This has been very top of mind actually! We have some users who have uploaded a lot of qipaos and aoi dais already. For immigrant women, it's difficult to find any formal cultural wear unless your town has a Chinatown or ethnic stores that cater to it. We want to provide easier access to this inventory, especially for those living in the Midwest/South, who normally would not have as many, if not any, ethnic stores that sell cultural formalwear. Thank you so much for recognizing this need for immigrants!

Gravity and the hope of terraforming.

You’re underestimating the power of inspiration. Saving the planet is dreary business. Colonising a new one is exciting. Those callings motivate different people in different ways. Constraining us to one problem means those who might have been inspired to study chemistry to terraform Mars find it more attractive to go into finance.

> many people and most philosophers claim philosophy is much more than this.

Yes, philosophy is ultimately motivated by the search for truth. (Art, too, if we are talking about something like literature, is motivated by expressing the truth, otherwise it is worthless.)

> Spinoza was convinced he was "engaged in the pursuit of truth", as the article writes, and he probably thought he had built a logical proof of the existence of god [sic]. But his concepts are fuzzy, so his reasoning is unprovable, and his apparent rigorousness is not at all scientific.

Putting aside the question of whether this is true, let us assume it is. So what? This is what philosophical discourse will involve: clarifying what needs clarifying, arguing, counterarguing, etc. Second, you've fallen prey to the mystique surrounding the word "scientific" as if science were somehow more definitive or competent or whatever, or that none of these problems afflict science. And of course, that in itself is a philosophical assertion!

> Many philosophers disagree with his theories, and none of them are wrong or better or worse than Spinoza, since there is no way to refute or evaluate philosophy.

They aren't? That, again, is a philosophical assertion. And the very act of defending it would tacitly presuppose that _your_ philosophical argument is better than Spinoza's, which would make it self-refuting. Because if it's all the same, then so your argument.

> Apart from these points (proof, progress, consensus),

What is a proof? An argument. People disagree over those.

What is progress? You assume there isn't contentious.

How does consensus make something true? (It doesn't.)

> No one would claim to be an expert of a philosopher without reading and studying his book and articles. But, if the substance was more important than the form, it should not matter. One can master Gauss' mathematics or Einstein's physics without reading the original works.

This is neither here no there. The reason an expert on Spinoza should have read Spinoza is because everything that is about Spinoza's work is commentary and all commentary involves interpretation. So, yeah, if you're a scholar of Spinoza, and we have surviving works by Spinoza, it would seem rather odd if you didn't know what Spinoza said and only what others have said about Spinoza. You might disagree. The same would hold if you were a scholar of Einstein. A physicist, however, is not a scholar of Einstein, and as such, is not so interested in what he thought per se, however illuminating the original texts might be.

You gotta love the whataboutism of the nuclear folks ranting about recycling issues of current renewable energy tech when nuclear leaves behind toxic material that has to be kept in a safe place for a long time surviving changes in government, potential revolutions, terrorist attacks, incompetence, greed, etc.

tl;dr: the python lib adds files to the archive sorted by the last modification date by default. this happened to be better in this case, but macOS tar had the same results when using the appropriate sorting flag.

Makes me wonder: considering the speed of modern SSDs, would it make sense for compression tools to try various sortings by default, or compare files up front?
No reason to think it wasn't a reasonably representative sample, however many thousand actually voted.
It's hours, not minutes. Elon Musk ships MWH solutions conveniently packaged as in container form. The largest battery currently being planned is a 1.2GW setup in Australia. That's a big buffer.

Demand for solutions providing power for days simply does not exist currently. Hours is good enough. This business is about providing lots of power quickly.

You are right that they typically are only used for a few minutes to deal with peaks in demand. That's because they are only needed for that long and because you can turn them on and off pretty much instantly. You don't have that choice with traditional solutions like gas plants.

Which is why despite battery cost, this type of battery is very successful at largely removing the need for having peaker plants. It also seems to be very successful at getting rid of blackouts because there were never enough of those peaker plants to begin with in Australia. Another advantage is that you can put these batteries all over the place. Many small installations make up for a lot of aggregate capacity. You can put them in buildings even; and people do.

