It's best modeled as a speculative asset. It has none of the hallmarks of a good currency. It's not fungible, it's not predictable, it's not cheap to exchange and its value flails around wildly like a decapitated chicken. That's even before you get into the Keynesian vs. Austrian argument that IMO should be long since settled but apparently, here we are.
It's difficult to convert to real money if you are not using an exchange – and I guess the author is actively avoiding those.
I think there are very few anonymous crypto-to-cash conversions due to regulations on money-laundering.

The times they are a-changin:

A poll of 2,000 American adults by Prudential, an insurer, found that 87% of those who worked from home during the pandemic wanted to be able to continue doing so after restrictions ease. According to the same survey, 42% of remote workers said they would search for a new job if they were asked to return to the office full time.
Automation is probably better than HR. And if the cost saved by not having HR can be transferred to workers, it would be a very good solution. I trust computers more than human to be honest.

This is called 'oligarchy' and yes, it's definitely real.
Nice project & looks great!
It is new and groundbreaking once it is discovered/used by the UK, never mind that the stuff is used in continental Europe for decades.
my point is that everything should be allowed and the decision should be at a personal level. that’s freedom! literally the definition of freedom. you can do whatever you want as long as you don’t restrict others freedom
No, they wont have to because all they have to do is pay bondholders slowly over time

The corporate credit markets are really flexible, they dont care that they bought bitcoin, they care that they have enough revenue to cover the bonds

That was the entire calculus and that is still working

The market might assign speculative pricing of MSTR shares with Bitcoin price and sentiment, but that has nothing to do with anything
I highly recommend you give something like Nomad Sculpt a try if you have a chance on an ipad pro (or android with a pen like the samsung tab series) It's easily just as if not more responsive than zbrush and the features as well as performance is more than plenty to create some amazing sculpts (which I have recently done on several commercial projects!)
I don't know how docker is to blame here; to me it's a bit unfair.

It's more about the setting of the ufw. Docker relies on their own NAT table, and setting ufw accordingly requires a bit of setup. That said, having a good setting from hosting provider is quite easier ans safer.

Thankfully most cryptos are moving to proof-of-stake.
The reason it’s usual is because all sites with upload features need the right to host what you upload. Facebook, for example, has the exact same thing.

“Permission to use content you create and share. [...] when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content”

In the UK a "footpath" is a legal right of way for people on foot. It's often muddy, goes through fields with animals, and there usually are many gates or stiles [0] you need to cross. You probably could cycle over parts of it, but some of the footpaths near where I grew up are even hard to walk as the hedges between fields are often overgrown. You only have the right to walk along a footpath, any other use - including cycling - without the land owners pernission is considered trespass.

Often they are hundreds of years old, so any new construction needs to allow the public to cross over them. When I was growing up, one of my neighbours did a lot of research into footpaths in the area, and uncovered a lot of forgotten footpaths. Some of them even went through people's back gardens, and as they were legal rights of way, they had no choice but to open them up (apparently there's a way to move them now for cases like this now).

It depends. For who smartphone addict and whom cards are in a wallet in a bag, launching barcode payment is faster than taking a card. Maybe NFC on smartphone is faster.
How so? Prices aren't set by the amount of BTC in the wild. A currency has no inherent demand. No btc holder can offer any more btc for goods than before.
Summary:
-Bitcoin is not used used as currency
-Bitcoin is extremely wasteful of energy
-Bitcoin is very vulnerable to government legislation
-Bitcoin is mostly a pump and dump by insiders

I agree with the author's points.

No. Unless your business is hosting databases for people your time can be better spent delivering real business value.
Draw yourself a Wardley Map of the services in your product and you will see the place you should be spending time on is delivering features that the customer values not building copies of commodity services.
We get into the same conversation every time people buy at the top and the price sinks 60-80%. And for the past decade it has only bailed people out. So I don't see any reason speculating what will be the demise of Bitcoin because so far every single cycle has created more HODLers at pretty much any insane price valuation.

I don't disagree with any of the "ideal scenarios" that you've outlined here.

But you're apparently completely discounting the idea that if all (most?) drugs are legal, more people will try more drugs and that statistically speaking, not all of those new experiences will happen under the ideal scenarios that you've outlined.

Again, this isn't an argument for prohibition. It is an argument against simplistic rationales like "adults should get to do whatever they want as long as they don't hurt others".
Depending on the company size, I'd speak with the co-founders. One of them may be interested in buying back the shares.

Otherwise, speak with your manger about disposing of the shares. Surely one of the existing investors would be interested if the company is doing well.
Agreed, but there are real questions about proof-of-stake, such as the "nothing at stake" problem.
Machine may screw up 10%, human will screw up another 10%. The difference is that machine will be fair for 90% cases, and human will not. I doubt google flagging issue will be better with humans. Yes, it is not perfect, just as road accidents do happen a lot even though human drivers are in those cars.

Alas, current fuel cells are terribly inefficient.

Running cars mostly on current battery technology seems entirely feasible to me? Perhaps a bit inconvenient at times, but far from disaster.

