Just in the last couple of days I set up Fastmail with a personal domain. At the moment I am more concerned with divorcing myself from Google than I am about privacy. It seems to me self-hosting is the only option if you are concerned about privacy. Using an email hosting service requires trusting that service to do what they claim so by definition none of them are sufficient. Eventually I plan on self-hosting but that's been on the to-do list for years now. One step at a time.
Well, rather than attacking alt-coins wouldn't lobbying for laws to allow them to block bitcoin exchanges (or tightly regulate them) as other countries have done be stronger evidence they were trying to undermine crypto?

The GP has drawn a strange correlation in my opinion that doesn't follow logic. But I admit I could be missing the logic.
The most effective CO2 sequester technology already exists : trees. Once we end with the number 1 cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss, the very destructive animal agriculture industry, we'll be able to reforest / rewild UP TO 80% of the land that we currently use for crops because that's the part used to grow crops to feed the 75 billion cows, pigs, chickens that we unnecessarily breed, feed and kill every single year. 80% of agricultural land is wasted on that as it only produces 18% of our calories which will be easily substituted by plant-based foods.
Also water waste : 55% of fresh water
And much more
In a plant based world, vast amounts of land will be able to rewilded, restoring the original habitats that were cut down (deforestated) to make space for all those cows that we don't need.

Generally no. But it's something that worth an attempt, no matter how clueless the attempt is, something positive may come out of it. Here's an attempt to implement a free and open source standard cell library using the 1-micron process from the 80s.

The Valve handbook doesn’t reflect the reality at Valve. Not all employees have the power to fire other employees or decide the salary of other employees. The employees that do have all the power and the rest compete with each other to build beneficial buddy relationships with them.

A true pure function combined with persistent immutable data structures (Immutable.js, Clojure, Scala, et al) can be memoized and re-executed practically for free (in very short constant time).

P.S. In React for example, in almost all cases the amount of memory dedicated to holding immutable data is typically tiny for modern hardware. So it almost always makes sense to trade memory for faster execution.

Car-free or significantly car-limited communities. Cars that are safer for pedestrians (not just for occupants in cars). Better traffic safety enforcement.

This is all true and anyone who payed attention to more than the heavily censored propaganda soaked /r/bitcoin saw it happen in real time. Years of saying that a throughput of more than a few kilobytes was impossible while one of the devs repeatedly - and this is not a joke - stated the sun revolved around the earth.
Email on its own should NOT be used for authentication/validation and collectively we should push to move past it.

Password reset emails are pretty terrible if not combined with something like TOTP.

So push everyone to start using TOTP. For communication that matters, signing keys is better than nothing.

I know PGP isn't that great, but for now we don't have better. Organizations that care about this are pushing on this, but for "general use" we'll probably never get there.
That has exactly been my experience too.
There are 80,000 post Luther Christianities, so it’s not as monolithic as implied.

The earliest Christians followed principles described in this first century document here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didache

The most famous at the time was loving neighbor as self. Pagans at the time left the sick to die in the streets. This is one reason Christianity had such a positive feedback loop for community life that it became generally the world’s largest belief system.
This is called a heat pump, and you will likely see this replace or augment traditional A/C and water heaters over the next 5-10 years.

Unfortunately winter air is actually _too warm_ for heat pumps to use winter air for cooling! They use outside air for heating, year round.

I wonder why it's based on immigrant status instead of socioeconomic status...while I agree with you, I can see how someone would interpret the current setup the same way the OP did.

It's worth noting that the error theory only erases the objectivity of moral statements. It does not provide any way forward in itself. Most moral error theorists actually subscribe to the idea that we should pretend that morality is real in most instances. This is known as moral fictionalism. There are several other ways forward. Some, for instance, say that we now have more freedom to experiment with "morality" given that we are no longer governed by it.

Only Stirner and "moral abolitionists" believe we should stop talking in moral terms. Once the moral error theory is accepted, it's only a matter of practicality as to what one should do with moral statements and sentiments.

As such, there's plenty of room for other statements not based in morality - ones from practicality, and normative statements which are not facts, but personal opinions.

I can still think murder is wrong; I can still argue for there to be laws against murder, and I can still be horrified by it. What I can't say is that murder is wrong (in the moral sense) for everyone everywhere, and that by murdering you are contrevening a universal law. There is no commandment (says the moral error theorist), moral, religious, or otherwise, that we must obey.

The most surprising thing is how little this announcement has moved the USD exchange rate (~$0.25). That rate is about where it was last month.

https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/XRPUSD/?exchange=BITFINE...

