I'd love to go all in on something like TypeScript but as long as it's backed by a runtime without true concurrency it can never be "the right tool for all jobs". Same problem with Python which I would also like to embrace but ultimately always have to complement with something that can do real multithreading.
unlock is one thing. turning off security features requires another input of the actual pin passcode.
Bitcoin is useful for illegal things because they are illegal, morality does not enter in to it. If those things became legal, bitcoin wouldn't be needed for them anymore.

If the US dollar fails in the near future, your bit coin will be mostly useless because the global system that generates wealth and handles logistics will have broken. People will be starving, bartering and looting. nobody will want to give you anything of value for some stupid worthless ones and zeros.

Bitcoin as a hedge against the collapse of the dollar is a ridiculous investment.
This isn't how people actually use phones. People upgrade more frequently because they want new phones. The percentage that is considering the security of their device is a single digit percentage.
I had the opposite experience for a sexual assault case. I demonstrated knowledge of legal procedure and general intelligence and was selected immediately.

I was asked about possible conflicts of interest and indicated that my father is an attorney who practiced in the same state. Asked for my profession, I replied that I am a bioinformaticist and was asked to explain the term. I said "I write computer code to help biologists analyze and use their data." This was in a university town. The prosecutor opined that I must be "pretty smart" and that she expected I came with an understanding of biology and biotechnology, all of which I affirmed. She asked if I would use that knowledge to assess DNA evidence that could be presented during the trial. I responded "No, I would limit my interpretation to only what was provided by testimony or otherwise affirmed during the trial." The prosecutor looked momentarily surprised at the precision with which my answer addressed the legal burdens required of a finder of fact, and then simply replied, "Ok, thank you." I was then immediately named to the jury.

Perhaps your attitude or delivery got you dismissed, or perhaps your choice of words suggested the opposite of what you imply here - a fundamentally flawed perception of the role of the prosecution? It's certainly technically correct that the prosecutor represents the state, not the victim, and that victim representation is its own ball of wax. Your reasoning, however, seems suspect. Paraphrasing: "Because the victim is not represented by the prosecutor, I have no problem with his not testifying." That's a non sequitur; the antecedent in no way implies the consequent. I could see the prosecutor rejecting you for appearing to be trying to impress (and failing) with your grasp of legal reasoning, fearing that you might not faithfully execute the court's instructions.

Then again, there are probably plenty of attorneys that just don't trust smart people.

Isn't lying to trick people for financial gain to their detriment fraud?

> Fraud is an intentionally deceptive action designed to provide the perpetrator with an unlawful gain or to deny a right to a victim. Types of fraud include tax fraud, credit card fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud, and bankruptcy fraud. Fraudulent activity can be carried out by one individual, multiple individuals or a business firm as a whole.

Seems to me like lying on this contract should constitute fraud.
I’m not sure you can remove any driving deaths as alcohol or drug related. A hypothetical FSD system would be a solution to those deaths too, and as long as you are driving on the same road as everyone else, abstaining from them yourself still puts you at risk.
> One worry is that if a vaccine allows for transmission but doesn't generate anything when it comes to effects from the virus

That isn't a real worry, that is a science-fiction worry.

Viral load, transmissibility and virulence are fairly tightly coupled and they will definitely not come fully uncoupled like that.
Sports or Extra Curricular Activities come with additional responsibilities than simply attending school. When you participate in these activities you become a representative of the school. In a simple example this is why most sports teams ( used to ) wear ties and or slacks on game day.

The community and the school views you as an extension of the school's pride and standards. You sign a contract to this affect when you join the activity.

Cheerleading has a unique set of requirements beyond other programs. In some schools the student body votes for the cheer squad, in others the ASB council does. Sometimes they are members of the ASB council. In some schools that are actually considered a sport ( inside joke for other who have been involved in cheer, and yes it is one of if not the toughest sport ).

This makes the contract a Cheerleader signs a bit different than other activities. The contracts do become a bit vague. However, sending out an instagram as the one in this instance would certainly fail the criteria for most cheer contracts.

