The main difference here is the sophistication of the investor, and the people this article is about clearly did not fully understand the risk they were exposed to. Molly White posted a whole bunch of letters to the Court on Twitter related to the Celsius bankruptcy, and the excerpt read pretty much exactly like when people get outright scammed.

Of course nobody should invest a large portion of money they need into something as speculative as cryptocurrencies. But that doesn't mean that people that are not critical enough of outlandish claims and invested in stuff like Celsius deserved to lose it all. There are certainly people that understand the risk and participate anyway, and greed got the better of some of them. But there are also people that were essentially just scammed.
This is frustrating to read. The parent is telling the truth, I can’t give you my internal audits because they’re extremely confidential and sometimes a little bit shameful.

It also would affect business relationships which is something every employment contract I’ve ever signed has stated is something which is a violation of my employment terms.

So, to pile on a little: yes, the parent is right in a lot of cases, there are exceptions, but of 12 audits maybe 10 were essentially Nessus version checks. This was needed mostly for rubber stamping.
Congress changed the law
Could explain a little more what you mean. I have come to understand that covid belongs to the family of corona viruses that are responsible for about 15% of all colds. This monkeypox virus also belongs to a family of viruses that most of us got infected with as a child and that also has some long term effects as it can cause shingles. This monkeypox virus could also have unexpected long term effects with, for example, very severe forms of shingles.
I agree. The lack of adults that know gay and lesbian history is the reason for a lot of internal strife in the LGB community.
For road, government is providing the road and public pays for bus ticket, personal car, delivery services etc.

For rail, usually railway building is already covered by government. People only pay for the train. Upkeep is usually covered by all sorts of subsidies.

In Argentina the situation is exactly the same.
> There were probably multiple common logic bugs. However one that sticks out in my memory was when the submission system would first check if the team already submitted that flag (fast check in session) and if not, it would check the flag in the database (slow), award points (slow), and finally add the flag to the session (fast). Yup, that's a race condition.

How is "insert into found_flag (team_id, flag_id, found_at) values ($1, $2, now()) on conflict do nothing" slower than this 4 step race-condition-prone operation? (To get the score, "select count(1) from found_flag where team_id=$1".) You don't even need transactions for this, as long as you can't transition from found to not found somehow ("delete from found_flag where team_id=$1 and flag_id=$2").

The only problem I see with this is where validating the correct answer is expensive; without another piece of data to show that validation has started, you can overload the checker by submitting your answer before the first validation routine succeeds. But that is also easy to track, with a timeout even, and you still don't need transactions.
Yes but they know that many people (virtually everybody in my experience) immediately cover and bulk up that beautiful form. It's not really like them to say "well that's their choice to ruin our beautiful work" - it's clearly a very important function. I would think they would take the challenge to make a version that can withstand some abuse and still adhere to their aesthetic standards.
People aren't really qualified to do due diligence on crypto and what exactly does due diligence even mean when companies are lying about what they're doing?
> Second, no farmer has ever been sued for accidental contamination with patented GMOs. There have been cases where farmers deliberately tried to concentrate trace contamination, but the courts properly recognized the deliberate nature of that.

Yes, deliberate use of the patented gene/interaction. That's still suing small farmers, doing farmer stuff, for IP infringement.

So it's not bullshit.
"Investment" by definition is a way of storing more money than you can afford to lose. Anything else isn't an investment.

There are plenty of words for transactions that should be limited to money you can afford to lose: Las Vegas, lottery tickets, options, crap, toxic waste, street drugs.
> By adding genes? Definitely!

It might be weird, but it works and it cures people of cancer. You quite simply cannot convince me that's not a positive result for everyone.
Yeah I agree. I know growing and learning is the job. But how much am I going to use X in the future? I did one project in PHP. Just enough to learn I don't really like working in PHP. Is a few months of PHP experience useful in later job searches?
I couldn't see that having any demand from game companies. They generally want you to share gameplay footage so other people will see it and want to play too, even preventing spoilers isn't worth burning your customers like that. But I could see it getting demand from people who want to use it as a weapon.
It's part of the email specification. Look at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322#section-2.1.1.
>And even if it were after scams happening, there have been so many [0] that surely people would understand that future scams are likely.

Pyramid schemes, ponzi schemes, and all sorts of other schemes would like a word with you. Scams can be around for a long, long time while still bilking plenty of people.

This is the best way to do a French press too. Pushing the plunger all the way down just disturbs the grounds that have already settled. Better to keep the screen at the top of the liquid level then pour out slowly.

