I think this was a question floating about when companies were putting a lot of BTC on their balance books.

Elon Musk said they sold some Bitcoin to test the liquidity and it was fine. I believe they sold 10% of their BTC which came to about $1B without much of an issue.

Here is Musk’s tweet about it:

It may not have been all at once — whatever that means — or even over a day but it seems you could get it out over weeks or months. They made the sale between quarters so it was a max of 3 months.

Most money in the orderbooks is from HFT MMs, if you start selling on Binance the bids on Huobi/OKEx/etc will dissappear, most likely before you can buy (correction: sell) all.

If you want to sell this much you really do not do it on screen (and definitely not at once). You get a big OTC desk to sell in tranches.

Age and health are funny things, sometimes it slowly creeps along, other times it jumps.
At 20 my perspective of old age was different from when I was 30,40,50...

One concern as I get older is the whole aspect that you can reach a point of so much pain and limitations that life becomes a living torture, and with that - my appreciation of the need for legal euthanasia is something that my support grows with age.

After all, it's not worth worrying about death and I don't. What worries me is how I die. Dignity goes a long way and I sure don't want to husk out for days on end in so much pain and medication to combat the pain that I'm dribbling wreck unable to function. That's not my idea of life and I'd like to have that choice and whilst living wills have some carry, the limitations due to dated laws regarding euthanasia and ending ones life early are in need of revision.
I know my cheap home router stores logs. I'm pretty sure a commercial grade router would store logs for sure. Though this is not my background. So maybe someone that's a network admin knows more on what kind of routers they might use and how long the logs are typically stored.

You can be interested in immortality all you want but you will still die eventually. Even Jeff Bezos will die, I just don't see science solving this soon, or maybe ever. In fact in the long term the whole universe dies afaik.
Brought under control is NOT Covid Zero
Let’s say your state makes you vote in person. You’re handed a ballot and fraudulently vote multiple times, undetected by the busy poll workers. But, your multiple votes are detected later when the roll is scanned. The box containing your ballot is numbered, and workers need to manually find and remove your fraud.

Mail-in ballots are no different. A limited, known number are printed. The system prioritizes in-person ballots in case the mailed one is filled out under pressure. Some states forbid unique ballot tracking, using theoretically non-unique identifiers.

That information is on the outside of the envelope and is verified before the envelope is opened. In some states, the ballot is inside another envelope that is opened after the voter info is separated from the ballot.

I move between three countries but have to keep my account region to my family’s because of family sharing.

This is some pretty powerful stuff. Here's a more information-dense and up-to-date rundown of srcset and sizes: https://bitsofco.de/the-srcset-and-sizes-attributes/

Notably, it shows how it's possible to use different images based on a portrait or landscape layout of the viewport, which OP doesn't cover. That's not always useful but it's good to know it's there when you might want to use it.

I was recently (well, several months ago) tasked with improving the Google PageSpeed scores on mobile for a site which has a lot of image-heavy pages. The end solution involved adapting all images to use a <picture> image with a WebP alternative for browsers that can show it (Google's tools like it when you use their near-proprietary image format; go figure), plus using srcset and sizes (which can be used on <source> tags inside of <picture> tags as well as <img> tags) plus a script which resizes and caches resized versions of large images based on URL parameters (basically an ersatz Glide [0]; I wish I had known it existed when I started). The end result severely reduced page weight for mobile visitors and was successful in raising our PageSpeed scores and appeasing my client.

Having used various monadless-style implementations I think they're a mistake. The whole point of using a monad is because you want to explicitly sequence some (generally noncommutative) effect and be sure that refactoring won't change the behaviour (whereas if you reorder two `<-` lines then that is a behavioural change that you need to test). If you allow ! at arbitrary points in an expression then you end up with something more akin to checked exceptions where you know that an effect is happening somewhere but not what all the possible code paths are, and at that point you might as well just use side-effecting code.
The Meng Wanzhou case is an interesting parallel. She is a Chinese citizen who was arrested in Canada en route to Mexico for allegedly breaking American laws regarding Iran while in Hong Kong. No country comes even close to US when it comes to projecting power and having the power to bend the world to their will. It makes sense for another superpower to try to at least move in the direction of acquiring said power.
Slightly related, I have a bunch of domain names I don't necessarily need -- acquired in the same vein as in the article (jokes, failed/abandoned projects, ...) -- and would be interested in selling them somehow if possible. Is there any general advice for how one goes about this? Is it just parking pages and hoping someone stumbles across them? Or is there a more-specific marketplace or something of the like?

