I'm not really sure about that. If you have stats about the proportion of cryptocurrency/defi users actually selfhosted, i'm curious. On the other side, i've rarely encountered people in the selfhosting/privacy ecosystems who are interested in cryptocurrencies.

>First, the "price of money," is not set by markets if by "price of money" we mean interest rates. Interest rates are set by a central bank, which is a monopoly. ... It's determined by monopoly price setting.

The alternative is free banking and it is unlikely to work with a shared currency. Each bank would need to issue its own currency.

> Interest rates do not determine the return on savings.

Technically a high interest rate competes with investments for capital. It means someone is borrowing money at high interest and wants you to make enough room in the economy for that investment. The interest isn't the return, it's the compensation for the inconvenience of delaying spending. If the interest rate is higher than what solvent borrowers would pay then the interest rate on bank accounts directly competes with investments for capital. An investor getting 5% on a bank account will not spend the money on an investment that returns 4%. The absurdity of this choice is that if there are no borrowers at 5% interest no investments will actually be made. The investor is creating a hole in the economy for no reason.

You won't be able to tell the difference when you go picture frame shopping at IKEA, sure (you could probably even have an on-demand printer which generates art suited to your needs). But you won't be able to invite the AI for an interview about the meaning of its art either. I think someone feeding an AI with movie titles and arranging it in an interesting or meaningful way becomes an artist with the AI as their work material.

Just like chess AIs are the result of human work by the way. I don't know if there is a league of AI chess, but if there were, you'd always have the developer teams behind them who make strategic decisions on how to develop the AI. They become chess players of another kind but chess players nonetheless.

hey,

I just tried "apply for an agent", and after submitting the form there's a pop-up saying I'll receive an email with further steps. However, I never received such an email, nothing in the spam inbox either. I tried few times (my apologies), still the same... Just wondering if the form submission is working on your end? Thanks, and sorry for the spam from my side :)
I have quite the opposite experience. Owned a bunch of Apple hardware in a past decade, including for my 20-30 people company. Never experienced a defect. Things only ever broke because of major physical impact (and more often than not survived even pretty serious hits) or worn down after years of usage (mostly batteries died, though in some cases I’d subjectively expect them to last more than they did - especially in some iPhones).
I suspect that one of the reasons why ipv6 is being held back is because of people who hoard IPv4 addresses have an interest to gatekeep them so that they can rent them to you.

Can someone explain the huge net gain in conveinence you get from not carrying a wallet?

I know if I drop my wallet, the cards inside will still work. They won't be out-of-service-area or forgot to be charged.

The wallet also caters to many use cases the phone will never support. That can be high-tech stuff like some obscure closed-loop fare card or keycard system that isn't NFC-compatible, or the paper punch card from the local burrito place.

And it lets me carry cash, which is still less of a production number for plenty of informal payments-- I'm not walking through a Apple Pay/Zelle/PayPal transaction at a yard sale.

Maybe it's because I'm fat and wear loose fitting clothes-- having a wallet in my pocket is not a huge frustration.

I do not know what you mean by "multiple classes of numbers".

A firewall must block everything by default.

You add then exceptions for the protocols, hosts and ports that you want to allow.

Regardless whether you use IPv4 or IPV6, you have the same number of protocols, hosts and ports for which you must add rules.

The only disadvantage of IPv6 is that you should be more careful when you copy and paste the host addresses into rules, because the IPv6 addresses are longer and it might be more difficult to notice typing errors in them.

On the other hand, you no longer need to add NAT rules.

> Reality is messy.

I understand that in this era of "alternative facts" the view is not universally shared, but I do believe that reality contains objective truths if only we can get at them.
Either masks hinder the spread of germs (in the prior this has high probability based on logic and the experience of many years) or they don't.
We are down to four trials now instead of nine, and only three that count, since one was excluded by these authors for methodological shortcomings.
Don't blame it on "reality" that none of these was sufficiently large to establish the truth either way.
I'm not so sure. Running transactional-message-only (i.e. double opt-in, password resets) for a small site I own with DKIM and SPF on its own IP for years ... GMail will still block a large percentage of it.

Using SES with the exact same emails, Gmail will block significantly less. The large providers are whitelisted and unless you're as large, you're not going to get that privilege.

Granted, for $200m you should be large enough to bribe a few Google people to get into the club, but for anything where it reasonably might be profitable to run it yourself and employ a sysadmin, you won't be able to afford that.

Same here. After looking at the movie name, I can see the connection, but it's just not strong enough for me to identify the movie from the picture.

