You say all this, but I know a disabled elderly couple who bought into it based on the hype and advice of people around them. Needless to say, all of them lost their money. Not everybody wants a "get rich quick" scheme, a decent chunk of folks just want to beat inflation and make sure they can afford to stay retired in their old age.

With how people were talking about crypto up until recently, you would think it was "better than gold" or "better than stocks" or "better than forex". Those were repeated commonly by many people who were in no position to be offering any kind of financial advice. Look at all the celebrities that got on board with pumping tokens. Look at the Staples Center being renamed as the Crypto.com Stadium. Look at world governments mulling over CDBCs. Look at El Salvador with Bitcoin and Chivo.

I'm not saying "crypto good, you are wrong", I am completely anti-cryptocurrency in its current form, there isn't one viable use for it, and that's without even getting into throughput speeds, scaling issues, or energy consumption. I am however saying that victim shaming is shady.
Windows Server 2016+ with Secure Boot enabled won't allow loading of any third-party non-HLK-certified drivers, whether they are signed or unsigned. That's why.

And HLK is only for device drivers, not for any regular drivers, as far as I know.
Sure we can call it the 'curiousgal Fallacy'.

Let me explain my downvote here.

You are not wrong, and as an american it is infuriating to see what our country has become.

But that makes his original point no less valid.

China silenced the WHO and the WHO literally pretended their internet went out when asked about Taiwan.

Both sides having done something fucked up doesn't negate what's going on in this situation, thus the 'both sides-ism'

If it did all arguments would be over instantly, as only babies are innocent.

There are degrees of fucked up and context matters.

Statistics show a huge increase in rail traffic, but only a small reduction in road traffic between cities. People just started taking extra train journeys for pleasure.
I used to do the same. Sometimes I would remember to squash my convenience linebreaks back down into real paragraphs for the recipient.

I assume you use vim or emacs for editing -- vertical movement between lines is more convenient than movement within a single wrapped line.

In vim, you can use gj or gk for vertical movement within a wrapped line.

At some point I decided to make the arrow keys more useful:

map <silent> <Up> gk
map <silent> <Down> gj
Only snapchat does it automatically. You have to do it intentionally otherwise and in this case explain your intent.
Amazon has a goal to fire 6% every year.

That's the controversial part, which for some reason this article doesn't really go into.
What market investment is not speculative?

Commodities? Forex? Stock market? Bonds? Rare art?

Investing is a horrible idea for laypeople
> cost of infrastructure

It may be negative, as permanent change would allow to reduce road and parking funding.

Also, overall pollution would be lower.
Yep. Know an elderly couple that did exactly this, and so did their friends. It is shockingly common. They were all exploited. Someone should be held accountable.
Pointlessly obnoxious comment of the day right there
The video talks about a metal-oxide framework; no idea of the lifetime of them but they seem to be the cool new tech used in everything at the moment.
Title of post: "Gnome Turns 25". So maybe and maybe not. I just ran into so much WTF I find it hard to imagine it's fixed now, plus some others here rather agree. It's enough to put me off anyway.
Probably best to decline politely if you don't need it.

I've wanted to pay sometimes for people - but didn't have the courage... shame.
As somebody who lost money in the Voyager collapse, why can't we say both?

People shouldn't have invested more than they could afford to lose, and the recent crypto situation is a massive systemic regulatory failure. Predatory companies were making impossible promises with zero transparency and accountability, BUT it's still on the investor to do their due diligence if they're going to be placing huge bets.
Nope https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Humidity-per...
So sick of reading all the time about people wanting to get rich from crypto grift. It's not providing any value to society to buy crypto and resell it at a higher price later to some sucker.

These people don't even want to use crypto to make transactions. It's definitely not a good idea to put all your net worth in it for a number of reasons also. Principally being it's not a mature system. There's nothing that says a new crypto alternative will come out tomorrow that totally voids all the stuff that exists today.

Idk, this feels like a bit of a double standard. Either being mistreated justifies bad behavior, or it doesn't. If it justifies insulting a customer service rep who didn't personally ban you in the first place, then that rep upholding your ban due to being unnecessarily aggressive is justified too.
If you've already fixed it in a french press why follow that up with a drip filter?
To be honest, your reply came off as very condescending.

