That is only one of many important metrics. Technically speaking, a low power low frequency processor almost always beats out other processors in perf/watt, even if it is vastly inferior in processing capability.
I agree with GP. The antagonistic "allies" push away neutral people, turning more people against the groups they're supposedly trying to help. Overtly prejudiced people do the opposite, with neutrals seeing them as obviously wrong.

It makes sense on average, assuming 1) that the activity is at least as unpleasant as going to work, and 2) that you negotiated your job hours to your satisfaction.

If I spend enough days on annoying wastes of time, I don't want to lose all my free time, so I'm going to need to reduce how many days I go to work. And since that means doing less work, I can only push that so far before I have to start taking those days unpaid.

("It's more important to get the money than to have those days off" would mean I should have just negotiated more pay and less vacation from the start, so that's incompatible with the premise.)

Maybe I could have taken this one day in stride and ignored it. But maybe I was already on the edge of needing a break, and this pushes me to take a multi-week sabbatical. On average, in a situation like this, 1 day wasted on annoying tasks gets traded for about 1 day of labor.

And this idea doesn't require you to be able to control your hours as much as you want, just a few percent is enough to make the logic work.
Compared to the supercomputers of the 1980s (if I remember right my dad had an old copy of Journal of the American Meteorological Society I found as a kid, with an ad for Cray talking about one gigaflop being state of the art), they're not wrong.
They should be roughly equal over time.

The purest markets we have are the financial markets and level 2 data tends to exhibit this quality.

Demand is desire plus ability to pay - which is why your iPhone example is deficient. That’s why billions go without and why people go for the alternatives.

However everybody needs a job to be able to live. There is no alternative to selling your labour hours in a modern world. Extracting from others is a fallacy of composition.

Randomizing tests in any way is good and useful in theory, but am I the only one finding that it ends-up being counter-productive in practice?

What I found over time is that is erodes the trust of the team in the test suite. When you work on feature A, the last thing you want is for the tests of unrelated features B and C to randomly fail and prevent merging your work.

So what becomes the norm is re-running the tests until is passes rather than understanding it and fixing it.

Over time, such issues accumulate and it becomes harder and harder to be lucky enough for it to pass.

While the right thing to in theory do would be to always fix it, it's not always possible depending on the organization of the team and tasks, and being bothered by unrelated stuff during a specific task is just annoying.

That said, this package could be useful if pseudo-random (maybe it is, I didn't look so much in details).
But what is it really in conflict with?

> Companies are ruthless about cutting fat. They have departments dedicated to isolating unnecessary employees and firing them.

Some companies, maybe. I've known enough companies that tolerated and in some cases enjoyed fat, to understand as a rule what you're claiming doesn't hold. Including lots of fat shaped like management layers. Other forms of fat include "we don't want to fire these people, so let's give them symbolic work until they retire", "these are all friends of people in upper management, so don't fire them even though nobody knows what they actually do", "these people were hired as a PR stunt and now they really don't have much to do", "we have to go through the motions of doing this project, even though everyone knows it's doomed, it's just for show anyway", and many, many more.

Companies can be very, very inefficient and still work.
The hack that took down the largest fuel pipeline in the U.S. and led to shortages across the East Coast was the result of a single compromised password, according to a cybersecurity consultant who responded to the attack.

This is kind of like blaming unrecoverable data on the employee that accidentally deleted it - the problems are much bigger than a single compromised password (with the implied single-employee-blaming) and the credibility of reporters or security consultants proposing such causes risk being undermined with these kinds of simplifications.

(For the rest, my recollection was definitely off on the timing, and most significantly I forgot the proto-flexbox stuff that Gecko and WebKit had long before grid was proposed. Beyond that, grid certainly took longer to mature, as I remarked, being more complex and needing to interact with more features to be optimally useful. Incidentally, IE got both flexbox and grid (earlier drafts) at the same time, in IE10, Microsoft leading the way on grid by several years, five by the most common way of reckoning.)

This is a really disappointing answer. I know, I know discussing moderation here is frowned upon... but come on. You’re basically saying there’s a secondary set of rules that are decided and disclosed arbitrarily.

It’s your choice how to moderate, I don’t have any expectation or illusion of a right to use this platform. But can you understand how this creates ambiguity for people who don’t know what the rules ultimately are, and how it creates huge openings for people to cry foul when there’s nothing unusual?

Wouldn’t it be better to refine the rules and disclosure when gaps arise, so everyone is participating in the same system?

Magnet fishing in Germany is of questionable legality. In any case you have to dispose of everything you pull out, leaving it or throwing it back in is definitely illegal.
So imagine we are shipwrecked on an island, and circumstances are such that muscle, hunting skills and fishing/swimming/skin diving ability is more important for survival of the group than the kind of brain that software developers have. So all of a sudden these physical folk have the leverage (aka "merit") to demand a greater share of the resources and power, and pretty soon the software developers are forced to cook, clean and do chores for them.

Thus "merit" is very circumstantial. Why does one group "deserve" to be wealthy in one circumstance, and another in a different circumstance?

Everyone in our deeply capitalist culture uses the words "merit" and "deserve" in a deeply moral sense to describe something that isn't moral at all. As Inigo Montoya once said, "You keep using that word..."

Cryptos have intrinsic value because they drive efficiency of value exchange. Specifically they allow for trustless exchange of value, which in an increasingly globalized world has become appealing for various reasons.

Some cryptos have value beyond that, like ETH, because the Ethereum network itself has intrinsic value, and ETH is the only thing you can use to pay the Gas fees if you want a program running on the network.

The truth doesn't have to be entirely one or the other. Markets can be good and regulation can be good at the same time. And both can have risks for bad outcomes as well.

