In fairness, you're only seeing 5% of the typos. We caught the other 95% before committing. :)

I love your question, "why not a commit per keypress?", because it raises an interesting follow-up: why not squash and rebase entire months or years of project work into single commits? If squashing is so useful, why do we only apply it at low-grain scales? Could we read and understand massive projects quickly and easily, if they only had a few commits to them?

I'm sure that we don't experiment with larger-scale rebases because of the limitations in the technology -- we all know that we're not supposed to 'git rebase' in public, and why that is. But suppose those obstacles were lifted. Now that we can rebase and rewrite at any time scale, which scale(s) is the right one(s) to choose?
Yes, these are blocked at most services already. Definitely blocked by banks. Need short code ability to be used too.
I'm so confused why everyone just blindly believes Tether is this whole big conspiracy. I am by no means defending the organization but let's just take a step back here:

> Where does the funding come from to print tether?

When they mint 1 Tether they sell it on an exchange for $1. They don't need anyone to upfront lock up $1 and then also sell it for $1...

Are stablecoins not just essentially an interest free loan to the minter? That's why hundreds of them are popping up all over the place. Minters can go invest that money however conservatively they want and just rack up free interest on billions. Why the hell would they NOT print more if there is demand. Consequently, why the hell would they need to participate in any illegal activity when the can print interest free loans whenever they want?

Yes, ideally you'd prefer someone with this position to be overcollatorized and not simply ensure $1 = 1 tether. But that is the risk you take holding that stablecoin. Pick up DAI if you want an overcollatorized asset.

I just don't see the incentive for some of the other arguments out there - many imply they are just printing it and selling it for $0 I guess? Or is the argument they just siphon the money to another organization? Because that would be a more valid concern. There just seems to be this assumption that somehow someone is fronting or magically creating value from nothing. No, the market is by buying newly minted Tether on exchanges. That's where the funding comes from. How is this not obvious?

There is probably a lot more depth to this topic than I am aware of, but some of the top upvoted comments here just seem to be spewing nonsense.

tldr; If a stablecoin minter sells a newly minted coin for $1...then by definition there is now $1 available to back that coin. Stop conspiring where the funds are coming from. The worry should be how they are investing said collateral backing the coins from there.
This racing steering wheel looks like nightmare for city driving especially parking...

I know Tesla banks on automation but how the hell are you supposed to parallel park with this thing manually?

Yoke style wheels are fine for race tracks where you probably won’t ever need to turn them above 45 degrees in either direction.

But for day to day driving? Fuck no, if they wanted a more sporty look they should have done something similar to what BMW did for the iX...

1. At an individual/hobbyist level this is a fine thing to do, if one is already a cryptocurrency enthusiast.

2. At a social/planning level it is important to remember that opportunity costs matter, and this should not be recommended as public policy. One kWh of electricity could either be used for mining bitcoin (creating at most one kWh of indoor heat), or it could be used for running a heat pump[*], yielding multiple kWh of indoor heat due to the magic of heat pumps and their >100% "efficiency"[**].

[*] Yes, I realize the OP is already using a heat pump, but assisting it with preheat is inherently less efficient than plowing the same energy into running the heat pump itself.

[**] Yes, heat pumps aren't >100% efficient per a physics textbook, but what most people care about is that you can use them to get >1 joule of indoor heat from 1 joule of energy input, which feels magical when compared to electric heaters, gas furnaces etc.

I'm not confused as to how it's legal. I'm quite sure it's not. However, it seems to me that except in rare cases, no matter the color of the tie worn by the politician, nominal legality is not an impediment. There's an ideological opponent out there who must be publicly punished for his wrongness as an example to anyone else who might dare be wrong, and while the Constitution forbids various explicit means of doing so, there are myriad implicit ways of approaching the same goal.

The $45T number includes a compounding 5% interest over several centuries... is that normal to do?

> Patnaik identifies four distinct economic periods in colonial India from 1765 to 1938, calculates the extraction for each, and then compounds at a modest rate of interest (about 5 percent, which is lower than the market rate) from the middle of each period to the present.

Certainly interest on stolen funds is also “stolen”. Usually I just see people account for inflation though. I wonder what the original number is before the interest*.
Luckily I’m not at war with anyone. The vast majority of the population do approve of the prison system though, and shrugging off responsibility for what that means seems perverse.
Thanks! Copying the response from a similar question below

> If the misinformation on certain media outlets is considered by the courts to have incited the insurrection

The courts will not consider it to be incitement. If you think the courts even might, you are woefully deficient in your understanding of case law. A key word in the Brandenburg standard is "imminent", and that makes the Brandenburg bar very high. Taking a crowd of antisemites to a Jewish neighborhood and telling them antisemitic creeds and how all Jews need to die doesn't meet that bar--but pointing to a Jew and saying "there's a Jew, get him" does.

