The goal in the eyes of the layman is to produce a stable fusion reaction that outputs more than input.

While this is great progress, I feel that it's important to have the full picture. There's a lot of "fusion reaction breakthrough fatigue" stemming from the misunderstanding that fusion power isn't a technology that requires a singular breakthrough.

There are many breakthroughs required to get to fusion powered energy, and this is an important one (worth celebrating) on a long road ahead.
Ignoring Facebook as the example since nobody who cares remotely about tracking is using Facebook.

Then [company] lose marketshare to those who don't care about anything outside of the App Store, and when media outlets and social networks pick up on how [company] app on this third party store tracks so much more information than it used to, even more people will uninstall. It's what we've seen on Android for years, there is a huge reputation factor when it comes to third party app stores. That reputation factor is the reason why F-Droid is the major choice outside of the Play Store.

There is incentive here for app developers to continue to provide solid services. Just not Facebook, as their primary goal is tracking.

Yah I just looked today..

Thanks. I'll take a look at this. Always looking for more Excel magic.
They have talked about drywall in a previous post.
Two words: ad blocker.

Comments advocating FOR the prison that is the App Store are so unbelievable I can't believe they're anything but astroturfing.
That is more because payment processing in general has come a long way. Buying mac or Windows software from a developer's site using Stripe or even Apple Pay or similar doesn't fucking suck much more than using the App Store.
3rd party stores on Android are disadvantaged in some ways, e.g. no automati app updates. That makes things quite annoying for the user.
Or maybe he expected Twitter to actually make money, or at least not lose money.

And this could still be true.

People here act like he bought Twitter and then deleted the website. This isn't the case.

Did he overpay, yes, but its still a business that is worth something.

Apple plans to support sideloading and third-party app stores by 2024
This is relying on Apple to act as a regulator of Facebook. That's not Apple's job, and they do a bad job of it. That's the job of the government, which is actually (ostensibly (unlike Apple)) representing the people.

The fact that Facebook can do any spying on you at all (because it can still track you, on your current Apple device, right now) is because government regulators are dropping the ball. It's not Apple's responsibility, it's not something they're good at, and it's not something that they should be doing.
No idea I never saw any medical bill, I just pay my 100€ a month. I also pay about 50% income tax and 21% on just about anything I buy.
As someone who knows nothing about how they operate it would greatly surprise me if they didn’t obfuscate the time these announcements are made. Otherwise what’s the point of not saying the name of the company if you announce at the same time? So probably just a coincidence (I hope).
> Over 99% of humans can walk.

Clearly not, even before considering particular disability; average age of children first walking is over a year, and the number of children under 1 is well over 1% of world population.

More relevant to the discussion, though, in the US, 13.7% of adults have a mobility disability with serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. [0]

The Meta Oversight Board Has Some Genuinely Smart Suggestions
I have a couple:

1.-When i was like 14 i went to a school where they teach you how to use a computer, i picked up everything really fast and found out that they recorded student payments in a csv file, the file was in a shared folder in a windows 95 machine, editing the csv to add my name and amount paid was really exciting.

2.-There was a series of flash animations named HuevoCartoon you could see them in their website but if you saved the swf it would jump to the end so i used HIEW to open the swf and if i recall correctly it had a script that checked if you had the swf open in a browser and if the url in the address bar was a specific one, well so what i did is 090 the whole instruction and i could play it offline, i remember sharing them with my friends at school, eventually those guys decided to do that check every frame so i wrote a tool in C to look for it and 090 the instructions.

3.-One day i did not have too much to do at work and i was talking with a friend and he explained how bored he was with his job, what he did then, it was take a set of 3 pdf files and create an xml with the file names and put them in a zip file with a name structure like john_doe_12345678_xrftv and upload the file to a server , well i told him to install python and i wrote a script that would automate all that, it took like 5 minutes to generate the xml and the zip file for like 20,000 sets, so he spend almost all the time playing battlefield 3 and on Friday he would upload a little bit more than his boss was expecting, it was a contract for 6 months, he finished his job a couple of weeks ahead and got a bonus and a job offer, he is still working for that company and is a really good Python coder, he decided to learn after that experience.

