No because to really hold USD, your bank would need its own account on FedWire [1] (USD's Real Time Gross Settlement) in which money is legally guranteed. Alternatively your bank can have an account with a bank (called Correspondent Bank) that have account on FedWire.

Any more indirections would be too risky. If your bank has neither, then no other bank would talk to your bank over SWIFT/CHIPS/RIPPLE/etc, making your bank basically banned from USD banking.

Usually and and in this case, even accusations or investigation of money-laundering/etc would make a CB to derisk [2][3] and proactively cancel account of accused bank or CB would risk access to FedWire. This is how USG was able to force FATCA over the world.

This is good article you've probably already read on the topic of counterfeit eclipse glasses: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/09/science/eclipse-glasses-r...

Perhaps the worst thing in my mind about the lack of education (for one reason of another) with reference to eclipse glasses is that good pairs can easily be shared around with minimal planning (I always buy extra new pairs as souvenirs more than anything). The partial phases just aren't things that anyone stares at for minutes on end, and totality requires that eclipse glasses be removed.

Hopefully there'll be more experience at hand and education by 2024 to avoid a repeat of 2017 (which in the grand scheme, was mostly isolated cases of poor outcomes - for most people, the biggest risk would have been driving to an eclipse site).
I would like to think that I wouldn't but probably I am of less stern moral fiber than I like to imagine.
> Imagine if a policy were instituted that benefited minorities, then someone proposed that it should be tweaked so that it didn't help Asian-Americans so much and helped white women instead. They'd be laughed out of the room.

That exactly describes the policies many have adopted, either explicitly or implicitly, and they're often deadly serious about it. It's no secret that both Jews and Asians are generally treated as white/majority/whatever for diversity purposes, despite their respective histories or current demographics.
Well, I had to search for the actual terms, because I didn't find them in the post. They're in a comment to the post. So the actual post isn't even using "euphemisms".

In any case, my point is that "zionist" isn't a euphemism for "Jew" or "Jewish". It describes a specific political (at least) ideology - which has radical, extremist militants.

"Zionist" cannot be anti-semite unless one believes all Jewish persons are zionists.

I understand why radical zionists would want to pass that on as true, but it's not.

Many Jewish people oppose Zionism on political, humanitarian and religious grounds.
Rather, we can apply the same logic to "not yet draw conclusions", though I do agree with you that not being able to draw conclusions, is useless.
Simply not true, at least in my case. I haven't been back to my country-of-birth in over 30 years, and have citizenship in the country of my childrens' birth. When the time came to renew my passport, I was informed that my citizenship in my birth country was dependent on whether I had any connection there any more, and since my birth-country has policies regarding dual-citizens needing to justify their citizenship, this was under question. I needed to either go back and live there for a while, or simply give up my citizenship.

Maybe its different in your birth-country and with your citizenship, but its not true that its automatically given and never revoked in every country in the world. Its a case-by-case basis, depending on the policies of the nations involved.
I had the same experience when I started Parnate - I really thought I was cured. It was a night and day difference. I still remember just walking down the street and feeling like things are overall pretty ok and I'm gonna figure everything out over time. I remember thinking how impossible my previous state was and how it was no wonder I hadn't made any progress all that time.

I also seem to respond to stimulants only. I have tried to get provigil but that's also impossible without a sleep study and a diagnosis for narcolepsy. I have access to Ritalin but it's a bit too intense when I use it occasionally, and I'm scared of long term side effects for dopamine receptors.

I'm currently taking Wellbutrin, which works (I know because I tried to stop a few months ago and I went from depressed to suicidal), but it's clearly not enough. I could take Selegiline intermittently on top of that, but it's a dangerous game to combine these. I also take a ton of supplements which seem to do something, but the problem is a lack of consistency.
I think the consistency is probably the big theme overall - I also have positive effects from caffeine if I go over my standard daily dose, but I don't see anything that requires dosage escalation as a long term solution.

Are you taking Selegiline at standard doses? I've thought about trying it again with a higher dosage into a range where it stops being selective.

>For example, many people believe that work helps give people a sense of purpose, and a mere basic income might enable people to make poor life decisions

Working as a teacher and having a second job to subsidise the first is considered purposeful.
Working as a teacher and receiving the rest of the income as UBI is suddenly no longer purposeful?

The pro UBI argument is:

UBI removes the incentive for people to work at jobs they hate. It gives them negotiation power.
If people are looking for purpose in their work then arguably not being restricted by financial considerations is allowing them to find purpose and be more happy. People get to decide what purpose means to them. I believe this is what women are doing in exchange for lower pay.

