Yes, it's a bummer common discourse does this. While making the billionaires wealth seem more liquid would seem to overstate their power, I think the real issue is quite opposite.

The popular understanding of capitalism is accurate prices and liquid goods, and only a few things (as contested in culture wars) are genuine separate axis. The reality is the real power of the billionaires isn't in their "net worth" (however good the accounting is), but in their power over the institutions they control. Look at the size of the flow in and out of those institutions, their capacity for investment. Realize also that even as we collectively have the wealth for much simultaneous investment, earlier investment has a profound and non-erotic effect on future history (e.g. car vs public transit, Unix being entrenched for 50+ years, etc.) This is the real travesty of billionaire power, not the ability of Bezos to buy big yachts or whatever.
I'm pretty sure the libertarian idea of not paying any property taxes would just lead to rich feudal lords owning everything and everyone else paying them rent. Which is probably worse for everyone else than paying taxes which are at least nominally used for the public good.
Aside from entertainment video games are increasingly used as a sort of virtual socializing. Especially among Gen Z with Minecraft and Roblox. Microsoft has been tailoring the Xbox experience to be way more social-oriented and I think it will pay huge dividends for them.

I have tried some coupon sites and they all have expired coupons.
Or rent a car. I own a smallish car for routine needs and am a member of a car sharing service so I can rent a station wagon, minivan, or van the handful of times a year I need one.

Frankly, there could be some value to OSS contributors in saying 'There is Telemetry' very up front, but also in the same breath telling people that instructions for disabling Telemetry is in the Docs.

Yup! That's a condensed version of a BBC write-up of that first paper I linked. Super influential in the field, but only percolated into popular media in the last decade.
What sexism specifically?
Yes, I gave a quick overview of the main steps, with minor inaccuracies to keep it simple.

Ratification itself is not required unless the treaty itself requires it. Countries do form agreements with “signed” but not “ratified” treaties. Sometimes even “exchanges of notes” can be binding.
Who is more free:

1) An average man who is only not a drug addict because he lives in a country where drugs are regulated or shamed in a way to make them hard to obtain.

2) An average man who succumbs to addiction in such a country, and is now in a never-ending cycle in and out of prison and living on the street and at daily risk of death because there's no way to ensure that the drugs he takes aren't 100x as potent as he was expecting because it's easier for the cartels to sneak the product over the border that way?
Ah I see what you meant by "work can't be useful", apologies. But I think you did jump to some conclusions for example, increase of difficulty does not require more miners. It is a side effect of miners joining. So the profitability of existing mining infra in server racks will go down due to the difficulty increase. It would most likely incentivize them to also somehow recycle their "waste heat" for profit. My comment elsewhere is maybe devoping space heaters that do computation (maybe hashing is not that computation but I think it can work), we could use them to migrate off existing heating tech used in my country (natural gas furnaces) and net lower greenhouse gas emissions because not all electricity is generated from greenhouse gas, only some, and it also has a path forward to no green house gas emissions from electricity generation.

Crypto Ultimatum
Sorry, that's what I meant. With a VPS you're in control of the retention policy. With a managed provider you basically have no idea. Encrypting on receipt mitigates this.
WSL is not 'native' per se, but it's very well-integrated with Windows. I'd give it a look, even if it's just writing a script to run a build command in WSL from the same directory you're developing locally in.

Get in the habit of asking: "What is the problem?"

CEO - "We need a live streaming video platform"

Me - "What is the problem?"

CEO - "I want to do a webcast on our website"

Me - "Would embedding a YouTube video player work? It does x, y and z and it can be ready by tomorrow"

CEO - "Oh! I hadn't considered that"

You need to get back to first principles. Usually your boss wants to accomplish something and then they come up with a solution. Then they fall in love with the solution, not the problem.

You should be asking your boss what they're trying to accomplish instead of letting them propose the solution. If you help devise the solution/product you'll be much happier building it.
One could get addicted to religious rituals instead. Such addiction is not entirely harmless, tends to damage relationships.

I disagree the goal of normal society is "to lead people away from lasciviousness and impulsive behavior." That is not enough to live a good life. And when we tried it, it ended up with neverending war on drugs.

