Saying "everything is political" is putting everything up for grabs for state (or mob) control whether you said it aloud or not. Doesn't matter if it's a tyranny by some generalissimo or amorphous mob of twitter gibbering nitwits or tiki torch bearing numskulls.
If "everything is political" there is no room for private life, which is the only life that matters.
>and asking that question is clearly not equivalent to saying that the government ought to be involved in all interactions.
Yes, actually it absolutely is. Putting everything up for grabs for state (or in modern day; the mob) control is literally totalitarianism. People who "don't understand" this are either abysmally stupid or are power mad imbeciles who are pretending not to understand for Machiavellian reasons.
This article deserves some kind of award for peak pretentious smugness, a la South Park fart huffing. I'm not sure what the point is. Restaurants are nice. Muh facemasks.
>"restaurants are where life is lived"
As opposed to ... the rest of where life is lived?
>"Restaurants bring humanity to a city. They’re central to my memories. "
I'm pretty sure bringing food to a city is more central to restaurantness than bringing "humanity" to a city.
"Eating out in Houston is an exercise in acceptance." -are you shitting me? Do people actually feel virtuous and beatific because they bought a bucket of pork fried rice from someone not of the same race as them? What the hell is going on here?
I used to work near there[1] (and take prom dates on the spook show at the then abandoned Bevatron[2]); the Soviet stuff does have a distinct look to it. The US racks were filled with this grey stuff, generally put together rather haphazardly by EM techs, where the soviet stuff is vastly more .... designed. At least in these photos. Possibly because the control systems were for larger, longer lived technology. Though the 88 has had a pretty good run. By contrast the ALS control room looks like a devops room; just a bunch of Sun workstations. Just for contrast; the Dubna cyclotron in Russia is pretty equivalent to something like the Bevatron or 88", and it has that swoopy designed look to its control room[3].
Well he's not a US citizen and unless he's insane, his corporations are offshored in a 0% domocile. It's really only a problem for Americans; everyone else who has their shit together can stick their corporate shell on Cayman or whatever.
The astounding, insane decision to use "libraries" aka delegate call in any immutable smart contract always boggled my mind. The amount of space saved is so ludicrously small as to beggar belief. Hope the 10k or whatever worth of space savings (about 20 transactions worth) was worth it.
Anyway, he didn't get a roll back, and the $200m in value that disappeared didn't either.
> I disagree, because historically major cryptos have allowed known attacks to succeed if they targeted a member of the public at large, and have defended only if they targeted named insiders.
Surely you aren't going to make such a statement without examples! I can think of examples where things were attacked, including some of the largest value destructions, and insider status didn't help. For example, the multisig thing that happened to Gav Wood (the second time).
If your lone example is the Dao attack, that looked like successful governance to me.
1) To give some money to the authors (I'd rather bitcoin them)
2) Because it is a reasonable format for books I'll read once from start to finish.
Searchability is baloney in most cases (index is better), and it's definitely not a better experience, even on paperwhite type technology -the only way any sane person should read an ebook other than quick lookups. I de-drm everything, because it's mine, so that's not a consideration.
Textbooks, ebooks are basically useless unless you're remote and have no other options (and in this case; koreader on rooted hardware). It's for novels, philosophy, history books which are for fun; that sort of thing.
There was a conspiracy theory making the rounds for a bit based on Simons connections to Columbia.他在 50 年代骑着一辆轻便摩托车来到了那里，我认为他在纸牌游戏中赢得了一家瓷砖或地毯工厂。我认为除了讨厌者之外没有人相信它，但它向你展示了西蒙斯除了“聪明”之外还是一个什么样的人。
I think it's a fair guess that they are just better at playing the game than most.我从那里认识的人都非常优秀，校友包括像 Lenny Baum（又名隐藏的 Markov Baum-Welch）和 Elwyn Berlekamp 这样的人。他们也几乎肯定是第一或第二个（索普知道）通过伯利坎普与凯利的合作真正找出最佳赌注规模的基金。 Mercer 在 IBM 语音识别方面的工作也令人回味。语音识别已经存在很长时间了，但它一直非常困难，而且本质上是一个时间序列问题，就像市场一样。 Lots of Mercer's old team got pulled into Rentech looking at different kinds of time series.
