I mean you will see people here on this forum argue that bitcoin mostly uses up peak energy and unused capacity and such bullshit nonsense - it's frankly not that hard to spin a narrative that could sound plausable.

But then when you see people firing up coal plants in your back yard just to mine BTC (as opposed to China) reality suddenly kicks in and it's hard to spin bullshit arround that. Regulators are really dropping the ball on crypto - corporate entities should not be allowed to fuel this shit.

That's not the only difference. People occupy way more space in the US.

For example, the population density of Paris is about 20 times that of Atlanta, a city ~3x as large (including the Greater Atlanta Area).

Notion is probably the most prominent startup to make .so (somalia) domain more acceptable. I've seen plenty of .io and .ai, but .so was new for me when I first saw it.

I thought it was a scam when I tried Notion 3 years ago.
Fully diluted means if all currently issued options, warrants, convertible bonds, etc are converted to shares. It obviously can't account for future financing rounds which aren't even yet contemplated.
If the hiring pool is remote, then the local market rates don’t matter. Perhaps an open cost of living difference could be ok, but there is no market rate justification.
Nah. It will never stop.

The problem is information density.

So long as billions of records that are needed for the business exist in a device the size of a shoebox, we’re fucked. An insider can always take the shoebox, lock the shoebox, etc.

Three stories of paper files in file cabinets can’t be ransomed short of a physical bomb threat.

Don’t know what the solution is. But I do know the problem. Exfiltrarion is similar: the odd quirk of technology that has enabled these massive thefts is the ability to load millions of pages in a few seconds into a thumb drive. Odd pickle we’ve got ourselves into.
You're missing the point. The point is how easy it becomes to destroy planetary targets once you start having an extra-earth presence as a society. You literally drop heavy stuff from orbit and you have a nuke. You need an actual, guidable, nuke (or self propelled object) to have the same effect on a space station or asteroid.

He could have done that by continuing to tweet random meme nonsense and not run afoul of the SEC. Getting Tesla to pile in on BTC makes it a potential regulatory issue.
Nytro Hackathon powered by NYZO, up to $10k in prizes
Hello everyone! The Nyzo community is organizing a hackathon with a prize money of minimum reward of 3000$ per application (and max 10000$) paid in the Nyzo cryptocurrency + the top 3 implementations get an extra reward on top of that. We're looking to find devs to build cool stuff on top of the Nytro protocol.

Chomsky's Philosophy – YouTube Channel
Well, you already watered it down to be a worthless principle when "AI bad" became "AI sometimes bad". OP said "not use AI". Using AI for example in missiles for defence is an offensive weapon as after the defense by the AI you are stronger than without it and you cannot take out missiles without attacking. The point is to attack the enemy's AI system without using AI. Otherwise it's still the same AI versus AI race that will most likely end bad for humans at some point.

I'm certainly not an expert on unions, so thank you for the detailed reply!

> There are a number of well known counterexamples, sports and acting unions/guilds for example.

I can't imagine how promotions would apply to areas like sports and acting the same as it applies to typical careers that have ladders, so I wouldn't cite it as a well-known counter-example.

> I've yet to see any tech union advocate for this position, and they generally advocate against it. Tech Workers Coalition and the Alphabet Workers Union are the two I know of in this case.

With regards to the Tech Workers Coalition, they want "explicit criteria to achieve (promotions)" [1] which would necessarily involve more red tape and likely a seniority-basis, as not every employee can be promoted.

> Despite that the most sought-after biglaw companies use a mostly-tenure based compensation process.

This is a reason why I elected not to go to law school, and a contributing factor for several people I know who moved from law to tech. The lack of this is what makes tech unique and adopting the homogeny of another un-meritocratic industry should certainly be avoided.

