Berlin has been arguably the most international city in Germany for a long time. During my stay in Summer of 2017 I did hear a lot of (American) English, much more than in the nineties, chiefly in Prenzlberg and Mitte though. There was even a proper American greasy breakfast restaurant serving pancakes and bad coffee (Ok, I made the bad coffee part up). Every German learned some English in school (there was a Generation which learned Russian in the East instead though), but w/o sufficient practice, many aren't comfortable using it later in life. With landlords this will be hit or miss.
Jeez. I have my own issues with cryptocurrencies, but blanket banning them? How do you even enforce this??

Also, if you're going to bring ecology into it, then instead of advocating for the ban of cryptocurrencies, it makes much more sense to put your energy into banning the economic system which systematically incentivizes externalities (of which carbon pollution is one).
Has anyone else seen this happen?

I cannot find references on Reddit or elsewhere that indicate 14.4.2 bricking keyboards. I do have an iPad and Magic Keyboard, but am hesitant to try it out in the event this is a widespread issue.

Sure. Publicizing it might inform whistleblowers so they aren't mistakenly outed by publishers that should know better.
Getting good yield/performance on the radio is non trivial. Aside from having domain experts you have a pretty significant investment in equipment to do the testing. Broadcom and other semis split that cost over many customers.
The tracking dots certainly made things much faster for the NSA: they could immediately locate the printer and the date, without the need to audit the huge number of printers and employees they have. You say "on any given day" but they wouldn't know the day, only a rather large possible range of days.
Silatus makes it extremely easy to share your content by automatically creating high-quality, natural-sounding podcast episodes from your written blog posts and articles, without the need to manually approve or upload episodes. It also works with any blogging platform or website that supports RSS 2.0 (WordPress, Blogger, etc). You can test it out for free, but you’ll have to refresh the page every 60 seconds to keep testing it (our way of preventing abuse).

We decided to use podcasts instead of an embeddable audio player so that the app would be instantly compatible with any blogging platform that uses RSS. If you’d like to see an embeddable audio player or if you have any other feedback, please let me know! Enjoy :)
> By the way, in terms of security, the iPhone isn't even the most secure platform right now, you still have tons of private apis, privacy issues and ways to snoop data back, that's exactly why companies ask you to install their app instead of directly going to their website because on the web they can't do any of that...

Don't forget the fact that iOS exploits are cheaper than Android exploits because iOS exploits are so plentiful[1][2].

While well-intentioned, I don't think the casual website visitor is going to understand what a cryptominer is and the blog post doesn't really do a good job of explaining what's going on, especially for non-English visitors. Instead of the blog post, a dedicated landing page I think would work much better - crowdsource some translations on github and put up something very simple like the Cloudflare interstitial design:

"The website that sent you here has been hacked and may not be safe to use. Please contact the site owner to let them know. Are you the website owner? Click here for a detailed explanation."

It also seems like the modal popup JS doesn't remember if the dialog has already been shown and will appear on every new navigation causing a lot of frustration for visitors. Given the widespread impact this has to users, it feels a bit rushed.

WA is closing that loophole. They just passed a gigantic capital gains tax.
There's probably an argument that can be made along those lines, but it's not self-evident.

Not just the white house. There's wholesale rejection that is embarrassing and counter to the messaging being pushed my the media and cultural elites.

Disney with the Gina Corano firing has been a huge source of continued embarrassment. Widespread rejection of woke takeovers of popular culture in general are problematic so no, I'm not surprised downvotes are getting remove universally. Much easier to hide reality when you pretend it doesn't exist.

Social media is a propaganda machine at this point. They don't give a crap about free expression. Too many plebs expressing their displeasure with propaganda can't be tolerated so here we go.
Objectively, it's a humble-brag, as if Bitcoin users are somehow among the enlightened and, by anyone "missing out", they will forever be poor.

Or wait... actually I was told it's not too late! Bitcoin is only just getting started! If you don't buy now, you'll miss out on more future gains! Right!?

