I haven't been on OkCupid in a long time. I think they first started publishing these data mining studies in maybe 2006? A lot of the old blog posts were purged after the Match purchase. I'm sure someone saved them off or they might still be on the wayback archive, but I don't even remember what the url for the blog was at this point and I doubt it's still even public. Your best bet at this point is probably just to read Dataclysm, the book Rudder ended up writing about all of his findings.
We don't even have to go through that situation. As soon as the delta reaches 30 minutes you just shift every timezone by one hour.
I usually side with the EFF, but here going at total war against cryptocurrencies seems right to me.

I don't see any scientific or technological application that could benefit humanity and would be developed from blockchain technology.

I tried very hard to figure out uses for the hash machines once the cryptocurrencies will disappear, but sadly I could think of none. All of this silicon, these PCBs, will just be junk.
I think it was the US TNT cable tv network that used to run a late night “100% Weird” movie block on Saturday nights that used a lot of clip art from this movie in their promo spots and actuality showed this movie one night - it was the first and only time I’ve ever seen it. It mostly triggers flashbacks to my own parents obsession with trying to get me to play the piano.

It’s really hard to find movies like this anymore, nobody bothers to stream them. If you know about them you can sometimes find them on Amazon but if you don’t know them I don’t know how you’d ever discover them.

There was one movie called Night Patrol which was a standard police farce movie except the main character (credited as “the unknown comic”) wore a paper bag over his head in every scene.

And all of the Trama Team movies from the 80s - Toxic Avenger, Surf Nazis Must Die, Rock ‘N Roll High School.

And the worst horror film ever -Student Bodies - which had an on-screen body count, helpful pointers to the fatal mistakes each character made before they died, and the main bad guy “The Breather” who would lose all his footwear every time he went up stairs because he’d constantly step in gum.

Even NetFlix doesn’t roll out gems like those.
That's a pretty poor definition, but many common ones are. For me the key component of terrorism is the terror part, it's the use of violence to intimidate a population.

So for example if you are targeting specific people or organisations, or infrastructure as targets due to their activities or capabilities then the goal is functional. You are trying to destroy or damage an asset or capability, any intimidation is incidental. Terrorism is where it's the fear itself that's the weapon.

Yep, that does mean some governmental operations count. Shock and Awe comes dangerously close, if the intended target of the S&A is a civilian population.
This is one of those movies that's guaranteed to amaze anyone you introduce it to, and it's so little known that you have plenty of opportunities to do so. This article doesn't even mention what I thought to be the most surreal scene, the roller skaters with the siamese beard. No further explanation needed, if that piques your interest you should watch the movie. It's one of those films that the entire time you watch it, you just think "How could they make this? Why would they make this? Was the world ever really so different that this seemed OK?" It will make you question if you can ever understand the way the world was before you were born.

"The torrent by which I was able to view the film, after all, beheld these download instructions: 1. eat lots of acid, 2. fire up in your favorite media player, 3. enjoy!"

I mean, that's the obvious choice, but proceed with caution.
> If you don't see the need for designing your FP system it probably mostly means it is being designed ad hoc rather than explicitly.

Why does FP seem to imply that things are designed ad hoc rather than with purpose? I've been working exclusively with FP codebases for the last 5 year, and all designs have been by identifying the domain model and implement it with purpose, with a plan.

> includes a lot of work in identifying domain model of your problem

FP does not exclude creating a domain model of your problem, discovering names and so on, not sure why you think so? Love to hear the reasoning behind this view you have.
> with Biden's approval ratings as high as they are

This is all off-topic, but in the interest of accuracy: according to 538's average of polls, Biden's approval rating is not that high, just 51%.

You get downvoted because the question is redundant. It's like asking who is paying for the next gen iPhone or whatever. You buy the product as is and when a new better generation of the same product comes out you don't get a free upgrade because you bought the old version.
> seems like leap seconds could be covered via a leap hour every 10k years or so.

