I worked in tech in Fort Lauderdale for around 10 years and you're right about all of that. The place has potential of being a tech hub if they could just attract and retain smart people. Year round warm weather, lots of outdoor stuff, if you like the ocean, zero state income taxes! But, instead of the Bay Area's smart, risk-taking wealth, optimistically (and naively) trying to "change the world with tech", South Florida is filled with dumb, idle "to hell with my neighbors" wealth. It's full of people who got rich running payday loan stores and used car lots, instead of people who got rich building ML models for selling kitty litter on the internet.

I remember a boat ride up the intracoastal, and there was a guy with a million-dollar mansion with a yacht docked next to his backyard that had a beautiful gigantic statue of a hand with a raised middle finger. That pretty much sums up South Florida's mindset.
Very few institutions this big are truly private. They get tons of research funds from public taxpayer funded grants.

A lot of their students pay with publicly secured student loan debt.

Just wanted to clarify that it can feel disingenuous to play the private card in these situations.
I don’t doubt that Ross is a nice person, and I think he meant well. FWIW, I think this is a great thing to study and in other circumstances I’d be glad he’s doing it. But much as Ross didn’t intend for me to be hyperventilating, heart pounding as I imagine trying to explain to my wife how my little hobby is getting us sued, that’s exactly what happened. That was a whole awful lot of extra stress that I didn’t need.

I think the confusion is that Veratisium's original video made it seem like this was the only/main way electricity travels, whereas in reality, there's two separate ways: One of them take's 1/c and the other takes c/2. Also, what most people think of the light bulb going on in the real world would be the c/2 one, not the 1/c one.
Which complexity? Of running a SQL query on the same database you're already using, vs writing code to support some other new system?
It's not a question of whether the score is objective, but whether the score is an unbiased estimator of student quality, whatever that means.
What Does BERT's Attention Look At?
> Every time I've messaged support for an account lock, 24 hours later I'm informed it was a false positive and the account is unlocked.

Sounds like good customer service to me ;) I tried to open an account with Oracle cloud and it rejected my credit card. They never even answered to my messages.

Well, I was not overly convinced I want to do business with Oracle anyway, so now AWS charges the same card every month. Oracle seemed somewhat cheaper for the use case, but nothing that kills me.
That sounds.. plausible?
"Why not just not aspire to attend"
If the schools remove academic testing credentials OP loses the ability to use test scores as a means of entry, which would have potentially levelled the playing field. Additionally if the schools elect to admit students based on racial / gender criteria and OP is a white heterosexual male, then OP cannot compete on a level playing field at all and his accomplishments are meaningless. You tell OP to aspire to attend but these changes would mean his odds are drastically reduced through no fault of his own except he was not born to the 1% and his skin and gender are wrong. Admitting people based on racial criteria is racist no matter the intention and hurts people that have likely done everything right to attend their school of choice.
I used to teach a free SAT prep for underprivileged high schools in Southern Cali. I found it amazing how much I could improve scores of kids who were engaged. Unfortunately, only about a third of the kids were really engaged. But going from 800 to 1100 I felt like I could do for almost any engaged student. And 1200 to 1400 was harder, but I think if you give me a year -- I could do that for a lot of students too.

If you're at 1550 I probably can't help you -- at least if you're like me -- you sometimes just read a question wrong.
Facebook isn't just about old high school friends, to some it can mean finding a free stroller and clothes for their baby, finding a buyer for their produce, or getting support in times of need.

Short answer: No $%^&* way !
Comparisons to capitalism as an abstract ideology notwithstanding, you do have to use violence to keep people from voluntarily buying from and selling to each other.

There is a reason why the Communist Party of the USA is a thing and the Capitalist Party of the PRC is not. They are willing to use violence within their own borders to suppress competing ideologies in the absence of tangible criminal offenses, while we generally are not.

And then there's the simple question of whether more people die trying to sneak into your country or out of it. Moral relativists run into serious trouble with that one.
You can think of it very similarly to `useState`, where it returns a particular state and a function to update that state.

With `useState`:

const [ firstState, setFirstState ] = useState('alpha')
const [ secondState, setSecondState ] = useState('beta')

With `usePromise`:

const [ firstPromiseState, readFirstThing ] = usePromise(read)
const [ secondPromiseState, readSecondThing ] = usePromise(read)

To initialize the promise state similar to `useState('alpha')`:

const [ firstPromiseState, readFirstThing ] = usePromise(read, { status: 'resolved', value: 'alpha' })
const [ secondPromiseState, readSecondThing ] = usePromise(read, { status: 'resolved', value: 'beta' })
> If you believe that the long view matters, ask yourself: what will carry forward these ideas after you and I have left the stage? Multi-generational thinking is, after all, a multi-generational endeavour.

So the argument is that to preserve a tradition of long term thinking, rituals would enable the propagation of a community that shares similar goals.
I feel that React is like.. 20% of the way to programming nirvana, and hooks are like 24% of the way, but it's very much just another step on the path. They're an inelegant expression of an elegant idea, which class components couldn't express at all.

I don't know buddy... Might be worth it to invest some time into anxiety/stress management. Meditation, keep an eye on your sleep, exercise, maybe go talk to someone.

