I’d read that Kassar actually compared the programmers with towel designers, having come from Burlington Industries (a textile company) himself.
Applying the Lessons Taught from Machine Learning to the Human Brain
Yes, and that's exactly what years of using MSDN and other similar documentation sites have taught me to be blind too.
> You can store cash

In Vietnam, the largest bill is about $20, which increases the space storage requirements. Let's also remember that people need a safe place to store that cash.

> Way way way easier than Crypto.

Not true at all. Stablecoins, like USDT, are trivial to get and store in quantity.

> Can average citizen safely and reliably store crypto on their own anywhere nearly as easily and safely as cash?

App on a cell phone? Yes. I've travelled all over Vietnam and even in the most remote of remote places, people living in shacks by the side of the road, with no running water or bathrooms, they have 'smart' phones and inexpensive good coverage 4G.
If it could be proven that:

1. You intended to inspire that person to kill.

2. You could reasonably know that someone who would read your post would actually murder someone.

Then yes, this is clearly murder by proxy. Tornado has never been shy about mentioning how it could be used for illegal purposes, nor was it unknown that NK was using it to launder their ill-gotten gains. Being sanctioned was only a question of time IMO.
The Air Force considered replacing the 8 engines with 4 more powerful ones. However, they determined that the loss of one of those engines on take-off would cause a dangerous thrust asymmetry. Dealing with that would have required more extensive changes like moving the engine mounts, so they dropped the idea. But they are going to replace the engines with newer models.

“It still kind of works without power” was an idea that kept hydraulic actuators in planes for a long time. But now most new planes are fly-by-wire (fully electric). Reliably stopping an electric car in an emergency should be a solvable problem.
Nah she was busy as anything so didn't really have time to look. She might have caught on eventually but my parents did first, they saw me with a few of them and figured out we'd been pocketing our lunch money while scamming free lunches. Made us pay back all the money plus extra then work off anything we couldn't pay which is pretty fair tbh.
It is essentially impossible to manage something if the person doesn’t understand the thing being managed - and by understand, I mean ‘knows how it works to to the point they can know when it’s bullshit, and when it’s real’.

It doesn’t require being GOOD at the thing they are managing (anymore than it requires being a fast linebacker to be able to make someone fast and teach them how to be a good linebacker), but being decent sure helps.

Sometimes being really good at the thing can make it nearly impossible to be a manager of others doing it, because while they’re good at the skill they don’t actually understand it. It comes naturally to them, so they never had to figure it out.

Just like someone who is a fast linebacker may just be and is unable to explain to anyone how they do it.

A VP/Executive is a level above managing it, as they need to be managing managers, ensuring decision making and prioritization is occurring in a way that produces the desired results, and setting the overall culture within an organization.

Many times where problems occur is when someone gets promoted to a level where they are now over people who are doing things they don’t understand, or when skill sets and day to day work shifts out from under them and they lose that competency.

‘Managing up’ can be a cynical ploy for a middle manager to get what they want while not actually doing what the execs want.

It can also be the process of ensuring the important details the executive needs are there, and they aren’t having their time wasted if a bunch of fluff that doesn’t matter to them.

Which one it is depends a lot on the culture and how good the executive/VP and middle manager are.
I see. Checking the formulation of the incompleteness theorem again, I noticed that I probably misunderstood something here: it indeed essentially requires proofs to be verifyable, which second order theories do not provide. So second order PA can (and in fact does) have a proof of every statement or its negation, without contradicting incompleteness, but provability is somewhat useless in this case. For theories that fit the conditions you listed, unprovability is indeed due to multiple models. Does that make sense?

Edit: however, consistent second order theories don't always have a model. In first order, if S is an undecideable statement in theory T, then both T+S and T+!S have models, both of which are models for T, so undecideable statements always come from multiple models. But that does not need to be the case in second order, so your claim "it is independent from the axioms, i.e. there exist multiple models" is not neccessarily true, i.e. there may be cases when decideability of some statement fails in a theory with a unique model. Or is there another argument for your claim?

Forgive me for spamming questions, I just try to understand how these things fit together. But maybe we should just stick to first order, since everything else is too weird anyway.
Thanks!

Yes that is true and I think this is also the beauty of it. You can do anything with the code.

