Nope, is more like a "Vitual public network" maker.
Peer links are encrypted, each peer has its own key, but DHT and routing is not obfuscated. It exposes virtual network interfaces with an IPV6 address per node. You can use common software on it.

"Magic VPN" or "Magic E2EE LAN" kinda IPSEC for commoners, depends on how you config it.
Now that is an interesting theory. Makes a lot of sense.
I guess we should stop calling them cryptocurrencies because they are not used as currencies as USD or Euro are. We should call them fungible tokens since we already have non fungible tokens thing. Fungible tokens such as Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh cards which we trade and exchange for fun and profit.
I don't know any but it should be possible in theory.

It's difficult to imagine how someone would go about suing a DAO. Who would they sue? There is no legal entity to represent a DAO, all the rules of the business are defined in the code, the participants are all in different countries and they're not necessarily owners of the DAO (the DAO is autonomous; it owns itself), DAO members don't even have any legal agreements with each other and they might even be anonymous.
It's fair to point out because people not in finance colloquially think of "bank president" as leader, not as "not leader, and not even actual president of the whole bank."

As for the influence of a Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis president, it's complicated. They're appointed by the board of directors of the Minneapolis Fed, and the directors are elected by the member banks — it's not a top-down process. To give perspective on size, the Minneapolis Fed has around $40 billion in assets, compared to the Fed's total of $8 trillion.

There's way more that also matters, but the Minneapolis Fed's president is nowhere near Jerome Powell in influence.
Like learning guitar - the trick is motivating yourself and making small investments by figuring out how to enjoy tiny projects that slowly get you to this level of skill/knowledge.

This example uses HTML Canvas, so you could look up some tutorials and start there. At first, programming visually when you've only done API stuff is a whole new world, but it makes a lot of sense with some practice.

I found a tutorial which is probably along the lines you'd want to go down, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm1QtePAYTM
Shouldn't the article be called "We can undo better" :D
If a company makes a lot of money, does that mean every employee is responsible for generating the money they made? Is it possible to make a lot of money with not a lot of employees? Does Amazon make less money when employees take a lot of PTO?

I'll add 90% was hyperbole.
Some people had the norms change out from under them. In the past the societal norm was that Women were supposed to be shy and demure and pretend to be uninterested in sex. The men were supposed to take charge and "conquer".

Nowadays we know this is dumb and causes tons of unwanted harassment. People changed and made the world a better place, which was great. Then we went back and started prosecuting people for doing what they were told they were supposed to be doing at the time. This is why we have grandfather clauses in the law.

The difference between Sexual Harassment and Flirting is if the other person is into it.
IDK, literal definition of Ponzi or pyramid says it does require "bigger fools" plain and simple.

You seem to be saying that the "too good to be true fund manager is hiding a Ponzi" doesn't require fools, because the Ponzi is well hidden. Hidden Ponzi is still a Ponzi, hiding it is a (another) financial crime; and "too good to be true" is still magnet to fools. The last customers will still eventually take the fall, that's the structure of a Ponzi whether they know it or not.

None of this is relevant; You're talking about how not all quadrupeds are horses, the issue is if all these horses are quadrupeds. These coins continued rise in value (without anything underlying) while relying on "Bigger Fool Theory" is an example of a Ponzi and a fraud.

> Life involves suffering of some kind for every living thing on this planet. It's another one of those inescapable facts.

So when plants consciously grow edible parts to themselves in exchange for seed dispersal, are they suffering? Do they suffer when they drop leaves every autumn?
I'm familiar with Ordinary Men and also with Hitler's Willing Executioners and I think they prove my point.

> what does (and doesn't) happen to them if they don't

This is key. What happens if they didn't follow orders? It turns out that... pretty much nothing. You could get away with not following orders. So those who did anyway, murdered, tortured and raped, are monsters in my eyes. Their lives weren't even in immediate danger!

> I think that most of us like to think we would be the moral exception, it offers some mental comfort, but it's far more likely that we won't.

If you think you would break down and commit rape, torture and murder, then I'm sorry for you. I'm nothing like you then, and most decent people aren't either.

I'm not naive: I know there's a lot of behavior people will engage in under extreme conditions -- I can admit cannibalism, robbery, violence and lots of things unacceptable in normal society -- but there IS a line, and torture and rape are way beyond that line. I'm willing to admit under exceptional duress I'd betray my country and my friends. I can see myself being forced to shoot another human being "or else". What I cannot absolutely accept from you or anybody else is to claim "well, if I'm threatened with torture or death then I can break and be willing to rape women and crush their babies". I'm sorry but I cannot, and if you think you would, I hope I never meet you in person: you terrify me.

