Archive node implies non-pruned and txindex enabled?

One thing that made me laugh regarding the Ethereum “archival node” semantics debate was that equivalent functionality (immediate lookup of any transaction by address) in Bitcoin requires an additional index, like ElectrumX. Apparently many of the loudest Bitcoiners would benefit from understanding the distinction between a block explorer and a full node.
It's not obvious to me that it's an improvement to have an extra textbox that goes away moments after you type in your email address (possibly after you've tabbed into it to start typing) or an extra textbox that just stays there unused.
OVH might give you 'unmetered' traffic, but their connectivity _sucks_. Hetzner's 20TB/mo is equivalent to a constant measly ~60Mbps, but at least you'll reliably get this rate to most of the Internet, and very often will be able to saturate your link speed for peak usage.

There have been times where I wasn't able to get more than a handful Mbps from an OVH box in RBX to any network I've tried (multiple eyeball networks, Google Cloud, AS204880...). I also know multiple people who had to quickly migrate out of OVH because they suddenly got DSL-tier performance to their critical customers, and there was nothing they could do about it.

So it might be theoretically unmetered, but technically... I'd be surprised if you'd be reliably able to push more than 20TB in a month to outside OVH's AS, or even datacenter. You get what you pay for, and while network connectivity is not nearly as expensive as what large cloud providers would like you to believe, it's not free.

A true unmetered, non-oversubscribed, globally reaching Gbps link would run you something close to $200/mo in T1 transit commitment costs alone, and that's if you buy in bulk and already have good settlement-free peering with large networks to supplement that T1 transit.
Considering that Mesothelioma can take 30+ years to manifest, that info about exposure being common does _not_ improve my day.

The truth is, it's hard to unravel: especially with 100s of billions of dollars on the line in liability, there is probably some "sugar science" going on - maybe on both sides even.

What I _do_ know is that:
1. It's harmful af (regardless of "how much" the research says, the fact is: harmful af).
2. Everyone thinks it's banned, but it's not.
3. Some people make billions of dollars continuing to use it (enabled by #2)
4. I'm not in the set of people described in #3

I'd like it to be banned.

I can't tell if this comment is serious or not.

I routinely drive 600km one way and stop one time for gas and a pee - which takes about 15 minutes total.

The trip usually takes me a little over 6hrs. I cannot imagine an EV would come anywhere near this.
Bear in mind that I'm far from an expert on email transit, but it looks to me like an early Microsoft MTA adds that authentication-realm entry and it's probably used for routing (I suspect they route emails primarily for O365 email through one set of MTAs to keep things internal, and domains not on O365 get sent through a different set).

So, Using Authentication-Realm for this purpose, provided everything is formatted properly, isn't a bug. Nor is it to not remove this per the RFC at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7001#section-5. Nor is it against the spec for Google to not remove it, since it's not forged and pretending to be a Google MTA that added it.

You're right that you're potentially leaking a domain name, but if you're BCC'ing two different organizations where a dangerous situation would result from one of those organizations knows that the other received it, then you've already made a bad decision.

Meetup gets thrown around as cliche advice for this sort of things, but in the last city I lived, majority of meetups were either very demographic specific (i.e. something like 60+, or women’s business) or fronts for MLM and other scams.
tldr: Robinhood got offended that Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger called their company out for incentivizing gambling and not investing... which seems particularly obtuse since Robinhood makes their profit from the r/WSB community and not the people who use their platform for long term investments.
> a company is maxing their sells, don't you think they will raise the price?

I said nothing about price. It is irrelevant. I shopped for a product and that particular company had exactly what I want, and they offer it in a way that makes it the absolute best option for my preference. The choice was made. The company wants to sell the product, I want to buy that product from them, but they hit 10% market share. What then? Am I free to buy what I want from who I want to buy it from?
Hard to follow this. Do you mean the lack of nicotine causes stress during withdrawal? Of course it does, but that doesn't mean a person can't get a net overall decrease in stress by smoking regularly. I'm not suggesting it of course, but I can understand the personal motivation of someone who does.
I've also struggled making new (local) friends with kids, especially working from home for a non-local company. This is one of the main reasons I go work at coffee shops--the slim chance I run into someone in the same situation as me. It seems my wife can easily find a ton of mom's groups or women's clubs, for men, not so much.
I've worked at 4 companies in my career. I've made good personal friends at the first and current. I have close to zero contact with anyone from the second and third.

If I had to attribute what the difference was:

First company: Almost everyone was within a 10 year age difference of each other, and even those few that were older were still "young at heart", for lack of a better term. Everyone enjoyed each other's company and would frequently meet up after work, even go party together at bars and clubs on peoples' birthdays, etc.

