If you wear anything more than a t-shirt nobody would even suspect that you have a sixpack. Unless you're actually big, even a basic button-down shirt hides all your gains. How many and how often do other people see you shirtless?

I've been lean 165lbs / 5'10" (75kg, 178cm) since 15 till like 21. I've had a sixpack, but nobody knew about it because I don't usually go to the high school and university shirtless. When I got to 187lbs (85kg) I actually started to look like I lift even when dressed. At 200-210lbs (90-95kg) I actually look strong even in sweater. At my height to get the grotesque "bodybuilding big" I'd have to weigh ~120kg (260lbs).

Getting big has had a dramatic positive effect on my attractiveness.
Correct, but he had no choice about that in the vinyl/audio cd era. And possibly didn't even realize it.

Still, he didn't give all his 1k to the same artist. Mainly because most artist launch at most 1 new album per year?

In Poland most banks I use (Citibank, Santander, Millenium and others) require confirming logging into account via SMS at least once in two weeks. Some require confirmation via mobile app. (That wasn't obligatory before)

Its rather that banks have phased out other methods like tokens as too expensive and troublesome.

This is a completely free app too. You dont need to use virtual currency to write or get messages. Coins are used to purchase gems. Those gems provide you climbing up in search results, privacy, boosting yourself, to change location etc.
You can collect coins by claiming your daily reward, watching videos or purchasing them from store.
Concerning the Sun/networked remark: There was a later networked HyperCard-influenced system in the SunOS4 world -- HyperNeWS (calling Don Hopkins!). I can't remember how structurally similar it was to HyperCard, to the extent I knew HyperCard, but probably not very.

The WWW before it had escaped from CERN, and you weren't on a NeXT system, looked terribly primitive when you already had networked hypermedia like NeWS, particularly when you didn't understand the significance of the WWW protocol and addressing.
I can almost guarantee you're wrong about the environmental benefits, depending on what diapers you use, where you live and how you wash. Using LCA, it's usually an energy factor of 4x worse for cloth, 10x worse for water and air emissions, and 6x worse for water use. And most of that is from the washing, so prolonged use doesn't make it better.

It's literally one if the textbook examples taught in sustainability Engineering to get students to stop "feeling" about the better option and start thinking & documenting.

First Google result for "diaper LCA" :

https://www.appropedia.org/Cloth_versus_disposable_diapers

That said, I have no problem with people picking what works for them. But environmental justification and smugness... especially when it's downright false.

Own up to your preference and accept the fact that it's environmentally worse.
Took me a moment. Interesting! So you're saying: Divide the pyramid into very thin slices, parallel to the base (horizontal). Above each slice, insert a duplicate of that slice. If using infinitely small slices, you have effectively doubled the height of the pyramid, and obviously you have doubled its volume.

Yes, that makes sense, and I think it's very clever! Thank you.
To have 10x what's necessary, you need to be able to survive on 1% returns (I'm trying to be generous there). So if you can live on $30,000, you need to have "only" $3MM invested.

You should also not be investing more than 25% of your assets into a single asset class, so you need to have $6-12MM of assets (range depending on considerations) in the first place.

I think having even $3MM is a reasonably called 'rich', but others may disagree.
Which alpha? The 21264 was introduced in 1996. It was a 4-issue out of order processor that could have 80 instructions in flight. It had 2 LSUs and could clock up to 500 MHz initially.

The Pentium Pro, released in late 1995, was a 3-way design clocking up to 200 MHz. It was surprisingly competitive. It had all the modern requirements: out of order execution, out of order memory pipeline, on board L1 and L2 caches. It just had less resources in each dimension. Intel caught up to 500 MHz in 1999, with the PIII. That was still a 3-day design. Intel’s first four way design was the Core 2 in 2006. That could hold 96 instructions in flight. Intel didn’t release a CPU with two load store units until 2011 (Sandy Bridge could do two loads per cycle) or possibly 2019 (Sunny Cove was the first that could do two stores per cycle).

Obviously, Intel caught up based on a combination of features long before then. I’d guess around early 2000s, when clock speed hit 1 GHz+. Clock for clock, the Pentium Pro wasn’t actually that much slower than Alpha on integer code. It took much longer for intel to be competitive on floating point code.

(By the way, it blows my mind that we went from 200 MHz to 1 GHz in about 4 years. Meanwhile, it’s been 15 years since my first 2 GHz+ MacBook, and a new MacBook still has a base clock around that range. Maybe it’ll turbo boost to 4 GHz for 10 seconds before it exceeds its thermal envelope.)