I don't know how anyone could predict that Twitter's crazy algorithm would flag that tweet, any more than they could predict that Twitter's crazy algorithm would flag a video of a cat game. It's all too easy to sit in judgment in hindsight, given the fact that Twitter's crazy algorithm did flag the tweet. But nobody really knows how it works with foresight.
Right... do you yell at waiters and phone support people too? You're doing that to someone who has absolutely nothing to do with the problem you are having, is probably often harrassed by people like you, and who are at literally the lowest rung on the ladder. You're making people's day worse for absolutely no reason except that you can't make yourself feel better without being obnoxious to someone else.
> But really, the virus doesn't know that much about what surface it's on, right?

actually, it might. Porous vs impermeable surfaces can affect how long a viral particle remains infectious.

Could also be potential electrostatic effects, copper for example.

How I publish my website (Zim and Rsync) (2015)
That bias is correct, at least outside of the North East corridor. Amtrak owns most of the track in the North East Corridor which incidentally is the only place it is profitable. Outside of this corridor the tracks are mostly owned by 5 railroads [1]. Passenger rail is supposed to have priority as Amtrak was the entity created in order to relieve railroads from being required to provide passenger service. This however is an area of a lot of friction. For a recent example of this mess see"

> What a joke.

It is simple. Google is making more money from copycat sites then from original content...
Makes total sense to me.

I personally would probably pay the €69 if my employer paid a part, since I already pay €40 / €63 for Berlin, which I consider a good deal.

But for people that have a car and tourists €70 is indeed a bit steep.
We don't even know if real numbers are "real."
Other search engines allow you to block domains from showing up in the results. I’ve switched to Kagi out of frustration and honestly it’s as good or better than Google just because of that one feature.
City public transportation, at a very minimum, should be free. The NYC Subway should be free. The Tube in London should be free.

The standard American response is to object on the grounds that we're subsidizing something and it's a wasteful government expenditure. You know what else that applies to? Roads. We subsidize roads and everyone is OK with that.

Charging for public transport is just a regressive tax on what are typically the lowest paid workers.

Regional transportation is more interesting. I'm not sure how that'll work in practice but I'm open to it.
We took N3007 which does not have inference on return etc.

Yes.That objective is totally crazy and I wonder why no one is criticizing it. Crazy stuff.
Erm, we've been dealing with coronovirus since the Spanish Flu at least. It seems that any new strain can contain surprises.
Non-story. You trade performance for a fan less design and portability, and even then the burst performance (which is what people consuming content like websites) is great for quite a long burst.

I’m usually a defender of Apple to be perfectly honest, but the trade off here definitely feels a lot more fair to to user. They could downclock the CPU, fix the sustained load performance by having it less than the current burst and never thermal throttle.

But that’s a worse experience for no actual user benefit.

And adding thermal pads turns the thig into a very uncomfortable device that potentially causes infertility.
I believe so, at least through L7 (senior manager). I was L6 and only did a few manager calibrations before I left. Another commenter said they were an L7 SDM, they would know better than I. The sense I had was that things work differently for L8 (director/senior principal) and above but I have no first hand experience or knowledge of that.
really? How come reality keeps agreeing with me then? Where are these amazing quantum mechanics applications? U really believe in super position?? really? How long have they been working on QC? 50 years now? it never seems to work or be ready.. i wonder why.

The world isn’t black and white.

Certain diseases are more like an STD than not. Saying it is not an STD is like saying HIV is not an STD.

People will argue both sides to a meaningless end. Who cares what it is… care how it spreads and what follows, etc.
I've heard good things from guys working with Nim at Nimbus/Status; precisely because the community isn't that big they have great communication with the language maintainers and can even influence future language features/development.

But that is predicated on you finding a job first!
FWIW there are quite a few good de-alcoholized beers now. If you enjoy the taste of beer, but do not need/want the buzz, it’s worth giving them a shot. I won’t promote any particular brand here; it’s easy to find reviews on the web. (Also FWIW, a shot of bitters, lemon, or lime juice is very tasty in the pale ale styles.)
€69 is still a great price. Before I started to work fully remotely I was driving by train to work I found that our local train carrier here in Poland (Koleje Dolnoslaskie) have something like this in offer. For 320 zł (~€67 back then, I’m not sure about current price) you can go wherever you want by their train. So basically covers entire Lower Silesian Voivodeship. What’s also great about them is that they are buying all railroads possible to put trains there and their goal is to: (1) all cities have train connection available and (2) they want it to be free somewhere in future.
It’s already great and there are way more people travelling by train than it was about e.g. 10 years ago.
>However there are stories of teams going a step further and hacking home routers from random IPs located in various countries. I guess that's trading in ethics and legality for CTF points.

