Not sure why this is downvoted. It is well documented that the most demanding activities lead to the strongest and most enduring relationships. War is the most extreme obvious example, but at college students who participate in demanding sports or band or those competitive business groups have far richer social lives in general than those who join casual clubs. In adulthood careers like medicine where people do gruelling shift work together results in again in more enduring and close bonds than in your usual 9 to 5.

It is perhaps an inconvenient truth but share suffering and struggle is the "secret" here. Why do you think childhood friendships are generally the closest ones a person will have? In part because of the intense earnest struggle to figure things out. Which is what brings people together far more effectively than shared happiness or some vague feeling of social dissatisfaction.
Expanding access to Differential Privacy to create a safer online ecosystem
You don't even need a whole dark room. You can get a kit that has a development tank about the size of a coffee cup. It comes with a dark bag. You need to practice a little bit to learn how to get the undeveloped film into the tank by touch alone while in the bag but it's not super complicated. Once that's done the rest of the process is done outside the bag.
I agree, but many people recognize a freedom of speech that is broader than just the prohibition on its infringement by government, and many here are arguing from that school of thought. I believe that if you recognize that broader definition of free speech, that it must also include free association, otherwise you force people to associate with speech they abhor and the whole thing falls apart.

Thanks a lot for the responses, I understand now :)
Way ahead.

The original "greatest game of all time" Myst was implemented in Hypercard at least for the initial Mac release.
That's a bad comparison. The filing fee is small compared medical treatment, and it's in support of the government itself. The cost of doing that for people is tiny and doesn't really take away from anyone else.

Medicine is a scarce resource at this point, and, generally speaking, giving care to X often means Y won't get it. The fundamental problem with medical care is supply, lowering barriers for demand isn't a solution to that.
Wow just the right moment, I am thinking to setup my own blog. Commenting for bookMark.

Wow! Suicide is really common among french postmodernist writers.

Althusaar (I guess he technically murdered his wife), Deleuze (threw himself out of a window), Debord. Am I forgetting anyone?
In my experience there's a lot more need for people who understand the data and data systems of a company and how to analyze that data than someone who can write some code. This is also technical work in my mind. Data analysis done correctly is very hard, because it's rarely the case that a company's data systems are well-formed, gather the right information without any gaps, and organize it effectively. Knowing how to wrangle that can make you incredibly valuable to everyone, and there's no need to know how to write product code to do it.
The sandpaper used in most kits is near useless. The sheetmetal "rasp" rougheners work much better to get the mold release broken up.
You pay for that content delivery by selling the users data to Google. Do you think that is fair that the user should pay for your video hosting with his data? If the user wants to see the video, sure, but that hasn't been made clear yet at this stage.
It’s a useful way to frame things in technical discussions. Everyone wants to refactor ugly code, but unless the team is paying interest because the code is bad it’s rarely worth it just because.

Aka if it’s 5 years old and nobody had needed to edit it then yes it’s ugly but the interest rate is probably low. Meanwhile stuff that just a little off but gets touched every week can be much more meaningful.
Also, the C version should really look like this:

const struct role r = {
.name = "basic",
.flag = 1,
.disabled = false,
};

(of course this doesn't give you uninitialized memory in case new items are added to the struct, but why would one ever want that?)
> This is by design. The game theoretic winning strategy is to highly target 50% of the voting population (adjusted for electoral representation) and by doing that you are guaranteed to piss off or confuse a lot of the remainder. Imagine you craft a set of policies that appeals to 70% of the voting population. I then craft a set of policies that appeals to 65% but because it is smaller it is also more highly targeted so it steals voters from you. You then craft a set of policies that appeals to 60% but because it is smaller it is more highly targeted and you steal voters for me. Continue until we both have policies that appeal to 50%. The rest is pretty much up to chance and incumbent effects.

I still think though that with American politics at least, the average voter isn't ideologically dogmatic enough to be resistance to counter-points by the other side that appeal to base emotions of security and economic prosperity. Jobs and Crimes platforms are potent. The two sides aren't equally weighted. One side as an advantage that the above strategy needs to overcome in a better way than "Defund (disband) police."

That's a very generous take on the matter . . . but I think it's more comedic to think there is something else going on lol.

Well, Doom was written in C, so...
There are actually some approaches that makes smart contracts "upgradeable" but it involves using a special base class that proxies everything through delegate calls.

But yeah you're definitely right about the nature of the contracts being immutable, unless that immutable code contains some setter that delegates the function calls to some other contract.

