I find it unreasonable in this case as well, just like when people ask for studies during the course of a conversation.
It cuts the conversation short and it brings nothing to the table, at worst people will come up with studies they haven't read and that often neither side is equipped to critically interpret and analyze (and doing so would take hours or days of work for an expert). To me it's a falsely scientific method of discourse, I'd rather have people elaborate on their personal opinion and use case than anything like this.

This is quite interesting.

I've debated for awhile trying to write a "UEFI DOS" for awhile. Thus far I've always shied away because of the sheer immensity of just getting a UEFI dev env set up much less one that would support emulation/virtualization of DOS applications so they could pretend they are on original hardware.

All of that is not even considering the whole bytecode vs. native issue...

Nobody is talking about sales pitches - the FTC in the USA also has a do not call list.

This is about scam callers that set up pop up operations make a few bucks close down and repeat. This happens just as much here in the EU. Most of these calls do not even come from the EU/USA though they do have operatives here. The vast majority of victims are older people that don’t understand they are being scammed.

I know NOL carryforwards are reported today, done it myself for a small corp. I don't see anyone up in arms about it. A NOL carryforward is easily understood, and legitimate ones don't last long, especially against scaled massive profits.

They don't begin to explain the decades of major US corps, including the FAANG group, of paying zero-to-trivial US taxes.

It is the long-term sum of all the evasion, even if it is technically legal, that amounts to theft.

Even if it is technically legal, the net result is theft. There are many tax dodges that are -in practice- available only to large corporations simply because the costs of the setup and/or the costs of the army of financial experts and tax attnys is so high that it only works at scale. So FAANGs can take advantage of it, and leave the tax bill to all the small startups.

If you have a better solution, by all means, propose it.

Stop making single-point excuses about the trees when the forest is the problem.

I’ve used The Hacker Diet online for years, but it’s looking more and more dated and I have a scale that shows weight and body fat percentage and I wanted to track both (I’ve lost 25 lbs of fat during the pandemic, 30 lbs total).

I’m not really a web developer, I do low-level C and SystemVerilog. I have done a couple little Django projects before, however, so this wasn’t completely new to me. I used Pandas for the first time here.

The story with lockdown is a lot muddier. There's a good argument to be made on both sides, and weighing which decision is best with partial data is difficult.

I completely understand the initial lockdowns when we had no data. I would have done that too, although I would have acted sooner because I saw this threat clearly in January - why our governments were less competent across the board than some rando programmer is something I haven't forgiven.

What I don't understand is now that we have data, we're still doing lockdowns with no attempt to publicly weigh the pluses and minuses and justify three decision logically. I mean maybe it's the right thing to do, but I want to see them put some real thought into the decision, and not do it because it's what they're before, or what's politically viable.

There should be a clear logical argument being made, weighing the harms on both sides and choosing the lesser evil.

> Bitcoin deanonymization is probably a small risk in the scheme of things

its really not.

unlike cash or bearer bonds, _all_ transactions are recorded in perpetuity. That's literally the entire selling point of bitcoin, the ledger is opensource and universal.

Given that virtually all money going into and coming out of bitcoin is through establishments that have financial licenses, its perfectly trivial to trace the flow of money from its first exchange of real cash for bitcoin, to when its used for illicit purposes.

You're currently labouring under the impression that tracing cash flows in the real world is hard. its not, especially for a government. what is hard is proving that its illicit. cash is fungible, as in each unit of currency has no ID. so its much harder to prove that this $1 came from a drug sale.

with bitcoin, you have a public wallet, and a clear lineage of transactions from start to end.
Yeah literally, is it not just a connected graph of transactions? Sounds like smart people can split and roll and all this stuff to their main transaction to try to obfuscate it. But with the proper tool, couldn't the FBI use powerful computers to fill the graph in with human links and deduce a lot from it?

XMR I don't know though.
The mainstream is confused by the sheer number of coins available. For example, I have never heard of zcash or aztek. I have no idea what they're about or how long they've existed, or whether or not they're a scam.

