OP also mentions targeted online advertising which is central to the current debate and has even led to specific legislation. That is targeted to an audience of one, and is initiated by the person herself, by visiting the website.
Probably worth noting that in some cases the currency alone isn't enough information.

For example, gas stations using USD often use more than 2 digits of precision.

I suspect (and hope) that situation is reasonably rare, though.
> The brand is signalling that they have convinced many people, or otherwise, they couldn't afford that ad.

Or they just convinced a bunch of investors. See e.g. Uber.
There's always one. As if you don't know.
Bit depth becomes continious, essentially. Instead of a 32 bit number, you just have any number you please, as it's continuous. Granted, there are restrictions in translating this to memristors, but thats essentially the gist.

The real key feature of memristors is not the math or any of that stuff, it's that all that math is stable under power cycling and it take nearly no power to compute things. The article mentions that they preformed 188 GigaFlops with about 0.3W of power. The human brain is about 20W at about 1 ExaFlop (a VERY coarse estimate) for comparison.

This power savings opens up the doors for very good computation (ML stuff) on very tiny power sources.

I'm honestly surprised that Know Your Customer (KYC) and OFAC regulation aren't mentioned with respect to Claims. Besides solving for PCI complexity on the front end of payments, Stripe has a solution for both of these things issues on outward payments. Stripe is used by both Hippo, Lemonade and a few other more established insurance companies.
It's not only Japan. For better or worse, just walking by, leaving things as they are and calling the police is a better way to go in most of Europe, too. Usually it's for the better.
You should use both. Basically it's bad idea to push broken code to remote, but running tests and linters on all files is too time consuming.

So you set up lefthook to run your tests and liters only on changed files (which is fast and prevents 90% of problems), but then your code is pushed you still run CI checks on all code to make sure that that some dependency in unchanged files is not broken.
You are being a bit pedantic and misdirectional with that first quote. It's not an important thesis of the article that people already know about the products ahead of time.

In no way have you demonstrated a "completely flawed premise".

> It's been dishonest since the start

How is it a rebuttal to the say that advertising was always dishonest and manipulative...?
>Someone could find this escape room via a search ad, have a blast and tell all of her friends and none of them may never choose to do the same.

And they could ignore the ads, too, which most people probably will because it's not that common a thing to want to do. But at least word of mouth can be expected to be reasonably accurate. If this escape room were terrible, the word of mouth would be terrible, but the advertising for it would never reflect that.

>And an escape room experience isn't something you can easily bring people back for - you need to find new customers every single time.

Maybe that makes it a bad business model?

>Now I'll grant that old school banner ads aren't worth much and we'd probably be better off without them.

I'll be honest, if I had to choose, I'd prefer old school banner ads. Get rid of modals, pop-ups, ads in video, javascript tracking, and just give me a banner with a link, or even just text. Something that doesn't intrude on the content.
I was thinking more along the lines of the two cases are "money is speech if you do something we like" (Donate) and "money isn't speech if you do something we don't like" (BDS), where the common factor is just "what we like". Because that's how it looks to me.
HTML is as complicated as you make it (or need it to be).

In terms of this update...

::marker support is very useful and something we've been asking to have for years.

Scroll snapping is also very useful as most sites implement it in very hacky JS.
How do you find BLM spots?

I've often had to resort to google satellite photos and referenced flat dirt patches with BLM territory maps to make sure I wasn't on private land. Wish there was an easier way.
You’re missing my point. While other syntactic elements can be learned, generics can be abused to make the code unreadable.
So you are saying if I put the car in a vacuum chamber and mounted a CO2 cartridge instead, it wouldn't work?
It would be great to see the longitudinal trend at the national parks. There was a recent report that "camping" (including in tents, RVs, and cabins) is way down in the Adirondacks, a state park system in northern New York. According to survey data, just 11% chose to camp in 2018, compared to 33% in 2013. Hotel, motel, resort, and rentals are up. Regardless of accommodation, average length of stay has dropped from 5.1 days to 2.8 days.

This apparently follows national trends:

More and more, Americans are showing a preference for short getaways of three nights or less, he said, spurring the industry term “micro-cation.”

Millennial and Gen Z travelers, who make up a significant portion of the region’s visitors, typically book accommodations at the last minute and stay two to three days max, McKenna said.

“They take a weekend trip, leave Thursday and come back Sunday,” he said. “That’s a trend we think is going to continue. We’re also seeing people take multiple trips spread out over the course of a year. (Young travelers) are less seasonal. They take trips in the summer, the fall and the winter.”

