I object to their methodology. They are including the sides of the pancake to model the pancake as having a plateau-like topology to conclude that it's "not flat". Clearly the pancake being referred to in the adage "Kansas is as flat as a pancake" is referring to the interior region of a pancake that excludes the edges. A more appropriate methodology would model only a Kansas sized interior of a larger North America sized pancake, without the cliff-like edges.

Sure if you are super motivated you can bike in any weather. But for 95% of people they will only be willing to bike if it is nice out.

The average person is not going to go out and buy a fat bike or spiked tires for the winter. And they probably shouldn't, biking in winter is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. And sure I could wear a full rain suite and bike in the rain, but that is far less convenient than just driving and wearing a light jacket. So sure it is possible to bike in all weather, in the same way that it is possible to walk 5k, just no one wants to.

You're right, but less, rather than more.

1. 4 HMOs total, not hundreds. That's a big difference, it's still pretty centralized.

2. The HMOs actually compete on very little, mostly customer service. They are heavily regulated and have to provide services to a spec that's spelled out by the government, including pricing.

3. These 4 HMOs are mostly historic in origin; starting a new one would probably need to be initiated by the government.

4. For example, your example of (digital) prescriptions being filled by any pharmacy: that's an regulation codified in law. And while 100% of pharmacies can fill it, only those with an arrangement with your HMO will give you the subsidized price.

>that happen to their dogs

It's a pretty normal part of dogs inter-social behaviour, as you should now the back of the neck of dogs is used by parent dogs to discipline (and sometimes carry) their pubs. In turn it's also used to make dogs submit in social fights between them. Which is a normal/natural part of there social interaction.

And yes there are aggressive and dangers dogs, too.

Still if you step in you are likely increasing the aggression the other dog has against your dog. Which if it repeatedly happens with the same dogs could make the situation problematic if you at some point are not fast enough to step in.
I've always liked that about Kansas.

An optimist senses it as an "unbounding": a freedom to travel, adventure, explore in any direction.

> if you want to drive from within the city center to the outside (e.g. go back from a shopping mall / restaurant / business meeting)

But I don't know if being able to do this is a reasonable expectation in the first place. Why do you have a car in the centre of a city? They aren't designed for cars. Live in the suburbs or countryside if you want a personal car.
Given current knowledge of physics, 1kg of energy would create .5 kg of matter and .5 kg of antimatter. The apparatus would need to immediately separate the two to prevent an extremely large explosion.

Presumably there is some unknown process which either favors matter production or sequesters antimatter as this occurred during the big bang.
A simple practical reason is that the volume of known files that has MD5 or SHA1 hashes is huge compared to SHA256. It's preferable to have something collision-resistant, but also if your goal is to simply be able to identify files, and MD5 or SHA1 checksum can be fine. That will change over time, but realistically tons of AV scanners and tools like this need to support MD5 or SHA1.

Of course, if you're generating new files that you know about or checking existing known good files, one would include the SHA256 and SHA512 with it.

Many reforms will be aggressively resisted. Wet markets are unlikely to be shut down unless they can be plausibly fingered as the source of COVID-19 (and maybe not even then). GoF research has been heavily criticized for years, but it is still funded because there's a lobby in favour of it. People saying "hey, this could cause a pandemic" wasn't enough. There's another in favour of encroaching on wilderness.

We're more likely going to do none of the things. Again, unless one of them can be shown to be directly related to COVID, and even then, it's questionable.

Would a 1 hour attack have any long-term effect though? Once the attack stops, won't the legitimate chain catch up to and surpass the one that contains the false transactions? If the only effect of the attack is to have some false transactions be on the dominant chain for a few hours, the damage isn't that much different than Visa being down for a few hours, so long as you are able to either detect that the attack is happening, or just always be aware you need to wait a few hours for things to fully settle.
That, plus most of the times inclined to say TWW, even if you are so because of a feeling, you can tie it at least intuitively to a use case, a specific part of the system that would be challenging etc. in these cases a good middle ground is to ask “how will that work for … “

Part of the confusion is that lab leak theory includes a zoonotic component. The virus started as a bat virus and then was modified in the lab.

Agents of the imperial European powers used to act in the "interests of the empire" abroad without significant oversight ~200 years ago so this situation could be similar with the Chinese fleet being paid with incentives that encourage bending of the rules.

The stronger implication missed in the headline is from the key word I emphasize here: "no more mediocre and schlocky Star Wars." The judge was clearly judging at least some subset the films Lucas himself released to be mediocre and schlocky.

In fact, the judge could still claim he was reserving judgment on the quality of the Disney films. After all, he was only calling the promise of a future improvement in quality illusory. But even that claim depends on some of Lucas' own output being mediocre and schlocky in the first place.

In either case the ruling is against Lucas here. :)
I also recall mass confusion about what constitutes “man-made”. That could mean anything from a natural-origin virus released accidentally from a lab that was legitimately studying it, to an artificial-origin virus deliberately released from a lab for malign purposes.

