I only buy iPhones because I’m price sensitive.

Right now, Im on an iPhone SE 1st gen I bought in 2016 for $400. Still runs well, and Im on the latest iOS.

(However, I agree with your statement generally. I believe that globally the iPhone is a premium phone)
ahh that upsets me, i proposed and implemented it for a client about 6 months ago
The fact that the Ossoff/Kelly bill likely won't get close to passing either means it's plenty toothy for enough senators from both parties.

The better bill is the one that passes.
Everything is appalling to sociopaths, the whole concept is that they blend in to places that do have a policing mechanism

And so by proxy you’re trying to shoehorn a boogeyman into a benign technology, pick a different thread there are plenty to fearmonger over the dark web
Summarizing*
With the amazing new technology of cryptocurrency, you can now give money to people you don't know with no legal recourse in case they rug you or funnel the money to criminals, yay!

Governments developed KYC laws beginning in the 2000s so that banks wouldn't inadvertently help criminals by laundering money or providing access to capital.

Vancouver is a city dealing with crazy housing prices and a fentanyl drug problem because of illegal money. The government is moving in precisely the opposite direction to the article - to require listing the beneficial owners of land[1], again to expose organized crime and prevent money laundering. Requiring real names is a feature, not a bug.

Aaaah, that makes sense. I think the flag of Scotland (󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) is the longest usable one I've seen, but you could stack near infinite items in Zalgo form on top of normal letters if you count those. I don't think Unicode has any restrictions on the amount of co combinatory characters, though most text parsers will probably enforce some kind of limit.
The beauty of skepticism is that you don’t have to. This is an unreasonable burden of proof.
Wouldn't this fall under software patents? Not sure about the US but it's not a thing in Europe.

I don't think copyright applies unless code was actually copied. But IANAL.
I think Walmart considers that a bug not a feature.

I think people could consider Walmarts markup to be unjust or no value or whatever.
Do you have an example of how you might do this?

Can you encode "and we have recourse to the Delaware courts" into a smart contract? I thought you could only encode statements about things that happen on the smart contract's blockchain, but I'm not very knowledgeable about this.

If you do not have access to real-world courts, in the case of fraud, how do you recover your money? That is, suppose that investor A invests a bunch of cryptocurrency in pseudonymous founder B according to a smart contract, for a certain project, and B uses the funding to hire engineer C to help with the work. However, B and C are actually the same entity, who had no intention of doing any work at all, and B pays a generous "salary" to C and then comes back to A a few years later and says "Yeah we ran out of runway, we're gonna shut down, sorry" and A says "Yeah it happens to the majority of startups, it's fine." Then A hears a rumor about what really happened. How does A go about substantiating that rumor and getting their money back?

The only solution I can see involves B putting up collateral in the smart contract equal to the amount A invests in B, and that can only be released when some decision is made some years later that indeed B was non-fraudulent (let's imagine, for the sake of argument, there was a smart-contract court of chancery that could evaluate whether B was working in good faith and had subpoena powers, although I'm also curious about how that could work). That way, in the case of fraud, A could recover the amount they invested because exactly that much money is locked into the contract for this very purpose. But the market for venture capital where the founders already have as much money as they are raising, and are willing to lock up use of those funds while they work on their startup, is extremely small - such founders are necessarily capable of bootstrapping themselves.

So I'm genuinely trying to understand how it can be done or better yet whether anyone has done it. (Smart contracts are generally public, right? So if this has been done, it should be visible?)
C in KYC stands for Customer. Would this really apply to investor-project relationship?
That's generally what I end up doing. It's not ideal, but it at least allows me to order the columns how I want.
Nobody has any idea, but so far almost all of the Freenet, IRC, and Usenet police raids have been on end-users who originated or used forbidden information, not people who merely ran a server. In most countries running a Tor bridge is safe, and in a smaller number of countries running a Tor exit node is relatively safe, although numerous end-users of Tor have been arrested for one or another crime.
And this is strange, since what they are talking about is obviously "anonymity".
If wearing a mask doesn’t make it noticeably more difficult to breathe, most likely you have air bypassing the mask—look for gaps and try to get a better fit.
> Androids marketshare is FAR FAR bigger

Not in the US. Apple has 60% of the mobile market compared to Google's 40%[1], and Apple's App Store is responsible for 100% more revenue than the Play Store.

