Covered according to what source? The ones the insurances provide?

Because the single most frequent complaint I hear about insurance is them deciding that something which they claim to cover, and should cover, they're suddenly no longer going to pay for because of some bullshit excuse.

It's one of the reasons doctors have to waste hours of their time every week getting "prior authorizations" for things the insurance claims they will cover.

Funny how every time an event happens where people would probably love to sell BTC and cash out these oh-so-great crypto marketplaces always have some issues why customers can't cash out on mass. It's so predictable at this point it's crazy how it's not criminally investigated yet.
WinRAR is heavily entrenched in the PC space since the early Warez/DC++/BitTorrent days when storage and internet bandwidth was scarce so media was split in smaller files compressed as tightly as possible, preferably self extracting as well.

So any pirated content you'd download 20+ years ago was almost guaranteed to be RAR archived. Or sometimes even WinACE [1], anyone remember that one? It was awesome as well. Seems like the early 2000's was a war of compression formats similar to VHS vs Betamax decades earlier.

If you go on older established torrent trackers you can still find original torrents/content archived in RAR or ACE formats. Like Disney's Hercules for example.

MP4 works fine, but different ways of creating/editing/preparing video all have different ideas about how to produce a video file, and the people operating them don't always have the technical background to even know there's a difference. YouTube offers a simple solution: drag any video file in any weird format to the upload modal, and you never have to think about it.

https://blog.youtube/inside-youtube/new-era-video-infrastruc...

You're right that all the major video hosts offer it too, and I think GCS/AWS/Cloudflare all have APIs for it, but YouTube does it for free without requiring you to have any clue about all this stuff.

I've got a couple thousand bitcoin in self-custody, mined out of curiosity a couple days after Satoshi's initial announcement.

The key is of course lost, but not to worry; I printed it out on a sheet of paper, which I buried in the garden of my dead grandmother's home. It's underneath the chicken coop. Anyone want to go digging?
I was just thinking about what the alternatives to nuclear would have been, had it not been created. (Purely hypothetical, as I know it would require a vastly different timeline of scientific discovery to avoid nuclear entirely.)

Would we still have an equivalent war deterrent today without nuclear? What would it look like?

My guess is something biological. My tongue-in-cheek guess would be something zoological (laser sharks anyone? pigeon pirahna hybrids?)
I have no idea why people use Coinbase. They charge exorbitant fees and will lock your account at the drop of hat if you try to cash out.
I don't think that the driver implements VP9 in software. It uses hardware acceleration to perform the actual encode/decode, but is managing preparing of coefficients and DMA of data buffers in the driver.

(mod N) is an operator which indicates that the arithmetic in the preceding formula or equation is understood as taking place in a modulo N congruence.

A triple equal sign is usually used for modular equations. That triple equal sign, together with the (mod N) out to the right, constitute an operator.

-1 ≡ 9 (mod 10)

Since it is written as part of the syntax of a formula or equation, and modifies its semantics, it is an operator. Just like d/dx, sigma notation and whatever not.
The FTC is correct here, but they aren't doing enough to stop the food these companies are buying.

The reason they're _actually_ looking at that system is that we're looking directly down on it so we can see the orbits of all the planets at once. It has nothing to do with thinking the orbits are unnatural.
Yes. I mean a lot of the more frequent ones are things like comics that are fast to read. A few of them I mostly skim headlines. But I do read/watch most of them start-to-finish. Not as-they-happen, often I build up quite a backlog but on average I get through it. Right now I am sitting at basically zero items to read/watch.

One exception is my "Background Videos" category which I get a bit more than I watch. I also probably delete half based on just looking at the title. They are mostly speedrun videos that I play while doing light work. I am currently watching videos from January and falling behind a little. But It is easy to both get more selective in the ones I watch and clean it out if I get way too behind.
Bitcoin liquidated 8% in an hour. Likely someone closed a very large position. But the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that they shorted at the high stopped their users from selling. Now many users would panic sell their long positions after being down 5-8%. And coinbase closes its short position.
If the wireless last mile option costs $500/household then you'll get destroyed by a competitor who can come in and offer the same or better service at substantially lower cost. So yes, it does matter.

I'm not sure what you mean by "overbuild" here. I mean it in the sense that both AT&T Fiber and Verizon provide services to the same homes. US policy notionally tries to encourage this (because, you know, markets solve everything) but if you have 100K homes and 40% of them get service regardless, having 2 competitors means each ISP has to recoup their costs from half as many homes.

