The pig kidney and heart recently transplanted have already been genetically engineered. So far it's only to avoid rejection, but other modifications are likely on the roadmap.

Do they? I more often see a mere slashing of a few zeroes and maybe a slightly different name, but with the old one being convertible and keeping the same monetary policy.

But in government entities usually the immediate superiors have very little leeway to change your salary, so the employees know it's pointless to argue over differences in a salary that has very strong rules that very few people can influence.

In private companies on the other hand there's usually a much larger margin for salary to be negotiated, which incentivizes the consequences you mentioned.

The contract address is on the post. (0xfed320e18caf45f53fb64301b16ab60c3bc8c42a)

But you are also concentrating your risk.

If you receive stock from your employer and it does not do well, that will probably harm your salary/job as well and you'll lose twice.

If instead you receive the cash value of the stock and invest elsewhere and your employer's stock tanks, taking your salary/job with it, your investiment elsewhere won't be affected.

This is an important point. I don't think it's fair to assume today's kids won't play Prince of Persia because they lack perseverance or because the game is hard. It may just as well be because the game is bad.

I played Prince of Persia as a kid, the game is amazing for its time. But game design has evolved in these 30 years, and it shows. When we were kids we didn't have better games to play so we had to persevere with PoP.

Nowadays, if you want hard platforming you can play Super Meat Boy or Celeste and fight with your ability to perform the required movements, not with the clunky controls.

If you want to explore an unknown world you can play Hollow Knight or Ori and enjoy a much larger and more developed setting.

Neither of these games are easy, but they have much more well crafted learning curves for example. PoP simply drops you in a dungeon and you have to die there until you manage to get the timing of the jumps, while Celeste has an "easy" first level and constantly ramps up the difficulty.

What do you plan to do when the portfolio loses instead of gaining?

I agree, and it makes sense for some security oriented OS.

But the comment I replied to seemed to suggest that the possibility of data exfiltration via USB is a bug in any OS.

Of course not, but then you're saying USB is a security flaw.

My point is that given how universal USB as long as a device can do both input and output it's going to be very hard to stop some exfiltration from being possible.

Do you really think a bug report should be filed on all OS's for allowing USB drives and keyboards to be plugged on a running system?

How will you prevent a USB device to present itself as both a keyboard and mass storage and then type commands that copy data?

Then you have multiple versions of every dependency for every application you use. Good luck fixing security bugs in all of those.

Also, you have to do that for python apps, for node apps, for go apps, for rust apps, etc.

As an user, I just want to run "apt install application" and have it work with dependencies kept up to date by the OS package manager and not have to micromanage the dependencies for all applications I use.

Can't you just produce an article with LaTeX and self-publish the article in relevant forums, a la the Bitcoin whitepaper? Maybe find some researches with published articles about this problem and send it to them asking for comments. If it is indeed a breakthrough it will make the rounds.

Or do you specifically want to publish in some journal?

When you are a regular employee at an agency you don't have much of a choice on what jobs to take. With an agent you are much more free in that regard.

I think it's a bit different than what I meant. In this agency case, the freelancer works for the agency, in the "agent model" the agent works for the freelancer.

I wonder if something like an agent could help with that.

In many freelance-heavy professions, like music and acting, having an agent handle this part of business seems to be the default. Is there something similar in tech?

> Is this based on anything serious? The problem is greenhouse gas emission into the atmosphere, not extraction of chemicals containing carbon from the ground.

If a large portion of carbon greenhouse gas emission is from burning of extracted chemicals, and a large portion of extracted chemicals are burned it seems to me simply taxing the chemical extraction itself is a good start, as it is simple to implement. I agree that taxing exactly at the point where emission occurs is ideal, but if that's too complicated to do right away starting with something simpler with a similar result is a good idea.

That is revealed in the first third of the book. I would prefer not having that info before reading, but it is part of the basic premise.

It's more like trying to use desktop computerd to serve the purpose of both supercomputers and smartphones. It would suck at both tasks.

Government[1] is a property of words often documented in dictionaries.

There may not be a price directly associated with the transaction, but it certainly has a cost. The fact that the cost is externalized does not eliminate it.

Deism?

I also ironically had to install Magisk on my previously unrooted LineageOS phone in order to convince a bank app my phone is not rooted.

Not if the externality is priced in for each of those products.

We should price in the externality where it is caused. I don't think raising a child emits any CO2 by itself.

If we price in the emissions where they happen it will be priced in for all consumers of the products that cause them.

Also, does it count as being on the market when you haven't delivered devices "pre-ordered" over 2 years ago?

I believe 3b1b uses his extensive knowledge of the system he developed to sometimes do hacky things that wouldn't be easy to support long-term. His repo may be better for someone who has a similar extensive knowledge, but won't be ideal for someone who is mostly interested in it as a tool and doesn't want to learn its innards.

You could create a group with only the both of you in your messaging app and set that group to not have notifications, then you keep the direct messages for urgent stuff. You could even have more than one group to keep conversations on separate topics organized.

Real fiat currencies come with much heavier regulation if you want to get money in and out of the traditional banking system.

Also, if you want to move money between exchanges or banks you'd have to use the regular transfer methods like ACH, SWIFT, SEPA, which oftentimes are not as fast and cheap as sending USDT between exchanges. That makes it much harder to exploit arbitrage opportunities and drives up the spread overall, for example.

IANAL, but I don't think games are copyrightable per se. You may have a registered tradermark on the name an logo, you have copyright over the specific artwork and text in the game, and you may have a patent in some specific mechanics of the game, but the game itself is not covered by copyright.