The anti UBI argument is:

Someone must force their own definition of purpose on them and if they weren't forced to work bad jobs they wouldn't have any purpose at all. They need someone that "thinks" for them because they are unable to "think" for themselves.

>Where? Hayek said basically that there was more freedom under Pinochet than under Allende, which is not the same thing as being a supporter of Pinochet.

Even if he had just said that, it would have been enough to make him a supporter -- considering that he said that for a fascist junta leader that overthrew a democratically elected leader, and is responsible for thousands of executions, and tons of torture and violence. There was just no redeeming quality.

But Hayek went much further:

> there is nothing stopping the free market from abusing or killing people if the incentives align that way. If we decide we are better than that as a society, regulation is needed

Well, thats true. Any "thing" stopping the free market from abusing\killing people is a form of regulation. Just like you're not allowed to auction off your own organs, or collect and auction organs of others to pay off debts.In a "free market", you would have the ability to market your body too.

I wrote in another comment that I don't think the SplitWhitespace type is an example of overengineering. And I don't.

However, thinking about this more, I think I understand what you mean and I, sort of, agree.

What I believe is going on is that Rust exposes a lot of its engineering. This can be either good or bad depending on where you're coming from. If you're working at a low level then this is usually a good thing. If you're working at a high level then this can be quite annoying.

What I think you'll find is that this is largely a point in time thing. Rust is still relatively young and there is substantial work in flight under the banner of ergonomics. Even though this is more engineering, I'm pretty confident that the net effect will be to make the language feel less engineered. It probably won't completely get there this year but I don't think it'll be long.
The better half of those points are directly and indirectly caused by insistence on manual memory management. Yes, it was a major design point of Rust, but it doesn't make it better engineered than "most other languages". It's just the corner it painted itself to.

A heavily-promoted brand name puts skin in the game. Sell crap one time, and it will become something to avoid, and then it will probably be game over.
In my (limited) experience with Lambda, there's nothing inherently complex about it. Yes, there's a learning curve, as with anything, but that's a one-off cost. Once you know how, you write the function in a very similar environment you would in any non-serverless setup, and you call it like you would any API endpoint, serverless or not.

Once you have made this investment, you get scale (almost) for free (at least as concerns development/sys admin time). No need to worry about your $5 DO conking out in the middle of the night because you got Slashdotted or whatever the kids call it these days.
Or better yet, forward the errors to https://sentry.io/ and let them deal with error grouping.

Rails is a great framework that prevents you from dealing with a lot of boilerplate when it comes to web applications and to focus only on the business logic. There are some great platforms out there (Heroku, for example) that deal with most of the stuff you mentioned (logs, tracing, autoscaling, etc.), and no one prevents you from using a third party service for auth in Rails as well (Auth0, for example). FaaS is awesome, but you've got to code a lot of stuff that Rails gives you for free. Besides, pushing some logic down to infrastructure locks you in the provider you chose. I'm not saying that's bad, because as I've mentioned before I run some apps fully Serverless in AWS, but there's some stuff you've got to take into consideration.
Common misconception with C++ move semantics
We're hoping to open source our streaming S3 uploader. Behind the scenes, it uses the `crossbeam` crate (for scoped threads) and BurntSushi's `chan` crate (for bounded, blocking mpmc queues, which is how we get backpressure from a worker pool). One of the cool things about Rust is that it's possible for third-party crates to implement threading primitives.

`rayon` is awesome, and it uses `crossbeam_dequeue` internally. But `rayon` is really best-suited to computational parallelism on many small pieces of data, and less suited to I/O parallelism. So it may be worth using `crossbeam` directly in that case.

All the threads in our S3 uploader run on a single machine, because multi-part uploads are mostly limited by how much memory we want to use for buffering S3 object parts, not by CPU.

(Of course, I'll probably overhaul a lot of this code later this year once `#[async]` and `futures` stabilize, so I can also stop paying for the memory used by thread stacks.)

But the cool part is that we can already do streaming input, compression, chunking and parallel uploads without ever creating a temp file. (And we can upload multiple data streams using the same worker pool.) This took about three days to build.
So did I, but Eastern Europe is a wide term. Living conditions in Yugoslavia were actually quite nice until the 80s. But I'm not saying it was a good system (it wasn't, I'm not fond of communism at all), just that majority of people were content with it for a long time. It's a statistical fact, and not just in Yugoslavia, but you can hear from many people even in Russia or Romania that they used to feel happier and safer than they do now, while their conditions in absolute terms were really bad even from my Yugoslavian perspective. People value safety the most, and than next it seems that they value their social position in the group. If they get the both, they can feel accomplished and that's the primary factor for us to feel good about our lives.
long term anything changes the brain, this is how neural connections work.... if you're long term depressed it solidifies connections, if you're long term 'happy' it reconnects others and solidifies those. as other person said, meditation can help a lot in this, and/or self-reflection.

