That’s where I can see the efficiency of free education.

I live in France and I come from about the median class. I didn’t struggle in my education.

But while I was a student, I saw quite a lot of people, who came from poor family being able to catch the opportunity to leave this poverty. Of course they still struggled more than me to pay their day to day expenses while I had the chance to be backed by my parents. Some of them have a better situation than me.

Of course, the fact that I was surrounded by tech students probably is an important variable. But I saw it happening outside of this circle too.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s far from enough, and there is still a lot of people abandoning studies because of money issues in France and we should fix that.

But managing to get through your studies to your first job with zero, or some manageable debt, is the way to leave poverty.

Ubisoft is already making NFTs (for cosmetics in this case; same tech though) where they control who can own or transfer NFTs. So...no., this doesn't help.

Ubisoft doesn't need NFTs to let people transfer their games to a new account, and they don't need to let people transfer their games just because they've given you a fancy commemorative memento of the time you gave them money in exchange for not owning a game.
OSM and OsmAnd are different things. OSM data is used by more than just OsmAnd.

OSM includes a lot more than what the public datasets provide, particularly if you're leaving paved ground. No other map has this much information about trails, fences, benches and signs. In some countries, it's the only map that includes petrol stations and banks.
It expect there will be large and frequent shipments of electrically synthesized anhydrous ammonia carried in supertankers from multiple competing tropical countries to northern Europe, and large reserve stocks of it kept at terminals there, and inland regionally. That ammonia will be burned in existing gas turbines or converted to H2 for industrial uses.

Then, the trans-national HVDC transmission lines also being built out will enable access to reduced spot prices, while remaining strategically unnecessary.
He’s not accusing god of anything, he’s pointing out that what one primitive civilisation saw as a sign from some supernatural being was a cosmic event with local consequences for another civilisation. He also shows how those beliefs, which in part survive from that early civilisation, are dissonant with our understanding of the universe.

It’s like a child’s belief that heaven sits on the clouds flying in a aeroplane for the first time.
I don't think you're talking about same thing

Just because JVM or CLR are complex, then it *doesn't* mean that writting good C# / Java requires you to be proficient at CLR/JVM lvl and because of that it is hard.

>meaning a newbie devlopper can produce something halfway baked in these languages relatively quickly.

Newbie developer can produce mediocre solutions in all of those - C#, Java, C++.

The difference is that in C#/Java world it may be slow and in C++/C world it may be exploitable (more likely) <snark>.

Anyway, in my world very often it's not about internals, but about modeling skills, about OOP, testability. Those are some of the ways of measuring how good the code is.

Good system modeling skills are way above technology
Thanks for clarifying the flu details. As for lockdowns- hindsight is 20/20, but I would do the following-

Issue public health advisory encouraging people to eat healthier, exercise, and possibly even offer subsidies on healthy groceries and vitamins. Vitamin D deficiency is highly correlated to negative outcomes with covid infection. To this day, our federal health organizations haven't even issued statements encouraging people to eat healthier or even do something simple and easy like address vitamin D deficiency. The messaging has been negligent at best.

I would not engage in a fear campaign, and lock people inside. Most spread was occuring between family members confining themselves inside, and stress wreaks havoc on your immune system. We've been subjected to fear induced mass psychosis for the past two years, and as a result have acquired a learned helplessness when it comes to our personal health.

I would also take steps to address to hospital staffing and capacity issues. In the USA, hospitals always run at near capacity, for financial reasons. Instead of refusing to upset that delicate balance game they play, incentives should have been put into to place to bolster staffing so that hospitals wouldn't be overwhelmed. Simply not using hospitals had the effect of killing many more people that were now missing early health screenings.

I would have also liked to see only the most vulnerable be locked down, and only on a volunteer basis. A western, non authoritarian government, has no way to truly implement lockdowns effectively. Partial lockdowns have no benefits, since they didn't actually stop the spread of anything. Instead they caused irreparable harm where they were implemented with very little benefit. Basically security theater. I understand the original intentions, but the prolonged lockdowns, justified by poor metrics of "success" quickly became a political response instead of a scientific response.

