It should tell you before you install or update the extension, not randomly when they decide that now is the best time.
Those are staking pools, which represent thousands of individual users, and the largest one (LIDO) also has has additional decentralization that is not well captured by looking at just reward address. The reward address is a contract that individual users will be able to tap into.

Worth adding it's also not substantially less decentralized than PoW mining was, the status quo was 41% of hash power controlled by 2 pools. At least now it's using significantly less power and is largely more non-custodial.
And it's fast and doesn't come with 30 000 features you don't need, like support for print design.

Sounds like you have several experiences as a Clojure job seeker. Has that been driven more by your personal Clojure network or kind of scatter-and-spray applying to jobs that list Clojure as a possible skill?

I ask because I occasionally look at Indeed or LinkedIn to see if I can get a feel for the current Clojure hiring market. The results of those searches seem to be trending downward for me over the last few years. Which doesn't mean there are fewer jobs than before but makes me question if more folks are Clojure job searching on various Clojure-focused resources instead.
> I think this article performs multiple leaps of logic and cites anonymous sources for its more serious allegations. For example it assumes an off handed anonymous glassdoor comment “if half the child porn allegations are true patreon is in trouble” to mean patreon as a company is aware of and endorses any child porn on its platform. It could instead just be someone who saw the same tiktok the article points to alleging child porn.

I did much the same thing when the kids were about the same age. I would also put a kitchen timer _in the room_ set to 3:10. So at 3 minutes I got the reminder to stop what I'm doing and go to the room. Then at 3:10 their timer goes off and I came right in the door. The idea was to teach them that the timer brings the parent, not the crying.

The only thing most people outside don't talk about when it comes to Poland is our insanely terrible and corrupted government, lack of teachers, nurses, doctors, much higher inflation recently, regressing in women's rights, bad air quality in most big cities etc. Public healthcare is in so bad state that you need to go private anyway to get anything done. Also half of our society is still really religious, close minded and anti-west, it's slowly changing but Poland is still pretty hard place to live, f.e. for LGBT people. All those things are stopping me from actually commiting to staying in Poland, besides having my family I hate almost everything about this country.

Doubtful. The roundabouts placed in some places in the IE still had people going the wrong way and just generally not understanding how they worked. You'd need to do education along with implementation for something like that to help.

Personally I doubt it would help traffic in any significant manner but who knows.
I'd make damned sure that there are restrooms and medical help to take care of the people who may have over-estimated their ability to wait in the line. These are people who are witness to the death of someone they have a strong parasocial relationship with, and this is their one chance to pay their respects.

The length of the queue, and the experience of those in line are sharing, is an expression of that respect, minimizing it is disrespectful. Not everything needs to be commodified and sold back to us.

--

My experience when there is an "online check in" (like at the hair-cut place) is that most people in the queue aren't actually there, and it doesn't actually help. I got there at just the right time, and the 7 people who showed up later ended up having to wait in order anyway.

Oh I know. I'm far more radical than the baseline on this, and think we are correctly moving towards a significant decoupling of gender expression from many of the things it used to signify, and that overall this is good.

But I also know that some element of gender expression is present in nearly all human cultures across time, and it is a powerful meaning maker both for individuals and societies, and that being more aware of that and doing it intentionally seems to make it a more powerful act, not less.

And just on a practical level it's still not clear to anyone really what elements of human experience are strictly mediated through gender performance and which are inescapable parts of our biology. I welcome exploration and play in this area, but I can't confidently assert that a genderless future is even possible, or desirable if it is. It really does seem to be as much a part of us as storytelling, or music. I may be wrong on this and that's fine and time will tell.

But again both people and cultures find deep meaning and even selfhood in expressing gender, and I don't feel like, from here in 2022, we have the understanding to say they are wrong to do so.

Intelligence doesn't seem that complex a thing to define, to me. Oxford Dictionary says "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills".

I generally go for a slightly wider "The ability to create models of the world around them, and make predictions based on those models" - where "knowledge" would be "models" and "making predictions based on those models" is a sort of proto-skill.

Sure, the kinds of things that different people find easy to model vary. One person might find it easy to model mathematical theorems, others the internal working of car engines. But in both cases there's an underlying ability to make a mental model of the thing you're learning about, and use that to predict how it will function, and work out what you can do with it.

Go back and read it. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt now, but you did not. You threw barbs and used the word "scam" as often as you could, and told me I'd be likely disappearing in a few minutes. Then someone showed up to comment on how disappointed they are I didn't really disappear like I promised. Can't win for losing. This is exactly like every crypto discussion on the internet today, it's very frustrating. I hope you know how difficult it is for me to be this patient. (It actually reminds me a whole lot of doing Ruby evangelism in almost the same circles...)

> how easily accessible those traditional financial instruments are

> I have some money invested in risky assets that in the past two months sank 10% due to the way the world is right now

I'm talking about deliverable perpetual futures. If you had seen this coming, you could have done some short-selling to hedge your risks. Price goes up, you deliver and sell for a profit. Price goes down, you still have your asset and can cash out for a profit. Is that a service offered by your bank? Not mine...

But maybe your bank offers it ...maybe only to qualified/accredited investors? How do I get that?

