This absolutely is a transfer of wealth up to the billionaire class. Money that would have been put into the hands of waiters, dishwashers, barbers, and bartenders is now being spent on Grubhub and Amazon.

The remedy for this is a transfer in the opposite direction - direct stimulus payments. There's a reason McConnell fought so hard against those.

Trust boundaries make most sense when used in a data flow diagram, where for every flow between processes you ask yourself: “what could go wrong here?”

That question deserves additional attention if these flows reach processes controlled by different people, or are running under different privileges. That’s when they cross a trust boundary.

So a db server with local storage: single trust boundary around db and storage. But! But! What about the kernel!?

At this point it becomes important ask to another question: does the current abstraction level of the model help you think better about risk? It depends. Perhaps not if the db is part of a larger infrastructure with a global CDN, loadbalancers, webservers and some in memory caching layer.
I don't really understand why you wouldn't just remove the image then. I get that you added it for its absurdity, but if many people take it as an endorsement, isn't it just a joke that didn't land? Personally I think it's a joke in poor taste, but even if you don't, it seems like such a weird hill to die on.

I don't think we can draw that conclusion.

Its the middle of the day with no cloud, so there is plenty of light. That means we can up the shutter speed to the point where rolling shutter is negligible.

I have a nikon d7000, which has a rolling shutter. Its only really noticeable when I'm recording video, or when there is _lots_ of movement inside the shutter time. at 1/3200th of second, thats a lot of movement.
>It's disgusting how such primitive people can still exist in our modern world.

What a snobbish and elitist thing to say. Try saying that to the Sentinelese or Amazonian tribes that still don't have contact with our messed up globalist world.

One of the reasons we are living in this chaotic time is because of a growing middle class elite living in metropolitan areas who are either unwilling or incapable of understanding people outside of their bubbles.
It isn't an either/or on Earth. Even the USDA thinks indoor/controlled vertical farming is key in the future [1]

For other planets, we will have to have vertical or underground farming and controlled conditions.

As more and more land on Earth gets used and population increases, climate changes, soil is more and more less fertile, the only way to meet that demand is indoor, up or down.

Even industries like marijuana, where hydroponics and farming is more indoors, much of that is indoors and can be vertical.

There are lots of innovations yet to be made that will make it more of a possibility and ultimately a necessity [2].

When it comes down to it, growing in controlled conditions is easier and less risky, growing outdoors is harder. Though it doesn't work for all right now, the areas it works for those elements are key.

Even growing a single plant indoors versus outdoors, so much less to think about in controlled conditions. Farmers can be wiped out with a flood, or an insect, all of those things are less risky indoors where possible.

It’s completely absurd that we should think he’s an ethical hero. A pauper that donates $5 has made more sacrifices.
He's still worth a shitload of money just by being him. His name, brand, network, intelligence, and the cache of knowing him are worth a lot of money. That's wealth that is inherent to him, thus can't really be given away, and could be tapped at anytime.

He could walk away from everything tomorrow, and be a millionaire the next day by just asking for money. He could probably be a billionaire again in a decade if he tried.

How do you know that's the reason and not that they legitimately wanted to have a vineyard? They don't tend to it and harvest from it? All the ones I've seen looked to be in use, but don't know for sure.
That's not quite "cash"
From the numbers ive seen (which could be off), you get like 250 watts per square meter of solar panels, but you need atleast 350-500 watts per square meter of the highest efficiency currently available grow LEDs. And that is assuming you grow them in a building with higher than natural air temperatures because "wasted" wavelengths aren't really wasted because plants need them to elevate leaf temperatures significantly higher than ambient temperatures. So it has heating costs also.

Also, the reason they grow lettuce for these tests and not more calorie dense or nutrient packed plants is because lettuce requires little light and little nutrients, most of its weight and volume is just water and air. Growing wheat or potatoes or other primary food crops requires a lot more light and a lot more nutrients than these demonstration crops.

That was my first thought. Inspired by hazy memories of some 20 year old episode of This American Life talking about (IIRC, which I probably don't) men's blood testosterone levels rising when they engage in aggressive behavior or take part in competitive activities.
For purchases like the one in the article, you can absolutely purchase with stock in lieu of cash. This happens all the time, and doesn't have nearly the impact on the share price that selling for cash on the exchange does.