Fewer people chose to stay outdoors last year than in prior years, and more opted for hotels or short-term vacation rentals, according to the study. Hotels remain the preferred accommodation for visitors.

"This recommendation was based on epidemiological studies suggesting that small increases in the risk of several cancers may be associated with high consumption of red meat or processed meat."

Epidemiological studies are surveys. They are not scientific proof of anything. This is an incredulous position to be taken by the WHO and makes me seriously question their values. They state they are small increases of risk, but do not even go into confounding variables inherent in surveys. True science isolates a variable and proves that there is a causation. It does not do so by correlation.
Insular behavior like this will eventually leave the USA in the dust. China is redoing their entire energy infrastructure and while they probably wont move off meat any time soon at least they have that going for them. Most of Europe and the rest of the Anglo-sphere will happily move to plant-based proteins and completely leave that industry behind. When some of the leading industries in the US are just not exported whats the status of that country going to be.
This is a gross oversight on behalf of the FTC. Is it possible to sue them for negligence?
additionally, because comcast and DSL providers are using existing wiring in what are often very old buildings that are difficult to rewire (at the building level moreso than the unit level), that stuff is often just going through mazes of wiring with tons of interference and really inconsistently performs. fiber is honestly just easier to pull through three stories of 100yo walls than coax, afaict, and it doesn't care if it runs next to power or other data as long as you don't break it.

i wasn't able to get full gigabit when i lived in sf with sonic, but my latency and general reliability was WAY higher than even with comcast business.
There is a difference, whose significance seems to be lost on you, between peer-to-peer, voluntary communication and centralized, forced distribution.

You are not forced to read pamphlets nor do they insert the content of the pamphlets into your newspapers and letters. Typically the only thing you are forced to do by someone distributing pamphlets is to tell them whether you'd like to take one. If advertisements had to ask whether you wanted to see them, the entire industry would collapse.

Pamphlets are also not magically distributed to everyone. People have to decide to help distribute them, which means other people have to cooperate with you to help you spread your message. It is also easier for others to interfere in your efforts, as, unlike online, people can see who and where the information is coming from, and they can also more easily and directly inhibit distribution. On the other hand, any individual can buy a Facebook ad and, with enough money, shove it in millions of people's faces with little to no oversight. Hence, it is easier to spread misinformation (like anti-vaccine propaganda) through Facebook than in real life.
Even at $1/per tree, that is still extremely expensive when you consider that developing countries will need trees to offset their emissions as well. As an American ~$600-$3000 isn't a huge deal, but that outstrips the gdp per capita of many countries.

We should plant lots of trees, but we should also do everything else in our power in parallel.
Where do you put the break in the graph, then? Winter solstice, maybe?

I think for data which is circular in nature (in this case, as the Earth goes around the Sun), it makes sense.

Yes, a linear presentation works too. For me, that would be harder to read.
They are real if you accept the branding of of companies trying to sell products that don’t really do much to people who are lured in by buzzwords. Those of us who actually do real work have serious doubts.
I'll also say this you're insinuating that Amazon has hired this person because of their skills of being able to break into systems. Without proof of this that point is completely irrelevant. To second this why would they not check any of the other previous employers? Seems like you don't like Amazon and my point still stands that Amazon was irrelevant to this whole situation even if she worked for them and Capital One used their services, and that this article is using Amazon for attention.
You are not immune to propaganda. No one is.
We definitely think there is a huge value add to do an ISA after an internship-- which can further show our conviction of our candidates to employers if we are willing to up-front salaries.

We have in the past been able to receive government funding for some candidates that proved really positive for both candidates (received opportunities that they may otherwise not have had) and employers (to take more chances)
In America, only college students that live off campus and do not live with relatives are counted in the official poverty rate. I can't really see why they should be excluded, since they are living in poverty that is just often propped up by debt.

But, the census bureau also calculates an additional poverty rate that excludes college students.
I ask myself the same thing and usually think: "Because they're not good enough to sell themselves".
So just use a directional light source pointing away from the craft...
This paper rejects the existing definitions of memristors as in inappropriate expression (composition) of devices using magnetic flux and inductance. It really doesn't cover the systems that use electrically adjustable resistance.
Even coffee with sugar has way less sugar than a similar volume of soda.
I've actually thought about that model a lot recently. If Google does this then it's one more step towards their goal of getting somebody what they want. Ads usually only show when you're typing a phrase which correlates with a product. Whenever you type "vacuum cleaners", that's you signalling you're likely searching for a commercial product. If not, ignore the ad.

