I personally believe it would help a lot if we reinvented money to be a high technology. Not saying it's easy. We might need to reinvent government also.
>If they are on GoDaddy, it means that they are technically incompetent.

Let's just say it can be used as an indicator.
GoDaddy is imo the literal worst registrar. It's unfortunate how often they're a go-to name for people, but hopefully it won't last forever.
This is missing the point I was trying to make. Of course everything is a tradeoff, I'm not trying to claim we are post scarcity. I'm making a point about aspects of the "trading space" -- for lack of a better term -- being poorly represented by the discussions here. In my opinion, I think we are doing a disservice by trying to focus on the things we can be dispassionate about -- as an example arguing about what portion of our nation we want to abandon to nature while maintaining and actively suppressing the aspects of this calamity that stoke moral outrage. Maybe I'm just the crazy techno-hippy here, but it says something to me about this community when none of the responses posted above touch on the most ideologically charged statement I made: "fairness to the owners be damned". Blind spots abound, and it's a shame we can't have a more interesting discussion.

I'm curious about your opinions: What is the point of civilization if not to work at minimizing death and suffering (or to maximize well-being and liberty, same-same)? What is of higher value to you, and what do you see as the point of all this?
IMO, this one's newsworthy because whatever they did works in click-boom fashion- no messing with gain or knobs or fiddling- there's a checkbox for remove noise, and a slider for how much you want to remove.

I'd been trying to get rid of the noise in my mic forever- and RTX Voice just worked.

(That being said, I also had to patch the installer, but like who cares? Someone else did the hard part of figuring it out already, and at that point in time, it was 'beta' software, as well.)
foundation slab is sunken and cracked by various amounts, rotten sill, bugs. This was all before my time. From old pictures it looks like the property was re-graded at some point.
There's a lot of innovation going on by patent filing companies, which shows your claim to be false.

Perhaps you intend to say it chills or hinders innovation - if so, do you have some statistical proof?

My personal opinion, unrelated to my employment.
200 years ago we weren't trying to feed hundreds of millions of people, and the small population that was there managed to kill them all off. That would a massive scale up of animals and they couldn't just roam - if you want to work at industrial levels you need to use industrial methods - to be viable they'd need to continue to be factory farmed, which requires a larger supporting infrastructure of grain.

TLDR: onlyfans uses multiple payment processors, and presumably shuffles customers to different ones based on risk. The adult payments likely don't go through stripe.
A lot of interesting takes here by the CEO on pushing people to perform. I found the following passage the most at odds with current discussions I have heard across the tech space lately:

Similarly, we ran the companies for attracting and retaining talent, regardless of gender, race or ethnic origin. We valued people for their contribution to our goal, not because they had a preferred skin color, gender or ethnic background. Either you are completely focused on and aligned with your goals, or you let in all kinds of noise that dilutes your limited resources. I have nothing against 'diversity and inclusion' as long as it results from our goal-oriented modes of execution. We are not a university or a non-profit, this is a business. You lack focus at the top, it will be much more so at the bottom.

Data Domain and ServiceNow hired you on merit, not because you checked a box. Good people don't want to be hired because they fit a demographic. We made a lot of money for our people, and we delivered more social justice this way than we ever could have, pursuing other people's ideas of that. I also did not make public statements about anything that did not relate directly to what we do. Focus is a discipline. I avoided having high-minded societal ambitions as part of my role. I am not the leader of the free world, just a CEO working to increase the value of the franchise entrusted to him.
Likely, yes, but the corollary is if your data structure stays similar and well defined, then you'll have smaller, cleaner and less refactors for reasons that are unrelated to a fundamental shift in your actual data
IMO for smaller markets, it's oftentimes easier to build a one-off custom solution than to make a generic one-size-fits-all solution. Custom software is high margin but low volume so there aren't as many opportunities to scale up.

I'm working with a client right now at a 30h/wk retainer. I solve problems for them and communicate with the team regularly as if I were an employee. In my experience it's easier to sell your value to the C-suite because they focus more on outcomes than line items or specific tasks. Relationships, reputation and positioning are key.
Yes, this is exactly correct. And there's some reason to believe that the most severe cases are the result of an overactive immune response (though I haven't kept up with research into this hypothesis, so don't take my word for it).

