Pairing works great; as long as everyone is on the same "wavelength." That's absolutely vital, and has both good and bad sides.

The good, is what the author was talking about. That team cohesiveness, that he disturbingly compared to being in a Borg Collective, is something that can't be easily quantified, but can amplify energy and positive morale. The Marines have known this for a couple of hundred years. Every Marine I've ever talked to, has described, almost verbatim, what he said. About how the squads act as a unit; almost without thinking. The results are tough to argue with. They are a highly effective fighting force.

The price can be burnout (as mentioned). When everything we do is being channeled and amplified, we have to be "on" all the time. We don't get that "five minutes of spacing out" between modules. In my case, that's absolutely required.

It's also a young person's game (like being a Marine infantryman). As I've gotten older, my personal process has become almost supernatural, but it has also become incredibly draining, and that "down time" is now no longer a luxury, but a necessity. On days that I have had some really challenging work, like chasing a pernicious bug, or setting up scaffolding for a new architecture, I can be absolutely flattened by bedtime. I feel as if I have spent the day digging trenches.

Also, I work best in my own head. I can create a pretty sizable architecture in my head, and don't need to write down a thing. That makes for very fast development, and tremendous flexibility. I can tear down an entire architectural construct, if it proves ineffective, and rebuild it, in a few minutes (in my head).

The minute I need to communicate it, however, that efficiency goes right into the bog.
This opens up a very complicated can of worms:

even as a person who wants their team to be as tight-knit as possible, it seems paternalistic for me to decide what level of housing is acceptable for my employees. Where's the line?

That's not necessarily a good thing. Think of a fire.
Child pornography was never a significant use of the Internet.
I'm not even pro-crypto really, but you keep making this wild claim without substantiating it. You're speculating anecdotally on the majority usage pattern of Bitcoin.
That's extremely reductive - for a lot of people, having time makes their life more fulfilling. Having hobbies, pursuing goals, raising a family, etc. those are all important things that make us human.

You may like to work your trade, and that makes you happy, but it doesn't apply to everyone.
Faux Latin and "Latin" declension is annoying because it's often just plain wrong.
I don't like discussing politics online, but that is so difficult with this topic. Without naming names, here's a few of my thoughts.

1. We would have had a better response from the previous administration if it had not happened in an election year.
2. If the previous administration had faced the problem instead of trying to pretend like it would go away like magic, I think that they would still be in office today.
3. The CDC needs to remain apolitical as much as possible.
Have you heard or tried DEFI yet? Ethereum has grown so much the past two years, along with competitors like Terra, Fantom, Polygon, etc... You can easily earn 10-30% on stablecoins using dApps like curve.fi, yearn.fi, bancor.finance, aave.com, etc... It's a revolution of the financial industry and a new global decentralized settlement layer. Stop letting TradFi banks rip you off, experiment with DEFI and you will never want to hold money in a legacy bank again. It's grown from 0-85B in just 2 years.
You don't need a ten-thousand year head start to be widely adopted. Bitcoin is 12 years old now. PayPal was that old in 2010/2011. PayPal was definitely more widely adopted at that age than Bitcoin is now.

And besides, claiming that "traditional currency has a ten-thousand year head start" lumps so many wildly different forms of currency into a single category that the category is borderline meaningless.
That's neat.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Transactions Started on Binance
Binance announced in the morning that it will list Shiba Inu (SHIB) in the innovation space.
Alrighty. Well, I just remember last years run on toilet paper. It was a “why?”, people buying much more than needed. I don’t wanna be one of them.

I still say “stock up” though at least for what you can actually plan to use. Just like the above with toilet paper, supply-chains are going funky.
Reminds me a bit about a recent blogpost about KSP: https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/dev-diaries/6509/. Basically they draw circles as a fixed amount of points as well, but if you zoom enough the circle becomes straight lines. With some work, they're drawing more points on the visible part of the circle as you zoom in.

