Easy: imagine one of the poor sobs decides to withdraw, hop a bit of creative accounting and your money is borrowed to pay for the withdrawal.

It s not each of the user individually seeing their balance go down, it s the company lying even more about its ability to liquidate all accounts.

Your number on their html page they graciously present to you will go unchanged. It s not a new phenomenon, every bank does it, except crypto.com does it to pay losses for a theft while banks would do it to lend to a baker buying a bakery on mortgage. If said baker screws up and cant repay, and many more others as well, clients cant all withdraw the pretty number.

Another interesting difference is that a bank pays you for lending to them with your savings account, at market rate (very low these days), while I dont think crypto ponzis do because you re suppose to just wait and moon.

> I have yet to see a better alternative.

I find the notion of allowing an organization with zero reputation to censor a peer reviewed medical journal that has been continuously published since 1840 to be particularly ridiculous.
It is, but it's also a false equivalency to say that kind of language has reached the mainstream of the American left.

Whereas the mainstream of the American right saw Trumpism (anti-democracy, anti-immigrant, etc.) wholly adopted.
Yeah but the chrome plugin still works at full functionality.
Very cool, but I have a question.

> This is done using WebGL, an API for drawing 3D graphics in a browser. You might think it's only designed to draw ordinary, Euclidean things, but it turns out it's perfectly suited to rendering this world as well. WebGL (and OpenGL) works with four-dimensional coordinates (x,y,z,w). Normally, you'll be advised to just set that w coordinate to 1 all the time. If you do that, the x, y and z coordinates will behave like ordinary 3-D geometry. I just ignored that rule and used the coordinates to represent points on the 3-sphere instead. It all works out. (You have to be a bit careful if you want to put textures on things without seeing seams between the triangles, but it can be done. The key is to make sure every flat surface is still a flat surface in 4-D.)

Are the 4D coordinates treated as ratios, so that (w,x,y,z) = (tw, tx, ty, tz)? Because then that would express RP^3 instead of S^3, i.e. projective 3-space, instead of the 3-sphere. Equivalently, this produces a model of 3D elliptic geometry, instead of 3D spherical geometry. My doubts are because 3D computer graphics is known to use homogeneous coordinates, which results in a model of projective 3-space or elliptic 3-space.

S^3 can be coordinatised using elements of R^4 of unit length, which might have been done here.

Not disagreeing, but that's a much nicer way of saying that nobody wanted to mate with the ones having constant diarrhea.
As of now it is pretty basic. One main router connected to ISP and then, recently running a cable to the ground floor to extend wifi using another router in AP mode(older one). Before having this cable the extension used to be via a wall plug AP that extends via Wifi.

- Main router: D-Link DIR-1960 with openwrt

- 2nd router: Asus RT-AC51U (old router)

- Wifi AP: Netgear EX-6120

The right solution short-term for CYA reasons is probably to get this replaced by a real engineer on a time and materials contract from an IT consulting company. That doesn't mean replacing this employee, though. If I was the boss at this company and found this out, I'd make that person in charge of selecting the vendor, specifying the features, accepting delivery of the work, and then monitoring and troubleshooting any malfunctions.

More scope managing the rest of the office IT could be introduced to the position. They're not wasting money on getting things running smoother. That's clearly worthwhile to them. They're wasting time not making better use of the employee's time for which they're paid.
Is that true? Are there metrics of how many attacks are completed on an SMB that does and does not have crypto? And how is it known that those with crypto are suddenly easier targets than those without it?

Edit: For the downvotes, if this is such an obvious question then be proactive and share the metrics - I'm skeptical this is the case but happy to be proved wrong.
Not to be confused with GopherJS, the Go->Javascript compiler https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs
This is what I did (after brief stint with Spacemacs), only what I did is gradually break apart doom-emacs from inside it, as in remove abstractions and stuff I didn't use until it was a plain (single file) emacs config, then went the other direction with modularisation.

This was very educative and I learned a lot about Emacs and Elisp.