Yes, there was a big run-up, but that was largely drafting off the increase in the bitcoin exchange rate. The real test will be how much further XRP drops (or doesn't) from here.

>bitcoin is 100% doing exactly what it was designed to do

Bitcoin was designed to allow low-fee small amount internet commerce. From the first paragraph of Satoshi's white paper:

>The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions [emphasis added]

This is clearly no longer the case with the BTC fork of Bitcoin:

Therefore BTC is not doing what it was designed to do.

That would only work on a small scale. Large scale, truly massive adoption can't occur until the major financial institutions are on board. If businesses can't legally accept it, put it in a bank, make loan payments with it, all of the normal things you do with money-- or have off ramps to convert to currency to allow that-- then you won't get widespread adoption.

Culture is (per definition) the underlying unspoken rules that makes a group of people behave the way it does. So what you are describing isn’t culture. They are actually examples of rules you could have in a culture.
So I read the linked Apple PDF (not the Engadget article) [1] and it actually says that it's for first generation college students, which generally means "first person in the family to go to college", and after looking through it more closely, I don't see any language from Apple specifically prohibiting non-immigrants.

I don't think it is a paradox at all but simply a separation of concerns. I believe government regulation is essential to a healthy economy, but it can still be useful to have methods to store and transact value outside of centralized control in case there is a failure of government.

It's kind of like how the fourth amendment makes it easier to commit crimes, but we accept it as a society anyway because it is more important to provide opportunities for individuals to defend themselves against government overreach. It is part of the checks and balances that ensure a healthy democracy.
Climate change is going to necessitate a lot of uncomfortable changes, including not eating whatever you want whenever you want. Selfishness at that level doesn't work with 8 billion people.

Hmm. Well said. I've not been able to put my finger on what bothers me about a few of his novels and that's a good description of it. REAMDE was long also but didn't really suffer from that. I think it made Seveneves unreadable (for me).

The Diamond Age was another Cyberpunk thriller. It and Snowcrash were fairly tight novels without endless tangents and I think I like them best of his novels I've read.
Thank you, I meant non-optimal in the sense that using a (possibly free) email provider as a "backend" might mean that the emails are eventually accessible by third parties.

Having your own domain like that mostly shields from the provider locking you out of your email on a whim, but certainly doesn't help much with privacy.

Also, thanks for all your replies in this thread, about farming and otherwise. Some great posts!
> NaN itself is part of the IEEE 754 floating point standard. It behaves the way it does for a reason.

The reason is that it was a workaround for the limitations of 1980s hardware that has been mindlessly cargo-culted ever since. Silent NaN-propagation is a second billion dollar mistake and equally worth avoiding in new languages.
They're everywhere here in Thailand. You can buy a bag from a street vendor or find them in many supermarkets along with worms and other things we wouldn't consider eating in the West.

Wouldn’t the other risk be that after you’re dead and stop paying the data is deleted or inaccessible?
Maybe if you could prepay 100 years it’d work?
And that’s a valid position to take. However the tone of the article is extremely alarmist painting it as “this is the biggest problem ever” vs “this is an area of concern that I think requires immediate investigation”. The same line of FUD is used all the time with tech. See all the BS about 5G and even Berkeley’s general attempt to spread non-scientific FUD about RF. Now obviously this is a bit different because RF has far more research behind it and the lack of research here is the problem. All the appeals of “this causes cancer” is used to cloud the fact that the position taken in this opinion article is one of ignorance and encouraging decisions to be made as a result of said ignorance.

A valid position is one you’ve taken that the onus should be on the manufacturer to prove safety. However, it’s intentionally not the position of the government. Not just the US as I believe many/most/all countries err on the side of “it’s safe” without actually requiring evidence to that effect except for drugs and maybe some food production (such studies take a long time, are expensive, and often inconclusive).
When people talk about "using land productively", they aren't talking about a single person's profit. It's more of a "collective productivity".

You can only pass on so many costs before demand drops because the price you're asking just isn't feasible.

Non-resident landlords in SF, to my knowledge, aren't really anti-development. They recognize that 2x the number of units on the same parcel of land won't cut the per-unit rent in half, so higher density is still a better deal.

The problem, from the individual landlord's perspective, is that they can't redevelop their own land without triggering a tax reassessment, which can easily turn any profit into a loss, even after adjusting rent for the newly-developed property. The landlords who are making out like bandits right now are the ones who have owned their properties for decades. I wouldn't buy a duplex or a quad-plex in SF right now with the intention to rent it out; the cost of the property, plus 2020-assessed property taxes, would mean I'd barely break even at market rates (pre-pandemic market rates; current market rates might be a solid operating loss).

