It's hard to quantify the differences in the intensity and duration of exercise too. An e-bike is heavier than a standard bike so it may take more energy. On the other hand, it might make pedaling so easy that the exercise is like 1/4 as effective overall.

If I do not want to participate in this private company’s business, what options do I have?
What changed since?
Algorithmic trading produces nothing of value and yet we allow it for some reason.

It actually detracts from the entire purpose of a stock market.

It has also created our poisonous modern environment where companies chase record profits every year, endless unsustainable growth with the added side effect of ass-covering for all their bad investments.

A lucky investment like this guy is probably fine but the truth is that the system is set up so that wealth begets more wealth; the wealthiest people have so much money that they don't have to be careful with it, look at how much Musk spent on Twitter as a toy for him to destroy, it doesn't matter because record profits and valuations ensure that dumbfuck CEOs and investors are bailed out of their dumb decisions.

Meanwhile we live in a biological society where our evolutionary path has made it exceedingly easy to manipulate people to hate based on sexuality, gender, race, etc ignoring the class war going on. We're too apathetic and ignorant to vote together, we could all share in our species' accomplishments but no, the suit and tie ruling class can have all the Bentleys they like so long as I get to vote for the guy that'll let me hate the people I want to hate.
Sure, I understand some advertising networks don't care about scams in general. After all, ads for "the blue pill" are everywhere.

But in this case we are taking about posting a direct link to a virus download. I would assume that THIS would be enough for FB to do something about it...
ARC and CEC come to mind. ARC probably isn't too important, but CEC is nice being able to control various boxes with the same remote. Or being able to control the TV's volume with another remote.

Some UX feedback, if you're open to it:

- It was initially unintiutive for me that I needed to highlight a whole SQL statement to get Ctrl-Enter to run it. Also a prompt that this was the correct shortcut would help!

- I dragged in a CSV file, and the name was too long to show up in your table explorer, so I couldn't tell what the table name had been called (it turned out I needed to `select * from table_name.csv` - the csv postfix was unexpected

- The CSV file had headers, but they were not auto detected - would be good to be able to configure this
In a nutshell, yes, but there are very few FOSS nonprofits with funding that allows them to do this. The Linux Foundation pays Linus, and I know the OpenInfra Foundation has a few technical roles on staff, but most simply don't have anywhere close to the money to pay for actual development. It's not a particularly attractive venture for corporate sponsors, or at least hasn't been historically, because they can spend the same money on their own developers and have much more control over what features and bugfixes get prioritized.
Well I think it's an interesting idea, and to add to that, the "-1" values would correspond to an inhibitory neuron!

What neurons can do though is integrate over time, so your output can be one spike, or 3 spikes very quick, same for your input, and maybe 10 quick spikes in a row is a more powerful signal than a lone spike. We know this intuitively, though, via vision, we don't see in mac-classic style black/white images, we see shades of brightness and color, indicating that at least our optic nerve is sending what amounts to an analog signal (even if encoded as binary spikes - is the spike timing not analog?)

This is not to mention all the biochemical signaling that happens, and the multitude of local neurotransmitters and global physiological/hormonal factors at play. And all that weird stuff like glial cells and astrocytes is there in the mix too.
Very strange. I run Zoom constantly in FF - my company does several events a week that I edit, so i’m thick in the weeds on zoom’s site doing admin/recording management stuff. Almost 3 years on zoom’s site almost every single day, never had to swap browsers. Mac Studio if that matters.

There are generic integration algorithms that would try pretty much every known technique, so I would wager to say yes (though looking forward to a counterexample proving me wrong)
A text editor is user-facing; the underlying filesystem hierarchy mostly isn't. I'll grant some of it is; it would make sense for a user to know (and perhaps even care) about /home, and in a system that isn't centered around a package manager I could even see them caring about whatever the directory is for applications, but beyond that it doesn't matter how /usr is laid out, or how the CPU is microcoded, or whether the kernel is monolithic, or whether their applications are written in Rust or C#. It's a black box, and for less-technical users that's fine. I won't say there aren't ways to improve, even to simplify things, and I do wish that normal people still programmed, but the reality is that computers really are just that complicated, and once we get over trying to explain technical things to less-technical people, the FHS is fine for what it is.

