Are you saying that the principle role envisaged for cryptocurrencies is as some fringe-level scam-the-vulnerable?

Because my understanding was that it was initially positioned as a total replacement for fiat currencies. From the abstract to Satoshi's initial white paper (2008):

A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network.

That latter doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.
Sounds like a pretty sorry state of things and not how I like to live. I bet you trust a lot of aspects of society though, such as every piece of food you buy at a grocery store and in a restaurant, every prescription and over the counter medicine you consume, and every bridge you drive over.
Newspapers sell legitimacy and scammers can buy it. SBX is a pretty significant example of the eroding value and public perception of media
Swedish and Norwegian languages also/still use "barn" for "child".
Tor hosts a directory service, a (de)centralized repository of rendezvous nodes from which the Onion Service (server) can be reached, thus the IP address is not lost, but since the circuit is rebuilt every 10 minutes or so, the connection will probably get cut every now and then.

I'm not sure if this really works, but if it's a short message and you periodically check the server if there's a reply and the service responds with short reply, the Tor cell padding (to 500 bytes IIRC) would make it harder to observe metadata about when communication takes place. This all of course goes out the window if it's a large packet that requires multiple cells, or if it's the client that just POSTs the outgoing messages to the server over an established connection.

Botswana. If you want to count the island nations, Cape Verde, Seychelles as well too.
In other countries it was applied to their majorities (who could be minorities in the US). The war on drugs was not a U.S.-only thing. It was worldwide. Because it was a losing battle (products easier to grow manufacture AND transport, they’ve pretty much all realized it’s a losing battle —with some major exceptions like Japan and Singapore who still take drugs seriously and will incarcerate for small amounts.
Nonsense, in countries with higher gender equality women naturally flow to careers more in line with their strengths, tech is not one of them. Men and women are not equal.

And that ticket will be forever ignored. On the other hand, if there’s a TODO in the code, someone might fix it the next time they’re editing that part of the code.
yeah, if putting it out there doesn't work, make a custom guitar from components, or buy it from a custom maker like Ed Roman.
This goes back to the previous comment. IRC users and other IM users are in different universes now. Stuff that is considered core functionality like push notifications, embedded images and videos is probably never going to work in IRC.
Because it means less eyeballs on the front page, hence less ad revenue
In many places there are. But they aren’t in the best places or where someone thinks they deserve to live. I’m not saying we don’t need to build more, but people need to come to grips with what they can afford and what that means for their location.
Announcing The Monumental Goal of Developing the Most Broadly Used Web3 Social Messaging Platform Successfully.

United Kingdom, Nov 20, 2022 -- SUPACharge, a web3 wallet social messaging app will soon be launching its app’s beta test launch on Dec 22, 2022. Upon release, only whitelisted users will gain access to the app alongside the reserved benefits for successful applicants. The social finance (SocialFi) app utilizes users’ wallet addresses to create brand-new ways for users to connect with one another, all whilst being a comprehensive aggregation app that allows users to perform activities already familiar in the web3 space. Whitelist spots are still open.

SUPACharge is to launch on the Ethereum and Polygon (MATIC) chains with plans to expand to Solana and other chains in Q2 of next year.

Being a long-time web3 enthusiast, Co-founder, CEO and CTO of SUPACharge, Dr Brian Ng said, “The two biggest challenges the web3 space has faced all these years relate to the security risks and the fragmentation of communities which has hurt and stunt the growth within the industry. We believe with the launch of SUPACharge we are tackling these issues head-on and helping web3 users of all knowledge levels.”

The app at beta test launch already has a multitude of features, below are a few of them:

-Wallet-to-wallet messaging and token-gated messaging - Users chat privately using their pre-existing wallet addresses. Users’ crypto & NFTs will be automatically verified and allowed to be onboarded into exclusive asset-based chat groups and forums.
- Automatic project channel creation and moderation rights - All web3 projects built on supported chains, will have their exclusive and public chat groups automatically generated alongside the moderation rights. The chat group creation process does not rely on the project creator.
- Multi-chain portfolio tracking and transaction handling - Users can view and track and receive notifications about other user portfolios from their profiles. Multi-chain transactions of assets are also available.
- A web3-focused news section - Designed with the web3 user in mind, it includes familiar features alongside some which aren’t like highlighting new and trending projects and influencers.
- Content creator hub - Creators are the backbone of any social app, it’s why the app features creator-specific chat groups/forums, pages (with the ability to sell products) and token functionality.