Musk is also building factories that are producing batteries by the GWH per year per factory and soon TWH per year. He's not alone of course and basically there are quite many other companies now planning their own little GWH production facilities. There are tens of billions being invested in that stuff in the next few years. There will be hundreds or thousands of these factories in a few decades churning out many TWH of storage annually.

That battery capacity is of course mostly intended for the transport sector and not for grid storage.
But if you are worried about having enough storage capacity on the grid, there will be multiple TWH of batteries driving around on roads in most countries by the end of the decade. Basically 2M cars with 50KWH batteries == 1TWH. That's a lot of distributed and mobile storage. All we need to do is plug it in.

Of course there will be more optimal solutions as well. But it's capacity we'll have none the less.

If I compare the two tar archives directly, they seem different

I like the fact that this user considered whether the filesystem was lying about the size.

It's interesting to see the problem-solving approach; my next step would be to hexdump both and see if one isn't actually compressed as much as it could be, then decompress and inspect the tars.

I'm not sure whether it's true here, but one situation that leads to seemingly randomly-ordered files is when the archiver tries to be faster by using multiple threads.

The XZ blocksize is another variable to consider.

Animism sits side by side with metaphysics under philosophy.

>...

When I say meta Without “physics” as a suffix I mean anything from metareligion to metagrassonyourlawn. You can even metameta. I’m saying the legitimacy of talking about metaphysics is different from the legitimacy of say metatoilets.

Animism is a philosophy btw. And it’s still a philosophy to this very day. This isn’t history class that I’m talking about here. If some scientist is wrong about something, that hypothesis is discarded from science. Animism has not been discarded... it is a school of thought discussed side by side with the philosophy of science. This is the category error I’m talking about.

My phrasing: the USA military determines the value of the USA dollar.

I binged on David Graeber last year. I so appreciate criticisms of the Liberal tradition from outside of the Liberal (left vs right) sphere. It's like only being able to appreciate the forest once you get out of the forest.

Anyway. Graeber asks a lot of hard questions. Such as "What is money?" And provides historical precedents which may lead to answers. Like prior relationships between money, currency, debt, empire, military, markets, capitalism.

For a long time, governments minted gold (or whatever) into currency. Then we adopted some kind of virtual currency, so now there's more money than their is actual currency. (Which, humorously, is not first time in history.)

More recently, non government systems like bitcoin are minting electricity into currency. I don't really care that "there's no there there". Meaning the lack of a physical existence (eg gold or unobtainium or whatever) doesn't bother me.

However, I am concerned that there's no big ass military compelling everyone to treat bitcoin as a fiat currency. Until then, bitcoin is just an escrow or collectible.

A very, very fragile escrow.

It feels like the tulip bulb craze. aka Castles in the sky. Bitcoin's preceived value is held up by everyone's belief that they can sell their holdings to the next sucker.

Which is fine. Until it isn't.

What happens when the inevitable shock happens? When there's the equivalent of a run on the bank? When everyone tries to "withdraw" by converting bitcoin to US dollars at the same time?

Who's gonna step in and stabilize the system?

Right now, no one.

So then all that currency, minted bitcoin, just goes up in smoke. Poof.

We've seen this story play out so many times.
Wouldn’t you need something like gvisor and or running under a different user or podman to make this really safe? If you don’t trust the binary they can still just break out the container.
Oh also, we thought of this when we met a user on our platform asking about attire for ice skating competitions! We figured that we can also expand this to competition / performance wear like what you had mentioned. We started talking to some users who perform as ballroom dancers, pianists, etc., and they all told us how expensive these garments are and how difficult it is to find them online. Thank you so much for this recommendation, we really wanna work hard this year to expand to this fully.

I've been using Bitcoin as money(store of value, unit of account, means of payment) as much as possible for the last 5 years.

From the perspective of a "pioneering early adopter", Bitcoin does not seem volatile. Instead, it seems like prices across the board are going down and everything is getting cheaper.

The effect on me is that since my saving is rewarded, I'm now way better at saving. I've stopped making irrational, impulse purchases. I'm far more in tune with my spending.

I'm also able to keep the purchasing power I earn from working. This beats the hell out of losing it slowly.

Volatility hasn't been a problem for me.
Adoption of what?
True, but the trouble is, use of killer robots or suicide drones does not lead to spectacular atrocities. Much like targeted advertising, it works in a pinpoint fashion.

