This was Poly Network, not Polygon, that got hacked.

From my understanding:

Polygon (formerly MATIC) is a token related to (built off?) ethereum.

Poly Network was a bridge layer that spanned polygon and ethereum.

Polygon and Poly Network are distinct entities as far as I can tell, but they are all overlapping and using each other, so I don't fully understand the distinction.

> Second, the Genesis story is Jewish, and predates Christianity by at least five if not ten centuries.

This is silly. Its shared by a number of religions since abrahamic religions generally have a common root.
Thanks. This report then is mostly meaningless. If 2000 people moved for one state compared to 50000 for another state, and the percentages are close - how would I know that?

I want to see number of people moving in and out. That's good information. Percentages without magnitude are just confusing noise.
Well, I wasn't able to push to one of my repositories, even though I tried many times. So it was effectively out for me, not "degraded". Partial Outage, like what the status grid said, seems much more accurate.

But this goes beyond just this particular case. Remember when half the internet was down because of an AWS issue? Yet they still said "degraded performance" or similar.

> does not mean laws and courts no longer exist. You can steal someone’s bitcoins by hacking their wallet but you can still be ordered by a court to pay it back and/or face jail time.

I'm not aware of any court that would, for example, jail a Chinese citizen who stole virtual money of a US citizen? Are you?
A project worth 600million usd is obscure?
Sure. Let's ask for something easier, then; let's only have free stuff which is already in abundance. We aren't living on a remote island; we are living in a society which already has lots of extra stuff which could be given away for free.

For example, how can an all-you-can-eat restaurant stay in business if they let everybody eat as much as they (rationally-economically) want to eat, and labor has to be paid? If food is abundant, then the cost of each individual patron's meal is negligible and it becomes a question of whether enough people come through the door to pay for labor.

Coal is used in (some) peaking power plants that only turn on during a surge of demand for electricity. Some also use natural gas. It's easier to spin them up/down and can deal with the strain of being used intermittently.
How do you know it was unintended?

Just because one side says so?

Because that side has a big brand name?

That is exactly what I mean with "Whoever has the highest reputation is right".

The initial promise of crypto was the opposite: That the little Joe has the same rights as the big guys. Because code is law. And code does not care about the budget of your legal department and your marketing department.
Yeah they add a nice touch - might start inserting them in my mental models going forward.
Yep! All dependencies etc. are cached locally on a build machine so everything's deterministic.
Thanks, that's an interesting video.
I feel for you. I had the exact same thing happen.
Is it any different from "manage website data" in Safari? I use it to make sites forget about me.
It's legitimate to the extent in which the big tech ads positively increase awareness of your product. It's illegitimate to the extent where big tech acts like a gatekeeper effectively preventing all other ways for random people to discover your product. You can no longer just put your product in a rack in a store or in a lemon stand and expect people to see it, in online world it has to go through their paid channels. The lock-in effect is real. E.g. in the tourist sector, restaurants no longer can rely on tourists randomly passing by, here in europe tripadvisor makes or breaks their business. Only exceptional products can create word of mouth, and customer attention is limited. I think the profitability of these companies relies more on the gatekeeping effect

We have to ask ourselves if that makes sense. Are the products that are being marketed heavily so much better than their competitors? Is a world of dropshipping generic rebranded products progress? In the end will any competition survive, or just monopolies?
It's lacking features.

You could argue that paper money lacks the features of bitcoins so it's easier to lose your funds inadvertently with bitcoin.
I can't imagine that borders would prevent this kind of dumps.
They're just called "Widgets in Notification Center" now. Agreed that Dashboard was more useful, if I could put the new widgets in an overlay instead of the sidebar I would.
> Degraded performance is what it says. Things that took 20s are currently taking 60s. Things that took 60s are now taking 180s. Things are going slower. Maybe by a constant factor. Maybe exponentially.

It wasn't a performance issue though. It was literally just plain not working. This is the error I got when trying to push:

Not after 10s, 30s, 60s -- instantly, every single time.

