Snoozus··on Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says
What's the scam?
Snoozus··on My favourite German word
Isn't it almost the same in English? Object is also a verb that means take a stand against.

Snoozus··on The first non-opoid painkiller
This is clickbait, there are at least two classes of non opioid painkillers in use since a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analgesic
Snoozus··on In-Memory C++ Leap in Blockchain Analysis
If the FBI tells you wallet A and wallet B belong to the same actor, how do you use that information, so that they can see it on their view, without leaking it to Europol?
Snoozus··on In-Memory C++ Leap in Blockchain Analysis
We built something very similar back in 2016, in the jvm with unsafe memory and garbage-free data structures to avoid GC pauses. The dynamic clustering is not too hard, are you able to dynamically undo a cluster when new information shows up?

Are you running separate instances per customer to separate the information they have access to?

Snoozus··on YouTube's new ads will ruin the best part of a video on purpose
or until revenues drop because people either watch less or avoid buying from companies that pay money to ruin videos...
Snoozus··on Chongqing, the Largest City – In Pictures
Most EU passports get 30 days visa free entry, everything is quite inexpensive, the super apps both have a translation feature now, which helps a lot since most restaurants take orders through them. It is super safe, no theft, almost no scams. Hotels and train trips on trip.com. The main challenges are to find a non smoking hotel room and to not gain too much weight.
Snoozus··on Multi-threading is always the wrong design
Using something you don't actually need is wasteful. When you don't need threads, don't use them. Trivially parallelizable problems should be trivially parallelized.

Sometimes you want to do something complex in a short time though. If latency matters, sometimes you don't have a choice. Running 10 instances of the same game at 10fps each is not the answer.

Snoozus··on iPhones were being stolen off porches right after delivery, and now we know how
It would be trivial to keep track the IMEI of the phones and to render them worthless by blacklisting them on the mobile networks. Why is this not done?

Same applies to any stolen phones btw.

In this case practically all german retailers are affected.
Snoozus··on The Arduous Luxembourg Visa Process
Many countries will allow you a second or even third passport, so you can still travel while visa are being processed.
Snoozus··on I've acquired a new superpower
That's just because US presidents are not very important.

Humanity will not forget Newton, Einstein, Shannon and Crick. And up to a point, trying to do what they did, discover new things about the universe is not an unhealthy goal.

Snoozus··on Journal that published faulty black plastic study removed from science index
Is this really clear from the study? Which utensils are made from black ABS and actually end up touching food? The lid of a blender maybe? It can't be anything that gets hot.
Snoozus··on Journal that published faulty black plastic study removed from science index
The study has other problems as well. The typical customer electronics cases where you would find the flame retardants would be mostly from ABS. Kitchen utensils used in a pan can not be from ABS or they would melt. So they are made from silicone or nylon. There is a table in the paper, but its vague at best.
