This study also, unintentionally, correlates cheating at work with stupidity. Anyone who thought they would find actual women on Ashley Madison was deluded about male-female dynamics in the real world and clearly didn’t understand women. And, anyone who gave a “service” like that personally identifying information was just a fool.

This is exactly what’s motivated me to finally learn https://bepo.fr, a lot of special chars are on the left on the keyboard with the altgr key modifier. So you have to use left fingers and right thumb to get things like curlies, pipe etc. So far my pinkeys are much better. Though i must admit that learning to touchtype on bepo was one of the must frustrating thing i ever had to do ^^
It is. The sum of decimals is much faster than the modulo.
I agree; and this is why there is not one jot of extra risk in exploring and testing; our simulation could be shut down at any time for some incomprehensible and arbitrary reason; so lets just enjoy reality while it is still there.
For all we know; the last fifty million years took place while Sally was away on a long school trip; and when she gets back she is going to be gutted that a disaster scenario killed all her nice dinosaurs; and press quit.

It's the same with AMC stubs A-list in the US except for more of a premium; ~200% of a standard adult movie ticket, $22 a month (if you don't go to certain states) and only 10% off concessions. It's better if you have a theatre near you with IMAX/Dolby/etc. showings since it's the same price.

I can type quite fast (easily 100 words / minute), but never had any official training. My hands are always positioned like your second drawing. Could it perhaps be that the standard way people are taught to type (i.e. fingers resting by default on the middle row with index fingers on the F and J key) makes people more inclined to bend their wrists which can lead to complaints?
Just use it anyway.

Delivery packaging is the same as you'd get if you went there in your car.

The appropriate comparison is with cooking at home. Takeaway food is a luxury.
Yes, the latter, and a lot of the really expensive home audio kit.

Bridges suck. You have to have someone who is constantly monitoring it.
Yep. The primary way I get to/from drinking events is Uber/Lyft. The other use case is when going somewhere without parking. Taxis were always very unreliable for trips like this; they'd show up late or not at all, especially for leaving events late at night.
Can you elaborate? What measures involving cryptocurrencies, specifically?

Here (in a small town) the flies have gone from prevalent to a minor nuisance.

My guess is that the trashcans for the automated garbage trucks having lids is the bigger factor though.

Still lots of biting flies in the woods.
That would be true if not for massive disinformation campaigns by corporate interests. Apparently most of us can't be bothered to dig into the source / motivations behind any media story, be it TV news, newspapers, Facebook feeds, Twitter posts, or blogs, etc.
No idea! Would it be expected for an electric motor to lose so much efficiency in that scenario, though? I though the variation was small.

Motor efficiency aside, a total “energy spent for distance moved” accounting will look bad at such low speeds, just because the car has to power non-motor systems and they use energy at the same rate no matter how fast you’re moving. Peak efficiency in a Tesla is at around 25MPH.
I have a pulse; I'm not going to believe unsubstantiated speculation without seeing anything that resembles evidence.
Here are some additional resources for folks looking to ditch the keyboard: https://handsfreecoding.org/
For off-the-shelf solutions, consider the Mistel Barocco, Matias Ergo Pro, Ergodox EZ, Mitosis, and of course keyboardio.

I own the Mistel Barocco and keep the two halves of the keyboard like two feet apart; cannot recommend it enough.
I have lived in situations where there was a good farmer's market nearby where I could buy produce directly from small local farmers, and I have had the same thing happen to me. I began looking forwards to eating a salad, then stopped when I no longer had easy access to the good stuff.

The various things that happen to produce destined for a shelf halfway across the country are really just not appetizing.
There's certainly a trade-off. However, grocery stores in the US discard massive amounts of produce, and then still more is wasted when consumers bring it home and don't use it. It feels like we would have plenty of room to reduce yields, ship less food around, and still get everybody fed. (that's a hypothesis, not a conclusion)
> Why should opening regular links be Javascript functions?

