Hard agree. I started doing this with two or three close friends a few years ago, and started ramping it up to more friends some time last year.

Not everyone is willing to commit to monthly, but it's not as awkward as you might think. You could do one or two manually scheduled, and then after the meeting say "hey, want to make this a recurring get-together every [second thursday]?"

Pro-tip: you may have better luck arranging a hangout time immediately after the end of the workday (depending on the geography between you and them), with you both parting ways to eat a late supper afterwards. In my experience folks are more willing to commit to that schedule rather than give up their evening to meet up after supper.
> I get the impression that electric motors are hard on transmissions.

Rather, electric motors don't need transmissions. Transmissions are a workaround for the failings of the internal combustion engine.
that's why functions in any public policy should be continuous to remove obvious points of stress and leverage used for gaming the system. federal income tax is this way, even as the derivative function, tax rate, is discontinous (bracketed).
Scheduling absolutely, with calendar/phone in hand and setting a time. My foreign friends in university laughed at this a lot, especially those from Eastern Europe and Greece. They would at most schedule to meet "next weekend" for beers not "Saturday at 15:30" like we Dutchies would write down and then all arrive exactly at or just before 15:30. They often agreed and then showed up an hour late claiming Romanian time :-) we got used to it quickly but still both sides made fun of it.

But I know very few people that set "formal" recurring meetings for just coffee or lunch like the author is suggesting.

Things around some kind of activity like tennis every Tuesday evening, or grandma babysits every Wednesday of course are very common. But not like the author of this post describes purely social things that are set so recurring.
I agree that it's technically feasible but that's not going to help me right now. It would require all services use the same encryption (or at least understand a common, compatible one) and I don't see that happening, ever.
There was a time when janitors were employees. They're not INDEPENDENT contractors, but they're still filling a much shittier niche than in decades prior. Mostly we just need labor protection laws in general and non-employer provided health care I'd say.
>and others are unrelated to software at all.

Your example is software.

It is a "screensaver", a program that displays something other than a static image on the screen when the computer is idle (which prevented CRT burn-in).

Those used to be popular back in the day, and long after few people had CRTs around.

So, it’s been a while, and it still hasn’t been taken down, and I fully acknowledge that. However, I would also say that the account has two posts and one follower, so the reach of this post isn’t very wide.

Nonetheless, you have a point, and despite both of us reporting it, it’s still up, and shouldn’t be. In any case, that doesn’t change my point about parler, however, AWS or whoever would be well within their rights to cite this as a mark against Twitter too.

(I work at AWS, but this is just for fun)

Checking out AWS side, the closest I think you'd get is the x1.32xlarge, which would translate to 128 vCPU (which on intel generally means 64 physical cores) and close to 2TB of RAM. nvme storage is only a paltry 4TB, so you'd have to make up the rest with EBS volumes. You'd also get a lower clock speed than they are getting out of the EPICs

A lot of free market advocates sure seem bent out of shape when the free market works against them for once. Amazon shouldn't be required to host violent hate speech and I don't understand how someone can believe in "the free market" and argue otherwise.
It didn't take 11 months for the FDA to give the OK. It took 11 months to design a vaccine from scratch, conduct phase I safety trials, phase 2 human safety and dosage trials, and a phase 3 trial to determine efficacy.

The standards for the phase 1-3 trials are largely set by the FDA. Further, the whole idea that I can't weigh my own risks, and sign a paper saying "I acknowledge that this treatment is not fully tested, and choose to take my chances" is driven by the FDA. So yes, the time span before the public had access was driven by the FDA.
I could just go back to using IMAP (which I did for 20+ years), but for me the whole point of switching to Fastmail was to have a good webmail that's not tied to Google.

I'm sure they'll fix the Safari bug eventually, I'm not worried about that. It's just an illuminating example of how difficult it is to create high-performance web apps that actually work in more than one browser.

You can also send with a wildcard - the big desktop email clients, as well as the FastMail web interface, as well as FairEmail on Android all let you type something for the part before the @, so you can send from anything@yourdomain.com.

The connection with the very niche bmoney, the conspicuous absence of adam the years before and after bitcoin's release, his move to a tax haven, his creation of hashcash which is very similar to bitcoin, his deep knowledge of bitcoin's source code without having ever contributed to it with his bitcointalk posts, his writing style, and not many other people that would be able to pull it off...

Also even if he didn't create it, why did he never contribute to or interacted with the project? Why did he create a company that would make something he always wanted to create unusable? He even put this on his wikipedia page in 2007: "He has an interest in privacy technology, electronic cash (of the payer and payee anonymous type)..." and yet he is completely absent from bitcoin from 2009-2013 and sets up a company the completely defies everything that he wanted to create for years? It's completely illogical.

