> If he has the money, fleeing before charges were laid was probably even rational, as there is no reason to expect the legal system is equipped to deliver justice in something so new.

Except what's next? Live in hiding in a foreign country? Craft a new identity and find new chains to exploit? I suppose 18 years old is a good time to learn that you can have all the money in the world, but it won't do shit for you if you can't spend time with the people you want to.

I'd wager this individual could get much more satisfaction out of developing novel, interesting mathematics that do actual good for humanity, surrounded by a group of like minded high performing individuals. But he seems to have thrown hopes of that out the window. It's sad, really.

If you know you're going to be living on $1261 / mo there are plenty of decent engineering schools in low cost of living areas. I don't know why on earth you would choose a place with that kind of housing market if you know you're going to live on poverty wages.

I quoted the point. The hubris of Ethereum where software bugs result in the loss of money is just astounding. While obviously banking software can have bugs as well, the regulations make the consequences much, much less severe. With Ethereum, one bug, money is gone and you are done for. And as we learned, often the money is gone to North Korea. That's what hubris and cryptobros brought upon us: they made a funnel of savings of poor people caught in the hype tsunami to North Korea of all places.

Basically I started a PhD, and told myself if I don't submit anything to publish anything in a year, I'm gonna quit. I found I just don't have the discipline and self-motivation for a PhD. I had already taken a year of classes so I qualified for the MS. I was only joking about the "dishonorably discharged" - that's just how I felt not being able to cut it.
10+ million was the number I gave because it's what the Chrome store reports, unfortunately for all extensions it doesn't report a number larger than that. I don't think it's possible to get an accurate number, it could be quite a bit larger.

I was a long-time FF user and yesterday I switched to Brave. Why? Because of ridiculously high CPU usage of FF on my Mac (M1, to be specific). I was surprised to realize that Brave uses less CPU when playing a 4K video, compared to a FF with no tabs!

I really wish Mozilla would address battery/CPU issues of FF first. I'm not an ordinary user, but I can see why many people would just pick Chrome/Brave/Safari if they realize FF drains their battery too fast.
You and the author are conflating two different kinds of "openness". The user is talking about the openness of the default visibility where you're presumably referring to the openness of the implementation.

It's a bit too spazzy for me as well. Sharpnel isn't always like that though. (Skip any songs by killingscum (alias) if you don't like that style. :P) I mean, take something like Invisible Trigger [1], it's a lot more melodically and thematically stable.

I think personally what I like about them is as much as they're not above taking some sample and running it into the ground, they have a really good ear for melody and pathos. IMO all their best songs start by them going "this anime soundtrack is great, but it could be about 25% faster and more high pitched and backed by a really hard beat." And you know, they're usually right.

A really good example for me is [2], Jersey*Spirit, which is a remix of Try Unite! [3], some anime opening. I think depending on which you listen to first you're going to have a totally different idea of how that melody is supposed to go, because as far as I can tell without a music education, by inserting a break with a slowed down voice sample and leaving out some parts, Sharpnel's version puts the verse emphasis on a totally different measure than the original (the "fly away" part is the "B" measure in the original, and the "A" measure in Jersey*Spirit). Would you have heard that was in there? I wouldn't! And I'm not making a statement on which take is better, but to me, having heard Sharpnel's take first, the just original seems unbearably slow, and also they should put that melodic idea in the center instead.

edit: And that's how I learnt that HNews strips unicode symbols...

edit: Also I challenge you to listen to Watashi wa Maid without getting it stuck permanently in your head. [4] but note that the album art is very nsfw. (Yes this was the only version I could find. Youtube probably keeps taking it down, can't imagine why.) Then compare to the [5] original - if you can, without falling asleep!

edit: Also that's from a hentai OVA. I should note that. Fucking Sharpnel, how do they find this stuff... but you can't argue they don't elevate it above the source material.

edit: As a final link, here's a (VR) DJ set they did recently that I like a lot. [6] It's less of their own songs and also a bit slower and less hyper. Might be more to your liking.

A PhD is a full-time job, time-wise. I'm not sure how _really_ feasible a part-time PhD + part-time job really is. Maybe for some, but most likely not for most imho. Agreed that it would help financially though.
The seaworthiness of Monitor or Merrimac was immaterial to the contemporary discussion around ironclads. It was a transformative moment. There were plenty of sea-worthy ironclads already in European fleets but there had not been a battle yet between two ironclads. As usual with militaries, there had been lots of debate around how effective the new weapons system would be.

Merrimac sailed into Hampton Roads (near Chesapeake Bay) and wasted two pretty good wooden Union frigates. The Union then sent in the Monitor. The two ships spent four hours pounding away at each other at point blank range, and still managed to steam away under their own power. The cannonballs just bounced off the armor. Two ships that, as you said, were barely sea worthy. (Some contemporary writers said the same - not a fair test!)

"News of the action at Hampton Roads took the British public, press, and Parliament by
storm. Large wooden steamers were clearly helpless against smaller armour-plated foes.
Ironclads were fighting ironclads. Perhaps most significantly, the Americans had produced
them in far less time and expense than either England or France." [1]

Lord Lyons (British ambassador the U.S.) wrote to Lord Russel (Foreign Secretary), "This is, I suppose, the severest test to which the system of coating vessels in iron armour has yet been exposed."

Admiral Milne, head of the British North Atlantic Squadron was "agog" at the results. Commander Hewett of HMS Rinaldo actually watched the battle and had the same reaction.

