At 320 EeV, the OMG particle is over 5 orders of magnitude more than 1.4 PeV. It's a completely nuts amount if energy to have in a single particle: about the same as a decently moving baseball. From the particle's frame, it takes only a day to go a billion light years.

Thanks. This helps. While Chained Income grew sevenfold, median income grew by a factor of 1.5 from 1975 to today.

While for one 1975 dollar you would need to invest 5.22 today's dollars because of inflation [1].

So today the median income has massively less buying power compared to 1975 while chained dollars still outgrew the inflation.

Not yet sure what to make of this, but it might not be the success story.

How would one "accidentally" wire transfer millions of dollars? At $10k in America, KYC and AML laws force banks to step through extra layers of verification to wire such amount. It's virtually impossible for someone to accidentally wire millions, which would likely involve a mandatory in-person meeting with the bank customer to verify their credentials and purpose.

If somehow you get through an in-person meeting with a bank branch manager to unwittingly wire millions of dollars, and the topic of how much money you're wiring and the exact purpose of wiring such a high amount isn't brought up, and you somehow still accidentally wire millions of dollars away without anyone ever bringing up the amount and purpose of the transaction, then I'm sure you'll still be able to recover that money back because banks are required to actually validate transactions of that size with KYC, AML, etc. laws. Only cryptocurrencies allow one the ability transmit this amount of money in seconds.

This seems to be vocabulary invented by a specific app (probably to sound cool by association, because of Proof of Stake), described in the screenshot here: https://twitter.net/thomasg_eth/status/1492663229784408065

As far as I understand, it's just a synonym for "lending" here. They even use the word "leasing" for the people on the other side.

Bitcoin does not have a single defining feature that would make it more resilient to dedicated government intervention than any other crypto. The only thing that makes bitcoin "special" in the crypto world is that it's currently the biggest and most well known, but both of those factors could easily change in a year or ten.

As for the ever-popular "research more" response, everything I ever read about it is that the whole thing is so incredibly volatile mostly because of the massive (over)use of leverage by speculators. In any case, even if there would be a valid reason for the volatility that still makes it unsuitable as a reserve currency. The whole point of a reserve currency is to be stable and bitcoin is anything but.

C and C++ introduce new keywords all the time, by prefixing them with "_" and a capital letter. If you want the nice spelling you need to use a header. E.g. "_Complex". "co_await" etc are operators.
If Pixsy really does copyright troll people, then they will continue to do so unless someone picks up the crusade as you call it. Arguably building an email/forum/phonecall spam filter or fighting more serious offenses like over prescribing dangerous drugs, or nursing homes that take control of their residents assets and sell them is just crusading as well. Unethical or outright criminal people usually don't stop in the absence of consequences.
I love this! I made a black box back in HS...

My favorite "hack" (I didnt hack anything, I was 12 when this happened) :

Latch-Key-Kid growing up in the mid 80s, lake tahoe...

Parents get me a calling card from MCI in case I ever need to call them...

I hadn't started smoking pot yet, and I had a photographic memory at the time. I had that number memorized instantly.

At first I used it only when I needed to... after not too long I realized we weren't receiving a bill in the mail. I used that card FOR SIX YEARS before it stopped working, Never once received a bill.

I also had a Captain Crunch Whistle, but I was unfamiliar with 'Captain Crunch' at the time I had it...

---

Back then, my best Friend Morgan (who we grew up in tech together) had a 411 game that we played...

We would call 411, and have a ontest on how long we could keep the OP on the phone and how much info we could social engineer out of them by asking where they were, how many OPs in the call center, and anything else -- we were still too stoopid to be actually getting any actionable intel from 411 - it was simply just how long we could keep them on the phone...

That year, we ran up a $926 long distance bill calling into PCLink and a BBS in San Jose to play trade wars and The Pit... [Grounded for a month]

Which might not actually be that much in some parts of the world. For real. A few million is nice but that doesn’t even get you a house in nice places.

I've always preferred to shunt such analytics work over to a query replica dedicated to the purpose so the people doing analytics can generally only interfere with each other.

Whether that's a viable answer in any given situation is of course highly variable, but even if the analytics queries are my own hand-rolled SQL it's still my preference any time it -is- viable if nothing else so I don't have to worry as much about screwing up and taking too many locks / using too few indices while I'm iterating on the query in question.

Just linking my own comment (for others) with the inflation numbers for the same period being a factor of 5.2 times.

It depends on the exchange. Some are peer to peer and some trade from their hot wallet.
No-one is better off concentrating power in a centralized authority with the scale and (lack of) accountability of Facebook.

