Had this happen with an LA fitness membership a few years back. After spending hours trying to jump through their hoops to cancel, i got fed up and requested a new Visa card from WF. Well, Visa in all its wisdom decided to give my new number to the vendor without my permission or knowledge, and because i happened to not check my statement for several months, was charged a few hundred dollars for a gym membership i wasnt using.

You could assemble the finest legal minds in the world and they'd never convince me that this shouldn't be 100% illegal.
This is a common way of producing helium-3, but much more expensive than getting the more common helium-4 isotope as a byproduct of methane mining.
A source that modern cars can't be built without .35um chips. I didn't say those old fabs aren't still pumpingout chips, in fact I pointed out THEY ARE still pumping out chips, despite the parent saying they had all been shuttered. I doubt that modern cars can't be built without old process chips, but would like a source rather than simply saying parent is wrong.
Tons of data that the drops are an improvement over shots, if only for the patient experience!

“Patients who have done [allergy drops] and finished a course are now free of taking any allergy medications and they don’t have symptoms anymore.” Dr. Sandra Lin, video interview, Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) for Allergy Treatment: Johns Hopkins | Q&A, author of Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous and Sublingual Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinoconjunctivitis and Asthma (2017)

Aqueous allergy drops are both safe and effective for environmental allergies (aka allergic rhinitis): - This has been proven through 30 years of data published by leading allergists in key journals, and confirmed in 2011 independent Cochrane review Learn more: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21154351/

Aqueous allergy drops have a better safety profile than allergy shots - Unlike shots, there has never been a documented fatality to allergy drops in 30 years of use - The risk of a systemic reaction is thought to be 1 per 100 million doses or 1 per 526,000 treatment years Learn more: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22150126/

Allergy drops are equally as effective as allergy shots - They have widespread use in Europe (up to 80% of the immunotherapy market in some countries) - Comparison studies by leading allergists have shown both allergy shots and allergy drops to be effective but no clear superiority of one mode over the other.

Cloud storage has become a commodity and cheaper elsewhere.
It's been said over and over again in this thread, and the reply is always the same: you signed a contract to pay monthly for a year. Canceling a card doesn't legally excuse you from that obligation. Yes, odds are they wouldn't send it to collections, but they'd be within their rights to do so.

I think there’s an interesting and fair argument to make that one negative consequence of billionaires is entire otherwise unproductive economic sectors that exist for no reason other than their vanity (mega yachts, Swiss boarding schools, high fashion, doomsday bunkers). That is a different argument than one about resource hoarding though — a Louis bag doesn’t take much in the way of resources, just a single python in the worst case!
It's fine. I use Rider, and work with databases through its built-in tools, which are pretty decent (the same functionality as their separate paid product DataGrip). I've never needed Windows in 4 years of doing this.
Instruction decoding is more power efficient on arm, but x86 has solved it as a perf bottleneck, with the trace/uop caches and by doing some speculative work in the decoders. (Parallel decoding is also old hat and not a M1 or ARM land invention, it's trivial with RISC style insn format.). What other tricks do you have in mind?

More broadly, as to why the ISA doesn't make a big difference: The major differences are at the microarchitecture level since OoO processors have such flexible dataflow machinery in them that you can kind of view the frontend as compiler technology. x86 and ARM are decades-old ISAs that have seen a many many rounds of iteration in form of added instructions and even backwards incompatible reboots at the 64-bit transition points so most hinderances have been fixed.

In the olden days ISAs were important because processors were orders of magniture simpler, and instructions were processed as-is very statically (to the point that microarchitectural artifacts like branch delay slots were enshrined in some ISAs). This meant that eg the complexity of individual instructions could a bottleneck to how fast a chip could be clocked. Or in CISC land your ISA might have been so complex that the CPU was a microcoded implementation of the ISA and didn't have any hardwired fast instructions...

I agree with the sentiment, but I think "branding" a paper that was rejected in any way whatsoever would make things worse on the whole. The ability to try again seems to be an important part of the (admittedly imperfect) peer review process. (Relevant caricature: http://matt.might.net/articles/peer-fortress)
It seems like it's somebody's job to decide if MicroStrategy can lever up on Bitcoin but it shouldn't be individual brokers' jobs. Banks/brokers need to be neutral infrastructure. Their responsibility for AML should be to report suspicious behavior and no more; let regulators or law enforcement enforce the laws.
I'm curious about your services ... Do you offer them à la carte or as a one-time IaC / DevOps setup or some kind of subscription or other? How is pricing determined? Do you have technical support and SLA?

