Perhaps "white" is not a group people should identify with.

"Black" is meaningful in the US because it represents a distinct group of people who have a common culture, not because they have dark skin. The thousands of ethnic groups that live in subsaharan Africa aren't "black" in this cultural sense. Black Americans are a uniquely American ethnic group that was formed from broadly west African stock (i.e., various ethnic and tribal groups in that part of the continent). This is not to deny the racial characteristics, only that ethnicity, while it tracks race, is not strictly racial.

Capital W "White", on the other hand, is not an ethnic group. The history of this term is a rather strange one. The US used to be a patchwork of ethnic European neighborhoods. Only later was the label "white" imposed on them over time, especially as they lost their ethnic character through assimilation. But because this imposed identity isn't a real ethnic identity, it doesn't really have any substance. So the content of that identity is supplied by whoever controls the meaning of that label. And because those who control it have determined that "white" means "racist", you will have adopted the identity of "racist". So what do you do? You take on that identity and then either do penance for how bad you are or you double down and "own" your supposed racism. Or you renounce or reject whiteness as your identity. Frankly, because it's not a real identity, the last option is the best it seems, but then what are you?

In the US, once assimilation happens, your only remaining identity is religious identity; American identity itself is vacuous. Religious identity functions as a kind of substitute for ethnic identity (though I would argue not entirely). Even if you don't believe the faith of your ancestors, your cultural upbringing can still reflect that history in some way (this reminds me of how someone in Ireland might have asked "Yes, we know you're an atheist, but are you a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist?"; absurd in that religious identity is more fundamental than cultural identity, but still provides insight). Now with the waning of religious identity, American identity crises are flaring up again. This is a crisis of identity. This is why ideologies and subculture are attractive to people: they're (very mediocre) substitutes for ethnic and religious identity.

We are in the middle of a religious war, a war for the soul of a society. Secular liberalism, itself a religion, has been demonstrated to be unworkable, not least because the very pluralism it purports to celebrate is its executioner. No social order tolerates a true pluralism of religion because then these other religions would not be subject to the constraints of the religion of the social order which is impractical. Here, liberal tolerance constrains the scope of valid religions according to its own norms. This liberalism lasted as long as it did because there was at least a very broad religious consensus which is now finished, but even then the situation was tense. Gutted of this consensus, the collapse of a hollow worldview is accelerated. Motus in fine velocior.
The real problem with Youtube towards children isn't the videos explicitly labeled for 18+ though - it never has been.

It's the videos that are specifically geared towards showing up on underage feeds that are. I don't know about you but I'd much rather catch my child watching an R rated movie than them watching a video that is targetting them explicity while using creepy and inappropriate imagery.

Children aren't stupid, they're well aware that there are entire sections of society and human activity that are the exclusive domain of adults and it's completely healthy for them to be curious about that great mystery. The problem is when other adults pray on that natural curiousity for their own malicious motivations.
The VISA transaction is effectively how most people will transact with dollars.

If you're seriously unsure about how much more energy Bitcoin uses than cash, when I last did the math, Bitcoin mining consumed more energy than the entire US Mint by a few orders of magnitude. It's not even close.
I'm curious which part you consider reductionist. Also, American milk chocolate proper tastes like vomit to some Europeans/Aussies due to the butyric acid formed during the lipolysis phase of the milk fats. It's exactly that which gives American chocolate its unique (vomit-like) flavor.

Anecdotal, but I couldn't believe it when I heard people hated our chocolate, and asked my decidedly non-snobby English buds and my (non-American) fiancé, and they confirmed it tastes off to them, albeit palatable. However, Hershey's Kisses were a no-go for the fiancé.
Re: Keynesian v. Austrian let me ask you this.
As the money supply increased 25% last year why isn't everything 25% more expensive? As the M2 supply increased 15X since 1970 why are things only 7X more expensive?

The idea inflation is supply side only is trivially falsifiable is it not?

If the treasury minted a trillion dollar coin and gave it to me, then I threw it into a vault and never touched it the supply went up but prices stayed flat. Supply alone isn't a complete picture, obviously - what people do with that supply matters too. So what am I missing?

> The problem with hard rules is there's numerous exceptions when it doesnt make sense to follow, invalidating the "rule" all together

But rules aren't invalidated by exceptions ? The only thing that matters is, trying to follow the rule to the best of your abilities when it gives you enough benefit.

In the end what matters is each independent situation - the rules are only guidelines to get started.

FFS this was understood decades ago with the ISO 9001 revamp where they sanctuarized that obtaining quality products wasn't most efficiently achieved by following bullet point lists religiously, and even then it was already common sense.
Does that 148 kWh also consider the energy spent on running the offices, energy spend on commute for VISA employees and all the other things that keep this system working ?
I see a lot of potential in pipeline concurrency, as seen in dataflow (DF) and flow-based programming (FBP). That is, modeling computation as pipelines where one component sends data to the next component via message passing. As long as there is enough data it will be possible for multiple components in the chain to work concurrently.

