This can be tricky because journald compression, but is this really that much different than a corrupted compressed log file, like that which logrotate produces, in /var/log?

If that is your concern, you can disable compression in the journald configuration so that the contents can be read with "strings" or similar tools.
The Gang "Solves" the Gas Crisis (2021)
As far as known darknet markets go they've all switched from Bitcoin to Monero.

If we're talking bigger fish it's speculation that they prefer cryptocurrency over traditional assets or cash in the first place. Follow the money and it often leads you to illegal activity. Banks like HSBC know all about laundering drug money and enabling scams.

I think they literally mean "technically need". This is objectively deductible.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but I've watched several tutorials... The workflow seems to be: Every time you get paid, you go in and assign your money to your budget. This is the "make every dollar work for you" part. But that involves going to each non-green line item and adding some amount of your remaining money to that item.

It doesn't really have an idea of when expenses are due (though you can set up dates on goals, but multiple tutorials I watched recommended putting the due date in the name, so you can manually sort the items. It also doesn't have an idea of when you get paid. So it can't do things like: "You're going to need to pay your mortgage of $X in 2 pay periods, so let's allocate $X/2 of this paycheck to the mortgage expense.

In fact, it doesn't support even "add the remaining amount for this expense", so you're going around typing the dollar values of different expenses.

I understand that this is part of their design to get people more familiar with their money and where it's going. Maybe if I was waaaay off track, and really pressed for money, that would be valuable. But I'm 90% on track, my worries are kind of higher level.

Again, maybe I'm misunderstanding something. But I've watched hours worth of tutorials, by YNAB and others, so I've at least done some level of research. :-)
It means there has to be so many other undiscovered use of things that only the old and experienced know about.

It does work "at scale" but you need to launch, fail, and iterate just like any product.

Georgia State University is a great example of successfully implementing the goal of "college success" and continuing to innovate. They started by solving the problem of students accepting their offer letter, but never choosing classes during that crucial first summer.

First tool they built used a combination of AI chat box and counsellors to answer common questions, help students fill out forms, and/or get financial aid. At each step of product development they asked "what's next?". For example choosing a degree is "hard" for first generation college students. So they built salary, and career earnings during the UX where you pick your courses.

Another non-SMS solution they provide is automatically depositing money into student's accounts who are low and struggling. This especially helps 4th year students who may have burnt through their financial aid.

The title seems like it’s intentional clickbait, making it seem like the mask mandates will return seasonally.

The actual quote is as follows:

“So it is conceivable that as we go on, a year or two or more from now, that during certain seasonal periods when you have respiratory-borne viruses like the flu, people might actually elect to wear masks to diminish the likelihood that you’ll spread these respiratory-borne diseases.”
You're imagining that every company is going to transition some kind of nefarious mob-style wink-wink, nudge-nudge, no-written records speakeasy, or what? That's really taking things far.

This whole line of reasoning is specious, anyway. It's based on a fallacy that enforcing penalties is just going to make everyone lie their asses off to get out scott free. Is society so broken that they can get away with this? Come on.

I'm a 4K HDR fanboy, but IMO most movies shot in 35mm film should remain in 1080p. 70mm film looks great in 4K though (2001, Nolan movies, etc).

It's a shame there is no 1080p HDR content. 35mm movies would benefit a lot more of higher color bit depth that higher resolution. Anyone knows if this is a codec limitation?

I had that too, but about twice as long. After talking with my doctor and getting chest x-rays (and not seeing anything), he recommended taking a strong dose of Aleve eveyday until it went away. I took generic naproxen sodium, and it took me about two weeks for it to go away. Now after a couple weeks of stopping, it only hurts a litte if I twist my torso a certain way. Your mileage may vary.

Again, you can have rational reasons for not trusting tether - and I don't necessarily disagree - but the fact is that people have been trying to "expose" it for years with no success.

The NYAG didn't find anything substantive, and neither has anyone before them. In the crypto sphere that builds trust and proves resiliency. With every piece of FUD about tether that comes and goes, the chance of it all coming crashing down gets smaller and smaller.

Nothing you have stated is a new accusation. They have been around as long as tether and the entire ecosystem has only gained more and more legitimacy.

