I don't like NFT too but have some knowledge about it.

> If you sell it to me as an NFT, how do I know it‘s not a fake NFT ticket or even a fake event?

This is actually not a problem at all:

- It's not likely you'd buy ticket for some event that you don't know/not interested.
- The event official (which you already know) should publish these info for query:
- The blockchain
- The contract address
- The NFT token ID

If you bought a proclaimed ticket NFT but it's fake, the only possibility is the official that you trust is a fraud.

One of the best MODs ever. Right up there with Enigma, Stardust Memories, Elysium, and others.

From a technical perspective, the level of musicality that some artists could derive within the limitations is truly crazy. 100k or so, 8-bit samples, four channels, and composed (basically) from a Norton Commander-style interface. Not to mention a majority of these songs were composed when the musicians were teenagers!

Would be happy to set up a playlist for those who would like an introduction to the scene!
Murakami's a really interesting one when it comes to translation. He wrote his first novel in English, despite not speaking English very well, and then translated it back to Japanese for publication.

I really enjoyed the linked essay, but I think the playfulness with which e.g. Murakami can pick up English as a brush in a toolbox raises a lot of interesting questions about whether translation guilt is warranted. Doesn't appropriation work both ways? Would a bakery attack make any sense in a Japanese culture without European bread? And speaking of the idea of denatured business English... so many of Murakami's images, sounds and references get their charge by playing with the mixing of western and Japanese culture, both the corporate and the artistic/literary/musical sides of each. I see it as similar to what French impressionism and cuisine did with their Japanese counterparts, an expansion and exchange of culture without one necessarily eroding the other.
Must be nice to know the mind of God!
There were some very large mammalian predators around during the time of our early ancestors, and even around today, though not quite as large. And yet here we are. Perhaps if humans had arisen in the time of the dinosaurs they’d have hunted them to extinction or destroyed their habitats.
You raise good points but the following:

> It likely took billions of years for our planet to reach the right temperature and composition for life to form

.. is not true. As mentioned by Wikipedia below, life formed surprisingly "fast" and its earliest appearance is pushed back every year.

> The age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years;[49][50][51] the earliest undisputed evidence of life on Earth dates from at least 3.5 billion years ago.[52][53][54] Some computer models suggest life began as early as 4.5 billion years ago.[4][5]

Entirely possible. The sad thing is, when I've seen physicists take the "no such thing as bad publicity" approach, it's worked. University presidents watch the news too.
All insect populations are in drastic decline everywhere. Everywhere we have records and have compared them to recent counts, they are in the region of 50% or more down since the 70's.

Bee's are slightly more complex because we keep large numbers of certain bee species as livestock, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that wild bee's are somehow exempt from the general collapse of insect life.

Indeed. I hope the author can attach a sign of some sort saying "this is not a real phone" to prevent it from being used in emergencies.
Can you list those experts?
Because none of the actual experts I heard or read about said that.

A simple google search about those points also reveal optimistic opinions by various people and not one instance where experts claim so.
Is this what is being discussed? My limited view of the debate made it seem like this was more of a 1-time blanket loan forgiveness than something only enabled through bankruptcy.
I try to find the balance between both of these options. I think it’s important to remember that just because someone wrote a blog post recently doesn’t mean it’s better. It also depends what you consider “core” knowledge, as an example I don’t need to google how to rebase anymore but I sure as heck do google something new about git every week.

Twitch takes 40-60% of everything, so that's not "0 costs." Bits are just donations, and every streamer already tries to get people to donate directly to circumvent Twitch's fees, and subs are possible through Stripe directly, or through Patreon or their self-hosted version.

So, literally none of what you said is reality.
Driving Rt below one will cause any species to go extinct. That’s just basic maths. If it’s not happening, then Rt is not below 1.

As for the rest, you’re taking ideas that have some truth to them, and probably misinterpreting what these things actually mean and taking them unreasonably far or to the extreme:

- Herd immunity is a thing, but I'm not sure how you imagine it in your head, or what you think that means.

- Vaccines do prevent infections, but not perfectly well. This (or the contrary) has been communicated to the public in very confusing ways.

- It is true that vaccinated people have a lower likelihood of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to others. I'm not sure if you think that means it should be perfect, but biology is messy.

>China a despotic autocratic regime despite the US having more prisoners overall and per-capita

You A) don't know that, because stats coming out of China aren't to be trusted and executions and disappearances are common B) are conveniently ignoring the well documented reeducation/concentration camps where the only crime is being a Muslim minority.