I know that one bad example often also is that you can change your CFN Template based on some external state (like an API) which can lead to some bad outcomes.
But using a proper programming language can really speed things up a lot IMO
"As you all know, we are committed to becoming an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression company. Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on
marginalized communities, so we were particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an

Any one who isn't asleep at the wheel is well aware that corporate/institutional newspeak terms like "Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens" means anti white and asian.
No, this is the budget for the European Union's funds and institutions only. It's separate from the national budgets of its member states although it's funded out of them with each country contributing proportionately.

Military spending and the maintenance of armed is still an exclusive competence of member states and will likely remain so even as there's more integration of rapid intervention and peacekeeping HQs within the EU.

Total defence spending across the entire EU is around €200 billion.

The €148 billion does include a security and defence budget of around €44 billion a year, most of which goes to a joint R&D fund (European Defence Fund), the European Peace Facility, and agencies like Europol and Frontex.
Making comparisons with guns in the US isn't a great comparison, because the US has a lot of explicit protection for guns, gun owners, and gun manufacturers. These same protections do not exist for other industries, including banking.
Sad, all I see on that page is:

Seems pretty misguided.
IANAL, but, it'd be tough for sure. You'd need to compare who was fired to who wasn't and contextualize with metrics that made it clear it wasn't coincidence.
Sounds great! I love the heroin budget production sound. But that screaming - I just cannot understand bands that do that. I know, lots of bands do either that high-pitched screaming or growling, I can't stand either. That's why I love Pantera. Phil feels so honest in his singing.

Thanks anyway. Perhaps I just to picky. Or I'm an old man stuck in his ways.
I thought the big promise of crypto is that it is censorship resistant. I think people who are in the crowd of "not your keys, not your crypto" forget that "not your infrastructure (including on/off ramps), not your global decentralized network"

If you had the private info to apply for a loan in someone’s name, you also have the information to create a bank account in someone name.

You don’t need to prove that you didn’t create the loan. It’s up to the company to prove that it was you. Having private information isn’t enough. At most you need to file a police report to expunge it off your credit report.

$250k is also the amount that involves the Feds. Most scammers won’t hit that amount since they know the state/loc police don’t have the capability/resources to investigate electronic funds transfer type scams.
Interesting. I couldnt get anyone to talk with me at the IRS. I eventually resolved my issues through my senator (his office contacted the IRS and worked out all the details for me).
> Utterly counter intuitive that to retain control over rough ground you want to almost let go of the handlebars.

I've hiked through a lot of forests ever since I was a kid and have a method, often criticized, but that has never injured me, of going down difficult terrain. I more or less glide down at a constant speed, putting my feet in places to apply upwards force. It helps a great deal that I have very flexible angles and can bend at near 90 degree angles. I usually get down very quickly and without fuss, whereas the slower more deliberate method tends to produce bigger falls. You tense up more when you're going down like that, and are more likely to produce uncontrolled fall, which is what kills you. If you can control your fall (throw yourself lightly at a patch that will stop you quickly and not injure you) and go a bit limp to disperse energy quickly, you can fall a lot more than most people but get injured less. I learned this technique from skateboarding. The idea is to learn to do a controlled fall whenever you're in danger into a safe area, rather than possibly risk an uncontrolled fall.

I've been called an idiot for doing this but I have never broken a bone nor had significant injury while hiking.

Anyway, my point is, sometimes just letting the movement flow naturally is the correct thing to do, even if it means the speed involved/perceived danger is higher.
Figure 53 releases QLab 5 (macOS show control)
Couple of thoughts.
Firstly, you need good product people to be working on these things.
You also need people at the company actually using the product. I wonder how many senior Disney execs actually watch on Disney+.

Counter argument: you need time to develop a product and not all features will get the same priority, but things might get there over time. The alternative would be to delay releasing it until it is "perfect".

Do you watch only on Web? Or have you also tried their TV app?
At least it may have peaked before we got to the point where we had 15 "Flip this Token" shows airing on the Bitcoin & Garden network.
It means race was a factor in who was laid off versus who wasn't.

Anti-racist terms are inherently racist, given these outcomes are decided based upon a persons race.
Civilian airliners are closer to shuttle buses than weapons platforms. With all of the design work that would be required to gracefully transform the luggage compartment into a bomb bay (not to mention the armor, extra tech), it may just be easier to have a purpose-built plane.

But, I'd totally love to see a civilian aircraft retrofitted in some kind of post-apocalyptic movie.
> Because sometimes that does happen -- where a downsize disproportionately targets a minority group.

