You already made up your mind and reason from bad faith. You can't even quote them correctly.

The group doesn't exist to promote Bitcoin mining as if to encourage more companies to start mining. The group is there to explain why Bitcoin uses so much energy, encourages miners to give insights into this (which is sorely lacking, everybody is largely guessing right now) and shares best practices between miners to go for sustainable energy, and even better: stranded surplus sustainable energy, such as flaring.

Nowhere do their reports say they are "super sustainable", it's you fabricating these lazy labels.

Whilst mainstream media focuses on some rogue abandoned coal factory mining Bitcoin, in reality the conversion towards renewables for Bitcoin mining is moving ahead at a spectacular pace.
Completely tangential, but have you seen LUnix (Little Unix)? It's actually pretty impressive for something on the C64. Full on preemptive multitasking seems pretty impressive for something as little as the Commodore.

I would absolutely love to know who provided that estimate and how they arrived at that number. I understand that issues are often far more complex than they appear but this just seems ridiculous.
It's funny that trying to mischaractarize you managed to express the exact thing that Albert said.

Thus proving his point
> This means everything they do online and in their cyber lives is through their phone

You make a great case for an absolutely locked-down device, especially given that it's something that's bristling with microphones/cameras/accelerometers/GPS and logged into the most sensitive services in your life. The market agrees with this stance - Google offers sideloading, and vast armies of people are lining up to never use it. Apple's locked-down product is so successful with consumers that we're complaining about their monopoly power.

You can buy a general-purpose computer for cheaper than a cell phone. The fact that people choose the locked-down pocket computer over the general-purpose device tells me that the locked-down experience is the one the mass market prefers.

The people who I hear complaining about this aren't the regular users, they're the companies who aren't making the maximum profit they feel they're entitled to.
I think it has no more in common with them than other non-southern red states.
> Nobody ever questioned that you have to learn driving a car.

At the same time, nobody ever questions what you don't learn to drive a car. You have one acceleration pedal; you don't have separate controls for the fuel/air mixture and ignition timings. You don't manually control the differential. You have one brake pedal, not separate ones for the front and rear brakes, and automatic anti-lock braking is even a useful safety feature.

Modern cars even have warnings for tire pressure, so the driver has less need to manually check.

Modern cars are so smart that a 16 year old can buy one and drive it without having to know how to rebuild the engine, unlike cars of a hundred years ago.

The trick is that we have a long cultural history of deciding just what aspects of car driving are non-trivial and need to be learned and what aspects can be automated successfully (or even beneficially). Consumer computing is still in its relative infancy, and it's a moving target.
If you would use that variable, you wouldn't set it globally. You would set it only for the syncthing process.

For example, when you use systemd to run syncthing, you can configure the environment for syncthing in the unit file.

Other Go programs on your machine won't be affected.

I was thinking of a similar analogy but I don't think it holds.

The right analogy would be if I was in the apartment complex and I said to a door not mine "I'm home open up!" If the door opened and I did it intentionally, am I liable?

I still feel like yes but since you have to request the document and receive it I think it's different than just checking locks.
Maybe he was hoping OP didnt know about VPNs, it's not an uncommon scare tactic to imply being tracked is unavoidable.
Also, the ones who sell two or more times, can just claim that the other buyer actually discovered the exploit themselves?

Or maybe that someone in the first buyer's organization resold it?
Sounds like you were using runserver in Django and comparing its performance to WSGI's like gunicorn and uwsgi. That is an unfair comparison. Up to 200 ms for a hello-world response time even with runserver shouldn't happen. Perhaps you should try again?
The correct response isn't nihilism, but constant vigilance, and constant shaming of elected officials who abuse their powers.

I want to believe that, but after watching the Trump administration and how people seemed to embrace him more and more despite his continuing shameful acts, it's just hard to sustain belief that this all leads anywhere.

Sorry guys, not trying to be Debbie Downer here. I guess I'm just in a shitty mood today for some reason.

> It looks to me like a large portion of American Buddhism is not really that interested in the traditional Asian form of Buddhism, but instead in a form that's heavily influenced by secular Jewish ideas

No idea, I don't know anything about Judaism.

