Whatever is going on in Vancouver, it isn't effective (at controlling rent prices)
I would argue that article authors generally are paid indirectly by the institution which employs them. Most scientific publications are authored by academics or members of research labs who are specifically paid to publish. Of course, pay is not directly tied to each publication, but that is what most authors are paid for. At least in my institution, contributing to the peer review process is also an expected part of the process to achieve tenure. But the incentive is certainly far less than the incentive to publish.
> Gab had long provided commits at https://code.gab.com/. Then, on Monday, the site suddenly removed all commits—including the ones that created and then fixed the critical SQL injection vulnerability. In their place, Gab provided source code in the form of a Zip archive file that was protected by the password “JesusChristIsKingTrumpWonTheElection” (minus the quotation marks).

Hopefully this eliminates any doubt on Gab's real mission. It isn't free speech.
There is an official way to get RDP connections to Windows Home edition systems, Windows Quick Assist: https://community.windows.com/en-us/stories/windows-quick-as...

Obviously it has far more restrictions than enabling RDP on Pro systems, but that's because it's clearly designed with Home users (average consumers) in mind.
Trader Joe's tofu based chorizo is also in this space and is amazing as well. If you want something that makes for good "grounds" but don't need it to literally be hamburger then a marinated block of tofu will probably get you there.

Also wanted to share my overall positive experience with Clickhouse.

UPSIDES

* started a 3-node cluster using the official Docker images super quickly

* ingested billions of rows super fast

* great compression (of course, depends on your data's characteristics)

* features like https://clickhouse.tech/docs/en/engines/table-engines/merget... are amazing to see

* ODBC support. I initially said "Who uses that??", but we used it to connect PostgreSQL and so we can keep the non-timeseries data in PostgreSQL but still access PostgreSQL tables in Clickhouse (!)

* you can go the other way too: read Clickhouse from PostgreSQL (see https://github.com/Percona-Lab/clickhousedb_fdw, although we didn't try this)

* PRs welcome, and quickly reviewed. (We improved the ODBC UUID support)

* code quality is pretty high.

DOWNSIDES

* limited JOIN capabilities, which is expected from a timeseries-oriented database like Clickhouse. It's almost impossible to implement JOINs at this kind of scale. The philosophy is "If it won't be fast as scale, we don't support it"

* not-quite-standard SQL syntax, but they've been improving it

* limited DELETE support, which is also expected from this kind of database, but rarely used in the kinds of environments that CH usually runs in (how often do people delete data from ElasticSearch?)

It's really an impressive piece of engineering. Hats off to the Yandex crew.
Ah, I see, you haven't figured out why the gold standard was terrible either.
No, you have changed the subject from what governments will ban to what an individual private firm does.

If I had said no private automaker will exit the ICE market over the next 9 years, then your response would have been on topic. It would also have been a strange thing to say since we know private firms exit markets all the time. That Chrysler is still in business stuns me every day, they should sell off their truck business and shut down the rest. Trucks and SUVs are the main things that US firms compete in now, as the personal auto market is so thoroughly dominated by Japan and Korea.

For example, Ford announced it was exiting the personal auto market (https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/ford-stops-making-cars/). Yet that market remains. Volvo, always a niche player in the personal auto market but one of the most successful truck manufacturers in the world, split off the personal auto division and sold them to various foreign firms, none of which could make volvo cars turn a profit, and ultimately they ended up owned by a Chinese holding company. I wish them well, maybe they can turn things around and this new focus is what they need. The much larger and industry leading Volvo truck business, OTOH, was not sold off, and has made no announcements to exit the ICE market. That's how markets work. We want entry and exit to be as free as possible.

As it stands, you are responding to something I didn't say and trying to debate points no one is making. I said no major government will ban sales of ICE vehicles in the next 9 years and any promises to do so should be viewed with the same credibility as all their other promises on CO2. In fact, has even a single promise been kept? So now we are back on the topic of governments keeping promises, not market actors responding to market incentives.

But if you really believe promises by governments to take action in 9 years when all the previous promises were ignored, then go ahead and believe.

In some sense these promises work if they make you feel better now and help win elections today - it is politics-as-therapy - and they do no harm to the economy in that they will be ignored. Which is not to say that ICE is here to stay -- but it will be economic concerns that dominate the discussion -- how much cheaper/faster/more convenient is the replacement not because of government promises to overrule the market. Those should be viewed purely as therapy.
This does make one wonder about an architecture that has 4 or more identical processors hooked up to the same inputs and two watchdogs watching them (and each other). If any processor starts disagreeing with the rest it is instantly reset. If any processor starts to draw too much or too little current it is reset. If either watchdog stops responding to the other it is reset.

Keeping the working data synchronized would be the real trick. One could imagine all of these CPUs are hooked to a single bank of redundant and ECC stabilized memory, and all access goes through the watchdog processes which will only let through the ones that are in agreement.

