Bruce Schneier Proposes ‘Hacking Society’ for a Better Tomorrow
Its is not a blockchain at all its a protocol.

But your comment suggest that you didn't understand what a blockchain is. Blockchain is just a specific type of merkle tree. A git repository is also a merkle tree and also a chain of blocks. It just isn't revered to as blockchain because the term didn't exist back when git was created. In short blockchain is not "cryptocurrency scam, slow database" and all the other negative descriptions people use these days. It's just a technology that was/is used for that. Instead of blockchain it should be refereed to as DLT because it doesn't mater if there is a chain of blocks the key part is that is that it is distributed ledger which requires some sort of consensus mechanism and that is what makes this tech "new" compared to git or any merkle tree-like thing that we had before blockchains where a thing.
DLT also makes it obvious that it is absolutely useless to use in a centralized way.

Plenty of tech terms has got negative associations over time because of how the tech was used and not because the tech is actually bad.
P2P for example. People connect this with illegal file sharing, slow and buggy connections, non-private because your IP is visible etc. etc. While technically non of these properties are related to P2P at all it's actually quite the opposite.

You've said a handful of random different things, and some of them aren't necessarily untrue, but I have no idea what your point was.

Except one of several points was possibly to try to avoid saying you like Trump openly by hiding behind indirect and isolated observations.

"Everyone complains that he goes around killing dogs like that's so awful, but no one's talking about that one time one of the dogs had rabies."
Mortality rate is almost certainly lower, actually. 3% is already on the high end of the high estimates I've been hearing, which were 2%. This article says 1%: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/02/worse-than-the...

"If borne out by further testing, this could mean that current estimates of a roughly 1% fatality rate are accurate."

My B12 deficiency was discovered because of a routine blood test. Low hemoglobin, but since anemia runs in the family the rest was simple enough for my GP to put together.

> If pid equals -1, then sig is sent to every process for which the calling process has permission to send signals, except for process 1 (init)

Has this behavior with init always been this way? I could swear in the past that `kill -9 -1` used to kill init too (and thus cause a reboot), it was one of my favorite "fuck it and reboot" methods.
You are highlighting something that we are trying to quantify on my team right now. Customers come to you either scared or savvy, or somewhere on that spectrum.

You are often a savvy customer, that is being treated like you are scared. That disconnect is where your animosity comes from.

Good Support will be able to quickly identify where you are on the scale, and tailor the response appropriately.

Problem number two: It's hard to keep good people in support because it's difficult and often underpaid because its a cost of good sold.
Something that I do:

`set -o vi` and then hit `<ESC>`. You now have vim motion-like controls to navigate on the command line:

- `b` goes back a word.

- `w` goes forward a word.

- `0` goes to the beginning of the line.

- `$` goes to the end of the line.

etc.

I put `set -o vi` in my rc file so I have it on by default.
Don't hire - there's nothing wrong with him, or with working part time, at all, but you already don't trust him.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. That's not what 0xffff2 is saying, though. The fact that Gandalf could be an elf because Gandalf's beard doesn't rule it out, on account of some elves having beards, does not imply that Gandalf really is an elf. Elves having beards does in no way imply that the people were correct in their belief that Gandalf is an elf.

> Much of those gains came from GE Capital

Worth noting: The only reason GE did not go bankrupt in 2008 was because the government bailed out GE Capital. It's doubtful that GE Capital's risks were being properly accounted for when Jack was in charge, and it was a large fraction of Jack's balance sheet.
Agreed. I went into the article expecting new information, and what I got out of it sounds like a protection racket.

For what it's worth I'm sure he's aware of music made with his later inventions at Ensoniq (which made the first low-cost sampler, as well as some of the most popular synths of the digital era of electronic music...huge swaths of the late 80s through mid 90s owe their sound to Ensoniq synths and samplers). The SID was a breakthrough for microcomputers, but it wasn't widely appreciated in the music industry, but his later work certainly was.
Seriously? You want to be able to join a community you might not be familiar with and understand the lingo/jargon off the bat? Of course people will abbreviate things when the word/phrase is sufficiently long, commonly used, and the abbreviation mutually understood (brb, tldr, OOP, etc.). There is no elitism involved, if you don't understand something either Google it or ask. No reason to act snobbish because people cater the the most common denominator in a community rather than the lowest.

> Not true at all. There is a great benefit to "flattening the curve" to spread out the infections over time, as a high percentage of cases for older individuals will require hospitalization, and there are a limited number of beds available. If reasonable isolation measure are in place, this could happen, as there would be fewer active carriers at any time to transmit the virus to vulnerable populations.

Also, delaying infections helps buy time to bring novel treatments to bear on the problem.

NYC ER doctor: I have to 'plead to test people' for COVID19
Sadly, there's a strange knock-on effect of all the professional landlords: Instead of aspiring to own a family home, a lot of millennials aspire to become landlords, either by buying big and renting part of the space, or by buying small and using it as a springboard to buy bigger and rent the original place. It's a vicious cycle, especially since they often don't have the capital to easily absorb damage or maintenance costs, leading to the properties deteriorating rapidly.
you should stop taking losartan if directed to do so by your doctor.

I get the idea that its tempting to try and find a physiological sweet spot where you can evade the virus,

but virus has a number of tools that work in concert to manipulate the host physiology into a working environment and exploit molecular machinery.

this ACE2 related pathology is likely multiprong so disruption of one aspect will not be sure to reduce harm.

on the flipside blood pressure modulators can be a problem with incorrect dosage. Your doctor has a better scoop on your health status then i could have in any short time so thats where you should ask about changing dosage, and getting some idea of just how much risk you might have if your exposed to the virus.
