I just discovered yesterday that while the Discord itself does not require it in all cases, certain servers with the highest restrictions can require that you have a phone number verified with Discord in order to post.
Modelling quantum physics interactions is NP-hard, you can't do that using regular computers even if you make them as big as the universe.

It is possible you can make a good simulation of human thought without all of that, but we can't be certain.
I wouldn't call it reassuring, but it is the pattern so far. What gives me hope is that we don't have a single unassailable monopoly. Instead, we get a chance, every five years or so, to choose something better. We just might figure out how to deal with this.
Trains go from a place you don’t want to leave from to another place you don’t want to go at a time you don’t want to leave. Now imagine instead of rails, we built roads (much cheaper) only for autopilot vehicles (including busses or whatever proletarian fantasy you prefer). You’re welcome.
Specifically from the web page:

"It does not depend on a browser, so you can even run it on Node.js."
The reality is your activity can still be visible by the websites you visit and google plus maybe one or two other companies that have good adoption of their trackers. It’s the and google that I think is confusing for users. It can do that because of how widely adopted its tracking token is on websites (realistically as a website owner you need to put it on to get good google ads performance).

The discontinuity is that when you go in Google Browsers private browsing mode Google will still track you by the websites you visit, across the web due to their tracking token, and they are one of the only companies on the web that can actually do that tracking.

To me this sounds a lot like a distinction without a difference.

My wife and I have different preferences for different things. We each routinely compromise by going along with the others preferences. We aim to do that in such as way as to achieve a healthy balance, where each of us feel satisfied and have our needs met. We do this by using communication.

To my knowledge, neither of us feel any animosity towards those compromises, because we’re both very interested in taking care of each other, and meeting each other’s needs.

Is this self-giving or self-serving? It just seems like using different vocabulary for the same thing.
Thanks, I thought Argentina was less enlightened than they are. It is odd that Paraguay does it, because the "reduce energy" myth means little there: they export surplus hydro power.
Probably when their economies are in ruin and people will hit the streets demanding their resignation. It already happens. Too bad they're led by anti vaxxers and right wing groups and are dismissed as such by news outlets. Lockdown measures in most democratic countries are anti constitutional anyway, not to mention anti democratic.

No, they implement RSS because that’s all they’ve heard of.
Emails are the perfect tool for that, but I got tired of opening my email client to email myself and built an app instead : https://boomerang-app.io . I am using it mainly to save HN link as well :)
This feels a little like I'm doxing him, but I mean, his website lists an email and twitter handle (see https://walterbright.com/) and the Empire page lists a mailbag, so I think he's open to it (http://www.classicempire.com/letters.html)
There's at least one coin that does that. It's a Nano clone (not sure if clone is the right word), called Banano.

You "mine" it by joining their folding@home team, and you get banano based on how many folding@home work units you complete. It's pre-mined though, so maybe that doesn't quite fit.

There was another cryptocurrency I remember which was mildly popular years ago called Primecoin, which attempted to find a certain type of prime numbers. It's interesting, but I'm not sure if it ever provided any actual usefulness from the work performed.

I don't see any reason that a cryptocurrency couldn't be tied to something like protein folding or climate simulations. People just don't choose to do so.
> Need to handle all cases in a case in pretty much the same way but changing only one thing? Write the first one, the rest is auto coded perfectly.

As someone who has suffered though inheriting a code base of excessive copy/paste with things done "pretty much the same way but changing only one thing" it's a nightmare to take it to diff and try and refactor out the common code. In my case I had to fix a bug in their copy/paste mess and found six separate copies of a whole functions worth of code duplicated.

I suspect part of the reason is for the initial developer it's a great feeling to churn out tons of code and it all kind of works without having to think how you make a block of code generic (avoiding temptation to just pass in a global state struct and dealing with function pointers in the worst cases etc) but having suffered the after effects, I implore you, PLEASE don't repeat yourself (DRY)

Although the average user might understand that “websites you visit might still track you”, I’m not sure they realise that a lot of websites secretly have a google tracking token which then records their cross-site activity and links it back to their google account if they login.

