Don’t underestimate the importance of market makers - people who create liquidity on the exchanges by constantly resting buy and sell orders on the book, the modern equivalent of the guys on the exchange floor in the bright jackets. Exchanges without market makers lose business to exchanges with market makers. In general, it is rational to trade on the markets with the tightest spreads.

Market makers need mechanisms to move money around and manage risk. When tether did not exist, all this would have been painful, but equally painful for all market makers. This is fine.

Tether created a maybe-good-enough mechanism for bridging conventional money into crypto. Once it existed, then each market maker would have needed to make a decision: use it and get the benefit of it whilst losing sleep at night over its risks, or not use it, lose edge to your competitors, and close up shop. You may find that the market makers hate tether, and recognise it for what it is (wildcat bank) but feel compelled to use it to stay competitive.
What do you do that you think is a waste of time?
I think this is bad for Lukashenko. The more the EU sanctions Belarus, the more Belarus has to rely on Russia. But the more Belarus has to rely on Russia, the greater Russia's power over Belarus, and the greater the likelihood that Belarus turns into a Russian puppet state in which all the real power and real decisions are being made in Moscow. That outcome threatens to deprive Lukashenko of real power and turn him into a mere figurehead.
> Talk about a chilling effect, i.e., do not read the news because law enforcement can subpoena the list of what you read. Lawyers recommend never sharing anything with law enforcement because it can be used against you. So the news articles you read can now be used against you? The FBI seems to think so. This is exactly the reason there are laws prohibiting law enforcement from ask libraries for lists of what patrons read.

I don't understand. What's the reason there are laws prohibiting law enforcement from ask libraries for lists of what patrons read ?
Yes, you can find all the meeting notes here: https://github.com/webassembly/meetings

However there were a lot of discussions that were not in those meetings and were in smaller groups or held in GitHub issues or PRs. Most of these were in https://github.com/webassembly/design.
There are more dead people who went to the moon than alive.

It's true that I can play games and do banking on my phone now though.
The only overturning would be Russia either installing a puppet or annexing Belarus altogether.

If EU intervenes, Russia will too. And there's much more popular support for Russia than for EU. Belarus people know their economy is a museum of Soviet era remains bankrolled by Russia. Heading West would mean total economic collapse to rebuild the system. They're little North Korea in many more ways than mass media talks about.

The sad reality is EU/West can't win here.
That's a pretty common misconception, but the correct pronunciation of Latinx is (lah-tinks).

It was supposed to rhyme with "thinks" from its inception.

I went to CU-Boulder and a part of the Latinx community, trust me, this is a quite hurtful anglo-ization of our tribe.
I haven't seen it used much, so "a handful of people" is also an option.
This looks really good but your site example is down. Looks incredible though :)

The problem with “merit” is that it’s entirely subjective. Some would argue that Boris Johnson is prime minister based on merit: he went to university, worked as a journalist, got elected Mayor of London and the became PM. Others (myself included) would say that he has achieved nothing on merit but has used his privileged background, influential friends and lied his way to the top.

Even plaintext can be secure with the right other measures. Air gapped in a physically secured, access controlled location, with all egress/exit points covered by sufficiently rigorous security measures? You're fine.

Encryption introduces it's own SPOF's. If you'very never had a power failure in the middle of a key rotation, you've never been bitten back by your attempt at securing everything with cryptography. Or worse, corrupted by sketchy hardware.

Defense in depth, and proper threat modeling is key. There is also the very real question of "Do you really need that Internet connected anyway?"
It also makes more logical sense.

I don't think changing the language is necessary, but if we're adding regex to English. COUNT ME IN!

Whether a website offers a useful API depends, in part, on whether its owner reacts to automated use of the site with encouragement, indifference, or hostility.

API's are offered by sites that either (a) actively encourage automated usage, or (b) are indifferent to users' use of their API, but provide it to users because it's easier to develop their own pages' JS that way.

Robot-style automation is a sort of "backdoor" that allows automated interaction with any website, no matter how hostile its owner is. You can't do much about automation that pretends to be a human. (Except maybe deploy a CAPTCHA, but solving a CAPTCHA is an annoyance users generally won't put up with more than once per login. And your RPA could simply defer to a human to login and solve the CAPTCHA, then take over for the automation part.)

In some domains, a competitor that offers an automated interface to the same data will outcompete a site that doesn't. But in other domains, you can't start that competitor, because the data to back the API isn't open.