I know most of these arguments are from the video but come on. He is the perfect candidate. And i think you will not get much better evidence when someone doesn't want to be publicly known to be satoshi. But sure there is no 100% conclusive proof so believe whatever you want.
> I had to move SSD cards around so they'd use separate PCIe root complexes to avoid a PCIe <-> CPU data transfer bottleneck

I am doing similar things. Have you considered looking at how to control by software the PCI lanes assignment?

Intel HSIO seems to be software configurable - except that usually, it's all done just by the bios.

But as PCI specs allow for both device-side and host-side negotiations, it should be doable without "moving SSDs around"

> The throughput differs depending on which specific CPU cores happen to run the processes doing I/Os against different SSDs.

That strikes me as odd. I would check the detail of the PCI lanes and their routing. You could have something funky going on. My first guess would be that it's slow on one core because it's also handling something else, by design or by accident.

There're some bad hardware designs out there. But thanks to stuff like HSIO, it should now be possible to fix the worst ones by software (how else would the bios do it otherwise!) just like in the old days of isapnptools!
No they have not reinvented themselves. They are ruthlessly taking over OSS software projects by buying the type of developers who play politics and love to command others around.

I take it that Rust is next after Python, whose development has stagnated and where the mailing lists are now censored.
I believe they were talking about Parler, not who is hosting them.

An issue they would run into in the future.
Engineering the site well to stay online might be beside the point now. Parler wanted to be taken down so that they could fight this legal battle, likely with an eye on Section 230. As an added bonus, they can frame the removal as persecution.
It doesn’t rust as much. It very definitely does rust.

Think about virtual memory. The memory at location #6000 is NOT at where the program thinks is at memory location #6000.

In fact, the program might be reading / writing to memory location 0x08004000 (or close to that, whatever the magic start address was on various OS like Linux / Windows). And then your CPU virtually-translates that address to memory-stick #0 column#4000 or whatever.

Because of virtual memory: all memory operations must be translated by the CPU before you actually go to RAM (and that translation may require a page-table walk in the worst case)
I do like the experience. Instead of sending an email or text message you send an invite with all the details and location. If it suits the other person that is good or they make a suggestion for different time or place. It saves a lot of “let’s meet again. Oh let’s compare agendas.” And things not happening anymore.
bunch of years before that... but wait, did hotmail really mean that?! Not sure I've ever heard that! Or at least also forgotten that. Feel like when MS acquired they didn't promote/brand it like that so the HTML connection was lost (even tho it was obviously a website/webmail etc)

This sounds like an ideal partnership with a company like Canoo (https://www.canoo.com/), which is focused on creating the "skateboard" of EVs. If people don't truly care about the authenticity of their DeLorean, seems like building on someone else's platform is the obvious path.
At the end of the day, the people will get hired back by somebody who needs their groceries delivered. Meanwhile, this makes Insta more of a software company, and lets the stores deal with hiring.

The market is going to love this because it will de-risk Instacart. Grocery stores should love this because they will be able to increase utilization of their employees. And of course employees, despite the popular narrative, will actually gain more power because they would have more localized work, and less competition. It's a win-win-win.
That's what they mean by "less".
Or perhaps GPT says "huh, there sure are a lot of 'mentally I'll people attacking strangers while yelling the name of their God' who happen to belong to religion X"

> Bitcoin only really got any attention because of Silkroad

You just refuted your own argument. Bitcoin got attention because of its utility as a currency, in this case for illicit drug purchases. Now as soon as I have to pay an $80 fee, it ceases to be useful as a currency (except ironically for illegal drugs, if you had no other option - which is not the case btw because you can just use monero or bitcoin cash - some users would still pay a 50% fee to get their illegal drugs)

> but they have nowhere near the amount of currency transactions to legitimately call it a currency

What the hell is your definition of currency? A currency is whatever people use as a currency, and by that definition BCH or what have you is absolutely a currency. And fortunately you can send a transaction on-chain for 1 satoshi per byte, instead of having to use a stupid side chain / lightning network pseudo-solution

> instead one side got upset and created a hard fork at the next opportunity. Then attempted to call themselves Bitcoin, knowing full well they didn't have the hash rate and subsequent proof of work.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how it works. Within a protocol, the "real" chain is the longest chain. But when a hard fork occurs it splits into two different universes, where BCH people don't recognize BTC as valid and vice versa.

