People obviously want to read other people’s shit, or we wouldn’t have books, newspapers, RSS readers, search engines, etc.

But people don’t want to just read it because it’s there. They want to read it because they think they’ll get something out of it. If they think it will take too much effort, then they won’t want to read it.

Keep writing. Don’t just be a consumer of other people’s writing. Don’t say “I’ll never be Stephen King so what’s the point”. Keep writing. Even if people aren’t interested today, one day they will be.

Here’s a different perspective that might help: If you don’t enjoy being on mountains, why would you waste your life on that?

For more helpful advice, find people who also like learning languages/frameworks and spend time with them. Ideally, not at the same company you’re in but that totally works too.
I think it's good you're passionate about work and work in something you are passionate about.

BUT.. since they don't pay you for this overtime, you should find better use of your time. will it be programming? so be it, but do it for yourself. work on personal projects, and don't forget to clock out completely once in a while, have some social time. if mountains aren't your thing that's fine, surround yourself with the people you do want to be with.
> Generally speaking, once a fund reaches the level outperformance of ARK, they underperform the market.

Source for this? It would make sense to me if your claim was that future performance for this cohort is average. But, you seem to making a stronger claim -- that is, this cohort of outperforming funds performs worse than average going forward.

I lost my father yesterday due to COVID-19 related complications. He was not only my guiding light but also for my whole extended family of 50+ people as head of the house. He came from a impoverished farmer family from rural India, and ensured that all his brothers and kids get quality education. We’re still reeling from his loss.

Years ago I was grieving the loss a dear relative and my father shared some wise words with me. Everyone has limited time on Earth, and we should be aware of the constant presence of death amongst us. The person we lost might not be with us anymore, I aren’t we fortunate enough to have been with them and share some great moments together? Why not celebrate their life and the good memories we all had with them?

Last few days were the hardest for me, as I found myself rudderless and grieving my heart out. But slowly his wise words came back to me parting the dark clouds and eventually I accepted the finality of it. It’s still a long way for me and my family but at least I know we all will be celebrating his wondrous journey and his legacy.

So hang on there internet friend, life is a wonderful gift and we all should celebrate and remember the departed person for all the warmth they brought to us by their presence.
I'll note that you probably mean this in the original sense of Zeno's philosophy and not the modern use, which has more of a connotation of emotional repression. Somewhere along the way from ancient Greece "stoic" began to mistake the original's sense of not allowing yourself to be controlled by your emotions to something like not experiencing them to begin with. Though to be fair, even the original held that certain things like fear were not rational and fully developed stoics wouldn't experience it, and in general that emotional extremes were to be avoided.

In some ways it is very like Zen Buddhism in this sense of accepting things as they come without being rule by them. (The naming is only very coincidentally similar-- Zeno's stoicism and Zen)

Web browsers are available on practically every PC but SSH clients less so (especially on older Windows, I think Windows 10 has one now but still). This seems like a great way to check in on long running tasks from wherever you are (e.g. on a mobile phone or hotel computer), and being able to disable input means you don't have to worry too much about someone finding the URL and running malicious commands.

It's a little more complicated than that. Brod (who it would be more accurate to characterize as Kafka's close friend than a purely professional publisher) did not promise to destroy the works; on the contrary he made clear that he would do no such thing. It has been suggested that by leaving his works to Brod, Kafka intended that they should not be destroyed, despite his words contradicting this. (Kafka had a complex relationship with his own writing and so this ambivalence was not out of character.)

A majority of nodes who listen to each other (mutual agreement).

>How do you know if you really have a majority or someone is faking a lot of identities and/or hiding a lot of real ones from you?

You decide in advance from which nodes you want to have a majority agreement.
It doesn't matter how many are out there only the ones you listen to matter (for you).
However if you choose 1000 nodes and 900 of them are offline then your node will halt because it can not reach a majority. In other words you are forced to listen to reliable nodes if you want to have a reliable node.
Also if you listen to 10 but they are all owned by a single person. He can lie to your node. In other words you are forced to listen to nodes operated by different entities. In reality there are for example companies, universities, maybe states non-profit organizations etc. Anyone who wants to use it has aligned interest to not collude with others especially competing entities like 2 different banks or payment provider.

This leads to a core of nodes who mostly all listen to each other. If you want to know the final state without even running a node this would be it.
You ask as man nodes as possible form that core of nodes.
What the core or nodes made final is final.

Spinning up thousands of nodes dont matter. No one will listen to them.
They can all listen to each-other then you essentially created a fork.
No one cares, you can no affect what is final and you cant fool anyone unless the voluntary listen to your nodes.

