Here's an alternative mental model... Let's talk about Filecoin (related to Chia) for file storage. Assume for the moment that all 2 billion tokens are in circulation. At any given time, there is a market of people looking to store files and people willing to store those files for a fee.
You're transacting (roughly) in Gb-years at today's level of technology -- i.e. willingness to store 1Gb of data for 1 year. Regular market forces apply. You could also pre-purchase credits for later use... either to get higher priority for your data when you want to use your tokens, or as an investment in said ability. And the prices you'll pay will automatically flex based on improvements in technology since the global supply of tokens is fixed.

You could then reasonably think of Filecoin as a futures contract on generic file storage capacity. Ethereum is a futures contract on computational horsepower. Bitcoin is something else(?) - perhaps a futures contract on a general long-term abstract form of value storage. In short: Some of these tokens act as futures contracts for decentralized compute capabilities. The most-common current use case happens to be heavily related to finance (DeFi); applications for censorless content networks are also in development; and the applications are really quite general purpose.

Anything today that requires a ledger is a reasonable problem to tackle too, where eliminating centralization could be beneficial. E.g. ENS instead of ICANN for domain names, tokenized stock certificates instead of relying on opaque organizations owned by major banks (e.g. the DTC and problems around naked shorting).
Wait, it's not like Filecoin, where the space is made available to other people? The storage is just being deliberately wasted? That sounds ridiculous.
I think pivoting to a foundry is a good move for Intel both in the short and long term. They are heavily reliant on their desktop chips which if they don’t hold on to their lead could put them in financial straits, having a strong second line of business is a huge safety net for them.
Yes, for smaller cafe-style commercial establishments, I've seen the "ruggedized consumer" type models, but chatting with repair techs, I got the impression from them they feel those units are nearly as corner-cutted-into-not-BIFL as their consumer brethren. I did forget to mention that another tradeoff others might not be aware of is having to scrape off food before it enters these commercial units. I already do that.

My style of cooking is wash as I prep and cook, so I'm constantly in motion while prepping and cooking. I dynamically figure out ahead of time whether what I'm using at that moment is needed the rest of the session, and wash it the moment I get a "let simmer for N minutes" break, and everything that is dirty that doesn't land on the meal table lands in a sink of hot soapy water. I scrape for a compost pile as I go as well.

This minimizes clean up time and food waste at the end of the meal, but I have since found out few people do this. I learned it when I worked back of house. While I had dedicated team members for various clean and prep activities, there was still plenty to do with not a moment wasted, so building that habit was the only way to keep up with the service rush. Having just learned queuing theory gave me a leg up over a couple old salts who learned the same through brute force intuiting the habit, and I taught the less-experienced team members by giving them rote expert-system-like if-then procedure.

It was a glorious feeling when my entire shift team had only a few minutes of cleaning and tidying at the end of the shift well before the cleaning crew arrived (thank goodness we did not have draining and cleaning the fryer on our duty list), and we could relax a few minutes over a snack and shoot the breeze just before clocking out.
>You have to know that isn't true

I know it is true, by looking at empirical data. Can you cite data that support your conclusion?
Central patching had greater utility before operating systems had centralized build/packaging systems connected via the internet. When you had to manually get a patch and install it via a tape archive or floppy drive, or manually copy files on a lan, only having to update one package to patch a libc issue was a big help. Today it would require a single command either way, and so doesn't really have any significant benefit.
>In practice this works really well as long as the change is to eliminate an unwanted side effect rather than to change a previously documented behavior

...and then you deploy and discover that somebody was depending on that "unwanted" side effect.
I meant Time accepts BTC for subscriptions now...not Time as in BTC making Time cover
Quite frankly, I'd rather eat shit.
It's more like the promise that you could spend $10,000, wait five years, then retire. Bitcoin's historical >10,000x returns have triggered massive amounts of envy, greed, and FOMO.
And getting a prebuilt to get a video card is itself becoming hard at this point. The big names are pushing estimated delivery dates for prebuilts with 30 series cards out to June or July at this point.

I suppose getting a card in July in a prebuilt is still better than not getting a card on its own.

While I was digging around, it looks like some of the laptops with 30 series in them are even at the "ETA: One day soon!" point.

Something very simmilar happens with language. Babies are able to distinguish speach sounds of all languages, but quickly lose the ability to percieve distinctions that are not present in their "native" language (native in quotes because this happens before they have made a single utterence)

I believe that Hotel California is still under protection as a melody, rather than a performance.
Hence covers require either a license or fair use according to law. This differs a lot from the case of performing a 200 year old song whose melody is in the public domain.

Not to say it was wrong what you did, or that Google was in the right for flagging. But Google was legally correct.

(Google suggests controversy around the question of whether hotel California is public domain or not)
I might not be understanding what you are saying. You don't think there is a problem with US police violence || use of force?

Even looking beyond shootings?!

To the second part less police != rise in homicide

and that you don't care to verify that yet you still hold those beliefs is a part of the problem e.g. the first part.

You’re far from alone. I recently outright blocked all DNS traffic, including known DoH providers, on my network firewall for all my devices except my Pi-Hole.

