None to very little. This can then be reflected in the article. Or maybe you don’t publish because all answers are some version of ‘no comment’. The downside is that you don’t publish the article, the upside is keeping your journalistic int

To support my point: https://mobile.twitter.com/whale_alert/status/15916165982801... This doesn’t happen with BTC because it wasn’t created out of thin air.

The creation, distribution and governance are completely different. The public may not care but in the long run we mow see it matters.

I agree it's confusing. I think they do it to remove seasonality and the experts on the topic probably don't understand anymore why the rest of us think their way of reporting is confusing to lay people.

Why? He must have had some money of his own and some rich friends to set it up. So he had the means. Also, the difference was there and it was persistent so he had the opportunity as well.

It seems likely that the Kimchi arbitrage (arbitraging between exchanges in Korea an the rest of the world) was indeed massively profitable. He took a wrong turn later.

That's why you get outsiders on your exchange to make markets and you just charge commissions and access fees.

Clearly, they are not contemporaries so it’s obvious.

The unfortunate side effect of such improvements is that when the time comes you do get to peak at the details you’re in unfamiliar territory.

It seems to me that they bumped the major version for every breaking change in the changelog. I guess that is in strict compliance with semantic versioning but indeed it looks strange.

This is very similar to the log4j vuln or not? I had expected that all code like that would have been scrutinized immediately.

Export from Emacs org mode to LaTeX. org mode offers plenty of flexibility to tweak the final output and lets you focus on writing. Edit: and creating tables in org mode is _so_ much better than in plain LaTeX. If you find yourself manually

Seems to me that the individuals involved would care more about getting extra shares than the expected increase in share price from this change. The bonus might be significant, the increase in share price might be a percent or 2. Google dis

Why blame this on Wall Street? This idea is the idea of someone at Google, it was implemented by someone at Google, the decision to go ahead was approved by someone at Google.

I replied to someone claiming that you should always go for certainty no matter how many games you play. If you get to play the game 49 times it doesn’t make much sense to go for certainty 49 times because 2^-49 (or 2^-20) is really small.

No it’s not, if you play the game 20 times you’re almost certain to win 50 million and probably a lot more. Unless your utility function is flat after 20 million it does matter.

I get these are huge privacy infringements and I don't like that but except for improving Copilot I don't see how they would make money from that. On the other hand, sites such as StackOverflow and Google (possibly even Bing) can

I think I'm out of the loop: what exactly is so valuable about this telemetry? I don't believe my coding habits can be used for advertising.

Agreed, I didn’t bother reading the rules and just started clicking. I doubt I would read the rules even if they were written perfectly.

I think Magnus just changed focus to being the first 2900. I bet the way the last match went was a bit of a let down for him as well.

I think you make good points. I also think that Leetcode problems are not good for this (at least for most companies) simply because the problems are too hard and require preparation or luck. Some of the algo's that are being asked too

Not entirely clear to me that would be sufficient a mitigation on this case: the endpoint could claim Zoom version 999 is served and serve the old exe and cab which then would be run, possibly before other checks can even be done.
