I literally also did this two weeks ago, I repurposed an ASUS PN50 as a router. Luckily, I didn't have that much trouble and wound up refreshing my network chops a bit (using tcpdump to diagnose a dhcp server that wasn't doing what it was supposed to)... I'm considering releasing a video tut on it. My only complaint is that I think (could be wrong) download bandwidth is limited by the "upload bandwidth" on the ASUS' wifi adapter, since it's running in reverse.
It is an explanation. The article does not propose an alternative to the imbalance explanation rather alternative focus of action to achieve said intake balance. It doesn't even say the existing method of action of enough flat intake reduction as an answer to the imbalance explanation (this action is what the article actually finds flawed not the explanation) won't work just that it is ineffective for the same amount of effort.
That's one approach. Another is to tackle low hanging fruit.

What is lost if DeFi were more heavily regulated or outlawed? What is lost if shipping were more more heavily regulated / outlawed?

Ultimately we have to do many things, and solutions aren't mutually exclusive.
We're stuck with:

1. An incompetent government
2. An incompetent people [who refuse to vote these fuckers out]
3. Basically the worst MSM in existence
Such a strange example.

This kind of thinking, that the average person is a moron that shouldn't be allowed to think for themselves, is arrogant and ignorant in itself.
I recommend listening to this discussion/interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgRUujWZ__o

He talks about "too much regulation is choking the economy" guy, but he really means "lack of equity" (as in immigration is unnecessarily hard, building regulation is insane, etc), FAA regulation on supersonic flight currently hinders innovation (because it's not noise based but speed based).
Cash exists and can change hands without there being a record of transactions. At the lower end of the economy, many people are paid in cash and transact in cash, and as you've said, society hasn't imploded.

The government tends to go after lower and middle class people when enforcing laws. I think the benefits of preserving privacy outweigh the IRS collecting the $600 someone who makes $30k owes.
Because the OS is too complicated, imessage is a legacy app which is deeply embeded in the OS. And often the exploits are in things like the notifications but imessage is the easiest way to deliver the data to any ios user.

And people will flame me for this, but part of it is because the language iOS is written in allows these exploits to slip in easily and all over the place and the difficulty of stopping it is too great. There is a good reason Google has started migrating core components of Android to Rust and that the Google security team is pushing the effort for rust in Linux.

The surface area for bugs becomes so much smaller when you can have a compiler eliminate whole classes of bugs.

> At no other point in your life are you in forced proximity with random people within your age cohort

Maybe this is a shortcoming of our modern world outside of school, rather than a shortcoming of schools. I rather think it's a point in public school's favor that students attend the same classes, do the same work, and are judged according to the same standards as their peers regardless if their parents are well-off, middle-class, or poor. (That's the ideal, anyways. There are always exceptions.)

Having exposure to a wide swath of humanity at a young age is, I think, quite valuable. It's easier to hate people you've never met.
I don't have a horse in this race, but one difference between cash and monero is that the sheer physical size of cash can cause lots of problems for organized crime[1], to the point that some people advocate for eliminating the $100 bill to make moving large amounts of cash more burdensome [2]. As far as I am aware its irrelevant how much money you are moving in monero until you get up to transaction sizes that effect the price of other monero you hold.

This convo also doesn't address fairness. It never addresses fairness.

It is simply "you won't die without less money. Therefore, you must pay more".
>While there are some merits, this type of value exchange is a dangerous vehicle for facilitating human exploitation. We need to start talking about that fact more, instead of the fever dreams that those of us in the free world somehow live in some faux-totalitarian state, simply because you can't legally purchase MDMA or cocaine.

>stealing from us without due process via civil forfeiture

Yea, this is exactly the type of faux-totalitarian nonsense i was talking about in the other thread. If we live in a free society, we can change the types of laws we don't like, and in the case of civil forfeiture, we should, and are, but pretending like one bad law justifies something with these consequences is ridiculous.
You're claiming you can fly and asking me to prove that you can't fly? That's not how science works.

Very cool!

Just tried this out for fun on my 486DX2 PC ( https://i.imgur.com/NOeR1Ad.jpg ). It boots, but obviously the minimal kernel only has included support for a small set of hardware, which does not include serial mouse, S3 805 VGA (works, but graphical artifacts), and 3C509 ISA network card. Will have to try out the provided toolchain and scripts to try and see if I can rebuild with better hardware support for my 486. Why bother, you ask? Why not, I say!
I mostly agree with you -- but a more apt analogy would be if clerks could work from home and had the option of choosing their shifts in 20-30 minute slots and they could continue watching TV at home (or whatever) if they werent called...so basically a babysitter might be a better example. Should babysitters be paid for 40hr weeks just in case we need one in the middle of the week for 2hrs?

To be fair, an appropriate Uber setup here would also require that drivers know the destination beforehand and get compensated if the ride is cancelled and have the ability to decline rides.

