No, people who took those are just morons.

I'll leave it up to the finance people to come up with interesting instruments to take advantage of these kids. Maybe their bank accounts will just become money market accounts that are tied to leveraged ETFs.

I think abstracting away their real life money into a crypto that is worth 1/10th of the dollar is a good way to go. Make that crypto the exclusive currency for their habits (games, social media) so they have no choice but to convert to it. Easy way to part them from their real earnings that way.

There's easy money here if you are ruthless. If you print your own crypto for their habits, you can effectively act like the US Fed. Just inflate away the value of their coins every time. It's a no brainer.
It always amazes me how some places worked out socialised health care and other places really, really didn't.

You would expect developed nations to all land within a few percentile of each other on major issues but for whatever reason the gap is enormous here.

If you want to convert a postscript file (or .eps) to PDF you can use ImageMagick:

convert -density 300 input.ps -quality 100 output.pdf

If you're interested in this kind of thing, I packaged a lot of functionality (including zip files) into an open source doc viewer called "chai" (that also works on mac, install deps via brew).

Please note its focus is on security rather than looks so it converts docs to page images that you then view in (an optionally local) web client.

You can easily modify the convert process to move it to PDF rather than page images tho. Check it out: https://github.com/dosyago/chai
They had already promised to abide by the terms of the license in force at the moment it was agreed to, so the fact that they promised not to do something does not stop them, apparently.

People don't first decide which casino to go to, they decide to first go to Vegas and then decide which casino to go to. If Vegas's reputation is ruined, overall traffic to casinos in general would decline.

If Vegas were to allow casino cheating (i.e. by refusing to regulate), if Casino A is revealed to have been cheating, then a player who plays and loses at (actually) honest casino B might have doubt (unreasonable as it may be) that their losses are legitimate. They may decide to make a fuss, complain, broadcast to their social networks that their losses were due to casino cheating. Even if casino B was actually honest, casino B now needs to constantly defends its reputation for fair play. At best, this represents an ongoing cost; at worst, casino B will lose all its traffic due to rumors that spin out of control. An honest reputation is indefensible in such an environment.

The most profitable arrangement for all casinos involved is to prioritize long-term profits and cooperate with strong policing, such that Vegas as a whole (and thereby their casino individually as well) is publically perceived as offering fair odds.
Neither. The US’ wars in both places predate general availability “smart” devices by quite some time.

There were devices like black berries and tmobile sidekick, and gps trackers from garmin (etc) but I think the incidents you were referring to happened much later (2018 vs 2001/2002).

EMPs are a fantasy. Absolutely and unreservedly a complete fantasy. ZERO have ever been tested, and there’s literally a better use for a nuclear warhead. Not only is it a a completely hypothetical attack, it would look identical to a normal nuclear ICBM attack, and absolutely would result in a traditional retaliatory attack. Why would anyone trade an EMP for all their cities? Literally doesn’t make sense. No one in the nuclear arms control world takes it seriously. It’s a boogeyman for defense contractors and grifters, but I repeat myself.

All that said, GPS denial is a very real thing, and has been repeatedly demonstrated in an operational context. It’s relatively trivial to do. You just need a regular ground based antenna, and not a particular strong transmitter because satellite signals are weak. Just broadcast a different timing signal and voilà! You now tricked someone into thinking they’re 50 miles away from where they really are.

It used to be the case that anything that the Constitution didn't allow the government to do was considered not allowed. Too bad now it's the opposite - anything the Constitution doesn't explicitly prohibit it to do, it feels free to. And anything it does prohibit - like regulating speech - it does anyway, in a roundabout way. But at least we got all the problems they promised us to solve this way, actually solved, right?
I used to get some great stuff from icebreaker too, but after they were acquired by VF (also owners of Vans and North face), surprise, surprise, pretty much zero purchases since.
> [...] sort of implies that open source engines can be used fine to target consoles.

That was my intention.

> The fact developers have been able to ship Godot games on console doesn’t help much [...]

Well, it demonstrates that it's entirely possible, either via DIY, hiring an in-house specialist or contracting to one of the companies who has already implemented the functionality.

> [...] unless those developers are willing to share whatever proprietary engine-to-console-SDK-interface code they wrote.

The third party porting companies are willing to "share" that code--for a fee. They could also do the same for free as long as they respect the terms of their contract with the console platform (which probably is along the lines of "don't disclose anything to people who don't also have a contact with the console platform").

