First, most of the comments are about getting rich, which is a different skill than making money.

To make money, sell something valuable to others.

To get rich, first you have to define "rich" - most people's definition is attainable purely by the thing above, over a long enough period of time.

For large enough definitions of "rich", or if you want to get rich "quick", you have one of two ways: get a lot of money from a small number of people, or a little money from a large number of people.

Each requires different talents, a tremendous amount of luck, and ultimately a willingness to lie, cheat, and steal to hold on to the ladder as you climb.

It's certainly something we as a society should dissuade. The more people we have in mode A - sell something valuable, get modestly wealthy over a long period of time - the better off we are.

At some point in the chain, people need to get out of it. You buy food from grocery store who buys it from wholesaler who buys it from farmers, who could all be spread around the world. How is that feasible without worldwide adoption of USDT?

> 42 USC 1983 allows government actors to be sued for civil rights violations.

Corporal punishment (within the bounds articulated by Ingraham v. White) in public schools is not a civil rights violation under US federal law, so the fact that government actors can be sued for civil rights violations is immaterial.

> While on the books it may look legal, if parents were to bring a lawsuit they would likely win.

No, they would lose. As they did, with appeals the whole way to the Supreme Court, in Ingraham v. Wright.
Python sometimes feel like being stuck in a local-maximum: the network effect is real, but there are so many downsides to the platform itself, and the "two-languages" paradigm renders the computational code obscure and undebuggable.

The fact that there's so many different ways for mod menus to crash other players should have been a pretty obvious signal to infosec-aware people that there's almost certainly RCEs just waiting to be found. And even story mode being potentially impacted shouldn't come as a surprise, because previously there was the "FoG" (finger of god) series of exploits that allowed mod menu users to manipulate story mode sessions of other players, as long as they were connected to the internet.

If the attacker's ultimate goal is ideological but their proximate goal is chaos and they think they have a large enough group of similarly motivated people the purpose could be quite simply to show that it can be done. Do it, don't get caught, and wait for the copycats. It doesn't even matter if their ultimate goals and the original attacker's align.

But most early computer programmers were women. If it’s just the environment they grew up in, then why did programming computers shift over the 20th century from being a job dominated by women to a job dominated by men?

For the record, I also don’t think it’s about “differences in capabilities”. I think that amongst other things, as personal computing came of age different types of men became attracted to computing, and changed the culture around computing to one which excluded women (in most cases probably unintentionally). If that’s true, there might be parallels with the software industry today and race.

I haven't found one either, but this is something I would very much enjoy.

I think one possible way to implement such a system would be to keep track of what people highlight and run some data analysis on that. Opt-in, of course, if you don't feel comfortable sharing that data.

I'm sure there's lots of great essays I've missed that are just waiting to be discovered again.

Crypto has rules which Binance mostly ignore.

Over time the rules of traditional finance and the rules of crypto will converge because they are really two sides of the same coin. Some outdated regulations will be removed and some new ones will introduced in the process.

> I think your mentioned law was passed after that,

It was not. 42 U.S.C. 1983, the section cited, is where Section 1 of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 is codified.

This was passed more than a century before Ingraham v. Wright (1977).

I always wonder what they mean by "ritual", it always seems to be a throwaway word for modern or ancient cultures that just have different beliefs or traditions. But it's rarely used when talking about the author's (or anthropologist's) own culture.
>The ones near me are clean and well maintained.

Not near me or other major cities I've been to. Maybe in more suburban and higher income areas.

>No one is forcing you to buy concessions.

Sure, but it's a bad business to try to make $15 popcorn and $10 soda into a sustainable business model. The reason Alamo Drafthouse is doing better is they sell food people actually want to eat so you can do dinner and a movie at the same time and get drinks. It's just a better business plan--fewer seats per theater, but more income per seat (i.e. quality over quantity).

I still love local theaters that feel special and unique. There's no better way to experience movies than to go to an old Fox Theater with some red velvet carpet. Now the entire experience has been commodified into a Walmart big-box experience. If the choice is theaters like AMC, then I'd rather just stream from home on my big screen tv.

>I really don't want everything interesting outside of my house to stop existing.

That's kind of the opposite what I want--I want fewer big box chains running things and more regional/local/indie options.

Care to share which make and model of panels the array is, what the controller is, what angle they're at and what sight lines they have? Or would that prove me right?

Being a condescending twit isn't the same thing as knowledge. And being unable to understand that a utility array designed for maximum uptime might behave differently to a home array doesn't make you right. And not understanding that clouds aren't infinitely large doesn't help your case either.

