"Coins on the chain" (i.e. unclaimed transaction outputs) are non-fungible, but you can combine multiple of these as inputs into a single new transaction, and in that sense, all transaction inputs are fungible, and by extension their outputs will be too.

So while there are technical differences between the "account" and the "UTXO" models, I doubt it would make any sense in an enforcement context.

You ask for help, but you don't tell us the sort of information we would need to help:

- Where are you?

- What education do you have?

- What work experience do you have?

- What other marketable skills do you have, if any?

- What family and friends do you have that could provide any support?
Nah, especially in tech, people are too invested in hating bitcoin. They'd have to admit to being wrong to change their tune, which will likely never happen.

How does a hotel not have a shower?

You sound depressed and you need to get numb and stoic and practical and focus on survival. Be grateful for minor successes and when people help you but dont indulge in all these negative emotions your expressing in your post...they are delusional.

All that matters to you right now is your practical day to day survival.

You will need to find a free shower. In the past I've used gym showers, shelter showers, beach showers, campground showers, marina showers, university gym showers, friends showers, etc. Call around and see if you can find a shower. Alot of times places like the YMCA or community center's or homeless shelters have sliding scale memberships. You have to call and explain your situation and see if you can het a free membership. Many times if they cant help they can guide you to someone who does.

You need food. Look around for soup kitchens, food banks, church food lines, apply for food stamps.

Most cities in America and I imagine Europe is similar..have a place you can go and apply for government social safety net services like food stamps, medical care, job search support... and they will give you a caseworker who can guide you through social safety net options your region offers.

Overall I need to emphasize...you need to remain stoic and practical all of these depressed thoughts youre posting are wrong and will destroy what limited confidence you have.
Yeah, beyond just competition just driving down prices generally, adding a new entrant into the market seems have the advantage that they can make their own, totally different product differentiation decisions.

This and chat control are the possibly the most terrifying things to happen in computing that I've ever seen.

The story you're thinking of is about Brian Wilson, the creative force behind the Beach Boys and one of the only real artists of the time who could arguably be considered a peer of The Beatles.

Personally I've never seen a really strong source for that story, only anecdotes. I think it's an oversimplification to say "Strawberry Fields" made Brian Wilson insane. Instead, he was in a mental decline already. The pressure of "Brian Wilson is a genius" was getting to him:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wilson_is_a_genius

There's a similar story with stronger sources, though. If you want to know about Brian's state of mind around that time, listen to his song Heroes and Villains. Basically, Brian worked on this song like it was his magnum opus, trying to reach the level of Sgt. Pepper. Quoting from Wikipedia (sue me):

> For Wilson, the single's failure came to serve as a pivotal point in his psychological decline, and he adopted the song title as a term for his auditory hallucinations.

> In the September/October 1967 issue of Crawdaddy!, journalist and magazine founder Paul Williams wrote that the song "originally had a chorus of dogs barking, cropped when Brian heard Sergeant Pepper, and was in many ways - the bicycle rider - a far different song."[39]

> Wilson held onto the final mix of the song for about a month. On the evening of July 11, 1967, he was told by his astrologer (a woman named Genevelyn) that the time was right for the record to be heard by the public. Without informing Capitol, Wilson called his bandmates and, accompanied by producer Terry Melcher, traveled by limo to personally deliver a vinyl cut of the record to KHJ Radio.[72] According to Melcher, as Wilson excitedly offered the record for radio play, the DJ refused, citing program directing protocols.[77][78] Melcher recalled: "Brian almost fainted! It was all over. He'd been holding onto the record [and] had astrologers figuring out the correct moment. It really killed him. Finally they played it, but only after a few calls to the program director or someone, who screamed, 'Put it on, you idiot!' But the damage to Brian had already been done."[79]

And this is all the tip of the iceberg. To have an even better understanding, you'd need to listen to the Smile! sessions, and the eventual 2004 "completed" recording of Smile!.

Personally, I think Brian was a genius (well, is; he's still alive, though not looking too good these days, sadly). But unlike The Beatles, who were four friends with an unbelievably tight bond (even after their breakup), Brian had no one else in the Beach Boys who could match him. And I think it was a weight on his shoulders, and that combined with the drug use (and likely a stroke at some point, which is obvious if you ever hear him speak post ~1968) brought his downfall.
Does anyone know where I can learn more about this microcosm?
I disagree with this as a given:
> Esport games are essentially defined by their demand for low network latency

It’s only a given because circumstances force and/or allow this.

Also, how do leagues and competitions account for a 30 ms vs 70 ms latency difference?

