But how do you know that someone will be an above average manager, relative to others with a similar track record, pedigree, firm handshake or whatever? Of course the answer is that we don't know, it's spending tens of millions of dollars for a chance at getting an above average leader, and maybe ending up with a below average one instead.

"Talent" is an interesting way to put it. There has to be buy-in on the other end, of course. Being realistic: how far would he have gotten shilling his pump-and-dump as someone with a similar background who was

>black

>a woman

>disabled

>short

>lacking his luscious head of hair

? I think the reality distortion field tends to fail in those cases. His product was a sham and his brand cratered when that was exposed, so it's probably wrong to call him "talented" in that regard. Rather, it's more correct to say he possessed qualities (earned and not) that, even today, inspire positive feelings in many. That's unassailable, as we sit here today talking about someone who objectively ruined thousands of lives as someone with "real talent" and not potential "guillotine fruit" or a "cement shoe male model."
"Comparison with Baselines" is shocking
Yes, common. Additionally, most americans cannot afford a car payment under 10% of their take home monthly income. But most people do not actually follow this advice, which makes the situation worse.

The fact of the matter is that the take home pay for someone making $40K is ~2,300. 10% is $230/mo, which you cant even get a lease for anymore...But people need cars, so they are overleveraged.
Wow. The use case that comes to mind for me is when you take a big family photo (or 20) and someone inevitably ends up cut-off by accident.

So then you just feed RealFill the 20 pictures you took and your uncle is magically painted in.
All people here are saying is that it's worth taking a breath before jumping on the rage train. HN posts like this usually end up going full rage mode for a few hours before someone finally digs up the rest of the story, so I'm relieved to find that this one got nipped in the bud.
It is interesting, because while the shock does get weaker in relative terms it's getting stronger in absolute terms. i.e. a billion dollar shock to a billion dollar asset is relatively bigger than a 100 billion dollar shock to a 500 billion dollar asset (bitcoin's current "market cap"), but the latter requires 100x the size of wealth flow.

The next supply shock will also be interesting in its own right, specifically because it will plunge bitcoin's inflation rate to below that of gold, from 1.7% now to 0.84% in 7 months. If nothing else, that will re-highlight bitcoin's digital gold narrative and potentially pull in more wealth flow that otherwise might have flowed into store of value assets like gold.

Bitcoin at current price and inflation rate requires $9 billion per year net inflows to absorb newly mined coins. In 7 months after the halving, it will only require $4.5 billion per year to maintain it's current price of $27,000. So, either it's net inflow will suddenly cut in half and the price will stay the same, or the current net inflow of $9 billion will force the price up until it reaches equilibrium, which usually triggers a market frenzy as outsiders see the gains and pile in.

For some context with gold, there theoretically exists about $200 billion of wealth flowing into it each year just to absorb newly mined gold and keep the price stable.

Would be more convincing if the in-house promoted CEO wasn't that rare a sight. I guess it's a popular theory amongst those second-levels, on the surface because it tells them of that 5x future, but deep inside perhaps more because it paints them as almost super-human productivity outliers.

I think I can speak for many many people who casually read Wikipedia articles by asking: how does one go about practically learning the IPA, so as to be able to read (not even write) something like that? every time I come across a Wikipedia article that uses IPA to explain pronunciation, it's wholly inscrutable gibberish, completely useless if there isn't a listen-to-someone-saying-it button.

I know it's a personal piece. I'd prefer if the author used ungendered language, but my amount of upset about that not happening is close to zero. I'm not the language police.

I do, however, very much object to folks moving goal posts on a discussion. OP commented on 60s language because it was gendered. Apply whatever value judgment you want to that statement, agree, disagree, whatever you need to do - but it was never a discussion about "helping a spouse is bad".

That was the point. Let's stop debating things that have never been said, we have Twitter for that.
Add in coding gain over 1 second (a code 10 million chips long), and that gives you an extra 70dB. Now it's getting hard to jam.

Downside: This only works if your movement over the 1 second period is predictable, to a small part of a wavelength. If you're moving unpredictably, you'll have to give up a few db's of coding gain.
As someone else posted in the thread earlier, FSF has professional staff that work on PR etc. Please note that it is a small non-profit and they cannot afford a big marketing department, partially because their ideals hinder growth to a huge degree (e.g. even Linus is on record suggesting you should donate to EFF not FSF.) It is not surprising that big corporate donors will also avoid donating when they have pages undermining Netflix, Spotify, Google, FB, even Canonical/Ubuntu and pretty much everyone with deep pockets.
>>Remarkably, two recent discoveries from around 1500 BCE do show scribes using the alphabet. But these exceptions prove the rule, because these scribes used alphabetic writing just as sloppily or playfully as its other users did. In an obscure ostrakon from Thebes and a handful of looted cuneiform tablets we find surprising confirmation that even professional writers used it unprofessionally.

Perhaps they were early physicians?
> You're suggesting that me controlling my own network, and people controlling their own networks, is bad ("even when you are the owner of a network, you shouldn't have control of traffic on it between endpoints that you don't own either of").

