Well thanks for phrasing that so nicely. I know it's offensive to some people but it's also exactly my kind of stupid humor. It's been a bit of a moral conundrum for me, I don't want to be an asshole to people who haven't done anything, but I also don't want to self censor. Currently though, for any new accounts that I create, I prefer another username anyway, but for this one, inertia is winning.
They have nothing on the current financial system, like banks being able to block you because you sell adult sex toys or someone being able to pull money from your account whenever they want because you once gave them your card details to buy a $5 sandwich or having to find a merchant relationship just for people to send you money. These are nonstarters that would get laughed out of the room if pitched today.

You're just used to the stupidity, so it's easier to scrutinize the new things. But there are people out there who take those downsides seriously. And sure, you're always trading old problems for new, different problems, but it's nice to have the choice between those trade-offs for once.
I'm studying for my test and they warn you that having an undeliverable address could get your license revoked. I wasn't sure how seriously to take that one.
This, to best of my awareness, is not correct.

It is not a part of RFC5322, RFC2822 or RFC822 - nothing in those RFCs establish any particular semantics of local-part (the part before "@"), and in terms of syntax IIRC those RFCs only defines the escaping rules (backslashes, quotes, etc).

RFC5233 mentions the established practice of using a separator character that splits local-part into "user" and "detail" pieces, but does not standardize any particular syntax for the separator (it cites "+" and "#" as possible examples). Moreover, this RFC is about Sieve language, and it is out of its scope to define such standard for email addresses.

RFC3696 mentions "user+mailbox@example.com" but does not define any semantics, merely citing this as an example of a valid email address, then going to how it must be escaped in a mailto: URL.

It is completely up to a particular provider to implement (or not) any subaddressing syntax and any logic related to it. No email specification I'm aware of makes this a requirement. (It's not like I've read every email RFC thoroughly, though, so I could be missing something.)
I am careful with that word. I start with

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squad

and would expect it to mean "8-14 members" -- if at all possible I would call a 20 person organization a Platoon comprised of 2 squads.
I am thinking he stands to benefit, else he would comment in this thread.

Maybe I am wrong to jump to this conclusion, though.
Both the school and the insurer would make a bunch more money in the short-term.

Might bite the insurer's in the long term if a bunch of sick people sign up, but very sick people don't tend to stay in school.
Won’t this drive up the costs for students in the long run?
It's common outside of sci-fi as well one of the biggest fantasy RPGs Final Fantasy regularly incorporates "Magitech" as they call it into their worlds.
I have dabbled extensively in the "traditional" *coin scene, but always shied from eth and the associated ecosystem. Stories like this are the reason why.

While I could articulate -and genuinely believe in- a raison d'être for the alt-finance tools created by blockchain systems, the premise and concrete value of the exceedingly sophisticated mechanisms in ethereum continue to elude me.

Given the primitives of account & transactions through distributed ledgers, one can construct a wide variety of services and use cases that interface with the real world on the user side and on the 3rd party service side.

Are there any services and use cases in ethereum-land that are actually oriented towards users? Because it seems to me that the only group getting measurable value beyond education are actors seeking to extract profit from "legitimate" value store or flow.

And I thought getting away from them was the entire point of Bitcoin et al. for the ordinary man.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Taylorism substantially predates robotics, and the low-hanging fruit for robot assembly in factories is good and plucked.

Pull resistance - when I learned about the butterfly knot, I also learned the term 'spilling', because the butterfly doesn't spill in any direction (which I used to great effect on a long lead for a very energetic puppy). Wikipedia says it's also called 'capsizing'. Interesting that the author discovered the butterfly knot had this quality without learning either term.

Seems to me that another quality would also matter: length. A butterfly knot takes a good bit of length out of the rope, which shortens your longest sentence.

He did encounter another quality I always found quite frustrating: knots that can't be tied in the bight. Usually when I'm doing knots I need at least two. If you tie the wrong one first, you start fishing the standing end through in order to tie the second, before you realize that it would be faster to start over.
Thanks for this note!

I'll include this when I build out v2.
Well, gas prices are insane right now so no doubt bots are bidding them up. Gas prices hit 250 gwei or so 2 weeks ago. $150 fees for some of these contracts and arbitrage aren't abnormal.

Here is a $188 transaction fee - looks like they were trying to "mine" compound from a $5 million flash loan? https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0d5def630cd20a1a24389982e99801e011...
Last week, I said there's a 100% chance there's a US (or western) company behind the recent internet outage in Belarus and was downvoted to oblivion.

