The argument can be made that insider trading isn’t actually a bad thing as long as it’s legal, precisely because allowing that information to trickle into the markets destroys alpha. Anyone who thinks hedge funds aren’t constantly trading on insider information has their head in the sand.

Of course then you have problems where people with private information are incentivized to leak that information, which is bad for national security and other areas where secrecy is needed, but we already have laws protecting that information without adding insider trading to them.

It would need to be studied and to my knowledge no one has done that work yet, but I haven’t seen anyone establish why insider trading is a net bad for society, other than intuitive reasoning.
Likewise, what's the "benefit" of spreading the cables out by a few kilometers when space allows? If you zoom in you can see all the cables scrunched through the canal, but on more than one occasion they are fanned out to spread evenly across the given space. Likely it is only a visual eyecandy in the way this map was created, and not a true indication of the cable formations... but I tried looking for some answers on https://www.iscpc.org and gave up. I would assume once a suitable cable path is found, most subsequent cables would be laid right alongside for higher chance of success avoiding coral/trenches/etc.

edit: The more I look at the map, the more it becomes clear these lines do not indicate true cable locations. The lines are too perfect... even for fiber optics. The ocean floor is a treacherous beast!

I won't pretend I'm a computer genius or anything, but I feel like I understand tech at least more than the average Joe - at least, I'm the designated IT guy for computer problems faced by anyone I know.

The fact that, despite having it explained multiple times by multiple sources multiple ways, I still can't seem to wrap my head around how crypto functions... Makes me suspicious. It feels like the whole idea is to obfuscate it's functionality to the point it becomes this incomprehensible enigma - by design.

If it's not easy to comprehend, and instead a strange mystery number that moves between even stranger mystery-er numbers, someone is bound to think those numbers must be worth something - otherwise it wouldn't exist, right?

Basically what I'm saying is cryptocurrency sends me into an existential spiral of thoughts about how all value is just perceived and agreed upon and 90% of what we call "the economy" is just fake. Look up fractional reserve banking and join the existential crisis with me!
per another comment[0], it's cheaper to just stay in the water unless you specifically want to attach to a land network. I don't have the knowledge the other commenter seems to have, but that certainly seems believable to me.

Plato's Republic[0] specified rules to minimise corruption opportunities. That's what comes to mind anyway.

Excerpt from [0]:

Socrates points out the human tendency to be corrupted by power leads down the road to timocracy, oligarchy, democracy and tyranny. From this, he concludes that ruling should be left to philosophers, who are the most just and therefore least susceptible to corruption. This "good city" is depicted as being governed by philosopher-kings; disinterested persons who rule not for their personal enjoyment but for the good of the city-state (polis). The philosophers have seen the "Forms" and therefore know what is good. They understand the corrupting effect of greed and own no property and receive no salary. They also live in sober communism, eating and sleeping together.

Real art is what you agree in your mind is real art.

If you are trying to find something to filter out art that will not skyrocket in prices that's different. You need to find out what people are buying and only buy those. Each subgroup will be buying different types of art so research is required.

Anything is real art. A rock you brought in or a painting made by a computer. As long as you see it as art, special and perhaps get an emotion from it.

I'm completely fine with politicians being paid significantly more if them, their partners and their relatives faced serious prison time is they did the sort of insider trading that is considered completely normal and weirdly they're allowed to do but it's illegal if the lowly plebs do it.

End of the day these people are paid very little on paper for the amount of pressure and responsibility yet if you follow their finances they're all building fortunes. Same should apply to funneling money into charities/businesses/"programs" where their relatives are on the boards.

They're in such a privileged position I don't consider any of this unreasonable.

>applications can continue to do what they’ve done for nearly 30 years and rely on system title bars. This will work everywhere

This isn't true, some X11 window managers don't draw any title bars.

Anyway this isn't a problem if you link against GTK or libdecor. Yeah it's broken if you're trying to work against the system and do things in the inconsistent way that they were done in X11, so... don't do that?
You're missing the point, though. Count pre-human ancestors and that's no longer true.

It ceases to become a "doomsday" argument and more the (fairly obvious) idea that our species is likely to continue evolving to some extent, possibly to the point where we're something posthuman.
And what about non energy intensive crypto currencies that rely on PoS or PoH?
while i agree with you on some parts (ternary operators for example), i love the autoformatters for two reasons:

1. it makes it just plain easier to read others code. it's hard enough to have to grasp the logic behind everything, if they have wildly different formatting on top of that it gets substantially worse (incidentally, this was given as one of the reasons why go was such a success in the open source world).

2. i've been able to get a couple of archaic linter rules dropped, i.e. the brackets around single statement conditionals.

// for this reason brackets were mandatory
if (a == b)
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();

now with an auto formatters indentation fixes, this mistake becomes instantly obvious and thus a non-issue.
Because there's a diminishing return to collecting more and more money.

Believe it or not, most rich people stop trying so hard once they hit a certain level.

You actually answered your own question: it's antiquated because of the assumption it is possible to get contiguous RAM for that mapping. On modern Linux, that is only possible if you reserve it pre-boot.
We're only discussing meat labs right now due to work in the private sector over the past handful of years. Government has played no role in this. The government itself subsidizes factory farming, as noted in other comments, via subsidies. Why would we want to hand over full control when they've done no good in this area at all?

Our discussion here might simply be a proxy for the never-ending free market vs planned economy debate.

It's from selling books. What is your point?
I run Primerlabs(https://primerlabs.io) and it addresses some problems that learner face while completing the course.

For a long course on, say OCW or eDX, if you stop midway, and try to resume after a couple of months (for whatever reason), you will find that your memory about the topics covered is less. And videos or books aren't really good platform to review what you have learned. ( I wish there was an "Recap" button just like in Netflix series).

On Primer, learners have to respond forcefully which later on helps them review the courses easily. You can do some topics, quit for a while and retrace/recover using what you learned using flashcards and your own responses. It introduces "resumability" which other learning platforms lack.

I wrote a blog post on why Primer's conversational system is better, if you are interested to know more. https://primerlabs.io/comics/memory-breadcrumbs-comics/

For every other country, our DST is just some weirdness that they have to adapt to for no reason.
I wonder how China intends to enforce this ban. I assume they will be looking at power usage and breaking down doors but that really will only work for POW coins. So that leads me to wonder what they plan to do, technically speaking, to ban all crypto mining. Seems like a fruitless effort.
The U.S. Army Is Turning Robots into Team Players
It is enforceable at the citizen and institutional level. I know many decentralized cryptocurrency advocates tout the fact that no government can literally modify the blockchain. While accurate, that is not the point. Governments don't need to do that because they basically have free reign to enforce laws and regulations on its citizenry. Sure you can set up a miner in China, but if the authorities find out you're going to prison. The State might not be able to stop all mining, but they will definitely force it underground and make it a very risky thing to do. A total prevention of an activity is never the actual goal of a ban, the real goal is just to stop the vast majority of it from happening.

Its not about that. If its not easy or possible to exchange BTC for goods or fiat, it becomes a novelty. You can never kill crypto, but you can certainly make it so that it becomes like beanie babies or tulips, where only a minority of people feel it has any value in the current day.

Bottom of the line is always going to be if you can exchange crypto for goods. If most people feel that the crypto is worthless, the value will plunge and the buyer pool will as well.
Serbia isn't too important in terms of GDP, population, or military power. But a significant amount of EU trade passes through Serbia, and migrants from the Middle East use Serbia as a route to reach the EU. Since the EU has blocked Serbian accession largely over the Kosovo issue, both Russia and China are now trying to pull Serbia into their spheres of influence in order to gain more leverage over Europe.

The population of Serbia is generally pretty cynical about their government and doesn't believe the rhetoric. But they do believe in all sorts of conspiracy theories about manipulation by shadowy foreign powers.
Some points I think bear some clarification wrt current zfs state:

- current versions of zfs (ie: openzfs) error (unless forced) when adding non-redundant devices to a redundant pool, and have device removal to handle the case where someone bypasses the error.

- pools can grow in zfs (ie: the things one allocates storage out of). what is probably being referenced here is that one can't reshape a zraid vdev to add more disks to it (basically the reshape operation in classic raid setups). This does make expanding in some cases less flexible that old-style raid setups.

Also, I really have to agree that ARC behavior is still not great under load, and I don't think that's that much of an edge case.
I must be getting old because I just don't get NFT's. They look stupid and I don't get why anyone would buy them. Declining tech companies and startups seem to be trying to crowbar them into their products much like Blockchain when it was new and shiny. Perhaps younger me would of seen something I can't anymore.
You mean ENS?
Agreed. the CCP wants control and cryptocurrencies weaken that control.

Here here! I think we need to deeply reexamine how much we pay officials. Senators/Governors should probably get triple their current pay with severe penalties for any financial fraud.

This was one of the better Andrew Yang points too. Reps have very little financial incentive to do the "right thing" and we could help them realign that incentive by just paying them more.

> I pitched the idea of creating NFTs

How do these two statements go hand in hand?
Not going to say that no one lies about it but I had to transfer a sizable amount of money between two banks at about the same time I did a transaction from my home with BTC that took all but 20 minutes without the need for fax machines.

There are advantages to cryptocurrencies and one can very much want a future where currencies they would use isn't hampered by government.

>Well-written written arguments from users and developers is considered spam?

Yes. The bug tracker is not a place to have an argument. The correct place for that would be a mailing list.
I've actually (anecdotally) seen the opposite. Before, you could very accurately track your ROI on your ad spend. Now, it's much harder to do, so Facebook spend starts looking more like traditional marketing where the age old quote "Half of my advertising spend is wasted, I don't know which half" applies.

What does this mean? Some agencies and brands spend MORE because there's no clean data telling them their spend isn't working. They're just shooting in the dark. Over time, you can in aggregate tell which campaigns and ads work and which don't, but the iterations and experiments take longer and are more expensive.

I don't know how long that's sustainable. But traditional advertising has been doing that ruse for decades.
"...if you leave it turned ON".

I never see any discussion about the actual art behind the NFTs. When classic art pieces are sold as NFTs, someone else often still owns the actual art. NFT discussion is 100% about the price. The art is a convenient sideshow.

In fact, most of the hyper NFTs seem to come from series of generic artwork with variations in the 1000s or 10,000s. The goal isn’t to produce good art, it’s to produce a massive quantity of low-effort or algorithmically generated pieces so they can be sold and traded in volume.

I have feeling that everyone in and out of NFT communities are fully aware that this isn’t about the art at all. It’s about hype and trading and profit. The art just happens to be an excuse to mint new tokens now that the crypto coin market has been flooded with 1000s of altcoins for a decade.
The biggest issue in enforcement efforts is not that they can meddle, it's that they are "one of us". They are insiders of the system and other insiders don't want to arrest or prosecute them because there are ulterior motives. One is that if they start arresting and prosecuting insiders for something like this, that may remove the longstanding customs that protect themselves from similar things. There's also the idea of upholding the offices they hold. For example, complaints against judges are so secret that they will not disclose information related to them even if they contain exculpatory information and you subpoena them. Why? Because secrecy is necessary to preserve the public's trust in the system. If anything, that secrecy and reasoning should make any rational person question the integrity of the system. There are also plenty of stories of high profile politicians blatantly ignoring any number of laws and putting people in danger (driving violations are extremely common).

> Murder rose over 35 percent in cities with populations over 250,000 that reported full data. It also rose over 40 percent in cities 100,000 to 250,000, and around 25 percent in cities under 25,000.

The difference has been noticeable in my city. Murders within the city used to be kind of common, maybe two or so a month, but such crimes were non-existent in the suburbs. Lots of overdoses, but never murders. Now though, there are multiple murders per week within the city, and a few a month in some of the suburbs.

Scrolling through the local news is just painful. City or suburbs, kids or adults, the news is full of people killed. Stats back up that this is already the second deadliest year in the region, after last year.

And since this will come up. It's a mildly blue city in a very, very red state. We definitely did not defund the police, if anything, we upfunded them in response.

This is such a good idea - I had been thinking about many many different points in a single palace, which is a lot of work; this would make everything much more manageable.

Trading activity should be limited for federal employees at that level in a similar manner that trading is limited for bank employees and their families. They should be allowed to trade index funds, etfs, mutual funds etc, but perhaps not individual stocks.

Or perhaps there should be a bi-annual or quarterly trading period where they're allowed to trade individual stocks.

Should they be allowed to also trade derivatives (Options, futures etc)? I think so but with similar restrictions.

Perhaps also they should get a raise. Senators and house members make ~175,000. Having to pay for two houses/apartments. It seems a bit low for their relative importance. Perhaps a higher salary would mean they rely less on Wall St too
