This is correct but, crucially, not what was conveyed by the reporting on Binance in almost all of the major news outlets.
For example the massively misleading previous headline "Binance banned in the UK" in the FT.

The FCA ruling is not really the problem imo, i'm more reacting to the financial press such as FT and the Economist. Cooling down overleveraged small traders about to lose it all on some bad investment is definitely a good thing. However, intentionally misleading people via major newsites including the BBC is not.

But that is in fact the most fundamental question here. And I’m not fully sold on the idea either that this is going to happen in real-world usage or that a single function in a massive program constitutes a large enough portion to be infringing.
I trend towards "progressive" rock music, which is "more music than vocals", but not purely either. As a rule, I don't "listen" to the lyrics, I've never been much for what the songs "mean". I treat the vocals as just yet another instrument in the package.

Prog rock songs also tend to be long, as well as the albums. It's not untoward for me to put an album in the background and have it playing for an entire week. Sometimes I'll stream morow.com, an online prog streaming station.

Currently, I'm hooked on two Genesis concerts, from '87 and '92 at Wembley, that I can't seem to get enough of. I've been playing them solid for over a month off of YouTube. Abacab from the '87 concert is particularly good.
But how would someone know later which transaction is valid? Like, a new entrant to the network gets two transactions spending the same input, without a block chain to determine ordering of transactions, this new entrant wouldn't know which was actually spent. Both transactions could have subsequent spends, so that is also not a way to determine which is the one to follow. You can't decide to follow neither, because it's possible (even likely) that the person who owns those coins now was not the person who tried double spending them.
They don’t directly, but it will be interesting to see if apps start migrating preferentially to Android as the preferred platform for ‘free’ apps and they become more and more unable to monetize on iOS.
Pedantic correction: "Ogilvy".

While the only metric that matters is sales (I fully agree), you need other metrics to understand how those sales happened. This is the dangerous thing.

I've worked at companies where people were evaluated based on very specific metrics, like web traffic or social media engagement. The problem with that is you end up focusing on improving those numbers rather than improving sales.

But if you only focus on sales, you can't tell which activities made a difference (or in which direction). You need other data to understand what's happening.

A better book than Ogilvy on Advertising, in this regards, is Claude C. Hopkins' Scientific Advertising. It lays out all the principles for testing ads, back when we didn't have any concept of analytics. The basic method was: Try different things in different markets to see what works best. Keep doing it indefinitely, so that your ads only ever get better.

There's no reason the same approach can't be taken with public relations. If you're working for a national brand, try assigning some PR folks to exclusively work the media in one given region. Then see what the difference is.

(Obviously, you have to do a lot of work to "control the variables", but any data scientist -- or any scientist at all, actually -- should be able to figure that out in their sleep.)

It's not rocket science. These methods have been around for a very long time.

Honestly, I think we've just gotten lazy. Setting up market tests is a lot of work, whereas creating an A/B test in AdWords is easy. But there's no such thing as an unmeasurable publicity tactic (whether it's advertising or public relations). You just gotta be willing to do the work.
There is no such thing as dis-trusted.

Bitcoin is "trustless". There is no trust of any form.
Not everything can be reproduced by stealing IP. It requires developing large organizations, cultures, highly skilled personnel in management, multiple forms of engineering, manufacturing, etc.

Complicated, maybe, but expensive? Once the software is written, there should be no more cost.

A simpler approach is, before recycling electronics, a couple blows with a hammer on the circuit board ought to take care of it. Sure, a well-funded actor may still be able to retrieve something from the memory, but unless you are a very valuable target, nobody will find it worthwhile to reconstruct a shattered circuit board.

It's why I was always amused by people worrying that an electron microscope could retrieve data from a hard disk drive rewritten 6 times. Yah, nobody's going to do that.

Although thr rise of sound bars may have come from supplementing the television, I do not think you are correct in your final sentence.

People who use a sound bar do so because it checks as many audio needs as necessary within a simple setup. For myself and many others, its use as a quality bluetooth sound system is just as important.

Leaving with things they did not pay for.

> Security guards ... do not have an unlimited right to just grab other people and detain them. If the stolen goods are inside, say, a backpack, they also do not have the ability to search that backpack.

Not unlimited rights. They can use reasonable (and solely nonlethal) force to detain shoplifters that they have probable cause are shoplifting and even search them (for instance, their backpacks) for such goods. You need to read up on California Penal Code 490.5.

They cannot punish them, but they can prevent them from leaving with items they don't own.
I like the HTML spec’s version, used for <input type=email> validation: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-ma.... It allows all realistic inputs except for IP addresses (of dubious realism) and email address internationalisation (internationalised domain names are supported, but the local part is still currently stuck with ASCII, which is in keeping with its still-quite-limited support, though https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4562 progresses in fits and starts).
> On PoS, there's no such limitation

There is no significant computational effort needed, but it is incorrect to say that PoS protocols do not limit the number of blocks that can be created. Most PoS systems do in fact have such a limitation.
I think the most anticlimatic, but most effective way to make such an AI would be to run an engine like stockfish at maximum strength to turn a game into an endgame, and then use the endgame tables to convert the game to a forced draw.
It seems to me that more "bush did it" 9/11 conspiracy videos were allowed to stay up, than COVID-19 vaccine critical or alternate treatment discussing videos.