At every junction the answer is "well you trust another party and..." - so why is ethereum needed in the process at all? All of this is just companies providing an API for a service (which generally they don't, now, because it's complicated to orchestrate such a thing).

Ethereum is not contributing anything useful here, because everything important is "trust this person" - at which point I'm really just "hiring a lawyer".
Those are the homegrown idiotic propaganda, the Russian variety has more logic in it.
One funny thing is, few years ago there was a promo video on Heroku.com homepage "complained" about the high price after an intensive praising for the platform. It's not that people just suddenly started talking about the price issue today.

Heroku is a great product, there is no denying that. However, relying on startup/small teams is kind risky. Some startups fail after awhile, those who succeed sometimes "grow out of" Heroku to keep their cost down.

I think what Heroku needed is a plan or two that can keep the both end happy, instead of offering a plan that eventually driving successful teams away.
I never put mercury in my mouth but I played with it with bare hands quite frequently as a kid. It's dangerous if it gets hot and you breathe in the gas or if you drink it or get it in an open wound, but I always avoided those things. Lead's the same way: Hold it in the hand, don't ingest it, wash your hands afterward and there's nothing to worry about.
Can you elaborate on your hearts AV nerves? I don't really get it, but I sometimes wonder if my vagus nerve is damaged and your situation has some familiarity to me.

>you can still buy those on margin

That is absolutely not the case in a categorical sense.

Brokers can and do apply different margin requirements on a stock by stock or customer by customer basis. There's nothing out of the ordinary about a security not being marginable or having increased requirements due to risk assessment.

For example, here is a list of stocks at one broker with particular margin requirements, and it says it "changes frequently":

https://invest.ameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/u/MarginReq

Given that there are hundreds starting with "A", I'd assume the entire list is in the thousands, of securities that have individual margin requirements.

I think in fact the ticker GBTC which is a trust that owns Bitcoin isn't marginable.
They do that too, for a steeper discount. The annual contract option is good for someone who wants to pay monthly (less cash out of pocket right now) and knows they'll be using the software for at least 12 months. I would be surprised if that's not the majority of Adobe's customers, who work in a field that requires their use of Adobe software.
This was a big issue when the likes of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom came out (in fact, one of id's own staff members would regularly have to lie down on the floor to catch his bearings after a burst of play). I think it's just a case of a new immersive technology coming out, and people getting used to it. As someone else said, if the problem is less so for young people, then generationally it will become less of an issue as time goes on.
It says

All Apps

US$52.99/mo

with a button that says buy now. It says its an annual plan billed monthly in the item description after you put in in the cart for one screen prior to you paying for it with the description in small print off to the side wherein most users will see the form they are supposed to fill out and the brightly colored button below "continue to payment"

They get more clicks by not listing it as n dollars a month in one page, putting the description in small print on the side in another page, and mentioning the fee vaguely faded 6 point font on a third page.
Yea, it strikes me as a poor name. Cheeky perhaps. I once had someone take me aside and ask me if it was rude to use "blame" in github to figure out who touched a specific line. They thought the name implied some sort of finger pointing and fault.
Is this any different from AWS offering reserved instances? The pricing structure is the same: you pay by the month but commit to a year. Reserved instances seem perfectly fair to me: what's different here?
I see #1 happening, but I'm not sure how #2 would play out. Hundreds of billions of dollars spent on fabs, with close to 80% of their employees working in fabs 24/7. That would crater several towns in the US (Chandler, Santa Clara, Portland come time mind), and just be throwing away money. One hell of a capital loss! I think there are too many people high up at intel getting stinky rich to throw the company under the buss like that. But then again it might happen, you're not the first to suggest it.
$23B is nothing to sneer at but they’re going to put $20B into fabs (while TSMC puts in $100B). Their revenues are also significant but again,mits essentially all from CCS, a declining sector under attack. I hope they make it and they do have resources to put to work, but the odds are against them.

Your rose coloured glasses come from survivorship bias. Apple was a magical story, true. AMD made it but is a tiddler by comparison. Based on history, they’re going to need abnormally good luck.