Current company: My ex-boss had a unique knack for bringing the team together. I don't know what specifically he did that contributed most, but the entire team ended up becoming friends. Since he left, things haven't been the same with newcomers into the team, while most of the oldtimers have left.
More specifically, letter volume has been going down and parcel volume has been going up. Basically, there's been a huge shift in what the US Postal Service actually does, and their ability to cope with it has not been helped by - for example - the media creating partisan conspiracy theories about reducing the number of sorting machines that can physically only sort letters to rebalance their infrastructure being an evil right-wing conspiracy to destroy the postal service.
I wouldn't say this is a wart or confusing (to me at least). As someone who uses Haskell, C++, and Rust regularly, I just accept that each language has its own syntax. It's true that Rust borrows ideas from many languages, but I view Rust's syntax as its own thing, and the meaning of the symbols are what they are. It doesn't have to do things the C++ way or the Haskell way. It does things the Rust way, and that's not a wart.
I stopped reading when I saw their definition of socialism - if they couldn't be bothered to research to ensure they got that correct then why spend time with anything else they have to say? Straw-man arguments may be fun, but they're not constructive.
Buffet's said he was unhappy that apps like Robinhood let regular folks trade without paying a fee. Well, golly gee! That sounds terrible. I guess he thinks trading should only be for people like him who can afford to pay big fees.

He also doesn't like that everyone can participate in the "gambling" aspect of the stock market -- something from which he's profited greatly.
That would be equivalent to always putting your data in b-trees or other structures, according to the request patterns, without keeping the tables themselves. Sort of how you need to do that in Redis for any kind of sane request strategy other than key-value lookups.
I'm very sorry to hear that. It is my understanding that there are several ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors that have specific approval for use in your condition (crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, and brigatinib) and I do hope you get the best care you can possibly get and fight the good fight.
It should have died long time ago. I never bought because I see it too fragile. To be honest, I don't understand its resilience, there's just too many fault points and still none has blown up so far.
This isn't an accident. The USPS got partially dismantled last winter in matters related to the election, and has not been repaired since.

Being on AWS works for Netflix, Disney+, and a lot of other streaming services I won't mention. ESPN and Fox Sports both use AWS. A lot of incredibly visible companies that offer cloud storage white-label S3. Tons of game studios use AWS.

A lot of successful companies are pretty stupid I guess. But I'm not going to spend my time trying to refute conspiracy theories about AWS. You do you boo-boo.

The answer to the puzzle is that the rule about fiduciary duty really is only relevant to who the beneficiaries are of financial transactions; it pretty much does not have anything to say about regular business decisions.

>As the top reply to this mentioned, anyone can easily tell how much slower software is today even when computers and devices are so fast now! All in the name of "making code easy to reason about."

Yeah - it also doesn't crash my PC when an app segfaults, hell even video driver failing these days won't bring my system down. I don't need to restart my PC when I plug in a device. That's not really compatible with your childhood DOS games that enter kernel mode and talk to HW directly - you pay for abstractions - and it's a good tradeoff.

I can also have files with more than 5 character file names, and my FS can revert file changes and create snapshots.

These "good old days" people are just unrealistic, VIM is fast even today - but I prefer having a graphical representation of file tree with fancy icons and search. But that's just me and 99% of people out there.

Performance is a feature - and it's not a feature most people rank high untill it becomes an issue. As much as a minority of people here are crying about electron and HTML - a huge number of developers use VSCode daily and enjoy the approachability of a JS/DOM plugin ecosystem. VIM is free and available for decades now, and it has such amazing UX that the one of the most upvoted questions on SO was how to exit from it...

Slack is dog slow - and IRC has been freely available for decades, most people here use Slack daily. Who uses IRC anymore ?

So keep using your Emacs integrated window manager and stop bothering the rest of us :D

Perhaps the USPS is less efficient than it used to be, but we can't ignore the pandemic's effect; it's not limited to just USPS. Both Fedex and UPS suspended their on-time guarantees last March, and only a few weeks ago did they restore any of them, and that's only for a small subset of their services (guarantee still suspended for ground deliveries)

Spotify runs on all of my devices. In the morning I can ask my smart speaker to play songs that Spotify presumes I like, continue from my car with a voice command, see what my friends are playing or play their playlists. I'll gladly wait for the ~5 seconds it takes for an app to start if it delivers all this.

Of course IRC is much faster, it's also few orders of magnitude simpler than Slack. For work related communications I prefer Slack to IRC, but for chatting with friends IRC does just fine. One simple protocol vs hundreds of APIs that provide extremely rich content. Once again, Slack takes few seconds to launch on a modern machine, it's not that bad considering it does so much.

Yeah shit is slower, shit is also way more connected and complex than in the 90s.

It's amazing how much the internet has changed in just 13 years. Makes me wonder if the tech giants of today will become irrelevant by 2030s or we're past the point where the giants are rich enough to just buy up anything with potential while their original products fade into obscurity.