The irony is after all of this I'm back to Vim and I don't feel like going back to Emacs (yet).
How can flavor possibly considered an objective metric?
I don't agree with your definition, often people affected by addiction will desperately seek help. Unfortunately, many fall into relapse cycles and it's a long and hard process to recovery.

I think a good solution would be making quality non-forced resources available for free. For example, rehab, therapy, or jobs specifically created for those seeking to overcome their addiction. Ideally these programs could pay for themselves in net returns for society as a whole.
I don't think so, though I'm not positive. The cases I see in the news usually involve some extra piece of wrong doing (being under the influence, almost exclusively).
They have a non-standard source license. I doubt the legal would be excited engineering team to adopt some of these in the codebase.

I have seen many people use such comparisions, which do not match up, to justify unhealthy behavior for themselves, shutting themselves out from proper reasoning. That is how it is relevant. I am saying: Do not fool yourself using such arguments.

Also the comparison you now brought up is again not a good argument: It doesn't matter, whether there are unnecessary rides. The argument is, that there are mandatory ones for people, while there is no mandatory thing that forces you to drink alcohol. Or at least there should not be and in reality there are probably very few.
I have a theory that you could build an entirely fake blockchain ecosystem and people would still use it. Just use all normal “web 2” technology to simulate the same dynamics and people would still play the game to try and win money.

In other words, the energy we see in crypto has nothing to do with the actual technical capabilities. It’s people enjoying playing an emergent game produced by the particular crypto low level mechanics.

It may continue to go on for a long time just the same as any game or gambling web site stays popular.
I agree with you. I'm sure that meditation, psychotherapy, contemplative prayer, possibly even drug use, whatever, have benefits. I'm just also sure that it takes quite a bit of dedication, introspection, and time to get there.

As an aside, isn't "you get what you work for" quite literally the opposite of Calvinism? At least, it seems to go against every element of TULIP?
> Then there's of course the question of dealing with scripts that have multiple languages spoken in them. Something would surely be lost if multiple languages were dubbed into the same third language.

I've sometimes thought that languages could be indicated by phonetic rendering of an accent (an audio version of this was done on the excellent and clever show 'Allo 'Allo where dialog in 'French' is English with a French accent, dialog in English is RP, British characters badly speaking 'French' use RP with funny word substitutions, and so on), similar to how comics often indicate other languages in word balloons with conventions such as <angle brackets> or italicization, but that's probably too high a bar.
While I haven't seen any actual data, I suspect tax dodging is also a significant motivator in the NFT market (just like the market for physical art assets)
Not at all. We had this article a while back which will hopefully nip this topic in the bud. https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-t...
Specifically, the video about spherical geometry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY9GAyJtuJ0
Hyperbolica is mostly about the opposite, a hyperbolic universe, but there may be some section to the game that will be in a spherical universe. There's definitely some devlog video set in a spherical universe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY9GAyJtuJ0 The end of the video suggests this will be in the final game, at least as the time that video's creation.

In the meantime, the video I link is basically a video exploration of spherical geometry. One of the better ones, in my opinion, because it has "normal" objects in it, rather than floating heads or a ton of Earths or something.

(Another amusing sidebar: As you can see in the video above, an inhabitant of that space would be naturally inclined to say the space curves in above them. It would take an Einstein to assert that it's actually flat, and Spherical Einstein would have a very hard time describing "flat" to anyone. You can only make things "flat" contingent on the observer being in a very particular place. If you look at the next devlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXWRYpdYc7Q back in Hyperbolic space, you can also see that a resident of that space would naturally believe the space they are in is a sphere (albeit one of variable radius, which is weird, but still, you can look out in the world and see the curvature, obviously it's round), and it would again take an Einstein to say that it is flat. It's flat if you are exactly on the ground, but hyperbolic space exaggerates any degree to which you are above the ground to make the horizon look round.)
Wouldn't this in effect give a parent with multiple children multiple votes.

Mail in voting means you'd just fill out the ballots for your kids.

I think voting should remain at 18. Although I have some ideas on making more concerns local. Why does most of my tax dollars go to the federal government rather than the state.

At the State level at least I have a remote chance of being heard. And if I don't like what my state is doing, I can drive 50 miles to another.