Arbitrary computation is just a subset of arbitrary code execution and one that is much less harmful.

Arbitrary computation means that you can let the computer do any pure calculation you want it to. The worst you can do is to put it in an endless loop. Which you can break with timeouts.

As Turing machines are idealized machines that only do computation, that’s all that can happen to them and why they are completely useless models for security.

Real machines, processes interact with the outside world. Arbitrary code execution is dangerous exactly because it can access those interaction possibilities.
It doesn’t matter that the injected code could calculate PI to trillions of digits, but
it matters that it could do anything the process could do, namely manipulating files and accessing the network.
I'll keep it in mind the next time a horse bolts from a barn in some foreign country - 'Clearly, this was the CIA's doing.

A lot of that has to do with coatings modern lenses use to correct for chromatic aberration, but also how they minimize loss of contrast from light bouncing around inside the lens.

This so much. People either don't use it and then its unwatchable with it (my case), or get used to it since its default setting on TV and +-don't notice it after some time.

My Nikkor 50mm 1.8G is one of my favorite lenses. When I had a cropped sensor DSLR I used it as my portrait lens, and when I upgraded to a full frame I started using it as a general purpose lens. It creates beautiful images. I've always been curious about the versions with a lower f-stop, but the price always makes me think twice.

A Somewhat Comprehensive History of U.S. Senators Who Have Died in Duels
On Android (which I think you must be since you mention backup to Google Drive?) the otherwise encrypted database is an unlocked sqlite db while the app is running.

Spent way too long diving into that rabbit hole one time when I switched phones, activated WhatsApp without thinking about it on the new phone (and didn't restore, or switched back and forth, or something) and refused to go on with a history split between two devices. Eventually managed to merge the databases, put it on the new phone, and reinstall (since you can only restore during first-time startup...). Absolutely not worth the time it took, but I was stubborn.

I'm not saying that isn't shit, or that WA expects you to do that, just that if you want to, it can be done.
That's been debunked in the past few decades. Originally this idea came from very limited data on heart disease. Now the picture is almost the opposite. It's not a "fad".

Insulin resistance is a very basic physiological mechanism at the root of both obesity and various illnesses. There are scientifically proven ways to reduce that insulin resistance. And low-carb diets have been very successful in comparison studies...
I'm betting that finally there is an asset that works as store of value that doesn't deflate and which is easy to use. Let's be honest, BTC could be the best one. Owning gold (or other rare metal) is an assle. Need a safe place to store it and transport it is so risky. Or I need to trust someone else or an institution to hold it if I don't want to hold it myself.

Real estate takes a lot of time and research to chose a proper investment. Besides, what I want to store 100 dollars only? Or 10000? not enough for that. And REITs again require a lot of research and are not risk-free. Then you have other assets like art and so on, but again, needs research, and what are the likelyhood of findind something exactly at my price range? Besides they can be destroyed in fire or something else.

Also not stocks sorry. I don't want to risk my hard earned money. Maybe part of it, i can, and I nicely get some positive return. But not all. Also not bonds or bank interest. I don't want to have my money stuck for years. I want something where I can easily set and forget, liquid, immaterial, which is safe, and where I don't need to trust anybody but myself. It doesn't even need to appreciate, just hold its value. What do you propose besides BTC?

I don't see anything that can be potentially better.

In a soon-to-be published online feature store benchmark with batched read/writes, NDB (RonDB) had 40% higher throughput and 40% lower latency than Aerospike.
Then, RonDB offers a SQL API - you can scale partition-pruned index scans linearly (they localize to a single shard). Obviously, index scans across the whole cluster don't scale so well, neither do full-table scans, but there are tricks to use them and make them scale for not-so-big-data (such as fully-replicated tables - replicated at all nodes in the cluster).
> Anyway you can make these kinds of businesses work but it’s a grind, not a free lunch. You’re better off with ETFs or a good dividend stock.

Not to say I disagree, but one wonders if there's broader macroeconomic implications when it's widely accepted that the best use of capital is to buy ETFs and stocks, or maybe real estate.

