I've done heroin a handful of times and enjoyed it. The last time I did it was laced with fentanyl and I nearly died. I don't agree with everything in this article but I've lost so many friends to laced heroin, and they were addicted and I really believe they would have somewhat normal lives after their addiction. The demonization and misinformation surrounding the drug is staggering, I wish we treated it more like alcoholism, for a lot of people it's not instant addiction, but for some one sip or snort and they're on an isolating and destructive path that could kill them. People don't have a way of knowing the equivalent of one shot of alcohol in heroin because it's illegal. There is no way for most people to consistently and rationally use it and most people have no interest in doing so. But for the minority who are going to throw caution to the wind (which at one point in my life included me) I strongly believe we should remove as much risk as possible
I don't quite get why everyone seems to get onto the environment train with crypto but seem to have had no issues with gold
Drugs have a pleasure effect on the brain. Food does too. So do experiences or playing sports. Winning a sports game feels exactly the same as doing cocaine. Issue with drugs is the risk. Risk of damage to your body or your mind. But the other activities have associated risk. For example, I ski and including back country. I risk avalanches and injury. I've broken a rib and have countless other injuries. I have friends with permanent injuries and have seen deaths on the ski slope. No one says skiing is a national problem.
This should be illegal
Sorry, I won't belabour the point further, but I guess the point is the client's corporate tax exposure in the country would have to be assessed client-by-client how using employee/contractor. At any rate thanks for responding and best of luck here.

They did think about it, and decided that libertarian fantasies outweigh environmental impact.

I think the ratio is likely much greater than 1% simply because what most people consider an "abduction" doesn't include "non-custodial parent took off with the kid(s)."

Child abductions seem to suffer the same problem as "mass" shootings. Most of the research is being done by people who have a vested interest in making them look common so they create a definition that includes a bunch of stuff that most people wouldn't consider to be applicable (gang/drug violence in the case of mass shootings, non-custodial parent taking off with the kid(s) in the case of child abductions).

Of course if the goal is to prevent the named event using a watered down definition that mostly captures other stuff to build your data sets is not going to build you a very informative data set for that goal.
So they’re hamstringing normal cards (to protect gamers of course!) and releasing a “new” card without the hamstring at a higher price and we’re to believe this is simply to protect gamers and not a money grab?
Doesn't appear to exactly be in line with the APA guideline you posted, which suggests capitalizing "White". Though they recommend against using "Caucasian" and recommend using "White" instead.

To quote the link you posted:

>"Racial and ethnic groups are designated by proper nouns and are capitalized. Therefore, use “Black” and “White” instead of “black” and “white” (do not use colors to refer to other human groups; doing so is considered pejorative)."

However, the NYT:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/05/insider/capitalized-black...

>"The Times also looked at whether to capitalize white and brown in reference to race, but both will remain lowercase. Brown has generally been used to describe a wide range of cultures, Mr. Baquet and Mr. Corbett said in their memo to staff. As a result, its meaning can be unclear to readers; white doesn’t represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does, and also has long been capitalized by hate groups."

Edit. Side note. Maybe I should write to the NYT and tell them I'm a White African and they're not representing my cultural and historical identity!
I don't have any insider info but there is absolutely no chance that the dish is costing them even <2x what they are charging for it. I don't really see how their business model pencils out even assuming massive oversubscription, perfectly geographically distributed customers, and the new laser links. It's just hard to make it work when your satellites fall out of the sky and need replacing. The technology certainly works and is really cool to see as an engineer, don't get me wrong, but even Musk businesses will eventually need to make money. For Tesla, their path to profit was steep, but feasible; here I just don't see it at all.
I used Next.js for the first time (on a real project) for my course about React hooks [1]. I love it now! I used to create my React projects with Parcel [2], but I’m pretty sure Next.js will now be my default stack to start a new side project.

Only downside I see: a Next.js app using functions or server-side rendering is not easy to deploy somewhere else than on Vercel [3]. And Vercel is great (even with its free tier), but if you don’t like it, you’ll have to do some manual work to deploy your app.

The tone is dangerous? What does that even mean?

The article is an interview with a Heroin user. It's as dangerous as an interview with a sex-worker. The interviewer even seems to bring up some interesting counter-points to the interviewee.

In the end, the interview is just providing a voice for the person getting interviewed. Are you saying that interviewing people who might do harm to world is dangerous?
Michal Kalecki: "I have found out what economics is; it is the science of confusing stocks with flows".

Can we not have financial journalism with apples-to-oranges comparisons like "Nonfinancial private sector debt alone now makes up 165% of the entire world's economic output".

The lead paragraph has "well beyond what economists have called untenable in the past", without commenting on the fact that this swiftly abandoned consensus about unsustainable levels of debt was based on the incompetent analysis of Reinhart and Rogoff. (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_in_a_Time_of_Debt ).

There might be a real issue here, but this is bad reporting.

> River Neris goes through Lithuanian capital Vilnius and there is a great concern that accidents can contaminate the water.

