Twitter is largely a platform for self-promotion. This Hough lady wanted to promote her snarky attitude and encourage her followers to dunk on people who leave book reviews on GoodReads. it's a good example of 'be careful what you ask for'; if you cultivate attention in order to be toxic, you can't really complain when that rebounds upon you.

It's often not the case that people see a mob forming and jump in, in most cases. What people see is someone they know quote-tweeting an obnoxious person, or someone they already follow saying something obnoxious, and they condemn the obnoxious behavior. The more engagement an original tweet gets the more likely other people are to see it in their feed, regardless of whether it's obnoxious, funny, or whatever.

One time I replied to a sanctimonious statement from a politician with a mildly critical but also mildly witty reply, read a few other tweets and went on with my day. I don't get notifications from Twitter and was astonished to find the next day that my tweet had blown up and been quoted in a national publication. In fact all of my 'high performing' tweets over the years have been casual witticisms, but I've never seen one take off in real time because I only look at it intermittently. I suggest that rather than an angry mob, what you're seeing is simply the aggregation of multiple similar reactions. Few to none of those were necessarily invested with enormous significance by the people making them, unlike a real world mob.

This is not to say, of course, that theren't people who like going around condemning others, and Twitter does have a habit of showing you multiples of people posting about the same thing, as opposed to showing The Thing once and observing that 10 people you follow have left comments about it.
> I will answer with a question: how many people has Russia killed or enslaved in the Eastern Europe over the past centuries?

A large number. But then again not nearly as many as the Ottoman Empire, which enslaved 10 million Europeans and brutally occupied a large chunk of Europe. Yet the U.S. does not exploit anti-Turkish sentiment or anti-islamic sentiment in order to build military bases in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Greece, which were all under occupation for centuries. And then we have Germany, with its own history of killing and brutality that makes its neighbors -- Poland, Czech Republic, France, Belgium, etc -- weary of German influence and yet the U.S. does not exploit anti-German sentiment in these nations for its own power politics. We could go on, with rivalries between different nations and ethnic groups throughout the region and hurt feelings of past oppression. So yes, the anti-Russian sentiment is real and has a real basis in history, but encouraging and benefiting from these historical animosities is still considered a hostile act.

That means that Christmas lights are more popular than BTC. A BTC transaction consumes as much power as the average household in more than 3 weeks. If there were as many BTC users as Christmas lights users, the consequences wouldn't be pretty.
Execution is everything. While Panic's initial idea is no different than a no-name console, with the reputation and pedigree of the people involved, I wouldn't be surprised Panic has a commercial and artistic success on its hands.
> Malicious actors don't have to "destroy or modify paperwork"

Sure, they don't have to, but it eliminates one possible source of malicious behavior. I'm not saying that using a blockchain will eliminate all malicious behavior, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
I'm pretty you're thinking of deniability (from OTR) rather than forward secrecy.

The forward secrecy in protocols like Signal allows for things like disappearing messages, which are then actually technically credible (the sender's and recipient's devices literally don't contain any information which would help to reconstruct the contents of their old messages). I think the former isn't really helpful in your scenario, but the latter is.
> Otherwise if I change the code for that resource how does TF know what it needs to change if none of the existing resources in state matches the new config?

A resource provider defines a collection of fields that is the "identifier" for the resource. For example, an S3 bucket resource would have the "name" field for its identifier.

If you change another attribute besides the bucket name, the engine will see that the input and the state both have a s3 bucket resource with the same name but different props, so it knows it will need to update some props (rather than create a new one). However, if the name changes, the engine will see that the input has a bucket that doesn't exist in the state so it will add a "create bucket" step to the plan. It will also see that the state has a bucket that isn't in the input, so it will add a "delete bucket" step to the plan.

Maybe another way of saying the same thing is that a resource provider can mark any given field as "forces replacement", and all of the fields that force replacement are the de facto identifiers? I haven't thought through whether these are exactly equivalent.
Me too, this speaks to me so much. The games all look wholesome, in line with the device itself. Judging by what I've seen, the processing power inside will be quite good and would not require optimisations unlike "retro" hardware, which would mean lots of third-party games made with relative ease.

