Oof I'm right there with you - finding a job in a marketing field is revealing itself to be extremely difficult.

The requirements sometimes are so specific that I don't understand why those companies don't just go make direct offers to the people that work in marketing at the companies they're trying to emulate.

Like: "must have worked in fintech, in the role X, for X years, with XX growth"... just go scout them.

Of course one still sends an submits an application, but 90% of the times companies don't bother to reply with a "no thx".
Twitter full of spam bots, user numbers not genuine and all growth in fake users might be justifiable reason for firing:

You advocate for mob violence against American citizens who don't support your political views? I have no words.
> Given this context, I do not think the police should honor his request [to protect him]

I vehemently disagree on this. Regardless of what you think of a person, no one should be subject to the violence of a vigilantist mob. Anything else is a huge step back into the middle ages.

It saddens me to no end that the kind of inhuman sentiment that is displayed in comments like the above is becoming more and more en vogue in modern civilization.

Ahh man ... something, something the "revolution will be televised."
Nah. I think the critique for male-dominated industries is also focusing on the wrong things.

Evolutionary biology plays a big role in this. So it would be more efficient to focus on how to architect environments for everyone to focus on their strengths & use biologically dictated social structures.
Sure they can be overthrown, but it only works as long as the environment is stable (at least in the short run).

Finding mechanisms that make our fundamental „truths“ (even if they seem outdated from a political POV), is more stable. Not saying i have the solution, i do believe, we shouldn‘t artificially punish, but rather find ways to encourage & build on that fundament.
The balance is ostensibly that you do get some tangible rewards for Luna. But when the expected value of those drops below the outstanding balance as well, you still have a death spiral.
I don't think that Luna or UST were ponzi's but some of the things built on top of them had ponzi-like characteristics.

Specifically Anchor which was promising 20% returns whilst charging borrowers less than that on the same funds, seemed doomed to failure.
I believe the leading current plan is to relaunch it with a different peg mechanism and airdrop the initial tokens to previous holders which does seem like the only way for them to salvage it though obviously trust in the chain will be low.

> What was the fusion in chicken tikka masala?

It has tomatoes in it for one.

> And come to think of it, what other new dish has the British Indian restaurant industry come up with in the 50-60 years after the chicken tikka masala.

Chutney (the type consumed in UK), for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Indian_cuisine

But 50-60 years is not a long time. Things do move a lot quicker now that food import routes have made it possible to get most exotic components to most elsewhere places without growing them on-site. But take a step back on what you look at as quintessentially "local" food anywhere and there's always movement. Nations form, crumble and split, peoples migrate, etc.

Why? States have a monopoly on violence for good reason. If a disgruntled speculator decides to do something stupid for revenge, it's much better for the police to deal with rather than a private guard.

> ambient temperature is necessary for the quiescent current

No it does not say that. It says ambient temperature is a factor contributing to quiescent current:

"The value of quiescent current is mostly determined by the series pass element, topologies, ambient temperature, etc."

In an LDO you normally want as little as possible quiescent current when idle.
You certainly wouldn't design stand by operation to be dependent on temperature.
If it turns out to be so with time, it's an aging problem.

I do hope he goes to jail - for his own sake. People have been killed for much less money. There are some posts in this thread accepting the violence against him. I disagree, if he broke the law he should be judged and punished fairly, not by mob justice.
>Given this context, I do not think the police should honor his request.

If I read your argument correctly. It's OK for the police to remove protection from people based on the court of public opinion without due process if they are "bad hombres."

If that's true, you are casually suggesting is disregarding the core principles of rule of law and human rights in the society.

I find this attitude very disturbing and discussing. Maybe it's lack of understanding or genuine want to abandon principles of liberal democracies, I don't know.

Here in Finland I've been treated largely well by other people, when taking our son out to play. Though I think the times when things have gone badly I suspect language barrier was to blame as much as gender.

That said I remember when I took the child to an annual health-checkup, and the first question I received from the doctor was "Where's his mother?"
My assumption - unfounded? paranoid? - is that:

1) Printers leave a unique "invisible" watermark; similar to the way you can hide an image within an image. The naked eye can see it, but it's there.

2) Aside from that the printer itself has a unique fingerprint, similar to how keyboards do (i.e., AI can pick the difference in the sound of each key and with that audio can translate your typing into letters / words).

3) Networked printers phone home; with snippets. Again, similar to the way some smart TVs send screenshots.

Perhaps not every printer does all of the above, and some not at all, but enough do or might.

Finally, law enforcement explanations like the article's to me are suspect. For example, how often do we hear that a random-y car stop led to a sizable drug bust? So of all the thousands of car going up Rt 95 the police randomly picked one with loads of drugs? What are the odds?

Moral of the story, if (federal) law enforcement has "insider information" they're not going to share that with the public.

Fast Random Integers
I was working on a game part-time for 1 year. The game is mix of Factorio + Stardeus (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1358970/Cyber_Factories/).
After releasing an early demo on Steam, the game seemed to be of little interest to anybody (only 1300 wishlists after one year).
I had two publishers reaching to me, but their funding offers were too low for me to consider working full time on the game and ship a finished product (I would need 18 month fulltime to finish the game).

So due to a lack of interest from the audience, I just cancelled the project.

> The money they have now could potentially buy more in the future, but at some point you have to actually buy the thing you need or want.

