Then so was Ethereum, yet they seem to be off the hook. And they are also moving to a distribution model where the owners gets to mint and sell too.

Thus far, it was said that it was sufficiently long ago for the initial distribution to not matter anymore. But all that is true for Ripple, too.

Not to defend Ripple or any one else project, but a casual observer could be forgiven to suspect more things have happened behind the scenes than what is being communicated.
I use to be in the console scene in the late 90's. I had homebrew n64 & psx dev kits, and there were leaks of libraries, docs for both consoles. Perhaps because PSX was new, they were more tolerating back then, as a matter of fact, some of the ideas and tools from the scene made it into their toolkit and a few of the console hackers ended up working for Sony. Strangely, I recall never been too concerned about Sony but terrified about Nintendo to not discuss what I had with strangers on IRC. So Nintendo has always been mean. Hell, if you hacked and made your own cart without going through them, they would sue you back then. If anything threatened Sony, it was once emulators started working and catching up, but by then I had left the scene.

Metabolism has two parts: Catabolism breaks down complex molecules into smaller building block molecules - think proteins -> amino acids. Then anabolism uses those building blocks to build up larger molecules for growth and maintenance. Crystals don't do the catabolism part.
The point was regarding fulfillment center workers who don't work enough hours to get company healthcare. That is how it's handled.

If you get cancer or any other major medical catastrophe, Amazon won't do anything to you if you're a part time worker without health insurance. But even if you don't have the health insurance, Amazon will provide support if you catch COVID. Because it's good business to not have one uninsured person to expose an entire shift to a highly communicable disease.
No questions about that. And were I operating something that critical I'd feel good about paying to International-RHEL-Machines for support, they have great engineers.

But at the same time there are many other ways to get really competent support. Of course not for their frankenkernel. But again, were I operating something critical I would likely want to budget for regular updates that support newer HW/firmware/kernel/libc ... but we all know that certifying all that is much more expensive than just occasionally running yum upgrade. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyone want to comment, was CPR given correctly?
ripple is not the same as XRP

ripple could disappear and XRP would still exist and and otherwise be functional

You're comparing "almost all wealth" (from GP) to the number of people with self-made wealth, which doesn't make sense.

>the tunnel cost roughly 175M euros

17M/km - that is the key. It is couple orders of magnitude cheaper than in some other places. Or compare to just road, not tunnel, building:

https://www.rbth.com/articles/2010/10/20/what_drives_russias....

"However, the Russian costs of road building are among the highest in Europe, with each mile of road costing $10.5 million."

and the 20km Crimean Bridge cost almost $4B. If they tried tunnel instead of bridge, i suppose that would have added another order of magnitude :)
And that's why it doesn't apply here. The point of that metaphor is predictive - "do something about these bad apples, lest they spoil the bunch". But the Web is already spoiled, covered with three layers of fungus and home to countless maggots. The time to spot and remove the "bad apples" was in the 1990s. At this point, the Web needs to be thoroughly disinfected, or torched and done anew.

You are right, and V will give the developers that control.

It'll be possible to use `[noautofree]` in modules and use manual memory management with or without arena allocation.

Arena allocation should also work with -autofree, I don't see why not, it's just malloc() and free().

Try thinking about product categories - fridges, TVs, toothbrushes, etc. - and see what brands pop into your mind. Then ask yourself why those brands. In many cases, the honest answer may be because you've been exposed to ads of these brands more than ads of the others.
This is not possible for several reasons, one of which being that as mark-r says, Unicode defines the characters themselves; hence why a font works so well.

The second reason is that there are a LOT of barcode algorithms, so you would be duplicating the entire encodable codeblock (which is sometimes larger than ascii) a bunch of times.

The third issue is that barcode algorithms are not usually literal 1:1 stand ins. Barcodes usually have the equivalent of a header and footer, and often, a character will influence how the next one looks. At a guess, this font can (and probably does) handle that with font ligatures.

For important logins, I don't even write the password in my password manager, as I assume it's already compromised. Instead, I write there notes about how the password should be derived, e.g. contoso.com|x4|s1. Even if someone gets to see this and even they guess the exact structure of this algorithm, they'd have to know the salt, which would take long time to bruteforce. Otherwise they'd have to wonder if x4 means "4 times hashing" or "repeated 4 times" or it's something to do with the salt.
I do not understand what you have meant by "analogy".

The 3 requirements that I have listed do not contain any analogy, they just give a precise expression of the conventional meaning of the words "genetic material" as applied to a component of the living beings, now known to consist of nucleic acids for the life on Earth.

