May I recommend Zotero [0] to you?

"Your personal research assistant

Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share research."

Like you I am an avaricious multi-tasker over extended periods of time and was heading towards the same state you appear to have reached.

I realised it was not optimal and did some research and discovered Zotero. I use it personally and require it at my businesses.

It adds several wonderful abilities - best is the ability to share and collaborate on research at will.

They were all retired IIRC & they waited until the statute of limitations for those crimes had passed before revealing themselves. So it would have been difficult for the government to meaningfully retaliate without making significant changes to the legal system & it's not exactly an episode that the government wanted to draw attention to.

I suppose they could have gone for extra-legal methods, but after so much time the people with the motivation to make that happen (if it was possible at all) would have mostly retired too.
With upcoming satellite internet projects (see Starlink), I think it will be highly unlikely to disconnect any army base totally from the internet. In such scenarios, any centralized service would be much more efficient, secure and convenient. Soldiers can also use cryptocurrencies for trade among themselves, without needing to carry cash.
And if the client didn't insert the necessary HTML, the thing wouldn't render at all.

fwiw The Conversation is an online magazine that pairs academics/researchers with journalist editors. The academics do the writing, and their assigned editors offer tons of hands-on support to help the academics to directly communicate their research with the general public in an approachable way.

Swap Apple with Twitter in your list. (What sort of antitrust anything has Twitter done? Have you seen their market cap and user base?)

Apple controls 50% of domestic US computing and has redefined the concept of a computer to be a highly taxed walled garden with mysterious, byzantine rules.

More companies like Epic will sue them and Apple will ultimately be forced to open up iOS to 3rd party apps.

Apple can't be a smartphone manufacturer, computer manufacturer, OS provider, services provider, Hollywood film studio, music studio, automotive company, etc. This is standard oil.
For an unfamiliar audience, can you describe which standard control theory principles these kinds of reports omit?
I only somewhat agree.

For example, Vancouver's real estate is pricey because it's one of the nicest places to live in the world. The rise of teleworking won't erase the mild weather all year round, the access to world-class mountain sports (hiking, climbing, cycling, skiing, etc.), the ocean with its views, great asian food, the rule of law, liberal culture, etc.

That's a very different scenario than, say, Winnipeg where it's -30 half the year and the other half the year the insects are so bad they send trucks around to fog pesticides. Plus you have conservative culture, no mountains nor ocean, little in the way of outdoor sports unless you like quad biking and fishing, or hockey.

I lived in Vancouver for a short while, and have visited Winnipeg several times for conferences and work trips. I can see reasons to live in Vancouver even if you didn't have to live there for work. I can see no reasons to want to live in Winnipeg unless someone was literally bathing me in money.
Plan 9 on E-Paper
It is not information sharing, it is story telling. It is engaging as it gets posted piece by piece, like a modern day version of serializing Dickens. Creativity comes from working within limitations too.
I think you need to revise your understanding of what aliasing is, because you are - to be blunt - wrong.

Any process that generates or distorts a waveform at any sample rate will generate aliasing in the digital domain - unless it has no >Nyquist components.

And most waveforms do have >Nyquist components. Sine waves <Nyquist don't, but ramps, steps, and virtually all forms of distortion do.

If you don't understand this go back and reread the basics, because hundreds of DSP engineers have spent countless hours devising ways to handle this problem.

Interesting how Danish and Norwegian write nytår / nyttår, while Swedish is two words. I guess in Swedish you could write "Gott nyår!" but that would then be a wish for the actual New Years holiday and not for the entire year. Is the Norweigan and Danish about the entire year?
Hi there!
I scraped the web apps from PH, that is true.

"It would have been great if you actually rated the execution of each site, i.e. your own personal opinion of 1 to 5. As well as potential market size or that company's current MRR (as is popular on IndieHackers)"

I see what you mean, but this 9,000 list had a different goal than that. I plan to do something like this, but then I would have a fairly smaller list than this.
Just this list took me 2 weeks to gather from start to finish, it would have been much more if I take the time and rate every one of them.

