They plead guilty because they were granted deals that involve testifying against SBF, and sang like canaries.

But the feds have every intention of nailing Sam as hard as possible. There will be no plea bargaining for him. So it's either fight it in court, or take the max sentence. What we're seeing here are the last acts of a desperate man who knows he's screwed either way.

> Do you see that wide gray box that says "Youtube Featured, RELEASED this week!" I consider that an ad for trashy commercial popculture slop, I hate it and want it gone. How do I remove it with Brave's blocker? I have ad blocking turned up to aggressive but it's still there

I have literally never seen this box. Something might be wrong with your config, either manually or due to Brave. Could be worth it to hit up Brave on their Github.

For what its worth, I was an uMatrix user in the past, but I got tired of the churn of constant tiny breakage (even if my regular set of sites was beautifully set up after a while). I know very well the ins and outs of blocking.

I did a trial run for a few weeks, alternating between uBlock and Brave blocking, and the difference was so unnoticeable that I just went cold turkey.

Brave has honestly been on a roll with their built-in security features:

- HTTPS upgrading

- configurable adblock

- fingerprinting protection

- WebRTC protection

- (soon) port-scanning protection, the first browser to do so

- (soon) cookie auto-deleting

> Anyway, I didn't downvote your above comment, which is now flagged as well. Near as I can figure the "modern godwin" accusation leveled against you is either because you mentioned brave (is Eich claimed to be a nazi now?) or because you said Mozilla is being woke. Either way, a very stupid reaction to your inoffensive comment. This place is becoming orange reddit.

Thanks for saying so! And yep. The funny thing is, all these dogmatic people do is strengthen the opinion of regular tech users like me. The more vindictive they get, the harder I try to steer away more and more people from Firefox.

Funnily enough its the opposite with Thunderbird. Since they had their split, their management is a lot more neutral and tech-focused and thus I try to get as many people back on that train as possible. I've even donated to Thunderbird, as those donations are specifically earmarked for Thunderbird only.

This. LibGen is respectable, Z-Library is not.
Normally I would sigh and say to myself "meh. why is someone on HN posting music videos?"

But I'm a YMO fan, so I clicked the link and was transported back to the 1970s. I apparently forgot that Blasto existed. Space Wars I remember, of course.

So... my new rule is... if it's a video of 70s electronic music and video games, I'm just keeping my mouth shut.

Note, they didn't stop the deal. They temporarily paused it while they hear the case later this year. [0]

> Hunter Biden's no-jail plea deal was rejected, and he goes to trial.

Wasn't directly rejected, the judged asked questions which gave answers that hunters team felt they didn't agree to, including that he is still the subject of ongoing investigations. [1]

> At one point, Noreika asked whether the investigation was ongoing, to which Weiss responded that it was but said he could not share any further details.

> Noreika also raised a hypothetical, asking whether Biden could face charges of failing to register as a foreign agent and whether the agreement blocks his prosecution on such a charge. The defense said it believed the agreement would prohibit him from being charged, and the prosecution then disagreed.

> Clark was overheard telling a prosecutor, "Then we'll rip it up," most likely in a reference to the plea deal, as they discussed the disagreement during a brief break before he eventually relented.

I work in a slightly different way by always saving my code in emacs and loading it fresh each session (though I have gone a couple of weeks with a live image/session on my laptop). I am fortunate that my 3D system [0] compiles and loads in a few seconds.

I also use the REPL for quick tests, and evaluate new code by writing it in emacs and compiling it one function at a time (C-c C-c).

Finally, I keep files of tutorial/demo/test cases which work a bit like a notebook, allowing me to quickly verify that existing 3D scenes still work.

Seems similar. I haven't used the text objects stuff enough to be sure--I'm just excited to do so.

There's something to be said for having it baked in though. I've been nix-ifying my configs and not having to think about any plugins was a welcome change.

Paused, and is reviewing an appeal after a court approved the deal.

> - Hunter Biden's no-jail plea deal was rejected, and he goes to trial.

It wasn't really rejected, there was no deal at all. The two parties didn't have the same understanding of a key term of the deal, the judge pointed it out, and then the parties weren't able to agree on that term.

Most of the answers are missing the actual (proposed) mechanism.

The energy of the reaction is mostly carried away as high-energy neutrons. So, the way to get energy back is to "capture" those neutrons. Since neutrons are not electrically charged, you can't use them to directly create electricity, so all you're left with is using them for heat.

Unfortunately, since they are electrically neutral, they're also relatively hard to catch. You need a dense material where they will have a good chance to hit some nucleus. The proposed designs are typically some kind of liquid metal blanket being circulated around the reactor and onto a place where it can boil water to produce steam to spin a turbine. Lithium is the metal most proposed for this, since it also has the advantage that it can produce tritium when bombarded with neutrons (tritium being the super rare half of the fuel that goes into the reaction).

Locking him out of the controls would have been enough (if the technology allowed it). Even just relieving him of his duty would have been enough. If Captain Dubois had been there early enough and decided to relieve him, Bonin would have almost certainly obeyed.

I doubt size has as much to do with it as the fact that Europe didn't have a "great dying" of its native peoples, followed by colonization. And it's agricultural and industrial history is also very different so the natural landscape was vastly different to begin with.

