Interesting. This doesn't make sense to me though because I thought part of the reason so much mining was happening in China is miners were taking advantage of electricity subsidies.

Edit:
This suggests that they are likely using VPNs and mining pools to do it.

> Although Beijing exiled its crypto miners in May and then doubled down on its mining ban in September and again in November, multiple sources tell CNBC that as much as 20% of all the world’s bitcoin miners remain in China.

Still, "most mining", has definitely been stopped.
Feel free to state counter arguments. I'd like to hear what statements I said conflict with your understanding of the science.
> Create a backup branch and push it up to GitHub/Gitlab/etc. This backup branch will have all your work nice and safe in case you need to start over.

The way I teach programmers to do this is to make use of cheap branches and to instead work on a temporary branch, and eventually use ‘git reset --hard branchName’ to turn your original branch into a mirror of the temporary one when ready.

This is a helpful mindset to get into; you can just throw it away in a worst case.
Companies rarely have an interest to get in a bidding war because the best outcome is that you pay a lot to hang on to that person for a little while longer. People at that level more often leave because their job was done and they want new, interesting projects, money alone won't cut it. The worst outcome is that it incentivizes more employees to try the same approach. The company either opens the spending floodgates, or rejects a lot of them thus losing people either to the competition or to demotivation.

When it's one person they probably rely on the fact that the team and structure in place can take a loss. When it's a mass departure they will give bonuses as they have done recently with the possible departures to Meta.
These products have a goal of protecting sites from bots that can guess the answer. They have a financial incentive to present the most effective filter: ones that AIs can't seem to get through but real humans can.

This makes me think: It must be hard for AI to guess what is and is not a bus right now, but most humans do know what a bus looks like and can pick one from a photo.

But with concerted effort and years of research by our finest minds, we will make an AI that can detect whether something is a bus or not, and then we'll be asked something different instead.

It’s ironic, [name redacted], that you call [name redacted] abusive when you have been so psychologically abusive and violent to him the past 2.5 years as you have been incessantly stalking him, defaming him, his company, his friends and associates, family. Your vindictive behavior and evil desire to ruin him is psychologically violent and abusive. Who really is the abusive one?

Before you stalk someone who you desperately love but he doesn’t love you back, remember just one thing. You are wasting your precious time and energy. Use your efforts to make yourself better. Love is not about being desperate. You need to accept the fact and take time for yourself to grieve the pain that it’s over and work on your own happiness. Let [name redacted] go, and focus on building up yourself instead of tearing [name redacted] down because at the end of the day, all you have is yourself, you will never leave you. And you can’t love anyone until you love yourself. Work on own your emotional health. Your behavior is not healthy and not something anyone, your parents, your employer, God, would be proud of. Examine your own self and how you can be a better person. Your vendetta helps nobody. YOu're not protecting women from [name redacted]. You're only trying to ruin him because he hurt you and didn't love you back the way you loved him. And you're actually just "humble bragging" about how you dated a successful guy who had remote interest in you for 2-3 months, then dumped you. You're youngWould you be on this vindictive rampage and bragging all over the internet if it was someone not semi-famous? Who are you really trying to protect? Your story is your story and your own lesson you need to learn. Stay out of mine. Move on, find a new relationship, and find a man who reciprocates the love you seek.
That's not what woke means though. You don't let trolls dictate what you understand of any other words, do you? Woke in this context means insincere and/or hypocritical support of liberal causes, as wikipedia and urban dictionary clearly list as definitions.
Most notably you will likely end up with duplicated elements in PATH unless you take specific steps to prevent double-adding.

For example, I have this in my (relatively complicated) shell config:

# Don't double-add $PATH entries
_not_yet_in_path() {
case "$PATH" in
$1:*) return 1 ;;
*:$1 ) return 1 ;;
*:$1:*) return 1 ;;
*) return 0 ;;
esac
}

# Only absolute paths to currently-existing directories are be allowed in $PATH
_can_add_to_path() {
case "$1" in
*:*) return 1 ;;
/*) test -d "$1" && _not_yet_in_path "$1" ;;
*) return 1 ;;
esac
}

prepend_to_path() {
if _can_add_to_path "$1"
then
export PATH="${1}${PATH+:$PATH}"
fi
}

append_to_path() {
if _can_add_to_path "$1"
then
export PATH="${PATH+$PATH:}${1}"
fi
}

No - you aren't missing anything. Apple is a vertically integrated company now and they are never going back.

