The superoverrich are currently drowning in money. They don't know what to do with their money anymore. That's how you end up with the ridiculous stock marked and the bitcoin surges.

If just a fraction of that money were put to good use, society would benefit immensely. We could pay to improve public schools for example, or offer a public healthcare option.

When you make housing too expensive, people just get up and move. People are not surfs and are not trapped or stuck living in a house they can't afford. It might not happen overnight but populations do migrate due to housing costing too much.
Thanks and appreciate the questions!

1. We have a few customers who have switched over from Metabase for a few different reasons. The main ones are that we offer much more extensive UI components, more chart capabilities, better security guarantees, and highly customizable styles. While $500 is more than Metabase's price point, we believe that an embedded first solution is worth the price since it will save you 10-20x the cost per month on development and maintenance costs.

2. Yes! A dashboard is just a collection of one or more charts/UI elements and so if you make a "dashboard" which is just a single chart, you can easily embed that. We have many customers who have this use case to embed analytics granularly throughout their app.

3. Not currently, though I'd love to understand more about how/why you would want that. We've heard this a few times as a "nice to have" but would love to build it out with a customer that really needs it.

4. It sounds like you'd be a great customer for Explo! It takes all of the hard work of building out user interfaces out of the equation and makes it so that you just need to specify data queries with SQL and then use our drag and drop interface for UI building.
Less stressed then before? I don't need to put a harvest in the ground to avoid starvation next winter. I don't need to worry about the neighboring tribe burning down my village and murdering me. I haven't lost 6 children in childbirth.

I wouldn't be surprised if humans have fewer real stressors than ever.
Either that or people/entities surveiling their own ground.
Also worth noting they have similar ownership stakes in other public companies for the same reason, and somewhat limited leverage over any of them because they can't threaten to pull their investment
Not my experience. I use it out of nostalgia, but only for select sites. Many sites with modern SSL config won't load. Click a random link that lands you on a js-heavy site and the browser will stutter or often crash. Which is impressive because back in the day opera once had the fastest js engine by a mile. Goes to show how far V8 has come.

But browsing traditional sites that just have a little bit of js and are mostly static still feel faster to navigate on this 8 year old browser than the most recent chrome.
If the value of my home jumped 10x in a year, I would be ecstatic. Are you kidding?
It doesn't always have to be amicable and friendly - sometimes you just have to find something new, quit, and move on. I would say in these cases, just try to control your reactions as much as you can in order not to make things worse while actively planning your exit. If you need to report anything bad, keep records of everything and follow the proper channels to do so.

Linux's Unix predecessor originated in the mid-1960s and into the early 1970s. It's almost 50 years old at this point. It didn't even get POSIX compliance until the 1980s, and it was 20-25 years old (2x BTC) when Linus got around to building the Linux kernel.

Bitcoin (and blockchain generally) is only 12 years old. Time will tell how well this comment ages... but it's a bit unfair to compare the two directly at their respective ages.
Have you tried using Wanikani? I have been using it for less than half a year and I already know more than 600 Kanji, most of which I can recognise in written text also. Of course, it helps if you reinforce the material through some other means, too, e.g. by working through a textbook.

One solution would be to dockerize your current setup and then spin a container for each school.

How can anyone read and conclude that the US is anything other than dying and on life support?

Perhaps by looking outside the window? By walking around your town/city? By driving to nearby locations? By talking to people and asking them about their lives rather than their opinion of the lives of other people they've never met? By trusting what you see more than than drivel spouted by tin-foil hat loons?
>It's quite presumptuous to demand the people of another country refer to themselves in a particular way.

Not just Americans. In Portuguese, Americans (that is, those from and of the USA) are often called americanos. In French, américain is much more commonly used than États-Unien.

The Spanish meaning of americano that does not include Americans in this way is very unusual among major Western languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_%28word%29#Other_lang.... I don't mean to say that the equivalent of "American" in those languages is the only way to refer to those of the USA, or that equivalents to "USA" and such don't exist. In Portuguese, Italian, and German, however, saying Americano/Americano/Amerikanisch would generally be understood as referring to that of the USA without additional context, as opposed to a Brazilian or Argentinean, in a way that Americano wouldn't in Spanish.
> All they built were stupid luxury apartments

Luxury apartments doesn't mean anything other than new construction. No one ever build super low end new housing in a desirable area, the land is too expensive. You need new construction like this to push down the value of existing housing.
You misunderstand - the whole point of the scheme is they don't have to pay the property tax. It gets (partially or entirely) accumulated in a lien against the house, and the seniors stay as long as they want.

When they choose to sell, or their estate sells, the property tax is settled first from the proceeds of the sale.

I'm saying this scheme is in place in other locations to address the same problem you describe, and seems to be working better than prop 13 (at solving that).
> This is not in good faith at all.

What do you mean? The article is arguing that crypto-currencies (as they are run today) are illegal under existing laws, therefore we don't need new laws.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, how is this a "bad faith" argument?

