They invest a lot and not cars catching fire is unfortunately not that uncommon. I'm not sure Tesla is worse than the others. In electric cars, Hyundai and general motors got a few fires from LG batteries. If you think about ICE cars, its really not uncommon for them to burn too.

If you really think Tesla is a pyramid scheme, you should consider reading their financial reports and test drive a recent one. It's perhaps a bit overrated and the full self driving is not happening anytime soon, but it's a solid product.
Tesla is the absolute world leader in battery manufacturing. A lot of people are betting on that as well. Tesla has a lot of things going for it if you project what we are going to need in the future.

I’m not saying it is a good/bad investment but their entire car business could fade away and they could still be doing mega-business in other “green” business lines.

Firstly, amoung my friends I have the worst eyesight, it’s not legally blind thank god, but genetically I got pretty unlucky, my dad is legally blind and my mom’s eyesight is only slightly better than mine. But guess what, someone 400 years ago invented a great device that helps alleviate 80% of the issues that come with poor eyesight and it’s great. Anyone with poor vision can wear glasses, specifically reading glasses can be had for about $5 from any drug store (in the US). Ruining the experience of restaurants to only slightly convenience a minuscule demographic (those who have poor eyesight but for some reason refuse to acknowledge it and acquire corrective lenses) is idiotic. Bec even then, as the author pointed out you’re excluding another demographic.
"I think it boils down to a lot of our politicians being old, scared of being perceived as weak on crime, and some pretty heavy lobbying efforts by tobacco and alcohol companies."

It's not just that. A lot of people, including politicians, truly bought in to a lot of the anti-drug propaganda.. and many of them are also in religions which consider drug use sinful. For many of them, their opposition to drugs comes from the same sources as their opposition to gay marriage and abortion: their churches and religious leaders.

What's been incredibly interesting, however, is how their attitudes have been changing once people started to become aware how helpful psychedelics and cannabis can be... to mental and physical health, and to spirituality.

Lots of people are hurting, and the medical and mental health establishments have failed so many people. Even church prohibitions are having a hard time standing up to that, especially if they have a sherd of compassion for those suffering and those than can be helped with these unjustly illegal substances.
I think so too but it also serves as a show of how disconnected politics often is from public opinion. IMO, in a democracy, if public opinion is strongly in favor of something (and there's not clear evidence that that thing is just plane dumb, which we can vet by asking experts), then it is the politicians duty to implement that thing. Yes, they should serve as a safety net (vetting with experts) but they should not impede progress. (In fact, I'll say that they should often ask experts and implement things that are not "widely" popular, but at least mildly popular, if experts think it is a good idea. Which is very clear in the case of drugs. We've got lots of evidence)
It would seem likely that the tether mint participates in some exchanges and buys or sells to keep the price stable.

This theory is backed up more by the fact the tether price history matches with a script in someone's basement that occasionally crashes and it takes a few hours to repair, during which the price wanders before being clamped 1:1 again.

That's functionally identical to going to the mint directly, and means the mint doesn't require any customer service etc.

Also because WeChat scans QR codes very fast, and you have to only hit 1 tap to do the whole thing. Once WeChat sees a QR it opens the link immediately and automatically.

The ordering also makes it more useful. Most restaurants in US just have a horrible HTML 1.0 menu with no ordering system, no pictures, and sometimes even goddamn frames.

With default Android it's like Home -> swipe -> camera -> 模式 -> 智慧鏡頭 and then point at the QR code while trying to tap the link that pops up as a tiny tooltip on the screen at the same time without making it go out of focus at the same time. It's awful.
Do you have a source for either of those claims? The little historical anthropology I've read suggests the opposite: status is a constant struggle. You don't get it and then have it, you work to show it off every day or you lose it, because in a sense it's like Santa Claus; something that only exists when others believe in it. For others to believe in it, they have to be reminded of it.

If anything, people are naturally suspicious of "old money" and other types of get-rich-with-little-effort situations (e.g. usury) and people with old money continuously have to invent new reasons to justify their wealth, not uncommonly resorting to violence to keep a stake in their claim.

(This is an amalgamation of different sub-messages of Drive, Debt, The Elephant in the Brain, Savage Money, and quite probably other sources I've forgotten about, but could look up if you've read the above and want more.)

I love this sort of thing. He’s making a bet, explains his reasoning, and does it in the open! That’s great.

I disagree that there’s no tech here. IMO public ledgers that never sleep are far superior(thanks to the hard work of many people over the past decade), and their advantage over retail banking will only increase. My online banks keep getting worse, crypto keeps getting better. Think about this: banks are CLOSED 77% of the time! Need to send a wire? 3/4 times bank will be closed. Capital will just move far more efficiently on block chains.

I have NO idea whether crypto is a good investment. I agree with the OP that insiders dominate it. But the tech has gotten really solid and I don’t see how the rest of banking has a chance, unless our government wants to burn our economic lead down to protect the status quo.

Not necessarily -- there can be a number of reasons one can access localhost over the loopback interface that does _not_ imply root access: SSRF, misconfigured tunnels, or just a plain unpriviliged account where the attacker couldn't perform privilege escalation (either because the attacker's incompetence or the system being up-to-date and/or hardened)

Many traders still predict Bitcoin to be over 100k by the end of the year. December could align with the bubble peak due to Bitcoin‘s investment cycle triggered by the halving events. That could wreck his short position but if he’s lucky, it will burst earlier.

I think hgibbs is confused between puts (a contract for the ability to sell at a price) and shorting (borrowing to sell immediately and buy back later), but your comment isn't quite right either.

Shorting has unlimited downside, since it may be arbitrarily expensive to buy back the shares/coins that you borrow.

