>labeling everyone you disagree with as the most negative adjective possible is dangerous for democracy

I generally agree, which is why I tend to have a very high bar for calling someone a Nazi.

However, "fascist" is a rung below that. I have generally taken the definition to mean "ideologically selective disrespect for [democracy/rule of law/both] motivated by both a claim of victimhood and a belief in the superiority of [some ethnic/cultural heritage], where particularly the claim of victimhood involves some kind of secret manipulation on the part of [political activists/foreigners/minorities]".

It is unfortunate that a major political party in my country has come so close to satisfying this definition ever since the Ukraine affair (confirmed extensively by John Bolton in his recent book), which I spent some time studying/developing around 2016 mostly to ensure that I would be intellectually consistent in determining whether there were actually fascists in the US government. It has never been with eagerness that I called anyone a fascist.

Making the high value parts, the CPU, flash memory, camera module, sensors, Gorilla Glass, display panels, etc is high value. Do you know how many of the components on that list are made in China? None. They’re all made in the USA, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Only low value parts and final assembly are done in China yet it’s the low skill final assembly worth only a few dollars in value that counts as “manufacturing”.

I think the flash used to be made in China for a while, but the fancy new stuff is South Korea (Samsung) and Japan (Toshiba). The camera modules are made by Sony in Japan. The CPUs are TSMC in Taiwan. Back in the early years over 40% of the value in the Bill of Materials of an iPhone was made in the USA, including the CPUs by Samsung in Texas, Gorilla Glass by Corning in NY state, I forget all the rest, only about 10% of the cost of manufacture was added in China. It’s probably a bit more now.

* In the future sidechains are going to be used in a big way on Ethereum. Lower cost, higher transaction processing. All the cool shit is being developed on Ethereum right now because of a robust toolchain. Also, there are many infrastructure startups that are filling in technology gaps.

* Basic Attention Token (BAT) is another "internet money" contender because the user can earn it through viewing ads. No fiat onramp needed.

An elegant solution, thanks for sharing!

For self-hosted personal Kanban board with persistent DB storage and potential shared access, I've had good experience with Kanboard, https://kanboard.org/ , I'm running on a DO droplet with Nginx (or Apache) & MySQL.

One can also access the board via an JSON RPC android app, GNU GPL 3.0. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/in.andres.kandroid/

Kanboard is distributed under MIT, needs a web-server, database and php. For DB: Sqlite, Mysql/Postgres, others.

Requirements here: https://docs.kanboard.org/en/latest/admin_guide/requirements...

If you want to run it on your local machine, a LAMP / LNMP / *nix, php & DB setup (or just use docker, one command install) is quite fast and convenient. Kanboard is not as elegantly minimalist as the parent-linked-project, but since there were requests for self-hosted Kanban solutions with persistent storage and possibly web-access, I decided to share my experience. Kanboard works well for me and mobile access has been handy.

I almost never take mine with me places, unless I am expecting to take a call while out.

The difficulty with cartoon lions is interesting. I wonder if training an image classifier on cartoon drawings of things would help it better recognize those objects in real-life images, as the cartoon version is (theoretically) distilled down into those aspects that (to a human, at least) are the characteristically recognizable aspects of that thing, without distracting detail? Simplified cartoon drawings of things are often used to teach children, after all.

Also, that Roomba really does look like a CD player.

> it’s terrible as a wide spread value store because it removes an important tool that governments have to handle the economy (dealt with debt via inflation aka printing money

How does a static rather than unconstrained supply make something a LESS good store of value?
From your link:

“Stability in value is presumed to be the decisive factor for acceptance. Hayek makes the assumption that competition will favor currencies with the greatest stability in value since a devalued currency hurts creditors, and an upward-revalued currency hurts debtors.”

Stability is not the observed behaviour in BTC.
The "price" of two coins in terms of fiat currency is not comparable. It depends on the total supply. The current total supply of ETH is ~120M vs BTC's 21M. If ETH was limited to, say, a total supply of 1000 coins the price would be astronomical.

Also ETH doesn't have an upper limit to the total supply, therefore its scarcity is not the same as BTC.
Bitcoin is the most complicated idea known to man: number go up.
The JET database continually corrupts itself. It’s terrible.

The Windows search functionality uses this database and the only way Microsoft was able to make this feature somewhat reliable is by having it run very thorough checks at startup and tossing the database and reindexing at the first hint of trouble.

I don’t know why it is so terribly unreliable but I know it is.
If you have enough hash power to 51% attack Bitcoin at all, your potential for rewards by instead mining honestly are significantly higher, at least that's how the game theory generally plays out

> I think a billion people out of poverty is a net win.

On the loss side, we have allowed this despot regime to amass so much power (thanks to the economic growth) that they can take the following steps with impunity

1. ethnic cleansing of Uighur minorities

2. support of a rogue nuclear regime in North Korea

3. Subjugating more than a billion people with perpetual surveillance and authoritarian rule

4. Increasing risks of a strife with multiple neighbors - Japan (Senkaku), S. Korea (via N. Korea), Taiwan (claiming sovereignty), Vietnam (South China Sea) etc.

