> But it fails to appreciate the gigantic black box that is our metabolism.

Metabolism isn’t really a black box. Millions of years of evolution have made us quite good at absorbing nutrients from food and using them conservatively.

Our bodies won’t ignore ingested calories or burn excess calories for no good reason. If the body can absorb the nutrients, it will. If the body doesn’t have to burn calories to continue existing, it won’t.

Evolutionarily, it wouldn’t make sense for our systems to evolve features that discard ingested calories or burn calories without good reason. Food wasn’t plentiful for the vast majority of our evolution.

What actually happens is the person’s behavior changes: Many people adopt exercise programs but then eat more calories. Or they reduce caloric input but then spend more time resting. Or they cook smaller meals but eat more snacks and treats (which often go unreported in self-reported caloric intake studies)

But there isn’t a condition where everything stays the same but the body suddenly decides it needs fewer calories to accomplish the same goals. That would imply the body has various degrees of inefficiency that can change over time, which isn’t really true.

Almost every other facet of the law rests somewhat on 'common sense' and what 'reasonable people would do'

I don't see why the laws couldn't be like that, but I take your point.
You talk like that because you're a front web developer and that's your bread and butter. There are tons of other areas (even in computer science) where you are out of your bubble and you know nothing about.

Similarly, there are people who don't work on websites, writing javascript, in fact they think they think those people are dumb monkeys who can't even make their stuff work on all browsers.

They don't care about latest features, in fact they prefer browser being a dumb tool to view websites not a replacement for an OS.
Insider information is notoriously difficult to identify and prosecute, so while this is an important aspect, I dont think it is a complete solution. We would have to understand what the SEC baseline is for catching insider trades.

The easiest and most robust solution is a blind trust.
If we use votes as a proxy for helpfulness, I'd argue most were "validated" by the community for helpfulness.

Securities are defined under 15 USC 77b(a)(1)

(1) The term “security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.
The fomo is real tho.

Everyone imagines "just imagine if I invested when BTC was < $100 just a few years ago. I could be sailing near my own island now.

And with everyone from celebrities to investors constantly promoting it, it is hard not to jump on the craze.

All "doom and gloom" has bounced off the market. I am still expecting a massive crash, but to be honest, if I invested a few years ago I would be sitting at 3-20x my investment.

It is insanely profitable.

Thats the fun part of all this :)
I imagine it could actually develop into a similar situation for physical art. There is an original work that is worth a lot because humans are weird like that, and an entire industry of experts who try to sort out the actual original NFT that was minted by the artist over the duplicates and fakes.

For example, we know the original creator of Nyan Cat came out of the woodwork to retroactively mint an NFT for it, https://foundation.app/@NyanCat/nyan-cat-219, which sold for 300 ETH. Obviously, anyone can create an NFT with the same gif, but we are reasonably certain that the actual created this ONE and declared it be the original.

Obviously, this is a very odd thing to try to wrap your head around, but is it really that different from valuing original physical artwork?
I was surprised by how many lines seem to just run along the coasts of land. Is it really cheaper to lay and maintain fiber in the ocean then over land along the coast?

I am glad Apple is pushing for USB-C, otherwise we'd still have so many devices coming out with USB-A
The critique is more about the fact that it'll stripe across any two devices in the pool.

So in an 8+4+2+2 setup, you could run into serious trouble after only losing the two 2Tb drives (which are likely the oldest and flakiest two in a bodged-together-from-leftovers style array).

I do agree that this is still strictly better than not being able to do it at all so long as you understand the risks, but being able to do RAID1 over 8+(4+2+2) would be even nicer for a bunch of uses and I've yet to figure out how to do that.

I've not seen Gordon Linoff, but usually when I have some sort of question about PostgreSQL minutia, I find that Erwin Brandstetter (https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/939860/erwin-brandstett...) usually has posted very detailed and solid answers when it comes to Stack Overflow.