Becoming famous requires a lot of good luck and not just hard work. You have to be the right person at the right time kind of thing. I feel extreme good luck invites bad luck because of the negative energy surrounding the famous person. This has very interesting side affects on how famous people look at risk and make their decisions. But thinking of famous personalities like Gandhi, MLK, Kobe, MJ, Bruce Lee, I wonder what would have happened if they were not famous. Would their destinies be any different?

I wish Journalism could spring back to being more professional where they were a) not so damn partisan and b) actually investigating and not just tossing out wild conspiracy theories as a form of propaganda.

The Atlantic holds zero credibility anymore. It was always a partisan rag, but sometimes had interesting articles. Now, like all "news" it is simply trash.

I laugh at how the New Yorker always injects anti-conservative messaging in its articles because they know their readership desires confirmation bias. It's sick, though. I don't think even Goebbels could have imagined how far this nonsense could be taken and be successful.
>>Collaboration is key. Across the world, we’ve been driving conversations with more than 50 global experts with technical, policy, media, legal, civic and academic backgrounds to inform our policy development and improve the science of detecting manipulated media.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, of course collaboration is important. On the other Fb has near unlimited resources yet feels like they can shift the burden to other entities who in no way benefit from the problems their hugely profitable business creates.
As a software developer, are you sure that what you're developing doesn't have third-order effects that enable things like this article points out?

SMS is not PSD2 compliant. https://www.zdnet.com/article/german-banks-are-moving-away-f...
But also, I think you have that situation understood the other way around.

SMS was chosen because everyone has it already. So it's not a matter of being forced to have it, it's a matter of "all other alternatives are less widespread."

I think there are actually more people globally with access to mobile phones than people who have access to basic sanitation, i.e. flushing toilets.

I'm sure that many or most of those organizations have alternative, non-electronic means of interaction - such as phone, paper (writing checks), or in-person. That is the alternative to using a SIM card.
Since the early 2000's, banks in Europe gave physical OTP devices. While somewhat inconvenient if you don't have it with you, I still liked it better than alternatives that are popping up lately:

SMS based authentication, an app that generates a code from a QR-like pattern displayed on your computer screen (neat but they didn't think of the case where the screen displaying the QR pattern would be the phone itself, or the fact that you're letting their app see what else is on your computer screen) and paper cards with a finite amount of numbers on them.

In fact I'd prefer TOTP as supported by authenticator as a better phone based alternative since it's standard and you can control if and how you want to securely back up the codes rather than have a plethora of different systems.
Since the inevitable conclusion is impossibility of being anonymous, I think we should push to ensure full transparency for all. Otherwise, it ends badly for those not in power.
If it's for privacy, wouldn't a burner phone make more sense?

Otherwise leaching off everyone around you to save a bit of money... seems like it would get old pretty quickly
Loaded because it was clearly setting the scene for you to engage in reductio ad absurdum, which you promptly did.

The contractual clause in your example would be unenforceable so your point is moot.

If you want to debate the matter maturely then I’m all ears, but if you just want to shoe horn my words to make ridiculous non-points then I see little point continuing.
Each company faces different constraints, and in particular there can be downsides going to Europe that don't exist for Canada, e.g., language, timezone, regulations, travel costs, culture.) A sandwich in Ohio is reasonably called "cheap" when I've been living in NYC, and I don't feel the need to say "but it would be really cheap in rural India".

DEC was on the forefront of so many technologies and did set so many standards (first Unix machine, vt100, first viable 64-bit processor, first viable search engine, much more even before that).

It is sad to see that this company and its products were brought down by pure political maneuvers and hostile takeovers instead of competition or merit.

Fortran defaults to no-alias, C and C++ default to may-alias. The annotations exist, but you have to apply them all over the place to get the benefit. It’s doable, but the Fortran model is less error-prone for many users.

I’m very curious about spiritual confirmations of truth. What was your spiritual witness of the Book of Mormon like? How do you know that the spiritual experience came from an external source and was not just generated by your brain?

[Edit: Asking because I wonder often about the provenance my own spiritual experiences. I’m currently leaning toward “generated by the brain,” but I would love to be wrong about that.]
Also numerical codes can be trickier to write than you think. Rounding errors and other treacheries of the floating point approximation to the 'real' numbers can eat you alive.

If you want to do common numeric operations they might be a FORTRAN code that is battle tested and performance tuned and it usually not hard to call from C, Java, Python or some other language.

That depends on your personality and the job. Although, as I've noticed, seeking money as the number one goal tends to lead to jobs which cause more stress and a lower quality of life. For example, I could make more money at top tech company but then I'd have bureaucracy and a vacation policy (I took 6 weeks last year) to deal with.
Nobody says "the JPL." It's just "JPL".
Oh; you certainly have to be rich to pull this off. But the context was “a few millions in an index fund,” which is what your analysis came up with.