> If people simply prefer that approach, but traditional Asian Buddhism is embraced in your spaces, isn't "erasing secular voices from Buddhist spaces" in general more oppressive, not less?

No, because the Asian spaces are also being influenced by the enroaching of Western secular ideas. For example, Zen in the US is highly secularised, even though it is a traditional form of Buddhism. Thich Nhat Hanh teaches secular ideas to westerners but in vietnamese he is totally traditional and spiritual.

Spaces where Asian or traditional Buddhists can practise are shrinking because of this. Many traditional sanghas and temples are shutting down, and many secular institutions are popping up. The secular ideas influence the Asian Americans, causing the decline and defacing of traditional Buddhism.

This is why we have so many threads a day on /r/Buddhism calling out secular Buddhists, and it's honestly probably the biggest "battle" in Buddhism online today.

For me personally: my Zen teacher was quite unhappy with me for holding traditional Buddhist ideas, to the point where it felt like he didn't want me to be his student at all.
To a first approximation, school can't teach anything. Most of your high school class don't remember what DNS is.

Regarding the difficulty of investing/borrowing outside the US: Non-US banks are required to report stuff to the US if they have US customers. So they might not want US customers because it's a hassle for them.
That works for issues like "annoying uncle" in the US, I don't think, for example, Rohingya in Myanmar could just un-friend the ethnic cleansing that Facebook contributed to.

It's all about replacing SEC, CFTC, and banking regulator oversight with a "self regulatory organization."

A dedicated self-regulatory organization (SRO) should be established to strengthen the oversight regime and provide more granular oversight of MDAs.

All registered MDAs should be required to be members of the SRO.
The SRO should establish the self-certification process that an MDA would use to make a digital asset available for trading on its platform.

The framework would preempt state-by-state registration and related regulatory requirements.

It's the scammer's dream. In a world where 79% of ICOs turned out to be scams[1], self-regulation cannot work. The percentage of crooks is too high.

The SEC's Howey Test[2] for "is it an investment" applies to "digital assets", just like it does to non-digital assets. The crypto community hates this, because it interferes with Make Money Fast schemes.

It sounded like the set of documents was what was used in that case (look for all people who have accessed every single document in the leak, then investigate those people more thoroughly)
Something similar happened in Germany.
A programmer found a bug his customers shop system, he disclosed the bug to the shop provider and they reported him, there was a house search at his company and his computers were confiscated.
I didn't get the joke. Can anybody explain it?
Asking for the next file isn't false pretenses. I don't know if this analogy works quite right. Even rifling through a file cabinet wouldn't be false pretenses, it would be something else.

>some negative impact on US competitiveness

Negative impact on US citizen's competitiveness, which means they're less likely to get jobs outside of the US. Which means more looking for jobs domestically, leading to lower cost of labour for corporations inside the US.
You mentioned it. FATCA is not targeting US citizens abroad, it's targeting financial organisations who have US citizens as clients. So, many banks around the world will have "Are you a US citizen" as one of the first questions to open an account, and if the answer is yes, they will politely decline any further requests.

Meta question, at what point can you call yourself an artist? After you finish a painting, story, or song? When you sell something you’ve created? Artist isn’t a well defined title.
Nah...americans like big cars and manufacturers followed the sales! Even worse, europeans started to like big cars too...I just don't get why people like to drive big SUVs in the city.

A quote that's stuck with me for decades: "The purpose of life is to give life purpose." It may sound trite, but I've found it to be true. I've lived a life of serialised purpose, increasingly more altruistic than commercial as I've got older.
Probably, but for Coinbase to even manage to steer the conversation in this direction it’s a victory. They are the best positioned in the industry to even attempt it and if they’re rejected they are first in line to provide the infrastructure.
Maybe if it were a single student, but this is a problem that has persisted across generations of students. I'm a fan of blaming tools for being poorly designed rather than the sad student who has to suffer using them. All their lives these students are told that "=" means that the left hand side and right hand side are equivalent. Then we give them a tool that throws the well-understood semantic meaning of the symbol out the window (for no good reason, mind you), and then you say we are to blame the student for being confused?
> Missouri is not even remotely considered to be in "the south".