Now perhaps you see what I am getting at? It's not accessible, no matter how many books you read. Go out and get a million dollars today, through some act of God, and you still won't be a qualified investor next week or next year. Or you can wait for SEC approval, and then you can go get them through your broker I guess.

Some people read books, others are not well-served by book learning. I looked for a book that could explain it to me, but ultimately I only learned by getting hosed using these instruments flatly incorrectly until I figured out what I was doing wrong, by using them, and observing the outcomes, then also asking for help. Lovely people answering questions to help others learn. (It was the friends we made along the way!)

Is there some reason the system is the way it is? Yes, I'm sure there is. Does it protect people how it was really intended, or does it actually mean it just remains inaccessible to most people? This is how crypto levels the playing field.

Does that mean you cannot cut yourself when working with the sharp object? No, it definitely is not safe to go alone here. There are a million and one ways to lose all your money, plus a million new ones that weren't possible before. And soon a new technology will come, and everyone who understands the current landscape will know immediately what to do with it, (and everyone who has had their head in the sand will wait for the SEC for guidance, and eventually begrudgingly accept the improvement, maybe, once all the life has been sucked out of it by bureaucrats.)

The other virtue of this technique is that some of the more popular fast rejection sampling methods (e.g. Lemire's "nearly divisionless") leak a small amount of information via timing side channel, because the divisionless fast path is _not_ unbiased.

No it wouldn't. It would cease to further incentivize them. Once you have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life, maybe you don't need external incentives for your behavior? Maybe you should be encouraged to simply do whatever you find most fulfilling, without financial reward?
It does seem "stupid" to require testing of steel at one hundred degrees below zero when the steel is going to be used in a submarine. How will the steel ever end up at a temperature of -100F?

I'm not a metallurgist, but I did take a class at MIT on the subject and worked in a metallurgy lab for a couple of summers. The temperature of steel has an effect on the nature of fractures that can occur. Ductile fractures start at a crack and the steel deforms as the crack widens. This is the way most everyday metals under everyday circumstances act. The deformation absorbs energy and dissipates the forces acting on the metal. If this occurred in a beam, it might be observed to be deformed before a catastrophic failure happens.

Brittle fracture is different. A crack forms and it travels rapidly like breaking glass. Such fractures travel through the metal at the speed of sound through the metal (over 2000 ft/sec for steel). Pipelines in Alaska can experience such fractures. Such a fracture could travel thousands of feet because at the point of fracture there is no pressure drop at all (since that drop in pressure would travel at the slower speed of sound though natural gas).

This is a concern in Alaska because a piece of steel can exhibit ductile fracture behavior at ordinary temperature but transition to brittle fracture at lower temperatures. This transition point depends on the steel composition and its history. The history of the steel includes heat and mechanical treatments during it's production, but also the stresses put on it during its use such as welding, shaping and forming, vibration, and even exposure to radiation (which will occur in some parts of a submarine since they contain nuclear reactors). I have no idea
how the steel was intended to be used, but conceivably there could be good reasons for the -100F requirement even if the steel was never going to come close to this temperature. (For example, I know nothing of the relationship of radiation embrittlement and the ductile-brittle fracture temperature transition.) So while the testing requirement sounds "stupid" it is perhaps even stupider to ignore it.
This position does not offer remote working.
Sure, this is ideal given unlimited time and money, but hiring dedicated devs for tooling is going to be expensive. And once they fix "the problem," they're still on payroll. Yay they'll keep fixing problems and improving the software, but it's basically the most expensive software subscription model imaginable.

> I think once all the externalities are factored in, doing it all on a computer makes more sense even if POW is energy intensive.

No, it's not even close. Bitcoin currently uses as much electricity as 31 million US residents. One transaction uses more than two months of average residential usage.

> (including things like minting and handling physical cash and coin)

Why would you include that? Do you think people won't want to carry money? Do you think bitcoin makes cards, POS processors, and cash obsolete? Do physical wallets not take energy to make and run?

Regardless, the amount of energy used to make and use physical money is very small:

1. coins are irrelevant; the most expensive coins are cents, which cost about a cent to make. The total amount of coins made is much smaller than the amount of paper dollars made, so the value of energy used is small compared to the total cash made.

2. The US spends 1 billion annually to mint currency. Bitcoin spends 6.5 billion USD on electricity directly.

Sadly his night feeds went somewhat long because he was a reluctant burper, and that big burp was definitely necessary for him to fall back asleep.

There are probably more conducive environments for reading that book...

I am. Would you please point me at some things to study?

The best I can imagine is languages like F* (https://www.fstar-lang.org/, and more specifically the Low* subset for dealing with memory) which make you prove everything. And thus are such a PITA to program in that it make sense to code only the most security-demanding things.

Dependant types are also not able to protect you from memory bugs in self-referential datastructures AFAIK.

I am open to reading about research in PL. But if you point me at some mainstream (or just production-ready) languages/runtimes it would be even better.

Thanks.

I think the former is a reasonable solution. For example, Nautilus will honour both filenames starting with a ., and all files listed inside a file named `.hidden` in a directory. Adding a third mechanism to hide files is not a big stretch.