"Is it fair to say "validated" just means "submitted to product hunt"? If so, I think it would be better to state that up front."

No, I hope that I can clarify that for you.
I used the following criterias when scraping from PH:
- more than 249 upvotes (so it's fairly popular)
- has more than 5 reviews
- BUT the rating is lower than 3.21

This way my goal was to get popular but "badly" executed products from there.

I'm really sorry to hear that you are disappointed - do you want me to refund you?
By the way, my next list will focus on Web apps completely.
If you want, you can give me your email and either choose to:
- get a refund
- give you a massive, unique discount once my new list gets posted.

Tell me what you think. :D
> New law enforcement techniques using DNS and other Intel techniques will be used to track, seize and tax cryptocurrency - which will cause increased popularity of Ethereum.

DNS? Not sure how that's relavent. And furthermore why would a crack down lead to more popularity?

> A qubit will travel around the world without decohering and increase attention on quantum internet investments

Well that would be good for researchers, there are basically 0 applications so i'm not sure why it would generate imvestment excitement (who needs QKD when you have public-key crypto?)
Everybody dreams unless you're brain dead during sleep. It's more about if you can recall your dreams.

Some medications and /or weed can prevent dream recall.

It hasn’t been studied yet but it’s very unlikely this is true.

Is there any previous vaccine that this has ever been true of? If it was wouldn’t that enable the disease to continue to be rampant among groups who were not vaccinated?

Every state actor already has MS source code, because Microsoft is giving them access (including china).

And this doesn't look like something bored 15 year old would pull, So I doubt it was to access their source.

If I had to guess, they were either trying to find something specific, about one of MS's customers (some gov org) or the target was Azure. Lots of corps keep a lot of data there.

the government seizes domains all the time. The idea of them shutting down websites because of terrorism isn't new. 'National Security' overrides free speech in the 21st century. The facilitating crimes angle can easily be used as well against a rowdy online community.

I think there are laws against impersonation already. If I went around purporting to sell services in the name of Microsoft, their lawyers would act quickly.

Presumably you do enter REM sleep though, in which case you likely have no dream recall, which is not unheard of
Are you sure? I think they will have to show their passport when entering Gibraltar from outside the Schengen area, not when crossing the Spain-Gibraltar border (the BBC page I linked to says they already have to show it now, so that won’t change)

How would that even work, a border where some persons have to identify themselves while others can cross freely? That would catch only the truly stupid criminals. (But what do I know? Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area makes my head go dizzy with all the exceptions. You can sort-of sneak into the Schengen area via Svalbard or the Faroe islands, for example, so some holes needed to be closed there)

Such a system only work when everybody already has to show ID, as is the case when traveling by boat or plane to and from the parts of Spain in Africa (that’s a security check, not a border check. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area#Air_travel)
How a tech reviewer's YouTube adsense account was hijacked
Care to give some examples? I use eth on a regular basis for ~3yrs now and have never encountered any updates that broke basic functionality, or any updates at all for that mater that weren't broadcasted for months ahead of time.

Are you perhaps referring to some specific dapp built on Eth that you don't like?
the alternative is that the company or you found a way to rationalise or reframe the very same behaviour in a way that makes it appear positive, after all as the saying goes your paycheck literally depends on you believing that very fact.

Genuinely awful organisations always have people on the inside who are very convinced everything said about them is an injustice, but that can very easily be tribalism. I mean Zuckerberg and many Facebook employees claimed that Facebook influencing elections is a ridiculous proposal. If that's the kind of thing that working at the place does to you I think we can safely discount the opinion of insiders.

I think there would need to be a browser extension as well to detect the upvotes/downvotes.
Well, this is outside my area of expertise (more of an amateur astrophysicist), but I think it is a serious examination of a somewhat fringe idea. Basically, it is a theory paper asking the question of whether wormholes can explain the phenomenon, and if they were the cause, what would it look like?

