I was thinking blocks of 10 because I can itoa(the number of tens) and then concat with the subset of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. that I care about. I guess with blocks of 15 you just need to do two itoas, and worry about two types of block vs 3.

Hah! Literally exactly the thing I'd like to build (productize my process, attach relevant metadata for filtering/sorting, imagine being able to "dial in" your partisan feed to get a sense of what each wing is saying) when I somehow do find some time. I've been spewing ideas at my wife about it for over a year now, but life circumstances threw me in a different direction temporarily.
That's the big problem with these massive tech companies. They want to suck more and more of your life into their ecosystems, but they don't want to take on the responsibility that comes with it.

When losing your account just meant not being able to look at a few emails or social media their attitude was (almost) acceptable, but when losing access to your account could mean not being able to pay for things (apple pay, google pay), not being able to access stuff you've paid for (any digital content purchases through the account), possibly not even being able to access your phone; then it becomes a more serious responsibility and just suspending an account for arbitrary reasons is no longer acceptable.

Unfortunately, the tech companies don't seem to have got the message and still regularly ruin people's lives by banning accounts for no discernible reason and giving no recourse to getting them back.

I think if they are going to continue on the course they are on there needs to be some sort of campaign to force them to take more responsibility and to give people a proper channel to get bans investigated. Enforced by some sort of ombudsman or something.

Another option could be that if an account is banned for ToS violations the account holder can still log in and access "essential" services such as payments, plus have read-only access to stuff like emails and photos so they can still rescue their lives.

I would say a mix of both will be essential.
Why does eBay not use 2FA using TOTP or U2F FIDO?
It is 2021, and it is well established that U2F is the gold standard. Is there any regulatory reasons?
I don't believe that is true.

While nobody can deny the fact that most of the time in programming indeed is not spent writing, how about this: you type slower than you can think.

So, when you get an idea, it's nice to be able to transfer the idea to the source code, so you can then move on the next idea or next part of the same one. You don't want to be held back by an inferior input method or a language with a lot of ceremonial about doing simple stuff. This happens in short bursts, even if the total time is quite short.

Sometime it happens so that one thinks faster than one can speak. This usually leads you to get mixed up in words.

A fast way to enter ideas is an important part of developing ergnomics.

> How many experiments, on the terminal or the bench, are run with noise in the underlying test conditions?

All of them, approximately. There are a few journals like http://www.orgsyn.org/ that consist entirely of rigorously vetted methods, but that is definitely an outlier. The significance of the noise will depend on the specifics, of course.

I'm fairly sure there have been a few high profile retractions of 'metal-free catalysis' that were ultimately traced to metal impurities in the reagents. There was also an incident with the DOE where in the process of refurbishing some of the nuclear arsenal they found that they couldn't reproduce one of the necessary ingredients due to some then unknown change. I am blanking on the (code)name of the material they were trying to reproduce though.

A building meant to house 4500 students, with only two entrances? There's a word for that: deathtrap.

For more than just reasons if fire in my opinion. I'm surprised nobody has said the word gun yet. Are they going to be scanning people and checking their backpacks art he door? That sure would make it feel more like a prison.
So what type of dorm encourages any of those activities? A shared double or triple, like what most students deal with?
I did not ask "which one to invest into" as in getting a suggestion.

I asked about which one you would invest into and your reasoning behind it.
I think that a lot of the motivation for flash loans is that they democratize capital-intensive arbitrage attacks, making the attacks happen sooner, making all of the insecure contracts fail fast and improving the overall security of the DeFi ecosystem. In other words, it's supposed to make platforms fail and people lose money, because each hack exposes a bad contract and takes it out of the environment.

If flash loans didn't exist, then an entity with sufficient capital can still alter prices and exploit differentials in borrowing costs to profit. This is a common complaint about the mainstream financial system - examples include market corners, short squeezes, George Soros breaking the Bank of England, or the Fed artificially lowering borrowing costs for the U.S. Treasury. But they're limited to people who already have a billion dollars. Flash loans let everybody have a billion dollars, so that if there's an arbitrage opportunity you don't need capital to take advantage of it.
I have always found gender in German confusing. This gives a little more context.

