Why haven't gamers united to take down Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies?
I was thinking about the effects on GPU prices that gamers are pissed off about and all the bad that Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency currency cause with the crime and environmental impact. There are millions of gamers around the world with powerful gaming PC's, if they started a mining pool they could at first start attacking some of the smaller Cryptocurrencies. An encrypted wallet that no one can withdrawal from could be used and the mining rewards could be used to post useless transactions to take up block space.

As mining power grows as more people learn about the project, they can start performing 51% attacks to further disrupt the network. Eventually that crypto will collapse and they can move up to larger ones till they get to bitcoin. I don't think they would even have to target bitcoin because eventually trust would go down as publicity picks up the story and everything collapses for the better.

One can ensure that every commit passes the tests suite and linting by running something like:

git rebase --exec "test_cmd" --exec "lint_cmd" base_branch

and any commit that doesn't pass can be fixed until you get to the point where all commits in the branch pass.

Then you can find the commit that caused the issue, revert it and then make another commit that fixes the issue in the next PR (and ensure that the test suite passes for both commits with the --exec parameter to rebase.

> If each single commit in your straight master history is one self contained thing it's easy to revert that whole thing and done.

Not really. The more lines and files that are affected by applying the commit, the more likely there will be conflicts when trying to revert it. While that won't be the case if the commit (or merge commit) is the current head of the branch, but if other commits and merges have been made since then, then conflicts are fare more likely.

On the other hand, smaller commits are much easier to revert because they tend to not change many files or many lines of code.

You're still talking about administrative decisions to compensate certain workers more or less. Again, if there is concern about workers being paid less, the solution is to not lower their compensation.

I have no problem with raising back-of-house wages, they are typically undercompensated compared to front-of-house, even though the work is comparable and all of it counts towards the dining experience. Raising kitchen wages does not necessitate lowering server wages, and suggesting it does only encourages division and confuses the situation. It is worth noting that tip pooling with kitchen staff is standard practice in many restaurants despite being flat out illegal until recently, so the situation you fear already exists, and could be remedied by moving away from a tipping system to explicit wages.

Again, it is worth formalizing the relationship and clearly allocating responsibilities.

>The UK is 0.5. I come from the UK, it has plenty of violent people in it.

Far, far more violent crime in the US. And there's essentially no guns in the UK.

Even still, rates have been falling in the US to my knowledge.

Edit:
For perspective, I live in Chicago. There are usually 80-100+ shootings a weekend here. Since all US cops have guns that means cops just in 1 city could theoretically shoot 100 people a weekend and technically be justified.
This really isn't the case in any other "rich" country as you put it.

Not that this doesn't mean there's not huge issues with policing and society, it just doesn't make sense to compare US to other countries.

> Let's face it, most web facing SW nowadays is like fast-food. Investing tons of time in writing quality documentation would by like a triple Michelin star chef writing a 20 page article about a doner kebab.

A lot depends on the project size and expected lifetime (honest expected lifetime). But you can look at it from another perspective: the most basic internal documentation, like commit messages explaining why something was done, interface-level comments explaining what a function or class does, internal comments explaining the tricky bits of implementation - they all increase velocity of product development. So it's a good thing to do on team level.

(But it's kind of a "pay it forward" thing. You may not benefit much from your own comments, but you'll be thankful for the ones your co-workers leave.)

Poor people commit a lot of crimes, and black people are disproportional poor due to centuries of racism.

This is besides the point. We have a real policing problem in America which we can see by the rate that U.S. police injure and kill citizens as compared to other countries. It's not even close.

There are many reasons for this, but we have to start by recognizing that there's a problem.
>Actually that's exactly the problem of systemic racism. Racism is at the level of the system and not the individual (though there are still individual racists out there for sure).

This is a neat explanatory theory but it is only one potential explanation and the reason that the modern movements that are predicated upon it are so dangerous is that it is treated as though it is the only explanation.

>It turns out that one of the likely reason for their disproportionate encounters with Police is their disproportionate socio-economic situation

There is absolutely nothing outside of correlation to indicate that this is a "likely" reason. The influence of a totally broken culture is drastically understated in socially acceptable discourse. This disproportionate rate of police encounters is unique to blacks and not nearly as prevalent among virtually any other low income socioeconomic group. It's trivial to blame injustices of the past (which plenty of other groups have experienced to various degrees) but even discussing the necessary, drastic change in culture required to solve this problem is taboo. And, ironically, such a position is incompatible with the modern progressive framework, within which such a solution would be seen as whitewashing or gentrification. And rightly so, ghetto black culture is inseparable from glorification of crime and violence.

So instead we blame the issue entirely on "systemic racism", the only proof of which is disparate outcome, and the solution will invariably lead the rest of society to suffer the effects of rampant criminality before leaders from black communities will, as has happened repeatedly in the past, later switch to complaining that black communities are underserved by police services, starting the cycle anew. Biden's now unpopular crime bill, along with disproportionate penalization of crack, had strong support from black leaders and black politicians, but today's ideologues class them with the same boogyman of so called systemic racism.
Racism used to mean something related to human conscious , motivation, psychological leaning. Now any measured discrepancies in race is "systematic racism".

Bitcoin alone is estimated to use around 129 TWh of electricity [1], compared to 12 TWh for Google or 200 TWh for literally all other data centers [2]. Hardly a drop in the bucket, unless that drop is the size of 10 buckets. Surely not even the most hardcore cryptocurrency enthusiast would argue that crypto provides anywhere near the utility of the rest of the entire internet.

