I've went offline in the past five months to connect with people .. church/play in their band and meetup.com. Church has been the most fruitful in terms of making a new friend and their friends.

Online dating is a joke with a good amount of friends (casual ones ive known through work & school) all saying it's hard to connect with people on a deeper level then just a date and a hookup. There's always something better to swipe right on and the one your interested in is interested in another whose not that interested in them but another and so on. My view of it ...one view at least.
But the answer is obvious: if the force of law can be applied over home design preferences, there is no longer such a thing as private property.Yes, there is a clear need for building regulations related to safety, but that’s an entirely different argument.

It was on Aave polygon.

There are no repayment terms per say, just interest charged on the loaned amount.

Aave has variable interest on stables that varies between 7-4% and they offer an incentive bonus of about 3% MATIC, making the effective rate 1-4%.

My loan to value rate is around 35%, which gives me a very healthy liquidation buffer in case the market gets even more volatile.

My collateral is mostly BTC and ETH, with smaller holding of MATIC and AVAX.

It’s a really nice system, I get to keep my crypto holdings and extract real world value. Paying 1% interest on a loan backed by assets that are appreciating 100% a year feels really good.

As an additional safety precaution I wrote a smart contract to liquidate some of my other positions if I am ever at risk of being liquidated by Aave to avoid the liquidation penalty.
Why wait 20 years? Take a look at NAT64 (although its in the opposite direction of what you mentioned)
For sure.

And I also am not sure I want to work at a place where being really good at interview skills is what gets people jobs. The correlation between "interviews well" and "collaborative, productive coworker" isn't very strong.
Pushing the Flutter Design Edge, ThemeData Extensions
I'm 100% on macOS now after a job change, but yeah it does work with other devices. I know someone using one on a Linux desktop without issues although it did need a little tweaking apparently, can't speak for Windows but I've heard they work too!

As for ergonomics it fits my workflow of having lots of virtual desktops and full screen apps open, panning between them with the trackpad. Especially when on a laptop the gesture-based approach feels a lot quicker than picking up a mouse. I'm becoming more and more of a terminal monkey these days so it's less relevant but I'd still recommend them to anyone.
As a note, 2nd order methods do not require calculating the entire Hessian nor do they require factorizing the matrix. A trust-region method using Steihaug-Toint (truncated) CG or a Newton-Krylov method simply require Hessian-vector products, which are not particularly costly to compute. In fact, a forward-mode automatic differentiation (AD) method on an existing gradient calculation, which could also be done using AD, will calculate the Hessian-vector product at a cost of twice the gradient calculation. Though, AD is not required and this can be done by hand. Even if only a single Krylov iteration is done, there are many benefits to using this methodology to help handle the scaling of the problem. These algorithms are described fully in a book such as Numerical Optimization by Nocedal and Wright.

The current paper does not directly affect most ML algorithms because it speaks directly to convex optimization. Most ML models are highly nonlinear, so globalization of the optimization algorithm is required. Here, globalization means something like a line-search or a trust-region to ensure convergence to a local minima. Convex problems using an appropriate algorithm and under the correct assumptions do not necessarily require the use of a globalization technique and will converge directly to a local min, which is now global due to convexity. Normally, this discussion is done in the context of interior point methods for linear cone problems and helps explain why globalization is not done for these algorithms. An example of this can be found in Convex Optimization by Boyd and Vandenberghe in section 11.5.3, but it's a well researched topic. The algorithm in this paper discusses a technique where they also don't require a typical globalization technique.

Anyway, mostly I'm commenting to dispel the misconception that 2nd order method can not be applied to large scale problems. I've applied them successfully to problems with hundreds of millions of variables and they work just fine. Largely, their success is tied to how complicated the spectrum of the Hessian is, but that's a longer discussion.
There is no reason to believe Ivermectin works. The single conclusive study was found to have fabricated their data. The meta analysis in the legit journal relied on that fabricated data. It is a deep irony that Ivermectin truthers search for the "truth" that the medical community was withholding an effective drug represents a rejection of the actual truth seeking process which so effectively uncovered the actual "truth" about Ivermectin after many official sources bought the lying paper. People, including actual scientists, literally "did their own research" after 30 papers had cited the lies and uncovered the various irregularities.

Absent that there is no reason to believe its effective. Conversely we actually have data that Pfizers pill is up to 90% effective at preventing severe covid symptoms.

> If you believe your vaccinations protect you, then your statement is nonsensical. If your vaccinations don't protect you, then forcing others to take what does not work is also nonsensical.

This is a common rejoinder so its worthy of addressing again. I have every reason to believe that vaccines as of delta greatly decrease my chance of getting covid and greatly decrease my chances of dying of it. Nobody ever claimed that they are 100% proof against covid. Individuals can still get covid. They can still get damaged cardiovascular systems and lungs. They can still die. This is more true for some people than others. Every medium to large workplace surely has several who are far more vulnerable than others who deserve to be safe.

I don't know about that. More housing means more shops and restaurants within walking distance; it means it's more likely that bike lanes are created, and so on. If I want that kind of thing, then more housing helps me get it.

