Pretty much. Just looking at biggest titles, they are all designed to appeal to any skill level of play and "just" be fun PvP game

Games "designed for esports" are trying to push horse before the cart. Game needs to get the playerbase first, be interesting and competitive in the long run second and then you can scoop people on top, put them in funny named teams and make them duke out to the public you get from having a big playerbase
Bullshit. You don't get that rich committing crime while being too stupid to hide money.
The 100 Greatest Innovations of 2022
Yes, I do not hold assets in contracts which I have not personally verified.

Yes, I strongly recommend everyone do the same.

If it's a "yield vault" or an "LP pool" then you really truly should read every line of code and understand all the risks, because it is extremely likely that there is some catastrophic exploit, given the current near non-existent scaffolding regarding formal verification of smart contracts.
Hrmm. Seems you're right and my memory is way fuzzier than I thought. Raymond Chen also says 13 [0]. Maybe it was just my existential dread of one of the floppies having gone bad that makes me think it was more.

Would a so-called cbdc work? Get a bank account at the Fed that only gives you overnight rates (i.e. low but still higher than banks!), and only risk is sovereign risk.

Akin to the narrow banks proposals of a few years ago
Wow, I've been doing this for nearly 10 years with multiple banks and auto-mergjng the output into my accounts, as well as to update memberships of an organisation using membership fee transactions from those files.

It never occurred to me to think of offering it to others through a front end, or that there's a side income's worth of interest in that kind of bank PDF scraping.

A fun thing I discovered doing this was when my software reported some mismatch errors when I merged in a bank-generated PDF for a date range partly overlappong what I'd already loaded. Turns out the bank PDFs were missing a random subset of transactions over a large date range - as was the online banking transaction history! This went on for a few months until the bank fixed their systems.

I was just curious if I could improve our PHP-based site’s performance.
So I attached strace to an Apache process and followed the log of syscalls and counted milliseconds between them.
Sure enough, I discovered that 20 ms was being spent each time on a DNS lookup to a statsd metrics collector service over UDP (I remember being told that this was lightweight, since it was UDP). PHP didn’t cache DNS lookups and this was sometimes happening many times per request. I added a static entry in /etc/hosts and the overall latency improved by 30% across all endpoints.

Another hack:
I once was consulting for a client who was running Drupal and was going to launch their new site the next day, but suddenly it started crashing on some of the pages.
I found out that you can take a core dump of Apache and load it into gdb. Then if you run some gdb macros, you can see the PHP stack trace at the time the crash occurred.
Turns it it was some module (tokens?) they had recently enabled which was recursively calling into itself. Not sure why it didn’t hit some stack limit, though. We disabled the module, which fixed it and the client was super happy.
If I knew more about Drupal, I probably would have disabled modules in a form of binary search as a first troubleshooting step. But I did know a little about gdb, so that came in handy.
Based on some recent reading I've done, I don't believe the results of the Bell Curve were ever genuinely disproven, were they? The Gould book was more of a political and cultural critique, not so much of a factual one. I'd be curious to see good faith counter-evidence to the data in the Bell Curve though.

Disclaimer: I think research into IQ differences among populations in a multi-racial society is pointless, zero upside to it. Yes, data is data, but in this case we can make pretty good guesses about who's going to be most interested in it and why, unfortunately.
This question could not being answered with this model, because it is not complete, it is only part of world.

Complete model Smith model, with mostly free market. Exists range of meanings, how large could be government in economy, I think it should be less then 10%, other expert said numbers 10-30%.

So, if govt share is less than 10%, free market could just repair itself; also in this case, free market have plenty of resources, so will survive if govt will raise taxes (print is essentially special type of tax, because anyway, govt will got money much earlier than market).

If govt share is more than 30%, things are much worse, as any taxes raise will lead to markets fall.

What resource can Doreen go to at Google to get access to their accounts if Google’s security algorithm is requiring access to devices or authenticators they no longer have? I’m trying to be reasonable, but all I see is a tech company who enforces strong security practices with no exception handling. Great for Google and keeping costs down from an infosec and customer service perspective, but highly detrimental to those who lose what is very valuable to them (their emails and digital identity), and humans will lose valuable items (including devices, authenticators, and recovery codes) all the time.

