Surely this doesn't apply at the high end?

When I rented a BMW438i a few years ago I would have been severely upset if I had been offered a Toyota Camry instead. Similarly when I rented a rather nice Land Rover.

On the other hand I was not especially concerned when I didn't get the Skoda Octavia I had booked on another occasion; I was lucky then, I got a Mercedes C230 instead.
Why Facebook conversion tracking is hurting your business?
Writing not from Poland, but from Czechia, which is similar. I have only seen checks arriving from the U.S., never used for payments within Europe as such.

If you receive an invoice to pay, it will have the correct account number on it. Also, nowadays, many merchants include a QR code that makes payment with mobile banking app much easier. You just start the app, it activates the camera, reads the image and all you have to do is confirm the transaction. Very fast and with few possibilities to make a mistake.

Landlords will give you their account number as well, it is usually written in the contract.

If transfer fails, it is your problem. I am not sure how Americans handle bounced checks, but if someone gave me a check that I was unable to clear, I would suspect them of fraud.

B2B is mostly wire transfers and sometimes credit cards. Bookkeepers prefer wire transfers, because matching them to invoices is usually trivial nowadays. Any good accounting program will do that for you.

As for privacy, I would feel a lot more comfortable giving someone my account number (they cannot really do anything bad with it) than my postal address. And if your business is a VAT payer, its account number will be publicly listed by the tax authority anyway.
NFT's are not a source of truth.

It's an illusion to think that they are, but they aren't. The stolen art that is put on NFT's from artists is still the artists one and not from the NFT creator.

Ontopic: the company that creates the software/game owns your account, there is literally 0 benefit for them to use a NFT.

As proven by occasional threads on /r/cpp and including complaints from Bjarne himself on some of his talks, that is unfortunately not yet a common practice.

Regarding C#, if you really want to learn how to do C++ style programming in C#, have a look at the documentation regarding C# 7.0 - 7.3, C# 8, C# 9 and C# 10 regarding readonly structs, span, stackalloc in safe code, blittable types, GC free regions, malloc/free calls, allocation free memory pipelines, in and return ref types, local references, using pattern (implementing IDispose is no longer required)

Regarding classical C# (what is available until .NET Framework 4.8), you have structs, value types, manual memory management via System.Runtime.InteropServices.

> One rationale that I heard that seems reasonable at face value is since you can't give back your education, that's the justification for not being able to declare bankruptcy.

It goes a little further than that. It doesn't really matter that you can't give back the education. It's that the loan is entirely unsecured - there's no collateral, but also the people who get student loans typically don't have any assets. So it would cost nothing to take out student loans, study, and then declare bankruptcy.

Hearthstone has exactly this system (only friends can chat with each other). What happens quite often after some matches:

The solution should be simple: allow billboard ads, but tax them based on surface area. Use the tax revenue to hire more street sweepers. This shouldn't be hard to implement, as the city is already quite effective at fining businesses that do not comply with Cidade Limpa. Want to turn a building facade into a giant LED billboard, Shenzhen style? Fine, just pay up. Everybody wins.

This kind of policy would make sense for a quaint old European town, but here we're talking about the largest city in a developing country. Generally as a developing country your first priority should be to, well, develop. The last thing you want to do is stifle economic activity.
There are slow low energy ways to get around the solar system by using the Lagrange points in the orbits of various planets/moons. Large amounts of refined minerals could be distributed this way assuming a solar powered refinery on a large asteroid or even just parked in space.
Awareness is important but I feel this kind of self-logging goes really too far in terms of efforts vs results.

Some people might feel that they are not in control of their life even after a month of logging. Some that they should optimize every minute of their life for "productivity".

I suspect doing some introspection with help from a psychologist could be much more effective for both types.

A fun excerpt from "Capabilities: Effects for Free"

Capability-safe languages prohibit the ambient authority [18] that is present in noncapability-safe languages. An implementation of a logger in Java, for example, does
not need to be initialised with a log file capability, as it can simply import the appropriate file-access library and open the log file for appending by itself. But critically, a
malicious implementation could also delete the log, read from another file, or exfiltrate
logging information over the network. Other mechanisms such as sandboxing can be
used to limit the damage of such malicious components, but recent work has found that
Java’s sandbox (for instance) is difficult to use and therefore often misused [2, 12].

Emphasis added my own.

