Yeah so? Think about it. How do you make a blob of data unreadable by people on Thursday but readable on Friday? You can't do it without a trusted third-party.

If Eth has a solution for this, it would mean it basically solves trust in general, which is a persistent pain in all of infosec.
To me the shape resembles a part used on railroad tracks, specifically the improved flair.
One "unfair" thing is generally when there's a mass "loan forgiveness" program (like there was for Mortgage Debt in 2008) borrowers are exempted from considering forgiven debt as income. That's unfair to the rest of us taxpayers.
Fronting the money for the supplies usually comes from the fact the tradesperson went on a bender after you paid him last time!

Also in the area where I live, most home trade jobs are done with as much cash as possible to avoid taxes.

The pay cash tax savings is greater then any bank financing.

When you pay 50% income taxes you can see that the incentive to work cash is much much greater then formal financing.

If a car repair was going to cost $1000, the tradesperson keeps $500 after tax. He's better off to offer you $750 cash. Take $500 now (he's paid up).

Then if he still collects the $250 cash that's pure bonus.

I didn't even factor in the 20% sales taxes on the work the buyer would have to pay.

All I can say is don't try to expand to a newly third world country like Canada. I just can't see it working here.

It’s not a counted loop, it’s true. for loops are sugar for iterators and an infinite loop + break. My point is that it is not a particularly complex transformation, as you said. I thought the complexity (or lack thereof) was the high order bit. Sorry I should have been more clear!
WhatsApp does the album thing as well.
Maybe in 2014. Criminals do not use strict us KYC exchanges and trackable bitcoin, that doesn't make much sense. If the onramp isn't anonymous (mining/a bag of cash) you'd be screwed. This one is a bit old my guess is the anonymous cash narrative is even smaller than in this graph: https://medium.com/@nic__carter/visions-of-bitcoin-4b7b7cbcd...
Again, it depends. I don't think a general answer to that question exists. With studies, I suppose?
I don’t mean the value of the asset itself but the basis upon which that value is vested.
If a button does that kind of critical action, it better have a better and much more visible explanation + confirmation than just a hidden hover tooltip
Your example is way better than what AWS has on their page (marketing, analytics) which made me think immediately: you shouldn't use a file store for that but a database.
I recall reading in some random internet place that the Nazis also went on wild goose chases in the Himalayas... might have been a conspiracy forum (which means this "factoid" may be discarded at will; and some might argue that therefore it's immoral to repeat it)

In any case, as such matters are usually state secrets I can never really know, only imagine things.
I'm no fan of the content on Parler, but Twitter (who uses AWS) was used for far more organization of illegal activity than Parler was. Twitter wasn't targeted though. I don't think it was ideologically agreement with Twitter (although I'm sure there is much ideological agreement as the tech industry has become quite the echo chamber) as much as Twitter is just far too rich and powerful to be shut down.

If you're a big fish with powerfu rich users like Twitter, then vendor lock-in isn't a risk. If you're a small, inconsequential platform that can be smashed like a fly on the window, then you really need to care about such things.
The final result has the annoying effect that things scroll up, when I scrolled lower items to the middle of the bounding box (on FF/Android). But maybe this is just the fiddle viewport's behavior.
Well, in the context of "Georgian African American" I didn't have any trouble. I'm surprised you did, as the other Georgia isn't currently, and has never in the past, been "American"

An advice for the VC among us. Don't get fooled by all these startups promising to revolutionalize drug-discovery with AI. Go talk to scientists that are specialists but have no stakes in those approaches. I've seen so much money diverted from projects (many that turned out to work once sanity came back) just to pay for some over-confident startupers shitty solution... Yes AI will help drug discovery no doubt about that, but those companies telling you they can learn from existing data are lying, most data available is of really low quality, acquired in conditions adequate only for specific types of questions... One I know closely will promise you a knowledge graph based on a specific slice of drug sources that can supposedly answer every question. It will almost certainly end up like many of those companies that hire humans to do the work in the back and sell it to you as AI... And their source data which I know well is of really low quality so we can't expect much more from their models either...
tenable keeps telling me that something "interfered" with its scans for PCI compliance - isn't the point of a firewall IPS system to do that? but i don't even have it on for the IP in question, so I basically have to just edit my network range to remove it. it really is bullshit.
The only thing Safari has to do is be good enough people can use it as a web browser but bad enough it can't replace apps. It doesn't need to ensure user data gets collected and sold or push ads or any other business model - it just needs to protect the 10s of billions of passive income from the app store.

As a result it's free to make whatever choices make sense for the user as long as they aren't related to that. I wouldn't call it "humanist" because of that just a different revenue model.