Specialization doesn't come into it, although it is worth observing: your comment presupposes that in order to benefit from specialization, one must subject themself to exploitation.
Were they on dexes or cexes? If centralized, don’t you get Tex reports? If not centralized, how will they ever know the extent of the trades?
The port number is one field in a TCP or UDP packet. When you listen, you register with the operating system (or whatever controls the network card, I guess) saying that you want a particular port. When a packet comes in (on the network card), it will be routed to you (on your socket) if it's addressed to you (by including a port number you're registered for).

You can think of the port number as the second half of your IP address. As far as the networking goes, an IP address and a port number are basically the same thing. The port number is just the lower bits of the "combined IP address".

Absolutely. We often judge Presidents as though the state of the country today was defined by their decisions yesterday. Or even by their predecessors a few months or years ago.

And they shouldn't avoid blame! They are in the most powerful seat in the US government.

But at the same time, economic timescales are lengthy, and often more than 4 or 8 years.

I get why: because the people pushing that framing are doing so as political PR (positive or negative). But we shouldn't confuse the inaccurate framing with the underlying truth.
> Of course an issue tracker isn't a discussion forum, but a good project team would have taken an extra couple of seconds to point issue reporters and commenters to an FAQ answer (assuming they had an answer that would withstand scrutiny).

I don't know what your experience with FOSS development is. I still have fairly little and only with low-profile projects, and yet I've already been accused of many things and spent (wasted?) quite some time in pointless arguments. This issue is exacerbated in high-profile projects such as Signal, and it's impossible to deal with them as you're suggesting.

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues currently has close to 10000 issues (most of them closed). Signal does not have that many people to deal with what is mostly noise. There are explanations about their stances regarding F-Droid etc. if you're willing to look for them. In any case these questions belong to the community forum. Most of the duplicates are opened in bad faith, and there are diminishing returns in answering all of them. I recommend you "watch all activity" on one of the Signal client repository and check your GitHub notifications to understand the problem.

> Anyway, my point is that despite the supposed merits of centralisation, people had to beg (and be met with silence) before the project deigned to grant this reasonable request. This is not the sort of permissionless innovation that free software is supposed to enable.

You're talking about their development model (which is rather closed, a very high bar has to be reached for them to accept community contributions) rather than the fact that they're using a centralized rather than federated network. The article is about the latter, not the former. These issues are orthogonal.
It is a solution for AJAX requests to the same problem that CSRF tokens solve for html forms.

Imagine a user is logged into facebook, and visits legitimate website X, which has been hacked to inject malicious script Y.

Malicious script Y makes a bunch of API calls to Facebook; since the user has been logged in, the Facebook cookies are sent along with the request by the browser. Malicious site Y could delete your posts, make you join pro-Nazi pages, or exfiltrate your network.

With CORS in place, the requests would be denied, because API requests can be set up to reject any requests that are not from a specific list of domains.

This is a bad example, because Facebook doesnt rely just on cookies, and in fact does have an SDK for making API requests from third party sites. The principle remains, however, if that were not the case, then CORS would be one possible remedy to the problem.
Honestly, I'm not too worried about this.

Even if the "wrong thing" is banned, this is a ban on certain types of advertising, not something that restricts your ability to buy (or sell) these things.
It seems to me that an instrument that uses tuned mettal bars like a Glockenspiel should be incredible resilient. As long as it is protected from rust it should stay in tune basicly forever. Also packs super small.

If you are after something more Piano like then a Celesta would be a good bet, it’s basically a cross between a Piano and a Glockenspiel.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celesta

Do not dismiss a normal piano though, a steal frame piano should stay in tune for a considerable time under stable temperature and low humidity. Should be achievable in a bunker.

It's true that Cash Flow and Income Statement is used more often to assess financial goal achievement, but I don't think we can discard Balance Sheets.

Does Minecraft count? What other MMOs are people playing and why don't they come close? I've dabbled in some post-WoW MMOs over the years and they are no less "shared" and "persistent" than WoW—they're basically the same thing.

Tibia and Ultima were brutal games that can't really compete in the sea of choices people have in modern gaming. Just look how many games reduce any sort of grindy or hardcore mechanics they had in an attempt to appeal to a wider, modern audience instead of just the few people who want and have time for a more hardcore experience.

I saw an interview with one of the high level people involved in the modern Pokemon games who said as much when asked about the complaints of the modern Pokemon games being easier and less grindy and less complicated.

