To have "easy banking", first you need to live in a place with healthy financial and banking institutions.

To have that, you need to have a government that is able to give confidence to investors that the money is not going to be misused or appropriated.

To have that, you need solid political institutions, corruption can not be systemic, and leadership needs to have a sense of stability in regards to social-economic policy.

El Salvador has none of that. Farmers can have smartphones and even good data connectivity, they still won't be able to get credit to invest on their work, they still will depend in large landowners for their livelihood, they will still be coerced to vote for the local baron who has the connection with higher officials and with the drug traffickers, etc.

Internet access is the lowest hanging-fruit and the least of the concerns.
If you don't need the self-consistent mathematical theory behind it you should call it the Campbell warp drive, since John W. Campbell laid out the mechanism in 1957. Indeed, you could even call it the Brown warp drive, after the first use of the term "space-warp drive" by Fredric Brown in 1949.

As an alternative to step 2, you could also score the filtered vcf file (this is key to get rid of most of the initially millions of variants) with a variant prioritization framework like CADD (cadd.gs.washington.edu) to immediately highlight 'interesting' variants.

I learned vi on Xenix, and used its clones several times since then.

Same applies to Emacs, first touch on DG/UX, although I was on the XEmacs side of the fence and it was my main programming editor until around 2005.

Both of them were a cruch for lack of proper IDE tooling on UNIX clones, thankfully those days are gone and I don't miss having them as my only option to work on UNIX clones.

What you're describing sounds almost agile... joke aside, as I tried to point at, the original idea was pretty good, but it's certainly not what the snake oil people made of it and will sell you: https://www.scrumalliance.org/

The original Scrum also talks about servant leadership, when in reality in 99% of wannabe agile organizations, everything is just about enabling some manager's power trips.

I have a funny/sad/gross anecode: my flat neighbor had alzheimer's and I helped his wife for a few years, but really nothing much/special -- just getting him out of bed or off the toilet when he wouldn't budge (I can only imagine what his wife went through).

But very frequently when he was on the toilet he would play with his erm... sword and unsheathe it (Easter Europe, I'm cut, he wasn't) and his wife asked me why he did that?

And I was like.... "erm.... I think that question is overdue by about 40 years.."

I think Animats is calling it zero sum because the value of Bitcoin is essentially based on speculation rather than use so relies on new entrants to prop it up and the coins are generated within the system. Basically new coins do not represent new dollars coming in and generating new coins all the time is inherently deflationary. So not only do you need demand to outstrip supply to keep the value going up you also need new dollar entrants if you ever want to cash out.

Pandas TA – A Technical Analysis Library in Python 3
When I see someone very devoted to a programming language, I see it as a sign that they might have problem with their perspective, not as a testament to the language's quality.

Rust might be great (I don't know) but this aspect of the community makes me less likely to try the language, not more.
Multiple-cursor editing is a nice and cool feature, and for what it's worth there are some vim plugins to get it in vim, but let's see the alternative:

- multiple-cursor: select non-contiguous pieces of text, then edit them all at once.

- vim macro/repeat: edit a piece of text, and repeat on similar occurrences.

The vim "way" could be, `/;$` to select the trailing semi-colon, then `cgn` to edit it (enter the curly block once in insert mode, then exit with `<Esc>`), and now you can repeat on the next trailing semi-colon simply by hitting `.` (dot).

So, instead of first looping on the occurrences to get multiple cursors, then do the editing, you first do the editing on an occurrence, and you loop on the editing. There is admittedly less of a "wow" factor, but I don't think it is any less powerful.

One of the options that YouTube should have provided creators is that by default any copyrighted or content should be muted or that relevant portion/area of the clip masked if their DL models are good enough for video analysis. Instead of the whole strike based system, if their goal is to not allow copyrighted content then it should be prevented during upload instead of giving right-holders revenue from rest of the video's content.

Unless it's changed recently, OS X has essentially no protection from synfloods. The TCP stack predates FreeBSD's syncache, and it was never ported. It doesn't have syncookies either. The pf port's synproxy stuff doesn't seem to work either.

You've got to put some sort of firewall or something in front, don't let it accept tcp connections directly. You might be OK, but not great if you just set the listen queue really short; at least that should prevent the machine from falling over when it's flooded, but without syncookies, chances are you won't be able to make new connections either.

Actually aren’t the vi commands a superset of ed? Though I suppose that means ed is simpler.
Nah, that’s not what I mean. It is a Turing complete language — if it is used to interpret some other language inside itself, it can’t add anything to that languages’ guarantees automatically. You can write a javascript interpreter in rust that is trivial to exploit and access e.g. the file system or whatever.

Take some responsibility and ownership for the authority and soft power you wield as a very senior individual contributor.

You've been in this industry too long, and have risen too far to not feel a sense of personal investment and responsibility to 1) the benchmarks your company publishes about your product, and 2) the policies around public experimentation and transparency with that product.

Talk to your manager, talk to his manager, figure out who is responsible for both and FIX IT. You are the only major provider that has a DeWitt Clause. It's embarrassing.

But a C64 is still only talking about 64kB of RAM. The post you're replying to claims that Template complexity gets unreasonable on a large machine, such as a Linux system. Not sure I agree, but "it's fine on a C64" isn't evidence in your favour unless you've forgotten Linux doesn't even run on a Commodore 64.
I keep hearing this argument but I really don't buy it, sorry. I think that over time these other chains are also going to naturally decentralize, at least in the case of Solana the primary barrier of entry is hardware. I think that actually having a product that works today is more important than a platform that hasn't been scalable since inception. Maybe ETH 2.0 will release sometime and all the ongoing scalability efforts actually do work, but until then I think it's absurd to write off other chains that are vastly outperforming it.

