Michael Saylor, the CEO, holds 70% of the voting shares.

All the other shareholders can kick and scream all they want, but Saylor controls the ship. The only power others have is to exit the ship by selling.

Every indication is that Saylor would hold bitcoin into the ground, unless he's totally full of shit. Their main business is still generating enough cash to pay the loans, so where's the pressure to sell?
Most firms who are going through a hiring process with you will ask you if you are in the process of being hired elsewhere. I think it's ok to say something thing like you have an existing offer on the table that you have not accept yet.
>> top the chart in pandemic deaths

Well, the USA does top the chart in pandemic deaths. You instead just talk about deaths per capita, and call that misinformation. Ok, but that's not what the GP was talking about. A total straw man.

Then when you get around to mentioning total pandemic deaths, look at all the emotive words you pack into the sentence:

> less honest publications like to compare the total number of deaths in order to cynically take advantage of the fact that there are few countries as big as the USA, but of course that's a nonsense comparison.
Looks like a useful and fun side project, just wish I had time to play with it!
One of the best things one can do with Docker, for security, but at the expense of convenience is to configure it to disable the docker-proxy and IPTables manipulation and manage IPTables yourself.

It'll be slow at first, and you'll need new rules each time you bring a container up but you'll have far more control.

We switched to this approach when we had an IP dual-stack issue with the proxy and not only do we know it's secure because we wrote the rules, we get better performance without the userland proxy and more control over routing.

It's important to understand that because your containers sit on a bridged network, INPUT rules do nothing to stop incoming connections, it's all about the FORWARD table.
If anything here has a bug it's the mongo container image that launches without requiring authentication, not docker.

You're confusing the proximate cause for the root cause.
> They clearly made the right moves

The machine with DB had a public interface. No matter firewalls, this is just bad. DB machine should be in private subnets, preferably with no inet access at all, even via NAT.

Proof that it had public interface. TFA: "Docker helpfully inserted an allow rule into iptables, opening up MongoDB to the world"
Docker should at least add a warning message that they are editing IP table rules.

I remember experimenting with docker running on a VM, and being confused for a long time why my ufw rules didn't seem to be working, until I found out this was a known issue.
Maybe, or it might just have been convenient to evolve that way since there was already a high-bandwidth sensory system there.
I’ve experienced that. Sometimes I hear voices but I can’t make out the words. Sometimes it sounds more like birds chirping. I haven’t had that in a while though but when I do, it would happen just as I was dozing off to sleep.

We don't, the maintenance cost in man hours was way to high and replacing it with AWS Aurora made it at least as reliable with a lot less overhead.

On the plus side we can do ad hoc tests and experiments by creating a new Aurora cluster with a recent snapshot and try things out.

You do realize that lots of people will hurt themselves with drugs making them unhappy? It being legal for them is bad. You are sacrificing those people just so you can get high.

Look around yourself, how many people are fat? That is how well people will responsibly use drugs. A large majority lacks the self control to properly use these substances and the law helps them do it.
Didn't know that about PostgreSQL, thanks.

I'm aiming to be as ACID as makes sense for a project this scale, it's slowly getting there.

The disk format is straight Lisp, I want it human readable and easy to process. Versioning is a consequence of the log format and tracking the different versions in memory.

By relational I mean based on tables, or relations; take away SQL and it's more or less the same thing.

No query languages planned, I strongly prefer an API to a query language for interfacing with the database.
Don't believe the lie that ads and dark patterns are the only way to run the internet. I remember the internet of the 90s, we had ways to look at cat pictures, too. And ads back then were way less obstrusive and tracking basically nonexistant.

The issue is that FB+Insta try very hard to become the first/default go-to place for people to post content, just to lure in others and extract value out of them.
> Indeed, that's how I found out Docker was using the DOCKER-USER iptables chain that you can customize

This is very very often thr case with crappy chinese games in the play store. I get ads for so many games that look cool in the trailer but are apparently something completely different if you read the reviews. There's even one that uses some kind of really weird ripped off Age of Empires textures/models for their game. What they have in common is that theyre all pay-to-win chinese games where loot boxes cost up to $100.
> But sometimes objective freedom and making America better go in different directions

I don't see how thousands of people locked up for exercising their basic liberties is somehow "making America better".

> It seems disingenuous to me to ignore the absolute harm that menthol cigarettes have done to communities over the past several decades

Nobody is ignoring the harm. It's obvious. But that can be said about all the drugs, pharmaceuticals too. And alcohol, sugars and junk food has done a lot more damage than what some cigarettes or drugs could ever do. Even flavoured cigars are being banned. Why???