And the cupping procedure doesn't even do that, but still produces reliable tasty cups.
“Have fun staying poor” has really come back to bite them eh?
Yes. Saying "don't invest more than you can afford to lose" while building an entire industry around convincing people to do exactly that is allowing these people to absolve themselves of responsibility by pointing out they offered a disclaimer at the start. It also fits in well with the generally libertarian nature of the crypto culture, allowing blame to lie with "personal responsibility" rather than grifting or scamming.

It's like when the tobacco industry sponsored ads to "prevent kids from smoking" while investing millions in targeting them anyway.
I wanted a quicker summary of what the score actually was, which Lifehacker did nicely (line breaks mine):

> Office bullshit has been found to be composed of three separate factors: “regard for truth,” “the boss,” and “meaningless language.”

> The first factor, “regard for truth,” is about the willingness of management to tolerate communication that shows a disregard for facts.

> The second factor, “the boss,” is about the willingness of higher-ups to tolerate this bullshit

> …The third factor, “meaningless language,” is about the prevalence of corporate jargon.

evap cooling doesn't work (well) in humid climates
Come to Argentina and talk to people. It's very cheap right now for foreigners. There are situations that people who was raised in an educated home in the first world find it hard to believe, but that happen anyways.

Edit: I'll elaborate the point. There are people here that for more than 3 or 4 generations lived without working, being totally maintained by the state. Also a lot of that people never finish elementary school. So what happens is that they never think about where what they get comes from. It's normal for them to live 'for free' without ever considering how that works.
Should be ok if they are not harassing other passengers.
What I said:

> the US was doing something it didn't need to do in order to defend itself

Note the negation.
nc generally provides more verbosity with -v and other options.

nc -v itself is pretty much telnet as far as TCP connections go (TELNET is itself another protocol on top of TCP).

In fact on macOS, I alias telnet=’nc -v’.

Anyway my intent wasn’t to directly challenge your method, this is just a more shell-independent and universal method of doing the same.
Huh, you know, you're right. I recently did that and it was fine.

I think a lot of others formed their opinion (myself muchly included) about this from sites where the search bar was a joke played on people.

Edit: let me upgrade that 'fine' to 'great', now that I think about it it was actually better than a google search which was not my previous experience.
No one seems to have mentioned this at the top level... TypeScript can make a large JavaScript codebase a lot more manageable and fun in my opinion.

I second Clojure if you're specifically looking for niche.

If you goal though is to be highly employable I'd suggest Python
Gnome has pissed a lot of people off, and this is the end result. I mean I think it's pretty reasonable for people to have ill will towards the project and I think that politely interjecting with the occasional "we don't like gnome" is reasonable. If only to encourage new projects to use a toolkit that isn't so closely tied to the gnome experience.

That being said I do have to give them some respect for XDG-desktop-portal, which has made my main complaint (gnome's filepicker being bad and non-optional for even basic software like firefox) no longer an issue.
Apes do not clone themselves, now or in the past. Unless you believe in fairy tales :)
Finally blogging! I'm looking forward to writing and sharing more; it's been fun to hear everyone's perspectives.
Your "meh" is similar to disregarding contemporary environmental PFAS contamination because of historic lead contamination from tetraethyllead. "There exist bad things already" does not automatically make the additional potentially bad thing harmless.

BT is sprayed on some food crops, but with GM food crops, it is contained within every cell of the plant, and cannot be washed off. You are consuming BT toxin, if you eat GM BT crops (the US EPA requires BT crops to be registered as pesticides). Putting poison in contact with mucus membranes seems, at the very least, 'possible' to have negative long-term health consequences.

Non GM conventional crops can use systemic pesticides (the irrigation water contains the poison and/or the seed is pre-treated. This also incorporates the pesticide within plant tissues so it cannot be washed off). These systemic pesticides are usually neonicotinoids. Presence of systemic neonicotinoid use in conventional agriculture does not negate concerns about GM BT crops.

My point was that GM, as it exists today, makes conventional agriculture's issues of pesticide exposure and low genetic diversity in our staple food crops worse, not that conventional agriculture doesn't already have issues.
Definitely did :)

I still have the weird stories to tell, but glad I'm out of there.

I hope you're also in a great place!
From what I can see this is a patent application for the dehumidification part only, which can be added to a pre-existing HVAC system.

The website claims the system can eliminate the compressor and refrigerant completely.

Not sure if they have a separate patent for that.

Let me give a simple example, where rhetoric is used only to excite a voting base but where the action never manifests: Trump and the Wall.