I wouldn't take the idea too seriously (and the paper's conclusion seems more like a "no" than a "yes" to me), but it does appear to be a sound examination of the question (though, I would appreciate comments from someone with more knowledge of relativity).
I had my first during the first UK lockdown (ie planned before COVID). Tbh, I thought it'd go the opposite way - I wouldn't recommend having a baby during lockouts. You have to ask family to break rules just to get some occasional rest bite and we've had very little in the way of government or community support - my wife goes to 1 baby class a week, with reduced capacity, social distancing and masks. Being a father is great, but it would have been nice to start outside a pandemic.
I don't think I go into thousands, but easily accumulate a few 100 tabs. The way I work, I rarely have a task truly done in one go. Besides various side projects, I work on multiple websites for multiple clients and constantly need to put one on hold and wait for feedback, so I go work on another one. If I expect feedback withing a ~2 day period, it really doesn't make sense for me to close the related tabs. Not only does it save time when picking up the task again, but helps me reconstruct my train of thought without having to take notes.

The way I think of it is kind of like swap memory. Instead of wasting effort saving to disk and verifying the saved data (taking notes), I chuck the data somewhere it isn't in the way (a new virtual desktop) so I can pick it up later. In fact, this is exactly what happens with the tabs at the system level. Since I'm constantly running out of ram and have a stupid amount of swap space set up, my OS gladly swaps the relevant browser processes and unswap the relevant set.

Brokerages had backup DC's in Journal Square(IIRC) long before 9/11. It was apparently a favored location as you could draw power from 3 'independent' grids. After 9/11, a number of them didn't bother transitioning back to Wall St. I worked on Wall St. during the 90s, and was really shocked how much of a ghost town it had become even 3 years after the attack.
How to create 5 Cool CSS only Line effects
I can confirm from monitoring the traffic coming out of Ripcord that it doesn't track anything about you at all. It's wonderful.

It'll check for updates on launch, performing a single HTTP request, but if you really like you can disable that with an environment variable on first launch and a configuration option going forward.

We need more software like this, honestly. I hate how we as users have to depend on enormous multinational entities to get back the privacy we once had. I happily paid for my Ripcord license and I'd recommend it to anyone else who cares about the same things I do :)
Yeah, and every encounter with a warrior in the same game I believe (or maybe majora's mask?) you damage them untill they flee the room. I don't think you ever kill a human in those games. Maybe Ganon, but he comes of as a man-pig hybrid. Although I'm not sure how the knights in Link to the Past fit into this, surely those are human soldiers you're killing...

Another data point: What happens with the highway bandit in Breath of the Wild? They eventually teleport away, they don't explode into a poof of death.
Maybe the apps thought they were doing the restaurants and users both a service, but not every restaurant always feels that way.
Taking that first one and looking at current graphs, it looks like we're talking volumes of less than 500 BTC/week for the last year or so: https://coin.dance/volume/localbitcoins/VES/BTC

If we call it a rough average of $10k per BTC, that's $5m/week, or $250m/year. That sounds like a lot, but it's still only ~0.1% of GDP. In contrast, if we look at M-Pesa in Kenya, they report for 2017 doing $62.6 billion in transaction volume, or about 80% of GDP.

So it's not clear to me that Bitcoin is a major player even in Venezuela.
"She verbs nouns" would be a more appropriate complaint, although English has always welcomed the practice. Nouning verbs, likewise.

Latin grammar makes a poor fit, but we shoehorn our English into it as best we can because if Latin isn't always exactly right, what could ever be?

Vedic grammarians were always more rigorous than Latinists, but it is doubtful that a Sanskrit grammar would fit English better.
Believe it or not, there's some weird ways for it to happen; this is the scenario that I can remember offhand, but I think there's one or two more:

It sounds like Pence is the one that counts (or doesn't) the electoral votes, so depending on the circumstances it could result in neither candidate getting 270, which results in a "contingent election" - one vote per state, from the House of Representatives, which would be majority Republican, for the president. The Senate would choose the vice-president in the same way - so if this actually happens, it's apparently possible (if absurdly unlikely) to get a Trump/Harris or Biden/Pence outcome.