For example, if we lived in a world where say Facebook provided only pre-rendered pages and had no API, you couldn't make an API to allow automated access to Facebook data. If you made a Facebook clone with all the functions of Facebook plus an API, it still wouldn't be the same site as Facebook plus an API -- the users and network effect would still all be on Facebook. Your clone would likely never be able to outcompete Facebook.
This may be would be effective, but this is also the same as "deplatforming" tactic that they use. If you're the kind of person who wants to defend the spirit of rational, open debate, isn't refusing to engage someone a tactic that on itself contradicts those views?
Eric Raymond and Wendy McElroy are not thought leaders I'd turn to, and naming something doesn't make it true or turn it into an effective rhetorical device.

There's a wide spectrum of human behavior and responses to these issues, and this takes a tiny sliver of that and tries to pain the rest with the same broad stroke.

> Examples?

In just the last few decades? We have immigration, women's propriety and reproductive rights, civil rights, and the LGBT movement to name a few. The outrage comes mostly from one side, which has their own arsenal of rhetorical devices to paint opposition as morally bankrupt reprobates. Support same-sex marriage? Closeted gay or un-Christian heathen, destroyer of families. Won't pledge allegiance to the flag? Must be a commie. Women deserve equal pay? What a beta simp.

Both sides do and say stupid shit in their own stupid ways.
The difference I see with more upper class stores especially ones like Whole Foods is they tend to be in dense layouts where it is literally more time efficient to get your shopping done, and the stores are frequently placed on higher value property which is closer to the wealthy patrons. They tend to have a good selection of healthful foods maybe with pricy grass fed animal products with a higher ratio of omega3s, nitrate free cured meats, food for special diets like gluten-free, and all variety of things which are in a certain sense practical. Also generally the food of equal nutritional value tends to taste better, which makes it easier to stomach your conscientious diet.

If your wealth is such that food cost is a fairly negligible part of your expenses, USUALLY the Walmart will be further away located on less expensive real estate, roaming around the Walmart supercenter can literally take more time (both of these points are, to be fair eliminated by curbside pickup/delivery), the variety might be good but it's of foods that might not necessarily be worth the cost savings, the meat & produce might be alright but it's rarely going to be exceptional. It's not that any cook worth their salt can't go to Walmart and cook some fantastic food, it's that the real fancy store can be the path of least resistance.

I patronize both stores, tending to make runs to Walmart type stores for mostly non-perishables sold at superior prices. Honestly I feel more uncomfortable among wealthy patrons can poor ones. I can feel a miasma of snootiness around me in an upscale enough shop.
In a way this is strange question, and topic, how to decide what is and what is not relative to determine what is bullshit job.

Yesterday something else interesting happen, "Yana Sizikova: Russian tennis player arrested at French Open over match-fixing allegations", what is that to do with anything?

From one angle just imagine someone was arrested for playing game. Imagine child on playground being arrested for playing with marbles. But, things are not that simple this adult game was connected with money, and everything what has connection with money we give some kind of value, so much that we are keen to put someone in prison.

In the same way, we grow economy, create roles, watch our security, value things, help others trying to go around fundamental question that needs answer - who owns and who has right to access resources in the society where everything is fully automated?
It becomes illegal when you make a database of license plates coupled to locations and times.

And even more illegal when you publish a service for looking up this data.
> Even for WFH: just set up a damn openvpn in front of the vcenter server, if you don't have the money for a Cisco Anyconnect appliance. It's not that hard

If your business depends on employees that are working remotely, and you have critical services behind a VPN, your VPN solution is now a critical service too, and should be built and managed accordingly.

Just throwing an OpenVPN host up isn’t enough. If you’re going down that road, you need multiple OpenVPN hosts, each one “hardened” (since they’re internet facing), and a mechanism to deploy the VPN clients (and certificates) to the users. You then need to do this a second time too for an entirely different VPN solution (OpenConnect? WireGuard? StrongSWAN?), in case the first one suffers a vulnerability that you can’t immediately mitigate and instead just needs to be shutdown.

Like most technology solutions, this is only trivial to resolve if you’re operating at a really small scale, all your users are tech savvy, and you don’t treat it as a business critical service.

The moment your business depends on it, it either ceases to be trivial, or becomes a large source of operational risk.
Also, many people are fed up with construction noise due to the metro being expanded.
Welfare. A single person would pay no tax and indeed receive several hundred dollars a year in tax rebates. They would qualify for ~$200/month in food stamps and likely get health insurance for free. They would also qualify for low income subsidized housing. With kids the benefits (tax rebates and food stamps) increase by thousands.
I wonder how this works in, say, the Marines, or the Navy, which I believe are much more diverse than tech. Are people discussing politics endlessly at work? Is there a code of ethics/conduct that explicitly bars such behaviors?

