Thanks for your feedback, in this post I made the assumption that the price of the cryptocurrency doesn't fluctuate automatically based on transaction volume, also I assume that AWS Aurora Serverless takes care of scaling problems such as max conns, etc. Therefore it can be achieve with such simple design. May I ask which part do you think I should dive deeper (overly simplify)? I will definitely improve it. Thank you for your time!

Quick guide to Americans writing for a European public (or who want to make business with Europe, especially Germany).

Writing something like this:

>“I’ve interviewed more than 70 of the world’s most interesting people on my North Star Podcast, built a weekly email newsletter with almost 10,000 subscribers, and my most popular articles, such as What the Hell is Going On?, have been read more than 100,000 times. I’ve done all this in just a couple of years.“

will attract contempt and make you look like a moron. Boasting your achievements in such a straightforward way might be ok for a US public, but in Europe everyone just thinks “so what” and then “what the hell is this person trying to sell me”?
You're brainwashed. Which is probably why you decided to not make an argument.
Advertising the longest generally-accepted prefix is more of a BGP hijack defense than a DDoS defense. Longest prefix always wins in IP forwarding, so advertising the longest prefix enforces that the best path to you is (usually) selected by local preference or AS path length.

I don’t really have any complaints about how they implemented it here in Ontario. It’s far better than what the previous government had planned.

Granted, I don’t smoke that often - but I’ve been to one of the stores and ordered from OCS online and have nothing negative to say. Maybe I just had low expectations?
I don't smoke anymore so I mostly rely on second-hand accounts. I'm of the same mind though, anything the government does has bumps, it's still progress.
Opt-in telemetry likely won't serve it's purpose.

Very few users change the defaults. To the point where you don't get enough data for useful insights.
Well its true that you have some negotiating power and much more than low wage workers usually however there is still a power imbalance.

For my contract work I have on multiple occasions pushed back on non-competes and overly broad IP. My success has been mixed. On one occasion there was a non-compete and it was a high profile contract that I didn't want to lose so I felt like I had to go along with it.

The last time a non-compete came up I tried hard to argue against it but the guy wouldn't budge. He seemed to think he needed it to keep me working for him. I guess part of the problem there is that I just don't want to drop this startup that I have put so much time into.

On multiple occasions I have found that I had to insist on overly broad IP assignment clauses being removed from contracts. I have been successful in those cases. Basically what they try to say, depending on how you interpret it, is that all work you do even in your spare time, is owned by them. I have been able to change that to clarify that they own only work that is directly related to the project and non-core stuff can be open source and unrelated projects are my own.

Seriously? Well then you just don't understand machine learning, robotics and the tyranny of the rocket equation. If you did, it would be easy to see that landing an orbital rocket is much harder than autonomous driving. The only problem is that nobody will pay 300M to get one fully self driving car after 13 years of research. And selfdriving needs tons of data which first need to be collected, which is what Tesla is doing at the highest rate than anyone in the industry by far.

Edit: one way to realize this is true is if you consider that the rocket already IS fully self driving. Everything after 1 minute mark before the liftoff is fully controlled by onboard computers, people are only there to push the big red autodestruct button if anything goes wrong.

Anyway, my point was something else. That something might seem impossible, and then after just 5 years it can be considered mundane. And I think that's what we will see with self driving too. Unless oil industry manages to manipulate public opinion in a way that stops Tesla before that.

This too, I’ve also worked with people like this, it is extremely frustrating to teach someone who wants to be mentored not take your mentorship advice and continue to make the same mistakes.

The counter argument here can be that I possibly may not have mentored the person in the right way using the right motivation, but methods I tried were (ranked in succession):

1.) Showing by example but asking to come up with own examples
2.) Templating examples
3.) Listing out steps
4.) Finally just directly asking to do x, y, and z

Utilizing data patience time boxing.

This is definitely a difficult problem I don’t particularly have an efficient solution to, my best answer is just find someone to mentor who will execute

I see it used in DDoS defense by "hijacking" the traffic of the /32. The standard unprotected provider gets hit and the mitigation provider announces a more specific /48 then tunnels the traffic back out of band

I left a link to the video, not a link to the lyrics. Of course the song is about a breakup -- a very famous break-up.

