I also think the police just don't take it very seriously. Certainly that's the case here in SF. I've reported a number of stolen bikes over the years and my impression was of massive indifference. After bike number 7 was stolen, I just gave up. A few years later I'm thinking about buying a bike again, and risk of theft is my number one concern.
The friction in buying games these days is so low, I don't understand how this would result in more units shipped for any publisher that chooses to use this.

If you're "pirating" a game, I imagine (because this is why I pirated games in the pre-Steam days) it's because you can't afford to buy it or you refuse to give the publisher/developer your money on principle. Either way, you're not a potential customer. So sure, this may result in less emulation but not necessarily higher sales.
> In principle, inflationary currencies have a force pushing away from wealth centralization

That depends entirely where the new money gets injected. If it gets injected at the top, like with our current fiat currencies, then there's nothing wealth-decentralizing about it, all the contrary. [1]

Mineable cryptocurrencies inject the new money to whoever mines them, which could be anyone (less true with the current state of Proof of Work, but still true in the case of Proof of Space), thus the wealth-centralizing mechanism of fiat inflation is removed or at least mitigated.

> It's a Net Neutrality issue, because it allows operators to charge for bytes of RCS messages differently than bytes of Signal messages or Matrix messages or any other packet.

That's a disingenuous argument as voice and data (sms, video calls, mms etc.) on any telecom network has never been considered a part of the internet. Even though RCS uses parts of internet technologies (only because 4g / 5g are IP based and have replaced switch based technology), it's still a stretch to call it part of the "internet" as it is part of the telecom infrastructure and can connect to other telecom networks without necessarily needing the "internet" to do so.

And this legally mandated "inter-connectivity" remains the key point and advantage of telecom networks. The internet is also supposed to be like that, and many early internet technology were built with this feature of distributed inter-connectivity too. But WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal, Skype etc. are all disconnected islands that are actually an aberration of this core value of the internet, and devalues the internet as a whole.

In 2015 I wrote the Ethereum Foundation blog post detailing the phases of the release. In those days the Proof of State transition was known as Serenity.

ResusciAnnie has been the gold standard CPR mannequin since at least the early 90s when I first learned CPR at my local fire station. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a CPR mannequin that wasn't based on Annie.
As stated by another user it's not true open source, the source is solely available for personal use and for the submission of patches back to the author.

Such a model can backfire though as it would appear to be legal for a third-party contributor to create a set of scripts that would compile and prepare the application (load all the dependencies in a container and so forth) and release those scripts. Those scripts could even become accepted by a Linux distro's package manager, similar to how package managers package freeware prop software by using a script to legally grab the binary from the developer's site and installing it.
I would endorse that.

TypeScripts's type-system soundness holes kill the fun with that language very quickly, imho. That was a really big disappointment for me.

A "static" language that compiles fine and than crashes at runtime with complete WTF-bugs is not much better than a dynamic language. You just can't trust the compiler and need to double check every line of code anyway. So there is not much additional value in this kind of "type safety".

I would prefer Rescript of Scala.js anytime to TypeScript. Got really disillusioned by TS.
True Scientific inquiry is unpredictably random, and while someone will often eagerly publish a paper on a subject to boost perceived relevance... many rarely credit upstream sources outside academic contexts. Patents are also nice, as you often get to sue people who forgot to cite your work properly.

It is astonishingly impressive anything relevant, generalizable, and repeatable actually makes it back into the public domain. Like watching your dog eat 1kg of cheese... impressive for all the wrong reasons... lol =)

Yes. The current drought in China is a "1-in-150 years" event that will reoccur at least once in the next decade, and I am ready to take bets on that.

This was predicted 20 years ago in the IPCC reports from back then, demonstrated in the more recent reports, and people are still freaking out and acting surprised.
Systemd is great... for one machine. Systemd has no concept of multi-machine orchestration. It has no distributed state or consensus which is the foundation of multiple machines orchestrating work. I suspect systemd by design will _never_ try to do multi-machine orchestration and prefer people use an existing solution... like kubernetes.

I love systemd but it's not designed for managing a cluster of machines.
I never understood this question. Who would raise the topic of free will and then try to convince you it doesn't exist?

