"Reading" into text (similar to reading betwen the lines) is a skill taught in the arts. The idea is that there are meanings beyond the literal. Symbols can stand in for feelings or ideas, and multiple interpretations can be kinda true and not true at the same time.

Here's an example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nucYxqgiV7k

The literal interpretation is that this is a liquid that alters people's perceptions, and you could ask literal questions about it.

- How was it made?

- How do the police know if people are drinking it?

- What are its effects on the brain?

But those questions don't have satisfying answers, because it's a symbol, a stand-in, a variable:

- It's an allusion to "rose-colored glasses". When people are passionate, they look for the good and ignore problems.

- It's about addiction. The act of drinking is similar to drinking alcohol. He "comes to" in a filthy, miserable living space, the same way someone would after a downwards spiral caused by substance abuse.

- It's about social pressure, "drinking the koolaid", and the emptiness of modern office life.

Which one of these interpretations is "the right one"? None? All?
It seems like we have all of the tools necessary to take a picture of a segment of store shelf and have the price data extracted from the photo, associated with the item itself, cross referenced, etc, and then show you an overlay with the best deals highlighted.
That's why they wear masks. Plenty of Silicon Valley businesses start out by openly breaking the law, too.

The $50 covers the cost of travel, tools, advertising and personal risk.
I think cities do this because it’s cheaper. Parking enforcement costs the same whether it’s private or public but you can extract more money out of it by being dirty. It’s a bad look for the city if they’re dirty but if the private company they contract out does it, the city gets to wash their hands of it. Also pensions and stuff.

Pretty bad.
> sick, which referred specifically to a digestive upset, became a general term for any illness

This claim strikes me as dubious. (But it wouldn’t be a pop-sci article on linguistics without at least one factual error, so maybe this is it.) Wiktionary has a 15th-century attestation of sick meaning “ailing” more generally, and this accords with Germanic cognates (cf. Swedish sjuk “ill”). I would therefore suspect that some English dialects brought to America preserved the original meaning before UK English narrowed it. This claim is sourced neither in the linked article nor in the book The United States of English that it hawks. Would be interested if anyone has more on this.

One works for the individual, the other against the individual.

One works for the collective, the other against the collective.

As a "citizen" who is pretty firmly anti-car within urban areas, my views on who is working for and against me are going to differ from yours.

I don't necessarily agree with the actions the Tyre Extinguishers are taking, but I definitely sympathize and appreciate the end-goal.

On the other hand, as a "citizen" who wants parking within urban areas to be less subsidized, I don't agree with skirting enforcement for fines around illegal parking.
Ah that makes way more sense. Thanks.
Phaser cannot do 3D games well.

Also, the Unity Asset store has so many great assets for me to use.

And 3D tools like PlayCanvas are browser based for their editor too. Desktop apps still have a massive edge in productivity.

Unity has Timeline, Cinemachine, Particle System editors which make detailed tasks possible.

Unity takes care of format shifting your assets into a compatible format, saving oodles of time.

And C# is a superior language to Javascript (never use == use ===). Visual Studio a better IDE than debug in browser
and more importantly with no "large transaction" record, who is going to come after you?
My mistake. He was a pilot.
No, the problem isn’t trust. The problem is the pricing model is both bad and retroactively applied. Given a good number of games won’t be modified or updated, just sold over time, I struggle to see a justification for applying to them beyond “we want more money.”

+1 to this, ZFS with NixOS is quite manageable.

One thing I'm not a fan of though is the guide on the NixOS wiki was removed and instead points to this guide in the OpenZFS docs: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Nix...

It does not have much in the way of rationale - I.e. they say you need minimum 1GB reserve space but don't say what reserve space is and why you need it.

I recall the NixOS wiki used to explain options and trade offs in a lot more detail.

Nice tip re: latestCompatibleLinuxPackage! Had not seen that anywhere yet (probably because I haven't had any issues yet).
Cache line alignment in C++ – How it makes your program faster
> For the second — `USING` isn’t fully equivalent to `ON`.

In terms of portability because its not supported by, e.g., MSSQL, sure.

In terms of its semantics, though:

t1 [LEFT/RIGHT/INNER] JOIN t2 USING col

Is fully equivalent to:

t1 [LEFT/RIGHT/INNER] JOIN t2 ON (t1.col == t2.col)

So for a comparison to SQL as used by most RDBMSs (rather than MSSQL specifically), rather than “what should PRQL compile to”, USING is quite appropriate.