Lastly, outpatient clinical attempts at treating covid with repurposed existing drugs should have been prioritized. Trump's warp speed and prep act created insane incentives to actively hamper any attempts to treat covid except pharma approved methods. This whole response feels like the AIDS response all over again, except with more media coverage, widespread corruption, and money at play.
Mostly karma yoga: I'm working towards various big goals which largely benefit other people or manage crises. When I was younger, lots of meditation in the Nath tradition (sort of Hindu dzog chen - Nepalese, so there was a lot of cross talk with Tibet, Mahasiddha stuff).
Every company try to pay as little as possible. The only reason they can pay less in Bangladesh is because the economy there is much less developed.
Raise the minimum wage in Bangladesh and companies will move to somewhere else leaving those people with subsistence jobs and no way up for the economy.
Leave enough companies free to move there and eventually wages will raise as more companies will have to bid higher for the same labor.

Have you read the Bible? It's full of stuff like this. The story of the children who teased a priest so God sent a bear to kill them is a good example.
Same in Sweden. I have found employment contracts to have such a clause, and for it to be very wide ranging, but the law limits how it can be enforced. To enforce it in court, the employer has to:

- have a specific reason about why you can't work for the new company - you can't just "non-compete" working for another company in an industry, it has to be that you had access to specific know-how that your old employer wants to keep secret from your new employer.

- have the non-compete time-limited, according to how long the know-how is relevant for.

- offer financial compensation (apparently normally the difference between the salary they would have got if there was no non-compete, and the one they did end up getting at another company)

My understanding is that it sometimes happens for people higher-up in the org-chart, and doesn't really happen so much at the individual contributor level. (I'd be really interested to hear other interpretations, anecdotes or case law though!)
In this context it doesn't add much, except perhaps a public ledger cryptographically verifying the purchases and license ownership.
thank you, it's been a lot of work. You can check our repos at https://github.com/wodo-platform and see how much work we put on this.

I see two uses:

- as a storage format for 3d models - it could become a method to package parametrised game assets, so you can easily customise them.

- as a representation for 3d inputs in spatial reasoning tasks, like protein folding and self driving
Why would one store honour an NFT issued by another one?
Yes, and I'm in favor of allowing people form other countries to "flood" the labor market. I'm not a protectionist. I think people have a right to work no matter their nationality. (BTW I don't even live in the US).
How do I transfer a game from a shop that is already dead into one that doesn't yet exist? Any kind of transfer depends on both services still being alive and well. With NFTs I could retain ownership even when the shop is gone.
The same god who also required a human sacrifice (which was also sort of himself) to back away from his own cruelty?

Seems totally congruent.
"...up to an including the fact that if you get banned you...lose your NFTs."

That cant be right, well Ubisoft could still fuck this up. I can sell my NFTs on marketplaces completely independent of ubisoft. Sure they could invalidate, not honor the NFTs, but i wouldnt expect them to do so unless criminal activity like money laundering is involved.
If you want a "RISC-like" ISA, I think ARM64 is pretty good, actually.
Personal data collection, probably. I cant imagine it is for the user's benefit that it uses bluetooth and requires an app, but it does let them hoover up your contact details and infection status. This probably sells > cost of the electronics.
> Now, obviously, that's not the case with all education, but my next gripe with it is the seemingly insurmountable debt that said education brings. Literally, all of my friends that have gone to college are no where near paying their debt off and I'm in my late 30s.

I grew up lower middle class - not poor - took on a healthy amount of debt to get a CS degree from a crappy college in West Virginia.

Most of my classmates are doing quite well, and I'm working at Google - with a fellow classmate, literally in the 1% now (both of us, out of a class of only 8).

I know plenty of rich kids who went to Stanford and studied philosophy or underwater basket weaving, and they're killing it.

But that doesn't mean poor people have no opportunity. Sure, it's not equal. But it's far from hopeless.

I think there's a lot of people who look at the world and see how unfair it is and think: why even try?

The world is not fair, never has been, never will be even close to it. You just have to accept where you started from and try your best. And we can try to push for a fairer world, but don't hold your breath. If anything, inequality is skyrocketing and the world is becoming less fair.
That is due to imposing “shock therapy” and neoliberalism on the populations of the defeated socialist countries as punishment.

It has nothing to do with what girls are encouraged to do.
New Gmail and Outlook Warning Delete This Message from Amazon Now
It wouldn't be a huge issue if the user had control on when the reboot would occur. I mean, for many users it would be much better to have a reboot at 4AM say every sunday morning than randomly and possibly in the middle of something important. An external timer power cycling the router at the desired moment before the 20th day can solve the problem as the counter would then restart, but it would have been trivial to implement it in software.
Fundamental plasma physics research is a boon. It might be worth all the spurious fusion work to get the plasma research, and continuous employment for the population of plasma physicists.
> Despite this, almost all the company that I worked for in France had non-applicable non-competes agreement in their contract.

