I regularly ask about CORS in interviews.

The issue most developers have with CORS is that on a team, one person solves it for the team's local development and maybe another person solves it for deployments. That is, most of the team never deals with it at all.

> When everything in localhost/http you don't see any issues.

I find the opposite to be true with React dev. You run an api on one port and your react app on another and get CORS errors. In a regular deployment, you just allow origins in the server and all is good. On localhost, every time you change/add a port, you have to allow another origin, play some proxy shenanigans, or run your browser without CORS.

The act of fasting, i.e. calorie restrictions, is good for you. It confers actual health benefits.

True, but don't forget humans are creatures of habit and traditions.

Some still worship some guy that died 2021+ years ago (or so) . We made our calendar around his whole life. With holy days and all.

And another set of humans worship another person that lived around 1500 years ago

To a degree yes. Until the virus evolves to just break down parts of plastic. Given enough time virus will do whatever it needs to survive.

There are already microbes that breakdown plastic and virus are adept at horizontal gene transfer (between different species or genus altogether).

At the same time there are counter examples of North Korea, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and India (since 2014) a authoritarian rule bring more economic downfall with concentration of power and wealth in the hands of selected few.

Indeed the most interesting example in this is India where growth, prosperity and position on human development index became better when it was free than at present when it is partly free.

China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan grown exponentially not due to authoritarian rule but due to the hard work of their people and in the belief that with hard work they can change life (very much embedded in Confucius teachings). The only thing government did was not to come in the way of the people to have better life through hard work.
Gold is also the most reasonable element to use as a store of value. It isn't very reactive or radioactive, so it's stable for long periods of time, it's a solid at room temperature, it's not hazardous to human health, it's easily manipulated and formed, and it's not super abundant but also not super rare. Silver is the only other element that comes close, and it tarnishes.

Thousands of dollars are only possible with luxury cars.

VW, one of the two largest auto makers, makes around 300€ profit per vehicle sale (excluding luxury brands). For some models it's even less than 100€. You can calculate around 1% profit for a car sale, often less.

The actual money is in leasing and financing, which is why almost all automakers own a bank.

Just want to add this here in case anybody's unfamiliar: PrEP can also be taken on an event-driven schedule, rather than the daily dose most people are familiar with. Under this regime, you take two doses two hours before sexual activity (or upto 24 hours earlier), followed by a single dose 24 hours after the first 2 pills, and a final dose 24 hours after that. If sexual activity can be planned or is infrequent, this 2+1+1 regime might be preferred.
I think all elected US Reps, Senators, VP+POTUS, appointed Federal Judges should have their investments held in blind trusts, and this should be a statutory requirement for holding these offices.

It’s crazy to me that congress doesn’t have more restrictions on trading given their power and information about the markets. Interns at an investment bank are more restricted in their trading.

Does anyone know how we know these were options trades? From the screenshots of the raw data I’ve seen it’s not clear to me how options are differentiated from a market purchase of the same equities.

Czech Rep. here.

A lot of our original industrial development prior to 1900 was done in conditions of very limited democracy. Only wealthy people and the middle class could vote before 1907. (After that, franchise was extended to all men over 24.) Prior to that, you had to pay some minimal yearly taxes in order to have a vote, which excluded majority of the population.

After 1989, a large element in our prosperity was geographic proximity to Germany. Germans outsourced a lot of production to the Visegrad states. It definitely helped grow our GDP, but it also puts sorta-kinda ceiling on it. The most valuable parts of the entire production chain are still back in the West and they are not going to move abroad.

BTW Viktor Orbán is a great friend of the German investors and they protect him quite a bit as well. It seems that investors do not care about local state of politics much, only about stability.

We invented smashed avocado on toast and pioneered the evolution of brunch from a novelty into a globally-recognised art form. You're welcome.
the underlying problem is that spam of any format is very cheap. if just 1% of people respond, it pays for sending out all of the robocalls/texts/emails. it's very difficult to legislate against economics like that

what we need are better spam filters for calls, texts and physical mail. allow people to pay to blacklist numbers that have a high probability of being spam. I'd imagine that "real" numbers get an average level of incoming calls, messages and push notifications that a spam number wouldn't

it might also make sense to allow private or government white listing. ie, prove that your phone number belongs to a "real" person potentially by paying a one time application fee. with enough adoption, that could change the spam economic equation
Good to know! Thanks for the example. Looking forward to giving this a spin!
> What is the overhead for Morpheus?

If you accept that kind of overhead, why not just go the Burroughs B5000/Lisp Machine/etc. route and have a hardware instruction set which is essentially byte code for a safe machine, which cannot be tricked into reading and writing in arbitrary places.

Of course, then you would still have the problem of actual security holes in programs which has bugs, which Morpheus effectively hides, by obscuring them.
Arguably nothing.

Except with gold, there's a history of greater or lesser fools buying it from you that goes back thousands of years; there are a great many non-scam businesses trading in it, and they ain't come out with many new precious metals in my lifetime.

Cryptocurrencies have a much shorter history, an exceptionally large number of scams, and nigh-limitless supply of new types of coin and token.
As other have said it's likely a second sphere there for illustration purposes. Also, I wonder if the original sphere would outright vaporize or melt into the block.
The criminal justice system already does this extensively. Often people are sentenced to community service.

So I guess your question is really should this be extended to more low-level offenses like minor traffic violations?