“Imagine/possible” is insufficient reason for an effective life sentence even for a person as repugnant as SBF. I’d hope that if I end up in court, “imagining” things about me won’t be enough and hard evidence would be required.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty much the opposite of an SBF sympathizer, but still, it is my opinion that stealing money should not get one a life sentence.

If it always getting fixed shortly after, it probably means something is going on in your settings or in the background that is interfering at the time you are trying to access them.

The complexity of English spelling reflects the origin of the language as a trade tongue, also possibly reflecting influence from Latin, which went so far as to add redundant letters for the sole purpose of indicating foreignness. The majority of words are loanwords, and the spelling reflects the origin of the word (unless you're British, in which case some of the spelling reflects the British desire to be French). This can actually be very useful for divining pronunciation and meaning, but I admit I do sometimes think about dropping the redundant letters and reforming the alphabet to one sound per letter.

Everyone knows the US and NATO have done horrible shit, but unless you have a child's view of the world it's incredibly obvious that the US and NATO take incredible steps to minimize civilian casualties. Much more than non-NATO aligned military powers.

It's good to learn about the past, but it doesn't actually tell you anything about how modern western military operations actually work. You'll always be able to cherry pick random platoons doing heinous shit because humans are still humans. Just because you are from the west does not mean you are better than anyone else.
I get that (and agree separating biz and personal as much as possible is 100% best practice)

But there are tons of legitimate businesses operated out of residential addresses (therapists, psychiatrists, chiropractors, etc). It’s not abnormal to use a home address for business purposes.

I’d recommend checking with your lawyer to verify, but I don’t think the address on your stripe (or even bank) account would legally make a difference
Yes, you need to get out when starting and ending work shifts. It has to feel like you are leaving for work, even if you just walk around the house and then come back. So, no working in the bedroom, kitchen, etc. It has to be a dedicated space.
Starting by ripping apart one dumb random unrelated graph that shows accurate but awkwardly scaled height differences gives me the sense that this is someone looking to shred & tear down. That kept being what is sae: someone looking to use slight of hand and weasel words to diffuse & distract. But never actually clashing & never actually finding real reason to strongly contest.

This is just someone looking to tell a certain side of the culture war that they should have no reason to pause in their warring, that it's ok to keep going full steam ahead.

More seriously: this was pretty much solved already through improved techniques. I'm generally of the opinion that if you have to send a molecule to space to crystallize it better, you should probably spend your money on other, more terrestrial approaches. I do credit Varda for doing this automatically, rather than on ISS, because launch costs for autonomous vehicles are much more affordable than human space flight.

Is there a problem with it being imported? The excess power from Finland's latest nuclear generator to come online (while already having ample low carbon energy) combined with Estonia's plans for increasing existing interconnector capacity with Finland seems like a fine solution, if only in the short term.

> The output of Finland's newest nuclear power facility, Olkiluoto 3, has been significantly cut back because electricity has become too cheap, according to the plant's owner, Teollisuuden Voima (TVO).

> "Electricity production must also be profitable for nuclear power plants, and when the price is particularly low, there may be situations where output is limited," TVO communications manager, Johanna Aho, said.

> Early on Wednesday the market price for electricity dropped below zero cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and for hours after that the price was only 0.3 cents per kWh at its highest, according to the country's grid operator, Fingrid.

> The Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor in Eurajoki, southwest Finland, started regular electricity production in mid-April, about 14 years behind schedule.

> Generally, the amount of electricity generated in Finland is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of hydroelectric power that is used. However, due to flood conditions in northern Finland, reducing hydroelectric-generated electricity is challenging at the moment.

If you choose to drive around in a public place, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

While I don’t agree with the surveillance state that the US is drifting more and more to, license plates are a valid means to identify vehicles - unless you’re looking to abolish the idea of vehicle registrations.

