Since you are in a conciliatory mood, you might also want to reconsider the whole "throwing gays off buildings" thing, because that doesn't happen in Iran. LGBT rights are by no means great in Iran, but this kind of hyperbole does not help anyone.

OpenBSD is top of the line when it comes to security, stability on supported hardware, consistency, and coherence.

The entire distribution is taken care of by a single team. Security is a higher priority than additional features. Documentation mistakes are considered bugs that need to be fixed. Minimal surprises.

I got deep into router implementations like we are talking about years ago, combining ipsec, gre, bgp, and qos, lots of end-points and queues. OpenBSD had more features and less bugs in this space than cisco routers at the time. I was very impressed.

Like so many other things, it may depend on what you're doing and what you are comfortable with.
It is occasionally clear cut.

But what if those same pictures are tweeted, with only a vague text like "This is how war looks like"? I've seen this in the last week, specifically with 6-year old Syrian civil war pictures, and placed strategically among tweets about recent israel/palestine war.

Some of the replies to the poster were "hey, this is old pictures" to which they replied "I never claimed otherwise".

Is this fake news by any objective measure?

If you somehow detect (and disallow) provably fake news, it just means that it will shift to deliberately vague statements, strategically placed among true statements, so that they cannot be faulted as "false".

I think the problem is inherently unsolvable.
Do you think attitudes towards homosexuality are any more progressive in Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc? No, but they’re “good” US client states and help further US interests in the region so it’s okay when they dismember a journalist inside an embassy and whatever else besides.
This too. And what's odd is that I hear people who say "Oh, in prison, they're safe from society." That's not true historically. Some of the most dangerous people in history were imprisoned, multiple times, and not killed for fear of public anger - only to get out of prison and wreak havoc.

Hitler was found guilty of treason, but was given a more humane 5 years in prison instead of the death penalty that would have historically been applied to treasonous people. He wrote Mein Kampf, got out of prison, started World War II, and killed millions.

Stalin was exiled to Siberia multiple times for his crimes including bank robbery, kidnappings, and extortion instead of being given death. He came back to Russia for the February Revolution, overthrew the Russian empire, started the Gulag system, and caused the deaths of millions.

For all we know, the Unabomber is in prison right now, but what happens if he escaped? It is not historically impossible, or even implausible, that he couldn't repeat history like many revolutionaries who were arrested, got out, and took over.

There is zero guarantee historically that people in prison are 100% totally safely isolated from society and can't do harm in the future.

>cryptocurrency defeats current international sanction tools.

If one values international law, or the, "international order" (as Secretary of State Blinken put it, without irony), then a bright line needs be drawn between, "international sanction tools" that are used by the UN and the unilateral sanctions issued by the US.

>Will Bitcoin lead to more war as a result of weakening the power of sanctions?

Bellicose nations have always issued demands to other sovereign nations backed by the threat of illegal wars of aggression. Will the ability of targeted nations to avoid being starved to death via the use of bitcoin lead to more war? Possibly, but is the problem there really bitcoin, or rogue nations who consider themselves above international law?

The effect of multi-generational wealth cannot be overstated really. I live in the UK and earn a very good salary (£60k), but I'm far from being "rich". I do feel rich, which is great, but I can walk ten minutes down the road and see multi-million pound houses that, barring some extremely fortuitous event, someone like me will never, ever be able to own.

It doesn't get my down, though. Those people with those houses rarely know what they have. It doesn't make them any happier. I'm happy knowing that everything I have has been earnt by me. I'm not sure I would be so happy if I didn't earn a very good salary, though.

that's pretty much how I feel, too. I really love the flow of hooks and I write a ton of them -- majority of the logic I write tend to end up in hooks and I really love that.

There's something to having a function that can hold state or load its state on mount, etc.
Then they will either adapt or be pushed out for managers who don’t need to micromanage and foster trust and responsibility.
Really depends on the job market though. If the startup goes belly up but you were making good money in the interim and you can quickly find a new job, it's not much risk.

A founder who eats in to savings and goes unpaid for two years is on an entirely different level of risk profile.

But yes, if your primary concern is job security, in general you should not be working for a startup, regardless of how many points you get.

I understand what your point is, it is just your point is invalid.

You say you just drop a golang binary into any linux enviroment and it'll just run. Except it won't. If I just upload the file it won't just run. I need to run the binary. Literally, you need to do more than just upload the binary to the enviroment. Where as with PHP with many hosters you do just need to upload the files and it is deploy. As you said you can't get simplier than just uploading the files.

Secondary, if you have to make exclusions to proof your point of simplicity then it is not as simple as you state.

