>The language used by law enforcement is quite alarming, it suggests that they should be privy to ALL transactions made, regardless of reasonable suspicion.

Unfortunately this is exactly their position, which they have made quite clear - and it isn't limited to financial transactions. Its the same line of "reasoning" they use to decry the use of encryption. They want to eliminate the concept of privacy all together and be privy to all of your transactions, communications and behavior to ensure nobody is "breaking the law". This was the whole idea behind the Orwellian "Total Information Awareness" program that was so obviously antithetical to freedom that the government was forced to change the name (while continuing to develop the program). In my opinion its far better to live in a free society where we are legally entitled to privacy and a few bad actors get away with crimes than the alternative.

This looks very much like the old site del.icio.us (which was bought by yahoo and discarded). Don't bother going there but see [wikipedia][1].

The trick there was that it was originally a "personal bookmarking" service, so there was a selfish reason for individual users to submit + curate links. Search got layered on top later.

If you like this kind of thing, the game "Control" is basically this, as a game, and it's amazing. Also probably still the best execution of raytracing in a real, modern game. I strongly recommend playing it. Whatever itch SCP scratches for you, this game will do it in 4 dimensions in realtime.

The article was written by a journalist. The dictionary was written by the Professors. If they say that their definition is better I'm going with that above both a journalist and a second year student unless you provide something a little more compelling evidence-wise.
One aspect I'm fascinated with is the way that consumer goods are continually dropping in price offsets the increase in necessities. We get a supercomputer in our pocket for $40 a month, but rent has ballooned. We can have hundreds of video games for free but we'll never own a home. And so on. We all get wikipedia for free, but a college degree is painfully expensive in a world that doesn't let you apply for jobs on the strengths of self-education.

As someone on here said years ago, "I love my iphone but I worry about health insurance."

What good is cheap frivolities if the necessary building blocks of life are skyrocketing.
Why don't you just get it?
It sucks wanting a home right now. Holding off will raise your own property value but if you’re looking for an upgrade, it raises your future property value even more for a net loss.

But if you try to rush in now, the supply is abysmal leaving you to make significant compromises, and there’s a real chance this winds up being a bubble that bursts giving you a major equity loss.
This NYT practice of offering an article as clickbait then waiting a few moments after you start reading to block access and ask for a subscription is getting really old. Everytime is a slap in the face and reenforces my position on never buying news articles. If only there was a filter or plugin to blackout links that pull that trick.
I always wondered about this but can't criminals just get some kyc info from the black market or even some homeless person and withdraw money in that person's name? Why bother with obfuscating wallets chain hopping if all that matters is to not be asociated with the name that ultimately withdraws from an exchange
Time to update your Modula-2 book past 1978 first ISO standard, here Extended ISO Modula-2:

https://modula2.awiedemann.de/manual/comp3.html

Which alongside Modula-2+, served as influence to Modula-3.

Stuff C definitely doesn't have, even when compared with 1978 Modula-2 standard:

- Proper strings with bounds checking

- Proper arrays with bounds checking

- Type safe enumerations

- Set types

- Arrays with enumerated types as indexes, flexibility to set lower and upper bounds

- Explicit unsafe code

- Reference parameters

- Nominal types

- Subranges

- Explicit casts for several cases where C would do implicit casts or type promotions

- Co-routines
I don‘t disagree, but I think it‘s congruent with what I said: A lot of that actual, totally existent revenue was paid through individuals on unemployment benefits and corporations on life support. It wasn‘t „earned“ in a lot of cases, but still spent and ended up in the hands of the few companies who could just operate normally during the pandemic. The money is still real, but the overall supply is way more than 1,5 years ago.
I am absolutely no expert in any of these domains but the level of confusion described in these comments seems a little exaggerated. Is it so hard to see what is going on here?

A data lake is a centralized repository where all of a companies data is aggregated. This allows analysts to perform queries against a single data source (often masquerading as a SQL database) rather than against 100s of distinct databases (which may be a hodgepodge of no-sql, sql, custom-rest-api, etc.). These "data lakes" often grow to a massive size since they will often not only include your application data (usually batch replicated from prod databases on some schedule or in some cases streamed directly) but also data from external sources (e.g. a feed from your payment processor, compressed events from your app/website analytics, server logs, marketing and advertising sources).

