It wasn't just new, CVS to subversion was nearly drop-in change. It didn't require change in process - FreeBSD project could have kept its Cathedral style process.

Git is too different from SVN and CVS.

The real problem was - someone had to work on the switch itself. There is so much tooling that had to be adapted to new version control. Everyone talked, but no one sent any patches. The same reason it is taking so long to switch from Subversion to Git.

I can't find it right now, but I've watched a video that explained CVS -> SVN timeline for FreeBSD. Here is "short" version of it: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-Jun...

sounds like we need legislation to require the badge-cam video evidence to be presented the court to the allow any legal proceeding to by the police to continue and any where the proceeding are initiated by a member of the public to be found in their favor automatically if badge-cam footage is not presented.

When I see a statement like this, I must immediately ask: what do you consider to be feudalism, and when do you think it existed?
How to Solve the Right Problem
In Japan, a notorious and No1 import agency called "ASK" does this operation for video cards. They sets higher prices at launch (3060Ti/3070 is 30%-40% expensive than US' MSRP) and finally decreases the prices. As a result, now we can easily buy any 3060Ti/3070, and 3080 if you don't choose brand, but expensive. What's interesting here is that sold price in Japan is sometimes far cheaper than scalper's price in US.
When you consume it as a supplement, you are inducing what your body would normally produce anyway if you are in normal cycles and in the dark. The only difference is dosage. Your body produces very small amounts. Stores sell pills that range from 1mg to 10mg and sometimes even higher. Even 1mg is a lot. That is why they suggest you stop taking it for a couple weeks, every few months. One use of melatonin is to attempt to reset a sleep cycle if your cycles have been thrown off by travel or other circumstances. Other uses are unrelated to sleep and have interactions with the gut. Hormones are almost always multipurpose. Melatonin has no ability to keep you asleep however.

Resetting your sleep cycles can take a day, a few days or weeks depending on your age, health, hormone levels and environment.

In terms of wake cycle, your body will metabolize the melatonin and then later start producing more adrenaline. As people get older and if damage has occurred to their adrenal glands, or a myriad of other problems, then they may start producing adrenaline too soon and wake up early, feeling anxiety. This can also be a result of too much Cortisol (stress response hormone). These hormones are a complex topic all by themselves, even leaving out confounding factors.
And yet Bitcoin keeps succeeding. Governments around the world own it. Sound money that you can actually rely on is a store of value that can't be inflated away.

Sounds like the Uber business system is starting to collapse.

The Uber business model relies on the income from investors and drivers to supply the Administrative bonuses for the Business Officers.

Once the investors start to stay away and the drivers start to wake up to the 'scam' where they end up working for peanuts (or even out-of-pocket), Uber will collapse completely.
I’ve seen this go badly in the other direction too. Customer unsubscribes from a marketing email, but then is unsubscribed across the whole mail sending platform causing them to not receive critical updates about their account. I sadly believe that email notifications are a part of UX that is often forgotten yet always creates so much friction when done poorly.
>But that's not what is happening in these videos. These people are acting like they're "in" to these things when they're not, but still having to experience the act involved. It's not simulated.

There are different levels of simulation, though. It may not in fact be a requirement to be turned on by the acts one is partaking in, despite consenting (or even enthusiastic consent). We do things for other people, for money (this is obviously the big one) or for some other motivation (someone may not enjoy deep-throating, but may enjoy the fact of being seen on video).

Tom Cruise likewise has probably been unenthusiastic about some roles. His stuntman may enjoy some stunts but not all of them. Some stuntmen probably enjoy very few. Do we demand that the actor in a horror movie is as horrified as the viewer? That the children's TV presenter is as enthusiastic about the alphabet as his audience?