You're not supposed to have anxiety attacks over fairly lame sounding emails. Not to mention, it's just a matter of time before you get another (spam/scam) email like this.

I get these quite frequently? I don't know how often, but definitely at least one a month. Either it's about my taxes not filed or my student debt, or some loan I didn't pay.

Not worth having anxiety attacks over, minor or otherwise.
^That's even after hiring the regulators themselves.

Yeah, every home IoT hub processes more messages than that with less thsn raspberri pi worth of compute
Cloud providers have a tough business model. The instant you use their compute resource, it's gone forever. But they bill you post-usage, and you can dispute the charges for a very long time. And, there are thousands of simple shell scripts that convert CPU time to cash. All of this makes it very easy to farm cloud providers for money. Not very much money, but free money doesn't have to be efficient.

For work, I run a cloud service like this, and we do indeed have this kind of fraud. Every stolen credit card number under the sun has signed up for an account. People create thousands of emails (and brand new domains) to get free trials. And, when our systems identify them and we shut them down, they whine in all possible support forums. I don't think we've ever made a mistake, but that is likely due to the small scale of our operation.

The only thing that keeps me sane is the extremely poor opsec of the fraudsters. They have pools of thousands of compromised IPs they're using for the command-and-control infrastructure that they install, but they often mistakenly use the same destination crypto wallet (they have a little LD_PRELOAD script they install to try to prevent us from seeing this, but it doesn't work if you don't load dynamic libraries to read the process table), or use a predictable naming scheme, or taint accounts by accessing a few of them from the same IP. (I have a graph that connects the accounts through things like IP address, so this is often the fatal screwup for thousands of accounts all at once.)

I imagine that Digital Ocean has this same problem, but at a million times the volume. So, there are going to be mistakes. It's intrinsically difficult to establish trust at these small scales. DO probably feels pretty uncomfortable giving someone a bunch of compute resources when they haven't even tried billing the credit card. You would feel pretty uncomfortable paying up front. So this is where we land, sometimes you look like fraud and get killed with fire. (As you get bigger, you'll have weekly meetings with your cloud provider, and they probably won't shut you down automatically. But at that small scale, it's tough for everyone!)

Honestly none of this is going to matter. The unvaccinated are all going to get the omicron variant over the next few weeks, and after that everybody’s immunity will be pretty much the same, vaccinated or not.
Sure, of course not, but a near panic attack still seems a bit... out of proportion.
Succeeding in college also requires a strong reading background. The point of the test is to predict college success, not "be fair" (an inherently subjective statement)
I was surprised by that too, though it seems like he is actually working on such a video now. Honestly I have a feeling that this kind of science debate style content is becoming more popular. There was the Veritasium vs physic teacher about the faster-than-wind car, and also the Steve Mould vs ElectroBOOM about Mould Effect recently. Maybe he intentionally left it vague to get people to debate with him.
Who cares. Universities are becoming irrelevant anyways.

So will all those outlets that had "Trump's social network is violating the GPL" stories be jumping on this with equal fervour? Considering they didn't cover the compliance with the GPL that "truth social" (awful name) did, I think we can safely assume they won't.

Get the Electric Vehicles to 'stock up' on kWh prior to the cloudy/no-wind period. And then induce them not to charge during the cloudy/no-wind period with a 'renewable hiatus' premium, of, say, 50-100% of the normal price of a kWh.

This is exactly it. If being "right" or "wrong" about something involves subjective facts (is the lamp "lit" by the small amount of electricity induced by cosmic rays too?!?!) and trying to visually inspect an experiment you can't access in-person, then the only thing "wrong" is the video maker.
I'm having a hard time understanding the value proposition for end users...

Actually, I think I understand the model judging from my own use of cards. Guessing account holders are sticky enough (refusal or reluctance to cancel cards e.g for credit scoring or for other reasons) that the initial VC subsidization of rewards can safely be ramped down as revenue increases. People will probably sign up during the first few years while VC money juices the rewards but will be reluctant to cancel once profit becomes the actual driver and... drives rewards down.

Hey I've got multiple cards and refuse to cancel any of them despite increasing fees and diminishing value, so I see the market for it now. And plenty of people will probably sign up thinking they can sell themselves to cancel their accounts once the river dries up.

---

Also, fyi the superscript "2" is used twice, one for trip cancellation, the other for hard credit pulls. The last occurrence of "2" should be changed to "4"

And there's a reference to "8" that I don't see defined at the bottom of the page.
There are other things you can't control. Like when NS records for a new domain show up in the servers for the TLD.

I suppose it's reasonable that you could provide a better estimate for new domains and transfers based on past experience and existing TTLs. But it will be an estimate. And the estimates would be individual or sub-group ones, like "estimate for a new .com domain" and "specific estimate for transfer of this domain", etc.
Nice. I've been a Kinesis user for 25 years. In the 90s I added the Silicon Graphics PS/2 driver to IRIX and I had a budget for testing. I had an RSI problems. I spent most of the budget on a a Kinesis and a data hand. It has been great for helping me manage my RSI issues. Still a process to manage it.

