This sounds like "having a job on the side" only far less profitable. Being an author is like being a musician, there's a handful of superstars, a few people who make a living (by working their tits off), and hordes and hordes of people who might occasionally make some money, but still need a real job.
Hell, in Australia, even the (comparatively) superstar musicians have day jobs.

Developers that have experience creating native applications are used to writing code that manages the application state and it's relation to UI interactions and data updates. In native-land, the UI frameworks are primarily the UI widgets and all of the application logic is written by the application developers in their chosen language. The corollary to this for web development is that HTML and maybe a few specialized graphics libraries like D3.js provide the UI thingies and the application logic (event handling, data fetching, etc.) is written in Javascript.

I'm not familiar with the Facebook website but I can't imagine that it needs any particularly complex application logic under the hood.

SRTM3! It's all available from the USGS. I'm in the (slow) process of upgrading to SRTM1, which offers 3x better linear resolution, so 9 'pixels' to each of the current 'pixels' I have now. The drawback for me, though, is that the file storage requirements are 9x higher with the higher-res data

They say "This has a positive effect on the energy field of the cells which, from the outside, encourages a better functioning of the cells."

Yes, this is clearly a fraud. Cells don't work that way.

"The presentation shows individual measured values from three independent tests with 4 samples each."

12 samples is a stupidly low number, and of course there's no information about what they measured, how they measured it, or anything like that. Of course they probably just made up the numbers anyway.

The "can't read from any other machine" is handled by making sure (this includes testing) that the volumes are readable with dmraid. At least that's for SAS/SATA applications. I'm not sure about NVMe, as it uses different paths in the IO subsystem.

Why do you assume no good reasons when there were obvious economic and political incentives for the attacking parties in said "modern, useless wars" conflicts?

Note it doesn't have to be one obvious incentive. A government has many parties with differing incentives. But sometimes, a lot of those parties stand to simultaneously benefit from a war.

I guess we could go through a challenge. You set up a Stripe page or some such thing and someone else can set up a BTC wallet. I will spend a dollar with my CC on your Stripe site and I will spend a dollar equivalent to that BTC wallet.

Then I will make two other secret transactions with the CC and the BTC wallet. You can each then try to identify the targets and the sums spent in the secret transactions.

Whoever identifies gets some sum of money from the other. I'm happy to escrow for you.
I heard this as the only way to get China/India to voluntarily start doing their own internal carbon program.

Essentially, you charge them when they try to import into your country a tax to account for that. They come back and say "this tax really stinks...how can we make it stop"? You then reply "start your own carbon tax and we'll remove it". They then have two options 1.) Pay a tax to another government, or 2.) Take care of it internally
I don't think you're understanding the point being made. It's not simply that bitcoin consumes energy, but about the economics of renewable energy infrastructure. Building a renewable project large enough to power an entire city during peak hours often does not make economic sense because of the large fluctuations in consumption. But, if you have a bitcoin mine that you can flip on to consume the excess energy during off hours, suddenly the economic viability is completely different.
Canada seems like it has plenty of land left to build on.
None of their major cities come close to the size of US cities like Dallas-Fort Worth or Chicago.

Any attempts to limit the inflow of Chinese investment will fail. And the more aggressive the government gets, the more Canadians are going to get caught up in it by accident.

Chinese people are willing to pay massive premiums for houses and high property taxes, all while not utilizing any of the services those taxes are paying for. Canada would be wise to start incentivizing construction in out-of-the-way places specifically to accommodate these investors. Otherwise, these foreign investors will use their extensive capital to find legal loopholes and will continue to focus on "safer" bets (read: Vancouver housing).

It's exactly like the problem with DRM: being aggressive just hurts legitimate consumers because hackers will always find a loophole in the system. So the best course of action is to give customers exactly what they want with minimal friction.

Funny that you bring up Mexico because Mexico's system is similar to what I'm proposing: special economic zones and other incentives that ensure that foreign investment flows where the government wants it to.
No horse in the race on either side here but just to answer the devil's advocate: it's pretty easy to imagine a future where China could establish a trade blockade of Taiwan, putting the US in the position of "potentially start a war, or go without Taiwanese goods" -- that's like the diplomatic equivalent of a Fork[1]. If you depend on it, and you can do it at home, you should.

And "but what about ______, then?" (e.g. rare earths, fab machines) does not mean that all other "______" (e.g. chips) should follow suit. You control what you can.

That's one. And as I mentioned above, the uncertainty factors are pretty wild. Because some individuals within a species may more vulnerable to a toxic than those tested, the standard practice is to move the decimal point for the lowest/no observed effect dosage one place to the left. And when you're using animal studies, it's standard practice to account for inter-species variability by moving the decimal point to the left another digit. If your data was at all suspect, they will apply another uncertainty factor (though usually less than a full order of magnitude). And always, the adjustment is in the direction of being more conservative, notwithstanding the fact that humans are frequently more resilient to toxic exposures than small animals, not less. An order of magnitude is a big deal when dealing with very small exposures. Two orders of magnitude starts to become completely unmoored from reality. How conservative we are in the face of that intra/inter-species uncertainty is couched as "science," but it is TOTALLY a policy call. And it has real world impacts. For large manufacturers, an adjustment factor of half that much frequently means the difference between no pollution controls and tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars in pollution controls. I find that where you land on that uncertainty has nearly perfect correlation with your politics.

The context to this is the EPA's toxicity assessment on PFAS chemicals ("forever chemicals"), which are a family of chemicals shown to stay in the environment and human body for extremely long periods of time. Under the Trump administration, the EPA's toxicity assessment on PFAS essentially provided polluters leniency on how much they could release.

