This is way overblown. It's not backstabbing or lying to change your mind.

The founders probably had the intent to stay independent, they changed their minds.

The employees got a salary to work on a mass email product. Now they are continuing to do the same.

This is just normal business, not a shift in principles.

If they were working at a public green energy foundation dedicated to open source science, and then were bought by Exxon and everything privatized, then this would be a different story.

I'll bet most employees don't really care that much as long as they keep their jobs and working conditions.

Over the course of ~5 years I went from BMI=32 and completely inactive to BMI=23 (~15% body fat) and ironman/ultramarathon fit.

I do realise that the weight loss aspect is not applicable to your case. Still, I hope that some of what I learned might prove useful to you or someone else reading this:

1. Try a bunch of active pursuits to see what you like. I find that only things that I really enjoy tend to stick, and discovering what you enjoy requires trial and error.

2. Start slow and gradually build from that. For example, to get into running, start by walking, then walking faster/farther, then jogging and so on. Partly to avoid injury, partly to only make small changes (next point).

3. Don't make any sudden, dramatic changes to your lifestyle. Instead, make lots of small tweaks over an extended period of time. I find that this is much more likely to stick and, if some changes don't stick, no biggie. This applies in lots of contexts: for example, I went from lots of sugar in my coffee to no sugar. The process was so gradual as to be almost unnoticeable; now the whole idea of having sugar in my coffee just doesn't appeal. Given that I drink lots of coffee, this makes a big difference to calorie intake with no negative impact on enjoyment.

4. What you eat is very important to the overall health. For me, simply learning about nutrition was half the battle. Now that I understand nutritional effects of what I eat, I can make better decisions: either reject stuff that's bad and has no redeeming qualities (e.g. trans fats) or at least have some idea of the enjoyment-vs-unhealthiness curve and have the freedom to pick my own operating point on that curve. My diet is now pretty balanced (not without certain excesses, but hey), I LOVE the taste and texture of what I eat (lots of fresh veggies etc) and feel that I have sufficient energy to support pretty arduous exercise.

5. For me, doing something active every single day is very important for keeping the momentum going. Some days it's just a walk around a local park, but even that makes me feel better and clears the mind.

6. For me, the ability to disconnect from work is important. If I don't, this often disrupts my sleep (next point). To this end, I operate as an extreme segmenter (two laptops and two phones: one for work and one personal). I never look at anything work-related when I'm not working (business hours on a weekday).

7. Sufficient, high-quality sleep. I think individual needs vary, but I go to bed at about the same time every night, have eight hours of generally high-quality sleep and wake up naturally (no alarm). It probably helps that I'm a morning person, and absolutely love being up bright and early. I imagine if I weren't, I'd probably have a similar stable routine, only shifted by some number of hours.

And if you interrupt the cycle at any point and vent 10% of the participating carbon to the atmosphere, you are going to have a massive spike at that particular point in time.

If that spike further prevents the cycle from continuing (because the Sequoia can no longer grow in sufficient time scales) then you suddenly have a net release that will not be recaptured.

Which is, of course, exactly the point of the article: keeping the carbon trapped in the cycle is the sink.

I don't know your intent, but this seems like a deliberate framing of a technical truth in a particular light in order to downplay consequences. If this isn't your intent; great! But if it is, it's not a responsible way to foster discourse.

We should all exercise maximal humility in dealing with climate change because we are dealing with incredibly complex systems with truly catastrophic implications of making the wrong choice. We need to engage with each other as constructively as possible to any chance of minimizing the harm.
I thought this was cute. I (mostly?) “get” git. At least all of what was shown was formerly known to me.

I would have added a section about how keeping the commit numbers straight is a a pain and then demonstrated how we could just index them with a hash (md5sum or similar).

I thought about sharing this tutorial(?) with some of my “git is kinda fuzzy” colleagues, but I realized that they often seem fuzzy in the basic file tree navigation layers and this expose’ relies on a good degree of comfort with “file ops”.

