I think in American Psycho Bateman and his friends are already super rich before even going into work, having been born into wealth as "trust fund kids". I am pretty sure, unless I remember incorrectly, that Pearce & Pearce, the firm they all work for, is part-owned by Bateman's father, or he at least had the connections to get him the job there? They all have a Vice President title too, so it seems like in that instance they are all just given cushy jobs with nepotism.
Okay, first of all, we have no reason to remotely assume those executed were CIA agents; it’s far(far) more likely they were CIA assets, local people recruited by agents to sell secrets. Assets are captured regularly.

Even still, do you expect any intelligence agency to be perfect? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to prove here.
* There exists a decryption tool for DarkSide

* Critical infrastructure should not be allowed to run on Microsoft Windows

* The remote workers, through which the attack was performed, didn't even use a VPN, just TeamViewer and MS Remote Desktop.
There is still something to be said of the cost of basics has increased by an order of magnitude. I would argue that today's 30 year olds certainly have access to more options that simply didn't exist in the 50s or at least weren't commonplace, hence more things to spend one's pay on, but it would be near impossible to raise a family of four modestly on a middle class wage in most American cities/suburbs.
There is already a law. It's called misprison of felony.
I don't get how Account B gets to the point of extracting value from the illiquid asset after purchasing?

Seems like they either, 1) sell periodically or as the assets value appreciates, but this is generally unreliable and tough or 2) create a liquidity pool or yield farming opportunities

For 1, this isn't necessarily reliable but it seems like the most plausible popular case. For 2, given the previously mentioned challenge of the illiquid asset, how does it work to provide incentive in liquidity pooling and yield farming?

Note, that I'm less well aware of the mechanics of 2 so perhaps its also a fundamental ignorance issue.
I note that all your statistics are based on figures that only involve the number of people that successfully obtained healthcare which seems like it's ignoring the possibility that a significant percentage don't have access to those wait lists at all.

If you only let half of your population on the list in the first place, I don't think it's overly shocking that metrics across the board would appear better.

I'd be interested to know the percentage of people in each country that require hip replacements, MIR's or Heart Stents but have no effective chance at even seeking out the preliminary care that would lead to them.
I’m not convinced anyone has ever read of of the Malazan series. Sure, it’s theoretically possible, but has anyone really read /every/ word? Jokes aside, I love epic fantasy, but that series was just a little too epic for me. Wheel of Time has a nice balance, you really get to meet the main characters, it just takes a while.
Any chance this acts as a catalyst to face the ransomware problem head-on? Someone in a position of power in US intelligence agencies has to know this won't be the last time that a massive piece of infrastructure is taken down.
It has helped me in the past, particularly with focus.

Of all that I said, being present, as in seriously lucid, is the biggest bang for the buck in all this work as you transition through age. Lucidity is much duller, not as potent of a state when one has a noisy mind.

It can bring you those young eyes and help you internalize wisdom.

Those fast, smart people will see that and value it. Hell, I did and have had wise mentors over the years too.

I cannot overstate the value in all of that. Nailing hard tasks beats quick convo over coffee almost everytime.

There is a big difference between being able to trade in smart things and wise people who can focus well and drill down to vital insights, and or see the golden ones amidst a pile of brassy, attractive things.

That's all I got really. Good luck!

Blockchain has many uses, including as a record of transaction. Crypto currencies are merely a subset of what might be available using blockchain. Legislation can certainly target that subset.
The 1950s were a unique time in the American economy. The rest of the developed world had just come out of WW2 with large portions of its cities, industrial production, and overall economies severely disrupted or outright destroyed. Meanwhile, the US was unscathed and had spent the war further building up its industrial capacity.

It was never sustainable, only something possible for a point in time.
I spend fifty times more on real goods each month than digital goods. So while it's fascinating to think about, and it makes quite a lot of sense, it's a rounding error still.
If you're going to say that there is no "decent way to develop desktop applications for Linux", I'd at least expect a discussion about why you don't think Qt is such a way. My experience with it is that its an excellent cross-platform toolkit, has libraries already installed on many/most Linux desktops, and can run on Windows / Mac to boot. Qt is also not "a pile of shoehorned libs with an HTML engine".

Additionally, Qt has bindings most major languages. I have found the Python bindings (PyQt) to be quite good.

Patently false statement. The us has had decadal deflationary periods of its history during which it made great technological strides
Not to mention that a full sized F150 is less than an inch wider than one from 25 years ago. What people see when they see truck size is vertical size and hood lines which is what has changed the most. Trucks look much bigger now, which is partly aesthetics and partly for safety, but I think people have internalized a belief that they have grown outward too, which is not the case.
Hey you missed out on some STD risk too.
Previous poster isn't wrong that the Russian government turns a blind eye to these kind of things as long as it doesn't target Russian citizens; same with China etc. This isn't especially controversial, and anyone involved with these kind of things will tell you this.