Somebody who wants you to do what they say, because they said it. There's an obvious answer to that.
The previsible absence of alternatives it's the main blackmail issue. The second is the fact that you can sell something packed with services and full of proprietary crap.

That last is not blackmail but a crime against humanity committed by politicians and citizens who allow that.
Correct and hard on your back! I do get a kick out of it though. Makes me feel like a real man in a way my sedentary day job does not.
This is less to do with blackmail than to do with optimising manufacturing. It is cheaper for manufacurers to produce all the cars with the same heated seats, but not allow you to use them if you don't pay the recurring charge (as long as enough % of customers opt-in), than to manufacture two versions of the car, one with the seats and one without, just so that you can feel like you aren't being blackmailed.

You should forget about what the car "has" and consider if the price makes sense for the features you get access to. This is for example how CPUs and GPUs are sold, and many other products. Consumers usually find it odd that they have the exact same specs (and smart consumers can enable those features for free), but it does provide for lower costs for manufacturing, which dictate how everything else works.
Please use neutral terminology such as “community supported performance patch.”
Or you could be a government with billions staked in your jurisdiction, and bureaucratic indifference to the outcome of your regulatory actions.
> To me it seems this would greatly damage the value of the assets but it can be recovered from.

Why? I see this as an event that would skyrocket the price. It at the same time affirms commitment of the community to its stated values and decreases the supply greatly.

Yeah, heated seats are just wire filaments connected to the car’s power supply.

That has to be trivial to bypass. Maybe as an added bonus you can turn it on with a button.
That's the law here in the UK, too, as long as the centre line isn't solid (which is what mrob was citing).

Most roads don't have solid centre lines.
The funny thing about subtitles is that there are many, many cases where you can find bootlegged subtitles for content that don’t even exist on the paid streaming service that provides that content. The streaming services seem to be getting better about this, especially for new content, but there is still a vast library of content on e.g. HBO in the U.S. that doesn’t even have Spanish subtitles.
That would require them to give refunds at all, the eShop currently does not do that and no one fought them on it yet.

Realistically Nintendo can do whatever they want, they could take a dump in times square and people would flock to it. They've been selling broken controllers for 6 years.
Thanks for stating the obvious, but there's nothing here to indicate veganism has anything to do with poor bike placement.
I think this comes with the caveat that there are a lot more mature libraries for Go just as a function of the age of the language.

Free Will: It doesn't matter.

Either it exists or it doesn't.

If it exists, we can make our own decisions and change them however.

If it doesn't, we wouldn't know anyway. Because if free will does not exist, then even your choice of whether or not to believe in it is predetermined. I would have no choice on whether or not to post this, you would have no choice on whether or not to read it, no choice on whether or not to respond, etc. Turtles all the way down. Even if I were to type all of this up and then not post it, that's what I would do. I didn't have the choice to do that. It's just the sum of the stimuli working on me. All of which also does not have free will.

But there is absolutely no way to test it either. No matter what test you can conceive, the test would be different by the very nature of being held at a different time. Let's say we put you in a room. And in this room, is a table, chair, and a marshmallow on a plate. You have to stay in the room for 30 minutes. You may eat the marshmallow or not. No reward or punishment is given depending on your actions. Then the next day, we do it again, to see if you make a different choice. If you make a different choice, does that prove you have free will?

No. Because it is a different day and today the circumstances are different because yesterday you participated in the test, whereas yesterday when you participated in the test, it was the first time you had. That very experience informs your future decisions.

The only way to truly test free will would be to rewind existence itself and see if you could make a different decision on that first test.

So we can't know if it exists and the difference between it existing and it not existing is imperceptible. So it truly does not matter.

And if that information makes turns you into a callous asshole who thinks the lack of free will absolves them of any blame, that's what was going to happen. Because there are those who will not think that and hold you accountable still because they believe in free will or believe that even still, we shouldn't be dicks to others.
why does this trash still exist? Haven't we learned anything from starforce, securom and all the other DRMs? Also don't companies understand that most people who pirate these days either do it or rather not play the game at all? Personally, I blacklisted all denuvo games long time ago and don't own any.
Well we could start with the fact that it crashes process IDs more often than Justin Bieber crashes Maseratis: https://github.com/rust-lang/vscode-rust/issues/890 (it’s always LLVM’s fault, I know). Or move right along to the insane configuration hacks that are mandatory if you want anything upmarket of VSCode (who doesn’t need a little practice with their Emacs Lisp), or the N^2 whatever that happens when you point it at bindgen output.