I don’t expect for us to solve this here, and I’m sure my perspective will differ substantially from those affiliated with Google or tech professionals in general (who don’t fully internalize the layman’s experience). I do believe I’ve provided sufficient evidence this is a real problem, and it’s likely going to require federal statute or FTC guidance to require tech companies to recalibrate their customer service and infosec ops around access and identity.

Regardless, I appreciate the discourse on this topic.
The good thing about saying that something is "not inconceivable" is that then you don't have to provide any evidence for it.
You can stripe disks (raid0) in ZFS but you should not be using any hardware raid solution, motherboard or pcie card. Host bus adapters are preferred, anything with direct access to the disks.
On the off chance it helps, because I don't see anyone else mentioning it: could it be that your charging port is stuffed with lint? If you have a thin needle, try to poke inside and see how much material can you get out of the port.

Despite this being a common problem, it's not well recognized, and it's easy to forget about it too. I went through several charging cables and almost replaced my phone half a year ago, before I remembered - and sure enough, all my charging issues were caused by a layer of lint at the back of the port, that got compacted by the charging cable so well that it formed a flat "false wall". I forgot all about it, even though I've performed the exact same fix on other people's devices in the past.

Hope it helps; if not, I apologize for wasting your time.
Perhaps you think you're providing evidence of hard-hitting journalism, but it's the opposite. They are framing premeditated, intentional fraudulent activity as a series of mistakes and oversights.

It was substantially larger than I had thought it was -- whoopsie!

the funds that Alameda had spent were no longer easily available (and why is that, hmmm?) , so the company used FTX customer funds to make the payment -- didnt want to, just rearranging some furniture!
Except, of course, this upcoming Jan 2[0].

Yeah it's mighty annoying. It's even worse when they take some "pro" with "actual sport" experience and they start throwing jargon around, ye, good job talking about baseball or handegg to international viewership that don't have clue what those terms mean.
Why were they so obsessed with keeping alameda afloat? Was it because if it died there would be no market maker big enough for FTX to run smoothly?
OK. You should make it clearer that you're arguing for a weaker system of author's rights, not just making claims about the current system. I favor copyright reform but what you're suggesting would destroy the ability for artists to commercially exploit their work.
I haven't done any research lately, but the original "she will get what amounts to a life sentence" was predicated on her being found guilty on all charges, it did not assume any kind of consecutive sentence stacking that you see in newspaper articles. It was a legitimate analysis. I assume (as I said, I have not gone back to do the comparison) that she did not get convicted on all charges they started out with, hence the discrepancy.
Ye it would quickly devolve to some no-counter strats
For a careless user, or one who does not bother to learn about the risks, having one's account stolen is more of a danger. On the other hand, for a reasonably cautious user with a basic understanding of the risks involved, and whose life varies at all from predictable (affluent) norms, losing account access due to Google's protective measures is a bigger danger – and more of a hassle to guard against – because these protections are so easily triggered

ETA: I would assume this is an isolated incident of calling people at 3am until given more evidence to the contrary.

Being cognizant of other people's timezones/work schedules is an important part of remote work. If you call me at 3am, it'd better be urgent.
The rose parade is on the 2nd if the 1st is a sunday. That makes it at least an unofficial holiday. I recall generally getting an alternate day off for 'new years day' if the 1st was on a weekend.

Maybe somewhere with a different calendar entrenched might not care so much about Jan 1 though.
Italy has SPID. It’s a federated login system based on your fiscal code (every Italian has one). You can use it to log into any government service and potentially banks and such. If you do lose access to your 2FA (required, it’s your phone), you can:

- re-verify yourself with the provider, with a real ID

- get a new ID with another provider, which still points to the same fiscal code

As a global solution, it would be great to have a “real identity provider” that offers this but also allows me to log into services without giving them too much information.

Apple ID seems relatively good for this given that it lets me hide the address and change my name during registration.
uh, its going to be the 2nd in 2023

They could be threading a very fine needle for a reason no one knows. Limiting airdrop seems like a lose lose. If they did it for the government, then it is a lose. If they did it to improve privacy, for some reason, then if that gets out it could cause China to retaliate.

