When I first visited Tianjin in 1999, there were a few partially completed tall concrete husk skyscrapers around town. Basically, they were victims of the Asian financial crisis, which, while it didn’t hit China hard, it hit them hard enough. China has been through boom and bust cycles before, it hasn’t been straight growth since the 80s for sure, even if it looks like it has been on paper. But after the crisis, they either refurbish the buildings into third-tier office space, or tear them down and start again.

I don’t think it really affects the rest of world at all. Raw materials will suffer, so the mining sector will take a hit, but that has happened already. A good crisis coupled with some opening up could make China more appealing for international (non-China focused) tech, which is simply difficult ATM with the current property bubble.
My funniest thought of this whole affair that whatever performance upsizing happens in the front is probably going to be with manufacturer discounts from Intel from Amazon Google complaining and the cloud providers may end up with a windfall in the gap.

What's really awesome is that when you become "good" at guitar you realize the mind melting shredding you hear is also super obvious. Your fingers just do it because you're on a guitar. All lawsuits involving guitar should be settled on stage. Every other instrument knows guitarists are cheaters.

Realizing how much money and time can be saved cooking rice and beans.

Good tip make “sofrito” ahead of time (puree peppers, onions, cilantro, garlic) and freeze it in an ice tray so it is already portioned and ready for when you cook.

Rice and beans takes about 20 min to make without much effort, and is pretty nutritious. Not to mention you can eat for dollars a day.

Edit: My grandmother used to feed the whole family for less than $20. And most of that cost is in meat.

I find it funny that CRLF as a vestige of devices long gone is ridiculed, yet the same people don't bat an eye at emulating an in-band sort-of API for controlling cursor movement and display characteristics for similar devices of the past. Heck, *roff and man continue to format text by using overstriking to create underlined and bold text and rely on the terminal emulator to understand that this happened to create a particular effect on physical printers and emulate the result.

Neither world is clean, pure, and free of weirdness that's only properly understood when looking decades in the past.

The ghost cities are more like ghost outlying districts of existing cities, and they are often heavily sold as speculation plays, so people own the apartments but few live there (Kangbashi in Ordos is a big example, being built up for 2 million, settling for 100k atm). They simply lack the jobs and facilities to attract people.

Meanwhile, places where people want to live become increasingly congested. However, you’ll find ghost malls even in Beijing and Shanghai (unneeded retail space).

That’s easy: Japan.
The emergency alert system has been used here in Minnesota for tornadoes, amber alerts, and flash flooding. Sitting in a room and hearing every phone go off or waking up to your own phone making the warning tone is quite alarming.

If I received one about a nuclear missile I'd assume it's legitimate and at least take some minor precautions while trying to verify the alert. It's foolish to assume every unlikely alert is a false alarm.

That said, a single nuclear missile seems incredibly unlikely to me. I'd expect multiple missiles and an associated cyber attack if another nation state was willing to start a nuclear exchange. A single missile is just inviting the wrath of the US and rest of the world for little benefit.

No it is true. I said all music genres share a common ground. We can take all genres of music and boil them down to a structure. What makes Jazz different than Heavy Metal? Or better, what makes Bebop different than Big Band or Fusion? They all share the "Jazz" element that we recognize as being uniquely Jazz. Its the Rhythms, notes, chord progression, modals, timbre and harmonies. You get the idea.
Sorry, I was a bit unclear as English is not my mother tongue. I thus expressed my thoughts not correctly/clumsy.

"cover without permission": I meant to say stealing everything from a song (text+music) 100% while claiming it is your own.

2 months ago I signed up for a 30 day trial to search for people to hire and then 140 eu/mo if I decide to continue using it.

Of course I forgot to stop it (they were pretty quiet also) and they charged me 1400+ eu for a full year because...why not - no refunds (that's what their page says).

I know, I know...should have read the whole shebang. Lost 1400 euros for something I didn't really use. I was about to pay for a month and discontinue but now I feel robbed. I do websites myself and I write in `bold - caps - red` when I'm about to charge someone for a full year.

Shady tactics.

Do we know what lead to skyscrapers being built? Intuitively I'd think economic prosperity and density. However, Europe has a pretty good economy, is more densely populated than many other regions, yet hardly any skyscrapers to speak of. Do they maybe get built when you need lots of space in the same location quickly? Like when you have a extreme high growth company. Given most skyscrapers are used by several completely different business, that doesn't fit the bill either.