Consequently, these chemicals are showing up in significant numbers in drinking water & food. Since they are proven to have damaging effects on human health, this assessment is now being reevaluated. The lesson from all this is that depending on where you are and how you use tap water, the regulations might not line up with what's good for you. Use a water filter.

Taiwan is a great ally. But if a war breaks out between US and China, Taiwan will likely be the first casualty.

Nothing against Taiwan or anything. Its just the bloody obvious "first strike" move. China will almost certainly attack Taiwan as part of an offensive-strategy vs the USA.

Having fabs on this side of the Pacific Ocean is important for strategic defense reasons. Of course, the US should move to defend Taiwan in that situation, but if worst-comes-to-worst, we'll need a way to produce chips under such a scenario.

This story is about Samsung however, which is South Korean. North Korea now has nuclear weapons, as well as tons of artillery pointing at South Korea.

For the Samsung-side of things: same thing. South Korea are great allies, but if the North Korean war ever gets started again, Samsung's production inside the US-proper would be a strategic advantage.
Because expiring/detonating messages are not valid security. Signal even warns of this:

https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007320771-Se...

If Charlie is selling drugs to Bob and Alice, expiring messages don't help Charlie out if the others are finding ways to capture data on the screen before the message expires (which, is very common for very innocent, non-malicious reasons).

Similarly, though I've not tested this with signal specifically, other chat apps' implementations of expired messages can be futzed with by simply disconnecting the phone from all network connections.

People who need true privacy, regardless of the reason, aren't using chat apps readily available from stores since the apps only prevent passive snooping, they do nothing to help establish circles of trust. Such business is either conducted out in the open without concern for who sees what (you can see this in countless pictures online when people openly sell stuff like weed), or such business stays off chat apps completely because there's no way to validate who is holding the phone on the other end. The transactions occur indirectly using proven safe methods for the courier and buyer (dead drops, mail tricks, etc)
Austin is the "new" SF and it's happening on a shorter timescale which is probably going to create an even more dysfunctional local political system.

I know so many friends and colleagues that have moved to Austin from SF over the years to escape the issues they have with SF (mostly around trying to raise a family, poor schools, high coast of homes with any real space, etc) but it seems like Austin might just slingshot past SF in terms of issues.
Zoom backgrounds work by some sort of machine learning to identify humans while the Photo Booth backgrounds just did a diff between an initial image and the current image, and displayed anything that was different.

- Static site served normally from (and generated to) webroot

The task is bigger than I would personally consider doing unpaid, and I think that is the problem being identified here. It's an assessment of Public Speaking skills that don't immediately seem to be related to the job - I'd judge the company harshly for this.

But, if I had agreed to do this (if it was a paid, professional task), I would find the setting out of expectations extremely useful and appreciate it.

I want to know what to expect, so I can prepare for it, i.e. spend less time preparing for the unknown elements.

More precisely, "I can eat it therefore it has value" is a component of the demand.

"I genuinely believe that a hedge fund will be forced to pay me lot to take it off my hands" was a component of the demand for GME recently. Unfortunately this belief was not well founded, and so many buyers of GME did not realise the value expected from their purchase of GME. Of course, there is also demand for GME because it is a company with substantial assets which can plausibly return profits and pay dividends in future years, it just happens to be a lot less. The only people for whom peak price GME was worth what they thought it was worth were the people who got >$250 out of entertainment value from watching it fall.

All market prices are whatever people think its worth, but individual buyers can derive much more value than that price, or make mistakes and derive much less value.

I don't think that people talking about "fundamental value" have missed the fact that supply also affects price. I think they've avoided missing the fact that people valuing an asset based on predicting others will want it even more in future can be wrong. And that investors who are good at predicting assets other people might want more in future tend to look at intrinsic properties.

> When the US government rules it illegal, or enough people collectively lose interest, btc will no longer have value.

Recall that for the first 2 years of its life, bitcoin had no market price. Bitcoin acquired a price because it has value to some people. That is, its having value preceded it having a price. What that should tell you is that even if a lot of people lost interest, bitcoin would still be valuable. The key insight arrives if you figure out what is valuable about Bitcoin that caused btc to acquire a price.

I created an ebook[1] and made about $2,000 in the real estate category. Getting it written, transformed into an ebook format and in the amazon / smashworld store altogether took a christmas break 1 1/2 weeks.

My secret was I didn't write more than 5% of the book. 95% came from discussion posts written over the years on one of my website forums.

I still get orders.. I'm still in the top 500 small business / real estate books in canada. This was written in the 2012 and lives on.

I would encourage everyone to publish at least one book. But don't actually write it yourself that's insane amount of work for the expected return.

I could understand if the cost of electricity people have spent on mining and transactions were higher than the sum total of current value of all bitcoins mined, et the current exchange rate to, say, USD.

I think it's emphatically not the case.
A maximum of 178 things on the planet can consume >= to the electricity of Bitcoin.

99.44%/0.56% = ~178 (according to their estimate of 0.56% global use). So for the many comments invoking rhetorical comparisons: Bitcoin mining value per watt can be compared to no more than 178 things on Earth. Are we really saying there are only possibly 178 better uses for global energy than doing double SHA2 for no material value?

Bitcoin is wasteful.
This should bring into question even more Signal's implementation of using real phone numbers for accounts. It is NOT privacy focused.

Even if this 'hackability' is an issue only with the security of the phone/hardware - able to be hacked and thus reach the decrypted signal messages - That also means, that person's Signal contacts also have their real identities exposed.
