If skin in the game was a guarantee we would have no crime. Spammers, astroturfers, and scammers already spend real money to get their message out for their purposes.

Real name polices already failed at their stated purpose even after people losing their job over tweets and Facebook posts was a well known things. Whatever fee people would be willing to pay wouldn't cut it. Hell it didn't work even on the infamous SomethingAwful!
The Martian is pop-fiction pablum, it does not stand up even in science-fiction, a genre notorious for its lack of literary quality. He made the big $$$ so good for him. Pablo Coelho, Dan Brown and Stephanie Meyer did the same though.
Yes. I've especially had terrible luck finding pages I remember visiting before. This made me wish they hadn't gotten rid of full text history search in the browser.

So now I try to save important stuff as markdown notes so I can search them with vscode later.
I've watched a video from Jordan Peterson where he interprets it as a criticism of identity politics. Honestly, I think you can get whatever you want from most of these kids' films.

Just because it's non-Newtonian doesn't mean it's identical to oobleck. All it means is that it's not Newtonian.

Besides, you can run on water (or at least, some lizards can) at high enough speeds, though I'm not sure if water still behaves Newtonian in those situations.
Where can I find info about the online dating situation? I had never heard of this.
HIPPA is going to lead to a lot of deaths, but you'll never be able to prove it. If Doctors and Nurses aren't allowed to hear about patients after they transition to another floor, department, facility, how are they supposed to have the feedback required to improve the standards of care?

ER staff used to keep tabs on their patients with other staff, to see how they were doing, and now they aren't allowed to do so. It's the road to hell paved with good intentions.
Putting all of these files at root is going to be like have old rusty cars and stained mattresses in front of your house years from now.

Thank you, that has given me a new train of thought to ride.
It doesn’t even compares with the war crimes of the IDF alone, without even getting into the other aspects of the occupation of Palestine.
Couldn't we have a publically owned ISP? Also Starlink is already subsidized with public money to the tune of $900 million. Seems we are getting the worst of both worlds. We pay to build the infrastructure with public money but as a public we don't own any of it.
“ The intrinsic value of a US dollar comes from the fact that the US government is saying that these specific pieces of paper and metal are special.” <—— the US government is not inside the pieces of paper, so it is an entity outside of the pieces of paper, therefore it is something extrinsic to those pieces of paper.
The reference BLAS in Fortran is indeed slow. I'm not aware of any tuned version in Fortran. It might be possible to re-write the BLIS structure in Fortran and get reasonable performance on, say, Haswell, but not on SKX, if we talk x86.
Objectionable content aside, I would agree that outside of the Gundam Build shows, the quality of that list is pretty poor and there was absolutely _nothing_ in the market for Super Robot fans. TTGL set a really high bar.

Ireland is also a tax haven, but sure, they're benevolently investing in their home country, that's totally what it is.
Yeah, but the crypto world is dominated by fraud. Things like Tether where they print billions of 100% unbacked tokens claiming they're backed and then use the money to wash-trade between exchanges all day.

Not to mention that centralized exchanges are an exit scam waiting to happen.

Most people could not participate in blockchain without dealing with a criminal onramp. (Bitfinex, for example.)

Seems to be a what to do about this bad thing rather than what to do about the causes ... As such the article lacks depth but it's lengthy so might be informative to the authors ingroup audience and probably a start towards real positive change and empathy.

Versioning: 3.1, 3.14, 3.2 — why not?
3.1 < 3.14 < 3.2

Was just watching release notes for v3.2 and I have v3.14 — and (for a moment) thought that I have an older version... because 3.14 < 3.2

It can be compared mathematically (thus sorted) and still be semantic:

— 3 — major release

— 3.1 — minor update

— 3.14 — patch

— 3.141 — tiny patch

Is it used anywhere or what am I missing?

It was 60 satellites spaced together very closely after they were ejected from the rocket. From far away they look like a bright line just like the pixels of your monitor look like a line (even though they are just dots).

You tell me why/how it is breaking the "government's monopoly on monetary policy, since it's your example.
My dad had an Atari 800XL, and typing in the games is what got me interested in development as I got older. Even in my early forties, typing in code from a book gives me more understanding than just reading code already handed to me.
That's the exist everyone gives: "everybody else is doing it"

It's still immoral.
I've been struggling with context. I fight for Google to know I'm talking about Rust the language and not the game or the oxidization.

"Rust Vector Drain" really struggled today.

I'm a bit surprised that Google isn't prepared to remember context. "User has been looking at a lot of Rust Lang so let's promote those kinds of results"
It's some 2 to 4 years off the end of the correlation on that first graph.
It's not clear why "armor" is part of this. It seems like if someone is firing on you in one of these you've already lost.
> As that process occurred, the value of the weapons would spike as scarcity took hold

This seems implausible. The number of guns used in crime is in the tens of thousands each year.

The number of guns sold this year was more than 20,000,000.

The number in circulation is greater than 400,000,000.

Even in Australia compliance with gun buybacks wasn’t much more than 50%, and they didn’t have a second amendment.

