I can't find a summary of the contents but if I doesn't address liquidity preference, holding costs of different classes of assets, the fact that money abstracts over time and space and often is used to ignore the microscopic details of the real economy then I would say that someone like that has completely missed the point of money.

"Murray N. Rothbard's most famous essay on monetary theory.

Buffoonish and evil politicians, the banking cartel, the cabal that established the Federal Reserve, Lincoln's greenbacks, FDR's stealing of the gold, the Fed and the Great Depression, and so much more." is the only summary I have found so far and it doesn't it inspire confidence.

Edit:

"Fiat currency became the new star of the show. To Rothbard, the Fed is nothing more than a massive counterfeiting operation that forces Americans to pay ever-growing interest on money that continues to be worth less and less. In Rothbard’s opinion, the only way to stop this vicious cycle is “by the return to a free market commodity money such as gold, and by removing government totally from the monetary scene.”"

Yep, completely missing the point. A reintroduction of the gold standard isn't going to stop either inflation nor the "interest spiral" because the real return on deflating money is still positive as if there was a debt spiral. It also doesn't get rid of the inflation deflation volatility.
It can be a mechanism to detect bots, for sure. Many app platforms have serious trouble with people just hanging hundreds of phones on a wall with an auto clicker for ad fraud or other nefarious purposes. Being able to detect and shadow ban them would be a good way to use this technology.

I don't think keystroke patterns will be similar enough across devices to properly detect and track users, though they can certainly make an attempt. They'll be able to detect users on shared devices but I don't that adding much value to their tracking.

Rumsfeld vs FAIR was a spending clause case, so there was an additional level of indirection vs the Texas law. In addition it involved Congress’ power to raise and support armies which have always been given a great deal of deference. It’s not really on point.
No idea why this comment was flagged. It seems a commonsense take.
Help me out here. One tactic during the Enron Wild West energy market era was to turn off generating capacity so that prices would rise. With a price cap, such a strategy would become unworkable, wouldn't it? At least for the naive onlooker it would.
Is it your expectation that the candidate completes all the tasks in 45 minutes to pass the interview? Or how much do they need to finish?
I find it more eerie that your (and probably mine) phone lets an app get that info at all.

We wouldn't need to talk about privacy abuses if phones wouldn't let apps do all the shady stuff at the first place, and if privacy controls were better.
I don't like it either, but fwiw:

> What harm are you trying to prevent from preventing "rooted users"?

Bypassing $streaming-app DRM/accessing its downloaded files for offline viewing (to copy elsewhere and keep forever) is a fair reason I think (better if it would just disable that feature of course).

No idea why banking apps don't like it though. I assume they (or rather some manager, presumably not their Android devs) think 'rooted, uh-oh, hacker!' or something.

Just FYI, the page doesn’t work on iPad/iOS 14.x Safari, no animals to be seen, just the static graph.
I said “statistically significant” to make it clear that “not everyone”.
The dates and signatures bit is nonsense, but it does help to have things in writing to ensure everyone's on the same page. That just means that when you're discussing things not in writing, you send a written follow up to everyone that's involved immediately afterwards. If it's a meeting, take detailed notes and send them around afterwards. If it's a one on one conversation, just send a follow up email that says something like, "Hi x, I just wanted to memorialize our conversation - here are the main notes that I took. Please let me know if any of this sounds off to you. Thank you."

That doesn't preclude them from not reading that email and later telling you they said something completely different, but at that point you should probably be heading for the door anyway.
I'm not a VC so I don't really know, but it seems that a valuation of 0.1% of the size of the economy of Pakistan isn't that relevant if the company could have sold into even just India or Arab countries, and would be completely irrelevant if they could eventually expand worldwide.
This is or was very common. The data was also for sale. There were major players selling this at alt data events I went to a few years ago.
I hope it's not. I had to stop playing RDR2 after about 4 hours when I realized what a slog it was to do anything in that game. Even walking was clunky in the name of "realism". Please no more of that.