I also stated that there's a very high chance of this happening in the United States in 70 days and was again downvoted.

Maybe 3rd time's the charm?
That's just historical materialism, FYI.

I thought about summer as well. I checked my alma mater's web site. Seems you can get year-round health insurance without registering for summer classes.

The exception is when summer is the first time you attend and you want to start insurance before fall. Then you need to meet minimum hour requirements.

I'd guess most schools are similar because otherwise they'd practically force every student to take summer classes. But it's good to verify.
That's when you start embarassing the person.

A group of students included my email address in their project discussion. They ignored my emails asking to remove my address. So I started replying as if I was a part of their project, but requested/suggested slightly stupid things. They figured it out real fast after that.

If you have the person's actual email, CC him on all that. If not, include a note saying your a different John Doe and to please remind the John Doe they want to reach, to use his own email address.
To be fair, they didn't claim that people don't also agree to very stupid and malicious things, and in fact rather implied that that's the likely result of supposedly sensible starting points.
When we have trouble connecting with zoom, we just go back to the old school conference call which is pretty smooth. It turns out, you really don't need to see closeups of peoples neck hair to have a functional remote meeting. There are also a dozen other similar popular video chat services that can be step up just as easily as zoom. Zoom isn't a utility, it's just one of the many redundant ways out there that you can use to communicate with people.
> None of the Linux vendors make their own laptops

Dell, Lenovo, Purism, Pine64 et al. do.

The two in your parent may (at least System76’s laptops are said to) use Clevo hardware, but they can still ship with custom open source firmware.

It’s also not as if Apple sells their own custom CPU at the moment. Even then, they’ll probably buy other parts from third parties (eg. they buy iPhone OLEDs from Samsung, though they’re said to calibrate them differently).

And finally, integration can be seen as a bad thing. It’s conducive to lock in (see above comment on ARM Macs ending Hackintoshes).
Can you really call them smart contracts, if they're this dumb?
Mentioned in another reply, but insurers already take into consideration the fact that sicker students are more likely to need their insurance. This is mitigated by lower maximums than normal and the fact that the sickest students will tend to drop out.
That's not dumb, that's evil.
Perhaps college plans are inexpensive in part because those insured are generally younger and healthier than the overall population? If a representative sample of the general population did this, presumably the prices would adjust upward.

Every auto manufacturer sells every car they ship.
OK, I did misunderstand. The numbers make more sense now. I believe step 3 "enroll, get that cheap insurance" should make this a little more clear. (It's not just the act of enrollment that gets you the insurance.)
I use Mastodon to get away from the negativity and hate speech on Twitter and Reddit.

In my experience, there has been a very minimal amount of hate speech on my timeline.

The nature of the decentralized, federated system does allow hate groups to easily gain a platform. However it's just as easy, if not easier to prevent their instance from communicating with yours.

It's very much NOT like the torrent analogy you made and a lot more in line with your Reddit analogy.

I would encourage you to go to https://mastodon.online and check it out!
So for some of my volunteer moderation work, this was a question I tried to answer, so that we could have a justification for censorship, instead of "We need to do this, or the forum will continue to be a dumpster fire of hate".

The argument was a closer look at the "market place of ideas" analogy.

There are actors in the market selling bad content. Content designed to addict, poison or over turn the fair functioning of the market place.

Earlier things were far slower, so this was not as pertinent a threat.

With social media, and virality, this is a clear and present danger for the functioning of the digital meeting places we enjoy.

Therefore, there is a need for action to prevent these market perverting actions.

<This ignores the class of locutionary actions that cause direct harm, such as hate speech etc. but the same argument can be made for them, and because of the clear harm they cause.>

Nathan Mattias at Cornell is someone who wrote/writes about it, while also working to help citizen run experiments to figure out what works for content moderation.

He had an interesting article which makes a better argument:

For me, there weren't enough words to actually make any sense of it. What I got is approximately "if you try to do ethereum stuff, bots will somehow do the same thing but earlier, and you'll lose your money".
Probably physical register file as referenced by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_file. PRF in this context refers to the actual memory that contains all of the register data, which can be much larger than the number of architectural registers to provide for register renaming, which can help performance (basically, the mapping from architectural register names to actual physical registers continually changes so you relieve the bottleneck of waiting for a particular physical register to become available).
Take big engineering classes at a state school, nobody will pay any attention to you.
I think you can. Especially when you can browse the tree which is similar to asking your teacher "what if" questions.

Many players I know learned how to play pretty well on 9x9 by playing a computer program.

