What ever happened to social clubs? I remember my grandpa was a member of the Knights of Columbus and would frequently go there to socialize / network. I feel like these clubs used to be pretty common: Scouts, Rotary Club, Moose/Elk Lodge, KoC, Veterans of Foreign Wars (which no longer requires members to be former military), and local cultural/historical clubs are pretty prevalent.

I've been to a lot of these clubs at the invite of friends, but found that most of the members are 60+. Maybe these clubs need to get out there and advertise themselves to a younger audience, because it's quite clear that many people need the social outlets that these provide. Plus, dancing is fun and people should do more of it.

Ever heard of a hyperbole?
The US government does not actually have the monopoly.

The Federal Reserve does.

The Federal Reserve is not Federal - it is a private bank that mints the dollar, lends it to the government and charges them interest.

(I'd really rather be wrong on this; but if I've just been listening to idiots on the internet, I'm sure someone's going to let me know.)
FTA:

That kind of problem can't be solved with more money. It has to be solved with a behavior change.

If you spend enough time watching nature videos like I do, you will notice that the vast majority of animals are eaten alive by their predators. It's slow, and exceedingly painful and it is ubiquitous. So even if plants were conscious, I honestly don't care. A bear would eat me alive in the most painful way possible and they wouldn't even think a second about it. Neither will I.
I think that assumes that you have reasonably self-motivating employees and work that is often interesting which definitely isn't always the case.

How do you suggest a non-technical manager tells slacking apart from when things just take unexpectedly longer?
The fact that none of the top 3 cryptocurrencies are inflationary tells you everything you need to know about the motivations of the early adopters.

I do wonder what effect this opinion will have in the next 12 months for DOGE.
> No, because it has uncapped supply.

Dogecoin adds a fixed number of coins per year. At this point that fixed number is less inflationary than the USD by a large margin. That said, I'm more of a Monero and BTC guy myself.

> For example, there are now 128 billion Dogecoins in circulation. The rate of increase in the number of Dogecoins, once mined, is no more than 5 billion per year.

>> Literally, people have been fleeced for tens of billions of dollars

Fiat money printing has been fleecing me for over a decade. I've had to endure my salary being held down while rent prices kept going up and I was forced to change companies many times in desperate attempts to get a raise. I even had to change countries, leave most of my family behind to just to try to keep up with inflation so that maybe one day I will be able to buy a simple house and not be enslaved to a landlord.

I agree that most cryptos currently are garbage but it's not fair to call out crypto for fleecing people out of their hard earn money when global reserve banks are doing the same on a much larger scale.

Please consider how hopeless many millennials feel right now being stuck having to choose between different pyramid schemes. As non-meritocratic as crypto space might seem, so far it's the only place where I was able to achieve any sort of success as a software developer. The fiat corporate ponzi is the least meritocratic ponzi of all.
I must admit I never fully understand PP. I get you need to be cautious in cases of asymmetric risk where say 99.9% of the time the outcome is good and 0.1% catastrophically, unrecoverably bad. Especially when the distribution isn't even known.

But this is everything in life! Every time you get in car, cross the street, climb the kitchen stairs. So there is a tradeoff somewhere, but we don't know where, almost by definition. Which makes this principle rather unprincipled.

If only we could know when we don't know.

Go doesn’t benefit as much from docker, but if you’re already living in a docker world (i.e. everything you deploy is a docker image, and it’s managed by compose or kubernetes) then it’s easier to use docker than not.

We build images (about 20, each with a Dockerfile) from a monorepo with a single go.mod. I have basically a full replica of prod running locally in k3s — letting k3s manage it all is easier than dealing with the pile of environment variables that would be needed to get everything hooked up properly. And with kustomize, we can reuse a bunch of yaml from prod.

Sometimes I’ll run go binaries locally on my machine for debugging (the builds still work because go’s packaging is finally stable). But the difference is minimal — using docker/k8s is more about streamlining deployment/config/rollback (and the occasional co-packaged asset) than anything else.
Thanks, TIL. So the basic difference is it seems like the pyramid nature is concealed in a ponzi scheme.
This is just a bunch of bluster. The FED isn't the SEC. They don't have a law enforcement division or anything like that with guns and badges.