I find that less experienced developers are often less than strong when it comes to basic “file ops” now days. I blame IDEs, black box build tools, etc.

To be exact, it depends on the generation of hardware. At leat for Intel and AMD, the first version tend to have more shaders, then they switch to ASICs. Intel actually open sourced the shaders that they use.

The problem is, when pretty much anyone brings up Bitcoin's issues , they've got an axe to grind. So I find it totally valid to bring up any and all bigger, worse, and longer historied comparisons to highlight that complaining about Bitcoin is quite petty; a mosquito bite for a cancer patient.

Bitcoin is still new and poorly understood by a significant percentage of the population and therefore hasn't become part of everyone's "lifestyle to which they've become accustomed" yet, so it's automatically viewed more harshly. The comparisons are, in fact, necessary for the appropriate judgemental context.
I don't feel I am being rude or dismissive. I have nothing negative to say about this project or its results. I just find the idea of calling a relatively simple bit of lighting "masterful" very strange. It'd be a bit like someone looking at something I have written, like a serialization routine, and saying that my use of bitshifting and masking was "masterful". That kind of thing is very basic for the domain.

Yeah. Apple Music let me consolidate my personal library and make it available everywhere (albeit in a crappy fashion, it keeps downloading MP3s as AACs then cannot play them).

You can pick and choose when to use NVC. I wouldn’t use it for a disagreement about what restaurant to go to. I would use it for a disagreement about money, sex, politics, etc.

The more emotionally charged and existential the disagreement the more useful I’ve found NVC in avoiding those “real” conversations that turn into fights.

Not saying it’s the only way. Some people are totally able to speak plainly with a sharp edge and then reconcile after.
I don't really get what you are saying, but the calculation for CO2 emissions per block is basically this:

reward_per_block * price = value_per_block

cost_per_hash * avg_hashes_to_find_block = cost_per_block

cost_per_hash is the cost of electricity and mining hardware .
If value_per_block > cost_per_block, mining is profitable and more miners will join the network, increasing avg_hashes_to_find_block, until value_per_block == cost_per_block.

co2_emissions = avg_hashes_to_find_block * co2_per_hash.

So the emissions are a function of the price of bitcoin and the price of (electricity + mining hardware).
I agree that what the enemy intends for evil, God invariably transforms into good.
It is probably a bundle of all three, but "duty of good faith" fits the best here.

"The duty to act in good faith is an obligation not only to make decisions free from self-interest, but also free of any interest that diverts the control persons from acting in the best interest of the company."

Do at least some short&easy workouts and gradually-very gradually raise the bar. Your goal is to find and carefully grow a joy in yourself of doing exercises b/c of having healthy body. Just listen to your body while doing workouts and in 1-2 weeks time you'll see a slight hint of improvements - catch it and babysit it into a habit of regular exercising. If you can keep it for 2 month, you can keep it forever.

Proper nutrition is a huge topic by itself... There are few simple rules thought: If you don't have specific conditions (consult your doctor) than just try to eat a little bit less energy than you spend, try to get used to occasional hunger (calories deficit is generally helpful for a well-being). Also prefer a food with a low glycemic index (google that term if it's new for you).

FDA hasn't approved any IVM for treatment of COVID19. NIH has a website listing 16 studies, the majority of which says IVM doesn't help at all.

CDC has a webpage pointing to the FDA / NIH web-pages.

------

As far as I can tell, "IVM doesn't work vs COVID19" is the official stance of US health research institutes. There are further studies because the politics of it kinda demand a study, but no one expects the studies to have a good result. (Nothing like monoclonal antibodies, which are being used to save lives right now).

This isn't a "we don't know" stance. FDA is very explicit to not use IVM for COVID19.

As a related sidenote: Try doing an apt install metasploit inside a "VM" while an antivirus is running on the host.

You'll soon realize that the "VM" will be bricked by quarantine actions on the NTFS based filesystem, which kind of defeats the reason of the V in VM.

I fear once more people realize this, there'll be NTFS stream based "hidden" malware and other filesystem rights abusing tools everywhere all over again.