IMO there is a difference between “the websites you visit might track you” and “the websites you visit might have a google tracker on which will mean we will still track your activity and the sites you visit with that token and link them against your identity”. The first might be technically true, but I think a lot of users would be surprised by the second more nuanced version.

You can give your heart, but if your significant other doesn't speak your love language, no matter how much you give, it may not be right for you. If you're focused exclusively on giving, are you considering your own needs as a person? Granted, if both people are focused on giving, hopefully they can figure it out among one another.
I'm not discussing this any further, and I'm rather put-off from contributing to any GNOME projects if all the developers are going to feel this self-righteous. In any case, it seems like you've made it clear that neither GNOME nor Flatpak are right for me, so I'll quit wasting both of our time.

> You can use stochastic equations to simulate human behavior if there are quantum effects involved.

No you cannot, quantum effects are way more complex than just random chance effects. The quantum waves are particles in their own rights that flows and interacts with each other and itself, if you treat it as just a stochastic variable you don't get quantum effects.
But Herbert was also speaking in a context of a rigid social structure. Any leader came not from the masses but an elite social class, royal houses. Even those that seemed to come from the masses inevitably would turn out to be elites in hiding. Or they would quickly step aside to make room for someone of better blood. So the wisdom of the quote is that if one must choose between two princes, the prince that does not want power should ascend over his ambitious brother. It does not mean looking for leaders amongst the lower orders.
Well, two tricks. The other one is massive lawsuit against YouTube for no longer "doing enough" to prevent copyright infringement. Viacom v. YouTube started in 2007, was reversed several times, and really only ended because they settled, the settlement being secret but I'd guess probably directly lead to ContentID. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._Y....
I'm not sure about that. The Serie A (Italian football/soccer) also puts same-hour highlights on YouTube within hours, but people still use illegal streaming all the time.

You lose a lot by not following a sport in real time, especially if such sport is part of your social environment, and likewise you lose a lot if you just see highlights.

For an example of a perfect digital play, I think the America's Cup would be it: live streaming, analysis, interviews, replays, highlights.

It competes directly with tv streaming, but it can do that because it has a much smaller following.

Hallelujah, i remember when in Reed College we were introduced to Clifford Geertz statement about religion serving to give 'long lasting moods and motivations'. When i got into a lot of trouble from drugs, sexual immorality and all the other stuff i knew no human doctor, medication or other thing would get me well and satisfied with my wellbeing. I finally decided to follow Jesus Christ. Much more than just a mood and motivation (which is also there), i watched my illness heal and have been med free since 2014 with doctor's approval, my dad here spoke tongues in Arabic praising God without an accent (someone else astounded told us) and my dog even heal of cataracts the day after praying for her. Many prophecies that have come true many other things, feel free to message me. Above all i urge trust in the Bible and We can have a relationship with God through what Jesus did on the cross alone.
Oh, sure. My wife will notice I'm excited and be happy. And listen patiently and try and understand.

But it's not the same as bragging or complaining about it to my nerd buddies, you know?

At one point, this used to really bum me out, but it was really an unrealistic expectation.
Interesting point, and you need both. Team for things involving challenge and purpose, mutual care to sustain it all.
I like the syntax and the base concept, having a Lips like programming language with a C/Java like syntax was a good idea I think.

Having an asynchronous model but a with single thread is also something I like about javascript. It provides good enough performances for most use cases without requiring to think about synchronizing between threads. The async/await model is much simpler to use compared to Golang or Rust for example, while it is a lot less powerful of course. You can also use more than one process but it's usually a good sign that you should use something else than JavaScript for the task.

I also like the tooling, you have a lot of great things on npm. A lot of terrible things too and you shouldn't install whatever you find on npm. In general the community is very nice and JavaScript doesn't have a lot of enterprise crap with overly complicated design patterns.

It's of course not perfect, but I think it's one of the best programming languages at this time.
That wasn't a top level question though, it was a question to a commenter saying "We wanted to obfuscate this bit of code, to make life just a little bit harder for reverse engineers." That you obfuscate code nobody other than you can even access is completely irrelevant as a reply to that question.

