Not quite. My understanding of WW1 is that the defense treaties were like multiple nets that all made enemies of each other come wartime. Today it seems that NATO is one big net and Russia is more or less an isolated node with no seriously powerful country to call to for help.
The vote is still proved by maths. Sometimes you want to just be able to poll the community. For example you may want to have your project translated into Spanish so you create a proposal to pay someone from the community fund $500 for translating the project's site and documentation.
No. And some currency are particularly weak right now to this kind of attacks[0], like the CHF, as well as the colonial CFA.

The theoric ideas to resist this for a country is either:

to let your currency fluctuate freely, as the free market theory wants. But this is basically selling your small and medium business production to companies that can do faster arbitrage than them. I know this is the liberal way, but when you think about it, this is not viable if you have any industry and free trade agreements with a countries with richer banks/companies. This would be economic suicide for Mexico if you want an example.

Other way to resist this is to have a lot of dollar/eu bonds and sell them. If you have more bonds than the attacker money, you "win" (the attacker doesn't loose much either). I'm pretty sure some money can be capted during an attack for HFT firms, but don't quote me on that, and i'd like confirmation from someone actually working with HFT systems here

And the last way is having one of the strongest currency in the world. Dollar, Euro, Yuan basically. Pound and Yen "waste" their respective central bank millions each year

You live in Serbia? Does Russia has a claim on parts of your territory ?

I am old enough that I have heard direct reports from people that fought in the war and meet the Russian soldiers and people that lived under communist regime , so GTFO with your shity claim that who does not agree with you is an idiot that media corupted his mind not to live Russia.

Let me tell you, I don't love USA and I don't like the shit they done in Afganista,Iraq , I don't like what they did with the nuclear bombs in Japan, I don't like what they are doing with Assange but the fact is Russia is a bigger danger for my country and we were begging to enter NATO not because of love for USA but because we are fucking scared of Russia, and we are scared of them because we know not from media but from our direct experience what they are capable of.

There are more countries using the comma than the dot. Why should the majority follow a minority in that case?
A big fallacy that I always see - and that is implied by this post - is that the work ends after shipping, a.k.a. "build it and they will come". That doesn't happen any more. So after you "ship" it, you need to promote it, advertise it, create buzz around it and make people use it.
And that is a totally different kind of beast than coding something.

But on the flip side, if you develop a side project just for yourself, you most certainly learn something. Heck, the author explicitly mentioned learning React Native, which is absolutely great and definitely worth investing time into.

Learning things is valuable in itself.

I think the "investing" in tether is really only the best match to "Let me see, where can I park my money in the least volatile way on this crypto exchange".

EDIT: Interestingly, if tether breaks, then USDC is the last man standing and will have to work hard to maintain the peg. Under such circumstances it's quite possible that BTC is the next best "stable" coin.
From the headline, honestly I thought this was going to involve a death.

> 1. Few business problems can't be solved by more sales.

This obviously completely wrong. The only problem that can be solved by mores sales is when your are not selling enough. And even in this case just having more sales not always work.

I'm the first to say that what matter most for a company is its ability to have more customers. But having more sales when you sales org is badly structured will make you loose a lot of money. Same products problems won't be solved by more sales, same for Marketing problems, or People problems or actually any problem.

About half of us called bullshit the instant "WMDs" were paraded as the reason to go to war.

And I think the other half have, over time, come to see the whole operation as a regretful waste of time, money, and lives.

So, no, I don't think there are any fans of the U.S. invasion of Iraq still around. Some of us are still incensed by the lies that were trotted out though.
> "Big Brother"

yeah, and what the Big Brother does to you if you don't follow rules is kept secret, by secret police agents, because

1 - the Big Brother doesn't physically exists

2 - people would revolt if they knew what really happens to deviants, so it's imperative they are kept in the dark (“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” )

“If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”

So 1984 does not apply at all in this case, because the document is public and everyone can read it and eventually revolt against it
Doesn’t work very well with judges, which are elected in many states.

I like this commenters suggestion of ranked voting. Would lead to more centrist candidates.

For example, i believe that’s what we saw play out in France, essentially. Center-left Macron got most votes. Far-right Le Pen got second most votes. And far-left candidate got third most votes. Once it was down to the top 2, Macron handily won.
My understanding is that people don't invest in stable coins (like you don't invest in USD when you have USD on your brokerage account).