The same is true for the rest of Apple, it didn't get to a 2,000,000,000,000 market cap because it's humanist it got there with unique ways and focus on how to make money. Probably less bad than how Google does it though I don't consider that the bar for doing good.
I see the avoidance of vendor lock-in as a way to prevent Amazon from gaining too much power compared to their competition (they already do, but you see my point, hopefully)

I’m designing a system right now and I’m specifically not allowing it to become too ingrained into the AWS ecosystem so that I can easy move it to GCP, Azure, or elsewhere (would that Digital Ocean offered better support) if/when Amazon gets too big and starts to take advantage of their size. That will happen. It’s only a matter of time.

you would probably want to target _revenue_, like the GDPR fines do, rather than capitalization.

GameStop should not receive a fine 10 times it's revenue just because some random people pushed its price up 100x.
It's a way programmers have to show off, have fun or be artistic. You write a programme but you restrict yourself in some way such as creating it for a 1980s era computer or by file size say the entire thing has to fit inside 4KB or some other extreme limit, and then you try to do things using visuals and/or music that you initially wouldn't think are possible.

Back in the day I had heard, it is best to work in an industry where what you do is their business. Well my place is not tech and upper management just does not get it.

Key IT people are leaving, and I am planing to leave in a 18 months. I have to stay for the 18 months for a variety of reasons.

The caveat I would see here is that Lambdas are very limited (memory/disk) so if you're dealing with a big json/xml file you'd need specialized libraries to redact it.
Yea, really. What's so difficult about X usually means you have not thought about the problem enough.

I struggled with this my whole life, until a diagnosis of autistic personality at the age of 34. Therapy helps you understand people because you can ask the therapist for the behaviours people expect from others. It's called masking.
Similar I read a line a year or so ago (can’t remember where) that really stuck with me:

All anyone ever really says is “I love you” or “help me”.

I try remember this whenever I am frustrated with what someone is saying to me. You can’t always help them, and sometimes it’s hard to love them, but you can reframe where they are coming at as being from them not about you, and with that resist arguing and feeling insulted or threatened.

You've stated what you think freedom of speech isn't, but can you actually define what you think freedom of speech is?

It's funny how this mantra of "freedom of speech != freedom from consequences of speech" seemingly originated at precisely the same time that big tech corporations and social media mobs began punishing people en masse for lawful (but politically incorrect) speech.

It seems like doublespeak really. I.e.: "Welcome, no tresspassing"
Interesting! Is there some kind of meta-objective for "AI optimal" that could have replaced the 6 or 7 iterations you did with human R&D? For instance, if you had real human playtesters interacting with the prototypes, is there some signal you could extract to measure that it's "good"?
More like a personality away than a click. People say the same thing every year then don't act on it, won't do it now either.
That is the fraud. A higher education degree doesn’t increase earnings for most people once you factor in the costs. There was a nice econ paper on this sometime in last year. Student loans of any sort are on average a bad choice in terms of lifetime wealth accumulation. Bad for student borrowers and bad for taxpayers, one should ask themselves whom it is exactly that benefits from all this carelessly issued debt.
It's a challenge to see who can get the most impressive visuals in a specified size of memory or other restrictions.

It dates back to when early games and software were pirated by teams. Each team would try and leave their intro video in the game as their signature, trying to one up each other.

Then it just turned into it's own form of competitive Development.

Basically you get some incredibly small amount of memory, and it's about trying to be as clever as possible to get the coolest visuals in there.

Many prominent graphics engineers were involved. Some of them even worked at studios like Pixar, making things like the vegetation systems on Brave.
Developers that think we should support the iPhone 3 just to be nice have not worked on enterprise-level apps. They underestimate the cost of the things you describe--design, QA, support, etc. It's more than a media query.
Australia doesn't have native cat species and introduced feral cats are considered invasive and aggressively hunted and killed by the government. Feral cats decimate indiginous rodents (not the mice here).
> If you were planning to take a shot at being a real-life (homicidal) Green Arrow—think twice. The penalties for using it as a weapon are likely to be severe.

AFAIK, Green Arrow does not use a crossbow - probably because it would seem unfair, cowardly or not manly enough. That may be a part of deciding the scope of the ban to semi-automatic aim-and-pull-trigger murder weapons.

I understand the desire to avoid paying tax by taking cash, but is it common that a tradesperson is paying 50% income tax? I only have a US resident's perspective, but that rate seems very high.
> Yes, I have ADA and XTZ, both of which are far superior in technology to ETH. I have a bunch of others as well (not ETC or ETH). I'm not telling anyone to buy anything, certainly not on my word.

Yes, it’s easier to deny. That’s how marketing works. You don’t say buy this instead of this. You just sow doubt. And if you’re using facts, then at least you can say your adding to the discussion. But you lack facts, and instead use weasel worlds like “original”, “forced”, “superior” which are not backed up by fact.

By calling it “original” you are trying to convey some sense of legitimacy where there is none. You’re playing with words, what I call FUD.

FUD: “ Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.”

Explain in technical details how I’m wrong. I’ll wait.

I just explained it in detail, that there is no “original chain”. You haven’t supplied any facts.

How by any definition of “original” can ETC be, if it, itself has hard forked. If those hard forks have also included updates to increase interoperability with ETH.