The idea that Guns will become scarce in the US any time soon is simply unrealistic.

As for the 10,000 glock, that situation is also just a fantasy.

In London criminals can simply rent guns, fairy cheaply but with a high deposit. They only discard them if they fire them in a crime, otherwise they return them and get their deposit back.

This way, even just one gun can be used by hundreds of criminals at minimal expense, and with little risk of being caught possessing an illegal weapon.
To avoid paying taxes and customs on the car, which can add up to quite a bit.
Because cops don't really have so much free time that they can just suddenly detect a smuggled car and pull it over. Unless the cop car has plate readers or a read BOLO match the smuggled car's description, they can't really know anything about the car as long as all of the other gov't issued stickers are up to date.
Between the search engine getting worse over the past few years, and the failings of the history/search built into Chrome, and the loss of RSS and Delicio.us a while ago, the web seems to be less and less useful as time progresses.
Actually, I've argued the opposite in the past. Any file that is of any significant size is already compressed: images, audio, video, gifs, PDFs, game map/save data... even documents (and by extension, spreadsheets and presentations) are compressed these days (because they're... zips! It's zips all the way down). Compression in your zip archive implementation is unnecessary complexity at this point.

Compressing archives most only makes sense if you have some huge (many many millions of lines) set of source code because that's a lot of data, more than one file that you want to compress, and low entropy in those files. Only in that combination does zip with compression make sense over uncompressed archives or compression without archive format.

Of course, zip can shoehorn both functions that you usually don't need together into one format and we're usually not CPU-bound anyway so I totally see why you might as well always apply a small amount of compression, but I would beg to differ if you say "it's basically useless to have zip without compression support". There are more cases where zip with compression is completely redundant than cases where it helps you.
That's not either, slave is not always a "replica" of the master, only in some contexts.

And a master does not even need a slave (like in the github case) - so git's master is not even like the master (who had slaves) that people are offended about.
And, if it holds (cite please because I really don't believe the top parent), it probably only holds in the US in gun ownership areas that are predominantly non-minority. And probably only to certain levels of gun ownership.

Once you start getting enough gun ownership, you start getting the "Who's the bad guy?" problem when there are conflicts. And the cops won't be terribly restrained if the gun owners aren't white.
They never implied anything about motive. Really, why does motive even matter? Opposing motives can meet on the same positive result. It happens all the time with humans; whether it's two friends, or a corporation of 50,000 people, or a nation of 300 million.

Your pessimism seems to ignore the fact that this is a good thing regardless.
>Language adoption was already a thing before the rise of GNU and BSD in the late 90's.

Yeah, but not for Eiffel :-)

>I will love to see the world where such programmers get paid 100% the same way they are willing to pay for their tooling.

Aside from those language devs getting paid (which core dev teams for otherwise given for fre/ FOSS languages like Java, C#, Swift, Go, etc also are), what else would change?

Paid/proprietary is orthogonal to better languages/tooling. If popular compilers/apis were paid, we could just as well get the same commercial crap, lack of interest, bloat, needless novelty, etc. that we get with most paid proprietary software and hardware.

And even worse, since they would be both out of reach for amateurs/students/developing world/etc, and crappy "enterprise level" for the rest, driven by what sells to pointy hair bosses, not programmers.
It might be a bit of an exaggeration, but not by a lot. I think there is a heavy dose of magical thinking in it, and plenty gold bugs really, actually do seem to think there is something special about gold.

I even once got into a discussion with someone on a science fiction forum who's belief in gold was so absolute that he thought it would inevitably be the foundation of all interstellar commerce, even with alien species because gold is so unique it's one thing everyone would inevitably agree on being a universal store of value.
I'm not really into either "mecha" (or anime for that matter). But man I loved "Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot" in the U.S. in the 1970's. (I know, I know — it was "Giant Robo" in Japan.)

Like "B movies" this was "B television". Easy to dismiss — but having seen the series again (with horrible dubbing) as an adult, I can see now why young me was attracted to it: there was an attempt at a story arc across the series with the robot becoming more human and less machine-like by the end (in fact, disobeying a direct order in the final episode).

There was something kind of weird and wild about the times when small, independent television stations across the midwest would try to go toe to toe with the "Big Three" by importing "Speed Racer", "Ultraman", and other bargain television from overseas for the after-school time slot.
Oh, so you were referring to my person?

In that case any further discussion is probably pointless as you seem to resort to personal attacks and at that point you are close to Godwin.

I'd return the compliment though, as you do not seem to have comprehended what point I - or for that matter mrfusion or the mentioned article - was trying to make but you seem to be too entrapped in your ideology.

Fair enough </thread>

If you completely change your response after my reply you of course distort the context once more.
It's an added benefit. That's good, no?

Or are you saying all Irish businesses are bad because they are based in the tax haven.

If you don't invest in developing your home country, which country should you focus on? Or we can throw a dart at a map and choose whatever country the dart lands on?

It used to be very efficient, but now, if you don't type the exact word in full with the exact spelling, it will not find it.

