I think the parent poster meant that the actual going prices on multiple exchanges could be used for data inference.

While there are rumors of wash tradings on some exchanges, the price at which such trades would be going will be constrained by the larger network, and the risk of triangular trade will limit the possible divergences to a larger spread (instead of going one direction only)

Add enough data, and you may get something that would be almost impossible to trick, simply due to the sheer number of exchanges, and bots that would gladly take the money of those who would try to rig the game.
Following æsthetic at the cost of function is a complaint I’d make of Fira Code, not JetBrains Mono (disregarding ligatures, which both overdo): Fira Code’s r glyph is lousy, its & poor for code where immediately followed sans whitespace by letters (common for reference syntax in C-family languages; it’s much too similar to a letter, especially given the high ex height), and its ff ligation (two columns → one) downright idiotic.

I agree the virtual goods thing is not new, hats etc. But those were always viewed as a little silly too, and I'd argue they actually provide more value than the average NFT. I really don't think it's going to go mainstream. Most of us are already tired of NFT nonsense, and other virtual goods can barely be said to have gone "mainstream" either, after all this time.
> The dominance of clones was awesome for consumers, not so much for IBM.

Are you sure? it is really hard to predict what would have happened. Without the clones would the Apple II have taken off (it did have clones, but they would have needed to come up with a 16/32 bit upgrade pretty soon - the IIgs comes to mind though it was too late) , or maybe the mac?

Sure IBM had a name and would have got some sales, but would the platform take off? IBM did make a ton of money on PCs even if they were a bit player overall.

We can never know the above.

I’m torn on the setting an example bit. My parents never drank at all, that I know of. Growing up I was led to believe that you drank either never or always, like there was no middle ground. I wish someone had told me or demonstrated that it’s OK and normal to have the occasional drink and then stop.

We’re fortunate to live in a house with a yard. If I were going to smoke or vape, it’d be on the back deck. I wouldn’t use it inside any more than I’d use tobacco smoke or vape in my living room. More likely, I’d use an edible.

The downside to doing it secretly is that I’m pretty sure my kids in high school know what a stoned person looks like. The last thing I’d want is to have them notice I was under the influence, then come to their own (and wrong) conclusions like “huh, does Dad do this every night? Has he always?”
This is exactly what Bitfinex did back in 2016. They were 'hacked' for $72M, or about 36% of their assets at the time. They logged in, and removed 36% of everyone's account balances and replaced them with IOU tokens. [1] In fact it was believed that Coinbase was a Bitfinex customer at that time - and that they were one of the few accounts not actually given a haircut because I assume their lawyers mumbled something about 'fraudulent conversion.'

Don't panic. You won't lose your purchases.

So, to check what happens I cancelled "Google Workplace" subscription in one of my burner G Suite free legacy editions in the "Billing" section for one of the domains I own. Upon the cancellation in the section with "Apps" there were 44 services left in "Additional Google services" and 4 in "Google Workspace". The latter includes Google Drive and Google Keep—both still active for all users. Though I didn't see YouTube in the former section.

After activating Cloud Identity Management free edition subscription there are now in "Additional Google services" 55 services (up from 44) including YouTube, Photos, Google Play, Pay, Books, Maps, Chrome sync, Web Store etc. All active for all users in the account. I checked and I'm still able to access and use them.

It appears in general the account for the organization and all registered users are active and are able to access all services—though with no access to all Google Workspace services except Google Drive and Google Keep. They are still active.
Being insured by the gov for up to a certain amount will not solve the default issue (this is what crypto.com is pretending with their eerily similar worldwide protection thing), it was made to save poor people from complete ruin, not protect your savings.

If you re retiring and expect the bank to be good on a million $ worth of some sort of instrument, you're fucked minus 250k.

