> Buy mining hardware and electricity with renminbi. Sell the resulting coins in the free world for fiat hard currency.

That's the way it keeps getting described to me.

However, where does the hard currency come from? Who is providing the USD for ChiaCoin, and why?

This applies to any other of the cryptocurrencies that pop every day. Mining alone is about as useless as owning a printing press for your own currency $FOO. Unless someone is willing to give you hard currency for $FOO, it's just worthless strips of paper.

Who's trading hard USD for every new fad coin?
that isn’t really a problem with politics though is it?

it feels like a problem with the discussions participants listening and speaking skills.

if someone immediately jumps to a negative extreme then its likely they feel quite emotionally distressed about the topic. if you notice someone is emotionally charged about a topic (either yourself or a participant) then we should seek to discover the shadow conversation that is being had. what is the true source of the emotional distress.

instead we see it as weakness and press harder.

removing politics won’t solve that.
Would 'your own' not at least also imply bare metal? Kubernetes on standard hosting hosting (without special routers/private networking) seems a pita. I want my own because I want to get away from the big hosters, but seems no boxed solutions with kubernetes cater for that. Or maybe I just do not know them yet; I have asked around a lot.

(The load balancer is the issue: there seem no good ingress solutions if you do not have hardware support even though there are lb as a service like cloudflare and software loadbalancers which are not supported. Again as far as I can find)
It does get old eventually.
You're not "the person in pain" though. You are pretending to speak for them.

In fact, one could say it's racist that you're feeling entitled to appropriate their pain when you claim to speak for them. Your racism is hurting me, and will continue to hurt me until you acknowledge that racism necessarily involves discrimination based on race, and that it's wrong and problematic of you to appropriate the actual suffering of others.
Bitcoin is the #1 SoV because:

1) it was launched fairly by a person who uniquely had no reasonable expectation of profit when doing so,

2) it was launched first, giving it first-mover advantage, and

3) its proprietors made the very wise choice from 2015-2017 of censoring their populist opponents pushing for Bitcoin to become PayPal 2.0, and instead euphemistically refering to Bitcoin as “digital gold” — the speculative store of value to end all speculative stores of value

The very fact you’ve asked this question in full knowledge of owning both BTC and altcoins whilst also alluding to altcoins being more valuable, and the fact readers can only possibly act on your narrative by investing in the coins to which you allude — obviously only as a speculative store of value — just goes to show why Bitcoin is #1. Cryptocurrencies are simply nothing more than speculative stores of value, there are no exceptions.
If they just answer respectfully when someone asks them specifically ("in my faith that's not allowed") but don't interject it themselves unasked for, over and over again when an individual mentions they are gay then that falls into "live and let live, you do you & I keep my opinions about your personal life to myself".

Again this is in no way unique to muslims, and is just as likely to be the case with similarly devout christians so I don't see why you need to focus on islam specifically. I've personally also worked with orthodox jews who I am sure hold a lot of opinions I disagree with and somehow they managed to never voice homophobic or misogynistic comments & I managed to never tell them what I think about interpretations of the bible as the literal word of god.

This is a situation which among reasonable people doesn't require outright ban of "political speech". You can cultivate a good company culture that deescalates flame wars without such a blunt instrument that may also have a lot of undesirable side effects.
I think I made it clear that's a trap that mostly suckers fall into.

Keep in mind that the world operated on subsistence farming before 1800, and children were put to work as soon as they could walk. Families had no choice.

Analysis of the bones of pre-1800 American colonists show extreme overwork. They died young.

Analysis of the bones of pre-Columbian Central American natives also showed extreme labor done by children.

What eventually saved children from this was the rising productivity that came from industrialization.
I'm not sure where you read all this. In his post [1] DHH says:

1) that the list was a mistake and that they've learned and moved on.

2) that "I was dismayed to see the argument advanced in text and graphics on [Employee 1’s] post that this list should be considered part of a regime that eventually could lead to genocide. That's just not an appropriate or proportionate comparison to draw"

3) that "the vast majority" of the names in the list were in fact of Anglo-Saxon or white background.