I only ever had this problem when renting in the US (especially with Hertz). Here in Norway it went like this last time I rented:

- walk up to counter
- announce my name
- show my driving license
- get handed the keys
- get told where the car is
- say goodbye

Total time, roughly thirty seconds.

Even in a UK airport where there will quite likely be a queue the actual transaction will only be a few minutes.
I thought about this just a few days ago and I thought I would like to ha e a personal assistant which tells my brain what Todo.

Like when I look at my watch it says 'work' and that should help me to allow myself to focus on work because I know my assistant will also 'schedule' news reading and other things.

Otherwise I'm constantly thinking and rethink ing what I want to do and end watching some yt because I'm to unmotivated at the evening to do something else.

Most financial institutions are required to keep transaction records for 7+ years by law, and you could maintain your own copies indefinitely.

I think an Amex statement from 1999 would stand up just fine in court if you had a scanned copy sitting in your Dropbox.

It is enough to search for a pornstar's name to find porn in the Reddit app. This works even if you don't have an account and NSFW content is disabled. While it's not as "simple" as a porn keyword, it is almost certain people do this. Reddit relies on people tagging their content as NSFW, but of course this is not something they can enforce 100%. And once you find an account posting NSFW, you can access all their NSFW posts even if they were made on subreddits that are hidden to you if you search for them explicitly in the search bar.

By the way, when I typed the actress' first name, I was already being suggested a subreddit dedicated to sharing nude pictures of another woman with the same name. Again, I used the app as it comes straight out of the App Store without logging in or changing anything.
And that's precisely why it should be illegal to release software without the source code, just like it's illegal for supermarkets to sell foods without a list of ingredients.

Really simple reason: Intel talked to us, AMD went "lol here's a bunch of embedded boards, go fuck yourself."

Intel also has the NUC compute element solution which significantly simplifies the EE and allows for a seamless upgrade to e.g. Alder Lake.

For example, 80% of my time is spent building my hard skills, which accounts for 20% of my income. Network, negotiation, politics accounts for 20% of my time and 80% of my income.

Do I spend all my time sucking up to people? No, nobody wants to deal with that kind of person. But I have to spend somewhere between 1-20% on it.

> Inflation has historically been targeted around 2%,

thats' been much higher than that because the basket they use to measure inflation is not at all representative and does not account for the cost of energy, anywhere.

Believing the propaganda from governments does not help much.
I don't disagree but we have to start somewhere. For example: formally specify [the clear parts of] HTTP 1.1 with declarative programming (which will generate proper code) and that would already be a huge jump.

My point is: at one point somebody has to contribute.
The CC can't be charged for any big amount though. I don't think the value of a 1000USD credit compared to the value of a car is of any assurance in practice. Also the CC can be almost maxed out anyway.

I guess the rental companies that fuss about CCs has some kind of kickback.
This was awesome.
Fair point. Smart contracts can only enforce digital property rights insofar as the digital property is constituted by smart contracts. So this would work with NFTs, as they are blockchain-based assets, but not classical video games, which are not.

So what would work is if the providers of the game assets are governed by a decentralized protocol on the blockchain. An example would be a game which is dependent on a remotely provided computation element to run - say a massive collectively rendered virtual world - and this element is provided by a distributed set of providers who are compensated via a smart contract, mechanistically, upon the blockchain validating proof of work they provide to a smart contract.

Such a game could provide a person with a guarantee that a particular NFT will have indefinite access to that virtual world, because the guarantee will be enforced by immutable smart contracts.

>>People maintaining an infrastructure just so they don't have control over it is also a pipe dream

They do it for the same reason Ethereum validators stake their ETH and validate blocks on the Beacon Chain: to earn income. But what they earn is enforced in a decentralized way, according to the rules encoded in the protocol, to make it maximally immutable/interference-proof.
I don't think it's a different problem, there are people posting in thread about basically this problem, I'm pretty sure they were aware they were leasing the game and not owning it, nonetheless they lose access to the game for periods of time and that time loss is not reimbursed in any way.
>The Index is at 130 degrees and even that looks like you're looking through a pair of toilet paper rolls.

Not even close. The binocular overlap is >0 degrees. It's more like wearing ski goggles.

>Why do they bother going with such high resolution if they don't expand the FoV?

