Just the hatred to keep them online and clicking.

Terrifying. I have been randomly assaulted (not a woman, it was a physical assault) on a train in Vienna once. Everybody was surprised and scared and nobody did a thing. I got out not seriously injured by sheer fortune.

It's probably a fact of our alienated urban environment where everybody is an untrusted stranger anyway and nobody wants to take even minimal responsibility.

I bet such things happen way less in rural environments and in more tight knitted communities.

People are not willing to pay 60k because they think Bitcoin is somehow worth 60k based on their analysis. They trust the market to be somewhat efficient and they want to get involved. if 60k is a current fair price let's be it.

The problem is that the price is propped up by Tether printing tokens which are then used to buy BTC. This is like the NFT fraud where you pass your NFT around your wallets to create an illusion of artificial demand and the price going up. There is a reason wash trading is illegal. "People are coming with their own USD to buy" isn't an excuse in such case.

Strongly disagree: it's both. The makers of the order, and its supporters, really do care about architectural styles and they really do think modern buildings are ugly.

> to refute your statement and go even stronger I don't know of ANY pls that require * operands be the same type.

This really comes down to a lack of experience on your part. Haskell requires both arguments to be of the same type and only in the case where it can reasonably infer from a literal that it could be coerced will it do so. OCaml, as another example, requires an entirely different multiplication operator for floats.

Requiring the same type for both arguments is not as rare a position as you've made it out to be, and not a showstopper in any case either.
There seems to be a lot of confusion what this means. There are two main uses for blockchain tech in games at the moment. One is as cryptocurrency for in game transactions, the other is for NFTs.

The issues with cryptocurrency are volatility and that the decentralised structure means nobody is liable if things go wrong. With VBucks for example, the VBuck literally stops with Epic. Crypto is too often seen as a way to monetise without assuming liability.

NFTs are another can of worms. All an NFT does is associate an account with an asset ID on the blockchain. For internet traded artwork this means a string associated with a URL of an artwork belongs to this person and can be traded to someone else. In a game that ID might be associated with a magic sword in an online game. For that to matter, other games would have to recognise that association and honour it so if that customer gets an account with their game, that NFT corresponds with a sword in their game too. It's all still base on trust though. There's no guarantee that a particular NFT would be recognised by any other game, or even a new version of the same game, or be recognised as representing a similar asset.

Basically Steam doesn't want to touch this stuff, because they don't want to be on the hook, either financially or reputation-ally, for any actual or implied guarantees in this area made by games on their platform. Guarantees that nobody, not even the games publishers themselves are in a position to make, due to the inherently decentralised nature of this sort of blockchain tech.
Minor quibbles about game remarks:

Contrary to what the article claims, draws in chess are very common (on the other hand, they're exceedingly rare in Go, and often impossible due to fractional komi).

Sente in Go does correspond to having the initiative, but a move that compels a player into a particular follow-up move should be called a "kikashi" (forcing move).
Julia is dynamically typed, while Go+ is static typed.

This kind of thinking is less well received in Europe, which is why e.g. so many cities banned uber and only let them back in as a registered taxi app to contact registered taxi drivers charging regulated taxi prices, while a lot of US cities turned a blind eye.

Those same regulations also kept a higher floor of taxi quality, which helped avoid the stereotype that exists in the US of "regular taxis are always dirty and late", so there wasn't consumer outcry for their return like US cities which had tried banning them.
It hasn't "morphed" into anything. It always was a way to easy money (while lying through their teeth), but way too many people are naive and couldn't see it earlier.

The thing with legal taxis is that the quality of their service is complete shit. At least in some countries.

You dont know how much you will pay (their estimates are always too low) and the first questions by the driver are to check if you know the town. If you dont sound like a local, then they will drive you through the longest route possible. And worst: you can do nothing about it. No way to report the licensed driver. Before uber it was like a license to steal.

In uber you can give 1 star - so the cheaters dont get any customers + you have some idea of price and route.

IIRC ~2 decades ago we were dequeueing from JMS, updating RDBMS, and then enqueuing all under the cover of JTA (Java Transaction API) for atomic ops.

Using a very broad definition of ‘noSQL’ approach that would include solutions like Kafka, the issue becomes clear: A 2PC or ‘distributed transaction manager’ approach ala JTA comes with a performance/scalability cost — arguably a non-issue for most companies who don’t operate at LinkedIn scale (where Kafka was created).

That has nothing to do with Tether. It has everything to do with people willing to pay that price.

It has everything to do with Tether.

Tether is being minted with an illusionary value of $1USD and "loaned" to favored insiders which use it to buy Bitcoin and inflate the price.

The fact that Bitcoin trades for $60k is the result of this being done in the past. The reason new investors pay $60k is their expectation it will continue into the future.