I ask this as someone middle-aged who immediately notices this difference, when playing
ladder PvP games.
That's actually a case against modern overfilled title bars.

"Real" title bars can be removed if not needed (e.g. by switching to another windowing manager like dwm on Linux with X11; not sure how it's done in Wayland or in Windows but there must be a way).

"Crowded" title-bar from Gnome can't be easily removed, because they are not managed by the window manager.
All four of them had keen ears, and could pick up anyone’s songs, almost effortlessly. That was thanks to their years playing 8 hour shifts in Hamburg. In their later work much of the time they didn’t know the names of the chords they were playing. And they didn’t really write down much at all. It’s very hard for me to reconstruct in my head how they could’ve created some of those crazy harmonies without at least scribbling down a bunch of note names.

As far as I am aware this is pretty far from accurate. Pretty much everything goes through the "Ordinary legislative procedure" where the comission proposes legislation and the parliament and council have to agree it (Codecision).

The council and commission can change stuff together without concent of parliament in very specialised areas (special legislative procedures), I think this only gets used for internal competion law and market regulation stuff.

In even more specialised areas the commission can change stuff on its own, as far as I know this is mostly restricted to agreeing trade deals and fixing specific tarrifs.

I can't comment on the corruption and alternative ways of pressuring MEPs. Those probably exist.

>If so what’s the advantage of paying using bitcoin?

People who ask this also ask that same question "what’s the advantage of owning bitcoin".

One example that i would like to give is that you can wrap bitcoin, and put it in a lending pool. I can then borrow up to 30-40% of the bitcoin at a very reasonable APR rate. (2-3%) Now this only works if you consider bitcoin an asset. This allows you to use this bitcoin as collateral for buying a car.

People can do the same thing with stocks, real estate, etc. But with bitcoin, i have no middle man and i do not have to be "approved" or take a "Credit hit" if i make to many inquiries.

I could see this leading to abuse through populism. A better way might be to track the number of vetoed laws brought in by each politician, and to have removal be an automatic consequence of too many. This would broaden the blast radius to everyone involved, making everyone accountable, while only going after repeat offenders.
Not higher than having to perpetually secure a network by computation; which taken to the extreme is essentially a sure-footed destination to causing a black hole by argument of having to use all available space for computational security and incentives.
It matters a lot if you try to sort on that column
I'm not so sold on the specific example they use here. The tool specifically says it is a proof of concept and only predicted 52% chance of AI generated. Using those signals to conclude that something is "likely AI generated" is a bigger problem from the evaluator, not the tool.

While this is abundantly clear with ML, it is far more general: metrics are guides, not answers. Metrics are models, and like all models are wrong (wrong != useless && wrong != incorrect). And no model/metric perfectly aligns with intent. This needs to be something drilled into every single person's head. There is always more than needs to be done after a machine spits out a number, a lot more. If all we do is take a number at face value then we're going to fuck up a lot of stuff (which we're doing a lot of)

There are plenty of other examples of ML creating noise in the war environment, even around citizen interpretations of those images. For example, I've seen accounts whos profiles are of people that don't exist and I could confidently tell you the style generator that made them without an ML classifier (if you work in generation and haven't looked at millions of ML generated photos go to the top of this comment). (this is not saying I'm not a noisy detector, just I know naturally some key mistakes that get made that are non-realistic and these photos weren't cleaned up in post)
Oh yes, more e-waste, more consumerism. We don't have enough of those. Sending text messages and viewing images requires a 90's supercomputer. It's fine.
It is unfortunate, but there are paths to success without UK policy encouraging it. Viking Link [1], a 1.4GW electrical interconnector between Great Britain and Denmark, comes online by end of year (it has already been added as an asset in the ENTSO-E electrical market transparency platform). At the same time, their last coal fired generator [Drax North Yorkshire] will be retired within the next year [2] (I emailed Drax to get a rough closure date, reply pending). Less than a million vehicles a year are built in the UK and about 2 million vehicles a year are sold in their market, compared to a global market of ~80M units/year. Importantly, those coal generators need to be demolished as soon as possible after decommissioning to prevent turning them back on (advocacy call to action: if you live near a decommissioned coal generator, push to have it demo'd unless there are very firm plans to convert them to high efficiency fossil gas generation).

Therefore, you would only need to find economic linchpins or similar points of leverage in the UKs fossil gas supply, automative supply chain and marketplace, and petroleum supplies to force a more rapid transition despite neglected policy. The rest of the global market will drag the UK, as California does in the US with regards to automative fuel efficiency standards.

