what metal is it made of?


Bronze.

Hallstatt was bronze age, and if it was an outlier like meteoric iron (a) it would look like it (corrosion) and (b) it would have been called out.


This article is the first I've ever heard of the Hallstatt culture, but wow were they awesome. Check out this amazing bronze bucket from ~600 BC. It has rivets!

It is corroded. That's why it's green.

Which, yes, means it's bronze, but note that it's being described as an "iron age dagger" and they think it was manufactured in southern Europe and traded to the north. Iron wouldn't be surprising.


DDoS?


Seems like it. Page loads occasionally succeed.


No Doge. Similar denial of servuce.


cant wait for someone to lose all their money trying to predict stocks with this thing


the first hedge fund was a boat or an ox cart


bait


Eh, how about look at the axis units when someone is pitching you something.


good


aren't oracles, just attempts to escape the halting problem?

assume you have an O which doesn't halt

now feed P which DOES halt into O

oh look it catches it!

misses the boat


No, in fact you can use oracles to prove the halting problem.


This is what happens when you gatekeep replies / lurking.

Remember StackOverflow...


An odd takeaway. The article seems to imply that most of their issues stem from spam and low effort questions/answers. Both from users and their own AI. More gatekeeping might have been the solution here.


By making it harder for people to use the site casually, you tip the balance in favor of spammers and away from people who actually have an interest, and therefore usually some knowledge, on a given subject.


link?

Makes sense that eventually they will ask for Vladivostok back...