The increase is quadratic. Without leap seconds, the difference will be an hour in 1000 years, but already a full day in 5000 years.

Tangential, but isn't it kind of weird that Copilot is a code generator and not a style-gann kind of code refactorer? That feels like a much easier task because you get to infer the intent of code from an existing example rather than from context alone.
Downloading a Python package (as done by scrapers, mirrors and security analysts) does not run setup.py. Only if the module is installed is this run.

It's analagous to downloading vs. running an executable.
Monoliths vs. services is like biologists arguing about cells vs. organs.
Perhaps they meant that new customers will (not) be paying for the upgrade of cars of old customers.
There are a lot of foot soldiers from many terrible episodes of history who I'm sure have your exact perspective.

Stream Deck for productivity is underrated. I don’t use it as much as I thought (I integrated KayboardMaestro entirely too late into my workflow), but it’s still handy.

I like having haptic interfaces, (perhaps too much).

Before a good keyboard tool, I occasionally ran in to keyboard shortcut collisions which produce odd outcomes.

Thanks for sharing this, I’ll have another look.
If you think about it, modern front end web development (with React + Redux) is event-driven! In a way, there are tons of people embracing it
Bigger site costs more, requires more fencing, more concreting, more wiring, more security staff and cameras, etc.

I expect someone did the maths and decided that the low (and probably insured) risk of a fire taking out two rather than one container outweighed additional concrete/fencing/land/wiring.
This teaches children certain skin colors are bad and automatically guilty because of their skin color. Anyone supporting it deserves to be hanged for treason. This is a UN agenda to divide an conquer nations with class warfare. Divide divide divide, obey us obey us obey us.
Having no instances of new or delete does not, in any way, prevent the entire class of memory vulnerabilities. Running off the end of a buffer when processing untrusted data is just as easy. Heck, you can still absolutely get UAF issues even if you never allocate on the heap simply by holding a reference to a stack allocated object past its lifetime. Given how weird the rules around lifetime extension are, this can happy is really really subtle ways.

C++11 is not a safe language. Not even close. It is much much much better than what came before, but it is not safe.

To be honest WireGuard over Shadowsocks is neither common nor recommended, coz essentially it's TCP-over-TCP which will wreak havoc on TCP congestion control.

Unless you mean WireGuard over Shadowsocks UDP transport, but that is even less common.

I never store CC deets anywhere, not even in a secure password manager vault. I typically manually type it out from the card, as I rarely use a CC (Every month or so I use it). I can see why automatically filling in CC info would be useful for people who use their CC a lot.

If I was using it a lot, I would use a non-browser password manager however, since browser secrets can be exfil'd via various means and I trust a non-browser password manager vault more.
Are you really intending to condone illegal activity? Just because their targeting "wealthy" companies? That is like condoning a mugger because he is working in a rich neighborhood and not targeting the impoverished.

It's precisely when people feel this way about things that large chunks of our civil liberties are forfeit.

Precedents: the war on drugs, crusades against porn, alcohol prohibition, the war on terror, mandatory minimum sentencing, etc.

It's a lynch mob mentality writ large and allows reckless legislators and police to gallop right over all kinds of civil boundaries that very much exist for a reason.

A much narrower set of solutions could address your concerns: a tax on proof of work mining, a ban on the sale of hardware whose sole purpose is cryptocurrency mining, or a ban on domestic exchanges converting money to/from cryptocurrencies that use high-resource proof of work mechanisms.

I see no reason to ban proof of stake or other consensus mechanism cryptocurrencies, and stepping up enforcement of existing KYC/AML regulations would help fight money laundering.

I also must point out that real estate, sham art auctions, sham investments and businesses, and numerous other mechanisms collectively account for the vast bulk of all money laundering. Cryptocurrency is a niche player. It's also a niche player in the street drug market where the vast majority of transactions use physical cash.

As far as bubbles and speculative manias go... it's legal for an adult to buy a lotto ticket (that is run by the state!) or go to a casino (permitted and regulated by the state). This is no worse. I might support raising taxes on short term speculative sorts of financial games, but those would also need to be applied to high frequency trading and speculative games run by hedge funds in conventional markets. Those are much larger than anything in crypto.

