"don't roll your own crypto" is good advice, but it's also against the hacker ethos. It's another way of saying "you'll never really understand this so don't try, just rely on a mysterious cabal of experts".

May be true, but not exactly a great message.
Indeed, Matt Levine covered one just yesterday[1] that seems to follow pretty much the same path the Twitter one is going...

I know someone that works for a crypto company that pays in USDT. The pay is very good, and since we're not from the US it's easier than being paid in fiat currency.

I'm not able to compare whether is better or worse, though.
By using a WireGuard VPN you could actually be connected to multiple endpoints at a time, if you are able to set the same tunnel IP for all endpoints.
That would enable you to have that one connection open routing to different servers (Mullvad / Homelab / Offsite Lab / Work / etc ...) hence also using your own DNS resolver with a commercial VPN.
Works well when explaining open source too. Proprietary is when the restaurants don't disclose the recipe, you just hope that they'll do a good job like last time, or that your allergies don't trigger. Government is forcing food products to disclose at least parts of their recipe, making it partially open. GPL needs you to include the recipe along with the food you serve to people, but not when you cook at home. And so on
> When PAL was set up, the Air Force set all the weapons to "00000000." I wish I were making that up. They did it to subvert the PAL program because the generals resented having to ask for authority to launch nukes in event it was necessary.

While I overall agree with your point, the (alleged) reasoning behind having PAL codes at 00000000 was mainly about being _unable_ to retaliate in certain decapitation attack scenarios. I don't know how realistic this was, or to what degree it was just an excuse to get away with the behavior you quote.

Musk is clearly in the wrong here (absent any lies in the twitter document, which I would find very unlikely).
Musk is acting like a spoiled child. Let's see what happens when a man with infinite resources tries to get what he wants. Has the court system enough muscle to handle this (i.e. Musk hasn't too many "bought" sympathizers in the system).
> Would also help for the government to tax stock buybacks as profit and dividends.

Why? The gain from stock buy back is already captured in capital gains taxes. Simply increase the capital gains tax rate of the goal is to increase taxes collection.
I, for one, am happy for this merger / acquisition.

As a mobile games developer, I feel that Unity as a game engine has lost its way in the last few years, and the recent acquisitions reflect that. Instead of capitalizing on its merits and strengths - an easy-to-bootstrap multi-platform engine which is perfect for mobile development - Unity has opted to try and compete in the AAA/AAA-like market against Unreal. The recent announcments and the features actually being delivered from Unity support that strategic transition, and this leaves the engine in a state of constant conflict with itself.

Ask anyone who tried to integrate a 3rd party advertisment engine into their game and you'll understand why including a 'default' or an easy-to-bootstrap advertising and user-acquisition tool is a good move. This will hopefully streamline what is nowadays a less than ideal process. That is, if the merger will be capitalized upon instead of just serving the stock owners.
Is FaaS Serverless worth it?
Do these arguments defends against the claims made in the suit brought by Twitter? No? Well then how are they relevant? How are the bots relevant to that suit?

Of course Musk is free to counter-sue I guess and make the bots the point of contention.

Missouri officials used women's menstrual cycle data in 2019 in a quest to shut down the state's last abortion clinic.[0] This was legal due to a lack of HIPAA restrictions.

It would not be difficult to use this data in a post-Roe US to litigate against abortions.

I'm not concerned about the companies. I'm concerned about domestic agencies that purchase that data to workaround restrictions that prevent them from collecting it.[1][2][3][4](stretching to inf.) Like your parent commenter stated, this is to avoid Fourth Amend­ment restrictions.

>The adult Atlantis dolphins had been performing in captivity for almost a decade, and the captive-born juveniles had never hunted in the wild. They all needed to be shown how to hunt for fish. While some of the dolphins responded immediately, the captive-born dolphins “seemed to treat the exercise as a game and would often all chase the same fish, competing more with each other than actually showing any ability to forage” according to researcher Kelly Waples.

Somehow that's uncomfortably familiar.

But you used the term as well - I disagree with both you and the OP on if this case should be called "leaky abstraction".

That's not a useful definition of "leaky abstraction" by any means. Who decides if "particular performance guarantees" have been provided or not?

I think it’s important to go into it knowing that it’s a piece of YA literature. What I enjoyed were the mechanics and chess game of “burning” magic, as well as characters like Sazed where there is just so much to unpack.

I also think it has a strong portrayal of complex, sustained trauma that is handled very well through the character of Vin. It’s something I think really has a great home in the YA genre while still being a fun page turner/action-y book.

I get what you’re saying, but I also just didn’t go looking for LOTR because I knew that wasn’t what this was. It’s somewhere between a fun summer fantasy series and LOTR. Not as thin as the former, not as rich as the latter. Pretty easy to chew through while also giving you something to savor.

A lot of the mystique of suburbia is the illusion of being the owner of a house in the country. It’s more of a tradition now, as modern developments have minimal yards.

You’re also selling the idea that there isn’t any crime. Instead of keeping the world off your property, you’ve moved to another world.

In some developments, they deliberately site the houses so that if you look directly out the front windows, you see the space between the two houses across the street.
Don't know about Chatelet but the last time I was to London (which is not more than a year ago), the tunnels and trains seemed fine.