Now a whole new breed of populists have arisen but use the same tactic. They play to what people want, but then never deliver. This is the oldest trick in politics.

Not once does the author show a single result of Thiels work that manifests as greater nationalism. Please share what I missed.
Yeah. Great mind teaser. I can imagine an imaginary number (-/+) "inf" for divisions by number approaching zero from left/right, yet the algebra would not be possible to define properly because you can approach zero with a different rate.

The undefined cases, where the left/right limits are not equal coulf get imaginary number "shrug" because it would be even less useful.

Of is anyone able to define a useful algebra for these? I'm really curious.
One of the other commenters above made the claim that SO runs yahoo ads. If that's true then from a Google perspective, the click has either zero or negative money-making value.

Maybe that means we should be searching in yahoo rather than google.
Looking at the source takes me back to 1999.

Nothing wrong with it. Just a mix and serves a purpose.

Thanks
What if it could be covered by a zoom call and society wouldn’t have to foot the rail bill? Trains cost quite a fortune.
Alright, then it sounds closer to what I'm thinking, although extremely limited :) Either way, I'm glad it exists!

My point is only that MORE can be done, regardless of integration or not. What really matters is the data model and (as demonstrated by Unity) extensibility.
This assumes an organization can effectively identify who are the underperformers of a company. I've yet to see this proven out.
Strawberries don't need to exist in the first place. Nothing does. That doesn't mean we don't want to cultivate them in places that may have a cold climate.
There are several groups focused on coffee research. Lots to learn about taste perception, extraction dynamics, fluid flow, etc. And because the coffee market is so large, any discovery can have a big practical impact.
Not really, but several ports do have OpenBSD-specific documentation added by the port maintainer. I agree that it would be nice to put this information in the port.
Wow. That's competing with some C++ projects.
Would it really help in this case? I believe the HLK-signing is enforced by Windows, not UEFI. Uploading your own cert to UEFI won't change that.
This is the first time seeing this and I have to say I'm super interested.

Been researching some CMS' recently and was not really impressed, was thinking of a Frankenstein with Strapi but this looks like it could be absolutely perfect.

Great work, will check it out further and so far from what I see will be joining the community to help !
Making regional transport free will make it easier for people to choose to go by train rather than drive. This will help to improve air quality and congestion for goods transport and deliveries.
I didn't think the 8086 programming model was that bad. There were several different memory models for compiled languages and I think it was outright fun to work with the segment registers in assembly language.

It was tragic though that no "Multitasking DOS" emerged in the 1980s. My 1987 AT clone was more powerful than the largest PDP-11 but the big PDP-11 could support 32+ terminals. It was annoying as hell that I couldn't download files from a BBS while doing something else -- I tried to make a TSR that did that but couldn't make it work.
I suspect the voters of Nevada would say, "Nimby". Maybe the DoE should make a reactor like this and put it in DC, where the voters are not allowed to say "Nimby". Anti-democracry to save the day.
I mean we've minted plenty of millionaires by way of the stock market and startups and generally hail those people as geniuses when they're often just lucky. Uber is no less of a Ponzi than crypto.

Yes, maybe there is some willful self delusion. Then again, I don't think anyone really understands economics --- well enough to predict the future, anyway. There's no shortage of folks who understand it well enough to "explain" the past.
We have to acknowledge that banning is weaponized by platforms now too.

Sure there are assholes out there, but I think that banning people for a first offense is also an asshole move. People are banned more frequently by moderators and bots/scripts now, and even manually, by people who have their own in-grained bias.

The modern process of banning people is often arbitrary, and usually after years of work within an ecosystem or platform that is often also tied into many other things like authentication in other sites and apps. A ban can devastate a person's reputation or business, it should not just be considered as "It's their platform, they can do whatever they want" when the platform involves a very public social aspect of operations.

We should consider banning people differently than we used to. Proper provision of support for platform users also should regularly be mandatory in cases like this... It's not fair to just tell a banned user they can fill out forms and wait for a response when their reputation, time invested, and business goals suffers in silence.

Take for example that Wal Mart allows food trucks to set up in a massive (Wal Mart Owned) warehouse to sell their goods... A vendor parks inside and sets up their truck... The vendor can have one single argument with a warehouse manager, a customer, or even make a mistake in advertising, and if they are banned from the Wal Mart warehouse (by today's standards... figuratively of course) the vendor's truck, all of their possessions left within the warehouse get revoked by Wal Mart, and the vendor must go and rebuild their business somewhere else. This also allows competitors and nefarious managers to capitalize upon the vendor's reclaimed possessions within the Wal Mart warehouse from that point forward.