>contravenes the deliberate & elegant simplicity that something like an OS distribution used to represent

That simplicity is also the root cause of an incredible amount of issues. Want to install a program that needs a different library version than is already installed? Well, too bad, guess you'll have to manually patch it (assuming the source code is even available). And there's countless such stories, 'dependency hell' is still an issue to this very day for dynamically linked libraries. Docker and the like didn't come into existence for no reason but because the experience of simple package managers is just not adequate.

Now, dynamic libraries on their own aren't at fault of course. If more complex package managers like Nix were common this wouldn't be an issue, but simplicity 'won', so static linking it is.

I think they're being a bit careful with the wording. They are noting a false positive rate, not accuracy. One way to get there would be to only report images with 99.999999% confidence. This would obviously not report a lot of stuff that is actually illicit material too.
I remember Sam Altman, when asked “How will you make money?”, reply they would ask the AI. I thought it was a fairly creative answer.

It turns out, however, that the way they plan on earning money is much less creative, and more run-of-the-mill SaaS monetization. In a way, I like to believe that a real AI would also end up with such a mundane strategy, as it’s the most likely to actually make them profitable and return money to investors.
It's a bit more complicated than that. Schengen had a lot more effect on the border checks for people than it did on the border checks for goods, which were next to non-existent already.

It depends a lot on the mode of transportation. The Seattle employee referenced in the article may commute by ferry, which is about as relaxing of a commute as possible. The Seattle ferries are very nice; you can sit in a booth and eat breakfast and read the newspaper. Here's a photo of what it looks like: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/01/travel/vashon-island-near.... I'd totally be willing to do that for an hour every morning and evening.
Yep, but there will be no variance in timing from the end user's perspective (regardless of what payload they send to E3) because neither encryption results nor timing data get returned to the end user.
Think bigger. Say I'm starting a startup:

1. "Setup Django, Nginx, and Postgres deployed on a Digital Ocean Ubuntu droplet." Done.

2. "Make a shopping page like $URL." Done.

3. "Fill it with data from X and connect with Stripe." Done.

4. ???

5. Profit

Seems like even a great dev will take 20x the time to do that if the model is able to correctly generate this, even with an error, customization, or two.
> Should they not try and spot-optimize common cases where they can, just for the sake of predictability? No, I don't think so. And so I don't know what the answer is. I just often (and even more so when I was new to it) find myself surprised by Rust's general-rules-that-actually-have-notable-exceptions. Though who knows, maybe it's just not possible to make a language this powerful that doesn't run into this problem.

I think the industry as a whole has already accepted "try to optimize common cases on a best-effort basis, at the cost of unpredictable performance cliffs in unusual cases" as the default paradigm.

From multi-tiers JITs, auto-vectorizing, all the way down to branch prediction, source code is a leaky abstraction. If you don't care about performance, you still get the benefits most of the time. If you do care, then you need to peel back the abstraction and have a good understanding of what the compiler/JIT/CPU does behind the scenes.
Yes, and even more ironically, thats precisely the problem. Because it makes mass sweeping of client side content viable --- both technically and morally--- in a way never possible before. The only thing stoping scanning of the entire phone for anything, now that Apple built the technical capability, is Apple's willingness and ability to resit pressure from the US, UK, China, and others to use it.

The difference is that when the borders were still up illegal goods movements were detected more frequently, but most of this waste movement is and was perfectly legal under EU single market rules. The 'four freedoms' explicitly spell this out.

Of course emotions are involved. That isn't inherently bad.
Do you actually have reason to doubt it here? Because cynical skepticism isn't a helpful alternative to genuinely doing our best to understand and correcting course when better data is available.
They propose steering a very large rock around the solar system to transfer momentum from Jupiter to Earth. The point is to increase the orbit of Earth to accommodate the brightening of the Sun over the next 10^9 years. So it's a long term global warming mitigation project.

