You have official Oracle JDK build.

You have official Oracle OpenJDK build.

You have plenty of alternative builds.

It's like kernel.org Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora Linux and so on. Does it hurt Linux? I don't think so.

All builds should be perfectly compatible between each other.

Simplest way is just use Oracle JDK 17. It's LTS, free and official.

To be fair, in OCaml, Haskell or Rust the type "A | B" also had to be declared beforehand.
Most likely scenario is a breakdown of the containment and spill or fire, potentially huge.
During the fire, multiple explosions may occur worsening it.

Explosion in the first place requires enormous amounts of oxygen. Even with inert atmosphere replaced with air, the volume is just too low.

> they cannot deny customers or uses that are legal

What about services that are maybe-legal? As I understand, a lot of the sex-related industry (porn, etc) have some issues related to revenge porn, consent, exploitation, etc. Its hard for the payment processor to trust that every transaction is legal. Especially when occasional illegal content slips in.

> The easiest way to find someone who's inexperienced in C is to find someone who declares a function that takes no arguments with an empty pair of parentheses. In C but not C++ you need to write "void" inside the parentheses.

C11§6.7.6.3p14:

> An identiﬁer list declares only the identiﬁers of the parameters of the function. An empty list in a function declarator that is part of a deﬁnition of that function speciﬁes that the function has no parameters. The empty list in a function declarator that is not part of a deﬁnition of that function speciﬁes that no information about the number or types of the parameters is supplied.

That declarator is part of a definition. Even if it were not, the elision of a function's formal parameter list does not matter very much if, like 'main', that function is usually not explicitly called.
Well, since I explained it, my recommendation is in addition to re-taking econ101, also retaking English - reading specifically. When you give money to people, they spend it by giving it to companies by purchasing products or buying stock. When you don't, companies go out of business and your supply is reduced. Reduced supply is higher prices.

This applies during a pandemic, when the companies doing the supply are going out of business, and when the demand side is out of a job and out of money to spend with those companies.

But, since my first explanation, which is exactly the same as what I retyped here, was not read by you beyond an out of context sentence, I have a very good idea about how your brain works, and why it still makes no sense to you. Now talk a bit about why the vaccine is a plot to take away our freedom. I'm here for the entertainment.

A perspective, but the sales person really wants the financing commission from the shadiest high interest rate lender instead of whatever they’re actually selling, if you cant afford full upfront payment. So if by provide you mean how miraculous it is for someone to be approved for subprime credit and make the interest payments for awhile, then sure, ok, low bar but ok.

The biggest problem with this is that we already have regulations than punish banks for processing illegal transactions.

If you don't want that, and you want the banks not to refuse any legal transactions, that's easy. They then don't refuse to process any transactions at all.

If you do want them to refuse illegal transactions, and they're allowed to refuse legal transactions, that makes it easy for the bank because then they just refuse anything marginal even if it's totally legitimate. This is what we have now. It's not a problem for the bank but it's a big problem for the people getting unjustly locked out.

Expecting the bank to process no illegal transactions and all legal transactions is an impossible burden, because nobody actually knows what that means. The meaning of a lot of laws isn't even settled until they get litigated in court and set a precedent. It would require the bank to be infallible, and know everything about everybody's business, because a mistake in either direction would incur penalties.

So which one do you want? (The first one actually looks pretty good when you consider the alternatives. Let the police be the police and the bank be the bank.)
The initial primary explosion could cause significant enough destruction to the ship that it acts like the “scatter charge” in a thermobaric weapon, spreading the undetonated oil sufficiently into the air that a larger percentage of the onboard oil is detonated as part of a “single event”…

Oil doesn't detonate, even if scattered by an explosion. Fuel-air explosions require very specific conditions it's entirely unlikely those conditions could be met with crude oil. Thermobaric weapons use chemicals like ethylene oxide that are: 1) highly volatile, 2) easily dispersed [no thick like oil], 3) have a very broad air-fuel mixture range which is flammable.

Could the vapor explode and spread burning oil everywhere? Sure.

Could it explode, distributing microscopic oil particles in such a way to sustain a fuel-air explosion? Highly unlikely.

So wrong.

7 - real rates aren't going up any time soon, they simply don't have much room, government would default. What will happen is that nominal rates will rise, but real rates will remain negative and leveraged real estate investors (both homeowners and RE corps) will be in fact propped up by continued low rate regime. Several central bank governors have made it painfully explicit that they do not care one bit about housing market exploding due to low rates.

8 - wrong. renters don't get any equity. not even close to an equivalence.

Surely this is the responsibility of the person posting this on HN, not the person who put the code on github. The owner of this repo owes absolutely nothing to random commenters on HN.
It's extremely unlikely that dispersed oil will detonate. It can deflagrate i.e. burn rapidly in a great fireball.
Even if there were only as many nodes as there are countries in the world, that would make a more open payment network than the credit card systems.

There are 195 countries in the world. And a user could pay via any of those 195 nodes.