Should modern MMOs always cater to a wider audience than a smaller one? Well, just imagine you were the one bankrolling such an expensive, risky project.
I was so confused :) "Is the stand doing computations??"
Your requirements are contradictory and incomplete:

- No single language can do all of that successfully, unless you ditch GUI and client-server models
- Without external dependencies you will either be reinventing the wheel or adding lots of layers
- All software will require maintenance, more layers equal more maintenance
- All software can be compromised or hacked, more layers equal more attack surface
- If it has to last a long time, it cannot use anything that moves fast (or without LTS releases), but it depends on what you define by 'last' and 'a long time'

This doesn't mean your question is stupid, it's just not something that is simple and resilient while also being those other things.

If it is a single-user, single-machine "app", you could use a plain UTF-8 text file which can be read and written to by any relevant text editor. No app is the best app in this case. This does depend in what kind of information you intend to CRUD.
> one instance of a person who is smart and not happy

This premise does not lead to this conclusion:

> Stupid people are happier then smart people.

Which is your first sentence and seemingly the thesis of the first comment.

> Kids are generally stupider than adults.

Yes, granted this may be true but my point is there are also a lot of differences between kids and adults independent of intelligence. Ones that can quite obviously affect happiness. Such as, say, social pressure or other obligations.

I can rewrite your first comment as:
"Loners are happier than social people. Look at kids. Kids have less social obligations than adults. They're also happier. So if anything that proves that social obligations don't make you happy and it hints at the possibility that not having social obligations actually makes you happy."

and this is an equally valid conclusion as the one you came up with (thus both are kind of meaningless).

If they were doing it as a publicity stunt to get their contributions noticed? Then yes, I think there is a good argument for doing so because of moral hazard. Doing otherwise incentivizes undesirable behavior in the other people who have made similar contributions but haven't achieved infamy.

I'm deeply confused as to why people are downvoting this - maybe it's not a suitable answer for many use cases (it doesn't look like it'd be my thing most of the time, certainly), but I'm aware of enough very happy ReTool users to assume it must be useful for at least a decent subset.

Can somebody please explain why they consider this to've been a terrible answer?

I've gone through 3 or 4 computers in the last 20 years and I can sell the computer on to a retro enthusiast, and not only will they know what it is, but they will pay for it.

But then, I've only ever bought Thinkpads, which more or less hold their appreciation value across time.

Not to mention, it's also 10, maybe 100 times the utility, as well.

If you want to maximize your potential losses, that’s a great idea.
Huh? Tell me that when you're painting the underside of a desk for 5 coats on a concrete shop floor and you don't have the clearance to sit up. Try installing a toilet when you have just enough crawl space next to the water inlet line to fit 3 handspans. Try sitting in the bed of a truck in the summer heat making sure that your ratchets are tied properly. As someone who grew up in a blue collar area, RSI is extremely common. Tennis elbow, worn knees, hip problems, back issues. That kind of hard labor is easy until your mid 20s and then turns more into a liability than exercise. You can always run on a treadmill to lose weight, but no amount of running will repair your knee.
It is because Amazon dog-fooded their own technology stack. This forced them to have a better interface to their infrastructure, which in turn made it easy to open to the public. Google on the other hand, hid behind their own complexity and let engineers feel stupid for not knowing Borg like the back of their hand.

Yes but, not sure this is a fair comparison. Doesn't ACH transactions take 1 to 2 business days to settle by design, as they are processed in batch and go through an intermediate clearing house ?

Venmo/PayPal/Fedwire transactions should be able to settle in real time, which can be more convenient at the expense of easy reversability
I can't speak for Americans, but I'm sure to some extent Xi Jinping (that's who you meant right?) is railroaded by the existing situation of the PRC. That of course doesn't magically make him not responsible for things done by China under his control - for say, Hong Kong's "National Security Law", or the attempted expansion of Chinese control in the South China Sea not to mention the Uighurs, but it's also not as though he seized power one afternoon and China's policies changed overnight to reflect his personal preferences. We are a product of our society.

For example China can't just wake up on a Tuesday morning and become a thriving modern industrialised democracy. Even if Xi Jinping desperately wanted that (and I've no reason to think he does) it can't be done, so there's a huge gap between what you might wish and what these leaders can actually do with their power. Do you think that East Timor would have been stopped if Gerald Ford had won the 1976 election instead of Carter? Would he have picked up the phone and said "Sorry, changed my mind, if you don't pack up and leave East Timor I will bomb you into the stone age"? No?

Lots of countries tacitly supported Indonesia. Australia basically wanted to split the loot, which is in some sense morally worse than selling them arms; the UK sold guns and military aircraft to Indonesia during the fighting; India argued that such invasions are legitimate (and like the US it closed its eyes to the torture, rape and murder) because of its own history of such de-colonial activities. Lots of blame to go around so far as I can see. Carter deserves some share of that blame.
