Everything can be technically correct in a terribly written piece. It’s really all about framing and context.

The issue is not really the specific word used. The issue is the overall framing and the ambiguity that the framing introduces.

Now imagine the exchange didn’t bankrupt itself and successfully kept these trades under the radar and then went on to become a popular product.

Some time later, the government catches wind and begins an investigation.

Imagine how odd a story about this would be if framed as: “The dos and don’ts of wash trading”. With content like “do make sure you don’t fall prey to smart Python programmers” and “don’t get caught”.

It’d be a lot weirder than “Popular exchange in trouble after the feds discovered evidence of early wash trading”.
kinda spooky you see your neighbours doors on your cameras :O
It really isn't that dire, AWS has Shield (or really just Cloudfront), GPC has Cloud Armor, Azure has "Azure DDoS Protection", everything on Digital Ocean is protected by default. And if you're on-prem or colo then even a modestly sized edge router can handle quite a bit of traffic. And if all you want is the CDN part and not origin protection then every commercial CDN does DDoS protection.

If you mean "providing expensive protection services for free on a $5/mo VPC" then sure Cloudflare might be your only bet.

Make no mistake: the old arbiters of morality can also fail spectacularly. Christendom did centuries of crusades with no better justification than "Our god says that land is ours."

The problem is the challenge of scalable applied philosophy. What name we affix to that challenge is less relevant than the challenge itself.
You can do everything. Even if just using assembler.

Popular web frameworks such as Laravel, rails or Django do this by default, and a ton other “small things”.

> Would this be equivalent to a "gentlemen's agreement"? Is that a thing in Canada? It was or is in England AFAIK. I don't think that would work in the US.

No, in the US as is the case in most common law countries, as long as their is evidence supporting offer and acceptabce of an agreement with intent to be bound, consideration, etc., the form of either the agreement or the offer and acceptance of the agreement isn’t important, other than specific exceptions requiring particular form for certain kinds of contracts to be valid.

> I would expect a public notary to show up with hard copies for me to sign and photo-copy my state ID but that is not consistent any more, or at least since Covid.

The federal E-Sign Act was passed in 2000 (though COVID waa a big boost in people taking advantage of it), but that made electronic signatures valid where the law required signatures for a contract, it wasn’t necessary for the general case of contract law, where signatures on a written agreement are nice to have evidence of the content of the agreement and the offer and acceptance thereof, but not in any way required.

Super Mario RPG was a collab between Nintendo and Square. Square famously jumped ship after Nintendo ditched the CD format. As another mentioned, Paper Mario was supposed to be the spiritual successor to SMRPG. Even though Paper Mario was a modest success, I still consider it a miss on matching SMRPG's quality bar for an RPG.

I like the movie I, Robot, even if it is a departure from the original Asimov story and has some dumb moments. I, Robot shows a threatening version of the future where a large company has a private army of androids that can shoot people and do unsavory things. When it looks like the robot company is going to take over the city, the threat is understood to come from the private army of androids first. Only later do the protagonists learn that the company's AI ordered the attack, rather than the CEO. But this doesn't really change the calculus of the threat itself. A private army of robots is a scary thing.

Without even getting into the question of whether it's actually profitable for a tech company to be completely staffed by robots and built itself an underground bunker (it's probably not), the luddite on the street and the concerned politician would be way more concerned about the company building a private army. The question of whether this army is led by an AI or just a human doesn't seem that relevant.
This was in 1999, and definitely the DreamCast. I was using one of the Katana dev kits. But I may be misremembering about the the plane-based rendering; I can't seem to find any references to that now.
Assuming we see a new post about Threads user growth at x2 intervals, we'll see a maximum of eight more posts before they run out of humans.
Then that's fantastic they've got that flexibility. But then it's probably a fair assumption they didn't increase their price by 10% each of those 10 times, unless they're in a very small subset of industries.

But other companies sign one-year contracts with customers, for example. There's no need to be snarky about it.
If you are looking for good books by Delany

Jewel Hinged Jaw is literary criticism and advice for writers
https://www.amazon.com/Jewel-Hinged-Jaw-Language-Science-Fic...

His three most pure "science fiction" novels are Babel-17, Trouble on Triton (originally published as Triton), and Nova. They are all very imaginative but grounded in scientific extrapolation.

His Neveryona series of stories and books are set in a medieval frame but are really about modern life. I found them interesting and thought-provoking.

He wrote a short autobiographical piece about some time he spent in a commune called "Heavenly Breakfast" that I found insightful.

