This is the real problem. Why wasn't it blocked? We must fix that!
As in, they could have easily stopped many of these hacks, even after they were discovered, but they have zero clue about what to do about them, so they let the money escape, which means crypto to cash through the normal banking system.

Short story:

I had a job offer from one of these financial law enforcement agencies, specifically focused on preventing and tracking crypto hackers. It was rescinded by the new administration due to a mission change in the organization, refocusing on revenue through regulatory enforcement and surveillance rather than protecting Americans from theft and violence.

In reality, calling them incompetent may be charitable. The simplest explanation is that they are profit-driven, and frankly don’t care about any actual harm.

The money from these hacks often goes toward torturing the North Korean people, funding terror against American interests, or supporting violent drug cartels. One of the few things that angers me is that the only thing they are doing about it, is using it to further their surveillance agenda against Americans.

That’s the measure I use.
Chilli peppers are also consumed as independent entities, but chilli powder is definitely a spice. Similarly ginger.
I feel like these are “somebody got a promotion” patterns.

Basically, somebody was able to “prove” to Higher-Up Managers that $X number of these videos were “watched” or “engaged with” (or whatever today’s BS lingo is), and therefore the business “benefited” in some way by “reaching” more people. Profit?

In reality, at least in my case, what happens is: (1) I say “WTF!?!?”, (2) I make a mental note to never ever visit the site again, and (3) (sadly) I see it again and again at different sites.
I don’t necessarily think that a statue is intended by its builder to celebrate a person in their entirety. As two example: I’d agree that it’s unlike the folks who put Fisher’s likeness on that window didn’t mean to celebrate his racism. It’s also interesting that Robert E Lee denounced monuments to the Confederacy before he died; the people erecting statues of him aren’t intending to celebrate his entirety either.

But in practice, raising a statue of somebody raises that person. They’re put forth as the face of the accomplishment, and they’re more than just the accomplishment. Else we’d just raise a tower with the inscription “In recognition of the British spirit, and of the lives lost protecting us from Naziism”

My broader contention is that you don’t need a statue to celebrate the accomplishment, we have plenty of other ways to do that. So when somebody says “hey, lets take down this statue because the person in it did some pretty bigoted things”, the only thing fighting for keeping the statue is inertia. Nobody in the UK is going to forget defeating the Nazis, every other building is inscribed with details about what stood there before the Blitz.

All but demanding that the internet's users bend to the will of a single person's pet project is not likely to garner a positive response, if you must know.
insults aren't an argument, if Wolfram doesn't want to get called out for being a hypocrite a good solution is to not be a hypocrite. The fact Wolfram had no actual answer beyond an insult and dodging the question is pretty telling
Good question. Maybe I'm unclear on the definition of "driver." I've used the term to describe the code that exercises the functions of the chip but provides human readable function headers. It's usually not ridiculously hard, interpreting things like register bit definitions and timing diagrams. And in the absence of published code, I'd have been on the hook to write it myself anyway. Often, talking to something like an ADC through a SPI port on a microcontroller might be 10 or 20 lines of code.

Other cases might be the various organisms we classify as "trees" or "fish" or "crabs", which are valid from a functional or role-based sense, but which aren't robust when considered strictly based on genetic evolution. That is, there have been multiple convertent evolutionary paths which have arrived at similar forms, roles, and niches, despite having hearer relatives or ancestors which don't fall into that category.
Ohhhh, it's a lot more than that.

The video can start playing when you "permit" it to by giving it a suitable input event. Apparently a mouse motion is enough. It doesn't have to be a click. There is a bugzilla item about this somewhere, where the FF devs think that is a good interface. Upton Sinclair anyone?
This is a pretty bad analogy, because there's very little that online advertisers track that license plate readers can't. In both cases, it rarely stretches beyond a dataset of "Which people have visited which (pages|businesses)" and whatever statistical inferences you can claim to make from that data. Businesses already use license plate readers for marketing and analytics purposes. (Although, of course, not as widely deployed or as well-known as advertising cookie tracking)
The difference between telling a child to not get into a stranger's car, vs telling a women not to dress scantily, is that a child would never need to get into a stranger's car (they are often tricked), but an adult woman would want to dress scantily as that is a personal choice of theirs. The fact that there is risk for a woman dressing scantily is the problem - which is why the "actionable advice" for them not to dress that way is called victim blaming.
> I'm curious if SV's culture has changed in the last 15 years…

Money became more important. The amount of money to be made in the dot com boom attracted people for whom $ was the primary driver, and that changed the conversation. It changed the kinds of things that are worked on, and changed day to day life.

