School gives people a warped sense of time.

Potentially, you will spend the rest of your life learning English.

Learning programming.

They are important.

They are not urgent.

Which is good because they take time.

But there are not going to be tests.

Studying for school is urgent and marginally important in the sense that it is better to study than not.

But the reason it is marginally important to study is that studying is a good habit.

The same with exercise...again a good habit.

Habits last a lifetime.

Learning English or programming are not habits because what happens each day is not repetitious. The repetitious part is the studying which can be a habit. The subject matter will always vary if you are learning.

Lists are helpful only if they are helpful. By which I mean that putting something on the list means it is more likely to be done. "Learn Programming" isn't a list item. But "Write FizzBuzz in Smalltalk" might be.

It's only a list item if sitting down to program for the sake of programming is a habit and if you are interested in Smalltalk enough to write FizzBuzz.

But it is ok if you are not all that interested in doing so. Trying is how you find out. Trying to work-out at the gym is how you find out working out at the gym is not for you, but walking there and back might be your thing and so you take up urban hiking or something like that.

Good luck.

This is neat to look at from a psychological perspective. I bet there's a pretty good correlation between the people who see everyone else go, "yep, works as reported" and decides to try it for themselves anyway, and people who aren't easily convinced by research or science in other subjects.

There is a lot of precedent for this. For example, here's a paper talking about the flu and heart swelling: [0]

> During the Sheffield, England influenza epi- demic from 1972 to 1973, the cases of 50 consecutive patients who were initially diagnosed as mild cases and were treated on an outpatient basis were followed. Transient electrocardiogram (ECG) changes were seen in 18 patients, and long-lasting changes were seen in 5 patients.

It could be that the flu is worse than covid in this regard, the few studies I looked at were surprising/sobering. They were talking for years about "long-flu" after the 1918 pandemic.

Until we have numbers to back it up I would not make the assumption that covid is any worse or different in this regard. Conventional wisdom is that every virus that attacks the body leaves some people with long term lung, heart, and or brain damage.

The article you referenced itself references a paper that has that 10% figure, that many patients who remain unwell beyond three weeks (an example was given of a healthy 40 year old laid low, but back to moderate exercise after 12 weeks). The article you linked to mentioned that a quarter of 18-34 year olds were still affected after 2-3 weeks.

I appreciate the additional numbers, the most impactful that anyone has brought up in this thread. It doesn't change my personal equation, but I appreciate the data. The world is a dangerous place. 18-39 years olds are about 20 times more likely to die of something beside covid [1]. Life goes on.

Morality is predicated on free will in the sense that without free will humans cannot do good or bad things, because if our behavior is entirely deterministic, no action is truly an action and therefore cannot be good or bad.

That still doesn't make an action any less harmful or beneficial just because we don't have free will, nor does it makes examination of morality a pointless exercise.

A Bitcoin-funded military coup. Now that’s sci-fi stuff!
I think the author comes pretty close to what I think is the right answer: on the scale of nations, BTC doesn't matter. It's an experiment. It's not more anonymous than paper currency, and not much more effective at laundering money. Governments aren't worried about it because it isn't really changing anything. If I want to buy a nuke, tank, or a fighter jet, BTC isn't solving the the hard problems related to that (taking delivery of said nuke, tank, or jet without being intercepted). BTC is enabling stoners to buy drugs online, and frankly, governments aren't that worried because stoners were already buying drugs.

I also don't think it's so much as "governments don't care about people storing wealth" so much as "it's not storing wealth." It's not worth as much as you think it is, and it's not that good at storing wealth (I will accept that it may be a decent high-risk opportunity for growth). The current $1 trillion market cap is calculated by assuming all of the 18.65 million BTC ever mined could be sold at the current asking price. But they can't be, because the order books aren't that deep and never will be, plus there are a lot of mined BTC that are in wallets with lost keys. It's probably still worth more than some small countries, but BTC definitely isn't worth $1 trillion. And when you consider BTC as a store of wealth, gold is a way better choice. I don't want my store of wealth to be experiencing gargantuan shifts in value over a few weeks.

It might sound like I'm shitting on BTC. I'm not, I think it's a cool experiment. I like the idea of being able to transfer money to friends without fees, and I'm glad that crypto helps keep banks honest. It was certainly novel. If I were to shit on anyone, it would be cryptocurrency bros that are full of themselves and think that their one thing is going to turn the world upside down. I'm for BTC as long as people don't get too hung up about it and instead we see BTC as helping us figure out ways to do financial things better.

This is quite a privileged comment. Please realize that not everyone has the luxury to up and leave.

This person might have tons of obligations, such as bills to pay, family to take care of, and depending on their location not much mobility to just "find a new job". It's weird to just discount an entire person's life and pretend there's such an easy solution they're not taking.

What's more, it reeks of survivorship bias. There's likely a good chunk of folks who have done what you did but failed (either due to bad luck, or something else). What's more, the price of failure differs for everyone. Some have family to fall back on, others have friends, and others have a societal safety net.

Empathy is hard, but please try and think about how your situation is likely not the norm. By all means feel free to give advice, but try to leave out anecdotal assumptions. Strive to be aware that not everyone has the same opportunities or outcomes, even with the same inputs. It sucks, but that's just life, as you said.