This is annoying me in the youtube redesign as well. When you visit a channel you can't open the "videos" tab in a new tab because it's implemented as a javascript thing instead of a proper link.
TL;DR: A CEO who is dumb enough to get caught cheating on his spouse, is twice as likely the do the dumb things needed to get caught cheating at work.
Which they accepted, no?
The study says all of the information is publicly available. Where can I find the Ashley Madison data, and how can it be verified?
even in the Nigerian prince mails they don't go out of their way to give the prince a biography that could have been written by Erich von Däniken.
> I think this is one of the great things to come out of the invention of the web. We are becoming better informed and this kind of information is becoming more prevalent. It’s becoming much harder for these big corporations to hide these negative side effects

We are at the end of that era. The big corporations are slowly closing down that unintended loophole in which the internet was a tool for free movement of knowledge. Google now filters and shapes results into their idea of what is OK rather than exactly what you are searching for [1]. The FBI just called conspiracy theorists a domestic threat [2] and open forums are under attack [3]. Not long ago you were a nutjob for claiming Monsanto and Roundup were anything other than gifts from God. We will be going back to that world soon enough.

This is correct. The problem wasn't that the Atari and Commodore 68000 machines weren't "serious" computers. It's that they had the wrong pedigree.

CBM and Atari made powerful machines that came "up" from the home computer market. IBM made underpowered machines that came "down" from a mainframe manufacturer. It was an easy choice for PHB's to go with Big Blue. As they used to say: "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM."

How Apple survived was something of a miracle. My impression is that it was because it gained early traction in certain industries with the first mass-market WIMP machine, and retained some air of "seriousness" because pre-IBM PC, 8-bit Apples were the "serious" business machine for the vast majority of companies. (Think 90,000 accountants all banging out VisiCalc* sheets.)

*The fact that iOS just auto-corrected my spelling of VisiCalc in 2019 makes my inner nerd smile.)

It's fine. We're in a thread about people's "snake oil detectors" going off, and your use of module where the right word is modulo kept causing the needle on mine to deflect, but you'd say something reasonable right after.

The famous 19th century English poet Robert Browning was not a particularly worldly fellow and got it into his head that the word "twat" referred to a nun's headgear. Later he wrote a poem that needs a rhyme for bats in the context of religious folk arriving for prayer and he picked "twats", - then since he was an important English writer and this word was unfamiliar to them (or at least they had no citations for it) the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary asked him about it, and discovered his error. Oops. You're never going to make a mistake that'll be as famous as Browning's, so you're fine.

They're simple enough.

Churning them out by the millions with sufficiently narrow tolerances to "just work" and doing so at an attractive price point requires a very finely tuned manufacturing operation and that kind of thing doesn't happen overnight.

If some despot had all the ball point pen production people rounded up and shot it would take us while before we figured out how to make ball point pens in the same volume at the same price again because there's a lot of tribal knowledge that goes into this sort of thing. This is basically the position China is in because they want to make ball point pens but they don't have any ball point pen people.
The business of business is messy. Capitalism will forgive most ethical or even criminal misadventures of it yields profits. That's not capitalism's fault, it's just how humans operate.

"Audiophiles" are generally associated with not high end audio equipment at absurd costs and no reasoning. Oxygen free copper cabling, making sure your cables are isolated from the floor on little stands to reduce the vibration they absorb, "burning in" amplifiers for thousands of hours to improve the flavor of the output in a supposedly perceptible way. Many behaviors with the consistency of rubbing deer blood on your car hood to give it bloodlust, and therefor extra speed.
Yes, as described with a constant electric field this shouldn't work, but the idea of using solar wind as a reaction mass seems reasonable. It seems like you'd want to concentrate it with strong magnetic fields first though.

Here's one example of how you could use a dynamic electric field. A low voltage AC potential across a gap will make ions entering at slightly different times concentrate down to a bunch at some tunable focal length. From there you just have a normal LINAC to shoot them out the back.
I didn't downvote, but only because I honestly can't tell if this is satire or not.

Obviously money/status matters a lot, but only up to a certain point. Are you able to feed your children right now? Are you paying your bills? If yes, how does getting a raise help with that? You can’t feed your children twice. My point is that we sometimes keep chasing these external rewards without knowing how much is enough. It’s hard to find lasting satisfaction when nothing is ever enough.

You don't seem to realize this, but your argument is essentially "I trust Signal more", a purely authoritative one. And I don't think there even exists a threat model where anything that Signal offers over competition is important, especially given their obsession with control.

Volcan Baru – The Highest Point in Panama
Linden Lab had (still has?) a similar system called “The Love Machine”. Instead of noting what you did, your peers would recognize you by “sending love”. There were several ways to do that. One was through IRC where everyone would hang out when I was there (pre-Slack). You could tell the LoveBot, “/love username for fixing that annoying bug” and it would get recorded.

