Your reasoning sounds really seductive, which is on point for economics. The next step is actually giving solid reasoning (preferably backed by hard evidence - this means numbers) for why this is the truth and not some other equally seductive line of reasoning. Without this, you're just reading tea leaves and explaining them well.
A lot of people (especially here) would like to see more competition from non-Google platforms like Vimeo or others (currently they're so obscure, I can't even name any others), so not making too big a fuss about this and not getting it reverted might be a good thing because it forces people to go somewhere else with kids or IT security videos.

Most EULA's prohibit Reverse Engineering and companies like Oracle have entire legal teams dedicated to prohibiting reverse engineering going as far as prohibiting people from reporting security vulnerabilities discovered using "reverse engineering techniques"

Further the wide interpretation the courts have allowed under CFAA can easily be applied to reverse engineering as well, i.e "Exceeding authorized use" making reverse engineering of software a felony under US Law

In this case, the Moses Saunders dam [1] used to get a nice steady stream of draw (necessary to keep the equipment operational) from the Alcoa plant, but when it shut down that draw went away. Throwing a bitcoin mining operation into the old facility is a great way of keeping things running smoothly.

The latest miners are running on 10nm technology. So unless Switzerland can start manufacturing 4-5nm devices right away, what you said is basically impossible. Also, if the Switzerland government by any chance acquires 4-5nm technology, what will keep the miners from doing that too? You would be surprised how deep their pockets are. Well they all paying all of Switzerland's electricity bill, so that might give you an idea.

Peer pressure will counter initial regulatory hostility. Inevitably there are going to be some early adopter areas and a lot of people scrutinizing what is happening there. When some of those early adopter areas are are getting clear benefits, there's going to be a lot of pressure on neighboring areas to do imitate what their neighbors are doing. From there, it is just a matter of time. Eventually it will turn around and regulation will start making non autonomous driving harder to wield out the remaining accidents involving drunk/tired/incompetent/reckless/etc. drivers.

Insurers will be a major factor here. They should start getting some pretty good insights in accident rates involving AVs vs. normal cars.

I’ve made the same transitions from win to Linux to Mac and for the same reasons. I’m going back to Linux though.

I’ve used windows professionally all that time and Windows 10 is the least productive it’s ever been, for me anyway. It’s just such a horrible experience and I don’t know exactly why that is. I didn’t even mind CMD and powershell and it’s not that I dislike Microsoft. I recently traded my personal g-suite in for a Office365 essentials plan, and I’m rather happy with it, but I just can’t get on the right food of Windows 10. I wish I could, the Surface Books are genuinely the modern MacBook Pro, but Ubuntu is just a better experience.

Of course there is still a few quirks, the only one that’s really bothered me is the lack of a Linux One Drive client, which should frankly tell you how little Microsoft has really changed. They don’t intend to be good for Linux, they want Linux to be good for them.

> Is YouTube really going to be required to host every piece of video published to it forever?

This is a pretty blatant reductio ad absurdum. If YouTube want to clear out some of their content, they don’t have to exert editorial control to do so. Deleting every video that is more than 5 years old isn’t exerting editorial control. Deleting every video that isn’t earning $x/month arguably isn’t either. Deleting videos based on their content is.

If they decide what videos they want to host based on their content, they’re not a common carrier. They’re a publisher that is deciding what content they want to publish. Expecting them to take responsibility for that isn’t trampling their freedom.

The problem is that this situation has allowed a very small group to control most of the speech that takes place on the internet. They decide what content is published, and what content is not, and section 203 allows them to avoid all responsibility for publishing that content.

The Good Samaritan clause grants them with absolute editorial control over the content they host, and the rest of 203 ensures they don’t have to accept any responsibility for their editorial decisions. It is having your cake and eating it too, and the problems it creates are clear as day.
There's definitely an emotional component to investment (a line I often hear from property investors vs equity investors is "I can touch and feel my investment, what about you?"). The tangibility gives a much stronger sense of ownership and is also probably one of the reasons why hardware wallets are so popular in the crypto community.