Thirdly, your deployment would be unstable. If an error occurs someone would manually have to restart it. For any production deployment you would need supervisior. And if you were going to deploy a new version you would have to stop supervisor, stop your process, upload and then restart supervisor. Quite simply your trival deployment is not production ready and would not be how someone would deploy it.

I get it you like golang, I like it to, but PHP has it beat on deployablity. It's got years on it when it comes to improving the ecosystem around it.
> not requiring installation

It's a strange quirk of Windows that when you install a new piece of software, it will ask you in the wizard where you want to store it (C: drive or D: drive). D: is usually an external hard-drive, and so I select that. But the D: drive can magically become the E: drive in some cases when you have other media inserted like an SD card. So this is why I prefer portability since the path is agnostic and portable software doesn't care about drive letters.

Even the Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics are only a selection of some of Wittgenstein's notebooks made by the editors of his posthumous publications. It is not a work by Wittgenstein in the same sense as the Tractatus or the Philosophical Investigations.

The Part II of the Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics, which is the part on Cantor, is especially questionable. It is compiled from two documents of Wittgenstein's Nachlass, Ms-117 and Ms-121, but only about a third of the remarks in Ms-121 were included in the published book. There are also other notebooks were Wittgenstein discussed Cantor (most notably Ms-162a and Ms-126b) and which were not published at all. The editors made the decision to exclude some of these remarks because Wittgenstein's notebooks often contain merely drafts of remarks that were never fully developed, so it would be wrong to say that the published book is a deliberate misrepresentation of Wittgenstein's thoughts, but the situation is definitely quite nuanced and complex.

I personally think that the Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics are very interesting, but that it's a disservice to Wittgenstein and any reader of his works to read his remarks on the philosophy of mathematics as a disconnected collection of aphorisms. The context really matters and his more mathematical remarks only make sense against the backdrop of the Philosophical Investigations and perhaps even his later writings such as On Certainty.
Encryption is tolerated because it also allows protecting regular people from criminals, in ways which allowed to build e-commerce on top, and ultimately enabling great economic boom on the Internet. If it was only about securing messaging, it would likely have been banned already.
A professor of robotics once told me that these things are not robots because they do work within an internal, controlled environment. A robot instead operates in or interacts with an external, uncontrolled environment. I don't think this thing would count as a robot in any sense unless there's some sophisticated sensory processing going on.

From what I’ve read, modern GPUs have moved most of this work from fixed function hardware to implicitly inserted shader assembly. So, we’re on the hook for manually writing that code. But, it’s not missing out on as much hardware magic as one might think.

If I understand correctly, there has been so much focus of cramming general compute into GPUs that the fixed function hardware for pixel work has been stripped down to visibility rasterization, barycentric generation (accessible through the SV_barycectric instruction), and texture sampling (given coordinates and derivatives).
That doesn't sound like much of a "human right" to me, if a maximum sentence can be extended by a parole board.

https://lancasteronline.com/opinion/columnists/tire-thumper-...

>Drivers of big rigs, with a gazillion tires, don’t want to take the time to apply a pressure gauge to each one...

so according to this, the intended market for a tire thumper is evidently drivers of 18 wheelers, as it would take an inordinate amount of time to check the tire pressure of every single tire with a pressure gauge. that being said, it very clearly can be used for other, more nefarious purposes, and I would be inclined to assume that a large percentage of individuals purchasing one intend to use it for said other purposes.

it's conceptually similar to how gas stations, etc, ostensibly sell "glass roses" as a gift a and a certain type of tire pressure gauge as a tool, when in reality, the majority of purchases for them are to be used as paraphernalia for consuming illicit substances (methamphetamine/any substance to be vaporized via indirect heat and freebase cocaine/"crack", respectively.)

it's telling in the latter case that you can usually find chore boy or some other similar scouring pad generally sold near the gauge (which is used as a screen for capturing the melted substance,) especially in places where no such cleaning products are sold elsewhere.

If you're saying not all startups are bad, I completely agree with you, but we're talking about a specific kind here. I've worked at some really challenging startups where I also did overtime during deploys(I did get to charge the hours though) in which I learned a lot. AND THEN we actually worked on reducing those issues for the future.

They didn't actually make that part of the job either. I could have rejected if I wanted to. And there was never a vision alignment talk with miniscule equity with an unwritten agreement of doing anything that was asked otherwise I'd kiss my equity goodbye.

EDIT: I can't believe I have to clarify this. Most of the startups that would fit my above description don't market themselves as startups to begin with. I.e. they don't think their distinguishing feature is to be a startup with equity.
Interesting. didn't know that.
What a weird argument for the death penalty. If you worry about this aspect surely you can just ask the convict if they prefer to stay in prison or if they prefer to die. And not in a philosophical thought experiment way, but in the most direct way possible: “You have been found a very bad egg by the rules of the area you are in. We decided to never let you out again. Since this decision you have been in this facility for x days. Do you want to die today or do you want to die in a future uncertain date?” And see what that particular person thinks instead of some armchair philosopher on some random website.
That’s the whole point of the article. Wealth-rich and money-rich are not the same thing.