It sounds like you just didn't like the conclusion but couldn't find anything actually wrong with the logic...
This comment is the top Google result for this term.
I will add, separately:

> Conspiracy proponents act like the lab leak theory being true is some game changer. It's the stupidest thing.

On the virus issue specifically, here are three mainstream narratives that have been largely up-ended, and if you were in tune with a variety of viewpoints you would have been exposed to for your own conclusions before they became mainstream:

- "Coronavirus" was an immense threat and it was wise to prepare for it arriving and turning into a pandemic. Government actions to cut it off eg by banning travel was warranted. (Promoted in Jan 2020 in certain circles, discounted by consensus)

- Being a likely airborne pathogen, wearing masks (particularly N95s) was wise. (Promoted from Jan, in March the surgeon general and others claimed there was no reason to wear masks.)

- Given the proximity to the lab the idea this came from the lab was a worthy explanation worth investigating. (Promoted from March by my recollection)

For me, I was wearing a medical-grade mask in stores and stocking up on supplies in January 2020 due to my exposure to this information with a relatively open mind. I don't discount the possibility that, given that I have advanced lung disease, this priming reduced my prior probabilities of catching and even dying from this pandemic. I was mentally a few weeks ahead of the narratives I read in the media throughout this pandemic and made a variety of decisions around risk management that were in conflict with what felt like the average consensus. This doesn't mean I was confident in these theories per se, but when you're forced into making risk adjusted decisions having a diversity of ideas swirling in your head opens the possibility of having a better risk calculus, esp if the goal is to be conservative.

This is a great point! Email is and will remain _the_ messaging use case for any business. I've created a ticket for adding email as a messaging source so you can track the progress: https://github.com/airyhq/airy/issues/1953

And yes we do plan on adding more sources and are therefore listening to the community to learn which are most in-demand. So thank you very much for the feedback!
The fact that the linker is written in D probably invalidates the claim that "everyone can understand it".
Sure, but that's why you add multiple devices/keys to your account. Reinstalling the OS should be fine.

I'm very much looking forward to password managers acting as soft-WebAuthn tokens so they can hold a simple private key and log you in to sites automatically by answering the login request. That way, you only need to unlock your password manager and you can log in to any site without a u/p.

Just don't get your password manager stolen, I guess, but that's already the case.
How do you handle any medical claims by the manufacturer? Few consumers will be able to determine independently whether or not such claims are justified.

How should consumers judge the quality of the research into this drug?

How should they judge potential side-effects?
> Why are they doing the government's work for them, and blocking Russia?

In order to avoid outgoing mail to Russian mail providers from being blocked.

I.e., if the government blocks them, then BOTH Russian and Western users suffer (Russians because they can't access the service without technical tricks, and both because they can't send mail to Russian users of other mail providers). If they block Russian user signups themselves or can otherwise kinda-sorta-legitimately claim that they don't have Russian users, then only Russian users who don't have a VPN suffer from being unable to access the service.
> With cryptocurrency, anyone can transact the real thing. There's no counterparty risk.

This only holds true if there was only one cryptocurrency in the world and everyone used self-custody. As soon as you have multiple cryptocurrencies and multiple networks and multiple wallet providers, you have counterparty risk.

Coinbase may not disappear, but others may. Similar for Bitcoin etc. etc.
>Ad hominem attacks are worthless in a discussion of ideas.

Some of the conspiracy theories are part of the twitter thread. It's entirely reasonable to discuss these here, especially if the thread and account get this amount of attention.

Comments like this one make me seriously fear for the political system of the United States. If that's "tame" I do not know what isn't.
> Therefore this random company owes you security features for free?

Yes.
After 500k COVID deaths and the events of January 6th, I now consider anyone spouting these sorts of delusional right-wing conspiracies to be potentially dangerous sociopaths who need to be addressed accordingly. Nut job is too kind.

We can no longer afford to play along, pretending that sedition and lies are acceptable because they are just normal "conservative opinion".

From a purely logical viewpoint, it is a bit hilarious that you consider the objectively most outlandish of these beliefs to be the only non-cranky one. Although it is, admittedly, the most viable one socially.
Good point on the "Never" phrase. I updated the wording of the article to soften it a bit. I too have been in a situation where the best I could do was just get out as quickly as possible and try not to make things worse for myself, so I understand for sure.
Exactly. The irony to me is no one really wants price discovery in order for volatility to be reduced so that crypto can actually function as money. Function as money in the sense of signing a year long apartment lease for x amount of BTC a month. Not just paying in USD after a conversion.

That is almost the last thing people want.
This is kind of textbook NIMBY although it is possible taking away the commercial zoning could make the area too light on commercial activity.

But one of the main contributors to housing shortages is that areas have been overly permissive with commercial zoning (since they don’t have residents, city expenditure is low) which causes imbalances in the amount of jobs:people in an area. That in turn not only increases prices but increases traffic as some portion of people must be commuting from afar to fill those jobs.
The break loop example in the article (^C and continue etc.) probably won't work with these minor also-Lisps.
66,781,000 Detached Single Family Homes in the US [0]

$272,400 median home selling price in the US, 2020 [1]

That's just over $18 Trillion for the entire US Detached Single Family Home market. I'd be interested to know how much Blackrock has budgeted for this fund (and how much of the spend is leveraged, and up to what number. And who else is doing the same type of fund and to what magnitude).