Some guy got in a car accident(Lewis v. United States)[1] with some Federal Reserve employee and tried to sue under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which allows the federal government to be sued for certain things, like car accidents, as they are normally subject to sovereign immunity. The judge said this didn't apply to the Federal Reserve because they aren't a federal agency. There is actually a long interesting argument in the case by the judge about why the Fed is not a federal agency. They can hire and fire employees at will, their workers are not in the civil service pension program, they get workers compensation, they receive no appropriated funds from congress, they can sue and be sued under their own name, etc.

Jeez louise. I guess I give up on my stop misusing the term Ponzi scheme rant. Doge is all sorts of terrible things but it does not meet the traditional technical definition of a ponzi scheme when all of the gains to investors are generated via sale of assets on the open market and they have been totally honest about the nature of the asset from day one (it's a joke, it's a toy, don't take it seriously), and there is no structure of payouts that ensures that money from specific investors gets funneled to other specific investors based on seniority. It literally meets none of the criteria except for the sole fact that people that bought early made money(which is true of literally any asset that has gained in value over a time period).

But I guess Ponzi has been officially redefined to "speculative asset that is in a bubble" at this point if that's what the regulators are going with.

Except what do you call the thing Bernie Madoff did now? Because that had nothing to do with "speculative asset in a bubble".
I don’t need to be a federal reserve chairman to reason that Doge is a Ponzi scheme. The problem is that people want to participate in Ponzis, for the most part, it turns out.
The purpose is reactivity: when X state changes, Y needs to update. How do we know which Y's care about which Xes? How do we initialize and clean up those associations as Xes and Y's get created and destroyed? How do we make sure X can't be mutated without triggering Y to update and stay in sync?

This is necessary on the web because it doesn't operate in immediate-mode. React, despite its name, doesn't actually solve the reactivity problem (well, setState and hooks kind of do, but they're pretty basic). The big deal with "state management libraries" like Redux and MobX is that they give you an enshrined container of state that knows how to publish its changes to the things that care about it, in a way that's more performant and ergonomic than the naive approach. That comes with different caveats and constraints depending on the library you choose.

You mentioned events, which can be part of a solution (just like regular callbacks can), but they don't actually solve the hard part of the problem.
I don't think that's in any way wrong. Yes, yes they are the same.

>“Maybe five years from now or 10 years from now or 20 years from now something useful will emerge from this, but so far, all that’s emerging is burning garbage,” Kashkari said.

I would love to hear Vitalik Buterins take on this. After listening to him for a while, I got very humble with respect to the ideas of crypto, the abstraction of value etc. - of course the world of crypto is dominated by pump and dumps at the moment, but I'm not convinced that that's all there is to see. I think that crypto will reshape the world of money, just not in the terms that money is being thought off right now. If that assumption holds, most people would be unable to see the forest for the trees.

Far fewer moving parts in consoles. I deal with vintage SNES consoles, and as long as you replace the capacitors and the 7805 voltage regulator, the vast majority work perfectly. All these parts are trivially sourced brand new, of course.

I guess the original proprietary ICs won't last literally forever, but probably long enough for anyone to still care.
I mean it's not a Ponzi scheme in that there isn't a 'borrow from peter to pay paul' kinda thing happening. It's actually just a kinda weird lottery with manipulable game theoretical rules.

I think of a Ponzi as a scheme where someone is managing the game and intentionally defrauding new investors to pay old ones demanding redemptions. In the case of Doge no one party is managing the game and it's not even clear that there's any coordination amongst the large players. Again, at best it's a kind of game of chance with ill-defined rules.

I still think it's worthy of condemnation as lotteries should have well-defined rules, IMHO, but that's an aesthetic issue. I'm only objecting to the specific use of the term Ponzi which I don't think applies here (and we should be specific with our language lest we lose our ability to define things sufficiently).

I would guess that network effects and the amount of quality tools built on top of Git are the main reason for its prevalence.

Fossil and Darcs sure look nice, but having to self-host my repositories or use a smaller company that could go under at any minute? Having to use barely-maintained plugins for my editor, CI, CD, etc.? And most importantly, having to explain a completely new set of tools to anyone who wants to work on my projects? In my opinion, it just isn't worth it.

