How so?

Mining rate and therefore energy costs are based on the blockchain mining parameters, not the number of users. If there were a ton more users, you'd likely see more transactions on the Lightning network, with Lightning nodes settling out on the main Bitcoin blockchain, but it wouldn't impact energy use substantially.

About the only thing that impacts energy use at this point is the price. One can reasonably estimate that, steady state, the value of the energy used is roughly equal to the total block rewards.
Thanks! And ya, we found the spec! We are in the middle of adding a feature to help devsecops teams notice when org.opencontainers.image.revision and org.opencontainers.image.source labels are missing (those were the first two which we considered mandatory to ensure that downstream admission controllers can validate checks that are indexed by sha). I had not realized that you were proposing further annotations for base images here. That sounds really promising. I think having a standard set of information available in the images is critical.
That misses the point. The problem isn't income. The problem is there is no "simple" way to assess wealth.

Actually, simplest thing to do mathematically is to skip the dollar-denominated accounting entirely, and just pay the government in kind i.e. asset forfeiture / putting the means of production in partial state control.

e.g. the gov owns stock in a company based on the distribution of private ownership (is it equal like ESOP or unequal like Facebook and Google?), and without regard to the market price of the stock.

I challenge the mathematically literate in America to really think through this.
Yes. And ProtonMail could also, if they desire it (if that functionality isn't there already). Email is plaintext, if you don't want something to be read you need to encrypt it before it goes out the wire.
Nobody thinks that homeless is something that can't be changed. The only reason to update language like this is to divide people and induce us and them behaviour.

"Making language clearer doesn't hurt"

Well, it does in this case, since it gives people the false belief that those who didn't update their language actually believes that homeless people can't be helped. That phenomena can then be studied by social scientists, creating articles about how some group views homelessness as a permanent state and that is the reason for all the problems...
Nah be very careful with that.

There are highly potent synthetics which are passed off as LSD, where unlike LSD, taking a small multiple of a single dose can be physically dangerous.

I've also heard of (hell experienced once) worse from pure LSD than a terrifying 8 hours. It's worthy of great respect and caution, and I don't recommend it to anyone on that basis.

Which isn't to say no one should take it, just that it won't be because I urged them to.
Visa doesn't use flights to transfer money so you aren't talking about the same thing.

Other cryptocurrencies that use less energy can be used to transfer money to Venezuela so Bitcoin still loses against other cryptocurrencies for fringe use cases.
Yes, I’ve experienced the same. Always between 10-18miles and through nature in a part of town different from my day-to-day.
I live in New York, which has a net outflow of Federal revenues that makes life in many states possible. Most of the states impacted have outflows like that.

So frankly, I think it’s fair for some Midwest farmer with land left barely fertile due to mono cropping to pay the full shot of capital gains on his farm, after all, the farm would be worthless without federal price supports, irrigation, levee systems, and direct payments for the corn. Likewise, the Floridian using the homestead laws to launder money in property should be paying the full shot on the Miami condo.

When demographics starts shifting the congress in a few years, I’m sure similar scorched earth policy will happen, which sucks, becuase it will utterly destroy whatever rural economy exists in these states.
This is exactly why open source messaging is important.

The statement from the article:

European Union police agency Europol described Operation Trojan Shield/Greenlight as the "biggest ever law enforcement operation against encrypted communication".

Is telling; their way of mind is that any use of encrypted communication is something to be targeted.

This time it was something that absolutely needed taken down. I'm not so sure about next time.
You wouldn't need 80,000 servers to host the activity of one user.
Thanks for the pointer to the article!

Yeah, that's a good point. The PM is sometimes pretty constrained by the business. Maybe it's just a grass is greener thing. Have you been anywhere where the eng team had some say in what they make?
I'm not the OP, but the three listed things are fairly bland issues by libertarian standards.

Occupational licensing: it's gatekeeping that drives up the cost of services, reduces competition and quality. For example, when I dislocated my shoulder, the offsite radiologist who read the X-ray declared that it wasn't dislocated. He was wrong. Luckily for me, the staff at the clinic ignored his diagnosis and reduced it anyway.

Over scheduling of drugs: In the US, cannabis is a Schedule I drug at the federal level. This is the same bucket as heroin and the date rape drug. Prosecutors can use (or abuse) prosecutorial discretion to decide who to pursue for cannabis offenses, resulting in unequal outcomes based on your socioeconomic status. As a Canadian, I can be denied entry to the US if I admit having used cannabis. This seems wasteful, and impairs useful things like economic migration or families visiting each other.

