Cryto-mining with excess energy is only effective when you have excess computing power too. Maybe a gamer with a GPU could get the opportunity to use all the excess resources for a little bit of profit, but the payoff rate for buying a GPU needs 24/7 mining to even make a profit over a year.

Is there a lockout period for these large VC investors when they do an IPO?

Or do they get to dump as much of the stock as possible in these IPOs? And if so, I think there needs to be a big compilation of large shareholders of these IPOs and how much money they are making off the IPO. We might see some interesting patterns.

For example, if certain VCs sell their shares at the very beginning, is that a sure signal that everything is going to fall apart soon?
Does anyone know where this hotel existed? The article says it is where the "Piedmont" hotel currently stands, but there is no Piedmont hotel in Austin.

Yep, parts of Australia just approved a euthanasia bill and its full of so many restrictions there is next to no way it can be abused. I think the tl;dr is you have to have a terminal illness that will kill you in 6 months and which is causing you pain and you have to consent to it.

It's so hard spread the knowledge you need to link to versioned libraries. THREE.JS has a policy of basically ignoring backward compatibility with every new version prioritizing forward momentum yet this library tells you to just download the latest version which will likely break.

The library currently doesn't work if you actually follow the docs because it's not compatible with the current version of three.js

I think another leap can be achieved with communication between vehicles. Once there are many more self-driving cars on the road, they can feed info to each other as needed. A car experiencing black ice can pass that info to the cars around it. Cars approaching an intersection can adjust their speed so that they all pass through without stopping, etc. But, because there are several manufacturers, this will be hampered without an open standard, and it doesn't solve the randomness of the world that will still be experienced.

if i were you i would look to PCA analysis and cluster analysis. PCA can help find what are the key (reduced) set of drivers/dimensions that provide you with the ability to explain the majority of your variability. Cluster analysis could help you group the data you have in meaninful reduced set of groups and then you can measure dimensions within clusters and between clusters to help you come up with a strong score system. Again assuming you have a relative high dimensional problem with many data

Looks like you’re finding HyperFiddle[0].

> Hyperfiddle lets you make lightweight database applications out of just database queries.

It’s Clojure based, uses the EDN notation, and doesn’t require writing a lot of code. It basically translates the Datomic database[1] queries into tables (which can be exported to react components and styled appropriately).

I think you're missing the point of spacex's business plan. First, what you're saying is somewhat common in the USA, but they have far too much competition in the USA for that to be profitable.

Main issue with CA wasn’t that it got data of users of an app - people have explicitly gave consent for it. They scraped data of your friends, that shared this data with you, and made it a big deal. Users explicitly granted access to data, but their friends didn’t. If you have an open API between networks, how is that different?

User A uses app X and shares data with user B. User B uses app Y. App Y is scraping data. They now have data of both user B (which expressed consent) and user A (which didn’t). It’s exactly like Cambridge Analitica.
At a glance the underlying source list seems quite thorough and well research, it's available here (below) and every company points to a document that proves it. It's regularly updated.

If we're nitpicking, endorphins act on opioid receptors of GABAergic neurons, inhibiting the release of GABA, which in turn disinhibits the release of dopamine in reward pathways.

That dopamine release is what is directly responsible for pleasure and euphoria associated with endorphin release.

They're tiny. Even the adults are quite small. The babies are specks. The younger ones are clear unless they've recently fed, so nearly invisible when they aren't bright red from ingesting blood.

They have a real talent for going unnoticed, even when there are dozens or hundreds of them. People often discover an infestation due to bites or poop smears, not from seeing a live bug at any time.

They mostly come out at night and I think they can hibernate for long periods, like weeks or months. They are quite hard to get rid of once they get into something like a mattress.

I don't think this is correct. The legislation as drafted didn't seem to claim extra-territoriality and courts will basically never interpret legislation as being extra-territorial without an explicit clause.

There's also the point that if you are overseas and refuse to comply with a request by ASIO or whathaveyou, they can't legally arrest you outside of Australia. In theory they'd need to ask for your extradition, but that requires equivalent laws to be in operation in the country you're extraditing from. But you'd be at risk of arrest upon returning to Australia.

That doesn't stop it from being a terrible law. And it also doesn't stop me from not being a lawyer who isn't giving legal advice.
True. Also I think the term dapp is overplayed. Like we should just be making regular applications that compete with regular applications that happen to be backed by cool new technology. As soon as you say dapp it's like oh yeah because it's on Ethereum right ok cool i'll take a sticker.
Because they are two entirely different things. It is 100% complete and total bullshit to say that a corporation who has some, often extremely tenuous, relationship with ALEC "profits from prison labor". There's plenty of real bad stuff going on that needs revealing without resorting to lying.