Storing and processing that volume of data efficiently is a difficult task. Many companies decide to just dump that data in a raw format into cloud storage services like AWS S3. Then some third parties made the SQL-like interfaces run on top of S3 (or connectors from S3 into other familiar tools like Spark). This allows for low-cost storage while also allowing data analysts the ability to use tools they are already very familiar with. This way of handling large volumes of data stored for analysis has become very popular.

But now that you have so much data stored in S3 you might start to wonder how you can control access to it. An analyst doing queries on website performance might not require access to the payment processing data. Your security team might point out that your growing analyst team has more access to sensitive company data than is required. As you negotiate big corporate deals their security team might start to red-flag unnecessary access to data (or ask you for your policies governing access to that data and how those policies are enforced).

This product seems to allow finer control over access to data stored in these kind of data lakes. In the same way a bunch of tools appeared to create a SQL like facade on top of the data, this tool creates a facade on top of data access control.

Not only is what they are doing completely understandable from a quick skim of the article, it also seems totally necessary. I have no doubt this is a massive market and this product has every chance to serve a real need.
Why would there be a major cash in event?

If history is any guide this wealth will be kept locked up and passed down to the next generation in perpetuity. And so on and so on, until a war destroys the capital base, kicking off a new cycle, or a revolution takes place (exceedingly unlikely, despite how much people talk about it).

People talk about this level of wealth inequality as if it's unusual and destabilizing, but the gini coefficient of the Roman empire was frequently higher and it lasted for well over a thousand years.

Indeed, I think it's quite likely that we're simply nearing the end of an anomalous period of history starting with WW2 where movement between social classes was unrestricted.
It was more common in the past. In 2002 the cold war had ended only 11 years prior. Now we are 30 years out.

Same as how back then you could say “in the war” and people knew you meant WWII, but nowaways youth may give you a confused look.

But yes at least in Canada we used to use the east/west framing, and in respect of russia. In 2002 they were the more prominent power compared to China. That situation has heavily reversed.

>I wish more people understood that the goal of Stack Overflow is not "answer my question" but "let's collaboratively build an artifact that will benefit future coders". Perhaps SO could be doing more to educate people about this. -Jeff Atwood

Yeah, this is the kicker. I think SO's primary intended audience is people clicking Google search results.

If I'm Googling something technical and I see Stack Overflow/Stack Exchange results, I always click those first, because I know I'm almost always going to attain the most helpful-information-per-unit-time that way. Even if an answer's many years old, it's usually going to be more helpful than most of the much more recent links, which are often just cookie cutter blogspam.
Having a clear cause for asset value inflation is not mutually exclusive with having asset bubbles. In fact, a reasonable explanation for inflation can well serve as a catalyst for asset bubbles. Asset prices that increase modestly due to inflationary pressure can become overheated when the narrative of "buy today or you won't be able to afford it tomorrow!" takes over. Most people who are now bidding up real estate or other assets are driven more by FOMO than an analysis of what fiscal policy will lead to what degree of inflation. And inflation alone won't stop the bubble from bursting, because the same people who are operating on greed now will be operating on fear when the prices start declining, and any rational explanation of what the "right" value of an asset should be will do little to stop the panic selling at that point.
Just because a broken clock is right twice a day doesn't mean we should ever give it credit for telling time correctly. It's completely useless to even acknowledge it as a clock. The claim that it was man made wasn't "baselessly labeled as a conspiracy theory", it was baselessly claimed as a legitimate theory.

When there is no evidence to support a claim and the science indicates that it unlikely to be true, I expect headlines to reflect that. Similarly, if we later gather evidence that changes what we believe to be most probably true, I expect headlines follow suit. And that looks to be exactly what happened.

The only bias I see here are the broken clocks thinking they contributed anything of value.
Exactly. Been using Tweetbot for years (a decade?). Never seen ads. Timeline is literally a “time line”. And nothing shows up that I don’t want to see like promoted tweets, tweets from people I don’t follow, or trends.

