Normal ACH (Automated Clearing House) transactions in the US tend to be free. I can move money from one bank to another bank without any fees. It usually takes anywhere from 1-4 days. This is moving US dollars. Not sure what the cheapest way to move USD to EUR is and likely not free.

Are you sure? Because it's not that easy to dissolve cannabinoids, except in lipids. I haven't been into making carts myself in a number of years, but back when I did the major hassle and challenge was actually getting your extract to dissolve, and people were experimenting with formulations to get better mixtures with less effort and heat.

If the transaction doesn’t end up in the canonical version of the blockchain (ie the nlockchain still says its unspent), then surely you can transfer it again, no?

Of course if the blockchain does say it was transferred to a nonexistant address then its gone forever. I guess if it passes checksum, this is the likely scenario?
Isn't the problem that rich people are better at accessing the "value" of something...

Is value synonymous with ROI in this case?
I have a Keybase account with a wallet. I haven't actually used the wallet for anything, but it does exist. And I didn't receive any lumens.

If this surprise gift was for "each active Keybase user", how do they define "active Keybase user"?

Edit: Also, the desktop app didn't show anything about joining the monthly airdrop. I had to fire up the mobile app to see it.

Edit 2: After fully quitting the desktop app (including status item) and relaunching, the Wallet section finally shows an "Airdrop" entry. I shouldn't have to fully quit out of Keybase for this to work though.
Low-code/no-code tools have been around for a long time and come and go in cycles. Microsoft Access and Excel are examples of two more common tools. BI tools tend to be big targets as well including older tools like Talend ETL and newer ones like Looker. WYSIWYGs have fallen out of fashion as web sites have become more complex, but that used to be the way to write HTML. For more examples look through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language or search articles on visual programming.
This is largely dependent on your account type and bank. There are many types of accounts that will not charge for wires or will only charge on one side (incoming/outgoing) of the transaction.

I don't pay outgoing wire transfer fees on my business account.

Yes, I was hoping for some progress at HostGator so I could get rid of the last Python 2.x I have running. But I can't, yet.
You haven't eliminated them. You've just moved them into a dedicated co-processor.

Co-processors are cheap when they're ubiquitous, like DMA. Co-processors are expensive when they're in custom hardware, like K-V stores. I'll get more performance/$ by using standard SSDs than you will by buying specialized hardware. And because the workload is IO dominated, we'll probably both get the same absolute performance from the same server (that differs only in storage devices).

You'll only recoup those CPU cycles back if you bin pack CPU heavy workloads next to IO heavy workloads, which is rarely desirable for storage services, because it adds a great deal of variance. But you just spent shit loads of money eliminating variance by going to SSD.
Mind if I ask the reason why you’d pick GraphQL as the default API technology?

They have these all over the western US as well. Mostly Chinese though I think. Back from mining, logging, and rail building times. Many are for the most part undocumented or barely documented with short footnotes in texts from the time.

I often hear this, but I just don't see this working in practice. A very similar example I have experience with, I've often worked with people who tried to write code that would be "compatible with Windows" (I primary work in a Linux environment). It makes the code more difficult to read and as soon as you try and run it in Windows it fails spectacularly.

You can write code that's compatible with both Python 2 and 3, but I don't think you can expect to be using Python 2 exclusively and write code that works well in Python 3 unless you're constantly running it with Python 3. Especially, if you don't have much firsthand Python 3 experience. This is much easier if your code is isolated from those dependencies and you write tests that run in both Python 2 and 3, but that's quite a bit more of a commitment than you seem to be implying.

Sally will be greatly missed, for sure... I was fortunate to have worked with her on the network simulator NS-2 team (VINT project) and met her several times at USC, ISI and at UC Berkeley (and many times in online conferencing, using the Mbone tools!), what a wonderful person she is, so calm and soft-spoken. She helped implement TCP and RED in NS-2, along with Van Jacobson, Lee Breslau, Steve McCanne and other established team members! She also worked with Vern Paxon on Internet traffic characterization, ... a work that was highly impactful and was integrated later into NS-2. She also gave her insightful feedback and input to PIM-SM and the multicast project that I worked on with Deborah Estrin and several other very esteemed researchers. There is so much more to her life that cannot fit here. I learned a lot from her publications, and from her personally when we had the opportunity to interact.

She is inspiring and will remain so. Her contributions will last long after her passing for sure!

You do indeed, but the the power distribution is far from even, as many a Chinese tycoon has discovered when they've come out on the wrong side of Beijing and found themselves in prison. There are always laws that can be selectively brought to bear when required.