You're assuming everyone agrees on "need". People disagree with governments all the time, so it's not surprising here that a website operator might consider a cookie to be necessary for the operation if their service, but the government views their needs differently?
Some of my favorite Wolfe work is his Latro series. It takes place in antiquity but is fairly fantastical.

It's a very different setting, but tonally similar in some ways. A lot of ancient cultural and religious stuff is key to the plot but not explained (and often the protagonist is lost too for reasons that will be obvious when you start) so you get that same backstory-detective experience when reading.

It also takes the unreliable narrator trope to weird new lengths even by Wolfe's standards. I won't get into the details for spoiler reasons but the narrator is unwittingly unreliable for reasons outside of his control but is fully aware of this state. While the reader regularly has information that the protagonist should have but no longer does. The prose mechanics of how this is achieved is wonderful.
How to Write the Perfect Email to Investors
Just because they held appropriate balance at one point in time doesn't mean they are actually sitting on dollar reserves corresponding to tethers. They could have borrowed to reach these numbers for the report.

The current state is still that the majority of Bitcoin volume comes from tether, and these tethers aren't regulated and required to exist the same way dollars traded for stocks are required to exist. They already mixed tether reserves with other funds in the past, don't trust them to suddenly stop.
I don’t think so. I feel that GTK is pretty boring and won’t last long. Sorry if you got offended.

This is why it's important to think of decisions and choices differently. It's useful to think of a choice as something that submits you to the options presented, whereas a decision is necessarily made under uncertainty. It's worth thinking of them as the difference between perfect and imperfect information games, and the strategies for people who make decisions vs. those who make choices are using a different locus of control. A choice assumes an external locus, where a decision exercises an internal one.

Some people are very good at selecting among options, others are good at acting under uncertainty. It's important to recognize what kind of information problem you are solving, and whether you need to employ a choice or a decision strategy.

There are a bunch of these english synonyms that confuse and conflate some very important differences, and I think this is one of them.
> How do I access the British Library from India?

You clearly can't (though India no special shortage of excellent libraries). But how important is access? Is the chip shop down the road from you the Worlds Greatest Restaurant just because it's the easiest to get to? Or is that place in Paris with 3 Michelin stars better?

The web-as-a-library relies on people creating good stuff and paying for it to be on the web for free. It just doesn't happen that often and Wikipedia is, I'm afraid, not the last word on human knowledge.
I'm not expected to be friendly and fun around adults I don't know -- so why is it that I'm expected to be friendly and fun around kids? They're still strangers. I dread spending time with kids I barely know in the same way I dread spending time with adults I barely know. I have friends with kids, but spending time with those kids is like spending time with those friends' parents. Yes, they're related to my friends, but they're still strangers to me.

Then I had a kid... and nothing changed about other kids. I still don't know them and I still feel awkward around them. But I do know my kid. He likes spending time with me and I like spending time with him, even though it can be boring/tiring sometimes.

Yes, exactly. My point is why it is important what colour your skin is. Are there arguments that are only valid because someone is white? Isn't that racist?
PayPal or other online banking apps are nowhere near as big of a leap as crypto is. Not even remotely comparable. The former is simply making a trusted single location for a database of transactions. The latter is making that database global and uncontrollable by any single entity. A vastly more difficult and complex task.

And again, the idea that a technology can be deemed useless a mere decade after its launch is deeply historically ignorant. Automobiles, airplanes, he printing press, the list goes on and on. None of these things replaced their competitors in a decade.
Come on, are you really going to argue this well-known fact without providing any examples to the contrary?

Well guess what, I have a Q story and I'll sell it for your BTC!
Being a maintainer of a secure syslog implementation around
2001, I was asked to join the IETF syslog group. There were a couple of syslog-ng guys, a Cisco guy, and I think a Microsoft guy. Plus a couple of randoms that didn't participate. The Cisco/Microsoft guys there looked like people whose sole job was to sit on standard comitees. They were not developers, at least not as a day job.