Civil asset forfeiture: there are perverse incentives here where: (1) the agency seizing the money gets to use it for their operating expenses and (2) the burden of proof rests on the person whose property is seized. There are documented cases of police targeting travellers with out of state plates, knowing that they are unlikely to return to fight their case in court. As someone who takes road trips through the US, this affects me.

If you want to stir the libertarian pot, you should talk about child labour, consensual slavery and selling body parts. Occupational licensing, over scheduling of drugs and civil asset forfeiture aren't that out there, IMO.
"A month ago I decided to try and get out of the reading slump I have been in - slump is a kind description for what has been a half-decade period of me not picking up a book."

> IMO, we need to curb foreign tax havens

That depends on what you mean. The US government (and a lot of US citizens) think that the tax on money Apple earns on selling iPhones in Europe belongs to the US, not France. But I feel if an iPhone is sold in a French building by a French person to another French person, with money transfered between two French bank accounts, all of that in French society, that that tax money belongs to the French and the US needs to keep its grubby paws off of it. No bullshit 'if you bring it back in the US we will forgo half of the tax on it and protect you internationally from the fallout'.
The explanation I got was that you can't live outside in many other locales and that the cheaper places cut the social security low enough that it's hard to live there too. The social services and weather situation here is such that from a healthcare and social security check perspective it works out better and is less risky to the tenuously housed.
Wow, seriously weird. These "microdosing reports" feel a bit like BitCoin propaganda. I mean, like if someone was trying to establish a market that wouldn't exist by simple demand. So demand is being created by telling people in a sneaky way that they are kind of missing out on something. Besides, I would choose a nice walk in the woods everytime over microdosing a psychedelic. For one, inhaling nature directly and having your senses recalibrated to natural events is just wonderful, and microdosing is simply too shallow to make up for that. If you draw a comparison, I guess you need to compare to a full trip. And even that is best done out in the nature :-)
1. cargo tree

2. same, though most people depend on versions from crates.io (or another registry) rather than git

3. you list your dependencies in Cargo.toml, and it will figure out all of the needed transitive dependencies and versions

4. same, via cargo update

5. same, via 'cargo vendor'

6. same, via the 'patch' section in cargo.toml
I don't think the problem is an obsession with collaboration. I've observed that it's mostly a defensive measure.

The amount of damage that (sorry for putting it this way)... stupid people... can do is unbounded. The potential blast radius of bad decisions grows with the size of the company. Recovering from bad decisions is also very costly.

The flip side of autonomy and empowerment is just that. When it's in the hands of a person that has a sense of pride in their work, a high bar for quality, determination to get the job done, loves the customer/user, etc then it's a recipe for productivity and happiness. When it's in the hands of a person who constantly ships broken code, has no work ethic, blames or doesn't care about the user, is jumping on every newest fad, etc then it can kill a whole company or a department.

The only solution I've seen is hiring VERY defensively ("one bad apple..."), keep the team small, and keep the scope/focus very narrow. That's just not possible in the enterprise space though.
The best part of this: "Musk responded to an initial query with a lone punctuation mark: “?”"
hey, this is super cool. do you suppose it works in modern freedos as well
No, not necessarily. A single person can sometimes make a difference but in real life such people are frequently just pushed aside. It is more a matter of luck than morality about where they happen to be in the crowd, whether they can make themselves heard at a critical moment and so on.

I mean sure, if you see an injustice taking place in front of you, you should certainly attempt to intervene. But there is absolutely not guarantee your intervention will be effective.
Yes thanks. That thing sounds like a Trojan horse; VAT and UBI is much better.
> Sure enough, the function StrAppend potentially overflows a size_t size

How should this happen in practice? The three strings would have to be larger than the available address space...
How? (I'm not trolling, I'm sincerely curious. I respect and appreciate your viewpoint pmoriarty even though I don't always agree with you.)

I feel like it's probably a bad idea to let individuals acquire so much wealth and power that they rival some nations, yet I haven't been able to frame an ethical way to prevent it if the "0.001%" have acquired their wealth legitimately, that is, by the rules we all must follow.
at a previous job, i wrote a vim script to take the current line or selected line, and to send it plus newline to a specific term in vim. so there was a buffer i was writing with all the commands i was doing, and i had the ability to get the current command executing in the term, which i could also see on screen, in a different split. i think about this script some, but haven't recreated it.

i thought it was especially nice for some of the sql experimentation i was doing. whether my term was in a shell or in psql, the script would work the same.

rather than try to make all my terminal programs behave like vim, the idea was to make vim my primary way of editing commands. the eclim plugin for eclipse works sort of similarly-ish (albiet it is way way more complex): you can open a vim session that knows about & integrates with the eclipse session, but you can stay in vim, versus trying to enrich eclipse. this is the headless mode of eclim- there is also a headed mode where vim is embedded into eclipse.
The operators we offer in our clusters (e.g. ECK, Prometheus, etc... the ArgoCD ApplicationSet generators make it easy to configure which features are installed on each cluster), as well as the applications developed by the development teams. Our work isn't complete yet (still working on sync for secrets and RBAC), but it's working nicely so far.

