In some ways that makes it worse. When Hamas abuses the population we can at least say that the majority of people have never had a chance to vote for anyone else. In contrast the Israelis chose Bibi. This is what the majority of the population wants.
I absolutely adore playing at A20.

For me, the reward is having a deck that works well enough to tackle anything thrown at you.

This means many different things, but basically amounts to having the right amount of cards or relics that give you scalability for your attacks, a plan to mitigate attacks (with statuses or blocks), and a plan to handle beating the heart.

After a certain point, grabbing cards to beat the heart leads to beating other things easily - including Sword and Shield and the double Act 3 boss.

Funnily enough, I have the opposite problem. I'm often building decks that can beat everything easily except for the heart.

Because Russia and Iran have leadership that has other sources of income outside of the sanctioning west. Cuba and Iraq had that historically (with the eastern bloc as trading partners), and the regimes began to change (at least a little) when those sources for income vanished. That they didn't immediately disappear comes from the fact that the respective leadership is caught between a rock and a hard place: uncomfortable in power at home, but no safe place for comfortable exile available.

You can choose. If Apple services are all you intend to patronize, then legislation won't stop you; it does stop Apple from using their dominant position to enforce less competitive terms for their competition. If you depend on Apple's market abuse to use your iPhone, I'll just tell you now; it's time to find a new workflow.

Have you ever used a Mac? It's a great example of what the iPhone will look like, in a few years. You boot it up, log in, and open up the App Store... and it's only junk. Freemium apps with monthly microtransactions, paid trial versions of professional software you have to buy from the web, iPhone games that are barely anything more than a casino with flashy graphics... these are the developers that choose to stay with Apple when they get the choice. They'll be your only bedfellows if you're dumb enough to use an iPhone that only Apple curates.
I feel like the post modernist stance isn’t to question what constitutes truth, as the ancient Greeks and epistemology nerds attempted, but rather to posit: there is no truth. I’m not a fan of that stance, except for-fun in certain art forms; similar to how violence is fun in art but not in real life

Business owner who doesn't have employees is not really a capitalist, but a self-employed worker. At least if they do some practical labor instead of e.g. investing.

In general, self-employment is quite a different thing from owning of means of production that other people work.
These aren't really consequences for being a bad actor on the global stage, these are consequences for being deemed a threat to the interests of the military superpowers and their close allies, this is a very important distinction.

The interests might at times be veiled under a discourse of "rights" or "democracy" or whatever and at times this discourse might even be valid, however the underlying reasoning for it rarely lies there as the kings and his friends are free to do whatever they please.

The goal here is to ensure that once you get someone into prison they functionally can never really escape, largely because the US constitution left a giant “you can have slaves” gap, coupled with “you can disenfranchise anyone you want by labeling them a criminal”.

Felons, including those in prison, should be able to vote. If the prisoner population is large enough to impact elections the problem is not that prisoners can vote.

Sure - but it would be ridiculous to expect the world to continue business as usual with a nation that has dedicated the past few decades to being as big of a nuisance as possible.

Given our administration's current views on Iran, and the Obama administration's similar views, it would have been trivial for Iran to be welcomed back into the international community.

Yet... they once again chose the opposite. So, today, that means no more Minecraft. Perhaps one day the population of Iran will have had enough of their government and make changes.
Were building a prompt management tool internally, here devs and domain experts needed to work on the same files. Wanted to save the time to build a cloud backend for that, so was already doing that with git to get version management and good integration for devs, but had to build a couple workarounds. Yours looks a lot better. This could be huge.

It depends, but I'd say not usually. Many financial service applications, which have strict KYC requirements, just correlate different data sources to ensure everything matches up, and tries to determine some level of risk about the client making the application (i.e. match applicant name with DOB with SSN with known addresses, etc.) FWIW, given the huge number of data breaches I'm not sure why that info is sufficient, but it usually is. It's only when some backend risk engine determines "This data doesn't match up, or this client looks sketchy" is a photo ID requested.
When you say "terminal" I think what you really mean is a "shell" which runs within the Terminal. Googling for "bash", "shell scripting", "beginner" and "hello world" are likely to lead you to more useful content.

Also, as much as it's helpful to write code, it's also helpful to read code and try to understand what it's doing. Ask lots of questions.
That isn’t just a trend, that’s actually this proposed rule change!

Banks collecting KYC actually started with the Banking Secrecy Act of 1970. This was tried in the Supreme Court case California Bankers Association v Schultz (1974). It holds that recordkeeping requirements do not constitute a privacy violation under the 4th amendment absent reporting requirements. Since this new rule (2024) applies only to foreign entities and OFAC controls provide penalties for domestic companies, there’s no fifth amendment issue either (which is a shame imo, the 5th amendment argument in Bankers v Schultz seems incredibly shaky).