Even has some awesome features on top of that like muting (people or hashtags). They’re only limited by Twitter’s throttled API at this point. However, literally the day that Twitter opened up viewing tweet likes via the API, Tweetbot had updated their app to support it.

They switched to a subscription model with Tweetbot 6. And while I’m generally not a fan of subscriptions, I figured $6 per YEAR for an app that I use every day and have for nearly a decade is totally worth it to support the devs.

The solution is to have a much higher evidentiary threshold.
Neo4J has a souped SQL language they call Cypher to perform queries. But since Beads data structures are typically arranged in tree form, one typically uses the loop construct to interate across them, as one is often drawing them. To that end, Beads has a fairly elaborate loop construct, with the ability to traverse 1 or 2 dimensions at once, or do a recursive descent traversal.

In a graphical programming environment one is really listing and drawing the content for editing, versus making a list of something.

You can send subtrees across the wire conveniently, subscribe to a remote machine's subtree, etc. and you can write to the hard drive the trees.

However concurrency is not really present in the system as i am emitting JS which is a single threaded system for the most part. So Beads has almost zero concurrency support at present.
Ford has quite wisely chosen to let the battery experts make the batteries for them, and is using scale to drive down the costs of their batteries below what Tesla can achieve through vertical integration. Moreover, by not competing with the battery makers, Ford can always choose the best battery available when it comes time to sign new contracts, and isn't stuck with whatever technology their CEO is promoting on Twitter.

And the new CEO has been scrambling like crazy to get a partnership and they want to build a plant but that is still quite far away.

Ford's EV truck facility is already complete and is in pre-production trials to iron out kinks in the manufacturing lines. It is scheduled to begin mass production by the end of the summer. And unlike Tesla, Ford hits its timelines.

And you know that how?

I'm part of the crowd of people who would use it. And I talk to people, online and off, in the hiking, trail running, mountain biking, and aquatics, and off-roading communities. The interest in the Lightning in these groups is huge. People even cancelled their orders for Subarus when the Lightning dropped. In contrast, the Cybertruck is viewed as a joke: a truck that can't be used for hauling, can't be used for work, and can't be used for any outdoor activities; in short, a truck that can't be used as a truck unless you think a truck just sits in a driveway or a parking spot.

And that modification costs fair amount of money I would bet. The fact is the experience you get for the money is better. And comparing it to a Subaru wagon just tells me you are not actually serious, you just a hater.

No, lifting a car is generally less than $1000.

The fact is the experience you get for the money is better.

A Tesla interior is about the same quality as a 90's era KIA. Or in other words, it's the worst in the industry at almost any price level. And yes, I have ridden in every model of Tesla, including the original hand-made Tesla Roadsters.

And comparing it to a Subaru wagon just tells me you are not actually serious, you just a hater.

You're right, I was being very unfair to Subaru. Their wagons (the Outback and Crosstrek) have superior off-road capabilities compared to the Model Y or the expected capabilities of the Cybertruck. And the Subarus have nicer interiors. And better range. And better warranties. And are easier to get repaired. And are way cheaper.
This has never worked for me, despite me always being kind and considerate to the phone support workers.
Assuming you managed to hire an army of experts who are good at moderating the posts across various fields - Often times people also link to external articles/blogs/videos so now the moderators have to read through several page documents or sit through hours of video. I just find a moderation system like that hard to practically implement for a platform like twitter. And to be honest, I see this as going down a dark path - something that will lead to the 'Ministry of Truth' type entities with their own in-groups/fighting/politics.

That's one practical aspect, the second is, people are often times misinformed themselves and are simply posting something they heard from their buddy or on TV/youtube/etc in good faith - they're not bad-actors looking to attack the community.

