Even if we distribute such library and manufacturing vaults and ensure they are staffed by those who can use them - the world that arises post-cataclysm may not be one of great cooperation. I can foresee scenarios in which such valuables are used as tokens of power to subdue neighboring factions.

I believe we also need a colony to hold on to seeds of civilization in the very sense of the word.

I've actively searched for years to find a system to dump my brain into and Notion is the absolutely perfect fit for me. The fact that everything is a page, anything can go into a page, and you can nest forever on the fly is exactly what I need to model my actual IRL problems.

Putting together a Christmas list? Create a list and start adding stuff. Ahh crap, I know I want a new TV but I don't know any specifics. So I just open up the TV item in the list and dive into my research. Create a database inside there for prospective options, a separate view for finalists. Copy in images, links to articles and reviews without "losing my place."

I don't have to spend any mental energy thinking about how to organize my notes because I can just pick a direction and go without being stopped by anything. Everything lives where it's most relevant I guess it how I'd say it.

Hey, GitLab team member here.

Through our startup program, we offer a free one year Ultimate license to members of the current or two most recent YC batches with less than $3M in funding. More info here: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/startups/

If you don't meet the criteria, you can still test our Ultimate tier through a free trial: https://about.gitlab.com/free-trial/

I think you'll find there is a lot of value there for a startup that wants to focus on delivering value to their customers (rather than managing a complex toolchain).

We also have free SaaS and self-managed offerings that are available to everyone and are widely used by organizations of all sizes.

More likely than not, your current stock has appreciated significantly (at least at FAANG), so you would be leaving all the paper gains on the table. And it's not guaranteed that you're getting vesting stock at the next company.
Having a shallower flange distance theoretically allows for an improvement in image quality. The amount of air between the lens and sensor causes a small amount of diffraction since air isn't perfectly clear. The combination of diffraction caused by that gap and a super narrow depth of field is why most camera mounts don't have a lens wider than ~f/1.2. I can't imagine it would make much of a difference at narrower apertures, but there is at least a basis for having better image quality on a mirrorless sensor.

But I totally agree with you, the advances in optical technology and the EVFs make a much bigger difference.

So Wyden's issue is the DoD is buying access to these data sets from private industry? I'm not sure there has been a court ruling declaring this practice to be illegal, and it might very well be legal depending on the dataset's coverage and what it's intended use would be. The DoD's OGC are not stupid when it comes to these sorts of matters, and surely they've had to weigh in on this collection point already. I guess this is why Wyden is trying to pass legislation for this practice to be illegal unless explicitly directed by court order to do so? I'm betting the DoD has already anticipated this and filters out the domestic traffic they don't care about prior to ingest - I think they have to do so by law anyway. So Congress can pass a law saying a court order is needed first to buy these communications datasets, but the FISC will continue to be a rubber stamp for the IC, and not at all the friction barrier the legislators are hoping for. This strikes me as posturing and nothing more.

Public companies gives you X dollars worth of shares at the current price of your start date over 4 years. Meaning if today the shares are worth $1 and they want to give you $100k of shares, then you get 100k shares over 4 years.

If after 2 years, the unvested shares (50k) 3x in value, ($150k) you have to stay to continue to earn the same number of shares, but are worth 3x what they originally were.
1) A suit at or under $120 will probably be mostly or entirely synthetic. Even used, you may have trouble finding something in good shape that's wool at that price. You're gonna lose a lot of time trawling through estate and garage sales to achieve that, most likely. You don't need a super-expensive suit, but it needs to 1) fit (off-the-rack will need a tailor's hand unless you're the luckiest person in the world) and 2) not look like it's made out of nylon. If you're buying new and plan for regular wear over a long time, also consider getting a second pair of trousers with it.

2) Don't buy a black suit. It screams "I only own one suit, and it's this". It's the suit-color of CEOs who own 20 suits in many colors, and college interns who own exactly one. Navy or charcoal (a very dark grey) are much better for a business-oriented sole suit. Unless your family and friends are pretty fancy, the charcoal can probably do wedding & funeral duty, too, without getting you any funny looks. Works alright for a fancy dinner or evening event, too, unless we're talking something upscale enough that you need to be looking into dinner jackets (tuxes).

