I don't think there's a single language or framework that I haven't heard this about.

None of our tools are perfect, but great software has been written with all of them anyway, and lots of people have enjoyed working with those tools along the way.

The agreement by the USSR to permit IAEA inspections was signed in February 1985, a month before Mr Gorbachev was appointed.

I've played around with JS a bit. Worked on a little game engine. Knowledge of it comes in handy for playing around with other people's websites.

But it's still evil and I hate it.
Google.com is a website, belonging to a certain commercial company, which is obliged by law to work in the best interest if its shareholders. They can do whatever they want with their website.

Same goes for Facebook. Each time you read or post there something -- they generously allow you to do that using their website.

They don't break no First Amendment -- one is free to create their own website and practice their own free speech any way one wants.

PS: I'm not trolling, I'm just tired of how many people used to treat media resources like public utilities.

It might also be that the central banks are printing money like hell, and people look for places where their value stays better.

Sometimes you need to become calmer first before you even understand what exactly is the source of your stress and/or are able to act on removing that source.

Besides of that, any kind of life consisting of anything else than lying in bed in a closed, dark, sound-protected room includes handling a kind of stress. And that is only if you consider hunger, thirst and the urge to pee and shit to be no stress.

> We always have a manually managed reverse proxy in front. For us, it takes care of TLS, caching, and makes me personally feel better than having the app HTTP/TLS stack facing the internet. This is just an nginx container with `/etc/nginx` mounted.

well that is both your prerogative as well as your expenditure. We work in regulated spaces (finance in India) and dont get to have a lot of leeway in hosting and infrastructure. Docker is a lifesaver that way. Which is why we like letsencrypt, but it is a blocker for those of us using docker to run nginx itself.
Didn't read that, because title is enough for me. But usually people who hate javascript are those who didn't learn and understand it properly. I mean very basics, like concurrency model and event loop. I saw so many monstrosities in production, like checking for result of some async call, with setTimeout. No wonder, people who wrote that code, hate js.

Microsoft had the jump on WordPerfect when it came to getting a word processor on Windows. By Windows I mean windows 3.1, 3.11, the versions that worked and were bought with bundled MS software.

Furthermore WordPerfect people were touch typists, users of function keys. In previous times these people were the typing pool. Now we don't have typing pools, managers and others that would have used secretaries worked out they could do okay by themselves in MS Word with its toolbar buttons to embolden text etc.

Sadly the touch typing WordPerfect crew that had ensured the DOS years didn't really make it to the new GUI ways of working. Their muscle memory and need to keep the fingers on the keyboard kept them at the WordPerfect level of working, much like how you have programmers using 'vim' instead of a modern GUI like 'Notepad', there was no perceived improvement.

I remember how lame the Wordperfect for Windows was, it was not performant and the last thing you need with a word processor is that feeling your computer could BSOD any moment. It was all wrong for the Windows world but, as mentioned, Microsoft had the jump on that, they could even build in features to Wondows to support what would become Office if need be, Wordperfect didn't have that under the hood access.
Been a techie for more than three decades. Never saw the appeal in a smartphone or social media. I don't understand the fascination in broadcasting all of your personal information to the world (both via facebook and via wi-fi from your "smartphone") at all times. We all have desktops and laptops, why the need for a smartphone? I'd be willing to wager that I enjoy my leisurely train ride with my newspaper and my coffee far more than people who have their face glued to their phones. I believe there is more value in talking to a friend or a family member that you haven't seen in several months to catch up, rather than to be spammed daily with the inconsequential details of their lives (and they with yours). And god forbid you send a letter through snail mail! Life should be like a good meal or a fine wine, consumed slowly, thoughtfully, and with enjoyment.

RT is trash and propaganda arm of Russian government, however what Google is doing is thousand times more scary to me that what RT is doing. When you come to RT (if you do), you know where you are, you know how to evaluate the information and you don't even have to go there if you don't want to - every link would clearly tell you "you are going to RT". It is exactly what it says on the box, no surprises.

What Google is doing is essentially telling me "we own your information diet now, and for your own good we're not letting you to see this. Because we know what you should be seeing, and this is not part of it. So we will choose which content to show and not to show for our own reasons, and you don't bother your little head with it, we've got it".