ERC-721 (NFTs) actually has a nice way of dealing with sending NFTs to an incorrect address by checking if it implements a special interface if the recipient is a smart contract. But any measures come at the cost of extra gas so they are usually avoided.
Yes, it is cool. It's not like they're singling out an existing commercial entity and just showering tax dollars on them. They're getting the tech to the point where private companies can run with it.

You could chalk up a lot of what NASA had done over the past 50 years as "public funding for commercial interests". Are you against NASA too?

Spent three weeks in Tokyo for my honeymoon a few years ago. I know of no experience that for me can rival the type of joy of spending late nights in an arcade (not saying it’s the pinnacle, just a unique experience). Even my wife who is a non-gamer found it a thrill. Perhaps with the shut downs it will consolidate to a few profitable centers that can remain. Individuals can’t afford Dancerush Stardum or those gundam games.
On one hand you can tailor your bean-counting with fancy scripts that achieve exactly what you need. On the other hand you would need to spend probably lots of time writing and maintaining those scripts. Doesn't seem worth the hassle for the vast majority IMO.
Indeed, the answer is Rema. There may be some other brands that are as good, but Rema forms an actual chemical bond between the patch and the rubber of the tire. The vulcanizing fluid prepares the surface of the tube so it will bond to the patch. Better living through chemistry.

Everything else, check. Roughing up the patch area, waiting a few minutes for the vulcanizing fluid to dry, squeezing the patch for a few seconds after applying.

I've never had a problem with the little sandpaper that comes with the kit.
I'm not in that part of IT; what is WebPi in this context? My mind went to some RaspberryPi stack, but perhaps it is this instead? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Platform_Installer
I've never understood why bike manufacturers don't make it easier to look up parts by serial number. SRAM has done this right, you can search for parts based on s/n and it will give you exact specs (s/n is stamped onto the part). Their service manuals are also very well designed and free!

Careful. That is an 100% unofficial site. It is not chartered or funded by the EU. The linked article is from “Richie Koch”an editor working on human rights stories who wrote the article on behalf of Proton VPN, which runs the GDPR.eu site as a content marketing scheme. The linked article is not the law and not official guidance, though it provides a reasonably good summary.

Everything sqrt2 says in the comments is entirely correct, as far as I can tell.
It's like a Darwin award, but instead of removing yourself from existence, you're removing your life savings from existence.
There’s also “blue” which I’m the author of and looks similar: https://pypi.org/project/blue/ would love to get your help and thoughts in the issue tracker or by email.
I wouldn't. I've looked into it. There are lots of places where you can get a free place in the US. They're nice places, pretty, if you like being outside like me it's got a lot going for it. Still, I don't want to move to a place with nothing going on and bet on a town that may just get worse. And Kansas in particular, I wouldn't want to pay those taxes.

I did abandon cities though. Cities are sirens. They attract you with the promise of lots of economic and social activity, then you wind up locked on a treadmill full of people navigating around you like an obstacle. You wind up isolated, having to wait in traffic for extended periods to go anywhere, paying outrageous sums to live. The natural world is mostly dead in them. I can get Netflix and tinder and all that other virtual stuff anywhere, which seems to be all there is in cities anyway, plus when I go outside there are butterflies and fire flies and weird birds everywhere and people leave me alone about my business, they're not used to being packed like sardines so they don't navigate around you like an obstacle, they are usually eager to be friendly. And you can make a decent life happen with very little money.
Good idea, I will think about that.
But it also means over 2 hours of driving a day for a job. And if a kid wants to go to sports club, art club, visit friend or whatever, one parent has to drive him there that same distance every time.
Can't those who don't have children still influence other's children? Famous childless people include Rosa Parks, Arthur C. Clark, the Dali Lama, Edwin Hubble, Oprah, Angela Merkle, Bill Hicks, Dr. Seuss, T.S. Elliot and George Washington. Surely they influenced the future.
1) google won't know what site told the browser to do that.

2) this is probably more of a browser issue than a site issue.

3) the reason browsers dont complain about content coming from different domains is because the entire ad industry depends on that behavior. That may need to stop ;-)
Yeah including discriminating against all castes of South Asian students.
If existence is pointless except for procreation, what is our children's purpose? To have children, in order to have children, in order to have children? This is unbounded teleological recursion, unless you allow for a basis case in which any given life also has meaning for its own sake.

Myself, I hope for more for my own two children than just that they have children of their own some day, just as my parents didn't have me only in order that they might someday have great-great-grandkids they'll never meet

Culture and ideas transmit through channels parallel to heredity. Celibate monastic orders are one obvious example.