I do have an ErgoDox to really try first. Know it is an adjustment. But it is hard not to try this...
It should be obvious that the "c" here was used as a magnitude not with units. Saying that's "failing dimensional analysis" is in itself grossly sloppy - since it totally misses the context.

I read the article and still don't know the answer to the titular question. Why exactly was LOTR risky? Just because it was high budget and Jackson wasn't proven yet?
Federal, most State, and local governments continue to act inappropriately and can no longer be respected to do anything other than theater. This has become a giant show like the airport TSA theater.

they are not out to teach first.

teaching became second at some point. making views became first and more important. it is totally understandable. (they talk about the team, paying people, etc.) i personally appreciate the honesty. the video they did around the subject should still be around.
Lard and tallow have been cooking fats for centuries, and we've only had medical reports of heart conditions since plant oils became an industry.
The controversy is that it twists the standard definition of "on": the video boldly asserts its shocking answer of 1/d at first, only later to admit (with very little clarity) that the 1/d answer is only true if your definition of "on" is a small electromagnetic spike.

This also means that the "misconception" claim is really just click-bait and really there was never any misconception.

That really doesn't help the honest small customer. I want to buy something, pay the couple of bucks it costs and reliably get the service for my money. If I'd have to pay the couple of bucks a month in advance I would happily do it.
It's entirely possible that you and OP do not share the same 'what do I stand to lose' frame of reference.

There are (and always has been) many groups - it's particular memes or styles/groupings of memes which tend to be specific to some particular subculture, not the term "meme". Perhaps decades ago the internet was narrow enough to be considered a single in-group, but IMHO that wasn't the case already for the first memes that the OP (and their particular ingroup) considered, i.e. in the mid-2000s. It's obvious that the memes of the older in-groups are not known by OP and their in-group, and in a similar manner OP is complaining that they're seeing memes for which they're obviously not the in-group anymore; and because of the regionality of memes IMHO it never was a shibboleth for just a single group; both the concept and the name was used worldwide in disconnected cultures speaking in different languages with each other instead of the english-centric majority of internet.

There are no reports for leaks I could find, so while you can point at other bad actors in the field, why don't you celebrate the little wins of some company being transparent enough for once?
The flatness of the ErgoDox gives me pause when compared to something like a Kinesis or a Dactyl. I think the Moonlander is gorgeous but similarly it seems like it's "a little" ergonomic but not quite at the Kinesis/Dactyl level. But I really think my next keyboard will be one of these split models, just not sure which one yet.
Oh I wasn't trying to be condescending, I actually hold people hawking NFT to suckers in deep, deep contempt.
Fair enough, I agree that if we really examine the comment "word as a discrete unit of meaning", the edge cases start to accumulate and the semantics rapidly break down. But barring things like prefixes/suffixes/modifiers/composite word characters in traditional Chinese, words are fairly discrete and generally regarded as the primary layer for expressing singular units of "meaning"

Kind of a misleading title. The $200 fine is specifically a late fee for filing a report more slowly than the 30-45 day window after a trade is made. The punishments for insider trading, although I don't think they've ever been handed out since the STOCK Act passed, are much more severe.

Incorrect. It cannot, unless they copy it. You may freely take inspiration from GPL works. The GPL is not a patent.
I haunt thrift stores, and almost always there are SAT/ACT prep books for sale for a couple dollars. You can probably get them for free from your local library.

In my not-so-humble opinion, however, the best way to prep for the verbal SAT is to read books. Novels are fine.

For the math, prep by taking all the math classes your school offers, and make an effort to learn all the material.

Do that, and you won't need prep classes, and you'll also be well prepared for college.
Part of this is due to the truly awful image the current president of Brazil cultivates internationally.

>Of running a SQL query on the same database you're already using

Go back and read OPs link. They create new SQL types, tables, triggers, and functions, with non-trivial and very unforgiving atomic logic. And every system that needs to read or write from this "db queue" needs to leverage specific queries. That's the complexity.

>vs writing code to support some other new system

You mean using a stable well maintained library with a clean and sensible interface to a queueing system? Yes, that is far more simple.

It generally happens pretty quickly. Salmon seem to all have a "stray rate", where some percent will stray from their natal river on their spawning run. It makes sense, as it allows for colonization of new habitat, or to revive extinct populations. A lot of the current salmon habitat from Washington north was under glaciers not too long ago. So they have been doing this exact thing for millennia.

Straying is partly why you can see salmon spawning above former dam sites, even shortly after removal. It's also why you will occasionally see salmon in a stream with no documented population (sockeye salmon on the oregon coast for example).

As for how long it takes for a population to take hold I'm not sure. But I have read about salmon populations getting completely wiped out by landslides and recovering in 50 years or so, including the same adaptations (for example larger bodies for navigating a steep gorge) that the extinct population held. So potentially pretty quickly in the grand scheme of things.

Websites aren’t sentient beings, but they are more similar to commercial entities than people. Even if not intentional, websites gain traffic and can display ads. They have Google ranking. They have an audience and can get paid to share information with their audience.

Would there be an issue if they sent out letters to businesses asking how they comply with a California regulation?
