For some historical perspective, generally, populist revolutions throughout history, especially in the West, have been leftist, the French Revolution, American Revolution, Mexican Revolution. Right wing revolutions tend to curtail rights like the Iranian Revolution. And the all time greatest threat to the world has been a right wing populist revolution; the rise of Nazi Germany - which thankfully was defeated.
Off-camera light and creative lighting are two of the most powerful ways to create surrealism in a medium that, in theory, if capturing what is literally happening in the real world.

Yes, but my point is that it isn't an example of the US adopting a standard. It's the US just happening to have chosen the more popular of two arbitrary options.
When I go to a store and buy Milk the carton doesn't say "Milk made by Cows". When I go to buy Milk/Milk-substitutes from other sources they'll be called "Almond Milk", "Goat Milk", etc.

It seems like you stop saying "made by Cows" when it's not surprising that the Milk you'd be buying is from cows.
In order to do anything with Bitcoin, which appears to be what the author wanted, you would have to be connected to the Internet. Keys being stored in hardware wallet sure, but the gold bars are still in public view.

Hardware wallets aren't without their flaws. With an application-level vulneravility in a hardware wallet, you are still screwed. Here is just one example: https://www.ledger.com/improving-the-ecosystem-disclosure-of...
This is potentially the most important discovery in planetary science to date. The reason, which is left until the end of this article, is that water can be electrolyzed to yield hydrolox propellant, i.e. rocket fuel.

Rocket fuel dominates logistics in space. The tyranny of the rocket equation is that it takes an exponential (literally exponential, not in the colloquial sense) amount of fuel for a linear increase in velocity. This is why it's so hard to go to Mars, and why we need to slingshot around Jupiter to go anywhere else.

A source of rocket fuel above Earth's gravity well would break the tyranny of the rocket equation, and serve as a stepping stone to other parts of the solar system where water is abundant (i.e. Ceres, Mars). Until we have nuclear or other exotic propulsion, water is the oil of space.

To paraphrase the lunar anthropic principle, if the universe had wanted humanity to become a spacefaring species, it would have given us a Moon, and it would have put water on it.

We're just scratching the surface of what these lunar water deposits mean.

That's overly complicated. A single hardware wallet in a fire proof safe or a safe deposit box in a bank vault is sufficient for this use case. If a hardware wallet were stolen, the thief would still have to guess the password. q.v. https://xkcd.com/538

> In general, a crash on the latest OS update is a good reason for rejection because you're going to have to fix it sooner or later anyway. Better to fix it now rather than have to come back to it later.

That's true, but how do you fix a bug you can't reproduce with an unreleased patch you can't acquire, which is probably the same for the general public?

There has to be some flexibility here.

I keep hearing that, and yet see mailbox hacks where the attacker tells accounts payable to update the payee's account and the money goes bye bye. Seems to turn into an insurance matter. I'm not sure why, but apparently just getting the bank to get the money back isn't so simple. Nobody talks about it in public. Haven't personally seen 8 figure amounts, but have seen amounts around a million dollars.
Correct me please if I'm wrong, but I'd say most of those folks not served by a bank wouldn't have the skills to manage bitcoins either.
well, yes, it also means that.

nothing in that statement implies that crashing was not preceded by normal, controlled flight. the term "crash" has no innate implication besides violent impact. though, yes, in actual use it often implies "accidental" and/or "uncontrolled".

Well the fun part is that the way it's different is that there would be a bank account with your money in it, that the brokerage isn't allowed to touch. So, you're protected from the brokerage going bankrupt - your money is still yours if that happens.

But it's still in a bank account, so if the bank goes under you're screwed. See my other comment in this thread though...
> It's much easier to get to know an application when its code deals with business objects that you already understand well, than to read hundreds of lines of code that deal only with abstractions.

This feels backwards to me. If I‘m new and join your team I’m much more likely to understand what a monad and a fold are than to understand your domain specific business objects.

So if we are working for an insurance company and see the ‘Insurance’ type is an instance of Monad I now know a great deal about combing different insurance products into new derived ones. By reading a single word of code!

Yes, but “should” is the operative word here. I don’t think most UUID libraries use good randomness, and the UUID RFC standard actively argues against using UUIDs as anything which has to be kept secret.

I would use the bank owned by my government, the National Savings and Investment bank. And I do.

The reason is that since the government owns this bank, and the government issues the money, if the bank fails the government fails too and the money is now worthless anyway.

I worked on a dating app that would almost always get rejected because the reviewer would find a profile that had partial nudity or someone in a sexy pose and would just reject the whole binary for that reason. Even for major bug fixes. Even for a feature we had added that would make it easier for users to report inappropriate photos on our app. They were holding back that feature because they found an inappropriate photo in the app. Updates would take on average 4 weeks to get approved. Very infuriating.
The US intel community (a) doesn't need to do that because in general US tech is world-class and (b) wouldn't be very good at their jobs if they admitted to it publicly. I suggest you review your Cold War history for examples of when both sides were absolutely stealing each others' technology.

The grocery store that’s 2 miles away is a big supermarket. The US doesn’t really do small groceries in most places.
fwiw, multiple big games I can think of do exactly what you described and are still on the iOS store. At least one of them brings in millions USD a month AND the out-of-app-only purchase flow is a huge money maker. Google lets them get away with it too, though, so it might just be a "big companies obey a different set of rules" situation.
And what about deaths and respiratory problems caused by burning fossil fuels? What about CO2 used to produce solar/wind powerplants? How to recycle retired or failed wind/solar powerplants?

