Force and the threat of force scales incredibly well. The question is just how refined your mechanism for applying it is.

Economically, the United States is the most effective country. It got to where it is through a genocide, and it enforces the rules of its economy by threatening force all the way to deadly force in every single commercial interaction, in the interactions of property, and even in the data you're allowed to read and share. Property is the basis of American society and the basis of property is force.

The international order is a farce. It's main enforcer, the United States, is not a signatory to half of what it purports to enforce, and violates international law whenever it is convenient.

The nation state order is different from the international order, and is based on the coalescing of national power into an entity with the monopoly of violence.

At every single level, the current order is based on force. It exists because the mighty wanted it to exist and because it is an efficient way to organize power, not because it's right or even because it's an useful set of rules to apply to every situation.

Really, it's mostly a tool to spin narratives and make the use of force more efficient.
Maybe you should consider pivoting from accounting to software in a controlled manner. That is try to progress towards software development positions where accounting know-how is required. Good luck.
Computing generally implies even temporary storage, doesn't it? If not then you are correct. Even so, I would be wary of allowing my own equipment to be used for purposes that I did not explicitly approve of. Who's to say my equipment could not be used in legal but distasteful (to me) ways, by companies I'd never otherwise do business with? I don't think that it would be reasonable to trust any distributed computing for hire company to honor my wishes when it came to those things. If history has taught us anything, especially when it comes to computers, it is that the almighty dollar rules over all else.
Weird, when I looked I couldn't get one...maybe the site wasn't finished updating yet.
While valve is indeed quite neglectful, the reason they're "behind" on anticheats is because they don't run extremely invasive ones like EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) or Vanguard (what Valorant uses). These operate exactly like malware/rootkits that you just have to trust. Blegh. Even if I wanted to run those (I do not), they don't work on linux anyways.

So I'll stick to cs:go and tf2 community servers, thanks.
Perhaps you'd be interested in TUSD on SCRT[0] (or any bridged stablecoin) that can be wrapped in SNIP-20[1]. As far as I know this is as private as you'll get when it comes to a stablecoin.

Partisia[2] (currently in beta) and Tari[3] could provide something similar.

> The Arch Wiki is alright if you run Arch

No, it's pretty broadly useful; I've used it on at least Ubuntu, Fedora, and centos. It helps that Arch is pretty close to upstream, so docs are usually pretty generic.

I can't disagree about offline docs and the extraordinary quality of BSD manpages, though:)
> They also are afraid to switch to a service like Signal because "no one is there."

I've been thinking about this a bit, and I'm going to stop short of asking people to switch, and just try to get them to install it (and maybe even get them to casually suggest their friends do the same, if the opportunity arises). It's a hopefully small, risk-free step to take, and the more people that have installs, the more likely it is that "no one is there" will start becoming not true, even if not immediately.
Because treaties like JCPOA aren't based on trust, they're based on verification. Trust, in the sense you're describing it (the way a person might trust another based on their past behaviour) doesn't really exist between nation states.

And Iran is very incentivized to develop nuclear weapons. North Korea's bargaining position wrt to the U.S. improved immensely once they demonstrate a nuclear weapon; Pakistan and India have both enjoyed much less superpower pressure because they also have nukes. And more immediately, Israel has nukes and are Iran's primary regional rival. Israel has been a dominant regional entity largely because of it's military superiority over everyone else, which includes its nukes. Iran obtaining nukes is a potent counterweight to Israel's perceived freedom of military action.
Good article, thanks.

I'm currently reading The DynamoDB Book, and even it's author acknowledges that DynamoDB is serverless more as a byproduct and shouldn't be used for that reason alone

But as a product developer all these highly integrated AWS services that can be provisioned with CloudFormation are pretty convincing.

What's Fauna's IaC story?
Iran doesn't want the world to believe it's nuclear ambitions are peaceful. The threat of (and actual) progress towards a nuclear weapon is their negotiating power.

