Yes you can - you'd be a "Western Liberal", or "Liberal Scientist" or whatever else we want to name the philosophy of thought that began with the Enlightenment. And being a "leftist" in that is 100% consistent with that.

We tend to refer to "liberals" as people on the left but in general a liberal is anyone who is consistent with liberal beliefs which include a fair amount of "conservatism" as well. However, there's quite a few folks on the right that are as illiberal as the progressives are on the left.

I wish ben would do a little more research. Netflix imo very much is a tech company. they released an entire x.509 certificate orchestration framework. HBO and Disney to my knowledge havent released any devops tooling.

Helmuth von Moltke (1800–1891)

„No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy’s main strength.” - in original. Today, “no plan survives contact with the enemy” is the popular reconfiguration of this concept.

> Churchill said, “Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential,” while Eisenhower said, “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.”

my take is pretty clear and it is not what you describe.

but what is your take? that somebody sitting pretty at the top of the food chain will simply roll over and absorb the losses because it turns out a whole range of practices is unsustainable?

For link, read correlation, not connection. They can only show evidence of correlation with this design, not connection.

I think you're misunderstanding the nature of an independent variable. To be independent it has to be controlled by the experimenter. If an abusive relationship with cannabis was an independent variable, subjects would have to be assigned an abusive relationship with cannabis, which is obviously not practical. There must be such an intervention. Since they are only selected from the existing population, with no independent intervention, this is a survey, not an experiment. It is the difference between observational and experimental science, and this study is the former.
> There is also plenty of evidence of this in the raging debate surrounding transgender (specifically male to female) individuals and their physical advantages competing against non-transgender women.

Yes, this is a huge issue in progressive ideology that is trying to take a local maxima of least-resistance arguments.

There are solid arguments why M2F individuals are not problematic in sports, but "there are no differences" is not one of them. Better ones include, the inherent differences are much smaller after hormonal changes most m2f people undergo, or that elite tier athletics are already self-selecting for the most genetically extreme people anyways, further reducing the difference.

I’m confused by how at the very end of your comment you seemingly switch to only considering the tech stack of a company’s online ordering system, which seems to me to be always completely irrelevant to whether a company would be considered a “tech company.”
Will do thanks!.
The point is that progressives should stop being so afraid of accepting genetic differences, because they don't go against the type of policies most progressives are after. And because genetic differences are probably real, when progressives argue against racism etc. because "genetic differences don't exist" they actually hurt their position.

Policies that discriminate based on genetics are bad, not because genetic differences aren't real, but because they're a) inaccurate, especially compared to measuring the differences themselves, and b) usually immoral, because having good genetics is luck and doesn't make you deserve a better life. Chomsky (see above comment) probably does a better job explaining this.

A laptop is an exaggeration but the general point that if you reduce the hashrate say 10fold you'll still be processing exactly the same amount of transactions (after the difficulty adjusts at least) is true.
i think GP is referring to the signal protocol [0] as the underlying transport of the contents, which should be still true in WhatsApp. Feature parity with Signal app itself in terms of what is encrypted seems to have not been a focus of WhatsApp.

I generally agree with you here, since it seems like "tech" or "not tech" should be based on services actually provided (ie selling physical books online isn't really tech).

Except, many of these companies have a second, b2b service that they're cultivating as a goal unto itself: customer attribution, identification, aggregation, etc. Companies like goPuff (or Amazon, but Amazon has a hand in everything so is more complicated for this example) have a core "not really tech" service of online ordering of human-delivered goods, but they are actively working to turn all of those engagement/sales/preferences info into a packaged product they can sell to brands and marketing companies, which is at its core, data aggregation and analytics as a service...so "kinda tech"?
Will everyone get COVID? Likely, yes.

Will the vaccine limit the damage to the population as a WHOLE? Evidence says yes.

Your math is rather suspect; 1 in 5000 daily chance (giving you the benefit of the doubt since I can't read the paywalled article) means that if someone is at risk for a breakthrough infection for 10 days (that's a WAG, but seems plausible given how long it takes to clear the virus) that's a 1 in 500 chance, not your 1 in 7.

Does that chance increase as your immune system "forgets" the virus? Yup, that's how our immune system works.

So aside from your very... loose math, I'm not sure what your point is? Take that away and there's nothing to your comment.
The data on the safety of Ivermectin is very well established.
It's well-known to be very safe with pretty minimal side effects and extremely low serious side effect rates despite the billions of doses handed out over the past decades.

The real question is about its anti-viral properties. We know they exist, but don't know why or to what extent. Further, we don't know if they extend to COVID and we don't now if the effective dosage is high enough to increase the rates of side effects (especially bad ones).

The result is extremists on both sides saying wild garbage. Either it's the salvation of mankind hidden from you by the grand conspiracy or it's toxic horse dewormer that will certainly kill anyone who even approaches it.

This is a real problem. If I were researching Ivermectin and COVID, I'd be scared that loonies from one side or the other might attempt to hurt me or ruin my life over their delusions.

Nothing special about ProtonMail, except it seemed like an "easy choice" after reading the Surviving Surveillance Capitalism book a couple of years ago.

