On the other hand, if quinoa (for example) is being exported it means the farmers are making more money, otherwise they would just sell it domestically. The worldwide popularity of quinoa generates a net wealth transfer into the (historically poor) quinoa areas from outside.
Yes, this is how I explain my early days on computers to kids now. "The internet was an app you had to install"
That savings has to be worth the building of expensive infrastructure at altitude, which is unlikely to happen. Air density at 10k feet yields is only 25% less than sea-level, so you're not going to see substantial performance gains. It's much better to focus efforts on choosing a launch location as close to the equator as possible where you can shoot due East (to take advantage of Earth's rotation) without flying over-top of people. This will yield much greater energy savings. There's a good reason why the world's launch locations are where they are.
If it was developed in 1996, the patent protection would have expired by now. If the cost of production was "steady", then the question is why is a competitor not jumping in to make and sell something that would earn them a huge profit margin?
This kind of behavior inspired me to finally make the switch to full-time Linux eight years ago. I've tried Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and a handful of smaller distros. But with the Cinnamon desktop environment my day to day computing experience is truly enjoyable next to the constant slew of confirmation dialogs and dark patterns a Microsoft experience provides.

However - you're right. Whenever I want to play a video game, there's a 90% chance I have to use Windows to do it. So now I keep two computers - one for gaming, one for everything else. Each time I log into the gaming computer I'm reminded how much Windows sucks.

I just feel really bad for the average computer user who knows intuitively this is wrong but doesn't know how to do things like install linux or have the money to purchase an Apple machine.
Our food system is sure rigged to make us fat. But then, in my case, what was it that triggered the t2d? Was it the family genetics (both parents are t2d in their old age), the over abundance of sugar in the std American diet, the stress caused by abusive relationships (parents suck, plus ex wife made my life a living hell), or the adrenal tumor?

I’ll never know and I’m stuck with it.

If anything, the proliferation of ad tech junk and 15MB of various ad-related things is probably better than just that 1MB of only Google Ads scripts, no?

Or are we going to talk about how online advertising has been the economic backbone of the web? Not that I'm advocating for it, by hiding the true cost of things, publishers have brought this onto themselves really.

So no more ads? That's probably going to kill a lot of sites, whether they are contributing anything to mankind or not.
Not covered in this PDF but extremely important is the notion of substitution. This is the only computational operation of the lambda calculus, and is the reason why lambda calculus is Turing-complete. Substitution is also hard to get right, but here's how it would work with "fresh" variables[0]. Alternatively one may avoid names altogether and use de Bruijn indices[1], however there's a significant performance cost in doing so. See λ-calculus cooked four ways[2] for more information.

An IPv4 address isn't A.B.C.D though. That's just a shorthand way for us write it down because those chunks are easier for us to deal with. An IPv4 address is an unsigned 32 bit integer.

The address is not the real issue. An IPv4 header contains 32 bits for the source address and 32 bits for the destination address. That's what needed to be extended. IPv4 implementations expect the destination address to be 32 bits after the source address.

Any fix you can think of to extend the address fields in the header will fall into the situation of having an additional protocol. Because changing the v4 header and calling it a v4 header would probably get your packet dropped as bad. Or have it being sent to somewhere else. Or some other undefined behavior.

So your best option is to have it identify as a new version. Yes, v4 implementations will reject your packet, but that's what you want in this case.
Trademark treats this as a crime against the original producer. Pretending to be that producer to fool the consumer into buying your product is a crime against the buyer known as fraud. IANAL and I don't know whether in a legal environment with trademark that form of fraud is recognized as such, but it should be and I think it would be a superior solution to the problem trademark is meant to solve.

I'm building an open source Anki clone, and lemme tell you shit's surprisingly hard. Getting syncing working without resorting to uploading entire SQLite databases is nontrivial. You're basically doing multi-master database replication... but you gotta build it yourself (there's no easy way to sync sqlite with some serverside database (ignoring firebase/couchdb/pouchdb for various technical reasons)): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-master_replication

The lack of "worth-it" alternatives is due to the fact that there's no money in this market. Students are very unwilling to buy software, and if you use ads you end up like Quizlet. YC funded a startup in this area (Hickory) and they're... not doing well.

The main reason why everyone still uses Anki despite its issues is because it is still hands-down the best solution out there, despite all the bugs and clunkiness. There are a million and one spaced repetition systems out there, but Anki's plugin system and shared decks make for a very strong network effect.

If you're a med student, I don't recommend moving off Anki. The ecosystem there is too strong. If you're losing data, post in the /r/anki subreddit - Anki automatically generates backups and they'll walk you through restoring them.
It wasn't Amazon's fault; Toy stores had been declining well before it, with companies like KB toys going defunct in 2009. In general what was happening was that it was much harder for retail speciality stores and small chains to compete with Wal-mart and other megastores, and the market seemed to collapse.

