I think android overloads would improve the situation.

This is mostly infeasible because the VM has no idea what's worth anything. There is no reasonable price in absolute terms for a BTC or ETH or DOGE or $DUMBCOIN. The key is that the contracts need to be minimal and analyzable, so its

Mostly it involves people making systems that are too complex to trivially analyze. You can not write arbitrarily complex secure code. You need to limit your scope and do one very simple thing extremely tersely and correctly. You can make

Google cross-protection and competition in respiratory viruses. Lots of pre-2019 literature.

This reminds me of a line from an NPR story. It said that "false" information spread twice as fast and twice as far as "true" information on twitter. No interrogation of why it spread was investigated. It immediately m

This continually drives me nuts, especially watching people from windows use macs. They want to get normal maximize behavior to not have to manually size a window, and instead get thrown into fullscreen. This causes an immediate wtf momen

The corollary to this is can you write a simple c program without a compiler and have it do the right thing and compile without syntax errors the first time.

Do any of these solutions work for a thin mac on mac virtualization? Ideally opensource and not veertu. :)

Medium doesn't actually pay writers does it?

You can just block cookies from medium.com and everything keeps working.

Source? 0-4 and 5-17 are definitely that high. The 18-45 demo is different, but there's a lot more heterogeneity in that population as well. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.ht

Not indexing the sites and shutting down google news is effectively the same thing.

Is the goal here to just have Google shutdown Google News in Australia? Seems like that's the only logical result.

I've read a few Sowell books and I don't always agree with his conclusions but I do always enjoy the historical context he puts behind his arguments. I find most political pundits, journalists, etc to lack a grounding in history

Just seems like an unintended consequences confusing situation. I think a pretty rational policy would to _never_ have an apt package install a snap package. Moving to snap is a breaking change, effectively, so you have to bite the bullet

I'm unclear why ubuntu needs the chromium package in apt. Seems like they should just stop publishing apt packages for chromium, only publish in snap, and steer users into using snap for installs and not apt. Seems less confusing and

nyc said 21.6% antibody on 6/13. 32k deaths, 8.4M ppl => 1.8% IFR. CFR is much more complicated because policy changes on testing and hospitalization will make cause CFR to bounce around. Anyone argue that's a worse case scen

I don't know if this means I'm old but normal people used to just call this a global salt. The pepper term seems a little cute and not nearly as obvious as "global salt". Though it did get me to click it, which I guess

The funny thing is its not transitive. No slowdown if you invoke bash specifically with a new shell. % rm /tmp/test.sh ; echo $'#!/bin/sh\necho Hello' > /tmp/test.sh && chmod a+x /tmp

The thing I'm confused by is why a costco is open that has like 1000 people per day and a flower shop that has 20 customers per day isn't open. Is the flower shop dangerous? Is it less essential on the yearly timeframe? This lo

One of the super-interesting things here, is that apparently everyone was in the specific window where they test positive for the virus. This implies the population was recently infected, had not been previously infected, and it spread alm

I would open a bar in a minute with this device. :) It would have 6 ft spaced lines day and night. 10 drink minimum with test.

It actually alot of background on why it doesn't work. The post could just be: tl;dr: gunicorn doesn't know how to multiplex listeners and green threads will ruin your request latency. The thing is, that post isn't very usef

I'm always amused when people propose what the problem is and a fix for it, and then they immediately think "congress" should do something about it. Democracy happens at the state and city level. The federal government is m

A huge number of npm dependancies I use are basically unmaintained, have tons of forks and multiple PRs with the same fixes. I choose the one I like and move on, the magic of github!
