I guess it's a good idea in theory, but the language of the license is somewhat indecipherable.

> Adjust these dollar figures for inflation according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics’ consumer price index for all urban consumers, United States city average, for all items, not seasonally adjusted, with 1982–1984=100 reference base.

Yeah, I'll get right on that.

Are there any significant projects that use this license?

Since this is based on Pandoc, it should be able edit many miscellaneous formats including MS Word docs.
Google search is one area of Google in which this big company problem actually doesn't happen that much. Changes in the algorithm are never implemented by fiat, Google employs raters, and performs blind experiments to test if a change to search actually improves user satisfaction before rolling it out to everyone. So at least they must have some data that it increases user satisfaction, both with the metrics of the signal they measure, and with subjective raters satisfaction.
That's because ENS was set up as a delegated voting system. If one of those representatives starts losing their favor with the community, people can switch their delegates to someone else.
> The suggested (stricken) OSHA mandates were basically forcing non-consensual penetration, or lose your job.

Is that really so different? If you need to drive for your job and try to do so without a licence you'll lose your job too. Conversely, if you're in your own home then nobody is going to make you wear a mask (well certainly not the government anyway).
But… there already are autonomous rifle turrets.
Victim blaming? OP is bragging about his revenue in the very same blog post! He used open-source code without taking the time to understand what the code did and somehow we're victim blaming?

They're required to publish their prices, which results in giant PDF documents with thousands of different charge codes and prices. Its almost incomprehensible to analyze unless you're in healthcare billing. Plus, you'd need to know what services/medications/equipment you'll need before you even get to the hospital, which is pretty dang tricky unless you're a doctor yourself.

I was recently in the hospital for abdominal issues. How would I know what drugs they would give me? How would I know if they were going to give me some kind of scan? If they were going to give me a scan, are they going to use a portable machine or use a stationary machine? Are they going to need to use some kind of endoscopic scope? Will I need other things to assist with those scans (sedatives, contrast materials, etc)? Which blood work tests is the doctor going to order? Which urine tests is the doctor going to order? Are they going to order stool samples? How many samples are they going to need, how many times are they going to need to re-run tests? What if I get there and determine I need surgery? How should I have known I needed that ahead of time? What kind of surgery is it going to be? What drugs are involved in that?

Its not like you can walk up and see a board that says "INTESTIONAL DISTRESS -- $175"
Not a shot, an intranasal spray. The leading candidates on clinicaltrials.gov are adenovirus carried spike protein based versions (I would rather have mRNA) but it should still do the job of getting upper respiratory resident T cells trained on sars-cov-2 epitopes.
No I don't think the paper is talking about breaking hashing here, they're talking about breaking the 256-bit elliptic curve encryption of keys in the Bitcoin network.

Hashing isn't really the same thing... you're not "encrypting" data when you hash it, you're putting it through a one-way function that produces a consistent fixed-size output, such that if you provide the same input again, you get the same output.

Hashes aren't "reversible" in any reasonable sense of the word. Sure, you can keep guessing inputs until you produce one that has the same hash, but it's misleading to say that you're "decrypting" it. I'd instead say you're finding collisions.

To me, "decryption" implies that there's some secret you have which can take the hash and turn it back into its original input in constant or linear time. Using the word "decryption" to describe "finding a hash collision" isn't really correct.
The list of countries was less important the the universal nature of the Muslim ban. It was kind of the opposite of the China ban. When it comes to disease, we need to act decisively and universally with care not create loopholes that allow people to pass through. When we are talking about terrorism, banning an entire country doesn't make sense. There has to be some type of vetting for exceptions.

The Muslim ban included people who had already been living in the US for years. These are people who have lives, families, and jobs here. But if they happened to be outside the US when the ban went into effect, they couldn't reenter the country. If they already were in the country, they couldn't leave. They couldn't have their friends or family from back home visit them. There is no logic to a ban of that scale when it comes to preventing terrorism. That is the type of universal ban one creates to stop a pathogen. Except the China ban was full of holes and thousands of Chinese nationals continued to travel to the US. That isn't a plan based on science.