This is the written word so you can attribute any tone you’d like. What happens if you try reading it in a compassionate tone? Or a curious tone?
shotguns do have more stopping power than your average handgun, but your other points are not really true. even with no choke, the spread from a shotgun at home defense ranges is negligible. you still have to point it directly at the target, though this is a bit easier with a longer firearm. ammo you would choose for defense against humans (ie, buckshot) will easily penetrate one or more walls in a typical dwelling.

the short barrel and relatively low power of a handgun does make it an inherently compromised platform. but the short barrel does have one big advantage: it is much harder for an adversary to take control of the weapon at close range. soldiers sometimes transition to their pistol when clearing structures for this reason, although this is less common now with short-barreled rifles.

but at the end of the day, the "best firearm for home defense" is the one you know how to operate and feel most comfortable using. if they train frequently, you should absolutely take them seriously.

DAI satisfies that, is is pegged to the dollar by a smart contract that issues loans, expands, and contracts the DAI supply to keep the peg. It is not backed by real dollars*. It's not untraceable, same as Bitcoin, but that's been solved by things like Monero. I bet the two concepts are compatible.

*It is backed by traditional crypto, in addition to USDC and other stablecoins which are in turn backed by real dollars, so it's partially backed by dollars.

Allegations or evidence?
By that same logic, why does Australia, or any other nation allied with the US for that matter, even need its own armed forces?

Australia is a sovereign nation, not a client of the United States. It is free to engage in its own foreign policy and should logically want some safeguard in case its relationship with the US should ever sour.

Even if the relationship stays strong and the US makes defending Australia its top priority in a war, the US and its vast military might is on the other side of the planet - it would take many weeks to move ships to where they are needed. It is sensible for US allies to maintain forces dedicated to their own defense which are strong enough to hold out for the cavalry to arrive. A fleet of Australian nuclear subs may very well be the difference between America reinforcing a free Australia and America liberating an occupied Australia.

The big three CC companies process around 1.3 billion transactions per day, while Bitcoin processes around 250 thousand transactions per day. That's 5200x more transactions, and you claim they're less efficient than Bitcoin. So... those three companies use >5000x as much electricity as Argentina? (Bitcoin currently uses 150 TWh/year, 5200x that is about 30x global electricity generation FYI).

(This is obviously not quite apples for apples, since you'd also have to account for VISA & Co. likely employing more people than Bitcoin, on the other hand, Bitcoin also requires absurd amounts of throw-away hardware.)

Sure, but school meal programs are a fairly important social safety net thing for poor and/or neglected kids. Anything that messes with those is a serious quality-of-life threat for the most vulnerable kids.

You can see this in the design of public school meals: they're very concerned with pushing calories, because some kids won't eat much else that day.

[EDIT] this is also why schools offer breakfast programs for poor students, which I assume are similarly affected by these shortages.
Some things yes, some things no. I suspect many people realize there are no local producers for a lot of things (I don't think North Dakota has a lot of Coconut production), and seasonality is also important (not a lot of apples are grown in January in New York).

Including externalities would be an interesting path. I don't know what that would realistically look like though. Gas tax?

I completely disagree. Equity ownership in private companies can be a fantastic thing, and create tremendous wealth, even with no contemplated liquidity event.

It's harder than it looks. My own photos of my sites/finds have rarely turned out interesting either. Usually things are simply an unremarkable pile of stones, unidentifiable blobs, or far too massive for the camera.

Man I'm not not worried so much about malicious state or corporate actors getting my biometrics. I'm worried about the incompetent ones (which is all of them). Those are the guys who collect biometric data, store it, and then lose it. Like my social once my face is out there I can't get it back. I know that nobody is going to make a copy of my beautiful face to get access to my iphone, but more about the future when biometrics are used to let us into -- for instance -- a cloud provider's platform[0]. At that point there's no physical device to bypass it's just a question of sending the right bits to a server. Then my biometrics are defeated and I won't be able to reset them.