It depends on your company’s retention policy for historical messages. Otherwise, you’re basically signed in as that user, so you can see whatever they see… which can be a lot depending on the company’s transparency.
Someone should be very embarrassed about how they have handled this whole process.

Surely code to operate condition variables correctly is in the public domain, that does not involve mitigations or stolen signals.

Roleplay servers require a lot of human moderation, else it won't be roleplay and it will be trollish and simply like an advanced Cops and Robbers mode. The development isn't the problem. They could make a server listing and make 'FiveM' or 'RageMP' part of the default experience. Although a lot of these servers ask for donations so they may not want to redirect players away from the stuff they sell.

RP goes way back than 5, as a matter of fact there are still active servers for GTA San Andreas Roleplay (SAMP) and of course Arma was popular in the past.

Skimming this, this isn't something glibc can do reliably. This has to be a kernel fix. The underlying FUTEX_OP operation is... obtuse. Futexes were originally designed for simple locking and semaphores, and only later extended to condition variables, and the result isn't pretty. (To be fair: it's a very hard problem on kernels that need to scale to hundreds of cores across many levels of memory interconnect.)

Trying to fix this in userspace is just about tuning to try to suppress the underlying issues, and recovering cleanly when things break.
Who are these millions of Americans who are writing a bunch of stuff by pen every day, instead of on a computer or phone?
GTA isn't where you go to for innovations -- its DNA is pretty set in stone, and judging from its economic success, it's DNA is great.

Presumably it's just going to be another (revisited) location, better graphics/animation/AI, stories are getting more complex, even bigger maps with even more side missions and discoveries, and probably another leap in terms in realism of NPC's -- much like RDR2 lets you have (elementary) conversations with virtually everyone, and NPC's follow much more realistic entire "paths" and activities during the day.

GTA has always been about unparalleled breadth, not depth. Deep and narrow is the DNA of other different types of games. And nobody has the resources to to deep and broad. GTA's breadth and shallowness is its defining feature, not its problem.
> you don't need to lift the pen/pencil from the paper as often.

But you are contact with the paper far longer, which incurs friction and uses more ink/graphite. Moving the writing tip through the air is far easier and faster than dragging it along the paper.

With cursive, not only do many letters require twice as much drawing, such as letter "l" (ell) -- with cursive you have to draw twice as long a line (up and down again) compared with printing (a single stroke). But they also require drawing across the gap between letters, again slowing you down and not contributing to actually forming any letters.

I am old enough that cursive was taught and used throughout my entire educational period, but around age 11 or 12 I decided to start printing instead, and I was easily able to write as fast as my peers on in-class exams, etc. And far more legibly.
He and his round lead Atif Awan have been part of fraud rumors. According to their slide deck back in 2021 they were supposed to be profitable by end of 2021. Once you look at the numbers being quoted in the deck and avg Pakistani house hold, they don’t add up. So Gul can do all glorifications that he might want, it doesn’t change the fact that there have been some shaddy practices involved in the a whole group of people associated to this company.
Like lots of folks in the replies I have had previous employers write up letters explicitly excepting named projects from any ownership implied in the general employment contract. Of course it helps to have a good relationship with your manager/CEO. gl!
>> “It was very easy to get new subscriptions online and get into contracts with a company. Like there was little to no control,” one former employee, who worked in the product department at the Lahore headquarters, told Rest of World. “We had a lot of power to make decisions — like, I made a deal for $100,000 and all I had to do was send an email to management,” the employee said.

And this is why compliance is such an important thing in companies, everyone being able to source whatever they want is guaranteed disaster.

The rest so reads like a bucket list of how not to run logistics and supply chains. All done by people in management who had no place on those domains to begin with.

Warehouses set up in days? Sure, cool if you are able to do so. If you are not, you setting up your ops up for failure. Bad inventory control, ignoring shelf life? Failing at the core of what eCommerce is about. No inventory strategy, warehouse network planning? Sure way to never ever be profitable.