>> Social media fact checking isn't some kind of hard block that can suppress any idea from being seen by anyone (in fact, this case it was little more than a caution sign), and IMHO it's probably better for the truth if it has to pass some hurdles and gets slowed down a bit, just as long as those hurdles increase the single-to-noise ratio

> Except it just did: discussion on the origins of Covid was almost completely shut down for well over a year

So? The idea made it out, though it's far from proven. In any case social media chatter and speculation about the idea like that has little value.

And this is something I'm totally fine with. I think it's totally in the service of truth to let an idea cook, before it's blasted to the public over social media at a loud volume.
My thought is that it’s not really 2FA, and 2FA means temporary tokens, and there’s a method to gain entry with just login+token, e.g. via password reset.
The assumption that these variations are mistakes is the incorrect one.

There is even research showing the variations in timing follow large macro cycles.

None of this is random or mistakes when we are talking about high level players.

Some is deliberate. Some is totally unconscious.

But not mistakes.
It has been done. Search for the Apollo 68080 for example.

This is an interesting thought experiment for my uneducated brain. How much of your body is actually "weightless" in this situation? Or is it just a trick of the mind? Surely gravity would still affect parts of your body? What difference does fully submerged vs. floating have on this effect?

we don’t know if CDC funding is VC
Sorry, call me a skeptic, but keep in mind that academia's incentive is knowledge creation, not products - investors will most likely see no returns, this is why it is publicly funded, to escape the ulterior motives of industry. Look at privately funded research for proof: sugar vs. fat, Monsanto papers, tobacco, etc.

No peer review?
Science is not as easy to break in as with coding, becoming an expert is much harder than just a bootcamp or a kid who programmed from a young age. The hubris and duplicity of the rich: Theranos...

Scientific research has never been an easy endeavor: to dedicate oneself for the sheer desire to further human knowledge and benefit the common good.

Unless Silicon Valley is really willing to sacrifice for the public good without expectation for returns, and not pretend to care with the "change the world" mantra while lining their pockets, this effort might just be another marketing stunt. Hint: crypto investors gives you an incentives preview

Will appreciate hearing from insiders. A scientist is always healthily skeptical.
There is definitely a silent majority of people who love pineapple on their pizza. My local pizza guy tells me Hawaiian is one of his top selling pizzas.

I think the idea of this thing is that it doesn't degrade over time the way something like paper or a more reactive metal will.

It can be scratched but that's easily prevented: put it in a plastic sleeve.
There are lots of ways to consume weed that don’t have those drawbacks. There’s a dispensary around the block from me, and even though I don’t use it, I went in to look around to see what our new neighborhood shop looked like. They had a wide selection of edible candies, vape pens, and even drinks. It looks like it’d be very easy to get a consistent dose without burning anything. I know how much alcohol I can drink to get a pleasant effect without getting drunk, and I’m supposing I could do the same for weed if I wanted. (Or maybe not: it looks like the effects greatly vary based on strain, or how much CBD you take with it, etc. The “how much should I take to relax?” formula looks quite a bit more complicated.)
A friend whom has since passed at their choice was in the system since birth. Computers and online friends was all he had even as an adult at 21. Most of it through FPS PC games with large battlegrounds and player communities. His high school kicked him out after enough times reformatting the school laptop so he could do what he wanted. No one to advocate for him. No chance any uni would accept him, and too far away from a community college. Plus this is when everything was mostly still pencil paper. He was a good man in the wrong place with the wrong support, and I miss him.
There's no doubt that alcohol in excess is very bad for a person.

There's enough doubt about whether light-moderate alcohol consumption (i.e. a small glass of red wine with dinner and two or three once in a while with friends) is harmful or protective that it seems pretty clear that, whether the net effect is positive or negative, it's not terribly strong.

We get really hung up on whether something is "good for you" or "bad for you", without focusing as much as we should on exactly how bad it is: we just want to sort things into either the "good" bucket or the "bad" bucket and feel the corresponding dose of pride or guilt.
they are already making a huge amount from spread etc.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll check them out.

