The network adjusts the difficulty (number of prefixed 0's in the hash) based on estimated mining capacity based on a running average time to complete previous blocks. There is no "on time" to reach the 21 million cap. All those "calculations" that would be "distorted" are those of the hedge fund managers who are holding strictly out of speculation.

There is no way to prove an entity hasn't been mining on the side, capable of mining blocks faster than the main chain, even keeping up with increased difficulty, and any day they could publish their chain to the network, and it would be accepted as it was the longest chain. This would obviously destroy bitcoin, so the only reason to do that would be pure terrorism. Exploiting a 51% attack to double spend would also destroy the trust, so any attacker in it for the money is currently just mining empty blocks and getting rewarded for it, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop them.

Once the 21 millions coins are all in the wild, transaction fees will need to be enough to entice them to keep running... otherwise, they cash out and burn it all down. If they aren't capable of burning it all down, perhaps the number of people validating transactions on the network goes way down... and the difficulty goes way down... until eventually all those old people from the mining days could turn their machines back on one day for a much easier 51% that they are now capable of.

The whole thing is a mess.

But the thing is it's not really standardized or stable in X11 either, most client-to-client communications are done through various window properties which are not technically part of the protocol and support for them varies between window managers. If your window manager doesn't support it then it's the same, you have to hack the window manager's internals. Honestly, whatever advanced feature it is that you want would be much better achieved by creating a kwin script or gnome extension and then going from there, I believe there is work underway to stabilize some APIs for both of those but as with X window managers, there is a lot of functionality there and there is no guarantee they will stabilize exactly what it is that what you want.

Inspired by Wim Hof, I've started doing short barefoot snow walks. Within days, even between multiple walks on the same day, my feet became more cold-tolerant.

They now recover from the cold faster, stay warm in the snow longer, and when I'm indoors, my feet are no longer cold without socks.

My feet used to be cold to the touch and feel cold subjectively without socks.
The first priority is to examine the rocks there, and Perseverance is stuffed to the gills with scientific instruments to do just that. But there's no way JPL can squeeze every kind of instrument from every kind of lab on Earth into one rover. If we want to get the most out of our trip to Jezero, we need a way to bring some rocks back here. And yes that does mean a second trip to the same place.

We could send human geologists to bring the samples back (though they could obviously pick up rocks themselves), but sending humans to Mars is both more expensive and more uncertain (it's been on the agenda many times but is always vulnerable to budget cuts due to the price tag and long duration of the program).

The only other way to do it is to send a robotic sample return mission. Why do it as two missions to the same place instead of one? Because a fully kitted-out scientific rover and an ascent stage together would be very heavy, requiring a larger rocket and probably a different entry, descent, and landing (EDL) mode. Mars EDL is hard: gravity too high for an easy powered descent like the Moon, atmosphere too thin for an easy aerobraked descent like Earth. The current "sky crane" EDL mode does not scale well to heavier vehicles. So we can't just send an ascent stage with Perseverance, and a near-future there-and-back-again mission couldn't feature a rover as capable as Perseverance. The best compromise is to find the most interesting samples with a top-of-the-line scientific rover, then send the ascent stage to get them later.

And yes, this uncrewed return mission is planned by NASA/JPL and ESA [1]. The current concept involves two launches: one sends a lander with an ascent stage (and possibly a small rover to fetch the samples, or Perseverance could do it--it depends how soon the ascent mission gets there) and the second sends an Earth return stage to bring the samples the rest of the way home.

Hypothetically how long would it take the country that produces most of the computing hardware in the world to simply direct all their factories to build mining ASICs as quickly as possible while not exporting any more GPUs? Of course everyone would know what comes next but I am just curious.
Gebru proposed discussing a resignation date. Google fired her immediately.

> In P-B-39, the claimant gave notice on October 24 that she was quitting effective November 15. The employer permitted her to work only until October 31. The Board held that the claimant was discharged...
> > In other cases, a claimant may give notice of resignation which is contingent upon factors within the employer's control, such as hiring a replacement. The employer does not become the moving party by securing a replacement. The separation is still a voluntary quit.

> This sentence makes it seem like California is one of those jurisdictions.

She didn't provide a legal notice of resignation for California law, because she didn't specify an end date to her employment. Therefore the sentence you've cited doesn't apply. That's more to cover "I said I was quitting on the 17th if you as the company don't hire this person", and trying to claim that the otherwise voluntary quit was a termination because the company "had a choice".