Edit -
It's really, really easy to see that a transaction on Ethereum is not even remotely worth the gas it charges today. I remember hearing ETH people trashing BTC transaction prices in 2017, but yeah I'm sorry, this is so beyond absurd I cannot support or recommend anyone use ETH as a layer 1 until it is actually a scalable chain. Not in theory, but actually works. Wasn't sharding and layering discussed in 2017? How much longer until it's actually usable? Gas price for minting a JPG the other day for me would have been $300. This isn't worth it in any world unless you are sitting on a fat stack of ETH you bought under $200. But then you should just sell it instead of actually using it. Don't you see the problem? Why do you think there's so many articles talking about how terrible Web3 is? It couldn't possibly be that people's first impression of the tech is on a financially impractical chain.

I like working in Solidity and think the EVM is great, and there's a lot of cool projects in the Ethereum ecosystem. But ETH is an unusable L1 for the vast majority of people until they solve scalability. No amount of decentralization dreams are worth it. Hell, you could even just use Ethereum classic if you wanted. It does everything ETH does because it's just ETH except they didn't have a centralized Ethereum foundation mutate the chain history because someone stole a bunch of money from them and only costs like $50 the last time I checked. If you care so much about decentralization shouldn't you like the chain that didn't have it's history changed by a centralized organization?

If you really want the most decentralized network possible, Bitcoin is it. I haven't looked into the taproot update too much yet, but maybe it'll be actually supported before ETH scales at this rate.
You're goning to need <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> tag for any reactive design with mobile browsers since otherwise the site will look completely different between browsers and browser versions as they use different rules for how to render sites.

The worst part of this is that simple mostly text sites without a fixed-with layout would look perfectly on mobile if this tag was the default but somehow mobile browser vendors thought it was better to hack around sites with table layouts by giving them a larger viewport (but still inconsitently scale the font sizes so you have to zoom in and out to read different parts).
This is surprising to me. I often find FAQs pretty useful.
I think it's crazy that Data61 stopped working on sel.4

But this is a terrible blog piece. It's trying to parse English language statements into verifiable statements - when natural language is all about context.

The key thing with Data61's strategy is "Data61 will be all about AI".

This post tries to argue that sel.4 could support "cybersecurity for AI systems" but the points that are made could equally be applied to any cybersecurity research.

Trying to find some dishonesty in Data61's statements is pointless. Data61's policy is to be about AI and trusted systems research aren't in the AI field.

Argue the policy is bad! Or argue there should be a separate thing to support sel.4. Both of these are reasonable stances.

But as soon as Data61 said their future was in AI the writing was on the wall for sel.4.

I mean, the OP post already alludes to the issue with american labor where you're pressured to do something like fake a death in the family to justify taking a day off of what should be a totally replaceable hourly shift. Hourly wage labour jobs are pressured to give those overly personal explanations to get managers to respect any request for time off and it's just seen as the norm.
> I think Animats is calling it zero sum because the value of Bitcoin is essentially based on speculation rather than use so relies on new entrants to prop it up and the coins are generated within the system.

This really depends on what you think is going to happen going forward. Surely the current value is propped up by speculation, but are the speculators right? Is future-Bitcoin going to be very useful and thus valuable for something, so that the speculators will eventually have someone to sell their Bitcoins to other than just more speculators?

It's not impossible for that to happen just because it hasn't already happened. It's also not impossible that it doesn't, in which case the speculators themselves will be the ones left holding the bag. But that's how it goes, isn't it? High reward, high risk.
Transactions on most L2 chains these days are less than a penny.

There are dozens of popular mobile wallets that make viewing, sending, receiving coins / nfts trivial.

The problem that it solves is that there is no need for you imaginary ledger company to exist at all in a blockchain model, the winery cuts out a rent seeking service and the user gets a more secure and portable product.

Automation isn't just going to hit manual labor, blockchain and web3 will allow for the emergence of fully autonomous "companies" that operate via smart contracts.

Not saying this conclusion in the article is related to testosterone, but I have to speculate on it.

Nah the corporation is the rock - they aren't a market participant so them paying you and your friends a dividend isn't a net loss in the market for rocks. Instead simply holding rocks and not trading them is still generating money for the market participants.

Bitcoin doesn't generate intrinsic value from a business operation - it's just a digital version of a rock. There's no money for it to pay out. Therefore you have to limit the example to the exchange which gives it value, which again is a zero-sum game in a way that traditional markets for business and government equity and bonds is not.

> >"white" doesn't represent a shared culture and history

> I think this is pretty objectively false,

It’s imprecisely stated, perhaps, but it gets at the real difference.
Perhaps more accurately, “‘white’ is not usually the primary ethnic identity of the people to whom it, as a racial label, applies, in the United States.”

> if it were true, then the white-black dichotomy wouldn't work.

The real difference in the degree to which the two identify a shared culture is central to the dichotomy. The Black American experience of White racism involves the forced erasure of preexisting, more specific historical culture communities, ties, traditions, and identity. The White American experience leaves more specific ethnic identities intact and generally dominant over White identity except among a subset within White supremacists.
You could say the same about US and EU.

It depends a bit on how they count contexts and injections. I did take it a little bit further after my post. I aimed to avoid double-dipping on contexts, but there's at least one element that could probably be counted for more than one injection context (and requires different strategies to target these different contexts). If nothing else, there are a couple of opportunities beyond the initial fourteen to further sharpen your XSS skills if that's of interest.
