Not sure where the rant about the justice system came from. You are making my point — people willing to lie through their teeth can just make up any report they like, the existence or accuracy of Maigret changes nothing.

by jhugo 4y ago
You're making my point. People take evidence at face value, so a program like Maigret makes no difference. Why bother using Maigret when you can just make stuff up?

There is quite a different vocabulary between academic/numerical/scientific computing and "commercial" software engineering. Perhaps my previous comment should have been more explicit that I was talking about software en

Nobody who bothers to check what the tool does will be swayed by this. If someone wants to make shit up, and their audience will not bother to spend 30 seconds looking at their "sources", they could just write a script that output

That makes no sense. They could just make stuff up, it wouldn't be any more or less believable.

Hopefully they read one sentence about what the tool does before using it. If they don't, their arguments will be weak due to their own sloppiness in research, which doesn't seem like a new problem.

Isn't it obvious just from reading one sentence about what it does? As it clearly says, it's based on username only, so multiple people's results may be mixed in the dossier if they share a username. We don't need a disc

They recover their "reasonable costs" from your money, after you agreed to them doing that when you decided to use their service. I've refused to use PayPal as either a buyer or seller for years now; anyone still doing so hon

Ignoring the fact that the results are probably partially flawed due to methodology (see top-level comment from someone who works on GCE) and are not reproducible due to missing information, pointing out the lack of a guarantee is not hand-

At work we run some (non-GPU) instances in every AWS region, and there's pretty big variability over time and region for on-demand launch time. I'd expect it might be even higher for GPU instances. I suspect that a more rigorous i

All the clouds are pretty upfront about availability being non-guaranteed if you don't reserve it. I wouldn't call it a reliability issue if your non-guaranteed capacity takes some tens of seconds to provision. I mean, it might be

Neither Yemen nor Armenia have much strategic importance for NATO, Ukraine does. That's the difference. The support for Ukraine isn't being driven from the bottom up, it's being driven from the top down. And Armenia is white

They're two distinct IP addresses, but both are anycasted CloudFlare public DNS.

IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers, the dotted-decimal representation is just a common way to represent those numbers.

If not selling the company and therefore not having to pay tax on the sale proceeds that you would have made is tax avoidance, then so is sitting on the couch instead of getting a job.

The CEO buying a burrito and paying for it with their own money because they want to eat a burrito is not revenue inflation. I can't even imagine what kind of fantasy world you would have to live in to believe this rubbish.

Did you even look at the game before posting this comment?

Surely being on Steam is much more important than being on Twitter. I play a ton of indie games but have never used Twitter and even if I did use it can't imagine looking for new games to play there.

Sanctions are absolutely not global in nature. Iran trades extensively with countries in the region.

One thing I've always been curious about is why the opportunity created by this sort of thing doesn't seem to be taken advantage of. To take Iran as an example: when US sanctions prevent Boeing or Airbus from selling to them, I ca

If normal public health messaging was as forthright as TWiV then misinformation might already be less of a problem.

By that definition, "anti-vaxxer" is so broad as to be meaningless. Certainly useful as a way for people not caught up in its expansive definition to feel superior, I guess.

Myanmar<->India is a bit tricky. When I passed through, you needed a permit to go to that part of Myanmar and to cross the border. Not long before, the border had been closed, and I think it was closed again more recently due to the s

If there were two tokens, one of which was stakeable and the other not, traded separately but convertible, then sure. But that's not reality. ETH's value is in part defined by its ability to bear interest. Whether you personally s

Those things are not as coupled as you make them sound: the vast majority of people getting paid interest on their ETH won't be running a node. They'll be receiving interest passed on by exchanges or other centralised entities tha

by jhugo 4y ago
Staking ETH pays interest, so buying ETH is buying an interest-bearing asset (i.e. a security). Some of the biggest players in staking will be exchanges who will likely give some (most) of the interest they earn to their depositors. Those e