Well, it's becoming less of a compelling argument, when to even 2x your input, BTC would have to hit a mind boggling $118k USD per coin as of this very post. In essence, we are finding a diminishing point of returns already. You can do better than that much more easily and quicker on the stock market right now, by comparison.

It's like coiners want to play both sides of fence. They want to ridicule and taunt those that they say didn't see the light in 2009 or thereabouts, but at the same time, gain new recruits, so they can continue to fatten their holdings all the same.

An important, as of yet unresolved question, is whether those changed vaccines will lead to the generation of new antibodies vs. a boost of the existing ones, a phenomenon called original antigenic sin. Fingers crossed...
> Just last week, the United Nations alleged that North Korea was funding its nuclear weapons program using funds from hacked cryptocurrency exchanges, alongside other thefts. The U.N. believes that over $300 million in crypto assets have been stolen by various North Korean hackers.[1]

> Iranian thinktanks have also emphasized the need for the nation’s government to use cryptocurrencies to circumvent US-led international sanctions. It now appears that the Office of President Hassan Rouhani has become more serious about using crypto. [2]

A rapidly growing percent of nuclear weapons proliferation is being funded by crypto. That's way worse for the planet than crime performed using cash.

How can anyone respect such person? His job is as unethical as it gets. He is a monster and a woke hypocrite.
>This article seems to intentionally ignore the core reason for cryptocurrencies; escaping inflation and control.

You aren't escaping inflation. You're escaping a savings glut which is the mortal enemy of inflation.
> I mean, there was once a HUGE glut of videos with misleading thumbnails/titles

Oh, that's still happening. It never stopped.
It does do that, but the primary purpose is to push investment. To protect money from inflation you have to put it to work. Wealth is a verb, not a noun.

lol - YouTube and most social media is no longer for us plebs. It's all about pushing propaganda, and unfortunately plebs mass rejecting politically motivated BS is too problematic.

Instead of trying to engage/change minds it's just easier to pretend "problems" like people having the temerity to call BS don't exist. Double plus good.
Now that I think of it, Twitter doesn't have downvotes and I've never struggled to tell a bad tweet from its ratio.
That doesn't really make "female DNA" a thing, because XX vs. XY does not tell us enough to know for sure if someone is male or female in the sense that the words are normally used. There are natural XY females who have a mutation in the SRY gene, XX males who randomly got a functional SRY on one of their X chromosomes, and other XY people whose bodies can't process testosterone and thus are female in almost every respect except lacking a uterus and having underdeveloped testes where ovaries would be. Most of what we think of as "female biological traits" seem to come down to that one gene and how the body (any body) reacts to hormones, rather than an overall difference in DNA.

This is not to say that there aren't biological aspects to gender, just that if such a thing does exist, it doesn't seem to be as simple as "female DNA" or "XX vs. XY."
I've worked with people who have a degree and a couple years of holding a developer job without actually being able to do software development. It's not pleasant.

When I do a technical interview, I'm mostly looking for basic skills: from a brief description of the problem with example input, ask any questions and describe the output and show what the output would be. Then write code that does what you described; any language is fine as long as it's consistent on the board. My problem is reversable, so if we have time, I ask them to write the code to go the other way.

The problem itself isn't hard, the biggest issue people have is being consistent; even after we spent a good portion of time coming up with an example output, some people do something totally different. Very ocassionally, I get someone who has real trouble with a basic for loop. Sometimes, people are having a bad day and you can tell, which is unfortunate. If they're local, you can try to get them rescheduled, but if they were flown in, that's kind of their one shot for a while.

Step one: join YC. Step two raise seed.

Seriously, this deck would likely not have flown without the YC backing and implicit stamp of approval, once you are in YC you'd have to do pretty bad not to raise seed funding.
I am typing this comment from a Magic Keyboard on an iPad Pro, which has been on iOS 14.4.2 for at least 24 hours. No issues experienced.
I didn't characterize steps towards unionization, this is complete misrepresentation of my argument. I did not argue against (or for) unionization - I argued against NLRB decision (which is the one wielding power of US Federal Government) to grant the union organizers completely unreasonable request to remove security measures. It is obvious that presence of security measures would not prevent union from being formed - unless you postulate that the vote could only possibly be won by fraud, in which case it shouldn't be formed. In any other case, the ballot security measures do not oppose union organizing in any way.