Legal intimidation. There should be a law against this, like "If a company is notified that part of the contract they wrote is illegal, and they keep knowingly pushing the illegal version, they get fined. And they have to send updated versions with the illegal clauses stricken to everyone that signed the old version."
The idea is to help people build powerful & consistent habits using gamification & social proof

3. Reply to the comment with stats (#stretches completed, rank vs. others)
4. Update the leaderboard in the thumbnail

Myocarditis is an inflammation that can, and often does, heal fully.

You are confusing it with ischemia (heart attack basically), where cells are no longer supplied with oxygen and die.
Sure, there are paths to financial independence in Sweden too, just not this one. I’d say most such stories probably involve starting a company and having others work for you. Some probably “succeed” by being extremely frugal. But nobody negotiates and job hops themselves to $600k a year.
In theory if some kind of token-as-license system were to be used by a game distributor, it would be trivial to confirm that the token contract address (0xff..) matches the contract address required by the distributor. Other tokens may appear similar, but would have a different addressable hash.

The same is currently true of the NFT art market: an artist can say "I minted 0xff.." and so a token with hash "0xaa.." is clearly not originating from that artist, despite them having some similar attributes.
Silly question, did this person/entity selling Mickey permutations on opensea actually pay around 400k USD equivalent in Ether to mint those 4000 NFTs?

I am guessing there is some way around minting fees.
No need for any caching, just do proper multicast like "real" IPTV networks do. Other than that, I don't think that enough people would watch the same shows within a reasonable timeframe to justify the costs.
I think it would be far more frequent that crackers gain control of NFTs and transfer them to a new account. Are users going to rejoice in the existence of a smart receipt they didn't understand when they are locked out of their purchases and perhaps declared dead on the block chain?
Coolest PaaS/IaaS I've ever used
If you've got root RCE can't you use it to "close" the implant and make sure noone gets hurt like some have been doing to counteract IoT botnets? How is leaving a gaping hole better?

EDIT: To those saying it would be a legal liability risk, isn't it a criminal offense in your jurisdiction if you know about a danger to someone else, not to do something about it if only warn them? (non-assistance à personne en danger, in french law) Or couldn't you partner with a security research lab with better legal counsel?
Have you seen TCL quadcode? It infers types and uses llvm - Check out the typing diagram; it is kind of crazy. Maybe it is to avoid shimmering more than anything, but I think it is impressive. Thought you might find it interestung even if you don't use TCL.

Nope, prison sentences for lawyers/HR. This is the only thing people give a shit about. When I was working in finance nobody gave a shit about fines, the only thing people gave a shit about was the prison sentences potentially handed to people for fucking up AML.

You can't ask an employee to do something that could put them in prison, but you can absolutely ask an employee to do something that risks the company to be fined.
I saw a talk by a guy working with OSM and he explained that they have lots of issues with licensing. Government data is often not compatible with their wacky licensing requirements. They then need to plead with bureaucracy to relicense their data. That naturally doesn't go well

OSM isn't exactly free to use bc it requires attribution (so you can't actually just screenshot a map and use it). And you sometimes can't tack on that kind of requirement to government data.

And from what I gathered they're so deep with their current licensing model that they can't modify it.

But I'm a bit hazy on the details. Hope someone more authoritative could chime in
> Individualism emphasises negative rights, but positive rights are important too: life, health, air, food, etc.

Positive rights and negative rights are in oppositions as you can't have positive rights without violating someone else's negative rights. We have a trade-off right now, but I personally only believe in negative rights for a variety of reasons.

> Why would some have no income if minimum wage was higher? The other possibility is that profits would be lower. Minimum wage has increased in the past in various countries, the effect is always pro-worker.

Economy 101. Increase the price of something and the quantity bought will be less. Companies will hire fewer people at that price.

> Or we could rationally plan economies to meet everyone’s needs.

History has proved over and over that's not possible (and there are theoretical well known reason why that is.
I guarantee Java would be vulnerable to the same category of errors even without runtime class loaders. Java puts a lot of emphasis on dependency injection, and has done this for a fairly long time. This takes the form of having classes pull dependencies themselves through some central registry over explicit construction.

