> but if you view it as a savings technology then it's the best one that's ever been created.

I am sorry but this is just silly and reckless. Although bitcoin is somewhat less noisy than it used to be, it is still a volatile and extremely high-risk investment. Whatever merit bitcoin might have on the long-term economic fundamentals, right now bitcoin is mostly a speculative instrument, or an investment on computing technology.

You do not want to put your savings into something where the price has repeatedly dropped > 60% in a single week. It can be part of a larger strategy: I could see x treasury bonds, (1 - x) bitcoin as a sensible high-risk tactic. But putting all your savings in bitcoin is dangerous.
I work with a couple of rather novel/unconventional treatments/“medicines” (kambo and ayahuasca). I find myself biting my lip hard at this topic because most folks have never heard of them and demand some kind of research backing the wild anecdotes surrounding them. They’re both incredibly potent and can treat a wide range of maladies, but are very demanding ordeals to actually go through. I’ve come to terms with not giving advice, and tell myself that he/she must want to be healed and they will ask if/when they want it. Often I simply want to bring them up, just to raise awareness, but even that very difficult considering just how “out there” they are (usually getting dismissed or raised eyebrows). Any suggestions for how to talk about these unconventional things without offending sensibilities?
Re: "longest chain", the first release of Bitcoin actually used longest chain rather than most work! This was secretly changed by Satoshi very early on, presumably when Satoshi realized that "longest chain" is broken and "most work" is the correct protocol. This would have been a hard-fork if not for the fact that at the time hashpower was so low that difficulty was still at the minimum limit of one, so the two versions did the same thing in practice.
I really like the idea and I did an in-depth analysis of your company's homepage here [1].
I remember chatting with the founder of Paircast [2] about this specific issue in the web, the ability to drive and replay sessions + the ability to provide real-time support was totally missing. I am mind blown.
That being said I am not sure why you're not using the full potential of your tool to depict the capabilities of what you guys are trying to achieve. If you hire a copywriter or a conversion focused person, they will point the same issues out.

Regardless this is a very promising technology, I would LOVE to see this as part of Intercom/Chatwidgetcompanies in the future!

Based on Wikipedia, I'm guessing this was TK-17 and 20 as TK-12/13 were probably scrapped before these picture were taken.

TK-17 and TK-20 where officially decommissioned in 2004/2006. They were probably effectively decommissioned years before that but it'd make bad PR to say so. The pictures are from 2009 so that's many years sitting neglected with probably just enough people to keep the reactor alive and theft at bay.
Do you realise that these submarines aren't in service?
They don't need to act like a charity and nobody expects them to. They should decide if the features are a purchase or not, if they are why are they taking them back? If they're not, why are they selling them like purchases?
The tone of this article (plus my experience on indeed) suggests that a lot of these roles are for larger companies, not for little companies who are suddenly online and need a FT/PT web dev.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a shift in job listing behavior that caused a sudden influx of php job listings on indeed. So it isn’t as if the jobs didn’t exist before, they just weren’t posted on Indeed.

The salaries discussed (77k) doesn’t suggest that a surge in demand is pushing up pay.
Thank you for sharing that, I wasn't aware that it was being worked on finally. Looking forward to this one very much. Hopefully SSL support in the server will be next since it is the easiest to implement, then I hope the nested directories thing is resolved. That would make Hugo much more powerful.
It's funny that I'm less tired and have more energy as an adult than I did as a child (isn't it supposed to be the other way around?) It's pretty rare that I show up to work in a tired state, but it was a daily occurrence at school.
lockdown is literally the goal. this is an example of a way to target such a lockdown instead of a blanket quarantine. if you can reliably get false negatives, you can clear people to go out.
>The alternative is “internet originalism” — no censorship. If social media companies returned to their original roles, there would be no slippery slope of political bias or opportunism; they would assume the same status as telephone companies.

The author seems to believe the original role of social media platforms was to provide censorship resistant channels for maximal free speech under the presumption that this was the original "intent" of the internet, and thus the only valid utility for any site on the internet. Apparently forums that moderated content didn't exist before Facebook, etc.

But this is historical revisionism. The intent of social media is to monetize user-supplied content and data. They are not and have never been utilities, the are and have always been businesses.

And it's ironic for someone arguing "internet originalism" to invoke the First Amendment in the spirit of "Constitutional" originalism to support an argument that the First Amendment is explicitly not intended to support. A truly originalist interpretation of both the First Amendment and the internet would support the right of social media platforms to do exactly what they're doing, and strictly oppose attempts by the government to interfere by, for instance, forcing them to act as "utilities" and publish speech against their will.
I'm very conservative and don't assume that I can't beat inflation after taxes.
Full self driving seems like an app. I think it would be okay to deactivate, but shouldn’t be included in the resale value of the car. Assume over time the capability becomes tuned to the driver, in that case it wouldn’t be the same as transferring it over.
To be fair, JetBrains runs on the JVM which arguably has the same problems.
Do you even understand what deregulation did? It gave a free for all to the private run companies that they did not have before. In my comment, I even stated that deregulation is different taking gov't run institutions private. It seems that I needed to expand the thought further. As you stated, private companies have been running vital services for a long time. However, they were regulated to keep things in balance. It was the removal of those regulations that sent things down the slide we've seen. Again, it started with Reagan, but it has taken until more modern times to fully feel the repercussions.
I really like the "What you should know..." section of the BrandVantage website: https://brandvantage.co I like how honest and transparent it is, and how it sets proper expectations.
you don't have to burn a shit ton of power, you can "pre-mine" your "currency" (many did)
You're welcome to have that feeling. I'm also not downvoting you.

