- aethersonI understood the situation here to be that the same private owner owned all of the private squares in this particular area. I would assume that most private owners won't be interested in buying squares deep in the checkerboard for access reasons.
- But they don't have the same access problem because the public squares don't have access restrictions.
- I mean.
The artifact you link shows a map of the Americas in which California is an island and either Tierra Del Fuego is huge or the bottom of Argentina is an island and the northwest of the continent trails off into nothing, and Florida is sort of a stubby nub (other maps from this period show a more accurate Florida, so this might be a small-size-of-the-object problem).
They had a decent view onto the east coast of the Americas, but after that things got quite inaccurate. It's like... I don't know what anyone's expectations are, but it certainly isn't the perfect world map that's shown in the main image of Wikipedia's article.
- No, and the article shows a not-even-attempting-accuracy period version of the coat of arms a little below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SouthSeaCompany_TradeLabe...
- Do you know what else stops working if you stop taking the therapy?
Diet and exercise.
- I enjoy my trips to Japan as much as the next guy, but the idea that Japan is a model of great governance is at the very best arguable.
- I was at a company that spent over $90M a year with AWS and we got defensive, limited comms.
- My experience with AWS is that they are extremely, extremely parsimonious about any information they give out. It is near-impossible to get them to give you any details about what is happening beyond the level of their API. So my gut hunch is that they think that there's something very rare about this happening, but they refuse to give the article writer the information that might or might not help them avoid the bug.
- Yes, there are clear ergonomic reasons why we don't do this "assign a username" thing. But it would stop password stuffing.
You'd presumably do username recovery the same way you do password recovery, so it would only be accessible to an attacker who compromised the user's email.
- Because credential stuffing relies on the user reusing a username + password from another site. If you provide the user with a username they don't select, it won't be reused.
- Lobbyists work for money, not the love of the game or ideological conviction. There's really no inherent reason why a former lobbyist will retain a loyalty to a former employer now that they've moved on.
- It's a one-dimensional orbit, right?
- Well, let's go with a learning exercise. Do you think that you should dismiss the fact that someone said something dumb because you perceive them as being on the right side? Then I guess it's good for you.
- It's a deeply non-capitalist perspective to demand that everyone respond to dumb posts with sentiment instead of analysis.
- Money spent on startups isn't charity, you do it in the expectation of (in aggregate) profit -- so it's not rivalrous with charities. People who might support museums earn money on investments that they can then use for charities.
If you believe that you are better at picking winners (slop startups vs non-slop startups) than the rest of the investment world, then that's a valuable skill that you could use to earn a lot of money that you could then use to support museums if you choose.
- The author's children were going to an elite private school immediately before going to Alpha School.
- But you can draw comparisons with other expensive private schools, which is what the ACX article does.
- These aren't predictions. They're vague sentiment.
It would be interesting if the author were to try to express these with a timeline in a way that is falsifiable, optionally with some kind of measure of certainty.
- In katakana you lengthen the "e" sound with a dash-like character, but in hiragana you lengthen it with an "i" character, and most romanization schemes follow the hiragana and write the long e sound as ei.
- Mice, flies, vermin of various kinds that seemed able to show up anywhere from no obvious parents.