It seems they outnumber the Argentinian fishing fleet 4 to 1, just counting the Chinese vessels which make up only 66% of the total intruders. So probably they outnumber the navy by quite a bit more. Impounding all these vessels would probably not make economic sense. They cant utilize that many vehicles and the people that might buy them would be the people they took them from. They would have to escort each one back to harbor and what do they do with the sailors? Feed and house them for free? Sinking these vessels with all hands with no warning would be the most effective way to handle it, no time wasted escorting and the impact psychologically would be outsized to the vessels sunk. Of course, that would gain them a great deal of negative publicity.
Probably not much. The country has been going through an very bad financial crisis.

Wii U keeps the original Wii/Gamecube GPU. It has another chip behind it that scales it to HDMI.
This is also why Wii 240p doesn't work on the Wii U. Instead old VC games will be a slightly blurry 480p at best.

If you want the clearest 480p, the original Wii will do. With component cables and a compatible TV, it should be just as clear as DreamCast VGA.
Dolphin can't play Wii U games, but it can play games released on Wii U's Virtual Console platform, which is the case here

I noticed:

- Australia needs more global connectivity. IIRC, data transiting outside of AU is relatively expensive.

- China needs more connectivity, especially with the US for e-commerce (AliExpress is very slow).

- SE Asia mostly has a great deal of connectivity.

- India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and France are well-connected.

- Iceland has 4, soon to be 5, links.

- St. Helena, Kiribati, Rurutu, Tubuai, and rural Canada along the Hudson are getting drops soon.

- There's no connectivity from the central southern US to Central/South America, it all goes through Florida.

As an Argentinian, I can add that sadly this has been happening for years, and it appears on the news for time to time. The vessels are mainly from China, in addition to South Korea, Japan, and Spain.

The economic situation of Argentina means that there are not enough funds to control de coast. So these ships go in and out at the 200 miles that limit the international waters. It’s easy to see by satellite, but hard to control with a small and under equipped coast patrol.
The fleet vanishes in International waters outside the EEZ.

Finally, a shameless plug of a repo [3] where I implement Lamport and Winternitz's schemes for one-time signatures and Merkle trees for many-times signatures. I make use of the C reference implementation of SHAKE-128, which is currently considered to be the most secure hash algorithm from NIST.

You can create a DAG in yaml it's just that 99% of projects ignore creating a graph and just treat 'build rules' as an imperative script. The other problem with YAML-as-a-lang is eventually you need to express something that isn't just static key vals (see ansible) and turns into a quite a mess.
I this case, I think it's a genuine mea culpa from the FBI, without explicitly admitting they were wrong.

The subpoena, and USA Today's response [1] paints a picture of an incompetent and/or inexperienced FBI agent, who is unaware of existing Justice department guidelines specifically prohibiting her from serving such a subpoena.

Reading between the lines, citing "other methods" is the FBI's way of quietly withdrawing a subpoena that should never have been served.

Python's NumPy library deliberately emulates much of the functionality of Matlab's core (similarly, fundamental plotting with matplotlib follow similar design cues). As a lapsed long-time Matlab user, I think they're just as fun to use.

There is also Octave, an open-source Matlab alternative, but when I last used it (admittedly quite a while ago) it had limited support for toolboxes (e.g. signal processing). I imagine it has only improved since.
Rules are a way for whichever party is more powerful at the time of rule writing to lock in advantages in their favor. Take a look at any US election cycle, each parties tries to create laws that it knows will be difficult to overturn even if they get voted out in 4 years.

Is it any wonder a rising power chafes at rules that it didn't get same amount of influence over at the time of writing because it was weaker? Our entire structure of international law is based on decisions made in those first few years after WW2. It's been 70+ years since then and the world has changed dramatically. I'm quite concerned that if the current international structure isn't flexible enough to bend and accommodate the pressure those changes, its going to break like an earthquake fault and we could very well have a WW3 scenario on our hands.
> > Some is immutable, some isn't

OCaml and F# are two examples of functional languages with freely supported mutable data types. So maybe what I said is "wrong" about your personal idea of what FP is.

But it's clearly not "wrong" about the fact some people see immutability as optional for FP, which is the very point I'm making.

>Corruption fuelling illegal fishing

>[Argentine journalist Roberto Maturana] says that in Argentina, these arrangements are facilitated by corrupt officials at the government sub-department of fishing, responsible for granting fishing licenses. ‘Often officials will issue an Argentine license to two different Chinese boats. So whilst one is in port, the other will be out fishing’.

Given Argentina's corruption problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Argentina), and China's fishing agenda (https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/11/30/china-beijing-fishing-a...
), it would be a surprise if corruption was not happening.
Do you have a citation for "object-based" as a separate paradigm? The oldest reference I can find to that term is in the C2 Wiki, where it describes not a paradigm, but a pattern for approximating OO (including inheritance) in a procedural language without OO features[0]:

> Programming using [abstract data types] is also known as object-based programming. Even though ADTs do not directly support inheritance and polymorphism, these concepts can be layered on top of a ADT implementation with some minor effort. In other words all important OOP concepts can be implemented in OBP.

> South Korean, Spanish, and Taiwanese vessels conducted 26 percent of estimated fishing activity in the study with nearly 200 vessels. Almost “90 percent of the Spanish vessels that fished along Argentina’s national waters appeared to turn off their public tracking devices at least once, and Spanish vessels spent nearly twice as much time with AIS devices off as they did visibly fishing,” according to the report.

If power imbalance is the main issue here, surely something can be done about the other 1/3 at least?
