It's black market money. It's money for those who don't want to use the "real" (i.e. government issued) thing.

It's unlikely the Wachowskis would have asked for this, it's unethical and they are not bad people. They understand the value of art, both movies and martial arts.

I had the same thought about trust. For me even if you are not an expert in the scientific sense, some reasons why I should believe in this course would be good. Maybe you’ve tested it on X people and they have reported success, and have stories themselves that are convincing.

I didn’t find the voice monotonous and I like the clear instructions and advice.
I compiled and run an ethereum beaconnode on a raspberry 4.
How much is this helping the ecosystem ? Why is running a beaconnode which helps validators to find the next transaction faster not being supported by fees (however tiny they may be). There seems to be no incentive to run this at all ... or am I missing something ?

Telescope mirrors might be a nice setting for teaching a lot of interwoven physics and material science stories.

A lot of engineering is like that. I wonder how we might start systematically collecting and organizing such stories, for eventual use in education?
Just plain wrong. Sugar is also "poison", right? For every study that shows a negative effect from wine, you can find one that shows a benefit to mortality. Leave your vendetta against alcohol out of this - epidemiological studies in this area are very low quality and don't show causation in any way.
Cuba is a geographicly strategic location. It sits right in the middle of the Caribbean and makes up one side of each of the three choke points which allow shipping to/from the Gulf of Mexico US ports.

A hostile regime left on its own could become a major threat to the US economy by making traversal of those straits hazardous to US shipments. This is major commodities. Petrochemicals, agriculture, raw ore, fertilizer, etc.

There is always some political angle, but the adults in the room are generally aligned that Cuba needs to either be friendly or at least be impotent.

The title is wrong here Of the 740k is global not USA. And it represents 4% of all cases. Which is relatively low but not insignificant. I don’t think they are wrong, anecdotal evidence from my family also explains this, the family members who drink quite a lot more than 2 cups a day, they all have colon cancer in my family. Strangely those that do not drink have kept it at bay or at least got it 10/20 years later.
I think pitching it as « for exams » can be limiting. Though I understand you want to appeal to a niche at this early stage. Maybe have a landing page with the « ace your exams » hero that students might land on after a google search, and a home page that has a broader pitch?
Question 74 is kind of astonishing in a modern context. I mean, I suppose maybe the average soldier in the 40s didn't understand what the Nazis _were_ in the way they would now, but I'm surprised it needed to be addressed.

>> it's not about private files, it's about distributing content

The distinction between private files and distributed content is blurred-2-nonexistent, and Google Drive is not a neutral player in that process. The whole premise is that these are just sharing settings.

The premise of this service is that controlling your own files is passe, because content distribution, creation, consumption and need to work seamlessly.

Also, this isn't outside of the greater Alphabet complex. Even in social media, where they are a secondary player, they own Youtube... also premised on the sharing and distributing model.
So they outsource responsibility to a third party so that when the project fails it won't be the people that created it that will be blamed. It's simply amusing to read this stuff while they're trying to figure out what to do with the useless train line they kind of built.
I find this an embarrassingly entertaining read! I particularly like this bit:

“The French are not up-to-date. They’re not modern. They’re living in the past."

“… The World Almanac for 1945 concludes that as far as
social legislation is concerned, "France is in the vanguard" .. The French were certainly up-to-date in establishing old age pensions, compulsory insurance against illness, disability and death, maternity insurance, and so on. It was France that introduced the forty-hour work week.”

Clearly the author views theses social policies positively. I wander if that was what the average American thought back in 45.
I'm not sure why you think this. The films literally repurposed motion capture this way, by digitally replacing the faces of actors or rendering them in full CGI for stunts. Doing this would naturally require the studio to have the legal rights to reuse their captures in this way.
The Matrix actors' mocap was also repurposed for use in an official tie-in video game.
> Firstly, this is a content policy, this is separate from actual enforcement. I would doubt that google enforces this proactively, rather they want a possibility to shut down what has now been dubbed 'fake news'.

Discretionary enforcement power is part of the problem, not a mitigating factor. The policy itself simply gives them carte blanche to remove content with which they disagree:

> When applying these policies, we may make exceptions based on artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific considerations, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content.

Even if we give Google the benefit of the doubt and grant that initial enforcement could be judicious, wise, and a net positive for society (pretending like "a net positive for who?" is an easy question to settle), "substantial benefits to the public" is not a limiting principle.

