I haven't had a good time with people who guess my compensation way off. I think that was just a flag here though, the 6 month creeping was starting to ask for more work

Cash seems a lot better for crime, except for international use. "There should be no international cash equivalent" - would you agree with this?

That reminds me of the early work on the internet arguing that the amount of global connectivity wouldn't scale due to power laws. In a way, they were assuming a system like these global world sims. The equivalent of static routing (pl

I had a game where an artist and I grinded for 1.5 months, I feel I made the vision come to life yet the art stands alone too. I look back fondly in ways I could shape the artistic vision with relatively simple but creative programming. The

I read vaguely that South Africa had a surge in hospitalizations (implication being from omicovid), is true?

The key part being emphasized is that the audience believes its more functional than it is. The word prototype is ambiguous on that part

You could calculate difficulty by having some amount of dials on engine strength (lookahead, eval complexity) and fitting them to a function of approximate strength. You could then try to plot how the position "real outcome" chang

If there was a regulated issuer of S&P500 indexed coins then indeed these platforms would provide normal margin investing. If crypto lives a lot of stuff will go away and hopefully a lot of tokenized promised governed by laws will enter

Let me dryly discuss this because I feel people are being too gut reaction here There is a "real world use case" that most would agree with, just cynical. Borrowing and lending crypto is not a taxable event. You can have a capital

Crypto is a monetary game, and bitcoin is an original game piece. You have to at least give it some weird collectible value

That's funny. When I heard it mentioned the speculation was they might add a more obvious way. Good they "fixed that bug"

At the same time, they're in a position to consent to a transition, not sure there's a community of collective ownership here like with freenode

"Selling charts to visualize data is a certain way of making data more accessible to certain customers, why not extend that to the visually impaired?" Royally messing up a product for the blind by not hiring real blind people woul

I imagine they can read the text parts with a screen reader. Doubt this is any different than adding an image anywhere else

You can also sell them to the public. The real crux is that Facebook was the highest bidder, so it does lower potential valuations not being able to be purchased. All well in my books. I'm still salty about Red Hat optimizing the short

"I'm an $xB ceo and everyone you mentioned have been lovely to me" is a data point, but being successful means even your true friends are networking with you (because it's logical, not implying sneaky intentions)

Indeed. Cats and dogs are part of endless marketing materials for a reason. They're as generic appeal as it goes (something something everyone loves babies)

I felt the same way. If they don't share walnuts directly then that's not what they're intending to do. They likely see a local lack of value to the rings, meaning seeing them exchanged satisfies curiousity but perhaps not se

You're right, evidence of locked is not there. And I'm not fully convinced they're slaves, either, as many conditions bind people to work. There's definitely a lot of ambiguity from these time periods, but whitewashing s

Isn't it a bit of a penmanship bias that the slaves you hear about in history have more dignity? All writing is propaganda to a degree, while we see here evidence of multiple people locked in a tiny room

Which I see as a problem, as world powers are very distinct, seemingly have a hard time when they don't ingrain capitalism to a large degree (China) and one is definitely required to have a robust alternative to capitalism

Can you provide argument that a letter was created for Polish for something that was not a phoneme? It has always co-existed with normal L, while it has sometimes sounded close to L I don't think one could say standard Polish ever mer