A successful EV future depends on the continuing rapid expansion globally by Tesla and BYD [3] (as well as smaller players of course, if they can ramp expeditiously), not politicians or older constituents who could not care less about a future they won't exist in.

(also important is deploying as much inexpensive low carbon energy generation as possible as fast as possible, but is a topic for another thread [4])

> By passing new laws with the EC.

right, so it can't, thank you

> You act like the British Parliament can pass law without government approval. Spoiler alert: it can’t.

are you a time traveler from before the 1640s?

there was a civil war fought over this point, parliament won and is sovereign

the parliamentary majority and government are not the same thing

this should be obvious to anyone from the 2019-2020 mess where the government didn't have a majority

there is no government approval anywhere in the legislative process

most bills are proposed by government ministers (by the fact they also happen to be parliamentarians), but this is also not a requirement

bills can be proposed and passed into law entirely by parliament, they're called "private members bills"
> Doesn't mean you are forbidden to say what you want.

This confuses me.

Saying someone is "free to do X" normally means that X is allowed by law. Or else what could it possibly mean?
I find that people like to sooth themselves with thoughts like that. "They can never ban X", "I would just do Y".

The state can absolute ban anything. It bans certain plants! This surveilance doesnt have to be 100%.

Big nets catch many fish but never all.

However, if you find a way to defeat this on a scale that matters like if too many people started using VPN then they'd just ban VPN, too.

There are haves and then there are haves. The super rich have a much higher per person impact and they can afford to do things efficiently rather than cheap and polluting. Then global middle class also have a higher per person impact than the global lower class. So what if some people are unfairly targeting the “have nots”? We don’t have to let them drive the conversation and distract from real issues.
You're right, it seems like this is exclusive to the EuroCity between Munich and Zürich which is a cooperation of DB, SBB, and ÖBB.
“This” is holding out for the perfect paying job instead of taking the first thing that comes along temporarily and keep looking.

Say I’m looking for a job paying $200K and it takes me 3 months to find it. Now just to make $200K over the year, I need to have a job paying $266K.

Why hold out for the job, go through savings, and then when I finally get the job need to replenish my savings instead of just sucking up my pride taking a lower paying job and keep looking?

In my case, when I got Amazoned with a more than $40K severance package. My goal was to have some money coming in before I had to touch it.

I was willing to accept any old enterprise dev remote contract to keep the money flowing. I said in a previous reply that I did spam jobs left and right as a backup plan.

I ended up getting two offers with the type of job I wanted and my desired compensation target before even my 10 days of paid PTO (on top of the severance) was depleted. But that was dumb luck and having contributed to a few official open source “AWS solutions”

I don't know the details of California's system, but generally in places that use these kind of systems you can dispute the ticket. That gets you a hearing where the government that sent the ticket has to prove the violation under the appropriate standard of proof.

Your accuser is not the camera and associated systems that automatically mailed you the ticket. Your accuser is the government that sent you the ticket, and you can face them at the hearing.

The camera is just evidence that your accuser will use at the hearing to establish the violation.
But it isn’t a differentiator if you can’t make people care about the difference.
Is crypto is excellent for that? Might be.

Is it actually used at the moment? I doubt it.

How many people been charged for bypassing sanctions? How many companies been sued for or fined for this? 100? 200?

EU companies still helping Russia to increase their military production and keep selling parts for heavy machinery. Husband of president of Estonia owned a business transporting whatever in and out of Russia during the war and no one gave a damn.

No one care. Nothing is enforced. Sure banning some crypto will help.

The Japanese did these "type-in" source code listings really well, much better than I saw growing up in England. They eventually adopted entering complicated listings as hex code with checksums, which was both faster and less error prone but of course less readable. The bootstrap code would spit out the line where the error was when the checksum failed and you could easily correct in small groups.
That’s a pretty reasonable point. It’s much easier to increase bandwidth than latency too[1] so often caring about latency can be important.

0. Another thing people may want to optimise for is performance per watt, but I won’t say much more about it.

1. There are cases where bandwidth optimisations are latency optimisations, eg if you can fit more of your processes onto one box, you are reducing the average distance between the processes and whatever they talk to and hence average latency

2. A very obvious thing to do when optimising for latency is increase bandwidth enough that the bandwidth doesn’t throttle you

3. I feel like mostly if you are aggressively optimising latency, there isn’t much Linux tuning to do. Maybe I’m wrong – I don’t really know much about this – but I think it’s mostly pinning to a core, running tickles, doing user space networking, and then hardwarey things like tuning page size, SMT, power-saving settings, and other things like choice of hardware.
