It's really funny to talk about the government making or losing money when producing money ("seigniorage"). It really shows how money is just pretend numbers and the foundries can create or destroy it at will depending on the political winds (inflation being good for debtors and deflation being good for creditors). There's a reason the monied interests are against inflation of more than 2%, and it's because it would cause the debts logged as assets in their books to be worth less. Honestly, they would prefer deflation, but they were forced to accept some inflation as the cost of a growing economy.
A whistleblower is someone with inside knowledge, often enough on it's own to convict, those non-anonymous reports didn't contain that info.
Tbh, none of those numbers look good from where I'm sitting. I pay €45/month for 80Mb down/20Mb up fibre. Granted I'm in a city (in Portugal). My parents in rural France pay €39/month for 20Mb down / 8Mb up. None of us have data caps
If tiktok had was under the influence with Chinese government why wouldn't think do this to keep things on the up and up. Look at us guys - we put data in US. All good nothing to see here. (as china still can request whatever it wants). I dont see the point in this.

Probably true.

It does. Poorly but it's gotten a lot better.

Isn't that just the generalisation of 'it is only business' which the majority of society already accepts as a valid excuse for some pretty unethical behaviour.
I didn't say anything negative about Grant. I said Grant was great and the show in general was great.

If anyone decides not to be a scientist or an engineer because of me saying that Myth Busters was a great show that was not always scientifically rigorous, they weren't really that interested in the first place.

Its OK to learn from and be inspired by things that don't 100% follow the scientific method. Saying something isn't scientifically rigorous in the context of talking about a TV show focused on entertainment doesn't detract from the show's value.

I stand by my statement that it was a show about cool hacks more than strictly adhering to scientific rigor. Cool hacks are cool and I am often inspired by them, I'm not sure how you arrived at such a negative interpretation of my comment.

Go ahead and read it slowly a few times. It's clear to me.
I don't see this mentioned elsewhere, so I'll mention it here.

Liquid N2 is benign and hard to harm yourself with, apart from frostbite. But it is colder than the boiling point of oxygen, and if you leave open containers of it around, or chill empty glassware, you can condense O2 out of the air.

One dangerous scenario is where you chill an empty flask that has organic residue in it, and liquid oxygen condenses onto that. It can go boom.

It's not easy to hurt yourself this way, but something to think about (while running at top speed in the opposite direction) if you see pale blue liquid in an N2-cooled apparatus.

On the bright side, you can make fantastic ice cream by pouring liquid N2 into a bowl of heavy cream with walnuts and sugar added. The crystals are super tiny so the ice cream has a fantastic texture.
‘ Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.

Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.

“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.

“We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,” Cullors added in the interview with Jared Ball of The Real News Network.’[0]

FPTP tends to lead to the same heavily divided two major party politics you already have, it just avoids the possibility of winning with <50% of the popular vote.

My personal impression is ADHD or at least something involving a deficiency in executive function after reading this article.

https://gekk.info/articles/adhd.html

It really opened my eyes to what AD(H)D is really like from someone actually suffering from it and speaking his mind without mincing words, and how hyperactivity is sometimes overemphasized in the diagnosis. So some people get the impression that if you're not hyper it doesn't apply.

And for me specifically this was so ironic because ADHD was the one disorder that my parents insisted I never had, so I just ended up believing them the entire time I was with them.

But at least now I can think for myself and revisit the possibility for once without being shut down.

And they had once been wrong about me not having this other disorder that, surprise, I actually did have, which is the only reason I was hired into a position specifically seeking those with a diagnosis of said disorder, allowing me to pay my own rent.

And it certainly has something to do with anxiety.

I might have had panic attacks at one point when the pain was new and I wasn't sure if I was in immediate danger. Even after I sort of got used to it and it became "normal," it still stresses me out but not in an "am I going to die in 5 minutes" sense, spurred on by late-night WebMD binging.

To a certain extent they can increase total bandwidth by launching more satellites, although it's unlikely to ever make sense for urban areas where you could roll out fixed infrastructure much more cheaply. With satellite constellations, you can't just add satellites only where they're needed.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. But Flatcar Container Linux is completely open source. In fact, everything we do at Kinvolk is. We do not build open-core products.