Will be interesting to see how this develops. I find it hard to understand why they did anything at all here.
I'm curious how you arrived at the conclusion she gets away "scot-free".
That kind of does seem to be what actually happened, though.
I think I'm like you. I'm usually the smartest guy in the room, a phenomenal problem solver and brainstormer, and a great engineer and lawyer. I'm currently doing great in a very easy and rewarding job I stumbled into, but it has a time limit. I tried stimulants years ago but it made me feel physically awful (jaw grinding, digestive problems, heart palpitations, exhaustion, etc.) and didn't actually help (I'd just get hyperfocused on distractions). Also tried guanfacine and had other negative reactions. I've actually been thinking of starting a business as a better match than a desk job before I saw all this ADHD founder talk. Reading these comments makes me feel so encouraged. Thank you.
Eh maybe cynical, but I would say you're right. There is a lot more nuance and detail to positioning yourself as a competitor to a company that already has huge market share. Sometimes having a small but important opinion is all you need, but sometimes you really have make a bet like your reference and really differentiate.
>> FTX is a brokerage not a bank. Furthermore, banks have strict regulations on the kinds of loans they are allowed to give. Also, bank accounts are secured by FDIC.

Also, banks have capital leverage ratios they need to abide by. FTX had no concept of leverage ratios or haircutting assets by liquidity.
Yeah where I work, we strongly encourage interactive rebase on solo feature branches.

In fact, even the hairiest long-lived branches can get cherry-picked apart into several "layers" of branches to get reviewed and merged piecemeal. It's really easy if you're starting from too many commits. It gets harder (not impossible) if individual commits commingle said layers.
Surely, guns also hurt predatory animals and historically that's why they were allowed? "Guns only hurt people" is a ridiculous urban bias.
Yeah then the viewer count will inevitably be a lot higher when Person A is on vs when Person B is on so there are disagreements about how much to get paid and what sponsors to take etc. I've never seen this really work on Twitch. People generally watch a specific channel for a specific person. If that person isn't on they watch a different streamer
By definition, the US is a First World country. It basically refers to NATO. The Second World was USSR and Communist states. The Third World was everyone else.

This makes no sense.
When I was in school, I would get in trouble for forgetting to turn in homework. Why didn't I turn it in? Because I would forget I had homework and that it was in my bag. Sometimes I would get in trouble for not doing homework. Why didn't I do it? Because I forgot it was due that day, or I forgot I had it at all. So I was given a book to write down all of my assignments, and when they were due, and check them off when I was done with them, and to review every day so I knew what I should turn in.

I continued to forget to turn in assignments. Why did I forget them? Because I forgot to check my book to see if I had any assignments to turn in, in addition to forgetting I had it and it was in my bag. I continued to get in trouble for forgetting to do assignments. Why did I forget them? Because I would forget to write them in my book, or I would forget to write down when they were due, or I'd forget to even check the book in the first place, or I would forget the book at home, or in the last class. Or I would forget my pen and not have anything to write in the book with and then forget what I was looking for a pen for by the time I got a new one.

Don't get me wrong. I still use books, post it notes and organizational tools to help me in my profession. Bug trackers are a god send for me. But so is the fact that Slack archives every discussion I have, and gmail never forgets anything no matter how much you wish it would. And that's important because I still often forget to write something in a todo list, or the bug tracker. I've trained myself to check 5-10 different sources of "tasks" before I consider something done because I don't remember where I put everything, and I never remember to put everything in one place. Even with all of that, there are still things I'll forget from time to time.

Do you remember old clip art CDs and galleries? They all used to have a clip art of a finger with a string tied around it. That's clip art for a "reminder". I never understood how that was supposed to work, because if I ever tied a string around my finger to remind me about something, I'd be lucky if I remembered the string was there at all, let alone what it was supposed to remind me about. Tools are often just one more thing to try and remember.
I've never gotten a counterfeit thumb drive off of the rack at Best Buy. I don't buy them online because of the possibility of getting counterfeits.
There is the Notary Public service for physical documents. I did a quick search a while ago out of curiosity, and there appears to be an eNotary service that uses X509 certs to notarize a digital document. I've never seen this used "in the wild", but if it is rooted in the traditional Notarization services, and is based on open standards, why wouldn't tech companies utilize this as a last resort identity service?

