Bitcoin will not eliminate the need to own physical property - like cars, real estate, companies, etc.
Bitcoin will actually expand war.
Today you have a military to fight to protect your physical property. The strongest currency typically has the strongest military.
Bitcoin (and crypto) will expand property into the digital realm.
So now you will need a larger military to protect with force physical property AND digital property.

That's true, but there's also a hypothesis that kids freeze quicker because of their lower body mass, which may make them shut down more uniformly with less damage. Which means thawing them out has a better chance of success.
it's just experimentation - you can start with 2 - you can start with 1 - doesn't matter much - you just need to find the result of what works quickly - 1 is easier to start with - 2 might be over optimization - run the test and check the conversion then decide - you probably don't know enough yet to know what is better - more testing needed - get comfortable with utm - :=)

It seems like the natural next step would be "automatically deploy countermeasures while you still have [some threshold] remaining, then revert to manual below that," but I can also see how needing to train pilots in two or more different modes starts to pile up complexity costs and maybe leads to more mistakes compared to a simpler system.

I'm happy to see research done, wish these researchers nothing but the best, and do expect a lot of marvelous and useful discoveries to be made.

However, I suspect that science will run in to hard limits regarding the deepest questions that contact with these substances raise -- such as the fundamental mystery they often reveal that is ineffable, transverbal and non-conceptual.

These questions are more aptly addressed by philosophy and religion, and I expect that after an initial phase of medical and hard-science attempts to engage with the experiences these substances occasion (attempts that the highly rational and in some ways science-worshipping society demands before these substances can be legalized), most people's engagement will move to a religious and religio-medical model (or call it "spiritual" if you don't like the word "religious").

Psychedelics have shown to be catalysts for starting religions, occasioning mystical experiences, and converting people.. and these tendencies will only increase as psychedelic use becomes more popular. New religions will sprout and existing religions will try to incorporate psychedelic use once they see these substances revitalizing religious feeling and engagement.

We're only starting to see the barest hints of this now, because most religious people aren't aware of psychedelics' potential in this area.. but this trend will almost certainly flourish once they are. There might be a backlash on some level, as some religions are allergic to giving their adherents direct access to what their authorities are supposed to have a monopoly over.. but it's not clear whether such suppression will be effective this time.

Religious wars over psychedelic revelations might be possible too. It's too early to tell, but it'll be an interesting next couple of hundred years, that's for sure.
Basically true but not the terms I'd use; they aren't really A/B tests but staged rollouts, though the process and tooling required is similar. We did staged rollouts of _everything_ back when I worked on google search that wasn't a trivial bug fix. We'd move it to 1% for a day, check metrics, increase to 10%, hold a couple more days and check metrics, then to 100%. Very sensitive or risky launches might hold at a full 50% for some time. UI changes were "dark launched" behind a flag that we incrementally flipped on. The reason is that no test suite captures reality and this discipline forces you to account for easy rollbacks (just turn the flag off) and handle "skew" (the case where I user starts a session where the flag is off but then starts talking to a machine where it is on, or vice/versa). This was in addition to the binary that released multiple times a week and rolled out slowly over the course of the day, and often this happened after multiple versions were tested in experiments with statistically significant samples.

> Other commenters are correct that normally, KMS should just affect mode setting, not rendering.

Clearly those commenters don't have much experience working close to the wire around GPUs then. Scanout used to be very closely tied to rendering, and in some ways it still is. You can't take an arbitrary texture in GPU memory and scan it out to the display.

Windows has this thing called VidPN to work around the dependencies between source and target modes which gets even more complicated with VRR and virtual resolutions (retina).

Wikisource does also have a lot of unfinished works, but it has that advantage that literally anyone[1] with an interest can come along and push them into a proofread state.

In fact, the Monthly Challenge is also deliberately trying to promote this, as well as converting very old copy-paste drive-bys (often from PG, actually, from before Wikisource had the page-by-page proofreading) into modern editions verifiable against a specific original.