Is finding a single proxy in a country that hard that you need to do that? I would assume proxy lists including each country would already exist.
LLVM IR isn’t stable or even portable. It’s just a compiler IR, not a language.
Except that what's being implied about the New York Times and New York Post articles in that quote is misleading. Yes, the headlines mention the flashy gains, but both of the referenced articles repeatedly mention the losses and scammy aspects of some coins.

For example, here's a pull quote from the NYT piece:

> But as some people mint millions from little-known cryptocurrencies, others have seen impressive gains disappear overnight. For every Solana or Luna, there’s an out-of-the-way token that shoots up in value, only for its price to collapse. Some of these projects are scams, or what industry experts call “rug pulls,” in which someone aggressively markets a coin, then immediately liquidates the holdings, leaving investors with major losses.

The whole second half of the article is about such scams and how many gains are ephemeral "paper gains".

Meanwhile, the New York Post piece quotes an expert who says "The volatility attracts people who like gambling, excitement and so forth ... They’re not so interested in underlying economics, but [rather] the chance of a very rapid, high gain, or a very rapid, sharp loss." It also profiles a TikTok influencer who uses astrology to predict coin prices -- with the clear implication that this is ridiculous.

So while the overall message of the essay is on point (there was tremendous misleading and dangerous advertisement), a lot of "traditional journalism" was in fact extremely skeptical and quick to point this out.
Where are the documents?

These "news" sites never link their sources.
That’s not going to work out in your favor for the simple fact that roads already exist and maintenance is extremely cheap. It’s paid for with gasoline taxes.

Whereas rail is unbelievably expensive. The MTA budget for the NYC metro area is $18.6 billion. Compare that to the $11.8 billion budget for the entire New York State Department of Transportation.

…and that’s for an existing rail system.
Well, doing over time means you can steer (i.e. adapt to new situations and learning). Among the problems with Sri Lanka's decree is there was no time to adapt.

For example, it takes time to switch a field over to organic, and who will pay for the more expensive yet not yet qualified organic crop? Where are the distribution chains (never mind the supply chains).

I don't know enough about Canada's plan (only this article) to criticize or praise it. But I do know that your criticism, on its face, is not appropriate.
Flu shot effectiveness averages around 35-40%. It used to be higher on average and has been dropping over the past decade.
Housing costs are increasing faster than inflation

Hence, sad to say, it is becoming more the case that they key to homeownership in many cities is investing in something that grows faster than inflation as well

It’s (sadly) largely the reason why I think Robinhood became so popular
> Best strategy for becoming a high paying/good software engineer would be to think of yourselves as problem solver and language as just one of the tool for problem solving.

Some languages contort and constrain your thinking in bad or silly ways.

> Thinking of yourselves as someone who is a writer of a certain programming language is self constarining and missing the point.

I find this view tends to lead to only using popular languages anyway because you don't seek out any specific language, so the effect of this belief itself is self-constraining.
There's plenty of investments that aren't speculative. Speculative investments are high risk investments, not investments involving any degree of uncertainty. Bonds and broad market index funds are considered to not be speculative despite some degree of uncertainty about their future growth.
Exactly. According to German Wikipedia:

"The ticket is part of a relief package decided by the Scholz cabinet due to the increased energy costs due to the Russian attack on Ukraine"

You can maintain it, and get the associated glory and fame!

(it honestly seems relatively finished, so I don't think there's all that much work, either.)
This is a topic I have been interested in for a while. Is it viable to compose fancy large documents in plain TeX without a lot of effort replicating functionality provided by LaTeX (if your requirements stay constant)?

I am a heavy user of the memoir class, and I have always suspected moving to plain TeX would not be that hard. However, the fraction of users doing this seems pretty slim so modern TeX workflows do not seem really well documented.
> but the nesting limit (?) precludes that

the nesting limit is way deeper than this, there's a cooldown timer for replying too fast in a thread. and if you view the page for the comment, you can always reply.
> I too favor a "code early" strategy. Though I always write down sample data inputs and outputs on paper or in a text file. Sometimes I realize I misunderstood some aspect of an API I'm using. It's good to learn that early on.