A group of companies could even cooperate on this but we'd presumably not know the details.

> Unity and Unreal, in contrast, will happily license equivalent code to you.

Sure, but it's also neither free[0] nor Open Source, e.g.:

"Build and deploy to closed platforms such as Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®, and Xbox®. An active Unity Pro subscription is required to access these build modules via developer platform forums."

The nuance of "it is not possible for Godot to support consoles as an open source project" is that "it is not possible for [the] Godot [Project] to support consoles as an open source project [but the Godot Engine can be used on consoles if you write the support code yourself or license it from someone]".

Despite detailed explanations (from the devs) of the nuances, too many people interpret the situation as "you can't deploy Godot-based games on consoles" rather than "you can deploy Godot-based games on consoles but you can't get the code to do so from the Godot Project itself because vendors won't let it".

But perhaps for some people this isn't a significant distinction.

This is pretty screwed up, because it kind of trains your brain to be a gambling brain. To crave the instant gratification, the high of risk taking etc.

I think the time has come when android and ios should make a special versions of their online shops for children and teenagers and simply ban those types of games from those shops. This will at least prevent children from having their brains rewired. Of course this will remove the vast majority of games from the online shops, but so be it.

I remember my experience with these types of games. I wasted a lot of time and got a lot of needless frustration but I never once paid those bastards a single cent. There was a game called Candy Crush Saga. It was very popular in its day. Their in game super power currency was something called "lollipop hammers." They made one candy disappear. It seemed a pretty simple game, assuming the game boards (i.e., the candys) were randomly generated, but of course they weren't. They were carefully created so that they present problems that are very difficult to solve under the game's usual rules but were easy and downright delightful to solve using a lollipop hammer.

I would look at the gameboard for a long time and imagine all the great combos I would achieve, if I could only get rid of a single pesky candy, but alas, one had to use a lollipop hammer for that. I actually ended up having a lot of respect for the designers, it was not easy to design a board that would be incredibly difficult unless one candy was removed but if that candy was removed, it would all solve itself in an explosion of combos and extra points.

I was very proud that I solved so many of these boards without using a single lollipop hammer. But my reward would always be a board that is even harder and where the temptation to use the hammer was even greater. Eventually I decided that this is simply torture. I did not mind hard puzzles, I liked solving hard puzzles, but the temptation of the lollipop hammer being always there and me having to constantly use willpower to avoid clicking on those hammers made the whole experience miserable.

So quit and deleted the game, but I can proudly say that I never paid for a single lollipop hammer and I left 8 of the 10 hammers you get for free unused. I hope some random King employee looked at my cancelled account with so many puzzles solved and yet so few lollipop hammers used and felt a little pang of defeat. But I doubt it.

Actually seems kind of brilliant.

Wonder how much - very expensive - medication is wasted in the world.
The EU passed NIS2 cybersecurity directive which establishes a certification framework for ICT products and services. This is how they could push CSAM: make it a requirement in the certification process for a certain class of products and services. If a given product or service fails to pass the cert, it might not be legal to sell it in the EU.

https://certification.enisa.europa.eu

This would also stifle innovation, create more bureaucracy and a market for paper pushing consulting companies, raise the bar for small companies who can't afford certification expenses, degrade the time to market of ICT producs and freeze ICT products and services in their current state as to not trigger re-certification.
Good point! But of course, someone who takes that view would not spend $60 on a case — they'd spend $10. If you've paying a premium price, you're doing it for the aesthetics (or Otterbox-level protection, not applicable here).

M57 and M57E1 ATACMS only has a range of about 300 km, while Moscow is 50% further at 430-460 km. Ukraine would need serious SRBMs to hit enough Russian strategic targets. Domestic Hrіm-2 is possibly operational and in manufacture in limited quantities. If I were part of the Ukrainian military brass, I would volunteer fielding experimental systems in development like PrSM.

George Shultz and Gorbachev are correct: one dangerous turn in world policy has been the rollback of the INF treaty and tit-for-tat brinksmanship.

“Our entire belief in objects,” [Bergson] wrote in Creative Evolution (1907), “indeed rests upon the idea that time does not bite into them."

