I think we should move away from passwords entirely, the UX for that is often much better for users (and as a bonus, you don't need to worry about your password being compromised, or password managers).
I guess that they could always have backups.

Then they also don't need to pay the ransoms.
I agree, but I was under the impression that the vaults were encrypted as a whole, but according to the security white paper that changed at some point. So you can decrypt individual passwords. So I’m happy and am in the process of correcting my comments. Sorry.
People are buying it now to run apps making money off of defi. Binance has their own network thats growing similarly. Both do have a huge amount of speculators. There are other up and coming complements to the market aswell including Polkadot.

They just need to be taxed, probably.
I don't expect any driver support for this in the nearest future. The promise of WebGPU on native is not in wgpu library quality, although it's a part of the equation. The promise is in a well-thought specification (of WebGPU API) and the standardized API headers with multiple implementations. This matches best practices from Khronos.
this would have the effect of making everyone's activity private to everyone except for scrapers (the actual bad people nobody wants to see their activity). Not sure how this would increase privacy at all. Activity on reddit outside of private subreddits is known to be public
seems like that's a win for both parties? the transmission line heating is a waste product, which increases resistance, which increases the waste. so if folks are willing to pump the heat out and productively use it, that's great.
The lack of ports is what drove me to buy a Mini.

Not exactly sure if I'll end up buying a MBP later though. I basically only use my Mac for recording audio, and once you get your mic set up , your not too portable anyway
I think it's morally bankrupt because a direct analogy would be that it's not OK to bully someone unless you're strong enough that there won't be any repercussions.
Eventually the human alarm clocks do grow up.

Part of the problem is that children occupy a lot of your time. After you get them in bed, it's tempting to stay up later than one usually would in order to have some personal time. This doesn't change the time that the human alarm clocks go off, though, and it can quickly spiral out of control.

It gets better. When they are older you can include them into your passion projects, or whatever sort of hobbies you have. This part is great because you are both teaching them and having fun at the same time.

I say this all the time because it showcases how little time you have with them, but you only have about 1,000 weekends with them until they are adults. It all happens so fast. I enjoy the time that I spent with them, especially over the last year when we were all together as a family for so many months. I, myself, am nearing the end of those 1,000 weekends with my oldest and I miss some of those human alarm clock days when they were up early and just wanted to play together.
Because the chain of transactions with the most accumulated waste is chosen as the "correct" chain. In order to double-spend, you have to cause a different chain to be the "correct" chain, so you'll have to waste even more energy than has been wasted by everybody else, over whatever span of time you're trying to roll back. Thus the more waste, the more secure the chain.

Proof of stake is a newer way of coming to consensus on one correct chain. It took people a while to figure out how to do it securely and efficiently.
Yeah, I was expecting to be able to maybe play with it or at least see some real details. Not much here at the moment.

Or perhaps the person "burning the midnight oil" will come up with an innovation that will save even more lives, and which is only possible by a single person putting in the mental effort.

I don't have a strong opinion on this issue, IMO it's too complicated and subjective to feel confident in any particular stance. There's no question in my mind that entrepreneurs taking larger personal risks are more motivated to make things work, but whether that translates to a net positive or not? Who knows?
History of Alcohol and Marijuana Policy
YMMV as they say. My work laptop has pretty bad background noise on the headphone out, audible even with a cheap audio-conferencing setup while doing nothing. If I plug in an external display and start giving the CPU a workout, it becomes torture.

Bluetooth on the same computer is silent, and the ausio quality seems limited by the headphones (Sony WH-1000 with LDAC). I know some computers and phones have good analog audio quality, but the point is it's not universal, especially when using an "enterprise" computer which you can't choose.
of course you are.. but when you're not, the value of using the alternative site out weights having to go through the checkout process again or a 4 second page load as someone else suggested is a deal breaker.

I've heard this as well. I think it can be done, but it's probably not an easy effort and it doesn't seem to lend itself to teams of volunteers.
Yeah, now that you mention it, yeah. Elm is the natural progression down the functional programming rabbit hole for the frontend. Either that, or ReasonML, which I haven't seen much news for recently.

What's suspicious about it? Do you take this to mean something other than lossless compression/encoding?
Yes, that's the problem with validation through concensus which is universal in currency. With enough power (nodes) you can delegitimize other stake holders.
I think the key point is that the only way to do this right is to have a quirks list and both implementations, and pick the implementation based on that list.
They're selling the same two size laptops, just with larger screens due to smaller bezels.

