I wonder if hiding it under the eraser secondary menu was an intentional way to get kids to talk with each other and share the "secret."
I always appreciate when companies take the time to focus on performance. Performance optimizations aren't as flashy as new features and senseless UI refreshes, but they save users time and probably also increase the amount of time users can stomach using the software in any given day.
Just read the comment below yours. People actually believe that there is something qualitatively different about gender with respect to the job.

‘The world would be better if women ran it’ or ‘The world would be better if men ran it’, none of these beliefs use objective criteria, yet it is one of the more dominant themes in the current zeitgeist.
I had an SGI Indy on my desk, back in 1997 or so. Definitely a fun machine. I remember the web cam, and doing full video conferencing (and bandwidth hogging most of a T1!)
Think of it this way, if another company announces they're planning to buy a publicly traded company, what happens to the value of the shares?

The price goes up, you've just made it more expensive for yourself to take over the network.

If you were to attempt to take over you'd be better to do so in silence. However, it would be hard to hide that kind of control and wealth when every information on the network is publicly available.
> unvaccinated covid cases will get zero health insurance coverage

Most unvaccinated are probably already without health insurance. Vaccination essentially follows socio-economic status, and has the lowest density in blacks and hispanics.

Going door-to-door, or "vaccination buses", or things of the line might help.
Such an excellent example of whataboutism! You have no interest in accepting any BBC version of events because you prefer comfortable confirmation bias from blogs and the twitterati?
Think of it this way, take a regular, legal set of adult pornographic pictures. While legal, we'd still classify this set of pictures as known porn if we were tracking it.

Now the first few images might be the model completely clothed and not even be porn, maybe there's a picture of her lounging around a pool, then another picture of the pool itself. Still its part of a set of pictures that is known porn.

Heck most porn starts off with actors being clothed (so I hear lol).
>They were much more measured and careful than the idiots who arrived after the 1500s

I doubt it. There just weren't nearly as many of them.
> Money can't buy happiness

No but not having enough will make you unhappy, and keep you trapped there.
>Another aspect of this is 51% attacks are recoverable for PoW, but are a permanent takeover condition for PoS networks. If a single entity ever accumulates more than half the tokens on a PoS network, they are unassailable.

This is not true. PoS has many design flavours and the one Ethereum is planning on implementing includes random selection of validators and the amount staked has no influence on the inclusion or the vote "weight".

Also with PoS an attacker will always incur economic losses similar to having your mining rig burning down if you were to try to foce a bad block through. In PoW networks attackers can keep on mixing attacks with producing normal blocks and remain profitable
They're just saying our legal system doesn't try to consistently create justice.
I think that's the point of the above comment.
At that time, the most common way to do stereo enhancement was to decrease the L + R component of the stereo signal. [0] L+R/L-R was (and still is) a common way to encode stereo signals, including for FM radio. [1]

The impact on the stereo field by just changing the mix of these two components is profound. No signal delay needed.

For signals that are simple L and R, sum them to get L+R and difference to get L-R. So you can use this technique on any stereo source.

What kind of question is it?

What our feline friends do when we’re not looking - they are ruling the world!
That’s not actually true though. Impeachment is a political process, not a judicial one. An executive can be impeached for whatever the legislature feels like according to rules that the legislature itself sets.

Historically officials have been impeached for such things as drunkenness and “intemperate speeches” (racist rants). If the legislature wanted to, he’d be gone in 30s flat.
Yeah, what specifically is causing the issues with handover? Lack of information transfer seems like the obvious issue which being very exhausted could be responsible for.

I mean, who's to say that my hash is actually what they think it is...

...and if it's not uploaded to iCloud for someone to manually review what the image is, is that going to be enough to get a search warrant for my phone?

"AUSA SOMEONE: But, Your Honor, The Defendant's phone has an image that matched a hash of a CSAM picture!"

"DEFENDANT: I'm not going to give you my phone's password."

"THE COURT: Bonk: Stay in jail for contempt."

I understand why they're doing it. I don't agree with it. At all, and I say that as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
Democratic Republic = Dictatorship
It's clear that a large portion of the USA will never get vaccinated, so we should be sending our vaccines to people who want them instead of letting them go to waste here.
Read the article.

It mentions in multiple places that climate change is increasing the duration of the forest fire season and worsening conditions that promote wildfire.

The point of the article is that outcomes of poor forestry management practices (a build up of fuel that lead to truly enormous wildfires when they finally burn) were bad enough, and now climate change is dramatically exacerbating those effects.

