The article does a terrible job of considering the downsides. It includes comical phrases such as "Bitcoin has never traded down over a 5 year period". Bitcoin is 12 years old. It also talks about what happens if BTC goes down, and says MSTR could service the debt- which misses the point that if BTC goes down MSTR's value goes down. Sure, they won't go bankrupt, they'll still have a bad invesstment.

Let me spell out a clearer downside:

If Bitcoin goes to 0, you're left holding a boring business analytics company that punted off its entire cash balance on a risky bet.

Or another downside: The SEC launches a second investigation into the CEO. After the last settlement the CEO of this company saw his net worth drop $6Bn which is double the market cap of MSTR.
Comptia's Security+ exam refers to countries as "nation states" when it talks about government entities targeting businesses or other governments, and that nomenclature has become commonplace.

Sec+ is also a requirement for a lot of government related computer work, so it's not surprising that the guy they interviewed used the term.
It doesn't mean much more, but how about a nobel prize?

They're talking about perception of weakness, and frankly what you're describing there would be evidence of his being weak if "the establishment" blocked him.

Compare the following situations: (A) two processes running in the same operating system; (B) two processes running inside containers in the same operating system. How exactly is situation B less safe than A?

You are instead comparing B with (C): two VMs, each running a process.

Whether k8s / docker or VMWare Workspace / custom Xen etc is worse is another question. In my limited experience they are all terrible. But that is distinct from containerisation (confinement at the syscall layer + tooling).
This is a great idea. If I were rich, I'd leave my fortune to the three biggest religious leaders in my city (I am an atheist). The condition is that every decision to spend that money would have to be unanimous and public.

When I commute to work by bicycle I have to deal with a mile or so long stretch of sharrows. It is by far the worst and most dangerous part of my ride. They were put in place instead of the non-separated bike lane in the rest of downtown to preserve on-street parking.

On the majority of rides I am either dodging doors, dodging cars that are overtaking too close, or both. This entire stretch of road has a double yellow as well, which makes the overtaking even worse.

I got a Varia light/radar from Garmin so I can at least know when people are approaching from the rear. I feel a lot safer but that’s probably not actually true unfortunately. I highly recommend the light/radar combo because it is very helpful with overall awareness while riding.

I don’t know how this could be resolved because much of the street is residential with fairly small front yards and no driveways to speak of. So I’ll just have to do my best to stay safe and hope that drivers in my city get more accustomed to sharing the road.

Sure over abstraction is a problem. And sometimes duplication is better than depend y hell.
But other times more as traction is better.

In true it’s an optimisation problem where both under abs over abstracting, or choosing a the wrong abstractions lead to less optimal outcomes.

To get more optimal out comes it helps to know what your optimisation targets are: less code, faster compilation, lower maintenance costs, performance, ease of code review, adapting quirky to market demands, passing legally required risk evaluations, or any number of others.

So understand your target, and choose your abstractions with your eyes open.

I’ve dealt with copy paste hell and inheritance hell. Better is the middle way.
From the article:

They didn't take funding, they signed a contingent contract. Only their own money was at risk.
More likely, only a dedicated path, not a lane, will fix that.

I had to look up the difference, and I don't think that distinction is something most people are aware of. I've only ever known "nation state" to mean "country", and suspect I'm in the majority. I don't think most people use that term intentionally, because few countries would qualify. That list gets even shorter when you limit it to countries that might be antagonistic to the US, and even shorter when you get to those that are threats. In addition to your two examples, China certainly doesn't qualify either, which basically just leaves North Korea.

Low cost by what metric?

Cycling accidents costs money in other ways as well:
a) emergency responses to cyclist/car collisions
b) insurance costs
c) loss of healthcare savings (nationalised healthcare or not)
d) well-being through physical exercise

Perceived safety from sharrows vs real safety created through separated bike lanes is exponential. You'd have a lot more commuters/children being allowed to bike to school and much more adoption. The investment in biking infrastructure will pay for itself in other ways.
In Norway we have this failed campaign for bicycle safety. On some roads there are big signs with "share the road" and the picture of a cyclist looking behind as he's overtaken by a car [0]. The intention was to "humanize" the cyclist and make cars behave, but instead the cars see the sign as "cyclists should look behind and let us pass!" or "he should cycle on the curb!" and instead increase the rage they feel when getting slowed down..