Intel also has little shot of competing with Apple on a talent perspective. They won here, but I suspect Apple has a plan B for who they are going to poach to replace Wilcox, and that person is probably better.
>The reason the US does nothing about climate change, privacy, inequality, etc. is lack of homogeneity

I don't agree with the general point, but I do think the GOP funding class uses the US's heterogeneity as a wedge to distract from those issues (or anything else that would cost them money). See all of the culture wars.

What's the one big thing congress passed during the Trump years? The tax cut. That's not a mistake.
Typical moat-and-bailey pro-woke argument.

There is no discussion or dissenting views allowed for most “woke” people.
Glad you asked. Since i despise the horrible UX of these Captcha where i get exploited to train a neural network, i very often click on the majority of correct result plus one wrong one.

On average the captcha let me go through which is actually very scary, since it looks like it prioritize algorithm training over bot detection...

You aren't far off: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Anonymous_Attestation

When you are instrumenting software with anti-forensic security features to mitigate the speed of some reverse engineering, you run into this specific class of problem, where you need to get a machine to make a verifiable attestation to its identity and integrity and prove to a level of acceptable risk that the message isn't just someone inserting a breakpoint.

If you have ever had to design an "offline mode" for a verified transaction without a 3rd party verifier, you will need to run down this rabbit hole. This is to say, your intuition is a sound one!

He was actually an engineer apparently. I would say that differentiates him from a regular MBA suit. At the very least he can tell who is contributing on the team and what gaps need to be filled. Someone without experience would have to rely on someone else to determine this and who knows the qualifications of who he's relying on.

Prior to working for Apple, Wilcox was at Intel where he served as a principal engineer on PC chipsets

The Muslim world stretches from Africa, through the Baltic states, through the Middle east and into Asia. Most of them couldn't even read it easily. Al Jazeera belongs only to Qatar, it's not an outlet for all Muslims who make up 25% of the world's population
Dangerous to give any credence to this tripe.

Models like the one mentioned (without references) are created by humans and the parameters they use are arbitrary. Scientists make some assumptions about parameters and run them through the system and get some results. They do this many times and vary the parameters to see what happens. It's the change in results vs the change in parameters that is the interesting stuff. Claiming they can predict the future is dishonest.

Why do all references to climate models refer to 'The models or model'? It's like they are supposed to be oracles -- they are NOT. There is not just one or a few. They do not all show the same things.

Models are a useful way to learn, but picking one result, not showing any work or stating assumptions, and then publishing click-bait referencing it is not ethical.

> Climate models project the first 35°C TW occurrences by the mid-21st century.

Which Climate models? Oh sorry it's the ONE so I won't question further. It could never be wrong.

Do other models show anything different? Oh there are no others I see.

What parameters were used? What datasets? There are zero references to any of this in the original paper but that didn't slow down the click-bait climate-fear-porn author who is not a scientist but a corporate communications person.

> Looks like the data points have more to do with how many weather recording stations a region has than anything else.

As others have said the 'survey data' they do reference seems to be mostly about how many stations a region has.

Who funded this?

Is this the same as `merge —squash`?

I’m pretty sure it just creates a single commit on the target branch rather than a merge commit.
If we used the megagazillions we currently waste by stuffing them into the military-industrial-complex for useful things instead, we could easily end hunger, provide medicine and clean water, give everyone acess to moden technology and high quality education, fund tons of useful research...

