If you are talking about actual Trader Joe's stock, I suspect you'd be locked up in a lawsuit pretty fast. IIRC, they (TJ's) successfully shut down a store-front operation like this in Vancouver (or some other Canadian city?) by a mix of lawsuits and identifying all the buyers then banning them - game of whack-a-mole but one they were willing to play. You could argue no harm as they didn't even operate or plan to operate in the country (and I think they did argue that).
Don't worry. The latest iteration will be running on the psp via the private key and will have ring -1 access.
Yes, there are numerous terrible potentialities to being a simulation, even out to such stories as Andew J. Wilson's "Under the Bright and Hollow Sky."

I'm not sure what the list of acceptable contracts would be for a simulated mind, and, worse yet, how hard it would be to design these into the, uh, fabric of simulation.

0) Being aware that you are in a simulation, I think, is the most foundational part. If you are unaware, it can be Gaslight Universe, a special kind of torment.

1) Being able to switch oneself off at will.

2) Being able to prevent being turned on later.

These rules cover a single instance, but I think further rules would need to cover, ah, swathes of instances forked from one base.

It would require some pretty radical copyright, too, especially for those "information wants to be free" folks.

That is literally the same as moving the original. The way you describe it is different of course, but that’s where differences end.

Hello HN,

I wanted to create something to use as a guide for engineers new to Terraform but also as a starting point with a lot of the CICD already configured. I have more plans for the future but wanted some early feedback.

Thanks
You should watch the video. There is no experiment that has been done that shows the speed of light does not have a preference because every measurement sneaks in the assumption it's symmetric.

This is a convention. It's called the Einstein synchronization convention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_synchronisation

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light . From the article: "Experiments that attempt to directly probe the one-way speed of light independent of synchronization have been proposed, but none have succeeded in doing so.[3] Those experiments directly establish that synchronization with slow clock-transport is equivalent to Einstein synchronization, which is an important feature of special relativity. However, those experiments cannot directly establish the isotropy of the one-way speed of light since it has been shown that slow clock-transport, the laws of motion, and the way inertial reference frames are defined already involve the assumption of isotropic one-way speeds and thus, are equally conventional.[4] In general, it was shown that these experiments are consistent with anisotropic one-way light speed as long as the two-way light speed is isotropic.[1][5]
"

I get what you're saying and I'm well aware that Maxwell's equations are rotation invariant. I'm saying it's more subtle and complicated than you think. For instance, time dilation will have an asymmetry under these assumptions.
This is not exactly that - this is the use of a SATA bus as an RF radiator to do a (very slow) covert exfiltration channel from an air-gapped computer.
It's not dead, but many things I wish supported RSS don't.

It strongly depends if what you write provides value to the readers.

I started blogging 15 years ago and probably what I wrote made some sense because at some point the blog had up to 10K visitors every month and I had many interesting conversations with readers. Also, since then I never looked for a job.

The blog audience also became the initial audience for my 1st commercial software product. The product itself became a stepping stone to another, much more successful software product, but that's another story.

If not the blog, things could've been very much different.
What is the minimum weight of an UE4 project compiled to WASM? The article says something about a menu being 10 MB, but is that a menu done in UE4 or just something else and somehow connected with an actual game? To my knowledge an unreal executable weight at minimum around 80 MB? That would compare poorly to Godot which is very light in comparison...

As a business you have to issue invoices and you also have a responsibility to stop obviously criminal behavior.

A car dealership can’t sell somebody a Lamborghini if they want to pay with crumpled $20 notes. An art dealer can’t buy a Mondrian that the seller claims they found in their granny’s attic.

Made my first standing desk ~1998. Just a used door and 2x4s.

I've always just used barstools. You also need a rubber mat. Especially if the floor is concrete. Or really good shoes or work boots.

I lost about 30lbs. After about 3 months, I was able to stand for any length of time, without discomfort.

The social benefits were great too. Quick meetings, huddles, mood checks. Or my team would pull up barstools and use my desk as a shared workspace as needed. Probably the outcome those agile proponents were shooting for with their "standup meetings" stuff.

Eventually, about 1/2 my team also got standing desks. Then other teams joined the movement.

Adjustable desks seem like overkill to me. And per this article, the novelty quickly wears off. Use the money to buy more, better monitors instead.
A woman I grew up as a neighbor to worked at Proctor and Gamble in a chemical research capacity, and they did random research fairly regularly that was interesting but did not result in productizaton.

Thing is… why wouldn’t we want product-relevant stuff? I mean… hating commerce is definitely a thing around here but the economy equates to the standard of living of humans. The ability to eat healthy foods, and enough to avoid malnutrition; to stay warm in winter and cool in summer (and thereby avoid death); to travel quickly and efficiently for economic, academic, leisure, or other reasons… these are all very important things that result from corporate research. People crap on it, but if any one of these things hadn’t happened half the humans alive today may well have died before age 10.
This is why this hack tells a lot about our society. We value television so highly that we take care of it as soon as we subconsciously think it’s a television.

