Oh cool, so books and websites in general are “bad” now.
I would guess naive, because I have had the same issue in the past. Employees do not all feel the need to be our friends, and it is not realistic to believe they will become such. While it’s important to get along with your coworkers, it should never be necessary that they “like” you. Personally, I like everyone at work that is a competent and dedicated worker; a rising tide floats all boats. Want to make friends with me at work? Be part of a team that consistently exceeds my expectations.

The biggest advantage of bash over scripts is parallelism. It's not bad at job control, and if you write your scripts so they communicate well with streams, you can scale them up with a little bit of bash, xargs -P, parallel, etc.
The keeping information private one is interesting, and more complex than it looks. I know of a case of someone who was having problems with NHS, requested her records, found some very nasty comments, complained, had her care switched to another team, and did so much better.
I have recently come up with a model that has been useful to me for thinking about thinking.

It involves the realization that different brain regions must communicate, but also contain their own representation of reality.

Partial thought precursors echo back and forth between these regions, with each region amplifying or dampening parts of the idea that it recognizes as valid.

When multiple brain regions begin to agree on its validity to a high level, the aha moment occurs.

This model has some characteristics of waveform collapse, and discrete task specific neural networks. When multiple tasks specific networks arrive at consensus that a model matches experience, the proto-idea forms. This proto-idea can then be evaluated, and inspected. New scenarios are reflected off this new idea, to see if it continues to make sense.

Converting an idea into words makes it useful to others, and allows sharing of ideas. This process requires refinement by echoing back and forth with the proto-idea until the words match it's shape.

In order for these words to be understood effectively, they need to make sense to the brains that are receiving them. That means the words chosen need to activate multiple brain regions that the listener may use to evaluate this new idea and have the aha moment themselves.

This process is easier when the 2 brains have many shared experiences to draw on, or communication is bi-directional to allow message refinement.

The US has overthrown multiple democratic governments to get what it wants. I personally prefer China's blatant disregard for the rules over the United State's efforts to forcibly rewrite the rules in their favor.
'We may never know where the virus came from but evidence still suggests nature'
What I mean is that there are well established laws and case law but they consistently introduce contradicting laws rather than change the law at the higher level (similar to abortion restrictions for other groups). For example, things like cities ignoring state level preemption. Or using the Trayvon Martin case as a talking point against stand your ground laws even though that law was not invoked as his defense (just standard self defense).

On a side note, why would proliferation of firearms be the opposite of modern society? There are other modern countries with firearms. And by proliferation do you mean simply higher total numbers or more widespread?
the first link predates the movie and isn't really the same thing. IIRC they don't edit babies in the movie.

(you're arguing with a biologist who worked in this field, I'm making the point that the movie has not fundamentally come true, even if there are some details are the edges that resemble it).
Here in Melbourne Australia, lots is being done to remove right turns (we drive on the left here) at the busiest intersections.

Several "P turns" [1,2] have been introduced in the most congested areas, in which you need to go straight through the intersection, then wait to do a U-turn at a designated place, then turn left into the road you wanted to turn right into (or vice versa if you're coming from the other direction).

And because we have trams (streetcars), many intersections with trams have long had "hook turns" [3], signed as "right turn from left only", in which to turn right you must first pull over to the left to clear the lanes in your direction, wait for the lights to turn green in the road you're entering, then turn right. (This is not exactly eliminating right turns but it's a much safer and less disruptive way of doing them).

It all works well when you understand it, but it confuses the hell out of visitors.

Bitcoin uses a SHA-256 hash algo, you definitely don't need specialized hardware to compute SHA-256 hashes. Yes, the competitive miners have ASICs which get you many more hashes per joule, but you can definitely rent hashing power that could 51% attack BTC without renting ASICs, it would just cost you more than if you could easily rent the most competitive hardware (obviously).
I hope this gets some upvotes because I would love to see some discussion of what this would entail and how feasible it is.
My mixer is a small Behringer QX1002USB. Two mic inputs, parametric EQ and one-knob compressors. You can crank them and get that radio host imposing bassy voice, if you want.

It's amazingly good and versatile for such an inexpensive piece of gear.
Project 64 is pretty dated, though. Surprisingly, it looks like it's now open source, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't always the case, and it sat unimproved for several years. Someone can correct me on this, but that's my understanding. (that isn't to say there wasn't a time where PJ64 was hands down the best N64 emulator)

Mupen64plus, in my experience, has been far superior to PJ64 for a long time. These days the emulators have come along enough that the differences can be somewhat trivial, but a decade ago Mupen64plus ran better for me on lower-end hardware and had way fewer idiosyncrasies than PJ64.

Comparison:

Nevertheless, it wouldn't surprise me if Paper Mario ran better through Wii U Virtual Console on Dolphin than through Mupen64plus! ;)
What's wrong with adopting a model that works? It's not like IBM was trying to make it accessible in the first place.
Some areas are getting destroyed but other countries are very good at managing their fisheries, England, Norway, Australia, Canada and more will be producing wild fish ongoing I would expect.

