Certainly, I'm just responding to "So, not like a book, where if you have the physical copy you can generally read it"

As far as I know it is like a book, if you have a copy you can read (execute) it, you just can't make new copies for your customers.

Whether or not that helps ChessBase... well... ya...
I rember the day in the UK when you could no longer walk into the shop with alien shaped bongs in the window and come out with a bag full of Thai magic mushrooms. The politicians said they were a slippery slope to hard drugs. As if. Shrooms make you see the world in a different light, a very colourful and fluid one, they don't make you want to smoke a crack pipe. Idiots. Fifteen odd years of lost visions. When can we have them back, damnit.
Indeed, investopedia's definition seems to include any time supply is insufficient with no regard for the reason that the market price is not increasing.
Gotcha, but htaccess is specific to one server (apache). You can leave that out for basic things for basic use cases (just set read/write as you would for a normal unix user) and for more granular things you need to configure FTP just like you need HTTP.
A thick log or dead deer across the tracks of a high speed train could lead to catastrophe.

I once rode the Eurostar from London to Paris and as I recall all the high speed sections were enclosed in very high, barbed wire fence. So some security is definitely needed. Collision energy goes up with the square of velocity.
Ah, but that’s the tough part - there IS a measurable difference in behavior of the universe between these two examples! (albeit hard to experimentally prove exists, but it has been!)

They really are in a superposition, not just ‘not known’ until one is measured.

Just like light was proven to (truly, actually) be both a light and a wave through the double slit experiments. It doesn’t feel right, but it is - and that is where the progress is made, and why the pushback on some examples. It hides the actual truth behind a misleading, but easy to understand example, that teaches people the opposite of what is really going on.
Yes, Forem is extracted from dev.to— which was built to reach millions— With crowdsourced moderation, feed algorithms, rich editors, etc, and we're working backwards from there. So yeah, it's a little complicated at this layer of the stack, and getting simpler over time as we work to extract from the core.

Background processes, on-the-fly image optimization/caching— It's more shopify for independent social networking than it is classical forum software.
I agree. To me tools.build is not a replacement for Lein at all. Lein is more intuitive to most beginners. It's much easier to tell someone to run `lein new some-app` and `lein run` / `lein uberjar`, than to tell them to configure their deps.edn file so they can run some alias with the `-X:...` / `-M` arg to create and run a new project (and who knows which dependency to use / configure to build an uberjar).

For experienced Clojure developers this might seem trivial, but new people (in my experience) are very impatient and want to get started ASAP. Honestly, who can blame them? Why does it have to be so difficult in this day and age?

Another thing I hear Clojure developers say is that beginners can start with Lein, but once you get more experienced with Clojure you can switch to tools.build. Why does a build tool need to be so unusable that you can only use it when you become more familiar with the language? You don't see that with Ruby's Bundler, or Elixir's Mix. They just work, just like Lein does.
Nothing about what I suggested would prevent you from doing that.
It is a practice that does something, by which I mean something observable via MRI. Here's a meta analysis of the papers on MRI scans of meditators' brains: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4471247/

The cautious conclusion is that meditation is on par with being a cab driver in a large city (which also shows up on brain scans).
Perhaps, but I think that’s speculation based in cynicism. By the same reasoning, wouldn’t a military person look down and say, “I want to subjugate the others by force?”

I’m more inclined to believe that there is something intrinsically profound in seeing all the known life in the universe in one field of view. I also am inclined to believe that billionaires are just the world’s most wealth-atypical people, not the world’s most neuro-atypical people, and thus would respond in the typical way to the overview.

But maybe that’s an optimism bias on my part.
Easy Methods to Make Money Online as a Musician in 2021
There's plenty of evidence that this type of attack surface (parsers operating on untrusted data received over the Internet) is fixable, even at Big Tech scale. The most obvious example is Microsoft Office in the early 2000s and the switch to the XML-based format with newer, easier-to-implement and ideally memory-safer parsers. That's not to say there's no bugs in Office anymore, but it's certainly much much better than it was.

Microsoft figured it out. Apple can do it, too.
Isn't it possible that our universe is really just an approximation meant to look as detailed as possible? You don't need a universe of processing power to simulate a universe. You just need to make it look believable enough that it fools whoever is in your simulation.
I have never stressed over or debugged Leiningen in my 6 years of Clojure experience.