I have to say, I'm usually not searching Stack Overflow specifically when I'm looking for information, I'm usually in a general search engine that happens to show me StackOverflow answers. But the high frequency that I see and am in fact aided by Erwin Brandstetter's posting of good answers is certainly worthy of a call out here. My thanks to Erwin!

"Base demand"

I get that this is working econ theory, but is that even meaningful? Do you honestly think people hold dollars because "someone can use it to.pay taxes"?
You need to understand these are not only technical answers to technical questions, but also highly valuable ones because people must indicate that they "like" the answer.

Most even good answers get very little rep so the answers have to be pretty good to get that amount of rep on average.

Lol, ok then. You keep stacking dollars, euros, rmb, NFTs, dog tokens, and ill keep stacking (bitcoin) sats. We can compare relative results in 10 years, ok?
Under-appreciated comment. The reduction of friction always wins in consumer services.

Interesting stat - the estimate is that this year 1.4 trillion photos will be taken.

In 2012 it was estimated that 3.4 trillion pictures had been taken in the previous 174 years.

A good idea in theory, but I believe phase 2 of our flawless and perfectly thought out Brexit execution plan is to sever all of those cables to prevent unwanted "foreign" bits from coming in and taking up British bandwidth.

We're then going to individually renegotiate brand new communication transport/protocols with each foreign nation separately. On far better terms, over the next 20-25 years.

I think the current plan is to use a different breed of carrier pigeon for each country so that we can tell where the data is coming from and where to send our responses back to.
Why do you make the assumption that he does this on company time?
This is something our industry needs to fix. I've turned down promotions so many times because they amounted to moving from coding to pastoral care. Which is bizarre - it's like a surgeon being offered a promotion to work in HR.

Many companies do have an individual contributor track, and that's a big factor in where I choose to work, but way too many companies seem to think it's all kinda the same thing.

(To be clear: none of this is neglecting the importance of, or talent involved in, managing people. Bringing out people's potential requires tremendous skill, which I don't have, and that's why I won't do it.)
No, I am saying they don't have the resources to produce phones which are competitive with iPhones on performance. And in the rare cases where a big vendor is able to achieve it, then they inevitably take advantage of that monopolistic position to drop consumer-friendly features like removable batteries, just like Apple. I am saying there is not enough competition at the highest level of performance for market forces to be able to work there.

When you're trying to make a point about how often they change things, it doesn't make sense to list two variants that came out at the same time.

Also micro and micro 3.0 came out a year and a half apart, so that's even less reason to count them as different iterations.

At least constitutionally, in the Czech Republic, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms (https://www.usoud.cz/fileadmin/user_upload/ustavni_soud_www/...) does not prohibit forced labour of prisoners -- this is one of the explicit exemptions to forced labour prohibition. Of course the exemption talks about "labour imposed in accordance with law", and I don't know off the top of my head what are the legal details of this.

> Running software from your distro's repos?

An important distinction to make: open-source software has a high chance of not being malicious. It doesn’t make them safe, especially with the overwhelming majority of them being C all the way down. A single bug (of which they are not absent at all) can introduce security implications depending on their usecase. Eg a firefox bug can easily make your device running untrusted code without any other remaining defense on your device.

So open-source is orthogonal to security.
The problem is that .NET has been taken over by web developers, and they expect the kind of breakneck pace of change and half-baked tools that the Javascript ecosystem has become accustomed to.

> If the hard work of diet and exercise results in feeling more sluggish and sleeping more,

Most people will feel more energetic after improving their diets and adding physical activity.

If someone is feeling too drained to function or is suffering from their plan, they’re either working out too much for their current fitness level or they’ve restricted calories too much.

It’s more important to focus on small, sustainable changes. The people who try to go from couch potato to CrossFit hero or who try 1000-Calorie restrictive diets are the people who burn out and give up. The people who start by walking 10 minutes per day and slowly increase their activity or who begin by cutting out 50 calories per day are the ones who see long-term progress.
Finally, someone is taking action against this insanity.
You can't solve structural economic problems with monetary policy. That's how you get (hyper)inflation, and that story's been born out dozens of times across history.