There definitely seems the need for some international waters rules to be agreed on, but given today's politics it seems unlikely the major powers would approach that with goodwill.
> It’s true that, especially with Scrum and similar processes with timeboxed work cycles, teams tend to end up using “stories” that aren’t real user stories, but units of work

These are called "enabler stories", and they will be a part of any sufficiently large project. The principles of the Agile Manifesto, or any other grand pronouncements about the relationship between developer and user/customer, are not why your company went Agile. Measurability and trackability with respect to OKRs is.
Yes, in terms of Dolphin's performance today, I don't doubt it. There are probably many more optimisations that can be made: Dolphin's AArch64 JIT is still pretty incomplete and inefficient compared to the x86-64 JIT, for example.

My point is in theory, given enough time and effort, the Pi 4 should have more than enough power to emulate a 20-year old device. I'd argue that it's certainly not "way way too weak" as the reply above suggested.
This is exactly right, and it is exactly what makes quantum mechanics and relativity so hard to wrap your brain around because by the time you get around to learning them you have almost certainly deeply internalized a classical model of the world. It's just obvious that classical mechanics is "correct", that the world consists of objects embedded in a three-dimensional space that exist in specific places at specific times, and even talking about a world where this is not true doesn't even make sense, let alone qualify as a viable candidate for actual truth.

It is equally "obvious" that the heavens are governed by different laws of physics than the earth, because things on earth fall down if unsupported and naturally come to rest and things in the heavens don't. And of course all of these things are equally wrong.

One can and should apply the same lesson to social and political statements. For example, people get hung up on arguing about things like whether or not "God exists" as if they were arguing about a question of objective fact when actually what they are arguing about is the meaning of the words "God" and "exists."

I wrote a longer take on all this about six years ago:

Even if you cannot conveniently rent the required hardware from a provider, it still seems rather concerning that behemoths like Ethereum could be brought down rather easily with an investment of a few million dollars (especially by government actors for example).

Perhaps I misunderstand the table in the article or the impact of a 51% attack however.
You could replace cars with public transport rather than just moving the cars. If you don't want to build too much infrastructure then buses and bus lanes work well.
That was my first instinct as well.

Biking is not that susceptible to weather imho. When it rains you can wear a rain coat and rain trousers. When it's cold you can wear any outdoor jacket (gore tex is great even if maybe not healthy). When it snows you have to work a bit harder. When there is ice you can use tires with spikes for great grip. The worst is hot weather, since you can only shed so much clothing. An ebike helps here, but that reduces the health benefits.

Thanks for the link, I was going to say how much flatter Florida is, but didn't have proof. From east to west across the state, elevation only changes like 80ft. Whereas Kansas is in the thousands.

However, because of all the development everywhere you look, I can see visibility being much better in the plains states.
Hacker News runs on FreeBSD and Arc, Arc being a super obscure Lisp dialect that I can't imagine being used in production anywhere else (for sure not in a place with a similar visibility or impact).

You are right.

In fact, it’s very rare come across black color in Hindu religious ceremonies. Black represents inauspicious and evil. Of course there are a few gods who are black colored such as “shani”, “Kaali” (black, literal meaning), Yama (God of death). Most of them have something dark/negative about them but aren’t inherently evil.

A quick google search shows he has about 1B of ETH in his public address. About 333K ETH if you want the coin amount.
When it comes down to tolerating sexual harassment versus renaming your primary git branch, I know which side I’m supporting.
I’d guess given technology advances you’d expect prices to go down, so the fact that they stay flat is actually indicating that fish are becoming harder to find. Similar to how if the price of something stays the same then it’s becoming cheaper because of inflation.

Also, fish are not a long term investment. The price only depends on how hard they are to find combined with demand to eat them sometime soon. If you could buy a fish now with the expectation of selling it later when stocks dry up then I think you’d see a lot more upward pressure.
As some point out this is based on the price of buying hashing power from NiceHash, which in case of Ethereum can at most cover 7% of Ethereums hashing power. And costs are different if you need to buy/invest in the hardware to pull a 51% attack furthermore even if you "could just rent more" you would be adding hashing power to the Ethereum network increasing when 51% is hit as you don't replace hashing power, and then the more you buy the more "pricey" hashing power becomes... that is if you can even get the required amount of hashing power in current economics. (E.g. if Etherums current hashing power is 100 then you need >50 hashing power, but you need to get >50 hashing power OF that 100 hashing power if you just add 50 hashing power you now have a total hashing power of 150 and as such need 75. So if you control 0 of the current hashing power and have no way to reduce that you need to add >100% of the hashing power to controll >50% of the final hashing power...).

The 51% attacks only allow double spend attacks, you can't "steal" money and the attacks sooner or later will be noticed and might be reversed.