This is an approach that takes away my choice, takes away my power to decide which content I want to consume. I'd probably be ok if the content Google demotes is clearly junk - like spam sites that game the ranking etc. Maybe even with sites which are clearly criminal or used as a tool to commit crimes. But here we clearly have tweaking search ranking as a response to political pressure. This is terrible, and also now you can't trust Google with not doing the same for any other reason - maybe they are tweaking the ranking to boost political candidates they like? Maybe to boost businesses they invest in or partner with? Maybe tweak it to demote some companies that offended them in some way or stepped on somebody's toes? Before, I could say it's paranoid to think so, Google would never risk their business by doing this. Now I see head of Google saying this and I can't honestly say it's just paranoia anymore. Thanks, Eric Schmidt.

That's why one should use every opportunity to use engines alternative to Google (I use DDG, other suggestions welcome) - when Google thinks they know what we need better than we do, it is a very bad symptom.

a "placebo" generally refers to an inactive control arm of a study of a drug. For studying something like meditation, you would use a different kind of control arm. The most common example is "treatment as usual". So half of ppl get meditation therapy for a given condition (say, depression), half get "treatment as usual" (pills and Or therapy). This has lots of problems as "treatment as usual" varies a lot from patient to patient, doctor to doctor

A better control is basically taking every aspect of mindfulness based therapy except for the mindfulness (i.e. You educate the patient about the condition, have a group therapy session with a healthcare provider, have at-home therapy assignments, etc). You standardize this "active control" and compare how patients do with this intervention compared to the mindfulness based intervention. This isolates the effect of mindfulness vs other potential confounding effects, and also should reduce physician to physician variability

In the one large study of mindfulness interventions using this active control, there was no measurable benefit to the mindfulness arm
For me it was very useful to understand that there are three things that need to coincide for an action to occur: 1) motivation, 2) ability, 3) trigger. Remove any one of them and the action won't occur.

When trying to get rid of undesired actions, many people (and guides) focus on the first one -- willpower. But that is the most fickle and difficult one to attack. It is much more effective to attack the other two: remove the ability (multiple layers of blocking certain websites, for example) and the trigger (identify the trigger and either find ways to avoid it or reprogram it by internalizing if-X-then-Y behaviors where X is the trigger).

This also works for building desired actions: make it as easy as possible to take the action, and program triggers to start them.

No. They blacklisted the stolen tethers, and all they now have to do is issue a new batch of $30 million worth of tethers. In no way this puts them in the red.

It should be trivial for me to turn my phone into a computer. I should need only a $20 USB hub in order to power my phone and connect it to a keyboard, mouse, one or even several screens. Or even connect them wirelessly.

Then, the OS should trivially handle this case and offer me access to high quality desktop apps.

I don't think either condition is true now.

Haha, thanks for your answer Brent. I think you're right about VMs. SQL Server on docker in prod is kind of a thought experiment of mine at the moment.

> dynamically adding Always On Availability Group read-only replicas

Yeah I doubt scaling SQL Server out dynamically will ever make monetary sense, but it might be cool to just get it working.

I'm thinking of creating a Helm chart for K8s that allows you to dynamically scale the SQL Server pod up and down. I think I'll need to use some undocumented DBCC commands (or call the API) to freeze IO, so I can replicate the data files to the new secondary as it spins up.

Horizontally scaling SQL Server would be cool. Maybe if the hosts were licensed so we could run as many containers as we wanted, it could make sense...
> Even the core of Christianity can be helpful. Life is far less stressful if you are generous in the most insignificant ways. Simple acts like letting traffic enter in front of you, over time, drastically erodes the stress that you feel in those situations.

I believe James May (of Top Gear fame) specifically calls this "Christian driving". It's amazing how much more relaxed you are after a drive, if you simply stop thinking of traffic as a race or a competition. You're not going to change your arrival time by any significant amount anyway, so you might as well just relax.