A tremendous amount of retail just died in the 2000s, with only a few survivors. Either folding, or being bought out and merging with other companies that folded.
Yes it is working as intended, the argument is that those intentions are inhumane. Can you think of any medical treatments that were developed without the promise of 20 years of limitless profits? I can.
Byuu had a 13 page thread on the forum. Byuu participated in this thread. You can read the thread in archives. 13 pages on the Kiwi Farms is an extremely small amount of discussion, especially for a thread as old as Byuu's.

Last year, Byuu said in this thread directly that he was not affected by the thread in any way. You can read the archives.

The document claims that Byuu took his own life. No evidence of this exists. The person claiming to know he has died refuses to elaborate or provide evidence.

The last call with Byuu described in the accusation does not make sense. Consider that this person is supposedly an real life friend of Byuu (when Byuu also claims he had no real life friends), and consider that he did nothing for half an hour, but could remember the call well enough to describe an obscure French metal song playing in the background.

This is a ridiculous story. It does not pass any level of scrutiny and is not told in a way that makes sense.

Byuu has a history of accusing people of stalking and harassing him.

He made a post on his forum (which has since been deleted) accusing a rival emulator developer named Squarepusher from Retroarch of doing the same. A copy of this post is on the internet easy for you to find. https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/byuu1-png.1483458/

There is a claim that Byuu was 'doxed', then harassed in real life. This is also false.

Nobody knows who Byuu is. Even after years, nobody knows his last name. Nobody knows where he lives. Nobody knows where he works. He is completely anonymous and even now it is not possible to do a wellness check on him.

Byuu emailed Null before posting his tweet chain. You can read it here. https://archive.vn/R1oRN

In it, he attempted to exort Null. Byuu claimed that if Null did not delete all information about him on the forum, he would kill himself and blame Null.

He offered Null $120,000 cash. He saw this as a legally and morally dubious offer at best, entrapment at worst, so he declined.

Byuu also offered Null his services helping write software for the Kiwi Farms.

Null told Byuu he would have to consult an attorney regardless. Byuu did not wait even 24 hours after his first email before closing communications and deciding to go through with his plan at 3am Null's time.

In his emails to Null, he promised a trusted friend would deliver a scan of his passport on Twitter within 5 hours of him killing himself as proof. Two days later, we still do not have this passport scan or any evidence he has killed himself besides the testimony of a Twitter user, citing an anoynmous third party.

At least get your information right before going around the internet parroting what twitter freaks are screaming about. KF isn't a "bullying" website. KF doesn't exist to make people kill themselves. Discord has hosted worse, Twitter hosts worse. At least Kiwifarmers do not tolerate pedos or animal fuckers.
>What empathy?

Feels like this sums up so much of our world, it's scary. Anyway.

Main issue is with "mutual consent", or more specifically, negotiating power.

A contract negotiated between two parties with similar amounts of power will have terms that protect both sides. These will often define things like advance notice for cancellation, or penalties for early cancellation. The paying party usually wants the most flexibility for cancellation, the counterparty wants certainty of revenue, so a balance is found. Assuming everyone did their work, both sides should be reasonably happy with the terms of the contract.

A negotiation between a large corporation and an individual (low-level) employee is not really a negotiation, the individual employee can only accept or reject the corporation's offer but they cannot typically negotiate specific parts of the contract. Individually, they have no leverage. If they decline the offer and move on to the next company, they don't have any more negotiating power over there either.

Let's also talk about BATNA a bit here. BATNA for a company: they just hire the next person that comes along, still with the terms dictated by the company. BATNA for an employee: accept an offer somewhere else (again with the terms dictated by the company), or starve.

So what can an individual employee do to get more leverage and get an outcome closer to a "mutual consent" contract? Well, the obvious option is to coordinate their negotiation with others who also have low individual negotiating power but share similar interests. Combined, they should have a lot more leverage.

We could call this negotiating process "collective bargaining", and the group of individuals a "union".

> From a legal point of view at-will employment seems like the default when it comes to buying a service (ie. labor).

I think this gets to the heart of the difference: Americans tend to think of their employment as a continuous exchange of dollars for their labor, whereas most of the world takes the concept of an employment contract to heart.

That contract, in turn, contains both legal and contractual stipulations that prevent firing without cause: employers must give you so-and-so many weeks of notice before beginning the process of firing you, must pay you for so-and-so many months if you present an argument to a labor board, &c. There's nothing informal about it: it's the difference between continuous billing for a service and a fixed-length contract.

Here's a random PDF I found that explains some of the difference between US and French labor contracts[1].

I’d vote for swinging politicians from lamp posts, but were not allowed to do that.
The point was the hill is only 133 feet high, at 11% it's about 1000ft long, less than 1/4 mile. The duration of the climb is very important as well as the grade and in the case of this racetrack hill there's just no duration.