Drought-hit 'tinderbox' California braces for fires in months ahead
I agree with you - humans have thousands of years of experience figuring out who and what to trust. It’s kind of amazing how easy it is to destroy a reputation, especially when you consider how hard it is to build one.
Always easier to socially engineer in one way or another than to crack keys.
Because there's a tax shelter for that case - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxpayer_Relief_Act_of_1997
Why? Just make the user go through the reset-password flow.
If the inheritor somehow has no capital gain, shouldn't the entire basis be taxed as income instead?

E.g. if I win a car in a contest or get paid in stock for working, I have to pay income tax on the current value when I receive it.

Norway Plans to Scale Up Building with Wood
Sorry, just a layman's medical question:

If it's been shown to reduce plaque but not been shown to improve outcomes, is that positive evidence that it won't improve outcomes? Or is it more that noticing plaque reduction is fast while noticing outcome improvements would take a while? In other words, is this a case of "it's shown not to be efficacious, so wtf approval?" or is this more a case of "jury's out, so release it in the meantime"?

The 0C limit was true in the 80s, but isn't nearly as true now. My unit, which is far from a top of the line heat pump, holds a COP >1 down to about -15F, or -26C.

However, you're correct about coils icing up. That impacts some regions more than others. I'm in a fairly dry high desert climate, and our coils don't ice up unless we have fog (at which point, yes, they ice badly). There are defrost cycles that reverse the unit and melt the ice, but it is a problem in climates where it tends very humid in the winter.

However, there are a lot of places where it works fine, and one can always use a dual fuel setup, where a heat pump is used down to whatever temperature it starts having problems, then switch over to something else (gas fired furnaces are the usual backing option) in the extreme cold. You still get the energy savings of the heat pump while it works well, but can keep a house warm down to quite chilly temperatures.

Of course, if it gets really cold, a ground source unit becomes worth looking at (heat exchange with the ground, either via a deep well or a bunch of coils under the yard).
I don't think that's a good enough reason. They could make it a 'use at your own risk' type situation and/or let people band together in a group and talk out and try to work through any issues they have without their involvement.

You need to let people start getting ready for this any way you can, especially as this is a potentially niche product that's not going to have any major developers working on it.

Best I can do right now is work on game logic elsewhere and try to be ready to do a port when they finally go public with it, hopefully before its official release.
That’s what a a median of $1.6 million and a minimum of 1.0 million means. Half of their population was 1.0 to 1.6 Million the other half was over 1.6 million.
Or the ANOM app is being leaked now to throw the blame off the honeypot tumbler they're still running.
I fail to see how living in a city changes this substantially. The white collar knowledge work that's driving the economy of modern cities is not something kids there see much of either.
This is the most your-mileage-may-vary thread I've read on HN in a long time!

Taking some hongos with my buddies in the Yucatan was an experience I will always treasure. But at that point in my life it had been at least two months since I'd set foot in air conditioning, we were mostly living on the beaches (I was the token gringo).

Social media interactions are like daily Black Swan events to most people. The scale of the interactions is just not intuitive enough for them to process in a healthy way.

I’m optimistic that eventually, society can learn to deal with it, however.
I've thought about this too and believe a major factor is the population - life is cheap in Asia because of the numbers. We don't care unless a lot of people start dying. Even if preventive laws exist (for example, wearing helmet is compulsory while driving two-wheelers) a lot of Asians are lax with it and sometimes ignore it (common excuses include hot weather). An accident in Asian coutries is often a small footnote in the media where as in western societies it may be a prominent news. Ofcourse, there are exceptions like Korea, Japan and Singapore, but they also have fewer population than other asian countries.
they says "SDK" and then say "web based". So will I be able to run native code on this thing or no?

It's not really just "historical animosity" if the Russian Federation is invading and occupying neighboring sovereign states as we speak.
Seems like the author is assuming the official images get security updates applied immediately. They don't. So you need to apply system package updates yourself, separately from updating the base image.

https://pythonspeed.com/articles/security-updates-in-docker/ has an example of a security update that was missing in the official Ubuntu base image, two weeks after Ubuntu released the updated package. I've also seen missing security updates in the Debian base images used for things like Python and OpenJDK official base images.