No, but it is both South-adjacent and is considered to be largely within the Bible Belt, which is almost exactly coextensive with the South, except that it excludes parts of Southern Florida and includes all or part of several South-adjacent states, so it's not an entirely hard fo understand mistake.
As much as it would be comforting if it actually was, incompetence is not limited to either political party.
This seems like a non-sequitur to my comment. I'm saying that companies that don't spy on their employees will win the best employees.

Unfortunately the Catholic Church's attitude towards dealing with past mistakes is still one of hostility.

I used to write software and optimize advertising for personal injury & mass tort lawfirms. The one that I worked at was building a major class action case against the Catholic Church. The volume of inbound leads that we had from all across the United States was enormous. A good six-digit number of them were qualified. There were priests in my Catholic Schools that had been on the accused list. One was even from a classmate of mine.

The Catholic Church was ruthless about negotiating down the damage. Basically their position was that they would fight every case in the US or they would settle all cases in the Archdiocese of New York that took place in Manhattan (a pitifully small number but an area in the US where the Church has a lot of money). It was purely about the money. The law firm took the easy way out for the amount of resources that they wanted to commit.

I probably listened to hundreds of calls where grown men were crying talking about how absolutely shattered their lives were. Only for my employer to turn around and say "sorry, we can't help you.".

I no longer do work for PI/mass tort firms and as a direct result of this.
I've definitely noticed that some small regional banks make extra money by offering services to other small banks and credit unions. For example, cashier's checks issued by my (fairly large actually) credit union are actually drawn on a midwestern regional bank that they seem to use as a service provider. So it's possible that bank is somehow involved in your bank's card issuance.

I also wonder if it's a contract call center or fraud prevention company and the caller ID value was just bad... at some point their phone number may have gotten put on a listing for one of the banks that uses them and now it's stuck in the Google Caller ID database or whatever. Google's caller ID is frequently pretty out of date and it's unclear how you would get it fixed (e.g. my husband has had his phone number for years and Android phones still show someone else's name when he calls).
Strongly agree. Recently an important religious leader in my town died, and the police stated it was accident though they had clear evidence it was suicide because they knew it would distress the public less.
This might be it, it's pretty noticeable.

The scan your phone, repairs shops should be able to fake battery replacements or change faceID sensors without controls type stuff is also in this, or no reason for apple to make certain decisions (despite obvious reasons) etc.

It's gotten to just BLIND reaction - ie, apple is done when reality is apple remains far more trusted than almost any other company (or govt) brand wise.
Don't take this as argumentation against what you're saying, because it makes a lot of sense. However, I would love for my phone or Mac to at least have the option of reading the documentation, but it's not easily accessible. Some things a deemed so intuitive that it doesn't need documentation, yet I still can't use it or find it.

On OpenBSD, if you're stuck on something in ksh, cwm, pf or any other built in tool, the man page is right there. Easily accessible, easy to read and comprehensive. When I play around on my OpenBSD box, the man pages is often my first choice over a search engine.

Also, not confuse man pages on OpenBSD with Linux man pages. Those two are remarkably different. Many Linux tools have good and comprehensive man pages. On OpenBSD everything has great man pages.
Guilt should not be inferred by a person or company protecting its own privacy.

If you’re a US citizen living in another country you’ll find many banks and financial institutions decline to have you as a client because dealing with FATCA makes it far more trouble than it’s worth. No other developed country makes similar demands.
+1, I'd also recommend doing a low-poly lesson before attempting the donut tutorial. I did Imphenzia's low-poly tutorials after a few false starts with the donut tutorial, and found the low-poly approach to be much better at establishing a foundation for working with geometric primitives.