What are some startups with really unique business models?
Abstract: Hardware-based mechanisms for software isolation are becoming increasingly popular, but implementing these mechanisms correctly has proved difficult, undermining the root of security. This work introduces an effective way to formally verify important properties of such hardware security mechanisms. In our approach, hardware is developed using a lightweight security-typed hardware description language (HDL) that performs static information flow analysis. We show the practicality of our approach by implementing and verifying a simplified but realistic multi-core prototype of the ARM TrustZone architecture. To make the security-typed HDL expressive enough to verify a realistic processor, we develop new type system features. Our experiments suggest that information flow analysis is efficient, and programmer effort is modest. We also show that information flow constraints are an effective way to detect hardware vulnerabilities, including several found in commercial processors.

The zionist bit I don't quite follow either.

But it seems clear that modern art has turned into a speculative multi-million dollar business, so "Rothschild" doesn't seem out of place, with them being the most know financial capitalist family.

And since the artists themselves tend to lean on the left and extreme-left of the political spectrum, "communist" doesn't seem an inept term either.

>- Slavery was the norm before western countries got involved with it as well.

Not in the scale of enslaving 2/3rd of the world. In fact many nations had put an end to the practice way before colonialism.

And of course those countries didn't pride themselves on their christian or englitenment values, or beings democratic, and having some "white man's burden" of civilizing the world.

>- Democracy didn't exist when the west was also active in the slavery market.

You don't need democracy to abolish slavery.
> 10,000 people were killed in Tiananmen Square in 1989, and many of them were deliberately squished into mush by tanks

Be aware that that is the highest end of a very contested range of estimates. While I by no means believe the governmental estimate of "0-300", 10,000 is so huge I personally find it hard to believe.

As always the truth is probably somewhere in between. I personally believe the number was probably between 500 and 1,000 dead. It was a brutal repression of a student protest, not an extermination.

"The latter suit was filed by plaintiff James Damore, an engineer who was fired from the company last year for distributing a memo that suggested men were better suited to certain tech jobs than women. "

Excuse me. Hold on. Aaaaararrrrrarrrrgh!!!11!!! Sorry. Had to get that out of my system.

It is frustrating to read the same misapprehension over and over and over.

Once again: James Damore's memo suggested no such thing.

He said that men and women tend to have different interests; and that engineering jobs at Google, as they are implemented, tend to favor engineers whose personality attributes are those that are typically held by men. He then went on to explain how Google might change the jobs so that it would be more appealing to those whose personality traits typically align with women. There is nothing about how men are more suited.

Something is seriously wrong with society when journalists at WSJ (et. al., et. al., et. al.) do not have enough reading comprehension skills to read, and understand, Damore's memo.
You are implying that their attempts at defense and self-preservation against violent tyranny and genocide is a conscious collective choice of the people for more conflict rather than a reaction to their inhumane circumstances under such conditions. Everyone is capable of resisting arrest if you bend their arm back at a certain angle.

Kurds have been continuously in that existential conflict long before the gulf wars. Their identity has been systemically under attack by brutal military dictatorships and nationalism for over a century now. Self-determination, survival and freedom from tyranny has always been their motivation. One does not have the option to choose when homicide knocks on one's front door.

Kurds, most people of the Middle East and humanity in general want peaceful coexistence, progress, freedom and live productive lives. However, inorganic oscillations due to oppressive force and might wreak havoc in reaching any sustainable equilibrium.
I guess that can happen sometimes in actual spaces too. The shortest path from a point near the north pole to the south pole can change dramatically if you slightly alter its endpoints.
Given a high-dimensional space it could be that most possible paths behave in this weird way.

> try to understand one another
> ...
> arrogance, assumptions, and short-sighted thinking

What happened to trying to understand one another? Or should others only try to understand you, without you trying to understand them? The premise behind affirmative action is that it is needed in the present to correct for other forms of systemic bias that we haven't been able to eliminate yet. Practically all of the people who believe this, whether they do so rightly or wrongly, have color blindness as an eventual goal, just that pretending we're already there will never get us there. If you disagree with the premise, engage with it. Accusing others of arrogance etc. because you haven't tried to understand their POV - it's so well explained so many places that if you had tried you would have succeeded - isn't constructive.