The lead singer Gwen Stefani is the only female member of the band. She initiated a relationship with Tony Kanal, another member of the band:

During a party where No Doubt performed in mid-1987, Stefani tried to kiss Kanal when the two went for a walk. Kanal initially rejected her, later commenting, "It was pretty much an unspoken rule that nobody dates Gwen...almost like a bunch of brothers and our sister." He gave in, and the two began dating secretly. The band was suspicious of them, warning Kanal against dating her, but he denied the relationship.

While the band was working on its third album Tragic Kingdom, Kanal broke up with Stefani. She later explained that he was feeling "claustrophobic" in the relationship since he did not have any previous experience being in one. She stated that the break-up "took ages" because the two were close friends and Kanal did not want to hurt her. After the break-up, he offered to leave the band, but Stefani replied that she wanted him to stay. Many of the songs on that album were written by Stefani about the breakup, most notably "Don't Speak". Many years later, Stefani co-wrote her song "Cool" about their relationship as friends for her 2004 debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Kanal

But if you watch the video closely, it shows the male band members being shoved aside while photographers make Gwen the focus of a photo shoot. Then it shows the guys whispering to each other and, at some point, the guys all hold up a hand as if voting in agreement. Gwen's body language clearly signals frustration, disagreement and defeat, like "Aw, come on!"

Gwen got a lot of media attention as a female lead vocalist of an otherwise all male pop band. A lot of interviews (articles, other coverage) ended up focusing on her and ignoring the male band members.

She became a star in her own right and household name, but a lot fewer people know the names of the other band members. In fact, I always have to look up Tony Kanal's name. I can never remember it.

But for example Greece, that "cheat" they did to get in eurozone couple years earlier, wasn't a cheat back then and EU was totally informed, also the debt that swapped was insignificant compared with the amount of debt created due to systemic problems of eurozone and EU.

I love how one of the proposed solutions to the problem is "introducing jaguars".

These systems usually have blink detection, so you would at least have to scan the photo, convert to video, and blank out the eyes temporarily (blink detection tends to be quite crude).

Other systems require you to record a video of you saying a particular sentence which is then checked (presumably) by a human. And others require a video call to a real person.
For some strange reason, Dr Christiaan Barnard keeps popping up in my life. There is a distant family connection and I found him associated in the past in one way or another with a number of places and organisations that I have been involved with. I live two blocks away from Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town and look up the hill at the imposing and beautiful building every time I leave the house. Sadly I have not been to the museum itself (isn't that typical for locals), but know about it and will make a point of it to visit next week. The other thing is that I grew up in Ceres (a small rural village surrounded my mostly fruit farms) and I had no idea that he was a GP there, admittadly a long time before I was born or my family moved there, but that is normally something that a town will boast about. You learn something everyday!

I smoked exceedingly rarely before legalization (3 times in my entire life) and now I smoke often. I'm happy to pay the paltry prices for the amount of enjoyment I get from it, and I know that the weed I get is safe for me to consume. It also arrives in a day or two after ordering. Most times I'm surprised it came so quick!

There is currently a bug open in Riot to allow users to save their keys if there was a forced logout by the server (right now, if you try to log out and don't have key backups set up Riot will warn you and ask you to set up key backups).

But, your comparison with other messaging apps aren't really a fair comparison (other than "they are messaging apps"). The reason why they don't have these issues is because they don't provide features that Matrix does -- and those features make it harder for Matrix to implement something as simply others they might. For example, Signal stores all your messages locally and doesn't provide a way for new devices to get your history -- Matrix doesn't store messages locally long-term and all your devices have access to your history. In addition, there is no "log out" with Signal unless you unlink your device.

The reason why Matrix doesn't have e2e by default yet is because they want to ensure issues like this don't happen to every user.
That does help, thank you. The "hi" insight is great. I will endeavour to understand more things myself.
Thanks.
> They (and remember, these people are supposedly developers) either ignored it, or just didn't read the docs.

Or they forgot and their stance on it changed. I vaguely remembered (or thought I did) having seen it. Just checked my settings and it's disabled. I've gotten way more privacy minded in the last 24 months, so I figured I might have said "yeah, you can collect data" back when I first installed it, but now I'd prefer they didn't.