So he acknowledges, apologises and de-escalates. And points out that there is nothing racial about the list. What should he have done more, or differently?

I've seen a lot of articles and blog posts like this, but their numbers never seem to make sense. It says that reading through a 4-disk 8 TB array you only have a 15% chance of success. I have full-array BTRFS scrubbing scheduled monthly, according to this my array should have reported errors many times a year...

And of course, no matter what, no form of RAID/ZFS is a backup.
The people who want to do their political activism at work in 2021 are all exclusively democrats. Framing it this way is important. Calling it "politics" is limiting because this is just a small manifestation of a larger issue with society in the west, driven by these social constructionist folks who are in a state of perpetual grievance
The brain actually burns a lot of energy so I think its not unreasonable to expect it to burn the fuel it has access to. There was this study on chess players or something in a competition, I don't remember what the study was called exactly, but they found the chess players despite sitting down the whole time burnt an extraordinary amount of calories.

In China there is even sort of a common saying for this. Generally when someone starts sort of acting stupid or in a daze its commonly related to, half jokingly, as “低血糖” or "low blood sugar"
I'm the author of that code. I have a semi-detailed writeup here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17aK9ifP79abRuafXSD24jVVI3Sb...

Within one Fenwick tree we have two sorts of paths starting at any node, one going to a virtual node marked with 0, and one going to a node marked with positive infinity. The interesting property is that these two paths for any two starting nodes always intersect once.

In standard Fenwick trees you use one of those two paths to store data at the nodes visited during inserting, and retrieve that data using the other path at nodes visited during reading. This allows you to compute arbitrary prefix or suffix sums (depending on whether you use the 'up' or the 'down' path for insertion or reading).

However in the data structure I proposed we use both paths for storing and retrieving, allowing us to compute prefix and suffix sums. Finally to answer any sort of query we also need to store the original data in another array. Then any query for range [p, q] can be partitioned into three pieces: [p, m), {m}, (m, q] where m is the unique midpoint where the path going up from p and down from q intersect.
Sure it does, but it's spelled "idiosyncratic" on forms

Oh ffs, stop it with this fear porn already.

The state got rid of a lot of the previous makeshift facilities from last year, and this is the reason for this sudden crunch.

India's death's rate is ~10-20x lower than that in the US. Of course, you'll have the innumerate "conspiracy" idiots who claim 10x deaths, and you have the occident which is obsessed with the failures of non-Western countries to prove to itself of its self-worth.

Then there are the Anglo leftovers of the British colonial administration who form the elite-ruling class of India. These morons have all the more reason to spread terror and doom about the native "heathens".

Really makes you wonder why humanity is in this state, where every moron has turned into a apocalypse doomer. I suppose, instead of research into "Artificial" Intelligence, we need to consider ways to make Humans intelligent.
Has the US not invaded, coup-ed and threatened numerous countries? Is it not now occupying several? Does it not have bases encircling all countries opposed to its imperialism? I thought this was common knowledge.

The IMF, World Bank and European Central Bank do indeed offer predatory loans with strict conditions (like privatisation, deregulation, austerity) and at usury rates. Countries have a choice between this and being blockaded through military power, like Iran, Syria, Libya, DPRK, etc.
This company has become too successful and too rich, so could afford to sink itself into bullshit, which it did, just because it could. Sad.

> Fiat currencies don't lose purchasing power over time by design. and to create a low level of inflation.

Inflation of fiat currency = loss of purchasing power of fiat currency. So these two sentences contradict each other.

And I get the point that the idea is that this inflation should be constant and there's nothing wrong with it in theory. Sure. Fine.

But that doesn't change the fact that keeping x USD on a bank account for x years decreases the purchasing power of that amount of money. And that that decrease in purchasing power is not desirable. So people try to maintain that purchasing power by converting those USD into something else. We used to have saving accounts, but yeah... those ceased to function due to negative interest rates.