> Close the loop hole for crypto wash sales, back door conversions, real estate tricks

> and implement a basic flat tax

What's a "basic flat tax"? How does taxing every income at the same percentage simplify "loopholes"? Loopholes occur when deciding what counts as income.
It's important to note that a nation's official currency has intrinsic value simply because the nation's economic output is, by law, required to be expressed in terms of it, and each and every transaction involving the state, whether it's paying for goods and services or paying salaries owed to state employees, are expressed in terms of the official currency.

So, it's hard to hand-waive around the fact that an official currency, unlike a so-called cryptocurrency, does have intrinsic value because by definition certain units of account do buy you certain goods and even the work of full-time employees.
When you choose to compile a dissertation from peer-reviewed articles, only those articles count which are written after you start the PhD program, discussed in seminar, and published. For me to write sufficient material for a dissertation and see it published would take about three years. So, that is three years I would be expected to do various administrative drudgery within the department.
Plotly is fantastic - great to see another release. Have been using it to integrate charts into Oracle Application Express (APEX), which works really well, and provides for much more interactive data visualizations over the built-in APEX charts.

While the conclusion that "Doge pumping is a scam" is very likely correct, the sentiment that an adversary can't give an unbiased opinion is also correct. I'd value the opinion of an expert with no skin in the game more.
It's a good article but mostly because there is so much misinformation out there.
your comment makes absolutely no sense. rent prices going up has nothing to do (directly) with fiat. your lack of wage increases also is not a problem inherent to the use of fiat.
For what it's worth, without the word option being emphasized here, yours is an equally selfish desire because it brings harm to that person or group of people who prefer the office experience. I liked working in an office, sorry you don't.

while I do agree that sometimes this seems a bit newagey or, to use an obvious word, "treehugger", I've grown to appreciate the insights from the true believers. I don't always go as far as they do, but I do find there are plenty of surprises with plants.

When researchers opened their eyes and looked, they could find concrete proof that plants often communicated and nurtured their young. They shared and built communities. They worked together to fight enemies. Sure, they don't use the same tactics as animals, but if you look at their progress in the abstract, it's easy to see how they're not sedentary or stupid.

I was definitely implying there your thinking on this matter was impaired (which isn't the same as calling you stupid, but it is close), and I thought even if you had blanked out the "having your bell rung" that part would have been pretty obvious from the context. Clearly I was very wrong.

Again, I'm sorry. I clearly didn't phrase things well, and I shouldn't have made the statement regardless. I would remove that sentence from the comment if I could.

The Treasury operates the U.S. Mint [1]. That said, most dollars are created privately by banks when they create deposits through their lending. The Fed oversees all of this while also creating dollars through similar mechanisms (albeit higher-powered ones).

> Federal Reserve is not Federal - it is a private bank that mints the dollar

The Federal Reserve was created by an act of Congress. Its leadership is appointed by the President. Its profits remit to the U.S. Treasury. It's a creature of the government in everything but name.

Most of my drive came from fear of not being able to make enough money to live in the bay area, or from being thought unintelligent.

I think if you run into this a lot, git revere will be helpful:

https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rerere

If you have a lot of long-lived branches that don't merge and get deleted you have a whole different world of pain from normal git usage, and need some resources designed as SCM experts to manage this stuff. But really short lived branches that deliver net steps forward are the way to live.

I hate branches because it breaks git-bisect. Linux kernel history has lived without it, so I'm guessing the "our code is so complex we need it" is a false idea.

Also, the actual history of what main/master points to is linear. If the bit-post merge are identical, it doesn't matter if they were rebased or not except having 2 ancestors for HEAD is a lie.
We put all 3 of our kids through ISR (Infant Swim Resource). they started at 9 months (based on summer relative to their birthdays).

Nice video, but it almost completely misses the point:

Even if all ads on all websites were made in a privacy-respecting way, people would still use adblockers.

This is because people simply hate ads in their browser. It is because they make browsing experience miserable. They add bloat. They distract from the content. They add cognitive overhead. They slow down browsing. They are literally unwanted guests in our browsers.

So Brave’s model replaces one set of ads with another, basically achieving nothing to mitigate the problem itself - very existance of ads in the first place. What makes Brave’s ad model worse is that it offers people a monetary incentive for doing an activity (watch ads) that we know they are trying to avoid (by using a browser with an ad-blocker). So the very premise of this setup seems to be that people hate ads just because they are not privacy-respecting. But reality is that people normally simply do not want to be exposed to ads.

(btw the only ad based business model that would align all incentives is one in which users would be paying to see the ads)
