I'd argue that this is also an systemic issue, that can not exhaustively be thought about on the level of just an economic model (of supply and demand), but has to be scrutinized on a broader scope. (Epistemic, historical, sociological, psychologically etc.)
Reproductive labor (actual birthgiving as well as carework, sustaining the potential to work in the bodies), has for the most time been thought to be just given by the "nature" of women. Even early Marxsim excluded reproductive work, as the precondition of all productive labor from its aspirations.

But what does eg. Germany, Korea, Japan have to gain from Crypto activity?

What does humanity have to gain generally, with an increasing share of our energy and chip manufacturing output going towards an essentially pointless activity?

Why not more individual action, like India has taken?

Healthcare in Canada is mediocre at most. Every single time me or my family need it, it's either a few months in waiting lists or "take Tylenol" treatment after few hours in ER.

And it gets worse every year - right now it's a real problem to find a pediatrician or a family doctor in my area.

I don't understand why Canadians are so obsessed with it and bring it up every time what someone dares to criticize their country.

Hey, you do live in America :-)
You're missing out. If nothing else, you have to watch North By Northwest, but there are so many great Cary Grant movies, it's hard to pin down a "must watch" list. Everything from Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House through That Touch of Mink and onto Charade or To Catch A Thief and dozens more in between. And my all-time favorite, Father Goose. And I've left out some of his best ones; those are just the ones that spring to mind that weren't necessarily mentioned in the article (there are plenty in there, too).

Seriously, do a search for best Cary Grant movies and go seek some out; even though nobody can agree on the order of said lists, everyone agrees which movies should be on there.

No, CloudFormation just postpones resource deletions towards the end of stack operations to allow successful operation rollbacks. Even the default replacement strategy is creating the new resource before deleting the old resource whenever possible for this reason:

That doesn't seem like a crazy-high number. If there used to be 100k tigers at any one time, mostly before the problem of too-damn-many-humans, 20k T-Rexes doesn't seem like a stretch. I wonder how broad their range was.

Even with nss_resolve, you still have to have /etc/resolv.conf correctly populated, because some apps will ignore gethostbyname() and just parse resolv.conf and do DNS by themselves. For example, golang stdlib does that (but to the credit of golang runtime, it checks whether nsswitch.conf is in expected state and falls back to glibc if it is not).

Some apps go even further and do their DNS entirely on their own (Firefox DoH controversy).

nsswitch however doesn't just configure mechanism for public resolver, it is a hook where alternate mechanisms like nss-mdns or nss-mymachines can hook up.
The government subsidies on corn pushes Iowa farmers to produce more than normal (depleting the soil faster) and sell their corn regardless of the market price. This is mostly done at the behest of other industries and huge food corporation lobbyists. It's a perverse economic incentive to say the least. I don't disagree with your conclusion, but I also don't think there's a bright line between corn subsidies and Iowa somehow playing kingmaker in the caucuses.

Because it is a different colour, meaning that all the training you received learning focussed on different shades of pink no longer applies. Darker skin means the symptoms you are looking for are lower contrast and a different colour. It’s a simple case of repeating all that training against different skin colours.

It’s often difficult for someone trained exclusively with pale skin to recognise something as obvious as sunburn on darker skin, for example.

Yes, a lot.

Personally, I've been trimming my positions slowly over the last 3 months. And I will continue to do so. With basically every single day I can justify any of these prices less and less. We'll see what happens. Either it's gonna be hyperinflation, or it's gonna be a huge historical correction, for sure it'll be interesting (or maybe it'll just continue with slight hiccups and nothing of significance will happen within the next decade?).

I am not an economist, and really, I have no clue. But for sure I won't be fomoing into something that I can't justify price for.

I don't know of the specifics of Epic's case to that there's this pedantic distinction of "first-class vs. non-first class" third party App Store alternatives. So I suppose I lied about knowing about the case, because I am clearly ignorant of its specifics. Which reinforces my point that Epic is irrelevant to this discussion, because I don't care about the details of what they're arguing for, merely the principle that "Apple should open up and allow third party app stores."