The only way to ensure that people's money and time investments within a workspace are stable is to have rule transparency, proper and easy user support, and maybe even a "3 strike" rule. None of those things are happening on platforms right now, and it's creating very disgruntled users.

That being said though, the "dense" comment is not the best way to go about getting a positive resolution to a technical support problem.
I personally was wrong in that I thought AVIF would be the last traditional codec, and future progress would come from ML based compression. But JPEGXL is very impressive. I do think we are close to the end of the road for this approach though, as neural net based compression appears to outperform by many multiplies. I expext everything (major) after JPEGXL to be ML based.
I’d love to see the contraption you wear to dull your sense of touch or smell. Must be impressive.
Try it. You’ll never go back.
Process?

Seriously, one of the great things about being a solo dev is not having a process.
It's because the International Health Regulations confer the power to declare a PHEIC on the WHO's Director General alone, rather than the WHO as a whole (or any Emergency Committee established under it).
Right, but now imagine you weren't one of the people who had someone knowledgeable and sceptical pointing out the flaws. Imagine all you ever came across was crypto bros and people who believed, repeated and amplified their bullshit. Imagine the received wisdom all around you, from your family, peers, role models, was: this is the thing to do.

Yeah, a bunch of people ignored you and ostracised you. But not everyone. Not most people. Most people never even got the chance to ignore you.
Software experts exist for pretty much every piece of complicated software. There is so much you can do in arcgis that only someone who spent a lot of time would know how to use the tool and when to use the tool, but most gis technologists don't need their help as they spend time in the software to learn it too.
The only big difference is that dinosaurs and (less so) mammoths would have a horrible time adapting to modern atmosphere and climate
I built kcal[0] after a similar search. The focus is primarily on macros and ultimately I kind of lost steam on developing further (though we still use it to great success). A part of why lost interest is that I didn’t like PHP + Laravel as much as Python + Django.

Anyway I see you have the Famnom code on GH but apparently not with an OSS license. Are you planning to seek contributions with a friendly license in the future? If so I’d be interested.

If I kept getting sent single frames of a bluray whether I want them or not, but I was forbidden from putting those frames together into the full movie, I'd be pretty annoyed about that use of copyright too.

I agree with the use of emergency when desired outcome is people seeing the situation as urgent, but all this does is kick the can.

At some (I feel like close) future point, people will see “emergency” and equate it to “someone’s being cautious. This is possibly not a problem at all and therefore can be ignored.”

What’s that old saying along the lines of “intentionally use more subtle language in your writing because it gives you room to be intense later.”?
? Sorry Molly, it's not even 'investing'. It's totally arbitrary ridiculous speculating'. Nobody should be putting anything into crypto unless they could afford to literally burn it and not care.

I mean, instead of responding to these people as 'giving poor investing advice' it should be more along the lines of 'they are all giant scammers, liars and hustlers, along with 99% of all crypto activity'.

It's kind of interesting how well she documents everything as if it needs to be documented.

Just assume crypto ads/services are a scam until there is evidence otherwise.

Edit: yes, yes, fine, there might be some value in crypto, there's some intellectual goodwill there, but it's full of giant hustles, frauds and scams, and the pragmatic reality is the rational, default purview should be 'it's a scam'.

The industry has completely burned any goodwill, it will take something else to recover it.
all of the above is correct, and you also trade performance for not being excessively hot and roasting the battery.

there's a reason apple did not thermally bridge the cpu to the chassis as in the not-recommended mod mentioned in the article, because it would make the battery less safe and greatly decrease its lifespan.
Taxes and other employment “fees” and rules present a problem to companies without apathetic appropriate tax nexus. They’ll make foreign hires of any nationality into contractors to offload the problems wherever possible. Not everybody wants to get to know an accountant that well.

I found it curious that many of the cities were high cost, and it seemed less interesting vs going to where space and population density was more favourable.
It’s not just bitcoin.

People are told to “invest for retirement” and to do their financial planning based on 4-8% per year growth after inflation, when the risk free rate has been 2% or less for 20 years.

If the US stock market stagnates for the next 20 years like it has in other countries, people will be blamed for buying ETF’s too. “Don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose”, say the people who profited from 20% annual growth on houses while mortgaged to the hilt. But also, “why can’t millennials afford houses?”
Methanol can also explode (and set things on fire). In terms of a fire hazard they're both very bad.
