That depends, Ubisoft Quartz is on its own blockchain IIRC and there's no guarantee you can submit transactions without a Ubi account, or even that the signing key isn't just stored in your Ubi account.

Also, just to check on which blockchain it's on, I tried opening their FAQ page to see a "not available in your region" message (despite the Ubi store being available here, Israel). Hilarious.

A lot of the problem stems from Java’s boxing, because the first n values are cached and so defeat escape analysis can’t remove the boxing reliably, and that cannot be fixed without breaking some applications.
No Credible Evidence mRNA Vaccines "Dramatically Increase" Heart Attack Risk
"Do not prevent spreading" suggests a kind of black-and-white perspective. This is not about fully preventing, it's about reducing the risk. Vaccines substantially reduce the risk of spreading or catching Covid.

> Vaccine do not prevent spreading,

Vaccines do not entirely prevent spreading. But nothing does.

Vaccines are not entirely useless to prevent spreading. It's one of the few measures that has an effect. Less so with Omicron, to be sure.

Would you say "When wearing a bulletproof vest, you can still be shot in the arm or head, so bulletproof vests do not prevent injury" (and might as well not wear one when in a dangerous situation)

Medicine is not Boolean logic, none of this is binary, all or nothing. We need risk reduction, not sweeping reductive statements.

> the fact that educational debt in America can never be voided through bankruptcy seems like a conscious systemic decision to create debt slaves

The inability to be voided through bankruptcy, as I understand it, was setup so that educational loans would not wind up with insane interest rates. Given that they are unsecured (there's nothing for the lender to repossess if the borrower fails to pay), there is much greater risk to the lender. Being unable to discharge the load in bankruptcy is one way to mitigate this. Raising interest rates on everyone taking such loans (so the people that do pay subsidize the people that don't) is another. Presumably, it was decided that the former was a better option than the later.
I don't know much about this guy (Cummings), but I think it's different in that he has at least a position you may quietly agree with. The case above has no actual position; it's purely mercenary public manipulation.
I am afraid extending personal "moral rights" to the domain of property damage is a risky avenue to pursue. Who defines what's moral? I also don't agree with that the failure of enforcement by the society automatically grants anybody a moral right to break the law. What about all uncaught murderers? Actually, it is interesting we transverse to physical damage here. I wouldn't equate seeing outdoor ads to receiving bodily harm, to a theft of a piece of "consciousness" or attention - eh, maybe...

I don't know much about philosophy, but what if we can assume that legal rights end and moral rights begin only when we deal with someone's natural rights, is this tenable? If we take the Declaration of Independence as a starting point, as long as there is no danger to our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, we should not deem ourselves as being in the power to judge what property we can damage ourselves. Sounds like something I could live with.
> but, thankfully they're all alive and none was admitted to hospital.

So it's like a dress rehearsal?
Indeed. Unmanageable code bases come from conversations like this between management and developers:

“Look, we need you to implement this feature within the next 24 hours.”

“Based on my scrum analysis, I need about a week to implement it.”

“Sorry, if it’s not done within the next 24 hours, you will be out of a job.”

“OK....”

At which point, we get a hideous rush job. I have seen this happen time and time again. There is no language in the world which isn’t going to be able to force clean, manageable code under these kinds of circumstances, which alas can and do happen too often in the caffeine and work obsessed tech culture.

Long-time Wesnoth player here.

I noticed you and Andrew seem to be talking past each other here. Andrew is talking about Wesnoth in player vs player mode. You seem to be talking about the scenarios. From a balance perspective these are two completely different games.

For anyone reading here who hasn't tried both modes, the PvP mode is a fairly good and balanced standard wargame. You can play against the AI, which is decent but not great, or against other players online.

The scenarios on the other hand... what everyone is complaining about is true. But this is a problem with the scenarios, not with the game. In order to make them "interesting", pretty much every scenario has a bunch of gotchas in it, like if the objective is to get your general to the other side of the board in 25 turns, on turn 10 some event will happen like a dam breaking and blocking off the main path or a new enemy appearing on your flank. On a first time play through, it is very hard to anticipate what gotcha will appear and how to mitigate it. To make it worse, most scenarios are ten or more battles long, and you need enough survivors and gold from the early battles to win the later ones. So, if you barely win an early battle you've basically lost the scenario, but you won't find that out until later.