It reads like Airlift was moving fast down the pre-inflation path of VC funded, not sustainable growth to dump the whole thing on clueless retail investors through an IPO or SPAC. I expect more stories like this to emerge in the next months.

Edit:

>> “We developed one of the most sophisticated remote surveillance networks with 30+ cameras in each warehouse that operated 24 hours/day.” -> According to the aeticle Gul, the airlift founder, said that.

This is not how you monitor pilferage. You do it by recording inventory movements, orders and deviations. CCTV can them help find the perpetrators of theft, if there is any. Heck, ops wise these people had no idea what they did..

In physics that's absolutely right. Work per unit time.

In stereoscopic reality, it's the ability to do what you will. Will. Will to power.

For good or evil, it's up to you. You need power to do good, in fact more power generally.
No, in the heatwave of this summer, some French nuclear plants had to be turned off because the rivers in which the cooling water had to be released had become too warm. (Further French nuclear plants had to be turned off due to technical problems.) So France had to import much energy to meet its demand. It was mainly Germany that helped out. The same problem affected – besides Belgium, Switzerland – Germany, too, though to a lesser degree (no pun intended) because Germany is less dependent on nuclear.

These people likely have rich inner lives. What makes it hard to hope and dream other than incredible sensitivity, difficult experiences, and complex stories and histories that paralyze a person as they move through life?

Life can be incredibly difficult. It can become scary to dream. The will and desire to do so comes much more easily when you world tells you it’s permissible and rewarding to do so. For many of us, this doesn’t happen. Dreams get crushed over and over, hopes washed away, and fortune doesn’t favour us nearly as much as others.

Not all of us are Epictetus, Viktor Frankl, or other wise philosophers who could take adversity and transform it into meaning and joy. Even so, I doubt very much that this kind of person is anything like a zombie. Maybe outwardly so, but that means very little.
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve become stuck in a semantic bog-hole, but amused to learn that my words are so powerful that they overwhelm your conscious agency.

Nice.

I tried to fuzz this rather than use an exhaustive search.

So random animals walk randomly.

It gets stuck. So I added if no animal moves after 100 attempts, restart.

But it seems to get stuck all the time. So it loops around mostly and eventually falls to the stuck position.

I have to think about this, is the entropy such that you'll never practically escape by randomly walking?

I feel like if I add more conditions it just becomes an exhaustive search with billions+ of times the extra calculations.

Yes, it's idiotic.
I don't think it's a communication issue, I think it's a phone/system permission issue.

Somehow we made a change with our view at permissions to let or not-let apps access our files (storage permission), location and camera/microphone... but why the hell do we let them do all the other stuff (like this?).

There should be a giant popup saying "TikTok wants to see the list of all the installed applications on your phone, do you want to allow that? yes once, not now, not ever" and it's done. Then have the developers deal with the "monetizers" if it's worth it for millions of people to see that popup and question why does a video app need such a permission.
It makes more sense to see it as frustration about the space that is then applied to individual authors. Hating on Newport is rather pointless; it will not affect his life or yield useful ideas. What's happening is that people are growing tired of the whole hustle/newsletter/productivity fetish/repackaged stoicism atmosphere that permeates the internet, and are directing their frustration poorly. There is something deeply sterile about the throbbing mass of podcasts and blog posts that revolve around these topics, but there rarely is a precise target to focus on or even a useful way to voice the accompanying frustration.
I would be willing to take productivity porn seriously, if the people obsessing over it were provably exceptionally productive (like, I don't know, "here's how I learned multiple languages and musical instruments while finishing a physics PhD as a single parent" or whatever).

For example, even the creator of SuperMemo seems a fairly average person and not the polymath/hyperpolyglot one might have expected him to be (or at least I could not find any indication of that).

Likewise, what has David Allen actually done beyond writing the same book half a dozen times?

