Space Trader.

I played that one before I knew what "Narcotics" meant, and I quickly found out why the police were so interested in my cargo.

There was also a game... Village Sim I think. You'd spend hours building up a village on a desert island (which ran persistently), hoping there were more people born by tomorrow morning. Only to find that a tornado had struck the island and all had perised except a single elderly man.
Yeah, I think that the Fermi Paradox can be pretty easily explained: the universe is fucking huge.

Those who talk about the feasibility of alien life visiting us very simply haven't thought it through, or are ignorant of the reality of space.

It's just too staggeringly big.
That's a slippery slope argument if I've ever seen one.
You can read directly linked tweets or the first few posts of a Twitter page but as soon as you interact with the page or try to navigate elsewhere, you get prompted for a login.

So technically they're not preventing access, but they nag you incessantly after you've scrolled past the fold.
It seems like 1:5000 is not an accurate probability, but just a number which he chose in order to convince himself that sleeping under a tree was not a risky activity. But he chose a bad number and later realized that an argument based on that number was not convincing.

If the chance was actually 1:5000, the longevity of trees would be similar to that of hunters sleeping under them - or lower, since hunters can sometimes avoid the hazard, but trees are exposed to it every night (and all day as well). Actual data on tree mortality seems to indicate that the chances are much lower than this. Almost certainly they do not make sleeping under trees a significant risky activity.
Sorry, which videos? I mean it really, I'm from EU and have never found one. To watch some videos I have to login but have never ever asked me for a credit card that I recall. I'd like to know.
% is used in C style format strings, which are famously a source of footguns.
They must either be shorting it (in which case please show me your portfolio) or think that the market will be irrational and the prize won't go down (in which case please define what "fair value" means in this case and why I should care how volatile Bitcoin is in comparison to gold)
I've heard a different story... https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/08/nvidias-acquisition-of-arm-s...

What I've heard is that "delay" means China wasn't happy about ARM possibly being used in the next US-China trade quarrel.
This is the tech company profit center vs. traditional business cost center distinction, no?
I made a very pretty retro control panel for Kerbal Space Program a few years back, and made a nice writeup on my personal website about it, hosted from a low power Intel baytrail based server I keep in my garage. It got picked up by hackaday, then popular mechanics and a few other similar sites, and hacker news. I vaguely recall my upload rate was about 5 Mbps at the time, and my connection was quite saturated for a few days. The page has half a dozen jpg photos, so I suspect that was the bulk of the data.
It depends on what your threat model is.

For example, my VPN is based in Thailand. For various legal reasons, it's very unlikely anything obtained by a nation-state actor in Thailand will be used for trivial stuff like, say, enforcing copyright legislation against individual consumers. Defense lawyers / barristers would have a field day. If you are planning terrorist acts, on the other hand...

It’s ridiculous to imagine having to pay 50k a year every year before university and think that is a normal way of life.

One might as well put that money in a savings account, move to a country with better public education, then give that money to the kid when they get their first job.
I've found the blog post, everything looks exactly like needed - we can have TemporalIO style workflows just out of the box. Could you send a link to the github thread?
Ha! Funny, I've never considered it even though it's so incredibly obvious: the spacecraft needs to be able to slow down out of light speed. That might honestly be even harder than getting up to light speed, and that of course is almost certainly impossible.

Imagine the "runway" you would need. How many lightyears would it take just to slow down? And that's before you even consider how some sort of reverse propulsion mechanism would even begin to turn on without tearing the ship apart in a microsecond.
Wanted to look at some statistics and it seems according to Google Trends the search term for "Tattoo Parlour" seems to have peaked at around 2005 (as far back as I could go).
> the public has a right to access official government communications on social media.

IANAL, but I do work in the public sector and my customers do have to make data public. This does not mean that anywhere they choose to post links to documents has to help out. It means they need their own site to post documents. It also can mean that documents are offline, but FOIA-able. Frankly, in the small town that I live in, some documents are still tacked to a bulletin board in the park.

So yes, documents have to be public, but no, it is not the responsibility of Twitter to ensure those regulations are met.

That being said, I do agree that Twitter is making "interesting" choices. Just not illegal ones.
You're really betting your net worth with odds of say
p 0.995 = net worth - insurance payment

Yep, that's why I am planning on getting rid of them completely. I did a quick test this morning, seems like removing references to the fonts from the theme and adjusting some font weights should do the trick.
I'm quite certain the dev teams here did ask themselves this.