Calling this an "act of war" is of course hysterical.
I guess the “hackable” part is more or less according to my self imposed constraints along with the unbreakable bureaucracy of the admissions/aid process. Note many of these would not be an issue if I were interested in completing an undergrad degree in decade or so, but I would like to

Most of my initial research was into online programs. I was very surprised by the limited number of good programs offered by “legitimate” schools. These often charged prices that were simply too much even if I continued working full time. Part of this was many still charged out of state tuition rates for online programs (note I cannot even get in state tuition in my state of legal residence right now). Any sort of decent aid was out of the question for reasons that could their own thread. complete undergrad while I’m still in my 20s at least.

However I found a few programs that seemed to have a good quality and were affordable. The problem of course, could I be admitted. As someone who was not school minded when they were younger, I’m definitely not the type of material colleges would usually be interested in admitting. 2 year transfer programs are normally the answer for people like me, but at the time I was not aware of any online AA programs, and while community colleges do offer some evening courses, it could have easily increased the time-cost significantly as I can obviously only take one or two of those a semester and not all classes are offering in that time slot either. Instead, I gambled to see if I could “hack” undergrad admissions by utilizing my time in the industry as replacements for some other criteria. This did not pan out. In fact, of the programs I applied for, only one asked for a copy of my resume, while every one of them was extremely interested in my high school disciplinary record.

Most recently, I did some research and it seemed like I found some AA programs that are fully online in my state. They would guarantee me admission into a 4 year university, which I decided I would be ok to quit working to finish. Then a few days ago I got the acceptance into one of those AA programs only to get suspicious when I looked for certain courses which were certainly not online. As it comes, it seems a number of schools are very vague in whether the AA can be complete “fully online” some including hybrid courses in that definition. I’m not defeated yet as there are other schools which may offer truly online, asynchronous programs. This is important as I cannot get the loans at the moment to quit working and go back full time (in a few years that will likely change, which is why I was fine dropping work to finish the last two years)

TLDR: I’ve been hunting for ways to complete the degree I’m interested in non traditionally (a hack), but every time I’ve found one, it turns out to be too good to be true.

Right, it would make more sense for the US Federal Government to just create or buy a separate bank for this purpose.

The British government owns two notable banks, the Bank of England of course (but for less than a century) and the National Savings & Investment Bank ("NS&I").

The Bank of England doesn't have retail services, once upon a time it offered some products like mortgages to permanent staff but this ceased because it is in a real sense self-dealing, and it's hard to explain to a foreign central bank why their $100M unsecured loan to the bank's Chief Executive, who is coincidentally also brother of the leader of their country is a scandal when the Bank of England is loaning the price of a mid-size home counties house to some mid-ranking employee. I mean, these are different things, but they aren't different enough to make the point, so that programme ended.

NS&I however offers numerous popular retail services for ordinary savers in the UK. It has some conventional savings accounts (obviously paying rather little interest these days), term bonds, some specialist UK products like ISAs, but it also has the "premium bond" which is effectively a not very good savings bond except instead of interest you win "prizes" from the pool of money that would have accrued as interest to all savers. The idea being this is exciting like gambling, but you can't lose (except in the sense that on average you'd make more money with a conventional bond of course).

These are very different activities, they possibly reward different management styles, certainly they would share few resources if they were a single entity.

The idea of using the US Post Office instead is good, because the Post Office already has actual branches all over the country, but it would need to staff up considerably to do this work, so having a separate government entity responsible for the actual bank, with the Post Office handling the front-end experience seems like a sound idea.
Mucormycosis: The 'black fungus' maiming Covid patients in India
If you don't want to see the same story twice, you need to implement your own filter. If it is titles only, keep index of last 1000 titles posted and apply something like tf-idf to it in order to find the most similar. You can peek in the articles bodies, but it requires proper scraping which is one more level of difficulty. So, if you find that two titles are quite similar (tune the value), just drop the one with less upvotes/comments.

Additional things to look up are stop words and embeddings.

Hope that helps

> Was there a flight simulator game for Unix with wireframe/vector graphics which perhaps dates from 70s/80s?

There are few actually active projects probably from mid 90s:

ACM 6.0[0] (fully open-source) — an extended fork of ACM 5.0[1] (MSFS 2.0-like).[2]

YSFlight[3] (freeware & partially open-source) — fully polygonal multipurpose 3D flight simulator. As a side project its developer also created Polygon Crest[4] app — open-source 3D polygonal editor on the same toolkit for creating addons for YSFlight.[5]

I’ve been complaining about this for a few months now. It’s horrible. Used to be easy to get a ride. Or UberEATS. Now eats is unavailable basically every time I load the app and drivers are nowhere to be found for riding. Someone across the country anecdotally said it’s the same for them too. What is odd is Uber just had a record quarter and claimed more rides than ever.

Lyft has been better but it’s been downhill lately too.
The other end of the argument is also interesting. It is possible that this has already happened before the age of Homo Sapiens, and we lack the one crucial thing that makes fusion power possible, say, deuterium oxide (heavy water) in sufficient quantities. It’s a ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’ situation — we could be living on a stellar neighbourhood that is already tapped out of that crucial resource, forever doomed to travel the slow way, never able to go more than knee deep into the vast ocean beside us.

