I can see we are on to the "I don't like the way you said it" act of avoiding backing up your claims.

Just back up what you originally said, that it's "impossible to have more transactions than a mid sized costco" even though ethereum processes over a million transactions every day.

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-eth-lt...

> Crypto is moving to layer 2, which is centralize

If you look at transactions, it is moving to other crypto currencies. Mostly ethereum and bitcoin cash. Bitcoin is third and smaller currencies have their own fraction.

> The custody plan is BNY Mellon and the scaling plan is Visanet.

I don't know what "custody plan" is supposed to mean and this is another prediction of the future with zero to back it up.

> I dunno man I see clear directionality.

Based on what?

> If it were as simple as you say I suspect someone would have done it and 13 years later you wouldn’t be tilting at bitcoins 3tx/sec average haha.

People did do it and it was simple. That's why bitcoin is third in transaction volume as shown in the easy to read graphs I linked you. No one is tilting, you are just repeating things that you know are not true even though many people have explained them to you. All your effort seems to go into avoiding confronting the claims you make.
Wow, P.G. almost gets it. The most unrestricted donation is paying your damn taxes. Get rid of the philanthropy loophole, raise the taxes, and lets invest our surplus democratically.
A few grams of sodium chloride is not going to destroy your plumbing or your landscaping. Your plumbing is in daily contact with sodium chloride from the food we eat, the sodium chloride that is in municipal water supplies, and it is a common substance to be found outdoors as well, including soil.

You don’t want to put kilograms of it in your garden, but this device is not consuming anywhere close to that amount of salt. It holds about the quantity of a salt shaker of salt, and can be fired 80 times from that amount.
Too much software engineering is learned on the job, and your job is usually dictated by laymen you have no control over and who may or may not give a damn about your career. You might work at a hygenic, technical garden, you might work at an Agile SCRUM feature factory that de facto prohibits re-factoring.

But University CS programs aren't the proper place for this pedagogy either, and I don't see SWE guilds popping up for a few reasons.
Seems odd the previous owner accepted such a low monthly payment. I guess it required a lot of work? Or perhaps the owner felt the downside risk was substantially higher than it appears?
No organization would accept a donation of this form. If the size of the donation was large enough to be compelling, it would also put the organization at risk. Having a looming loan of millions of dollars at risk if you upset someone isn't viable, especially given that the implication is that this would last indefinitely. A nonprofit that took loans like this over time would very quickly end up with potential debts much, much greater than they could ever hope to repay.

Op mentions sunset provisions in a sibling, but at that point the difference between this and a recurring donation is marginal.

Just donate a smaller amount on a recurring basis. You reduce your risk that the nonprofit will upset you, without making their existence tenuous.
I feel your take is the correct one. I'm old enough to remember when home video recorders were criticized because porn, but porn was just the kick off to the wider world of video uses and purposes.
> I wonder if the people who run LE ever travel via the same means

Afaik, the LE team is distributed across the globe.

> If somebody took them out all at once, would the web's security essentially crumble?

No, there are other both free and paid CAs

> We have shitty hacks, like "serve this unique file on this web server that this domain record is pointing to", or "answer an e-mail on one of 20 addresses at this domain", etc.

Yes, but we also have certificate transparency. You can monitor all certificates issued to your domains and revoke them if needed. Not perfect but imo still reasonably safe considering you know that all the issued certs are on your servers.

> You tie a private key to domain ownership, and a private key to a domain record. Then you only have to trust registrars' keys/certs, and you can walk backward along a cryptographically-signed web of trust.

That exists and is called DNSSEC. If you haven't heard of it, you already understand: it isn't widely used. Also, it would require major rethinking of how we use the internet. Most clients do not validate DNSSEC, only public and maybe ISP resolvers do, but they can (and probably will) tamper the DNSSEC answers if they can better spy and mitm you.

> Your browser trusts the registrar's key X

Sure, we could do it in browsers, but the internet is wider than the web, and we would need to rewrite a great part or what we use every day (not saying that we can't or should not).

In the mean time, if you use a DNSSEC-compatible TLD and registrar, you can already sign your zones. That way, the current CAs will be able to cryptographically verify that the server asking for a cert also owns the domain/subdomain.
Yes, and that is the finding of the actual paper. The kicker is that the movie method takes less time overall and less therapist involvement than the other two techniques tested. I wish people could get past whining about how this isn’t a randomized controlled study and actually look at the findings on their merits.