It may be that the intent of the homepage pairing is to highlight the actual compilation result and not provide a comparison to SQL-as-it-would-manually-be-written, but the presentation doesn’t make it clear that that’s the purpose.
I am wondering at what point will governments step up and regulate social media, loot boxing, and other such digital-based addictive things just as they regulate other addictive things like drugs, alcohol, and gambling?

Different left wing and right wing parties have different positions on social issues, and these are unrelated to their position on left-right economic axis.

Here in Czechia, the most socially conservative party are christian democrats, who are center-left on economic issues, another very socially conservative party here is the (far-left) communist party,
Anders Hejlsberg says:

> "They're not going to handle any of these exceptions. There's a bottom level exception handler around their message loop. That handler is just going to bring up a dialog that says what went wrong and continue."

Anders doesn't think recovering from exceptions is a thing. That explains the design choices he made.
Perhaps it’s not complex. Still, it’s not easy.

It’s hard to know what approach to pick, or even which source to trust, especially when you’re starting.

And it’s extra hard to continuously manage and improve your security; even moving coins to cold storage.
Wicked, if anyone put a boot on my car and he was not employed by the city, I'd call the police to take care of it.
I was pondering about an idea for an app that will crowdsource prices of items and their development in the time. You know, to be aware when there is some product discount, but during the discount period, the original price is higher that usual which means customer is being mislead.

This practice, although prevalent, is not legal in EU [1]

The app would let you track prices for products in individual stores by scanning their EANs. You could see price development and website could show stores that use unfair pricing.

Seems doable to me but I may be missing some technical challenges that would come with implementing this approach.

I don't find this all that similar to the situation in the StackExchange post, tbh.

Yours is a situation where people in control of the goal posts changed said posts to avoid looking incompetent; OP situation is some kind of Trumpy boss directing an employee to outright lie to the government so the company can obtain a contract .
I disagree.

If you are a state actor trying to discredit or destroy cryptocurrencies, taking Satoshi's stash is the clear strategic target. You can simultaneously tank the value of the currency while also not exposing your method of breaking the crypto by taking his stash.

The fact that his stash remains is the clearest signal the crypto is not broken -- and the methods to create his wallet are the oldest / original ones when it comes to cryptocurrencies. A state-level actor would have absolutely moved his stash to easily create panic and remove competition against fiat currencies.

If a state actor can't do it, I highly doubt any other actor could. If some no-name independent researcher somehow figures out an exploit, then yes, it would be foolish to move Satoshi's stash. Better to target "dead" addresses that no one cares much about and won't have an impact -- these are wallets of people that have lost their keys who are not celebrities, so they wouldn't get any attention on them. You could take those funds and move them quietly so that you could make money.

Extremely unlikely possibility for a number of reasons, but anything is possible.
Oh, capitalism. The ol' people are simply resources to be mined approach.

People also do have the prerogative to buy from somewhere else, you know. It's up to the company if they'd like to keep customers or not.

How easy! Just have an Eidetic memory,
Typically a 'hot wallet' is something connected full time. He had a web browser extension (which turns on and off) and apparently connected it to ... speculating ... sign a transaction which maybe then allowed the draining.

Given you're willing to learn some code, I'd go with Flask — it's fairly easy to get started with IMO. It might be a better fit for more complex apps, but should be fine for marketing stuff as well. You do have to implement pretty much everything from scratch though (or, more realistically, use plugins).
tptacek is right that invocations of Galileo of that sort are usually a trope but a great thing about the trope (and about Galileo!) is that it almost always falls apart and argues against the point the trope-invoker is making. In your case - Galileo did not 'find the rings of Saturn'. He made some rather anomalous observations of Saturn which he could not explain. He published a 'claim hash' (in the parlance of our times) of his observation.

Galileo was one of the earliest practitioners of what we now call scientific method and even with that disadvantage, he was way better at simply making claims than the UFOlogists we're talking about here.

Gold is an nonreactive and pretty metal, which itself makes it valuable. People independently regarded it as valuable across different cultures for thousands of years.

Probably not but it would enable that sort of analysis should anyone find a way to easily automate that process someday. It’s one mechanism for feedback that probably not everyone has to do but a few could and their efforts would benefit the wider consumer base I’d imagine. If someone posted that raw data and analysis publicly that would be a website I’d visit from time to time.
It may be a typical informational website for a small agency with up to 3-4 tabs, presenting their services, a blog, some contact form. It may not need much animation or interactivity in the beginning. But optimization for mobile may be useful.

For my former Wordpress site I have several plugins, including SEO optimization. But you mean to not install even the Wordpress recommended plugins?

Entrapment with regard to that on instance, perhaps. But if you’re just looking to gather evidence related to the many other instances of boot unlocking, there’s no problem.