But let's be honest, search ads are not the problem here, toxic banner ads across the web are.
I have no idea why you're being downvoted for this. I like your idea about a golang backend. In fact, the entire application can be packaged within a single golang binary which provides simple distribution and only requires the user have a modern browser installed on their computer. .NET Core recently added self-contained executable support so there are more options available today than just golang.
You'd need to have some very smooth bearings to make that even possible (given that the fan would have to weigh about as much as the car), but the physics seem off, the fan pushes air away from it, the air pushes the fan backwards...
well.. when individuals lose a court battle, they owe the winning party money from their future earnings, in case their current balance does not cover the sum owed. Why don't they make companies do that. It would only seem fair for the amount of damage they did :|
How slowly though? Intuitively, I would think that trees piled wide and 20m high and covered over would still be mostly there in my lifetime. Is this wrong? (genuine question)

500m high is another level. If it took, say, 1000 years for them to decompose fully and release their CO2 in to the atmosphere, that's still potentially useful even if its technically net zero.

We really only need to get past the next 100 years.
This makes me so angry that I don't even want to start pouring my anger in words here. :(

AMD was lucky, but it is also being run by a highly accomplished semiconductor physicist, so some things are perhaps a little less luck than one might think.
I’ve camped in (or free-camped near) 15 of these this summer in the US during a roadtrip. Almost everywhere has been hot and while that has meant some places are less busy than peak, I can definitely recommend favouring those at elevation. Or to avoid crowds, look for accommodation in state parks or national monuments that don’t have that top-shelf brand.

Bryce is currently walk-ups only so you can grab a site before midday, be close to the rim and not get cooked.

SFChronicle: 24 Hours inside San Francisco’s homelessness crisis
I mean.. epoll is already better than WFMO. It doesn't have that silly 64 item cap, or O(N) entry and exit on the wait like it's 1995 all over again. (And that's not to say that epoll is the pinnacle of design, just that WFMO is worse. We can do better than both)

And this better too, you don't need to register futexes with the kernel, the futex wait call is just "I want to sleep until the data at this memory address changes", and now you can say "I want to sleep until _these addresses_ change". NT doesn't give you any equivalent, you need to build in kernel objects to do the same thing.

And if you want to wait for both, you just wrap it into an eventfd and epoll on that.
Nonsense. People in london regularly commute to the city via train from similar distances.
It's a valid critism. They decided to use Google Captcha and it often blocks 'advanced' users. ReCAPTCHA often has problems with Linux, non-chrome, VPN users, and users that use ad or javascript blockers.

That's the kind of advanced user that appreciates and uses an internet provider like Sonic.net.

It would be like a mobile phone service provider requiring people to pass a turing test if they call into the sales line from a mobile phone.
Maybe they didn't expect most people to follow up on this?
Out of curiosity which service do you use to send 2 million mails a day? If it's from your data center, don't those IPs get blacklisted too quickly?
But we live in a culture that can afford entertainment luxury, if people don't find this gals business, they will spend that time on Netflix or at a bar instead.. The zero-sum game you propose is not really close to what would happen without advertising imo.
Your method will be faster, but fyi, you can also put the issue key in the search and it will go directly to the issue. We typically configure search shortcuts in the browser so if you type jABC-123 it will auto expand the j to https://somejira.tld/browse/ABC-123
Or you know, if there were 150m potential claimants and $125 for each, the math required to work out the total that needs to be set aside is simple enough that they don't need to rent time on a Cray to calculate it.
And it was. Does anybody really believe that the damages caused by the hack was only in the tens of millions? That information is precious and the moment that it's stolen, it's stolen for good.
Yes, and iPhone 8 and 8 Plus combined sell 3 times the units as X.
I've had a beyond meat burger, I'm curious to hear the opinion of others that have had one too because I thought it tasted terrible. The texture was nothing like real ground beef and neither was the flavour. It wasn't good different either - I'd much rather have a regular bean burger.

I feel like it's all marketing and they're just riding the hype wave caused by other better products or peoples desire for one. (I assume the Impossible Burger is better - they seem to have gone into more effort to replicate beef, but I haven't tried one)
> If advertisements had to ask whether you wanted to see them, the entire industry would collapse.

