Evolution is an algorithm that carries on traits that happened to be carried along when someone successfully mated. It speaks nothing of ‘fitness’ in any useful sense beyond ‘was successful at mating’.

It _tends_ to yield things that correlate well with survivability to time of mating; but to imply anything of intent to it is inaccurate and ascribing purpose where there is none in this model.

I'm curious; why cancel a product you want made by someone who you describe as competent due to a personality conflict? Some moral boundary or principle matter? I wouldn't think a clash of personalities should be a factor in such a transaction.
The city of Seattle in _specific_ is an exception. The regulatory agencies in that specific, highly desirable, region had a strong initiative and provided accurate maps of areas of the city served by providers with 21st century gitabit (download) speeds at least the better part of a decade ago.

I distinctly recall that at the time I was looking to rent somewhere less pricy and literally crossing outside of the city lines relegated someone to living in 'the internet ghetto' of ADSL at 7mbit down and less than one up if you were lucky, or cable with outrageous rates and gigabit deploying years after it became available in the city of Seattle. There were a couple expensive apartment complexes served by Wave broadband, which had acquired an earlier company, 'condo internet'.
Removing whatever Ublock Origin needed to exist in Safari is one of the dumbest moves Apple has made.

This is true, but it's in the same style as a C64 architecture.

These guys already own C64's. You can convert the signal to HDMI if you want a C64 with HDMI. You can get C64 Maxi if you want the physical experience with emulation. All possibilities are out there.

The purpose of this is to be something new, solving some of the problems of the C64, while retaining the same architectural style.

Take what i say with a grain of salt, (I’m not an iPhone hacker and I follow their work semi-loosely but from my understanding there are a number of available and documented tethered exploits. I wouldn’t doubt theres a number of untethered exploits that are waiting in Apple’s bug tracker system, or are simply too abusable for the general public to know about.
Is this true? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox at most .5 billion was missing from Gox but from is described here a lot more can be lost from Tether if it goes black hole?
They were an interesting hobbyist thing early-on. Although there were also the S-100 bus systems, etc. I actually used Apple IIs at work in the early 80s and then an Apple III. But they were somewhat of a sideshow until the mid/late 2000s.

If there's a hard 21 million coin limit, I don't really see it as 'out of thin air'. There are 21 million Bitcoins that have and will ever exist. It's no more printing from thin air than pulling gold from the ground is.

Besides, why is panning for gold or saving a kitten fundamentally any different? A difficult physical process must take place, the fact it happens to be digital does not make it magic, despite how complex these devices may seem.

This comment sold Elixir for me more than anything. On a small team, each of those are massive headaches.

The word wanker in Australian English denotes a specific kind of negativity, attached to egotism and acting as though you're better than others. I shouldn't have used it on HN, as it's a poor choice of phrasing for an international audience.

As per [0], "the socially leveling term wanker ridicules a person who is pretentious and arrogant, thereby suggesting that humility, solidarity and being down-to-earth are highly valued qualities in Australian society." Vocally complaining about unbleached tampons and flying to Greece for one weekend are textbook wanker behaviour. I'm not sure of a good American English word to substitute.

"At 15, she decided engineering was the career for her. The problem was that it was 1924. “The average woman does not possess the same engineering instinct as the average man,” was one opinion recorded in the Daily News at around that time. It belonged to the manager of the Education Research Department at British Westinghouse. “For a woman in the 1920s a career in lion-taming would have been more realistic,” observes Shilling’s biographer, Matthew Freudenberg."

Aptly put. Good thing about reading up on history is to gain an appreciation on the enormous changes in perception in the last 100 years or so, in this case about women in STEM fields. Even when her contribution was acknowledged and applied, it was coined a horribly sexist nickname.
I mean, clearly they are public since we are all looking at them.

