yeah, people talk about "lottery-like stocks" in the academic literature on investor behavior. it's a standard term.

i think the idea is that people buy lottery tickets or scratch cards for the same reason they do these stocks, it's a form of gambling entertainment.

It's trivial. Just say any is pure speculation of thin air and you'll be right. There's no sense in the currently existing crypto currencies. They're all fiat money.

Peter Schiff was right back then...

Kubernetes might follow the sad path of spring.

Perfect, complete and too complex.

For big and great applications, spring if the obvious choice. It makes incredible complex and difficult things easy.

But, unfortunately, makes simple and quick applications incredible complex and difficult.
The Elementary OS blog also links to sellers of Linux-only computers [1] [2]. I might start recommending these to friends who are tired of Windows but also wary of Apple’s ecosystem.

That’s because all of those things are predominantly traded due to their underlying utility. Like lotteries, which have no utility other than taxes and speculation, crypto currencies are almost entirely valuable as tools for speculation.

>> The process of building an MVP includes the process of figuring out distribution. <<

Maybe I'm being picky here but I disagree a little bit with this. At the start, your MVP might just have been for you i.e. to scratch an itch you have and it is only later that you think about getting other people to use/pay for it. So maybe your above statement will (should??) apply if your MVP was targeted for the public

Yes! And I think that's great! When I posted a job here a few years ago I included the salary too. I'd love to see more companies adopting the same.
Ahh yes, arguing about semantics.
Same goes for Scala, where those Kotlin features come form originally.
We missed the train on MSFT, AAPL, TSLA, etc. as well. Are those pyramid schemes in your eyes, too?
This is particularly true of rap.
You're absolutely right. Poets play with words, sounds, and ideas. And extracting the meaning shouldn't be your first aim - perhaps it should be enjoying the sound and the cadence and the imagery.

Consider the first stanza of Keats' Ode to a Nightingale:

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44479/ode-to-a-nighti...

A few things that you'll probably pick up with no effort at all:
1) the puzzlement of what "Lethe" is or what it even means
2) the joke of calling your mouth a "drain"
3) the cleverness of "being too happy in thine happiness"
4) the way the long third sentence keeps going and going, ending in the release of singing, just like a bird flies, sits on a branch, and sings "with full-throated ease"

At a first read, the poem is delightful to me just because it speaks of the happiness of a bird and the unhappiness of being human. The musicality is so lovely I want to memorize it, and bring it out whenever I see a bird or want to sing like one or fly like one.

And then you can read the reams of analysis people have drawn from this poem.
Or you can work with people constructively and respect them rather than viewing this as a "conflict" where one needs to assert themselves.
Your quote precisely supports what I explained - i.e. there is some likelyhood that China will try to seize control of Taiwan.

What it doesn’t say, is anything about the US starting something.

It’s totally absurd to consider Taiwan to be like a US state such as Texas.

For that to be a valid comparison, Texas would need to have a treaty with China where China had agreed intervene militarily to protect Texas from US federal government control.

You must know this is an absurd comparison.
I like Kotlin coroutines and I've used them, but they (this argument is controversial) have a function colouring problem. As the JVM adds virtual threads I expect that a rebasing of Kotlin's coroutines will remove that objection.

Plus, sometimes, I want to use Java.

Oh no, please don't start with the magical hallway conversations. I've never had a worthwhile conversation in a hallway or microkitchen, ever. This argument needs to die.

What? Plenty of crypto projects have real utility. Also for a counterpoint: commodities such as gold and other precious metals are predominantly traded as speculative vehicles.

From the Wikipedia article you referenced to:

IF there are 10-20k "people like you" making the "not really selfish" choice, they're doing as much harm as the person who drives 10-20k miles a year.

It's about network effects. The more people we get to make the more eco-friendly choice, the better the place gets for all of us.
Is this sort of a precursor for classifying cryptocurrency as a lottery and therefore making it a subject of strict regulation?
You're getting crazy down voted, instead people should reply.
Such posts very rarely appear on front page, maybe 0.1% of them.
The commenter brought up Critical Race Theory (or at least 'Critial Theory') I was responding to that.