It's arguably a symptom of a larger problem the ecosystem's sheer size.
When I started to pile some cash, so many opportunities opened up to save more money. Like I've got a chance to buy a good car for a good price, but I need money right now. Or I can buy plenty of food at once with a good discount, but I need to have enough money and enough refrigerator space to store it. Poor people who don't have a house, must spend tremendous money to rent it. I'm spending like $20/month to pay for house that I own. Poor people who don't have a car must spend tremendous money for taxi while I can spend laughable money for gasoline and have cheap transportation (while still keeping the option to use cheaper bus if I want).

Basically when you don't have enough money, you always struggle, you always have to pay more money for basic needs. And when you have some buffer, you often can negotiate and get better deals.

Another example is stress-free life. When I have enough money to cover my expenses for 5 years, I don't really care about being fired, for example. I know that I'll have enough time to find a work. But if one does not have that option, he'll bend before his manager, because he fears to lose work.

Also credits are a bad thing in my book. Mortgage is an exception, but only for cheapest apartments ever, so you can pay it as fast as possible.
But do you agree that this is not a very difficult technical problem, and could be implemented with our without a blockchain, and that the real issue would be how to get all actors involved to buy in to such a system? Why would Ubisoft want this? Commercial entities are typically motivated by profit, not wanting to bring Ready Player One to life.
Not sure if it counts as spiritual, but for 10 years I've consistently done subconscious, mind+body healing exercises. It's been profoundly transformative.

Prior to that (and for quite a while after) I had a huge amount of drama and chaos in my life, and after searching far and wide for answers (starting with the usual stuff - mainstream therapy, meditation, etc) I learned about these healing practices, which address the physiological reactions that happens when we experience triggering events.

Over time, my practice has developed into this: try to live a normal, well-functioning life, do my best at whatever I do. When things happen that trigger reactions - anger, resentment, arrogance, jealousy, contempt, shame, etc, or anything that makes me feel a jolt or even very mild visceral reaction, undertake the practice, which enables me to find where in my past the reaction comes from, then do a brief breathing exercise to let it go. Rinse and repeat. Over time, the reactions weaken, my overall stress burden diminishes (along with physiological issues like inflammation, chronic pain, etc), and bit by bit life gets simpler and important indicators like relationships and career steadily imrove.
these are the rules of the game. you didn't create them, you have little to none influence on them. you can disagree with them on principle, you can exploit them to your benefit. you can do both.

Why did these dataflow architectures never succeed? It seems, on the surface, like a good idea. Did encoding the instruction dependencies bloat I$ usage to the point that the advantages were lost?

Any current research in this area?
Woah, really in-depth write-up. It's sad that so many vendors are locking-up their Linux devices, preventing technically savy people from running their own software there (and also not releasing drivers to their hardware, for example it is really hard to find a 802.11ax router that is supported by OpenWrt).

> This app is written in Go, and it’s really hard to disassemble.
Shouldn't it be easier than an app written in C/C++? As far as I know Go embeds reflection metadata, including type information, which should help with decompiling. I have never tried though, so I might be wrong.
True, but that doesn’t make it better.
Yes, the 51 is really old by now. The 52 line extends down as far as the tiny nRF52805.

The 51822 is not nearly as fun to work with as the 52s, e.g. current Apache Mynewt with NimBLE doesn't even fit into the 51's tiny flash, the 51 doesn't have systick, and so on.
The Scalar Fallacy (2011)
I'm wondering if they're subsidized, but the price in Germany at the supermarket hovers around 1€ each. I was really surprised to hear that these are not a thing in the US, any idea why?
This variant is different. We were well aware this could happen. The question is, have those changes increased or decreased how deadly it is?
I agree, but housing is the real kicker in Europe.

Lower wages and higher taxes on working people (income and sales tax are way higher than property, inheritance and capital gains taxes (if they even exist!)) make it almost impossible to save up a reasonable deposit. Meanwhile house prices have gone to the moon. 30% rise in Stockholm in the last year alone for example, a 100+% rise in most of southern England since 2008, etc.

So you're stuck renting, and paying more for less, with no hope of building up savings for retirement (the state pension won't exist for us!).
Cool!

From a very quick look, the sample code prints 'r' instead of 'str' which was confusing. Also, is 'str' leaked or freed with 'r'?
You also do not have to use their tools. Use Rust with nrf-rs, or Apache Mynewt (with a fully open source BLE stack), or libopencm3, or…