The problem for both babysitters and uber drivers in low-usage areas is that there is NO economic model that allows for 40hr workweeks once population (or usage) declines sufficiently. All these gig models work very well in the city but totally break down as you go to rare use areas. A new model is required -- i'm not saying Uber is it, but Uber is closest.

Anyone who isnt in an urban environment, or who's landed at an airport at 2am knows this is a problem. We just need a way to fairly compensate people to solve it.

You're extrapolating the pandemic situation out to the rest of societies problems and rules and we just can't have a good discussion like that.

There are ways in which I agree with you about Australia's future and reducing freedoms, especially around technology and tracking. But the pandemic is not trivial, look at countries like India and America that essentially had it run free, that is a lot of death, and it wasn't just covid patients. A health system full of covid patients can't help anyone else either.

The thing is that we have a plan and a path out of this, and it relies on controlling outbreaks until we are all vaccinated. To make that happen, people have to quarantine for 14 days. People thought their happiness was more important than the community and the community disagrees so we had to enforce it.

The community also thinks you can't let rodents live in your restaurant kitchen, and that you can't drive while drunk, etc. Laws often protect the community from the selfish and that is what happened here too. We tried to let people be adults but they left the hotel and caused untold damage to the community, so now they get babysat.
This is not going to end well. I can already smell the biases such a model will have, and the lives cops will crush, using it's predictions as justification.
I suspect part of Tesla's plan is to build solar power facilities on the reservations, which would be great for the tribes if they can sell the power to the grid. (The tribes in NM and AZ have a tremendous solar resource.) Transmission lines would be the potential holdup with that plan though.
Tesla really loves and breathes thinking outside the box.

One day they’ll be an interesting case study in business school.

Check the mode of action of ivermectin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin#Mechanism_of_action). It blocks nerve and muscle chloride channels resulting in paralysis.

Firefox has less users than desktop Safari. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. When you factor in mobile it gets worse because Chrome (the Android default) and Safari (the only real choice on iOS) are so dominant.

Also, the market share numbers reported by client side trackers like StatsCounter are very close to log file collection and analysis by companies like Kinsta.

That the wealthy have many other avenues for exfiltrating money doesn't change the situation that crypto is an extremely effective method for doing that. A lot of people need as many channels for the exporting of wealth as they can get.

Iran's rulers might or might be oligarchs but the use of bitcoin by the Iranian state[1] seems like good evidence that crypto isn't just for the little guy.

I read Don Quixote as a teen, in Spanish, and reading this now makes me think I very definitely read an abridged version!

It was one of the novels behind René Girard's early development of his theory of mimetic desire+, in Deceit, Desire and the Novel ([0] is a review).

I'm fascinated that OP sees the book as offering subtle life advice, while Girard sees it as an analysis of an aspect of human nature we all share.

+as made famous by Peter Thiel... but there's much more to the theory than just a paradigm to build social media on.

The fact alone that FF is the best-optimized browser for uBlock Origin makes it an easy choice for me.

It's interesting to me that many of my favorite/most used web technologies in the past decade or so have come from individual, non-profit developers just trying to make something useful, free and flying in the face of a lot of legal and industry norms (e.g., gorhill, elbakyan). In my experience, these tend to work best on FF + VPN, or on Tor (built from FF).
FWIW - I’ve used both Cake Wallet and Edge Wallet on iOS and both work very well. Fast, cheap, reliable transactions.

Not really, as evidenced by the comments here. If you're a libertarian or fiscal conservative--a liberal capitalist--you can squeak by as long as you make obeisance on social issues. If you're a member of a protected class you may get a little more leeway. I'm basically a Democrat from 20 years ago and have to keep my head down at all times.

"Could anyone give me some insight about how to start an email service like MailChimp"

It will always be a dance. I own a small IT company in the UK and have always managed to run local SMTP. I've done it for about 22 years. I could not run a Mail Chimp.

For starters, I could not live with myself! I don't do spam. MailChimp is a spammer for hire by definition. Your idea of spam and mine may be different. OK: Unsolicited Bulk Email is the key phrase. At which point are you solicited or unsolicited? Opt out or opt in? Where do you get your lists and how do you monetize this beast? How do you vet your customers or do you even care? What standards of ethics do you ascribe to?

I could possibly create another MailChimp because I know rather a lot about SMTP and own a fair few IPv4s and could cycle them and I'm fairly IPv6 savvy so I'll use that to get some more mileage. I know DMARC/DKIM/SPF and all the rest and can play those little games to up the authenticity score.

Can't be arsed to spam the world. I prefer to host recipients than senders.
on a 486 or a pentium, i think it used to take longer before that.
Reminds me of 20 years ago, working with a fledgling "internet appliance software" company.. our existing software was on QNX and we wanted to transition it to Linux. I got a working system up with web browser, email, and chat (irc/jabber) up on a system with a 32MB Disk-On-Chip. Couldn't have done it without busybox! We used Qt Framebuffer instead of X Window... but same idea. :) Well done getting it to boot off a floppy!
It is great, but doesn’t iOS already have this with Safari?

