Sounds like a hardware problem. Libreelec has been running on my Pi2 for literally years. The only time I had problems was when the power supply of my Pi failed. If you're running a Pi, try changing the PSU. Bad power can cause many problems that you wouldn't expect.
US forces are in Germany so that they can “project the force”, not to defend anyone, because there is nobody to defend against there.
I have found that after trying a bunch of different setups during the years. Kodi, Plex, etc. I have settled on using: Sonarr[0], Radarr[1] and Lidarr[2]; combined with Jacket[3] and your favorite torrent downloader (I use Deluge). Add the TV Series you follow or movies you want to watch.

This setup downloads everything for me once a movie or episode becomes available to download, and then I only watch content that is already downloaded using VLC. This is pretty good specially if your Internet connection is a bit spotty at times.

I've been using this setup for years now, and I'm pretty happy with it.

An epiphyte is a plant that grows entirely on another plant – in other words, has no roots in the ground.

Vines and creepers are not epiphytes, because they have conventional roots in the same soil as the larger plant (or other structure) that they cling to.

I can't parse your 2nd sentence so I can't comment, but moss is not vascular and does not have roots or any mechanism to transport water internally. It just moves through the plant by capillary action.

This is the key difference between mosses and clubmosses.
Have you ever had the experience of immersing yourself into a cold lake?
You've picked a niche edge case where the benefits of the local taxes are directly internalized into the individual via materially higher house prices and better schools. Of course I'm not going to opt-out of my taxes if those taxes are directly going back to me in proportion to the SES of my rich neighborhood (which is something that a lot of progressives are unhappy about), and not the person down the road. I also dispute that there aren't switching costs to pulling kids out of school in order to dodge state taxes that are much smaller, and for the large majority of people it is hardly as trivial as just moving down the road. Moving from CA to Texas just to reduce tax burden by a few percent might not be worth the switching costs. What if my family is in CA?

Anyway, this example doesn't translate to the majority of taxation which are more akin to transfer payments, and which are harder to escape from. My ROI from tax I pay into public health care is about -98%, which is much lower than the ROI of tax spend that goes into my own kids' school district or which directly pumps up my own house price. Just because I'm not abandoning my family doesn't mean that I'm choosing to fund public healthcare. In practice, I'm being coerced.
This raises a really interesting question. Though it’s essentially impossible to figure out the key for any given wallet… if you download the blockchain and generate private keys as fast as you can, how often do you find one that has a balance? Will there just be some ongoing very low but decidedly nonzero risk of all of your assets vanishing some day if you’re not using multisig?
Slightly OT, but here's a mood tracking app I wrote (on-topic inasmuch as it's free, and collects absolutely no data notwithstanding using CloudKit to synchronise state).

I wrote it to learn SwiftUI, hardly anyone uses it, but it was fun to develop.
I only agree with the sentiment. The problem is that doctors aren't here to improve your life, they are here to treat symptoms and diseases when it's already too late.

If the solution to your particular disease involves a year of changing your lifestyle then no doctor on earth is going to help you. (it's not their job)
It'd be nice if there were clear ToS about what rights the child has to derivative works automatically created from their drawing.

Curiously, after hitting a random page and >> twice, I came upon this page
https://playxo.com/bitcoin/904625697166532776746648320380374...
that had several keys in use in the past.

I would expect this website, in the rare event of discovering some positive balance, to try spending it right away...
Great advice. Personally I prefer Headspace, but that’s a matter of subjective taste.

Both apps have free trials.
While most of me likes the idea of being paid good money for my efforts, or even for doing nothing if I can get away with it, a rather pesky part of me (a nagging entity that calls itself “a conscience”) would take all the fun out of doing it by enabling harm to others (via selling information on possible exploits, for instance).

The other blockers of course being that I have neither the skills nor the time to find such flaws in the first place!

It is true that there are people out there who do have the skills, and the time, and would be fine with selling their results to third parties, so maintainers (particularly those publishing widely used projects), would do well to treat people who practise safe disclosure with sufficient inducement to keep doing so.
Actually, if you have one, I can think of some use for it.
>Finding an active wallet is hard, but not impossible.

