Nike is really good at acquisitions and collaborations, super excited to see what this grows into!

Fwiw, RTFKT is more than an "NFT startup." Their core focus is digital apparel, including AR-based augmented sneaker tech and such. NFTs are just one of several technologies they are using.
I'd love to read some case studies where Chinese courts uphold the IP rights of foreign companies.

My comments below

oh my god, the .tar.gz is 90MB compressed, uncompressed its 265MB. The xterm source code is 7-8MB. We dont need a terminal 33 times the size of a basic terminal.

While I entertain the idea of a terminal in a web browser, I dont believe it has the ability to capture the keyboard entirely for tmux, emacs, etc to work. I also think the use of a web based terminal is quite limited to specific scenarios. Perhaps it would be nice to connect to a k8s cluster on a remote machine.
Agree 100%. Quora in the very beginning was great. It gradually became less useful as they tried to monetize and prioritized engagement over everything else. It’s now something I actively avoid. I unsubscribed from their digest email a while back, it had devolved into clickbait - mostly thinly veiled prompts for salacious responses, most of which were Letters to Penthouse style fiction.

It’s something that had a lot of potential, but like so many other things it fell victim to the quest for profit and engagement.
Imagine having the replacement gold reflector dish in storage somewhere.
The point of a subsidy is to encourage behavior that wouldn't otherwise happen. If the subsidy is used up within 30 minutes, then no behavior was changed. Demand was pulled forward by a few weeks or a few months, which is not a good use of public money.
What does Nike see here? They aren't a bunch of dummies, as they pretty much invented modern marketing with a few other huge brands, so clearly someone up top sees something going on here with NFTs??

That's what I said in different words. :)
How can you not see that even $20k is entirely insufficient for such specialized work?

Do you understand the work that was asked?...
> What do we get from these endless articles about why some product or technology sucks?

Insight into the thought processes of other people. That's enough for me.
> I'm slightly baffled as to why there weren't any guns.

There were guns. And bombs. And...

There was perhaps insufficient organization for the armed participants to employ them effectively.
Because Clippy?

https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-clippy :)

Seriously though, I've got a potential use-case where I want to cobble together a few related scripts into an an ad-hoc REPL that supports HTML and image output. A key library I have to use is written in JS.

Granted, this is my first time seeing Tabby so I'm not sure if it will work - just that I might see a use for it.

I agree with your sentiment 100% though - this is way too heavy for a day-to-day shell.
You are right, though (some?) DBMSs allow to use HAVING for columns that appear in the GROUP BY clause.
Yes, it was a startup, with a staff of two. Once we had the cluster up, self monitoring, and rotating on command it is literally a half day a week to maintain the entire setup. The hardware firewall was our best investment, as it load balanced while fending off significant DDoS attacks from hackers. It also is entirely required to use an experienced network engineer for such a task. Far too many people try to wing this, and that's where all the publicized horror stories arise.
"Founded in 2020"... ". This dedicated team leverages the latest in game engines, NFTs, blockchain authentication and augmented reality to create one of a kind virtual products and experiences." Wow! That's a lot of expertise required under one umbrella!

I always have this question of how much does one need to know to be effective in any one of these fields? I'm thinking at least 10 years (which probably some members of the team already had prior to founding the company). Of course not sure what to make of NFT "experience" :).
So I guess it is some sort of argumentation fallacy, referring to a non-existing person?

The person might exist, but either way I'd say the fallacy is an improper argument from authority, in two stages: First, AWS is claiming authority on the matter and citing other customers as their evidence. That evidence is an improper appeal to authority as well because the expertise (or even existence) of the person(s) behind it cannot be validated. Sort of like a celebrity endorsement where you don't even know who the celebrity is-- e.g., An unnamed person who endorses a basketball sneaker but you don't even know who if they play professionally and actually use the sneakers themselves.

