Crypto companies have a different risk profile than most finance companies.

For most finance companies, if they have a whoopsie and lose money to a software boo-boo, they'll just reverse the transaction. Times when such a transaction cannot be reversed (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-19/citigroup...) are the extremely rare exception, and are adjudicated by a civil court.

Whereas if a crypto company has their wallets breached, it's almost certainly immediately irreversible.

There's a huge amount of uncertainty, mainly. The EPA is trying to act on its own, and despite losing lawsuits, cost of regulatory compliance and lawsuits goes up.

Investors don't want to risk entering the "new market" in case the "old market" isn't actually shut down or run out of town and remains competitive. Uncertain indirect subsidies via govt driving up your competitors costs is less enticing than guaranteed subsidies for building more wind and solar.

The best solution is not allowing arbitraty administrative agencies to take the place of legislative certainty. But that's been deemed unacceptable by those demanding change at all costs despite lacking popular or legislative support.
>Given how many of the social media audience would read just the title, perhaps the missing context label is accurate.

If that's the standard we're going with, 95% of content and 100% of ads on social media should also have big factcheck warnings on them.
> Is there a different way to think about browser extensions that frames it in a more appetizing way?

I like the idea of selecting things and choosing from a set of actions which I've installed. These would be opt-in, and only have "read" access to whatever content I've highlighted, and have zero "write" access. This would be enforced as a security requirement by the host environment (browser). For example selecting a product image/title/upc and choosing "analyze food ingredients" or something. The precedent in Chrome would be selecting text and choosing "Search Google for <text>".
> In comparison if an attacker gets a credit card that card could be disabled and or have transactions cancelled.

That's why attackers never go after credit card numbers, right?

I think non-revertible payments do not really make a big difference to attackers, it just makes value extraction more efficient. Some percentage of fraudulent transactions will always make it through. So long as the funds accessible to the attacker are sufficiently large, it's still a juicy target. 10% of 200 megadollars is still 20 megadollars.

I agree with @capableweb2. They're an attractive target because they are a financial company with control over lots of value, not because of anything to do with cryptocurrencies in particular.

Honestly, I’m more waiting for WASM garbage collection to officially land as a standard.

It won’t get me DOM level access but I can at least move a lot of my code there. I’m also quietly hopeful that canvas based rendering can make some huge improvements in the next few years so it doesn’t feel like Flash 2.0 but I’m ready to at least start thinking about letting go of the DOM as the thing I have to care about.

Until then I’m having a good time with Lit (lit.dev) for building web apps that need to be super snappy and “web feeling” which is still basically every customer facing thing.

But in a dream scenario I would way rather be writing apps in Flutter which was at least built from the ground up for building complex user interfaces in a sensible way, but that whole ecosystem is still in some very early days on the web and isn’t a good choice right now for most things, hoping that changes in a few years as they also seem to be targeting the WASM + Canvas path and the web as a platform isn’t there on that yet and neither are they.
To be pedantic that still requires assuming the author is using a sane convention (RFC3339) or convention including sane formats (ISO 8601) and not something ridiculous like %V-%W-%O or %Y-%D-%M. Thankfully the sane convention seems highly likely.
You aren't getting it. Who does the bare risk itself victimize? Where is the damage? The risk is just that, a risk. There's a chance it may go bad and a chance that it may not. The risk produces no damage, no victim. But in sufficient quantity the bad outcome will happen enough to be worth making the activity is not allowed. Normally we prohibit the bad outcome but for some highly subjective cases we have to just draw a somewhat arbitrary line.
Looks fantastic, I'll definitely try this one out
Companies that want to do so, already embed "ring home" mechanisms in their apps that periodically connect to the Internet and check that you still hold a valid license or refuse to continue working.

It seems this depends a lot more on the company policy rather than specific technology used for the implementation.
Hi everyone, I am Moses Olafenwa, the CEO and Head of Operations of the company DeepQuest AI (now a UK company based in Greenwich, London). First, apologies for the missing information of our names on the about page. The deepquestai.com website hasn't been updated recently due to our team being a small one and having lots to do.

About DeepStack: DeepStack is an artificial intelligence server we developed late 2018 to empower developers to easily setup, integrate and leverage AI functionalities (blog post: https://medium.com/deepquestai/deepstack-build-ai-powered-ap... ) fully on the edge or their private cloud machines.