The fork point is unlikely - a big thing about Bitcoin is its brand, the fact that it was first, its creator is unknown etc. So when forks emerge they're viewed negatively regardless of their technical merits (kind of what happened with BCH). The main BTC chain can be absolute garbage and it will still be the largest cryptorrency for a long time regardless of forks or competition.
The eye-opening bit for me was that any system even to seriously consider would have to be millions of km long.
Because WWII era London sensibilities. Now it’s a tradition.
To add to this - even if the motherboard manufacturer allows this despite Intel's advice, in their stock configuration none of those CPUs allow AVX-512 instructions out of the box. You need to knowingly and conciously go into the BIOS and disable all efficiency cores first, to make this option even appear. So "as sold" the product doesn't support AVX-512 instructions and the advertising is absolutely correct. Just like you can overclock the CPU but it doesn't come overclocked out of the box(and Intel assumes no liability if you do overclock it).
For me it was when my daughter wanted to watch Friends but Netflix lost their license to display it and there was a point in time where you literally couldn't watch it anywhere.

Yeah I don't have a right to watch Friends but that was some BS. Set up Plex, fired up my old IRC client and now new TV shows and movies from a half dozen streaming services automatically appear on my TV ready to watch whenever I want.

I still subscribe to Netflix (get it free from mobile provider), Amazon Prime (use prime for delivery) and Hulu (got it for 99 cents per month for a year) but I don't really actually use any of them anymore.
The problem people have with Snap is that it's basically a fiefdom run by Canonical. Canonical's repo is effectively the only one, they get to choose which software gets to be unsandboxed and which doesn't, and updates are forced. People don't like it because it is Microsoftian in its user hostility.
> try to "nation-build" afterward.

This hasn't happened, though. True nation-building has not been seriously attempted since post-WWII Germany and Japan. Cargo-cult efforts to "export" the figments of electoral democracy (as seen in Afghanistan and 2000s Iraq) do not matter. They were always doomed to failure.
That’s better than many nations at war.

He might:

These things happen.
yes. the blame shifting seems to be a very skewed thing here. then again, this is a tech forum, so of course it would lean that way. stupid users vs bad tech, so let's just blame stupid users.

I disagree, Google captchas in my experience are much quicker compared to hcaptcha

When cloudflare switched to hcaptcha I definitely noticed it.
Oh so you are back. You're a liar too. Pathetic. I use that word because of your gate-keeping, not because of your brand of anarchism.

> choose to use "anarchism" to mean a non-leftist ideology

I thought using leftist was offensive (even though I didn't mean it offensively) and you asked me not to? You're a hypocrite too.

>you should expect that most people will misunderstand you

I expect you will misunderstand because of your willful ignorance of the term. Calling it 'hijacking' is a lot different than calling it different from whatever looks mainstream to you. There is no mainstream brand of anarchism, it's an ideology without coercion that can manifest in many ways.

Spare me the speech about politeness. You called me a hijacker of a term and say "I think I know this." No I do not, in fact I know the opposite. I think you're an arrogant and self-serving keeper of the word anarchism, one who tries to hide their vulgarity in pretty language and has the gaul to act like a victim for a curt retort.
Now try doing all that but without a properly functioning search engine or good docs while navigating multiple layers of bureaucracy for a 1 line bugfix. Welcome to working at a megacorp.
You can use Syncthing for "cloud" storage as long as you keep an instance online at all times. Syncthing's functionality is a superset of Dropbox etc. People absolutely use Dropbox for device-to-device sync. They are not necessarily interested in the "cloud" backup but just want to send a file to a mate.
You need to look at things relative to something that makes sense in the context of the conversation. Obviously, it's better to be a barista in LA than a starving kid in a war zone, but the context here is that we're talking about people who want to be famous actors and can't, so they take on minimum wage jobs to survive until eventually bitter disillusionment hits.
Wow. I've given a few friends access to my 18 TB Plex library but never would consider selling access to it.

I actually use Vim like this, in fact I wrote a plugin to go all the way and make it a completely "normal" editor [1].

It's endlessly surprising to me that still to this day Vim is most commonly considered through the lens of its keybindings. It's sooo much more than that! It's a lightweight terminal editor with one of the largest, if not the largest ecosystems of pioneering extensions. It really shouldn't be weird that you'd want to take advantage of all that without having to submit to the religion of modal editing.