The simulation is on two levels which are easy to conflate: story simulation, in which a rape scene, for instance, is played out (and just like Tom Cruise, he doesn't get shot and the actress isn't raped), and act simulation (as you point out, Tom Cruise isn't really shot, but the actress still takes a facial). The second is worthy of moral discussion, but there are several empirical questions to answer:

* Is there anything wrong with it? We may think the actress suffers, but we can't know that in many cases. That's the wonder of acting. It's also "toil" (as in Adam Smith's "toil and trouble" to produce a good). The sewage treatment technician toils in some particularly horrible work. Some such jobs could be described as degrading, and some may not even be as necessary as sewage treatment. I feel empathy for them, but I'm unconvinced that banning such jobs or heavily regulating them is a good solution.

* The act really happens, but the morally problematic part of the act, as performed, may not. An ordinary person may feel humiliated and degraded, but the actress may not. This can be true even if the actress doesn't enjoy the act (but still consents to it).

* What happens off-scene? BDSM practitioners will tell you the importance of after-care. Surely some porn production also affords this. Feminist pornography prides itself on aftercare when needed, for instance.

There are many instances where things "really happen" in acting outside of porn. Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand in a scene of Django Unchained. Actors becoming so emotional and feeling sadness or loss may cry on stage.

People react to media and negotiate their limits and deal with moods in different ways. Actors are uniquely placed to do that even better.

Are you suggesting that we should administer IQ tests to everyone currently serving time in prison in order to identify which "geniuses" should be released so that they can pursue nobel-prize winning careers in physics instead?

"Punishment usually serves no noble purpose" is something that Martin Nowak has argued with members of the press, at a time when Mr. Epstein was scared that he could be re-indicted on the felony sex-trafficking charges, which in his case given the egregiousness of his misconduct would have almost certainly led to serving a life sentence in federal prison.

From your comment, I'm now starting to wonder if the word "noble" was accidentally misspelled in the Science magazine interview quoted above.
This is one strategy, but it usually is only a small subset. More often the people left behind are the people that have some additional relationship going that keeps them safe. I've seen some very talented people that were not getting along with their manager or at least not buddies. In harder times like now I've seen it even more arbitrary.

Anyone let go right now - it sucks - but it isn't you that sucks. It is the monkeys that are managing the pandemic that suck.

Just to be annoying here:

You keep saying that a benefit of IBKR Pro is "no PFOF". That's true --- IBKR Pro is I think the only online retail brokerage that doesn't do that.

To my understanding, the only meaningful benefit to "no PFOF" is potentially better price improvement. Which is to say, if you place orders with Ameritrade, which is doing PFOF, you're going to get price improvement over NBBO, but with IBKR Pro, which doesn't, you might get even better price improvement.

In the IBKR Pro case, that's true: according to their advertised price improvement stats, you will get 1/3c of improved price improvement per share as a consequence of trading through them compared to the industry average. Your call whether a third of a penny is meaningful to you.

But in the general case, it might not necessarily be true that "no PFOF" is a benefit; it's all a question of the fees you pay and the price improvement you get with a given brokerage's routing, right?

Am I off here? My sort of baseline belief is that firms like Citadel and Virtu are in fact very good at executing retail orders, and that it'd be weird to have a goal of making sure your dumb retail orders were routed around them.

That's not a categorical denial of being penetrated, it's a denial of having information about being penetrated.
>Every single game on the Google Play store does this now, too.

it will be a problem until the transaction is A-B with the merchant.

as long as there is a central entity between the two profiting somehow (yelp,google play, amazon, ebay, etc), it'll always be gamed like that, hoping the central party stays willfully blind to the gaming of the rules.

And the central party will stay willfully blind without legislation -- it affects their profits.
Let’s say there are only two banks in the world for simplicity.

1)You start with boomer’s 1M of savings in BankA

2) The bank lends out 1M of that to Judy who deposits it in bank b.

3) bank b lends out that 1M to James who deposits it into his account in bank A.

4) bank a lends out that 1M to Jesse who buys a house from Karen. Karen deposits the money in her account at bank b.

5) bank B lends that 1M out to
Jordan who buys cryptocurrencies. The Cryptocurrency seller Jake deposits the proceeds into bank A.

We now have:
Boomer: 1M in bank A(the only “real money)

Judy: 1M bank B

James: 1M in bank A

Karen: 1M in bank B

Jake: 1M in bank A.