Even if you insist that all solar must behave exactly like your array, then simply upping the dispatchable power + pumped hydro to 20% of the total power for the year or adding wind still easily covers a constant load with 12 hours storage and <50% curtailment.
And we paid them extremely well to do so.

> Once you buy a car you will use it until it breaks.

This assumption really calls the conclusions into question. I understand the problem is easier to model this way, but it’s neither pragmatic nor realistic. People do fix cars, all the time, and it’s often economically rational to do so.

You can keep a good-quality 20-year-old car in nearly-new condition for much less than payments on a new car. Many cars that are legendarily reliable are so because they’re easy to maintain; finicky cars are more fragile and harder to repair.

So this is a fun thought experiment, but it’s not useful to think of it as car buying advice until it accounts for maintenance.

Both the letter and the judge's handwritten response refer to these as "appearance bonds".
"Failure" is still a fair description. Companies that raise that much money usually don't collapse outright. Instead the investors engineer an exit, partly because it returns some money but mostly because it looks better and solidifies relationships both with founders and acquirers.

sold companies for ~10m net

We don't know the exact numbers for this particular case, but you can be sure people lost money. Raising $30m doesn't mean the company was valued at $30m; it means the company was valued at much more. For example if you took $30m in a typical Series A round you'd be valued at $150m. If you then sold for a third of that...
This is a poor hack that will backfire for someone. The CI process set up a certain environment for a reason. It purged some variables, and possibly altered others.

I'm likely guessing right that if, for instance, you take the PATH from /proc/pid/1 and install that as your PATH, your CI process may run into trouble, like not being able to find needed utilities.

That you need superuser privileges to get at these variables should be a red flag.
Apple does not make any Macs with ECC RAM any more.

This was the reason I always used Mac Pro machines, and at the end, iMac Pro: those machines had ECC RAM, and incidentally always seemed more stable over months and years than the MacBook Pros I had, which didn’t.

(Of course, there are a lot of reasons why a laptop might crash or malfunction an order of magnitude more than a desktop machine. The benefits of ECC RAM are really hard to catch definitively in the wild. We know they exist though, so I’m in the “it’s insane not to use ECC RAM for any use case that persisting data and then reading it back later” camp.)
Re: "They will keep everything a secret[...]then come out of nowhere with a mind-blowing product" - that was true (in spades) during Steve Jobs era.

That's not been my experience of them. While they're not for every situation, and definitely not for safety critical fastenings, I've found them very useful for many things in rally cars, all of which were extensively used in gravel rallies (up to WRC level), and never had any issues with loosening.

They need to be installed with a decent tool though. Mine only cost about £50, and was a revelation compared to other jury-rigged methods!
Seconded! And put on the album "Eye in the Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project while you play. I happened to listen to that while playing the game and thematically it's very appropriate.
Diversity hire is a dog whistle. If you are a low performer in the in-group, you are label as a low performer. If you are a low performer in the out group, you are labelled as a diversity hire.

Even if you are not low performing, you’re still under constant pressure to prove you’re not a diversity hire.

People usually don’t have the designation of “diversity hire” officially bestowed on them by a company. They are just given to people who are in the out-group by people in the in-group. In your story, it sounds like a company explicitly was searching for a woman as a manager or the CEO got that impression. I don’t know American laws but where I am the exemptions for explicitly hiring a job based on a protected category are very limited and need to be intrinsically link - think things like requiring a woman for a female role in a movie or requiring a member of X cultural group for an outreach role focusing on that group.

Obviously this is very hard to police, and people do consider protected categories in hiring practices, sometimes in favour of an in-group and sometimes in favour of an out-group.

You might argue that the existence of diversity quotas, targets, policies or programs is the cause of the the different treatment, but it is not. Even if the company had a very explicit “best candidate wins - no special treatment” policy - you can’t escape in-group vs out-group politics. It is just that the dog whistle used will change. Even if a company has no diversity policy, the laws exist and so the whistle will change from “X is diversity hire” to “they can’t fire X because they’re afraid of lawsuits”.

Most people in out-groups will just end up adopting a persona that is acceptable enough to the in-group in order to survive. But this also does bad damage to a person’s identity. Ironically, one of the best ways to prove yourself as a member of the in-group is to blow the same dog whistles - as the female CEO did in your example.

> You disregard anecdote when it clashes with your priors.

No, I disregard anecdote to the extent it makes claims which are conclusory rather than observational.