It's an interesting question. In Switzerland, for example, speeding above a certain level ceases to be a fixed fine and is instead a percentage of your income. I'm a fan of that. Fixed fines tend to discriminate against the poor disproportionately.

I can imagine there are many people who would be better off and would prefer 2-4 hours of community service over a $100 fine. So that should certainly be an option instead of paying the fine.

Yeah I think the idea probably does have merit.
Even if true (and apparently some German officials are saying it isn't), the contracts go through the end of 2021 is my understanding, so that makes these announcements a bit less significant than the headlines suggests.

To be honest, it seems like there is an argument to be made that the rich countries _should_ stop buying the J&J and AZ vaccines, except perhaps to donate to poorer countries, because the mRNA vaccines are much more challenging for poorer countries to use (multiple doses, refrigeration more challenging). I wonder if the focus on (very rare) side effects is part of an effort to lay the groundwork for doing that without a huge backlash from rich country citizens.
> Hmm, what did I miss, why do people hate them exactly?

They operate in a weird gray-zone between being just compile-time types vs. an actual readonly object in the runtime. I don't think I've seen a use case for them yet that wouldn't have been better accomplished with a union type of string literals and using const string literals in the code.
Graphics? Hmm when I was coding 3d graphics there was matrix multiplication and rotation etc,

Assuming that WebAssembly is for performance is an invalid assumption. The reason for WebAssembly is to provide a runtime environment for AOT compiled languages such as C++, Rust. The performance of programs written on those languages and compiled to the Webasm target may or may not exceed the performance of a program of the same functionality written in JS and executing in the same V8. There's no reason to expect performance to be radically different just because it's Wasm.
> The secret to not having hospitals overwhelmed is to have enough capacity in the first place

Enough for what? Hospital capacity was wildly sufficient for regular times, but the pandemic turned that around. Even Germany, which has multiple times the capacity per capita than France, is struggling in that regard. What is "enough"?

> but also to avoid superspreader events

Lol. Events with more than 2000 people outside ( at the best of times, usually it has been flat out forbidden), and 6-100 inside have been forbidden in France since last year. That obviously didn't help.

> Most other lockdown measures are questionable at best, including mandatory mask usage. They are clearly symbolic tools for the political class to signal that something is being done, but the data to support them is not very strong considering that there is not much of a control group.

There is, check the US and Brazil.
No. Real ones. The supply cap is just decided by a coded algorithm. That algorithm can change and the social consensus can and will accept that change. Democracies moved off of the gold standard didn’t they?
Without any hesitation I would recommend the Ivan Bratko book, it is so densely filled with knowledge. Prolog is vastly different from other programming systems and some of the concepts take a bit of exposition before they sink in, and this book very much strives to explain quite a lot of mysterious things.

> If you tell the user exactly what they did wrong, they will keep trying by changing very little in the original video until it gets past bots, but still keeps the illegal or "forbidden" message.

I think there's a possibility to implement that handles the issue you describe.

It's trivial to detect an user trying to circumvent content controls if he's trying that from the same account. When that is detected the user account can be put into manual mode review or automatically block new uploads for a while.

If circumvent is tried with different accounts the current system already doesn't prevent that so nothing is lost.
They work, but at least AZ is working hard to NOT deliver vaccines to EU. (and sending those manufactured in EU to the UK).

Remember when Italians found 15M vaccines at the factory?
I don't know why AZ representatives aren't prosecuted for such behavior of the company.

So I think it is a good call to wait for the contract to end.

Studied is a big word but (on the fiction side) most things by Greg Egan keep me reading with ease. Also Harry Potter :). But also the Commonwealth Saga 1 and 2 by Peter F. Hamilton, the 3 books after that I never finished. Dune kept me going for 5 books until I stopped. On the non-fiction side, Richard Dawkins is a good writer.
That's an interesting point - on the topic of readability, its often argued that the more abstract symbols and operators used, the harder it is to read (I think this is why operator overloading is sometimes frowned upon). But if you are not fluent in English, it wouldn't be much more accessible than a purely symbolic language.

The tricky thing about this, is we search based on language all the time. It's harder to search for an operator if you don't already know what that operator is called.

Maybe you could build this into the tooling of the symbolic language? E.g. provide a semantic name for a given std lib function in your chosen language, and get intellisense in your language.
Well, probably the biggest thing is it's not promised, and any returns are not being fabricated (a ponzi scheme will generally promise X% return, and will claim to have made X% on the invested money, when in reality they have made no return. When you buy bitcoin you get some bitcoin, which may or may not go up in price, but it's clear what you do and don't have).

It also doesn't explain why that's worse than the current practice of directly identifying individuals. Which is the hard bit.

>now that HIV isn't a death sentence

So long as the supply chains keep running, insurance keeps paying for the drugs (which can cost thousands of USD per month over the course of a patient's entire life), the drugs reach the patient, and the patient takes all their drugs on schedule.

If at all possible, I'd rather avoid a life-or-death dependence on global supply chains, pharmaceutical factories, and insurance agents most of all. People die every year for lack of insulin, and that drug is much cheaper, more well-understood biologically, and more widely available than HIV medications.

The check whether a token is a number happens before the check whether a token is a name, as evinced by both the source code and a trivial debugger session.

You are conflating the fact that there is an order to the rules with a strawman that the rules _must_ be evaluated in a specific order. All of the quotes you pulled are facts (Python checks if a token is a number before it checks if it is a name, Python checks if a token is a literal before it checks if it is a name, and the rules are not evaluated concurrently), but your strawman is making a different claim.