[1]: You don't even need do to register an account to enter the text, but you do to mark a page as proofread, since there's a two-pass validation system and it works by accounts. It doesn't require an email.

Why would someone waste their time foraging for psylocibin mushrooms to sell? They can be grown for basically free and in much larger quantities. Dried psylocibin mushrooms are still easily identifiable. If a rando drug dealer was claiming to have psylocibin capsules, for instance, sure, that would give me pause. But again - have you EVER heard of this happening? I've not. You're talking nonsense.
Just speculating but anyway, it could be related to allowing the digital dump of the various waveform samples, so that they could be used to create for example a software plugin that replicates some or all the functions of that instrument.
Modern hardware would allow the recreation of many old instruments at a fraction of their cost, either in hardware and/or software, so it's understandable that manufacturers are fiercely protecting their IP.
> in the signature block on the main contract, hand write in something like "agreed, as modified by the rider

This seems excessive. Yes, incorporation is a thing. But if you’re getting a rider with a supremacy clause signed at the same time as the main contract, the company is going to have a hell of a time arguing the latter is moot.
By holding a reference to it that is grounded to a GC root i.e. an an ownership chain to a local variable that will dispose of it. Also which can be used to interrupt the background task. So the network connection, callback, etc., are not in a detached cycle.

With the design you're describing -- without the ability to interrupt the background task -- I would bet you tend to get race conditions of one kind or another.

Yes, if a small bank is in an geographic area experiencing high loan demand the interbank market may be a cheaper source of funds. If the bank also has inefficient infrastructure to service retail customers they may find internal deposits more expensive then the interbank market.

I walked away from a company I really wanted to work for because the terms of their interview NDA were "everything and forever." IANAL, but I did take an IP law class when I was in graduate school, and I recall the professor saying that one of the key takeaways from the Listerine case is that any lawyer who allows their client to enter into contract with no term limit is basically incompetent. I lived outside California, and tech workers in my state had been successfully enjoined by a former employer on multiple occasions. I wasn't about to put my ability to earn a living in jeopardy.

I made it a few interviews into the loop while steadfastly refusing to sign the NDA, and I even told the recruiter that I objected to the scope of the contract. The recruiter indicated that they had absolutely no leeway on the NDA, and it was "take it or leave it." So after passing several interviews in the loop with flying colors, I called off the remainder of the interviews. They freaked out because I had been doing so well and wanted to know why on earth I wouldn't at least let them draw up an offer. "Your NDA is inequitable" was my responses, which really seemed to confuse them, because they were so used to tech workers dreaming of stock options in states with more worker-friendly legal environments like California just signing whatever they shoved at them. Their recruiting department still had the nerve to pester me a couple of times to sign the NDA after I terminated the interviews because I objected to the NDA.

*Edit: I previously called California a "right-to-work" state, which is something I've heard a lot of people say, but I guess it's not technically correct.

If you don't want to experience this type of nonsense, use hardware from vendors that make good-faith efforts to fully support their hardware in mainline kernels, like Intel or AMD's hardware. Just treat graphics and acceleration on the RPi as a neat trick.

You can pick up SBC-like computers with Intel integrated graphics and not have to deal with these problems from vendors' unsupported hardware, and there are some with AMD APUs. There are also SBCs that have PCIe slots that you can stick your own graphics cards into, but I'd stick with x86 machines because embedded ARM devices almost always require forked kernels that might not support everything you'd want them to, including your otherwise-supported graphics cards.

Some Mali graphics chips also work pretty well with Panfrost/Lima.
Your point is a lot of internal developers use Linux so they should make a Linux drive client, my counterpoint is that dedicating engineering resources to building and maintaining such a project is not worth the cost. Management looks at the cost and ROI of developing and maintaining projects, in this case the ROI from having a Linux client that would likely need 5-10 SWEs to maintain is not worth it for them. They have to ensure the client is compatible with multiple flavors of Linux releases, monitor security issues etc it's a big ongoing cost. If more consumers and businesses used Linux, they could justify the cost.