And that's all without going into the scenario where the central banks are failing at their mission to maintain price stability. Which arguably is happening right now and is arguably the reason why people are dumping fiat currency in exchange for anything else that can better preserve buying power.

Am I wrong here so far?

Am I arguing that crypto is inherently and permanently a better currency than fiat? No. Not at all. Am I arguing that fiat currencies are currently not a great store of value: absolutely. And in that situation to preserve your buying power, you buy things you think will retain purchasing power better. I personally (and obviously many others) believe crypto could serve as protection as well as other assets that "can't be printed by governments and central banks". Is it speculation? yes, of course. But so is keeping fiat cash as fiat cash.

Former Tesla IT infrastructure employee tells horror stories
I experienced something really similar a few years back. Lengthy post, but a topic close to me these days.

I had, a couple of years previously, changed job and had the opportunity to do a complete retake on a traditional business from a tech perspective.

Incredibly motivated and excited - spent my days talking to teams and management and nights coding and building things.

This is not in the US, and I had no pressure at all from management mind you - I just really enjoyed it and we made amazing progress.

Couldn’t wait til the family was asleep so I could start hacking away, often to 3 or 4 AM.

This went on for about a year, and I thought I had the best job, team and most fun ever in my career.

One day going home from work I could feel a spring in my brain let go, much as described in this tweet - the whole world stated to spin and I found myself leaning against a car in the lot not to collapse.

Weird... wth... ok, let’s see if it was just an issue or if we have a problem.

A couple of days later I’m in a conference room to do a demo. Someone throws me the keyboard and as I start to write everything seems to slow down and my fingers are moving in slow motion.
I try many times to type my password - impossible. I try to speak - just slurring.

From this point on whatever is going on start to manifest itself on a regular basis. I get a “zing” in my brain, like physical, and loses train of though, words and balance.

Going to work one day my body just stopped, turned around and began walking home. On it’s own! Surreal. I was just taken for the ride back to the bus and home to bed.

At this point I’m starting to feel like “I’m not there”. Like my mind is in the back of my brain and not in front, at my eyes, if you get what I mean. My mind had kind of an out of balance, far back, tunnel vision of everything.
This became the new normal. Really disturbing.

Obviously I started to investigate this. Went through the process with different doctors. Lengthy process.
At some point I get this unbelievable pain in my shoulder, probably because I had started to work out again quite hard. Way inflamed somewhere.

I go to a naprapath to try to sort it out and he investigates my neck - “woha you seem to have massive inflammation in your upper neck”.
He does the naprapath business for 30 min. Boom! I’m back!
I’m “in my eyes” again, almost two years later. No more tunnel vision! W. T. H.

Couple of week later I’m scheduled for a neurologist who examines me. He specifically asks if I’m ok in the neck. I describe the above and he explains that issues in the upper neck can cause all kinds of weird neurological issues.

The MR came back clean as the doctor had figured.

Getting back completely have taken it’s time. A good couple of years, and I’m in general more weary and try to listen for signs.

These days - no coding after hours, exercise regularly and in general a better understanding of my body and mind.

Listen to your body, brain included! Stop clenching that jaw.

> This is the kind of thing that you would hope people can appreciate through common sense...but, unfortunately, that isn't the case anymore.

Many people literally don't care for actual issue. Lot of them are just opporunistic.

> Also, the issue isn't about someone being fired for promoting genocide...again, this is one of the subtleties of argumentation that you should learn at school...DHH's point was only about why the person was posting the pyramid of hate, self-evidently he did not believe that anyone in the office was attempting to organise a genocide (why does this needs to be said). His view on the list was clear: the list shouldn't have happened, it was bad, people who made the list should have not made it (rather than making it, and then attempting to over-compensate by saying the list was the first step to genocide).

Totally agree.

> ...the stuff that people argue about on here is truly amazing. Again, the US underinvests massively in history/politics/philosophy...these are problems that just don't happen in some societies.