I want to live in a diverse culture for a reason analogous to why I'm wary of agricultural monocultures: All it takes is the right virus to come along, and all of a sudden we don't have any bananas anymore. There are some tragic failure modes associated with strong, cohesive, anti-"diverse" cultures.
Politically and culturally they are though, which matters in the context of long term migration patterns and political fallout.

I'm not making a moral judgement of those that cannot reproduce despite their desire to, and I have full heartfelt sympathy for them.

>more than one local bar

Valid, there are certainly less of these things. There is more diversity of space, nature, perhaps even social interactions with extended family that may live in one location.

Not if the money were say burned but at any rate, someone 'gets' them here, too - all holders' get the value of their eth proportionally increased because of the decreased amount of eth in circulation.
Yeah; some of the towns in the article are down to zero elementary schools. You're home schooling at that point, and with that few kids, I'm guessing there's no support network for the adults either.
Ability to move away, whether because you found better job or better location matter. And second house in place you don't care about is costing money on taxes and maintenance.
It's cool how they all call for trusted middlewares yet proving that trustles technologies are something no one's really looking for.
When I was a systems and network engineer I used a VMWare and GNS3 lab a lot for labbing out network scenarios and testing configs.

These days as a Red Teamer I use VMWare for setting up vulnerable virtual machines and entire Active Directory environments to lab out attack scenarios. Anything that needs to be on the public Internet, like a test vulnerability scanner, probably goes on AWS instead.
I use a very similar stack to host my personal website that contains a blog and a collection of other pages. Here are the similarities between my stack and that of the author of this post:

- No JavaScript except for loading MathJax only on those pages that contain mathematical equations.

- No cookies, no banners, no account creation, no ads, no affiliate links.

- All content and code is stored in a Git repository.

- The HTML files are served using Nginx.

- The website is hosted on a Debian system.

- No load balancer, no database, no cache server, etc.

However, there are some differences too. Here are the differences between my stack and that of the author of this post:

- All my content is written in plain HTML. Some of the content in my website goes back to 2001 when the obvious way to write content was in plain HTML. I know that Markdown can be easier to write and read and I do use Markdown for GitHub READMEs. However, for my website, I just stayed back with HTML.

- I have my own small Common Lisp program to generate the static HTML files. It picks all the content HTML files, puts them within a common HTML template to ensure headers and footers are consistent across pages, generates a blog post list page, generates RSS feeds, etc.

By the way, I use Emacs for editing HTML. Its HTML+ mode has a pretty good collection of key sequences for editing HTML. For example, the key sequence C-c 2 inserts "<h2></h2>" and places the cursor in between the tags so that I can start typing the heading immediately, C-C C-o enters an arbitrary tag along with its closing pair (if applicable) and places the cursor in between the tags, C-c C-e automatically closes any open tag, etc. These key sequences along with automatic indentation of nested HTML elements by Emacs does a really good job at making editing plain HTML very convenient.
So, you don’t recomend MetaMask to send tokens?
Which wallets/services would you recomend to avoid this situation?

Would binance not allow me to send WETH to that wallet?

Would any decentralized/centralized wallet be safer? Please tell me which?

Or should I not be sending tokens and just use coinbase and binance non-centralized features?
The opposite of diversity is not coherent, it is myopia. Groups lacking diversity lack fresh insight and allow opportunities for stereotype and intolerance to grow. I've encountered exactly this in dozens of Midwestern suburbs. I grew up in a town and school district where our class had "the black kid", "the Latino kid", "the Vietnamese girl" and so on surrounded by hundreds of white kids. The misinformation was real, and the opportunity to talk to someone and dispel those beliefs was low. University offered a chance to fix some of that, but my former classmates who never left town are bye and large a bunch of bigots. On the other hand, people I knew who were raised in diverse areas learned much broader perspectives and manage to incorporate new view points more easily.

I think it's a mix. Some of it is Ethereum specific and some is pretty standard across all blockchains that support smart contracts.

Most Python programmers will struggle with the lack of comparable functionality in the standard C lib. How do you tell a Python programmer that in C to use sets or a hash or a dictionary, that you need to implement them yourself or find a third party library? Also, how do you explain the C compile-link-run process to a Python programmer who only knows that Python just runs? A lot of basics are missing in C and in Python Programmers.

Maybe guide them to C++ for standard template library equivalence. But then you have another ocean of pain because C++ is the kitchen sink.
> But also, just don't write unsafe? It's very easy to avoid.