I recently started using `git commit --fixup` which I really like. It lets you take the current changes and apply them to a commit which is not the most recent (in a fairly roundabout way). It's good for when I have a stack of diffs and want to make changes to multiple commits at once. (Note this is a pretty advanced technique, if you're not super comfortable with `git rebase -i` I wouldn't bother even trying to understand `--fixup`)

Essentially yeah. Look at the proposed alternatives from the right in the US which basically amounted to "If he dies he dies" but scaled up to millions of people. One of the most consistent deflections is that "only the already sick" are dying of COVID which beyond being wildly untrue also has the strains of "it's your own fault you're dying why should I do anything to prevent it?" which doesn't bode well for our response to climate disasters.
I'd say that threshold is closer to 40 wpm than 160 wpm.

That’s why it absorbs so much energy when you wear it. If it didn’t take that much energy, it wouldn’t be that useful.

But heat pumps are actually extraordinarily efficient, so ice production isn’t bad compared to the cooling it would give the wearer.

Which is one of the reasons many buildings build up big blocks of ice at night and then use them to cool themselves throughout the day.
A few years ago there was a startup called Paysa. You searched by employer and it showed you the salaries of each job title. My company was small enough that it made it easy to see the salary of many of my employees. We did not initially understand where that data came from. I did not leak it. We put together that each leaked salary was of someone who had recently applied for a mortgage or auto loan.

Read the fine print next time you attach a paystub to a loan application. They are likely selling your data to aggregators.
It's weird how many unrecognized geniuses there are in the neuroscience all claiming to have explained the brain and people just need to recognize their genius. All sounds very similar to Jeff Hawkins.

Just want to come in here to say that Syncthing solved my note-taking app "problem" that I've been bothered with for years.

I want my notes as plain text files (or Markdown files to be specific), and I'd like to sync them with my phone. I'd also like to use the text editor of my choice to edit said text files. Cool, I just install Dropbox on my desktop, sync the files, and edit the files with Sublime Text. Oh but huh -- I can only edit the files on my phone using the Dropbox app, which doesn't work when I'm offline or have spotty reception.

I install Syncthing on my Windows PC (it runs the syncthing.exe on startup), install Syncthing and Editor[1] on my phone, and bam, now all my notes are synced directly to the filesystem of my Android phone and editable by any text editor I choose. As an added benefit, I still have a cloud sync on my PC, so the files are still backed up to a cloud service!

You understood my point, you seem to disagree and that's fine.

I do agree that people back then appear to care less about arm dealings. I beleive they care more today then back then. And that people also care about a lot of other unethical practices certain large corporations get involve with. I think people always cared, but information didn't flow as fast, broadly, and independently as today, and even that is being fought against (again by large corporations).
If you don't think diversion coupled with virtue signaling is a thing and that it is elaborated precisely for their desired effect, fine. I shared my perspective and the one many people beleive is undoubtful at this point.

Weapon dealing / wars are beside the point perhaps but directly relate to the whole thread: Hollywood propaganda.
Don't forget that Recaptcha magically works better in Chrome, and even bettery-better if you're logged into a Google account. In FF (with tracking protection) you can expect to see the enforced wait and "Please try again". Honestly, it's awful.

You just make things up as you go. What do you expect to happen to people who steal weapons from looted police stations and shoot at the army and state forces?

Do you really believe that Western states would deal with this in any other way? Do you remember what happened after 2005 London bombings? Do you remember how the police in Brussels dealt with Paris attackers? Do you think 6th of Jan 2021 would look different if the mob opened fire at the police?
I feel like approach #3 could have been implemented without abro.or() and it would have been fine and had a little less magic. Though looking at the code I realize you'd need something like `await abro.any(events.pointermove, events.pointerup, windowEvents.keydown)` and a good way to determine which kind of event you got, and finally abro.any() doesn't exist. So maybe abro.or() (representing a group of complementary event handlers) is better than the alternative.
You know that you can change a browser window's size? The alternative is a thin strip of text with enormous margins, which I find about as annoying as overly long lines. Written pages aren't really mean to be displayed in very wide windows.