It is, and something an ORM can manage, but I spend a LOT of time in the psql CLI.
But sometimes official documentation can be cryptic like man pages and some Python documentation. Those g4gs and others usually have easy to understand examples and some extra explanation you don't in get official documentation.
Did the Ossoff/Kelly bill get to the front page?
> In Q3 2021 (the latest earnings release), Uber's gross bookings were $23 billion while their revenue was $4.8 billion. I.e. 79% of the bookings were being paid out to the drivers

I don't see that follows. Does Uber provide that number explicitly? And what is the net for driver/hour?
"It should bring stability to a social group and reduce injuries due to needless in-fighting which effectively ensures better survival as a group."

That's probably how it started, but the definition of social group expanded as we came to realise how arbitrary and culturally determined social group boundaries are. Once we account for those biases, and start to see all animals as just trying to survive in the world, it's a natural progression to extend that empathy to them too.
Twilio has an API to identify the provider.

Still costs money, but if you're sending a lot of messages, this would substantially reduce the costs.
Nobody exists in a vacuum when it comes to supply chains.

It's a supply chain, not a supply pipe.

There's only so much that can be done. Their logistics didn't suddenly get incompetent between 2019 and now.
And what if you pay 10 freelancers to ship under your name, making you look like a '10x developer"?
Moving from Walmart to target requires lots of supply chain logistics. I suspect it’s actually easier to move apps to new App Stores than work out how to get products into completely different vendors.

Also for IT, Walmart requires IT interfaces from its suppliers.
I lived in a favela in Rio Comprido controlled by comando vermelho (tropa 17) all 2019/2020.. I used to visit my gf and her family, at first but then when the pandemic happened I rented the 'apartment' underneath their 'apartment'.

Everyday I would walk past the the checkpoint with like a 15 year old guy with an extened clip glock behind a makeshift cement barrier.

The internet situation was pretty weird, some telecom, that I could barely get any info on made a deal with the comando to provide everyone with internet. every month I would walk up with my gf further up the hill where the C.V. headquarters were and we would pay I think about 20 dollars to the boss, this big fat black guy with a revolver and a metal cash box, and a list on paper of all the families that paid, and what speed/tier they paid for, I opted for the 30 dollar a month ultrafast bandwidth(i didnt notice a difference), but it was fast enough for my gf who was Gold in League of Legends to have 40 ping.

This was not one of the major telecoms, and they had some sort of deal with the C.V. and when the internet would fuck up the Commando even had technicians

https://imgur.com/a/J9QjBuQ

here is the favela

across the way from the checkpoint CV is selling drugs on a ping pong table, one day when my gf+her family was out of town I just had to go see what the deal was and bought a little bit of everything

https://imgur.com/a/DD1xeh6

CV stands for Comando vermelho(red command) and PR stands for the favela Paula Ramos..

CV also made money from the little busses that i took to come and go, the other way they make lots of money is selling gas, and selling guns to bandits.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention I never felt unsafe at all, and have been robbed only outside of the favela.. If there is any crime or stuff like that the comando would kill the robber or thieves. I only felt unsafe when the police/bope would come on raids, because they didnt get their monthly bribe.
2021 also continued the streak of consecutive months with the global average surface temperature above the 20th century average. November 2021 was the 443rd consecutive such month [1].

In my experience it’s down to the race to the bottom. Cheap power supplies, poor heat sinking, over driving the LEDs so they can use less of them but keep the same lumens. People don’t seem to mind too much when replacements cost a couple of bucks.

Better quality bulbs tend to last much longer, personally I’m waiting for the “Dubai Lamps” to become available here and I’ll prob slowly switch over to those (shame they are not dimmable). Although I have to admit the supermarket own brand LED bulbs that I currently have in use have put up a much better fight then I initially gave them credit for.

Yes, it is, “other stuff” that we can’t explain or model without XX degree polynomials that require hand tuning.
Uploading / streaming gameplay in most cases is copyright infringement that is ignored by the rightsholders. Only a very small number of games' licenses give you permission to do so and usually you aren't allowed to do so for commercial use (think pay wall), but they do allow things like ads as an exception.
Does MAV-PT still pay for spam or are you doing this for free? (The party this guy is spamming for is widely known for paying for spam comments and generating politic discussions online)
Similar to many modern interactions, the hiring process has become dehumanized.

