So then, dumb question. Can I delete the file, keep the "seal", and keep winning 1% of the blocks?

If yes, then that seems bad for the system.

If not (hopefully), I'd like to also understand what's the ongoing compute cost of using the seal plus file together.

I understood from the article that sealing is something you do if you are publishing a mirror of a file. Is that right?

Feel free to get bored of this conversation and link me to a paper or something. :) I'm grateful for the reply you gave above already.
"The father of modern mineral smelting, Georgius Agricola, saw this potential 500 years ago. He smelted plants in his free time. If you knew what to look for in a leaf, he wrote in the 16th century, you could deduce which metals lay in the ground below."

I don't think the word itself is what's offensive; rather it's connecting it to a particular thing which some people cherish. If I'm a fan of ska music and active in that scene, I'm obviously going to take umbrage with "ska is dead", even if it's vastly less popular than its apex. And "dead" is clearly an exaggerated euphemism in the vast majority of cases: even "Latin is a dead language" isn't strictly true.

"Dead" may not be intrinsically offensive, but in practice "X is dead" is at least triggering (by the casual/mild definition of the term). :)
That's why I said need, vanishingly few people need a motorcycle too but at least they're more fuel efficient then cars and take up less space.
As it is structured today, yes it is. The majority of people study Psychology, Sociology, Economics or something of that nature then go on to make power point slides or enter numbers in Excel all day for the rest of their lives.

Enabling this sort of broken system is exactly what UBI as currently imagined will do.

The problem with progressive crusades like UBI is that they completely ignore reality... UBI will only increase the cost of education while simultaneously decreasing its value as a signaling mechanism, which is where the majority of modern education's value lies in the first place.

Let me repeat from my original comment: UBI on a societal scale will only cause inflation without an increase in real income. It's a true waste of money and nonsensical in practice.

That's why it's so horrifying to see people who should know better continue to try to meme it into existence and simply reminds all sober observers how divorced modern "progressivism" is from reality.
I love that article! The image of him holding the huge drill press to drill a little hole in the plank so perfectly describes the situation.

The parent poster said "Many people choose to live like this." which is very different to claiming "that homeless people want to be homeless".

I'm friends with a homeless Australian Aboriginal lady and she chooses to remain homeless/jobless despite offers of help as it provides her with a level of control over her life (she had a violent past), but not for a second would I say all people in similar situations want the same thing.

The part that's hard to grasp by well-intentioned people is that you can't always help. Two truths, neither cancel out the other: [1] We need to invest in permanent shelters (i.e. homes) for the poor/homeless who want to pull themselves out from their misfortune and live a more normal life. [2] Homelessness is something we need to embrace by providing covered/sheltered well-lit public spaces where someone can set up a 0-day camp to safely rest without someone tapping them on the shoulder to ask if they're OK.

Two more truths: [1] Many homeless have mental health issues which, if treated, could help them live a better life. [2] Many homeless are mentally fine, in control, and your offers of help are somewhat patronising. They'd prefer a nice cold beer or bottle of red than your free pass to a hostel.

> From what I can gather off frenchproperty.com the 'social charges' tax rate employees pay is very very big (29% employee, 50% employer, total would be something like 65%) while self employed pay 12% to 23%.

Exactly how much someone will pay in social charges is complex, because it depends on their line of work, how their business is set up if self-employed and how much they’re making.

But here’s one example:

A typical white collar salaried employee, for example a computer consultant, who’s netting 50000 euros will be costing his employer 100000 euros after social charges are taken into account. This worker will be paying into two different pension plans and is also paying for unemployment insurance.

A typical white collar self-employed contract worker who’s billing 100000 euros will have perhaps 5000 euros or so of business expenses and perhaps 30000 to 35000 euros of social charges. It varies mostly on how good their pension plan. So they’re netting 60000 to 65000 euros.

The difference between these two cases is mostly that the salaried worker (currently) has a better pension plan and also has much better unemployment insurance coverage (but which is also expensive).

If you’re not worried about finding work, being self-employed is a bit more profitable in this case, but not hugely so.

