It is not irrelevant if you want to use an expression such as "nasty, brutish and short", coined by Hobbes to refer to the condition of man living by himself, without a social structure to support him. It implies that people in the first world - specifically, the US - are living in conditions somehow comparable in their uncertainty to people living in a pre-civilized state. If anyone is minimally realistic about the first world, they will know that it is an absurd statement.

This kind of overly dramatic phrase is not accurate nor conducive to productive debate. Its only reason for existing is to make people indignant and unaware of their own privilege in order to make them support your cause of choice - or, more frequently, in order to make them fight the people who you designate as the "cause" of their "suffering".

There's also a personal aspect to my comment, in that I live in a country where, even if the USA's living standard keeps falling for the next 50 years, it will probably be just about comparable to here. Watching the most privileged people in the world be all "woe is me, I might not be as rich as my dad!" is not something I'm very able to take seriously.
You are asking "why btc".

You have read Lyn's post on QE - great!

Here's how I view it, and I believe Saylor as well: cash loses double digit % purchasing power annually for the things you want to buy and hold.

You can hold on to your melting pile of cash, or you can deploy that capital elsewhere. Art, wine, stonks, negative/0 yielding bonds, real estate, crypto kitties, or an asset that has been appreciating at a clip of 200%/yr.

Question is not why btc, but why would you put yourself at a disadvantage by holding fiat reserves.
Out of curiosity, when did you buy the artwork? $969 -> ~$90,000 is astounding, and I'm assuming it happened within a short time frame.
His point is that it's weird to have translated part of an organisation name where the organisation calls it something else. A bit like someone referring to "All Japan Airways", instead of "All Nippon Airways".
Thank you for the suggestion throwawayaway, but I don't think Yandex is quite what I'm looking for. They might state that they don't share data with the NSA, but I wouldn't trust any company that relies on data mining for their profits with my email.

I don't mind paying a small monthly fee for a secure email service. Does that expand my options?
The point is that "Japan University" is a mistranslation. The official English name of 日本大学 is Nihon University. A fairly reasonable mistranslation since 日本 is usually rendered as "Japan", e.g. 日本航空 is Japan Airlines.
Who's surprised? Can you cite someone?
It is a bold exaggeration to say that catalan is as different from spanish as portuguese or french. It is definitely a language, but extremely similar to spanish, much more than any other. Valencian resembles spanish even more.

While you're quick to conclude that valencian is getting extinct, don't forget about all the areas in Valencia where valencian was never, ever spoken, but it was forced into schools, and laws that require an official degree in valencia to work as a government official were set up.
They want it because it is simpler and more efficent. Only a small amount of users (very, very small) would explicitly opt out to a non unfied system. For those few user, keeping up the old system or building stronger separation in the new system is just nosensical for them.

Not happy with the options in there service, use something diffrent.
> "We are entering a time of state-sponsored intrusion into our privacy that we haven't seen since the McCarthy era."

We need a new word. Communism is to McCarthyism as Terrorism is to... ????

It's going to be easier to start talking about government overreach since the Patriot Act, all in the name of protecting people from terrorism, if we give it a name. Except that, unlike McCarthyism, it isn't centered on any single person pushing it. Ideas?
Awesome...lots of useful intel here. Please do update when you have some more results. Intuitively, I'm thinking a mix of as few words as possible to convey the use/value because I'm only going to give you about 5 secs of attention span. So at that point, I am either leaving or I want to know a little more, so there is where it gets interesting on how much and what kind of things produce the best results..maybe also a testimonial or two to build confidence.

Its not an app, but check out the www.theleanstartup.com I like how its rich with info in just the right places, then it draws you in deeper. Thanks for the info.
No. Your metrics are deceiving you, because your test suite under-weights or fails to include sophisticated searchers and programmers, and fails to include highly-specific queries with only a few results. For technical people, Google search has gotten so much worse it's hard to ignore.

Google fails for more than half of programming-related queries, because it splits up multi-word identifiers, and spelling-corrects valid technical terms to unrelated English words. It fails when searching for uncommon error messages in quotes.

This might be tolerable if turning on Verbatim mode was easy, but to do it (without a browser plugin) you have to first do a failed search, then click three times, the second of which is hard to aim because the target is animated by the first click.