This is not meant as a criticism of skyscrapers. In have I LOVE skyscrapers, especially ones with nice bars on top. I just want to understand what circumstances lead to them being built.
Sure, there are differences as well, and there is no point in always mimicking C++ approaches in Rust 1:1. But I think overall, coming from C++ to Rust should be one of the easiest transitions.
I’ve heard some rumblings that this is what some HFT shops were doing years ago to minimize latency and to reduce context switches. Because they already run bare metal and don’t share anything besides a physical facility with their competitors (if even that) the attack vectors are not the same as those running on shared machines either.
Jealousy is a very real human emotion.
In my early years, my dad used to take myself and my brother fishing. What I found to be the best is that it's an excuse be busy doing nothing. Sure, you're waiting on a sign that a fish has taken the bait, but most of the time you're just in a relaxed state, surrounded by nature. The fishing line gives you something simple to focus on, and by doing so it frees up your mind to appreciate your surroundings.

I didn't understand the connection between fishing and meditation when I was younger, all I knew is that it was both relaxing and interesting, and a way to bond with my family, but even though I don't go fishing much now I still feel like I "get it" because of those early experiences.
I have several objections to your argument, many of which others have covered, including the actual lack of user fees. But even at the most basic level your argument doesn't make any sense. Technology enables more efficient service delivery, which means we can do more with the same budget. Budgets are constrained by politics, which as you say is probably morally wrong and an inadequate response. Yet we can change the technology more easily than the politics. Or, at least the people who choose to contribute with technology can do so more easily than they can completely transform the US political discourse. Plus, even if the politics change, more efficient services will continue to benefit society by reducing the total costs. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Some of these issues do seem concerning, but most wouldn't be profitable unless every miner was doing it (because the impact on one of these malicious behaviors will be felt in a later block).

Unless you're lucky enough to mine two blocks in a row, I don't see how you can gain directly from malicious transaction reordering. You'll consume the first retrieve fee, but the second retrieve will be in a later block (which you probably won't mine).

I'm not saying this is ok, but I'm also not sure this particular situation is worth the effort to exercise.

Transaction insertion, however, sounds like it would be very effective for the case presented. On the other hand, how big a deal are "guessing game" dapps?

You can sum all this up by saying, "consolidation of mining power can be used to exploit the network at the cost of non-miners". But consolidation is a problem for reasons beyond just these examples.

Finally, if a network becomes so corrupt, people will move to a different cryptocurrency (which will lower the value of the corrupt network). Thus, the bad actors would be taking small short term gains at their own cost of long term survival (especially when considering sunk costs in hardware).

They're talking about the so-called skyscraper index, "a whimsical concept put forward by Andrew Lawrence," but which posits that a spate of skyscraper building precedes an economic downturn but it is a conjecture that hasn't been verified†.

“A study by Barr, Mizrach and Mundra (2015) […] They find that there is virtually no relationship between the timing of record-breaking buildings and the business cycle. […] In other words, the study finds that extreme height is driven by rapid economic growth, but that height cannot be used as an indicator of recessions.”

Yup. The USA has actively created plenty of shitholes - in places where the faces are not pure European white - and that gets zero public reaction.

The current POTUS uses the word shithole to describe a group of countries and he's X, Y and Z.

Yeah, Trump is a moron. But the hypocrisy of the press and the public is a moral violation.
One very tall skyscraper might be a contra-indicator for economic health, like Dubai. All the wealth is concentrated in a few hands. But lots of tall skyscrapers going up everywhere? Lots of people are accumulating lots of wealth. That's some form of progress
The statement was: "Usually a good contra-indicator for economic health". It's a surprising and counter-intuitive claim. Requires more than a single example. It at least requires more examples than you can find to show the opposite of the claim.
Just intonation is far more mathematically accurate than equal temperament, but it often sounds badly out of tune to listeners who are acculturated to the latter. 12-TET is a convenient fudge, but it isn't optimal. We have become deeply accustomed to a fairly arbitrary approximation of a somewhat arbitrary set of subdivisions.