Everyone just needs to make their own decisions on privacy. I feel fairly comfortable with my practices. For me, it is the economic motivation of wanting to reduce the advantage companies I deal with have over me that convinced me to take extra precautions.
I'm envisioning a lot of dirty looks from paper cash-preferring shopkeepers to crypto tourists when the tourists buy up all shop's inventory and leave the shopkeeper with just a few numbers in some app.

EDIT: To be clear, I mean tourists each individually buying a normal amount of things using BTC, which adds up to the store exchanging it's inventory for a number in the app.
I don't think I would need to work very hard to show that this was paid endorsement.
> GCC doesn't do modern Objective-C, only what they got from NeXT days.

It's definitely a lot more than the NeXT days. GCC got fast enumeration, exceptions, garbage collection (if you really want it), synthesized properties, etc. These are the "Objective C 2.0" features which got released in 2007, back before Apple was shipping Clang.

GCC doesn't have ARC, array / dictionary literals, or other new features. But it's definitely a lot more than Objective C from the NeXT days. These are "modern" Objective C. They're also basically just sugar for the appropriate calls to +[NSArray arrayWithObjects:...] or -[retain] / -[release] etc.

What about companies that aren’t remotely profitable at all? Isn’t that a huge portion of notable tech companies?
Actually, they are not even using lighning wallets. They are using a centralized payment processor that has personal accounts for users, like any other payment app. This centralized processor happens to use lightning wallets in its backend, but there is no 1:1 mapping of payment_account:lightning_wallet. And since Lightning itself doesn't interact with the blockchain except when you open/close payment channels, there is no actual use of bitcoin in the whole scheme.

Which is of course to be expected, as the bitcoin network is entirely unable to process the transactions of a small rural town.

Basically, people in El Salvador will use a centralized payment app that happens to denominate prices in Bitcoin. It will be interesting to see how much this actually works with the extreme volatility of Bitcoin, but for a country that is apparently desperate to get foreign value into the country it may be the worse option, except for all the others.
Phosphorous is released from minerals by fungus in healthy soil. Tilling and chemical amendments, NPK fertilizers and biocides, kill fungus first.

If you learn about the soil food web you will learn that most things we dump on farmland are made available to plants by bacteria and fungi. Unfortunately, those are the things that we kill by farming the way we do.
Yea, best to troll on Twitter than fix your country that has the literal highest homicide rate in the world.

I think we have a large advantage in the CDN space, both in integration and efficiency.

In terms of efficiency, we've been serving at 100Gb/s (mostly TLS encrypted) from single socket servers since 2017, and are moving towards 400Gb/s today. How many other companies can say that?

I'm talking about the push to 400Gb/s at EuroBSDCon online, a week from Sunday..
Media publishers, broadcasters, or netcasters (as with YouTube) serve a number of critical roles. Among these are both audience and advertiser aggregation.

Audient aggregation matters because once on site, recommendations and discovery systems increase the likelihood of some other site content being viewed or accessed.

Advertiser appeal matters if advertising provides a significant portion of site revenues (and it virtually always does, for large-scale properties). Advertisers themselves seek audiences, with particular interest in both size and composition. As with audiences, there are cognitive and organisational costs to maintaining multiple relationships, so that advertising platforms tend to grow and monopolise over time. Small niche platforms are of very limited interest.

Both factors intersect with other elements, including site infrastructure development and maintenance, such that large sites have vastly superior economies of scale. This includes a lot of activities and benefits with low public visibility including moderation, abuse, legal, and general business overhead effects.

The overall result is a pronounced tendency to create large and durable media monopolies. New technologies may disrupt earlier established entities for a time. But the old structures have an exceedingly high likelihood of re-emerging. More pointedly, technologies of greater efficiency only amplify the tendency to form, and the size of, such monopolies.
What used to be called "tech" is now called "high tech".
Discourse is pointless if no action is ever taken. The arguments on both sides are centuries old at this point. This law is actively doing harm. The time for talk is over.

This! Having been down the home-rolled router rathole several times with PFSense etc, you often need a vastly more powerful generic CPU to match the performance of the dedicated NPUs in even entry-level dedicated networking gear, something I don't think people starting out at this often realize. This is why Ubiquiti and co get away with seemingly absurdly low RAM/CPU specs on devices like the Dream Machines etc.

I'd also remind anyone considering this that your family will probably not thank you for any outages you introduce to their browsing. My LAN is something that has to "just work" all the time and home-brew solutions will often require you to do more update/maintenance tasks than an off the shelf Mikrotik/Ubiquiti/<enterprise style vendor> solution.

You can still add neat features to your network like VPNs, PiHole, encrypted DNS, etc etc without replacing the core router or switch - I use a device much like this Banana Pi to run those services in some containers alongside my <enterprise style vendor> router/switch- I get all the cool new features I want; family get an internet connection that's always on and "just works" thanks to me not having to maintain the core router.

In Sweden you can get a prepaid phone number completely for free: Comviq literally gives away SIMs and to pre-pay you can still use cash. So from this point of view PM is not lying, not one bit.
Right, but that isn't because those on the right don't engage in this kind of behavior, it's just that consumers on the left are more successful at making these companies blink.