That might be true for you, but truly there is a lot of silly/low hanging fruit support questions.
I have not heard of anything indicating they themselves released patches fixing issues with ToTK - only that other people made patches for that which the Yuzu team refused to accept until ToTK release. I don't see how random people making patches for an open source project should make the project liable for the existence of the patches.
Isn't the whole purpose of golfing to write compact in higher level languages? If writing the lower level is too hard, it's no different to jars, pyc, or x86 files.
Considering neither WinRAR or 7-zip update themselves automatically, and most people never bother to update them manually, I'm not sure that's any worse than the status quo. The libraries bundled into Windows at least could be kept up to date by Windows Update.
Yes, it’s utterly nonsensical if you truly believe in the original goals of Bitcoin.
I mean, it's for speculators speculating on the price. Crypto is too volatile to use as a currency. Like would you buy a pizza with your NVDA shares? No. You just hold them in the brokerage and turn them into cash when the price meets your target. People are using Coinbase to do exactly that with crypto.

Lol, that reminds me of another fun one.

Every so often my company would provide lunches for the developers. However, they didn't want to spend too much money doing this. So how did they resolve it? They put together a committee of devs to discuss lunch options/etc. Easily 1+million/year of salary in one room debating whether we do Jimmy Johns or McDonalds and how they'd get the food to the office.

For $2000, you can get some pretty nice catering for 100 people. But like you said, people just seem bad at thinking of that sort of big picture.
No, that is not at all why.

There are avenues for billing via consult (eg doc to doc conversations), but what you claim is very far from the truth.
GitHub is also a centralized service that defeats the purpose of using decentralized technology. People will use centralized services when they contribute value in excess of the loss of value from being less decentralized.

Glacier IS a cheap way to backup data, in fact the cheapest of you ignore the scam "$200 for life" type things. It's about $1 per TB per month.

It's not cheap to restore though, at about $90 minimum per TB.

So it's best as part of a 3-2-1 system, not for frequent restores.
Everyone is saying it's entrapment but y'all need to read the article:

* The agency's position is that recovery is part of the activity of hunting.

* The state law prohibits the use of spotlights for hunting during either of the hunting seasons.

* The drone operator was cited when he used a light on the drone to highlight a live deer.

* There's no indication as to what type of light was on the drone.

* The article doesn't provide the definition of a spotlight is under the law.

* The article states that the law allows recovery of game at night.

* There's currently legislation to legalize and define legal use of drones for hunting.

* Law enforcement is being accused of inconsistent enforcement of the law.

I guess my question is, how do you recovery a deer at night without a light? Is there a definition of spotlight and differentiates it from any other light that might be used to recover a light?
And reaping record profits apparently.
I think it's mostly that people didn't read the article. The planets are interesting to study because of the angle we're looking at them and for no other reason. They happened to be aligned in such a way that we can get interesting measurements from them.

The male BYU students in the study are performing masculinity. They're claiming to look straight ahead, turning neither to the right nor to the left, because they think that's what Real Men do.

(This is a dumb hypothesis. But there's nothing in the study that allows us to refute it. I'm just saying the study could be improved).

Good. These are already two giant grocery store corporations, there's little reason to support this and a lot of reasons to oppose.

We need more competition, not less. Really wish we could get Aldi or Lidl up in the PacNW. Yeah, there's Trader Joe's as a pseudo-Aldi owned by Aldi, but I'd love the real thing too.
There is a pretty good argument to be made that asking someone to imagine walking in these scenes and click on areas of interest/concern is at least a partial proxy for where they will actually look when placed in that context. It is not reasonable to wholesale dismiss studies and their results simply because you think they could have operationalized their hypothesis differently or better. These undergrads did a pretty respectable job within the scientific resources at their disposal, and have presented a real result; now science must grapple with what that result is telling us and why these differences occurred. Moreover, one could argue that to your point, if clicking is not actually looking then why is there a difference at all? It's just clicking on a picture right?

yeah, but there are still a lot of constants even with the si units, which is because they predate the discoveries of many of the constants. more constants generally means more arithmetic operations you can accidentally leave out of your program and constants you can get wrong. this was a bigger concern in the slide-rule era, but the humans are still infallible, so it hasn't gone away entirely

i don't think it makes sense to describe miles or meters or stoney lengths as 'wrong' or 'right'; you can express the fitzgerald contraction or orbital speed or whatever equally well with any of the three, but one of them simplifies the fitzgerald contraction somewhat

Yeah, and the same logic applies to traditional banks. You control billions of dollars, your threshold for mistakes is very small.

I had the same problem with Kubuntu. I switched to kde-neon and pretty much all of my problems went away. XFCE is awesome though.
My guess is biological, too.

And in the short-term future, I think synthetic biology will represent an even greater threat than nuclear.

Why? Lethality, ease of manufacture once figured out, mishandling of process or materials, lack of regulation, ethnic/DNA targeting, etc.
I had the exact same question when I saw the post.
Sanity prevailed. It’s not like we need to be gouged even harder for the trash they mostly sell. If folks are still going to “American” grocery stores, go to a local Korean grocery store to see what groceries should look like. Large assortment of fairly inexpensive fresh produce, good meats, some even attractively priced, lots of fresh (even live!) fish and seafood. What prevents Kroger from not giving everyone diabetes, IDK.