As it stands, I'm quite happy being ludicrous and unreasonable if that's what you think it is. I just can't (and won't) see the world the same way as you and likeminded others.
This is where a market solution should be used. Set up the conditions for minimum delivery of carbon-free power for a given period and let private companies bet on it. If people can deliver a battery solution that exclusively use renewable to charge them, and do this cheaper than nuclear, then they win the bid.

They don't get to use natural gas as a backup. They also need to be held liable to maintain the minimum capacity just as effective as more expensive solutions, but if they are willing and able to do that cheaper then they should win the bid and we should let them deliver carbon-free energy.
I don't think this is specific to Tesla at all. I think it's more that people are waking up to the fact that they no longer own the things they buy. We've seen the same discussions take place recently around ebook and music libraries disappearing or being non-transferable.

Personally I believe that the current licensing situation may be good for company profits, but presents a net negative for society. As a result I'm always happy when I see it being discussed rather than simply accepted as "the way things are".
I wouldn't say it's unfounded but anecdotal. And I wouldn't necessarily call it "hate" either. PHP definitely isn't one of those technologies that you see often on job listings of major companies - sure they might use it for some things such as blogs but it's rarely part of the stack of their staple products. The question isn't whether they use it but to what extent and in what products.

The combination of Chrome sandbox escape and Windows escalation make an extremely potent and high value combination. I hope we get more information on the "targeted" attacks
I'm not sure how that's even legal under the magnufson-moss act. If Tesla requires you use their parts (the software portions and other many other parts are copyrighted to prevent aftermarket suppliers), then they would be required to provide them.
I don’t see anything in my purchase agreement that indicates you own it or can resell your Autopilot license. Agree the messaging could be improved.
That is a very fun story. It got me thinking about those SNL skits parodying Trebek and Connery on Jeopardy. Is there a known history between them?
The Russian nuclear submarines are just crazy big compared to the American ones (or anything made by anyone else for that matter)

Typhoon class has a displacement of 48000 tons.

Los Angeles class has displacement of 6927 tons. Typhoon class is a bit under 7 times bigger. Even the largest American sub (Ohio class) is still less then half the size of a Typhoon (the largest submarines ever built) at 18750 tons

edit: As a side not Russians have mainly moved away from the old Typhoon and replaced it with Borei class which is half the size (24000 tons). Only 1 Typhoon class sub is still in active service.

FWIW stay curious - I was curious and followed the citations in those articles and found that there’s isn’t as much literature as is being claimed, and not a lot to directly support the conclusions. Some of the research that is cited is research into serious long term sleep deprivation, and is being assumed to apply to DST without any direct links demonstrated. For example, one of the papers cited (Koopman et al) talks about how sustained “Social jet lag” of 2 or more hours per week for years leads to higher rates of diabetes. That doesn’t directly support the idea of health risks caused by DST, nor is the difference in magnitude even discussed, but it was cited as supporting the claim that DST has serious health risks. There are at least several more examples of that in those links. Anyway, I don’t care if DST is abolished, but I’m personally more scared of agendas being cloaked in scientific sounding literature than I am of DST.
You are right, but that seems orthogonal to the poster’s comment.

Preference and disorder are not the only two options. Difference is another one.
hahahahahh
For anyone interested in visiting a Los Angeles class sub, "Smarter everyday" made a nice series of videos inside one.
Agreed! One of my favorite scores. I was sad to learn the Mr. Poledouris died fairly young.

Tesla is free to be as inconsistent as they want to be, and we are free to mock and criticise them for it.
This may be true in general. But the these particular. organizations have demonstrated that they are not trustworthy. So now what? Trusting known liars is a foolish path.
The bad rep is totally deserved. PHP, for most of its existence, has been a profoundly bad language per se. That doesn't mean nobody's ever built anything valuable on top of it, and I fully understand that (much like also-justifiably-maligned JavaScript) it's evolved quite a bit. But the points made in this mid-2012 article are absolutely spot-on in describing precisely why PHP absolutely earned its reputation: https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/

What do you mean by incompatible runtimes, can you give an example?
When thinking about the "Cold War" the emphasis in the submarine community was on "War", not "Cold". US and Soviet submariners played an intense game of cat-and-mouse for decades. The ICBMs on Typhoon and Trident were there to enforce the "mutually assured" part of mutually assured destruction. Typhoon's mission was to carry ~200 nuclear bombs with a guaranteed strike-second capability.