I'm always skeptical of coworkers who say they get in early. Some really do and are ultraproductive while others would say that but whenever I came in early they weren't there until much later. No surprise though: the former people were clearly productive and the latter ones were not. The hours aren't what really mattered.

Adam Smith argued that free workers are superior to slaves because they have greater incentive to want to better themselves for their own benefit and to innovate their processes to show they are worth more wages. Slaves, by contrast, he argues will perform the bare minimum work to avoid repercussions. They are also far from free, they cost money to purchase and there is a cost to providing them with necessities of life as they don't have the means of providing for themselves.
The bigger myth unstated here, is the peculiarly british one: "britain won the war" -with a strongly implied ... "alone"

firstly, it didn't. secondly, it was never "alone" because most of the commonwealth had legal rights not to join in, but did.

thirdly, it survived on the smell of an oily rag until its finances held as gold in the usa ran down, and then had to sell off most of its carribean bases to the US on long lease but did get US aide to survive until pearl harbour made things moot.

"enigma won the war" is a modern myth. It probably shortened it. A lot.
I forgot to specify that the 100 million is entirely printed money.

Whatever the way you see it, that 100 million of buying power should not exist and eventually ends up lifting the prices of normal goods just with the economic activity it generates.
Krugman's blindness to the patently obvious solution to babysitting coop scrip story is astounding. If anything it belies the Marxist philosophy that an hour of work is an hour of work. It's completely ridiculous that any arbitrary pair of hours should be equivalent to each other. They should not have pegged the currency, and that is the problem. When you think inflation is a hammer and all planned economies are nails, people are gonna get hurt.
It's very subjective but personally, I enjoy going shopping for clothes. Unless I can't find the item in my city.

It depends on a few things. With the "fusion" style, the basic widgets look good, but they look kind of off—definitely not native. Some widgets seem to have received little attention, like the calendar widget. The classic "rectangle with a dark to light gray gradient" button is a good giveaway. Dropdowns where the text doesn't get centered. Steppers next to text inputs that are the wrong size. Focus rings that are in the wrong place (compared to native counterparts).

Electron, at the very least, has Chromium inputs by default, which are arguably about as close to the native equivalents that you can get. Developers almost always restyle them, but you can't fault Electron for that.

You can do it all synchronously in node if you wish. The async gives another dimension to work with.
The digital version of goods indirectly does cause inflation.

When you have a surge of users and you got more servers in aws, EC2 prices increase for the on-demand instances , aws buys more servers , the more customers it gets , which means more metal excavation , more semiconductors , more minerals , more trucks to move these things , more fuel to move the trucks , it goes on and on.

Also money gets turned into profit , which is then paid to employees , executives , founders.

Who then go on to pay into other items that are non digital (houses , cars , premium cereals lol), which then do cause inflation.

Until all goods are digital , every digital product still indirectly causes inflation using its non digital items , because all of em are transactions between humans.

And all goods can never be digital , because you still need non digital items to run the digital goods on.

So inflation continues.
Is that really the best bet? A simple googling of the title will get most of these books immediately.

Generally, what I have seen, people report greater overall satisfaction with their lives if they have kids. Cant be bothered to dig up the data, but I have read about it a number of times over the years. However, deep in your 20s and 30s is when careers are taking off, kids are at their most demanding ages, etc. it’s rare to be fully established in your career when your kids are young. That means lower earnings. So, yeah, it’s stressful. It’s also rewarding.
My kids are older now. They bring my joy and all that. My mid 20s were also really hard when my kids were born. I think its all pretty obvious. Kids are like type 2 fun more than type 1 for most people. I appreciate them and watching them develop was quite an amazing process, and it brought me a lot of satisfaction, but it was also hard. I think a lot of parents take umbrage at saying their kids made them worse off, it really depends on what criteria you are using? Financial? Life satisfaction? Other? Most parents probably don’t /feel/ worse off in a general way.
> Dont get me wrong but usability/readability of linux way apps dont come anywhere near other OSs because they're primarily designed by developers not design teams.

I think this claim harms your overall point (which I agree with). I can't think of any Linux programs (other than Calibre) which I have serious problems using. Furthermore, they tend to be extremely fast because they're very lightweight. The entire VLC package from my distribution is only 13 MB, and VLC is a rather large program by Linux desktop standards. Even Gimp is extremely simple and intuitive to use (to anyone who isn't a complete noob with graphics concepts), it's just extremely lacking in features and polish compared to Photoshop.

If you stick with the point that AAA games and Adobe are still a "no", you have a fine point. I've found that 99% of the games I want to play are actually available for Linux, these days, but that probably speaks more to my tastes than anything else.
Lelush: How a sulky Russian model became China’s slacker icon
This notion is absurd on its face. When I was a young man, I helped my grandfather build a house one summer. We worked from sunup to sundown, with breaks for meals, and Sunday off, which comes out to much longer than 55 hours in a week.

After the 55th hour, there was certainly productive work being accomplished. Less productive than the 1st hour I am sure, but the amount of valuable work being done was more than zero. It was observably evident.