Hi! Author of fs-crypt dropping in from the interwebs.

I also created eCryptfs, which was Ubuntu's original home directory encryption technology, with lots of additional distro integration work by Dustin Kirkland. Unfortunately I had to make some compromises when going with the stackable model, and that caused some problems.

I took the lessons I learned from that first attempt and created fs-crypt as a sort of atonement. I think I got a lot more right on my second attempt at file-base encryption in Linux. At least, it's good enough to be the technology that now encrypts Android storage.

The problem with Linux supporting stuff forever is that some things really need to be retired once a better solution has come along. However so long as there are eCryptfs users out there, I don't think it's going to ever go away at this point.
if you haven't read Immanuel Velikovsky, you should. start with "Worlds in Collision". he talks about this exact phenomenon.

disclaimer: his work is widely cited as pseudoscience. it's a good read if you're looking for entertainment value, but try not to take it too seriously :)
A single annual payment is a larger liability (for both parties) than the installment plan.

The way they show the prices is problematic. If 12 payments are expected, it should be reflected anywhere that price is shown. But I think it's fine if they are willing to offer a discount for agreeing to make 12 payments vs 1 payment.
I'm so confused on what you're saying. Are you saying it _isn't_ what commit last occurred on the given line?

How would you explain this UI? https://github.com/git/git/blame/master/blame.c

Ie, what does blame mean to you?
I'm not sure what you mean, but if a debt goes to collections that ends up on your credit report. It's not like you can just ignore it forever.

Just a note: Absinthe and the species of artemisia normally used for it's production are entirely non-psychoactive. It's contribution to French Bohemianism are about the same as any other cheap liquor. It does not provide anything close to the the effects of oxygen-deprivation like the article talks about.
Probably way off-topic but I hope this doesn't imply that cars are going the way of Smart TV's where they have some annoying and underpowered tech in them to force an early obsolescence on a machine that is otherwise fine and could last decades.

But I suspect that ship is sailing regardless.
Language limits what you can think. For example, you clearly feel that an interned symbol is essential to "lisp". But if I think about Lisp as lambda calculus notation there is no notion of "interned", yet it is still "lisp".

When I transliterate to Python I am not, by definition, worried about performance. Python has horrible performance.

Ah, the "Pythonic way" of doing things! Like the "Steve Jobs" way of doing things, aka the one-finger interface. "Steve Jobs thinking" would bring us a "self-driving car" that we "drove" by tracing a finger along a moving map, clicking on stop signs to stop. We'd be singing about how marvelous it is... it "automatically" blinks the turn signal when we trace a finger along a left turn! Python is the "Steve Jobs" of languages and thought: so easy! so intuitive! so limited!

You ask "Are you sure your language of thought is really Lisp?". I'm also a mathematician. You're asking me if I think about math in terms of multiplication. I do, but not the way you expect. MY multiply can be non-commutative if I'm working in matrix algebra. It can be a map function in category theory. It can be limited to finite fields or expanded to octonions. I'm still thinking of "multiply"; I'm just not limited to numbers.

Similarly, when I'm thinking about a problem my "lisp thinking" isn't limited to symbols. I worked on a Human-Robot cooperative task to change a car tire. I needed a knowledge base...lisp (aka Scone). I needed rules... lisp (aka ops5). I needed human language... lisp (my own code). I needed it all to work together so that rules could be represented as knowledge and knowledge could be expressed as rules (all were defstructs). When thinking about the problem I could write "lisp pseudocode" and then simply execute it. If I needed "multiply" to be non-commutative in some section of code I knew I could make it work trivially. Indeed I didn't even have to think about it.

Thinking in Lisp has nothing to do with interned symbols, just as thinking in math has nothing to do with numbers.

Thinking in Python is like doing math on a calculator. Everything is "Pythonic", but just like your "calculator" in math, limited to numbers.

I think the reason people "don't get lisp" until "they get lisp!" (aka the epiphany event) is that they stop thinking in other languages and begin to think in lisp. A whole new world opens.
I love that Bobby Jones got some of the money to build Augusta National by betting on himself to win all 4 majors in a single year (though at the time the majors were the British Am, the Open, US Open and US Am). Jones remains the only person to ever do that, though Tiger came close when he held all 4 majors at the same time but not in the same calendar year.