Frankly the software ignorance of so many shows when they discuss this topic of forking. It's worth nothing that the "soft fork" vs "hard fork" distinction, while somewhat real, is part of the whole Bitcoin Core propaganda belief system; they believe that there must be some arbitrary "legitimacy" to a hard fork (where legitimacy is defined as who can shout the loudest after having conveniently censored all the sane people out of the room).
I don't see how you're disagreeing with me. I didn't say that Jack the EE couldn't be a perfectly serviceable developer. I've worked with a number who are (and a few who excelled). My point is that the management teams (with no one with software experience) perceive one specific person's relative ease at picking up programming as the general case for programming. This causes them to underestimate what it takes to actually build up the software portion of their business. This happens especially for non-software companies in the same way that software companies might underestimate the difficulty of other fields (how many startups have we seen posted here on HN that are composed of primarily programmers and think they'll revolutionize the fashion industry, the car audio industry, or the banking industry?).

And since management teams in large companies tend to grow out of whichever departments are the primary domains, if software is always seen as tertiary then managers with software background are consistently absent or too few to clear up this confusion.
Read performance is much easier to scale (in one box or several) than write performance. It's usually the writes that make you look at Cassandra and similar, instead of adding more disks and RAM, or spinning another read-only replica.

24 NVMEs should have a lot of write throughput, though.
> A museum membership is really nice if you're in a place a lot.

This. One of the reasons to live in a major city is regular access to first tier museums. I used to go hang out in the scholars court at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as an escape from the city for a while, then take a stroll through a gallery on my way back out as a use for my lunchtime.
I'm not sure if I agree with that. Outside of unabashed copyright infringement and grossly objectionable content (child porn, etc.), there hasn't been a real precedent for a tech player getting booted like this on a moment's notice. If a scenario has never occurred before, I don't see why you'd add it to your threat model.

That being said, they did not have the engineering expertise to even make a resilient stack on top of AWS. If you're running a free trial version of Okta to secure your assets in production [1], all of what you're proposing is a distant dream.

And it is only fair to point out that to use lightning you first need an on-chain transaction to enter it, and then you need to have another one in reserve so you don't lose your money. And then you need another one if you want to top it up with more money. And if the node you connect to goes down or you can't find a route you need to open a new channel...

Or you use a functional cryptocurrency that don't have these ridiculous limitations.
This is simply a matter of adding more cores...I mean, I would hope the 5950x with its 16 full strength cores would be better than an M1 with it's big/little design...

I get that Parler was being used to do something 'violent and bad in the US' and that there was arguably not enough oversight - so they are a 'problem case'.

But the system is a little bit hypocritical, I don't feel it's backed by science or some kind of reasonable application of policy and frankly, I have little trust in the judicial systems ability to sort this out.

While many people are happy 'That Guy' is gone from politics (for now) - we need to wake up to the crude realization that 'regular politics' was never fair or reasonable to begin with and that this issue is going to weaponized by those who think they can do that, and they will use 'Parler and 'President Voldemort' example as cover for whatever it is they want to do.

But looking into what happened in 2015 with the introduction of blockstream, the core devs and the small block campaign. The massive censorship on all major bitcoin discussion platforms. introduction of RBF. the rise of Bitcoin XT and later classic and unlimited. The major signalling for Bitcoin Unlimited by businesses and miners and its subsequent DDOS attack. The segwit proposal with the subsequent Segwit2X proposal. The NY and Hongkong agreements. The BCH fork (and subsequent SV fork if you're interested in that side). The activation of Segwit and the UASF and anti S2X campaign. The complete narrative change shifting to digital gold, SoV and scrubbing anything related to the title of the whitepaper (p2p electronic cash). and so much more interesting stuff, much of the info can be found on reddit's /r/btc that has been scrubbed from other parts of the internet. warning: many info you will find on the subject will be biased one way or another so try to get info on these topics from different sources and make up your own mind.

>Furthermore, Satoshi Nakamoto has a known PGP public key, therefore it is cryptographically possible for someone to verify themselves to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

I find cryptographic signatures fascinating in that they didn't exist 50 years ago. They are a completely new discovery. The long term implications are not yet clear.

They are fundamentally different from the paper and ink signatures they are named after in that they can give an entirely anonymous person a consistent voice over a long period of time. This is a great example of that.
What I find scary and disheartening is that people have to use throwaway accounts to even point this out.

I don't know how it's achieved, but as I look at the bindings for this Windows a.p.i they return all sorts of raw pointers and other things, whereas in XCB bindings for Rust wrap the types in a Rust-friendly way so almost all of them are safe.