Stable coins can be exchanged against other crypto currencies on chain. So if you are willing to trade crypto currencies, stable coins are more practical than USD.

There are also tax implications: Depending on where you live, crypto-to-crypto profits are not taxable. You will be taxed if you sell crypto currencies for USD, but not if you sell crypto currencies for a stable coin.
Because then you end up with a society with extreme STEM brain. You will not raise citizens but a politically uneducated servant class in a society vulnerable to extreme fracturing as common frameworks to think about politics were not established.

Poltical education has been part of the education for the rulers since forever and since the enlightenment it has been more and more become part of education of everybody. By not teaching politics to a class of people you make them unable to work as lawyers, judges or (suprise) politicians taking away their control and feedback into how society develops. Those positions will be taken up instead by a different class of people by the accident of whom they have been birth been found deserving to get such an education. I hope do not elaborate why that is bad.

You could argue that people could get the same education from the internet. However as long as the internet is not censored people will spread versions of political education that are not aligned along country borders and not constrained by being a reproductive, self sustaining system of thought. This leaves the political order highly vulnerable.

We teach politics so that nations do not fall apart into local fiefdoms ruled by an elite class tied to who the parents are. By proposing to axe political education you are proposing to get onto a path to pre-enlightment political structures. This is not hyperbole. Political education goes beyond "how do i vote and how does my government work", it includes all of history, large parts of art, literature and so on. Political education like that is an pre-requisite to be able to find your own individual political opinion and it is a prerequisite for contributing to shape society. If you take away that power (in particular along a public/private education line) you kneecap one side of the politics of power and possibly irreversibly trigger a run-away feedback leading to a categorical change/tipping point how society works.

I hope i could persuade you that this is an extremely bad idea.
Doh, Having two opposite conventions is a PITA.

But if I add my 2 cents - I prefer 1,000.00 because I think it is similar to commas and full-stops in writing, where a comma is mainly a reading/speaking guide to help break up a sentence (or in this case a number) and a full stop is a much harder termination of a sentence (in the case of a number the official origin where int/non-fractional part ends).
Doesn't it rather rhyme with 'ethnics'? 'ethics' is to my ear, a half-rhyme...
This is what I find most interesting about the Erlang/Elixir world. The programming language design predated SMP by about 20 years - the actor model was chosen because it was a good way to reason about programs not for parallelism. Then multicore processors arrived, and it was 'just' a VM enhancement to make Erlang programs fully parallelised.

Sometimes you just get lucky.
Yep, I'm there, been going for a year, it's amazing how quickly time passes by. Getting ready to ship, for realsies this time. Maybe I'm imagining, but due to the unimaginable number of apps and SaaS out there today, it's not as easy to put out something you're embarrassed about. The only way to do that is to have something extremely small and polished, in which case it's almost certainly been done already multiple times. I'm sure there are some niches still to be filled, but it sure was easier back in, say, 2012.
Yes, sadly even with fingerprints in the newest version which is completely ludicrous and we have it because some countries needed to implement it for domestic self-gratification. There are regional differences but here nobody uses their government ID for online services.

There will never be anything approaching 100% clarity between different people talking about a thing that doesn't yet exist.

We all have to see it and feel it in order to truly understand it.

They are not aligned, but they deal with the Ukraine conflict in a very pragmatic way. On the one side they are delivering drones to Ukraine, which have proven to be one of the more effective weapons agains the Russian army, on the other hand they will accept Russian tourists into the country this summer.

IMHO Erdogan still owes Putin a favor for being tipped off on the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt.
It still isn't too late to finish the app/site and put it out there. Instead, it seems that the author burned out. With that said, there's no shame in dropping the project to stay sane.
I don't think this proposal is quite enough, we can do better to protect the children.

The homes of the people who champion this proposal should be thoroughly searched for child abuse materials every week. Naturally, their personal electronic devices should be taken for analysis. I understand this may cause them some inconvenience, but think of the children!

Mom. I have wanted to buy land with a shitty trailer for years so that I can live there and build with cash. Wife thinks I'm nuts. I'm addicted to building things out of nothing though, affluency bores me.
Are you also using this tools or are there some other ones that you would recommend?
But certainly everyone who really wants will block it, so it will ONLY be used for surveillance of the innocent, probably to influence their political views, or punish the baddies?

I think Serbs may disagree on that. In the end, NATO is the US and it's dependent vassal states. With neighbors like these, I can sympathize with Russia not being too comfortable.