Tech is extremely un-diverse, but it somehow seems to attract much more vocal and activist types compared to the above. For example, I have never read about such incidents in the Navy or the Marines... Is it simply my ignorance, or does the military have an established way of dealing with such things?

FWIW, I'm sick of the politicization and invasion by SJWs of the discourse in our little bubble in the Bay Area. I'd heartily appreciate the day when I can spend a whole day at work with absolutely no discussion of politics and religion at work. Even private home life is not impervious to this nonsense (even talk at the dinner table often comes down to this, much to my dismay). Do others share a similar sentiment? Just like there are 'no-cellphone' train compartments, perhaps we can have 'politics/religion-free' zones at home and the office!
Which in Covid years is both 1.5 years ago and last week at the same time
I think, assuming the vaccine is effective, vaccination only one group like what is happening in a small set of countries, will have a negative effect on the goal of eliminating a virus (is this the goal?). Supposedly allowing the virus to thrive and mutate in a subset of humans would make vaccines overall less effective at completely extinguishing a disease. But case by case has a negligit effect on national disparity, but socially it seems unacceptable.
I’m saying that claim is not accurate, there were no eligibility rules at this site later on. They tried restricting to get shots to people in west Oakland reached through the networks of the church and other community organizers, then deliberately opened it up to everyone because they had excess supply. I didn’t get my shot there but live a few blocks away.

You could argue that they shouldn’t have opened it up, or that every healthy person under 65 should have waited until supply was plentiful before trying to get one to not edge out any seniors or other at risk people, but there was no rule breaking or duplicity here.

I’ll also add that after this there were further targeted efforts towards getting shots to these zip codes. Someone in 94607 was eligible at most East bay sites weeks before CA fully opened up eligibility. I think this is what mberring is referring to, but it was a separate program from the vaccination site at the church.
Those ghost towns today are still ghost towns. If the suburban massive parking lot megastore is the best the economy has to offer I'm not sure whether the economy should exist that way.

Also note - Amazon is doing the exact same thing to any remaining small retailers, squeezing suppliers like crazy and intensifying the brands selling exclusively from overseas (also destroying brand reputations as fakes are absolutely rife).

Also doesn't help that the middle class has dwindled and anyone caught below the "capital gains" economic apartheid line doesn't have money anymore so even if they wanted to buy local they couldn't.
Given the recent trend initiated by cloud providers offering cheaper and almost equally performant arm based alternatives, I predict that arm and hopefully risc-v will be the popular choice in ~3 years.

As for the consumer vertical, samsung and the like will most likely offer arm based laptops to complete against Apple's M1.

In other words, x86 will be fading away as most of the money is being invested in alternatives including Intel.

This shift reminds me of the time when cloud was still a new trend and many were saying at the time that companies won't run their business in a cloud for security reasons and more.

When the alternative is simply better for businesses, they adjust to the new reality to stay in business.
Wait, but that was a lot back then.
I was bullied and beaten for being "the jewish kid" when I was growing up. I'm completely sure that those "woke people" would have joined the bullies then. They're exactly the kind of people who enjoy ganging up on someone and feel their superiority.

I don’t shop at Walmart for three reasons:

1. They always have boxes of un-stocked products stacked in the aisles, making it hard to navigate my shopping cart through the store.

2. Their food selection isn’t as good as other local retailers.

3. The Walmart near me locks the door near the handicap parking after 10:00 pm, even though they are open all night. I’ve been forced on multiple occasions to walk all the way to the other end of the store to get out and then walk all the way back to my car again, which is painful for me and why I have a handicap tag in the first place.

Two of those issues seem fairly easy to fix, yet they never do.
Neither a prophet nor scripture is a necessary component of religion. The classic religions of the Greeks, Romans, Germanic tribes, Africa, and the New World, had neither of these things, and the list is not exhaustive by any means.
You haven't offended me. You've offended yourself, and the decency of the people you spoke to on here. You limited yourself, and disrespected them and I saw you doing that and pushed back. And you complain and now try to prove you were mostly OK all whole time. You're offended here, isn't it?

So...basic speech and physical facts, huß? So you read it as I'm offended by these things hmm, that's interesting. I suppose reading it that way you can more easily dismiss or try to minimize to yourself what I'm saying, tell yourself it's just emotional or irrational and something you don't need to learn form.

Do you know how I feel about it? If you really know then tell me? You don't know. You're just pretending, to suit yourself.

The difference with the other posted is they are not imposing limits, but you are. You might think it's symmetric, but it's not. It's more likely that things are more abundant than you know, than that you have already discovered everything that's possible, so you should be more respectful and modal when expressing restrictions.

