Unattended for 14+ hours you mean. A baggage handler on the departing side could be bribed to steal it and you would have half a day of unfettered access before the courier on the plane even knew it was missing.

Of course you don’t check it if it’s that critical.
Thank you. This was very helpful. I would have spent another few hours without your help. If I may make a suggestion, those steps you described should be performed out of the box when I launch the instance with a larger volume size to begin with. And the docs should mention what you wrote above in case someone resizes their volume after the fact. As far as I saw, the docs do already contain instructions for Linux and Windows. Would save others like me, many of whom I suspect will run into this same issue, a lot of time if it gave the macOS instructions you wrote as well.
One reason it's good for the cryptocurrency ecosystem is because Ripple was never a real cryptocoin, in the decentralised trustless blockchain sense like basically all the others.

A bit of a loose analogy might be regulators stopping the sale of "cheese", which is not actually cheese, next to cheese products. All the other actual-cheeses were cheapened by this "cheese product" being sold alongside it.
I don't like the fact that I have to work, but the sad reality is that I have to. There is no other option available to me. And if I have to do it, shouldn't I learn to find some enjoyment in it, rather than angrily gritting my teeth until the bitter end?

Many of that look quite US-specific, like all the required extracurriculars for university applications, obsessing over CV building during the studies, the tuition debt, then having to earn a ton to pay for childcare and education for your kids, long hours, little vacation time... In most Western countries except the US it's not that cutthroat and competitive.

I like this. Not because it's a good idea (it may be, but IMO is not), but because its exactly the kind of high level, open ended, open minded approach that is needed.

I think that a lot of folks approach this problem thinking that land, fertilizer and water are the main issues. It makes sense, they are indeed the main inputs to plants. They are not however the main costs and inputs for large scale agriculture. For large scale ag the main costs from a societal standpoint are energy, labor and waste. Land where you farm is cheap and plentiful. Same with water and fertilizer (relatively). Labor needs to be imported, along with energy and managing storage and waste, including the food/grain market fluctuations are the main challenges. These are not solved by vertical farming. These are solved by automating tractors and harvesting equipment, making the path to market from the farm more straightforward and efficient, and figuring our our labor issues and not just ignoring them or hand waving saying robots will do it.

JavaScript became successful simply because it was the only real choice, and it would have been so even if it were less permissive. VBScript’s failure stems mostly from the fact that only Microsoft supported it (and as I remember, it wasn't even particularly well documented).
I think the article goes the wrong direction as well, but for different reasons. We should look to the field of modern psychology for answers about our emotions, not philosophy. We understand the brain a lot better now than we did in Aristotle's time.

Anger's neurological function is to motivate action. It originates in the unconscious parts of the brain, and like all emotions it can arise involuntarily. It sounds like your girlfriend was putting her anger to use in a way that it's neurologically well adapted for (though absolutely in an immoral and unhealthy way).

Most individuals possess some degree of ability to consciously regulate their emotions (brain damage reduces this ability, many other factors like genetics or past trauma can too). So after you experience anger you can influence what you do next.

Modern psychology generally recognizes that like most emotions, anger has value but how you process it is key. Rationally examining the roots of your anger can defuse or redirect it and is the principle behind cognitive behavioral therapy and similar modern therapies.

Repression isn't a healthy way of handling anger, it only builds up, becomes internalized, and resurfaces later in ways that are harder to understand. I think it's better to express your anger (there are limitations of course, we don't get a free pass to run around punching people, but venting to a friend is healthy).

In my opinion as someone who buried his anger for 20 years, the key to handling it is to understand where it really comes from, and then harness the energy it generates to act in a way which addresses the root cause. To use the article's example of theft, if you get really angry because someone stole from you, maybe your emotion originates from a history of financial distress. If so then you may be able to change your actions, channel that energy into building financial security, and not experience this distress in the future. Anger in this situation becomes a force for clarity, good and purpose because you acknowledged, channelled and examined it. I think as a society we're in a place where we allow ourselves to be angry all the time, but couch it in superficial righteousness instead doing the uncomfortable processing work and owning our own role in it.
I think they may make sense in some locations. I don't see them scaling to replace traditional ag, barring some unforeseen advance yielding extremely cheap and plentiful clean energy. Besides significant power requirements, large construction projects come with large emissions footprints, as do synthetic fertilizers (it may be possible to repurpose existing buildings, and compost could help provide for some portion of nutrient needs; this would require a sea change in social and lifestyle conventions which is currently happening far too slowly).

There are also real possibilities of supply chain and infrastructure unreliability due to increasingly frequent extreme weather events, geopolitical tensions, etc.

