The language/framework I created uses Google Sheets as a datastore, even providing language constructs for JOINs/Pivot tables, and caching timeseries report line items by daterange in a separate auto-generated google sheet. It all works fine, but SQL with a caching layer like memcached is obviously a better option if you have control over your server at all.
Pimping will still be prosecuted.
If you're a young hacker that wants to get into kernel development as a career, are you going to consider going to a university that has been banned from officially participating in development for arguably the most prolific kernel?
The next batch of "researchers" won't be attending the University of Minnesota, and other universities scared of the same fate (missing out on tuition money) will preemptively ban such research themselves.
"Effective" isn't binary, and this is a move in the right direction.
A couple years ago I tried to integrate this into a website specifically for the visualizations, but couldn't get it working... did the work you did on the visualizer just increase performance, or did it also increase support or ease of getting it setup on a new site?
You'd probably have better luck just becoming a terrorist. It seems like that is what the FBI wants.
Being an apologist for a system that forces people to endure a fragmented mess is very shady, and very unusual.
Online Policy Group v. Diebold, Incorporated.
A false DMCA takedown is equivalent to perjury. If SteamDB were to counter-sue Sega, Sega could be punished for perjury, forced to pay SteamDB's lawyers fees, and potentially lose their copyright on the content they claimed was violated.
Charge a $1/month membership billed annually to the coop site, and offer a $25 rebate to any coop members when they book a room.
Make it very easy to become a member while booking the room... $100/night + $12 coop fee, and after you check-in you get a $25 rebate. The OTAs would still get the $100 price, but hotel would effectively charging $87.
Anyone with a good lawyer would argue this is circumstantial evidence, and considering the large volume of felonious criminals in the area, it wouldn't be above them to spoof the cell signals to frame anyone they wanted. Considering the government those rioters were attempting to overthrow is also in heavy possession of electronic devices to spoof cellular signals, the FBI/CIA/NSA could have framed them.
Nobody made any money from Spanish viewers... they made money from YouTube.
I never understood why empty blocks is allowed... you can start immediately and get a head start over other mining pools. Granted it is just the time to load in transactions from the mempool and hash the result of appending them to the blockchain, but still... if you're in a race, why not take any advantage you can get?
I've monitored the chain for years, and empty blocks are very very common. I know there is a civil war of people that want to make the block size larger vs keep it the same... I think at this point it they would both agree that every block should at least be 90%+ full before it is accepted. That seems like a simple fix.
The attackers would then like just fill up the blocks passing a tiny amount of bitcoin between all their wallets, but at that point they might as well just use the mempool.
In the end, if you have mining dominance, you win. No point denying that. If you want to "ban" miners, or rewrite history, bitcoin is no longer decentralized.
As someone who has worked for a NAND based flash memory manufacturer, time is definitely a relevant dimension.
Our whole company was hinged on a patent for a manufacturing technique to make either the source or drain leads a little more pointy so things could run faster and be more reliable with less power.
Lots of controlled movements near the range of success. Within a few iterative steps it will be foolproof. That is why they called it SN9 instead of SNFinal. Seems to me that it went as well as planned.
How can I install Matrix on an android phone without using the Google Play store?
If most of the balls are still in the water, the plastic wasn't removed from the water, it's still stuck in the seagrass... and for the few balls that get beached during storms, the plastic doesn't go away... now it's clumped in an organic mess.
Another headline written by the single-use plastic industry.
It was on a quick steep incline, with a real fence (with matching slats spacing) that actually was going across the road right up to the dashed center line. They fixed it by regrading the road like they should have done in the first place, as cattle guards like this must be level, and the local codes required it.
Editors getting desperate with their TSLA puts.
I wonder if nurses hate unsolicited surveys as much as the general population, and lie to them just like I do.
Pretty sure it was dismissed far more than once, and is currently still dismissed by many rational scientists.
The USA still allows prison slave labor, so good luck with that.
Examples: [1]
Whole Foods – This organic supermarket buys artisan cheeses and fishes from companies that employ inmates.
McDonald’s – Certain McDonald store items such as cutlery and containers were made in prison. Prisoners also sew their employee uniforms, and they only make a few cents an hour from it.
Target – Since the early 2000s, Target has relied on suppliers that are known to use prison labor.
IBM – Apparently, inmates from Lockhart Prison in Texas manufacture this tech giant’s circuit boards.
Texas Instruments – Like IBM, their circuit boards are also made by prisoners. They even got a new factory assembly room specially made for inmate laborers.
Boeing – A subcontractor of Boeing was found to have used inmates to cut airplane components. Unsurprisingly, the prisoners only get paid less than a quarter of the usual wage for such type of work.
Nordstrom – The company was once under fire for selling jeans made by inmates. They have since stopped the practice though, and have promised not to use involuntary labor of any kind again.
Intel – Like other tech giants in this list, Intel has also outsourced labor from prison. Some of their computer parts were made in a prison manufacturing facility.
Walmart – Despite pledging not to sell products made by prisoners, some of the retail giant’s subcontractors were using prison labor to dispose of customer returns and excess inventory.
Victoria’s Secret – The top American underwear designer was paying inmates peanuts to make their expensive lingerie.
AT&T – Rather than outsource their call centers to other English-speaking countries, AT&T hired prisoners instead. The problem is, they only receive $2 an hour for a job that usually pays $15.