If the rock is big enough to do the job, the tides, earthquakes and volcanism around perigee could be inconvenient. Also, the power to set the gimbals on the rock is the power to extinguish the planet, and what organization could stay incorruptible for 10^9 years?

No, "gravitationally binding" is not a thing that you can do by connecting things via railways. Over the long distances, the railways would be torn apart by expansion.

If you could drastically increase the mass of the local group, then you could increase the range at which gravitational attraction to it was dominating, but it would require seriously increasing the mass of the local group.

While I understand how inflation may, in theory, be something that could change with some breakthrough in economics (even though I don't buy that inflation is actually a problem, or that cryptocurrencies represent such a breakthrough), I have no idea how they would be of help fighting "corruption and bad governance".

Which is the problem with that community: they seem to have these extremely naive yet cynical view of politicians just being "stupid", money being wasted, everyone being corrupt etc. And that, somehow, their funny little hashes are the silver bullet to solve these issues.
There are defi(lol) swappers you can use. The hacker was using curve.fi, the tipster was actually telling the hacker why his transaction to curve wasn't going through.
Yes, but loopholes in law still allow something to happen until the law is fixed.
I phrased this glibly for comedy value, but this is not a silly problem; it is part of the "Oracle problem" and it imperils the entire fundamental value prop of defi.

If it's not clear why, consider: what keeps defi from implementing gambling (or as it's known in the financial world, "options trading") on real-world data outcomes, like stock prices? Answer: that data isn't programmatically available on the blockchain. You can make a smart contract that depends on the closing price of ETH, but not AAPL.

So, what if it were? What if someone decided to publish AAPL's closing price to a ledger somewhere? Then people could make a smart contract that effectively implements options trading against AAPL stock, right? In theory, yes. But in practice, the people that trade options will say, "How can we trust that you won't screw up, get hacked, get bribed, go out of business, etc? Every dollar we entrust to a smart contract that relies on your data is a prize to be won by the first person to find a way to subvert your service's data integrity."

And they'll be right. There are lots of people trying to find fancy solutions to this problem, but to my knowledge we're no closer to a real solution than we were the day Ethereum went live.
But I imagine the reason exchanges are refusing these transactions is at least half because they would be receiving stolen property. I'm not sure but I don't imagine "I'm receiving property stolen from another country" will stand up as a defense in any court.

Actual title is "The controversy over Apple’s plan to protect kids by scanning your iPhone"

Please use the original title or a derivative. This subject is enough of a hot-button issue here without adding fuel to an already incendiary fire with clickbait. The claim that Apple's iOS5 will also scan iPhone messages is not supported by the article.

Say in a hypothetical world, Epic Wins Apple vs Epic lawsuit, would that allow all kinds of apps to be sideloaded to all hardware? Does this mean we would be able sideload apps on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Wii U, PSP etc legally? Would that mean we could sideload Steam and Epic stores on Playstation ? Would it mean we could run Ubuntu Linux as a sideload on Xbox and PlayStation? Would all this be possible or am i imagining and dont understand the case?
As opposed to for instance the USA's internal border policies?

EU countries are closer now to US states than to independent sovereign entities when it comes to the movement of goods and people. This is by design, not by accident and there is nothing naive about it, it's a founding principle of the EU.
NixOS hardlinks the /nix/store so there isn't much redundancy unless you are actually using packages that need completely different dependency versions. My system is currently at 13G but that could be optimised a bit & seems comparable to how much Archlinux used with the same packages installed.

Archlinux isn't much better when it comes to storage efficiency. Arch does not seperate out documentation and development libraries from the main package so there is quite a bit extra stuff in a lot of packages.

Valve can do a lot of things to save space like disable or delete the Pacman cache after every install. They could build their own repos/packages that stripped out documentation and development libraries.

