Nah, there's no way to get away with that here. This is a highly regulated industry and IT has everything locked down tighter than a drum. Running a non-approved OS on a company machine is probably a fireable offense. I'm not even sure if you'd get a warning first.
I've been making releases at least every week for linux, and at least every two weeks for windows.
Yeah like crypto or not, why would you be paid instantly for doing nothing ? $3k is a month or more of work for most people, did that person really believe the world lied to him and instead of working a month, he could "double" it immediately ?
The large study from Bangladesh last year[0] which was widely trumpeted with headlines like "Large Study Confirms Masks Work to Limit COVID-19 Spread"[1], averred that, "Villages where cloth masks were distributed experienced a 9 percent reduction in symptoms, while villages where surgical masks were distributed saw a reduction of 12 percent."

Stanford Medicine's assessment[2] states that, "Although there were also fewer COVID-19 cases in villages with cloth masks as compared to control villages, the difference was not statistically significant."

Yep. Seen this on crbug.com
Apple messed up its Alt-Tab implementation with one simple blunder: It doesn't restore minimized apps. I tab TO an application, but when I'm done I minimize it out of the way. But then you can't Command-Tab back to it, because Apple keeps it uselessly minimized.
Send me your coins and I'll double them.
Yeah I see just as many complaints about unfair takedowns. At their scale, I think it’s a little more complex than people want to admit.
They are different. And sending a FAX is not sending postal mail. And sending email is not sending a FAX.

Sending money as quickly as sending email is not the same as putting paper checks in envelopes in the postal system. Like free speech, bitcoin can't be censored if you hold your own keys. For some people, PayPal censorship and freezing accounts still works okay for them.
RetroArch, a test VNC server, Space Cadet Pinball. Pretty much if it uses SDL2, it can be compiled and run.
I must thank RobRich999 for the loop optimizations.
I would expect at least one of those cases to be identical to "how much space this will take if I copy it to other filesystem" if you're asking a generic question where the target is a hypothetical and therefore you have to say how many bytes would be taken by the raw files since everything else requires knowing specific details about the target.
I was surprised at how few spelling errors the scam had until I got to the transaction hashes and wallet addresses.
YouTube could at least make it harder for scammers by not promoting streams through the algorithm or at least not showing them unless there's a subscription. I would also argue that they shouldn't just give everybody the ability to livestream at first given how many of the scammer accounts are new. That strikes me as a common sense solution.

If both were implemented I suspect these sorts of scams would no longer be worth the effort.
It's because it's obvious: they are "double your bitcoin" scams: you send them, they double it back. It's as old as digital currency transfer, themselves much older than bitcoin. I remember doing that in Eve Online.
The Symbolics Space Cadet keyboard had dedicated paren keys:

For some reason, I find that amusing.
Not as a language feature. You can setup your code in a way that will cause LLVM to emit identical output as if you did have computed gotos, but there's no guarantee as to it.

imo I've never been satisfied that the Eastern Roman Empire was sufficiently Roman to actually qualify. Everything I've read and consumed makes me think the Byzantines were as Romans as Romans were Greek, that is to say, they liked to think they were (and possibly claim they were for political reasons).

Byzantines spoke Greek, their architecture was not Roman, their military did not behave like Romans, they were Christian, they didn't eat Roman food; if you line up the Roman Republic, or even early Roman Empire, next to the Byzantines and asked an alien whether or not they were the same, they'd say no.

They definitely called themselves Romans, they loved to "re-conquer" their old empire in the West etc, but from my perspective there is little to tie the two together as "Roman".
Yes, Alt-Tab is a HUGE improvement over Apple's implementation because it not only restores minimized apps as it should, but can also create a window for a running app that lacks one (with Finder being a critical example).
It's still a fringe treatment, but Baclofen turned off my alcohol cravings like a light switch.

My understanding is that it is effectively impossible to reverse a wire transfer (except when your bank screws up, such as sending the wrong amount, in which case they will reimburse you). You will be told to go to the police.

I'm also not aware of any bank that will allow some random person to call them up and freeze an account, even if they just wired money to that account.
Except that's exactly what some popular staking/liquidity pools promise, just in slightly more time.
Sure, if you stop you're going to struggle against withdrawal symptoms. As far as nicotine goes, the good news is that if you can stop for a week, the temptation dramatically decreases. If you can stop for two weeks, the residual nicotine has completely left the body and you shouldn't be feeling withdrawal symptoms. If you can be disciplined for just two weeks, you can kick the habit.
When force is not the solution to a problem, it just means you didn't apply enough of it!
On Linux, it has basically always worked that way. However, there are essentially two¹ different clipboards. Of course some applications could do things differently, but usually they will use what you think of as the clipboard for keyboard shortcuts like control–c and control–v, while selecting things with the mouse uses a separate system².