The motivations for both these moves was not rationale. Considering they both came from the same person, a person who has a long documented history of other bigoted actions, his critics connected them with the shared thread of xenophobia.
Money isn't the issue. If it were, other parties (like the various claimants to .app) would have b̶r̶i̶b̶e̶d̶ convinced ICANN to favor their applications by now. The real issue is simply that ICANN is a highly bureaucratic organization; they don't do anything quickly. They only published a report on the outcome of the 2012 gTLD offering last year.
I just asked around how long Freenode (minused Libera since it's a baby basically) has avoided a complete outage. The answer: since it's inception, 20+ years ago.

Nothing beats IRC.
IDK if it's gotten worse, but circa 2004->2006, my experiences with the NHS were nothing but pleasant. I mostly dealt with northern hospitals and GPs, but it was pretty much in and out. Appointments didn't take long, we were in and out in almost all cases.
I just looked up a couple of articles myself. Apparently they entered the market in 2000, expanded rapidly but closed a whole lot of stores in 2008. As of 2022 they're still yet to turn a profit.

I don't think it's a case of them requiring years of marketing to convince the general Australian public to pay more (you go past the store at Melbourne Central and it's 50-50 Asian tourists and hipster Zoomers with Macbooks that want to pretend they're in New York; either way, they just view the brand as some quirky novelty), nor is it the competition from cheap espresso (7-11 didn't launch their dollar coffees until 2013, and Coles Express was maybe a year after that) - it's the fact we already had an established coffee culture and Starbucks' product fundamentally fails to conform to what our idea of a "real" coffee is.

They could sell their drinks for $1 at 7-11 and people would still buy the standard lattes.
Microsoft Teams surpasses 270M monthly active users
very cool. My only quibble would be the keyboard layout. split is completely fine, but the actual placement of keys does not seem ideal. Assuming that the origin of the thumbs would be bottom left and right, I'd rotate the layout of the keys a few degrees to match that reach. Hard to know without actually holding it and trying.
It means 76% think FB is bad, 11% don’t and 13% are indifferent
Digital feudalism.
They probably didn't? Tencent probably got the rights to the film in a licensing library for cheap, practiced some self censorship, and somebody went through the film at 2X and said "chabuduo". The party mostly relies on self censorship with punishment if they are found to not do it correctly, so its not like there is a lot of close checking. Just this controversy about the ending in the western media is probably enough for the party to go and tell Tencent they did this wrong, maybe this or next week, if they even notice.

People think China is way more controlling than it actually is. Yes, the party aspires to absolute authoritarian control, but the reality on the ground is much messier.
I've used 100+ Bluetooth devices and ever single one of them had weird connection quirks. Hell every wireless protocol I've ever seen has been similar excluding some actual industrial stuff.
I took 8 months off fishing in the ocean, and never could really look that code in the eye again.

After that, I found it helps to move between teams and projects often. I last about 1-3 years with overlapping contracting jobs. Pays well, about $30 an hour on average, for as many hours as I want.

Honestly, I'm still edging the ~buildout~burnout vortex, so when I start to feel the first tendrils of that morning-sickness, I just let clients know that their number is up and that although I'll give them some time, they need to replace me.

It's happened that doing that in slack revitalized the whole workspace for a few more months.

edit: I neglect to mention, after the Great Rest my wife and I started serially travelling... so work is something I snatch time for, instead of "waking up to the grind". Covid put a pause on that, but it's in the air!
If I borrow 51% of the outstanding supply, how much skin do I have in the game? What if I buy $100 million worth of ENS, while simultaneously shorting it on DeFi?

What if I tell people that if they vote for my proposal, I'll raid the Community Treasury and bribe them with the money I get from that? Do they have skin in the game? And if so, which game?
You're seriously complaining that when someone seeks healthcare they are using a bed?