Pre dotcom Palo Alto wanted to help the homeless, promotes section 8 housing, SRO for the homeless, and accepts a sometimes weird culture. Had a lower medium income than some neighboring towns.

Today’s Palo Alto: “fuck off jack, I’ve got mine.”

There’s no way the next Grateful Dead, Joan Baez, or Grace Slick would emerge from today’s Silicon Valley.
You mean "yes and..." not no.

Your post has no content explaining why you wrote "No."

This is a bad habit that makes your sentiment confusing.
> I've made a few video game pages where auto-playing MP4s were essential at giving the right message

No. What you say is simply factually inaccurate. I've looked at the web page in your URL and it would be much better without distracting auto-playing video.

The video should play then the user wants it to play. Is that really so hard to understand?
Haha, yeah. "For all intents and purposes", "virtually", and don't forget the weird "stranger on stranger". Perhaps if the perpetrator knows you, it makes it better?
Metamucil can draw water into the lower intestine, which is terrible for some forms of IBS-D. Fibre is worth a try but it's not a magic bullet and can actually cause flares in some people.
Great for Amazon, bad for everybody else. You think Amazon is going to share that cargo space with competitors? Absolutely not. While other retail stores run dry on stock because they're all competing over the same shipping lanes, Amazon will have plenty of supply with its own fleet of ships and planes. The world takeover of Big Tech just took another leap forward.
This makes me think, you could have a friend develop a MVP which you use as a starting point for your project. For example, if you want to create a game, I could write a simple event loop and render a couple triangles on the screen, then give this to you as an example, and with an agreement that you can build upon it.

Thus, everything you do will be a derivative work of what I started. If your company tries to take it, I can come in and cause problems for them.
Yeah, so I’ve been a host of things a few times, and got the hate mail, bomb threats and various lawsuits that were aimed at other people but landed with me.

The bomb threats and car bomb threats did get me talking to the sheriff about concealed carry permit, but I backed away.

The poor woman that answered the phone for a shared office space quit.

At Weebly, people bought DDOS but didn’t realize that every site had the backing of our entire infrastructure.
What I mean is that saying "the temperature of fermentation affecting crohn's" misses all the other details (what microbes are you trying to grow, what byproducts you want, how much, what fuel, for how long). Maybe you had a specific set of variables in mind already, but it didn't seem clear to me, so speculating just on temperature seemed to be lacking critical details.

Cold fermenting uses a different yeast that reacts at a different temperature and acts on a different fuel at a different rate and is safe when done properly. Of course with all brewing you try very hard to sterilize and keep any bad bacteria out of your batch. Having the right yeast at the right temperature with the right fuel at the right time and for the right duration is all critical to get the result you want. Change any variable and you can get a drastically different result (and thus a different affect on crohn's)
I would bet most techy people my age (mid 20's) are aware of Wolfram Alpha, but maybe not Mathematica.
To prove something like that you pretty much have to use a proof by induction or a proof by contradiction.
Why does it need to be non-nutritive? That would rule out things like ginger, many chili peppers, some plant greens like basil, even sesame seeds. I would consider all of the above spices, as well as garlic.
I know it's a pretty dated view, but is it really true that most of their...profits? revenue? are in the high-speed high-dollar data converter segment? Sure, one of those chips might cost as much as a reel of other chips, but for every van with a SIGINT box, there are thousands of civilian electronic devices.
I can’t think of one off the top of my head, so maybe I’m misremembering why I originally decided I preferred flatter structures. It’s possible it was due to some limitation on my part as I was first learning to work with JSON.

Looking back at some other JSON output, like `ip addr`, I’m not seeing anything egregious. There are just a couple useless top-level keys in the `iostat` output that make the queries longer and don’t seem to add value.

Using the flat structure with a type field lends itself well to lazily outputting JSON lines, so maybe that’s why I tend to represent cli output that way. It’s sort of how you would format the data when sending to ELk or Splunk.