While not all biologists would be able to define precisely what they mean by "genetic material", the listed requirements correspond to the actual use of the word, in the most general sense.
I would prefer Arm, but it is basically Intel competing on its own turf in terms of the laptop format. As Arm improved Intel could bring it's celeron lines closer to i3, then manufacturers could switch to i3, i5, etc, for premium. A laptop maker that did an Arm was also doing a unique system as a whole instead of modifying the ROM of a windows laptop and they all know that format with Intel very well. Further, things like performance were even more mysterious to consumers when looking at some manufacturer brand and ghz.

Really, Arm was more influential in that a second bid is influential, whatever an Arm could do became the floor. I think most vendors who did an Arm model were doing it for experience in working with Arm in a new format and consider if they want to make Android TV, etc, down the road.
This is why I can barely handle going on LinkedIn anymore. It's embarrassing how many of these stories there are there - they must appeal to some base human instinct.
What massive negative repercussions?
From the pulseaudio developer (@pali) whose MR was blocked for 2 years:

“Hi all pulseaudio users! I'm really sorry that I have to do this thing but there is no other option. I'm really sorry.

I have to close this pull request because pulseaudio maintainers are bastards who decided to merge this pull request and later rework code to remove dependncy on codec libraries (which ensure proper audio quality) and replacing it by codecs provided by gstreamer which do not support neither SBC-XQ, aptX-HD nor FastStream. Both libsbc and libopenaptx libraries are required to have improved bluetooth codec quality.

Without them quality would stay low as it is without my patches. As pulseaudio maintainers stated in this and other discussion, including todays dicussion on IRC that they will do replacement, there is absolutely no reason to merge this pull request, which the only purpose is to improve bluetooth quality... as quality would be again decreased by usage of other unsuitable library.

Game is over. I'm closing this pull request now.

Blame namely @arun who from begining (see first comments) is working on decreasing quality by replacing codecs by gstreamer and @igor.v.kovalenko who today after IRC dicussion forced me to this thing and explained it by that linux distributions are not going to compile/whitelist libsbc and libopenaptx libraties like Ubuntu...

Good bye. It is pity that I have not do this thing year ago and I spent time on this, now useless project.

EDIT: Do not expect any bluetooth improvemnt in pulseaudio project. Maintainers are doing obstructions for 2 years to prevent merging this pull request in any form and rejected any other compromise or fixes which were proposed here in this pull request.

I get lot of emails from you "users" that you want better bluetooth audio quality. But I was not able to do anything for 2 years, you have to blame pulseaudio maintainers. Some of you sent me information that they are paid by either Red Hat or Microsoft/Apple to ensure that bluetooth quality would be catastrophic. I do not want to believe to these conspiration theories but reality is simple: Maintainers are doing everything to not improve quality -- either by blocking merging this pull request for 2 years (see that first version of patches were created prior gitlab existed and were only on mailing list) or forcing to use ffmpeg/gstreamer which does not support none of codecs in this pull request. And they do not want to change their mind or fundamentally did not understood this issue.

(PS: Reason for existance of LDAC, aptX and other proprietary codecs in bluetooth headsets is just because of poor implementation of SBC codec in systems)

So if you are asking, what to do: switch to other operating system. As you can see maintainers really do not want any improvement in Linux pulseaudio. I cannot help more

I would not reply to any other user comments, please send them to pulseaudio maintainers.“
You should call them "elements" instead of "tags."

No mention of favicons, let alone `apple-touch-icon`s etc.

Don't group by element name. The canonical URL should be under "SEO."

The part following "The template below..." is just a poor version of HTML5 Boilerplate.

The meta element with the `name` value `viewport` is not an "Apple" element, just an element.

`format-detection`? No.
This is true. Especially if you look at what Jed Mcaleb helped to cocreate with Stellar, you can see the original idea of Ripple expressed clearly in what has been done with XLM.
The crystal thing is throwing me (a geologist) off. Basically all Earth materials are crystalline. So rocks are alive (colonial organisms I guess since they are aggregates of crystalline minerals) but the magma that they crystallize from is not alive? Or is magma alive too? What about obsidian, which is glass but compositionally identical to a crystalline igneous rock. No crystals! The Earth's crust and mantle: Crystalline. Alive. The Earth's outer core: liquid iron and nickel. Non-living. The inner core: crystalline iron and nickel. Alive.

Crystallization is reversible in a thermodynamic sense. You take some granite, melt it, and then cool it (slowly, under pressure), and you have granite again. Is this a phoenix/Jesus-like life and death cycle? Or does life only change forms?

I agree with you generally that 'life' may be gradational. However I think calling crystals 'life' actually removes any meaning whatsoever from the term. If the line isn't somewhere in the neighborhood of viruses and prions then it kinda has to expand to include anything made of matter (and then energy etc.).