I would think it depends on how "tech savvy" we're talking about. It's one thing to ask them to write a UNIX shell in C++, or construct a neural network model... I don't see any reason to demand that level of technical sophistication from a governor. But surely there has to be some baseline level of technological literacy that should be expected, no? Something beyond "push this button and the computer turns on" and "Yes, I checked and it's plugged into the wall"??
I want to share an amazing experience I recently had. I was looking through TV consoles on Crate & Barrel and found one I liked. I was unsure if it'd be too tall for my room (it's an extra 9 inches of height over my current TV stand, which is actually just a coffee table repurposed.) The listing page had a QR code I could scan with my iPhone. I was taken to a page that asked me for camera permissions and I said yes. In a few seconds, it placed a 3D model of the TV console in my room and I was able to get a good idea of how it looked. All so quick and easy - no extra apps to download - and actually useful. Putting Pikachu in my space is fun, but this is actually worth the extra lidar tech in the iPhone Pro.
Was it compiled as a 64-bit executable on AMD64 Windows XP?
I think you’re partly wrong on chip factories. While most new plants have been opened in Asia in the past few years, there are major plants under construction in the US by both Intel and TSMC [0]. Additionally, the US still has a large number of fabrication plants [1]. And US-based semiconductor companies handled around 48% of the global market share in 2019 [2].

So I think it’s not true to say that US had completely lost its edge with semiconductors, nor that the US moved all its manufacturing capacity to Asia. The US has been and is still competing to be one of the largest players in the semiconductor industry, even if it might not be first place anymore.

And I think it’s fair to question whether the US needs to be in absolute first place. Asian countries have significantly more population and therefore need for semiconductors compared to the US, so it makes sense that eventually, manufacturing capacity would be more relative to local population levels.

Hard to say if that would actually be effective. I can imagine there would be some improvement if you had assigned some drivers from the national guard's motor pool. But it could also be the case that throwing more people at the problem actually makes things worse, almost like in the Mythical Man Month. I imagine there is probably a ton of skill and "lay of the land" around trucking at a specific port and that kind of experience needs time to cultivate.

I don't actually know, just speculating.

> You are suggesting they just go bankrupt.

I'm suggesting they stop surveilling the world's entire population. Until they stop violating our privacy, I won't feel sorry for them when others violate theirs. Total lack of privacy is exactly what these big tech companies deserve.
Keep in mind how long ago this all was. Also my position was non-technical. So, none of this would hold up in court as expert testimony.

>Do you know whether SGIs, Alphas, or SPARC machines were used for rendering for Spirits Within?

I want to say all SGI machines. At least that's what we artists had. Near the end of production they had to rebuild the top floor of the building to hold all the computing power. So, could have been anything up there.

> How much custom software was used vs off-the-shelf for design, rendering, etc. ?

I think all the pipeline was custom. The main thing I used was Maya. As it was brand new and we were such a large production we had someone from Alias in-house. That was AMAZING. Nothing like having software support down the hallways. And then I think we had a Renderman clone for rendering.

> Were you working directly under Sakaguchi/Squaresoft or as a contractor/freelancer?

"The Guch" was in the office and made frequent rounds. :-) Really nice guy from the limited interactions I had.

FFTSW was in the same building as the production for FFXIII (I think) so he worked on that too.

> I just wanted to say I really enjoyed watching Spirits Within as a teen, even if the story wasn't very well-executed. And I certainly thank you for your part in it. The CGI and brilliant colors were mindblowing at the time and it still holds up somewhat today.

Thanks buddy! I remember in 2002/3 being at a Rave in Los Angeles and seeing video from FFTSW on on screens and getting all full of warm pride, even for the little bits that I did.

The NHTSA has determined that the requirement is that TPMS alerts for 25% underinflation across any combination of tires, or 30% underinflation in a single tire.[1] Originally they wanted 20-25%, but determined that cheap TPMS sensors were not good enough to meet that threshold and did not want to impose the cost of better sensors.

This is so idiotic. Does Missouri really want to discourage people from reporting security vulnerabilities? It sounds like this reporter did the responsible thing and alert all affected parties. I can almost guarantee that if a decent person found this, a dozen less-decent people did too. If a decent person is afraid to report a security issue, even more less-decent folks are going to have access to this information.