Online ads - and most ads tbh - don't force you to do that either. They want to attract your attention but you re free to ignore them. I used pamphlets as the equivalent of advertising in older times, i m sure people would consider them just as pushy/spammy back then as we consider online ads now. They are not peer-to-peer by definition - there is no point preaching to the choir.
The New York Times War on Drugs
You’re talking about interfaces for waiting on multiple kernel resources but the new futex interface enables you to wait for multiple user resources.

Though it can emulate a win32 api for waiting on multiple “objects”, it’s strictly more powerful than WaitForMultiple if you are dealing with user objects since futexes impose very few constraints on how your user synchronization object is shaped and how it works.

So, the new interface is totally different from things like epoll. In one case the kernel is helping you wait for multiple user objects and in the other case it’s helping you wait for multiple kernel objects. The distinction is intentional because the whole point is that the user object that has the futex can be shaped however user likes, and can implement whatever synchro protocol the use likes.

Finally, it’s worth remembering that futex interfaces are all about letting you avoid going into kernel unless there is actually something to wait for. The best part of the api is that it helps you to avoid calling it. So for typical operations, if the resource being waited on can have its wait state represented as a 32-bit int in user memory, the futex based apis will be a lot faster.

Is the Epstein affair in general considered off topic?
I think it is Gilad Bracha that said, when the decision was made to include only covariance in Dart, that variance flies in the face of programmer's intuition.

He's right. It's easy to understand one level of variance: you can replace a return type by a subtype and a parameter type by a supertype. (I wouldn't be surprised that many programmer don't undestand this.)

Two levels already requires some deep thinking (assuming definition-site variance: `List<Object>` or `List<String>` as a return type / parameter type, was is allowed to replace it?

More than that? (`List<List<String>>`) Hahaha, good luck.

And by the way, Java has notations to specify the variance of type, but only at the use-site, which is different from doing it at the definition site (both enable expressing things the other can't do... but you can actually have both, as I think is the case in Kotlin, though there are some limitations).
> It's been dishonest since the start. Criers lying about the effectiveness of some tonic, the attractiveness of some woman, the strength and wisdom of some leader.

If those are harmful practices, why would someone turn them into a business venture? To profit off of evil? Making something into a profitable business does not cleanse an activity of morality.

There is also a significant difference between saying you have found a magic bullet for all illnesses and saying you have discovered a specific treatment for specific diseases and had the treatment studied by independent experts to characterize its positive and negative effects in detail. Trying to convince people they need something (advertising) is manipulative, but informing people of something they might need is not.
Each apple, each year, for the last 40 years, that somebody grow in their garden, is an apple less that must be moved burning gasoline from Idaho or Colorado to a market near you, one piece of fruit less that must be waxed and wrapped in plastic and put in one-use wood boxes, before to be moved again to your house, probably burning a litte more gaz.

Isn't the obvious answer here to just make Equifax pay more money?
You can have your (very) low power LTE base station.
Bandwidths ie radio spectrum frequency allocations, including LTE are licensed/managed by respective governments.
Carriers pay these governing entities for use of the bandwidth for a period of time.
Carriers once secure the licenses, deploy technology (towers, earth stations, satellites, etc.) for the use of purchased bandwidth.
They hope they will recoup those costs and profit through selling the use of the equipment and bandwidth use to you.

Put it in a different way, you do not have the LTE infrastructure & licensing, therefore you must rely on a cellphone carrier to provide you the towers and such.
And this is why young earthers get coal in their stockings on Christmas morning. If people have this much distrust in creation, maybe they should consider Gnosticism.
I start a new job next week and am planning on a new strategy with my devices. I'm going to leave my laptop in the office and use my personal computer more often, and I'm not going to add any of my work accounts onto my phone.
But it's not like nothing innovative has been released by others. There's the Echo, there's Google Glass, even the Pebble watch, which I would argue was more innovative (as watches go) than the Apple Watch two years later. Are any of them as financially successful as the iPhone? No, but I'm not saying Apple hasn't been financially successful, only that it has not been as innovative as it was in the past.
The FAQ is written by the FTC, not by Equifax. They have no need to sugarcoat the situation. :)

Campendium (site and app) has been quite reliable. I set my search to Public and Free. Or if that reveals nothing, I untick free.

We bought a shuttle bus in California, ripped out most of the seats, put in beds, then drove it over to Florida and back again. Literally hours away from flying back to Australia tonight. I’ll go through and review each site on Campendium when I have a minute.