Yeah, there's a weird subset of developers who insist on mixing unsafe and safe code even when they're presented equally performant, safe alternatives. One such example was the Actix framework, where the lead dev refused to merge any fixes for his unsafe code. Eventually, so many merge requests showed up to fix his broken code that he just gave up the project altogether and let the community take over.

If you want to write unsafe code, I think that's perfectly fine, but Rust is not going to cater to your desires. C and C++ will give you the tools you need with the conveniences you want.
Chemistry takes some initiative these days, but the dark age after the golden age of chemistry sets is pretty much over.

Mining, I dunno, buy a shovel? Hobby prospecting - sluicing and panning for gold, mostly - was still a thing in the rural west when I was a kid. I'd bet you could find a forum or something if you searched.

Process engineering, I don't know what you'd want to do as a hobbyist.

Mechanical engineering - 3d printers and chinese machine tools are affordable. It's never been easier to buy small parts and fasteners. The free finite element simulation packages are getting pretty good.
Well continental philosophy is currently turning the western world on its head so I don't think there will be reconciliation any time soon.
Talking about "real issues" doesn't always work.

A few years ago, a director at my organization said at an all-hands meeting that he viewed "tech debt is a debt we never have to pay and have no interest on". In one swoop, he told the entire organization that technology concerns are not valid.

People have been complaining for years using specific issues. We could point at times that important services went down. We could point at full time operations people who have to babysit applications. We could point at failed initiatives. The bi-annual company survey always has "we're fighting the same fires" in the top issues.

I suppose the issue with talking about tech debt to non-technical people is that they don't care. It doesn't affect them. At least not directly, like it does for developers.
You can use pandoc to get html+mathml, which renders in Firefox with no JS.

Chrome users can get an extension to render the mathml. Or you can add mathjax to your page, but I don't bother.
Large shop floors like 30M sq ft industrial parks are trivial engineering, not anything at all like a large nuclear reactor. Even check out the pictures here, this is the simpler stuff, the big pieces. The tubing pulling it all together is insanely more complex:

https://www.postandcourier.com/business/vc_summer_nuclear_pr...

Similarly, the military reactors are not of the same size, cost efficiency, fuel source, or manufacture as civilian reactors. People always bring them up, but if it's so easy to do the same thing in the civilian sphere, why didn't Westinghouse or literally anybody else do it?

There are so many deep dives into the failures at VC Summer now, and not a single one of them says there's some regulatory switch that could be flipped.

What is this particular tether made of paper holding back nuclear? If it's a regulation, name it. I've looked, and looked, and found none. Yet you still haven't even talked about the most relevant nuclear experience, that of the past 15 years in the US and Europe.

You have strong intuition and feelings, but can you back them up with some documentation?
I've done this with gnucash, which isn't exactly the same but similarly unusual to them.

What I found was that unless you are using the same back end, most of them were going to re-enter everything anyways as they want to double check. So it was more important to have the accounts & conventions they expected, rather than the actual software.

In my case, the data entry cost was about < 10% of my bill, so moving to the same software as them wouldn't be a big saving.

I've not used beancounter, so I'm not sure how much (if any) work would be needed to get the same support I had in gnucash. Mostly the complexities of invoicing and taxes in multiple countries and currencies, payroll, etc. One big issue potentially is you'll need to be able to produce proper financial statements for your jurisdiction (at least, countries I'm used to). Not sure if/how that is supported out of the box so might be some work.
At least in Japan, the arcades are being transferred to another company and will remain open.
"It would be stupid to put these checks in the contract, they would be very expensive and only help people using unsuitable client software. "

You feel all client software will be suitable?

I don't. There is NO WAY. Lots of people will do ANYTHING for a bit of margin, hoping for volume.
Thank you for posting this. I was reconsidering writing a response to that, but you phrased it very well.

An excellent eye opening article I have read about this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/N2pENnTPB75sfc9kb/outside-th... which discusses scientists believing in religion. The arguments also apply to any rational person who forms beliefs based on evidence which I would say is a necessary property to be intelligent. Hence it irks me when someone says "intelligent people believe in god too"

Nit pick: GDPR is written in terms of people "in the Union", not citizens.

Not in my experience.; in small towns, you get to know everybody. In big cities, you pass through the streets like a ghost unless you make a real effort to escape your comfort zone. Move to a little town, and you're forcibly escaped from your comfort zone as soon as the clerk at the grocery store sees you twice and starts a conversation with you, and you find out his wife is one of your kid's new teachers.