I don't want the government to play nanny state. That's why I want all drugs legalized, not just weed.

More black families and several white families have been destroyed because of the failed war on drugs which has led to kids growing without fathers who are locked up in prison.

"On average, African Americans initiate smoking at a later age compared to Whites." and "African Americans smoke fewer cigarettes per day":

https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/disparities/african-americans/in...

So most adult blacks are making conscious decisions themselves to start smoking when they are adults and not kids. And since 86% of blacks and 46% of hispanics prefer menthol cigarettes over regular ones, the adults enjoy that flavour. But this ban is patronizing them as if the adult blacks are too stupid to think for themselves, so the politicians must treat them as they treat kids and make the decisions to take away bad things from them.

https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/products-ingredients-co...

Instead of making changes so that youth can't get a hand on it, they are banning it because according to their own set standards, somehow adults of these communities are unable to think for themselves. This will end up locking more people of these communities in prison.
Most productions are fine with 99.9% uptime, and a single server is fine for that, so HA is not necessary for most production out there.

For example, I'm running a governmental, nationwide service handling 300k req/day, with 1k admins working daily on the site, on a single server without anyone complaining, and without less than 99.9% uptime even though I reboot to upgrade the kernel twice a month, I did have to fine tune the system but that was actually pretty easy.
Sorry, no.

They don't let you "install" an extension, the `CREATE EXTENSION` command is just enabling an installed extension for a specific database. There are a ton more extensions than Google Cloud SQL or AWS RDS support. Both of them for example don't have the often used hypopg extensions which allows you to hypothetical create an index to check whether it's used for your queries and see how your execution plan changes. Building indexes for large databases can take a lot of time.
That’s not a denial.
I read a Twitter thread a while back saying they use Google Analytics, but if you reject the cookie prompt it isn't loaded.

They need some sort of analytics if they want to know how the site is used, but as a Brit who uses that site I'd really rather they didn't use GA, it's not appropriate, in my opinion for a government service.
Yes it is. There are PoS chains running for years without problems (Tezos..).

I recommend Manuel de Landa (stylizes his name to Delanda these days), particularly “Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy” if your flavor is Anglo style analytical philosophy.

The relevant Deleuze texts (A Thousand Plateaus) can be infuriating if you’re not open to this whole other style of thinking, but Deleuze is no postmodern, he’s a realist and a materialist and sort of a science worshipper, albeit from an angle that would make Neil deGrasse Tyson start bleeding from his nose until he passed out, if he ever grokked it. Start with Delanda, probably.

thanks for the link to 2N - depending on costs it may save me a time implementing rs-485.

The casing is huge, may be ok for a drivway system - in front of a gate, but I would want the casing to be much more lower profile

I have been playing with a crazy idea of getting some sort of realisic dog effect when the door bell is pressed, by using a linear solinoid and syncing the solinoid hitting the door frame (without daminging it) once or twice with a sound of a dog - playing on a few speakers - not all at once, some close and some further away to the door so it sounds like the dog is coming to the door then running off

I also like the mobile youtube website where they will ask you to create an account / login every 2-3 video views to "enhance user experience". This constant nudging (also a dark pattern) is clearly not about enhancing UX (commenting and playlists are not so much of use if you just watch links somebody posts in a chat or email) but clearly for youtube to serve better ads and track you more.
I've lived in the Bay Area and San Francisco and around California for 40 years. And for 40 years, I have read this same exact sentiment every year.

When I lived in SF, I found every sneaky parking spot in the city and always found parking and there was always cool stuff to do in SF. Lived in Santa Monica and the beach was always bitchin'. OK, I admit, Sacramento really, really sucked. But everywhere else is great.

Anyways, I've heard the same thing for forever. "People are fake in LA", "People are money grubbers in the SF Bay." Well, it is not true. I've known plumbers and electricians and lawyers and photographers, none of whom make $30 billion in stock.

Anyways, same old same old, been there done that, hearing the same thing for 40 years. Boring.
I don't watch Fox News nor does this have anything to do with objective facts. I have left leaning friends there who run businesses and it's very well reported even by them.

I use openscad because its fast and easy, but I can feel its limitations.

I want to love CadQuery (cq-editor GUI), because I do a lot of Python work, but something is wonky with the renderer (projection? the edge of a box further from the screen is wider than the edge close to it! like they got the matrix inverted or something)

and something else is wonky with the camera controls compared to... every other 3D application.

I try it again every 6mo to see if it feels good yet, they're still working on it.

