Ok, you are not a hypocrite, but I still think it's objectively bad policy from a cost-benefit standpoint, and it's bad from every political perspective. Four arguments that might move a right-leaning person:

- The drug war is indirectly causing more illegal immigration into the US because it's destabilizing South America.

- The drug war is shifting large profits away from US pharma and into foreign narco gangs, which is bad for GDP growth and therefore the strength of the nation.

- The drug war means taxation needs to be higher because it's expensive.

- The drug war creates more street crime, which ranks highly in what right-leaning people care about.

So I just don't understand why right-leaning people (not just libertarians) are so actively voting against almost all of their stated interests. Add to this a number of other reasons (how bad it is for the black community, how poor whites are being literally killed by fentanyl, how it pushes people into more dangerous and cheaper drugs such as ice and crack, how hypocritical it is for alcohol and cigarettes to be legal, how morally questionable it is to punish a victimless crime), and the case is clear cut to me.
Wow, I went to dictionary.com and looked up "pedantic", and all it contained was a link back to this comment.
A chokehold on international payment remittance. Every single USD transaction in Taiwan passes through a US bank. A handful of countries are organizing their own crosscountry remittance systems. Until then, the US can effectively cut any country off international transactions when they feel like it.
Curious, as I am from a poor country where:

1. Lots of poor people have phones, sometimes very expensive ones (as these are sought as a symbol status)

2. There is no such thing as repossession. And living abroad makes me believe that it is an phenomenon in United States only. It is illegal in many parts of the world.

You would still have outliers that raise the mean - mostly children from wealthy people who can afford to raise their children on rural-ish areas, away from environmental pollution (not just lead, but also particulate matter dust/NOx from roads, industrial airborne toxins, and noise).
> Cant most people just go hook up at a bar or smth if they're that desperate?

Most people can "just go hook up" at a bar or whatever, but then again, most people don't pay for escorts. Some people can't "just go hook up", though, and I would assume those people form a significant part of escorts' client base (the author described these as inexperienced young people). The author also described other motivations, like busy rich people, and people wanting to cheat on their partners.

Can you really apply KPIs to that? Can you apply KPIs to gold?
It's not really so. You create Tethers out of thin air, buy BTCs from it, the price rises. Then you sell them for real dollars, while unbacked tethers remain on someone's accounts. Now, if USDT holders would want to withdraw it, they might run into some unexpected obstacle. So far it looks like nobody withdraws USDTs, so this fraudlently injected liquidity remains on the exchanges, powering the current bubble.

(and mind me, I'm a bitcoin maximalist, but I just don't see how bitcoin's price can be considered real at this point)
The key idea is this:

I have no chance to forget what `i` is, but if I write:

Then I'll just have no idea when I scroll down.

Correct. As long as people are using stuff in production, the high costs of switching ensure that some maintenance will keep happening. That's why we still have things like COBOL, even though I don't think much of anyone is all that enthusiastic about it.
Here's a KPI: do you find it useful for something other than the fact that the price might go up?

I know I do, for a fairly large number of reasons, many of which revolve around "protecting value".

And also: the price has a tendency to go up long term, nice icing on the cake.
You can put the code into godbolt right now and see that it's optimized out. The C and C++ standards say the compiler can make plenty of assumptions about what can and can't be aliased, and they generally won't hesitate to exploit this for optimization purposes. If they did not do this, C++ in particular would be pretty screwed as a high performance language (C might still fare okay in benchmarks, though not in real programs).

So their goal is to manipulate public opinion more effectively. This approach is backfiring, causing more and more people to lose faith in social science in general.

The focus should be on enlightening, not convincing. If real personal stories don't lead readers to the same conclusions, perhaps the premise is incorrect. People are smart enough to see through over simplified explanations.

I can't speak for other nations, but realistically the US unemployment/welfare system is game-able to the extent that many people can choose to just get by this way instead.

It doesn't matter whether retail traders buy trillions worth of this new ETF or not. The ETF is a futures ETF. It is not backed by any Bitcoin. It's a pure speculation on the future price of BTC.

Hence the only thing this ETF does that affects the BTC price is drive the hype even higher.

You can mix-and-match, e.g.