What's most appropriate is likely highly context-dependent. I think a multi-pronged approach is best, and vertical farms could certainly play a role. Personally I see halting deforestation and fossil fuel use/extraction as the most urgent priority. I'm also a bit biased toward crop breeding/engineering for increased carbon uptake and soil sequestration (the lab I work in is pursuing this); it could help restore soil health while improving yield as well as resilience to environmental stressors.

I don't know much about the details of vertical farming, though. If you have anything to share, I'd love to check it out.
I don’t think you ever forget how to get angry. It’s like riding a bike, it just may take a few tries. It’s how you handle those few tries that dictates your next steps

It has nothing to do with intent. It’s tone deaf to ask why someone would want to preserve memories, especially if it’s based on your one anecdote of yourself not wanting them.

It's a dump on 1 years earnings, that everyone feels they can 'write off'.

Investors/Fed/Gov may not see it as a secular shift.

So as soon as they see light at the end of the tunnel, then it's 'a matter of time to normalcy' so a rush to get back into the money.

A major war would be a different thing because it could mean a secular shift in the system.

I was like you for a long time, but in the last few years, I've learned that in small controlled doses, in some circumstances, anger can be beneficial, and you should learn to harness it. Anger is probably our most dangerous emotion. But we are not robots, and no matter how rational we try to be, we still have to interact with people who are not.

I notice that you keep describing people's actions, not their internal emotional state. Seeing how irrational and terrible angry people could be was why I tried eradicating anger. You can still let yourself experience anger without being a monster though. It is possible to be in touch with your anger without being enraged or being bad.

How is anger good? I don't have time to find the sources now, but I read that people in a state of anger are more capable of discerning if they are being deceived or treated unfairly, which I have found to be true. Letting yourself experience anger can enable you to assert yourself.

If you spend most of your time around reasonable people you trust, you should almost never get angry. But unfortunately sometimes you encounter people who deserve your anger.

I can think of many instances where I was taken advantage of, and I regret that I had trained myself to completely suppress anger. And I can think of many more recent times when my anger has given me agency that I would not have otherwise had. The important thing is to treat your sense of anger as a call to action, and when you start to resolve your problem, your anger can quickly fade.

I'm curious what a modern society that didn't need to work would look like. Especially a heterogeneous society like the US without a single driving culture. Would it be a golden age of philosophers or one of ever more insane (and violent) cults? After all, people with a lot of free time, guaranteed "income" and a lack of driving goals seems the perfect candidate pool for cults.

Many of the nas's get pretty close too this... but there's really no such thing as a mail server for non-technical people. "Whats a domain? Can just put whatever like?" Etc etc.. even if you baby people through all of that, you still end up with a device that needs to be backed up, isn't available when the powers out at home etc..

Not knocking the nas's btw, I really like them because they do make it relatively simple to do a whole swathe of the common services, but it's only simple to me because I know how to do it by hand. A non technical person won't even understand the terminology.

That said.. I did wonder whether the deployment of solar and batteries to many homes might eventually also enable the deployment of edge services to per home servers. Right now the power draw prob makes in unworkable, as do maintenance costs.. but won't someone think of the reduced latency?

The article describes how automation is eating away at low-skill/experience jobs, but doesn’t provide any insight on how we transition from the the collapse of minimum wage work to all the things are automated.

If food cultivation and harvesting are completely automated, who maintains machines when they break or err? If we leave all of that work to the machines do we lose a skill that’s fungible for sustaining life?

Assuming we can completely automate healthcare and AI is responsible for developing new diagnostics and treatments without human oversight. Who acts as a check on these systems and who is responsible for correcting issues when they arise?

If we can automate 90% of manual and low-skip labor, who makes up the remaining population responsible for completing those tasks and how are they incentivized to continue performing those tasks?

I like the idea of utopian automation, but we don’t have completely automated transportation (maybe one of the closest possibilities). This seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

New Covid-19 cases, deaths in U.S. fall to lowest levels in weeks
Being just fine for a vast majority of transactions isn't "just fine": Being able to transact privately and without unaccountable private companies randomly censoring your transactions is critical to human rights. The capriciousness of institutional choke points deprives people of due process and makes it impossible or unreasonably complex to make automated systems that transact autonomously without constant human supervision and intervention.

But these are all issues of exceptional cases, where additional complexity, costs, or risks (e.g. from fraud due to irreversibility, key management liability, or loss due to exchange rate volatility) are acceptable costs of doing business. The vast majority of payments -- even by some hypothetical outlaw-freedom-fighter-bandit -- are extremely boring, low risk, and not likely to be subject to censorship. The value of being able to pay in Bitcoin primarily is that it exists if and when you need it. But on a daily basis for most boring non-international payments it isn't a big win.