Those are just my thoughts, but what do I know, I'm not an expert on these topics :)
I understand what your trying to say but paying for a tutor to specifically train you for the SAT is not giving your child a better education. (Well it kind of is because they'll get into a better college from a better SAT score but training for the test itself doesn't really make you more educated)

If if just getting a better education gives you a better score on the SAT then that is a "problem" impossible to fix. However, teaching kids tips and tricks to do better on the SAT would have minimal effect on their actual intelligence. That right there is the main problem: Preparing for the SAT has no substantial increase in intelligence but does make it seem like you do.

Footnote 1 it is then; neat. I'm not sure what a more precise translation for that would be; "administration" (eg "the Bush administration") is the best I can come up with, but that's vague and ambiguous in other ways.

Exactly.

Except the scarcity is largely driven by increased demand due to government stimulus.

Look at the 5y chart of retail sales numbers here, and how it jumped significantly right after covid hit.

https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_retail_sales

The reason inflation hasn't shown up much in modern times is because supply chains are more elastic than they used to be, and are able to scale to meet new demand quickly. This way suppliers make money via increased volume rather than by raising price.

However, we're now seeing shortages in goods that are hard to scale up quickly. For example, the chip shortage.

In general, there are three ways out of a supply shortage.

1) Increase supply. Pretty straightforward. Setup a new factory or scale up production in existing factories.

2) Fall in demand. Perhaps could happen due to fading government stimulus and effective wages declining. However, lots of major corporations are raising wages significantly to compete for unskilled labor due to the current labor shortage. You will find a lot of articles if you google this... so waning stimulus may not be enough.

3) Raise prices. Look at any Supply/Demand chart, one of the axes is price. If supply isn't sufficient to meet demand, price tends to rise until the two are in equilibrium. Otherwise the supplier is leaving money on the table. Assuming increasing output is non-viable.

My take is that 1) and 2) are mostly out of the picture for the chip shortage in the short term. I doubt new fabs or production capacity can be scaled up quickly to meet the backlog of demand in a reasonable timeframe... though I'm not an expert in the space. We'll likely end up with 3).

Beyond specific shortages, shipping costs in general have skyrocketed, likely beyond the margin of many goods we import, which necessitates price increases on its own. Check the Baltic Exchange Dry Index.

There's so much more that can be said here, but will avoid writing a huge essay :)

People like all sorts of things.

There are various reasons to enjoy this but not actually become ATC:

- its fairly common that people don’t want to ruin their hobby by making it their job

- ATC requirements are pretty strict for application

- US ATC is high stress and stagnant pay, and that combination means there is an ATC shortage which means that the employed ATCs are being worked very hard
Is there even an "Algo"? I always just see every post of the people who i follow, and posts they like or retweet, and absolutely nothing else (other than the occasional ad).

Then again i keep a very tight leash on who i follow, and keep the number of follows very low, so i know exactly what sort of content will show up. Is that not how most people use twitter?
I'm following 700 and it's generally a positive experience. I think, as other have pointed out, it could be the 'hot'/latest switch which, I fully agree, is an issue.

IT doesn't apriori preclude an RTOS, but multitasking OSs from unix heritage have so much 'free stuff' (networking, instrumentation, high-quality compilers, experience, etc) they are often the choice. For reasons I don't fully understand, and I'm in 'the business', true real-time embedded systems tend to have relatively simple TCP/UDP/IP stacks, simple https, and by simple I mean 'less robust than those on unix'. I think a fair amount of that is due to power budgets - embedded tend to be small or tiny. However, in this case, having that super beefy motor system to drive the blades taking many many watts, there would seem to be little point in saving microwatts in the MPU. So, one could do an RTOS on a smartphone chip, but it's 'fast enough' for human interactions - so the extra work in getting finite and well-defined real-time response doesn't really make much difference in smartphone apps - if the chip is 'fast enough'.
Completely agree. Even better as a constitutional amendment.

Imagine if finger print matching and other sorts of identifying methods were so opaque?

Sure, I wasn't addressing that though. I just meant that it's a little inaccurate to say Opera couldn't do it because of the turmoil and turnover, and that's on top of the fact that browser engines are immensely technical projects.

I'm worried about that as well, but it's not really fair to attribute blame to most people at Opera, especially prior to the China thing. Things were okay there for a long time before that.