The most annoying is sometimes when you only remember half of a name or first name that you are looking for. (Note: assuming that it is not in your contact list already)
Do you have a source for this? I mean besides the author’s name. I’d love to read more about that. I’ve recently start taking my writing seriously, but I feel like this is what I’m tending towards if I’m not careful.
Interesting point I saw on this site a while ago - most people are well trained to work out hourly compensation by time spent working.

By that metric, ignoring hair loss, you and your coworkers earn the same per hour.

Let's flip it and measure something else of value. How much free time you have left over.

After all overheads (work, sleep, commute, chores) 1 extra hour worked per day can be a 25% reduction in your free time. What is that worth? How much are you selling that 25% for? Would the overtime or pay rise be worth this?

Sometimes you just need cash in the bank even at a poor exchange rate but I think it's useful to look from different perspectives.

Yes. It's great for finding commercial products and absolutely terrible for anything else.

1. Find some obscure subreddit

2. Scroll until you find a slightly sexist/racist etc. comment

3. Paraphrase and make a few vague connections based on your cherry-picked reddit post

4. Conclude with more sweepimg remarks and the assertion that "nobody knows what to do", despite there being no material in the article to back up that statement.

RocketLab just announced they intend to build a rocket they're calling "a purpose-built megaconstellation building machine", but they're not planning to launch until 2024, and reportedly still are evaluating options for engines.

Google search over the past 5+ years: result quality getting worse overall; relevant results pushed further and further below ads/sponsored (now on page 2); privacy issues wider and deeper.

I recall being amazed at the seeming clairvoyance of their search results up to about 2014. It seems like when they reorganized under Alphabet, the division of responsibility became sharper. Alphabet to Google: you are an _Advertisement_ company. Your goal is to get as much info as possible on all people so to target and sell ads for maximum profit. The search engine, and other Google products, are to focus on that goal. The other innovation stuff may be done some by you, but we'll shift a lot to the other subsidiaries. I think the clarity and narrowing of purpose is wise, from a business perspective.

As a consumer, though, I've switched to DDG.

Greenwald: The Leading Activists for Online Censorship Are Corporate Journalists
Sorry, my comment came off more negative than I intended.

However, the article leads by saying "rkyv is similar to Cap'n Proto and FlatBuffers", and then lists some "different design choices that make it stand out", but does not mention here the lack of schema evolution. Since schema evolution is usually considered a critical feature in any of these systems, it really ought to have been mentioned here. It also explains why rkyv is faster -- supporting schema evolution has overhead.

I think this could have been a really cool article if it were phrased as: "Here are the performance benefits that can be achieved in use cases where you can trade off schema evolution." That's legitimately an interesting area to explore!

(Disclosure: I'm the author of Cap'n Proto.)

The warnings/fences should be placed past its range limits anyway if done properly given overpenetration and missed shots. Of course friendly fire also should not happen.
It’s not clear that there is anything in your response that is relevant to my comment.

The point I see you making is to say that all people who are against gun control are irrational, but it this appears to be a bare claim unsupported by an argument.

> But the broader context for the bill is the one most interesting and the one on which I focused in my opening statement and testimony: namely, the relationship between social media and tech giants on the one hand, and the news media industry on the other. Contrary to the popular narrative propagated by news outlets — in which they are cast as the victims of the supremely powerful Silicon Valley giants — that narrative is sometimes (not always, but sometimes) the opposite of reality: much if not most Silicon Valley censorship of political speech emanates from pressure campaigns led by corporate media outlets and their journalists, demanding that more and more of their competitors and ideological adversaries be silenced. Big media, in other words, is coopting the power of Big Tech for their own purposes.

> You’re leaving out a lot: gold and silver have significant industrial usage

Most of the traded gold sits in a vault and is never touched as then it would need to be retested for purity or something. Sure, if the economy would crash to the point that gold-as-an-investment-instrument is worthless, you could take it out of the vault and sell it for industrial use, so it has at least some intrinsic value, but I doubt it would retain a lot of its value if everyone tried doing that.
Autoencoders and a newsletter that doesnt suck

You'd use four individual craft to put a troop of tanks ashore. A troop of tanks would be an enormous asset to an infantry or commando battle team. And in the next few hours you could land another troop, and then another.

They can look after themselves for 48 hours. That's a lifetime in terms of a landing operation.

Here's a Royal Navy landing craft delivering a Royal Armoured Corps full-size main battle tank ashore recently.

Google Docs is also exceptionally bad at finding things too I find.
Do you have the same experience when logged in and when logged out in an incognito window?

Google search isn't the same for everyone. It varies based on your location, language, profile, and recent search history (i.e. if you do 3 searches in a row about items in a video game, it will assume you are looking things up while playing and continue favoring results about that game for a while).

If things have really gone of the rails to the point you are dissatisfied, try clearing your entire search history here: https://myactivity.google.com/privacyadvisor/search
> "Some are struggling to integrate into society because of past trauma..."

The challenge of reduced ability stemming from trauma is much larger than is commonly understood. More importantly it's unlikely to improve while even mentioning the causes of trauma (eg: systemic mistreatment of women) receives so much widespread push-back and deflection.
