Those inflation figures, much like unemployment figures, are not really representative. If you take a basket of good that includes consumer discretion items like cheap tech gadgets, subscription music, staple foods, then these “balance out” the much worse inflation in housing, college costs and medical care, things which have a much higher quality of life impact.

I’n not making any claim on how this dichotomy relates to cryptocurrency speculation, but I do think in general nobody should be using CPI-based figures or traditional BLS figures at all, and anyone seriously talking about US inflation needs to be starting from the given baseline fact that “real” inflation (ie, excluding discretionary consumer toys, subscription services, staple foods) is much higher than 2%, and has been for a long time.
> And no, I don't want to hear about any figures for self-contained builds.

Then what is your point? When talking about the size required for a program to run, you have to weigh all of its dependencies.

For anyone interested, such a binary ends up at least 50MB, if we include the dependencies mentioned in the article in question.
As I tend to go for the long game and expect to use it for years, I went for the lifetime (in my case it'll pay off itself within about 3 years), I was using Google Cloud storage buckets for longer than that so you know - financially for me, it works to replace the monthly fees for Google Cloud which was already a concrete cost. These types of pricing agreements are usually not sustainable for a company long-term, I go into the agreement with eyes open and I've got rclone ready to move the data again if I have to migrate.

My actual expectation is that at some point, 500G will be "small" in provider terms and they'll offer upsells to 1TB, 2TB etc. over the life of my account trying to get me to the next level or some other features (which they already have - you can buy add-ons). Nothing wrong with that, I still get my portable 500G "for life" (of the Product) which suits my current space needs. I have enough portable space now that I can upload a hundred gigs of Music, something I wasn't able to do before (increased cost) and use that 500G space. (I had uploaded everything to Google Music over a decade...so... yeah)

(edit: typos, wrong word/replaced)
I guess they've realised that "10% thinner" isn't the killer feature consumers are after, and people prefer their devices are functional.

>How can this 'abstract Python machine' even be implemented?

It wouldn't be - the machine is abstract. It exists only in terms of a mathematical model, that describes how Python code behaves in a defined mathematical way (its semantics). The real implementations of Python should have the same behaviour as the abstract machine, but the property of Turing-completeness really only exists for the abstract version - the real versions, being bounded in memory, are limited to certain sizes of programs.
Don't tease me.
A good read if you are interested in the topic. I do take exception with the constant tonal use of absolutes which seem to be trying to lead the reader to a false conclusion based on that false fear.

If the president (Biden or Trump) ordered a first strike nuke against Toronto or London there is a 0% chance it would happen. I personally doubt that an order against Moscow or Pyongyang would be followed either, but I wouldn’t argue with someone who wanted to take a position that those first strike orders would be followed.

My point is just that there is obvious a lot more...”human nuance” in the situation that the author is describing.

A "true UFO", as stated in my previous comment, is a report that survives...

...all this process, and remains unexplained. That boring process of trying to explain it is what I called "filtering".

If you're having issues with battery when you're not plugged in, I can highly recommend Turbo Boost Switcher (http://tbswitcher.rugarciap.com/) to disable Intel turbo boost. I've noticed no slowdown or performance decrease, but my fans spin up MUCH less often and my battery lasts a couple hours more.

I suppose it goes to show just how badly Intel has screwed up in recent years -- so much development went into this "Turbo Boost" feature that heats up processors hugely under any sustained workload in a way that no laptop can properly keep up with. In certain cases it could make sense ("my project takes 20 seconds to compile, and then the processor basically shuts off") but I routinely end up pegging the CPU at max for 10s of minutes at a time for huge compilations, and the minute the fans spin up I know that Turbo Boost is about to thermal throttle my CPU into oblivion.
Family and friends have starting using it as the main messaging app the past 3 months. Definitely growing.

Feds: Capitol mob aimed to ‘assassinate’ elected officials
Well, I'm not sure about Bitcoin but in general cryptocurrency has a purpose. I know I'm naive in this regard but only recent events with private companies banning people from communication channels in some way opened my eyes.

If you look closely there is no way to send or receive digital payment without using a private company service, which in turn can terminate it's services for you for arbitrary reasons, other people will just shrug and say it's a private company.

Physical currency right now has unique abilities not mirrored by any digital equivalent and allows one to survive and exchange money p2p even if ones name will be blacklisted by private companies for some reason. Yes, probability of this kind of event could be incredibly low but it's still there and I believe that it can increase with various attempts to build "credit score" systems.
I got out of BTC-E shortly before they shut down. Gambled my gains on stocks and lost. Oops
> that codes for nothing that will kill you and primes your immune system

Just because people apparently aren't immediately dying doesn't mean the mRNA vaccine can't introduce some unapparent immune system pathology.