Not sure what you're on about.
>Isn't it true that if you entangle two particles, separate them, then measure one it'll tell you something about the other particle?

Yes that's true, but that's also true of things that aren't entangled. I assure you if I went to Socrates, showed him a red ball and a blue ball, put them in a bag, and took out a ball at random that happened to be red, Socrates would have no problem realizing that the other ball must be blue. I am sure if I went to my 4 year old daughter, she'd figure it out as well because nothing about quantum mechanics or entanglement would be needed to understand this.

What entanglement tells us is that if two balls had their colors entangled, then both balls are both red and blue at the same time and it's simply not possible to reason about one ball being blue and one ball being red while they are entangled. They are in a superposition of both colors and remain so until a measurement is performed.

Once the measurement is performed, they are no longer entangled and only at that point can you call one ball red and the other blue.
That's exactly what the article we're all commenting on is about!
My impression on reading this list was, uh yeah, there's no avoiding that. Except if you know an expert. Then just ask an expert.

Search engines for papers suck, bad. At the fringes of human knowledge, you need an actual brain to process cutting-edge research. Either your own non-expert brain, or an expert brain to help guide you.

That process is the same in every field. Older fields have textbooks with knowledge distilled from experts. That's a good place to start to get the state of the art > 20 years ago.
We love footnoted! Michelle Leder of footnoted has been really supportive of our work. She recognizes that it's an important area for tech innovation. footnoted isn't operating right now but when it comes back, we'll support her and collaborate if we can.

We're often compared to AlphaSense, Sentieo and InsiderScore but our product is pretty different. Competitor products focus on sentiment and linguistic metrics or search etc, not on extracting and organizing important textual content.
No KYC. It's good enough for now.
Yes, but that would have required Adobe invest time and money into a platform they were going to kill off.

Adobe's official guidance was to "convert" your Flash content to HTML5. They added CreateJS support in 2013 and you could export movies to this format. Aside from the fact that it also rendered everything in a PNG spritesheet instead of vectors (because SVG+SMIL wasn't an option!?), there was zero support for existing ActionScript APIs or content. You would have to rewrite everything in 2013-era JavaScript (which is even more difficult due to the fact that AS3 adopted a lot of preliminary web APIs that were ultimately never adopted into browsers, like ES4, E4X, and so on).

In their eyes, that was it. Who cares about old Flash content? We should just rewrite all of it.

In Adobe's defense the Player was a huge money sink at this point, and they had no clue how to actually pay for any of it. The last big upgrade they planned was AS4, and their idea of how to pay for it was to start charging people for using specific Player features in certain combinations. When Flash developers balked about this (because the monetization model Flash used to rely on was that you bought access to the Player with your Flash Pro license) Adobe decided to shitcan future Player features altogether and just put the whole project on maintenance mode.

Actually, now that I think about it, that isn't really a good defense of Adobe. The company is an absolutely terrible steward of it's own software.
>nobody asked them for this

I very much support the policy. Anonymous money pretty much serves one thing uniquely well which is avoiding the law, sanctions, laundering money, buying drugs or funding crime and I don't think any society has interest in having these markets exist outside of the purview of the state.
Wouldn‘t a coin mixer achieve the same outcome of obfuscating the coins‘ source (if the provider of the service can be trusted and does not run away with the money) in exchange for explicitly tagging them as "somebody laundered these coins"?
Composability is one of the things the Julia community generally Takes Seriouslyᵀᴹ so definitely don't hesitate to ask if there are two packages that don't play as nicely as you would like!

I'm a bit confused still though why you say it's a "missing" feature, given that as we discussed above, there is absolutely nothing to stop anyone who wants to use the "Python OOP" style of namespacing in Julia from doing so? Most of us don't seem to find it necessary or to prefer it personally, but that doesn't restrict anyone else from choosing it.
That person clearly is not a victim of the school, rather that person is the victim of a predatory loan.

Just think about it. A degree doesn't have to cost $300000 but the bank financed it anyway, with the clear intention of working that person down to their bones. Why would a bank let someone take a debt that takes 10 years of work to repay? Because they want to force that person to work for 10 years. If the law were sane the debtor would default as soon as possible.
In summary, a young man with a questionable past and no education or experience created a game that had "investing" and "shop club" aspects tied in and conned 250 million dollars from thousands of people in Turkey. He fled the country with ~80 million, was aprehended/surrendered himself to an embassy in Brazil with 13 dollars in his pocket, and the game's programmer is on the hook for part of the blame.