For that matter, even a proper appeal to authority (area of expertise is relevant to the topic at hand, expertise had been validated, there are no conflicts of interest like getting paid for it) are not very strong evidence for a claim. They are indirect evidence where the person is saying "You don't need the data, I've reviewed it and you can trust me".
How can you interact with another browser plugin from a plugin, that doesn't seem to make sense
Correct. It is about 1 death per 100 million miles driven per the table given by the other commenter. Those are actually much better odds than I was expecting!
Unrelated to the plugin: I love the dark mode on your site.
PCI is a very bad example because when it comes to card fraud the liability is on the merchant, bank or card networks. So in that sense it's actually normal that PCI focuses on protecting card brands and not you because you are already protected by them and they're just trying to recoup the costs.
(I wrote this article)

We recently wrote an article (https://l.bit.io/o-cop26) about methane emissions and the COP26 commitment to cut emissions. During the writing of that article, we found some serious inconsistencies in some of the data sources.

Discussions of data quality and validation in data science tend to end with recommendations for a few data validation checks, such as making sure data come from trusted sources; handling missing values; and investigating outliers. These sorts of checks are important, but they won't save an analysis from perfectly-formatted data from a trusted source that happens to be wrong for reasons that can't be found in the dataset itself. Even data of apparently good quality can lead to faulty conclusions.

This article delves into this question by exploring a case study. The U.N. publishes greenhouse gas emissions data supplied each year by parties to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). The data are consistent, up-to-date, and well formatted, and the U.N. is a reliable source of official data. However, there is good reason to believe the data submitted by some countries is not accurate. There are other trusted data sources that show startlingly large differences from the U.N. data. In particular, we found that Russia's Methane emissions data were highly inconsistent with the World Resources Institute (WRI) Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT) data, even though these data were quite similar to the U.N. data for other countries.

Applications using log4j pattern layouts including `${ctx:...}` lookups with versions < 2.15 will remain vulnerable to RCE/DNS infoleaks regardless of the `-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true` mitigation, if the attacker can control any of the `org.apache.logging.log4j.ThreadContext` values used in the configured context lookups. Do not rely on the `-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true` mitigation unless you are certain that the application is not using any attacker-controlled context lookups in the log4j pattern layouts.

The `zip -q -d log4j-core-*.jar org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class` mitigation remains effective for < 2.15.0, and may be a good idea for 2.15.0 as well, to avoid the localhost LDAP connections.

I hope there won't be vibrations during the launch of the rocket.
Is this the same thing as Terminus? It looks weirdly similar, down to the logo, so I'm assuming this is a soft relaunch?
> Who saved all their cartridges, but not their Gameboy?

The point is to be better than a real Gameboy. Most of the original GBs don't have backlights, the original GBA in particular is INCREDIBLY hard to see unless you're sitting directly under a lamp. The speakers are usually pretty quiet. With the Gameboy Advance, if you want a frontlight/backlight you need to get an SP which I personally think is very uncomfortable for extended periods, and also doesn't have a headphone jack without a dongle (Nintendo was way ahead of Apple on that!). The GBA is backwards compatible with older Gameboy games, but the cartridges awkwardly stick out of the device an inch or 2, which make them awkward to transport around.

Plus what others have mentioned, with the fact that it'll probably get hacked very soon to enable running any game from an SD card.
Google built their index by externalizing the human cost of curation, aka Webrings. Now all the webrings are dead, because humans are easily tempted by lazy search into not maintaining them. I wish they weren’t. They were a better form of curation than anything since.
Someone must have heard Kevin Rose postulating a possible use for NFT's on Tim Ferris's podcast. Basically one could reserve a spot Limited Edition sneakers as an NFT, then if they resold the NFT (hence the sneakers on the open market), the smart contract could give Nike a cut or fee as part of the token exchange, so they'd get a cut of third party markets and capture part of the real market value.
As someone who has purchased the some analogue hardware, I will say that a reason I bought the mega sg and super nt is less about pixel-perfect accuracy, and more about buying an appliance.

As a software engineer, I spend all day dealing with bugs. I have a good gaming PC and a PS5, and spend much more time on my PS5 because it always just works. No tweaking settings, no crashes, no compatibility issues, no incompatibility with my controller.