This means that you need to rebuild automatically yourself on a schedule (or as result of distro updates), e.g. https://pythonspeed.com/articles/docker-cache-insecure-image...
Keeping the FROM readable is indeed a challenge. We thought about a Dockerfile comment to add the context that developers need. There's this peculiar aspect of docker image naming where you can include both a tag and a digest (repository:tag@digest) too. I also think that the pull request is a good opportunity to give good context about where you are now, and what the proposed upstream changes are really bringing.
The inability of seasteaders to see how the scope and might of modern Naval power is going to get in the way of this little fantasy is breathtaking.
Not really. I've got like 5 or 6 ways I can play Game Boy games now, I don't need another device for it. There's no other way I can play these games, so it's a new experience for me.
Ok, so it was not a straw man argument, then.

I feel like you're veering dangerously close to victim blaming here. Them asking the customer to erase their devices to "protect their data" seems like a thinly veiled attempt to cover their asses if one of their apparently not well vetted technicians decide to violate somebody's privacy illegally. It also sounds like a major pain in the ass especially for people who don't own a computer to backup that data to.

I have no sympathy for Apple here especially considering the level of FUD they spread about the Right to Repair movement exposing your Apple device to allegedly dangerous third party technicians.
Intercontinental shipping is more likely to move to electrically-synthesized ammonia than to batteries.

Big aircraft are more likely to move to liquified hydrogen, synthesized on demand at major airports; initially burning it in turbines, eventually using fuel cells and electric drive.

Ammonia will be pretty easy to switch to; the main impediment today is just raw production capacity, which needs to be scaled up by three orders of magnitude. Ships can be retrofitted in place with new, bigger pressure-vessel fuel tankage and more complicated fuel piping. The changeover will need to be driven by regulation.

LH2 is quite a bit harder, but the rewards for success are huge. It might need entirely new turbojet engines, and maybe new airframes with room for bigger tankage. It certainly needs truly huge scale-ups in both methods and raw capacity to synthesize LH2, and in production of cheap aerogels to insulate the LH2 tanks.

The first usable LH2 transport aircraft will have an absolutely crushing advantage over kerosene-fueled craft anywhere they compete. Kerosene craft will gradually be pushed out to shorter routes and smaller airports. How fast this happens will depend mostly on how fast LH2 production can be scaled, and how fast new airframes can be approved and then delivered.
Why is a wealth tax not a good idea? Seems like it is the right idea.
> I found a lot of tales about it being a haven for spammers and with the baggage all that entails, but maybe that was pure FUD?

There's simply so much more lower-hanging fruit for spamming. Why deal with the mess that is signing up and all that jazz? I'd say it's definitely a risk, like with all other providers, but not more so than with others.
This has been markedly worse since the '08 crash, and even more so once Covid hit, but to some degree this hollowing out of trusted products and brands seems to reach back to the late 90s.

Just look at stereo and AV equipment and the absolute plague of "rebadging." Brands that spend decades building customer loyalty went under, sold out their name and logo to some random asshole in China (or sometimes Europe), and that asshole then turns around and slaps the name on some generic Chinese crap which, if you dig a little, can also be bought with any number of other fake names plastered on it (or name-free, on Aliexpress.)

I know it's naive to immediately cry "there oughta be a law!" but in this case, specifically and more broadly, maybe there really oughta. If a company is wearing the peeled skin of another company Silence of the Lambs style, isn't that fundamentally deceitful (and thus fraudulent) advertising? If the bread or the peanut butter you've always bought is suddenly juuust a little smaller, shouldn't there be big, bright labeling required to make that clear, rather than a tiny weight or volume number no one is going to notice? If the clothes you always re-buy have suddenly changed materials and manufacturiing process, maybe they should be required to tell you that (and if you think figuring out what something is ACTUALLY made of before you buy it is easy, you've never tried to buy t-shirts on Amazon).

The reality is inflation is a thing, along with greed and a number of other supply chain issues hitting consumer products now. But I'd rather face the problem head-on instead of having to figure out what subtle con I'm being targeted for every time I try to buy toilet paper.
It actually does in several respects. You didn't capture the homeless working class, the homeless social security / retirees, and the folks with physical disabilities (you only brought up mental illness). The comment you have made in my opinion vastly overstates the drugs and mental illness aspects and vastly understates the number of people that (1) work at regular jobs and are still homeless, (2) the number of seniors that are homeless, and (3) The folks with physical disabilities, for example chronic physical conditions.
Which is why so many ships sail under the flags of states with the ability to protect them, like the USA, Great Britain, Russia or China, and not Panama, Liberia or Bolivia.