> It really seems like if your planning on suing your employer for wrongful termination, giving them a good reason to terminate you is a bad idea. You could always get those emails later via subpoena.

Maybe, maybe not. I've seen wrongful termination cases play out in favor of the employee only because they made copies of the relevant emails. A company that's already committing illegal acts terminating someone doesn't always comply with the discovery process the way they should.

I'm not familiar with the medicinal uses of rhubarb, but cinchona is the source for quinine.

Weirdly, the only link I can readily find in the article to a source talking about the medicinal uses of cinnamon is an ancient text where I can't even readily parse what language it is in. https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/463727#page/178/mod...

That's perhaps intentional given how up in arms people get if you actually discuss medicinal uses of plants. This article merely discusses the history of the monopoly on "true" cinnamon and some of the reasons for it, not actual medicinal uses.

I find it very weird how uptight people are about this. I mean if you know plants that get used in your diet can have medicinal impact, intentional ignorance on the topic seems to be a really bizarre policy to pursue. Yet that seems to be how the world mostly works in relation to such things.

> For screenshots or screensharing, please use the xdg-desktop-portal API. That should work correctly in X11, Wayland, and within a sandbox.

This does not allow one to write a screenshot application; this has a protocol that allows Flatpak applications to requæst that the compositor take one and as far as I know it only has support to take on from the entire screen.

Most compositors also have the ability to take such screenshots outside of Flatpak; this simply moves it inside of it.

The “screenshot issue” with Wayland is not that compositors can't take one; it's the lack of an the a.p.i.'s necessary to write software that can take one.

> For generating fake inputs, a library is being worked on called libei, that also should work in X11, Wayland, and within a sandbox.

I could find nothing on this on the internet.

> For controlling monitor outputs and open windows, those APIs are different because each compositor has a different set of features for what those mean. Generally you should not be using random applications to configure monitor outputs, only your compositor's configuration tool is going to be reliable there. Applications that need to set custom resolutions can use the viewporter or use fullscreen-shell.

And that one “should not do this” yet this is supported and used by many on X11 would be one of the missing features that would lead to Wine developers not being interested in a Wayland port.

> Worst case scenario if you need to duplicate parts of the code for all three, I don't think that's a problem. Just put it in a library if it needs to be re-used, the only alternative there is that upstream maintains the relevant bits of that duplicate code, which I'm sure you can see why they would be reluctant to do that.

The problem is that these per compositor a.p.i.'s are unstable.

GNOME extensions and KWIN scripts work by allowing one to directly hack the internals of the compositor in unstable ways; they are much like kernel modules and they break from version to version.
UO was incredible. I learned ASM and how to use a debugger because of that game. Released open source tools to patch all 100+ versions of the game client. Some day I'll make a proper sequel.

They're always out there, so their bodies adapt.

Interesting. From my experience, coldness of feet is correlated with blood circulation.

What you are saying is not correct; the xdg-desktop-portal API is not tied to flatpak, it has support for individual windows, it's generic and can be re-used by any sandbox, and it can also be used outside a sandbox. (Snap I believe is using it and it should be not too hard to get it working in other tools like firejail either) Using it has the benefit that your application will also work inside a sandbox and doesn't need to have additional code paths for X11 and wayland and for the sandboxed case. See here for the description of libei, it's not ready yet but is being worked on, and should have a similar design that allows it to work correctly in a sandbox: https://who-t.blogspot.com/2020/08/libei-library-to-support-...

In almost all cases, Wine should viewporter or use fullscreen-shell to set custom resolutions for specific programs, the only reason you would need to allow wine to have access to an xrandr-like API is if you wanted to run your monitor configuration tool from windows, which I strongly doubt people are wanting to do that. If you are using GNOME/KDE, the GNOME/KDE control panel is always going to be the most reliable way to configure that.

Yes you would need to track upstream and keep up with their unstable APIs in order to write such a library that but that's no different than if you asked upstream to do it, they would just be doing that in their tree. (In some cases this is what they do anyway with the xdg-desktop-portal) In any case you would need to be more specific about what it is you want because just saying "implement everything from X11 exactly the way X11 does it" is not useful, that's never going to happen, so let's focus on what actually it is that is needed.