In traffic, the only winning move is to not play.
I was a Bitfinex customer when they got hacked. I lost 30% of my funds on that day. I couldn't be happier with how they handled it. They paid me back in full and did the best they could with the situation they had. People being upset with them over it is insane to me. As far as I can tell, it's mostly people who had nothing to do with it spectating from the sidelines. If an exchange you use ever gets hacked, I certainly hope they do exactly what Bitfinex did, for your sake. And you should too.
what i don't get is how would the consumer benefit of having these features? it all looks like a nonsense to me and I'd rather live without it. i think it's time to say goodbye to Intel and opt for another vendor.

> Tethers is a sole-source cryptocurrency, pegged to the US dollar.

There are others though not really at Tether's level. There is bitUSD on cryptocurrency called Bitshares.

> Is this good news for Bitcoin? Oh this is great news for Bitcoin.

Some more discussion on this topic here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15633852

To add to your post, there are some claims on the fact that it is not finex which has the highest volume rather Bittrex and Poloneix.

There is an interesting reason for that- there is no market for BTC/USDT on Bitfinex as far as I can tell:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/#markets

Though I am unable to open the exchange link - https://www.bitfinex.com/t/USDT:USD

This means if I need my USDT to convert to BTC Finex is not the place. They are rather Poloneix and Bittrex which have an exchange for BTC/USDT. Hence people are going to those exchanges in droves, instead of finex.

The second interesting thing is as far as I can tell, finex seems to peg the USDT to $1 and invariably sell/buy at the same price. There is no free float. While others have a free float to BTC/USDT which means prices can be pushed higher there. So I will not be surprised if Bittrex/Poloneix had higher BTC prices.

That said, the chart of USDT is also interesting:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/#charts

The peg was maintained for a long while before things seem to get hairy in April/May this year.

Bitfinex already fully financially recovered from the 119k BTC theft by repurchasing the last of the BFX debt tokens a few months ago.
> Read the post, man, very first paragraph:

I've read it a few times now, still can't find where they say they specifically created tether (the system) for this exact purpose. Keep in mind that the issuance of tether is not the creation of the complete tether blockchain/system (they are issuing new tether around the clock).

> That's true, except you probably have never tried to actually execute that kind of arbitrage before. I have, so let me tell you the problem tether solves: speed.

You are right, I have never tried arbing through the banking system. I am doing small/mid scale arbing in cryptomarkets, however I stay away from anything that touches any bank / FIAT.

Though my point is that: yes arbing through banks is slow, inefficient and very dangerous. People will do it nonetheless because of the margins you can make. The exchange does not care how hard it is or how people do it, just that there is some guy somewhere (potentially flying around with suitcases of cash) who is doing it.

So yes I 100% agree with:

> That is an enormous benefit to arbitrageurs equalizing prices, and inter-exchange liquidity.

But bfx only cares about the latter, not really about the people doing it.
I agree with all your points, but:

1. ...but why give them ability to charge based on what you're doing with access they give you? It's like your electric power provider would charge you more if you have a blacklisted freezer...

2. ...but maybe let's start by lowering the bar for new ISPs and getting rid of monopolies instead of giving them more means to squeeze more money? How getting rid of NN helps with that? Google couldn't get into that market.

3. ...but what if my provider throttles wired network, not wireless, and not 4k, but full HD? What if they throttle my twitch, because they got a deal with google to serve unlimited access to Youtube Gaming at the cost of limiting access to twitch? Sure, change IPS! Whoops, there's no competition in my area. What now?
> We literally are mining coal to burn it in powerplants to energize servers and GPUS to waste clock cycles to find "coins".

I'm curious to know what the carbon footprint of a human is, that way we can compare it to the GPUs doing an equivalent amount of work (which I think will be tricky to determine in the first place).

> The world is the realm and how we use its people and resources matters, especially when its to just create more entropy faster then natural systems

if anything, we're pushing entropy away, we're tending towards order not away.
I think this kind of misses the mark in some cases, or at least ascribes causality where there's little evidence for it. Some alternative hypotheses about slides 20, 22 and 23:

- The inSSIDer ad on the right looks got fewer clicks because the styling is outdated and obnoxious, whereas the one on the left is on-trend.

- The "control sweat" ad is worse because the word "sweat" is right there in big letters, and that's distasteful.

- The buttons with "free" got fewer clicks because they talk about money, not about the benefit of the product. Talking about money up-front is a warning sign to people, like they're overeager to prove the wrong thing to you.