I weight anecdote very lightly in any case, though.
Really hoping that GTA 6 Online uses dedicated servers. It's not that expensive, and lets you have the option of being more authoritative with clients.
What does that mean?

1. Javascript is at its core a functional programming language. In many ways it is more like lisp than like java (and lisp was the original intended syntax for javascript!)
2. Adding pipe operators is 100% in line for a functional programming language.
3. Even if it weren't, adding functional features to a high level language is definitely a good thing.
Unfortunately, C++ programmers are often extremely resistant to the idea that they ought to fix stuff like this. Even in a corporate environment where they are literally being paid to do what they're asked, there may be rebellion against the idea that the program ought to actually be correct (e.g. all tests complete successfully under UBSan) rather than just "Seems OK to me" as the standard. For a hobby project like OpenRCT2 it's often an insurmountable climb. Now, I don't know about that project in particular, but for a random Free Software project in C++ my opening assumption would be that they'd take a bug fix (like the one in the story) but they aren't likely to be sanitiser clean.
Yes. But when I use invoke range(k,n) or list[k:n] I intend to do operations on some specific items, not repeat some operations 10 times.

So every time I see `for i in range(10)`, I have to do the mental computation: I am repeating this operation on numbers from 0,...,9.

I would rather write `for i in range(9)` and know that I am operating on 0,..,9.

How legal is using a drone to map own property?
Most years, everything on my taxes is based on a form some financial institution sent me. Investments info, mortgage info, salary info, 401k/IRA info, charitable contributions.

Why is all this being sent to me and not the IRS?

If it is also being sent to the IRS, why isn’t the IRS sending me a pre-filled “return” that I can simply send back with a “Agree” checked?

Yes, there are years I have things that are unexpected/unusual. I’m happy to add that stuff to the above pre-filled form and submit it. But it’s absolutely infuriating that every April I have to spend a day sorting through a pile of paperwork and stress about whether or not I’ve forgotten something or gotten something wrong (or, these days, pay a CPA to do it for me, even thought there’s absolutely nothing unusual about my tax situation).
Not yet. I signed up for their alerts though and they’re adding new ones pretty quickly.
While it's shorter, it seems more magical? How does it know to count `failure`?
Cloth actually tends to age better in my experience. Automotive leathers are often bonded and sealed leathers these days, so they have a finite amount of moisture and colorant that wear out over time. Cloth is quite durable as long as you don’t have anything that’ll catch on it or rub it too bad, which is also a weakness of leather and vinyl as well.

What’ll be interesting to watch there is the learning curve on what should go on an AR display in the middle of a firefight - various branches of the US military seem to follow a similar curve where they get very excited about technology and massively invest, only to find that 70lbs of networked infantry gear or a naval destroyer full of screens or a jet with no guns doesn’t actually enhance lethality the way the guys at General Dynamics said it would. Usually V2 is a bit more sane/practical, so I’ll be interested to see where they land on the HUDs.

> The cosmonauts configured the Globus by turning knobs to set the spacecraft's initial position and orbital period. From there, the Globus electromechanically tracked the orbit. Unlike the Apollo Guidance Computer, the Globus did not receive navigational information from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) or other sources, so it did not know the spacecraft's real position. It was purely a display of the predicted position.

I’d imagine they could error correct via ground triangulation of their signals periodically. Or looking out the window for a large distinctive landmark.
The primary (probably build and) packaging system for a software application should probably support the maximum level of metadata sufficient for downstream repackaging tools.

Metadata for the ultimate software package should probably include a sufficient number of attributes in its declarative manifest:

Package namespace and name,

Per-file paths and Checksums, and at least one cryptographic signature from the original publisher. Whether the server has signed what was uploaded is irrelevant if it and the files within don't match a publisher signature at upload time?

And then there's the permissions metadata, the ACLs and context labels to support any or all of: SELinux, AppArmor, Flatpak, OpenSnitch, etc.. Neither Python packages nor conda packages nor RPM support specifying permissions and capabilities necessary for operation of downstream packages.

You can change the resolver, but the package metadata would need to include sufficient data elements for Python packaging to be the ideal uni-language package manager imho

I would say it has the best qualities of many text games and MUDs with less of the weaknesses of its rivals.

You don't need an emulator, you can play from the website, however it's usually advised to download a client to connect from (Mudlet, Cmud, Mushclient, TinTin) so that you can make use of triggers (copy and paste a line from the game into the client so that if that line comes up again your character will react automatically with a 'triggered' response) and aliases (shorten commands, make 'sh' sip health instead of typing it out everytime).
