Diffuse modulatory systems.
Dopamine is in equilbrium with NorAdrenaline, Serotonin, Aceytlcholine. These four chemicals neuromodulate the biology of the brain. A by-product of using these systems is Adenosine build up in the CNS above the blood brain barrier. The biological function of sleep is to reduce Adenosine.

Nordrenergic Locus Coeruleus,
Serotonergic Raphe Nuclei,
Dopaminergic Substantia Nigra & Ventral tegmental Area, and
Cholinergic Basal Forebrain & Brain stem complexes

These are the 4 pathways.

Only way to fix dopamine is to regulate the other systems and downregulate D receptors. This can be done through a sustained increase in cardiac rate. RUNNING NEARLY FIXES EVERYTHING and diet. Use flux or some screen dimming program so the blue light doesn't screw with your circadian rythmns.

Note dopamine hyperregulation leads to changes in muscarinic M receptors present on the heart.

Bitcoin is a bounty designed for the US Government to reveal it can crack SHA256
In reading about Bitcoin and its precursor Hashcoin, I realized that just as Hashcoin is designed to disincentivize spam, Bitcoin also has a similar aim. Rather than mining digital "postage stamps" to send e-mail, the creators of Bitcoin were concerned about a bigger problem--the freedom of the internet.

Their solution was to create a huge bounty of cash so large that it would disrupt the economy, the ability of the government to levy cash. That is why the consortium chose SHA256 as the hashing algorithm. It is the same algorithm used to secure the internet.

The purpose of Bitcoin is to eventually force the US government to reveal it has the power to crack SHA256, which cost the government billions in research dollars, and gives the government tremendous power.

Bitcoin was designed as a bounty to disincentivize the government from continuing to monitor all activity on the Web unchecked. What else would a group of hackers want more than to create a bounty to secure the internet? When the government does this, Bitcoin will no longer have value.

If we assume the cost of breaking SHA256 is the same as the cost of the Manhattan project, inflation adjusted to 2008 dollars--$21 billion--then you know why the blockchain is capped at 21 million coins.

TL:DR: Bitcoin was created as a huge bounty to force the government to reveal it can crack SHA256, with the ultimate purpose of securing privacy on the internet.
I think the point is you didn't rely on reviews. Before the internet you went to the shop and you could actually touch the product, try on clothes, use sporting goods, see how this laptop feels and how fast it works. Now buying online you have to trust reviews to choose what to buy.

You don't need to advertise to be "failing to disclose an unexpected material connection with an endorser", I think maybe they mean they could punish for the reviews themselves, but they're still talking about going after the companies with the products reviewed, not the commerce sites hosting the reviews. Which is what the the FTC does (as a drop in the ocean lately), maybe all they have statutory authority to do?

Normal price on the Studio 580 is $700 each. They are a very good value at $700/pair and an even more exceptional value at $600/pair. Free shipping. Try in your home for 30 days and send them back to Harman on their dime if you don’t like them. The R253 at $300/pair is an even crazier value.

When Harman has these lines of speakers on sale at 50-62% off you simply won’t find a nicer speaker at that price, especially once you factor in that Harman allows for 30-day in-home evals and free returns.

They're the same thing. You wouldn't distinguish communism from "crony communism," would you? Of course not; that would be absurd.

Both systems create perverse incentives, and it is unproductive when everyone continues ignoring that fact.

Well, one man's snake oil is another man's hobby, or whatever. I am not there with him, but I kind of understand a little. I inherited a collection of rare jazz and classical 78's from my favorite uncle when I was 15 (1973), he was a DJ at a radio station at a liberal arts college. He was my favorite uncle because when everyone else at a family reunion was arguing about fords vs. chevy or whatever, he and I would be off talking about Jazz, Blues, Rock, and all kinds of things. I have treasured them, he also willed me his vintage Victrola. I have not played most of them to preserve them. I have been experimenting and working on how to record them without harming them for years and I think I am almost there. Optics is no good, I have tried that, but this is real vinyl and there is a reactivity and response of the material that optics does not capture. I have developed what I call a software defined turntable that uses an FPGA to dynamically select equalization and control the speed, which varies during recordings.

Sorry, I am rambling. My point is, some of us are kooks, I guess. But, here is the thing, music can do that to a person. And other emotions. Never judge someone why they are obsessed, just enjoy the wonder of it.

Southwest had the most cancelled flights, Allegiant had the second most, and Spirit had the third most. I googled “Allegiant cancelled flights” and got dozens of news stories.

The FAA problem was in Jacksonville. Wikipedia lists Allegiant’s top Florida destinations as Orlando, St Pete, and Ft Myers. Also, according to Wikipedia, Jacksonville is a minor city for Allegiant.
Eh, even if we didn't transition away from fossil fuels at all, there's oodles and oodles of coal left.

I gladly accept the -1. I've been in Texas for a while. I don't plan to stay. It isn't safe or sane here. Between gerrymandering away people of color, preventing businesses from mandating masks to promote public safety and taking away women's rights, that pice of sh*t seems intent on making this place incompatible with non god testing white men and the women who blindly accept their station in that life.

(I can't take credit for the nickname. I think I picked it up from some ATX native DevOps folks.)
Blacklisted how? 20 years ago consumer reports was considered a trusted source and they purchased everything they reviewed. How are you going to blacklist someone from going to the store and buying your product?
If it's online, it's full of cheaters. One of the major problems (with steam) is the price of games in different regions. While a game might me cost me/you 20 dollars, it might sell in say Russia for 4.99. Add a popular steam sell to the mix and now we're buying licenses for pennies on the dollars, maybe even less than a dollar. We can cheat with these accounts or sell them to other cheaters for double the price we paid. Now cheaters can easily access new/fresh steam accounts and never worry about getting banned on their main account.