And decided it was worth it. (If my experience told me anything: Probably under some pressure of marketing or C-level)
I mean “big enough to sleep under” is around 50+ years for most hardwoods IIRC. Also, you have to consider groups of trees that can fall on you in the surrounding area. So it’s really the probability that a tree falls within any given 50m radius, towards the center. I think the stated probability is pretty accurate. Also as humans, we tend to pick trees that provide the best shelter, thus older. From experience, if one of those big older branches decide to fall, you don’t want to be underneath. As a kid, a huge oak tree lost a huge branch right in front of me. It scared the crap out of my 8yr old self, so much that I still remember it quite vividly, it would have killed my brother and I if we hadn’t just moved out of the area. The limb looked perfectly healthy btw, green and all. There was no indicating factors, according to the adults at the time.
> upon my discovery of pattern matching.

How is Erlang's pattern matching different from ML-like pattern matching? I only know Elixir, which is more or less the same as ML.
Also true. Mental boxes are mental boxes.

I wouldn’t discount alternative environments for stimulating latent or dorment parts of a person, but you certainly have a good point about the perennial capacity for self transformation
Why does the tech stack matter?
I read that some companies do not allow the use of Zoom.
Do you have any ideas or advice on how these products should be developed instead?

Sorry if that came off as antagonistic. I think I actually agree with the overall sentiment that luck and popularity shouldn't be barriers to healthcare, but experimentation is a necessary part of the process. And at the very least, luck is inherent to experimentation.
Let's first see if you can even keep using the same make of antenna before replacing it with a new model for 5 years

That was common in CVS; there was a macro that'd expand into the entire changelog when you checked files out.

Porn and gambling (and possibly more - we filter and block 18+ sites, as classified by the BBFC British Board of Film Classification) is blocked on mobile data connections - as far as I can recall this has been the situation since the turn of the century.

In effect, this proposal already exists for mobile data connections. Add this to what is enabled by the snoopers charter, and the use of this information accross governement and it is a pretty grim state.
I had an old Windows machine with 2 drives (C and D of course). I wanted to use it for Linux but keep the old system. I moved all of D into a directory on C, but obviously all the old paths would be wrong. But it turns out that tinkering with the registry I could declare the new folder as D!

I wonder what would happen if you called it A or B?
Try running "zdb |grep ashift" and confirm that it's 12 (or even higher for SSDs). The default used to be 9 which killed IOPS on non-ancient HDDs that have 2^12 byte sectors and have to read-modify-write anything smaller than a sector.

“i3, 1600MHz RAM” sounds like a laptop. Are you doing anything funky like using USB HDD enclosures?

Also try comparing the number, size, and latency of IO operations submitted to ZFS vs the same stats for IO submitted to the disks with https://github.com/iovisor/bcc

Once you figure out what layer (application? VFS/cache? file system? IO elevator? HBA? disk firmware?) the performance drop is happening on, it should be trivial to fix.
I think you misread that. Elon Musk IV is the given name. Her full name is Elon Musk IV Musk. The same way Mario's and Luigi's full names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

Her friends call her IV.
> five years..or life. You'd be crazy not to take the deal, even if you're innocent.

To boot, mounting a good defence against the state doesn't cheap. Competent defence attorneys charge quite some money.

In this instance however, it's safe to assume the accused can afford a good legal team/firm.
No, it's not a Google thing. It was mandated by the EU. https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/using-technology-more-c...
If I had to guess, probably quite a bit. I doubt the battery cells or the electronics would hold up under hard vacuum.

I recall a story posted here that if you put an iPhone in helium it will break the MEMS components inside of it and it will fail to boot, and that's still at 1 atmosphere.
I have no allergies, so I can't imagine how that is. However, I had a back injury 3 years ago. I thought it'd heal fast but I got to the point of being afraid to carry my backpack when traveling somewhere. The chance of having an incredibly sharp pain makes me fear almost any kind of activity.

I also put off traveling before and now I regret not doing it while I was physically able to walk/hike around for hours on end.

I did physical therapy, swimming etc to make it feel better, but by now it's clear it will never improve past a certain point.

So yeah, travel while you can :)
I wonder whether these private schools are a net benefit to the country.

In recent generations, I have not really noticed that UK as a whole has been particularly innovative relative to its European peers.

