It's in the sense that it's extremely difficult to write a program and fully understand what it's doing - that's why higher order representations and correct-by-construction languages were invented. Rather than putting bandaids on it with secondary and tertiary frameworks, languages like Haskell were built to be correct by construction.

But then there's the question of whether any of those flaws are even reasonable to take upon your contract when you consider their use-case within a blockchain context. If you're only ever running terminating programs, why expose the entire language to the attack surface of non-determinism and re-entrancy bugs when there are very reasonable and expressive CbyC languages available?

This is totally my experience. If you want to know why people die trying to stretch out their supply of insulin, that's why. They know they'll be punished for being too much of a pain in the ass. My friend with epilepsy carefully hoards his drugs. He knows he needs to be able to skate at least two weeks on his own.
Just getting the information to forge half the bill is hard enough: Either you have the original, in which case you don't need to fake it, or you have the other half, in which case you've already compromised the bad guy.
I (non-US) am on (up to) 8 per day, or 2920 per year. To get an average of ~42 pills per year (250/6), it only requires 1 in 70 to be on a similar regime (2920/70 ~= 42). Given that 8% of American adults have high-impact chronic pain (frequently limits life or work activities)[1], that doesn't sound that excessive.

Sanity check: 19.6 million people * 4 pills per day * 6 years ~= 172bn pills. That's over _double_ the actual number, suggesting high-impact chronic pain sufferers are, on average, only taking 2 pills per day.

Edit: I overlooked that this only covers oxycodone and hydrocodone, and not the other opioids, but as they account for 3/4 of the total opioid pill shipments[2], it doesn't change the picture much (76bn * 4/3 ~= 101bn, which is still well under the number I posited above).

That's not to say there isn't an issue with diversion, but in terms of raw numbers, it doesn't seem excessive.

> And a whole episode about how the word latino is offensive and it should be changed to latinx.

which is absolutely... absurd. latino comes from latin american languages, which are gendered by default. that's basically colonialism -- americans trying to apply their culture into other people's culture.

(sorry for the rant but i find infuriating that americans are trying to change MY language because of their sensitivities wrt gender)
Why was this downvoted? I had the same idea. If you can power 80000 homes with a container sized reactor, why not start deployment? Easy to transport, you could power small neighbourhoods. No more wide spread black outs.

Not sure how much maintenance will factor in, but a reactor that size sounds already practical.
I wouldn't want to be an early adopter for this type of technology. Even just play old VR is still so new that we don't know what sort of effects prolonged use will have on physiology and cognition, and direct stimulation of the brain, a system whose precise functioning still seems so largely unknown to us, seems all the more dangerous.

I feel that some day we will be able to comprehensively decode neural communication but I would liken our current state to something like surgery in the Victorian era. I wonder if these student volunteers see the situation differently than I do, or if they are just that brave.

I love the tomato juice story from The Man Who Loved Only Numbers:

> Graham was not the only one who had to put up with Erdös's kitchen antics. "Once I spent a few days with Paul," said Janos Path, a fellow Hungarian emigre. "When I entered the kitchen in the evening, I was met with a horrible sight. The floor was covered by pools of blood-like red liquid. The trail led to the refrigerator. I opened the door, and to my great surprise saw a carton of tomato juice on its side with a gaping hole. Paul must have felt thirsty and, after some reflection, decided to get the juice out of the carton by stabbing it with a big knife."

A Free Electricity Source is Quite Possible

The more people try and experience global power supply situation, the more they face continual hike in prices of this essential need. To this effect, a lot of people seek alternative power source that they can depend on. Dependence on various big international corporations which monopolizes the market with continually rising prices, and even dictates the proportion of energy to be consumed due to what you can afford, as well as the environmental pollution, they actually discovered that there is need for urgent way out.

It is pertinent to know that world today can not function without full-fledged electricity supply. The social, economic and personal system of life now demands for light, sound, modern communication and technology. At this present time, oil and gas determines the world of power supply, but now, there are alternative technologies that are already proven and available. One of those new devices is magnetic energy generator.

The magnetic energy generator is the most familiar alternative energy source that has its production for free and easy maintenance. So many consumers and businesses have started the implementation of this noble means of generating energy for free. The highly interesting aspect of this magnetic energy generator is self-control that the owner will have over his electricity generation without paying for any bill to any electricity subscription companies. Though, it is currently less well-known, but quickly gaining in fame.

