There are some methods if you have control of the amplitude and shape of the sound waves.

One way to break a speaker is called "slamming" which is basically making the edge of the speaker cone slam into the speaker box or grill. This is why higher quality speakers typically use foam on the outer edge instead of shaping the paper. If you've ever seen old car speakers that were worn and torn around the edge of the cone, that's almost always what happened to them.

Banging is a similar method where the speaker gets over-extended in the negative direction so that parts of the cone continually impact the speaker cage or the coil itself. Cheap speakers are the higher risk, since even standard quality speakers tend to be purposely shaped to avoid this. I've abused a lot of speakers in my time (guitar player!) and I've never seen it happen.

Both slamming and banging are problems caused by the audio wave's zero-crossing being too high or too low, but not actually at zero volts, where the speaker should be at rest. So the ambient sound from them don't have to sound "full blast" to cause the damage.

The more obvious and easily accomplished method to ruin a speaker is to maximally extend both positively and negatively a rapid square wave. A treble speaker (tweeter) should be able to do this relatively safely, and it'll definitely break your ears before it breaks the speaker. But the larger the speaker is, the less likely it will be able handle the rapid strong voltage spikes. Sub-woofers aren't designed at all to handle it. As long as the frequency stays low enough, cheap (aka non-professional) crossover filters won't usually block them. You know when you are approaching the danger point when your sub-woofer makes an obvious clicking thud sound. Sometimes when that's happening accidentally, you'll hear harmonics so the low hum will sound like it is distorted and harmonized - kinda like the sound of a muscle car with two or more exhausts.

8-bit music gets its iconic sound because although the tones are initially coded as square waves, the rising and lowering of the voltage isn't fast enough to output true square waves to the speaker, and won't likely ruin them even at high volumes. That gives them that somewhat softened sound that is instantly recognizable as "chip tune", versus what would be more like the jarring X "WRONG!" tone you hear in some game shows, or a nasty alarm clock.

Most soundcards won't allow it, but if you can push a positive-only or negative-only voltage, you will overheat the coil. It was certainly possible when PeeCees used to have a built-in buzzer before piezos were common (Piezos can be pulled apart without breaking anything, so they avoid a lot of these issues). But the sound card usually abstracts that away. An amplifier with a short circuit can easily do it, but the kernel isn't going to make that happen.

Then again, global warming is going to flood huge coastal areas, killing or displacing millions, which is a pretty uncool thing we're doing to ourselves, so maybe Second Moon will counter-act that? There's literally no way of knowing until we try. And worst case scenario, we ruin a bunch of earth and we've got a second moon to move to. Its a win-win.
You can study all you want, and any of the major text books on Options/BS-M will give you a primer. But, my best piece of advice: open a paper trading account and start running some options positions. Pick a few underlyings but make sure they're all different: 1x single name, 1x index, 1x commods/fx.

Then using what you've learned in your textbook, just keep your book hedged, without any opinion. Watch how your greeks change, and how that corresponds with your risk and pnl. Most people only really end up learning on the job. I didn't "get" options until I started running some risk and making some money. But that only happened when I first started working.

I've been writing some UI widgets, and I bet this is caused by redrawing the widgets every time the mouse moves. I've not used Big Sur so I don't know if this is the case, but if they added highlights on mouseover, the easy way to make that work is redraw on every mouse move, just in case the mouse entered or exited a control. The slightly harder way, of course, is to detect transitions and only redraw then.

I certainly hope you at least pay your coworkers the modicum of respect of getting vaccinated first [0].

There's a surprisingly large population in the tech community that want to follow your approach of "don't get vaccinated and hope everyone else does". I can respect that a bit if you at least want to continue to adhere to basic social distancing and pandemic safety guidelines.

If I do return to an office it would certainly only be for companies that require a vaccine before returning to an office.

Well you can read the Chainalysis report yourself, if you like (https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/2021-crypto-crime-repor...) and compare it to the UN's Office on Drugs and Crime (https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/money-laundering/overview.htm...). Chainalysis works with US law enforcement to track and eliminate illicit activity via cryptocurrency.

It turns out that illicit activity has dropped precipitously as a proportion of all cryptocurrency volume, and in reality proportionally less money is spent on crime with crypto than world fiat (0.34% in crypto via Chainalysis vs 2-5% in fiat via United Nations). On a pure cash basis, it's not even close ($10 billion in crypto, $1.6 - $4 trillion in fiat).