The benefits are that no other synchronization is needed than the data sent between processes, and race conditions are ruled out as long as only one process is allowed to process a data item at a time (this is the rule in FBP).

The main blockers I think is that it requires quite a rethink of the architecture of software. I see this rethink happening in larger, especially distributed systems, which are modeled a lot around these principles already, using systems such as Kafka and message queues to communicate, which more or less forces people to model computations around the data flow.

I think the same could happen inside monolithic applications too, with the right tooling. The concurrency primitives in Go are superbly suited to this in my experience, given that you work with the right paradigm, which I've been writing about before [1, 2], and started making a micro-unframework for [3] (though the latter one will be possible to make so much nicer after we get generics in Go).

But then, I also think there are some lessons to be learned about the right granularity for processes and data in the pipeline. Due to the overhead of message passing, it will not make sense performance-wise to use dataflow for the very finest-grain data.

Perhaps this in a sense parallels what we see with distributed computing, where there is a certain breaking point before which it isn't really worth it to go with distributed computing, because of all the overhead, both performance-wise and complexity-wise.

Okay, evil shower thought: why not actively start abusing this on a massive scale, claim as many copyrights as you can automatically so Google has to address this? If they don't do anything, you put the 'stolen' revenue in a fund for uploaders to access again.

Worst case, nothing happens, and video uploaders still get a payout, best case Google is forced to make some changes.

The interesting thing about China now is that they have been actively destroying their remnants of ancient culture to try to speed economic development.

As a consequence their culture is converging somewhat towards the cultural revolution which is only about 70 years old. So they are a young political culture in that regards, and politics dominates due to its military force.

I totally agree on documentation and navigation. I wrote a lot about that in the Miki doc itself!

On the nav, there simply isn't room on a mobile device for a full menu down the side, so Wiki.js (on which Miki is built) draws a hamburger menu at the bottom.

Since you were visiting our sales site, all the links are about sales. The Users Guide page doesn't have separate nav down the side but it is navigable in that all the sections there are clickable and go to their own deep pages.

I hope you'll give us another look (maybe on desktop!) and see if Miki can meet your needs. If there's a better way to present the nav on mobile, we're certainly open to it.

Sorry about your problems. I hope things get better for you soon. Good on you for buying a house. Don't get married or you'll eventually lose it.

Just a bit of personal thoughts on parent's love. I think it's valuable when you're a child, then when you're an adult, you only need to remember the feeling. You don't need the actual parents anymore. Everyone's parents eventually die and can no longer love them. Perhaps you didn't get it while you were a child and still crave it? There's ways to recreate that feeling without needing your parents. It's harder and it's unfair, but it puts you in control. Nobody else will ever care about you as much as yourself, so don't rely on anyone's love.

Conservatives in government don't believe in climate change and liberals in government say they believe in it right up until they actually have to do anything. The common pattern is that they're all in their 60s, 70s, and 80s and will be dead before the most dire consequences arrive.
No, but neither does the 1200 kWh for Bitcoin also consider that energy. Bitcoin won't obviate the need for mortgage loan officers to decide whether or not to loan someone a million dollars(' worth of bitcoin) to buy a house, nor will it eliminate or even reduce military spending. So please stop insisting that you tally that up on the side of fiat, because that means you're no longer comparing apples and oranges.

If this was true billion $ industries just ended. The stock market would collapse.

What they are really doing is amazing. But it's all a while off yet.
The article points out that we cannot attribute this event to climate change. Fair point. It also points out that these heat waves are more likely given climate change. Fair point.

Unfortunately, there is no depth to the article. What would I like to see? First, describe what caused the heatwave. Second, describe how much more likely these heatwaves are with climate change. Third, describe how climate change will impact the severity of these heatwaves.

Even though climate models are different from weather models, I am guessing they provide enough information to provide estimates. These estimates would provide people with more concrete examples of what we can expect if we don't alter our behaviour.

He can still leverage the bitcoin, he may be holding and not selling but that doesn't mean he isn't borrowing against the bitcoin and using the borrowed cash to make growth investments.
Most old people, yes. Most young people don't care about climate change (regardless of what they say) because doing something about it will affect them.
The inflation is still very low and practically 0 in short term and buying/selling property doesn't take that long actually. People don't buy and sell all the time when they need money, they use financial instruments(property ownership unlocks lots of great financial instruments). Nobody is buying BTC against inflation, it's simply too volatile. You can't know when Musk will tweet what, central banks and property laws and taxes on the other hand are slow moving and predictable.
For a transaction like that up to now, you'd need someone you both trust to hold the payment in escrow until the transaction clears. Crypto automates the job of the trusted third party because you can both audit the code and predict what will happen.
> If you injected spike protein directly, it could end up anywhere. I don't know if this has been tested in humans yet

Isn't that what the Novavax vaccine does? I'm not a medicine expert by any means, but my understanding from press reports was that they inject the spike protein directly (possibly attached to some substrate protein to carry it along).

