Donuts, Inc, was bidding for .Web in 2016, and lost to Nu Dot. Nu Dot then sold the name to Verizon. Somehow this was unfair and they decide to sue them. ( What ? )

Had Donut got .Web, they would have floated the company and make a return of Investment. Since they lost, they figure out their next step / solution was .ORG. And the timeline in 2017 and 2018 seems to confirm that.
Just from the wiki on HQ2:

>The subsidies offered to Amazon in New York include performance-based direct incentives of $1.525 billion based on whether the company created 25,000 jobs. This included a refundable tax credit through the state's Excelsior Program of up to $1.2 billion, calculated as a percentage of the salaries Amazon expects to pay employees over the following 10 years. Additionally, the Empire State Development Corporation would give Amazon a cash grant of $325 million based on the occupancy rates of HQ2 buildings over in the following 10 years.[47][73] Under an agreement with New York City's government, half of the property taxes for the city's HQ2 campus would be waived, and the exempt amount would go to the city's PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) fund to pay for infrastructure improvements in New York City.[74][75] Both states proposed that Amazon be given access to a helipad, and the New York state government also promised to upgrade infrastructure in conjunction with HQ2's construction there.[73]

Seems completely reasonable to me.

Then, some local politicians made public statements that showed that they either did not understand how the incentives would work or that they were willing to lie to get Amazon to leave.

Ex:

>New York governor Andrew Cuomo blamed Democrats in the New York State Senate for the cancellation, and New York City mayor de Blasio said that Amazon "threw away that opportunity," by making the announcement.[84][85] In response, Ocasio-Cortez stated: "If we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest $3 billion in our district ourselves if we want to. We could hire more teachers, we can fix our subways, we can put a lot of people to work for that money if we wanted to."[86][87][88] Mayor de Blasio, among others, criticized her, and those who had made similar remarks, for suggesting the money, mostly in the form of tax credits, was now free to be spent elsewhere.
That's very cool. To the best of my knowledge the only purpose of learning how to complete the square in high school math is to be able to understand the derivation of the quadratic formula, so if we can use this alternative proof then students don't need to know "completing the square" anymore. Good riddance!

The only other application of "completing the square" I can think of is the trig substitution in calculus, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square#Integrat... or worked example here https://www.khanacademy.org/math/ap-calculus-ab/ab-integrati...

In sum, completing the square is definitely a cool trick (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Completing_the_square.gif ), but maybe we can skip it... or present it as extra/optional material? I'm going to think about dropping it from my books. It will save 5+ pages of suffering for readers, which is a clear win.
Thing is, NYC is made up of grids. Effective bus service can do a better job of last-mile than it can in London.

Dunno if that's true, but the theory works out.

Toronto is finally considering making more and more roads transit-only instead of mixing streetcars and buses with general traffic. If London did/does that, it wouldn't/doesn't improve speeds as much.

Though I like how London runs different lines/routes into stations so you can get to your destination without transferring by getting on the right train in the first place.
I'm suggesting that both are possible at the same time.
By buying BAT I support people getting paid for watching ads.
Also and open door for ad-fraud. Bat browser doesn't know if a real user watches the ads. Do we really need more click farms and all that crap?

The solution to all this is so obvious; the third party must be removed from the equation.

Local "fee" (ad monetized) prints are horrible.
Never used Radio so I can't say anything about that. TV however has become more and more ad cluttered and low quality over the last decades to the point where I completely stopped watching any TV several years ago.

Ads may fit in newspapers and in TV programs. But when newspapers and TV programs are created for the sole purpose to serve ads it just results in crap. Ads don't incentive good content. They incentive click-bait titles, fake news and an anything that maximizes the time an end user waists.

> The SECOND reason is so that the attacker can't now login as the user and impersonate them.

Impersonate them on a service that has a compromised database? Maybe. I think in this particular case, users don't even really lose anything by having someone else access their account. You could argue that the main reason for having any password in this particular case is so that attackers don't get free access to paid course material.