We definitely encourage you to check out our Discover page (https://live.hedgehog.app/discover), because the space has evolved a lot since 2014. From storage coins like Filecoin, Sia, and Storj; to oracles/prediction markets like Augur, Gnosis, and Chainlink; to cross-chain shims like ThorChain, Ark, or Polkadot.

We might be in the peak of inflated expectations, and the trough of disillusionment could be just ahead, but that doesn't mean that the plateau of productivity isn't right around the corner.

As others have said, PostGIS is a great option if supports everything in your use case. The GIN indexes in particular give you very fast bounding box lookups. You can also do shape intersection and other sophisticated things.

I recommend the Boundless Geo tutorial on PostGIS. It does a great job of teaching you about bounding box indexes and all the GIS functions and types.
You are right that ZKPPs are a type of ZKP. Wikipedia appears to disagree with us, but I maintain we're right for any reasonable definition of ZKP.

That said, this page is implicitly focused on ZK computational proofs for general computations. It's also fairly out of date at this point.

"- Build from source. This will always be a deeply niche thing to do. It's slow, inconvenient, and inaccessible except to nerds."

I prefer compiling from source to binary packages. For me it is neither slow, incovenient nor inaccessible.

Only with larger, more complex programs does compiling from source become a PITA.

The "solution" I take is to prefer smaller, less complex programs over larger, more complex ones.

If I cannot compile a program from source relatively quickly and easily, I do not voluntarily choose it as a program to use daily and depend on.

For compiling OS, I use NetBSD so perhaps I am spoiled because it is relatively easy to compile.

That said, I understand the value of reproducible builds and appreciate the work being done on such projects.

That's not even the same thing. That's like saying imagine Apple won't let you peel fruit with an iPad.

> Create Inequity for the Blind

I abhor this sentence.

Think about this, if you organize a 5k run with cash prizes, are you "creating inequity" for the people who can't run? Does this mean we should make it unlawful to organize events that promote sports, because some part of population can't take part in it?

If an application makes it easier for 99% of the people to vaccinate but does not make it easier for 1%, does it mean the application is bad?

Does existence of the application make it more difficult for the blind to vaccinate?

Also, think for a moment -- if everybody else vaccinates it also protects blind people, without having them to do anything.

Waiting for perfect solutions when a solution is needed is best way to paralyze any organization and have no solution at all.
Tie difference between select and epoll is just that select sets a bitmap of file descriptors, so if you are listening on 5000 sockets, you then have to scan the resulting bitmap (80 or so 64-bit ints) to find the active ones, while epoll gives you an event-like structure telling you something has happened on file descriptor N, which you can then go and check, without having to scan a bitmap. So that is more efficient if you have a lot (thousands) of active fd's. I don't remember for sure but select may actually have a limit of 1024 fd's or something like that. So epoll was preferred over select for high levels of concurrency, before io_uring arrived. But, select worked ok for the purpose and epoll was simply a refinement, not a game changer. Scanning a few hundred words of memory is not that slow, as it will all be cached anyway.

"Heck, you can't even hand a collection to a grader."

If coins and stamps are worth enough - and many are then you need to start treating your assets with respect. I would consider things like markings that show up under ultraviolet light or a microdot - things that don't affect the article. Get the marking(s) asserted in some way. Make the grader aware that you have taken steps. If the value is great enough, then you might pay out for a minder that follows the article throughout the process.

Perhaps there is a market for an intermediary service of some sort to do this job. Anyway, this has all been done before. You need to do a risk assessment on your stuff and protect yourself in proportion to the potential value of your things. Getting valuations done for any valuable thing is potentially problematic but I'm sure if you have a chat with, say, a jeweller they'll tell you how to get the job done safely.
> Calling public schools a welfare program disproportionately allocated to the poor seems like a stretch too.

It's not he's saying. He's saying that public schools should be considered part of the "welfare program". Which they probably should since public schools, like social security, are program that benefit society as a whole, which you can (or cannot) use depending on your personal situation.

Someone else notes that those program tend, on average, to mostly benefit poor people - which they probably should. But it's not systematic.

So I don't really see any taxonomy issues here.
For Australian jobs on Seek some enterprising redditor wrote a script to binary search over salary for a given position.