I recently read

- The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom

- The Man Who Loved Only Numbers (Paul Erdős)

The Dirac book is by a physicist, as opposed to a professional biographer. I very much enjoyed it. Dirac crossed paths and interacted with all of the great quantum physicists in the 20th century. He and his work never captured the public imagination in the same way Einstein did, nor did his personality and propensity for teaching resonate like Feynman or Sagan. (Feynman was, of course, an exceedingly brilliant physicist, but I think he was known more by the public for his personality than his QED). But he had a lot of ideas that were ahead of his time, and he was driven by the notion of mathematical beauty. Hell, the Dirac equation was a work of inspired genius that seemed to come from the annals of his mind alone.

Similar to Einstein, his work got away from him, and later in life he was resistant to the beast he helped create (quantum field theory).

Erdős was a prolific, unparalleled genius in number theory, as well as a wandering academic. He was quite inept at self-care, and found shelter based on the hospitality of his friends and colleagues. He never held a permanent position, spending his time trotting the globe to collaborate with interesting folks. I came away from the book feeling quite melancholy about the man and his life. But he seemed to have followed his passion in a way few do. On the other hand, he would likely pity me, the mathematician-turned-physicist-turned-industrial-researcher.
I wouldn’t underestimate the importance of marketing, especially marketing yourself. If your goal is to network with Western engineers, the best way to do it is via a blog/video/etc.

Even a one minute video twice a week is enough to build an audience, especially on a platform like TikTok.
Are you referring to the popup created by the autofill service that is integrated in Android (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/autofill)? In that case you can activate the inline autofill functionality (assuming that your keyboard supports that) so that no popup will show up.
I had a doctor tell me it was probably preferable to have a beer after work to unwind than try to quit. I dunno, I think it's very dose and situation dependent. There are social aspects to drinking in our culture and being social has health benefits.
> From what I gather(ed) the root problem was the lack of winterization to [all] energy infrastructure.

This is mostly the case. The primary issue wasn't that generation infrastructure wasn't weatherized, it's that wind turbines were not properly weatherized and failed, and the NG peaker infrastructure /was/ weatherized and took over, but was having issues meeting demands because the NG well infrastructure was not weatherized, meaning the peaker plants couldn't draw enough gas to meet demands.

Another major confounding factor during the snowstorm was that grid didn't have enough high voltage pathways to support the amount of power that had to be shifted between generation locations and the generation locations were too spread out regionally (Texas is a large and mostly empty state) to maintain grid stability, so there was forced load shedding to prevent phase shifting out of spec or grid islanding.

Also, while we're at it, it's bullshit when people say that "Republicans deregulated power in Texas, which is why it has an independent grid." Texas has ALWAYS had an independent grid. When the national grid started forming in response to New Deal legislation in 1935 states could avoid being affected by federal regulations by not transmitting power across state lines, so Texas chose to not connect its existing grid to the national grid as it was forming. Originally Texas had two independent grids, but they joined during that time, choosing to remain disconnected from the national grid but sharing with each other. ERCOT was actually formed to begin internal regulations of power in Texas in response to a huge national power disaster in 1965 that didn't affect Texas, but made the state realize it needed /some/ regulation.

I don't make any judgements as to whether this situation is better or worse, and it was certainly politically motivated, but it's not new and it's not recent, so most of the things written about it are simply untrue.
If you have coax wired through the house, I strongly recommend MoCa instead of powerline Ethernet. It works very well and doesn’t turn your house into a shortwave radio noise generator.

I was being approximate, but here is the more nuanced explanation:

"This study found an average of 93,296 alcohol-attributable deaths (255 deaths per day) and 2.7 million YPLL (29 years of life lost per death, on average) in the United States each year."

Whereas smoking reduces life expectancy by "only" ~12 years.

In the sense that alcohol beverages sit on your tongue and most have a designed flavor, of which there are many varieties to enjoy. But I suppose you're right, marijuana smoke does have a flavor, and you may prefer that to any alcoholic beverage.

But granting that it's not objective, it still something one could point to (and I would) as a reason for preferring alcoholic drinks.
