With your scheme, on Ethereum at least, miners have an advantage since they choose which transactions to include in a block they mine. So a miner would only process the random numbers sent in 2. if it results in a win for them.

Of course there is more than one miner etc., but having a positive expected outcome is enough to be worth it to play.
That's not at all how it works. Golf is what it is today because Tiger Woods was unstoppable. Basketball exploded in the 90s because Michael Jordan was untouchable.

Sports categorically do BETTER when they've got a massive superstar. Both because some people tune in to see what amazing, unbeatable performance they put out, and because some are dying to see them choke and lose. This is literally no different, Biles could try one of these moves and break her leg and be out of the competition, she's absolutely beatable even doing moves the others can't. It's all about execution.

If I had an dollar for searching and finding a reddit thread that I created for a question that I eventually had to find the answer to myself since somehow everyone else remembers this, I'd have at least 10 dollars.

Come on brain, you remember fucking commercials.
Absolutely that would be a fair a good thing.

>McKinseys first year deathmarch

You write that like everyone automatically has any idea what it is.
>How/Why?

Because a company's value (and therefore its stock price) is determined partly by how much assets it has on hand. A company that's capital intensive by definition bring in less money for the same amount of capital invested. Think how much money you need to invest to get spacex off the ground (r&d, rockets, manufacturing facilities, etc.) and how much profit it brings in, compared to how much investment a SaaS needs (a laptop) and how much profit it can bring in (hundreds of thousands? millions?). Under a tax scheme that taxes based on company's shares, a 1% tax would get you 1% of spacex's IP, rockets, and manufacturing facilities, but a 1% tax on a SaaS would only get you 1% of their laptops.

>A "share tax" would apply to the same entity that shareholders own a stake in, it doesn't try to disentangle subsidiary structures.

So the US would end up getting 1% ownership of Microsoft USA, which makes zero profit and sends all its profit to Microsoft Bermuda. Once they're about to lose control because they bled too many shares, they'll cut off doing business with Microsoft USA and start doing business with Microsoft America (a newly formed company) instead.

>Companies might try to list on Bermuda's stock exchange. I wouldn't discount that possibility, but it won't happen overnight.

It might not happen overnight but I guarantee it would happen within the year.
AI Disproving Mathematical Conjectures
For physical goods the local ratio is much, much higher. Transport, storage, sales, whatever. Digitals goods are, comparatively, just teleported wherever, with minimal local interaction.
That is a bit ironic that you call inclusion the absence of social interactions.
Virgin Galactic announces another human-tended science flight
Most of Europe has relatively nice public transport. I used to read books while on my way to work. That was 1.5-2 hours per day for my library. My previous office was 30 minutes walking distance from my home. Great way to wake up as opposed to coffee. While I was in the US, they had scarcely any sidewalks. Only in big cities it seemed appropriate to walk to somewhere.
This might've been true years ago but in the US lately that does not seem to be the case.

Nuclear energy and vaccines are the main things that comes to mind with the left, but lately I think both of those are more likely to be rejected by the American right than the left.
Am I the only one to suspect that this "order" is mostly a show deal? United Airlines will do anything to seem progressive, and Boom needs some credibility in order to raise more funding.

That's surprising, but I think it's good. He's obviously not viable in the diversity role, but there's no reason to go ballistic over a 15 year old blog post.
It's not right - It is for the end user I mean but the basic idea did not spawn from a need to make right with their users. They aspire for market domination as well by impeding competition. I don't believe that this will affect their tracking though.
Many games have "assist modes" of some kind. Sometimes as part of a difficulty setting, sometimes you have fine-grained controls, especially in racing games.

Usually, when these modes are enabled, there is some indication that they are used, and you can't enter ladders with them, to prevent cheating.

Well, yes. If you ignore the development costs, British Airways turned an operating profit.
To the extent that the courts recognize that possession of the NFT key represents sole ownership of or license to the copyright.