The end result could be a system that is lighter and faster than the traditional RAD hardened system simply because it's built on a smaller process. The downside is the enormous complexity of the watchdog systems, they would be very expensive to get right. Also, synchronization is one of the hardest problems in computer science. It's basically cache invalidation on steroids.
You're discounting the whole problem the bitcoin solves because of speculating. Since dawn of time there have been only 2 types of money, token and ledger. Bitcoin came around and created a third type of money and the genius of it is to do that it had to create a new concept of time. That's the cool part that the article goes in depth about. I'm sorry but it's hard for me to believe that anyone who read that article can go back to "speculation" arguments.
Damn awesome work! Out of curiosity do you have paying customers yet? I was working on a similar thing in this niche and found it hard to find customers who were willing to pay
I stopped eating meat in January 2018 and I can honestly say the only thing I miss is a Big Mac! This is VERY good news for me and a long overdue!

That being said, whilst I do love a Beyond burger, here in the UK, I was surprised to hear it was Beyond that McDonalds selected for this. While in Orlando 2 years ago, I tried an Impossible burger for the first time and it was incredible. The size, texture and taste would be perfect for McDonalds (Big Mac). Still, I will be all over this once it hits UK branches!

AI Recodes Legacy Software to Operate on Modern Platforms
"Last year, IBM demonstrated how AI can perform the tedious job of software maintenance through the updating of legacy code. Now Big Blue has introduced AI-based methods for re-coding old applications so that they can operate on today’s computing platforms.

The latest IBM initiatives, dubbed Mono2Micro and Application Modernization Accelerator (AMA), give app architects new tools for updating legacy applications and extracting new value from them. These initiatives represent a step towards a day when AI could automatically translate a program written in COBOL into Java, according to Nick Fuller, director of hybrid cloud services at IBM Research."

Amazon/walmart/google throwaway account people: whats the holdup on fixing fake/fraudulent/spam reviews? Is it a tech problem or do people not care to fix it (perceived small benefit to cost)?

Thanks for the details. I remember the capacitive screens. They were awful! :)
The payment provider layer is the part that ordinary people worry about when they're looking at transaction fees, security, censorship, and privacy.

If Bitcoin isn't a payment provider, then why should I care about it? It's more expensive and slower than ACH is. It's being converted into normal currencies and tracked by the same companies that are making payment providers today. What is it solving?

All of these payment providers that are being built on top of Bitcoin are going to have the same regulations, restrictions, and problems as the payment providers that exist today. If Bitcoin isn't capable of replacing them (and there's every indication that it is not), then it's not going to have a tangible impact on how and where I can spend money online.
Dude... the stock market is not the same thing as the banking system.

How your investment porfolio reacts to a change in monetary policy has nothing whatsoever to do with the utility of your checking account.

Trust in centralized financial institutions is not a problem. In fact it's is the opposite of a problem, it's an enormous benefit. Centralized financial institutions with government backing ensure the availability and safety of deposited funds.

Nobody has ever had their bank account drained in the US since the introduction of FDIC in 1933. In the last 10 years alone, over a billion dollars in bitcoin has been stolen out of people's wallets by hacked exchanges and smart contract exploits, money that can never be returned because blockchain is irreversible by design. Does that really sound trustworthy to you?

Typescript doesn't exist at runtime.
Right. I know it works with numeric indexes in Pascal. My point was that (using my previous example) in Ada it works with any discrete type, in that case characters (which are not numbers in disguise in Ada) so I can do this:

Histogram : Character_Histogram;
...
Histogram['A'] := Histogram['A'] + 1;

(Ok, a bit more work because I didn't initialize the histogram to 0.)
If you fly over the country, you will see a bunch of green circles from center pivot irrigation systems mining "fossil" groundwater. All the brown spots outside of those circles are vegetated, but the only way to get human food out of them is grazing. By necessity there will always be a large amount of cattle grazing area. Feedlots should be ended as a practice- wasteful of feedstock and poor quality and nutrition of the output.
Oh iOS is way worse from what I can tell. I don't consider it a viable computing platform so haven't bothered trying to make my software run there.

But Android seems to be working hard to "catch up" to iOS.

I'm mostly comparing to native Linux development. Obviously you may need to make some changes for security, but I feel like they've gone way overboard with things like forcing the storage access framework/media storage APIs, killing even foreground services (doze mode etc), and so on.

At the end of the day, if you're using software to purposefully limit what hardware is capable of, I think that's wrong. Even if you're worried about security, add a simple escape hatch for power users.

My follow up question would be: Would a capacitive touch screen with 0.5s latency have made this the killer feature? Or did the capacitive touch screen enable high speed input?

I'd argue the latter, but it could be a question of framing?
That's exactly what I mean by cut. As the filler gets better (which is certainly the long game for synthetic meats) you can keep upping the amount as long as the end user can't tell. You're very right about diminishing returns and not needing to eliminate meat fully though.
And yet this is the way to create money - money is what we believe other people will want and will give us something valuable in exchange. It only works because other people also believe in it. It started with shells and gold and other collectibles - and we still collectively manipulate the price of gold in a kind of sustained flash mob. It is all circular - but it works and when you want to create a new kind of money you have to do the same trick again.
Keep in mind that a lot of lightning end-users would have private channels that are truly peer-to-peer, so number of users is likely much higher than any public stats you could gather.
> What's the point of a philosophy that is impossible to live up to. Nobody audits a substantial fraction of their dependencies.