Every quarter, bonuses were paid based on how much love you got. It wasn’t much on average if I recall but it was a nice addition to the recognition.
With major world leaders regularly decrying the Free press these days it doesn't seem so needless or hyperbolic.
There’s usually a funny noise long before any catastrophic failure, so I think it’s the bearings or the gears, but concrete information is hard to find.

I actually had my motor replaced due to this noise. It was a high pitched whining, kind of like a jet engine spooling up. Not real loud, most noticeable in a parking garage with the roof open, and I wasn’t even sure if it was abnormal, but I took it in and they replaced it. It’s easy to swap out, so they just put in a new one and then fix the old one at their convenience and give it to the next victim.

Incidentally, I had another weird noise sometime later which was a distinct clunking sound when accelerating from a stop. That turned out to be a bolt that wasn’t tightened properly. Oops!
Ugh, this is just awful.

> Unfortunately, for writers in these situations, there is not much recourse. According to Jonathan Kirsch, a publishing industry attorney, lawsuits are not the answer for everyone, or even most people. "When I started out [in law], people would say a $20,000 claim cannot be litigated in a cost-effective way. Today, I wonder if a $100,000 claim can be litigated in a cost-effective way. So that’s one issue. It’s just expensive."

This is just one of the things i really hate about capitalism (and it's not specific to the publishing industry): in our modern-day environment, we have little power to protect ourselves against richer/more powerful entities. Basically, whoever has more money wins; and this deeply saddens me.

beating or coming up short on estimates just means you were bad at giving the market guidance.

doing better or worse than a competitor is a matter of underlying economics and the efficiency of the business.

once you remove future investments (eats, freight) and just compare the core ridesharing business, Lyft is doing worse than Uber.
If you have excess income, consider committing to give X% of your salary/income away to charity.

You might find researching effective charities that you are passionate about to be an interesting endeavor which might satisfy the "shopping" itch if that's part of what motivates you to buy things you don't need.

And if status symbols is your game, going to charity gala events and showing off your donations on social media can take the place of instagramming your new car or gadget.
Sometimes a founding CTO needs to hire both an Architect and a VP of Engineering.

You can't put the burden on the grower either. If you have two growers, one who tries to internalizes all the costs of production and one who doesn't, the market will reward the latter, because the market -- the consumers -- only see the price and appearance of the tomatoes. Regulation is required so that externalizing costs is not an option for either grower. People who rail against regulations, most of them, just see it as a cost and a hassle and a totem of a hostile tribe they want to drive out of their society; but the people who are paid to rail against it are paid by interests who know well what the regulation is meant to do and know that they will be the externalizers without it. And what they're paying for is agents who will bamboozle the majority, keeping them useful, angry idiots.
There are too many games in this world that I don't think you can make that statement. Have you really played all of them?

I can definitively say that in some games the stealth is so difficult that you need to use exploits just to complete it at all instead of taking the simple combat route of just killing everything. In Warframe all guns instantly alert all enemies, melee weapons and thrown weapons are silent but in reality they produce sounds too. If the AI was alerted by them then the only way to do stealth would be to just use permanent invisibility (most players don't even bother because it's too difficult).
Kind of a broad question so I'll try to answer it with stuff I would like to know.

- HDD 750GB (data, steam, etc)

I boot my laptop -> log in on tty1 -> keyring unlocks for session -> I3 launches(with video from the Nvidia card via passthrough) -> default stuff launches (firefox, thunderbird and terminal(tmux)) in their workspaces.
I would wager the average consumer today would be very disappointed in beer, meat and fruit from the middle ages (~500-1400 ad). There was no refrigeration, no hops (rare localized use of hops in beer started just at the end of middle ages), fruit hadn't been cultivated very far, etc.
..it's ironic that a conference about having the freedom to explore and tinker censors a video they don't like.

That chart doesn’t tell you much at all. Who cares what the marginal rate is, if you’re allowed huge deductions (as was common back in the 1950’s).

That’s why the marginal rate was higher 40 years ago, but the amount of taxes collected was lower.
YouTube keep showing breaking news even after opting out
You are absolutely correct to point out the key hole in this entire article; there are thousands of potential outcomes and potential benefits of proving we’re in a simulation.

1. Perhaps the goal of the simulation is to prove it’s a simulation, sort of like Neo meeting the Architect

2. If we do prove it’s a simulation, perhaps we can make a plea to the creator for the things we want and need

3. It could be a combination of the two. If it’s a simulation and we discover it, perhaps the genie will grant us three wishes

Though it is also possible the author is correct. In any case, I would rather know the truth than remain ignorant.