When you accept a certain credit card type (Visa, Mastercard etc) only users who are customers of that company can pay you.
The understanding is that the services which you use in "global" region are hosted in us-east-1 .. CloudFront, Route 53, IAM. So outages in us-east-1 can cripple a lot more than you'd think. Your EC2 proably still runs but I would not count on AutoScaling or being able to log in and do admin tasks. I'm sure AWS has also thought about it and the good part about us-east-1 is that it has 5 or more zones so it's harder to take it down.

You would need a valuation for the painting you disposed of. The fact that you never actually received USD is irrelevant.

I had this problem in 2018 - I bought BTC in 2017 before the boom, exchanged a bunch for ETH at the peak of 2018, and then rode the ETH all the way back down. I had to pay a bunch of taxes on the BTC gains I “realised” even though I didn’t get any actual cash out. I had to pick a price settle for BTC/USD on the day I bought ETH.

It's a very difficult task to determine if a transaction is legal or not, sometimes impossible. Regulations differ not only on the country and state level, but sometimes the city level.

For example, can you buy alcohol in Delaware? Well, not if it's Sunday. How about a weekday? Not if it's between 1am and 9am.

Can you buy alcohol in New Jersey on Sunday? Sure, well not if you're in Bergen County.

That's one product. How do you propose these companies codify the entire world's regulations? It would require thousands of people to maintain the rule engine.
Trump seems to at once despise Bezos for bailing out the WP, but also admires and fear him, since Bezos' money makes Trump look poor in comparison, and the working conditions in Amazon warehouses and anti-union activity reflects the kind of autocratic values that Trump admires. It's pretty clear that Trump would love to be Jeff's friend, which gives Amazon even more leverage to survive any right-wing populist attack.
Orchestras tune up to the concert master, usually one of the violinists. So everyone gets to tune one of their strings to the pitch of the one string of the concert master. Almost all of the strings in an orchestra (excepting things like guitar, banjo, lute, sitar) have 4 strings (violin family), with the frequency intervals (ratio of frequencies) between adjacent strings being usually a perfect fifth, or perfect fourth (e.g. string bases) which is the inverse ratio to that of a perfect fifth.

So if I have a violin in my mitt, and I tune my A string to an A from the lead violinist, to put my instrument into tune, I must get the E string to be a perfect fifth above the A, the D string to be a perfect fifth below the A, and the G string to be a perfect fifth below the D. The perfect fifth relationship has the higher string vibrating three times for each two times the lower string vibrates, plus a tiny adjustment to get the frequency ratios of the twelve half-steps in an octave all equal. The adjustment is very small (about 0.11%), you could tune a violin with the fifths all exactly 3 to 2 so that, e.g., the google tuner could still show all four strings as in tune. And the 3 to 2 ratio is about the easiest interval less than an octave to do by ear. So most violinists, cellists, etc with good ears do fine without tuners.

The guitar has an interval of a major third between the G and B strings. The integer ratio of frequencies for this interval is usually given as 5 / 4, but the adjustment to even out the steps in the octave is larger, about 0.79%, and you cannot tune the other notes on a guitar at showtime by moving the frets around, so tuning the guitar (and other fretted instruments) is more like tuning a piano than tuning a violin or cello.

>OK, but how employable are you at that point?

You got 2x (or whatever) the salary until then. That should give you plenty of time to catch up. Currently anybody is employed anyways if one knows how to use a keyboard. I don't think that is ending anytime soon.
Chrome will allow it. Links will also work from any site.

https://developer.chrome.com/blog/private-network-access-upd...

I believe the change is that http:// pages on public websites won't be able to talk (such as via XHR/fetch, embedded images/scripts/css) to private IP address or sites with domains that resolve to private IP addresses.

One obvious workaround is to change the requesting page to https:// instead of http:// . This is somewhat difficult because then there's the problem of mixed content, since it's often difficult to get an https:// certificate for the server that runs on the private IP address.

There are 2 other workarounds listed on the Chrome blog post: WebTransport and and Reverse embedding (which means running the site on a private IP address instead of a public IP address). It looks to me like those could work in the Portal case.

I need to do more research on the topic, but I think this is a little bit of an illusion.

A chaotic system, K, is one in which the probability of measuring a "high order digit" (eg., 10,000) in the output is sensitive to a "low order digit" in the input (eg., 0.000001).

Something like: P(log_o K(state) | log_i state) < 1 where o >> i

It seems true that a non-chaotic deterministic function, eg., f(t) can be created such that "K(state) is bounded by f(approximation)".

Eg., K(state) is the weather, and f(approximation) is the climate model. Or K(state) is the behaviour of gas particles, and f(approximation) is the gases temperature model. Or K(state) is the changing matter distribution of the universe, and f(approximation) is the stable gravitational field model in our solar system.

f() is long-run predictable -- but K() isnt. But we know f() fails in the long-run -- K() does eventually change against the predictions of our model f().

Eg., over long periods of time, the climate changes; the non-ideal gasses may spontaneously condense; the sun "explodes".

f() is only ever a locally/apparently deterministic approximation.

Infrastructure can be easily made exempt by law - government need not pay taxes to itself.

(Unless you are trying for anarchocapitalism, in which case you found a neat argument why it might have problems.)