That said, most people who buy gold as investments these days do so through ETFs or some other paper-based method so they never even see the gold themselves, let alone get a chance to "touch and feel" it.

There are trade-offs involved in choosing OpenBSD for a "Work"station, and the post covers some: lack of packages/no proper package manager (requires recompiling with patches from source), no Docker/VMs/VirtualBox/Wine, etc. Other are lack of drivers, etc. None of these issues are incompatible with an Operating System design (or not really), they mostly just need extra work.

However, the blog post mentions that "for them" performance isn't an issue. This should not be interpreted as performance being good. OpenBSD performance can only be described with data: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=8-linux-...

Even for something that the OpenBSD devs themselves are doing all the time, compiling stuff, OpenBSD is ~20x slower than Linux. 2x slower would be horrible. I really have no words to describe 20x slower performance. If you are a dev working with a compiled language, imagine a 20x perf hit on compile-times. Imagine having to patch LLVM/Clang on OpenBSD by recompiling it from source. "Apocalyptically horrible", "worst in class", do not even make justice for how slow OpenBSD is.
That's not really what the linked article is arguing; while we could blame Capability Brown, a lawn is just a pasture that's been tidied.

> No, check your history.

I’m quite familiar with the history.

>The southern states didn't become distinctly "red", or republican, until the 90's or 00s in most cases.

Yes, the realignment driven by Johnson's CRA position and the Republican Southern Strategy took about 3 decades to complete, with the last notable bit occurring just after the Republican takeover of the House in 1994. Partisan realignments do tend to take time.

> Can you name a single candidate that had any kind of national appeal that ran on repealing the civil rights act?

The proponents of a new Jim Crow didn't mostly run on repealing the 1964 CRA (or the 1957 or 1960 acts) in the same way that the proponents of the original Jim Crow didn't mostly run on repealing the Civil War Amendments or the CRAs of 1866, 1871, and 1875, but on subverting their intent and effect by other means.

> Stop with this myth about CRA causing the South to go Republican.

The 1960s-1990s realignment driven by the Johnson's shift on Civil Rights and the Republican response is not a myth. It's a real thing which really happened. It's why the people flying the Confederate battle flag today are almost excludively Republicans (if they are in one of the major parties), not Democrats, despite having the same ideology as the people that rallied under the same banner almost exclusively (insofar as they were in a major party) in the Democratic Party in the 1920s through the 1960s.

Just because (like other political realignments) it didn't happen overnight doesn't make it a myth.
Rom dumping and illegal distribution was already going back than. If I understand this correctly this was not obfuscated in any way and located near the end of the rom. Fan translations of Japanese NES games should also have been around by 99, so people already fiddled with those dumps. So I'm a bit baffled by the intro text claiming the dev didn't expect anyone to find this for a long time.

Eh, try to explain to people that money (as in USD) is the same thing as Bitcoin, except in centralised databases (plus a very small portion in portable pieces of paper/metal). There's a database in the FED that tracks who has how many dollars (it's coarse grained, banks subdivide it into accounts themselves). And new dollars are minted all the time when someone is issued credit, ending their life when the credit is paid back.

This is not to defend Bitcoin, but it is mind boggling how few people ask themselves "where does money come from, exactly?".
To discount the sweeping changes in the company culture because they haven't yet worked on what you want them to, don't you think that's a little short-sighted?

I wanted Microsoft to release a new terminal. It took 2 years. Now that it's out, I want it to support panes. There's only so much they can do at once.

I wanted a good consistent UI experience for Linux. It's been decades and that still hasn't happened. The groups maintaining KDE and Gnome can hardly agree among themselves much less with the userbase.

At this point, I'm more inclined to believe that Microsoft will get things done faster, than the Linux community will.

