This is an absurd fantasy.
If you take psychedelics and go outside, no one is going to arrest you. Consumption of drugs, in most western nations, isn't a crime. Stop spreading this sort of asinine fear.

Why not use something more modern?
This is a completely unfounded claim. You have no evidence, no data, etc to back an argument such as this one.
Do you have any evidence suggesting otherwise that doesn't reduce to your dilapidated pessimism?
Do you know the kind of contributions immigrants have had in this industry? Do you know how important open immigration has been to the rise of tech?
NuCypher is building a distributed threshold cryptography network based on the Ethereum blockchain. (https://nucypher.com/). We launched our main product offering which leverages Proxy Re-Encryption to offer decentralized access control in October 2020.
We're looking for a rust developer who has a keen interest in cryptocurrency and distributed systems to work on a new product offering. You will be a core member of the team working on bleeding edge cryptocurrency technology. As such, this role is ripe for an ambitious person to help lead engineering efforts and make a dent in the space. We understand that finding experienced folks in this niche category of development is rare, so don't let your lack of experience prevent you from applying - there's a beginning to all journeys - all we ask is that you have a sharp ability to learn quickly.
Bonus points for experience with Tendermint or have contributed meaningfully in the cryptocurrency space before.
Email tux@nucypher.com to begin the conversation. No recruiters please.
I don't think the commenters who say they only get weird or bad content actually know how TikTok works, or how to use it. You can't just scroll your FYP and expect to get new content, you have to go out of your way to find it. FYP is just a feedback loop of videos you keep watching.
If you want to start getting more queer content, for example, start searching the #lgbt or similar tags and watching/liking/commenting. Your FYP changes really quick.
TikTok is instrumental for offering children and teens an "in-group" and finding their interests. If you're LGBTQ, you find really wholesome content. If you're depressed, you can find people being open about their depression. If you self-harm, you can find other people discussing and opening up about it. If you're in a toxic household, there's basically a whole support network for you. It's an exceptionally human way to interact with people online, and it's so much fun.
IMHO, TikTok has been the most wholesome social network I've ever used and participated in. Even as an adult (24yo), it's even helped me explore my own identity and how I relate to the rest of the communities I'm a part of. Legitimately, TikTok has helped me feel comfortable opening up and be more "myself" in public.
Probably between ~1-2%, if that.
"Enrol Now" should be "Enroll Now" :)
It seems this method of performing groundbreaking research and science is horrifically detrimental to our collective progress. There's no reason for these groups to compete when they could collaborate.
When a double-spend occurs, usually it's from a deep chain reorg. This is what people usually refer to as a double-spend attack, not the kind of reorg where it only affects a few of the top blocks (which isn't uncommon). The latter occur relatively frequently due to the nature of Proof-of-Work being essentially a race.
Consensus mechanisms can detect when a sudden "deep" reorg occurs, e.g. a sudden reorg of 200 blocks that we didn't previously expect to be reordered. When this happens, it's relatively safe to say that this is a double-spend attack and we can disregard the attacker's chain. There's variations of this that additionally add things like "checkpointing" wherein reorgs beyond a certain block depth (the "checkpoint") are impossible at the consensus level.
There's a lot to critique about blockchain tech, but miner centralization is a relatively dated concern. Yes, it's a concern for many blockchains, but for the major Proof-of-Work chains (Bitcoin, Ethereum), it's not an issue anymore.
Wow, I have no idea how you read that really awesome article and concluded with such a response as this.
The article demonstrates how the authors were able to collaborate with miners to safely secure $9M worth of tokens due to a security vulnerability in a smart contract on a public blockchain where anyone could figure out the vulnerability and execute it before they could secure the funds.
Being upset that a miner is able to pick transactions that they want to include in their block demonstrates a clear lack of knowledge in how these distributed databases (blockchains) work and any critique similar to this can be disregarded.
I don't know what to put on it, but I would like to host a FAQ or something for people who are questioning their sexuality and make it v wholesome.
I'm not very certain what value this adds to the landscape. Is it possible the developers can elaborate here?
I'm not quite ready to start my own venture just yet, but I like to "practice" by coming up with an idea, setting goals, moving towards them, doing interviews, etc. The startup school is a really nice program to follow along with and have conversations with other founders during. I'm basically using it to war-game a startup launch myself. The idea being that when the time comes that I decide to jump in on something I'm very passionate about and put skin-in-the-game, it should all feel familiar (if not just a tiny bit more comfortable).
Of course it's not a substitute for the real thing, but I think it's brought immense value to my skillset.
This doesn't represent a fact of any sort of linguistic truth whatsoever.
I hope not! What you described here is a great example of why EFF should win this case. Violating ToS is not and _should not_ be cause for civil or criminal action. If you don't want this user on your service, then remove them. If they continually violate your ToS and it results in damages or losses, then perhaps you have a more reasonable civil case than one invoking CFAA, but IANAL.
It's the same stupid arguments that people use to justify population control due to "overpopulation". There's a school of thought called anti-civilization that's a tad similar with some divergences that offers far more interesting critiques of industry. Once you get through that, post-civilization thought is also rather interesting.
But really, Anarcho-primitivism is essentially fascist dribble disguised as environmentalism and social justice.
For example, imagine that American Express be held liable because your card was stolen. That doesn't make much sense, thus they want to protect themselves against those claims.
The answer is simple: let the `DivsionByZero` exception raise! You don't have to return anything!
Better yet, you should have input cleansing/data validation before it gets to that point. The alternative presented in the blog post is absurd over-engineering.
The examples in the README and this blog post just give me huge "nope" vibes. Obviously Python could learn a lot more from functional programming, but this is the wrong way to go about a lot of it.