To view the list of current and upcoming features, please refer to the images attached or visit our website.

About SUPACharge IO Ltd.: SUPACharge is a social app company based in London, UK. Founded in June 2022, SUPACharge is a sister company of SUPA Foundation a GameFi company that initially launched on the Fantom chain and has since expanded onto the other chains for their upcoming trading card game “Internal Conflict”.
You’re absolutely fooling yourself - a ticket is a unit of work. Trying to hide tech debt by keeping it out of the project management system is not beneficial.
That has something to do with fact that South Africa was not bombed into oblivion, but had actually working economy on the end of the apartheid. Additionally there might be no Marshall Plan for African countries, but there is constant financial aid to African countries since end of WW2.

Edit: I have completely forget that whole Eastern Block was not allowed to accept Marshall Plan from political reasons and help from Soviets was not really there.
And I would like to expand on this answer. Most of the time I noticed, that it doesn’t even matter what I choose because each option has pros and cons and most of the time they have equal weight (otherwise it would be easy to choose). So in the end, I‘m happy regardless what I choose. The example with the food fits quite well here too.
Is this part of the new intellectual movement where concussed kickboxers are regarded as thought leaders? Only tools talk like that.
Old houses are larger even when smaller - often because they have these things called “walls” and “doors” that make “rooms” out of open concept spaces.

I do get amused about how everyone hates cube farms but loves open concept.
After enough time passes, all of the code I write becomes embarrassing. I think it's because I'm constantly improving, and all of my historical code was written by a me that wasn't as good as I am now.

The code I write now will eventually be code I'm embarrassed by as well.

This is true for most people, I think, so I don't let it bother me. The effect is a sign of growth.

> And yes, I'm saying that if it takes a couple years less to train a doctor - by letting them go directly to medical school after high school and doing the prereq coursework there over maybe 5.5-6 years instead of the current 4 - that will lead to lower healthcare costs. Not sure why that's so controversial of a statement. It's simple supply and demand.

It's "controversial" because you are conflating two issues.

Shortening the path will at most lead to a very minor supply increase at the time it is implemented; the gains don't compound. Without increasing the total number of admission spots (or more critically, residency slots), the overall supply will not be meaningfully increased.

Removing a prerequisite (bachelor's degree; which I point out in another comment is not actually required at many schools) is generally unrelated to the supply of US physicians and this is why you're getting pushback.

What makes you say that? Everything I've seen says AlphaZero beat SF8 easily: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaZero#Chess_2
True, but in a relatively minor or even positive way. I similarly don’t get upset when someone brews coffee or tea next to me, even though I actually can’t be that close due to a medicinal interaction. I sometimes have to leave the room, but that’s not their fault.

Weed makes driving more dangerous, lowers motivation and focus, etc. You want to do that to unwind, fine. But do it at home or in a designated smoking area I can know to avoid.
Your team should be grooming and prioritizing the backlog. If the tech debt exists but the business doesn’t value working on it, then yes it won’t get worked. But it also wouldn’t ever get done as some stray //TODO either.
> if the market for smaller EV cars were an actual profitable opportunity

I've been arguing that Musk's motive is profit, not saving the Earth.

If he truly believed the Earth's environment was in danger, and saving it was his life's goal, then I don't think the question of "profitable opportunity" would stand in his way.

I'm not interested in evaluating Musk as a businessperson. I'm interested in his self-promoted reputation as a "humanitarian".

Making EVs is not inherently a humanitarian act. The other auto companies are doing it now too, and nobody ever thought they were trying to save the Earth. There's obviously a lot of money to be made, and Musk has made it. As I see it, he's really good at making wealthy people feel good about themselves.
Brokers like Robinhood would love to not have to rely on a third-party market-maker, because it can vertically integrate. Citadel had the years of its life during the bull run in great part to RH.

