The need for the "crossover" qualifier says it all, IMO. It's a slightly taller station wagon, not something I'm going to take 10 miles down pock-marked forest roads.
And yet decentralized exchanges exist that have been operating successfully for years. Survival of the fittest is a good thing in this case. I would trust a defi exchange that's had people trying to break it constantly for years much more than I would trust, for example, the security of my money in a local bank. People get their money stolen in confidence scams and other exploits every day and that money is just as gone.
I've had a flurry of recruiter's contact me lately. A lot more than I usually get. Non-FAANG, 2 YOE. So there is another anecdote for you all.
Grant funded non profit research is at least pretty predictable. You know you are on a 2-5 year grant and you can help apply for the next one.
Maybe recession?
> if you control your own keys then you don't need to wonder about whether binance is solvent or not.

That's not really true though, is it? The value of those coins is directly tied to the existence and function of (enough) exchanges to facilitate their use. Enough exchanges fold, and your coins won't be worth the bits they're taking up.
If he's on an M1 Mac, he might still be using x86 docker images, which would incur some overhead on top of the usual overheads of virtualization. (I know that Docker doesn't inherently require virtualization, but it does on Mac.)
Look up how consensus works on proof of stake blockchains. Specifically Tendermint chains, Ethereum, Tezos, Algorand.

One of the carefully orchestrated PR articles at the height of the investigations into Microsoft. Even in the early '90s, Microsoft were operating at genius level for their control of public discussion about the company.

One of my all-time favorite bullshit claims is the "Gates always flies coach when he is traveling on business." and the hilariously ridiculous "Experienced fliers into and out of Seattle know to scan the cabin for a man with a blanket over his head—that’s Bill Gates, taking a nap."

Total bullshit; even then, no-airline would have Bill Gates check in as an economy passenger and not instantly upgrade him and move mere mortals well away from him. The article even talks about Gate's temper just before the coach claim - no-one would risk their career or livelihood by failing to treat him with super-special billionaire status.

Having a different code path that only triggers during high load feels pretty risky to me.
The west doesn't need other nations to have high fertility rates, it just needs other nations to have people who want to immigrate to the west. Populations keep increasing for many years after the birthrate falls below replacement rate due to population momentum (people individually have fewer kids, but there are more people having kids than there used to be). And even after the population truly stops growing, people will still leave for wealthier areas in search of higher quality of life. If people keep emmigrating from a country with a sub replacement birth rate, eventually the population will get so low that there's no one left, but that would take many decades if not centuries. For example bangladesh has a net migration rate of -0.2%/yr and a birthrate 5% below replacement rate. Even if we ignore population momentum and assume bangladesh's population will immediately start falling, if they keep their current birth rate and migration rate it will take about 250 years for the population to halve, at which point it will still be about the same number of people that Germany has today.
My family uses ours daily and they're fully integrated into our routines. They're our alarm clocks that wake us, and are how we check the weather to decide how to get dressed in the morning. I ask them to turn on the lights in the morning, and to turn them off at night. Alexa locks my front door and closes my garage before bed. In the kitchen, every time we cook, we ask Alexa to preheat the oven or air fryer, and ask her to set the timers for whatever we're cooking.
RIG Hughes' "Structure and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics" substantially clarified several points for me but I also studied it as a pretty mature student.

I sympathize. It is probably the most difficult ecosystem to get out of. Nextcloud was one of the most important pieces of software for some I know who got off of Apple. You can setup your own private cloud or use a community server you trust to replace pretty much everything on Icloud: Files, photos, music, notes, tasks, contacts, calendar, passwords, bookmarks, facetime, and many more. Migrate everything there, and then you can switch to any operating systems you want.

An exchange facilitates trades between two parties and should not hold client assets at all, not even custodial basis.

A clearing house settles trades between two counter parts often acting as counterpart to both sides of the trade for a nominal fee. Some clearing houses also hold performance bonds (think of margin on futures).