I mostly run large teams who have handled both internal and consumer facing services. The software devs who don't have an inclination to understand the customer problem generally have not been highly effective and are not people I would use as role models or for setting expectations to others. I'll add to this that I do not believe there is a place for an "architect" role that is separate from a developer role. Good developers learn to think about architecture and do so with larger impact as they become more senior. "architects" who don't code tend to be "architecture astronauts" who do not help you ship value fast, at quality, to your customers.

The same thing happened to me the first time I tried to benchmark my code on M1.

In my case I was building using Bazel. Bazel was running under Rosetta because they don't release a darwin_arm64 build yet. I didn't realize the resulting code was also built for x86-64.

I tried explicitly passing -march but the compiler rejected this, saying it was an unknown architecture. After some experimentation, it appears that when you exec clang from a Rosetta binary it puts it in a mode where it only knows how to build x86.
What is the alternative? The article acknowledges that changes are the result of COVID related budget cut backs ("But the budget collapse caused by COVID-19 scaled back the project radically, and now we’re considering sharrows instead of separated bicycle lanes."), then spends the rest of the article talking about how both the current situation and new proposal are unacceptable, but neglects to propose any kind of solution given the budget constraints.
Why wouldn't the curious person simply search for themselves? A commenter doesn't owe anyone anything. Other than courtesy, of course.

> The US would benefit from a weaker dollar as it would protect what remains of our manufacturing base

At equilibrium, a weaker or stronger dollar doesn't affect exports, it's just an exchange rate. What can affect exports is a weakening dollar.

In an inflationary disequilibrium, exports increase only insofar as foreign consumers are able to purchase domestic goods before those goods' prices have adjusted to inflation. In other words, exporters are unwittingly selling their goods for a lower price.

Absent inflation, exporters could have chosen to increase exports by intentionally lowering their prices. That they didn't suggests something about their marginal costs.

With inflation, the exporter has a similar benefit over its suppliers as the foreign consumer has over the exporter, namely buying goods with new money before prices have adjusted. As such, the exporter's suppliers are also unwittingly selling their goods for a lower price.

Whether this is beneficial depends on where one is positioned as new money propagates through the economy. Banks get it first, then to their borrowers, other financial institutions, and so on. The losers are those at the tail-end, who face higher costs but have not yet had their own prices bid up with new money: wage workers, those on a fixed income, etc.

The net effect of all this price manipulation is a wealth transfer from those who receive the new money later to those who receive it earlier.

> currency manipulation, is equivalent to a tariff or an export subsidy

While an export subsidy can also increase the quantity of exports, the larger economic impact of intentionally weakening the currency through inflation is very different.

log time-stamp?
Right. But if you take an interrupt after the two of those three operations, and you want to restart on the big core, what do you do? Disallow interrupts in split operations? Unwind the partially-performed op? Allow the big core to run 128-bit ops to complete this one after restart? Something else?
Bikes really should have their own lanes, just like cars and pedestrians effectively do.

I hit a cyclist once, breaking his shoulder and collapsing the windshield and roof of my car. I was driving on a three lane, 45 mph road in the middle lane, and as I passed a slowed right turning car in the right lane, the cyclist rode his bicycle out into my lane, from the front of the right turning car, perpendicular to the flow of traffic. I had maybe 10-20ft to slow, and hit him at probably 20mph, if not more. His home insurance ended up paying for my damages.

It definitely has more impact imo in organizations that tend to specialize and get too big to known everyone.

I worked in a larger technology/shared services team where the execs set an expectation of “no email Friday” policy and encouraged peer learning and training on Friday afternoons.

It wasn’t 100% effective, but helped establish a personal development culture, got SMEs talking outside their “turf” and sparked a few good projects and staff transitions. (We discovered we had a change management guy who was passionate about kubernetes)

Colors, brightness and angle of vision.

Without going into specifics, the shortest way to get a good screen is probably to buy an IPS display (it's barely more expensive). Pretty sure all IPS display are at least okay.