Cool story, and an example of how old cons find new embodiments in new tech. Apparently this was a (rather convoluted?) pyramid scheme.
You may argue that the differences are irrelevant for all practical purposes but you don't get to claim that there are no differences between different interpretations.

It depends what one considers "significant differences". If I go from caring about the practical implications of an interpretation to some other implications, I could make all sorts of distinctions. Explanation X might be written in French and explanation Y might be written in Spanish. Even if one is a translation of the other, you could say they're different in various ways. Or maybe one explanation contains swear words and makes the reader feel bad and so the reader might not "like" that explanation.

But my point above is more specific. Since the two interpretations have the same practical implications, a practical prediction can't really "need" one interpretation - the other interpretation gives you the result. This is the point about all the hidden objects/states explanations have classical analogues.

And if we're getting metaphysical, Copenhagen doesn't say live cat or dead cat but says superimposed state.
> Fifty years after the War on Drugs was officially declared and psychedelic substance prohibition began in contravention of evidence supporting therapeutic use, the California State Senate has taken the first Legislative step to dismantle psychedelic prohibition with a 21-16 vote on June 1, 2021, in favor of Senate Bill 519 Controlled substances: decriminalization of certain hallucinogenic substances sponsored by California State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco).

Just want to point out that if even Liberal Bastion California could only pass this with a 57% majority, it likely doesn't stand much chance of being passed anywhere else.
I thought that line was a mistake too.

Your software is just a tiny amount of code (relative to the whole system) making up the control plane between all the pieces.

I think the author probably meant that to personally write less code you need to leverage more external code (libraries and network API's).

Write less code -> Leverage other peoples code -> More integration with different systems
It’s possible to demonstrate control of a wallet without giving the secrets to the government.
If you make people fill out paperwork to sell exploits in Israel, Germany, and the United States, they will sell exploits in Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Kigali. I'm not saying you're expressing it at all, but there is a lot of chauvinism built into the most popular ideas for regulating exploits.
This looks great in particular the portals feature is very useful for reading papers. I hope it supports annotations even if just highlighting.
As others have mentioned the EU is mulling an EU wide “ban” of transactions above €10,000.

However most member states already have that in place including far lower limits.

In Greece all cash transactions above €500 have to go through an AML due diligence process which includes a full KYC for both the buyer, seller and any beneficiaries of the transaction.

Basically it’s too much of a hassle to do so businesses simply do not accept cash, so anything from paying for a Hotel stay to buying a Laptop isn’t possible without a mountain of paper work which means it’s impossible in reality.
I never had to quote those charts though. Instead the conversation went like this: “Hello boss, do you remember that fubar two months ago?” I even mention the concrete ticket number, and when the number alone makes my boss face twitch then I know i choose the right fubar. “We just merges a CI change. If that whole category of problems happens again we will know within the hour, instead of spending two weeks debuging.”

Its he same wisdom, but communicated in a more direct way.
Don’t want to downplay the government’s role in shaping the public opinion. But quick check shows that the number of internet users is well over 50%, which gives a good shot at winning at election if one decides to defeat the government.
I do vote for Republican local leaders. But, for national election, I do not support Trumpism and extreme-right wing agenda.

I'd vote for a center-right candidate that has basic qualifications and good speaking skills. That's how low the bar is. If they can talk without insulting someone, that's a start.
Show HN: Learn DNA Barcoding of Fungi from Home
They link indirectly to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1970887

Which has status "modified" (I guess that means "open"), and is blocked by a bunch of other open bugs that aren't viewable. So I guess the patches Qualys recommends would be bespoke, because it isn't fixed upstream.
And closed sourced projects.

And marketing prioritized over quality
They've trialed a couple darker bottomed satellites but they still left streaks across the images. If you get too black the satellites will need bigger heat management fins which can also catch light along with the solar panels.
Hi friends,

I'm Josh, the video creator and founder of EverymanBio. I created this video to show that it's possible to do real and meaningful genetic work in a less-than-ideal environment.

Although this video is focused on showing the process of "dna barcoding"[1] some wild fungi that I isolated from my local beach, it's the first of many that I'll be publishing to help folks get started with diy genetic engineering.

