>Pigs are as smart as dogs. Why do we eat one and love the other?

Well, we don't eat people with mental issues either, or think it's OK to eat them just because they aren't "smart".

It was never about the smartness, it's about the utility (including being a guardian, keeping company, etc), breeding capabilities/size, and/or taste.

Plus customs. Some cultures do eat dogs. Some don't eat pigs.

Multi-purpose web framework designbased on WebSockets over HTTP Gateway [pdf]
Great summary of one of the major problems with trading (and related financial activities) on public blockchains. The root of this particular issue is that transactions are not processed sequentially but ordered by how much someone is willing to pay.

Having spent much of my professional life designing and building trading systems, and despite the problems with current blockchains, I’m convinced there’s something here and blockchain technology can massively improve finance in a number of areas (cost, pace of innovation and openness/fairness of access being the big ones). What we’re looking at now on Ethereum and other platforms is a set of early experiments, and some weird (and often unsavoury) artefacts of the fact that technical research and experiments are intertwined with, and creating, financial assets and economic systems.

At my company, we’re working on the hard problems required to do this properly, and one particular area of research that we’ve contributed is a “fairness” protocol that can be added to the consensus layer of decentralised systems to provide a better alternative to ordering by fee for financial trading and that would prevent this sort of issue. We’ve published a paper describing this research at [1] if you’re interested, and a more accessible talk by the author, Klaus Kursawe, on the topic can be found at [2].

Disclaimer: my company is building a decentralised trading protocol for serious, professional use cases, and the linked research is part of our effort to achieve this mission.

Growing up In Finland it was the only candy we would really want to eat, and if given a bag of mixed sweets would first fish out all the salmiakki (salty liquorice), and in the end reluctantly go on with the other, more lame sweets in the bag.
Building on the Wrong Abstraction
I use the Timeless theme myself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin?useskin=timeless). If you like the Timeless theme’s less-busy navigation but don’t like that theme’s sticky header and misaligned icons, you can copy my CSS customizations for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rory_O%27Kane/timeless.cs...

To try those customizations yourself, copy the CSS code on that page. Then, in your Wikipedia account’s Preferences > Appearance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsec...), choose Timeless as your skin. Finally, click Custom CSS next to Timeless, paste my CSS, and click Save. If you don’t like those customizations, just edit the page again and delete the CSS.

I made one final tweak to the Timeless theme: on page load, a bit of JavaScript scrolls the page down to hide the search bar and user menu. Most of the time I don’t care about that part of the page when I visit an article, and when I do want to see it care, I just have to remember to scroll up.

I installed that JavaScript using a custom user script installed with https://violentmonkey.github.io/, though you could probably get it working with the Custom JavaScript link in your Preferences > Appearance settings too. Here’s a simplified version of my JS that you are free to copy:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Wikipedia – scroll below Timeless-skin static header on load
// @description When using Wikipedia’s Timeless skin, modified with user CSS to not have a fixed header, this scrolls below that header when a page loads. This hides the distracting color bar and lets you see more of the article. If you want to see the header, just scroll back up.
// @namespace roryokane.com
// @match https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*
// @grant none
// @author Rory O’Kane
// ==/UserScript==

const headerHeight = 60;

const usingTimelessSkin = () => document.body.classList.contains("skin-timeless");

if (window.location.hash === "" && usingTimelessSkin()) {
window.scrollTo(0, headerHeight);
}

>this is one of the segments of the population most likely to behave irresponsibly

#1, I don't think it's relevant that you think that segment of the population is irresponsible. We are talking about adults and taking away their freedom. I personally would rather see objective facts, not opinion.

>people in this age range often unjustifiably act like they're invincible

#2, I think you are wrong about their invincibility in this case. 330 people under 25 died of covid as of August 20 [0] (most with comorbidities), out of a population of 104 million in the U.S. [1], that is 1 out of 346,000 (edit). This is not high on the list of dangers for that age group.

You should attempt to justify your imposition on them without smearing them. Young people are not in danger from this disease are being forced as a group to make significant scholastic, social, and economic sacrifices for those who are too afraid to self-isolate on their own.

EDIT: Maybe the focus needs to be on vulnerable populations, and not young people? What is the goal here? Are Colorado hospitals overwhelmed? There's no proof that lockdowns otherwise make a difference.

Note that Eastman Kodak is viewed in legal circles as the exception to the general rule of disallowing single-brand relevant markets, due to the particular circumstances of the case.