The material to build this magnetic energy generator is not new, it has been in existence for so many years, but has only of recent become better known and available to the public for domestic use. The concept of the magnetic energy generator is very simple. It only work by the use of forces of attraction and repulse in magnets, this continuous movement is created and then be converted into electricity. As this device powers itself without external energy supply it actually creates more energy and is able to supply us with totally free electricity.

Drop: "Code is 12345678"
Courier: "That's correct, Here's you're money"
Drop: Tears bill in half and hands part with serial number to Courier as proof

You should not store any token in the frontend. Instead, have a server doing that and use a classic secure cookie session. The session is bound to the token / refresh token and can then do the token management.

Alternatively, don't use access token / refresh token but an ID token. The refresh of the token will be done via the ID token and the user's session (cookie) to the OAuth provider.
Well, based on the last 50 years of fusion research, the time from 'now' to 'net positive energy production' is quite consistently between 20 and 50 years.

Fresh trash really isn't problematic. It was the food scraps we just finished eating and we would feed it to them as soon as we got done with dinner. It didn't sit around in a bin for days to rot or anything. But yeah, if we had been a regulated operation that probably wouldn't have been okay.

We used the chickens for eggs mostly and meat when they stopped laying. We used the sheep for meat every spring. We would trade with the neighbors in exchange for helping farm our vegetable crops or fresh milk from the small-ish dairy farm down the road. It wasn't the kind of thing where we were selling to a grocery conglomerate or anything.

Probably none of our farming practices would have been acceptable at scale. But that wasn't our point. It was mostly just for our family. Honestly, not the worst way to grow up. You farm your own food and slaughter your own meat. You learn a certain respect and appreciation for what sustains you.

But anyway, yeah, I don't know what the rules are if you're selling your livestock. Feeding them trash probably isn't allowed, even though it's efficient.
That is very informative, thanks!

Losing weight is hard work. It Ultra Omega Burn System Review is a journey that you will undertake and there will be road blocks along the way. No one is perfect and you will slip up every now and again. The main thing to remember is to get back on track as quickly as possible before all of your efforts are for nothing.

Rewarding yourself is a good way to stay on track. Every time you reach a milestone in your weight loss efforts, you need to give yourself an incentive to continue and to feel good about yourself.

Food should never be a reward for weight loss goals. Perhaps you want to buy a new pair of shoes or some clothes. Clothing in a smaller size is a really excellent way to remind yourself that you have achieved a positive result.

As you continue along your journey of weight loss, rewards help you to feel really great about yourself as well as what you have achieved. The better you feel, the more likely you are to continue with your program and to regularly achieve more milestones.

Tokamaks are the direct evolutionary step up from magnetic mirrors because these had problems with with electron containment at the mirrors. A circular design removes the mirrors and therefore this problem. Unless these guys have completely novel mirror configuration, they must run intonth same issue because electron and proton trajectories are quite different at these energies.

there is only one way to get around this. incognito mode needs to emulate all system resources without actually making them available.

even without that consideration, for things like disk storage, there is no reason[1] why incognito mode should have less access than normal mode. all websites should function as normal. the only difference is that in incognito mode everything is wiped once it is closed, and nothing is written to disk.

[1] ok, so the reason for the limitation is that the disk has to be emulated in memory because incognito mode must not write to the disk which could leave artifacts behind.

this makes me wonder if it is possible to detect a difference in timing for example when writing lots of data with an emulated disk vs a real one.

For someone who experience rapid weight loss and Ketozol Review regain it in a short period of time is rather haunting. It frustrates majority of fitness buffs and weight loss seekers. Others are challenged to combine healthy diet quick fat-burning routines and diet pills together so that rapid weight loss is attained.

It's a given reality that people want to shed off fats as fast as possible. Regardless of what to do and how much to spend they embrace many ways just to be shapely. You may be one of those who despite reservations knocking your conscience you try your luck with diet pills and hunger suppressants so that you can curb your appetite. It may not bother you to shell out hundreds of dollars because your expectations are high. You think that in a blink of an eye you can have the sexy figure you've always wanted.