How much cash you could get in a vault isn't really a useful measure of wealth since cash isn't the only object of value that you can exchange for goods and services (which you even pointed out in your comment by mentioning gold)
You can't shut down small businesses but allow major retailers to stay open, and expect things to be ok. Eventually businesses run out of cash, run out of loans, and they go bust leaving employees in the cold. Good thing they have that $600...

I joined it back in December, not realizing that it was essentially a platform for right wing extremist. I simply thought it was a less restrictive Twitter, based on the conversation I'd heard. After joining and opening the app, and without following anyone, I was immediately slammed with extremist right wing content and outright lies. I'm not one to defend Twitter/Facebook (both should be broken up into smaller companies), but my god...neither do anything close to what I saw with Parler.

I'm guessing at the specific knowledge some of these employees have is valued, and they probably wouldn't take kindly to having to study for a coding test just to keep their job.

I'm guessing they automatically hire some, and interview others who are maybe less core to the business. They can always layoff later if it doesn't end up being a fit.
I disagree, they should have purged Elsevier.
It's interesting to see the bifurcation between developers and software engineers continuing to deepen. Most developer jobs have been simplified, compared to pre-2000 development, that the knowledge conferred by a CS degree is indeed no longer required and knowledge of in vogue languages and frameworks is more immediately useful.

The rub is, of course, that creating those frameworks, language compilers, etc., still does require knowledge of CS. Knowing how to operate a car is not the same as knowing how to design and build one. As a person advances in their career, more and more deep knowledge is required and they may find themselves hitting a wall mid- to late in their career because they never acquired these fundamentals. And, unlike tools, these fundamentals are built on each other so that one has to acquire one before going on to the next; you can't just skim a book on compiler design without the prerequisite knowledge.

So, it's kind of a gamble that their career trajectory is going stay in the space where they never need that knowledge. It's not necessarily a bad gamble either since there are always going to be such jobs but the risk should be understood by anyone intending to follow the poster's advice.
Laws can, do and need to change as technology changes the political reality. No one elected twitter. Building a pretty website should not give a private entity the power to control political speech.
> Is it possible for the cause-and-effect to be backwards? A change in socially acceptable behavior causing the testosterone drop?

How exactly do you propose that a change in socially acceptable behavior in the span of about 40 years had a tangible effect on hormone levels? It's not like someone can say "oh getting into fistfights isn't cool anymore, better reduce my testosterone levels". Maybe if we were talking about a timespan an order of magnitude or two longer then sexual selection (high testosterone and more violent men being less favored as mates) could come into play, but again for a time span of 40-50 years that's just not feasible. Also, socially acceptable or not, violent and aggressive men typically don't have problems finding sexual partners; Ted Bundy, the notorious serial killer and rapist, was known to receive many love-letters in prison, even after the details of his crimes (exclusively against women and girls) were made public and he was able to marry and conceive a child while incarcerated.
I'm not sure if you were the one butchering the quote, the author butchered it or if the author wrote it wrong on purpose. Laid out like in your comment, there isn't anything wrong with the line. "our" could refer to humanity.

For reference, the famous quote that is VERY similar is "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children". Notice the missing "white" from rchauds quote.

Again, not sure if on purpose, or who butchered it, but it might not mean what you think it does.

Everyone cheered Twitter when they started taking down accounts, sure that it would never affect them. Everyone ignored the warnings that it is a very slippery slope.

I'm a similar age. Do school fights still happen? Circa 12-15 years old, these were a normal part of being a boy. There was even a spot outside the school where boys waited for other boys they wanted to fight. Several boys would be there on any given day. There were enough fights that everyone knew where everyone stood in the "rankings." Who you could beat and who you couldn't... says a lot considering how fast kids grow at that age.

I didn't go to a very violent school, and fights got rarer as age made them more serious. My parents also treated it as normal. They didn't encourage it, but it wasn't a major outrage. Schools too. A note to parents or somesuch minor penalty was the usual recourse.