And this is totally fine: you re compensated for a low risk of default when you lend to your "savings account" and must accept this could happen. There s no way to make money waiting doing nothing risklessly. Creeptards know that well, they all in on wind, there s no worse risk.
This... Is literally how banks work.

lwn has no peers. Before I found it, and when I was earlier in my career, I spent about an hour every evening trying to read most of the relevant to me threads on LKML directly (seriously). I've paid for it for the kernel section alone, but the rest of the news is really good.

phoronix is hit/miss. The methodology Michael uses for many of his clickbait benchmark stories is often absolute garbage. He does a relatively decent job covering the latest happenings in desktop linux tech, but overall the quality is all over the place and the clickbait + ads get really old. I once setup the phoronix test suite to build an automated performance regression test harness and was ummm underwhelmed. That was about 10 years or so ago mind you, so maybe it has improved since.

The others you mention are all quite good. I'm a huge fan of just about anything sjvn writes (he posts a lot of zdnet, pcmag, etc). I'm also a fan of following the planet blogs for some of the bigger projects I care about (e.g.: https://planet.gnome.org/) but that's more raw source than actual aggregated news. Just depends on what you're into.
Red Hat came to the conclusion it was bad business.-
Is this really why they chose to do it? Streams make more sense with the modern environment. Fedora is upstream, then centos then RHEL. RH is doing a stepped approach which makes sense because no one can remember all domains and forsee all problems.
-Bad business is what Microsoft is doing by dumping broken patches on end users to test in production after MS liquidated their QA testers.

Yeah, mapToInt is annoying because the primitive/object dichotomy in Java is annoying. No question about it, it's a wart on the language. Though it does offer some optimization abilities, so the dichotomy is not completely meritless - it's easy to understand why the language designers did it this way.

I like the idea of making notes that will be given to them at a later time. In my opinion the method of using email is adding fragility to your desired end goal. I believe your goal is to write letters that one day your children will read. Their email addresses may change, you might pass on, email accounts may be closed, email and cloud providers can go out of business. Speaking from experience, receiving communications from a loved one after they pass may have unintended psychological impact.

I am not a lawyer nor an estate planner but I believe at very least you would want to write the letters in a plain and simple format with date/time stamps and save them to multiple storage devices and also print them out from time to time. Have copies on site and in a bank deposit box. Detail in your will that these letters and USB drives must be given to all your children. There should be a cover page that explains what the letter are as to avoid confusion and to provide context. Plain text paper and text files will not be impacted by any of the numerous future time bugs.

Even better might be to create a living trust and have trust managers that will manually hand a copy of the content to your children in paper form at the same time your assets are distributed to them. The trust manager can have special instructions detailing how they are to reaffirm to the children how important it was to you that they read them. This is of course assuming you do not give them the letters before you pass. Apologies if that seemed a bit morbid.

What is a "risky ingredient"?
> Flavor

I vape flower cannabis, flavor is a key component of this process.

> Fills the stomach

Cannabis stimulates my appetite. This is welcome and paired with a glass of wine (on an empty stomach) before dinner makes the experience amazing!

> Doesn't consume itself

My vape shuts off with inactivity - it doesn't "consume itself. Neither would a "bowl" of cannabis. Even a "joint" would stop burning if you put it down.

> Easy to consume a small amount without substantially altering your mental state.

This is one of the major advantages of consuming cannabis via the vaping/smoking vs. edibles (also alcohol). The effects are felt in seconds which allows you to eaasily regulate dosage. Edibles and alcohol can easily be overconsumed because of the delay involved in stomach/liver process.

> No fire/burn risk

My vape is electric, the risk of fire would be similar to using any of my other electronic devices with heat, such as a wax melt device etc.

> Doesn't generate smoke/odor, which is unpleasant for other people and gets in your clothes/furniture

While the vape does create an odor, it's short lived and doesn't smell like smoked cannabis.

On that thread he criticizes AWS regarding DynamoDB openly.

> I will always love DynamoDB, but the fact is it is losing ground fast because AWS focuses most of their resources on the half baked #builtfornopurpose database strategy. I always hated that idea, I just bit my tongue instead of saying it.