This would be a good device to spend some time with away from social media and work.
> I think you need to research more. A computer is actually a heater that is 100% efficient.

I have a degree in EE.

The wasted electricity is in additional heat that you don't want in your home and you have to vent.

Suppose millions of people could replace resistance heaters with mining rigs that cost exactly the same and consume exactly the same amount of energy every day.

Such people would be running the miners ever if the financial gain is very close to zero, because they were already using the same amount of electricity for heating.

That means they would push the mining difficulty up. But, if the demand for coin remains the same, other people will run mining rigs that releases increasing amount of heat in the environment.

You just pushed the amount of wasted heat from one place to another.
HTML, CSS, JS, QR codes, and Bittorrent are data formats or protocols, not implementations.
Add the time element.

Think of a bunch of bowls, with a flow coming in the top, and a drain or spillway.

The rates of filling and draining matter. Most especially if the rate of draining is dependent on the quantity of water in the bowl.

If drain rate increases with volume, the size of bowls tends to remain reasonably equal with time.

If the drain rate decreases with volume, large bowls get ever larger.

The present tax scheme in the US (and in many other locations) is the second model. Large bowls get larger.

On the note of your post, i've found as i've gotten older my ability visually imagine things has diminished a lot. When i was a kid or even a teenager i could vividly picture and imagine things in my mind. As i got older, i practiced less as i dealt with more practical things in life and i fins now i have a harder time imagining things as vividly. It tends to be more blurry and indistinct.

Sales tax is the most visible tax. Maybe the richest of rich people do not consider it, but I have a hard time believing "nobody" considers it.
The only reason we think animals are stupid automatons is because in our culture we don't observe them very closely.

Like the article says, every time we bother to look we are _surrpised_ to find abilities in all sorts of animals.

Maybe we should just cut to the chase and admit the obvious, that ants, bees, octopi, monkeys and fishes are both conscious (whatever that word even means for humans is up for grabs) and intelligent.

My opinion: Intelligence is not rare, we are surrounded by it. Animals communicate with each other all day in say a forest, but we just hear it as random noises because we've stopped listening hundreds of years ago.

I may have been a little unclear. I'm typing this while in a meeting. ;)

My point was that a rational actor might believe that per dollar more good is done by the dollar being given directly to the charity of choice than to the government, but also believe in raising tax rates overall (as a means to social goods).

As a result, the actor should rationally prefer to give as much of their money as possible directly to the charity and not to taxes even while arguing for elevated taxes.
Indeed. There are better things to spend the money on right here and now.

In a hundred years, we may be able to solve the problem with far less cost and effort.
Congratulations, you have reduced your heating bill by $x! You can now spend $x on mining and get more Bitcoin!
I agree! All taxes should be wealth taxes. Or to be more clear - the only tax we have should be one wealth tax that is a single percentage and affects everyone at all levels equally. Maybe 3% per year or something.
The new pass through entity deductions are HUGE and lots of loopholes even if you're one of the consultant etc categories.

also this year I could get a 1:1 credit for time off for covid and covid supplies. Like not just lowering my taxable income.

basic example traditional deduction take 10k off net income, if i'm taxed @20% saves me 2k. From what I could tell this was 10k off my tax bill.. like if i owed 20k it's now 10k.

there's more too. i think car depreciation is better/doesn't exist if you buy personally but my car which is used for business is a tax benefit and pre-tax money I think.

You pay capital gains tax on the difference in the price when you received it, and the price you sold it for.
In the US, simply owning a house that's worth $3M (and literally zero other assets of any kind) puts you in the top 1.5% of the wealth distribution, per the WID. So I'm not sure how you could classify this scenario as "moderately wealthy trying to leave the working class." More like "extremely wealthy people trying to become even more wealthy."

> not that you don't have to pay it back at all.