Go with the one you know. "WP got hacked" is (~99% of the time, when on a competently-run web host) a case of (1) Webmaster used an iffy WP Plugin* or few (the plugin was obscure/orphaned, and not getting timely security updates), (2) Webmaster didn't bother installing Plugin security updates, (3) Webmaster disabled WordPress' own automatic security updates, or (4) Webmaster wasn't smart about his admin password.

Charitably, in government terms that's not a lot of money, and given congress gets a new set of bumpkins and rubes every four years, having current rigorous data and evidence relating to the beliefs they might be bringing into the job seems like a wise use of funds.

The UAP thing is also mostly a lever for narrative control, where whenever the news gets a little too close for comfort, you can release some alien files and knock something out of the news cycle. $22-million gets you a whole bunch of dry powder for less than the cost of a crisis management firm on a political campaign. People will believe anything, and while you can rarely convince them otherwise, you absolutely can become the source for confirmations, and they'll follow whatever confirms their beliefs. Who cares what they actually believe so long as they're dependent on facts you control to believe it. That's just the game.
You're now at the point of completely fabricating new facets of the original story in order to justify your lies.

You are coming up with excuses like "well they couldn't possibly be aware of information that was widely avaliable in mass media since 2010 at least.

Very cool idea. It is similar to an auto gyro copter, causing the rotor to pull the tower instead of a traditional wind turbine where it is pushing it sideways. This is way more efficient. If winds get high the rotor pulls the construction upright, causing the plane of the rotor to be horizontal, which reduces its wind capture area and speed.

I'm guessing some actions that could be interpreted as abusive, could to some extent have been random. But internal communications tell you if they were random or planned out.

I think that maybe goes for going after the decision makers.

As for deciding if the company needs regulation or being broken up because it's operating as a monopoly, there I would agree with you. It wouldn't really matter if it just happened as an accident of the market, or as a planned outcome, if it creates a bad market dynamic, it should be corrected.

Funnily enough I've never worked with a dev that thought microservices were actually a good idea as a standard solution. My last brush with it is by proxy of one of my former teammates who has a client contract where the client insisted they do microservices for their app that fits in a t2small with 90% resources to spare and will for the foreseeable future. So far it's slowed down development to probably 25% or so of the speed it was before and 10% of what it should be.

When the current generation of politicians are dead or when something sufficiently drastic happens. It took EA being incredibly abusive with lootboxes in a game from a series as popular as Star Wars and the resulting backlash on Reddit going viral for some politicians to consider some investigations. Actually getting them to work on it seriously would take something even more drastic than that.
Even in the best case, where you create a flawless metric that cannot be gamed, it's typically just one aspect of the job.

If people get rated on that metric, they'll maximize it at the expense of the things that can't be measured.

But, there are tons of subtle ways to undermine metrics. Want to be the top salesperson each month? Give negative feedback to candidates for open positions that seem too strong.
Be honest. C to object code to linker to final binary are a MUCH bigger leap than PRQL to SQL.

For sure. I mean who knows how many big corps have been owned that we don’t know about. I suppose if you dump something like Gmail users, hypothetically, then there is no way Google wouldn’t cough up the money.

But by the looks of it a lot of these groups are after specific targets, for example - chipmakers. No way they want their secrets out in the public so they’ll happily pay up, especially if they are from places outside of the US.

I sometimes see on my Twitter feed, alerts of big Bitcoin transactions that are never disclosed publicly but are associated with well known laundering networks.
Such clear Game theory. If nobody pays ransom, the group suffers less over all. But targeted individuals suffer greatly. Targeted individuals have a high incentive to pay, which encourages more attacks on the group.

A previous company I worked for took the “high road”. Mostly cause the CIO was a delusional psychopath. She refused to pay the mere 1 mil ransom. Told the CEO the disaster recovery systems would bring the company back online in a few hours (everybody, except her apparently, knew the DR system was a total joke). Hackers wiped the encrypted drives of every machine in the company and said good day.

4 weeks later they had the website, basic email and server operations functioning again. 3 months later they had restored business continuity more or less.

She was fired a week after that.

I’m guessing it cost the company 10’s if not over 100 million.
> It’s done by private orgs, not the city. There is no ticket. Just a boot and a fine to pay to remove the boot.

So you can expect that "thanks" to these girls, the city will give authority to these third party companies to put a boot on the car and make it illegal to remove it? I don't foresee any other pro-people action: the easiest is to make it illegal to remove a boot.

However, storage costs alone would be astronomic. Like > 100,000 USD / month.