I'm not an expert on the system in Australia but how I think it works from what I have heard is there isn't a cut off point where if you make x you are eligible and if you make x+1 you aren't. Instead its a slope where if you make x+1 you lose a certain % of the payments until you eventually make enough to lose them all. But at all times its still better to take the job.
Daniel Stenberg: The command line options we deserve
The purpose of universal credit was not to solve any particular problem - it was to give conservative politicians something to say when their voters demanded something must be done [about people on benefits].

The world makes a lot more sense when you realise that laws and regulations are primarily conceived and constructed to keep incumbents in power. Maybe we should vote in our representatives for life then they'd actually have to focus on making things better.
You don't lose the ability to have multiple or tiered settings files - there's nothing preventing you from using as many SQLite database files as you want.

The other points are valid, but not everything can be shoehorned into JSON or XML. Sometimes the data size is too large for the read-everything-into-memory approach. Sometimes you need to deal with a lot of binary blobs. And so on.

There aren’t laws with that explicit purpose, but it does seem to occur. I don’t actively seek out and follow this topic, but I remember a few news stories where I shook my head:

- https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-45117163 29 chooses physician assisted suicide because she was terminally mentally ill
- https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/31/world/europe/doctors-belg... a case where doctors were acquitted, but charged by a family member, of eeuthenasia a 40 year old who was depressed and autistic. Other family members supported the death.
Also has another story of “ In the Netherlands, a doctor was acquitted in September after having been accused of failing to secure proper consent from a 74-year-old patient who suffered from Alzheimer’s and had been administered euthanasia by the doctor.”

I think this is an issue where the risk of abuse or misuse is very great. The accusation in the above case is that doctors did not attempt to treat the depression and instead allowed the patient to choose death. At 40.

Depression and Suicide is serious. I don’t want to go down a path where there’s some suicide checklist that includes “ok then, off you go” rather than trying to treat depression and help the patient.

I don’t think it’s FUD to discuss this and think about it with others. It’s important and not clear cut.
I really prefer Catmull-Rom splines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_Catmull–Rom_spline). They’re not as attractive as Bézier curves, but the curve passes through the control points, which makes them a ton easier to draw.

Why not rotate your cookies more frequently on sites that insist on them, or when temporarily necessary? Personally I’ve adopted the approach where I trust a variety (3, in fact) of content blockers to also block major tracking networks. I’m less worried about the rest. I suspect that eventually websites will evolve to doing more third-party tracking via first-party integration on the backend or cname, but I’m only, hmm, passively paranoid about this sort of thing. I figure most uses of tracking by first-party is for statistics and metrics to improve that first-party site or service. I do wish selling traffic metrics was against the law, but back in the day magazines routinely sold customer lists, as do pizza places, so it would take a lot of social pressure to change this in most of the world...

You can still bungle history with badly authored commits, though. This is exactly why I like Git - no need to think about how messy the history is while working on something, I can create lots of small commits tweaking things as I go, and then clean it all up into larger commits representing logical groups of changes, with proper description etc.
Anyone who is committed to serious enquiry and good-faith discussion understands that there is a very large class of things that might seem bad at first glance, but turn out not to be so bad, or indeed quite good, when compared against the available alternatives.

This class of things includes pretty much anything that's really important in the world - including economic systems, government policies, human behaviours, and, yes, companies, including ones that offer deferred payment for education that can lead to higher incomes and better standards of living for the customer.

You're clearly intelligent enough to know this but are poisoning the debate by making a comparison with something that is horrible but not at all comparable.
Not "more data than any of the others" - just a specific kind of access that usually comes with much closer intelligence relationships (e.g. Five Eyes), rather than the more wary relationship the Israeli and US intelligence communities generally have with each other.

I went and watched this on your recommendation. This is really something, it left me feeling so inspired that I called up a friend who I've known for nearly 30 years to let him know that I'd be back in my hometown this coming summer and we made plans to hang out for a couple of days. After all of this time, all of the places he has lived, he ended up 2 doors down from my parents to raise his kids.

Watching this episode reminds me of the friendship that my father has with 2 of his brothers (the friendship that he has with his sister and his 2 other brothers isn't as strong, but is still formidable). They're pushing into their 70s and 80s now. And I've got twins that are under a year. I'm hopeful today that they'll have each other through a long and healthy life.

Seriously, thanks for sharing this. It made my the evening for my wife and I.
At least one disincentive is that if you do find an amazing new antibiotic effective against certain strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria, antibiotic stewardship means the medical community will try and use it only where necessary to slow any adaptation to the new drug. That makes your potential patient population much smaller.
