Last week System76 CEO Carl Richell criticized age-verification laws for operating systems — but he now sees a "real possibility" Colorado's law might exclude open-source. Phoronix reports that the System76 CEO met with the state Senator who co-authored Colorado's bill, and then posted on X.com that the Senator "suggested excluding open source software from the bill."

В мае 2001 года DARPA разослала запрос предложений под сухим названием "Electronic Market-Based Decision Support". Суть: покажите нам, что рынки предсказаний работают для задач разведки.

Его имя стало синонимом точного, логичного и научного подхода к тому, что миллионы считают во многом делом удачи — азартным играм и финансовым рынкам. Человек, который не просто обыграл казино, но и перевернул представление о трейдинге и инвестициях, заложив основы алгоритмической торговли задолго до того, как кванты появились н Read more ›
