"Some bifurcation" is quite an understatement!

Unless you're trying to partition all actions into "good" and "bad", it's more like octofurcation or dodecafurcation. Microsoft is not a homogenous monolith...what does it even mean to split something that's already split apart?

Here's an old org chart which shows Microsoft trifurcated:

https://i.insider.com/4e0b340dcadcbbdd35120000

But realistically, each of 5 divisions - Windows, Office, Server & Tools, Online Services, and Entertainment & Devices (the above chart may have been made before the latter two existed) - has a president that's trying to make their division successful, even at the expense of goodwill earned by other divisions. Yes, Server & Tools has been knocking it out of the park for you and I recently with regards to developer enthusiasm, but they're a long ways away from Entertainment & Devices. Each of those divisions actually has another ~25 VPs and hundreds of Directors each trying to climb the ladder faster than the others.

To put it bluntly, Windows is jealous of all the post-sale revenue that Entertainment & Devices gets, and all the telemetry that online services gets, and has shoved as much as possible of both into Windows 11.

1) Why multiple transactions? you can give higher fees for a single transaction which will still give it higher priority

2) Unless you are a malicious BTC\ETH mining node that got the future transaction (which uses the nonce again), it will be too late. You will learn about the re-use only after the blockchain update propagates.
Yes. We don't allow public schools to require reading the bible...for different reasons obviously, but it still isn't being forced on kids.
A parliamentary system of government with multiple political parties may do well in the US. Here in Canada we have at least four parties; Liberal, Conservatives, NDP, Green. It is more than likely each election will result in a minority government which means the popular parties 2nd place maybe even 3rd have a say as well.

The problem is the US would also have to allow elections at any time with a parliamentary system. The leader of the party in power is the Prime Minister and if he or his party screw up a non-confidence vote can be cast. Then we go to the polls again.

It has to be elections anytime, multiple parties, possible minority governments they all go together.
you didn't even read what I wrote, or, if you did, you didn't actually respond to it, and instead chose to try to connect entirely unrelated points. as I said, there is nothing wrong with trying to change things in state and local politics, it's the best part of our political system and woefully underappreciated by most. the point of my above post, which I repeated like three times within it to the point where I thought I was being overly-redundant, was that encouraging mass migrations of people in order to achieve your political goals, in a Republic of fifty States, is ridiculous. if everyone played that game, things would not end well for anyone. I was going to refrain from commenting on this directly, but if I "can't put away the specific political affiliations in this discussion," then, well: I've only ever seen this from "the left"/"liberals"/the Democratic party, and I find this interesting.
> If you reward something, you get more of it. This creates a black market of arranging kidnappings for the tax break.

There's no reward, you'd be getting the same tax break if the child was not kidnapped. The rule is about how long it takes to lose the tax break in case of kidnapping.

The tax code itself does not deal with emotions. There's no code with a provision that says you can ignore it if you feel sad about something.

The people applying the tax code can make exceptions at their discretion. It's a difference.

No, that’s only how things work when you are looking for a pretense to ignore expert advice.

They purged those in some places already. This is also middle school. Fantasies of rape for a 12 year old? let me pass.

My 8 year old got "Our House on Fire"(the Gretta story) as the holidays reading. It is a hilarious fear porn with multiple bullshit claims. Idea is to scare, make the kid feel anxiety and get them to do "something". Reminded me of the old posters in USSR, What did you do for the 5 year plan???!!

my definition of encrypted is: something that is not in clear text and can be transformed to clear text with knowledge of algorithm and secret key.

I would call telegram "encrypted messenger" because its network traffic is encrypted -- I cannot understand what's inside of it, but anyone with the knowledge of the algorithm and the key can.

Main problem with capitalist ideology is that it's just self-interested parasitism denialism.
>It's not even about having the money or not - they'd get it in the end anyways if you were caught - it's about having a second vector to convict you.

Convicting someone of a crime is expensive, and police and prosecutor resources are scarce. In many cases it's not cost effective to catch and prosecute people. There are also soft crimes like independent escorting where the government would appreciate the tax revenue rather than try to prosecute every violation of law.

Has there been any case where the commerce clause has let the federal government down? It's a hole large enough to drive a country through.
It's disingenuous to use the Dr. Seuss example, since it was his delegated agents who made the decision. The way it's worded in your post - "using copyright to censor" doesn't reflect the fact that his estate chose to do this, on their own, using their uncontested property rights. What could represent freedom more than that?
Ironically modern Linux is trying to alienate the grey beards with uneditable config files, breaking decades of convention, etc.
I'm ascribing no precision to it whatsoever. You're putting the cart before the horse. Before you can argue about what a piece of evidence means, it first has to be evidence. An admission is a type of evidence, given by an individual against their own interest.