Why would a downsize disproportionately target a minority group unless you directly admit that part of your management is racist?
Yes they're tools. they have tried suing gun manufacturers (even though they have protection for defense industry reasons). Automobiles are used in DUI fatal crashes every day. Do we condem alcohol or car manufacturers for their use in crashes? Furthermore do we condem auto manufacturers for vehicular homicide? Usage isn't bound to malicious intent.
bro but rotary engines, you need an RX7 or I hear GT3000s are fast and shit but your bank probably won't give you a loan for a used Mitsubishi. maybe your mom will let you hold on rent for a bit??
It seems a lot of people went from "cryptocurrency is not money and never will be" to "Tornado Cash helps facilitate money laundering" without realizing that using that argument, you're effectively acknowledging that cryptocurrency is money.

Tornado Cash was always about Ethereum, not USD. You can't even use Tornado Cash to get in/out USD from the contract.

Why not go after the actual entities that are doing the washing/laundering instead of one of the utilities they (and other lawful users) are using as a step in the process?
Google probably knows exactly which public servant is responsible for keeping track of the money ...
The biggest surprise was how hard it was to find anyone who actually understood how the system works. I think it is safe to say that the vast majority of people have never met an actual banker. All of the people you interact with at your local bank branch are either sales people or technicians. They know about as much about banking as the guy working the Jiffy Lube knows about cars.

Not only that, but getting a meeting with someone who understands how banking actually works under the hood is nearly impossible. In fact, even finding such a person is nearly impossible. Not only do the front-line people in banks not understand how their industry works, they don't even know who does understand.

There is also a huge disconnect between banking and IT. I once had half a million dollars go missing for two weeks because of a wire transfer snafu. No one could figure out where the money was. The only reason it was recovered is that the person to whom the money had been wired incorrectly noticed and sent it back.

Absolutely a shocking thing to say. But the implementation details are sparse. Even if this is something like "ABC skin color gets a larger separation package", that's functionally equivalent to "XYZ people get a smaller one because they don't need it, due to the inherent benefits of their skin color."

At the end of the day, skin color should not factor into WHO gets laid off, or HOW they are laid off.
> The B-52 played a significant role in the Vietnam War, particularly during Operation Linebacker II which saw 729 B-52 sorties drop more than 15,000 tons of bombs on Hanoi and other targets.

Oof. Not a great call-out, as one of the stupidest operational plans and misuse of sophisticated platforms.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Linebacker_II#Init...

In the initial phase and by design, the B-52s were sent over the same area for a third night in a row, in a manner that negated their strengths and exposed their weaknesses.

As a consequence, 7 planes were shot down by SAMs in a single night.

Things like that, yes. It probably takes a certain amount of domain expertise to know exactly what, and how.

But it seems fairly reasonable to guess that certain settings that are normally generalized to work appropriately well across a wide range of crashes can also be optimized for certain cases if you know in advance which cases are being tested for. We see this sort of optimization-to-the-test being possible in most other domains so why not this one as well.
A good strategy for discovering new music with online radio stations that archive their sets is to search for a song/artist that feels very unique to you (not popular or universally acclaimed). Usually the rest of the set will have music you like, and because it’s made by a human it won’t sound same-y.

You are free to collect data and publish a revolutionary result in ICSE or whatever. Until then I'll go with the mountains of data showing the existence of these bugs in codebases despite adoption of smart pointers, etc. You can even see the pain in the adoption of string_view as a clear example of how you end up with non-owning references in real modern C++ code that fucks up lifetimes and ends up with UAFs. You don't need a "new" anywhere in your entire codebase to still end up with UAF.

I also spoke about way more than memory errors. C++ has a million other footguns that people regularly fire beyond accessing deallocated memory or accessing memory out of bounds of an allocation.
"Are we witnessing the slow death of (online) advertising?"