A power plant needs access to water for cooling. Belarus is a land-locked country without access to sea, so all of its rivers also flow through other countries. Its watershed is divided between Nemunas, Daugava, and Dnieper, which have Vilnius, Riga, and Kiev situated on them. It seems like there's no place you can build a power plant there without risking a potential contamination of water which would then run through a capital of another state.

Also, Lithuanian Ignalina power plant was using the water eventually getting into Daugava river, running through Riga, a capital of the neighboring Latvia. I can't see why Lithuania itself thinks it's ok to risk potential contamination of water of a neighboring country capital, but not ok when someone else is doing the same to them.
Considering that we still haven't exactly perfected U-238 technology in 70+ years, when exactly do you think we'll be able to separate and use things like Np-237 or Tc-99? Is there even anyone seriously working on that? There's a reason so many people are actively working on better containment technologies, and I don't think it's because they're dumber than a bunch of HN dilettantes.

It's still not that easy to assert on some of the keys in a dict but not others, especially if you only want to assert on some of the keys nested inside that key, and so on. There are a few other cases that perhaps don't come to mind straight away, many to do with having complex rules for what is allowed to be in another thing.
In perspective, yes it is. In a normal year you might expect M2 increase by 5%. Last year was special, of course. People are acting as if hyperinflation was right around the corner because M1 just doubled, ignoring that M1 quadrupled in the ten years before 2020 and that it didn't cause hyperinflation then either.
That's not actionable though. No one could predict what has happened with COVID and no one can predict what will happen.

I hate that I wasn't able to get a 30x series because miners grabbed them. I hate that my preorder was canceled by the supplier on the day it was supposed to ship, just because a farm had a better price.

But guess what Nvidia? I no longer want your products. As much as I may dislike the fact crypto is affecting gaming (rendering, machine learning...) I can't help but ask: Who in the holy F are you to tell me what to do with my product?

I take it back actually, I'll buy one to use instead of toilet paper. Fix THAT with a bios update.
Yup, last time Tether traded as a significant discount(Oct 15 2018) BTC price on bitfinex went up $1500 and on coinbase it went up $700. This was in the depths of the bear market with price around $6200 too.
Alright, I'll add a caveat: "assembly language is the most general for a particular architecture".

> It's the higher-level languages that are more general.

This is still false. Rust, for instance, is higher-level than C, while being less general - the borrow-checker constrains you from being able to do certain things. Haskell is even higher-level and even more restrictive.

The most general "programming language" is a Turing machine. Not coincidentally, it's also the least useful, and nobody programs in it.

This reinforces my point that "more general = more useful" is false.

>but it does mean "hey, take a small team and do your own thing with less oversight and process overhead from higher-ups".

If you are interviewing for a "startup in a big company" job, one of the first questions you should ask is "how much oversight and process do we have from the larger company?" Make sure you ask a lot of questions about how decisions are made, who the product is being built for, how it is being sold, etc.

I've worked in two "startups" in two very different big companies. In both situations, the every major decision had to go through the larger org, which meant basically the whole thing was a waste. The only things that were approved were things the big company was already doing.

I'll provide a concrete example. I was involved in a product where our people had to work with the larger account execs of existing customers. The idea was the account execs could take the product to existing customers easily and grow very rapidly. What really happened was the account execs refused to put the product in front of customers unless it fit into the larger enterprise architecture strategy. They didn't need a startup - they needed a typical huge enterprise software team. So basically the product that got built was a completely half-baked POS that only looked good on slides. It was a market failure.
"Money is made up therefore it serves no purpose" is just a bafflingly implication. Care to provide any detail at all about how your moneyless society is going to work?
> Tether wouldn't exist if Bitfinex was able to cash out dollars on demand.

Is there evidence of this, ie. mass reports of bitfinex clients not being able to withdraw?
I stumbled on this site last week and anecdotally I can confirm that disabling Keystone helps. I was driven to find answers after no longer being able to hear people on Zoom calls because of the fan noise from my 16" MBP. I got sick of having to wear noise cancelling headphones when Chrome and Zoom turn my laptop into a space heater.

The Keystone thing though, it's not a panacea. It seems to fix the issue with WindowServer running away with the CPU, but Chrome is still pretty terrible. I decided to just deal with the switching cost and stopped using Chrome altogether. It has made all the difference. Switched to Firefox and I'm not looking back.
Why? You can always make your own GPU.
For this sort of thing I bounce back and forth between targeting C vs
ASM. C is so universal and there are so many tools you can
use to harden it. On the other hand, you're still using a big ol'
abstraction layer between C and the machine. On the gripping hand, CPUs
are doing so many things under the hood now that ASM can be
considered an abstraction layer obscuring the actual machine, so you kind of need a modern compiler to have a hope of taking advantage of all that without doing a ton of research.

Over on the "αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε" page ( https://justine.lol/ape.html )
there's a subsection called "x86-64 Linux ABI Makes a Pretty Good Lingua Franca"
it seems to me to be a reasonable suggestion (although I've never like
x86 myself.) You can bundle an x86 emulator with your code to run on
other architectures.