It seems like the vaccine is good, but I also don't need it as a younger person with a healthy immune system. I'd rather wait to see evidence of long-term safety...which doesn't happen until a vaccine is studied in many people who've taken it and observed after years.
Hacking the startup job search at its finest.

As someone whose inbox has been on the receiving end of some funding announcements recently, this crunchbase method is definitely used more outside of job searching: recruiters, sales folks, etc, all love to jump on a funding announcement.

I'm not sure how you're defining "sexual attraction" here. If women want to sleep with you, you're sexually attractive. Women line up by the thousands to sleep with famous musical artists, and it ain't because they're chiseled Adonises.

This is something that has recently made me pessimistic about the modern internet: not only has the organic blogging community of the early millennium dwindled, but what blogs exist now are often created as intentional copies of other blogs so they draw advertising revenue. You often see jobs posted on sites like Upwork where the client wants to hire someone to examine a preexisting blog and then re-write its content in order to escape copyright law.

Recipe blogs are probably the most egregious example of this content theft (the blog owner who claims to be “born and bred in Louisiana and passionate about Cajun food” makes grammatical mistakes suggesting an Eastern European or Southeast Asia origin), but it is now spreading to all kinds of other hobbies and interests. If you are an original writer about a subject with no advertising on your site, it sucks to see you and your peers’ content buried in search results among the copycat websites.

And now the same commercial pressures to simply copy someone else’s reportage are now commonly seen in news businesses that were hitherto thought to be respectable. Is it inevitable on the modern web that all original content will end up copied by others?

An interesting thing is that lately authorities not only request logging of IP addresses, but also the port which initiated the connection.

For some time I thought that this was ridiculous, but then it turns out that if you use a VPN or a DS-Lite-Gateway, the port will allow you to be identified.

Edit: I'm using this edit as a reply to the follow-up question, since I can't reply to it directly. While you are right that a specific domain can't be censored, the provider can be instructed to log requests for that domain name and provide the timestamp/IP/port to the authorities, as well as answer to the client with modified data.

Maybe Rodriguez’s story is similar to Cody’s. He was alone in a vast, unfamiliar city. He’d destroyed his relationships. He left his apartment in anger. And then, as he traversed the mountains, walking through sugar maple and oak, hickory and poplar, stepping over roots and rocks, he tamed his demons too. The many people who met him didn’t sense the dark, brooding, sometimes dangerous person who left Brooklyn.

People who decide to commit suicide sometimes appear to others to be feeling a lot better in the time between the decision and the final act. It can look externally like an upswing, like they've gained a new perspective and things aren't weighing on them as heavily. It sounds like he was conscious that his behavior was bad for other people, and he didn't believe he could change. That's a terrible position to be in: to feel you can't fully function in the presence of others but to feel their absence keenly as well, to be incapable of being with others without hurting them, but also incapable of being alone. I can't imagine how bad it would have to be to starve yourself to death, but I can't help wondering if that's what he did.
And it's a total lame, bad assembly code. Lacks any kind of material knowledge or practice.

And in turn pollution might decrease, frivolous consumer waste might decrease, frivolous ad waste might decrease, people might turn to crafting and making their own home goods, and feel more pride and accomplishment, and the standard of return on investment to actually draw cash out of the mattresses would be higher, rather than building in a mechanism that stresses people into giving their cash over for hollow waste, and entrenching false “market demand” narratives around the whole destructive charade.
This is essentially my childhood best friend. If you looked at his FB, you'd see a giant list of Catholic posting as if he has no other part to his identity.

Diligent is definitely the keyword.
I just spent a week getting an Ethernet adapter for my 13" MBP.

It hit me -- hey, solve this latency issue by using wired ethernet. Then I remembered, HEY, I already HAVE an adapter. Chained my apple-multi-port-adapter to my apple usb-to-ethernet adapter. Wait, why are things worse than WiFi? Oh, right, USB type A, probably USB2.0 or whatever. Limited to 93Mbps.

Go to apple store online, order Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter. I've made the mistake of buying a USB-C dock instead of a Thunderbolt dock, won't make that mistake again!

It arrives, it's Thunderbolt 2 so it can't plug into my machine.

Order another one, this time USB-C.
If they ever did support federation I think it would make sense to have it include some level of coordinated service level agreements and vouching to avoid people signing up for random servers that someone then pulls the plug on. Also considering the trust you would need to extend to each server you use in terms of security updates, privacy and additional potential for MITM attacks. But given Moxie's lack of enthusiasm I doubt it'll be happening anytime soon.
These are anti-monopolistic practices by Google and should be illegal.
I think introverts have a tendency to shut down when relationships get too involved and outside of their comfort zone. Shallow acquaintances are usually just to make an impression and there are no pre-conceived notions so it's easier to be more comfortable having a quick interaction with someone you'll never see again. Maybe because it feels fresh and there isn't any baggage.

