Lot's of people said the same about the USA becoming economically independent of the all powerful British Empire. And yet the USA did it.

Alexander Hamilton's influence goes way beyond inspiring a ridiculous musical for an attempt to capture that historical personality and distort his positions so nobody would read his writings.

There is a vast difference between not being possible, and the interlopers we call "the elites" not wanting to do it because they have other interests that don't overlap with the Nation's interests.
The major flaw in this article's analysis is that in the opening scene with the trolls, the Papa troll tells Elsa to use her powers wisely and not give into fear, etc. It's Elsa own father who instills the fear.

I thought this article's theory might help explain the Hans weirdness, but now I'm just more convinced the plot is a mess.
I'm not sure who first used it; but, millennials and other young people started using the term about 15 years or so ago to refer to the Washington DC metro area -- District Maryland Virginia. The local media picked up on it and started using it. Old farts like me still think "Division of Motor Vehicles."
Can you elaborate? I despise the startup chime and disable it on all of my Macs. Why should they announce a startup when none of my other devices do? Why would I want to wake a sleeping baby or annoy other library patrons? This is one of the most obnoxious decisions Apple ever forced on its users (and, yes, I was happy when the illuminated logo on the laptop lid was finally put to rest).
GPGPU, game engines middleware, and compiler research using LLVM have rejuvenated C++.

Additionally at least on Windows, Microsoft still believes in C++ for doing the kind of desktop applications you are talking about.

All these scenarios aren't properly covered by Rust in its current state, even the Rust/WinRT project is doing baby steps, very far away from what VC++ offers today.
Sorry, I am a bit confused. Did You pay $100ETH to mint the token or is that your goal? The title can be read both ways.

Good luck with the auction!

PS: I wonder if the reason this was flagged was the samevreason I asked my question. When I clicked the link it just took me to your auction and it wasn't until I carefully read Your comment that I understood what You were showing.

This also applies to art in general.

Marcel Duchamps Fountain was one of my favorite pieces of art because it called out the art world for judging art based on the fact that it was made by a member of the accepted 'art world' but it was a frickin urinal.
Fair point, but I don't recall Flash "things" ever being usable in anything other than some form of a Flash Player, so if the player was suboptimal, it kinda ruins the whole thing, no?

Intels new marketing is making me think they're way more nervous than I'd have expected them to be. I know the M1 seems to be very good, but it's not going to displace Intel really is it, and I'm not sure this type of marketing is going to convince any technical person to switch platforms, so who is it targeted at?

I would have thought they'd take Coca Cola's stance, and like they don't mention Pepsi, Intel would just not mention Apple. But they're coming across more as a sort of jilted lover. It's not a good look for a company that wants to think of themselves as the market leader.

The only thing I can think of is they're playing to the anti-apple crowd, in hopes that it builds up a bit of brand loyalty and that then helps them when that person is considering Intel vs AMD.

A meta comment. When I read this article, I don't learn anything at all about Frozen. I do get some insight about how we can, or even like, to rationalize ideas (vs. reasoning about them). In this context it's harmless and maybe entertaining.

Where rationalizing becomes a problem is when you rationalize what is real; to many rationalizing is in appearance not so far from reasoning that it's easy to confuse the two if you take too much for granted or assume too much trust in a speaker. Not always easy for even the most rational amongst us to differentiate. Failing to be conscious of this one fact, in my opinion, leads to many bad outcomes like believing in conspiracies, ignoring uncomfortable challenges to our beliefs, and otherwise pollutes the marketplace of ideas.

I guess the points of the comment are to urge you to be always mindful of the distinction between rationalizing and reasoning and to always vigilant to the point of self-examination when the distinction may really matter.
>white isn't a culture

FJ Haydn spent the bulk of his working career in Hungary, toward the end of his career he went to France and England and received large adoring audiences, not as some kind of exoticism, but because he was/is a giant of European/white culture.

Why would anyone say “white isn't a culture” except to express animosity towards white people?

Arch, Debian, Suse, etc. are cultures, but gnu/Linux isn't?
Even with widespread knowledge that deepfakes exists, you can still make credible videos of people that damages them.

For example, picture a video of Trump saying in private committee 'I want to fuck that nigress'. That would be extremely heinous, and probably be a fake, but can you be 100% sure from a president that also said 'grab them by the pussy' ?

The line between real and fake news is becoming more and more tenuous.
A really good way to do reduce your hour and actually increase your pay is to become a contractor.

For the past 3 years I’ve been working sub 30-hour weeks while increasing my post-taxes pay by 30-40%. The contracts are long (3-24mo), you can deduct equipment, courses and conferences and the boring stuff (bookkeeping, taxes, sales) can be outsourced for a fraction of your billing. A nice bonus is you don’t have to participate in all the meta-work (team building, internal trainings and all-hands).
> But why is it considered anti-trans speech, when a villain is "a male serial killer known to have worn a dress"?