Google Search fails whenever I'm doing a search where I suspect there are few or no results and want to confirm that. Then there are the queries with one or two matches on StackOverflow or a mailing list that fails to answer the question. You can't just move on, because there are pages and pages of scraper sites cluttering up the results with the exact same message. Improving the ranking doesn't help, because the problem isn't the rankings, it's that you don't know when you're done.

Then there's personalization, and in particular the inter-query persistence. You do this because some people make two queries, and include keywords that accurately indicate what they want in the first query, then omit them from the second query. In my own usage, however, if I do a second query it's often because the first query had something in it that I didn't want, which spoiled the results. Since I always include the keywords that were actually helpful, I get none of the upside. And if my second search then gives bad results, personalization means I can't trust that the reason is part of the query I made.

Basically, you've improved your metrics at the expense of everything on those metrics' blind spots. There are a lot of people whining, most of them unable to articulate what's wrong, but they are right. Now please, go enter these complaints into your bug tracker and fix it.
I could do a comparison. However, I prefer to just talk about what this does, rather than what other projects do or don't do. I have a lot of content already as it.

If you read the main page, you will (hopefully) in most cases come to understand what this tool does. You will remember it, then look at other projects that also handle deployment and see if they satisfy your needs.
You make a list of the tools you might use and try them out. Now you're doing the comparison and "experiencing" what works best for you yourself, rather than listening to my (perhaps in 3 months) outdated information which might be inaccurate.

Now, for convenience I agree that I could make a list to summarize what this is all about but I'm not sure if there's any need for it. The 3 main aspects are covered: "Core", "Hooks", "Modules" and a video demonstrating something very basic.

Regardless, as I already said, any input is welcome and I'll certainly take it into consideration. Thanks!
I've found matplotlib to generate really nice
graphs with Python.

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/

I've used it to graph things like IRC usage per nick before.
And often mobile is an extension of the core product not the product itself.

While this is true and you do have a point, the reason for this may is not always obvious. Sometimes it makes sense for mobile to be an extension of the core product.

Other times mobile is an extension of the core product because redesigning for mobile turned out to be a bigger task than anticipated because the product was not designed for mobile in the first place.

Not saying I agree that you should always do mobile first, but just pointing out that both of you may be right at the same time.
Perhaps it would be beneficial to decide what specifically you most want to do. If your 5 months spent job searching have been you informing employers that you're willing to do anything and everything they don't take you serious because you don't specifically want to do the thing they want to hire someone to do. This is pretty much what Patrick said to some degree. If you know what they want and revolve your resume/cover letter around this, it should help a lot. You don't have to send everyone the same resume.

My other comment is your email address. I hope you're not putting "aliengeek4u" on your resume. It's fine for normal personal use but perhaps you should register a second email in some form of your name.
Thats the more likely scenario, but also the much less interesting one, since, at least for me, the possibility of runtime reconfigurable hardware is what makes me like this.
i was also wondering what he proposed as a replacement for it
I have written stuff like this in node.js that's why I suggested it as one of the options he would typically use for this.

I figured he'd either send directly from one host to another with node.js or poll redis.

I'm sorry but what then? We'll have 200 corona tracking apps backed by random people, with no ties to efforts that actually do something useful, no scientific review of efficacy and potentially a non zero number of apps that are either malicious or misuse the data later on.

It's not like we don't have precedent with the latter at this point. Apple's stance doesn't really seem that unreasonable here.

Who would that help?
That's an integral part to me.

Hydroxychloroquine is what's actually mentioned in at least some of the stories. It is supposed to be much less hepatotoxic. Though the point that neither may work stands.
Seriously, all I see here is Paul Graham providing money for a logistics company to outbid other states for supplies. They need to provide more information to show otherwise.

We need people making links earlier in the supply chain to increase production, not funding a shipping company.
This is just my personal opinion but I believe the wealthy are both prepared for the pandemic and prepared for falling ill.

For the pandemic they are well supplied and enforcing a strict policy of social distance. No one in no one out of their estates, guarded by live-in private security and staff.

For falling ill they have prepared by going over their assets and updating their wills. Many will have underlying health issues already, so they may have prepared for their inevitable end of life before this crisis.

Wealthy people are typically not much different from the rest of us. I'm sure many of them are just as worried as everyone else, the majority of them however have strong family structure with multi generational members living on or in close proximity to their family estates. This is after all, how they became and remain wealthy, this is also how they will weather this current crisis and remain in the top 1%, most wealth is inherited or "Old Money", there are lots of people who get rich quickly but the wealthy understand that all the money in the world wont keep them alive for ever.