No, not when they "seek healthcare". But when they go out and inevitably get themselves covid because they think they're making bold, individualist statement (as many of these people apparently do think) by not masking and not getting vaccinated.
Sure, but you're taking two things for granted: you know this is the approach used, and it's the only approach used. If we assume those, you can work around any watermark.
I'm left wondering how many other sites are quietly getting 30% of their revenue siphoned off due to a similar "malfunction", and how much of the easy refund process is to avoid a public fuss that'd reveal that fact.
I used to love my Alphasmart for writing. I don't know if this keyboard would work very well for a touch typist, but maybe. The AA batteries are a real bonus for me. Plus, with Linux in it, it could do a lot more. I do agree with others that wifi would be a killer feature to add to this thing.
Whatever symbols are used and implied meaning they have (or not), as a layperson I found that the article was very clear that they had not reached any total energy gain (they write something like 0.17 MJ out for 1.9 MJ in).

Ooph. Don’t go into any kind of “political” thread then. You’ll find critical thinking goes out the window as soon as you touch a sacred cow.
So you have several videos on mock interview questions, but instead of being able to skim the video titles and knowing which ones are that the word "mock interview" appears at a seemingly random place in the video's title.

Valid Parentheses (LC 20) Mock Interview - No Decision

VR Mock Interview- Nearly Sorted Array - Success

Coin Change - VR Mock Coding Interview - #3

Honestly the titling is just outright bad. I don't know what "LC 20" means and I didn't realize that "VR" was in reference to the animation style, and don't understand why that's important or relevant.

Putting: Success, No Decision, #3, etc in the title isn't clear what it is, or why I'd want to watch these where the candidate did NOT succeed. The whole format is just strange.

Bigger issue is I cannot read the handwriting in particular in this one:

Would love to know which BT products are actually reliable. Seems like the best are only "reliable" relative to others which are "downright unusable".
Pilot or air traffic control. Anything where it’s expensive to get license is good alternative.
I always search as such:

"perfect steak recipe"

"perfect grilled chicken"

and such... typically resulting in the best results.

"R53 mini cooper fuel filter"

reduce the words to the core of the question, and get good results.
good shares!
That’s pretty much gopher already.
The experience is mostly crappy when you involve macOS. No problems moving around iOS here with my Pro's.
No actually it's not. You're (gravely) mistaken.

The customer is the person doing the search. The sites aren't viewing the ads. The sites aren't clicking on the ads. *That* is Google's #1 source of revenue. Full stop.

And thus, as originally stated and supported, too many practicers of SEO, with that wrong lens, continue to misunderstand Google.

Put another way, Google doesn't change the title for the benefit of the sites. There's simply no biz model / source of revenue to support that idea. None.
I did finally cave, for some "easy money", and backslid into a job with that same system (which has evolved in really nice ways since then).

Are you referring to vote delegation? ENS holders 'delegate' their votes towards a person or entity, which then votes on their behalf, and this delegation can be changed at any time if the delegates are malicious.

This might not feel as democratic as direct one vote-per-token, but that scheme tends to have much lower turnout (as seen with compound.finance and curve.fi voting).
> considering that the vaccine does nothing to stop it from spreading.

Completely untrue. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01575-4
Switzerland is indeed extremely expensive for most things, but consumer technology is actually OK here. A low sales tax of ~8% actually makes some products made in China cheaper here that in Germany.

Oh, and a lot things like infrastructure actually work out cheaper because of the massive investment sunk in up front. It is a case of spending more now, to save more in the long run.
This is unquestionably good, as long as pickups and dropoffs are available.
THE GUIDE
it's just much much better!
The prior comment implied that full nodes had some power in ensuring the integrity of the network even in the event of a 51% attack. You are suggesting the opposite. Which is true?
Your example is a transaction between people (the doctor and you).
You don't have a right to that transaction. The other party can withdraw for whatever reason (including not having time).

The freedom to roam is freedom.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but the parent comment is correct in the usage of the world freedom, whether you like it or not.