I call this a north-american problem. In other parts of world (at least where I am from), it is well understood to not talk about politics at work. Americans talk about both free speech and politically correct speech, ironical.
How do you want the responsibilities to be split between you the self-hoster and the software vendor?
What were you missing out on specifically?
There was a report today in the news here (Netherlands) that more younger people are hospitalized as a percentage of the total. This could mean many things, my guess here would be the elderly are more and more vaccinated and thus less likely to need ICU/Hospital care, but maybe there is more happening on a global scale.
No. 40% of the population had at least 1 vaccine already. Death and infection rates are also declining.
I can only recommend Accelerando from Charles Stross.
Same exact symptoms (the bass guitar string he heard is a thing that gave me ptsd like symptoms/crippling anxiety for a long time after) I had from a TIA when I was overworked. He waited getting a scan so they could've missed it later; my office was next to the hospital: nothing showed on the CT one hour after but on the RMI a couple of hours after they found a tiny lesion in one of the regions involved in forming speech (which, like him, I had issues with for a bit). Sounds more likely than glucose to me but that is because this looks too familiar to me.

Edit: with symptoms like this, treat it as an emergency, do not wait. I do not even understand how you go to sleep and not the hospital if you actually suspect a stroke? Within 3 hours they can do a lot even for far more serious strokes.
> We're going to wind up undoing the last 20 years of performance gains in the name of 'security', and it scares me.

This actually excites me. When the foundation is shown to be rotten, it's time for a new foundation.

I'm optimistic, though, that the future holds a fork, with some devices insecure-but-fast and others secure-but-slow. Because there's a market for both. I don't care if my gaming hardware is vulnerable to Spectre because ideally there's nothing worth stealing there anyway. Email/messaging hardware can afford to be a -lot- slower than my gaming rig without any appreciable impact on the experience.

Perhaps the future holds motherboards that look like the physical embodiment of Qubes OS, with secure and insecure chips running compartmentalized features based on their security/speed requirements. We already do something like this for performance with the divide between CPUs and GPUs.
3.5 cents per sachet seems very expensive in bulk. A sachet probably only contains a gram or so, meaning these ingredients are being sold at $35/kilo.

$3/kilo sounds far more reasonable, and it should be sold in 1kg containers and users instructed to use a teaspoon per large bucket.
It is one think to have a laugh at something unexpected. Such things happen. Trying to maintain such a list and to keep it around for years is another level of objectivizing that is far from professional.

In addition, if they are so easy to one's name, it is likely that they will try to look for other sources of fun: accent, looks, type of issue.
> The interesting thing about cryptocurrency is not that it facilitates illegal activities, but that it does very little else - and that is in fact quite different from the rest of your list.

How can the same people who make this argument turn around and in the same breath decry Bitcoin for being nothing more than a speculative store of value? You can’t have it both ways.

No one buys Bitcoin to spend it. This much is abundantly clear. And Bitcoin, as an inflation-proof global currency of fixed supply controlled by computer algorithms, never had to do anything other than sit there as an idle speculation to fulfill its primary role as safest safe haven asset. That’s what makes it such a powerful idea.
Nothing but dubious and unsubstantiated claims. I find this style of article quite annoying, but I also feel kind of sad about criticizing it publicly.
An issue, yes, but we don't know what else could be going on behind the scenes at Basecamp. You can replace a head of design and an iOS team quickly at a company that small (58 employees before the purge).
> I guess doesn't sound as nice.

How is this anything but dismissive? Your whole post was insinuating it’s only utility is for illegal things, in context implying that’s what makes it non-valuable. If you weren’t making that claim, then there’s no point to your post. Don’t hide from your own claim and act coy now. It was obviously dismissive, and now just looks like you’re backsliding. Not to mention the straw man turning “some laws are bad and you should be able to resist them” into “live in a lawless state”. Or that you ignore the litany of non-illegal uses I added.

In fact, I’m skeptical of 99% of the field, I believe without PoS it should fail and isn’t worth the cost, and I was a harder skeptic until recently and changed my mind because I honestly believe I’ve seen some truly interesting uses now outside of being a freer currency.

Get outside of “pro” or “anti” box and think in terms of utilities and specifics, and if you reply reply to my specific claims.