I'm not saying this is the right move, but I'm explaining why this project hasn't been funded.

A commune in isolation can not protect itself.

The US ones did not fail because some more aggressive group overtook them. They failed because they did not work and eventually the members tired of it and left.

The state-sponsored kibbutzen in Israel also fail, because they can't exist without massive government subsidy.

Communism has been tried many times on a nation scale. 100% failure.

Your ideas are not new and they have been tried, again and again. They just don't work. They don't work on a small scale, they don't work on a large scale. They don't work when voluntary, they don't work by force.

There is just something about communism that is fundamentally anti-ethical to human nature.

> often it’s written in a way that simply very difficult for me to understand and I can’t really tell what the contact is saying.

My experience is that contracts are easy to read - much easier than code. For one thing, contracts are written to be completely unambiguous to a human (a judge), a goal which few coders attempt.

The challenge is knowing and applying what isn't in the contract: The outcome depends on the contract & the law & the court. The latter two apply many rules, many of which are complex or require judgment, and many also require anticipating how a judge might rule. You can write whatever you want in a contract - 'if Employee leaves Employer less than 10 years from the date this contract is signed, Employee must amputate Employee's left leg.' (And the last sentence brings demonstrates first point about the importance of non-ambiguity: If it said '... their left leg', whose leg is it?)
Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones
I guess they just want math books to be about math.
I should add, that indeed sometimes you are not turned away at an ER - sometimes they take you in, run up some high bills - and then send you away with advice like - follow up with your primary care doc (they know you don't have one) - follow up with a dentist (they know you can't afford one) - and you get a big bill, along with no treatment, or in some cases a script for antibiotics but no fix in sight for the underlying cause of the infection.

I've seen others handed bills for a couple thousand bucks and they got zero treatment.

I myself entered an ER once and walked out with a script for pain pills and antibiotic along with a bill for over about $1,800 - and then got another bill for another $800 or so.. (they did run a urine test and let me talk to a doctor) then 60 days a later a letter stating that they know I own property at XXX address and that if they sued me $3,000 they could force the sale of my home to collect.

When I was in there, they wanted to run some sort of xray or cat scan or something - but I told the doc I could not afford it - and I asked him what he was going to do for treatment if the scan came back and said this X or that Y or whatever Z - he said the treatment he would provide would be a script for antibiotics and pain pills (for each of the issues that could of been determined with scans). - So I skipped the most expensive thing.

Let me also tell people not from here, that you need to get a goodRx card or similar - you can find these discount drug cards at various places... for years I paid retail price for drugs at the pharmacies (best to call around to price shop or find a price comparison site if you don't care about privacy) - it's amazing how much cheaper the drugs are when you have a stupid plastic card.

Something I had been paying like $120 for time and again turned out to be only $13.50 once I picked up a free plastic card at some random place and put that on file.

So even partial treatment can be expensive. It's one of the reasons 'medical bankruptcies' are the highest category for going extra broke here.

It's also one of the reasons a lot of folks here don't get preventive health care and end up in an ER in the first place.

Also a reason a lot of folks don't get care and have major issues arise from a smallish thing like a tooth cavity.

Azov has 900 members. Seven years ago, it was estimated 10 - 20 % are "Nazi's". If true, this is 90 - 180 "Nazi's" in a population of about 40 million. I thank you for pointing this out, and showing everyone that the justification of rape, murder, and execution of Ukrainian women and children is based on Kremlin propaganda.

The current actions of the Russians in Ukraine show and prove that Russia has a much bigger problem with Nazi-esque behaviours.

The number of bad and wrong ideas stopped by this format vastly outnumber the few examples you think this format impedes.

The proper way to evaluate this system is not to cherry pick a few rare examples and claim it as the norm. The correct way is to take all inputs, true and false, and see the outcome. Then you compare this info to other systems that have been tried. And maybe propose new systems, but only after you understand the problems with previous systems that led to the current one so you don't simply repeat past errors.