That's exactly how they work. As long as you keep making interest payments, and the value of the asset you took the loan against remains above a pre-defined threshold, you never need pay back the principal. The idea being that you invest the money you borrowed and earn a profit on the difference between the interest payment and your investment return. And the interest payment itself is tax-deductible because you borrowed to invest. Neat trick, right?

Btw, this is a power also available to ordinary people, in the form of a HELOC.
I'm with you, at least in so far as people may be able to learn these things as well (or improve); but not necessarily everyone. I, for one, hadn't thought in pictures in a long, long, long time. And it took me a while to find out (or remember) why I don't do it. The cause is that I have a tinnitus and whenever I concentrated on a picture in my head my tinnitus would go into overdrive (get louder) and that's why I stopped (not just because the tinnitus was annoying but also because it hindered my ability to think in pictures because the tinnitus is so good in distracting my mind from concentrating).

E.g. there are a few IQ puzzles with cubes where you have to picture which side would be the one with the 6 or other puzzles where you have to say whether the last cog in a cog machine turns right or left, I never did these puzzles in "picture mode", always only logically. Also, chess, I was always one of the worst chess players in my school chess club and I guess this is why. However, I started playing Go and although I was (for the longest time) not able to really think ahead (in Go it's even of much more importance to picture the next steps ahead than in chess; in chess at least you can say in your head I do this-then-that-then-that without needing to picture it in detail [for very amateurish play :)]; in Go you have to picture the new stones otherwise you cannot really judge the positions at all), gradually I had more and more moments where I could do it.

Also, e.g. picturing the way from A to B (like the way from your home to the shopping centre), for the longest time I couldn't do it because my mind wouldn't let me think more than a split second about pictures (as I said: my tinnitus was quite the killer) but nowadays I can do it. So, there certainly are ways to improve. Although I like to think that all these years not thinking in pictures have helped me improve my intuition and logical thinking, but who knows :)
What you have to say is very interesting. However, it is not the content of the article.
IMHO something like Crossplane is the future for infra management.
The conflation of change in mark-to-market net worth with income has got a whole lot to do with the constant breathless reporting of "Bezos/Gates/Buffet/... made/lost x BILLION dollars today" every time the market moves by more than a point.

Sure, I get they want to beat the drum on wealth inequality, and perhaps that's a drum worth beating. But its a disingenuous disservice to pretend that these people are sitting on a massive pile of 'hoarded' liquid cash that could be redistributed in a meaningful without incurring massive losses. Might as well pretend that we could seize and sell all of the latest $100bn shitcoin and get $100bn USD to distribute.

Ford make tons of hatchbacks in Europe - it's their main thing they're known for - not sure why they don't sell them in the US.
Less leniency? "Blue-collar crime" in the US carries some of the most draconian penalties of any developed nation.
It all comes down to the fact that the rich don't sell their assets - and that comes down to the fact that stocks keep getting rescued again and again by the Fed. If the rich keep getting bailed out every single time and don't feel they have an incentive to sell (because stocks only go up), you'll never get to tax the rich on their assets. That's why the ultra rich keep pushing to postpone the natural economic cycles - because they don't want to sell.

As others have mentioned, psychedelics are not physically addictive like nicotine or heroin. They are habit forming like anything else and should be used in moderation, but microdosing if done correctly shouldn't cause any harm.

That is just my layman understanding, and more research is surely needed.

According to this study[1]:

> One common schedule is to microdose every three days. The idea behind this regimen is that there may be a residual effect from each microdose that lasts one to two days afterwards. Most popular press stories on microdosing have mentioned this three day cycle.

So every three days with these small doses seems hardly more harmful than taking a multivitamin, yet the effects are so anecdotally positive.

Another relevant quote:

> There has been no specific research into the safety of microdosing, however research with higher doses of psychedelics suggests that these substances are relatively safe. Individuals do sometimes have disturbing experiences on psychedelics, including negative emotions, perceptual disturbances, and even psychotic symptoms, and these effects can have a persisting negative impact for some people. In general, however, psychedelics are not addictive, and large scale population studies have not found any association between use of psychedelics and negative mental health outcomes.