It's almost sad to see how badly anti-cheat software works. There are entire economies built around cheating. We used to combat this by being able to manage/run our own game servers with staff dedicated to the experience but very few games still support managing your own server. It will always be cat and mouse.
While I think that is definitely true, states like Florida have forced local school districts on certain issues recently.

Yeah, but there was/is more balance when the magazine had to keep its overall readership up and quite possibly had a manufacturer’s competitive advertising as well. Advertisers could influence reviews, especially to keep from getting a super low review, but I don’t recall stupendous reviews for absolute rubbish.
Especially annoying if they ask four or five times, as shown in that cast-iron pans screenshot.

Him saying Team TERF is like saying you are pro-antisemitic in the 1920s. I don't know about his friend but his standup messages were awful regardless.
> It is so obvious when someone is cheating.

It is not always very obvious, at least on CSGO... there are some experienced/smart cheaters.
So they're allowed to waste my time and earn a kickback, as long as they give me a free cab ride from their kickback to where I wanted to go in the first place?

That sounds like it only works if my time that they wasted for selfish gain is valued at $0, which is obviously true as far as they are concerned, but certainly isn't true to me.
This isn't a high-level gameplay problem. I'm not sure what you play but in (CoD) Warzone, for example, just based on Twitch streams at least, almost every lobby has one or more cheaters/hackers in it now.

This is a bad enough problem that it actually threatens the integrity of the game and the continued support from more casual gamers such as yourself.

As for your particular case (running a Windows VM with PCI-e GPU passthrough), that's... such a niche corner case that you're you just don't factor in.

We can agree that cheating will never be truly eliminated. It's a question of degree and it requires a multi-level solution ie both client-side and server-side.. The server-side detection has to allow for checking by a human with all that entails. It sounds like this is what they're rolling out with CoD Vanguard (Ricochet). It'll be interesting to see how effective this is.

Probably the biggest problem for the likes of Warzone and Fortnite is that the game is free. It means getting banned and having to create a new account is essentially zero cost. What about paid-for and earned cosmetics I hear you ask. Well, those are hacked too so it doesn't really matter.

If someone could crack bitcoin, the rational thing to do would not steal everything, as it would render it instantly worthless, but only siphon from a few large but idle wallets, enough to be wealthy but not enough to elicit attention. So if bitcoin could be cracked you probably would not know about it, at least not initially.
I think this is bit simplistic. Before the internet, if you were going to buy something that was supposed to have objectively measurable properties, there would likely be a magazine/zine/journal that would include reviews by domain experts. Shovel? Laptop? Scalpel? Engine oil? Covered, you just bought the magazine.

The problem now is that the magazines are generally not as good at covering all the options, many of them have vanished, or have become online only equivalents.

Also, this is in part what the Whole Earth Catalog (later CoEvolution Quarterly and even later Whole Earth Review) was all about, and that's why more than a few people see it as a precursor to the web.
Is that before or after deducting the trillions that were distributed?
Here's the current US media status:

- cnn.com - since the Afghanistan bugout (around Sept. 1), cnn.com's reporting is fairly accurate, but not the "analysis" hit pieces. Ignore whatever Don Lemon or Brian S. says. Notably, cnn.com is not reporting on Biden's dementia. They have a ratings crisis since Jan. 20, so expect a lot of turmoil.

cnn.com is supporting the DoJ Gestapo tactics against PTA speakers, so cnn.com has completely lost its way morally. Even ex-Chinese dissidents call the DoJ direction "Maoist."

- NTD media is chugging along great, despite being partially cancelled by US tech companies. (Their reporting on the WIV lab leak was deleted by YT, and their subscriber counts have been frozen for months. So they have a parallel web site just in case.)

- fox.com has always been accurate over the past year. I would call it Liberal. Note that many of their video segments have comments disabled to appease YT.

- sky oz has the same owner as fox, but is slightly more to the right. Great coverage of corona and Biden dementia coverups. YT took some action against them for a short while, but they're back online.

Note that anytime I mention YT above, it means the channel was reporting the truth and YT punished them for not being a good comrade.

I consider Jen Psaki's (WH press secretary) habitual lying to be one of the biggest media problems today.
Ebay seller reviews have been fraudulent for 20 years or more (not ALL reviews, of course).

No, it's due to illegal SEO practices where they serve Googlebot a plate of GPT3 meets keyword spam, and then serve you a page full of advertising and phishing links.
Newegg reviews were pretty good--they steered me away from a lot of noisy gear when building servers. That kind of feedback does not exist in the specs.
They have an incredible loyal customer base despite some of the recent bad publicity. Also seems like if the price and schedule are the same, generally Southwest provides a better experience.
Yes, exactly. Is this accepted as normal by locals too, or is it socially proper only with tourists?
SEO has ruined search. It's so hard to find a website that isn't trying to sell you something. I tried searching for an explanation of an aspect of astigmatism correction and I couldn't get anything but thinly veiled ads for optometrists and glasses companies, and no in depth explanation of the detail I wanted explained.
In many fields, though, there were the magazines that everbody knew were bought and sold by advertisers, and those that weren't. In my domain, Sound on Sound (about pro-audio and music creation tech) is in the latter category, and has been for decades. Even the advertisers know it, and seem willing to deal with the periodic "actually, the new Foo from Bar is mostly a piece of junk that you will not want to buy" because it makes the "wow, the new Baz from Bomb is totally awesome and you will use it everyday".
Diversions mid-flight are pretty rare, usually they will choose to skip B before taking off. That said there are some interesting instances where airlines can "tanker" fuel by fueling up more than they need to in a city where prices are cheaper
