Reddit started a media driven frenzy over this missing person that further hurt an already tramatized family: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunil_Tripathi

As far as I am aware, crowd sourcing via social media did not assist with indentifying and catching the suspects.
Definitely fast enough if you want to implement centralized crypto blockchain ;) /s
Saying something acts as a marketing campaign != saying it needs a marketing campaign, I'm not sure how you made that leap..

My point is that Doge doesn't necessarily take cash inflows away from BTC, describing a possible mechanism for the opposite phenomenon, not that anything needs a marketing campaign.
Hopefully sane and unencumbered by a never ceasing shit stream of dubious information.

At least that's how I feel after leaving social media. I check NYT a couple times a day and browse Hackernews while I'm waiting for tests to complete. The rest of the time I'd spend dawdling on Twitter or Fark I put towards reading.

YMMV, but for me, I find it far more pleasant and less hectic.

How can we limit the domain of their responsibility so severely?

Take climate change. Ultimately we need elected officials to enforce regulations. If we limit their ability to do so, then you’ll have a power vacuum, and those with the most money power and influence will be making the rules... again with science losing.

I don’t think we need to expect them to have expertise in every field. Instead even basic critical thinking skills, basic ability to asses scientific method vs pseudoscience. I feel like that should be a low bar to hit.
Pure interest: would you mind listing the things you transported in more detail? Maybe not so much the raw materials but the end purpose.

I don’t live in rural US (neither rural nor US). Here in UK you see more 4x4s in the countryside, part fashion, part poorer roads - but there is definitely plenty of countryside perfectly well served by regular cars, and you do see a lot of them about. Few trucks meanwhile.

So my imagination can’t quite figure out the difference.
They have many fees, some of which used to include paying for the convenience of printing your own ticket at home, but the majority is a percentage of ticket price.
I like the visual feedback with the multi select where I can select all the occurrences of a variable and then change the name at the same time without leaving the editor by just using the shortcut.

For find and replace, I have to leave the editor and go to a different tool window. Also, my regex skills are sometimes lacking when I want to find something on a deadline. I only use find and replace when I have to do the same refactor across files.
Zipcar used to have cargo vans. Not sure if they still do (don't use them anymore).

But I haven't had a terrible experience at UHaul, as long as you go to one of their big locations. (I always go to this location in Chicago: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8543365,-87.6406812,3a,75y,1... , even if it's not the closest, it's easy enough to get to and they don't run out of stuff...)
Who is forcing you to leave the walled garden? All we are asking for is an option to install unapproved apps. You don't have to install them if you don't want to.
I mean, that works? It's not great by any means, but it at least eliminates the ability to make the assumptions underlying more aggressive optimizations, which seems like it'd address one of the bigger concerns around said optimizations.
Actually if they can build an Expedition SUV on this platform in short order, they could have another model T on their hands. That little e at the end of the bar crossing the capital F would finally take its meaning! (seriously in this price range, it could be a Panel van replacement for amazon, FEDEX, plumbers etc. A suburban ppl mover would be an absolute hit, I'd buy one in advance. (not a 100$ deposit, and cancel my CT reservation that I'm hoping to convert on to a yet to be announced hypothetical tesla SUV based on CT...)
With insane amounts of computation, making models much smaller while having minimal impacts on performance is possible.

It depends on how ordering them works and if the base model is actually available and if it’s still a crew cab; finding a new affordable near base model F150 is actually pretty difficult. If closer to minimum spec Lightnings are more common the effective price difference is smaller.

Sure, you do 99.9% of the time. But all it takes is once, you're distracted, someone's yelling at you from the house, whatever, and then that's it.
> Why is Bitcoin made up of back-links to previous blocks? Isn't a block no more than a memoization of a event-sourced log at a point of time? That's just a really badly constructed journaling filesystem.

My understanding is that the chain of blocks, whereby each successor block is dependent on the hash of the previous one, acts as a self contained proof that a huge amount of work went into generating this. The rule that everyone needs to follow then is to simply always trust the longest chain presented to them (or the one that was most difficult to build depending on the amount of solutions at every difficulty.) By only looking at the last block, you lose this consensus mechanism. Not sure exactly how that isn't an issue with PoS though since they aren't verifying with work, and it seems that they can just keep track of the head of the transactions.
Good point.

And there are many people today who still take the Branch Davidians's side in that shootout, furthering anti-government feelings today. Pro-gun groups believe that stockpiling of weapons is a holy right that should not be violated.
It's worse than that. Not only does it make a spectacle of them being female, it implies their accomplishments are only notable because they are female, that those accomplishments would not be special if performed by a man. It's exploitative and infantilizing at the same time.
As much as I like the beginning of the title: “Nassim Talib is Possibly Wrong”, I don’t really see much evidence being presented here.

