Ugh... I tend to prefer SQL database interaction via scripting languages, and the abstractions are a LOT more work than just knowing SQL and writing parameterized queries directly.

Also, conceptually it's a VERY good idea to understand how your database, and databases in general work. You can avoid a lot of weird behaviors and bottlenecks if you know more.

Aside/Joking/Rant: Except mySQL, I don't want to know its' weird behaviors any more than I already do, it can die in a fiery inferno and suffer in hell incarnate.
It's not developed by the same dev. Since Bitcoin is an open protocol, everyone can provide tools to query, view, automate,... the same data.
Instead of knowledgeable employees, I think it would be much cooler to have free wi-fi and QR code stickers next to most products so customers can get quick access to data sheets, project suggestions, calculators (especially applications of Ohm's law), and online forums.

Okay, I looked over our financial statement from 2018, summed a few things up that would be way too boring to provide in detail, and turned the numbers into percentages so that you don't have to do all the math in your head. Here's what I have:

2018 costs:

48% to salaries and contractors (my wife and I are the only people on payroll, and draw $60k salaries for ourselves)

12.1% to operations (health insurance, renting a desk at WeWork, minimal travel, lot of SaaS subscriptions, misc equipment and other costs)

7.5% to PayPal fees (I really need to renegotiate this)

4.9% to AWS

4.2% to payroll taxes and other business administration

23% to profit (goes to saving up to quit my job last year, finish my book, and then dedicate ourselves to this full time)

Hope that's useful! Let me know if you have any other questions about this stuff and I'll do my best to be as transparent as I can without revealing every little detail.

Update: I should also mention that the salary we draw is in now way sufficient to actually support a family of 4 in Berkeley, so since quitting my tech job last October, we've been draining our savings and preparing to find a way to turn this little business into something that could sustain us longer term. I call it our flying rickshaw (the opposite of a rocketship). Outcome still uncertain.

I'm pretty sure you could. You could mirror your live traffic to a test, but that's generally a bad idea. You have to make sure no data gets out of your test system either towards the client or towards the database. Gotta be real careful when mirroring real traffic.

Of course, using it to capture raw requests and replaying them would be a decent use case.
people need to pay attention to a detail. BitcoinSV is not Bitcoin as people know it and it is misleading. This is a super cool project but being clear should be a priority in something that has the theme of trust and decentralisation
The way to sell low-volume things like electronic parts might be to have regular scheduled deliveries of requested parts, perhaps every few hours, from warehouses to small storefronts or vending machines.

1. You order online.

2. The parts go in a delivery truck.

3. The truck drives for a few hours.

4. The parts get loaded into a vending machine.

5. You go there to get the parts.

This makes it possible to supply a small city with parts that are always available within 4 to 6 hours. You only need to drive a mile or two.
I remember standing in line at a coffee shop, after walking some dogs on a nature trail. I felt a sharp pain on my hip flexor and knew right away it was a tick bite, even though I had never had one before. I rushed into the bathroom and lo and behold, it was a tick. In a panic I asked all the women in the coffee shop if they had tweezers. They must have thought I had a screw loose. None of them did so I rushed home to pull it off. I kid you not, as I pulled it, I heard its jaws (or whatever) snap. P.S. you don’t need to burn them unless they’ve already burrowed.
It hasn't changed because the people who control the hard fork, the miners, benefit from the increased transaction fees that the low rate produces through competition to get in on the next (small) block. It's a textbook example of Tragedy of the Commons.

Edit: I had a scary experience. After rain I was hunting in the woods with bushes a metre tall, shotgut over the head to avoid accidents. Then a snake hiss ahead, tried to turn right, another snake hiss that way, same to left and... same back.

I panicked and got out of the bushes as fast as I could, I was panting. Then I noticed I was covered by hundreds of ticks. I shouted and my father came alarmed. He managed to brush all of them except one that I found at home. It took my mother about ten seconds to take it off with olive oil.

Well for starters the product is smaller and not that extendable. So it means when typically with on-prem you start developing and customizing the software to fit it into company procedures then with Saas ERP company needs to fit into ERP processes.

The UI is based on HTML and therefore users like it more and are not that hesitant to start using it and less training is needed.

There are many more but these are just some that I can think of right now.

I don't see laptops sold without root due to security implications. Why the distinction for handheld devices? That said, I do get there's a lot of malware on laptops, and a malware being able to assume root is game over. So, I kind of get your point too (not necessarily agree with it).