Assuming for the sake of argument the simplest case:

* It is not in dispute that Alice created a digital work
* It is not in dispute that Alice owned the full copyright at the time of creation
* It is not in dispute that Alice only sold/licensed the copyright once
* It is not in dispute that said one time happened in the same transaction that the corresponding NFT was transferred, nor that Alice and the recipient intended for the NFT to represent ownership.
* The NFT is transferd on-chain several additional times.

Most of these assumptions can easily become the central area of a copyright dispute. However, even assuming these assumptions are accurate, there are more problems:

* Suppose that at some point in time Bob owned the NFT. Charlie claims that Bob either licenced the work to him, or sold him all rights, however the NFT was not transfered. Since Bob owned the copyright, doing so was within his rights. The NFT subsequently gets transferred multiple times, which has no effect on what rights Charlie has. The current owner of the NFT sues Charlie for copyright infringement for using the NFT.
* Suppose that at some point in time Bob owned the NFT. It is subsequently transferred several more times. Bob claims that he never sold it, and said transfers are the result of a hack.

To work around these issues, you cannot sell the copyright to the NFT owner, but must license it under fairly restrictive terms, such as:

* All rights under this license are provided exclusivly to any entity that demonstrates current ownership of the NFT, and are revoke when such an entity loses the ability to do so.
* Any rights holder under this license may not grant rights to others [0]
* The original copyright holder revokes all further rights from themselves.

Additionally, you need this license to track the work (not difficult, many digital works ship with a license nowadays). Further, you need the courts to recognize the terms of the license as valid and interpret them the way you intended.

[0] Any desired ability to grant rights could still be encoded into the NFT system, in which case the license should clarify that

Commute

Home <-> Walk <-> train(euston) <-> walk <-> tube <-> walk <-> work

Time required if everything work correctly

~ 1h 10m to work

~ 1h 30m from work, (more since you dont want to miss the train)

Now, a single cancelled/missed train for me is +30m, happened at least once a week due to faulty train etc.

In addition, these things happen all the time:

Is the tube delayed today causing me to miss my train? +30m

Is it hot summer week? expect almost everyday to be cancellations of 1h+++

Someone trespassing/ hit by train, cancellations of 1h+++

Signalling problem, cancellation of 1h+++

Fire next to track cancellation of 3h+++

plus more
Many days I have spent more than 4hrs just to get home.

Now this 2h 40m commute easily averages out to 4h
The article manages to contradict itself at every turn. For example:

"Only yesterday, Google announced its plans to make advertising ID an opt-in feature."

A few paragraphs later:

"Google’s opt-out ad-tracking popup isn’t on the forefront like in iOS. Instead, it’s buried deep in the Google Play Service settings — which could be difficult for the non-tech savvy user to find out."

And this opener:

"Facebook has a market evaluation of over 930 billion dollars today."

Versus the conclusion:

"Clearly, this chain of events is about to trigger an irreversible slump in Facebook’s advertisement business — making their ambitions of becoming the fastest trillion-dollar tech firm a far-fetched dream."

Is it really a far-fetched dream when the stock price only needs a 7.5% bump from its current level?

Yes the terms are usually like that. The upfront payment is probably fairly small and not material to United. If Boom fails to deliver then United will become one more unsecured creditor in the bankruptcy case.
Python branches are maintained for five years. Python 2.7 was maintained for an extra five years. You were free to choose any other language with decades of long term support, and you are still free to have this one extended (yes, there are companies selling paid support for Python 2.7 or really old Django versions); not reading what was written on the box then bitching about it is what I would call “nasty”.

Btw you can still return your copy of Python for a full refund.
I would probably write it from scratch to avoid bringing in a big dependency which requires a FFI to use it just for a simple protocol like HTTP. What languages use libcurl in their idiomatic HTTP library? As far as I can see, only Rust uses it in the standard library (EDIT: actually it doesn't). Go has its own HTTP implementation.
What ethology tells us is that, yes, but a little more.

Competition IS relevant, but it's in the context of other drives like group-oriented behavior, and it is cooperation that some people seem to have a hard time understanding. Cooperation and group behavior is every bit as powerful and rewarding as competition is, and every bit as natural.

I feel like we get into trouble when we try to isolate one side of things and dismiss the other. You're correct that western societies (probably not exclusively western societies) have erred, in leaning way over to the 'competition' side.