I understand there are different uses for all of these coins, vaguely. But I also have no idea which are scams, which are not, and which are good for what I need. Further, I have zero idea where to even start to evaluate those three points, let alone the trading process.

And a lot of that issue is because crypto zealots are sort of awful to deal with, because many times they are needlessly condescending. Ask for help in crypto forums, and you get responses such as, "don't be clueless" or "use [insert weirdly named coin here], obviously [zero references to follow this statement]."

Also, the number of people shilling various coins is genuinely startling. Too many people have too much invested in too many coins for me to be comfortable that I'm not being scammed.

It's unfortunately not a widely supported spec. hypothes.is [0] is the most widely used desktop client, but they don't have a mobile client, and as of last time I checked they don't actually use the data model internally, they just expose a Web Annotation API.

I wasn't aware of F-Droid but just created an issue to track publishing releases there here [1]. I'm not sure the inclusion timeline on their side but the work on my side should fast follow guest auth support.

Edit: to clarify _why_ authentication is currently required - the username is used as a primary key on associated data (e.g. annotations), and since I'm actively working on this, I try to personally reach out to everyone via email in order to solicit feedback. You can view the privacy here [2]. I'll move to support an optional auth flow regardless.

It appears you are using one definition of lock in while others are using another. What your version of lock in seems to entail is deliberate actions by the hosting provider to force you to stay with their offering. When I (and others it seems) use it, it just means the natural friction that keeps you in the provider. It doesnt have to be a deliberate strategy to be lock in. That doesnt make it any less difficult/painful to migrate.

You absolutely can. If you think your dismissal was due to a discriminatory reason, you can absolutely challenge it, no matter what was actually officially given as the reason. After all no one ever writes "fired for being black" yet people win racial discrimination cases all the time. 2 years or not, you have that right.

What you cannot do is challege as dismissal as unfair for any non-discriminatory reason. It has absolutely nothing to do with what the employer wrote down as the reason for dismissal, it's the question of what grounds are you challenging them on.

Louis Rossman had his YouTube account temporarily suspended for posting a video entitled “An angry clinton” which was a video of his pet cat Clinton meowing. Human moderation is needed in cases like this. There is obviously no analysis of the video content, the algorithm looks for keywords in the video title. The keywords used by the algorithm are centered around protecting Democratic politicians from criticism. There is no advanced AI going on, the algorithm is simple pattern matching.

Is it really that bad and different than what they do in the physical world? If someone breaks into your home and they are still inside when the police show up, they won't just give you a call and tell you someone is inside your home. They will go in there and get the criminal out of your home. The threat actors are actively stealing information and are inside the networks of many companies, some with the expertise to get rid of the bad guys but some without that expertise. Yes, invading networks without warrants to investigate and prosecute people would be extremely bad. But this seems like it falls on the exigent circumstances side of the law and doesn't sound so bad.

Because I've played enough FPS games as a kid, and played enough with FOV parameter in their debug consoles to know how 160° FOV looks like on a render :). The FOVO picture is the one that looks normal; the stretchy one is a traditional perspective projection.

(As for why I played with FOV command? Curiosity, plus if you bound a key on your keyboard to set FOV to 30-40 on keypress and restore it to normal on release, you got free sniper scope on every weapon :).)

Fear to go anywhere near a medical environment. Long delays and cancelled procedures and appointments because medical professionals had other priorities.
Probably every drug has risks, many higher than the 1:1,000,000 reported for AZ/J&J. It's always a balance between the risk untreated vs. treated - many cancer drugs will kill you, but slower than they kill the cancer. Contraceptives have various issues, but their "social good" is deemed worthwhile.

I've read that they are doing gene analysis to try and determine why these cases appear - is it gender, age, cross-reactions with other meds, ...? And recall that some of these conditions appear without obvious causes. If they're due to an overly aggressive immune response, recall that the cytokine storm caused by covid in such cases is what attacks the lungs (why immunosuppressants are used as treatments).

And nobody understands Long Covid.
Bureaucracy, and scarcity. Personal freedom to buy it would be great if there were more than plenty for everyone, but right now they should be given to those who have a much higher risk of severe complications and/or death. Not even the US allows private selling right now.