It sometimes feel the whole fancy school system in Britain is just a way to maintain an immutable social hierarchy rather than actually making the country more competitive globally.
Maybe they are referring to the fact that Telegram rolled their own cryptographic protocol that had a vulnerability that was fixed with a cryptic message [1] and still has some dubious choices [2]. I am not a cryptographer by any measure, so I don't whether there was a reason why they didn't pick an existing protocol like OTR. But, it doesn't make sense to me that they didn't switch to another protocol that is audited several times but released a second version of their protocol with the same criticisms.

This is not true – AFAIK literally every major mobile provide offers this as a simple on-off toggle in their app or on their account management site.
And SSS also allows n out of m.
ICOs, now there's a word I haven't heard in a long time.
Obviously, medical experiments should only be done on the poorest and neediest segment of the population. There's no way to spin THAT as exploitative. ;D

I'm pretty sure that it was the leader of the opposition who was photographed drinking beers with his colleagues during lockdown, and everyone seems to have bought the claim that was work related and therefore legal. Boris and his colleagues were drinking wine. The big reason that he's on his 9th and last political life is increasingly cynical attacks on him over the handling of Covid - for context, one of the most recent ones is accusing him of "wasting" billions of pounds on PPE because the government ended up buying more PPE than it actually ended up using and the price dropped since then. The consequences of undereestimating this or overestimating future availability are of course that doctors and nurses don't have the protection they need, and there were a bunch of earlier attacks on the government for not having a massive PPE stockpike (which would waste billions on PPE that'd just be thrown away). Even the nominally trusted and non-political BBC, which everyone thinks of as a government mouthpiece, ran with this and all the other attack lines, including stuff like lying about what South Korea had achieved with contact tracing to make the UK scheme sound like an expensive failure and Boris's bragging about it like lies. It's impossible to disentangle the anger over the parties from the misinformation people have been fed about the UK's Covid response; they seem closely intertwined in most people's thinking.

To give some further idea of how cynical all this is, the people who actually organised the supposed parties which are supposed to end Boris' career - the vast majority of which he doesn't even seem to have been involved in - are just scapegoats according to the media reporting, including the BBC. And at least one of the claimed parties Boris was involved was actually reported by a major newspaper the day after, back when lockdown was still on and people's relatives were still dying alone in hospital, and no-one seemed to conclude it was obviously an illegal party or even really care back then - and that was the one for Boris's birthday.
If you say you're going to do this often enough, and keep getting thwarted for whatever reason, eventually you won't have much credibility with anyone.
No it hasn't. If you read the latest relies (including mine) in the thread, you'll notice that CMD/SHIFT + tap is still broken, at least on the 14". I'm on the latest 12.3 beta too.
I see it differently, I think articles like are important by making people aware of solutions like these which will speed up the time needed to get them to people not as fortunate to have access to them now. More awareness means more people will work towards making the solution, lowering their cost.

But there’s a multifaceted you there.

It’s pretty hard to reach your potential as a surf champion if you stay where you were born in Minnesota.

It’s pretty hard to become a social butterfly in a culture that disapproves of your sexual orientation.

It’s pretty hard to become a nuclear physicist if you only stay in the farm and study animal husbandry.

Our evolution was not a straight line. We could stay in bacterial form for a couple of billion years if not the great oxygenation event, or have a couple of billions of years of advantage if it happened that earlier. The evolution from simple marine life to us happened in an instant compared to pre-O2 era.

The mechanism is not the problem, it's that it turns on the mic by default. Most Zoom users are not in the luxury position of being in a location with a presentation room where they might need to present something, so for most people this is just an unnecessary feature and a possible nuisance. So this setting should by default be turned off (it can still work when the mic is turned on already).
This is a more specific instance of something more general: new things are more exciting in the short term.

Someone else commented below about the hedonic treadmill.

Travel is what creates unique experiences in people because traveling is a rare thing for people in general.

When I toured we had 220-230 shows a year, everyday in a different place. I did it for 5 years.
It's hard now to even tell one year from the other.

I surely made great stories, but most of them are foggy nowadays.

Most unique experiences I have left of that time are either global events, I shared the merchandise stand with Nick Alexander the merch manager of EODM the night before he was brutally killed in the Bataclan attack, or too important to forget, like one of the crew members having a baby and rushing him to the airport so he could be there on time.
> why don't they just keep it to themselves and short btc

If one does a bunch of research that indicates that a stock will increase in value, it is common to buy the stock then publish the research. Anyone swayed by the assessment may buy the stock increasing its value.

