That is the very different problem of willingness to punish "system-critical" money launderers, versus the ability to detect rogue money launderers. Failure on one problem does not invalidate efforts on the other.

I guess it depends on the definition of "boring". The games you mention cater to different audiences than strategy games, and they make the repetitition a core part of their experience. Special thought went into making their loops

The proof in the end is quite straightforward, but I wonder: how justified is the assumption of a "non-abnormal" predicate? The authors' explaination involves probabilities, but (probability) measures often do not mesh well w

Yeah, the website also looks very offbrand, but the product is really more than just solid.

Does anyone know an app like Portal/Pushbullet which also works on iOS? I'm hanging between the ecosystems and file sending like this would be great.

>> we're going to treat four simultaneous meteors as impossible. Which is great, but then one the day, five of them hit at the same time. > I think that suggests that there were not bigger fish to fry :) I can see this problem

I guess this is the reason Apple restricts apps from executing downloaded code.

Yeah, many people just don't care as much about discovering new music. I don't think it says much about Spotify though.

Even if you mostly work at your desk, a desktop computer has just no option for mobility if you ever want to work somewhere else temporarily. It seems like many people value the option of mobility, even if they don't use it often.

Types colormap I've sometimes wanted to use, but which never seems to be included in packages or evaluations of colormaps, are 2-dimensional and cyclic colormaps. I often would like to visualize two related values in the same plot, so

The faster you move through space, the faster you move through time as well, actually! That's because distance in spacetime is defined with a negative sign for time periods. The profound statement is now that the subjective time (which

In special relativity, you have two notions of time: - Time relative to an observer: Designating a non-accelerating massive object ("observer"), you get a coordinate system which assigns a time and distance to each event (point in

IBM bought The Weather Company, which was the holding company of The Weather Channel. The forecasting technology is now owned by IBM, which licenses the weather data to The Weather Channel.

By default, Windy uses the ECMWF weather model. You can also change it to GFS or ICON, which many american forecast websites use. ECMWF, GFS and ICON are made by national/international forecasting agencies. IBM also has its own proprie

Settings vs dev tools does make a huge difference imo. The settings pane gives you a cleaner ui for quick changes (debatable, but I certainly feel this way). Dev tools can break your browser if you do things wrong. They are made for develop

Yes, errors-as-values only works well with a type system which supports discriminated unions. And programming languages with such support have only recently become popular.

With patent claims up to billions of dollars, "they likely won't enforce it" isn't good enough for most serious companies.

We already have enough fake "product comparison" websites, but I guess trade magazines now also have to peddle the crap from the highest bidder.

I guess I'd be just as nervous in space with thousands of tonnes of explosive propellant. Spaceflight always operates on the very edge of what's possible, not of what's safe.

Not sure I agree with the conclusions, but I really respect the "unpopular opinion".

More like, the shareholders are asking the company to do whatever it takes to turn the biggest possible profit. That might mean solid business decisions, or unscrupulous externalization of costs.

A competitive game without the typical flood of cheaters sells much better, because hacks and bots can really destroy your experience as a player.

I mean, the whole argument is based on two anecdotes, which show that both systems can be excessively unfair. We'd need at least some numbers to talk about "everyday occurrences" or not.

The big question here is: On what data was the model trained? Presumably the news stations trained theirs on public-domain works and their own backlog of news articles, so even with manual copying there would be no infringement. In contrast

A similarly strange runway is located at Barra Airport in scotland: it's made of sand, and tide covers it up twice a day. Here's a Tom Scott video about it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=g_2SlqF0kA0

Are you sure it will stay a one-time purchase? Given the post topic, your confidence seems ironic. In a few years' time, you might start seeing ads in the associated app...