Of course in English we have a tiny bit of gendered nouns where we append "man" or "woman" to some job titles based on the gender of the person holding the title (policeman, congressman, etc). This has become problematic when we use the plural.

Also in English we have gendered pronouns which has become a hot topic in the last couple of years. I wonder what people who speak languages without gendered pronouns think of the current kerfuffle.

There are some brilliant people out there. I have no doubt solidity experts can spot vulns by inspection. My point is that auditing is necessary but not sufficient.

Its a greater issue in security where audits and testing can lead one into a false sense of security, 'because it is audited'.
The original post was saying all the hacked contracts were 'unaudited'. While this is true, I am arguing that in nearly every case, the audit would just be a copy paste of the same data the solidity developer would see when they ran the open source tooling.
seems like probably right? i wonder why it's even limited; i'm guessing somehow it can't faithfully represent just "normal" colors at that level of brightness, but can do hightlights per HDR information. which which case something like a terminal emulator seems like that should be fine. (presumably some battery life impact too of course, but hopefully not too bad!)

otoh maybe it's something like only a small portion at once of the screen can be mega-bright, in which case the terminal emulator idea isn't going to work out. (though maybe you could super-bright an area around the current line, which would be better than nothing...)

A Roadmap to a Post-Scarcity Economy
Speaking from the perspective of a US commuter, the typical commuter here is probably not living in an urban city core, but rather the outskirts or suburbs due to affordability issues. So they’re not experiencing urban city life anyways to begin with.

I live outside Manhattan, NYC, into which I and countless others commute into for work. An astounding amount of collective hours is absolutely wasted on commuting into and out of Manhattan. The public transit system here is arguably the best in the US, but still utterly horrible compared to the systems in place in many Asian cities and probably European ones too.
> This has become problematic when we use the plural.

Grammatically, it's not problematic at all. Some people with new ideas completely out of line with the culture at large make a big deal of it.

Intent is literally the heart of criminal law. You have to have intended a crime for it to be a criminal act. In this context, this means that you had to intend to do things that would legally constitute a crime, even if you did not know that the actions/result would be a crime. For some crimes, specific intent is not required for all of the factors (for example, for statutory rape, you do not need to have intended or even known that the other person was underage; for many manslaughter charges you do not have to have intended to kill someone so long as you intended to do things that could reasonably have been expected to cause someone's death).

Intent is also a fundamental factor in tort law, where intentional acts can literally quadruple the amount of damages the plaintiff may receive.

And in contract law, intent is a basic foundational element of a contract. And indeed, a number of contractual disputes arise over one party intending to make money, not actually making money, and suing their counter-party as a result. And many times, the plaintiff wins...

This situation is probably governed by contract law. Since those disputes turn entirely on the specific facts proving or disproving mutual intent, it's hard to say who would win in this dispute since only a small subset of the relevant facts are publicly known.
I cleaned bathrooms (and buffed floors) for a Michael's hobby store many years ago. It was a morning job, every other day, and was a second job on top of my full-time job. I desperately needed more money, and made the choice to do this to assist with that.

I never felt "degraded" by it. I chose to do it to earn much-needed extra income. I eventually went into construction, and never felt "degraded" when I had to dig foundations, which is essentially ditch digging for a different purpose.

This idea that people have no agency in their life and are perpetually victims is itself dehumanizing and disempowering. I'm grateful that nobody was around me telling me I was a victim of an evil system when I was doing these kinds of jobs while working to get into tech and feeding a new family at the same time. I probably would have listened to them, gotten discouraged, and kicked back and waited for someone else to solve my problems.

How many people concerned about anti-vax rhetoric, for example, can even name the person in charge of YouTube, a far more potent vector?

This article makes a very cogent point: Zuckerberg has too much baggage with the general public and Meta would be much better off if he stepped out of the light.

It's amazing how much bike-shedding there is here around the name and logo, and how little capacity most have for what these changes actually mean.