Dell takes in a $94 billion dollars in annual revenue across several lines of business and is the 4th biggest “tech” company by revenue after Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet. Facebook is 5th (“tech”?), then Intel, IBM, HP, Cisco.

Only half of that revenue is from “Dude you’re getting a Dell” - PC (and network / peripheral) sales. DellEMC (mostly enterprise storage or hyperconverged hardware and software) top line is $35 billion or so of that number. The rest is VMware and other software / services.

Simple order processing it is not, it’s like saying a Google is “just search and ads”. Somewhat true, but misses a lot.

Netflix is absolutely a tech company. Everyone wants to be "tech" because the valuation multiples are higher due to non-linear revenue potential per unit invested. That's pretty much what a "tech" company means today - the cost of acquiring user 1 might be millions, but user 2 is pennies. The only way to push those user n+1 costs so low is with heavy tech automation, which Netflix et al. has in spades.
> based on the assumption that they would be the clearinghouse for all video content

Unless they pivoted at lightning speed, I don't think this is true. When I saw the online subscriptions start for Netflix, I, some random person on the street, observed that the moment a white-box streaming service is created, all of the content-owners will have zero incentive to put their content on Netflix.

If I could think of this, then so could Netflix, and sure enough we started seeing netflix buying and producing content of their own pretty quickly.

Anecdotally, such conditions have been common in strains that have high amounts of THC, and not much CBD. Haze was a big thing in the UK for a long while, as was Skunk. Both strains have high THC and little to-no CBD and these strains would cause me to flip badly. My friend who swears to never touch it again after he tried once and had bad-trip. When compared to other strains with more CBD, I would obtain more of the beneficial effects.

And that it could also be linked to if the strain is Indica (in-da-couch) or Sativa with the same % of THC. Cannabis science an interesting field.

>First of all, with current parameters that would mean that you need a good few hundred years to process a few seconds of world-wide transactions.

Completely wrong. Go run a testnet yourself and you will see.

>And if the parameters were adjusted such that it would be that easy to mine blocks, bitcoin would become valueless, as everyone with a laptop could produce their own longest blockchain where they have half of all bitcoin.

The difficulty adjusts automatically. The energy usage comes only from the competition aspect - people are competing to earn blocks. You are lacking basic understanding of how PoW functions.
I think it's more like, there will be people sabotaging the transition at every step, using any misstep as an argument to not do make transition at all.

Ah got it. I support Protonmail because I believe in easy to use privacy tools for others like journalists, whistleblowers, and teachers. That's why I want Protonmail to be a leader in this space with clear marketing and communications.
Two people in my circle were taking IVM pre-pandemic to treat rosacea and lyme disease. This is not an obscure drug in the 1st world. It also doesn't need to be an anti-viral to work on covid - it's already a general anti-inflammatory. Inflammation of the lungs is why people can't breath and often die, and that inflammation is due to the body's own immune response, not the virus itself. The virus is gone by that point. But our standard protocol at first symptoms does not include treating potential inflammation, so by the time people get to hospital it's often too late. It's not good.
As someone who has servers with swap on NVMe; it barely matters. Sustained swap thrashing is a bad scenario no matter how you put it and it'll just tank performance. Get more RAM. SWAP I/O should never have any sustained background level, it should ideally only spike every few minutes or so and remain low level to zero otherwise.

SWAP on SSD or NVMe is still miles better than HDD, you can notice the difference when the swap is being used.
Some simple constructive criticism: I think you should find a more pleasing and modern color palette. The green and orange you’re using are, to my eye, quite ugly and distracting. A better color system will go a long way aesthetically and will make the site and UI feel more inviting.

> No, that is completely inaccurate.

> First of all, with current parameters that would mean that you need a good few hundred years to process a few seconds of world-wide transactions.

If you settle everything onchain, maybe (I haven't done the math on this, so I honestly don't know), but storing every transaction for a cup of coffee in a datastore that persists across tens of thousands of computers for the rest of time is absurd.

Long term Bitcoin layer 1 (onchain) is likely to be the settlement layer for large transactions, and other layers (lightning network, etc) will be used for every day activities like buying coffee, sending funds to a friend, etc.
Credit card transactions take 3 days to clear the visa network, but swiping your card to pay for something is still instant. These things have already been solved in the application layer.
I doubt the US government cares enough about this to do much of anything, and I'm not sure how importing more products would even work. Would Congress just buy a bunch of Salvadoran coffee beans?
Anyone who has used Netflix and HBO MAX (the best and worse streaming site, respectively, in terms of streaming tech) will beg to differ that Netflix is not a tech company...

Possibly, depending on background as you note, but not all promotion is intended at the same audience. When submitting to HN, "like jq, but for X" is short and conveys what it is to most the people that would care, I think. jq has been submitted and talked about here many times with lively discussion over the years.[1] At this point I think most those that are interested in what that is and what this is will understand fairly quickly from the title. Those that don't might be missed, or they might look it up like you, or they might see it through some other submission some other time with a different title which isn't based on a chain of references.
