The first one is what we've always referred to as a Vegas club, primarily focused around bottle service. Literally over half and sometimes even more, like 90%, is dedicated to tables. I really wouldn't say that's the norm for most people in America. You really won't find clubs like that outside of a few major cities like NYC, LA, Miami and of course Vegas.

But every city has nightclubs that are more of a mix of the two. The dance floor being the main attraction for most people, but they will still have a VIP area with tables and bottle service that takes up maybe 10% max of the floor space and wearing a suit would make most people assume you are coming from a wedding.

Music is normally an infusion of electronic and hiphop. In a lot of places they will have a different dance floor that's more focused on a particular genre for the night be it deep house or 80s hair bands. IMO that's 95% of the clubs people are attending in the US.
> The energy isnt wasted though, the safety of the trustless transaction is proportional to the expended energy. While not the source of value, it is a necessity, not a waste.

This would be somewhat true if Bitcoin were the only mechanism for trustless transactions, but there are others that consume far less energy, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala.
The suggestion was that he visited it on a trip before WW1, possibly related to the Switzerland trip? And most importantly, it would be marked as Austro-Hungary territory at the time.
I've seen similar infoboxes that are completely and outright wrong by taking excerpts out of context.

For example, I searched for "How to do Y"

The google infobox says "X"

Clicking into the article to find the more explanation, and I read "X is never the right way to do Y, you should do Z instead"

I've seen this happen enough that I literally cannot trust those snippets.

A bit of an absurd, exaggerated example, Google search (or ask your Google Home) "Is the moon made of cheese"
Thanks to the HN search function I found my comment from the first time this page was linked over 4 years ago:

At least the site's anonymous author cherrypicks some biased but reasonably true statements to make instead of spreading opinions and misinformation. I'd still like to see entries for some elephants in the room like "Subversion is far slower than Git in important operations", "Common failure types corrupt Subversion working copies" and "Locked files interfere with team workflow".

Rereading the same page now I get a much worse impression of bad faith rather than mere bias. But who would make such an effort for a technical issue like Subversion vs. Git, rather than for a definite commercial or political interest? Could it be a case of unusually delusional opinions?
Yes, once EVs have matured they will keep their value after adjusting for subsidies (there are lots of stupid articles that don't understand why a used EV with 0 miles goes for 5k less than a new one). However, this should make financing a car more predictable.

It's better to own something that costs X amount per month than to get a steal and have unbudgeted surprise expenses if you are poor. Exploitation happens when someone is unable to make an informed decision because of information asymmetry.

"prod-web02" implies that this is the second web server in a cluster of web servers. That makes a lot of sense in 2021, where "prod-web02" is likely an AWS instance or a docker VM that is doing nothing but serving web pages, and which exists in some cloud server where you will never see the physical machine it is running on.

This was written in 1990, though, and there was no cloud, and VMs were quite rare things, (and we had to walk to school uphill, both ways, in the snow). Machines were physical things, and no one had the budget to buy an entire computer to be the second production web server - a machine ran a lot of different daemons that did a lot of different things, and the roles and responsibilities of a given physical piece of hardware would change as time went on. Which is still true today, but today it's just that a machine runs a lot of docker containers instead of running a lot of daemons, and we don't care where the docker containers are running, whereas back then we very much cared what machine it was running on, because sometimes we had to go to that machine and reboot it or kick it or install more RAM.

At the time, I was working at Alcatel (before it was Alacatel-Lucent, before that became Nokia), on a 450Gbps switch which was used for things like routing satellite TV feeds or handling distribution from big fiber backhauls, or running LANe for small nations. On the third floor, we had several racks of these switches in "the lab" which we used for testing and development work. While you could push a new software load from the comfort of your desk, if you borked things badly enough you'd sometimes have to go downstairs and plug a serial cable into the front of the control card so you could go poke around and force the card into a sane state.

So, when a new hire came in, they might say, "Hey mrweasel, I uploaded a bad load to Spock, and it's stuck in a boot loop. Where can I find that physical machine?" And you'd say, "Head down to the third floor, turn left out of the elevators, walk to the second last row of racks. On your left there should be switches named "Picard", "Riker", "Deana", etc..., and on your right should be "Kirk", "McCoy", and friends. Spock is third on the right between McCoy and Uhuru."

That conversation is way more confusing if all of these machines are named "test01-test20". You couldn't even name them that - there were lots of different products in different areas of the lab, so you'd need the product name in there, and they'd be "rsp7670-test01" through "rsp7670-test20".