Not that this should matter in this context, and no idea how common or uncommon this particular "skill" is, but I can often identify a movie that I've seen years, even decades ago, by seeing just a few seconds of it. I guess this is a form of photographic memory. But, it's not only the raw snapshots, instead it's a mix of image quality, content and if I catch a glimpse of it, the story and characters too. Is there such a thing is "moving pictures memory"?

Edit: I did identify "Being John Malkovich (1999)"! Then again, his face appears in the picture.

I like this quote from Bertrand Russell

> Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions, since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but rather for the sake of the questions themselves; because these questions enlarge our conception of what is possible, enrich our intellectual imagination, and diminish the dogmatic assurance which closes the mind against speculation; but above all because, through the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.

That being said, it certainly not an argument to start a philosophy degree.

Personally, I see philosophy a bit like sport. You don't need a sport degree to practice it, and you can do it at any level and get some satisfaction out of it.

First of all I didn't say 'bedouins' are 'uncivilized'. Bedouins are not just about what we discuss here and they are not all violent, unlawful, or "robbers".

Second, I see very well where people are making the very much false IMO parallels.

You are comparing modern states to opportunistic self-serving shortsighted violent families. Yes, states used and use violence also, but, no, they did not evolve from the kind of behavior that we are talking about, if anything they evolved in opposition to this. "Parallels"? similarity? maybe in some broad sense, but the differences are Hugh.

There is no structure here, there is no idea of a shared identity, there is no law. There is just the extended family (tribe) an the opportunity and willingness to do harm to others for profit. And no, historically this is not where we all came from, and no, this was not how most states where formed, and no, this is not what taxes are about.

I feel like this is a tough question and decision to make. I've seen it in some of my own friends, especially those who find joy in programming and view it as a creative outlet. Some have even left the workforce for a few years before finding their way back.

Unfortunately, there is no advice from me about what to do next, career-wise. Maybe stick to the industry you know best but focus on work that isn't sole contributor? Write a book, join the online micro-blogging community? Interview for the next few months at startups until a job + team clicks where you don't have to code?

I personally struggle with this regularly. Having poor management, difficult hours or on-call rotations, and, especially, having shit work is very draining. It completely drains me from wanting to code in my own free time. But, I tackle this by taking 3-9 months off between jobs. Resetting, working on personal projects, traveling and visiting family/friends abroad. That can't work for everyone, though.

I'm currently really enjoying my job and the team, company are great. But I think when I need that break, I'll ask for a sabbatical or an unpaid leave of a few months. It will eventually get to that point where I cant go into work for a while but I would love to have a job waiting for me with people I enjoy and respect.

Assuming spherical customers in a vacuum...

McDonalds serves around 68 million customers per day (https://findanyanswer.com/how-many-customers-does-mcdonalds-...)

in around 39 000 restaurants (https://www.statista.com/statistics/219454/mcdonalds-restaur...)

Of those restaurants, around 9% have broken ice cream machines (https://as.nyu.edu/content/dam/nyu-as/psychology/documents/c...), meaning there are around 61.88 million customers who had the opportunity to order a McFlurry.

I wasn't able to find good data on what percentage of customers order a McFlurry, but the linked article says they make 60% of dessert sales. I'm going to make a wild guess at this point that 50% of customers order a dessert of some description.

That means about 34 million people ordered a dessert, about 20 million McFlurries and 10 million other desserts.

Of those people, 3 million were not able to order a McFlurry because the machine was broken, so let's remove those 3 million from the total.

31 million people, 20 million McFlurries.

Assumption then would be that on average, around 1/3 of customers will order a McFlurry in a random restaurant (50% x 66%).

68 million customers across 39 000 restaurants is around 1 700 customers per restaurant per day, of which around 570 will order a McFlurry.

A regular McFlurry costs $2.39 (https://www.fastfoodmenuprices.com/mcdonalds-prices/), so a restaurant takes around $1 350 from selling McFlurries.

Taylor have a helpful calculator on their website (https://taylornewengland.com/sales/soft-serve-ice-cream-prof...), with likely optimistic estimates and don't show any wastage, but we're ballparking anyway. They say that food cost + napkin + cone comes to around $0.29, meaning daily profit from ice cream would be around $1 200.

Conclusion, it's pretty unlikely the difference is on the 'orders of magnitude' scale.

As a side note, given that the cost of a new machine is around $18 000 (https://www.wired.com/story/they-hacked-mcdonalds-ice-cream-...), after 15 days of the machine being out of order, the cost in lost sales is as much as buying a new machine (lower by whatever the Taylor callout fee is).

Given that 9% of 365 is around 33 (more than double the cost of a new machine), it seems that the more cost-effective solution would probably be to have a second, standby machine, from which McFlurries could be served while waiting for the callout.
Yup. Last year I bought Apple Watch and it left China in next day.