When I get home from a hard day's work, I want to play something on an appliance. Analogue devices are appliances, and emulators (and even the Mister) are not.
I'd prefer the opposite: display the scanned page but with the OCR'd text virtually placed on the page (and accessible as alt text or something) like a proper OCR'd PDF.
The UK has basically indicated that it is going to be bad and are relying on boosting before the new year to blunt the impact. If that doesn't work, lock downs are coming..
Exploitation of Log4Shell before disclosure and evasion and exfiltration
My close friend used to be a democrat, then became a Trumper and even worked in his administration. We got into a lot of heated debates, and our friendship finally about ended when he recently told me I was “lying to protect my political allies,” which is about the most rediculous statement I could imagine. Not only do I not have political allies (I’m not in politics), but I’m also giving pointing out opinions and evidence contrary to his viewpoint, which he dismisses as a lie (versus debatable points). It’s gotten so absurd, and I blame media on this one. People go into self-reinforcing areas that just get more and more extreme as people try to score points within their own clan. It’s sad, as he was one of the only people I knew that voted for Trump that I could have a real discussion with. Now I just watch it all from afar.
There will be an NTSC version as well.

I see the confusion now, I intended all of my arguments regarding caller-saved to actually refer to callee-saved registers. Hopefully you understand that you can never avoid preserving callee-saved registers with a cooperative task switching system and that this is not a necessary cost in an async/callback system.

> For example storing results in future objects in some implementations, spilling live state to an object when the stackful compiler would have used a register or the hot stack,

Regarding spill of live registers to heap state in the Async case vs stack state in the sync case, contemporary compilers are very good at keeping working state in registers and eliding redundant loads/stores to memory as long as it can prove that that memory is not referenced outside of that control flow. This is truth whether the source of truth is on the stack or the heap. This is due in part to the C11 memory model, which was somewhat implicit before it was standardized. In other words, an optimizing compiler does not treat all load/stores as “volatile *”. Furthermore, the heap state relevant to the current task would be as “hot” as the stack (in terms of being in cache) since it’s likely recently used. Given that I am skeptical of the argument that using heap state is slower than stack state due to increased register spillage. Again, just to be clear, this entire case is a separate discussion from the unavoidable added cost of preserving callee-saved registers in the synchronous case.

Where heap state does have a cost is in allocation. Allocating a stack variable is essentially free, while allocating heap memory can be expensive due to fragmentation and handling concurrent allocations. This cost is usually amortized since allocation is usually done once per task instantiation. Contrast this with register preservation, which is done on every task switch.
use envy as a propellent for your struggle.

You gotta keep going so at least you'd be making it harder for other people to succeed.

Or at least marginally harder, you'd force them to work an hour more here and 15 minutes more there
Even the most bearish of crypto-haters will likely admit that you can at least cover the costs of such an acquisition before the NFT fad passes. It would be irresponsible of them not to take the free flyer when it's offered to them.
they have one, thats the problem.
Modern (or even 17th century) Valentines Day seems pretty detatched from the Feast Day of St Valentine.
Thank for your comment. I see your point. Linux is fine for functional testing. But we just want to test how your users use your app. Our end goal is to use keyboard and mouse on OS level. And adapt to the changes. Some of the functionality and fonts don't work on linux so it's a little tricky.
It's possible to spin on section and not another. Vibration would likely be an issue, but already is.
Good VR headsets are cheaper than computers today and cheaper than computers were back when Second Life was getting started. People almost universally own smartphones which can support a LOT of additional activity.

That's not to say that the metaverse will take off (I think it still lacks a compelling use case), but many of the parameters have changed.
I'm not sure how "look at stopping recreational flights if we're getting to the point of asking average people to take less airliner flights", is "ceding our technological leadership in space technology".
Everybody, corporations and individuals, need to do their part to fight climate change. We are all living on the same planet. If corporations aren't doing their part they need to be called out, but that is no excuse for you to shirk your duty.
I’m using the phrase “in theory” colloquially, which means something like “sure, you could technically use it that way, but nobody really does/it’s very rare”.