Should your ISP be allowed to censor what you can see on the Internet? Remember they own the network that all of your traffic flows through.

> You're suggesting that applications and Trojans have the "right" to be free from my control, on my network, on my machines. Wow. What a take!

I'm not arguing that anything on your machines should be free from your control. I'm specifically saying that traffic passing through your network but not from or to one of your machines should be free from your control.

> You're saying that all programs, Trojans included, will allow us to configure DoH. Again, a pretty crazy take, and completely, unambiguously wrong.

I meant all legitimate programs do. Trojans obviously do whatever they want, and that was the case even before DoH existed.

> You clearly don't care about freedom, since you actively want to send your DNS to some third party.

You're always sending your DNS requests to some third parties. The only question is which.

> But you'd have me give up my freedom to control what goes on on my network because some ISPs track DNS, and instead of addressing that, you're for the idea of normalizing a protocol that removes my freedom and puts it in the hands of application / Trojan makers.

I disagree that "my freedom to control what goes on on my network" is a freedom that should be protected. For an extreme example, consider that someone complaining "they took away my freedom to own slaves" is obviously in the wrong. As I've said before, you should only have any control of traffic for which one of the endpoints is yours.

> It harms regular people because it exfiltrates private information that they don't know about. Someone installs Firefox (very common) and doesn't know about DoH (also very common). Now their DNS lookups are all going to Cloudflare. We have no reason to trust Cloudflare (we do have plenty of reasons to not trust them, though).

Most American ISPs are way less trustworthy than Cloudflare, and that's where almost everyone's DNS would be going otherwise.

> But the point is that these regular people DON'T KNOW and haven't agreed to have their DNS data shared with Cloudflare. This has all sorts of negative implications that I'm sure you can't see.

Do regular people even know what DNS is? Did they agree that their ISP could see their insecure DNS?

That said, while it is extremely rare to find a CEO that truly inspires (ala Steve Jobs), there are a lot of CEOs that can really tank a company. So many only want to siphon money as fast as possible before bailing out, so there is a danger in hiring a cut rate CEO.
You get offers for roles at 5x your pay. You tell your boss and she says "Fine I'll match it." (Assume for the sake of argument you are not lying. Further please ignore the fact that your boss might be foolish to make that offer, that may be true but it's beside the point I'm making here.)

Now go home and tell your spouse and children that "I could earn a salary five times higher than what I am currently making, but I've chosen not to."

I wonder if graph search algorithms such as described on this site(https://www.redblobgames.com/pathfinding/a-star/introduction...) have applications in other strategies.

Consider a game like Age of Empires. In the beginning you might be able to defend your village by building walls around it. For an attacker, there is a high cost to go through the wall. But when cannons are invented, suddenly the cost of going through the wall drops.

Is there a way to model this? Can you draw a graph of the terrain that looks different before and after the invention of cannon?
> You can't shine a spot light on the back of a person's head to blind them.

You can, if the spot light is strong enough, and the person in question isn't floating in deep space. Just keep adding power until the light reflected by the person's surroundings is strong enough to blind them.

I find it baffling that to get exemption you need to win a less prestigious event than the official one. If you won worlds in league of legends you would no get the exemption no matter how many times you won it. Faker won it three times the most anyone has ever won yet as far as i know he still must eventually go to the military.

In a way this system robs legendary athletes from one additional year in which they can show they still have it. If you wait one year you might miss your window and no longer have the skills to compete in the guy.

Are those pings that require immediate attention? In my experience, no.

The vast majority of time in my career, if you have a minimum amount of decent planning, you won't get blocked because you can't talk to another person immediately. And on healthy organizations, even if you do get blocked, you can simply work on something else while that particular task is blocked.

If you really scrutinize all these availability claims, they pretty much all come down to lack of planning.

Planning for blockers, planning for communication gaps, planning for maximizing asynchronous work, planning for decisions that require specific people, etc.

So many people are horrified by the word "blocked" when it's most times an artificial block created by their own systems. If I can't move forward on something, I'll start on something else and come back to the other one later.
I can see why they'd want to support local time zone formatting. Even setting to UTC is merely covering up the problem that if you have a string like "2023-09-29 09:26:43.927", that does not indicate a particular point in time any better than my friend across the world proposing a Zoom call "at 8PM today."

Sorry in advance for not answering right to your question, but you may check sources of ManGOS/TrinityCore/family WoW servers for that.

In short, from what I know, yes, quests are stored in "quest log" fields of character data in server DB, and they are tracked by the clients and checked by the server. Some simple auto quests like "find this item" are not even tracked by server and only stored on completion. Since both client and server have all game data, the client knows about all possible quests and only shows to the player what is appropriate at a current state.
FWIW, dang, while I know guidelines are to post specific things for me personally “check out this collection of interactive tutorials” is actually a lot more interesting/helpful than linking to a single tutorial, especially when it’s not clear from that tutorial it’s part of a collection larger collection.

Generally I feel like links to collections of stuff do well when they are interesting and don’t when they aren’t and that you modding to a specific example isn’t actually improving quality.