4 million dollars has been created from the initial 1M dollars. 5M in bank assets, 4M in bank liabilities. This process goes on and on.

What do you mean by all money is loan money?
Google reviews are massively edited upon complaints. A while ago I rented a pretty nice and expensive apartment in Southern England. I was the first tenant and there were huge pipe leaks and other horrible construction issues, like a misaligned lift that kept trapping people inside. Neighbors next door, who owned apartments built by the same company, had different but equally annoying issues. And the company didn't do much to fix them.

After moving out, I left a pretty elaborate 1-star review in their Google profile. This triggered tons of very descriptive 1-star reviews, as customers were asked their opinion by a Google bot. After a few months, they were also deleted. Said company has been featured by Bucks newspapers as they bully locals that oppose their tactics to allocate land by bribing councils. I guess there's nothing like having aggressive solicitors.

Just because you run in circles with people who make super high salaries doesn’t mean they’re that common. Unsurprisingly, people who make 300k TC are more likely than the average to meet other people who make 300k TC.

That said all the numbers I’m finding online are more in in 80-100k Canadian dollars range for salary for the average, so 60k is definitely extremly low for TC.

Farm work is more dangerous than being a cop, and the federal government lets children younger than twelve work on a farm unless a state sets its own rules. Age, hour, overtime and minimum wage provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act that protect young workers in other fields don't apply. Seventeen states have exempted farm work from most or all their child labor laws: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming.

While I think you mostly played this right I also greatly dislike people leaving totally binary reviews. 1 star because they had sleazy review tactics? This is part of the problem. We need unbiased reviews now more than ever. So many people aren't going to share your principles so trying for force the issue by giving a misleading rating is not a good approach. I think it would have been much better to just review it based on the product you're purchasing and if you feel so inclined put a big "DISCLAIMER" at the top that people will read first that goes into your feelings on the matter.
TypeScript has just as few characters/lines as your Rust example:

if (file === null) throw new Error("File must exist");

vs.:

let file = file.ok_or(Error::new("File must exist"))?;

It's also easier to type (5 non-numeric characters vs. 8 in Rust), and IMO it's easier to read and requires less tribal knowledge. (Also could be just 4 non-numeric characters in TypeScript since the semi-colon is not required.)

That’s a given. Increase the cost of anything and you’ll decrease the consumption (in general, exceptions exist).

My point is that the discussion is centered around only taxing the sugar/fat disproportionately consumed by those in the lower economic strata, meaning it becomes a de facto regressive tax.

Like I said above, I’m not against the idea. I’m against the way the implementation is typically discussed. Tax it, but tax it across the board. Tax caviar and truffles as well as hamburgers and sodas, that’s all.
And while we are at this, I am very interested in another thought experiment.
* Person 1: income $400k per year, lives in California
-- must spend $1.5M+ to afford a 4 BR home for a family of 4
-- must spend $15 per hour on child care workers because of minimum wage laws
-- spends an average of $20 per person per meal, because of all the costs baked into the price of goods and services in the state
-- spends 10 - 12% on state income tax but does not receive any direct benefits from state programs because of their income level (the only point being about the additional expense of it that is not a direct benefit, not that the state tax is unfair).
-- spends 9% of all goods purchased on sales tax

* Person 2: income $400k per year lives in TX
* spends $700 - 800k on an equivalent or better home
* spends an average of $12 - 15 per meal per person
* can spend $10 per hour on child care workers because of minimum wage laws
* spends 0% on state income tax
* spends a 6 - 7% on all goods purchased on sales tax

Ignoring things like what the specific min wage levels should be, etc, etc, is cost of living something that should show up in "fair tax" owed?

If the answer is no... I have a hard time seeing how any specific tax level could be considered fair (even after the argument of "well people should just move to another state").

If the answer is yes, then I have a hard time imagining how any federal income tax system could achieve the goal of "fairness".

