He was teaching them how to manipulate distributed database entries that they have the explicit permission to use via their own private keys. If that is anywhere near equivalent to murder then I have a bridge to sell you. Next up teaching

That is a button that works via software, not a physical disconnect like on some other mics. When its a physical disconnect the os can’t tell if you’ve sent a mute command, just that all audio input stopped.

And it's not going all the way to UBC, which is the reason why the B-line is so crowded. You stop 1/3rd of the way there and then transfer to the B-line again.

That feels like such a waste compared to not making the super crowded b-line a train line sooner vs later.

Neuromancer was never really about technology according to the author, and that is probably why it feels the same. Ironically although, I had a hard time reading Neuromancer while snow crash was a breezy fun read in high school

He is probably not watching the public comment section closely, but the other parts.

IMO the account settings are acting like the chromebook is the school's property, and thus should be purchased and owned by the school, not the household. Otherwise it's another form of tuition charge. I don't think public

I think a key aspect to make it stay on would be to basically make it like a set of helmet straps. One around the head like the zeo, a chin strap and a top vertical strap across the head. A headstrap works when your awake, but when your a

Zeo headbands always slipped off for me, it was hard to keep them on. Doing it tighter just leads to discomfort and was counterproductive.

You can tell when someone hasn't worked at a google sized company when... Yes, it happens all, the, time. It's just not public information.

You don't think those managers are "dealt with"? Lol yes they are, but it shows up in 'reorgs'. And outages still occur even with code review, unit tests and alerting.

Meh meth is prescribed for some adhd cases today and those people are totally functional and fine. Same with their other cousins. Same with painkillers. Its just they have abuse potential, especially opioid’s, and that is why you have to

High stakes means high investment. You can’t just hire a dev and have them running in a week, their bad work could cost the company multi-millions in obvious and non obvious ways and proper onboarding takes months at minimum. On the other

PIPing and firing is a huge time and emotional energy suck, and it sucks for people on both sides. To reduce the amount it happens is worthy. You can’t in practice just say, “this guy sucks, lets fire him next week” And it shows, barely an

I didn't read the paper, but going along with the sun metaphor, your description kind of sounds like "hot ball in sky that radiates light". It still doesn't describe fusion.

CBT and meds are insurance friendly. Even if therapists don't like it, they're basically forced into it by the system, otherwise payments are more likely to get clawed back in an audit by the insurance company. And why does insura

There are a lot of mental disorders that are induced by neurological / physical things. I wish ADHD, ASD, Schizophrenia, SPD and more was just 'bad parenting'!!

You'd think a speculation & vacancy tax would solve this, but doesn't seem to as seen in BC, Canada :( More about the tax: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/speculation-vacancy... https:

Because it's high risk to rent out units, many who don't need to, don't do so. I know of several who don't do this but could. They have extra rooms in their first floors of their houses that could function as a more af

Unless it's a short term rental place where that makes more sense and your paying for the internet bill, don't put smart locks. It feels like mandatory surveillance cameras that you have no control over and your creepy landlord c

From the article, I couldn't see what actually compelled the need to comply with an "EDR". From what I could see, they were not actual warrants or subpoenas that legally compelled performance, they were requests. They do i

Move to a rural place where everyone is moving out and you'll find a place that is not densifying over time, but the opposite. And buying land & housing there is incredibly cheap, probably less than the cost it would be to build i

The entire point for many americans, is there is really no choice for the most part. It's either rural areas, suburbs or hyper expensive urban areas because building an urban city is effectively illegal in most of the USA, so the few

Credit cards are centrally managed by a bank, need network communications and have transaction reversibility. This is literally a P2P system and their solution to avoid double spends is to have the device's root user not be the owners

From what I see, this system is supposed to run independently of centralized servers, so as long as you can make some small amount of electricity eventually, it will work. If that is not possible, then you have bigger problems to worry abou

Nope, but for cities to be prepared for such emergencies before hand by completing some basics of bureaucracy by being properly authenticated, much like you expect a city fire department to have some fire trucks purchased already instead of

It's because they don't want their children to lose their indian culture, despite raising them in a foreign country. When your in india, you don't have to worry about that.