Activities outside of school typically prohibited by most activity contracts include drinking, attending parties where illegal activities are occurring, being arrested, disparaging your team or opponent, bullying any member of the student body, etc.

My two cents, the severity of the punishment is the problem. I believe the penalty outweighed the violation. A single game suspension and an apology would have been a better teachable response. Instead they created a crisis where one did not exist.
Appreciation due to contracting supply. In a fractional reserve system, if monetary velocity is low enough the total supply naturally shrinks. This is the "pro-savings, deflation-allowable" economy I am responding to. Money can appreciate in the sense that there is literally less of it to be spent on things, in aggregate. It's a pretty basic econ 101 supply and demand problem.

Aggregate demand and supply is very much affected by currency and commodity appreciation, contrary to what you're saying. Additionally there is volatility, and there is price discovery. Today, right now. Things are already how you want them to be. The dollar depreciates and appreciates against commodities and other currencies all the time.
• When playing Monopoly, spend all you have to buy, barter, or trade for the Orange properties. Don’t bother with Utilities.

Here's some better advice: don't play Monopoly! There are many, many new board games in the world that are incomparably better. One of the most grievous flaws of Monopoly is that it depends on the terrible mechanic of player elimination - the winner is the last player who hasn't been eliminated. That means if you have a game night with four people, then two people have to sit around bored, after they've been eliminated, while the remaining players fight it out.

No. You can give the CRA money, and they will take it, gladly, but this doesn't change the credit data they hold about you, which says (for example) that you skipped out on all the utility bills at a place you owned 18 months ago.

I've sat in on calls from consumers to a CRA when I worked there. The typical thrust of the call is that the caller believes they are a good person and so the records of them doing stuff creditors won't approve of should be purged, the CS agent explains that they can purge anything if the consumer sends them proof it is wrong, for example if the record says somebody went to County Court and secured a judgement against them for £800 then a letter from the court saying "Whoops, our bad, we wrote Michael Smith, 43 from Leicester in this judgement but we meant somebody else entirely" will get that erased from their record. But just calling and moaning about how you really wanted to buy a new car but your credit is bad doesn't change anything.

I didn't see any sign there was a way to short cut any of this by paying for credit reports. I guess if you don't remember all the times you didn't pay your bills then a web site that lists them is handy? But that seems like that's on you.

I actually had reports from all the big CRAs in my country, and the best ones (with the most comprehensive coverage, so, Experian, who also happened to be my employer at the time) basically just say this guy seems to pay for some basic utillities and he pays on time. And that's it. The worst ones are like "This guy exists, and we don't have good data so shrug".

The best way to begin "fixing" your credit? Which all of these companies will recommend, but it's no big secret at all? Register to vote.

Creditors prefer to lend to people who actually exist. Governments don't want people who don't exist voting. So register to vote and immediately confidence that you're actually a real person, with a postal address, shoots up.

The next step is easy for me but apparently lots of people find it almost impossible. Pay bills! Got a phone? Agree to pay the phone company to use the phone and then... actually pay them for it. Again, your credit worthiness shoots up because creditors want to get paid, and showing you have some idea how to actually do that part is a good sign.

Now, if you're trying to persuade somebody to lend you Ferrari 488 money on a Fiat Uno income, those two basic tips won't get you there. You're going to need to learn how to manage exactly the right levels of debt, what's recorded and what isn't, lots of tricks. But I assure you that you aren't going to learn that stuff by paying a CRA, because it's like learning how to clip out of bounds in a video game, the designers of the game don't even understand it well.
Which is pretty much impossible if you let people have the physical cars. They will report their speed to other cars, they will measure their speed from pulses generated by something rotating on the vehicle, replace rotating thing with your function generator and then you can tell other cars you are going any speed you want. Turn up your reported speed and watch all the other cars get out of your way!
Does this mean that all workers and contractors will be treated the same, and given free range data access, regardless of the politics of their home country (ie China or Russia)?

