> the economic system [. . .] makes them dependent

The emotion of dependency seems less likely to be developed by an economic system than of culture. One might claim that it is difficult to separate one from the other. Taking a cultural or an economic point of view I can see how a hierarchical culture would see participation as zero-sum but not an economic system. An economic system by itself, capitalist pig, pinko commie, feudal manorialism, whatever, is enhanced by participation and a sense of interdependency.
Curiously, most econ folks seem to miss this. More likely: they conveniently ignore it when it suits their ends or when writing opinionated pieces after they've "made it".
Flexible location is only so accurate though. It’s unlikely that your work is async as soon as you go remote. So, unless you like working through the night in some locations then it’s not truly a flexible location.
Are you implying that fractional reserve banking is only as old as the federal reserve act?
Everyone seems to be missing the part of the story where I actually got connections and introductions to others in the medical field and got an answer, and the part where an anesthesiologist actually gave me what turned out to be a pretty good guess at the answer because they DO understand biology in general better than me and hey do have to learn a lot about the immune system even if they specialty isn't vaccines.

My point was that the less educated someone is in the medical field in general, the less willing they seem to be to entertain a genuine question, and this is the opposite of being "pro-science". It's only a step above being an anti-vaxxer because they choose better experts to listen to.
What is the event like as an attendee? Do you need to install an app or is it browser based?
Yeah. How can a country survive without unlimited QE? The poor residence will see their buying power constantly rise against all other currencies as the other countries of the world follow in USA's footsteps of unlimited manipulation. Realistically that might actually be tough for any of their exports however and may make everyone unemployed as their "currency" rises in value, but will they also all be rich? Frankly I think it is an amazing experiment.

NVMe is just a protocol for accessing flash memory over PCIe express, do not confuse it with the M.2 form factor (which also supports SATA and USB!). My Optane P900 I use as a ZFS log device is NVMe and plugs into a standard PCIe slot on my PowerEdge R520, and servers frequently use U.2 form factor drives.
Correction: I copied the wrong value for Miami-Dade. It’s 238 deaths per 100k. The previous number was cases.

You're not wrong; it's not like industry constantly lobbies against regulation because they'd be _more profitable_.

None of the angle taken there is specific to Telegram, it could be applied equally to e-mail.
But, like, the reason they lose money is because they invest what they can't stand to lose. If you want to solve that problem, then pass a law that banks should stop transactions to investment platforms if the person has less than an average monthly income's worth of money on their account (to be clear, I'm not in favor of that, just that this would solve the issue you're seeing without the guesswork of timing a bubble). Telling the whole world "btw this bubble might burst" isn't going to protect your citizens better than anyone else, especially not the gambling types that get hurt by these sorts of events.
I agree, but it is interesting because it reveals what many influential people must be thinking about apps like Telegram.
These people are so desperate to shut down certain speech. How many articles have there been disparaging Telegram?

You’ve used a grey argument. Apple themselves have argued that one of the reasons they have to limit repair is for public safety (someone could have a battery explode if they pierce it, for example), whereas we could also argue the other side: that if someone modifies their own medical device and gets hurt because of it that they legally only hurt themselves because they had the right to make that choice.

IMO it comes down to this: do we advocate for laws that give companies the ability to decide what is right/safe for the public, or do we advocate for laws that reflect trust in the individual?

Cars and tractor PCB's as far as I'm aware tap into the vehicle's electrical subsystem, therefore living off the battery. This is why if you don't drive a vehicle or use a tractor regularly, you should be keeping the battery on a maintainer. Most control units have parasitic load to retain ECU state between engine on states, and to keep vehicle security systems doing their thing. They don't usually have dedicated batteries beyond maybe a button for cmos, but again, I haven't seen that in an automotive context. That'll flatline a lead acid battery if you don't drive it or run it for a couple weeks. Guess how I know?

Now, a lot of cars increasingly DO have dedicated antennas for OTA updates, phoning home telemetry and things like that. There might be some wireless CANBUS(It's either that or CAN, I don't have it on the top of my head at the moment).