In that environment, wouldn't you rather have our crews sharp and focused?

I have no metrics on this but I was under the impression that due to the size of the PHP community the package ecosystem specifically for web is probably larger. The community itself being larger is of course another plus as it means you're able to get easier access to the knowledge of others.

Thirdly of course the shared hosting providers (by what I've seen in the past) usually support PHP almost always - this is not the case for either Ruby or Python.

That seems to support parent's comment. The surgical masks prevented much of the smoke from going out the front, the "cloth mask he borrowed from his wife" let much of the smoke come through the mask.

Regarding the rest of the video, his claim of "masks have no effect" seems to be easily demonstrated as false from his experiments. Yes, some smoke does leak, but compare that to him exhaling without a mask. You would get a blast of vape smoke right in your face. The masks clearly filter some smoke and deflect the rest of the smoke away from where he's facing. While obviously not perfect, it looks like a clear improvement to me.

Finally, comparing smoke to covid-19 is disingenuous. You will almost never find individual virus particles floating around the air, they will instead be contained in water droplets which you exhale.
Languages evolve and PHP did it and still does. PHP is as old as Java. Haskell is even older. In the category of PHP, Java and Haskell we pretty much rehash the same language features with some minor twists in new languages. Hardly we get new features that make an impacts like in the case of Go's goroutines or Rust's borrow checker.

The problem is the runtime of the language, on which PHP, the language, runs. That could be easily improved on porting the language to a VM like Facebook did with Hack or to something like GraalVM. Runtimes over languages.
Exactly. But I am glad that forced me to look at other options and found Emacs pdf-tools mode which is amazing
You are at the borders of accepted medical science and facing the woods now, having exhausted the usually-accepted and documented approaches. You have two choices:

a) turn your back on the woods and return back to the usually-accepted and documented approaches and try them and their variations again or

b) continue in the unexplored woods.

For (b) to work you must try everything you hear. But you say you have chosen NOT to hear. If you want to live in ignorance and pain, by all means, help yourself.

But if you continue into the woods, it is the "Auntie" remedy, the anecdotal, the accidental personal discovery that will finally help you. IOW you have no choice: open up and listen to the "woo remedies" for there is nothing else for you, having exhausted what is "known". And when you find the remedy, no one will hear you speak of it, since it will be "anecdotal".

> Rarely, if ever, is it so clear cut. And if anything, it's quite a juvenile (and pervasively Western) value system.

And the opposite edge of the same sword are stories of Keanu being such an amazing human being etc. All the while no one knows or seems to even care who they truly are. We demonize and idolize for a sense of moral righteousness and to strengthen our world view. It's far from compassion, has little to do with them, and it's juvenile.

Bad behavior is not an argument against good behavior. Bad character is not an argument against good character. They're not mutually exclusive, and it's a false dichotomy.

Don't feel bad! I have a thick accent when speaking English and have had colleagues ask me to try to annunciate better since they cannot understand me.

I know it's my job to communicate clearly so I make the effort to try to speak in a way that can be better understood by my team. I know my team are making an effort to understand me too.

I appreciate being told that I cannot be understood because it shows my team want to understand me and want me to be understood.

If your team can get past the sometimes awkward moment where you have to say "sorry; I didn't understand that", I'm sure they'll apreciate it too.

I'm interested in trying to determine whether or not someone I know has this disorder by examining their 23andMe data (with their consent, of course). I imagine that it might be possible to write a program that does this for me, but I only have a high school-level understanding of genetics.

Can you recommend any resources for me to consult to try to accomplish this? Or do you think it would be too difficult for someone outside your field to attempt?

I see you mentioned that 23andMe data doesn't expose this result directly, but it seems like it might be in the full data export. If that's not the case, I suppose there's not much of an option.
Attack submarines are much smaller than missile subs. I don't understand exactly why this is and what the trade offs are here - manoeuvrability, cost? They seem to need approximately the same size crew of 100-150.

The closer comparison would be to the US Ohio-class missile sub, which is 3x the size of the LA class with the same complement.

I know a lot of people who are ready to retire except they are worried about health insurance. If Medicare kicks in earlier than 65, then perhaps those who want to retire or semi retire will clear up bottleneck.

How about instead of ‘mandatory retirement at 50,I propose ‘retirement benefits kick in’.(Altho it won’t solve the problem..but gives people a choice to retire earlier without fear of being left without instance coverage)

I should have also clarified that this thought experiment scenario is for the United States only. Apologies.

There's also securities lending (to short sellers), many ETF sponsors retain all proceeds from securities lending for themselves. This is similar to how many brokerages earn most of their revenues by taking a spread on cash balances, so they can charge very little on transaction costs (i.e., they pay you less for unused cash than money markets pay them). After all borrowing money is the same as shorting cash, so there's nice symmetry here :)