Hard may be an understatement...
Lithuania is trying hard to troll China, but realistically, they don’t have anything to say wrt where their data is stored, because they are just too small to have a say.
"There is no slow and steady. It’s still a race to consume"

Britain ran out of Trees to consume like a thousand years ago, they have records of forest cover since year 1000 and it's between 15-5% ever since.

The cocept of forest management and 'you don't chop down the last tree' is over a thousand years old.

What is the race to consume after trees?

You have no choice but to harness wind, which can actually cover humanity's energy demand, and to use electricity to create fuels and to refine metals. These technologies are over 100 years old. We would be poorer,it woupd be more difficult, but thos alternative scenario doesn't lead to sudden collapse - atmosphere is a unique resource thats impossible to own.
Walking your city gives you a perspective you don't get from driving or public transport. Everything seems a lot closer and you get a better idea of how the parts of the city are connected. I am fortunate to live in a city which has a forest within it's boundary. I can be in a shopping centre one minute and walk to a forest fifteen minutes away. Walk another 30 minutes and I am looking at a 3000 year old henge monument. The wonder of Belfast.
> as for modelling, I believe the Imperial group predicted "worst case 300K dead" for the pandemic. The UK is already halfway there by official stats, never mind excess deaths. Certainly it's hard to model complex systems but it's not really plausible to argue that they haven't got it right to a first approximation.

From the actual Imperial paper[1]:

In total, in an unmitigated epidemic, we would predict approximately 510,000 deaths in GB

That's next a graph labelled from Mar 2020 to Oct 2020, and the portion of the graph that is above zero appears to run from mid April to August.

That isn't the only glaringly obvious mistake in the paper either. Still, I digress. You wrote:

> It's not about arbitrary lockdowns, it's about looking at the evidence in front of you and wonder how "the multi billion cost, the harm to mental health" might compare to an overflowing A&E room and many many preventable deaths just because we didn't lockdown a week earlier.

From the Macmillan Trust's recent report, The Forgotten 'C'? The impact of Covid-19 on cancer care:

> Given the current recovery trajectories and worrying indications of the rise in Covid-19 cases across the UK,we consider these to be ‘best case’ scenarios. We believe if cancer referrals and screening do not return to pre-pandemic levels, the backlog could grow by almost 4,000 missing diagnoses every month, reaching over 100,000 by October next year.

> Macmillan fears that for some people their chance of survival will be reduced and that untimely cancer diagnoses could result in significant loss of life

> More than 650,000 people with cancer in the UK (22%) have experienced disruption to their cancer treatment or care

> For around 150,000 people this included delayed, rescheduled or cancelled treatment.5 Of these, more than half (57%) told us they were worried that delays to their treatment could affect their chance of survival.

If we're talking about preventable deaths and, like the Imperial paper, you don't wish to look at the figures, then I suggest you take a look at some of the personal stories included in the report, like Simon's:

> it still took two and a half months to get
my scan done, and then only as I’d ranted and complained. I then had a phone call towards
the end of May, to tell me ‘I’m sorry Mr Green, you were right, the brain tumour has come back, and it’s now inoperable’. I was devastated.

> Because of the Covid crisis no one could attend the hospital with me, and I had to deal with this news alone,
I was speechless.

> I should never have had that MRI cancelled. If they’d found it in March and operated straight away, could I have been around in 10, 20 or 40 years’ time? I’ll never know that.

Maybe, just maybe, the backbenchers and, hence, Boris Johnson (due to their pressure) cares more about lives than their political careers, had you considered that?

The History of Byzantium by Robin Pierson, which follows on where Duncan left off in The History of Rome is excellent too. In fact, I think Pierson is a better writer than Duncan was back when he did HoR, so I enjoy the HoB more. Duncan's got much better with Revolutions though.
Hey John - I came here to ask the same question.