The real culprit for me is bloody tablets and laptops. No excuses. The ultra-thin form factors are nothing but regressions in maintainability to me. Smartphones I don't even grudgingly accept anymore. The material selection and designs have biased only achieving realistic resilience through off loading that facet of design to accessory manufacturers. Anybody with a "naked" handset should know that current marketing/consumer quality metrics are not aligned on durability in normal chaotic human usage at all.
Commercial accounts get significantly better rates, I've seen at least one startup whose business model is passing along the commercial rate to consumers for a small cut of the savings (my quick search is only finding pirateship.com but that's not who I was thinking of). Similar thing happens on Ebay when you do your shipping label through them (not sure if they're actually taking a cut or just passing on their better rate though).
It was just a conversation with my doctor that gave me this insight. Then I played around with my 'dose'. For me at least, the dose effects happen right away, if I get it right I sleep that night. Maybe check this when sleep isn't critical. Try adding half a cup more each day and note the your ability to fall asleep.

Of course I will have trouble if I have too much coffee.

I have a genuine pathological inability to wake up early in the morning.

Even if I eat 10 mg dexamphetamine and a Red Bull as soon as I wake up, I will sometimes fall back asleep. Some mornings I don't even get that far, and manage to sleep though half a dozen alarms.
in section 1.4 -- the author is arguing that Bitcoin's block chain is not tamper resistant. By means where the cost of rewriting the last segment of the block, to be roughly equivalent to the investment in creating that segment.

I do not quite understand that explanation.
What does he mean ?

I, personally thought, may be wrongly -- that there is an 'speculative' value for bitcoin, which is separate to the 'technological value' of the network.

The 'technological value' is basically equivalent to its resistance to forgery, and resistance to 'outages'.
The more days pass on without forgery and without an outage -- the higher the technological value.

I cannot explain the 'speculative value' though, but that's outside of my interests anyways.
The drug has significant side effects, likely with more to be recognized in wider use — especially in combination with other people.

There is a massive cost, which will be paid directly by patients (creating financial stress & conflicting with other care needs) and indirectly by insurance providers who will cut corners and raise costs for everyone.

There is a psychological cost to telling people to take on all of the previous costs for something you know won’t have any benefit. Offering false hope isn’t a kindness.
After hesitating with Tailwind I did come around to loving it, but I've had a much harder time getting over my initial impressions of Alpine. I recognize that one, it targets a very specific type of website, and two, it's easy to let subjective feelings about what makes for readable & maintainable code get in the way of an unbiased take on the framework. But writing JavaScript in strings is unappealing to me, even for server-side sites that just need some sprinkling.

Some questions that come to mind that would sway me one way or another:

- How is the tooling and debugging experience?

- Do you get intellisense with the VSCode extension within x-for, x-show, etc. expressions?

- Can you easily set breakpoints in devtools and step through your code?

- In reference to the issue below, how susceptible would I be to XSS attacks in using this framework?

Nvidia docker runtime has been more recent. There were some issues with k8s usage and Nvidia docker runtime -- you couldnt use a non-integer number of allocations (e.g., cant split allocation of a GPU).

The transactions pass through generally only 1-2 nodes which will be required to log everything unless they want to risk punishment for laundering illegal BTC, and people dont want to close their channel and end up with illegal BTC without evidence of how it happened, so yeah. There are huge problems with trying to build fungibility on top of a traceable foundation.

Locality of Behavior (LoB) describes a design principle that I believe explains the increasing popularity of libraries like alpine.js, tailwindscss, front end components and, if I may, htmx.

It is in tension with the more familiar Separation of Concerns (SoC) design principle which has been dominant in the web development world.

I am hoping that by introducing this terminology, people who favor this style of programming can better communicate with other developers its advantages.
> Mandating BTC as legal tender is an awesome move. To me the most important benefit is that the 70% of the population which was excluded from banking and relegated to use physical currency will now be included. If the economy is an engine and money is the oil, El Salvador, which had only some drops of oil, will now get a complete oil change with synthetic on top of that.

You are 100% incorrect. Bitcoin is wildly deflationary. Therefore it does not encourage an economy to function, it encourages people to hold onto it with white knuckles. It's not oil for the economy, it's sand.

> Again, did Swiss citizens ask for it? It seemed like US politicians asked for it. Why should I raise my prices because you said you are losing customers to me?

Because if this agreement has any teeth, it will require some kind of sanctions against the defectors from the rest of the members of the deal.
That sounds a lot like Norway though, didn't they have this massive amount of money from some natural resource (oil I think) and made a big pension fund for the population?

There are obviously also counter-examples, but a currently-democratic country finding a new way to make money from natural resources, I wouldn't expect we have a large enough sample size to really say anything about that with certainty.

