I really love that this is based on retail misunderstanding of how mandated disclosures work, with a slight mixture of misunderstanding how Coinbase's insurance worked.

People really think they were trying to hide a bankruptcy risk, and that the CEO is handling a PR issue poorly.

Very amusing. Would be fun to day trade those options, the volatility level is pretty perfect. Not touching though.

Yep

Step 1: Buy 3 to 4 books and read those -> https://shepherd.com/best-books/understanding-user-research

Step 2: Map out one, do it, and instantly you will understand the power and how to do it better. Then just keep evolving. I am so much better at doing these now than when I started. I better clarity of what I am testing and how to ask to ensure non-biased answers.

ie, read and just start doing it.
>There is a false assumption here that such a surveillance program would even be effective and not just a stepping stone to arguing for more invasive measures when it doesn't fix anything.

It's a false assumption you're gonna have to argue against so get used to it. In the minds of people who want this crap the harm of a surveillance state is not a guaranteed thing. They think there will be "reasonable access controls" and other fantasy stuff like that.
yep answer above :)

What does line of rhetoric mean? The example was to show the poor logic of “you should have an alternative solution if you oppose this solution”. One can simply prefer the downsides of the status quo rather than different downsides of a change.
> I'll remind you that Russia is a democracy and Putin is a democratically elected leader, as much as Biden is. And people in the USA have much less trust for the democratic process than Russians at the moment.

Erm... huh? You cannot, not in a million years, compare the democratic processes of US or EU states with what's going on in Russia. I'm not even sure where to start. How about this then: Russia's premier opposition leader, Alexey Navalny, got poisoned with deadly poison known to be used only by Russian secret services, and almost died. Did Biden or Trump or any other US politician try to kill their opponent?

I suspect given that comment, we won't find common ground, but for others' benefit:

> It paid off incredibly well actually. Why do you think Germany is the first industrial power in Europe? Who's selling them all the cheap gas that keeps the industries going?

Germany decided to wean itself off atom and onto gas/renewables. That was a political decision, which drove energy prices up. France instead doubled-down on nuclear and is doing just fine. Affordable energy is achievable without Russian gas, just not overnight. For sure the going was good for Germany for a while, but now they find they are held by the balls.

The outcome is indeed more surveillance. It is also patently easy to frame anyone by sending them the wrong material or triggering terms that the artificial "intelligence" scans for.

In which case innocent persons will end up on watch lists or being harassed by intrusive investigations.
They frequently do for more expensive repairs, e.g. a $3k transmission replacement. An oil change is $100, vs tens of thousands for the car, or less than 1% the cost. Batteries on the hand are over $100 to replace for a phone that was likely only $1k brand new and now worth only a small fraction of that.
But by catering to the Instagram crowd, they drive more engagement from the people on that platform. Maybe they are leaving money on the table, but if they are happy with the current performance, then that is their decision.

Note: I also loathe Instagram menus

If you're talking about the crypto market crashing,

yes, this is absolutely in context indicative of the speculative circus ending.

Everyone knows the coyote has been running in air, waiting for various planks of a putative bridge to somewhere to materialize; those who put money into this vision who do not have it out now, will not get it back in a meaningful time frame, modulo dead cat bounce.

IMO "hodling" anything other than the most conservative (sic) of "coins" means taking a total loss. Bitcoin and Ethereum and a few others may crawl back over a few years; whether there is appetitive for another bubble with them is TBD.

It is not rational to believe their putative utility will emerge in that time; any future run up will merely be another round of speculation..
I think the attitude that Japanese popular culture should ideally be completely rewritten for overseas release (a la Godzilla) is still common within Japan itself, but thankfully US publishers and film distributors have mostly realized audiences don't want that. It's still enough of an issue that you're right to be cautious, though 1Q84 is a big enough title that the translation would be heavily scrutinized. A lot of Western culture has become so permeated into Japan that it's common to see: the Brothers Grimm are so popular with Japanese SF authors that I think some Western sticklers for originality would despair at how often those stories are referenced and adapted.
this above article is kind of inflammatory, however, this paper is incredibly interesting.

I read it this morning and the concept of changing CSF in order to have an increase in oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation is such a creative idea; a lot of the idea has focused on increasing flow in order to move waste, etc with csf. I think this concept that CSF is also acting as an important mechanism to moving factors that will cause up regulation, etc, is very novel.

If you can run a post-processing step on the SVG file before putting it on the server, the following might work. I took a look at the SVG, and although I don't know anything about SVG other than it is an XML format it looks pretty easy to add some text at a given location.

The white background seems to come from this:

<polygon fill="white" stroke="transparent" points="-4,4 -4,-11651.5 3898,-11651.5 3898,4 -4,4"/>

We just need to find that in the SVG, look at the points defining the rectangle, find the left side and the top side from that list of points, then add some text. The left side is the minimum first coordinate in the set of points and the top is the minimum second coordinate in the set of points. That's -4 and -11651.5 in this case.

Then we just need to add text there:

<text text-anchor="left" x="-4" y="-11637.5" font-family="Times,serif" font-size="14.00">Hello, World!</text>

Using the left side for x seems fine. For y using the top results in clipped text because apparently the y for text is the baseline. I don't know how font sizes work in SVG, but it looks like moving the base line down by font-size works nicely.

Here's a little Perl script that can be used as a filter that takes your SVG and adds that text line, finding the top and left by looking at the points list in the first polygon line that has fill set to "white" and stroke set to "transparent".

