Is there a reason why the painting I linked is $85mil, and the Beeple NFT isn't? My argument is that the value of a collectible (NFT, painting, baseball card) is actually because of what it represents, rather than the object itself.
As a teacher, I'd like to use this in presentation slides, i.e. pause the output at specific times and continue only after a button is pressed. Does anyone know if there exists a tool, e.g., to automatically pause MP4 playback at specific times?
What do you mean with "theological debate"? I'm asking because this is rather broad term which could be disputed.
The vast majority of businesses....

1. Are outside the valley

2. Started with minimal or no funding

3. Hire a ton of employees overall

4. Give their founders comfortable lives.

5. Do their thing very quietly without anyone really knowing.

6. You've never heard about.
They have scripts to import from Asana, Notion, and Trello

> I'm not sure I get this point of view.

I think that Beeple is basically just a rando-tier DeviantArt/Tumblr artist, and much of his art is cringe to boot. Since someone purportedly paid the equivalent of $69 million in ETH for it, it's noteworthy that there's no there there.
Please consider web first!
I did change it, but it seems like a mod decided the previous title fits better.
>Two others from the United Kingdom were also charged with federal crimes as part of the hack.

They don't mention what the others were charged with.

What happens to someone from the UK charged with a crime in the US?
It did, but the band was reassigned to other uses:

One good field with a lot of “failure stories” is military history. Even the most successful commanders, say Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, or Kublai Khan, tended to fail often or conclusively.
I think the same could be said in reverse: if this change is truly so small and insignificant, why was it done in the first place? The frustration is at the paternalistic and placating nature of it - really, Github did their part by renaming version control tree titles? It reads like an Onion article, but it’s actually just a serious change by people too out of touch to realize how ridiculous it is. That’s where the frustration comes from. Nobody would care if they changed master to main to boost efficiencies, the annoyance is that they were motivated to do so in some brainlesss attempt to fight racism, but just revealed themselves to be vacuous
Gates of fire is a great book, that I would recommend. But it’s a novel. The Spartans didn’t really write anything down. All the character interaction is great, but cut from whole cloth of the author s imagination. It’s a great story. The big fight might be accurate, but about as accurate as a third hand account.

But yes, I really enjoyed it. Good book.
I think the author of the linked article might disagree with the claim of historical accuracy for that novel. He wrote at length about Pressfield's misconceptions.

Can you provide the list of everyone who was given an advance, which you say contains only famous people? The lack of such a list seems like one of the core complaints of the OP, so providing one would probably go a long way toward resolving the concerns.
My point is that there's a long tail of vehicles out there. Whether the fleet transition from ICE to EV is fast or slow, getting the long tail fully transitioned in a similar timeframe is implausible.

Heck, we haven't even transitioned 100.000% away from horses yet.
I suspect that deification of a Warrior archetype is as old as civilization itself, and every society simply tries to find historical examples where the nasty reality of militarism can be conveniently white-washed away.

2,500 years is enough time to have passed that there aren't any inconvenient Helots still around to ask difficult questions.
Nice writeup!

Speaking as someone that tried to be a founder from Brazil: I imagine that making it on Silicon Valley must be hard task on itself but making in an underdeveloped country makes odds stacked against you.

We compete with companies founded with people that have access to clients with way more purchasing power and better supply pipeline.

I'm a bit curious on how the team got overcame this issues, and would suggest you to repost this on a time that gets more traffic in americas, since is 3AM here.
I was talking about the proportion of the worldwide fleet, not proportion of new sales. Remember, not all vehicles are passenger cars. And not all vehicles always near electric infrastructure.

Well... yeah?

Has anyone ever argued that the Mona Lisa is worth whatever its raw materials are worth?

The real question is if the Beeple work is interesting as art or is if just a speculative bubble. https://www.ft.com/content/1563d643-332f-3887-8c6e-caf7435f3...
I’d love to hear more of these stories, but suspect 5. Do their thing very quietly is in the spirit of many of these businesses.

Capture effect has nothing to do with the operation of PLL's.