> mosh: Mosh is a popular alternative to ET. While mosh provides the same core funtionality as ET, it does not support native scrolling nor tmux control mode (tmux -CC).

I had no idea Mosh did not support tmux control mode. I was hoping to eventually use Mosh more, but not any more.

Glad to see Eternal Terminal works with FreeBSD too.
I had not heard of the term, but the ideas behind it are what I've considered. My own guess is that it's a mix of both genes and behavior. If being hardworking was based purely on the environment then I suspect that we would see a lot more success in treatment of ADHD without drugs. But it does make intuitive sense to me that it is something you can build up as well.
I would say that capital gains and professional are more variables than hard coded aspects as the lines may be drawn differently in a context.

With an actual warrior elite vs merchantdom you can subsitute "spoils" vs "profits". Both blocs depend upon both skill and capital in that case and find themselves in tension.

Feudal societies distrust merchants and often consider them beneath even peasantry - but the merchants in turn may force respect and have undeniable advantages for funding the warrior elites.

Similarly take the Antebellum US with the Southern Slaveholder "Aristocrats" vs the Industrialists. Both are capital dependent and rely upon lower classes although the later are far more skill demanding than the previous who make a virtue of idleness to those who can afford it.

Even Soviets and other "nominal Communists" totalitarians who furiously insist that they aren't fascists due to the least relevant distinctions have similar factional elite branches despite their capital being social.

My old company had the word 'Instruments' in its name but it was not a competitor to Texas Instruments. When I would meet people and tell them where I worked, they would often confuse it with TI. This was so widespread that my company made a t-shirt that had on it the slogan 'We don't make calculators.'
technology increasing faster and faster very nice post thanks for sharing this information
Firefox on Android has some plugins that can do this.

> With gyms re-opening as vaccine rates increased, Peloton's business took a huge hit: The company's market value has dropped from $50 billion last year to $9.8 billion as of early February 2022.

Did people not think that once covid is on the downswing people will exercise in gyms or go outdoors more? If we have such smart people going into finance why does this happen?
Right. And you'd need a fairly large area to take advantage of those items. It's easy to store away some kettlebells but once you get a bar and a bench you really need a dedicated workout space. A bike is much easier to roll in and out of the way. In my last apartment a bike was feasible even if it wasnt ideal for the space. Any type of barbell was too large.
It's more of a slow transition. New projects are in React now. Old ones will slowly be usurped into React over a few years.

> How long before some stores don't accept cash?

This already happens. My closest NFL and MLB stadiums do not accept cash for anything inside the park.

> from the perspective of anyone interested in using a payment system, the network they care about is the network of people who they can exchange things with

No it isn't; the network they must care about is the network that actually works and allows them to securely exchange things.

> What you're talking about is like arguing that people use US currency because of the special paper used to print dollars

If you think that's like what I'm saying then you aren't listening to what I'm saying.

> Whether it's something like Bitcoin's distributed ledger, trusted third parties or a central record keeping system just isn't a detail the average user cares about as long as they can buy a cup of coffee when they want to.

Which they can't do unless the network is secure and double spends aren't possible. And we're not talking about a cup of coffee, we're talking about an Internet payment protocol for transferring wealth trustlessly online.

> This brings up two areas where Bitcoin's system is a threat to its growth: the huge blockchain increasingly stymies mobile or poorly connected participants

Red herring, you don't need to download the blockchain to use the currency.

> and the requirement that miners acknowledge transactions adds latency to the transaction time which will be a challenge for speed-oriented businesses

Bitcoin isn't built for speed-oriented businesses, it's built for Internet commerce. That it doesn't suit a domain it's not intended for really doesn't matter.
It has nothing to do with lock-in. There's nothing stopping people from using Objective C to serve web apps, it's just that no one does it because Objective C is not a pleasant language to work in. People do choose to use Microsoft languages for things other than Windows apps.
The video jumps between loops. It's sufficiently distracting while I'm meditating that it makes me not want to use it.
Opera 12.16 on Debian, no Silverlight here. I even have a Firefox installed, too, but that still needs Silverlight which is not available for Linux (at least not in any of the official repositories).
As far as I have seen, the only people who have complained about flappy clones have actually just complained that flappy clones are 'trending', not that clones are made. In other words, they are just annoyed by being bombarded by clone after clone.
This isn't really a REPL, though. It's missing the L. :-) Not evaluating each line as it comes makes it less fun to use.