History has taught us that without real, adversarial constraints, this power will always be mishandled and abused. Eventually, Google will make mistakes. In their zeal to prevent misinformation and harm, they will bury a promising drug therapy and it will cost lives. They will disallow evidence of a crime, and they will make exceptions that happen to benefit their biggest markets.

They have the right to do this, but it is surely wrong for us to delegate our judgement to them.

" the entire world watched in horror at the events of January 6th, a direct attempt to “seize control over free societies”. (Admittedly a poor attempt at it though)"

Ask the rest of the world before you speak in their name. From the other side of the puddle, Jan 6th was a poorly executed riot that was mildly interesting mainly because of the obvious kooks (such as the Shaman) and their outlandish clothing. Don't try to repaint it as a surrogate coup just because polarized American society yearns for Big Defining Events. There is nothing to yearn for.
And historical coups, even the unsuccessful-but-plausible ones look very, very different. Usually a lot more bloody, too.

But as far as Ministry of Truth goes, I am with you. Whatever institutions people build, they should imagine them in hands of their worst enemies.

C++ still has goto despite also having RTTI. One just need to restrict a bit where we can jump.

Yes, the slim -DNKE NUCs do fit into 1U, three of them next to each other; you can find mounts like these to do that: https://www.myelectronics.nl/us/nuc-minipc-19-rackmount-kit-.... If you have 3U to work with, you can fit 12 of them.

For the thick (-DNHE) NUCs, you either need 1.5U for three of them, or you can fit 8 of them into 3U.
That's not that much different than C. C's goto is already limited compared to the actual jump instruction because you can't cross function boundaries because of the restrictions C puts on you.
That doesn't coincide with the amount of kids that are hired in the military.
There's also an excerpt from the NYT in there, number 33.

"Offended" would be my suggestion. "Triggered" is only really used in this sense as part of bad faith culture war discourse, mocking the idea of trigger warnings.

In light of Superfish bundled by Lenovo [1], one realizes HTTPS is at the mercy of ANY of the myriad certificate authorities trusted by your browser.

Instead of your browser complaining when a certificate fails for a given site, it keeps looking for another, valid certificate. How's that for a security model?

Why is Hongkong Post a trusted institution of my browser? I don't want Hong Kong to MITM my communication with any other site.

I dunno. I've had two initial interviews with two different companies in the same short spane of time, where I mentioned that I was trying to gradually adopt functional programming in my Typescript codebases, using fp-ts ecosystem. In both of those interviews they immediately navigated there and noticed that the latest commit in the repository was mine. Even though I immediately told them that it was a minor documentation issue and I don't have major open source contributions (my most popular repo has about 15 stars, so I'm a pretty below-or-average developer in that regard), they still seemed impressed.
It's prejudice vs logic and wisdom.

The humble goto is highly efficient. There is no software of any significance that doesn't use them. Even if the programmer doesn't use them, the compiler will.

At the lowest, most efficient level of computer code, it is about the only way to create a loop.

All that being said, I wouldn't recommend it for routine use when easier, more readable alternatives are available.

I've developed a pretty strong aversion it's true. To the point where being high doesn't feel nice anymore.

I also know two people with PhDs who smoke, they are the kind that limit themselves to smoking in the evening. But then I also know at least 4 people in their late twenties who prefer weed and gaming over getting a job. Both groups are the exception.

Most of my friends still smoke so I'm fine with it, but I'm 100% convinced that people who try to legitimize it as some sort of productivity thing, and try to sell weed usage as anything other than "I like how it makes me feel", are lying.

Though judging from the other comments here maybe I'm just wrong. Maybe it's because I like to do stuff like maths and programming in my free time which is absolutely impossible while high.

Kinda like building your own cruise ship and race to the North Pole against other people who built their own ships

Also kinda like a politician creating their own political party and gathering consensus bit by bit up until one day it has 3/4th of the seats and the founder is elected President/Prime Minister

Zuckerberg is exactly this profile, he turned down so much money for FB in the early days, and kept turning down money up until he turned down spectacularly 1 Billion in cash. There was no way Zuck was gonna hand the helm of the ship to somebody else and be helicoptered back to mainland. He was determined to remain at the helm and reach the North Pole, which in fact, he did.