For instance, NYSE uses National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) which is a subsidary of the Depositary Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC). DTCC is a private company owned by many banks and brokers.
Caching db queries and media assets already got a big boost a decade ago going from spinning rust to ssd to even faster NVME.

Optimizing DB queries on spinning rust was an exciting experience though. Chasing milliseconds with caching and warming caches up still brings back good memories :)

Scale and architecture makes new designs much easier. 1Mb of code... A 100Mb database and 1Gb of media assets is becoming a relic like "big iron". Blank slate canvases should skip a lot of it.

Very few actors can convincingly play someone very different from themselves and we tend to lionize those that can. Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Johnny Depp. It appears to me that most actors go to school to learn trope behaviors so they can become working actors that churn out mass market performances.

I think the point of the GP is that it inserts NO-BREAK SPACE instead of a NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE. If that's the case, it's a bug.
From what I can tell on the map, it indeed seems quite a heavy long tail, with what was surprising to me, particularly heavy emissions from midsized industrial sites.

The top 50 emitters make up about 4% of the total, which is a lot, but perhaps not as much as you might think. They largely seem to consist of oil and gas fields.

I would've expected the large cities, including the smaller companies without individual mentions within to form the bulk of emissions. However, you see things like megacities like London with only 4.4Mt of co2 emissions, while there's tons of random cement factories around with 1Mt of co2 emissions. Power plants also make up less of the emissions than I expected, except for those in China, which seem less efficient than those in the west (except you DRAX and Belchatow)

It looks like if we found ways to significantly reduce emissions of: oil/gas fields, cement plants, steel plant, coal mines, airports and Chinese power plants, that'd make a huge impact.

Then you have a useful cache sitting there unused unless at peak time - why? Just enable it always. This makes no sense.
Nike Launches .SWOOSH, a New Digital Community and Experience
Was it ever the main storyline?

Clean energy isn't sexy compared to the low rumble of a gas-powered V8. Heck, even "safe" cars aren't sexy. "My car has the highest NHTSA rating, m'lady!"

But fast cars are sexy, and so are high-tech self-driving cars. So of course that's the storyline used to build hype. The promise of FSD is an acceptable "noble lie" to drive adoption of green tech.
Wow this is well hidden. Thanks for the tip!

Could you elaborate on what exactly is the "protocol risk" in DEX?
There's plenty of would-do-it-again testimonials from a hospital bed caused by a vaccine injury/side effect. There's a famous Mark Twain quote that comes to mind.
I wrote that cause I'm one of them, as described on the site as well. I'm in plenty of pet owner groups and the general consensus is that we're all crazy for our pets and probably a little crazy in general, ya. Otherwise you wouldn't spend your time and money on sending your pets images on virtual adventures. And again, I am totally one of them, I spent money and a lot of time on making up adventures for my goat. It's fun being a little crazy ;) People get offended about everything nowadays, I just let them.
The entire point of a cryptocurrency is to be a decentralized electronic currency.

Centralized exchanges exist to handle the problems with decentralized electronic currency.

If there was a good way to decentralize a centralized exchange, that solution would just be part of the decentralized currency and the exchange wouldn't need to exist.
For me re-reading some book twice/thrice or reading multiple book/courses on same topic make it click. Sometime I think it click but my understanding is totally wrong, talking to people and solving problem help me find the gap.
> My personal goal is at least 100 applications before seriously considering pivoting to something else.

I don't think I have especially cool resume or anything, nor do I have extremely many years in the industry as well, but I'd never consider applying for 100 different companies. I don't even know deeply about 100 companies I think, which is something I learn about a company before even considering applying to it.