The 12% and 23% numbers that you saw is for a what’s called a “microentreprise”. In that case, the social charges are based on total income, not profits (so no deductions).

12% is for when you’re selling goods, not services, and you don’t get to deduct the cost of the goods.

23% is for when you’re selling a service, which is great, but you can’t bill more than 70000 euros (not counting sales tax) in a year and and still be a “microentreprise”.

The idea of the “microentreprise” was to allow very small businesses to get started, with lower social charges and much simple accounting procedures. It’s great for part-time or side projects or low paid work, but it’s not suitable for full-time well paid work.
There's no reason to think most of the SaaS tools being bought are complementary to the products and services they are being used to produce.

This makes total sense to me. If you can solve the hardest problems, it is reasonable to expect that you can solve the rest as well. If you fail at solving the hardest problems, the system will not work anyway.

The science, then, lies in identifying the hardest problems. The art lies in identifying people who can solve these problems.

I understand why the suits love a subscription based model because it meas steady revenue, and there's the good chance that you're subscription will be forgotten about, which means the easiest rent to collect, but as a software consumer, it's really hard for me to believe that the switch to subscriptions just means you stopped figuring out reasons for someone to upgrade, so now you have to take rents.
Fascinating! I recently switched to an iPhone from 8 years of Android and the iPhone hardware is amazing but I kind of hate iOS. I have reasons:

Siri can’t do basic tasks like turn on flashlight or wifi hotpot.

Voice recognition quality is much less accurate than Google's.

App store has poor search and filtering options.

App store fails to install apps and does not show errors.

Swipe typing is inaccurate compared to android. Gboard exists for iOS but it is clunky: it pops you out of your current app frequently and sometimes the default iOS keyboard reverts, despite Gboard being set to default.

No live wallpapers — boo! They’re fun. (iOS has them but they are video files, not apps.)

No equivalent to Smart Lock on android where the device stays unlocked when you're at home or when it detects you are carrying your device. Face ID, therefore, needs to be used super frequently as a result, which doesn't work well at funny angles or with the device in horizontal mode.

Possible bug: Battery won’t charge past 80% even when Optimized Battery Charging is disabled. My device has literally never reached 100% despite trying.

Safari is the unchangeable device default and I find it awkward to use with many tabs.

I'm just one user, but I was shocked to learn how good I actually had it on Android (Pixel 3 series.)
I thought the grass was greener on the iOS side but it wasn't a clear winner.

I am totally on the fence as to whether to keep it. I love the privacy focus that iOS has but dislike the restrictiveness and features that make the device slower to use. (The smart lock is a huge deal to me...)
In a way I find these calls to their portfolio a bit strange, after all it's because VC is enabling these companies to run beyond their fundamentals that they could be in problems during downturns.

Businesses running on tight budgets and well within their revenue are inherently more resistant to shock. In this case the shock is economy-wide but you could have shocks that affect only the tiny segment of the industry that you are in. e.g. new regulation, PR disasters, supply chain disruptions, ...

They're also more efficient from a return on equity perspective. It's just a better way to build a business with the only exception being that you might have to raise a lot to compete or to fundamentally deliver your value proposition.

You’re just talking about a single earner household _as it exists today_. It sounds like a snarky reply, tbh.

But it’s worth addressing regardless: this scheme simply reinforces inequality — only people fortunate enough to live off one income can afford to have one of the primary care givers stay at home full time. It implicitly begs the question of the value added by full-time parenting: in your scenario the “bread winner” is still the only one valued by society as a whole, and the caregiver is dependent on their spouse/partner’s earned income.
Please don't be obtuse, I think we all know fine what this means.
I'm confused, are you claiming it's OK that my x86 Intel platform (and whatever data passes through it) exists in a "monarchy" of sorts (along with other phone-home drones), and that I should find it acceptable?

("I" being a business, or individual, any proxy for society at large)

The fact that a tiny few human beings had the power of a "tornado" over others' lives ended fairly abruptly in some circumstances, with apparently good enough reason that it stayed that way.

