Yes, correct. First of all, you'd probably DYOR and ensure that the governance tokens at least have the appearance of being community owned rather than centralised, and secondly you'd probably need to ask yourself what having majority voting power on a governance token really offers. It's like shareholder voting power (which is typically held by a majority or a few majority stakeholders), you probably don't want to vote for something if it's going to throw all your other investors under the bus.

Stepping back from that, you need to understand that initially you're dealing with smart contracts. The governors can't fundamentally change the underlying aspects of the contract.

So let's say, "worst case scenario", the governors could decide to reduce the emissions rate of governance tokens on the staking pools you're interested in. Well, they haven't fundamentally changed the underlying contract, you can still unstake your LP token from the farming contract, withdraw your liquidity from the pool and end up with (some combination of) your original capital + any fees you earned over that time (impermanent loss is a topic for another conversation).

I get hooked 3 months ago by one of the Notion's ambassador August Bradley who make an incredible system and course avalaible for free on Youtube.

I'm excited about the API and all automations i will make by scripting for my own use cases (like an easy way to add a new item on a certain database from my CLI, or a mail adresse hooked to a database).

But all your comments freak me out. As a developer, i dont't know if i have to do my own markdown system hosted locally. Notion is a great product, and guys like August Bradley open my eyes for everything i can do with it.

You know for a dedicated lisp machine, I'm surprised to see it doesn't have ( and ) accessible without using a modifier key.
You're right but not for this reason. The important part is the pre decode, which does exactly this merging of bytes in macro ops. Each cycle, skylake can convert max 16 bytes in max 6 macro ops. These macro ops are then passed to the insn decoders.

Which is impressive, if you think about it. But it is also complicated machinery for a part that's basically free when insns are fixed width and you wire the buffer straight to the instruction decoders. Expanding the pre decoder to 32 bytes would take a lot of hardware, while fixed width just means a few more wires.
That’s surprising if your app spent most of the time in database calls, since 1) native code is still faster than pypy and 2) most of the time spent in database libraries is spent waiting for the database to return.
>For example, what is happening in India.

What is happening in India? The death rate per capita there is still way less than in the US or UK. How come the death rate in Florida is less than that in California and New York, in spite of no lockdowns and an older population in Florida?

There's no statistical evidence that countries with stricter lockdowns had a lower death rate than those without.
Thanks for the feedback. The accuracy is the main issue on Chrome. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27147876
I have a personal theory that humans do not fully understand death rate when it's spread out widely across many geographic areas. Let's say, for instance, that the covid19 death rate is about 450 people a day. It might be more or less than that right now, I haven't specifically checked (but I do recall that it's easily been 2000-3000 a day for some periods of time in very recent memory). But that might be 450 people where 1 dies in some town, another 2 die in another city, and so on, totaling 450.

Whereas if you were to load a 747-400 with 450 people and fly it into the side of a mountain in one catastrophic absurd event every day of the week, for months, it would be shocking world stopping news. Why? What changed? It's the same number of dead people, right?

Following this theory to a further extent, I think it helps to explain a lot about the people who believe covid19 is a "hoax" or a "scam". They don't see it, it isn't splashy and shocking, it's diffuse and spread out in such a way that their instinctual response is to go "just get on with your life...".

I feel like mandating masks (in US) at this point is quite pointless, pretty much everyone who wants to protect themselves can get vaccinated (and they most likely did already), so they don't need to worry about serious symptoms and people who don't wanna get vaccinated are clearly not worried about them so why force any of these groups to wear masks? Scared people are protected, not scared don't want protection and are prepare to bear consequences, the group of people who would like to get vaccinated but they can't for medical reasons is extremely small and I don't see similar restrictions because of other risks. So why even bother with recommending to mask anywhere?

This makes sense only in countries where you can't get immediately vaccinated (pretty much everywhere outside US and few other countries like Israel).
My brain sputters out when I try to go from timeless relations (which assume spatial dimensionality as a given) to a timeless universe within which I sit with the illusion of time! I can't get my mind around anything that doesn't also assume time as a given -- all I end up with is a load of geometry sitting around doing nothing.
Even that is sort of sensible, actually. Just not in the exact manner depicted.

In say, an Unix system, a tape robot is going to be hooked up to some sort of SCSI device, and probably nothing prevents two people from commanding it at once in conflicting ways.

Two people logged into the same system trying to figure out who the other one is and kill their login process or to disable whatever way the other guy used to get in -- also possible.