I think I've applied to about 5 different full-time positions over the years and I have been in about 10 full-time positions in the same time, 5 of those applied to and the others was companies "applying" to me instead. Then bunch of consulting and freelancing gigs in-between.
Back when there was a lot of push back against a certain CEO redditors didn't like, that CEO noted that the ratio of commenters:viewers was like 1:1000. I personally know many people who created reddit accounts only because they were forced to by the app, but still have never posted a comment or even upvoted something (intentionally).
There's nothing you can invent which can be beyond government control. If government cares to control something, it will.

Inter-generational reparations exist explicitly in two of the six examples in that article.

Japanese interns that didn't collect their payment from the US left it up to their heirs to collect it, so I'll even add that as a technicality of inter-generational reparations.

Also I'm rather sure Israel is still getting payments for what happened in the 1940s... But I could be wrong there.

Inter-generational reparations are indeed rare if you don't look very hard for examples of it happening.
It’s not enough to do that. There is something more specific required: a specific version of iOS, a specific language, a particular phone, some setting, something in the search/url history etc.

But it clearly doesn’t reproduce across all devices/versions/settings with iOS Safari. Better repro steps needed.

Most older religions held the "many paths" view, including Judaism. You don't get sky daddy until the Romans needed a new imperial state religion and started mixing personal cults with monotheist cults.
Oh crap, my bad, I thought Miguel did, thanks for Flask anyway.

Performance has been bad forever. Twitter has had forever to fix it. They haven't. By definition, the existing developers aren't smart enough to do it. The developer here is trying to throw smoke because he's embarrassed. He should be.
I find it helpful to think about blockchains as the next step in the fintech ladder. Imagine you want to represent ownership of a company, i.e. stock. You don't need electricity to do that. You can accept orders in person, record ownership in a book, issue paper certificates, etc. However, when the mainframe was invented, it became easier to track ownership electronically. Using electronic transactions also made it possible for many more people to trade and expanded the types of products offered, e.g. options became commonplace. Now, the blockchain has arrived. It does everything a mainframe at a large financial institution can do, but it opens up the platform so that more complicated transactions can happen and democratizes the platform so that anyone with a computer can write their own smart contract.

What we're seeing now is akin to the the dotcom boom / bust in the late 90s and early 2000s. A new technology has appeared on the scene which leads to two things:

1) People get ahead of themselves. In the late 90s, people could envision all the cool things the internet would unlock and tried to start businesses to realize the potential. Many of those business ideas would be viable today, but the tech wasn't there at the time leading to a lot of empty promises being sold. Today, people can envision how the blockchain will lead to the securitization of everything, but the tech isn't quite there to make the transition yet.

2) As with any optimism boom, there will always be crooks ready to separate a fool from their money.
Cryptocurrency is Pandora's Box and the last thing to escape it will be decentralization.

Everything you listed is the cost of decentralization and making sure a few powerful players can be held in check. Before someone chimes in and says things are still "centralized" in crypto, things are slowly progressing to decentralization. And even if it takes decades, some industries like payment processing are the ideal case for crypto (Pornhub only takes Bitcoin for payment).

Decentralization has a cost, but understanding if it will even work has a even bigger cost.
Good catch - thanks to both of you!

One aspect of "enlightenment" is to be free of these anxieties and emotions, not that they are gone, but that they are manageable within the context of the self and do not overwhelm.
That's the whole point, they just create $1m and give it out

We use ours daily. Primarily it's a kitchen timer and a way to add items to our grocery shopping list. We used to use it for music but now tend to stream to a tabletop system with better sound. If it dies or becomes unsupported, it won't be a major loss but it does add a bit of convenience to our lives.
By extension that should apply to startups too, no? And then children?

I had mine on Gemini, which I actually trust as the most reliable exchange. I don't expect them to run into trouble[0] as they've submitted to NY finance regulations and haven't dabbled in obvious scams like Tether.

