If we are going to nanosecond precision, I'm a little surprised Temporal doesn't include a `TAIInstant`? Maintaining a leap-second table (and the conversion logic) sucks for the same reason that maintaining your own copy of tzdata sucks. It really wouldn't need any methods other than a (possibly lossy) conversion to or from the corresponding UTC `Instant`.
the problem is its mostly the dregs that get banned, and having a platform full of dregs is its own serious issue.
They probably could have sued 4can if they wanted.

But they understand that the audience of 4chan is much smaller than YT's, and brings incomparably less money to the 4chan that YT's audience brings to Google.

Please note, their failure to assert their rights does not void their rights. They are free to assert their rights where it makes financial sense. Let's remember that recording industry is not about music, it's about making money on selling music. They are where the money are, or where they think their money may be bleeding, or where a lawsuit can bring in more money. 4chan is not such a place, YT very much is.
For Android, I actually prefer RedReader with ImgurViewer as an external image viewer. Both are open source apps

Unlikely. High ranking government lawyers usually don't just put on cases to appease the donors of the executive. These are high-achieving, career-driven people. They want to win.
As much as I hope nothing happens to me, I've always thought about writing a "dead man switch" piece of code that sends all my keys and passwords to a couple of trusted people if multiple signals all suggest that the unfortunate has happened.

For example, all of the following must be true:

* Zero Github commits in a week

* Zero Facebook or Instagram posts in a week

* Zero e-mail outbox messages in a week

* Zero smart devices switched on/off in a week

* Zero outgoing phone calls in a week

etc
I went with an uber-simple solution of a wire running through the roof cavity from the magnetic switch to a big flashing LED in the ceiling by the front door.

https://www.michevan.id.au/posts/garage-door-sensor/

It's worked very well for us. You pretty much can't miss it flashing when you're heading towards the front of the house.

I recognise it may not be a good fit for other people though, but sometimes simpler can be betterer.

Hi! Co-creator of Optery here.

This is a great question. There are hundreds of data brokers across different categories (e.g. people search, email, phone, audience marketing, geolocation, past purchases, TV viewing, etc). Many data brokers operate across categories.

We've started off with the People Search Site category first because that's where we sensed the most pain from the users we spoke with.

We are constantly expanding our coverage, and will be adding more data broker categories in the near future. ZoomInfo is high up on the list to be added soon because we get asked about them a lot.

Technically few games have single frame response times. The default UE4 configuration is 4 frames of latency. With tuning it can be brought down to 1 frame of latency. Unity, is uh, Unity.
My work is very excited about the new office location that they're moving into. I'm uh... less than enthused about it. Fifteen months of not having to drive into the snarl of traffic everyday has been nice. I don't really get anything out of being there rather than in my better office space at home.

> Maybe there are situations where no hot sauce but sriracha will do, but that's much rarer in the US

There are many cases where sriracha not not general hot sauce would work such as dim sum and pho.

And before you counter with "in the US", I'd argue that Huy Fong is much more dominant in California than in the US at large and in California, cuisines where only sriracha type hot sauce and not just any general hot sauce works are much more common.

Sorry to hear that. It's possible there's just not much in the corpus that matches your interests. Re: the algorithm, it should start improving faster soon. I'm in the middle of a large refactoring, and I've recently been joined by someone who will work solely on the algorithm after that. (I'm spread pretty thin myself).

FWIW the average rating is 2.5, which does seem kind of low, but still indicates that you're probably an outlier. That being said I've been relying mainly on regular newsletter engagement metrics to judge how effective the recommendations are, since rating can be a little unreliable (people are more likely to rate something when they've had a bad experience). Lately we've been at 46% open rate and 16% click-through rate.

>I realize you're a stranger to this discussion. But you're coming in from the completely wrong angle here.

You are right that I am not up on the current DOA controversy. I simply know the controversy that has existed around that franchise since basically its inception. That plus the other commenter's comparison to sex work led me to believe the complaints were coming from the other side of the issue. I'm apparently wrong on that, but either way we are still talking about the same issue. People in the past have complained that the game objectified women. The developers have tried to distance themselves from that and now the fans are crying censorship. There is still the same issue at the heart of it, just which side is complaining the loudest has flipped.

>You're 100% wrong about this. There are plenty of examples inside of the video game community where adult women with 100% consent and 100% control over their creative abilities choose to be sexy, but this sexiness invites controversy.

I didn't say there would be zero controversy, but there is definitely less controversy when someone objectifies a group of which they belong. That isn't limited to video games. That is true of basically all modern western culture.

That's a good point, but I think Reddit is more than "slightly more user-friendly." It's developer friendly - way more so than other big networks - and that makes a big difference.