I don’t even think he’s wrong about IQ. Just maybe a bit too over dramatic with his statements.
This doesn’t actually address Taleb’s main point about IQ. he argues that IQ does not measure intelligence – in fact, it’s a test of unintelligence.
> Economic systems failing in the past is not evidence that the current paradigm will fail and it’s certainly not evidence that it will fail because it’s fiat.

If the reason for failure is hyperinflation, then it is a pretty concrete pattern relating to a debt crisis.

> Why?

Because state monopoly over money is not a free nor fair, and leads to an eventual weakening of money.

In all of the examples above it will emit a machine instruction to dereference p. What your grandparent is complaining about is that it will later remove an "if (!p)" test.

Law enforcement does not solve the sort of low-level citizen-brigade crime that this app would address, it only treats the symptoms. The cause is people driven to desperation; put money into social programs to address the root of their desperation.
That article is claiming that the accelerations some have computed based on instrument readings for some unidentified objects are impossibly high. To avoid this impossibility, they claim that the only logical explanation is that the craft are curving space time in such a way as to actually have 0 acceleration, which they claim is somehow possible.

First of all, the only theory of curved space-time that we have doesn't allow 'at will' curving, by simple conservation laws. Second of all, the amount of curvature needed to achieve the apparent acceleration is proportional to that acceleration, and so is the mass-energy required to produce that curvature. If it were possible to curve space time so much that you appear to accelerate at 12000g, you should also be able to accelerate to 12000g. I haven't done the math, but I would expect the amount of mass required to be well above the Schwartzschild limit, meaning that whatever the UAP was before attempting such a maneuver, it would quickly become an easily-identified black hole afterwards.

Obviously, the explanation that is far more in line with current physics than the article's exotic space-curvature drive would be various glitches in the instruments used to assess the speed of the 'objects'.
Who owns the hospitals in Portland? There is no conflict between churches and capitalism, either.
Why? Prices are the signal to market participants for allocating resources. It is the whole basis of free markets and why they work.

What would society gain by obfuscated pricing? Assuming the goal is to benefit all of society, and not certain individuals who happen to be able to take advantage of arbitrage scenarios.
I’m always surprised to see that scriptures from 2000 years ago are intelligible for us and do not sound dumb or ultra-simplistic. Similarly, the relationships described in those books are very similar to today’s times. On another topic, when studying historic documents of feminism, I’ve noticed there were the same opposition (and arguments) one century ago and today.

Despite having to recognize the immense _scientific_ progress, the _social_ progress is always touted as immense but I rather have the impression that humans remain as flawed as they were 2000 years ago.
Isn't it using Material Design?
The 3/4 series grew in size so much that they introduced the 1/2 series to fill the void of a small coupe. They didn't have to increase the physical dimensions by over a foot in length and nearly half a foot in width. It completely changed the driving dynamics. So, yes, it was absolutely is not worthwhile considering they decided to make a replacement for it after realizing that they alienated a lot of enthusiasts.
I did basically the same thing as you.

> The first few weeks I did absolutely nothing but workout, read books, play video games, or just lay out in a hammock.

But I did this for 3 years, never tired of it, and only got a job when I had 6 months of expenses left in easily accessible cash (could’ve held out longer if I had sold off stocks but didn’t want to do that).
Ebola and H1N1 were both epidemics. The former wasn't a pandemic and the latter didn't kill that many people in hindsight, but they were most definitely epidemic in large communities.
I just use Nix for this. The nice thing with it is it's uniform and you can manage versions for any language.

>selection of text + pasting of a link as "turn this text into a link using the URL in the clipboard"

Seems like an interesting UX debate. It's a handy shortcut, but it makes "paste" modal depending on what's in the clipboard. Pasting might replace the selected text, or might link it. And because the behavior depends on whether the clipboard text "looks like" a URL, there's an element of DWIM (Do What I Mean) in there. Does it only handle http:// links? What about www.? Or mailto:? etc.
I don't know how you can say that

I was about to say the same thing about diets, before I even got to when you said:

> It feels a little bit like reading about diets!

It makes me wonder why something like that doesn't have a definitive answer, or something to point out which side (or both) is wrong, but they seem to be immune to inspection. Although, I did read a book called Diet Cults (written by just a journalist though) which contradicted all the extreme ones and suggested a very moderate approach.
I think there are too many confounding variables to make any conclusions. It's pretty well established that MaxIQ is determined by genetics, but whether you reach your max is determined by the environment you grow up in. So if you have smart, wealthy parents, there is a good chance that your MaxIQ is pretty high and that you will get the environment necessary to reach that max, while also having the advantage of generational wealth. Teasing that apart seems nearly impossible.