So, you give it a job ad, and it repeatedly changes the search criteria to give you an upper and lower bound on the ad. I've never needed to use it but thought it was neat.
That really depends on if India is able to successfully educate and/or provide useful skills training, health care, nutrition, and safety i.e. polish its "demographic diamonds". As well as maintain a healthy, competitive economy, rule of law, and respect for property rights - all of which creates an environment in which they can work hard and prosper.

There are countries with large young populations that struggle to make a decent living due to a lack of investment or opportunities.[1][2]

But that's just ordinary, natural human immunity. Your body naturally produces "thing-specific T-cells" for a large number of "not self" things it has encountered throughout your life, to defend you from them.

It's part of how your body's automatic anti-virus system works. It has a very clever system, where some cells learn to recognise foreign proteins.

There is no spike protein actually in these T cells. They are just trained to recognise spike protein, waiting to mobilise quickly to pretect you from it if it's detected in future.

Why would you not want that?

Do you have some evidence that your spike-specific T cells themselves cause harm, in a way that your other thing-specific T cells do not? (It's not impossible, but seems unlikely.)
Isn't suddenly being covered in urea a long established hazard of the trade for many insects?
Events just get put into a queue, and somewhere in the guts of the application there will be a loop that does:

while (stillRunning) {
event = getEventOrWait();
// handle event
}

(In macOS this is done inside [NSApp run], but Windows and Linux make the loop explicit.)

I think the 1000 Hz you are thinking of is the accuracy of the UI timers. Since you're just calling this in a loop, not waiting for a timer to fire, you can burn through a lot of events in one timeslice. And since most systems have multiple processors, it is reasonable for your game to be running continually, especially since modern OSes frequently prioritize certain kinds of programs (and a game might request prioritization if at all possible).
China beats US in patent filings for second straight year
The usual way I explain it is as a transfer of kinetic energy and momentum from the large body to the small one. The interaction is through gravity, rather than the mix of electrostatic, degeneracy, and strong/weak forces involved in collisions; but the equations are more or less the same.

(Usually textbooks use a baseball bouncing off a semi truck to illustrate.)
> The MOASS theory relies simply on retail investors buying and holding shares.

I should have been clear: I meant that in terms of options volumes (as was my lead into that claim about options volumes) that most retail are buying calls, as opposed to puts.

I have no doubt that in totality, most retail are just buying shares. But for those trading options, it is overwhelmingly calls.
Still definitely not worth it for something so small, though!
"As a buyer, you can be quite confident that the bag is authentic if the seller also owns the NFT, and you can verify that the NFT was indeed originally created by Hermès by looking up its public transaction history. "

???

No, you have to verify that 'the bag' you get actually matches the NFT 'certificate'. Which is 'the hard part' making NFT's pointless at least in that scneario.

But this:

"We are starting to see this valuation framework being applied to the equities market today, where price movements are dominated by narratives about where the price is going and what other people are willing to pay for it, "

is a huge underlying problem.

Investors actually do a job - they put money in things that work and remove them from things that don't.

If 'what works' is entirely just 'convincing others' than real productive output will fall.

In the mean time, regular investors are going to get crowded out by the hustlers, making for a very interesting time.

Just make sure not to buy a bag from someone else who thinks like you do. Or maybe just don't ask yourself if that might have happened. You'll have the pleasure of "knowing" you have a "real" bag despite lacking the cert, and you're not even ripping anyone off, since the girl you sold the "fake" bag to will also "know" she has a "real" bag.

I use gramps fairly extensively for some semi-serious genealogy work and love it. It is extremely flexible, while also trying to remain true to standards such as GEDCOM.

He raises a few good points, but also skirts around what might come to replace Linux. Everyone thought that Java was "past it's time" and "needed to die", but it's still here. Why? Because it has a surplus of functionality, users, programs and maintainers. Similarly, Linux can't die until the rest of the internet infrastructure it built comes down with it.
Why didn't they vote to change the union rules so they could negotiate their own salaries? In the US the screen actors' union, directors' union, and screenwriters' union don't have salary caps, only salary floors. Professional athletes the world over also have unions.

I could have added more context. In this case, I think the headline is not just bait, it serves as the thesis of the whole article and unless the reader is uncommonly critical of such things, the whole thing serves as an argument for answering "yes" to the posed question.