I'd argue you can even learn much faster playing a program, because for high level players many sequences were based purely on memorization (including point values) but now seeing different results quickly you can understand it better.

And the level where your play is based on high level abstractions like influence and group strength is not that hard to reach and it wouldn't take much to reason them out just from the games.

Maybe I should just let this just let this comment stand for its own inanity, but dammit, someone is wrong on the internet.

That poster was at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, where you might expect to learn the differences between African-American culture and the dominant White-Anglo-American Culture. Context is important. In no way it implied that "Enlightenment-age values ... should be opposed." Also, it's kind of ironic to be cheering for the takedown of speech you didn't like on a thread where you complain about the silencing of the speech you do like. If you don't like what the poster said or how it said it, maybe oppose it with more speech.

About the whole industry of "training while charging 7 figures" isn't that just how the pendulum swings right now? Before it was prayer meetings and then survivalist tactics for team-building. Plus most employment in the US is at-will, so I suppose if employees don't like it, they are free to find other employers. Freedom cuts both ways too. Also, what's wrong with 7 figures? I thought the free-market and entrepreneurs charging for the value they bring to willing buyers were all good things.

When you conclude it's "purely about making kids hate what their parents did for them", well, that's the kind of hyperbole that's hard to take seriously. It is totally free of argument or evidence, and it sounds so much like the conservatives of the 50's and 60's about how the peace-activists, civil rights leaders, and hippies were going to turn their sons and daughters against their parents.

After eight years of using Macs exclusively for desktop and laptop use, I still can't get used to the counterintuitive focus management. I'm scrolling up and down in an app, start using the keyboard, and the keystrokes go to a different app! Arg! It just does not compute for me that I can be interacting with app A, move my mouse to app B, start interacting with app B, see my interactions have effect in app B, then start typing and find that my keystrokes are going to app A.
Why is that not perfectly analogous? The law can describe what is and isn’t hate speech, and courts and juries can decide individual cases when necessary. This is the same for all criminal laws. The fact that not all people will agree what is and isn’t a violation of a given law at a given time is simply not a valid argument for why a given law shouldn’t exist.

Now the tuition is doubled.

The insurance premium stays the same though because that's already the annual rate.

The CCP doesn't manage to catch all circumventions, AND they are not a multinational firm crossing multiple jurisdictions.

So when we say big players, do you mean FB or do you mean the National Govs?

Side note - the CCP also employs manpower to handle the task, so its not just ML, my point hovers on the ML aspect of it.
Germany doesn't let us Americans in anymore unfortunately.
People can be as hateful as they want and the government isn't coming after them. What people that use hateful verbiage are really arguing for is free from consequence speech and that just doesn't exist. They want to be allowed to be hateful and hurt Google's reputation and Google just needs to shut up aka these folks don't really value freedom of speech when people start using theirs to counter them.

> you could keep your Gmail address when you moved houses.

In understanding what went wrong here, it's worth noting that historically it was more common to have your email service provided by your ISP. If you moved to a house that wasn't served by the same ISP, your new ISP provided email bundled with the rest of the service at no extra charge, and you didn't want to keep paying to retain your old email, there were circumstances under which a move of house might have motivated a change of email.

Of course this was never relevant to gmail, but it might have been a part of the reason for the confusion. Or it might very well not have.

Only some Wall Street firms use models to calculate cash flow and stock prices. A lot of them don't even care about such things. They just buy whatever has the most momentum, or whatever they think others love (Keynesian beauty contest), or whatever fits their thesis of the world.
Looking at Wikipedia, this, technological determinism and economical determinism are related concepts (with the same names appearing in articles about them). I'll need to look into getting my taxonomy straight, but my current view is mostly contained in the explanation I gave in the comment above: inventions shape the landscape of the economy, and ideas/culture are like water flowing in that landscape (and perhaps slowly eroding it).
I created my Gmail account as firstname.lastname@gmail.com (by mistake), but I always create accounts on website using firstnamelastname@gmail.com.

To be really pedantic, keycodes only help when the layout is being remapped in software by the operating system. There are dozens of us that use hardware Dvorak mapping. Dozens! :p

So to be clear, the ideal thing to do is to allow the player to define in-game which keys should do what. But realistically speaking, I’m not going to complain because I brought this on myself when I chose to use a hardware controlled Dvorak layout. Still worth it btw ^^

I do note however, that the project is open source on GitHub, so if any of my fellow hardware controlled alternate keyboard layout peoples want to take a stab at submitting a PR for a keyboard binding config menu for the game I say go for it :)