With some obvious caveats, I'm a big fan of the csharp REPL provided by Mono: http://www.mono-project.com/CsharpRepl
How do you go about using this as part of a web application? Can you run this on a Rails app client? I went thru the docs, but couldn't find much info.
Yeah I was just thinking that. It must have cost a crazy amount.
So it seems cop screwed up. He could obtain proper search warrant, but he did not. So phone search is allowed, just as usual, with proper warrant. Otherwise - it is illegal search.
Not really, most of the centralized ones could just be replaced with a mysql server and have the same properties. Notable exception being some of the proof-of-stake schemes, but its not like that's a scaling tradeoff but a totally different approach.
> ConTracked: A proposed replacement for government contracting. For example, the state might issue a billion ConTracked tokens which have a base value of zero unless a decentralized court agrees that a bridge meeting certain specifications has been built over a certain river, in which case their value goes to $1 each. The state auctions its tokens to the highest bidder, presumably a bridge-building company. If the company builds the bridge, their tokens are worth $1 billion and they probably make a nice profit; if not, they might resell the tokens (at a heavily discounted price) to some other bridge-building company. If nobody builds the bridge, the government makes a tidy profit off the token sale and tries again. The goal is that instead of the government having to decide on a contractor (and probably get ripped off), it can let the market decide and put the risk entirely on the buyer.

This seems like a good idea.

The government could prevent shorting government-issued tokens.
That raises an interesting question. Are there any such rewrites that have succeeded? I have mainly heard that it is either failures or not done.
My main problem with Excel is it does many things but it's never the best tool for any job.

If I could only use one piece of software forever it would be emacs. I find it sad that Excel would be considered in the same light. It makes me think of caged animals at zoos.
It's like in any communist state before (we had the same in Poland).

You can blame an individual, even sentence them to death, but you cannot ever criticise the system/party. Nor shine a light at any evidence that the system is wrong. This is a deadly sin.

For the party to admit, there's flaws in the system, would collapse their whole authority.
Sorry, missed this. I date/timestamp everything (a) so that it also functions as a diary, and (b) as an aid to memory - sometimes seeing the time/date helps me reconjure the context of the thoughts.
No, I don't want the government to get involved. I hold the (probably far more radical position than you) that government is not entitled to secrets at all, and that all government employees should be live-streaming their activities to the public Internet at all times while on duty.

I was presenting an alternative on the assumption the government would anyway.
I don't understand. Why not just use a decent resolution digital camera to take a picture of the chips?
Suspicion might be warranted if the page only discussed size. However, it lists many features.
There's almost no place in IT which is comparable to SV pay. It's not very useful as a benchmark if it's a complete outlier. But there's also a lot of reasons people don't want to live/work in SV - even given the massive pay.
Moxie seems to think that they need to do this to keep up with the Joneses, as they try to build some kind of decentralized alternative to WeChat. I guess we should have seen this coming when he got involved with MobileCoin. I'm not a psychic and it might turn out okay but it still seems like a bad idea to me.
Thank you. Still trying to figure out what Server Message Blocks have to do with all this :)
Monday: cat gets some porridge. It looks at it and says: screw it! And walks away.

Tuesday: cat gets porridge again. It looks at it, sights and exclaims: porridge! And walks away.

Wednesday: cat gets porridge again.
It looks at it in a semi-curious way. Hmm, porridge.. And walks away.

Sunday: cat gets porridge again.
It looks at the porridge, its eyes fully focused on it. It smells it.. It walks around the plate trying to catch even more smell of it. And then it screams: porridge!!!!!!! And eats it all in just a few large bites.

If you of education as teaching you how to get what you want, then go ahead and run the numbers to decide. I believe it's better to think of it as helping you learn what to want. In that case the numbers won't help you much and that the humanities are probably undervalued.

Case in point. What is the value of studying history? Nobody is going to pay you to vote to avoid the mistakes of the past. So it will never show up in a study.
That's a list of things he said he gave away, not necessarily what he was eating.
IE 8.0.7600.16385 on Windows 7 x64 has the text going outside the buggle on the right, as well the background color of the header extending out to the right as well.

Chrome 5.0.375.70 on "" also has the text flowing past the right side, but the header bg doesn't.

I suspect the issue is you UL is 100% width, plus padding, but I'm no CSS whiz.

Cool idea though and good question, I've been curious about how to make a public API as well.