I don't tend to place a lot of emphasis on downvotes on this topic. I have a background in this area, so I know when I'm on solid ground, and there are a lot of people who simply don't want to accept the prevalence of asymptomatic infection, even today.

More generally, nuanced opinions about this virus are targets for attack from both sides of the political spectrum. It's a tough time to be a scientist.
That's a good question; I'm curious how the sales process works.

It's not winning on performance or price/performance. I suspect it's other features such as easy onboarding and an ETL (or ELT) toolchain. They claim it's self-managing, as so many products have before.

B2B over the web/cloud circumvents traditional enterprise sales (and billing!) channels, so I guess that's part of it.
Don't want to be negative but for me nothing beats markdown files with visual studio code.
They use Gandi under the hood. Using Gandi directly is a much better experience
I don’t think they advertise much, which I guess is a sign that they focus on trustworthiness and stability instead of growing too much, like Godaddy does.
No it doesn't work, as in there is actual scientific evidence that disproves that shaming is a valid way to modify behaviour towards better health. In fact it's likely making things worse (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6565398/)

The more people are exposed to weight bias and discrimination, the more likely they are to gain weight and become obese, even if they were thin to begin with. They’re also more likely to die from any cause, regardless of their body mass index (BMI).

Fat shaming is also linked to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and exercise avoidance, Alberga said. There’s emerging evidence that the severity of harm increases when people internalize weight bias and turn it on themselves. In one study, participants with high levels of internalization of weight-bias had three times greater odds of having metabolic syndrome than those with low levels, even after controlling for BMI and other risk factors

Using virtualenvs is standard practice when developing with Python. What the OP did will work with every standard Python installation out there.

Most Python developers have virtualenv creation done for them via their IDE or scripts that vastly simplify the process so that you don't need to bother with the details in the OP.
It does. To test positive viral load needs to be at a certain level, that can only happens if cells are infected and producing virus particles. If that's happening you're not immune.
Especially given that you have a bright background light, also that it cut through the space between your headphones. Pretty neat, and better than zoom’s silhouette guess.
well all corporations rise and fall, guess the direction for godaddy - tbh I wonder how they managed for so many years ..
I pinned a piece of green cloth behind me and used OBS with the virtual webcam plugin. Had someone in a meeting comment that there's no artifacts on my feed. He thought it was because I have a shaved head though.

I'm running build 460 of the NVIDIA drivers on Win 10 because I'm using the DirectML support for WSL 2. It appears that Broadcast doesn't work with this as it tells me "cannot start service" each time I try to launch the Broadcast app.

Has anyone else gotten this to work, and what build of the NVIDIA drivers are you using on Windows?
Could you flood their logs with nonsense domain searches? Would be fun to do a coordinated effort around that.

I don't know the specifics of the tech requirements, and I certainly don't condone giving nvidia the benefit of the doubt, but it may be due to efficacy of the hardware.

Non-RTX cards are technically capable of DXR as well, but the lack of specialized silicon makes it a nonstarter. I've used RTX Voice for months now, and coworkers have noticed issues and artifacts on occasion, I imagine they occur more often on non-RTX cards.
And what are the practices you are speaking of?
Except for the memory leaks.
Oh i agree 100% with that. Off the shelf static analysis tools have massive noise and rarely come up with useful vulns.

Most of the time they end up making a 20 page report with 500 issues that nobody reads because 499 of the issues are stupid.

(However, they can work if highly tuned to specific environment and workflow)
Immunity is indeed not binary. There's sterilizing vs non-sterilizing immunity, for instance, sterilizing immunity meaning that the pathogen is purged before infecting cells (emphasis mine):

> Without a strong mucosal response, injected vaccines may be less likely to produce so-called sterilizing immunity, a phenomenon in which a pathogen is purged from the body before it’s able to infect cells, Dr. Durbin said. Vaccinated people might be protected from severe disease, but could still be infected, experience mild symptoms and occasionally pass small quantities of the germ onto others.