Hard disagree there. Trying to write cross distro cli tools can get really hairy really fast when you need to deal with distro inconsistencies in file locations, default configs/permissions, systemd vs not (maybe that one is past now), etc...
None of them are compatible.

The alleged argument... is apparently that quadcopter drones are cheaper than missiles.

So the enemy can always deploy more suicide quadcopter drones than missiles.

------

Which seems like an insanely bad strategy to me, because of the whole CIWS thing. Sure, you negate the usefulness of missiles by making drones cheaper, but you can't negate the cheapness of a CIWS, or the gatling gun of an F18 Hornet / F35B / F35C.

That's why we still use guns today: because bullets are really, really cheap.
When I first started using the python tool/ library named fabric, I knew that putting just "fabric" into google would not get me what I wanted, so I instead searched for "python fabric". The top results were trying to sell me handbags and boots.

(These days, the library does rank first for "python fabric").
Disney was actually founded on Alice in Wonderland, Mickey Mouse was created years later.

At the time, Alice in Wonderland would have still been copyrighted if it were under the copyright regime Disney etc. instituted since. The corporation pulled the ladder up after it.

Incidentally, Mickey Mouse was in many ways a ripoff of Universal's Oswald the Rabbit.
Higgs boson: Physicists measure the “life” of the legendary particle
Any yet oddly enough the Earth continues to spin and the internet continues to work. I think the system we have now is necessarily the system that must exist ( in this particular case, not in all cases ). Something more centralized is destined to fail. And, while the open source nature of software introduces vulnerabilities it also fixes them.

It's not just the Republicans though. There are also quite a lot of maliciously incompetent Democrats too.
A lot can go wrong as an organization grows, including loss of knowledge. At amazon "Ownership" officially rests with the non-technical money that owns voting shares. They control the board who controls the CEO. "Ownership" can be perverted to mean that you, a wage slave, are responsible for the mess that previous ICs left behind. The obvious thing to do in such a circumstance is quit (or don't apply). It is unfair and unpleasant to be treated in a way that gives you responsibility but no authority, and to participant in maintaining (and extending) that moral hazard, and as long as there are better companies you're better off working for them.
>And despite all this, Youtube almost always works perfectly for almost all users. People click on their phones and the videos just play - all around the world, even while traveling on transit, etc.

Yes! I find any other video website that is not YouTube to be simply unusable. Don't get me started with Spotify's video player. My thought when I see a website using anything else: just put the damn thing on YouTube! The players suck, the experience suck, everything sucks on other products.
Developers in corporations are moving away from java at a frantic pace. A lot of it has to do with remote functions (AWS lambda etc) being very slow with such a heavy standard library and the runtime startup.

It's a mistake. As is the lemming-like rush toward remote functions for everything. Everywhere I go I see people hacking on the Lambda execution meta to improve initial start times--and eventually giving up--because the PM doesn't like a slight random delay. PM keeps complaining.

I don't think it's that had to figure if you look into it but people don't like to say as the guy obviously wants a bit of anonymity. It's not that no one's uncovered Satoshi so much as they have uncovered about a dozen possible ones.
What do you mean by this? Auto migrations detect changes in your models. I'm not sure what atomic means in this context.

Python is about 4 years older than Java (based on "initial release" listed on Wikipedia), so the pattern still fits between those two languages.
Yes, of course, but I think we have to acknowledge that it's a very uncommon sign in the UK, and the fact that you almost never come across it in your day to day driving might make you numb to it - and in like the car in the video, just blow right past it. Maybe someone who interacts with Stop signs every day and has to obey them on a regular basis wouldn't have done that.

I don't know of course, this is pure speculation
Amazon.com is also throwing errors left and right
In fact, I find more and more the people who are most successful around me are those who just go for it rather than being contentious and trying to perfect themselves. I think the best place to be is, at always, in the middle. Too much alone time and you may be very independent but you don't want to spend time with others as they're worse company than your own self. Too little alone time, and you become codependent and don't learn to be independent.
Hiding behind a throw away account does not help your point.
Synology has been far and away the best I've deployed for "friends and family". I've not received a single phone call for support and it's the first wifi product I can say that about.

They also are introducing full VLAN support in DSM 1.3 which should be out soon if you're a power user. Honestly if they supported PoE for their extenders I probably would have switched out to it. The extenders will mesh wired or wireless which is nice.
I think you misinterpreted my original post. My post was a list of some of the capital intensive challenges a competitor would have to solve now to operate a similar business to YouTube as it exists now (many of which aren't even technical, like growing an ad market and getting creators on board).

The point was that unless you already have a money printing business in another area that you can use to chase this for years without budgetary constraints, it would be very difficult to build something of a similar scale. I think you are arguing a point that my post largely already agrees with.
So basically you're saying that the lawsuit will be decided by sentiment, and not legal precedent?

I think that's a concern, but I also have more trust in juries than they are given. As an example, many meritless lawsuits against gun manufacturers have been won by the manufacturers.