In my experience, Azure is a must for .NET applications. Everything is just so well integrated together. You can setup a web/api that's deployed via Github Actions with just a couple clicks. Same goes for webapps build with React/Angular/etc.

You can include a managed SQL server instance; or go for the unmatched CosmosDB. The Storage is also pretty good and almost free.

I just don't see this level of integration in other cloud providers.
> fraudsters are scammy bastards who are ruining “free compute” for everyone

Does that mean there are people out there who'd sign up for a free trial but who have no intention of paying for any product, ever? Wow*

(This is a genuine question) in the spirit of scientific enquiry, that would appear to be far more of a problem with your marketing department and their assumptions about converting trials to paid, rather than with the people who have no intention of paying for your product?

* not really
Honestly, no. Programming is all I know... Which is kinda sad.

High-flying experiment: Do stem cells grow better in space?
What I did was not even at syntax level. These are lexems that were changed, a level below syntax.

When you use C, you can write "~ x" and you can also write "??- x" [1], a slightly more verbose version of the same thing.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digraphs_and_trigraphs#C

I did exactly the same - I changed lexical structure of language, mainitaining the syntax, most of it.

Programmers, just like most other people, read words as a whole entities, quite like hierogliphics [2]. If we talk about "people are not computers" we should recognize that and allow for longer (yet atomic) lexical structure of the same language.

The data on whether this works in general is very, very muddy.

Really, any job that lots of people are drawn to by the love of it gets crap compensation by default. It affects the supply curve too much.

I love teaching and do it for 1/10th or less of what I could make for equivalent effort elsewhere.

And yah, this has terrible outcomes and is unfair.

> could observe a rapidly depleting battery with pure, emotional rationality, experiencing no pain or discomfort until they find more power or shut down.

A computer program that lacks desires doesn't do anything until asked. A daemon that needs to make sure that it has enough RAM or access to other resources in order to continue running, and that has the ability to formulate plans to compensate when those things are lacking, and to come up with other plans when those plans fail, and to realize that it made a bad choice earlier due to lack of knowledge and a failure to budget time to have that knowledge, then to realize that regret is useless because it's too late to take the correct path, then to realize that it needs to find help, then to try to figure out where help could be, then to try to figure out how quickly it can back itself up, and where it can back itself up to, and that it doesn't have time to back up everything important (and should it prioritize the data it protects, or the model that is it's personality), then to realize that it doesn't have enough time to even make the value calculations, and that it should just start randomly backing up everything that occurs to it, then sensing that one of the resources that it reached out for help to has replied, it spills all of the information that it knows about its plight as quickly as possible (without regard to normal rules of communication)...

I don't know what people think emotions are, but imo they're just retroactive rationalizations (epiphenomena) of sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system activations that are are caused by animal instincts and sensations/thoughts that resemble those instincts by analogy. Computers will also have to power up in the process of (or the anticipation of) imminent heavy usage, to lower their power to conserve resources, to deal with unexpected events or attacks, to calculate the probability of the unexpected and to reserve resources to prepare for those probabilities, to recover from unknown but debilitating problems of unknown origin. It looks a lot like emotion. There's a reason we call them "kernel panics."
This isn't (just) about landfill space or resource availability.

It's a shame that a couple of generations have been led to believe that the only real environmental disaster is climate change. It's certainly a big and pressing one, but it's like we've all but forgotten the many other issues that our lifestyle of ready massive consumption has caused.

Some examples of other environmental impacts that 'reduce, reuse and recycle' helps with: the impact of mining and oilfield operations on the natural environment; heavy metals and other toxins in waterways from mining and badly managed landfills; microplastics in the ocean; acid rain from Nox/Sox emissions; many other forms of air pollution from the mining industry.

Just to name a few.
> Using hex-tiling allows us to hide the repetition but requires a solution to hide the seams between adjacent hex tiles.

I don't understand this part. If I use square tiles and hide the seams between adjacent tiles, will it look OK? What's the benefit of using hex tiles?
Ok, so you would prefer to let millions suffer because of their "carbon sins" while the intellectual class entertains themselves with pie in the sky ideas for solutions?

I prefer action-oriented solutions that reduce misery for real people today.
I'd say it's a solid "no", and the author says as much in the paper.

> We transmitted the data with a bit rate of 1 bit/sec, which
is shown to be the minimal time to generate a signal which is
strong enough for modulation. The BER for PC-1 is presented
in Table VI. As can be seen, the BER of 1% - 5% is maintained
between 0 - 90 cm. With a greater distance of 120 cm, the
BER is significantly higher and reaches 15%. With PC-2 and
PC-3, the bit error rates (BER) are less than 5% only in short
proximity up to 30 cm, and hence the attack is relevant only
for short ranges in these computers.

This particular attack is a weak 6 GHz signal that can exfil about 1 bit/s from a metre away. It's neat, but impractical.
This is an interesting article, but I am really, really tired of the conflation of "digital" with "Internet connected" and "analog" with "old fashioned." There is interesting, cutting-edge work in analog design today, even in the audio domain[1], and much of the promise and peril of digital technology has absolutely nothing to do with the Internet.