I was trying to reach a compromise in a simple syslog standard so it would be easier to authenticate and analyze. And trying to make it good enough for non-*nix systems. Nobody else cared about this.

It was one of the worst time wasters in my life. It was all politics. The syslog-ng guys were adamant with their proposal which was a very, very over-complicated idea based on another standard (BEEP). And I strongly suspect the Cisco/Microsoft guys were intentionally trying to make the group not work in subtle ways. After months, I just left.

They eventually published RFC 3195. And it's barely used, of course.

It seems Cisco's implementation still uses DIGEST-MD5 for authentication.
I’ve been a simple customer since the beginning. I use Novo banking for my business after I had major problems with Chase when they returned a $16k check and blamed it on me then locked me out of my account, truly a horrific experience for a customer with a 20 year business history. But I digress. Overall I was pretty happy with simple.

When I came to this transition or any transition like this I take it as serious as a heart surgery, knowing one wrong move will send me into a gauntlet of forms and hours of phone calls. Situations like this, on this scale might be rare but on a personal level I’ve had terrible experiences with an assortment of companies due to malfunctioning software or bad employees.

I was warned about the simple transition weeks in advance. I completed the transition Saturday morning with no errors. My accounts are working fine. Sorry others didn’t have my experience.
Russia and China have been suspected of doing things like this for years. And who says it's just to inconvenience them? There will other things happening because of this and this could impact other nations in a postive manner.
Correct, Availability is the amount of time you are available to read and write data. Durability is the amount of time your data is not lost. The metrics mentioned in this post are about availability. Most cloud vendors provide SLAs of 99.95% availability. One problem to solve when working with a cloud vendor is that they need to upgrade their OS images every now and then, so to get the highest availability one must integrate with the cloud APIs announcing those changes.
The price discovery is built by Ocean Protocol. I merely use their APIs to give users an overview of what is happening within their data markets.
I would have thought the share of ad block users would be higher. That being said, it is pretty telling that 6 of the top 10 add-ons are ad blockers.
While it's possible that decide can be traced back to caedere (to cut, kill), it's also plausibly related to cadere (to fall, die; more relevantly, come to pass). The latter etymology also gives rise to words like "coincidence" (things happened together) and even "casual" (happened [by chance]).

The Romans used a lot of euphemisms for death ("gave up his breath" is a common one, which gives rise to "expire").
Creating a Simple Mobile App Prototype
Prototyping tools for mobile applications can be helpful not only for designers but also for non-designers. Check this article to know how to create an app prototype.
Same. It's one thing to design for an embedded system with a small set of requirements. It's another altogether for desktops, where extreme compatibility and an excess of features is required to support all the different end-user cases. I love Alpine for containers, but I'm sure it wouldn't work out of the box as my desktop. The Linux GUI environment has added an order of magnitude more complexity since I dug into it as a teen, and hardware support is non-trivial. Heck, just doing encrypted LVM root and swap with hibernation still seems to give most distros trouble.
Dirfy – an async webpath scanner based on asyhttp
If a company has a honest business, then i agree with you. Money is the blood in their vein and they need it and should get it.

Well, i cant speak for others, but when i talk about company greed i think of practices like using fake cheese to cut costs but hide it from the customer.

Or when they break their product by update and tell you to buy the bigger one. (Like Synology recently)
Or to intentionally slow down the product by Update (like Apple) and lie to your customers about doing it.

Or drying up the well from villages(Like Nestle).

Or demanding tax returns from taxes you never paid (Cum-Ex).

Those companies give a shit on society for each dollar they can get no matter what.

that is greedy and in my opinion very wrong.

Every time i read a comment about how someone defends that i reflect upon how short sighted or antisocial a person must be.
Those people have probably no skill beside locust style investment and stealing lolipops from little babies.
We launch young Business Administrators into the society and they know so little about how to actually be productive. That's where such comments come from. How could you blame them? The entire Society failed them by not ensuring their education includes perspectives and knowledge that allows them to deliver actual value to economy or society.
Investors and customers don't pay for pessimistic explanations.
They want someone to say it'll happen and many people are okay paying for it then.