The solution to real productivity declines is real productivity increases, and the incentive to reallocate your resources into the most productive activities is lacking when the cost of capital is effectively nil and the central bank bails out any misallocation.

I think we are in agreement. I was responding to the comment that stated "BTRFS delivers „classic“ RAID1 and more/better.", which is what I am disagreeing with. Requiring that mount options be changed whenever there is a drive failure (despite having sufficient redundancy) is definitely an anti-feature in my book.

Unless you're doing awaits in a tight loop of thousands/millions of calls, the overhead of the state machine is almost non-existent, which leads to the next question, what are you doing that requires await in a tight loop of that many calls? The whole point of await is to use it to yield a thread while waiting on a long running operation, if your await returns nearly instantly then use the synchronous version and avoid the overhead.
I have always imagined China to have more sophisticated tools for monitoring financial flows than Soviet Russia. Crypto (at least Bitcoin) isn't all that anonymous, nor outside CCP control so long as there are exchanges and miners located inside China. For instance, there were (probably unfounded) fears that the CCP could control Bitcoin by proxy if more than 50% of the hash rate was owned by Chinese miners.

I suspect the recent crackdown is more related to a fear of uncontrolled capital flight due to regulatory changes and anticipated slowdown of the economy.
> I have a DSLR and I now don't bring it along anymore. I have three kids, so I already have to carry around a lot of stuff and children, so there is no more room or energy for my DSLR. My phone is always in my pocket though.

I also have kids, and no phone without seamless, automatic cloud backups and the ability to transparently take "Live Photos"[0] is at all interesting to me now. I don't care how good the stills are, if it doesn't have those two things.

[0] Live Photos are a feature of Apple phones where it captures a few seconds of video before and after you snapped a photo, including sound. Tap and hold on the photo to play the video. They're basically magic, especially if you have kids. Like the moving photos in Harry Potter. They also make photos with waterfalls in them really cool instead of reliably terrible.
To be fair, I don't know either what of the possible use-cases are actually good use-cases.

But having a globally available, decentralized, and transparent database for some of these "certificats" could be a good thing.
What happened to overheating protection (and then hard shutdown from the BIOS)
Ah, yes, administrative costs within the medical organizations are presumably paid by passing those costs on to (payers including) insurance companies as "medical costs" and that is presumably counted in the M in the MLR (I could imagine a system that avoids it - at, ironically, the cost of some more paperwork - but I don't expect it's what we do).

It is true that the MLR cap does nothing to motivate insurance companies to avoid increasing hospital paperwork. I don't see that it produces incentive to create it - yes, increasing payments to hospitals increases allowable profit, but in order to make that profit you need sufficient revenues and customers aren't paying because they want hospitals to do paperwork. I'm of a mind that (at the margin) increasing legitimate (or nearly legitimate) medical spending is typically pretty easy so there is no need to find alternative ways of paying hospitals more; if I'm mistaken about that then you raise an important point that probably deserves attention (if it hasn't got it in some way I'm unaware of).
Yes, because if you dont pay taxes you go to prison. Not going to prison is in high demand!

No picture of the footprints?
Not really because it still "develops" the main photo properly while taking a short video. It will use a shorter exposure time so you might wanna drop it for low light shots.

Yup, I was going to say the same thing. I’m also a frequent international traveler (tho not in the last 20 months, alas, but before pandemic I averaged 2 international trips a month) and one of the benefits, security or not, of a commercial VPN service is the access to different nodes that can drastically improve speeds vs whatever routes the network you’re on is using. It’s not a guarantee but I’ve had it come in handy quite a few times.

It's not at all there is rampant fraud in the NFT market. So much so Deviantart made some detection software to help alert artists their work is being stolen.
