As I stated in another comment, the study at hand was not about activity at CBRs 1 or 2. Plus when endogenous transmitters are concerned, these only stay in the local synapse. A pharmacological treatment has greater tissue distribution. If we want to effect cells that are exposed to a pathogen we need compounds that act at those cells

We also don't know the mechanism of CBD preventing infection, this is only a preliminary study which shows that CBD has some effect through some mechanism. CBD's receptor profile has not been fully characterized afaik

You seem to be jumping to an awful lot of conclusions
I would imagine that OPs could be thinking of the recent story (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59990477) about North Korean stealing $400m of crypto.

It seems reasonable to suggest that groups who want to avoid scrutiny by various authorities would make use of a system which isn't covered well by standard regulators who are under the control of those authorities.

Additionally there are a number of crypto currencies who provide anonymous transactions (e.g. Monero) which is obviously going to attract people who want to move money covertly.

Terrorists would be one example of such groups of people.
I would love to read this kind of article along with all the drawings and pictures of a similar kit for the NES, from the 1980's

A lot of those early programmers knew electronics they just built their own stuff. Crazy compared to your average developer now. A lot of guys had to build their own terminals/keyboard etc back then (especially the 70's computer clubs). At some point the hardware and software kind of split up (lucky for us that didn't have any real hardware knowledge)

IDK either. It's like we have meta-platforms, or platform adapters. Platforms inside platforms.
That feels like a false excuse a manufacturer might make, as it seems plausible enough, but doesn't really hold up to deeper scrutiny. Even wifi chips that have closed firmware usually have a region setting, and there's nothing stopping you from selecting a region that includes frequencies that aren't allowed in your actual region.

Sure, that's not quite the same as allowing completely arbitrary frequencies, but that feels like a distinction that wouldn't matter much when it comes to government regulations.
I appreciate this reply. I often see nerds on the internet decry things without understanding the needs or motivations of people not like them, especially on topics that really bother nerds. Thanks for pushing hard to do that personally. It’s inspiring me to try to do it more too.
Microsoft also used to have a history of maintaining bug compatibility with applications, including use of undocumented data structures and functions. I've read the stories: once they tried to change some data structure only to revert the change when some proprietary software broke because it did insane things like put data into unused bits of some internal data structure.

At some point all this must have been lost because I don't see Microsoft going out of its way to fix memory allocation bugs in games for our benefit anymore. I did try playing the game on Wine and it worked, ironically. Wouldn't be surprised if it eventually became the best way to run older Windows software.

The ABI compatibility situation of Linux user space sucks. Apparently the kernel itself can run binaries from the 90s with no problem. The more dependencies you have, the worse the situation gets because in the free software world people seem to make it a point to avoid caring about binary compatibility since everyone is supposed to have the source code to everything in order to recompile software as needed. Because of this I've personally resolved to eliminate all dependencies in my own code by using Linux system calls directly.
Not a self-venture but my old team built desktop applications for the pricing department at a very large airline. They did everything from recommending price changes to loading ad hoc adjustments and keeping track of pricing strategies. All in JavaFX. That team split and is making most of them web-based now but the desktop apps still thrive in the meantime.
They are extremely anti-renewable energy though. There was attempt (not sure if it passed) to make wind turbines illegal.
Anyone else get the vibe that they paid for this article. It's worded very weasely.

"As they enter a new era of innovation and want everyone to enjoy the full suite of Moosend’s features, they will update their pricing plans."

Who talks like that? Its either someone who isn't a native speaker (then hey, good job for learning another language) or marketing doublespeak.

I mean, why couldn’t you have some version of pager duty for people who are (apparently) on the clock and in the critical path of support calls?

Remember years ago MSN Messenger had that buzz feature that would let you shake the conversation window for your contact? You could recreate something similar by eg force-enabling Slack alerts for specific keywords.
I'm very excited to see more people are jumping into this vision.

I commented about this a few times here in Hacker News [1] [2]. I believe WebAssembly/Wasmer will become the new Docker (fun fact: the name Wasmer comes from Wasm + Docker) and there is a greater opportunity for it to become the base for the future Kubernetes for the Edge.

