And a New York suburb is being quarantined by the national guard.

The Finns are not particularly peaceful when it counts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War

Definitely agree, although it’s important to clarify that Cosmos is not permissioned. Anyone can start a validator and join the validating set.

Cosmos is PoS and released its mainnet in March.

They are pretending to be official outlets, according to the article.

> EU Disinfo Lab's investigation started by looking at EP Today, a website which claimed to be an online magazine for the European Parliament in Brussels.

> EU Disinfo Lab, which is an independent NGO, traced the servers behind the website to Srivastava Group.

Did anyone ever get caught by surprise when training on grass and doing the actual bullfighting on the mud that remained after training and initial fights?

He’s a resident of Singapore, so “looking to leave the US” was not really relevant. Seems he should have stayed away, though.

I’m in a similar situation.

Does anyone know of a service that can be made to automatically pick up a Twitter name as it becomes available?

Actually a bit odd that the robot doesn’t have a 100% success rate given enough time and unlimited tries.

I would argue that one of the foremost responsibilities of a journalist is to make a condensed and correct retelling of a story. If any part of the story could be wrong and requires readers to second-guess and look up stuff for themselves, the article is basically worthless or perhaps even of negative value, since people may have to spend resources correcting its misconceptions in the future.

The phrase "coding system" provides a good hint of the level of insight possessed by the journalist.

There are some technical details here, albeit in an advertorial format: http://www.volund.dk/Waste_to_Energy/References/ARC_Amager_B...

The plant is located very close to downtown Copenhagen, and there is no ash issue.

That IS pretty lame. Didn't know that had been introduced when I made the recommendation.

An alternative is to directly to github and download one of the releases: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/releases

If you’re searching for functionality like this, I recommend you also check out Boostnote. (https://boostnote.io/)

This blog post is in dire need of some sources to support the horrendous things it describes.

> For years I’ve had a silent policy that I won’t go on any of his shows. I’ve turned down or ignored multiple invitations. I’m making that policy un-silent now.

It is an important, general point that staying "neutral" when seeing a bullying situation is actually tantamount to siding with the bully.

Me too! Until reading this article, I hadn't found the other commands. I had been missing "Save image" and "Set as wallpaper" and wondered why they had become so difficult to access. FYI, it's also possible to save a photo in iMessages by long-pressing it.

Yeah, there are plenty of ways to abuse and misuse those as well. On the positive side, it's possible to make one piece of error handling for e.g. opening a file and writing to it. Just handle IOException. In Go, I have to do manual error handling for each step that may go wrong, ie. the file does not exist, program doesn't have permission to write to etc. In many cases I just want to handle the simple case of "unable to write to file for some reason".

My thoughts on Go error handling has made me conclude that there is probably no really good way to do it. Every approach will come with a load of downsides.

I love Go, but error handling feels like hand-carried, checked exceptions. And now they figured adding a “cause” field is practical. I’m getting deja-vu with Java exceptions 15-20 years ago.

Another example is the Wool series by Hugh Howey. That was one of the first big self-publishing success stories.

The books are incredibly entertaining and actually spawned a number of short stories and novels by other self-publishing authors set in the same universe.

A crash won’t hurt anyone? Did you see the size of that drone in the article? Having that land on top of your car or MC could very well cause significant damage, I should think.

Based on the bar-chatter, it sounds like the boy was being held against his will.

There’s probably also a case of negligence to be made. Keeping children in basements for a long time is likely to impede their development.

The story might easily be worth that in marketing for Firefox.

Contexts allows me to cmd+tab into specific windows, rather than an entire application. Literally did a little dance when I found this, as it was the only thing I missed from windows. https://contexts.co/

Yeah, but in a basket, so there will still be an exchange rate risk towards each of its currency components individually.

Interestingly, the list of team members appear to have vanished from the homepage.

Pretty good demonstration of why at least SOME regulation of the ICO space is a good idea.

Slightly more racy when trying from Denmark: https://southpark.cc.com/sitewide/img/messages/geoblock/dk.j...

What's happening to Stackoverflow? This reads like an advertorial? Are they going the "Forbes route" with lending out their solid brand to contributors with agendas?

Trouble is has that he seems to be in charge of their bi-annual reviews, which is actually rather solid leverage.