Entropy may win in the very end, but that's after trillions of years (unless we're in a Big Crunch or Big Rip universe), and asserts that no intelligence will ever find a way to circumvent it (see Clarke's First Law).

On a more relatable scale, humans do grow in complexity, order, and capability in their early years, until eventually decay turns the tide toward the end of our natural lifespans. It would be rather odd if it's physically impossible to re-activate those growth and healing mechanisms—much more likely that we just haven't figured out how yet.

Maricopa has already confirmed that their EMS didn't contain any routers whatsoever (https://recorder.maricopa.gov/justthefacts/#tabs=1).

The subpoena requested "all routers used in connection with the November 3, 2020 general election"; so I guess it could arguably cover routers outside of the EMS.

That said:

#1 It's unlikely that the AZ senate has the votes to hold the county in contempt at this point (the audit has only gotten less popular over time).

#2 They want to avoid handing them over for security / privacy reasons (they've mentioned a few times the sheriff's department has concerns -- nothing concrete but c'mon who among us would be happy to hand over a ton of info about an intranet we're in charge of).

To put this all in context: the county took a much more aggressive position against the audit after the audit twitter account accused them of deleting a DB file to hide evidence and the AZ senate was about to drag them into a hearing they planned to broadcast on OAN. In particular the county has done an incredible job of countering misinformation with facts on their twitter account.

I understand that you don't want people to buy it for investment. My point is that even buying a coin for transactions relies on having someone to sell it to later. Take an equilibrium in which everybody uses InflationCoin for transactions, paying the cost implicit in the inflation rate. Why would somebody not offer FixedCoin as an alternative, identical except for having lower inflation and hence a smaller cost? Why would FixedCoin usage not then spread to replace VanishingCoin?
Thanks for posting. No one on the pro-mask side reads scientific papers.

One night a few months ago, after two large beers I imagined up a domain name that was SO PERFECT that I HAD TO BUY IT and swore that this time, unlike all the others, I was TOTALLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

Can't remember how I first encountered your online presence, but I'm pretty sure I've followed you on Twitter for a while. Didn't realize you had joined Temporal. I've followed Temporal for a while, although I haven't yet had the chance to use it professionally. Still, I'm fairly convinced it's The Future, especially as it becomes obvious how to combine it with UX and data layer (right now, it's a bit unclear to me how much of UX state and permanent storage should live in Temporal). If I were building a green field business with automation at its core, I'd very strongly consider picking Temporal.
There are dozens. Right to privacy is one example. It’s not in the constitution but supported by the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the law. These decisions build on each other. For example, the right to an abortion is built on the right to privacy.
I agree with you. In a way, death can be viewed a kind of birth. In some cultures a well-liked persons passing is comparatively celebrated.

"currency" is measured in "market cap" now?
Weird. 3 years ago, on the 2nd and 3rd of August in a particular area in northwest Spain I pass by at times, there were 53ºC. It felt like inescapable death, and it was 100% relative humidity to boot, and residences usually don't have anything like AC installed by default.
The locals remember it well (just mention "those really hot days 3 years ago") and I remember the horror of seeing that number on the forecast and urban/house thermometers. And the bad luck to have to be there at that moment.

I wonder why it was not registered? In fact, the highest registered one is like 43ºC for that area, but I've been there other times with a "comfortable" 45 or more. Does it need the city hall to pursue registering? Can the city (a highly touristic one) ignore it to not scare away tourists? (there were like 2000 casualties just for two days, and "Death Valley but with humidity cranked up to 11" doesn't sound like a good slogan).
That said, since that summer temperatures went back to below 30-ish in that region, it was clearly a freak occurrence, but I wonder why it's not officially acknowledged.
It should also perhaps be noted that you can't sync to a Dropbox folder on an NTFS drive in Linux with the official client. You can however do this with Maestral.

They have never placed any value on engineering, have a founder leading the engineering effort who is a complete buffoon and pay 30-50% less than similar silicon valley enterprises. It's not really much of a mystery at all why they are down so much.
I object to the concept in its entirety.

Your feelings of "inadequacy" are there you to motivate you to get better at what you do.

If you label these feelings in a way that makes them seem like some sort of psychological ailment that needs cured .. you are just making life harder for yourself.

Of course, if you have reached your limit and can't get any better .. it makes sense to just accept that.

If you _can_ get better and you it, then these feelings will stay there as long as you are not working on improving yourself.
> By that logic any proprietary product that provides an interface with an open source tool is guilty.

In my view, the entire PaaS ecosystem modus operandi is building on top of open hardware & software, allowing and enticing people to move in easily (familiar tech/open source), and making locked-in products out of them. If that's not EEE I don't know what is.

Pro-maskers think that if they tell people they can fly it's others responsibility to prove that they can't fly.

The burden of proof is on the people claiming that something works.

Do you not understand how science works?

You're saying is 'conclusive' that masks work.

I'm saying you are disengenuouslty parroting media talking points and have to post a scientific paper to prove your claim.

Every paper you will find has flaws and contradiction and inconclusivities.

Texas lifted all Covid restrictions including masks and has lower infection rates per capita than states with mask mandates.

Clearly it's not conclusive.

You mean why didn't they go back in time and do it when it could have made a difference? Masks are ubiquitous now, and have been entirely politicized by the GOP. The abject refusal to assign blame to the most malicious administration in this country's history says a lot about many in this community.
Trump is the leader of your party. He is the one that had Meadows send Italian satellites to DOJ and all the other nonsense. He is the one that axed Barr after Barr said there was no evidence to support the crazy that Trump was spewing. He's the one purging people from your party that speak out against this insanity.

Your other whataboutisms are weak sauce compared with this. In particular the Cuomo one is not good for you, he's out, while your party continues to embrace the p**y grabber that has a higher harassment allegation count.

> I'm a Principal Engineer at a FAAMNG company

Since when one's employer becomes a secret?! And in fact, a principal engineer title in these corps mean vastly different skill and prestiges.

For example, a principal engineer in Google is usually treated as equivalent to a Google director. While a principal in Amazon is just a more senior engineer than a Senior engineer. Because there is no staff level at Amazon, while Google has staff and senior staff...

In msft, a principal probably means just a senior engineer in other places.
If Bitcoin crashes when any single person sells a billion dollars of bitcoin at once, then what is the true valuation of their ownings after the 'this is too large to cash out' problems take their cut? What is the true value of anyone's holdings?

This is often not a problem for fiat currencies, they have an entire financial sector dedicated to buying and selling a billion dollars at a time. They are slightly demanding from a regulatory perspective, relative to Bitcoin, but they also do usually try not to crash the currency and they do sometimes get it done.

So I consider that ability to cash out a billion dollars at once a direct spot-check measure of Bitcoin's financial maturity. If this is actually possible to transact at all, then it proves something competitive and positive about Bitcoin, even if it's as much about currency exchange and financial instrumentation businesses as it is the blockchain. I think it is unavoidable that we'll evaluate this through a real-world event, what with one of those exchanges having IPO'd recently. I'd just like it to be an intentional test rather than a surprise, from someone who isn't trying to destroy the world, but does require detailed financial records and a written declaration of insolvency in order to forgive payment.

The "for whatever reason" is those routers have never been part of any electoral certification process, aren't part of Trump's own election cybersecurity guidance, aren't considered attack vectors, and of course are completely irrelevant since you can just hand count the paper ballots which is what the county already did.

But you know .. "whatever" reason.
There were plenty of Russian soldier deaths and no one can care about those questions - the best that Russians can do in these situations is standing on their knees when facing their leadership and accept their mistakes as some deeper maneuver that will bring fruits in the future. Also, the answer to those questions of unhappy population has been given already - "It sunk".

The reason why Wagner exists is quite simple - primarily it vents out all the people who has not found their place in Russia(and prevents their use against those who are in power in Russia) and their main and primary reason to serve in Wagner is being killed in the name of Russia. They are not expected to get back - in Ukraine conflict Wagner people were bombed by Russian army, when they decided to go back. They are expendables from the day they signed up.

1.) There's a difference between suppressing civil liberty and breaking international sanctions. Meng Wanzhou and China dared the US to enforce its sanctions on Iran. They did. That's not at all equivalent to disappearing people who dare to criticize China or its communist dictatorship.