> I'm a test-first fan, so I start coding by doing a small test of a small bit of functionality. I'm not doctrinaire, so sometimes I'll write functionality before tests, but usually not. And I write tests pretty soon after if I don't write them first.

I also do this and find it very helpful in breaking down assumptions. I will add that it has been, in my experience, best to do _everything_ to break down assumptions of any kind first - you don't want to find out far later in the process that some technical solution you had isn't viable for your needs, or even that some business-oriented solution doesn't pan out.
> The US has a massive setup cost problem, any significant infrastructure project takes years of regulatory hurdles and then legal challenges as competitors and NIMBYs try everything they can to slow things down.

This is exactly what I meant by political problems.

> Thus ending up being way more expensive than countries where they still have slums to ruthlessly tear down or land to seize from small-time farmers to make room for new infrastructure (not to imply that the way it works in the US is much better).

India razed slums and farms for trains, the US razed forests and farms for interstates. It's the same thing. Slums in India have a land value to them. The government doesn't get that land for free. Just pay out property owners market value+20% for infrastructure and build the thing that is so direly needed.
Because you add the same amount of moisture (showers, cooking, breathing), and it needs to get out before it's was evenly over all 4 walls, now only one. Your total indoor humidity is going to go up because there is less taking care of it.

That said, insulation is still the right answer, but it ain't cheap. OP should probably tear down that beautiful old house for something more modern.
> We subsidize roads and everyone is OK with that.

Maybe making people walk more would cut the medical expenditure.
This is nonsense. Fungus and mold takes a while to develop, and most probably that timeframe is not over night in ground coffee (or tea). It is still better to do it in the fridge, because if you put it straight in it's less work and tastes good if you leave it overnight.
Nah. Rona was like 99.8% non death rate.

I've read two twitter threads of people who have gotten MP and both were dancing around how they got it.
No, because there are two distinct lineages, and the lineage that's is spreading right now is the less deadly lineage.

That said, there have been additional mutations, that may be responsible for it spreading so much, or not, or may have other effects.

Monkeypox mutates much more slowly than, say, flu or SARS-CoV-2, so it seems unlikely to have a quick change in its effects, but (nearly) everything is possible in biology.
It only allows trading what is listed only on Binance for crypto. Quite limited.

As for some of the ecosystem parts, it is just typical scrapping which can be easily broken by either Cloudflare or a simple Captcha.

That doesn't seem to be very reliable, in the long term.
The issue is high-performing teams can never last more than 18 months at Amazon because someone is getting sacrificed on the altar of URA, which then demoralizes the other employees. Amazon has a bad reputation as a place to work because it is highly political since everyone is always trying to avoid getting axed. You end up with the people with the fewest options left behind after any project ships.
Numerical names are like names for musical notes: they make no sense anymore but it's not worth the effort to change them.

It shouldn't. This is at most a concern for inheritable modifications.
"That this subject [imaginary numbers] has hitherto been surrounded by mysterious obscurity, is to be attributed largely to an ill adapted notation. If, for example, +1, -1, and the square root of -1 had been called direct, inverse and lateral units, instead of positive, negative and imaginary (or even impossible), such an obscurity would have been out of the question." — Gauss
I left my Aeropress unused in my drawers for years for that reason, until some smart people worked out a technique that turns it into a highly effective immersion brewer. Check this technique out https://coffeeadastra.com/2021/09/07/reaching-fuller-flavor-...

The gist of it is:
1. Grind finer (like, nearly espresso fine)
2. Steep for much much longer (like 10 minutes)
3. Don’t press too hard

(3) is generally applicable advice and may already improve your current results. Pressing too hard results in channeling and uneven extraction.

Of course, goes without saying, use good coffee and an appropriate grinder.

I doubt current architectures will allow for a snowballing of sentience due to the power inefficiencies of silicon compared to biology. We are more than three orders of magnitude more efficient than current computers…
I want to ask about - sometimes people presume a statement on a forum like this is an authoritative statement, when it's just an opinion.

Why don't we always just consider posts on forums to be just some opinion, from the poster's point of view, isn't that how a conversation works? Though I know expectations differ, I'm not sure why.
Some lies are so obvious that if you believe them you are at fault. Nigerian prince wants to send you 10 million dollars, but doesn't have the funds to cover wire transfer fee? Someone promises you to double your within a month with crypto? If you believe in any of those then you're clearly incapable of making your own life decisions, and your money will be put to much better use by the scammer who tricked you than by yourself.