I think this is a good reaction to accidentally publishing information that was intended to be private. Nothing is deleted, but you stop telling new people about it. People who already know can keep reading and talking.
> As someone said, all decks are better with a Black Lotus. It is the most expensive because everyone wants it in their deck, no exception, and more than a one if it wasn't restricted (initially, it wasn't).

> Ancestral Recall may be more powerful but it requires blue mana, which may be an issue in a non-blue deck, of course you can use a Black Lotus for that...

It's true that everyone wants it with no exceptions. That's not good enough to make it the most expensive card, though; that's due to prestige.

If you look at the decklists for a recent Vintage event (here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings... ), you can see the top 16 decks play 16 Black Lotuses, just 11 Ancestral Recalls... and 16 Mishra's Workshops, which accounts for 80% of the decks that aren't playing Ancestral Recall.

There's no such thing as a "non-blue deck" in Vintage. Even the Mishra's Workshop decks can easily generate blue mana. (The Bazaar of Baghdad deck in 15th place can't, but its whole strategy revolves around not needing to generate mana at all.)

I got a scheme that can actually actively break the peg.
All you have to do is continuously buy Tether at exchanges other than bitfinex and then turn around and redeem Tether back for your money. Then turn around and do this again and again with the same money.

Every time you caught Tether from an entity that isn't Tether, you reduced the number of Tethers in circulation, and a similar amount of reserves was removed from Tether. Keep going and eventually you managed to remove enough Tethers from circulation that Tether can no longer pay you or anyone else.

The only catch is that if Tether are on to you and manage to do the reverse of this scheme (print tethers, resell them to you for you faster than you drain them) then you just lost money on transaction fees. You have to catch them off guard, and hope that you do it quick enough that they find themselves out of money before they realize what you're doing.
It's very interesting to see all the Heroku competitors popping up. DigitalOcean launched their app platform. Render.com won TechCrunch Disrupt. Hatchbox.io exists for Rails. I've used Heroku for years now, and it's generally been a pleasant experience. Lately, I've been experimenting with the various competitors, and I'm liking Render the most. I'll definitely give app runner a try.

StockSwap – Investing Reimagined
Halfway through 2021, retail investing has reached a peak volume we have never seen before. In fact, the average amount of trades happening each day has more than doubled since 2019. Trillions of dollars are moved as stocks rise and fall throughout the day. However, even though stock prices change at all hours, US retail traders are restricted to the narrow timeframe of 9:30 AM through 4:00 PM EST.

The restrictive trading hours placed upon retail traders is just one of the many issues with the current system. Some of the other problems have been brought to attention due to recent events, such as the meteoric rise of GameStop stock and Dogecoin. In both cases, many different stock brokerages used by retail traders restricted the buying or selling of specific securities, effectively manipulating the market.

Time and time again we have seen larger investment institutions place rules and regulations on ordinary traders, while giving themselves the freedom to do whatever they want. Our goal? Level the playing field.

Our vision

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) represents a massive amount of wealth and equity. It has a market cap of 26.2 trillion dollars and is easily the largest stock exchange on the planet. However, if you’re able to freely trade with all the stocks within the NYSE, you’re still only able to trade with roughly a third of the global stocks.

There are dozens of other stock exchanges out there using dozens of different currencies. However, the time-zone and currency differences make accessibility difficult. We see a world where anyone can trade on any stock exchange, regardless of their currency, at any time they wish. At first glance, it may seem idealistic, or a far reach. But in reality? It’s already here.

What is StockSwap?

StockSwap is the stock market reimagined, with the power of investing held equally by all parties for the first time in history.

On StockSwap, you can purchase any stock you need.

FWIW, as a vanilla Arch user, I have not encountered this issue.

If you have a personal project in Arduino that you really like, I'd suggest trying to get that running on a bare metal dev environment, As opposed to trying with a brand-new project.

In a previous job, we used Arduino (environment+boards) to quickly spin up prototypes and testing new peripherals, then moved them over to bare metal (avr-gcc+Makefiles, custom PCB) for our production.