A middle way would be to periodically remind people, "hey, you've consented to sending anonymous usage data to us so we can make better decisions. I just wanted to confirm that you're still cool with this" once a year or something, because at least for me, "does this app collect telemetry data?" is not something I constantly have in my working memory.

Legal pot is not going good anywhere around the world except very few places like Colorado. This is because politicians insist on not paying attention to scientific studies and keep doing irrational things. Look at Massachusetts, one of the first states to legalize cannabis, still handful of legal shops, only 1 in Boston area. What changed is now a few mega corps (US) or the government (Canada) are your drug dealers, instead of sketchy randos. It's impossible to find a thriving free cannabis market. This is absolutely ridiculous. >70% of Americans support legalization and multiple states voted for legalization but it's still impossible to thrive as a mom&pop cannabis shop. When alcohol and coffee are so normalized that people can consume these drugs even in workplaces, it's simply ridiculous how we treat weed, quite possibly a safer drug. I'm not even talking about illegal states, because that's an entirely different story. But what's going on in legal states like MA et al is bizarre.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (Basically the introduction to Stoicism philosophy)
This is true of pretty much any tech that is anti-censorship in some way or another (anonymizing and/or decentralized).

But it's hardly surprising:

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."

In this case, it means that you'll see people who are predominantly censored from other places already use this tech to avoid further censorship. In US right now, at least, that tends to be alt-right, white nationalists etc. For a more detailed take:

Public perception may start to change now that retail has opened up (of the 'pro' people at least) but I have heard a lot of complaints. Even OCS has acknowledged massive supply issues following the rollout (https://www.marketwatch.com/story/canada-is-running-out-of-l...).

Where those who oppose or are on the fence form a majority (or at least a vocal one) municipalities have banned stores for now. I expect once the province smartens up and gives municipalities the ability to control proximity to schools, parks, churches and other places the law expects children to congregate (or gives up some of that sweet tax money) the people who are on the fence will lighten up.

The Chinese community in the GTA is a great advocate, and cause, of municipalities banning stores. They form a large and vocal bloc and for whatever reason seem to view cannabis as a hard drug and oppose any form of decriminalisation or legalisation.
One of the things I've been struggling with is that once I've mastered a topic enough to feel comfortable writing about it, everything I write sounds obvious to me, and from there there is an easy leap to "it's probably obvious to everyone", and I start questioning whether I should write at all. Anyone has dealt with this? Tips would be appreciated.
On the top of that when you ask them about it the answer usually is:

- but this is decentralized

- it is not a bug|lack of implementation but a feature

> Right now there's only the centralized matrix.org server

That's just blatantly false. Approximately 50% of Matrix users are on other homeservers.

> It's not so much a technical question as it is the attitude of "hey we're implementing our own chat protocol cause XML sucks".

This is just a strawman. Every single talk by Arathorn explains, in great detail, why Matrix is not just "XMPP but JSON". Maybe you disagree with their reasons, but then you should argue against their reasons not some other reasons that you came up with.

> That said, if the matrix protocol can actually manage to attract users and multiple implementations some years down the road

Given the recent hack it looks like Matrix has about ~10 million users federating with each other (if 50% of them are on Matrix.org and Matrix.org has 5 million users) -- and this doesn't count bridged users which aren't using Matrix but are benefiting from the ecosystem.

And there are also several implementations. Riot is the most popular and polished one, but there's a whole bunch of others[1].

Consequently, the rivers began to erode the soil and prevent many other animals from making the area their home. https://earthjustice.org/blog/2015-july/how-wolves-saved-the...

> I smoked exceedingly rarely before legalization (3 times in my entire life) and now I smoke often.

You are the boogeyman to the people who oppose legalisation. One of the rare people who didn't smoke simply to obey the law and are now getting stoned because it's legal. :P

I think the people who rarely smoked are the most happy, because they are not worried about a minor price increase but also appreciate the convenience and legal acceptance.

I am personally happy with legalisation and, as someone who no longer smokes but realises the relative lack of harm from consuming cannabis (especially as compared to alcohol), think it is the morally right thing to do.

Despite my own beliefs, public opposition to the rollout is still significant and definitely worth mentioning especially in a Reuters article that will be propagated everywhere.