While we don't (and don't have to) have a precise definition of 'life', the 'life' gradation needs to branch like a Bezier curve off the x axis at some point for it to be a functional term.

The antenna FB is describing provides cellphone coverage. Wireless providers just provide Internet/network capacity (since they rely on a customer's fixed antenna). Both those things are needed in rural areas.

Both these solutions require that you be in line-of-sight to the tower. You are more likely to be in line-of-sight to 250 meter tower.

So, you're right, not comparable but still.

There isn't any good hardware available today with Windows on ARM. So, while you CAN do it, it's not the best experience for doing it. By comparison, XCode shipped natively with the M1 release. The native debugging experience on Visual Studio is one of the best in the business. Take that away, and it's a crummy experience.
Shannon was Wiener's student and they both published their equivalent mathematical theories of information simultaneously - Shannon as an article split into two parts published Summer and Autumn 1948, and Wiener in Cybernetics in Autumn 48 too. They presented talks at a conference where they used the concept in spring 1947 (Von Neuman presented on the computer). Wiener claimed that his concept of information predated this by months to a year. Regardless they both came at it from different but complimentary angles - Shannon from cryptography (securing Roosevelt and Churchill's line), Wiener from time series and neural nets. For all intents and purposes it should be called the Shannon-Wiener theory of information.

This said, Von Neumann considered information theory to originate in Leo Szillard's work from the 30s (Maxwell demon analogy), but that's a bit of an outlier position as it's quite obtuse.

Wiener is partly written out because his communication theory (a term Shannon, like Wiener used as a synonym for information theory, but which has come to identify Wiener in distinction to Shannon) was considered too philosophical. His accounts for things which cannot necessarily be measured and tested objectively - the quantity of meaning, as opposed to cliche, in a sentence, for example. Cybernetics also suffered a huge fall out of fashion in the US during the second half of the '50s, even though it's ideas spread everywhere. The coining of 'artificial intelligence' in Dartmouth to escape the cybernetic baggage of 'learning machines', the invention of hci, personal vomputer, the internet, for example. It re-emerged in the late 60s as 'second order cybernetics', with a focus especially on organism, but by this point the computer world had long disassociated itself from the organic and the social, in the sense found in Wiener's cybernetics. As Bateson, Mead and Stuart Brand put it, many of the original figures from the circles of Wiener and Shannon 'went off into input-output'. Computer science.[1]

Follow from this the popular, commercially-driven jargons of 'information technology' and 'information revolution' of the 1960s, which reduced Shannon and Wiener's rich concept to a catch-all for anything vaguely related to digital computers, and Shannon comes out a much simpler founding father than Wiener.

Right, but intent matters. You're not allowed to boobytrap your property, but beyond that you won't be held liable for burglars injuring themselves.

I mean, if instead of glitter and fart spray the thing was wired specifically to explode and kill the thief, the argument "they stole my explosives and blew themselves up" won't hold water.

I'm curious what a court would rule on this matter - anywhere from fart spray over property damage to death.

Any extra persuasion on top of listing features and asking price is an attempt to shift the potential customers away from rational cost/benefit analysis, leading them towards making a suboptimal choice. In simpler words: it's making their lives worse.
Translators are also getting screwed.

A good chunk of anime translators come from the fan translation scene, and the problem with that scene is that it's brainwashed people into think they should work for recognition instead of money. This results in some really fucked-up dynamics, such as:

1. Bootleg streaming sites that charge you for fansubs. This has been a particular thorn in the side of the licensed translation business because the old unspoken rule of "don't translate licensed works" has long since been forgotten. They rely entirely on unpaid labor throughout the chain, and are absolutely parasites on everyone. (If there was one compelling argument for "stop-having-fun-guys" levels of copyright maximalism, it would be these sites.)

2. Crunchyroll's absolutely terrible translator wages. This particular site actually used to be one of those old bootleg streaming services, so when they did "go legit", they kept the underlying mentality of paying people peanuts. They're basically parasites dressed up in a fancy suit.

3. People in the legit side of the business (save for Crunchy) having extremely negative aspersions on anyone who had a history of working in the fan translation scene. Occasionally this is for proper CYA reasons, but more often it's a weird form of elitism.

Quite honestly, I think we should start looking at any industry with fan passion surrounding it as a huge exploitation smell. For every person risking millions of dollars in copyright liability by making a cool fan project, there's probably 9 or 10 more people who became trained professionals the "proper" way and wound up getting jobs at these big companies where they were chewed up and spat out. Any business that has the potential to live off the backs of fan labor is probably doing so, even by accident.