Then, I blocklisted all Google and Facebook domains on my Pi-Hole… except for YouTube’s content servers so I can use Invidious.

In fact, I might follow your example and add an outbound allowlist to my firewall. Seems like the next logical step.

That’s what I don’t get. Why are some animals acceptable to eat and some are aren’t? I know people who get totally outraged over dog or horse meat at but have no problem with beef or pork. Pigs are very intelligent and emotional. Way more than horses who aren’t that smart in comparison.
I don’t think I have ever heard of proof of space, is it the same as proof of stake?
I always wondered if we would try to bridge the gap what would happen? Imagine a whale ambassador, driving around in a huge half-tracked aquarium, holding speeches about what the fishing fleets currently are doing is murder.
But what leads us to believe it was a surprise? Genuinely curious, did they say they were shocked? I would assume the opposite with an offer that generous.
this is one of the best things i have ever read thank you
Exactly what is "unnatural". Even us living in buildings out milking cows with a robot is "unnatural".

Since agriculture is more modern than keeping livestock, I'd say that eating vegetables is more unnatural.

Additionally, while I don't agree with how some livestock are kept for multinationals ( McDo probably), most of the world gives their livestock plenty of room to live ( Europe) and steroids are forbidden here ( unlike in the US)

Source: my dad is a veterinarian and I came across, what you call "industrial processes" ( = farming) daily in my youth. My dad only had 1 client who kept his animals in bad conditions ( long story, but my dad acted correctly with the means possible)
Its not all the windows libraries, but often the OS creates just one interface library to wrap the syscalls. Those do not tend to be big libraries where you should worry about being statically linked to your program.

The problem with Linux also have to do with license, giving GPL can get some program into trouble by statically linking GPL code.

There are 3 cases for me that can force one to use shared libraries: Licensing, Dynamic loading a DSO at runtime (like in Apache modules) and when you are developing a big project, but once you need to ship the production code, get it back to statically linking everything.

Other from that i don't see why you would want this.
This is part of why I don’t judge others for eating animals. Plus, I do still eat fish. If I’m to judge anyone, it should be me first.

I also intended to some degree to be paradoxical, but I’m a terrible communicator so it wasn’t evident outside my mind. Like I said though, ultimately it all seems absurd to me. Digging deep into what is good or right or moral when it comes to these things is incredibly challenging. Ultimately I wonder why I’m trying to figure it out. What a strange exercise.

I definitely don’t subscribe to any naturalistic ideas about how people should behave. I do believe we are much like the animals around us - far more than we’d like to believe or acknowledge at times. I don’t believe that means what happens in nature and among other species is inherently good though. I don’t believe what humans do is inherently good either. I just don’t judge people for doing what animals, or humans, overwhelmingly tend to do. Hopefully that makes a bit more sense.
Yeah, not sure how any of these things really apply to Twilio either.

I was a major customer of Twilio, among several other similar providers. Maybe if you've built a big interactive something, switching costs were high, but for what we were using them for, it wouldn't take much to switch to a new provider. Twilio's apis are nice, but most others are at least OK, and it's hard to screw up an SMS api (although GSMA has a soap standard that's pretty terrible, wouldn't have used that except that it came with some no cost messaging deals).

That said their strategy of“There is only one true strategy, build products and services for which your customers will pay you.” works, cause their service works to get calls and texts to most of the world, most of the time. If you don't do that, or the price is too high, it's easy to leave.
It is because we know how the sausage is made.
That's unrealistic. A car contains several ECUs. Each ECU has one or more MCU/CPU. Every core runs its software, 99% of the time documentation is available only under NDA.
Reimplementing the software for just one MCU/CPU is challenging even for who is part of the industry.
I honestly was just thinking of rewriting a bunch of readmes at my workplace.

Documentation is not our strong suit and I was wondering where to start with a good template that has some level of... professionalism / proven.
I'm really surprised to read so many responses like this from an otherwise intelligent community.

You can't honestly believe that if an asteroid hit that anyone would all it racist.

That's just a distraction at best; my read is that's an example of the implicit bias in our society that you disregard flat out.
Very cool, although you'll never see me on it!

A perfect thing to look at from afar.

Crypto verse in general feels like a 50/50 bet...but the storage based stuff feels like significantly worse odds
These velocity of money models can't account for even a small fraction of cryptocurrency valuations. For example, if your model says Filecoin is worth $10 but it's currently trading for $160... clearly the buyers are not pre-purchasing storage.
It says no more the 20% of the population was going to catch it, which was the claim of the comment.
>If an Apple product were ever used to stalk - or God forbid, harm - an individual, it would be a big national story. If a Tile or a Samsung tag (or an amazon gps tracker made for stalking) were used in the same way, it would likely only be mentioned in passing if the story were reported at all.

it's weird to ascribe some kind of martyr-complex to how Apple is treated.

They're treated that way because they are by far the largest single corporation in the mobile game, not because the media has some sort of anti-apple fetish.