Today, DeepStack is available as a Docker image on Docker Hub and native application for Windows, with support for CPUs, modern NVIDIA GPUs, Jetson devices, ARM devices, Linux and MacOS with over 10 millions installs on Docker Hub ( https://hub.docker.com/r/deepquestai/deepstack ). It include functionalities such as Face Recognition/Detection APIs, common objects detection, image superresolution, custom detection models to detect any custom object of interest and many more. You can learn more about the product and using it via the documentation linked below

https://docs.deepstack.cc

DeepStack has a very active community on the official forum https://forum.deepstack.cc and other forums like HomeAssistant ( https://community.home-assistant.io/t/face-and-person-detect... ), IPCamTalk( https://ipcamtalk.com/tags/deepstack/ ) and YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=deepstack+ai+se... )

From year 2019 after we released DeepStack till early, 2021 the project was largely developed and maintained by John Olafenwa (the creator of the AI server) and I; pretty hard for 2 folks with day job to keep up with everything involved in the project which is why some of our sites are not fully updated. That is about to change in 2022 as we grew to a team of 6 late last year and growing to ensure we keep developing, maintaining and improving DeepStack for the almost a million developers leveraging the server to integrate AI.
One positive thing I found about the work I patented, was that because the work was patented (and thus public), we were able to speak a little more openly about the innovation we made. The alternative is that every innovation is a trade secret, which is also not ideal.

Good overview of the controversy.
For me it depends on what’s being written. For the stuff I work with day to day (all very “boring”/mainstream languages) there’s no possibility of ligatures causing confusion, and I find them to be an enhancement in both aesthetics and readability.

I also think it would be interesting if a programming language used the Unicode characters that ligatures simulate rather than combinations of general purpose characters, but that seems unlikely given that it’d require a new programmer-oriented keyboard layout.
I love it when people put the instruction for what to enter into a field instead of actually filling out the field.

I run into it ALL the time and no matter how you write instructions, at least 1/3 of people won't read them but just skim to what they think they need and then copy/paste. Ugh.
Sorry to be somewhat off-topic, but I have a Linux kernel bug question. I found a very small kernel bug (no obvious security implication, only affecting 32-bit builds) at work a few weeks back while working on a custom kernel patch. I sent an email to the maintainers for that kernel subsystem, but didn't hear back. I'm not quite sure if I should keep pestering them until I get a response, or if I should be doing something else to get it addressed. Any suggestions from someone with experience?

> Banks do not work this way

Yes, they do.

> Banks have insurance policies, both private and federal, that would cover the losses.

The federal insurance policy covers you if, after operating this way (or for some other reason) the bank ends up without money to cover your account (and, the regulation that comes with the insurance means that it's more likely that the Federal government will force the sale of your bank to one that does have extra money to cover your account even before that happens.)

But banks still operate as described (and using some of their pool of assets to buy private insurance is functionally the same as just adjusting the balances of people it is compensating for losses and increasing risk to others by doing so, except it smooths things a bit over time at the expense of higher average cost.)
Selling stocks at a loss is only helpful in the short term, or if you don’t think those stocks are going back up. If you harvest a loss for a tax deduction on December 31, and the stock goes back up by the end of January so you’d be even, you are way behind – because the loss only comes back to you at your highest tax rate.
I think Peloton kind of misunderstood where their value lay--I think they're a better software company than hardware company and they should shift their focus accordingly.

My mom has a Peloton and I have a Sunny spinbike and I think mine is sturdier and (mostly) better built than hers. But after trying a couple different spin classes, I think Peloton has the best instructors, the best variety of classes, and the best music choices
Is it? I'm not sure of numbers of total accounts but anyone who knows anything about crypto is suspicious of crypto.com as a platform and I don't know anyone who uses it when things like coinbase are available. They just bought an expensive URL and spammed a bunch of ads. If that makes them the apex of the industry I guess CALL THE GENERAL AND SAVE SOME TIME is the apex of the car insurance industry.
"out sick" is one thing. Taking a full year off is another. Our capacity plans include set aside time for people for sick leave, vacations, meetings, and things like "Hack week", etc. We don't have capacity set aside for people to take a year off like it ain't no thang.

>People who have problem with alcohol would have problems with "less harmful" (weed I assume?) drugs too, it's a personality trait.

You're blatantly assuming here and making it a categorical statement. They usually don't, neither statistically or at least in my experience, anecdotally. I and many friends of mine regularly drink, but most of us barely touch other drugs. Weed occasionally for some of my friends (I personally dislike it intensely) but things like coke and so forth, pretty much nothing, in a wide group of people who are regular consumers of alcohol.
I just meant 'narrative' as a tying together of facts and corresponding synthesis - an inherent thing rather than a bad thing.

I do think the market failure here is a bit political, in that it's market fundamentalism to rely solely on spot prices, falling back to wishful thinking that short periods of extremely high prices will somehow incentivize new investment into the market. That decision to not have a capacity market is definitely a political one.

