The story goes Owyhee County is named after Hawaii. It's a county southwest of the Boise Area and home to the most beautiful wilderness I have ever seen. There is nothing like hiking mile after mile out there under the hot summer sun never seeing another living soul... But I digress. The story goes some Hawaiian goat herders entered the area to try their luck and were never to be seen again and hence the name. Owyhee = Hawaii
How true it is I do it know but it's what I've always been told.

Oh no, asking questions! The horror! If people start communicating, next thing you know they'll be collaborating, and then they might even eventually form a supportive, cohesive team. And we can't have that.
Why Should I Buy a Life Insurance Plan?
YouTube ads have gotten vey scummy too. A lot of get rich or get fit ads though I just listen to music or lectures there. And it seems common for others and now people have learned to avoid YouTube ads.
I'm clicking somewhat often on youtube ads, because there's no way to escape them without the content blocker, so you have to watch the ad anyway. So if I have to wait anyway until the ad ends, I just waste aditional click. But I never buy anything nor have any interest in the advertised product. I do this mainly for 2 reasons:

- waste the budget of annoying/scam ads in hope that in the future I'll see less of those

- support the content creator

I think that there is some weird effect in the ad business where this isn't the case. Look at sponsorships or untargeted ads; Red Bull may sponsor someone jumping out of a balloon at the edge of space, but it's probably hard to convert that investment to a number of extra cans of energy drink sold. I see a lot of video ads like that in the same way. Everyone watching Overwatch League is just there idling for in-game rewards for watch time and probably have no idea who the sponsors are. And, all these children inflating YouTube view counts because the thumbnail has a weird face they can't resist clicking, aren't buying razor blade subscriptions or workstation monitoring systems that the video sponsors are advertising. (Hi Linus.)

I could never figure out if advertisers don't know what's going on, or they merely don't want to know. I get the feeling that companies value brand perception so heavily they don't know they're getting ripped off by the distribution networks. Or, individual ad executives just want people to talk about their ad at the water cooler, so don't purchase ads to most efficiently use their employer's marketing budget, but rather maximize impressions to inflate their personal brand. Like I said, I don't know; maybe everyone knows about all of these things and they think untracked ad impressions are worth what they're paying. It's a mystery to me, but I'm somewhat surprised the traditional ad industry is alive and well.

(The really insidious new form of advertising are paid endorsements and rigged reviews. If you search for "best X 2023", 100% of the results are ads presented as research. Truly evil and ruined ... everything.)

Abstract interpreters and static analyzers are really powerful and not that hard to implement, compared to the little competition we have in this space.

It’s a bit better than I expected although it does seem odd that everything in the first two years is very Eurocentric. It’s only in the third year are students exposed to anything by Asian authors (and there’s some cheating there in that the Dao de jing is listed twice—no, wait, three times!) and those are all under the category of elective works.

I’m frankly unconvinced of the value of reading historical works of science or mathematics, especially those written before modern notation came into usage—without additional explicatory apparatus, the text would be exceptionally opaque.

The problem with people psychology wise is arguments tend to reinforce their own beliefs of being right. Arguing can get to the emotional core of people and logic and emotion don't often play well together being on opposite sides of the brain. Dominance and the desire to be right can make people feel more correct in their own head even if it's illogical, because it's safe and feels good being a winner. Unlike regular open discussion where both parties are more flexible and winning to change sides, arguments rarely will change sides as few people are willing to put in the effort to look at their "enemies" perspective.

The best way to counter any claim is with openness, empathy and the ability to be wrong. That is how you change minds, don't let emotions separate you. Granted that is far easier said then done as I may disagree with someone then they often turn to insults if they think "I've turned against them" because I may have a different opinion. Some people have such high defense you really can't get through to them.
I wonder if Boeing still have it in them to do something like that, after the last string of debacles.
There has been a dramatic decline in trust of institutions, regardless of political affiliation [1]. The medical system is at 38%, public schools at 28%, newspapers at 14%. These levels are so abysmally low that it's literally impossible for it to be partisan - it's global. The levels are lower than they've ever been, by far.