Thinking SCOTUS might take a narrower view of free speech than its established precedent holds is not a winning bet. I'm not aware of a single case in my lifetime where SCOTUS ruled for more government restriction of speech rather than less, and this approach means taking a broader view of free speech than perhaps most people are willing to stomach (e.g., Citizens United).

This applies mainly to projects with kernel style of development. There are not many of those. In centralized repo style (GitHub), it's fine to rebase, even force push as long as you know exactly what you are doing and coordinate with your colleagues.

Something I notice is that the more insignificant or invisible the actual division, the more important/newsworthy/controversial it's made out to be by both detractors and supporters. Maybe it has something to do with local/individual problems that were previously once limited to at most to a small group of people now obtaining instantaneous exposure to many other individuals somewhere else. It might also have to do with better awareness/marketing of particular discussions as these discussions "hack" their way through moral and national discourse.
Stock Android and constant updates are the main reasons I dumped Samsung for a Nexus back the day. I stuck with Pixels and Nexuses ever since.

Android One is changing that. Now, some mid-range Nokia phones are at the very top of the list. Why? I just looked up what kind of Nikon cameras I could get, used, for the difference between a Nokia 5.4 and a Pixel 4. That settled it, with the camera being the main difference for me.
Trying to get as many people as possible and asking on social media to help you "find" someone these days is practically a death sentence, regardless of gender. Especially in gaming. I legitimately don't understand how that kind of ask is not harassment. You know the type of people that will surface when you put that ask out there.

I understand the part where they would like to know a bit more about it, but sending pages and pages of physical letters, at least to me, I find this creepy and weird/obsessive

The people that are accusing me of trying to remove women or some 'damsel in distress' thing don't seem to understand that in the gaming space, people calling in threats or attempting to kill you in person because you made a disliked game balance change is real, applies to males, and is a baseline behaviour, or that females in gaming are subject to significantly worse harassment by orders of magnitude; look at the cesspool that is/was pokimanehot.
This is a red herring because the letter doesn't call for the legal system to determine what's true and false, it tries to pressure cable companies to drop cable channels that the ruling party doesn't like.

Regardless, the legal system does in fact make mistakes. We have the legal system because in some cases final decisions have to be made - who to imprison and who not - not because it's a perfect system. The fact that we need a system for a limited purpose doesn't imply that we should expand it's power indefinitely.

Seems to me like further polarization. Only those that can afford the elite colleges (or be “smart” enough to get in) will be educated, while the rest will skip any personal development and just go right into the market.

Educating people in the skills necessary for being good citizens doesn’t cost that much. Most of the books required are free. Yet somehow the common response to “college is expensive” is “get rid of it” instead of “make it less expensive.”
Some developers favor tools other than Git. For example, D. Richard Hipp, the developer of SQlite, uses the Fossil Distributed SCM to some success https://fossil-scm.org/
I prefer distanced learning. It's probably my school but the majority of the comp sci students are slackers and drag the people who do this stuff down. As shown by the fact that it's harder for these lazy students to mooch of the actual hard working ones. Really hard to pretend being someone's friend with an email versus sitting next to the smart kid.
> It's political censorship disguised at fact checking. If they were really concerned about "fake news", they would apply the same standards to the other side. Remember how just a couple years ago almost all of the major media outlets were pushing a conspiracy theory about "Russian Collusion"? Yet nobody is talking about shutting ABC, CBS, NBC, or MSNBC down, kicking them off cable, or banning them from the internet.

You're misremembering. Russian collusion was an allegation that needed to be investigated because of 1) the actions of Russian intelligence agencies to influence the election in ways advantageous to Trump, and 2) weird things members of the Trump campaign did that were suspicious. However, the major media outlets only reported on that, and it didn't go on to claim that there was actual collusion.

For instance, here's the first page of results from major media outlet search for "Russian collusion" (ending the day before the Mueller report):

https://www.nytimes.com/search?dropmab=true&endDate=20190321...

> BRIEFING Judge Doubles Down on Scrutiny of Roger Stone’s Book

> POLITICS Roger Stone’s New Instagram Post and Book Draw Scrutiny After Gag Order

> POLITICS ‘Collusion Delusion’: Trump’s CPAC Speech Mocks Mueller Inquiry

> POLITICS Trump Says There Was ‘No Collusion’ With the Russians

> OPINION The Russians Were Involved. But It Wasn’t About Collusion.

> POLITICS Indictment Details Collusion Between Cyberthief and 2 Russian Spies

> OPINION How Will ‘Collusion’ Play in the Midterms?

> OPINION Can We Please Stop Talking About ‘Collusion’?

> OPINION Oh, Wait. Maybe It Was Collusion.

That last piece sounds like it's the closest to saying there was collusion, lets see what it says:

> What remains to be determined is whether the Russians also attempted to suborn members of the Trump team in an effort to gain their cooperation. This is why the investigation by the special counsel, Robert Mueller, is so important.