Fully diluted is not the same as future diluted, it just means including all the available options currently allocated but not exercised.
They absolutely can. They're obviously limited by passenger comfort as the other commenter said, but the difference between an Acela and a Northeast Regional in acceleration speed is obvious.
On a budget, I'd favor getting a blazer or three and one or two pairs of good shoes/boots over buying a suit, if a person's really starting from nearly-scratch in the nice clothes department. They're (decent blazers) easier to buy used at a fairly low price, aren't quite as tailoring-required as suits, and can be dressed up or down very easily. They also blend in better at anti-suit tech companies.

> Modern nylon can look and feel GOOD if mixed with viscose. Such suits are ridiculously cheap. I have few of such suits, and to be honest - people(let's say ladies on the street) do not see the difference between those and 90% wool ones. :)

This is true! 1) a lot of people aren't great at telling the difference to begin with, so depending on your "audience", it may not matter much, and 2) if you are good at telling the difference, it is possible to find modern materials that don't scream "this is polyester" the way older synthetic suits do.

Tangentially related, Krispy Kreme offers people a free donut for getting the vaccine, but then they say this in their promo page [0]:

> What if I don’t want to be vaccinated, can I still get this offer?

> We understand that choosing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine is a highly personal decision. We advise all employees and guests to consult with their healthcare provider regarding whether to obtain a COVID-19 vaccination and which vaccine to receive after reviewing the available information. If you have made the personal decision to not receive the COVID vaccine, please visit us on Mondays, 3/29/21 – 5/24/21, to receive a free Original Glazed® doughnut and a medium brewed coffee to get your week off to a good start.

Which seems to make the whole promotion kinda questionable and pointless? Although I guess people without the vaccine can only redeem once a week while people with the vaccine can redeem every single day... Probably not a healthy decision though. In any case, I suppose the campaign is a success since it's getting people to talk about them.

As for the lottery and other incentives mentioned in the article, I have a question: how should people with valid medical exceptions be handled in this kind of situation?

Living in a asteroid belt, makes the poorest person capable of getting a ion-engine on a rock the ruler over all the well-dwellers by default - after all you have the high ground.

Thus speaks the lord thy over-lord:

I. You shall not erect asteroid defences.

II. You shall not send others to space to rule beside me.

III. Once every aeon i shall send a rock to test your faith. You shall fight one another, to proof your worthiness.

IV. Be nice to one another.

V. Game-theory applies, but in a similar way for everyone living in system, to everyone else out-system.
The Windows store version of Python sets up PATH for you.

If you need to have multiple versions installed then presumably you are sophisticated enough to manage the PATHs for those versions/projects.

FWIW, my note taking app is github. Created a private repo, keeping my notes as "issues". I can label, link, search them, insert images, add comments etc. Can someone name a relevant feature that is missing from github?
Corporate data collection doesn’t generally send the police or military to your house when you sufficiently challenge the status quo.

Corporations don’t generally have guns or handcuffs that they can use on arbitrary people. The state does, which is why there’s such a danger associated with them being able to access the data.

Experian doesn’t have a torture chamber. The Chicago PD and the CIA do.
The point is that there is nothing morally positive about forcing other people to pay for your ideas, even if you think that they are morally positive ideas.

The poster was responding to somebody that was being forced to do something that they didn’t want to, and the response was something along the lines of moral obligation. This is obviously not the shared opinion, and has no objective basis to it, so that argument could be, and has been, abused to justify any kind of force.

It would be more honest to just admit that the situation has a lot more to do with power than morals, which I think is what you are getting at: there is no voice, only exit.
Sorry but: fuck this. I also work as a software engineer, and I focus on one thing only: professionalism. Professionalism is about:

1. knowing my stuff. I got my degree, I read, I experiment with new tech and I never stop learning.

2. responsibility. Am I working on Issue 345? You bet I’ll do my best finishing it on time or I’ll inform you if that’s not possible way beforehand.

3. don’t harm others with the excuse of points 1 or 2.