There are some interesting differences between them as well. When using the clipboard your application sends whatever you copied to the clipboard and pasting copies it out of the clipboard. With selection, however, the application merely announces that the user has selected something in that application. When you middle–click to paste, the application you pasted into must send a message to whichever application was most recently used to select something (relayed via the X server), and the reply contains the selected data.

https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/specs/ICCCM...

¹ Actually, there are three³. CLIPBOARD for control–c/v, PRIMARY for selecting with the mouse, and SECONDARY for selecting with the mouse while holding down alt.

² But of course these two systems are implemented using the same messages to and from the X server. They simply have different conventions for how they are used.

³ Actually, there are as many as you care to implement. These three are simply conventional; applications are free to use other names to identify other communication channels.

> Correction, all of mobile users use Safari on iOS today. Webkit is your only option

When browser stats show X amount of people using Mobile Safari, those people are using Mobile Safari. Not a different web browser using WebKit.

> everything else is just the same browser with a new interface added to it.

There is more to a web browser than just its rendering engine. Chrome wasn’t “just Safari” up until they forked Blink. It used WebKit, sure, but it also had loads of development put in elsewhere.

Saying that an alternative web browser is “just Safari” because it uses WebKit is like the Hacker News cliché “I could do that in a weekend”. Sure, you might be able to knock out a proof of concept easily, but you are vastly underestimating the amount of work involved in the real product.
The RAND report "Mapping the Risks" (2004) [1] finds that only 6% of sampled US federal GIS datasets were useful to an adversary wanting to attack US infrastructure. The datasets sampled were quite varied and included the obvious power, natural gas, etc infrastructure but also included less obvious datasets such as the location of hazardous chemicals. The report found that none of the GIS information provided to the public they sampled would be useful for adversaries, primarily because the information was readily available via other means that an adversary would prefer to use instead (e.g. [2] for how this was done in the cold war prior to satellite imagery becoming commonplace). The report also characterises the main barrier to a terrorist attack on infrastructure not being a lack of knowing where to attack, but rather, having the means to perform an attack that would have any significant effect. Knocking out a few power pylons here or there would be more of an inconvenience that could be quickly recovered from. By comparison, destroying the only factory in the world with machinery capable of producing a critical consumable component needed for power stations would be a more valuable target if it would take 5 years to recover supply of the component.

From a military point of view, the scorched earth tactic[3] of destroying infrastructure to disrupt an enemy force is out of favour because it also denies the victor from quickly rebuilding and stabilising a country[4]. Instead of blowing up power stations that could take a decade to rebuild, modern military forces would rather destroy a substation on a military base, such that the military base is rendered temporarily less useful. Due to the minor effect caused, within 12 months, the substation could be rebuilt and the the base repurposed for a new military force established by the victor. Invading military forces are not going to have difficulty identifying critical infrastructure used for military purposes which they should target, particularly because of the prevalence of satellite imagery.

Ofc there are ! There are 3 know authorities that sometimes intervenes that we must regulate and centralise more:

- Tether, which is reasonable enough to block transaction of known stolen USDT

- Exchanges who can reverse transactions if they havent left the exchange and are very monitored these days

- Miners, who can fork or reject an address if needed, something they dont all do because they're themselves not exactly loved by the country they suck energy out of

We need to switch away from decentralized currencies and move to a model of monitored USDT: that would allow the public to access every transaction of every actor, with the ability to block publicly criminals.

Weirdly crypto opponent focus a lot on decentralization but I don't think it matters as much as they think, while crime prevention is clearly more needed if people fall for "double your bitcoin" scams.
People like to fantasize about how things would’ve been better if the industry was dominated by X language.

Every discussion about race seems to include a statement that “race” isn’t a scientific term and has no well-defined meaning. Race seems to be one group saying “those other people are different from us, and we don’t mingle with them.” I don’t consider it surprising for genetics researchers to compare distinct populations that have a long history of staying separate. I certainly don’t believe it’s evidence that the researchers think it’s right for the groups to stay separate; I assume they’re simply interested in the outcome of staying separate.