So yes, perhaps I lied, but you are wrong about what lie, because I honestly do not care about Epic to examine their case in detail, merely that they escalated the debate about Apple's openness into the realm of legal scrutiny. If I was wrong in claiming that "no one is arguing for this" and I was wrong because Epic is in fact doing so, and then you accuse me of lying of being aware of the existence of Epic's lawsuit but not of its specifics, then call me a liar for all of the good it does to your position.

20k seems unlikely low, even as a median. A population that small would be difficult to sustain for that long through variations in climate, resources, ecosystem, and evolutionary competition.

Every single (50ish) one I did was offside.
My understanding is that the offside rule is based on where the players' feet are, but based on this VAR is doing it based off of any body part. Do I have the rule right? Or is the VAR bad at distinguishing feet from other body parts?

In any case, well done! In North American sports, there's a push to use a similar sort of system in baseball for calling balls/strikes, I'd be curious to compare my judgement against the computer system they're testing in some minor leagues.

An insider trade like this isn't about managing risk and things expiring worthless, it's about maximizing expected value while not making it too sus.

If you bought a deep itm call, it would behave almost exactly like owning a share. The stock goes up 5% , your call goes up 5% + 1% let's say for the increased iv.

If you felt like there was a 75% chance it would go up 5% and a 25% chance it goes flat or down, then your best expected value would be buying a otm call. The math would look something like ev= .75 * 400% + .25 * -100%

And even then, nobody holds an option that went the wrong way to 0, so the -100% term would be less as well.

If you look at the numbers 50% of TSMC's revenue is made up by the 5nm and 7nm as of 2021. And just one company, Apple, makes up 25% of TSMC's revenue. While the M1 is a great chip - it also just launched and Apple has been one fourth of TSMC's revenue for years. This means that around 40 to 50% of the top performance nodes suitable for general purpose use in data centers, workstations, etc. is being used for mobile devices -> mostly phones and tablets.

On one hand I have to thank Apple for pushing semiconducter development and making ARM a real x86 replacement outside the DC. However, it seems really wasteful and like a mis-allocation of resources to put the top performing silicon in devices that don't really need it. Even the M1 architecture is handicapped by Apple itself. Besides the most obnoxious use of M1 Mac mini's in DC basically for the sole purpose of iOS and macOS app development, the CPUs are mostly used in consumer devices. Their main purpose for use in consumer devices? To eliminate the need for a fan and to improve battery life. Both of these things are great but also just not high on the list of problems humanity needs to solve.

What I am trying to say is that, for the last few decades, it at least seemed like 'real' work drove semiconductor development. From cloud giants to a local companies data center, performance and power efficiency were what drove and purchased the bleeding edge CPU/GPUs (I suppose in some ways GPUs were driven by consumers/entertainment reasons). Now it seems like luxury products are taking on that role.

I call these mobile iOS/Android products luxury products because outside of novelty purposes no one is really producing movies or something of value beyond a word document on these devices. Traditional laptops and desktops "won" in a way for the same reason that the M1 processor exists; mobile operating systems still have never matured to replace then so instead even Apple is bringing mobile software back to the traditional computer.

The most worrying aspect of this development of course is how locked down most of these devices are. iOS devices are of course in a walled garden and even macOS has more & more restrictions. I can easily imagine a day where consumer level electronics are completely locked down and the only way to get a open/free platform is to buy server hardware - if that is even possible. Server hardware is also moving to ARM and while not locked down in a software or hardware way it is locked down in the sense that only a few companies can buy it or at least no one so far is interested in selling single digit volumes of ARM servers. The days of open computing for the general person certainly seem numbered.

This is also what we're trying to do in Tailscale (to grab your MagicDNS domain, and whatever corporate split DNS you set, but not anything else). And yeah, on linux, basically systemd-resolved is the only thing that gets this right (with dynamic config - with fully static config, other recursors are an option, with varying tradeoffs), everything else assumes "one resolver should be enough for everything".