I don’t care about visibility or playing politics. I don’t care about levels. The idea of “performing” at a certain level is ridiculous. I do care about getting compensated for the stuff I do, but based only in points 1 and 2 above. It has worked for me in many cases, although sometimes I’ve had to quit because companies were expecting me to play the game.
I do not have the pen/pin merger (raised in the Seattle area), and I do not pronounce "enter" and "inter" the same, but I do pronounce English as if it were Inglish. I think that word is an exception.
Hm. I suppose you're right, in the large.

In the small, it still mostly feels like you're unfairly changing the rules of the game out from underneath the next person to walk in the store. By analogy, it's not ethical to rig someone else's slot machine to steal people's money and pay it out only to you - even if you think slot machines themselves are unethical. Claiming to be be curing them of their gambling addiction seems... convenient.
Here is an article written on techcrunch years ago. The snakeoil is still alive in many services we all use: facebook, youtube, tiktok, instagram..

It seems quaint to imagine now but the original vision for the web was not an information superhighway. Instead, it was a newspaper that fed us only the news we wanted. This was the central thesis brought forward in the late 1990s and prophesied by thinkers like Bill Gates – who expected a beautiful, customized “road ahead” – and Clifford Stoll who saw only snake oil. At the time, it was the most compelling use of the Internet those thinkers thought possible. This concept – that we were to be coddled by a hive brain designed to show us exactly what we needed to know when we needed to know it – continued apace until it was supplanted by the concept of User Generated Content – UGC – a related movement that tore down gatekeepers and all but destroyed propriety in the online world.

That was the arc of Web 2.0: the move from one-to-one conversations in Usenet or IRC and into the global newspaper. Further, this created a million one-to-many conversations targeted at tailor-made audiences of fans, supporters, and, more often, trolls. This change gave us what we have today: a broken prism that refracts humanity into none of the colors except black or white. UGC, that once-great idea that anyone could be as popular as a rock star, fell away to an unmonetizable free-for-all that forced brands and advertisers to rethink how they reached audiences. After all, on a UGC site it’s not a lot of fun for Procter & Gamble to have Downy Fabric Softener advertised next to someone’s racist rant against Muslims in a Starbucks.

Still the Valley took these concepts and built monetized cesspools of self-expression. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter are the biggest beneficiaries of outrage culture and the eyeballs brought in by its continuous refreshment feed their further growth. These sites are Web 2.0 at its darkest epitome, a quiver of arrows that strikes at our deepest, most cherished institutions and bleeds us of kindness and forethought.
The show known as Air Disasters, Mayday, or Air Crash Investigation is pretty good. The first season especially is fairly devoid of sensationalism, but generally the episodes tell the actual story of the air crash with background provided by investigation experts.
All you're saying presupposes that "privatised capital" is the only possible way to organize an economy. In that sense it's justifying a system by arguing inside the system.
>Totally understand that you want more options for how to host your data. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans on that front at the moment.

This is unfortunate. I tried Notion a few months back, and almost loved it enough to pay for a subscription. Once I saw that, I refunded the subscription and went back to markdown and git. I love your software, but the lock-in is frustrating.
There's never harm in applying. :) Make a case for yourself!
I'm all in favour of signing up as a marrow donor (I'm registered with DKNS myself) but burdening charities with administrative tasks to save yourself money feels a bit... cheap, and you get a lot more for paying for a full genome sequencing or even a 23andme report.
Antitrust suits are slow and hard even when they are legitimate and not publicity stunts or attempts to punish enemies.
fine by me. If there's an EGS on IOS/Android, I can continue to ignore its existence and use the app/play store, while people who opt into that garden do what they need to do.

I don't care about which billionaire benefits the most, I care about options. IOS has zero options (that don't void your phone) if your app isn't approved by Apple.
The use of Tor or a public VPN (i.e. many hundreds of unrelated users sharing a single public IP) is implicit.

> > It is not easy to call C++ code from C.

> Significantly easier than almost any other pair of languages, though.

I wouldn't say so. If you're using the features of C++ then you'd need to manually wrap it all to expose a C API.