Most FM radios have a Limiter stage which strips of all Amplitude variations. This means that any strong signal in the passband will completely suppress a weaker signal.

Probably because that artist and his work were actually influential: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazimir_Malevich

When looked at as an artist, Beeple appears to be the digital art equivalent of some forgettable late-Rococo painter.
A remarkable man. Very interesting.
I don’t own a car. I don’t buy clothes I don’t need (I only have two shorts, two shirts, one pair of flip flops). I buy fresh vegetables and fruits and dried legumes, so avoid most food packaging. I don’t do any online shopping or shipping. I only buy new electronics when mine break (still using MacBook from 2014).

Ideally, once I get the money and family visas figured out, I’d like to live off grid.
Labour isn't particularly cheap in Taiwan
It is. And there is always a reason private companies post their numbers. Unless there’s a strong reason to do it, it is a better strategic move to keep them private.
I see, I must have remembered the forecast budget, thanks.
You won't escape 90% of the party lines non-sense until you force bill discipline and kill riders. Until such time as representatives can vote on one issue withou getting blown out stackwise by having to wadethrough 6 distinct pieces of legislation all rolled into one, there will be defensive obstruction along party lines.

GP's point is also working as designed. The Founders envisioned a country with a minimum of lawmaking. The system was intended to only respond to a fairly unambiguous signal, and warned of the dangers of a Government that squandered it's credibility on laws it couldn't enforce, or frequent flip-floppery. It's just sad no one seems to have listened.

The use cases of vehicles are much wider than the use cases of TVs.
I am tired of having people tell me that my criticisms of Audacity are invalid or unfounded. “Audacity is fine, you must be using it wrong,” is what I’m hearing here. I’ve heard it before.

Last time I used Audacity, it was version 2.4.2, which is the previous version before 3.0. It adjusted the system volume against my wishes, worked for about five minutes, and crashed. I gave it another shot—tried running it again, but it crashed again fairly quickly. I have no fucking clue what I could possibly be doing wrong. I was not trying to make it crash, I didn’t think I was doing anything unusual. No esoteric formats, no bizarre hardware configurations, no plugins.

When you make comments like that, I feel like my concerns are just being dismissed as invalid. The argument that Audacity is popular and therefore it must not be buggy makes no sense to me. People will use buggy software if they still get work done.

This.

Plus the fact that AM is actually capable of better sensitivity than FM, especially in the narrow bandwidths necessary for aircraft VHF communications.

Abstract:

Understanding the history of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is critical for determining its sensitivity to warming and contribution to sea level; however, that history is poorly known before the last interglacial. Most knowledge comes from interpretation of marine sediment, an indirect record of past ice-sheet extent and behavior. Subglacial sediment and rock, retrieved at the base of ice cores, provide terrestrial evidence for GrIS behavior during the Pleistocene. Here, we use multiple methods to determine GrIS history from subglacial sediment at the base of the Camp Century ice core collected in 1966. This material contains a stratigraphic record of glaciation and vegetation in northwestern Greenland spanning the Pleistocene. Enriched stable isotopes of pore-ice suggest precipitation at lower elevations implying ice-sheet absence. Plant macrofossils and biomarkers in the sediment indicate that paleo-ecosystems from previous interglacial periods are preserved beneath the GrIS. Cosmogenic 26Al/10Be and luminescence data bracket the burial of the lower-most sediment between <3.2 ± 0.4 Ma and >0.7 to 1.4 Ma. In the upper-most sediment, cosmogenic 26Al/10Be data require exposure within the last 1.0 ± 0.1 My. The unique subglacial sedimentary record from Camp Century documents at least two episodes of ice-free, vegetated conditions, each followed by glaciation. The lower sediment derives from an Early Pleistocene GrIS advance. 26Al/10Be ratios in the upper-most sediment match those in subglacial bedrock from central Greenland, suggesting similar ice-cover histories across the GrIS. We conclude that the GrIS persisted through much of the Pleistocene but melted and reformed at least once since 1.1 Ma.
TSMC is based in on the soil of one of America's allies.
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding when executives talked to the silicon engineers about "the unbelievable speculation for our first in-house desktop-class CPU"?
Lucifer's more of a DC property than a Marvel one. Marvel's got a lot of Devils but generally they've all been shown one way or another to not be the 'real' Lucifer, while DC had a long-running series about an explicitly Abrahamic Lucifer (which was loosely adapted into the TV series of the same title).
I certainly can't, I don't work for Substack, but I've met a number of people who write using their platform and so far getting an advance seems 100% predicted by how famous you already were for everyone that I've heard about (either personally or secondhand). Which matches the obvious business incentives - if you're a writing platform, the main thing you care about is getting lots of well-known writers. If there's an obvious theory that explains all the data you have right now, we should probably assume it's true until shown otherwise.
What is the article author trying to point out there?