You could say law of the jungle except for jungles don't operate in this simplistic way. More like law of the capitalism, which tries to deify one behavior and demonize the other.

I'm not convinced Kropotkin is the final answer here, but he sure serves as a good window into the 'cooperate' side which is unreasonably suppressed in western society.
> don't use a cropped Playboy pin-up

Answer me this. Why not? Has the model herself lamented and regretted the fact she posed for that picture? No. *

Quit being prudish and embrace the human body. There is no sin in appreciating beauty. And it's not like it's forced nudity, it's always the offended ones resurfacing the Playboy original. This article doesn't deserve any hate for using an innocent and historically-relevant picture.

* 'In January 2019 [Lena Forsén] said that while she wished she had been better compensated, she was "really proud of that picture"'.
You can even still get someone else to maintain it for you! Just not the Python Software Foundation. If it's an important piece of your business it may make sense to have a support contract in place regardless.

The Reemergent 1977 H1N1 Strain and the Gain-of-Function Debate
Nearly every one of those nationally ranked urban high schools are magnet schools, which in no way are representative of those school systems in general.

As an example in New York annually about 30,000 kids take the specialized high school acceptance test, and about 800-850 are offered admission to Stuyvesant HS, one of the most elite. It is not the same experience of a neighborhood high school in a poor neighborhood.
Anecdotal, but I think people on HN tend to care about privacy more than the general population. In my friend group, where no one else works in tech, everyone still actively uses facebook. And I haven't even started to talk about Instagram and Whatsapp. An average person doesn't care about it as much as you think or you would like to think that they do. Heck a part of me is happy that I get relevant ads rather than some random ad.
I haven't worked with Google Cloud dashboards much, but I feel like I recognize what you're talking about. I hate pages that load quickly with everything missing and then incrementally load all their components, even if it happens very quickly. As soon as the page comes up, my brain starts fruitlessly working to figure out how to interact with it, while it churns through its transformation into an actual working page. Instead of wasting my attention like that, just be honest and don't ask for my attention until you're ready for it.
Almost every application that supports Linux has been ported to other platforms. Linux is the one big platform no one is forced to use.
I think the distribution of good teachers and parents ability to devote time to the children have at least as large a role. The latter driving the former. I would think better teachers would tend to gravitate towards areas where they get support from the parents and the parents ensure homework is done, etc. This is just my opinion.
Sounds like you need an environment with better collaboration tools and people who know how to communicate.

I was getting a slew of emails related to a project and after a bit of coaching I got most of these updates to go into a teams channel, where we can call out the interested part @user, and keep things in an easier to view format when we need to catch up.

Antiwhite statements are okay because whites are the oppressors and are in privledged positions of power. We need more Jews in leadership positions at influential organizations like media companies. Then we can promote more Jewish tolerance
I think the sense is which the GP is using secular is to roughly mean atheistic faith. The new movements we see with a religious characteristic are not based on a deity but otherwise have all of the hallmarks or a religious system (clergy, faith, heretics, threat of damnation, etc).

I actually think atheistic faith is pretty scary: its sortof a psychopathic version of theism, where instead of a supreme being that generally has a conscious and can be reasoned with (within the religious mythology), atheistic faith presents itself as some kind of objective fact, with no central leader or responsible parties.
I don't know any specifics, but I'd guess that united's up-front payment is near $0, and the main benefit for boom is not the immediate cash flow but the ability to take united's order to a bank and use it to secure a loan.
I’m likely going to get solar panels, but building a pool is an expensive frustrating process, and I didn’t want to take on an additional project at the same time. The pool also has an electric heat pump so as long as the solar panel install is large enough solar panels will cover both needs.

Still need to work out the numbers on the solar panels so I can decide if I should buy them, or lease them.
Looks like material prepared by https://www.blacklivesmatteratschool.com/ as part of their plan/goal to as you say "integrate activism into school". Not sure if it's really a leak if it's posted right on their website (https://www.blacklivesmatteratschool.com/curriculum.html)?