Then even if you run a 51% attack it's still a crime in more or less any country and controlling 51% of hashing power and staying truly anonymous isn't easy, given how much electricity and hardware PoW consumes. (But it's viable, through maybe only if you are state backed.)

The most feasible way to pull of a 51% attack on a larger network IMHO is by hacking multiple hashing pools.

Through like the article mentions it's a completely different thing for smaller networks. It also shows nicely why you need increasingly more hashing power the more value moves through your network (it's a counter argument to people defending PoW by saying you could just do more transactions per block).

It's also why some new chains which use PoS start out with "a farming game" where people already "stack" money before the crypto currency is worth any money (and get money based on that when "it goes live"). Because with that you can start with a already reasonable secure system.

> I'm not able parse what it tries to say.

1. Small crypto currencies are not so secure (if not build on another chain).

2. PoW is not as grate as some people make it out to be (IMHO PoW a terribly solution but it probably was the best terrible solution when Bitcoin was made).

3. And I would add: PoW based Currencies hashing cost and marked value needs to be in balance. (For PoS it's the stacked amount and marked value, which is IMHO easier to archive as it doesn't require additional factors like access to hardware and cheap electricity.)
Agreed. Done!
So because it's similar to something we had in the past it's supposed to be a bad thing? Or the fact that people did something else in between is supposed to be a bad thing? (Also, obviously many people in the industry know about mainframes, memory is not the issue)
If it’s mapped as `highway`=something in OpenSteetMap it will show up on this site ;)
There seem to be a lot of low hanging fruits to characterize the phenomenon, so I would not try to simulate the process yet. Dependence of the amount of produced gases on the concentration and type of salt, the temperature, radio frequency, input power seem very easy to check if the necessary equipment is available. Pick a few parameters and hand the task over to a bachelor/master student or maybe research assistant and see what results come out.

"Effects of different parameters on the efficiency of electrode-less water splitting", sounds like an acceptable topic for a bachelor thesis for example ;)
> the API is also described as an OpenAPI.

The response formats are not described so not very useful.
It seems to be purely an issue of computing power, not feasibility. That’s why it’s conceivable that future advances would make it feasible.

Like if in 1950 you looked at a computer and thought “there’s no way to make realistic 3D graphics”.
Exactly Zero of anything you have just said negates the point that was made.

Let's reiterate:

> Here's what it says in the Constitution:

> "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises"

> Crystal clear.

Anything that is not explicitly defined in the Constitution is certainly left up to the interpretation and decisions (within their constitutional authorizations) of the three branches of government.

However, anything that is explicit in the constitution cannot be overturned without a constitutional amendment.

Hopefully that clears things up for you.
Sure, it was iron overload [1]. I thought I could "eat like an adult" there and catch up on leafy greens which I always hated. But it turns out I hated them because my body can't process out iron. It kinda turned on its head my idea of "trying to be healthy" which is why I didn't mention the specific thing.

It's not just convincing someone to buy from you - there has to be enough volume available on exchanges to fulfill your order. I posit this is the real reason why nobody has tried attacking low difficulty coins. You probably wouldn't be able to sell off enough coins to justify the total attack cost. Not to mention the coins have to actually be listed on an exchange in the first place, and whatever exchanges they are listed on have to be legally available within your country or else the government will steal your profits and throw you in jail anyways. And the exchanges have to be legitimate enough for you to consider doing business with them or else you'll get Mt. Gox'd ;)
I suspect there are many people who consider it likely, felt silenced, and are now feeling vindicated.

While I obviously don't have hard evidence, the constant coverups make me consider the lab leak theory rather likely. The WHO inquiry seemed to conclude that they have no clue, but they were very adamant that it definitely wasn't a lab leak, with no supporting evidence. The whole thing reeked like an attempt to appease China to possibly get some more access.
Why is Monero not on the list?
One thing to remember about NYC's crazy tolls and congestion pricing plans is that there are not many reasons why visitors should need to drive in. There's NJTransit, PATH, light rail to Hudson valley and CT, LIRR, Amtrak, so many regional bus routes and frequent shuttles to EWR and other popular places, where most of these have park-and-ride options. And then of course once in the city there are subway and buses. Other cities that want to copy the car-discouraging policies should think about what the alternatives are.
According to Google, 3G is generally limited to 3Mbps in practice (7Mbps in theory) so I think you might be getting lucky
>In my recollection, the very first "politicization" I heard of Covid's origins were politicians insisting that the virus was man-made.

I'd like to see some evidence that politicians insisted it was man-made instead of trusting your recollection. If the virus had lab origins in a lab specifically performing "gain of function" research, that's quite a coincidence that might even suggest those politicians were correct (although I would concede it may have certainly been irresponsible).

Additionally, I expect polemics and politicization from politicians. It is their nature. But I'm not supposed to get it from the media, from the CDC, from the technocrats, and from the "fact checkers". But their rhetoric was political and their actions to shut down and shout down wrongthink was wrong (and now can be seen as having specious justification).