Even if the chemistry doesn't improve, we can always move to a model where you quickly swap batteries at a 'petrol station' instead of slowly charging them.

Of course, a hybrid world is also entirely feasible: where most cars are electric, but some people with long range needs drive a hybrid like a Prius or even ICE-only car.

(After all, from an environment point of view, 90% of people moving from ICE to electric is 90% as good as the full move. Economically, the people with the minority technology will lose out on benefits of scale, of course.)
TIL about tree shaking and that that's a thing in JS. Is that applicable to other languages? Why not Python?
Also, according to wikipedia (not definitive, but likely indicative of current thinking), psychedelics are just one subset of the larger family of hallucinogens:

> A hallucinogen is a psychoactive agent that often or ordinarily causes hallucinations, perceptual anomalies, and other substantial subjective changes in thought, emotion, and consciousness that are not typically experienced to such degrees with other drug classifications. The common classifications for hallucinogens are psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants.

This is not in the interests of your money-owners.
letting people grow their own is a great step that might take some profit away from the cartels. But part of the game should really be to make the production and large scale sale legal and controlled, and a non-cartel business. Leaving this massive business to organized crime is a huge problem.

I wonder if it is a good deal or not. But i Host m' own Virtuoso instance, an open source DB for graph data, with a 200GB .dB file. Plus an Elastic with roughly 500GB of data.

All that for something like 1100€/year.

About half the boats at my marina are fiberglass. The only maintenance they need is cosmetic, and there are many who skip it and many who polish it.

The other boats are metal. As I write this I am trying to remember if it’s aluminum or galvanized or stainless. There is a popular brand, anyway. The metal boats are popular because it is a fashion thingy to not keep them clean.

The more expensive marinas have bigger proportions of polished boats and teak decks.

Anyway, as a fiberglass boat owner, I’m not recognizing the constant maintenance thingy. Nobody’s told us boat owners! :)

Then again, starting about 5 weeks ago it also stopped responding to "OK Google" and 3 weeks ago it stopped announcing turn-by-turn directions during GPS navigation so I guess this is the state of tech in 2021 :-/

(Definitely don't want an Apple device though, massive privacy issue for me to use a closed source kernel and that I can't easily introspect and MITM SSL requests on to see what data is being sent about me, I do like Android for the fact that I can more or less much hook into any part of the OS and execute custom code to monitor what the hell apps are doing behind the curtain, and even give them fake-but-realistic sensor data to even further protect my privacy.)
Yes, and our friend Pomp left this delightful message on Twitter to mark his passing.

> Mircea Popescu, a Bitcoin OG, has passed away. He likely owned quite a bit of bitcoin. We may never know how much or if they are lost forever, but reminds me Satoshi said: "Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone."

Disgusting. [Edit] To be clear I'm reacting negatively to his choice of framing Micrea's passing in terms of his own enrichment, not quibbling with the mechanics. I've nothing against the idea that supply going down would benefit the community, just the way Pomp chose to address Micrea's passing. I suspect Pomp realized the optics himself as he has since deleted the tweet.

I also cannot recollect visual things in mind eye. It is strange to explain but I am good with inventing things and imagining complex things but I cannot see anything in mind eye. It is not visual it is more as abstract "shape", shape is not good word as it is visual, in my case try to imagine shape more as intuition or feeling.
I do not know how to explain.

I was kind of annoyed by this finding that I started trying different ways to imagine objects. Few months ago interesting thing happen, I woke up really early and stayed up after 2am, when I got in bad, I was in state that I passed state of sleepy, so my mind was fully conscious, (state you can choose do you want to get up or not at any time), and then stream of images appeared from single point, that point grew and like accessing some optic cable hole, and it was vivid very vivid like reality. It lasted just a few 10 - 30 sec before I was knocked of and started sleeping.

It look like my left side of brain (logic) was so tired that handed over everything to right side (pictures colors) additionally leaving spectator (chartering voice) awake for little while. I am no medical person just interpreting subjective experience so do not take any of this as fact. I just remember that at at that point that I had feeling that Logical side of brain imposed some kind of dictatorship on imaginative side of brain, because of job or past experiences. That time logical brain was too tired after more than 20hrs of coding and thinking so it seems went away for a sleep fraction of time earlier than the imaginative side. :)

That depends in if you use docker networks. By default, -p maps a port, afaik to 0.0.0.0:port. So this is more an issue with the default docker settings than anything else.

Yes they should’ve configured, checked, etc. But defaults sound be secure by default

Where by “historically” you mean twice?
It's been a while since I ran MySQL in prod, but a multi-master setup where all writes go to one of them (and other is set to read-only, and your grants respect read-only) is super operable. If you have your config layer key off of read-only status and you kill existing client connections when you switch from read-write to read-only, it's a pretty small effort to switch masters.