At some point in the near future we are all going to be in the same shoe as GP's mother: confronted by tech we simply no longer understand. Even the latest generation is merely fluent in using these devices. The subset that will keep up will be even smaller than today, imo. Almost all others will choose the safe options, specially when our lives are even more critically intertwined with our devices.

Even today it is not ok to be careless with what you put on your machine, but in a couple of decades, it could be a true disaster, specially if public services are fully tied to your digital identity. You would not want your digital self to be entertaining any random* program as guest.

* effectively random - see first point

It proves that net positive fusion is achievable here with known physics and technology (outside bombs which are useless).

We had never done that before.

This will probably unlock more funding. In the end a different approach is probably more likely to lead to a power plant unless truly gigantic advancements in laser efficiency can be achieved.

Thanks for your reply! I get that same crypto spam, too. I'm now getting way more spam than legitimate customer DMs, so if it keeps up, I'll probably close my DMs and link to my company contact form.
It depends on the country. Different languages could be a problem, but If both countries have an agreement, is basically painless. The healthcare system in the country that provided the service will bill directly to the healthcare system where the patient has the citizenship.

In some cases tourists are required to pay a small fee for minor interventions or treatments, and the major ones are covered.

In a third group the patient will be billed in advance and then can pass the bill to his/her own healthcare system to recover the money.
You're just saying that the company collects economic rent from the worker for the privilege of accessing the "framework", in different words.

Venus is also pretty cozy if you're willing to bring a blimp. At 52 kilometers, the temperature is 27 C and pressure is about half of Earth sea level. If it weren't for the sulfuric acid clouds, you could sit on a platform outside in just your shorts and an oxygen mask. Not many other places in the solar system can offer that!
Doing so would price most individuals out of owning a domain, unless you tried to have separate pricing for individuals (which is messy).
Well, would anything of value be lost? Like, why don’t just sell custom built PCs? Then developers can actually develop against a few common APIs, no more exclusives, etc..
Because cryptography.

It's impossible to brute-force "decrypt" this message, you need to know it before hand.

More technically: you need to generate a pre-image of the sha-256 hash.

instead of saying something you think is ridiculous and then accusing others of misunderstanding you, why not just say what you actually mean?
What I'm worried about is if the next time we open WhatsApp we see a splash message that says "Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp are moving to the Meta Store! Please restart your phone and follow these easy steps to continue using these apps." App developers have a lot more influence on mobile devices than they do on desktop OSes. This change would shift even more power to those large developers.

You can say a lot of negative things about Apple, but their incentives lined up with the end users more often than companies like Meta and Google.

That was only true after Apple adjusted their rules to expand Netflix's deal (allowing external processors in certain situations) to the rest of the store. There was a time when it was an exclusive, under-the-table deal with Netflix. It's not hard to believe when you hear about the private entitlements notable developers like Uber and Google get.
Wouldn’t it be likely that his wife or a close friend has the private key?
When you run signature verification on that text with that signature and that address, it checks out. It wouldn't otherwise.
The text links the two.
Let's say that the nation of Lalaland is has a state-owned company whose product is a social network that's popular among Americans. Lalaland decides that one particular candidate in the next US election is beneficial to their country's trade/security/etc. The social network strategically shows "go out and vote" content to the demographics most likely to vote for the candidate they would like in office.

Is this ok? Were any of those people on the social network "stupid" if they were more likely to vote after seeing targeted content?
Looks like it runs just fine under Proton, at least: https://www.protondb.com/app/975370
I know next to nothing about the internals of bitcoin, but based on a high-level understanding of public key cryptography:

- 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 is the wallet address but can also be thought of as a public key. The owner of the wallet also has a private key corresponding to that public key.