I didn't particularly like the ex-girlfriends responses regarding him because I think speaking ill of the dead is lame when they aren't there to give their side of the story. Also, it sounded like she has issues of her own - which for someone who is already suffering with mental illness, trying to care for another person who also has mental illness is just a fool's errand. But often time these sort of relationships happen where there is so much negativity but due to illness both parties continue with it despite that.

Yes. This is not an automated process, the president can't just hit a button to launch. While the generals have to obey the rules - they still can just say "no" if there is no logical explanation for the strike.
Adding more safeguards could slow down the response in case of an actual attack and could do more harm than good.

> this is not a bad thing

It is in a sense because it has zero intrinsic value. I'm not a fan of gold because you can't do anything with it, but at least people have valued it for millennia. If tomorrow, the world goes mad and decides that AAPL isn't worth anything and I can buy all the shares for a trivially small price, it's still a company with billions in assets making billions per year. If people wake up tomorrow and realize bitcoin is a slightly less useful version of a first edition Charizard, you're kinda out of luck.

Oh, and it might have systemic security issues that haven't surfaced yet. As it becomes a bigger and bigger target, people might throw more resources at rewriting transactions and DDOSing miners.
Pong from Pixels (2016)
Yes, bad things can still happen. What I'm trying to say is bad things used to happen, too, quite frequently and on very simple systems, and that his points about gradually diminishing robustness and productivity are easy to refute. I'm of the opinion that computers today - despite layers of abstraction and growing complexity - are more robust and lets us be more productive than ever.

Abstraction fosters ignorance and complexity is fragile, I agree with him on those points. But I also think he makes very sweeping, erroneous statements about software and development.
Study the life of Jesus and it'll make more sense. Working with them is great.
Agreed.

Its the idea that the more you learn about people and have to be around them, you start to judge them and then realize they aren't like you, so you push them away and crater relationships on purpose so you can be alone and unencumbered by other people's problems. It sounds to me like he did just that. Easier to have short-term relationships and human contact when you need it, but not long enough where you start to get bitter about having to continue being around people you don't like.

He created a world that seemed to fit his personality better than what he had been doing most of his life. It must have been beneficial in some way if he continued doing it for so long.

I wouldn't count on military commanders employing "human nuance" within 30 seconds of receiving a direct presidential order. On the contrary, it's pretty amazing that with 2, 3, 4 or more nations on a nuclear hair trigger for multiple decades that the systems of deterrence and avoidance have so far been successful.
One of my first jobs in programming, and my first job in private industry after a few years working in academia, was at a newspaper that wanted a login for their website available to any delivery subscribers. Behind the paywall were bonus features for them.

All they really needed to register their subscribers for the login was the subscriber code from the bill. But marketing (it was marketing that started the website, not editorial) came up with a 3-page questionnaire about background, interests, and preferences that would-be users were supposed to go through to register. Granted many of the questions were optional, no answer was required, but unsurprisingly they didn't get a lot of signups. And it wasn't like the users were going to get charged more, login access was free to anyone with a subscription.
Paying developers outside the DRC? I’d imagine that most who wanted to help would prefer something more direct.
Why? Buying a house or car through debt is not a bad way to match your payment stream to the usable lifetime of the asset.

Even if you can pay cash, unless you have a huge cushion this could make a lot of sense (taking your savings to 0 is worse than taking your savings to n months of cost of living, including the loan payments).

I am lucky enough to be a cash buyer but I can still see the logic of using debt in this way.
> to be the most excellent person of that nationality

I don't think that's even a thing.
Very important caveats from the paper review at https://mikhail.io/2020/03/infinicache-distributed-cache-on-...:

> Mind that the workload was selected to be a good match for InfiniCache properties (large objects with infrequent access).

> The hourly cost increases monotonically with the access rate, and eventually overshoots ElastiCache when the access rate exceeds 312 K requests per hour (86 requests per second).

So this is not a replacement for the most common use cases for Elasticache. It is interesting as a cache in front of S3, but if you want a cache in front of S3...just use Cloudfront?

Honestly if I was AWS I would be ecstatic if people used this, AWS probably breaks even or maybe loses a little bit on optimal usage of this, and makes an absolute killing if someone using this has a traffic spike and ends up hitting their lambda millions of times.
I would imagine that someone inclined to live in the bushes by themselves would be interested in/wanting to build their shelter themselves, or at least use something that has natural origin.
