Same thing happened in 2008--gold dropped along with everything else after Lehman, but quickly turned around and was already making new highs while stocks were still bottoming out. Liquidity crises are anomalous events which don't say much about the long-term forces that move asset prices.
I suspect the problem is that firefox sometimes performs poorly. But most power users don't see this problem because they either have firefox when it performs well or because they have a powerful computer.

For reasons I cannot understand, firefox on my 8GB RAM windows surface eats up huge amounts of memory. But it uses very little RAM with the same profile on my much more powerful desktop.

How Big Is Bandai Namco?
I'm not trying to take this discussion in a bad direction, but we're seeing a society-wide failure in the US to wear small pieces of cloth over our face to reduce the transmission of a serious illness. People frequently fail to prepare adequately even when given the means and opportunity. Search and rescue scenarios are not always for people that planned around getting lost and have a locator beacons on their person. I agree, if everyone had one, it would be ideal and would almost completely eliminate the need for what I described.

edit: rather than reply and extend the thread, I just wanted to say I strongly agree with you on the matter of PRBs and survival prep. I think you may have persuaded me to pick one up for day hikes.

I actually can't say I'm surprised. I've talked to a number of African businessmen who've spent time traveling and working in India on business, and they report that the discrimination and bigotry they faced there is a real cause for concern. One of the weird things about racism is that it's not just former colonial powers/white people discriminating against BIPOC, but also a vast complicated web of xenophobia that some POC exhibit towards other POC. There is a historically discriminated-against ethnic group in Afghanistan who have been persecuted by the Tajik and Pashtun majority, because they look Mongolian/Central Asian and are not Sunni [1].

I have personally seen discrimination in Pakistan, by the ruling elite class in the Islamabad/Lahore area, against darker skinned persons of different ethnic groups whose home area is in Balochistan.

That's a sociopathic response to why on earth 71k people should die every year in a country of abundance simply because they don't have any money.
Maybe not relevant to your actual point! But most of the things you mentioned aren't a problem anymore.

* no package management

I use Go Modules for Pion and really love them https://github.com/pion/webrtc/blob/master/go.mod I select the versions I want and everyone that downloads my code uses the proper version.

* No vendoring

Just do `go mod vendor` and you are done

* importing modules directly from GitHub without any concept of versioning

You set the versions in your `go.mod` file.

Go is actually really nice from a community standpoint. WebRTC is driven by Google and is magnitudes worse. I deal with a wonderful mix of arrogance and ignorance. I appreciate the great tech they bankroll and try not to let the other stuff bother me.
In the modern world people don't buy gold to make transactions but to store wealth. No wealthy person would store their fortune in fiat (paper) currencies such as dollars, but in things with real value such as shares in a companies, property, or other things of value such as gold or silver. At any time these floating currencies can change their value (think hyperinflation, or just exchange rates).

Compared to other "real" things, gold can be liquidated into dollars VERY quickly if you need to make a transaction, and since it's a real thing, it cant disappear.

Also, often gold is stored by the company you bought it from on your behalf, so you can sell it back instantly online. So no need to have to have a home safe.

Also, at an average return of 10%/year over the past 10 years (at least in australian dollars) it's has been out performing many other investment options.
It's true that at the beginning and end of each move, every piece has a specific coordinate in a 2D space, but it is still nice to imagine that knights' moves (and castling) involve travelling through a third spatial dimension. And yes, the pieces themselves are conventionally thought of as volumes in 3D space rather than areas of a 2D plane.
Note that they state "all things that have already been fixed". Did you use Go when these oversights were present?

> There's only one thing that destroys privacy even more thoroughly than ad targeting: payment.

Can you expand? Because I disagree. I would rather a company have my name, payment info, and email address than all those things plus other personally identifying information. I feel like a payment model decentralizes the issue and that I would not be tracked around the web. I don't need the WaPo to know the other sites I've been on, what my political affiliations are, my age, gender, etc. This is because I don't see the issue as companies know who I am, but rather that I don't like that companies have intimate details of who I am, or maybe more simply put "who I am vs what I am." To me the latter (tracking) is invasive, the former (payment) is consensual. As one might say "just shut up and take my money."

But I am open and interested to differing opinions.
Somehow I prefer this solution than ubiquitous drones with superior audiovisual capabilities everywhere and especially in the most remote regions of the planet.
Just need to carefully expose the wiring in the cable itself then. Or yank out the socket and connect to the wires there before snipping and shipping.

Unplugging just enough to expose the prongs is risky because the point where contact is lost will vary from receptacle to receptacle.

Chances are things are plugged into a multi-plug hub anyway. European homes are especially lacking in sockets in my experience.

I accidentally replaced an outlet and added a switch to a circuit that was still energized. I had turned off the wrong breaker, and failed to confirm it before I started work.

But, careful work habits and some tools that happened to be insulated anyway, meant that I was never bridging two different potentials. The job went flawlessly and I only noticed when I plugged the outlet tester into it at the end, expecting to go turn the breaker on and come back and look at the lights... but the lights were already lit up.
That's a great idea but it's wildly outside my wheelhouse!

As common as this argument is, I've always found for me that there's a hierarchy in "ease of use" for text selection that isn't quite as simple as "device X is always better". From quickest to slowest:

* Keyboard command that requires no counting or precision and has no easily-confused variants. In almost all editors this encompasses up, down, left, right, home, end, select or delete a line, and so on; some editors have more sophisticated ones like "select all in enclosing characters", or Vim's non-parameterized text objects ("cw" for "change word" as opposed to "dt6f" for "delete to the sixth occurrence of 'f' or maybe to the character in front of it, I always forget which").