He has a number of very good shorts science fiction stories from the 60's and 70's that are very good as well. Two in particular I enjoyed:

"Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones"

"We, in Some Strange Power’s Employ, Move on a Rigorous Line"

are collected in "Driftglass"
Attitude aside, this is a very good point. Everything trump did should be reviewed at this point. It's sad that plenty of civil servants / folks who have made careers for themselves and worked to improve this country are likely to be viewed dimly because trump appointed them to positions of power. But the reality is everything he did should be viewed with suspicion.
Question makes perfect sense to me. Not OP but I pay for YouTube to avoid commercials and for some reason, perhaps simply because of its robust background play, it’s my favorite podcast medium by a long shot.
That's not what the ruling said. Trumps actions weren't impermissible censorship, they were impermissible for other reasons. You can't just assume a court ruling was done for the reason you believe.

In a similar way in that text messages were used, but not the "same" because the thumbs up emoji had not been used in the past to express agreement.

Let us assume there were no reasonable explanation for the origin of life. Yet, "there is no reasonable explanation of life, hence god exists" would still be a non sequitur. You have to brush up your Logic, and it is not meant as a 'take that'.

If you want to do yourself a favor, try your skills on "there is no reasonable explanation of life, hence Zeus exists". Or Allah, if it helps.

Worse yet, you are peddling the god of the gaps: the god that is supposed to explain things where science cannot. This is exactly the god that is fleeing from science ever since science reared its head. And it is the view of god which the original article tries to refute. As your existence shows, it cannot be entirely right.
lol I gotta say I've been trying to read the defenders of this and take them seriously but your incredulity matches mine...

.. and people are replying to you and _still_ defending the government and think they should have unilateral power over their people

I'm kind of speechless about how many people think this ruling is a bad thing.. like who in the hell out there believes the government should have OPINIONS? Can one of you reply to me?

It's as stupid of a concept as a corporation having an opinion.. opinions are reserved for PEOPLE and I have no idea how you could come up with an argument to change my mind on that.
The list of individuals who work for the government are "hereby enjoined and restrained from taking the following actions a to social-media companies:....

(3)urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner social-media
companies to change their guidelines for removing, deleting, suppressing, or reducing content
containing protected free speech;
(4) emailing, calling, sending letters, texting, or engaging in any communication of any
kind with social-media companies urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner for
removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech;"

Yes, this is a victory for free speech. The aforementioned government officials don't need free speech; we, the taxpayers, do. The government officials have proven they cannot be trusted due to their maligning interests to collude with Big Tech to shill for Big Pharma products. I'm so grateful for some of these federal judges.
i'd buy that argument more if there were some official dictionary of emoji meanings -- but aside from their actual :tag: name, there isn't.

Has no one else encountered older siblings/parents/grandparents misusing emojis accidentally just for the sake of keeping up on the social treadmill?

I sure as hell have.

It's a common enough thing that there is an 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' episode that partially revolves around the misinterpretation of emoji meanings.[1]

I probably worded that poorly. By not working what I meant was that there are a lot of disingenuous people and we are very litigious in the US. I can't imagine verbal contracts being honored by the majority unless there are many witnesses. I mean, people dispute their actions even when caught on multiple cameras.

It's just been my experience probably based on the best practices you describe that I always had to have a notary and physical ID for anything involving significant liabilities. But even significant liabilities now seem to just be digital which seems risky to me. Perhaps Covid pushed banks into accepting those riskier liabilities.

I have little to offer but my acknowledgement. The "song and dance" routine of getting and new job (especially in the tech industry at least) is dispiriting, embarrassing, exasperating, and disempowering. Even with an impressive amount of skill and dedication to the interview process, the method is indistinguishable from a particularly unrewarding lottery.

It's only redundant if you expect people to memorize your style guide. If the style guide is instead enforced by a lint rule, then having the /> be required means that no one has to memorize the list of self-closing tags.

The writer of the HTML will be told off if they try to use /> on a tag that won't actually self-close, and they will also be told off if they neglect /> on a tag that self-closes.

Once written, the reader knows that a tag that ends in /> closes itself, and if it ends in > then there's definitely a closing tag somewhere.

In my view that's to be expected and I'd want no intervention from the government at all. I would view that as censorship. Gov. is not there to decide for me which ideas are disruptive, I don't want them or anyone in that role. To those in power, any dissent could be spun as disruption to their agenda.

That too, but that wasn't the point :)
this sounds to me like a dollar cost averaging strategy - only buy in when the current price falls below an n-day moving average.