Yeah, but you would need a new type certificate if the model of the engine is different from the version that was certified. Not to mention, you'd need a lead-free-compatible engine that physically fits into the plane.
I have just as much respect for those who have written a complete transpiler as for those who have built a complete compiler, because, unless the differences between the source and target languages are trivial, much of the pipeline is identical.

If your target is something like C/JS, your translation stage must be fully aware of the idiosyncrasies of the target language. If you are targeting machine code, you will have to include optimization and register allocation stages before generating machine code and the final executable/library.

You can feel free to do that, but as an Apple dev, if I get assigned a radar, I'll do my absolute best to fix it. If I hear about some problem online, I'll expect "someone" to look into it, but that someone is unlikely to be me - you know, until they assign me a radar for it.

It doesn't sound like you've had a great experience with radar, but it remains the single best route to having something you don't like happening, stop happening.

I don't think the system is perfect, I don't think the company is perfect, I'm sure as hell not perfect, but it's difficult to fix anything until you know about it, and there's some context ("it crashed" is a surprisingly common public radar, FWIW).

Here's one truth I know: In any system as complex as an OS, used by literally millions of people, there are never going to be sufficient QA personnel to find every corner-case. QA usually find the obvious ones (and some of the not-so-obvious ones) but simple maths show that if even 0.001% of users have a problem on an application/OS used by 100,000,000[1] then that's 1000 people (reasonably) complaining about something. When that figure reaches 1,000,000,000 [2] it only needs to affect 0.0001% of users for there to be sufficient complaints that news coverage will definitely pick it up.

Could Apple do more ? Sure they could. Every company could always do more, in every respect. Do you want your bug fixed in a timely manner ? File a radar [3]

> There's no catastrophic cancellation or anything. And floating point has much more dynamic range than precision, so to speak, so until h literally reaches zero you aren't running into trouble.

I just tried it to be sure, in C with "double", and organized the calculation the way it's described in the paper you cited, formula 2.1.

It failed due to catastrophic rational cancellation close to an interpolation point, depending on the values involved. An equality test was not enough.

Approaching the first interpolation point, before it transitioned from the correct result, there were some incorrect Inf results prior to it switching to Nan for an input not equal to any interpolation point.

This was trivial 1d interpolation between two points, where the points were (0.0 => 10.0, 1.0 => 20.0).

I think the Slowlaris moniker was not due to Solaris itself, but the speed of their SPARC processors. I used to work very closely with x86 Solaris for financial trading and it was performant (and stable!) on Intel hardware at the time (circa 2010). At the time Solaris 10 was feee as in beer. When Oracle took over they got rid of this and wanted $1K per CPU socket per year on non Sun/Oracle hardware. Needless to say everything went to Linux rather quickly.

I do prefer FreeBSD over most Linux distros (except Slackware) from a philosophical standpoint.
I liked the books. The sense of claustrophobia they conveyed was very well done, though I don't know if it was intentional. I also liked the exploration of China.

I don't really agree about the characters except for the ones of the third book. The third book feels a bit like a "history lesson through the eyes of this specific person".

I don't really value the "hardness" of SF though.
Just do a simple mental exercise and imagine if somebody would sell 1.88M BTC (10% of the current supply) in a span of 24 hours. Where would it take the price, and what would be the resulting market cap?

According to your claims, it would reduce the market cap by 10%, right?

They should have understood their core ambition / pain point themselves earlier, and structured the product and strategy based on it. If many people clearly have this problem and it has not been addressed, that's their differentiator.

Though I'm glad they did finally figure it out, I think the lesson is to really reflect on your goals before pitching anything.

What are the KPIs for any store of value? I don’t think you can value Bitcoin in the same way you value a revenue generating business. I think the value makes more sense when you look at it as an abstract and digital store of value to replace existing solutions that require trusting another party and are subject to easier censorship.

I think looking at the total number of transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain doesn’t tell the full story anymore either. There are thousands of new cryptocurrencies and other solutions, each with transactional activity. Increased usage on Ethereum, lightning network, Solana, etc indirectly benefits BTC, since, BTC is the tried and tested protocol with arguably the most decentralisation and no figurehead.