Since I initially thought of JC as a cli tool, I was trying to reduce line length. Even the name JC was selected so it wouldn’t significantly increase the line length. So not nesting data inside meta objects is something I would encourage.
It baffles me how many times companies go "oh, instead of contributing these changes to an existing distribution, or the mainline, let's release our own shitty fork of that major distribution, which of course we will do a terrible job of keeping current with, and stop maintaining after about a year because the intern that was doing it moved on."

You are trading IIRC height or speed for the energy you "pump" out of the electrodynamic tether. So it's not a pure power source, but you can use it to maneuver in Earth's magnetic field without using propelant, with energy from solar panels.

Or possibly you can use it as a battery, "dragging" something up with solar power, then converting that potential energy back to electricity. :)
See my related response to refurb's comment.
Even back then, that was a very healthy margin of victory. Reagan beat Carter by not much more than that.
Although you joke, I’ve seen slightly less extreme propositions that were only half-jokes.
I guarantee you just about every spice eaten at the same bulk as a head of garlic would be 'nutritive.' Especially fresh.
Saying it's a bad title and immediately launching into a list of absolutely silly correlations.
You should check out the VOLT paper, I think it would work well. It's a new technique for splitting up a vocabulary into subwords while minimizing entropy. These subwords could then be mixed and matched, maybe by a neural model, for better results.
"because it stops nazis being dicks about race"

Nothing is effective enough for those extremes. But for the rest of society, specially those during school years, this is enlightening and hopefully enough to push agaisnt our inherent racism.
I'm not sure is it real but they obviously have incentive to sell Graviton instances cheaper than it actually achieved. By doing discount, they can encourage customers to use more Graviton instance (it reduces development cost per chip) and they'll get discount from Intel/AMD.
Yes indeed, thank you for the note. I totally agree. We should be very careful when it comes to user data. We won't be selling or sharing user data - instead we'll find ways to see insightful information from bulk data, like total sticker send, download etc.
I am not quite following what you are saying. When a currency is pegged to another, the central bank is actively buying and selling it's currency on the secondary market in order to maintain the peg ratio. It certainly doesn't happen at the end of every month or quarter.
I'm not really trying to counter-argue your point, just clarify, but… isn't that the one-week stats? The YoY stats are 2020: 87,608 vs 2021: 90,362.

Int-> bool conversion is something that MSVC complained about (C4800) for the longest time for some kind of obscure reason. Wouldn’t surprise me if this code was written against a longer that had a similar warning OR that maybe this code is shared with their Windows driver and this needs to compile on both (at least that’s my attempt at finding the most generous explanation for that).

Operable phrase: at your fingertips!

I don't want Gentoo.

I want Gentoo that has been prepared as if the user just recompiled every goddamned program that makes up the core os, build desiderata and all waiting for me to make another change.

So if I decide I want to recompile coreutils after messing with a single implementation file, `make` or whatever will just incrementally recompile what is needed.

Another way to think of it: (I hope) all coreutils devs have a dev environment they use where they can make such a change and have very little latency from the moment of a code change to the moment they see results from running/testing the command in question. I want a distro that delivers code and source in such a way that the code of all core programs is just waiting for me to incrementally rebuild any of those programs.

And that wouldn't even really suffice-- there are probably some core programs which still have long incremental recompiling times. Digression-- I'd bet all the browsers are such examples-- in fact I'll just claim it here in the hopes that the internet gods strike me down. :)

Its probably just bias from only just hearing the success stories and because it was still pretty early in the time of computing, but reading about the stories/companies/projects/etc. from 70s/80s SV fills me with awe and regret that I came too late to be a part of it, whereas nowadays it’s just seems “meh”.

I'm not a Bitcoin maximalist, and I agree with your point about mining pools. I just think PoS is centralization with extra steps with fewer steps than PoW.
The Last Temptation shows Jesus’ deity as imperceptive and impotent, contradicting his nature: not a sin so much as a denial of Jesus’ nature.

The imperfect human desires before and during the vision also carry on well past harmless observation and affect the man in a way that would have concerned the one who figuratively(?) advised to pluck out an eye rather than be burdened by sin caused by it. The temptations are incongruent with the refutation of temptation and self-knowledge displayed in the wilderness.

