Legal technicalities about what values can be put on what type of coin.

The sovereign citizens and anti- Federal Reserve folks had fun with the idea in the 90s too.
Understood. Thanks for taking the time to provide more detail.

I'll take some time to digest and think through changes, and either edit, or write a clarifying appendix.
I hate things like this.

Climate change is an emergency, one that we're far behind on tackling. Talking about future technologies that are many decades away (if ever) is the opposite of helpful.

Imagine in 1943 the headline:

"Can hypersonic missiles put the brakes on Hitler's Army?"
In both cases energy comes from neutrons. In the case of a fusion reactor, some neutrons escape plasma containment, presumably then heat up something outside, then heat transferred to water as usual.
Don't they also provide a lot of developer time through patches?
It is, I chose one example. Do I have to document all such examples?
Where/how does the heat extraction take place? Are they planning to put water pipes in the walls of the confinement unit? I'm struggling to understand because in the diagrams I see a powerful magnetic field containing the particles, and then a near vacuum. Those two things alone must make heat transfer very difficult, no? I don't see where the produced energy gets extracted.

The Guide to Bin Cleaning Services in Langley
Manual cleaning procedures can be very time-consuming and expensive to have done properly. Thus, it is vital to use a professional service when restaurants bin cleaning in Langley. With most of these kitchens being extremely dirty and messy – it gives rise to an increased risk of bacteria being present in the food being served at the restaurant.
I don't know if this is what they were driving at but there are tons of useful things that you can't do in the sockets API like selectively up- or down-grading DSCP for a subset of TCP ACKs. Linux also does not come out of the box with DSCP reflection for the SYN+ACK, or at least it didn't until 5.10. Google prodkernel had this feature for at least a decade prior.

It's a legal loophole. The Treasury can't issue bonds to pay for government expenses until Congresss approves a budget. But president can mint coins without Congress's authorization. A trillion dollar coin would easily cover government expenses for the next several months.
31 U.S.C. 5112(k) as originally enacted by Public Law 104-208 in 1996:

The Secretary may mint and issue bullion and proof platinum coins in accordance with such specifications, designs, varieties, quantities, denominations, and inscriptions as the Secretary, in the Secretary's discretion, may prescribe from time to time.
The alternative is where the party doesn’t control the nominee, like the GOP, and you get the base nominating Trump.

I’m never surprised by the incompetence or laziness people, even “pros”, do to unseen parts of construction. Many times they know it will work long enough to be someone else’s problem, which is quite unfortunate.

I see the same with tile. Installers skipping waterproofing is quite common. DIY folks trying to make it look pretty so they can sell the home for top dollar, etc. It often creates a much bigger problem for the next person to deal with.

There are lots of details to SaaS Pricing ranging from defining the value metrics to determining personas to designing the pricing page. Well, these are great but how do people apply or not apply these in reality? What kind of products use freemium, free trial? What are the price ranges?

SaaS Pricer tries to answer these questions by allowing to analyze 107 products at the moment. The list is built on Airtable and can be filtered in various criteria.

I built it after my various consulting work on SaaS pricing and I expect it to be a good resource for anyone who works on SaaS pricing.

Groceries are so far outside of paying for any form of entertainment. What does it matter if you pay for a movie or tip a streamer? It's all content meant to be consumed and replaced with more content.

There are three things you need to survive: food, shelter, and love/community.

Entertainment can sometimes provide the last one (love/community) but for the most part it's fulfilling a need for distraction and/or curiosity.
I love “grace and tolerance” as a core principle. One of the things I used to respect about Americans is their ability to deal with the reality of the world as it is, including having an aloofness from politics. It wasn’t like Bangladesh where the losing party calls for violent strikes after every election. That confidence has been totally shaken over the last five years. Our mentality is becoming like that of a third world country.

Same as the most recent fission plants.
In Borges' story, the Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping, or confusion. The story traces the theme of infinity found in several of Borges' other works, such as "The Book of Sand".

