This is basically the Kim Jong-Un approach to foreign policy: Kim: threaten a nuclear war, see if people will pay you to stop Trump: threaten to crash the world economy, see if other countries will pay to stop you He doesn't care that

Not the GP, but I'll give it a go: You may be familiar with the layer structure of communications: Internetwork layer,below that transport, below that link layer, and at the bottom the physical layer. The physical layer is where it get

I agree. Maybe to flag, you should have to click 'hide' first, and be angry enough that you then go and look it up in the hidden list to flag it. It's short sighted, when this kind of thing comes banging on their door, they

According to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen's memorial of him[1], he turned down offers from big companies to stay independent. This is a sad day. There's no doubt that his efforts benefitted very many people, without their knowledge. [1]

The software they "let" do that is at the opposite end of the scale in terms of how well it is understood, specified and tested. Or they "lose bank".

Not anything - it wouldn't be a great idea to give an LLM the ability to spend money, but we let humans do it all the time.

Sorry, other than the one I mentioned, I don't know - I was on the client side. Maybe there's a way for you to set up a US company?
520.
by ajb 2y ago
Well, one approach is to team up with a consultant/contractor in the US. Preferably someone you know personally that will not skim off too much. This reduces the risk for the clients, as they have a US party as the legal contractor, do

Think about it this way: you are going to do N amount of work (password trials) either each against a different account, or all against the same account. Which is more likely to result in a break? If you try against the same account, for ea

In many areas the source of air pollution is outside. Opening windows helps with house dust and mold spores, but not with particulates from diesel, tyres or with pollen.

Yeah. It turns out, even Arm's A76, which is what the raspberry pi 5 uses, doesn't support a 32 bit kernel: https://www.theregister.com/2018/05/31/arm_cortex_a76/ That's no doubt why this

It's true in context. 32bit is going away for the class of device most people would run riscos on.

Thinking about it, it's not obviously worth making sum types non-nillable unless you also figure out a comprehensive nil-free solution for the rest of the language. Because if you include any interface in your sum, that branch will be

There's a proposal[1] by Ian Lance Taylor of the go team, but it includes every sum type implicitly including nil. Which very much not what you'd expect of a sum type, but every interface being zeroable seems to be embedded quite

It's difficult for people to comprehend in hindsight, but monarchies in Europe had a quasi-religious hold on the population. So not precisely good will, but definitely a cachet that can be burned down.

There's nothing in that repo that says, but at a guess: old machines often had non-uniform ways to access memory, so it may have been to test that the compiler would still work if the binary grew over some threshold. Even today's

Yeah The historic benefits of technology come from eliminating the waste of human effort: - Motors and engines removed the waste of using our muscles as an energy source - Computers removed the waste of people's time doing calculations

Yes. We need obligations to be able to follow personal data, by analogy with real estate (if you agree an obligation with your neighbour, for example access rights, it can be effected in such a way as to be binding against future owners. O

I'm totally comfortable with calling the OP's experience robbery. I used the word "seizure" because my comment is about what the law allows, not this case in particular.

With incentives, actual numbers matter. So yes, speed trap towns have bad incentives, but for national governments fines going to general revenue does not cause a problem even if in principle it is a bad incentive. In my country, local auth

Seizures allowed to be kept by the organisation doing the seizing is a terrible incentive. In other countries, seizures go to general revenue, which means that the incentive to do it is diluted enormously. This is especially a problem wit

I doubt they would suspend flights for that. Heathrow is used by people from all over South England, not just London, so a good proportion of customers come by car. Not to mention the people doing transits. Also TFL has a stock of buses whi