China is modern day Nazi Germany, they're not even really communist, they have government controlled corporations and operate in a capitalist system. In many ways they're fascist and even revere Hitler in their school teachings. Taiwan at least has socialized healthcare, in China you have to pay for it. If they are "communist" they're doing a shit job of it.

Yes and if you like that, try listening to audiobooks in a different language. I’ve been struggling to learn Russian for a while now, and listening to Brothers Karamazov in the native language is fascinating in a way I can’t describe. I consistently feel like I’m being put under a spell.
Are you sure you’re not mixing up natural and old growth?
I think a good way of looking at it is like the knowledge circles where everything inside the circle is stuff you don’t google but everything outside is things you do. Over time the circle expands as you learn more but this leads to more things you need to google.
> pay Amazon a fraction of what you'd pay full time in house people to do - at least in part. DevOps was meant to give devs more control over this work so that fewer ops people would be needed.

And here is the lie in the AWS marketing promise. In reality without ops the infrastructure clueless devs will generate huge AWS bills that move the profits from AWS customers into Amazon's pockets. At the same time with production being more brittle and ci/cd becomming a complex nightmare that gradually takes larger chunks of dev time until things grind to a halt.

The catch 22 being leaking abstractions. In the same way that devs cannot really empower regular users to generate apps with nocode that work well, devops cannot create iaas or paas that can be used without understanding the underlying os, networking, configuration management, package managers, etc

Sounds like fraud, which is generally a jailable offense. Specific details would matter, but what would you expect to happen if you registered to vote with an improper address so you could vote in a different district for some reason? I'd expect some chance of jail.
I first heard Space Debris in an MS-DOS MOD player that didn't support the portamento command. I played the heck out of it (and a ton of other MODs) on that platform (even going so far as to make cassette tapes of MODs that I listened to on my portable cassette player). To this day, hearing it in a MOD player that properly handles portamento still sounds vaguely odd to me.

Twitch discovery is not what they pretend it is. A raid results in a tiny amount of follows, and very few people actually peruse the browse page.

As for the calculation, that's based on: 2.9% + 30c card processing, ~3% PRO fees, plus bandwidth and server costs.

Your Google skills are weak. The examples are easy to find.

The CDC said that the vaccinated can only “rarely” infect others.

And before you say “but Delta!”, Delta was already dominant around the time of the statement.

I agree, I've been giving an initial ballpark number ahead of time just to save myself time. Maybe some initial dance to also find get their range. Some companies will share that and independent recruiters even more likely.

One can always qualify the initially named number with some words assuming a reasonable similarity in work environment, responsibilities, benefits, vacation, etc. Adjustments after can always be discussed in a that kind of context.

But I also try to keep a rough concept of what's paying in my area. It seems unlikely I'm going to dramatically undercut myself, at it seems low odds that the practice might cut off some magic high pay
Yeah it doesn't help there's like a 1:3 female to male ratio, even if they wanted to meet replacement rate, thanks to one child policy incentivizing parents get abortions or committing infanticide until they had a son, they don't have enough wombs to go around. A lot of angry desperate young males though, which is causing different societal problems, kidnappings of females from other countries, etc.

Do you believe she had a choice?
Well, the more fronts on which we attack the vaccine, the barder it will be to to evolve against all of them.
> A preprint is as reliable as a blog post in WordPress, unless you work in the area and know that the author has a solid track record.

While preprints lack some work and signals of reliability, such as peer review, revisions by the author, etc., I think they are far beyond blog posts. Imagine a blog post, by an expert in the domain, with the amount of research and precision that goes into a preprint - there's no comparison.

Nothing, not even a peer-reviewed article in Nature, is so reliable that we can just put away our critical thinking.
Clusterpedia –– Complex resource search across Multi-Cluster
so when the price of beans is low -- i.e. when there's more bean supply than there is demand -- the protocol tries to spur demand by increasing bean-denominated yield for beans ("weather"). the downstream effect of this is to further increase supply. and so the supply/demand imbalance that led to lower-than-$1 value persists (or will occur later, as the supply grows over time).

there's a million different ways to look at a system like this, and tbh i'm sort of drowning in the metaphors ("pods", "stalk", "weather", etc). is there a more convincing argument for how the protocol deals with the bean value < $1USD scenario?
> Does this mean that Apple is using the same libraries they are asking third party developers to use?

Yes and now. Apple still has and uses private APIs, which by license agreement 3rd party developers cannot and should not use.

Additionally SwiftUI is only ~3 years old, so it does not yet have 1:1 parity needed to fully migrate all of Apple's apps over.