My point is that the rich and powerful in HK are unlikely to do anything that irks Beijing. They don't need to be bribed into cooperating and will do as they are told regardless.

The risk to social stability of the status quo and the liklihood of it putting a significant portion of the population on the streets protesting seems a much greater risk.

If that's all they were saying I would STFU.

They are also telling everyone that, once they stop volunteering, Python 2 is dead. They insisted that the Tauthon project rename itself. It's one thing to say, "we won't support it", it's another thing to actively try to kill it, especially when they know people are still using it.

Keep your work going.. In java
if I have a wallet on my computer and send it to your wallet on your computer that would be anonymous.

it's when you connect the transaction to some bank (like, when you transfer from the wallet on your computer to Coinbase where they have your tax ID number, then withdraw to your real-world bank) that it can be so easily traced.

but if you just keep some btc in a wallet and do business out of that it's effectively cash. even if you bought bitcoins on Coinbase then transferred to your local wallet, once it leaves Coinbase the wallet ID itself doesn't have anything tying it to the laptop in your friend's basement in Brazil. from there who knows where it goes, I just bought pizza with it officer idk what the guy who sold me the pizza spent it on

a transaction ledger itself isn't inherently identifiable. otherwise we would know who just transferred $1B+ in this article and not have a bunch of comments wondering who it is lol

A couple different things on the roadmap. First, is additional services - AWS - ECS, RDS, Cognito, X-Ray, AppSync, and a few others. Second, is templating - Ansible, Terraform, Serverless. This will enable you to lint yml, deploy yml, and produce yml based on your current environment. Thirdly, more features for the current services, like putting items onto SQS, invoking Lambdas, viewing X-Ray traces, syncing code between LocalStack and AWS. Lastly, more services across other vendors, including Azure Blob Azure Functions, Firebase DB, Firestore, Firebase Functions, SendGrid, Twilio, Circle.CI, and a few more. You can view the templates section and put any feature requests onto our open source repo on Github - https://github.com/commandeer/open

wow. So if someone has looked, could you summarize the history of the sending address? (When did it have transactions, etc.)

Also, if someone wanted to turn this into fiat currency over a short but not instant period of time (such as 1 month for example), could they get close to 1,018,147,922 USD or even over 30 days would that diminish the price too much?

(I am thinking for example if an institutional investor early on bought 94,504 bitcoins and "just realized" they have it or something, but only really cared about dollars or their fund is over and they have to pay out the cash or whatever. For whatever reason, if they want cash now.)

Thanks for any expert opinions.
More to the people producing it than using it. But metallurgy and mining must have been awfully dangerous industries to be in back then regardless of the arsenic.

It is for making things easy to deploy ONTO the K8s cluster, not for making the cluster itself easy to deploy.

The key is only to use it for cases where the deployment of the containers without K8s is more difficult than the deployment of K8s.
NIST Requests Comments on Draft Privacy Framework
I may be misunderstanding some of the math, but it's important to keep in mind that decibels are logarithmic. Adding 6 dB doubles the amplitude, which is why adding another bit to a digital audio format adds 6 dB of dynamic range.

Since we can't hear any sound quieter than -8 dB SPL, then (I think) we can't hear a difference smaller than the 6 dB between -8 and -2 dB because that difference is quieter than the threshold of human perception. Similarly, the next perceptible change in amplitude would be to +1.5 dB (3x the threshold of perception), then 4 dB (4x), 6 dB (5x), 7.6 dB (6x), 8.9 dB (7x), and 10 dB (8x).

So, since 10 dB is 8 times the threshold of human perception, I think eight discrete values should be enough to represent everything we can hear up to that point.

Of course, I'm assuming we can only hear in discrete increments of the minimum threshold of perception, -- it makes sense to me that we would be unable to hear a difference in amplitude quieter than the threshold -- but this could very well be a mistaken assumption. (It's also worth pointing out that 10 dB is very, very quiet -- the article I linked says 20 dB is the standard noise floor for a soundproof room/recording studio.)

Another way of thinking about this is in terms of quantization error. Our 3-bit pin drop signal can be interpreted as the original analog signal plus a quantization error, and that error is clearly always quieter than the minimum threshold of perception.

Edit: This article [0] contains a table for the minimum detectable difference in sound level. It shows that, at a level of 5
dB SPL, the just-noticeable difference in amplitude is 2.5 dB at the frequency range of peak sensitivity -- which is pretty close to the numbers I found based on discrete multiples of the absolute threshold. So it looks like 3 bits is indeed sufficient for our pin drop (unless I'm mistaken somewhere).