Maze is another favorite theme of his.

Borges fractalizes the labyrinth, infinitely multiplies the interconnections between spaces — but makes all these spaces identical, cloned pieces of an infinite non-linear repetition, extending vertiginously into eternity, out in space and deep into the future, forever onwards.
Yeah as soon as you have a solid chunk of something to hit it's a lot easier to start a fire. E.g. it's actually quite easy to start a fire by shooting a lot of bullets into a gas station pump rather than a thin barrel.
I think the importance of organocatalysts besides being potentially less "harsh" is that they can also be more selective in what reactions they allow, which would be important in getting to those polymers. For example most of the amino acids in biology are L-enantiomers. So the reaction in the primordial soup would require catalysts which would bias towards that specific shape, where as a metalocatalyst may be less specific and generate both the L and R enantiomers at equal or near equal rate. Also it could also be that metalocatalysts generate side products at a higher rate such that it consumes say some of your amino acids unhelpfully. So you may be able to think about it as an intermediate step of metals->organocatalysts->polymer catalysts.

Full Disclosure: Am not a chemist but work with chemists, one of which follows MacMillan closely. And have sat through a lot of presentations looking at how different catalysts affect selectivity of products.
Yes, but the accounting has to be done according to the law. The purpose of the coin is not to be a physical object per se, but to enable an end-run around the procedural hurdles that allow a minority in the Senate to prevent the debt limit from being raised. The whole thing is silly political theatre, but with very high stakes.
That is crazy high valuation for something that will not be useful for at least 20 more years.
From what I can see their 2FA is not inhouse. They're using twilio's Authy (first time I've heard of it, honestly) so maybe the phone numbers are not in the leak.
Our money hasn't been backed by physical metals for a very long time. The coin would be purely symbolic, being made of platinum only because the law allows platinum coins to be minted in any denomination.

Fast neutrons leaving the confinement field. Most of the energy goes into the blanket between the first wall of the vessel and the confinement coils. This blanket is made of Be and Li. Be to act as a neutron multiplier and Li to breed tritium. The Li fission is actually energetically favorable and is a significant percentage of the power output. It is also the source of tritium fusion fuel. The byproducts of these reactions are helium. Liquid lithium can also double as a coolant in an efficient (high temperature differential) thermal cycle.

The rest of the power gets dumped into the divertor. This is a pretty violent section of the hull that has an enormous power density slamming into it (in ITER it will be similar to an atmospheric re-entry vehicle). There are games to play here though and the strike points can be blown up in size.

I absolutely agree with you. Thank you for letting me know, that I'm not alone!

I'm coming from a backend-environment and had to learn how to do frontend as well. While JavaScript as a language can be handled (it has its quirks, as all the other languages out there, still quite logic IMO), the tooling around creating an application is totally a mess. A packager and babel and module handler and use express and build with vite oh and version ES6 or better ES20 or back to ES5 and serve the static content with sirv and ts.config and ... On the backend side I was used to just install my packages and be able to start coding. Not on the frontend side.

I have to admit that I find it to be a more complex environment, as you need to support different browsers, you have a client and server part, you need to handle session/state data and so forth. Beside that you need to take into account security, performance on client/server, network communication, local storage, and the list goes on. There are also hundreds of ways to do a single thing.
In the end what helped me was to stick to a single framework and follow its way from start to end.

Also the advent of frameworks like Svelte/SvelteKit helped a lot as they reduce the tooling to a bare minimum, keeping single components maintainable with mostly pure JavaScript.

Tl;dr: You are not alone :-).

It seems to have a formatter option in the `fix` argument you can give it.

The authors should probably be selling it on that point since it seems to be its strength, it doesn't have many rules along the lines of the static analysis that people look for in linters.

Some people (tech leads, CTOs) care a lot about formatting but I wouldn't make teammates go through a linter for that, it's a rather surface concern.