The information in voter registration isn't "leaked." It's public as a matter of record. (The details probably vary by state.) So are real estate purchases. (Although the latter can be gotten around in various ways.) There are tradeoffs between transparency and privacy.

No. There are people who don't seem to understand what is EUT who claim so, though. [1]

If EE just puts the U in EUT it will also fail as a theory of financial decision making in all the cases where EUT fails.

An LoI lays out the understandings of the parties, so they can know whether to proceed and under what terms they should do so. An LoI also creates a backstop of intents in case of legal proceedings. Thirdly, an LoI let's parties define expected remedies in case the deal fails. There may additionally be specific implementation details spelled-out.

I'm sure there may be more reasons, but those are the ones I'm familiar.

they don't call it a "design pattern", but a "technique".

to me, "hip roof framing" or "trench shoring" definitely sounds like "applying a visitor" or "implementing an abstract factory" would sound to a non-software-engineer carpenter.

Design patterns fill a similar niche as recipes. You have learned the fundamentals, control flow, data structures, algos, etc, but you are t sure how to put that all together.

After learning the fundamentals of cooking, you can start exploring different recipes. Most of them are instructional and assume a base level of knowledge like what golden brown or finely diced means. They let you use your skills to make something physical.

Design patterns fill a similar niche, somewhere between abstract concept and concrete code. What differs is that most recipes can be made without prior dependency. You can make chicken for dinner no matter what you made before. Large software projects aren’t like that. When deciding what to do you have to consider what you and your coworkers made for every previous meal. This makes a recipe much harder to choose, and often ends up as square peg/round hole.

On the flip side most people start with recipes and only after much trial and error so they learn how to cook.
Smells like it, they probably want to GME themselves.

I remember reading someone's opinion how the current SV companies are basically ponzi schemes (e.g. WeWork), the big institutional investors hype them up and get the first stocks, retail investors would come in next, and the big institutions can then cash out. I wish I can remember where I read this...
Ryan Holiday, who is an author of several stoicism books and even sells "memento mori" coins that you can keep on your person to remember that you will die, happens to be American Apparel's former marketing director.

Incidentally, I learned more from his earlier, non-stoicism book, "Trust Me I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator." A prescient book for the current wave of media manipulation.
The author had a piece of software running and it started to slow down over time. They ignored it and marched on. It slowed down even more and they had a demo fail. (The author did not mention this explicitly, but I assume it was working fine at the demo rehearsal but slowed down and failed in front of audience).

So instead of trying to debug the slowdown or try to fix the system in some other way they decided to just ... switch to a completely different system. No trying to understand what's going on, not even a bug search on the tracker.

This seems pretty wrong to me. It's like saying "hey, I recently started to use Java, and I just hit a GC delay in my Java program -- so I am dropping Java completely and switching to Go". Yeah, sometimes switching to a new tech is the right thing, but you are supposed to at least try to tune the existing stack a bit before replacing it outright.
A good point, though for some people, that would be a better fit than what nature and chance gave them.

The separation of cojoined twins is potentially even more drastic, especially if it could be accomplished in those whose self-aware consciousnesses are not entirely independent.

Everyone's entire body, brain included, is undergoing continual change, simply from aging if not from injury or disease, and the changes that are most challenging to the concept of self are those that affect the brain.
> If it did, the cops would get fired.

This is just willful ignorance. The entire problem with police is the lack of accountability. They don't get fired even when they commit murder, let alone go to jail.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/12/i-used-be...

Please look at the data, because you are wildly misinformed.
What is the ultimate point you're trying to make? It sounds like you're trying to defend the actions of the police in these cases, but it's not clear what you're trying to accomplish by doing so. Your version of these events are extremely charitable to the police, and ignore just how badly each situation was botched by law enforcement.

> Breonna Taylor - caught in the crossfire after her drug dealer boyfriend opened fire on the police while executing a lawfully obtained warrant.

This is the last straw with this comment. The police blindly fired rounds into an apartment and killed an innocent woman. The lawfulness of the warrant and the status of her boyfriend have nothing to do with why people are furious or why the raid was unacceptable.

If you find these actions by the police acceptable, I recommend a period of deep introspection and self-reflection. Ask yourself if this is truly the side of this issue you want to align yourself with.