A big problem is tooling - what they currently support, and the fact that excel will f*ck up anything.

I suppose the best way would be a suite of tools to edit them that are compatible with existing editors? TBH a great value-add for adoption would be versioning s.t. you can see (and revert) when other tools mess up your files.
On mobile I use Gmail app, on desktop I use Thunderbird.
Conversely, perhaps protection against this kind of dragnet can be enshrined in Constitutions / Bills of Rights / UN Charters to defend against these attacks more fundamentally.
It can also mean they aim to enforce their own new API, on which they are working for some time now. Making some juicy money is always a good motivation for changes.

These are all problems invented by Crypto bulls to build a narrative for why Crypto is widely useful.

There are a handful of small, very poor countries where Crypto might have been better than holding local currency. But you also had to be poor in those poor countries for it to make sense for you to buy Crypto instead of hard assets like land or housing - if you were merely interested in bypassing monetary devaluation - and not interested in EXTEMELY risky speculation to get absurd returns.

The total money for people this might even have made a little bit of sense for is maybe $1Bn. Considering Crypto had close to a $3T market cap at some point - this is not a talking point. It's noise.

The real story - and the only story - is that Crypto is and always has been speculation.

64 F-35 at my calculations comes at approximately 5 Billion dollars, this is excluding spare parts and training. Finland military complete spending/defense budget for 2019 was $3.97B.

> IMO The cost of NOT joining NATO would have been de facto loss of sovereignty.

This to me as a Finn is the most important part. The moment your neighbor country says "you can't join alliance X" and you actually take their opinion seriously and don't due to their pressure means you just lost your sovereignty as a nation.

And Finland has experience of that from the years after WW2 under YYA[1]. While we were lucky to not be fully take into the soviet union shit just sucked. Press was heavily censored "voluntarily", got a god king president for decades (this is why the President has 0 power in internal politics now), etc. After the fall of soviet union we got rid of the bullshit of licking Russias ass and are never going back.

The most obvious advantage of AVX-512 is that it has mask registers which select the parts of a register that are modified by an operation.

This brings a huge simplification to any loop which must process arrays of variable sizes and alignments.

With SSE or AVX you have to write very complex prologue and epilogue code for loops, to handle the sizes that are not a multiple of the register size and to cope with various alignments. A compiler may be not smart enough to add such code, so it may fail to vectorize a loop, while when the code is written by hand it is hard to avoid bugs.

With AVX-512 handling any size or alignment is trivial and it can also be done automatically by compilers when vectorizing loops.

The second feature is that in AVX-512 there are both gather load and scatter store instructions, which simplify the manual or automatic vectorizing of loops that must access some data structures that do not have the layout required by the SIMD instructions.

Also AVX-512 has a more complete and flexible set of instructions to do various permutations between the parts of the SIMD registers, which also allow the vectorization of some loops that would have been difficult to convert to SIMD instructions when using SSE and AVX.

The net effect of all these features is that many loops that were not worthwhile to convert to SIMD with SSE or AVX, because the resulting programs would have been very complex and would have contained a large number of instructions, can be converted to AVX-512 with little effort and the resulting program has much less instructions than in the SSE/AVX version.

For the loops that are easy to convert to SIMD, e.g. they access only aligned arrays whose size is a multiple of the SIMD register size and there is no need to access other kinds of data structures, e.g. arrays of structures with heterogeneous members, AVX-512 may have no advantage over AVX, except if the target CPU happens to have double throughput with 512-bit registers (true for a part of the server/workstation Intel CPUs).
Huh? Turkey has the right but not the obligation to close the straits in times of war. And they exercised that right:

Disagree on a small company having time to setup AWS. I work in a 2 man team, and that would be about the last thing on our priority list. We spend ~$500/month on Heroku and while that’s a lot more than it would be elsewhere, it’s also non-issue. Heroku’s main problems are:

1. There are now comparable competitors that are cheaper.

2. They seem to have stopped maintaining it properly which is gradually leading a loss of trust.
There was a movie called Minority Report that had a similar premise. Basically they would detect murders before they happened and arrest people moments before the murder took place. At the time of the arrest the potential killer had motive and intent, so that’s how they justified it.

It could be a good hedge... but not main investment. Real estate always loses against stocks even mid-term let alone long term. It is also a viable asset class only for billionaires because for everyone else, a particular house bought makes too high a fraction of their portfolio (it's like keeping all your money in only a few stocks, called stock picking, and is not advisable).