> Pathfinder 1st edition was a direct successor (near-clone, even) of D&D 3

Without going back and checking, wasn't PF a fork of the open core of D&D/3.5e?

> Perhaps more, because D&D 5 was in some ways (though not all) an explicit attempt to go back to earlier, less complex editions of D&D.

D&D/4e and 5e are pretty clearly the most simple versions outside of the simplified versions after OD&D and in parallel with AD&D (B/X, BECMI, Black Box, Rules Cyclopedia), and in many ways both newer versions are simpler so long as you only consider similar similar scope, though they have broader (but not a superset, because neither has domain management or divine ascension as a first-party subsystem, while BECMI has both and the Cyclopedia retains BECMI’s coverage of the former) scope.

5e seemed to be more an effort to restore flavor elements many perceived as lost from the very complex AD&D/1e through D&D/3e than to revert to simplicity lost (since the opposite was true) in 4e.

Ooo, I'd also mention that there often isn't a need for a lib. For example, as outlined in The Little Ecto Cookbook, it's trivial to build a small fixtures framework—the API is two one-liner functions! Sure, it's missing a few things, but I've been using it on my own project and have not missed anything provided by dedicated fixtures lib.

Can you please just remove the image? The context is obscure and long gone, and I doubt there is any way for an outsider to see it as anything other than a hateful meme targeted at ruby, given the context of the rest of the memes on that page.

Edit to respond to your edit: please can you commit to removing or changing anything else in your documentation that confuses or angers people? I think you have an understanding that having good quality, accessible documentation is important. So why not commit to having that? It's entirely what documentation writers are supposed to do. It doesn't have to be a full time job unless someone wants it to be, you can do the process of improving things slowly, one step at a time with everyone chipping in. Do you really want things to stop here where some of your documentation pages look like a twitter feed?

And I say this because I think it's somewhat of an inevitability -- over time, someone has to remove the memes and in-jokes. There is no way a newcomer is ever going to understand what they all mean. Yes people can look in archive.org but that's less important than what's actively on the website.
musl is also sometimes much slower than glib, for example with some scripting languages. Even when your workload is compatible it's usually a good idea to use another distro in your docker container.

I also think Kpop's influence is also exaggerated but I won't argue against it's popularity amongst the young female/some male crowd.

It's like when a Kpop/Kdrama fan approaches me expecting me to know all of the pop culture when in my experience most Koreans simply consider BTS to be like Justin Bieber.

Imagine if people from Japan starts asking you if you watch Justin Bieber sing and then getting offended when you speak the truth. This is exactly what people in Korea and Japan are going through but you will almost never see them express it but its getting extreme in some situations like below:

https://www.reddit.com/r/korea/comments/gxa6qr/this_girl_mak...

Here you can see her physically harassing Korean men by hugging them or trying to kiss them. It's getting to the point where Western women are fetishizing Korean men similar to how Asian women are often fetishized by foreigners (not through popular culture but mainly through pornography).

It's a fair point. There are 12 million square miles of arable land on Earth, so the Gates only own about 0.00315% of that, whereas they own around 0.036% of the planet's wealth.
You might be asking yourself "Why do billionaires own farm land?"

The answer is REAL simple. Taxes. Farmers get HUGE tax benefits that end up being particularly beneficial to the wealthy. Losses on farms translates into gigantic tax savings for billionaires.

How do I know this? My small family farm of 40 acres had major benefits to my fairly wealthy parents. There were many years they didn't pay taxes as a result of the farm.
Marijuana farming indoors/vertical will probably be the crop that pushes innovation in this area and most is grown indoors at minimum.

Over time, controlled conditions will be a necessity. Right now the cost is still cheaper for most on land, that will change, especially if we move to new planets but definitely if we don't due to population.

Necessity will fuel the innovation here and solar/light innovation will be a big future industry.

Writing off vertical/indoor farming is like writing off other fuel choices or EVs, until it happens everyone said it was impossible but necessity changes the impossible mainly due to changes in cost/investment and returns, as well as new technologies made possible over time.

Lots of examples of successes already besides in marijuana. Essentially just green houses that can be stacked like modular farming.
