But the point is it ought to be. Tell a user they have "a 280 character limit" and the intuitive interpretation for 98% of the world population that doesn't know the intricacies of Unicode is "a limit of 280 visible char

Would be much less in Taiwan for example. I don’t know exactly but I’d have to guess $50 USD? I’ve been to clinics that charged about $15-30 for a doctor visit (cash price as a foreigner—Taiwan has national healthcare but they can’t charge

$400 still sounds high, to be honest.

Which puts it on the same order of magnitude as the number of people on the planet. If every person alive generated a schema (or if 1/100th of all people generate 100 IDs each like you) then we'd have a small number of collisions.

I hope you get an answer, because this sounds very intriguing but google is failing me in finding any references to it.

> It’s a 64bit random number so it’ll never have unintentional collisions. It'll have unintentional collisions if you ever generate more than 4 billion of these random numbers. That's not inconceivable.

What is crazy is that we're going to chuck 4 Shuttle rocket engines which belong in a museum into the the ocean after a pointless flight of a pointless rocket.

The government is extremely efficient and funneling taxpayer money to Boeing. That was the whole point of the SLS, no? The best rocket lobbyists could buy.

California has a top-two primary system, not IRV, which as far as I can tell is the same as the "two-round system" you link to. So the primary is a free-for-all and the actual election has the top two polling candidates from the p

I did, but I have to pay an obscene amount of money for an out of network doctor :/ What was worst about the whole experience was that my HMO didn’t want to switch me for my benefit, but because prescribing a scheduled substance was in

Maybe I’m old, but I have no desire to spend hours a day with VR goggles on, oblivious to what is going on around me. And as a parent it would be literally impossible anyway. I don’t see the point of this metaverse stuff, at all. I expect i

My healthcare provider wanted to switch me from stimulants for my ADHD to an off-label use of an antidepressant which listed suicidal thoughts as it’s most frequent side effect. As a father of two young kids I NOPED out of that real quick.

Serious question. I’m signed up for cryonics myself, and in these instances I try to ask, as gently as possible, if they’ve heard of or considered cryonics as an option. I see it as potentially saving lives, although I don’t know anyone els

I think the person you are replying to is claiming that the hotline operator will initiate the process for involuntary admission, or at least start a chain of events (e.g. calling local PD for a welfare check) that leads to that outcome. (N

Everyone is responding with quotes from IETF and ISO documents. But this is a legal context, and it is not necessarily the case that they have the same technical meaning. I too wonder what the answer to your question is.

That'll just make more debris spread out over a larger area. Things don't literally get vaporized, unless you're talking megaton nuclear explosions.

When you add a root certificate to a browser, typically it is configured to accept BOTH the added cert and the built-in/system certs. There would certainly be no reason not to in this case.

They would presumably use both.

No, because it’s a terrible idea. She’ll languages are uniquely different for a reason. And while there is room for improvement, wholesale replacement by JavaScript is not that.

It did not prove the idea impossible. Just trivial/naive versions of the idea which ignore the halting problem or incompleteness theorem.

That is splitting hairs to avoid reality. WSB found an over-subscribed short position and exploited it. But because this happened in public, A LOT of people piled on. So in the end the main thing moving the price was the WSB hype, but the s

It’s a round number. Such an estimate usually means the person giving it isn’t making a solid prediction.

When did installing user application become an OS thing? Especially something security conscious like a browser I always install from the upstream source anyway. Which on Debian or Ubuntu is as easy as editing your apt sources.

I don’t think you did answer my question, which was why use an online platform at all for something private. But my question was to the author of the article / diary entry anyway, not you.