So now you have two ledgers: one on a blockchain and another one that's just "the court said X". They will diverge over time, and eventually everyone will just use the latter one, because that's the one that counts.

Before I buy an NFT, I'll have to check the GovLedger anyway to make sure that NFT is actually that person's to sell, and hasn't got a lien on it or something else that means they can't actually sell it.

If the idea is the blockchain is permissioned and the state can choose which transfers to allow and can forcibly recover NFTs, why not just use a database?
This seems to be the largely the case with scandinavian countries in general.

I've been seriously considering leaving the USA permanently because I'm having a difficult time reconciling my morals and ideals with the taxes I pay. Ballots and debates aren't enough. I'd rather vote with my taxes and my feet, and start helping a county I believe in.
It's not exactly like for like, but compare these maps of available public restrooms in SF and NYC:

- NYC: http://m3.mappler.net/nyrestroom/

- SF: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?mid=1xRGER_GLPdRdOA...

No disagreement as to the opiate issues in SF exacerbating the problem, but it seems reasonable to think that anyone (drug problem or not) would prefer to use a bathroom than squat on a sidewalk.
The implication that someone couldn't keep up with a relatively new things-- in your case vague example something they even encountered a few years earlier-- is pretty much the definition of ageism. Anyone who decides to keep their professional skills current will do just fine whether they're 5 years out of school or 40 years out of school. If someone doesn't keep current & is 5 years out of date on their skills, there's not a lot of difference between a 30 year old and a 60 year old that are equally 5 years out of date. Though the 60 year old might have decades more of experience working in their advantage, so maybe the two aren't equal.
> What does design patterns provide on top of that? Only additional complexity and redundancy.

understanding each other would be impossible if we just said, e.g. strategy or command.

"we use a strategy" can mean a ton of stuff in the context of a chat between developers in a company. "we use the strategy pattern" will be clear to everyone.

> Creators who wanted to make an honest dollar but ignorantly perpetuated the scam

To be fair, if they're doing it honestly the value proposition is "Support the artist and get bragging rights for having done so!", which doesn't become a scam (or at least any more of scam, depending on your view of bragging rights) just because there's a scammy secondary market that the patron doesn't necessarily have to participate in.

According to Google, downtown Houston is 1.84 square miles. Houston is 669 square miles. So downtown Houston represents about 0.3% of Houston. The reason it is affordable in downtown Houston is because the other 99.7% of Houston exists, and if it weren't affordable in downtown people would just live elsewhere.

You don't have the same choices in and around SF, therefore there is a lot of demand on much smaller amounts of land, therefore it's a lot more expensive!

It's the same reason rent is really expensive in NYC, even though they are way more dense than SF. Lots of demand, not many alternatives.
There seems to be plenty of economic incentive for automation in the US without socialized health care.

It has occured to me though that one thing that makes automation and digitalization of society "affordable" by comparison to human labor is -- skimping on security, building this giant house of insecure fragile IT. If we were to actually pay for reliable secure systems we probably couldn't afford the computers-replace-person-hours version either, not sure where that would leave us.

The USA-ians definitely like their money as much as the Swiss.
It’s fair comparison in that they are both sets of garbage people overreacting when things don’t go their way. I find it a very apt comparison.

In Sweden we have a company running the ID system and that works fine. The company is coowned by all the large banks afaik. I was really surprised at how far behind Switzerland is compared to Scandinavia when it comes to digitalisation. Being able to handle my life hassle free online instead of going to physical places (like post office, banks, gov office) is liberating. I also get all my bills digitally and all my receipts (even physical stores)

Hmm I'm not a fan of flutter at all.. It's pretty poor on mobile, you can always tell when an app uses it because it feels 'out of place' on the platform.

Though I guess it is better than Electron because that's really wasteful and bad. There's a few pearls like VS Code but 95% of Electron apps are horrible (including other MS apps like Teams, Yammer etc).

Anyway pretty much everything Ubuntu does these days rubs me the wrong way. Snap in particular (super slow to start, and only works with their own store). I still use it for work a bit because we only have 2 choices and I hate Red Hat even more :)

But my point is, Canonical keeps pushing stuff that's great for their interests (snaps with their IoT ambitions, and trying to rope other distros into their snap store) and for developers, but not for the users.
Exactly, no one is saying you can't see your neighbor if you don't have errands to run.