Mostly the cultural effects of the Hays code and decades of queer-coding villains as evil or sexually depraved in fiction and popular culture. A fictional male serial killer tends not to simply "have worn a dress," that specific detail, like all details in fiction, is intended to communicate something to the reader/viewer, and most of the time it's to present the character's non-heteronormative behavior as a symptom of their moral evil.

Technically speaking there's nothing wrong with depicting a Black person eating a watermelon and fried chicken but there's context behind the tendency to interpret it other than purely literal terms.

And this is why you have to understand fundamentals.

Flash LOANS in ONE transaction actually work because unsharded blockchains suck and do one transaction at a time. You can be sure nothing else is executing, so you can safely rollback if you don’t like the result.

On the other hand, if your transaction completes and you try the same with multiple transactions, you don’t have any ACID guarantees.
I don't think so. You can cryptographically sign anything much like how SSL works now. You'll have to rely on certificate authorities to assign these certs, but it works.

Videos should be cryptographically signed, and verified once online. You can spoof certs but you can't really fake the cert authority
This is funny, but each year residents should be saving more and more.
This is not a technical problem IMO. You can't cryptographically sign reality. There's always the analog hole[1].

It's a problem of trust within society. Look at many very mainstream conspiracy theories these days: there's ample proof that it's not true, but people want to believe so they'll believe.

You can't fix the lack of trust in society with cryptography.

I just went on a constructionist website I sometimes lurk when I'm bored, literally the first story I find is titled `The Age of "Credentialism" and "Experts" is over. Every Single Institution works against your interests'. You can't fix this mindset with maths.

Video is cryptographically signed? But what about the secret computers in the Pentagon's basement that run on Quantum CPUs using ancient alien technology found in the pyramids? They can certainly break ECC. Here, watch this Youtube video...

Of course, how can you do this when people's experience with writing is mostly 120-character tweets that are read and reacted to on first emotional impulse.
I have the feeling that this movement has the potential of destroying our public discourse culture, to undermine free thinking and remold our societies to be more unfair, capricious and despotic.

We're seeing the modern equivalents of witch hunts and book burnings.
Nobody's surprised by that anymore though; skin care and makeup hides a lot of sin, and photo filters are commonplace. /r/instagramreality has a LOT of that.
Spotify is doing stuff like that. I kept getting a bunch of podcast recommendations for things like "stop asian hate" and "navigating the workplace as a person of color". Over the summer I was getting recommendations for albums and songs called "Black Lives Matter" by no name artists. I ended up cancelling my subscription and switching to amazon music because the amount of space used to push woke political podcasts and music meant that new releases from artists I follow wasn't showing up.
I suppose the OP meant choosing (or being forced) to eschew mainstream publishers when publishing one’s book. Lolita and Ulysses both had to be put out by small presses in Paris where there was no censorship, though indeed this isn’t quite self-publishing because there was a publisher who took on the risk.
It's about cancelling an author even without conviction.
Innocent until proven was once a progressive achievement but it got replaced by innocent until flame war. We are back to the of witch hunting where an accusation was tantamount to a conviction.

Are you referring to seeing the depth of market? That's been free for many years in many stock and futures trading platforms as well. How is it different in crypto?
This actually makes me like blockchain technologies more. Finance has always been a game. A game in which the price of entry can be prohibitively high to a lot of people.

Blockchain really levels the playing field. People are free to play the game (and metagame) with virtually no cost of entry besides time.

Granted this may change as the meta evolves. Bigger players with more resources may be able to find new "exploits". However the risk increases as well and there has never been this much financial leverage introduced as with blockchain.
Accurate if you replace the term 'science journalism' with 'pop science journalism'. The average person is not interested in science journalism, they are interested in pop science journalism.
Really surprised they can't automate that shit. It sounds like they need linters for their documents.

I certainly would trust a well-tested piece of software to get the numbers right sooner than I'd trust a gaggle of overpaid sleep-deprived 22 year-old Princeton grads.
Thanks for the info! I only saw the twitter thread doing the usual point and laugh game and didn't bother looking further into at, given how often you stumble across those.

Not being a Twitter user but tangentially following Wireguard development, the name Jason Donenfeld does ring a bell, in contrast to some Twitter account named "Edge Security".

Interesting to know that the tweet from 2017 pointing out code duplication in the kernel is from the same person who, 1 year later, kicked off a brief flame war by wanting their own crypto library merged into the kernel alongside the existing one[1], before finally giving in and porting Wireguard to the existing API[2].

EDIT: Also thanks for pointing at the patch set for the crypto API. I have yet to look into that, as the last time I touched the kernel crypto API was a few years prior and I agree with some of Jasons criticism, although I can see the point of the kernel API being designed for asynchronous workloads, trying to explicitly support hardware accelerators, which I was also playing around with back then.

> I don't want my kiddo to think a man needs to save her

yes, but I think it's teaching this the wrong way. Here is a quote from Hiyao Miyazaki, who is famous for having female leads in animated films.

> "That song ‘Let it Go’ is popular now. It’s all about being yourself. But that’s terrible — self-satisfied people are boring. We have to push hard and surpass ourselves."