The cheapest displays are TN because it's cheaper to manufacture, sadly that technology has very bad angle of vision, move a feet to the left and another feet and you'll see the image looking different, it also has a more limited rendering of colors. Not great.

Typically you realize how bad a screen is when you try to calibrate it (looking at a few pictures is enough, no need for expensive equipment). With a really shitty screen, you will notice that the display literally cannot render half the colors.

For example looking at a picture with 16 shades from pure white to pure black, the 4 first levels of white look the same.

Typically that's the part where you have to adjust brightness/contrast until it's showing a difference. If you have a really shitty screen, there's no settings where half the colors will render. The example above being extremely skewed toward bright white will slowly destroy your eyes, being too bright and removing details/contrasts.
For context my experience comes from San Francisco. There are definitely streets exactly like what you mentioned, which can be frustrating but the ones I am thinking of are generally touristy anyway (Polk comes to mind as I spent a lot of time around there)

I just can’t see how some paint on the road makes it actively WORSE, the cars and bikes are still there in the same volume as before.

Cars and bikes just don’t belong in the same infrastructure, it’s ridiculous to expect it to work long term. People in this thread mentioning bike lines in the middle of the road scares the shit out of me, that cannot where bicycle infrastructure ends up
Representation matters, not for some woke reason, but because 1)you want the vaccine to work for all populations, and 2) different populations react differently to medicines. A prominent case comes from early health research that largely excluded women from research samples, just assuming what was good for men was good for women. For example, it was uncovered after a number of car accidents that due to physiological sex differences in metabolism of zolpidem (Ambien) in women, dosages of Ambien were too high for women, who'd then drive impaired in the morning. In 2014 the NIH introduced a policy requiring the consideration of sex as a biological variable, because “studying both sexes is a guiding principle in biomedical research that will expand knowledge toward turning discovery into health.

It isn't a required tradeoff. Most of the gdb frontends I tried display the local variables at all time, but also allow writing arbitrary gdb expressions if I want to. Having both is clearly better.
No, but there was not positive publicity for sharrows in Los Angeles. Everyone either hates them, or are unaware of them (I’ve spoken with a few drivers who said they have never noticed them).

I think the benefit is likely due to increased numbers of cyclists on those routes (and other routes - just a general heightened awareness of bicyclists).
Set up a bank account in your new destination with a bank that is present in both countries. For this amount, arrange the transfer and supporting documents in person in your local bank, and make sure they run it with the foreign branch to avoid hiccups.

Yes, but remember Sanchez's Law of Abstraction[0]: abstraction doesn't actually remove complexity, it just puts off having to deal with it.

This may be a price worth paying: transformations that actually reduce complexity are much easier to perform on an abstraction of a program than on the whole mess with all its gory details. It's just something to keep in mind.

All nations don't.

Some are too poor (take your pick). Others are rich, but small (the Vatican). Most just don't care enough to prioritise it over better things they could be doing.

And then, there are countries that simply consider the US an ally, and consider it morally dubious or practically unpromising to spy on them.

Add this up, and I'd be willing to give at least 10:1 odds it's one of a list of maybe ten suspects, even when adjusted for GDP or population.

As an aside, I'd really be curious why this "everyone does it" is used anytime something like this comes up? Is it just macho "I don't have friends but there are useful idiots that consider themselves my friend" talk? Is it nihilistic/cynical pretentiousness? International whataboutism to defend one's team?

Because it certainly isn't based on any actual data. If you add up offensive hacking by the USA, China, Russia, Israel, and maybe two or three others, you're pretty well done with the full list, but still close to <x> nations short, where <x> is the number of nations that exist.

So you're inferring that iFinex provided information in response to the Subpoena, just based on it having been a while....

Do you have any evidence of iFinex having provided all the relevant financial information relating to their balance sheet to the NYAG (a court filing for example).

All the court filing's I've seen relate to their case state that they're still fighting having to provide their financial information.

Edit: you can read the latest court filing here https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docInde... . Now IANAL but that does not sound to me like the NYAG was given the information needed. And the information they did provide was enough to cause the NYAG to initiate the martin act hearing they're currently contesting.