In Kodak, customers originally purchased Kodak copiers without any restrictions, and then several years later Kodak changed their policy and stopped selling repair parts to third-party servicers, which left customers locked into buying repair services from Kodak instead.

In Newcal, IKON amended their lease agreements with their customers without disclosing to the customers that the length of their service contracts would be extended as well, similarly leaving customers locked into buying services from IKON.

In both of those cases, there was an element of deception, and customers did not know that they would be restricted in the aftermarket when they made their original purchase. It's tough to argue that those circumstances apply here, since Apple's policies have been clear since the launch of the App Store and have never changed. In fact, some courts have interpreted Kodak to mean that absent a change in policy, Kodak does not apply.

Note that the paragraph you quoted specifically says: "the law permits an inquiry into whether a consumer's selection of a particular brand in the competitive market is the functional equivalent of a contractual commitment, giving that brand an agreed-upon right to monopolize its consumers in an aftermarket." I expect Apple will be able to successfully convince the court that this is indeed the case.
If that first sentence isn't what you meant then I'm afraid I've totally missed your point, and continue to miss it.
My understanding is that IPA are extremely forgiving compared to lagers, because the hops. If so, that explains to some degree why microbreweries like to make them, they're probably considerably easier to make in a consistent quality than a lager. It makes good sense to build a name and reputation on easier to produce items and use that to perfect more complex and demanding things.
Oh believe me, I have found the authoritarians. I did not realize how many of my friends would callously and unquestioningly swallow the narrative and obey.

(Many of my closest friends see through the narrative, partially because I wouldn’t shut up about it once I started reading the research and really realized how big of a mistake we’d made as a society)

It’s kind of like how everyone thinks that they would have opposed the Nazis because they grew up being taught that Nazis were bad. The truth is, this experiment in mass collective delusion has made it very clear which among us would have spoken out.

The ones reporting their neighbors for having a gathering or not wearing a mask while watering their lawn would have happily helped participate in genocide. Don’t doubt it.
My friend made over $500k from the Uniswap airdrop, he woke up on Thursday and realized he had another half million dollars. He sold it all immediately for stablecoins, and actually missed out on another $750k if he had waited a few hours and sold at the UNI peak.

So yes, it is crazy and complex and difficult, but the rewards are vast for those that dare enter the world.
Big talk! Must be nice being able to serve 99% of the index and not have anyone notice. If the gmail threadlist comes up with 1 missing message everyone will lose their minds. And obviously if user authentication and homing is down then search can serve public docs but gmail etc just can't serve.
Anybody else a infrastructure engineer and do Agile?

We do and I just don't think it fits for our work. Maybe it's good for development but our work rarely fits within in a sprint (which is a week for us which I think makes it worse).

And I cannot stand stand ups. They feel like a waste of time. I'd much rather do two meetings a week to catch up on things and look at our tracker in between.

> Accelerated silicate weathering
> Iron ocean fertilization

The real question is what it will cost in terms of energy and CO2 to mine, produce, prepare, deploy and manage such processes.

I have a very hard time accepting that we can use less energy to reverse something than the energy it took to create it. I have to admit it would take a lot of research on my part to fully break down these processes and quantify them from start to finish. I am just going to trust physics and say that I suspect perpetual motion machines are still impossible.

What truly scares me about ideas like iron ocean fertilization is the massive potential for causing a disaster that could damage sea life and ecosystems for hundreds of years. It's one thing to run an experiment on one beach or two. It's quite another to do this at a scale sufficient enough to affect things at planetary scale.

That's where, frankly, my brain short circuits a bit. I can't imagine some of these things done at a planetary scale without expending massive amounts of resources and producing equally massive amounts of pollution, CO2 and potential ecosystem damage.

Now, here's a twist. If the thought is that we can deploy any one of X approaches and deliver results a thousand times faster than the natural rate of change (100KY/100ppm) we have to be truly scared about what the unintended consequences might be. It's almost like that story about when they detonated the first nuclear weapon and thought there was some probability of the entire atmosphere igniting. I am not sure if the story is true, but it illustrates the point well enough.

I think we (and anyone who truly stops to look at the data and apply critical thinking) agree that this is a difficult problem that is being made far more complex by a narrative that is patently false (or distorted) all both extremes. This is a sad reality. Science should not work this way. Scientists should be free from political forces.
It sounds like the employee crying wolf made up assumptions about what monitoring is happening and for what purpose. Like with a lot of employee activism, there is an agenda involved and being factual doesn’t seem to matter to the most dedicated zealots.
Offtopic, but it blows my mind seeing <1 min old StackOverflow comments indexed by Google search, the sheer amount of work going on behind the scenes to make that happen.
The transactions still have to be valid (accepted by majority) to get consensus.