I tend to leave the decision to switch masters to humans, and just automate the process. Unless you have bulletproof conflict resolution/reconciliation, automating failover is inviting a conflict that leads to major pain and a large effort to fix. Better to have a few minutes of write downtime while waiting for someone to make the decision (which includes making sure the dead host is truely dead and not just split brained)
Not using their platforms is a solution to many fb problems. But is there a solution using fb? A crowdsourced fb campain with ads targeted at ambivalent fb users urging them to leave the platform comes to mind.
Indeed on NFC on my phone would be faster if I didn’t have to unlock it with a PIN code due to Face ID and my mask. I miss Touch ID-based Apple Pay.
Most markets are like that.

Most markets are dominated by small players that implicitly collude to keep prices up.

Investment Banking can be like that - they will never, ever give you a deal on fees. That's more cultural but it illustrates the point. There's no 'official policy' for rates and yet they won't compete there.

Credit cards will never, ever give you a break that's not out of bounds. Visa fees should be a fraction of what they are.

In Canada, we have about 7 major banks, all the rest are tiny, it's almost impossible to break in. They print profits and will not compete on fees.

This happens because we've understood oligarchy for a very long time. A CEO/PM at an institutional bank knows very well that if he lowers his price, that the immediate response by the market will be price matching and erasure of gains for everyone.

FYI this is one of the big reasons why mature industries are so slow moving.

If there are many competitors in a commodity market, this doesn't work because 'someone' will cut their prices, and profits will be reduced until competing entities can't compete or find an equilibrium.

You can generally find these oligarchic situations by looking at profits. If you're looking at an established industry of 3-7 players and they all have high margins and profits, that's usually a sign of implicit collusion because in any normal circumstances those margins would erode over time.
Loop is the right word for me. I’ll suddenly get stuck in a loop of subdividing a cube into smaller cubes over and over, or squaring a number over over. Never accurately, just…visually?

> You are limited in how long you can access their platform by how many hearts you have. Miss enough questions, your hearts run out. Run out of hearts, you're restricted from proceeding further in your studies. You must buy hearts to stay on their platform. This feels counter intuitive, as you are now kicking users off of your platform and lose the ability to sway them towards other things you have to offer.

Pro-tip: Hearts only exist in the app, not on the website.

As soon as they switched to the hearts system, I uninstalled the app and now exclusively use the mobile website. Considering their app is just a web view, the experience is essentially the same (you'll need connectivity at the start and end of a lesson), except no ads and no hearts!

As a plus, the website actually allows you to view the forum discussion on sentences, for example if your answer was wrong but you feel it should be correct, you can see what other people are saying about it. Why they don't offer this in the app is beyond me.

The decision to gate people's learning by restricting their number of attempts stupid. It's counter to the point of learning, but I guess they didn't feel they were getting enough revenue from just ads alone, so they have to kneecap the learning experience to force people into their over-priced monthly subscription.
I'm afraid the endgame is more akin to a specialized cell in a state-body. With apoptosis. It's just more competitive.
With the sort of growth expectations you have, get actual legal advice.

On the overall concept, consider that youtube-dl provides an unofficial (command-line) API to YouTube, and review the legal commentary in support of youtube-dl after its recent takedown at GitHub.

But what's key is not really the legal part (as
hyperpallium2 rightly pointed out) the terms of service and the risk of TikTok taking your company's oxygen away.
Even if powered by green energy, AC increases overall temperatures in a city (the heat has to go somewhere). Not global warming, but definitely makes it more miserable.

But be warned - it is still very rough around the edges, and still very much a work-in-progress. (I'm only working on it in my spare time as a side-project.) It's definitely not ready for prime time yet, and won't be for quite some time still.

That said, I do already have users. One of my users is using it to help him consume native Japanese content really early. He's learning Japanese since September of last year, and he started using my app a few months ago (probably a month or two ago; not sure, I'd have to check) and he's already reading some of the easier Japanese visual novels and web novels, and watching anime with only Japanese subtitles.

This - I personally believe - is the best way to learn a language: by immersion. So I always wanted to make an app that will short-circuit the process and will allow you to start consuming content a lot earlier that you'd ever be able to do using only traditional methods.
I am running a docker-compose setup with various services, only ever exposing ports so my reverse proxy on the same machine, which is not in a container, can hit them. The config explicitly specifies "127.0.0.1:external:internal". To my dismay, I can actually reach those external ports from the internet, even though I have some simple iptables rules to drop anything but 22, 80 and 443.

I never really liked the whole container idea, but this is ridiculous.

It took work because systemd (more precisely logind) solved real problems and so the work had to be done again for the sake of non-systemd distros.
The question is about redemptions with Tether Inc, not trading USDT for USD to other traders. Tether should be redeemable for dollars by redemption at Tether Inc, but of course it's not, since they only have 3% of the dollars required to fulfill those redemptions.
Suppose you sell 1 put for 1 dollar with a strike of 100 dollars. The worst case scenario is that the asset decreases in price to be worth 0 dollars. The buyer of the put then exercises their option to sell the asset to you for 100 dollars, hence in total you lost 99 dollars.

As a general matter, the most you can lose when selling a put is the strike price - premium.
Yes. But by default things should not be open to anything but your machine.

So let’s start blaming every piece of software that listens to localhost, but is exposed by docker.

Not a fan of mongo, but the defaults are way better than before.