Puts, on the other hand, have a strike price. A contact to be able to sell Bitcoin for $30K is worthless on the expiration date if the market price is $40K. Anybody can sell at a better price than your contract on the open market. The market price going to 0 is the best thing for the owner of a put option. "Stocks can’t drop below 0." is actually a bummer for the put owner. If a stock could go lower, the put owner could sell the asset for even MORE than the market price of the asset.

What hgibbs probably wants to hear is this: The worst case for a put owner is for the put option to expire worthless since the market value of the asset is greater than the strike price when the option expires. The maximum downside is a contract worth $0.

If you want to pay a premium to be able to sell bitcoin at the end of the year for $20K, but the value is still $30K on December 31, your put option is worthless, and that's as bad as it gets.

>In practice they’re quite difficult to convert to real money.

In practice they're quite easy to convert to real money, they're often the most liquid pairs available and extremely easy to convert close to 1:1 for another USD stablecoin as well, if that's your bag.

I have no idea how easy it is in practice to redeem 1 USDT for 1 USD, but it's very easy to convert even a marginally large sum of USDT to "real money" (fiat).

Where it can get difficult is withdraw limits on centralised exchanges, or overly cautious (hoop jumping) KYC processes. This is regardless of whether you're using USD, CAD or any other currency.
I can only speak from a 3d printing perspective, and I've only tried OpenSCAD and FreeCAD.

As rough as OpenSCAD is, I find myself coming back to it, because CAD-as-code is just so useful (including leaving comments). For bashing out quick, fairly simple models I still like it. The various OpenSCAD DSLs can help, but also not when they get superseded or get in your way. I think the review on the posts blog summarizes it well [0].

FreeCAD is apparently capable, but the UI defeats me. IMO, it tries to do too many things and doing none well.

The post doesn't really do a good job of comparing how mature the others are, so I'm not sure. But if CadQuery works as well as OpenSCAD or better, I may just be sold.

Buying put options has limited downside in the same sense as buying a lottery ticket. The worst case (and not an uncommon case) is that they turn out to be worthless and you only lose the money you spent.

I have to swipe to the rightmost tab in normal camera app and then hit Google Lens and then hover over it while trying to top the tiny tooltip that pops up with my huge finger.

Horrible experience.

It should just open the web page with zero taps if I point at a QR code in ANY camera mode, even portrait or panorama or movie or whatever the last mode I was on. I shouldn't have to tell it "I'm going to scan a QR code", it should always be looking for one, because it's computationally very, very cheap.
Close to zero legislators and media outlets at the national level will even tolerate discussions about these items outside of making fun of them.
Initially that might have been true, but now that I thought about it for a little while I don't think I am.

I just personally find it sad that for your average consumer the educational aspects in an educational app are significantly less important than non-educational ones, and that the perceived value of a product vastly overshadows its actual value, that's all.

Yeah, I think that's a consequence of how they're constructing the objects. But things like signed distance fields make that easier* because it'd just be "expand the SDF by 3mm" - https://github.com/fogleman/sdf has `shell` for this.

Alcohol being legal is better than it being illegal, but plenty of people harm or kill themselves and/or others on it all the time... so I hesitate to call this "working"... it's just not as bad as prohibiting it.

Would you know of some blog post or guide in the vein of "essential sane(r) defaults to apply after installing Docker" kind of tutorial? Which included, for example, the chain config you mentioned
I have been using ufw-docker script[1] to patch the ufw and docker issue on my servers. The docker containers are publically accessible even if you have ufw enabled and rules applied.

These days its better to use the hosting provider firewall on top of ufw. Leading providers like AWS, Hetzner etc all provide the feature to add firewall rules via their UI.

False dichotomy. Really successful people work really hard, but also really smart.

Exactly this. Status requires keeping track of people’s standing, but we can’t naturally do that for numbers greater than Dunbar’s.

There comes in play the prosthetic status through indirect signals and symbols, from the feathers on a tribe leader’s hat to follower counts on social media. Unfortunately since status is also a comparative good (it matters having more status than the other) the virtual competition space for prosthetic status is made infinitely stretchable and manipulable for the latter.
> First of all it takes a shitton of steps to scan a QR code if you don't have WeChat
Not really, on most real devices.

> On a default Android device you have to click 7 or 8 times to get into the QR scanner thingy inside Google Lens.

Perhaps, on stock Android with no manufacturer special apps. But the Samsung, Google, and LG Camera apps, at least, have “point at a QR code and the camera reads it”, so it takes as many clicks as opening the Camera app.
It did, but by interesting coincidence, only really got traction when Google Reader shut down, which happened to be the same month of the initial release of Docker.
> Published ports

> This creates a firewall rule which maps a container port to a port on the Docker host to the outside world.

Source : https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networki...

Requiring authentication from localhost does not seem relevant to me, given that the creds would be stored somewhere, either in memory either in a file anyway, but exposing a port is not "binding on localhost".

However testing your firewall after publishing a docker port seems common sense.

Indeed, that's how I found out Docker was using the DOCKER-USER iptables chain that you can customize:

https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/

And that's how I made a simple firewall that works:

https://yourlabs.io/oss/yourlabs.docker/-/blob/master/tasks/...

Another thing, instead of using exposing ports like that, the easiest is to use Docker-Compose, so that your containers of a stack have their own private shared network, then you won't have to publish ports to make your services communicate. Otherwise, just create a private network yourself and containerize your stuff in it.

So for me that's two newbie mistakes which conducted to falling for this non targeted, script kiddie attack which has been going on since 2017.

But yeah, go ahead publish your ports instead of using docker networks how you should, "believe" in your firewall while you're at it, and then blame "docker footgun".