Can't agree enough.

Declarative programming makes sense for lots of things, React is a great example.

With such a big dependency graph for infra, adding loops and variables and templating to be able to achieve the same thing as Pulumi in a "declarative" way is ultimately just harder and worse than using a familiar powerful language with an SDK.
People with huge followings are just e-celebs, but one can be a (shallow) part of a large community of people with similar interests in a particular topic. To the extent that you have somethin gin common with other people, and to the extent that that thing is unusual or costly in some fashion, you'll typically going to feel a sense of connection to someone you hear or read about without necessarily knowing them.

Polymarket Prediction: Will inflation be 0.4% or more from April to May?
Efail is an excellent example of how the static encryption of OpenPGP used for encrypted email makes malleability irrelevant. To make the Efail attack against OpenPGP work requires the knowledge of the first 11 bytes/characters of the unencrypted message. The attacker would only get one guess. The recipient by necessity would see the attack message and would immediately know there was something going on. As a result the Efail attack against the malleability of OpenPGP is completely impractical.

Contrast the Efail situation with that of TLS. TLS allows almost unlimited secret trials against its cryptography by an attacker. There have been multiple practical attacks based on such oracles in TLS.

>This isn't even a controversy among cryptographers or cryptography engineers.

I would like to think that there were such people out there that understood that different techniques are applicable to different problems.

There are some comparisons, like https://thebanks.eu/compare-countries-by-tax-rates

But a lot of details are missing in them. Countries like Romania, Ukraine and Georgia have single-digit % tax for sole proprietors, but IIUC it applies on revenue, not income.

Estonia has 0% corporate tax, but 20% on dividends, which should go well with technique discussed in the OP.

Hey Dan, completely unrelated, but I wanted to report what seems to be a HN bug. Please feel free to detach-collapse this.

album: https://imgur.com/a/QcHG9VK

In the first screenshot, notice that the highlighted comment has no replies. Here's a link to the page I was on, anchored to that comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?p=3&id=27424195#27429786

In the second screenshot, after navigating to the comment directly, there are in fact replies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27429786

The bug is that those replies should be showing up in the first link, shouldn't they? E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27430242 is a reply to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27429786, but when viewed on the original page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?p=3&id=27424195#27429786, it's absent.

I know that "more" pages shift toplevel comments around, but I've never seen child subtrees get completely pruned with no indication that they exist at all unless you navigate to the comment directly.

Sorry for the distraction. I didn't want to email this for a few reasons, some of which might be invalid. However, it does seem to be a slightly-serious bug if true, since a recent refactoring must've caused deeply-nested children not to show up when browsing top-level "more" links. I'm not sure anyone else has noticed yet.

(If this is intended behavior, sorry!)

Good luck bug hunting.
I’m a bit shocked at the price! It’s the same price I recently paid for a switch lite. I don’t understand how it can be so expensive.
My initial gut reaction to this product is that I must have it, but I know myself well enough that this would also just sit on a shelf somewhere looking cool but I would never touch it. The games look nice but I'm not a huge fan of it being black and white (just my personal taste). Plus I want to know that there will be a strong community making games, one that won't fizzle out too quick. it's great that Panic is releasing games for them but how long will that last? If they released a color version that ran Pico-8 there would be no question, I'd pre-order it immediately.

That being said, watching the video[1] on the site is making this look really enticing.

This is really cool. I don't understand something about the architecture though -- you mention it relies on Postgres FDW. When you install Steampipe are you installing Postgres locally and using that, or are you using a remote postgres server?
Property taxes are such a small portion of property value that they seldom force a move. Capital gains can be anywhere from 20-50% depending on country. Having your home go from 800,000 to 1,000,000 and having your property taxes go from 4000 to 5000 a year is very different from having your home go up 200,000 and suddenly owing the government 40,000 to 100,000 dollars.