I'm not slamming Linux, either. Just being realistic after many years/attempts of being user. Better to have a stable and consistent base to work from. If you ask me, that's why so many folks who target Linux for development do it from a non-Linux platform. It makes for a much less frustrating experience.
I wish this were true everywhere.

I once worked for a medium/large European firm where innovation was frowned-upon if it came from anywhere but the main office.

It didn’t matter that this was need-driven innovation, what mattered was that innovation and approval must be top-to-bottom driven, because “obviously” the main office knew best.

Any input and obviously bad decisions meant getting rank pulled on you.

An alternative form of payment in countries with hyperinflated currencies, a means to make fast international payments (far faster than Swift), an investment (debatable) vehicle that exists outside the control of the finance sector, certainly an upward social mobility tool for many miners in developing countries, and a general store of wealth vehicle (in no way different to gold in this regard).

Hardware wallets are popular because so many exchanges were hacked and coins stolen. Keeping crypto on exchanges for a long period of time is simply stupid, there's no upside (except saving 100 USD on a wallet).
From drying clothes to getting the right nutrition, there are clearly superior and inferior ways to do get any particular result. But of course people don't have the knowledge/skills to figure it out for themselves and come to that judgement on their own. Instead, they use monetary value (price etc) associated a particular method as a proxy for superior/inferior. Once you are down this slippery slope, it is easy to jump the next few steps of this lazy-yet-practical logical staircase that leads to class hierarchy in society and what outwardly behavior brings class status in your society etc. Since these implicit logical models are taught and reinforced generationally, only generational shifts can break the cycle and that makes it hard to change the stereotypes.

> The intense desire for personal wealth that one truly owns.

Not at all. It's the desire to get rich quick without lifting a finger. Also philosophically speaking, "wealth that one truly owns" as in "wealth that is not dependent on others" is not a thing. If your wealth is in Bitcoin, you are trusting in fellow Bitcoin users and your wealth is entirely dependent on their feelings about the cryptomarket. That is hardly a better safer store for your wealth.

I had a yoga teacher course myself. One of the lessons I took home is that there is no one right or original yoga. There are many kinds and most of them have their justification for existing. Hundreds of branches of yoga that have developed over time through series of different teachers. And why shouldn't new ones come along as well? Nothing wrong about goat yoga if it's healthy and enjoyable.

But I want to stress that yoga is not body building. It's not about bring beautiful, although that tends to be a side effect of health and happiness. The aim of yoga is to make you healthy, so healthy in fact that you can just forget about your body for a few days and meditate.

Yoga is also not just about asanas. It's about eight limbs (hatha), that include asanas, but also cleansing, right eating (vegetarian, and not too much), breathing exercises and a few other things. It's about doing what's good for your body so your mind can focus on what's important - meditation, doing right, ...

But what should be avoided is any harm. This is where for example hot yoga falls short - the heat is meant to increase flexibility, but it's also the most risky kind of yoga that sees frequent injuries. There's no reason to force your body to go beyond its current limits - rather you should slowly work to develop your flexibility, rather than force it with 'tricks'.

Do as you like, but don't try to do anything that is against your body. You only have one body. Make sure its healthy but don't try to do things you are not ready for or that might be harmful. E.g. an obvious one: crow pose is amazing but can for women put quite a bit of pressure on the ovaries so for any woman still planning to have kids it's not something to practice too intensely. Yes, do it, but don't force it and don't try to get to the point of pain.

Enjoy yoga - in all its forms.
I hired a Renault Mégane about five years ago. The headlight control was a rotational control with very low friction on the end of a stalk. The same stalk also did full beam and indicating. You can guess what happened repeatedly: whilst driving on dark country roads, I'd flick the beams up or down, or indicate, and that flick would also spin the headlights, turning them off. Happened several times to me and my wife who also drove it.

I suppose maybe that car was faulty and the friction was lower than it was meant to be, but still, it was an accident waiting to happen: being plunged into darkness on a twisty country road after passing another car was not fun.

So bad UX is not a new thing for them.