> The problem is the other half-baked database services that all compete for the same business. DocumentDB, Keyspaces, Timestream, Neptune, etc. Databases take decades to optimize, the idea that you can pump them out like web apps is silly.

> I was very tired of explaining over and over again that DynamoDB is actually not the dumbed down Key-Value store that the marketing message implied. When AWS created 6 different NoSQL databases they had to make up reasons for each one and the messaging makes no sense.

Well, they did educate people, alcoholism was a huge problem in the US at the time and men who became alcoholics often abused their families and could not provide for them, leaving them destitute. AFAIK, these issues did change for the better as alcoholism rates were lower after Prohibition than before, and less hard spirits were consumed. But building a society-wide consensus in the US confirming teetotalism? Outside of the highly religious communities, it's just impossible.
“New” doesn’t feel like the right word since for a long time it’s been known we’d need to shift to living with it. Getting the timing right for that shift has immense consequences, but I’d say it’s more a “next phase” in strategy rather than a “new” strategy.

Thanks! I did thought about linking to the main landing page. We have had a mobile app for a few years now so have received lots on feedback on that product and fine-tuned the messaging.

This person clearly has zero understanding of the concept of "Supply and demand".

Not only the same thing he says:
"In the future, I could buy an eBook for £15 and then sell it for £14.99.
Given enough competition, this means the price should drop to zero."
Could also happen to any physical good: CD's and DVD's, collectible cards. Do they always go down in price?

The truth is: it simply does not happen that the value always goes down. There is several edition CD and Vinyls that are very sought by collectors that have gone up in price because they are rare (just like art).

Some people could also really want that eBook (with very few people selling it) and offer to buy it for £16, raising the prices again...

It also doesn't help "explain" prices in real NFT marketplaces not going to zero, just take a look at www.nbatopshot.com (licensed by both the NBA and the players association) or any other digital collectible...
So they just rolled out global replication, and I can't for the life of me figure out how they resolve write conflicts without cell timestamps or any other obvious CRDT measures.

I believe it's really just cultural. If you spend time with people who don't drink, they often have just as fun a time as drinkers. Humans have been around for a while and if we couldn't have fun once in a while we'd be long extinct. I think people overestimate the necessity of social lubricants. This probably goes hand in hand with the greater culture as well-- at least in America I think it's seen as more necessary because socially its seen as weird to behave really friendly with strangers unless you're imbibed.
Speaking from experience, as an older guy with crippling social anxiety and 30+ yrs of alcohol use/abuse, I can say that it superficially helps with social anxiety. However, it does not get to the root cause(s) of said anxiety. Professional help is needed to find and work on fixing those. The side effects, physical and psychological, of regular alcohol consumption are far worse than living with social anxiety. I also think it's unhealthy to try to fix one's psychological issues with drugs/medications without also looking at and trying to fix the reasons for their use in the first place.

Also, I now have to undergo quite a few yearly medical tests to keep an eye on my body after years of self medicating for my extreme social anxiety.

FWIW, I don't say these things as a teetotaler. I believe in harm reduction.
In that case, I'm gunna load my cart up w/ whip cream, whiskey, and big-ass tomahawk steak.

Alcohol is pretty versatile. Not every use of it is for intoxication. For example, nobody is getting a buzz from deglazing a sauce pan with red wine.
The AmigaOS ABI was really designed for the m68k, it leverages registers as much as possible. Pass variables in data registers, pointers in address registers. A4 for local data, A6 for the library pointer, results in D0.

That said, most library routines would then store the register contents on the stack and restore on return so not sure it's more efficient for memory access etc.

The m68k is the most CISC of ISAs I've seen, you have plentiful addressing modes and register orthogonality. It had adressing modes to do auto postincrements/predecrements, indirect indexed accesses and all sorts of fun.
Eeek, yes! Sorry - probably should have put that in the post.