And perhaps getting rid of the income tax altogether (perhpas replaced by Universal or partial BI + national sales tax as one idea) would result in a much faire / progressive system.
I'm afraid that's just not true. I've made sourdough bread for years, and never added any sweeteners.

There are plenty of bread recipes that require no sweetener, and it's definitely not needed for yeast to develop.
> The fundamental issue I saw was that McVoy decided to foist what I consider an unconscionable license agreement upon his unpaid open source users: users were prohibited from working on another version control system without having their license to use the read-only BitKeeper client revoked. (And reverse engineering BK's protocol was also forbidden.) From the starting line I already thought he was slimy for that.

I'm letting you use my commercial product under the understanding that you won't try to undermine it... I think that's actually pretty reasonable. I'm giving you something for nothing in return, and all I ask is not to try to take more from me? I always though that Tridge was ungrateful in the situation.
You can resolve this for yourself experimentally. Or just look at the math (pulled from google's nutrition facts):

Eat two cups of cooked white rice, ~412 calories, 316 g.

A day later with the same starting conditions, eat 316 g of butter, or ~2,265 calories. I bet you're going to feel way more full after eating the same "amount" of butter vs rice.

As for 500 calories of rice vs 500 calories of butter, hopefully someone else can chime in with references, but again, do the experiment for yourself: how soon after eating an entire meal of rice vs butter do you find yourself getting hungry? This is complicated by what kind of macro ratios a given person's gut is used to, but generally, I find myself ready for more after the rice much sooner.

>When people state that they want the wealthy to pay their fair share,

What they mean is that they are jealous of the rich. They are want the rich to the equally poor through some cosmic egalitarian enforcer.

I'd also say that when I've worked through people's confusion surrounding git (and other complex systems, it is because they are attempting to model the system as simpler than it actually has to be. They're not thinking of cases the system must handle, and in the absence of that (essential) complexity, they come up with an incorrect mental model that they believe works (as they're not aware of the counter-examples to it).

This happens often. As another example, a former PM of mine used to assume that if our wearable recorded heart-rate data, it also had sweat data. That is, the wearable either had a lock, and recorded, or didn't. But sweat came from a different sensor than HR, and the two sensors could independently get or lose their signal. And so, sometimes one was null, sometimes the other, sometimes both, sometimes neither.
2 hours average of "moderate to vigorous" physical activity is not a trivial amount. I've personally lost a lot of weight (~12kg) doing less than that amount of average exercise consistently, while eating a crap diet (I moved, and started commuting to work and school via bike).

Anyway, at the end of the day calories in/calories out is a hard limit. Sure, they may be getting even 50% of their diet from "rocket fuel". But if they're calorie constrained by a hunter/gatherer lifestyle, why would that matter?

I imagine people often misattribute JBlock bugs as Qutebrowser bugs, so I can certainly understand the aversion. FWIW, in my own usage, JBlock has consistently functioned as expected without causing any apparent issue. Still, I'll be glad to finally retire it and upgrade to something more fully featured and baked in.

Of course, as always, thanks for the excellent software!
From what I've gathered the contents of the email were largely like "Either we do XYZ or we can work towards setting a date where I leave the company." So it is open to interpretation and vague enough that both sides can get their interpretation in. The way I phrase it to myself is that she was fired for threatening to resign. IE, that relationship wasn't good to begin with and this was just the last straw that pushed them to severing it. I suspect that people who try to claim she was fired/that she resigned don't focus enough on the broader context where that relationship was bad in the first place. This doesn't seem like it was something out of the blue, this has definitely been going on for a bit, so given that, which party took it over the line to breaking up their employment relationship seems like a detail rather than an important fact.

Coinbase actually owns Xapo's custody business, they bought it in August 2019 [0].

An amount like $5b would likely pay less than 10 bips (0.1%) per year in custody fees, or $5m/year. Coinbase Pro's volume has recently been doing up to a few million dollars in revenue per day - and that's not even counting the higher brokerage fees that apply on top of some of that volume.

Custody is certainly an important part of the business. But I think brokerage currently accounts for a much larger % of revenue. Custody will become bigger as the price of crypto grows.