I’m not even sure that the researchers assume any differences are caused by genetics. I think that’s an important part of the research: what differences exist? what are the causes? can we show some are genetic? can we show some definitely aren’t genetic? what are the outcomes?

The case against MS was abusive licensing practices. MS blocked OEMs from choosing their own default browser, and charged OEMs a license fee even if the computers weren't running Windows. That doesn't apply to Apple which does not license their OS.

Android and ChromeOS both technically allow other browser engines, but in practice non-Chromium browsers are a rounding error on those platforms. You can technically allow other browser engines, but that does not create a robust browser market.
Some of us spent half or more of our lives without cellphones. It's not hard if you plan ahead, buy a map if you're going somewhere new, maybe throw on a watch if you really need to know what time it is. I'm not going to do it, but at worst it's a minor inconvenience.
What's the overhead of storing function pointers in a Rust array and calling it by index?
Having a phone with you that you keep turned off most of the time would be a good way to learn what sort of things you really need it for. Obviously you wouldn't be able to receive incoming calls, but how much do you use your phone to browse the web, or as a map? If you can time-shift those desires (until you are at a computer) or satisfy them with other devices, then you'll be able to go longer and longer without turning the phone on, but still have it for emergencies.

Personally I'd settle for a phone which doesn't connect to the mobile network unless I'm dialling out, or only connects when I'm in certain locations at certain times. Perhaps using a VoIP service and automatically connecting to specific trusted Wi-Fi networks would suffice for that use case, however I've often wondered if it would be possible for a mobile network provider to also operate an FM radio station, which would broadcast a pre-agreed code specific to one of their users whenever that user had an incoming call. I don't know how much battery it would drain for a phone to be constantly scanning FM radio data, though.
I expect I'll get infected eventually. I'd prefer not to get infected at a point when the system is (about to be) overloaded.

Omicron can't be meaningfully stopped, but it can be rate limited.
I am trying to find more information such as how they obtain the livestream views or how they hack the twitter accounts. Hundreds of articles have been written about this but no insight as to where the livestream views come from. Are the livestream from proxies or some sort of browser hijack.

Also, almost everyone by now is aware of the scam given all the news coverage it over the past few years, so I don't see the need to repeat myself again.

The corruption isn't about hurting or helping Tesla.

It's about Musk using his personal power and influence over Tesla to deter (the employees of) regulatory agencies from investigating him like any other citizen.
I had the choice of a M1 or a Thinkpad (which is what I've been using for the past decade). It was a very difficult decision - everything I hear about the M1 is incredible. I ended up getting a thinkpad because I really don't like macOS. But I don't know if I'll make that same decision in a couple years.
I hate the mac my work makes me use, but this makes it a bit less painful. Thank you.

Safari is a privacy focused browser. Privacy focused browsers have security vulnerabilities too.
To put those in context, what the study did was promote masks across a bunch of villages. Some people across all arms of the study were already wearing masks of various sorts, so the data should be read as the combined effect of: the promotion changing behavior, people starting to use masks or replacing their existing ones, and then the net effect on transmission. So the % effectiveness quoted is the effectiveness of the new masks relative to whatever people were already doing watered down by how much putting up posters etc actually changes human behavior. Pretty remarkable actually.
They probably did. It's because they've heard of other people getting rich off of crypto. The classic get rich quick swindle. Ponzi schemes and all sorts of other marketing schemes are also similar.
'it's miners vs everyone else.'

That's what the big blockers thought, and they got their own BCH network to show for it. I can't find any adoption metrics to show that the miner-controlled BCH chain has won.

On BTC, miners just run the code and get rewarded to do that simpleton job.

They aren’t “near crashes” and a majority of the incidents are with other starlink satellites which means the obvious: this must be by design and approved by engineers and regulators to be within acceptable safety margins.

There is a definition of something that when things come within a kilometer it meets a standard definition, but that standard is perhaps outdated and being inflated for FUD reasons by people with an axe to grind or who want to sell attention.

It would be great to get a regulator to comment on this instead of edgy authors or the Chinese trying to score points.

First off, totally a clickbait title as well as opening sentence. But once you read the article...

That said, everyone uses to do lists. One doesn't have to explicitly write it down or use some app to manage it, sometimes it's in your head. "Oh yea, I need to get bread. I'll add bread to the cart" or "I will take exit 358 to get to my destination" and so on.

It's a thing we all do. Just not everyone writes it down.
