If you read Satoshi's original Bitcoin paper, it's very clear that it's supposed to be "cash" (a medium of exchange). All this "store of value" stuff came about afterwards, when people needed a justification for the valuation of something that has become eminently unsuited to actual usage.

> I believe with every fiber of my being that simple drug dealing is a victimless crime.

Quick, ugly counterexample:

Date rape drugs.

You can of course say that the crime is on whoever uses it but criminal neglect is a thing.

Somewhat more nuanced example:

Vulnerable people are still given highly addictive drugs as "marketing" from dealers.

This isn't something all of those victims have chosen, so I'd say it isn't victimless.

That said I agree that there's a fair chance that legalizing many drugs would bring large benefits to society.
Do you mean the flag industry? Because old iterations of the flag don't become obsolete, they remain just as official as ever. You wouldn't need to buy a new one if you didn't want to.

"According to the U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry, the United States flag never becomes obsolete. Any approved American flag may continue to be used and displayed until no longer serviceable." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States#Poss...)
jQuery is fantastic. I am not a web programmer by trade, but I can always get busy with jQuery and just a couple of Google searches.

Last weekend I was trying to find new car dealerships in my region that carried a particular model of car that I'm interested in. They had a dealer search page that could return all dealerships within 250 miles, and they had an inventory search page that had hardcoded the 3 nearest dealership IDs into the URL. But they had no GUI to search all the cars for all the dealers in my region.

I poked around at the elements on the dealership search page, cobbled together a jQuery one-liner to dump all the dealership IDs in my region, and pasted those into the URL to finally see every individual car in my region of the model I wanted. The page took quite a while to load, so probably have have some DoS vulnerabilities to deal with, but at least I was happy.

Vanilla javascript would have been so much more cumbersome!

Maybe an unpopular opinion: I don't want this. I don't want any of this.

Don't block my windshield with your "helpful" alerts. I don't care, I can drive without them, that's how I (and millions of others) learned to drive.

I want a physical key.

I want the engine not to cut off when I'm stopped at a traffic light or stop sign.

I don't want more cameras, whether facing the occupants, or facing the road.

Cars are already "good enough", and have been for years. Why do we need to keep adding software and other janky "features" that create more failure points and more expensive repairs?

It's amazing that something so incomprehensible (3x10^8 m/s) can actually be experienced.

Because I like them and I'll pay more for the car than you will. And there are more people like me.
> Being virtuous was "being a virtuous citizen"; no matter if you were a slave or an Emperor. If anything they tried to teach you not to care about the conditions you were in (rich, poor, young, old...) and focus on the outcomes only.

But stoicism tells you to focus on this "virtuousness" in defiance of the actual outcomes: it tells you you shouldn't care whether other people acknowledge you as virtuous or not, or whether you succeeded or failed in a contest, as long as you acted rightly. I think this is actually a contradiction, because you can't decide which actions are virtuous through pure reason without regard to their outcomes; or even if you could, how would you ever know whether your reasoning was correct or not?
There isn't a very strong argument, then.

My idea would be to optimise the spacing of the stars by using circle packing algorithms. Find the largest radius for which you can fit 51 circles in the rectangle, and then center the stars in the circles. That guarantees that the stars are well spaced.

To me, Leviathan’s war-of-all-against-all fable is a metaphor for the practical reality of competing political interests. Taking it literally isn’t Hobbes’ point.

Hobbes’ point is that the sole job of the sovereign is to keep the peace and that is the only criterion for judging it. As personal political practice this is hard and that hardness — the hardness of not judging the sovereign by “what is in it for me” — is what makes Leviathan philosophy. What gives it heft is what we do today not whichever explanatory fiction or “farcical aquatic ceremonies” we believe brought us here.

Moreover Hobbes sets a clear moral criterion for voiding individual obligation to the sovereign...being led to the gallows. The social contract does not obligate our lives to the sovereign. This is still a radical departure from ordinary practice. The individual is not morally bound to accept the sovereign’s punishments even if those punishments are how the sovereign must keep the peace.
My brain read this in a Gilfoyle voice.
Sounds good (especially the performance) but ...

What is the new paradigm and how does it differ from the existing paradigms?

And what do you mean by "no way to do effective comparison of runs by hyperparams or other metadata on the tensorboard or MLFlow"? If you mean "you can't compare or sort a list of runs by hyperparameter or minimum loss or whatever" then MLFlow can certainly do that, so I think I'm misunderstanding.

