yup, well it is a big issue, and as usual, the (apparently) easy and obvious solutions don't work out so well. I totally sympathize with all of those worrisome situations. I see a much better solution would be a proper minimum wage.

Seriously, for anyone who has a business and needs to pay anyone else, if they can't make a profit paying a wage such that a full-time job in that locale is above the poverty line and affording decent housing, then they do not have a business. What they have is organized theft. They are either stealing their employee's lives (poverty shortens life), or stealing from the govt (for their extra support checks).

Having a proper wage base would go far in allowing people to afford housing. Yes, it would push the price up, allow for more creation, etc.

I do think you have a key point there about the issues of price and commuting, and in was echoed in your point about the ppl looking for a place to camp. Making more housing available for poor people who cannot also afford the transportation to do long commutes every day does no one any good, especially when most cities already have massive transport problems. We need not just random housing, but housing near the jobs...
Most apps require constant updates or they stop working.

I had set up my iphone to only update on wifi, and was travelling for a month or so only using mobile network.

When I tried to get an uber, I realized the app didn't work correctly (the driver appeared to be in the middle of the ocean). Same for other apps.

Games and apps that don't use heavy server code work fine, but google maps, uber, whatsapp, facebook, and some of the KEY things will break eventually if you never update them.

I mean, I'm not denying that an imminent ice age was on the public consciousness at some point; as you point out, articles saying as much can be found relatively easily. I'm just saying that that isn't necessarily representative of climate research at the time.

Liquid crystals are, well, liquid. They typically list [ 0°C .. +50°C ] interval.

Even laptop CPUs are generally warmer than +50°C when loaded, the limit for various CPUs is often about +85°C .. +105°C. When you place CPU right behind LCD, it’s hard to do good thermal insulation. This means the display gonna fail soon, unless the manufacturer does aggressive thermal throttling of the CPU, like it happens in tablets.
> If someone on the phone

Not "someone". Me. They happily secure phone actions by both a password and 2FA just like online access. After that point you can do literally anything else with the account, including close it or get a copy of the card details.

Thwarting the verified owner of the account is not fraud prevention.

On the subject of thwarting and card details, though, neither CapitalOne's website nor mobile app will show my card number nor will they let me create temporary card numbers _after_ I've authenticated with a strong password and 2FA whenever I happen to be outside of the country. It just says "Oops, something went wrong". It took me weeks to figure out the first time that it was because I wasn't on a US network.

It looks like "reserve requirement" is at most 100% -- so if Archeologist misbehaves, they only lose a small multiple of the contract fees? This seems pretty crazy even you fully buy into rational actors model.

Here is a simple hypothetical:

Let's say me + my partner have a DeFi startup, and we have $1,000,000 worth of cryptocurrency in cold storage, protected by multisig. In order to prevent money from being lost if something happens, I want my partner to get a key if I die. A regular centralized safety deposit box is $100/year, but I don't trust it, so I set up this "sarcophagus" thing with $10,000 as bounty, to incentivize the archeologist nodes.

Assume that my partner is not actually trustworthy, and they want to steal the money. So they contact Archeologists nodes directly, and offer them 10% of "corpse" value if they unwrap early.

What would a rational economic actor do? From my reading the paper, it would be in their interest to _defect_ and unwrap earlier. They are going to lose their bond ($10,000 + 10%) and their reserve requirement will raise a bit -- but not too much if they don't do this frequently. And they will gain 10% of corpse value, or $100,000 in this example.

So it looks like this scheme is really not useful for any sort of high-value secrets?
"How many lines of vimscript have you written? No, copy-pasting config lines from someone's dotfiles doesn't count. How many times have you opened the source code of some vim plugin you are using and tried to modify what it does?"

Well, I haven't had a real reason to do so. I used to use more plugins but I slowly am paring it down to a much more minimal configuration. I'm not a huge fan of vimscript, but I don't think it's worth changing over to emacs for. Plain vi actually isn't that bad, depending on the version.

"Emacs-like shortcuts are also available wherever you have readline (e.g. many shells)."

Sure, and I appreciate the irony of learning some emacs shortcuts for readline while using vim. But that's different from editing. The only time I've seen vi not available is in scratch/alpine linux containers where busybox essentials weren't installed either.

