The people advertising buy BAT back from the users so they can continue advertising. As ads get served, BAT gets transferred from the advertiser to the user. The user then sells their BAT on an exchange, and advertisers buy it so they can c

The conversion is useful for the advertiser, not the user. The user simply sells their BAT back to the advertiser.

The loop is that advertisers acquire BAT (typically by purchasing it for cash from an exchange like Coinbase). That BAT is then distributed to people who view the advertisements, who then sell it back to the advertisers for cash. Brave does

Brave the web browser. Filecoin for data storage. Augur the decentralized prediction platform. Numerai the hedge fund.

That's way more than enough trips for an Uber and a taxi. In NYC, the average taxi driver drives 180 miles per day. This is the total distance covered, whether they have a passenger or not, and including the distance to and from their

Right off the bat this article misunderstands the research on which it bases its advice about the six factors that cause burnout: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/246546370_Making_a_... I decided to take some t

Much like looking at an exchange rate between two currencies, what matters isn't the exact ratio at any one moment but how that ratio changes over time.

There are many people who don't understand that AI can be a genuine threat to society. I've heard people like Steven Pinker claim that it's fanciful thinking that AI could pose a threat. I think these people have a classical

I was curious so I did some Googling just to get a sense if what you're claiming is true and it turns out you very likely wrong on this matter. According to TIDES/University of Central Florida, more than 80% of UFC fighters have a

Ouch! But yes I suppose you're right that it comes across more as virtue signaling.

You are now mixing correct and conforming programs. Neither the C or C++ Standard mention anything involving correct programs. C uses the term conforming program and C++ uses the term well-formed program. In C a conforming program is any pr

This is really just bad man. It's why people shouldn't get legal advice from places like HN. First, the vast majority of contract law is common law, not statutes. Second, you seem to think something being illegal means it's c

I think you're way out of your league here if you're saying that there is nothing illegal under contract law to sign a contract to rob a bank. Not to mention that you've now gone from trying to be pedantic about the fact that

It's a common misconception that a conforming program may not engender undefined behavior. In fact this very article touches on how realloc has introduced new (and backwards incompatible) undefined behavior precisely to accommodate the

Contracts absolutely can be legal or illegal. Binding/unbinding contracts are a related but separate concept. A legal contract is a contract whose terms do not violate the law or public policy and whose terms are enforceable. A binding

I'd argue that it's stupid to think that it's stupid to rely on UB. Almost any non-trivial software explicitly relies on undefined behavior, including safety critical libraries such as cryptographic libraries, the Linux opera

Your claim is actually false. C differentiates between a conforming program and a strictly conforming program. 5.1.2.3 binds to conforming programs which is permitted to produce output dependent on undefined behavior. Only strictly conformi

C does not have a formal specification either. It has a standard's document that is written using formal English, but it does not provide a formal spec of C's semantics. A formal spec of a programming language's semantics wou

It's funny that your original post was an objection to how undefined behavior gives license to screw developers over, but here you are talking about how undefined behavior is like sticking a fork in an electrical socket.

Because it's about as meaningless a comment as saying "thoughts and prayers". There's nothing shameful about an incompetent company going out of business, it's actually exactly what should happen.

If OP isn't suggesting that, then what's the shame in having an incompetent company go out of business?

No way, since any such degree wouldn't cost any money, instead it would pay you. Spending 500k on a degree is absolutely insane and indicates that there's a lot more to the story than what's being told. The only exception I c

Your claim depends on the idea that the set of numbers {3, 9, 15, 21, 27, ...} = {3 * N | for all odd N} have an even distribution of 0s and 1s in their binary representation (ignoring the last digit, which is always a 1). But this claim do

>What's so difficult to deal with? Respectfully, if you think dealing with people is as simple as delivering ultimatums about their behavior then you likely have not dealt with leading teams of highly skilled professionals.

I used to think the same way as you, and then I started a company and had to pay out of pocket for employees, and the sad truth that I almost hate myself for admitting is that if you have to pick between incompetent but nice, and competent

No this is not true and it's actually a common misconception. It is not true that doing something for a long time makes you better at it or more knowledgeable about it. There is an excellent meta-analysis [1] that looks at domains such