I also love that while CBS has broadcast the Masters every year since the mid 50s, it's always on a one year agreement that they re-up each and every year.

I don't love that Augusta has such a history of racism and sexism, but they are at least trying to address it (though they will likely never acknowledge the many, many mistakes of the past). Honouring Lee Elder and making sure new generations of golf fans know about him was a nice guesture this year. It was special to see a Japanese champion don the green jacket 10 years after coming to prominence in world golf due to winning the Asia-Pacific Am, getting a spot in the Masters and being low Am, all Augusta sponsored events to grow the game's inclusivity (though a little rich from one of the most exclusive clubs in the world). The Am event for women is another step in the right direction, but I really want to see the top women in the world tee it up for 4 days with the same kind of coverage the man receive. Augusta has made a lot of positive changes, but they shouldn't get a free pass to ignore some very despicable behaviour, some of it far too recent.
That’s the Mini. That’s not the M1.
I think Qubes OS is a great example. It's a system that besides the security benefits also gives me the control to remove jank from other software (usually software that thinks it should take control of my computer to do what it feels is the right thing)
Tip for that situation: Since Heroku runs on AWS, you can just use a single RDS DB instance to serve as the database for a bunch of hobby instances. Really hard to beat the $5/dyno hobby pricing considering the feature set.
I guess that makes sense and is one consequence of moving so many things to an abstract 'service' model. Many services are essentially free to provide - until you count all the other overheads any business also has to pay for. It's not as simple as buying and selling berries like you say.
That's interesting. That crate provides immutable access only and requires the fields to be trivial to copy. For example, I think there's no way for you to mutate one field if you've handed out a lense to a different field.

The core problem would be you can't write something like this

fn return_part() -> &Part {
let whole = get_whole();
&whole.part
}

because whole is "dropped" at the end of the function call.

If you want to hand out parts you have to put the whole somewhere where it will stick around until you're done with the parts, and doing that nicely pretty much requires GC (you could also use lenses only in very restricted scopes or just leak memory).
So WebAssembly is basically Flash in terms of security?
When you lease an apartment or a car, the monthly rate stated is usually the actual month-to-month cost. They don't demand a full year in advance to get the stated cost, or increase the monthly cost because you didn't pay for a year upfront.

That's why this pricing feels dishonest, even if it's technically true. Other companies handle it much more fairly. If you want to subscribe to World of Warcraft, Blizzard makes it clear that it's $15 per month. With discounts offered if you pay for 6 months at a time. That type of pricing feels honest, with a reward for paying for multiple months. Makes the customer feel better than Adobe's presentation, even though it's essentially the same type of pricing scheme as Adobe.
That stone age artists were using mind-altering effects is a pretty easy ballpark guess. I think most hunter-gatherer societies involve hallucinogens of various sorts in their religious ceremonies, the Romans and Greeks used a significant amount of drugs (the Oracle at Delphi was known for this) and Alcohol use was vastly larger at the time of the thirteen colonies.

Largely depends.

Most of my work comes through people/companies I've previously worked with and recommendations. As much as possible I try to set things up so they rely on their cloud provider for support, but most questions are either simple enough that I share my advice freely or can charge a day rate to do some work. I insist on working with at least one person to own the accounts & code/state (which can be like paid training for them). They may be paying for my knowledge/experience, but I prefer to leave them artifacts to reference after I'm done.

I charge reasonable contractor rates per diem.

I also have a full time job, so while I'd be open to taking a retainer to be available for immediate work, the fee that I would charge for such a contract is absurd. Basically more than my full-time employment.
I find it fine for software to not be open source. Source-available but closed-source (in terms of freedom) is perfectly fine from a commercial standpoint and should be the gold-standard for mission-critical software in the backend. The problem comes from companies touting their software as open source purely for the marketing aspect in order to bring in customers and get free work done by people who don't get paid.
Agreed, my experience is CA-specific (though it also appears to be true in some other metros like Boston). The thing I was surprised about is that it's pretty normal for specifics in leases to not be legally enforceable, if not outright illegal.

Normally I'd have had a cordial discussion with my landlord, but in this case the landlord was a giant corporate REIT whose boilerplate lease was largely unenforceable (no doubt they know this, and have figured out that people assume leases are legally binding regardless of the terms).