Something else I thought about is if someone could come up with a CA service that specializes in personal / client side certs. They could then indicate what fields they have verified (name, address, etc). Also an option to indicate if they have that information on file but not disclosed. And if someone wants a truly anonymous cert, have variable pricing for those. The cert would tell how much someone paid for it. That way services such as message boards could allow anonymous users but set a nominal threshold for certificate cost that they would accept -- high enough that it would limit duplicate spam accounts, but low enough that it would not be much of a burden for a typical user.
> I have the backup codes carefully preserved.... off site

Yeah f no. Most people just screenshot their backup codes and put it in a Google doc somewhere in plain text, at best. And at worst, they go "what the hell are these codes" and close the window.

Which, security-minded folks would know, is effectively equivalent to just writing passwords down in plain text.

Nobody thought to put even a tiny speck of product management into this system.

Maybe, since Google wants to be that important to people's lives, they should be force to have representatives, to whom one can go and have things sorted. Needs to check your id and then phones home (...) to get your account unlocked.
I think people are just split up over more games now. Every few years you get a LoL, a PUBG or a Minecraft where it seems like the whole world is playing at once. Then a good chunk of people move on, and there's not always a big thing to move onto. But some people remain. And I think people generally prefer the eSports of the games they know how to play.

Right now off the top of my head there's eSports for Overwatch, CSGO, dota 2, lol, apex, Fortnite, hearthstone, rocket league, pubg, valorant, rocket league, sim racing and countless fighting games.

And those are all still active and updated with new content coming out (except overwatch rip). Sure the market got bigger but it feels like back in 00s and early 10s a games life was shorter and more people tended to play the same thing.
Well, it does happen sometimes - a Nobel price laureate who worked on Pulsar also developed a popular amateur radio modulation that works under the noise floor and makes regular trans-continental connections possible with essentially a cheap SDR and a piece of wire.

Thank you. That is not the issue.
There's no such concept of "reserving" domain names in a pre-sale. Either you own it, someone else owns it, or it doesn't yet exist and anyone could own it. I think you got confused by a registrar's "preorder" language, by that was never a guarantee; it was just their attempt to secure it for you when it became available. There was no guarantee.

> Please do not treat them this way. They do not grant access to your account.

Can you expand on that? Once I have such code, what’s stopping me from “stealing” the account?
Oh, as if we didn't know that. That's been more than obvious since his open support for Trump and playing by the insane rules that Russia is trying to impose on the world.
One thing to note is they can detain you for up to 23 days without a charge (subject to extension) and during that time you may of may not be able to speak to a lawyer and during this time sometimes they get detainees to “confess”.

Mr Ghosn got some concessions only because he had some influence.

In the US it’s a bit different, prosecutors throw as many counts as they can in hopes the accused will plea-deal for a lesser charge.

Not sure what’s worse.
He's only a useful donor if he's super-rich. He might have walked away with a couple million assuming no prosecution, but regardless of what the media/politicians might think, his name is mud on Wall Street. That means he can't bankroll campaigns anymore.
Don't we all love some bank runs and stupid bagholders losing all their money? Specially if they had some magic beans we dislike. It's good for fiat. /s
Surprised this doesn't mention Asmongold. He just took months off from streaming and just came back like last week, and already just hit over 50,000 paid subscribers again. (In those months off he was streaming on his non-monetized alt channel where he doesn't feel any pressure with streaming and earns nothing.)

Streamers have to also be doing YouTube or creating alternate revenue streams because live streaming will inevitably burn you out. But you can take breaks...
Saying that CL is simpler and saner than Clojure is a pretty hot take. CL is a huge and complex language with lots of legacy decisions and quirks. Clojure is a far smaller and more focused language by comparison. Meanwhile, things like data structure literals and destructuring remove a ton of boilerplate present in CL.
Well is starcraft2 really that fun to watch?
You'd be better to compare it to Dota2, although no doubt you're going to get more things wrong..

Dota2 have all levels of competition historically Valve did "just" the big tourmanent while letting various orgs that popped out of the scene to handle them, it feels way more organic vs LoL/Riot approach of having iron grip over everything competitive
Wow. I have now scrubbed this wrong fact from my brain. Thanks!
I tried guanfacine and it made my resting heart rate go down to 40. Was also feeling a tiny little bit more labored while breathing. I really liked the other effects though. I stayed on it for two months or so but stopped for fear of long term side effects. From my research, it looks like I had an atypical but not unheard of reaction.