I decided to learn Verilog after reading of a different division. Namely that VHDL is the preferred option of defense industry applications in the US, Verilog preferred in non-MIC business. Given the advantages of VHDL over Verilog looked less than overwhelming and Verilog has some advantages of its own, (verilator, seemingly more RISC-V cores in verilog, open-source tool chain looks closer to being useful to me etc.) That's the call I made. It looks like it's not so hard to switch from one to the other if you need to do that though.

> Computers probably can not be worse that the people already on the road.

Computers are better than some drivers, but they're worse than others. If the goal is safety, computerized assistance is almost certainly better than self driving. Keeping the human driver engaged and doing their best, but having the computer supervising works a lot better than having the human supervising; it's hard for a human to remain alert enough to intervene quickly enough when needed. I don't know if there are good studies yet, but I expect automatic emergency braking to reduce severity of a lot of collissions. Cross traffic warnings probably eliminates a lot of minor (and some major) collisions. There are systems now to detect wakefulness; if those are combined with something to safely pull over and stop, that could reduce a lot of tragic collisions as well.
To be clear, I never advocated a "trezor" and I wasn't aware of the term before you mentioned it just now. I am only suggesting that you keep your keys close, and trust them with noone.

> Sure, but that's not a feature of Monads themselves, but a feature of the excellent generic programming support in Haskell

This easiness comes from the existence of fmap, which is defined for any functor (monads are all functors). To instance it and get haskell's lovely syntax, any given "container" has to define its own fmap implementation. So it is a feature of monads. If you implement a monad in another language, you're still going to be defining fmap (or an equivalent), which lets you use this.

Why is it that everybody suddenly thinks they should get to decide what's "misinformation" for everybody else?

Who gets to decide?

Tech companies built on surveillance and manipulation of people for engagement and advertising? The state, with all its history of mistreating various groups of citizens, and constant propaganda? The media, who have recently abandoned even the pretence of honestly reporting on, rather than trying to steer, political winds?

None of these institutions can be trusted, therefore the idea of "controlling misinformation" itself is anathema to a free society.

> 14 letters from family and friends who describe the defendant as a selfless and hardworking man

I've known a couple of people in the habit of scanning or ripping the books/movies/whatever they come across. Some do it for status in an exclusive group, or for online cred. That seems to be the angle he's going for.

But you know? Most do this quite anonymously. Endless books and movies and software out there uploaded by [anonymous]. What could be the motive for that? There is no recognition, no status, no money in it. I would guess a genuine political or social belief that making such information freely available is a good thing in its own right, such that it outweighs the harms of infringing copyright. Necessity is the defence, at least the one they give to themselves if they question it.

But I guess you can't say that in court when facing a year or more in prison. Wilful civil disobedience tends to be punished the harshest.
This is a more bizarre response. You literally take the worst interpretation out of everything, and calling it accurate would be very generous.

>You were caught putting deceptive language in your contracts.

I'm curious if there's a way you can mess up language in a contract that isn't deceptive/misleading?

>You're on probation. This is nothing to be excited about

This is standard procedure, but you're clearly painting it as if they've been knocked down another peg.

>The BPPE does not endorse schools. They simply said you were no longer operating illegally.

Interesting that “job-killing” is the argument used when it seems “taxpayer-evicting” is a more general and immediate concern. Regular people understand that stock market gains are the inflation lifeboats. Unfortunately regular people will be stuck with the bill while rich people leave (or don’t come, if they were planning to).

"The most commonly implicated virus [in the common cold] is a rhinovirus (30–80%). Other commonly implicated viruses include human coronaviruses (≈ 15%), influenza viruses (10–15%), adenoviruses (5%)." [1]

Not only are Toyota’s more reliable in the long run, they have fewer defects out of the factory, fewer lemons, and because of this reputation they don’t depreciate as quickly.

There are people who even have a lot of money who either find getting a phone difficult or unable to get one. I am surprised there have been zero lawsuits or legal cases regarding this.