And I think I understand why, it's because we worry less about the stuff that we think few other people believe, and more about things that we think lots of other people will believe and act on. Flat-earthers were firmly in the "who cares" category for a long time (and probably still are but I'm less sure these days).

But it's unfortunate that the COVID-19 related content is now setting the precedent for what kind of speech should be scrubbed from all popular platforms and hosts, with what kind of government guidance and public pressure.
In my mind the problem proof of work solves is how quickly new blocks can be generated [...]

There is actually no real point of rate limiting the creation of new blocks, why not generate them as fast as possible and therefore execute transactions as quickly as possible? This certainly needs some more thought, you do not want miners spamming empty blocks or blocks full of their own fake transactions, you can not provide a fixed block reward, and whatnot. But in general the mining rate limit is a limitation and not a feature.

Proof of work has nothing to do with that, any system that can encourage everyone to agree on the next block does the same prevention of double spend.

Sure, proof of work establishes consensus and any consensus algorithm could be used. But Bitcoin is anonymous, so you do not know how many parties are there that need to agree and therefore a simple vote based consensus protocol does not work. You have to prevent a malicious user from casting a million votes and changing the consensus branch as they please. How do you do that? You make casting a vote hard, you make them, for example, waste a lot of clock cycles to do so.

DIY-Thermocam V3 – A low-cost, do-it-yourself thermal imager
The power of thermal imaging - now affordable for everyone!

The DIY-Thermocam V3 is a low-cost, do-it-yourself thermal imager, based on the popular radiometric FLIR Lepton sensor and an open-source ecosystem.

The device gives private persons, educational institutes and companies access to a portable, affordable and customizable thermal imaging platform that is based on open-source software and hardware. It is constructed as a self-assembly solution, that can be build at home by only using some standard tools. It's like LEGO, but for grown-ups!

There are various applications like finding heat leaks in the insulation of buildings, the analysis of electrical or mechanical components, the detection of persons / animals or even mounting it on a drone and recording continuous or time-lapse images.

There is an active GroupBuy for the KIT: https://groupgets.com/campaigns/949-diy-thermocam-v3-round-2

Extremely burnt out at 25. Considering quitting job and taking an extended break
By all reasonable metrics my life is absolutely fantastic. I'm a dev (which I love, or, well, loved), have worked at a FAANG company, and another at the FAANG level, and now work at essentially my dream job at a growing and successful startup. I'm married and have a large amount of savings. I'm only 3 years out of college, but I have ~10 years of actual dev experience, and supposedly am one of the best performers in the places I've worked.

I absolutely detest my life and find no joy in anything. Video games that would be enjoyable now are just the easiest way to distract myself from feeling terrible, but I don't actually _enjoy_ the time spent. For the most part, I don't do anything outside of work; I largely just sit around. I would occasionally go on bike rides or walks, but I've never been a very outdoorsy person. Life became a very dull cycle of wake, work, wait for work to end, sit around, wait and dread work, etc...

I have sleep issues, and my various medications have not seemed to help. I am (or was) typically a very passionate, motivated person. I was always reading stuff to learn, was very dedicated in school, was always thinking of side projects to work on, etc... I started a medical leave from work a month ago because I couldn't handle starting work each day. Since then, I've felt no motivation to do anything, and an extreme dread at the idea of returning to work. I haven't written code all of that time. I _liked_ writing software, my team was great, but I was always just waiting to stop working each day.

I feasibly could just outright quit my job and be fine for a long time, but I don't know how to rationalize it. It's so hard to look at other people objectively suffering from poor working conditions, low income, and other common problems, and say "well _I_ deserve to relax." I hate to let my job go, but I also hate to force myself to go to work and let down my peers because I'm unreliable. I'm weak and I don't know how not to be.
Right, there are a few problems with this.

One, banks do not have a responsibility to prevent payments going into institutions conducting unregulated activities. There are, literally, hundreds of these institutions doing business in the UK and Barclays is doing nothing (because it is nothing to do with them).

Two, Barclays itself is pretty much ground zero for a regulated institution behaving poorly. Their wealth management arm is notorious for retailing various kinds of unregulated schemes that self-destruct. They have a terrible reputation (although admittedly, this is now different from the UK retail bank...still, their UK retail bank doesn't have a great reputation either). In other contexts, Barclays has actually refused to comply with laws passed by the UK govt...so this is a very suspicious change in position from them.

Three, only some of the activities that Binance is conducting are regulated (i.e. those crypto derivatives which are classified as securities). The logical conclusion for this is not to ask UK banks to stop payments towards that entity (or for those banks to unilaterally decide to do that themselves) because Binance is also conducting activities which are unregulated, and those payments shouldn't be blocked (particularly because these are a payment function for some people, has the UK's payment system been shut down because some people use it for fraud? No).