Society should lead toward something. I think it should be toward a meaning. With the implicit understanding that there is no meaning in impulsive addictive behavior. Catholicism (and christianity generally) should not have a problem with that, as it is incredibly rich with meaning and it's so sad to see it all reduced to rigid morals, orders and prohibitions.
The NAP is a fiction made up by American libertarians. It is not a doctrine adhered to by the Russian navy.

The reality of the matter is that any vessel not flying a real flag enjoys no standing whatsoever in the laws or treaties of the seas. Freedom of navigation is a right of states, not individuals. If you are not a state or under the protection of a state (a real one, not a comic book one) then you do not have the right to navigate the high seas.
If you're referring to the Christian tradition that the author brings up - it's usually men that are admonished by that tradition explicitly, because men need to hear it. Generally, it's considered that women and mothers don't need as much instruction being a later (or more fulfilled) act of creation than men.

It's also why the deceiver focused on Eve first - if she fell, Adam would surly follow.
The author, Hunter Scott, has been working on everything from plants to farming on Mars to long-distance wireless power-charging electronics.

I spent the last decade tinkering with software/hardware projects. This book is exactly what I wish I had when diving in.

Note: I have no connection to the book. I just really like the author's work.

Edit: The digital book is free.
I really don't know how not to violate HN's guideline to maintain a kind and openminded discussion when presented with such a straw-man. There's just no way to react to this that would be in any way sincere and not offensive.
IMHO there is a common theme in the philosophy of life of most Americans. For example, many people have remarked on the high levels of optimism found in most Americans. It is one of my favourite American attributes.
Ross did post on shroomery and stackoverflow with identifiable information ... In the case of the former it was clearly linked to the site. And those posts are still up.

The guy in Bangkok had his personal email in reply-to headers of the the "welcome" emails being sent out. If that wasn't true, everyone who received the mail could have proven that.

Parallel reconstruction may have been a occurred, it's true we won't know.
I'm not a philosopher by trade, so I probably have this all wrong, but if we're going to be enslaved to something anyway, isn't freedom at least the ability to choose what to be enslaved by? Virtue or vice, impulses or careful planning (and the consequences of these things)... your choice, not someone else's?
Civil rights are not granted from cancelling racists from exposing their hateful views online, it's from taking action against the racist systems and people in power that really impact their rights. This can take the form of both violent and non-violent struggle but the key word is struggle, not just speech or the curtailment of wrong speech.
Right it's crucially important we leapfrog all this crypto and fintech nonsense by just doing "fed accounts for all" administered electronically and at the post office.

If all goes to plan, I am planning on sponsoring a bounty to get zig cc to cross-compile erlang this summer. In theory, that should enable what you're looking for.
Perl Data Language: Scientific Computing with Perl
My take on it was that we are not so far removed from witchdoctors when it comes to medicine then we would like to believe. Hard data on efficiency and performance of human doctors is very far from hard and their ability to diagnose things that are not blatantly obvious and are bout to kill you dead unless you get lucky and surgery works or chemo works(or does not and we have no clue why) is very limited.

There is a huge amount of we want to believe.. and survivor bias going on in cancer treatment. Lot's of it is very harmful as well.
I think PG is right, at least about Darwin. Darwin's father pushed him to study medicine, which he wasn't especially interested in. Darwin did okay grade-wise but goofed off a lot with his hobby in naturalism. His father didn't even want him to go on the trip on the Beagle!
What a bizarre artifact of a very specific subculture.

I would wager that, not only is walking in nature more popular than microdosing (lol, c'mon, that's a gimme) but that regular ol' dosing and walking in nature is also more popular than microdosing.

As compromises go, "minidosing" and taking a hike is pretty nice! I found (back when I made a habit of such things) that the smallest amount of your psychedelic-of-choice that you would definitely feel was a good match for wandering around and enjoying the splendor of the world.

I truly wonder what prompted someone to contrast two of the most complementary activities I can think of in this way. Takes all types I guess.
"Never apologize to a mob."
I suspect your the nature of your objection is something you can't quite grasp yourself. Calling it sexist seems a safe way of attack.

