> I've never heard of the MPAA slapping a new certification on an already approved movie

At least in the UK, from what I understand, if you make a "not actually new" release (by adding something like a director's commentary), it has to be re-rated by the BBFC. There's also the case of, IIRC, "The Specialist" which was a 15 in cinemas but an 18 when later released on video.[1]

(None of which is relevant to the YouTube argument, mind.)

What is the modern DevOps workflow?
I think there is a lot of research to qualify your opinion. A VC backed startup is a very different beast than a bootstrapped startup with a wildly different goal and trajectory. VC-backed startups must focus on market growth in order to make that next round of funding. Bootstrapped startups must focus on product and building strong personal relationships.

Every indication suggests you need a cofounder to achieve success in a VC startup where momentum matters most. In the bootstrapped startup it appears an individual founder is fine so long as the business is built on a valid premise: product excellence and some customer or business partner willing to endure your early failures.

Take https://dannyreviews.com/h/Plant_Evolution.html

I would have never come across that book, but the single sentence "Not only did I learn from it an immense amount of botany (including much of the anatomy and taxonomy that I had never previously retained)" made this an immediate addition to my Amazon list.

This single sentence already makes the review valuable to me.

I've previously read https://shop.rhs.org.uk/books/general-gardening/beginners-gu... (Gorgeous illustrations! Fantastic explanations!) and this seems to be a great follow-up to taxonomy, since I'm also interested in evolution (see also Danny's reviews of Gould's books).
It's not a big deal, there's rarely any enforcement of this, no-one cares except for the usual angry hams.
There are some very alarming things going on, like the situation in Great Britain, where it's still not clear how bad it is. I am afraid that the same can happen to the euro, lose additional 30-50% buying power vs the Dollar and cause further wreckage in the financial system. Another thing to worry about is if the US will be able to rollover their debt at these elevated interest rates. The cost is becoming huge and the alternative is to inflate it.

I think that in the short term the best position is cash and maybe some commodities, oil is a good entry after a few months of decline. I would definitely buy some Bitcoin and Ethereum, especially if Bitcoin goes sub 15K, but even if the bottom is in, I think some will be good for my portfolio. Stocks are an inflation hedge, especially value and utilities. I don't think it's still a good time for tech stocks, not until the situation with energy and interest rates improves.

In terms of profiting from the crisis, if we get a crash sub 15K in BTC it might be the best multi year opportunity for entry. If you want to bet even bigger maybe buy another L1, since that one might go x25 when BTC goes x10.

>How would deleting the account in question help anyone, though? Or are you saying that after deleting, they would then be allowed to re-register after a ban?

The problem described in the post is that the user has a shadow, inaccessible disabled account that they can't do anything about, forever, and that's a problem.

I think it would be isomorphic to Google implementing verification on account creation, thereby preventing this scenario from happening in the first place.
Taking in consideration how much the market appreciated, there's still a lot of room for correction. People compare the SPY returns in 2008 to 2022, but pre 2008 we didn't have such a pump like the covid pump and even 10 years of up only before that, financed by low interest rates and QE. Markets need a reset. Be patient, make buck and invest it, we might get a whole decade of ranging markets, be prepared.

3. While this and the previous points are not here to state that the JS universe is perfect, I have seen far worse stuff haunting the industry in the past: Php and Java alone have produced thousands of so-called professionals who still have trouble distinguishing db from backend from frontend, and have no remote idea of what dependency management is whatsoever.

I find it fascinating you could sonsider a game to be the greatest of all time when the gameplay itself isn't good. Is gameplay not the most important part of a game?

> Since 2011 Green Planet Energy has been selling the proWindgas product which was initially 100% imported fossil gas, and the company promised a gradual increase in the proportion of hydrogen generated from excess renewable energy.[5] As of 2020 the share of hydrogen mostly oscillated below 1%.[6] > Sales of 99% fossil gas presented as “eco-gas” have been criticized as contradictory[7][8] as well as "greenwashing" of Russian gas.