That said, I to was disappointed that Microsoft had their own internal UI libraries for WindowsPhone7/8 which were not exposed to developers, such as the Map tile libraries.
creating a dummy account might alleviate the immediate issue, but it doesn't really fix the root cause of the problem - which is that the restaurant thinks it's ok to only post on facebook, and assume everyone has access.
Doing this would (probably) create a drug which would work well in theory - and possibly in a test tube - but there's no guarantee that it would continue to work when put into the incredibly, vastly more complex environment of the human body.
> How tightly does Facebook lock their stuff down to barely get a mention here?

Pretty hard. There are some extensions (FB Purity being the most popular), but they focus on trying to modify the facebook site in your browser, and they break often. There used to be more 3rd party android apps but FB locked their APIs down more. And even the FB app linked on this Github directory, Frost, does not work, as FB will not allow you to login with the embedded browser.
Indeed you are right. XCode absolute induces some stockholm syndrome as an iOS dev. Maybe anecdotal, but I do find swiftPM based projects to have far fewer issues than cocoapod + Cocoa based apps.

I'd love to see sourcekit-lsp (the swift lsp) to further develop. Though last time I checked it wasn't exactly usable day to day.
No. Delta was around before there was even enough vaccine for countries other than the US and Europe. It was completely unavoidable.

And since it’s clearly the fully vaccinated have only a reduced, not eliminated risk of infection and transmission, we could still get another variant.

> Most of his laments and descriptions of decline, the fraught and tricky questions of bringing books and authors into English, boil down to a question of power

In my view, "power" is simply not the kind of stuff that these complex and nuanced concerns could possibly "boil down to", even in principle. It's a rather ambiguous word that could easily point to a wide, even unlimited variety of social dynamics, featuring very different sorts of affordance (in the sense of "power to achieve X"), influence or perhaps the effect of physical, material constraints. These more detailed dynamics are what should be inquired upon and interrogated to try and figure out what, if anything, they're "boiling down" to. I suspect that this might boil down to a simple change in the material structure of society, like "communication used to be hard and this forced cultures apart from each other; the exact opposite is going on today, where people are actively seeking to disregard these former boundaries, even at some cost in cohesion and social/cultural development at the smaller scale."

People might argue either way whether or not the word "power" can usefully summarize these developments. Ultimately, it just seems to obscure more than it clarifies.
Of course, that raises the question of why some civilization with a billion year head start isn't here yet.
My point did get muddled there in telling a story.

It's that the teams were putting all this effort using quite literally millions of dollars of tech infrastructure, to create tech products to be delivered to very limited computers and slow networks.

And the real point: the end product was never seen on the target hardware by those building the things. No clue.

The web browser company assembled a usability lab, would get volunteer people to come in and try things out. But the feedback from that group was submitted as a report to a management group that was two layers above us.

This is a pretty clever exploit. I played on this server off and on between 2013-2016. The server is/was an acquired taste. The biggest challenge was to escape the the hellscape around spawn, once you get past that it was pretty quiet, I don’t ever recall running into anyone else unless I went back to the nether hub near spawn. It was really fun exploring old builds, the griefed ones were like old ruins. I liked to read the signs that were left behind and leave my own. I used to have use sone map mod and would note all the neat things I came across.

I admit that I also used an x-ray mod to detect things like chests, because why not? I wonder if any of my bases were ever discovered. Most of my ill gotten gains were hidden away in a bottom of a mineshaft in the middle of nowhere to help avoid detection.

Once the queue started started to get long I stopped playing.
At a certain point you have to ask how can someone not think about what they're doing at all. If someone asks for a log, what would go through your brain that says, should I give it to the person asking in the most inconvenient format possible? What's the first thing they're going to do with it?

Computational tools are insanely helpful and wifey used in biotech. Generally you see them spring up around experimental platforms (ex gene / RNA sequencing).

In terms of your particular example, how good is your simulation? If your simulation can accurately predict the effects of perturbations on
metabolic pathways, then PM me and we can start a biopharma company.
For me intelligent life should be from somewhat to very common across the universe.

Simplistically you would need:

A source of energy, aka a star, at the very least there are 10^22 of them

A rocky planet situated in the habitability zone of the star (and this is lacking the imagination for life in other kind of environments).These guys are common.

The creation of chemical self-replication with a stable set of compounds (The hardest part for me, but far from impossible)

The appearance of intelligence as an evolutionary trait (nature loves that explore/exploit game)