You're making my point for me:

Every portrayal of society reinforces the norms in that society.

So it's not 'scholarship' (or even relevant) to point it out the possibilities.

In fact, to avoid talking about the more material issues, and to go right into indirect fuzzy issues of feminism is 'anti scholarship'.

Not only that - it's probably false - as I pointed out, 'bad feminists' lament Barbies and more anatomically correct dolls at the same time, literally for opposite reasons.

It's speculative ideological rubbish. If a 'gender theory' researcher actually wants to do some research and put some sound logic together, that's find, but otherwise it's just politics.
Your first paragraph misses the diagnosis a little bit your prescription is correct.

The problem isn’t specific to SSNs. Most authentication of users in the public sector in the USA is done by knowledge of facts, whereas it should require proof of government ID card (preferably with digital certificate, not just knowledge of the ID number)
Well that is why they write GO right ;)
I agree with your points here, but just want to add that, while Java's generics are better than the non-existent generics in Go, I still find Java's type system to be really subpar for today's era.

The type system is not strong or expressive enough to do full type erasure, but then we're stuck with type-erased generics, so it's just incredibly frustrating.

tl;dr: Every single sentence in your comment is untrue.

An IFR of 0.17% is not even wrong.

That would result in at least 10 states in the US itself to have had more cases than their population [0]. Assuming 100% infection rates, the minimum IFR looks to be at least 0.3%.

Also, no flu season ever has crossed even 70,000 deaths [1]. So I have no idea where your numbers are coming from. In fact, the excess mortality in the US till October 2020 was close to half a million. And that was the before the worst of the December peak when 4,000 people were dying daily.

Not quite, because in this case the 50,000 listeners do exist. It's just that 45,000 of them are shills paid by the radio station. But if the advertising contracts didn't exclude for that, then there's no grounds to complain.
You won't get a useful answer from most doctors unless they have a specialization in bariatrics or similar. Better general advice for going to 1200 is "ask your registered dietician."

I read the article, but I feel like I still missed the point. Why are they preventing the fish from just swimming through on their own? Is this only to raise local awareness or is there some benefit I missed for the fish?
All the while they'll capture videos of the rich politicians making the legislation at parties and get togethers at high-end establishments.
Is this for a personal server or for a server that is being used by a paying client? If the latter, doesn't it make sense to have an oncall rotation with someone else on your team?
It's not ducks, but the annual Crane migration you can see in several (ideal) areas across central Nebraska is a game changer.
It is probably very similar when it is stocks that are nearing bankruptcy or otherwise have horrid fundamentals.

If the stocks do have fundamentals and the PE ratio makes sense relative to the growth factor, then it isn't pure gambling.

Which crypto projects are providing real utility to people outside the crypto space?

I can think of using bitcoin for remittances or drug purchases, but other than that I have trouble thinking of compelling examples.
Thanks everyone for pointing that and other problems, just made some corrections.

> which won't be changed by any further changes in the parent process.

You can attach to a process and call setenv in gdb, so there is a loophole somewhere.

I'm not encouraging this, just pointing out that having a nice binary which reads config, cli, and environment once is still required. Regardless of how you pass that information into your binary.
I learned Perl in the mid 90s and it was a revelation. You could do so much with it so easily. But by the mid 00s I was working to phase it out whenever I saw it, because of several factors, some identified here already:

* poor language support for building complex programs or data structures... it was possible but never easy.
* the stdlib: compared to PHP, Python, and Ruby, Perl offered very little built-in, which means that the next item was even more critical:
* CPAN: was extremely difficult to automate and extremely flaky compared to the alternatives, RubyGems in particular.

And yes, Perl6, which for a long time prevented Perl5 updates entirely. They got past that, but it was too late. I think the uncertainty guaranteed no one was going to invest in pushing for the needed improvements to CPAN either (tho maybe they’ve happened, I haven’t even tried in a decade).
I'm constantly surprised by how many people seem to forget that Tim Cook got to where he is on the basis of being a supply chain logistics whiz.

If there's anything I expect Apple to excel at, almost without question, under his leadership, it's supply chain management.