It's a choice to be ignorant of your dependencies, not a law of nature.

The fact that most people don't audit code they depend upon is a problem to be fixed, unless the underlying code is fixed first.
Code intake technique aside, in this case "typosquatting", the root of the problem is developers that are tasked with writing code choose instead just use others existing work without EVER reviewing nor understanding every line of that 'copied' code. While this code reuse technique has existed in many forms since the very first software languages were created the internet has just exacerbated the code sharing problem. As the world is coming to learn day after day that easy is not secure and if you copy code one better "trust but verify" however most people are just lazy. Here is a post I made 11 years ago and rest assured this "people are lazy" security compromise technique has been around a lot longer and will continue to prevail well into the future.

Intel Ordered to Pay $2.2B in Damages for Patent Infringement
On a related note, I've become a gigantic fan of Slonik, https://github.com/gajus/slonik, which simultaneously (a) makes it extremely difficult to expose SQL injection attacks while (b) still letting you write SQL in a very "natural" way using template literals.

It takes advantage of a somewhat-not-well-known feature of Javascript template literals in that you can apply functions to them, e.g. sql`SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE id = ${userEnteredValue}`. No need to manually escape userEnteredValue, the sql template literal function does it for you.
For example, if the rest of the world adopts BTC as the world's reserve currency, the USA would HAVE TO purchase crazy amounts of BTC, and defend against a 51% attack by investing into mining.

Meanwhile, the USA could try to preempt this future, but only the USA is incentivized to have USD be the world's reserve currency. As such the USA would need to threaten every other country in the world to stop using BTC, but its not clear if that causes BTC adoption to drop, or the Streisand Effect to kick in.

And ofcourse, "mutually assured destruction" stops any large country from employing too large a threat against any other large country.
Taco meat [EDIT: in Taco Bell's usage] is a perfect application, since its texture is already squishy and the flavor is dominated by spice. Plus, it's wrapped in a shell and mixed with lettuce and other things. Even a mediocre fake meat is enough to pass. Beyond Meat should have no trouble producing a virtually-indistinguishable taco meat.
All of the sudden - I get it. These co's are dealing with a really shitty, commodified form of beef that they'd love to develop an alternative to. So the immediate benefit is they get to serve vegetarians, but the long term is they can transition off their price-above-all meat supply chain.

Impossible meat with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, etc., tastes just like a beef burger to me. If impossible patties were cheaper than beef patties at the supermarket I would definitely buy them.
I can confirm it compiles with the latest Visual Studio and runs fine on Windows 10 in both 32-bit and 64-bit. (Well it did last time I checked, haven't tried the very latest release.)

>They had a monopoly on power, they built an unjust system, and I will firmly put all arising strife on their unwillingness to treat people of other races as human beings.

>African Americans during the broad civil rights era. You are talking about the KGB, right?

>I assure you, when your society has no-n_____ water fountains

Look that's the problem, i NEVER said that skin color or religion (especially muslims...remember the hate after 2001, but also jews) is not a problem in your country, again for me there is no race just humans. But ATM it's white vs black etc, that's the opposite what Martin Luther King said like "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that", atm your countrymen create borders between community's which creates a downward spiral, and the profiteer is for sure not "we the people" but we the media and the party (the two same ones) which can profit out of it and in the meantime easily maintain the status quo (both the democrats and the republicans...they have the exact same goal, they just play different so you have the illusion of choice).
Rather than trying to encourage people to substitute the ingredients in their meals, I wish we'd encourage more healthy habits and work life balance.

So many people are either pressed for time or incapable of preparing a decent meal. If they aren't ordering takeout, they're falling back on boxed or prepared options.

Simply substituting fake meat for real meat isn't improving anyone's lives.

fredfoobar _was_ being facetious. By his comments such as [1] and [2] it's clear that he's trying to attack other things in the world that happen to be both useful and pollutant, and induce a parallel between them and bitcoin — his implicit argument being that bitcoin supposedly a net-positive beneficial thing in spite of the pollution it causes. Whenever someone counters that assumption, the mask falls off and he's back on the attack [3].

That does not invalidate the point that cars _are_ highly pollutant and shouldn't be the primary means of transportation in any sustainable society.

This is awesome.

Could a js transpilation of a dos emulator be used to get this to run well in a browser? It would be cool to have a text mode spreadsheet that works in a browser and could be self hosted.
I have never tried Beyond Meat and maybe I should give it a try but I am hesitant because of my experience with Impossible burgers. Obviously they must taste similar to meat and be tasty to the majority of people, but to me they taste nothing like meat and are quite disgusting. I know a few others that have the same reaction while most people at worse seem to think they taste like a low quality burger. I wonder what is in them that causes some like myself to have such a negative reaction to them and how large that percentage of people is.