Look, I don't work for reddit or have any skin in the game, other than I use it every day (it being the service - I RARELY use the official app or website). And granted, I'm not a typical Internet enjoyer, but it's easier for me to enjoy reddit than it is to enjoy facebook, instagram, linkedin, pinterest, tiktok, because of decisions reddit made to not do what all these other ones did.

Again I say - that's a very low bar. Reddit app and reddit website still suck. But reddit the service and the company is 10x better than the other networks (note I'm not commenting on the CONTENT here, that's for another day)
I’m also confused … why does the UN play a role in this process - the ICC is not a UN body.
The craziest thing about this is the beach he died at. Playa Hermosa is pretty well known for mad riptides and not being such a fun place to surf or swim as a result. What the hell was he doing there swimming around casually? There's warning flags everywhere... you can see them in the local news article regarding this

https://www.teletica.com/sucesos/extranjero-de-41-anos-murio...

"Los hechos se dieron a eso de las 8:30 a.m. cuando Popescu ingresó al mar a nadar en el sector de Tramonto, fue arrastrado por la corriente y murió en el lugar.

Guardavidas de Playa Jacó le recuerdan a los turistas y bañistas que Paya Hermosa no es una zona para nadar.

Además, recomiendan nunca ingresar al mar solos, sin guardavidas, personas o surfistas cerca a quienes pedir ayuda en caso de emergencia. "

no es una zona para nadar... means it's not a swimming zone. Someone really should have told him harder. Completely avoidable tragedy.
Have you ever actually seen a map of Australia? Or pictures? What planet have you been on that makes this comment even reasonable?
That's how existing countries and currencies already work, too.
You do that virtually, not physically.
Also very few level crossings due to a live 3rd rail on many lines. Crossing tracks safely and legally can be a many mile detour.
I'm pretty sure that's less likely in crypto than in real life.
This is useful advice.
That means that LastPass themselves can access your account contents at any time, too.

That's an accident waiting to happen.
it's an interesting approach, since you can personalize the moderation, that I see used in some communities but is not perfect. The implementation that I see requires good tagging (where you mark what tag are you not interested in) or has poor discoverability and high manageability cost (where you have to find the correct blocklist, and this blocklist has to be constantly updated).

More importantly, it doesn't solve the other problem: I don't want to use a website that supports a certain ideology or promotes dangerous content. So the website operator needs to have some sort of serverside moderation otherwise part of the community will not comfortable using it.

Some imageboards use both system, a client-side taglist that hide undesirable comment, and some "server-side" rules about what is generally allowed. I don't think client-side only moderation is sufficent
> Now it sounds like you've pivoted to, "it's complicated and we would have to think really hard about it", contrasting this with an overt strawman, as though any reasonable solution would consist of "sit back and say 'we did the best we could'".

None of this is a pivot; systems science is my primary topic of interest but if I started talking about attractors or distributed-parameter systems then I'm just spewing jargon and that doesn't help anybody. We need market interventions, funding interventions, sociological, maybe even cultural interventions (if anybody's figured out how to shape culture yet). My point is that systems science provides an approach to dealing with these exact kinds of problems.

My point (which, I don't know if I'm not being clear enough or you're just missing it) is that as a society we tend to over-rely on just legislating away issues. The problem is that these techniques aren't going to cut it in this instance. They might help a bit, but it's not going to remove the need for fossil fuels, which are one of the biggest problems. It might make the occasional chemical plant executive think twice about dumping waste into the water. Those aren't the kind of incremental results that will avoid disaster. And you can't rely on the compounding of incremental results either, as would typically be the next step in the reductionist pipeline of ineffective approaches. Even if we stave off anthropogenic co2, we still have every other climate problem we've created to deal with.

If you think that making murder illegal has done the job of reducing the murder rate then there's really no getting through to you. Murder's been illegal for hundreds or thousands of years depending on the country, and it turns out that other things have done the work that making murder illegal could not. If perhaps we could have investigated and put funds towards those things earlier, the murder rate would have dropped sooner.

It's a similar argument to the "defund the police" people - maybe stop trying to stamp out crime exclusively through punishing it, and instead divert some of those funds elsewhere to prevention through different services like mental health and community intervention.
This just isn't correct. Public ledger cryptocurrencies are able to be digitally transferred without any form of personal identification, unlike almost any other form of payment. Just because the ledger is public does not mean that one's identity is public, merely the addresses involved in the transaction are public. If there is nothing tying one's identity to an address or transaction, then the transaction being public is meaningless.