Agreed on the physical things that need to happen to prevent this from reoccurring, but the question is how to get those things implemented. A strong regulated market would just declare that they need to be done, and ignore the protests of how burdensome they are. Whereas a deregulated market dynamic really needs a forward capacity market or some other incentive for plants to do the preparation for staying online. And this applies to both the electricity and natural gas markets.
This was also my impression learning about it as I was starting to learn about global finance in high school. Even them it seemed ridiculous. I wonder how many more systems currently in place are based on such foolish promises and easily exploited foundations of trust.
I'm speculating heavily here, but it seems TLS seems to be userland thing, but with OS support (e.g. CLONE_SETTLS flags, *_thread_area()).

Maybe it was thought more like a thread-level thing, and not runtime thing. E.g. if we had some competing runtimes in one process space (e.g. go, jvm, libc), then they can all obtain TLS pointer via some unified method (via register or syscall). Otherwise there would be need for some chosen runtime, which would keep the pointer and distribute it around - which would create another set of problems.

Putting it on the top of initial process stack would work I guess, though.
No, it's deeper than mere awe. I've felt it once, when contemplating what eternal life would be like. I can see how people would feel it while contemplating the scale of the universe.
I'm guessing they're only trouble because they took the seats out. Probably cheaper just to leave them in, and sell along with wrench to remove them 'in case it's needed for repair.' A friendly source will publish in a trade magazine it's the same van after 12 minutes to remove the seats, and the scheme will continue.
I think the primary reason Putin wants Ukraine is that he sees a difficult future for the Russian economy over the next 10-20 years in the declining importance of fossil fuels (lest we forget the oil price war in 2020) and thinks that expansionist nationalism is an easier way to secure his government's stability against its own people than trying to reduce his country's dependence on energy exports.

The actual security of Russia re: NATO is not really in question here, though you're right that he may not believe this, and we can't be sure that he does. However given the lukewarm international response to his annexation of Crimea, I'm inclined to believe the economic explanation more. He has just decided (probably correctly) that Ukraine is not a country that NATO will go to war to save.

The article said that their automated systems priced power too low since it thought there was an oversupply, but it doesn't say that any providers came online at $9000/MWh that wouldn't have also come online at $2000/MWh. There's an artificial pollution cap that loosens supply at $1500/Mwh.

I've tried IBM plex, Fira, and even bought Operator Mono.

Always switched back to Ubuntu Mono.

It may not be the coolest looking font, but the most legible to me.
That doesn't resolve the problem at all; it just shifts money around. If the wholesale price of electricity was set to $9000/MWh but utilities continue to charge lower prices do you expect them to just absorb the difference? Of course not.

From the article:

> The Legislature approved the issuance of what will likely end up being about $5 to $6 billion in bonds to pay back some of these costs. That form of borrowing creates an obligation of about $200 for every adult and child in Texas.

No, most families didn't pay $9000/MWh during the event. But they will pay for it in the form of future taxes or fees charged by the utility.
I think a useful example is in the book "How the Irish Saved Civilization." The basic premise is that Christian monasteries isolated from the post-Roman disorder preserved knowledge and knowledge tradition that reemerged later. Stating this is not intended as unqualified praise for the book or to deny the role of Orthodox, Syriac and Islam in knowledge preservation or to say that the deconstruction of the Roman Empire was a bad thing.

JSON is underspecified, leading to various incompatibilities between implementations.

Because cURL is so ubiquitous, whatever Daniel implements may become the de facto standard.
Can probably add types later, and consider it once we get the project underway. I am not saying you are wrong, but I have heard TypeScript developers complain about the turnaround in development being slower.
Opting in sounds like the better pattern here. I would also appreciate if I could opt-in giving the extension network access instead of extensions getting it by default.

Alcohol consumption was pretty common in the NBA, with some even drinking during halftime. Some of the biggest stars of the league in the past decades drank a lot of alcohol, though much less now with more stringent policies in place. There are players that led the league in scoring despite drinking well into the night all the time. Lebron James is a famous wine drinker. He drinks every day and his longetivity and conditioning is unmatched, but he may be from a different planet.

These were some random facts from an NBA fan who doesn't drink.
We need something like the senate filibuster debate rule for taxes. Basically just state that there is this thing I can do to skirt the tax system so I declare a tax evasion without having to actually make people do stupid stuff.
I don't know what the slavery has to do here... but as for psychoactive drugs, it's not only a bad thing, it also has its upsides that are well-known, hence why humans have been consuming drugs since forever. The downsides/upsides ratio varies greatly depending on the dose and the frequency.

I think there's better education around alcohol now than there was 30 years ago (at least where I live). Still, a lot could be done, particularly for the youth, like banning pre-mixed cans and other sugary ready-to-binge beverages. Habits start early.