There’s no reporting requirements or new crime being created here; the intention is to “”aid”” IaaS providers in complying with OFAC requirements, and, when a warrant is issued, the actual identities of the customers to be known.

Apple is very good at making things for beginners who are not super technical.
For me, its seems it's both newer packages and easier to add third party apt repos for even newer packages. Also, I like running newer kernels with HWE.

Looks like intelligence is a collective property and not the domain of any one individual. We tend to build cults of personalities around certain smart people, but if you displace those smart people onto a different time or place, they would have achieved nothing. They owe their success to so many other people.

Having a genius on your team is less important than fostering an environment where a group of people feed off each other's ideas and produce intelligence.

Literally fighting fire with fire
I agree with this take.

“Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.” comes to mind
Maybe less important than knowing what it stands for is knowing what the implications are for businesses.

KYC is essentially about knowing who you are doing business with.

For individuals that's relatively easy, just the name and identification is required but typically there is the need to verify that the identification actually belongs to the person signing up. In banking that's why you typically have some video call with a verification provider.

For businesses it gets a lot more complex because it's not enough to know what business your client is, you also have to look through its corporate structure to figure out who the "ultimate beneficial owner" is. Essentially, who is actually controlling the business.

Now it got a lot easier recently as many countries now require businesses to file who their ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) are.

The painful part is that it introduces friction in customer journeys as now you have to request the documentation.

In the financial industry you also have to run checks on those UBO's so that they are not known terrorists or sanctioned individuals but it seems this regulation is just that IaaS providers need to know who actually operates a server. Presumably for forensic analysis after a cyber attack.
> Was that we can model whatever our brains do _while catching a ball etc_ by means of kinematic equations.

No, we can't even do that. All we can do is observe that the results of what our brains do happen to be the solutions to kinematic equations. It does not follow that we can model the process of producing those solutions by kinematic equations. It does not even follow that the process of producing those solutions bears any resemblance to what we do when we do math to find them.

Here is an analogy: we can observe that the motions of objects obeys the principle of least action [1] and that to compute the action we have to integrate the Lagrangian. It does not follow that there is anything happening in the physical mechanism that causes particles to move that is even remotely analogous to integrating a Lagrangian.

> When I catch a ball ... I know exactly what I'm doing

No, I don't think you do. If you did, you would be able to describe what you are doing to someone else, and they would be able to reproduce your actions based on that description alone. Alternatively, you would be able to render your knowledge into computer code and build a robot that could do it. But I doubt you can actually do either of those things if your only skill is catching a ball and you are not trained in math.

By way of very stark contrast, I am absolutely terrible at hand-eye coordination tasks, but I can build a machine that is much better at it than I am [2]. Just to be clear, I didn't actually build that particular machine, but I do know how. And so I can tell you that the process of learning how to build a machine that can catch a ball is radically different than the process of learning how to catch a ball yourself.

> I think there was, once upon a time, a motherboard that could swap between x86 and Alpha processors with only minor reconfiguration (like, changing a jumper minor).

Deep into rumors that have been circulating in my brain for two decades now... But supposedly Slot A for the (original) K7 Athlon was very similar to the Alpha CPU bus (wikipedia says "The Athlon utilizes the Alpha 21264's EV6 bus architecture with double data rate (DDR) technology.[citation needed]"). The K7 team had some people who had worked on the Alpha at DEC, so there were lots of comparisons drawn.
Sure, there are other issues with this study too.

However, simply asserting that something explains the results while not addressing the ways that the study actually look at that factor is not a valuable contribution to the conversation.

You are correct that self-reporting adds error to the BMI and the optional self reporting may have narrowed the range of BMI reports than can be analyzed. Both of these would reduce the size of the predictive effectivenes. It does seem like an area where a study better designed to control for BMI would increase our understanding. However the relative effect size vs lower face shape indicates to me that it is pretty unlikely that BMI fully explains model predictive ability.
As the other commenter said, it actually isn't like a slot machine.

I recommend watching runs from players that are going for win streaks. Many of the runs in win streaks are not slot machine decks. Going for a win streak forces you to take cards that you otherwise wouldn't have.

Watching runs in general will also show you that players win without broken decks. It's just that videos with the highest views tend to have broken decks because those are the most entertaining.