I say all this as a mostly cryptocurrency skeptic.
What does this question even mean? What does paying for mean in this context? Are you asking if Elon takes the cost out of his personal bank account? Or if they send every tesla customer a bill for new battery tech?

What is the difference between the customer or tesla paying?
Why? You could theoretically take out energy from the room in the form of electricity
Probably not a rational decision. I bet the guy just felt insulted and disrespected by the articles and decided to escalate the situation in an attempt to rectify that.
> But using events like this requires a very tight integration between event producer and consumer, so I don't think this will translate well to distributed systems or microservices.

Though I don't think tight integration between event producer and consumer is necessarily antithetical to microservice design. See the consumer-driven contract pattern, for example: https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/consumerDrivenContract...
Some of it. Because a sound analysis would throw FPs up too frequently, they make the logical decision to use an unsound analysis. This is helpful, but cannot prevent the entire class of issues.

I had left eBay some years before, but this would have made me leave the company with the CEO.
To fix would take some interesting work.

My dumb idea is 'must fit on no more than 5 standard sheets of 8x11 piece of paper'. With exceptions to that needing a 75% majority.

My other dumb idea is about 4 people mostly control the vote. Majority/minority leader should be a rotating position. With the name drawn out of a hat.

That's the wrong way to think about it. Nothing is 'better adapted' than anything else. Each is adapted to its own niche. And no accidents really - convergent evolution shows that similar ecological pressures very very often result in similar forms. Witness fish ("there's no such thing as a fish") or trees ("there's no such thing as a tree").

And that dinosaur comment - I don't know what to do with that. Dinosaurs only walked on two legs in internet memes? That's so far wrong I can't comment.
Either the customer or the investor. All of the current Tesla capital comes from the investors.

They've just started breaking even now, and it can take a while to cover all the past costs. As of the latest 10-Q the accumulated deficit (sum over all past earnings) is -$3.6B. The total capital raised from investors is well over $15B.
The difference is that the government can, at least in theory, be expected to be transparent.
I've been creating something akin to Minecraft creative mode in the browser since 2016: https://github.com/alanszlosek/voxeling. It all started when I found the VoxelJS project. The possibilities really hooked me so I forked it, learned a ton about WebGL, then started my own repo and rewrote nearly everything from scratch. I've been having a blast. There are endless opportunities for optimization (must maintain 60fps!), which is extremely rewarding to me.

Last year I started making videos showing the code and the improvements I've made: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGonE3T1sorRgdHNBGhpj...

That's just one of my projects, but the one I'm most proud of. Even if the code isn't conventional or pretty. :-)
How could they, when they don't know the origin of the code? Copilot would have to provide them with all the licenses of all of the projects that went into producing that particular snippet of code, and I'm pretty sure that's impossible beyond just listing every license every time.
I think it's a fair question - hardware companies have recalled and replaced dangerous components before.

I got a free replacement battery from Apple in the mid 2000's when they said that a batch of their batteries had a "small fire risk"...

If I'm being cynical, I guess it depends if their line is:

"the old battery is dangerous which is why we've changed the materials we use"

or

"we're changing the materials we use, and that has this interesting side effect that totally coincidentally fixes a dangerous issue with out old batteries"
Just distribute some checksum and/or parity files with the zip file and you should be good to go.
How do you know it doesn't?
This means reacting well to the news that an executive would like to move on.

What if the executive doesn't want to move on? I'm not talking about people who have vested and are ready to bolt, but those who have founded the business and want to grow it further ... but are now no longer wanted by the venture capitalists.