Also, if you’re going to posit funds in other asset classes, you should also include the worst-case returns of those funds in the analysis.
Even though I know what you mean - stress can be caused for many things that are not money though. Love (or lack thereof), loneliness, illness,..

But yeah, living without money-related stress is how I'd define it. That doesn't even have to be a lot of money :)

Quite a few commenters on this forum live in parts of the world where that is not the case. It's certainly not the case for the majority of the world's population.
The comment you reply to does not say "all churches". It is evident, however, that several large churches do not believe in Christ. The ruthless bureaucratic and greedy Catholic church may serve as an example:

https://www.smh.com.au/national/with-30b-in-wealth-why-is-th...

"John Ellis is no longer a practising Catholic."

"I realised there is nothing special or different about the church ... They act like any other ruthless wealthy organisation," says Ellis. "The more money they’ve got, the more ruthless they will be with it."
It's not GNU make that got fixed. It's the pipe system call that Linus optimized. Make uses pipe as a synchronization mechanism. So all programs that use pipe this will benefit.
Much of the estimated wealth is real estate (churches, schools, universities, hospitals) and artwork that should not be sold as it is being used for charitable or religious purposes or exhibited to the public. It’s hard to estimate since the “church” is composed of so many organizations.

There was also a lot of excess wealth accumulated during the Middle Ages but I believe much of it was seized by governments over the last 500 years, varying from countries like France that even seized ownership of the church buildings to various dissolutions of religious orders and monasteries in other countries.
The only thing I'd miss from a larger company is the travel budget. The 'devil may care' attitude to drop a couple grand on a short window flight... compared to travel with the small company where that meeting could break the company. Double goes for the in-house travel agent who sorted everything while in route - Jane... you were missed.

Fortran’s numerics model is actually somewhat weaker than C’s; if precise rounding behavior is your main concern C (while still not ideal) is a better option.
FWIW I don’t believe the Catholic Church teaches a “10% of their salary” tithe at all. Certainly not in the way some other churches do.

The church in the USA receives funds from passing the plate, but European Catholic Churches historically receive their money from a voluntary church tax levied by the civil government, which is also not 10%.

Most parishes I’ve been to in the USA publish their weekly offering and from those numbers it’s pretty clear people are not putting in 10% of their salary. Maybe 1%?
I use Linux as my main box, and Wine doesn’t really cut it. I don’t like having to mess with winetricks to get programs to work, and even then, some (like Visual Studio) still don’t work.

If I could just run an exe and Wine would detect what winetricks I need and install them then, that’d be great. (No, I can’t just install them all as I like to use different prefixes for each program)
I may seem unhelpful here, but I'm also taking this from the perspective of a potential customer.

If you read Purism's marketing on their website, read the blog posts, and the verbiage on the store page, and then you run out and buy this phone, you'll be under the impression that you're getting something much more close to functional than it actually is.

Essentially, this product should be labeled as an early development kit. But the marketing on the website is even trying to sell this to parents, who should absolutely not buy this phone for their children (because it's not done and it'll be dead anytime you try to call them because the power management is broken).

Yes but situation before September was that I could use my account without SIM card. Now access to my account requires having a SIM card and a phone.

Now imagine taking all my six SIM cards on vacation to Thailand just because you may be in need to urgently use one of my multiple bank or brokerage accounts ;-)
The article doesn't mention the PinePhone, which I consider pretty shoddy journalism.

The PinePhone is a competing project with slightly lower specs, similarly good FOSS purity, that is slimmer, ships today and costs 1/5 of the price.

They clearly market it as being for tinkerers at this point and all the software support Pine64 is working on is getting the kernel running, leaving the rest up to the 5 (!) involved distribution communities.
What the parent comment is referring to is a pipe handling bug in early versions of GNU make that prevented kernel optimizations from happening earlier on.
The Alpha was running both Unix (Digital UNIX aka OSF/1 AXP aka Tru64 UNIX) and Windows up until 2000 RC1. Even Linux was officially supported in the last years.
You mean not using `-j` exposes bugs? Doubtful. If you are missing a dependency edge in your build graph then there are no guarantees that it will cause an issue with or without `-j`.

The only way to properly solve missing dependencies is to hide targets unless they are explicitly depended on. The only systems I know that do that are Nix and Bazel (and its clones).

This isn't so. Yes you can use banking app but this might be even worse for privacy. It depends a lot on implementation details of the app. For example Santander app won't even start without permission to manage you phone on Android.
And some banks (ING, bunq, but also others) don’t require anything else than just the mobile app, using either a pincode or biometric validation through your mobile OS. That’s way more practical, because you don’t need to have a reader in your pocket in order to do payments.