DNA barcoding provides a wealth of opportunity for gaining new skills and building out your lab. It's truly a great place to get your feet wet with learning cutting-edge biotech.

I hope you all find it helpful.

There's still a lot of macho resistance to using safe languages, because "I can write secure code in C!"

"You" probably can. I can too. That's not the point.

What happens when the code has been worked on by other people? What happens after a few dozen pull requests are merged? What happens when it's ported to other platforms with different endian-ness or pointer sizes or hacked in a late night death march session to fix some bug or add some feature that has to ship tomorrow? What happens when someone accidentally deletes some braces with an editor's refactor feature, turning a "for { foo(); bar(); baz(); }" into a "for foo(); bar(); baz();"?

That's how bugs creep in, and the nice thing about safe languages is that the bugs that creep in are either caught by the compiler or result in a clean failure at runtime instead of exploitable undefined behavior.

Speed is no longer a good argument. Rust is within a few decimal points of C performance if you code with an eye to efficiency, and if you really need something to be as high-performance as possible code just that one thing in C (or ASM) and code the rest in Rust. You can also use unsafe to squeeze out performance if you must, sparingly.

Oh and "but it has unsafe!" is also a non-argument. The point of unsafe is that you can trivially search a code base and audit every use of it. Of course it's easy to search for unsafe code in C and C++ too... because all of it is!

If we wrote most things and especially things like parsers and network protocols in Rust, Go, Swift, or some other safe language we'd get rid of a ton of low-hanging fruit in the form of memory and logic error attack vectors.
> A common view is that both sides in an economic transaction gain some sort of benefit.

Yes, assuming 0% force is involved and both agents are 100% rational. Just like spherical cow, the real world is not that simple.
it actually introduces many worlds

No, this is the misunderstanding that I'm talking about.

The extra "worlds" follow directly and exclusively from the existence of the various basis states in a wave function, and the laws of entanglement. No other postulates are needed.

Before the measurement/entanglement, the system and environment are independent, and can be written (|0> + |1>) ⊗ (|0> + |1>). After the entanglement, the wave function of the universe can no longer be factored that way, and the system and environment are in a joint state of |00> + |11>. The |00> and the |11> are the multiple "worlds", they show up— in both interpretations— whether you want them to be there or not.

Copenhagen doesn't want them to be there, so it says that one of the |00> or |11> goes away... at some point... because [waves hands and mumbles]. Many worlds merely declines to do this, and that is legitimately the only difference between the two.
I'm not so sure. Unless an EU citizen wants to risk submitting a false tax return under penalty of perjury, any DeFi money that results in a profit has to be reported elsewhere. Your bank will probably also start to ask questions if you do enough DeFi activity. You can probably get away with small transactions, but is it honestly worth the risk?

I don't see this law as impossible to enforce, but rather, difficult to enforce. The government will still try, and most likely succeed in catching several institutions that don't comply. Governments don't actually need thorough enforcement for laws to be effective.

Being easily capable of breaking a law does not mean that the law is unenforceable.
Yes. Worse things happen everyday in every hood in America.
At that point you would need to decide what ‘copying’ is, exactly. Making a terrible VHS recording of a TV show would still be considered copying by most, even if none of the relative pixels ever matched.
The only practical security is security through isolation, like what Qubes OS provides. Security through correctness is impossible.

A loan of that magnitude is a very sharp knife. Some people will injure themselves and it's inevitable. Some want people to injure themselves.
>Most people in this thread would be pretty upset if all tech companies got together tomorrow and decided to artificially cap salaries and bought politicians to enforce it.

Are you claiming that wages in the restaurant industry are kept artificially low because of companies artificially capping salaries, and that politicians are enforcing it? If so, is there a source for this? AFAIK the pay is bad purely because of market reasons (ie. there are more people willing to do it than there are positions).

I have gigabit now, and barely need it. It’s nice to have for the occasional large download, but otherwise it’s unnecessary. Even the latest ultra hd Blu-ray spec tops out at 128mb/s, and Netflix won’t give you more than 25. Can’t imagine what 10 gig would give you.
The explanation in the book is that neutron-star life is based on nuclear chemistry, whose reactions move much more quickly than our (electron-shell-based) chemistry, so everything happens much more quickly as a result.