Unrelated to the issue in the post, but a few years back we ran into an annoying oddity in the Python zipfile module [1].

By default, when you create a new zipfile object to create a .zip archive with, it stores the data uncompressed.

Only noticed the issue when a 100MB zip file suddenly became 3MB after I had edited one of the files and re-saved the archive.

> One thing I never really see brought into the nuclear energy equation that's fairly environmentally bad is uranium mining.

If you are going to make that argument, then you need to make the same about the materials and fuels involved in other electricity generation methods as well, and things get complicated rather quickly e.g. offshore turbines use a fair amount of neodymium and dysprosium, thin-film solar panels need tellurium, cadmium, and indium, … and many of these rare earths or elements are either often contaminated with radioactive elements (which end up in tailings) or are produced as part of (and ecologically indistinguishable from) other mining operations e.g. tellurium from copper and cadmium from zinc.
But all the components of an iPhone can technically be recycled to one degree or another (even if they aren't at present). Once a satellite has been incinerated, that's it.

I think you're proving my point unintentionally. If you're at the point where the relationship isn't working out, it's actually in everyone's best interest for you to break up and date other people. If you were happy, you wouldn't be looking. You became unhappy because you were unfulfilled in the relationship, because what you were looking for was something the other person could not provide, or vice versa. What is the virtuous thing to do? Is it to silently stew and settle, or is it to ask for what you want, and if you don't get it and think you can find it elsewhere, leave to do so? The answer is obvious.

All the other stuff you mention about "never look[ing] at them the same again" is more related to your ego, sense of insecurity and lack of self awareness more than anything. Once you pare those away, the objective truth is incompatibility. It doesn't have to be emotional unless you let it.
There used to be! In the U.S., the top marginal tax rate was 90% or higher from 1944 to 1963 and was 70% or higher from 1918 to 1920 and 1936 to 1980.

For the past few decades, the top tax rate has been extremely low. People have paid much higher tax rates without revolting or leaving the country.

Alternative explanations:

1. BTC is a proxy for gold and greatly relieves pressure on gold prices and the money-center banks and sovereigns accumulating/trading gold.

2. BTC circumvents capital controls in countries where those with the power to stop BTC are using it move funds into free market economies; and those free market economies are happy to see the outflows from adversarial regimes.

3. BTC (and crypto in general) expands global liquidity without the need to print even more USD/EUR/RMB.

4. A failure/crash of BTC - should it occur - would result in a flight to USD/US Treasuries and the like. If you're looking for a possible conspiratorial outcome - look here.

5. Massive money supply growth has laid bare the need for an alternative currency, and even USGOV/EU/CCP recognizes the need.

It’s trivial to require all businesses not to touch transactions involving a list of addresses.

This should work both ways then.

Nope. Don't think so. But maybe making everything about race is, well, racist?

Sure, but that's nothing new. When I was younger I worked in a big corp type job. After a few weeks I noticed this older guy would go play tennis at lunch a few times/week, and then take a nap under his desk afterwards. Normally, he would then leave around 3pm. One day after this happened, I ask someone what's this guys deal. Turns out, he's the only one who knew how to work on system XYZ. Others had some vague idea in case this guy was hit by a bus, but he did 99.9% of the work on this system. Also turns out, it didn't need a lot of work done.

Fyi... not mentioned explicitly in that Q&A is the related concept : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_compression

[EDIT to reply] : >The difference was just the order in which the files were concatenated.

Yes, right. My link just emphasizes the files concatenation aspect (e.g. tar is one example) for people who base the intuition on the ZIP format in which files' order doesn't matter because each file is compressed separately.
There was a 91-92% top marginal tax rate 70 years ago, and there wasn't a mass exodus or revolt.

People with incomes that high have too much to lose in a revolution. Also, part of being filthy rich is living wherever you want without having to worry about the cost, which is why most rich people live in the most expensive locales in first world countries.
If democratic western countries increase taxes, then it may be the will of the majority of the people, given that they have the power of governance via elections.
If someone wants to kill you, and has a gun, not only can they do so from a distance, but it was invented for that purpose. Stabbing someone is more of an act of opportunity I'd wager, and in a lot of circumstances you'd be less likely to die, therefore reducing deaths.

> Sure all the big companies that relied on dhcpcd will rewrite it.

Unlikely. dhclient works just fine and carrying a fork of dhcpd will work just fine.

You’re missing my point. When you work on open source and end up with millions to billions of users, everything you do ends up having a huge monetary impact (guess how much Roy’s bugs have cost the economy in lost time). However, that’s just a side effect of software, not you being some unsung hero.

Tons of people need software that does X. Once one or two people have an open source solution to X, people can just use that and move on. That’s a good thing but it doesn’t mean that those one or two people are critical to anything. If they quit, fail, whatever, downstream dependencies will just swap and move on.
> If it came down to it, and central banks felt a digital currency posed enough of a threat, they would happily incentivize (or mandate) usage of their own currency in order to maintain sovereign monetary policy.

They already do mandate it which is why they don't see it as a threat. It's called taxes, fees, and fines. In the US you can only pay those in dollars so there's your demand for their own currency.