It feels like a net loss to me.
It's never late to enter the market. It seems like a lot of people aren't happy investing in tech companies and doubling their money over the next 5-10 years. They want to take big risks and double their money now!

Being impatient will likely kill your returns in the long-term. The interviews with Charlie Munger videos on YT are really good if you're interested in a sensible approach to investing.

if you use BTC as unit of account then Bitcoin is the only thing that IS stable!
I feel similar. I bought 1 BTC when they cost tens of pounds because I was interested in it. I spent about 0.2 BTC, some on goods and some I donated to charitable causes. I sold the rest when it was ten thousand. I also tried to buy a second BTC but lost my money on an exchange.

I still believe, as I did then, that Bitcoin is worthless because it's not scalable. I do think if someone can solve the scalability issues then decentralised currency is extremely valuable. But I've tried investing in those and they've all tanked. Crypto is entirely driven by speculation. There is very little real value.

But yeah, it sucks a bit to think if I would've waited until now I'd actually have what amounts to a life-changing amount to me. I just remind myself that I'm rich anyway. I have a warm house, enough food to make me fat, a home cinema, loads of computers and a fast car. So why would I lose sleep over it?

More specifically, I'm assuming that they are a speculative instrument where people are expecting positive growth (i.e. that bitcoins become more valuable over time).

The supply of new people earning money who will want to invest income into Bitcoin has to be finite. Growth can't continue forever because you always need to find someone new who is willing to pay more than you did for a bitcoin/satoshi to keep the price growing, and there isn't an infinite supply of people with an infinite supply of money.
Still we could have used the same energy for other things that are currently running on non-renewable energy.

That sounds like an awesome project for a graduate EE design class!
To do this well (for servers, which is the most common case) you need to keep the port open (and delay requests while recompilation is in progress) or clients can see transient errors. So it's probably not a language level concern, but a protocol level one (it's very solvable for HTTP for example).

I built https://github.com/superhuman/lrt which tries to solve this problem in a go-like way (no configuration required, minimal log noise, and reliability/simplicity as the primary design goals) for Superhuman.
What makes you think Japan wasn't Fascist ? It was a military dictatorship. All the Axis powers were explicitly Fascist, as were neutral Spain and Portugal.
Yeah, let's be real -- just as with Go Modules and the "try" proposal, there is no "open source process" when it comes to major language changes; the decision is always ultimately made by the core team, not the community. And I agree with you -- this arrangement is fine! I strongly prefer it that way. The Go devs have an excellent track record of getting it right, even when it went against the prevailing wisdom.

Personally, I'm opposed to adding generics, but if we have to...I trust the Go devs to do it better than just about anyone else.

John Carmack spent some time in one of his famous keynotes talking about functional programming. On the one hand, obviously video games tend to be very stateful, and implementing them in imperative terms is natural. On the other hand, tons of specific things you do inside a game (or in any program) can be described as pure functions, and doing that is often a great idea. I think it was this part of this keynote: https://youtu.be/Uooh0Y9fC_M?t=4660
I don't down vote on here but if I were to guess, it's not for stating facts, but for asserting your rigid interpretation of those facts as if it were the only obvious conclusion.
It is rather a promise of an "eventual stability". Thinking through that lens, I think USD (and other Fiat currencies) are the ones exhibiting instability.
I think the point it adds to the discourse, regardless of tone, is that your suggestion of outlawaing public recordings is very much at odds with the past twenty years or more of experience, where we've seen that public recordings of the misdeeds of those in power are often the only way that such abuses are recognized as happening. Outlawing the things that make that possible is one of the easiest ways to make sure that such behavior never gets punished, as evidenced by how many times we've seen that police "forget" to turn their body cameras on, or "lose" the footage.
The last point is the big one. Almost no one would have carried on through the last 3 bitcoin bubbles if they did buy at the start.
I have been quite happy with the Gtk bindings for Go (https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3). As Gtk has a C Api, it is a good match for Go, actually Go makes Gtk nicer than calling it from C in my eyes, as the GObject wrap to Go types and you can just call methods on them vs. the C syntax of passing the GObject as the first function argument and having the object type in the function name.

If you install the Gtk libraries on the Mac, Go programs written with gotk3 just compile and run there too.

Matthew 6:5-8.

If you are hurting from lack of in-person church activity, it’s not the religious aspect you are missing; it’s either the social or communal aspects, or both.

Christianity was originally an entirely private and non-public, non-mass-congregation form of worship. Small gatherings, maybe, but only for instructional purposes, guidance purposes, or other activities; certainly no weekly mass assemblages involving hundreds or thousands.

This doesn’t mean that church gatherings don’t have positive effects. Humans are an extremely social species and most of us need extensive community interaction of some form to promote mental health. It’s just that by highlighting the religion itself, you’re just misattributing those positive effects to the wrong source.
I was on Twitter early, and my experience is no, it was very different. It's possible that stuff existed in some circles I wasn't running in, but I didn't see any of it. Facebook was so different (pretty locked down to just your friends) that it's not comparable.
