I love Technology Connections! From the comments, it seems that trying out chlorinated paraffin (possibly combined with normal paraffin to reach a desired density) is probably what is normally used.

It'd be neat if there was a more attainable standard for certification of tiny autonomous vehicles which are unlikely to cause much damage. Would be great for food delivery.
The implication was that the other ways to steal a car weren't deal breakers, but being able to steal the car via bluetooth was simply unacceptable. My question was why you didn't say "I won't buy a car that can be stolen", why does it matter what the method is?
Buyers vs. Users
Another player in this market is Sectigo. They are providing cPanel branded free SSL certificates to cPanel servers. Some hosts have switched to these because of API rate limiting done by Let's Encrypt. Mind you, it's specific to cPanel (a web hosting control panel) but that is a giant market.
But the article works equally well for Uber or Lyft or indeed We work, all of which were funded by professional VCs.

I really like Ben Evans, but he's ignoring the main thrust of the article and nitpicking about definitions.

That's rarely a sign of someone who has a strong argument against a piece.
Didn't know about StrongForth.

As for Kitten, I didn't like the syntax. To me the interesting thing about Forth-like languages is the postfix/rpn syntax, which Kitten moves to far away from. I really liked how `if` in Factor was just a postfix word like any other, where the then- and else-clause was just quotation arguments.

I'm sure Kitten is a fine language, it just wasn't what I was looking for.

If the basic stuff that runs the world (energy and chemical feed stock) doubles in price two separate times in the space of 7 years, you just might expect tough times.

Interest rates lower than inflation, gold and silver not keeping pace with inflation either, general economic stagnation.

Not a good time, no it wasn't.
Academia needs to die. Tenure system should be the first one to go. Maybe the covid crisis will restructure and redesign how we learn and how we educate the future generations. When higher education is akin to being in an abusive relationship, it’s time to stop and reflect. And change.

Dead right. For twenty bucks I can read emails without taking out my phone, measure my blood oxygen, and me and the Chinese Communist Party are able to keep track of how well I've been sleeping.

Yeah people really overestimate the security of regular keys. The key of my 1985 Mazda would open about 10% of all 1985 Mazda cars. The lock of a standard US house door can be picked by a 9-year-old child in seconds (source: my 9-year-old child). They are superficial security measures.
I'd definitely appreciate seeing something like that too. After a couple of "build it first" failures I've come to see the wisdom in finding your customers and validating your idea first.

I've read several of these SaaS walkthroughs and it invariably seems to follow this pattern:

1. Author has a blog with a large following on some topic.

2. Finds niche in that topic.

3. Makes a product and pushes it via their blog.

4. "Incredibly" their product gets tons of customers.

Thats what MAP was suppose to do. The brands don't want all their sales from one distribution partner because that distribution partner will have enormous leverage.

Where MAP fails is if brands want to different prices globally. This is because items will just get re-imported if they are priced lower in other countries. They want the benefits of globalization which is cheaper labor and materials but don't want to negative aspects which is the same price globally for the product.

All of these tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, Github Actions/Other CI) seem like overkill until a node dies and you need to recreate it, or configuration gets messed up and you don't remember how you deployed it in the first place. It sounds like the OP has had experience with these problems. If these aren't problems you have interest in solving, then Heroku or a similar platform would be the way to go.

Running a business on a single node is not advisable. If your scale is that small, or uptime doesn't matter, then sure go with that. If you're running on multiple nodes, you're going to need a way to schedule containers to your cluster one way or another. Scheduling and orchestrating is where complexity get introduced - Kubernetes wrangles this complexity.

You can run a lot on a $5 server. I would probably run 3 $10 servers for a small business at least, which feels like still within the realm of a cheap budget for business infrastructure costs.

As far as Kubernetes complexity goes, I think this is a self-perpetuating idea on internet tech communities. I don't think it compares to the complexity of actually programming the web apps themselves. There's like 6 resource types you have to be familiar with to work with Kubernetes, and most of that will just be Deployments (where containers actually get scheduled and run, health checks, etc). The others are for configuration and routing.
I would hope not. There are plenty of places left where one can drive a car but not have Internet access.

This makes no sense to me. Preventing challenge trials causes more people to die and become permanently ill. What ethical system are you operating under where that is morally preferable?

FWIW, ethicists were split, but mostly on board with HCTs. It was mostly the government that was opposed.
Why is this controversial? There is a clear and obvious mechanism here.

The anti-mask arguments I've seen amount to the argument that masks don't work perfectly. Of course they don't. They reduce transmission, and that's the point. It's a numbers game where the goal is to keep the virus's R factor under 1.0.