Again, if I kept mining on software prior to the ETC Agharta, does that mean I am on the “original”?

By your definition, in the course of upgrading the blockchain technology, anyone who refuses to upgrade at any fork is the “original”. That definition then becomes pointless.

If you’re in it for the technology, then, just be honest with your wording, and neutral with your point of view. I am. I talk about facts. ETH and ETC are hard forks. Both have blockchains that are based off the first ETH chain that launched, both have had various levels of fork upgrades. ETC was created when some miners decided they didn’t want to return funds from the hacked DAO contract by implementing an upgrade. They then decided to name themselves Ethereum Classic to differentiate. (I could play name games and say that since it’s ETC tokens and not ETH tokens it’s not original, whereas my ETH tokens maintained their value, and where still the same exact tokens on the trading platforms when the fork occurred, but that’s playing word games)

Going on here and saying things are “original” doesn’t educate anyone. You can be annoyed or against the upgrade because you honestly don’t believe the DOA tokens should have been transferred back. That’s fine. But don’t add to the misinformation by posting confusing FUD. That’s not about the technology. Being about the technology is explaining how blockchain means “original” or single truth has no meaning. It’s a distributed consensus.
Are the journals made by White people called "Georgian European American"? Why white must be the vanilla and default and every other option must be exotic/spicy/different so it requires an additional qualifier?
I've yet to see this brought up, but I hope a wandering historian might speak up about this along with reference a book I can read more about this.

Wasn't the marvel to Arabic-Hindu (edit) numerals the math system behind them? Beyond counting, no one really discusses the actual use of these other number systems. Maybe the actual number representation with our modern numerals is the worst way to track count, but the way to manipulate those numbers is the best that ever was from what I can tell. All thanks to the folks that laid down the foundation to Arabic-Hindu numerals. Using our current methods of math does not translate directly to other numerals systems... so it's just hard for me to gain an appreciation of these other numeral styles?

Years ago I watched a documentary that focused on, I think on Cuneiform writing or maybe another ancient writing system. What was known on how accounting was done, the mathematic usage of that system was a complete pain in the ass. It made me think about how much we take for granted how easy it is to add and subtract, let alone multiply and divide, with our current system. This used to be a specialized skill. Now it's considered the beginning to even knowing anything remotely useful.

Weird scatterbrained rant, but is anyone able to point to a good, recommended resource on the history of math, ideally comparing other methodologies?
> Use the settings app for settings, so they don’t clutter your app.

I’m glad most app don’t do this, except for where they have to for notifications, etc. It’s really unintuitive to go to another app to adjust settings for an app you’re already in.
If you’re not flaunting ToS, then making sure you have all your legal items taken care of (trademark, copyright, patents), you should be fine.

If you’re building something that a cloud provider might adopt or build their own, well, isn’t that risky regardless of the cloud provider element?

I know some companies avoid one provider or the other out of competitive concerns. That seems easily managed with contractual obligations.

Twitter has enabled some borderline illegal behavior, but the account holder has been the one at risk. I don’t think Twitter systematically allows illegal behavior like parler did.
>I'm no fan of the content on Parler, but Twitter (who uses AWS) was used for far more organization of illegal activity than Parler was.

Parler outright refused to delete posts calling for the mass killing of politicians, even when those posts were specifically pointed out to Parler by AWS. This is all detailed in court documents. AWS very patiently tried to prod Parler into following AWS's terms of service, but Parler refused. This is a very clear-cut matter and those suggesting otherwise are either trying to deceive or being misled.

First, make sure this is really what you want and need.

It helps to be a Jungian personality type that has a strong focus on the feeling cognitive function, i.e. Fi/Fe. If that's not you, then empathy/sympathy will probably not come natural to you.

Also, I have personally found that a very refined culture of giving and receiving empathy is found in the Non-Violent Communication (NVC) "universe" created by Marshall Rosenberg.
> We should be clear about a couple things. First, McCammond apologized. She apologized profusely, and she apologized repeatedly. And she did not just apologize this week, when her job was in jeopardy. She apologized back in 2019.

Well for the twitter archeologists, this isn't enough and it will never be enough.

There is no "I should not have tweeted what I did and I take full responsibility for that"

There is no "Sorry for my past behaviour and I have grown out of it"

There is no "This isn't what you think it is"

There is no "Please, I can explain."

There is no redemption.

They amended the bills to continue paying $300 - $600 per week in additional unemployment on top of the state unemployment.

Why would you subtract state unemployment? These people also paid federal taxes, so should we just subtract the federal unemployment, too?

And again, that’s just the cash. There was also Medicaid for health insurance, numerous state and federal programs for food, programs for housing, internet, etc.

As for building empathy, this is a tough question and I'm not really sure how to answer it. What makes you think you aren't empathetic already, outside of some rando internet test for empathy? I'm not sure I'd put a lot of stock in that kind of testing. Are you getting this type of feedback from loved ones?