I run a lot of self-hosted software services, many of which have their own internal account system and auth. None of the features you mentioned require 3rd party cloud based auth.

I did pay for Plex prior to the cloud auth change, so for me it's a bait and switch, but my concerns are much more about privacy.

One day Plex will be bought by a large media company, and my (and my kids') viewing data and library catalogue data will be owned by MGM, Disney, Fox, etc...
Missing from the article is any explanation for why the statues were above water 600 years ago, then below water most of the time, and are now above water again (at least briefly).

Has there been some change in the course of the river? Was it generally drier 600 years ago? Is post-glacial rebound occurring (ie, if ice sheets existed a bit further north, pushing down land under them, and up south of them, with things now settling back down since the ice is gone)?

Most places I've worked, <50% of devs could do ops. They dont know systems.

We give them some exposure & some pick it up slowly over time. Unlike learning, say, React, most systems are pretty different. Everywhere I've gone has had very different CI/CD & different platforms for running our workload. There's a ton of fundamentals about computing & containers & building (compiling, bundling, packaging) software underneath, but usually the tools are working at higher level & those fundamentals are sparsely seen/encountered, so while a dev might start to skill up in the local ci/cd/platform, the experience only crudely translates l, they have to start way way back, if they go work somewhere else.

And then there's the question of architecting. Knowing all the varuous bits & pieces. Our apps use sql, redis, elasticsearch, an object store, an esb... good luck being able to effectively understand & operate all these machines, newly minted senior sev.

Coding is way more insular.
It's already happening with AR; there was a demo on Twitter showing how using Apple's new AR SDK you can just plaster over things you don't want to see. This for me puts AR right up there with AI as a huge risk to society, for precisely the reasons you point out. "Pay $9.99 a month not to see homeless people" "Pay $2.99 a month to see enhanced street signs so only you can find your way quickly" etc
I really wonder if you have studied basic analytic number theory, because that bound is actually well-known and is equivalent to the PNT. Anyway, Montgomery-Vaughan explicitly and clearly states in equation 6.12 that there exists some constant c>0 such that

psi(x) = x + O(x exp(-c√log x))

uniformly for x \geq 2. Since psi(x)=0 for x in [1, 2), this uniformity trivially extends to x \geq 1.

Also, arXiv moderators don't review papers, they are too busy for that. Submissions claiming to solve famous open problems are classified basing more on author reputation/submission history. I personally know a few moderators in math and physics.

So what happens if I instead submit a billion slasher reports that claim the eth foundation nodes have all lied, none of which contain valid evidence, and continue to do so every second. If there's no gatekeeper for these reports, then they're all valid. And they still need to be voted on, right?

Totally wrong. Anybody has the ability to declare "the people with stakes did not validate correctly"

In this context, what it means is that a person posted conflicting validation messages on different parts of the network, and anybody who can show the existence of two such conflicting messages can post it to the blockchain, receive a reward, and the offending validator gets slashed.

(There are also other ways you can get slashed, read the POS documentation if you want to learn the details) All methods of slashing are fully decentralized.
I don't know why my memory jogged to the old ruby on rails screencasts but I suppose there's nothing stopping IDEs from jumping to the FROM section of a query and then returning you back to the SELECT in some sort of "macro"/snippet. It's a hack, I guess.
Everyone else is mentioning it from an IDE perspective, but let's also think about logically from a language perspective. When you start a FROM clause and add some JOINs, a few WHERE conditions and maybe GROUP BY, you are building a virtual view of a series of tables, columns, and aggregations. You could even define this data set as an ephemeral table. What you do with that data set afterwards might vary depending on the need, but the data set might not change. Depending on the application, you might select different columns from the data set. We do this naturally using a WITH clause at the beginning of a query.

WITH (combine a whole bunch of stuff) as dataset SELECT a, b, c FROM dataset

This approach just says:

FROM tables... WHERE ... SELECT a, b, c

To me, it does make a lot of sense. This is also the paradigm that some of the graph databases use.