>.... hiding a lot of real ones from you?

The node network is p2p with signed messages there is no hiding.
There is relaying ofc so each messages can go the fastest way possible
but due to privet/public key encryption there is no tampering possible.
If a node would block traffic it just goes another way.
If a node "disappears" its considered offline so it is ignored but only if the rest still reaches majority. If too many go offline the network halts until majority can be reached again.

>And if you later find out you had the wrong "majority" what do you do, if the state is final from your perspective?

There can not be a "wrong majority" unless you listen to the wrong network of nodes.
If you intentionally dont listen to the current core of the network you basically choose to listen to another network aka a fork.

We as a society need to become more comfortable with the destruction of information. Not every piece of past data is valuable. The hypothetical future value of most past data is less than the cost of preserving it.
When I started my company we chose to use Protonmail. My advice to anyone who wants secure email: don't use protonmail.

The email search is completely useless. I don't understand how it can possibly be so difficult to do a substring search on a corpus and rank them in some kind of sane way. Searching for old emails based on content is an exercise in futility. After a few years of using an email service, search becomes really important.

It is exceedingly difficult to pull data out. You need dev ops skills to do it.

They charge for users that are disabled, and you can only stop paying for them if all of the associated data is deleted.

So they effectively hold your data hostage (yes, you can get it out but it time-consuming and requires technical skills).

I finally bit the bullet and paid a dev ops person (and gave him access to all my data) and switched to fastmail (at least it's not google) a few months ago. It's been an incredible relief.
I have two motorcycles, a BMW R1200GS with an Akrapovic slip-on exhaust which sounds fantastic but isn't particularly loud. It came with the bike new from BMW so I think that is the reason. The second bike I have is a fire breathing KTM 300 two-stroke enduro which not only sounds loud but also probably pollutes like like a truck. If I ride it directly from my house I sometimes just freewheel the first 50-100 m down the hill before I start it. It's a bit embarrassing and I wish it would be a bit quieter. I'm looking into a FMF pipe that is quieter.

No, you and OC are equating labor with leisure. Women were treated as property until very recently in history, and a married man was at significant advantage to an unmarried man.

Some women of the time had a choice: to enrol in a relationship with a man and toil for his household, or to toil for a paltry income; many needed to do both. Skydiving and stamp collecting were only options for the independently wealthy
Well first, IPv6 doesn't need NAT, and mostly never uses NAT. If IPv6 devices used NAT, they would be protected. But since they aren't using NAT, they aren't protected. You're right that devices that enable IPv6 (and network routers that give out IPv6 addresses) are not protected by NAT, but luckily it's still a small amount of traffic/devices worldwide. But this is changing, and so NAT won't help people for much longer.

Second, SPI isn't used for security here. It's true that SPI is used by NAT, and that SPI can be used to prevent, say, a specially crafted packet from passing from a public network through a router into a private network. But something other than SPI has to actually enforce that. That "something" is usually extra features of the network stack, like disabling source-routing, reverse-path filtering, ARP filtering, etc. All SPI is doing is helping the NAT engine track the connections it is translating.

For "good faith" traffic (that is, not crafted by an attacker to work around crappy NAT routers) NAT still provides security. Actually it's not NAT at all that's providing the security - it's just the routing. You can't pass traffic from a public network into a private network, and almost all devices behind NAT are on private networks. So NAT provides security merely by keeping devices on a private network.

Sounds great, but if every gas station fill up will result in a 'taxable event', people will need more infrastructure around tracking and reporting those activities.

I see more integration of packaged solutions/SAAS and as I seem to becoming an architect rather than a developer, maybe that's not so bad.

This is not the usual story so far posted. I left the armed forces the same as I joined them, that is with no skills or bits of paper saying I could do stuff. In this situation I ended up with the only job I could get: security guard.

I spent 9 months getting messed around by the company at just over minimum wage and looked down upon by the people I was contracted to work for.

Eventually I ended up on one building, my contract way roving, the company paid much less to workers working at only one building, the building manager liked me and wanted to keep me, my company to keep him happy kept me there. The company decided that since I was now permanent on this building I should accept the lower wage for the same work, I refused. I told them to take me off the building, they didn't.

They then decided to do some sums and worked out I would only be out of pocket 200 a month, failing to take into account the overtime I was entitled to on my current contract by working the longer hours on the building. I refused to sign the new contract. They refused to answer my questions about whether they would do the same job for less money.