Actually your personal email is higher stake than your corp email because you want privacy, security and you are on your own and take full responsibility.

It can be better because it exists even if it's worse than some ideal but mostly non-existent community.
An often overlooked element was how poorly Nortel treated their Chinese employees. State directed espionage doesn't get hundreds of engineers to jump ship to domestic PRC firms. Money does. Then the knowledge travels with them.

Nortel Guangzhou had bamboo ceiling on Chinese management roles in the late 90s that extended to even Chinese Canadians. Big surprise when entire engineering teams got poached by ZTE and Huawei. A Chinese Canadian aquaintence who started in Nortel Ottawa poached most of his Nortel GZ engineering team because state companies simply compensated better and provided more opportunities. A few years later, he poached a bunch of engineers from state company back to a foreign one who promoted. PRC talent would rather stay working with foreign multinations due to prestige and better conditions especially in the late 90s, but at the end of the day, money talks.

>they can just stop uploading MVs to YouTube.

What, and stop being able to get free advertising on what is effectively the largest audio streaming website on the internet? In an actually free market, any media company that tried this would immediately get eclipsed by the rest.

But instead, we have a small number of record conglomerates that have formed a trust to bully everyone else to play on their terms, and the US gov refuses to trust-bust until it starts becoming a threat to their political power.
Always on driving risk monitoring to price a product that is always on when driving seems fair.

And it’s much more likely to lead to improved driving behavior than charging all 25 year olds more. Or all people with low credit scores more.

What are you going to price on if it’s not directly measuring how one drives? A blanket flat makes no sense.
> a self-giving endeavor

This seems like a step 2 to me. I think when people try to be giving as a step 1, before their own needs are met, they can end up miserable and resentful. But when your needs are met, giving is natural and joyful.

The NVC assumption is that when two people can identify each other's needs and connect with them, they find that their needs aren't actually in conflict. Compromise isn't necessary. That's the idea in theory at least.
Audiogalaxy felt magical to use at the time. Being able to leave the Satellite running at home, queue up songs to download from school via the web site, and listen to them by the time you're back home, was... incredible. There was truly nothing like it back then.

It also had a much larger indie community than Napster. I discovered so much good music on Ag that I still listen today.
I agree I think it is partisan. My take is that Democrats and the media built up Fauci’s credibility during the 2020 election and don’t want to see it be demolished by what could obviously be a massive scandal. If Daszak goes down it would ruin the credibility of the entire government on the subject of pandemics.

Science is done by humans and we're not very good at changing our opinions, in particular at institutional levels. However there is a difference between a priori stating that your dogma is infallible like religions typically do, and at least trying to follow the scientific process.

Every culture has some version of the golden rule yet religions claim to originate it. Most of what was studied in this article is common across all religions. Calling such practices "religion" is like calling smiling "religion". Religion co-opts nature and then, for a fee, hands it back to you. Human nature is not religion, religion puts an artificial price on that which should be enjoyed sans grift.
This doesn't work for the ant case. Temperature is defined in terms of entropy change per energy added to the system. But if you burn it up entropy would go down in your definition, so you would have negative temperature? Doesn't make sense.

So in physics the temperature view will always be correct. You can use a different basis for it, but it will always be a temperature view, since everything disintegrates into plasma if you add enough energy, so that plasma needs to have higher entropy than whatever you started with, so your "structural" interpretation of physical entropy doesn't work.

Cherry picking only the accurate prediction makes it seem like the predictor is really good!

Look at the rest of that quote:

> The human, computer pair, will also interactively suggest, confirm and fine tune specifications of mathematical properties and invariants at points in the the program.

That hasn't happened and as far as I am aware, is not even close.

> This will help the computer assistant to not only better understand the program but also to to generate real time, verification test runs using SAT technology,

Ditto.

> Interactive testing will eliminate whole classes of logic bugs, making most non ui code correct by construction.

Ditto..

So, 1 out of 4 predictions correct, which makes it worse than random chance?

This is a lovely way of phrasing something that I have been thinking about.

Basically that low accountability systems are really bad across the board. If they work for one generation (as in a benevolent dictatorship) then that’s nice, but it’s not a long-term solution.