* Mouse selection in any editor that lets you do multiple clicks to change selection object (e.g.: single click character, double click word, triple click line; on a Mac this is nearly any editor, including the text box I'm typing in right now). This isn't as precise as a correctly-executed keyboard command like "dt6f" or some Emacs equivalent, but it requires less cognitive switching: you don't have to think about the command and you don't have to do any counting. You just know you want to select from there to there. If you mess up, it rarely requires any effort to recover.

* Keyboard commands that require you to think carefully before composing them. This is where Vim, god love it, sometimes falls down hard. I know exactly what I want to select, but I have to stop and think about the "best" way to select it, and if I screw it up, I have to get back to where I was and try again -- which may require yet more thinking. I don't doubt that there are people who are just super good at this and get it right first try evey time, and those people are... well, probably not much faster than someone who gets selection right with the mouse every time.

tl;dr: Mice do not suck, and I like trackpads, dammit.

The real questions is: Why has gold risen so much and platinum (which is much rarer than gold) stayed relatively flat recently (down since 2009) and is currently worth less than have as much? Platinum was > $2K/oz during the 2008-09 financial crisis...it's now under $1K/oz. What makes gold's intrinsic value so much higher?

"The price of platinum changes along with its supply and demand; during periods of sustained economic stability and growth, the price of platinum tends to be as much as twice the price of gold; whereas, during periods of economic uncertainty,[7] the price of platinum tends to decrease because of reduced demand, falling below the price of gold, partly due to increased gold prices."

It can be useful for killing a clojure virtual thread who only uses shared memory by reading thread-safe persistent data structures and writes only to clojure atoms/STM (besides his unshared local state). If this is possible, then Loom + clojure can be a better model than erlang for some usages. Myriads of linked actors but with the added feature of shared memory for global views (see Rich Hickey criticism of the actor model) and optimized message passing (you don't need to copy messages if you have a global GC and they are clj persistent data structures). But external killing of a linked actor/vthread -one of erlang usually ignored secret sauces- is fundamental, if not, you need adhoc mechanisms like Go cancellation contexts who IMHO adds a lot of error prone accidental complexity. Think usages beyond supervisors/fault-tolerance like killing obsolete requests/computation or speculative execution.
CPI is also a measure that is altered over time by groups with a vested interest in keeping “inflation” low.

As a very simple example of why this may be misleading, consider that house prices are not considered in the “basket of goods” that Americans buy, despite this being literally the most expensive purchase most people ever make.

The formula itself is also changed from time to time. If we were using the “old” formula, inflation would be MUCH higher (shadowstats.com for current numbers).

Congrats on making the sacrifice to build something, and then following through to releasing this first public version. You will likely do quite well.

I would suggest, if I may, that you are going to get a lot of people dismissing your product, both now and in the future. If this is your first time being in the seat of both the creator and the public face for something you've worked so hard for, it's going to feel uncomfortable, and you will want to be defensive about their comments -- it won't seem justified that someone could make what feels like a low-effort, flippant comment about something you put so much time into.

In general it will be better to let it slide. They were not going to be your customers anyway. Lots of people will misunderstand who your target customer is. Power-users will say "why would I use this?" Or people who don't need any videos will say "there is no market for this." It doesn't matter, so long as people who are your target market see the value in it.

But more importantly, focusing on dismissive comments will take a psychological toll on you. You'll be sitting at dinner and feel angry about the jerk on the forum who said your work had no value. You've done great work, and letting those comments gnaw on you may make you doubt yourself, or think less of what you've built.

It's OK that not everyone sees the value in your product, nor should they: it just means you intelligently defined who you're going after. And that's great.

It'll take some practice and time to not feel the sting of negative comments, and the desire to argue with them -- to prove them wrong. See if you can be aware of your own emotions about them, and why they make you feel the way they do. As you do, you'll become fairly immune to it, and it'll help you truly enjoy the fruits of your entrepreneurial labor. This is a normal experience a lot of people go through.

Congrats again on a fantastic release, and for the dedication to give up so much to make this happen.
The idea that NAT is in any way related to security needs so badly to die. You don't need NAT for a firewall or access control. NAT is a hack to stretch IPv4 and that's it.

Nearly all security intrusions today are "pulled" in anyway via the web, e-mail, update channels, etc., or are injected by human beings via large scale or targeted phishing.

I did netsec for a while and during my tenure all the incidents we had were caused by phishing of one form or another.

Once you are inside the network, any tiny bit of defense in depth supplied by NAT becomes irrelevant.

Security is so full of mindless cargo cultism...

I use to scoff at gold investors, I was one of those 'only the sp500 is the right asset class, it always beats every other asset class over the long run' type people.

then in 2019, I saw a chart of asset prices over the last 20 years. Gold, oil, and real-estate out performed the sp500 over that 20 year period (to me, a reasonable 'long period of time').

its actually still true today in 2020, probably will remain so for a long time.

gold aug-2000:aug-2020 = 409:2000 or 4.89x
sp500 aug-2000:aug-2020 = 1471:3327 or 2.26x

that is serious under performance over a 20 year period, which has been true for ever a year now. not true with oil anymore though.

The solution as I see it is to encourage independent creators who want things that represent that 1992-2012 spirit to create them. The cost and time required to do that now is really cheap and seeing as how a lot of people lament their absence, some level of success is guaranteed.

Ultimately I think it comes down to personal desire and long-term goals. It seems like a lot of great, ambitious ideas that could/should have stayed one-person or small team operations get looped into the VC/growth thing (effectively destroying their original intent).