I get your point and also think that optimizing for money may be problematic at the moment. Ideally you should get rewarded(with money)if what you create is of great value to society. But this system seems to be broken otherwise we wouldn't have so many problems. Nevertheless I still think that society will reward you if you make a big contribution.
You can look at the historical track for both

- unlocking new revenue streams. Some success here, but modest, going from ~90% of revenue from ads to ~80%. But it all moved to GCP, which still operates at a loss. That doesn't take any pressure off the ads.

- revenue gains with targeting or other things that don't push real content down. It's pretty easy to find historical screen shots of how much the organic content gets pushed down below the fold. Today, most of the lucrative queries have almost nothing but ads above the fold. ("iphone", "vegas hotels", "robot vacuum").
And the market rate for copies is still 5-15¢ per copy. That would be up to $1.41 adjusted for inflation!
I would assume that those spanning sets would differ between individuals to a significant degree, so you'd still have to do the more extensive training to determine and verify a working spanning set in the first place. Maybe after training with a large number of people, certain typical patterns will emerge that can be used to speed up the process, but I suspect you'll still have to deal with a lot of individual variation.
I'm too busy working at an energy startup I think is the best path forward for energy security: something that takes a bit more effort than being an armchair quarterback.

Actually, I think that even if Google abandons Go (I agree that it's unlikely though), the community is now big enough that it'll survive on its own.
Is that excessive? It looks like it's taking the most direct route it can. First goes west to NY, then goes south to DC, south again to Atlanta, and then makes a series of westward hops to Houston, El Paso, Phoenix, and San Diego. And I'm guessing the hops within London and San Diego would be something like a router for local traffic, a router for regional traffic, and a router for international/interstate traffic.

I did try with a ~145m loop here, but it was hard to keep up the speed. Turns so tight I couldn't do them much faster than ~27km/h, and then I would be stuck there all night. So did 100 laps out of ~700 before I caved in haha. Found another one here that's ~700m, but it's actually quite hilly and had bad luck with the wind being against me going up the hill, so caved in after 33 rounds. Will try this round again with a faster bike and better weather, though ideally I'd like a shorter and flatter one.

But yeah, combating the boredom is somehow the alluring part for me. Just zone out and do it. I've biked 300km races and similar, so the distance isn't the problem.
It's really not important. If I want to play a "fun" game I'd go for mario kart. Nier is not very accessible and it's better for it. Also, the gameplay is not bad, just generic.

This is 100% going to happen, so my guess is it can’t be authoritative. It’s likely to be used to whittle down a list so that humans can review the results.

Feels like the beginning of a hybrid Minority Report + Enemy of the State movie. I’d watch that. I don’t want to live in that world, though.
It sounds like a fun challenge though I must say that I've heard not once, hikers describing a trail's total elevation gain as being such and such times "climbing Mt. Everest" (when trying to say that the total elevation was some multiple of 8848 meters). Even if you discount going back and forth between camps for carrying gear, the total elevation gain of climbing to an altitude of X meter will always be significantly larger than X (unless maybe you're climbing stairways).

Youtube doesn't ban the word "fuck". There are consequences for using profanity in the first 30 seconds of a video in terms of marketability, but after that you can use many forms of profanity.

You can say fuck, maybe even fucking fuck, but six fucks are age restricted? That's incredibly arbitrary, especially for a video that is otherwise practically clear of foul language.

There are entire channels that spout profanity every ten seconds and get fully ad supported, yet this video is deemed inappropriate.

Banning profanity is easy to explain, but such rules must be applied consistently. The biggest guidelines problem YouTube has is that whether or not they'll add any restrictions to your video is based on a dice roll.
The reason we can't replace SQL is that it is the lingua franca between many client tools and data sources. From programming languages, to Analytics tools, to ETL tools to bulk data transfer tools, everything knows how to define SQL queries. On the datastorage side, almost everything is standardizing on SQL as its API: RDBMSes, but also NoSQL storage (etc, hadoop + hive, etc), data virtualization layers (denodo, aws athena, steam pipe).