However I'm taking them off today on principle. I bought-to-hold because I think the tech is cool and I like the 'emotion' of having an investment to motivate me to keep an eye on the space. But if I really think the tech is interesting at the protocol level and think it might find future application, I should embrace self-custody, which is the whole point.
Sometimes the tech screens have been frustrating enough to just abandon the effort and save everyone some time.
Apple always wanted to get into ads business, but the contenders were too strong and Apple doesn't have an edge for competition unlike Google Search, Amazon Marketplace, Facebook's user tracking etc... So instead of directly jumping into the business they decided to first level the ground with IDFA and ITP. The natural next step would be to monopolize user tracking data within the Apple ecosystem. I'm almost sure that this is "Manifest destiny" for Apple, but the question is "when".
It really feels like they buried the lede here, as almost all discussions about catastrophic backtracking seem to do. Here's the second-to-last paragraph:

> Alternatively you could switch to a regular expression engine that doesn’t exhibit this kind of behaviour. RE2 is an excellent library that uses a finite automata approach to avoid this type of catastrophic backtracking. Using this library on the same 32 character input reduces the running time from 12 minutes to basically instant. The downside being that RE2 doesn’t support all the functionality of the builtin re package.

Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (the flavor used by most engines, including Python's) _require_ this exponential worst-case behavior (using an implementation called backtracking). But the theory behind regex does not require this, and if you eliminate just a couple (infrequently used) features of PCRE, you can have a regex engine that runs in linear time (with respect to the size of the input string). See [2], this is by the authors of RE2. The features which are incompatible with this sort of implementation are:

1. Lookahead assertions.
2. Backreferences to matched groups.

If you don't know what these are, or you rarely ever use them, then you really have no business using this kind of regex engine. (And if you are using them, then I'd argue you're shoving a bit too much logic into a regex, but that's beside the point). Nonetheless, every popular programming language (except Go[1]) has included an exponential backtracking regex implementation in their standard library, and exposed the entire industry to this stupidity, all for a few backreferences and lookahead assertions.

What's especially crazy is this: it's easy for a regex engine to detect the use of these constructs, because it has to parse the regex anyway! So it's feasible for the engine to optimistically try to use an efficient implementation, and only fall back to using a backtracking implementation when you're actually using these features. This is what the Python re2 module[3] does, it uses RE2 by default and supports falling back to the backtracking implementation if necessary.

Instead, we're stuck reading the same postmortem every few years describing how "catastrophic backtracking" ruined another company/person's day, when the problem has been solved for decades, and language/library creators have just failed to include that solution.

[1]: Rob Pike invented, or at least popularized, the algorithm used by RE2. He was also involved in the creation of Go, as was Russ Cox[2].

Leaning on someone for emotional support unprompted is an imposition, just like relying on someone for financial support. Yes in some cases the imposition is welcome, and fosters closeness and interdependence, but in most cases it is better to be self-sufficient (emotionally and financially).

You'd surely apologize when asking even the closest friend for financial support, why not when asking (or worse, demanding) emotional support?

It's quite error prone, most golang code is if err != nil { return nil, err }

Now of course it's important to read the documentation, but a language with sum types (or exceptions) would have used a separate type to indicate an error condition plus useful information on that error.

Sort of? The risk profile is significantly different.
I've responded elsewhere but the big difference is that Apple has always operated this way while FB and Google have changed their positions. Since they have had prior data breaches, it's not difficult for a malicious actor to use old data combined with new data to restore data models. The only situation where this wouldn't apply would be for users whose accounts were created after the policy changes.
Looks like I have DDG configured as my default.
Need to add a column with the IPO valuation to answer this properly. I'm guessing when you add that column all of these were massive successes except WeWork which went public via SPAC and their IPO imploded.
This is the important point I think. Version of Safari is tied to version of OS.
I clearly remember growing up in the 1980's and later and hearing about mass redundancies happening during a bad economy.

It was newsworthy because of the potential devastation these events would have had on an area; as in some people may never be employed _ever again_.

It's why Ireland gave so many tax breaks to Apple; they employed thousands from one city. Layoffs would have made an already bad situation far worse.