Iran doesn't need to build "trust" with the rest of the world. (Almost) everyone agrees that they were followed through on their commitments. What Iran needs is to maintain credability. Without that, the international community would walk all over them. Iran offered to keep following the JCPOA even after the US so blatantly voided it. They just needed the rest of the world to make up the difference. When this didn't happen (again, because the US flexed its muscles to make it not happen) Iran had no way to maintain credability without resuming their nuclear program.

In more concrete terms, Iran would still need to negotiate another treaty, only this time they would need to make additional consessions. A few years later, the rest of the worlds backs out of the new treaty and forces Iran to make another set of concessions.

> After laying their intentions bare like this, why should anyone trust them with JCPOA 2.0?

Because they complied with JCPOA 1.0. And JCPOA 2.0 would likely include monitoring. And we can reimpose sanctions quickly if Iran is found to be in violation.
On the other hand, leaders in Iran would need to answer the same questions; only they will be faced with much worse answers. Their counter parties did not follow through on JCPOA 1.0. And rebuilding a nuclear program takes longer than reimposing sanctions.

It is easy to get stuck in the mindset that we are the only players. But geopolitics is a game; and our enemies get to make moves too.
Yes, if you're doing that. Which is why I said "if you're staying within the Arduino ecosystem"

I've been programming embedded systems for-fricking-ever and even I stay with Arduino libraries if I can get away with it for non-critical projects simply because it's easier.
Seems like an oddly specific critique. The paper here doesn’t concern itself with timeseries specifically (nor spatial, spatiotemporal, etc).
Imagine having to do 10 year studies on any drug before releasing it.
> can they also copy anything suspicious in "plain view", like whatever is brought by a simple search on the hacked Exchange?

If it isn’t passively visible, it is not, by definition, in plain view. If they have to do a search, however simple, beyond what is explicitly authorized in the warrant, to find the information or to find whatever would give them probable cause to believe it is contraband or evidence of crime, they can neither seize it nor get a search/seizure warrant based on their observation of it under the plain view doctrine.
Other than btrfs, what's nontraditional? It's GNU/Linux with glibc and a RPM-based package manager.
This is a great point.

When I say based on shared values and contexts, I mean at the community level.

So for a community where people discuss Harry Potter books, many members are not going to want to be careful about everything they say for fear of spoiling someone else's experience. But some people might want to experience reading the books for the first time with other people in the same boat as them.

If this community was well managed, they might solve this by:

- Writing into the community guidelines that spoiler tags only need to be used when discussing something that's NEW.

- Users have the ability to have spoiler content hidden/shown by default. The key here is that the definition of what a spoiler is, is still defined by the community, not the individual.

- Creating a separate area within their community for new readers to chat about the books, where discussion about events in future books is not allowed.

By joining the community, and agreeing to the community guidelines, you are agreeing to abide by an objective definition for what's appropriate within that community.

If you don't agree with those guidelines, you probably don't want to join that community. But without any shared guidelines, you do trend towards anarchy. Certain topic/niches will approach it faster than others.
Last time I met John Maddog, he had a similar idea, already implemented and the whole "ecosystem" used it's own cryptocurrency. Project Cauã or something. Because I can't seem to find new news, I'm guessing that it's perhaps going downhill.
I have a solid conception of judaism, I've lived in places with thriving jewish communities my entire life, and am sephardic-descended myself.

> it's as difficult if you were trying to get citizenship coming from any other country

Nope, it's more so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_and_Entry_into_Isr...

In general, I am opposed to ethnostates and granting nationality based on what bloodline you come from. I think it is ironic that there is a right of "return" for Jewish people, but no such right of return for people who were displaced during the Nakba.

It never ceases to amaze me just how short memories are in the west.

Edit: The only enemy Iran ever had in the ME was Iraq, the decade long war between them was the stuff of nightmares. They sent tens of thousands of child soldiers into trench war fare, to be gassed by Saddam, and run over mines.

You might be shocked at just how few Iranian citizens consider Israel to be an enemy.

> As for Vietnam, it is an interesting case, and we don't have enough data to rule out cross reactivity or other factors playing a role.

They took shit seriously and everyone prepared the minute news reached them of a possible pandemic. A good friend of mine is from VN and he was shipping PPE back home to his parents around August or October of 2019.