Right now I'm looking at a 2019 16" and 2018 15" models, they're pretty much the same size, the 16" model is just a couple mm wider. Probably the same applies for 13"->14".

The current ASAT weapons can only hit targets in low earth orbit, and the GPS sats are way above that. Anything that high up that is military run also likely has capability to maneuver to avoid something shot from the surface (which will take a lot of time to get up that high even if it has enough energy).
I went from waking up at 6AM every day for 6 years (US mil) to not setting an alarm in the last 6 (remote employee). The main thing I notice in the rare event where I have to set an alarm these days is this 15-30 minutes of heavy brain fog after waking up. In my experience it feels very similar to the sensation in your head shortly after you've taken a dose of melatonin, which I guess makes sense. It's hard to put into words but obviously we've all experienced it. I don't ever experience this sensation waking up naturally.

The end result is early morning grumpiness, in my case. I'm just in a foul mood for the first hour or two after being ripped from sleep via an alarm. I otherwise don't feel more productive or healthy.

I'm curious why this is; I assume it has to do with the natural sleep cycle. Do those chemicals metabolize in some way shortly before you wake up naturally vs waking up by an alarm where they're still present?
PG is not particularly "fierce" in the way he's describing. He's talking about what he's observed in other people more than in himself. He's more laid-back and encouraging and positive than aggressive and competitive.

There's pretty much no way to know if a bitcoin address belongs to someone from a sanctioned country or otherwise sanctioned, right?

So this effectively makes paying ransomware an activity with very high legal risk.

It will be interesting to see how that all plays out. It's hard to imagine the regulators didn't think of this... I wonder what they are thinking exactly.
I don't think you's want to use WebGL2 as an analogue here. Radically different depth and breadth of buy-in across the browser ecosystem. I'm no expert, but I'm genuinely curious where you got the 10+ year figure from (is there an up-to-date estimate/roadmap from any of the people working on this?). I was under the impression that we'd see an MVP stabilise relatively soon (i.e. within a couple of years at most). Of course, there will still be features being added in 10 years time, since graphics APIs and GPUs are always evolving.
Ah okay, so basically you're saying that the mortality vs > 7 hour sleep time correlation claim hasn't normalized / accounted for other parent causes (e.g. chronic illness and other things affecting / disturbing sleep quality)? I'm a noob here, but if that is the case, that is very unfortunate and frustrating.
They actually are. Most new projects have chosen PoS for sybil resistance, and once Ethereum switches as well, we should have a large enough honey pot in order to gain confidence regarding its security.

It's very interesting. Do you have a link about this?

Anyway, this is very different.

In an electric wire part of the energy is always transformed into heat and wasted, so it's nice is someone can use it.

In this device, they add something to absorb part of the energy that otherwise would have traveled to your neighbor, so the transition tower must increase (slightly) the energy used.

It's like digging a hole and replacing a part of the high voltage cable with a device that makes more heat on purpose to heat your home.
It's true both are valid, but I think you miss that the domain of software design and technical operations is a) secondary to and dependent on the actual business, and b) far less stable than the domain. As somebody who has written software and done ops for decades, I certainly value it. But I think it's a mistake to put it on an equal footing with the actual purpose of the enterprise.

You repeat yourself. ;) There are certainly risks - 51% attacks, etc. I don't know if crypto is the whole answer or maybe part of it, but when you consider how much the current financial systems are controlled and rigged, it's hard for me to see crypto as not an improvement for the common people.
Question: is it possible that the universe is geared for DNA based life to emerge through abiogenesis? Just as the same crystals form under the same circumstances no matter where you are, perhaps DNA based life is the same, just a fundamental standard pattern you can find through abiogenesis at multiple points in time and location. Why do we presume that our form of life is so special?

Though KAL007 deviated from course not because of some INS fault but just because autopilot didn't switch into INS following mode at all. Most likely crew just forgot to flip the switch, so GPS availability wouldn't have helped anyway.
It's both.

as mention other places though, missing window.ga at all on other sites can cause worse problems. I'm not sure mimicing the whole api is useful, but maybe not adding the stub on teespring will be.

On teesprings side, it's not their fault, but adding '&& window.ga.getAll' will fix the issue
This boils down to the original confusion around hooks. Putting a sequence of useData / useState hooks inside a View component is just as "data-first" as wrapping a View component in HOCs for the api and app state.