Even two people typing at each other is a thing. Linux has the 'write' and 'wall' commands, and there even was a realtime chat program:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yX29R81doY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctyvNidBF0w

So yes, the entire scenario of two people breaking into the same computer, sending conflicting commands to the tape robot, trying to kick the other one out, and even sending chat messages at each other is very much something that's plausible on an Unix system. Just without the colorful graphics.
> I can tell you the whole 'but they told you masks were useless' thing is a post-facto rationalization to gain some common ground with the less conspiratorial people.

So is the post-facto realization of "we knew masks work, we just didn't want the people to grab all the supply".
In Belgium, basically the same thing happened but at the same time they also said covid was just a flu.

So, a lot of trust lost.

Thanks for the pointer, I wasn't aware of this! I was wondering what the problem is, because I use psycopg2-binary in production without problems for ages. It seems the danger of psycopg2-binary is that one can end up with segfaults, due to the libpq library (and hence psycopg2) might use a different libssl than the system one (use by Python, with e.g. urllib and requests): https://www.psycopg.org/articles/2018/02/08/psycopg-274-rele...
>Traffic accidents decrease, other accidental fatalities decreases, the number of people who catch covid decrease in a lockdown.

What's the point of being alive if you can't live life? Fine if you choose that for yourself, but you're a monster if you'd dare to assume you have the right to confine everybody else to such a miserable existence.

Marx has a great quote along those lines:

"The human body is mortal by nature. Hence illnesses are inevitable. Why does a man only go to the doctor when he is ill, and not when he is well? Because not only the illness, but even the doctor is an evil. Under constant medical tutelage, life would be regarded as an evil and the human body as an object for treatment by medical institutions. Is not death more desirable than life that is a mere preventive measure against death? Does not life involve also free movement? What is any illness except life that is hampered in its freedom? A perpetual physician would be an illness in which one would not even have the prospect of dying, but only of living. Let life die; death must not live. Has not the spirit more right than the body?"

if Indian numbers have to be trusted they are really not that bad, some European countries had even worse numbers per capita

people sometimes forget the size of Indian population and just look at nominal numbers instead per capita numbers, considering how poor is India and how bad is Indian healthcare these numbers comparable wiuth Europe are actually pretty low
This is an opinion piece and the headline & article are clickbait IMHO.

From Tether's chart, they literally have 2.9% in cash. So I guess the headline technically checks out.

But Tether reported over 75% held in cash equivalents, the same type of liquid assets Apple reports when reporters say Apple is sitting on billions in 'cash'

I think maybe more interesting, Tether reports only 1.64% slice of pie has some crypto holdings. Which seems kind of interesting given the theories about some shady btc/usd/tether pumping cycle scam might be happening behind the scenes.

You want Mars because you want the asteroids. You want the moon because you want asteroids. Moon because you need to get the material to Earth and it is better to mine in space. Mars because you need access to the asteroid belt. They are just different steps towards the same goal.

One thing I liked about Red Mars is how it brought up independence. Astronauts are well known to rebel against their respective commands (US, Russian, etc). It'll be interesting when command cannot do anything about it on a longer timeframe than your stay on the ISS (or skylab).

I too tried notion for a while and I noticed that it's just getting slower and slower with each release. Even on my M1 mac it's not a very performant app which is sad. It's a bit of a jack of all trades, while doing nothing especially well.

Just recently I tried using it again for a small project (3-4 people) and it quickly got chaotic and messy (used for simple task board, wiki, blogpost drafts).

Right now, I recommend:

- Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) for personal knowledge database (although it's also electron...)

It has always been this way, read about some of the things the ancient Romans or renaissance Brits/French got up to when you feel like it.
I think your point cuts both ways. People can’t appreciate how big the US population is and the normal death rate. Every year around 2.8 million people die in the US from all causes. Around 7,500 people every day. So 450 a day isn’t that incredible of a number given the scale of the population.

When an airplane crashes, the reaction is less about loss of 100-300 lives, but the way in which it happens. If a loaded 747 crashed every day, the negative reaction wouldn’t be primarily because people died (that happens en masse daily), but because the safest mode of travel just became unsafe.

Not just subduction but also erosion. Outside of dedicated digging efforts like deep mines or such, the fossils we find today are the ones close to the surface that are almost eroded and will be gone soon (on geologic timescales).