Otherwise I fail to see how having more tax income makes it harder to fund infrastructure investments.
The Rust code is bar far not optimized. For example while loading the dictionary, why creating a Vec and returning it instead of operating on a max word size array and reusing it. Also why not write everything at the end. I'm not a Rust Professional also, but maybe get a review by one please before benchmarking against something else.
First thing, that quote is wrong. Chrome will still allow HTTP requests to private IP addresses if the site you're on also has a private IP address.

https://developer.chrome.com/blog/private-network-access-upd...

To answer your question:

HTTP is vulnerable to MITM attacks. For example your ISP can modify any page you visit, steal passwords, cookies, oauth tokens, etc. If the site is forced to switch to HTTPS, your ISP can no longer pull off this attack.

Its an option.

Basically a litmus test will be when a gigantic brothel in Europe or a European country’s Caribbean district does a very public but permissionless capital raise, gets filled by retail, and pays dividends while shares being actively traded permissionlessly.

Thats when you’ll know the floodgates are open. Just given how much unwanted attention and publicity that will generate.

To me, its surprising it hasnt happened yet but I think now it is just a matter of time. Many services will take a second look when ownership by address is still concealed. Most crypto platforms do not offer that yet for shares/assets issued on their platform (ie. Monero has no ability to have fungible assets traded on it). Lightning Network has a theoretical but limited ability to do this. Bitcoin will have a greater ability to do this after its current inprogress upgrade goes live (taproot, schnorr) but not a complete solution out of the box even then.
Isn't calcium oxalate the thing that gives kidney stones?
Isn't that a false choice, that's only phrased to cater to the "that makes it easy for the bank"? They are now categorically refusing certain businesses. If those businesses could at least appeal and demonstrate that they are within the law, why wouldn't banks be mandated to process the transactions? This could go with some sort of safe haven for the banks, that if they did this review process that they won't be liable if an illegal transaction slips through. (And sure, some illegal transactions would slip through, but I'm convinced that this is already the case.)

That’s a good point about it being crude oil and crude oil not detonating. Detonate was probably the wrong word to use later on in the chain of events, they will have much more in common with a movie/tv special effects “explosion” (lots of smoke and fire with a smaller boom) than a proper “explosive detonation” but minus the point about supersonic detonation shockwaves there’s still a terrifying chain of events that all start with either fire or fuel vapour explosion and lead to lots of fire, spilled oil and almost likely a sunk ship.

So, are you suggesting that credit card firms no longer process liquor transactions? I think it's understood that there are nuanced difficulties, but does that mean they should categorically shut out entire industries? (I feel like for liquor we generally fall on the side of "no".)
It would probably be best just to buy it off them. Sure it's money going to a possible despotic regime (I am pretty ignorant about the sides in this conflict), but that happens all the time with "development" grants and the like.
The US commercial air transport industry is an absolute marvel. Millions of people moved thousands of miles every single day, mostly at extremely affordable fares. And tons of cargo moved as well. All with an excellent safety record, especially in the past decade.

If "the price we pay" is a day or two of one airline (not any of the others) grounding most of its fleet, most likely due to a controversial internal HR policy, it's an exceptionally low price.
Education is a parent's/ a community's job. Instruction is a teacher job. If Parent don't agree with the programs (which they of course read), they are free to choose another school or to teach their kids home.

I've heard two years ago that the US is becoming a bit too grade-centric and that problem resolution is not a valued skills anymore pre-college, due to decisions in the ministry under Bush-Clinton-Bush administrations, but my point is valid for most of europe

This makes sense; I would guess that 90% of AWS customers are only using the top 10% of available AWS features.

I'm not sure about that. Maybe there is a very unlikely pattern somewhere around the n-th digit?
You are right, Texas is not a good example here. I will give you another one instead:

September 18, 2006 light from a massive supernova reached earth. The star exploded in galaxy NGC 1260 238,000,000 light years away. This was the most energy intensive supernova ever recorded, and it's observation made it onto the Time magazine Top 10 scientific discoveries of the year.

This explosion is considered a scientific fact. You can not prove that this was not faked. I consider the likelihood that it was faked considerably higher than the likelihood that Trump won the election. Why? You would need to coordinate fewer people to fake it, and the people whom you would need to coordinate would be roughly neutral towards the outcome you are manufacturing. In contrast to tip the election without _any_ evidence of this subterfuge emerging you need to coordinate a lot more people, and many of those are actively working _against_ the outcome you are manufacturing.

I mean, i get where you are coming from: "Texas I can go and look at, microbes I can get a microscope and check myself, the electio I obviously can't!". Your problem is just that you stop thinking at this point. There just is more to it.

Either way, it's abundantly clear that the reason that 30% of the US believe the election was tipped has nothing to do with these philosophical points you raise. The election was not any more or less secure than the last couple of dozen that people by and large accepted. The only thing that changed is that Trump, for personal gain, actively undermined the trust in institutions specifically engineered to make cheating hard and to certify results.

But I suspect you probably know that on some level already.
No, it is not the same opportunity cost.