I cannot fathom why Louis DeJoy is still in office. He was planted in the USPS for the purpose of disrupting the mail service and his biggest order was the dismantling and destruction of hundreds of automated sorters around the country that do the job of dozens of employees each [1]. You can find hundreds of sources on why this was done: it was done to disrupt mail-in voting for the purpose of aiding Trump's campaign both by losing and slowing liberal-leaning mail-in votes and by reducing confidence in the postal service. I will not beat around that bush. He knows he is destroying the post office (one would have to be a half-wit to argue otherwise).

A partisan effort by the Rs disrupted the post office decades ago by requiring pre-funding of benefits (costs them an extra several billion per year) [2]. There have been some efforts to remedy this lately [3].

> You don't use ultrasound because it has both resolution and absorption issues.

I've used both these laser sensors and those dirt cheap ultrasonic sensors in many projects. The ultrasonic ones would work just as well in this application, and be 10x cheaper. The biggest difference is the size, as the ultrasonic ones are pretty bulky in comparison.
Passive aggressiveness.
>Lets do simple economics: charge a polluting business extra taxes...they pass the extra cost down the supply chain (eventually to consumers)...and they mark up their services by a fixed percentage and use their variable cost as the anchor...which means e.g. a 35% markup leads to more profits for big business, higher expense for consumers, and no actual incentive to cut production levels. Not to mention the inflation triggered by that.

That assumes a completely inelastic demand curve, which is unrealistic.

>FYI your response is essentially a cookie cutter leftist response, and you're pretty much proving my point. You complain about things using sensational, overly emotional, and somewhat condescending language

My point was that your post itself was completely condescending and sensationalistic about the left, and I could do the same to you. You should have a bit of introspection about your final paragraph:

>The simple fact is that conservatives have an easier time seeing where the left is coming from as a result of the left's primary policies being shallower and less thought out. These aspects also make it easier for the left to create snarky comments around. Conservatives however, simply don't agree and think it's all a pipe dream. They see the shallowness that the left is not able to. The left on the other hand, not only doesn't understand the right's overarching viewpoints...they also aren't even willing to try to understand where the right is coming from.

That is completely sensationalistic, overly emotional, and extremely condescending.
> The question is rather why distribute a separate file with hashes and their signatures, rather than just the signatures themselves, seeing how all useful cryptographic signatures contains the hash anyway?

that is what needs to be fixed, and ideally would become part of the archive format so that it can be automatically checked (but also should have the option to disable it).

Speaking of Windows, "pushd \\servername\sharename" is a simple way to mount a share in Windows, if you have the login creds cached, and set the new drive letter as your active drive. Useful if you need to bounce around a bunch of shares.
Formulating any analysis of the Postal Service on 100 letters is like formulating an analysis of the internet based on 1000 packets. Something longitudinal with a vaguely statistically significant sample set would be more meaningful
>But judging from the amount of negativity I received back then WRT powering my welder, I wouldn't be surprised if very few are being resourceful in this way.

It seems like the only topics that can be discussed on the internet are ones that are so far removed from practical application that they are immune to people showing up and crapping all over the discussion in search of virtue points for caring about other people's safety/money/health/whatever.

We can discuss code compilers no problem but god forbid you ask a question about tiling your bathroom and you will be inundated with people singing praises to GFCIs, quoting the building code, citing statistics about slip and fall injuries. It all makes more sense when you realize they don't actually want to answer your question, discuss bathroom tiles or provide anything of value. You've simply provided them an opportunity to signal to each other. But making sense doesn't make it any less frustrating.

I bet if you had opened up your welder and installed the long cord as though it were the OE power cord those people wouldn't have said anything.

I would have wired up a 220v cord that plugs into two 120v outlets just to piss them off.

The problem is that all over, post services have become privatized; it's commercial entities that squeeze their employees dry to maximize profits. They subcontract some things like packages to companies with even worse track records, gig economy type delivery companies where it's a random guy in their personal car with a boot full of packages.

The commercial package companies like UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc still have a better track record, but that too depends - a package from the UK was stuck in Brexit limbo for three months before finally arriving, battered by going around the carousel in the sorting / customs center and being sent back and forth.

Deprivatize the mail. Make it a respectable service again, with uniformed, unionized and full-time personnel. It doesn't have to be profitable, it's critical infrastructure. Have those that abuse it - e.g. junk mail sent with an address to avoid the 'no junk mail' stickers - pay extra.

And in the US, it's the post that connected the country; mail was THE biggest factor in the creation of things like stage coach services, the railway network, and commercial flights which other industries could latch onto. It should be treated with the same budgets and respect as e.g. the highway network. Defund the military and they could pay for the world's greatest postal service ten times over. If done right, it would put an end to the malpractices that companies like Uber and Amazon are trying to do with their employees.