There is a nice curious droid video on the topic whether a humans if they went extinct tomorrow, wouldn't create a fossil record similar to dinosaurs, simply because we've been on planet earth for a too short period. https://youtu.be/8xDK2LgSeyk

> What we have to remember is that they existed for over 165 million years, 3300 times longer than modern humans have been around and the number of creatures that lived in that time frame alone, not including very small insect-sized ones must be in the trillions. However, only a tiny number of those would have been in the right conditions to be quickly covered in sediment and then fossilized. Then millions of years later they happen to be exposed on the surface at just the right time before they are eroded away for us to find them.
The latest estimate is that the total number of modern humans to have ever existed over the 50,000 years we have been around is about 107 billion. But 50,000 years is a very small slice of geological time and all of our 5000 years of recorded history would be a fraction of that, and the last 200 years or so since the industrial revolution, a tiny fraction of that again, maybe a razor-thin sliver of a darkened layer somewhere in the dozens of kilometers of limestone, siltstone, and shale of the future earth's crust. Depending on where we look, there are gaps covering millions of years in the fossil records, if we were to slip into one of those, we too would be lost in time.

> And I do moderately crazy things like using it to sync git repos to create replicas across multiple machines instead of manually using git across 5 machines and a hundred or so repos.

You could set up your own git remote for this, Gitea is all the rage I've heard. But git remotes can be implemented many ways, no need for a dedicated server running.

> So not only are you wrong about home many people Israel has killed in Gaza, you’re supporting the very org that’s doing the killing

You can't know that, there's only one source in Gaza that can give death numbers, and that's the Palestinian "government" ( iirc their health ministry). Maybe the numbers are inflated, maybe some of the deaths are due to Hamas actions and not Israeli. Maybe.

In any case, Israel is striking Gaza, and civilians, people, including children, are dying. Is that OK for you because Hamas disregards human life, including Palestinian lives?

And like i said, Hamas have nothing else they can do besides violence. Palestinian people, living in an open air prison or as second class citizens, and being expelled for Jewish settlers, can't do anything to stop any of that. Is it any wonder some, probably the majority, support Hamas? What's their alternative? Accept Israel has won and leave their own lands for illegal resettlement? Hardly a great choice

My first attempt, “tv license”, brings back a form-filling service above the real one too.

I think Google has really increased the number of in-search ads recently. It used to be that they were obvious and at the top/side, now they look like regular results and often fill up the whole first page. IMO they know they are dominant enough in the market now that they can get away with providing garbage results for some short term profit, and will just dial it back if viable competitors come along to stop anyone else entering the market.
Pump and dump arguably isn't immoral. It's just using herd mentality, if it wasn't illegal people might actually try to think before they buy and sell.
So they advertise, but I'm a long time dropbox user and every time I needed to sync to a new device in my local network, with all firewalls disabled and lan sync enabled...crickets.
That's a bit of a mischaracterization. The 75% that they're describing as "Cash & Cash Equivalents" might be similar to money market funds in composition, but we can't know whether it is or not because they don't give any details about the commercial paper. They don't even make the claim that it's asset-backed. Because they aren't saying anything about that, and they're not audited, they could very well be making riskier bets.

But more importantly, there's the 25% of their funds that bears absolutely no resemblance to anything a money market fund would do. The quote the FT article publishes from Martin Walker looks pretty reasonable to me:

> It is pretty clear looking at the makeup of the reserves — a tiny proportion of the reserves are cash on account at banks — that Tether is operating like a bank but with none of the normal disclosure.

> They are creating a dollar substitute and basically running a banking and payments business but without the oversight that anyone else doing a similar kind of business would have.
where exactly incentives end and discrimination starts? it's very narrow line

I think people should take care about their own health, if you are in risk group get vaccinated, if you are not in risk group what's the point urging someone to get vaccinated if risk groups are vaccinated or are ready to bear risks?
Well that obviously depends on what the commercial paper is. The treasuries are going to be liquid under most conditions, but who knows with paper.
That is a good point. Somewhat similar, we seem to accept in the range of 10,000-11,000 drunk driving deaths a year as fairly normal [1]. Because it is, for the most part, a widely spread out set of events with a few cars crashing by themselves, or into one other car... Yet we still drive everywhere. But if you ask people, someone might tell you that they're more nervous flying (despite statistics clearly showing that per hour of driving, or per hour riding in a 777, you're far more likely to die in the car).

From the article: "It is not known exactly what fraction of infections could be prevented if all building and transport ventilation systems on the planet were ideal (in terms of controlling airborne infections), or the cost of design and retrofitting to make them ideal."

I think this is the key question. Surely better ventilation would have prevented some infections in the covid pandemic. But how many? And to decide that we need not just manifestos by civil engineers (like this article) but convincing research results, probably in collaboration with people who actually know some things about viruses as well. And without it, could organizations like the WHO or CDC have plausibly recommended building upgrades?
We do this and see it as a benefit. If something is important enough not to take out of a chat, is it really that important?