1. Applicants must wade through large volumes of job postings, which are often poorly written, and frequently lacking key information which is important to the applicant.

2. Employers are overwhelmed with large numbers of applicants, most of whom don't meet the requested minimum requirements.

3. Employers are then too overwhelmed to reply to all the applicants.

4. Applicants are then annoyed with the lack of replies.

5. By the time an employer finds a potential match, the applicant may be difficult to reach, or is no longer interested.

6. By the time an applicant hears back from an employer, they are disappointed in the quality of the response, and already have a bad impression of the employer.

Possible Fixes?

Yet another platform with...

a. Strict expectations from employers. Honest and clear statement of requirements, responsibilities, salary, benefits, and other information.

b. Strict expectations from employees, to only apply to truly well-matched positions.

c. Transparent feedback requirements for both employers and applicants.

d. Response time requirements for any parties to respond to messages.

e. Detailed, consistent formatting of job applications and applicant info.

f. A closed-loop end of the process requirement: employers and applicants must communicate with a certain level of transparency and honesty. Some examples:

Employer:

We are unable to hire you at 95k since our maximum budget is 80k for this position.

We have hired another candidate for this position because they had more (skills/experience) in B2B sales.

Applicant:

I have been offered a similar position for 95k with better benefits.

After interviewing, it sounds like the department is in total chaos right now, and I'm not comfortable with that.

Yes, honesty is really hard, due to cultural, legal, and other issues. Yet it's the best tool I know to improve the process. What else could help improve this quagmire?
Maybe it is possible to adjust the hue of the monitor, so the trigger colors are not hit.
Maybe desaturate?
That's new. I always thought clones of successful games is widely accepted practice in game industry, game mechanics can't be copyrighted or patented.

Pretty weird to go after Apple and Google with such a frivolous lawsuit, their legal teams will tear Krafton apart.
30% is insane, but lets keep the number aside for a moment.

If the user chose app A over app B then specifically what help has Apple provided to the App creator of A to justify the 30%? Apple's argument is they're bringing customers. But even if they do nothing one App is going to get the customer anyway. Also, Apple gets paid for advertising Apps and services to end users, so again, what are they doing to bring in customers to specific apps?
Man, I remember doing this around a decade ago back before some of my friends abroad had smart phones, being able to message them when they were away from their computers had such a fun novelty to it.
In line with what a few other people here have said, I should mention that where I am (Austin, TX, USA), I literally just came from the grocery store before reading this, and everything seemed to be in stock. I'm not saying there were zero issues, but nothing we were looking for, and certainly no bare shelves. Maybe it's more weather-related? We certainly have no shortage of Omicron in Texas, but the grocery stores (and the supply chains that provide them) seem to be doing fine.
Does anyone else use these kind of trailers like you do?

Or just to ignore it.
> but there are many strong indications that it did.

Nope, there really aren't. We're now finding more and more naturally-evolved viruses in cave-dwelling bats that share plenty of features with SARS-CoV2, including the 'weird' features everyone was talking about at the beginning of the pandemic. All it really takes is to go and look for them. Occam's razor says this virus too is just one of many.
Even better, there's zero accountability for himself or any of the 50 republican senators who passed on cosigning Ossoff's bill when this also goes nowhere. It's nice not being in power!
How to make several people use the same PC at the same time
It might be because software lives and dies on the precision of language.
They are valid if escaped, as explicitly noted in the Section 7 of RFC 7159 [1]. (Annoyingly enough it doesn't explicitly say JSON strings are Unicode strings, it just says that a certain subset of JSON strings is interoperable with Unicode.) GP means that the escaped null byte can still cause issues for C interoperability.