I’m not convinced Armstrong and DHH had such a drastic flame war problem, for example after banning politics, Armstrong made several public political rants including endorsing Kanye West - http://modernconsensus.com/politics/ceo-of-apolitical-coinba...

Perhaps they should have done what most other companies do, and ignore the “problem” if employees are otherwise productive, and if not then replace unproductive employees with productive ones. Whether an employee is productive is tangential to their political beliefs, and an employee who is causing waves over politics will just cause waves over something else if you ban politics.

I would work for someone who I disagreed with, but if an employer tries to silence me and turns around and advocates for their own political candidate, it seems to me the employer is being narrow minded, underhanded, and hypocritical

There's also the part where it simply wasn't possible on many older SoCs to record calls[1]. Back then, there were apps that recorded calls using undocumented APIs available only on Qualcomm SoCs, and no one else had any call recording. Combined with legal problems around call recording, I guess nobody cared.

Depends on where you are right now, I learned elm during the second year of my career and so far it has proved its worth by providing good opportunities and great learning.
It is also a good place to start a career in fp languages.
But if you are already experienced in front end development then it's less clear how learning elm can help your job chances. You already should have ample opportunities then.
Except Christian morality also shifts and changes with time and culture, because religious practice is a social phenomenon.

There has never been a universal, objective Christian morality. The Bible says slaves should obey their masters, that women are as far beneath men as men are beneath God, and that homosexuality is an abomination worthy of death. Christian morality used to allow killing pagans, Jews and Protestants as heretics. Christians from a century ago would see modern Christians as weak-willed apostates (you don't even read the Bible in Latin, but gutteral English you swine!) and Christians from a thousand years ago might not even recognize the religion as theirs.

Atheists reject the premise that morality presupposes God not because they reject morality but because they recognize that all moral systems are relative, and yet still have value. And yes, being a "decent human being" does simply mean "conforming to societal expectations," even when that society's expectations are based on the current generation's fashion in interpreting Biblical teaching. But it's enough for me to believe in the value of human life because I believe it, not because my society tells me a man in the sky will send me to hell if I don't.

And from an atheist point of view it's obviously possible to accept a moral framework in a morally relative universe because that is what everyone, including religious people, are actually doing. Accepting the truth of the matter isn't going to cause society to collapse into barbarism and hedonism.
In this case, yes.

In the general case, someone (or some thing) can sue for pretty much any reason whatsoever. One of the unappreciated roles of publishers and distributors is that they also serve as a legal defence organisation. You'll often hear people talk of how the publisher of a newspaper, magazine, or books also have lawyers to deal with, say, libel or other claims. Copyright isn't the only consideration here. For any community-based activity, there are also the issues of inter- and intra-community disputes.

Peer-based publishing tends to ignore this question.

while I was there I detested the open plan cube farm horror of their offices (at least the SF ones) they weren't even full cubes, being only half height so constant visual distraction, and they didn't completely surround you so you had people always moving around behind you.

Changing how the open plan is arranged is just pointless, accept that you have made an unpleasant work environment and leave it alone so at least people don't have to track whatever new fad you're on. Hotseating makes it even worse, so I can't see why anyone who respected their employees would consider it.

I agree with the statement that "mass transit coupled with congestion pricing can reduce congestion".

I disagree with the statement that "if mass transit is ignored in favor of personal cars as transportation, then you can't use congestion pricing to get out of congestion", for the reasons I've already stated.

Saying that "people will have to drive, regardless of price" is indicative of being unfamiliar with the economic way of thinking about tradeoffs.

I don’t like this because it assumes that all of those repositories are accessible all of the time to everyone who might want to build something. If one repo for some core artifact becomes unreachable, everyone is dead in the water.

Ideally “cached on the network” could be a sort of optional side effect, like with Nix, but you can still reproducibly build from source. That said, I can’t recommend Nix, not for philosophical reasons, but for lots of implementation details.

I strongly agree that the reporting and visibility you're talking about are important.

But there's one other advantage of the shared library thing, which is that when you need to react fast (to a critical security vulnerability, for example), it is possible to do it without coordinating with N number of project/package maintainers and getting them all to rebuild.

You still do want to coordinate (at least for testing purposes), but maybe in emergencies it's more important to get a fix in place ASAP.
1) Nvidia et al. have to work with Big Retail (tm) [i.e. Walmart, Target, Best Buy]. Big Retail isn't interested in doing auctions. They function off the tried and true MSRP model. No matter how much money is being left on the table. This applies just as much to GPUs and hard drives as it does to the recent console shortages.

I've worked with Big Retail execs before. They're old school and conservative (in the business sense).

In a smoke filled CES hotel room they shook hands on a deal of X for $Y, and that's how it's going to stay for the next decade.

2) Risk. These shortages and cryptocurrency demand spikes are a blip on the history of these companies. It'd be stupid to suddenly change their entire business models and retail relationships for something that could disappear next month.

As much as I believe cryptocurrency and hence mining is here to stay, I can't fault these companies for not believing the same and acting accordingly. Especially given the cycles of boom and bust that cryptocurrencies have gone through.