It's just that some subset of valid transactions are exploiting vulnerabilities in poorly written contracts. In this case, you want to make dead sure that your "good" exploit runs first.

This is not usual.
Most of the games played in internet cafes are LoL, Dota2, Fortnite, CS:GO... All these can run on a potato for cheap. Looking at facebook for used parts you could prob build a desktop to play those games at ~$200 sgd.
>The price looks really good compared to Stadia, and being able to use a dirt cheap Fire Stick that many already have instead of a $100 hardware investment is a huge plus.

I don't get this statement. Don't you need to purchase an Amazon Controller for $50 and if you want a good SoC and 4K capability you'll also need to purchase a Fire Stick 4K at about $50 which brings the total to $100.

As for Stadia - there's no need to purchase a Stadia controller or Chromecast 4K. I've used an Xbox controller and Chrome to play just fine.
>But I think it's fair to say that a majority of Vietnamese people don't like this and there is a movement towards banning the dogmeat trade.

Is it because most Vietnamese traditionally did not like the taste/concept, or because many today were affected by western culture (movies, series, etc.) focusing on dogs as pets?

>As for a place where you can eat dogs but not pigs, where is that? Most muslims certainly don't eat dogs, since they are considered dirty under Islam.

Well, Indonesia is mostly muslim, and they do eat dogs:

Say you're a manager who tends to be a little too "friendly" around women. There are two women in the company. It's easy to figure which one. Or things like the pantry is dirty and you're the one who's most vocal about it. Or you're sitting across from some guy who doesn't shower when he goes to work. Or maybe the back end engineers tend to screw up on a lot of little things, and you're one of the three people who deal with them. You could fingerprint someone with just a few of these.
Cochlear implant user here - they completely changed the arc of my life. I lost my hearing when I was 12 and was deaf for 15 years, so I do have some sense of what normal hearing is like. Sound quality is pretty good in the speech-level frequencies but degrades when you move away from that range (music sounds worse than I remember). That being said, I score in the 90%+ percentile for speech recognition and am able to talk on the phone with no problems.

There's no telling where I would be without my cochlear implants, but they truly have provided me a second chance at life. I got married, went to a great graduate program, and have a high paying, fulfilling job - all products of being able to communicate effectively.

Communication underpins fulfillment and self-worth. Any product that helps those in need communicate better is a net positive.
Defi yield farming is too dangerous for people who are not deep into the space. It's like listening to hedge fund traders talk shop and hear the type of trades they do to make alpha.

If you want to dabble in crypto, make a Coinbase account and go 50/50 BTC and ETH, and don't sell until you retire.

If you want to play with the fast money Defi, then you need to do a lot of self-study and learning.
I think a textualist and originalist view confirms your belief that it is unconstitutional. But as far as precedent goes, they can definitely get away with it:

Why is the Google Status dashboard slower than HackerNews at reporting the downtime?

To get ahead of the cynics — it would not serve the least generous of Google's objectives to be less than transparent about downtime — people figuring it out while the dashboard is green looks much worse.

I doubt google delete data at all.

btw: it took me a lot of time to delete my trash once I started cleaning up an almost full gmail account: a bit like when you want to delete your old facebook posts.
There's something to be said for this, but I also don't think the GP literally meant forcing them. Forcing children to eat something can cause aversion and eating problems. That said, I am a fan of strongly incentivizing thought promising a later treat for the first few times there's something new to try that I want them to give a fair shake to.
Well, you do know, consciously atleast. Knowing and the habits are different parts of the brain though ;)
Why? Just plug it right into the microphone jack on your laptop and use a virtual amp like guitarix: http://guitarix.org/
The first amendment guarantees the right to peaceably assemble. Visiting friends is assembly, indeed the ordinance calls it a ban on “gatherings” explicitly.

However as I commented as a sibling comment to yours, SCOTUS precedent would hold that this is almost certainly allowed, despite my utter disgust for these backwards policies.

If you can forcibly sterilize someone, why not prevent them from gathering? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_v._Bell
Thanks side another perspective on infra teams. We do Agile and it's such a time waster for us. We spend 5 hours a week on ceremonies that could be condensed to two half hour meetings.
This is why I can't run a company.

If I was epic I think I would be focusing on the fact that consumers generally don't have any idea about the restriction on payment providers, and that the terms of that restriction have changed over time.