The fact that there are all kinds of arguments about this evidence not meaning what it is claimed to mean - arguments I wholeheartedly agree with - does not change the fact that it is a statement Joe Biden made that is negative for Joe Biden. This particular admission is extremely weak, clearly ambiguous, and frankly demonstrates that his opponents are grasping at straws. But there's still no getting around the very basic fact that it is an admission.
The core argument from economists for things like co-pays and against free healthcare is that absent a cost, people will over-consume health care, which misses the forest for the trees in the same way that the post I was responding does. The notion of humans as primarily rational actors and the conception of policy as needing primarily to guard against exploitation by those actors leads to policies like saying "sorry, as far as the IRS is concerned, those aren't your kids anymore" or "sorry, guess you gotta go without insulin or food," which are frankly fucking monstrous and should be rejected by reasonable people.
Leftists favor emancipation of the people from the capitalist system. There is no significant anticapitalist party in the USA. A Democrat who is narratized as "left-wing" in the USA for supporting universal health care, trans rights, etc. would be considered centrist anywhere else in the developed world.
That absolutely is the pinnacle of literature and it's part of life so it is important to talk about. And it's a very relevant passage these days, as men are culturally expected to actually have "genitals like those of donkeys" to be attractive.
> I thought Ethereum was a pre-mine scam at first (kinda still do)

This hits home. I really refused to acknowledge Ethereum for a long time, because I thought smart contracts and their need for oracles were stupid. Shifting around trust, instead of eliminating it. Security by obscurity, but for trust, is how I thought of it.

I agree with and share the sentiment of the rest you're saying also. Bitcoin and PoW generally are no longer interesting or useful to me, but I also feel sometimes like I haven't really warmed up to the rest of the sector yet.

I only mined with my desktop GPU. While I considered it, I never took the plunge and scaled up - instead I just bought more Bitcoin and sat on them for a little while, before I transitioned to other coins and tokens completely.

> However, I think we've had enough time to evaluate enough of these technologies

"We" (humanity) started working on networking/the foundations of the internet in the 1970s, and it wasn't until late 1990s that it actually became mainstream and started providing a solution to "real" problems we had at that time. What makes you confident we can judge cryptocurrencies in just ~12 years instead of ~20 years it took for the internet to take hold?

> There is just no problem being solved there that couldn't be solved more efficiently elsewhere.

How about a network where anyone with a computer could transfer X amount of something to someone else, without having to rely on a single 3rd party? You'll say that it's not a problem in practice, but the same thing was said about email in the past.
I suppose threatening to strike GCC developers with nukes might be more effective than bounties, but it also seems like a lot more expensive to carry out.

well no major database other than PostgreSQL has native support for UUID or ARRAY, you can certainly use string-based types for these things for other databases. the DB agnostic UUID is at https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/custom_types.html?hig... and for ARRAY it's likely most convenient to use the SQLite JSON datatype which is also supported directly.

A common cycle: lots of creative, hard-working people build a thriving business district, where it is thriving because customers find it an interesting place to be; then the banks want to locate there, which kills the vibe (people can walk around the banks, but density of interesting places matters), and the district stagnates as the original people sell out to uninteresting replacements. Does it not make sense to enforce some rules on who can move in next if you want to keep the place thriving? But the rules easily can go too far. For example, many a dog walker would love it if vendors could sell good, hot coffee along the dog walks or at the dog parks, but vending is forbidden nearly everywhere where it would be beneficial.

I don't know what backup tools you have in mind... But since a SQLite database is a single file (modulo write ahead journal and whatnot), making whatever you need is trivial.
Lower capital gains and qualified dividend rates are tied to entities that pay corporate taxes. As an example, REITs do not pay corporate taxes, so their dividends are treated mostly as ordinary income.
> The 30 micrograms of ribonucleic acid in an mRNA vaccine dose get folded into protein and make their way into the lymph nodes in your armpit. They do not “saturate the body”.

I am pro-vaccine, but this isn't really true.

Note that we have animal studies that used luciferase mRNA to see where mRNA medications are transported and translated. There's some systemic transport no matter what, even with IM administration.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4624045/

> Intravenous and intraperitoneal and to a lesser extent intramuscular and intratracheal deliveries led to trafficking of mRNA-LNPs systemically resulting in active translation of the mRNA in the liver for 1–4 days.

https://i.imgur.com/YSCFUQS.png

Yes, the muscle in your arm does a lot of the production of the spike protein, and a lot of that spike protein is captured by the lymph nodes in your armpit. But decent chunk of the mRNA goes to your liver, too, and a big amount of spike protein circulates systemically no matter where it's produced.
Yep. The signing is done with public/private (aka asymmetric) keys and some kind of hashing mechanism.
Facebook's actions keep being cast as if there is a completely open, level, neutral field that the censorious fact checkers are now distorting. But that's not the starting point. Facebook already has its thumb -- if not both hands and an elbow! -- on the scale, as far as what content is dispersed. The view is distorted to begin with, by Facebook choosing what is promoted and what is not.

They may not be doing a particularly good job un-distorting it, but it's not a choice between pure and free exchange of information and censorship. It is between whether Facebook is going to manipulate in both directions -- promoting and taking down -- or just one.