To sum up, when people are loving on Wesnoth, they are talking about the game, and mostly play it in PvP. When people are hating on Wesnoth, they are talking about the scenarios, which are truly unbalanced. Tell people to try the PvP first.
The retreat I worked at drinks 4 times a week, every week all year. Often the shamans drink more. I don't believe it causes any damage (quite the opposite), however the diet that comes along with it (traditionally fish and plantains, and skipping dinner on ceremony nights) can be very depleting. Breaks with normal food (salt, oil, vitamins) are great especially for the long-term (e.g. apprentice) drinkers.

A fellow orthodox christian here. I have been trying to cultivate the habit of Jesus prayer. But the journey is a struggle.

However, even in the fallen attempts to walk the orthodox way of life I occasionally sense the joy and warmth described in the spiritual texts about Jesus Prayer. Thus motivating me to continue the path.

Please remember me in your prayers :)

I recently started reading about druidism after spending the majority of my life an atheist. I found myself missing the spirituality side: rituals and a connection for meditation/introspection, which druidism provides (all revolving around nature, earth, moon, and sun). Additionally, druidism has a lot of neat math/science roots that I find pleasing, such as the eight holidays and the wheel of the year.

Druidism has a really loose belief system and offers a couple of options for you to choose from: mono, poly, and pantheism. I reject most "god-like" things, but I think I could become something of a pantheist (the universe is God).

I don't believe any religion knows what happens after you die, and frankly I don't really care. We aren't supposed to know, it's the great mystery, and instead we should focus on ensuring everyone lives their best life. Druidism has a theory about the after life and how you go through various lives until you become a good person, but it's not something I spend time thinking about. As an aside, Iris DeMent's song Let The Mystery Be perfectly describes my thoughts on this: https://youtu.be/0gQVS2fCsek

Religion is the opposite of Enlighenment. In the 21th Century, any religious thinking will be threated as a childish, inmature reasoning.
Just me or are the talks this year mostly in German? Also, what is it like to attend in person?
One reason, not everyone can or wants to open a bank account. Illegal immigrants, for example. Or people receiving food stamps, disability benefits, they often work for cash, because they can't show money in their bank account. You can cash a check at any walmart.
I can already do that with receipts, so it doesn't really solve anything for this purpose.

Maybe it would help in scenarios where receipts don't make as much sense (international online transactions perhaps?), but all parties involved still have to agree that the NFT means something.

The only way I could see NFTs being useful for proof of ownership is if the specific society you're part of has enforcement or regulation that recognizes them as legal contracts of ownership. Unlike cryptocurrency, they don't really provide that until you imbue them with it through a trust mechanism outside of the token itself.
All I see is someone trying to ensure accuracy.

Are you conflating accuracy with defending? Do you believe a wrong, should result in an alteration of truth, to make it look worse?
Here in the NL they're about €2,50 each, so there may be some subsidizing going on in Germany (or we're getting ripped off for €1,50 per test).

Schools and food banks can hand out free self tests so there is definitely some kind of subsidizing going on here, but in a different way.

Someone else mentioned "false front nonprofits"... If the companies are willing to cheat the government and society that way, they're likely gonna fuck over their employees too.

Issue advocates often have this thing where they feel that since they see their issue as more important than money and success, everyone else should too; and thus professional service providers oughtta be honored to have had the chance to contribute to the cause. Whatever the cause is. If you accept these terms even once, you're a supporter and thus any sign that you're not as nuts as they are later is a betrayal.

Even decent people become twisted caricatures after a few years of that kind of world.
I strongly object to the universality of the question.
At first I used an app on my phone to send myself random reminders to say the Jesus Prayer throughout the day. That really helped spur the habit along. Now, I am almost always saying it while I'm driving, or if I'm doing chores around the house, or if I'm walking around somewhere. At first, it felt a little odd, but now I find it much more rewarding than just letting my brain wander around in a forest of nonsense and ego-focused self-reflection.
Maybe you want to define slightly?

I've been practicing kriya yoga and hatha yoga every day for the past half year. I usually do it as soon as I wake up, and it takes about an hour.

In my case with my son, the guy who blackmailed him to give gifts was a friend of a friend of a friend. So usually you have only 2,3 people you know in real life, then each one will have other 2,3 and they will bring them into a group to play together. I never bought Fortnite shit for my son so he had no stuff to give and he got reported multiple times, probably some shitty employee that is super bored will randomly click some buttons to empty his queue.
I vaguely remember something along those lines as well, perhaps about C. S. Lewis and the Narnia series? It's been a while though.

While companies like Berman and Company have brought nothing but shit upon us.

It is PR firms like them that helped tobacco companies hide the link between smoking and lung cancer. It is ticks like them who continue to sabotage meaningful measures against obesity. It is leeches like them who try to sabotage attempts at solving climate change.