Edit: The Norway thing being (for those interested):

> [The oil fund] was established in 1990 to invest the surplus revenues of the Norwegian petroleum sector. It has over US$1.3 trillion in assets, including 1.4% of global stocks and shares, making it the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. In May 2021, it was worth about $248,000 per Norwegian citizen.

> Notably usually absent or poorly followed: - waking up early, at the exact same time, every day.

I think not being able to wake up early at the same time every day is actually a symptom of insomnia. If you've been up half the night and only fell asleep an hour or 2 ago, jumping out of bed when the alarm goes off is pretty hard actually.
Allright, let's say I want to send you $5 using bitcoin to cover a coffee. How much of a fee can I expect to spend on this simple transaction? How long will that transaction take?

Currently, the answer is a little over $6: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees... That number has been over $50 on occasion.
> There has literally never been a more direct reward for efficient energy production.

Not having to pay for the inefficiency in producing the energy you actually needs seems to be... more direct?
I can't believe people still don't see the obvious issue that PoW has no sense and it's impact gets progressively worse as the market cap of BTC increases.
The more adoption BTC will have, the more incentive will powerful entities have to take part in mining (obvious analogy: US dollar, the people who control it have the most power in the global financial system).
Also, the more valuable BTC becomes, the more new miners will join in the mining race, since the average payout per kWh spent should stay at a relatively constant % of market cap.
Both of this observations lead to the clear conclusion that energy spent on useless hash cracking will continue to increase, which is just plain stupid. Humanity cannot afford to waste energy in such an obviously non-nonsensical way; if you want to keep the crypto train going, fine, but at the very least switch to PoS.

Careful friend. Jannies will remove your comment.
Yep, reminds me of a tech blog I read in the last year or so (can't remember where) that talked about using 6 replicas for each DB shard (across 3 AZ's IIRC)… they just used EC2's on-disk NVMe storage (which is "ephemeral") because it's faster and hey, if the machine dies, you have replicas!

This post's point that even with that setup, it's still nice to have volume-based storage for quicker image replacements is interesting, I'm not experienced enough with cloud setups to know if that makes sense (eg how long does it take to upgrade an EC2 instance that has data on disk? upgrade your OS? upgrade your pg version? does ephemeral storage vs volume storage affect these? I imagine not…)
You’re ignoring the part about future liabilities.

There's no indication in the article that the DDoS and power station failure are connected. In fact, the article says "officials did not initially comment on whether they suspected a connection between the explosion and cyberattack."
PoW keeps things fair, you have to spend money on hardware and energy or become irrelevant.

In other consensus systems like PoS, whoever has the most capital controls pretty much everything and has 0 incentive to sell what they get since they aren't really spending any energy for their cryptographic signature.

It literally says "rich gets richer" in the protocol which is fundamentally broken in my humble opinion.
I'm not sure that's the best example.

In my mind, it makes sense that Apple won't repair a device that has signs of water damage without replacing all potentially affected parts (the bit about humidity is a discussion all on its own). Water damage can surface in a myriad of ways, and the last thing they want to do is charge a customer for a fix, only for them to come back demanding a refund because their device is broken again.

Rossmann has a small enough operation that he can handle this on a case by case basis. Apple operates at scale, so the fact that they have blanket policies like this makes sense.

Of course the debate changes when Apple makes it so that you can only use them for repairs.
I didn't expect it to be a problem, but empirically it is.

Not really. It's actually the opposite, the merchants of the city rebelled against the Monarchy basically for very similar reasons that the merchants of America rebelled later and as a result there is still a tradition where the queen has to ask permission from the Lord Mayor of London to cross into 'The City' which is a small borough about 1sqm in size in the centre of Greater London. Not that they are necessarily the good guys, the coat of arms of The City has a dagger on it which is symbolic of the dagger used to murder an early trade unionist.
I'm a layman, so correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but I thought inheritance tax only occurs north of ten million dollars, so nobody in a "rags" position is being helped by a lower inheritance tax. If you believe financial success is largely a zero-sum game, then a low inheritance tax hurts the poor. Alternatively, even if you don't believe that, a low inheritance tax still doesn't help the poor.
> Have we reached a state of elite-overproduction?

I don't see that as a bad thing. Of course they won't be elites when overproduced but its output, when looking at the big picture, will be positive. If you're so with your view why stop at universities then? Why educate the masses at all? Why not have classes of educated and uneducated people?
You live in a country with a functional banking industry open to almost everyone and a function currency run by your government.

A major source of their GDP is money sent back to El Salvador from people workit abroad.