Same for Bill Gates, he only gave up the helm when the US Govt. threatned to essentially bomb and blow up Microsoft's ship.

"mighty big stretches" are actually fairly common. Ever been in hostile contact with, say, law enforcement?

Marijuana in the US is federally banned because the Supreme Court ruled (in Gonzales vs. Raich [0]) that planting cannabis privately for your own use can have impact on interstate trade and thus is a matter for the Feds. If this isn't a mighty big stretch, then what?

And if SCOTUS can do that, Google can do that as well.

Looking for Advice. APL or Smalltalk?
Hello,

i have been lurking some posts on here about APL and smalltalk, and thought maybe it would be appropriate to ask this question here. I am a new programmer with no CS degree, and want to do it mainly for fun. I have been interested in smalltalk and APL. i have tried both and i find smalltalks OOP a bit confusing, where APLs code and its "mastering dyalog APL" very easy to follow and understand. Now just becuase i find smalltalk a bit confusing doesn't mean i want to give up on it. I also want to add I do not have a strong math background(I was that stupid kid in high school who is smart but thought going to the hidden corner of the school with "Friends" and smoke some reefer was a better idea, instead of attending class). Which one should i continue to learn?
Just wanted to chime in from the supposed 1% as someone who isn’t running a business earn money but earn money in order to continue running the business. A business building something I’m passionate about, with the addition of an end goal I expect will make the world a better place.
> Konqueror got discontinued

Do you have a reference for this? Konqueror appears to be alive and well from a quick search. I ask because I use Konqueror from time to time and I have not seen or heard anything about it being discontinued. Latest release was a week ago and the git repo appears active.

But what I found particularly useful about my hacked-up setup is that every card is contextualized: if I need a refresher for the content of a card, I can revisit the location (website/pdf) for it.

Probably most of those who voted for Roosevelt in 1944 and some others who voted for Dewey for other reasons. The results of Roosevelt's New Deal led to a comparatively wide support of social policies in the US for decades.

" Some platforms might have a no nudity policy, some have a zero trolling rule. Others call fair game to all of the above. "

If this all came with a duty of interoperability, I would be fine with that. But walled gardens that do their utmost to make leaving them really unpleasant and possibly expensive to the users ... that sounds a lot like coercion. And European law usually recognizes that individuals coerced, even softly, by large businesses, need protection.
It just appears that there's multiple truthful answers to that question since you haven't fully defined what the word "best" means.

If you rigorously define what you mean by that word in this question, then there will be one and only one answer.

Of course, whether we're capable of finding that answer is a separate question.

For many people - when they already have a lot of money - it becomes boring. That thing billions spend their daily lives chasing after is boring for those who have so much of it they don't know what to do with it. For them, what gets them out of bed in the morning is the prospect of using power in fun or interesting ways. In this case, perhaps the power to change the world.

true, but would it be wrong to assume that the following ratio:

(the number of people who are passionate about xyz and curiosity and pure joy are major driving forces) / (total number of people working in xyz)

is probably much higher for cs than for plumbing?
Think through your last two paragraphs. Yeah, people that feel good are probably going to be more productive than those feeling bad (assuming you're not feeling too good).

I can't do the stuff you're talking about when I'm not high (or couldn't) because I couldn't stop anxiety and other issues from getting in the way. Weed liberates me from that.

I have friends that hate weed, friends that become different people while high. It's just how it is, not for everyone, though I do prefer delta-8 way more than regular cannabis, not as intense of a high, much more about the focus.
Most humans are inherently closed to disruptive ideas that challenge their basic world view.

It may be a survival trait, in fact. Not all of us are brilliant mavericks, so we have to rely on group think and past practices. Some disruptions are indeed harmful and must be suppressed firmly for the good of the species, for example inbreeding with siblings and parents.

What's happening right now with the attempted suppression of "hate speech" and "dangerous misinformation" is a classic imposition of majority consensus on a restless, information-empowered population.

It is an attempt to regain control. Never before have humanity had so much decentralized power to disseminate information; anyone can quickly and easily put their ideas out to a vast audience.

Probably a certain amount of control is necessary to maintain order, but obviously, how much is still up for debate.

The suppression of innovation that you have outlined is likely a small fraction of the total. How much might we have advanced, had these people's ideas not been suppressed? How much human suffering might have been averted?

Or would we have merely developed the tools to destroy ourselves and our world that much sooner?