If it comes to a point where someone tells me "unless you rape this child, I'll do the same to your children" then I might as well accept we're all doomed and it's beyond anything I can do. I won't commit rape, period.

Note we're discussing the Trawniki men in this context. Read about what they did before claiming everyone in their position would do the same. These were really scum, the worst of the worst.
I think OP is referring to the spectacle that is collegiate football/basketball/baseball; not that there won't be these teams, they just won't be multi-billion dollar enterprises.

People must have very different performance requirements than me. I've run 10 on nothing but HDD for years now with no issues. Of course, I also avoid electron apps, modify Firefox so it doesn't eat memory like an addict on a bender, and generally keep bloat off my system. But Windows, basic Multimedia programs and games all seem to run fine. It's probably not cutting edge, but I don't feel like it's dragging.
You don't have to go into politics to be cancelled. You just need any kind of notoriety.
good, less market for vehicles means less people selling them etc. Then we can sooner get on to the real business of banning them altogether.
We are only going to get more distracted in them and they only cut into our online/connectability anyways, so a few generations from now will move on
How does Dash compare to Streamlit?
If you don’t mind me asking, did you grow up in Canada? When you’re saying that Canada is racist do you have any experiences of living in other countries to compare with? Can you point out specific examples of Canada being a racist country? Nowhere is perfect, but allow me to say that Canada (and even the US for that matter) are vastly less racist compared to many places. I can see someone who grew up with different experiences be bewildered by the assertion.

Do you not find it ironic that an immigrant non-white professor is being criticized by mostly white Canadians for her views and different experiences? Actually yeah maybe Canada is racist after all.
Right. You shouldn't "just" skip those meetings. You should skip those meetings.

As in, you should communicate with the organizer and give your reason for the meeting not being a good use of your time -- or rather, not a good use of the company's money that is paying for your time to be in the meeting rather than doing something else.

If the meeting really is overly broad, then the organizer probably won't really care; they invited everyone who they thought might need to be involved, and from their standpoint it's better to overinvite than underinvite. If you point out that you're extra, then you're taking the potential work to figure that out off of their hands.

In the best case, they'll reconsider the invite list and/or scope of the meeting. In the worst case, they'll fire you. In which case there's a decent chance that it was actually the best case, but you couldn't recognize it at the time.

But I suspect that it's a lot more common for the outcome to be "uh, ok, thanks for letting me know."
> UBI could be a solution but has its own drawbacks. Progressive taxation without cliffs is another possible solution.

You mean with no public support? Because UBI is social support without cliffs, and typically paired with progressive taxation. So if you mean progressive taxation with social support and no cliffs, that's not an alternative to UBI so much as a long-winded description of UBI.

> That is, you pay higher taxes but only from the amount above some threshold. That way, only the derivative of the tax rate has cliffs.

That's (ignoring things like the injection of means-tested welfare into the tax system via EITC) progressive taxation and tax bracket marginal rates work normally. UBI is just adding public benefits in without introducing cliffs.

Pivot away from the model that has made you great. What could go wrong.
A reminder that it's OK to not take sides and just support your friends. Maybe they did something bad, but we all make some serious errors in judgement.

One of my friends was not cancelled but shunned by a lot of people. Not sure exactly why; it was probably a lot of minor stuff that added up.

I just asked him straight: "did you do anything bad enough that I shouldn't be friends with you?". He said "no" and we moved on.

Cancelling or shunning is usually not the right punishment even if someone does something pretty bad. Unless someone who is a cultural model (e.g. CEO), and just can't do their job any more, cancelling doesn't really solve a problem. It just makes people hypersensitive, politically-correct, and quiet. That's not a healthy environment.
These pile-ons have transformed journalists from 'news people' who might have an opinion now and again - to 'mob leaders who think they are in control and have moral impetus'.

Couple that with an actually dangerous president (that is not a political statement), and a cop who murders someone in plain daylight, with an underlying pandemic and you have 3 of the dark horsemen right there.

I believe Dorsey revels in this part of it and I don't like him for that. Zuck seems to be more interested in just getting people to watch ads, which is bad, but not the same thing.