As usual with security, you need to make tradeoffs. They decided that users shouldn't have to deal with having to reset passwords (which is something I personally find quite annoying), and the tradeoff for that is not allowing people to specify their own password.

As a bonus, this means it's impossible for the information stored in this database to be used to access another service (since a hashed shared password is still more useful than a non-shared password).

> Also, with this setup it looks like it's impossible for the user to ever change the password, so one accident with that password and it's time to get a new account.

That does indeed seem to be the case, so another improvement would be allowing users to generate a new password.

If we're looking for more realistic attacks, I can see that their site is vulnerable to CSRF logins.
I think this is actually why it's so hard. I can experience AR today without buying an expensive and clunky piece of hardware.

If I couldn't get a demo, it's a cool enough concept that I might be tempted and they would get revenue and also the refinement that mass usage can help fuel.
Just because "locker room talk" viz two men trading insults isn't a good look, it's a bit much to involve to courts and suggest that you've been hurt to the tune of nearly $200M... especially when you started it.

The problem is that the browser does not let me enter a shell command where a filename is expected (Heirloom-mailx does allow it, and is something I often use when dealing with attachments).
Never cmd/main.go, always cmd/binaryname/main.go.
This is my absolute concern with Brave as well and why I do not trust this browser and its advertising model in the slightest.

What do you mean by modern humans?

It is well-known that indigenous people have been using wild fire as a land management technique on the Australian continent for tens of thousands of years.

Also, many of these tree species have very specific evolutionary adaptations due to regular bush-fires.

This is not something that occurs on human timescales.

I'm not sure that's true. If you search the same query on both Bing and DDG, you'll see pretty different results.

I'm glad you're not a judge. It would be awful for a judge to express such emotion and absolutism in the dismissal of even the possibility of harm caused by one of the most famous people on Earth very publicly calling a person a pedophile.
I don't think so. If he is genuinely terrified of something that is that unlikely to kill or seriously harm his child, it would be in his interest to see a therapist about that. I am guessing that his statement was actually just needlessly hyperbolic, in which case I don't see anything wrong with a bit of antagonism.
A more sensical analogy in paper ballots might be replacing a ballot. E.g. a counter scoops up some ballots into one sleeve and dumps some from the other while shuffling them around.

In a chad-based system though, the vote might actually change as the ballot was being physically handled.
I wasn't even longing for the libraries, I think just the languages could lure over some Mac programmers to Elementary.
I wasn't basing anything on personal assertions. I guess we were arguing past each other.
I love the idea of taking sabbatical. If I were to take time for one, I think the structure would look more like what you're suggesting here. Expanding network of people to learn from and contributing to OSS.

As introverted as I am, I have learned in recent years how much easier and faster it can be to learn from other people than from textbooks alone.
"If you can’t write the .c files to compile, you can’t compile them." So it generates C, why not just compile the C into an executable?
Honestly, I think this is going in the wrong direction for OP's use-case. He definitely should go in the serverless direction.

If he learns any sort of dev-ops infra management he's just wasting his time.
>it is really hard to make a leap in improvement in technical skills.

It is not supposed to happen that way. Only in dreams or under the right stellar constellation matching optimal circumstances. In other words: when being lucky.

Mastering knowledge is a long process. Knowing a technique is one thing, applying properly in practice on a daily basis in combination with other aspects is the next, knowing when not to use it or in what combination or in place of something else in a given messy situation having specific set of resources and time limits is the ultimate one. But that ultimate one is unique and we will find no recipe for that, it is our task to come up with it.

Guides, wisdom, advises, tips and tricks coming from books and others are inherently limited to the scenario where those led to success, they have their limits of applicability not always captured properly and explicitly - actually very seldomly done so - and may not be relevant anymore as the world evolves. We have to try to apply it ourselves, apply, check, repeat, improve. This is lengthy an can only be done in practice in real (typically messy) situations.