This is also my intuition but political and market systems are extremely complex, outcomes are very hard to predict and there is rarely a one size fits all solution.

Regulation and public service work best in scenarios where the processes and data are well established and accessible.

For example transport via train / cars etc. is rather well understood and most efficient when regulated well and collaboratively/publicly owned and ran because of that. Individual competing actors only create chaos and inefficiencies in comparison. Most clear headed observers would agree to this, just by looking at current and historical examples.

But the logistics and production of relatively new goods and services still need to figure out their place. This is where a deregulated, free market makes sense as long as certain baseline requirements are met (protection of workers, consumers, the environment etc.)

A field that would be very controversial to socialize would be food production. On one hand privatized food production is wasteful and even literally toxic and a lot of countries see food production as a matter of national security, so they subsidize it. Also the logistics and needs of the consumers are well understood. But on the other hand almost nobody seems to think that it would be a good idea to put it into public hands.
Gold is nothing more than a bet against global currencies.

Gold producers, on the other hand, one of their biggest expenses is fuel. Fuel is cheap and Gold is fairly high. Combining those two seems like a good investment for a time.
That scene in Silicon Valley where Hendricks gets chewed out for trying to make a profit is extremely accurate.

The current system that we have is a miscarriage of Capitalism, where the HOPE of future profits is more valuable than the skill and competence to make a profit out of the gate, the way, you know, a grocery store has to before it goes under in two months.

Basically it's a giant pyramid scheme. A bunch of VCs throwing companies around like hot potatoes until the biggest idiot ends up with an overvalued load of crap.
Not sure you can request already publicly available information (https://github.com/ruby/rake/blob/master/rake.gemspec + everywhere where rubygems are replicated) to be deleted. Even less so when you as the author made it public themselves.
It's interesting that people are calling for him to get a switch specifically and not for him to get $200 which he could spend on a switch or not. That would make it feel like a market transaction and would call into question whether it was the right price, even though it was licensed to bypass the market.

So this is some sort of middle ground, folks feel like there should be a more meaningful gesture than is required by the license without feeling like it should be put into the psychological category of compensation/market rate.
You are clinically insane if you think that is true.
This sounds like an intractable problem, and putting it politely, the fault lies in the file format, not the VCS.

I don't care for Tesla or Elon much but I do pay attention to how media makes money. Tesla articles drive clicks which drive ad dollars. That model is frustrating and you get stories that are overblown which leads to more people disregarding stories and getting disenfranchised with publications.

Yes. But it’s not a definitive test. Hopefully genetic marker tests will become cheaper and widely available.
If gas was $.10 / gallon, everything we consume would be cheaper because every single thing we buy is transported in trucks. A huge portion of what you pay for at the supermarket is the raw cost of getting a good to the shelf from the farm/factory.

If gas was $.10/gallon, cars would be cheaper. We wouldn't need ridiculously complex gas engines tuned to yield another 1 mpg, or electric cars with $30,000 of Lithium-ion. They could be low-mpg and cheap and it wouldn't matter.

If gas was $.10/gallon, everyone's wages would, effectively, increase since every person who owns a car would spend less on gas, which for many people is a lot of money.

If jet fuel was $.10/gallon, flying would be cheaper. Importing and exporting goods from faraway places would be cheaper.
People are asking why decoupling from the gold standard would cause a loss in earning power for labour:

https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/the-case-for-hi...

"when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts. So having a somewhat higher inflation rate would lead to lower unemployment, not just temporarily, but on a sustained basis."

The specific intent of inflation is to devalue the real returns to labor to make unemployment numbers look better. The graphs clearly indicate that this policy is working.

Sure, there could be other explanations, but this is quite literally the simplest.

Gold standard advocates never use logarithmic scales when it's appropriate and there is a reason for that.
What puzzles me is that many people understand it, they understand that Trump would not have done the bailouts, but they still voted for Biden over Trump. Their hatred for Trump's personality was somehow a stronger factor than the very grim economic consequences affecting them personally.

I don't plan to. I'm sure word redefinition is nice in certain cases, but it's not something I'm looking for in a pure and immutable language.
> Looks like one of those "utility" modules that get used in a project because there's no proper standard library for node.js

No, not really. Buffer is already part of the standard library for nodejs. What this is, is a "safe" variant of the very same buffers, as the previous ones were found unsafe. Although if you're controlling the runtime, there is no need for safe-buffer package anymore, as Buffer from the standard library is now safe. See https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/buffer-constructor-depreca... for all information around nodejs "safe" buffers. Feross' library is mentioned there as well.
I just saw this thread. Thank you both for the tips, I will look into it!
Pure inflation is actually progressive: wages and prices go up in tandem (workers are fine), but savings (right peoople's) are debased.
This scales much better than crowbar guy.
But this is not what I'm talking about.