The post strikes me as something that a VC or appointed board member might show an inexperienced CEO or CTO before they get shown the door and are replaced by "professional management." Don't make a fuss, and accept our less-than-ideal severance terms. It's for the good of the company.
Even cheaper material converts electricity into heat!
It's been... interesting watching Tesla migrate from their more oddball technical decisions to using the same tech as the rest of the industry. LFP is a really conventional tech for stationary storage as well as vehicle applications with less demanding power-to-weight requirements. They also seem to have mostly switched from the AC motors that inspired their name to permanent magnet brushless motors like the rest of the car industry.
If WiFi printing is essential, then add it to your personal list of desired features. The point of the original feature list is to point out things that will save you money. The point of the anti-feature list is to point out things that vendors typically add-on to make their product more enticing yet don't necessarily add value.

Take WiFi printing. The typical WiFi router has ethernet ports. In that case a printer with an ethernet port is WiFi accessible, is typically easier to setup to be WiFi accessible, and is indirectly upgradable when WiFi security standards change. (The latter is important if a printer lasts 10+ years.)

It is also important to note the original desirable feature list can be modified. PCL emulation, rather than PS emulation, is typically fine. The point is to avoid printers where the drivers are vendor/model specific. USB only or USB/WiFi is fine, as long as you realize that network printing requires (or, at some future point, will require) setting up a print server.

Edit: also, I cringe slightly at the Brother recommendation. I use their printers and only have good things to say about them. Yet the important thing is to avoid the games many vendors play. There may be other vendors who don't play games. More important, there is nothing preventing Brother from playing games in the future.
I do my best to avoid proprietary software, but thanks anyway.

Ah, sure. Just making the distinction that you don't have to actually use a module within your code. That installing the module, even if you never use it in your own code, runs some of the code in that module.
New Opportunities for Space Companies
That sounds lovely in theory, but once you get to an exchange of value, you cross the line into taxable territory, and will have to exchange something for fiat currencies.

Sure, most minor barter transactions are ignored as de minimus, but that does not make it legal (i.e., not tax evasion).

So paying your neighbor for a loaf of her home baked bread with a wad of coupons for the local store (or Satoshis) is probably ignored because she is not an official business, but if you do the same at the store, or she grows to anything beyond casual home cooking, the store and your neighbor will need to pay both sales tax and income tax - in fiat - on those transactions.

Same goes for us trading anything large, say we barter my car for your boat (or a bunch of BTC, gold, gift cards or whatever), we'll have to pay taxes on the transaction, in fiat. And we may have the additional pleasure of needing to get an appraisal too.

So the idea that crypto currency could never touch fiat was never anything more than a lovely figment of the internet imagination.

Hopefully! Although I think "no clear evidence yet" isn't the same as "no problem". From the article itself there is a lack of clarity/conclusiveness:

"Children can experience SARS-CoV-2 postviral syndromes, but it is unclear to what extent these individuals are affected by long COVID"

We've been learning new stuff about COVID for 18 months now. I suspect we'll continue learning more about it for a long time to come. And I'm not keen to bet my kids' wellbeing on "it'll be fine" if I can avoid it (and they may yet catch it anyway - one can't wrap them in cotton wool).

Just saying - I prefer caution over complacency really.
> The global http network already encompasses all video-hosting sites.

So does the universe. I don't really think this is a relevant observation, given we're talking about user behaviour.

> if YouTube nodes ban your videos and you have to move to a less popular node, you're facing the exact same problem as you would getting banned from YouTube today.

Except users can move to KnockoffTube and still see YouTube videos. A school could use EduTube or ScholasticTube (hypothetical curated educational-resource sites) and not get recommended “video game unboxing” videos in the sidebar – and they wouldn't have to search on EduTube and ScholasticTube separately, because if something's on one it's on the other (modulo some minor curation decisions).

You could also solve this issue by curating search engines, but there are barriers to that; the idea of a search engine has been around for ages, and yet very few curated search engines exist. (Plus, you still have the “autoplay Flat Earth videos” issue, unless you proxy the video in your search engine, in which case congratulations! you've made a video platform.)
As far as I know, Keepa is not an Amazon affiliate. They used to be and got kicked out like many similar tools around 5 years ago.