I grew up respecting journalism, and I think it's an important industry, like the invisible 5th pillar of government ... but I just assume everything I read is hugely biased to the point of lacking in credibility.
Not necessarily IMO. Wealth is a function of assets, liabilities, income, and other factors. There are plenty of people with high salaries who I wouldn’t consider wealthy by any stretch.
Who is taking anything for free? Do you think people go read through the patent database to get product ideas? If I create a product and bring it to market without any knowledge of your patent, why should I pay you just because you invented it earlier and then sat on it?
> Regardless of field, you probably shouldn't get a PhD. (Disclaimer: I'm a professor.)

Depends on the field, doesn't it? Some fields, like History, don't open any opportunities other than academia. Other fields, like engineering or medicine, basically lets the student practice their field in industry and commerce.

If studying a certain field means that the only thing you can do is teach that field, then that's a pretty sure way to go into poverty.

It’s also way simpler to just pull everything in and manipulate it in Pandas, if your data is not pristine from the get-go.
For me, what makes Linux a better administration experience is the ability to backup and move configuration. In Linux it's all files. In Windows? Who knows. It's registry entries, files spread across hidden directories and god knows what.
This is better than giving people free bus passes[1].

It's too bad that home-ec and shop were closed in many schools and either defunded or replaced by other less impactful classes.

These things impact the long term finances of many young people, many more than other niche classes would. This is probably more beneficial than a second language very few put to use.

If $100,000/yr millennials can't balance their books[1]... then how can people of lesser means balance theirs?

Maybe the curriculum can simulate someone earning a paycheck and making payments, etc. Each week's lesson would be be a new financial month. I guess having some sort of software to keep track of each student's fictional finances would be cool, but since this is the education sector, there is probably just none to bad such software.

I hope they also teach the kids that "stonks" and crypto are no better than gambling. There should be a fictional Lamborghini dealership in this software, to teach the kids that buying a super expensive car is a waste of money.

Hah, writing this makes me wonder why I am lusting for an Alfa Romeo Giulia...
I think "ghosting" is also used when one person breaks off a conversation, but the other person continues the conversation despite the conversation being broken off. At that point, an obnoxiously persistent person may conclude that that are being ghosted, rather than noticing that the conversation was over.

From his apology:

“I preyed on them. I ceaselessly hit on them. I pressured them into sex. I got too drunk and did all manner of dumb things. Yes, I was one of those shitty, creepy sexual predators you hear about.”

I do not get the impression that he apologized for having sex with people while also being guilty of being prominent in his industry. I’m not entirely clear how “any sex with a celebrity is rape” is a salient point here.
Hey man - be careful reading stuff alright? Probably best to just take a breather from reading stuff about yourself, it can't feel good. Humans weren't designed to be yelled at by more people than you can fit in a room.
Heh, I'd say at least Apple is differentiating...

Google:

GMail -> Let's sell some ads

Android -> Let's sell some ads

Android Auto -> How can we put ads in cars?

YouTube -> How can we show people more video ads?

Search -> Let's sell some ads.

Google Music -> Did this sell enough ads? If not lets rebrand it and try to sell more ads.

etc.

Anyway, not a slight against Google, but you can do this with any large company probably. I'm not sure how meaningful it is.
The browser is secure "to begin with" because it is designed to adapt to the moving threat landscape of the Web. Attackers aren't static; we don't want to their targets to be static either. A browser that doesn't adapt rapidly, dies.
I think design plays a part too. They want something that looks well integrated into the interior design language.
ya, I think it is a combo of salary + behaviours that build wealth, combined with having some idea about what you want from your brief time on this planet.
When I upgraded from 7 to 10 I had an SSD in my machine but was never given an option to install 10 to the SSD. It requires some contortions to get physical install media and then start over on a new install on the SSD instead of doing any kind of convenient system migration.

The "choice" I made was back in 2009 when I installed 7 to an HDD, which seems like a reasonable choice.
Auto debt is kind of a halfway between mortgage debt and personal debt. Like mortgages, you're acquiring a long-lived asset for the debt. However, autos famously have a very steep initial depreciation that makes me suspect that many people with auto loans are underwater--and an underwater auto loan is going to be like credit card debt in that it's buying more than you can afford.

I vacillated as to whether or not to include it as a separate category, but ultimately I think it's reasonable to consider them as personal debt insofar as they contribute to a debt epidemic.
> Or you know, just don't be a creep and treat women like human beings and you'll be fine?

You don't understand.