It is one thing to know that we like or don't like something. Much harder is understanding why. Usually we give the first acceptable "reason" that comes to mind rather than trying to figure it out. Figuring out why we like or not often takes a number of thought experiments.
Any god of a tradition that's been successfully around for a few thousand years would be a good start.

Even if you don't believe in a deity, the traditions of a successful culture are worth considering given we only have a few years to figure out what a good life looks like before we die.
"A drug addict is not free. A teenager who gets home from school everyday, closes his door and watches internet pornography is not free. A person who compulsively checks their social media feed when they wake up or are minorly bored is not free."

This thing sounds like it was written by a 12 year old
Well this to start: “ A woman who sleeps around throughout her twenties and is left with nothing is not free.”

There’s a lot of pretty messed up sexism packed in there.
> Economic utility and purchasing power of $1000 is the same whether someone earns $10K or $10MM per month.

Marginal utility of the $1k is not independent of income, even if purchasing power (almost irrelevant in this context) is. This is just basic economics.

> more people would incline towards doing startups, etc.

This seems naive. The rich do not, in general, do startups. The super-rich in particular do not do startups. Maybe you mean "invest in startups", which is an entirely different thing, since it presupposes the existence of startups to invest in. There is zero evidence from anywhere in the world that reducing taxation on the super rich results in any notable increase in investment activity.

I have no idea what this "rebalancing" that you're referring to is. I see no evidence that economies in the real world are in equilibrium states, nor any reason to suppose that they would be.

> For somplicity sake, if all are made to pay $30,000 per year in income taxes, those who earn less would stop working,

This thought experiment seems fairly pointless. This isn't going to happen. And if it did happen, people would not stop working. People need to eat, etc. Depending on the enforcement of the tax, they would have to find more or less ingenious evasion methods.
Also called 'the father of the IBM PC'.
In their video earlier they said they plan to ensure everyone who wants one can get one. Later orders might take a while but they’re not going to stop taking orders like Analogue does.
Can the cpio command extract the Erlang VM from these binaries? If not, then it shouldn't be called cpio. Operating systems have been known to block binaries that have compressed binaries inside them using novel formats tools don't understand. The design here is very similar to ZIP, which would be a good thing to consider, since that would grant the end user the flexibility to copy the app out of the bakeware shell into their existing Erlang install without having another Erlang get installed.
At least some of them just want to be able to choose a better central (or decentralized) authority.
And it's a paid feature so I'm guessing Apple will limit the number of devices (per iCloud account) that can use it.
Haha. Yes, I do that potentially a bit too much. It always feels like pulling teeth -- like the official process doesn't have room for that kind of back and forth. For example, in scrum, the product owner is meant to have that conversation, not the engineers.

Nope, I’m looking at some pretty specific frames the author is pushing, see below.
I think one thing this essay misses is that schools enable and encourage having one's own projects. Some examples from my experience:

- In third year of high school I joined the FIRST robotics club, and it was a pretty transformative experience. Doing such a big project for the first time, which I could not have possibly tried on my own, was amazing. And of course it improved my social skills, my communication skills, all that.

- In fourth year of high school, I took our follow up to AP CS which was on making video games (yeah, I was at a nice high school). And we just got to make whatever games we wanted, within some limits. Tons of fun.

- In college I spent a ton of time in the Solar Racing club (http://solarracing.gatech.edu/). Like, all four years - and this was some serious engineering work.

- In college I went to lots of hackathons. My favorite project was one that visualized music libraries, I spent a few months on it after the hackathon (https://www.andreykurenkov.com/projects/major_projects/meta-...).

- In college I got into 3D printing and laser cutting, since that was available there (for free). I tried going to maker spaces after, but those are NOT cheap.

- In my Masters program at Stanford, most CS classes have a project component where you do whatever you want. To take just one example, I built a neat little website in which you could visualize neural net models (https://www.andreykurenkov.com/projects/major_projects/Keras...).

And, society encourages this stuff too, in terms of interviews asking about your projects and colleges wanting to see extracurriculars. Of course it's not perfect, most classes could provide a lot of leeway in terms of self direction. But it's worth acknowleding, especially in terms of schools enabling larger group efforts and providing the environment and equipment and knowledge for doing fun stuff.