(Note that I don't think either of these choices are particularly good. I would prefer that Facebook did neither.)
Taleb is a polemicist, and knows how to use language that feels formal enough to his audience. I dont put any weight behind what he says about crypto currencies.

They claim to be. But when some of them unironically rolled out a literal golden statue of their human leader, I saw no outrage from the rest of them. I saw no condemnation from the rest of them. I simply don't believe their claim.
I guess I would have expected it to work more like capital gains, until you sell your stolen assets, their value seems unrealized (also hard for the IRS to track, unlike you depositing a wad of crumpled $20 bills into a bank account).

I'd say (and I think this happens quite often, moreso in politics) it is at least possible you may be overestimating his power to do so, perhaps at least by the time he realized it?

Twitter wasn't his github repo, it was his gazillion dollar company that has to answer to a lot of stakeholders.

I don't think they have a choice either way, but you're right, and I have a friend who recently did this, but not between Apple and Meta.

He was working at another well-known tech company that is suffering from a brain drain and he was getting a lot of exposure (including in the press). They gave him a seven figure retention bonus in RSUs, and he used that to get around the same from a competitor where he felt he would have better long-term prospects. Overall his yearly expected comp went up by about 50%, and should be around $750k-$900k at this point.
Why? Web3 is an idea/concept, much like the web itself or the internet (neither are "an actual spec, service or product"), but we can still discuss the web and the internet no?

Sort of, in a depressing way:

- It's pretty doable to get someone's hours for this, especially within the contractor or one of their DC buddies: there's already a customer and a contractor, and presumably, some sort of purchase vehicle & contract. The words "senior", "support", and "fee" are probably in there in multiple places.

- By (backwards) design, it is much harder for a truly expert OSS dev not in the contractor circle, and even harder, an OSS product org offering maintenance contracts for events like this

- The middle ground becomes sales/lobby-heavy orgs like IBM/RedHat, which introduces another multi-layer technical & political world of pain. I haven't worked with Cray (discussed in the thread), so no comment there. But as seen, we're seeing a chain of well-funded stakeholders being fine with not supporting for a prolonged period, which is cultural red flags.
The outrage regarding the Dr Seuss issue baffles me. The decision was made by the rightholders of the work since the author is dead. There was no public pressure that forced their hand. There was no sizable conversation about this issue until the decision was already made by the rightsholders.

How is the right-wing viewpoint seemingly that the author shouldn't have the right to be able to stop the publishing of their own work? Is it censorship because I can't buy JD Salinger's The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls because he didn't want it published until 50 years after his death?

As a developer, you know that writing code is not easy. It is something that you put 100% into in order to make your vision come to life.

You spend lots of time writing code, but when it comes time to debug and understand it, well…that’s where things get hairy. I can’t stress how difficult finding smart developers are in this market.

Yeah, that sort of entitlement would throw this issue at the bottom of the priority queue for me. They're lucky they even got a nice workaround kludge posted in the thread. Knowing that probably 3 layers of government contractors are being paid fat stacks to accomplish the task of posting breathless "bump, wen fix?" on the maintainer mailing list is salt in the wound. I would have closed the issue right then and there as a wontfix, personally. We shouldn't enable those sort of attitudes towards volunteers.
Within the current interpretation of the 5th Amendment, ordering someone to turn over physical property like a computer or safe key isn't legally considered as compelling someone "to be a witness against himself". If you want the source then there are many Supreme Court opinions on this issue.

> If you had asked me why I’d been so dedicated to developing the same game engine for so long, I probably wouldn’t have had a very good answer for you until somewhat recently. Perhaps I would have cracked a joke about game engine development being a basic human need for me, right up there with food, water, and oxygen, but obviously we all know that’s not a real answer.

I was exactly this person for a long time. I took a lot of pride in the fact that I wrote my engines from scratch when everyone else was using Unity. When people asked what drove me, I would joke that I had a disease. I had to make games. After getting some counseling and getting married, I've realized that game development is a great coping mechanism to help you feel safe and in control. You are the master of your own universe. For some reason it also helps you feel worthy, like you've accomplished something.

I'm not saying gamedev is bad, but I think a lot of people unknowingly use it to self-medicate.

Suffice it to say the journal was sent a letter from an attorney and numerous other legal threats were made/implied against the journal, invoking a range [of] dubious legal rationales including HIPAA [the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act].

What about the other legal claims, starting with obvious plagiarism? As noted in TFA, the journal (Cureus) had 16 prior retractions this year.

One thing I've learned when dealing with ethically compromised or unresponsive organizations is credible legal notices or filings get noticed and acted upon. In this case, the legal notice did what it was supposed to do - get the plagiarized article retracted almost immediately.

I have switched to Linux completely for my own stuff but I honestly would be reluctant to recommend this to non-tech users. There are a lot of problems when you run Linux on a laptop like battery life , suspend/wake problems and others. A lot of consumer software isn't available on Linux either. With Apple you get pretty nice integration between phone and desktop/laptop. Sort of possible on Linux but requires tech skills and hard work.