You can't change this by providing a better query language in one of the datasource products, or by providing a better ORM. Because of the network effects it will be very hard to come up with something better that is universally adopted. Many have tried though but it's always limited to a small stack: MDX, DAX, Linq, Dplyr, Graphql, etc.

There may be opportunities to replace SQL as soon as we need something that moves away from relational algebra. Currently you see al lot of adoption on graph storage and graph query languages in the Data Fabric space, as users need to build queries reasoning about relationships between different datasets in the enterprise.

The other reason Data Fabrics could offer an opportunity here is that they're basically adding an layer of abstraction between all data sources and data consumers, and they the possibility to translate SQL into something else, e.g. graphql.
No they did not, you are making things up.
I get what you're saying, but if the gameplay/design doesn't support it in any way, it doesn't matter how good the story is.

I feel like I went through it a little quick and then basically got softlocked at one of the later bosses in my first playthrough, since they take away all of your equipment when you die, which is supremely frustrating, and they won't let you buy any more supplies to prepare in that save since all of the shops are closed due to the boss... Must have given up after 15-20 tries and never touched it again.

While I also want a low-computation codec that can save space, the historical use cases unfortunately assumes a lot more CPU power to be compensated for a lot less bandwidth, so there's little research in this area, and there's no real incentive to make something like ProRes and DNxHD as if you are editing audio the SSD speeds has been so fast that you'll run into CPU problems first.

Regarding not being able to adequately query Things 3, I'd point out that the full Things 3 db is a SQLite file on disk. So if you're happy to write a bit of sql you can query anything you want. Since the author already explored JavaScript for automation that might be an option.

FROM and all subsequent JOINs, to be precise. They all generate a single namespace which SELECT uses. As far as I understand the grammar, FROM isn’t even a separate clause, but is itself a separator between a columnset and an expression of the form `t1 JOIN t2 ON cond12 JOIN t3 ON cond123 JOIN …`, where t<n> may be either a table name, or an arbitrarily nested subexpression of the same form.

You can read the same idea, time and time again in this same website, I even have heard this exact multi-billion dollar idea from my drunk cousin who is into crypto but has no idea of the complexities of running a tech business. So like always the common wisdom is that more than the idea, what matters is the implementation.

And while I also share the negative outlook on these 2, I'm aware that they are part of the group who could get it done, as they have the business know how, the connections and the money. Yet like Trump before with his social network, I still don't think they can beat the network effect.
My state is building 2 new reactors and they will be the first to be built in the US in 30 years.

Unisys did make their Windows-based emulators for OS2200 and MCP freely available for download (for personal/non-commercial use) for a few years.

Sadly, they appear to have now discontinued their free "hobbyist" program, although they still sell the emulator commercially (apparently, the MCP emulator costs US$11,000 for a 5-year license – some people will spend even more than that on a "hobby", but you'd have to be pretty devoted to a hobby to do that, and I doubt many people have that much devotion to a dying mainframe OS)

Still, that's better than IBM has ever done for IBM i. Not aware there has ever been an emulator for it. There are POWER emulators (QEMU for example), but while they can run AIX and Linux, I'm not aware of any which can run IBM i. Maybe IBM has one internally, but if they do, they are very tight-lipped about it. In theory, an open source emulator such as QEMU could be enhanced to be able to run it – but IBM's licensing probably won't allow it, which is part of why nobody appears to have done so.

IBM Cloud hosts IBM i, but it is rather expensive. In a US data centre, 0.25 core of an S922, 1GB RAM, 10GB disk will cost you US$382/month. By comparison, the same hardware for bring-your-own Linux will cost you US$32/month, showing how much of that is software licensing. AIX is US$39/month – much more reasonable software charges than IBM i is. RZKH PowerBunker, the German company which runs PUB400, can't do much better than IBM, given they still have to pay IBM licensing fees. Their prices start at US$200/month, which is cheaper than IBM, but actually a much lower hardware spec (1/20th of a core rather than 1/4 of a core). For equivalent hardware, they charge (roughly) double what IBM Cloud does.