Nostalgia. CS 1.2 with our family's bad windows 98 PC in the early-2000s was how I got into computers as an 8 year old kid. It was so laggy on our low end PC, it took about 5 seconds to shoot. It was like watching a slideshow presentation with delayed sound. It was until I discovered the internet and browsing around forums, that I found a solution to hack around it. Later I started making bots and mods, getting my first exposure to programming. But that exploration stopped when I discovered a very grindish online game that became massively popular in the 2000s called Runescape.
Didn’t do much for me. But I am an atypical listener — most of my playlists are different recordings of the same jazz standard by different artists or just same artist different era.

Probe 1: Birdland. First hit was the canonical Weather Report recording. 2nd or third was a popular Man Tran version. Then I saw a Maynard Ferguson track — ok that was a discovery as I haven’t listened to Maynard much for a few years. Didn’t like his version much, but still your software gets full points for discovery.

Probe 2: Minor Swing. First hit was obscure, and it linked off to a bunch of totally unrelated stuff. Django nowhere to be found.

> They do find antisemitism on the left and the center of the US political spectrum - just more on the right.

You know who says that? The same US intelligence agencies that conspired to censor twitter and who said the hunter biden laptop wasn't real. Who actually supports Israel? Consistently the US right and the Republicans.

The Canadian government leaned heavily into this fabrication early in 2022 for the trucker protest. They called it white-supremacist (despite videos of the crowd dancing to Banghra with visibly Sikh truckers - one of the largest minorities in Canadian shipping) and accused the event of being anti semitic because one of the organizers blogged something silly about Jews in banking years before. During this time a leftist government consultant tweeted “You know all those loud mouthed bags of human feces, aka the Jewish White Supremacists; when we liberate Palestine and they have to go back to where they come from, they will return to being low voiced bitches of thier (sic) Christian/Secular White Supremacist Masters.” and it was ignored until the prime minister was finally forced to acknowledge it.

The are thousands of calls on Twitter for the jews the be pushed into the sea and none of them are from conservatives.

"Far right" has become a term for things the left says but doesn't want to own.
Outside of regulated fields like healthcare and travel is the market even significant for such tooling? Can't say I know any shop that prioritizes code correctness outside of press releases.
The feds will simply sanction any institution which allows XMR to be converted to fiat. The US government has ultimate control over global finance for now, although that iron grip is being weakened with Russia/China's alternative to SWIFT/etc. However, China has already banned XMR domestically.

US financial sanctions are very intense. The bank/instution that is converting fiat to XMR would be a complete pariah, unable to participate in any global banking or have any transactions with any bank which needs to participate with other global banks.

If you are an institution selling XMR and taking peoples fiat, you would have nowhere to store the fiat. You would have no one (Stripe/Visa/SWIFT/ACH/PayPal/etc) who would process those payments. You would be unable to travel to any western country. Anyone who does business with you could also get similar sanctions.

You could perhaps trade XMR<->ETH or something like that...but eventually someone with the XMR will want to convert it to fiat, and that would not be possible. Anyone doing a lot of BTC/ETH<->XMR trades could be found via blockchain analysis, and similarly investigated and prosecuted for participating in XMR, because XMR facilitates money laundering.

A sympathetic detonation is very unlikely for a nuclear weapon. They have to detonate in an extremely specific way, such that the explosion compresses the fissile material from all sides at once. A random off-center explosion hitting a nuclear bomb would likely cause the explosives in the bomb to detonate off their very specific timing and fail to cause a nuclear detonation.

This was actually a safety design feature:

> Walske also stipulated that all nuclear weapons in the stockpile must be “one-point safe;” that is,the weapon must have a probability of less than one in one million of producing a nuclear detonation if a detonation of the high explosives originates from a single point

In fact this entire article seems to not recognize this fact. Even if one of the bombs detonated, it was always going to be bad for the people near it but not catastrophic or anything. It would almost certainly not have been nuclear.
Naysayers and passersby: I get it. No worries.

>Can't we just do the free trade thing without all the surveillance laws and other crap?

Basically, no. What you're asking for is what the EU has tried to do somewhat: become a confederation. It doesn't work. The USA tried it back in the 1700s and it was a disaster. The country couldn't defend itself, have any kind of central banking and currency, or any consistent policy. It was replaced in 12 years with the more centralized federal system that exists now.