More than half of all Bitcoin trades involve Tether. The two are inextricably linked whether you realize it or not.

What you have described is an aspect of most classic financial fraud schemes --- an influx of new investors is required to keep the scheme going. While it continues, everyone is happy. But when the music stops (as it always does) someone is inevitably left without a chair at the table.

Given the state of search functionality built into websites I use often I can only imagine you have a very heavily curated list.

In my experience so many sites have searches that return bad results, restrict your ability to see a list of results due to some poorly thought through typeahead functionality, or simply do not work without third party scripts and cookies that I often resort to "site:<domain>" in ddg or worse, google.

I find hierarchical indexes only of marginal use when looking for information. I can only know where in the hierarchy something is if I'm very familiar with the website - because many things could logically be in more than one place.

In some circles, phenomena like these are believed to be "spiritual energy downloads" from Source, which is a metaphor to explain an influx of knowledge from an unknown origin.

They typically provide confirmations about your life path, predict something that will occur, or provide much-needed inspiration. They can occur while you are awake or, more commonly, while you are dreaming.

They are sometimes accompanied by physical discomfort such as headaches or bodily aches and pains.
Good deconstruction, but do you really think the CCP is against western decadence? If that was so, why did they allow Western media/social media to completely infiltrate for decades?

How Many People Can the Earth Support? (1998)
Paywall: https://archive.is/E5AB8

Cohen is the leading authority on Earth's poplation limits and carrying capacity. He's the first to say that the question and answer are complicated, but that does not mean that there are no limits.

In his book, How many people can the earth support?, Cohen visits many estimates and/or claims regarding carrying capacity and explores the assumptions or logic behind many of these, which range from a low of about 100 million to highs over 12 trillion. Most such estimates cluster around 1--10 billion, and seem more credible than outliers, especially of the high-end group.

This. It offers a persistence mechanism for game mechanics where decentralization is of value. Ownership and identity can become immutable, no longer subject to the whim of developers and publishers. If modeled off of open source crypticurrencies , you might also have the benefit of rigorous security and testing. Riffing off of smart contracts like ethereum offers, you could incorporate game mechanics into a ledger, assigning the rules, content, and access features to models designed and distributed within a blockchain.

Second Life and metaverse type enterprises could benefit, but do could any game with sharding and character persistence.

You'd want to incorporate a community sanity check system, to roll back the results of exploits, based on a distributed moderation and management setup that runs on election, delegation, and community consensus. I see this niche as a great playground to experiment with virtual governance, a way to search the space for systems that could enhance real world government.

really would like to know what this was about and what else the voices in her head told her, especially unrelated stuff. Also if she could talk to them and if so what it was like to have a conversation like that.

i guess i am more on the X-phobes side on this one as i also suspect this woman knew about her tumor and came up with that story because she had to avoid telling the full truth for whatever reason and "this is the easiest way I could think of". However reading more about what happened with these voices while they were active would likely help me to trust her story more...
> renewables simply can't meet base load requirements

We read this since the 1990's. Meanwhile the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption in Europe reached 19.7% in 2019, up from 9.6% in 2004.

A grid-scale storage exists and is already useful: dams (pumped-storage hydroelectricity). Others appear (electric vehicle batteries, hydrogen...). The need for storage is proportional to renewable sources variability, which can be tamed (sources mix, geographic dispersion...).

The main anti-nuclear stunts are the nuclear boo-boos, interpreted as warnings (mainly TMI, Chernobyl, Fukushima).

Renewable are deployed a system (many units, just as nuclear plants) and a mix (many types: wind, solar, biomass...). Analyzing Ivanpah alone isn't sound, as variability is at its max.

There are contraptions reducing the impact (bird...) of wind turbines.

Off-shore (especially windfarms) and desert relieve a fair part of the low-power density effects, and local small systems (for example on rooftops...) also are part of the solution. This leads to a quite respectable density (in terms of useful land waster), while building a nuclear powerplant in a densely populated area becomes more and more difficult (Diablo Canyon's implantation site, Avila Beach, has 1600 inhabitants... on 16.15 km2!).

Even neglecting any direct accident, Diablo Canyons's warm waste may, in case of a new boo-boo, fry many things for many years.

> Each application needs to understand not only the Solid protocol, but the format you are using for your data too.

I don't think we'll be able to avoid that hurdle; we'll need to make sure that the protocol is really simple.

But having to know the data format of the app itself is to be expected. If an app "instagram-on-solid" stores data in a certain way, the alternate app will need to understand those schemas as well to be compatible. That's how interop has always worked, even in the pre-internet age when we were exchanging files on disk.

> It's been a while, have the applications improved?

I haven't looked at apps in a while - but that was indeed moving very slowly.