I think most Americans don't realize how common pandemics have been in east Asia. To them, it's like preparing for any other natural disaster. It's like comparing the Michiganders response to a blizzard to that of Texans.
Because Typescript eventually won that race? (The race to be a fine, typed and sane counterpart to Javascript).

Somehow Typescript convinced people from the Javascript side of the fence that they could mix both and eventually upgrade from it. While Dart also tried the same feat, it failed doing so.

Nowadays Dart is only being considered to anything because the team behind it are top-notch and implemented themselves a platform where Dart could be the king.

Giving their talent they were able to create a great platform, where they would made even more success if they used Javascript or Typescript as a development language. But giving they wanted to save all their years of work on Dart, and giving its not a bad technology per-se, it just had a adoption problem, Dart lives on Flutter.

If you want to use Flutter go for Dart, but picking Dart to anything outside Flutter will just alienate the developer crowd as giving even Typescript is some sort of a niche language in terms of adoption, nevermind forcing people to learn Dart.

> Other than its native raid 5/6 story what major features is it lacking in comparison to zfs?

For example, native at-rest encryption. dm-crypt/luks is adequate, but has significant performance problems[0] on many-core hardware with highly concurrent storage (NVMe) due to excessive queuing and serialization. You can work around these things by editing /etc/crypttab and maybe sysctls.conf, but the default is pretty broken.

I disagree. I found a lot of value in my realtor learning what we were looking for in a house and only showing me the ones he thought we would like. Some things can't be reduced to search terms.

Now, whether or not that's worth the high percentage they skim off the top is a whole 'nother question.
If this was a public rollout I'd be more inclined to agree but as a opt in beta for a limited number of users who explicitly opted in to provide feedback this is less of an issue.

The future volatility of MobileCoin is to be seen. Past performance is not indicative of future performance and whatnot.

Wether they should have used a test net, MobileCoin should have only released a limited portion of the coins or whatnot is another question entirely.
Like the previous version, they picked a generation old Ryzen chip and then they package it with slower and less ram and disk space than the Intel SKUs. Zen2 in this is still pretty good, but Zen3 came out 6 months ago at this point.
I find it amusing that they call their wired headphones "Modern USB Headset" while it uses a USB Type-A port, which was released 24 years ago.
Any suggestions on how to test CORS properly?

Hi. I’m an actual socialist. I think it’s also harmful to any cause limiting the power and harm of capitalism to treat all capitalists as if they have identical behavior and preferences. Apple is surely a giant corporation with several horrible business practices and undue power. But knowing how they behave is important. They’re often accused of tactics that their corporate peers engage, because the outcomes look similar. Planned obsolescence is one of the most common accusations. But they generally provide more support for device longevity in the spaces they compete.

They just don’t provide products full of modular junk. They mostly try not to serve the junk market altogether. And sure, that skews their prices higher, and limits what you can do after buying the device. But they’re serving mostly mid-high end markets who would rather pay more than repair or replace. People who voluntarily accept the limitations they place on their devices.

A better criticism of their place in the market is how they distort “externalities”. Manufacturing labor costs and treatment, mining impact. The places they are renowned for outplaying every competitor.

That’s where their abuse lies. They don’t care if you swap out a battery, they just don’t care if you can either. They care about offering consumer-luxury products no one else can. If you follow that money, it’s their supply chain who hurts, not their clientele.
I think this is a spotify labs type of thing
From the perspective of western peers like Australia, NZ, Germany, France, or the UK, the American right is rather extreme, and the American left is rather moderate in its energy, economic, civil, and ecological and climate politics.
It seems incredibly likely that such a product would be reserved for the highest end models for example the MacBook Pro and Mac Pro starting at 2400 and 6k respectively and would be properly compared to high end laptops that like the example don't exist yet.

It's nice to see the CPU space heating up in recent years.
That's an apples to oranges comparison though. Upstash couples durability with consistency/isolation. Regardless of configuration, FaunaDB and DynamoDB both always ensure durability of acknowledged writes with a fault tolerance of greater than 1 node failure. To compare them on equal footing, Upstash would need to be configured for strong consistency, at least according to the docs.

