> It seems like if you had knowledge of this and you could predict a highly profitable business merging with a SPAC, you could get in at the ground floor for incredible and almost immediate share price growth.

Take care to not fall victim of a pump & dump. Rumours about SPAC acquisitions seem to be in fashion recently and I wouldn't be surprised if SPAC owners focus on targeting retail since the whole WSB/GME thing started.
I can assure you that I do not support this.
That sounds about right. I'm guessing the last time I was hired it wouldn't have happened through a "standard interview process" because my background is somewhat eclectic and I frankly probably wouldn't tick enough of the boxes for obvious positions I might have been inclined to apply for. But people knew me, a job description was written for me, and here I am quite a few years later.
1) Am I hitting a paywall or is the article really only 4 paragraphs long, amounting to a directly-relayed press release?

2) Is it more likely that this is funded by the NSA, or instead that the NSA has had something similar for decades and this is a ploughsare-type filtration of techniques into the private sector?
I also have a Disqus account and at some point it got flagged (incorrectly) for spam. I've emailed them and asked in their forums for it to be fixed but apparently it isn't something they will fix.
Personally I think the factorio format would work great for developing biochemical systems into cells and then multicellular organisms. It’s all about the automation, and would teach biochemistry concepts simultaneously. That would be a good spinoff that I would play.

In these situations the Police basically have 2 options.

- Take into custody (Which could mean being committed)

- Shoot

I'll take my chances with trained health/mental health professionals who can understand "I took too much", or I'm having a mental health crisis and while I might seem "out of control" I'm really harmless. Frankly if those health professionals think I need to be committed I probably should be committed.

The police can take you into custody and commit you as well, but if you are having a mental health crisis, and can't really follow the rigid police directions more than likely it's going to end poorly, because the police will do what's necessary to take you into custody, including killing you.
Sadly, this is the most effective way. Fox News Channel is generally included in most basic cable packages, so unless you can find a cable package that only includes channels you'd receive with an antenna, part of your cable bill will go to FNC.

It saddens me as I see this massive infusion of developer time and energy being donated to one of the biggest tech companies around.

An NFL game consists of a series of designed plays, and the 12 minutes is just the execution time. In between plays, there are formation changes and setup, so fans can guess at what the offense is planning and how the defense is reacting. (That happens in other sports too, but here there's a formal beginning and end to each play.) Then there are also breaks between quarters and after changes of possession, where genuinely nothing is going on.
Agreed. It’s worth noting that your concerns absolutely have precedent.

In the USSR and other 20th century states, committing people against their will to mental health asylums was a very common way of dealing with political and religious dissidents.
"To Whom It May Concern", its most formal way to address person/authority whom you don't directly know. Many potential good candidate don't know company contact info or they are remote but interested to work with you. they may or may not be suitable for position but one should not ignore if they are too formal. Just read bio, Introduce yourself responsible person and shoot few questions and wait for personalized reply. If goes well do skype meeting.
No, there really isn't. I do think SPACs will sometimes seed the internet hype machine if they have a target in mind though. This particular one has been discussed a few times and doesn't seem to be a surprise to most. The problem is people (or more specifically holders of the SPAC) seem to often try to pump a particular SPAC on speculation for their gain.

For example reddit (along with twitter, stocktwits, seeking alpha, etc) was absolutely rife with posts about how "certain" PSTH was merging with Stripe. The DD was long, sock puppet accounts numerous, but sooo extremely thin it was hilarious. $CCIV is another example that has long been hyped to be merging with Lucid which has brought the value up 300% since inception and really no one has any idea if it's even truly on the table.

I think largely the problem currently with SPACs is there is so much interest that nearly any notable SPAC is growing in value no matter what info is out there, so it's another "stonks only go up" type situation with people just dumping money based on an internet whisper and somehow it ends up working.

My ND was just fine until fairly recently. Lost cat. Someone egged my car. Yard sale this weekend.

Then some neighbors started talking about national events, and had their posts deleted.

This spawned a virus of censorship/free-speech/moderator-oppression posts that are self-fulfilling. Taking them down (discussing moderation in the "general" thread is not allowed) spawns more outrage. Leaving them up lets more people fester, foment and hivemind on what victims they are.

It's extra messy because there's a local development that has the ND community up in arms and they're using toxic emotion-based posts to get attention. Deleting them for being unneighborly ("lawmaker didn't acquiesce when I emailed him, so he's corrupt and ought to be locked in jail!") is mixed in with the above "oppression" discussions.

In the end, giving /everyone/ a voice back to /everyone/ creates a cacophony of outrage that has made me appreciate the curated content that we (used to?) get from newspapers.
The tl;dr didn't help me because "the concept of site is difficult to apprehend" doesn't summarize anything. I was looking for a takeaway like "tl;dr -- 'Site' includes other subdomains of your site as cross-domain, while 'Origin' doesn't. Use SameSite=strict for the most safety".

If I got that wrong, it's because I didn't finish reading the post. I quit around "what do we mean by 'origin'?" because it was clear there was a lot more background to go and not clear I would learn anything practical.
These browser war threads always attract the worst kind of pundits: ones who have strong opinions but no idea what they're talking about.