You say adding qualifiers like "I think" and "I believe" is noise, but it's about respect and empathy and the tactic acknowledgment that you don't have all the answers, other people's ideas are valid, and what you are saying comes with that openness and curiosity to learning more. It makes sense that you read those things as "noise" given the low quality of your responses and low respect and empathy with other's opinions here: ie your totally disrespectful language pretending people who don't share your narrow view are "crazy"

It's good you reveal your thinking about it. I think you are missing the point that you're not just writing down a verbatim statement of the facts like a dry mathematical treatise or policy document you are communicating with other human beings. Trying to come off like that, will do you much better, and I think you have much to learn.

You'll definitely be able to do that if you make the effort it. That's why I spent so much time on you.

I believe you can, please do the effort and have a good one.
Looks great, thank you.
This is a standard rhetorical trick.

Of course we are all too ignorant to say anything, however I have done some poor quality research/thinking, *INSERT OPINIONS**
I don’t know why any of those three possibilities qualifies as a “bad look”. They’re working humans with needs, just like anyone else. It’d be like saying it’s a bad look whenever a few programmers are at a computer. What could they be doing?
Try imagining the possibilities when using validation-capable inputs other that checkboxes and radios, too. How about a range slider, or a text input with a validation regex...

For further inspiration, I recommend reading the entirety of the HTML Living Standard and the current CSS Snapshot about once a year. I'm currently excited about the opportunities for [open], particularly with the <details> and <dialog> elements.

My biggest disappoints of the year are with <datalist>, unfortunately, which is so mysteriously half-baked it's practically worthless; followed by Webkit dragging its heels over <dialog> support and customized built-in element support.

I think you’re confusing people who are bad at their jobs, with jobs that are themselves pointless.

Also, you can add software development to the “meetings/email/reports” list, because that too is just another form of admin overhead from the perspective of most businesses that exist to do something other than sell software.
Beware of Kafkatrapping
> Due to the lack of rules, I didn't have the option to give the vaccine I took to an underprivileged person of color in the West Oakland community.

You did have an option to give it to someone less privileged - The option is not taking it yourself so that someone who is at higher risk likely gets it, which is what the program was trying to achieve. In a world of limited supply/capacity one person getting a vaccine simply means another doesn’t.

I’m not from the states, but your post does seem to be the stereotype of American culture of “seek individual benefit at the expense of the wider community”, I.e. “I didn’t technically break any rules, so why am I being berated for jumping in front of other people who are more in need?”.
No, but I do remember SmarterChild.
Nice find.

I'm hopefully preaching to the choir here but please beware that high-visibility flaws often attract fake PoCs. Malicious in the sense "might [also] attack the user" (you!).

Often these will surf on work done by valid PoCs to look credible. GitHub was stuffed with them for the Hafnium Exchange bug, before Microsoft brought down the ban hammer. (At the time there was lots of mewing about "Microsoft protecting their own" and "Microsoft killing free speech" but I wonder if they weren't also interested in stopping the pwnage from these fake exploits, too).

I'm not saying this repo is malicious. This github user looks legitimate and doesn't look like the obviously-created-by-a-bot profiles I've previously seen. Even so I wouldn't necessarily trust ~5000 vendored class files. Play carefully.
As others have said, CCNA study materials are probably a good start.

If you want to start understanding the point of of ASNs and BGP, this page isn't bad: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/network-layer/what...

Given what you've described about your task, you probably only need to learn TCP/IP, and don't need to learn about the lower layers (what the OSI model calls the physical and data link layer) or the upper ones (e.g. you probably don't care about whether your routers are carrying HTTP, SMTP or whatever).

Internet: collection of LANs

MAC address: the hardware address that uniquely identifies a network card, but is only visible to other devices on the same LAN

IP address: an address that uniquely identifies a device on the internet

Subnet: a subset of the IP address space, that's used for a LAN

DHCP: the protocol routers use to assign an IP address to each device on the LAN

ARP: the protocol used by a device on a LAN to find another device on the same LAN, when it knows the IP address but needs the MAC address. (You need the MAC address to send a packet to a device on your LAN)

Router: has more than one network interface, with each interface on a different network. At home, your router is connected to your LAN, and to your ISPs network.

ASN: A network that has a permanent allocation of part of the IP addr as space.

BGP: the protocol used for one router to tell another router what networks it can route traffic to.

How do you send traffic to devices when you aren't on the same LAN? You send them to your router (whose IP address you find out when you're assigned an IP address via DHCP, and whose MAC address you can find using ARP).
Please don't say thanks god we got the vaccines. I got it, you got it, but most of the people in the world having, and they are suffering more from the lack of jobs in their countries than any of us living in a richer country could imagine.