One possible reason Pence could do that is if the contested states send two sets of electors - one certified by the governor (how we usually do it) and one by the (Republican) legislature. My understanding is that if both groups of electors are correctly certified, either Pence would have to choose which to count, ignore both, or the Supreme Court would get involved. Key phrase for finding more on this is "dueling electors"; a lot of places are saying the legislature-certified ones wouldn't be valid, but a handful say it's possible.

Vivaldi has a tabs panel that lists all open tabs (as well as recently closed ones) like files in Windows Explorer, you can multi-select them and hit delete, or indeed hit Ctrl-A and delete. Sadly afaik there's no filter to e.g. select all Stack Overflow tabs.
I dunno... I disagree with the assertion that the DX7 was the synth that made synth music mainstream.

A lot of pop from before was already using synths. Funkytown was a Billboard #1 hit 4 years before the DX7, and so was Vangelis, Human League, Eurythmics and Owner of a Lonely Heart a year or two after that, not to mention lots of Michael Jackson and even the Ghostbuster theme... and that's just the Billboard #1 hits. Even Van Halen released "Jump" a year before the DX7, and England was already having synth bands since the late 80s. People were more than used to synthesizers by the time the DX7 hit.

And about the 909/303, back in the 80s/90s a lot of EDM tracks had 909 in the title, including a Daft Punk track. Same for some 303 tracks (but Acid was way more obscure). House and Techno people definitely heard about those. In fact, they were probably more popular than the DX7.

Sure none of those comes close to the 808 today, but that's because the 808 itself had a resurgence in the mid-2000s, and hip hop only got bigger since them.

In the digital domain Nyquist is a normalised ratio. It is not tied to a specific hardware clock rate.

So it's perfectly possible - in fact dangerously easy - to generate waveforms with components that are >Nyquist.

It doesn't matter if the hardware runs at gigahertz frequencies or subsonic frequencies. In fact it doesn't matter if there's never any hardware at all.

Because there is always an implied sample rate of 1 x fs, and any signal which generates components of more than 0.5 x fs will alias.
Media's credibility comes not from what it gets wrong, but rather that it may have any uncanny ability to say what is right.

The problem is that media is often right and wrong about things that are very far away from me, so I don't really see the win in "getting the scoop" on anything. For example, the NYT is really good at predicting when there's going to be a high-profile WH resignation or firing come up. It's not like I was going to get that information from original research or critical thinking. But again, unless you're a big player, what are you going to do with the inside scoop on world events?

Arguably, if you did really care about these things, then the degree to which any source provides signal is the degree to which you will tolerate noise.
Aliasing occurs when you try to sample frequences above half your sampling rate. This is the famous Nyquist theorem. This might help you understand why this can happen in naively implemented digital oscillators:

The law is not just about impersonation, it says the platform can't arrange for delivery of food without having an agreement with a restaurant. So if it's not impersonating anybody, and just orders food on your behalf with you knowing it's a middleman, that would still violate the law, if I understood correctly. I think that wouldn't normally be illegal because it's not generally illegal to do things on others' behalf (there would need to be misrepresentation of some sort), so if they want to ban that they would need a law.

This is the entirety of the law, by the way:

> 22599. A food delivery platform shall not arrange for the delivery of an order from a food facility without first obtaining an agreement with the food facility expressly authorizing the food delivery platform to take orders and deliver meals prepared by the food facility.

In that time the code and "assets" (such as they were) didn't reside in RAM (it was all in the cartrige), so this was only for a game state. Still, other home computer systems at that time (while addmittedly a few times more expensive) had plenty more ram, measuring in kilobytes!