I can’t buy bulk food at Wal-Mart like I do at Costco, I agree with the comment you’re responding to. Costco sells in bulk which causes the prices to be lower (or seem lower, relatively) and I know of quite a few restaurants who source their ingredients from there, which may make up some of the people you see with carts loaded with things like coffee or tomatoes.
The best way to get that information quickly is to expose volunteers to infection, which is admittedly an ethical lapse, but one nowhere near as bad as what actually happened (“spread panic and write off the nursing home residents!”) in my opinion.

> Additionally, we don't know the long term consequences of this thing yet - it's possible that it's going to cause chronic issues a lot of people who would've otherwise been healthy.

That is a risk I understand and am completely willing to take. Instead, a bunch of people with medical degrees have banned me from making this choice, hiding behind “informed consent” doublespeak (and pernicious nonsense in this case - nobody is informed, the risks from an unprecedented year-long lockdown are unknown too, and those are simply the stakes) while taking a giant dump all over the Hippocratic Oath. The reckoning can’t come soon enough.
Whole grains and white grains both just turn to glucose in your system -- so you're kidding yourself if you think whole grains area healthy in any respect, but especially if you think they are healthy in comparison to white grains.

And I'm not sure why you think whole grains have "time and time again" been shown to be healthy components of the human diet. In fact, we have known for hundreds of years that grain-based human societies have suffered shorter stature, more disease, and more dental cavities than hunter-gatherer societies.

The ancient Egyptians, for instance, had lots of heart disease, as we can detect from their mummies, and they had an agricultural civilization based on grains grown in the Nile delta.
Wow, I didn't know CF did registrations (makes sense though). And looking at their rates shows they don't markup prices. For example, most places charge $12 for a .com address. CloudFlare charges $8.03, which is their cost, they add nothing.
Both Facebook and Instagram are down for me. I'm in Central Texas. Maybe we'll luck out and it will stay that way forever.
It's 20%-25% of currently detectable antibodies, coupled with another 20%-50% from prior coronaviruses or other cross-immunity. That's the important distinction. The sum approaches the 50%-70% needed for herd resistance based on 1-1/R0. That's the point of this article.
Generically, it's usually "weeping tile".
Yes -- it is massively over-stated by ideologues.
It's fun and was worth buying, but I'm pretty sure it's 4D. In the in game manual, it even says that there is an unused spacial dimension in the in-game rulebook.

First, you have the 2 dimensions that pieces can move in in regular chess. The third dimension is the fact that pieces can move back in time a certain amount of boards depending on the move, creating a different timeline. The fourth dimension is how pieces can move into different timelines using one their movement dimensions.
Is there a cost for them to do this? If so, perhaps they would like to own every available word in the dictionary with every TLD? Sounds like a script kiddie could add a couple million TLDs to their operating expenses for the year.
The source you're referring to explicitly discusses benefits. It even includes a chart that depicts the relationship between "wages and salaries" and "total benefits" over the past twenty years.

While I think it's important to distinguish between wages and total earnings, it's also important to differentiate between earnings and purchasing power. The fact that benefits have increased over time won't mean much to the average American if that increase simply reflects a corresponding increase in the cost of healthcare, for example.

In my view, the important question to ask isn't whether median earnings have been completely stagnant over recent decades (i.e. 0.00% growth in real terms), but whether increasing inequality represents some sort of structural change. Thinking in those terms, the range of varying estimates regarding the change in median earnings over recent decades seems relatively small and insignificant when compared to the larger economic picture.
So not a founder?
I had a letter of intent for a large order right before the company froze budgets and the point of contact left, it was for $9k/year if I built an API for them to manage their domains inhouse. Currently they had a vendor they were paying $15k/mo and then on top of that $150 each time they wanted to add or edit a new link or domain. It was a win/win, our service remained viable, I could afford to make it better, and they have a 90% reduction in cost for that service.

Even if it had worked out, it still really wasn't worth it to increase revenues by $9k unless I was closing this sized deal at least monthly.
I use a combo of porkbun, Namecheap, Google domains (primarily all the .dev stuff from that landrush), hover (some legacy stuff) and Isnic (the Icelandic registrar for .is domains).

I like Porkbun quite a bit but sometimes Namecheap is cheaper or it’s easier to just add to that account.