You argument was - since NLRB has the power, and unions need to demonstrate their power, it's ok to deny reasonable security measures because NLRB makes the rules, so they do what they want. That's what I referred to as "might makes right". And it's completely unacceptable behavior, yet very common.

> We (presumably) wouldn't allow McDonalds to impose arbitrary security considerations on our civil elections;

McDonalds does not run elections. But we do allow election poll workers to impose security measures, check your name in the lists of voters, establish chain of custody for ballots, etc. - even without proving in advance there's election fraud. That's how security works - it comes before, not after the hack.
And yes, if McDonalds asked to have ballots secured, and somebody would oppose it for some reason - I'd suspect these people are about to perpetrate electoral fraud, and would question why these measures aren't already in place beforehand and require McDonalds to ask for them, instead of officials charged with performing elections doing them? Maybe those officials are in on the fraud and need to be investigated? We had some prosecutions recently for electoral fraud, so it's completely possible.

> what gives Amazon any more standing with the NLRB?

It's the election which affects interests of Amazon and Amazon workers, it's natural that they have special interest in preventing fraud in this particular case. You'd be more concerned about electoral fraud in your county than somewhere in a little town in another country.
I'm glad that gyms, gas stations and Starbucks have running water, but how does that change that fact that homeless people don't? Are you arguing that because homeless people can walk to a water source that they have running water? Because no, in that case you ran to the water, not vice versa.
>The proof is from the city of Manaus,

The Manaus data was not very compelling. Lots of selection bias in their sampling.
A bad tweet is obvious because it's easy to digest.

Unfortunately, the 'dislike' signal on a YouTube video doesn't tell me if it's because an expert disagrees with its content, or because the creator is being brigaded, or because the downvoters disagree with their politics (related or unrelated).

The comments are a better signal, but looking through them requires reading... YouTube comments.
It's probably hard for any of us to know the actual ratios, because only a filtered version of what's out there penetrates our bubbles.

I think with hot-button topics like this there's usually a race-to-the-bottom spiral of reaction and counter-reaction, with each side being fed the dumbest or most offensive arguments from the other side and reacting to them; then the other side sees a (likewise filtered for stupidity or outrageousness) selection of the responses and reacts to them, and so on.

Everyone is constantly escalating in response to the extreme fringe on the other side, while seeing a more representative sample of views from their own side -- which they are probably biased toward interpreting charitably, as well as no-true-Scotsmanning away the worst examples. So we're all constantly baffled by why the weirdos on the other side are overreacting so hard.
I think that YouTube algorithms are so smart right now that YouTube doesn't need dislike button anymore it can simply rank bad videos so low that you don't even know they exist.

Edit: YouTube algorithms are so smart* I was exaggerating using hyperbole(figure of speech) in order to imply strong impression and feeling that YouTube algorithms are good enough for YouTube to afford dismissing dislike button.

Instagram is doing fine with likes only so I don't see a reason why YouTube wouldn't. Go to comment section to say what is wrong with the video you are watching or use report button if the video is violating TOS.
Ok, so you'd be switching from "fau we" to "we we", which makes it make even less sense...

> The fallacy comes from forgetting these are people.

Perhaps. But at least that's just on paper. Resorting to advertising means actually forgetting your visitors are people.
We don't know what all the data is, but it at least used to be Date-Time-Serial. For governments and corporations with asset controls that record the serial of devices sent around, this is actually useful and can be used to sniff out moles like in the example. For individuals, you either need a massive amount of background data like purchase history (which is what you all should actually care about instead of these stupid dots), or you need to physically raid the place and get the serial off the printer.

And anyways in your example, there are far easier ways for the government to figure out that stuff that doesn't involve chasing down printers.