Would you see a racist undertone in putting "Rod Johnson" or "Dick Fuller" on a list like this? Would you claim the humor comes from those people not belonging? Because I would bet anything that the list would have such names.

I would also bet anything that names like "Vinh Ng" or "Ravi Chakrabarti" aren't on that list. Because those names aren't funny in English. Because they don't mean anything in English. So there's no impedance mismatch.

I know it's popular these days to claim racism all the time, but there's no actual basis for it here.
It's funny that you mention this as if monorepos of course require custom tooling. Google started with off-the-shelf Perforce and that was fine for many years, long after their repo became truly huge. Only when it became monstrously huge did they need custom tools and even then they basically just re-implemented Perforce instead of adopting git concepts. You, too, can just use Perforce. It's even free for up to five users. You won't outgrow its limits until you get about a million engineer-years under your belt.

The reason git doesn't have partial repo cloning is because it was written by people without regard to past experience of software development organizations. It is suited to the radically decentralized group of Linux maintainers. It is likely that your organization much more closely resembles Google or Facebook than Linux. Perforce has had partial checkout since ~always, because that's a pretty obvious requirement when you stop and think about what software development companies do all day.
If modern browsers assume flawless internet connections, they'll be much worse than wget -c, at least at downloading large enough files for which there's a higher probability of something going wrong with certain internet connections.

John Deere and their tractor dealer network have been fighting and delaying farmer owner tractor right of repair efforts for years.

John Deere seems to be using the tactic that the tractor owner has the right to repair, but stalling on providing the ability/accessibility to repair.

It’s worth watching much higher value products sold/serviced by dealer networks(tractors/auto/trucks/powersports) very heavily reliant on service/repair revenue compared to electronic device manufacturers that are far less reliant.

> "Blacks are disproportionately a victim of this, so obviously they are more invested in this conversation..."

while i actually agree with most of what you said, the focus on (disproportionate, but few) deaths by police is misdirectional. like much media reporting, it's premised on an emotional trigger meant to short-circuit rational thinking, which is decidedly a diservice to public discourse. arguments against racism can, and should, stand entirely on the merits of racism (systemic or otherwise) simply being unjust and irrational, not on outrage-bait like this.

that's to say that the murders of black folks by police should direct our attention towards racism, not the numbers of murders by police, because we'll end up trying to solve "murders by police" rather than racism, and then pat ourselves on the back for a job well done, when it was anything but.

It’s not just one video. It’s just the latest example of many such videos. It’s another example of police committing crimes and getting away with it. For other examples lookup police officers and the domestic violence they routinely get away with.

Group X is horrible when there are consistently minor consequences when these things are exposed. In this case the brutality occurred months ago and only came to light through a lawsuit being filed. It was only then that the officers faced some repercussions. This is common and widespread. So called good police routinely coverup and protect the bad ones. Consequences only occur if there is publicly released video and even when there is released video convictions and real consequences are rare.

There is widespread usage of extra-judicial punishments by police with little to no consequences. Citizens exercising Constitutional get arrested where the only charge is resisting arrest. There is a policing problem in the U.S. Let’s not pretend that there isn’t one.

That's interesting. One might also just say a lot of evidence points to the US being a "highly developed poor country" (or something) - a third world country for a significant part of its citizens.

But more broadly, the US should be compared to the broad range of countries in the world. Just comparing US indeed just makes the country look "weird". But looking India, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, etc shed more light on the situation. Especially, as large country, the US contain a lot of development and underdevelopment (decay, corruption, etc).

>Vimeo? Peertube? Facebook? Self hosted website? Anywhere?

Those proposed alternatives don't address why the content creators like this piano teacher put their tutorials on Youtube:

++ $0 in hosting and bandwidth costs: self-hosted costs money that's often unpredictable, and Vimeo has platform membership fees

++ ad revenue to help make the effort of producing a video worthwhile : Peertube does not have relationship with ad sponsors

++ audience size & reach : Vimeo/Peertube/selfhosted/etc don't have comparable viewers. For niche content such as piano instruction, this makes building a financially sustainable audience more difficult

++ discovery recommendations from the platform: Vimeo/Peertube/selfhosted don't have the network effect ecosystem of other videos on music that can lead viewers to the piano teacher's tutorial videos.

When frustrated Youtubers ask "And put your content where?", they're not looking for dumb hosting sites to upload some mp4 files. Their question is really a short version of: "And put your content where that has the audience reach and monetization to make the video production worthwhile?"

A content creator like this piano teacher wants to make some extra money with Youtube videos. It's not the end of the world if she can't do that but the extra income could help offset the cancellation of in-person lessons because of pandemic social distancing. I don't think lecturing people repeatedly about Vimeo and Peertube is helpful.

EDIT reply to: >But the other rely to this comment makes a very good point - post in as many places as possible/desired _in addition_ to YouTube, and point to all the other places in that YouTube posting.

You're still losing sight of this thread's topic: the piano teacher is losing ad monetization money to a fraudulent claim of copyright. If she hypothetically uploaded her Moonlight Sonata tutorial to Peertube/Vimeo/selfhosting, she still gets $0 in ad share revenue from those alternative video hosters which makes the advice irrelevant.

Your "syndication" advice to distribute the videos to multiple sites solves a different problem such as de-platforming. E.g. Youtube deletes/censors her video or her entire channel.

That's not the problem she has. Her video is still there and viewable. But she doesn't want the ad monetization money stolen from her by a fraudulent claim.