The managers then came down on me about my uniform and a few other things. The area I was working in was cold all year round, well below working regs. I was wearing my coat. They said this wasn't allowed but refused to provide an alternative. I was ready for something like this and had the regs ready. They then decided I wasn't allowed to read books at the desk and other wanky things like that. I pushed back and refused, what was I meant to be doing with my time? Just stare forward like a robot?

Anyway they went away and came up with the perfect solution. I wouldn't get any pay rise like all the other employees until my wage was the same as the other permanent building workers. I quit on the spot and refused to give the month's notice I was required to; I'd interviewed for another job and got it, it paid nearly double, and there were other perks. The managers, taken aback, started to suddenly want me to stay. What would it take for me to stay? The same pay and perks as the new job I said.

Before they pulled their shit I wouldn't have interviewed but they bought it on themselves. Best day of that job!

What they describe from their vantage point of many thousands of feet up is not hovering, it's more like flitting back and forth with no discernible trajectory.

Like a large flake of ice falling.

The other pilot said the motion was like if you dropped your cell phone in the kitchen and it was bouncing around before settling down.

Exactly like a falling massive but flat flake of snowy ice that fell off of an object that had entered the atmosphere from outer space and fallen to the water, where the early chunks remained causing whitecaps.

Not hovering. Erratic motion.

right, that’s the social/legal problem, that consent is assumed, and i’d argue, coerced. bundling like this is actually an anti-trust concern, because it’s using power in one market (for instance, search) to exert control in another (data brokerage), but we’ve collectively lost sight of this being a problem.

but yes, they should be required to get your unambiguous consent for data sharing separate from any other transaction, otherwise it shouldn’t be considered consent.
Several years ago I worked a contract for (an already at the time) famously shitty publicly traded company. First assignment was writing a utility to be used when business units were shut down: deallocating all resources, erasing server data, scorched earth — that’s what they wanted.

They refused to pay for any kind of test environment and insisted I build and test on their production network.

There was no way I was going to do that (just imagine what it would look like if something went wrong), so I paid for cloud hosting myself. I wrote the utility, tested it thoroughly, and delivered it to the client. We had a very positive code review, and then I gave notice that I’d be terminating the contract early.

My non-reimbursed expenses weren’t very much at all, maybe $100 USD at most; it was the principle of the thing combined with a worry for what unprofessional thing they’d demand of me next.
I was ambiguous in my comment, but in my mind I was thinking about the loss of privacy from newer electronic transaction standards vs credit cards transactions. I suspect itemized data is generally not transmitted with the newer standards but I could be wrong.
I can't imagine anything more convenient than waiting around for over two hours to ensure my transaction is confirmed: https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_confirmation_...

Confirmation time has also recently spiked to over two days.

BTC has many of the attributes of an asset like gold, but as a currency, transaction times make it something of a bust.
Someone passive aggressively gives you with a backhanded compliment to set you up for failure. They stroke your ego, build you up in front if people, then offer a trove of BS that needs to be accomplished that only you are capable of accomplishing and makes it difficult for you to refute.

Instead of being pressured into saying yes, you quickly think about the information and ask a general question like, "well that might be possible, I'm personally not sure how, perhaps you had some ideas on how we can accomplish that in the proposed timeline?" and so forth.

If someone is marketing you a BS solution, you can usually dip down to a kernel of truth and quickly form a well crafted open ended question to ask how they address some problem their solution clearly couldn't. "With our application, you can easily interface with any platform" -- "that's awesome, how much effort is typically required to do that? Do you have example cases?" And so on.

You could also use an even more general/vague question similar to the one you just posed: asking someone to elaborate on something that's clearly BS usually catches them off guard if they were just making up nonsense and had no thought behind their statement. If they had some thought, it's going to be pretty clear. All that's needed is to pepper on some politeness to make it: "that sounds intriguing and thought provoking, could you elaborate on that idea more?"

These are benign on the surface but can be used offensively and without any clarity of the genuine intent to pass the BS baton around.
Let me see if I can say restate this more clearly.

I have always accepted the possibility that the virus escaped from a lab in China. However, like many other Americans, I refused to be drawn into public speculation about it by people, like Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, with a political and ideological interest in stoking xenophobia. In particular, I saw their attempt to blame China--before definitive evidence was acquired--as an attempt to shift blame away for the Trump administration's dismal response to the virus to external actors.

And yes, we have seen a rise in anti-Asian hate crime and sinophobia in America, largely as a result of this kind of rhetoric.