So the moral outrage is likely to be absent, at least compared to things like flattening of Rotterdam by Luftwaffe or Rape of Nanking.

they locked in the bottom up approach. Payments typically isn't something people have deep knowledge about, so management defer to devs to do the research, when that happens devs going to pick the easiest API to work with.
This is pretty much the issues we are seeing more and more with centralized systems relying on automated systems for moderation with no method of appeal.

I'd bet 90% of google accounts banned fall under something like this. And since there is no appeal, that means if you end up banned/peanlized/etc and you aren't rich/influential then you are screwed by a kafkaesque hell.
That's a good point. It seems like unless there's not only a 100% counter-attack success rate but also a 100% missile detonation prevention rate, many/most of the attackers will believe that they'll be entering paradise soon anyway, so even a chance of killing civilians means they likely won't be deterred.

It might deter some percentage, but considering how many people gladly accept certain death, an increased chance of death isn't a big hurdle.
Throwing Taiwan under the bus is hardly the answer either. There needs to be some clarity from the international community about what happens to China if, for example, Taiwan isn’t sovereign.

Sanctions and seized Chinese assets abroad would be a good start. Banning western universities from accepting tuition money from Chinese citizens would also very effectively turn a powerful demographic against the leadership.

Good for you that you found something that works for you. But why the random length restrictions to 4 chars, seems kind of outdated? Also, how does using only a "next" branch for development scale for teams (maybe using a fork-based workflow?).

While I use a similar approach like yours on my personal projects, I still prefer the widely known and battle proven Git-Flow when working on agile teams:

- master
- develop (optional)
- feature/*
- release/*
- bugfix/* (optional)
- hotfix/*
Their livelihoods are under attack, they're going to fight it regardless of the upside of starlink.

Bitcoin is wildly profitable for governments whose citizens hold it. They can tax it as capital gains (when transferred or eventually as part of an estate) which means in the long term they'll get something like 25% of the market cap every 50 years.

Thank you for bringing up the Cantillon effect it is a concise way of describing how QE drives inequality by giving money to the wrong people first.

The problem is that now everyone is focusing on the free money to be had from the stock market. When you think about it the primary way monetary policy helps economies get out of a recession is by giving everyone employment. QE causes massive asset appreciation. In other words it is keynesian gold digging except you are not compensated by how much work you are doing, no, you are compensated based on how many financial assets you already own. That's incredibly backwards because the entire reasoning behind hacks like keynesian gold digging is to give the poorest parts of society money so that they can spend it and revitalize the economy. Poor people don't own lots of Bitcoin or Tesla stocks or whatever else is exploding in price so they never benefit in the first place. However, those who are on the margin with barely enough savings to put into assets will see 3x or even 10x gains and might even decide that this is a better way to spend their time instead of doing productive work.

I have seen people yolo their student loans into GME with this exact reasoning. They do it because they believe they won't have to finish college if they make it.

The underlying issue is credit cards have interchange fees, which aren't going away anytime soon. PayPal offers a slightly lower transaction rate to non-profits (https://www.paypal.com/us/non-profit/fundraising/fundraising...) and Stripe appears to have similar (no rates disclosed; https://support.stripe.com/questions/fee-discount-for-nonpro...) but you're not gonna get to zero with anyone.

There's always accepting checks and cash. Or ACH payments, but each of these will probably cause drop-off in people who'd prefer to use a CC.

I would tend to expect that the ease of donating via CC readily outweighs the fees you'd save by ditching it. I've seen a few charities have a checkbox on the form that says something like "processing this costs us 3%; will you add that much to cover it?"

So in the business use case, you don’t want to forgo the paycheck in light of this. It’s the same relationship dynamic, but in the romantic sense you gain nothing, but in the business sense you rack up cash and tenure at the job, all of which can be flipped going forward (two years at a job, versus one year at a job).

I guess that’s my point. If the relationship is fucked in a pure romantic relationship, you must move on. If the relationship is fucked in the business sense, there is still value in timing your exit.

But if we turn to idealism at any point, we lose our tactical options (eg, I shall speak to the manager of my manager, and the world shall see how right I am). It can be folly.

The survival instinct is not lauded enough. It can take you further if you shift to it, in the worst of situations.