It always drives me crazy when people take the work of a poet or author literally and then pedantically hound any joy or meaning out of the words.

The point is that humans are animals, treat your animal well.

Untangling the Web (NSA OSINT doorstop, 2007) [pdf]
Layperson here. As I understand it, if there were no bonds or repulsive forces between the atoms that made up Earth, they would all be in free fall, and they would all fall toward the center of the Earth's mass. Since these are inertial paths, there's no force compelling them to fall; they're just following the curvature of spacetime.

The electrostatic forces and bonds between atoms are exactly what prevents these atoms from following inertial paths. The atoms act on each other, and collectively produce a force radially outwards from the center of Earth supporting its mass.

Earth isn't pulling itself apart because nothing is pulling in the first place. All the mass is pushing against itself, refusing to be packed tighter, despite the flow of spacetime around it drawing it together over time.

When we're standing on Earth, our particles are following the same flows of spacetime toward the core of Earth. From our inertial frame, the ground below us is moving toward us, because as noted Earth resists being compacted further. So we meet the surface, we both resist being compacted by the other, and we experience a stable force.

> If the government and central bank were to create a trillion new dollars and give the 100 richest people in the country an extra $10 billion each with that money, what would they spend it on? All of their physical needs and desires are met many times over already.

Rich people are rich because they invest when they can instead of spending. Poor people spend because they think that's what rich people do and they want to feel rich. Expecting rich people to suddenly behave like poor people makes no sense.

These wealthy people would invest the money, likely by buying up other businesses that didn't get the handout.

Interesting, did not know about that. But 250% of federal poverty level is

> For coverage effective in 2021, 250 percent of the federal poverty level in the continental U.S. is $31,900 for a single individual, $54,300 for a family of three, and $87,900 for a family of six. (These amounts are higher in Alaska and Hawaii, since they have higher federal poverty levels).

That’s rough for a household of two, especially if they live in a high tax state.
This sounds a lot more difficult than using Zig where you just need to find the right build flag. Maybe it's easy once you already know which exact packages to get for each platform, where to put them and how to tell clang about them. But if you don't know this, researching this can easily take hours, at least for me.
I don’t think societies neglect for its citizens is easily tied solely to age. At least in my experience, it’s a pretty constant lack of care for me. I’ve had doctors tell me I’m making it up when I’m in shattering, blinding pain more than I care to remember. Had companies treat me like no amount of offensive behavior to outright bullying is a problem if I’m the victim. This is in 20s-30s.

Though I realize ageism is a thing. One of my 60+ coworkers has basically been told they’re too old for any sort of advancement.

The Autonomous Vehicle World Is Shrinking – IT’S Overdue
Tangentially related, a glimpse into academia.

The paper[1] was contributed in PNAS, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. PNAS is a very well regarded, and high impact journal.

Members of National Academy of Science, usually proeminent professors, have the possibility to "contribute" their work. They can choose reviewers, and the paper will be accepted by the editors (an important step for such a journal). When you are in this position, finding reviewers that will not reject you is really easy: academia is a small world with a few really powerful individuals.

I think the reason for this is that NAS members performs a lot of editorial works for the Academy, and they are very good scientist hence their contribution should be valued, and fast.

This has been the source of a lot of outrage (I was maintaining a list but I can't find it). Some NAS members used this process to rapidly publish when timing was important (such as covid-19 research), scooping the work of researchers that don't have such a convenient outlet. It is especially problematic when a professor is a member of the NAS for his work in some field, but uses "contributed" papers to push mediocre or naive work in another field (s)he doesn't know at all (such as physicist in epidemiological modeling). A lot of very bad quality work ended up in the news because it was in PNAS.

To mitigate these issues, I think it's now limited to two papers per year. Moreover, the paper mentions "contributed by" and the name of the reviewers. But if you go and check some google scholar page, some people made a career out of it. For any idea, you get an audience and tons of credibility for free.