While SPLITting a string into an array is useful, JOINing array elements to create a string is also useful.

> Why not trying ARM like Apple did?

They did. Several times. People turned their noses at them because they couldn't install outside of their app store or their garbage x86 apps directly. The models that did offer x86 compatibility over ARM performed poorly.

Apple can get away with segmentation because people will still buy Apple products because they're Apple products. Microsoft's own brand doesn't carry the same fashionable prestige, so minor annoyances on Macbooks become dealbreakers on Surface.

Of course they haven't stopped. They must maintain a conflict to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and the West, and they will only allow for peace if Ukraine stops trying.

Who Ukraine wants to align with is Ukraine's choice as a matter of fact, and as a matter of fact where Russia puts its troops is also it's choice.

You can't compare Ukraine with Cuba or Venezuela. This is as if, after Mexico had joined the Soviet Union, Canada was about to do so as well. It's a core Russian national interest. No matter how Russia is structured, it simply won't ever allow NATO to share a border with it. The West invaded Russia on average every 40 years since the start of the 19th century, and just three decades ago American intervention in Russia led to the death of millions. There is no comparison, from the Russian perspective this is a matter of survival, they perceive that if NATO is able to surround Russia they will use this tactical advantage to ruin the country.

Should Ukraine in theory be able to join NATO? Morally, you may very well feel that way. But in the world of real politics, you cannot always chose the moral action unless you are a Hegemon. Otherwise, millions of people will suffer. It's just how it is. And unlike you were claiming, it has nothing to do with some ideals of national identity or manifest destiny, it's simply a cold geopolitical calculation that concludes that Ukraine in NATO is unacceptable and will probably in the long run lead to mass misery.

> just like they allowed Overwatch to take from TF2's player base back in 2016

Overwatch isn't really taking TF2's crowd though. On the surface they're similar, but mechanically they are worlds apart. Overwatch is highly polished; TF2 is downright clunky by comparison. But it allows custom servers and player scripting/mods. Blizzard is far too tight-fisted for that to realistically happen for Overwatch. TF2 also has all kinds of interesting movement mechanics due to the source engine, that overwatch just really doesn't have. Overwatch's format of merely 6-person teams means you can't really goof around like you can with TF2's 12 and 16-person teams.

I'm sure a lot of players checked out overwatch but didn't stop playing TF2 as they're simply very different games. TF2 also did release major updates albeit infrequently until the jungle inferno update back in ~2017. Now it's just radio silence apart from small seasonal updates.

I'm not as familiar with CS (only played a few dozen cs:go matches), but just from playing both that and valorant I feel like it's going to be a similar situation. Valorant is more polished but it just plays wildly different due to the player abilities.

Valve is neglectful regarding these games (look at how DotA 2 is treated by comparison), but I doubt trying to compete would've helped very much.
Keyboard and chassis isn't waterproof on Macbooks, thus, the common argument for glued in batteries on other Apple devices (iPhone) in that it aides with waterproofing is rendered moot when it comes to Macbooks.
Thanks, shot you an email and can't wait to do some whale watching!
Interesting to find out if this is again correlated to blood type. Type O has a lower risk of clots from COVID in general, thought to be related to the amount of von Willebrand factor in the blood:

"...since the ACE2 receptor belongs to the renin-angiotensin system (it regulates blood pressure), the virus cannot but affect the blood vessels. Apparently, it is capable of causing local inflammation of the walls of blood vessels and capillaries. This results in an increased release of VWF into the blood, which, in turn, provokes clotting."

This title is misleading. Obviously he had food and water--otherwise he would be dead.
The simplest tool is to just grep for various constructs that copy or allocate. Clippy, the Rust linter, will find some of these (as well as other issues, some of which tend to cause performance problems).

The better tool is to profile the code, then optimize hotspots. There's a Rust Performance Book with a list of profilers known to work with Rust programs[1]. Rustc does support Profile Guided Optimization[2] which is often pretty good at speeding up the output even without any code changes.

Water resistance =/= waterproofing.

Also, the keyboard and chassis in a Macbook are neither water resistant or waterproof.