It's over in less than a minute for a fit cyclist. You would hit the bottom of the hill at > 20mph and your momentum is going to help you get partway up the hill before they hit the point they even have to climb at a steady speed. It's not even long enough for "climber" type cyclists to be able to start dropping heavier sprinter type cyclists because it's a quick little effort and you're over the top. Even if you're in a race and had to do 10 laps (a short beginner level distance) you would still only climb 1330 feet across a 30 mile race, which would generally be considered a fairly flat race.

The Tour De France has a classification system for climbs.. this one would be so short it would not necessarily even get a classification since it's not even 0.5km.

A really scary climb would be > 10% for 10km or more. I had mentioned the Mt. Washington Hill climb in NH. That is 7mi/11km at a 13% average grade with essentially no letup the entire climb and some sections exceeding 20%. An excellent time is anything under an hour and twenty minutes and if you can break 1 hour you're putting in a world class performance. A winning time up that mountain would considerably longer than a 10 lap race of COTA, average speed at COTA for an elite group would be around 30mph for 10 laps of COTA in all likelihood.

The hill at this race track is not even going to register to most serious cyclists.
why have a burner phone at all if you're going to do this? just get the APKs from the web
That's almost certainly true, in the very least in the form of corn subsidies for feed. My point was more that there are millions of jobs in the poultry industry alone. This is an existential threat to an enormous job market. One that is likely to become very messy. I think the US will struggle greatly to embrace this quickly, but nations that don't have large farming populations have a huge incentive to create a strong lab grown meat industry and export it. Very big economic opportunity, as well as another impending wave of poverty and irrelevance for traditional players.
There's actually some chance that a poorly written contract, can be fixed / worked out between the parties involved.
Maybe the world just needs less people trying to get something for nothing. If the scammers operating these currencies teach the greedy traders a lesson we'll all be better off.

Yes, good hiring managers with sharp vision will always want to hire new grades who is able to write operating systems, compilers or simulators from scratch. Having those essential CS skills are much better than having many buzz words in the resume.
Disagree. Go and Rust both have dynamic dispatch and neither have the problems that inheritance has. Even in C which lacks dynamic dispatch, people will either try to build it at the expense of type safety or they will try to manage an impossibly complex implicit state machine (I've seen this in a lot of critical real time systems).
I feel like OOP always had the nerd catnip problem. Since the very beginning the various programming tutorials would have the contrived examples of animals and canines and dogs, or geometric shapes and triangles etc. which just managed to ring a particular very satisfying bell in people's heads. It was just such a neat concept with those examples that just made sense. How it turned out in practice is a different story but I feel this had a lot to do with the enthusiastic uptake.

> The great mistake is to believe there is something useful called … "Functional", or what-have-you-oriented programming.

It’s a remarkably substantial mistake — “the great mistake”, even — to blithely discard a concept so fundamental to computer science and programming language theory that we literally could not progress in the field without it.

You may as well be an earth-bound carpenter denying the existence of “gravity-oriented design”.
Well, since you ask, I downvoted you for restating the false equivalence between OOP and inheritance, for the abjectly incorrect (and also, wholly unconstructive) straw-man statement that no-one agrees what OOP is, for the frankly absurd and wilfully ignorant claim that no-one articulates practical examples for the circumstances when inheritance rather than composition might actually be worth considering, and for bitching about downvotes, particularly that explicit assumption that they’re coming from people wedded to inheritance, and not from people who dislike disingenuous arguments and circular reasoning.

Some new technologies that are now crucial to web standards were developed as a part of IE. But to say Netscape was “Stone Age” in comparison is disingenuous and/or a misremembering of the past. Especially the following 5 years after Netscape died; when the web stagnated on IE6 while Firefox and Safari slowly gained market share.

IE had many issues supporting other crucial (and standard) technologies like CSS, images + alpha blending, basic ease of use features (tabs, accessibility, extensions), security (a good chunk of the ciphersuite was missing), etc.

> It’s fast acting, and varies in how it reacts in the body.

I believe they offer R (short acting / 2-5h), N (medium), and L (long acting / 24h). The problem with the older insulins isn't so much that they're faster, it's that they're less "specific" (from my experience). A newer short acting insulin (Apidpra, etc) has a spike in the 15-30 minute range and the spike is steep and the tail (while up to 5 hours) is low. Whereas R peaks in the 30m-1h range and the peak is low and the tail is much higher. As such, you need to plan ahead much better for your eating. It's frustrating, but not horrible. The N and L have similar problems (L is the reverse, where you want a tail equal to the spike, but it isn't).

The newer insulins a just much more convenient and require a lot less planning of what you eat and when... and not as close an eye on your blood.
That is correct. If you have the IPFS Companion[0] browser extension installed then it can automatically recognize URLs of this form and rewrite them to use your local IPFS node instead of the public ipfs.io gateway. The advantage of using https://ipfs.io/ipfs/... in your links instead of ipfs://... is that the former still works even if the visitor doesn't have the extension installed.