Market making can be neutral, it's not a big conflict of interest. What is a conflict of interest is placing bets in the market with what can be information of traders on the FTX platform - i.e. people buying solana and Alameda leveraging that direction on the information - or people leveraging on FTX and Alameda making liquidating plays.
Huh? Where do you live that those methods are no longer viable? And unacceptable?
I'm single, with 3 bedrooms. That's 2 bedrooms and a living room that I don't use except to accumulate junk that I also don't use.
I think having custom fonts disqualify you from the intent of this (avoiding extra bloat that has (near) zero impact on the content/value of the page).
The requirements to be an accredited investor changed recently. It’s possible to be an accredited investor because of passing certain tests that are basically required for lots of people who work in finance anyway.

The wealth requirements are, roughly, $200k personal income, $300k joint, or $1m net worth. The numbers look big but I think they aren’t really that high. The numbers are nominal and haven’t changed in a long time so the bar has been lowering over time. $200k income used to be a much higher bar (both in general due to inflation and on this site as income for programmers has gone up a lot in the last 20 years). If the $1m includes real estate wealth then the requirement is basically to be old and to have had a high-but-not-crazy income and bought a house somewhere where prices have gone up a lot.

Every now and then there will be some news story about some unfortunate dentist who got tricked into investing into some terrible scheme or who made some other poor decisions (e.g. ‘I wanted maximum safety so I figured I’d buy bonds and I put all my money into buying bonds in this Turkish real estate developer that paid 15% that I found from a Facebook ad and now they’ve gone bust and I’ve lost all my money’) which they were only able to do due to their upper-middle-class income/wealth qualifying them as an accredited investor. So I think the rules aren’t particularly fit for purpose. Having a test is maybe better. Having an annoying process where a bunch of government officials tell you that you’ll lose all your money is a funny idea but presumably scammers are much better at learning how to walk people through that sort of thing than the government is at making it do what is intended. Having some process which takes a while might help a bit but maybe is too annoying.

I think it’s also extremely false that getting rid of accredited investors gets rid of the class system that currently exists. There will still be ISDAs and relationships and so on. Even if you’re an accredited investor, you’re not going to get the opportunity to participate as an angel investor in all the best companies and you can’t phone up Goldman and get them to construct some new derivative for you to buy, so I think there’s a lot of adverse selection for someone who becomes an accredited investor but doesn’t have much to invest or many good connections.

My (poor) understanding is that this is also true in crypto in that the better deals will generally be available to early investors (ie some big fund, not you) who can then dump their positions on everyone else (ie you) after some relatively short lockout.

Finally, I don’t think being a ‘comp sci PhD who really studied crypto in-depth’ is actually a good example of a way to tell if someone is fit to invest in something. The qualifications are generally about understanding the financial product rather than understanding the underlying ‘business’.
What’s your evidence that any of them received kickbacks? Why’s your default assumption guilty until proven innocent?

I've never heard anyone claim it blocks the ability to learn - if anything it's the opposite. Many people like how it shows you APIs you weren't aware of.

AI doesn't even attempt that. All our neural networks do is spit out the final result of whatever it's doing. If we want the "reasoning" for it we have to build different methods of doing that. It's an active field of research but much slower going than improving our AI's directly.
>> This is a good way to loose valuable knowledge.

> It really isn't.

Tickets, internal emails etc are exactly the kind of things that tend to get lost when codebase is sold, sublicensed or open-sourced.

If the codebase contains underwater cliffs, then those remarks are best kept as close to code as possible so that every time someone works with a particular class or function, they have right before their eyes that "this function will slow to a crawl when you have more than 32 767 files concurrently open". It's very expensive to find out such limitations post-fact.

You may very well call such limitations "hacked-together code", but if there has so far never been the need to have more than 10 files concurrently open (but there is a slim chance that such need may arise one day), then implementing support for infinite number of concurrently open files is once again just a waste of resources.

I see no reason why ticket system should be cluttered with hypotheticals like this.
I disagree with the title. And based on what I say I obviously didn't read the actual article.
You can ask the mods, but the answer is probably something boring like:

fake quote> Some users flagged it, and pg does not have any special treatment here.

The mod may decide to remove the flag. In my opinion it's too vague, but I don't have any cryptocoins to worry about.
Reporters report, don't comment, so the correct word to use here is always journalists.
Thanks, this is basically combination of somewhat central servers plus nearly always online model. I need to think about it - on the first glance I am not 100% sure the role Tor plays in this model.