And, when you want to push a new build from your desk, it's way less likely you'll mistype "picard" when you want to update "data", but it's quite easy to accidentally clobber "rsp7670-test05" when you mean to overwrite "rsp7670-test06", which was sure to summon an angry developer to your desk asking why you just killed their 48 hour validation testing, 45 hours in.
Seeing the salt mines was one of my highlights of my trip to Poland! On my tour any Tolkien connection or inspiration wasn't mentioned, fwiw. Would love to go back when travel is reopened.
No, it's valuable because people trust that others will buy it. That trust is somewhat motivated by Satoshi's protocol, but it is much more motivated by simply seeing that others trust it.
Broccoli is not a "trigger food". That's usually simple carbs, sugar, fat. These facilitate binge-eating in every way. I don't think binge-eating is defined specifically as eating to the point of it being painful, it's overeating to the extent it's habitual and difficult to stop.

I got off LibreOffice myself to OnlyOffice. Docx support wasnt that impressive.

One thing I wanted to ask to you since you seem very experienced with LibreOffice is how much effort and money is spent on ODT and other formats. Why not simply use and improve docx like we do with pdf?

Second, Is Libreoffice's goal is to be MS Office's OSS clone? If not why? MS Office is quite good and the potential office apps users are mostly non-programmers.

I know PDF is by adobe and Docx is by microsoft.

those errors. As a frustrated Android user in 2010, I used to think the
general population wouldn't be able to figure out smartphones. Boy was I wrong.
Can you read favicons from JavaScript or from the server side? I know you can set them from JS, don’t know about reading.

If so could you use steganography to encode a unique ID into the icon itself, then read it back to retrieve the fingerprint.
This is certainly my experience from Eastern Europe. A few party hungry people hires one of the "hollywood director style" villas for a few thousand for the night, and have a one-night ad hoc club there.

If you're looking for concrete resources with steps on how to perform threat modelling, I've used the Microsoft SDL Threat Modelling tool/process [1].

Parent comment is likely getting downvoted for its tone, but they've kind of got a point....the hormonal changes underway and the sociopathic clique-power games going on at school do indeed often combine to make many girls quite standoffish at that age.
If the Work is easy and doesn't consume much energy, than it's easy to forge. This is true even if 1 BTC were worth 1 cent - the cost (in Watts, not dollars) of mining doesn't depend at all on the price of BTC.

Instead, if BTC weren't worth much, people would likely just stop mining, and the transaction speed of the BTC network would grind to a halt, further driving down its value.
A server can be around for years and years why being different. For instance my main debian package server has been "basson" since 2003. In 2003 it was a large, old SGI server; later on it became a 1U rack server, that was replaced a couple of times; nowadays it's a VM. But the internal sources.list still points to "basson" :)

ML diagnosis could actually be worse for us overall, as we might find more harmless cancers and subject people to more unnecessary tests and treatments. Iatrogenic harms are real, especially when ML gives us only diagnostics, and never any treatments.
If black under-representation among NFL coaches is attributed to racism, why not black over-representation among NFL players? The skills in playing and coaching have some overlap but are not the same. The mental component of coaching is much larger, and blacks do tend to be under-represented in cognitively demanding white-collar jobs, a pattern that is consistent with lower average education levels and standardized test scores.
The motivation to run FreeBSD in a VM on my M1 MBP comes from being an active user of FreeBSD for a long time. For example my mail, web and VPN server runs FreeBSD. And I have been running FreeBSD both on desktops and laptops for a long time as well.

The motivation to make a guide for others to follow is that it should be useful for others too.

What I am saying is, when it’s useful for others it’s worth spending the time on writing up how to do it and share it with others.

Not sure I follow what you mean.
It's a huge incentive for more power, not for any particular kind of energy. In fact, the value of BTC is actually putting a floor on how efficient it is to close down a fossil-fuel plant.
The downside here is that it doesn't support private toots. It would be nice if you can subscribe to anything in the fediverse then mastodon could create a private feed for you.
to elaborate on the second, since it's a scene I identify with. For me, these clubs are culture. You listen to the music, follow the djs and select the venues for the artists that are playing. You come for the experience, not (just) to seek a sexual partner. I am in a healthy, non-open relationship and I am just as drawn to those nightclubs as I would have been without. You dance, dance and dance and get lost in the music, the abstract space the artist is creating. It's very unfortunate that those places are not recognised in germany for their cultural focus and therefore don't get the protection other cultural places do. These clubs can't really go commercial, it kills everything they stand for. The clubs and the scene usually has ties to the local art-scene, that's why many double as art-spaces by day. It's the only thing they can do without loosing their identity, but unfortunately art-spaces are also not big money-makers.