The only "objects" I know of that time does not "bite into" are mathematical abstractions such as integers, or God existing outside of time. No physical entity (Einstein was concerned, after all, with physics) escapes being embedded in time. Can love transcend time? Only to the degree it, like mathematics, transcends physics.
I feel I became much better at writing non-fiction after taking math at university (mainly calculus, linear algebra and statistics).

Going through proofs and proving things on your own really transferred to being able to better present arguments. The diversity of the math I learned has helped to reflect on things from different perspectives.

In sum this helped with everything from thinking more and better about the core issue at hand, writing argument chains in the correct order, cutting down on irrelevant stuff and more.

I've used this to significantly help the grades of both my SO and a family member, who both took non-math topics, by improving their hand-ins. I didn't know their field so was strictly improving the structure and presentation, and asking for clarifications where I felt the arguments didn't add up, and have them write down the answer.

I feel it still helps me a lot writing emails at work and similar.
I’m unsure this is a business story more than a technology story. At $1370 profit for $1000 computing, it seems like an extension of already-narrowly-channeled Chinese influencers into late night infomercials.

Maybe competing with deepfakes will necessitate ever more dramatic and manic expressions over depressingly banal products.

Maybe the state’s massive face landmark database will empower a revolving cottage industry of influencer-alikes to drive down the GPU model size needed for convincing deepfakery.
You're talking about national politics or state-level politics in big states like California. The mayor of a random town with 50,000 people is not getting a million dollars donated to their campaign by anybody.

It is actually the local voters who decide who governs the town. But when residency in the town requires you to own a house, the existing residents vote for people who make housing prices go up.
Most pharmacies in the US will count out each pill/mL. Most insurers will not pay for more than three months at a time and so the pharmacy won't give you more than 90 days * your daily dosage.
I used to take an as-needed medication that would build up in times when it wasn't needed if I just let the pharmacy autofill everything that "should" be used up.

If another disease like the first COVID wave comes along I'll damn well vote out any politician who doesn't support lockdowns.

It's been a meme for a long time that certain majors have little economic value, the entire liberal arts major joke is just one example of this.

It's a minute old comment and already flagged and dead. Kill the killers. This is hell. Folks opposed to discourse should not be welcome in hacker circles. This happens far too often. Disgraceful.

It's just so cowardly biased. I'll gladly take my licks if ya'll can say anything, have a discourse here. But it's so unhackerly to just mute out that which is inconvenient. And that's what keeps happening in this site. That's what's going on. I'm getting murdered slower than the last guy, but again, but again no debate, no discussion, just suppression.
I'm curious, how much time would you say you spend on a set of personal machines, versus connecting to random hosts?

My conceptualization of "personal computing" is something more akin to a home or a garden. It's a place where I should feel comfortable and relaxed. Familiar. It's a refuge of sorts, a place where I will inevitably spend an inordinate amount of time, and actually have a lot of real life experiences reflected (through the form of personal writing). Whether working, reading or writing, I tend to think of these machine contexts really as extensions of and foils for my mind. A discoverable mind palace, if you will.

In the old days one would bet in a game of chess an amount significant to ones wealth or your manhood would be in question.

> From a 'Mansuba' - A Shatranj problem had this story:

> There once was a chess-addicted prince, Murwardi, who had wagered and lost his entire fortune in an intense chess session. In his desperation he offered his beautiful wife Dilaram as stake, and was losing the game they were playing for her. In the above position his wife called out to him: "Oh Prince, sacrifice your rooks and not your wife." This her husband duly did and saved her with a combination.

People skip or miss doses (hey, the problem the thread topic is trying to solve) and then pharmacies will auto-fill perscriptions that should be empty. Some people are on as-needed medications that also get auto-filled. I posted some more in a sibling comment.
> If I need the preponderance of the evidence to find you liable, you were presumed not liable. Obviously the presumption is not as strong as clear and convincing or reasonable doubt, but there’s no reason to say that there is no presumption of a sense of liability under this standard.

Preponderance doesn't mean "a lot", it means "more than the opposing evidence", and during a trial the balance sways between both parties multiple times.

There is no presumption of innocence, as all it takes is for one party to make a claim and the other party to not explicitly deny that claim for the balance of probabilities to be in favour of the party that made the claim.

If I sue in in civil court, with a claim of "He called me a dirty cheating embezzler, which hurt my relations with my investor" and you simply don't show up, you may lose.

If you do show up and refuse to argue your case, you will* lose.

If you show up and argue "no I didn't", then the balance of probabilities is back in your favour.