It's interesting how folks on one extreme will point out every fault of the other, with their own reasons explaining away critiques of their favorite side.

> The great thing about markets is that when a company does bad things, the public usually can switch providers, thus punishing bad behavior.

This puts a lot of trust in people being well informed and having enough energy to react. We live in a complex world, and it's nearly impossible for consumers to each vote with their wallets on every aspect of life. In theory I could vet every food, drug, and hardware supplier personally before buying anything. But I'd rather have the most safety critical stuff regulated before it can be offered for sale.
This is still relevant today, too. The last several JavaScript vulns. that people at my company have had to upgrade around were because of accidentally quadratic regex in JavaScript. One poor library[1] was attempting to match a header whose grammar was a whoppingly complex,

1#token

(this is in the HTTP spec's notation: it means 1 or more `token`s, comma separated with optional whitespace around the comma) and hit this, by trying to split the incoming values with,

/ *, */

I was shocked that this wasn't compiled to a DFA. (I checked, too: my JS exhibited the behavior in the bug report.)

This is, I also think, another reason why "simple" text protocols are not really so simple. The grammar above is "trivial", and yet, this is the end result. I don't feel like the library is particularly at fault: I doubt I would have caught this in code review.

One extra detail. The liquidation price isn't equal to the loan principal, it's higher. So in your example $100 USDC loan with $200 BTC collateral will have the BTC sold once the value drops to $150 and the remaining BTC if any is returned. This is to reduce the chances of the price dropping below the principal before liquidation is complete.

A proposal for a vouching system, since others suggested the idea but not an implementation: Any user can "vouch" for an article. This gets stored in a database, but doesn't do much on it's own. There's a secret karma cutoff, above which the vouch gets "counted", and if there's more vouches than flags a moderator is alerted to give the article extra attention.

Any time vouching triggers extra attention, the decision is recorded in the database. If someone routinely vouches and gets overruled (i.e. vouching for bad content), then their vouching no longer counts in the future.

At some point after the system is introduced, start giving extra weight to people whose vouching decisions line up with moderators.

Worst case, this is just flagging stuff for extra moderation attention so there's not a lot to abuse. If it's requiring too much extra attention, adjust the required vouch:flagged ratio or raise the threshold needed to vouch "For Real".

(I'm not saying I see anything wrong with the current system - I tend to appreciate how well this particular Walled Garden is tended to. But the vouch idea seemed cool to me, and I felt like I could contribute a useful implementation)

The problem with that plan is that Tether loaning (outside the interesting relationship exchanges have with Tether) is generally gonna be DeFi loans, which are massively over-collateralized (something like 2:1 collateral to debt). If Tether crashed, it is not clear that your collateral would not be liquidated to cover the nominal value of the original loan, rather than the new (near zero) value of Tether.

For context, this site was at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in West Oakland. It was intentionally located there to target the local underserved communities. At the time, California was in phases 1A and 1B. This was intended for elderly and essential workers.

There was misinformation that it was first-come, first-serve to anyone who wanted it. I looked into it at the time and it was easy to verify that this was not true. The CA State website, the church's fliers, and their help line were all clear.

Here's an example clearly listing who was eligible:
https://twitter.com/SarahBelleLin/status/1370071520953835520...

They intentionally did not check eligibility to avoid putting barriers up for high risk people. It was effectively an honor system.

This site ended up being oversubscribed and most doses went to people outside the targeted area or demographic:

The article says the ransomware message appeared on a computer in the control room. That seems strange, do the pipeline operators adjust fuel flow based on how much cash is coming in? Is this a common practice? Or maybe it was not the billing system that was compromised? I guess it is possible billing would be used to predict required flow rate in some way, but that means any hack of the internet connected billing system has a direct route to controlling fuel flow in the pipeline, which seems rather dangerous. Post some fake orders and suddenly there are millions of gallons of fuel wherever you say they should be. Does the pipeline also run in reverse? If not it then that fuel could be stranded.

"If the adults over there don't care, why should you care?"

It's actually a fairly common approach to driving some old-school processors.

For example I've used an Arduino to drive a Z80 processor. I toggle the clock line high & low, and monitor the I/O ports on the Z80 such that when it thinks it is reading RAM it is really reading from an array on the Arduino.

You can get quite far, given the relative clock-speeds of the two chips. Of course it gets a bit fiddly if you need to halt the processor and proxy reads to other I/O devices - such as using the Z80 "out (1), a" instruction to print a character to an LCD.

But this is a good way to get started.
In a normal process (or VM in many cases) you can take direct control of the physical hardware via standard syscalls and mechanisms, which is idiomatic for a lot of high-performance infrastructure software. These appear to stop working or have unexpected (and suboptimal) behavior if the same code is executed in a container.

Note that configurations modifying syscall behavior is not unique to containers. There are other ways, only rarely encountered in the wild, to configure your Linux system to inadvertently break the same required syscall behavior.

Linux makes no guarantees about the behaviors of syscalls. Nonetheless, high-performance software is necessarily designed under the assumption of specific behaviors that are almost always true on bare metal and modern virtual machines when configured sensibly. AFAIK there is no way to configure a container to ensure the same behavior, which is the problem. VMs in the early days had many of the same issues. It may be sorted eventually (like with VMs) but for now it causes severe regressions in many codes.

This is purely subjective. I've worked at a tech company where they paid me 1.5x what they could have and I STFU so the checks would keep coming (they thought they were getting a bargain), but generally the firms will try to negotiate with you for the lowest price they can get you at.

That said, the aformention job where i was overpaid was a bullshit job because the product (was there even a product? I can't tell) would not have noticed if I wasn't there (maybe the morale would have gone down? I certainly wasn't worth that much).