They also have strong ties to the LGBTQ-community are important for them as spaces where they can freely express themselves.

I don't think many politicians can really understand the idea that a nightclub can be culture, just like concerts, museums and art-spaces. A focus on something other than profitability.
> Why has the virus not raged incredibly in locations with fewer mask mandates?

You mean a location like the entire US? It has raged incredibly. Don't fool yourself into thinking anywhere in the US, mask mandate or not, actually has a high rate of mask usage.

The only way to do any sort of comparison would be the US versus another country which actually follows a mask mandate. Even then, the comparisons are hard because those countries likely did lots of things right.

> Requiring them outside “in public”

Yes, masks outside are dumb in many situations. But, this was in direct response to people just moving their large parties outside with no distance. Unfortunately any time a rule is not spelled out in great detail, people look for loopholes as a form of protest. Ironically, this leads to rules spelled out in symbolic and authoritarian ways.

Author here. The table-maker's dilemma is a problem if you insist on correct rounding. However, interval arithmetic does not require correct rounding. It merely requires rigorous error bounds. It turns out that a lot of the time when people ask how to obtain correctly rounded results, they are actually asking the wrong question, and what they really need is just error bounds.

This is why Arb has a lot more functions than MPFR: it's extremely difficult to implement correctly rounded functions as required by MPFR; Arb's contract (returning an error bound) is far easier to satisfy and works just as well 99% of the time.

From a software development point of view, the problem with correct rounding is that it doesn't compose: given correctly rounded functions f and g and correctly rounded input x, f(g(x)) is not (in general) correctly rounded. In interval arithmetic, the corresponding composition law (the inclusion property) does hold; this means that you can compose arbitrarily complicated functions without thinking.

The last time (before the pandemic even) I looked at glass and acrylic/polycarbonate sheets for a project, the glass was cheaper for a similar size. Maybe there are other plastics out there that are cheaper, but I'm not sure that they are suited for similar use. If they are suited to this type of use and are cheaper, then someone can make a good fortune if with the right marketing.
Exactly, TDF hires only admin staff, leaving the actual development to volunteers and other companies.
It's explicitly conspicuous consumption, a way to signal one's financial status to others without having to wear expensive clothes, watches, shoes, et c.

In my city I'd suggest a big change that was already happening before COVID-19 was that you'd go buy fancy ice cream instead. You can listen to current music, hang out with your friends, buy something you don't really need, late at night, but because ice cream doesn't cause humans to become stupider and more violent it causes much less trouble so the ice cream place doesn't have a constant war with the courts and police over the excess crime.

The ice cream shop does shut a bit earlier than the nightclubs (midnight versus 0200 or so) though.

More than machine learning what the author seems to be touching upon is algo amplification of Content/Info. Just look at the never ending amount of content propped up and recommended by Netflix, Youtube or Twitter. And ofcourse good ol HN.

No one seems to have the capacity anymore to stop or control the flow. The info, all info must flow is just another way of admitting no one knows what the hell is important.

Whatever attempts are made to curate or control it will be half baked cause seriously who the hell knows anymore what is important or not. Who can keep up? Expect librarians and curators to start forming cults and jumping out of windows if you buy Borges handling of the story.

It is scary how the expectation is that Chimps with their 6 inch brains have to then navigate this vast ever growing ocean without any real authority figures left to guide them.

He is sort of right that science fiction hasn't really covered the info tsunami problem much.
"Machine learning" is a terrible name for what is much more accurately labeled: "computational statistics". There is no reason to expect magic from this field, and we won't get it. Other avenues to intelligence, learning, and thought will need to be explored.
"There is fundamentally no way to reduce bitcoin or blockchain energy
consumption, it is the very thing which enables decentralized trustless

Why would I want to engage in trustless transactions in the first place?
All desirable social relationships are based on trust and always have been.
I think a need for trustless transactions implies that one or more parties
is not trustworthy, so why would I want to transact with them?

Great success, you manufacture more, whats the problem? The problem is usually unwillingness to do the physical work and superiority complex. Soldering is for children in Asia.