That's the key. With a deflationary currency you want to keep the money, but need to buy goods. With an inflationary currency you want to buy the goods, so you only keep as much money as you need. This means that an inflationary market has shorter dependency chains, less disruptions (because value is more easily predictable) and generally runs more efficiently. Deflationary value incentivizes consuming less; inflationary value incentivizes consuming more. This is why economies grow and produce more value.

Of course this can be overdone by having an inflation that's so fast that deep production chains become impossible to manage, so you generally want inflation that's low enough that investment-based value gain is not affected, but high enough that money is not a viable investment vehicle.

Remember that money is what you have instead of something useful.

edit: For instance, if you have hyperinflation, you cannot buy a fabrication machine for your factory, because the monetary value of the machine grows faster than your ability to save money. The best use of money is always consumptively spending it immediately. This is also inefficient. So you want to balance between those two problems.

Python seems to me an excellent choice. It has good installers for Windows, it has a REPL, IDLE isn't a bad interface. The documentation is excellent. To be sure, it takes a bit of doing to keep Windows 10 from interpreting "python" as "go to the Windows store and offer them a version to download." But that you have to do just once.

You can always write documentation in comments. Using terse names for the identifiers when feasible can make it a lot easier to see the bigger picture wrt. multiple components interacting. It's a tradeoff.
The propaganda argument could be turned around, too. There are more than enough vegan companies trying to make a quick buck out of this. You take your average vegan burger package, it's stuffed with the same crap as a regular premade burger, except it uses tofu or beans instead of ground beef.

Regardless, the bigger problem is the lack of long term research we have on mindful omnivores vs mindful vegetarians vs mindful vegans, etc. Most comparisons are between mindful vegans and omnivores living off of incredibly poor diets.

I never had the use case for arbitrary nested input, but I did build a python library that allowed you to specify the HTML input type and the python type to coerce it to + regex validation so that our giant SQL queries would fail at the beginning and not half way thru

I dabbled in generating the HTML forms for calling the scripts, but what I was really excited to do was design a chatbot that would use the type declarations to ask for the scripts' requirements conversationally ("next I need a number for...") (alas, the chatscript dialog files I wrote are not open source, I would love to revisit if anyone wants to take another stab at NLP->SQL)

UST/Terra was pegged to the dollar by diluting Luna to the infinity, assuming Luna would keep a non-zero value. I still don't understand how can anyone think this can be a good idea, so my understanding could be wrong.

Anyway, USDT has no such requirement it's pegged to the dollar by Tether company actually exchanging USDT at 1$.

That's not saying USDT won't crash, (there are reasonable fear of wrongdoings) but those two are really not alike

Wait... So if he had pulled the exact same scam while longing for more government employees and a bigger part of the public sector in countries' GDP, then he'd be worthy of police protection?

So basically the government should protect people depending whether or not they're pro-government?

He is asking for proof that spam and fake accounts are less than 5% of total users. He obviously believes the number is much higher[1]. This does not seem to be a deal killer - he is just calling their bluff[2]. Maybe they are right. Maybe not. We will see. Interesting times!

It's almost as if there was a much greater context that you deliberately ignored.

It's not the "bell ringing" part that's worrying it's the "people lost tons of money and potentially seek revenge" part
Sure it it's good enough if you're just playing audio, but it's garbage if you need to keep the audio in sync with the video (if you can't do latency compensation), so it's useless for games. And the other major problem is that the audio quality drops down to garbage if you want to use the microphone, as it needs to switch to HSP or HFP. I find it ominous that the marketing for LE audio has completely ignored these problems, instead focusing on minor improvements like streaming directly do both buds.
I believe the direction they are going is that you have it implicitely define a default infrastructure, and then if you want to customize it you can. This seems reasonable to me. For prototyping or MVP, just go with the defaults. As your product gains maturity you can hire domain experts to fine tune the infrastructure, while keeping it as separate from the business logic as possible
And while you're at it, sign up for Matt's email newsletter. It's one of the most insightful reads in finance.
Also across the organization. While publicly they are famous for running a news site, they surely have more websites, both public and internal. Design system would help them having consistent styling and design across all of those properties.
It's probably meant as a lead, not as evidence. Given that this is a kidnapping, likely murder case, there's probably tons of evidence if you're looking at the right guy.

Ah yes, the classic "I'm gonna compare the entire US to Europe but I'm gonna exclude the parts of Europe that make the comparison not favorable to the point I'm trying to make" slight of hand."

When it's social attitudes, there is no Europe east of the Oder.

When it's about effective government, half the nations on the Mediterranean don't count.

When it's about nice infrastructure only the rich western and northern bits are "Europe".

Nobody is fooled by these dishonest comparisons anymore than they would be fooled by a definition of the US that excludes the flyover states or the Detroits and Baltimores.
It doesn't compare itself against bsc, which feels a bit poor IMO given it's using Grebnov's libsais and LZP algorithm (he's the author of libbsc).

On my own benchmarks, it's basically comparable size (about 0.1% smaller than bsc), comparable encode speeds, and about half the decode speed. Plus bsc has better multi-threading capability when dealing with large blocks.

I wonder if there could be another issue. I remember we had a hardware guy once where I worked who took apart a broken cable modem prototype, found that one of the traces was thinly broken. Traces are the lines on a printed circuit board, Vias the circles. He used an emory cloth to strip the protective green coating, then a small narrow heat gun to melt the trace slightly and bring it together.

If OP had a broken trace in there, then heat might have fixed it. Then again, OP's reasoning is probably better as I am not a hardware guy.