Note that per Statista, the median home price is anticipated to increase from $272,400 to $324,000 between Q4 2020 and Q2 2022. That's a 20% increase in real estate over an 18 month period. Given that we're seeing this story now, Blackrock likely executed these purchases many months ago. Their fund is likely leveraged, making the potential profits huge.

It looks like a very high-stakes play by Blackrock, which I know to be a hedge fund, so perhaps part and parcel of their business.

Let's take drug money as an example - the solution here is to legalize and control substances, not criminalize them and then ban something totally unrelated (blockchain technology). This is patching a symptom rather than fixing the root cause which never works out.

And most importantly, withholding blockchain technology is not a solution to money laundering - it is happening already with legacy systems.

Fixing money laundering is not the priority here - we can look at fixing this later in our journey.
Vim-bootstrap site has a new layout using Dracula UI
Meanwhile, in many neighborhoods, the older, wealthy, established residents are paying 1/3rd the taxes needed to support infrastructure and services, compared to newer, younger residents who are trying to establish a nest-egg and raise families without the benefits the older generations had. There is no one solution that will work for every neighborhood, but prop 13 is economic warfare on the young. Portraying it as young tech millionaires against poor, old retirees is not true for a large portion of those affected here in the present.
I assume you're talking about property taxes, which is not really what we're talking about here.
> We should manage the revision of data the way we manage the revision of our source code.

I think some new features of e.g. Postgres allow for something like this, but all SQL databases have the same basic design flaw: no inherent version control. SQL Databases are so big and complex that they haven't evolved much in 30 years. That's why there's so many "new" databases that are either a wrapper around Postgres, or trying to re-create parts of a relational database from scratch.

It would be great if the next iteration of the SQL standard included version control semantics.
I recommend a Display Link dock. Just started work with an M1 MacBook last week and I can power 3 external monitors with it, no real issues after the first day (they're releasing updates to the driver regularly at the moment).
It's never appealing to make a long time member of a community leave because they can no longer afford the land they've owned for years, because other people say "I want that"

I move to a cheap, small town. I embed myself in the community and help build it up over decades. And then, at the peak popularity, in part due to my presence, I am forced out, because someone who has never been here says that they would like to live here.

Somehow impressive that they’re able to ship Universal Control (think Synergy only built-in) without M1 or U1. I wonder how do devices know where they are positioned relative to each other in physical space.
There are definitely counties here in Florida that value land and improvements separately. But there's often no separation as far as how they're taxed. It's just all added together. Here's the listing for Tropicana Field, which is owned by the county and therefore qualified as "municipal" use:

Backing up a bit, you wrote,

"It's true that a few (and very much declining) number of countries have some form of wealth tax that includes some amount of unrealized gains. The Netherlands, for example, marks-to-market on Jan 1st of the tax year then doesn't actually track gains/losses over the next 364 days. So that obviously isn't a direct tax on gains."

I wrote,

"What? How else would a tax on unrealized gains work if not mark-to-market at a fixed day of the year?"

How do you believe an unrealized gains tax would work if not mark-to-market on a fixed day of the year?

Backing up even further, as I said, this is extreme hair splitting. Major economies do have wealth taxes, which include a tax on unrealized gains via mark-to-market. Is your point just "lol ProPublica r idiots nobody taxes just unrealized gains"?
That's a necessary point, but who really has the power? What is the chance that the investors will pull out, especially if they are making a profit?
After seeing how Twitter nuked Unity 2020 campaign[1] using "authenticity" as an excuse, and how that garnered zero attention from either tech or political media, I am hyper-skeptical of all claims regarding "authenticity".

I don't doubt that electrical service in nearly all the UK has _much_ higher uptime than the service here in Connecticut.

I could be wrong, but I suspect that the infrastructure in the two places is built essentially the same way. I think the crucial difference is that Connecticut has so many more trees. Downed trees break the lines all over the state whenever a windstorm or a snowstorm comes through. (Come to think of it, most of the UK doesn't get snowstorms, either).

I'm just saying that never for a second would I consider trading any of those trees for additional uptime. Nor do I want to pay the utility providers whatever it would cost to bury all those lines in the ground where they'd be safer from storm damage. I'd rather have a week without power every couple of years.

I'd be curious to know if the story is different in rural or semirural Scandinavia.
Just like paying "Mastercard dollars" at the store means it might as well be pesos? Presumably for transactions that are worth paying blockchain fees, you'd use the blockchain.

Excellent. I would argue strongly that it’s an anti-pattern if literally the only way to sell a drug is to market it to people directly. This is the essence of consumer marketing — it only fulfills needs that it first creates, e.g., “Your breath is disgusting and people mock you behind your back, so use this mouthwash.”