Excited for what's to come!

The CPU already offers a non-portable runtime with very few capabilities exposed. Then we exposed the capabilities and didn't provide a way to unexpose them. That was the mistake.

No, I am not arguing that. I am arguing that the system allows for it to happen a non-zero amount of the time.

And as a consequence of that possibility, the fear of it happened is a reasonably motivating factor in parent behavior.

Which isn't something we can (or should) probably fix. But is something that is.
I think that's true.
Perfect is the enemy of good. Sure there is, though the most popular alternative (Gitlab, from where I'm seated) IPO'd recently, and we know the effect that tends to have. Our national governments are already pretty comfortable with Microsoft products.

Do you know any other git hosts that have persistently proven themselves trustworthy and have superior financial incentives? Otherwise it might be better to focus on the meat of this post

Finns and Germans definitely were not allies in 1939-1940: Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was in force, and when Soviets attacked Finland, Germany acted on its part and blockaded the Baltic Sea so that any aid from Western allies to Finland would have had to come through Sweden and/or Norway. That was a no-go.

I suspect you are trolling.
My guess: It's a reflection of the sun. Notice that when it moves off the west coast and over the ocean, it turns into a large specular reflection.
There's also the state v. federal political issue of the interstate commerce clause. Some municipalities in the pretty far past have tried to restrict people moving there by creating onerous registration barriers that were then struck down by the feds. They're allowed some leeway there, but there's a limit that they don't want to push and the feds are more than happy to enforce their power.

My state (CO) semi recently hit a morph of this concern because they had "pioneer" license plates that cost an extra $100 or so and were only available to people who could prove N generations of ancestry in CO. The feds struck that down as .gov services provided being dependent on state origin and therefore against the interstate commerce clause.

"what do you suggest happened 30-40 years ago that triggered this massive spread of wealth, then?"

Look at GDP or poverty rate of any country, there is no 'bump' or infection point the year or even the decade internet was invented. You know what did create a bump? Decolonisation.

Conclusion: nothing happened, extreme poverty was receding for decades prior, and it's just the same trend continuing.

The article doesn't come out and say it, but what they really want is for Binance to "de-risk." This could mean any or all of the following:

- Banning users from 2nd and 3rd world countries ("high risk jurisdictions")

- Banning VPN/Tor users

- Banning users with funds associated with gambling, darknet markets, or anything the FATF complains about

- Implementing opaque procedures to "deter criminals"

-> Holding funds hostage until adequate "source of funds" is provided

-> Note that even if source of funds is proven they will still cut off communication in about a third of cases for no reason whatsoever

-> Randomly requiring reverification (of course with selfies and maybe even over Zoom)

- Removing smaller coins

Use the user locale. Expressed as a geographic region (which you can use to compute the best possible region to serve the user from) and a language (used to render the page).

If you do it correctly you can support weird combinations, such as a German speaker living in California (expects prices in USD). Or the country of Switzerland (one territory, 4 official languages).

What we are seeing is the market correcting itself: service jobs are unattractive, so people leave those jobs. If nobody is willing to pay more and offer better customer behaviour for those jobs, those services will simply disappear. That is how the market "corrects" itself.

I'm all for better wages and labour conditions, but as long as that doesn't, happen, these jobs and services will continue to disappear. I hope people are aware of the fact that they're currently effectively voting for no fast food, no restaurants, and no theatres, because that's what they're going to get if nothing changes.
I think it syncs the data between instances of the app (on the cloud - 10GB or something like that..).

I would personally argue that as long that is true, such promises should not be made.

Maybe Pratchett was onto something when wrote this:

"Mention has already been made of an attempt to inject a little honesty into reporting on the Disc, and how poets and bards were banned on pain of - well, pain - from going on about babbling brooks and rosy-fingered dawn and could only say for example, that a face had launched a thousand ships if they were able to produce certified dockyard accounts. "
Nine? To me this sounds like abuse of a free network resource.
In addition to federal law that dictates such actions, the Microsoft merger still has to get past regulators. Not a good look if you're firing workers who are trying to unionize, and though IANAL, it seems rife with legal landmines to step on. Regardless, it will be interesting to watch how it turns out.
I guess, but my kettle finishes boiling right as I finish hand-grinding my coffee beans, so I can't say it's been a big issue in my life.
Important for others: Some loans do not extend this way and thus company bankruptcy (US) can protect you, so just opportunity cost. But the terms are generally bad, and why firms like tinyseed exist, esp. once revenue starts growing (though at that point you can potentially get a SAFE at better terms...).