How do you cure cancer? Well, cancer is a complex disease, made of cells which are nominally "yours" but which are actively trying to proliferate as much as possible, causing knock-on effects...

Or, in the words of this article, "BULLSHIT! Just kill the cancer cells while leaving the healthy cells alive! Simple! Anything beyond that is artificial complexity! DA-EPOCH-R? DAE overcomplicated BuLLshiT! I know best!"

The kind of over-simplification this article promotes leads directly to outcomes like Steve Jobs fruit-curing himself into an early grave because he thought he'd outsmarted a kind of cancer that would have been pretty damn treatable had he had an ounce of humility.
That seems... preferable? Say what you will about Trump, but his ineptitude and lack of party connections meant he was limited in what he could accomplish. Contrast that to the Bush presidency and its two foreign wars.

> for example someone steals the key and then accesses the data

It was why I schemed it so the key is sent to the user but not kept by you. Someone steals the user key? They can ask for a restore but they won't have access to the data unless they've got the user login info too. An employee steals the encrypted data? Enjoy the time spent cracking the cryptography.

A little like one of the solutions for deletion in Event Sourced systems but instead of completely losing the keys, you give it to the user first.
I think the goal of this article was to highlight options that US buyers would have at their local home improvement or hardware stores.

> patent trolls or even rightful patent owners

What's the difference?

But seriously, if it takes trolling through the code to determine that Twitch's math violated their special way of doing math that no one else should get to use, it's just more evidence that software patents aren't helping protect or encourage innovation (else the violation would have been apparent from using the service). It would instead clearly be a "hah, gotcha, turns out we patented the linked-list-inside-a-hashmap construction you've got going on here, pay up! Only we can put the Legos together in that way!"
That is true actually. Seems silly but it's actually a serious benefit! The main issue with fission is that people have become irrational about it. Maybe we get a fresh start with fusion.
Sourcing Training Data with Amazon’s Mechanical Turk
You cannot blame other operators if your own operator has broken software.

If your network cannot accommodate another network's DNS servers being unreachable, the problem is your network, not the fact that the other network is unreachable.

A network being unreachable is a normal thing. It has been widely advocated by DJB (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/third-party.html) and others, since decades ago, that it's pointless and counterproductive for single-site operators to have redundant DNS, so, it's time to fix your software if decades later somehow it still makes the assumption that all DNS is redundant and always available.

I didn't notice any slowdowns on Monday, BTW. I don't quite understand why a well written DNS recursive cache software would even have any, when it's literally just a couple of domains and a few FQDNs that were at stake for this outage. How will such software handle a real outage of a whole backbone with thousands of disjoint nameservers, all with different names and IP addresses?
Thank you! The hypocrisy is huge.
Actually, there is a entire field dedicated to this (disclaimer: I studied it at uni, plus CS and info systems) - organizational studies [1]. It has subdomains such as organizational structure/models, behavior, communication, etc. Much of it backed by theories, studies and more, ranging in disciplines.

Time and motion studies (for example) were part of the scientific management revolution for industrial management [2]. There have been both qualitative and quantitative studies of all kinds of things - organizational forms, people networks (things like, Dunbar's number[3]), power distribution (ex. work of Pfeffer), etc. I could go on.

I do think we are reliving an era of interest in management by data and metrics, much like that of the industrial revolution and scientific management. Nothing wrong with using science and quantitative measures to optimize, but any human who has been subject to purely management by quantitative objective will likely tell you it often becomes.. rather, inhumane. This is often what led to automation, I feel - to remove the human element that was crushed by industrial efficiency.

I suspect this is why the qualitative balance is important (and no less scientific - science can be logic not just metrics right?).

My two cents...

Absolutely. But these benefits are vastly outweighed by one benefit shared by fission, solar cells, and wind turbines: those things are real.

From my American perspective, it looked like that, but 1990s UK internal political party dynamics isn't something I’m nearly as confident of as their US parallels, so I wasn't going to take a stand on that.