• Asking people for money is the #1 reason people don't start a patronage page. It is scary, and it puts a lot of pressure.

• All the most successful creators making decent recurring monthly income selling premium content are running a "premium show." Weekly video podcast, monthly interviews with experts, etc.

• Problems:
1 - You are required you to ask people for money directly.

2 - Users need to pay a different subscription for every new creator they want to follow.

• Solution:
1 - An all-in-one subscription where users pay $10/m to get access to all the content.

2 - Creators can create a "Premium Show" on the platform and upload their premium content.

3 - Creators will make money in 2 ways:

• $3.5 recurring lifetime commission for every user referred to the platform.

• A monthly "creator pool" available to all the creators and distributed based on the watched time.

• Example:
- A creator with 100,000 subs launches a premium show.

- People can watch the show for FREE because there's a 14-days free trial—zero pressure on the creator.

- 5000 people sign up to see the first 1-2 episodes for free.

- 500 of them pay.

- The creator make 500 x $3.5 = $1,750 of monthly recurring revenue from the affiliate program and $1,750 from the creator pool.

- Total: $3,500 of extra income every month.

- The same low "pressure" of uploading on YouTube but in this case optimizing for quality and not for virality.

• Important:
- We're obsessed with having few creators that make a considerable income. 10,000 creators making $50,000 a year on average is much better than 500,000 creators making $1000 a year. The platform will be optimized for that.

For these numbers to be realistic and sustainable, the platform cannot be open to everyone. We will be all business partners in this. Every new creator must be accepted from the existing community.

Honest feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Building the entire backbone of a CI product based on `bash <(curl` script. Honestly. This is more like Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Did someone even attempt to google "don't run random scripts from the internet" here?

There is a world of a difference between offering a "bash <(curl" for one-off development/laptop use vs. giving official instructions to put it in a automation scripts. If someone is uploading code coverage reports for some language – they have way better, safer options. Maven packages, `go run`, npm packages, deb packages, etc. All of these have better security and checksumming built in.

From what's seen in the report, even all their other products (github app, etc) were built on top of this bash uploader script, and even their own hosted solutions did not validate their checksum. Looks like they were pretty seriously pushing "just source a script from internet" as an official principle. Of course the CI was backdoored. Facepalm.

I would venture to guess that most people buying a Peloton are not doing it for the data tracking. They are buying one because it is a really nice spin bike paired with daily live classes across multiple sports that then go into a massive content library that you can stream on demand. You certainly pay a premium for the whole thing to be tightly integrated ("it just works") but that is clearly worth it to a huge number of people.

Anyone that already likes spin classes wants one of these bikes. And compared to what you would pay to go to a live class at a spin studio the $40 a month is a drop in the bucket. The fact that both you and your spouse or roommate can use the same subscription with separate accounts further stacks the financials in Peloton's direction. The fact that you can hop on the thing whenever you want from the comfort of your home is another huge plus.

The bike won't last forever, but its not like the screen is going to "age out" at any point. And if the whole thing somehow completely dies in 3 years it will still have been a fine investment relative to the alternatives. Certainly you can ride for cheaper but nothing else comes close to the experience for the money.

Dnsmasq DNS support is redundant when you are running systemd-resolved. It can do everything dnsmasq does and more.

That's exactly what systemd-resolved is.
I am not saying to shut down coal plants today, and I deny you the right to put words in my mouth.

What I am doing is pushing back on your original argument, which was that China has nuclear plants and we have lots of uranium, so it's fine to waste enormous amounts of energy mining Bitcoin.

My position is this: Today we have nuclear plants and coal plants, and we waste energy mining Bitcoin. It is a strictly better world where we have the same number of nuclear plants and fewer coal plants, and use the exact same amount of energy minus the amount that we spend on Bitcoin.

I strongly suspect that the incremental energy load of mining Bitcoin is coming from coal plants, not nuclear plants. (If anyone has hard data, I would welcome it.) If my suspicion is correct, then claiming that China has nuclear plants is irrelevant, since they aren't producing the electricity that's being spent mining Bitcoin.