When I interact with people, I don't see race/color/age/sex. I'm just focused on the problem at hand. I also have a deep compassion for people in general.

What I'm worried about is saying or doing the wrong thing due to a lapse in judgement in the moment.

I'll give you an example. I love fashion. At a previous company it was all guys. When a guy came to work and was wearing new shoes, I'd notice, and compliment the shoes. Or if they were wearing a new shirt I might say that it "brings out your X". I'm straight so there's nothing sexual here. I just think fashion is cool. It's a hobby of mine.

Making any comments about female coworker fashion terrifies me. What if I say something that's perceived as a sexual advance? Don't forget that men often disguise sexual advances as seemingly innocent compliments. It's a big gray area.

> If you're giving negative feedback because they did something wrong/substandard work, you document it and move on. If there are questions later, you refer back. I've literally never had this be a problem.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my post, but my point is that I have an irrational fear.

I'd much rather sacrifice a little bit of professional perception of skill to not mess around in an area I'm very paranoid about.

> I'm not sure why talking about your personal life would be grounds for issues unless you decided to talk about your bedroom, politics, or religion. "I went hiking on X trail this weekend, it was pretty cool" isn't going to get you called into HR.

Irrationally, I worry that I'll get to comfortable and mention something that, to me, is obviously not "-ist" but comes off that way.
Same here. I use it on every other website and it's just great.
That's a cool idea, but I don't think I can present much progress in just 2 weeks.
His full apology on twitter:

> I’m sorry.

> l was terrible to women.

> I preyed on them. I ceaselessly hit on them. I pressured them into sex. I got too drunk and did all manner of dumb things. Yes, I was one of those shitty, creepy sexual predators you hear about.

> I was fucking awful.

> I am deeply sorry for everything I did. I apologize for the selfish, cruel, insensitive way I acted. It's no way for anyone to act. I'm so sorry.

> Women deserve better than selfish assholes like I was at those industry events. Everyone there deserves respect. They should be professional environments. They should be safe environments. I violated that. time and time again.

> I'm sorry, I'm sorry to everyone I hurt. I'm sorry to everyone I let down, I'm sorry to everyone.

> I want to thank the peers and friends who called me out for my bad behavior. Without people doing what you do, this sort of behavior would never even be acknowledged, much less changed. We need more people like you who are brave enough to stand up for what's right.

> I was selfish and scared and delayed a public apology for far too long. Private apologies are not enough in a situation like this. So here we are. finally. I wish that I could educate my younger self and snap him out of his self-centered hot-shot ego-trip.

> I want you to know that lacknowledge what happened, I am ashamed, and I want to find ways to repair as much damage as is possible. I will keep putting in the work I will not run. and I will sit with my shame and not turn away from it.

> I’m sorry,

the cells that makeup those structures suffer the consequences of being sacrificed but the genes of that being have "decided" that the cost is worthwhile.
I agree with your (and others on this post) assertion that apologizing doesn't seem to help.

But I'm not convinced that waiting silently for things to blow over actually works. Are there any examples of this?
Something is screwy with the dark-mode CSS.

> It was just my boss trying to pressure me to work 50 hours per week during the holidays instead of the typical 60.

I'm not following.

Is this sarcasm/humor? Why would your boss put you on a PIP to pressure you to work LESS?
Before the Web 2.0 internet made people’s real names so public, it was in fact quite difficult for things many people did to affect their employment. Your employer simply wouldn’t have been aware of how you were acting somewhere else outside their direct purview. Now, however, if an opponent knows that you are employed at X, they can bring pressure on X to fire you in an extremely public way, such that your employer will buckle to the social pressure lest it affect their bottom line. That simply would not have happened so often prior to about 2007 at least.
Okay, so beliefs are uncorrelated with action. In no way does that suggest that there is a tradeoff, and if anything, is evidence for my hypothesis - people are happy to talk about beliefs without any of that translating into real world action.

Talking about beliefs in one way only trades off with talking about those beliefs in another way.
I was friends with quite a few D1 athletes when I was at college. Their sports took up so much of their time that they were only able to put minimum effort into academics. In fact, the coaches and staff would help guid them into known easy classes, so they would be able to maintain their grades while working 40+ hours a week in their sport.

It would make so much more sense for them to just hold off on school, go try to make it as a professional athlete, and then go back to school if it didn’t work.

No other country ties sports and athletics like the US does. Good soccer players in other countries sign contract at 10 years old, and play for the academy while getting paid.