I wonder if it's feasible to make many sets of platters share a single set of heads? Similar to tape, but once the heads are mounted to a specific set of platters you get disk-like latency. Keeping the environment inside the drive clean (or filled with helium) seems like the challenge.
Still is this way. Just because 1 billion people jump off a bridge, are you going to do the same? There are many of us online who have never used Facebook, Twitter, etc and never signed up with real names. The only thing that gets me is I submit to using a credit card and online purchases. The express reason the web __is__ going to such lengths to become advert-laden trash is that too many common users all agree to these traps. It's ruining the entire world, I for one am eagerly awaiting most of these "constant growth" web plagues to tank and dotcom bubble 2.0 and won't miss these tyrants.
You are crazy! You have my admirations.
It makes sense with sneaker stuff. Sneakers are the physical good that most resembles nfts imo. You blow thousands of dollars esentially totally for the "clout". The physical use is secondary.

NFTs are conceptually nonsense in most cases but if you just want to cash out by selling extra little add ons and you already have a willing market it kind of makes sense.

The company made an offer. The person accepted it. Nothing notable about the scope of the work changed (at least as detailed in the blog post). The person wasn't stiffed or otherwise cheated. They just... didn't like a job offer which they themselves accepted.
So it's a weak cold at best. Still, these "vaccines" aren't going to sell themselves.
I don't think anyone knows.

But I would say that a big, established company is completely orthogonal to making sound decisions about things. I've been baffled at how hype-driven c-suite types can be, and NFTs/etc. are a pretty great opiate for the c-suite these days.

My guess is: they have a lot of money lying around, like most companies these days. Gotta spend it on something (other than employees, of course).
Alternative to suffering from rising temperatures is adapting to them. Lowering emissions is also going to cause suffering and might be as effective as blasting (into general direction of an) asteroid with a water cannon.

You're right. I noticed this on Bing Maps before, but hadn't noticed Google following suit.

It makes these sites so much less useful. Their unique location catalog is the reason I usually prefer Google, then Bing, over Here Maps or whatever OSM thing. But it's harder and harder to query it to receive anything useful.
It's not just interior temperature - it's about being able to defrost the windshield so you can just drive off in winter.

This is so much less interesting than I was hoping based on the title and premise.

Oh well.
Climate change is a big problem, but harping on ice-sheet collapse is a strategic mistake. We know a priori that ice sheet collapse is one of the longest-term threats. None of us will experience impact from them in our lifetime, and focusing on them hands the deniers their own talking points to them on a silver platter.

Extreme weather events, wet-bulb temperature shifts, arable land changes, and habitat loss are near-term threats that are already having impact.
It's also worth noting that while people tend to simplify the discussion down to the US, the legal status of software emulation is... a lot more ropey in some non-US territories.

In the UK for example, there is no legal ability to format shift for end users at all, so ultimately you can't really do legal software emulation, at all.

(Do not take this as legal advice that hardware emulation is permitted. It's complicated.)
> Were any proven to be brought INTO the capitol?

The fact that capitol police were completely overwhelmed by the insurrectionists, preventing arrests and searches in the Capitol presents rather strong proof issues with “inside the Capitol” (pretty much everything charged as “inside the Capitol” is based primarily on video evidence from the insurrectionists themselves, who were not shy about announcing their purpose.)

I would also note that the crowd having overwhelmed the security in the building, the armed insurrectionists outside the building on the Capitol grounds were more usefully positioned to interfere with any relief effort.
Just as a matter of interest: the CO2 equivalent contributions to total greenhouse gas production from air travel and wood-fires for cooking are about the same (about 2%).
Looks... slow. Terminal.app comes pre-installed and has excellent input latency and general responsiveness. Linux and the BSDs have several decent-performing terminal emulators available.

This looks like it's "modern" mostly in the sense of "uses Webtech and has no respect for your system resources".
The article gives credit to TF server and TFLite and so forth as being better for deployment, but leaves out the fact that those systems don't fucking work most of the time, and support is pretty much over at this point. The same goes for model support; even the models in TF's own repository are sometimes broken or don't follow the API conventions set forth in the documentation. I honestly don't know how anyone uses TF in production at this point, unless they are frozen on a specific old version and have figured out an environment that works with their specific models already.
We don't really know what happened here, because as far as I can tell the OP didn't actually engage with anyone to understand what was happening. It seems most likely that the company needed to focus more on one project than another for a little while. That is not the same as stalling something intentionally. It's hard for the company to have empathy if the person didn't elect to communicate their thoughts and feelings.