Literally hundreds of thousands of people have perished because of their actions.

These vultures are disgusting, their methods are disgusting, everything they do is disgusting, and I find it exceedingly hard not to think of everybody working for them as the same.

So no. I would never work for Berman.
Accidentally, this is the country that is familiar with what happens when government has too much control over its citizens.

OP asked an earnest question, and deserves earnest replies.
I'd recommend getting comfortable explaining things while coding. I also listened back to my videos a lot and tried to pick up on my bad habits - an example would be I often omit the trailing "t" on words like "jest" when I speak, which makes it difficult for some people to understand.

I'd also recommend making sure you are a real expert in whatever you are making content around. There's a ton of competition for online courses, you either need excellent presentation/marketing, or extremely credible.

Building an audience is also challenging - I did so using my YT channel [1], which also gave me a chance to get better at coding + explaining at the same time.

It's a side effect of how tuning works (local oscillator), and the signal is extremely weak, very little of it radiates out due to some components / PCB traces behaving as an accidental (poor) antenna.

Isn't without vaccines the death rate from Covid is around 4%? I read earlier 80% of unvaccinated in 2018-2020 stage, won't even show much symptoms. Singapore even gone thru extensive testing and their death rate was very low well below 1% and this was before availability of vaccines. So reducing the risk of that 4% chunk isn't significant.
You need to be careful with Ayahuasca to not have MAOI in your diet or medicine. Things like fermented cheese, fish, wine for example can each be dangerous.

Disclaimer: I used Ayahuasca once. If you must use psychedelics, stick to LSD or amanita muscaria / psilos, they are much safer. Its ridiculous Ayahuasca is legally obtainable in The Netherlands, while LSD and psilos are not with the former easy to standardize and the latter being banned for safety reasons (17 y.o. French student committed suicide in Amsterdam after usage).
Someone stated this to me as well and I asked for a source. They provided:

It's called Santo Daime, a syncretism between original indigenous beliefs with catholic christianity; though our views of being a Christian are very different from catholics or protestants though. From catholicism, mostly the non-vilification (praise in a non-idolatrous way) of the Virgin Mary and saints. There's also a mix of african religions which spread throughout Brazil and a bit of esoterism.
If you rent with most credit cards, it comes with insurance. Most insurance policies have a rental provision. Would you rather provide that information electronically, or be forced to call your insurance company at the counter? I think it’s an intimidation tactic and unreasonable.
It seems like one of the reasons rental car companies can get away with absurd stuff is because people see it as their only option. That's rarely the case. If people started taking the bus, the rental cars companies would probably have to improve their customer service, because they certainly won't be able to compete on price.
Every morning I wake up with attention on my dreaming process. I write down my dreams that I remember in my phone and later transfer them to my dream journal app on my laptop. I review my dreams periodically, typically once a week at night before bed, considering their symbols and dynamics as relates to my life.

I also meditate for 10-20 minutes every few days, which I want to turn into a daily practice
I am also bothered by the rise in income inequality. Specifically, in many highly developed nations, the likelihood one can jump up income deciles has greatly decreased generation-over-generation.

As someone who grew up lower middle class and leapt many, many income deciles, what ideas do you have to decrease income inequality? For example, you say that you are in the top 1% now. Do you favour increasing your own personal tax burden to help offset income equality?

Punishments for lawyers, sure, but I think for HR is a bit harsh. Lawyers should hold responsibility for contracts, and if HR are sending contract without lawyers involver, senior/c-suite should be responsible for allowing such a process.

> nobody gave a shit about fines

Much like doctors (I imagine) fines are inseparable from insurance, and or capital held/made from some activity. Fines covered by the money you made doing whatever you did are symbolic - they need to ramp up each time or they become meaningless.

> You can't ask an employee to do something that could put them in prison

Yes you can. If you think of a company as a collective, prison is an easy way to encourage scapegoating.

I think a better way is license suspension. Break some trading law? You are no longer allowed to trade, all trading business now non-profitable. Required to supply some information proving you aren't up to no good? 30 days to provide it or your business license is suspended, all new business is illegal until resolved.

target business activity and it's harder to do BAU in the face of penalties.
True. One would want to continually decorrelate services or model the dependencies. Redundancy will help even with some dependency, but you raise an important point.
The super wide bandwidth is on purpose - not accidental. It's also not "old junk", it was serving perfectly fine till some people decided they wanted to change the rules, and even then, work on avoiding interference been ongoing for decades due to different sources of interference.