Ultimately it comes down to how you structure your components.
Yeah I think this is the way it should be interpreted. If you get yourself in the position where you need to pay the ransom, your security practices have failed. This makes that possibility more expensive. This is not a ridiculous idea.

This statement by me was incorrect and based on the belief that they still encrypted vaults as a whole, but they’ve moved on to encrypting individual passwords so they can be decrypted individually and my whole concern was unfounded. I can’t edit that comment anymore, probably took too long. But it is wrong.
Smart people. I agree with them.
You can’t really get any precision out of it but I think the size of the error bars is interesting, where recent estimates come out somewhere between 10^-13 and 10^8. That makes it a bit more likely that we’re alone than not.

You've hit tier 1 tech support, that's likely their first answer to EVERY issue
Exactly, the devil is in the details, just like how all current "scalable" blockchains are only able to do so because they sacrificed decentralization. Ethereum is dealing with growing pains right now because it's solving scalability with an approach that doesn't sacrifice decentralization or security.

MAME is an extremely long-running project to accurately document and emulate virtually every computer or gaming platform known to man (well, MAME was originally just for arcade machines and MESS was for everything else, but they've since merged).

Mac emulation in MESS/MAME has a very long history, totally independent AFAIK from any other emulators. It's also very different from most other Mac emulators, which tend towards using various hacks and high-level emulation techniques - MAME aims to be very low-level and accurate. This has perks - theoretically higher compatibility, most importantly - but also downsides that make it possibly not the best choice at the moment: worse performance, lower compatibility while the devs figure out the right way to do things, and fewer "modernizing" features that can be hacked in: instead of emulating hardware, Basilisk injects new drivers into the OS so that it can do things like give your classic Mac absurdly high resolutions or mount local directories from the host PC. MAME's flexibility - it emulates everything - also makes it notoriously difficult to configure.
Sounds very promising! It's super annoying how they keep duplicating paragraphs of text tho. I don't like reading the exact same text twice and not realizing it until halfway through.
> So the sample size isn't 1 and there are known ways to detect all but 2 or 3 parameters of the drake equation.

Actually, only 2 or 3 parameters of the Drake equation are estimable. (It depends on how you want to define "planets that can potentially support life"--you can argue that the answer is anywhere between 1 and 5 in our own solar system). Everything that talks about the possibility of life evolving, let alone speculating about how it will evolve or the xenosociology of what that life will try to do, is pure conjecture: that's the last 4 values of the equation, more than half of it.

The paper lists all of those things. Confidence intervals, what the groups are, the baseline. In this case, the baseline are people with no sleep disorders. The whole purpose of this study was to elucidate that this is a serious problem for people with sleep disorders. In particular, people with Shift Work Sleep Disorder. This is a press release from a university with a link to the paper so you can discern this stuff yourself. What more transparency do you expect from them?

In the internet, the more websites and APIs exist, the greater the utility of the internet as a whole - the sum of its parts is worth more than each individually.

With Ethereum, every time a new smart contract is added to Ethereum, the whole network becomes more useful, as each contract can communicate with each other. You can assemble new applications based on the building blocks of existing contracts.
Proof of Stake is already how our current financial system works. The people with the most money make the decisions. Proof-of-Work is provably resistant to this, as evidenced by the 2017 blocksize debate where almost every large miner and bitcoin company wanted to change the protocol and it was fought off through grassroots efforts. A PoS currency will be controlled by a cabal of US financial institutions, and indirectly by the US regulatory system. Be careful what you wish for.

It's times like this I ask myself whether I'm slow, or whether the text in question is needlessly complex.

My pessimistic side suggests this could be purposeful obfuscation of implementation by using complex language. No one will question their solution if no one can understand it.

> I've been for a long time waiting for that crisis to pop up and I go back to my community to try something new, not as an employee but as an employer.

If anything, the current environment makes it more attractive to start a company, not less. Investment money is cheap and plentiful. Businesses and customers have plenty of money to spend on your products. Risk tolerance is high, so customers are less afraid to take a chance on your unproven business.

And if all else fails, you can walk right back into a hot job market and pick up where you left off.

All of those traits are reversed in an economic crisis. The idea that a crisis spurs people to take entrepreneurial risk or fosters entrepreneurial success is backwards. Now is just about the optimal time to start a software business, if there ever was one.