It got so bad that I basically had to stop using Google image search for a while until I found that plugin also. It's made image search useful again.

I kind of don't get why it doesn't fall into the same problems that experts exchange did with showing google one thing and users a different thing for purposes of indexing. It resulted in them getting deprioritized and the main search working better as a result.

What fascists? All of our elected officials are either left-flavored neoliberals or right-flavored neoliberals. The only exceptions I can think of are one self proclaimed socialist (Sanders) and one libertarian (Paul). Certainly no elected communists.

Europe has a much greater variety of politicians (right and left) than America. The center/left/right paradigm doesn't make much sense here (as much as compressing all possible political positions into a 1-dimensional spectrum makes sense anyway.)

Yes. Google has created this monster of SEO optimized spam desperate to show you ads.

If they changed their algorithm to prioritize sites with minimal ads and tracking, load quickly and aren’t bloated, and actually work with a good user experience, incentives would change.

I guess that is what they are trying to do with AMP. But you would think they could do it by just changing their ranking algorithm.
Reading that article, I can't help but wonder if the effects of solitary confinement begin to manifest as a kind of pervasive low-level mental illness after people have no physical, real life social contact for days on end. The plot points of the conspiracy sound like the experience of talking to someone who has been alone in their head long enough that they index on connections they made themselves, and they expect you to share their reference points. The details of these social hallucinations don't matter, it's the fact of them at all, and what might be causing them that is the important piece to me. I've met people seized by stupid ideas, and any attempt to dislodge the idea from the outside will trigger its immune response, so you just smile and nod and change the subject.

Having travelled the periphery of evangelical circles, there is an element of that culture where metaphor and belief blur. What secular people might describe using terms from psychology or literary narrative, some evangelicals use a mythopoetic framework for discussing everyday struggles instead.

The author references the idea of a "Big Lie," which I see as a fast filter for building a pipeline of people who are susceptible to being unmoored from reality if you just give them some enticement. From this, I think QAnon most resembles a new folk religion of isolated people, which is the effect of their social atomization. It's what you get when you disconnect people from each other and they need to understand the world in stories and create new ties. Viewed that way, it could look less like a single conspiracy theory and more like a modern variation of something like a "Voodoo," or a reactionary "syncretic religion," as described in wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncretism
So they need to make $1 profit for each of those conversions just to make it worth if they hire 1 ML scientist for 95k/year. Or $10 if they hire 10 for 950k/year in total. And so on...

That's a really good point. I recently transferred a few hundred k. It's a little bit of a hassle, but you know what, the system SHOULD look at that more closely. And it can, because that scales.

What we need is scalable micropayments, not ability to more easily lose $100M one transaction.

The people who do need to move $100M it's ok if we have a separate system for.

I'm not really criticizing the policy, mostly because there is no policy there to criticize. There was a political outcry accusing the US government of bottlenecking treatments, so an agency makes a public statement saying they are willing to take risks.

The actual content of the statement has nothing actionable in it, so it can never be an issue. The fact that the agency is reacting to some plain-Earth level nut outcry is an issue.

And, yeah, of course, nothing really happened there, at least yet. Nothing did happen on Russia either, again, at least yet. It all just makes for a funny comment with really interesting timing.
Sure. Then look at what the left actually does, and tell me how it makes racial, class, and gender divisions worse. The democrats in the US don't qualify as leftists, as I stated above.

The problem with such a new, unproven, and completely unregulated system, many alternatives to 'be your own bank' are also not good options. Plenty of exchanges have lost a lot of people's money. It's hard to tell which wallet or exchange is reliable and which isn't. Instead of trusting a system that's tightly regulated in order to protect people's money, you're expected to trust a system that's completely unregulated, that's filled with crooks and cowboys and idiots who keep creatively or accidentally figuring out new ways to lose your money.

It's a good example of why regulation is necessary in banking.

I would hope there is some regulatory concern about flights over populated areas. Yes, there are a number of ways this concern might be addressed, but like everything else, I expect the FAA to be really anal about it.

I also hope they are concerned about potential remote hijacking. It is probably desirable that these things can be overridden by a human operator, rather than solely relying on the flight computer. But that opens the possibility to attackers as well.
What if - we hypothetical assume that china one day would become a normal nation, ruled by a democratic elected government - with power divided by checks and balances, and a rule of law.
Now lets further assume that any company, that lost ip to the "old regime" gained a title in a international court that upholds, no matter the current regime. These titles would have value - that even would increase (after all its parked money). Thus a company, making a loss due to ip theft, could sell of those future earnings - for example to a bank.

A bank, could hold on to the title and use it to for example collect the owned money of the title from people who are involved in the ownership of the title - as ccp members or parts of a company owned by the ccp.

That way ip-theft, would be nothing, but debt taken from the international community.. and as the title collection would make it rather bad for those taking the debt..the accumulating debt would make the regime go bankrupt.

What would you categorize as shiny in this case? "spam detection, image labeling, event parsing, text classification" can be implemented in lots of ways, simple and shiny as well.

Either way I don't think it matters too much because people can't really tell simple from shiny as long as the buzzword bullet points are there.

The point is rather that the job of the data science team is to deliver prestige to the manager, not to deliver data science solutions to actual practical problems. It's enough if they work on toy data and show "promising results" and can have percentages, impressive serious charts and numbers on the powerpoint slides.

I've heard from many data scientists in such situations that they don't get any input on what they should actually do, so they make up their own questions and own tasks to model, which often has nothing to do with actual business value, but they toy around with their models, produce accuracy percentages and that's enough.