Any comments on Losswise or W&B?

And do you have a plan for monetization or governance?

Sorry for all the questions! I have complaints about all the existing solutions, so I'm excited to see a new effort.

I really hope they find you, prosecute you, and you never work in software again. Thanks for ruining a company for the countless others who were staying there, regardless of your experience, because they believed in what they were doing, and working towards their own personal goals. I don't know the details, but I know if someone did that to a company that I was invested in, I would be devastated.

Please go away, never to return. Go be a bartender or some other profession where being an asshole will get you ahead. Leave software to people who still care about ethics and have empathy for customers and coworkers.
This is just a PSA for those comparing financial (in)equality between Europe and the USA: income inequality is different from wealth equality. Income inequality might be lower in Europe but apparently wealth inequality is relatively high.

This video gives a good explanation about their difference: https://youtu.be/Ot4qdCs54ZE
No? How could you possibly get that from what I said? Quite the opposite. I'm saying that they (developers in Europe) should be able to be paid the same as developers in the USA.
Yes I agree. Jim Keller was the canary in the coal mine. When he left without finishing his assignment, after a decades long reputation for excellence at multiple companies, that was a clear signal to sell your Intel stock. Intel could be the new Northern Telecom (though I felt the same way about Microsoft ten years ago and ... it didn't turn out as expected)
Sorry to bring this up but I think Antifa should display the US flag like the right-wing Trump folks to show that its as much as their country as its for Trump supporters. This is one of the arguments made by Trump supporters how unpatriotic BLM/Antifa movement is. Why not embrace the flag and create discord? It's like taking away one of their key branding tools.

If you think about the US flag as a brand, its tarnished by the "patriots". I'd love to see a counter movement to this. It's not just US, but extreme right wing movements in Germany, France, UK - all embrace the flag. Thoughts?
When I coached a programming team, I once had them algorithmically solve this problem for a N-star flag. The constraints were to find all possible combinations where the rows alternated in length by 1. It ended up being a great teaching experience because it was really easy for the students to visualize it and play around with the problem on the whiteboard. It's also a really easy problem to solve without code so the students can easily verify their code and gain confidence.

> it's hard to break out of the spiral

Don't ever doubt that, it's incredibly hard. But it's something that deserves the hard work it takes to get out of it, I think. I've been realizing a lot of these kinds of challenges in life demand a lot from us, and it can be so daunting, but the reward of taking on that challenge is really immense. Imagine learning to get out of the spiral early - that one day you can just say no and focus on better things. You absolutely could, I bet.

> What you wrote helped me out. Thanks.

Thanks for saying so, that really makes my day.

I've had a similar experience and something that caught me by surprise was this technique called fear setting. I thought it was the cheesiest nonsense ever, but through some turn of events I ended up trying it. I applied it to a problem like what you're describing one day and ended up just writing, in the plainest, simplest, most honest terms why I fell into so much resentment. I'm sure it's different for both of us, but the experience was a revelation. Not all negative emotions are driven by fear, but the resentment certainly was in my case. So I wrote out why, what it does to me, what I can do to address that.

The key discovery was a sort of nested fear. It was like the immediate issue wasn't the real fear, or the thing driving my resentment. This should have been obvious I guess, because the superficial problems never justified the amount of resentment. No, ultimately I was afraid of addressing the superficial problem; the broad implications, the confrontation, the unknowns. I kept those tucked away so well and used that resentment to distract and convince myself that the REAL problem was the superficial once. It was really bizarre to realize that once I stopped to dig, the real fear and discomfort was right under the surface all along. Out of sight and out of mind, I guess.

Writing it out felt really stupid the first time. Like, I must know all of this already - why do I need to write it down? It's sort of like rubber ducking a problem though. You put it out there in plain sight and just go "OH... Oh.", and there it is. Now what do you do with it?

This would be interesting in busy environments or when the driver is less alert. Humans can only track about 4 objects at best (unless you are really lucky and can do 5) so instead of not seeing an incoming pedestrian or cyclist a big bright orange label would be way better since something else has already done the filtering for you.

Good point. There's still an order of magnitude or two between those options.

Also the alcohol is mostly consumed voluntarily unlike date rape drugs that are almost only consumed involuntarily.

