giant without a Heart in his Body
- The Three Princesses in the Blue Mountain
Not the same. Marx assumes you should have no rich people. Separating powers does not imply that. It just implies rich people should be isolated the other powers.
Corporations and rich people fight for lower taxes all the time. Usually the argument is that if the taxes are too high they will just move to a different country.
The N26 app is garbage. Revolut is OK, but it's a money changing service, not a bank. I did a transfer from the Revolut account and it took 3 days. Topping up is fast because it charges your card, rather than doing a transfer.

I've always heard that you should complete your AA at community college before transfering for your bachelors as it's a lot easier to transfer with the entire degree than trying to translate individual credit hours between schools.

So first two years cheap at community college for an AA/AS then you only have two years for your bachelors at a more expensive school.
In my experience yes.

Example: We struggled with some read-queries taking a long time when aggregating over millions of rows. To solve this, we used triggers to pre-compute aggregate groups in real-time during write, which allowed us to easily achieve sub-second response times. However, this caused a lot of write amplification and now this is becoming a bottleneck. We could probably solve some of these problems by looking into column stores, but that carries it's own downsides (operational complexity, real-time data loading, etc.). Or we could buy faster disks, but that gets expensive quickly.

YMMV but I certainly still experience more database/disk related bottlenecks than application-level ones.
The low-effort snark is unnecessary and weakens the conversation. At least make it witty.

JSFiddle is a pretty low tier target that most people won't miss. Github links aren't. Also, I'd imagine Github Pages is more responsive to taking down scamware, it at least requires an account, and has more of an interested in keeping malicious behavior off the platform.
But that's what Google is doing. "extremism" is an existing term, and their demonetization and moderation mechanisms exist as well.

If you're suggesting Google should be prevented from moderating content that doesn't meet a strict definition of legal harm... fair enough, but there's nothing stopping laws from being passed which would justify Google's policies.

I don't think so. When you're in the middle and neither the source nor the destination of a route implements MANRS, there is not much to protect/verify. MANRS does protect you from becoming a leak, among other things. (I am not a total expert on routing, so please take this with a grain of salt)
>I'm still in awe that starting off your life with massive student loans is a thing.

I'm of the opinion that, at least in the US, we romanticized the idea of "going off to college" to "find yourself". It is assumed to be this huge drug-fueled, party sex orgy that is funded on essentially credit.
This is basically how I see the climate change situation. Just like the chernobyl series depicted, it's scientific researchers that fully understand the matter at hand trying to convey how serious of a situation we are in and others just being all handwavy saying they're overreacting and such.

Others have covered it in more depth, but the fundamental issues with hydrogen are:

1) generation (very inefficient, or generates tons of carbon)

2) storage, both offline and in vehicles (very expensive, dangerous, heavy, very inefficient, or a combination thereof)

3) transport (same, due mostly to 2)

4) usage efficiency (not bad with a fuel cell but still not great)

5) power density (fuel cells have low power to weight which is why no-one uses the generated power directly)

6) fuel cell lifetime (fuel cells don't last that long)

7) fuel cell cost

I've held this opinion since the best EVs were using Optima Yellowtop PbA batteries and Mr. Musk over there was working at Paypal.
Yup, it's easy to spot a bubble but it's not easy to be able to tell how big it's going to get or when it's going to pop. You can be out by years and by magnitudes, which isn't useful for being able to profit from it. It's better to just plan for the worst and treat your exposure to the upside like a gamble.

If things are slow, instrument and investigate. Only bother fiddling with Array.length if profiling with production workloads exposes that as the bottleneck. More likely the problem will be elsewhere.
Thanks for your reply. I'm fairly new to C#, and was hoping that linq would make my life easier. Oh well.

I made some benchmarks myself: https://pastebin.com/5vQNpbPC

And esp. the Sum is a lot slower in linq. Not quite an order of magnitude, but pretty bad.

Even worse:

float sum = 0;
arr.Select(x => (sum += x * x)).ToList();
return sum;

This is somehow still a lot faster than the normal linq Sum. What does .Sum() do to be this slow?

This is true, but speaking only for myself, I got a lot less done then, and it was really hard to get information. I managed to get data and manuals on my Spectravideo 728 only after most of my friends had already switched to Amigas and Ataris :-)

Sorry, I just read the reply :)

If you're still interested, basically I opened my Poste account in the city where I lived as a student at the time. I then graduated and moved elsewhere, but when my debit card expired, I got a letter that told me to pick up my new one... in the old city's office, hours away from my home. There was no way I was going to lose a day just to go there, pick up the card and go back, so I decided to just open a bank account somewhere else. But then I couldn't move my money there because the Poste debit card acts as an authentication device (you swipe it into the OTP device that Poste provides), both on the website and in person, so I couldn't transfer or withdraw my money, or even close my account at an office. I had to spend money to send a _raccomandata_ and wait 30 days for my money to finally be transferred to my new account. Fun times.
There aren't any assumptions about DNS or certificate pinning here at all? That you think it's relevant strongly suggests you haven't the faintest idea what's going on.

Second pre-image attacks aren't possible (a theoretical pre-image attack exists for MD5 with difficulty just marginally better than brute force, this is a further good reason to stop using MD5 but isn't an immediate problem). So only the person who made file X1 could have produced file X2 with the same MD5() or SHA1(), since they could have produced both with a deliberate collision, whereas anybody else would be obliged to create a second pre-image.