That being said, anecdotally all of the wealthy people I know tend to also be some of the smartest people I know, but not all of the smartest people I know are wealthy. It seems like being smart is necessary for building and keeping wealthy, but it isn't sufficient. And also being smart doesn't necessarily cause wealth building.

So in summary, it seems that intelligence is necessary but not sufficient to be wealthy, but intelligence doesn't cause wealthiness.
Well, first you can tune SQLite to get a 1000x speedup over 400w/s, without compromising safety too much. Second, the use case is small & local — I use it as an fprintf replacement.

Second, 400 concurrent users per second is a lot? If I had 400 users per second, with a 10 minute engagement time for 4 hours a day, I’d have ~10000 daily users. If they paid a monthly SAAS of 5$/user, I’d be making 600k$/year.

So… considering the implementation simplicity, that seems like a good trade off?
in your front yard? I live in Seattle and find that hard to believe.
This is a rather irritating article - the publicly available knowledge tells me it’s not known what this is. There have been reports from U.S. military pilots that can’t explain what it is. Thats with the stigma of talking about this, until recent policy changes

I have no idea what these events are - but I’m suspicious of anyone who feels comfortable to say it absolutely is or is not anything specific

As mentioned in this thread, even with the cameras in a military fighter jet, video is hard to get in good quality at the distances seen in aviation
It did. Mueller specifically stopped short of recommending indictments (based on Department of Justice policy of not indicting sitting Presidents), but he found ten counts of obstruction of justice, and explicitly said that his report does NOT exonerate Trump.
The federal government framed themselves as the victims there, while the government gunmen were taking memento photos standing next to charred corpses.

David Koresh was known to leave the compound to visit town regularly. The government could have and should have arrested him during one of these visits. Instead they chose to wage a small war (getting several of their own killed in the process.)

Why not allow other competitors to take over these software responsibilities if they want to? Why can't Google Play be on iOS too? Do you think Google wouldn't be able to effectively curate, distribute, and secure its own app store?

Yes, Apple builds excellent hardware, and deserves to be rewarded for it. They are rewarded when I give them money for their products. They shouldn't have a say in what I do with the product after I receive it. Imagine buying a new Ford or Nissan and the dealership sets which highways you're allowed to drive on!
When they come to bash your head in, it doesn't help if you "stop supporting them" .
It's probably wise to emulate the Apple Arcade approach, as the Xbox Game Pass for $9.99 has a lot of value and it will be nearly impossible to compete with that.

If the company owns the truck, they then have to get insurance for it, and to get reasonably priced insurance, they will likely need to run background checks on everyone allowed to drive it.

It is much less hassle and money to throw a few bucks an hour at the guy who is willing to use his own to run the errands if thr company doesn't need the truck for anything else.

At least for terraform, I find using an env an anti-pattern. The software moves too fast and you get stuck if you can't just stay up to date. I have done both the env route and the stay-up-to-date route on non-trivial infra (~1MM/mo) and the latter is far superior. It's not too bad when you just need to keep moving up and it's a small task.
Think about this. Imagine a gambler that wins a game and wants to keep his money. Then he stops and never plays ever again in the same casino. But he wants to win some more money. So what if he takes his money to another casino? He could lose or win. Let's say he wins again, and goes around the city playing in different casinos. In the long run his earned money will be 0. So, it's better to win once in the first casino and then stop.

The gambler dies, and his son gets the money. Now his son is a new gambler who lives in a different city. If he plays in other casinos he could win or lose, but in the long run his earned money will be 0 too.

It means that for a gambler to actually win he must win only once, then he must not play ever again, or any other gambler with his money, since entropy is "connected" to that money, because money makes part of the same system.
We started feeding pigeons at our 8th floor apartment in india. Above us is just sky where lots of Kites circle. Over time, the pigeons decided our house is their... hospital? They'd show up here when sick. We'd leave food and water out for them, but they were often too sick to eat or drink. Sometimes they'd recover and fly away, but other times they just sit and wait for death (usually 2-3 days). Some corners of the terrace provide shelter from cats that hunt in the apartments so that could be why they choose this place.

Anyway in the last year, I have seen 4 pigeons die here (one eaten by cat). I think birds of prey or cats get to a lot of dying birds first, so we don't often see them.
Even when the birds do die a non-violent death, they seem to be able to choose their spot for dying.