Unfortunately, they're exempt from most anti-spam laws, but they're not allowed to use autodialing to send calls or texts to mobile phones. So if you can prove that's happening, go ahead and report it. But once you're in a database that's been shared with every candidate who is ever going to run, stopping one will never stop them all. You can use configurations to silence the receipt and you can respond and ask to be removed hoping there is a human paying attention at the other end, but that's about it.

Well over 15 years ago someone somewhere mis-entered information and associated my phone number with my grandmother, and still to this day I get texts from GOP candidates about races and issues in Nevada. I'm not conservative, haven't voted in 20 years, and have never lived in Nevada and couldn't vote there if I wanted to. They don't care. They're just blind copying numbers out of a database that has already been copied and distributed thousands of times, and deleting it from one copy won't do anything to the thousands of other copies. My grandmother is fast approaching 90, just had a stroke, and probably isn't going to live a whole lot longer. I'm sure I'll be getting texts from Nikki Haley and what not 30 years from now still addressed to her.

At least it's only during election years. Try owning a house. Your phone will become worthless as 95% of all communication comes from property speculators who simply canvas public records and beg you to sell. Or don't even own a house. I also get offers for my grandmother's old house all the time. She didn't even own that one and the guy who did own it died five years ago.

Almost all the games you play on PCs have much bigger state spaces than Go.

To give an intuitve example on why StS's state space is large, imaging these two situations: In both case you have the exact same map, same deck, same HP, same potions and same relics. The only difference is in one case you have 100 gold and in the other you have 101 gold.

They're still two different states. And all the following states are different.

The size of space state doesn't necessarily translate to how difficult the game feels. Foundamentally Go has zero randomness while StS is full of randomness, so it's a little apple to orange.

I started with a very narrow taste as a teen: pretty much just metal, and mostly just black & death.

But it grew broader over time, so that's possible. Now I might dig pretty much any kind of music.

I feel like trying to understand new types of music has an effect beyond just getting familiar with them: brain adapts to process a broader range of stimuli, so that also helps to understand other unrelated genres in future.

I experienced biggest change with Autechre: it was rather difficult to listen to (and I specifically took it as a challenge), but after Autechre I can listen anything :)

And in teens I had to listen something at least 5 times to start enjoying it. Now I can dig it right away. So it feels like brain processes music differently now

Just to clarify, no it isn’t theft. For most games and software that cost money, you never really buy it, but rather you’re buying a license to use it, with strings attached for rules on the possibility of being banned, of which there is usually some vague, overarching “if the company feels like it” or “if the government asks us to” clause.

Not saying that this is the way it should be, but at least read the ToS before agreeing to it.
If I need to go through 10 podcast episodes to understand why bitcoin is better than gold, that makes me seriously question whether bitcoin is better than gold. Things that are actually better shouldn't need that long of an explanation.

Example: Why is gold better than fiat currency? Because the government can't print more of it, thereby devaluing all the currency you possess. Sure, there's much more detail than that (on both sides), but the basic proposition can be stated in one sentence.

So if you can't say that for crypto, then it does sound like you don't have a very strong argument.
Microsoft does this because of sanctions, not because the dictatorship is paying them off.
Will try to cut long story into something brief, to this.

Phone stolen. Go through usual steps. A few weeks later, someone contacts me, "hey, I was sold what seems to be your phone on eBay..." (I had put a message on it). "I was wondering if you'd got a replacement, and be willing to unlock the phone. I just bought it..". Points for gumption, I guess. I said "How do I know you weren't the thief..."

He reached out to the seller, who initially refused to exchange the phone. "I am in contact with the legit owner of the phone, and will give him your info so he can pass on to the police". Seller exchanged phone. This guy then gave me the info and listing anyway.

My phone. IMEI had two digits transposed. Looked at the guys other listings, and it was a warehouse of stolen goods, effectively: hundreds of Macs and other laptops, mostly "no accessories, no charger", hundreds of phones, "no cables, locked", and so on. All the phones had invalid IMEIs unless you un-transposed the same two digits that were transposed in mine (plausible deniability I guess? You search for IMEI, no hits. But it looks legit because he's willing to share it, and can say 'oops, typo').

Go to the police. They were supremely uninterested. "Well, he probably wasn't the guy who actually stole your phone". I pointed out that I thought it was still a crime to sell stolen goods, even if you didn't sell them, and if you're selling dozens or more near current MBPs for $300ish "without any accessories, may be locked", then what is your explanation?

Still didn't care.

Reading the definition https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2024-01580/p-46 and the paragraph following it, it's intentionally broad and i'd say it's not that much of a stretch to say ISPs provide services that match this.