Because resolution in VR is a big problem since it's being stretched over your whole view. This means that in order to display a virtual 1080p monitor you are going to need a lot more resolution than 1080p to be able to do that. As you starting adding more degrees of FoV you start needing to render more and more pixels due to the distortion.
I've been working with Django since version 0.96. Still a lot of love for it, but for the last several years it's not my default for new projects though. The Django codebase is far from what can be called modern. As an experiment, it's easy to open up some Django core modules side by side with other frameworks that were mentioned (FastAPI for one) and to see that the code looks so different to the point where a programmer with not a lot of experience with Python might think those are different languages altogether.

Much of Django's core has not changed in a very long time, so there would be no type annotations and other modern Python constructs.

FastAPI, pydantic, uvicorn, httpx would be in my list to answer OPs question.
Russian court increases jail sentence for Gulag historian
> Not in the case of a mark-compact collector, which works entirely in place, or a mark-region collector such as Immix [0], which only copies a small fraction of the heap.

The mutator always allocates from a contiguous memory region. It can't allocate from the memory that was logically released, but not yet collected. So it needs more total memory than the amount of live memory in use at any time, unless you have an infinitely fast GC (which you don't have). In order to avoid too frequent GC cycles, or to allow it to run in the background, you need to make that additional amount of memory substantial.

JVM GCs typically try to keep low GC overhead (within single %), which often results in crazy high memory use, like 10x the size of the live memory set.

> but it is commmon to use a separate marking bit/bytemap

Sure, you can place it wherever you wish, but it still requires additional space.
Absolutely - that is indeed a valid point. It would seem though that these sharing operations seem to be going after a different - perhaps newer and bigger, market slice than the traditional agencies.

It would indeed be great if they could bring this new way of operation to those too.

Big Tech’s Next Monopoly Game: Building the Car of the Future
Exactly. The idea that NFTs somehow help in these kind of situations is utter nonsense. Sure, if Ubisoft minted an NFT and give it to you, they couldn't delete the NFT itself. However, it is always up to Ubisoft or whoever else is using NFTs whether they want to honour that NFT or not. You can present them with the NFT, and they can say "Hmmm... no."

An NFT is like a key to a house. You can use it to open the door until the owner of the house decides to change the locks. You still own the key, but that impresses nobody.

Car rental in the U.K. as a U.K. resident is more complicated than car rental as a non-U.K. resident. Not 100% sure why, but it seems that U.K. residents are required to basically do full IDV (which requires two proofs of address) and prove they have no points in their licence.

None of this applies to non-U.K. residents, which probably make up the majority of customers, so the rental website usually put all these details in the fine print.

Also while your looking at Zipcar (which is great) also take a peek at Virtuo. Only place I’ve ever enjoyed renting a car from.

I don't understand. Or does this mean because the malware was being used you refused to publish documentation about it? Because you think people targeted by nation states are evil?

Intelligence services are the worst terrorist organizations, and most people targeted by them are in fact very friendly persons. If only intelligence services dealt with the actual criminals and not revolutionaries, we wouldn't be having corruption and power abuse scandals every other week in all "developed" nations.

This is just a minimum for me and this site is usually as close to social media as it gets.

Privacy is one thing, security is another. Lots of script kids out there, but it's the state hackers you need to worry about. Most of their targets are PEPs, journalists, defense contractors etc.

Very rare for anyone to care otherwise as the normal persons privacy and security are not worth much.
If they put a few GB of RAM in the router, they could run a proxy in it to play video out of a cache of traffic broadcast to all terminals in range of a satellite and held by terminals that actually want it, obviating need to upload and download multiple logically-identical copies of content being watched (at possibly different points in the playback sequence) from multiple terminals in the area. This would reduce loading on the channels, enabling more effective bandwidth from the very limited available spectrum.

It would need adaptation at the application layer, but the data management needed is minimal. It would also need some attention at the central terminus / edge node serving the area, to identify duplicate requested streams and shift a corresponding stream to the broadcast channel. In turn, this would typically depend on cooperation from the original source of a stream, typically mediated by their contract with an edge cache service.

The extremum of usefulness for this facility would be when hundreds or thousands of terminals in an area are used to watch the same World Cup football match. In this case, the cache storage footprint would be minimal, as almost all viewers would be watching at the same point in the broadcast.

More commonly, a few blockbuster movies and local news might dominate broadcast traffic. But no advance planning or personal attention would be needed; any stream found being fed to more than one downlink could be shifted to broadcast according to the amount of bandwidth that would thereby be saved.

As laser inter-satellite links are added to the constellation, a single uplink stream could serve simultaneous broadcast from multiple satellites in a chain.