>> The federal government can then negotiate prices which will be far lower

I'm not convinced that the government can get a better rate - especially when you look at other sectors where government contracting has become a lucrative business like IT, military or space where the private sector does things much cheaper than what the government does.

>> Japan where prices are super low ... far more private doctors per capita than in US

I think the real reason in Japan might be that costs are low because there is more competition due to more private doctors. The cost of becoming a doctor are lower (lower education costs, lower malpractice insurances costs etc) and that incentivizes more people to become doctors and they are able to charge a lower fee as a result.

>PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It aims to support the usecases currently handled by both PulseAudio and Jack and at the same time provide same level of powerful handling of Video input and output. It also introduces a security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy, with supporting Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.

I haven't noticed an issue - the only alternative would be to block the renderer and do it in the same process. The IPC uses a local domain socket which is very high performance (better than a web socket) so any overhead is quickly made up for with UI responsiveness. There may be specialized cases where it is a problem and you'll have to figure something out.

Additional tips to make camping more fun:

Put it on swatches of cloth, and suspend those around your tent/tarp entrance. Also put it near your head where you sleep to keep all the biting insects away from your face.

The protected area under his tarp with thick with mosquitoes trying to hide from the rain (there must have been thousands), I had none under my tarp. The only difference was a couple of cloth swatches of Permethrin under my tarp.

I'd be happy if Pipewire doesn't constantly burn CPU the way Pulseaudio likes to, even when no sound is playing. It always annoys me to see Pulseaudio in top, burning 5-10% of the CPU with thousands of hours of CPU time built up.

> No government is going to let FB and any coalition do an end run around their national currency and their banking institutions. They're also not going to partner with an international consortium to have them replaced with something they only partially control.

It's also strange to me that there is no discussion about that. Money is not only a currency you can use to buy goods and services. In case of US dollar it's a powerful political pressuring instrument. Most of goods on international markets are exchanged in US dollar. That's why US can print dollars and the rest of the world is paying the inflation costs. Additionally, money issuer (in this case US) can forbid anyone to use their currency, so they can shutdown Libra when they want and how they want, if pressured enough.
I agree with you here, their tech generally lags behind the industry. It's inevitable for such a large company with so many customers relying on backwards compatibility though (the Lightning Experience switch is a counter point to that).

I had dozens of ticks as a kid. Lyme disease hadn't spread to Canada yet, so it wasn't a big deal. I never once felt them bite; they produce an anesthetic so you don't feel it. Sometimes you could feel them crawling on you, but most of the time you didn't even feel that.

And you didn't hear the jaws snap when you pulled it off, you heard the mouth parts tearing. You have to be careful pulling a tick off or the mouth parts will stay in your skin, causing irritation and inflammation.

What I'm getting at is in closed societies, power and money are different things. In open societies, money is power. Parent says government control over money incentivizes authoritarianism. I'm arguing authoritarians have no need to control money to exercise power, because they have multiple ways to do the latter. For instance, during the Cold War the Soviet ruble was not convertible to U.S. dollars or British pounds, because the Soviet government didn't exercise power through open trade/commerce/finance, but rather through organizations like COMECON (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comecon). Money's power is observable, decentralized, and fine-grained, everything an economic pact is not.

Respectfully, is there any reason to think that the US government would actually do this, based on past behavior? Government spending is famously wasteful, both parties spend like it's going out of style when it aligns with their interests, government debt continues to explode, and spending continues to grow year-over-year effectively unchecked. I may just be overly cynical here, but I don't think that responsible spending is the primary election issue for hardly anyone today.

We like to talk about healthcare like it's a free market but it's not. If I'm at the hospital I'm there for treatment. I'm not leaving until I get it, damn the cost. I will not consume less healthcare because the price is higher when the other option is death.

We need some price setting regulation to protect consumers from getting fleeced. When the hospital knows that I'm going to say yes, why not price every surgery at $100k?

We've tried letting the insurance companies regulate the price, but they've proven themselves incapable either because there are so many secrets making the market not fair or because they don't have an incentive. It is time to try something else. The government is our mechanism for regulation. Let's use it.

Making it a crime will simply ensure that the authorities are not made aware, so rather good news for the criminal hackers.

It's a bit like the idea of an economist (iirc and I forgot the name) that receiving or demanding a bribe should be a crime but that paying one should not, and that someone convicted for receiving a bribe should be also made to pay the money back.

This creates a strong incentive for the person paying a bribe to go public and report it to the police and increases the risk of demanding a bribe.