And if it's not too demanding a project, give this a go with AVR first, it's much simpler to move to bare metal than with ARM. Feel free to email with any questions.

You do realize that Tether going down will bring the whole thing down with it right?
“At that moment (I must have been down to about a hundred yards), I hit his slipstream and my engine cut —stone dead.”

He didn't need to describe his lower legs suddenly becoming strangely warm.

What isn't mentioned is that before the band aid was discovered thanks to Ms Shilling and her ... (it was often called 'er c**) a Spitfire would have to invert before diving to turn a neg. into a posi. So, when your enemy pushes forwards on the stick whilst frantically wriggling left and right, you would have to spin 180 on your longitudinal axis to follow. I'm sure many of the enemy would then fake to get you to spin and whilst you are fiddling around, slow down and get in behind you.

I can imagine: ME109 finds Spitfire on his tail. He has two great options - better rate of climb and a pressurized fuel system which doesn't cut out in neg. g. The Spitfire has a better turning circle, so don't go there. I suspect that they would go for the fake dive - the Spit will have to invert to follow. Now, I don't know how long the early Spits can manage a dive before having to decide to invert or pull out, so that is a factor here. When the 109 sees the Spit inverting in the rear view, pull back fairly hard, slow down a bit, probably with a left to right jiggle with the rudder to "skid" rather than messing with revs and propellor pitch (takes to long to play with the controls). If done right the Spit will pass underneath your 109 and most importantly, be blind because he's inverted. Now you are behind him and you have a cannon plus a handful of pea shooters to deploy.

If the Spit is canny, he should see the fake dip and probably try to turn horizontally and turn the scrap into a turning game. The Spit should win that because it has a better turning circle, in general.

Have an off day at the office in one of these things and you end up dead. I can barely conceive of what it must have been like to operate like that, operation after operation, day after day, week on week, months turn to years. There is no let up.

The main way is to just not use USDT.

But here’s a creative way.

Step 1) Borrow USDT (tether) somewhere.

Step 2) Sell it for either a stablecoin you trust more and/or is trading below $1: Whether that’s USDC, GUSD, BUSD, DAI, PAX, or TUSD.

Step 3) Wait a long time for Tether to implode.

Step 4) Buy back Tether for 15 cents on the dollar to close your position.

Do I recommend you do this? No, not really. It involves taking on debt. I don’t think one tether FUD article is enough material for you to base an investment decision.
Whistleblower Is Awarded $28M in Panasonic Avionics Case
Dependency Wrapping, in Go
I had a parking light burn out on my car. Went to the car store, and a replacement bulb was $$. Perused the lamps on tags in the aisles, and found one that looked the same but had different "ears" on the side.

Bought it, and filed off the ears so it would fit in my car's socket. Worked perfectly, for a small fraction of the price.

Of course, my car is full of aftermarket parts, so I am used to making "adjustments" to get them to fit.
I don't know if this is legit or not, but a Swedish non profit is pretty awesome, it means that anyone can be a member as long as they pay a yearly symbolic member fee. Everything is owned by the members and is fully democratic, where each member has equal voting power, where members usually select a board, and the board makes the daily decisions. When it comes to taxes, etc, non-profits pretty much don't pay any taxes, yet can make millions in profit - as long as you spend that money in ways that benefits the members.

As prewett said, I was referring to individual parishes. I didn't mean to capitalize the `C` in `Churches` which perhaps added to the confusion. Whenever we'd shift parishes due to moving or whatever there was always very slight & subtle differences.

For instance, this was all post Vatican II but close enough that some were very much still old timey in feel and others felt more contemporary. Another example stems from the homilies the priests would give, each individual would have their own spin on things and that can have a huge impact on atmosphere.

Specifically what I meant by my comment: my recollection was that some of the key differences in those anabaptist congregations I mentioned tied to physical layout during service. Who sat where, who stood where, etc. Those were the sorts of things that was always a bit different parish to parish in my experience attending mass at a number of RC parishes.