If anything , school did not beat out the drive for projects, it enabled it. I miss doing such things quite a bit, as it gets a lot harder to find people to do them with and it's seen as kind of weird.
As someone who supports seasteading, I want to emphasize that it is NOT about libertarianism or any other political belief system. It is about competitive governance. If your political system, implemented on a seastead cluster, provides a better quality of life to its members, it will attract more citizens; if not, it will lose people, money, and influence. If you want to implement a religion-based society, you can do that; if you want to implement Marxism, you can do that; if you want to build Hong Kong 2.0, you can do that.
Uyghur Tribunal Wraps Up: Enforced Disappearances, Detentions, and Deaths
I have some complicated feelings on this, because on the one hand it really makes sense to punish these people and companies and stop this behavior from continuing, and on the other it would suck to be some low level worker and have some bullshit from a CEO cause you to immediately lose your job, and it would also suck as a customer of some non-screwy service of the company to have something you rely on forced to stop.

Perhaps a complete replacement of all upper level management over 6 months and possibly a moratorium on board involvement for a time period for board members if it was bad enough would be sufficient? In the "a corporation is a person" analogy that's about the same as some other mind taking over the body, so that might be sufficient. You might have to have some laws that provide some bite for people that want to just jump ship immediately knowing there severance is in danger even if they stay, but it's not like what I'm proposing could happen without new legislation anyway.

As long as the payment of severance was handled by new management explicitly, and all replacements happened under explicit notice that the prior employee was being removed for compliance in an illegal activity (so they could fight against paying the severance), I think that would be a fairly good deterrence of bad behavior, since it would affect both employment of themselves and others, it has a good chance of affecting payouts when fired, and it effectively wipes the slate clean while doing what it can to preserve services and employment for as many as possible.
Thank you for the link, but thats not the same thing. Try to transfer heavy money from Venezuela to Japan, being in Venezuela or from Ghana to Germany, being in Ghana, using your Visa credit card. Try to do it under 24 hours. The fastest way will be flying which can be easily more expensive and risky than bitcoin.
I think Paul Graham has an excellent article named Hacker and Painter regarding this. I think the only way is to develop your own products.

So far I habe worked in a few companies as a business analyst and a bi developer but I have never seen one that allows the dev team to have some final say in the products. Products are always dictated by business team, then project manager or business analyst breaks them down to tickets that you guus understand, i. e. the scope. The lead further breaks them dowm into sprints and tickets.

So you can see that sometimes even product managers don't have much a say in the product.
To be fair, you can still play lawn darts if you have a set. I remember playing with a set of lawn darts, like the real ones with the spikes, with my cousins back in like 2004-2005, nobody came to arrest us.
This article is fairly inane, but just to comment on this one minor point:

>Even extreme libertarians will probably say (2) is in a better place, but might chalk things up to (1) needing to have more discipline and they'll make up some just-so story as for why unambiguously bad drugs, or pornography, or dangerous things should be allowed anyway.

No, an (informed) extreme libertarian would try to dissolve this as a false dichotomy. They'd perhaps talk about various insurance schemes and contracts, which an individual is free to enter or leave (in the same way that they're free to choose between a countries with more or less harsh drug regulations), but which can still constrain an individual's actions/impulses in the short term for their own benefit.

Similarly, a modern liberal might defend the freedom to choose which country you live in, on similar grounds.

I felt the urge to respond to this just because such arguments are much more interesting than the author's attack on straw-liberals/libertarians
Wish the article provided more details - what is the macOS "Setting" the author is talking about and why does it exist in the first place?
If I go without any extended exercise for a while, this is how I feel.

If you force yourself to go for a hike/walk/jog etc, after a few times, that initial discomfort dissipates and it becomes a psychologically and physically rewarding experience. You go from feeling like shit the first few times to feeling refreshed afterwards.
This is insane. Check out the live feed of a bot in action - a browser being automated, with various photos of human hands clicking the ads, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEHgOTgtGso . It may or may not be broadcasting but you can seek to the past.

> TCP retransmits were also sampled in detail.

Hosts usually collects SNMP metrics, which includes TCP retransmits and more. Do you know what SNMP was lacking compared to eBPF? What I can think of is more dimensions in eBPF's case.