To complicate matters further, pianos deviate substantially from equal temperament at the extremes of their range. A piano sounds more in tune if the bass notes are tuned slightly flat and the treble notes are tuned slightly sharp, to accommodate for the natural inharmonicity of the strings.
Point taken, though my GitHub page is right under LinkedIn for the common spelling of my name on unbubbled google search. Also, you can figure out the right spelling by skimming the top ten of the other spelling’s results (oddly, LinkedIn is the top hit for both spellings).

I mostly just crosslink across reputable, indexable domains and make sure the same keywords show up everywhere that’s possible. :-)

But, yeah, nothing seems to think my web server should be in the top ten of any keyword search.

I get that everyone is talking chord progressions, but honestly, to me in Del Rey vs Radiohead: it is the vocals of the opening part of Get Free. Because that's the part where I'm thinking "hey, this sounds like Creep" (not a musician).

I think your point only holds for abductions if you can demonstrate that there were more prior to the cultural change in attitude towards roaming. Is that demonstrable? I don't think it is.

Thanks for the reply. Living on the (sort of) other side of the world, in the UK, I don't feel under immediate or direct threat from current tensions. I am truly thankful that, for my generation at least, that this is the case. It's easy to forget, or minimise the experiences of people much closer to current political tensions and IMHO healthy to be reminded of them periodically.

That's not the future, that's the past. Check out atonal music, almost a century ago. Turns out no one wants to listen to it even after repeated exposure.

The future of music is stuff that sounds good but not because you've already heard it. To create it you need a vivid musical imagination, not randomly messing around with an instrument. Read about Michael Jackson's creative process. He would imagine a song fully in his head and then sing each note of each part to his band: "here's the first chord, first note, second note, third note. Here's the second chord..."

I lived in Stuttgart for 10 years (I’m British) and the post-bombing photos of the city filled me with sorrow. 21000 long tonnes dropped on that beautiful provincial city.

Sadly reconstruction was not as kind as it was in Munich (less money presumably).

I love that place and miss it dearly.

Yeah I think it's one of the worst reactions you could have.

Without any indication of how bad the attack actually is, you should really assume the best and set yourself up to be able to survive.

What if it's a conventional bombing, or you're not directly in the blast zone? Or if the nuke fails to detonate?

The immediate aftermath if the most important time. While he's futzing around with Youtube and getting drunk the more intelligent people are coming up with a plan to live.

The issue at hand is how LinkedIn defines “public”. From the public profile settings page the author linked:

> Select what shows via searches on Bing, Google, etc. as well as on public profile badges and permitted services like Outlook, when the viewers are not logged-in members or did not bind their LinkedIn account to their account on such services.

Its not anyone who isn’t logged in but rather a subset of unauthenticated users who discover your profile through a specific set of avenues

Clicking on the informational icon next to “public” reinforces what they mean:

>All LinkedIn members as well as others who find you through search engines (e.g. Google, Bing) or other servies.
Japan is the most apt example. Excess is usually an indicator that a crisis is on its way. The housing bubble pre 2008 in the USA, the roaring 20s before the Great Depression. This isn’t a controversial observation that steep rises are typically followed by even steeper falls, which is why the balloon analogy is so apt. But ATM, china’s situation most resembles Japan.
LinkedIn is going the MySpace way. Total crap “content”, endless amount of people that indeed just want “connect” without intro, reason or anything else than bumping their numbers. Weird thing, I found it pretty useful up to 2 years ago. I guess that’s when the influencers takeover and bullshit blogging began.
As a European. Ouch. It's not like there's no economic activity in Europe so I wonder why that is? We don't like verticality?
> I'm sorry, but then nothing is a choice.

No, this is a generalization. Without getting into a discussion on determinism you can call a "choice" a decision that a person is able to ponder, discuss, explain.

People can be temporarily pushed out of the ability to make rational decisions in many ways. Examples abound.

To be honest the spec is such a convoluted mess of hacks and patches, I'm amazed it's stuck to at all. At work we actually stopped bothering supporting all browsers for our product because of the endless compatibility issues, and just told our customers to stick to Chrome, which they were fine with.

End result is a simplified and streamlined development cycle for us, no time wasted on fixing other browsers, and we always get to use the latest features (Chrome just seems to be up to date with everything straight away). Customers were already using chrome as their default browser anyway, so it's a win win.

Don't install random binaries either. The security implications of that should be fairly obvious.