I doubt there is any risk adjusted alpha to the strategy - in practice it's my, newbie, understanding that the only thing that differentiates such strategies in the broader scheme of things is tax efficiency.

however I am also not a ML expert
Well, you can put me in that 1%.

I think it was reckless of the buyer to assume that the contract was approved and to not ask and confirm that the contract was agreed to.

I use django professionally and for personal projects. I started with Flask and then did FastAPI for a while, but I like django the most since it's the most mature.

The ORM and django admin are killer features out of the box that the other frameworks don't have. I will say though that FastAPI is really nice, especially if you need async support. However, I have found that using django ninja [1] adds a lot of nice to haves that FastAPI has to django that makes it much more fun to use again.

Perhaps, but arguing who's political sportsball team is better is a losing strategy in a discussion, no matter who plays. I prefer to go back to the primary topic and discuss from there. It more often than not provides a different path forward, rather than devolving into talking past each other.

And they do have a good point to re-scope government appropriately. And frankly, I believe this clause calls for single payer medical, amongst other things. In some ways, the framers of the constitution did a damned good job in the forward language they chose. Other areas, no so much.
I've played plenty of video games, but these MMO ones have always seemed like more work than game. Especially if people are getting upset over it.
That's actually already a better framework because it now explains price variation not with greed but with political and market dynamics.

You posit some greedy people and posit that whether price goes up or down is no longer due to their greed but due to their market power.

It is better because it is falsifiable. I think if you took this pattern of modeling and used a modern LLM as a Socratic teacher you would rederive a model of pricing that is more closely aligned with reality.

Ultimately, this is all very well-trod ground coming from the tradition of Popper and friends.
Research and Development should really have a hierarchy when it comes to issues that most people on the globe would consider essential. All the money that is going into tech/new gadjets I am sure some of it would have been useful and would have driven the quest to find a solution to clean up pfas and others.

That whole mentality of fix it when the issue is high up enough in the public eye is really one of the things that is wrong with our society.
I often misread "please confirm" with "please confirm receipt of" because so often people ask if you got something at all.

Wriggly – Solidity Coding Challenges
> Products prices are determined by costs + profits.

That's already backwards, though. Prices are determined by what the market will bear, according to the demand curve and what competitors are charging (which puts a ceiling on it).

Then companies attempt to keep costs as low as possible, and their success or lack thereof determines their profits.

(This assumes a lack of collusion over pricing -- but that's the responsibility of the government to prevent, catch, and deter through antitrust.)
Hello,

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with LeetCode and also introduce you to an exciting platform that my peers and I have developed for all blockchain enthusiasts out there.

As an avid user of Leetcode for several years, I have greatly benefited from the extensive collection of coding questions and the amazing community support. It has been instrumental in sharpening me for several interviews and even landed me jobs. However, as of recent I have taken upon blockchain engineering and felt there was a gap in the availability of coding questions specifically tailored to Solidity and blockchain-related problems.

Blockchain, with its decentralized and transparent nature, is revolutionizing various industries, and Solidity has emerged as the go-to programming language for developing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform. As someone who's new to the space, I wanted to push my boundaries further and practice coding challenges that align with this domain.

Therefore, along with my peers, I embarked on a journey to bridge this gap and create a platform that caters specifically to Solidity-based coding challenges. Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to Wriggly.io - a website designed to enhance your blockchain skills through a collection of Solidity coding challenges.

Wriggly provides a comprehensive set of carefully curated coding questions that cover various aspects of Solidity programming, including smart contracts, token creation, decentralized applications (DApps), and much more. With Wriggly, you can dive deep into the world of Solidity and blockchain.

Here are some key features that make Wriggly:

1) Library of Solidity Coding Challenges: Wide range of problems with varying difficulty levels, ensuring there is something for everyone to sovle.

2) Detailed Explanations and Solutions: Each problem comes with detailed explanations and solutions, helping to understand the best approches and learn from our community.

3) Peer Learning and Collaboration: We have a strong community which engages in disucission, share insights, and collaborate to accelerate growth in the blockchain space.

4) Realistic Coding Enviornment: Similar to what is provided on LeetCode, Wriggly allows users to run and submit code for respectice problems. We even have a sandbox to test out custom code.

I invite you all to check out Wriggly.io and begin your journey in blockchain development. Please feel free to provide feedback, share your experiences, and let us know how we can further improve Wriggly to meet your needs. We would also like to bring this feature onto LeetCode, so submitting a feature request would be very helpful!

Best regards,

Sidd