That is a great story, and should be an inspiration to aspiring gave devs. As you can clearly see in the thread, I did not bring up CoD. Two comments above me were discussing it. I was just pointing out that it’s now a huge franchise. All the franchises, large and small, have cycled through many, many programmers and artists and designers. It does not disrespect your friend to point out that there are multiple studios he didn’t start that are now developing CoD, or to point out that it has been ported to so many platforms that there has been a metric ton of unsexy porting work alongside the original content work. Having worked on both game and movie franchises, I can safely say that there’s less room for individual input. Not none, just less. I’ve witnessed whole studios (both in games and films) push and push to work on an original non-franchise production, because everyone knew it’d be more fun and felt less like being a cog. The fact that your friend made a wildly successful franchise is absolutely great for him, and for his business, but you can’t claim that it’s creatively great for everyone else involved, even if it does support them financially.
Excel macros were/are bad as a programming environment, for the reasons Joel says. The thing is, that's because it grew out of the deficiencies of formulae. If you can't do a thing with formulae, the next logical step was a macro. Since Excel was such widely distributed software back then, and it took actual effort to get decent tools for programming, macros were a lot of folks' first exposure to programming.

In turn, that means there are people who can perform what I'd consider pure wizardry with them. My hat is off to those people, though I still am happier that I got my hands on Turbo Pascal at the right age.
No need to, the data inside of the sandbox can still be corrupted (C compiled into WASM code), so even if it doesn't escape to the host, there are tons of possible ways to exploit the code and via data corruption force it to execute another code path thanks to incorrect state on the data structures.
Indeed, recording consent in healthcare has become a joke and the incentives for regulators to enforce it aren't there either. I worked on a platform for consent directives management, and the problem wasn't technical, it was "deprioritized" by the agency responsible for it because it put limits on their discretion.

I'd even say health information is worse than monetized now, it's actively politicized. I know that C19 vaccination records (names/addr/date/dosenumber) were shared with PR/oppo-research firms working for politicans involved in the rollout, and there was no consent for collection or use of that data either. We live in interesting times.:)
Worse than Android for privacy? A simple GDPR data request shows Android is FAR worse. If you disable tracking on Google, the user experience is severely limited, while it's not on iOS, as the services is build around less data collection.

Besides that, iOS E2E encrypt a lot more like health data, browsing history, maps data, HomeKit data etc.
My amateur analysis -

If OP really has no idea why the payment was sent and does not feel entitled to it, I'd judge it as not being income in the current year. While OP is in possession of it (per "cash basis"), it's only by clerical error. They're not free to do with the money as they'd like (eg spend it), and thus they're in the position of a trustee rather than someone who has received personal income. Remember, not every payment coming into your bank account is a taxable event.

If OP receives a 1099 for it, or they file their taxes and then receive a notice that the IRS has a 1099, then they declare it as income (since the 1099 indicates the payment had intent), distribute the money to themselves by moving it to a different account where it can't be ACH reversed, and consider the matter settled.

Failing that, if some time down the line Google confirms it as a legitimate payment or the clock runs out, then you distribute it to yourself and declare it as income at the time of distribution, regardless of the missing 1099.

Alternatively, if Google demands/pulls the payment back and you haven't paid taxes on it, case closed.

If Google does somehow issue a 1099 and then later ends up demanding the money back, then I'd say OP has a strong case that at the very least Google owes them for all the resulting damage of having to refile their taxes, etc. And given that OP is in possession of the money and outside the ACH reversal window, Google would have to mount a legal offense to get it back where OP could argue this point.

Boy do I not agree with the substance of this article.

I agree that yes, preregistration is not a panacea that will fix the reproducibility crisis or whatever.

But the problem that it is solving is not to improve the quality of studies that get published. It only does that implicitly. What it does is allows us to factor in the unpublished studies. It gives us access to previously unpublishable null results.

Would this have debunked the ESP research? No, that study would have gotten published because its results supported the expectations of the experimenters. BUT all the attempts to reproduce that would also have been pre-registered, and their lack of publishing (or the publishing of null results) would have effectively debunked the original.
Speaking as someone who built the IT infrastructure for one of the largest sites on the net, this is absolutely true.

We were the first to do live 1080p streaming. At the time, even finding a hardware mixer for this content was difficult. It was so early that there was only one product available that wasn't just prime time equipment.
DNA is different because it identifies you directly. That creates a chilling effect. The likelihood of someone not reporting a burglary to the police because in a few years they might want to murder someone with their unique sword is… low. Rape is already infrequently reported because police are often hostile; we definitely don’t want to add that a crucial part of the victims will be forever on the police’s radar, just in case it ever becomes relevant, to be used as evidence against them.
What? I can't invert my mind enough to understand this phrasing.

There doesn't have to be an admission. It could be overt and conscious, or it could be subconscious (e.g. associating minorities with having less competence without even realizing it).