I suppose my use case is different because I work a lot with containers, and minimal install systems in general.
Yes, and you can see the mainframe origins in the modern cloud. It was funny to see the predecessor to Kubernetes (Borg) had a language that was even a wink and a nod to JCL called BCL that then evolved into Kubernetes's resource config files.

That being said, it takes a massive commitment and pretty much a rewrite from scratch to achieve a jump from mainframe to modern DC. You need to embrace individual node failure and that's not something you can just hack in.
The oracle is the user who's locking up the file. They have to periodically call a smart contact to show they are alive.

> this text box, etc.

I always keep a GVIM window open so that I can type text there and then paste those into other places that are not vi.

It also helps that vi is a lot more stable than certain websites and is less likely to lose my text. It's nice to be able to just copy&paste without having to re-type the same text when browser crashes.

General question:

can such emoji domain names be used as well for normal URLs for webbrowsers? (I guess "yes", but then why does the article focus that much only on email-addresses?)

If yes, does anybody have any example? (I'm testing a web-crawler => I would like to test it against such emoji-domains...)
Yeah but that is the easiest example imaginable. The problem is not a button class its the card-left-wrapper-container class that you have to use to style something the right way.

It basically boils down to naming things for me. The author says it's a good thing. I don't think so. Most of the time in plain CSS we have to come up with arbitrary names, that introduce confusion and bugs later on.

Utility classes, while sometimes cumbersome to read, always state their intent.
I picked up spacemacs earlier this year but have since switched to Doom emacs: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs it's smaller, faster, and you configure it in a way that's closer to vanilla emacs. The size makes it more tractable to learn. The creator & primary maintainer is more active, funny, and helpful than the spacemacs maintainer who I believe is on hiatus.

I wish someone had told Doom about it before I picked up spacemacs so maybe this post will benefit past-future-me.
A similar experience when younger (and less financially secure!) has lead me to embrace n+1: my emergency fund (the part that isn’t in the coffee can in the freezer) lives in a separate bank than my checking, and I carry an Amex and a Visa as backup and pay with credit at all times.

I haven’t needed the redundancy since then but it’s comforting to know that I have a multi-month cushion to fight with banks if I need one.
I only carry my debit card and drivers licence as a backup incase my phone goes flat. My digital drivers licence is accepted by police and vehicle registration has been entirely digital for years. If I lost my physical one I don't think I would bother replacing it. I can register an expired vehicle through an app and drive it immediately. The only time I go to a service centre is once a decade to get a licence picture.

If I report a lost debit/credit card to prevent fraud then the card is cancelled and I can't pay with my phone and have to wait a week for a replacement card. At least I can still drive without a physical licence.

The LVT is this but... more. The idea of a full land-value tax is based on a principle related to universal basic income. In both cases, the argument is that by applying the tax/income to every stakeholder indiscriminately, it removes bureaucratic complexity and motivation to "cheat" the system.

Since the effect is the same no matter what, we don't need a huge statute listing what does and does not apply as X.

> Should my grandma pay $240 per year, to watch two movies I recommend to her (and are ONLY watchable on Netflix)?

So that's $10. Or sign up for just a month and then cancel. I know people who have Netflix for a few months, and then another service for a few months and so on.

I still remember having to rent movies/TV or buying on DVD as my main way of watching... at 4-6 movies a month and ~$20-30 per season of TV, you'd have to have quite a few streaming services to match that. It's all about convenience vs cost.

I have a fun story about a card with an unusual number of digits!

I worked for a very large department store on their mobile app. They issued their own in-store credit cards that only had 9 digits and didn't pass the LUHN check.

They jumped into e-commerce a loooong time ago so the tech stack was showing it's age and they didn't have real test servers. (They did but they were almost always unusably slow.) We did almost all of our testing against the production servers. This was fine because we were mostly just loading product pages and building shopping carts.

Normally for testing checkouts we'd use bogus credit cards like 4111 1111 1111 1111, which passes the LUHN check but is obviously a non-working card so our order would fail.

We had to check the in-store card processing a little differently and would test with the number 123456789, thinking that surely couldn't be a real card number. (You may see where this is going.)

We ended up typing out a lot of addresses so we usually picked one with the first state in our state picker, Alaska. Then we found the shortest city name in Alaska, which is Tok (there's a couple other three letter towns in AK but that's what we usually chose.)