>> leads to the "end" page, it's not as I though a "big jump" from some random page... thus I suspect it's simply addresses that are low entropy, at the end of the range.

Yes. If you look at the infographic here:

Notice the bubble that says "LLVM Codegen" (44% done). This is the LLVM backend. All the other bubbles do not depend on LLVM at all.

I suggest to check back in with the next release of Zig and see where we are at. I suspect we will have at least the x86 backend fully operational by then.

I find this hard to believe for a different reason. Your average car becomes quite hard to control at 160kph ish (barring a completely straight stretch of road). I cannot see a 15 year old surviving any instance of going over 250kph, much less something described as ‘escaping from the police’.

I build something out of a 555 just the other day!

https://twitter.com/njcw/status/1467522736000053256

Its the primary (20kV) for a tesla coil. The 555 toggles a power MOSFET which drives the primary of a car ignition coil making a nice crackly 20 kV spark.

The 555 was my first introduction to electronics. I still have the 555 book my dad gave me back in the 80s!
Well I just read the definition of corruption as dishonesty for gain, and this cover-up fits the bill.

Even if they don't fit that definition, they're a broken and grossly incompetent organization that covers up their own criminality, with no mechanism for accountability.
Usually, tar-like substances still sweat out a range of volatile aromatic compounds which aren't good for your health. Yes, heat-treating them would get rid of 99% or more, but that's not good enough for housing.
I'm curious whether anyone has ever actually stumbled on a wallet containing coins via this method of randomly walking all private keys. The odds are... not in one's favour
Pretty sure the wines would be extremely popular, as it is the only of its kind (vineyard) in the whole country - even if some portion of the public would never drink a wine produced at a nuclear power station site. But according to the sources I was able to find, the process for getting all the food safety certifications for a commercial operation is just not the worth the effort at the small volumes they are able to produce.
You might be proving his point if painkillers have been so normalized that aspirin is not considered a painkiller any more.

Maybe it’s just that the vast majority of people freely choose to disagree with you on this.

Let me put it another way, how would you go about increasing peoples freedom (or reducing the authoritarianism you perceive) in such a way that they started meeting your expectations of behaviour?
> I’ve never seen any evidence to suggest pairing is less efficient overall.

It's not less efficient, but is it really 2x as efficient as having a single senior dev per task, with proper code reviews and tests in place? And it does cost double upfront, you can't avoid that and costs are the limiting factor for many (especially smaller) teams... some of this cost will pay back in terms of bugs being less likely and easier future maintenance and all that, but can you really claim that it will absolutely ALWAYS return the initial investment? To paraphrase on your own words: "I’ve never seen any evidence to suggest it's guaranteed to be that much more efficient".

IME (and I did a lot of pair programming in my career) it depends a lot on the people being paired, how complementary their way of thinking is, and also on the particular task being worked on. It will never produce a worse code than solo programming, that's for sure, so it's great if you can afford it, but if you can't there are other ways around it to come close (code reviews being one), and that was the whole point of my comment.
Being young probably helps them quite a lot if they do get in a crash. I’d like to see the numbers for overall crashes and hospitalizations.
These are classified as "agricultural equipment", and as such they of course have access to most of the road network (not major highways) and do not need to go fast. Only "unnecessary obstruction" of traffic is illegal, "obstruction for reasonable cause" is perfectly fine.

The thing that annoys me is that there is not even cursory control that these cars are used in connection with agriculture. It was fine in the past, because it was relatively rare that the regulation was abused. After a recent change in the law that made it cheap/easy to convert regular cars, it has become a menace.
The major VPNs log, this has been shown in court cases. If they say they don't they're either using a limited definition of log, straight up lying, or about to run into problems with the government.

Possible causes are caching or random seeding using integer seconds.
Crunchbang has 2 successor distros:

BunsenLabs (very conservative, basically just updated CB).
CrunchBang++ (modernised a little, with some new features and shiny).

AIUI:

The BunsenLabs community are aggrieved because they respected Corenomial's rights over it and so didn't use the original name.