I think I can proudly say I’ve never used GoDaddy as a registrar, but I’ve been with some bad ones over the last 20 years so I can’t claim full moral high ground either.
yees. :)
I’ve never heard of using doggy bags in Spain and it sounds, quite frankly, weird to take leftovers back home.

I've gone pretty rare on my steaks, and I've eaten raw eggs (100% safe if you wash them since any salmonella danger is from contamination on the outside of the shell) but I have not yet eaten 100% raw red meat.
In the case of cars often a car can tow, but it shouldn't. I know someone who burned out a transmission because the trailer was overweight (in this case it was a truck that the manual said max tow weight was 1/4th what he was towing). I haven't seen it myself, but my EMT friends have had to respond to cases where someone was towing

I work for John Deere, it is well known that ECU code can change the horse power of our tractors. What isn't as well known is the tractors with higher horsepower ECUs have more warranty work, and that is a case where we engineer the system for the change (there is more than an ECU changed in getting higher horsepower if you buy it that way from us because we don't want warranty claims)

If you know what the real limits of your system are you will sometimes discover the stated limits are less than the real limits. However other times the stated limits are there for a reason.
yes, i wasn't implying 297/year is the total cost of "the hobby". thats why i compare it to tennis membership, which is also only the cost of part of the hobby.
Such a weird analogy/anecdote/humblebrag, because it basically admits that the public roads are technically inferior, and to want to drive on them you have to make up a story about how you’re making the world a better place while literally accepting it as a worse place.

This basically boils down to the old people want the wrong things argument.
Substrings in older versions of Java used to reuse the character array of the original string instead making a copy. The flip side is that the original string must be retained in memory until all the substrings have “become garbage”. So there is a trade-off.
I think grandparent was alluding to a separation of the two concepts of sexual relations and family structure: (Two or more) People can decide to bring up a child together without being in a romantic/sexual relationship. (Two or more) People can be in a romantic and/or sexual relationship without sharing responsibility of a child of one of the partners. Under this prerequisite, a family is any close social connection surrounding children (and the closeness and type of closeness being the linchpin of whether the term applies – not every flat share is a family for instance).

Regarding overpopulation: One motivation that I've heard quite often is that one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to have one child less. This is always presented with the asterisk that this is of course a very personal decision and there is the understanding that this is not a standard under which you will be measured. Still, if you're just looking at the numbers, that's what you get. Sharing parentage with more than two people is an alluring way to achieve the same result, especially as it means you will retain more of your personal time when child care is shouldered by three (or more) people.

I think that's the joke of the title, though; perhaps rephrased slightly: "no matter how hard you try, this mathematical problem cannot actually be solved (and we can prove it, too)."
Yeah, no issues with the shades drawn on the window, it's impressive.

I hadn't noticed the space between my head and headphones prior to this comment, great catch. I'll definitely be using it during work meetings now, I'm sold.

Reminds me of OSGi. Great idea, poor adoption, mostly due to the complexity of the problem domain. Microservices are a lot worse in that regard, yet remain a whole lot more popular, sadly.
No, science proceeds on the basis of trying to prove a hypothesis is correct. As in, I hypothesize A should B, evidence XYZ supports this.

Even the most cursory web search can easily support his assertion.

for instance apple has removed apps that help you find other apps. It has removed apps trying to use features available only to apple built-in apps (calling them private interfaces)

but really - the eu and the us are scrutinizing apple's store as anti-competitive. That's a pretty big indicator.

And even when apple doesn't outright remove apps, it cherry-picks design features of third-party apps to add it to their own apps.

myself, I would like to be able to compile and add my own apps to my phone. Just like computers used to be. I cannot do that without asking apple for permission.
Critically, batteries aren't cost effective for the use case in question: storing solar and wind energy in a world where these are the primary energy sources. They're going down 5% per year, but who knows how long that trend will hold, especially if we're talking about a wide-scale switch to unreliable power sources (driving up the demand for batteries).

I want to live in a world powered by solar and wind, but we can't just wish away the reliability issues. And I don't think we should keep burning fossil fuels while we chip away at the storage problem. And we don't have to--we can build nuclear plants while we work on the storage problem.

As an aside, I think it would be really cool if something like Energy Vault (https://energyvault.com/) could be the solution (at least for the majority of use cases); however, I have no idea how feasible it is.