The EU was created because the European nations wanted to be a powerful continent-sized political entity that could rival the US, and have the same benefits and power on the world stage. But there are costs to this: you need much greater centralization. Arguably, the US doesn't have enough centralization and this is causing many of its internal problems now.

Basically, if you want to be a world power, you can't just be a bunch of small, disparate countries in a loose trade confederation. You need more centralization of power, and the problems that come with that. If you don't want that, you need to just be happy with being a bunch of separate, sovereign nations with different currencies and trade barriers between them all. Pick one.

From my perspective, the EU's problems you see are because it won't just commit to a centralized system and eliminating national sovereignty, and it's trying to have it both ways.
In a car crash, there are frequently showers of sparks from metal bits grinding against pavement. I'd like to see that test performed with an ignition source near the tank.
> Other instructions leave some of the flags in an undefined state, although in some cases they are conditionally undefined.
> I’ve heard that the Atom line of CPUs used a cheaper/slower way of doing bit shifts in the ALU, which results in the undefined flags having different values, although I haven’t tested this myself.

That seems... problematic. Do compilers know this and just ignore the flags if/when they use these instructions?

John von Neumann’s Game Theory

László Mérő

The fundamental theorem of John von Neumann’s game theory states that in a broad category of games it is always possible to find an equilibrium from which neither player should deviate unilaterally. Such equilibria exist in every two-person game that satisfies the following criteria:

1. The game is finite both in that the number of options at each move is finite and in that the game always ends in a finite number of moves.

2. It is a zero-sum game: One player’s gain is exactly the other’s loss.

3. The game is one of complete information: Each player knows precisely all the options available to him and to his opponent, the value of each possible outcome of the game, and his own and his opponent’s scales of values. (If the game is zero-sum, these two values are the same. There exist non-zero-sum games with complete information content, but von Neumann’s theorem does not encompass them.)

Not saying it's what's keeping me from using Linux for everything or anything, but that's a more annoying shortcut and also requires me to not accidently do the same key combo that gets used in every other application. It's nice that I can muscle-memory cmd+c on my Mac and not have to think about it when I'm using the terminal specifically
What do you mean by "efficiency" here?
Probably costs a few order of magnitudes less.
I use a thermostatic mixer from Grohe (though there are more manufacturers in the recent years, including IKEA), and it handles normally both heating/cooling of the valve itself, and fluctuations of pressure in the pipes (when someone flushes the toilet).

Our hot water supply is off for 2 week per year for maintenance, and I use heater tank (which stores 30 L of hot water, enough to take a generous shower for 1 person). This way, cold water pressurizes both the cold valve, and the tank and the hot valve. I expected some random oscillations, but no, the thermostatic mixer worked just fine.

This is the one I have: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F...
Vercel, Netlify etc are big ones in the webdev world.
I think this gets really close to the actual story. A ton of the money in all faangs, is between the big companies. Google paying to be the default search engine. Microsoft doing the same.

At least on the higher latitude parts of the east coast it seems inevitable that feed-in tariffs will go to zero over time, even during some of the wettest/cloudiest years we've had there's so much excess supply.

Could do an interconnect to WA, we've talked about it for a long time, would extend out the solar over-generation period by 3-4 hours on each side of the country, but it's pricey, especially compared to local storage and power storage costs in general going down so it may be a white elephant before we even get it built.

> Now they've been through very significant bear markets, some theft of funds and still are solvent.

How did you determine they are solvent?

Note that even a literal Ponzi scheme could honor withdrawals for a time, so producing $1 for 1 USDT (or even several billion) is not proof.

The only reports I'm aware of are either paid for by Tether (e.g. the latest report from BDO--whom I know nothing about) or from governments (e.g. the NYAG and CFTC reports--which I trust--and show that Tether was, in fact, not telling the truth about reserves).
Do you have an extension, which replies to all many emails I receive, in a meaningful way?

I also need an extension, which processes my workflow: analyzes and translates the email requests into tasks, autonomously processes those tasks (fix bugs, develop features, refactors technical debts, write test cases, cleanup input data, verify output data, closes items, ...) and then submits the replies, closes tickets, communicates with users about changes, passes the balls to the next bots in line (communicates objectives, enforces execution, manages timelines and expectations).

I also need some extension to pacify my boss.