That's not pushing a conspiracy theory.

On the other hand, Fox News, OANN, NewsMax, etc. lied to the extent that they're legitimately worried about the conspiracy theories they were pushing costing them a lot of money from defamation lawsuits:

However, I don't fault you too much for this confusion. There are a lot of liars out there who've found a lot of success "arguing" with false equivalencies to keep their followers loyal to the cause.
In a way you're agreeing with me. You're pointing out how hard it is to find what's true, and the obvious answer to me seems - better science.

Have the DNA sent to 3 separate labs to test blindly against a control (blind tests are a huge component of the scientific method), require consensus from all 3 labs.

Modern scientific method also was the solution to "phrenology" (skull shape).

At least I assume you're not arguing all scientific evidence in court should be inadmissible?

How so? He says "on sunny days the miner and whole heat pump are running fully on solar energy collected on my roof", hard to beat that with gas. I would say that moving more houses to all-electric heating, water heaters, clothes dryers etc. is future proofing - right now, a lot of that energy would be from fossil fuels, but swapping in renewables is easy.

Interesting insights, thanks for taking the time to reply! Always interested in this kind of stuff after working in the water resources field on the software side of things. We pull in data from telemetered data loggers (like Sutron - https://www.sutron.com/) and then create data driven maps and dashboards on top of it. Cool to see you guys operating both in the hardware and software space.
The problem with annoying neighbours is that they lack the common decency to comply. By definition, if they had the required decency then they wouldn't become annoying in the first place.

The general advice always seems to be to talk to your neighbour about the problem but, in my experience, this never works and is more likely to aggravate an already testy relationship.

Thus far, until 'being annoying' becomes an acceptable defence for murder, the only strategy that works 100% is to move.
Lambda School style ISAs cap the return at 30k.

The top schools don't need ISAs because they're selling prestige they can charge a lot more for. Since they're so highly selective they can admit only students who will succeed anyway.

Maybe over time that prestige will change, but I don't see that as near-term. I think it'd be better if they did ISAs, I just don't think they'll want to (or their ISAs will be worse for students than Lambda School's).

Right now top schools can charge up front and it doesn't really matter what they provide.
I switched from Chrome to Firefox about a year and a half ago. Chrome definitely felt more snappy, but the difference wasn't that much.

Except on Facebook. My Facebook tab is incredibly laggy, and gets more and more laggy the longer I leave it open. I'm one of those users that tends to keep 50+ tabs open, and I have to close and reopen the Facebook tab at least once a day to keep it from becoming a nearly frozen mess. Even then, if a video is playing and I click it to make it fill the window, it takes several seconds for it to happen. And with an i9-9900K, 32 GB of RAM, RTX 3080, and a 1 TB NVMe drive, my computer is definitely no slouch.
So here's a question: if a company was suffering below average equipment downtime from lube problems, because they had somehow managed to have above average compliance to manufacturer's specs, would your sales pitch still work? Because as they said on Prairie Home Companion, "all our children are above average". No one thinks they have incompetent maintenance teams.

There are industries where safety risks make lube happen correctly. Are they still in your addressable market?

Good luck!
I suppose that depends on what you believe the point is.

The opening assertion was that high-fructose corn syrup is a misnomer. This not a historically accurate statement. Disregarding any erroneous conflation of high-fructose corn syrup with corn syrup (of the only type that existed prior to the invention of what is termed high-fructose corn syrup), high-fructose corn syrup is most assuredly "high" in that it contains a "high" percentage of fructose (40-90%) in comparison with the previously existing corn syrup which contain 0% fructose.

It is spurious to hold to a vague definition of "high" that can only apply to concentrations somewhere in excess of 90%, lest we find ourselves unable to refer to water containing 0.5% lead by weight as having "high" levels of lead.

That said, I concur with the assertion that significant consumption of fructose in any of the commonly available forms, including as a component of sucrose, that do not substantially moderate the rate of its absorption (e.g. such as a dietary fiber-based structural matrix) carry an associated negative health risk.

It is accurate to say that sucrose becomes the equivalent of "HFCS-50" upon contact with the enzymes which line the inside of the small intestine.
I found JSON path to be so, so weak and limiting. Missing powerful axis traversals like xpath has, and also has very confusing semantics (the filter condition also changes the output???).

I hoped to find jq as a gem/module/library but I was disappointed. After days of searching and trying different things, I honestly could not find any powerful library or API for traversing and searching JSON.
I think it was maybe not on my side, specifically... but just don't tell my wife that. :)
I pursued something similar. The challenge you may face is that the act of regular inspections, maintaining the RFID tags, and paying for the service may cost more than doing a poor job of grease maintenance. The alternative is just simply doing regular rounds with a grease bucket.