Large developers that are coming in and wanting to build apartment or condo complexes essentially have to build so-called "luxury units", because the economics won't work out otherwise, when you take into account high initial property taxes and the high, drawn-out cost of just building in SF.
I find it rather disturbing (if not just cringeworthy) especially when the classification is vague enough that almost everyone can be classified into more than 2 categories. I always have this feeling that if you classify yourself like "oh yeah I'm this kind of person" it'll harm you in one way or another. Yes sometimes these kinds of stuff could be fun and all, but still.

Maybe it's just meaningless to classify. Maybe it's just me, idk.
Hold on, someone wrote a general library for sex toys, of many different types, and named it after a specific type of sex toy? This seems unhelpful.
Bitcoin cash is the only cryptocurrency I have regularly used in the past 3-4 years. Almost all the crypto payment options support bch seamlessly (because they aim to integrate bitcoin which results in no-effort integration of bitcoin cash).

I just can never get myself to pay the tx fees of bitcoin or ether. I recently discover that USDT exists on bch (but BitPay doesn't accept bch usdt) so I keep USDT on BCH and do JIT swaps to BCH and make almost zero fee payments.

Just to be clear, BCH will never dethrone BTC, but BCH is becoming a defacto layer 2 solution for Bitcoin. Now there are tokens and NFT tokens on BCH too.
That might be what it actually does, but if they are marketing their product as "facial recognition", then that is not what they are claiming it does.
it's really buggy. off the top of my head:

-logs me out randomly every few months for no good reason

-the button for sending my data to my email didn't ever work

-sometimes i wouldn't be able to close the keyboard and keep using the app no matter which part of the screen i tried to touch, i had to close it and open it

-recently it forgot which plates i have and it's showing me something like 25 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.25 (=60) for a 60+60+20 lift, when it previously would show 25+20+15

-it once showed me a unparseable json error. probably the server was down or something. it would have been really cryptic for a non-programmer

Correct - they explicitly said BTC and ETH are not securities. However ETH's launch was conducted via ICO, where people sent BTC in return for ETH, and the exact same launch style was later declared de-facto illegal security sales with companies being penalized.

The SEC essentially caved to the crypto industry and said (paraphrasing) "Yes, ETH was launched as a security, but it became 'decentralized enough' where it is now a commodity". But gave no guidance on how any other coin could become "decentralized enough" to accomplish the same feat, to the detriment of the US crypto industry which has fallen way behind offshore entities.
It might have been mostly priced in already - I was reading some articles about possible delistings last week, and I consider myself a hobbyist, not a serious investor.

Static code optimization, particularly for the web. There’s a really great thing happening where more and more frontend work is embracing static site generation, while using tools more commonly used for client rendered content (eg react), but the frameworks then ship tons of JS duplicating the mostly static content of these sites, roughly doubling page size and at least doubling render times.

Easy to use, type safe, automatically validated/decoded/encoded/documented interface boundaries. There’s awesome tooling for this and nothing I’m aware of checks all those boxes, at least on platforms I develop on.

I’m considering experimenting with solutions for the former, and actively developing a solution for the latter for TypeScript/Node.

My Zenbook Pro didn't seem all that different to my 16" Macbook Pro which it clones.

The MacBook Pro has cooling issues, an awful keyboard and feels flimsy. The Zenbook had only a pseudo 4k display, a massive charger and a large bezel, although I believe that's gone on newer models.

I wouldn't call one premium and the other not. They were both kind of underwhelming.
Legit Bitcoin creates tax revenue so there is that too.
Without you giving a discount equal to their marginal tax rate, they would likely be both complicit in tax fraud and paying more after taxes.

I would hate your world of batteries-everywhere. I already loathe the fact that I need to constantly recharge my phone, my watch, my mouse, my kindle, my headphones, my camera, my doorbell, my torchlight, my tire inflator, my tv remote... some of these will be used so sparingly that the batteries might leak in the meantime, or they might just die, so now every time you want to use X you have to wait for the batteries to charge, from a few minutes to a few hours.

Personally, I'm more annoyed by the fact that electrical systems in buildings are still too hard to modify. As you say, you cannot really tweak much once the wall is done. In a day and age where electrical devices continue to multiply, it's sadistic to bang on about extender-cords being "fire hazards" while not providing alternatives. You don't want fire hazards? Give me a way to safely upgrade the energy distribution of my home that is as easy as plugging in an extender cord.