That said! I agree the film is a marvelous examination of human weakness and faith in this life.
Have you tried giving things time off to heal with an elemental diet? It wasn't pleasant, but I survived off powdered amino acids, oil capsules, honey and cocoa for a couple months. The commerical/hospital preparations are for tube feeding patients and outrageously expensive.

Look into nicotinic acid, a form of niacin. The "flushing" one. If you supplement with it start slow, get used to the burning sensation. It goes away after a few times.

Avoid biologics unless you absolutely have to
I thought this was about joke stealing, but it looks like the comedians want a cut for the performance and a separate cut for the writing. In other words, they want more of a percentage on the work that they're already getting paid for.
I'm sure it's beneficial, I know there's a ton of studies on the importance of touch for infant health in particular.
Be careful though, LSA containing seeds will give you a hell of a time with vomiting if you don’t prepare/extract.

You also probably want to be careful with sourcing still. I hear that a lot of time the seeds are sprayed with pesticides and stuff, particularly when buying from a source selling for growing flowers.
It sure will be zero when cops never show up to take a report (or just stop being called in bc of that the above)
That concept (populations which can share genes) is for species which have sexual reproduction. For populations which require special conditions, you can talk about subspecies.

But not for the rest of lifeforms. Bacteria reproduce by cloning themselves and they can share genes laterally (between adults). And viruses are really more similar to computer viruses with intended replication errors than a lifeform.

Technically aren't we all just fish if you go back far enough on the evolutionary timeline?

Straight mining also makes you pass through more chunks (16x16 section of the world) per block mined; since ore-gen happens based on chunking this gives you better odds.
> The best way to think about NFTs for JPEGs is as buying the "original" of a work of art

The word "original" shouldn't really be used here, because original implies a type of uniqueness that NFTs don't confer. Say I'm a famous artist, and I make a piece of artwork. I might mint 3 NFTs that point to that artwork; let's say I even get the transactions all in the same block. In that scenario, which one of them is the original artwork? They all point to the exact some URL, they all point to the exact same content. They're not reproductions, all 3 of them are identical to each other in regards to how and where they display the image, and all 3 are issued by the same artist at the same time. The only thing that's different between them, both technically and socially, is the serial number on the token.

The non-fungible part of NFTs refer to the tokens themselves, not the things they're pointing at. The artwork conveys some amount of context around the NFT that may make you want it more (ie, "this is the only NFT issued by the original artist for piece X"). And the artist might choose to only mint one token for a piece of artwork. But it's a mistake to look at the NFTs as being intrinsically linked to the "original" status of the artwork. The context of the NFT is what you are buying, not the artwork. It is questionable whether that context has value, but apparently some people think it does.

This problem of original/reproduction becomes even more obvious when NFTs are minted by the authors of existing pieces of artwork that may have already been online for years. In that case, it would make more sense to say that NFT itself points to a replication of the original artwork since it will almost certainly point towards a new URL where the artwork has been replicated over from the original URL.

The broader problem here is that "originality" isn't really a concept that makes sense with bits of information. A piece of artwork might get copied and pasted across multiple computers before it's even finished. It might be rendered out to 3 different resolutions and posted to 5 websites simultaneously as part of its initial release. There is no concept of original/copy that stands up to scrutiny with any part of digital art.
This is getting a bit fanciful, but there’s a universe where you print unique addresses on business cards.

Of course you can use a QR code.

In the world where you can’t do this, you could have a request mechanism. It’s a link, you go there, and it requires one-time auth from _any site at all of note_. Some sort of social proof. And that gives you a link.

Though ultimately business cards are business cards are business cards. They’re pretty low-value and you probably want to put a less important email on there.

I've only skimmed through the blog post, but it feels that the GPU acceleration without a need to write any custom code, was the primary reason to choose JAX.
The aspect ratio rule fails for a bagel-with-cream-cheese from a NY food cart, clearly a sandwich, which has a square of cream cheese which is as large as the bagel in 2 of 3 dimensions.

I don't really get how your prescriptive rule means open faced sandwiches somehow "contain" their contents. Then again, since I don't believe in being prescriptive, I don't really care to think hard enough about the contortions of logic required by your approach.
