What you're saying is true for a tiny minority of use cases.

The vast majority of use cases are better off with variable resource availability. Unless you're doing something akin to mining cryptocurrency 24x7x365 most workloads are variable to some degree.

So maybe instead of one giant server that processes requests you use a single small server that is available 24x7x365. Then if your workload increases at 8 am you use an autoscaling group to spin up 3 more. Then at 5 pm it goes back down to 1. And maybe you have a batch process that kicks off at 2 am every night so you spin up 4 servers to process requests. This is just one example so it's important not to focus on it and respond with, "Well what about x!" AWS has many ways to fulfill the promise of accomplishing tasks with minimal resources.

And all of this is just a step on the path to serverless computing with things like Lambda and DynamoDB or serverless RDS.
No, it’s not hard to figure out what to do when the budget runs out. Preserve data and shut everything else down.

So switch off all VMs, but don’t delete the disks. Disable S3 read/write, but don’t delete the data. Etc…
Then the worst case scenario is the status quo.

But most situations that currently result in someone getting shot can be resolved less violently, as demonstrated by the lack of firearms carried or desired by the majority of UK cops.

I have Nexus, since getting it no more need to take my shoes off or take my laptop/tablet out of my carry-on. You practically get waved through security. Also, at the border in Canada & US, you effectively skip the line and use the Nexus machines allowing you faster entry into the country.
It would be great, if there were more documentation to get started with developing for the remarkable and perhaps a few shared libraries with commonly used functions, e.g. just to be able to display a given png. Even if it were just a command line program, it would enable many usages.

It is trivial to compile Go programs for the reMarkable - just compile with ARM as a the target architecture. One can do that on any machine with Go installed. But for the lack of APIs, I have had no idea yet where to reasonably start with programming the reMarkable.

The difference between modern and medieval people isn't physiological, it is just education. But since stupidity is unlimited, it will just pick up a new mantle and look a bit different.

Rules of public relation will make it increasingly difficult for any official to take a more relaxed stand. Fearful people are motivated people and will make themselves heard, no matter if their fears are justified or not.

One of the more interesting parallels I see is how injecting morality into the matter poisoned everything and ensured terrible policy decisions. How many people and politicians got effectively bullied into going along with the idiotic Iraq war because people on the right accused them of not caring about 9/11 victims?

9/11 victims, granny-killer, same side of a different coin.

Hysteria, paranoia, morality, a plan to keep people "safe" - beware of this dangerous pattern.
I don’t follow this advice at all and my dishes always come out perfectly clean. So it seems totally arbitrary to me. Or at least depends on which dishwasher you have.

“We had a chance in the beginning of this pandemic,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead on Covid-19, said Tuesday. “This pandemic did not need to be this bad.”

Like in February 2020 when the WHO was downplaying the risk on a daily basis? Do they think we don't remember? They are absolutely culpable. I distinctly remember Tedros preaching that "racism" (questions about China) was more dangerous than the virus. Look up the press conferences if you don't believe me.
Usage-relative, it seems reasonably ok to rely on service workers. Something like 96% of browsers-by-usage have access to them. And probably most of those few users who use an incompatible browser can switch to a compatible one.
Anecdotally, when talking with my advisor toward the end of college, I was essentially given the choice between choosing a career that's really meaningful (working on data mining for climate projects was the example) and pays less, or a career that pays more but doesn't mean as much. I chose the latter for now, but I still think about it often. Maybe I'll regret it in time.

But we aren't talking about a single centralised community. This is a part of the fediverse (decentralised) and where anyone can create a server to host their own community.

If the lemmy team wants to have their slur filter for their "official" instance, they are free to. However, part of being decentralised is to give people the power to run their communities as they see fit and so they shouldn't be beholden to the infallible lemmy devs to maintain a slur list that the community can't manage themselves. Maybe they want to add or remove slurs or remove this filtering entirely, it isn't the place of the lemmy devs to decide that for them.

> FINR has its own turf that the SEC can't touch

You’re thinking of something else. FINRA is a non-profit self-regulating organisation. It has no power over anyone who doesn’t voluntarily submit to its rules. It is not a part of the government.

The SEC was created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It regulates FINRA [1].

The regulator the SEC has constant turf battles with is the CFTC [2].

I think the thinly-vailed condescension over people who use a dishwasher is what rubs me the wrong way, as though using a more energy and time-efficient method to avoid a monotonous unnecessary task is a vice, or that hand-washing dishes is somehow promoting social harmony (in a way that isn't substitutable with a less pointless activity).
> Coinbase is not a bank and doesn’t have to play by these rules.

Which is why this whole thing is such bullshit.

Coinbase: Hey, SEC, we're just giving you a heads-up that we're going to start doing something that's not in your jurisdiction. It's a loan!

SEC: Oh, so you're doing banking?

Coinbase: Nope, we're not a bank, we don't have to follow banking regulations.

Scary shit. Sounds like they're pretty drunk with power. Does Australia really have a capable offensive security group like the NSA to pull these sorts of things off, though?