In the US at least, red light and speed cameras are almost all operated by private companies that police forces utilize as a vehicle to create tickets and boost revenues.
The fact that plot armour applies to main characters does not imply that main characters necessarily have plot armour.

Buffy having a high survivability is pretty consistent with her defined powers (general resistance to harm, fighting abilities, accelerated healing). It’s not enough to just say she survives fighting monsters.

A good example of clear plot armour in Buffy is the named vampire characters. The random baddies disintegrate the second they’re touched by sunlight whereas Spike survives stretches of sunlight multiple times. This violates the established rules of the fiction for the sake of protecting an important character.

Another example is the rest of the gang of kids managing to survive fighting vampires on their own without Buffy. Early on they have no established powers and while the various monsters are demonstrated to be tough to take down even by someone with superpowers.

In your proof, doesn't i⋅(i+j) + j⋅(i+j) = (1+ij) + (ji+1) = 2 + ij + ji, not 2?

What am I missing? I think ij = -ji is an independent axiom.
If I charge $1000 with a 90% profit and sell 10m units, can I claim all of that as having "produced value"?

If my movie budget is 300m but 200m of that went to high priced actors (think JD, RDJ getting paid 50m~) did that movie produce that amount of value?

Corporations have perfected consumer value extraction, allowing them to pay themselves more and bid higher against the competition, further increasing prices to consumers in an endless loop. It produces nothing of value for us, but we're too dumb to boycott this behaviour.
I get why it exists but it turns companies into box checking machines. I haven't read this new version so my skepticism may be unwarranted but hackers are not going to refrain from attacking because that'd go against NIST. A lot of the things that are best practice in the industry as a result of adapting to newer attacker techniques and capabilities are not covered by NIST. The problem then is anyone working on those countermeasures is working on stuff that has no value to execs who just want to know how compliant you are with NIST.

The CSF like ATT&CK is just a tool, it can be abused or used properly and if you are a small company with no idea where to start with security or measure your posture it's a good tool. But as a measuring stick of checkboxes, I can't say I'm a big fan.

Eh, I don't think that is correct. Klarna US charges up to a 25% late fee before the debt is sent over to debt collectors, it doesn't accrue AFAIK. I'm pretty sure they do standard credit checks too.

> Look at all your agency, I'm proud of you for making all the right choices. But what about everyone else who didn't?

Well, this is a hard question. I don't believe in banning things that might be harmful if misused (and rewarding if used properly), regardless if it's alcohol or credit. I do however believe good education is incredibly important to avoid issues.

For what it's worth, Firefox on KDE is fine.
I did not get the same point you did out of the article.

The point I got is to be more intentional about being distracted, and to use a phone or a computer as a tool instead of an attention crutch. By reducing the phone's ability to easily distract you, one can improve their quality of life. That's for all of us, not just celebrities.

What a comment on the article states is so true as someone who has lived/worked in Akiba for at least a decade. The amount of physical media has been going down over time. The abundant amount of movies, games and music that was on physical media for a reasonable price is gone. Many of the stores in Japan have been mined and stripped of affordable media. Hardware too has gone up in price (radios, game consoles and computer parts). So much of what would be cheap has been gleamed to be sold on Yahoo auctions (I've seen some YouTube videos showing North American or European collectors paying extreme prices) or to be over priced by Japanese standards in Akihabara to tourists (because of weak yen which allows them to charge more). Akiba has changed from a geek hangout to just another spot on the map (go to a maid cafe, get the t-shirt and see the cool buildings kind of place). There is still plenty of manga, figures and souvenirs to purchase in Akiba so if that intrigues you then I would suggest a visit for those instead of video games or computer stuff.

For the quick-witted, perhaps learn these skills as well? Not just to be able to coach others, but to degrade more gracefully, be it short-term not-at-your-bestness, or long-term age-related decline. I've been struck by elderly with accumulated rich tooling to fall back on (eg, written systems to supplement declining memory) and degrading gracefully, versus not, and not.