More likely 52 however with DC and Puerto Rico. Nice article - I like the arrangement. I would assume no one would be interested in a less traditional arrangement much like no one is interested in more colorful currency.
if you're dealing drugs on a black market you're not paying taxes, you may be selling drugs to children, which is definitely not a victimless crime, and you're likely facilitate all other sorts of crime and money laundering.

Not to mention that some drugs are so addictive and destructive that jurisdictions have good reason to stop their distribution.
If DC becomes a state, flying a 50-star flag will definitely become a political statement. It won't be seen as a "correct" flag.
Without getting into detailed arguments have a look into the opium wars (basically the UK forcing China to keep accepting opium imports) and the effects opium had on Chinese society. Super interesting and a case in point about how drugs - much less addictive compared to modern standards - when used at scale and widely available can destroy the fabric of society.

There is no country where drugs are legal, just some where drugs are not criminalised and I think that's a sane approach (Portugal as prime example). But to have wide and legal sale of drugs would probably destroy society.
So, Bitcoin is a fiat currency. Not government-controled*, but still fiat (despite some Bitcoin evangelists preaching "Bitcoin is not a fiat currency!")

Now, Tether seems to be also a fiat currency not because it is backed by another fiat currency (US Dollars, but even then Tether will still be technically a pegged fiat currency) but because of the fait that it is backed by US Dollars.

Sounds about right. /s

> The primary vehicle of canonization in Malcolm’s case has been The Autobiography of Malcolm X

I wish this were true. Yes the autobiography is really influential, but for a lot of people (esp older generation) Malcolm is still defined by his nation of Islam days, his "angry" days, which make it easy to put him in some sort of "angry black man" box... His later thinking is much different, and the autobiography does reflect that (though it looks like there was more that was left out).

RIP Malcolm. A man willing to fight for what's right, willing to speak up, willing to evolve his thinking over time. Not many modern leaders are willing to take such risks.

And he was such a brilliant speaker. He is missed.

For me, it’s primarily because this device has stood still while faster, cheaper, more powerful devices with lower power consumption and more fully open-source firmwares have entered the marketplace.

The WRT54GL doesn’t have a fully open firmware—the WiFi remains closed—and has so little RAM and flash that OpenWRT, that started with the WRT54G, no longer supports it. DD-WRT is creeping in the same direction.

IPv6 support is more off than on. It’s never going to support DoT, WPA3, or other modern security measures. Most of the world is urbanized, and in an urban setting it’s a bit rude to use 54 Mbps 802.11g on the 2.4 GHz channels.

If you’re using it for an internal network on a farm, it’s fine, but if you’re in today’s world then you need to support today’s protocols.

This is abhorrent.
What isn't? Volatile market value, risks of breakdowns and fires and previously undiscovered structural flaws, fires, natural distasters, etc. It's putting a lot of your eggs in one basket, which in investment terms is same as foregoing diversification, ie taking on a lot of risk for no corresponding increase in returns. Depending on jurisdiction, risk of unfair treatment in a divorce. High transaction costs when changing housing due to changing life circumstances. And to top it off you are binding the important service of having a roof over your head to the fate of this investment.
I don't work at a FAANG. Not even close. I've been working remotely for most of the last year (just like everyone else), so I do about 4-5 hours of work in the morning and then spend the rest of the day remodeling the house. But even when I worked at the office, I would roll in around 10am. I'd go work out at one of the campus fitness facilities from 1-3 (15 minutes to walk there, 5 to change, 1 hour to work out, 10 minutes in the sauna, 10 minutes to shower and change, 15 minute walk back), and then head home at 5. And I always get exceptional year end reviews because I always get my work done in a timely manner.
It's not insane - it's pretty common in most developed countries. The US is a major outlier.
Thus the requirement for the VPN to be trustworthy.

What that means changes on the threat model, but for this scenario we'll say a hypothetical VPN provider in a different jurisdiction that takes Monero and has good OpSec.

The reason they can do the deanonymization attack on the Tor circuit is that they have basically unlimited resources to set up nodes, and Tor is built on the assumption that the nodes are all unrelated.

If a Tor session looks like:

User -> VPN -> Tor( A -> B -> C ) -> Market

then the government could have the advantage of owning both A and B, or any other combination. That is difficult (though not impossible) to do to a VPN that they do not have jurisdiction over.

Anyone can set up a Tor node, but it's not possible to just randomly add nodes to a VPN's network, so they shouldn't be vulnerable to that (barring insecurity in other forms).