I think they’re just pointing out that there could be unintended consequences to just simply barring Congress members from trading - maybe it just increases incentives for back room deals and the like? Transparency in this case is a much higher bar than just banning stock trades
The two are related. NSA's PRISM[1] program that Snowden uncovered relied on data collected by the big surveillance capitalism companies:

"The documents identified several technology companies as participants in the PRISM program, including Microsoft in 2007, Yahoo! in 2008, Google in 2009, Facebook in 2009, Paltalk in 2009, YouTube in 2010, AOL in 2011, Skype in 2011 and Apple in 2012."[2]

Yes, this is different than bringing other Battle Royale like games to court. It clearly is a rip off. And Google and Apple clearly benefited from it.

And this is interesting because Apple likes to compare it's App Store and Games Distribution to console. ( To the point they included PS5 and Xbox as direct competitor in their recent quarterly report ) Which is only true on the surface, but in reality console maker have much stricter guidelines in releasing games where something like this wouldn't have happened.
Yeah but Fortnite wasn't copying the design of entire maps.

At the very least some basic things like collation and normalization should be part of the String class. I think character counting would also be a useful thing (and given the ASCII-art formatting of error messages in rust, it's presumably part of the compiler's code already although there are plenty of bits of compiler code that aren't exposed through stdlib like the ability to take a string like \u{e0) and convert that to á.

California mostly seems to be doing OK on its supplies. I have noticed that fresh milk in single-serving quantities(which I'll pick up on walks) has basically disappeared though.
I don't mind having option of purely symbolic computation but by default I don't want them.

Instead od Pi I'd prefer to have Pi(3) equal exactly 3.14, or Pi(2) equal exactly 3.1 and so on.

Since numbers would be kept as smallest numerator, denominator pair comparison would be just compaing those.
I use DVC to store periodic snapshots of raw notebooks, and export them to .py files to be tracked by plain git.

They are still kind of a mess because I use them as scratch space. Anything worthwhile gets polished and put into a package manually.

Apple's profit margin on the App Store was ~80% in 2019[1]. In a healthy market, competition would lead to increased efficiencies and more savings for consumers that would cut into those margins. Instead the market has stagnated because competition was forbidden, and one company profits handsomely from it.

Use Algo!!! Extremely easy to set up with dummy-proof instructions.
Fastmail has another plus (which no other provider has) its mail client lets you send mail from your random unique email addrso on your domain on the fly.

So while catch-all solves the problem of receiving emails on random email addresses on your domain it gets tricky when you have send emails from those addresses. (Apple mail client allows you to do this in a convoluted way - you have to add the email in advance and if you forgot it’ll be sent from another email)

If it helps to judge the situation better: I tried to find the minimal changes to the colors that don't trigger me and they are so close that most colleagues did not even notice a difference, especially as they don't care about colors at all, they just want to not deal with the topic. I am not a designer and not saying the colors are great, this is just to illustrate how little change i would be happy with. Also having to deal with triggering colors in designs happened only the second time in 15 years so its not like this is happening all the time.

feel free to compare:
green:
#00FF96 (i hate, looks to me like a mixture of soulless startup color, poison and dentist) -> #33FF8C (acceptable)

blue
#3200FF (i hate, gives me the feeling of not being able to focus my eyes and being a generic placeholder color, soulless) -> #0B06FF (acceptable)
I have been in two lawsuits related to my startups. Your legal options depend on the country the company is operating in and the home of the person you are dealing with. You can't serve them papers without knowing their identity. Not knowing their citizenship adds additional flight risk.

A court can garnish wages and send someone to jail. Most lawsuits end in reconciliation before it goes to court because of the potential costs. Both of mine did.

This is why investors prefer to deal with American C corps above all else. This is also why foreign investors want to deal with a Hong Kong subsidiaries with Mainland Chinese companies.
This is so ridiculous and shameful to the idea of a free press/media in the US.

Why single out Rogan? MSNBC, CNN, Fox News and so many other media outlets have tons of talk/entertainment shows that misinform the public on so many matters, but no muzzle or warning of misinformation is being labelled on them.

"Misinformation" seems to be the new "Red Scare" of our day. Instead of people actually wanting to argue and debate the points of an individual with a platform, they rather just say that's misinformation to try and shut them down.

I understand people are exacerbated in discussing certain points over and over again, but you sort of have to and it's the responsibility of these scientists to go on those shows to argue and discredit this so called "misinformation" with a coherent argument and point.
Clearly they are not.