As far as I can see this stuff mostly exists to fill a need for structure, but it does NOT make one exceptionally productive (also accounting for the time that needs to be invested in the tools and techniques themselves).
By "shallow", they mean that there is no interesting story line.

I think for our age group, game mechanics and open world are not enough - we want to be told/discover an interesting story.
I can't find info on what radio you used. Code like this would be more fun to see with links to the hardware design. Is any of the design documented and published?
They mean "shallow" as in there is no interesting story line.
Nuclear engineer here (specialty in core design/simulation). It's fun to see the Monte Carlo method be used in so many other fields now. Even in nuclear, deterministic methods are still orders of magnitude faster for most 'normal' reactor analyses on reactor configurations that are common enough to have all the important deterministic effects known. But with computers so fast, it's quite common for people, especially in conceptual design space, to use Monte Carlo methods since it's a lot easier to believe the answer once you get it.

The code MCNP is still the most common nuclear analysis code, and it's directly descended from these original codes from LANL. [1]

There is also a very powerful research code called OpenMC from ANL that anyone can run on their (powerful) computer. [2]

It's worth re-emphasizing this point: "Doing a full rewrite with a junior team is not going to end well."
1) I'm not sure if you were the person who made the original deleted post or not.

2) I realize that in many areas there's a price list that they're legally obliged to follow and there's technically not a market.

3) What I want to explore is are the prices set at about what would be the "market rate" or not, and what are the consequences of this. For example, if prices for "treating medical condition X" are set below what the market rate for a service would be in a real marketplace for example, what are the consequences of this?
If you have a knack for them, you can probably just avoid making illegal moves and not worry about it.

Reinforcing the rules of the puzzle when you try to violate one is a good idea.
Who cares? Pretty much everyone gave up on actually using signatures for any form of serious verification ages ago, and that's before you get into people who can't do more than initial for various physical reasons.

Outside of things like law and finance that are deeply stuck in the past, almost nothing requires a signature these days, or if they do you can just kinda scribble something that vaguely has shapes of letters in it. I learned cursive, but I'm definitely not writing proper lettering if I'm signing a check or some contract.
Absolutely! I love this point.

SUBTITLES: The film industry makes high art as well as common fare. The high art is what the artists want to make and enjoy but it has a very small market. The common fare is what pays the bills, because it sells like 100x more tickets than high art. High art = caviar, Shakespeare "caviar for the general" whereas common fare is hamburgers, flipping burgers, which is a real business, many more servings of hamburgers than caviar.

I did not see much evidence of story line anywhere in the leak. It looked entirely like resource collection and vanilla game mechanics.

No checkpoints were visible even. I think it's far more likely that this game will be about "open world" and "multiplayer" combat and driving mechanics, centered around resource collection.
I was also delayed for weeks, but it's worth it. If they really put up a stink then you don't want to work there.

In general that shouldn't be allowed. I believe on the latest versions of Android, both apps need to explicitly set which apps may have visibility of each-other. I think you can apply to Google to bless your app with visibility of all installed apps, but I think that's limited to things that need extra security. The banking app could qualify for that.

Reminds me of playing Prof. Robert West's implementation called "Wikispeedia" back in High School after AP CS Exams (and trying to call out anyone using the Find feature of their browser!)

But its great to see folks are iterating on this concept further with a different UI and more features.
Interesting conversations online have gone the way of the Dodo Bird. Many platforms need to be advertiser friendly, you need lots of moderation to get onto the app stores, and if somehow an interesting places does spring up eventually one of the big players finds a way to take it down.

Turns out you can brute force a TOTP code in about 2 hours if you are careful and the remote service doesn't have throttling or rate limiting of authentication attempts.

Turns out that this is not a realistic assumption. Limiting authentication attempts is fairly trivial and is implemented in most cases. This also assumes that the "other" factor in 2FA is known/broken

I defy anyone to brute force a username, password and TOTP code in 2 hours. In my case, the TOTP code is only checked if the "other" factors are valid and the attacker has no feedback on the cause of any failure.
