What about LONG term income and price changes?
Wages haven't kept up with inflation for decades. Various social norms pressuring people to have kids have been eroding the whole time due to the simple impracticality of it.
OK, open the hanger, here comes the airplaaaaaane!>/p>
His name is Paul Yura. I'm pretty sure Nick Bannon is not rsilvergun IRL.
Now finish those nummy strained peas.
I happened to be aware of the existence of a extension made by someone else that offers domain-level opt-in consent to run script in a particular web browser. I cited the extension's title and author and deliberately left out any URL. I thought that would have been adequate to imply lack of conflict of interest. A user has implied to me that it is not. What means of citing a source would have been adequate?
It's right here in the comments.
The person who would have coordinated the alert with local authorities is gone. His position has not been filled because a lateral move would make the new guy "probationary" (and we know what happens to those under Trump).
But in this particular case, with the chain of cause to effect well established, the names of each of those kids should be tattooed on his face in blood red ink, mirror imaged so he can be reminded every morning when he gets up.
The alerts are supposed to be localized to the area where they can do some good. When I get an alert about something on the other side of the state at 3 A.M. It has missed the mark, unless that ever so rare silver or possibly white Honda drives through my bedroom window (which can't happen for at least 3 hours given how far away it is), there's zero chance I will see it.
Now, if they displayed the alert on the signs over the interstate, they would better target people who might actually see it.
Most User-agent strings that don't contain "bot" nor "Mozilla/" were in Anubis's allowlist last I checked.
?) it’s handed a lightweight JavaScript proof-of-work challenge—solve this trivial SHA-256 puzzle before proceeding. [...] There’s no crypto mining, no wallet enrichment
Yet. Because Anubis is free software, and because its hash happens to be the same as the proof of work of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, someone could modify Anubis to tie the SHA-256 puzzle to the Bitcoin block that a mining pool is working on.
no WASM blobs firing up your GPU
Until someone writes a browser extension to offload solving the hashcash to WebGPU.
Most users won’t know their machine is doing extra work unless they’re monitoring CPU spikes or poking around in dev tools.
Laptops tend to have an always-on CPU spike monitor: the exhaust fan. So do phones and tablets: they get warm. So do older, less expensive, or small-form-factor desktop computers: they get stuck on the interstitial for up to a minute.
Anubis is a fantastic tool, but I think we can strengthen it by baking in the principle of informed consent.
This already exists. Use an extension to make script-in-the-browser opt-in per domain, such as the Firefox extension "Javascript Control" by Erwan Ameil.
Apparently no one else thought to use this solution for this problem until Xe Iaso came along.
I seem to remember a service called Coinhive that offered a script to make the viewer's device mine the cryptocurrency Monero in the background. I forget if it had an option to hide the article until a particular amount was mined. (Coinhive shut down when too many intruders started installing its script on other people's websites.)
Their pricing is already high for streaming, but that's apparently not enough for them. If you actually try to sign up you find that they pump the price > 33% more with "fees" for various things they advertise as benefits of their streaming, and so push the price to over $100/month.
Somehow it doesn't surprise me that they want even more money under the table after that.
At one point, diquat was used for weed control in lakes because it won't disperse or break down to become ineffective even if just poured in the water.
Imagine what that says about washing it off of fruits and vegetables or it's ability to diffuse into aquifers.
Check prices for Taiwan as well if you like. Meanwhile, where do you think American companies have boards made for them? The big differential in price is mark-up.
But really, there isn't a lot of human labor involved in board fab these days. And certainly not the sort that pays the lowest wages.
Components are just as crazily marked up in the U.S. I wouldn't be at all surprised that the Chinese manufacturers can get even better pricing then an individual could from a Chinese supplier due to volume.
Why and what does a "balanced budget" look like?
In a balanced budget, taxation exceeds spending, like it did at the end of the Clinton administration and just before George W. Bush went to war. The highest federal income tax bracket at the time was about 40 percent. What broke the budget was a misguided attempt to stimulate private business by cutting income tax on the richest American taxpayers.
I sorta think of it as the "always online" issue, which in the past I thought was absolutely unacceptable for a single player game, and now I mostly don't care because I'm always online anyways.
That created a problem for dial-up users and laptop users back in the day. That was solved in two ways. First, Valve fixed the bug in early Steam that was causing it to fail to store purchase receipts for offline mode. (Users at the time were experiencing this as a need to be online for switching to offline mode to work.) Second, the home Internet market as a whole phased out dial-up, and even in areas not served by fiber, cable, or DSL, dial-up users largely switched to satellite Internet.
Real Users never know what they want, but they always know when your program doesn't deliver it.