I think it's right, instead of an IDGAF attitude, it's better to highlight hard work.
The faceapp thing does hair as well though. It's probably less jarring if it has 'close' hair to work with to begin with.

Yeah, I used to think the JK Rowling thing was just another example of Twitter activists blowing a celebrity's words out of proportion, then I watched the Contrapoints video on JK Rowling. Now I'm convinced she's not only a transphobe, but is intentionally manipulating a public which is largely ignorant of trans issues into thinking she's the victim. As you can see from plenty of the other comments, it's working.
That makes absolutely no sense. HFT and overall arbitrage games in traditional markets are way more wild and complex than all this.

The Seuss foundation is free to stop publishing the books. I don’t see how that creates an obligation for Amazon or eBay to prohibit sale, nor for any library that was happily lending these last week to pull them from circulation entirely.

After all of this, it is considerably easier to procure the writings of Adolf Hitler than of Dr. Seuss. That is very strange and wrong.

It may encourage the major chocolate processors to build processing plants in Ghana.

"Governing a country is like frying a small fish" -- Tao te Ching 60
Housing, childcare and education are three of the highest inflation categories outside of medical care. The more kids you have, the more of each you need, and the costs are basically linear.

Outside the 1% the numbers are lower, but it's obviously much harder when expressed as percentage of income.

2 interesting links:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/11/20/income-it-ta...
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/child-care-...

"The average cost of providing center-based care for an infant in the U.S. is $1,230 per month. "
So on AVERAGE, having 2 kids in daycare is $30k/year nationally. For most anyone, anywhere, $30k/year is a lot of money.

Benchmarking "average 2 kids childcare cost" in state against "top 20% income after tax" in state:

Nebraska 30%

Connecticut 26%

Pennsylvania 25%

Virginia 25%

Arizona 23%

New Mexico 20%

And again this is average childcare cost vs richest 20% (who may likely spend more than average).

People lowering down the bracket closer to average income also need childcare, which is going to consume a higher percent of income.

Sometimes this means one spouse exists the workforce involuntarily to do childcare as the cost of daycare exceeds the lower paid spouses income. Other times it means less formal forms of childcare with the associated costs/risks implied.

Some happily choose to be a full-time parent, and the money does not factor in.
For a given abstraction, think API, the number of correct implementations in Rust, C++, C and Assembly is roughly the same, and it is much lower than the number of correct implementations in, say, Python. That's what "low abstraction" means. The abstraction can be very precise with a rich type system like Rust's, but that doesn't make it any wider. This means that clients are just as sensitive to changes in implementation details, and that the cost of maintenance is high relative to high-level languages, even though the type checker can find the mistakes and tell you that the considerable work you may have to do is not done.
>People accepting everything at face value is not going to stay a thing when world+dog is going to abuse their new powers. Only fools would believe what they see after they've been fooled a few times and suffered the consequences

This seems overly optimistic, and requires people to themselves suffer unambiguously from the doctored evidence.

On an individual level, regular discovery of police and prosecutorial has not led widespread reform in those areas. And on a larger scale, even after things like the Gulf of Tonkin people largely accepted claims of WMD's in Iraq.

ASP.net with windows workflow foundation hasn't existed for like 10 years or something like that.
I will disagree. In the distant past, we had a bunch of forms to move online and our platform was SharePoint. I know, I know, but before you blame SharePoint, we didn't get to the point of SharePoint being the issue.

Instead, we got endless bikeshedding about "the process" and during that, many unrealistic expectations were conjured into existence as each process was re-imagined into kind of ultimate, abstract form of near infinite configurability. Try to imagine sitting at a table as someone says, with complete seriousness, that people ought to be able to submit a multiple one terabyte (not mega or giga, tera) files with a particular webform. Not any other transfer protocol, either. And this is back around 2008 or so. It should just ... expand as necessary.

Nor was this the only time I encountered this kind of behavior. I have seen functionaries whose visions of process suddenly bloat like that "elephant's toothpaste" when presented with technological options. I would do the forms first, given the chance.
The NSA had intercepts showing many of McCarthy's allegations were true, before and while McCarthy was doing his thing. The NSA released that data in the 1990s.
CPython is an excellent C code base to learn from. Readable despite being battle hardened and functional. Lisp tho is a wonder of a deeper kind - towers of dazzling beauty and power. I still recommend On Lisp by Paul Graham. And no, one won’t be using it day to day. But it will carve grooves in your brain that make you forever a deeper thinker about the possibilities of software.
>The premise of the Salmonella contract is very simple. It’s a regular ERC20 token, which behaves exactly like any other ERC20 token in normal use-cases. However, it has some special logic to detect when anyone other than the specified owner is transacting it, and in these situations it only returns 10% of the specified amount - despite emitting event logs which match a trade of the full amount.

Does the ERC20 spec allow such a transfer function to let token creators implement transfer fees?

And I guess uniswap doesn't care (or maybe even know) how high these fees are?
Don't worry, the new system is called "full self driving". "Autopilot" was no longer sufficiently misleading.