The CB++ people are bolder: they asked him, got permission, and were a bit more radical.

TBH I wish they would either settle their differences and re-unify, or the BunsenLabs folks be a little more radical and (for instance) move to Devuan instead.

The site doesn’t need people’s luck to find any active wallet, cause it could operate without them. The probability is so small that any reasonable time spent on including a spending routine would be pointless.

Unless the author trusts in luck or has too much free time on their hands.

If you check 1 billion addresses a second, and there are 100 million addresses with a balance, then it would take on average roughly (2^256 / 10^8) * 10^-9 seconds, which
is 36717430630808027468154168254911183362909051 billion years.

EDIT: Only 463439129036942 billion years, taking into account that there are effectively only 2^160 addresses.
‘Convenient’, or unsurprising because it’s just recording the current scientific consensus around vaccines and that’s the same thing driving current policy? Not everything is a conspiracy with malevolent intent.

For all the damage that COVID has wreaked, it’s providing a huge increase in the amount of attention, effort, and investment going into studying the immune system, vaccination, and infectious diseases in general. It’s not surprising that some older ideas and theories are being overturned or modified.

You’re also wrongly treating the vaccines’ effect on transmission as binary, either being fully sterilising or not. In truth they’re all able to reduce transmission somewhat from 20-50%, and that alone might be a good enough benefit to mandate full vaccination across the population.
> you need a stove, you need a pot, you need a can opener, you need a bowl and a spoon/fork

For the military, I'm sure that's important. But surely anyone enthusiastic enough about prepping to stockpile MREs will already have a can opener and a camping stove?
One thing you can do that's quite lucrative for someone is to generate all the keys corresponding to common dictionary words like "dog" and "cat". The way I know someone is doing this is I was testing some transactions and somehow whatever I was sending was immediately vanishing. So someone out there has taken a dictionary and done this already.
Checklists work well to make sure you’ve accounted for everything you know will usually come up but often get forgotten. These are things like the code cleanup and refactoring.

You should try to go quite granular rather than broad when coming up with your estimates. Better to have lots of small tasks, it shows you’ve put enough thought into the estimate and you have enough small tasks that estimation errors will average out.

You should also consider the level of detail the requirements have. For example if you don’t have wireframes there’s a lot more uncertainty than if you do. You should put confidence intervals or buffers to account for that.

It’s always better to overestimate than underestimate. There’s an asymmetry here where underestimating can cause chaos and overestimating is much less painful.

I recommend reading Software Estimation by Steve McConnell.
Sure, but that "second" you mention is an eternity compared to the max 30µs (see referenced paper) it takes a CPU to switch from highest to lowest frequency.

Obligatory reminder about the birthday problem - the probability that someone birthday is a particular day is 1/365, but the chances of two people in a group of 30 having the same birthday is very high - because the universe has so many combinations of people to work with.

The chances of hitting a particular wallet you want to hack are 1/2^256 or some absurdly minuscule number, but the chances of hitting some wallet are higher because there are so many opportunities to get lucky.
Are they though? What kind of a random number generator is being used? Does it have 256 bits of entropy?

I'm not so sure about your argument: the usual argument against a VPN is that you are trusting effectively somebody else's computer. They can have all the business incentives in the world, but we know that some states go knocking on doors with gag orders. A 5$ wrench (or its threat) can get a long way.

The point is that we can't easily know who is compromised and who is not. There's always a certain level of trust required. The argument is that if you host your own VPS and use that as exit-node, at least what you're buying is more generic and the VPS provider most likely wouldn't care. But again, it's a matter of trust.
You could shorten that by recognising the address space is more like 2^160 in BTC, due to the address generation process, more than one private key can spend from a given address, technically.
people used to buy CD/DVD/BR and rip them. nowadays it's easier and faster to download from somewhere.
Is that the average time until the first collision, or the time it will take to generate all possible private keys?
I hope not. Tor being used for whistleblowing and censorship circumvention is one thing, but the onion network is pure anarchy and probably the worst case scenario of what the internet could become.