British Petroleum (BP) – In 2010, BP hired Louisiana inmates to clean up an oil spill. They received no payment from it.
Starbucks – We all know that Starbucks employees make little hourly. But the prisoners who make the packaged coffee sold in their stores make even much less money. They only receive as little as 23 cents an hour.
Microsoft – In the 1990s, Microsoft made a conscious decision to hire prisoners to pack their software and mouse. A spokesperson at that time even claimed that the company sees nothing wrong about it.
Honda Motor Company – The Japanese car company hires inmates from Ohio Mansfield Correctional Institution to make some of its car parts. As expected, the company paid them next to nothing.
Macy’s – Like Walmart and Target, this retail giant also uses prison labor to save on its operating costs.
Sprint – Following the footsteps of its competitor, AT&T, Sprint also staffs its call centers with underpaid inmates.
Nintendo – To pack their Game Boys, Nintendo hired a subcontractor who, in turn, hires prisoners at deplorable rates.
JC Penney – Since the 90s, JC Penney has used prison labor for its clothing line. Female inmates used to sew leisurewear sold in their stores, and more recently, prisoners from Tennessee are making jeans for them.
Wendy’s – As part of its cost-cutting measures, Wendy’s uses prison labor to process beef for their hamburgers.
Wait a few years when various molds take hold and the only solution is to replace everything, when you're already in the red and operating at thin margins. Tale as old as time.
The same thing happened to me, but the only difference was I didn't do anything close to illegal. In the late 90s I made a massively multiplayer online drug dealing game. At its peak there were about 3M daily active users. I went through a few shared hosting companies as I learned to optimize and scale the stack. One of them cut me off, stole all the source code, and launched their own copy of the game. I couldn't afford to bring legal action against them. Eventually I had my own co-located servers in one of google's old datacenters in San Jose, and had everything humming smooth. The game was free, but I charged $1/mo for "premium" features that basically just let you skin your character or start a gang. No "pay to win" stuff... just gravy. I had direct payments from Visa and Mastercard, as well as PayPal that included Discover and AmEx I think.
I got accused of running an actual drug marketplace. The DEA contacted me to let me know they were alerted of the claims, but after an investigation determined (fairly obviously) that it was just a game, and let me know that they enjoyed it, and many of the agents in their office were actively playing. A month later PayPal cut me off, seized all of my funds (that I have still not gotten back), and shortly after that my direct merchant accounts with Visa and MasterCard were cut off. Lesson learned. America's financial institutions are corrupt.
Why wouldn't the first conclusion be that the example.com service was flipping bits? Load balancing TLS requests to a different front-end pool is very common.
Has anyone claimed to see these flipped bits on a domain other than example.com?
Hey. I was a dog with a partner. That counts as a pack. Recognize.
I mean, if you are counting "Tech CEOs" like me, who used to live at the top of Nob Hill in a $4,500/mo closet, with 0 employees, then yes... we left. If you are counting real Tech CEOs, the big players aren't going anywhere.
This study seems biased to always select reconstruction. Why isn't there an option showing no reconstruction, or an option to say neither reconstruction is aesthetically pleasing?
That was during the Nixon administration... as far as I understand it, he threw out the entire "political science" playbook, and corruption was allowed to thrive unchecked.
The new "attack anyone disclosing anything about anyone" is "attack anyone disclosing anything about anyone specific", (but ignore the real problem). Your dream documentary would be sued out of existence before the entities the documentary exposed felt any heat.
/start old fogey revolution here
You have the right to shoot a gun, but if you murder someone while shooting it, you're criminally liable. You might accidentally capture someone on run from an abusive ex who works for the police department with access to the video feeds. They already have facial and license plate recognition, why wouldn't the police be using it on the ring feeds as well?
Don't sue the cops, sue the people shooting the video and indiscriminately distributing it.
For a little background, I built a system to share video exactly like this around 1995 in a very popular restaurant I worked at. I also interned at a local ISP, so I had unlimited dial-up and FTP/WWW space for free, so I set up the accounting laptop in the back office with a Snappy video capture device that would take a crappy still image every 10 minutes from the security cams, dial into the ISP on one of the 3 telephone lines, and FTP the image so it would show on the restaurant homepage to let people know how busy it was. It was very common to get shoulder to shoulder crowded, so I figured people would like to know in advance and wait 20 minutes to make everyone's lives easier. This was like 320x200 resolution on crappy multiplexed security cameras. You couldn't make out faces. I contacted the local media to let them know that the website was going to launch soon. There were other features for other local businesses to create their own pages, sort of like geocities or myspace. They called me back and said they never do website announcements, but the live video stream was very interesting to them. We did an interview, and they sent me the article they were going to run after I launched, it painted the still image service as "1984 is here", and you would give up your privacy if you went to the restaurant. They must have told other people, because by the end of the week I had lawyers contacting me and threatening me with lawsuits if I launched. The website launched without the live image.
No one cares anymore. All of the people the media were trying to scare are the same people uploading their entire lives to for-profit corporations like facebook and instagram, and they're doing it in full HD with their names attached.
So, I completely see how cool this technology is, and some good that can be done with it, but anyone involved is setting themselves up for trouble.
Definitely not for IED reasons. It is one of the most counterfeited watches, even though it is already one of the cheapest. This past October was especially busy for customs and border patrol: https://usa.watchpro.com/louisville-border-force-seizes-1050...