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;

my $left = 0;
my $top = 0;
while (<>) {
print;
if (m{<polygon.*fill="white"} && m{stroke="transparent"} && m{points="(.*?)"}) {
my @points = split /\s+/, $1;
foreach (@points) {
my($x, $y) = split /,/;
$left = $x if $x < $left;
$top = $y if $y < $top;
}
$top += 14;
print qq{<text text-anchor="left" x="$left" y="$top" font-family="Times,serif" font-size="14.00">Hello, World!</text>\n};
last;
}
}
print while (<>);
It’s pretty cheap to keep the API running and I promised myself I’d be doing that for many years even if I make 0 money with it.

But I want to be upfront about the fact that there are things beyond my control that might force me to shut down some or all functionality. For example, if google shuts down access to the calendar API, the calendar feature will be in trouble.

Here is how the US responded to the Solomon Islands military treaty with China (emphasis mine):

> If steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power-projection capabilities, or a military installation, the delegation noted that the United States would then have significant concerns and respond accordingly.

Note that the Solomon Islands is also a sovereign nation, and that it is > 10,000km away from the US border, and >2000km away from the border of the closest US Ally, Australia.

My point is not whataboutism, it is that sovereign nations have an interest in the military alliances of other sovereign nations, and that the security of one state doesn't stop at its borders. Joining hostile military alliances or massing troops at a shared border is logically viewed as a security threat from another nation, and sovereign nations have a right to attempt to prevent such actions.

Of course, doing it by force of arms the way Russia did is entirely illegal and immoral. Even the threat of violence is considered unacceptable by the Geneva convention, though of course that is often ignored. But complaining or seeking diplomatic and even economic ways to prevent such actions is not immoral in my view, and it is certainly not unusual.
Yes, simulations are in heavy use in galaxy dynamics. Two (example) research groups: <https://www.nao.ac.jp/en/research/project/cfca.html> <https://pweb.cfa.harvard.edu/research/science-field/computat...>
and the most relevant wikipedia page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_astrophysics>.

Indeed today's event <https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2208-eht-mw/> involved many of the techniques mentioned on the pages above, with paper III (freshly un-embargoed, so I have not perused it) appears to be a good starting point if you feel technically inclined.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "non-quantum" -- in general making sense of extragalactic central black hole observables (and even obtaining them in the face of e.g. astronomical and atmospheric extinction) depends very sensitively on understanding various types of scattering (especially Compton and its inverse) and atomic electron transitions / (quantum-mechanical) spin-orbit interactions. This has to enter into matching the results of a simulation from data obtained by observatories.

Because this scheme is actually a thoughtful way to address a real problem affecting real children. Giving zero ground on privacy to address problems like child sex exploitation is not workable over the long term - there will be some sacrifices to digital privacy, same as in every other aspect of life. So it would be good if you could provide specific faults with this scheme, so we can evaluate how bad those faults are compared to addressing some amount child exploitation, and compare this scheme to alternatives.
I didn't even know there was a version that wasn't Attenborough. Where is this other version found (not that I'll watch this "other")?
Yea not debating that, nor that it wouldn't lose it's peg if things get unstable enough. Just that the title makes it look like it's in a death spiral like TerraUSD, which there doesn't seem to be indication of right now at all.

The increased volatility (which remains in the < 1 cent range) can easily be explained by general market volatility right now.

> so NATO effectively "annexed" former Soviet territory around part of Russia.

1. NATO isn't a country, and can't annexe anything.

2. Former Soviet states are states that are no longer Soviet. NATO didn't ccoerce Poland and Lithuania into joining.

Your notion of what annexation means is at odds with mine.

There are no technical limitations being violated by posting an image containing more than 250 characters. People use images all the time to communicate longer text portions in a single post. Do you really think Twitter's intent by saying users may not work around technical limitations is to clamp down on this extremely common behavior?

This doesn't make sense. The higher the tax the more the (negative) incentive. Low tax means low incentive.

Let's say someone has a house in a gentrifying area. The house isn't taxed but the land is, and property values are rising. Encouraging density means making it financially difficult for them to stay there, so they will sell to a developer. If the tax doesn't do that, LVT doesn't provide enough incentive to discourage speculation.

LVT advocates need to own up to what they're trying to do. There will be winners and losers. Someone with little income (retired) and property in a desirable location is going to lose.

And this is exactly the sort of thing that got Prop 13 passed in California. Homeowners really don't like it when their property tax goes up.
I think Casey did a lot of other great work on more correct and speedy non-ASCII support, and very efficient scrollback (in both memory and time cost), etc. It's been a while, but I think the atlas approach is also different.

Its to big to be walk-able for most people, the bike lanes are symbolic at best. Unlike, say Singapore, the metro stations are few and far in between, leaving but the car. Commuting to Seoul is equally painful. There is no fast direct link.

At least for iPhones the prices for a battery replacement directly from Apple are between 49$ and 69$, so easily under 100$, even when shipped to Apple (a further 7$).
So replacing a battery really isn't too expensive, especially in comparison to a new phone.

Sending your kid to a store for babysitting is not good parenting.

Does the store owner have a license for child care? Did she discuss child care with them? Was she expecting her kid to sit at a candy store and do homework for an hour absent an agreement with the owner for child care?

Seems like pawning her kids off on unwilling people who have no responsibility for them.
Gato, a Decision Transformer on steroids, is pretty much what you would expect, with the expected RL scaling curves†, if you've been following ML scaling research for the past 2 years. It is, however, still mindblowing to see it in reality.

Sigh... Yes, OOP as a concept may have its flaws. (I even agree that many of them are such.) Java, OTOH, has many, many more of them, as has also been pointed out. (I agree with most of those.)

This is yet another Internet screed about "The flaws of OOP!" that turns out to actually be about the flaws of Java. (And possibly C#? Much of what he complains about is syntactic boilerplate, and AIUI C# syntax is based on that of Java, so one could think much of the same applies.)

When will these people learn that there's more to OOP than Java?