That the artist is a bit dim, I should think.
It's not that simple. The graphs you are pointing at do not include the last century, and even if - they are tracing temperature by a proxy: bentic foraminifers dO16/O18. They are organisms living in the oceans, not necessarily in equilibrium (=synchronized) with atmospheric O and a proxy for average global temperatures. They are good indicators for general trends, so to understand the range of temperatures in a given period, but for very short periods of time they are unable to provide a measure of the rate of change. +3 degrees in a million year is manageable by many species,+3° in a century it isn't.
I'd recommend Batmanglij's book(s), but forewarned that she goes Saffron crazy - ludicrously her recipes routinely call for 1/4 teaspoon of Saffron disolved in rosewater. (Possibly this is a not so subtle class signaling in her book as Saffron is rather expensive). Skip it and it will be just fine.

Also, just like Italian recipes, it is sufficient to get the onion to a translucent state. 8-10 minutes will do. OP and family's arduous caramelizing process is a bit over the top.

Very interesting, btw, of OP mentioning her family insisting on her not learning cooking. My mother had the same precise experience. Of course she chose to learn anyway, which is a good thing as she is an exceptional cook.
Many people in the community are getting around this limitation by running virtual machines of the various operating systems they want. With the modern processor (compared to the N900) and the 6GB of RAM, performance seems to be totally usable on the Pro1.
Don't know how user friendly you'd like this to be, but VLC has a text-based remote control interface: https://wiki.videolan.org/documentation:modules/rc/

This allows you to e.g. get the current time (get_time) and pause playback (pause). So you just have to write a small script that issues the commands the way you want and you'll be good.
Certainly. You can tell based on the complete lack of success and following they've had, plus some amateur / shitty work they did in the past.
Super fascinating development. I wonder whether or not most drivers want this change. I presume it hurts the flexibility that attracts some to gig work?
Thanks Thomas.

With a team like ISS X-Force, it would be silly to claim there wasn't any hackers involved.

Infact, I'm pretty sure there was quite a few Phrack articles written by ISS employees in their earlier life, under their irc names,,, myself included. ;)

I think most of the content that would have gone into Phrack in early days became posted as commercial vulnerability research later on.
For me the real shock was Lord Howe Island, which is 600km from the mainland and surrounded by nothing but open ocean. At night, the entire island has only a few dozens lights on for marine safety, powered by a diesel generator.

On a clear, moonless night the sky is just unbelievable. You can see several galaxies with the naked eye, which is not something I had experienced before!
This reminds me of a discussion in my company after the BLM movement.

It was a talk under article about moving away from blacklist/whitelist. The discussion was done by purely white people and they were suggesting what other names they could change. It looked like people started looking at dictionary for words containing "white" or "black" and started suggesting strange changes.

Going as far as suggesting that "whitespace" is offensive, because it has "white" in name and suggests "opportunity".
I was hard to explain to this person that whitespace comes from book printing.

Basically a savior complex which trivializes the problem, but makes some white folks happy because they did something "important".
Stay tuned for the first computer virus aimed at hacking its user.
> What's more interesting is the allegation that this is "tape painting": sold to an accomplice for the purpose of promoting the NFT "art" market.

It seems like the more conventional term is "painting the tape." Googling for "tape painting" pretty much only gives results about painting with masking tape.