Further, this point is completely nullified by the fact that there are private ledger cryptocurrencies (e.g. Monero). Widely available public cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are useful for crime because they're (relatively) easily understandable, usable, and purchasable by laypeople. This results in a process that goes as such:

> Customer wants illicit good

> Customer goes on coin brokerage and buys Bitcoin

> Customer sends Bitcoin to illicit goods dealer in exchange for goods/services

> Dealer exchanges Bitcoin for Monero

> Dealer now has "clean" currency that could be used for anonymous cash drops, speculation, or even withdrawal from a public marketplace.

There are at least hundreds of people operating in the many millions of revenue using this model (with some additional safeguards) that have been successful for years and years. You are correct in saying that you are staking your freedom on the safety of something such as Monero, although you are free to analyze its safety and determine whether or not it is suitable for your threat model.

You can just give private keys to a bunch of people, and give a cyphertext encrypted to all of them to your attorney, to be distributed upon your death.

They are good arguments as long as you can show evidence the slope is slippery. The slippery slope fallacy isn't that slippery slopes don't exist, it is that they are asserted without evidence.

Oooh, they are aware. Keep in mind that Boeing's also was aware about possible issues with the MCAS in the 737 MAX and it went flying (and crashing) anyway.
they can deny access to content ID, and require manually submitted claims (providing a postal address and requiring hard copy notifications still meets the DMCA requirement's AFAIK)

so while they cant just ignore a claim, they can make it harder to make a claim.

Something being widely practiced doesn't make it necessarily good or bad though. At-will being the global norm is not inherent evidence that it is productive, just, or consistent policy.

The low hanging fruit analogies are slavery, limited suffrage, and laws against homosexual civil unions, all of which were global norms at one point.

I suppose I should have said mid level devs, which is more common in tech hubs.

Although, junior devs certainly can get that much at top tier companies in SF, but you have to be really good to get them.
Yea and also having it as your initial content off puts a lot of viewers, and similar to people making and creating stuff.

While it might boost you initial user-base its gonna make growth slow to a crawl long term unless you have some clever way if dealing with it.
Some libertarian crank (I forget who) said that the best charity a person could do is to cash out their fortune and burn the paper dollars. This is a deflationary event and does just what you mention--gives everybody a little gift. Somehow a cynical suggestion like that is considered serious now. Because it is high-tech I guess.
That just drives them toward using bots instead of humans.
Why would anyone do that? The stolen coins would become worthless as the other 49% of the network flee to a platform that doesn't come with the risk of arbitrary theft.
And yet here I am being productive.
That is precisely my point.
I suppose. But that means I must find an attorney first. What do they cost, like $900 an hour? ... I think that's part of what I'm trying to replace by technical means.
That’s not true in the least. It’s mostly private investment.
Probably due to Google Suite -- perhaps they have something similar available at the administrator level -- but that link shows me: "The setting you are looking for is not available for your account."
It would take decades,even with this 'Covid changed everything' to have abundance of remote roles, especially outside the tech sector, which was always more succeptable to remote work. For a lot of companies it's simply easier to call everyone in, then no need to figure out anything. Having spent the last 15 month working remotely,I can't imagine going back to office,unless it's literally across the road.
Why “validate your idea” is bad advice, and what to do instead
I really like the idea of that upcoming service. But, not exactly where you want to store a piece of information worth $2B. A good old fashioned safety deposit box in a Swiss bank or something and several layers of trustees would be more applicable in this case.
This is a crowded space. Since you're charging a subscription, you 100% need a comparison table so we can determine exactly how your product distinguishes itself from the dozens of others (anki, quizlet, etc).

There's a whole story about this.

The figure I most often cite is 0.68% from the study by Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz and Lea Merone[1]. That paper is skeptical of serosurveys that show high incidence (see the discussion of reference 61, which is by Ioannidis).

Ioannidis responded with the paper you cited, the preprint of which contained a personal and unprofessional attack against Meyerowitz-Katz, removed from the published version, though a scientific critique remains. Meyerowitz-Katz responded on Twitter[2], mostly to the substantive critiques. There's more drama around this, with a number of prominent virologists taking M-K's side (see the Twitter threads).

Also see the PubPeer reviews for this paper[3], which contain more serious criticism of Ioannidis.

I go into detail here to make a few points. The main one is that, especially when there's legitimate scientific controversy, citing a single paper can really fail to give the whole picture. Another is that "the science" isn't one simple monolithic set of beliefs, even on such a seemingly basic statistical question, but is actually more of a conversation.

If we know anything about Bitcoin is that hardforking it doesn't work and you end up with coins that are worth a couple percentage in value compared to the original chain.
A week is a short amount of time if you ever take full blown technology holidays. Additionally, zero XXX could be easily broken by some arbitrary function (a Facebook app for instance).

Never heard of the guy even though I follow crypto closely . Back in 2010-2013 or so a lot of people quietly amassed a fortune. His death effectively reduces the supply by about .13%, which goes to show just how big bitcoin is.