I like the Project Oberon 32-bit RISC developed by Prof. Wirth as a
target. It's really simple for educational purposes. (Meaning you can
more easily teach more people Oberon RISC than, say, RISC-V. ALthough
see the "Selfie" project: https://selfie.cs.uni-salzburg.at/ "An
educational software system of a tiny self-compiling C compiler, a tiny
self-executing RISC-V emulator, and a tiny self-hosting RISC-V
hypervisor.")

There are many emulators for Oberon RISC already, including one in Javascript, so
you can run the old Oberon OS in your browser! Launch an emulator with a
disk image from here: https://schierlm.github.io/OberonEmulator/
Be honest. I make a habit of having gaps in my resume. I like to take some time off between jobs. It's a luxury, but if you can swing it, it will do a lot to recharge you and get you ready for your next role.

If the gap is fairly large (say over six months), be prepared to discuss what you were up to during that time. Hopefully it's something interesting, but it doesn't have to be something related to your career path.

To your actual question: I see no issue with bouncing between roles. If anything it shows flexibility and a diverse interest. You'll fit right in at small to medium places where folks frequently wear many hats. Plat it as a strength.
I've actually often used booze to power beyond sense and get extra work done at the end of a day, however there is a HUGE proviso - it has to be design work, or stuff that I know inside out and could do blind-folded anyway. Anything to do with programming or logic and I became a useless head-scratching moron, going around in ever tighter circles of stupidity.

Design work though? There was many a time I awoke the next morning and had a dread-chill panic thinking I'd need to get some project done, only to find I'd not only done it the night before, but I'd actually not hate it. Which, as a designer at the time, was high praise. Sure, there might be some rough edges or stupid typos, but the overall work would be Great, by my standards at least, so after a quick review, would be ready to go. I used to refer to it as 'free work'.

I guess letting go is more of a useful trait in design.

I'd not recommend it for doing work in critically-important fields, obviously!

We did think about it but wanted both the simplest possible consensus model and the widest possible distribution of coins, which led us to Proof of Work (geared to lower-power ASICs) and fixed block reward. Proof of Stake is much more complicated, is subjective, and doesn't provide for coin distribution.
Segmentation has always left a bad taste in my mouth. I had to buy my 3090 (for gaming and video production) secondhand NIB because nvidia was playing dumb with prices.

Usually the amount of crypto that can be mined in a given time frame is limited. So you could buy more hardware, but it would not be profitable.
Everything I've learned from working remotely for a year
it is annoying they limit their drivers this way but ultimately this is in response to their core customers' frustrations. Nvidia is trying to segment their products so that the video game market can get their cards without dealing with the boom and bust cycle of cryptomining.

I somehow doubt these drivers will be enough to stop it, however.
The plain view from Steinberg is alleviating. C - and also C++ - are reliable tools for system and application programming. I think Rust is interesting and I see how C++ develops even further covering a bewildering broad range of low- and high-level programming features.

Jumping on the next buzzword language or promising tool? No thanks. Languages like Java, C#, JavaScript or even Go are not itself secure but tools with different features. And another sort of own issues. You will face stack overflows, one-by-offs, missed checks and a lot of bad exception handling and a mad garbage-collector. This doesn't even cover most of our own logic programming mistakes - the most important category. Often people don't know how their tool actually works. What I've learned, good results are only achieved with much and steady work. And well designed APIs prevent problems.

Regarding tools, one big improvement is the address-sanitizer in GCC and LLVM. I'm so thankful for this :)
I’m sure I’ll be called crazy for this, but the true solution to oppressive societal forces is personal space travel and colonization. When it becomes possible for a small group of people to fund their own “opt out” and escape into outer space, individuals will regain some bargaining power.

Obviously this won’t happen for centuries. But on the timeline of “future human existence”, it’s really not very long at all. I see this as an inevitable outcome of technological development, even if the Private Ownership of Spacecraft War of 2346 is bloody. That gives me hope for the future.
Safari has a very decent JS engine, so I don’t think that’s the problem.
The bigger problem is that Macbook fans are incredibly noisy. Fan noise is a non-issue on most other laptops. I do agree that chrome is highly unoptimized. Sometimes I wonder if the Chrome team themselves use it as their main browser or not.

It's a seller's market at the moment, so an easier "cash grab" would just be to increase the price of the base card to the higher price.

No, I think the belief is that they need to keep at least a minimal base of support among gamers and developers, for when the inevitable crypto crash comes and they need to go back to their original customer base
This was my thought too. The entire leadership of Texas is under a massive PR crisis, so they pass a bill that accomplishes nothing in practice but sounds really good and tough.
It simply means something different in the US vs Europe.

It means something different to you. The US is a big country, and your understanding of the left is pretty shallow and certainly doesn't speak for the whole country.

That you say the left is centered on ID politics is evidence that you're out of touch with leftist politics. I would venture to say because there's not a loud leftist voice in the mainstream media.
Chromes multiprocess model and arena memory allocators have a massive impact on memory use... But they are also a big security win.

Any browser with a small memory footprint you should ask yourself "if someone manages to find a buffer overflow in this thing, will my bank password be sitting adjacent in memory because the memory allocator is trying to save RAM rather than being security conscious"?
I feel so lucky to buy RTX 2060 two years ago. It's still a good card if you're not doing 4K gaming, and right now it costs more than when I bought it.