I don't agree that gold is a good store of value at all. It's most commonly used form is a totally unauditable fractional-reserve (rehypothicated) censorship prone IOU. In physical form it is extremely expensive to secure, transport and transact with. It is easily seized both by state authorities and bandits. It's essentially unusable for international payments due to transport risks, which Bitcoin is extremely useful for international payments. It is easily forged in ways that are difficult and costly to detect (gold coated tungsten requires special instruments and potentially destructive tests to detect). There have been single incidents involving well over 2 billion dollars of fake gold at a time ( https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/Mystery-of-2bn-of-l... ). And if we ever figure out how to mine asteroids Gold will be no more valuable than the cost of dropping rocks from the sky. And as icing on top: Gold has even more disadvantageous tax treatment in the US than Bitcoin does!

Even if you use Bitcoin in a custodial way-- which essentially gives it all the positive properties of a centralized system, along with many of the negative one-- it still retains extremely powerful audit abilities, custodial Bitcoin can cheaply prove it isn't fractional reserve in an unforgable way, and it's still immune to central bank monetary policy whims. [Not that I advocate that-- I think custodial Bitcoin misses the point, but for applications that don't need Bitcoin's other properties it can be a reasonable alternative.]

If you're interested in my history with Bitcoin I did an interview on Bitcointalk a month ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262967.msg55722022#...
I call my 95 year old grandma every week. She doesn't have a cell phone, only a landline. I would guess many if not most older people are similar. If the replacement service doesn't work with landlines then it's dead in the water as a replacement and will only function as an additional option. Going to stay that way for a while as (my assumption is) the group 70+ likely have a large population without call phones.

Not to mention rural communities without adequate cell service.
There is a staggering amount of work that needs to take place within a decade to transition the global economy away from fossil fuels, and compared to the size of the workload, very little of that work is currently in progress.
Just sharing my flow for those looking to build note taking apps:

I use whatsapp for note taking.
It solves a similar problem for notes as drop box did for files.

My notes are usually pointers. I don't track tasks in there. Tasks go into a separate app. I use apple mac reminders for task tracking. The way I use it is - I ask siri to set a reminder with task desc.

My tasks are reminders that I extend if they are not done by the expected time.
I don't like the term tribe either. To me, these are biases. And biases can change or be context-sensitive. I find myself in 1 and/or 3 often depending on the work.

You pointed to the duration of the bull run, I spoke of the general principle that bubbles can persist for quite some time. Why do we need to observe the (predicted) bubble's pop before agreeing that bubbles have varying timelines? This statement could be removed from the Bitcoin context and still make sense.

Protest granny ‘prepared to die’ for Hong Kong’s freedoms
When I went to grad school, I just got admitted to the grad school and not specifically a Master's program, a terminal Master's program, or a Ph.D. program.

After enough courses, and maybe a paper (I wrote a paper, later published as part of a reading course) can get a Master's. I did that, got a Master's.

If want a Ph.D., then just pass the Ph.D. qualifying exams (QE), courses or not, Master's or not. After passing the QE, do some research. The standard was "an original contribution to knowledge worthy of publication", and the usual criteria for publication are "new, correct, and significant". So, proposed a dissertation research project (I already had a 50 page manuscript I had done on my own on a problem I brought with me to grad school), got approval to work on that as my dissertation, I did some research, derived some math, wrote and ran some software, wrote up what I'd done, stood for an oral exam, passed, and got a Ph.D.

I never paid tuition.

If for some Master's program Georgia Tech is charging a lot of money, they they should have something different from what I outlined.
I did a similar thing (the evolution of corewars code bit-- not the light fixture bit) after reading Steven Levy's "Artificial Life"[1] in the early 90s. The chapter on Tom Ray's Tierra[2] really excited me.

Some people say that reading Richard Dawkins caused them to become atheist. For me, it was very clearly "Artificial Life" and the code I wrote playing around w/ "evolving" Corewars code.

I managed to eek out a little "evolution" in my experimentation. I was never particularly religious to begin with. My simulation code caused me to deeply consider the power of evolution. Here was this tiny change, evolved from randomness in a minuscule virtual "petri dish", out of a tiny amount of ingredients that were brittle and unforgiving of the slightest change, on a time scale that was the smallest fraction of a fraction of the age of the universe.

Observing the sheer magnitude of the chemical "parallel computing substrate" at the scale of atoms and molecules, interacting in real time, across a space as large as the Earth, in a timescale measuring billions of years, and over a wide variety of temperature and energy gradients made me aside any concerns that all life couldn't have arisen from randomness.

I didn't need an "intelligent designer" after that. Nature, the vastness of space, the minuteness of atoms, and the overwhelming scale of time were enough.