I say widely accepted because, as an upper middle class professional, it seems to be common sense retirement planning revolves around dumping a large amount of money into the S&P500, maybe with a side of small-time rental management.
> legitimate interest of the employer

I would claim this paragraph will side with the employee in dubious cases (see the article): "To use the legitimate interest allowance, employers must perform a privacy impact assessment balancing their legitimate interest against the employees’ privacy interests. The hard part, this must be documented to demonstrate that the employer’s legitimate interest does outweigh the employees’ rights. The next step that employers cannot overlook is that, even if the employer has a basis to process employee data, the employer must then provide notice to the employee that spells out exactly what data the employer is going to collect and what the employer is going to do with it."
> it would be foolish to assume there is any connection.

Given the history of human ideas, it would be equally foolish to assume there was not.

> Maybe I'm missing a big obvious one, but there's something about programmable systems that they are necessarily unable to infer or deduce the output of a program beyond a certain complexity without first running it.

Yep, this is Rice's Theorem. If we have a particular program P which outputs a certain value, there is an infinite set of programs of the form 'C; P;' which first run some arbitrary code 'C' and then run P. The Halting Problem is undecidable, so we can't always tell whether code 'C' will halt or not; and hence whether we'll move on to executing P or not.

More generally, Rice's Theorem applies to any non-trivial property of the input/output function implemented by a program. A non-trivial property means that at least one program has that property and at least one program doesn't. Being a property of the 'input/output function implemented by a program' avoids implementation details like 'runs for at least 10 steps'.

The Halting Problem is semi-decidable: if we just run the given program until it halts then return 'HALTS', we will always return the correct answer when given a program which halts. This doesn't completely solve the Halting Problem, since we will not return 'NON-HALTING' when given a non-halting program (we will just run forever).

Wolfram calls this "computational irreducibility": that the only way to predict the behaviour of a Turing-complete system is to simulate it; or, equivalently, any formula that tells us what will happen on the Nth step will, necessarily, involve calculating what happens on the (N-1)th step, the (N-2)th step, and so on back to the first step.

Here are the raw electricity production figures for the timeframe considered in the study:

https://energy-charts.info/charts/energy/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE...

When comparing the year-by-year differences, a few interesting things turn up. For the sake of simplicity, I've only counted wind and solar as renewables and natural gas + black coal + lignite as fossil fuels.

- There have only been two years where a reduction in nuclear was not (over-)compensated by an increase in renewables: 2010/2011 (nuclear -30,8 TWh, renewables +19,3 TWh) and 2015/2016 (nuclear -6,8 TWh, renewables -1,3 TWh).

- Even in 2010/2011, the increase in renewables overcompensated the reduction in fossil fuels (-2,8 TWh)

- There have only been two years which actually saw an increase in fossil-fuelled electricity production: 2011/2012 (+7,2 TWh, still fully compensated by renewables) and 2015/2016 (+5,5 TWh).

- In the entire timeframe (EoY 2010 to EoY 2017), renewable production increased by +94,9 TWh, which is more than the reduction in nuclear (-60,8 TWh) and fossil fuels (-28,5 TWh) combined.

- There've been some internal shifts happening within the fossil cluster. In the first couple of years, natural gas consumption was dialled back in favour of solid fuels, which was then slightly reverted in the later years. This is also the reason why 2015/2016 did not see a catastrophic increase in CO2 emissions - parts of the worst offenders have just been replaced by natural gas.

I'm still not sure how the study reached a conclusion that is kind of contradicting real-world data.

Are you assuming FTL travel?

If a civilization doesn't have FTL then expansion beyond their solar system seems unlikely. Yes, it is still possible with sub-light travel, but then you run into the problem of motivation.

When limited to sub-light speed trade between colonies and the home system is so slow that you probably can't usefully import resources from the colony systems.

When you are stuck with sub-light, colonizing another system (unless perhaps you are in a place with a lot of stars close together) is more accurately described as spending a whole lot of effort to establish another system that then won't really have much interaction with or effect on your system.

Even the old classic of kicking out your undesirables who then go on to start a new civilization doesn't really work, because it is so expensive. If you dislike them so much that exile is the only answer and you don't have someplace in your system to exile them to you are far more likely to just kill them.