> The conscious mind is along for the ride, not in charge.

If you look at extremely simple choices, you may be able to say this. But these generally aren't the sorts of decisions we walk about when we talk about free will. Perhaps an analogy to business can help make the distinction. A CEO is only going to be informed after the fact, if at all, of the minor details of how a business operates. But the CEO is setting much broader directions and is indirectly regulating those who make the minor decisions.

Or more logically pedantically, you could simply say that the existence of some choices that happen before conscious awareness of them doesn't mean all choices happen that way.
> I am talking about the class of people with the ability to declare that the people with stakes did not validate correctly and therefore lose their stakes. My understanding is that this is a very small number of people and is mostly just the ethereum foundation.

There is no such thing as "separate slashers", and there is no such thing as distinct classes of validators. Whoever told you that is spreading baseless FUD.
The port actually does support USB 3. If you look in an iPhones Lightning port you'll see that only one side of the port actually has contacts and that's why it's USB 2 only. Some Lightning iPads support USB 3 and they have contacts on both sides of the port.
My point is that before the refined physics theories we have today people had to poke around in the dark, so to speak.

qSQL based on the concepts of ordered lists is more appropriate for many queries, examples available here: https://www.timestored.com/b/kdb-qsql-query-vs-sql/

Kdb the system that qSQL is ran within, allows full use of variables and all builtin functions with tables/functions/variable/columns. It really is a case of less is more. What this allows is functional form queries. Imagine being able to query: ?[tableName;lessThan(age;10)] and have perfect functional form representation for all queries. No ORM, no string concatenation. It seems some other database creators are at least becoming area of these things and integrating parts.
Cable would be awesome if it let you purchase channels individually.

I let cable TV go after my bill (including Internet) crawled up to $250 a month and then I realized the only thing I was watching was occasionally Food Network and most of the time everything else had either reality TV garbage I had no interest in, re-runs of shows I've seen a zillion times, or infomercials.

I like streaming. For example, I got bored with Starz so I dropped it, but wasn't anywhere near as bad as the over $100 for cable TV part of my cable bill, nor as painful to cancel.

If I could simply pick and pay for the couple channels I wanted and switch without hassle, yes, it would be awesome. Until then I'm fine dealing with separate providers. I'm sure it will be ruined soon though.

Here's the thing though - we have almost two generations who did not grow up watching broadcast TV and aren't in that habit. Cable TV was able to jack up its price and keep people paying in my opinion because older people grew up with TV being a default background activity and kind of just wanted it there.

That's not true anymore. Your default background activity is your phone. Make these streaming services too complex and too ad-ridden and I think people simply will give them up. They're already really easy to give up. Especially with the current trend of inflation and rising housing costs people aren't going to let subscriptions stick around they aren't really using.
With Subaru, you can also buy additional years for cheaper when purchasing the vehicle. I think I could do 10 years (7 additional) for 375. Personal preference now/later but that 375 goes on the loan anyways.

You can disable Focused Inbox and Outlook doesn't support it for most accounts anyway.

From my usage Focused Inbox doesn't seem like that much of an algorithm, it for the most part just seems follow similar rules that Gmail has used for things like the > and >> marks from very early in Gmail history: addressed to you and only you, no Listserv headers of any sort, is a known contact in your address bar.

I check both tabs of course, but the primary usefulness of Focused Inbox I've found is in notification management. Lock screen notifications are limited to Focused Inbox, so I often read that "tab" at a glance on my lock screen (during Scheduled Summaries, these days) and reading the "Other Inbox" is closer to "regular email time".

Also it's called "Focused Inbox" in part because it only affects the Inbox. Create your own folders and rules and they bypass the Inbox including Focused Inbox.
The key point in that rule is that it only applies to solid centre lines. Motorists are free to cross broken lines to overtake.
Oh and what if that parent node dies, now all the children are orphaned and without a leader to tell them what to do? Kind of breaks down.

The problem is a distributed state and consensus. It's not as simple as "just have a leader send nodes commands". There are well known algorithms and systems for dealing with distributed consensus. It might annoy you to find out kubernetes uses one of them (etcd)! Use kubernetes!