Diet pills hunger depressants and weight loss patches are those that actually assist many individuals in their weight loss programs. Apart from working out and eating healthily they feed their bodies with fat burners and appetite suppressants that may hasten their way to lose pounds. Suppressing hunger deviates the natural bodily mechanism but it's been found to be effective as one of the quick weight loss tips adhered by many.

Many supplements and pills are marketed to have been made out of natural and safe ingredients which can either be true or just a hyping strategy. Being wary as to which supplementary medications to purchase will help you aware of any side effects which may surface later. These hunger depressants are supposed to drop the discomfort and pain brought by hunger. They also help you to suppress the craving of fattening food that will hurdle your way towards rapid weight loss.

MSFT employee here, Teams sucks balls. I have only barely used Slack but when I joined the company everyone was using SfB which blew dead goats.

Teams is much better than that. But the search is bad, I agree on scrolling, its atrocious. But man, I have a big gripe with search. Never do I get the results I want. People search is even worse. Adding a new person to chat with somehow takes more clicks than necessary. It will only show a limited number of people whom you conversed with when you scrolled down.

The higher MAU numbers are just because it comes pre-packaged with O365 subscription. Difficult to discern how much traction it would get if it stood on its own.

My 2 cents.
Remark that that past evolution (of niche formats) does not bode well for the future of streaming video.

Though the term digital twin was occasionally in use in the virtual reality and manufacturing community as a concept in the mid-1990s, Dr.Michael Grieves explicitly defined the term in 2001 for a digital version of a physical system as part of an overall product lifecycle process.

The term has been widely used in manufacturing since then and has been a key sales messaging for companies like IBM, Dassault Systems, Siemens amongst others. United Technologies for example have been demonstrating digital twin concepts for routing in flight engine telematics into 3D virtual engine simulations for trouble shooting and maintenance since 2005.

The term regularly crops up in manufacturing, maintenance, smart cities, IoT and more recently AI related proposals and projects and generally means a virtual simulation that uses real data to simulate a complex system.

As pointed out by many over the years - the concepts are also described by Prof.David Gelernter in his book 'MIrror Worlds: Or the Day Software Puts the Universe in a Shoebox...How It Will Happen and What It Will Mean' first ipublished in 1991.

SO perhaps less bizarre and more just less familiar on HN.
Ingredients for creating disruptive research teams
I loved both for different reasons.

Diablo 2 was a bit more on the rails to me: if I play a specific amount of time, I can acquire the specific pieces of gear that I want for a specific build. Diablo 1 it felt like you were chasing pieces, but grand scheme of things, you just wanted the best in slot more often than not. Story was more there too and the quests appreciable. They didn’t phone in the sequel and really delivered a great game.

Diablo 1, however, I enjoyed stacking Intelligence as much as possible so that I could have pretty substantial levels of casting skills from books (since you had to have x amount of points in it for the next level book to work). In that way, it felt like you could have a God Character in a way that D2’s 20 max assignable (more could be gained as mods on gear) didn’t. You had to also work at that, which felt rewarding.

Each prototype will be more complex and more expensive than the previous one and it will take longer to build. Current research devices have enormous infrastructure requirements (Wendelstein 7-X and ITER both span a whole campus of several buildings for power supply, plasma heating, cooling etc.). If Lockheed wants to scale up, they will eventually have to build all of that as well.

I am based out of the Asian sub-continent. I cut the cord on my Netflix subscription 5 months ago.

I only have a Prime Video subscription and a Hotstar subscription (for Live football, tennis etc). Netflix started becoming a place which would have content that I absoultely didn't want to watch and there were gazillion such titles.

I felt that a reduced set of options that Hotstar (which has license to HBO-content) and Prime Video was good enough for me. I felt I had too many options on Netflix and didn't want the overhead to select one.

As for some of the content on Netflix that I do like for e.g. Narcos & Mindhunter, Piracy FTW.

Consider Just-in-Time compilation which is very much used in AOT languages [0]. That could be one avenue, as long as the compiled code works on each machine (common instruction set), or maybe something slightly higher-level like LLVM IR can be produced and transmitted and then compiled on the driver/executor.

Another approach could simply be to transmit the function source to the driver, compile it, then distribute it to the executors assuming they're the same architecture, or compiling it on executors if not.

There are certainly options.