I definitely think that no single activism group or "area" should get an outsized influence in education. Certainly it would be irresponsible for teachers or school boards to simply take an given activists group's curriculum or material and apply them as is.

While I understand the hesitancy, especially in the early childhood context, I do wonder what you how educators should approach topical things like black lives matter?
You mean the basics of Microsoft products, not computers.

In Europe they've bribed most of the school systems so computing is basically just Word and Excel.
Ultimately every platform is about control. With the situation wrt bonzai buddy and a million search bars on every '95 box, treacherous/trustworthy DRM-everywhere computing was eventually inevitable.

Enter the iPhone/iOS and ChromeOS. (Android and Windows still have an escape hatch, and are still plagued with malware. macOS's escape hatch is basically irrelevant at this point, to the point of nonexistence.)

In those circumstances, if you aren't publishing the OS and holding the secret keys to the certs in bootloaders, you are only a sharecropper, and your access to the namespace of programs that are allowed to run on end user devices is entirely outside of your control.

Your milkshake is now someone else's. Epic and Facebook are upset about this, understandably.

I personally believe that people should be able to run Facebook spyware on the devices they bought, even if it is worse for them and the world. We aren't free if we aren't free to act against our own interests.

You're correct. The point is that for NA that common descent is Arab not African. I know that's not completely true but in the context of the crude racial classification system the US uses it is. According to the US government you're white:

>White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.

I wonder about the larger feedback loops between hardware error checking in software and the optimizations hardware manufacturers are making at the fab. Presumably more robust software would result in buggier cores being shipped, but would this actually result in more net computation per dollar spent on processors?
our regional electric utility provider's site is slick, all ajax and pretty and every click takes at least 30 seconds to complete an action. it's noticably slower than most other bloated sites, and i don't understand how their developers, much less anyone else can stand it. it can't be THAT much faster being local to the machine or network.

I fly SF->NYC redeye regularly. The practical side of takeoff and landing is that I get 4 hours of sleep max. I also start to sleep around 2AM NYC time. If I could reduce flight time to 2.5 hours, I would rather land in NYC at 2AM and get to bed there so I can start my day much better rested.
It was just a humorous warning for normal people to not use odd kernel versions. Long ago odd versions were extremely experimental and this was the best example of crazy they could think of.

Tripadvisor beats them all: I have been using it since its beginning (amazing product and amazing competitive advantage over other travelers). Today, it is a hall of fame of all the direct marketing tricks, black hat seo technics, anti-patterns, external javascript from everywhere, etc. Also, its information is so diffused and played that it does not provide extraordinary advantage.

Elon Musk now claims that the final production Tesla Roadster used very few Lotus Elise parts. Even though the vehicles looked similar they ended up changing almost everything, and in retrospect using the Elise platform didn't save them anything.

I love this podcast. It just hits all the buttons for me. It's well-researched and addresses language, daily life, and national history. The pacing is kind of frustrating in the earlier episodes, but it improves over time. 3 episodes hinting at the region where the original proto-Indo-European-speaking people lived and then all of the movements and migrations glossed over in 15 minutes. I about lost it. Had to listen to the episode that covered the migrations twice because he went so fast after I spent 3 episodes yelling at him to just say they originated in the Caspian steppe. 3 hours tap-dancing around saying that they had horses and so we need to look at what areas had domesticated horses and where were horses domesticated and.... apparently I'm still mad about it.

Anyway, I stuck it out and I'm glad I did. I'm on episode 67 and still loving it. It is so thorough. He's just now getting to middle English in the 67th hour-long episode for reference.

I do wish he knew more about languages besides English, Latin, and Greek. He tries to discuss declension and case and it's hard to do that without some experience with languages that use a lot of different cases. If he had some knowledge of Slavic languages, it would have been much easier for him to demonstrate the utility of that grammar. You can definitely tell that he's explaining something he's unfamiliar with himself. But he's not a linguist by trade or education and he makes that clear early on and I'm damn impressed with how much he knows.

Dang that'sa lot of words for "if you're interested in English language history, listen to this show", so I'll stop here. Seriously it's excellent.