I have access to pretty good healthcare (both privately And publicly). I have access to museums, and the internet, and I have a fire brigade and ambulances if I have some sort of accident. All of these things are wealth that we’ve built as a society and only tangentially related to how much money I personally have.
Sterilization is usually covered by health insurance.

What we are talking about here is having kids when you can’t afford them. This is mostly due to a nation-wide lack of education on the subject and rising cost of living.

It does not make sense to have kids before having a stable job/house/car. Adoption/abortion is a much better option at that point, as politically incorrect to say your whole life and income-generating capacity will be ruined.

This country has so much opportunity and no one seems to take advantage of it, it is very strange.

I filled out the fafsa and had to get tax returns from my parents because they were poor immigrants, spammed a bunch of local organizations to get scholarships. This was not easy but it was taking personal responsibility for my situation and I managed to graduate debt-free.

Contrast that to the predatory-lenders (colleges) that let 18 year olds take out 50k in student loans, which can and will perpetuate the cycle of intergenerational poverty, but for some reason that isn’t really talked about because the reality is that not all college degrees are remotely equal.
It may be stated poorly but what OP is trying to say is that in terms of just output, the relative time difference in the 100m dash is smaller than the relative software output between them.

Obviously that’s silly because the physical result is approached asymptotically. World class athletes train and compete their whole lives of a fractional difference in result. Clearly the output by the human brain is not constrained by something asymptotic as what the human body can physically be trained to accomplish.

Wittgenstein never held the view that Gödel's theorem was wrong or erroneous, though. He "only" thought that the philosophical interpretations and the view of the theorem as astounding and incredibly deep were misleading.
Yea, evolution and climate change are pretty solid. But the projected models do no favor to climate science. Those are bogus. They've mostly been wrong in the past and will be mostly wrong again in the future. There are way too many variables and unknowns, and those accumulate the further out the model reaches.

One thing I learned during the dot-bomb era is think hard about holding too much of your company's stock and, especially, think really hard about exercising options and then not selling. Fortunately the stock drifted back up a ways over time and then my former company was acquired for a nice spike. So between that and tax loss offsets, I didn't do that bad. But I've been careful since. (Of course, more recently, I'd have been better off holding more for longer but I can't really complain.)
I've worked at 3 startups, founded 2, and worked at 1 bigco.

2/3 startups had excellent returns in the form of equity. Life changing over time. Startups: 66% hit rate.

Bigco was mentally draining and sucked. Bigco: 0% hit rate.

Starting the first company was a failure, but the second one seems to be doing pretty well. 50% hit rate.

Does anyone consider FAANG to be startups? I'm confused by your comment.
Startups are the most efficient organisations in the economy. Because you have to get shit done and can't fuck around. A lot of people love to fuck around and do "fake work". Only output and impact matter. Hard work is "hard", and at startups you can't hide "not working". It sounds pedantic but that's quite the reality, a lot of people just don't know what "work" feels like, and don't want to do it.

All you're saying here is that a person can't survive completely on their own. That's always been true, and is just part of The Human Condition, not a plot by evil capitalists.

Division of labor is the foundation of civilization, and how we have become so incredibly wealthy.

In a division of labor system, everyone needs to contribute as much as they benefit, on average, and the system of mostly voluntary trade is how we keep track of that. You trade your labor for money, that you in turn trade with others for the result of their labor.

Demanding to share the fruits of that system - which come from the work of countless other people - without being willing to contribute to it with your own work is both selfish and antisocial.

I think your scenario requires that governments not influence the monetary policy of their countries, which is far removed from reality. We already see china cracking down on it, and the subsequent reaction in the market.

No country is going to give up its control of monetary policy in exchange for cryptocurrency - there will simply be digital currencies also controlled by governments. We already see this happening. The result will be even more traceable, controllable transactions - not this anarcho currency you're envisioning.
Thumping is a quick and dirty check for a grossly under pressure tire. This video shows the sound difference… https://youtu.be/6yboxSUt26s

You can use a hammer, a bat, a pry bar, anything with some mass and some reach so you can easily hit the inner tire of the dual pair. (All of which are perfectly serviceable weapons in their own right.)

And sure, in an ideal world maybe people would use gauges, or have internal monitors, or some fancy solution, but time is money and money is money, so a quick thumping suffices and don’t follow the trucks so closely that you get hit by the fragments went their retreaded tires come apart.