3) $120 might get you used leather shoes that are in OK shape. If you pay that much for new leather shoes, they are assuredly not leather and will fall apart in a hurry under actual wear. It'll also probably be obvious they're not real leather, especially as they wear in. Leather shoes (not boots—they're higher as there's more material) start around $200-240 new. If you're actually going to wear these shoes more than a couple times a year, go for the real thing. Used is fine, but, again, $120's pushing it on price (most of the used shoes on the market didn't start at $200ish, but more like $300+, is why most are still at or over $120 if they're in good condition)

"Experts" inspecting the source code for apps allowed for some bare minimum security checks. Companies buy out smaller software projects and add spyware to them fairly often (on the iPhone this usually happens via dylibs rather than the App publisher purposefully doing it.) and Apple has removed one of the only ways to catch this without an adequate replacement. The effect is much worse overall security.

* Statements this week by SEC that put doubt on crypto currency ETFs being approved in US markets.. which blows up one of the major bull cases- that crypto would become more main streamed, crypto linked products would hit traditional US exchanges and brokers.. increasing accessibility / addressable market.

People will be more invested in whatever immediately inconveniences them. Apple Arcade is doing the exact same thing with timed exclusives that appear before any console port (if at all). I didn't hear much fuss about Apple's "forcing" Oceanhorn 2 to stay on IOS for a year before coming to Switch (and still TBA on PC). It's in effect the exact same factor.

I'm sure once Apple had something the PC audience actually cared about, like Hades, that you'd hear the same complaints on Apple.

I understand some of the dislike on EGS, but the "anti-consumer" argument is a very shallow one. I also think it's a bit dishonest for a few others elsewhere to say "they've done nothing the past 2 years", despite having a public roadmap on Trello. Whether it's stuff you personally care about is certainly up for discussion, but they are much more transparent about plans than Valve is.

This is how it is supposed to work. If you are going someplace distant you can take the high speed train most of the way and then transfer to the slow regional for the last leg of the journey.

Unfortunately this system means you need parallel tracks, one set for the high speed express trains and another for the regionals. This isn't as bad as it seems, it requires double the steel and concrete, but the land is the expensive part of the deal and even though the parcel you need is wider the expense is not doubled.

Or you can run the high speed rail on routes that are optimal for it and leave the regional rail in its byzantine routes from the 30s that serve the locals well.

>Central banks printed billions to "save" the stockmarket.

I agree with most points but that wasn't the main motivation. It was to keep the economy going in terms of people spending money when much real production was stopped due to covid. Now covid is mostly over, at least in the west, and spending is rising leading to inflation, bank printing will probably stop and the stockmarket fall. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
> Why not? It would seem that's something we're going to have to master in order to populate the galaxy.

I think the unstated premise here is that populating the galaxy is something we should do. Looking around at what we're doing here on Earth, I think humanity populating the galaxy would be a net negative for the galaxy.

You know how the aliens from Independence Day are portrayed as a race that goes from planet to planet draining its resources until there's a husk left? That's exactly what humanity would do. There's no question about that.

> the best defense against a political attack is allowing Bitcoin to scale by 100 or 1,000 times in throughput

Ok, but are there different kinds of political attacks? What's the general description of a political attack? How specifically would bitcoin throughput solve the issue?

My brief thoughts:

One kind of political attack I can think of is one where some group decides they don't like bitcoin, and want to kill it. So they try to make laws that make bitcoin harder to use, or perhaps outright ban it. Increasing bitcoin's adoption would help reduce the number of people who don't have a stake in bitcoin, and thus reduce the number of people who would support such an attack. Increasing on-chain throughput may increase adoption (at what rate, I don't know), which would increase the rate at which we achieve some minimum level of adoption (perhaps 20%-30%?) to where an attack is unlikely to succeed.

Another kind of political attack I can think of is one where some group decides to advocate for some dangerous change to bitcoin. They convince a lot of people to want this change, and thus have the backing to attempt to get people to use that change. Adoption wouldn't really solve this problem, in fact, it might make this problem worse since the more people that adopt bitcoin, the more unsophisticated users (that aren't familiar with computer security, especially bitcoin security issues) there are that might support dangerous changes.

> convince me that the assumptions make any sense at all from the perspective of someone who wants to see people financially empowered by cryptocurrency

It sounds like you're asking me to bias my assumptions, or to explain to you how my assumptions are biased in a way you like. That honestly sounds a bit hypocrticial. My goal is to find the ideal tradeoffs that make the Bitcoin system be secure against adversarial attacks, not to find tradeoffs that maximize the adoption rate of bitcoin but as a result leave the system vulnerable to significant attacks.

> one has to assume potential malicious intentions behind writings

No one is forcing you to assume anything. I'm just going to ignore your accusations for now but if you continue to insult me I might just stop talking to you.