So as someone who trys to follow food safety, high levels of Arsenic in rice based products is entirely not surprising to me.

Consumer reports[1] (and others) have been discussing the high levels of Arsenic in all Rice grown in the US (even organic). Its in the soil from previous growing methods (older pesticides I believe).

On the other hand, lead, mercury and cadmium in these foods is news to me...

Unfortunately, this is not a Pakistan specific thing. Ahmadis have been persecuted in pretty much every major Muslim nation. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Ahmadis

Yes! That's what I love about Factorio. The world scale is right for its setting (even if mines could use a scale-up). Trains, when I first saw them, blew my mind completely.

Stellaris is a funny example, because I feel it has the reverse problem - the scale of the map is somewhat right (even if the galaxy is ridiculously small), but the speed of the game makes it hard to feel. On top of that, intra-system scale is completely wrong, and planets, as you said, feel super tiny. Also most planets are completely useless.

It would be fun - even if out of scope for Stellaris itself - to see a similar game where the solar system view is more of a schematic map, but planets actually orbit their Sun, and were real-scale - i.e. you could zoom into them Celestia-style. And see your puny little orbital habitat, with a huge Earth-sized planet in the background. Slow down game time to wall-clock rate, and you could almost imagine your empire's citizens living there, seeing what you see through the windows of their home. And perhaps you would then turn your camera towards flashes of light far beyond, knowing they come from a space battle millions of kilometers away.

It would be just a gimmick, but wonderfully immersive.

Just an example, in my area of expertise. Some of the rejected edits were mine.
In addition to speed and guaranteed price a SPAC merger also has less reporting requirements, because the SPAC already did go trough the IPO paperwork when it was created. And didn't have to explain weird things about the business to investors because it had no history or things to be going on. It then can relatively easily buy 23andMe, and 23andMe doesn't have to explain its business risks etc to the public as much - which could have been an issue and risk to the stock price given the history of probes about medical claims etc.

It is not true that Signal domains are visible in plaintext on the wire between the user and the proxy.

You can spin up the proxy and check yourself.

Alternatively, you can ask yourself "why go through the trouble of setting up a legitimate ca-signed certificate if Signal domains are already leaking in plaintext"? The whole point of the ca-signed cert is to make the traffic blend in. Why go through that trouble when a simple regular expression could identify it?
>> where you need long-term transports

I've always thought that factorio should have bulk transports, things that arrive after multi-hour trips. There are a handful of mods that tie the character into an external economy. Rather than the survival scenario, I think Factorio 2.0 could be based on taskings surrounding the arrival/departure of transports. Rather than "build the rocket" the task could be "have 200k of blue circuits ready for the arrival of a transport in X days." Changing up the tasking would allow for truly different factories to be developed. I'd love it if the game suddenly told me that I needed to switch from one end product to another, any excuse to delete an entire factory and build a new one optimized for a different goal.

This is similar to the Situation with affordable care act in the US. I think max vs min age premiums are capped. Which means old people get a deal, and young people overpay. If people paid their true cost to the system, insurance would cost $50 if you are 20, and $2,000 if you are 70.

The same thing ultimately happens here where the young and healthy leave the public pool, leaving the older and sick. As rates go up, the cycle continues.

I don’t see how anything except a $0 for everyone really works. Otherwise you just have people gaming the system (like the 50 year old in your example working a year of low paying job to qualify)

23andMe gets to IPO immediately without having to go through a lot of the regulatory work that would normally happen in a direct listing because the SPAC acquiring them is already public. This means they can get a good percentage of the normal cash infusion with half the hassle.

Those creating the SPAC get a discounted price on the stock they eventually take public, but for the bill via increased risk they might not get a good company.
As a chemical engineer, I must say that I was never disappointed with the content of the Wikipedia pages. Of course, as I have spent 3h/day for the past 15 years improving fluid phase equilibria calculations for the chemical industry, I see where the articles have limits for this stuff, but what is available is sound.

I would be interested in knowing your field of expertise where you find errors.
I believe a SPAC might be cheaper and has less obligations before "going public" that an IPO.
I didn't read the entire report, so I may have missed it, but where is this stuff coming from? It seems to say that the final product has higher counts than the raw ingredients, that's a result of... concentrating all the stuff I guess?

I'm not sure exactly what the correct set of actions for Apple is in the Pakistan case, but I don't feel these two are all that similar.

In that case Apple broke no laws. The FBI very likely did not have the legal power to compel Apple to break the phone’s encryption. The FBI issued orders to Apple, Apple legally disputed the orders. Apple's actions in disputing unjust orders is allowed under US law.

Versus this case where the Pakistani government does, unfortunately, have full authority to pass and enforce this law as harshly as it wants.
But once you have your pitchfork, what's next? Most produce contains levels of heavy metals due to soil conditions that in many cases cannot be remediated without extreme expense that renders farming economically unviable, but even then, even relatively pristine soils still yield produce with eyebrow-raising levels of lead and other questionable substances.

Not attempting to defend the food industry here, but I also don't really see an obviously viable path to remediating the situation.