Rewarding greed would indicate that the companies would be making money in some unwholesome way (e.g. selling formula milk to mothers in countries where there is no decent water, leading to the deaths of babies). Ditto concentration of wealth.

What I'm giving out about is the opposite, where money is thrown at these deeply unprofitable ideas which keep expanding on the basis of the greater-fool theory.

That's a really big departure from what capitalism used to mean, and I think it's worth calling this out.

Profiteering off of healthcare has a cost, in terms of people not cared for due to various market reasons.
> No, the cutter incidence was worse than the disease, because the activated virus was injected into a population, whereas naturally only a tiny part would be exposed at the same level, and the rest would be exposed at a much lower level - that would give them immunity but not disease.

This is a more reasonable assessment, but it is still patently false. According to Wikipedia, 0.04% vaccinations resulted in paralysis in the Cutter Incident, compared to 0.1-0.5% of wild type polio. So the vaccine was 2-10x safer than wild polio. Without vaccinations, virtually all children were infected with polio virus early in life [1], so being administered the defective vaccine was still a lot better than taking a chance with the real disease.

Of course, you are correct regarding the 1976 flu outbreak. If you administer something to a large segment of the healthy population, even a small risk of side-effects will add upp to a large number of cases. If the disease itself turns out to be very rare, as was the case with the flu outbreak, the vaccine itself could cause more damage than the disease even if the disease is much worse.

However, this is clearly not applicable Covid-19, which we already know is spreading very fast and will need to infect a large number of the population before herd immunity is achieved. The situations are simply not comparable at all – even the vaccine from the 1976 flu outbreak would be less risky than the odds of being infected with a serious case of Covid 19 (of which the long term effects are also unknown, to be clear).

> But whenever I mention that immunizations have risks, I’m treated like a heretic.

Mainstream media, healthcare professionals and social media are all worried about the risks of a rushed vaccine. I literally see articles and hear conversations about this several times a month. Nobody is denying that large scale vaccinations have risks.

I'm not criticizing you because I'm against being cautious of vaccination risks. The criticism is that you are spreading false facts and misleading analysis that grossly mischaracterise what the risks of vaccinations really are, both presently and historically.

"Some vaccines can have rare but serious side effects" is a perfectly alright statement. But "Historically, two cases of rushed vaccines (cutter polio and Gullah barre) were worse than the disease - and these were for diseases worse than covid" is just not. Some of it is false and the comparison to Covid19 is misleading.

It depends on your usage. Sometimes denormalization is what you need.
Social influencing is more important. Who is "popular" in Kansas? I'm not a native Kansasian...who could spread the word that they are using a mask for the duration of THIS pandemic. (there will be another!)

The phrase, "Studies show ..." seems to me to be a more significant human invention, to motivate immediate behavior, than the actual technical studies themselves.

Just slap "Studies show" on the front of any believable collection of words which could be reasonably determined to be "common sense", and watch the behaviors trend.

The hard part of giving things to people is not necessarily gathering the things; but determining which people, and finding their contact information, and complying with taxes and tarrifs.
I have had listings published in old magazines. Yep, sometimes I got a cheque for 40 quid and was giddy with it. Other times, a couple of copies of the magazine.

I tend to agree with your comment about "it's a competition." It is why I release a lot of things these days under "do with it what you will. I'm just here for the lulz."
So? It's 8 months old without any discussion.
I abhor comments like these. It says that it needs to allocate 5 more bytes, and I can see that in the code, but it doesn't say why the magic number is 5. The comment explains the what but not the why. The commit message is equally as useless: https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON/commit/65541b900c740e1d5...

What needs to be fixed so that this "+5" can be removed? What happens if something changes and the magic number needs to be 6? Also, where's the unit test?

I'd add that in 1970, the intermodal shipping container became an ISO standard. Containerization has been developing since 1956, and along with minicomputers, would have an impact on world trade and manufacturing for decades to come.
I have managed to block them with some filters & ublock origin. At least for now.

Reading posts on r/uBlockOrigin, there seem to be multiple versions of facebook, and what works for some doesn't work for others.

I don't use facebook too often, but if adblock really stops working, I will completely abandon it. Before I found the correct filters, my usage did drop, since every other post (literally) was an ad.
Years ago I worked at a small, like 5-7 person startup in soma where we were surprised to find Rupert himself personally come by, later send some chiefs to do due diligence, and cut us a check. We worked with a few of his brands after that.
