What's the difference? From what I'm reading online geometric is just the discrete version of exponential

I'm not so sure.

Centralization (on Binance) made the attack appealing, but decentralization (of crypto broadly) is the only reason it's possible, and centralization (of USDT et al) is the only path to recovery.

Re: the marketplace: we'd want to be able to revoke teacher access too, and sometimes we may need to roll back transactions (Goods not delivered? Wrong goods delivered? Wrong goods purchased?), and then I have to ask... why involve a blockchain at all?

The only compelling real world use case I've seen is helping people navigate hostile governments or dysfunctional economies.

Isn't this incident a case study in how immutable smart contracts are exactly what you don't want in a trustworthy financial system?

The stolen USDT will likely be returned because Tether can do manual freezes like a traditional financial institution.

Where code is law the funds are just gone.

Like even in your example of the marketplace I don't see the benefits over having a central authority. Who determines who is a student or teacher? Who kicks out bad actors? Who resolves disputed transactions?

I use the Stylus extension for site-specific CSS in Chrome. Usually end up with a big comma-separated list of selectors getting the { display: none !important; visibility: hidden !important } treatment.

You've either got a typo in there or DNS issues.

I'm not using the plugin, but this hides the code in the browser:

.cm-line span { outline: none !important; color: transparent; background: transparent !important; }

This is good advice for the LSAT too, and baked into LSAT Demon's app. If you can predict an answer before looking at the choices, you're probably on the right track.

The obsequious default tone is annoying, but you can always prepend your requests with something like "You are a machine. You do not have emotions. You respond to exactly my questions, no fluff, just answers. Do not pretend to be a human."

How do you know which way the red sphere is facing? A fun experiment would be to write two prompts for "a person in the middle, a dog to their left, and a cat to their right", and have the person either facing towards or away from the viewer.

Wasn't this the whole point of the Bill of Rights? Without it, some states wouldn't have ratified the Constitution. This was a concession (a weakening of federal power) made for a non-dominant political arm that nevertheless needed to be brought into the fold. That seems to me like it was "explicitly developed to resolve the problem of heterogenous goal vectors for a defined political population."

More broadly, "resolve etc." in the above quote sounds like a mathy expansion of "compromise", which happens in almost every legislative body every day. Although maybe that's done implicitly and not explicitly.

Even those with Adobe stock are not happy; Adobe's shares are down over 15% since the announcement.

And is this desirable? How does hacking your copy of a single player game harm anyone?

Also, SimCity eventually got an offline mode.