You do know that hyperinflation refers to inflation that exceeds 50% per month, right?

5% yearly inflation is just plain old inflation.
For context, a worker on an H1-B can be in the US for a total 6 years. Within that time frame, their employer can sponsor them for a green card, which allows them to stay indefinitely and keep the job. However, through the lens of the government, what actually happens in this transition is that the H1-B worker’s job disappears and a new job appears. The H1-B employee must apply to this job and compete fairly with Americans for it. If they come out winning, they can get a green card. Otherwise, the American gets the job and the foreigner goes home, probably. These job offers have to be posted in a variety of ways endorsed by the government.

From my read looking at other articles on the matter (https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/facebook-face-claim...), Facebook is accused of not circulating enough these job postings to and making it too easy for the non-American they already hired to keep their job. They’re not creating jobs that entire populations except the US can see.

What is your ‘app’ and how does it get untrusted input without any server being involved?

There is also a spec for how html should work.

And finally, 100% of the useful functionality of this ‘api’ could be implemented using a Javascript library or server side. Yes, browsers have slight disagreements over handling broken html. So the first step of server side sanitation is to remove the broken stuff. This also removes a lot of cross browser incompatibility. And then you select tags and only allow the tags you want. Basic xss sanitation like it’s 1999.

Nobody needs any built in api for this. This proposal is about solving a solved problem.

Not only that, industry paid for "science" that hid the dangers. People today however seem to strangely think this doesn't happen anymore.
I haven't filed an RFC yet, but I have a plan that I'm optimistic can land sometime that would let you write:

struct User {
id: Id,
email: EMail,
name: String = String::new(),
age: u16 = 0,
}

let user = User { id, email, .. }; // valid
let user = User { id, .. }; // complain about email missing

It would leverage `const` expressions, so it would desugar effectively to the same as if you had written:

const DEFAULT_USER_NAME: String = String::new();
const DEFAULT_USER_AGE: u16 = 0;

struct User {
id: Id,
email: EMail,
name: String,
age: u16,
}

let user = User { id, email, name: DEFAULT_USER_NAME, age: DEFAULT_USER_AGE };

The above assumes that String::new will be const at some point (it can be).

If this ever lands, then there will be less need to write Builder traits by hand.

Also, at some point the free-standing `default()` function that calls `Default::default()` will land, making it that much shorter to write (without any new features like I'm proposing).

It's far from clear that native Americans lacked the means of initial European settlers.

I agree that we should not indulge in "magical thinking", but non-American cultures display a wide variety of sensibilities with respect to defining "used up". There are traditions even within Europe that are relatively respectful of carrying capacity, but they have mostly been trampled on by industrialization and capitalism. It's entirely possible that native American resource management was closer to these older European traditions than those of the last 200 years.
I've used a N900 and I don't see what massive difference there is between its resistive touchscreen and a capacitive touchscreen when it comes to user experience. The N900 achieved good feedback using the vibration motor and extremely basic animations. I don't think you realistically need more than what the Hildon UI gave you when it comes to a good user experience. The Hildon UI targeted much older hardware (albeit with proprietary graphics drivers). It should be possible to replicate the performance of the Hildon UI with the lima drivers if an explicit focus was placed on ensuring that above-all the UI was responsive rather than being pretty.

The problem here is the unyielding reality that power corrupts. This is true if this power comes in the form of Government, or Corporations.

Society today has self feeding feedback loop that is going to continue to grow where in government regulations are used to phase out small companies in favor of larger companies, as those companies become corrupt or at best at odds with the population, the population demands they be more heavily regulated which then leads to more power and more corruption in both government and corporations.

The only real solution to this is less powerful more distributed government, but people largely fail recognize this reality instead focusing on "electing the right" people or party.

Power Corrupts, the only way to end corruption is to deny it power.

AR isn't going to get big unless Facebook recruits other firms to make investments in content.

Those investments are going to happen until a decent AR dev kit exists, but for now very expensive $2500 headsets are not good enough in terms of

* brightness
* size
* drop a pair on anybody right now for a demo

points out the problems are difficult; industry badly wants full color, but a green-only design helps on all of those fronts.