For example, we've gone a step further than CoreOS did and have a fully open-sourced update server, Nebraska (https://github.com/kinvolk/nebraska). We also generate a list of contents and licenses for each build. Here is an example from the most recent stable: https://stable.release.flatcar-linux.net/amd64-usr/2512.2.1/...
I've been very happy with my Chevy Volt.

The 50+- electric range is plenty for my commute or running a few errands; it's weird to think that when you have hundreds of miles of range, you're mostly lugging around 3+x the amount of batteries you need on average, "just in case", like that XKCD comic. Instead, I lug around a generator and 8 gallons of unleaded, "just in case".

It's very hard, that's what I was trying to say.

In your 10 people example, it seems that there are a few problems to me:
- finding like minded peers
- getting critical mass (are 10 enough to maintain the fork?)
- getting them all to agree on what subset of features to keep

If I were in the market for a fork, I would search Github first before forking my own, so I think the first item is basically solved. The second varies on a case by case basis, of course. The third seems more critical to me, probably dispersing the effort more than anything else.
I'm an infrastructure type and everything you said rings true for me.

Kubernetes and abstractions of its ilk (shipping containers for example) have a place, but every abstraction comes with some form of trade-offs, be that performance or transparency.

Dealing with a node brown-out in kubernetes is much worse than dealing with a network, host or service outage because the troubleshooting steps involved evolve fractally.

That said, obviously there is value- but it's good to critically assess the value instead of just jumping in.
Was wondering that myself, but didn't see any benefit to telling anyone even if it were legal.

Based on your link, it seems like publishing their ID would be illegal. But if a reporter called them up and interviewed them without publishing identity, no law would be broken. Not legal advice.

Hm, I definitely remember a lot of anti-Brexit pieces, and I don't remember the balance overall so I'll take your word for it. Perhaps that's a sore point for the FT, which is fundamentally not 'right' or 'left' but more classical liberal / free-trade oriented. Investors care about these things, at least many do. The NYT, though, if you do a little experiment and go to the website right now, look at the headlines displayed. The headlines alone are editorialized, but there are interpretations being done for you if you delve into the articles themselves, versus rational arguments being put forth. A paper I read daily and which I sometimes post here, Bloomberg, started doing this in a section called "CityLab". And today was an Opinions piece saying that Cancel Culture is a joke, doesn't exist and is proof of privilege that it was even mentioned.

The FT I've seen opinion pieces on completely opposite views side by side or issue to issue. Sometimes something would respond days later to something posted before, in a rebuttal. True both in the editorials and in the Letters section. Dear Sirs...

I have seen quite a number of hardware/embedded streams, but not a lot lately. Many of the streamers (both hardware and programming) are often new or mid level devs, there's a few super experienced programmers.

He streams off and on.
Pretty sure no work visa in the world grants the right of citizenship or permanent residence. I imagine for a lot of freelancers though demonstrating a sustained 3500 EUR/month income for at least 6 months prior to the application might be difficult.

Overall this is very encouraging though, and I hope more countries start to realize the net gain in attracting such people who will contribute to the economy by paying taxes and potentially starting their own companies down the line.
I totally agree. Having weekly demos where we showcase unfinished features has been, in my experience, one of the main avenues where we have learned of issues / conflicts / problems with those features at exactly the right time where we could still fix them.

Not having demos of incomplete features would just hide the issues until they are released to the final customers, creating a problem you didn't have before, and making it much more complex to solve.
Jesus that's horrible.

We live in a somewhat rural area in Mexico (big city is 45 mins away) and we have uncapped 200Mb down / 50Mb up fiber for less than $50 per month.
> To do that, you'd really need the entire 2.11BSD distribution in source control. So the real problem would be that you'd need to start with...patch...level...zero. :whoa:

I might be misunderstanding, but I don't think this is true. As long as there's a complete snapshot to start from anywhere in the revision history, it's possible to apply each patch in reverse (as far back as possible), even if it doesn't get all the way to patch level 0. Then later, if earlier patches are found, these can be applied in reverse and the branch rebased.