Model That Predicts Common Events Occur Once in 10k Elections Maybe Wrong Model
I think we nearly agree, but I’d say you’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The bathwater is the notion of a subjective cosmos, some overarching supreme being to whom specific events ought to matter somehow. I’m very happy to throw out that bathwater, along with other theocratic sophistries that still influence our thinking too much. The baby is meaning itself, all of which takes place within the cosmos, and every instance of which is subjectively experienced by some specific subject, by definition. And crucially, these subject–object connections can themselves be observed by third parties as real, objective phenomena through abundant evidence. They are as real as potatoes or sound waves.

This part of your comment feels like a non sequitur:

> Does it matter then? Not really

You just said it matters to you. Then you said it doesn’t ‘really’ matter because it doesn’t matter to…the cosmos as a whole? So what? It doesn’t matter to your toaster either, nor to my cat, but it still matters to you. For something to ‘matter’ there must be some particular object that matters to some particular subject, and in this case the subject is you. Your reason for doing it doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter to you, it’s just an explanation of why it matters to you.

Maybe you mean 70 years(WWII), but genocides happened during the Yugoslav wars, or you meant the latter, which were only 30 years ago.
Indeed. In World War II Britain was dependant upon food imports even with rationing. After a period in which German U-boats happened to be unusually effective at destroying civilian transports, it got down to maybe a week's supply.

The government assumption was that - once the population realises they're going to be starved - they will revolt and insist on agreeing terms with Germany in exchange for food. Given what we later saw in Japan (which did starve its civilian population and they did not in fact rise up and force Japan to surrender) perhaps they were too pessimistic, we will never know because the next convoy got through.

A lot of the evidence cited here is of very low quality/interest, such as observational and correlational studies. It does cite the best study we have so far, a large-scale RCT from Bangladesh:

> A report in Nature explained that researchers running a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of community mask use in Bangladesh “began by developing a strategy to promote mask wearing, with measures such as reminders from health workers in public places. This ultimately tripled mask usage, from only 13% in control villages to 42% in villages where it was encouraged”, and “then compared numbers of COVID-19 cases in control villages and the treatment communities”. They found that the number of infections in mask wearing communities decreased, with a reduction of COVID symptoms using surgical masks to 0.87 times the incidence in unmasked communities, and 0.91 times when using cloth masks.

Unfortunately they have misquoted the numbers here. Surgical masks reduced the prevalence of COVID-like symptoms by 11%, and of actual confirmed COVID cases by 9.5%, while cloth masks did about half as well [0]. So tripling the number of people wearing masks up to about 40% of the population has a very mild effect on COVID spread, and this is before Omicron. I don't think this makes a good case for mask mandates in 2022.

A song stuck in my head can make me restless all night as well.

One fix I’ve found that often works for me is listening to instrumental jazz every night before bed. It’s variable/random enough that it knocks the stuck song out of my mind without replacing it with another. Search for “jazz for sleep” playlists, there are a few decent ones out there.
There’s a certain poetic justice in that.
Every idea can be interpreted in this light. In fact, a modified version of this argument is often used by conservatives opposing women in the workforce.

“Well sure, womens rights might be good, but you see, the feminists twisted a good message and now they use it to push women away from motherhood and into corporations so the corporations make more profit and sell them more things”

Is it also bad when feminists encourage womens participation in the workforce?

Hi All,

Atorable can improve PageSpeed, lower data costs, lower server load and fix viral content choke.

Atorable simply works with your webpack build or other builds. Atorable also has react component.

Atorable resolves the targeted import/require() of a javascript file into a Webtorrent magnet uri. During the build the target file and torrent file are emitted in the build or stored externally via Atorable API. The emitted and stored files act as the seeds for the torrent. Paid plans integrate easily with your build to further decrease your server load and simplify your development.

Use without signing up:

Webpack:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/atorable-loader

React:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/atorable-react

Cheers,

Serge

> With ironSource, Unity will take the linear process of making games and RT3D content and experiences and make it an interconnected and interactive one - creating the opportunity to innovate and improve at every step of the cycle.

> What if that process was no longer "first create; then monetize?” What if creators had an engine for live games that by default enabled them to gain early indicators of success for their games through user acquisition of their prototype, and gave them a feedback loop to improve their games based on real player interactions as early in the process as possible?

Sounds like utter nonsense to me. Does anyone have an optimistic take on what this is trying to say in a good direction? I'm reading it as shipping more unfinished games, possibly with more ads
> If you don't become a mini-expert yourself, you will start delegating lots of decisions, and the final result may or may not be optimal. Just look at Boeing.

I'm assuming you're talking about Boeing's screw-ups with 737 MAX. If so, you've got it backwards. The 737 MAX's design issues were precisely because the leadership (i.e., non-engineering management) wouldn't delegate to the authority of the experts (i.e., the engineers) and forced their own decisions on the project. They did not become "mini-experts" themselves, sure, since they didn't actually put in the effort to understand what the consequences would be, but they did treat themselves as "mini-experts", as evidenced by their "we know better than the engineers" attitude to the concerns that were raised by engineering during the development of the MAX.

There are those who believe that conditions such as committing to international standards and democracy, even though well-intended, are actually counter-productive — at least during a country's development phase.

It's indeed an open question how beneficial the relationship will be in the long term. But it's not at all guaranteed that it will end up like Portugal. China was a big naval power during the Ming dynasty, but didn't colonize Africa or South-East Asia. One should be careful with projecting western history onto China.

Some high-profile Chinese figures recognize the problem that BRI projects don't always end up benefitting people. For example, Zhang Chun, researcher at the Center for African Studies at Yunnan University, said this:
