At this point, crypto is just a rapidly maturing system for digital money. There may be no advantage of a centralized cryptocurrency in theory, but in practice there is. That's why Tether exists. USD wasn't up to the task. I'm sure all these exchanges would prefer to be using USD if they could.

It's like using PC architecture to power a calculator. Sure, it's not technically necessary. In practice, if you want to build yourself a calculator, you might use it just because it's there.
Food pleasure from taste is one of the most basic pleasure and so available to everybody and essential for your well being. The fact that immigrants continue to cook like where they are from for most of their life is a rebuttal to your statement. Food quality is of global importance, most problem with food production comes from disorganization and incentives or lack of it not from lack of production.
You could say the same for overeating, or drinking too much. Some people have no issue with overeating, but at least in America most people are too fat. ie, they cannot intake calories responsibly.
Interesting.

I’ve gone through so many iterations of trying to work out how to do something like this for Home Assistant config.

Do you set it up as realtime 2-way sync? And do you just exclude the .git folder from the sync to HA?
We have the hardware for it, but until we can complete certification, we can’t claim Thunderbolt compatibility.
I don't think it is about just not building in valleys.

There are two approaches to floods: one is to leave enough space for the river to meander, flood and soak into the ground. The other is to regulate the river - dig it deeper, more straight, build embankments, basically making it an effective drain pipe.

The second approach was popular in Europe because economy: it frees up valuable land (hence "building in valleys") and makes the river useful for things like transport.

But it has downsides: it destroys habitat and efficient drainage here means a flood elsewhere. And then when you have superefficient drainage everywhere, it becomes a problem for ground water levels.

So "don't build in valleys" is rather: don't over-regulate rivers to make buildable land.

SD cards work on Android 11, although I think it's because of the "scooped storage" change Google made, not because Syncthing fixed it. It works as if it was internal storage.

On Android 10 and older, Syncthing can only "read" form SD cards (read/write works if you're rooted).

I keep a backup of Syncthing configs and then re-use it. Config.xml can even be manually edited to fix directory paths.

~/.config/syncthing in Linux, the pem files and config.xml. Similarly in Windows too (from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Syncthing).
Even in Android, you can export and back-up. When you are switching to new device, copy from the back-up and then import.

No. If it starts to smoke, you commit & push --force, then you throw it away.

Hmmm, it's been a long time since I worked on Dependabot Core, but I think I can fix that one - we just need to special case `native-mt` as a version type (as opposed to applying standard Maven version comparison rules on it). I'll try and get a PR in today and will tag you.

Basically, just get it started and see what happens. Even on the days I really don't feel like working out, just doing the bare minimum to get started will usually get me doing the full thing.

And if I'm really not feeling it a few exercises in, I tell myself, alright, just go really hard on this next one and you can end early. Usually, I don't even end up quitting. Just take it in little steps.
This looks great, thanks
I agree, but it isn't a question of anyone trusting the central banks. There is no upside to trusting them, and they aren't fundamentally trustworthy.

The core of the issue here is that the legislative system and particularly the tax code assumes that the government has final say on who gets what money. With that fundamental perspective there is 0 advantage to a decentralised database over a centralised database. A decentralised database just makes it more difficult for the government to give/take/move money.
> it's actually a pretty good filter of employers for me

Thanks for reading! Our goal was to create an out of the box solution that didn't require on-going maintenance. Another goal was to make something that all engineers on the team would know how to use.

The amount of 1/2 broken prometheus/grafana setups we see is crazy.

From a feature perspective there is some overlap (ex pod/node CPU and memory). But we have features that you can't get from the solutions you mentioned (ex service latency, latency by URL path (coming soon!). And have a lot more in the roadmap too. :)

We are also housing and managing the data for our users.

We can surely do a lot more to mitigate the suffering that is mostly invisible to begin with.

But as long as there exists a right to decline drug treatment or behave unacceptably in shared housing, then go camp out in the main pedestrian thoroughfare, at least a few people are going to do it, and the city will feel like that kind of place.

Even in SF with a massive homeless population, it’s fewer than 10 faces I see over and over. I still want to help the thousands living in their cars, crashing on friends couches, or sleeping in out of the way places.

I'm in Canada so with a grain of salt. My house is 45y old, and it was a cheap house to begin with. All the maintenance is done, roof replaced, stucco redone, we've done renos, elec is up to code. However when you look at the yearly appraisal, the house value keeps dropping year by year. They add a little line here and there to keep into account the renos done in the last 5 years. The only thing that grows is land value, which more than makes up for the house.

I can totally see that were we not in a pressured market, value would go done; and America is not at a saturation point where land is a big concern as a rule.
During the run-up to the November elections, it was the democrat candidates who were against vaccines. Back then they were the "Trump vaccines", still under development. It's not unreasonable to assume that should Trump have won the elections it would be the democrats who would today (still) be against the "Trump vaccines". With his loss they became simply 'vaccines' and a great idea of the Biden administration with great plans for their distribution. I see no "batting of eyes" for this change of story. This provides an example of history being written by the victors.

1) Cryptocurrencies are mined decentrally. In this case, who will mine and how?

2) Crypto blockchains are secure by having many distributed miners. In this case, how will the blockchain be decentrally secured? (And if it will not be decentrally secured, then will it simply be a central database?)

Thanks.

There is not and will not be a central system. The CCP isn't going to abandon their currency for the US CBDC and vice versa. So building on top of an incumbent blockchain such as Ethereum would be more interoperable than the proprietary centralized USG CBDC. Though, having seen what has happened with chat, it isn't obvious that interoperability wins in the end versus a handful of walled gardens each hoping to prevail over all others.
How are you measuring that? If it's using the CDC measure of whether you have COVID, then many of the hospitalised and dead who "didn't have COVID" were merely vaccinated and therefore didn't count.

But you have to trust the central bank in order for the money to mean anything at all (unless you're proposing that the central bank would become unable to change the money supply, which is a much more drastic change to the status quo than is being proposed).

If I am the Central Bank of Hyrule and I point out to you three million rupees and you see them, you're confident in today's money supply, have no idea whether I'm about to mint another hundred million tomorrow. Your trust (or lack of trust) that I won't do so directly influences the value of rupees, that is, the exchange rate between rupees and other currencies (USD, ETH, whatever) or the purchasing power of rupees. If I do mint piles of rupees, the value of the rupee will crash, and it doesn't matter that you saw three million yesterday - they're not worth as much as they were.

If you know that I am unable to mint more rupees, then I'm not acting as a traditional central bank, I've just created an actual cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or something with a fixed supply.
Have you checked PhotoSync? does a pretty good job, although not sure it preserves things like slow mo videos, live photos or metadata…

So?

Trustlessness is, no doubt, a "hard" problem solved by crypto. But, just because something is theoretically trivial doesn't mean that it is in practice. Could you architect a "distributed database with more ceremony?" Sure. Will they? Maybe not.

I realize this is offensive to fans of bitcoin/crypto's technical achievement and monetary ideals, but that doesn't mean it's not operative.

It’s like COVID-19- there’s no use in pretending it doesn’t exist because I nor anyone I know well has had it.
I recently deactivated Facebook (which I only ever used via web browser) and since then I’ve been counting the number of times I unconsciously end up on the Facebook login page when I’m bored/killing time. I’ve noticed that faced with a “new tab” I’ll often just hit the f key and hit enter without thinking about it, landing me on the Facebook login page. Before I deactivated, this would result in me somewhat unconsciously scrolling through my newsfeed mindlessly consuming whatever Facebook decides I should see that day. I don’t consider myself to be mentally weak so it scares me to think about what percentage of the population does this without ever realizing it.
The solution is worse than the problem.

Wind turbines output grows with the size of the blade (it's squared). http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2011/ph240/parise1/ edit: When you take into account that the blade size increase means a higher tower (and thus higher wind speeds), the increase is more staggering, because wind speed is cubed in the final output:

> Combining the effects of height and blade length, doubling the height and doubling the blade length will result in an increase of power over 22 fold.

This is why companies try so hard to build bigger blades, higher.

Current blades are just massive https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/10382023/W...

The wingspan of a 747 is 68 meters. The newest GE turbine has a diameter of 220 meters, each blade is 107 meters. One blade is 50% longer than the whole wingspan of 747. You can fit 3x747 planes inside the area swept by a current turbine.

This is why Google's Makani project never took off...I really hoped for that project to succeed, it was very cool, but there is no way to compete with the bladed giants.

I don't think those examples are really applicable here. You don't use all 10000 words, but our brains are evolved to process language and you interact with language everyday. Riding a bike has you engaging in a physical activity which is also something that we're geared to remember.

Programming is already pretty unnatural and implementing binary searches and other basic algorithms is really only something you do constantly in the beginning. Over time that "muscle memory" will fade. It's also something that's easy enough to look up and understand in a couple minutes.
A tangent: Granola Shotgun is one of my favorite blogs and Johnny has a unique viewpoint on many issues like urbanism, homesteads, town planning, etc. A quote from him that summarizes his writing to me: "So this is what America is actually like.

The last time I actually wrote a binary search was in college in 1992. I still remember exactly how to do it... because it's really basic.
The upside is that I get to participate in the economy as it exists.
I like it as an exercise for understanding the CPU but is this stuff really useful in the real world - the example given is "optimised" away by GCC/clang without hacks. My guess is that if this is a good way to iterate over linked lists compilers would have optimised for this by now? Either through cleverness or hints added to your code.
For something running at 5-6W while idle, this is not a small difference.
Tax hate didn't really begin in it's current form till Reagan as a backlash to the Civil Rights Movement. When black Americans were excluded from the programs that taxes paid for, resistance was minimal.
Exactly. This is just more of the same. Only difference is that it gives governments more insight and control.

I'm not sure what kind of "blight" you are talking about, but the author was focused on real estate values for older locations being very low:

>The building had been on the market for a very long time with no bids. It eventually sold a few months ago for $65,000. For comparison, here’s a review of a $65,000 luxury 2021 Ram pickup truck.

Yeah, if you define "blight" as "I don't like how the place looks," then there are probably a lot of "extremely expensive" places that are "blighted." But I don't think that's what the author was talking about.

I finally realized it after wondering why I looked 'worse' in photos with friends, when the rear camera is being used to take the picture. That's when I did a rear v front photo comparison.
