The only thing it's a signal of is that $54.20 is much higher than the "true" stock price.

No kidding Twitter has spam/fake accounts, isn't that part of why Musk wanted to buy Twitter in the first place? He publicly stated that he wanted to buy Twitter to clear up the fake account issue, he knew about the issue before e

On the other hand, existence of this conspiracy has been used to shut down perfectly reasonable discussion around a less outlandish lab leak for months. Even in this post opponents of the lab leak theory are still bringing up this bioweapon

The immediate result of this is that publishers who don't want to play by Apple's privacy laws will only host their apps on alternative app stores. Want Facebook on your iphone? It'll only be available on the app store that h

The game actually streams in much of its contents also. They still stream in the satellite ground textures, but they don't use these to texture models in the same way as Google/Apple maps.

The thing I find strange about MSFS is that the 3D visualisation is in many cases much worse than the Google/Apple maps. It seems to replace many buildings with generic models - they have the same shape, but the textures and style is o

In a way that's part of what makes it so interesting. It's not merely bad, the UX is completely alien. It feels like software designed by another species. There is loads of software with terrible UX, but most of it is bad in the s

Mental health checks sound like a good idea, but there is a risk that it prevents people from actually seeking help. See the way mental illness is treated in aviation - mental health care is inaccessible to pilots because seeking help for s

There are quick release water cooling designs for the data center. But water cooling has many issues: the loop needs to be perfectly sealed as water is conductive and will instantly destroy your very expensive servers in the case of a fault

Volcanologists cannot exactly predict when a volcano will erupt. Seismologists cannot exactly predict when an earthquake will happen. Both can only offer uncertain probabilities. But these are definitely both sciences.

Economists cannot predict exactly when market crashes will occur. Is volcanology not a real science because volcanologists cannot predict the moment a volcano will erupt? In both cases scientific study can help us determine when the risk is

Modern volume normalization isn't done based on the highest peak of the track. Instead they normalize based on the average perceived loudness of the whole track (to a level below 0 so there is headroom for peaks). It's intentional

Streaming services don't compress dynamic range, rather the opposite - because every streaming service employs loudness normalization the loudness wars have largely ended. Compressing your track to hell in an effort to get it to sound

Is it definitely backed? As far as I know there has never been satisfactory proof that USDT has ever been backed by anything. Yes fractional reserve banking is a real thing, but real banks must publish audited financial statements so that o

In this case the Oracle is a consensus protocol where community nodes report the LUNA/UST rate. But of course to make running such a node easy for users Terraform Labs distributes node software that reports a value chosen by Terraform.

It's an intrinsically flawed concept even without the 20% interest rate. The algorithmic balancing between UST/LUNA doesn't help at all with maintaining a LUNA/USD market. UST is pegged to USD indirectly through LUNA, an

It's absolutely true of other algorithmic stablecoins. When it comes to "backed" stablecoins like USDT the scam is even simpler: you just say it's backed by cash when it's not.

Price of LUNA/USD doesn't matter so much - the issue is liquidity. Without a market maker offering sufficient liquidity to the LUNA/USD market the peg will break down. Yes there is still a price on the LUNA/USD pair, and

In this case the algorithm pegs the coin to another cryptocurrency, LUNA. You can algorithmically exchange 1 USD worth of LUNA for 1 UST at any time. But note that this algo doesn't help you cash out your LUNA! Is 1 USD worth of LUNA r

It also relies an a healthy USD-LUNA market. If there aren't any buyers on the LUNA side it doesn't matter how man LUNA you can mint from your UST because you can't exit the LUNA side anyway. It's the same problem for ba

There are more requirements than just making the source available. GPLv3 has an anti-Tivoization clause that forbids using GPLv3 code in a product in a way that the GPLv3 code is not able to be replaced by the end user. And there are also r

Cyclic references are an issue for ref counting as the cycle prevents the count ever reaching 0. Not an issue for mark & sweep where if an allocation isn't accessible from the GC root it's safe to free.
238.
by initplus 4y ago
I'm curious, is there a reason why GC'd languages don't use some form of escape analysis so that only allocations that can possibly live beyond the current scope need to be heap allocated?

Why would any sane consumer purchase those games when Nintendo has no track record of honoring purchases? Nintendo aggressively cuts off access to consumers past purchases in the hopes that they buy the same retro games again on the new sys