"The Nakba" was a result of the war begun by Arabs. Without that war, there would have been no "Nakba". Israel invited the local Arabs to participate in the new nation. Some Arabs took them up on the offer, and they and their descendents live as full Israeli citizens today. Some chose to flee because they listened to their leaders who did not have their best interests at heart. Some of those who fled returned and some became refugees. Those who chose to fight or were historically responsible for pograms were expelled. That is the Nakba in a nutshell. Blaming Israel for the "Nakba" is self-pitying ahistorical revanchism full stop. The Nakba was FAFO in action, a lesson that is apparently difficult for Palestinians to understand.

The point of crypto isn't to force decentralization, it's to permit it. If you'd like to keep your crypto on a service like Coinbase, you have that freedom. Alternatively, if you'd like to self-host your crypto, you also have that freedom. The option is the whole point.

Either way most people still need somewhere to buy it if they don't have any, which is what Coinbase is primarily for.
You assume people buy Bitcoin because they care about decentralization.

That is an incorrect assumption.

People buy bitcoin because they want to make financial gains.
The way "experience" is used in English and in modern American culture has a very different connotation, mindset, value, and frame. In its use in the hiring/HR world, and in the subcuture of wargaming and RPGs, "experience" is understood as a quantity and does not convey the depth of meaning as "gongfu". It's why there are some martial arts teachers who say, "Americans are no good at gongfu" -- not in the sense of not being good at martial arts, but that there's a cultural thing that makes "gongfu" easy to be misunderstood.

The closest term I have seen to "gongfu' in English is the ancient Greek loan word, "arete", which is usually translated as "excellance". What's important to note here is that both "arete" and "gongfu" are understood as quality, not quantity.

For example, you'll hear "Adam has 20 years of experience", or "Barbra has 5 years of experience", but "Adam has 20 years of gongfu", and "Barbra has 5 years of arete" doesn't make sense.

Yea I've switched to calling them "CoinBS" for this reason, and I've been with them since the GDAX days.

Between the suspiciously inconvenient outages during market volatility and their forced switch-over to Plaid for bank account verification (during which they unlinked my previously verified accounts), I'm pretty much fed up with their absolute garbage customer experience over the past 3-4 years.

Problem is Binance is not any better either. If someone rolled out a boutique crypto exchange that offers a quality customer experience & phone support similar to TDA/ThinkOrSwim I would gladly sign up in a second.

Frankly, if I'm honest, I wouldn't care why the Dutch criminal justice system did to fight crime so long as they obeyed the law, made things evidence based and left innocent people alone.

But because the Dutch government facilitated and protected more than 10 years of criminality against me I now have this very strong view that what the Dutch government are doing is very wrong. They have in fact become just like the organized criminals that they are supposed to be fighting. They are in fact organized criminals themselves. And it's not just criminals that become the victim of this. What happened to me would have happened to any other citizen that was living in the same location when it happened as I was.

And the offenders in the government committing these crimes keep committing them. The prosecutor in my case was found guilty of lying in court in 2013. He rose to become the head of the RIEC, the symbol agency of the fight against organised crime. The prosecutor that was responsible for the conviction on 9 innocent people on fabricated evidence in "De Villamoord" was the head of the organised crime unit in Arnheim till 2010 whe she became the head of the organised crime unit in Maastricht and then later the head of team interventions. I know, because I had two meetings with this woman. But it was not till have the massive obstruction of justice when the informant gone wrong appeared as the suspect in my stalking case that I found out exactly what had happened and how the govt. itself was responsible for the 10 year horror story that happened to me!!!!!!!!!

Are you some of the people that think that that sort of collateral damage is okay?

The whole point of using opinionated code formatters is to offload the mental effort of forming (and enforcing) opinions to a third party, so I very purposefully rely on isort's and black's defaults.
I think there is some room for what you describe in areas of low impact general law where a good faith attempt to comply and ignorance is plausible.

However, I think activities that are specifically licensed are clearly different. When you get a hunter's license, driver's license, or business license, you are certifying that you understand is
that a body of law exists around that activity, and you are responsible for knowing it.

Another problem is that giving essentially one free pass for low detection events effectively invalidates the law. For example, things like poaching and game violations, lawbreakers might have a lifetime detection rate of 1% . Knowing you get one warning means many people will only consider compliance after that warning.

>I believe you. It is surprising, then, that this drone operator just advertises his services online

IMO, One brazen operator is less surprising when you consider the 10s of thousands of hunters that dont do this. I can call up hundreds of unlicensed caterers online, but I expect every one of them knows their status relative to the law.

I can only speculate about this guy. If they had honest intent and actually unsure, the wardens are always 1 phone call away to clarify their understanding of the law. Maybe they thought wardens had bigger fish to fry, maybe they were making a ideological statement. I think it is even possible that the thought it was legally ambiguous and willing to risk it. I just don't think it is realistic to think they were completely ignorant in this case.

If they were some recreational drone operator providing impromptu aid, and unaffiliated with a hunting business, that would be a different case (and I hope that wardens and judges would take this into consideration).