Nevertheless, i suspect when they get it right, it's a tool that will eventually be like turbocharging my workflow.

Depends on what you're trying to achieve.
If you're looking for insights on yourself: then being asked a question, to have the answer you gave fed back to you with a pretense of insightfulness will easily be outcompeted by staring at a mirror for 10 minutes.

Ok, let's leave out the health part because nutritional health is a tricky topic. We could argue days and nights about this.

But what we can tell for certain is that it does not require a ton of resources. The cultured cells in the bioreactor also need energy and nutrtients from somewhere, they don't just create it out of thin air. The energy and nutrtients ultimately comes from plants.

Basic physics dictates that there will be a conversion loss. So it is always better to directly eat the plants than to feed plants to something else and eat that.
Yes they are. There is a reason we have a law saying people can't be in a car without seatbelts and so on, it is because people are dumbasses who will hurt themselves. So it being legal for you and everyone else means a ton of people will get hurt just by using it themselves. Are you really fine sacrificing others just to get your fix?
You might want to try it late at night when you're particularly tired.
IIRC it's possible to make a menu like that nowadays without JS, just pure html + css.
There is an OpenCascade version compiled down to wasm [1] that we're currently using embedded in our own app. Rendering to WebGL is relatively straight-forward and the system as a whole works well. Gives me a lot of power when designing mechanical systems and running simulations on the resulting models. Perf of the CAD kernel on the web is not great, but 'just good enough'.

Troubleshooting issues is tricky though. If something doesn't work debugging is nearly impossible and the (C++) docs are very challenging.

OpenCascade is very powerful, but the ergonomics of the API aren't great. Writing a simple FP-style immutable wrapper around it has proven very fruitful and we can now describe relatively complicated models with a bare minimum of TypeScript code. Lot's of fun!

But does it offer the new TimescaleDB 2.0 with all the new features? They changed their license and made all enterprise features free but only for their Community License (for self-hosting).

Ryan Air makes their seats out of recycled portapotties. The owner repeatedly lobbied for standing room in the back,
coin slots on the toilets, and to remove the requirement for seatbelts since "if it goes down, they're all dead anyway." The one time I flew Aer Lingus (in coach, NYC to Dublin via Shannon) I had a fantastic breakfast that still ranks as one of my favorite airplane meals. Sure it cost hundreds of dollars more but once you're in the hands of an airline unfit to transport animals, you wish you'd spent the money.
I have been writing and doing a number of videos about the PinePhone on https://linmob.net.

There is not one interface, there are many. I personally like Purism's Phosh the best, as Plasma Mobile has had more problems for me. The typing experience is overall ok, but it's not fancy (no autocorrect on Phosh, no swiping on any keyboard). I think watching videos can help you getting an idea on that.

What needs to improve? Overall reliably. I've inevitably always run into slowness and lockups after some time (postmarketOS Phosh did best, I could go a week without reboot). But things are slowly coming together, even video acceleration is coming with a future GStreamer release.[1]

Not sure about the snorting part but for injections, maybe this anecdotal experience might help. I have several friends who use performance enhancing steroids and they say injections are better than the orals because the orals have to go through the liver and kidney etc to get processed which ends up hurting those organs more than injections which directly get in the blood stream. Maybe something similar applies for recreational drugs too?

When I was a kid it seemed that electric cars will come sometime in the future. But, it was difficult to imagine how incremental is the change. It seemed that once we had electric cars, everything was going to be electric cars.

Nowadays, I see so many interesting news about electric cars in all categories (even about electric planes). But even that the increase in investment, discovery and deployment is accelerating, it seems slow compared with my expectations.

An electric camper is another drop in a sea of improvements, and it opens options for the ones that are already in the electric bandwagon.

Thanks to the timeless nature of the PDF format (and the supporting applications), I'm able to read a digital content created 3 decades ago. What also blows my mind is that virtually everything about computers has changed over these decades and yet, here I'm reading this brilliant paper.

There is something about the PDF format that gives me real joy just to look at the beautifully rendered content -- letters and pictures. For me, no other format comes close to PDF. In the physical world Springer books are a good match but that's probably because they are typeset in PDF too.

Parsing human-readable strings is application-specific. It's good that this is kept in userland. Not matter how they do it, it's not going to work for at least 50% of use-cases. It would result in additional bloat of Temporal that's probably useless to you anyway. How do you parse (and do you parse) “01. 02. 2003.”, “jan 2 2003”, “2nd jan '03”, “today”, and “tomorrow night”? The API should parse only the ISO standard(s).