This is not unusual. UK banks, for reasons known only to themselves, have begun to block payments to other companies that they don't like. Starling attempted to introduce an opt-in for gambling transactions (totally legal and regulated in the UK). There is no precedent for this. It is not the function of banks to decide who you should pay (and btw, the reason why this has started happening, imo, is because they have become liable for hacks...I have an account with a UK bank, and it is actually difficult for me to send money to anyone because there is so much compliance...and I had to get an account with another bank just so I can send money...at the bottom of everything with UK banks is money).
That function exists in hundreds, if not thousands, of GitHub repositories. The function is so well known it has it's own Wikipedia page. If there is a more famous function in computer science, I don't know what it is. The fact that a machine trained on GitHub repositories might reproduce such common code is not alarming or surprising to me. I think people are using this as an example and implying it's happening all over the place, but I've yet to see another example like it.

Cant answer for their reasons, but anecdotally I've seen this happen a few times and in each case the 'founder' of the app already had a load of experience developing for iOS / macOS / Swift. They then hired someone / learned how to do Android once the prototype was complete.

A lot of these things start out as ideas or hobby projects too, so generally the app starts being built for iOS because why wouldn't you write it with the stack you're already comfortable with / can use your own phone to test it.

I don't necessarily think its always a conscious 'we must do iOS first', but if you own an iPhone already and do iOS dev at work...
> Yet here we still are.

By we, you are talking middle to upper income countries not the poor countries in Africa and especially no the islands states in the Pacific. Or maybe you are not one of the relatives of the poor souls were lost in 50C heatwave in Canada last week.

If those do not apply to you, sure we are here. Just add, at the moment.
That looks great! I ran into a couple of feed generators when I first needed this myself, but they were either paid or clumsy to use. That's when I thought, "alright, I can build this myself, and then I can even use CSS selectors, since I'm comfortable with those anyway". Of course, that is the point I should've thought about explicitly searching for one that supported that :)

Ah well. What I do like about my current approach is that I have full control without having to run my own server, which is nice.

I'm talking about political groupings in the U.S. The left clearly does much better on climate change. (That probably applies to other wealthy democratic countries, where Green parties are common.)

I'm not sure how the countries mentioned are involved, or even what their political leanings are in this context. Iran is a highly conservative authoritarian theocracy, North Korea a totalitarian dictatorship that is nominally communist. What does that have to do with climate change?
State control of customs and excise pre-dates the Magna Carta, so the English state has devoted resources to chasing participants in transactions it deems unlawful for several hundred years.

Modern money laundering controls weren't possible until electronic money and record keeping, but then for related technical reasons it was much harder to evade the primitive controls they did have.
ECC reporting is part of the memory controller (which is unified across all Zen architecture parts), and is fully supported and functional. You can see the reporting working as expected within the Hardware Canucks article linked in the grand parent.

The article you linked mentions that ECC reporting is not working with the on-board IPMI controller (which presumably means that ECC events aren't being logged in the SEL). While that might be a limitation of this board (and other IPMI-equipped AM4 boards), reporting from within the operating system will still work.
This is excellent advice (am I being too prescriptive?). Don't be fooled by the simplicity of this post, it's very easy to get lost in personalities and other red herrings but an expert who is willing to take the time to reflect on a problem with you is rare and golden.

I don't think significantly poorer countries are a fair comparison; they can't afford to do better. The US is the wealthiest country in the history of the world.

Among wealthy countries, the US is the exception (maybe there's one I'm not thinking of).
It isn't about being anticompetitive, it is about regulation, to protect the average consumer from being taken advantage of by unscrupulous people touting scams, and also to protect the government, as the government guarantees deposits up to £85k per person per institution. 'Retail' banks are required to ring-fence certain deposit funds from their more risky investments in an attempt to provide a buffer in the event of another financial crisis and to avoid the need for the government to bail out another bank like Northern Rock. This is on top of the usual requirements for a banking license, rules on capital leverage and the many and varied other rules banks must comply with.

Banks are required to and have large audit functions and have automated systems for flagging potential fraud to these teams, and are independently audited as well. This is why they enforce rules like KYC and so on. No system is perfect and certainly some level of money laundering will always slip through, but the idea they are not acting at all is pure fiction, as the regulator has teeth.

As sibling comments have pointed out, plenty of 'challenger banks' exist in the UK, e.g. Monzo, although they are not the only one, innovating just fine within the confines of 'legacy' banking.

Given the scam that is tether, and the atrocious transaction throughput all cryptocurrencies vs say just the Visa network, plus the fact that through Faster Payments I can move significant sums to any UK account within seconds, I am curious why you feel UK Financial institutions are not keeping up with 'the pace of change', particularly when bitcoin types are shilling a system that reinvents all the problems in the financial system regulation has been enacted to protect against, with no backing and terrible volatility?