Note: you're referring to absolutism, which is a mode of monarchy (also found in totalitarianism, dictatorship). By contrast, most monarchies still 'alive' today operate more in "symbolism" mode, in the constitution of their country.
Qualtrics, a company I have worked for in the past, specializes in selling huge experience management packages to global enterprises. Deal size ranges anywhere from $10k to $1mil+ (yearly). Then there's SAP which is something like $3k per user per year. These things can seriously add up.

Under Yang's plan even if you made $100k/yr (single person household) you'd get an increase[0]. You'd be having to make roughly $140k+/yr to see a decrease in total income (140k results in -$66/yr). (If you were the norm of 2 adults and 2 children your household income would need to be north of $315k/yr to "shoulder" his UBI)

So I'm not sure why you think the middle class will shoulder the bulk of the cost. Do you think $150k/yr earners ($300k/yr families) are middle class? The median household income int he US (2018) was $62k/yr[1]

VCs Brace for Fundraising Delays Amid Outbreak
I grew up working class and have seen lots of people fail. Those without the wherewithal to get on social benefits generally moved on with their lives toward success. I also have know several to get on social benefits find that acceptable and live what seemed to me unfulfilling lives on a type of pseudo adult hood. It could be they were happy and who am I to judge. I have always known if I fail I will be destitute and I think it has helped me build a decent life. But what works for me may not work for others.
> Just want to point out that inequality globally isn't necessarily rising.

My comment specifically referred to UBI in the context of the US, so I'm not sure what the relevance of global inequality is to whether or not an individual country does UBI.

If anything, the globalization that is driving global inequality down (a good thing), when coupled with domestic policies in the developed world that massively favor owners of financial capital, are driving domestic inequality up, which further bolsters the argument for UBI-like measures.

Effective strategy on the part of facebook. Namecheap can either decide to spend untold sums and fight this (and let's see the amount and how that goes) or they can turn over the info and move on. No legitimate customer of namecheap that isn't fishing is going to take this as anything important to them and importantly even if they even know it's happening.

I don't get all of this rah rah.

My question for you (the OP) is how many domains do you have with namecheap? And how many customers like you do you think make up their business?

I have an affinity towards the second one. I cannot bear ones, which start as novels... and you need to go through a few sections to understand what it is about, if it is a true or fake story, etc.

In this case, the problem is not with the balance between facts and narration (for my taste, it is fine) but with stories being shattered. I read a paragraph and need to guess if it is a new story, if it relates to the previous one, did it happen before or after, etc.

BTW: I did enjoy Memento the movie. But in this one the order was designed carefully.
I've always wondered why, with all the other emotional dispositions that people accuse pharma companies of "medicalizing" in order to sell them a drug treatment for, we've never seen any attempt to medicalize the Puritan work ethic.

Maybe it's because it'd mean that pretty much every medical doctor would themselves be technically (or not-so-technically) considered mentally-ill?

(Gosh, imagine a world where all the doctors got treatment for their floating guilt, and then suddenly woke up to their severe overwork, and so did a 180 on their previous push to the medical-bar to lower acceptance to increase wages, instead pushing to increase acceptance and lower wages in an attempt to increase the number of doctors a hospital can employ on a given budget, and therefore decrease hours worked per doctor?)

All companies I've worked at had dev environments that did not require any licensing. The tools used where mainly free or under the free tier (sublime, eclipse, CurcleCI, AWS...)

For larger products those will require to purchase certain usage since the workload will be higher but that's a company product cost and not per dev.

Both glibc and musl libc still uses brk for most allocations. You can see it when strace'ing simple programs. After the linker--which uses mmap for some allocations as it can't use malloc--has finished you'll see brk calls to satisfy application allocations.

Also you can verify in the code, e.g. https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/malloc/expand_h...

I believe OpenBSD's malloc only uses mmap and also aggressively munmap's memory--to better catch application bugs and to keep addresses randomized.
My personal feeling about this, like a lot of things in the US at the moment is that the required approach requires cutting across current paradigms.