Is this described somewhere in more details? As I said, I clicked around but didn’t see any docs about this.
I see. Have to avoid the low quality comments and involvement in flamewars. The original comment was removed as well, in addition to the ones after and before the one linked. Understood.
It can generate the same code, but generally won't.
Maybe they meant the piece type is randomized, because each piece has a different movement rule. This would result in things like maybe 5 pawns and 3 rooks instead of the normal numbers.

Yes obviously we all know a Blockchain can't reach into the real world and put a banana in my hand... But the point is that what does Blockchain give anyone that a simple app (zelle, PayPal, bananas r us, etc) doesn't? I still need to trust the vendor.
The fact that you admit to being a bad judge of character in the past should give you pause to reflect on the possibility that you are still a bad judge of character today.

Why did you have a "neutral to positive" impression of a "childish ass and a narcissistic sociopathic inept moron"? Is it possible that you are just repeating whatever you hear from the media? And now they have decided that he should be hated?

Also, interesting that you mention Donald Trump because my opinion of Donald Trump has not changed over the past 15 years. I always thought he was a selfish conman. So is my judgment better than NBC who paid him millions and is it also better than the Clintons who went to his wedding?
I’ve found that having ‘tab groups’ (in whatever browser you fancy) has helped me to juggle around 20 different ‘interests’ at a time. Oh, it’s a Lisp sort of day? Hit the Lisp tab group and continue that weird session I started earlier in the year. Typography on my mind today? Go through and finish half of what’s in the typography tab group. It seems the same as bookmarks, but it’s just not. I used to just collect bookmarks, get overwhelmed, never read them. Tab groups are sort of ephemeral bookmarks, and I don’t have to worry about saving bookmarks in the correct folders. It more or less just sorts itself out if I open tabs inside the correct groups.
> They just engaged in run-of-the-mill journalism.

Click bait puff pieces/native ads intended to drive money into FTX. They're an accomplice.
I'm not criticizing you. It's just part of the difference in standard of living. In the US, only the rich can afford a domestic worker, because it would cost up-words of $200 a day. In South Africa it is a fraction of that cost even if you are paying above market rates.
One of the nice things about having a larger house is different rooms have different moods at different times of day and times of year. You’re not just in the same space every day. Some days a certain room just calls to you and time is well spent in it.

Yeah, the best any of them can say at this point is "we ignored publishing anything on him," and that was more likely due to sheer luck than responsible journalism.
Seems like not much has changed in 10 years...
Incredible.

So I noticed that they have Outlook 98 (presumably) on their desktop. It supports IMAP.

Do you think it can still fetch Gmail? Does it support IMAP/S?
No, it's imports from other files in my project. It's either using the import or the fact that I have another tab open.

There are definitely times where it produces a close approximation that's obviously just statistical, but there are other times where there's no question that it picked up something from a different source file that couldn't have possibly been in its training set.

I haven't yet decided if it's using imports or opened files in the editor, but it's definitely not just using the single file I have active.

kind of a gesellschaft vs gemeinschaft situation though
You singular? Probably not. You the household (of at least two earners)? That's the more likely scenario.

The point being, as we've moved to the two incomes per household standard the price of things driven by demand (e.g., housing) has also naturally increased.

In those 8 urban areas compensation is higher. It's not advance economics to understand that housing - especially when supply is limited* - is going to increase. And as a percentage of the entire population, these are outliers. We always have outliers.

All that said, the better question is: As a percentage of salaries, which areas are most the most expensive?

* There's a cost to NIMBY and these communities seem to be okay with that.

Hey, kind of. I'm just collecting benchmark results to create a global ranking (global as in spanning release generations), not benchmarking myself. I saw that the eco mode of the AMD processors saw some attention, and then in the 13000 reviews as well. https://www.computerbase.de/2022-10/intel-core-i9-13900k-i7-... would be one example.
It might depend a little on the fund but I think it’s probably right that conditional on a client investing a small amount of money, they are more likely a big pain to deal with. On the other hand I think startups often accept pretty tiny (eg 5-10k) angel investments. But maybe I’m wrong about that.