I did some 'soul searching' before like the author of the article, had ideas and plans what to complete and master, but those had weak results due to two facts: - we never make things alone, each achievement is carried out as a team effort, - to reach a practically suitable level of knowledge it must be acquired in practical situations, hypothetical scenarios in trainings, be it given or self created, are only good for the very first steps of the learning process, to be a beginner, we need actual paid tasks to master how to make something that we can be paid for (except trivial tasks).

The soul searching is good still, distance ourselves from the everyday hamster wheel to see the perspective. Easier to navigate if we have a birds eye view than being in the dirt all the time. Still, we will get down to carry out things in the dirt eventually.
My default is to use environment-based configuration (12f) while running in a scratch-or-at-largest-alpine-base image. This precludes a lot of things like shell-scripted startup, but then again, why are we running go if not to generate one binary as the entry point?
Reading so many criticisms about the quality and depth of knowledge acquired through Duolingo (deserved, by the way)... is there an alternative app?

> Even with CanvasBlocker the "check your fingerprint" sites still show a unique fingerprint (but canvasblocker has a ton of really obscure options that I don't understand)

It always be unique, because it's randomly generated. But every visit will have a completely different unique value, which means that the fingerprint from the canvas is a useless value.
Exteme views are always easier to hold. But power to them if they are satisfied with their life the way it is.

IIRC, Korean women already wait until their late 20's before considering dating?

From a societal perspective, no good comes out of a large increase in single men that remain single long term. China is already having problems as a result of their "one child" policy resulting in many parents aborting female babies.

I think their problem has a lot to do with what their society expects marriage and motherhood to be. To some it is a prison, to others, it gives them a rich and fulfilling life. I think it would benefit everyone to try and change this instead if abstaining entirely from these social roles. As they say "We live in a society"

Hmm, thanks for the response.

Obviously, this is a complex topic, but I don't find the points you bring sufficient to imply anything about the mind being non-physical -- let alone what that would even mean, if it could be precisely defined in a scientific way.
Is there a word for when sociopaths use people's feelings of empathy against them?

I find myself seeing this pattern everywhere but I'm not sure if I've got an appropriate word to describe it.

Like a climate change denier pretending they're worried about birds being killed by wind turbines. They know that we know they don't care, but they say it anyway, because they know that we can't help but care about that kind of thing.

A Complex Hierarchy of Avoidance Behaviors in a Single-Cell Eukaryote
Generally speaking, I think it's a Really Bad Idea if ultra-wealthy people can literally say anything they want without consequence and use their money/fame etc to terrorize people and destroy their reputation.
Good point. We should use more images. I’ll think about where we can add some for clarity! Now that we’ve done a bunch of talks at reinvent in these topics, we should have some that we can incorporate easily.
A nice article with a great sense of when to hand-wave (and to acknowledge that hand-waviness)...

...and a good argument as to why paper ballots are still the best known voting system. Every other proposed solution is too complex.
Also, it's totally natural to be confused and doubtful when you start a new job. You're learning a totally new set of social norms, business jargon and codebases. It usually takes me a month or two to learn the new TLAs, much less the names of people.
Certainly CA shares blame for not managing their contracts better (whether due to incompetence or malice).

But it's unethical behavior to be a contractor who intentionally under-bids with the plan to later (repeatedly) charge exorbitant amounts for modifications and fixes.

The government isn't doing its due diligence, but I take a dim view of people who exploit and waste taxpayers' money.
I think it's too hopeful to learn the ins and outs of a language through an app alone. As you mentioned, Duolingo is a tool and very rarely does one tool fit all use cases.

I see Duolingo as more of an interactive digital textbook, but as always there is a gap between completing exercises and applying your knowledge to the real world.
Okay, so now it's a brute which requires, at most, a couple hundred hashes (or less for a typical user's character set). Even for a very expensive algorithm, this is an extremely short operation.