The company formed by former Oculus founder Palmer Luckey aims at integrating literally everything in the battlefield from robots to space assets and uses every available technology including VR, 5G and AI. Makes for very interesting and VERY SCARY reading…..
This is by far the longest I have ever been with a company. I am rolling on 7 years at the moment. Part of me thinks that time off and a new company could be the answer but it's hard to know.
I asked this question in another comment, but same thing: Just curious, is this your attitude towards other things as well? There used to be a very popular ebay scam, which had people sell large screen TVs and video game systems for very cheap. At the bottom of the auction description, in fine print, the auction also clearly stated that you were bidding/buying only a photo of the product, not the actual product. In other words, it was "spelled out", so no one was getting scammed according to your perspective here, right? It was on the fault of the buyers for not reading the license/auction description?
And overweight people make up to 65% of those. See a dark pattern here ?
I wince a little when someone suggests to throw away battle-tested solutions written in C just because someone wrote and unproven alternative in Rust.
COVID19 has, since the beginning, had a 0.6% IFR. The odds of someone under 40 without comorbodities dying of it were and are more or less zero.

HIV was and is invariably fatal. Yes, current drug regimens are remarkably effective. They are also very complex, required for the rest of your life, and do not affect the odds of you infecting someone else by unprotected sex.

*No one*, not even the most ill centenarian, would choose HIV over COVID19 if required to be infected by one.
I also find that if you put the solution in your hands, at the right concentration, and then form an oval with your thumbs and forefingers, you can blow very large bubbles.

You have to start slowly, until a large curve forms, then expand the bubble until it can bud off as complete. Also it can help with a small amount of spit! :)
You think not wearing a seatbelt only endangers you?
My only other bluetooth headset is a set of Bose QC35s. As sibling comments reported, quality is about par overall. I find UX of Bose is worse on all counts when working with multiple devices. And the battery life of my AirPods is less on a single use, but much better overall considering I can recharge in the case.

My airpods, generally, also have to put up with more. I don't use my Bose with my phone or on the go which is, generally, where the AirPods experience 90% of their quirks.

That makes for a poor sample size though so would absolutely love suggestions for more reliable alternatives.

Edit: apparently I don't know how to spell Bose
Not a police state to put in more restrictions after the bare minimum hasn't worked or been followed.
Obviously you should be able to be unvaccinated only on private property then...
You just said it's been proven that lockdowns are harmful. Now you're saying the longterm results can't be known by anyone, only guessed at.
Funny, I'm up 45%/year going back 30ish years, since we're on the Internet just saying things.
Google discontinuing G suite legacy free edition on 1st July
I think, this started already at the height of the Web 2.0, when Google started to favour more recent (often copy-and-paste) blog content over older content, regardless of prestige or authority. If I'm not mistaken, age and/or recent update has been now officially part of the algorithm for quite a while.
And most of the people (vaxxed or not) who need critical care with COVID have those pre-existing conditions.
Yes, in fact this is exactly what happened when a hacker found a bug in a DAO that allowed them to steal tens of millions of dollars. The outcome flies completely in the face of the idea of decentralization, censorship resistance and "law as code". But don't let that get in the way of the ponzi scheme.

If the system is overwhelmed, then hospitals shouldn't have fired workers who didn't want to get vaccinated.
Per the pilot’s description it was a rotorcraft with unknown quantity of rotors, a camera sticking on the bottom and a V shaped antenna like object on top.

The capabilities demonstrated by this vehicle definitely resemble another event last year when another drone-like object escaped a police helicopter pursuit.
Though it appears they may reverse this, I think it’s worth discussion that a googler commented the following within 90mins after issue 1263679 creation:

“Yep, I think Tommy, Angela, and I all came to the same conclusion that we'd like the pre-populated search engines list to be indestructible, or maybe even immutable. A front-end UI restriction sounds like a step in the right direction.”

Also of interest, it seems the one who reported the bug with “strong preference” is the one who implemented the change.
Why is it dumb for him to select a black woman? Maybe he disagrees with your tacit assumptions that race and gender don't matter, that background and identity matter to no one. Sorry to say, meritocracy is rarely the system anywhere, research has shown diverse teams perform better.

And pragmatically, this is politics, sides with teams exist in politics, different groups exist, representation matters. Would it be smart for the Dems to not please their supporters who elected them? Keep in mind, Biden beat Bernie in the primary largely due to huge wins with black democrats in the South.

Covid vaccines did do a decent job at preventing spread in the original variants, and actually even now (unless I'm mistaken, it's hard to entirely keep up) the vaccines still cut the probability of you being infected at any point in time