- HM7vpPSUbNsfDHRX6gv8xx...[etc] is a cryptographic signature generated by signing an arbitrary message using a private key. To generate the signature, you need the plain text of the message, and a private key. To "verify" the signature (i.e., confirm that it was generated by the private key you expect), you only need the message and the public key (or the wallet address, in this case).

- Shkreli claims (and it has indeed been confirmed) that the signature he posted is valid for the message and the wallet address. In other words, someone in possession of the private key for the wallet in question, has signed the message given using that private key.

What I don't understand is where the signature came from -- I do see a Jan 2009 transaction involving that address on various blockchain explorers, but that particular signature is nowhere to be found. This could absolutely just be me not understanding how all of this works, but in order for this to be "really big news" I think you'd have to show proof that the signature given was posted with the transaction back in 2009. Otherwise, it just means that Hal Finney's wallet is compromised and someone has been signing random messages with it.
I'd imagine some of the energy and degenerate matter consisting of neutrons would convert to protons and electrons, and nucleosynthesis would take place to form elements.

¬ is shift+` on the most common UK keyboard layout, but yeah, it would probably need to be popular in America.
If you did that, you would effectively ban domain name ownership from everybody who does not make a lot of money from their domain. Is commercial activity the only thing which should have domain names?
In addition to what DCKing said, you can effectively rate-limit password attempts on encrypted data by deriving the key using a cryptographic hashing function such as bcrypt with a high amount of iterations.
Fossil's perspective is deleting/altering and tampering with history is a terrible idea. Some code shops have legal or policy mandates that disallow them from altering history anyway. My employer is such a place. Yes we have a few 'typo' commits that get through, but whatever. In practice it's a non-issue, since Fossil is just a sqlite DB, you can do what amounts to a select * from commits where 'typo' not in commit_msg, and never see them, without doing anything in the second paragraph, which shows you how to do all of this if you are bound and determined.

Regardless, if you REALLY want to delete and/or hide history, one can do this in Fossil as well, it's a touch more annoying in Fossil compared to git, but it's not difficult or anything, you can do it all from the CLI. [This thread](https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/333117081652bf3db6dc6...) shows hiding branches and commits and [this stackexchange](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42832992/shun-a-whole-co...) handles deleting data from the repo.
Except alcohol already has a delivery mechanism that's probably the healthiest option, whereas smoking to get nicotine is inherently anti-social and harms others with secondhand smoke. Anyone in NZ who wants to be addicted to nicotine can still dose using a vape, which doesn't have the same downsides for others.

It might be more comparable if NZ were banning some more dangerous way of getting drunk that also gave bystanders cancer.
Well of course you need a computer to run the IDE. Xcode only runs on Macs. It is possible to develop and sign code without Xcode if you have access to a different sort of computer, but that is a level of masochism unrelated to productivity. (As opposed to Xcode which is a level of masochism related to productivity.)

Macs have a long shelf life, and ones capable of running current Xcode are thrown to the recycler, I assume you could nab one for minimal coin too. They'll be slower, like 1/3 the speed to build compared to new machines, but apps don't take long to build. Most of your time is "sitting and staring" followed by "typing". Neither of which is appreciably impacted by using an old machine.

I went from an 8 year old Mini to a new M1 when they came out. A world of difference! Buttery smooth window drags, gorgeous scrolling. But I don't really program apps any faster. Sure, I have a few seconds now and then on a build, but it doesn't add up to much. Then I switched up to a Studio with a brain the size of a planet… no real change for app programming.

Don't let lack of a computer be a problem. Grab an old mini and do your thing.
And from the above:

Yep. I'm fine with my parents never venturing beyond the bounds of the app store, but if I want to run some dev tools on the iPad that don't fit into the app store model I should be able to choose an option where I can install signed software.