Doesn't the risk of lack of precision apply to both floating point and fixed-point?
I'd think the reciprocal would need to be exactly represented in the type, or to have more bits than the original type to produce a correct result in the last bit (or two bits?).

Also, with integers, a signed right shift is rounding down (towards negative infinity), whereas the division operator/instruction in many languages/hardware is rounding towards 0.

To adjust the rounding, you'd add the sign-bit to the first fractional bit before shifting the last step. Let's say that 'x' is a signed long, and a signed long has 64 bits, then:

result = ((x >> amount-1) + ((unsigned long)x >> 63)) >> 1;

It's a process. People put up with one overreach or blatant corruption here or there and ten years later they're stuck with a permanent mafia state. It's what you get when you have apathetic people who don't pay attention or take any part in politics. The crooks take over, which itself breeds more apathy ("it sucks but what can I do").

The "ordinary people" vote for this every four years.
Actually, according to US law, it doesn't appear to be copyright infringement. Do you have anything to back up those claims?

According to Butler v. Target Corp., it was held that although lyrics to a song are copyrightable, the underlying voice is not. As such, there is no copyright protection available to the infinite number of words or phrases a person might utter in their distinctive voice.

Additionally, the synthesized audio can be considered derivative, as it transforms the the "audio" into something entirely different than original, and so falls under 17 U.S.C.A § 103.

So, I'm not sure what you mean when you say there are plans for tighter controls. Care to back that up?

He says to avoid complexity, and the team he was on (cleaning up some bad queries) was probably improving along that axis (or at worst orthogonal to complexity) but, from having done exactly this, adding an optional 'query the read-replica' option for queries- and determining whether this query can safely go there- is definitely extra complexity which will now need to be managed into the future. Definitely less overall than a complete re-arching of the system, but this is where engineering judgement and experience come into play: would you be better off getting those select queries resolved with some other data store or with a pg read-replica? If your query can survive against the read-replica (so stale data is at least sometimes acceptable) would you be better off caching results in redis?
Sounds like you can just easily triangulete someone using this API.

Harvard University Encourages Students to Go on Food Stamps
I used to work in an arcade that migrated from coins to mag-stripe cards. Since it's scummy to be left with 0.4 points on a series of cards when games cost 1.1-5.9 points per play, the POS system facilitated a transfer of points across cards.

The workflow for it was predictable-- hit transfer, insert and remove source card, insert and remove target card, confirm transfer.

I never saw the code, but surmise the logic was implemented as: inserting the first card calculated what the end balance should be post-deduction (n=c1_points; c1_points=0). Inserting the second card calculated what the end balance of that card should be post-transfer (c2_points=c2_points+n). Hitting confirm executed the transaction and updated the point balance on both cards.

Now, what happens when you insert the same card for the first and second pass? An enterprising employee thought to ask, and ran a lucrative side business selling cloned cards with thousands of dollars of points for $100 a pop. (IIRC, he got caught when one of his customers had a problem with their card and asked a legit employee for help. The high balance invited scrutiny.)
It should- division is just reverse multiplication.
You shouldn't be downvoted.

I don't know if it's willful ignorance or what, but most people can't grok the fact that children do not develop in a vacuum. They are in most cases a reflection of their parents' traits and values. Worse for SBF, it is entirely plausible that they had a direct hand in enabling his fraudulent behavior. They were politically-connected Stanford lawyers. It would be foolish to dismiss the possibility of them opening doors and providing cover for their son.

Perhaps an extreme comparison, but I feel the same exact way about adolescent school shooters. We are so quick to absolve and sanctify the parents as if their child's violent tendencies emerged suddenly and spontaneously.

If you want a Sweden-style social democracy, you need to significantly raise taxes on at least the upper quintile (in the US, that's just over $130k - coincidentally, that's around the cutoff for income subject to Social Security tax). But >$130k/year income is most common among the professional-managerial class, which has become a core Democrat constituency, so Democrats will for sure not raise taxes on them - Democrats have already promised not to raise taxes on households making less than $400k. So the US tax code isn't getting fixed anytime soon, unfortunately.

I would not be surprised to see Cavanaugh or Barrett rule in favor of Pornhub. Thomas is weird, he flip-flops a lot on these issues. I don't know how he'd rule. You might be referencing Barrett's Catholic beliefs here, but in terms of how she's actually ruled on the court and what she's written in her opinions, it would not be at all out of character for her to side with Pornhub.

First of all, congrats on reaching $500 MRR, I have been running my own product for longer and I'm still not there yet, I also know many friends in a similar situation.

Related to sales strategies, have you considered talking directly to people? Try finding a niche where you product is well-received, then, ads could be better targeted.

Also, by trying your website bot, I typed "How much does it cost?" and the response was huge + some html tags, I can imagine that potential customers wouldn't be keen to get this in their website.

In any case, talking to people could help you to discover why people is not purchasing the product.

Good luck.

I feel like a lot of people do this instead of upgrading to newer versions, even maintenance patches.

And I get that upgrades can be scary, but often they are relatively low cost.

Leaving everyone on the old system unhappy… means they will eventually push to re-platform, or rebuild, instead of just doing suggested maintenance along the way to keep they system they have in good shape.

My advice… do the maintenance. Do all the maintenance! Don’t just drive it into the ground and get mad when it breaks; change the oil and tires and spring for a car wash and some new wiper blades every now and then and you’ll be happier in the long run.