Meta is going full in on the metaverse... so that's going to be hitting some critical mass fairly soon (less than a decade). And that's nuts. We should take this time to enjoy living before that moment. Who knows what changes it will bring, but surely enough that there will be no going back.
>Microsoft had zero chance in the mobile game

I'm not sure I agree. They needed to get past a Windows-centric mindset just like Intel would have needed to get past an x86-centric one. But it's not clear to me why Microsoft couldn't have built off of a very large developer and user community--and enterprise buyers--to have at least played on a somewhat equal footing to Google and Apple.
Yep, my bad! So commutes aren't as significant a contributor as I thought. I ran through some more calculations trying to only use the US, and it looks like the Wh / $ is somewhere around 3.51. Is there any other category of use that isn't being included? This is a pretty stark difference, even being many times more than the first calculation.

Commute: 1.028 TWh

Data centers: ~3.3TWh per trillion (for USD) = 132 TWh

ATMs: 470,135 independent in the US (1.27MWh each per year) = 0.597TWh

Banks: ~98,000 in the US (PDF wasn't clear, using 60MWh each per year) = 5.88 TWh

Card networks: ~1TWh/yr (just assuming "half" of global)

Total: 140.5TWh/yr

There's a huge number of people in fossil fuel industries. Not only mining and refining, but gas stations and fuel oil truckers etc. It will be very disruptive to tell all those people that their jobs are obsolete and to find something else to do. And the land end equipment that all those companies had bought is now worthless, then they can't pay their loans, so you have to bail out them or at least their banks, so the banks have some money they can lend to other people.

I've never heard them referred to as anything else, so YMMV
Makes sense. I think it is from a definition perspective, though. Statically, it is easy to define things independent of the process that governs them. Such that it is a middle college class that really covers dynamic systems for structural analysis. With most earlier classes being static analysis.

Even electrical classes started on analog circuits and power transmission later in courses. Early circuits are centered around ready dc connections. Or steady state ac ones.

An accusation of gish gallop is not a substitute for an argument, though it is an awfully convenient dismissal. We can keep it simple if you'd like: if these vaccines are so effective, why are cases at record highs in the UK [0] and Israel (and other highly vaccinated countries)? If these vaccines are so safe, why did VAERS reports skyrocket months after vaccine administration began?

Terrible title to just talk about controversy driving clicks
> Because we have to process hundreds of gigabytes of art assets to build game packages, we wanted a fast, non-cryptographic hash for use in change detection and deduplication. We had been using a cryptographic hash (SHA-1), but it was unnecessarily slowing things down.

That's because you were doing a potentially silly thing: hashing every byte.

What does a hash tell you? If two hashes are different, it confirms that the objects are different. If two hashes are the same, they could be the same object or they could be different.

For that purpose, you don't have to hash everything: just hash the areas where objects are likely to differ.

If two 15 gigabyte files are likely to have differences in their first kilobyte, then hashing just first kilobyte (negligibly fast) will work just as well as hashing 15 gigabytes.

If two files are of different length, then they are not the same. How about:

hash(<length> + <first kilobyte> + <last kilobyte>)

For deduplication, a 32 bit CRC could probably be reasonably efficient. No matter what hash you use, you have to verify the collisions. If CRC32 is enough to make false positives rare over your type of data set, it's good enough.
Okay, so the obvious question is... crypto. Do these large institutions have any interest in opening up interfaces to the crypto ecosystem, are they skeptical as hell about the concept generally, is the technology mature enough to start seeing integration with common tasks like sending money in these popular "instant" apps (e.g. Venmo uses a stablecoin to transfer money, without even showing the crypto part to the user)?

I'm wondering if my local credit union wants to hold my BTC for me, if I wanted to do something like that.
This brings up a slightly tangential thought I occasionally have. Is there as much of a gender "confusion" (for lack of a better word) in parts of the world that use languages that have gendered nouns? Over the past 40 years at least it seems that in the USA all of these new labels and identifiers have evolved for people who perceived their gender as not "masculine" or "feminine" but are something different altogether.

I am curious if the language of the culture has anything to do with this, since English doesn't use gendered nouns so maybe we have less deeply entrenched ideas about gender and what is masculine or what is feminine and are more likely to explore that space.