As a result, changing our forestry management practices to adopt controlled burns, thinning, and other techniques, will be a critical element of climate change adaptation.

That's not to say we shouldn't stop CO2 emissions as quickly as possible to avoid even worse future effects. But we've already warmed the globe enough that adaptation is already necessary, and this is just one example.
I have a different experience. My normie family and friends don't want a private company to access private media at all. Tech-illiteracy is no question of education and intelligence. This is a topic that is comparable to home searches.

Still good to keep up the pressure on public officials. That any interior minister is very happy about that doesn't have to be excused. Anyone else should be more like French people.

No, but we expect people who are trained in a certain area of expertise to have well-informed opinions on issues within that area of expertise. We don't ask phlebotomists which vaccines we need. That would be silly. We do ask our doctors that question, and they nearly all say we should get this vaccine and the vast majority have received it themselves.
>We should hope to evolve to a system where violent coercion is replaced by communication and consent.

Kind of thing that happens when you let people do what they want without reprecussions.

> It seems rather unprecedented that there are currently US citizens who are billionaires because of their crypto holdings,

Perhaps, but it’s not as common as it sounds. Maybe there are people out there who invested $33,000 into Bitcoin when it was $1 and then didn’t sell a single penny as it rose and crashed multiple times, but the number of people achieving billionaire status without starting out with tens of millions invested is going to be quite small.

Also, once you pass a specific threshold of wealth it doesn’t pay to flout the rules and risk increasing consequences. Famous and wealthy people have gone to prison for tax evasion in the range of millions of dollars. Trying to dodge taxes to remain a billionaire instead of paying the relatively small capital gains taxes wouldn’t be a rational move.

Anyone sitting on huge amounts of crypto worth has likely hired teams of lawyers to cross every t and dot every i to stay in full compliance rather than put their windfall at risk for some irrelevant level of taxation.
When you read those things last year, did they come with an ironclad guarantee? No? Some sort of contract? No?

Were those statements published in a book titled "Pure and Incontrovertible Truths" or were they, like all human knowledge, subject to learning and changing? No?

That's because the universe is a complex place that humans don't have all the answers for.

I like that science gets better and better. I mean, feel free to put dung and leeches on your open wounds -- because that's how it USED to be, darnit! -- I'll stick to antiseptics and antibacterial ointments. And when science figures out something better and proves it, we'll use that!

What you get depends a lot on where you're looking - it's true that there's a lot of this clickbaity entrepreneur writing that's light on details on heavy on storytelling, but there's also a lot of great content about entrepreneurs out there.

My advice is to stop reading blog posts and articles, and start getting into content that goes deeper. Listen to the podcast How I Built This - it does a better job of going deep and addressing both failures and successes. Read books - stories of businesses like Shoe Dog by Phil Knight are great, and even if they're autobiographical and thus destined to be slanted to the positive side of things, they still have a lot of real info to dig into.

Finally found the text of the amendment:

https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Wyden%20Lummis%...

The amendment is short and explicitly notes that that the following categories do not count as brokers:

(A) validating distributed ledger transactions

(B) selling hardware or software for which the sole function is to permit a person to control private keys which are used for accessing digital assets on a distributed ledger, or

(C) developing digital assets or their cor- responding protocols for use by other persons, provided that such other persons are not cus- tomers of the person developing such assets or protocols.
FWIW re your last two paragraphs:

I think you're reading too much into the small town newspaper editorial.

"Bradford Road" is how you describe the road they lived on, in a small town paper.

Scarsdale NY is a wealthy suburb in Westchester County, with a large Jewish population.

"Solomon Schechter" (your redaction) is a private school in Manhattan named after an important rabbi. Censoring his name is confusing. Are you concerned that readers here will think you are reacting negatively to her family's (presumed) religious affiliation?

Small town editorial is chummy and insular, but it's not written for a larger audience. I don't see anything unusual or inappropriate in the writing here.

I feel that you missed the most egregious problem with the article though. It was posted in 2016, and almost five years later, no one has corrected the misspelling of the name of the town!
Vaccines decrease your chance of bad COVID from one small number to another 10x smaller number. "Getting the virus", even if almost certain, isn't something most people have to worry about. Bad COVID is a worry, getting the virus, no.

This is certainly wrong. There were wildfires in California before global warming was noticeable.