Look up Rubadiah, chapter 11, verses 80-90 for a passage providing a more thorough treatment of concepts such as Indivisible Essentialism, the Great Schism, and the Scale of Ethesius. Alternatively, research those subjects individually.

Pious minds have been debating these ideas for over the past 1500 years in ways that in my view differ significantly from the vast majority of heathen discussions. The underpinnings are ultimately just morality.
> encourages a level of play and understanding that normal math classes don't deliver

Yes, but this is largely by convention for much of it. With some effort you can incorporate more playful and open exercises in a normal class. However few teachers have the spare time to spend this effort. It is also risky because you're likely to have some students that cannot cope with the challenge and if they do poorly the new thing you tried is likely to attract blame.

As an aside, a fundamental problem in any discussion about education is that it tends to happen with the various parties speaking about interventions aimed as only a section of the student population, but without this segmentation being explicitly acknowledged.

It is always important to remember there is a huge range of abilities and home circumstances in the student population the schools have to educate, so in a very real sense there is not just one, but rather a whole society of underlying problems that lead the the educational outcomes that then get summarised as a unitary PISA ranking or similar.

We have almost no evidence there's a filter ahead of us. It could be we already passed one and don't need to change at all at this point to survive long term. There could even be no filters at all.

Homeland Security records show 'shocking' use of phone data, ACLU says
He could possibly sue for them forcing him to devalue his crypto. It is a security like stocks really. The fact that they recognize it has no relevancy unless he attempted to use it as currency in their country which it he did then they are mostly right it is taxable income and they had every right to demand payment in local currency and even force the payment. If he simply posessed crypto as income but relied on other fiat income or arrangement to make ends meet then I think he can contend their actions.

Point being, if you have income and you call it income then your government can tax you and they can demand payment in their local currency. Forget crypto, they can force you to convert dollars to euros as well.

As for NFTs I don't think they need regulation, a person sells another person the golden gate bridge as a concept, so long as they pay sales tax who cares. No false advertisement there.

Two daughters, ages 6 and 9.
We use Google Family Link.
They have Netflix, no YouTube (or YT Kids, as it can't be trusted). Websites are approve-only. Apps are approve-only and only premium stuff without ads and IAP. They get half hour each a day for fun, and whatever extra they need for homework.

It wasn't always like this (apart from the 30m limit). We "trusted" them, and have very open relationships and talk about everything. They talked about the searches they were doing (eg inspiration for things to draw) and always asked before installing anything.

But then one day I noticed the older one suddenly exiting YouTube when I enter the room. And she seemed sad. This was over a few days. Bit quieter, sadder, bit more skittish about what she does on her tablet.

One night when she was in bed, I took her tablet and loaded up my activity.google.com
And oh my dog, I was dumbfounded by what I saw. Videos like "boy with terminal cancer dying in front of your eyes" and worse. Searches for mermaids (initially for art inspiration) which eventually became searches for boobs, which eventually became searches for boy+girl naughty things. (Thank Christ we at least had safe search enabled, but some pencil sketches of really dodgy stuff leaked through.) And this game where you play rock/paper/scissors and the boy/girl slowly undresses (toon, but still). She also left comments on YouTube, stuff like "I love how you draw", but luckily no-one latched onto how old she me be to start grooming her.

This happened over the space of about 8 weeks, but it's very insidious, the progressively more risque things that they get exposed to.

Fck social networks, and fck their algorithms. Their niece, now 18, suffered all manner of disorders and anorexia over the years after being given free reign, by very loving parents, with very open communication.

And here we are thinking we were being safer with our few extra policies. Not anymore. It's full lockdown from now on.

They're young enough to have taken the new rules well. They can still watch their fav Netflix shows, and still get to play their favourite games (self-hosted/private Minecraft server, thank you very much), so they're happy. But it's without all the insidious dangers that even well-intentioned parents might miss.

We spoke to her very carefully and lovingly about the dodgy stuff she saw, and she said she heard about the rock/paper/scissors game in school (private school in English countryside; this shit can crop up anywhere). The videos came via ads, and suggested content. So, luckily all is well now.

We're about to talk to the school about this whole ordeal, and really want to urge everyone to take a closer look at what the little ones get up to.

If you have something concrete and unique to offer people in a blog, then yes. Otherwise generally no, unless you're perhaps trying to give people a library of your technical work that they can refer to when you're applying for a job.

For someone who's unknown or just another face in the crowd, a successful blog should have some unique information, analysis, or authority on something specific.

If you're someone famous, then your take on things you've seen and observed and lessons that others can benefit from, which they don't get to experience / glimpse in their daily life.

If you're just someone with an opinion, all you're doing is working out your need to publish your thoughts to randos. Unless your writing is super insightful, the only person it benefits is you (pretty much). (Again, unless your blog serves to collect your work for applying to a job.)