What was proved was that the weapons system of wooden ships-of-the-line was obsolete. Ironclads were now conclusively the future.

They write that all this is in the player’s favor, but it all gets nullified and even negated when levels are designed with these factors in mind: For expert players, the levels are no more difficult than they would be if the levels had been designed without most of these fudges, and for less experienced players, the fudges are effectively undocumented cheat codes which they nevertheless need to learn in order to get good at the game.

I agree that missiles are the future, but unless the enemy is coming to you as is the case with Ukraine, then you are going to need a platform to deliver the missiles.
That's probably where the reported TB2 came into play. The U.S. gives them general information, but it's more than enough for the Ukrainians to vector in one of their drones, which they likely do have those links for, and feed that to the missile battery.
Yes, Kesey's masterpiece could be remade today and would not be any less true. WhenI was in patient I had a nurse stealing my Klonopin telling me I had already taken it. When I told my lawyer she was gone the next day.

The fact that I could not get my doctors to look at my mental illness as an immune disorder (even after I was diagnosed with Lupus) as being the cause of my mood disorder tells you everything about how ignorant practical care is for the mentally ill.

I don't think it is fair to compare with Europe. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, as an example, got around 1b USD over the national budget. Stipends and loans to students are provided by another governmental body (Lånekassen), but in the US some students get a "full ride" (incl. accommodation and so on). However, the amount of debt you hear some americans ending up with is crazy.

Depends on the legislation in the country of employment. In Sweden, the law covering this situation is LAS, Lag om Anställningsskydd, The Employment Protection Act.[1]

I'm not exactly an expert, but if you're going to lay people off you have to do it based on how long someone has been at the company. Before you can lay someone off for 'lack of work', you're also required to show that this person cannot fill another position at the company. The rules are definitely in favor of the worker in Sweden.

One thing to do is to stop penalizing family structure through taxes and transfers.

> The U.S. tax code, for example, contains a marriage penalty for high-earner, two-income couples. And the earned income tax credit penalizes lower-wage married couples. Moreover, welfare rules have frequently made it harder for married households than for single-parent households to get benefits. Although few couples sit down and calculate the possible economic effects of getting married, there is a sense, especially within low-income communities, that getting married means you lose “stuff.” Couples may not be able to calculate exactly how much “stuff” they stand to lose, but they know marriage, at least financially, is a bad deal.

> And they are right. According to calculations by Eugene Steuerle of the Urban Institute, a single mother working full-time at a minimum-wage job who marries a man working full-time at $8 an hour stands to lose $8,060 in cash and noncash welfare benefits. Under such circumstances, the wonder is not that few low-income couples marry, but that any do.

During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union had nuclear artillery shells for 155mm and 152mm howitzers, respectively -- those would have a yield of about 100 tons on the low end, up to 2 kilotons on the high end. Higher-caliber artillery pieces, like a 203mm piece, could have a shell on the order of 10 to 15 kilotons, roughly approaching the Hiroshima bomb's power.

The American W82 155mm nuclear artillery shell[0] weighed 43kg (95lb), was 860 mm (34 in) long, and had a yield of 2 kilotons -- equivalent to 500 full WW2 heavy bomber loads.

These shells (as well as bombs and warheads with similar yields, carried by planes and missiles, respectively) are called tactical nuclear weapons -- meant for use on the battlefield, to break up enemy formations. Their blast radius is relatively small. It was theorized that if the Cold War went hot and a conventional WW3 broke out, if the Soviet Union was pushing NATO forces back, then the Americans would authorize the use of tactical nuclear warheads. This would likely cause a spiral of escalation, up to a strategic nuclear exchange.

The flaw with this is that the set of fingerprintable features is far more than just "browser brand you're using" and "monitor resolution". At the very least running without fingerprinting resistance leaks your GPU model. That might be fine

1. you're forgetting about other fingerprintable features. the obvious one would be WEBGL_debug_renderer_info which leaks your gpu model. that might be fine if you're running intel uhd graphics, but for someone with high end discrete graphics it's quite revealing. There's also more[1]

2. what if you don't have a 1920x1080 monitor? if you have a 1440p or 4k monitor, then what? JS APIs allow you to get both the viewport size as well as the monitor size. That's going to make you stick out as well. You can try to mitigate this by running in a VM, but then your GPU model would show up as "VMware SVGA 3D" or "Virtualbox Graphics Adapter", which also makes you stick out like a sore thumb.

Ask HN: Is this an American restaurant? –. and other questions
I was looking up the opening times for a little cabin in a local park here in the UK which sells coffee and a few items of food to take away. I accidentally ended up on Trip Advisor which asked me "Is this an American restaurant?".

These sorts of questions seem to be a thing on some websites and on google but I never really understood what it is about. I hope some folks here might enlighten me - namely:

1. What motivates this from a business perspective - does this activity have a name?
2. Are these questions asked by site visitors?
3. Since I am local do they guess I might know?
4. If I ask "Can I buy a lawnmower here" will someone get asked that?
5. Is the data collected useful?

As to what qualifies something as an American restaurant I have no idea.

Anecdotally this is the first method I found to open the door when I got mine but it did take several seconds - time I would probably not like to spend if my car was on fire with me in it. Then the car made a noise and displayed a warning about damaging the windows or something if I kept doing that and to push the button instead so I've done that ever since.

While I remembered the physical lever existed, I forgot where it actually was until this post so I would likely be spending that time to figure it out again and probably just panic and break the window like the person in the original article did.