This also strikes me as a legal stretch--regardless of how good for society local newspapers were, it feels like horse breeders suing car manufacturers.
1. Are there techniques to prevent web scraping? Yes. Are they "Efficient", and even more importantly, effective? Debatable

2. However, more to the point, what's the end game there? If there are 10,000 outlets out there; and arbitrary number, say 100 of them block scrapes; now the other 9,900 will show up in Google/Facebook search and shares, and those who implemented scraping protection will quietly fade into non-existence.

It's a damned-if-you-do:damned-if-you-don't choice of modern media consumption model. I assume that most outlets have decided that the exposure, trickle of users and monetization they DO get is superior to the influx of users drying out. It's consequence of the oft-quoted platitude that these days, for most people Google and Facebook ARE "The Internet" :-/
Wasn't this the whole point of Pandora?
"So every place structurally has unduly restrictive zoning."

Only above a certain population number. Many smaller cities and towns don't have this issue.

"at which point your incentives invert."

Only if you own land. And only if your ideals support it. With a sufficient renting population there can be change.

"The existing landowners in every area have the same incentive -- to increase artificial scarcity so that the land they already own increases in value."

If this is true, then why even have a discussion? I mean, it's settled then - this is a democracy and the voting base will not support changes. Otherwise, there are multiple incentives and desires, so your statement would be an over simplification.

Then we are also ignoring effects of housing crunches. In theory, jobs people are moving to should have leadership that realizes the issue and moves to alleviate it (and have competitive cost advantages), or doesn't move there in the first place. Same for people, if it doesn't make financial sense to move somewhere, then they will select other options. We are already seeing some of these affects in movement from places like CA to TX.
Really happy with the CRS-305 and its value for money.

Release candidates for 7.1 had container support which opens worlds of possibilities for the switch. But unfortunately was removed for the final version pending updates.

Edit:
Container support was introduced in rc3 and removed in rc5.

"The algorithmic recommendation is broken, because it makes wrong assumptions. Every recommendation engine I've encountered appear to be based on the idea that I care about artists or genres, rather than the sound profile of individual tracks."

Agreed 100% on this. I find I like a certain BPM and "type" of sound to songs I often have on repeat.
Ember is pretty nice as a framework but the harsh truth is the community barely exists. As an Ember noob the fact that many Stackoverflow answers on Ember are outdated (Ember has changed a lot between versions), and many things are simply not answered or blogged on, is a massive productivity hit.
Our company is now stuck with Ember, not happily married to it.
If you want compatibility buy another board or embedded system. The BCM SoC on it can’t be bought so you’re screwed for second sourcing anything.
Because people moving to a city from a rural area have been making a lower salary and are now facing the high costs of a city. An engineer with a signing bonus can make the transition smoothly, but the people forced out of rural areas often don't get them.

The corollary to high housing prices is that people sprawl outward for lower prices and end up with very long commutes. Around me, ~40% of SF renters are paying more than 30% of income on housing. I for get the portion of people super commuting (> 90 minutes each way) but the % grows when SF adds more offices.

So prohibitions on dense housing screw over people that want a rural life, but are forced to take jobs in a city. They'll have a harder time even saving up to go back.
If you write manual migrations, then it's often worth it to write the reverse function (in your case, deleting that group) so that you avoid this situation.
The strategy you describe is functionally "provide features that competitors cannot". You ascribe nefarious means to all of those features, but that isn' the only (or in many cases even the likeliest) motivation for providing those features.

It works in incognito mode and on another device with a different IP address so I assume it works anywhere.

Also potential flaw with the product if the paid stuff is delivered the same way.
> I'm opposed to high density housing as well, for myself, personally. That's why I don't live in a city.

Sometimes the city comes to you. That's what's happening all over, where people are in suburbs outside the city, but the city grows and suddenly they learn that where they live isn't considered the outskirts anymore, and everyone's pissed that they oppose high density housing.
I'd be trying to keep my IPA out of the keyboard, La Fin du Monde is sometimes pretty fizzy.

Alice in Wonderland was based on a book that was 86 years old when Disney's film was released. It was public domain. But Disney fought hard to prevent Mickey Mouse from going into the public domain, and got Congress to extend the copyright term to 95 years. Under such a rule Disney couldn't have made Alice in Wonderland without permission from the heirs of Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll).
> He's even suing former developers like me, who haven't contributed for a couple years (or more!)

Wow that's a shitty move. Have you had to retain a lawyer to deal with this nonsense? I was once sued over some open source software I wrote, because one of the keywords used in the DSL was the same as a completely unrelated trademark. As you can imagine the whole lawsuit was baseless nonsense. Luckily they also sued my employer who happens to be Red Hat and our legal department stomped on the claimant for me.
My perspective (limited use of IntelliJ) is that the editor is very geared towards Java, which I loath and despise. Maybe this is an unfair prejudiced. I also like working from the command line.

Sometimes people just want a medium density city.

I like my medium density neighbourhood and I like being in a city that has them.

If I wanted to live in a tower block I'd move more centrally or to another city.

I also don't think that people who don't live somewhere, or are temporarily staying somewhere, should have a say in this over established families.