One day, someone decided to check the order history of the account we were using to place those test orders. They noticed a tracking number and clicked on it. We had sent several dresses to 1 A St. in Tok Alaska. It was the longest tracking list I've ever seen with several delays and problems that could only occur when shipping to a fairly remote town in Alaska. (I believe avalanche was one of the listed reasons.)

Sorry to whoever had that card!

It's the same in Poland. I've never had a credit card in my life and honestly I don't feel any need for it. My debit cards work pretty much everywhere around the world, including internet payments (occasionally one card may have a hiccup so I always carry two cards from different banks)

Taiwind CSS is how you get incoherent overall design. Each element is customized to "look" nice but there is no overall architecture and design system. Padding here and padding there, this bold and that bold - visually tuning the entire page to look nice, but lacks a level of design coherency that is achieved best with a classic CSS based approach. You can do it with Taiwind to "remember" standard padding/spacing and Tachyons does it better than Tailwind, but I personally prefer the classic method even though its not as immediate as Tailwind classes inline with HTML.

People are allured by the rapid prototyping aspects of Tailwind which is the main bait. It's pretty fast to see results immediately without openining the css file.

Funny you say that, because I always find myself reverting to emacs and, even after playing with config distros like Spacemacs and Doom Emacs, I've settled on on a severely minimal config with mostly default keybinds, and magit on the side because it is the best interface to git I've ever had the pleasure to use. I also enjoy running linters and test commands in a compilation buffer and hitting 'g' to re-run/refresh it after making changes in the files I'm working on. And the way emacs handles undo/redo feels intuitive to me in a way I can't really explain.

Essentially, I get modality when I want an interface. And the rest of the time, I type.

I still make sure that I know good-enough vim and nano so I can do what I want outside of my own environment.
By how badly they want it?
For me the main reason I prefer emacs is the key bindings are better.

Genuine question, why do you think emacs key bindings are better?
so much this! I started tailwind not particularly liking it but intending only to use the grids which I did find really nice. It ended up taking over all of my css needs because it was so pleasant to use once you got into its way of working.

And yes, I've handrolled my own and used bootstrap and bulma previously.

Artificial Intelligence's First Church (2017)
First point: it's not a cluster.

It's a single server with massive amounts of cache (like 1Gbyte or more of the L3 cache) and optimized everything.

When you login via ssh to your server, each keypress creates an interrupt which is handled by the CPU. If you are using emacs , even on the terminal it might be multiple interrupts due to screen refresh etc.

Mainframe: generate the form or the screen data. Send it. 1 interrupt. Your terminal or terminal program handles everything until you send 1 or more lines (not characters) back. A dedicated processor handles communication with the terminal. It then bundles up whatever the changes are and sends it to the CPU. 1 interrupt.

Disk, network etc. is the same, with dedicated processors on the network card or disk controller that go out and send/retrieve the data without CPU intervention. Database table retrieval: the table is sent to the CPU, already sorted in the requested order. Etc etc.
We use it in production for about a year now. We never had any issues with tailwind or how the markup looks. In the end you put that into meaningful (react) components anyway.

Looking at IRS data, top 1% tax payers in US in 2018 paid 38.5% of the federal income taxes. Bottom 90% paid 28.6%. So I don't think they're as good as hiding their money in the Cayman Islands as you think they are: https://taxfoundation.org/federal-income-tax-data-2021/

In comparison top 10% of the Danish tax payers paid just 31.3% of the total income tax, despite Denmark having rather high taxation (the OECD method that puts it as #1 is controversial, but I pay e.g. a 42% marginal tax rate on any capital gains).
I don't think the author is using "too focused" in the way you're saying that "he was overly prioritizing one aspect over others."

Your contention as I understand it is that this was effectively the author's choice and that he conflating two concerns. There is the choice of whether to open source code and whether to support the code. Nobody was holding a gun to his head and forcing him to support code. Hence his misprioritization is of his own doing.

The author's implied contention is that the two concerns are not independent. That while it may not have been a gun to his head, there are a variety of factors that link the two together.

I'm expanding on that contention and saying that there is valid reason, if you have code on GitHub, to feel a need to support it. It's a trade-off. You can decide the risk is small enough to ignore which is fine, but it's still there.