Money is so sensitive! A Google millionaire bootstrapping on surveillance savings or a doctor taking favorable loans for starting a practice is different from say a college grad bootstrapping on no savings. Most SaaS is especially hard as there is typically no real revenue for ~years, compared to say B2B where each customer can easily pay for .5-5 people. So if operational expenses come from revenue, including sales/marketing/r&d, bravo.

Sure, a lot of people keep their stuff on somebody else's servers — a.k.a. the cloud — but there are still users who have plenty of local files: music, photos, code...

That's a wide range of users, so I don't have a specific product idea, but seems like some kind of opportunity may exist in this niche.

(If I had a product idea, I'd probably try making it myself — native desktop apps are much more fun to make than web.)
Some of the lead time to build fabs in the US is misleading. Offhand I know of at least one site that was 'under construction' for a long time, but intentionally very slow construction. The company wanted a fab there eventually, but wanted to lock in tax rates and other subsidies today. I guess the math came out ahead just making the project take forever to build.

Another comment somewhere else in this thread mentioned 2008 and the bailouts for banks, bankruptcy for the public, as the place we should look at. With big society wide trends like this it's impossible to have a clear cause and effect. It's all a muddle which is why I've listed a few different ideas all of which contribute in their own way.

Covid is such a unique situation though and I think it will serve as a clear turning point where preexisting trends were shattered and others were turned up to 11.

But ultimately, we didn't start the fire, but we can try to fight it.

Aging is not an irreversible process like most people think it is. It would make much more sense to research rejuvenation than to try to cure various age-related conditions individually.

In general: cells see signaling molecules in the bloodstream and "act their age" according to these signals. It's a self-sustaining process too. Google "heterochromic parabiosis" for actual research papers. It's impressive stuff.
Life isn't about the brain it's about the body, brains came much later in the evolutionary process. I like tuning up the senses and tuning down the cognition, at many points overthinking doesn't help much. Often lateral thinking can offer answers.

This will be the case with WASM extensions. You won't be sure what's available in someone else's WASM environment.

The only reason it's not the case with WASM on the web today is because it's so simple, and any differences are dealt with in the JavaScript layer.

S3 literally has this feature, and it doesn't even have to be WASM. It's called "S3 Object Lambda". It's quite new, so you're forgiven for not knowing about it.

Downloading from S3 is quick and free if it's within the same region, so you don't actually need this anyway.

Ayn Rend was a closet communist, besides the obvious point of her living on social security, and food stamps, ideas she voiced were very close to what Leninist communism — bolshevism was, to the point some say she was a communist agent in disguise.

A picture far from a hippie paradise they draw. The Strong subjugate the Weak through natural right, and those weak are not your poor workers, but your idle intellectuals, nobility, aristocrats, social democrats, and much of white collar workforce, which would've included you.

I have heard both the market is competitive but also the talent pool has to be somewhat slimmer than the general software market as a whole. I knew of someone who worked at Blizzard for maybe 2 years IIRC, claiming he felt it wasn't a great fit as he was not passionate about games. I imagine the game dev industry would generally select a candidate who is passionate about gaming (and preferably their products) over someone with similar skills but without that passion (which would possibly narrow the labor market somewhat?)
That's a nice example. It'd definitely be nice to have a warning for this one.

Fwiw GCC does have a related warning flag (-Wnull-dereference) but I'm not sure it's made exactly for this. I believe it works based on functions being annotated for possibly returning NULL, e.g. malloc. It's also not enabled by -Wall or -W because apparently there were too many false positives: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=96554

To be truly effective, UBI needs to be directly linked to the basic costs of living, like food and rent. If those go up, so should UBI. Or as long as there is no UBI, minimum wage should follow those costs.