I see what you're saying, but I disagree.

The F in 2FA is factor. Satisfying one login request from one factor (password vault) is 1FA. This is why the second factor is normally something that isn't your password vault (historically your head, now a piece of software): a hardware key, a recovery code, etc.

A slightly more generous interpretation is 1.49A (rounds down), because someone with a reused username/password combination. But if you're using a vault with a sophisticated factor, the venn diagram of "people who have your password," and "people who also have your master password," are pretty tight, except for cases where the provide has been breached (all bets are off).

Don't dispose of the second factor for convenience.
If the problem still exists, it's way less noticeable than it was in 2010.
What's the issue with Iran using it? Or is it that Iran are just "bad guys" therefore if they use it must be bad.

In that basis let's get rid of nuclear power because Iran use that. I think they also have the internet so while we are at it let's get rid of that.

> They assumed that everyone would play nicely and got double-crossed by the UK and US.

That's a very peculiar perspective about the UK.

A British university and the British government, supported by British public funds, joined with a British/Swedish manufacturer to create and offer a vaccine to the world at cost (having turned their backs on around £15BN of profit - see Pfizer & Moderna projections).

Why would they not expect that the British vaccine plants supply the British needs first?
Unfortunately, the C ++ Committee knows that universities do a terrible job teaching C ++, except the one Bjarne teaches. If you ask Bjarne, he will tell you the same things I said.

A lot of universities stuck in C++98. It will takes them 1000 years to adopt C++20 tho.

One of mistakes many universities do is teaching either C or Java before C++.

I find C++ as a minimal OOP language to get head start.

C++ -> Java
-> C

But if student is a complete noob to programming, I'd suggest to learn Javascript before going to C++

Again, this is to keep the intuition otherwise they will forget what they learnt.

I wish if many universities listened to Kate Gregory talk.

When you teach Java before C++,

Students try to write C++ in Java Style (Eg with new and delete). I answer plenty questions of students on Reddit's cpp sub who are trying to write C++ in Java style. I might make a talk on this in CPPCon.

When you teach C before C++,

Students try to write C with Classes.

But, as once Steve Jobs said,

"I used to think that technology could help education. I’ve probably spearheaded giving away more computer equipment to schools than anybody else on the planet. But I’ve had to come to the inevitable conclusion that the problem is not one that technology can hope to solve. What’s wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology. No amount of technology will make a dent."

You can laugh at me, that's okay. But truth is truth!

By the way, This is my 50th throwaway account. I use them because I'm getting down voted to death when speaking in defense of C++.

2.) You have to pay taxes on staking rewards. So unless they intend to lose money they have to sell at least that much.

Yeah, most NFTs are just references to a database hosting a file somewhere. There are exceptions, but this is the case with sites like Rarible as far as I know. The exceptions are less popular and less well known because they aren't scams and are actually interesting technology-wise, and thus aren't doing a ton of marketing or promotion or being used for money laundering or tax scams like most NFTs currently are.
If you look at the last message, the news here is that the SC now has removed from RMS from the SC webpage, while asserting that he wasn't really a member anyway.

It is quite sad that rich Facebook developers can write generic boilerplate that links RMS to harming people and no one bats an eye.

No one examines the actual harm that Facebook has done vs. harm RMS has done (all imaginary), because their salaries depend on it.
Bitcoin doesn't use several countries worth of CO2. It has been "calculated" that "cryptocurrency" uses as much electricity as a small country. But that is not Bitcoin. Bitcoin does not use GPUs to mine. They use specialized chips which are far more efficient than GPUs. Etherium is the currency burning all the electricity. Also, you are conflating CO2 with electricity. Which is not correct in my opinion because electricy can generated via nuclear, wind and solar. In fact,any miners migrate to those power generation modes because it's cheaper for them. Electricity price is part of the ROI of mining.

I would add both "Peopleware" and "Slack" by Tom DeMarco to that list. They really emphasize great ways of working within a team while keeping consideration of who you are working with.