The same logic applies to shorting a stock.
DPDK Lib is good when you want to have user space app working with the IO bypassing the kernel. however it may greatly harm the system performance in the cases when kernel thread will hook the CPU resources and throw away you user space thread. This can introduce milliseconds of latency in your routing path. Also one question do you think to support L3 PFC support ? This is very important in the infrastructures where number of nodes > 1K.

It's very late and I don't have the energy to look up the math, but:

Assuming you're traveling at light speed across the Milky Way, a distance of 100,000 light years, the trip would take 100,000 years for the person traveling, no? I wonder then how long it would be for everyone left on Earth. Millions of years?
Sure. It's a lot easier when I can swing open a Facebook/Google Ad (etc) account and show you the actual data. I have tried having this conversation online before and people literally say things like 'you're just a shill how can we trust anything you say', as if I would post this sort of thing in bad faith?

It's so weird. Anyway, let me have a go. Initial points:

- Lots of marketing is full of rubbish and smoke and mirrors. This does not mean that ALL marketing is full of rubbish and smoke and mirrors.

- Many companies have marketing 'as a function', but other companies have marketing as quite literally their only source of revenue. These companies would know that digital marketing doesn't work as they wouldn't have revenue. It is that simple.

- I have never worked for a CEO that has accepted smoke and mirrors as answers, and I would never work for a CEO like that. The CEO of my company has a Stanford PhD in Physics. He was one of those child geniuses you used to see in the newspaper, before you stopped reading newspapers. This guy is not an idiot.

Some marketing - a lot of marketing - cannot be directly attributed to revenue, but we know it works. How? Because we can, and do run isolated tests of that exact tactic and test if it works in isolation.

Take the example of banner ads. I have run them in isolation (ie - I have run campaigns where literally the ONLY way you could have known this information was to see a banner ad) and have achieved spectacular results despite noone ever clicking on the ad. (People emailed and called asking to take up the offer.)

I have also have achieved horrifically bad results. Same tactics, but everything else was different - audience, market, placement, product being sold etc.

Every product has a better or worse way of being marketed. It takes a TON of experience to learn how to adapt; many junior marketers think they're experts because they crush it in one job, and then go to the next job and have the exact same tactics fail. Why? Because business is hard. Marketing is about so much more than just running ads.

I run marketing right now for a very young startup. A year ago, we were adding around $5-15k in ARR each month (we only bill annually.) Now, we are adding around $80-100k in new ARR each month. Our marketing spend, inc salaries, is around $40k/m and our sales are growing wayy faster than our marketing spend. The results would be even better if I could convince my CEO to raise our prices.

(I can't complain - at least I got an unsolicited salary increase a few months ago.)

Marketing is the only form of lead generation for us. So much so that I had to plead with the CEO and head of sales to stop relying on my function and to go out and actually set up proper outbound sales processes.

Just because Uber's head of marketing was dropping - and wasting - hundreds of millions on programmatic advertising, doesn't make us all idiots.

/endrant.

(oh. One last thing. This is really the cherry on top: our market is devs. We're literally marketing to devs.)
Amphetamines at therapeutic doses are safe and neuroprotective (and even prevent substance abuse), but if you're abusing them "for energy" that's not a therapeutic dose.

If you're doing that, what you actually need is 8+ hours sleep, proper sunlight and exercise, a sleep apnea check, and then maybe buy adrafinil off the internet (where legal).
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5GDrJEGkVk

I suppose if you have verified your age in the past (for example if you bought something from the play store?) then you can watch the video freely. Try and watch it while logged off.
I always wondered if our passion for travel has deeper roots.
Maybe it comes from our ancestral need to move to greener pastures in search for food and better climate.
Sometimes we prefer go for long hikes, some others to stop and chill in enjoyable temperatures, close to water from sea, rivers or lakes.
All of this makes me think that deep inside we are at least partially still nomad creatures.
This would be interesting for the blue / green bubble debate. When you send an emoji, you send an MMS...
I use Firefox as my main browser, and Brave as my secondary. Safari might be blazingly fast but unfortunately I rely on a lot of extensions that don't exist on Safari. And I rely on Firefox's containers too. :)
Nobody I know gives a shit that it's not E2E encrypted. It's a kick ass instant messenger, that's all that matters to most people. Vastly superior to Signal and others in almost every way.
As to your first point, the police have completed an investigation into the beer in question and found no offence committed, so it's not the same as the 12 (IIRC) parties that happened at 10 downing street, currently under investigation by the met.