I think this sort of relief valve will also breed interesting system utilities and user interface ideas for Apple's mobile OSes, provided that software using private APIs can still pass the signing process. Maybe they could have avoided some of the Stage Manager fiasco if they had years of third party experimentation to observe on their own platforms.
I know this will probably get downvoted into oblivion, but still, I can't be the only one... I've tried the graphically updated DF, and honestly it doesn't feel like much of an improvement, it just feels like DF with a graphics pack and not an impressive one. Like yeah, it's good that there's mouse support and clickable menus, but they feel like they were an afterthought, like they're not yet finished.

I don't know, maybe it's my fault for expecting too much from it, but I was legit hoping for a UI and UX experience equivalent or at least close to that of RimWorld or Amazing Cultivation Simulator.

I hope that It'll improve as time passes or that the community will develop something amazing.
Speaking of which: <Shift>-<Alt>-<Shift> for turbo.
Im not tying to shift blame, I’m pointing out that this is much less simple than the original poster described. It’s no so simple as just walking more and taking the time to eat whole food precisely because there is a broader system designed to keep people fat consumers that should be seriously and skeptically examined for dodging their influences on society. We know cigarette kept dodging their involvement in getting kids addicted early. We know Perdue was lying about how their opioids worked to guarantee addiction cycles. We know the original nutrition guidelines were originally developed by the agriculture department and that several agribusinesses had their thumbs on the scale to skew what was told to the entire nation on how to eat well.

Are those kids who were exposed to cigarettes personally responsible? How about those folks who are addicted to opioids now? And of course all those Americans at the time, they just should’ve decided against following official nutrition guidelines by their government (assuming they can afford to! Poor kids were fed according to these guidelines in school lunches…)

And that’s just the stuff we know about!
I hope they can handle this unlike Notch (Minecraft) - reckoned becoming a billionaire overnight ruined his life.
> despite the re-election being a clear sign that the will of the people is that they want a government led by (or at least informed by) experts who know what they’re doing.

I would heavily challenge this just because the opposition is utterly incompetent in Victoria. I am as against the lockdowns as they come and think they border on criminal as an action taken by the state against citizens. A disgusting violation of human rights I never thought I would see in Australia in my lifetime and honestly changed permanently how I viewed the moral compasses of my fellow citizens.

However they were done and now I have to vote based on what is going forward and the policies put forward by the liberals in Victoria are, frankly, moronic. Matthew Guy is a buffoon who has no place in leading the party.

So I gritted my teeth and voted Labor. But using that as an endorsement of lockdowns or Victoria covid policy is absurd. I know many who feel the same as me and acted similarly.
> However, the capital costs & construction time for Fusion Energy should theoretically be much lower than nuclear reactors.

Maybe then current Gen3+ reactors.

But there is no way they will win economically against GenIV Fission reactors. That are already solving most of the issues with Gen3+ reactors.

They already are much smaller, and therefore much lower CapX. Fuel cost are even cheaper because of better utilization of the fuel. Modern plants operating cost are also less because they are even more automated and need to be refueled less.

There is no practical way fusion can compete in my opinion.
Eating cannabis takes 10-30 minutes before you even feel it. With smoking, onset is almost immediate. The real difference is the dopamine reward that a smoker's brain releases.
You can build them without a developer account, but then you will have to re-sign your own apps every 7 day and can only have 4 such app on your phone at a time.

This just feels like another entry in a long list of supposed proofs of who Satoshi is, which is missing detail (almost certainly by design) and which could have many other plausible explanations. The most obvious of which is that a private key leaked.
Yes, it matters.

Many Postgres features aren't supported on Redshift (set returning functions, indexes, ...) and many tools that work just fine with Postgres error out because Redshift does things differently or doesn't support features that Postgres does.

Environmental determinism hardly stood the test of time, as far as theories go.
I gotta agree, poor grammar didn't stand out as a red flag to me. I've been through interview loops with like like 80% of the written and verbal correspondence was with people who had English as a second language and they frequently made similar grammatical mistakes. I'm pretty sure two of those companies were legitimately Intel and Amazon.

I'm also surrounded by Asian immigrants in the US and its pretty common to take an English name (sometimes first and last) if your name is so full of non-ASCII characters that American's can't pronounce.