They do but the real question is whether its appropriate to source intelligence from a place like the NSA when the outcomes are meant to be used by the police.

When I was last traveling, the person in front of me asked TSA agent "Why do we have to take our shoes off?" He replied, "Have you heard of the shoe bomber?"

When I think about it, that's a crazy policy to have since it only happened once (and it didn't even work).

If we follow that sort of logic we should be wearing masks every time we fly. It's just a bizarre policy.

Yeah, this whole LPAR thing is supposed to make oversubscribing less of an issue, but in practical terms it is comparable to Xen PV without HVM mode (Essentially Vt-i without Vt-d). It's not that it never works, it's just that you have to take severe shortcuts and snowflake kernels to get it to work in the first place (so now you're incompatible with the body of knowledge that is the internet), and then you essentially just do multiproces CPU core sharing, memory sharing with swapping etc... not great.
Sure, if you changed the code of lightning then it would work differently. If you changed the code of the L1 chain it could work differently too. How are those guarantees different?

Calling it a promise makes it sound like there's counterparty risk and you're relying on them not changing the code. Changing the lightning code would have no effect on your funds locked into lightning using the old code.

> Coinbase's Lend program actually would be subject to other existing regulatory regimes.

How?

> For example, the lending of SEC-regulated securities like stocks is not regulated by the SEC, it is regulated by FINRA.

Cryptocurrencies are not generally securities, though some may be. To the extent this isn’t limited to securities, it would not be regulated by FINRA.

> their expectation was that the accounts would regulated by another entity, presumably the FDIC or FINRA.

FDIC doesn’t insure, and therefore regulate, cryptocurrency accounts. I’m reasonably certain Coinbase is aware of this fact. [0]

> The whole situation smells of a turf war between regulatory agencies,

Your choice doesn’t have to be permanent. It’s perfectly fine working for a few years in high paying jobs to build a cushion and then work on something that you find meaningful. Now the hard part is deciding when your cushion is big enough as it is very easy to always want more.
Putting the fate of our airline safety to the collective bravery of humanity seems like a bad idea to me. If I'm getting on a plane, I have no problems taking my shoes off and being scanned to have a better chance of a bad scenario not happening.

Why is it that people are always so quick to suggest (couples) therapy? Is it so unlikely that two adults can work something out between themselves, especially if they are in a marriage? Being married is essentially figuring out these mini conflicts, so you better be good at it. That's not to say that counseling cannot help, but it always seems like such an overreaction. Also: please don't take relationship advice from random strangers :)
Coinbase Says SEC Plans Enforcement Action over Crypto Lending Program
Hunh, given those numbers against costs-nothing feel-good questions, I actually came to the opposite conclusion, i.e. GenZ cares about other stuff way more like ya know jobs, housing, cost of living, etc. Instead of 25% giving lackluster priority to these broad climate goals I expected 75+%.

Am I "not getting it" ? Sorry...
> Despite all the caveats, dishwashers are not only the convenient answer to our modernist woes, they’re actually more energy- and water-efficient than hand washing. A full dishwasher can clean 144 items with roughly 13 litres of water, or anything between eight and 20. According to a study by the University of Bonn, hand washing the same load uses, on average, 100 litres of water.

I genuinely wonder how people get up to 100 litres of water, or if my intuition regarding nr. of items vs water volume is just that far off. Are we sure this isn't measured by comparing to people using a constantly running tap for this instead of filling up one sink for washing and one for rinsing? Because I was pretty shocked to discover that most of my friends use a constantly running tap while washing the dishes.

Fair. Terrorists have likely killed far fewer Americans with their actions.

We are not good at evaluating the less flashy risks to life. Wearing a seat belt saves a lot more lives than checking shoes at the airport, but we'll fight the seat belt a lot more.

Does it contain dirty dishes, or did the spouse run the dishwasher while you weren't paying attention? Now you're stacking dirty dishes in with the clean (sure, the dishwasher was full, but you found a spot). Or your one sample dish was rinsed, and looks clean, so you start stacking dirty dishes in the cupboard...

At our house, it's easier to just use a little magnet with clean/dirty on it to track dishwasher state. Or one can use the soap door suggestion above.

Yes, it's hard to keep track of which act was used to curtail what freedoms.

The Sedition Act was used to silence opposition to conscription and gave us the immortal quote of "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic."

Of course the 'fire' in that case was this letter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States#/medi...

Which seems like an extremely level headed question about conscription in the US given that involuntary servitude should only be a punishment for a crime.

This is an interesting thought: I buy an object and the NFT with it. Then I swap it and sell you a fake lookalike, and the NFT. Which one is the "original" object now? Who is the owner of the "valuable" object? Is it the person who holds the NFT, or the person who holds the original?

Most people would say it's the latter, but what makes an object valuable is not as clear-cut. Yes, a fake Picasso isn't as valuable as a real Picasso, but the NFT was (presumably) verifiably minted by the original artist, so maybe the NFT is the art, and the object is just something that comes with.