That might not be due to memory management - a lot of my work is in Go and Java, selling very high demand inventory to millions of people (opening night movie tickets across tens of thousands of screens and shows across the entire country) and the APIs are not slow and do not (noticeably) GC pause. But both Go and Java / JVM allow people to do high-value work without worrying about memory management (other than leaks of course). No allocations, free / release, no pointer arithmetic. Even the concept of pointers in Go isn't actual memory addresses but value/reference semantics. The only time I came close to having to manage memory was iOS apps, but then ObjectiveC added ARC and Swift came along, so nope.
I don't think crypto can be blocked at this point - there will always be a communication channel for sharing blocks. Hell, it could be done via SMS messages if necessary.

They can significantly hurt the price but limiting reputable shops from accepting it though.
So much for their claim "The truth is out there.".
It's surprising how much you can offer to customers for a once-off £50 when you don't have VCs/investors breathing down your neck.
It's the difference between saying "our system cannot handleyour name" and "your name is wrong". One is a limitation of a program, the other is dehumanizing.
My opinion: Don't do it.

You will be shooting yourself in the foot. Start looking for another job instead.
In a public company, though, having been taken over doesn't defeat the purpose of the company.

If you're intentionally trying to take things down, sellers have a huge incentive to not be left in the 49% who hold something that's now lost its value - as you say, "as it's become evident you've taken over the network the value of the network is essentially worthless." I think you could get the value to go to worthless well before actually hitting 51% on intent alone, if you're a big enough power.
congrats and best of luck! really happy to see pakistani startups getting in through yc.

Couple of questions:

It's hard to gather ground truth data in Pakistan. How did you go about gathering/verifying data?
The western greed might actually backfire. What are the chances that if we let the virus spread unchecked in the poorer countries for a few more years, the virus accumulates more mutations on the spike protein making the existing vaccines ineffective?
That article doesn't support your assertion:

This is not a minor thing. The KYC stuff can effectively _ban cryptocurrency_ and some are trying to get an exception for _bitcoin only_. This is the equivalent of banning all computers that came out in the last five years.
It’s kind of amazing how valueless the word “cancel” is, given that it now covers everything from becoming unemployable to being criticized.

I find it particularly dumb in this context. This isn’t about “cancelling” or legally prosecuting Cuomo, it’s about deciding whether or not he is fit to continue to wield executive authority on behalf of the people of New York. You can decide that someone isn’t worth “cancelling”, whatever the fuck that means, and still decide that they shouldn’t be the governor of your state.

No. The number of times I've needed a medevac flight is approximately zero. It's not like Fiji has no healthcare for routine issues (not to mention that Larry Page can easily afford to fly doctors in from anywhere on a private jet). Obviously, a medevac flight indicates something more serious, and probably unexpected.

Modern healthcare requires administrators to deal with finance, facilities, IT, compliance, HR, etc. Most hospitals can probably trim a little admin waste but it's not going to solve the fundamental systemic problems. In nonprofit hospitals that take a lot of uninsured and Medicare / Medicaid patients there's still going to be a lack of revenue no matter how they slice the pie. Real solutions will require realigning incentives at the state and federal government levels.

They weren't exclusively talking about Esperanto. I read it as a reference to Kinyarwanda and Catalan more than anything else. In the bigger scheme of things there are a lot of languages here that are definitely a product of being able to share your own language.

Anyway you slice this problem it just sounds like hospitals aren’t hiring enough employees. Sure maybe transitions produce errors but then I’d argue you had overlapping shifts where your prior carer was transitioned to a new one over a period of hours.

Very melodramatic, but inaccurate. The American portion of the New World offered significantly higher hourly wages for unskilled labor than the industrial heartland of Europe, by the late 1800s.

And these wages grew at record rates all through the latter decades of the 1800s, in the midst of the largest influx of penniless workers in US history (causing the foreign born portion of the US population to reach 15% by 1890).

That wages grew as fast as they did, with such a massive increase in the supply side of the supply and demand equation for labor, is testament to the opportunities that the principal nation of the New World was generating.

Civil is a lower bar than criminal so removing QI and and making the officers personally (in reality they'll all just buy insurance like doctors do, some do this already) is simply a step in the right direction (equality under law being said direction).

If you aren't found to be on the hook by a civil court you basically can't be found guilty by a criminal one (barring very specific statutes or legal precedents that are relevant to the facts in question).

Ethereum is currently decentralized because of the initial POW distribution. Won't there be centralized aggregators of eth so some point in the future a handful of POS nodes control a disproportionate amount of power?

>if we let the virus spread unchecked in the poorer countries

It's spreading unchecked now in the USA because people are refusing the vaccine. The scenario you describe is absolutely going to happen, but it won't be because of poorer nations, it will be because of selfish people in rich nations.