They're not collecting medical information. They don't need it. There's zero chance that Doom Eternal wants to collect your medical information to sell to anyone. They just put this here likely because, like prop 65 warnings, to not put this here could put them in unnecessary legal trouble in the case of unforeseen situation where somehow someone's medical data got into their service somehow.

The statement is essentially meaningless. Which is bad, because if there is a bad actor out there collecting your medical information, they've got the cover of this law to disclose it to you and not look bad because everyone else is disclosing it just to cover their asses.

It just seems like a badly written law when a video game feels like it has to add this stupid disclaimer.

No one was talking about technically possible. We're not discussing space elevators.

The key point is combining economic feasibility with the prevailing cultural will.

Of course electric cars exist. GM made a bunch of them in the 90s and literally forcibly recalled them and crushed them into tiny cubes in front of their owners. They held a candle light vigil. The documentary about this is what inspired Musk to get involved with Tesla in the first place.
There was clearly passionate market demand that was being suffocated and purposefully ignored by bloated incumbents who couldn't see anything past their bottom line and they lost track of the market.

Americans are sick of excuses for space travel. The USA is made entirely out of a culture of optimism and all the aerospace companies have nothing to show for meaningful progress as they collect their massive government checks.

There is hype because these are the first companies since the post war utopia that are actually making things again that are fundamentally changing our transportation reality with technology.

Thanks for asking.

In the programming world typically we would use a signed value[0] instead of separate ledgers[1] for debit and credit (ie. +$12 and -$11.50 within one ledger, resulting balance +$0.50).

Whereas, in the traditional double entry world, you have two ledgers, one called 'credit' and one called 'debit', BOTH with POSITIVE balances. You don't know where you stand until you look at both and apply appropriate signs, then make a total. This obviously can function and does make sense if you are used to it, but is an artifact of ancient book-keeping practices and a perfect basis for confusion in many cases. Especially since, on different days, you might be the person on either side of the equation (ie. then credit becomes your debit and debit becomes your credit, should you - for example - acquire a competitor).

You could of course store things in any way you like and present them differently, but there's no need to TALK and THINK about them jumping through such pointless logical hoops. (Many philosophers, writers, linguists, mathematicians and programmers have explained the value of concise and explicit language as a boon for clarity of thinking.)

You can model transactions between entities as a directed graph[2], allocating each transaction a unique identifier. In this way, the 'credit' or 'debit' nature of each transaction is no longer the property of "where you are looking from" (subjective property), but rather objectively associated with the source and destination nodes for that transaction in the directed graph.

I believe these approaches promote fiscal literacy because: (A) Everyone with basic mathematical comprehension understands the meaning of + and -. (B) Using common language instead of professional vocabulary reduces the chances for misunderstanding and thus fraud. (C) Maintaining a common ledger for credit and debit (positive and negative value) transactions means they are always sorted through time which is probably our most basic intuitive sense of record as humans. (D) We should always be suspicious of appeals to authority, and the professional vocabularies and self-auditing professional societies in which they congregate, which generally turn out to be the inertia-driven self-interest groups of dynastic rent seeking. (E) Objective and explicit record keeping is good practice. (F) The "whole picture" (all transactions) is a clearer and more logical default intellectual scope than the "half picture" (only credit, or only debit transactions).

Using these tools you can model transactions in any economy, whereas using double entry bookkeeping you will encounter increasing issues when modeling multi-party transactions, multi-hop transactions, multicurrency transactions (traditional double entry book keeping systems utilize a single currency per ledger), etc.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish but the wiki articles you list don't support the point you are making.

The US isn't responsible for the 2019 Bolivan political crisis and certainly didn't destroy Bolivia. I have to believe you are just trolling with language like, "The US destroyed Bolivia". Unless you call supporting the second round of elections (along with the European Union) the cause of the crisis they had. I've been in Bolivia recently, they will be just fine.

Not sure what you are implying wrt the Chilean coup d'état - the US didn't like Salvador Allende but he was overthrown by his own military.

The UK support of the Iranian coup d'etat in the 1950 (post WWII) was due to a conflict with AIOC (a British corporation) and US supported in turn. Not a good look by any means but also not a pattern of machinations as you make it out to be.
