Yes obviously if your money is completely burned then it's gone, but that is generally pretty unlikely to happen. Losing your digital key is many orders of magnitude more likely to happen in my opinion. And there is - by design - absolutely no way to get it back. That makes using blockchain for anything serious completely untenable in my opinion.
Speaking personally, I firmly believe that being an Eagle Scout and HS Honor Society student helped me get into a good college.
I frequently discussed being an Eagle Scout (and scouting in general, which I was deeply involved) during engineering internship interviews and the interview for my first job out of college. I do believe this contributed to starting off my career strongly.
Now about a decade removed from college I don't bring these topics up, but I do still feel the positive contributions they had on my trajectory. Not even to mention the benefits they had on my soft skills.
As you say, to start out the ratios are simple enough, but to a beginner it'd be a good exercise to plop the Red and Green science ratios into a spreadsheet for practice. Once you upgrade your assembly machines there is a modifier bonus applied across the board, now you need to account for that in your ratios. Not only can you pump out more product from the same footprint, but you potentially need to rebalance your ratios to account for the modifier.
Once you get into speed/efficiency/productivity modules complexity can really ramp up. In addition to getting the ratios correct for the machines, belt speeds need to be factored in, production rates need to be considered...
If I'm getting some feedback from a peer and they tell me "Usually your code is extremely well documented and ready to go as is, but your most recent PR doesn't cut it because xyz" I am glad they have included the "but" in the sentence so I have more context for their comment. It accomplishes two things: It lets me know they are providing this feedback from a place where they are familiar with my work (context for the feedback), and it is a complement (which is always nice to receive).
True, the actual message is what comes after the "but," but(!) that doesn't make the first half of the sentence unimportant.
> That's a funny one, and I agree, and it's also the reason I use "and" instead of "but" for those kinds of sentences. It doesn't trigger people's alarms.
In this case the advice isn't all that profound, the "but" is just sectioning off the first part of the sentence like a parenthetical.
I like to think of myself as a levelheaded and rational person, but nothing gets me enraged more than barely working technology.
If someone hacks your account and initiates the transfer, or you get scammed by someone, or you accidently transfer your title to the wrong account, or someone forces you at gunpoint to make the transfer... the courts can deal with and reverse these things. What your options are with a blockchain?
Increasing internet bandwidth and speed for consumers induces demand, like more and higher quality streaming services.
This cannot be a case of Require IDs first, deal with the repercussions later. These steps MUST be taken together or not at all.
It also becomes partisan when you look at the IDs that are considered acceptable in some places.
- Hunting license: Allowed - College Student ID: Not Allowed
Hmm, I wonder if the demographics of those populations might have affected that decision somehow...
The root of the problem is some people see Slack as more synchronous than others. I personally see Slack as more async (more synchronous than an email, but less than a phone call). I screen messages as they come in and respond in a way that makes sense to me. Likewise if I send somebody a message I don't expect an immediate response. Somebody simply sending "Hey" forces the conversation to be synchronous.
How do we find a healthy middle ground?
> If a computer malfunctions, runs a stop sign and t-bones me, I could very well be paralyzed given the multiple structural issues with my spine.
How are these two statements in any way related? A computer malfunction can cause an automated car to run a stop sign and t-bone you whether or not that car is programmed to slow down to 0mph or 5mph.
You're stuck thinking about the way that humans make mistakes, computers can still make mistakes, but they're of a completely different nature.
Consider a thought exercise - In your opinion which of these is a better way for an automated car to approach a stop sign?
1) Slow down to 5mph as it approaches the intersection and evaluate if it's safe to continue; if it is the car may continue without coming to a complete stop. The acceleration profile is designed so that the car has 15 seconds total to evaluate the situation before continuing through the intersection.
2) Slow down to a stop at the intersection and immediately continue if it's deemed to be safe. The acceleration profile is designed so that the car has 10 seconds total to evaluate the situation before continuing through the intersection.
If we were talking about a human there is certainly an argument that option 2 is safer since human are generally bad at multitasking and requiring a period of time dedicated to looking for hazards is a good idea. However, a computer does not have the same issue and option 1 could be considered safer due to the increased time spent observing for hazards.
It appears the image search is closely tied to the overall web search; the images returned are images from pages that match the search terms.
What would I expect a search for something like "white inventors" to return? Are there lots of websites cataloging inventors who are specially white, or discussing inventors specifically because they are white? Probably not, why would there be? But what about websites discussing non-white inventors, or talking about white vs non-white inventors? That seems much more likely to me since discussing and/or promoting a minority is more notable and common.
So it seems like the algorithm has decided to categorize "white inventor" and "black inventor" in very similar ways - both search terms are returning results relating to inventors of different races, whereby a non-white inventor is more interesting since it's the exception. I don't think it is surprising that these search results are as they are, and this seems much more likely to me than the whatever the alternative is that you are suggesting.
On a related topic, if you search for "black people" one of the image results is King Kong, and it comes from a website discussing comparing black people to monkeys. Another one of the images is (white) Mitch McConnell surrounded by other white people.
If you want an image search engine that is returning images whose content matches your search terms, there are tools that specifically focus on this.
Also some mods can counteract resource depletion if desired.
Perhaps a better example is stop lines at intersections; sometimes stop lines are so poorly painted that you cannot see any oncoming traffic unless you pull forward another 5-6 feet. The letter of the law says you still must completely stop at the stop line, pull forward and completely stop again, then continue. Does anybody actually do that?