Overall compared to the size of many games, the storage overhead of Arch or Nix is pretty minimal. At Valve's scale either can & probably will be tweaked to take up <10GB. I guess I forgot that the base model's storage is only 64GB. It makes me wonder if they are going to have optimised game downloads with lower resolution textures; many games would use ~10% of the space if the texture's were optimised.
FWIW, I wouldn't recommend trying to get high off of Amanita Muscaria. By all accounts it can be a rather unpleasant (and long) high. Best to stick with psilocybin.

Well, we don’t follow the law to the letter basically anywhere. The law gets interpreted and judged by courts (at least in the English common law tradition, though it happens to some extent everywhere), precisely because people generally dislike someone doing something against the spirit of the law, and using technical terms to try to pretend it’s ok.

Doesn’t stop people from arguing that no one could tell what the intent was, or the intent was actually what they did, or the law was so badly written that they are right because. And sometimes they win. But it’s rare.

Same impression from me, I studied in 1988-1999.

Math was boring as hell. Worse was only literature with essays.

Except that at lyceum we did have good teachers who could admit they didn't know, and the physics teacher did anti-test, where we could pose him a (correct) problem and if he couldn't find the answer, he added +1 to quarter mark, which was a great bonus.
"Rich" countries should not be allowed to externalize their environmental concerns.

The resource-rich countries of Africa and South America are considered "poor" because the US and Europe see their people and institutions as expendable and replaceable.

Please read the YC text again.

The problem isn't the offer, so much as the rationale behind the offer. It's perfectly possible to make a similar offer without being ageist:

* Grad schools do that. "Learn; we'll give you $24k per year as a stipend."

* YC could pitch the $125k, a for example, a means to improve inclusiveness and DEI.

* Etc.

That's not what they do. They say that the program is for founding teams for whom $125k will cover a half-year of expenses, at least. That means young teams. There's a lot of ageist copy from YC. That's why I assume I'm not welcome there.
Yeah, but in the common case all the uninitialized bytes are in the padding at the end of the struct (since Rust can re-arrange fields).

Especially in a case like in the article, where the type is very small (one byte), and the obstacle is that the author is using a newtype.
Note, it would be against wikipedia policies to say "Some scholars say X". You're not supposed to use weasel words, and npov does not mean you have to give equal weight to all.

Case in point, wikipedia doesn't say that some scholars believe genisis was written by moses. Instead they say:

"Tradition credits Moses as the author of Genesis, as well as the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and most of Deuteronomy, but modern scholars, especially from the 19th century onward, see them as being written hundreds of years after Moses is supposed to have lived, in the 6th and 5th centuries BC.[7][8] Based on scientific interpretation of archaeological, genetic, and linguistic evidence, most scholars consider Genesis to be primarily mythological rather than historical. Biblical literalists do interpret it as actual history, giving rise to beliefs such as Young Earth creationism."

Which seems entirely fair to me.
They just explained what was happening, did they even do something that's illegal?
It doesn't, but it does get the image into your browser cache and onto your machine.
That's a really great point. I am T1 as well. The improvements I would love is an insulin that is denser and more stable.

If we had insulin that was say.. 1000 units/mL (10x stronger) and didn't degrade as fast, then we could have some really cool and slim devices. You could also have a longer lasting pump site.
I feel "viral infection" is overly narrow wording. Sure, rabies, the classic zombism analog, happens to be a virus. But given there are also many known transmissible, behavior-controlling infections that are *not* viral, it seems premature to assume this property would hold for upcoming zombie epidemics.

For instance: ophiocordyceps [0,1] is a fungus, and toxoplasmosis [2,3] is a single-celled eukaryote.

Oregon ending reading and math proficiency requirements for graduation
I wonder how this will help equity. If I were an employer, wouldn't I be more incredulous if I see someone graduate from a high school in Oregon? As an ordinary student, wouldn't I lower my own standard (I certainly got complacent when I was in high school)? As a minority, wouldn't I feel offended because the government thought I couldn't meet graduation standard, even though it's already low enough?