The point here is to be able to run the tests without a database, and in this case they're probably right. Saying it's for the sake of purity of the test type is wrong, but you should mock out database calls in unit tests because you want them to run fast and without dependencies.

Move those tests to integration...

I think this is a fairly cynical, narrow take. There are a lot of schools and a lot of people in them doing more than a handfull of degrees.
What you say is mostly true, but in the case of sound recordings from before 1972, it's actually the opposite. At the time such recordings were made, they were subject to an infinite copyright term! The Music Modernization Act [1] passed in 2018 to put a finite life on those copyrights. As a result, all sound recordings from before 1923 become public domain this January.

I wish this distinction were more common, in general. We all have opinions that are bound to disagree with some people. We can also still make cool things that are a net-benefit.
They give two reasons that I think are much more than uh, we haven't said it's ok. One is people are getting sick and hospitalised for taking this stuff. The second is, it can have interactions with other medications people might be taking or conditions they might have. Also the stuff you have might be free of non-active ingredients with adverse risks for humans, but other formulations might well contain such ingredients.

Note that the FDA does not say don't take it if your doctor prescribes it, they just say in that case you should follow the directions precisely. The problem is the majority of people taking this stuff don't seem to be doing so under medical guidance. That's a serious issue they have a responsibility to address.
Interesting. It was fun to fly around a bit. Music was good. I wish there was a bit more story though and maybe some aliens :)

It must've been hard work.
Giving into the status quo is not going to change it. Free software projects aren't really free they make people sign up for nonfree platforms to collaborate.

The biggest projects are typically on IRC, mailing lists, and online forums. Linux, ffmpeg, practically every Linux or BSD distro, Git, nginx, postgresql, systemd, neovim, Freedesktop, etc.

Practically none of the software I use on a daily basis has a significant Discord presence.
> Just a quick note... Mixed in Key is no longer necessary as both Pioneer and Serato's DJ apps include this functionality in the base, free versions.

At least in Rekordbox (Pioneer), Mixed in Key is the only way to display both the actual key and the Camelot notation. This is useful for knowing which songs can be easily brought in sync using key/pitch adjustments in software. For example, 9A and 3A are not necessarily easy to mix together, but if you know that 9A is Em and 3A is B♭m, it's only a single half-step adjustment in Rekordbox to make the latter 10A, which is usually easy to mix into 9A.

Mixed in Key and the other tools that they provide can also do more than just identifying the key of a song. I wouldn't say it's essential for a beginner, but it justifies its price for someone who uses it professionally or even semi-professionally.

The current trend in Europe is even more transparency in the financial affairs of private customers.

>What I don't quite understand is why don't they just print a few more trillions?

Despite the ever frequent refrain of "governments aren't households, they can't default on debt,they can always print, the debt doesn't matter", the question you asked is the entire logical argument for proving this isn't the case. if they could do it, they would do it. The truth is there are a vast number of interrelated reasons that mean while although it is technically possible, in a majority of circumstances it is not on the table as people rightfully worry about a huge number of potential consequences some of which are obvious to casual observers and many of which are not.
> I think your parent comment is thinking about the world before privatization, where most resources are understood to be the collective property (and responsibility) of the community, and the community itself enforced rules intended to make sure that the resources were well managed.

Yeah, and I understand what we've got right now ain't that.

I think the two requirements for that kind of community governance are 1) relatively stable long-term relationships - ie, stakeholders are well known to each other and expect to bear the long-term costs of their decisions - and 2) relatively evenly distributed power, such that no one actor can ignore the will of the overall group.

Broadly, I think there are two changes in the modern world that put an end to that, both technological - 1) transportation technology increased to the point where it's no longer a given that people will effectively stay in one place for their entire lives, which affects both how people see their surroundings and what they can assume of others, and 2) mechanization increased both the scale of resource extraction we're capable of and the power disparity we can bring to bear if, say, the Crown agrees with us.

> That said, I think privatization was inevitable.

Broadly I agree. I'm not sure privatization as we have it was inevitable, but I think given technology progressing to even trains and rifles is sufficient to disrupt the social and psychological world in which most resources were held in common.

> I don't think it makes sense to long for the days where community management was possible, because that was probably always limited to rather local resources and not to handling global problems like climate change. (Maybe a "global community" is possible in some utopian future, but thinking about that doesn't seem like a way to solve the problems we have now.)

Part of why I push back on the idea of "the tragedy of the commons" is because it fosters a narrative of human beings as inescapably greedy and incapable of acting communally at any scale, and that's simply incorrect. I don't know what a "global community" would look like, but I think if we've any hope of achieving some kind of headway against climate change, we need more narratives encouraging us to be members of a community and fewer telling us we're "rational actors."