More importantly, he had no actual knowledge that the guy _was_ a child rapist
There are a lot more people that have the idea of learning a language than there are people that actually go through with learning a language.
Promises don't swallow errors, they pass it up to whatever next promise gets chained or any .catch() handlers registered. Browsers have an event to listen to for unhandled promise rejections at the global level for all those places you fired off a promise but forgot to do anything with it. (All the major browsers now show error messages and stack traces in the dev console as a default action for all unhandled promise rejections. They don't stop page execution as browsers decided against that back in the early IE/Netscape era to be more graceful in a complex event-based world. Node also spits out unhandled promise rejections to the console and hard quits a process now.)

But the juicy benefit to Promises is the (monad-based) transformation to async/await notation. Async/await notation gives you back the try { } catch { } synchronous-looking error catching that you are wishing for, all it takes is a couple new magic keywords and your code looks very similar to what it would in a magic synchronous world without promises. (Most current browsers and current versions of Node even directly support async/await today [0] directly out of the box, no need for a compiler/transpiler tool to do the transformation for you.)

Obviously this equivalence is not something people agree on.

It's a dynamic language. Typical JIT compilation involves generating specialized versions over specific types. You need run time profiling to know what to generate.
Some Chipotle locations have a separate line for take out orders, but not all.
hmm I think the idea of wiki-anything is that you can contribute to improve the content, when you have specific knowledge.
So: Consciousness = Complexity + X

X = what?

And how can we be sure that, whatever the X is, that the United States does not have it?
At my Chipotle, they do. It may vary based on location. People have disagreed with me, but I still believe it's poor customer service to ignore your customers.
There are lots of other general language learning apps, but they’re all about the same as Duolingo. However, more specific apps can be a very useful tool. Specifically, using a spaced repetition software is the best way to memorize vocabulary. I personally use Mnemosyne, which is open source, but there’s also Anki, Memrise, and a number of others.
Defamation is the act of harming somebody's reputation. All that needs to be proven is that there was one more person who thought he was a pedo as a result of Musk's statements.

Most of it is just being in the unknown, it’s incredibly frustrating to just having to sit there and wait not knowing what’s going on. Obviously I can continue to do work, but the frustration is still there.

Like I said, for them it’s natural, they know what’s going on, if they don’t communicate that, I don’t know.
What they are referring to more than likely is not the technology, but the business case. AR has more compelling / lucrative use cases than VR. While everyone is waiting for the killer Consumer VR app, Enterprise AR is blowing up.
Because rails is extremely eager to redefine classes and monkey patch instances by design. This is hostile to almost all JIT models. V8 spends a very large amount of engineering time optimizing specific cases of handling the common cases of this, but it’s non trivial.

One place to start might be the companies mentioned on the Lithium Ion Battery page on Wikipedia. A lot of the same major players show up again and again in these sorts of factory deals and discussions, such as: LG Chem (mentioned here; also a major partner with some of the German automakers on the European continent), Panasonic (partner in Tesla's Gigafactory), Sony (a traditional player in battery chem and essentially the originator of commercialized Lithium Ion tech in the first place), Toshiba (another traditional player).

So turn off ads. The whole point of a market is that people who don't think whatever you're doing is worth the price you're getting don't have to do it, while those who think that it is worth it get the rewards. By turning off ads you're raising the market price of BAT ever so slightly so that those of us who don't mind the ads get paid more for it.
It's true that best value can be gamed, but any system can be gamed.

When buyers can define some evaluation criteria like reviewing the bidder's past performance (delivery on-time vs late, cost overruns) in addition to current bid, they can better assess how smoothly this project will go, and past performance is difficult to game without lying, i.e. submitting a fraudulent bid package.

The procurement field has a number of membership organizations and certifications and these people are largely good and ethical workers who take pride in doing good for their employers. Not all, but the good ones far outnumber the lazy, incompetent, and corrupt. (I'm not one, but worked adjacent to the field for a while, and I think buyers often don't get a fair shake, because the corruption can be shocking when it's visible.)