I usually allocate up to 20 minutes for that problem during the interview, maybe extending this to 30 minutes if they are not doing too well.

My goal was that the co-workers solve it under 10 minutes -- that 3x length factor is trying to compensate for harsher interview conditions.

As for leetcodes -- I just looked at the site, and my interview question would be rated 'easy'. In fact, I'd say that most of the 'easy' questions there are too hard for the programming interview.
You understand that many transactions among influential people are not denominated in dollars, right?

Power is money is truer than money is power.

If anything, it seems to me like dollars are used in two ways. One, to 'make change', to balance out a transaction. Two, as a salve to ease stress about expectations of quid pro quo. Or maybe that's just two ways to say the same thing.

Money balances the books of a somewhat cynical gift economy.

If I ever find myself working at a FAANG, I do hope that instead of pursuing promotion, I'll stick to stuff that matters to me as an engineer.

While having a FAANG on my resume matters too, I'd much rather use that time to develop my technical skills than to improve my PR skills. In my experience (at a medium sized company with 200+ engineers) these two goals often conflict.

Flow has built in support for the Language Server Protocol. tsserver doesn't even support LSP. I agree ts has better IDE support but that's in part because they don't use LSP. odd they expect others to follow it when they don't.
You are mostly correct. Except only your Bitcoin client sees the checksum/address, the raw transaction has just the pubkey hash encoded in the address. So there is no checksum for other nodes to check. If you accidentally crafted a transaction with the wrong hash in the scriptPubKey, the network would happily accept it.

Did I miss something or does this project include popularity measures as features?

In the section on dataset features, they include "popularity" (calculated by Spotify) as well as Billboard chart stats like weeks, rank, and a custom-made "score". To me it's not clear whether these features were hidden from the train/test sets or whether the popularity features were only used in their "artist past performance" measures.

If they included these popularity features, it's like asking "can we predict whether a song is a hit just by looking at how popular it is?" If it is the case that they peeked into the future and observed ex-post song popularity, obtaining just 89% accuracy hints at how unpredictable song success truly is. Check out [1] for a famous study of song success which experimentally demonstrates the unpredictability of song success.

>scientists have no proof that hurricanes are hitting land more often

For the curious, data by decade is here (for the US):

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdec.shtml

This topic sometimes comes up because there are graphs that show the total number of hurricanes increasing, but the criticism is that shows bias because over time we began to observe more hurricanes that never made landfall.

[edit] and here is by-year, up to 2018.

https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/E23.html

By a quick check it seems these numbers do not match the landfall-by-decade counts above. But these are labeled "impacts/landfalls", so maybe there is some categorization difference? Is an "impact" different from a "landfall"?

[edit 2] here's one difference:

* - Indicates that the hurricane center did not make a U.S. landfall (or substantially weakened before making landfall), but did produce the indicated hurricane-force winds over land. In this case, central pressure is given for the time that the hurricane winds along the coast were the strongest.
New app permissions must be added judiciously, as it’s been proven time and time again that developers can and will abuse them in whatever ways they can, including training and desensitizing users if necessary.

Apple tends to open capabilities up once they’re confident they’ve been able to make them reasonably airtight against abuse. That seems like a very sensible policy to me, even if it means that certain features come at a glacial pace.
It also brings legislative challenges, such as 'prove that your money did not come from running an international assassination ring'.

18 and 19 year olds are in commas, dead right now, or will be soon. This is killing people far faster than cigarettes. I'm of the opinion the small fraction of people claiming they only smoked nicotine are probably lying for reasons mentioned before. They are young kids who don't want to disappoint their families with the fact that they are now dying at a very young age from what used to be a mostly harmless activity (marijuana smoking). There are also settlements and insurance including life insurance, AD & D to consider as well.

Juul Lab's and all the vaping shops need to be put out of business for claiming this is a harmless way of smoking. Kids took that and ran with it as they vaporize God knows what to get high in a stealthy and supposedly, more healthy way.

Even in a 200 person company there are often product inconsistencies. Think about how you'd build this thing in a minimal way. You wouldn't "integrate with the context-aware Translate or Search API", you'd "just build a blacklist and improve it if necessary". It's not at all unbelievable.
The basis of this post isn't too sound:

* It's not clear what IPFS is getting him, but it's certainly not performance. Any performance improvements are coming from using the Cloudflare caching proxy, which is basically just using Cloudflare as a CDN. You can get that with a normal website behind Cloudflare with a lot less hassle.

It's fine to check out the implementation details for interest's sake, but let's just be clear that it all could have been done with a $5 VPS.