But that gives up on half the case, so we'll see what they do.
I've always thought that's precisely why PHP is bad.

It throws out the context baby with the state bathwater.
Yep. Like make a Xerox of that, or I need a Kleenex or a Band-Aid
We do a "ScrumBan" style. Basically we do backlog grooming, sprint planning with 2 week sprints. We factor in that the oncall engineer will likely have less velocity that sprint and we're ok with carry over of some tickets (try to minimize this as much as possible).

If you're having issues with your work fitting into a sprint, have you dug into why? Are you breaking down the task into small enough units that make them more digestable in a sprints worth of time?

We also punted on standups, I never found them to be valuable and past experiences felt like they were more of a mechanism to get people into the office at a certain time. We do a once a week team meeting with an agenda that you can add to before hand. We discuss anything that needs to be discussed as a team and unblock anyone then. I trust everyone is doing work daily and I can check our sprint board without having everyone tell me what they worked on daily.
My Steam account has 282 game going back 15 years. I'm sure there's a few that don't work anymore, but I've never come across one. PC has a great compatibility track record even if a few games from the early 2000's don't work.
That is, indeed, what I was trying to hint at to the OP. The reply illustrated the bubble quite profoundly :)
I've played a lot of PUBG on PS4, and playing on Stadia is uncompetitive. I've switched back to PS4. A friend also switched back to PS4 for PUBG. I do not recommend PUBG for competitive FPS, but something like coop FPS is fine.
> Not sure why you're so excited to pull a "kids these days" here.

I wouldn't say it's kids these days. Facebook employees are not representative of the wider public.

The question that really made me shake my head wasn't the one about food but rather "Can we build a quarantined Facebook city? Like, buying an island and all of us working there?"
Actually, looks like it was something between their monitoring system & the DB. Per my prometheus stats, DB kept chugging along the whole time.

There are some great YouTube videos of people around the world trying foods from different countries for the first time. Watching people gag on American staples like root beer is a lot of fun.
You can't distribute changes to the source code. This is a read-only license.

That's both a practical limitation and a serious criticism of a company that markets itself as open source.
We shouldn’t be trying to prevent cases; a strategy of forcing young people inside, assuming it even worked, would increase mortality by requiring proportionally more at-risk people to get sick to reach herd immunity. But just as far as legal precedent, given this (evil) order is specifically in response to a spike in “cases” (they’re not cases they’re positive tests), it is more than justified under the reasoning used in Jacobson v Massachusetts. Unfortunately.
As a country boy who had to come to the “big city” and leave my hometown behind, I really miss the way of life in the country. Additionally, I come back home occasionally and get this feeling that I’m superior to the lowly bumpkins, even though they know more about engines and tools than I know about statistics. It’s crazy that the wealth gained in the city (which often feels digital, service based, non-physical in nature) imposes this viewpoint. It is what is real and yours that is truly valuable in my opinion.
I agree. So, rather than app store review filters, consider these proposed "App Store Review Guidelines", that I attempted to phrase in ASRG tone:

- Games should not charge money for progress or performance. For example, games that introduce slowdowns for non-paying players or that restrict the number of plays per day for free players will be rejected.

- Games that repeatedly show advertisements must not interrupt gameplay to do so and must offer an appropriately-priced in-app purchase to disable them. For example, modal dialogs and inappropriately expensive subscriptions will be rejected.

Note that I didn't try to rewrite Notification spam or Privacy, because those are a reporting problem that has to be solved at the iOS level. The guidelines are already hostile to misrepresentation of such things, and I think it would be better for iOS to offer "This app sends inappropriate notifications" and "This app violates my privacy" reporting mechanisms somehow.

I also have my own bone to pick here:

- Games must not use in-app purchases for gambling or other chance-based rewards. All items shown as available in a given purchase must be provided at time of purchase.
> Just guessing here, but I imagine that updates for service-wide statuses which are used on the scale that Google operates require manual vetting.

Gee, you mean we just discovered that area where Google admits that either automation or machine learning does not actually work?!
I think what happens is that there's usually 1 in 20 people who can't take honest feedback face to face. In the worst companies or the "top" ones, the ratio is much lower - I'd bet in some major bank, a unicorn, or a FAANG somewhere, there's a lot more egos. And more people who are the type to gaslight you and say your feedback is invalid, or get really defensive and make excuses for everything.

But in a large enough companies, where people in different departments don't talk to each other, this can be toxic.