Accessing C code from C++, Ada, Rust, Zig, Java, Python, C#, or just about any other language, would be easier than manually wrapping C++ to expose a C API.

(The LLVM compiler, written in C++, does this. It exposes a subset of its API as a C API. I get the impression it's no small task, or they'd expose the full LLVM library that way.)

> Especially if you take a little care on the C++ side (extern "C") or use COM or similar.

Agreed, but going the extern "C" route implies you're using C++ as a better C, rather than making full use of C++. I have to admit I don't know much about working with COM. It's vaguely like GObject, right? I imagine it must take quite a bit of work to expose a C++ API that way.
I received different results in Firefox and Brave. Doesn't seem to be a reliable method for tracking.
As a serial entrePAYneur and the core foundational member of multiple payments companies responsible for all hardware and software architected, assembled and constructed with my very own hands I would sternly disagree with this article. I have done exactly what this article states not to do and have done so multiple times with each better than the last, it only takes an interest and an insatiable desire to learn. The world will come to learn the importance of "owning all the code" and "data control" as the cyber issues continue to cost countless billions and in time more and more bodies. Security will become paramount to everything and outsourcing for "cheap" will have a much greater cost than one realizes in the moment. Those that take greater risks have much greater reward and those risks shape the future for where we are today. My current efforts are the really fun stuff given the world's current temperature on so many fronts.

Always remember that which you read is just someone else's flavor of an experience in which they try to convey their ways on you. I am not bashing what they wrote just recognize how things would be if risks are not taken.

The accuracy can be low because of:

- Custom browser settings or flags - The demo was designed for the default setup, but that doesn’t mean your custom setup is not vulnerable.

- Poorly performant hardware (including virtual machines) - Some timings are just hardcoded and were tested on the MacBook hardware.

- Fullscreen mode - The demo will work faster and more accurate if the browser is not in a fullscreen mode

- Slow internet connection

- Gestures during the process

Also, we haven’t looked into Opera yet, but we may if you ask to do it.

There just isn't that much grip between the rails and the train, and any change to increase the amount of grip would probably sacrifice the efficiency and maximum speed advantages of rail. Remember, we're talking about steel on steel contact, which has incredibly low rolling resistance losses but is not exactly high friction.
I'm fairly certain it was not in violation of "the law", but rather in violation of edicts from unelected officials.
I don't think that's even close to what I'm saying.

If not, I genuinely don't know what you're trying to say here.
Windows 10 does some garbage where it installs handlers for URL schemas that take you to the windows store install page for the app. The vulnerability is only testing if you have an handler installed for skype:// not what application is actually handling it.

The phrase you might be looking for is "credit by examination."

There are CLEP tests for pretty much all the general education you need (ie the two initial years of easy bullshit they make you pay for) and many universities will let CS students test out of the first year or so of programming classes, leaving just the last two years of stuff like algorithms/databases/electives.

So we're nearly there already.
Contact is a movie I loved as a kid, and found even better as an adult. The way it manages to semi-accurately represent politics and ideology across governments and private industries, especially with Alien contact at stake is wonderful. It does this without being boring.

Sometimes a thoughtful critique can be obvious and widely held, as I think it was here. Endeavoring to belabor a simple argument or feign a unique thought process has little intrinsic value. Sometimes a spade is a spade, and that should be OK -- if indeed the goal is to be intellectually honest. But perhaps the goal is to steer the good fortunes of the tech industry and venture capitalists and the investor class, and that certainly would not surprise me greatly on an internet forum run by a venture capital firm.
These aren’t really chemical weapons. They have a non-“chemical” primary use, and also happen to be toxic. Depleted uranium will harm people, but in timescales useless in a war (unless it hits them fast, that is).

Also, surely, none of those are anywhere near as bad as mustard gas. Yes, agent orange gives people cancer, but presumably not everyone (?), and anyway mustard gas immediately burns your lungs. That’s just a different league.
