You are actually not doing much of that.

You have become a spectator.

And much less ability to handle the task.

Just a note ... "mechanical" royalties are publishing royalties payable when a duplicate is created. Back when the duplicate was sheet music or a record pressing that made sense linguistically. Nowadays, mechanicals are due when a stream is done or a digital copy is made.

Public performances like a live concert get a different category of license.

Citation on the spike protein production?

IF you dropped dead a decade later, it would be a fantastic trade-off.

Vioxx was a long-term problem. Having that problem instead would be a great trade-off relative to untreated melanoma.

IT started in the 60s with the CDC6400, actually. It's no wonder you missed it.

As the article says, some processors only have an instruction that produces 1 bit of quotient per cycle. This gives a variable time for integer division which can be longer than the time it takes to do a floating point operation.

This sort of limitation has a long pedigree and is surprisingly common. For instance, the CDC 6000 series had no general purpose integer arithmetic unit. The DEC Alpha had no integer divide and the standard RISC-5 spec also omits it. Same for low-end ARM chips.

The visualization for the aisle seat is much less interesting than for the window seat.

Maybe that's why they built what they built.

Having to serve 1000x more traffic from bots is completely unacceptable for most site owners as well.

The fact that this trade-off isn't obvious indicates you haven't tried to run a site at scale and make a living off of it.

The entire blog was about how the site owner doesn't want to put it in the open.

Your pontificating can't change the fact that he can do whatever he wants with his site.

It's not that simple. The stolen file has no clear text passwords and ideally, these passwords can only be decrypted on the right hardware with user confirmation. Of course, eternal and repeated confirmation requests are an anti pattern all their own, but the cloud attestation service not verifying the hardware sounds like a really glaring omission.

But when you do, there are glaring holes these people uncovered.

It is hard to find the content for all of the glitzy ads on this site.

The problem with this logic is that if 80% of the salmon in the water are sterile, then the probably of a fruitful mating is only 20% of the previous rate. For most wild populations, this is cataclysmically bad.

It works on screw worm flies. It will have a similar effect on wild salmon.

It would have been pretty easy to use a horizontal line scanner to get image speed.

In any case, it seems that using a full frame video would be much easier to post process since frame to frame correlation tells you everything you need to know about motion.

Define "most" and "us".

If us means humans living in democracies, I would say that parliamentary democracy has more supporters and constitutional republics.

And even if us == the US, I would argue that most US citizens actually have only a very hazy idea about how their own system of government works, much less how others work. Most of these people think that chanting "USA, USA" in unison is democracy.

Alex Pretti would like a word.

Albania and Georgia have much healthier culture of resistance than the US.

The US has almost entirely lost this culture except for short moments in isolated places. Minneapolis is nearly a proof by exception in this. Very, very few people need to be detained or killed to get the mass of Americans to stay inside and self-censor. Much less is required to get businesses to put their head down and play nice with the government.

Buying a bond at a discount is no different than buying at face value and paying back with interest.

Any claims that there is any important difference is sophistry.

But this partition would be visible.

The OP had a version that is invisible.

Unless they disassemble this drive, a forensic dump will only show the open partition.

A similar distinction with opposite polarity, however.

A public school in Britain does not receive public funding.

A public school in the US is entirely publicly funded.

And make a video about how to make a dashboard (that you call Jarvis).

Wow... that took me several, uh, seconds to find.

There's your hard data.

What do you mean by "immunizing vaccines"?

In the first sentence, you say that flu vaccines are not and in the second you admit they are.

Maybe you meant that their coverage is not comprehensive. If so, that's what you should say.

mRNA flu vaccines have substantial potential advantages in terms of the ability to target a wider spectrum of variants and faster time to manufacture.

Pushing those vaccines saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

This is usually modulated by whether the fib is about something "material".

In fact, he probably would have had the same decision with or without the claim which is the essence of "not material".

My own personal take is that the lying is crucial, however.

That's a fair point.

My own experience with converting unpaid customers is that it is really hard.

A bad abstraction would have caused many updates in many places because the API would never quite stabilize due to having been a force-fit from the start.

A uses the abstraction, but finds the API doesn't work. Fixes that.

That causes B to have to make a tracking change which induces a bug. B realizes that the API isn't quite right. Fixes it.

That causes A and C to make tracking changes. These induce more bugs. C fixes the abstraction to avoid these cases.

This breaks A and B so they decline to update.

And so on. This is what a bad abstraction looks like. API "fixes" bouncing around the code as they reflect off of the bad abstraction.

I, on the other hand, have had to burn through countless cycles of security alerts because I used a library for JSON parsing that had all kinds of other features that I didn't need or want.

The security bugs were all in features I never wanted.

A bit of simple duplication would have been golden.