Going to need you to thoroughly substantiate Tether doing QE. I've looked into this and see nothing other than circumstantial evidence.

That said, I fully expect Tether to implode in the next year or so.
That chart switched from ice core to volcano data in 1958 which is why there is the sudden huge shift. Also, an active volcano is an interesting place to do CO2 observations given that volcanoes may well be the largest natural CO2 emitters on the planet. In any event I virtually never see any intelligent discussion of the subject, just cherry-picked data followed by disparaging anyone who might merely express doubt, let alone disagreement. That may well be effective for establishing partial consensus, but it’s not a particularly good way to increase knowledge and understanding.

Edit: Responses like child’s being a case in point. Anyone that opens with “So…” and follows up with a straw man or even a complete non sequitur such as in this case is not contributing to the satisfaction of intellectual curiosity.

Edit: As for CO2 sensors mine has been sitting in the mid 300s for the decade I’ve had it.
Not quite. Being short is borrowing Crypto, selling into USD (or something else) and having an obligation to return the borrowed Crypto position at some point (agreed or not) in the future. Returning a borrowed position in a subsequently forked chain which is no longer economically valuable could be incredibly profitable.

It is of course entirely possible the collateral held by the counter-party securing the borrow is seized in such a scenario (legitimately or not).

The word, maybe. The cheese, not. You can't make feta that tastes like feta outside of Greece.

And you haven't eaten all those "identical cheeses" or you'd know they're not identical. Although I suppose you may just have a very poor sense of taste.

Edit: No, really, I straight up don't believe you that you've tried different cheeses around the Balkans. Maybe you tried one or two, but not the way you make it sound, like you tasted a great variety and found them all the same. First because that's absurd -even if all those cheeses were similar in taste they wouldn't be identical, because that's not how cheese works. And second because you've already made up a whole bunch of stuff in this conversation, like all that nonsense about lobbying. You're clearly trying to "wing" it. So I don't believe what you say.

Every language has undefined or unexpected behaviors.

Tether themselves said the coin is 3% backed by dollars, so it's 97% QE. The burden of proof isn't on me, it's on Tether. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof - they claim to have $60B of assets and to be the 7th largest player in the global commercial paper space, right behind Vanguard. They refuse to substantiate their claims with an audit. Not to mention they're 11 people on various non-extradition-treaty islands nobody in the commercial paper space has ever heard of. And Paolo appears to be doing interviews from his mom's basement.
Yeah, and almost certainly not true.

> These usually have a bit of a nationalist bend since the implication is that the local chili heavy cuisine has been unchanged for millennia.

Why do we have the need to claim that our cultures have been unchanged for millenia? Almost none have, human culture is remarkably adaptive and changing, and every time two cultures meet they change each other, adopt each others food and music etc -- and why wouldn't they?

These days almost all humans/cultures are insisting that their "authentic" culture is unchanged for millenia though. I don't know if it's always been that way (see what I did there haha). I think it's actually a very right-wing sort of thing, harkening back to an imaginary "authentic" past when things were, uh, great.

It's effecting our very understanding of culture, we all think that "real" culture is unchanging forever -- which is not how humans work at all! Or that in some distant past, all culture existed entirely silo'd without interacting or influencing each other, merging with each other and splitting off from each other -- also not how hardly any actually existing human populations have existed through time!

The orange part in the long term chart confused me, it looks like as if that's not real. But it looks scary. Do we know what caused co2 dropping from 300ppm to 200ppm previously? There seems to be a pattern where it goes up and then back down...
Yeah! The entire desktop Linux software library is available and that has a lot of really good, community maintained software.
I am sure a reasonable person and educated computer programming person will be able to avoid these traps, by adhering to certain standards. However, you often have that other person on your team, who does not care about being careful and writes code like it is to be once written and never touched again. And that's where the danger creeps in.

That is more of my impression that I have gathered from watching programming languages evolving. Rust is a good example, where they tried hard and the macros still become unsound. Scala is another good example where macros where unsound first and they had a really hard time to make them sound and work with the type-system - they lost a lot of power in the process.

Now, that doesn't have to mean that there is some inherential that stops the combination from super powerful macros and sound statical types from working together, but if anything, there is at least a compromise to be made in terms of resources, because it seems you would have to put a lot of effort into it.

> The code generated by macros would be type-checked in the scheme I described, and type-unsafe code can't be executed by the macro itself

Well, I would already consider this to be quite a big restriction though.

> That's the problem, isn't it? Bitcoin "longs" are very unlikely to profit from a 51% attack, since its success would destroy the speculative value of the currency they hold.

It’s not about the holders, though. It’s about what the miners decide is best for them. Currently, higher BTC means more profits, but what happens if/when there are proposals to change BTC in ways that make it more eco-friendly? This is where we’d see miners flexing their power over the blockchain.

It’s also not hard to imagine scenarios where the chain forks for whatever reason and the miners go to war trying to discredit or destroy the other fork.
